They Live on Haunted Land. Every summer Grace and her sister, Clara, go to visit their cousins, and best friends, Anna Lee and Dolly Duley in North Carolina. But this summer is different. Because of Duley's new house, and because of the ghosts... The whole town knows the legend of Mr. and Mrs. Batts. How their house burned down, and how they died in the fire. The girls' uncle John got the house for a great price, because no one wanted to live on the haunted land. Now, the four cousins have heard strange noises coming from the woods. And they've seen the Battses walking down the dark lane, surrounded by an eerie glow. Everyone says there are no such things as ghosts, but if the Battses are alive, what are they doing hiding in the dark, scary woods?
