An old, ghostly dwelling stands in Windy Cliff, the home of the Stanfords. It is there that Bat Batterton (with Zagor and Chico) accompanies his latest client, Alan Stanford, who is visiting his uncle. But his uncle has died of heart failure, after having seen the ghost of Priscilla Stanford, a girl burned at the stake centuries earlier for being a witch. Are the chilling moans coming from the oak tree near the villa hers?
