Looking for a specific Uncle Scrooge story 0

[Black Lantern]

Hi, not sure if this was a Golden Age story, but a friend asked me if I could help him search for an Uncle Scrooge story he remembers reading as a kid. In that story a Ghost steals all the money of Scrooge and builds an underground castle or something similar. Does that ring any bells? Any help is very appreciated! Thanks!

The Old Castle's Secret?

Sounds like the Phantom of Notre Duck.

OK but your question reminded me of the Uncle Scrooge story "Land Beneath the Ground".  Scooge's fortune was lost through a crack in the bottom of his money bin caused by an earthquake.  Creatures undergound were causing the earthquakes for a sporting competition like the Olympics.  Story and art was by Barks and it first appeared in US 13.

The story was reprinted many times and worth finding even if it isn't the one your friend remembered.
