Emma is a single wealthy business woman who meets the man of her dreams. Unfortunately he is not the man she believes him to be. Weird things start happening and Emma believes she is being haunted by Matthew’s first wife. Lots of strange things start happening to her. My thought was in this day and time why would you not take a picture with your phone of weird things to prove they were real. Instead she just keeps on believing Matthew when he says they didn’t happen. I got a little irritated that she went from a successful CEO to someone who was fooled by weird things.
