When the Squeaking Starts... Mary Lee Tiernan

When Mr. Carlson buys an old Victorian mansion, he has no idea it's a haunted house and he's inheriting its ghosts. His daughter Sandy, however, quickly discovers something's amiss. At first the incidents can be explained away by the drafts and noises of an old house. But a chilly draft doesn't normally push you backwards over a porch railing. The story unfolds in two time periods. Chapters alternate between the Carlsons and the former owners whose struggles continue past their deaths. One chapter takes you back to the 1920s and into the lives of Nora and her younger sister Alessandra. In the next chapter, their actions echo through time to manifest themselves in the present. As the conflict between the two sisters escalates, so does the danger to Sandy. She must solve the mystery behind these warring spirits, as she is caught in the middle of their battles and one of the ghosts is trying to harm her.
