Synopsis
Not many people can see the dead, but Johnny Maxwell can, and he has bad news for the residents of Blackbury's old cemetery: the council plans to sell it as a building site. The dead are not about to go quietly, and as they discover that afterlife can be far more fun than life ever was, especially when they break a few rules, Johnny and his friends try to save their home and its history.
