The story revolves around a young governess tasked with looking after two orphaned children at a remote English estate known as Bly, where strange and unsettling occurrences unfold, raising questions about both the environment and the children themselves. At the start of the novella, a group of friends gathers around a fire on Christmas Eve, where a conversation ignites about ghostly experiences. Douglas, one of the members, hints at a chilling tale involving two children to whom a dreadful apparition appeared. This sets the stage for the recounting of the governess's experiences at Bly. As she arrives at the estate, she finds herself enchanted by the beauty of the children, Miles and Flora, yet underlying this charm is an unsettling tension hinted at through dialogue, especially about the previous governess who died under mysterious circumstances. The opening sequence effectively builds an atmosphere of suspense, promising a haunting exploration of innocence, corrupted motives, and the supernatural.
