  • A story of the paranormal and the occult, inspired by true events…    Starring: Mae Whitman, Helen Baxendale, David Morrissey and Miles Heizer.   In the small town of Hexham, England, in the middle of the afternoon of June 13th, 1957, two little girls named Maud and Mary Pollard are hit by a car and killed.
