Tilda objects since "Ever'one knows Middlewych is full of witches!" Sure enough, a Psychical Fair opens the next day in Middlewych, hosted by Mrs. Crumble of England's Society For The Study of Spectral Sightings & Ghostly Apparitions. When Mr. Sheridan makes the grim discovery of a village lass dead upon the grounds, the authorities rush to judgment and charge the handsome stranger with the crime!

"Marilyn Clay has produced another winner!  Rife with unexpected twists and turns, this paranormal murder mystery featuring ghosts, a frightening séance, evil curses and spectral apparitions is sure to please!
