Mr Haywood never asked for this. He liked to gamble, yes--in fact, he enjoyed a good game of dice as much as the next guy. Well, maybe a bit more than the next guy, but this was still unfair. When the silly old hag bet her own house, he imagined cosy afternoons spent in front of the fireplace with a good book and a glass of sherry in his hand. No one told him about the spooky business. How was he supposed to know the mansion had placed second in the annual 'Hoo is hoo' competition. That was five years ago, though. Since then, most of the staff has disappeared, until there was only the old bogeyman left, who couldn't scare a mouse in an elephant suit. But where will he find new hands, just five days before Halloween...?
