Lake Mungo (2009)
In 2008, Alice Palmer died…Her nightmare didn't.
After 16-year-old Alice Palmer drowns at a local dam, her family experiences a series of strange, inexplicable events centered in and around their home. Unsettled, the Palmers seek the help of a psychic and parapsychologist, who discovers that Alice led a secret, double life. At Lake Mungo, Alice's secret past emerges.
In Lake Mungo, consciousness is carried by the dead — a plane of “haunted suburbia”. The story fights on E8/E9 of the E0–E14 reality ladder, compressing grief, memory, afterlife, family, death.
