Bookroo's summary

On a stormy night, Bridie and her siblings are captivated by tales of ghosts and pirates. When familiar footsteps echo, they believe their hospitalized neighbor, Poor Keye, has returned. But he's nowhere to be found. The next morning, a telegram delivers shocking news, leaving Bridie to unravel the mystery of the ghostly visitor. What secrets does the night hold?

From the publisher

Bridie and her brother and sister love to sit up late, listening to the adults trade stories. One stormy night the talk is not only about the price of fish, ghosts and pirates, but also about Poor Keye, a neighbor in hospital who had always loved these storied nights. A loud bang and the sound of his familiar shuffling footsteps suggests that perhaps he is home after all, and has come to join the gathering. But when Bridie’s mother goes to welcome him, Poor Keye is nowhere to be found. The next morning a telegram arrives with shocking news.
