"Well, he said it was easy to understand someone getting scared their first night alone out here." "But that he didn't see anything unusual in the house." "Mom, please believe me." "I'm not making this up." "I'm telling the truth." "Jess, please." "Just stop." "Dad..." "Dad, I'm really scared." "Can we just go home?" "Jessica, this is home." "You need to get used to that." "But I thought we agreed that you were going to try." "What happened to that?" "Hi." "Shut the door." "Maybe we shouldn't have left Ben alone with her." "Did you see her face?" "She seemed so scared." "I'm really worried about her." "She's just having a hard time adjusting, that's all." "Being out here will be great for her." "I don't know." "Maybe we're in over our heads here, Roy." "We'll get through this." "Just give her some time." "She'll be fine." "You saw it too, didn't you?" "Come on." "I know you did." "You had to have." "Just tell me." "I wish you could just tell them what you saw." "Come on, Ben." "When are you going to start talking?" "I promise I'll never let anything happen to you." "I promise."

"And I know that people, even your parents, sometimes, they don't know how to listen." "Especially my parents." "They got pressures that you can't even begin to understand." "You sure you saw something up there?" "I saw it." "It was real." "Maybe you've just got a lot on your mind." "Hey, Jess." "Hey." "Thanks for coming." "Yeah." "You don't look so good." "What's up?" "Did you know the family that used to live in my house?" "Not really." "It was the Rollins that lived there." "What happened to them?" "They just up and left about five, six years ago." "There were some bad harvests." "Lot of people didn't make it." "Hey, um..." "Did you ever hear of anything about my house being, like, haunted?" "Seriously." "Just, like, stupid stories." "It's been abandoned for a long time." "So..." "What kind of stories?" "Nothing really." "When we were kids, we used to dare each other to go down into the cellar." "Why?"

"But she was..." "She looked just scared to death." "Have you told your folks about this?" "You know my parents already think I'm nuts." "Do you think it's crazy?" "People's spirits hanging around after they're dead?" "No." "There's something about the land out here." "It gets ahold of people." "It doesn't want to let them go." "What about you?" "Don't you get lonely out here?" "Don't you miss having a family of your own?" "Nah, you guys keep me plenty busy." "Thank you." "For listening." "Anytime." "Almost ready." "Yes!" "That's what I'm talking about." "I really like being here, Roy." "You guys make me feel like family." "I'm grateful." "Lucky to have you, John." "Let's see how good the harvest is, and maybe I can afford to keep you on." "Don't worry about me." "You just take care of your family." "[GASPS]" "WOMAN:" "[SOFTLY] Help me." "Hello?"

"Has there been any trouble in the family recently that would make her want to hurt or draw attention to herself?" "Um..." "We just moved here from Chicago." "And back there," "Jess got into some trouble." "She's kind of struggled a bit." "We've been dealing with a lot of emotional issues." "Jessica?" "Your mom's here." "Hey." "Dad, we need to leave the house now, before anything else happens." "Dad." "Dad, I'm really scared." "Have you forgotten how hard it was the last couple of years?" "Me out of work, Ben's hospital bills." "We went through every dime your mother and I managed to save." "Twenty years." "Twenty years of savings gone in two years." "We have everything riding on this harvest, Jess." "Everything." "We're only a couple of days away." "Please." "Mom, these things attacked me." "Enough!" "God." "The doctor said your cuts look self-inflicted." "That's what he said." "That you did this!" "You actually think that I would do this to myself?" "Why won't you believe me?" "How can we, Jess?" "Huh?" "Tell me!" "I mean, we thought you put this all behind you." "Why do you keep blaming everything on me?" "You never listen to me." "And what?" "We're supposed to pretend like we're some big happy family again?" "I can't do that." "Jess!" "Let her go." "Maybe coming here was a mistake." "Don't second-guess yourself, Roy." "Why not?" "Everybody else around here does." "Don't attack me over this." "I should have sold." "Damn it." "What?" "Right after we got here, there was another offer on the place." "We would have made our money back, plus another 15%." "And you didn't even mention this to me?" "How could I?" "You would have taken the offer on the spot." "So you make this decision without even telling me?" "I held this family together for two years while you were looking for a job." "And then I come all the way out here when you decided this was the answer." "And now we had another option and you didn't even tell me about it?" "You held this family together?" "Is that why you and Jess can't even be in the same room for more than five minutes?" "No wonder the girl's a mess." "Damn, Denise." "Denise, I'm sorry." "Damn it." "[CREAKING]" "[FOOTSTEPS PATTERING]" "Damn." "JOHN:" "Everything okay, Roy?" "ROY:" "No matter what I do, I can't keep this family together." "[CAR HORN HONKING]" "Hey." "You all right?" "Do you want a ride?" "So where are we going?" "Feed store." "Why?" "Bobby, I'm gonna tell you something." "And I need you to believe me, because nobody else does." "Okay." "I don't think the Rollins just up and left." "What are you talking about, Jess?" "I think something really terrible happened to them." "I think they're dead." "I've seen them." "You've seen ghosts?" "Have you talked to your parents?" "I've tried but they won't listen to me." "Why?" "Back in Chicago, I messed up." "Like, six months ago, my mom was picking up my dad from the airport." "And his flight was late, so she called to see if I could pick up my little brother from the babysitter's house." "And I should have told her that I'd been drinking with my friends but..." "I mean, it wasn't like I was wasted or anything, and I thought I was okay to drive." "But we got in a wreck, and Ben had to go to the hospital." "And he hasn't talked since then." "I mean, they just haven't let it go yet." "Everybody makes mistakes, Jess." "Yeah." "Your sister's going to be okay." "Right, Benny?" "Say, "Right, Mama."" "What are you pointing at, Ben?"
