Kiyoshi is coming to terms with his new psychic abilities and seems to have a new room-mate, the ghost Asami. The rest of the family discuss their various spooky encounters but conclude that there's nothing supernatural going on. Meanwhile Osamu, who has no psychic abilities whatsoever, comes up with a plan to persuade the rest of the skeptical family that the house really is haunted. The house has also attracted a wandering priest who tries desperately to warn the occupants of their dire situation.
