Synopsis:
Abigail Warren, accused of witchcraft and burned at the stake two hundred years ago, has spanned time and mortality to seek revenge against the ancestors of those responsible for her death. Julia Warren, a direct ancestor of the witch, is not of sound mind and claims Abigail is haunting her. The caretaker of the local cemetery and Mr. Harrow, the town historian, are found murdered. Like a shadow in the night, the witch’s voice filled with cackling laughter is heard as each of her victims is charred to death — their remains partially hidden so they can be found later. Hiding with Julia, Margot discovers the girl is mentally disturbed and like Jekyll and Hyde, Abigail becomes the dominating character. The Shadow arrives before Margot can become the next victim. Lamont later explains to Margot that Julia suffered a breakdown following her father’s death and gradually sought revenge on the people responsible…and in her mind became Abigail.
