Detailed plot description
Setting: small semi modern town at dusk/leading to the stables at dawn.
Location ideas:
-Broads Equestrian Centre
-Ditchingham Primary School
After one friend swears they saw something at night roaming their local town,Ollie coaxes
her friend Tyson to investigate, and with an extensive knowledge of Ghost Adventures, the
pair and their trusted canine venture through the area. With no luck, they resort to going into
the local school. After being locked in by the (seemingly) spiteful caretaker, they investigate
and make the best of their situation. They find files in the store room speaking of a death of a
past student. Intrigued, the pair look further into the mystery, and they end up finding the
final piece of the puzzle; an old children’s book that has been untouched in the library for
years, with pages ripped out, scrawled handwriting and sigils. Unknowing of the dangers,
they take the book away to read and investigate, which triggers the spirit to run rampant as
the book and its enchantment was the only thing keeping the spirit sedate.
They ask the caretaker the next day; it’s revealed he’s part of the child’s family. There’s a
newspaper clipping on the wall of the child’s obituary, stating that the body was not
recovered from the school grounds.(perhaps the child could have been killed by the horse
via the horse getting spooked at a fete via it being possessed and trampling the child,leaving
what was left of the child's purity as a single white hoof) The caretaker also reveals that the
book the group found was an old book of spells which he has been using over the past
decade or so to keep the soul sedate. They go back the next night, trying to find where the
body may reside. Upon investigating the pond, Tyson goes to kick a stone into the pond, but
feels a hand grab his ankle and he is dragged under and is thought to be dead. Saddened
and distraught,Ollie works hard to excavate the body and destroy it, animate or not.
Returning to the library, they try to find another copy, thinking that the jock character had the
original when he died, but the library is trashed, with books everywhere and in a mess.
(speculative ending) in the leftovers of the library there was one object the dog found which
seemed out of place,a horseshoe runed with demonic markings,upon realisation that the
horse must have a larger role in the story,Ollie goes to try and perhaps purify or get rid of the
horse,hoping that then the world will go back to normal and the tormented souls of those
involved would be put at ease,Ollie goes with the loyal canine to the nearest stable to find

2. out whether the horses spirit can be put to rest,the horse appears once more and stronger
than ever,whatever was using the horse's spirit was somehow more powerful.Ollie and the
dog head over to where the horse was kept and laid low whilst trying to come up with a plan
of action.Observing that the horse had one white foot and that Ollie had found a horseshoe
near the scene of the tragedy,she speculated that if the shoe was either destroyed/perhaps
reunited with the horse that the spirits which were somehow bound to the shoe would be set
free,severing the demons ties to them both and thus banishing the demon from this realm.

entity. Caretaker tells them to go the stables, where a horseshoe is needed to banish the
demon. Caretaker can’t leave the spirit(s) alone at the school, therefore needs someone who
he can trust to help banish the demon. Demon has to lure the children out of the school to
fully possess them to kill people. Caretaker has to keep the children from leaving. The book
was enchanted to protect the school.
