THE STORY:
Seeking to escape the demands of life in London, Pam Fitzgerald and her
brother, Roddy, an aspiring playwright, discover a charming house in the
west of England, overlooking the Irish Sea. The house, Cliff End, has long
been empty, and they are able to purchase it at a suspiciously low price
from crusty Commander Brooke, the village curmudgeon. The reason is soon
apparent: The house has an unsavory reputation. Fifteen years earlier a
murder may or may not have occurred by the gnarled tree that can be viewed
from the parlor window. Slowly the Fitzgeralds begin to sense the evil
spirit that still inhabits the house, announcing its presence with a
sudden, bone-chilling cold. Their housekeeper's cat will not enter the
nursery, where the sound of a weeping woman adds to the tense atmosphere,
and the scent of a flowery, exotic perfume called mimosa comes and goes.
The village doctor, the local gossip, and a former governess visit, with
strange stories of the beautiful Mary Meredith, who once lived in the house
and of the striking, unstable Carmel, who posed for a painting that led to
her destruction. With the help of Mary's daughter, Stella, a beautiful
young girl whose mysterious birth holds the key to the puzzle, and a seance
arranged by an actress friend of the Fitzgeralds, Cliff End is forced, at
last, to reveal its dark secrets. The action then builds steadily to a
truly terrifying climax, in which the ghost is discovered to be not only
real but dangerous.
