In a distant corner of the world, not Australia or New Zealand, but a place known only to a few, a family embarked on a journey that would forever alter the course of their lives. The family of three, parents and their three children, ventured far from home due to their father’s mysterious work commitments.
Their new residence was nestled in a quaint neighborhood, a place called Remuera in a city named Auckland. For the first few months, life in their rented home was peaceful, but as time passed, an unsettling undercurrent began to weave its way through their lives.
Tensions between the parents escalated, leading to constant arguments that reverberated through the once-harmonious household. One fateful night, when the children were left to their own devices, a simple game of hide and seek would forever change their perception of reality.
The children heard familiar knocking at the front door, a sound that should have brought comfort, but this time it sent shivers down their spines. Eager to welcome their parents home, one of the siblings, not the sister or brother from the original story, approached the door. However, an inexplicable force prevented them from turning the handle and opening it.
Confusion turned to fear as they struggled against the unseen barrier. Their father’s voice pierced the air, filled with anger and frustration, accusing them of playing tricks. Their mother, in a state of hysteria, pressed her trembling hand against the doorknob, and, as if responding to her touch, the door swung open.
From that moment on, their lives descended into a bewildering series of weekly events. Flowerpots inexplicably overturned, objects vanished without a trace, light switches flicked on and off at will, and, most chilling of all, fresh cuts appeared on their father’s forehead as if carved by an invisible hand.
The family’s once-peaceful existence was shattered, and they could no longer ignore the malevolent presence that seemed to have taken residence in their home. The haunting, relentless disturbances threatened to tear them apart, wreaking havoc on their sanity and unity.
Ultimately, they made a difficult decision to sever their ties with the haunted house, ending their lease and hoping to leave their paranormal tormentor behind. Little did they know that the enigmatic force, known only as “IT,” might continue to shadow their lives, its mysteries and malevolence lurking in the shadows, waiting for an opportunity to resurface.
