It's no longer a thing, right?

And they've sort of returned to normal life.

And on this day, this is like in October, I think, at this point of 1986, Frank had taken Tina and Karen and one of their friends, a girl named Kathleen, out to get some ice cream.

And so they went out.

This is in the evening time.

They'd gone out.

They got ice cream.

They're just living their lives, sort of like moving on with life.

And they come back to the Bowen household where they were going to spend the next hour or so before Kathleen had to go home.

And when they got home, Frank went up to the front step of his house and he's about to open his door when he realizes that there's something off about his house.

He looked into the window and he saw there was a couple lights on inside the house that he just didn't remember leaving on.

But this is not like such a big red flag that he's like, oh my God, don't go in the house.

It's more like, that's weird.

You know, I don't remember leaving those on.

He was pretty conscious, I suppose, of leaving his lights off and on whenever he left the house.

And he sort of looked back at his daughters to maybe see if maybe they were going to say, oh, we left those on.

But they don't even pick up on him thinking about this stuff.

He puts the lock in and he puts the key and he unlocks the door.

He opens it up and it gets even weirder because now he sees that there's a radio that's on that was on really quietly that he can now hear.

And also a TV is on.
