Jaime sat at Olivia’s kitchen table. Harper was across from her. She’d told them about the visit to the house, and that she had work to do. “I have to clear the house.”

“I guess Iris was ghost-friendly,” Olivia said. “It sounds like her. They probably kept her company when she was at home.”

“Yeah, that’s possible,” Jaime said. “But I’m going to tell them to move on. It’s my house now, and it’s a little too busy around there for my taste.”

“I’ll go with you,” Harper said. “It would be a good opportunity to practice my telepathy. Ghosts are good at that.”

“I’d like the help,” Jaime said. “I’m not in a mood to go there alone, especially not at night. But I prefer to get this over with, while the kids are staying overnight with their cousins.”

“Let’s go, then,” Olivia said. “It’s nearly dark. Maybe we can get rid of them, then come back and watch a movie.”

“Not one of your horror stories,” Harper said.

“I was thinking of a romantic comedy,” Olivia said. “We could stand more humor around here.”

“And romance,” Harper said.

It didn’t take long to get to the house. The sun had vanished. Jaime looked at the door in the pale twilight. She used her key to open it, then switched on the light. “Okay, let’s see who we have here.”

Olivia and Harper followed her inside. They stuck together and began walking around. It seemed rather quiet. Jaime wondered if something had already scared her intruders off.

Then the lights went out, and Harper shrieked. The image of a ragged man appeared on the stairs. Jaime stared; it was the man with the rotting body. He beamed an evil smile, showing his awful teeth. Then a voice shouted, “Dead, she’s dead!”

It was so loud that Jaime jumped. Olivia and Harper stood close, watching the specter. Before their eyes, a scene played out. There was Aunt Iris in perfect health, only she wasn’t. Her eyes grew large and she opened her mouth to yell, only no sound came out.

Then a man attacked her. His face was hidden, and his form was distorted. Iris wasn’t strong enough to fight him. She tried to use her witchcraft; Jaime saw the look in her eyes, her stance.

But Iris’s power was blocked. There was no effect on the beast of a man who dragged her away. The scene shifted. Iris was near the ditch. The attacker must have dragged her there. Only the man’s back could be seen. Jaime watched in horror, mesmerized by what she saw.

With wide eyes, Iris looked on in terror. Whatever the man did or said appeared to put her in shock. Then he reached out, and a bolt of electricity struck her chest. Iris went still, then fell to the ground. Jaime watched, waiting…but the images vanished.

The house was deathly quiet. Jaime turned to Olivia and Harper. “Our aunt was murdered. We just saw it for ourselves.”

The realization was a shock, even though Jaime had suspected foul play. It was one thing to wonder, and another thing entirely to witness it.
