- October 4, 2018
In season 11, episode 5 of A Haunting, titled "Ashes to Evil," we are taken on a chilling and supernatural journey through the experiences of a family living in a small Indiana town. The episode opens with the family purchasing and moving into a new home, a decision they quickly begin to regret as strange occurrences begin to unfold.
At first, the family experiences seemingly harmless incidents, such as objects being moved or misplaced in the home and doors opening and closing on their own. However, as time goes on, the activity intensifies and takes on a much more sinister tone.
The family members begin to experience vivid and terrifying nightmares, with one family member describing an ominous figure that appears to be made entirely of ashes and smoke. The figure appears to be malevolent, and its presence is felt throughout the entire home.
As the supernatural activity reaches its peak, the family seeks the help of a paranormal investigation team to try and understand what is happening in their home. The investigation reveals a dark and tragic history of the house, including a previous resident who died in a fire and whose ashes were scattered in the backyard.
The team conducts a thorough investigation of the property, using various tools such as electromagnetic field detectors and temperature sensors to search for evidence of paranormal activity. They also interview past residents of the home and other individuals with knowledge of the home's history.
As the investigation continues, the team discovers that the ashes of the previous homeowner may be responsible for the haunting in the home. According to local legend, scattering someone's ashes without following certain rituals and procedures can result in the deceased person's spirit becoming trapped and unable to move on to the afterlife.
In an effort to rid the home of the haunting, the team performs a cleansing ceremony, which involves burning sage and other herbs to cleanse the space and rid it of negative energy. After the ceremony, the family reports a significant decrease in supernatural activity, and they feel more at peace in their home.
Overall, "Ashes to Evil" is a gripping and unsettling episode that explores the dark and often unexplained world of the paranormal. It is a reminder that even in the most innocent and seemingly mundane of settings, unimaginable darkness can lurk just beneath the surface.
