Summary: In Bailey City, the arrival of the Hauntly family at Hauntly Manor Inn raises eyebrows. Madame Hauntly, who enthusiastically supports kids at soccer games, harbors a peculiar secret—she sleeps in the dirt and has unsettling fangs. As the children of Bailey City grow curious, they must uncover the truth behind Madame Hauntly's strange behavior. Is she just an eccentric fan, or is there something more sinister lurking beneath her cheerful exterior? The mystery deepens as the kids delve into the secrets of Hauntly Manor, where nothing is quite as it seems.
