Short storyline: Honey and Trixie meet Fay who believe she has been possessed by the long dead witch in the haunted house her mother is a live in housekeeper in. While more than one person is responsible for the mystery, only one attempts to burn the house down around the ears of Fay and the Bob Whites.
Notes for the reader: A great mystery! No violence and no murder.
