The Told You There Was No Coming Back
Vincent screamed when he saw us - me - again. After killing me, he'd expected me to stay dead. A reasonable assumption, don't you think? But my Shadow and I, well, we're not reasonable people. - Ryan Shearin, Risen
They Lied
Here's what tou've been waiting for: the way back to the Skinlands. Here's what you'll need to get there. Here's the terrible price that, no matter what, you'll have to pay.

The abandoned lover, waiting for her paramour to return, only to die, alone. Now she waits in her house forever.
The murdered family, killed in a spree so violent their spirits couldn’t pass on to the hereafter, now wreaking an untampered revenge on anyone they find.
The serial killer, who never made his tally complete in life, now determined to possess the bodies of the living to continue his gruesome campaign.
These ghosts, and more, haunt our world. They watch us, they torment us, they play with us, they find themselves locked in Sisyphean cycles, where the only respite comes through the haunting of the living.
It is our role to hunt these spirits down. Some believe we’re laying them to a deserved rest. Others hunt for the renown and to put down the homicidal dead. Others believe they’re doing God’s work, or with every hunt, their knowledge of the paranormal world increases.
We are ghost hunters, and regardless of our motives, it is our task to ensure the dead may no longer torture the living.
