Josie is a fifteen-year-old high school theater geek who has been able to communicate with the dead ever since she hit her head on a rock during last summer''s adventure camp. Now, it''s Halloween and the only thing she wants is to be a normal teenager... to go to football games and costume parties, hang out with her friends, talk about boyfriends, and complain about homework and her parents, but she cannot escape the spirits of the dead. And while studying the Salem Witch Trials in school, Josie begins to doubt her own sanity and fear the reaction if anyone besides her closest friends knew of her ability. Would she be called a witch? Would people think she''s weird, crazy, or evil? Just when she believes things are turning around, Josie finds herself haunted by the band of witch-killers who destroyed the village of Fishkill Pond centuries ago. With the help of her live friends Jenna, Simon, and Dave - and a few dead ones as well - Josie must find a way to help the men who are tormenting her and haunting land of Fishkill Pond or risk being cursed by them forever.

"A shadowed figure stood in the doorway directly opposite from where Josie lay. She told herself that it must be Adam, but reason argued that the figure before her was too tall and too wide, almost filling the entire doorway.Thunder shook the house while lightning flashed and for a split-second she could see him clearly. He wore a dark tailored suit with a high-collared shirt pinched at the throat with a tie, and a tall, wide-brimmed hat that cast a shadow over his face so again she couldn''t see his eyes. But she knew he was watching her.Terror froze her. She couldn''t move. She couldn''t speak."While on a summer adventure camp in the Northern Maine woods, Josie - a theater geek who prefers ballet shoes to hiking boots - and her fellow campers find themselves forced to take shelter in an abandoned house in the middle of the forest. Each will have their own brush with the supernatural as they confront the long-dead residents of the home, but after a bump on the head, Josie will be taken above and beyond any comfortable reality she has known so far. She will be thrust into finding an inner strength she hadn''t known she possessed and into facing a love deeper than she knew possible. And as Josie and her new friends step into a world of paranormal possibilities never before known to them, how will their experiences forever change her life and the lives of those she is now closest with?
