[SOUND OF RUNNING FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING]

[OMINOUS MUSICc]

You scared me.

What's going on?

Did you open the window?

No.

Are you sure?

No, I mean, yes, I'm sure.

And did you get up earlier?

No.

It's three o'clock in the morning.

Come on, you should go to bed.

Okay.

You okay?

Yeah, just a bit tired.

Yeah, what happened last night?

Well, I think, I don't

know whether I was dreaming

or not, but I kept

hearing these noises outside,

so I was sort of sleepy,

but I came out and checked things,

and then I realized that

the window was open.

So yeah, yeah, I don't know.

I'm pretty sure it was closed before.

Okay.

I think maybe just

being in these walls so much

might not be healthy for

a mental headspace, maybe.

As well, it might be a good idea,

maybe just to have a break, you know,

just take a break today,

and then just see how things go.

Because yeah, last night,

that didn't seem too good.

I'm worried for you.

Yeah, I'll go and do

something today, go out.

Hmm.

All right, oh, I better get that.

Okay.

All right.

Just fun at work.

Yeah, right.

Mm-hmm.

I just need you to move your car,

I'm running late for work.

I just can't get my car out.

[LOUD SCREAM]

I haven't forgotten you, dear.

What do you want?

Jesus!

It's you.

Yes, I've just come to get my keys.

You were knocking on the door though.

Why were you knocking so many times?

I only knocked once.

What?

I've been trying to get

a hold of you all this time.

Colleen, you haven't

answered any of my calls.

What's going on?

I don't know, sorry.

I think you need some air.

I think just go for a

walk, clear the mind.

Yeah.

Don't forget your keys.

Or your shoes.

Hey.

Hello.

You okay?

Are you home alone?

Um, yeah.

Really?

Yeah, why?

Are you in the window?

Window.

Yeah, in the door.

Um, come inside.

What?

Come inside.

There's someone in the house with you.

No, there isn't, Em.

No?

No.

Are you sure?

Why?

Because I can see someone in the window.

What window?

Go to the door, the door.

Em, you're dying to freak me out.

There's someone in the house, okay?

Just listen to me, okay?

There's someone in the house.

Em, I'm in the house.

No one is here.

I'm walking around and there's someone.

Em?

Hello?

Are you okay?

I'm fine, everything is fine.

Just come inside, geez.

Okay.

Hey, what's going on?

Look in the fridge.

What's in the fridge?

Look in the fridge.

It's a heart in the fridge.

Look in the freezer as well.

There's a head in the freezer.

There's nothing in the fridge.

Nothing in the freezer.

What?

What's going on?

What are you...

Okay, it's just sleep.

Needs some sleep.

See?

It's okay.

You just need some sleep, right?

Okay

It's been a stressful week.

Okay, come on.

Back off!

What's going on?

I heard you.

You're f*cking messing with my head.

You're messing with my head!

No, I'm not!

Back off!

Move away from me!

Calm down.

No!

It's okay.

You were running down the hallway!

Get away!

Get away!

Leave me alone!

I'm gonna get you some help, okay?

Go away!

Okay, so I'm doing this vlog because some

strange things are

happening in this house

and I wanted to explain it to you guys.

Last night I woke up and I went to bed

normally and I woke up

and I had this like this on

my shirt and I don't know how it got

there and then I was like am I stabbed?

Like did my house make a stab me in the

middle of the night and

then I checked and I was

like I'm in this...

Okay, I'm getting all these weird sounds

and they keep coming

from like over here.

And I swear to God

something's in the house.

And like...

When I went to her

bedroom, she wasn't in the bed.

It was just like pillows in the bed so I

thought she was playing a

practical joke on me like

freaking me out or something and then I

turned around and she's

like hanging there from the

roof, like dead and then I was

like what am I going to do?

I don't know, because I've got

her blood on my shirt, right?

I've got her blood on my shirt.

Then I went outside and I buried her.

And they're probably gonna think it was me.

It's so f*cked up.

Because she's dead, right?

And I didn't do it and

everyone's going to think it was me.

And it wasn't me.

And I'm pretty sure

they're gonna come after me.

So I wanna do this in case

something happens to me.

Message deleted.

There you are.

Thank you.

Do you know what happened to me?

Well, you had a bit of a fall.

It was actually quite spectacular.

It was just suddenly bang,

you were flat on your back.

But you know that cut

on the back of your head

looks a bit nasty.

Thanks for helping me.

It's all right.

But how on earth did you fall like that?

I just tripped over a stick.

Oh?

Are you sure?

Yeah.

Look, I'm gonna be honest with you.

I think you're hiding something.

That house that you're living in,

well, it's just got this weird history,

a horrible history of

weird things happening.

Hmm.

Can you tell me like what things?

Oh.

Look, I really didn't wanna dredge up

all these horrible memories,

but it was a long time ago.

There was this, oh, I think

it was about 20 years ago.

There was this family,

or the people that lived in this house.

Well, they were just weird.

They just kept to themselves.

They were like a cult.

You never saw them coming or going,

except for one girl that

always was the one person

she'd go out and do all the

shopping and run the errands.

She'd never look at you.

She'd just get in the car and go.

She always had sunglasses

on and a hat pulled down

over her face.

And when she walked along,

she'd just be looking at the ground.

She wouldn't look sideways.

She didn't wanna make

eye contact with you.

And I'd wave to her,

but she just ignored me.

And then, then one day,

I refer to it as the event.

I refer to it as 'the event'

She'd gone to the police station and

begged them to help her,

to help her get away from this cult,

get her to a safe place.

But they didn't really believe her.

They just thought she was a loony.

So I guess she left the police station

and went on to do her shopping

because she didn't get back

to the house until much later.

But in the meantime, they must have

thought better of it.

And they sent this young

officer around to check on it.

And oh, that horrible,

horrible man, the leader,

he just denied everything.

He said, "No, it's just a huge, big

extended family living here.

There's nothing wrong."

The girl's the problem.

She's just a troublemaker.

She just wants to have

everything her own way.

And of course, this

young officer just, she left.

And didn't think any more about it.

So the girl, when

she'd done her shopping,

she had no idea, because she didn't know

the police had been here.

She didn't know. She was totally unaware.

And when she got there,

she was just walking

straight into a trap.

That man. He just ordered all the other

members to tie her up.

And that's what they did.

They tied her up and they gagged her.

And then they dragged

her down to the riverbank.

Oh, God, I had...

I didn't want to remember this.

I didn't want to remember this at all.

But then

what they did

did next, doesn't

bare thinking about

was like some sacrificial ritual.

They dragged her down to the

down the garden and

they strung her up

to the palm tree

next to the old, big

gum, and they

they hung her.

They hung her.

And then...

Oh, my God.

Then

it doesn't bear thinking about, but

then they cut her up.

They cut her up into pieces.

And piece by piece they

threw her in the river.

I've never seen anything

so savage in all my life.

Anyway

I was just rooted to the spot.

I was paralysed, I was

horrified and I was frozen.

Luckily, thankfully, the

neighbour on the other side,

she called the police and because

suddenly they were just

flashing blue lights and sirens and,

and then

they were all rounded up.

Everyone from that house.

And the trial just seemed

to go on forever and ever,

but eventually they were all found to be

criminally insane and

thankfully, they were all locked up.

All of them.

Forever.

They did drag the river, but

they never found her body.

It was strange.

Do you know what she looked like?

Look... Oh, yes.

Youngish.

Late 20s.

Slim.

Long, dark hair.

As I said before, she always looked

unhappy and nervous.

There was this kind of tension about her.

Ah I've gotta go.

Are you all right?

Ah!

Ah!

Please just let me go.

It'll all be over soon.

[CREEPY FEMALE VOICE MELODY]

[SCREAMING WOMAN]

Hello?

Please, I'm alone.

I'm from next door.

They're trying to k*ll me.

I know it sounds crazy,

but I need to come in.

No, no, no, no, no, no.

Please, I need to come in.

No, no, no, can't help.

Please I'm not safe.

What am I gonna do?

God.

She's not here.

This is my house.

My house.
