"You are one of a group of thrill-seeking tourists gathered for a Halloween night ghost tour. You huddle close together as the howling wind swirls dead leaves around the five historic houses in the square. Four of them are said to be haunted by murder victims from decades past; the fifth house is where the tour starts and costumed actors re-enact the crimes that created the ghosts.

The Tour Guide, Leda Seway, guides you up the dim creaking staircase of the starting house and turns you loose to explore the upper floor. Screams punctuate the silence as the actors jump out of their hiding places to portray murderers and victims. Suddenly, one more scream is heard and a heavy weight tumbles down the stairs. When the Security Guard, Amahl Quopp, turns on the lights, you can see the lifeless body of Leda sprawled on the lower landing.

Somebody has pushed her—but who? And why?!"
