Not in the dining room. I unpacked every single box. And vanished.
I can't find it.
We'll find it.
Dalton. Honey, where are you?
Stay here. Foster, stay with your sister.

You got to be careful,alright?
Good night, sweetty.
So, you putting boxes away upstairs?
Don't Josh.
I just hate feeling helpless. Sorry.
I'll figure out a way to look the door.
It's dangerous otherwise. Maybe we should put him on a child leash.
Stopping to pet store tomorrow.
Sorry I did so badly.
- Didn't notice. - I tried...
Did some work today Cali woke up after half hour and...
she wouldn't go back down.
I still did't get anything done.
I just.. Want things to be different in this house.
i feel bad damn scared nothings gonna change.
It will, I promise you.
We just gotta get the time.
Thanks for letting me take some time for my music.
Come on, I wanted you to do it.
You got a couple of good songs, I mean, not all of them,but i think...
but a few can still do something.
- I love all your songs. - Shut up, you do know....
What's song your favourite?
Sing a song about me.
- They are all about you. - Yeah, about how cool I am.
- His the coolest guy... - No, no.
Cali You're awake. - So many muscles.
You 'r awake.
Foster , can you please eat your eggs, please?
Can you go wake up Dalton, Josh?
Sleepyhead, get up.
Sleepyhead, you better get up off that bed or your mother gonna kill us both.
Dalton, come on buddy you got to get ready for school.
Dalton.
There is no brain damage that we've detected.
Technically yes, his in a coma.
He doesn't react to stimulus he has no sleep-wake cycle...
but there is no brain trauma or infection. The scans are all normal.
Be honest, I've never seen anything like it.
But he can't just listen up? wake up? i mean...
There's got to be something.
I'm sorry.
So, what do we do? We stay here or...
We'll conduct further testing. It's only been a couple of days. It can take a little longer.
Excuse me, but i have to step up I'll be back in just a moment.
Dr. Sercarz, how long will the test take?
Okay so, what I've done here is I've inserted a nasogastric feeding tube.
To get the length of the tube that i'm gonna need I measure from the nose...
To the earlobe and then down to the cycle part.
Then I usually mark that off with some tape.
And then I need to lubricate the end of the tube that i'm going to thrust about four inches.
And then I just slide in it like that. I have to make sure the end of the tube is curve or a little bent.
Bend it slightly.
And then I usually hold it into place with some surgical tape.
If there's any problems or inconveniences Just call.....
I must get out. I want it.
I want it, now!
- What's this? - An award.
But it's todays date. Did you get this today?
Honey, why didn't you tell us?
I know it's hard right now, but...
things are going to get better. I Promise.
Let me show this to your dad. It's fantastic.
I'm scared, Mom.
Scared of what?
Dalton. Can I change rooms?
Why would you want to change rooms?
I don't like playing box around that night.
There's something strange happened to me today.
What?
I heard this noise coming from Cali's room.
It was on the baby monitor. Voices. and then i run up here, have a look. but there was no one there,
Probably just,interference this things always picking up something else.
I dunno. It sounded so clear. Whispering...
Scare the hell out of me.
I was at the piano and I could hear it at the monitor. And I turned up the volume, and...
What the hell was that?
Stay here.
Who is it?
Hello?
Oh my God! Josh!
There's someone is in Cali's room.
There. I saw somebody.
He was standing right there.
- There's nobody here. - I saw someone.
Take her, get foster to Dalton's room.
- What's going on? - The alarm got off.
Thanks.
See you tomorrow.
Hey honey, It's me.
Dane just told me I got to ee.. I got to stay late tonight. I got to grade some test.
So it gonna be a while.
You don't have to wait up okay. I'll be home as soon as i can.
He did he respond to ee.. any of this new test?
No, no he didn't.
But we have to give it time.
I've seen coma patients with a much longer inactivity time and start making noises.
He's not in a coma.
I don't know what to call it.
I don't know what to do with him.
Have they just given up?
As if the universe wants to see how far I can bend before It break.
then the universe pick a fight with the wrong chick.
It's okay. I got it.
Thank you.
Josh, where are you? I need you to come home now.
Please.
It's ten thirty.
You've been coming home late every single night.
All the years you worked at school, Why all a sudden are you staying back late?
You know, i don't like it either. All these freaking test.
What choice do I have? I got to pay Dalton's bills.
I'm so scared.
I'm scared, his my son too.
You don't understand. I'm scared for Dalton.
I scared of this house.
There's something wrong with this place. I'm not imagining it, i can feel it.
It's like a sickness. Everything since we moved everything just...
gone wrong.
- You think our house is haunted? - I don't think it, I know it.
Things move aroud here by themselves.
I walk in the kitchen at night to get a drink, I can feel eyes on me.
I can't be in there alone anymore.
I need you.
But you're never here. Where are you?
I told you I was grading test.
It's not what i mean. You're not here with me in this situation.
You're just avoiding it.
Like everything stressfull. This or parking fines.
Stop saying that. I don't avoid this whole situation, i'm just getting it with my own fucking way.
Well then, deal with this.
- What happen? - There is someone there.
It was right there, I swear.
His there, you gotta believe me.
Please believe me. I swear he was right there.
I do believe you, i just dunno what you want me to do?
I want to leave, please. I want to leave this house. I can't spend another night here, Please.
Please, help me.
We're gone.
Lorraine,please, you don't have to do any of this. Sit down.
I'm perfectly capable of putting a few things away. I did it for Josh this whole night.
I know, but I feel terrible.
I think it's ee.. you who should be sitting down by the rest of it.
I can't believe you got Josh to hold still for a photo.
I can't believe that we are doing this all over again.
Ridiculous.
You must think i'm crazy.
Nobody,not me or anybody, knows what you're going through right now.
Whatever you have to do to get through it, do it.
And you don't have to apologize for anything.
Thank you.
Have faith. Trust.
This is some kind of a joke, right? A guy comes home and finds his wife with a priest?
This is Leon Martin. He is actually a very old friend of mine.
- This is my husband, Josh. - What's going on here?
I should be going. Thank you so much for the tea.
This thing from the other house...
has followed us here. I saw...
something today. I thought it was a little boy.
I followed it into Daltons room, but it wasn't a child.
It was something else.
So what? you just brought a priest in and get rid of it?
- I didn't know what else to do Josh. - Come on, Renai.
When was the last time you went to church?
What's happening to Renai is real.
I've seen it for myself.
I came today because last night I had a dream about this place.
I was in this house, but it was late at night.
I was afraid.
I went into your bedroom but you were both asleep.
I knew I was asleep in the dream, but...
I could feel that someone was awake in the house.
I went into Daltons room.
There was something in there with him.
It was standing there in the corner.
I asked it : Who are you? And it says it was a visitor.
I said : What you want?
It said Dalton.
I can still hear that voice.
- What? - It's here.
- He's okay. - Please, help him.
I know someone who can help.
If you're willing to ask.
I'm Specs, this is Tucker.
You must be Josh?
That wasn't psychic. Elise already told me your name.
- Where is Elise? - She said go ahead and do some preliminary test.
Helps sweep up the nut jobs.
- What is that? - A 'Trifle meter. Measure the magnetic field...
and the natural electromagnetic environment.
Yes, sometimes old wiring can loosen to the atmosphere...
and cause hallucinations changes in energy.
It is more important than that, but whatever.
That's all nothing to you out. - They are really off.
What?
Star Fleet series 1.
Hard to find. You should have kept it in the box.
This device measures changes in UV light.
I make all this equipment myself you know.
- Impressive. - Thanks.
It's not that hard if you know what you're doing.
Yeah,that's basically a modified toy.
I might need some time alone to concentrate.
- That has to do with... - We can call Elise.
Now.
I wasn't sure the doorbell was working.
- Come on in. - Thank you.
- Mrs. Rainier? - No, Mrs. Rainier is my mother. Just call me Elise.
- I'm Josh. - I knew that.
You've grown since I last saw you.
Since you last saw me?
Your mother and I have been friends for a long time.
Well, Hellooo...
- How are you doing? - Hi, Thank you for coming.
- You're welcome. - Can you get you anything?
Oh no, I'm fine, thank you so much.
We took the trifle and did math readings of the whole house. All the wiring, alarm clocks...
radios, toasters, TV.
- Player fuse box. Nothing. - And the previous home?
Tucker hadn't monitor that yet.You know what? Don't even sweat it, I'll make myself available. I'll get on that....
Me too, because whose gonna operate the equipment?
Strictly i can't do it without you, But i need to...
That's fine , gentlemen.
I don't think bad wiring is the problem here.
Can I walk through the house?
- Of course. - Thank you.
Your other children are with Lorraine, right?
- Steven, you have your sketchbook? - Yes. yes i do.
Good,cause we're gonna need it.
- Why do you need that for? - She tells me what she sees...
and I draw it. most important part of her process.
- That is.... - Whatever.
Leave the light off.
Hey, Dalton.
You are a very handsome boy.
Your mom and dad are here, so don't you worry.
Trager.
What is it?
What...
I'm not sure if you're ready to hear this yet.
But unfortunately I can't waste any time even if you want to.
I want you to know this is what i believe.
It may contradict with previous medical diagnosis, but...
you called me here and i'm taking that as an acceptance of my reading.
Go on.
Your son isn't in a coma. Falling off a ladder has nothing to do with this.
His physical body is here...
but his spiritual body is not.
And the reason these disturbances they followed you to your new home...
It's because it's not the house that's haunted...
It's your son.
I don't understand.
Have you ever heard of astral projection?
Yes, out of body experience, or something?
Well, I like to call them travelers.
You see, these are people with the ability to leave their physical body...
and to travel to different places in astral form.
Now Dalton, he is a very accomplished astral projector.
He's been doing it in his sleep for a long time.
Since he was very young.
And he's not afraid because he thinks they are dreams.
And that very lack of fear that has led him to travel too far.
- And to become lost. - Lost?
Lost where?
In a place that I call "The Further".
What does that mean?
The Further is a world far beyond our own.
It is all around us, a place without time, as we know it.
It's a dark realm filled with tortured souls of the dead.
A place not meant for the living.
That's where Dalton is.
And the problem is that with the astral body gone he just left us with a physical body and an empty vessel.
The dark entities know this because they can smell it.
That's why, they gathered around.
Are these the things that I've been seeing?
They are all trying to get inside his physical body simply because they...
crave life. The chance to live again.
But there are other entities, more malevolent.
And have a more insidious agenda.
And then there is this:
A demon who seeks Daltons body for one reason.
To cause pain to others.
He is so desperate to possess Dalton his the closest of all the entities to getting inside of him.
What do you mean the closest?
Because these entities they can't just walk into the bodies of the living anytime they please.
To cross over from their realm it takes time,it takes energy.
But the longer that Daltons astral body...
is kept away from his physical body, the weaker the link gets.
The easier it is to possess him.
Is there anything we can do to bring Dalton back?
There's something we could try.
It's a little unorthodox...
but I would need your complete trust.
- No, sorry. This have gone too far. - Please, Josh.
- You said you would give her a chance. - I have given her a chance honey.
But I can't have somebody coming into our home and telling us that the reason that our son is in coma is...
because his soul has floated off somewhere in another dimension.
We get to bring her all the way here and you're not even considering what she is saying?
I did this to make sure you could feel at ease. And if it helps, great.
Listened to the dogs in cony shell. I have seen the drawings...
- But to bring Dalton into it? No. - Why Dalton's still in coma? Why can't the doctors tell us what is wrong with him?
Why is the voice of reason become the bad guy here.
- Don't you see Renai, you want to believe. - You don't believe me.
I moved houses for you, what do you mean i don't believe you?
I'm on your side here.
But this.... This is dangerous, and exploitative.
You guys come into the home of a seriously ill child and you make some tenuous connection...
between him and the images my wife is seeing and wahh...
Tears value your power. Thank you very much, that will be 600$ please.
- Thank you. - No, I really understand.
Thank you for your hospitality. Good luck.
Sorry wasted your time.
Where are you, buddy?
Did you go somewhere?
No.
You are right here.
Can you hear me?
I know you can hear me but you got to show me okay buddy.
You got to show me that you can hear me.
LAST NIGHT I wATCHED MYSELF SLEEP
THEN I FLEW AWAY
Okay.
What's most important, that you realize that no two attempts are the same.
I'm gonna be completely honest to you about the results. If there's no dialogue establish, i'm gonna tell you.
These two cameras are raped to pick up any changes in the atmosphere...
both electrical or temperature wise.
Don't be alarmed if they go off.
You're gonna see a lot of confusing things, things you don't understand.
But do not question and do not speak in any way.
I want you to know whatever i say, when i'm in tune it's gonna be a very low volume you won't hear any of it.
Steven gonna write it down. He's gonna repeat it for you.
Dim the lights, please.
We are calling out to you, Dalton.
Tell us you're safe. Tell us where you are.
Dalton, can you hear us?
Answer us.
- Who's there? - Mother, Father, Foster and Cali.
Dalton, it's your mother and father.
We've been searching for you.
Where are you?
I see nothing...
I can't see in here.
Dalton, you don't need to see.
Follow my voice.
Follow my voice, Dalton.
Dalton, why aren't you.. Why aren't you talking anymore?
If they hear me, they will hurt me.
Who will hurt you, Dalton?
A man...
with fire...
..on his face.
Dalton, can you find you're way out?
There is no way out.
Follow my voice, Dalton.
Follow my voice.
Be quiet. They'll hear you.
They won't hear me Dalton. Follow my voice.
They will hurt you.
Oh god, mommy and daddy.
Help.
Bitch.
Leave this vessel!
Leaves his body.
Tucker, turn on the lights. Leave his body now!
Son.
He's alive.
Three cameras.
We got nothing.
But we did find someone in this video. Take a Look.
Take a look.
See that?
I went through it.. frame...
..by frame...
Oh my God.
- Who is that? - I'll get it.
Mom, what are you doing here?
I asked your mother to come over. I called her immediately after the session.
- Why? - There's something we must talk about.
Lorraine, sit.
Go on. Tell him.
Tell me what mom?
The reason I knew to call Elise in this situation...
The reason I know her so well...
is because I called her myself once years ago.
To help you.
What are you talking about, Mom?
It's no accident that your son is a gifted traveler.
- The ability was handed down to him... - By his father.
Me?
No, I can't do that.
When you were about eight, you suffered night terrors.
Seizures of fear.
You were terrified of an old woman you said who use to visit you at night.
I dismissed your stories. I told you to grow up.
And then I saw her for myself.
At first I thought it was a camera problem.
And then I saw her again.
In each photo, she got closer...
and closer...
and closer to you.
Finally I was so frightened, I found Elise.
Do you remember her or any of this , Honey? Do you?
No. I don't.
Suppressing your memory and your ability to astral project...
was the only way to stop her from getting into you.
But in the back of your mind...
you're still afraid to have your picture taken, aren't you?
I've kept those photo hidden from you ever since.
I advice Lorraine to hide them.
Stop taking your picture. To just let you forget.
- Who is she? - A parasite.
She befriended your astral body..
And then, drew you out into "The Further" just as Dalton had been drawn out.
I so sorry, Josh.
I didn't want to make you remember all this. I do it for the sake of your son.
Your son is out there.
And you are the only one that can bring him back.
And from what we saw tonight, I would say he doesn't have much time left to wait for you.
You're always talked with me. You can do this.
- I love you. - I love you.
Please come back.
Remember why you're travelling.
And keep one foot in this world. Do not draw attention to yourself.
If they realize you are not one of them...
they will come for your physical body in this world.
- Are you ready? - Yes.
I don't know what I'm ready for.
Close your eyes, Josh. Take a deep breath and relax.
With each breath, let the life around you fade into the background.
Just listen to the ticking of the metronome.
Focus on the spot in the center of your forehead.
The universe is desolate.
It's desolate because having no finite state, it stays infinite.
A sound man by not attempting himself...
stays "The Further" ahead of himself.
It's useless. I have no idea what I'm doing.
Now you're outside.
Let my voice be your guide.
Keep it steady quiet, in "The Further" you go.
He's in.
Wait.
I'm looking for my son, Dalton.
Dalton.
Where is my son?
Tell me where my son is. Please.
What's happening to him?
Help him, Elise, please.
You're stronger than they are, Josh.
You can do something more stronger. you are the one alive.
Get away from me.
- Dalton. - Daddy?
Daddy.
It's okay.
Daddy, I'm chained.
We'll get you out buddy.
Daddy's here.
What?
Look at me, none of this is real. okay? This is not real. Look into my eyes.
None of this is real. We gotta go home. I gotta help me.
He's looking.
Stay with me.
Daddy.
He's made contact.
Grab the light.
He found your son.
- I know it. - Well then, wake him up for god sake.
I can't. He needs to find us.
Please, Elise, do something.
- You must call out to him. - Josh, follow my voice.
Follow my voice, Honey.
Come back to us. Follow my voice, Josh.
Daddy listen, i think it's mommy.
Josh, come back to me. Follow my voice.
Josh, follow my voice.
Follow my voice.
There's something in there. In there. Elise?
- Steven, Lorraine, go check on Dalton. - What?
Go check on Dalton... Go check on Dalton now.
They're crossing over to our world.
Shine the light on Josh.
Come on.
Shine the light on Josh.
You got to call him back.
Josh, come back.
- We have to go. - I'm right behind, you go.
What do you want from me?
I'm not scared of you. I'm not scared of you anymore.
You can get away from me. Get the hell away from me.
Get away from me. Get away from me.
- Leave me alone. - Please.
Come back. Follow my voice.
- Josh, come back. - Get the hell away from me.
Josh, please, come back. Follow my voice.
Please, Josh.
Leave me alone.
I got Dalton. He's awake.
It's Okay.
Dude, I got some amazing shots. If you're gonna write a book...
and my photos are gonna be the main selling point.
Not the main selling point, but they'll definitely be important.
- Pictures worth a thousand words. - Yes, but there are words worth a thousand words too.
- You're really hungry aren't you? - And I'm tired too.
- Are you tired? - Yes. - No, you can't be tired.
You've been asleep for too long. I may not be letting you go sleep again.
You show me a new world.
No, I didn't. You've been there before, remember?
Let's hope I forget again. Guess i don't need this anymore.
- What? - Nothing.
- I want to get rid of this. - Perfect.
Why did you do that?
Why would you do that to me? When you know how i feel about that. Why?
Why?
In fact, you're never going to sleep again. You have to stay awake for the rest of your life.
No.
Why?
You bitch.
- Can you look after him for me? - Sure.
Josh, where are you?
Honey, please. Where are you?
