TheGhost Team is pushed to their limits as shadows begin to move, sounds are heard, and the threatening existence of the supernatural ends up being nearly tangible.

Resolution and Conclusion
Gradually, the team members begin to think that they might have bitten off more than they can chew. In an unforeseen twist, it's exposed that the expected haunted home's phenomena were simply a prank managed by the farmhouse owner who meant to scare them off his residential or commercial property.
