---

it's important to remember

that some spirits won't move on

because of attachments

to earthly pleasures.

Others are tethered by strong emotions,

like love or revenge."

- Daniel, this is...

- Look, it takes three people.

If this doesn't work,

then I'm f***ing nuts,

and that's that.

"Form a circle of hands, palms down

before you, fingers touching.

Guilty party addresses

the scorned spirit...

confirms motives before attempting

to amend harms.

Clear your minds of hindering thoughts

and breathe as one."

Mona Wilson...

We are gathered here today to ask you

why you haven't moved on.

Guess she's still not much

of a conversationalist.

We are calling on you to answer

this question by guiding these quills

through our own hands.

Hold your writing implements,

close your eyes, and await communication.

Abby!

Daniel!

Abby!

We have to call someone.

The police or your probation guy.

And tell them what?

That we were having a sance

and we stabbed you in the hand

and then an evil spirit wrote my name

on the wall in your blood?

You're not even supposed to be here.

Yeah, well, at least it'll get you

the f*** out of here.

You saw what she wrote on the wall.

She's not after the house.

How long do you think

I'm gonna last in a 6-by-9-foot cell

with bars on the door or a padded room?

Maybe if I can convince the cops

that I'm being haunted,

they'll hook me up with some 4-point

restraints or a f***ing straitjacket!

The sh*t you found online about

contacting spirits, that worked, right?

So?

So, who's to say that this sh*t about

getting rid of them isn't just as legit?

Look, right now I'm ready

to f***ing try anything.

Following a saging session,

natural-fiber brooms can be used

to sweep the home from west to east.

...employ a combination of absorbent

powders, along with a series...

Stones should be arranged

throughout the house,

following these hygienic measures

to anchor the positive energies...

...electrical and microwaves

by focusing on naturally occurring...

A solitary practitioner

can easily construct...

Try to feel natural...

...throughout the house,

following these hygienic measures...

White rice seems to have

a particular potency...

...hanging text from ceilings

to alter the energy flow in the room.

Consumer-grade cameras can be modified

to see further into the ultraviolet...

...into the light spectrum by altering

or removing internal filters.

...establishing a multicamera surveillance

grid throughout the affected environment.

Compasses haven't moved.

Same with the electronics.

They aren't attracting anything.

I haven't heard a thing from the chimes.

We'll stick around.

I got sick days.

I'll call into work and tell 'em.

No.

I'm okay.

Hey, Abby?

Thanks.

Anytime.

Like tying a knot

You stiffened to me

And when it got taut

You tore yourself free

Oh, darlin', how could you dare?

You won't be climbing my dark hair

From reservoirs of maiden stars

Lead us on

You will not find the forest floor

Where I lie

Oh, darlin', it's not your kiss

Pressing me deep in the loaminess

As crimson leaves fall from the trees

As we roll

And shadows bow on the path

Where we stroll

I want to erase

The contours we made

And tumbling from grace

How quickly we fade

O, darlin', how could you dare?

You won't be climbing my dark hair

As pounding waves flood

through the maze...

- How you doing, buddy?

- Pretty good.

Say hello to your wife.

I've been doing this for so long...

I don't remember anything else.

Smokes?

Well...

Most of the time,

when I look up from that file

into the eyes of the boy

in front of me...

I can see it's... it's too late.

Now, I'm not saying that I'm...

having a sixth sense

or anything like that.

I do have a good eye for badness.

Now and then...

I look up from that file.

I'll be damned if I can't see anything.

You were on that call that night.

Yeah, yeah.

You saw what she did to herself.

I'm gonna write this off...

like some equipment

malfunction, whatever.

Listen closely.

One more signal from that device...

it's out of my hands.

Yeah.

It's out of my hands.

Daniel?

- What the f***?

- Daniel?!

Daniel!

I mean, we have to find an adult

that will listen to us.

- I am an adult.

- There's got to be something we missed.

Look, anyone that's gonna

listen to this sh*t

and not have me locked up on the spot

is crazier than I am.

Totems.

What?

Use a totem. "Some report increased

success calming vengeful spirits

when in possession of a totem,

a personal item with profound and positive

emotional resonance to the spirit.

This personal item binds the spirit

to the physical world

and gives you some influence

over its actions."

Totems?

Their system's been on "away"

for a week straight.

Their garage hasn't been opened either,

and the grocery-delivery service is on hold.

Guess they decided to mourn

somewhere else.

I can kill the alarm,

but keep an eye out for patrols.

This place is like a f***ing castle.

In back. The east side.

Come on.

It should be straight ahead now.

There.

That's it.

Parents of the f***ing year.

Christ.

Girl didn't even own a pair of earrings.

What the f***?

Looks like your dream girl

liked to cut herself.

Not too much positive emotional

resonance in here.

Hey.

Right. Pan it right.

The north wall... it shouldn't be there.

Well, it is.

What the f***?

Are you getting this sh*t?

Jesus.

Go back.

There. Stop there.

Holy sh*t.

She was stalking him?

What is that?

"Goddess's servants I do hire.

Enchant the object of my desire.

Fill his mind with thoughts of me,

that I be his queen and he my bee."

Let's get the f*** out of here.

Falkaroth.

It's not easy for me to talk to you.

I never expected for things to be like this.

Everything just went wrong.

You will feel what I feel.

Reach for the unknown.

Where were you?! We almost got busted!

I got into her cloud. It was a spell...

a f***ing enchantment spell.

It worked, but she didn't count on me

being too much of a p*ssy

to actually go through with it,

so she cast a second one.

- What?

- I think it's in Latin.

This is about possession.

- What, like demonic possession?

- No, this is different.

It's about inhabiting the body

of another to form a union.

The first step is set your spirit free

under the gaze of the one you desire.

Read the next one.

The second step is make him read

a verse that unlocks your heart.

F***.

"When my soul

no longer takes this form..."

The third one is make him draw the symbol

of your goddesses' choosing.

F***. I traced it...

to do an image search.

The fourth step is make him shed

his own blood by his own hand.

Sh*t.

If someone who loves you performs the

fifth step without doing the others first,

- the spell fails.

- What's the fifth step?

- F***.

- Come on!

Go, go, go, go!

I love you.

Daniel!

- Come on!

- Daniel, we have to go!

Get down!

Sh*t!

- Run! Run!

- Sh*t!

Watch out!
