Bruyne Cavendish was a teenager of fourteen. He was good in studies, but something was wrong with him. He always looked tense, as if he is afraid of something everytime. We all tried to find out what's wrong with him, but he wouldn't say a word. Now we were super curious about him, so we decided to talk to his sister, Rina who stays in the countryside. When we went to their maternal farmhouse where Bruyne's sister lived, she told us the whole story.

The Cavendish family lived together in this farmhouse. They had three children, Bruyne Cavendish, Rina Cavendish and Julie Cavendish. At first everything was all right. Their life was full of happiness and joy. But suddenly things took a wrong turn...

After Bruyne's eleventh birthday, one morning, a man, who was a retired lawyer came to their farmhouse. He claimed that the farmhouse actually belonged to the Priestley family. "The Priestley family are no longer in this world, so you and your family must leave this farmhouse as soon as possible" he claimed.
Now Mr. Cavendish didn't want to listen to some kind of a retired lawyer. "This is our maternal farmhouse and we are not leaving it" said Mr. Cavendish. The man replied "It's not your farmhouse, it belongs to the Priestley family. And if you don't leave it right now then you'll never be able to make it out of the house". Saying this the man suddenly vanished in the thin air. The Cavendish family was a bit shocked, but they ignored the man. From then on paranormal activities started happening in their farmhouse. Food would go missing and stuffs seemed to move. Mr. and Mrs. Cavendish were very afraid. One morning everyone found Julie's dead body hanging from the ceiling. Mr. Cavendish called the police. As there was nobody else living in the area, Mr and Mrs Cavendish were thought to be guilty. They were hanged as a punishment. Now Bruyne was living with his aunt in the city and Rina was trapped in the farmhouse forever... No matter how Rina tried, a negative energy was stopping her from getting out of the house.

Later when everyone investigated on this matter they got to know that the farmhouse belonged to the Priestley family. They were killed by the Cavendish family, who later gained control over the farmhouse.
