Summary
At the age of 12 Tobias and his parents have to move to another city. This new situation annoys him so much that he wants to stay by himself after school and keeps locking himself in his room. From his window he can view the "Geisterhaus", a scary, vacant building which is haunted, people say. Through his camera Tobias curiously observes the neighborhood again and again when he suddenly thinks to recognize a slight light reflex in the house's window. Telling his parents they don't believe him the story, and when Tobias sees the light again on the next evening, he wants to take a photo. During that night Tobias calls on all his courage to leave his home building and creeps into the garden of the haunted house. His close unusual encounter with someone is about to happen.
