this house close up that door i'll put the post to the left how did you find out about this door not i discovered it when i examined the house years ago it was empty then it had been empty for years and you chose it because of the door yes but i've gotten to hate it i've gotten to hate every board every window every sound i know i'm going to die here in the sea and she's going to kill me she's going to murder me for me learn take a hand off that post son i said he ran in the top door i received a phone call from mark tonight and i've do i reach it and so so beautiful no no no no no no no no

sounded absolutely out of his mind it was historical the wind of herring scream the terrible thing all right you think that he's yeah that's that's what i'm worried about those kids they're not big too likely but a search for him yeah i'll come with you i think you'd better go home no richard you've you've been up all night police in the coast guard are searching for him i don't see how to do any good for us to search these beaches mark maybe here somewhere oh well find him this woman down the beach there i think he's found something we're coming look on the rocks near them yes perhaps i can see it very well in this i found a body where is it right there just over a stem to cross him oh who's with yes this is my husband oh i didn't know it was you Mrs. Douglas here in the miss there you've been enough though i will we should take away the feelings so i can see his face Richard if he won't i will how'd you like to live in the house of doom cozy little place to spend a short life but a lonely one isn't it you know a little home like that would be our answer the housing shortage just build a few of them and you won't have any challenge to worry about let's get back to our show just to the death of her husband we find the lovely Lorraine and the house son jay v jones's hand staring out the window just as her husband had done on the night he was murdered she's married again to her husband's friend Richard Belmont yes Richard you help me with my raincoating all right we'll have to be there then it right they'll all be glad to see you either to be the first time you stepped out of the house in months i can't help with if i didn't know there's no reason to get angry i'm sorry just that i don't care to go off in a storm like that just a short clip down the road i know it's a little rain you're in very good health now please don't talk about it you ready yes i'm quite ready thank you let's go don't want to leave you tonight at all i was afraid of this where are you something weird i think queer about the way you cling to this house though it held you trapped mark was that way before he died too i think don't talk about mark why not what are you afraid of nothing except to leave this house nothing except that you jump at every sound you think i don't notice things you think i'm a fool where are you going out you want to come with me i'll go alone i can't stand this place another moment no i've been locked up in here for days i feel like a trapped animal wait wait wait a minute but you don't go why not because i'm asking you're not this house alone but you don't leave me your life may depend on it please please wish you don't go goodbye Kathy i want you to come right over on a night like this take the car come right away this is something i want to talk to you about oh but really the rain no but the rain are you resusing to come here because you expect a visit from Richard i think you know quite well it sounded like mark quite all right do you have there see wait where did it come from i found it outside the door that's odd yes and what's other is that someone knocked at the door and left the view laurenne you haven't been having those hallucinations again i heard someone call my name all right please Richard stand over there that's where you are very well why are you standing there holding the post you shall know do you think you deceived me Richard what are you talking about about Kathy you're in love with that that's not you would like to have my money and Kathy wouldn't do with it that's why you've been playing these tricks on me what tricks calling my name leaving the seaweed out there why should i want to do that to make me confess confess what that i murdered mark how did you first find out Richard did you hear me call out in my sleep as i heard mark do yes that's how i learned that mark murdered his first wife it's very difficult to keep a murder a secret the same satisfaction and being able to confess why are you telling me this now because you wanted to know that's why you're playing these horrible little tricks on me well don't you think i played tricks laurenne because i could see them using the seaweed how could you have murdered mark i was waiting for you to ask me he was a powerful man you couldn't have pushed him off those cliffs no i couldn't have and you were never out there with him no everyone knew he was mentally ill everyone suspected suicide yes and how very convenient how could you have killed it i'll show you Richard think you're so anxious to know everything that's going on me you must see a sub-grain in tassel down there and the body gets washed up to sea that's why you never left his house you were afraid someone would discover your secrets what are you going to do what do you expect no no i shouldn't die you did it to mark for his money it'll be any satisfaction for you laurenne that's exactly why i'm holding you here now for precisely the same reason your money and i'll tell you one more thing you were quite right about kathy and myself she called up practically on the phone i swear she started to happen to see where is she why she hasn't here kathy i came back from the dailies in fact i never got there when i returned a moment ago she was gone Richard do you think i don't know woman in her mental conditions very apt to destroy herself destroy yourself then you'll be free and you and i mustn't think of that now kathy she may still be out there somewhere we've got to try to save her if we can come on let's look for her can't leave this house tonight it's not in a storm like this this is why i'm not Richard it was on a night like this that laurenne was killed three years ago i said to let you go out here my wife and i love you and you mustn't leave me alone i can't spend this house another moment locked up with you here night and day for months i can't leave kathy you must stay i can't bear it here alone i'm going where to see some man is that what you're going some man that must be another of your hallucination i'm just going down the road i've got to see some human being who's in his right mind or i'll go out of my mind myself kathy don't leave him did you hear again hear what Richard that voice a woman's voice calling for help no Richard i i didn't hear a thing are you sure yes kathy don't go stay with no i can't stay here another minute please if we're embedded the torch of the evil and the doom that couldn't be worse i hate every board every door every piece of it i can't stand another instant goodbye Richard kathy does she know that i've been talking in my sleep maybe i should tell her what are you and kathy i'm going to go down that trap door then you just don't have any imagination or you just haven't heard enough of course we have a very uplifting moral for these gruesome shenanigans it's taken from the haunted words of poltergeist who said always live in a house that's haunted by ghosts
