The episode begins with Em recounting a childhood gymnastics humiliation and Christine discovering a trove of old family recipes. The first main story covers the Woodburn Mansion in Dover, Delaware, built in 1790. It was a stop on the Underground Railroad and is known for a ghost that drinks wine from decanters, a phenomenon confirmed by a former governor. Other spirits include a little girl and a minister, with paranormal activity peaking after 11 p.m. The second story details the 1943 discovery of a woman's skeleton in a hollow tree in England. The victim, nicknamed 'Bella,' had been suffocated around 1941. Theories about her identity include a German spy and a Dutch woman, but the skeleton has since vanished, preventing modern DNA testing.
