About this book

The tidy yellow cottage of Daniel and Olive Teed becomes the scene of unexplained disturbances in Amherst, Nova Scotia. Walter Hubbell presents this account as a true ghost story centred on Olive's younger sister, Esther Cox. He describes the household and the village before turning to loud knocks, moving furniture and other alarming events that he links to Esther's presence. His introduction says that he spent six weeks in the house.

Domestic detail gives the reported phenomena a close, unsettling setting. In one bedroom scene, bed coverings repeatedly fly across a room, relatives struggle to hold them in place, and a doubtful doctor agrees to investigate. Hubbell's confident supernatural explanation is part of the account's character.
