Hello, this is Janna and welcome to the start of a brand new original series here on Story

Nore.

Our stories like Wicked Uncle, Astro Puppet and Katie are always amongst our most popular.

We hope you are going to enjoy this new series just as much.

It's going to be read by me, Janna, and it's written by Bertie of course.

It's set in central London around Hyde Park and Paddington.

Places that Bertie knows really well.

So expect lots of authentic details.

It's about a London hotel called The Dutch Hotel.

There's something special about the hotel.

Can you guess what it is?

Well, I'll give you a clue.

We're launching this series in the run up to Halloween.

So if you like spooky stories, you are going to love this new series.

I could tell you more, but why waste time?

Let's get going with the story.

The Dutch Hotel.

The Joneses lived in central London in a muse house.

You can find muse houses down little side streets that run behind the big houses.

Nowadays they are expensive and fashionable homes, small-ish, but pretty.
