One year a group of kids thought it would be funny to plant some pumpkin seeds in the cemetery. When the spirits returned that year it is said that the spirits inhabited the pumpkins. Floating around the cemetery and town.
This year you and your friends have decided to go to the cemetery. The spirits have returned. You will need to survive the night.
