Plot outline

Terrible things happen on the estate of Castle Castlewood. Lady Perkins runs a boarding house on the premises for girls, who previously came off the right track. However, she obviously completely lost control of the place: A team of Scotland Yard tries to solve the murders on several young girls, who died under mysterious circumstances. Superintendent Hopkins clues lead nowhere. Further horrific incidents take place: Dreadful screams are silenced by the sound of an church organ.
