This issue contains two supernatural stories. "The Ghost Invaders" follows Dan Logan and his bride as they travel to the English village of Charlton, reportedly the most haunted region in England, where good ghosts battle evil spirits for control. A scientist named Dr. Braun creates an invisible statue using a mystical ritual involving the god Tang, intending to use it to gain revenge on those who mocked his frail body, but the statue ultimately breaks free from his control. In the cover story, a man encounters a mysterious witch-woman who commands a giant octopus while cryptically asking if he now knows what she is.
