Zagor Original #48: Windy Cliff
Zagor, Chico and detective Bat Batterton arrive at the Stanford estate. Alan’s uncle is dead, groans come from an old oak, and a ghostly figure roams the grounds.
In Windy Cliff, private detective Bat Batterton takes his client Alan Stanford to visit his uncle, with Zagor and Chico along for the journey. Instead of meeting their host, they learn that he is dead. Before he died, he reportedly saw the ghost of Priscilla, a young woman burned as a witch centuries earlier. People in the nearby village already believe the old Stanford house is haunted.
The newcomers soon have unsettling experiences of their own. Groans come from the oak beside the house, and a pale figure appears and vanishes before anyone can get a good look. Only the butler seems unafraid. His composure sets him apart from everyone else, but it does little to explain why Priscilla’s story has taken on new life just as Alan’s uncle has died.
Guido Nolitta sets a detective mystery in the world of Gothic horror. Gallieno Ferri moves between the rooms of the house and the oak outside, taking the investigation from the household to the grounds. Zagor and Batterton have to sort out what people actually saw from what they have been hearing about the estate for years.
