Ghosts of Alhambra

GHOSTS OF ALHAMBRA
A supernatural suspense novel by Elisabetta Panzica

In the quiet basement of a California college, a mannequin opens her eyes—and a century-old secret awakens.

When Safi, a young CNA student, agrees to make up a class on a quiet Saturday morning, she expects to study in silence. Instead, she and her instructor experience something terrifying: a mannequin—nicknamed Megan—moves. Speaks. Watches. Haunted by what they saw, the two women are drawn into a chilling mystery that transcends time.

Megan isn’t just a teaching tool—she’s a vessel for a soul trapped between worlds, desperate to be heard. As visions begin to unravel the tragic story of a woman wrongfully institutionalized in the early 1900s, Safi discovers eerie parallels to her own life: an abusive ex, a missing daughter, and secrets too heavy to carry alone.

Ghosts of Alhambra is a suspenseful and emotionally resonant tale of trauma, survival, and the unbreakable bond between a mother and her child—even beyond the grave.

Some mannequins are just plastic. This one remembers.
