Matilda lives in an old castle and helps the owner by scaring the tourists who come to visit. However the owner has to sell and, since Matilda doesn’t want to leave her home, she drifts around, as a block of flats go up where the castle used to be. She moves into the flats but her haunting doesnt work! Poor Matilda feels quite lost until she meets a teenager called Ted. Ted listens to her story and they set out together to find Matilda a new home.
