05x11 - Haunted Henry

[bunniefuu]

(orchestral music)

(upbeat music)

- [Alec] It was a moonlit night.

Henry was taking a goods train

to the station by the lake.

(ominous music)

(owl hooting)

"Whenever that owl

hoots, a mist rolls in,"

murmured Edward.

"There's a legend that

when the mist's about,

"there's a ghost about too.

"Take care on the

old line, Henry."

(owl hooting)

"Stupid bird," said Henry.

"Owls, mists, ghosts.

"Edward's going

soft in the boiler.

"There's no mist."

(dramatic orchestral music)

But Henry was wrong.

"What's that?" cried Henry.

"It's an amber lamp,"

murmured his driver.

"That means proceed

with caution."

"Who's there?"

No one replied.

Henry crept slowly forward.

He stopped by a tree.

It had a sign nailed to it:

"BEWARE OF THE VIADCUT."

The driver was surprised.

"No one warned us

about that before,

"and look, the signal's red

and the gates are closed!

"And there's a Fogman's coat,

but where is its owner?"

Then they saw a light move

within the station building.

"Ghosts!"

exclaimed Henry.

"Edward was right!"

"Something very

strange is happening,"

said his driver.

"I think it's best we go back."

"So do I," agreed Henry.

By morning, the

mist had cleared.

A workman was talking

about the unsafe viaduct.

"Lucky you didn't

cross it last night."

"Yes, but we don't

know who warned us,"

replied Henry's driver.

Later that day,

he spoke to Henry.

"The viaduct has been repaired.

We can take our train back

along the old line tonight."

Henry really didn't want to.

But when nightfall came,

he was sizzling nicely.

Suddenly, an owl hooted and

then Gordon thundered by.

"Oh, look... Henry's spooked!"

Said a freight car.

(trains chirping)

"Be quiet!"

Snapped Henry.

"I'm not scared!"

But he was.

A little later,

the fog came down.

As they approached

the same area,

they saw the amber light again.

"Here we go," said

Henry's driver.

(dramatic orchestral music)

Then, unknown to Henry,

the gates mysteriously

closed by themselves

and the signal went red.

The freight cars had

seen everything and

they were spooked.

"Faster, faster!

there's a ghost about!"

"Stop! stop!"

Yelled Henry.

(gate crashing)

A mysterious figure

watched Henry go by.

Ahead was a landslide

blocking the line.

Henry braked hard,

but the freight cars

hit some of the rubble

and plunged into the ravine.

(rocks crashing)

Just then, Henry's driver

saw a strange sight

coming towards them.

"What's that?"

He said.

The fireman laughed,

"that's our ghost!

"It's Old Bailey, the Fogman."

Old Bailey was very cross.

"I tried to warn you

about the viaduct,

why didn't you pay attention?"

"We're sorry,"

replied the driver.

"Is there anything we

can do to thank you?"

"I'd like to operate

that old station."

"If you'll let me, i promise

i won't spook Henry again."

And in a little while, Old

Bailey's wish was granted.

"You and your station

will be really useful,"

said Sir Topham Hatt.

"Let's hear a hearty thank you

to the friendliest

'ghost' on the island!"

Everyone cheered,

especially Henry,

who was the happiest of all.
