Princess Monologue from The Ghost Breaker: A Melodramatic Farce in Four Acts

From The Ghost Breaker: A Melodramatic Farce in Four Acts by Paul Dickey

female · dramatic · 1:00 min

(Hesitating) I hardly know how to begin--it seems absurd in this broad daylight to talk of ghosts--but the fact is, my castle is haunted. (JARVIS: Spooks?) (Very seriously) Call it anything you like, but the castle is haunted, just the same. My grandfather was one of the wealthiest nobles in Spain. When he died my father went to take possession of his estate in Segura. He found the town full of weird stories of uncanny happenings--the castle was deserted, everyone had fled and all told of something in armor that stalked the halls at night. (JARVIS: O-o-o-o-o-o-o-h!) My father laughed at the silly natives and said he would go into the castle and show them how foolish their fears were. He went, and was never seen again.
