A tourist named Martin and his female companion decide to take the offer. The ghost appears to them around midnight but the ghost starts to walk away when he sees the tourists. The couple chases the ghost down and catch up to it. They learn that it is a very friendly ghost that has roamed the castle for centuries. The ghost introduces himself as the Earl of Meachum, the original owner of the castle. The ghost goes on to say that he was murdered by his cousin the first Lord Frumley. The first Lord Frumley then forged a deed showing that he and not Meachum was the rightful owner of the castle. The ghost goes on to say that he seeks someone to unearth the deed and show it to the proper authorities. The couple heads to the family cemetery where they find Meachums grave. They locate the true deed in a secret compartment located inside of Meachums headstone. It shows that Lord Frumley has no right to the castle.
