Bea wants to prove herself to her paranormal investigator parents and Jorge is determined to overcome his fear of the beyond. And when Jasmine confesses she's been tormented by a ghost for years, they not only believe her, they're thrilled Together they set out to prove that Jasmine's not just acting out after her father's death-ghosts are real and Jasmine is haunted. But not everyone agrees how to deal with the departed. As Jasmine's hauntings increase in intensity, her resentment builds. Why is her Mami so secretive about her past?

I had to speed it up to 1.2x which then made some parts sound slightly unnatural.
