The Boxcar Children are on a mission to restore a historic castle. But eerie lights, haunting music, and ghostly faces in the windows suggest something supernatural. Are these signs of a haunting, or is there a more earthly explanation? As the Aldens delve deeper, they must unravel the truth behind the castle's chilling secrets. Will they uncover the mystery, or will the castle's past remain shrouded in darkness?
