• Diane Freeling : You were saying about poltergeists.

  Dr. Lesh : Poltergeists are usually associated with an individual. Hauntings seem to be connected with an area. A house usually.

  Marty : Poltergeist disturbances are of a fairly short duration. Perhaps a couple of months. Hauntings can go on for years.

  Diane Freeling : Are you telling me that all of this could just suddenly end at any time?

  Dr. Lesh : Yes, it could. Unless it's a haunting. But hauntings don't usually revolve around living people.

  Diane Freeling : Then we don't have much time, Dr. Lesh, because my daughter is alive somewhere inside this house.

• Diane Freeling : Ahhh... this is probably going to be seem a little strange. We hear better on this channel. Don't ask me why. Well... ah... I guess I will call her. Carol Anne. Ah... it's mommy, sweetheart. Ah, we want to talk to you. Please answer me, baby. Please answer me. Please talk to me, bunny.

  Marty : Look at the dog.

  Diane Freeling : Are you with us now? Can you... can you say hello to daddy?

  Carol Anne Freeling : Hello, daddy.

  Steve Freeling : Hello, sweet pea.

  Diane Freeling : It's mommy, sweetheart.

  Carol Anne Freeling : Hello, mommy.

  Diane Freeling : Hello, baby. Can you see me? Can you see mommy?

  Carol Anne Freeling : Mommy? Where are you? Where are you?

  Diane Freeling : We're home, baby. We're home. Can you find me? Can you find a way to us, baby?

  Carol Anne Freeling : Mommy, where are you? I can't find you. I can't. I'm afraid of the light, mommy. I'm afraid of the light.

• Marty : There's been some ionization flux. I'd like to make sure it's not caused by humidity coming from structural leakage, but I'm not goin' up there to find out.

  Ryan : We have got much more than the paranormal episode taking place here.

  Marty : There's measurable physical science in this house that goes far beyond any of the creaking doors or cold spots I've ever experienced.

  Dr. Lesh : The voice source on television, where is it coming from?

  Ryan : The absence of a signal on the channel that is not receiving a broadcast means that it is free to receive a lot of noise from all sorts of things, like short waves.

  Marty : Solar disturbances, car ignition sparkings...

  Ryan : Outer space... or inner space. Yes, what if these people had an area of bi-location in their own living room? No, I mean: if that is the way out then maybe somewhere in this house, there's a way in.
