Heather finds the mound when she tries to escape the hordes of tourists who invade the stately home where she lives.
“Wild Robert, I wish you were really under there!” she cries. “You could come out and deal with the tourists!”
All of a sudden, there is a smell like earth and strange spices. A voice says, “Did somebody call?”
Heather gets her wish, and nothing is ever the same again!
Wild Robert is a gentle, charming ghost, who is half a magician [on his mother’s side]. He returns after 350 years and is horrified by the antics of the tourists at his once home Castlemaine House. Since he’s a ghost who haunts by day, he plays some wonderfully wicked pratical jokes which drive the tourists away...
