Plot summary

Private detectives John and Kajsa Hillman are visiting friends on Holmfors mill when several people disappear mysteriously. A young lady disappears one night at the mill. She was seen going off to post a letter, and then just vanishes. That same night, the "family ghost" The Lady in Black was visible, a bad omen.

gollark: Politics makes all the human tribal instincts flare up, and brings in ideological stuff.

gollark: In those cases people will at least probably agree if you present a good case that your model/argument fits the data better, or something.

gollark: The most you get with that here, generally, is Spirit pointing out that everything you said was completely wrong, but with political stuff people disagree on a lot of things in ways which are hard to reconcile.

gollark: People disagree on politics more than... science things, I guess.

gollark: I mean, I'm just generally... in favour of free speech, not nazism or whatever?
