Whispers From The Dead	comment	Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })One of the few overtly supernatural works written by Joan Lowery Nixon—most of them either have only vague hints at something otherworldly, sometimes only due to the publishers' blurb (The Other Side of Dark), or what at first is played up as supernatural turns out to have an ordinary if chilling explanation (The Seance, A Deadly Game of Magic). But this one, while it could be dismissed as only being the result of a Near-Death Experience and really just about solving a sociopath's murders, is made very clear at the outset via the first-person perspective to involve a true haunting and psychic experiences. note Other examples would be The Haunting, Haunted Island, and The House on Hackman's Hill.Seventeen-year-old Sarah Darnell, after her family moves to Houston as part of her father's promotion/company transfer (and, though no one will say it outright, to help escape the aftereffects of her drowning), discovers that their new house—expensive and lavish but available at a startlingly low price—was the site of a grisly murder two years before. What wasn't expected, however, was that the Psychic Link she'd accidentally forged with the Other Side would draw in the ghost of a victim seeking justice and a chance to rest. As Sarah attempts to balance fitting in and making friends in her new community, dating a handsome older acquaintance, and keeping her parents from learning the truth of her supernatural experience, she must find a way to communicate with this ghost and solve the mystery...before those who don't want it solved make sure she, too, is only a whisper from the dead.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

Whispers From The Dead / int_4c8e8078	comment	All of the Other Reindeer: Sarah's friends in her original home town unfortunately have a downplayed reaction like this when they learn about the spiritual presence that haunted her ever since she nearly drowned—becoming afraid of her, disturbed and uncomfortable around her, coming up with excuses not to hang out with her, and eventually being secretly glad when her family moves to Houston. Summed up in the nickname "Strange/Weird Sarah."

Whispers From The Dead / int_d4f5426	type	Absence of Evidence
Whispers From The Dead / int_d4f5426	comment	Absence of Evidence: This is the main reason that the murders remain unsolved until Sarah comes into the picture—that because the murder weapon (and any fingerprints) was missing from the scene of the crime, and although the blood in the entry hall and the discarded pizza box proves Darlene Garland had been at the Holts and murdered there, there is no witness or other evidence proving Adam himself was actually at the scene when the murder took place. A neighbor hearing screams is also dismissed as being such proof because the timing doesn't fit (since the police didn't know about Rosa's murder). There's also the point that the Holts got rid of any evidence of Rosa living with them, which makes it impossible to prove Adam murdered her either.
