[eerie music]

Might as well give you this now.

[screams]

JEN: We had a very specific checklist of things

we were looking for in a home.

[scream]

EVA: Our phones were dead, and there was no electricity.

EVA: Our phones were dead, and there was no electricity. I didn't know what was going on.

I didn't know what was going on.

Adam.

JEN: I started to wonder if my dad really had seen something.

Someone's here in the house.

[scream]

EVA: I heard a woman in that room with me.

MAN: She's here.

We got to get out of here now.

We got to get out of here now. I was never going back to that house.

I was never going back to that house.

[audio logo]

[eerie music]

MAN: Are you ready?

Yes.

It won't hurt?

Nothing hurts if you offer yourself in her service.

Do you?

Do you, Mary?

I do.

[creaking]

[whispers]

MAN: She's here.

What's that for?

[eerie music]

JEN: I don't know, Adam.

Something about it just doesn't feel right to me.

That's because we've been living in a tiny condo

downtown.

Seriously, there's tons of space for Hunter to play,

Seriously, there's tons of space for Hunter to play, room for more kids.

room for more kids.

I can't even think about that right now.

I don't know.

JEN: We had a very specific checklist of things

we were looking for in a home.

And then we found one we could afford.

But I wasn't quite sure that I liked it.

ADAM: I mean, the bedroom downstairs

is perfect for your father.

It even has its own bathroom.

I mean, come on.

You think dad will like it?

Oh yeah.

I know he will.

JEN: But Adam talked me into it.

And we moved in right away, which was important because I

needed to look after my father.

He's doing it again.

JEN: My whole life, my dad had always

been this strong, tough guy--

never sick.

He never complained about anything.

[moaning]

Hey.

It's OK.

Let's get you to bed.

[moaning].

It's OK.

Then he got this condition.

It wasn't Parkinson's or Alzheimer's.

It wasn't Parkinson's or Alzheimer's. The doctors couldn't figure it out.

The doctors couldn't figure it out.

But he would go through long periods

where he couldn't even speak.

And he hadn't walked in almost a year.

I couldn't imagine him rotting in a home.

OK.

OK. So we had him move in with us.

So we had him move in with us.

You want the TV on?

You know what to do if you need anything from us?

Good.

[bell]

[bell] Goodnight, dad.

Goodnight, dad.

I love you.

[bell]

[moaning]

It's OK.

I wish I knew how to make this easier for you.

Try to get some sleep, OK?

It was heartbreaking seeing my dad like that.

But at least I felt like I could look after him and protect him

But at least I felt like I could look after him and protect him Hunter seems happy.

Hunter seems happy.

Yeah.

There's plenty of room for him to run around.

How are you?

I'm good.

Thank you for doing this--

you know, letting my dad move in.

Letting him?

He's family.

There was never even a question.

[music playing]

Where's Hunter?

JEN: Hunter and my dad were close

since my son was really young.

But since my dad's condition had gotten worse,

I started to worry about leaving them alone together.

What are you guys looking at?

The angel.

You don't see it?

JEN: They were staring at the same thing.

The room was totally empty.

I'm sure your father did think he saw something.

And Hunter just followed his lead.

But Hunter is the one that called it an angel.

Where did he get that?

I'm assuming your dad.

My dad hasn't spoken a full sentence in months.

My dad hasn't spoken a full sentence in months. [phone vibrating]

[phone vibrating]

Ugh, are you kidding me?

I have to go in.

I have to go in. Get a move on, Doc.

Get a move on, Doc.

Get a move on, Doc. ADAM: I hate this job.

ADAM: I hate this job.

Hopefully I'll see you by breakfast, OK?

Bye.

Bye.

[suspenseful music]

[bell]

[shivering]

JEN: Somehow my father had rolled himself

into the kitchen.

And Hunter had been asleep for hours.

So who was ringing the bell?

[bell]

The room was empty.

And the bell had stopped ringing.

I thought maybe it's the wind.

I thought maybe it's the wind. But the window was shut.

But the window was shut.

There had to be some kind of explanation.

By the time I was able to get dad to bed, I was exhausted.

I barely remember falling asleep.

[dramatic music]

Dad?

Hey.

She's here.

She's here.

Who's here?

DAD: It's her.

Yeah?

Yeah? How did you get up here?

How did you get up here?

Hey, it's OK.

Let's get you downstairs.

No.

No.

[whimpering]

JEN: He had crawled up the stairs

and had gotten tangled in the lamp cord.

I didn't understand why he was so scared.

At that point, I was really doubting

that we would be able to care for him much

that we would be able to care for him much longer without help.

longer without help.

Dad.

She's here.

What are you guys looking at?

The angel.

The angel. You don't see it?

You don't see it?

Dad?

Hey.

She's here.

She's here.

Dad?

She's here.

JEN: What my dad was saying didn't make any sense.

You need rest.

I do too.

I figured whatever he had was just getting worse.

I thought he was just imagining things.

If you need anything, I'm right upstairs, OK?

Night, Dad.

I love you.

So I left that night.

I left him alone.

[eerie music]

HUNTER: Where's my coloring book?

I don't know.

Where'd you leave it?

We buried him next to my mom.

The doctors said he died peacefully in his sleep.

But the expression on his face didn't seem peaceful at all.

I'm so sorry.

MAN: No!

What was that?

There was nothing that could explain what just happened,

nothing rational.

At that point, I started to wonder if my dad and my son

really had seen something.

Hey, hun.

Will you draw something for me?

Mhm.

JEN: Do you remember when you were with Grandpa

and you saw that angel?

Mhm.

Could you try to draw him for me?

Mhm.

Why did-- why did you draw it like this?

Is this what Grandpa said he saw?

Hunter, I need you to be very honest with me.

Did you see this?

HUNTER: Mhm.

HUNTER: Mhm. Or did grandpa describe it to you?

Or did grandpa describe it to you?

Mm mm.

Why are you mad at me?

I'm not mad, sweetie.

I'm not mad, sweetie. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

After everything that had happened in the house,

I decided to try and track down the last person who

lived there.

It wasn't hard to find the property records.

JOHN: Hello?

Hi.

Hi.

Are you John?

JOHN: I am.

JEN: I'm not sure what I was expecting to find.

JOHN: [inaudible].

No thank you.

You were going to tell us about the house.

It ruined me.

I lived there less than a year and left on a stretcher

about eight months ago, and I never once turned back.

Of course, I knew the bank would take it.

But I didn't know innocent people would end up there.

What happened?

I heard noises, screeching, and growling.

And then I started waking up to this--

this thing that was hovering over me.

It was so black I couldn't tell what it was.

You're-- you're talking about a ghost--

or an angel maybe.

I don't know what it was.

But it definitely was not an angel.

My last night there, that thing pushed me down the steps.

And it's a fluke I busted my hip instead of snapping my neck.

I shouldn't have abandoned that place.

I should have burnt it to the ground.

JEN: That night, I insisted that we send

Hunter to stay with my sister.

It's OK, honey.

It's OK, honey. It'll be OK.

It'll be OK.

JEN: Adam thought that there was a reasonable explanation

for everything, that we were reacting to the fact

for everything, that we were reacting to the fact that my dad had died there.

that my dad had died there.

He said, all you had to do was see how the last owner lived

to know that he was nuts.

Adam.

[gasp]

Adam.

Adam.

Adam.

[scream]

JOHN: I shouldn't have abandoned that place.

I should have burnt it to the ground.

Adam.

[gasp]

Adam.

Adam.

Adam.

Adam.

[scream]

What?

- He's here. - What?

We got to get out of here now.

Adam was mainly confused.

But I knew what I saw.

And I was never going back to that house.

We went over to my sister's, but there was no way either of us

We went over to my sister's, but there was no way either of us were falling asleep.

were falling asleep.

What should we do?

We can't stay, but can we sell it?

I mean, is that even the right thing to do?

We can't let this destroy us financially.

Adam, I can't believe this.

I used property sales records to find

the names of the people who had owned the house in the past.

And news articles came up about a man

who had owned the house in the 1980s and what he had done.

Are you ready?

Yes.

It won't hurt?

JEN: He was a pastor at one of the churches in town.

Nothing hurts if you offer yourself in her service.

Nothing hurts if you offer yourself in her service. JEN: For some reason, he left the faith

JEN: For some reason, he left the faith

and started a satanic cult. One of his followers

was a parishioner, a married woman that he had been having

an affair with.

One night, they were performing a ritual at our house.

She's here.

WOMAN: What's that for?

WOMAN: What's that for? MAN: The pledge has been made.

MAN: The pledge has been made.

JEN: He killed her and then himself.

His followers said it was a sacrifice to the dark angel.

EVA: Jeremy and I had been together for five years.

EVA: Jeremy and I had been together for five years. But he wouldn't even talk seriously

But he wouldn't even talk seriously

But he wouldn't even talk seriously about getting engaged.

about getting engaged.

I guess that's what I deserve for dating

a professional skateboarder.

We usually went to New York for Christmas.

But that year he had a competition a few days later.

So we just rented a cabin a couple of miles away.

The email said that it would be the third reflector

on the left.

I don't see any reflectors.

We should have left earlier.

I'm not blaming you.

I know you had to work.

Jeremy, look out.

Should we go?

I don't know.

Looked like he was flagging us down.

Looked like he was flagging us down. Maybe he needs help.

Maybe he needs help.

Maybe he needs help. This is creepy.

This is creepy.

This is creepy. Babe, don't worry.

Babe, don't worry.

Babe, don't worry. We'll roll down the window.

We'll roll down the window.

Where did he go?

Oh, God.

Don't.

It's OK.

Hey, man.

Sorry about that.

I didn't see you there.

You all right?

You were probably looking for reflectors.

The owner, he's always telling people that.

You can't see them from the road.

You're the renters for cabin five, right?

I'm a handyman.

Waiting here to make sure you don't miss the turn.

Oh, man, we've been driving around for hours.

How long you been out here?

How long you been out here? Follow me.

Follow me.

I'll let you in.

This guy was really creepy.

But he did take us to the cabin so we could finally

relax and start our vacation.

Pictures didn't shown upstairs.

I am starving.

I'm going to go set up some snacks.

OK.

Well, upstairs sucks.

Mm.

Door's locked.

Can't even get in the room.

Here.

Cheers.

All right, that's the last one.

Turn it on.

Oh, who cares about the tree?

It's snowing.

Do you know how great it's going to be tomorrow?

Hey, what time do you want to get on the slopes tomorrow?

[scratch]

What was that?

A moose?

A moose? [chuckle].

[chuckle].

Yeah, a moose ran by the window and scratched it

Yeah, a moose ran by the window and scratched it with his antlers.

with his antlers.

That's what mooses do.

That's definitely what mooses do.

It's moose, not mooses, smart ass.

No, let's wait until tomorrow.

It's family tradition that you open one present

the night of Christmas Eve.

Bet it's a book.

Way to ruin it.

Instead, we just went to bed.

[creaking]

(WHISPERS) Jeremy.

Huh?

Shh.

Just listen.

[footsteps]

Santa?

I don't think we need to worry about a raccoon on the roof,

OK?

EVA: It didn't sound like a raccoon.

But what did I know?

I grew up in the city.

Jeremy was the one that was from the sticks.

Hey.

Hey. Hey, it's freezing.

Hey, it's freezing.

Hey, it's freezing. Can you check the heat?

Can you check the heat?

Time is it?

Phone's dead.

I had it plugged in all night.

It's almost 8:30.

Come on.

Power's out, which means the heat's out,

since it's electric.

So damn dark in here.

That's snow.

It's all the way to the top.

We're not getting out.

Check the radio.

I'm going to check the bedroom.

Oh!

Jer?

What is it?

He told me later that he thought that he saw a face pressed

against the window.

But he didn't want to scare me because he

knew that we wouldn't be getting out of there any time soon.

We're snowed in.

All right, that's the last one.

Turn it on.

Ah, who cares about the tree?

It's snowing.

What time are you setting the alarm for tomorrow?

Eva.

EVA: Did you say something?

It's all the way to the top.

We're not getting out.

Check the radio.

I'm going to-- I'm going to check the bedroom.

[scream]

Jer?

What is it?

We're snowed in.

[eerie music]

EVA: Our phones were dead.

EVA: Our phones were dead. And there was no electricity.

And there was no electricity.

But we decided to make the best of it.

A book!

I was right.

It wouldn't kill you to read a book, would it?

I heard about this guy that read "Silence of the Lambs"

and--

OK.

Well, you should try it instead of playing video games

at night.

Why you got to pick at me?

I'm not-- I'm not picking at you.

I'm just saying.

There.

Wait, wait.

Wait, wait. Let's-- let's do that one later.

Let's-- let's do that one later.

EVA: Really?

Why?

Isn't it a special one?

Isn't it a special one? I just think that if we could--

I just think that if we could--

[creak]

What was that?

[creak]

[screaming]

Check the bedroom window.

Maybe there's a shovel or something.

We can dig ourselves out.

Snow still reaches the top.

WOMAN (WHISPERING): We're next.

We're gonna die.

We're gonna die. EVA: No, no.

EVA: No, no.

No!

Eva?

Eva.

Oh, God.

Eva.

What happened?

There's-- there's someone here with us.

What do you mean?

Someone's here in the house--

a woman.

I saw her too.

What?

Last night.

I thought I was drunk.

So I didn't say anything.

What?

No.

Oh my God.

It's OK.

It's OK.

The snow is going to melt by tomorrow.

EVA: I definitely heard a woman in that room with me.

And there were bloody ropes tied to the bed frame.

I didn't know what was going on, if any of it was real or not.

But I wasn't spending another second in that room.

Might as well give you this now.

[creaking]

[scream]

[audio logo]

It's snow.

What was that?

EVA: When we looked back, she was gone.

And the chair was still smashed.

There's no denying that someone or something was

in that cabin with us.

Somehow we both managed to fall asleep for a few hours.

Jeremy, wake up.

The snow is melting.

Come with me.

Come with me. EVA: The snow was melting.

EVA: The snow was melting.

But it was still too high for us to push the door open.

But then Jeremy remembered the second story door

that was locked.

Oh my God.

Oh my God. Oh my God.

Oh my God.

There was a rope ladder hanging from the window in that room,

which meant that someone had used it to climb in

from the outside.

Do you think last night when we heard footsteps--

Yeah.

Oh my God.

Someone was in here?

Come on.

Let's go.

We used the rope to get down.

And our car was still buried in the snow.

So we walked to a nearby cabin and used the phone.

The police found the photos and plenty of other evidence.

You're the renters for cabin five, right?

EVA: The caretaker that we met on the side of the road

had killed the woman that rented the cabin right before us.

They caught him right away.

And he admitted that he had used the rope water

to come into the cabin the night that we were there.

[footsteps]

Santa?

He admitted he planned to kill both of us that night.

But he didn't go through with it for some reason, some reason he

couldn't explain.
