2. Mind Control

Complete story — includes the ending

In March 2012, Amanda Morrison comes to a nursing home in Holly, Michigan, to visit her elderly relative William Smith. He doesn't seem to recognize her due to an illness that's swollen his brain due to years of alcoholism. To pay for his care, Amanda tells him how his home is being bought out. William grabs Amanda's hand in response but doesn't say anything. Two weeks later, Amanda and her husband Nate come to the home to work on it with their two kids; twelve-year-old Alliah and eight-year-old David. While looking around the house, Amanda comes across witchcraft books and a snake necklace. After the house is cleaned up, Amanda goes to see him and William blames her for putting him there and for her to get out of his house. Nate is vacuuming one day and comes across a tall shadow in a human shape that emerges from the floor behind him. The family gives the house up to a guardian to sell and to this day it is unknown if it's sold. David takes the necklace from the house as a souvenir that unleashes a dark entity into the house. David has recurring nightmares and Alliah is slowly pulling away from the family wanting nothing to do with them. One night, the spirit causes Alliah to carve "HELP ME" into the wooden head of her bed. They take her to a psychiatrist who claims she's suffering from depression. Amanda discovers the necklace in Alliah's room and learns David had taken it with him. She throws it out, but the shadow continues to torment the family, particularly Alliah who had begun to control her thoughts. The family calls in demonologist Samantha Harris to help and senses what she believes to be a demon heavily present in Alliah's room. She and the family deliver a prayer and they successfully remove the demon from the house. David is no longer having nightmares and Alliah is no longer undergoing depression.
