There is more than one way to say these things. But I'll write what I think of first.

1. A LITTLE BIT TO MY DESCRIPTION (= Here is a little description of
myself)
"Here is a little description of myself" is fine.
You also could say:
"This is how I'd describe myself."
After you had started describing yourself, you could say
"I'd like to add a little bit to my description."

2.THE GHOST SPOOKED IN THE HOUSE.
The ghost haunted the house.

3.EVERY NIGHT THE GHOST HAUNTS AROUND IN THE HOUSE.
The ghost haunts the house every night. (This would be my first choice.)
Every night, the ghost haunts the house.
