Summary

Growing up in a pair of connected duplexes in historic Sherman, Texas, she never expected her childhood home to be the setting for her first paranormal experience. But everything changed the night her best friend Jessica came over—because while they sat watching Jaws in the living room, her mother saw "Jessica" walk out the back door. A dopplegänger? A ghost imitating a child? It was just the beginning. Strange noises, slamming doors, a dog growling at invisible corners, and a deep sense of unease followed. Some family members were affected more than others, and certain sides of the duplex always felt darker. Years later, the memories still linger—and so might the little girl who looked just like her.
