The Presence, episode 9 of the third season of A Haunting, follows the story of a family who is terrorized by an unknown entity. The episode begins with Laura and Tom moving into their new home in the countryside with their two young children. As soon as they move in, strange occurrences begin to happen, like doors opening and closing on their own and footsteps heard in empty rooms. At first, they brush off these experiences as just being part of adjusting to their new environment.
However, as time goes on, the experiences become more intense and frightening. The family starts seeing apparitions and shadows, and objects begin to move on their own. Laura and Tom start to feel like they are being watched all the time, and the feeling of fear becomes overwhelming. They start to keep their children close, always afraid that something might happen to them.
As things get worse, they decide to call in a paranormal investigator, who immediately senses that the entity in the house is powerful and malevolent. The investigator sets up cameras and audio equipment to try to capture evidence of the haunting. What they capture is chilling - they hear voices, footsteps, and see objects moving on their own. They also capture video evidence of an apparition that seems to be watching the family, and one of their children is affected physically by the entity, with unexplained marks appearing on their body.
The investigator recommends the family seeks help from a psychic, who comes to the house immediately. The psychic senses that the entity is a male spirit, who is angry and has a strong attachment to the house. She tries to communicate with the entity, but it doesn't respond and becomes more aggressive. The family starts to worry that they might never be able to get rid of the entity and they feel hopeless.
They decide to move out of the house, but things only get worse. The entity follows them to their new apartment, and things happen that can't be explained. The family starts to unravel and becomes increasingly paranoid and stressed. They feel like they are trapped, and that they can't escape the entity's presence.
In a last-ditch effort to rid themselves of the entity, they seek the help of a priest. The priest comes to their house and performs a ritual to expel the entity. It works, and the family is finally free from the presence that had been haunting them for months. However, they are left scarred by the experience, and the memory of the entity's presence lingers with them long after they leave the house.
Overall, The Presence is a haunting and chilling episode that will leave viewers on the edge of their seats. The story of a family terrorized by a malevolent spirit is both frightening and harrowing, and the episode is a testimony to the power of malevolent entities and the importance of seeking help when dealing with the supernatural. The episode is sure to send chills down viewers' spines, and will stay with them long after it's finished.
