It's strange how the children seem to find the ghosts before the parents ever do. Carol Ann, the youngest daughter in a family that had just bought a house, made the first contact. She said that the people were talking to her through the TV. They told her things and tried to befriend her. Eventually they kidnapped her and took her into their world. Things still went wrong around the house even after her disappearance. Things flew around, other things were broken. But her parents could still talk to her, through the TV. They hired a medium and some parapsychologists to help them find out how to get her back. After a while of searching they found the gateway and sent the mother in to get her. When they came out, they were covered in pink goo. The family decided to move the next day, but that was not soon enough. The house and the poltergeists tried again, skeletons surfaced in the pool, and the house swallowed itself shortly after the family escaped. Lesson: There are ghosts in the TV and you can hear them if you sit close enough to it. Keep your children away from the TV, tell them not to sit close. Because we all know the real reason, it's not bad for your eyes, it that there are bad spirits in there.
