In the Creepateria, it's not long before the ghouls spot Spectra's old classmate, Kiyomi Haunterly, who apparently has gone from the most shy ghost at Haunted High, to the most popular ghost. However, when introduced to Spectra's friends, Draculaura seems to have some familiarity with Kiyomi, wondering if they've met before, before Kiyomi is forced to leave for some reason. Brushing it aside, Spectra begins asking around about Draculaura's haunting, before attention is drawn to Porter "Paintergeist" Geiss spray-painting graffiti regarding the Detention Chains on the wall, encouraging the other students with wanting freedom from their Detention Chains. Unfortunately, this attracts the attention of Revenant's Hall Moanitors, ghosts of haunting's past, present, and future, who begin apprehending any ghosts who are breaking the rules, will break the rules, or are repeat offenders. When they catch Porter doing his spray-painting again, they prepare to shackle him, but he attempts to flee, which attracts Spectra with having found her first scoop. After a lengthy chase through Haunted High, Porter crashes into Spectra, leading to him finally being apprehended by the Hall Moanitors, as Revenant herself arrives to ensure he is punished for his actions.
Unfortunately, when Spectra speaks up about Porter crashing into her, Revenant wonders who she is. When Spectra mentions she's visiting from Monster High, Revenant grows suspicious of her friends, and removes their hoods, exposing them in front of everyone there as solids. Revenant immediately asks for punishment on Spectra, but when the Hall Moanitor of the Past says no rule in Haunted High's rulebook about bringing non-ghosts to the school has been written, Revenant has the Hall Moanitor of the Present add it in, much to Spectra's annoyance, before Revenant leaves for other matters.
Porter is able to create a distraction to allow Spectra and the others to flee on River's boat, but the Hall Moanitors give pursuit, only to discover that the Detention Chains have no effect on solids like Clawdeen, Draculaura, Twyla, and Rochelle. Although they make it back to Monster High safely, one Detention Chain follows them through and captures Spectra when they let their guard down, dragging her back into the Ghost World to imprison in Haunted High, despite their attempts to save her. With Revenant's new rule about no non-ghosts allowed in effect, the only option is to turn the ghouls into ghosts so they can return to Haunted High and get Spectra back. Luckily, Twyla knows just how to do it.
Back at Haunted High, Spectra is brought into Revenant's office, where Revenant confronts her about Monster High and the other Ghost World residents who are enrolled there. Despite Spectra's assurances that all monsters are welcome at Monster High, Revenant still punishes her with working off an assignment of 10,000 essays, then doing it again. When Spectra worries about her blog, Revenant shows little sympathy for her plight. Before she goes to suffer her fate, Spectra asks about Draculaura's haunting, but Revenant fiercely denies it, even showing some nervousness about there not being another haunting in the Monster World before Spectra brings up the Red Lady legend, which Revenant agrees with before Spectra departs to her fate. However, after Spectra leaves, Revenant, interested in the number of students from the Ghost World enrolled in Monster High, begins concocting a plan to send her Hall Moanitors into the Monster World to increase Haunted High's attendance...
As for Spectra, she does her best to work on blog posts while having a good talk with Porter, who is puzzled by how Spectra writes for fun, but they soon seem to develop a friendly relationship before Spectra leaves him to his own interests.
Back at the Monster World, Twyla brings the others to the Boogey Mansion to show them her father's Boogey Sand that he uses for his work. While they look for the bottle that will turn the ghouls, sans Sirena, into ghosts, back in the Ghost World, the Hall Moanitors begin their assault on Monster High to drag as many of the Ghost World students back to Haunted High, wrapped in Detention Chains. Twyla finally finds the right bottle, and after Clawdeen's werewolf allergies sneezes the sand over them, Clawdeen, Draculaura, Twyla, and Rochelle, have been turned into ghosts, just until they use the sand that will revert them back to their original forms. Sirena is ready to head back to Haunted High at once, but the others still need time to adapt to their new, ghostly forms.
