Lake Mungo (2008, Australia) I was less than ten minutes into this 'mockumentary' before realizing that I'd already watched it. Still a good film and I'd forgotten quite a bit.
In 2005 a young woman drowns and her family begins to believe that her ghost is haunting their home. Photos taken by strangers and the son seem to show her appearing in various locations. A psychic is called in and he appears to verify that there is indeed something happening. Eventually, there are revelations and the story takes a turn. It appears that the daughter had a secret life the parents were not aware of and other things begin to be revealed.
This film is well done, consisting of interviews, news reports, and home movies taken by the family and others. It has the feel of both true crime and paranormal TV shows, allowing the story to unfold. While at least one crime may have been committed no one is brought to justice and the film ends on a note that twists back. Several people are revealed to have been keeping secrets and even trying to deceive the parents.
Watch the end credits as several photos and videos add to the story.
