      Plot


      Lee, Shelby, and Matt search with police and volunteers for Flora. In a nearby farmhouse, they find two dirt-encrusted young boys nursing from the teats of a dead sow. After bringing the police back to the farmhouse, the two boys are taken to the hospital, where they are revealed to be part of the Polk family. The boys only know one word, "Croatoan", and in an interview, Matt and Shelby reveal that the word came to be a warning for the pair of them.
      Two days later, Lee starts to accept the possibility that after all this time they may not find Flora alive. Back at the house, Mason angrily blames Lee for Flora's disappearance, eventually accusing Lee of hiding her, raising the question that Lee may be hiding Flora somewhere in an attempt to prevent him from changing the custody agreement. As they fight, Mason shoves his ex-wife on the ground and storms out of the house out of frustration. That night, the police discovered that Mason was killed, whose his charred corpse strapped to a raised wooden hoop.
      The next day, Matt realizes that his security camera recorded two events during the night: Lee leaving the house after they went to bed and returning 15 minutes later. He and Shelby speculate as to whether Lee was responsible for Mason's death, causing Lee to be understandably upset. A psychic named Cricket Marlowe interrupts them and claims to be able to locate Flora, and Lee pays him $25,000. Although the family is skeptical, they allow Cricket to perform a seance to contact Priscilla.
      The next day, she pays Cricket's fee, and he explains that Priscilla is a ghost from the 1500s and that Flora was abducted by the ghost of Thomasin White, wife of John White, the governor of Roanoke Colony. She was left in charge of the colony after White returned to England for supplies but was later deposed and exiled after the colonists rebelled against Thomasin in her husband's absence. While dying of hunger in the woods, Thomasin was saved by an English witch, Scathach, who gave her soul and swore loyalty to her. After re-establishing her control of Roanoke, Thomasin moved the colony inland to the area where Matt and Shelby's house now stands.
      Cricket leads the Millers back into the woods, where they tell Thomasin, that in exchange for returning Flora, the Millers will burn their house down and leave the land for good. Shelby balks at the idea and looks to Matt, but he has disappeared. She finds him having sex with Scathach while the Polks watch. Matt has no memory of the incident when he returns to the house, and Shelby is furious with him. When Lee finds her way back to the house, she is arrested by the police.
