[ Sighs ] I don't know if we're going to find
any magic four-leaf clovers out here, you guys.
Anything with actual magic only grows in witch gardens.
Kelsey, the real magic is having a good attitude.
Ah! Voilà!
A four-leaf clover... but not quite.
Come on, guys. Get serious.
We have to find a four-leaf clover
if we want to have a chance at winning at the baby casino.
Huh?
Is that a dollhouse?
That's weird.
What's a dollhouse doing out here in the creek?
Hello?! Anybody drop a dollhouse?!
It looks old-timey but fancy.
Dang. Soup spoons andteaspoons?
This house has stuff even my house doesn't have.
Wow, there's even a little guy in here.
Looks like we was trying to paint a picture.
[ Sighs ] Artist block.
I've been there. Keep trying, little guy.
Well, this place has a lot of fancy stuff,
but one thing it doesn't have is a four-leaf clover.
Let's keep looking.
What if we look for two two-leaf clovers, huh?
Math? You know?
♪♪
Craig: Well, that was a bust.
We almost had to leave the baby casino in diapers.
I fought my way out of diapers, and I'm never going back.
Oop! Oof! Craig, what --
It's the dollhouse.
Did either of you bring this back here?
-No. -Nuh-unh.
Then how did it get here?
Maybe someone saw us by it and thought it was ours?
I don't know. That field was empty.
This is a little weird.
This painting is also little and weird.
♪♪
[ All screaming ]
Okay, okay, okay. Aah!
This is crazy.
I mean, there has to be an explanation
for that painting, right?
Yeah. It looks amazing.
He must practice.
No, an explanation
that doesn't involve a doll being alive.
Come on!
This has got to be some sort of prank.
Guys, look! In the window.

So, seriously, what are we gonna do when you shift ends?
We could go to Connor's DJ night.
Ugh, no. First of all, he's deejaying at a barbecue buffet.
And second, Connor is not goth.
He's just sad.
Ugh, I wish we were into more stuff.
No way. We hate stuff.
That's our thing.Oh, right.
Well, I like you.
Yeah, yeah. I like you, too, but this town is so boring.
We need something to do.
[ Doors open, bell dings ]
Witches, we need help!
We -- We -- We found a dollhouse,
and i-i-it has a doll.
And we -- we -- It's following us.
What are you talking about?
Here, kid. Drink this.
It's a, um, calming elixir.
Thank you, kind mystics. What's in it?
Celery, kale, ginger --
And bat's blood.
There's no bat blood.
Okay, so we found this old dollhouse,
and it followed us back to our stump.
And then the doll inside of it painted a picture of me,
and it was really scary.
Hmm, this dollhouse sounds haunted.
Yep, this is a pretty typical case of a dollhouse haunting.
[ All gasp ]
But why is it following us?
Probably because it wants something.
You see, ghosts are kind of like this glob of peanut butter.
They aren't ready to leave this mortal coil,
so they attach themselves to objects from their past
and haunt the living until they get what they want...
or get put through the dishwasher.
Oh, no. We're the living!
For now.
But, yeah, that ghost is gonna keep haunting you
until they get what they want.
Just like ringworm.
Scriggith protect us.
Can't you use your magics to get the ghost
to tell us what it wants?
Uh, communicating with the spirit world
is, like, complicated.
There are a lot of ghosts out there,
and you can't just go sliding into people's DMs,
you know, spiritually speaking.
We'd have to know exactly which ghost you're looking for.
Otherwise, it'd be a waste of our powers.
[ Sighs ]
[ Grunts ]
Now, stay put
and wait for some other kid to find you and get freaked out.
See? We don't need magic to --
[ Gasps ] No, no, no, no, no, no!
[ All screaming ]
[ Breathing heavily ]
If we ever want to hang out at the stump again
without screaming, we need to figure out who this ghost is.
Without screaming?! But how?!
Hmm, I think I know a place
we can find some info on this ghost.
Kelsey: Thanks for helping us out, Stacks.
No problem, Kels.
I love a good ghost story and research.
Now let us enter the Herkleton Library's reference section.
♪♪
Kelsey: What is this ancient machine?
It's a microfilm reader.
It lets you look at old newspaper articles
stored on strips of film.
If there's some info about this ghost, it'll be here.
We'll start at the beginning -- 1902.
Let's see. Someone bought an ox.
Um, it rained for a bit.
Aw, someone's horse got stuck in a hole.
Man, a lot happened back in the day.
This was Herkleton?
There's, like, nothing there.
Man, it must have been boring to be a kid back then.
Who would you hang out with?
Oxen?
Wait. What's that?
It looks just like the dollhouse.
Hmm, it's an article about a family --
Mr. and Mrs. Rawley and their son, Arthur.
Their home was destroyed in a storm,
and nothing was left except a dollhouse.
[ All gasp ]
Ugh, we are not seriously going to this DJ night, are we?
Tabitha, I spend all day hawking smoothies to normie gym dads.
I need to do something.
We have a name!
The ghost's name is Arthur Rawley.
He used to live in Herkleton until --
Until he got ghosted!
But literally!
Witches of the Creek, now that we have a name,
can you please use your powerful powers
to help us communicate with the spirit?
Scaring these kids will be way more fun
that Connor's dumb DJ night.
Yeah, Connor can kick rocks.
Okay, we shall use our powers to conduct a séance.
But harnessing such powerful magic
will require some sacrifices.
M-Me?
[ Laughs evilly ]
No.
Aww. Oh.
Whoa, that is creepy.
Tabby, I think I hate this.
I think I hate these kids.
Courtney: Okay, babies, gather around and make a circle.
Now present your sacrifices.
I'm ready to kick your booooo-ty.
Place them within the circle.
♪♪
[ All whimper ]
To the spirit of Arthur Rawley we must speak,
so we begin this séance in the creek.
Oh, evil doll --
Hey, don't be judgy. We don't know for sure if it's evil.
Oh, you're right.
Oh, morally ambiguous creepy doll,
speak to us if you are so inclined.
If not, a simple knock will do.
"No" is one, and "yes" is two.
Oh, spirit, are you the one they call Arthur Rawley?
[ Knock, knock ]
[ Gasps ] That means yes.
Arthur, tell us, is this your dollhouse?
[ Knock, knock ]
[ Whimpers ]
[ Both chuckle ]
Wait. I got a good one.
Oh, spirit, we beseech thee. Tell us.
When you become a ghost, are you stuck in one pair of clothing,
or can you change outfits?
[ Snickers ] Okay, wait. Wait. Listen to mine.
Spirit, am I the most beautiful witch in the creek?
-No! -Hey.
We're here to find out what this ghost wants.
Arthur, please just tell us why you're haunting us.
Arthur: I want to play.
[ All screaming ]
Are you doing this?Are you doing this?
No! No!
You want to play? Of course.
This dollhouse must have been your only friend.
When you were a kid,
Herkleton was just a couple houses and an ox.
You must have had no one around to play with.
♪♪
Craig, no!
JP: Don't do it!
What the -- What happened to the flashlights?
♪♪
[ All screaming ]
Uh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to scare you.
Well, you went about that terribly!
I'm sorry. I'm just really shy.
You helped the doll when you found my dollhouse yesterday,
and you all seemed so nice.
I was just hoping to play with you.
It's okay, but you could have just told us.
We love playing.
Yeah, we're huge play-heads.
Really?
Most kids don't like playing with dolls.
No way. We'd love to play dolls with you.
Aw, gee. That sounds swell.
Would you like to come play in my house?
Oh-ho-ho, yeah.
My Ben doll has always wanted to be a homemaker.
Wait, so, like, is that kid a ghost or not?
Hope you guys worked up an appetite,
because Ben is gonna cook up some grub in the kitchen.
Uh-oh.
Kelsey: And Obsidian's gonna play some harp. Oops.
Kelsey, you got to be more careful playing.
Spectre spike.
O-Oh, my gosh. I'm so sorry, dude.
JP: Uh-oh, uh, Ben doll started a grease fire again.
[ Growling softly ]
Craig: Aah! Who turned out the lights?
Hey, where are our dolls?
And where'd the dollhouse go?
That kid is gone, too.
Oh, hey.
Where'd that other kid go?
I don't know. Maybe he wasactually a ghost.
Or we're just really annoying to play with.
I guess we'll never know.
