When Ellie and her family move into Inchwood Manor, Ellie quickly discovers strange things are happening. Who is the mysterious boy at the window? What secrets lie within the abandoned nursery?

Quotations
Even for a ghost, you do a lot of moaning.
Why should I have to go, after all this time?
He'll be gone from here before another night has passed.
Oh, don't worry about me.  You still have your life...enjoy it.  I'm just part of history...I died a long time ago.
