Witchboard 2: The Devil’s Doorway

Paige moves into a spacious Los Angeles loft and discovers a hidden Ouija board in the closet. She begins to experiment with it, sensing a mysterious, almost alive presence. The board seems to respond to her questions, hinting at personal events to come.

During a session, the board foretells that Paige will receive a promotion at her accounting firm. The prediction feels uncanny and unsettling, yet it seems to materialize soon after she asks about her career. The uncanny accuracy deepens her belief in the board's power.

Paige questions the tenants about the previous occupant, and they reveal that a woman named Susan Sidney once lived in her apartment. They speak of odd rumors and a vague, troubling history connected to Susan. The unease grows as the past seems to reach into the present.

A violent poltergeist erupts in Jonas's shop, flinging tools and driving him to retreat into the boiler room. The machine overheats and explodes, leaving Jonas fatally burned. Paige witnesses parts of the incident and feels the danger closing in.

Paige begins suffering from vivid nightmares that manifest as disturbing paintings of a woman she believes is Susan. The images haunt her waking hours and blur the line between art, reality, and possession. The paintings become a visual record of the haunting's progression.

At Jonas's funeral, Russel the photographer shares more about Susan's past, explaining she was an exotic dancer who propped herself up through dubious means. He also mentions that Susan disappeared two years earlier, leaving Paige with more questions than answers. The conversation deepens the mystery surrounding Susan.

Paige asks Mitch to dig for records about Susan Sidney's murder, but his inquiry yields no evidence of her existence. The dead end deepens Paige's certainty that something supernatural is at play. The absence of formal records makes the case feel both real and unreal.

The trio gathers to use the Ouija together, and the board directs them to 'uptown.' Mitch explains that there is a remote area outside the city known as Uptown Woods, linking the haunting to a hidden location. Their curiosity turns toward a potential burial or hiding place for Susan.

Convinced Susan was killed and buried in Uptown Woods, Paige and Russel head out to investigate, only to be interrupted by Mitch, who escorts Paige back to safety. The close call heightens the sense of danger surrounding the haunting. The location remains a key clue in the mystery.

The threat behind the Ouija grows more physical as Mitch suffers a car hijacking and injury caused by the entity. The line between spectral disturbance and real danger becomes dangerously thin. The incident proves the danger is no longer purely psychological.

Elaine is killed in a violent accident, another brutal reminder that the haunting has deadly consequences for the living. Paige and the others must confront the possibility that the entity targets anyone connected to Susan's past. The tension in the loft reaches a peak.

Paige discovers that the earlier message directing her to 'uptown' was actually hinting at 'Upton,' the name of Russel's photographer company. She then suspects that Russel may have murdered Susan, fueling a paranoid determination to uncover the truth. The stakes rise as loyalties are tested.

The truth surfaces: Elaine and her accomplice Jonas are the killers behind the haunting. Paige, now wielding Susan's presence, confronts the chaos as she fights her way through the room. Mitch is knocked through a window by an unseen force as the scheme unravels.

Susan, in a desperate struggle for control, kills Russel with an axe before Mitch can fully re-enter. She shapeshifts between Susan and Paige, and Mitch pleads for Paige to fight the spirit. Paige destroys the Ouija board, expelling Susan's presence from her body and ending the ordeal.
