His wife died in an accident where she hit her head. Jenni and Eric meet Reverend Snow(Russ Conway) and his wife. Jenni talks to Mickey and discovers that he was close with the first wife. It is revealed that Jenni lost her parents in a drowning accident years ago. Jenni begins hearing noises in the house at night. Eric thinks that it was Mickey and he tells her that it's nothing. Jenni finds the gardener and she asks him to show her where the first wife is buried. He tells her that he heard the wife, Marion, crying in the night. Jenni begins to have bad dreams. She hears screams and goes to look. She finds a skull. She also hears knocking.
Jenni was in an asylum after the death of her parents. She wonders if she is losing her mind and she asks Eric to call in the doctor. He tells her that it must be Mickey who is behind it. Reverend Snow comes to see her and she tells him that she was in a sanitarium and about her parents.She saw them die and it affected her. Snow tells Eric that he should take Jenni away to help her. Eric will not do it. He has an argument with Mickey and tells him to get out. Eric decides to burn a portrait of his first wife. He tells Jenni to set it alight. They hear screaming and a skull emerges from the ashes. Jenni faints. Eric puts the skull into the pond. Mickey sees him. Eric is going to take Jenni back to the sanitarium. Eric goes to the pond to get the skull out, but it isn't there. He chases after Mickey, thinking that he took it.
Eric hits Mickey and he threatens him. Mickey has the skull and he brings to Reverend Snow. He wonders what is going on. Jenni sees a figure in the garden and it follows her. She runs into the house screaming. Eric tries to kill her. Eric sees what he thinks is Marion's ghost ad he panics. The skull seems to be coming after him. He falls into the pond and drowns. Jenni wakes up and she finds the Snows have come. They help her. Reverend Snow finds Eric's body in the pond. It turns out that he was after her fortune and he wanted to kill her and make it look like suicide so he could inherit everything. The Snows take Jenni away as Mickey goes to the pond and talks to someone or something. It seems like there is a woman in there, suggesting that it is the ghost of Marion.
This is a fun film. It is pretty short and there isn't much in it that will shock or creep you out, but the story is good and the ending is decent. I liked it and I definitely recommend it for an old style horror treat. I will give it 5/10.
