Go to the Children

Ravensbreath Sitemap

to a young American family not so long ago and when it was over they desperately needed something to bring meaning back into their shattered lives.

Only a couple weeks earlier a letter arrived stating the family had inherited an old castle on an island off the coast of Cornwall. At the time of the reading to even consider moving there was absurd but now all was changed so they resolved to go.

Scraping together their last pennies they embarked on a strange journey that brought them to the bottom of England and out to sea. Upon arriving on the island they found Ravensbreath Castle was everything they hoped it would NOT be and more - dark, desolate and crumbling into the wild Cornish sea, but due to countless reasons the little family stayed.

The family was faced with one challenge after another and it wasn't long before they found they were not alone in the castle. Many unseen forces were at work, the most prevalent being the presence of a group of ghost children, orphans they were, who had somehow become trapped in a time warp between the world of the living and those who had moved on.

The first orphan the family encountered was Annabel Lee, a girl of 11 who considered herself head of the clan of spirit children. She was not a nice little girl, pushy and brash and possessing powers that kept the other children in check and in fear. The only one safe from the tricks and bad temper of Annabel was her aloof little brother Percy.

to continue to pen this ghost story as more is revealed for I find it most intriguing.

I've learned that is playing a last cruel trick on the children for they are deteriorating swiftly, growing more tattered (even more so thanks to Annabel Lee's creepy habit of singeing everyone's clothes). The children are fading away into nothingness - which is symbolised by their crude wire joints - and apparently unless they find a way to escape their castle prison and join those in the hereafter, the very fact they existed at all will be extinguished faster than their last heartbeat and breath.

Since 1975 I've been creating and selling one-of-a-kind seriously fun miniatures, jewellery and dolls under the name of Originals by LE in America and internationally.

ince I was born I've had a mind for the weird and bizarre, but in a fanciful way, which is why Tim Burton's work appeals to me and why I was destined to create the ghost orphans and their story. Burton's work is similar to my own or mine is to his - or his is to mine - hey I'm older - but he's richer - whatever...

I started the Ghost Orphans part of story with these two children and will keep it this way
for now but please visit the other children's rooms to read a little more about their story. But again, much could change as the story develops. Thank you for reading. MLA

is a beautiful and bright little girl of eleven but as previously stated, quite unpleasant and mean, even in death. She, along with the other orphan ghost children haunt Ravensbreath Castle.
