The Haunted House Synopsis
Young Anne (Winifred Allen) who lives with her stern uncle, is considered strange by the gossips of her village because she spends much of her time in the woods, where she has imaginary conversations with her deceased mother. When Jimmy (Dick Rosson), a crook is wounded after a robbery, he eludes the sheriff by hiding in a deserted mansion, unaware that the mansion is said to be haunted. The spirit haunting the mansion is Anne, who befriends Jimmy and frightens away his pursuers by pretending to be a ghost. Soon, the young couple begin a romance, safe within the walls of the haunted house.
