The Poisoned Lake and the Boatman


The lake was so poisonous that even a stray splash, let alone a drink, could be fatal. It was the ideal home for the evil undead in Kolyma. And as Graham approached it, there was a ghoul waiting in a boat.

He had a feeling the boatman wanted treasure for passage across the lake, but Graham had a better idea. He put on a ruby ring and a black cloak that Grandma had given him, disguising himself as the frightening owner of the castle. Fooled by the disguise, the boatman ferried Graham across the lake to its ominous island home!
