Legend of the Naked Ghost Page #2

That's so romantic.

I'm such a sucker

for Hollywood love stories.

Well, unfortunately,

Tabitha,

this one has an unhappy

and mysterious ending.

How so, Professor?

So, just days after

that home movie was shot,

the Private Sherwood was

sent to the Pacific Theater.

Unfortunately, his transport

plane was presumed shot down

over water

and never recovered.

My God.

How awful for her.

She must have been

heartbroken.

More than that,

she went into hiding.

She fired all her help

and she became a total recluse.

She locked herself up

in the mansion

that she and Sherwood

had bought each other.

But what happened to her?

Well, Miss Collins, had you read

Griffith's "Haunted Hollywood"

as I asked you to last week,

you'd know the answer to that question.

I read it. I just must

have skipped that chapter.

I see. All right. Well, I probably

should refresh everyone anyway

as we're going to be spending

the night in her mansion tomorrow.

What? But I thought

that was unobtainable.

Mike, when you and the others

signed up for advanced psychokinesis,

it was the study ESP,

spiritualism,

and, most certainly,

ghostly phenomenon.

- So?

- So despite the fact that this university

is run by

antiquated ghouls,

you're probably not

very likely

to run into any ghosts

here on campus.

Then we're in.

Yes, I did work some magic

and so, we have access

as of tomorrow.

But wait.

What happened to her?

Well, that's just it.

Nobody knows.

When the relatives finally

broke down the doors,

all they found were cobwebs,

some unopened mail,

and this handwritten note

by her.

Which said?

Right. This is just a copy,

you understand?

What's it say?

"My dearest Peter,

I will never let anyone

"break the sanctity

of our honeymoon home.

"I await your return.

"Love forever, Gail."

- Oh. That's so sad.

- Makes me want to cry.

According to the relatives, the only

crying was for help once night fell

and the evil spirit of

Gail Evelyn manifested.

Wait, wait.

You mean this house

is haunted for real?

By a missing-in-action

movie star no less.

The house has been on

the market for more than 60 years

and no one's been able

to spend more than

one or two nights here

without running in terror.

And this is where we're spending

the weekend, you say?

I expect everyone to be

in the quad parking lot

at 2:
00 p.m. sharp.

Bring food and your own

pillow if you want

and anything else you think

you might need to survive.

You mean like a crucifix

and holy water?

Couldn't hurt.

Always better to be safe

than sorry.

- We've got them this time...

- Jawohl, Herr Kommandant!

They have spotted us.

Fire all cannons.

What are you doing

in there?
