The Empty Lot in Gorham, Maine

Welcome to Hometown Paranormal, where everything is fake and nothing is real, but every hometown gets its own paranormal story.
In this episode, Leslie Bishop, her two cousins, and her twin brothers have made a big mistake. Instead of staying at home playing board games on Saturday night while their parents go out to dinner, they venture to the corner of their neighborhood to play on the empty lot, and they stay later than they should.
Realizing their mistake, they try to rush home before their parents come home and realize they've broken the rules. But something -- or someone -- on the empty lot doesn't want the kids to leave. And it will do anything to keep them there.
