Winchester Page #6

---

If that makes sense.

Yes.

Yes, because you too

have experienced great pain.

Grief can be far more crippling

than arthritis, Doctor.

Mrs. Winchester,

do you blame the shadows

for the loss of your

husband and child?

Were you out of your room

last night?

Yes, I was.

Thank you.

Thank you

for telling me the truth.

So, why all the noise?

Why all this construction?

SARAH:
They want me

to build, Doctor.

The spirits killed by the rifle,

they guide me.

Guide you in drawing

building plans?

Yes.

For what? Why?

For the rooms, of course.

You see, once their rooms

are completed,

their presence grows stronger.

Hence, the house

that spirits built?

Yes.

The shadows that follow me,

they have unfinished business.

You saw what I did last night,

didn't you?

I did.

At the chime of midnight,

they clamor.

The bells summon them.

They communicate

through plans, drawings.

They want me to reconstruct

the rooms that they died in,

then they can enter our world.

And the trouble is,

I don't always know

who it is I'm speaking with.

It could be some

innocent bystander

or a victim of a crime,

or someone else.

Who else, Mrs. Winchester?

SARAH:
Last night,

a spirit more powerful

than any I've encountered

endangered my family.

Who are you?

Doctor, who do you see

in this room at this moment?

Just you.

Only me?

Just you.

It will take time.

You still need to clear

your head.

Oh, sir!

I would like to check in

on Mrs. Marriott

and Master Henry, if I may.

AUGUSTINE:

I will inquire, sir.

ERIC:
Perhaps, may I

ask you a question?

A question, sir?

Yes. I mean, tell me,

have you ever seen any...

Any ghosts?

No, sir.

But you have heard

the rumors, the stories?

I have heard tall tales.

Some taller than others.

Have you ever witnessed

anything out of the ordinary?

SARAH:
So display cabinets

along the walls,

and then a line of them

down the middle of the room.

Yes, ma'am.

And what type of Winchester

would you like delivered?

Every type, every model.

ERIC:
Okay, let's go back.

Tell me please what happens

once these rooms are finished?

Well, the spirit's

presence grows

more powerful and more...

More focused.

Their voices get stronger.

And we converse.

Converse how?

About what?

I show them my deep remorse.

I want to help them let go of

their grief and their anger.

And how do they react?

Favorably. Yes, mostly.

Once they are at peace,

then they can move on.

We can tear down their room,

and then we start again.

And are there those that

don't react so favorably?

Yes.

Yes, we lock them away.

How does one lock a spirit away?

Thirteen nails seals them in.

Once they find peace,

we can release them,
