2. The Ghostly Dinner Guest:  The family has set the table for their Thanksgiving feast, only to find there is an extra place setting. When they attempt to remove it, strange occurrences start to disrupt their meal.  Who is the ghostly dinner guest and why have they chosen this family?  How do the living and the dead make peace by the end of the dinner?  Or do they?

5. The Lost Pilgrims:  During a Thanksgiving play at school, the students are transported back in time to the first Thanksgiving.  They encounter the ghosts of pilgrims that vanished during the first Thanksgiving celebration.  How do they handle the ghostly encounters?  How do they return to present day, and do they help the spirits of the lost pilgrims move on?  Or are the lost souls left restless?
