Tim Lunn was a member of the crew of the Drum - an oil exploration complex built on the floor of a flooded Scottish valley. The crew discovered an alien spacecraft sitting beside a drowned village and brought it onto the Drum. Everyone took the opportunity to look inside - apart from Lunn, who was forbidden to do so by colleague Cass. She was deaf, and relied on Lunn to sign for her.
Soon after the craft was brought on board, the commander was killed in a freak accident. His ghost then began to appear, along with that of an alien undertaker. Other crew were killed, and all returned as phantoms. When Lunn was caught in a corridor by the ghosts, he was relieved to find that they ignored him. For some reason only he seemed immune to them. The Doctor later worked out that this was because he was the only person not to enter the craft and read some alien graffiti scratched on its wall. This left people open to transformation into psychic transmitters - a distress beacon for an alien creature called the Fisher King.
It transpired that the creature had actually been killed decades ago when the valley first flooded, and the Doctor found a way to neutralise the ghosts by confining them to a Faraday Cage. Lunn then discovered that Cass loved him as much as he had secretly loved her.
