‘Turn the lights on John!’ yelled Sophie. Above all the commotion was the sound of Susie crying, ‘Help! Help! Real ghothts! Help! Help!’ John, all alone up in the lighting gallery, had felt a shiver run down the back of his spine when he had seen the real ghosts appear on stage. He had watched, mesmerised in horror. Only Sophie's shouting to turn on the lights had brought him back to his senses. Trembling he reached for the house light switch and suddenly the whole of The Barn Theatre was bathed in glorious, bright white light. ‘Into the house!’ cried Beaky. 84
The children raced out of The Barn Theatre back to Sophie's house, barged through the door, and into the kitchen where they stood puffing and panting and trying to catch their breath. Susie was sobbing uncontrollably. 'Those were real ghothts. I know they were! The barn is haunted!’ Sophie had been shocked by the sight of the apparitions but now back in her cosy kitchen it seemed impossible that real ghosts could have appeared - especially when her mum came in to see why everyone had charged into the kitchen in such chaos. ‘We saw two howwible ghothth!’ wailed Susie, still trembling. ‘Two ghosts?’ said Sophie's mum. ‘I thought there were at least four in A Christmas Carol.’ ‘No. These ones were real,’ said Cressida seriously. ‘If there are some real ghosts out there I want to see them,’ said Sophie's mum smiling. ‘Anyone brave enough to come with me?’ 85
