Tuesday, Jan. 14 - The House That Would Not Die

The House That Would Not Die (1970)

Ruth Bennett has inherited an old house in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania in the Amish country. She moves in to the house with Sara Dunning, her niece. The house was built during the Revolutionary era and is said to be haunted by the spirits of its original inhabitants who are disinclined towards hospitality. With the help of Pat McDougal, a local professor and Stan Whitman, one of his students, they delve into the history of the house and find a scandal that involves a Revolutionary War General Douglas Campbell, who was suspected of being involved with British enemies, and his daughter Amanda "Ammie", who was presumed to have disappeared after eloping with her boyfriend Anthony. The spirits of Campbell and Ammie take possession of Pat's and Sara's bodies, and it is learned that the general killed Anthony and Ammie the night they tried to elope.
