When they arrive at the farmhouse, owner Charles (James D. Douglas) denies having sent the letter, and claims that the the scarecrow burned up in a fire years ago. Knowing the cursed antiques cannot be destroyed, the cousins decide to snoop around. They are befriended by Marge (Patricia Phillips), owner of the local inn, who offers them lodging.
