Ghost Story of the Ghost Orphans of Ravensbreath Castle

Nine children, orphans all, drowned at sea over 200 years ago. Their bewildered spirits were salvaged from the waves and imprisoned in a castle, Ravensbreath Castle, in the unseen realm of Ravensbreath Island. And who are the spirit children? It seems no one will say for sure. Perhaps there is more than one answer, more than one story. One thing is certain; the mysterious forces at work are not kind to the waifs who face absolute deletion unless someone saves them. And many have tried only to become embroiled in nightmares and challenges against the malevolent evil out to destroy them all.

There is magic, there is mystery, there is terror. But there is also love and humour and friendship between unlikely souls and it could be that that saves them from extinction. But will it? The stories are being written now. One day we will know whatever becomes of the ghost orphans of Ravensbreath Castle.
This is a world unlike any other. The more it stays the same the more it changes.

A word from Mr Oood about the ghost orphans.
Who is Mr Oood you may ask? You will have to read the book when it is finished. Enjoy.
If you have any comments you wish to make please tell the children in their ghostbook guestbook or Facebook.

About Annabel Lee

The older children avoid being around her with her silly, sometimes cruel tricks and practical jokes, such as dangling from the chandelier in the Banqueting Hall and shouting boo! when they pass by unaware. And they don't like her strange habit of burning everyone's clothes including her own. Of course she insists it's not her fault. Her Ogre's Eyeball talisman has a mind of its own and goes off the minute she's not paying attention.

 

Percy, her fastidious, quiet brother puts up with her out of duty but he especially hates wearing burnt clothes. Still, what can he do? Finding new ghost clothes in their lost world is quite impossible and Annabel would just singe those too, with him still in them!

Here are some questions. Do you have the answers? Maybe you have some questions of your own. We'd like to hear them. They will be gathered in a notebook and addressed somewhere in the ghost children's books so be sure to watch out for them. You may ask about Annabel Lee or any of the ghost children.

1. Why is Annabel so mean?
2. Is she really as mean as she seems?
3. Is it her personality or might something have happened to her?
4. What would be a good way to handle being around Annabel Lee?
5. Who are the other ghost children?
6. Why have the ghost orphans been bound like prisoners to Ravensbreath Castle for centuries?
7. And are they doomed to fade into thin air or will something or someone can find a way to release them and help them to finally move on?
8. Can there ever be hope that Annabel might learn to love and be loved?
   
   Post your answers with the question on their ghostbook and they will one day be answered.
