You've remembered reading "A Brand New Hope" And probably wonder how those ghosts called spectres are here, Looks like Steelaconda is under a curse, (Or is she?) as she was the one, eating any exploring civilian on Spirit Island, digesting them and turning them into spectres, they also quickly become her servants, as well. It's possibly said those who travel to Spirit Island may not come back, but Kyle and his friends have survived on that Island already.
