Original subtitles

After a wife experiences tragic loss, she finds light in the darkness.

I thought it just has to be my husband.

Mike, is that you? Letting me know that he's still here.

Someone or something is here and it has a message.

The entity wants you either gone or wants you dead.

I don't think I'll ever be the same again.

In America.

There is real evil.

It lurks in the darkest shadows and in our most ordinary towns.

Between the worlds we see... Someone's in my room.

...and the things we fear, there are doors when they are opened.

Nightmares become reality.

In the summer of 2004, the Stowe family is living the dream, a perfect moment

frozen in time. Come on, let's play.

We had a very idyllic life.

Your typical suburbia, you know, mom stays at home and raises the kids.

Honey, come here. I feel her kicking.

Oh.

We got married in 1999.

Our son was born in 2002.

We were expecting our daughter.

You ready to meet your little sister?

Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah?

My husband was a very easygoing man.

He was a good dad. He was a good husband.

We got along great.

I used to wonder, how did I get so lucky?

Suddenly.

Stacy's happiness is shattered by a disturbing vision.

Honey.

Honey, are you okay?

Yeah, yeah, I'm okay.

I didn't tell him, but what I saw was our car in an accident.

All right.

Oh, hold on. Have a seat.

It's work.

My husband had just started a new job.

Hey, this is Mike.

He was an IT manager, and he loved computers.

All right, I'll be right in.

I've got to go.

Server's down.

I'll be quick.

I'll pick up dinner soon. I have to cook, OK?

OK.

Wait.

Are you sure you have to go?

Yeah, they can't do this without me.

Are you sure you're OK?

Yeah. Yeah, I'm OK.

I just kind of shook it off.

I was pregnant. I thought it was just hormones. I didn't tell him what I felt.

Time stands still for Stacy.

who can't seem to shake the eerie vision.

Ma'am?

I'm looking for Mrs. Stowe.

Oh, my God. Ma'am? When the police officer came to my door, I knew that my

premonition was coming true.

And he said, okay, ma'am, I don't want you to panic, but there's been

an accident.

Sir.

Sir, can you hear me?

And then he goes, I'm sorry, he died.

Sorry. And I started saying, I can't do this, I can't do this, I can't do this

alone.

After her husband's death, Stacy picks up the pieces of her life and carries on

as best she can.

A lot of widows that go through something like this, they cannot stand

to stay in the house.

I, on the other hand, I could not leave.

This is our home.

My husband and I built this home.

He's here. I can't leave.

Brynn is now nine and her brother Cameron, 12.

Today is a special day.

Stacey and her late husband's wedding anniversary.

What are you doing?

I'm setting a place for dad.

I never got to meet my dad because while I was in my mom's stomach, that's when

he died.

I'm very into video games and computers.

I kind of want to be the same job as my dad had.

Cameron, put your game away.

Put your game away.

I'm almost done with this level.

It's time to eat.

You can play later.

Ooh, looks good.

Cameron was very easygoing, just like his dad.

Just an easy kid.

Brynn, do you want to say grace?

Sure. My son is my husband.

And Brynn is me. And Brynn is extremely smart.

Even at that age, my daughter was like a little adult.

Thank you, Lord, for this our food and that we're here together.

Amen. Amen.

It was a tough thing to cope with, but as a family, after my husband died, I

tried to keep things as normal as possible for them.

This looks so good.

One afternoon, my kids were gone and I was cleaning.

I was like, where did this come from? What is this?

The teddy bear was holding a heart, and inside the heart was an orange stone.

And it was like a light bulb went off in my head, and I went, oh, my gosh, that's

my husband's birthstone.

Mike, is that you?

I thought he's just letting me know that he's never really actually gone

anywhere. He's still here.

A few days later, Cameron is hanging out in the living room.

I started feeling really hot and I looked over and saw the fireplace was

on.

I just kind of got a weird feeling.

I felt like something was in the room with me.

Something's wrong with the fireplace.

What happened?

It turned on by itself.

Twice.

Well, I seem to be working fine now.

Where'd you get that? Did you take that from my room?

No, I found it on the table.

Come on, aren't you going to the movies with Charlie?

Yeah. Go get ready.

My thing was, oh, it's my husband. He's playing a joke on us. That's what I

figured. I was strangely comforted by it.

It was a way of helping me to cope with the loss that

I would tell myself, although he's not here physically, I know he's here. I can

feel him here.

Stacey Stowe has been feeling a presence in her home.

When I got the courage to turn around, I saw what looked like an indentation on

the bed.

Although Stacy's frightened, she convinces herself it's her husband...

Mike?

Is that you?

...who died in a tragic car accident years ago.

I thought, it just has to be my husband.

My heartbeat slowed down, and I just kind of took a deep breath and fell back

into a peaceful sleep.

So far, Stacy is the only one who has sensed the spirit of Mike in the house.

Their two children, Cameron and Brynn, have not.

It was really tall and black with cat eyes.

It

was

pulling me down the hallway, like dragging me.

terrified. I was scared.

I didn't know what to do.

I was sitting there crying and my

mom didn't know what was going on.

She was crying, just tears streaming down her face.

What happened?

Is she okay?

Yeah, she just had a bad dream. Go back to bed, sweetie.

I was really worried for my sister.

Okay.

My mom just said that everything was fine.

It's just nightmares and nothing else.

You can stay with me. Come here.

At the time, I thought, well, all kids have nightmares, and they go through

nightmare stages.

I thought, you know, that it was normal, and it was okay, and everything would be

fine. It's going to be okay.

Over the next few days, she replays the incident in her mind again and again,

not fully convinced it was a dream.

I was like, this is real.

It was just horrible.

I was in my room and all of a sudden it was like something was

in there.

He looked like my dad. Blue eyes, brown hair.

Daddy?

It's me, honey.

I've been watching you.

The face just started transforming into black.

Nine-year-old Brynn Stowe once again sees an evil monster.

But this time, it's not a nightmare.

It was the same figure from the dream.

It was the exact same person. It had the cat eyes.

Rin, Rin, calm down.

She was so terrified. It was unlike anything that I had ever seen or heard

her do.

Calm down. Mom, calm down. Calm down. What's going on?

It's in there. There's something in my room. There's something in your room?

Yes, there's something in there. Okay.

Wait here. Wait, wait.

Do you see it?

It's in there.

Honey, there's nothing there.

What did you see?

I saw Dad.

Oh, Brynn, I... I knew he was here with us. I've been feeling him, too.

It was a dad.

It was a monster.

No, no, no. What are you talking about, honey? Are you sure it wasn't just a bad

dream? No! She's like, no, mommy.

He was there. I was not dreaming. It was real.

Honey, it'll be okay.

We'll figure it out, okay?

We'll figure it out. It'll be okay.

It'll be okay, sweetie.

Thinking Brynn is just having night terrors, Stacey moves her into her room

until they pass, while 12-year-old Cameron...

continues to sleep in his bedroom.

I went downstairs to get a snack.

The whispers started in the kitchen.

I couldn't tell where they were coming from or what they were saying.

I looked around, I didn't see anything.

It was about six feet tall, looked like a man.

It looked like it had a face, but I couldn't make it out. I could only see

its eyes.

It was probably the scariest thing I've seen in my life.

Mom,

I saw it.

It was here.

He was shaking. He was trembling.

And his face was just drained of color. His eyes were just huge.

My son is not a child that is easily shaken.

But this definitely shook him.

He was very afraid.

I've never seen that kind of fear.

What happened?

I saw this dark thing. It was like a shadow. It had these glowing eyes.

It just hit me.

Wow, now my son is describing the same thing that my daughter is describing.

Okay.

It's okay.

It's going to be okay.

It's going to be okay.

Can I sleep in here tonight?

Of course, Lydia, of course. This is not

right.

This is not my husband.

My husband would not be terrifying my children like this.

This is something else.

At that moment, I knew my house was haunted, and I knew I needed to get

help.

Stacey contacts a paranormal group who puts her in touch with the person

experts turn to when all else fails.

My name is Johnny and I classify myself as a cleaner. What I do is fairly

straightforward. I go in, I clean a residence of the entity or entities and

that's my sole purpose.

They were in danger.

This is the kind of case where the entity wants you either gone or wants

you dead.

There is a very dark presence.

Most people would call it demonic.

Demonic? When I found out from Johnny about the big thing that I tried to get

my daughter was demonic.

I just wanted to get my kids and run.

Demons or demonic energy take on your worst fears in your mind and

portray them. If you think it's a demon, you're going to perceive a demon. If you

think it's Satan, you will perceive that it's Satan.

I believe we need to do a cleansing as soon as possible.

Just tell us what to do.

I am at war with the entities in this home.

It's a spiritual war so you may not see anything, but know they are here.

During the cleansing, I push my mind through the house and I

go from side to side.

The dark entity that I'm after, all I see is a massive black blob.

And sometimes, it'll attack me.

Something grabbed my ankle.

I am at war

with the entities in this home.

With the help of a paranormal expert, the Stowe family is waging war against a

demonic entity haunting their home.

The entities will try to the last second to attain what they think is theirs. And

in this case, they decided that they weren't going to let go.

I was just terrified.

I was scared that a demon was trying to attach itself to me and take

me with it.

I felt just completely powerless, and I was screaming, no, no,

you can't have her.

Johnny jumps into action.

I focus all my energy into one place, and I go, bam, and it's lights

out. Be gone!

Everything just stopped, and the air felt

easy to breathe.

Bryn! Bryn! Bryn!

Is he gone? He's gone.

You're safe now.

I hugged my mom and she was like, this worked, it worked, it's gone.

But Johnny warns Stacey that although they are safe now, the family could be

vulnerable to new entities.

Children attract negative energies because they're so open. They haven't

built up the ability to fan things off.

Johnny told me when you clean out, a house anything that is outside the house

is going to sense that void and they're going to try to get in

over the next year the stoves grow more and more

confident that the cleaning worked

it

felt good in the house

I felt safe, and I felt like I was able to go anywhere I

wanted in the house. So I was sleeping in my room. I was fine.

Hey.

You okay?

I think so.

If you want, you can still sleep in my room.

Mom, I'm fine.

Okay.

I just knew.

My house was mine again, and it was just done.

This new beginning was exactly what my family needed.

I heard voices whispering, screaming at me.

We're going to get you. We're going to kill you.

I was super scared.

I thought I was crazy.

I wasn't sure if this was real.

It was my mind playing tricks on me. I didn't know.

The faces I saw all around, they were trapped.

They were banging, screaming, let us in, let us in, help us, help us.

Nine-year-old Brynn Stowe

believes she is trapped in a living nightmare.

I wasn't sure if it was my mind playing tricks on me. I didn't know.

I was terrified for my life.

She showed me the scratches three vertical angry red scratches They looked

almost like you got scratched by a cat.

I Was trying not to lose it in front of her. I was trying to be calm But my

heart it was racing. Um, let's go clean it up. Come on. I was at my wit's end

it's back and this time it has gotten physical it actually threatened her

instead of calling

johnny the cleaner the family decides to try a new approach

thank you so much for coming so quickly we just don't know

what to do one minute

Stacy reaches out to a gifted clairvoyant.

My name is Claudia Granger.

Originally, I'm from Germany, and I'm a psychic medium and a teacher and healer.

When I tuned into the house, I felt immediately a very dark, extremely nasty

presence.

There was a ceremony here a seance I See

two girls Teenagers They're related to you

My nieces they watched our house when we were on vacation that that was right

before all this started my nieces were Very close with both me and my husband

my husband and I practically raised them

They put some candles on.

They put their hands together in a circle, and they were calling on their

relatives. They were calling on spirits.

We're reaching out to connect with our lost Uncle Mike.

Are you there, Uncle Mike?

Can you hear us?

I believe they were trying to contact the spirit of your late husband.

My husband?

My God.

What did they do?

Uncle Mike?

Are you there?

We really miss you.

What was that?

Nothing.

Come on.

They've opened up a portal at your house.

That's why all of the activity has started up again.

A portal?

It's like a doorway to the other world.

If not properly closed, it can be very dangerous.

It allows spirits and other entities to come through.

I could see the portal directly in Brent's bedroom.

Please talk to us.

The birds got scared and screamed and left, and so the circle stayed open.

When a circle of energy is broken abruptly, it creates like a...

rift in existence, and that rift then can widen.

In that moment, it was a free for all for the spirits, whoever was close by,

to come and visit.

That's when the negativity could really come in. I think that your family is in

danger. We need to close this portal right away.

I need you all to join hands and remain in constant prayer with me. No matter

what happens, I want you to keep praying and stay focused, okay?

I need you to envision a golden light filling the room and surrounding your

house, okay?

She just told us all just to concentrate on that, envision the happiness and the

love and the light.

You ready?

Let love and light stream forth from the heart of God onto this earth. Seal the

door where the evil dwells. May heavenly light be anchored in this house so that

it removes the dark and becomes a gateway to heaven.

Let love and light stream forth from the heart of God onto this earth. Seal the

door where the evil dwells.

Let love and life stream forth from the heart of God onto this earth. Seal the

door where the evil dwells. Let love and life stream forth from the heart of God

onto this earth. Seal the door where the evil dwells.

Keep praying!

Let love and life stream forth from the heart of God.

The Stowe family is fighting to close a portal in their home with the help of

psychic medium Claudia Granger.

Stream forth from the heart of God onto this earth. Seal the door where the evil

dwells. Let love and light stream forth from the heart of God onto this earth.

Seal the door where the evil dwells. Let love and light stream forth from the

heart of God onto this earth. Seal the door where the evil dwells.

this earth. Seal the door where the evil dwells. Let love and light stream forth

from the heart of God onto this earth. Amen.

Amen.

Amen.

I opened my eyes and at that moment I just knew instinctually

that it was finally over.

It's closed.

My house was mine again.

Thank you.

I felt like a giant weight had been lifted off my shoulders.

Maybe you want a cup of coffee before you go? Yes, please.

You okay?

Yeah. But before she goes...

Claudia has something very important to tell the family about Bryn. Bryn, may I

speak with you for a minute?

Yeah.

Bryn, I believe that you have a very special gift.

I think Bryn is psychic, and that's why the activity in the house focused on

her. When I looked into Brynn's eyes for the first time, I instantly knew that

this was a psychic child.

Brynn seemed to have been targeted by the negative spirits of the portal

because she could see them.

I kind of knew that there was sensitivity.

I had a feeling that she had received the gift.

I was thinking, this makes sense now.

All the puzzle pieces are just coming together.

I understand.

Prince said she saw her father.

I think the demon disguised itself as your dad to gain your trust so that

you'd let your guard down.

I was angry, and for it to masquerade itself as my husband was like the

ultimate betrayal.

What do I do if it comes back?

I can train you.

You won't have to be afraid anymore.

She felt like we needed some guidance on how to learn how to protect yourself.

What kind of helped me a little was that Claudia told me, you know, I'm going to

help you. I'm going to guide you through this.

Everything's going to be okay. I'm here.

Over the next few months, the family is able to move on from the horrific

ordeal. As of today, my kids are both thriving.

They're doing well in school. I know that they're happy.

I'm happy.

I was really happy that we had our house back and

that me and my sister could play again and we could just be kids and not have

to worry about everything that was going on before.

Before all this happened, I was a skeptic.

But then after this dark, terrifying chapter in our lives, it

has now hit home that there are things out there that we know nothing about.

There is no question in my mind.

I believe very much that it is real.

I don't think I'll ever be the same again.

I think.

This has affected my life, and I'll never be able to, you know, change.

I think I was given this gift to become confident, to help other people

with things like demons in their house.

Maybe she is going to do something that will turn this world on its ear.

She's going to do something big.
