Belle should have listened to her aunt. She should have never have touched the antiques. "Its best to leave things as they are," Aunt Camille said. But Belle didn’t listen.
When Belle Pitney decides to leave London and stay with her great aunt Camille in a rambling old Edwardian house, she is delighted to find display cases filled with museum quality antiques, and rooms of period furniture. Yet Belle is bewildered by the built-up of dust in the house, and Camille’s adamant plea not to clean or move any ornaments but to leave things as they are. Even her aunts’ belongings have remained packed in boxes and stacked in the living room for the last twenty years. Just as disconcerting are Camille’s nightly wanderings that cause er to sleep much of the day in the living room recliner. As Belle’s interest in the house grows, and she defies Camille’s wishes, strange happenings occur and Belle becomes immersed in supernatural events. Ghastly paranormal visions become more intense and Belle finds herself waking in strange places, hearing strange noises and discovering talents and desires she didn’t know she possessed. Fearing for her niece’s sanity, Camille warns her once more to leave things alone. What role does her aunt play in the dreadful history of the house? Can Belle and her new friend Sam unlock the phantom’s shocking secret, or must Belle learn to live as Camille does, leaving everything as it was, trapped in a house of a bye-gone era, on threat of her own life?
