Now, we cut to the gang driving in the Mystery Machine, Velma is in Ben's car while he's driving and then they make it to Oakhaven.

Lukas: Home sweet home.

Daphne: Wow! This color is spectacular, eh, guys?

Fred: Amazing.

Scooby: Yeah.

Shaggy: Don't forget me old buddy.

Scooby takes a picture of him and Shaggy as they drive across a bridge. We fade to Velma and Ben, in Ben's car.

Velma: And that scene at the end where the caretaker's flesh dissolved was so brilliant I-

Ben Ravencraft: Oh look, we're here.

Velma: Already?

Then they make a left turn, and they make it to Oakhaven.

Ben Ravencraft: Welcome to Oakhaven.

Lukas: Might wanna rephrase that.

A traffic jam is seen ahead.

Velma: I thought you said this was a quiet little town.

Ben Ravencraft: It was.

Fred: Wow, this is a pretty popular spot.

They get out of their cars.

Daphne: Do many people come here often?

Ben Ravencraft: Sure we always get a few leaf peepers but never like this. This is a "circus." (sees a man) Oh, there's the mayor, he'll know what's going on.

They go to him.

Shaggy: Like, maybe he'll know a place to eat.

Scooby: Yeah.

They go to him, too.

Mayor Corey: Welcome to old Oakhaven. Have a wonderful time. So glad you can come.

Ben Ravencraft: Mayor! Mayor Corey!

Mayor Corey: Ben, my boy! I'm glad you can come home to see this. And I see you brought some friends and their dog.

Scooby: Dog? Where?

Lukas: He's talking about you, Scoob.

Scooby: Roh, right.

Mayor Corey: Welcome! The more the merrier! [Sees Lukas] Lukas Pengram, is that you, my boy?

Lukas: Hi, Mr. Mayor.

Mayor Corey: [pats Lukas on the back] Haha. Look at you. You've grown a lot since you and your family moved out.

Lukas: Well, it feels good to be back.

Ben Ravencraft: But what is all this?

Mayor Corey: It's great, isn't it? Business is booming, not like a few months ago when it was slower than maple syrup on a cold day.

Man: Hey, Ben.

Ben Ravencraft: Hi, Mr. McKnight.

Lukas: Mr. McKnight?

Mr. McKnight: Lukas. Good to see you again.

Lukas: You too, sir.

Mr. McKnight: I'm sure she'll be surprised to see you again.

Daphne: She?

Mr. McKnight: My daughter and Lukas are great friends back in the third grade.

Lukas: It is true. We even have our group of friends, but that's a story for later.

Mr. McKnight: Here, have a T-shirt before my store sells out. You can wear it to the concert, tomorrow.

Ben Ravencraft: Concert?

Fred: The Hex Girls.

Daphne: You've heard of them, Fred?

Fred: Just now.

Mayor Corey: A local group. You'll like them, kind of spooky.

Ben Ravencraft: (seeing a T-shirt) "I met the ghost of Oakhaven and lived"

Shaggy and Scooby-Doo: Ghost?!

Lukas: Relax you two, it's just the word on the short.

Velma: Jinkies! Looks like you got a ghost in your backyard, Ben.

Mayor Corey: Not only that. (whispering) But it's his ancestor, the ghost of Sarah Ravencroft.

Ben Ravencraft: That's ridiculous. I thought we'd gotten past this "witch" nonsense.

Mayor Corey: What can I say, Ben? Ever since we built our Puritan village, her ghost has appeared many times.

Fred: Don't tell me, you disturbed her spirit with the construction?

Daphne: And now, she's haunting the town.

Ben Ravencraft: Did you say "puritan village?"

Now we go to the Puritan Village.

Mayor Corey: What you're seeing is a perfect recreation of what life was like back in the 1600s, as enacted by our locals.

Ben Ravencraft: When did all of this go on?

Mayor Corey: About six months ago.

Velma: This is amazing, Mayor.

They see the little dolls.

Daphne: Oh, cornhouse dolls. Aren't they cute, Fred?

Fred: Yeah, charming.

We go to Shaggy showing Scooby that he's in a pillory.

Then, Shaggy and Scooby go to a woman using a churn.

Pilgrim Woman: Which thou like to churn?

Scooby: Huh?

Shaggy: Like it's your turn to churn the butter, old buddy.

Scooby: Ruh-uh

Scooby churns it, then uses it as a guitar, and he slips and everyone laughs.

Shaggy: Now, all we need is the popcorn.

Lukas: Haven't done that in the past.

Unknown to Lukas, the pages of the Encantus started glowing blue.

(With Velma, Ben, and the Mayor)

Velma Dinkley: So you say a ghost has been appearing here?

Mayor Corey: Ah-yup. That's right, young lady. Apparently, we disturb the spirit of Ben's ancestor, who was persecuted as a witch. Way back in 1657.

Ben Ravencraft: Unjustifiably persecuted. Sarah Ravencroft was a medicine woman who practiced natural healing, and was unfairly accused because of her asencted ways!

Velma Dinkley: Just like the Salem witch trials. Many men and women who were a bit different or didn't conform to the codes of the colony, suffer the same fate.

Ben Ravencraft: Sarah was a healer. It was said she even kept a journal of all the patients she cured with her role remedies.

Lukas: Wow.

???: [whisper] It's... a lie...

Lukas hears it as he looks around confused.

Shaggy and Scooby go to the dolls, and Scooby grabs a tiny hat.

Scooby: Look, Shaggy. (Buts on the tiny hat)

Shaggy: It's a perfect fit, Scoob.

Scooby: Yeah.

Then the hat blows away and then the mole, takes it, as Scooby looks at him, he goes down to his hole, Scooby tries to get the hat back, but the mole bit Scooby's paw.

Scooby: Ow! (growls)
(He digs through the dirt)

Shaggy: Easy Scoob.

Then Scooby found an item he got out of the hole.

Shaggy: Like what you got there old buddy?

Scooby:(spits the item out) I don't know.

Shaggy: Wonder what this is?

Mayor Corey: Looks like you found an old shoe buckle, my boy. Probably over 400 years old.

Shaggy: Cool. (attaches the shoe buckle to his shoe) Man. Like for another one, Scoob. So I can have a matching pair.

Scooby: Okay.

Mayor Corey: A yeah, we found all sorts of items from the old colony when we cleared this area for construction. Handmade nails, horseshoes, farm equipment.

Ben Ravencraft: How about a book?

Mayor Corey: A book?

Ben Ravencraft: You know how long I've been searching for Sarah's journal. To officially clear our family name.

Mayor Corey: Sorry, Ben. Nothing like that. Because the ghost says so. Maybe you'll see her tonight.

Fred: Oh boy.

Then, Shaggy's stomach growls.

Shaggy: Hey, we like to see a Puritan pizza joint. We're starved.

Scooby: Reah.

Mayor Corey: Don't worry, boys, we have the best restaurant in all of New England.

Lukas: I'll take them there.

Mayor Corey: Thanks, Lukas. I'm sure Jack will be so happy to see you.

Lukas: I know.

Ben: Do you kids wanna go, or do you want to see my studio?

Velma: Wow, would we ever! Shaggy, we'll meet up with you later!

Ben Ravencraft: Mayor! Tell Jack that anything they order is on me.

Shaggy: Zoinks! Like what a great guy.

Scooby: Reah, reat!

Daphne: (laughs) You're gonna regret that offer, Ben.

Lukas, Shaggy, and Scooby walk as the Encantus slowly shines before it fades.

???: [whisper] Find... the book...

Lukas: "Find the book"? What does that mean?
