The story is about a couple who has promised each other to be engaged soon. They want to start their life together, so they decide to buy a house. They seem like a nice couple, but unknown to Katie, her mother had promised the soul of their firstborn son or male child to this demon. Because Katie was not the firstborn male child, she must now bear the curse and have male children to satisfy the demon. However, the couple are not married yet, so buying a house is a good start to that life. They end up in trouble as they discover that Katie has been haunted since childhood. Although the viewer hopes that it will all turn out okay, the end of the story leaves everyone spellbound.
The scene opens with a say-trader named Micha and his girlfriend, Katie who is haunted by a ghost since childhood, move into a tract house in the suburbs of San Diego, California. Mica is not really convinced about the haunted spirit, so he buys a video camera with the intention of capturing the ghostly haunting on film. During the three-week adventure, they hire Dr. Fredrik, who is a psychic. (Paranormal Activity)
The psychic warns the couple to avoid contacting the demon and tells them that any negative energy will manifest the poltergeist. He also tells them that it is pointless to move because the entity is connected to Katie no matter what. Dr. Fredrick also tells them that they should contact a demonologist named Dr. Abrams. However, Micha does not agree and the couple fights about it. This brings bad energy and the demon. (Paranormal Activity)
Micha sets up the video camera in their bedroom to capture anything that occurs while they sleep. When Mica reviews the recording, he sees their lights and television go on and off, voices, growls, footsteps, and other strange sounds. It is not long before Katie is up staring at a sleeping Micha for hours and she also goes outside to the backyard and sits on the swing. She has no memory of these events at all. (Paranormal Activity)
Micha continuously makes the situation a joke and Katie’s irritation grows. This condition escalates because Mica ignored the suggestion of the psychic and brought home a Ouija board. When Micah and Katie leave the house, the demon blows through the house, spells something on the Ouija board, then sets fire to it, but it doesn’t burn up, the fire just goes out. They discover footprints that are not human, in the powder that Micha sprinkled in the hall. (Paranormal Activity)
Micha discovers a partially burned photo of Katie as a child. The bedroom door violently slams shut the next night, and something is banging and knocking around. Micha is starting to freak out a bit and wants Dr. Abrams to come, but he is overseas and they call Dr. Fredrick’s instead. He agrees to come over but refuses to stay in the house because he feels the powerful negativity from the demon. Micha desperately begs him to help them get rid of this poltergeist. (Paranormal Activity)
Katie is drug out of bed and forcibly pulled down the hall by some invisible force. Micha chases after her and holds on tight. Katie discovers a horrible bite on her back and the two decide to take off to a motel for the night. During the day, they see the damage of broken glass. Katie, who seems to have the demon in her eyes, talks Mica into staying the night. (Paranormal Activity)
During the night, Katie stands by the bed again, then she runs outside and starts screaming. Mica wakes to her screams and suddenly both people are screaming, then it suddenly stops. There is a struggle, it seems, then Mica is thrown in the direction of the camera, which knocks it over. Katie comes in, soaked in blood and she crouched like an animal and begins to sniff at a dead Micha, then she smiles demonically at the camera. Then she pounces toward the camera and it blacks out.
