Haunted or Hoax

- Season 1

(2016)

Casey and Jac arrive at Grantham House and meet the house's owner, Ellia.

Casey, Jac, and Ellia settle into the house, despite the lack of power or heat, and set up the filming equipment.

Casey tells her audience about her first impressions of the house.

Casey, Jac, and Ellia all sit down to lunch together. Casey and Jac come to find Ellia is a little less than enthused to talk to them.

As the girls settle in for their first night in the house, Jac wakes up thinking something touched her face while she was sleeping.

Casey and Jac look over the footage from the night before to see if they can find out what touched Jac in her sleep.

Casey sets up a vision board of her research on one of the walls in the house. While she and Jac are looking over the research, Ellia confronts them about their lack of experience and professional equipment.

Ellia helps Casey look through loves notes she's found exchanged between the original owners of the house. Casey convinces Ellia to agree to an interview for the website.

The girls hear what sounds like footsteps upstairs. Casey has to play peacekeeper between Jac and Ellia when they start arguing about what's really upstairs.

Casey ends up listening in on Jac and Ellia having another argument. We find out Ellia has more personal ties to the house than we once believed.

Casey confronts Ellia about the information she'd been hiding. The power finally comes on, only for a light bulb to burst right over Ellia and Casey's heads.

We see Casey has a cut on her hand from diving over Ellia to protect her from the glass. Jac and Ellia start up another argument, which Casey has to break up yet again. Casey and Jac talk about why the light bulb might have exploded while Jac patches up Casey's cut.

Casey and Ellia sit down for their interview and Casey quickly finds Ellia is still not willing to talk.

Casey tells Ellia about what led her to Grantham and how she's been having dreams about it since she started researching it.

Ellia gives Casey a picture of her mom to help with Casey's vision board. Jac and Casey talk about what Casey's dreams might mean.

Casey wakes up from a nightmare and Jac and Ellia do their best to calm her down.

Casey and Ellia talk about Casey's dream from the night before over breakfast. Jac comes back from the store and Ellia immediately goes back to her old ways, leaving quickly. Casey gets Jac to agree to trying to be nicer to Ellia.

Ellia offers to draw the woman that had plagued Casey's dreams in the hopes of making her feel better. Casey tries to catch up on the sleep she missed the night before ends up having another nightmare. Jac tries to convince her they should leave the house for a couple of days but Casey has other plans; she thinks they should try and get upstairs.

Casey and Ellia talk about the plan to go upstairs. Ellia reads Casey a letter from her mom warning her to stay away from Grantham, hoping that will convince Casey to leave.

The girls head upstairs to try and find out what they can. Casey recounts the story to her audience. After she, Jac, and Ellia are all patched up and Jac is asleep, Ellia starts asking about Jac and Casey's friendship.

Casey and Ellia look through the journal of one of the original owners, Emily Grantham. They come to find the gardener seemed to have feelings for Lady Grantham, but she'd been solely focused on a desire for children. They come to the conclusion of who might have been the killer.

The girls hold a seance in the hopes of helping the spirits in the house pass on.

Jac and Ellia try to convince Casey they need to leave the house but Casey is still adamant in her refusal to go. Ellia says she's leaving, and the next morning she uses the always running webcam to say goodbye to Casey and Jac.

Ellia comes storming back into the house because of the blizzard outside; a travel warning had been issued so nobody is going anywhere. She tells Casey and Jac about how her ancestry connects her to the house more than they'd known, and how that puts her in imminent danger.

The girls all desperately search for a way to save Ellia. Casey and Ellia end up arguing over how the other should be somewhere safe instead of at Grantham, but Jac pulls them over to the vision board. They find out some critical information about the original owners that might help them to save Ellia.

While the girls discuss the information they've just unearthed, Ellia mentions she's suffering a severe headache, which ends up leading to her going to lie down in the other room. Jac uses the chance of Ellia being out of the room to tell Casey she has feelings for her, but their heart to heart is interrupted when Ellia screams.

Casey and Jac help Ellia to the couch, where she tells them about what happened. They find she's been branded on her chest and wrists. After a little digging, they come to find the brands are the symbol of the goddess of witchcraft, who was invoked to put a curse on Ellia's family.

Casey researches ancient curses while Jac tries to help Ellia. Casey and Jac find out which curse has been used and Jac goes looking for the paper it's been inscribed on. Ellia ends up going into the kitchen and Casey follows her, trying to figure out what she's doing. Ellia warns Casey to stay back, but it's too late; Ellia becomes possessed by the ghost of Lady Grantham.

Jac's been hit in the head by a hammer Lady Grantham made Ellia throw. Casey calls out to Ellia, pleading her to fight the spirit possessing her. Lady Grantham laments on the wrong doings her husband and the woman he had cheated on her with had done to her, and tells Casey that's why Ellia has been sentenced to death. Casey tries to reason with the ghost, but in the end her forgiveness to the people who had committed the wrongdoings saves Ellia from death.

Ellia, free of the spirit possessing her, tells Casey she owes her a life debt. They kiss, and shortly after Jac wakes up, woozy but alright, and asks what happened. We pick up the next morning, as Casey is finishing up her last video, concluding the Grantham's story and saying goodbye.
