The Haunted House by Walter Hubbell, Fiction, Mystery&Detective

In 1878, Esther Cox -- a young woman who& 39;d recently suffered a physical attack on her virtue in a small Canadian town, in an era when such things were unheard of -- was beset by spirits. Unseen hands set themselves on her; sourceless voices spoke to her. She wasn& 39;t the only one who saw or experienced these things, but she was at the center of the phenomena. The haunting began with the work of a poltergeist: little fires, voices, and rapping noises. But too soon it escalated to become. . . . THE GREAT AMHERST MYSTERY
