Ze wil voor eens en altijd bewijzen dat de paranormale wereld daadwerkelijk bestaat - om te beginnen aan haar broodnuchtere collega Kevin, die ze meesleurt naar de plek waar ooit kasteel De Nevelhorst stond.

Each story—and two poems—feature mythical, mystical, and otherwise unexplainable beings that change the course of history.
