Welcome aboard the Skeletrain Express!!!
Unfortunately, there's been a minor incident on board. A passenger has been resurrected from the dead - their skeletal carcass smothered in layers upon layers of writhing flesh and blood.
This is a problem because necromancy is not allowed on this train, and if there's a secret necromancer on board, then they must be found and dealt with.
As the train's resident detective, it is your job to interrogate the passengers and determine who the culprit is - but keep in mind, you can never be too sure who's telling the truth.
Good luck!!
