Burlington Books is a commercial publisher. They do not typically offer their full graded readers for free on open websites. However, "verified" does not always mean "free." Here are the only legitimate channels to obtain a verified copy of "The Ghostly Visitors":
The Setting The story takes place in the late 19th century in the English countryside. A young, inexperienced woman is hired by a charming but mysterious gentleman to work as a governess. Her job is to take care of his young nephew and niece, Miles and Flora, who live at a large, isolated country estate called Bly House. The uncle has one strict rule: he does not want to be bothered with any problems—he wants the governess to handle everything herself.
The Arrival The governess arrives at Bly House and meets the housekeeper, Mrs. Grose, and the little girl, Flora. The girl seems perfect—beautiful and well-behaved. Shortly after, the governess receives a letter saying that Miles, the boy, has been expelled from his school for reasons unknown. When Miles arrives, he also appears to be innocent and charming. The governess cannot imagine what he could have done wrong.
The Haunting Begins Soon, strange things start to happen. The governess sees a strange man looking at her from the top of a tower. Later, she sees him looking through a window. She describes the man to Mrs. Grose: he has red hair, wears stylish clothes, and has a cruel face. Mrs. Grose identifies him as Peter Quint, the master’s former valet (servant). Quint is dead—he died in a mysterious accident on the icy road the previous winter. the ghostly visitors burlington books pdf verified
The governess then sees a strange woman in the grounds of the house. Mrs. Grose identifies her as Miss Jessel, the previous governess. Miss Jessel is also dead. Rumors suggest that Peter Quint and Miss Jessel had a scandalous relationship and that they both corrupted the children before they died.
The Battle for the Children The governess becomes convinced that the ghosts of Peter Quint and Miss Jessel have returned to possess Miles and Flora. She believes the children are communicating with the ghosts secretly. She starts to watch the children closely, trying to protect them, but the children act strangely innocent, confusing her.
The Ending The governess tries to force Miles to admit that he can see Peter Quint. She demands he confess why he was expelled from school. Miles finally admits that he said things to other boys that he shouldn't have—things he learned from Peter Quint. Burlington Books is a commercial publisher
As the governess holds Miles, she looks at the window and sees the ghost of Quint looking in, furious. She shields Miles and cries out to the ghost that he has lost his hold on the boy. The ghost disappears. However, when the governess looks down at Miles, she realizes he is not moving. The terror and the struggle have been too much for him. Miles dies in her arms, innocent of true evil but a victim of the ghostly visitors.

To answer the core question: As of this writing, there is no publicly accessible, free, and verified PDF of "The Ghostly Visitors" from Burlington Books on the open web. Burlington protects its copyright aggressively. Any site claiming otherwise is either lying or distributing an illegal copy.
However, the good news is that legal access is still easy and affordable. For the price of a coffee, you can rent or buy a digital version via a school portal, Amazon, or a direct publisher purchase. The peace of mind—knowing you have the complete, accurate, and virus-free text—is invaluable.
Teachers often receive a USB drive or a teacher’s access code that includes printable PDFs of all graded readers for classroom use. If you are a tutor, ask your school’s Burlington representative for access.
Some Burlington Readers are republished as eBooks. While the exact title "The Ghostly Visitors" may be region-specific, search for "Burlington Books graded reader ghosts" on Amazon. The Kindle version is a verified, legal PDF-equivalent.
