Them

In this chapter, Sokay recounts the events of the previous night. He was awakened in his bedroom by a disembodied voice and was floating in the air above him. The voice told him that his baby was being taken away from him and that he was being tormented by the spirit of the dead woman and her unborn child. Sokay was unable to move or speak because he was floating above the room. He could feel his baby's cry as she was taken away. Helen was also in the room, but his eyes did not move. He told Sokay that he had listened to the tapes of the women's encounters and that it had driven him crazy. He said that he wanted to find proof of these occurrences and that his passion for the paranormal had been "fueling" him.
