{{rename|[[User:RogerAckroydLives|RogerAckroydLives]] suggests that the title should be '''The Haunting (audio story)''' because ''Jago & Litefoot & Strax'' is simply the modified range name, and the name ''The Haunting'' appears on all final versions of the cover.

Together, they are on the trail of a creature that is stealing brains, which may or may not be linked to a haunted house in London...
