Summary

"Uncanny Tales" by Mrs. Molesworth is a collection of chilling ghost stories from the late 1800s where a family, including siblings Leila and Dormer, decide to live in Finster St. Mabyn, an old house by the sea. Drawn to its unique charm and the promise of healing sea air, the family is unaware that the house has a reputation for being haunted. Strange things start happening soon after they arrive, especially for young Dormer, who feels cold spots and sees weird shadows, suggesting something supernatural is there. This sets the scene for a closer look at the spooky secrets hidden inside Finster St. Mabyn, as the family comes to realize that they are not alone and their understanding of what is real will be put to the test.
