Summary
Clover Cottage was meant to be a new beginning.
A quiet home near Ross-on-Wye. A place to rebuild, settle down, and finally create the kind of life that feels permanent. But almost from the moment the couple moved in, the house began to behave as though it already belonged to someone else.
A swing moves violently beneath the old oak tree when there is barely any wind. Tapping comes at the kitchen window in the dead of night. Small handprints appear on the bedroom glass. A hidden space beneath the pantry floor reveals old steps leading down into darkness. Then, during a dinner party, a guest sees a young girl standing at an upstairs window… watching from inside a house where no child lives.
As the disturbances grow, the history of the land begins to surface. Long before Clover Cottage was built, another house stood there. A house connected to the Flynn family, a devastating fire in the 1930s, and a young girl named Lucy whose story had been half-buried in local memory for decades.
This is a haunting shaped not only by fear, but by grief, memory, and acknowledgement. A deeply atmospheric account of a home where the past was not simply discovered, but listened to — and where the living and the dead may have found a way to coexist.
