Time and again, Caitlin had carried out those acts with clear malice in her eyes.
When her parents caught on, limited her movements, and kept a closer watch, she shifted tactics. She began to hurt herself.
Since she was the Callaghans' only child, she knew the idea of self-harm would bring them enough pain and fear.
Desperate to find an explanation, Vance and Laura became convinced she was ill.
They took her to multiple doctors, even had ultrasounds and full screenings done, but the results were always the same.
Aside from her malicious intentions at home, Caitlin was polite, sweet, and cheerful to everyone else.
In the end, with no other options, the couple hired full-time caretakers to monitor her and restricted her to the house.
For a while, it worked. The household finally quieted down, but that fragile peace lasted only about six months.
Caitlin did seem calmer, but strange occurrences started happening around the house.
At first, they thought something evil had possessed their daughter. Mystics came and went, concluding Caitlin was fine. Every time a ritual was done, the disturbances would start all over again.
Initially, they feared the internet's judgment; they feared people would accuse them of mistreating their child or doing something terrible to deserve such punishment.
However, upon standing face to face with the truth, the reality was a hundred times more terrifying than anything they had imagined.
"She went as far as reincarnating as their daughter just to get revenge… So, does that mean she was…"
Murdered by the couple?
Olivia's question echoed what everyone was suspecting.
Shannon answered, "His ex-wife was killed in a car accident, but there were no signs of foul play."
