This Arctic Town Keeps a Light On in Every Empty House. Never Ask Why.

In an Arctic mining town where the sun doesn't rise from October to February, every empty house keeps a light on. An animated horror story from Tales of Gritz, Case 003. People up there will tell you it's against the law to die there. And in the dark months there's one more rule: a light in every window. Even in the empty houses. Especially in the empty houses. Four months after Kilometer 88, Gritz takes a winter job where there are no roads at all: caretaker and lamplighter in Lysbyen, an old mining town on Svalbard, in the polar night. Sixty lamps to keep burning. Thirty-one empty hotel rooms. And one phrase an old woman makes him repeat until he gets it right: "Nei, det er tatt." No. It's taken. He thought he was keeping something out. He wasn't. There are 10 hidden sightings in this episode. Some last less than a second. Two last exactly two frames. How many did you find?
