Smithy by Amanda Desiree.

In 1974, a group of students join their infamous psychology professor for a groundbreaking study into whether Smithy a chimp, can be taught to have spontaneous communication through sign language. Housed in a run-down mansion in otherwise glamorous Newport, RI, the crew is focused but isolated. When strange and dangerous things start happening, is it that the house is haunted by nefarious ghosts that only Smithy can see, or are the humans paying a price for the consequences of their animal experimentation? -  Library Journal
