Dr. Montague, an occult scholar, has decided to do a study of the effects that psychics and people who have experienced the paranormal would have on a truly haunted house. Dr. Montague commissioned many people to come to the house for a few months, but only got responses from two, Theodora (Psychic) and Eleanor (experienced the paranormal as a child). He also took along the young man that would inherit the house known as Hill House, Luke. Their first night at the house things began to happen. As time went on, it seemed that the house was targeting Eleanor. It wrote things on the wall, and tricked her to climb up a very unsteady staircase. That almost killed both her and Montague. Finally, the group decided that it was too dangerous to have her in the house any longer. She claimed that the house wanted her, and she wanted the house. She was sick of being alone and had nowhere else to go. When they tried to get her to leave, she took matters into her own hands. On the way down the curving road, she "lost control" of her car and ran it into a tree, and there she meet her demise. She and the house got what they both wanted, a companion.
