Inspired by the true story of the Fox Sisters in the nineteenth century America, We Played With Fire by Catherine Barter follows the Fox Sisters, Maggie and Kate, as they and their family are spending the winter in a remote farmhouse upstate. They don't believe Maggie has seen impossible things and, bored and angry, she and Kate start to play tricks on each other and the rest of the family: knocking the floorboards above their parents' bedroom, cracking their toes under the table, telling tales of noises in the night.
And that's all fun... till the house stars making noises of its own. Neither Maggie and Kate can explain who or what are making the noises. But... is there something - no, someone - in the house, trying to speak to them...
