I saw this as "Restless Spirits"...
And no, it has nothing to do with "Groundhog Day."
It involves a 12-year-old girl whose test-pilot father died in a crash a few years back and her kind-but-harried mother has moved on with her life, having fallen in love with another man.
While mom goes off to determine whether the romance is worth pursuing, the daughter is left with a relative (well-played by the versatile Marsha Mason)in seaside Newfoundland.
Some local girls let her in on a secret pond which (legend has it), when the fog rolls in, occasionally becomes haunted.
This leads to an imaginative series of mostly wonderful life-changing adventures for the young woman.
I loved this film.
