Admin Post: October Activity Post

[scfrankles]

For the activity this month we are looking at the ghosts that haunt 221 Baker Street. Who are they, which room do they haunt, and why?


For example:


The late Moriarty unfortunately discovered after his demise that the Almighty has a sense of humour. And so the former professor finds himself haunting one of 221B’s lumber rooms, as though actually filed away and forgotten. He spends his time directing his meagre psychic energy towards making up rude messages from words ripped from the stored newspapers. Holmes is oblivious but Moriarty suspects Mrs. Hudson may be aware of her extra lodger.


The sitting room of 221B is haunted by former owners of the house, Mr. and Mrs. Berkeley-Herring. They are both thrilled to be a part of Holmes and Watson’s life, and often can be found playing along with the deductions.


And finally in Watson’s bedroom… Well, there’s a waiting list for haunting that one. But it is currently being inhabited by a young housemaid who sadly succumbed to influenza and has decided to enliven the passing of eternity by taking up life drawing.

As always, you needn’t take part in this activity if you don’t wish to. Once you’re a member, you can post what and when you want—as long as you keep to the 500 words or less wordcount and the ACD Holmes ‘verse. AUs, crossovers and fusions are all permitted, as long as the characters remain essentially recognisable as the original ACD versions.

There are certain categories of innocents who have been treated unfairly by Holmes and the stories.
