Major Meek..safe and blood stains

Hi Bob, it's James Paul here, and i hope your well. I remember that story of Major Meek's very well, what a joker, still made me glad that i wasn't a boarder, so as to avoid a repeat incident of the Brass Rubbings Dance, very scary!!

when i was in 6th form major meeke brought in a group of youngsters, including my sister i think, to spin them that yarn about the murder. he drew their attention to a blood stain on the carpet which in fact was less than 24 hours old and wasn't even blood - andrew midgeley had spilt a whole pot of Quink on the floor!! i don't think any of his stories were real - except the one where he spotted those brass rubbings doing some weird dance on the dining room table in the middle of the night when he was nipping down to the pool for a quick swim!!

I hold Major Meek completely responsible for any nonsense stories about ravenswood, although the place would not be the same without them. The blood stains where apparently from the murder of the original owners daughter Elisia who fell in love with one of the stable boys, her father had forbid them to see each other and one day found them together in the maids quarters which later was to become one of the girls dorms 'Fair Maids of Perth'. The story that i know of said that she was then killed by her father in the 6th form and Tom the stable boy was killed in the maids quarters, and if you were to listen late late a night you could hear them calling to each other. (Thats what i was told anyway).


And as for the safe that was just a cupboard in the 6th form that was disguised and no one knew that it opened.
