When Gillian and her family move into the old house on Harvest Street, it's too good to be true. The rent's dirt cheap, and it's right next door to the University she's going to be attending. With her recently widowed mother on board, there's a ready and willing babysitter for her five year old daughter Sarah. Who could ask for anything more? When Gillian's mother Maureen discovers a family connection to the house they see it as Providence. They're meant to live here! But then ... odd things start to happen. Sarah loves the swing in the backyard and her new friends--twin girls only she can see. The odd becomes foreboding when Nana Maureen can't sleep in her room. She's constantly woken up by creaking floors, nightmares of being strangled, and the smell of rotting flesh. The family has always been loving and close, but now the atmosphere between them is tense. Small disagreements explode into rage. What on earth is happening to them? They don't know about the evil that descended upon the house. How, almost a century ago, dashed dreams rose again into a rage-- a murderous rage. A rage that still breathes in the very walls of this home. This is how it began and how it will end. At Crawley House.
