"The Specters of Carteret Castle" follows a woman traveling to England who learns the Carteret family has been cursed for over 300 years by an unseen fiend, with family members dying under mysterious circumstances. Another story features a jungle adventure in which a woman named Keeta, whose father was a witch-doctor killed by a tribe, seeks revenge by using a cursed tree to destroy those responsible, though the tree demands a living sacrifice and threatens to claim her as well. The issue also includes "The Champ," a tale of a boxer facing a supernatural opponent, and additional supernatural-themed stories characteristic of the "Forbidden Worlds" series' exploration of the paranormal.
When Nancy and Jim arrive at the ancient and cursed Carteret Castle, they discover that for over three centuries the family has been haunted by vengeful spirits—born from a murderous act committed in 1632 by one of two brothers. As the supernatural terror escalates and Uncle Horace falls victim to spectral forces, Nancy realizes her only hope may lie with the ghost of the wronged brother, who appears determined to protect her from his murderous sibling's relentless vengeance. With help from London's Society for Psychic Research and mysterious protective talismans, Nancy and Jim must uncover the truth behind the curse before the malevolent spirit claims another victim.

When the hex proves devastatingly effective, Shari inherits a fortune—but then tries to cheat the Widow out of her promised share, setting in motion a supernatural reckoning that reaches beyond the grave itself.
Geologist Barry Jones returns from Sumatra with a horrifying tale: his partner Pete Benson vanished without a trace near a massive, ancient tree, and the native woman Keeta holds dark secrets about what lurks beneath its roots.

Now Barry must descend into the tree's lair and face an impossible choice if he hopes to survive.
