Synopsis

"I will buy your castle," declared Hiram H. Hopgood. "But only if there are no ghosts!" What is young Alex MacBuff to do? He can't afford to keep his beloved Castle Carra - and an American millionaire has made him an offer he can't refuse. But the castle is full of ghosts! There's Krok the hairy Viking warrior, mad Miss Spinks, a hell-hound called Cyril, and a vampire with no teeth. How can Alex stop them from haunting Hiram?
