#Sky castle episode 18 how to#

As the ghost of Aldebert vanishes after telling his story, Johan asks if there's any way they can help, and Papa Smurf says that only Sarah would know how to restore the springs, and she's been dead for a hundred years. Blaming him for causing the springs to dry up, the spirits of his ancestors cursed Adlebert after his death to haunt the castle as a ghost until the day that the seven fountains flow again. Because of this, the land around his castle dried up, causing the people of his estate to leave. He tells his visitors that the land of his once magnificent castle had seven fountains that during his lifetime, were dried up by the evil witch Sarah, whom he had once crossed. He starts fleeing from them, with a delighted Brainy in pursuit until the ghost disappears through a wall, causing the Smurf to hit his head.ДЇinally, Johan and Peewit together with the Smurfs discover the ghost is actually friendly, introducing himself as Adelbert de Baufort. The Smurfs soon see the ghost that is chasing their human friends, but when the ghost sees them, he becomes frightened having never seen Smurfs before. The ghost reappears throughout the castle in an attempt to intercept the two adventurers and communicate with them, but all he does is cause them to run in another direction. Peewit wonders what that's supposed to mean when a ghostly figure appears out of nowhere, causing the pair to flee the bell tower. Johan observes that the bell has rung twelve times, indicating the current time as 'the witching hour'. While the Smurfs head for the fireplace to dry themselves, Johan and Peewit bravely go to the bell tower to find out who's ringing the bell, only to find the bell ringing itself. Papa Smurf had expected the castle to be deserted, and Peewit is about to confirm that it is when he suddenly hears the bell ringing, frightening him. Trailed by a scared Peewit, the young knight goes into the hallway with his sword drawn, expecting to find trouble, only to see that it is the three Smurfs looking for shelter. Johan simply dismisses Peewit's comments until they both hear footsteps that waken them both up. Peewit can only conclude that the castle must have been deserted, and as he and Johan try to take their rest for the night, the jester also thinks that it must be haunted as he keeps waking up to strange sounds.

They enter into it, expecting food and shelter, only to find that there is nobody there and not even a bit of food for the hungry jester to eat. When they come to a fork in the road, wondering whether to turn left or right, Peewit sees a castle nearby. Meanwhile, Johan and Peewit are traveling down a road on their mounts, having lost their way thanks to Peewit's 'short cuts' as an annoyed Johan points out. Brainy sees a log that they can run into for cover from the rain, but after they enter Papa Smurf sees that the water level is rising, so they leave to find shelter on higher ground. Smurfette comments that the whole area could use a good rain, and no sooner does she say that, the clouds start to pour down rain. When he gets hurled by Smurfette due to his need to elaborate on the subject, he lands near a pond that has clearly been without water for a long time. Smurfette also points out that they still haven't found the wild forest pondsnort, to which Brainy replies in his usual know-it-all manner that one can't find pondsnort unless one finds a pond.

As Papa Smurf, Smurfette, and Brainy venture into the forest, Smurfette notes aloud that she has never seen this part of the forest being so dry before, an observation that Papa Smurf shares.
