As Finney is about to defend himself for the first and final time, his sister Gwenny furiously rides, looking for the house from her most recent dream. Out of nowhere, the souls of the five victims appear and point her in the right direction. She contacts the police, who show up and swarm the house. At first, they don't find anything. Then they discover the graves in the basement. They realize the killer buries his victims here but kills them elsewhere — they're in the wrong house.
This actually goes to show that this was never about saving Finn, not really. Early on, the voice of Bruce tells Finney, "I'm glad it's you," and the ghost of a tough kid named Vance uses colorful language to say they're only helping Finney in order to kill The Grabber so they can get justice. Which they do, thanks to Finney utilizing the wire to trip The Grabber into the hole he dug in the floor to trap him.
Then, he uses the phone to bash the guy's face, and the cord to strangle him. The phone rings one last time, and the spirits of the victims taunt their murderer just before Finney snaps his neck. Using some steaks he found in the fridge on the opposite side of the wall he tried tunneling through earlier, Finney distracts The Grabber's dog and heads outside to freedom — directly across the street from Gwenny and the police.
