Ted's little sister, Vicki, has a new friend named Marella, and she's a ghost. Vicki isn't afraid of Marella, who's a little girl like she is, but she is afraid of the bad lady who is chasing Marella. While investigating the ghost, Ted discovers a journal, left by his great-great-grandmother, Winifred, relating her story of assisting runaway slaves who drowned in the canal behind the house. And Ted's family still lives there. Why are the ghosts following Ted's sister? Was his house really a station in the Underground Railroad?
