When the Wakefield kids are invited to their aunt Helen's country inn, Steven and Jessica are determined to use the eerie old mansion to scare their sister, Elizabeth, into believing in ghosts. But no matter what Steven and Jessica do, logical Elizabeth always figures out their tricks.
Then things start happening that even Elizabeth can't explain, and all the Wakefield kids are afraid that the inn really is haunted. Will they make it through the summer sharing their vacation with an unfriendly ghost?

HAUNTED HOUSE

Aunt Helen turned another sharp corner and jerked the old car to a stop in front of the huge, old inn. "So," she prompted, "what do you think?"
No one said a word. Before them in the dim twilight sat a large, ramshackle building. The yard was overgrown with weeds and bushes, and the porch was sagging in the middle. Shutters hung at odd angles, and the paint was peeling.
But Elizabeth didn't dwell on any of those things. Her eyes were drawn to the bell tower at the very top of the inn. The black bell hung motionless, vividly outlined against the deep red sky.
Aunt Helen chuckled. "There are some wonderful stories about this inn," she said. "Why, some people even say that the place is ahunted!"
"Haunted!" Jessica repeated nervously, while Elizabeth stood silent, her eyes fixed on the creepy bell tower.
