In 1953, in a kitchen of a rural house, the radio is on and an American gentleman is speaking about his Presidential ambition. A woman's scream is heard, blood splatters a wall calendar as a knife plunges into a woman.
Next a cellar door is opened, the killer drags the body down wooden stairs. At the bottom is a bag of cement, the killer picks up a spade and breaks open the bag, while whistling Greensleeves and snapping his fingers as he whistles.
Twenty years later Ray and Penny Burns are being shown around the same property, realtor Mr Kellet eager for a sale, the property empty since the previous owner Elizabeth Millington disappeared in 1953.
Weeks later Kellet returns and admires the upgrade the Burns' have made to the property. Penny says the only problem is the heating and she goes to the cellar door and calls out.
Penny " Mr Filson will you come up please."
A large rough looking man comes up.
Penny," Mr Kellet this is.."
Kellet, " hello Filson, what's the problem "
Filson, " can't find the pipes to the boiler, bloody cemented over, I'll have to dig up the floor."
Kellet, " is that necessary?"
Filson, " I assume you know your job, you assume I know mine."
Kellet, " you installed the system can't you remember where the pipes were?"
Filson, " that was twenty years ago when poor Miss Millington was here. ( Muttering to himself),bloody cementing over pipes."
Filson goes back into the cellar.
Penny," I take it you two don't get on."
Kellet, " everyone knows Filson round here, a gossiper and troublemaker."
After Kellet leaves Penny goes into cellar.
Penny, " Mr Filson, you said poor Miss Millington."
Filson, " disappeared she did, folks say she ran off with a man. I say she disappeared."
A day later Filson makes a gruesome discovery under the cemented cellar floor, a skeleton. A police pathologist confirms it's female, presumably Elizabeth Millington, a lady apparently who had wealth but no one could say for certain.
That evening getting into bed Penny hears someone whistling Greensleeves. Ray enters bedroom but denies it was him whistling.
The next morning, horror discovery in the lounge, the room wrecked, furniture overturned , floorboards pulled up as if a frantic search had taken place, but by whom and why?
Ray, " it must be Filson, Kellet gave him a key, he came back to work off a grudge."
Penny, " that won't work Ray, you know who it is, him, the killer, came back , his spirit , looking for the money he never found."
Penny knows who to contact, a spiritualist, Cecily Rafting.
Cecily arrives with Kellet , the four of them seated, Cecily asking Ray to sit opposite her.
Cecily, " I'd like the skeptic opposite me, Mr Burns it's written all over your face."
Ray who thinks it's all baloney smiles innocently.
The lights are dimmed Cecily Rafting enters a trance.
Cecily, " come to me.....come to me."
Penny asks the possessed Cecily "who are you?"
Cecily says in a slightly different voice, " Elizabeth Millington, it's so cold here in the cellar....the radio is on, its General Eisenhower...they say he'll be President."
Cecily goes deeper into trance, stands and paces room, whistling Greensleeves.
Penny, " it's him! the killer....who are you?"
Cecily. " don't know...dont want to remember....forget the past, wipe it clean."
Penny, " what do you want?"
Cecily, " money...must have money, where is it?"
Cecily, back in Elizabeth Millington voice, "what are you doing here?..
I told you there's no money here please leave....no NO AAAARRRGGGGHH "
Cecily tries to cleanse the house of the spirit, starts walking out of the room taking the spirit with her but something goes wrong and she loses touch before she can.
Cecily, " he's strong, very strong , but I was controlling him...he's gone for now."
Penny," what about his body? It isn't in the house somewhere ?"
Cecily, " I don't understand, he isn't necessarily dead."
Penny," but you contacted his soul."
Cecily, " the living have a soul too Mrs Burns, I made contact with something, his essence or perhaps just his evil influence left behind."
That evening Penny and Ray asleep in bed, Ray tosses and turns in his sleep, his right hand flops over the side of the bed, his thumb and forefinger snapping together, he is whistling Greensleeves, a spirit possessing him.
Next a cellar door is opened, the killer drags the body down wooden stairs. At the bottom is a bag of cement, the killer picks up a spade and breaks open the bag, while whistling Greensleeves and snapping his fingers as he whistles.
