[water running]

[Eli] 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 believed you.

These are the actual accounts of terror as told by the victims,

who came face-to-face with their demons and survived.

I wasn't anticipating the horror that I was going to go through.

I ended up landing a really awesome, fun job

for a big tech corporation as an inside-sales coordinator.

And then on the side, I liked to refurbish furniture,

antique furniture, specifically.

And I could sell it for anywhere between $400 to $1,000 apiece.

I loved making that money in doing something that I loved.

I was on a buy-sell trade website,

where I found this antique vanity,

and I thought it was gorgeous.

It had a lot of Victorian-style character to it.

I asked James if he would be willing to go pick it up for me.

It needed some work, definitely,

but it was a beautiful piece of furniture.

-Hey! -[startled gasp]

Hey, you okay?

[chuckles nervously] Yeah, I'm fine.

You like it?

I love it.

Thanks for picking it up.

Best boyfriend ever.

[both chuckle]

It's a good one.

You want to eat?

Yeah.

Come on. It's not going anywhere. We'll get it later.

James, do you want to come color with me?

I would love to, little one. What are we coloring?

-A pony. -A pony?

-Have you started? -Yeah.

Come, show me what you've got. Let's do it.

[bells tolling]

-Hey, babe. -[gasps]

[sighs in relief]

All right, that's twice in one day, I made you jump.

-Sure you're okay? -Yeah, just, uh, really tired.

[James] You want to move it to the work shed?

Let's put it in the bedroom.

The bedroom?

That's a first.

Is it a problem?

No. No, not a problem.

Just... [sighs]

Just surprised.

Maybe, I won't sell this one.

Maybe, I'll keep it.

Shall we?

-[James] In the corner? -[Amber] Yeah.

[James] Okay.

[Amber] Okay.

[straining] Happy?

-Yeah. -Good.

[chuckles]

[sighs]

I was always excited to flip my furniture.

But this particular piece, I just could not quite get myself to start the process.

I originally had plans on fixing it up

within, you know, two, three, maybe four days.

A few days ended up turning into about nine or ten days.

[distant voice whispering]

Just something about it was just telling me not to touch it.

[distant voice whispering]

[voice] Amber.

[Rowan] Yeah, this is my favorite.

She's so pretty.

Do you like my tea set?

My mom bought it for me.

Would you like some tea?

Rowan, who're you talking to?

The White Lady.

-Who? -[Rowan] The White Lady.

What does this lady look like?

She's dressed in white and really nice.

Wow. Anything else?

No.

Hey, why don't you and I play a game?

No, not now.

Okay, maybe later.

She asks a lot of questions about you.

What kind of questions?

[White Lady whispers] Oh, I'm coming, yeah.

[gasps]

[White Lady whispers distantly]

[White Lady] Mine.

[gasping]

[White Lady whispers] Amber.

[Amber] Just walking through the house

starts to have a sense of heaviness to it.

It just felt really dark, heavy,

uh, cold, at times.

Not the normal light and airy feeling that I typically got.

When I started noticing things out of the corner of my eye,

or even hearing things,

I thought, you know, I'm hallucinating, maybe.

I'm going a little crazy.

It was a lot to take in.

[footsteps approaching]

[low rumbling]

-[floorboard creaking] -[footsteps approaching]

[water running]

Rowan?

Morning, baby.

Was that you running around the house?

No.

So you didn't open up all the cupboards and turn on the water?

Why would I do that?

Come play with me, Mommy.

Please.

[groaning]

I'm sorry, honey.

My stomach's not feeling right.

The White Lady says you should play with me,

and you're bad if you don't.

Is the White Lady here now?

We're going to have a tea party.

You can go now.

I'll check in on you later then.

I did not see her,

but my daughter was pointing to the corner and telling me that that's where she was.

[faint laughter]

There was nobody else in the house,

the doors were locked.

I didn't know how to feel.

I was just put off-guard and scared.

Over the course of the next few weeks,

I felt sick all the time.

Drained.

My energies started just depleting.

My mood started changing.

I just was not motivated to do anything at all.

My whole life was sucked out of me, honestly.

Rowan?

[White Lady whispers] Amber.

Amber.

[screaming]

[gasping]

[water running]

[water running]

[gasping]

[Rowan] This bear, I call Mr. Waddles because he walks funny.

[White Lady] I can see that.

[Rowan] And I call this guy Peepers,

because he has such big eyes.

[White Lady] I love his eyes.

[Rowan] This is Mrs. Fuzzpaw. She's my favorite.

[White Lady] She's my favorite, too.

The White Lady doesn't want you here!

If I were to walk into my kitchen,

the faucet would just come straight on like that.

Not even a little slow trickle or anything like that,

but just full on.

-Just full speed. -[woman] Wow!

Or sometimes, the cabinets would just fly open

and things would start coming off.

Over the course of the next few months,

it got progressively worse.

Rowan, is everything okay?

Okay for me and okay for my friend, the White Lady.

[in a demonic voice] But she wants you dead.

[startled scream]

-[breathing heavily] -[James] Oh, baby. What happened?

[James] You okay?

-Hey! -Yeah, it was just a bad dream.

Okay, good.

You really started to scare me.

Me, too.

[breathing heavily]

-I'm fine. Just go back to sleep. -[James] Okay.

I decided just not to tell James about this.

I didn't want him to make me feel like I was even crazier

than how I was already feeling at the time.

Rowan.

Rowan, baby.

Breakfast is ready.

Rowan?

We aren't hungry.

[toy baby cries]

[White Lady laughing]

[toy baby crying]

[James] You realize how you sound, don't you?

Of course, I do.

But listen to me. I saw--

You're just not making any sense.

Except, that toy didn't have any batteries in it.

Well, that's okay... Well, are you sure the batteries weren't in it?

Or it has like a back-up thing?

Yes, I was sure!

James, I'm worried, okay?

I'm afraid.

[James] I... Yeah.

Uh...

What do you want me to say?

What, you think it's a ghost?

My God!

He thought that I was just crazy.

"It was just all in my mind,"

that's the way he rationalized everything,

and never really took it into consideration

that what I was seeing and experiencing is real.

[White Lady whispering indistinctly]

Mine.

Amber.

[indistinct whispering continues]

-[Amber gasping, retching] -[James] Hey!

-[James] Hey. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. -[Amber retches]

[James] Okay, okay, okay. Hi.

-You okay? -[sobs]

[Amber] Something was off.

I was scared.

I just felt like I was being controlled,

and I didn't have any control of myself.

I lost it.

I didn't know what was going on around me,

but I knew that I was threatened.

Even after everything that I started to experience,

it still didn't dawn on me that things were going to continue to get worse.

I really didn't know how to handle my emotions.

Is this what the rest of my life is going to be like?

Just being perpetually haunted?

Sometimes, I would get to work and I would just lay my head down on my desk

and ignore phone calls, ignore e-mails.

I was so mentally and physically drained, exhausted.

I couldn't think.

I didn't know what to do.

[White Lady whispers] Amber.

Amber.

Amber.

Amber.

Amber.

Amber.

Amber.

[grunts]

[gasps]

Are you okay?

I had a mental breakdown.

I was hyperventilating.

It was one of the worst anxiety attacks I had ever experienced in my life.

I couldn't control my emotions.

And I didn't know what was going on with me.

And at this time, I gathered a box that I had,

I put all my personal belongings in it,

and I never went back to work after that day.

After I quit my job,

James was mad at me.

Things started to progressively get worse.

[faint footsteps]

Rowan.

Want to help mommy make lunch?

Rowan?

Come on, baby.

[Rowan giggling]

[Amber] Rowan!

Rowan.

[Rowan giggles]

[gasps]

[White Lady laughs distantly]

The White Lady says "Hi."

Honey, this White Lady, she's not nice to me.

That's because she never had kids of her own.

She loves them and she wants one.

-She told you that? -Uh-huh.

Did she tell you where she came from?

You asked James to bring her home.

Do you like it?

I love it.

I finally put two and two together,

that the White Lady had something to do with the vanity.

[startled gasp]

[shrieking]

[screams]

[groans]

[White Lady laughs distantly]

[Amber] I couldn't do it.

I felt like the vanity was telling me don't come close to it.

It had a hold on me.

It was a sickening feeling,

and I hated that I couldn't fix it.

-[Amber] Have fun at grandma's, okay? -I don't want to go.

You need to.

Thanks for dropping her off for me.

[James] Yeah.

No worries.

You sure you don't want me to come back?

Not tonight.

Sorry, I'm just tired.

[James] It's okay.

-[James] Try and relax, okay? -[chuckles] Yeah.

[James] Yeah.

Bye, hun.

[car starting]

Bye!

[Amber] I knew something was in the house.

I just wanted my baby to be safe.

[church bells tolling]

I did start brainstorming on ideas of finding priests

that were certified in doing exorcisms.

I thought, maybe they could, at least, bless my house or try some sort of cleansing.

But I, unfortunately, could not find a priest willing to do so.

[White Lady whispers] Amber.

[water running]

[water running]

[Amber shrieks]

[White Lady whispers] Amber. Amber.

Amber.

Get out of my house!

[White Lady whispers] Amber.

-Amber. Amber. -Get out.

Stop it!

[White Lady laughing diabolically]

[choking and coughing]

[White Lady] The child is mine!

[White Lady laughing diabolically]

The child is mine.

[Amber] I vividly remember being choked.

After I blacked out, and I came back,

the bath water was running,

the sinks were all turned on.

I really didn't know what to think.

I was just so confused and I was petrified.

I was shaking.

I was cold.

[grunting]

[breathing heavily]

James! James, you have to hurry up.

You have to come back now.

[James] What? Why?

-James, you have-- Hello? -[phone disconnects]

[White Lady] The child is mine.

My child.

The child is mine.

I want my child.

Where are you?

-[rumbling] -[gasps]

[White Lady laughing]

[evil shrieking]

[Amber] Get out of my house!

[glass shatters]

[White Lady] The child is mine.

I needed to get rid of the vanity.

That's what was causing all of this mayhem in my life.

[White Lady shrieking]

I made sure it burned completely.

After the flames would die down, I would fire it up again,

and just really made sure that every little piece of it was just done with.

After that day, I automatically felt a sense of relief.

It just felt so good again,

like, I could breathe.

Things felt optimistic again, and I felt like myself.

I felt hope.

It was, honestly, the most traumatic experience

I'd ever gone through my entire life.

I do fully blame the vanity or whatever was attached to the vanity.

After this happened,

James and I were always just finding things to get mad at each other about.

And I honestly feel like it had a lot to do with this entity,

this demonic possession,

that took over the whole household,

tearing us apart.

I've since learned that

it's easy for a demon to attach itself to

an inanimate object...

[toy baby crying]

...as well as humans...

But she wants you dead.

[gasps]

...just to try and have some sort of way to stay here.

I don't work for a tech company anymore.

But I do bartend now,

which actually makes fairly decent money.

-[Amber] So you have Mrs. Fuzzpaw? -[Rowan] Yeah.

-[Amber chuckles] And you're all ready now? -Uh-huh.

-[Amber] All tucked in? -Yeah.

Goodnight, my love.

Goodnight. Love you, Mommy.

[Amber] I love you too.

Okay, no staying up.

[Rowan] Okay.

-[Amber chuckles] Goodnight. -[Rowan] Goodnight.

Rowan has always been a relatively compassionate

and open, caring kind of person.

And so, I would say that

even though her and the White Lady had some sort of relationship,

it never really changed who my daughter was.

She talks about things that happen all the time.

She'll say she sees stuff from the corner of her eye.

It was pretty chilling that something like that happened.

I was just praying, once I got rid of the vanity,

that particular entity would just leave.

[White Lady shrieking]

I do continue to experience things today,

but nothing like what I was experiencing

during that moment in time.

I think I'll always be cautious, just given what I've gone through.

I'm on edge, a lot,

and I don't feel as safe as I used to growing up.
