Plot[]
Reports of a man going missing after entering a 'haunted' mansion have been turning up, so Brooklyn and the Player see if they can find anything there. The rumors turned out to be true, because they found the dead body of landlord Sydney Chambers with a wooden stake in his left eye. Inside the mansion, the duo found a clue that led them to suspect Julia's mother, businesswoman Zoey Indigo. Later, they also suspected housewife Violet Rose and witch Danita Darkroot, before Diana told the detectives that the victim was last seen in a bar called Dakota's Knockouts.
The bar owner Diego Dakota was questioned, saying that many people hated Sydney for 'ruining' their lives, as well as finding out that the victim was Diego's landlord and the one who owns his bar. Next, the duo suspected paranormal analyst Roy Walsh, who was in strong believe that the mansion the victim was found in is haunted, as well as thinking that an angry spirit killed him. Afterward, the duo decided to have a look at the mansion again, but as soon as they entered it, a pale female looking spirit appear in front of them, screaming very weird noises before Roy comes into the room and captures the ghost in one of his strange devices. Out of shock, the detectives decided to check out the bar again before going back into the mansion that was now confirmed to be haunted. Eventually, Danita Darkroot was arrested for killing Sydney Chambers.
She confessed to the crime and said that she was proud of killing him. When asked why, she said that he was going to destroy her family's biggest posession. She then explained that the haunted mansion belonged to her family hundreds of years ago, and Sydney was going to somehow destroy it. The detectives asked what his plans were, but Danita said that she didn't know what he was going to do, she only knew that something bad would happen if a creature like him got hold of the mansion. The duo asked why she called him a 'creature', followed by her explaining that her family's mortal enemies were always creatures from the dark forest, vampires. She was convinced that the victim was a vampire so she decided to get rid of him vampire hunter style. The detectives were disturbed by Danita's motive, so they sent her to court. There, Judge Blade sentenced her to 25 years of treatment in a psychiatric hospital.
After a long case filled with ghosts, century old witch families and presumed vampires, the team decided to take a small break, until Diana asked Brooklyn and the Player if she could talk with one of their suspects. They asked her why she wanted to, and she said that she was always interested in anything paranormal so she wanted to talk to paranormal analyst Roy Walsh and ask him about the ghost encounter. He showed her the machine he used to capture the ghost that the duo encountered during their investigation, and she was fascinated by the advanced technology. Bar owner Diego Dakota also wanted to see the detectives again. He wanted to thank them for solving the murder, but he still needed help with something. They helped him and he gave them a free meal.
Later, Chief Rose asked the duo if they could ask around if anyone noticed any strange activities in town after the incident with The Soulbound Shadows, so they asked his mother Violet. She said that she noticed some weird noises that sounded like animal howls coming from the haunted mansion. There, they found a piece of paper that said that the anarchists would start recruiting younger people, especially students that go to Soulbound Highschool. They inform the chief about this and he said that he will contact the principal of the school and tell the team the result. The next day, Anthony and the Player recieved a call from the principal of the highschool, not informing them about the anarchist, but telling them that a murder was committed at the school.
