An American Haunting

John Bell was molesting his eldest daughter Betsy Bell which 'upset' the spirit haunting them. Lucy Bell knew about it but stayed silent. The spirit convinces Betsy to poison her father to cease the hauntings, she complies as Lucy looks on. Cut back to the present and the latest occupant realises her daughter's being molested by her own father too.
