Who: Here?s who you'll meet at Blackmoor Manor

Nigel Mookerjee
A historian currently researching and cataloguing the Blackmoor Manor library. Nigel is interested in writing a history of the Penvellyn family. Could he be the one who can help find the key to unlocking the past? But what?s really behind his keen interest in the manor and its quirky inhabitants?

Ethel Bosinny
Ethel is Jane's tutor and comes from a long line of tutors to the Penvellyn Clan. She is very mysterious; her oh-so-charming demeanor has an edge that hints at something deeper. Is there something painful in her past, or is she hiding a secret that could help you to unravel the rash of unsettling events at Blackmoor Manor?
Mrs. Drake
Great Aunt to Jane and housekeeper of Blackmoor Manor. She puts up a no nonsense attitude and is truly confounded and frustrated with the recent spate of events. Outwardly she ?pooh poohs? the issue of curses and witches, but she is superstitious herself.

Linda Penvellyn
Linda recently married Hugh Penvellyn and recently moved from America to Blackmoor Manor, his ancestral home. She now refuses to let anyone see her face ? even Nancy. She says there are some doors that should never be opened. Do you dare?

Loulou
Friend or foe? Loulou is a very extroverted parrot and seems to possess an abundance of knowledge. She loves to talk ? she is a parrot after all -- and she speaks in words and phrases that are very sophisticated for a family pet. How many treats would convince Loulou to continue squawking?
