On the last day of school she announces she is going to spend the summer in San Francisco but she doesn't know anyone there. hmmm was it her psychic talking for her?

She then discovers she has relatives who do live in SF, her mother’s distant cousin Lester Splinter and his fragile daughter Juliet. She writes a letter inviting herself to visit some and when receiving a letter of invitiation (written by Mr. Splinter's bubbly assistant) she's off and running. She determines that Mr. Splinter and his daughter live in a haunted house — there's even a tower that is off limits. The house seems to conceal a terrible secret. But is it really haunted?

While everyone seems to see ghosts but Gilda she cheerfully marches on to solve these mysteries. Together she and Juliet discover the sad secret of why they tower is shut off from the house. Is Juliet doomed to become her aunt, who killed herself by throwing herself from the tower?
