Film Overview
"Secrets in the Walls" is a 2010 Lifetime Television ghost story movie directed by Christopher Leitch. The film focuses on a mom of two ladies, who after moving into an old home in Detroit, start to experience frightening supernatural events connected to the house's past. Peggy Blow, Kay Panabaker, and Jeri Ryan are among the primary cast.

Plot Summary
The story starts with single mom Rachel Easton (played by Jeri Ryan), who desires a new beginning after her divorce. She, together with her children Lizzie (played by Kay Panabaker) and Molly (played by Marianne Jean-Baptiste), moves into a fixer-upper in Detroit suburban areas. Strange, mysterious occasions begin taking place in your house right after their shifting, but they mostly ignore them at first.

Rachel finds that the house has a dark history while refurbishing it. A girl who resided in your house years ago vanished, and her spirit has been caught inside the walls since then. This realization is followed by increasingly frightening supernatural events. The ghost seems drawn to her younger daughter, Molly, triggering the household to live in worry.

The Supernatural Elements
The strange occurrences grow increasingly disturbing with time. Molly begins having frightening visions and undergoes extreme changes in her habits, which Rachel at first attributes to tension from the move and her divorce. However, Lizzie too becomes frightened after a supernatural encounter. They begin hearing weird voices, things inexplicably move around, and the structure of your home appears to change inexplicably.

The Reveal
As Rachel and her children further explore your home history, they reveal the terrifying past. They find out about the previous household, the Woods, and their child Greta who disappeared inexplicably the night prior to her birthday. Additionally, they discover that the spirit of Greta Woods is trapped within your house's walls. The spirit of Greta does not imply harm but wants to be set free.

The Climax and Resolution
Due to a building and construction accident, Rachel gets trapped inside the haunting walls of the house where she confronts the vengeful ghost causing mayhem. With the assistance of her next-door neighbor, Belle, who is exposed to be a psychic, the family handles to launch Greta's spirit, finally setting her totally free. The film ends as the paranormal activities stop, restoring the normal peace and harmony of your home.
