phénomènes mystérieux. Un monstre cornu, apparemment jailli de nulle part, frappe, tue. Un professeur de psychologie et ses étudiants ont, en gros, repris l'expérience de Phillip le fantôme et engendré par la fusion de leurs capacités mentales une entité malfaisante qui terrorise toute l'Euxémie. Avec l'aide du curé radiesthésiste Timothéus Burle, du prestidigitateur occultiste et métaphysicien Miroslav Jenkell, et de Sam Edwards, qui remplace Olaf Bégon à la direction de la Sûreté municipale, l'enquêteur sur le paranormal Marc Darlan tentera de résoudre toute l'affaire d'une façon assez originale.
