Deedra Pope, a quiet, sensitive, bespectacled twelve year-old, wanted to be taken more seriously about what she saw and heard in and around the house her family had moved into three years ago. It was hard to convince them that a ghost crept into the house every night while they were all asleep. Mrs. Pope felt these ghost stories were just a figment of her daughter's vivid imagination, especially since she had a special gift for creating stories and writing poetry. Her father was always too tired to care, and her siblings didn't want to hear about such spooky things. After three years of a series of frightful events, Deedra was finally able t o persuade her family to become believers. In fact, they waited until it was almost too late. Only Deedra can tell the story the way it really unfolded...
