The protagonist of And Yet is now an accomplished scientist, a theoretical physicist. He got peer-pressured into going into a haunted house with some "friends" as a kid, and he's pretty convinced it is a real physical phenomenon worth investigating, so he's back. His disability plays into it.
It's a good bedtime snack of a story, quickly told. The author has published in a disabled SF anthology, so this is an area of activism for her. Convincing? No, not really. But nice anyway.
