Dr. Markway, doing research to prove the existence of ghosts, investigates Hill House, a large, eerie mansion with a lurid history of violent death and insanity. With him are the skeptical young Luke, who stands to inherit the house, the mysterious and clairvoyant Theodora and the insecure Eleanor, whose psychic abilities make her feel somehow attuned to whatever spirits inhabit the old mansion. As time goes by it becomes obvious that they have gotten more than they bargained for as the ghostly presence in the house manifests itself in horrific and deadly ways.

The film begins with a voice-over by Dr. John Markway. Hill House was constructed by Hugh Crain as a home for his wife. She died in an accident as she approached the house for the first time. Crain remarried, but his second wife died after falling down the stairs. Crain's daughter, Abigail, lived in the house the rest of her life, never moving out of the nursery. She died calling for her nurse-companion. The companion inherited the house, but hanged herself in the library. Mrs. Sanderson inherited Hill House, but the mansion has stood empty for some time.

Dr. Markway is investigating paranormal activity at the mansion. He gets permission from Mrs. Sanderson to occupy the house, on condition that he must take Luke Sanderson, her heir, with him. Markway chooses two individuals to accompany him, the psychic, Theodora, also known as "Theo", and the meek Eleanor "Nell" Lance. Eleanor spent her adult life caring for her invalid mother, and her recent death left Eleanor feeling severe guilt. Mr. Dudley and his wife are the house's caretakers.

The large, maze-like mansion contains few right angles, the perspective is off, and doors move by themselves. There is a library with a spiral staircase and a conservatory with eerie statues. That night, Eleanor and Theo are terrified by ghostly occurrences outside Theo's bedroom door. Supernatural forces bang loudly on the door as if trying to gain entry. Despite the turbulence, Eleanor feels at home at Hill House as well as unsettled.

Eleanor swerves to avoid her, crashes into a tree, and dies. When Dr. Markway, Luke and Theo arrive, Dr. Markway asserts that something was in the car with Eleanor. He notes that the tree that claimed Eleanor's life was the same one that killed the first Mrs. Crain, leaving up to the viewer to decide whether she lost control of the car due to supernatural forces, swerved to avoid hitting Grace, or deliberately committed suicide. The Haunting is a 1963 British psychological horror film directed and produced by Robert Wise and adapted by Nelson Gidding from the novel The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson. It stars Julie Harris, Claire Bloom, Richard Johnson, and Russ Tamblyn. The film, about a small group of people invited to stay at a haunted house by a paranormal investigator, is often cited as one of the most frightening films ever made
