David Ash, un investigador parapsicológico, es invitado a Edbrook, una remota casa de campo en donde está teniendo lugar un presunto hechizo. Ash goza de reputación por rechazar toda clase de fenómenos sobrenaturales dudosos, habiendo descubierto muchos mediums falsos en el pasado y encontrado invariablemente las causas de los denominados fenómenos psiquicos. El posee profundas razones psicológicas para cuestionar tales hechos inexplicables. Pero en Edbrook hay un misterio que no puede ser explicado fácilmente. En tres alucinantes noches de terror, David Ash se ve forzado no sólo a poner en tela de juicio sus convicciones, sino también a enfrentarse con el enigma de su propio pasado.

**THE JOKE'S ON THEM!** Harry and his brother, Alex, are dying to fit in at Camp Spirit Moon. But the camp has so many weird traditions. Like the goofy camp salute. The odd camp greeting. And the way the old campers love to play jokes on the new campers. Then the jokes start to get really serious. Really creepy. Really scary. First a girl sticks her arm in the campfire. Then a boy jams a pole through his foot. Still, they're just jokes... *aren't* they?
