Lorraine saw. She describes it to the other investigators who do not witness it. Elise explains that Dalton is not in a coma; he was born with the ability to astral travel and had been unknowingly doing so while asleep, probably believing he was dreaming. This time he has travelled too far and has been captured in a purgatory dimension called "The Further", a place inhabited by the tortured spirits of the deceased. Without his psychological presence, his body is comatose, but spirits desire to use it so they can re-enter the physical world, some because they want to live again, some because they want to harm others. Josh makes Elise leave but when he sees the drawings of Dalton in his room, and they confirm the truth: Dalton has been dreaming and astral projecting; Josh cries. Elise returns and performs a séance to communicate with Dalton. He warns them of the creature with fire on his face. Elise screams and seems to faint. The creature possesses Dalton's body and attacks the group before being stopped by Elise. She explains that she's known Lorraine for decades, and had previously helped Josh when he was eight. It is revealed that Josh also possesses the ability to astral project, though he had suppressed his memory of it years ago. Elise had helped him protect himself from the parasitic spirit of an evil old woman that wanted to possess him. The only way to rescue Dalton is for Josh to go into The Further and save him. Elise puts Josh in a trance and he is able to project to their previous home. He fights off one spirit that has been tormenting them and enters the creature's lair through a red door where he finds Dalton chained. He frees him, but they are chased and attacked by the creature while the spirits of the Further invade the real world and terrorize Renai, Elise, and the others. After escaping, Josh confronts the elderly woman that tormented him as a child, trying once and for all to overcome his fear. The elderly woman laughs and appears to retreat from him. When Josh and Dalton return to their physical form, the spirits have all disappeared from their house. The family celebrates their victory, but Elise senses that something is amiss about Josh. When she snaps a photo of him, Josh becomes angry and suffocates her. Renai
