    Talking Crabmas and The Haunting of the Crooked Castle |aka What's in the Walls|

    Hello cousin Bisquie What’s up?? Oh, you have some time off and you and your family want to come visit Crabmas island!!

    We should get there either on the 25th or 26th depending on the weather, I know it’s your busy time of the year so we will get a hotel room. So don’t you worry..

    Nonsense, said the Christmas Crab, The Crooked Castle has plenty of room. I won’t have time to hang out till the 26th but you and your family are welcome to use the guest wing all you want.

    Are you sure??

    Of course I'm sure.. Just use the side entrance so as not to disturb the helpers..it’s easy to find, it's just on the side of the castle right next to the wreath barrels..There's a key under the door mat!!

    Ok, if you're sure..

    I'm sure!! Have a safe trip and we’ll hang out after Crabmas!! Bye..


    I just got off the phone with my cousin Bisquie!! He and his family are coming to visit after Crabmas!!

    Since we are way ahead of schedule this year and have a little time before we fill the sleigh, I thought tomorrow some of us could go and tidy up the guest wing. It hasn’t been used in years so it’s probably full of roosters and soccer balls!!

    It's time to clean!! First let's take all our cleaning stuff down to the guest wing and then we can split up and clean several rooms at once!! We can take the secret back stairs behind the bookcase in the library so we don't have to go outside!!



    Ok..let's split up into groups of two or three and get to......What was that noise??

    OMG, it sounded like a monster!! said a prawn..

    There are monsters in the walls??
    asked a lobster..

    Just hold on,
    said the Christmas Crab trying to calm everyone down when the lights started to flicker!!

    Oh no..look at the xmas lights on the wall,
    said Steve..Its just like in Stranger Things!! Someone in the upside down is trying to communicate with us!!!!!!!!!!!

    Now hold on,
    said the Crab, but no one heard him, everyone was just freaking out!!



    Then all of a sudden the noises stopped and the lights stopped flashing (except for the Xmas lights, they were just the blinky kind) and everyone settled down..

    I don't think it's safe to be down here, not for us and not for your cousin!! said a prawn..

    Oh stop being silly,
    the Christmas Crab said, this castle is hundreds of years old and this part hasn't been used much in decades..It's just some old pipes rattling and some wiring the needs looking after..we'll have a maintenance crew look into it after the holidays!! Now come on, this castle is not possessed or anything, lets get to work!!

    Now, you guys, you go over there, we'll take that room, lobsters you take the game room and Steve can check the lights in the long hall!!

    So they split up and went off to get cleaning so they could be done in time to pack the sleigh!!

    The Christmas Crab and a helper went to clean a room at the end of the hall, once inside they found the lights weren't working, so they lit some candles..

    What's that?? the prawn said..

    What's what??

    I hear whispering!!

    It's probably just the wind!!

    No, I swear I hear people whispering to me!! Oh my..What if it's the dead trying to tell me something??



    We really need to stop watching scary movies at night!!

    No..its real..I can hear the dead, I swear!!!!!!!

    BOOM!!

    Aaaaaahhhh!! It's the noise in the walls again..It could be a demogorgon!!!!!

    Oh jeez..

    OMG, what's that in the corner?? I..I..I see dead people!! And he fainted!!

    Just then there was another boom and rattle from the walls and the lights came on!!

    That's better.. The generator must have come on,
    said the Christmas Crab.. Now wake up and see that there's nothing to be afraid of..

    B..B..But, there are dead people..Right There!!

    No, well yes, but no....That's just Fred and Jerry..The ghosts..What are you guys doing here??

    Oh, we heard about the cleaning and thought we'd come over to help!!



    Ok, so not dead people....Well..you know, but what about the whispering??

    We weren't whispering, but we were listening to our Dead Milkmen tapes on our Walkmen pretty loud, so you probably just heard that coming out of our headphones??

    Yeah..I guess that could have been it..

    See..
    said the Christmas Crab, it isn't haunted, it was just ghosts!!

    Rainbow Goat and the lobsters went into the game room to tidy up..The lights still seemed to have a mind of their own, but were staying on longer each time they came back on, but it still made it extra spooky!!

    Ok, you guys dust the pachinkos and I'll go over to that dark corner and vacuum!!



    Rainbow Goat headed over to the corner past the Skee Ball, but once he got over there an eerie chill ran through his body..

    Oh my, guys..I think I just stepped into a cold spot..I think that means there's a poltergeist or something here!! I'm gonna get out of here before I start hearing creepy laughing or something!!


    *Hears creepy laughing*

    Man, I'm outta here!! I need to go find the others and tell them that this place is haunted!!




    And Rainbow Goat ran off leaving behind the lobsters!!

    Umm..should we follow him?? asked a lobster..

    Well I for one ain't saying here to get possessed by an evil atmospheric condition!!

    And with that, the two lobsters dropped their dusters and ran off after the goat!!

    The last group consisted of Steve the hot hippo and two helper prawns..They were off to make sure the light bulbs were all good in the long hallway..The electricity had decided to finally stay on, so it seemed they might actually be able to get this done!!

    Flip the switch!!
    said Steve..

    One of the prawns turned on the light switch and right away several bulbs popped and went out!!

    I guess we have some work to do, said the other prawn.. Hand me some bulbs, Steve!!

    But Steve didn't move..He looked frozen with fear!!



    Steve..are you ok??


    Steve tried to talk but they couldn't hear him..


    What was that Steve, speak up!!

    D..D..Did you guys see that..at the end of the hall??

    See what??

    T..T..Twin C..C..Clowns!!!!!!!

    One of the prawns turned on his flashlight and pointed it down the hall..And what stood in front of them were indeed two identical clowns standing creepily at the end of the hall!!



    One prawn tried to run away, but turned and ran right into the wall, the other prawn dropped his flashlight and ran to the nearest open door, which was to the Yellow room.. Steve couldn't take anymore and fainted..When he fell it made such a loud noise that everyone in the guest wing heard it and came running..

    When Steve came to, the only thing still in the hall was a slightly dazed prawn..no clowns??

    Steve helped the prawn and went into the Yellow room where he saw the other prawn waiting..

    After hearing Steve fall, everyone made there way to the long hallway and found Steve and the prawns in the Yellow room where they all caught their breaths and tried to catch each other up on what had been going on, but before everyone finished sharing their spooky experiences Steve noticed something..

    Hey, is it just me, or is that wall moving??
    Steve said..OMG, there's Blood!! Dripping Up the wall!!



    More screaming and panic ensued!!

    Wait, how is it dripping up??

    Oh, I remember, this room has anti gravity wallpaper!! said the Christmas Crab..

    Oh, ok..but Why is there blood??

    Wait, said Steve, I don't think it's blood..let me just....

    Don't lick it Steve!!

    But it's strawberry!!


    What??

    Yeah, strawberry..strawberry jam!!

    Ok, not blood, that's good, but where is it coming from??

    Look, there's a gap near the floor..I think there might be a opening behind this panel..Help me move it..

    What's back there??


    OMG it's, it's........

    Talking Re: Crabmas and The Haunting of the Crooked Castle

    It's Cousin Bisquie???!!!



    What are you doing here..In the walls?!?!

    Well, we got an earlier flight!! We got here and found the green side door and let ourselves in, we didn't think you'd mind if we were a few days early..But the guest wing turned out to be a lot narrower and darker than I remember..we've been stumbling around since we got here trying to find our rooms!!

    Of course I don't mind you coming early, but wait....did you say green side door?? Oh no!! I forgot there were two doors on that side of the
    castle.. One to the guest wing that's blue and the green one that leads to the maintenance tunnels..in the walls..the same key opens both, I'm So sorry cousin!!

    It's ok, it's been an adventure!!

    Wait, said a prawn..Were you the ones that were causing all the weird noises??

    Probably, we were pretty loud..

    But what about the lights and xmas lights going on and off??

    Oh, that was probably when I was pulling wires and flipping switches trying to get the lights to work!!

    What about the banging and whispering??

    Oh, that was probably when I knocked over the pile of empty paint cans and fell into the switch box for the generator..It hurt a bit and with the kids around I was trying not to scream bad words so I was sort of whispering gibberish, but sort of loudly!!

    What about the cold spots and laughing??

    Oh, that was probably when I was trying to open a vent I found to get some heat, but it was a vent to the outside, so tons of cold air came in until I shut it.. We had a good laugh about that!!

    And the clown twins??


    Clown twins, what??

    Oh, umm,
    the Christmas Crab said..We don't talk about the Clowns!! Shhhhhhhh!!

    Ok....Anyway, what about the blood..I mean jam dripping up the walls??

    Oh, that..we found some old preserves back there and were about to have some lunch when I accidentally bumped into a shelf and a bunch of the jars fell off and smashed onto the floor right next to that gap in the wall..I guess the anti gravity wallpaper took it from there!!



    So, the guest wing really wasn't haunted after all, just like the Christmas Crab had been trying to tell everyone the whole time!! Now if they'd been in the attic, that place is Totally haunted!!

    After that, everyone worked together to finish the cleaning up.. Then cousin
    Bisquie and his family got some rest and everyone else got back to work getting the Spam Sleigh ready for Crabmas!!
