Thereâs nothing to be afraid of in graveyards...
Clara and her family have always lived near graveyards. Most would find it creepy, but not Clara. After all, a graveyard is really nothing more than a big garden planted with tombstones. But Clara can't help but feel there is something her parents aren't telling her...
One night, Clara is spooked when she sees an eerie glow flickering between the graves from her bedroom window. Soon, she can't ignore the light's hypnotizing pull and follows it into a mausoleum, where Clara is visited by the spirit of a young girl who died by drowning. Clara is convinced she has to help the restless spirit find peace, but can she safely set the spirit free without being lured into a terrifying trap?
