Detailed Synopsis

As Kristen is walking through the woods to the meeting, David stops her and gives her a birthday present. She thanks him and tells him that she will open it after the meeting. As Eric is doing a trick for Kiki, Frank almost makes him choke and Gary has to separate them from fighting. Betty Ann hands David the sack of powdery material and he introduces it by saying that his tale has to do with two very different kids and a love so strong it can survive death.

It was the beginning of summer vacation and Amanda is staying with her Aunt Dottie and cousin Beth while Amanda's parents did their summer research studying Inuit stone carvings. Aunt Dottie and Amanda arrive at Aunt Dottie's home and Aunt Dottie calls to Beth to let her know Amanda has arrived, but Beth ignores her. Amanda hears a noise coming from the house next door and Aunt Dottie tells her that no one has lived there in years and says that as its real estate agent, she thinks sometimes the house doesn't want to be sold. Aunt Dottie takes Amanda up to Beth's room and after Aunt Dottie leave, Beth tells Amanda that she doesn't plan on hanging out with her and that in order for Beth to let Amanda hang out with her and her friends, she has to prove she isn't a total dork. Amanda asks what she has to do to prove she isn't a dork and Beth says Amanda has to clean Beth's room everyday, she can't snitch and she has to go through an initiation. She continues that the initiation consists of staying the night in the house next door, which is haunted. During the night as Amanda is writing a letter to her parents, she hears a noise and meets Beth's Nanny. Nanny holds out her hand to Amanda, but Beth opens her door and tells her if she touches Nanny's contaminated wrinkly old hand, she won't let her touch anything of hers again. Nanny leaves and Amanda asks Beth about her and Beth tells her that Nanny is crazy and has a connection to the haunted house next door. Beth tells Amanda that Sally is having a pool party, but Amanda can't come unless she goes through the initiation. In the morning, as Amanda is walking down the stairs with Beth's clothes to wash, Nanny is walking up the stairs, but trips and Nanny drops a locket. Amanda picks it up and hands it to her and Nanny takes Beth's laundry from Amanda and offers to clean it. Nanny and Amanda hear Beth and Aunt Dottie arguing about Nanny and before leaving, Beth tells Amanda not to touch her stuff. Before Amanda's initiation, Beth tells her a long time ago a little girl lived next door who was picked on by the other kids, because she couldn't talk and Sally thinks maybe the girl was deaf. She continues that the little girl's mother sent her to go stay with her grandmother while she left to take care of the little girl's father, but the little girl ran back to her house after she was teased by the other kids and the kids locked her in her bedroom and the little girl starved to death. Beth tells Amanda that she has to go to the little girl's bedroom and to use a flashlight to prove she is in it. Amanda goes into the house and hears the sound of laughing.
