THE OLD HOUSE CREAKED AND GROANED. EVE SHIVERED AND PULLED her robe
a little closer around her. She’d told herself that in time she’d get used to
the place, grow accustomed to the ominous sounds and eerie, shifting
movements in the shadows, but she had lived in the home she had inherited
from her uncle for more than two months and the unsettling disturbances
had only grown worse.
She tried to tell herself it was just her imagination, the wind playing
tricks on her, the movement of the wood inside the walls of the hundredyear-old home. But the ghostly moans, whispers, and cruel laughter, the
sound of running footsteps in the hallway, were impossible to ignore.
At those times, the darkness came alive, the air in the room seemed to
thicken and pulse, and it took all her will just to make herself breathe.
Eve shivered as the howl of the wind outside increased, rattling the
shutters on the paned-glass windows, but no wind she had ever heard
sounded like angry words being whispered in the darkness.
Rising from the antique rocker in the living room, she moved the chair
closer to the fireplace, hoping to dispel the chill. The smokeless coal she
was required to burn wasn’t the same as a roaring blaze, but the glowing
embers somehow made her feel better.
A noise in the hall caught her attention and she went still. It was the
whispering she had heard before, like men speaking in low tones
somewhere just out of sight. Time and again, she had gone to see who was
there, but the hall was always empty.
Goose bumps crept over her skin. Today she had finally done something
about it. Setting aside her closed-mindedness, she had gone on the Internet
and googled information on ghosts, haunted houses, anything she could
think of that might give her some answers.
It didn’t take long to realize she wasn’t the only person who had trouble
with spirits or ghosts or whatever they turned out to be. Not everyone
believed in ghosts, but there were people out there who were convinced
they were real.
Eve had sent an email to a group in America called Paranormal
Investigations, Inc., a team of experts who traveled the world to research
problems like hers. Their website was discreet. No photos of the people
who worked there, no names, just a picture of the office in a redbrick
building near the waterfront in Seattle. At the bottom, the page simply read,
If you need help, we are here for you.
Interested, but not satisfied with the limited information provided, Eve
continued her research. The man who had started the company was a
billionaire in Seattle named Ransom King. King owned dozens of
extremely profitable corporations, including several hotel chains, one of
them the five-star King’s Inns, as well as high-rise buildings, and real-estate
developments around the country. He was a good-looking, broadshouldered man, tall, with blue eyes and wavy black hair
