In the late winter of 1922, a German family was found slaughtered in their isolated Bavarian farmstead. This horrific crime sent shockwaves through the quiet community. In the days leading up to the tragedy, strange sounds had been heard echoing from the attic, forcing the family's maid to flee in terror, convinced the house was haunted. The list of potential suspects was long, further complicated by the patriarch's violent nature, and his disturbingly close relationship with his daughter... To this day, the murders remain unsolved, a chilling mystery that continues to puzzle law enforcement and true crime enthusiasts alike.

In the summer of 1955, the Pell family from Birmingham moved into a newly refurbished house in the inner-city district of Ladywood. Eager to leave behind their previous cramped and dilapidated living conditions, they embraced their new home with optimism, hopeful for a fresh start filled with comfort and stability. But beneath the surface of their excitement, something dark and sinister lingered within the walls of the house. And soon, the family would face a tragedy far beyond their worst nightmares.
