The Higgledy-Piggledy Hostel Hooligans
Henrietta, Hamish, and Hattie—best mates way back in secondary school—found themselves reunited by happenstance twenty-odd years later inside their old hometown haunt, the Dog & Duck Pub. Time and distance had parted them after college, careers, kids and all of life’s hullabaloos got in the way. But their cheeky banter soon reignited over lagers and crisps.
They chuckled whilst reminiscing about their daft juvenile hijinks—like getting caught scrumping apples in old Mr. Bartleby’s orchard or “borrowing” their headteacher’s wig as a harmless prank. Their laughter brought back vivid memories—those uncontrolled cackles that made everyone else stare or tut disapprovingly.
Feeling nostalgic after many missed years, the trio spontaneously decided to relive their glory days with a holiday adventure! After some googling, they discovered the quirky “Higgledy-Piggledy Hostel” set inside a historic manor rumored to be haunted. More howling laughter ensued as they straightaway booked bunks.
Days later, dragging overstuffed luggage behind, they crept up the hostel’s creaky staircase. Eerie harpsichord notes echoed down the dark corridors as they hunted their room number. Sure enough, bizarre events commenced within the first hour! Strange smells wafted about, whilst toilets flushed on their own and unseen guests hammered on pipes—much to Hamish’s horror and the ladies’ hilarity.
