Somewhere in the Münsterland region of the 19th century, a shepherdess and well-known soothsayer - known as the "Spökenkiekerin" in Westphalian - causes an uproar in the village community with her seemingly insane prophecies. The mayor, in particular, is annoyed by her prophecies. He decides to have her chased out of the village. But a lovely young lady comes to the shepherdess's aid with her occult powers.

The young baroness of Castle Rhede leads the quite ordinary life of a noblewoman. Her maid tends to her beauty with all sorts of poisonous cosmetics, and her mother ensures that she keeps her tiny waistline by serving very spartan meals. But one day, to her great horror, she finds herself trapped in a horrific situation. A very deep male voice, which apparently only she can hear, starts to dictate the fate of the castle—and predicts a grim end for the baroness.
