5. Ghost Protector

Complete story — includes the ending

In Cincinnati, Ohio, 24-year-old Kelly Cataline wants to introduce her boyfriend Chris to her parents. It is the 1990s and they meet up in a bar to talk. After she leaves, Chris gets into an altercation with two guys and is stabbed. Later on, he dies of his injuries. The tragic loss haunts Kelly for years, even during her relationship with another man. In 2010, she and her fifteen-year-old daughter Samantha move into a rental house. Samantha comes across a picture of her mother and Chris. Kelly hears noises from upstairs of things being moved around. While she is at work, Samantha and her friend Haley are alone in the house watching a movie and they hear loud footsteps. Samantha figured her mom was home from work but that wasn't the case and a purse is thrown at her. Kelly comes home and figures Samantha was hearing things. One night, she sees an "I love you" message flashing on the TV screen and later on during the day hears tapping sounds on the upstairs closet door. She suspects Chris is there and decides to keep it to herself. Samantha wakes up feeling as though she's being watched and checks the halls and a dark monster figure comes out of the closet and approaches her. Kelly comes to her rescue and finds her crying. Kelly tells her it's Chris and that he's protecting them but Samantha doesn't believe it. Over the next several weeks, Kelly senses Chris all the time and hands Samantha a crucifix to protect her. But while Samantha is sleeping, she is scratched by the monster. Paranormal investigator Dale Hamblin comes to perform an EVP session. There are two entities in the house, one of them being Chris and he's been battling the monster trying to get rid of it. Kelly then remembers visiting Chris' grave years ago and used a Ouija board to contact him which also triggered the monster. Since she didn't properly end the conversation and left the portal to the spirit world open, both spirits attached to her. Dale and Kelly say a prayer in the basement and Dale is attacked. The house seemed fine afterwards, but the monster returns and causes Kelly and Samantha to officially leave the house.
