On September 27, 1859, the newspaper reported that the funeral home in the English town of Alesbury had started construction, and the funeral director was an outsider Daggmar. Dagmar is a veteran soldier who participated in the Crimean War (1853.7-1855.12). Together with his wife Eloise and daughter Fiona, came to settle in the town. The report mentioned that as soon as the ground-breaking ceremony of the funeral home was over, a 4-minute earthquake occurred in the town, accompanied by a continuous rumbling.

On November 13, 1859, the newspaper reported the mysterious death of horses, cattle, sheep and other domestic animals in the town. Follow-up reports mentioned that the town’s crops were also “cursed”. Many people in the town believe in Christianity, and many people suspect that they did not know how to offend God and were punished by God.

On December 27, 1859, the newly built funeral home was destroyed by a mysterious fire, and the Dagmar family of three disappeared (the remains were not found). According to the scene, the police deduced that a fire broke out in the house late at night, and there were a lot of debris from burnt daily necessities in the room. The newspaper mentioned that the Dagmar family had been involved in some kind of scandal, which caused public outrage.

On June 19, 1860, Frederick Mccabe, the new mayor of Alesbury, was formally appointed by his superiors (before that he had taken over as mayor without government appointment). The newspaper pointed out that he had 30,000 loyal supporters, and mentioned that the previous town leaders were "stupid" and did nothing, and Frederick Mccabe was "the heart of the people."

(Inference: The situation in the town continued to deteriorate after November 13, 1859, and more and more townspeople took it for granted that the Dagmar family of three outsiders angered God and brought disaster. In the case of the original mayor’s opposition, Frederick Mccabe instigated and organized some The townspeople set fire to the funeral home on the evening of December 26, 1859, and burned the Dagmar family alive. Afterwards, the town returned to calm, and the Dagmar family’s bones and scum were also interpreted as a miracle. Frederick Mccabe was in the town. Replaced the original mayor with the support of).

The Dagmar family began various accidents in Alesbury in 1889, and the town was shrouded in death. The townspeople realized that the judgment of the older generation might be problematic (not to eliminate the heresy but to sacrifice to the evil god), so they tricked the outsiders into staying in Dagmar House at a low price and planned to organize another fire sacrifice. Unexpectedly, the homeowner was directly killed by the Dagmar family to complete the sacrifice, and Alesbury continued for another 30 years.

By 1919, the townspeople were already very proficient. As soon as the drought began to appear in the ground, a series of sacrifice operations had been completed. The Dagmar family was once again reduced to tool ghosts. The town resumed normal precipitation only on July 8, 1919.

In 1949, the townspeople sold the house to Charles Warren's family of four at a low price, and then waited for the tool ghost Dagmar to kill. However, it was later stated in the newspaper that Charles was a retired hero who had participated in World War II. This made Dagma, who had the same experience, been unable to take action, and the townspeople did not take any action to wait. The disaster in Alesbury continued to escalate and the town was in the meantime. There were crazy abortions of pregnant women, the spread of the mysterious plague, earthquakes, and the blackening of the river. By November 12, 1949, a total of 35 people had died in the town. The government could not find a scientific explanation. Later, the Alesbury border was blocked and implemented. Town quarantine.

On November 22, 1949, the newspaper reported that Charles Warren's family of four was missing. Relatives outside the area made a lot of noise and demanded that the town be handed over. The mayor strongly condemned the newspaper media's aggressive reporting of the family's disappearance, saying that it caused panic and distress among other townspeople. On November 28, the river near Alesbury finally became clear.

The above is the background of the feature film.

I think Bobby's ghost is always there. In the film, the heroine flashed a flashlight into the black hole of Cthulhu while in the basement, and was attracted by Bobby's ghost (Bobby's written on the baseball glove); Dagmar stood behind her to take action, and his son appeared to protect his mother (rolling down Baseball); the heroine was sitting on the sofa and smelled of smoke (Dagmar's family came up from the basement), and Bobby's picture frame fell directly from the wall; the time the hero was woken up in the middle of the night was also shocked by Bobby. (I heard my son talking directly); Later, Bobby also uttered a voice to ask his parents to run away from the house.

Cthulhu has already received this sacrifice after the death of the spirit medium May's family. The townspeople and the mayor belonged to the mortal enemies of the Dagmar family (the mayor Dave Mccabe is the offspring of Frederick Mccabe who organized the burning of the Dagmar family, and the other townspeople did the same thing), rushing into the house was purely seeking death. After Dave Mccabe's death, it can be seen that the grievances of the Dagmar family have basically dissipated, and the tool ghost mission has ended and been inhaled by the evil spirits in the basement.

At the end of the film, the evil spirits can't kill people directly after they get the sacrifices (the rules of the rivers and lakes), so they control (or imitate) Bobby and let the male and female protagonists go to the basement and become the new tool ghosts in the house (the protagonist faces the basement and asks: Bobby? It's a weird whisper).

Regarding Dave Mccabe's shooting of the waitress in the restaurant, it can be interpreted as the fact that for a long time the residents of the town have only regarded outsiders as sacrifices (the waitress knows nothing about the history of the haunted house, and the proprietress called her the new girl); the protagonist and the couple are half of them in the haunted house Moon was still alive, Dave Mccabe recalled a mental breakdown in 1949, which was close to madness (Dave Mccabe and his wife’s children should have been shed in 1949, which also explains that the restaurants in the small town and the last time they acted are all middle-aged towns. civil).
