About this episode
A family begins experiencing eerie disturbances after a relative with a fascination for the occult moves out. Shadows creep along the walls, disembodied voices call out names, and an unsettling object refuses to stay discarded. What starts as strange noises quickly turns into something far more sinister, leaving one question—did something dark stay behind?
