Claire and Luna pack their bags for Scotland, expecting a magical vacation with Grandy, their five-star witch grandmother. The ancient Glenn Bly castle awaits them, but this trip has a purpose beyond sightseeing. A terrifying ghost roams the castle halls, and the three witches must drive it out. The twins discover Glenn Bly holds more secrets than they anticipated. Daphne lives in the castle with her grandfather Mac, but she acts suspicious and won't reveal what she knows. The Shrillingbirds, who own the property but live elsewhere, suddenly decide they want to move into Glenn Bly permanently. Then Claire and Luna encounter the ghost himself. Meeting the spirit face to face changes everything. The twins realize the situation involves more than a simple haunting. As they dig deeper into the mystery surrounding Glenn Bly castle, they must navigate the complex relationships between Daphne, Mac, and the demanding Shrillingbirds while uncovering the truth about their ghostly adversary.
