It’s been a day of drama and excitement in town.
Mike and his occasional workmate Ed are doing some work up at the castle, expanding the shop and ticket office. Today they started taking down an old partition that had been put up in the seventies and much to their surprise (and Mike’s running away screaming horror) inside the partition they discovered a collection of bones including a human skull. Ed and Cynthia from the castle called the police and now the whole area is cordoned off and men in masks and gloves are putting things in polythene bags. The town hasn’t seen anything like this since ‘Macbeth’ was on at the castle last summer. Speculation is rife. The theory gathering most credence is that the bones belong to ‘Blind Walter’ who disappeared in the summer of 1976. At the time people thought that he had perhaps been washed away in the river whilst trying to cool down in the heat. But after today’s grim discovery people are beginning to think that perhaps he stumbled into the building works when the partition was being put in, and then was accidentally walled in.
As yet the police are making no comment and Mike is in The Feathers, shaking with a whisky.
