A ghost in scorched rags. Mysterious whispers. Appliances switching on by themselves. Strange sightings at the Sparkford Inn are the stuff of local legend—can ghost hunters prove the place is haunted?

Flickers of light dance within the fireplace of the Sparkford Inn’s dining room, the warmth overshadowed by rumors of ghosts lingering in the shadows. A team of paranormal investigators arrive one misty March evening to search for a giggling boy whom many guests have reportedly seen darting around the bar, across the dining room, and playing in the pool room. Witnesses have described him as about seven years old, dressed in scorched rags, and bearing burn marks—features that suggest he is no ordinary child. He is, they claim, a ghost.
