Movie from my childhood - can you help me remember it?

Years, and YEARS ago I watched a movie in elementary school (I'm in my 30s now so it was a while ago). I think it was a Disney movie but I'm not sure. I can only remember that there was a young boy and a young girl living in a dark mysterious house in the woods, it was a sort of 'scary kids' movie and there was a ghost of some sort who wrote them messages in the fog on the windows. There was also a scary old woman (or man, I'm not sure) who everyone in town was afraid of but the kids ended up getting to know her and she taught them about prisms from the rainbows the light made on her wall. I know it sounds crazy, lol - but this has been driving me insane for days now. Anyone else remember anything about this movie?

Movie from my childhood - can you help me remember it?
I do remember a prism scene in Pollyanna (Disney, 1960) where she and Jimmy go into a crotchity old woman's home and she teaches them about prisms.





Other than that I can't put my finger on the ghost portion of it. The only other movies I remember would be Escape to Witch Mountain (Disney, 1975) and Return to Witch Mountain, where the kids have supernatural powers like telepathy, etc.





Hope this helps...
Reply:Hmmmm. I do remember the scene with the old woman and the rainbows of light on the wall caused by the prism-like crystals on her chandelier (or other lamps). But I cannot recall the film itself. I'll try.
Reply:I know in the movie Pollyanna there was a scary old man who lived in the woods who had tons of prisms, also in that movie there was a old lady Pollyanna would visit and the prisms were hanging on the old ladies lamp shade that sat in front of her bedroom window. I don't know if thats what you looking for but that was the 1st thing that came to mind. I hope you find the movie.
