He couldn't unlock them again.

How long have you been working

- About five months.
They hired me to
do some renovations,

they ended up separating
halfway through the job.

- About six weeks ago.
Neil wanted to finish the work

she really loves this place

why are you here

an infestation of fire ants.

I said no.
Can I get my tools?

it last night, and...
How--how did you know?

- No, no, no!
Max Geoghan is dead!
- Yeah, he is.
But he's...he's still here.
Most people would say that
he's haunting you,
but I think we can call it
what it really is, Andie.
You are still being stalked.
- Why should I believe you?
- Because I think
you already know
what I'm saying is true.
You know he is still here.
He says you do these cleansing
and protection spells
every week to try
and get rid of him.
- [breathing shakily]
I thought I was just...
paranoid or losing my mind,
but I...
I do still feel him
watching him.
- Yeah.
- What do I do?
How do I get rid of him
for good?
- I think I can help you.
But you have to do exactly what
