    About this ebook

    Lucy has her dream job as lead presenter for the most popular ghost hunting show on UK TV, and their latest investigation is at spooky Darling Manor. The Manor has a locked room with no key, and the creepy legend of an eccentric ancestor who had herself embalmed and sealed inside, so it's great TV. The only problem being, Lucy is beginning to believe there might be something to the stories. When supernatural forces make themselves known, she must listen to her instincts as lives are put on the line.

    Check out the story on my YouTube Channel, Tales with Tasha.

    Four haunting micro stories also included.

      LOOKING FOR LUTICIA

      The Perils of Ghost Hunting

      Ch1 Something Wrong

      One need not be a chamber to be haunted. One need not be a house. The brain has corridors surpassing material place.

      — Emily Dickson

      TODAY WE ARE REALLY EXCITED to be at Darling Manor. This building has been the source of local legends and stories of hauntings for generations and, this weekend, we have been given exclusive access to investigate for ourselves. With me is Jason Darling, the current owner of the Manor. Jason, thank you so much for having us.

      Thank you for coming.

      Your family has owned the Manor since the sixteenth century, is that correct?

      Yes, it was granted to my ancestor by Henry VIII after the dissolution of the monasteries.

      And did you grow up hearing stories about all the ghosts?

      My uncle used to love to scare all the children when we stayed here for family gatherings, like Christmas. It was always my favourite part of the visits when my parents brought me.

      So, you didn't actually live here?

      No, my uncle inherited the Manor, but he died this year without any children. Since I'm the eldest of the next generation it passed to me.

      Not your parents?

      That's all part of the weird history of the manor. My first ancestor made a will and the manor always has to pass to the oldest child of the next generation be they male or female, which was unheard of at the time. There was also a stipulation that any spouse be allowed to continue living here until their death. Breaking that rule is one of the things that can really upset the ghosts.

      Really?

      Oh yes, at the turn of the twentieth century a relative tried to challenge the testament, saying he should have originally inherited because he was the oldest male heir. The court, in their patriarchal wisdom, granted the property to him after his older sister died rather than passing it to a niece, and the story goes that he was driven out within a week.

      Well let's hope the ghosts don't mind us poking around then.

      Oh, I'm sure they won't.

      And cut.

      Lucy looked away from Jason Darling.

      Was that okay? she asked Karl.

      Perfect, Karl replied and grinned at her.

      She smiled back even though she wasn't really feeling it.

      Thanks, Jason, she said.

      If she let on that Darling Manor gave her the creeps, she would never hear the end of it. That was one of the drawbacks of being the lead host of the most popular ghost hunting show on UK TV. She was all too aware half the crew called her 'the screamer' behind her back because sometimes,
