Description

A weary night finds Warren Jarvis racing to a decaying Southern manor, summoned by his dying father’s desperate telegram. The once-grand house is shrouded in darkness, its halls echoing with the cries of a grieving servant and the faint, unsettling whisper of secrets long buried. As Warren confronts the frail colonel’s final words, he learns that his mother has just died and a double murder haunts the family, leaving him with a heavy legacy and a call for vengeance.

Determined to uncover the truth, Warren leans on his reputation as a “ghost breaker,” a daring adventurer accustomed to confronting the unseen. The eerie atmosphere, creaking floors, and lingering specters hint at a deeper mystery that will test his courage and wits. Listeners are drawn into a suspenseful blend of Southern gothic gloom and daring investigation, setting the stage for a race against time to reveal what—or who—still roams the mansion’s shadowed rooms.
