That way Gavin will be safe?

"The act of looking into a mirror

or reflection to communicate

with the afterlife is

known as mirror gazing.

Viewing a mirror by candlelight

will show you your reflection

and that of any entities

inhabiting your home.

Needless to say,

once you become aware of them,

they also become aware of you."

Are you okay, Izzy?

You've been quiet.

Look, nobody is gonna

hurt me. Okay?

Then why were you screaming

last night?

I just had a bad dream.

The small dark room?

How did you know about that?

Amara told me.

You gotta stop

listening to her.

What happened next?

Someone reached in for me.

Did they touch you?

- Izzy!

- [tires screeching]

What is it, Uncle Gavin?!

F***...

I don't know.

[crying]

[gasping]

[crying]

Go play for a bit.

Slow down!

How'd it go?

How's Isabelle?

She seems fine.

After everything today.

What did River do?

Izzy said Amara spoke to her.

Where's the doll?

Dr. Thorn kept it.

You shouldn't have let him!

Why?

I'm not gonna let something

harmful get that close to Izzy!

We need the doll.

No... you need Izzy!

She's gifted, isn't she?

She can hear them

the same as her mother.

What do you want?

You want us to just leave?

It's wrong, Ellie!

You're using her as bait with no

idea whose attached themselves!

You know I believe in you...

but bringing a child into this?

Into what?!

It's been three days!

It's been sixteen years!

This isn't even about finding an

answer anymore! It's an obsession now!

You said you understood me.

My need to make contact. To

talk to my mother for closure.

Every person has lost a loved one they

wanted to speak to one last time.

To answer the unanswered.

But falling down a rabbit hole

doesn't mean there's something

at the bottom to catch you!

[camera clicking]

I saw the mirror.

I hope it was worth it.

"Psychomanteum:
a mirrored

room made to communicate

with the spiritual realm

or undergo transfiguration.

A complete change of form

or appearance

into an eternal

spiritual state.

The room is set up to optimize

psychological effects, such as a trance.

Do not break concentration,

as you may fall victim to

the dweller on the threshold."

[whispering voices]

[whispering grows louder]

[porcelain shattering]

[manic whispering,

growing louder]

[Izzy] Ellie...

[gasping]

Izzy...

Isabelle...

Give him the girl.

[tap tap]

[muttering] They're not there, they're

not there, they're not there...

[footsteps]

Gavin...

[gasping, strangled breathing]

Gavin!

- Gavin! Gavin...

- [gasping for air]

- He's in there with her.

- Who?

Listen...

[tap tap]

[tap tap]

[door slams, scraping]

[pounding]

Izzy!

[pounding, rattling]
