the rumor of a haunted house that people in the neighborhood believe is cursed. Because of strange stories and eerie rumors, many people avoid the place and think something supernatural is happening there. However, as the mystery is investigated, it turns out that the haunting rumor was actually created by the Yamabe family. They spread the story intentionally as a way to scare away the people living in the house. In the end, the case once again shows that the “supernatural” incident was actually caused by human motives rather than real ghosts.

Episode Context

Arriving at episode 9 of 12, 'Rumor of the Haunted House' follows the 'Grim Reaper's Score' case and shifts focus toward local folklore and the psychology of fear, keeping the series' case-of-the-week momentum intact as it enters its final stretch. This installment deepens the thematic throughline connecting supernatural belief to human behavior, directly setting up 'The Pranks of the Brownie / Salome's Head' as the season builds toward its conclusion. With only three episodes remaining, this is a strong indicator of whether the show's formula still has fresh ground to explore heading into the endgame.
