Clio thought her babysitting gig at the old Victorian mansion would be easy, until eerie events unfold—doors slam, objects move, and ghostly messages appear. With her friends Tanya, Maggie, and Rebecca, Clio must unravel the mansion's dark secrets. Will they solve the mystery before it's too late, or will the supernatural claim another victim? Dive into this spine-chilling adventure where friendship and courage are tested against the unknown.
