A psychic named Mrs. Druse has checked into the hospital numerous times and is taken by the staff to be a hypochondriac. She asks for the assistance of the cynical yet compassionate Dr. Hook to uncover the truth about the hospital and the mysterious spirits who haunt it - including a young girl, killed after the original fire; a sinister teenage boy; and a strange animal that follows and protects the young girl she calls Antubis, who is similar to a giant anteater, whose long snout opens up to a horrifying set of jagged teeth.
The giant anteater is the largest of its family, 182-217 cm (5.97-7.12 ft) in length, with weights of 33-41 kg (73-90 lb) for males and 27-39 kg (60-86 lb) for females. It is recognizable by its elongated snout, bushy tail, long fore claws, and distinctively colored fur coat.
