4 Terror in the tower

Chapter 4 Terror in the tower The next day, there were four funerals in Nether Bogey. Three men had drowned in the nearby marshes. The fourth man, Jimmy Flint, had died of fright. Why do so many people die around here?

After the funeral, Magnus Duggan, the clock winder, slowly climbed the church tower to wind the clock. He was exhausted. For the last few nights, noises from Mystery Mansion had kept him awake. If he did fall asleep, it was to terrifying nightmares, filled with bats. Now, as he climbed, Magnus heard strange scuffles overhead. H-hello?

The next moment, he was surrounded by leathery wings. Hundreds of bats were flapping over his head. With a terrified scream, Magnus fell back down the stairs... just as he always did in his nightmares.
