HIDDEN
There once stood a quaint and enigmatic mansion sitting on a hill in the village of Oakwood. The locals in the town murmured rumors about the big estate's dark mysteries and hidden secrets. The estate allegedly had unimaginable treasures that were kept out of the public's view. However, no one dared to go there for fear of arousing the legendary ancient spirits that were claimed to guard the place's secrets.

"The Conjuring: Separating Fact from Fiction"
The most haunting spirit in the movie is that of suspected witch Bathsheba Sherman. Born Bathsheba Thayer in Rhode Island in 1812, she married fellow Rhode Islander Judson Sherman (one year her senior) in Thompson, Connecticut on March 10, 1844. The two were married by Vernon Stiles, a local Justice of the Peace. Bathsheba filled the role of housewife while her husband Judson worked as a farmer on their land. Fairly well-off, Bathsheba and Judson had a son, Herbert L. Sherman, born when Bathsheba was approximately 37 years of age in March of 1849. It is possible that they had three other children as well, all of whom did not survive past the age of seven, though no census records could be found to confirm these reports. The family also usually took in a boarder, most likely to help them on the farm.

The Basement
A group of people were sitting in a circle, looking glum and lifeless. They were in an empty hall with only one long table that had different stale snacks for them to eat. A short, bald man who wore round glasses stood up and cleared his throat. "Good morning everyone. Welcome to our very first AA meeting. Let's go round in a circle and introduce ourselves shall we? Don't forget that this is a safe space to tell your story." He announced.
