Patrick Jane shows that the supposedly haunted mansion is using trickery, not actual paranormal activity. Various sounds and apparitions seen in the house are just tricks played by a system of pneumatic tubes that carry sound throughout, and the "ghost" is actually a man hidden in a secret compartment. Someone recently used this system to frighten Alan Foster. Patrick has also discovered secret passages and hiding places used during prohibition to smuggle alcohol into the house. Meanwhile, an agent questions the man who stole items from Foster's pool house, who says he saw Foster's widow in her car near the house that night.
