Synopsis

There's a ghost in Richard's wardrobe.

Every day he carries out a series of rituals that he believes
will keep the ghost trapped inside. He tries to tell his friends
and family, but they dismiss his worries and concerns as being part
of his OCD. But then one day, the wardrobe door is opened...

And that's when the hauntings begin.
