voicemail my dad left me.

Hey, baby girl, I, uh

I... I... I just wanna

tell you about that day

and I've never told you and I don't

think there's much time now.

It wasn't her fault, Maddy.

It was somethin'

in that house, it..

Something

that, that made her do it.

I think it got into all of us.

When I came home, there

was blood everywhere

in the kitchen.

She'd broken a plate

and it looked like

she'd stepped on

one of the pieces.

Katherine? Maddy?

No one answered.

I followed the bloody

footprints to the stairs.

Hey! No, no!

There, there... there..

There was no one

in the house, Maddy.

There was no one in the house.

I could hear them.

I could hear them.

Stop! Stop!

Stop listening to me!

Please. Oh, no.

No, there was and, um..

No, there... there was,

there was someone

or something

telling her

wh... what to do.

It just kept pushing and pushing

and pushing at her.

And as I got closer

to the nursery

I, I could hear someone

whispering..

"five, five."

I know it now

but then I couldn't tell

if they were far away

or if they were

right next to me.

I didn't understand them.

I didn't want to.

I didn't want to.

I've never been so scared.

I've never been so scared.

And when I heard

that, that scream..

I, I... I ran

and I ran as fast as I could.

The baby..

The pillow, it was,

it was right there.

Oh, god, I didn't

have to see. I knew.

Oh, god, I knew!

And when I found her, her

hands were over her eyes.

At first I thought

she was crying..

But then I realized

she was laughing.

She was laughing!

She said she

could see everything now

and she asked me where you were.

She said she wanted to show you

but I just, I just wanted her

to stop laughing!

I just wanted her

to stop laughing!

No. No, no, no, no.

That's not what he said.

This isn't, this

isn't the same message.

- What the f*** was that?

- I don't know.

Okay, 'cause if you're f***ing

with us, Maddy, that's not funny.

- Alright, take it easy, Izzy.

- Wait, listen, okay?

He didn't say this earlier

when I listened to it, okay?

What are you saying? Somebody

changed the recording?

- How?

- I don't know, Madison.

But somebody recorded that.

No, listen,

the man I heard earlier

was scared, Jake. Okay?

Twenty years later, and he was

still scared of this place.

You guys have to believe me.

I... I didn't record this.

I don't even know how!

Huh?

What was that?

Uh, you guys hear that, right?

I don't like this.

Let's just

get the hell out of here.

Yeah.

- What do we do now?

- I don't know.

It's just a dog, right?

Hey, buddy. Hey,

what are you doin' here?

Hey, you look friendly.

Hey, buddy.

- Sh*t!

- Oh!

Plan B.
