A Grave in Autumn Donald Gorman

Russell Wilburn moves to a seemingly quiet small town to start a new life. He buys a house that appears to be the ideal setting to begin this new venture. Unfortunately, strange things begin to happen. Mysterious phone calls and ghostly visions lead him to believe the house is haunted. He quickly develops a fascination with an old mansion a few blocks away, and a cemetery further up the road. It doesn''t take long to discover that the mansion is inhabited by a crazy old man who is the only living descendant of a once rich and powerful family. Everyone in town knows the horrific legend of the mansion. Everybody knows of the tales that tie the mansion and the cemetery to Russell''s new house. On the surface, no one admits these places are really haunted. However, everyone is still afraid of them. The notorious spot in the cemetery is considered a children's story of a grave that doesn''t exist. Still, he must go there to answer the questions that will rid his home of its supernatural inhabitants. He must brave the infamous cemetery and the haunted mansion (with its deadly resident) in order to save himself from the unwanted guests in his new home. There is only one person who is willing to aid in his fight to save his house and survive! Unfortunately, that person is already dead!
