🔪 The Boy in the Walls

Before the blood, before the murders, before the courtroom sketches that froze his face in time—there was the knocking. The scratching. The whispers in the walls.

In this season premiere, we journey to 1980s suburban Massachusetts, where the Andrews sisters believed they were being haunted. Grieving the recent loss of their mother, the girls turned to a Ouija board for comfort… and something answered. The walls began to speak. Notes appeared. Furniture moved. And then, one night, they found him.

Not a ghost.

Not a demon.

But a boy.

Daniel LaPlante had been living inside their walls, pretending to be the spirit of their dead mother. He watched them sleep. He wrote them notes. He wore her clothes.

This is the origin story of one of New England’s most disturbing murderers—a tale so surreal it blurs the line between supernatural horror and true crime. The scariest part? It all really happened.

📍 Highlights of this episode:

• Ouija boards and ghostly games gone wrong

• The terrifying events inside the Andrews home

• The shocking discovery behind the bedroom wall

• Who was Daniel LaPlante before the bloodshed began?
