The Phantom and Barnabas Collins
The story starts out with Barnabas and Maggie in Giles Collin's tomb where they find a hidden room for the coffin of Valeria Norris. Asa Collins hated her.
Somehow (totally unexplained)Maggie ends up back in 1880 at the time of Asa Collins. She is at Collinwood but without her memories. She meets a woman named Aunt Polly and Giles Collins himself. Maggie doesn't know anyone there but is taken as a friend of Valeria Norris.
Maggie has a problem in seeing a "pink ghost." Barnabas shows up. He has two female helpers and the villagers don't like them. There are also nasty rumors about Giles himself.
It turns out Giles is a mad scientist, a woman gets murdered, Maggie is captured and strapped to a table and Barnabas continually has told Maggie to leave Collinwood.
The story doesn't work as well as it could. How Maggie goes into the past and then gets back into present time is not explained and her losses of memory aren't either. The story would have been much better if it started the same way and then Barnabas relates the events that had happened (saying he found it in his research) without Maggie going into the past at all.
