However, finding a naked dead man in Peggy''s freezer wasn''t exactly the best way to endear him police Lieutenant Candice Gull who was already annoyed with him butting in on her investigations. CR must figure out who really murdered the naked guy and why before he is either thrown in jail or off a pier at low tide.

Gwen and Noah bought a historic home in Hertford, North Carolina in the hope of having an adventure. It seems they found exactly what they were looking for. Noah stepped inside the closet and immediately started coughing. "It''s a tomb in here! This place hasn''t seen the light of day in years." He paused. "But wait a minute... what do we have here?" He lifted the table and emerged back into the bedroom with it. With a hearty blow, he sent a cloud of ancient dust scattering into the air, sending Gwen into a fit of coughing. "Noah!" she exclaimed, waving a hand in front of her face and covering the champagne glasses. "What on earth are you doing? That is champagne abuse." But he wasn''t listening. His eyes were wide with discovery. "Look, Gwen. It''s a Ouija board or a Ouija table by the looks of it. I have never seen one like this before." "A what?" "A Ouija board. You never played with one as a kid? It''s a fortune-telling game." Gwen peered curiously at the dust-covered board. "It certainly looks ancient enough." Noah inspected it closer, his fingers tracing the markings on the side. "Hey, this Ouija board looks like one of the originals! Look-it''s got the date on here. 1894. That is the same date as the house was built! I wonder what it was doing stuck in there?" Indeed, what was a mysterious Ouija board doing hidden in that closet? Gwen and Noah follow the trail of clues and come to a surprising discovery which may answer many questions and bring closure to one family who have suffered for over a hundred years. That is, if they can figure it out.
