The team are fascinated, and Jonny suggests using new digital video gear on the Questor II to capture an image.

En route to Nova Scotia in the new Questor II, Jonny, Jessie, and Hadji discover a mysterious island enshrouded in fog with a strange caretaker, supernatural phenomena, and a tragic past.
Plot Summary
Jonny Quest, Jessie Bannon, and Hadji Singh set out en route to Nova Scotia for a lobster dinner in the new Questor II. Hadji promises smooth sailing, but on the way the team are caught in a weather system. Fog envelops the craft as all navigational tools fail; the three hear a woman's shriek in the distance. Turbulent waters throw Jessie overboard as Jonny steers clear of cliffs, and Jessie watches a woman fall from a cliff. Underwater, the woman disappears, and Jessie tries to swim back but is caught in massive waves.
Act One
Jonny ties a lifeline around himself and jumps in, managing to rescue Jessie in the maelstrom. Jessie relates the story of the woman as Jonny notices that the Questor II hasn't sustained much damage and should be in operable condition. As they prepare to disembark, a man approaches and introduces himself as Paul Mornay, the island's only resident. He tells them that the island has a bad reputation for ghosts and hauntings, but invites the team to warm up in the manor if they aren't afraid. As they discuss Dr. Benton Quest's work in the living room, supernatural phenomena begin manifesting, including Ruby, a ghost cat. Mornay reveals that he's an artist, and that the phenomena give him inspiration. In his studio, he divulges the story of Lady Caroline, who through herself off the Widow's Walk nearly two hundred years ago to the day. She could not stand the heartbreak of knowing her fiancé had died at sea, and committed suicide. Jonny thinks it's creepy, though Jessie is intrigued.
The temperature of the room suddenly drops, prompting Hadji to warn of coming disturbances. Lady Caroline appears from a flash of white light and reenacts her death. The team are fascinated, and Jonny suggests using new digital video gear on the Questor II to capture an image. They begin walking in the fog to the docked craft; Ruby the cat materializes and antagonizes Bandit. He chases her to a pond, at which point she fades out, leaving Bandit stranded to doggy-paddle. Jessie climbs a tree and suspends herself from a limb to pick him up when an image of a man with an arm outstretched appears from the water. It lasts for a split second before Jessie's branch slightly breaks. Perturbed, she hastily picks up Bandit and joins the others. They set up the camera to automatically activate when Caroline appears as Jessie reflects on her death in the bedroom. She reads a letter from her lover, which prompts Caroline to possess her and take her to the Widow's Walk. Jonny tries to bring her down, but she pushes him off.
Act Two
Hadji is barely able to pull Jonny up from the ledge he hangs on. He reveals that Jessie took off with Mornay in close pursuit. Jonny and Hadji explore Mornay's studio and find a portrait of what must be Jean, Caroline's lover (who looks like an older version of Jonny).
