The Frightened Ghost

By Sean Brandywine

An abandoned asylum for the criminally insane was, perhaps, the ideal place for a television documentary about ghosts – particularly if the former asylum already had a reputation for being haunted.

But the television series, Spook Spies, like many such shows, was a fake. The “ghosts” and ghostly happenings that appeared on screen were set up by the production crew.

Even so, Holly considered herself extremely lucky when she got a role in the TV ghost hunter show. It was her first role as an actress, even though she soon became fully aware that everything was faked and most of the crew believed that ghosts did not really exist. After all, this was acting, wasn’t it?

Yet, there was something very strange about the Gordon Heights Asylum, not least when they found a dead body in one of the rooms, a teenager who died only a few days before but whose body looked like an ancient mummy. And then a real ghost warned them to beware.

What an amazing opportunity to film some real ghosts and ghostly happenings! But dealing with real ghosts was the least of the problems when something else started appearing in that asylum, something that was far worse than any ghost. Holly and the others would have to fight for their lives, and quite possibly for the lives of the rest of the human race...
