 It begins 50 years ago, when a socially isolated schoolgirl (Lucinda) gets the idea to have her new school bury a [[time capsule]]; her contribution is a series of digits dictated to her by ghostly whispers. After she the time capsule is buried, the little girl disappears, only to be found later in the darkened school (why didn't they turn on the lights?) in a closet with her fingers bloody.
 In the present time, when time capsule is opened, the professor's son happens to get Lucinda's letter, he sees a mysterious man.
