EERIE'S HISTORY IT SEEMS LIKE AN AVERAGE LITTLE TOWN AT FIRST. BUT THINGS ARE REALLY *REALLY* WEIRD IN THE EERIE TRIANGLE. That's quite a handsome statue of Zebediah Eerie in front of the Eerie Town Hall. But how come there's no mention of the town's founder in history books--or anywhere else? And what about those hundred-year-old pictures of people who still live in Eerie today? Marshall and Simon know the truth must be out there somewhere, and they're going to find it. Because the earliest appearance of Eerie they can dig up came right after a bunch of UFO sightings in the early Fifties. Could the real founders of Eerie have come from ... the skies? And it that startling fact has been covered up... what else don't we know about the strangest place in America?

Chiedete pure in giro: tutti vi diranno che Eerie, nell'Indiana, è la città più normale del mondo. Tutti tranne Marshall e Simon: loro sanno che, dietro le apparenze, si celano mille misteri. Al museo d'Arte moderna, Marshall e Simon scoprono un ritratto molto singolare. Alice Prophet, la ragazzina del dipinto, non solo sembra viva, ma sembra correre a gambe levate per scappare dall'ombra oscura che l'insegue! Per salvarla Marshall e Simon dovranno combattere a colpi di pennello con un artista dotato di un talento veramente diabolico.

Quando hanno cominciato a ripulire la soffitta degli Stewart, Marshall e Simon non si aspettavano di incappare in un oscuro mistero. Ma, ripulendo scatoloni pieni di vecchie cianfrusaglie, a Marshall è caduto l'occhio su uno strano album di foto, che nessuno avrebbe mai dobuto vedere! Chiedete pure in giro: tutti vi diranno che Eerie, nell'Indiana, è la città più normale del mondo. Tutti tranne Marshall e Simon: loro sanno che, dietro le apparenze, si celano mille misteri.
