With the owner of the Yankee Pedlar Inn vacationing in Barbados, two employees are left to man the front desk of the place in its final days. Both, Claire and Luke, are interested in ghosts and on a mission to record the sounds of one Madeline O'Malley, who is said to haunt the inn ever since she was killed and hidden in the basement.
Over the course of the last two days a total of four guests are in the house, a disgruntled mother with her young son, a former actress turned 'healer' and an old man insisting on renting a room on the already stripped third floor.
While Luke is off sleeping, Claire records the sound of a piano playing by itself, sees a disfigured ghost in a wedding gown and sits with the healer who warns her not to go into the basement. So, of course, Claire and Luke eventually explore the basement. Luke, who told of Madeline sightings before, freaks out and runs off. He also admits that he made everything up. This means that Claire is the only one to have seen the ghost of Madeline, apparently.
After she finds the old man dead of suicide, she runs off....and ends up in the basement once more where she is haunted now by not one but two ghosts, as the old guy has joined in the fun. She dies and Luke later finds her inhaler at the bottom of the stairs.
Most of this happens in the second half of the film. If you wonder what was going on in the first half - I honestly couldn't say. Basically, the film kicks off about 50 minutes in.
