sit down

please was it about

Elaine did Mark come home with you

no Laura I want you to to do something

for me I want you to get Mark to leave

this house and I want him to do it

you how much do you know about elain I

know that she's dead did you know that

she died here in this house house in the

room at the end of the

married since that very day I've I've

felt her behind me and when I've turned

around there's there's no one

there a ghost call it what you like a a

presence a feeling a a

will there's something of a lane in this

Laura she's the one Mark you've got to

get her out of the house tonight because

she's my wife yes oh Mark it's not what

you think I I have nothing against her

she seems like a nice sweet girl mother

what did you say Mark it's begin she

can't stay here I want to know what you

said to her if you get her out of the

house tonight you'll both still be safe

safe from what Elaine oh don't be

ridiculous mother Elaine's dead she

can't do anybody any

harm now where are you going I'm going

foolish now leave her alone stay away

from her and let her sleep I'll talk to

you later no not later no Mark what

about

Laura Laura is my responsibility mother

you let me worry about

her all right what was all that

about well two years ago after Elaine

died after you left it was all quite a

shock to your mother well I could never

have stayed here I know I know anyway I

came to see her I knew how destructive

she'd been Elaine your mother

Battleground maybe I shouldn't have done

it but I told her I thought that's why

Elaine drank so much oh guess I didn't

use my best bedside manner she's never

forgiven me

why can't we see our mistakes when we're

making them

Sam I should have known exactly what

would have happened if I brought Elaine

here to live nobody knows such things

I loved her and I killed her nonsense

she shot herself she did it not you and

it's ended nothing ever ends yes it does

Mark Let it go I can't do you know I've

never been able to tell Laura how much I

love her if you don't mind I'd like to

stay around a while and have another

look at her I thought it might end when

I fell in love with her

but it didn't I even thought that if I

brought her

here everything would

change but it doesn't work you think

you've pushed it away but it's still

right there

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Applause]

[Music]

Laura oh Mrs Wilson

they don't want me to talk to you

where's Mark

downstairs Laura I don't have much

time it was

Elaine wasn't

it I don't

know I thought I heard her but I don't

know maybe I'm going out of my

mind she was here

I want to see Mark Laura try to

understand Elaine was here that's not

possible she's

dead Laura the barrier between life and

death is weak very weak but between

death and life it's almost impregnable

she can't reach through not alone not

without help I know that now and so she

waits

she waits then someone comes Laura you

have to get away before it

happens before what happens Mrs Wilson

what can happen she'll use you she'll

use you to harm my

son that's ridiculous you didn't know

her she was strong and vengeful and

possessive and demanding

and she can possess your body she can do

it but Mark why would she want to hurt

mark it can happen again and this time

you may not be able to get away why

would she want to hurt him dear God make

her see doesn't matter what did he do to

her

he

he killed

her he killed her now do

understand I've never said anything to

anyone not even Mark but I

know Mark couldn't do a thing like that

they were in that

room they'd had quarrels before but this

was she was always trying to turn Mark

against me I heard him

shouting said he kill her I don't

believe it do you think I want to

believe it

he's my

son

later I heard the

shot and then I heard him running down

the stairs and by the time I got to the

hallway he was gone I still hear it over

and over again the shot the footsteps

the shot the

foot I went into their

room and she she was

dead the gun

was I picked it up I wiped it off I put

it in her

hand and I told the police she'd killed

herself they were very

sympathetic we had a permit for the gun

they even returned it it's not true none

of it Laura she's here and she's

waiting she'll want you to kill him

no Laura

you say you love him help him leave me

alone why can't you leave me alone

she'll come back again I know she will

get away get away get

away

help

yesterday and I had a second

chance then I'd really wake up and it

would be tomorrow and I didn't have a

second chance at all

you when Dave gets here I want to see

him Dave he'll be here and I want to see

him and you promised the doctor you'd

get see who it is

darling e

[Music]

no no there's no such thing is Spirit

possession it's a Superstition with no

basis in fact you saw her she was

different she wants to hurt Mark but

why Sarah if anyone's in danger it's

that poor girl and you have only

yourself to

blame I knew you'd say that now you

listen to me some people need a great

deal of reassurance in unfamiliar

surroundings like this they become more

uncertain more insecure extreme ex L

open to suggestion you terrified that

girl I told her the

truth I'm trying to

protect the way you protected him from

Elaine when she was alive I'm sorry

Sarah but there's more than one kind of

possession she found me she said she

wanted to see

me oh well come on upstairs

ghosts how did she know about Dave pure

was a ghost

anyway it was you brought Laura out of

it by appealing to her insecurity you

told her how important she was to you

and that's what she wanted to hear

cherisher Mark it's what we all need

most it's an old bromide but it happens

to be true I'll check back in the

morning I'm sorry

presence now you think about it
