He also finds out that the previous tenant in the house had committed suicide, and the place had been left vacant for four years since, until Wyatt and his family moved in, which begs the question of who put that particular newspaper article in the woodshed? If someone was trying to rent the place out, why would they put newspaper stories of dead tenants in the shed? Of course, a picture of Henry Croft is in the old papers, and Wyatt recognizes him immediately. Wyatt felt he had no choice but to look into the history of the house and delve into the woodshed’s archives, which is a totally normal thing for a kid of his age to do. The toy firetruck features in almost every instance of haunting, for some reason. Stuff gets weirder, including a wince-inducing scene with some fish hooks. Croft appears as a chain-smoking elderly man who pushes Wyatt down the stairs, which he conveniently didn’t tell his mother about at the time. In the night, Wyatt’s toys start turning on without any batteries - why do ghosts always do that? - and he takes to sleeping in Jessica’s bed, where they both hide under the covers with a torch, which has never gone well for anyone. Jessica also discovers stores of formaldehyde and embalming fluid and photographs of people in coffins who presumably died in the mines. There’s a slight note of authenticity here when Wyatt’s sister describes having been bribed to move into the house with a kitten - “Yep, I remember that,” says their mother, in the manner of someone who has had pets to look after. It certainly doesn’t help that it’s full of giant dolls in grim tableaus (that would have been my “start the car, honey” moment.) The woodshed is full of dusty folders and bloodstains on the wall. You could imagine if ghosts were real, that they might choose to live there. He describes it as looking like a haunted house, and he’s right about that. Croft, whose house he, his sister, and his mother moved into.
Wyatt’s from the mining town of Crofton, which was named after Mr.
This is immediately a return to the usual garbage that this show peddles, which is a shame after a slightly better-than-average premiere. Fittingly, then, Wyatt reckons he was haunted by the spirit of a man from the 1800s.
