Plot

The scene is set on the island of Jersey, in the immediate aftermath of World War Two. The Bailiwick of Jersey ( Jèrriais: Jèrri) is a British Crown dependency off the coast of Normandy, France. World War II, or the Second World War, (often abbreviated WWII) was a global military conflict which involved a majority of the world's nations, including Grace Stewart is a Roman Catholic young mother, who lives with her two small children in a remote country house. The children, Anne and Nicholas, have a strange disease including photosensitivity (perhaps erythropoietic protoporphyria), so their lives are structured around a series of complex rules designed to protect them from inadvertent exposure to sunlight. Photosensitivity is the amount to which an object reacts upon receiving Photons especially Visible light. Erythropoietic protoporphyria (EPP is a relatively mild form of Porphyria, although very painful which arises from a deficiency in the enzyme Ferrochelatase, leading

The new arrival of three servants at the house (an aging nanny, an elderly gardener, and a young mute girl) coincides with a number of odd events, and Grace begins to fear that they are not alone. A nanny is a person who looks after the child or children of one family in the child's home A gardener is any person involved in the growing and maintenance of plants notably in a Garden. Anne draws pictures of four people — a man, a woman, a boy called Victor and a scary old woman — which she wrote 14 next to. whom she says she has seen in the house. A piano is heard from outside of the locked music room when no one is inside. Every time Grace enters and exit the room the door closes, but while trying to figure out why, the door slams on her face knocking her to the floor. . . Grace tries hunting down the "intruders" with a shotgun but cannot find them. A shotgun (also known as a scattergun) is a Firearm that is usually designed to be fired from the shoulder which uses the energy of a fixed shell to fire a number She scolds her daughter for nonsense about ghosts until she hears them herself. A ghost is said to be the apparition of a Deceased person frequently similar in appearance to that person and usually encountered in places she or he frequented Eventually convincing herself that something unholy is in the house, she runs out in the fog to get the local priest to bless the house. A priest or priestess is a person having the authority or power to administer religious rites in particular rites of sacrifice to and propitiation of a deity or deities Meanwhile, the servants, led by the ageing Bertha Mills, are clearly up to something of their own. The gardener buries three gravestones under autumn leaves, and Mrs. A headstone, tombstone or gravestone is a marker normally carved from stone, placed over or next to the site of a Burial Autumn (also known as fall in North American English) is one of the four Temperate Seasons Autumn marks the transition from Summer In Botany, a leaf is an above-ground Plant organ specialized for Photosynthesis. Mills listens faithfully to Anne's allegations against her mother later.

Out in the forest, Grace loses herself in the heavy fog, but miraculously discovers her husband Charles and brings him back to the house. However, Charles is distant, lonely, and stays in bed most of the time. When Grace sees the old woman dressed up like her daughter and saying she is Anne, Grace says "you are not my daughter!" and attacks her. However, soon she finds that she has actually attacked her daughter instead. Anne refuses to be near her mother and Grace swears she saw the old woman. The servant lady tells Anne that she too has seen the people but they cannot tell the mother because Grace will not accept what she is not ready for. Charles is stunned when Anne tells him the things her mother did to her. Charles says he must leave for the front and after spending one night with Grace, he disappears again. After Charles leaves, Anne continues to see things, including Victor's whole family and the old woman. Grace breaks down to Mrs. Mills, who claims that "sometimes the world of the dead gets mixed up with the world of the living". The two women also find and examine a 'book of the dead', which shows mourning portraits taken in the 19th century of recently deceased corpses. Post-mortem photography (also known as memorial portraiture or memento mori) is the practice of photographing the recently deceased The 19th century of the Common Era began on January 1, 1801 and ended on December 31, 1900, according to the Gregorian calendar A cadaver or corpse is a dead Body.

One morning, Grace wakes to the children's screams: all of the curtains in the house have been removed, and are missing. A curtain (in the US also known as a drape or drapery) is a piece of Cloth intended to block or obscure Light, or Drafts, or House generally refers to a Shelter or Building that is a Dwelling or place for Habitation by Human beings. When the servants refuse to help look for them, Grace realizes that they are somehow involved. Hiding the children from the light, she banishes the servants from the house.

That night, Anne and Nicholas sneak out of the house to find their father, and stumble across the hidden graves. At the same time, Grace goes to the servants' quarters and finds a photograph from the book of the dead and is horrified to see that it is of the three servants. Meanwhile, the children discover that the graves belonged to the servants. The servants (or rather ghosts of the servants) appear and give chase to the children, who make it back into the house just as Grace emerges to hold off the servants with a shotgun. A shotgun (also known as a scattergun) is a Firearm that is usually designed to be fired from the shoulder which uses the energy of a fixed shell to fire a number The children run upstairs where they hide, but are found by the strange old woman. Downstairs, the servants continue talking to Grace, telling her that they have to learn to live together. She begins to understand what they mean. Upstairs, Anne and Nicholas discover the old woman is acting as a medium in a séance with Victor's parents. Mediumship is a practice in religious beliefs such as Spiritualism, Spiritism, Espiritismo, Candomblé, Louisiana Voodoo, and A séance (ˈsay-ons is an attempt to communicate with spirits The word " séance " comes from the French word for "seat" "session" It is then that they learn the awful truth: the old woman is not the one who is a ghost; the ghosts are Anne, Nicholas and their mother. Grace loses her temper and supernaturally attacks the visitors. The term supernatural or supranatural ( Latin: super, supra "above" + natura "nature" pertains to entities events This sequence is quickly intercut with scenes from both Grace's viewpoint and the family's.

The truth is finally clear to Grace and the audience: She breaks down with the children and remembers what happened just before the arrival of their new servants; yearning for the company of her missing husband and increasingly frustrated by her children, she smothered them both with a pillow and then, realizing what she had done, shot herself. A pillow is a large Cushion support for the head, usually used while Sleeping in a Bed, or for the body as used on a Couch or When she awoke, she assumed that God had granted her family a miracle. God is the principal or sole Deity in Religions and other belief systems that worship one deity. A miracle is an event believed to be caused by interposition of Divine intervention by a Supernatural being in the Universe by which the ordinary operation Grace and the children realize that Charles is also dead, but he was not aware of this fact. The female servant is heard telling the gardener "I do not think he knows where he is". Mrs. Mills appears and informs Grace that they will learn to get along, and sometimes they won't even notice the living people who inhabit their house. Outside, Victor's family — less than happy with their haunted house — pack up and move out. From the window, Grace and her children watch as they drive away. Grace ends the film with the line that "No one could make us leave this house. "
