The Riddle House in Palm Beach County, Florida, was moved from its original location in West Palm Beach to #Yesteryear Village in Royal Palm Beach. Originally serving as a funeral parlor, the house became privately owned by Karl Riddle in the 1920s. The house is purported to be haunted by the #spirit of Joseph, who was one of Riddle's employees and committed suicide by hanging in the attic. His #ghost is alleged to dislike men and often attack them.
Zak, Nick, and Aaron travel to Florida to investigate the Riddle House, a private residence. It was built in 1905 in downtown West Palm Beach originally as a place called the "#Gatekeeper's Cottage" and originally served as a home to the overseers of the woodlawn cemetery across the street. The entire house had since actually moved a few miles down a road from where it was first built to be where it stands today in a town called #Yesteryear Village. At its new site, it was first used as a funeral parlor, but is now used as a private residence for one John Riddle.

Zak meets with Mr. Riddle of the Riddle House, and also with Steve Carr, someone who assisted with the move of the house from its original location. Riddle tells Zak that his uncle Sam, the superintendent of the cemetery, came and lived in the house in 1920, and had written in his diary about how the stairs in the house would creak with such noise that it sounded like somebody dragging a chain up the steps. Carr says that noticeable paranormal events that occurred while the house was being reconstructed included that ladders would always be in different places or tipped over or missing the next morning. Riddle then tells the history of the house that seems to be the spark of the ghostly occurrences: Early on in the Great #Depression (the early 1900's) when the house was in West Palm Beach, a man named Joseph came around and got a job as hired help for Carl Riddle, doing handiwork around the #house. He was supposedly having some financial trouble and the domestic problems that come with that, which drove him to hang himself up in the attic. One climbs up and kicks away a ladder to hang oneself; The connection with the ghostly occurrences involving the ladders becomes clear upon hearing this. Carr then relates that the #paranormal encounters only escalated from there. There was this one incident where a 2x4 board was hurled across from one end of a room to strike a guy on the head right next to him.

As Zak #investigates Yesteryear Village, he discovers that ghosts and paranormal occurrences are present throughout all the village, not just the Riddle house, leading him to call it as equal to the "village of the dead". Carr reports that a building constructed opposite the Riddle house that belonged to a civil-war captain caused the shared #paranormal #activity between them to escalate, where things would be discovered broken in one building one day and things would be discovered broken in the other building the following day. Barry Reed, a former Chief of Security of #Yesteryear Village, reports that he would often get reports from witnesses about images of lights and people going across the windows in the Riddle House. Marilyn Rhinehart reports that the house makes noises, people's hair gets touched or grabbed, and when you go through each room you get a different #feeling, such as being watched.

Riddle reports that there's been several sightings of a person, usually a female in a white period dress and accompanied by a white afghan #dog, walking around the building and #dissipating in mid-air. A more astounding event transpired some time back: People had been able to access through the local historical society photographs of this house dating back to before the turn of the century, and were arranging an event in town to unveil these photographs around the house. The people working here saw a fairly young couple in their late thirties walking through the area. They were impeccably dressed in victorian-era costumes. When the #unveiling process for the photos was announced, the people working here looked for this couple, believing they would make an excellent-looking backdrop for the event's modern-day cameras, but they were nowhere to be found in town. However, one of the old photographs of the house depicted the very people witnessed walking here.

Rhinehart warns Zak to stay out of the kids room upstairs in the Riddle House, filled with toys and the like. Carr also says that if one wants to draw out paranormal activity, bring an American flag into the house, because flags always disappear from the closets they're stored in. Zak then arranges for two tours of the house prior to their #lockdown, the first by the village curator Jennifer Irsay knowledgeable about the house, the second by #psychic #medium Sheila
