==Biography==
Dr. Malcolm Crowe was a very successful child psychologist who was honored one night for his achievements in the field. After celebrating with his wife over the event the two found out that somebody had broken into their house who they soon discovered was one of Malcolm's former patients Vincent Grey. Although Crowe tried to reason with him an angry Vincent declared that Malcolm had failed him before shooting his old doctor then killing himself. Malcolm died that night of his injuries although remained unaware of this for the next year.
After this the now spirit Crowe approaches who was due to be his next patient, Cole Sear. Although the boy was initially weary of him Crowe assumed this was because he didn't like psychiatrists when in fact Cole had the ability to see dead people, even ones who were unaware that they were dead. Cole admits this to Crowe in one of their sessions and Crowe considers giving up on treating him due to mistakenly believing the case is ruining his marriage by diverting his attention and also because it reminds him too much of Vincent's case. After listening to old recordings of his sessions with Vincent however Crowe changes his mind and tells Cole that he should maybe try helping the spirits that come to him as this might make them less scary and hard for him to deal with.
Taking on his advice, Cole decides to approach one of the next spirits to appear before him, a very sickly girl a few years older than him named Kyra Collins who wants Cole to attend her funeral and help expose to her father her mother's crime of poisoning her to the point of her dying something which she was also planning to do to her sister, she also asked him to give her sister one of her puppets and to tell her that Kyra always loved her.
Cole does as Kyra asks and her spirit is able to move on, Cole becomes a much happier person after this and Crowe decides they no longer need to see one another, at which point Cole gives him advice on what to do with his wife "talk to her in her sleep". Crowe tries this when he returns home and hears Anna saying, "why did you leave me?" in her sleep much to his confusion, before he can react however, he sees something rolling off of her armchair and onto the ground; his wedding ring. Crowe realizes that he was killed the night that Vincent shot him and has been dead this entire time, Anna wasn't being distant with him like he initially thought but is grieving over him.
Learning this Crowe accepts what happened to him and offers Anna final comforting words, informing her that she was never second to his work. When he sees her smiling in her sleep over this his spirit finally passes on and he vanishes.
