    Emily Walker hated that they were moving to Collingwood House and became distressed when she read the details on the real estate listing - Haunted House.  They moved anyway, four thousand kilometers away from her best friend and to the seaside. The old house creaked and groaned, things went missing, doors banged, shadows moved from room to room and dead animals were found in unusual places. Curiously, after weeks of searching, no one could find the one key that led to the tower, the only place in Collingwood House to which they had no access.
