On holiday with friends, the Hardy boys check out the local haunted house. Deterred by screams and the dilapidated house, the group turn towards home. However, a nearly fatal motor boat chase in the nearby bay causes the Hardy boys to wonder: is the house really haunted, or is there foul play afoot? This is the second book of the Hardy boys series, first published in 1927. It was rewritten in 1959; this Standard Ebook contains the original 1927 text.
