AbstractHistoryArchive Description

An 'idle' young nephew is ensconced in the formerly closed up wing of his doting aunt's house - and has a dream/vision of a negro attempting to kill him in the very same room where an ancestor had been murdered. He persuades his aunts to pull the wing down and in the process discovers a secret passage, a skeleton and £40 000 in gold. Very common sense ghost tale - well told. (PB)
