"The Room with the Tassels" by Carolyn Wells is a mystery novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around a group of friends who become intrigued by the supernatural and decide to investigate a reputedly haunted house, known as the Montgomery Place, during their summer vacation. Main characters include the spirited Eve Carnforth and the skeptical Gifford Bruce, who bring contrasting perspectives on the existence of ghosts. At the start of the book, a lively discussion takes place among a group of friends at a New York City gathering, where they debate the existence of ghosts and spiritualism. Eve is particularly passionate about the idea of experiencing supernatural phenomena, while others are skeptical, including Bruce. This sets the stage for their adventurous plan to find a haunted house, prompting Landon to contact a real estate agency in search of a property with a ghostly history. When they finally arrive at the Montgomery Place, the atmosphere is eerie and laden with expectations of paranormal encounters, leading to a series of mysterious experiences, including a chilling event that occurs at the stroke of four o'clock. As they navigate their intriguing and unnerving experiences, the group confronts the thin line between reality and the supernatural. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
