Is there really a ghost haunting Mukibi's Educational Institute for the Sons of African Gentlemen? Moses, his friend King Kong, and the rest of the gang in Dormitory 3 don't believe in ghosts. That is, they are pretty sure they don't. But then who, or what, is the weird white figure flitting about the school compound at night? Where did the mysterious bloodstains come from? And who was responsible for the sinister laughter outside Miss Namukasa's door?

The deputy headmaster, Mr Karanja, believes he has the answer to all these questions: it's Dorm 3 trying to be funny. So HM and KK, together with Rukia, Itchy Fingers and the rest, set out to grab the ghost before it gets them all expelled.

This is the sixth of Moses' witty chronicles of life in Uganda's most awful school.
