The old woman turns out to be someone who worked at the orphange when Laura was there. Her son is the boy with the sack on his face, he was deformed and was hidden away from everyone at the orphanage. After Laura left her friends took him into the caves and took his mask off, he wouldn't come out and he drowned so the old woman poisoned all the children. Laura's hudband leaves the house and she stays to try and find Simon. She finds a door into a cellar under the stairs and Simon's body is down there. He was there the whole time and the banging Laura could hear the first night he disappeared was him trying to get out. Laura kills herself so that she can look after Simon and the ghosts of her friends.

Laura: 1, 2, 3. Toca la pared.
Question: The game they play near the start (the knock on wood game) seems pretty interesting. Is the point of it not to get caught moving or is there another goal? Also, can someone help me with the Spanish translation? I can't hear what the Spanish for Knock on Wood is. Thanks.
Chosen answer: It's a Spanish version of Red Light, Green Light where you'd try not to get caught moving. I haven't watched the film in a while but I believe she says "Uno, dos, tres, toca la pared". Hope that helps!
