Ken and Sandy join an archaeological expedition in
southern New Jersey near the Delaware Bay. All they expect to do
is dig trenches for 3 or 4 days and not get involved in any
mysteries. However, when they join the expedition, they learn that
several members of the expedition have heard galloping hoof beats
at night. The local people have also heard these hoof beats of
what they refer to as the ghost of the galloping horse.
Captain Kidd was rumored to have buried treasure in the
area of the expedition, and the treasure was protected by a
galloping horse. During prohibition time, the galloping ghost was
heard and scared the superstitious locals away. The hoof beats
were most likely produced by rum-runners who didn't want people
snooping around.
However, not only is there a ghost, but someone is spying
on the expedition. Whoever it is, they are ruthless and will stop
at nothing to sabotage the expedition. Why are they trying to
sabotage the expedition? Is it a jealous archaeologist? Is it
someone looking for Captain Kidd's treasure? Are rum-runners
scaring people away again?
