Is someone there? [gasps]

[screaming] It's the Gumbus!

- Uh, what'cha
watching, Miguel?

- Oh, my gosh, oh, my gosh!

I was just watching my favorite
can-stacking channel.

- Can stacking...okay.

- It's a thing.

There's this one
supermarket stock boy.

He builds forts, towers,

national monuments!

- Yeah, I see his channel
has a like.

- I would've liked it
twice if I could.

Anyway, he's at
the store after hours, and

you gotta see it!

- And now, I shall complete

the most difficult stack
of all,

only completed
by one other stock boy:

the Lady Liberty stack!

What's a Gumbus?

There's gotta be

Earthquake, magnets,

There's no such thing
as ghosts.

What? [grunts]

How can you say there's
no such thing as ghosts

when there's such
a thing as us?

The Gumbus is real.

- Only one way to settle
this heated debate:

we head up
to the Stock-&-Shop

and tamper with the mysterious
forces of the underworld.

Uh... [chuckles nervously]
I'm fine just getting

the pants scared off of me

I was about to vlog about that.

The Gumbus.

It all goes back

1987!

the gory details.

The greatest stock boy
this store has ever seen,

Jeremiah Gumbus...

got crunched in the chains
of the milk processing plant!

- What happened

to sparing the gory details?

- Chain and soul combined,
and now,

as the chain-laden Gumbus,

he haunts the aisles
of the store.

Legend has it the only way to
free the Gumbus

from his eternal torment
