The Unseen — Ethel Lina White

A novel of a woman becoming possessed by the sinister events in the mansion adjoining her own--a mansion that had been empty for years. Every night she heard eerie sounds coming from the shuttered house. She lay in her bed terrified at the nearness of an unknown menace. Most fearful of all, she realized that her very presence was a threat to whoever was behind the plans of the Unseen.

“There's someone -- or something -- in the empty house,” Elizabeth whispered in fear. “Deliver me from the Powers of Darkness!”

The grim mansion next door had been shuttered for years, yet Elizabeth could hear eerie noises coming from the old, empty house. It kept her awake at night, terrified.

She knew that the strange, menacing house would frighten her forever unless she could uncover its haunting secret.
