Ruth (Barbara Stanwyck) has inherited a Colonial period house from a distant cousin and she brings her niece, Sara (Kitty Winn), to live there with her. However, despite it being a beautiful home, it will lead to awfulness as the home is possessed by the long-dead and not always friendly inhabitants. Strange things start happening soon after they arrive and instead of getting out of the place or burning it to the ground, they stay with two new friends (Richard Egan and Michael Anderson Jr.) to try to piece together the pieces to a long-buried puzzle. And, hopefully, in doing so they'll finally allow these spirits to rest once and for all.
This film works for three reasons. First, like so many of the made for TV movies ABC made during that time, the mood was incredibly creepy and really worked to keep the audience in suspense. Second, the script was surprisingly good for a film made for TV...better than you would ever expect. And, third, the acting was so very good as well. Overall, a film well worth seeing...provided you can find it! And, fortunately, it is currently posted on YouTube.
