"Evers and Evers real estate, Sarah Evers speaking."

"Hello Sarah, sorry to bother you so late in the evening, but I was wondering if I can pick up the keys for the Manor".

"Who's this?"

"Sorry, Elizabeth Henshaw here. I bought the Gracey Mansion at the auction the other day."

"Ah, now I remember. I am not at the office now, but I can be there in 10 minutes if you want."

"You can take your time. I am still on the highway, and if I am lucky I can be there in 30 minutes."


25 Minutes later she parked her car in front of the Evers's office. She switched the engine off and waited a while before she got out of the car. When she finally did she was met by a young woman, who had opened the door with a smile.

"Hello Miss Henshaw. Nice to meet you. I'm Sarah Evers."

Elizabeth shook her hand. She liked this lady. "Elizabeth please".

Sarah ushered Elizabeth in and closed the door. "Do you want coffee, tea or something else?"

"Tea would be nice," said Elizabeth with a tired smile.

Sarah nodded and made some tea. She placed the teapot in front of Elizabeth and sat down.

"Sorry that I called so unexpected, but the family weekend didn't turn out as good as I thought."

"I'm sorry to hear that. May I asked what happened?"

Elizabeth nodded and told her the story.

Sarah was amazed when she heard the name George Ramsley. "That creep? What was he doing there?"

"My aunt wants us to marry, but I think he didn't like me. I am to black I think."

"There's no such thing."

"Oh yes there is. I saw it in his eyes. Nothing but hate."

"Oh dear." sighted Sarah.

"Don't worry. I will never marry a guy like that. I'd rather stay single the rest of my life."

Sarah laughed. "There will be someone out there for you."

"My first concern is the house."

"Have you seen it yet?"

Elizabeth shook her head. "It was the cheapest of the lot, so I went for it. Apparently it's haunted."

"The house is cursed. Your name is the same as the lady that got killed there. Maybe you were meant to buy it, to lift the curse."

Elizabeth looked at her. Then she laughed. "Me, lifting a curse? I can't even lift my own feet."

Sarah placed her coffee cup on the table. "No, no, listen. You met this George Ramsley you said."

"Yes, but what has he got to do with it?"

"The man who killed the lady in the house was called Ramsley aswell. No one heard or saw him ever since."

Now she had Elizabeth's attention. "You mean these two are connected?"

"I don't know, but there must be something. I see if I can find some information on it."

"Don't bother. I have read things online, but didn't made the connection untill you did."

Sarah nodded. "Are you sure you want to go there tonight?"

"Why not. I am not affraid of ghosts, and if I am honest I quite like the master of the house." She then showed Sarah the photo of the painting she found online.

"He's very handsome, I agree with you. But he is also dead."

"I know, but if his spirit roams around the house, I would love to meet him."

Sarah laughed. "The swamp is a dark and dangerous place at this time of the day. You can stay with us for the night if you want." She saw that Elizabeth hesitated. "I mean it. Stay with us and go in the morning."

"Alright then. I can use some sleep."

Sarah got up and took away the coffee cups. "Follow me then. We will be there in 10 munutes. But first I give you the keys."
