Description
Over there is the old Ferndock Mansion. It was once one the finest houses in our town. Nobody lived there since old Major Abner Ferndock died 40 years ago.The place is said to be haunted..Folks claim to see strange lights in the windows at night and eerie shodows flitting past. weird sounds and music can be heard too.then theres that open attic window, the lace curtains can be seen fluttering about even when theres no breeze.
The local kids avoid the place even during daylight! every Halloween they dare each other to go up and ring the doorbell. One of these days somethings going to answer and then they get the crap scared out of them.
this is an very old drawing I did years a go. Hope you like it.

Is that the family graveyard over on the right?

No that's actually a community graveyard. Β Major Ferndock had no family unless you count the ghosts he collected.

Is there a "fictional" floor plan of this house?

Oh my god I couldn't begin to figure out a floor plan for this house since it is a combination of several Victorian buildings.

One sunny day we find the Capt., Taylor and Taylor's girl friend,Ophilia, standing outside looking up at a tall, rambling,weathered victorian mansion.
Taylor:"Okay why are we here?"
Capt:"because this be where my TARDIS said we had to be if we wish to find "The eye of Rasselon."
Ophilia:"Whats that? sounds gross."
Capt:"It's a time lord artifact, and some how it came into the possession of the man who built this place, Major Abner Ferndock. He was a collector, art, books, oddities, and ghodts."
Taylor and Taylor:"GHOSTS?!!"
Capt.:"come on lets get inside." he takes out a sonic screwdriver and points it at the doorlock. there is a clack and the heavy oak door slowly creaks open. They cautuosly step into the mansions front hall. the air is musty and gloomy. cobwebs cling to everything and the furniture is draped in dust covers."
Taylor:"Geeze this place is like something out of some old horror film."
Ophilia:"It's huge too! I mean where do we start to look?"
Suddenly a little girls voice answers her.
Lynore:"Hi, whatcha doin?" Just then the front door slams shut!
Okay now when you reply to this remember Lynore is a little girl and she is harmless. she just annoys folks by asking a lot of questions

Taylor: Ok...now...im a little freaked out
Capt: You big baby......To whoever spoke a while ago...uh..can you come out here...were we can see you?
Lynore: You didn't say the magic word
Capt:.....Please?
*Suddenly the ghost of a little girl appears from out of the floor infrount of them*
Lynore: Hi
Taylor: Can we go now?
Capt: Ask me that again and your gonna wake up with SCP-173 standing over you
Taylor: Fine.
Ophilia: Hi there...who are you?
Lynore: Im Lynore....who are you guys

Capt:"I'm the Captain and these are my companions, Lt Taylor and Ophilia."
Lynore:"Hi my name is Lynore, Whatcha doin here?"
Capt.:"We just came here to look around."
Lynore:"Why?"
Capt.:"Because there is something here we are looking for."
Lynore:"Why?"
Capt:"Because it is something that doesn't belong here and we need to return it to where it belongs."
Lynore:"Why?"
Capt:"Look it would be too hard to explain so just take my word for it it is important we get this object back to where it belongs."
Lynore:"Why?"
Capt:"Can't you say anything else besides why?"
LYnore: Yep, Look out!"
Granny Screech:"EEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRHHHHHHH!!!"

Meanwhile, Ophilia is in the mansion's music room with the ghost Roxanne.
Roxanne:"Please sit." She motions to the piano, "Do you know Darby's Castle?"
Ophilia:"Uh know but if you hum a few bars I can get the feel for it." Roxanne floats up on to the edge of the piano and hums a few bars and chorus. Ophilia begines to play and Roxanne sings.
"See the ruin on the hill,
Where the mists are hanging still.
Like an echo of an age long forgotten.
Theres a story of a home that was once those blakened stones.
And a tale of a roof that fell long before the beams were rotten.
Now Ben Darby loved his wife and he labored all his life to provide her with material possions.
And he built for her a home of the finest wood and stone.
But the house soon became his sole obsession.
Chorus:
Oh it took 300 days for all the timbers to be raised.
And it's silhoette was seen for miles around.
It's towers and gabels reached as high As the clouds
up in the sky, but it only took one night to
bring it all crashing down, When Darby's castle burned
to the ground.
Tho they shared a common bed there was very little said about
the time that they set aside for sleeping.
For Darby's busy dreams were filled with
the rooms he'de yet to build that he never heard
poor Ellen Darby weeping.
Then one night he heard a sound and he lay his pencil
down, traced to her door and turned the handle.
By the pale light of the moon, thru the window of the
room cast the shadows where two bodies lay entangled.
Chorus:
Oh it took 300 days for all the timbers to be raised.
And it's silhoette was seen for miles around.
It's towers and gabels reached as high has the clouds up
in the sky but it only took on night
to bring it all crashing down.
When Darby's castle...burned to.. the ..ground."
Roxanne finishes and Ophilia wipes a tear from her eye.
Ophilia:"That was beautiful."
Roxanne:"Thank you deary."
Then from the doorway there comes the sound of soft appluase. The Capt., Taylor and Lynore are standing there, Roxanne bows to them.
Roxanne:"Well an audience, Who are our visitors Lyn honey?"
Lynore:" This is the Capt. and Taylor and the red head is Ophilia, Thier here to look for somthin."
Roxanne:"Well, maybe I can help, after all I owe this young lady for playing for me."
Okay I thought I would clarify something about who owns Ferndock Mansion. Since the Major died 40 years ago the mansion has more or less belonged to the ghosts.
Major Ferndock was avery rich philanthropist who funded the building of librarys, hospitals public parks and theaters and in graditude the state exempted his home from any and future taxes. he also set up a trust to see to the matenance of the mansion.
Ther are 6 ghosts in residence but time to time other ghost come to stay for short periods.

Together The Capt., Taylor, Ophilia along with the ghosts Lynore and Roxanne continue the search thru the mansion's many musty halls and rooms.
Capt.:"What this room? Looks like a formal den."
The walls are paneled in a dark wood and there are hunting trophys hung on the walls. Lions, anelope, elk, bison, tiger,and other exotic wildlife and there are guns and ancient wepeons here and there along with old photos of hunting scenes.
Taylor:"Wow this Major Ferndock must of been quite an outdoors man."
Ophilia:"I think it's disgusting! shooting helpless animals for sport!"
Roxanne:"Oh no no, The Major didn't hunt! He collected all of this."
Lynore:" Yeah he was an admirer of taxy dummy."
Capt:"You mean taxidermy."
Lynore:"Thats what I said."
Just then they see a movement in one corner of the room. It's the ghosts Grogan and Dumphry.
Grogan
Dumphry:"Duuuuuuuuh, I don't believe in figurments of the imagination."
Grogan:"OOoooh ye bloody ijit! Ye are a ghost! ye been one fer 90 year now!
Dumphry
Grogan
Dumphry:"Oh...geee I didn't even know I was sick:"
Grogan lets out a curse and begins to pummel the bigger ghost until Lynoe gets between them.
Lynore:"You leave him alone!!"
Interductions are made and the Capt. explains why he and his companions are there at the mansion.
Capt."So as soon has we find the Eye of Raselon we will be going."
Dumphry:"Duuuuuuuuuuuuh does this Eye thingy about his big and is red with a blue glowing center?"
Capt.:" Yes! you seen it?"
Dumphry:"Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuh, yeah."
Taylor:"Where?"
Dumphry:"It's in the game room with Phylo,"
Roxanne:"What is hedoing with it there?"
Dumphry:"DuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuH he is using it as a bet in card game he's having with a visiting ghost."
Capt."He's using it card game?!! Whose this ghost he's Playing?"
Dumphry:"DuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuH a deseased demon named Spiesmock."
Capt. Taylor, Ophilia:"Spiesmock!!!!!!"
