"Haunted Mansion" gets off to a needlessly confusing start, jumping around timelines and introducing its ensemble without much context, including Stanfield's Ben as a ghost skeptic and, separately, Dawson's Gabbie and her son Travis (Chase Dillon), as they move into the house in the middle of the night. This sequence is perfectly eerie and funny as Travis starts to explore the strange house, immediately noticing creepy oddities. Gabbie tries to reassure him until she catches her own glimpse of a wandering knight and they book it for the exit.
