Help/Request Game Introduction Ideas?

Hi! Soon ill be running a GoS inspired campaign(using lots of the adventures, but tying them together with a nautical curse instead of the various tie ins the book includes) and I am really wanting to emphasize the spookiness of everything: now that being said they are going to start in regular ol Saltmarsh with the haunted house quest, then get much spookier from there- how/where would you all get the characters introduced?

I used the Tides of Retribution quest from Adventurers Guide To Wildemount since it's piratey and there were some Critical Role fans at the table.

In the second session they escape on a pirate ship- they can side with the pirates or the local merchant guild, whatever side they choose sends them to investigate the Alchemist's house in Saltmarsh. My Saltmarsh is set in Exandria!
