Today on the grave cops, the Dead House, a age, Andy Hopkins learned that he was a beacon to spirits, not all of which were kind.

Some were intent on frightening them and forcing them out of their home.

In this house, he spent nights cowering in the shadows as they stalked the hallways.

Knights spent wondering whether an unseen footstep or force would come his way to scare
