Richard Dickson


 * You notice that in the corner there is a humanoid figure hanging from a rope.

History
Richard Dickson was a resident of Gunnacarkit who had at least one sibling. In his teen years, he was an employee at Solomon Brumby's Bakery.

He met his death by a broken neck due to hanging in a back room of the bakery, but because of the unfinished business of the money owed to his relatives he remained trapped as a ghost. Solomon Brumby hid his body in the basement. He was remembered by his family, who at times placed flowers at the gates of the closed bakery.

Characteristics
Richard was a teenage boy with facial acne so severe that it was all but disfiguring. He is grateful to be called by his real name again.

Charlotte mentions that she is placing flowers outside Solomon Brumby's Bakery in memory of her great-uncle Richard Dickson.

Episode 13: Spookaroo Special, The Haunted Bakery Part 2
Richard's skeletal remains are among those found in the basement, with his skeleton having a broken neck.

His ghost is found in the form of a hanged figure in the back room of the bakery. The ghost does not react to the entrance of Gadai, McKenzie and Plank, not speaking and not moving until McKenzie pokes him with a quarterstaff so that he turns to face them.

When Gadai uses the name Richard Dickson, he replies "Nobody's called me that in years", and he says farewell as Gadai leaves.
