“The Ghosts of Haddon Hall”: John Henry Manners, the 9th Duke of Rutland, is visiting Haddon Hall with his wife and children. Abandoned for over two centuries and now dilapidated, his ancestral home is slated for demolition. Stranded there overnight, the Duke and his family are unexpected witnesses to a “spirited” holiday celebration involving the many generations who have made this their home. These ghostly participants do their best to convince the Duke that Haddon Hall must be saved.
