Chloe discovers that there is more to Lyle House than she imagined, and a lot more to her new house-mates than she could've thought possible. It's so bad that her aunt has her admitted to Lyle House, a low-key mental hospital for teens- although everyone assures her that she's merely schizophrenic, not seeing dead people. Then, at 15, Chloe finally gets her first period and the ghosts are back in droves. ![]() After her parents die, she is raised by her Aunt Lauren. ![]()
