TRICK OR POSSESS

Every Halloween, Wisp, the ghost of the old house on Hollow Lane, needs 13 offerings on the porch by midnight or fades into static for good. Nobody knocks on a haunted house anymore... so borrow a trick-or-treater and go door to door yourself.

HOW IT WORKS

- POSSESSION: float into a trick-or-treater to borrow their body. Kids only put up with you for so long. Watch their heartbeat.

- DIALOGUE: knock, and each neighbour drops a hint. Answer on the ouija board: "Trick or treat!", a joke, or Wisp's own voice crackling through the static.

- OFFERING: bring the candy back to Jack, the talking jack-o'-lantern on your porch.

- STATIC: out of a body you're just a radio signal. Stray too far from home and you fade into noise. And stay out of Gus's flashlight. He's a ghost hunter. Mostly he's the mailman.

There's a Halloween secret hidden on Hollow Lane. Jack might help, if you keep talking to him.

A night lasts about 4½ minutes.
