The year is 1884
These are dark, troubled times
Fraught with greed, envy, and prejudice
It's two worlds divided
Rich and poor, black and white
Master and servant, the living and well... the not quite dead
Oh yes, that's right
The spirit world plays a large part in this story that you're about to hear
Allow me to present Abby and Daniel
A happy couple, obviously head over heels and completely smitten with each other
Aren't they adorable?
They could not know, of course
That their love was doomed even as it started
And that fate was about to deal them the cruelest hand imaginable
I feel I should warn you, this tale is not for the faint of heart
Things go dreadfully wrong for our young lovers
The terrible, horrific sequence of events that's about to unfold here
Will surely be too much for the tender-hearted
There! My duty to you is fulfilled
And you may now proceed... But at your own risk!
