bothered ghost after you.

3. Be classy when you

ask them questions.

Don't ask stuff like, "Did you kill

your wife with a machete?"

4. The most important thing:

Ask the ghosts kindly

to please not follow you home.

They can follow you?

-Of course, I have one here.

See?

Production Meeting

3 days before the Sanatorium investigation

Silence.

Silence!

Silence!

Let's start by introducing ourselves,

to see who is who on this project.

Mariana and Kurt aren't here yet.

Let's start anyway, we

can't wait any longer.

Well, I'm Luis Bogantes, some of

you already know me.

I've had the pleasure of working with

some of you in the past

and I'm the director of this project.

I'm Arturo Pardo, investigator

and journalist. Um, what else?

A pleasure to work with

all of you on this project.

OK, I'm Lulu. I'm a medium.

Or you might call me an open channel...

And also I plan parties for kids.

So if you know anyone

needing a party...

Anyone knows a kid who might

need a party you can contact me.

Hi, I'm Papillo and this is Gaston.

We are the techs of the movie.

I'm really excited to be here.

-Yeah, same here, let's see what...

-Hey, Papito, Papino, Papillo.

No biographies, alright? Let's

just focus on the important people...

I'm Esteban Perales, I'm the

producer of this project.

Excuse me, but...I think we all contribute

with something of value here.

We are all important here.

Yes, but some are more important...

...than others

Are you recording?

I wanna talk about what

happened at the table.

You have to mark your territory

from the beginning,

Let people know

your place in the pyramid.

If not, they won't respect you.

I'm just doing Luis and

Arturo a favor, they need money.

So the money man is my dad.

I mean...me!

Alright, that's it.

Day Zero

Trip to the Sanatorium

Hi, I'm Kurt Dyer, I'm the music

composer for the documentary.

Oh yeah! And they also brought me

cause I'm an atheist...

just to show the other side of the coin

regarding paranormal phenomena.

So yeah, I don't believe in anything.

-Are you ready?

-No.

But now I am!

-What a clown.

-Alright, let's go.

-What's up?

-Take your seat.

Are you alright?

What about you?

Do you believe in ghosts?

Are you recording?

No, I didn't CHOOSE to be an atheist...

I just decided to be different

and think a little.

So you just don't believe at all?

No. I don't believe in God, the Devil,

or this paranormal stuff.

Maybe that's cuz you

have never seen something...

No, that ain't why. I believe

everything has a rational explanation.

No, not everything.

What doesn't have an explanation?

Well, psychokinesis,

extrasensory perception.

Those things don't have an explanation.

Yeah, I don't believe in them at all.

Maybe you shouldn't be so close-minded

'cause you could have

something in front of you,

and you won't see it

due to being so stubborn.

See! That's the thing! People condemn me for my

beliefs, well, my lack of belief in this case.

But I'm not hurting anyone...

I'm not worshipping Satan...

doing rituals and stuff like that...

Well, you know real Satanists are the ones

who don't believe in anything,

because Satan means "Adverse,"

adverse to religion.

So what do you call guys who

do rituals and sacrifices?

Jackasses.

Ok, quit the chit-chat,

we'e here!

Look at it!

We could do the interviews

near the truck and on the stairs.

And the other thing...

-Check it out.

What's going on?

This place is charged with energy.

We are not alone. I feel a presence...

Hey... I.. also can feel a presence...

A presence of tourists eating hot dogs.

-You are so annoying.

-We'll see...

Excuse me, the Sanatorium

is closed today.

I have a permit that authorizes

me to kick you out,

so move along.

Thanks!

Mariana, do me a favor, some kid

ran in, get him out, please.

Alright, I guess.

This place is trashed.

Hey, kid!

Kid, you need to get out.

Nobody should be in here.

Where's that little boy?

You've got to be kidding me.

Oh no...

Arturo, come here!

You don't know what

just happened to me!

The kid that Esteban

told me to chase out...

disappeared in front of my eyes!

-What kid are you talking about?

That kid Esteban wanted me

to chase out, he disappeared!

-The kid just vanished.

-lt was a ghost!

I believe you, Mariana,

but you can't go in alone.

-You have to tell me.

-I know!! I can't go on my own.

-Do you need a hug?

-Are you for real?

So, Lulu, what do you

have in your magic bag?

Magic bag?

I have holy water,

a white candle, sauce,

tree crust and salt.

-What's the salt for?

-Salt is used for protection.

In ancient times, it was even used

as money, hence the word "salary."

So you know how

to cast magic spells?

I only do white magic.

And what do you need for that?

Why are you interested?

-I'm just wondering.

You're probably wondering if I can

cast a love spell, huh?

Oh, no...

But, can you?

Papillo, Gaston, Kurt, Mariana,

come over here.

Arturo, Lulu, please...

This is Ignacio.

Ignacio, this is the crew.

Ignacio takes care of the place and

wants to tell us a couple of things.

Well, first of alll, please don't

call me Ignacio. Call me "Nacho."

And please be respectful in

this place.

Now, come with me and I'll show

you the Sanatorium.

Wait a minute, it's just going to be

Luis, Mariana and myself.

No, I think it's better if we all come.

Well, alright.

Thanks for your permission.

These used to be the rooms,

they have the worst vibe.

What's up, Lulu,

do you feel anything?

Lots of things, there was

a lot of suffering here.

You don't say! Could it be cuz

it was a hospital? Duh!

What was that room for?

I don't know.

There's a shitload of bees.

Be careful!

I'll bring some

bug spray to kill them.

No, you shouldn't misinterpret. Some animals

and insects are really guardian spirits.

-Really?

-Yeah.

If she gets stung by a bee...

will she still think it's a guardian spirit?

Was there an exorcism here?

There's been lots of things here.

Check out the dead bees!

We should stay away

from that room.

-What's in there?

-Nothing.

What was that?!

The place is really old,

so everything makes a sound.

Lulu recommended that,

to motivate the paranormal activity,

we had to bring objects

used at the Sanatorium.

Or close enough:

this picture is 40 years old.

We have this old bed frame,

same with that rocking chair.

This doctor's gown goes with

that stand we found.

Papillo, can you show to the

camera what you are doing?

Sure! These are the security cameras

that go in the rooms

we'll be monitoring.

We also put microphones

to hear everything.

Man, this chair is not cool.

What about these things?

That was the tableware

back in the day, this was the kitchen.

So the ghosts can sit and eat?

Right!

Hey, guys, in this room the activity

goes through the roof.

You guys f***ing with me?

What?

-Well, the...

-Oh man, the activity is going down.

Now it's going down
