Synopsis
James's family moves into an old cottage, where mysterious events unfold: objects break, strange messages appear, and the vicar's tea is spilled. Blamed for the mischief, James discovers the culprit is Thomas Kempe, a 17th-century apothecary's ghost seeking an apprentice. With no one believing him, James must find a way to banish the troublesome spirit before he loses his pocket money and pudding forever.
