Afterwards, Kristi has no memory of being possessed. Dan burns a photo of a young Katie (that Julie took on the girls' first day of school) to complete the ritual (this seems to be the same photo that a few weeks later shows up in the attic of Katie and Micah's home). After a frightful confrontation with a possessed Kristi, Dan, Ali and Martine succeed in their plan and free her from the demon using a cross. To protect his own family he decides to sacrifice Kristi's sister, Katie. ![]() Dan calls in Martine (the nanny he previously fired), who informs him that he cannot exorcise the demon completely - but he can pass the demon off to another family member. Ali becomes convinced that Kristi has been corrupted by the demon and convinces her father of this by showing him footage of Kristi being dragged into the basement by some invisible force. When Kristi is released, her family finds the basement door covered in scratches, with the word "Meus" (Latin for "Mine") scratched in the door (either meaning Kristi or Hunter or both belong to the demon). The paranormal activity in Kristi's home begins to escalate at one point, Kristi herself is dragged down into the basement by the demon and is kept there for hours. The events happening in Kristi's home seem vaguely similar to deep-seated feelings the girls have of that childhood trauma Katie is worried Kristi will 'end up like their mother.' Upon visiting, Katie and Kristi reminisce about that mysterious period from their childhood (which they cannot recall) that led to their family being broken, and their childhood home burning down. ![]() Their housekeeper Martine claims it is an evil spirit, tries to protect the family via prayer and incense - and gets fired for her trouble by Dan, who will not even begin to entertain thoughts of the supernatural being real in any form. Soon after, strange paranormal events begin to occur in Kristi and Dan's home. Every room is completely trashed except for Hunter's bedroom, but the only things stolen are the necklace and the video tapes. A year later, after Kristi has given birth to her son, Hunter, a "burglary" occurs at her home. This includes a necklace and a box of old video tapes (Dennis's 1988 tapes AND a set of tapes labeled "1992"). Jump to 2005, when an adult Katie delivers stuff from Lois' old house (Lois has seemingly died) to a pregnant Kristi and her husband Dan. She then leads her granddaughters up the stairs to an unknown fate, with the demon in tow. Gathered with the rest of her coven, Lois watches as the demon kills Julie and Dennis. It is then revealed that Lois is part of the coven of witches from the '30s that Dennis saw in the book, and that she serves the demon terrorizing them (she had the same symbol hidden on her wall that the demon drew on the crawl space ceiling). Thinking they are finally safe, Julie awakens in the night to the sound of cars pulling up to Lois' home. For "motivation," the demon then tears apart the kitchen in front of Julie, which sends her running off to grandma's house with the kids. Kristi begs her mom to take them from the house to grandma's house (apparently, the demon's request), but Julie, still in denial, refuses. After repeated attacks, Kristi eventually promises to do the demon's bidding in order to save her sister from harm. The demon makes a bond with Kristi, in particular (which she refers to as her friend "Toby"). Dennis tries to show this explanation to Julie, but she will not buy it. A mysterious symbol drawn on a crawl space ceiling in the girls' room leads Dennis to a book about a coven of witches in the 1930s who served demons by brain-washing girls of child-bearing age into having sons for the demon to collect, before wiping away the child-bearer's memory of the event. ![]() The mom, Julie, has decided not to have any more kids - much to the chagrin of her mother (the girls' grandmother), Lois. The girls' mom has a boyfriend, Dennis, who begins to film the phenomenon happening in their home. It is meant to chronicle the events that the girls cannot fully remember in the first two films - namely the demonic entity first coming to haunt them. ![]() Paranormal Activity 3 is set in 1988 when sisters Kristi and Katie are young (5 and 9, respectively). How does Paranormal Activity 3 tie into the other films?
