Is the place really haunted by evil forces, as her father claimed? Or are there more earthbound—and dangerous—secrets hidden within its walls?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eEvery house has a story to tell and a secret to share.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTwenty-five years ago, Maggie Holt and her parents moved into Baneberry Hall, a rambling Victorian estate in the Vermont woods. Three weeks later they fled in the dead of night, an ordeal her father recounted in a memoir called \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eHouse of Horrors\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e. His story of supernatural happenings and malevolent spirits became a worldwide phenomenon, rivaling \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Amityville Horror\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e in popularity—and skepticism.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMaggie was too young to remember any of the horrific events that supposedly took place, and as an adult she doesn’t believe a word of her father’s claims.
