No one was there to make the sound. No one...alive.

But they were betrayed and Morganna caught the young men and despite Merlin’s protection, cast a spell upon them that would age them a year for every day they lived as men.

"It just has to seem like a haunted house," he said.

Mary floated across the room, shaking her hands in frustration. Finally, she turned back to Mike. “When will the men in my life realize that no one is responsible for watching over me?” she asked sadly. “I am a grown woman. I am a former police officer.
