Colonial Williamsburg has secrets. During the holidays, Ellen, Tanya, and Sue want to go to the most Christmassy town in America, which Google says is Williamsburg, Virginia. While they're enjoying the magnificent light display at Busch Gardens and touring Colonial Williamsburg, Yorktown, and Jamestown, they sense someone following them. They quickly realize the creeper is not among the living. At first, their efforts to communicate with this unknown entity provide no answers. Little do they know that he will share his message on his own terms, in his own way. The unsettling truth he shares will rock their world, but it may give them a chance to bring peace to dozens of American Revolutionary War heroes who have been lost for centuries--that is, if they can convince the creeper that they are on his side. If you can't get enough of Karen White, Heather Graham, Bobbie Holmes, or Jana Deleon, then this "perfect mix of fun and scary" paranormal mystery is for you!

Logan shouted. "Haha, you noobs," he said, pointing at the other kids playing nearby on the playground. "We've got diamonds and you dooooon't!""Oh boy," Aya said. "Yeah..." Owen agreed. He watched as Henry and Logan stood together talking about the diamond pickaxes they were planning to make. "Hey," Aya snapped her fingers twice next to Owen's ear. "Wiring?""Oh." Owen examined the right side of the doorframe, where Redstone wiring ran to a dispenser on top of the wall. Aya was better at this stuff than Owen. She was probably only asking to be nice. "Looks good," he said and then pointed her phone up at the dispenser. "But what is that--""Great!" Aya grabbed back her phone as Owen watched it go. "Hey Logan!"The boy turned, looking confused. "What?""That's not a lot of diamonds. That's nothing. I've been collecting a ton of diamonds," she said. "Here." Aya tapped on her phone to invite Logan and Henry to the buildplate for the fort. "I put them all in this chest," she said. "Take a look."Logan raised an eyebrow at Henry and then walked toward Aya. Henry trailed behind, looking sideways at Owen. "You don't have diamonds," Logan said to Aya. "You have to do lots of adventures, and you don't really--"Aya snickered and gestured at the chest in the center of the walled area. "Well then, how did all these diamonds get in this chest?" Logan came marching toward the double-doors and the wooden box past them. He stepped onto the block right in front of the doors which compressed slightly as he did. "That's a pressure plate--" Owen started to say.And then the dispenser overhead spat out a stream of lava right over Logan's head. It flowed over him and pooled on the ground at his feet. Aya cackled. "Hey!" Logan said. His character had 'died,' and he'd been kicked off of the buildplate and could no longer see the fort. "Hey! You--" Aya couldn't stop laughing. Even Owen sniggered. "Whatever..." Logan said, trying not to look annoyed. "I knew you didn't have diamonds anyway!"Aya was too busy laughing to bother with a comeback. The boys stomped away as Aya slowly came back to her senses. "Oh, man!" she said finally. "I love this game."
