Alone, Dominique arrives at a deserted beach in a remote part of Iceland. She wants to document the Ormen that was shipwrecked in the 1970s before the coastguard arrives at the end of the month to haul the wreck into the sea. She sets up camp inside the ship, but soon disturbing dreams make her awake suddenly, singing drifts through the ship, and in the distance along the beach she is sure there is a woman scantily clad in a dress even though it is below zero. These are images from 1901 when the Ormen, then a whaling ship, left Dundee. Later her visions are from when the Ormen was used as an Arctic research vessel in the 1970s.

Dominique hears footsteps above while she is camped below deck. When she climbs to the main cabin, three people are there—Leo, who clearly hates her, Samara, who sometimes seems to fear Dominique, and Jens. They claim they are here to document the ship too, but Dominique is wary of all three. Will they uncover who was actually on the Ormen in 1901 and what happened to the crew? And what about the strange disappearance of the 1970s research crew who also suffered a mysterious disappearance?

Equally as good is Cook’s The Ghost Woods set in Lichen Hall, a remote mansion where unmarried pregnant women from the 1950s and 60s come to give birth to their babies before they are adopted. Local legend says that an evil spirit, Nicnevin haunts the premises. Mrs Whitlock who is in charge of the women seems friendly at first, but Pearl, Mabel, Aretta and Rahmi soon grow fearful of Mrs Whitlock’s unpredictable actions.
