(Logline)

When Adam, the son of the new owner of Fleetwood Manor, falls in love with a deceased ghost in the house of tormented souls, he must decide between freeing all ghosts by telling the truth behind their deaths or joining them and haunting the halls for eternity. 

(Pitch/Summary)

While a home is under construction in the mid-1800s, it becomes cursed when the blood of a witch, who is murdered by the owner's wife, seeps into the ground below. The ghosts of the original owner, his pregnant wife, and his mistress (the witch), haunt the home, roaming the halls aimlessly. Until the next owner comes along, setting the curse in motion. 

Their ghosts claim the lives of those who live there long enough to encounter them but don't figure out why they haunt the home. As time passes, the more lives and souls the house claims. Until it burns down in a tragic fire caused by the last owner, forcing the ghosts to become dormant. When the house is rebuilt to its original glory, the ghosts reoccupy the home, as well as a new family. 

The new owners' son, Adam falls for one of the dead girls who inhabit the house, not knowing she is a ghost. As their relationship blooms, the malevolent ghosts of the house torment the owners. With the help of some of the more friendly ghosts, they fight for their home and lives. They attempt to find out the truth behind their deaths to free the ghosts inhabiting their home.

The Pleasure House by QtPie321

A long time ago, in 1869, a couple lived in a beautiful home in a deserted farmland where they couldn't be heard nor bothered. They loved and cared for each other so much. Everything they would say to one another were gentle and precious words. But that's not the only thing that came out of their mouths. Moans, groans, screams, cries, whimpers, pleases---you name them---would escape their lips as they made love to one another. Once they grew old, they both passed away, leaving the house unnoticed. As the years past, people begin discovering the unusual house and what happened in there. They say the couple's spirt is still locked inside the house; "The Pleasure House" is what they call it. But will another couple believe the nonsense of the make-belief story? What happens when they move into the house? The real question is will they actually discover something that'll change their life and their hating relationship towards each other forever...?
