The riddle for October 9 is:

Once upon a midnight cleary,
while I pondered, weak and weary,
Over many a quaint and curious question
of this Mansion's lore
While I nodded, nearly napping,
suddenly a weird kidnapping
Now I only hear a snapping,
snapping where they sat before
"Tis some visitor," I muttered,
"Snapping that I can't ignore
Only this and nothing more."

Ah, distinctly I remember
it was in the bleak December
And each separate dying ember
wrought its ghost upon the floor
Eagerly I wished my brothers -
were still here and not the others
And I scarcely more than muttered,
"There were five of us before!"
Find me perched, I still am perching,
but where am I, I implore?
Merely this and nothing more.

Hmmm, I'm sure it's the raven (guessing from the poems style and clues).

The bat doll replaces where he usually sits... They must've moved him!

Oh, I *knew* this was going to be one of the questions. There is only one raven left in the mansion - he's sitting on a rail behind the spider tree in the ballroom section.
