Supernatural/Modern AU. Finding three mysteriously dead teens causes Sheriff Snotlout Jorgensen to call in his cousin and his band of supernatural investigators. Unexpectedly finding themselves in the past, Hiccup has to solve the mystery or they will all share the dead teens fate. Sequel to 'The Spectre of Raven Point' A/N: Halloween again and I couldn't resist the opportunity to deploy paranormal investigator Hiccup Haddock once more. Of course, there are no more spooky lighthouses in need of exorcism but a spooky house, some mysterious murders and a century-old wrong should keep him busy. Enjoy!
