Reader's Guide
While drawing an old clock she hears a voice telling her to join them, and her possessed hand sketches a book with a face. After Scott plays the tape of incantations found in the cellar, Cheryl goes into the woods and is attacked by possessed trees; she later turns into a white-eyed demon during a card game, stabs Linda in the ankle with a pencil and throws Ash into a shelf.
