Its night-shift employee learns that the place can be dangerous: doors may disappear, and footsteps in pursuit may belong to the person being chased. The novel unfolds through ghost stories connected to the institute and the people and objects within it.
Among its hauntings are a handkerchief tied to a rivalry between two sons, a cursed sneaker taken by a ghost-chasing employee, and a cat that reveals the crimes of its former family.
