The boys quickly made their way to the well. Once there they climbed over the side and went down. They turned their torches on and hurriedly made their way along the tunnel.

By the time they made it to the other side it was five minutes to twelve.

They stepped out of the tunnel on to the platform and looked around. The boys then slipped quietly behind a low, crumbling, brick wall that was nearby. They then waited.

Suddenly they heard voices.

"Come on, come on! It's nearly midnight"

"Yeah – everyone ready?"

Julian and Dick looked carefully over the top of the wall. To their surprise they saw four men and a woman standing near an old, over turned train carriage. In front of the people were a couple of boxes.

Two of the men picked up the boxes and took some things out. Julian and Dick glanced at each other and shrugged. They couldn't imagine why they would need them things.

The group looked at each other and nodded. Everything suddenly became clear. The boys watched and listened.

"All aboard!"

"Would you children be quiet!" The others laughed. "Get on the train!"

"Which train to London?"

"Oh no I missed the train! Guess I'll be late to work again."

A loud whistling noise could be heard.

"Come on children. On the train…come on! Come on…quickly now."

More sounds could be heard and their voices got slightly louder.

"Oh the next train isn't until 9.00!"

"Finally the train is here"

Odd noises that sounded slightly like trains were being made from the objects that they had took out the boxes and the group between them talked in turn using slightly different voices.

Everything went silent again. The group put the objects back in the boxes.

"That'll do for tonight" one of the man said in a low voice.

"I agree. As long as people hear it they will keep thinking it is haunted and stay away"

The group laughed before walking towards the only part of the main building in the train station that was still partly standing. They walked past the wall where Julian and Dick were hiding.

Just as they were going by, Dick dropped his torch. The group stopped and listened for a second. The boys held their breath. The group carried on past the wall. The boys sighed in relief and Dick picked up his torch.

As soon as the group were out of sight Julian and Dick crept quickly back to the tunnel. They went back through the tunnel and climbed back up the well and jumped over the side. As soon as they were both out the well Julian spoke.

"I guess it is them who have been hiding valuable items in the tunnel. They make it seem like the train station is haunted by using them objects and talking every night at midnight."

"Well it has certainly worked. No one goes near there."

The boys walked back to camp talking in low voices so as not to be heard by anyone. They got back and went in to their tent. Within minutes both boys were fast asleep.

Late the next morning the boys woke up, got dressed and sleepily stepped out their tent in to the bright sunlight. George and Anne smiled when they saw them. They were sitting outside their tent. The boys walked over to them and joined them. Timmy barked and licked them both. The boys laughed. Julian patted him on the head and then turned to face the girls. His face became serious.

"We saw something strange last night"

"Is it haunted?" Anne asked quietly. Julian smiled.

"No" he said simply before explaining last night's events.

They all talked for a while. Dick suddenly got up and disappeared in to the tent. The others watched him. A minute later he came out with food. The others grinned. Dick looked at them.

"What?" he questioned as he sat down and started sharing out the food.

After eating the five decided to go to the police station. The five walked in to the town and headed for the police station. Julian being the oldest went in first. He walked up to a small desk where a policeman was sat. The man glanced up.

"Can I help?"

"Yes" Julian replied before retelling the story. The policeman couldn't believe his ears. He informed some other policeman and it was soon decided that they would catch the group tonight. The five were disappointed to hear that they couldn't be part of it but they cheered up slightly when they heard they would be able to watch from a distance.

For now though nothing could be done. The five left the police station. They went over to the cafe and got some ice creams before heading back to the camp. As soon as they got back they changed and went to bathe in the stream at the far end of the field they were camping in.

"It is jolly hot today!" Dick exclaimed as he lay back on the grass near the stream. The others laughed and splashed water on him. Dick sat up in surprise.

The five spent the rest of the day by the stream. When it started to get cooler and the sun began to go down the five headed back to the camp.

They had something to eat and started the fire again. They sat around it talking. Soon it was dark.

Soon the police arrived and started guarding the well. Only the five knew they were there. The five went and hid behind a large bush near the well with a couple of policemen.

Time went really slowly but at last it was nearly midnight. Everything was silent until a sudden noise was heard. The five could just make out the dark shapes of some people coming. They watched as they jumped over the side of the well and listened to them climb down.

Next a couple of policemen followed to watch where they went and what they did. They would make sure they would easily be captured.

Midnight came. The town clock chimed in the distance. The voices and sounds could be heard. Soon they died down. The five sat excitedly waiting.

Meanwhile in the tunnel the police had seen the group. They watched as one of the men went up in to the hole in the roof. A minute later he dropped back down.

"No one will ever find them – soon we'll be able to gather it together and make our escape." They all laughed and in single file walked to the end of the tunnel.

They made the noises and then put the boxes in the building again the same as every night. The group then calmly walked over to the tunnel entrance and went in. The policemen made sure to stay out the way.

Outside the five could hear them coming down the tunnel. The police got ready.

As soon as the group had climbed out the well the police jumped out and grabbed them. One of the men managed to escape and ran. Timmy pulled away from George and ran after him.

Within seconds Timmy was standing over the man growling deeply. The couple of policemen who had been following the group came up and arrested the man. George pulled Timmy out the way and hugged him.

"Well done Tim! Good dog!" Timmy barked joyfully and licked George.

The men and woman were all took away by the police. One of the policemen came up to the five and thanked them. He patted Timmy on the head.

"Great dog you've got there".

Timmy wagged his tail happily and George grinned.

The five watched them go before going back to camp for the night.

"Tomorrow is our last day here" Julian said.

"What a way to end the holidays!" George grinned. Timmy barked in agreement. The others laughed. They talked for a bit as they walked along about what they would do the next day before going home. When they reached camp they sat by the fire and carried on talking. Soon Anne yawned and before long they were all yawning. They said goodnight and crawled in to their tents.

Another happy ending for the five!

Thanks for the review!

To zekesbabe

Thanks for the review! lol. What's wrong with a haunted train station? You are right – I do put that a lot...dunno why.

Thanks for the review! I guess it does move fairly quickly – Famous Five stories often seem to do that though. I was going to update sooner. Didn't mean to leave it for that long. Just never got round to writing it until now (I always knew my maths lesson would be good for something…maybe I should do maths though rather than write stories…nah stupid thought)

Please review :)
