   Helen has always been wary of the way her twin sister Julia died.  Julia died right before her wedding and now with her own nuptials not to far away Helen begins to notice some of the same things that Julia had told her about....the whistle and clang in the dead of night.  She has also been made to sleep in Julia's old room.  Holmes had helped a friend of Helen's and she didn't know where else to turn.
