6. Tunnel of Death

Complete story — includes the ending

In Grundy, Virginia, a young couple, Candace and Jon Sinclair, go to investigate the tunnels beneath the foothills in the spring of 2010. The tunnels are believed to be haunted by a group of slaves who were sealed up alive in the walls as a result of one of them being accused by their slave master of having an affair with his wife, causing them to rebel which led to their punishment. Candace and Jon return home and unbeknownst to them, a demon from the tunnels has followed them and is now haunting their house. The couple's five-year-old daughter Jacie has trouble sleeping and sleepwalks into her parents' room. While sewing, Candace hears the sound of glass breaking downstairs and goes down there to discover all of the dishes broken. There were no intruders in the house. One night when Candace goes to turn the heat down, she is grabbed by a demon. The next day she comes face to face with it, terrifying her. Other instances happen such as the television set turning channels on its own and Candace getting choked by the gargoyle and receiving scratches; the latter situation Jon brushes off as her having a bad dream and falling out of bed. Candace does a prayer that temporarily stops the paranormal activity. It eventually resumes and the demon makes its presence known to Jon in a dream where it tears his heart out. After Jon wakes up and goes downstairs, the demon attacks him for real, lifting him up in the air by his neck and choking him. The couple calls paranormal investigator Stacy Cookenour to uncover who the entity is. They realize that the entity came from the tunnels and attached itself to Candace. The family calls a pastor to cleanse the house which seemingly works. However, one day, the family is about to leave for an outing. After Candace goes upstairs to get her purse and is about to come back down, she sees what appears to be Jacie sitting on her bed in her room. Candace sees the real Jacie downstairs with Jon. The figure turns around towards Candace and is revealed to be the demon disguised as Jacie with bloody scratches and dark eyes. It rushes towards Candace, then flies downstairs and scratches Jacie. Candace angrily yells at the demon from downstairs to leave her family alone and to hurt her instead. The family finally leaves the house with the demon still there.
