and Daddy into mine.

Nana said with this we will

always be together.

You'll be with me and

I'll be with you.

I miss you and Daddy.

Hey, Hon!

Yeah?

You're not gonna believe this.

Carolyn's voice didn't record.

- What do you mean?

- Listen.

My name is Ed Warren. It's November 1st, 1971.

I am sitting here with Carolyn Peron.

And her family who have been experiencing

supernatural occurrences.

Alright, go ahead.

Hurm, from the first occurence.

Nothing! The whole time. I don't know,

you find anything?

A lot. That makes no wonder they

going through what they are.

That the original farm house, built

in 1863 by a man named Jedson Sherman,

He was married to a woman

named Bathsheba.

And she related to

Mary Town Esty.

She's one of the woman accused of witchcraft

and assailant, she hindering a trial.

So, after Bathsheba married

Jedson, they had a baby.

And when the baby was

seven days old, Jedson

caught her sacrificing it in

front of the fireplace.

She ran out to that tree by the dock,

climbed up, proclaimed her love to Satan,

cursed anyone who tried

to take her land,

and hung herself.

Time of death was pronounced

at 3:
07 in the morning.

- Well, that explains a few things.

- Here, so does this.

Her last name was Walker, she

lived there in the 30's.

She had a boy named Rory, who

mysteriously disappeared in the woods.

Then she killed herself in the cellar.

And that's not all.

See what was the original 200 acre farm,

has been subdivided and sold off.

There was another boy who

drowned in the pond here.

He lived in the house over here,

And the woman worked

as a maid in the

neighboring home, she

committed suicide, too.

People who took her land.

I am sitting here

with Carolyn Peron.

And her family who have been experiencing

supernatural occurrences.

Alright, go ahead.

From the first occurence.

Owh, here's Brad.

- You find it okay?

- Oh, yeah.

Drew, this is Officer Brad.

Officer Brad Hamilton, Harris Ville,

Rhode Island PD.

Nice to meet you, man.

So, you're lucky new cop, huh?

Guess so.

- You're here to catch some ghost, right?

- Take it easy, Adam Drew.

Okay, so help me get the

stuffs unloaded.

Take this.

Whatever!

When you're finished here, why don't

you head upstairs, alright?

You got it.

What's wrong with the Chevy?

Uh, what's not wrong with her.

- Needs a new carburetor to start.

- Oh, yeah?

Kind of put fixing her

up on hold for a while.

Yeah.

You hand me in the

thermostat, would you?

What's this, uh, do?

Owh if there's an instanst drop

of the temperature,

thermostat triggers the

camera to take a picture.

Do you actually caught things on film?

Yeah, that's the point.

Why, uh... Why out here?

Well, this is where the

witch committed suicide.

She hung herself from the branch

right above where you're standing.

How could a mother

kill her own child?

He was never a child to her.

She just used her god given gift

as the ultimate of fence against him.

Which is believed will elevate

her status in the eyes of Satan.

Hm. Well...

that's a nice stay at the beach, huh?

How did you know?

Some insight, it's like a peek

through the curtain in

another person's life.

Hmmm.

They means so much to me.

We're driving along the coast.

Nancy pointed out how pretty

the view was.

I thought this is the perfect

opportunity for a photo.

We're gonna starts fresh, you know.

A new house, a new beginning.

You should've seen Roger and the girls.

I've never seen them so happy.

They mean the world to me.

Put your hand flat on the desk.

- Hmm?

- Now take it off.

Here we go.

See? It's just revealed source

that naked eye can't see.

Pretty fired, isn't it?

Yes, it's scurvy.

Drew, you get the bullet

ready for Brad?

Yeah, already log in on, sir.

What? I had to go.

All the rooms are coming in pretty good.

Good!

- What's in the bottle?

- Holy water.

The presence of

religious icons will...

get the reactions from

any thing unholy.

Sort of pisses them off.

So I set these throughout the house,

see I can stir things up a bit.

- Like holding a cross to a vampire?

- Yeah, exactly.

Still don't believe in vampires.

Wasn't me.

Brad, get the camera.

Right, it's 9:
18, we headed down to the

cellar with the door just open on its own.

Have Lorraine and Officer

Brad Hamilton with me.

Lets keep the cellar light off.

Give us a sign that you want

to communicate with us.

Everything alright?

Definitely something's in here.

Alright close the door,

we'll start it!

Come on.

Now.

- Come!

- I get on this.

Now there.

Well, like I said, doesn't

always work when you want it to.

Yeah, maybe the camera

picks something up.

Watch out.

For a guy who doesn't believe,

you looked a little freaked out

when the door slammed shut.

It must have been a draft.

Owh, it's funny.

A draft never put that look

on my face before.

I believe the clock.

It's 3:
08.

I think I might take the

girls for ice cream later on.

- What do you say about that?

- Oh, yeah!

- Honey, you wanna come?

- No, I'm exhausted.

I'm just gonna take a nap.

The late night, they're getting to me.

Probably it's a good idea.

Why don't you get some rest,

Lorraine and I watch

over things for a bit.

Really?

I better take off, my shift

starting in an hour.

Oh, the house doesn't felt

like this in a long time. I think

the kids feel a lot

safer with you around.

- I can get used to this.

- What, me doing laundy?

A nice place, nice, fresh country air, huh?

Uh-huh.

This... such a beautiful

family, don't they?

Yeah, the little one, April.

She brings you some pancakes?

Yeah.

- We've gotta help them.

- I know.

I'll start with the Chevy.

Carolyn, are you okay?

Carolyn, open the door!

Carolyn, open up!

- Are you okay?

- I'm fine.

You sick?

I woke up, just feeling

little nauseous, that's all.

- I thought I saw..

- I hear Roger and the girls.

A minute.

Nancy! Nancy, come on!

You like junk!

- Hey guys, you wanna play..

- Boring.. - Thank you Daddy.

Let's go play.

- I thought that was you.

- Hey, I hope you don't mind.

Get a good deal on a rebuilt, the

a wrecking yard in Smithfield.

- Nice. Looks like you know what you're doing.

- Yeah, we'll see.

Got a nice place here, Roger.

Lorraine and I always wanted a

spot in the country.

I'll sell you this one.

Hey, get me the wrench, would you?

Hey, uh...

Really means a lot to us

to have you here.

I gotta admit I was a little

bit skeptical going in.

I just want to say thank you, though

for coming out, what you did.

I can't take the credit. It, uh...

It's all Lorraine's.

- I didn't want to!

- Oh, why is that?

Whatever Lorraine

sees, feels, touches...

it helps people, but

it also takes a toll on her.

Little piece each time.

Couple months ago we

worked on a case.

She saw something.

It took a real big piece.

When we got home, she went into

our room, locked herself in.

Didn't talk, didn't eat,

didn't come out for 8 days.
