There's only one problem-the house has a reputation. It's haunted. Fortune doesn't believe in ghosts, but when Cassidy starts seeing a woman in white inside her house and can't determine how she's entering or exiting, Fortune knows she's got to figure out what's going on before things get worse. As Swamp Team 3 takes on the "spirited" case, they dive into a decades-old mystery of love, money, voodoo curses, and a missing woman.
