Is she protecting the children-or losing her mind?

A young governess is hired to care for two orphaned children at a remote English estate. At first, life at Bly House seems idyllic until she begins to see shadowy figures watching from the grounds. Convinced the children are in danger from malevolent spirits, she fights to protect them. But as the tension mounts, one question becomes unavoidable: Are these ghosts real, or is she descending into madness?

First published in 1898, The Turn of the Screw by Henry James is a masterclass in psychological horror, blending gothic atmosphere with unsettling ambiguity. Its haunting ending has sparked debate for over a century, making it one of the most discussed ghost stories in literature.
