Chapter One * Family Tree

I am Elena Maryweather the great, great, great, granddaughter of Lucinda and Edgar Maryweather. There are many things in my family that are a mystery to me. But one stands out much more than the rest. Long ago there was a time where having servants was a common thing; my family had the largest staff in the town of Westbury Connecticut. The house was a large mansion that looked very intimidating from the street. After everyone had died no one dared to venture into it. People often said that the house was haunted but I never put much stock in it. It wasn't until I decided to clean it up and put it on the market did I realize just how right these people were.
