No pet can recall who once lived - or still lives - within the manor. Pets regularly dare each other to visit the manor, almost becoming a right of passage to enter alone. Those pets who are brave enough return with stories of being followed, seeing shadows, and pawfalls they couldn't find.

These two may seem like a pair you don't want to encounter in the dark - but the truth is they aren't as threatening as they seem. This pair just happen to have soft blue eyes which appear red whenever a flash is used. The playful duo enjoy pranking other pets with their "red eyes".

As you hike through the woods, a path opens up, calling you to explore. The further you travel, the darker the trees grow, the dimmer the sky above grows. The trees begin to loom over you, hiding the sky above as a mist rolls through. A growing sense of gloom and unease comes over you, urging you to retreat. Turning, you find the path lost in the dark.

Any forest can be disorienting if you're unfamiliar with the area, but this forest puts even the most experienced forest guide to the test. As the sun sets, the gatherings of trees seem to mirror each other, creating a never-ending maze.

The perfect moon to trick or treat under. Let it light your quest whatever may come.

There is one night a year when things may not be as they have been, the air shifts, the light dims, and what you only saw out of the corner of your eye suddenly takes on a more solid form, and you are unsure of where you are and how you got there.

This mysterious castle has sprung out of the darkness on Halloween night, or maybe you were transported to wherever this forgotten castle sits. Your mind is hazy, and your feet move of their own accord toward the front door.

You may check in of your own free will but will you ever leave?

The raven corvus corax is rich in symbolism in many cultures. As an eater of carrion, it often symbolises battle, destruction and death in art, folklore and literature. However, being a highly intelligent creature, the raven also stands for wisdom, the afterlife, magic and longevity. The bird is also considered an excellent teacher and guide. In some cultural depictions, the raven is a psychopomp, meaning it acts as a guide between the newly deceased and the afterlife.

As a gentle breeze chases out the last of the sunlight and warmth, the lanterns begin to show, heralding the evening’s arrival, in their deepening orange glow. And ‘tis by this gentle light that nocturnal pets go about their business, and trick ‘n’ treaters wander, whispering to the wind…

Oooh, look at that spooky purple forest! Some pet dared me to go in there and I took the challenge. Oh what was I thinking?! I get the heebie-jeebies just looking at all those creepy looking trees and those glowy eyes! I wonder what is hiding in there waiting for me to walk by and scare me. I'm not going in there alone! You have to come in with me! 1, 2, 3... ready, set, GO! Whatever you do, don't trip on anything and fall down. I'm sure something will try to eat us if that happens! Wait, what's that sound? *Ackh, ackh.* Is there something out there? Never mind, just keep walking. *Swoosh* Oh no, what was that?? We'd better hurry up and quickly get out of here! Wait... which way is the way out? Help!!... I'm scared!! *Ackh, Ackh." There's that sound again! *Swoosh* Get away from me!!! Nooooooo........

Your pet will need to wrap up warmly and perhaps don snowshoes for this part of the quest! The journey starts in beautiful snowy scenes where some quite rare animals and birds are waiting to welcome your pet to their wintry world. The quest continues to cliffs, then rocky and sandy seashores and culminates in your pet sailing on the sea to view the watery world and its inhabitants! The octopus has promised to put in an appearance, and the shark has been practising his fiercest, most glary expression, but that’s to conceal his heart of gold and cuddly disposition! Bon voyage!

Eeeek! What a perfectly eerie scene for Halloween! One can only imagine what this little monkey has seen, to make him so afraid? What a shame, when the Autumn colours all around him are so warm and inviting!

Whose idea was it to go walking in this spooky graveyard? What is lurking in those shadows? I think I see some glowing eyes! Shhh.. I heard something! Was that you making those growling noises? I hope that is your hand on my shoulder... Eeeeeeeeek!!

The Pets’ Teacher is not impressed! She has returned to her classroom to find her artistic little Teacher’s Pets have been very busy, rubbing the task she had set them off the chalkboard and drawing a castle scene using her finest white limestone chalk! Thinking to match the punishment to the crime, the Pets’ Teacher tasks the Teacher’s Pets with writing a story about their castle scene. What type of story do you think most of the Teacher’s Pets wrote?

Heaven’s draperies shimmer across the night sky, dancing in undulating arcs of colour and light. What causes these celestial spectacles? When the sun explodes in massive flares, solar winds travel towards the earth and electrically charge gases in the earth’s atmosphere. Green auroras, the most commonly seen, occur when oxygen particles close to the earth are ignited. Isn’t it amazing that solar winds, like a panoramic travelling circus, make regular visits to the earth to dazzle sky watchers with such stunning beauty?
