On Halloween night, 1939, Maxwell and Miranda MacAbree threw their first MacAbree Manor Masquerade Ball... and their last.

At the height of the festivities, MacAbree Manor was struck by lightning and burned to the ground, taking with it the lives of all one hundred and thirty-two souls within.

For the next seventy years, the mischievous spirits of the MacAbrees and their phantom guests returned to the mansion's ruins every Halloween to bring the MacAbree Manor Masquerade Ball back from the grave!
