Synopsis

Anthropologist Dr. John Markway is interested in the study of the supernatural, much to the chagrin of his wife, Grace Markway. He is able to convince Mrs. Sannerson, the current owner of isolated Hill House, to let him bring a research team into the house to search for supernatural phenomena.

In its ninety year history, Hill House, located in remote New England, has been the location of many a violent and mysterious death of its inhabitants, Mrs. Sannerson being a distant relative of Abigail Crain's companion who inherited Hill House upon old Abigail Crain's death. The house has been handed down to the current owner, Mrs. Sannerson. She doesn't live at the house believing it to be haunted, but has one stipulation: that her Midwestern nephew Luke Sannerson, the spoiled and immature supposed heir of the house, be part of that research team.

The other two members of the team, who Dr. Markway has not yet met but hired solely based one issue he knows about each, are surname-less Theodora - "Theo" - and Eleanor Lance - "Nell" - the former a somewhat glib psychic, the latter who grew up with some supernatural phenomena which she would rather forget. Eleanor is a meek and nervous woman who has felt trapped in most of her adult life, having to take care of her invalid mother until her passing two months ago about which she feels some guilt in its occurrence. Currently living with her married sister, Eleanor sees this research as a vacation, realistically an escape from her current sad life.

As the research progresses, the four members truly begin to believe that there is something supernatural about their environment. But Eleanor begins to feel connected to the house, and what is happening in it... or is she just justifying it as a better replacement for her current life?
