✨👻 Boo, the little Giggle-Ghost
Boo doesn’t like to scare anyone — he just wants to make everyone smile! Every Halloween night, instead of haunting, he floats around spreading laughter and invisible tickles. They say if you hear a tiny “heeheehee” in the air, it means Boo just passed by, making sure your Halloween is more cute than spooky. 🎃💫
