IN THIS EPISODE: War brings out the worst in men – and sometimes it brings it out the monsters as well. (Monsters and the Military) *** Haunting the corridors of the Preston School of Industry are dark tales of mystery and murder. (Preston Castle: The Haunted Reform School) *** A tall, thin, frightening stranger appears to a group of children who soon discover it’s best not to scream. (He Moves When We Scream) *** A boy is sent to stay with his aunt—and discovers that her house is haunted. It sounds like a page out of a cliché horror movie, but this time it’s real. (The View From The Other Side) *** William Wilson was such a lonely, boring man that when he was found dead the newspapers had to invent stories to make it more entertaining. (The Mysterious Murder of William Wilson)
