The Haunting of St. Mary’s Stadium

A haunted stadium. A crumbling soccer team. Two brave sisters racing to uncover the truth before it’s too late.

When Southampton FC moves into their brand-new home, St. Mary’s Stadium, no one expects a losing streak to turn into something supernatural. Cold whispers echo through locker rooms. Shadows drift across the pitch. The Saints are falling apart—and something ancient is rising.

Zosia and her younger sister, Frania, have always loved soccer, but when their adopted hometown team begins to lose mysteriously, they stumble upon a dark secret buried beneath the stadium. With the help of retired soccer legend and secret ghost hunter Gordon Strachan, the sisters embark on a thrilling mission: to break the curse, uncover a hidden conspiracy, and save their beloved club.

But there’s more than ghosts haunting St. Mary’s. A powerful business interest is hiding something—something that could change the city’s history forever.
