Haunted Mansion

When you give the locket back to the woman's ghost, she'll disappear. You'll then get another ghost - this time it's wailing downstairs! Wait for him to show up at the foyer...it's the Lord of the Manor! (He can also show up in other rooms, but the foyer seems to be the most common.) His tombstone will be on the west side of the house, and here is what his tombstone reads:

Lord Coningsby

1559 to 1626

Sleepeth here in peace:

an honorable man, a valiant soldier.

He served his country well.

Dig near this grave to find a Medal of Honor, and bring it back to Lord Coningsby's ghost. He'll disappear, then a young boy ghost shows up! Where are all these ghosts coming from?

The boy's ghost will run into the right-hand upstairs bedroom...and then climb up a ladder that wasn't even there before! Use the climb command, and you'll be in the attic, and the ghost will stay here this time. There's a chest there, but the boy is sitting on it. Use the climb command to climb back down, as you can die just from walking to the ladder and past it.

The boy's grave will be on the east side of the house. Here's what his tombstone says:

1546

Reader, here lies -- but forbear,

To read more without a tear,

One -- I cannot read the rest,

You may weep. I'll smite my breast,

Grief preventing, and this stone,

Too small to be written on.

Only this -- a little boy,

Willy -- in Abram's bosom's laid.

You'll find a toy horse near this grave when you dig at it. Give it back to the boy's ghost and he will disappear. This will be the last ghost puzzle you'll need to deal with thankfully. If you dig once more in the graveyard, you'll break the shovel. Thankfully, you won't need it anymore, and since you've dug in all the right spots, it won't be a problem!

Open the chest and look inside. You'll automatically take the sheet music in the chest. Go back to the organ in the tower and play the sheet music. Of course, this means you'll have to go up the spiral staircase and deal with the wonky controls on the second level once again. Use Up and Right on the arrow keys to get upstairs when the controls reverse.

When you play the sheet music (you have to actually type "play sheet music" for this), you'll open a secret drawer in the organ. Look inside to find a skeleton key. Take it.
