The Ghost of Faffner Hall is a British/American children's television series from Jim Henson Productions and the British ITV company Tyne Tees Television which aired from August 16, 1989 to November 11, 1989 in the UK, and slightly later in the US. The puppets for this show were created by Jim Henson's Creature Shop, and the series was recorded at the Tyne Tees Studios in Newcastle upon Tyne and directed by Tony Kysh, then senior director within that company's children's department.
An interesting, educational show that encourages children to appreciate different musical styles through the insights and antics of the harmonious haunts of an enchanted Music Conservatory and their musical guests.
