SOLVED. 80s YA girl and father move to a haunted house [s]

[Heather]

This is vague. I'm pretty sure it's an 80s book; middle grade or YA. A girl and her father move to a haunted house in the middle of nowhere. There's a pond, and she learns to swim all by herself while her father works or writes a book or something. At the pond she meets a ghost kid. She eventually finds a secret room that was the ghost's. There's also some evil stuff going down. That's all I can remember! I just remember being TERRIFIED. I'd love to find it again.

Did you read it early or late
80s? Or did you read it early 90s?

Did the ghost drown? How did it become a ghost?

[Heather]

I think it was a late-80s book. I don't remember how the ghost became a ghost. I think it was a little boy.

I just came across this while looking for another book, I read it late 80's. It sounds about right except she is visiting her uncle for the summer. Christina's Ghost
