A trembling Dr. Lesh struggles to drink tea from a teacup after their tour. A heavy teapot slides across the table in front of her, mocking her statement. What I meant to say was, it might very well be a poltergeist intrusion instead of a classic haunting. You can smell the charge. Hauntings seem to be connected with an area, a house usually.
Poltergeist disturbances are of fairly short duration, perhaps a couple of months.
Hauntings can go on for years. But hauntings don't usually revolve around living people. Then we don't have much time, Dr. Lesh, because my daughter is alive somewhere inside this house. The half-skeptical researchers want to record the spirits with video cameras and audio recorders, and find some scientific reason for the disturbances, but they have little luck. Diane and Steve attempt to speak to Carol Anne's voice through a particular channel on their television.
