The Possessed — Dorothy Daniels

Terror in Maine. A dour and cheerless mansion overlooking the rocky coast of Maine ... a tall granite monument draped with a hangman's rope ... The ghost of a man hanged for murder and arson takes evil possession of a beautiful young woman ... An eerie gust of ribald laughter bursts from a locked and barred room ... A last will and testament is written by demon-haunted hands... A dead man's relatives scheme to snatch his wealth... And the charred hulk of a drowned merchant ship hides the secret of a fiendish crime.

She couldn't escape a dead man's spirit until she cleared his name!
