Twelve-year old Emma Blackburn is less than excited when her father announces that the family is going to go into the ghost hunting business. "Just like on TV!" he gushes. She doesn't believe in ghosts and would rather die than have her friends find out what insanity her family is planning. Her twin brother Edgar, on the other is hand, is thrilled. He can't wait to get his hands on some that high-tech ghost hunting equipment like infrared cameras, EMF meters, and digital recorders designed to pick up ghostly voices. Unfortunately for the Blackburn family, ghost hunting doesn't turn out to be quite as easy as it looked on TV. After moving into the Barred Owl Farm, they quickly discover that ghosts can be far more dangerous than they ever imagined!
