Mr. And Mrs. Norton, along with their three children lived there fifty years prior to Tate Wellington moving to Riverwood. Allegedly Mr. Norton had gone insane and killed his wife and children. He had then killed himself when he realized what he had done. They now say his spirit roams the house and surrounding woods searching for others to blame and when he finds them, he kills them. So when Tate Wellington takes a dare from her friends to stay in the cabin for one night, she realizes there are monsters that hide under your bed, and that not all can be fought off by your teddy bear.
