♪ ♪

- So come on in.

- Ooh!
- Welcome.

- The house had to work.

I had too much to lose.

- Kristel, there's
something going on in there.

- It just didn't feel right.

- I'm just a little bit worried.

I thought you should see this.

- If this was her
vision of our house...

[Muffled screaming]

What was she seeing?

- Monster eyes!

- Is that a bee?

- It was almost biblical.

[Explosion]

Could this all
be, like, a curse...

- [Shouts]

- From an angry preacher?

- [Screams]

- Back in 1997, I was
not in a great place.

I had just ended a
four-year relationship,

and my grandmother
had recently passed away,

and we'd had our childhood
home sold out from under us.

My daughter, Taylor,
and I really needed to find

a place to live,

but finding housing on a
single wage was pretty tough.

I have a younger sister, kerrie,

and she was in a
bad situation herself.

- I was in a fairly
bad relationship,

and I needed to
get out of there fast.

Like kristel, I needed
a place to live.

- Hey, Taylor.
- Yeah?

- High-five.
- Yeah.

- [Laughs] Do you
want to play Patty-cake?

- I met dawn in school,

and we hit it off right away.

She was funny, and
she made me laugh.

- ♪ Eat the cake ♪

- Today!
- Yay!

- Dawn would come to our
home pretty much every weekend.

So she sort of was a
part of the extended family.

- Dawn was also experiencing
a breakup in her relationship

and was in a similar place.

And then kerrie had a brainwave.

- I said to kristel,

"why don't we live together?

Let's find a place.
Let's find a great home."

We all decided we'd had
enough of the bad relationships,

poor decisions, bad
luck, whatever it was.

We could choose to make
a better life for ourselves.

The house was
absolutely beautiful.

- Hi.

I'm kerrie.
- Nice to meet you.

- Beautiful, sprawling house.

- Having my sister there
and having dawn there

to be part of my
daughter's life as well,

was very attractive to me.

- Look at that Ivy.
- [Gasps]

- For the first
time in a long time,

I felt hopeful.

- All right, so come on in.
- Ooh!

- Welcome.

- There was just so much room.

- Isn't it beautiful?
[Chuckles]

Plenty of room
for all of you here.

Just a lovely family home.

Nice, tall ceilings here.
- Mommy, can I go upstairs?

- Sure, hon.
- Of course, original hardwood.

- My daughter and I had been
living in such a cramped space

that it felt like we
could stretch out

and we could breathe.

- So come on in here.

Now, if you come
around this way...

- As we walked
through the house,

we kept looking
at each other like,

"this house is too nice."

We noticed this
enormous stone wall

that was running in the hallway.

- The wall looked a
little bit out of place.

It was cold and it was heavy.

It looked like that wall at one
time had been on the outside.

- Now, down the
hall is the kitchen,

but if you want to just come
with me, let's go upstairs...

- We were feeling really
optimistic and overjoyed

about starting our life over
in this wonderful, new house.

- We said right away,
"yes, we'll take it."

Moving day was crazy.

Around 2:00 in the morning,

we still had half
the truck to unload,

and we didn't have
any energy left.

So we decided to
just get some rest

and take our time with unpacking

and moving that
stuff in the house later.

I felt really enthusiastic
about the future

and what it was
gonna bring for us.

[Water drips]

[Low creaking]

[Child giggling]

In the middle of the night...

[Child giggles]

I was jolted awake by the
sound of a child giggling.

[Giggling]

And footsteps in the hallway.

[Giggling]

- Taylor, honey, I
know you're excited,

but you got to get
some sleep, okay?

Come on back up to bed.

- And as soon as I said that...

- Mommy, I'm here.
- [Gasps]

- What the hell? You know?

- Oh, okay. All right, honey.

You just go back to bed, okay?
- Okay.

- Okay. I'll see
you in the morning.

Okay, go back to sleep.

[Wood creaking]

- And then I heard
another creak,

and it was clear,
and it was loud,

and there was no mistaking it.

[Wood creaking]

I saw a shadow,

and it looked like somebody
was walking in the hallway.

[Creaking]

And I was nervous,

but I kept checking, and
I went around the corner

past the stone wall.

Immediately,

I was struck by this cold.

- [Shivering]

[Footsteps]

- And I can hear somebody's
footsteps behind me.

[Footsteps]

[Air rushing]

Then I felt somebody exhaling,
like, right behind my ear.

I was just like, "okay,
this is my imagination.

There's nothing there."

[Bells tolling]

There was this lethargy
that settled on us,

and it was something beyond
the exhaustion of the move.

[Water running]

- We unpacked our clothes

and the things that we
needed immediately.

We never did get around
to unpacking the boxes.

The light and the warmth
that had been so inviting

about the house didn't
seem to be there anymore.

It was impossible not to notice.

There had been
a significant shift

in the energy of the house.

[Water running]

It just didn't feel right.

[Frost crackling]

- Kerrie, it's freezing in here.

- I know. Here,
have some coffee.

- Oh, thank you so much.

I'm gonna check on the fire.

- It was always cold inside,

which was unusual because
it was only September.

- It's like a
refrigerator in here.

- Ah.

- Is that working?
- No.

- Kerrie went and turned
the thermostat up to 85.

And it made no
difference at all.

[Tones beeping]

- So I called the landlord.

- Uh, yeah, hello. Hi.

This is kerrie.
Yeah, the tenant.

Um, listen, it's
freezing in here.

- It was especially
cold by the hallway

where the stone wall was.

- The repairman comes
and looks at the furnace.

He fills our tank with
$500 worth of propane.

- This should get you by
more than a couple of months.

- Okay. Thanks.

That's good.

- We felt, "okay, we're
gonna be fine for a while."

[Flames surge, door squeaks]

[Fire crackling]

[Clock ticking]

[Frost crackling]

[Bells tolling]

[Frost crackling]

- I woke up the next morning
because I was freezing.

- This is ridiculous.

- And it was colder
than the day before.

- Mommy, I'm cold.
- Oh, honey, come here.

Ooh.

- I called the fuel
company again and I said,

"what's going on here?
This house is freezing."

- [Sighs] Well, your
fuel tank was empty.

- Empty.

- There's no leak in the lines.

There's no reason the
fuel should be gone,

but it's fine now.

- We were just like, "wow,
how could this happen?"

- Okay, well, how much
is this gonna cost me?

- $500.

- $500?

No.

- It was another $500
that we didn't have.

It made no sense.

We knew something was wrong.

It was like the house
didn't want to stay warm.

[Frost crackling]

That night, I was exhausted.

And I'd been asleep,
maybe an hour

when I heard...

[tapping]

"Tap, tap, tap,
tap," on my window.

[Tapping]

And then I had a
horrible realization

that my bedroom window
was 20 feet off the ground

and it wasn't possible for
anyone to be standing there.

[Wood creaking]

The noise could only be
coming from inside the house.

[Tense music]

♪ ♪

[Frost crackling]

- I see a crack,

and it slowly sort of made
its way across the window.

[Cracking]

My whole body stiffened.

I thought it had to
be the temperature

that caused the glass to break.

There had to be a
rational explanation.

- Mommy?

Mommy? Mommy?

- The next day,
the crack was gone.

- Mommy? Are you coming down?

- I didn't know
what to think of it.

It was weird.

- Later that night,

I hadn't been in
bed for very long,

and I was woken up.

[Faint ethereal singing]

It sounded as though
there was a choir

literally standing
in my bedroom.

[Choir harmonizing]

A choir singing amazing grace.

[Faint ethereal singing]

♪ ♪

I went into the hallway.

Everybody's door
shut. Nobody's awake.

[Clock ticking]

[Faint ethereal singing]

The singing continued.

[Ethereal singing]

♪ ♪

There were many muffled voices.

It was like a church choir.

[Ethereal choir singing]

♪ ♪

It's not coming from
inside the house.

Is it coming from
outside the house?

[Ethereal choir singing]

So I walked back to my bedroom,

and looked out the window,

'cause I'm thinking, "are
they standing on the lawn?"

There was nobody there.

Am I going crazy?

Am I hearing things?

[Birds singing]

- Taylor, honey,
eat your breakfast.

- Kerrie came into
the dining room,

and I noticed that
she looked tired

and she had bags under her eyes.

- Hey, munchkin, you okay?

- Taylor had dark
circles under her eyes.

- Hey, how have you
guys been sleeping?

- Not very well.

- Why do you ask?

- I don't know, I've
been hearing music.

Have you heard choirs?

- It was really hard to
admit what was going on,

to talk about it.

- No. No, I haven't
heard anything.

It was probably, like, a
car driving by or something.

- Maybe it's you dreaming it.

I didn't know what to say.

There really was a
weird energy in the house.

We were trying to move
away from bad relationships

and the challenges we had had.

We were trying to take charge
and move forward with our lives.

Maybe we just hadn't
dealt with our issues

that we had all moved in with.

[Bells tolling]

[Knocking]

I was doing chores when I
heard a loud knock on the door.

[Knocking]

I stopped what I was doing

and went to the
door to answer it...

And no one was there.

[Scraping]

[Bell rings]

A few minutes later,

another knock on the door,

only this time, they were
pounding on the door.

[Loud knocking]

[Knocking continues]

[Knocking]

- Again, nobody there.

I was getting really
mad and really frustrated.

I figured somebody in
the neighborhood thought

it would be funny to play
pranks on the new people,

but who could we have offended?

Later that afternoon,

I was sitting at my
sewing machine...

- I don't know where he is.

I don't know.

I haven't seen
him in a long time.

- I heard my daughter in
her room just chatting away.

- I really don't
know where he is.

- And making her
toys talk to each other

and just doing what kids do.

- I really don't
know where he is.

- And I poked my head in.

- I haven't seen
him in a long time.

- And she was looking up

as though she was speaking
to somebody in front of her.

- She's a good woman.

She's nice and
polite and very gentle.

- But there was nobody there.

- Taylor, honey, who
were you talking to?

- No one.

- No, I just heard you.

Who were you talking to?
- No one, mommy.

- It was like a conversation
I wasn't invited to.

[Keys playing lightly]

- Taylor, can you please take
your dishes down the to kitchen?

[Dishes clattering]

- She just, with
venom, was like,

"no, you take it
into the kitchen."

- Taylor.

- The look on her face

was not the look you see
on a six-year-old's face.

- [Shouting]

- Stop. Just stop.

- She threw
herself to the floor.

- Stop it!
- I don't want to!

- I'd never seen
anything like it,

and I was terrified.

- Stop it, Taylor! Stop it!

Stop!
- I don't want to!

I don't want to!
- Stop it.

- It seemed like something
was changing her personality.

- I don't want to!
I don't want to!

- That night,

I was thinking about what
was going on with Taylor,

and I was getting
worried about dawn.

She was sort of
retreating into herself.

[Rapid tapping]

Then we had just settled down,

and I heard a tapping sound.

A "tap, tap."

[Rattling]

I looked at the window,
and I didn't see anything.

[Electricity shorting]

[Low rumbling]

[Explosion]

- [Gasps]

- All of a sudden,
we heard "boom."

- Oh, my god, the furnace.

- Oh, god, Taylor. Taylor!

- The floor shook and
the windows shook.

- Hello? We have an emergency.

We need a fire truck right away.

- It was like a Cannon
had just gone off.

- Yeah, send it immediately!

- I sent the fire chief
down to the cellar

where the boiler was.

- We're good.

Your pilot light went out,

and the gas was
building underneath.

- Gas had been building
up in that little space.

- It was still pumping
through the system,

then it just blew.

- What... What could
have caused that?

- You guys are
lucky you're not dead.

- The furnace blew up.

- Hey, baby.

- There was no explanation
from the fire department

- help. I'm scared.
- It's okay.

Everything's okay now.

- I started to ask
myself the question,

"is something paranormal
going on in this house?"

[Ethereal choir singing]

♪ ♪

In that moment, we
could hear a choir.

- Kristel, did you hear that?

- I didn't know what to say.

I just didn't want to have
a conversation about it.

I didn't want to talk about it.

- She was clearly determined
to say this wasn't happening.

[Electricity buzzing]

[Low rumbling]

[Loud pop]

[Loud pop]

I sort of felt like
I was going mad.

There's something out of this
world going on in this house.

[Loud pop]

This was starting
to feel dangerous.

[Muffled screaming]

- [Screams]

Mommy! Mommy!

Monster eyes! Monster eyes!

[Muffled screaming]

- [Screams]

Mommy! Mommy!

- I hear this drilling,
piercing scream.

- [Shrieking]

- Taylor.

Taylor, honey, what's wrong?

- She's sitting up in bed
and pointing at the wall.

- I saw monster eyes on my wall.

- Monster eyes?

- And I looked where
she was pointing...

- Oh, honey, it's just ponies.

It's just ponies,
baby. You're okay.

- It's just a drawing. You know?

It... i was really
kind of surprised.

But she was inconsolable.

- Do you want to come sleep
in mommy's room tonight?

- She said she wanted
to sleep with me.

- Oh.
- Come on.

Let's go to bed. Okay?

- So I brought her
in my room to sleep.

- Thanks, kerrie.

- Come here.

- I didn't want to believe it,

and I didn't want
to think about it,

so I didn't engage.

- Kris, listen to me.

Kristel.

There is something
going on in there.

- There's something
not right here.

What is going on?

- We just have to
get used to the house.

- Kristel, are you
losing your grip?

Dawn is petrified.

- Kristel wouldn't
hear about it.

- You'd have to be
blind and deaf not to see

there's something going on here.

- There's nothing going on.

- [Sniffs]

Admitting that there was
something going on meant...

I had to do something,

I had to take
some kind of action,

and that action was to get out.

And I wasn't ready to give up.

- I felt like the house was
driving a wedge between us.

[Scraping sound]

- The next morning, I
was trying to get some rest.

I heard a scraping sound.

[Scraping]

So I get up...

And I move very
slowly into the hallway.

[Scraping sound]

Each of the dining room
chairs was moving all on its own.

Dawn came in the room

and saw what I was seeing,

and then I hear more scraping,

and the other chairs pull
themselves away from the table

in the same manner.

[Scraping]

And I was in absolute
disbelief as to what I was seeing.

There was something
going on in our house.

Dawn had had enough.

She said she couldn't
take it anymore.

- There was no time
to even say good-bye.

She was just gone.

- Now there were only
two of us paying the bills.

- We realized we couldn't
get on top of our financing

until the winter was
over, so we couldn't leave.

We were essentially
trapped in this situation...

In this house.

- Things just became
worse very quickly.

- Michael looks in the window.

There are all kinds
of nice things to eat,

[buzzing sound]

Such as little pigs
made of marzipan.

He goes inside.
- Kristel.

- Yeah?

- Is that a bee?

- I thought she
had to be mistaken

because it was November and
there are no bees in November

in Vermont.

- Oh, my god.

- And then there was another.

- Oh, god.

[Buzzing]

All of a sudden, there was
another bee and another bee.

[Buzzing]

- Come here.

It's okay.

- The room was
filling with bees.

- They were everywhere.

Out of thin air.

- Oh, my god.

- The noise was unbelievable.

[Buzzing]

There was thousands and
thousands and thousands of bees.

- Taylor!

[Buzzing]

- The bees just kept throwing
themselves at the glass.

[Buzzing]

We were the target.

[Buzzing]

They were trying to
come through the cracks.

[Tape ripping]

So we taped off all the
cracks we could find.

- You could not even see
through the glass enough

to see the room.

- It was like a plague.

[Buzzing]

[Buzzing]

- It was almost biblical.

We called the landlord

and he called an
exterminator to come out.

We could tell that he was
profoundly uncomfortable

with what he had seen.

- I just don't get it.

- He was never able to find
where they originated from,

why they were there in
the middle of the winter.

There was no explanation for it.

- The events in the house
were starting to take their toll

on all of us.

We didn't have any more money,

but we had to get
out of the house.

My biggest concern was Taylor

and the effect the
house was having on her.

- Hi, honey. How was school?

- One afternoon, I went to
pick Taylor up from school,

and her teacher asked
if I had a few minutes.

She wanted to show me a drawing
that Taylor had done that day.

- Okay, Taylor, honey, go
wait for mommy in the car.

Okay? I'll be there in a second.

What can i...

- How's everything?
- It's good.

- Um,

does Taylor like the new place?

- Yeah, it's an adjustment,
but she's getting used to it.

- Okay.

I'm just a little bit worried

because today the students
drew pictures of their homes...

I thought you should see this.

- My stomach just sank.

It was this horrifying
vision of our house.

Everything was black
and dead-looking,

and in each of the windows was
a black figure with orange eyes.

It was absolutely terrifying.

It was a nightmare.

- Look, if there's
anything I can help,

or if you need
to talk about it...

- Okay. Yeah.
- Just let me know.

- Thank you. Thank you.

- Take care.
- You have a good day.

- If this was her vision of our
house, what was she seeing?

I was sitting in my
car in my driveway...

And I just lost it.

It was like all the failure,
in spite of all the effort,

[tapping]

- [Screams]

God.

- Are you okay?

- It startled me,
and I realized that

it was my neighbor.

- How's everything
going with the house?

- [Sighs]

- I said, "this is
gonna sound crazy,

but..."

- I think our house is haunted.

- And he did not
seem surprised at all.

- My family's been living
near this house for a long time,

and there's always been some
kind of activity going on here.

- He said, "you're not crazy."

- That old place
has quite a history.

Take care.

- I realized that I needed to
find out more about the house,

and I was determined
to find answers.

I thought the best
thing I could do

was to start at the
town historical society.

I discovered a strange history
about the town of hinesburg.

Our house was where
a church once stood.

I thought of the old
stone wall in our house...

And I had to wonder,

did these stones
come from the church?

[Bell tolling]
- Pray with me!

Our father!

- The church belonged
to a strange baptist sect

led by a fire and
brimstone preacher.

- Come to me, all ye who labor

with a heavy laden.

- Their belief systems
were pretty extreme.

These folks believed that the
end of the world was imminent.

- And the third part
of the earth was burnt.

- And the sinners would
be engulfed in flames.

- By the fire and
smoke and sulfur

coming out of their mouths!

- Someone from the town
got pretty fed up with them

and had set the
whole area ablaze.

[Man screaming]

Could this all be, like, a
curse from an angry preacher?

- And he opened
the bottomless pit.

- The things we had seen,
the clouds, the smoke,

the threat of fire.

- And from the smoke, locusts.

- I thought of, like,
a plague of locusts,

but for us, it was bees.

- He casts forth
his iced fragments.

- I felt a chill run down
my spine as I thought about

the chill in the house.

- Their torment was like the
torment as a scorpion strikes!

[Muffled screaming]

Amen!

All: Amen.

- Maybe those lingering
souls resented us.

Could that be it?

Did the congregation disapprove
of me being a single parent?

- Raise your hands!

- And vermonters on the
West Side are being asked

to stay safe on
the roads tomorrow

as showers and snow
flurries are expected.

- We didn't have any more money,

but we had to get
out of the house.

- Temperatures may
drop to below 41 degrees.

- We heard on the radio that
there was gonna be a big storm,

and we thought, "okay."

We native vermonters,

we never thought that
that was that big of a deal.

We were going to
leave the next morning.

- Where can we go, like, now?

- Um...

Well, we don't have any money.

Mom's is the only
place we can go.

- Let's go see mom.

- We deal with
storms all the time.

I wasn't overly concerned.

And boy, was I wrong.

[Wind whistling]

We woke up the next morning

to a different world.

[Wind whistling]

Everything is coated in ice.

It was lethal.

It was apocalyptic.

- [Gasps]

[Shivering]

- It was a huge, huge storm,

and it was clear to both of us

we weren't going anywhere.

- We could hear the wind howling

and the relentless
pelting of sleet.

It didn't stop.

It just kept
building in intensity.

- It was as though
we finally decided,

"we're gonna get out of here,"

and now we're absolutely stuck.

- From the breath of god,

ice is made.

- We took all the blankets

and decided we would
just wait out the storm.

- Where's the lights?

- Candles.

I think there's some
over here. Okay?

- Shh.

- I think the rest are
in the dining room.

All right.

- Auntie kerrie will be
right back, okay, baby?

Things didn't get better.
They got worse at that point.

[Loud pop]

- [Gasps]

- [Whimpering] Kerrie?

- There was doors slamming.

[Scraping]

[Keys playing lightly]

There was piano keys playing.

- [Whimpering]

- It's as though the house
knows they can't do anything.

They can't really go anywhere.

[Door slams]

[All gasp]

- Ahh! Ahh! Ahh!
- Shh. Shh.

- Taylor was really frightened.

[Loud rattling]

- Mom, make it stop.

[Crying]
- Shh. Shh.

- No!
- Kristel, where are you going?

- I heard footsteps
in the hallway.

- Kristel.
- No!

- Kristel, what are you doing?

- When you have
a child in the house,

you have to hold it together

and you have to at least
appear to be strong for that child.

- Mommy.

[Voice breaking] I
had to do something.

I had to take
some kind of action.

- No!
- Don't go.

- No!

- I walked down the hallway...

[Door slams]

And I heard whispers.

[Ethereal whispers]

And I saw a shadow on the wall.

[Door creaks open]

[Ethereal choir singing]

I knew what wanted to hurt us,

and I'd seen it.

♪ ♪

And just as
suddenly as it started,

it stopped.

And the room was
suddenly still and quiet.

[Wind blowing]

I hadn't been asleep
for very long when...

I felt the weight of something.

- Kerrie?

- It wasn't kerrie.

- Kerrie?

- [Whispering] What's going on?

- We could see dark
shadows moving around.

[Ethereal choir singing]

Human shapes.

♪ ♪

- It was the congregation
of that church.

They hated us, and
they didn't want us there.

A figure walked past.

It looked like a
preacher in the 1800s.

- [Gasps]

- I was just so scared.

- [Screaming]

And then it was gone.

- [Ragged breaths]

- The storm finally passed.

- We knew that
for us, that was it.

- Oh, wait. Go get...
go get your backpack.

Go get your bag.

- We made a plan to
stay with our mother.

This place that was
supposed to be the place

where we would rest and heal

literally tormented
us from day one.

- Kerrie.
- Huh?

- I forgot her elephant
in the living room.

- Oh.
- Can you finish this?

I'm gonna run and go get it.
- Yeah. Okay.

- Thank you.

- The preacher did everything
possible to make sure

that we didn't rest,

and, certainly, there
was no healing there.
