Jessica's friend, Eve Simpson, has recently taken on the task of selling one of Cabot Cove's oldest properties--the Spencer Percy House. Its current occupant, Cliff Cooper, is convinced he's about to die and wants the house sold so he can give the proceeds to his grandson.

But Eve's got quite a challenge on her hands. Not only is the building in deplorable physical condition, it is also rumored to be haunted.

When Cliff's deadly premonition becomes a reality, some people aren't sure he died of natural causes. Now, as Jessica tries to get to the bottom of Cliff Cooper's death, a medium hired by Eve attempts to rid the house of the alleged apparition. But if Jessica isn't careful, she may be the one who joins the ranks of the dearly departed.
