welcome kids, please have a seat." mayor nesbitt said " We have been having problens at the old fort for nmonths, Ghost sightings cannonfire, and strange noises at night. From what I've read about you, you kids seem to be pretty good at solving mysteries and getting to the bottom of things. Find out why this fort is haunted and put the spirits to rest, and we'll pay you very handsomely. the old fort used to be a big attraction around here, until all this started..

Fred, looking out the window, sees Sheriff Silver and the Deputies discussing something and pointing towards the fog on the outskirts of town... "Mayor, what kind of Big Attractions did the Fort used to be? Was it used for fairs, community events, historic tours? Also, where would we find out about any town folklore?".

it was used for historical tours, war reenactments, things like that. legend says that most of wealthiest townsfolk hid thier belongings in the fort during the war, to protect them from the invading union troops.unfortunately, when the surviving members went back after the war to retrieve thier valuables, they were gone! the treasures today would be worth hundreds of millions, if not billions with the accumuation of interest.' mayor Nesbitt said " as for folklore, chedk the library o waterford street."

"You're welcome Mayor Nesbitt sir." said Shaggy.
Later, the gang left for the hotel. They were exhausted, so they got to the hotel, and went immeadiately to sleep in the hotel room. The gang started going to sleep, when suddenly, they heard a noise coming from their room.

Outside the hotel a group of figures waited in the shadows, they noted where the rooms used by the gang were were and watched as the lights went out one-by-one. "Give 'em half an hour then we'll roll out the welcome wagon for 'em."

dixie finished rehersals for tomorrows show, and headed back to the showboat to rest.. ' once inside she took stock of her finances ' she had exactyly 1600 dollars to her bname, 5 changes of clothes, 3 lipsticks,(all red in color) assorted makeup in a kit, a picture of scooby and her from years ago, and a picture of her abnd her previous owner. 'i'm trying Ma, but things arent what they used to be..' she sighed, looking at this last photo.

Mist began to fill the gang's hotel room, as the acrid smell of smoke reached their nostrils the gang began to stir. Velma was the first to open her eyes to find herself looking at a line of Confederate infantry men pointing bayonets at her. Fred awoke to find a cannon pointed at him, standing behind the cannon he could see the Union gunner ready to light the fuse. Daphne opened her eyes to see a Confederate officer, their sword raised ready to strike. The sounds of battle filled the room, the infantry bayonet charged Velma, the gunner lit the fuse and the gun fired, the officer swung his sword, a fatal blow for sure. The next second they vanished, the smell of war faded and the sounds of battle replaced by Shaggy and Scooby’s snoring.
