While in Virginia investigating a phenomenon known as "ghost lights", Paul and Alva head to Shadow Valley to talk to Ginnie Jacobson, whose two young children, Renata and Gus, have reported seeing the ghost of a Confederate soldier in the woods outside their house while walking home from school. Paul and Alva attempt to convince the kids, who are too scared to even sleep, that the man they saw was not a ghost. As their mother becomes more frustrated with trying to console the kids, Ginnie becomes more frustrated with SQ. The team discovers that because of a rip in a time hole, the worlds of the past and present are starting to intertwine. The two times becoming more and more visible and realistic to one another, which includes Paul being shot with a 140-year-old bullet. In order to prevent the two times from fully merging, Paul and Alva must inform the soldier's ghost of the fates of his family members and finally lay him to rest.
