One of our viewers managed to snap a picture of another spirit roaming around. The spirit was able to veil itself during the picture though, so we only have this vague image. User Image Cindy Donovinh here, reporting some urgent and SHOCKING news to all Gaians. Police departments across Gaia have recently heard reports from Barton of restless spirits! They have been murmuring about being bored and looking for excitement. Rumor has it that when our worlds collide they like to celebrate with a festival! City officials would like to show their respects by getting help from the community to setup and partake in the festivities! We have reached out to the spirits for comment, however, it seems they don't always show on camera. We do have a vague image of one of the spirits seeking help: User Image Gaians from all over have started to gather around to donate gold to assist the spirits in setting up festival booths, games, items, and even a battle arena? You have been invited to help set up and partake in our Spirit of the Summer Festival! For Gaia 9 Action news, this is Cindy Donovinh, reporting live from ...from ...hey wait, how did we get here?!
