This book actually is a good book. It tells a woman as a governess in a big house. She teaches two children, and one is a boy the another is a girl. It is a little terror about ghosts. Although i like this book, i do not suggest you to read it if you are scared about ghosts.
This book is very scary. It is story of ghosts, but When I read it, I think children are terrible. Because children are very pure.
Sometimes adult can't expect their action.
And children everytime want to dangerous adventures. they like risky things.
In this book, governess managed to fight against bad ghosts.
I hope adults to save children from danger.
Governess went to a big country house to teach two children. And there, she saw ghosts possess to the children. She tried to protect them from the ghosts.
This story lacks the reality. And I can’t feel anything but fear when I read it.
I didn't understand clearly this book.
But this book is interesting.
This book's main character was governess.
She was hard to save two children from two ghost.
At last this story had a terrible ending.
It's very sad but I could think many things about this story.
This is the horror story.I was afraid of ghosts which tyied to approach two children.And the last was shocking.
½
A woman got a job as a governess and started to live in an old house with two children and servants.
She was pleased that children she teach was beautiful and innocent at first,
but she noticed that dreadful man and woman -they are dead!- were looking for the children.
Then she tried to save the children...

This is a famouse horror film.
If you don't like such a story very much, I advise not to imagine well.
