An artist friend rents a dilapidated Connecticut manor near Edgeville to chase a legend of a haunting. A Boston road excursion leads two men to a gloomily picturesque estate where a bell rings by itself and a mysterious female apparition is claimed, prompting a tense nocturnal vigil.
In a dim room a woman dressed as a ghost terrifies two men until a quick reveal shows she is the daughter of Colonel Guiney. She explains the haunting was a ruse to reclaim their home from those who would cheat them, aiming to hold it until New Year.
A historical survey outlines diverse new year start dates across civilizations. It notes Roman shifts from winter solstice to January 1, Jewish Rosh Hashana, Egyptian, Persian, and Greek calendars, and medieval European changes from March 25 to January 1.
