Episode 69: Ellen Oh's "Spirit Hunters"

12-year-old Harper Raine and her family have moved from New York City to a suburb of Washington, D.C., for a new start. Harper is trying to work through wounds left by a traumatic series of events in her past that harmed her physically, mentally, and emotionally and left her with gaps in her memory. Her parents, however, have unknowingly picked the worst new home for Harper to live in: the Grady House. Harper quickly learns from her new friend Dayo that the house has a bad reputation and a creepy history. When Harper starts experiencing cold spots, hearing strange noises, and having dreams and visions, she wonders if something evil from the house's past is lingering in her family's present. And then there's her little brother's new imaginary friend, who is definitely not imaginary and far from friendly.         Recommended in this episode: Toil and Trouble--Preorder now!
