The Haunting

The Wyrick family moves to a new home in Georgia, seeking a fresh start after their youngest daughter, Heidi, is diagnosed with cancer. However, the house they purchase holds a dark secret: it was once the site of macabre rituals and grisly murders.

As the paranormal activity escalates, the family uncovers the disturbing history of the house and the malevolent forces that inhabit it, leading them to seek help from a local paranormal investigator.
