Complete story — includes the ending

In the small town of Bagley, Iowa, a family of four: Craig and Kimberly Atkins and their two young daughters, move into a farmhouse in 2013. It was originally owned by Craig's grandmother Linda who sells it to them at a low price after her husband dies. A few days later, the couple's four-year-old daughter Cheylin has made a new "imaginary" friend named Jacob. Kimberly notices this and gets suspicious when her daughter describes him in great detail. She and Craig wake up that night to see what they believed was an intruder in the house. The guy runs off and is nowhere to be found. Craig changes all of the locks. One day, the girls' room is destroyed. Kimberly feels that the man she's seen in the house is a ghost. While Craig and Kimberly are in the kitchen, a pan moves by itself and flies across the room nearly hitting Cheylin when she walks in. Craig and Kimberly go to a library to pull up records on the property and learn from an elderly woman that a chemical plant once stood where the house is and unfortunately burned down and no one knew how it started. Three men lost their lives there and one of the workers who died was named Jacob. After a funeral attempt and house cleansing to put Jacob at peace fails, the family finally leaves the house.
