    When Helen Stoner visits Sherlock Holmes seeking his help in discovering how her twin sister, Julia died suddenly two years earlier, she is having experiences similar to Julia's before she died.

    Helen has recently gotten engaged to be married, Julia was going to be married when she suddenly died from mysterioius causes.

    Helen has been sleeping in Julia's old bedroom, at the request of her step-father; the house is undergoing renovation.

    Helen has, of late, since she is sleeping in Julia's old room been hearing whistling sounds in the night.

    "Because during the last few nights I have always, about three in the morning, heard a low, clear whistle. I am a light sleeper, and it has awakened me." (Conan Doyle)
