Ghouls Galore!

...d make an ouiji board and try and contact the spirits.  Most people had had a few spirits of a different kind by then and we would all sit round the table watching the glass move around the board wondering who was pushing it.  Afterwards no-one admitted that they did and then we’d all be wondering and worrying!  Once, while playing this game, a curtain fell down from the window and freaked us all out!  One or two people were really into all this stuff and so the dark arts arrived at the Hall – as if we didn’t have enough ghosts of our own!  I still heard all the noises in the attic from time to time which included heavy furniture being dragged around...

After the awful split up at Christmas my parents were now liv...
