FADE IN:
EXT. OUTSIDE THE HOUSE - SUNDAY, 10:33 AM
A family of three gets out a removal van, the mother and
father start to help the movers to unload the van with
all their things in.
Debbie, 36 who is the wife and the mother of the family
walks into the house with a box that has ‘Living Room’ on
it. She places it on the table that the movers had put in
there beforehand. she sighs and looks around the room and
sees a box that has ‘Kitchen’ on it. She picks it up and
puts it in the kitchen. She walks outside to get another
box.
DEBBIE
(walking out the door)
If the box says ‘kitchen’ it goes in the
kitchen and not the room next to it
Peter, 36 is the husband and the father of the family. He
walks over to her and holds her in his arms
PETER
Its okay honey, I know you’re stressing
about the house but it will all be worth
it in the end.
DEBBIE
(lifting her head up to look at him)
I hope so (She looks over at their
daughter, Beth who is 6 years old) Beth,
sweetie, lets go to your new room and
sort out all of your things
Beth runs into the house and up the stairs to her room
and her mom walks behind her smiling at her. Peter
carries on helping the movers.

INT. KITCHEN - LATER THAT NIGHT, 8:13PM
Debbie and Beth are in the kitchen. Debbie is putting all
the pots and pans into the cupboards and Beth is sitting
at the table drawing in her book. Debbie walks out to get
another box and when she walks back in all the cupboards
and draws are open in that room. Beth is just staring at
them looking scared. Debbie pans the room with a scared
look then looks at Beth.
DEBBIE
Um…Beth…, Wh…What Happened? How did you
do it so fast?
BETH
But I didn’t…
DEBBIE
Don’t lie to me, I told you lying is a
bad thing
BETH
But I’m not, it did it by itself
DEBBIE
What do you mean it did it itself. Look I
know its been a long day today with the
move and the new house but that does not
mean you can go and be naughty
BETH
But I’m telling the truth
DEBBIE
I’ve heard enough. Go to your room. (they
look at each other for a few seconds) Go!

Beth slams her book closed and stops upstairs into her
room. Debbie sighs and closes all the cupboards and
draws.
INT. BETHS CLASSROOM, 3:10PM
Two week later
Debbie has come to pick up Beth from her new school. She
stands at the classroom door and watches Beth with a
worried look on her face. Beth is sitting in the corner
of the room talking to herself. Beth’s new teacher, Mrs
Throne walks over to Debbie.
MrRS THORNE
She has been doing it all day. She has’t
even spoke to the other children.
DEBBIE
Is it normal for a child her age?
MRS THRONE
Well I haven’t had a problem like this
with the others but I wouldn’t call it
uncommon. You’ve moved such a long way so
she probably just needs a friend to talk
to and the only thing close to that is a
imaginary one. I shouldn’t worry about
it.
DEBBIE
(still looks worried)
Thank you. Beth come one sweetheart
Beth looks at her mom then back to the wall that she was
talking to then she gets up and grabs her coat and her
bag and runs out the door

Debbie
Thank you again. Goodbye
MRS THORNE
(looks worried) bye
INT. PARENTS BEDROOM, 11:30PM
Debbie and Peter are getting ready for bed. Peter is
getting all the pillows off the bed and Debbie is
brushing her teeth. The door is open and they are talking
DEBBIE
I’m going to take Beth to the garden
centre after school tomorrow to get some
seeds to plant them in the garden
PETER
How much you going to spend this time?
DEBBIE
I wont spend that much
PETER
You said that last time and you ended up
spending over £70
DEBBIE
There was a sale
They both laugh and then Debbie and peter get into bed.
They are silent for a while

DEBBIE
(Hesitates)
Have- Have you noticed anything… strange
happening around the house since we moved
in?
PETER
Now that you mention it I have noticed a
few things
DEBBIE
Like what?
PETER
Well when you took Beth to school for the
first day I was unpacking the rest of my
stuff and I kept hearing the pans moving
around in the kitchen and when I went to
see who it was there was nobody there.
un… My keys always goes missing. The
lights always turn off.
DEBBIE
…I’ve noticed things like that too. Most
of the activity is happening around Beth
PETER
I know. It is not safe. I will call the
church up tomorrow and see if I can get a
priest to come and bless the house. It’s
going to be okay babe
He kisses her on the forehead and then they lay down and

Debbie and Peter has just woke up and Debbie is walking
into the bathroom when she notices three scratches on her
arm
DEBBIE
Um, Peter did you scratch me in the
night?
Peter
No I don’t think so lets look at it
Debbie shows Peter the scratches on her arm
PETER
Oh my, that is a scratch isn’t it. I
couldn’t do that, I haven’ got the nails.
DEBBIE
…You don’t think… The demon could… you
know do that stuff?
PETER
Well I hope not… Well the bed sheet was
on the floor when I woke up in the middle
of the night…
Before Debbie could answer she feels something behind her
then it grabs her by her hair and lifts her up off the
ground. She is screaming and kicking her legs trying to
get out of the gip. Peter runs and tries to pull her down
but then a huge force throws him across the room. Debbie
drops to the floor and she is crying then Peter crawls
over to her and hold her.

happened
PETER
What are we going to do?
DEBBIE
I don’t know. We can’t stay here, it might come back, it
might hurt Beth
PETER
But we don’t have the money to move
DEBBIE
But we can’t stay here! Did you not see how much power it
had? It threw you across the room!
PETER
I know, I’m sorry. I’m sorry. Okay. we’ll have to try and
live with it. But If it gets too out of hand we’ll have
to do something to get rid of it for good. This is whats
best for Beth
DEBBIE

Debbie stands up and walk into the living room where Beth
is playing. Peter sighs and rubs his head
