Synopsis

On the Ghost Trail is a spooky mystery story with a surprising hero. Grandpa's creaky old house is the perfect place for ghosts, or so Kevin teases his younger siblings when they go to stay there. He shows Mick and Susie the evidence - the cobwebs in the fireplace are bits of ghost that have been left behind, a tapping sound is its heat-beat. So when Kevin dares them to get on its trail and hunt down the ghost in the church graveyard at midnight, will they be brave enough to go with him?
