They were coming tonight to tell ghost stories. 'A tale to freeze the blood' was the only rule. Switzerland, 1816. On a stormy summer night, Lord Byron and his guests are gathered round the fire. Felix, their serving boy, can't wait to hear their creepy tales. Yet real life is about to take a chilling turn.

Someone else has followed her here too, she says. And the girl is terrified.
