:41:04
So she's been in some kind of limbo?
:41:06
Yes, right.
:41:08
There's no sight, no sound,
nothing to touch or taste or smell.
:41:13
Under those conditions, reality
has no objective meaning for a person.
:41:17
Some writer once said...
:41:18
that reality is the only word in the language
that should always be used in quotes.
:41:24
Look, Dr. West, I can come back.
I don't have to...
:41:27
No, this is fine.
She's all right now. Let's continue.
:41:33
I don't know what to do.
:41:36
The thought of my daughter
going back in that house terrifies me.
:41:40
Yes, I know.
:41:45
Well, all I can say is that
there's no evidence whatever...
:41:49
that anyone has ever been directly harmed...
:41:53
by the kind of manifestation
we're talking about.
:41:58
I'm sorry, I don't know what that means.
:42:00
Well, it means that...
:42:02
whenever there has been an injury
or a problem...
:42:05
it's always been
because of some secondary cause.
:42:08
Like someone running away in a panic
and falling down some stairs.
:42:13
That's not exactly reassuring.
:42:17
No. I don't imagine it is.
:42:21
I'm sorry, I just don't have the answers
that you want.
:42:24
You're looking for a yes or a no.
:42:31
I mean, when we talk about
spirits or ghosts...
:42:36
what do we mean, really?
:42:38
They may well be things
that people carry around with them.
:42:43
And not things
that could possibly hide in a house.
:42:47
On the other hand...
:42:48
certain houses obviously do have
an affinity for activity.
:42:53
The Amityville house.
:42:55
Possibly.
:42:56
So many awful things have happened there.
There must be a reason.
