The very first day they move into the house strange things start to happen. Sophie notices a hole in the wall with blood oozing from it. When her father takes a look at it, all he can see is some rusty water.

They get friendly with their neighbours, George and Jean Evans. While they are there one day, knives start to turn up. The same sort of knives that were used to mutilate a body by the previous owner. According to the Evanses the police were supposed to have taken everything away.

One day Sophie goes to feed her cat some milk. She goes upstairs but cannot find it anywhere. Eventually she goes downstairs and there lying on the window-ledge is Timmy, with its neck badly lacerated having been apparently trying to get through a sharp opening in the windowpane. Sophie screams.

That night William buries the cat in the garden.

It soon becomes apparent to William and Emma that something terrible happened in their house, something that their neighbours were reluctant to tell them. A newspaper catalogues the terrible events when Albert Clements butchered his wife's body in what has become known as "The house of blood".
