About this episode

Shirley Jackson's The Haunting of Hill House has been hailed as "the greatest haunted-house story ever written." The house itself is vile. It's dark and impossible to navigate. It's dripping with blood. So why are four people trying to spend their summer there?!?

This week's paranormal activity is brought to you in part by the fine website wizards at Squarespace.
