Here is a look at the story of Lantern Hill, as stated on Sullivan Movies.com:

A spellbinding ghost story unfolds when 12-year-old Jane Stuart discovers that her mysterious father (Sam Waterston), whom her family has tried to convince her is dead, resurfaces to reconcile his troubled past. She discovers a kind man, genuinely interested in both her welfare and her mother’s. With the assistance of a powerful mystic (Colleen Dewhurst), Jane resolves to reunite her parents, despite the horrible forces that stand in her way.
