"What's an inhuman spirit?" "It's something that's never walked the earth in human form." "It's something demonic." "DEBBIE:" "So the doll was never possessed?" "No, no, it was used as a conduit."

"Lorraine saw something, which" "Go ahead, hon." "I've been seeing the dark entity that haunts your house and your land." "I saw it first when I came through your door." "It was latched to your back." "And then I saw it again with the girls when we walked into the living room." "And it doesn't matter where you go this dark entity has latched itself to your family and it's feeding off you." "Even if we leave?" "Sometimes when you get haunted, it's like stepping on gum." "You take it with you." "LORRAINE:" "Look, I gotta tell you, you have a lot of spirits in here but this is the one that I'm most worried about, because it is so hateful." "Okay, so what do we do?" "Can we call a priest?" "ED:" "I wish it were that easy." "Performing an exorcism is an archaic procedure." "Requires years of training." "And even then, I have seen it go horribly wrong." "But before we even get that far, the church has to authorize it first." "It means we gotta investigate, gather evidence and provide proof and that's the hard part." "Have your children been baptized?" "Uh, no, we never got around to that." "We're not really a churchgoing family." "Well, you may want to rethink that." "Our presence here could make things worse." "Why?" "Because we're a threat." "And whatever you're dealing with here isn't gonna like us." "So far it hasn't done anything violent, and that's a good sign." "So we're gonna have our guy do some homework on the property to see what we're up against." "LORRAINE:" "Judy, what are you up to?" " I got you a present." " Aah." "Me and Nanna got these at the church's yard sale." " Honey." " One for you and one for me." "LORRAINE:" "Aw." "JUDY:" "She put a picture of you and Daddy in mine."

"Okay, go ahead." "From the first occurrence." "Nothing." "The whole time." " I don't know." "You find anything?" " Lots." "I mean, it's no wonder they're going through what they are." "That's the original farmhouse." "It was built in 1863 by a man named Jedson Sherman who was married to a woman named Bathsheba." "Ed, she's related to Mary Towne Estye." "She was one of the women accused of witchcraft in Salem." " She was hung during the trials." " Wow." "After Bathsheba married Jedson, they had a baby and when the baby was 7 days old Jedson caught her sacrificing it in front of the fireplace." "She ran out to that tree by the dock climbed up, proclaimed her love to Satan cursed anyone who tried to take her land, and hung herself." "Time of death was pronounced at 3:07 in the morning." "Well, that explains a few things." "Yeah, so does this." "Her last name's Walker." "She lived there in the '30s." "She had a boy named Rory who mysteriously disappeared in the woods." "Then she killed herself in the cellar." "And that's not all." "So, what was the original 200-acre farm has since been subdivided and sold off." "There was another boy who drowned in a pond here." "He lived in a house over here." "And a woman who worked as a maid in a neighboring home, she committed suicide too." "People who took her land."

"When you're finished here, why don't you hit upstairs, all right, Drew?" "You got it." "ED:" "What's wrong with the Chevy?" "Ugh, what's not wrong with her?" " Needs a new carburetor to start." " Oh, yeah?" "Kind of put fixing her up on hold for a while." "Yeah." "Ahem." "Hey, Brad, hand me a thermostat, would you?" "What's this, uh, do?" "When there's an instant drop in temperature the thermostat triggers the camera to take a picture." "You've actually caught things on film?" "Well, yeah, that's, uh, the point." "Why, uh--?" "Why out here?" "Well, this is where the witch committed suicide." "She hung herself from that branch right above where you're standing." "CAROLYN:" "How could a mother kill her own child?" "It was never a child to her." "She just used her God-given gift as the ultimate offense against him." "Witches believe it elevates their status in the eyes of Satan." "[GIRLS GIGGLING]" "Mm." "Wow." "That's a nice day at the beach, huh?" "How did you know?" "It's an insight." "It's like a peek through the curtain into another person's life." "Mm." "That day meant so much to me." "We were driving along the coast." "Nancy pointed out how pretty the view was." "I thought this is a perfect opportunity for a photo." "We're gonna start fresh, you know?" "A new house, a new beginning." "You should have seen Roger and the girls." "I've never seen them so happy." "ALL:" "Cheese!" "They mean the world to me." "DREW:" "Put your hand flat on the desk." "Yeah, and take it off." "Here we go." "See?" "It just reveals to us what the naked eye can't see." "Pretty far out, isn't it?" "Yeah, it's groovy." "Drew, you got the Bolex ready for Brad?" "Yeah, already locked and loaded, sir." "[BELL TINKLING  DOOR CREAKING]" "[TOILET FLUSHES]" "What?" "I had to go." "DREW:" "All the rooms are coming in pretty good." "Good." "What's in the bottle?" "Holy water." "Presence of religious icons will get a reaction from anything unholy." "Sort of pisses them off." "So I set these throughout the house, see if I can stir things up a bit." "ROGER:" "Like holding a cross to a vampire?" "ED:" "Yeah." "Exactly." "Except I don't believe in vampires." "[BELL TINKLING]" "Wasn't me." "[TINKLING CONTINUES]" "[DOOR CREAKING]" "[CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS]" "Brad, get the camera." "Okay." "All right, it's 9:18, we're headed down into the cellar where the door's just opened on its own." "I have Lorraine and Officer Brad Hamilton with me." "Let's keep the cellar light off." "Give us a sign that you wanna communicate with us." "[LOW DRONING]" "Hon, you all right?" "There's definitely something here." " All right, close the door." "Move something." " My hands are so cold." "Come on." "LORRAINE:" "No." "It's gone." "It's gone." "ED:" "I got nothing." "Okay." "ED:" "Well, like I said, it doesn't always work when you want it to." "Yeah, maybe the camera picked something up." "BRAD:" "Watch out!" "DREW:" "For a guy who doesn't believe you looked a little freaked out when that door slammed shut." "It must have been a draft." "Oh, that's funny." "A draft never put that look on my face before." "I believe the clock." "It's 3:08." "[ALL SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY]" "Let me see your glasses." "For you." "I think I might take some girls for ice cream later on." "What do you say about that?" "GIRLS:" "Yeah!" "ROGER:" "Honey, you wanna come?" "I'm exhausted." "I'm just gonna take a nap." "The late nights are getting to me." "That's probably a good idea." "Why don't you get some rest." " Lorraine and I'll watch over things for a bit." " Really?" "I'm gonna take off." "I have a shift starting in an hour." "The house hasn't felt like this in a long time." "I think the kids feel a lot safer with you around." "ED:" "I could get used to this." " What, me doing laundry?" " Ha-ha-ha." " You're funny." "No, this place." "Nice, fresh country air." "They have such a beautiful family, don't they?" "Yeah, that little one, April, did you see her bring me pancakes?" "[LORRAINE CHUCKLING]" "We've gotta help them." "I know."

"Hey, I hope you don't mind." "I got a good deal on a rebuild at that wrecking yard in Smithfield." " No, you look like you know what you're doing." " Yeah, we'll see." "Got a nice place here, Roger." "Lorraine and I always wanted a spot in the country." "I'll sell you this one." "[LAUGHING]" "Hey, hand me a wrench, would you?" "Hey, uh, it really means a lot to us to have you here." "I gotta admit, I was a little bit skeptical going in." "Just wanna say thank you, though, for coming out when you did." "I can't take the credit." "That's, uh" " That's all Lorraine." " I didn't want to." " Oh." "Why's that?" "Whatever Lorraine sees, feels, touches, it helps people." "But it also takes a toll on her." "Little piece each time." "Couple months ago we were working on a case." "She saw something." "[PRIEST PRAYING IN LATIN]" "[SCREAMING]" "It took a real big piece." "When we got home she went into our room, locked herself in didn't talk, didn't eat, didn't come out for eight days." "What'd she see?" "[LORRAINE SCREAMING]" "Get out of here!" "I don't know." "And I won't ask." "I need to reload." "You want some?" "I'm good, thanks." "All right." "[WIND CHIME TINKLING]" "WOMAN [WHISPERING]:" "Look what she made me do."
