The Haunted Castle
Who: Yang and students who signed up/were told to come along
What: Touring a castle used in a battle against an Outland incursion in the 13th century!
Where: Jordan
When: June 21
Warning: Maybe spooky ghosts...
Being the resident history teacher, Yang has to teach the history of events that people have generally not recorded in the more popular histories. Things kept secret are hard to teach about. Thankfully, it can make for some fun field trips! In this case, it leads to a Crusader fortress from the early 1200's, called St. Germain-Luc, which was the site of a major battle against a daemon incursion in 1203 CE.
Which is why Yang booked a plane to the region, and is now leading a tour-slash-archaeological dig.
The students are turned loose to explore ancient, winding halls and battlements -- along with the outside, where both the desert and the castle walls have black burn marks that look suspicious. There are also long-forgotten tunnels, which have some ancient wooden furniture. Unfortunately, the castle has some mostly harmless poltergeists... which occasionally hurl a rock, a piece of furniture, or something else.
The students have about five hours to explore, before the bus leaves for the city.
