🛏️ The Setup: A Found-Footage Nightmare in Suburbia

Katie and Micah seem like a normal couple settling into their cozy suburban San Diego home—until things start going bump in the night.

Concerned by a dark presence that Katie claims has haunted her since childhood, Micah installs a camera in their bedroom to record what happens while they sleep.

What starts with a creaky door… ends in violent, demonic possession.

Night after night, the recordings grow more unsettling:

• Doors open on their own

• Shadowy figures lurk off-camera

• Strange noises echo through the house

• Katie begins to change—emotionally, physically, spiritually

👹 The Demon: Ancient, Focused, and Unstoppable

A psychic confirms their fears: it's not a ghost, but a demon.
Unlike ghosts, demons attach to people, not places—and this one is obsessed with Katie.

It doesn’t want attention.
It wants control.

Despite warnings to seek expert help, Micah’s ego keeps him from doing so—a fatal mistake.

🎬 The Ending(s): Three Paths to Terror

Paranormal Activity famously has multiple endings, all terrifying in their own right:

📼 1. The Theatrical Ending (Most Well-Known):

Katie gets out of bed, stands still for hours, then walks downstairs.
Micah screams.
Moments later, his body is hurled at the camera.
Katie, now possessed, slowly approaches the lens—then lunges. Cut to black.

🔪 2. The Original Ending:

Katie returns calmly… and slits her own throat in front of the camera.
The camera runs silently. No jump. Just dread.

🚨 3. Alternate Ending:

Katie kills Micah and sits rocking beside his corpse.
The police arrive. Confused and scared, they shoot Katie on sight.

All endings share the same message:

This wasn’t a haunting.
It was a demonic infection—and there’s no cure.
