"That's how I've been stopping it." "I've been burning the houses down." "Wait, so the Oswalt house?" "That was..." "Yeah." "The pattern isn't the only thing that Jonas found." "He also realized the piano was of particular significance." "There are fragments... references... to Bughuul... the Bogeyman... across all cultures, over the centuries, that... some cultures believed that it lived in another realm, reachable only by ritual or sacrifice." "And others believed that it fed... off of the corruption of innocents, but no matter what, there are always three things in common." "There's a murdered family, missing children, and some form of iconological totem or a thematic offering." "An image, literature, music." "Okay, so the murders are captured through art?" "It's aesthetic observance of violence." "But that little girl, the piano, what exactly did she say?" "It's Norwegian." "She says..." ""Quiet..."" ""Bughuul can't hear me over your yelling, Mom.""
