1999

Hadlow House has been standing empty and abandoned since it was struck by fire more than seventy years earlier. At least, that's what everyone thinks. Beth's parents set to work trying to restore the place to its former glory, but they soon start to notice that something strange seems to be afoot. Why are voices sometimes heard whispering at night? And what's responsible for the sense of dread that everyone feels on the stairs?

Beth soon realizes that she's living in a haunted house, but how can she persuade her parents that they need to abandon their plans? Something dark is lurking in the house, something that has a plan of its own. For Beth and her family, this attempt to start a new life might be about to take a tragic turn.

1999 is the twelfth and penultimate book in the Haunting of Hadlow House series, which tells the story of one haunted house over the centuries from its construction to the present day. All the lives, all the souls, all the tragedies... and all the ghosts. Readers are advised to start with the first book in the series.
