01:12 Little fool.
01:14 Told her not to touch that rifle again.
01:17 Mmm, pretty.
01:19 Pretty little bird so far from home.
01:23 But then we didn't ask her to come snooping, did we Victor?
01:27 [Sound of a train passing by]
01:36 Hospitality.
01:38 Good old Southern hospitality.
01:42 That's what I like about the South.
01:46 This is a room in Parasite Mansion,
01:49 the name of our story tonight,
01:51 and home of the Harrods,
01:53 a family plagued for generations with a horrible curse.
01:58 Er, Parasite Mansion is a terrible place to visit,
02:03 but obviously an excellent place in which to die.
02:07 Featured in our story tonight are
02:11 Jeanette Noland,
02:14 James Griffith,
02:17 Beverly Washburn,
02:22 Tommy Nolan,
02:25 and Pippo Scott.
02:27 One of these poor unfortunates is doomed to die before your eyes.
02:32 Oh, oh, don't try to guess.
02:35 You might be right, and that would spoil all the fun.

03:26 Oh, she stirs your manhood, eh, Victor?
03:30 That's why you didn't get rid of her out in the swamp.
03:34 Hand me that scalpel.
03:36 Oh, time enough after you've had a bit more practice
03:40 with your shiny little playthings, eh, my dandy?
03:46 [Sound of a thunder]
03:50 She's coming too. Easy.
03:53 Rennie? Rennie!
03:56 I'll need his help with this.
03:58 Rennie!
04:01 That young scum, he's hiding and waiting to pounce on his pretty little bird again.
04:07 You're going to go too far with that boy one day,
04:10 and you'll have me to deal with.

05:00 She's pretty, that's why you didn't get rid of her last time.
05:03 Because you're a lonesome, unsicker hiding out here.
05:06 But what happens when you're done with her?
05:09 You can't send her back.
05:12 [Sound of a door closing]
05:20 Well, you're feeling better, honey?
05:24 Yes.
05:27 Oh, not like the dandies you're used to.
05:34 Well, he's not much to look at, but he's a harrid.
05:38 Victor Harrid.
05:40 You can call me Granny.
05:43 How do you do?
05:46 My name is--
05:48 We know who you are, sweetheart.
05:51 Victor went through your things last night while I was hidden in the bed.
05:56 Marcia Elizabeth Hunter, age 26, teacher at Hounslow College,
06:02 school for selected young ladies of quality only.
06:07 [Chuckles]
06:10 Oh, don't be afraid. He wants to tend your hurt.
06:15 [Sighs]
06:18 A mighty dwell get used to the smell of corn liquor, honey.
06:24 The Harrid men folk are swillberries, all of 'em.
06:29 Who can blame 'em with the things they have to live with?
06:32 Be quiet.
06:34 Well, I suppose you're wondering who shot at you and why.
06:38 That was Rennie.
06:40 You'll meet him.
06:42 Maybe.
06:44 It was a mistake, an accident. He's a sick boy.
06:48 His younger brother, another Harrid.
06:51 It wasn't his fault.
06:53 You're off the highway detour, trespassing on private property.
06:57 There-- There was no private property sound on your road?
07:01 It's there.
07:03 I didn't see it.
07:05 Well, that's your mistake.
07:07 You don't agree, huh?
07:11 All right. Harrid family owes you an apology.
07:14 If you got any sense, you'll let her go with that.
07:17 Then I can leave?
07:19 [Laughs]
07:20 No. No, you can't leave.
07:23 Not yet, anyway. I'd have to fix your car.
07:26 It may take a day or two.
07:29 But I-- I can't possibly stay here that long.
07:33 Why, I was expected home last night.
07:39 New Orleans?
07:41 Yes.
07:42 That's a lie.
07:44 Your home is in Shreveport,
07:47 and your family thinks you're on a holiday with a girlfriend,
07:51 and you're meeting a man in New Orleans.
07:55 You shouldn't keep incriminating letters in your purse.
08:00 Arthur and I are gonna be married.
08:02 You'll have a long wait.
08:04 No, he won't, because I'm gonna phone for another car.
08:07 We got no phone here.
08:10 The nearest neighbor is ten miles across a swamp.
08:13 I can't stay here!
08:14 You got no choice!
08:16 [Groans]
08:18 Besides, you're in no condition to go anywhere.
08:22 I had to take five stitches in your head last night.
08:26 You had to what?
08:29 I could have let you bleed to death.
08:34 You're-- You're a doctor.
08:37 [Laughs]
08:38 Victor, did you hear that?
08:40 Are you a doctor?
08:42 No, he's not a doctor.
08:44 He's not fit to tend a sick hog,
08:47 with his drinking and his hiding out here like he's a murderer,
08:50 all because of the black beard.
08:52 I told you to be quiet!
08:54 Excuse me, doctor.
08:57 No, I'm not a doctor.
09:00 I learned to do our own doctoring out here.
09:03 Wait.
09:05 I demand to know why you're holding me.
09:08 Oh, listen to that little baggage, Victor.
09:11 She's got spunk.
09:13 I just can't stay here.
09:16 You anxious to die, darling?
09:19 Mm.
09:20 Well, couldn't one of you go for help?
09:23 Oh, sure.
09:25 Victor can go for help, can't you, Victor?
09:28 [Laughs]
09:32 [Laughs]
09:34 There's your answer in his face,
09:37 the dark fear.
09:39 Go for help.
09:41 No harrid will ever bring a stranger into this house.
09:45 Now, you stay in this room.
09:47 Don't go prowling.
09:49 Don't go asking questions about anything you see or hear.
09:52 Now, you understand?

11:32 [Gunshot]
11:35 [Screams]
11:40 Ready? Give me that.
11:57 No, I'll kill her. I'll kill everybody who comes here.
12:00 She's one of those folks who took mine.
12:02 They set her--
12:04 Ow! Ready, come back here!
12:09 Ma'am. Ma'am, can you hear me?
12:17 Don't leave your room. Don't go prowling, you told her.
12:20 Now, I guess you know she can't be trusted.
12:22 She's trying to escape out of this madhouse. Can you blame her?
12:25 She won't keep her mouth shut, and you know it.
12:28 She can't leave here alive.
12:30 [♪♪♪]
12:32 [Coughing]
12:53 [Groans]
12:55 That was a fool's stunt.
12:57 Now, no more nonsense, you hear me?
13:02 The old lady will be up in a minute with some hot soup.
13:08 Drink it. Take this.
13:10 It won't kill you. It's a sedative.
13:12 You got a concussion.
13:14 Now, you want to die?
13:21 Was that what you planned for me?
13:24 Why didn't you admit it?
13:26 You have no intention of letting me leave here alive.
13:29 I haven't decided how you're going to leave yet.
13:32 Maybe I won't have to.
13:34 Maybe Renny will take care of you first.
13:36 So?
13:38 We'll just lock you in.
13:40 Mr. Hart.
13:43 Why are you holding me here?
13:46 What is it you're afraid of?
13:50 Now, lie back and be quiet.
13:52 Now, please, please hear me out.
13:55 You said before that...
13:57 that Renny was...
13:59 mentally disturbed.
14:01 I said he was sick.
14:03 All right, sick, then.
14:05 I want you to know I...
14:08 I understand.
14:10 You think you understand, do you?
14:13 Yes, I...
14:15 I'm a teacher, you know.
14:17 I studied abnormal psychology in college.
14:20 I don't really believe the boy wants to hurt me,
14:24 except in self-defense.
14:26 From what he said out there on the veranda,
14:28 I can guess what's disturbing him.
14:30 You don't say.
14:32 Yes.
14:33 Apparently...
14:35 his mother was taken away,
14:37 committed to an institution.
14:39 We know what the word is in this house.
14:44 Yes, well, it's only natural that a young, impressionable boy would...
14:48 Well, it must have been a traumatic experience for him.
14:51 That's what you think.
14:53 Well, he's afraid that he'll be taken away,
14:56 just like his mother.
14:58 Oh, Mr. Howard, I understand.
15:00 I sympathize with the boy. I do, really.
15:03 Please let me go. I won't breathe a word of what's happened. I promise.
15:07 I don't need your promise.
15:09 And I warn you,
15:10 don't go practicing any of your schoolgirl psychology around here,
15:14 'cause I can show you the things that'd shake your sanity,
15:17 the things you see in nightmares.
15:19 Show her, Victor.
15:21 Why don't you show her?
15:24 It ain't fair to tease a poor little thing so.
15:29 She's purely trembling with curiosity,
15:32 ain't you, darling?
15:34 Why don't you show her, Victor?
15:38 Oh, you're feared she won't see it,
15:41 and she'll think you're crazed.
15:43 Eh, Victor?
15:45 Shut up.
15:46 Huh.
15:47 And lock her in when you leave.
15:50 Uh, Victor,
15:52 find yourself another jug of corn liquor
15:55 and get soddy drunk as usual.
15:58 Would I be the one to tell a stranger
16:06 Harriet's family secrets now?
16:09 Would I?
16:11 You hate him, don't you?
16:17 Hate?
16:19 You don't hate a grown man what's hiding in a bottle.
16:24 You tolerate him,
16:26 like lice and crawling things.
16:30 Victor,
16:32 little Renny has more sand in his craw,
16:35 but Victor's your grandson.
16:37 Victor's no grandson of mine.
16:40 Those spineless Harrits,
16:43 they're fools, all of 'em.
16:45 Aubrey Harrit was the man I married,
16:49 their great uncle,
16:51 the biggest fool of the pike.
16:54 And, oh, his women folk,
16:56 they fumed and yelped their heads off.
17:00 But I had him
17:04 curled 'round my little finger,
17:07 and he married me
17:10 right off the streets of Mobile.
17:13 Why are you asking these questions?
17:16 It's no affair of yours.
17:18 Look, there's $50 in the glove compartment of my car.
17:23 Help me to get away before he comes back,
17:25 and you can have it.
17:26 Have it?
17:28 I already have it.
17:31 Little Renny fetched it for me
17:33 while Victor was fussing over your hurts.
17:35 Oh, he's a nice little lad, little Renny.
17:39 Don't you tell Victor,
17:42 or I'll set the lad onto you,
17:44 and this time he'll do you for sure.
17:45 Help me, and you can have that.
17:47 And I promise not to tell the authorities about Renny.
17:51 About Renny?
17:55 What about Renny?
17:57 Well, isn't that what you're all afraid of?
18:00 That they'll come and take Renny away,
18:02 like his mother?
18:04 Is that what you're thinking?
18:09 That the secret of this house
18:13 is a harmless little lad?
18:16 Little Renny?
18:18 Renny!
18:20 Renny!
18:26 You empty-headed baggage!
18:30 You can't begin to imagine
18:34 the things this house is hiding.

21:55 Hello.
22:06 Don't be afraid.
22:08 I won't hurt you.
22:10 My name's Marcia.
22:15 What's yours?
22:17 You must be Renny's sister.
22:22 And Victor's.
22:24 I told you my name.
22:30 Won't you tell me yours?
22:33 [sniffles]
22:35 Lali.
22:38 Lali?
22:40 Lali.
22:41 Oh, that's a pretty name.
22:44 [sobs]
22:46 Come here, Lali.
22:48 No.
22:50 You come here to take me away and lock me up.
22:53 Renny told me.
22:55 [sobs]
22:57 Oh.
22:59 So it's you Renny's trying to protect.
23:02 Renny said he wouldn't let you.
23:05 He said if I was very quiet,
23:09 he could find me.
23:12 [sobs]
23:14 But I'm not here to take you away.
23:18 [sobs]
23:20 Then why are you here?
23:23 Nobody ever comes here.
23:25 Why not, Lali?
23:27 [sobs]
23:29 Lali, why doesn't anyone come here?
23:32 'Cause...
23:34 'cause Victor don't want him to know.
23:37 About you?
23:41 [sobs]
23:43 But you said that Renny was afraid I'd come and take you away.
23:48 [sobs]
23:50 Oh.
23:53 Then there's something else you're all afraid of.
23:56 What is it, dear?
23:58 You can tell me.
24:00 I want to be your friend.
24:03 Cross my heart.
24:08 Really?
24:10 Really and truly.
24:12 And you didn't come here to take me away?
24:16 No. Of course not, dear.
24:19 You're just like a princess in a fairy story.
24:35 Beautiful and kind.
24:38 I can tell.
24:40 I can tell by your eyes...
24:43 the way you talk...
24:45 and by your pretty jewels.
24:48 Red and blue and green and yellow.
24:51 Just like a rainbow.
24:54 Well, then, here, dear. Take it.
24:57 It's yours.
24:59 For me?
25:01 For you.
25:03 To keep?
25:05 To keep.
25:08 [music playing]
25:10 [screams]
25:19 Sally, what happened?
25:23 [laughs]
25:25 Scared out of a year's growth, are you?
25:29 They all are.
25:31 Them that's ever seen it.
25:35 Oh, fancy.
25:37 [sobbing]
25:39 Oh, fancy.
25:42 Oh, that's too fancy for a child.
25:49 Half crazed, wasn't it, that?
25:52 Well, Mr. Busybody, you had to poke in pride...
25:56 till you found out the secret, didn't you?
25:58 Well, Luigi, you don't understand what you saw.
26:02 But you did see it.
26:05 [sobbing]
26:07 And when Victor hears, watch out.
26:11 [sobbing]
26:13 [music playing]
26:15 [screams]
26:17 [music playing]
26:19 [music playing]
26:30 [music playing]
26:32 Oh, please, I didn't mean to pry.
26:46 I was-- I was only trying to find a way to get out of this house.
26:50 I've got to get out of here.
26:52 No, no, wait, please.
26:59 Have you a last request, Marsha Elizabeth Hunter?
27:02 Why does Victor have to know I was up there?
27:05 Because he's a herald and he's the head of this house.
27:07 Yes, but you run it.
27:09 You're the only one who's not half mad with fear.
27:12 You're the real head of this family.
27:14 Think what you like.
27:16 No, no, wait, please, help me get up, and I'll give you this.
27:19 It's my engagement ring.
27:21 Take it. Take it off.
27:23 No, no, not till I'm safely out of here.
27:25 I'll have it anyway when Victor finishes with you.
27:28 Unless he keeps it for himself.
27:30 Oh, it's a perfect stone, isn't it lovely?
27:33 All you have to do is get me safely out to the highway.
27:36 You promise you won't say anything about what you saw upstairs?
27:40 Well, I'm not sure what I did see, so how can I tell anyone?
27:43 Besides, who'd believe me?
27:45 Granny.
27:46 Victor, will you help me, please?
27:49 Granny.
27:50 He'll be drunk.
27:51 Maybe he won't notice that you discovered the staircase.
27:54 Get in the bed.
27:56 Granny.
27:58 Granny.
28:01 Gun cabinet's been jimmied again. Rifle's missing.
28:04 Oh, that Renny, he's a willful little scum.
28:08 Well, then find him. I want that gun back. No more nonsense.
28:10 Do you hear me?
28:11 I hear you, darling.
28:15 What's wrong with the light? Turn it up.
28:17 No, please, please, it hurts my eyes. Do you mind?
28:20 No, I don't mind. I'll be getting rid of you tomorrow.
28:23 You mean you're letting her go?
28:25 I'm not letting her go.
28:26 What's the matter with you?
28:28 You fool. You think you can trust her?
28:32 Granny, oh, please.
28:35 Look.
28:39 I caught her upstairs with Lolly asking her questions.
28:43 And, Victor, she saw it happened while she was bribing the child with a pretty...
28:51 Yes, right there, with this.
28:55 And then she tried to bribe me to keep it from you with a diamond she's wearing.
29:01 Oh, she's clever, she is, Victor, and treacherous like the swamp.
29:07 But old Granny knows.
29:10 And Granny will have the diamond, Victor.
29:14 Get out. Get out!
29:16 Get out!
29:21 Now, what did you see? And how much do you know?
29:25 You little fool. I knew if I brought you here...
29:29 Now you can never leave.
29:30 But if I give you my promise...
29:32 Your promise of silence isn't enough. You'd break it.
29:36 I can't take that chance, Eli.
29:40 It's a deal that isn't fair that should be taken away from us.
29:47 What are you staring at?
29:49 You think I'm some kind of a fiend that I keep you here for my own purpose?
29:53 I was actually going to guard you until the old lady found Rennie and the rifle.
29:59 Thanks to your meddling, it won't make no difference now if he gets to you.
30:05 [knocking]
30:30 Well, look what the cat dragged in.
30:33 A pair of fancy mice.
30:35 All done up in the sun to best.
30:38 I thought I told you to go find Rennie.
30:41 Old Rennie will show up when his belly's empty.
30:44 Meanwhile, if you and your fine lady are ready, your supper is served in the kitchen.
30:50 We'll eat in the dining room tonight.
30:52 And when you're set up, go fetch Miss Hunter down.
30:55 Oh, so that's it.
30:57 You've got to find airs and manners for your guest.
31:01 You don't care what she sees, do you, Victor?
31:05 She's already seen enough, and there's no sense of hiding the rest of it from her.
31:08 Go help your granny, Lola.
31:11 You're a fool.
31:13 [footsteps]
31:16 [liquid pouring]
31:20 [thud]
31:22 [footsteps]
31:43 Mr. Harold.
31:45 You've got more grit than I thought.
31:47 Maybe less sense.
31:49 Rennie could have been waiting for you right outside your door.
31:52 I know.
31:54 When you left, I was too terrified to do anything but cringe.
31:57 And then I got angry.
31:59 I decided that a quick bullet was preferable to the waiting.
32:02 Hm.
32:04 Mr. Harold, I want to talk to you about your sister.
32:08 I've had a chance to think about what happened when I tried to give her my pin.
32:14 I've read about such things in college.
32:18 She's affected with...
32:20 stigmata.
32:22 And what do your college books tell you about stigmata, Miss Hunter?
32:26 Well, I remember one case, a fugitive murderer.
32:29 He became so obsessed with the idea that he was going to die by the gallows that...
32:33 that rope welts actually appeared around his neck.
32:36 Medical records tell of dozens of other cases.
32:39 Is that a fact?
32:40 Yes, it occurs mostly in fanatics.
32:43 Extreme hysteria causes the skin to react to imaginary blows.
32:47 A cut and welts appear as if the victim had actually been struck.
32:51 And sometimes the victim's wounds bleed, like your sister Lani.
32:58 Mr. Harold, I want to leave here.
33:01 But I know that's impossible until the so-called secret of this house is no longer a threat to any of you.
33:07 You want to play detective, is that it?
33:09 Your sister isn't insane.
33:11 She's just badly frightened like the rest of you.
33:17 Now, what is it you're afraid of?
33:19 You've got eyes.
33:20 You saw what happened to that bottle you tried to get the lolly.
33:23 Well, the pin flew out of my hand and hit the wall, or at least it seemed to.
33:27 But I know that was some kind of involuntary action on my part.
33:30 On your part?
33:31 Yes, I threw that pin.
33:34 The child must have had some strange kind of hypnotic influence over me.
33:40 There couldn't be any other explanation.
33:47 All right.
33:50 You want to know what we're afraid of?
33:53 I'll tell you.
34:00 We're afraid of it.
34:02 The thing that snatched your pin and threw it.
34:05 The thing that scratched Lali.
34:09 Look.
34:11 Books.
34:12 Thousands of pages on stigmata.
34:15 Case after case.
34:16 All explained with need, scientific logic.
34:19 But not one word, not one clue to explain it.
34:25 The thing that's cursed our family for three generations.
34:29 Here, read.
34:31 Read them.
34:33 And when you're through, I'll tell you two more cases the doctors thought were stigmata.
34:38 In your family?
34:42 My own mother.
34:44 My great aunt Elizabeth.
34:47 And that's the hideous part.
34:49 The thing's been with us so long, we've never been able to destroy it.
34:55 There is no thing.
34:57 That's a lot of superstitious nonsense.
34:59 You know what a poltergeist is?
35:02 It's supposed to be some kind of evil, prankish spirit, isn't it?
35:09 An invisible parasite.
35:11 The thing that attached itself to my aunt Elizabeth when she was 20.
35:15 And when she died, to my mother.
35:18 And...
35:20 Lali.
35:22 Lali, it's all right.
35:25 I told you, ladies haven't supper with us.
35:28 She doesn't mean you any harm.
35:29 Her?
35:32 Been frightening the child again.
35:34 Somebody ought to put her on our guard against this baggage.
35:39 Get the supper on.
35:45 Come to the table, Tom.
35:48 Mr. Herrod, before we go in, there's something I have to know.
36:08 Do you really believe that nonsense about Lali being haunted by a demon?
36:12 An invisible parasite?
36:14 For three generations, we Herrods have had the choice of either believing that we were haunted or insane.
36:21 Which would you choose?
36:43 Rennie.
36:44 Now you get to the table.
36:46 You leave the boy be.
36:47 You heard me.
36:48 He don't have to sit for the likes of her.
36:50 You afraid she'll contaminate us Herrods?
36:53 She's already making a fool of you, Victor.
36:56 Rennie, look at your big brother, acting like he's a man in front of this fancy petticoat.
37:03 Look at him.
37:04 Now get.
37:05 I won't forget this, Victor Herrod.
37:11 Sorry, Granny forgets sometimes.
37:25 A man has trouble in you, dearie?
37:49 That's a pity.
38:16 Vic.
38:17 Can I have that?
38:38 But surely you don't actually set a place at the table for the...
38:58 Oh, he's mad again.
39:00 You riled him up, Lali.
39:02 He wanted all of that pay up.
39:05 Oh, he's a mean one, that little poltergeist of yours.
39:34 Now, do you believe in our demon?
39:41 You're lucky.
39:43 No stranger ever saw him before him before.
39:47 Never any of them fool doctors that was trying to help Elizabeth from the child's mother.
39:53 Oh, our little demon always waited till they was safe at home.
39:59 Hey, Victor.
40:01 Be quiet.
40:03 Look at him.
40:05 As many times as he seen it happen, it still makes his blood run cold.
40:12 But not yours.
40:14 What was I?
40:15 I said, you don't seem to be afraid.
40:18 Why should I be?
40:20 I'm no Herrod.
40:32 Was your Aunt Elizabeth the first to be haunted by this thing?
40:37 Yes.
40:39 Your granny married Uncle Aubrey.
40:41 At least that's how the family legend goes.
40:44 Three generations entombed in this house.
40:48 Rotten with fear.
40:51 And that's our fate as long as there's a young girl with Herrod blood in her veins.
40:57 Not if we destroy the thing.
41:02 There must be a logical explanation.
41:07 I intend to find it.
41:09 You intend to find it?
41:10 I'm serious.
41:11 Whatever this thing is, I'm going to discover its secret.
41:14 Unless it destroys you first.
41:17 Perhaps.
41:19 But your pet demon is in danger, Mr. Herrod.
41:23 And I think he knows it.

42:32 You've got to be out of your courage, Victor.
42:35 You ought to be getting rid of that car out in the swamp while there's a storm to cover your tracks up.
42:40 You go to bed.
42:41 You fool.
42:43 She'll be missed.
42:45 They'll come searching for her.
42:49 Victor, every minute she's alive, we're in danger.
42:53 Lolly's in danger.
42:55 Now, go on up and do what you have to do.
42:59 Now.
43:01 Get in the car and sink it.
43:02 Shut up.
43:06 You want them to come and take Lolly away?
43:10 Like they took your own mother away?
43:13 You want to lose Lolly like that?
43:16 Get out of here.
43:17 Get out!
43:19 Oh, you're a Herrod, all right.
43:22 All bluster.
43:24 No belly.

44:30 I can't.
44:31 I can't.
44:32 You want her to tell everybody about Lolly?
44:34 Pick it up.
44:36 Get on with it!
44:37 No, you made me come here, but you can't make me do that.
44:40 Oh, you're turning on me, are you?
44:42 I'll fix you.
44:45 You and your sister!
44:47 [screaming]
44:51 Victor!
44:53 Victor!
44:55 Victor!
44:59 Oh, no!
45:03 Oh, you think you've cornered our little demon, do you?
45:08 Well, let's see!
45:10 [music]
45:19 You don't believe your eyes, do you?
45:22 Look good!
45:24 [screaming]
45:34 Well, look!
45:36 This is the real secret of this house.
45:42 My power to do this.
45:47 Victor!
45:49 Penny!
45:50 Victor!
45:51 Penny!
45:52 Johnny!
45:53 I drew them out of their minds, and I'm going to kill the rest of them, like this!
46:00 Penny!
46:01 I--
46:02 [crash]
46:04 Victor!
46:05 Penny!
46:06 [screaming]

46:40 There's your demon, Mr. Howard.
46:43 Wasn't invisible at all.
46:45 It was Granny.
46:47 There was no poltergeist.
46:50 There was never any evil spirit.
46:53 It was Granny all the time.
46:56 Why, she knew the secret of levitation.
47:00 She could cause things to rise and fly through the air without touching them.
47:04 Well, if you were willing to believe in demons, why not this, Mr. Howard?
47:10 I saw it happen with my own eyes.
47:13 She knew the secret of levitation, and she was using it to destroy you and your family.
47:21 It's not possible.
47:25 Well, think.
47:26 Think back.
47:28 Did your demon ever act up when Granny wasn't present?
47:35 And there's your proof.
47:38 And the Herods can start living again without fear.
47:45 Because your evil demon is gone, Mr. Howard.
47:53 It's gone forever.
