Primary Residents — New Family
The Hendersons
Moved into 14 Briarwood Court eight weeks ago. The HVAC has been making sounds since day two.
Karen keeps a color-coded binder. Bill has personally inspected every pipe, vent, and load-bearing
wall; his conclusion is settling. Emma knows exactly what is going on and has decided not to tell
anyone. The D.S.A. considers this the most complicated household on the street.
Known Weakness
Give Karen something to organize. Give Bill a structural explanation. Ask Emma nicely.

External Civilians — Paranormal Investigation Unit
The GhostHunterz
Ty Knotts runs the vlog (14,000 subscribers, overconfident, dangerously close to correct 30% of
the time). Stella Glam manages the ring light and has accidentally captured three genuine
supernatural events on camera, all posted as aesthetic b-roll. Ziggy Snaks handles equipment and
snacks and has never looked up from his phone during an investigation. The D.S.A. is most
concerned about Ziggy.
Known Weakness
Cut the wi-fi. Bad lighting. Snacks.

Independent Civilian — HOA President
Linda Marsh
Has governed Briarwood Court's Homeowners Association for nine years with a clipboard, a
laminator, and a complete absence of self-doubt. Has issued formal notices about the recent
activity on the street. The notices have not worked. She is now drafting notices about the
notices. The laminator is running continuously.
Known Weakness
A procedural technicality will stop her completely. This buys approximately eleven minutes.

Independent Civilian — Long-term Observer
Gerald Webb
Has lived on Briarwood Court for thirty-one years. Sits on his porch every morning from six to
eleven. Has seen a great deal over the years, though his hearing and eyesight have been slipping
for some time. His spiral notebooks — six of them — contain observations that would be extremely
useful to the right authorities. Nobody has asked Gerald about the notebooks.
Known Weakness
Speak up. Also: keep the porch light on.

Primary Residents — Screen-Bound Household
The Whitfields
A family so glued to their screens, a full haunting once went completely unnoticed for three days.
The ghosts have resorted to just leaving spooky comments instead.
Known Weakness
Turn off the wi-fi router. That's the only thing that gets their attention.

Independent Civilians — Accounting Household
The Blackwoods
Dressed like they walked out of a Victorian nightmare. Turns out they're just tax accountants who
really commit to a theme.
Known Weakness
Mention an audit. They will need to sit down.

Independent Civilian — Preparedness Enthusiast
Dale
He's been prepping for the end of the world his whole life. A little disappointed it turned out to
be ghosts and not zombies.
Known Weakness
Tell him zombies are next. He will immediately lose interest in you.

Independent Civilian — Wellness Practitioner
Priya
She runs a wellness studio out of her garage. She rebrands every attempted haunting as an
energy-cleanse before you even get to finish.
Known Weakness
She'll thank you for the 'cleanse' and light a candle in your honor. Deeply demoralizing.
