==Plot==
A witch named Hazel comes to the Goodies office, commenting that one of them has ''the power'' and that she wants to hold a [[séance]] with them so that she can [[Conjuration (summoning)|conjure]] up spirits of humans instead of spirits of animals (which have been her only success). The Goodies think that she is a lunatic — but they decide to hold the séance she has requested, and to play tricks on her. During the séance with Hazel, Graeme unexpectedly becomes [[Spirit possession|possessed]] by an evil force.

Graeme starts a [[coven]], and Tim and Bill become worried about their public image, because Graeme is continuing to wear his "Goodies T-shirt". Looking around the coven area, Tim and Bill notice a sign with the words "''Virgins wanted''". Later, wanting to stop Graeme, they arrive, pretending to be the [[Human sacrifice|sacrificial virgins]] that Graeme has advertised for, and wearing long white dresses and long blonde wigs (Graeme complains about their appearance but decides to let them in anyway). Graeme, who has now changed his clothes, does some magic tricks and then, just as he is about to carry out the sacrifice of the two "virgins", Hazel arrives and casts a spell over him, and the evil spirit leaves Graeme's body — only to be replaced by that of a spirit of a very lively and active [[Gibbon]], which Tim and Bill find difficult to capture.

When Graeme is eventually captured, Hazel is able to get the gibbon spirit to leave his body and he returns to normal. Then, tearing the pages from her book of spells, Hazel states that she will never use magic again, but her words are short-lived.
