showing a property...

Down the street,

figured I'd swing by.

Thank you, you didn't have

to do that...

But-- a phone call would have

been good, but thank you.

No problem. What would you like

to discuss about the house?

Well, my kids found this very

old chest in the attic.

Yes. I believe I mentioned that

the remains of the house...

Were part of the purchase.

Yes, you did.

It's the contents of the chest

that's concerning me.

And what did you find?

Do you mind if I show you

for a second?

I'm here, might as well.

I'm sorry about that, I told my

kids not to play...

With this stuff until

i spoke with you.

Curious little things,

aren't they.

Hello again... dear.

Izzy!

I can see her hormones

are peaking.

Yeah, she hasn't been the same

since my wife passed away.

She'll come around...

Death changes people.

So, what's the problem?

Don't you find these

photographs peculiar?

Makes me wonder about the people

that lived here before us.

John, the house is over

100 years old.

I have no information

on the previous owners.

You're welcome to check

public records, if you like.

As for the photos, they had

various methods of altering...

These images. Spirit photography

was very popular in the 1800s.

Spirit photography?

Yes, during the spiritualist

movement...

People had seances and such.

Often photographers used

various lighting tricks...

To create interesting photos...

To build up hype

for their meetings.

How do you know all this?

I spend too much time in the new

age section of the book store.

Believe it or not,

it fascinates me.

So you think these photos

are staged?

Maybe... I don't know, maybe.

Excuse me. Victoria!

Aiden!

Victoria!

Is everything okay?

Jesus Christ!

Oh, my god! Baby? Baby?

Aiden! What happened?

What happened?

Oh, my god, do you want

to get her inside.

I got you, baby. I got you.

Come here.

I got you. I got you, baby.

I got you.

Victoria, come on, ssh.

Baby... baby girl.

John, what can I do?

Come on, are you okay, honey?

Baby girl, up.

Daddy?

Yeah, sweetie?

I saw mommy outside.

Claire, could you go

to the kitchen...

And get us a glass of water?

Right away!

Are you okay, sweetie?

Yeah, I'm just a little dizzy.

All right, well, just sit up,

you want to sit up?

You want to lay down?

Yeah.

Breathe.

Hey, buddy, are you okay?

You're gonna be fine. Why don't

you scoot upstairs and change?

Nobody needs to know!

Thank you. Thank you so much

for your help.

I'm glad she's okay.

I'm gonna get her to a doctor.

I'm-- I'm sure she'll be fine...

But best to make sure

everything is in order.

Yup, that really scared me.

They're lucky to have you.

Oh, thanks.

If you need anything,

feel free to reach out.

Thank you very much.

How you feeling, baby girl?

I'm fine, honestly!

I thought I told you not to play

with this stuff.

But... I like it.

Can I keep it, please?

Okay, but only if we can

get you to a doctor first.

No, I feel fine.

No excuses, we're going.

I probably just had

low blood sugar.

It happens to people all the

time, I searched it.

We're going, get dressed.

Get out of my room!

You're never around when I need

you.

Your sister just passed out

in the backyard...

And you couldn't care less.

She did?

Yes... I'm taking her and Aiden

to the doctor.

And I need you to start

caring more...

And start trying more

and be present.

I can't believe you moved

into the Addams family house.

Really?

Oh, shut up!

Where can we--

in the backyard.

Oh, f***, you're hot.

What the hell?

What?

I thought you said

your family left.

They did.

Mm-mm. Wait, I saw someone.

Oh, my god.

Just hold on, one second.

What?

I just saw someone, I swear!

There is nothing.

Come on, they're not here.

Sh*t, it's my dad.

Hello?

Um... yeah, just the usual

is fine.

Okay, you have to go right now!

No, no, no, no, no.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Babe, I swear--

they're on their way.

No, no, no, no,

we'll be really quick.

No, I don't have really quick.

I just need a minute, seriously.

No minutes, come on!

Ah-da-da-da, they're really

quick. Where's your jacket?

Sh*t, seriously?

Yes.

Seriously?

Yes! Get out!

Don't you want to--

no, come on, later, later.

Come on, go ahead.

Okay, okay, okay,

go, go, go, go!

Hurry.

What did the doctor say?

He said he thinks it was

low blood sugar.

He said if it happens again,

we can take her in...

And get an mri

and some blood work.

No one's getting my blood.

All right, that burger

was gross.

I should probably get my lazy

butt upstairs and start cleaning

out that attic.

Can you keep an eye on

them while I'm up there?

Uh, yeah,

i think I can do that.

Hey, I'm glad you're feeling

better, Vic.

Okay.

What the hell is that now?

And that's the end of him.

Who are you?

Elena... Elena tolwood.

What are you doing up here?

Why are you in my house?

Why are you in my house? Do your

parents know you're here?

It's too late.

It's too late for what, hun?

Burn them.

Burn what?

Burn them.

She's coming!

Elena tolwood.

Madame Addison's house of

spiritualism was a well known...

Place for social seances.

During the mid 1800's, she held

countless numbers of seances...

And rituals for those who sought

to contact the dead.

In late October of 1891, madame

Addison was found strangled...

To death in her home.

Four other people were also

found dead.

No one truly knows what

happened, but many believe...

It was the outcome of a seance

gone horribly wrong.

Give me the doll and the camera.

But, dad!

I said no!

This doll reminds me of mom.

Honey, this stuff... it's--

it's not good. Give it to me.

This is bullshit.

Aiden, go to your room!

What the hell

is happening to me?

Dad.

What?

Why are you doing that?

Because it's garbage,

that's why.

But I like that stuff.

It gives the house character.

Well, I've had it up to here

with this house...

And it's characters,

it's gone.

Can I please just have the doll?

Absolutely not.

Mom would have let me have it.

Well, your mom is gone,

isn't she?

Help me, daddy! It hurts!

I'll kill you.

You evil b*tch!

Tainted by the devil!

Kill them.

Does that sound crazy, mom?

John's mom

when your father passed...

I thought I saw him around

the house a few times.

I keep having these

hallucinations.

John's mom are you

taking your anti-depressants?

Yes, of course.

John's mom

okay... did you look...

Into the history of the house?

Apparently there was a murder

and the woman who owned it...

Ran some type of church

out of it.

John's mom

there's your answer.

The realtor didn't mention

any of that when you asked?

Nope.

John's mom

well, if I'm not mistaken...

She is required by law

to mention...

That kind of stuff.

Um, yeah, I really had

to dig around...

To find out anything

about this house.

John's mom

the best thing to do...

Is ignore any type

of occurrences.

Don't feed into the

negative energy.

I used to burn Sage in our
