On Discworld live three witches, Granny, Nanny and Margrat. One day a baby is thrown into their laps and it happens that it is the son of the dead king. The king, murdered by the Duke, who wants to be ruler. Well, the Duchess want to be ruler actually: behind every good man, stands a better woman. Anyway, the witches decide to get the baby adopted by an actor and his wife, so he stays out of trouble until he is ready to rule as the new king. When everything goes awry with the Duke (the idea to burn down the whole forest amongst other things), the witches decide to speed up time about fifteen years. But is that the right decision?

Dr. Montague is an occult scholar and he wants some solid evidence about the phenomenon called haunting. He sets his eyes on Hill House, a big mansion up in the hills, to conduct his study. The house is said to be haunted and anybody who tried living there, moved out after only three or four days (and nights). Dr. Montague is set on explaining. To do so he invites three others to live with him in Hill House, all somewhat experienced in the phenomenon. First there is Theodora, his lighthearted assistant, always in for a good scaring and laugh. Then there is Luke, the heir to be of the place. He has to be there, because of his aunt, who didn’t want anyone in the place without some family. And last but not least, there is Eleanor, an emotionally unstable girl, no stranger to the ‘unknown’. How long will they stand the haunting of Hill House?
