Plot summary
A group of paranormal investigators is handed video cameras and asked to spend a night in an abandoned house in St. Francisville, Louisiana, where hauntings are reported. Those taking part include a psychic, a ghost authority, a historian, a ghost hunter, a videographer, a producer and a voodoo priestess. The property's past is tied to Delphine LaLaurie, a New Orleans socialite of the early 1800s whom stories accuse of torturing and killing enslaved people. The cameras record the rooms and hallways as the hours pass, and odd events surface early, though each one appears to have a plain explanation. The four keep filming, unsettled and unsure whether anything supernatural shares the house with them.
