That they seem to happen by themselves, witnessed by a static camera, makes them eerie, especially since there are some shots that seem impossible without special effects, and there's no visible evidence of f/x, looking as closely as we can. The fact that they happen at all is the whole point. Some of these events are very minor, and I won't describe any of them. It's on a tripod at the end of their bed while they sleep, and we see events while their eyes are closed. One benefit of the story device is that for long periods of time the camera is ostensibly left on with no one running it.
After one big scare, she asks him incredulously, did you actually go back to pick up your camera? Like any man with a new toy, he becomes obsessed with this notion - the whole point, for him, isn't Katie's fear but his film. Micah's bright idea is to film in the house, leaving the camera running as a silent sentinel while they sleep. They've been bothered by indications of some sort of paranormal activity in an upstairs bedroom. Micah greets Katie out front one day by filming her on his new video camera, which she observes looks bigger than his other one. It's well enough furnished, but everything looks new and there's no clutter. They've been together three years, and have now moved into a house in San Diego that doesn't seem much lived in.
