You've followed the clue. The blue wisp spoke of a Knight, and who better to represent the knight than General Custer himself? According to your reports, the General haunts the Roller Coaster... and here it stands in all of its glory. As your gaze looks over the twists and turns, the dangerously-close branches from untrimmed trees, and the constant miasma of fog and cloud cover... you spot a shimmering ghost trailing along one of the uppermost tracks.
But that ghost is not your target. Your target is the Wraith of the infamous General Custer. He stays so still he almost seems a statue. The wind blows leaves across the platform, but his robes do not move. The cars are quiet. Actually, everything near the coaster seems to be quiet. There is no gurgling of Zombies or shuffling of feet. There is no sound save for the faint whisper that begs for you to come closer...
come closer child...
Even with no face, this Wraith seems to be staring at you. Daring you to come within his territory and put yourselves at his mercy.
I will protect you...
.. I will shield you...

Your first exorcism in this place resulted in a wailing and screaming as the Wraith faded away... but General Custer does not wail. He does not scream! He simply... fades, as his body is discorporated by the attacks from all angles. And from the ground where he stood, there rises a green wisp that flickers as if it is about to twinkle out of existence. Thin, and weak, its voice whispers out into your ears.
But despite Custer's wraith having left this world, you feel as if the pressure of being watched has increased, not faded. You feel as if you have gained something's attention.
The sensation makes the hair on the back of your neck stand on end...
An empty void where all the gold in the world may be thrown..
Yet never shall I be filled.
I am within everyone... release me... to find peace...
