Line 6:
Eventually Tom and son realize the presence they sense is a ghost of a girl who was murdered in the house some time ago.
 
It had a [[Made for TV]] Sequel, ''Stir of Echoes: The Homecoming'', which appeared on [[Sci Fi ChannelSyfy]], so you know what to expect.

=== This film provides examples of the following tropes: ===
 
{{tropelist}}
* [[Attempted Rape]] - What leads to the events in the movie that Tom has to relive through psychometry.
* [[Chekhov's Gun]] - Literal. Frank McCarthy makes an offhand remark about owning guns early in the movie. Do you think more than one gun will eventually play a narrative role?
Line 19 ⟶ 17:
* [[Our Ghosts Are Different]] - The ghost was cleverer post-death than in life, and more direct than a lot of ghosts in other media. She communicated with Tom as clearly as she could, considering his low power psychic ability meant she couldn't literally talk to him as she did with his son. She even convinced his son to talk to her sister to make more connections... which [[Fridge Logic|begs the question]] why she didn't just tell the kid all her woes directly. The only alternative being that she didn't want to involve him too much because of his age.
** Or he was too young to understand the whole story.
* [[Supernatural -Proof Father]] - An aversion, as in this case, Dad and son get involved with the ghost, but Mom's the one [[Locked Out of the Loop]].
* [[Town Withwith a Dark Secret]] - Neighbourhood, actually, but the effect is pretty much the same.
