Books like Haunted ground by Stephen Gresham
Ted O'Dell, a farm boy from Saddle Rock, Kansas, recounts his summer of 1955 when his cousin Ilona, rumored to be a "child of the devil," arrives at the family home. Ilona, crippled by a strange accident, is immediately drawn to the Trogler house, an abandoned farmstead with a bloody past. She whispers questions about ghosts and claims to sense an ancient evil still lingering in the orchard behind the house. As the summer unfolds, Ilona’s presence stirs old echoes, threatening to awaken memories long buried. Ted’s naive perspective clashes with the dark atmosphere, leading him into a confrontation with the secrets of the Trogler estate,
assessing what truly haunts the land and the people bound to it.
