they explore the dormitory attic where they learn about a mysterious
ghost that lives there. In the tunnels of KSD, they find a silver
pitcher antique and encounter some strange ghosts and happenings
along the way. Join the adventure and read this excerpt.
"A ghost-like figure shot up from sitting on the side of the
tunnel at the entrance of the storage room. His face was gleaming
white and he wore a dirty, tattered blue soldier's uniform.
In the dark, the boys could see his large bony hands.
"I've been waiting for you," said the ghost. He made some eerie,
guttural sounds as if he was choking.
Matt turned to Donald but Donald was too frightened to interpret
in sign language to his deaf friend what the ghost had said.
The ghost picked up his rife and aimed at the boys.
"This pitcher is mine and I've come back to claim it." The ghost's
teeth began to chatter and he made guttural sounds again. The
ghost aimed his gun over the boys' heads.
"POW!" The gun exploded and the tunnel filled up with smoke
and the smell of gunpowder." |
