Product Description
<“Alison, you must come back! Alison…” From the moment she sets foot in the forbidding house high on the cliff, Alison senses a mysterious presence in one of its rooms. There she discovers an ancient diary belonging to a girl who lived in the same house, centuries before. A girl exactly her own age, and whose life bears an uncanny resemblance to Alison’s. A girl who calls to her and cannot be denied. What does Bronwen want…and why is she so certain only Alison can help her? "Karleen Bradford demonstrates once again the ability to develop a pervasive mood and sustain it in a story full of intriguing characters and mystifying events." (Children's book News, the Canadian Children's Book Centre) "...a compelling read right to the exciting climax."

Great Ghost story for all ages
27 Oct 2011
Format:Kindle Edition
When Alison's father inherits a house in Wales from a great-aunt he's never heard of, he decides there is nothing to do but to spend the summer in Wales, where he will work on his book. However, almost as soon as she walks in the door, Alison has a bad feeling about Pen-y-Craig, or Cliffhouse as it is known in the local village. Alison discovers a diary written by a former inhabitant, and also sees and hear strange things in her old room. Is Pen-y-Craig haunted? Is there something Alison needs to do?
This is a great little haunted-house story - quite short, but plenty of plot to fill the spaces. Underneath the spookiness is a neat little sub-plot about second chances that I found quite nice. Definitely a must-read for young readers who enjoy being spooked a bit, or for readers of any age.

Another Hauntingly Wonderful Book By Karleen Bardford
15 April 2000
Format:Paperback
"The Haunting At Cliff House" by Karleen Bradford is a wonderfully written story about the relationship between a father and a daughter.
The story is set in the heart of Wales in a house which Mr.Evans (The father) and Alison (the daughter) inherited from a Great-Aunt. This house has a spirit trapped in time haunting it. Alison sees visions of the ghosts (Bronwen) life and is directed to an old diary. This diary holds the keys to why Bronwen is trapped. Throughout the story Alison seems to be going through the exactly the same situations as the Bronwen did in 1810. Alison soon realizes what has happened to Bronwen and helps her change the past.
Throughout this plot Alison is going through tough times herself. Her mother has long since passed away and her father has found a new woman (Meiriona) who he has taken a liking to. Alison feels her territory has been invaded by Meiriona and will ruin her tight knit relationship with her father. In helping Bronwen out with her problem, Alison discovers that she can make room, she doesn't own her father, and that everyone including her father has the right to be happy.
I recommend this story to anyone who likes mystery, suspense, sentiment, and a touch of the supernatural. Karleen Bradford once again accomplishes a perfect score.
The Haunting at Cliff House
11 Mar 2012
Format:Kindle Edition
I won this from Library Thing and it did not disappoint. I thought this story was well written and had a great plot. I loved the descriptions of the sea and manor. This story is the perfect haunted house story for those with younger readers, those who like ghost stories with a mystery behind it, or for those who don't like scary haunted houses. I highly recommend this story to others to give it a chance, you won't be disappointed.
