The only person other than the small family at the castle is a housekeeper who has been there for many years.
One evening , John is awakened by a nightmare of the night his son died.
While wandering the castle , John hears what he believes are cries of a child. As his mind plays tricks on him , he has the idea in his head that the sounds he is hearing are those of his dead and buried son. And oops he cuts his hand , damn...
