OMG! I was dusting some of my Lego display shelves today and realized that I don't have this set. I really thought I did, but I was confused with http://guide.lugnet.com/set/1596
How bembarrassing. Off to Bricklink/Ebay to compare prices!

I loved this set as a child. It gave me my first swivel visor, the dragon plume attachments, the breastplate, oblong shield, and of course the glow in the dark ghost. All for a small price really, and while I only had one of this set I could see where people would want to load up on it to get a small army of knights.

Re: Weekly Set Review: Black Monarch's Ghost
A great little set that any castle fan would like. Its just a perfect all round set that can be made into an MOC but it loks great anyway. definetly 9/10.

I remember getting this set when I was little... I loved it!! The ghost was awesome, and I think this knight ended up being one of my favorites. I think it was my first bird as well. Also, I think this small set made a good companion set to 6059 Knight's Stronghold (which I got at some point as well), since that set didn't have a Black Knights knight, just three Black Knights soldiers to defend the wall against the Black Falcons (who did have a knight in that set).
Re: Weekly Set Review: Black Monarch's Ghost
Not much to say about it, nice horse, nice knight with euro-armour and visor helmet, wall corner panels, and little rounded-top doors and arch, a blackbird, and a glow in the dark ghost (wich I didn't get).
All-in all, nice for parts but barely poor as stand-alone set.
Oh, and two squires with each one flag of different color, very nice too.

Re: Weekly Set Review: Black Monarch's Ghost
This was my very first Castle set as a kid, I was mostly into Space Lego in my earlier childhood. So this set has a high nostalgic value for me, and I love it!
