In chapters IX-XII, Navidson and the others continue their exploration of the space that has appeared in the house. While on Exploration #4, Holloway, Jed, and Wax make it to the bottom of the Spiral Staircase, but do not come across anything new. After days of exploration and finding an endless number of rooms and hallways, the mental state of Holloway begins to deteriorate. Holloway becomes intent on discovering anything that would break the monotony of the place. The fact that he cannot find anything except for more doors and hallways is maddening for him, and he is compelled to explore further when he finds the markers the team left behind had been torn. The situation worsens when Wax is shot and Holloway walks off, leaving Jed and Wax. In the process, Navidson gets left behind.
Discussion Questions:
What is the significance of the layout of the text?
What happened to the Feng Shui objects that Karen had around the house?
