Storyline
| Plot Summary |
Jessabelle "Jessie" Laurent is pregnant and agrees to move to her boyfriend's house to raise their own family. They get into a car accident; her boyfriend and baby die. Jessie survives but is seriously wounded, seriously grieving, and trapped in a wheelchair. The director of the hospital suggests that she contact her estranged father to help her, and Leon Laurent takes his daughter to his home in Louisiana and lodges her in her mother's room. Jessie snoops around the room and finds a videotape where her mother Kate is pregnant and reads tarot cards to her, telling her that she would never leave Louisiana, she is attracted by water, and another woman wants her out of the house. But Leon arrives and destroys the tape. The next morning, while Leon is out of the house, Jessie watches another videotape, in which her mother talks about Moses, the man who taught her to read cards. Jessie is haunted by the ghost of a woman, and her father discovers the two other videotapes she has hidden. When he tries to destroy them, something happens to him and he is burnt to death trapped in a shed. During the funeral, Jessie meets her high-school friend Preston Sanders (Mark Webber), who is unhappily married. Preston decides to help Jessie after watching the videotapes. Who is haunting Jessie?
