Nancy Drew 28: Ghost of Thornton Hall Hints

Behind the Barrels

  • 1 of 5: After you get into the passage behind the wine bottles in the cellar --
  • 2 of 5: -- and look at all the pictures on the camera --
  • 3 of 5: -- the barrels on the right side of the cellar (next to the bottles) will suddenly have a handle you can pull on.
  • 4 of 5: This passage leads to the upstairs hallway, next to Charlotte's bedroom. After you go up this way, the door apparently locks behind you, so it's only a one-way passage.
  • 5 of 5: What is the point, you ask? Well, you'll use this passage in connection with the fourth weird note.
