Mark Winter's car breaks down one night in Virginia during a storm and he enters a 19th century looking mansion for shelter. The woman and man who live there have an old quaint feel to them in terms of their dress and mannerisms. When Mark mentions he's from Boston the man tries to kill him but the woman tries to stop him and she's shot to death instead. Mark flees into the night. The next morning he sees the mansion all old and dilapidated and a local tells him a man killed his wife back during the Civil War when she tried to protect a soldier from Boston!
