Somebody really needed attention for their wet specimen collection in the basement.

126. The Restoration – J.H. Moncrieff

Never underestimate the ladies or evil ghosts, they always have something unexpected to pull out in the end, or the middle, or the beginning, really. Terri, a woman who ruined a séance by telling the ghost it’s dead, is restoring Glenvale along with her daughter during a summer. Her employer is a remarkably spry 100 and the previous housekeeper, who was fired before Terri was hired to restore, can’t seem to leave – she must solve the mystery of the 100 year old’s brother’s young death, even though he had diabetes before he could really be treated efficiently for it or read about it via Stacey in the Babysitters Club. In her quest, she will have a bad time. Terri will also have a bad time. Terri’s daughter Dallas will also have a bad time. Even so, this is a solid, short haunted house tale with some gross family secrets.

 

An actual sweet brother guinea pig, Belvedere. He’d let the house be restored without going nutballs during a séance about him.
