As Gabbie calls the moving company, Travis checks out his new home where the front doors open on their own when Travis turns his back. When entering the mansion, Travis quickly becomes uneasy due to hearing voices and whispers throughout the hallway. When trying to get settled into the mansion, Travis gets creeped out by a painting of a bride, causing him to uncover it with a bedsheet. However, Travis quickly gets haunted by a ghost of the bride from the painting, causing him to scream in terror. He tries to tell his mother, but Gabbie doesn't believe him until she encounters a ghost in a knight's armor. This causes Travis and his mother to leave the mansion, but several of ghosts follow them and eventually force them return to the mansion no matter where and how far away they went.
