Tonight, our case takes us to one of the oldest and eeriest parts of town: the Misty Hollow Cemetery. Locals say that after dark, strange lantern lights weave between the headstones , and whispers drift through the graves . Some even claim to see a shadowy figure - the ghost of the old gravekeeper himself. Is it really the "Gravekeeper", a spirit guiding the dead? Or is something else moving in the darkness? We’ll find 3 clues to solve the case together, and by the end, we’ll have enough clues to figure it out together!

Today, our case takes us just outside town, to the old covered bridge that spans Hollow Creek. For over a century, travellers have sworn the bridge’s lanterns light their way. But lately? Something strange is happening. The lanterns go out — one by one — as people cross the bridge, leaving them in complete darkness. Is it the work of the Lantern Keeper, a ghostly watchman from Misty Hollow’s past? Or is something else snuffing out the light? Grab your detective hats, and let’s solve this mystery together. We'll need to discover three clues, and by the end, we’ll have enough clues to figure it out together!

Tonight, our case takes us inside the tallest, oldest building in town — the cathedral. For weeks, neighbors have reported phantom organ notes, a glowing angel figure in the stained glass, and even a soft, angelic voice humming in the rafters. Well, detective, it’s up to us to find the truth. We’ll collect three clues, and at the end, we’ll solve this mystery together.

Today’s mystery takes us deep underground… beneath the quiet hills of Misty Hollow… to a place long abandoned. The Misty Hollow Mines were sealed off years ago, after the last ore cart rolled to a stop. But now? Locals are hearing whispers echoing through the rocks at night. Glowing lights drifting past the mine entrance. And something… moving in the tunnels. Is it a restless spirit? A shadow miner still digging for gold? Or something stranger still? We’ll gather three clues and see if we can crack the case before the mine seals us in too.

Tonight, we step into a building full of secrets and shadows — the Misty Hollow Museum of Oddities. A place where the strangest artifacts whisper stories of the past… and sometimes, if the legends are true, those whispers turn into footsteps after dark. Display cases unlocked. Objects missing. And a mysterious ticking sound echoing through the halls… when no one’s inside. Could it be a prankster? A clever thief? Or… the return of the museum’s most famous legend? We’ll gather three clues, and you’ll help me solve the case.

Today, we’re rolling into a place that’s been quiet for years… maybe too quiet. That’s right — the Misty Hollow Bowling Alley. Closed a decade ago after the lanes warped during a big storm. But lately, something strange has been happening behind those locked doors. Locals walking past at night say they hear balls rolling down the lanes… pins falling… and eerie sounds drifting through the dark. But no one’s been inside for years. Could it be a restless bowler’s ghost? A mischievous spirit with a love for strikes? Or something even stranger? We’ll gather three clues, and you’ll help solve the mystery.

Today, we’re heading somewhere sweet... but also a little strange. That’s right — we’re investigating a mystery at the Misty Hollow Candy Factory! The machines are jamming. The sugar vats are overflowing. And someone — or something — is leaving a trail of sticky footprints across the cooling floor. Is it a taffy-loving gremlin? A rogue robot gone wild? Or something even weirder? Keep your ears sharp — we’ll collect three clues, and you’ll help me crack the case at the end.

Today we’re off to a place full of rusty secrets and rattling rumors… That’s right — we’re heading into the Misty Hollow Junkyard! Locals say strange clanking sounds have been echoing across the piles of old metal and forgotten machines… at night… when no one’s around. Could it be a ghostly robot? A creature made of gears? Or something even stranger? We’ll gather three clues to crack this case — and you’ll help me solve it at the end.

Today we’re following a trail that’s… dripping with mystery. There’ve been strange lights flickering under the surface of Misty Hollow Bay. Soft glowing orbs… glowing and floating silently just below the water. Even when the shoreline is still, the pier creaks as if someone—or something—is walking across it. Could it be the work of a sea monster? A mysterious creature of the deep? Or something even more mythical? Grab your detective hats, and stay sharp—because as always, we’ll find three clues along the way. Then, we’ll solve the case together at the end.

Today we’re heading to one of the oldest and spookiest places in Misty Hollow… The Hollowbrook Inn!

Today, we’re investigating a case that’s straight out of a movie! The Misty Hollow Theatre has been around for over a hundred years, home to plays, musicals, and even old silent films. But recently, something strange has been happening. Every night, just after the last show ends, a loud knocking sound echoes from the basement.

Today, we’re investigating something huge. High above Misty Hollow, strange stone-like creatures have been spotted moving on the rooftop of Whitmore Tower—the tallest skyscraper in the city!

Listen closely because we'll need to discover three clues and by the end we’ll have enough clues to figure it out together!
