After receiving a call from her friend Helen Corning, Nancy agrees to help solve a baffling mystery. Helen's Aunt Rosemary has been living with her mother at the old family mansion, and they have noticed many strange things. They have heard music, thumps, and creaking noises at night, and seen eerie shadows on the walls. Could the house be haunted?

Just as soon as she hangs up the phone, a strange man visits Nancy's house to warn her and her father that they are in danger because of a case he is working on buying property for a railroad company. This warning leads Nancy and her father Carson to search for the missing Willie Wharton, a landowner, who can prove he signed away his land to the railroad and save the railroad from a lawsuit.

I love this book! It is about a young detective named Nancy. She goes off to help out with a mystery of a ghost that has been bugging her friends aunt for a long time. While she tries to solve the mystery, she finds unexpected clues. She also finds a hidden staircase! The hidden staircase is where the person/ghost must have been hiding to get from place to place. In the end, the ghost was caught and Nancy went back home to her father and housekeeper in River Heights.
