But when the crew gets a lead on a possible ghost-sighting at Castillo San Marcos, they have to act fast. Armed with a map and equipment to measure paranormal activity, they navigate through dark and gloomy tunnels in search of a secret chamber.

However, their exploration is halted by a piercing scream that stops them dead in their tracks. They quickly realize they’re out of their league–and one member short.
