Arriving at the scene, the FBI agents are investigating when the strange energy comes searching for them as well.

Next in part #2, “Night Lights, Part Two”, The strange atmospheric phenomenon in North Carolina continues to frustrate Scully and Mulder. They do have a plan though.

All the while frustrating those people that just want to kill it.

Next in part #3, “Family Portraits, Part One”, A demonic “vampire” camera literally sucks the life out of its victims (those having their picture taken) so that the picture taker can live forever…

Next in part #4, “Family Portraits, Part Two” After investigating, it seems that the legend is true… cameras can steal souls.

Next in part #5, “The Kanashibari”, Someone, or something is killing students at a Hawaii university. Mulder has some thoughts about a choking ghost but Scully has other suspects. When they find out the full story behind the killings, will it clear everything up? Or make it even cloudier?

Next in part #6, “Donor”, Have you signed your organ donor card? If you haven’t, how would you feel if your spouse decided to donate your organs after you died? Hopefully not like the man Mulder and Scully are chasing. He seems intent on retrieving his organs from their recipients.

Finally in part #7, “Silver Lining”, A man disfigured in a car accident finds a coat with a special lining. It can drain the life from others and use it to repair his damaged face. Can Scully and Mulder find him and stop him before his transformation is complete and he disappears?
