Summary: Invited by Dr. Montague, a philosopher wishing to investigate the nature of the supernatural, Eleanor arrives at Hill House, known by the residents of the nearest town to be the site of supernatural disturbances of an undefined nature. Eleanor, herself chosen as a guest of Hill House because of a supernatural event that happened in her childhood home, is joined, in addition to Dr. Montague, by Luke, who is to be next to inherit the house, and Theodora, who seems to have some degree of extrasensory perception. In spite of the ominous air about the house and early indicators that something is in fact amiss, the four guests make one another’s acquaintance and begin their stay in a spirit of something akin to camaraderie that provides a degree of comfort. It is not long, however, before things begin to change in ways the foursome never could have expected.
