Plot:

Dr. Eswai is called by Inspector Kruger to a small village to perform an autopsy on a woman
who has died under suspicious circumstances. Despite help from Ruth, the village witch,
Kruger is killed and it is revealed that the dead woman, as well as other villagers, have been
killed by the ghost of Melissa, a young girl who, fed by the hatred of her grieving mother,
Baroness Graps, exacts her revenge on them. Dr. Eswai, along with Monica, a local nurse,
