Spook room
This is a tiny room with a slanting roof that I didn't know what to do with. Even getting my hands into it was difficult, as you can see by the uneven floorboards. As all grand old houses have their own resident spook, I decided that this will be where the Spook of Greystoke Manor lives.
The story behind it goes:
Sometime in Georgian times, a family member was on the run from the law. The head of the family at the time, Lord Lucien Greystoke hid the gentleman, with some supplies, in this tiny, damp and mouldy room, then bricked it up, so that there would be no evidence showing when the house was searched for the fugitive. Unfortunately, Lord Lucien was killed in a duel before the danger had passed and he could free him. Because he had not yet shared the secret with anyone else, the fugitive subsequently died a lonely, hungry death.
The skeleton will eventually be dressed in the tattered remains of a Georgian era gentleman's suit, with a broken water jug and a gnawed ham bone by his side!
