A group of guests are invited to a séance at a gloomy, isolated castle rumored to be haunted. As the night progresses, supernatural occurrences and apparent ghosts terrify the assembled party. However, a detective among them begins to suspect that the hauntings are an elaborate mask for a more earthly crime—perhaps a murder plot—and must unravel the mystery before the real horror takes place.
