Haunted Plot Summary

What happens in Haunted from start to finish, spoilers included, with a timeline of 15 key events. The opening is below; the full summary is a 3-minute read.

Spoilers ahead

In 1928 England, David Ash, a professor of parapsychology, has spent much of his life trying to debunk the existence of ghosts, haunted by the death of his twin sister Juliet Ash when they were children. After Juliet’s death, he and his mother moved to America, seeking distance from the past that still clung to him.

During a laboratory séance, he exposes the medium’s tricks, only to be startled when a voice that sounds like Juliet calls his name. The incident blurs the line between skepticism and something troublingly real, drawing him back toward the very mysteries he rejects.
