stayed in the general area.

I...

The World's Fair killer.

He confessed to killing 27 people.

Only nine bodies were ever found, though.

But he was in my house?

Well, we can't prove that he wasn't.

Then in 1921, Ezra Thayer was.

He murdered his wife, Colette.

And you're saying

all of this happened in my house?

But don't worry.

Nothing bad has happened there

since 1960s.

It was a school then, you know.

The headmistress fell, or was pushed,

from a second-story window to her death.

So, according to your research,

that body could have come from

anywhere from four to five of

horrible deaths on the property?

No, no. No, I'm sure there are more.

And when we get a date on those bones,

then we can start to figure something out.

It won't be a mystery for long.

Hello? Nate?

Generally, when people faint,

we only explore the hauntings angle

after we've removed some other options.

I know it's not real. I know it was a dream.

-lt just seemed very real.

-Mrs. Weaver,

everyone in this town knows that last week

you found a body underneath your house.

If that is not a good reason

to have a nightmare, I don't know what is.

I don't think you fainted at all.

What I think you experienced

was a simple case of sleepwalking.

It can often be accompanied

by vivid dreams.

Did you sleepwalk as a child?

No.

Well, when we see it in adults,

it's usually in reaction to stress.

How've you been? Since the miscarriage?

How's the depression?

Well, l... I mean, the meds help.

It's just... My husband, Nate,

he brought us out here so I would get better.

So we could forget, you know, it's...

I thought it was a good idea

to leave the city,

but I'm not sure if it is.

Listen, it could be many things.

Let's run some tests,

and get some answers.

Okay.

No.

What's wrong?

It's sick.

Yeah. No.

Look, I gotta call you back, all right?

You okay?

I don't like sleeping alone.

You work late last night?

Yeah.

And it's about to get real busy out here.

I just set the date for my show.

Good. Where?

Risa wants to go with

the gallery on Bleecker Street.

I like that one. Anybody call for me?

No.

Wait a second, yeah. The sheriff called.

They've identified the bones at the lab.

They're about 150 years old

and they belong to an adult female.

Really? So now what?

I don't know. That's it. Case closed.

But 150 years old.

That's when William and Mary lived here.

Mary disappeared. It could be her.

Yeah. That's a possibility.

Did you tell the sheriff?

No.

Nate!

What's he gonna do? Go and arrest a guy?

That's probably Risa.

Hello?

Yes, this is Mrs. Weaver.

Click over if she beeps in.

Hi.

You're sure?

But...

Okay.
