What Is The Spooks About?

The premise of The Spooks without spoilers.

A young clerk is tasked with managing the affairs of a neglected city property—an old castle with a garden. The castle's tenants are a family of aristocratic spirits who have traditionally relied on scares and witchcraft. However, they are unaware of the concerns of ordinary people and resistant to change, making it challenging to resolve issues like unpaid rent, taxes, and neglected education. Correcting their situation proves to be a complicated and unexpected undertaking.
