In the house that they were to live there weren't anybody because people say that the house was haunted but to the Otis's family it doesn't mind.

In the house only there was the house keeper called Umney, she said to them that the house was haunted and that the people only stay there for a day there. In the library they saw a big stain, Umney was fainted but anybody in the family were afraid and they cleaned the stain, but the next night the stain of blood was there again, but the family continue without stay afraid.

The ghots decided to fright them in the night. That night MR Otis go out his bedroom and he gives to the ghost oil for his chains and the ghost felt very dissapointed.

One week later, the ghost tryed to fright the twins, but he didn't achieve, and the ghost start to stay angry because the people of the house joke of him, except Virginia.

Virginia went inside a room where the ghost were, he decided to ask for help to her, because he wanted to rest in peace because he was repentant for killed his wife, and she decided to help the ghost. He said to Virginia where a treasure stayed with a lot of jewels and money. She found it but the ghost was died, then they buried the ghost and Virginia keeped the treasure.At the final she got married with his engaged.

-PERSONAL OPINION: I don't like the book a lot. The book is not boring but I think that these kind of histories are not very original. The book is about mistery and it suppose that it causes afraid. I think that the book can be more interesting.
