The Hidden Staircase
La escalera escondida
Two sisters say their house is haunted. Nancy's father disappears proving it isn't.
The second Nancy Drew mystery (1930), told for Level 3. Footsteps in an empty mansion, music with no musician, things that move at night. Nancy takes the case as a favour — then her father misses the train he promised to catch, and the ghost story becomes something worse.
