Five houses, haunted by shadows from the past.

Unsuspecting victims, battling with events that have no rational explanation.

A race against time to unravel dark secrets and confront vengeful spirits…

In these five stories of haunted houses and restless ghosts, everyday heroes dig deep to find the strength and courage to face the past, for the sake of a better future.

THE HAUNTING OF TRUSCOTT HOUSE

A house with a dark secret.

A grieving daughter determined to carry out her parents' last wishes.

A grandmother with something to hide…

Chloe Thomas brushes aside her grandmother's pleas that she stay away from Truscott House, and moves in with her friend Emily to finish the project her parents had begun before their death—the renovation of a property that had been in the family for a century. It isn't long before Chloe has to admit that something doesn't seem want them there—but who? Or what? And why?

THE HAUNTING OF ARMITAGE HOUSE

Little Isabella Burnside is fading away, and no matter how many specialists her mother takes her to, they can't pinpoint the problem. Her twin brother, Jack—once open and gregarious—can now barely communicate.

Isabella's father, desperate to help his children, calls in Lincoln Sweeney and his partner Katie Dyer, paranormal investigators.

Then Lincoln disappears, and his twin, Tara, knows immediately that something unspeakable has happened to him.

Where is Lincoln? Is he on this plane, or the next? Has a vengeful ghost condemned him to a fate worse than death?

THE HAUNTING OF WYATT HOUSE

Jodie Wyatt is missing.

Nick, her husband and a police detective, is convinced that her disappearance is payback from a criminal he's put away. His son Josh knows differently. He has always been able to see and hear those on the other side, and he is certain that a malevolent spirit inhabits Wyatt House.
