| Summary |
"The House on the Cliff" by Franklin W. Dixon is a mystery novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around the Hardy Boys, Frank and Joe, who embark on an adventurous outing with their friends. They find themselves drawn to the mysterious, reportedly haunted Polucca house, where a dark history involving a murder and rumored ghostly sightings adds to the intrigue. At the start of the book, the Hardy Boys and their friends are looking for an exciting way to spend a Saturday, and they decide to explore the rumored haunted house perched on a cliff. As they approach the abandoned Polucca residence, they discuss its eerie history and the brutal murder of its former owner. Their adventure quickly escalates when they hear strange noises, encounter a sudden storm, and ultimately find themselves in a precarious situation that involves physical danger, including the house's ceiling collapsing. The tension builds further when they hear a second chilling shriek from the upper level, leaving them both terrified and curious about the true mysteries that the house holds.
