♪ ♪

- It was kind of our last
year of freedom and fun

before the rest
of our lives began.

- Hey, did you come
up to my room last night?

- Something in my room
completely changed.

- It gave me this
creepy feeling,

like I was being watched.

- I was becoming so
paranoid, it was overwhelming.

- And I kept saying,

"stop watching
the horror movies."

- I had the sense that...

- Will you stay with me tonight?

- I wasn't alone.

- [Screams]

[Dramatic music]

♪ ♪

- Lindsey!

- It wasn't my roommates.

It wasn't me.

There was something
in the house.

- [Growls]
- [Screams]

It was just a dream.

It was fall of 2004,

and I was heading into
my final year of art school.

I'm an artist.

I love color,
obviously... My hair.

I was really looking
forward to still having

some parties and fun times,

not having to worry
about life stuff.

- Hey.
- [Gasps]

- Hey, honey.
- So easy.

- Lindsey and I knew
each other in high school.

- How has your day been?

- Not bad. You?

- Lindsey was
the life of the party.

She influenced us,
you know, with that,

and helped me develop who I was,

you know, just by
being her friend.

And she was just a blast.

- Me too.

- Reba, you know, I loved her.

No matter what
time of day it was,

if you had a problem
and you needed to talk,

you know she would
sit down with you.

- Where's Amber?
- We met Amber in the dorm.

We just became best
friends, all three of us.

- Ah.

- The three of us
got along great.

- It's okay. We haven't
been waiting long.

- We enjoyed spending
a lot of time together.

We always had fun.

- Don't ask.
- Wasn't gonna.

- From the moment we met
Amber, we just loved her.

You know, she was just such
a fun person to be around.

We are three completely
different people,

but we were kind of like
the three musketeers.

- Okay, amigos.

Today we nail this, okay?

Both: All right.

- I like this one.

- It was very difficult to
find a three-bedroom place.

- That's a no.
- We really went back and forth.

We were, you know,
coming up with ideas,

and none of them seemed to work.

- I'm not doing that one.

- We just kind of
pounded the pavement,

and it was starting
to look pretty bleak,

like, "okay, maybe we're
not gonna have this work out."

- Oh, hi.
- Hi.

- Welcome.

- I'm Lindsey.
- Nice to meet you.

- I'm Rebecca.

- Finally we ended up at
the realty office in Kent.

- You as well.
Have a seat, ladies.

- First thing she said was...

- These have all
been rented already.

- My heart just sunk.

And I thought, "are
you kidding me?"

- You're just a little too late.

- How can there not
be three bedrooms?

This seems crazy.

- Um...

Actually, I may have one.

Hang on one second.

- She opened a drawer,
and she pulled a folder.

- Okay.
- And she flipped it open.

And the first thing
she said was,

"this could work."

- Okay, it is a
three-bedroom house.

- The house itself
was beautiful.

- It looks great.

- Any three girls in a
college town, I mean,

that's the kind of
house you want.

- I like it.

- It looked perfect on paper.

You know, it had
everything that we wanted,

and we really couldn't
understand why

she wouldn't offer
this up from the get-go.

- Actually, I'm not sure
it's a perfect match for you.

- Why was she being so negative?

Why didn't she think
this would work out?

- What's wrong?

- And she said, you know,

they had had issues
with tenants in the past.

- Well, we're good people.

- Yeah.

- Okay. Okay, I'll
talk to the landlord.

- Thank you.

- Is this your bag?

- Yeah, you can just
put it on the ground.

- So we got the keys.

We were extremely
excited to move in.

We really thought
we got a great deal.

- We were excited that we
were able to find a place together.

It just seemed like
the perfect house.

- Hey.
- Hey.

- How you liking it?
- Oh, it's great.

- Right?
[Chuckles]

- My boyfriend, Adam, was
a big help in moving us in.

- We'd been dating for a year.

We just got along, and
it was a very easy thing.

She made me laugh,
and she was always joking.

- Don't I deserve a kiss for
helping you move in, yeah?

- Later.

- I don't know how
she managed it,

but somehow Lindsey got
the best room in this house.

- After unloading
stuff in my bedroom

and I shut my bedroom
door, I noticed something odd.

There were two deadbolts...

- Adam.
- On my bedroom door.

- Come check this out.

- Not just a little lock...

Two large, large deadbolt locks,

one, two.

- Two deadbolts on
the back of the door,

and you would think
maybe... It's a college place.

You live with some
shady roommates,

and they might be taking stuff,

so you want to
have that privacy.

- In this case, the lock
wasn't on the other side.

It was on the inside.

And it was very odd
to me, as if, you know,

somebody was trying
to keep themselves

locked in or
something locked out.

[Clock ticking]

It had been a long day.

You know, we were
pretty exhausted.

And we went to bed.

[Clattering noise]

[Clicking]

All of the sudden, the
room was really cold.

You could feel a breeze
blowing past your face.

[Clicking]

- What's up?
[Clicking stops]

- The fan turned on.
- Oh.

- I rubbed my eyes,

clicked off the light,

and we went back to sleep.

[Fan whirring]

- Click, click, click, click.

You could hear the
fan blades again.

- As soon as she
flipped the switch...

It stopped.

This is ridiculous, right?

So I got out of bed.

- He just stopped
dead in his tracks.

He was standing there
looking towards the floor.

- The plug is laying
right there on the floor.

- It's not plugged in,

and yet we heard
it and we felt it.

[Door rattling]

- We heard the door.

- The door was literally moving,

shaking.

[Door rattling]

I had called out...

- Rebecca?

[Door rattling]

Amber.

- Hello?

[Door rattling]

- And it was still moving.

- Hello?

[Door rattling]

- Like somebody
trying to come in.

[Door rattling]

[Rattling intensifies]

- Rebecca?

[Door rattling loudly]

Amber?

[Door rattling loudly]

- Rebecca?

[Door rattling loudly]

Amber?

[Door rattling loudly]

- As soon as I go
to put my hand...

On the door...

[Rattling continues]

[Rattling stops]

It stopped.

- Just stopped moving.

Adam opened the door.

- Hello?

Hello?

- Nothing.

There's nobody there.

There was no way that somebody
could come up those stairs

or go down them
without you hearing them.

And I couldn't understand that.

You know what? This
was just something odd.

Don't worry about it.

- We were exhausted.
We were tired.

And we didn't give it any
more thought than that.

- I was sitting at my desk,
needed to write a paper.

It was due in the next few days.

I took my studies
very seriously,

and I worked really hard.

[Pounding noise]

All of a sudden, I heard
this loud pounding sound,

and it was like, "thump,
thump, thump, thump."

I really had no
clue what it was.

[Pounding noises]

It sounded like somebody
going up and down the stairs.

- Guys, come on.

- I just thought, "oh,
it's Adam and Lindsey."

[Pounding noises]

It was really close.

- Adam, Lindsey, seriously.

- Nobody was there.

- Lindsey, is that you?

- I felt like they were
playing a joke on me.

- Adam?

- I just stood there
totally stunned, like,

"okay, what am I missing here?

Did somebody run off?"

I thought it had to be Lindsey
and Adam or one of two of them,

because they were the only ones
that would go up that staircase.

- I was so tired.

I had finally gotten to sleep.

[Footsteps]

[Voices whispering]

It seemed as quickly as
I had fallen back asleep,

I realize I'm dreaming.

I couldn't move my arms,

couldn't move my legs.

I was pinned.

I want to scream.

I want to scream at the
top of my lungs, "help me."

But I can't.

In the shadows, I
can see a figure.

- [Gasps]

[Panting]

- She was shaking.
- It's okay.

- She was beside herself.

- Everything's okay.

- I realize it had
only been a dream,

but my heart was still pounding.

I was covered in sweat.

My hair was wet.

- I was just trying to kind
of bring her back down.

- That feeling that something
was in the room in my dream

was actually still with
me in my bedroom.

- That was so scary.

- And I was terrified
to look around.

It felt real.

- One afternoon, I
was taking a nap.

Turned over and
was facing the wall.

You know how you can
tell when somebody's there?

I slowly opened my eyes.

There was a
giant black spider...

- [Gasping]

- Right next to my bed.

- [Screams]

I was totally terrified.

It gave me this creepy feeling,

like I was being watched,

like something was
watching me through it.

It had a silver
diamond on the back.

It just went

straight down my wall

faster than anything
I've ever seen move.

So I jumped out of bed.

I tore the sheets off.

I was tearing my room apart.

I combed through my whole room.

I had to get rid of it.

And I couldn't find it.

I was so spooked by
this that I, you know...

I had to figure out
what this thing was.

You know, hey, you know,

I should be able to
find this in a book.

So I went to the library,

got a bunch of spider books out,

looked through all the pictures.

And I couldn't find
anything that looked like that,

not in Ohio, not
in any other state,

anything that was the
right size or the right color.

I went back to the house.

Nobody, that I knew of, was up.

I heard it again.

[Pounding noise]
Thump, thump, thump.

And then I heard
a cackling laugh.

[Faint laughter]

I thought for sure it was
Lindsey playing a joke on me.

[Door closes]

I was really upset
because, you know,

she was my oldest friend,

and now all the sudden
she's behaving like this.

- Reba came out of
her room and just said...

- So what was going
on last night, guys?

- Pardon?

- "You know, you guys
are just so disrespectful."

- The noise all night from
1:00 A.M. to 4:00 A.M.

And the night before.

- Hey.

- You didn't hear anything?

- She starts just
kind of yelling.

- I have a big test today,

and I haven't slept
in two nights now.

- Rebecca, I have no idea...

- What you're talking about.

- Running up and
down the stairs all night.

- Rebecca, I wasn't
even here last night.

- Lindsey looked
genuinely puzzled.

Her face kind of said it all.

But still, you know, in
the back of my mind,

I kind of built it up, you
know, as it's got to be them.

- So I'm the only
one that heard this?

- They're pretty much all
staring at me at this point,

looking at me
like I'm totally nuts.

- Yeah, right.

- It was very out of
character for reba

to kind of be that
confrontational.

- Somebody has
been working too hard.

- I really felt like I was
on my own at that point.

I shut myself off, you know,
didn't really talk to anybody,

didn't trust them.

And for them to not
take me seriously...

At least that's what I felt
when I told them these things...

It really hurt my
feelings quite a bit.

All of the sudden, we
move into this place,

and it's like, poof, it's just
like everything's different.

- [Laughs]

- Like, oh, they
must be, you know,

trying to play a trick
or whatever on me.

Why would I think that of her?

Something was driving
me to think that way.

And I really... i really think

that it was something
in the house.

- Rebecca started to
become very distant.

She didn't socialize anymore.

She wasn't part of the group.

She was not normal reba.

- It come to a point we
weren't even speaking anymore.

- These are a group of girls
who were extremely close,

and now they're
extremely distant.

- Becca was the
first to move out.

It was sad.

The house that was supposed
to bring us so much joy

and bring us together and
be the best year of our college

was tearing us apart.

- I was just so tired.

I was so exhausted.

The minute I put my
head on the pillow,

I fell asleep.

[TV static hissing loudly]

- I woke up.

[Static continues]

My television had turned on

full volume to just static.

The static was just shaking,

rattling my room.

It was so loud.

[Static hissing loudly]

And I walked back to bed.

Suddenly...

This horrific sound.

[TV screeching loudly]

I was being sucked
into the darkness,

back into the nightmare.

Sometimes you're in a dream
and you can talk yourself out.

There was no way out.

In the shadows,

it was a woman.

She's coming towards me.

I did not want to see her face.

Her hair was covering me.

- [Muffled scream]

[Screams]

- It was visceral.

It was tactile.

I could feel the tension,
and I could feel the fear.

- [Panting]

- And I was so terrified

that what had just
happened in a dream

was about to
happen to me for real.

[Wood creaks]

- Lindsey.

- She was so scared.

- It happened again.

- And she needed
someone to confide in.

Adam wasn't there.

And I still couldn't figure
out why she was so scared.

- I feel like I'm losing
my mind, Amber.

Every time I go
to sleep, I see her.

- I just kept telling her...

- You've got to calm down.

Lindsey, I'm sure it's
just your imagination.

- "Lindsey, there's really...
There's really nothing going on.

You know, you have
to stop scaring yourself."

- It was just a dream.

- I kept trying to reassure her,
you know, "this isn't happening.

"I'm not seeing this.

"There's no logical
reason for any of this stuff

to be bothering you."

- Can you stay with me tonight?

[People cheering on television]

- One night, the
girls are all at class.

I kind of had the
place to myself.

I was looking forward
to it, just having a night,

having control of
the TV for once.

[Ominous music
playing on television]

For some reason, I just...
I didn't feel comfortable.

- Lana. Lana.

- I could feel the... kind of
the air pressure around me

kind of building and
building and building.

- Submit yourselves,
therefore, to god.

- I'm a college guy, right?

I'm a young dude,
supposed to be masculine.

I was becoming,
like, so paranoid.

It was overwhelming.

Why am I feeling like this?

- As a child of god, get
thee behind me, Satan.

- [Screams]

- I got up.

- Dad?

Dad?

[Sobbing] Dad?

Dad?

- All Lindsey's paintings
in the living room

were just staring at me.

I just snapped.

I had this feeling
of being watched.

I didn't want to look up.

It was almost like
a chant in the car.

"Do not look up at that window.

Do not look up at that window."

This was real.

This woman was real.

I called Lindsey.
- Hello?

- Lindsey, Lindsey. I saw her.

I saw the woman, the
woman in your nightmare.

- As if that woman stepped
right out of Lindsey's dreams

and right in front of me.

- Maybe I'm not going crazy.

- She was standing
at your window,

just like you said she was.

- I had seen her in my dreams,

and now he had
seen her in the flesh.

- Lindsey, I'm scared.

- We both knew
at that very moment

that this was real.

I started worrying
about Lindsey's safety.

I come from a pretty
religious family.

My father was a
subdeacon in our church.

- Adam said, "I think that
he's the one to talk to."

- Lindsey, how nice to see you.

- I don't know where to start.

Dreams keep
recurring over and over.

- He didn't seem
to be judging me.

- I'm scared to sleep.

- He believed me.

- I think I may have
something that will help you.

- 100%.

"I'm going to give
you a lot of holy water."

- This holy water will
help to purify your house.

- He gave us this small icon.

And he said...

- This holy icon

will help to protect
you against evil.

- "This will prevent anything

from ever coming in
your bedroom again."

- The icon he was giving us
had to do with a patron Saint

who was known for kind
of warding off evil spirits.

- Our father who art in
heaven, hallowed be thy name.

- Thy kingdom come.

- I thought I'm gonna
go from the bottom

to the top of the house.

Both: It will be done on
earth as it is in heaven.

Give us this day
our daily bread,

and forgive us our trespasses

as we forgive those
who trespass against us.

- Hey.

- At this point, I
thought they were nuts.

- You guys have
got to get a grip.

- Quit watching so many movies.

- It's just a house.

- They had such fear and
such, you know, anxiety.

It was starting to
get overwhelming.

- There's something
not right here, Amber.

- Yeah, you guys
are not right here.

- I thought, "is everyone
losing their mind?"

Both: Our father
who art in heaven,

hallowed be thy name.

- Do you think that's enough?

- I think so.

- I took the icon, and I
hung it just beside my door.

Something in my room
completely changed.

The air in that
room was different.

It was the first time I
felt safe in my own room.

- You all right?

- Yeah.

- For whatever
reason, it felt different.

It felt lighter.

It felt like a weight
had kind of been lifted.

I was upstairs sleeping.

Lindsey was downstairs.

Thud!

I remember just
hearing this bang...

And then hearing, like...

Thud!

Two other bangs.

[Clattering]

Boom, boom, boom.

[Clattering]

Lindsey's paintings
had fallen on the floor,

every single
painting except one.

[Clattering] [Distant scream]

- Lindsey!

[Clattering] [Distant scream]

- Lindsey!

Are you okay?

- The paintings that
I had been hanging

in every single room...

- What happened?

- Had fallen off the wall.

- Whatever was in the house

was angry, was violent.

It did not want us there.

- You see now?

It can move things.

- Adam kept telling
me, "do you see now?

It's strong. It's showing
us what it can do."

And I kept saying, "Adam,
you're talking crazy."

- Maybe the nails
just weren't secure.

- Come on, are you serious?

All the paintings fell down
upstairs and down here.

Look.

Amber was clearly
still in denial,

even after she saw
every single painting.

Like, what coincidence is that?

- It doesn't necessarily
mean what you think it means.

- You have got to be kidding me

that you do not believe
that this is the house.

- I thought it
was a little weird,

but there was
nothing to explain it.

One night, I came
home from class.

I had a very small
window of time

to get from class to work.

I rushed home, got changed,

got something to eat.

[Creaking noise]

[Rustling noise]

I yelled out...
- Lindsey?

- To see if Lindsey or
Adam was in the house.

- Adam?

- No one was in the house.

[Clicking noise]

So I get into the car.

I start the car, and something
draws my attention to the house,

something telling me to look up.

[Ominous music crescendos]

- Oh, my god.

- I could very clearly see

a woman standing in the window.

I'm staring at her,

her staring directly back at me.

Everything everybody
has been telling me

was true.

- Lindsey?
- This woman was real.

- Okay.

I believe you.

- Everything that
you've been telling me,

everything that you've
been trying to explain to me.

- I saw her.
- She said, "I saw her."

- I'm so sorry I
didn't believe you.

- It was a bittersweet moment,
because she was scared.

But it was good for me,
because someone else saw her,

proving that I
hadn't lost my mind.

- It united all of us.

We are now on the same team.

There's no more Amber
thinking that we're crazy.

- Everybody take one.

- I had the idea that
we've all seen this figure,

so why don't we all sit down,

and why don't we
draw what we saw?

Let's put pen to paper.

- Ready?

- Flip your papers over,
and let's see what we got.

- One...

Two...

Three.

- All of us have the same
figure on the piece of paper.

- The dark hair.

The gnarly, nasty teeth.

- At that point, I
couldn't believe

that we were all
experiencing the same thing.

- For Amber, you know, I think
it was the biggest revelation,

because she went from
being a complete skeptic

to somebody who
absolutely believed.

- If anyone was gonna have
any information about the house,

it was gonna be
the historical society.

- Your property is one of
the oldest houses in Kent,

if not the oldest.

- And I thought, "wow,
he knows our house."

And he said...

- Over 90 years ago,

a doctor lived in that
house with his wife.

Their marriage broke down,

she became unfaithful,

and he lost his mind.

- When he said that,

my heart began to
beat so hard in my chest.

- Now, I have some very
disturbing things to tell you.

He attacked her,

stabbed her,

mutilated her face,

and then he killed her.

- [Screams]

- All the pieces fit.

- That's the woman.

- Everything made sense to me.

- She's the one
we've been seeing.

- This woman was real.

This is the woman
that's been haunting us.

- I'm sorry to have
had to tell you this.

- This woman had
been killed in our house,

had been murdered
in our house...

- You okay?

- Suffered who knows
what kind of brutalities.

I looked at Amber, and I said,

"Amber, I think she wanted
us to suffer like she suffered.

I think she wanted me
to feel the fear she felt."

[Thunder booming]

And this was the woman
that we had all been seeing.

There was no doubt
in my mind, not at all.

This was who Amber had
seen, who Adam had seen,

and who I had been
dreaming about.

[Water splashing]

[Thunder booming]

I flicked off the light.

[Lightning crackles]
- [Screams]

[Lightning crackles]
- [Screams]

- I lost all control.

I ran.

I turned the
corner to my stairs.

- [Screams]

- I literally feel

two hands grab my ankles

and pull me down so hard.

- Adam!

- Lindsey!

- Adam!

- I am just completely frozen.

She starts to growl.

- [Growls]

- Like, animalistic,
from-your-gut roar.

- [Roars]

- And I kicked.

- [Roars]

- I slam it shut.

- [Gasping]

- [Panting]

- I began to hear
violent scratching.

The door moved. The
door handle was turning.

- Oh, my god.

Oh, no. [Crying]

[Door rattling]

[Panting]

- It got quieter and
quieter and quieter.

- [Growls]

[Cackling]

- And it all tore us apart.

It took a toll on us.

It was several years
before any of us were able

to truly talk about

what happened to
all of us in that house.

- The best thing to do
was to just leave the house.

They had been friends
since they were teenagers,

and this situation

just completely
shredded all of that.

- Ready?

- Yeah.

- What we went
through in that house,

you know, it changed us forever.

It altered every
single one of us.

This woman had caused
some pretty long-term damage.
