GHOST OF WINDSOR PASS

On a treacherous snowy New Year's Eve in 1980, elderly couple Wilbur and Ellie Weiss, who had escaped the horrors of a concentration camp during World War II, met a tragic fate when their car was forced off the road, landing sideways in a ditch.

Six months later, Andy and Marisa Janzen, fresh from Joplin, Missouri, purchased the Weiss's Victorian home in Charleston, unaware of the dark past entwined with its walls. The couple had been in the car with Andy when the accident occurred, a moment forever haunting their conscience.

Desperate to reclaim their peace, Wilbur's restless spirit sought vengeance, plotting elaborate frights to drive the Janzen family away. With Ellie's spirit watching, he promised her he would spare the children from harm, a promise he feared he might struggle to keep. But as Wilbur's schemes intensified, they risked entangling the innocent-something Ellie never wanted.

When a tragic accident befell the Janzen's close friends, Hank and Cindy, Andy and Marisa became more resolute in their decision to stay, unwittingly igniting a haunting battle between past and present, forcing Wilbur into increasingly extreme measures to reclaim his home and peace.

In the summer of 1973, a small town in Northern California experiences horrific and unimaginable killings. Who or what is the cause of the crime spree?

Chief Joe Brooks, police chief of the town of Clover, has never seen anything like this happen before. As the killings increase, the media bombards his little town to find out what is going on. When Chief Brooks discovers that the killings are from something not quite human, he enlists the help of a couple of zoologists to determine the species of what they are dealing with. The FBI offers their help to provide a profile of the magnificent animal. What they find is shocking—the creature has the intelligence of a human serial killer with the strength of ten men.

Despite Chief Brooks’ misgivings, Clover’s town council votes to hold their annual summer festival. With families enjoying the festivities and law enforcement surrounding the perimeter, Brooks can only hope that the event will remain uneventful and that he can keep his citizens safe. But when a mutilated body is discovered, Brooks knows that he has to take matters in his own hands and, perhaps, die trying.
