Clara's Ghost

Clara Reynolds embarks on a quest to find her lost shoe, which she believes she misplaced on the road. This leads her to the local police station, marking the beginning of her day filled with unsettling experiences.

Clara's daughters, Julie and Riley, return home to celebrate their cherished dog Ollie's birthday. This occasion serves as a backdrop to the family's interactions and Clara's feelings of being overlooked.

As Clara feels increasingly invisible to her self-absorbed family, she starts experiencing strange and eerie visions in her historic home. Among these is a ghostly woman who begs to be let inside, heightening Clara's sense of unease.

Riley purchases marijuana from Joe, an old classmate, which adds a layer of tension to the already complicated family dynamic. Later, Joe is invited to dinner by Ted, introducing new interactions within the family.

As a magazine photoshoot featuring Ted, Julie, and Riley takes place, Clara feels her invisibility deepen. She struggles with the knowledge that her family is celebrated while she feels increasingly isolated.

During a family dinner, Clara's frustration culminates as she confronts her family about their teasing and dismissive attitudes. Although her emotional plea is met with laughter, a ghost reappears and embraces her in a moment of solidarity.

Joe shares a chilling tale about the history of Clara's home, which was built in 1862 by a sea captain for his daughter Adelia, who was tragically institutionalized. This narrative adds a layer of mystery to the family's home and Clara's experiences.

In a moment of rage, Clara damages a self-portrait created by Ted as the family's tension escalates. Ted's harsh criticism of Julie's monologue sparks further conflict during the already heated dinner.

Clara's attempt to summon Adelia's spirit during a séance takes a dark turn as she locks her family in the basement. The situation escalates when Clara, fueled by frustration, tries to set the basement ablaze.

As chaos ensues, Clara confronts her family with a kitchen knife, revealing her emotional turmoil and desperation. The family's misunderstanding of her actions leads to further complications in their relationships.

Amidst the family's turmoil, Ollie, their dog, consumes some unattended brownies, adding a humorous yet alarming moment to the events. This unexpected incident further complicates the family's chaotic night.

Feeling overwhelmed, Clara steps outside and wanders into the woods, where she engages in a violent encounter and seemingly kills a coyote. The ramifications of her actions soon ripple through the family.

The family rushes Ollie to the veterinarian after the dog eats the brownies, during which they hear rumors about a drunk woman at the police station. This adds to their worry that Clara may be in trouble.

After returning home, the family finds a bloody shirt belonging to Clara along with her missing shoe hidden in her closet. This discovery deepens their concern for Clara's well-being and hints at the supernatural events surrounding her.

In a shocking turn of events, the family discovers Clara walking naked in town, leading them to rush her back home. The incident underscores the chaotic and mysterious nature of the night they've experienced.
