How did the witch end up in that house at the beginning? If they found her while doing work in the basement (it was clearly not finished), why was she there? Far from Salem.
shareMy take is the body has been travelling all over the country since the seventeen century, whoever dealt with her previously had knowledge of her powers therefore they tried to burry her, maybe not deep enough as they should have done. The owners of the house doing renovation stumble upon the body and before they could call the police they succumbed to whatever death she decided to inflict.
That's where the police found her.
At the end of the movie she's stavveoing again to a different county where history is going to repeat herself until the circle is going to be stopped.
That's the thing though, if they found the body, they would have called the police right away, so officer Roose Bolton should have known about the body, but it's a surprise when it's found in the basement.
shareMaybe she disabled the phones and imprisoned the people, we can only speculate on what happened to them.
