The next idea is to bring a medium into the house, which Steve is skeptical towards because it is hard to quantify what they say. The medium they call, Jill Morris, has not been told what has been happening with the house to add credibility to what she says. She seems to notice things almost immediately, before even entering the house. She likes to pick out strong focal points to address, and notes the backyard as a potent energy point. Jill says there are a lot of different dimensions and shifting going on. She also claimed to have had many different dreams before coming to the house. She recognized the door, making a sketch of it, and the cane leaning against it, beforehand. Jill tells Alice that someone was killed in her backyard, most likely by the former landowners. The spirit that was born of this crime is malevolent and wants to burn the house down. Jill determines this through recurring visions of fire, and when she says this, the fire alarms give off a solitary loud beep. From here, we cut to an interview with the town record keeper, Mary. She tells of a history of fires that led to the destruction of the town and most of the records before that time. Because of this, there are no records of who owned Alice’s land before her.

Alice’s neighbor, Erin, has sensed something in the backyard since she was a child and was convinced a body was buried there. The team has Erin walk the grounds at night to locate where she thinks the body would be buried. Once they have found the spot, they conduct an EVP session, resulting in a loud thump and a rustling in the bushes. Erin soon after leaves the location, as she begins to feel sick for no reason, and it is all she can do to keep from vomiting. The following day, they call in a cadaver dog team to investigate the suspected grave. The dog shows a slight interest in the indicated area, but they cannot pinpoint an exact spot, as certain trees may have grown on a dead man as nourishment. The dog’s owner suggests investigating if there was a cemetery at one point and if the bodies were moved, but this proves futile, due to there being no surviving records of Alice’s land. 

From here, the film begins to close out with Steve asking Alice what it would take for her to start sleeping in her house again, for which she answers that she would not do so if she lived alone. She appreciates everything the team has done for her. Each member expresses a fondness for one another after spending so much time together under Alice’s roof. The crew was just about packed and ready to leave, when captions came on the screen explaining that the house wasn’t ready to let them go just yet. First, the ball rolls down the stairs again, as one of the directors was the only one in the house. Everyone races back inside and scrambles to see the footage. This was the only recorded occurrence of the ball moving while no one else was around. They are all then left shocked when they hear a door open and close on its own. The door itself is not in view of a camera. They only see it later in a distorted reflection in the ball of a chandelier, and there is noted to have not been a breeze on this day to move the door like this. From here, with nothing else to do, they invite a priest over to bless the house for Alice, and the movie ends. 

In my final thoughts on this film, I don’t think it accomplished what I think it was meant to. With the tests they did and John’s goal at the start of the film of wanting to capture easy to view footage of a haunting, I got the impression that they wanted to prove that ghosts are real. Because of this notion, I thought I would finish this movie with no skepticism about the subject. However, I don’t think they did everything they could to try and convince me, as the viewer, that everything was happening as they said it was. I believe if you’re trying to capture evidence of a ghost in a house, then you need more cameras than they had. Or you at least need to place them better. For example, I thought the light under the door witnessed by John was a missed opportunity to capture something special, but they didn’t have a camera facing either side of the door so they could see the light. The same thing can be said about the door opening at the end of the film, as well as for the strange noise they heard that led to a gun being drawn. They knew things like this were happening before entering the house, and yet didn’t set their equipment up well enough so as not to miss anything. It seemed downright sloppy to me. 

I found the test result for the ball’s movement and the lights to be interesting. I imagine others will say they used trickery to move the ball and turn the lights on, but I would also imagine they aren’t going into this film with an open mind. I did feel disappointed that they didn’t do more in the backyard. The dog didn’t indicate too large of a section where a body could be, and I don’t get why they didn’t try and dig it up. It was suggested they look for old records, and that was it. If Alice was terrified of the house, and brought an entire crew into her home to help her, then I don’t see why she or anyone else wouldn’t suggest digging up the spot. At worst, they just wasted a few hours digging. Instead, they jump back to the record keeper, and there so happens to be no records, which is the only other real evidence of a body being in the backyard they would have had. Because of this, I am still skeptical about the authenticity of these events.

Furthermore, as far as I can tell, nothing has been resolved. No epilogue or narrative says Alice’s house is no longer haunted, even after the blessing from a priest. Everyone just seemed to pack up their things and leave. This documentary may be thought-provoking, but I do not recommend it. I found too many holes, and I don’t see it as scary, interesting, or educational.
