What are you two doing here?!" A voice boomed. Kurt and Blaine turned around to see a short man behind them.

"You are not supposed to be here this is unspeakable! Unspeakable! You have to leave!"

"Who is that?" Blaine asked

"Yeah, and why does she look like our friend?"

"That is none of your concern. Now go on, get out of here; it's way past your bedtime!"

"Bedtime!" Kurt cocked his eyebrow, "I'm 18, and he's 17! Now tell us, who is she!"

"Her name is Elizabeth!" A woman said, and she was wearing a long apron and holding a tray of cookies.

"Are you hungry? Do you want cookies?"

"I'll never turn down a cookie," Blaine said as he and Kurt reached for the cookies.

"They don't get cookies; they're trespassers! This is none of their concern!"

"Yes, it is their concern; they're involved!"

"What do you mean?" Kurt asked. Before the woman could answer, they heard a creak on the door.

"Hide! Hide now!" The woman said and guided Kurt and Blaine behind a dusty couch. Ramsley came downstairs.

"Mr. Hummel and his companion are not in their rooms. Have you seen them?"

"Who?"

"Who? One of the guests who weren't supposed to be with her, including her brainless lover!"

"Oh, now he says it," Blaine said; Kurt shushed him.

"I swear if I had to listen to another word from that bumbling fool, I would have burst!"

"I really don't think I like this guy...." Kurt whispered

"Did the gypsy woman not say she would come alone!" If you find the two missing guests, bring them to me."

"Of course, sir." They said bowing

"The final arrangements have been made." Ramsley said as he faded into the darkness, "nothing further will interfere with the master's plan," Ramsley said.

"It's clear you may come out." The woman said.

"Did that years ago." Kurt joked, crawling from behind the couch.

"What's going on? What is he talking about, the master's plan?" Blaine asked

"Yeah, and what did he do to my brother?"

"Calm down, boy I'm sure he's fine!"

"You must have been a joy at parties," Blaine muttered.

"What's the master's plan?" Kurt asked.

"In able to tell you that, we must first tell you about her." The woman said, pointing to the portrait of the Rachel look-alike.

Finn continued walking through the never-ending doors, trying to find a way out, when he heard a voice. It sounded like a woman.

"Oh, thank God! Listen, I don't know what's going on, I'm lost, and I'm sorry if I sound freaked out, but that's because the mirror back there kinda messed with me. I was supposed to talk with Mr. Gracey, but I got stuck behind the bookshelf." He said, walking into a room that looked like Kurt would have decorated it. Then he heard the woman's voice again.

"Goblins and ghoulies from last Halloween, awaken the spirits with your tambourine."

"Okay, I hear you, but I don't see you. Where are you?"

"I am Madame Leota. Seer of all, the voice of spirits." Finn's eyes went wide as Madame Leota was just a head inside of a crystal ball. "Whom do you seek?" At that time, a chair zoomed into the room and forced Finn to sit in it.

"What the, hey let me go!"

"Silence! Whom do you seek?"

"I am seeking a way out, you crazy 8-ball!"

"Then you must look within."

"I don't want to look within; I want to look without. Are you deaf?!"

"There's great evil in this house, a devil's curse, and it seeks to destroy you."

"Why would something seek to destroy me? Look, I'm just on vacation and trying to find my way out of here!"

"Dark spirits from the grave come forth. Lift us from the black and show us the way back."

"Dark spirits?! I don't think so!"

"Lift us. Lift us to the light and lead us to this stormy night!" Leota said, and the table and chair began to levitate and spin.

"What the hell?! Hey, put me down! I'd like to stay on the ground! Can I stay on the ground?!"

"Evil and darkness have fallen this night, but now to survive, you must gain new sight."

"Yeah, well, first, I must gain new underwear!"

"Only the light will lead the way. Follow it and find your way home. Go, Mr. Hudson, everyone you love is at stake! Your very life is at stake. Break the curse. There is no escape for you unless you undo this spell. Go, Mr. Hudson, save yourself, save your loved ones! Release her. Release us all!"

"Oh, I'm gonna be sick, I'm gonna be sick!"

The chair and table finally dropped to the ground.

"I'm getting out of here!" Finn ran out screaming and threw up from the queasiness.

"That's it, screw this. I'm done!" He exclaimed, running.

"Finn!" He looked up and saw Kurt and Blaine with the two servants.

"Kurt, Blaine! Let's find Rachel. We're getting out of here!"

"But Finn, we have a problem!" Kurt exclaimed

"What? Because of the rain, we'll get a little wet! Let's just find Rachel and get out of here!"

"I'm afraid she can't leave!" The short man said

"Why not?" Finn asked with his arms crossed, and the man appeared behind him.

"Because she can't!"

"What the hell! Where did you come from?! You know, never mind; I'm just having more hallucinations."

"Finn, they're ghosts!" Blaine said

"They're not ghosts. We're just hallucinating from dinner; it was the chicken or something it didn't taste right."

"Hey!" The woman exclaimed and moved towards Finn. "It wasn't the chicken!"

"Okay, it wasn't the chicken! But we're still leaving!"

"But Finn, we have to help them!"

"You can't help ghosts, Kurt!"

"But we have to help them break the curse!" Blaine said

"Why are we talking about this curse again? Did you talk to that floating head in the ball?"

"He's seen the gypsy woman! We have to go back and see her," The woman exclaimed

"Go back?! I'm not going back there!"

"But Finn-"

"No, Blaine! Do you have any idea what I've been through? I was trapped behind the wall, and there was this mirror that made me look dead, then that crazy gypsy chick made me float and spin, so I'm not going back; forget it, Casper!"

"But Rachel's in trouble!" Kurt exclaimed. This caught Finn's attention.

"What kind of trouble?"

"Come on." Kurt grabbed Finn's hand and guided him to the attic where the portrait was.

"Rachel..."
