The children were waiting.
Waiting for centuries.
Waiting for someone to hear their cries.

Now nine-year-old Christine Lyons has come to live in the house on the hill—the house where no children have lived for fifty years.

Now little Christie will sleep in the old-fashioned nursery on the third floor. Now Christie`s terror will begin.

A sound was coming to her. Her mind began to drift . . .

Usually it came to her at night, when the wind was blowing. But today it was bright and clear; the wind was still.

“But you were crying. I heard you. Good girls never cry. Only bad children cry. They cry. And cry. And then they must be punished. . . .”
