- In December 1914,
a series of horrific
murders were committed
at a remote ranch.
Police were never able
to identify a suspect.
In December 1944, again,
a series of horrific
murders occurred
at the same remote ranch.
Again, police were never
able to identify a suspect.
In December 1994, again,
took place at the same ranch.
And once again,
police were never able
to identify a suspect.
- Harold!
Harold, please!
Harold!
It's so peaceful way out here.
- Yeah, maybe
that's why it was so
inexpensive.
Honestly, I can't believe
this house was on the market
for over five years.
- Maybe it was just waiting.
For us.
- Yeah.
Yeah, I like that.
Hey, with all the
money we saved up
we should probably
knock out that barn.
Or like, build like a
shop or a greenhouse.
- Oh yeah.
A greenhouse sounds nice.
- Hey, you know what
else would be nice?
If Neil and Emma actually
showed up on time for once.
Just for once.
They were supposed to
be here two hours ago.
- Well, uh,
- Yeah, let's do that.
So...
About this furniture.
- What about this furniture?
- Maybe we can sell all
of it on Craigslist,
make some money and buy
some different furniture?
- Aw, I think it fits.
- Yeah, I think it'd
fit for somebody.
I don't think it
fits for us though.
- No, it adds to the
whole country charm.
- Yeah well, I bought this place
'cause you wanted to
be in the country.
Even though it added
an hour to my commute.
- Neil said it was
only thirty minutes.
- Well, Neil is thirty
minutes closer to the office.
- You sound just like Martha.
- When are you gonna
start calling my mom mom?
me like Satan incarnate.
- She does not, she
treat you like...
- really?
She told me I was poisoning you.
- That's because you didn't know
I was allergic to shellfish.
- No, it was before that.
- Can we not talk about my mom?
- Um, hey.
- Hey.
- Hey, yeah, sorry we're late.
It's Neil's fault.
- What, my fault?
- Yes honey, I told you that
two hours ago but you said no.
- Yeah, well looks like
we timed this just right.
Otherwise.
- Alright man, you and me
on box patrol and girl time.
What's up, man, love you.
Boxes are right there.
- Over here?
- Yeah, yeah.
- Dude, you know this house
is wicked old.
- Yeah, tell me about it.
- You know...
You ever heard the story?
- No, what story?
- Neil, not tonight, okay?
I mean, they're just moving...
- there's no story.
- Oh, there's a story.
It was back in 1969.
Or '79, no 1969, yeah.
Their names?
Their names were
George and Martha.
- Neil can never
get the names right.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah, no, no.
Their names were Abe and Mary.
Abe and Mary Lincoln.
Abe and Mary Johnson,
I'm positive.
- Okay, really Neil,
I don't think that Anne
and Harold are in the mood
to hear one of
your ghost stories.
- It's not a ghost story.
It's...
It's a dead story.
It's the type of
story that'll get you
dead.
- Ooh.
- Anyways, I don't know
all of the details.
- He doesn't know
any of the details.
- But they say that one
morning at like 2:00 am,
that's the bewitching
hour and all.
You mean 12:
00 am.- Uh, Harold, you mind
if I tell the story?
Thanks, bud.
Anyways, it's 2:
00 ambecause that's when
Jesus was killed or
something like that.
- Resurrected.
- Whatever.
But one morning Mary
wakes up at 2:
00 amand just rolls over in bed
straight into Abe's chest.
For no reason.
