It tells the process of the heroine's consciousness being tested. The story takes place in London, England. There is a simple country priest's daughter who is hired as a governess to take care of the children Miles and Flora in a manor. During her tenure, the female teacher felt that the ghosts of her predecessor and the manor's valet often appeared in the manor. At the same time, she wanted to confirm from Miles, Flora and the housekeeper Mrs. Gross that what she saw was not an illusion. These ghosts intentionally harm the children in the manor and make them cunning, making the heroine's rescue process more complicated. The various crimes exposed in the book are thought-provoking, and the horrific and dangerous scenes are shocking.
