Read OnlineThe body dies but the souls live on the places where there is death. And they drive you crazy. The familiy consists of Pedro, Antonia, Juan and Pili, and they are about to become the new tenants of the House of Bonmati. Mr. Valenti and his sister Angels, the last living owners, have proposed their new tenants a good deal: If they take care of the house and the land surrounding it, and they keep it clean and tidy, they will be allowed to live there, rent-free. The house of Bonmati is a 100-year-old house, and Mr. Valenti will share its history with them gradually, like throwing petals in the wind. But he doesn't tell them the whole truth. Pili realizes there are strange faces and silhouettes all around the house, but she is the only one who can see them, and nobody believes her when she tries to tell them. Although the couple’s marriage is on the rocks, Pili is the apple of Pedro's eye, and Juan is Antonia's perfect son. But things change soon. There are ghosts everywhere, Juan can see them now, and the eerie sounds are continuously heard at all times and locations. When he enters room six, Juan is stunned by the odd woman who asks him to kiss her so as to keep safe. Eventually, the strange voices start whispering in his father's head and he starts behaving bizarrely, with a crazy look in his eyes. Then the storm breaks out, leading them to a tragic ending.
