licisca Story from the movie called "Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children"
For years,  Jake has been told stories by his grandfather about his childhood battling monsters and spending World War II living at "Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children" at Cairnholm, Wales. The home's children and their headmistress, Miss Alma Peregrine, possess paranormal abilities and are known as "Peculiars". One day Jake is being called urgently by his grandfather and goes to Abe's house only to find him dying with his eyes removed.  Jake is told to go to the loop of September 3, 1943 and that the bird would tell him everything.  As Jake is being joined by  his drugstore supervisor Shelly with her gun, he sees a monster from Abe's stories in the bushes that quickly disappears.
Following advice from his psychiatrist, Dr. Golan and by a letter from Miss Peregrine to Abe, Jake travels to Cairnholm being accompanied by his father Frank to investigate the children's home, learning that it was destroyed during a Luftwaffe raid. Upon entering the house, Jake is surprisingly welcomed by some of the children from Abe's stories. He is taken through a portal in a cave by children and he emerges in the year 1943 when the house was not yet destroyed. He is being greted by Miss Peregrine and explained that she belonged to a class of female Peculiars named "Ymbrynes", who could transform into birds (in Miss Peregrine's case, a peregrine falcon) and manipulate time. To avoid persecution for being Peculiars, she and her children were hidden from the outside world in a time loop that was created by her, accessible only to Peculiars and set to September 3, 1943. They are being allowed by this time loop to live the same day repeatedly and avoid aging as long as they stay inside of it.
Jake is introduced to the rest of the children, including aerokinetic Emma Bloom, to whom he is attracted (like Abe was). Jake is being told that he himself was a Peculiar and, like his grandfather, had the ability to see the invisible monsters from Abe's stories, which are called "Hollowgasts" (or "Hollows"). He is being told how Ymbryne was killed by them. The disfigured Peculiar scientists were turned into these monsters when the experiment was failed by them to become immortal by harvesting powers of Ymbryne.  These monsters are led by shapeshifter Mr. Barron, they Peculiars (mostly children) are being hunted by them to consume their eyeballs. They are allowed by these obtained eyeballs to become "Wights" with regained visible human form, but with milky-white eyes.
