The Legend of Hell House Page #2

No one knows.

When relatives of the guests

broke into the house in 1929...

...they found all 27 dead,

from one cause or another.

Belasco was not among them.

I'd like to try a sitting tonight.

I have no objection.

Would you care to sit

in the morning, Mr. Fischer?

I'm not ready yet.

Spirit of love and tenderness...

...we gather to communicate with those

who walk this house in torment.

Help us bridge the chasm of death

so faithfully...

...that pain is transformed into joy...

...sorrow into peace.

All this we ask in the name

of our infinite Father.

Amen.

This is an evil house.

A place of sickness.

Evil.

Extremes.

Limits.

Terminations and extremities.

I don't know.

If thine eye offend thee...

Yes.

There is a young man...

...very young...

...says he must speak.

Must speak.

I don't know you people.

Why are you here?

It does no good.

Nothing changes.

Nothing.

Get out or I'll hurt you.

I can't help myself.

Goddamn you, you filthy sons

of b*tches! Goddamn you!

I don't want to hurt you...

...but I must. I must!

Get out of this house

before I kill you all!

You started manifesting

physical phenomena.

But I'm not a physical medium.

You were just now.

The embryo of one, at any rate.

I don't understand.

All this time a mental medium,

and now this.

The Lord certainly moves

in mysterious ways.

So does this house.

Back to normal?

Those pounding noises are unnerving

the first time you hear them.

Why was Miss Tanner so disturbed

by that sitting?

Because she caused

physical phenomena.

But if Miss Tanner

is a mental medium...

...and Mr. Fischer is

a physical medium...

...how can you be sure she created

those noises, and not Fischer?

I can't.

In fact, I'm not at all sure

about Mr. Fischer.

Or Miss Tanner.

Who is it, please?

You want to speak to me?

Are you the one

that warned us to get out?

Yes, it is you, isn't it?

You must give me some sign.

You're not Belasco, are you?

No.

Such a pain would not be in Belasco.

I feel your anguish.

Who are you?

Daniel?

Daniel Belasco?

Very clever.

If you're that clever,

why are you still a prisoner here?

- Good morning.

- Good morning.

- You slept well?

- Fine.

- And you?

- Very well, thank you.

I think I have a partial answer

to the haunting.

Do you?

That young man that warned us at the

sitting came to my room last night.

He's Belasco's son.

Yes. Daniel Belasco.

He's very young and frightened and

because of it, very angry and hostile.

If I convince him to move on...

...much of the haunting

will be eliminated.

Do so, by all means.

I'd like to suggest another sitting.

Under scientific conditions this time.

Miss Tanner in apparent trance.
