Stanley leaves on an extended business trip and the poltergeist reappears just as David deduces that his obstinate stepsister is behind all the smashing and clattering that is distressing her mother, the missing cupid head rolls down the stairs and even imperturbable Amanda loses her cool. ![]() ![]() Though she doesn't speak to the grown-ups, Amanda initiates the four Stanley children into her cult after an amusing series of ordeals.

Old ghosts are ingeniously resurrected when eleven-year-old David Stanley's father remarries and a new stepsister, Amanda, comes to live in the family's recently purchased house, where a cupid on the bannister has been mysteriously headless since previous residents endured a poltergeist manifestation in 1896. ![]()
