His physical strength continues to develop, until one day, he unwittingly commits murder. He doesn't mean to-he just needs his mother's screaming to stop.More than a century later, Amber's family moves into the Edwards's old home. Immediately, disturbing things occur. When Amber's son begins to draw mindlessly on the walls and his eyes go blank, Amber fears someone's spirit is hovering. Someone tortured and suffering unbearable grief.

She came in the night...Her grisly, inexplicable acts of murder thrust Faulkner House into heinous fame. More than a century later, residents refuse to inhabit the place, claiming evil lurks within.

The only place she can afford is Faulkner House. Against vehement warnings and icy outcries, she moves in. She's not there twenty-four hours before the horrifying haunting begins. Blood runs, things shatter, items disappear, doors refuse to open... Fannie tries to explain it all away. And then, a frantic hope surges through her. If there truly are ghosts and spirits, why can't she make contact with her dead husband? Fannie's desperation forces her into a show-down with seemingly no way to win. She has grossly underestimated the evil forces fighting her. Is her only way out death?3. The Haunting of Bennet HousePrenna Johnson chases after haunted sightings with pure delight.

That in the 1800's, a famous painter living in Bennet House murdered his children's governess. But nothing was proven. So, it's just a rumor. Only it isn't.The murdered governess hasn't rested for over a century. She decides that Prenna is the human who will provide vengeance. What starts out as an eerie investigation, quickly goes wrong. When the governess takes over Prenna's body, all control is lost. Prenna is at the mercy of a murdered woman who wants nothing more than her bitter revenge.4. The Haunting of Slater HouseLeeches-masses of them. Slithering around in jars, just waiting for Doctor Mason's use. The good doctor uses them to treat everything from headaches to consumption. He also "purifies" his own body by placing the creatures regularly all over his own chest to suck out any bad blood. Which causes no problems, until he attaches them to four weak, sickly children. Centuries later, Pamela Sharp leads a group of students to Slater House for research. When leeches squirm under the cheese on their pizza, when blotches of blood appear and disappear on their bedroom rugs, when one of the students takes on a ghastly glow, Pamela knows that something is horrendously wrong. When the truth is revealed, she wonders if any of them will survive...
