[TV chatter]

[light flickers]

[screams]

[narrator] I'm Eli Roth.

I've spent my life telling horror stories.

But imagine if those stories were real,

and suddenly you found yourself stalked

and tormented by an evil spirit

and no one believes you.

These are the actual accounts of terror

as told by the victims

who came face to face with their demons

and survived.

[ominous music playing]

Might wanna be a little wary

on taking anything home with you.

I would honestly be surprised

if something were to happen while you were here.

A lot of activity seems to happen later

at night or early in the morning.

Stuff happens.

But I do honestly hope something does happen

so I know I'm still not crazy.

When I was younger, I grew up mostly in the same city.

Everybody knows everybody.

You go to school with the same people.

You know their parents. Their parents know each other.

-Big game tonight. -Mmm-hmm.

-Coming over to get ready? -Wanna come to my place?

You never come to my place. It's been what,

six months since I moved here?

Okay. 6:00 works for me.

Are we dressing up?

-Just making sure. -[laughter]

I'm gonna babysit for the Gradys tonight.

Don't let those two brats give you any trouble.

-[sighs] -Text when you're on your way?

Okay.

-[doorbells rings] -[knocks on door]

[Mrs. Jackson] Hi. You must be Shiann.

Nice to meet you, Mrs. Jackson.

She's upstairs.

Thanks.

-Did you miss me? -Hey, girl. Careful.

[chuckles] Oh.

Is there anyone else up here?

I thought I saw someone in the hallway.

Maybe it was a ghost.

[chuckling] But, for real,

didn't I ever tell you about the old lady

who died in this house?

You did not.

Well, there was.

She lived here alone. No family, nothing.

She fell down the stairs and broke her neck.

They say they didn't find her body for weeks.

Who's they?

The house was full of stuff when we moved in.

And it felt weird. Like desperate, sad.

One time, I saw this really dark shadow

-and it was just like... -[Mrs. Jackson] Carolyn,

stop telling those stupid stories.

And I need you to help me downstairs.

Mom hates it when I talk about it,

but I think she's just superstitious.

But I swear.

God, just imagine... being that alone.

[sighs]

So alone, no one even knows you died...

or even cares.

No wonder she bugs me.

What do you mean?

[Mrs. Jackson] Carolyn, come on.

[ominous music playing]

Hello?

Are you lonely?

You can come sit with me.

I'll be your friend.

[floor creaks]

[sighs]

-Hey. -[gasps]

-You okay? -Mmm-hmm.

-Ready to go? -Yeah.

-Let me just grab my bag. -Okay.

-What's wrong? -Nothing. Let's... let's go.

[scoffs]

You saw it. Shiann,

I know you saw her.

What did she do to you?

[Mrs. Jackson] Enough about that.

There's no one in this house.

Besides, she was probably some old shrew

who's not worth the thought.

So stop it.

Let's go.

[screams]

-Oh, God. -[Shiann] Are you okay?

Oh, God.

Oh, God.

She ended up breaking her leg.

I could feel the...

Like a bad energy in the air just shifting around us.

I knew something was wrong.

As soon as I said,

"You can come sit down with me,"

the energy just seemed to have gone a little thicker.

The air, it was kind of hard to breathe.

[upbeat music playing]

[singer] ♪ Hey, hey, hey, hey ♪

♪ Oh ♪

-[knocks on door] -[woman] Shiann?

[Shiann] What?

[woman] Can you please turn the music down?

Okay. Okay.

[phone vibrates]

-[knocks on door] -Just a second.

[knocks on door]

What?

Mom?

[screams]

[ominous music playing]

It felt like somebody was just watching me

the whole time from the hallway or something,

and it was just very uneasy and unsettling.

The feeling that I got when I've seen it

was just complete fear.

I was terrified. I didn't know what to do.

Maybe it's waiting to do something bad to me.

It felt like something horrible was gonna happen.

Okay. So I'll text you later then?

-Okay. -Okay.

Hey.

How's your mom?

Fine... things considered.

I saw...

I saw something weird on Friday.

Shush.

Mom's really hurt.

I don't wanna talk about it, okay?

Okay.

Okay. Well, I gotta go.

Promised my sister I'd watch Cindy.

-Okay. All right. Bye. -See you.

-Almost ready. -[Cindy] Okay.

-Thank you. -[chuckles]

[TV static]

[ominous music playing]

I would feel a really bad, negative energy.

And it didn't feel like anything

I've ever been used to.

And then Mr. Frog

saw through the clearing the beautiful pond.

And Frog and Toad went to the pond

and found a big picnic.

-[Cindy] I loved it. -[Shiann chuckles]

I knew you would.

Good night, hon.

Tomorrow, we'll go for ice cream.

[gasps]

[ominous music playing]

[footsteps]

[sighs]

[woman] Shiann.

[ominous music playing]

[TV chatter]

[clatter]

[ominous music playing]

[TV chatter]

[screams]

Leave me alone!

[woman] Leave me alone.

[indistinct whispers]

It made me want to scream, cry, run.

You don't know what it wants.

You don't know if it wants to harm you.

You don't know if it wants to harm somebody in your family.

I believe the more that you talk about something,

the more it allows it to come in,

especially with talking about things that happened

in the building that it happened.

So I do believe that probably after today,

things will probably get more active.

I've always believed that there's a possibility

of something more than just us here,

but didn't know how wide that spectrum will go.

Has it done anything to you?

What are you talking about?

You know what I mean.

-It's gone. -What?

It's gone. It attacked my mom...

and left.

It's gone.

Listen, I think that...

I don't wanna talk about it, okay?

-Secrets? -[chuckles]

I would just try and talk to her,

see if anything had been happening at her house.

And when I asked,

she just shook her head and was like,

"Nothing's happened since she left."

[ominous music playing]

This was because I invited the ghost

to sit down and be my friend.

You can come sit with me.

So I was a little upset with myself

on what I had done and what I had said.

To take power away from an entity

is as simple as not giving them power.

So it's attached to me.

I decided that I had to do something

to fix what was going on.

I didn't know how but I wanted to figure out something.

It's hard to understand

and wrap your head around what's happening.

I don't even know how to talk to anyone about it.

I was very scared for the future.

Maybe like an unwanted friend,

I just have to stop paying attention.

All I could think is that I just...

I wanna get away from this. I want this energy to stop.

It could be a relief to be able to be normal.

[ominous music playing]

[Vanian] Shiann and I hit it off pretty quickly.

We went on a few dates and it was pretty serious

from the start.

This is my place.

It's late and I've got work tomorrow.

Yeah.

I'll walk you to the door.

[chuckles]

No one else is home tonight.

Do you wanna come inside for a bit?

Ha ha. Very funny, Shiann.

-[Shiann] That wasn't me. -[Vanian] Shiann, come on.

Let me in.

[knocks on door]

[woman] Let me in, Shiann.

[knocks on door]

[woman] Shiann.

Shiann, what's going on?

[woman] Shiann.

Vanian. Vanian, help.

Vanian, open up.

[screams]

[Vanian] Whoa. Wait.

Can we go to your place tonight?

Yeah. Yeah.

[car engine revs]

I told him that I am followed by something.

He believes that there are no ghosts.

[thuds]

[chuckling]

What are you guys doing here?

Girl, we're taking you out tonight.

Come on.

Where are we going?

It's a surprise. Let's go. Come on.

[woman laughs]

[evil laughter]

We're here.

Are you kidding me?

[woman] We thought it'd be fun.

You haven't been yourself.

You've been stressed. You need a night to relax.

It'll be fun.

Besides, it's not real.

[evil laughter]

[woman screaming]

I can't believe you took me here.

[screaming]

Whoa.

Did you guys feel that?

Guys?

Vanian?

Vanian?

[woman] Shiann.

[Shiann panting]

[woman] Shiann.

[screams]

-Hey. -[Shiann sobbing]

Hey. Hey. It's just a haunted house.

Look!

It's very scary realizing that whatever this is can do more.

[evil laughter]

[Shiann] It was very hard going through everything that was happening.

When I would try and tell my family,

they kind of look at me and I would feel like I was crazy.

Vanian doesn't even believe me.

[Vanian] At first, I was very skeptical

and I didn't believe a lot of the things

that she claimed were going on.

[ominous music playing]

[chuckles]

Good move.

You gotta get out of here.

Where do you wanna go?

That's not what I meant.

We both graduated.

We're both working.

I think it's time we make a move.

[dramatic music playing]

We had that kind of fresh feeling

that maybe this was our chance.

It's a chance to escape, and I just wanna leave

this thing behind.

When we got into our own house,

it felt like a dream.

It was a big step for us.

It was complete bliss.

I wasn't hearing anything, seeing anything.

It was very relaxing and peaceful.

It honestly was like heaven.

My niece is my absolutely favorite person in my family.

She's like my best friend and I watch her

as much as I possibly can.

Hey, Cindy.

Hmm, what you drawing?

Cookies.

Last treat then bed, okay?

But this time you have to sit in the kitchen

like a big girl.

[ominous music playing]

No.

Why?

But I like it here.

[screams]

[grunts]

She started screaming bloody murder

like we've never heard her scream before.

So we both booked in there to see what was going on

and she's staring into the closet screaming.

It's here. It's back.

She had a nightmare.

It followed me.

You're talking crazy, Shiann.

She's a kid.

There's nothing here.

[screaming]

Vanian!

[pants]

Oh, you're bleeding.

I saw it.

I'm scared.

-It's real. -Sit down.

I'll go get some bandages.

[ominous music playing]

I saw it.

I saw that.

[ominous music playing]

[Vanian] There's something here.

I've seen it and it's horrifying.

I didn't understand or believe in any of this,

and then all of a sudden it's a big part of my life.

[Shiann] I know it's still here.

It's using him and hurting him to get to me.

It's still following me.

It made me question the safety of the people

who enter our house.

We hear quite a few things that happen in the attic.

We've actually heard a table moving around up there

that we have recently found.

We didn't know it was up there right away.

And you can go up into the attic but I will...

I'm not willing to take you up there.

My boyfriend, Vanian,

will have to take you up there.

It felt like there was like a hot breath

breathing right on to the side of my face.

And I came down and told her that,

and that kind of just pushed her away

from ever wanting to come up here ever again.

But I was looking in that way and it felt like

someone's face was right here next to me,

just breathing hot air on to my face.

[ominous music playing]

I think that by putting us through these experiences,

it's telling us that we don't have control,

and the more we try to gain control,

the more we're gonna lose control.

As things progressed and got worse, it...

It's very unsettling to even be alone in the house.

[ominous music playing]

[clatter]

[woman] Shiann...

never leave me.

Let me in. I'm coming in.

I want in.

[screams] Leave! Just leave!

You are not welcome here!

Get out!

[pants]

Maybe that's all I need to do,

just tell it to leave.

And the new energy in this home

is a recipe for a disaster.

There's nothing beyond its control.

But I believe that it's not bigger than the both of us.

[ominous music playing]

Things were fine and quiet for a while

and I felt normal again...

until I decided to recolor my hair.

[indistinct chatter on TV]

[gasps] [screaming]

Shiann!

Open the door.

Hey. Hey. Hey.

It's okay. It's okay.

You're okay.

Shh.

From now on, I gotta take care of you, okay?

Nothing can hurt you when we're together.

[screaming]

[ominous music playing]

It's very stressful to know that every day

there's a possibility that something bad could happen,

and it's like stepping on hot coals

or, you know, walking on broken glass.

You don't wanna say the wrong thing or do the wrong thing.

[Shiann] I was posting about it on social media,

asking for advice and what to do.

[tense music playing]

[Vanian] "An entity attaches to a person, not a place,

and doesn't leave until it gets what it wants.

"Have you tried saging?"

What's saging?

A lot of people had actually commented,

telling me on stuff that I could do

that they believe works.

The only thing I was gonna be comfortable with

would be burning sage.

[ominous music playing]

[lighter flicks]

I'm hoping this might actually end up

helping whatever's in here move on.

While I'm doing this, I'm just gonna say out loud

I'd like any negative energy in this house to leave

or move on and no longer bother or harm us...

in the nicest way possible.

[Shiann] I have read that you can cleanse yourself

with the sage as well

and let the smoke go around your body.

You want me to sage you?

Stand like this so that you can get us both in the frame.

This stuff calming down a little bit

would be ideal for us.

Everything not becoming so harsh

and dominant in a way, I would say.

Just finally have a chance to be on our own.

A huge part of me just wanted to step back

and wish I never went to my friend's house that night

and wish that I never had to deal

with everything happening,

but you can't live in the past forever.

We're hopeful that something will finally work,

but there's always in the back of my head

that I accepted what is...

what is going on and that it may not ever leave me.
