Herbert Lemon, osierocony rozbitek prowadzący Biuro Rzeczy Znalezionych w hotelu Grand Nautilus, staje przed kolejnym wyzwaniem – tym razem musi się zmierzyć ze stworem z miejskich legend i… z duchami swojej przeszłości. Gdy w innych miastach obchodzi się Halloween, w Widmowym Porcie nastaje Upiorna Noc, podczas której na mieszkańców miasteczka czyha ponura zjawa ukryta w lampionie. Jak głosi legenda, jeśli nie zapalą oni wówczas świeczek, a na przystani nie odbędzie się spektakl teatru cieni, które należy złożyć w ofierze Cienistemu Upiorowi, ten schwyta i pochłonie cienie żyjących. Tym razem sprowadzono zawodową trupę teatralną, której członkini Caliastra, magiczka o kruczoczarnych włosach, wie zaskakująco dużo o pochodzeniu Herbiego. Ledwie aktorzy zameldują się w hotelu, mieszkańcy miasteczka zaczną znikać – w tym opiekunka Violet Parmy, najlepszej przyjaciółki Herbiego. Violet i Herbie muszą odkryć, co jest prawdą, a co sztuczką, i rozwiązać zagadkę lampionu Cienistego Upiora – zanim wszystkich pochłonie ciemność.
