Sweet Apple Acres had always been filled with secrets, even during its inception almost a hundred years ago. Apple Bloom had heard the tales passed down to her from Granny Smith, but never thought anything of them. At least not before the screams near the barn began to ring out through the night. When the Cutie Mark Crusaders stay over at the farm for one weekend in autumn, old stories and legends begin to boil back up to the surface.

Applejack had always warned Apple Bloom to stay away from the barn at night.
