Plot
Dr. James Riveror, an unorthodox university psychology professor, leads a team of people to the massive and antiquated Danmont mansion known as Cranmoor Acres in an attempt to record data which would constitute scientific proof of paranormal phenomena. The mansion is publicly thought to be haunted, as at least 12 people have either disappeared or died there. Riveror's team awakens the evil spirit residing in the house, leading to several deaths and the revelation of the mansion's deadly secrets.

History of Cranmoor Acres
The estate was purchased in 1881 by Archibald Cranmoor and the mansion was fully constructed by 1884. Archibald lived in the house with his wife Catherine and their two children, Edward and Dorothy.

In 1889, Edward was forced out of the house and banned from returning to the estate. Supposedly the reason behind this was because Archibald had found his son engaged in a sexual act with his own mother, though this was never confirmed.

In 1902, Archibald passed away. Edward returned from his travels for the funeral. According to attendees, Edward appeared different then when he first left, being much kinder, softer and less selfish. With him, he brought back three companions from other countries: Dada from Kumao, Zeng from Dao and Rebae from Eranope. Despite being forbidden from the estate, Archibald had for some strange reason willed the property to Edward, who accepted possession of it.
