Yeah, I would love to, um...

uh, yeah, I'll be over in just

a couple of minutes.

Great, thank you so much.

I'll see you soon.

Okay, bye.

Thank you for calling.

I didn't think

I was gonna hear from you.

I wasn't going to, but...

when you said "validation,"

well, I could use some to.

So, um, how long have you

lived there?

Just over two months now.

So what are you

interested in, in me?

I rented the house, because I

had heard of the stories of it

being haunted, I'm writing

a book on the house,

and my experiences in it.

And I know that you lived there,

so I was really hoping

that maybe you could share some

of your experiences with me.

I think maybe you should leave.

Wait.

Please, Sue...

just talk to me?

I would really love to hear your

experiences, and get your story.

Can I?

If at the end, if you don't want

me to use any of this,

I'll give you the tape,

and...and you can keep it.

Interview with Sue Dryer,

former tenant of the house.

I just made some tea,

would you like some?

Yeah, that would be great.

So, did you have any strange

experiences in the house?

If you're referring to the house

being haunted,

yes, I did.

Did it... uh, start as soon as

you moved in?

No.

At first it was great.

I loved the house

And my son's school was right

down the street.

I was the president of the PTA.

My husband's work was close by,

and the yard was great

for my son to play in.

He loved that yard.

He would spend hours just

running around,

he never got tired.

So, when did things change?

About two weeks in.

Drawers and cabinets opened,

voices...

At first I thought it was neat.

I've always been fascinated

with the idea of ghosts.

I even bought one of those

tape recorders,

I was starting to try

to communicate with it.

Did you get anything?

Not really.

Some strange sounds

and things, but...

no voices or names or anything.

Thank you.

But then... it got stronger.

Things started happening

more often.

What kind of things?

Doors would open and shut

on their own.

Shadows... and those sheets.

People under sheets?

You've seen them too.

Did they ever interact with

you in any way?

I got pushed.

Pushed?

How?

I was going down toward

the bedroom, and I got pushed

from behind.

Was it Like a...like a shove

or just a soft push?

Hard enough to knock me down.

I told my husband about it,

he didn't believe me.

I was worried about my son,

I didn't want anything

to happen to him.

What did you do?

I told him I wanted to move.

And he just kept saying that I

was making excuses,

trying to get him to move

back to Colorado.

But those things that were

happening were real.

-I know.

I believe you.

It had this way of alienating me

from my husband and son.

It tormented me, but it never

showed itself to them.

So, your husband and your son

never had any experiences?

No.

Well, my son had

an imaginary friend.

He's so creative.

Your son's imaginary friend...

Did it have a name?

Yes it did, what was it?

It was um...

it was Tom.

Um...

so, what... what happened in

the house after you got pushed?

My husband and I started

fighting about it all the time.

That house killed my marriage.

He even took me in

for a psych evaluation.

A psych evaluation?

So it...it never did show itself

to your husband?

No.

I think it purposefully

did that to separate us.

I think it liked torturing me.

I think it wanted to kill me.

Did it do anything that would

give you the idea

that it wanted to kill you?

Yes.

The day of the psych evaluation.

My husband came home and told me

he had enrolled our son

in day care because he didn't

trust me with him.

We had a huge fight about it.

And then, he took off.

And I started screaming

at the house.

It was ruining my marriage.

And then...

everything got still

And...

the doors slammed shut.

I felt a hand on the back

of my head,

and my face slammed

into the floor.

What happened?

What did you do?

I don't remember anything else.

I woke up in the hospital

to a restraining order.

My husband thought I slammed my

head into the floor

because of our fight.

What?

He got full custody of my son.

I ended up back on the psych

ward for three months.

That house.

It took my life from me.

All the more reason

for your story to be told.

I think you should leave now.

Hey, Sue?

I'm really sorry for everything

that you went through.

You have to get

out of there now!

Don't you understand?

It's trying to kill you!

You're hurting my arm.

It'll alienate you

from everyone,

and then it'll come after you!

If it's showing itself to you,

it's only gonna get stronger!

You have to get out of there!

It's going to kill you!

Hail Mary, full of grace.

The Lord is with thee,

blessed art thou amongst women,

and blessed is the fruit

of thy womb, Jesus.

Hail Mary, full of grace!

Tom, is that you?

You don't have to be

afraid of me, Tom.

I'm not gonna hurt you.

Why don't you bring

the flashlight

out here and play, Tom?

Tom?

I know you're here,

so just talk to me!

Where are you?

[ frustrated yelling ]

Yeah, you're a big man!

You can shoot your wife in bed,

and show yourself to me?

[ frustrated yelling ]

Where are you!

Hey, Sam.

Hey, buddy, just calling

to check up on you.

Did the guys come by and drop

off your stuff or what?

No, the movers said

they probably wouldn't be here

until tomorrow.

Cool.

Hey, thanks again for getting

those last couple of boxes,

I just couldn't go over there.

Dude, you okay?

Yeah, I'm fine.

But I should probably

get back to it so, um,

I'll talk with you later.

Don't be a stranger.

Okay.

All right,

talk to you later, Ciao.

Bye.
