Deserted for years, an historically significant house is coveted by a number of people: a yuppie couple looking for a country home to restore, a local builder and his estate agent partner looking for development rights, and a conservationist. The owner is anxious to sell, but when a couple of deaths occur in the vicinity, things come to a halt while Inspector Barnaby investigates.他并不在意这两个人是否来这里和自己抢功，也不在意他们是不是有别的什么目的，他真正在意的是这两个人似乎约好了在这里等着自己，是否意味着他们已经被那只鬼袭击了，记忆已经被篡改，彻底沦为了鬼奴？
