Complete story — includes the ending
An Atchison, Kansas, couple, Tony and Debra Pickman, move into their first home together. They are expecting their first child and soon after the baby's birth, strange occurrences begin to happen around the house. The couple soon learn that their house is haunted by the ghost of a seven-year-old girl named Sallie who is trying to warn them of an evil spirit lurking in the shadows. With the help of a professional paranormal researcher and psychic, the couple soon discovers the evil spirit that Sallie had been warning them about had been her mother. While outside, the mother explains to the psychic that she was a former slave and found employment in the doctor's (Sallie's father) home as a housemaid. They had an affair which lead to Sallie's birth. When Sallie was 7, her mother had ordered her to stay hidden from the doctor's immediate family so no one got suspicious. She was very angry at Sallie for disobeying her orders by running down the stairs which led to the guests finding out about their secret family. When Tony is attacked again by Sallie's mother, the couple moves away. The psychic believed Sallie's mother had attacked Tony and not Debra because she was punishing him for not accepting Sallie.
