The friends investigate the mansion late at night but when Ember's glowing form is seen through a mansion window by a man and his wife passing by they have an accident alerting the police and local news woman Victoria Monroe who is determined to get the story. The girls hide from the police and the reporter using their spacesuit cloaking and discover the mansion is in fact haunted by the ghosts of two alien girls who died there in 1952 during a horrific storm.
