Eli Roth Presents: A Ghost Ruined My Life

I'm Eli Roth.

I've spent my life telling horror stories,

but imagine if those stories were real.

And suddenly, you found yourself stalked and tormented by an evil spirit.

And no one believed you.

I wasn't going insane.

It makes you feel helpless.

It was terrifying.

These are the actual tales of terror as told by you,

the victim, who came face to face with their demons... - No!

...and survived.

I was raised strictly, in a religious... family.

The devil and demons and things like that were not to be talked about.

Ghosts were not to be talked about.

It was unheard of, it was not okay.

But... it's real.

It's very, very real and it took me a long time

to figure that out.

Great. Okay. - Sorry.

Yep. Good.

I'm sorry. I don't mean to cry.

My husband and I moved into the suburbs with our daughter, Hailey.

Very, very busy area.

Lots of neighbors.

I loved the house.

Couldn't ask for anything better, honestly.

Billy and I, you know, we tried to go and do fun things together

as much as we possibly can.

Just get out of the house.

Date nights were very important to us.

You marry your best friend, so you're out hanging out with your buddy.

So?

Love it. - Yeah, you do.

Hailey!

Hailey!

What?

Turn that down.

Fine.

Where's this party anyways?

The old Stanfield prison.

What? I told you that.

No, you didn't.

That's...

...morbid.

Come on. It'll be great.

I don't know.

Morbid? - Yeah.

What are you? Like 90? - Shut up.

Thought it would be a fun thing to do.

You know, something different. Just not, like, going out to dinner,

you know, or going to a sporting event.

You know, it's something new.

You know, it's always for the thrill.

It's like, "We'll go to this creepy place."

When we decided to go to this Halloween event at the prison...

I didn't really want to go

because of it's dark past.

It has a lot of dark history.

When we got there I was actually very shocked

at how big this place was.

It was never ending.

Going into a place like that... you're walking in this line.

It was like this never-ending tunnel and,

you know, rows of prison cells.

Like just cell after cell after cell after cell.

Okay!

I don't know.

I told you. We got here too early.

That just means we have to drink more.

It was almost immediate.

I know her body language.

You could just tell that she felt uncomfortable.

Candace!

You okay?

Yeah. Yeah, I'm fine. It's... I'm just cold. It's freezing in here.

Are you kidding? I'm boiling.

Can you hold my drink? - Sure.

Hello?

You okay?

I wanna leave.

What?

Can we please leave?

Candace, you okay?

Candace.

Candace, wait.

I... The moment I walked in to that prison, I knew I was being watched.

I feel like it was a man.

Um, you just get that sensation sometimes where

you could almost tell, like, the anger of it.

It's like a pressure sitting on your back.

You just can't describe that kind of feeling

when you walk through a place like that.

But I think very, very, very next night,

and that's where that all started.

You buy too much every year.

Yeah, I buy just enough.

Your turn.

Poor baby.

Trick or treat.

Aren't you a bit old for this, Ricky?

All right, but seriously?

At least I'm not as old as you.

Once they're old enough to shave,

we're done for the night.

I'm hungry.

Seriously? You just ate.

That's not real food.

Nachos?

Yep, nachos.

Nachos.

Don't look at it.

Your turn.

Billy!

My God!

That's not funny!

Candace?

What's going on?

Nothing.

Just those stupid Anderson kids.

Well, come inside.

Nachos.

Everything just changed.

Nothing was normal again.

This thing...

...was from hell.

I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy.

You know when you see something out of the corner of your eye,

and it's black, and it's just past ya?

I feel like I'm being watched. Your hairs stand up.

You hear people say that all the time.

It's actually a real thing.

Hey.

It's almost 8.

Crap.

Sorry.

I just couldn't wake up. - It's okay.

Well, good morning. I'll see you downstairs. - Yeah.

Well, good morning.

Morning. - It's about time.

Good morning to you, too.

When you send a request to that number,

what we do is we open it like this when it arrives...

Your bag's on the island.

Am I giving you a ride today?

No, I'm going with Kim.

I'll see you.

Mom. Bake sale? - See you. Yeah?

Don't forget. - Ha! Got it.

Your books! You're gonna need these.

Thank you.

See you.

He shook his fist at me and he said...

Remember that? Right over there.

You used to really be scared.

Johnny.

You're still afraid.

Stop it now! I mean it.

They're coming to get you, Barbara.

Ignorant.

They're coming for you, Barbara.

Stop it. You're acting like a child.

They're coming for you.

Look! There comes one of them now.

He'll hear you!

Here he comes now.

I'm getting out of here. - Johnny!

No! No!

Johnny! Help me!

Billy?

Hailey!

Hello?

Hey, Candace.

Candace?

Good morning.

Good morning.

Chocolate chip? - Yeah. Bake sale.

What happened?

Just clumsy. You know?

I'd hear footsteps a lot.

You could hear it going down the hallway.

I would hear a door handle jiggle...

...and knocking.

There's nothing you can do

and it's like pure, frozen... fear.

Your hairs stand up.

You know, you hear people say that all the time.

It's actually a real thing.

I burned the cookies... twice.

That's not like you. Did you save them?

You okay?

Why?

I just know her well enough. I know her body language.

You can just tell that she felt uncomfortable.

You know, bothered by something.

Don't worry about it. I'll see you tonight.

Yeah. Yeah.

I'll see you later.

Leave me alone.

Leave me alone!

Then things really started to escalate.
