Book Reviews of The Drowning Ghost (The Blair Witch Files, Case File 3)Book Review: Another great Blair Witch Files book... Summary: 5 Stars
When Cade Merrill, seventeen year old owner of the website, theblairwitchfiles.com comes across a newspaper article dating from 1825 about the mysterious drowning of a young girl, he decides to investigate. Eileen Treacle was only ten years old when she drowned in `East Tappy Creek" and several witnesses testified that they saw a `bony white hand' reach out of the water to pull the girl in.When Cade posts a message on his website asking for information on the legend, he doesn't expect success. After wading through dozens of replies, he comes across an e-mail from Cecelia Northrupp, a girl who claims to have seen the ghost of Eileen Treacle. Without hesistation, Cade decides to check her story out and uncovers the story of three more mysterious deaths near the same creek. The story is narrated by Cecelia Northrup herself and involves a high school camping trip that takes place 174 years after the strange death of Eileen Treacle. Immediately, things start to go wrong: the weather is freezing, some of the kids become ill, and ghost of a little girl appears to one of the seventh graders. Cecelia is convinced that something is wrong and the behaviour of one of the teachers and her boyfriend Mark is soon putting everyone's life in danger. But what is causing these strange events to occur and how are they linked to the creek itself? This book was fast-paced, entertaining and fairly creepy. I think it was less `psychological' than the previous book in this series, "The Dark Room", but equally enjoyable. I have to say I like the way that nothing is ever proved in these books and that the reader is left to make up their own mind about the unexplained events that take place. Overall, five stars and I recommend it to any teen who likes horror stories.
Summary of The Drowning Ghost (The Blair Witch Files, Case File 3)Eileen Treacle drowned when a ghostly figure pulled her down into Tappy East Creek. Some 175 years later, while on a school camping trip, three people mysteriously die near that same creek. A coincidence? Or does the Blair Witch legend tie these horrible deaths together?
