How dare you say that to me.

I would never do

that to you, never.

Do you know what?

I can't do this anymore.

I need some time apart.

I can't, I can't do this.

[slow orchestral music]

Look, I don't want

to lose you, okay.

I don't want to

live without you.

You need to trust me, I

would never, never hurt you.

Yeah?

You know that, don't you?

Yeah.

[water rushing]

[mysterious music]

Come on Tom, get up.

Get up!

[mysterious music]

[groaning]

Leah?

Leah!

Leah!

Leah!

Leah!

Leah!

Leah!

Leah!

Three long years I've been

trapped in this house.

My food supply started

to run very low.

I wouldn't have lasted this long

if the cellar hadn't

been full of food.

She knows I'm here,

whatever she is.

Strange noises

haunt me at night.

I like being in the cellar,

because I can't hear

the noises she makes.

I need to find the

entrance to the Vale.

That is the only way out.

But I only have four

hours to find it.

I figured it out, that

the only time she rests

is from 1:
00 p.m. 'til

5:
00 p.m., daytime.

After that, she

comes looking for me.

I'm writing these

diaries in the cellar.

It's 12:
30, she comes

out looking for me,

trying to figure out

a way into the house.

The spell I use does work.

Around the house, the

circle of red sand

to keep her from getting to me.

The front door

opened the other day,

and she stood there looking

at me with soulless eyes.

I held a cross up to her, but

it just exploded in my hand.

She wants me for something,

but I don't know what.

Where are you going, Tom?

Just leave me alone all

right, you're not real.

Charming, your

girlfriend isn't real.

What, do you not remember?

What?

You died!

I couldn't save you,

I had to bury you.

- Want me to show you?

- No.

Do you want some proof, hey?

- Tom!

- Come on, let,

let's have a look.

- Let go!

- Let's have a look.

- Right here, right here!

- You're hurting me.

Tom, that really hurt.

[deep, ominous musical tones]

I'm here, aren't I?

Isn't that real enough?

[slow, haunting music]

[haunting choral music]

I try every day

to leave the Vale.

Days pass, years pass,

music is changing,

life is going on without me.

Lady Lucy hunts

for me, every day.

I still don't know what

the spirit wants from me.

I don't want to find out.

I found out that Lady Lucy kills

everything she goes past.

Trees, flowers will

die in her presence.

The smell of her perfume lets

me know when she's close.

I read every one

of Carl's diaries

about what happened to

Lucy on her wedding night.

She does seem to

be scared of fire.

[deep, ominous musical tones]

Come on you b*tch, what

are you waiting for?

It's right there,

waiting for you.

Go for the nice dolly.

B*tch, come on.

Where are you?

Come on.

Come on.

[wind whipping]

[laughing] How do

you like it, eh?

You're the one

that's trapped now.

So what do you want from me, eh?

I'm right here.

What do you want?

Why did you have to take

her, what did she ever do?

What have I ever done?

[bells slowly tolling]

[sighing]

Hello mate, you all right?

Yeah, I'm good, I'm good.

Listen, who told you that

this bridge was haunted?

And the area around

it, who said that,

where did you get

your information from?

So you've not got any sold

proof or anything like that?

You've got no solid proof?

'Cause this is what I need,

this is why I've been,

I've been setting triggers

off and objects and stuff.

I've been here for days now,

and I'm just not

gettin' anything.

And I need that proof,

obviously for the book.

'Cause I don't, I don't

wanna pass off information

that, that I've got no,

you know, I can't back up.

So you've not got

anything over here?

All right, all right.

Well, no, I'm not

going now obviously,

'cause it's gonna

piss it down tonight.

So, it's not gonna happen.

All right pal, see

you later, ta-da.

on this earth.

[dramatic, scary music]

[ominous musical tones]

[water rushing]

[radio static buzzing]

Hello, is anyone

there, can you hear me?

[Man Over Radio]

Hello, is anybody there?

Hello, hello, yes, my name...

- Yeah, we can hear you, yeah.

- my name's Tom Crow.

- Please, please help me.

- Hello?

I'm, I'm trapped in this

place called the Vale.

I don't know exactly

where it is but...

[radio static]

[Man Over Radio] Hello, hello?

- Is anybody there?

- What's the date?

Could you tell me the date?

[Man Over Radio] Yeah,

we can hear you, yeah.

Hello?

- Hello.

- That's not the date.

[woman laughing]

[slow, solemn strings music]

[thunder clapping]

My name is Anna Sterling.

This will be my last diary entry

before I try and leave

the Vale for good.

Strange but the Vale

is getting quiet now.

I'm not sure if I'm

the last person here.

The spirit of Lady

Lucy's stalking me.

Oh god, I'm so scared of

even leaving my house.

Sometimes, I look

through the window

and I can see her floating across

the lake, carrying a doll.

She doesn't seem to have

any eyes, just black holes.

And does she know I'm here?

Maybe she's looking for me.

It's only a matter of time

until she comes to my home.

I pray most of the

time, just to stay sane.

I will use the lantern

at the Vale sign

to guide me through the

darkness of the Vale.

And I must stay

away from the mist.

Caroline went in there

and I never saw her again.

I've got to pack my

things and leave.

[crying]

Who art in heaven,

hallowed be thy name.

Thy kingdom come. [crying]

Thy will be done on

earth as in heaven

Give us this day

our daily bread.

Forgive our trespasses,

as we forgive those who

trespass against us.

Lead us not into temptation,

deliver us from evil.

Amen. [crying]

[deep, ominous musical tones]

[tense, somber music]

[doll clunking]

[tense, somber music]

[water rushing]

Come on Lucy, come and get me.

Come on!

Come on!

[grunting]

[tense, suspenseful music]

[glass breaking]

[haunting music]

I know I'm safe in this circle

but time is running out for me.

I've got a drop of water

left in this bottle,

and then I'll go to

the river for more.

I see things, horrible things.

Two days ago I saw

what looked like a dog

but with a human body.

It walked backwards

into the darkness.

I keep hoping I'm just

having a nightmare

and I'll wake up,

with Leah by my side.

I also saw something that

I can't quite explain,

a person with holes for

eyes, just like Lady Lucy.

It tried to touch
