When fourteen-year-old Deborah Hill and her seven-year-old sister Olivia Hill are sent to stay with their stern Aunt Susan at the imposing Hill Manor, they expect an autumn of long days and strict rules. What they don't expect is the creeping dread that seeps through the walls of the house or the haunting presence of the town's dark history lurking just beneath the surface.  

As Debbie struggles to shield Livy from the mysteries of their new home, her sister grows increasingly attached to an "imaginary friend." But Livy's peculiar behavior and whispered secrets hint at something far more sinister-something tied to Hill Manor's past and a curse that refuses to be buried.  

With the help of a loyal friend and an unlikely ally, Debbie delves into a chilling tale of betrayal, revenge, and sacrifice. Time is running out, and as the truth unfolds, Debbie must confront her deepest fears to save her sister before it's too late.  

Hill Manor hides more than just family secrets. Some stories refuse to stay in the past.

In the remote village of Hollow Creek, nestled deep within the misty confines of an ancient forest, strange occurrences disturb the lives of its inhabitants. Legends say that the village is cursed, haunted by vengeful spirits bound to the land since the tragic events of a forgotten past. The story follows Lily Dawson, a young journalist with a knack for the supernatural, who arrives in Hollow Creek to investigate these eerie tales for her latest article. Upon her arrival, Lily is welcomed by the cold stares and cryptic warnings of the villagers. She dismisses their superstitions, driven by her ambition to uncover the truth. However, as night falls, she begins to hear chilling whispers echoing through the tree line outside her window, coaxing her to uncover secrets buried long ago. Determined to find the source of these whispers, Lily teams up with an enigmatic local historian, Ethan, who believes that unlocking the past is the only way to quell the unrest. Together, they delve into the village's history, uncovering stories of a massacre that took place centuries ago during a ritual gone wrong. Each revelation brings them closer to the heart of the curse and the spirits trapped within. Amidst mounting fear and escalating supernatural occurrences, Lily and Ethan realize they must perform a dangerous ritual to appease the spirits and lift the curse. As they race against time, they battle both the sinister forces of the supernatural and the skepticism of the villagers who are unwilling to confront their past. In a spine-chilling climax set during a storm-laden night, Lily must face the ultimate test of courage and faith, as the boundary between the living and the dead blurs, threatening to engulf the village in shadow forever. It's a harrowing tale of uncovering darkness, confronting fears, and the unrelenting whisper of unseen forces that haunt the haunted.
