• 🏠 Despite a building inspection finding no hazards, the father, Allen, began exhibiting erratic behavior, including increased irritability and binge drinking.

Escalating Paranormal Activity

• 🪑 A babysitter and Danny reported a chair rocking and moving on its own during a board game, initially dismissed as a prank.

The Red-Eyed Intruder and Escalation

• 🚗 The family, increasingly terrified, fled the house after the figure reappeared and threatened Allen.
• 🎶 A pastor suggested playing church music throughout the night, which surprisingly led to a peaceful night for the family.

The Climax and Abandonment
