I'm not sure.

Why?

I found these at my house

and...

I just want to know

what they say.

I think they maybe in Polish,

but...

Doris wrote them.

- I'm not sure I understand...

- I saw her.

I believe Sister Hannah came here

from Poland during the war. I can...

I can ask her

to look at them.

Lina.

What are these?

Hopefully nothing, father.

Father.

What a nice surprise.

I'm sorry to call on you

like this.

I was hoping I could

take you up on that reading.

Oh, uh.

Please come in.

... the landing field by

U.S. astronauts in 1970.

I gotta say I'm surprise.

I thought...

I thought you were

against the idea of...

I changed my mind.

Astronauts walk and work.

Their capsules make...

Hi, father.

Lina, hi.

I thought I would see first hand

what all the fuss was about.

Doris, would you be willing to...

In a series of pinpoint bull's eye splashdowns

Gloria is your wife's name, right?

That's right.

Gloria.

Are you here?

Darling.

She's a little hard to hear.

IMISSEDYOU:

You missed me.

Gloria, what's your middle name?

Lynn.

Is that right?

Remarkable.

You forgive me?

For what?

FIGH Thank you, love.

But what was that fight about?

She says it's not important.

DON' HIDE

BEHIND:

COLLAR:

WANT YOU:

TO BE:

Happy.

That was something.

Thank you, Doris, for doing that.

I'm afraid that's not the

only reason I came by.

Lina's gotten herself

in some trouble in school.

What?

Isn't that right, Lina?

I'm sorry, Mom.

What kind of trouble?

I rather not talk about it here.

Is there somewhere we can

speak in private?

Um, we can talk in

your office in the morning.

I prefer to speak to you about it

right now, if that's alright?

I promise it won't take long.

We can go up to my room.

I want to come.

How old are you now, Doris?

Nine.

Nine, well.

You're practically a young lady.

You think you can manage to

hold down the fort on your own

for a few minutes?

Are you up for that?

What's this about, father?

Can I watch TV?

Of course.

It's right this way.

Where did she write them?

Over there.

Where're you going?

Mom, please.

My wife's middle name was Catherine.

I'm sorry, I...

Is this about your reading?

My mother's middle name was Lynn.

Did you see her writing these,

actually writing them?

- Yes, right over there?

- Um.

Sometimes the medium gets confuse,

different voices...

I tricked her.

What are those?

Do not believe every spirit, but test

the spirits to see whether they are from God.

For many false prophets

have gone out into the world.

John, chapter 4 verse 1.

I thought this was about Lina.

It's about all of you.

Please.

She started by calling me darling,

an easy guess.

A common term of endearment.

Then said she missed me

and appealed to comfort.

Did you bring my

up here to tell me

my 9 year old daughter

is a fraud?

Oh, no.

I don't think she's a fraud.

Not at all.

When I asked for

Gloria's middle name,

I thought the word "Lynn"

as hard as I could.

I repeated it over and over

in my mind.

Why would you do that?

Because when we ask a question

we know the answer to,

we think the answer

as we ask it.

That's right.

And she was listening to me.

I thought "Lynn",

she said "Lynn".

When I asked what

our fight was about,

I cleared my mind.

Just imagine static on a television set.

She changed the subject.

Your wife's voice?

We all heard it.

It was a woman's voice, that's all.

Just a woman's voice.

I'm so shocked to hear it

come from her mouth.

I don't really scrutinized whether

it sounded exactly like Gloria.

And she only says one word,

enough for me to hear

it's a woman

but not enough for anything else.

Accent, inflection,

nothing too familiar.

I don't think your daughter

is a fraud.

I believe she is channeling powers

and forces we do not understand.

But, I'm certain

she was not channeling my wife.

Don't take your badge off.

Hey, Doris.

What's the skinny?

Is Lina home?

Come in.

Actually, not right now.

She and Mom are talking

to the man about us.

They'll be right back.

They...

They left you here alone?

They'll be here any minute.

She said you should wait.

Yeah?

You want to see something neat?

Yeah, maybe I should...

I should come back later.

There's treasure in the walls.

We used it

to pay the bills.

Yeah, I heard about that,

kind of.

The treasure in the walls,

is that for real?

I'll show you.

She'll be here any second.

This is something Doris wrote.

Sister Hannah came here

from Poland during the War.

I asked her to translate them.

It upset her a great deal.

This is a journal from

a man named Marcus,

who grew up in Poland

during the Second World War.

He talks about his family,

how they were rounded up

by the Germans during the invasion.

It's this way.

I found a hole in the wall

behind the furnace

and the money was inside.

It was old and dusty.

I think there's more.

Hannah talks about a doctor

at the camps.

They called him the Devil's doctor

because of his interest

in the occult

and the experiments

he conduct on the patients.

He talks about being

rescued by the Allies.

He came to America

and lived on the streets,

ended up in a mental hospital.

I found some jewelery

in there too.

But I put it back,

for later.

He recognized one of the doctors,

using a different name

but he knew it was

the Devil's doctor.

It's not unlikely a lot of them

fled to America after the war.

And then one night, the doctor

took him out of the hospital

and brought him to his house.

He describes the house.

This house.

He says the doctor

had a secret room

in the basement where the experiments

continued on Marcus and others.

He cut out their tongues.

He severed their vocal cords

and sealed their mouths.

Kept them in the secret basement.

So even his people visited

and socialized upstairs

they couldn't be heard below.

My god.

And he describes his murder

in great detail.

His murder?

The journal doesn't stop there.

There could be

so much more in there.

He talks about after.

After his murder?

Things that can help my family.

He talks about being in the dark

with the others.

Voiceless, cold, insane

And he talks about

the other things in the dark.

Things that were never human.

Things that were taking him over.

You were right.

What you said about this house.

Good bones.

No.

She knew things.

Things only Roger and I knew.

I asked...

You asked about things that

happened inside the house.

Things that you and Dad

said and did after you moved in.

Of course they knew

all of the answers.

They were here

in the house even then.

They were watching.

So we move,

we get her out of the house.

The problem isn't the house,

not anymore.

I've called the Archdiocese, the Vatican

has people who investigate these things.

- I'll ask them to approve an exorcism.

- Shh.

Shh.

Don't say anything else.

They were watching us

all those years

inside the house,

everything we did.

That means they are
