A town has frequent visits from phantom apparitions, and the townspeople have many explanations for the ghosts, ranging from disbelief to hallucination to the idea that humans and phantoms were once a single race.

A middle aged man comes across an old museum for Word Dolls on the side of the road, where he meets and older woman who tells him old horror stories from the farms nearby. She tells him about the Mower Manc, a murderer who used to roam the fields only for the Word Doll museum to disappear mysteriously afterword.
