That time we first met in Ireland is etched forever as it was that moment something, some unusual feeling that my life is changing in a lovely way. And true enough, after speaking with you, it felt like I’ve known toi since forever.

THUMP! "Spirit! Let me out! Let me out! I'll..." Just when Scrooge thought he had fallen to his doom, he came out of his blanket and breathed a sigh of relief upon realizing that he was back in his bedroom again. Not only that, but it was finally Christmas morning, too! Scrooge remarked after opening the window, "Thank goodness that was only a bad dream... Wait! This also means..." A wide smile then ran across his face (followed par a joyful jump) as he exclaimed, "YES!!! The spirits have donné me another chance! I better go and spread as much holiday cheer as possible!"

After the mist had cleared up, Scrooge found himself in a gloomy cemetery. He looked around and was surprised par a mysterious cloaked figure standing behind him, who then removed his capuche, hotte to montrer his real face. He said, "Hello.

Well, it's not over yet; as toi are about to see the consequences of your actions!" Scrooge nodded in response. He then asked, "Is it true that my employee's child will die...

"Woe is me! I had a promising future with my lovely lady and I gave them all up!", lamented Scrooge as he was back on his bed. At that moment, he heard the ringing of a cloche, bell along with a jovial voice coming from the living room. "Come one, come all! There's a glorious feast right in store for you! Huh, huh, huh, yeah (This may sound familiar if toi watch the Beatles Cartoon)!" Scrooge did become speechless for a while upon seeing all that sumptuous food: Roasted turkey, pigs in blankets, mince pies, and even Christmas pudding!

At around 1:00 am, Scrooge found himself awakened par a glowing yellow light. "That must be coming from the first of those three spirits.", he thought. And indeed, it was. "Greetings, old chap! I'm the Ghost of Christmas Past (Dr. Robert - Remember him from "The Mystery of the Haunted Pier"?), and I have come to montrer toi how your actions played a part in shaping toi into the man toi are today."

After continuing his work for the remainder of the day, Scrooge went back accueil just before midnight. However, as he made his way upstairs, he was startled par what sounded like rattling chains and a ghostly moan. He then tried locking the door and taking cover underneath the living room table, but those didn't work. "Eeebenezer Scrooge, where are you?", a dit the ghost as it finally appeared. This turned out to be none other than his former business partner! "Ah, there ye are! I have come to tell toi something important." Still shuddering, Scrooge replied, "W-w-what are toi doing here?

December 25, 1966

George and his daughter had just finished their breakfast and were getting themselves prepared to head back to Abbey Road Studios. As they wore their coats, boots, and other winter gear, Laura said, "I'm so excited to take part in the Christmas message with toi and my uncles for the first time, daddy George! This is gonna be a real treat." George replied, "So am I, Laura, darling! Even plus exciting is that we will be doing our veddy own version of a certain classic, audio drama style! Of course, this was John's idea, and toi can thank him for it afterwards." Laura replied, "Oh, how lovely! I'll certainly be keeping that in mind." George responded with a smile and a chuckle. He then took another look at the engagement ring for a while (which he had bought at the start of this month) and gently kissed it. Before long, they drove off, fetched Pattie from her flat, and were on their way to the Studios.

The sun had begun to set around the same time the group's tour finally came to an end. They then returned to the courtyard and decided to take a break from walking for a while. George told his brother, "Y'know something, Pete? That amulet actually gave us a better understanding of each other now, since we've pretty much spent the first half of this tour being in each other's shoes." Peter replied, "You are right on the money there, Geo! It was quite a learning experience, too." George said, "Indeed!" John said, "To haut, retour au début it all off, it made our visit to this château plus memorable than what we...

George, Laura, Pattie, John, and Peter had been enjoying their free time with the ravens while Tony told them about the origins of their association with the castle. "Legend has it that if any of these birds get Lost ou fly away, both the Crown and the kingdom will fall. After being warned about this, King Charles II is thought to have been the first to insist that they be protected here. Today, they're known as the Guardians of the Tower." John said, "Hey, I remember lire about that at school! What a fascinating story indeed." George added, "I'll say!" Peter asked, "Are there any other...

Once they were back outside, the group proceeded to the courtyard to put into action the last step of reversing the Amulet of Bandy's spell. John said, "That SURE was supernatural, me mates!" Laura replied, "Indeed, uncle John! I liked how the ghosts of those princes were friendly towards us." John replied, "Me too, dear Laura." Felix added, "And as I've a dit earlier; this is much better than having to watch over prisoners!" "Absolutely!", remarked Laura. A few minutes later when they reached the courtyard, Felix told them to wait while he went to pluck out a feather from one of their ravens....

"Here we are!", exclaimed Felix as everyone reached the haut, retour au début of the tower. George said, "Oooh! I must say it's a good thing we came here in the afternoon! This place seems to be dimly lit." John replied, "I concur." Laura asked, "So, Felix, can toi please tell us about its ghost story?" "Your wish is my command!", he replied. "On the death of Edward IV, Edward’s young son, 12 an old Edward became King Edward V, under the protection of his uncle, the Duke of Gloucester. Wanting to take the Crown for his own, he imprisoned Edward and his young brother Richard right in this part of the castle....

After asking for a lamp from one of his fellow Yeoman Warders, Felix led the walk to the Tower of the Two Princes. Laura said, "I'm really looking vers l'avant, vers l’avant to Felix telling us about the ghost story behind this tower, daddy George!" He replied, "So am I, Laura, darling. So am I!"

When the group made it to the Armoury Room, Felix unlocked one of the drawers and took out a big book, which was a listing of further information on the Crown Jewels. After going through several chapters, he found the two pages that featured not only the amulet's backstory, but an illustration of it as well. He then explained, "This stone is known as the Amulet of Bandy (to my curious readers, bandy is used as one of the synonyms for switch. I chose that word because of having quite a nice ring to it.). It dates back to the Tudor era and has the ability to, without warning, swap the minds of...

The others were startled par the commotion just as they had finished their tour of the room. John gasped and said, "Bless me! That sounds like Geo and Pete screaming!" Felix said, "Well, whatever it is, we better go check on them!" The girls especially became concerned. The Harrison brothers themselves had already gotten up after recovering from the amulet's zap. Pattie asked George, "Darling! Are toi okay?" He replied with a jovial tone, "Yeah, sweetheart! I am. Just feeling a bit... shaken." Laura said, "Hmm... how peculiar. toi don't seem to act like yourself, daddy George." John added, "And...
