Nancy Drew 23: Shadow at the Water's Edge Hints
So was the ryokan really haunted?
1 of 2: It sure doesn't look like it. All the "hauntings" were pretty much explained away.
2 of 2: The "ghost" was a shadow puppet when it was on the balcony and a robot in the baths; the doors were slammed with Rentaro's door remote; the moaning sounds came from his recorder; the wet footprints went "through the wall" because he used the star card; and so on. It's amazing what you can do with a gift for robotics, an evil imagination, and the power of suggestion.
