Transcript

 * Michael Angelis: It was a moonlit night and Michael was working with Riff. The hard-working kid was taking some carts to a house by the lake.
 * Riff: Whenever that owl hoots, a mist rolls in.
 * Michael Angelis: Murmured Riff.
 * Riff: There’s a legend that when the mist's about, there's a ghost about too. Take care on the old line, Michael.
 * Michael: Stupid bird!
 * Michael Angelis: Said Michael.
 * Michael: Owls, mists, ghosts. Riff's going soft in the head. There’s no mist.
 * Michael Angelis: But Michael was wrong.
 * Michael: What's that?
 * Michael Angelis: Cried Michael.
 * Toby: It's an amber light.
 * Michael Angelis: Murmured Toby.
 * Toby: That means, Proceed with caution. Who's there?
 * Michael Angelis: No one replied. Michael crept slowly forward. He stopped by a tree. It had a sign nailed to it: “BEWARE OF THE VIADUCT.” Toby was surprised.
 * Toby: No one warned us about that before, and look -- the light’s red! And the gates are closed. A-a-a-and there’s a fogman's coat. But where is his owner?
 * Michael Angelis: Then they saw a light moved within a house.
 * Michael: G-g-g-GHOSTS!
 * Michael Angelis: Exclaimed Michaell.
 * Michael: Riff was right!
 * Toby: Something very strange is happening.
 * Michael Angelis: Said Toby.
 * Toby: I think it’s best we go back.
 * Michael: So do I!
 * Michael Angelis: Agreed Michael. By morning, the mists have cleared. A workman was talking about the unsafe viaduct.
 * Workman: Lucky you didn’t cross it last night.
 * Toby: Yes, but we don’t know who warned us.
 * Michael Angelis: Replied Toby. Later that day, he spoke to Michael.
 * Toby: The viaduct has been repaired. We can take our load back along the old line tonight.
 * Michael Angelis: Michael didn’t really want to. But when nightfall came, he was sizzling nicely. Suddenly, an owl hooted, and then Carlos thundered by.
 * Cart: Oh look--Michael's spooked!
 * Michael Angelis: Said a Robot and the others giggled in their silly way.
 * (Robots laugh)
 * Michael: Be quiet!
 * Michael Angelis: Snapped Michael.
 * Michael: I’m not scared.
 * Michael Angelis: But he was. A little later, the fog came down. As they approached the same area, they saw the amber light again.
 * Toby: Here we go.
 * Michael Angelis: Said Toby. Then, unbeknownst to Michael, the gates mysteriously closed by themselves. And the signal went red. The Carts have seen all, and they were spooked.
 * Carts: Faster! Faster! There’s a ghost about.
 * Michael: Stop! Stop!
 * Michael Angelis: Yelled Michael. A mysterious figure watched Michael go by. Ahead was a landslide blocking the road. Michael tried to stop hard, but the carts hit some of the rubble and plunged over the ravine. Just then, Toby saw a strange sight coming towards them.
 * Toby: What’s that?
 * Michael Angelis: He said. Then he laughed.
 * Toby: That’s our ghost -- it’s OJ, the harbor tug!
 * Michael Angelis: OJ was very cross.
 * OJ: I tried to warn you about the viaduct. Why didn’t you pay attention?
 * Toby: We’re sorry we ignored your warnings.
 * Michael Angelis: Replied Toby.
 * Toby: Is there anything we can do to thank you?
 * OJ: I’d like to operate that old house. If you let me, I promise I won’t spook Michael.
 * Michael Angelis: And in a little while, OJ’s wish was granted.
 * Thomas: You and your house will be really useful.
 * Michael Angelis: Said Thomas.
 * Thomas: Let’s hear a hearty thank you to the friendliest, uh, ghost in Bigg City Port.
 * Michael Angelis: Everyone cheered. Especially Michael, who was the happiest of all.
