Keeping ahead of the podcasters, Herbie and Violet set sail for the dangerous "Treasure Island," where villain Sebastian Eel's own sister mysteriously vanished years ago. Will they discover the heart of Eerie-on-Sea's mysteries, or will Herbie and Violet be the next to disappear? Like a visit to an old boardwalk arcade, this conclusion to the spooky, fantastical series will leave listeners shivering with fright and delight.
