A little girl falls from a ladder into a water tank (we see her floating under the surface of the water and the front of her shirt appears to be stained red); a woman looks into the water, sees the body, turns it over, the girl's eyes open and the woman falls off of the ladder.

A little girl's arm is jerked around while she is painting, she yells at someone to stop it, she goes to the bathroom to wash up, and brown water begins to pour from all of the taps: the toilets overflow, she sees the silhouette of a girl at the door, she screams and runs into a stall, she sees the shoes and socks of a girl outside the door, and she screams and we hear that she fainted. Dark, oozing stains appear on the ceiling of a room, they drip dark water and spread -- this happens in many scenes.

A little girl comes to the side of a woman's bed and says she's scared, and then climbs into the bed with the woman (the woman does not realize the girl is not her daughter); in another scene, a woman screams when she realizes that the little girl sitting next to her is not her daughter.
