I read it in the early 80s and it was about a boy who discovered some ghosts in a castle. However, the castle was being demolished or moved or something and the ghosts had to move so he helped them. I'm sure there was a headless horseman as one of the ghosts. I know I'm being terribly vague, but I'm hoping that someone out there has a better memory than me!

I think it was fairly contemporary to the 80s and that there were baddies who were American...
But I do remember the Green Knowe series - it used to really give me the creeps, although they were very well written!

Well there were some children's books about green know that may have had something to do with this
as i remember a boy turns up at this castle and i think the baddies want to buy the castle and i think there were ghosts.
The other one i remember is a tv with accompanying book series called Look and Read that had a story about a castle and ghosts and baddies etc/

Because they ARE grasping at straws, IMO. Not that Obama is all-wise, or politically perfect. He's really not. But the GOP has NOTHING good to offer the majority of Americans, and their strongest political base, among bitter old white men who yearn for the "good old days" of open racial & religious discrimination in the past, is getting older & older, and gradually dying out. This once-sensible political party has painted itself into a corner by trying to tap into racism, religious intolerance, and hatred for gay people and the unemployed, as a way of persuading white middle class voters to support the economic schemes of the richest 1% percent. They have nothing positive to say for the Republican way of life anymore, and so naturally they attack Obama at every chance they get. Apparently they think that if they attack Democrats often enough & loudly enough, we'll all forget the emptiness & unfairness of basic GOP principles.

It's not the one you're looking for I'm fairly sure (unless you live in a time warp - it was published in 93), but you might be interested in reading Susan Cooper's Boggart series - it deals with spirits moving out of castles, being befriended by children, has a Transatlantic feel to it. They're good reads, at any rate, and might be a piece to help you find your way to the book you're thinking of.

Wow, this rings some dim and distant bells with me... I really have the feeling that I read this, but like you, I just wish I knew what it was called!
