- I was wrong

to think that this was
gonna be a happy house.

road, everything changed.

Slam!

- I don't believe in ghosts.

But I do now.

- It's not humanly possible.

- Mom, go, go, go!

- I was gonna die that night...

And all I could think was,

"my daughter's
going to die too?"

[People singing happy birthday]

- ♪ Happy birthday to you ♪

♪ happy birthday, dear Izzy ♪

♪ happy birthday to you ♪

- Our daughter Isabella
was a miracle to us.

We lost three pregnancies,

and we didn't think we
were gonna be parents.

- Five years old.

- Yeah.
- Jeez!

- We'd given up hope.

And she came.

Not only did we have
our child that we wanted,

she was brilliant.

She always was
beyond every level

that she was supposed
to be at that age Mark.

I couldn't have asked
for anything more.

- We decided to buy a house.

It was time. The
apartment was small.

It was time to buy that house
with the white picket fence.

- We knew what
we were limited to,

and you know,
what our budget was,

and we found a home
that was suitable.

We paid for the
inspection and so forth.

It came back there was
a lot of structural damage

and would cost us a lot
of money in years to come.

As we were talking,

I saw an older gentleman

putting a sign out
on his front lawn:

For sale by owner.

It wasn't the house of my
dreams but I saw potential.

- I found it odd

that they had only
been living there a year

and they were all ready
to move after a year.

- The price he was selling
the house for was very cheap

in comparison to what
the houses were going for

on the market at that time.

And he said he would
pay all closing costs.

And I said to Brian,
"we're a young couple.

"We have a new child.

Let's take this gift
and move forward."

Do I wish I would
have been forewarned?

Would I have even believed it?

I had to live it.

I had to be a part
of it to believe.

- We had plans
for Isabella's room,

but first we had to get
the color off the walls.

It was this real deep, dark red.

I mean dark red.

I actually painted it
with gray primer first

to knock the color out,
and it just didn't help.

I mean, it just bled
right back through,

and it literally

looked like blood was
running down the wall.

It actually took
four to five coats

to cover the red in her room.

- But she settled in well.

My daughter settled
in well to the house.

- She had her own room,

and you know, she
was very happy at first.

I started to notice that she
would always wave "bye-bye"

to the attic door.

It was a little odd because
there was nothing there.

But I wasn't really
worried at that point.

- I think our daughter
has an imaginary friend.

- Kids do that. Kids
have imaginary friends.

- Emily, you shouldn't
have done that.

- It wasn't long after

that I heard her
talking and singing.

First I'm thinking she's
talking to her dollies.

She's playing.

- And all the paint
is on the carpet.

And you're painting my room red,

and red's a horrible color.

- Who you talking
to, sweetheart?

- Emily.

- She spoke of Emily

like Emily was right
there in front of us.

- Well, would
Emily like one too?

- At the beginning, it was fun.

I clearly wasn't thinking
and it was anything more

than an imaginary friend.

But then,

we began to notice things
in our home happening.

And at the time, I
blamed my daughter.

I was in the kitchen.

Isabella was
playing right nearby.

Then all of a sudden...

Smash!

I just heard something
hit the floor and break.

The first thing out of
Isabella's mouth was,

"Emily, that was bad.
That was mommy's."

She just broke a statue,

and she's gonna
blame it on Emily?

My reaction was to be in denial,

but I knew from the look
on my daughter's face,

Isabella just saw something.

I felt, like...

The hair on the back
of my neck stood up.

- Emily doesn't like you, mommy.

- Emily doesn't want you here.

What do you answer back to that?

- ♪ Mary had a little lamb ♪

♪ little lamb ♪

♪ Mary had a little lamb ♪

- I noticed that Isabella
began to change a bit.

- ♪ And everywhere
that Mary went ♪

♪ Mary went ♪

- She started to spend
more time in her bedroom.

- ♪ Everywhere that Mary went ♪

♪ the lamb was sure to go ♪

- I would hear my
daughter singing

Mary had a little lamb,

and we never taught
that to my daughter.

The way she sang
the nursery rhyme,

it wasn't like she
sang other things.

I went on a full investigation

of who taught my
daughter the nursery rhyme.

And when I questioned
Isabella, her response was,

"mommy, I'm learning."

But she wouldn't tell me
who she was learning from.

- I'm not the type of
person to easily get scared.

Like, I really have to see it.

One of the first times
I felt uncomfortable,

I was in the bathroom,

and I just kept feeling this
sense of being watched.

And I literally felt like a
tug at the bottom of my shirt.

Isabella?

All of a sudden, I seen a shadow

ricochet off of my bedroom door

and shoot down the hallway.

I thought it was the car lights,

you know, coming
down the street,

shining off the window.

I was like, "wait a minute.

"We're on the second floor.

"The shades are down.

It wasn't a car."

And I'm thinking to myself,

"there must be
something going on here."

And I really didn't
want to say anything

to my wife about it yet.

I didn't want to start surmising
and make her really scared.

- Later on, Isabella come
running over to the door,

and she had a horrifying
look on her face.

- Emily's mom hurt
her in the bathtub.

- "Emily's mommy
hurt her in the bathtub."

She wouldn't know about
a mommy hurting a little girl.

Where is she
getting this stuff from?

I could see fear in my daughter.

- You have to say
good-bye to Emily,

okay, Isabella?

- "This Emily character,
make her go away.

It's done, Isabella, please."

I just felt a sickness
in my stomach.

What went from my
daughter's imaginary friend

is coming to be an ugly story.

Could she be making this up?

And if she could
be making this up

and these dark things are
coming from my daughter,

we need to get her help.

I let Isabella's
pediatrician know

we've been having some problems.

- So you have an
imaginary friend.

What's her name?

- Emily.

- You know she's
not real though,

just pretend.

- She's not pretend.

- She wasn't at all
taken aback or surprised.

It was normal.

It was, "Laurel,
don't worry about it.

You know, she'll outgrow this."

We have a very rambunctious
five-year-old daughter.

She has a personality
that's bigger than life,

and she's okay.

- I know, but it's just so
much fun to do it yourself.

- The next day,

we didn't hear
anything about Emily.

- Oh, really?

- It was normal. It felt great.

Emily you're over. You're done.

- The day had been awesome.

We had fun.

It was relaxing.

- We pull in,

and Brian was coming
behind me holding Isabella.

- Then it's my job.
- It's your job?

- Stay home and get money.

- She just got quiet.

- It just wasn't possible.

- The day had been awesome.

We had fun.

- It's your job? Then
what am I supposed to do?

- Stay home and get money.

- We were having a conversation

as we were walking
into the door.

She just got quiet.

There was about,
like, 20 pictures

in the middle of the floor.

- I was speechless.

I could not believe
what we were seeing.

- I mean, it was a
whole wall of happiness

and then it was all
off the wall, facedown

like somebody didn't
want to see a happy family.

They just wanted to see nothing.

I was scared, because
I know I didn't do it,

I know she didn't do it,

and I know Isabella
couldn't reach it to do it.

Something doesn't want us here

or something might
want my daughter.

I wanted to just leave,

take everything and go.

Financially, that just
wasn't an option at that time.

We were stuck,

and things were getting worse.

I was in the bedroom one night.

Isabella ran up to me.

- Daddy, the white
face is in the window!

- "The white face
is in the window."

- What's that?

- The white face
is in the window!

- I seen it.

And it was just
like a blur of a face.

- Honey, you wait here.

- I saw it, and it
freaked me out.

I went and checked it out.

And there was
literally nothing there.

I never believed
in ghosts, but, um...

I do now.

- The vibe in my home
was turning negative.

It was turning dark.

Things were happening
that were out of my control.

- Hey, sweetie. Hello.

Let's go.

- I needed to make things,
just brand-new for Isabella,

and Brian's mom took her
away for a weekend trip.

I had a vision for
Isabella's room.

I wanted it to be bright,

glowing soft colors.

So we made one
whole wall wizard of oz.

The room was a
new thing to all of us.

It was something we had done,

and it felt good for a
moment in my home.

I phoned Brian's mom,
Judy, to come over.

- You need to go
show Nana your room,

'cause I made a
surprise for you in there.

- Oh, my goodness!

- I walked into the
bedroom and I said,

"Izzy, this is so beautiful.'

it looked like Laurel
had a professional

come in and decorate.

And I was, like,
really proud of Laurel

'cause she had
done such a great job.

- Thanks so much for taking her.
- Oh, you're welcome.

Good job in there.
That's beautiful.

- I had my mother-in-law's
approval too.

You know, she was delighted.

I almost fell on the floor.

Isabella, what did you do?

- What happened here, Isabella?

- I'd worked so hard.

I was so angry.

"Mommy, please!
Mommy, I didn't do this."

I saw my loved
ones being afraid.

And I was in so much denial.

I tried to make them
think it wasn't real.

And... it was real.

- When I was lying in my bed,

I was thinking that
something was watching me.

Or what was in the room?

What was I going to wake up to?

What was gonna happen next?

[Door creaking]

It literally starts
to drive you crazy.

It literally starts to
make you lose your mind.

It was all coming to a head.

- I could see
something was wrong.

I was giving her a
bath, and she said,

"Nana, can I tell
you something?"

- Emily told me to
go out the window.

- She told me it's okay to
come out the window and play.

- She said she would catch me.

- And I said, "it's not
okay to go out the window.

You could get hurt."

I said, "if you go
out that window,

[voice breaks]
You're gonna die."

I knew...

I knew then it was
a serious problem.

Emily was going to take away
somebody that I truly loved

and needed in my life.

- ♪ Everywhere that Mary went ♪

♪ the lamb was sure to go ♪

- We could potentially
lose this child

to an unknown.

- We had no options

but to make sure that
our daughter was safe.

I put like 12 screws in
each window in her room

to make sure that
they were secured shut.

To screw shut my daughter's
windows, that's insane,

because what if there's
a fire in the house

and you know we can't get out

because I've done
screwed the window shut

on the second floor?

- I wanted to open this
house up and bring light into it.

And now my windows
were being nailed shut

so my daughter didn't
go out the window.

- If my daughter died,
I'd have to die too.

Because I can't...
I couldn't do it.

I couldn't be
without my daughter.

- I was stuck in my home,

and I didn't know what
was going to happen.

I didn't know if this Emily

was gonna take my
daughter from me.

- Isabella never went
near the basement.

It was always a no-no.

She just wasn't
allowed down there.

[Door creaking]

The door was shut.

Slam!

I was instantly afraid.

- Oh, my god.

- I was instantly afraid.

- Oh, my god.

- I feared the worst:

Broken neck, busted head.

- Emily pulled me
down the steps.

- Now my daughter is telling me

this Emily person pulled
her down the steps.

As much as I was determined
not to let this defeat me,

I felt broken at that point.

But it was either stand up

or lay back and continue
to let this drive me insane.

You want to put
your fight face on,

but how do you battle
something you can't see?

At this point, I'm
completely at my wit's end.

I went on a crusade
to get someone there

to take care of my house,

whether it be blessed or
come in to get evidence.

We got in contact with a medium.

I allowed this medium
to come into my home

to do an investigation.

She would get into a long stare.

- ♪ Mary had a little lamb ♪

- She sat down,

and I heard...

Her sing...

Mary had a little lamb.

- ♪ Its fleece was
white as snow ♪

- It startled me at first.

It shocked the hell
out of me at first.

Because how would
she know to hum that

or how would she know

that my daughter
was singing that?

- It came to an immediate
stop, and her voice changed.

- [Demonic voice]
Get the bibles out.

- Both bibles were
taken out of the house.

- Get the bibles out.

Get the bibles out.

- Still, she insisted,

"get the bibles
out," in this voice.

- We only had two bibles.

- He said there's another Bible.

- And I'm like, "he?"

And she was like, "yeah, he."

And I said, "well,

my daughter is talking
to Emily, not 'he'."

- He's not gonna talk to us.

- There was a man in my home

that was preying on my daughter.

And I felt terrified. I felt...

It was a whole different
level of anxiety then.

It was a whole
different level of fear.

- He said there's another Bible.

- So we just ransacked
my daughter's room.

- He said there's another Bible.

- Sure enough,
there was a Bible.

- Isabella never
showed us the Bible.

And there was no way of this
woman knowing it was there.

- I believed in everything
she was saying after that.

- He hates you.

- I was terrified.
- He hates your daughter.

- I was frightened. I was angry.

I had so many emotions

because I didn't
know where to start.

It wasn't a solution.

I felt as if whatever my
daughter has been speaking to

was now going to
prove to me "I'm here.

"I'm real, and I'm
gonna show you.'

[Tinkly music plays]

- Isabella was in bed.

I was in the room by myself,

and I lit candles.

As I turned away,

it went at least
four to five feet.

And the red wax looked like
blood running down the wall,

and you know, just
the way it was hot

it cools as it slowly runs.

- Laurel?

- I was upstairs.

I was on the phone
with my mother.

She's saying to me,

"you got to get
out of that house.

You have to get
out of that house."

- I know.

I know.

And Isabella's just so upset.

- Out of the corner of
my eye, it was something.

- Laurel?

- It was so fast.

- I don't know...

How to handle this anymore.

Smash!

- Oh, my god.

Isabella's toy chest just
went across the room.

It felt like a ticking bomb.

We didn't know what
was going to happen next.

- And I felt terrified to
know that it was gonna...

It was getting violent.

[Voices over TV]

And I believe it tried

showing itself full
force that night.

- That night,

I fell off to sleep
with the TV on.

I knew instantly this
wasn't my husband.

I knew.

- [Grunting and gasping]

My husband protects
me and loves me.

He's never touched
me prior to this.

He was possessed by something.

It was an evil,

evil, dark spirit.

- It was very shocking.

And I just...

It just wasn't me.

I was scared.

I would never hurt my wife.

- [Grunting and gasping]

Brian.

Brian, what's going on?

- I was against the wall.

It was the look in his face.

Horrifying stare.

He lifted me

with one hand
wrapped into my throat.

I was gonna die that night.

And all I could think was,
"is Isabella gonna die too?"

- I was gonna die that night.

- I got away. And...

I'm getting down my steps,
which seemed like an eternity.

And I looked back; He
wasn't running after me.

"Laurel, what are you doing?

Laurel, are you okay?"

I saw, within an
instant, my husband.

He was back to himself.

It was him.

He was just as afraid as I was.

- I believe the spirit, you
know, got a hold of me

because they knew
that we knew the truth.

I believe it tried showing
itself full force that night

of what it could really do.

- I remember making it to my
dining room and screaming out,

"you've won. It's yours."

- [Sobbing]

- It didn't matter I
was losing my home.

It didn't matter, as
long as I was leaving

with my husband
and my daughter, safe.

We were done.

We'd been through enough.

- [Sobbing]

- The very next
day I called my aunt,

and she told me
that she would help

and that I should have called

and told her sooner
what was going on.

I was just throwing
stuff in the car.

I was scared that it was

going to attach
itself to something.

I just... i wanted
to start over.

I didn't want to take anything
out of that house with me.

It was a relief.

Like, I felt like
the whole world

was just lifted off
of my shoulders,

like I could breathe again.

- We lost a lot,

but we walked away a
happy, healthy family.

We're strong.

- If somebody told me
today that I had to move back

into that house 'cause
there was no other option,

I'd go live in the
woods somewhere.

I'd go pitch a tent,

'cause I'm not going
back in that house.

If somebody
offered me $1 million,

I wouldn't even go
back in that house.

- I worked for a
local newspaper.

I was responsible for
covering car wrecks,

fires, criminal activity.

As a reporter, I had never
witnessed anything paranormal.

I've never believed
in anything like that.

- I guess being a
typical teenager,

I was always doing
stuff to get on her nerves.

My mom asked me to run errands.

- Do you want to come
into town with me?

Moni, do you want to come?

- Sure.

- My mom had also asked moni,

our exchange
student from Pakistan.

Little did I know,

that was a trick
for going to church.

- Misty generally would
stay in the parking lot

and refuse to come in.

- She just slammed the door

and walked in church without me.

So I turned the
music all the way up,

rolled down the windows,

put my feet on the dashboard.

[Loud rock music]

♪ ♪

I waited in the car
for about an hour.

Once we got onto the road,

I remember like it just seemed
like everything changed.

- It was a straight road

all the way to our house.

You know, it's a desolate road.

- By this time, the
sun had started setting.

- I was getting kind of nervous

'cause I don't like
to drive at night.

I can't see that well at night.

But I drive like
a little granny.

I hold my hands up like
this and drive straight ahead,

and I don't look either side.

- We were going about
50, 55 miles an hour.

And when I turned
to look to my mom,

I saw a little movement
on the side of the road.

As we passed, it
looked like a child.

It was... just had that
overwhelming feeling

that something was not right.

- Mom, I just saw a little girl.

- You know, I knew that
there was someone out there,

and I had to get her to
believe me to turn around.

- You should turn around.

- She finally said, you know,

"you better not be lying to me."

- I wanted to pacify misty
and let her prove to me

that there was a little
girl on the side of the road.

- My mom has trouble
seeing at night to drive,

so she is very unhappy
that we are still out

with it being so dark.

- So where was she?

- We went about a half a mile.

- Oh, my gosh, mom, that's her.

- "There she is."

- Okay, there she is.

- It wasn't a little
girl, it was a teenager,

and she was sitting with
her knees up, rocking.

I guess we went
about 50 yards past her,

and then we turned around again.

- And we don't see her at all.

- She was right there.

You think she left?

Where would she have gone?

- Misty got frightened.

She said that there was no way

you know, that she
wouldn't be there.

- I don't know, mom. She
was right there, though.

- I'm really freaked
out right now.

We're going about
5 miles an hour,

and we don't see her.

- I just thought maybe she
walked through the woods

or walked somewhere in the area.

- I think we should
just keep going.

- I know.

I don't know where
she would have gone.

- So we just kept going.

We're picking up speed,

and my mom is actually
trying to get home pretty fast.

- We continued on probably
maybe two to three miles.

- I look up, and...

- Mom, that's her.

- I see her in the headlights.

[Sighs]

Um...

[Whispers] Oh, gosh.

- How could she get that far?

- It's not humanly possible

to make it that far up the road

and not be seen.

- Please, don't stop.

- I know it's her.

I see her.

And i...

Like, I get sick to my stomach.

- Please don't stop.
Please don't stop.

- Just go.

Just keep going.

And my mom says, "no,
she might need help."

So I just... I hit the floor...

- Mom, I'm asking you.

Please, mom. Please don't stop.

- And put myself
in a fetal position.

I knew something
was gonna happen;

I just didn't know what.

And I didn't want to see it.

- My whole focus was
to offer her a phone

to call somebody
to come pick her up.

- Misty, roll down the window.

- No.

- Misty, please. Roll
down the window.

- And my mom wants me
to roll down the window.

- Mom, no.

- And she just refused.

I felt misty was overreacting.

And I felt it was dark.

- No.

- My eyes were shut.

You know, I closed
my eyes really tight.

And I put my hands over my ears

and I was balled up.

And I could feel my mom.

And she's rolling
down the window.

And I can hear the squeaking
of the window going down.

And she only turns
the knob three times.

You know, and you
can hear it going down

and being... just turning,

and that dread.

It's pretty quiet except for

the squeaking of the window.

And I hear her say...

- Hey, are you okay?"

[All screaming]

- That dread.

- Hey, are you okay?

[All screaming]

- There was no face, whatsoever.

There... it was hollow.

It was completely...

Everything was gone.

[Tires squeal]

- She had no face!

She had no face!

- It was the most terrifying,

horrifying thing I've ever seen.

- We were home in ten minutes.

- We all practically
ran over each other

to get into the front door.

Once I dialed 911,

I felt embarrassed to say
that I saw a hollow face on 136,

so I just told them

that I think somebody
needs assistance.

- There was a cross,

and that's where an
accident took place.

That, actually,

a girl from my school
was killed on that road.

I feel that it's her...

Grieving for that
life that she lost.
