Based on ''Literature/PianoLessonsCanBeMurder'', book #13 of the original ''Literature/{{Goosebumps}}'' series.

Jerry discovers an old piano in the attic of his family's new house, only to find it's haunted by its former owner.

----
!!The episode provides examples of:

* CoolAndUnusualPunishment: Unlike the book, Mr. Toggle's fate is shown here. As punishment for terrorizing Jerry [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking and being a lazy student when he was younger]], the ghost, revealed to be Mr. Toggle's piano teacher from his youth in this version, makes him practice the piano in the now-derelict Shreek School's recital hall for eternity.
* {{Leitmotif}}: Beethoven's Moonlit Sonata, which becomes a frightening one when the disembodied hands start banging on the keyboards.
* NamedByTheAdaptation: Jerry's mother is given the first name Adele, while Mr. Toggle is given the first name of Andrew.
* RaceLift: Kim Li Chin, who is implied to be Asian by name and appearance in the book, is African-American in the episode.
