With the exception of the poor central heating system, Ray and Penny Burns' newly-purchased country house seems ideal. While repairing the pipes, a handyman digs up the cellar and uncovers the body of the home's previous owner who was murdered twenty years earlier. A séance held in the home reveals something very disturbing. —L. Hamre

Short filmTranscript
00:00:30There were emotional scenes today in Washington when General Eisenhower made his inaugural
00:00:37address as the newly elected President of the United States, the General known and respected
00:00:43on this side of the Atlantic as the very able Supreme Commander of the Allied Forces in
00:00:48Europe.
00:01:49It's a bit neglected, I admit, but nobody's lived in it for two years or more.
00:02:14That's the fault of the owner.
00:02:15He bought it ten years ago and then got posted abroad.
00:02:18Since then, he's insisted on trying to rent the place out.
00:02:21All that time, I've been telling him, people who can afford to rent a house like this can
00:02:25afford to buy.
00:02:26I finally persuaded him to put it on the open market.
00:02:30I'm very glad you did.
00:02:32You like the house, then?
00:02:34Very much.
00:02:35Is it too soon to talk about contracts?
00:02:38One last hurdle to overcome.
00:02:39Penny!
00:02:40Penny?
00:02:41What do you think?
00:02:53You want to, don't you?
00:02:54Well, you know, I've always wanted to live in an area like this.
00:02:57Oh, darling, be a perfect den to a perfect honeymoon.
00:03:01And I did promise to obey.
00:03:03You can go ahead, fix the deal.
00:03:07It's going to be great, spacious, a bit run down, needs redecorating, of course, but the
00:03:13fabric of the building is sound and it's got atmosphere.
00:03:16You have to admit, it's got atmosphere.
00:03:18Yes.
00:03:19I must say, you've done wonders in such a short space of time, Mrs. Burns.
00:03:41Oh, wonders.
00:03:46We decided to keep this colour scheme.
00:03:47It's cleaned up very well.
00:03:48Well, it's sort of in character with the house.
00:03:53Yes, it's funny how bricks and mortar can be altered by, well, people.
00:04:02The house is quite different again.
00:04:05But you said you had a problem.
00:04:06Oh, yes, the central heating.
00:04:08It's not working very well.
00:04:09It's something to do with the layout and the pipes.
00:04:10Mr. Filson?
00:04:12Could you come up here a moment, please?
00:04:38Mr. Filson.
00:04:39This is Mr. Kenwich.
00:04:40Mr. Filson.
00:04:41Oh, so you know each other.
00:04:42We all know Filson round here.
00:04:43What's the trouble?
00:04:44The pipes.
00:04:45What about them?
00:04:46I can't find them.
00:04:47Why?
00:04:48Because somebody cemented them over, that's why.
00:04:49Main pipes from the boiler cemented over.
00:04:50I'm having to rely on memory.
00:04:51Well, you installed the system, didn't you?
00:04:52Oh, I, but there were more than, no more than that.
00:04:53More than 20 years ago now, while Miss Millington was here.
00:04:54Poor Miss Millington.
00:04:55Having to dig up the floor again to find them.
00:04:56Dig it up.
00:04:57That's the problem.
00:04:58I can't find them.
00:04:59Why?
00:05:00Because somebody cemented them over.
00:05:01That's why.
00:05:02Main pipes from the boiler cemented over.
00:05:03I'm having to rely on memory.
00:05:05Poor Miss Millington.
00:05:06Having to dig up the floor again to find them.
00:05:07Dig it up.
00:05:08That's a bit drastic, isn't it?
00:05:09There's no need to.
00:05:10Look, I presume you know your job, Mr. Killett.
00:05:11You presume I know mine.
00:05:12I get the impression that you and Filson don't get along.
00:05:13He's a troublemaker.
00:05:14A gossip.
00:05:15Well, I must be on my way.
00:05:16Congratulations again.
00:05:17You've done marvellous.
00:05:40Mr. Filson.
00:05:42Who was Miss Millington?
00:05:44A woman who once lived here.
00:05:48But you said poor Miss Millington.
00:05:49Why?
00:05:50Because she disappeared.
00:05:51That's why.
00:05:52One day she was here, the next gone.
00:05:53Killett reckoned she ran away with a man.
00:05:54But me, I say she disappeared.
00:05:55Miss Millington!
00:05:56Miss Millington!
00:05:57Miss Millington!
00:05:58Miss Millington!
00:05:59Miss Millington!
00:06:00Miss Millington!
00:06:01Miss Millington!
00:06:02she disappeared. but where to? that's anybody's guess.
00:06:24Ray?
00:06:32I'm sorry.
00:06:46Ray darling?
00:07:02oh darling how's my little girl been? oh I didn't hear you come in. came in the back
00:07:19door. got a new lawnmower. dropped it off in the shed. it was you then. what?
00:07:25whistling. it was you whistling. whistling? no. but it must have been. it was you.
00:07:33I haven't whistled all day. do you think I am a kettle of me? I heard you just a minute ago.
00:07:39in here. darling I wasn't. but you were whistling a tune. it was
00:07:47green sleeves. it's for your imagination. trick of the wind or something. come on
00:07:54what's for supper?
00:09:17whistling.
00:09:27Ray.
00:09:29Ray.
00:09:31there was a scream.
00:09:35just now.
00:09:37somebody screamed.
00:09:39it was terrifying.
00:09:41somebody screamed?
00:09:43yes.
00:09:46who? where? downstairs. outside perhaps. it sounded like a woman or
00:09:53Ray there's something terribly wrong. a scream? yes.
00:09:59all right
00:10:09you'll never look around. I feel like a third of a cartoon.
00:11:28well?
00:11:30I did hear a scream.
00:11:40it was an owl.
00:11:44I was just about to make a meal.
00:11:46found him cowering under the woodpile.
00:11:48is it all right?
00:11:50I was just about to make a meal.
00:11:52found him cowering under the woodpile.
00:11:54is it all right?

00:14:04Elizabeth Millington.
00:14:06she occupied this house from 1947
00:14:08to 1953
00:14:10and then disappeared.
00:14:12there wasn't inquiry at the time.
00:14:14nobody thought to dig up to sell a floor?
00:14:16not even the police go smashing up other people's houses.
00:14:18not unless there's a very strong reason.
00:14:20murder wasn't suspected then?
00:14:22no of course all this was before my time
00:14:24but apparently this Millington woman
00:14:26was a bit of an eccentric.
00:14:28liable to get up and go at a moment's notice
00:14:30and she was supposed to be wealthy enough to be able to do so.
00:14:34probably why she was murdered.
00:14:36living alone with a local reputation
00:14:38for having money in the house.
00:14:41I'm afraid my men are going to make quite a mess of your cellar.
00:14:44well the whole floor's got to come up.
00:14:46we were planning on that anyway so you're just saving us a job.
00:14:48yes that's lucky.
00:14:50for us I mean. otherwise the cellar
00:14:52might have gone undisturbed for years yet.
00:14:54no.
00:14:56no she wanted to be found.
00:14:58she screamed out for it.
00:15:00my wife is highly imaginative
00:15:02and this business is hardly good on the nose.
00:15:04no well we were trying
00:15:06to get over with as soon as possible.
00:15:08thanks for cooperating.
00:15:10be an empty kind of investigation though.
00:15:12we're not likely to catch up on the killer now.
00:15:14not after all these years.
00:15:16yes you will.
00:15:18what do you mean mrs. Burns?
00:15:22I don't know.
00:15:24I don't know.
00:15:54I'm sorry.
00:16:24Ray!
00:16:26Ray!
00:16:30oh darling!
00:16:32what is it?
00:16:34what is it?
00:16:36I don't want another scream.
00:16:38he's here.
00:16:40he's come back.
00:16:42what are you talking about?
00:16:44the killer is in the house. I can feel it.
00:16:46oh come on look Penny darling.
00:16:48I love you very dearly but this has gone far enough.
00:16:50he's downstairs.
00:16:52the scullery.
00:16:54all right.
00:17:00clear this up once and for all.
00:17:02come on.
00:17:04come on.
00:17:06we are going down to the scullery
00:17:08and every other room in this house
00:17:10until you are absolutely certain
00:17:12that there is nobody there
00:17:14and then perhaps we can both get some sleep.
00:17:16now come on.
00:17:18come on.
00:17:22come on.
00:17:28come on.
00:17:30nothing.
00:17:38you are not in there mr. Murdoch.
00:17:40I am.
00:17:42nothing.
00:17:52no one there.
00:17:56now the dreaded scullery.
00:18:02come on.
00:18:04come on.
00:18:06now look.
00:18:09he was here.
00:18:11he came back.
00:18:17don't you see?
00:18:19don't you see?
00:18:21he never found the money.
00:18:23he's still looking for it.
00:18:26what baffles me mr. Burns is why now?
00:18:28this house has been on my books for years.
00:18:30I've let it a dozen times.
00:18:32why even sold it to miss Millington in the first place?
00:18:34and there's never been any hint of a
00:18:36ghost or any kind of psychic phenomenon
00:18:38in all that time.
00:18:40talk as though you believe that rubbish.
00:18:42I don't.
00:18:44and yet I do.
00:18:46dealing in property especially in an area like this
00:18:48full of old houses with lots of history
00:18:50I've come across things
00:18:52I haven't been able to explain
00:18:54but never hear never a whisper of it here.
00:18:56put that down to my wife.
00:18:58she's psychic is that what you mean?
00:19:00she's got a runaway imagination
00:19:02that's what I mean.
00:19:04if you don't believe in it why all this tonight?
00:19:06I'm humoring her.
00:19:08also you can put it down to vanity.
00:19:10I like this house Kellett.
00:19:12I always wanted it.
00:19:14or something like it.
00:19:16I remember when I was
00:19:18just a salesman
00:19:20stopped my car very often
00:19:22looked down on an area like this
00:19:24full of grand houses surrounded by space
00:19:26and I swore to myself that one day
00:19:28I would own a place like it.
00:19:30and now that I do
00:19:32no darn myth or ghost
00:19:34or whatever is gonna
00:19:36drive me out of it.
00:19:40that's why I'm going along with this idea of Penny's
00:19:42but believe in it.
00:19:44Ray
00:19:46this is mrs. Rafty.
00:19:48this is my husband Ray and mr. Kellett.

00:30:58Filson he had a key

00:31:05he used a key he crept in here last night
00:31:07and took absolutely nothing
00:31:10I know
00:31:12maybe he's working off a grudge of some kind
00:31:14just vandalism

00:31:21get away from here before something worse happens
00:31:23we are not leaving
00:31:24you may not be but I am
00:31:25and I'm going to do something about it now
00:31:27no
00:31:28Penny
00:31:29there's more to a house than bricks and mortar
00:31:32there's an atmosphere an ambience
00:31:34and if that's wrong the people in it are wrong
00:31:37I vote we phone Kellett
00:31:38get him over here at once
00:31:40see if we can't cut our losses
00:31:41and find somewhere else in the area a bit more suitable
00:31:44fortunately we haven't spent much on making it good
00:31:47ah
00:31:59oh god
00:32:02I wanted to kill you
00:32:05just for a moment
00:32:11Penny
00:32:15darling
00:32:16I'm just blacked out
00:32:18it wasn't me
00:32:19it was this house
00:32:21there is something
00:32:22there's an influence
00:32:24that's why we've got to sell this house
00:32:26get away from here
00:32:27no no
00:32:28yes I agree with you
00:32:30there is something about this place but
00:32:32oh for pity's sake
00:32:34we're adults and intelligent I hope
00:32:36whatever it is
00:32:38we must face it
00:32:39meet it
00:32:40drive it out
00:32:41Penny please please
00:32:43I don't want to run
00:32:45don't make me do that
00:32:48whatever it is
00:32:51it can't be stronger than us can it
00:32:55I mean what we mean to each other
00:33:03so that's what we've decided
00:33:05we're going to stay here and see it through
00:33:09oh Ray's quite right
00:33:11I've been getting too hysterical about the whole thing
00:33:15what was needed was a cold clear clinical look at things
00:33:20there's just one thing that I have to be sure about
00:33:24his body isn't hidden somewhere in the house
00:33:27I mean you'd know if it was
00:33:29I don't follow you
00:33:30body
00:33:31the man
00:33:32the man who killed Elizabeth Millington
00:33:34wherever he's buried
00:33:36what makes you think he's dead
00:33:38but you contacted his soul
00:33:40the soul exists in the dead and the living mrs. Burns
00:33:42I made contact yes but
00:33:44what with I'm not sure
00:33:46him
00:33:47his mind his spirit
00:33:49perhaps just his evil influence
00:33:51or perhaps only the memory of that terrible incident
00:33:54that still lingers in this house
00:33:56you must have had a favorite place as a child
00:33:59a hideaway a picnic spot perhaps
00:34:01and when you return there
00:34:03those long-past incidents still remain
00:34:06so vivid you can almost hear the childish laughter
00:34:09or like a painter who captures a mood or a scene and then moves on
00:34:12yet wherever that picture is hung
00:34:14whoever sees it
00:34:15the influence remains sharp and fresh
00:34:18just oils and canvas can evoke that mrs. Burns
00:34:22and we are dealing with more than oils and canvas
00:34:26I've disturbed you unnecessarily
00:34:28unnecessarily?
00:34:29you talked so much I had no chance to tell you
00:34:31the moment I walked through that door I knew he'd gone
00:34:34what?
00:34:35I can promise you mrs. Burns that he is no longer in this house
00:34:47hello mrs. Routley
00:34:50how did I?
00:34:55you're looking very pale. I thought you'd seen a ghost or something
00:34:59sorry it was a joke
00:35:01very bad taste I'm afraid
00:35:03I hope you've been saying comforting things to my wife
00:35:05she has
00:35:06we're free Ray
00:35:08I was always there
00:35:09no of him
00:35:10he's gone
00:35:11vanished isn't that right?
00:35:14oh yes
00:35:16yes well I must be going
00:35:19mr. Burns
00:35:21mr. Routley
00:35:23bye

00:38:27help yourself
00:38:41I've got over it now
00:38:55two days ago I wouldn't have dared go this far
00:38:58this morning I came right down to the bottom without a qualm
00:39:01I suppose it's logic taking precedence over superstition
00:39:04not superstition
00:39:06he's not still here is he?
00:39:08no
00:39:11no not at the moment

00:39:33how did you know?
00:39:35felt it
00:39:37or as a cold-blooded scientist might say
00:39:39I perceived your excitement
00:39:41all right what's Ray giving me?
00:39:43I'm not sure
00:39:45then I'm one up on you
00:39:47it's a ring a big antique ring
00:39:49oh no I don't think so
00:39:51yes it is

00:39:59big antique ring
00:40:01hmm

00:40:05oh I glanced at it
00:40:07great impending world war three
00:40:09and the latest government crisis
00:40:11and turned straight to the women's page
00:40:13did you skip this?
00:40:17the murder which took place about 20 miles from here
00:40:22how awful
00:40:24poor woman
00:40:26you were asleep at the time
00:40:28what?
00:40:29well they say it must have happened soon after midnight
00:40:31you would have been asleep at the time
00:40:33yes
00:40:34and your husband?
00:40:36he was asleep too
00:40:38of course he doesn't work nights you know
00:40:41what's bothering you?
00:40:45I wish I knew
00:40:47I work entirely upon instinct
00:40:49you know feelings
00:40:51this morning I woke up
00:40:53I took the paper and it opened at this page
00:40:56she was killed with a knife
00:40:58there were certain items missing
00:41:00silver jewelry
00:41:03rings
00:41:07are you sure you wouldn't like some coffee?
00:41:12I don't know what's bothering me mrs. Burns
00:41:16unless it's guilt
00:41:18guilt about what?
00:41:20having brought something back
00:41:22released some power
00:41:26this murder
00:41:28it's awfully like the other one
00:41:30look it's usually you having to reassure me
00:41:33there can't be any connection now can there?
00:41:39no
00:41:41no of course not
00:41:45I should know better than to bring my depressions to you
00:41:47it isn't fair
00:41:49anytime but I honestly don't know what you're on about
00:41:52that about sums me up
00:41:54thanks anyway
00:41:58it's not a ring it's something sharp
00:42:00pointed
00:42:02for blood
00:42:04blood

00:52:31it's not possible
00:52:33I'm very much afraid it is
00:52:35Mr Burns
00:52:37and it's my stupid meddling fault
00:52:39that's why I'm here
00:52:41I'd like the chance to undo
00:52:43what I brought about
00:52:45it's not me it can't be me
00:52:47no no not you Mr Burns
00:52:49think of it as him
00:52:51X the unknown
00:52:53you are have been possessed Mr Burns
00:52:55skepticism spreads across your face
00:52:57like a blush
00:52:59and yet in medieval times
00:53:01as late as the 18th century
00:53:03that possession would not have raised an eyebrow
00:53:05I have much to rectify Mr Burns
00:53:11I never make the same mistake twice
00:53:13and my initial mistake
00:53:15was not to begin at the beginning
00:53:17down there
00:53:21if you please Mr Burns
00:53:29opposite way
00:53:51opposite way
00:54:00now you understand what I must do
00:54:03I'm not sure
00:54:05it's important that you are sure
00:54:09something lives within you Mr Burns
00:54:11drives you
00:54:13I must take that burden from you
00:54:15place it upon my own shoulders
00:54:17and with it leave this house forever
00:54:21you understand now

01:02:55I went to Chelsea today
01:02:57where?
01:02:59to King's Close Chelsea
01:03:01I never realised before
01:03:03King's Close backs on to where you used to have your apartment
01:03:0512 years ago there was a murder there
01:03:07a rich lonely old woman was stabbed to death
01:03:09the killer got away with jewellery and money
01:03:11lots of money Ray
01:03:1312 years ago
01:03:15about the time
01:03:17when you started to do really well
01:03:19about the time you were able to finance
01:03:21your own business
01:03:23what are you saying?
01:03:25you killed that woman Ray
01:03:27no!
01:03:31it's not true I won't have it
01:03:33you mean your mind won't have it you tried to blot it out
01:03:35it's too painful to look at so you tried to blot it out
01:03:37like Elizabeth Millington
01:03:39you aren't possessed
01:03:41the only evil presence in this house is you
01:03:43it was always you
01:03:45now listen to me
01:03:4720 years ago you killed Elizabeth Millington
01:03:49and something in your subconscious
01:03:51something perhaps that
01:03:53even you don't understand
