One of Romania’s oldest buildings – Catalina Castle – has been sold following the appearance of a ghastly ghoul. The ghost was seen by Baron Berbatov and his wife, Olga, while they were sleeping in the castle’s master bedroom last month.

Olga Berbatov described “a white shrouded figure with red eyes that seemed to float above the ground”. The Baron described the piercing shriek the ghost made.

“It looks like our villain might have done this before,” Wily said. “And I wonder who he was calling there? Time for a trip to Romania, I think. After what happened at the Hapgood office, I need to leave town anyway.”

“Sure thing, Wily,” said Albert.

“In the meantime, keep looking through those hotel records,” said Wily. “I’ll call when I get to Romania.”

“Oh yes, about that,” Albert said. “I wasn’t going to tell you this, but…”

“What is it?” Wily asked.

Albert sighed. “The control bar of your hang-glider has a purple button underneath it. Press that twice and you’ll go at the speed of sound. I haven’t tested it properly yet, but—”

“Bravo, Albert!” Wily said. “If Roderick calls while I’m away, tell him to start selling tickets for Saturday. And save me a seat in the front row.”

Wily felt for the button under the control bar and pressed it twice. He zipped forwards at the speed of sound, the wind blowing his ears flat.
