[Gutenberg 46375] • The Phantom Treasure

Jannet Eldon believed that she had no living relatives until one day Uncle Pieter Van Meter sent for her to come live with him at the old Dutch homestead in New York.

There Jannet lives in the room which once belonged to her mother and is very happy to have a family of her own after the lonely years spent at boarding school. Her cousins, Diana, Andrew, and young Jan, are pleasant companions.

However, strange things occur in the old house. Mysterious steps are heard in the night, odd lights seem to shine through the walls, and the peaceful nights are broken by the wails of the "Dutch banshee." But strangest of all, the lovely "phantom treasure" which once had belonged to Jannet's mother, disappears and reappears with baffling frequency.

Old P'lina, the housekeeper, is certain that the house is haunted. But Jannet does not agree and she determines to follow the mysterious ghost and learn the truth.

The final appearance of the ghost brings the story to a climax fully as thrilling as it is unexpected.
