And Bones isn’t the only ghost lurking in the graveyard – there’s a whole pub full of them! The Halfway House is a place for lost souls, trapped under a curse.

Sid and her friend Zen team up to help the ghosts solve the mysteries from their past lives. But someone’s not happy about them breaking the curse…
