My wife doesn't get spooked by this type of movie, but I sure do....felt the hairs standing up on the back of my neck a few times (I love a good scare!).

It sent me to the internet to check out the backstory....fascinating!

that lived in it. the original "witch" with her seven day old baby and then in the Thirties the woman and her little boy, Rory.

Have you see "Prisoners" with Hugh Jackman and Jake Gylenhall by any chance?
