Four "Creepy Chiller" Stars
Spooky Activity!
A taste of what lies within:
Harold Cameron along with his wife, Dorothy and their family move into a mansion that by all appearances seem normal, but it is anything but normal as not too long after they move in some odd happenings occur. Footsteps are heard throughout the house and outside, doors open on their own, the doorknob to the basement jiggles as if someone is trying to come up out of the basement, the family smells odd odors along with some other things that keep the family on edge.
Harold eventually hires a man named Enoch to help out around the place and learns from him that the mansion has been around since the 1800's - lots of bad things and disturbances happened there in the past.
Harold and his family do not leave though with everything that happens as they just endure it all as they have no other place to go and they end up staying there for almost two years with all the activity.
Though the only thing that really spooked Harold was when he received an unwanted visitor one night as a woman appeared out in his front yard telling him that she had been kidnapped and had escaped the clutches of a couple of men that had her tied up down the road next to an old farmhouse. When he let the woman call a cab as she insisted that she needed to call one and the cab picked her up, Harold just felt that something wasn't right. He came to find out that the woman might have been a ghost as things did not add up with her being kidnapped. Some other things were just off that gave the family a few wonderings of what was really going on in the mansion.
Thoughts:
This story was not overly scary but there were quite a few spook moments of the family living in the mansion. The family had signed a lease to stay in the house for a couple of years so it would have been hard on them to break the lease and go somewhere else so they just endured all the paranormal activity that came with the mansion hoping to try and figure out themselves what was causing all the activity.
The book was kind of fast paced and eventually the story delves more into the past of why the mansion was haunted with it being very informative and interesting. All in all the story took me into the creepy zone with some of the activity that was happening with the haunting!
