My family had moved into an old castle and had been living there for a while. The grounds also included a graveyard, a library and gardens and in the back there was a forest. I'd befriended some ghosts that haunted it and was having a picnic with them when this guy showed up introducing himself as having recently moved nearby. He seemed nice but like he was hiding something. I showed him around the castle a bit since he was interested in it and then as I was showing him out my parents were at the entrance talking to a hallmark-movie-villain-esque woman who seemed to be questioning our rights to the castle. She wanted to speak to the "owner", Robert Salt. My father explained that we had recently inherited the castle from a relative and she seemed suspicious, and then glared at the neighbor guy who jovially introduced himself as Robin something... I forget. She seemed really suspicious of this guy. The name Robert Salt seemed familiar to me and I ended up researching him in the library. Apparently he was the original owner of the castle centuries ago, a famous magician, and he'd included lots of secret passages and stuff in the castle. I ended up finding some of them and finding an old study with some old books and stuff and a portrait of Robert Salt who I realized was Robin and that he was still around somehow, probably having actual magic.
