Jack Skellington was escorted by the ghost host to the seance room.

Mr. M. tells the Pumpkin King. "You have five minutes to talk to the gypsy. Ruby and Dom are preparing the ghosts in the attic. For your meeting and greeting."

Jack comments. "Strange and unusual. You sound like you own the mansion."

The Ghost Host clarified. "Master Gracey passed his home to me after his untimely death. It's in his will."

The Pumpkin King understood. Mr. M. left the two alone.

Jack walks forward to the crystal ball. He was expressing a grim. Madame Leota was not cheerful to see him. The gypsy in the crystal ball remarks. "I guess the foolish hero of yourself is going to ask me questions...again..."

The Pumpkin King fingers one finger bone. "I am only querying one question." Jack added, being careful over the ghost host's hearing. "Did a phantom keep you from contacting me?!" The gypsy sighed in relief.

They are on the same picture.

Madame Leota answered. "Yes...I just cannot tell you who..."

The Pumpkin King just nodded. Jack told the gypsy. "I would be bone-chilled if you recite some riddles of yours."

Madame Leota was all right with that. The gypsy in the crystal ball mentions. "You are not mistaken about evil spirits. Let me say one kind of info. that may give you a hint...Sin and Madness combined is a result of the Haunted Mansion..."

And then, Madame Leota recited her favorite quotes.

Horntoads and lizards, fiddle and strum;
Please answer the roll by beating a drum!

The drums plays itself.

Goblins and ghoulies from last Halloween.
Awaken the spirits with your tambourine!

The tambourine rattles on. Sounding beautiful.

Wizards and witches, wherever you dwell,
Gives us a hint by ringing a bell!

The bell rang several times.

Harpies and furies, old friends and new.
Blow on a horn so we'll know that it's you!

The trumpet horn blew.

Creepies and crawlers, toads in a pond.
Let there be music from regions beyond!

The four instruments played all at once. It is indeed a beautiful eerie music.

Rap on a table; it's time to respond.
Sends us a message from somewhere beyond!

Mr. M. announced the Pumpkin King. "Your five minutes are up, Jack!"

The gypsy in the crystal ball glimpsed at the ghost host. The Pumpkin King got reminded. Jack has no choice. "Oh. Very well then." The Pumpkin King added, asking. "Up to the attic, Mr. M?"

The ghost host was smiled. "That's right." Mr. M. added, told him. "We are off to upstairs, Mr. Skellington. Come."

The ghost host left the seance room. The Pumpkin King glanced at Madame Leota. The gypsy in the crystal ball assured him. "You got what you came back for. Move on, Jack." The Pumpkin King got her self-confident. Jack Skellington scurried off with Mr. M.

As the story of his last visit, the Pumpkin King hears the scary information about Constance Hatchaway. Then, no one told him about a phantom who carries a gift.
