Regardless of how she died, the one thing everyone seems to agree on is that Daphne is still roaming around, obsessed with revenge. ![]() According to the story, Daphne went to their school and died under mysterious circumstances some say she was brutally murdered and others say she was struggling to cope with being an outsider and killed herself. The night before the big game, a friend of Kit’s who’s also on the basketball team told them all a spooky story about the murderous ghost of a girl named Daphne.

Kit Lamb should be having the time of her life.
