Plot synopsis Claire Spencer (Pfeiffer) enters a new phase of her life after her daughter leaves home. With her husband, renowned scientist Norman (Ford), Claire is now living in a remodelled lakeside home in Vermont that once belonged to Norman's scientist father. However, when Claire meets her new neighbour Mary (Otto), she learns how terrified Mary is of her husband Warren (Remar). And when Mary suddenly disappears, clues lead Claire to suspect that she was murdered by her husband. This article is about the U.S. state. ...
So when strange events start occurring in her house, Claire is certain that Mary's ghost is haunting her. But as the events get more and more mysterious, and Mary then turns up alive, Claire is forced to probe the events of Norman's past in order to learn who is really haunting them, and how to put the ghost to rest.
As it turns out the ghost haunting Claire is in fact the mistress of her husband, Norman. He killed her a year before and now she wants to communicate with Claire about the truth of what happened to her. After Norman finds out that Claire knows his secret he drugs her and tries to drown her in the bathtub. However she is able to pull the plug and thus drain the tub. She gets up and finds her husband downstairs, unconscious (after he had smashed his head on the bathroom sink). A struggle ensues and they end up driving off a bridge. The mistress' ghost drags Norman down with her and allows Claire to escape.

References The film features many references and homages to Alfred Hitchcock films, notably Psycho and Rear Window. An example is the final shot, which fades out from a graveyard to show a woman's face, just as the final shot of Psycho does. Film critic Roger Ebert noted in his review that he felt the problem with Zemeckis' desire to direct a Hitchcockian film was to involve the supernatural, which he believes to be something Hitchcock would never have done (in the Rosemary's Baby DVD featurette, it is mentioned that the film was offered to Hitchcock, and he declined because it involved the supernatural). It could, however, be claimed that Zemeckis' intention was to make a film with "Hitchcockian touches" rather than make an out-and-out Hitchcock pastiche. Sir Alfred Joseph Hitchcock KBE (August 13, 1899 – April 29, 1980) was an iconic and highly influential British-born film director and producer who pioneered many techniques in the suspense and thriller genres. ...

Trivia - Robert Zemeckis was filming Cast Away, in which Tom Hanks was required to gain weight and then lose it after being stranded on an island. The first half of the film was shot with the heavier Hanks; Zemeckis then took the entire crew and filmed What Lies Beneath, and then returned to film the second half of Cast Away after Hanks had lost the weight. This was necessary to ensure Cast Away kept the same crew for both halves of the film, and didn't pursue other work in the interim.
- The movie's faux Queen Anne-style house, built on the shore of Lake Champlain, stood in DAR State Park in the town of Addison, Vermont. It was built with all the trim of a real house on the site of the park's picnic pavilion. The park's stone pavilion was removed, the movie house built, then the pavilion restored after the movie wrapped. Several residents attempted to buy the house, but movie executives refused to sell. The entire house was scrapped and hauled to the dump. The nearby house of former Addison residents Mark and Mary Brady was originally intended to be the Spencers' residence. Negotiations between Hollywood lawyers and the Bradys broke down over compensation, and the Queen Anne built instead at far greater cost. The Spencers' neighbor's house was built for 3/4 views on the same park location. It was also razed.
- The dynamic truss-span bridge over Lake Champlain — linking Vermont and New York — that appears in the film several times, and especially at the end (called the Champlain Bridge and built in 1927), is now being studied by the NY and VT Transportation Departments. A project initiated in early 2007 will investigate options to address bridge condition and will consider both rehabilitation and replacement options.
- When Claire Spencer glimpses in the window of a quaint shop in Adamant, Vermont, the real setting is the village of Charlotte, VT, located off U.S. Route 7. In reality, Adamant is more than 100 miles from the setting of the movie, located near Montpelier, Vermont.
- The movie Me, Myself and Irene was filmed in the same area as What Lies Beneath. Both film crews were working near each other in the summer of 1999 in Addison County, Vermont.
- Kelly Clarksons song Never again shot a music video with a similar story line.
