The ghost of a former lodge owner begins to haunt his lodge in British Columbia and Martin, Diana, and Java must find a way to vanquish him when Diana is possessed by the spirit.
General Tropes:
- Bittersweet Ending: While Philus Blackwater is trapped once more and Diana is freed from his possession, the Blackwater Hostel has to be shut down due to being unsafe.
- Demonic Possession: Diana ends up possessed by the ghost of Philus Blackwater.
- "Eureka!" Moment: Martin has one when he realizes that, if taking a picture of the person Philus is possessing won't work, he needs to take a picture of the ghost's true likeness: his reflection.
- Go-Go Enslavement: After taking control of her body, Philus has Diana wear a dress from his time period.
- Homage: To The Shining.
- The Mirror Shows Your True Self: Not a mirror, but Philus' true form can be seen in the polished floor.
- "No. Just… No" Reaction: When Diana asks why can't Java be the bait to attract the ghost, Java responds that he won't and that he isn't stupid.
- Rule of Three: Martin tries to capture the ghost three times. The first two attempts fail but succeeds at the third.
- Screw This, I'm Out of Here!: The poor hostel owner leaves when she finds the whole paranormal stuff way too much.
- Spooky Photographs: Even before his ghost was released from the picture, Blackwater's photo was not friendly-looking at all.
- Vengeful Ghost: The ghost of Philus Blackwater, who terrorizes the hostel that once belonged to him.
