- Synopsis:
Watson is discovered as the doctor in charge of a retreat Hulstone Towers Northumberland, ancestral home of the Musgraves, haunted by ghosts and the wailing of lost souls are heard on the limewalks. The Musgraves have "opened their home" to these patients, but it is a grim, cheerless place. Sexton (Arthur Margetson) the doctor assisting Watson is stabbed by an unknown person; and the clock in the tower strikes thirteen, an event local legends say precedes the death of a Musgrave. Watson (Nigel Bruce) decides to hurry back to London and consult with Holmes (Basil Rathbone). Holmes returns with Watson to Musgrave Manor, and his immediate impression is one of foreboding: "Houses, like people, have definite personalities and this place is positively ghoulish!"... - Actors:
