Who is this weird new boy who knows things he shouldn't, and might not be what he seems to be? Together they explore Willie’s favorite hideout where mysterious noises and dots of light could mean a ghost.

With the help of new friends and the town witch, Willie solves the ghostly mystery under third base.
