The Pirate Ghost is an entry in the Hardy Boys Clue Book series, aimed at younger readers. Frank and Joe Hardy are investigating a mystery with an element of the supernatural, likely at a local seaside or historical exhibit. The boys hear tales of a shadowy pirate ghost haunting a specific location, perhaps a boat or an old lighthouse, and they must determine if the ghost is real or if someone is using the spooky legend as a cover for a crime, such as smuggling or theft. The Hardy Boys must explore the creepy locations, gather physical evidence, and catch the living culprit disguised as a phantom.
