In 'The Shamans' Carl Brecht, the anthropologist, leaves Saraswoti in India to do research on shamanism in Nepal. Upon arriving in Pokhara, he discovers that his friend, Professor Paul Schiemann is tormented by his wife's death. Sharon's poltergeist haunts his dreams as well as his house on the university campus. Paul hires a shaman to perform an exorcism on the trail to Kanjang, where Sharon died after falling from a cliff. After witnessing another major exorcism performed by the shamans at Kanjang, Carl returns to Pokhara with his friends. He finds out that Saraswoti and Lakshmi are at the Third Eye Hotel, where Myrna and Yorg are staying with the kidnapped boy, Nigel. Carl informs the police about his suspicions although he doesn't expect to be captured by the London coven and taken to a cottage on Fewa Lake. At the cottage the coven are preparing to offer sacrifices to the demons in the presence of Nigel.
