Janet Smurl and her family move into an old duplex in the town of Pittston, Pennsylvania, which is rumored to be haunted. Indeed, soon family members begin to pursue a variety of threatening phenomena. Strange human shadows wandering around the house, ominous sounds coming through the night, a stench spreading through the house, stains appearing on their own on the walls. But Janet cannot come to terms with the fact that something is persistently forcing the family to leave the house. Eventually, Janet turns to paranormal investigators, the Warren's for help, who know a lot more about the supernatural.
