In a sleepy country village in Suffolk England, the old house Willows Mill had been said to be haunted, over many years shadows had been seen. The house has been occupied by the Crompton Ward family since the 15th century, but it was not until the 21st century when Annabel Crompton Ward lived there alone, but often having her long-time friends Andrea Blake and Angela Maynard to stay that footsteps were heard on the stairs and an apparition appeared. It was then that her father Sir John, who spent most of his time in London, engaged a paranormal team to investigate, and their findings were a surprising and devastating.
