As Delaware explores the area he discovers the tragic accident is only the beginning of the dark events taking place here. Guarding the park are demons known as Shadow People. Delaware and his partner, Kelly Bradford, must fend off these soul-stealing monsters if they are to survive the night. While Delaware has his psychic visions to lead him, Kelly relies on special equipment like an EMF counter to track paranormal activity invisible to the naked eye. Together they must explore the remains of the park and unlock all of the dark secrets behind The Seacliff Tragedy.
