Magdalena's Ghost: The haunting of the house in Gallows Lane

LIES, TREACHERY AND DECEIT AND SOMETHING MUCH, MUCH DARKER. A fictional ghost story of the haunting of the house in Gallows Lane. PRESENT: A young couple, while traveling in their camper van, come across a big, old, empty house hidden behind an overgrown and chaotic garden, unaware that it is haunted by one of its previous occupants. BEFORE: Magdalena was a beautiful, sophisticated and talented musician and sculptress, living a privileged lifestyle with her debonair husband, ten-year-old daughter and six-year-old son, in Juniper House in Gallows Lane. When her husband and son disappear without trace in the 1950's it has a devastating effect on her from which she never recovers. Finally abandoned by her daughter, and living a reclusive life alone in the house, she waits in vain for her son to come home. But in her old age, the estranged daughter returns to have her sectioned and to claim her inheritance and Magdalena spends the remaining years of her life as an old woman locked away in an asylum. But when she dies she returns to Juniper House to haunt the daughter, eventually driving her insane so that she too suffers the same fate. PRESENT: When the young couple buy the house and begin to renovate it, unknown forces start to drive a wedge between them and soon they begin to drift apart. Sinister things start to happen and they unearth a secret which has remained a mystery for decades.
