After the mysterious death of his Aunt, a confirmed skeptic lawyer, Bryan Becket, dismisses reports that his Aunt's house is haunted and moves in. Immediately occurrences begin he cannot explain. And beyond the occurrences there is something about the house which gnaws at Becket - some strange connection he senses he has with the house's past. Soon, the haunting turns personal, he hears voices suggesting clues to a deep mystery. He questions his sanity, seeks medical help, but instead finds assistance in a young psychic who immediately declares, "There's a very bad secret in this house." Together they embark on a terrifying journey to uncover the secret - a journey which leads them deep into the recesses of The Skeptic's own troubled mind.

Movie Quote(s):
- [first lines] [Deputy Lura looks around the dark house with his flashlight] Deputy Lura: Miss Deaver? It's Deputy Lura, ma'am. Got a phone call from this house. Somebody hung up. Everything all right? Miss Deaver? [He hears a sound] Deputy Lura: Is somebody in there? I can hear you, you know. Miss Deaver, is that you? [His flashlight finds Dead Miss Deaver, who appears to have died of fright] Deputy Lura: Jesus!

[Bryan has just learned that his aunt is dead] Robin Becket: God, that's awful. Bryan Becket: Look at the bright side. We get the house. Robin Becket: What is the matter with you? Bryan Becket: Come on, Robin, don't suddenly act like we were all close. That woman was cold as hell to us. Robin Becket: That's not the point. Bryan Becket: What is the point, Robin? Robin Becket: The point is that when someone just dies is not a time to bad-mouth them. It's a time to say a prayer and count your own blessings. Bryan Becket: I am counting my blessings. I get the house.

Sully: You want to know what I think your problem with death is? Bryan Becket: Not really. Sully: You don't believe in anything. You know? You don't believe in a higher power, you don't believe in the afterlife, nothing. Bryan Becket: You're right. Life would be easier if I were gullible. Sully: You think I'm gullible, Beckett? Bryan Becket: Sully, you believe in everything. Sully: I don't believe in everything! Bryan Becket: Yes, you do. Sully: No. Bryan Becket: Okay. Didn't you once tell me you believed in the Loch Ness monster? Sully: Oh, they're gonna catch that sucker! You'll see.

Bryan Becket: I don't know what the military was covering up at Roswell. Does that make it aliens? Sully: No! But alien bodies on the ground made it aliens!

[Beckett and Sully drive up to the house] Sully: Oh my God, it's a monster. She lived there alone? I wouldn't be caught dead alone in there. It would creep me out. Bryan Becket: I can't wait to get in there. I hear there's all kinds of antiques, even a wine cellar. Sully: You hear? Oh, that's right. This is the aunt that didn't like you, so she never invited you over. Bryan Becket: I don't care if she didn't like me. She's dead now. I'm inviting myself over. Sully: Yeah, but why didn't she like you? Bryan Becket: Don't know. Sully: You know, I gotta admit I find this all very, very intriguing. Bryan Becket: Well, you also find astrology intriguing, and it's not.
