Danny come on we gotta go. What's this? You're gonna be late for the airport. I got this for your bedroom. Come on. What? Why? Mom what? It's from Grandpa's house. Please just go help your dad. Learn to love it. They're finally unloading some of Grandpa's estates and I thought you could use a new dresser. It's perfect. They carried it from the second floor. Well it's here now so you'll learn to love it. Hey thanks for your help kiddo. Love you buddy. Okay love goodbye. I will see you in 10 days. Good luck on your business trip. Love you. Oh remember to lock the house if you need me. Will do mom. Okay so you think there's some kind of poltergeist shit going on with it? I mean I think so. Remember the noises? The lamp? Okay I don't think you're crazy. Okay that's... Look we just we can't tell Kelly. Why? I just feel like she'll think I'm crazy. What are you talking about? I just walked in and saw it for myself. Look just please keep it low-key until I know what's going on here. Hey guys sorry I was running and then then I showered and had dinner and before I knew it. It's okay man we're just chilling here. Since when is Danny late? Also he looks like shit. Yeah with him watching his parents house he doesn't have a lot of time and he doesn't have a car. That still doesn't explain why he looks like a grassroots activist or coming off a bender. What's up guys? Not much. Where did you say you were again? Oh I was running. What's going on? Has anything else happened? This time it was worse. What happened? I don't know it's like I couldn't move almost as if something grabbed me. What got worse? What grabbed you? Uh he his grades got worse. He's like failed an algebra test and he just grabbed him. Cute Jamie. What's going on? I don't need everyone hearing. What's happening? Whatever you think is going on it's worse. What do you mean? This house is haunted. Show me. No I. Don't argue with me. Show me. My dad died a few months ago. We lived in that huge mansion. The one we went to for your 13th birthday? Yeah. So my parents finally got around to handling some of grandpa's estate stuff. There's a ton of it. Yesterday they put this this old dresser in my room so it's mine now. That's when all this started happening. Oh what? Here. Is it always cold in here? Pretty much yeah. Who's your grandpa's? He lives in this house. My mom said she doesn't recognize him. I guess he could have bought it shortly before he died Have you looked in it at all? No. Every time I get close to it things start happening. Last night I got held in place when I tried to go towards it. Let's all go. MRW. My grandpa's name was Howard Mason. You're here Lowie. Yes. I don't know what to do. I think we need to go to your grandfather's house. Figure all this out. Figure out whoever W is. Maybe you're right. I'll go tomorrow. We're going with you. Tomorrow. Meet here. We're staying with you tonight. I think we should stick together. Hey Danny. Your grandfather worked for Rare Plot Realty right? Yeah. I was looking through these old papers and Rare Plot Realty's CFO from 1979 to 2003 was a guy named Maurice Robert Walton. Emma I love you. Get this. This article in 2003 says Maurice was asked to leave the company after an inside job spearheaded by Howard Mason called him out for years of abuse of employees and alleged links to a violent satanic cult. It gets worse. Walton died in 2019. Last year a former member of the cult came forward and confessed to some of the activities the cult had been doing and dude some of this is so messed up. Like what? The cult member confessed to the exhuming of Walton's grave and severing his hand. A crime the police had yet to solve. The cult member wouldn't reveal where the hand ended up but it's been speculated by some individual investigators that a likely location would have been somewhere within the expansive Mason estate where Maurice MRW's longtime nemesis Howard Mason hadn't actively lived like eight years ago. He went to the nursing home. Well that explains a few things. It's just got so much worse. There's only one way to find out how much. Let's grab some stuff and bring it with us when we go over to the house. You said 10 minutes. What happened? Sorry I was tired and I lied down for a second. What the hell is going on here? Did you not hear me knock? I had my headphones in. I'm good. Let's go. Let's go. Stick together. Danny. Danny. Yeah sorry we'll stick together. Did your mom say where in the house the dresser was? Second floor I think. Let's start there then. Let's look around in here. Anything with the initials MRW or anything that looks like that dresser. He really needs to keep an eye on him. I know he was acting really weird when I knocked on his door. He was like not even present. Not present? Yeah when he went to his room to see that it was taking so long to get the supplies. What do you mean not present? MRW. I don't think you should be touching that. What? Why? Whoa relax. I just think if our hunch is right and Maurice is involved in this he could lead us to something dangerous. What? No. No. That's impossible. There's no way. We need to hold it together. I knew something was seriously wrong with Danny. It's like something is taking control over him. If this really is Walton or his spirit or whatever this has to be some kind of revenge. What else did you read about Walton? Um Boudicla also said that the exhumed hand might be some form of resurrection. Remember when we were kids and Danny showed us the crawl space in the basement? His grandpa told him it was a war bunker. Yeah what about? Danny stop. Danny stop. Get to me Kelly. No I'm gonna end this. Do it then he dies. Just die Kelly. Danny are you okay? It's a long story let's get out of here. You've got to be kidding me. Ashley I'm super hungry let's go let's go somewhere.
