Summary

Who knew that our experience would push us over the edge of disbelief and through the door of certain terror?Debra Pickman had always wanted a ghost of her own. She never expected her wish to come horrifically true when she, her husband, and their newborn son moved into a century-old home in Atchison, Kansas, that-to their shock-is also occupied by a firestarting spirit child named Sallie . . . and darker, aggressive forces.Gradually, Debra becomes attached to Sallie and adjusts to her ghostly mischief-toys turning on by themselves, knick-knacks moving, and electrical disruptions. But serious problems arise when she can't control Sallie's habit of lighting fires. What's worse, her husband Tony becomes the victim of scratches, bites, and terrifying ghostly attacks that are clearly the work of other menacing entities. Discover how the ongoing terror takes its toll on their nerves, sanity, and marriage, and what finally forces the Pickmans to flee the infamous Sallie House.
