Asked by montecristo on Thu 9 Jul 2009 - 9:15 pm UTC:

Some time in the early 1980s, in Argentina (in case it matters), I saw a
film on TV. I think it was a children's film, because it revolved around
children. But that also means it may not have been a movie but for example
an episode of something childlike such as Little House on the Prairie. The
film was in Spanish, but may have been dubbed.

There is a well, there are two children and there is the issue of falling
down the well. I believe the "issue" is that a child fell down the well
previously, and the other child hears his ghost and falls in looking for
this ghost; or perhaps there isn't a ghost until a child falls in and dies
(unlikely in a child movie).

There is a night scene where the rescue is happening, with a fairly large
house (not mansion) in the background. 5-10 men trying to get
something/someone from the bottom of the well with ropes, families in the
background. An attic may also be important; a child may be hiding there.

It was in colour.

PS See the following to understand the likely accuracy of my recollection:

Vacaciones de terror


"...The six year old girl of the family falls into a well and finds the
ragged old doll which will now bring back one of the many dark entities of
the witch. Through incredible telekinetic powers and magical voodoo as well
as bloody hallucinations the hell from beneath has come back and will now
try to posses the young girl before the night is over...."

There's this one as well:

Child of Glass

which actually is a kids movie, from Disney, no less, and involves ghosts,
a large house (plantation), falling into a well, and a hayloft (pretty
close to an attic).  

Bet you this is it.  My colleague pinkfreud, who is never wrong, also
identified it as a possibility.

I didn't think you'd get it. I can't check if you are right, but it's
probably Child of Glass, because the glass connection rings a bell.
Congratulations again....

I have been searching for this film for years! About 31 years, in fact,
because I saw this film when I was 4 years old and never forgot it!!

The story if I remember was about some kids who were getting haunted by a
girl who had fallen down a well at least 100 years earlier, and searching
for her remains or *something* which was still down at the bottom of the
well. In the end one little girl was lowered down and she came back to the
surface with a creepy doll that had belonged to the ghost when she was
alive.

Of course, since I was 4 when I saw it I might be really butchering the
plot. I know for a fact that it was on TV presented specifically as a
Disney production (remember the Disney TV show in the 70s?) so it must have
been Child of Glass. Anyone know where I can get a copy of this movie?
