THE STORYLINE
Three friends come upon a tumble-down old mansion house which has an amazing tower. They decide to explore. A cobweb strewn parlour leads to a creaky staircase and a long corridor which in turn leads to a spiral stair - to that tower!
Their flashlight flickers on the old walls as they climb up. They find themselves inside the tower room, the door locks itself and they are a bit scared now. Unbelievably before their eyes emerge some strange images - the spirits of the house!
They have a tale to tell as the friends stand listening, spellbound. Will they be allowed to leave or are they now involved in the story that has entrapped the spirits here at Stokelake for all these years?
There are 10 Over To You gripping activities fully described but you will find your students will want to try many more as they get creative with the storyline!
