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.

Made me 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 and survived.

All right. You can go ahead and get your slate in here.

Cameras are rolling in.

You're in a fight for your body, your life, your soul, whatever.

You don't know what's at the end of this.

Does the devil himself come?

After I'd finished college,

the first thing I need to do is get a job and a nice place to live.

I moved in with my best friend at the time.

I was excited and it was nice to be with someone that I knew

and, you know, not living with a stranger.

Alex, she was wonderful.

Hello?

Hey.

Brandi, this is Sabrina, our other room-mate.

Hi. - She's lived here for...

...almost eight years now.

What a great neighborhood.

Should have seen it before I moved in.

Hey, Randy, this is our home now.

Behave while I put our stuff, okay?

Come on. I'll show you your room.

That's my room.

Yours is down there on the left.

Where do you want those?

In the closet. It's fine.

You're not putting any of it up.

I'm not turning this into my mother's house.

Okay. - This is our place.

I grew up in Catholic schools my whole life.

As I got older, I became a little bit rebellious.

I didn't want any part of organized religion at all.

But I didn't make the right decision.

Milk and sugar salad...

...since freshman college.

It may be tickled.

Five letters.

See if this tickles your fancy.

I'm 2000 miles away from all my family

and I finally feel like I have an opportunity to live in a home.

I feel safe and, you know, it's comfortable.

My room-mates helped with the cats, so it was really nice.

Hello?

Everything okay?

I thought I heard something.

It's probably just old pipes in the walls or something.

Come on, it's been a long day.

Just go back to bed.

That made me pretty uneasy

because Alex says she didn't hear anything.

The house was covered with Ivy.

Normally, I love how it looks on the side of houses

and trellises and all that, but there was too much of it.

Hello?

Hey, Brandi.

Have you ever heard any weird sounds in the house?

What sounds?

Like a knocking from the walls.

What do you think?

I think that just because someone's knocking

doesn't mean that you should answer.

There's so many questions that I have,

and Sabrina was not any help.

So that was kind of the beginning of something's weird,

like, something's off here.

Enough.

I hear that knocking again.

It's like, one, two, three.

One, two, three.

So I knocked back.

And it stopped.

I did not expect to have more experiences,

but this is just the beginning.

Randy.

Randy.

Welcome back to A Ghost Ruined My Life.

It feels like I'm in the presence of something evil.

I'm in a horror movie at this point.

Morning, B.

I slept through my alarm and I have an interview in half an hour.

Did you borrow my red blouse again?

No.

Are you sure?

Brandi, I gave it back to you before the move.

It'll turn up.

Besides, you look more professional in the blue one anyways.

See.

I had started looking for a new job.

The plan was to work in local government and public service.

Alex?

Sabrina?

Sabrina?

What's up, Brandi?

Is Alex home?

No, just me. Are you okay?

Guess I'm just getting used to the sounds of an old home.

You kind of feel like you're in the middle

of a forest and something's watching you.

I get goosebumps. My hair is on edge.

I'm seeing things out of the corner of my eye that aren't there.

It's... it's a constant feeling of paranoia.

There's something uninvited here.

There's something uninvited.

Alex.

Well, there were some things that kind of jumped out at me.

I said, "That's weird. You know, that's odd."

My first thought was, it's Alex.

There had been some issues with things coming up missing

or things that were used that permission didn't get asked.

There was a little bit of tension that was just

starting to build up and you could feel it.

Stupid old house.

What do you want from me?

There was so much Ivy,

then I start wondering, how are they connected?

Why... why did it use Ivy

to manifest?

It was very strange.

Brandi, how the interview go?

It went well. And I found my blouse.

Told you it'll turn up.

You could have at least washed it

before you put it back in my closet.

What? - It was disgusting.

I didn't take your shirt.

And if I did, I wouldn't lie to you about it.

Just apologize and we can forget it.

Now I'm mad and, um, concerned.

I do not argue or fight with people ever.

But that uneasiness,

that heaviness in the air, it was there.

It was there.

I thought it was conflicts, just individual conflicts.

But I felt that maybe there was an outside influence

of why there suddenly conflict that there wasn't before.

As I'm taking the shower,

then I see something's in the room with me.

I just felt uneasy, and it felt like I was being oppressed.

What do you want?

Sorry.

I just wanted to see if you were going to be long.

Sorry, Alex.

I'll be out in ten.

It's all yours.

I'm sorry I yelled at you.

That's okay.

Is everything all right?

You just don't really seem like yourself.
