Who is haunting Hal, and what dark secrets lie in his family’s history? Hal, a 12-year-old boy, eagerly anticipates the annual holiday in Wales at his grandad, Grand’s, cottage. However, this year, an unsettling aura surrounds the place. A mysterious girl begins to shadow Hal’s every move, and an eerie presence disrupts his peaceful nights.
As the incidents intensify, Hal’s friend suggests that it may be paranormal activity, but the question remains: Who is haunting Hal? Could it be a lingering spirit from Grand’s time as a wartime evacuee, or perhaps a ghostly remnant from his Mum’s childhood visits to the cottage?
Amidst the usual holiday activities of laughter, complaints, scenic walks, and indulgence in Welsh cakes, Hal’s Mum, Carrie, grapples with her husband’s hidden torment. As the haunting continues to escalate, the family’s buried past begins to resurface, demanding answers that can no longer be ignored.
“The Year of The Ghost” is a gripping tale of mystery and family secrets, where the past refuses to stay hidden. With each chilling occurrence, Hal’s courage is put to the test, as he confronts the malevolent forces that threaten to consume him and his family. Can Hal survive the horrors unleashed by the haunting, and will the truth finally emerge from the shadows?
