For an appetizer, Emily's ghost story that spans generations, years, and reincarnations! As a main course, some kids cruising for a halloween fright get more than they bargained for when they mess with native spirits. And for dessert, enjoy not a ghost story but a horrifying reminder that sometimes, it's not ghosts we need to be afraid of, but our fucking crazy neighbor, Harold.
