Book of the Day!• The Pendletons: The original

owner became a recluse and was rumored to be more mad after his wife and two kids were kidnapped in 1896 and never found. The 2nd owner suffered a worse tragedy in 1935, when his house manager murdered him, his family, and his staff.  For years, the Pendleton’s is a happy place, until a bad turn comes again. Voices in unknown languages are heard in deserted rooms,  disturbing shadows move along walls but have no source, images on security monitors show strange places that exist nowhere in the building or grounds, a young boy talks of an imaginary playmate - who turns out to be terrifyingly real. A figure like a man but clearly inhuman is glimpsed in the courtyard gardens at night... For more buy the book :)
