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. Will Nancy be able to find the missing landowner and discover how these mysteries are related?

i saw and read the movie both it was amazing and plzzzz follow me

This was a very good mystery! The characters were great, and the book flowed well. There were many spooky moments and I loved how more people became suspects. This book is great for mystery lovers!

I read this book because my grandmother used to read it when she was a kid so I thout it would be fun reading a book from when nobody had Ipones, computers, and ect.

So far so good. I like it's intensity though. real good.

When Nancy gets a call from her close Friend Helen Corning about a haunted house, she springs into action. But while investigating a missing man, Nancy's father goes missing himself. Are the two cases connected, and will Nancy be able to solve both mysteries and find her father? READ TO FIND OUT!

Nancy Drew 2 is awesome! all the nancy drew stories are classic with always a good ending. i love how the 'ghost' scares the poor old ladies living in an old house .

I love it because it was fun and also there is a movie to it. I watched the movie of it it was just like the book. loved it

I read this book because I needed it for a book project as a mystery book. It was recommended by my teacher and even though it is a big book it is a very interesting book. I would suggest it for people who LOVE mysteries and solving crimes. So that's why I suggest it. :)

I enjoyed this book because it had the right amount of cliffhangers and twists throughout the book.

Am I the only one who totally thinks that Nancy and Ned make the most perfect and adorable couple of all time and forever?
