The Haunted Museum

Human skeletons have played a key role

in rituals for thousands of years,

and it's easy to see why.

The human skeleton is a powerful reminder of

our own mortality and proof that our time

in this world is often all too short.

Now, since acquiring these skeletons in 2016,

I have seen with my own eyes the powerful effect

that they have had on my visitors.

Now, while the organizations who own these skeletons

before me may have used it for harmless initiations,

I've learned that in the past, some other much darker

societies have used them for far more

sinister purposes.

Some believe they have played a key role

in blood sacrifices or attempts to contact demons,

or the Devil himself.

Now, during my investigations into these matters,

I've also learned that sometimes,

in an attempt to conceal their actions,

members of these secret societies have

hidden these skeletons behind walls,

they've hidden them in attics, basements.

In here, they've remained, sometimes for decades,

until being accidentally discovered.

Now, I began to wonder, what horror might such

an object inflict on an unsuspecting homeowner

who had no idea that such a presence was in their house?

And it was this question

that inspired the film you are about to watch.

Hey, Mom!

Can I get some juice?

You really put a dent in this.

Hey.

Yeah.

Can I be done for the day?

Maybe once you help me with this side?

Thank you.

Mmm.

Back to it.

Yes, ma'am.

Mom? - Yeah?

I think there's something here.

What is it?

I don't know.

What do you think is inside of it?

Who knows?

Could be a time capsule.

Let's go open it.

Lock on it or something.

How are we gonna get this loose?

Move.

I don't think that's gonna work at all.

Okay.

Whoa.

What is it?

It's an old film can.

Might be a movie in here.

Can you see anything on it?

I'm not sure.

Anything I can help you with?

Hi.

Yes.

I was wondering if you had any film projectors.

Uh, what kind? - 16 millimeter.

Ah.

Follow me.

So, you and your son found a time capsule?

That's what I thought it was.

It had an old film reel inside,

but I think it might be evidence of a real murder.

A murder?

Just this way.

Mind the mess.

Sorry.

This isn't it.

I don't know what's happening.

Thank you for coming out anyway.

I know you're new to town, ma'am,

but we're only a small team out here.

Of course.

Sorry again.

Morning.

Hey.

Did you get up late last night?

What? No.

Why? - Nothing.

How's your new room? - It's all right.

Just didn't get much sleep last night.

How come?

Just kept on hearing weird noises.

What kind of noises?

I don't know. Like chanting or something.

Chanting?

Yeah, it's probably nothing though.

I think my phone was playing something.

Help me, Georgia!

Ah, back so soon.

What can I do for you today?

Do you know how to determine the date of a film like this?

Ah, let's see.

Usually, you can tell the date

by the symbols printed

on the film itself.

Here we go.

Ah.

It looks like late 1930s.

1930s?

That's correct.

Are you certain about the date?

Yes, 100%.

Could it have been developed any later than that?

It would've been developed within a few years

of its being manufactured,

or there would be no images.

Film of this era was quite unstable.

Hope that helps.

Hey.

Watch anything interesting?

Nope.

Well, there's this thing called a TV.

Good idea.

Hey, anything you wanna watch?

You choose.

Mom! - No!

Mom, what's wrong?

Mom! - Did you see that?

See what? - The old film reel.

Mom.

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

Don't worry. I, um...

I think I just need to sleep.

Maybe watch something tomorrow, okay?

The film is cursed.

Once you watch it, they come for you.

Like they did for me.

Georgia!

Help me!

Mom?
