The Ghosts of Motley Hall Cast

While Fanny tries to bail out his room, which is flooding with rainwater from a leaky roof, Sir George, Bodkin and the White Lady find themselves becoming envious of Matt’s ability to leave the confines of the Hall. When Mr. Gudgin arrives the ghosts try to lead him upstairs to Fanny’s room so that he can arrange for repairs, but a prank of Matt’s sends the poor estate agent fleeing in terror. An annoyed Sir George returns to writing his memoirs, but he soon becomes stuck while trying to recall the exact spelling of his A.D.C., Brigadier Bunhaven. The White Lady suggests holding a séance to contact the Brigadier, but when the group convene around their Ouija Board, it appears that Matt is deliberately moving the glass. Sir George is furious, and he expels the stable boy from Motley; protesting his innocence, Matt sulkily leaves, but then another Matt materialises in the hall in his place - and this evil doppelganger vows to put paid to the ghosts by sowing the seeds of dissent amongst them…
