Genevieve Hartley

Genevieve Hartley (previously Abbott) is currently one of the ghosts who reside in the Ghost House. Born in 1831, Genevieve married Benjamin Hartley, a wealthy doctor and author, in 1852. She moved into his home and had two sons with him, Edmund and Archibald, born in 1854 and 1857, respectively.

Benjamin had an affair with Genevieve's best friend, Samantha Pearce, in 1856, though she was lead to believe that the child, Constance, was biologically Gabriel Pearce's. In 1959, when Constance is three, Samantha reveals that she slept with Benjamin and that Constance is actually his. A saddened Genevieve responds by leaving Benjamin's home, but she is run over by several horses, killing her.
