Dark Shadows: 706

"The great house at Collinwood stands deserted. The living have sought refuge elsewhere leaving an evil spirit to roam the cold, empty corridors alone. At the Old House, Barnabas Collins remains in a deep trance. He's employed the mysterious powers of the I-Ching, and gone through the door to the infinite. And he has been transported back in time to the year 1897, and this night he has been taken to see the dying matriarch, who lives only to tell a terrible secret to a grandson who has been away."
