The supernatural phenomenon takes Melody Pendras on a venture as she attempts to make a video project about the Visser Building and its occupants.

The Baldung is first mentioned when Melody breaks into the recently deceased father Russo’s study. 

There she finds an ancient scripture that mentions the Baldung which is an ancient coven of witches that apparently gave up their powers.

One side is the mysterious cult, the Vos family which Samuel is a part of. We see this group perform rituals in front of the statue of Kaelego.

Another is the Baldung, trying to stop the cult from merging the real world with Kaelego’s other world.

Is Melody Pendras Also A Part of The Witch Gang?

Yes, Melody Pendras is also a part of The Witch Gang as she notices her mother’s ring in an episode.

Her mother wears the ring around her neck and it has a Baldung sigil so we can assume Melody might have inherited some of her mother’s magic. Hence she is also of Baldung heritage.

This may be the reason her mom abandoned Melody as a child to keep her away from danger as supernatural affairs encircling Kaelego and the Baldung.

Melody now has to uncover her legacy and use her powers to rescue Dan and make use of what she has been given.
