- problem:
- both
- girls
- are
- untrained
- witches.

- can
- literally
- see

- Violet
- can
- see
- the
- dead
- man
- wandering
- at
- the
- bottom
- of
- the
- garden.
- In
- fact,
- she
- can
- see
- all
- the
- dead
- and
- call
- them
- back.Soon,
- Clara
- finds
- herself
- surrounded
- by
- apparitions
