Ghost Patrol

[crow squawking]

[thumps]

[yells] Ghost!

[eerie RINGTONE plays, buzzes]

- [phone beeps]

- [voice chattering]

We've got a sighting!

Ghost Patrol time!

[barking, panting]

[barks]

[zippers whine]

[rumbling]

[barks, panting]

[bicycle bells ringing]

[faint bells ringing]

It's in there! It's in there!

[girl] The ghost? You saw it?

I heard it.

I felt its presence, its very being.

And then, I could sense it

coming toward me,

its ghostly vapor reaching out.

Then what did you do?

Are you kidding?

I got my aura outta there!

I'm not sticking around

where there's a ghost.

You did the right thing.

We'll take it from here. Let's go, Spence.

Hold it, Gabi.

We need to scan for evidence

of paranormal activity,

and see if there's any fluctuations

in the magnetic, electric,

and atmospheric energy levels.

Lemme know how that works out for you.

Come on, Spooky!

- [Spooky barks]

- [growls]

Hello?

[clatters]

Here ghostie, ghostie, ghostie.

Come out, come out wherever you are.

Hmm.

[sniffing]

[growls]

Good boy, Spooky.

[device beeping]

Atmospheric readings are abnormal.

Definitely temperature fluctuations.

- We've got a ghost!

- No, we've got a reading,

which could be caused

by the greenhouse conditions.

Or... by a ghost.

Check this out... a ghost whistle!

I just got it yesterday.

It's supposed to disturb the spirits.

[gasps]

[tweets]

[whines]

[groans]

[groaning]

Okay, that's disturbing everyone.

[clattering]

[shutter whirrs, clicks]

Hmm. I don't see anything.

So our ghost is invisible.

But not for long.

I'll dust it and bust it!

Then I'll zap it and trap it. Oh, yeah.

[Spooky whimpers]

[rattling]

[clattering]

[crashing]

- [Spence] It's headed for the door!

- I got it!

[all screaming]

[all]

Ooh!

What's that?

My Ghost-Zapper.

It disrupts magnetic energy.

If the ghost tries to escape,

this'll hold it in place.

At least, that's what it's supposed to do.

Say cheese, you slimy spirit!

[meows]

[slurps, gags]

Oh, there you are, you naughty kitty.

Where have you been, hmm?

[coos]

Miss Whiskers has been missing

for over a week.

This is much better than finding a ghost.

Thank you so much, Ghost Patrol.

[clapping]

Say cheese!

[shutter clicks]

They once found an armadillo in my pantry.

[clicks, whines]

[beeps]

[sighs] Environmental readings

are back to normal.

[growls]

[whimpers]

[sighs]

Come on, Spooky.

Well, that didn't turn out

the way we thought. Again.

Aw, come on. Didn't you get great data?

And weren't the readings

out of the ordinary?

Yeah, but not because of a ghost.

Hey, just because we found a cat,

doesn't mean there wasn't a ghost

in there too.

- Well...

- Exactly!

So you agree that there

could have been a ghost there.

Did I? Based on the evidence,

I'd have to say...

Maybe.

And that's the third "maybe" this month!

[Gabi] We're closing in on those ghosts.

[RINGTONE chiming]

Marco, the Ghost Patrol struck again.

[laughs]

They're so busted!

[laughing]

[Spence] Um, guys...?

Oh, hey, baby brother.

Saw you found a big scary cat!

Ooh!

What a cat-tastrophe.

Looks like you really blew it!

[Marco, sister laughing]

Bet you're "feline" pretty silly

right about now.

Marco, you have a hair out of place.

[gasps]

Seriously, could you dweebs get any lamer?

- Hashtag "embarrassing."

- [keypad clicking]

Harper, aren't you even the least bit

curious about supernatural phenomena?

Sure.

I'm curious how I can be so cool

but related to someone who's so not.

Sis, why don't you two just admit

there's no such thing as ghosts?

[chuckles]

[Marco] Even I know that.

- Hi, Mom.

- Hey, Mrs. Flores.

Hello, Gabriella. Hi, Spence.

[Mrs. Flores grunts]

Find any ghosts today?

- No, I guess not.

- None that we can prove, anyway.

- Hmm. Maybe next time.

- Pff. Unlikely.

Marco...

Sorry, Mom, but I just can't

with this ghost stuff.

It's so embarrassing.

I'm losing followers!

Come on, Marco. Let's just go.

Bye, Mrs. Flores.

Bye, Cat Patrol.

[meows]

Mom, you and Dad believe in ghosts, right?

Well, I do agree there are things

in this world that we can't explain...

like my boss deciding to put Geist Manor

back on the market.

If I want to keep my job,

I'm the one who has to sell it.

What's the problem? Geist Manor's

the coolest building in town.

It's practically a historical landmark.

It's got everything!

It's old, it's creepy,

and it's probably chock-full of ghosts!

Ghosts? In a house I'm supposed to sell?

Unsubstantiated.

We've never actually been inside.

- Yet!

- Don't even think about it!

I have enough to worry about.

Like trying to sell a house

with bad plumbing,

faulty electricity

and a roof that leaks.

Along with trying to sell

all the other houses on my list.

You can do it.

You could sell water to a fish!

- Or something like that.

- Oh, thanks, sweetie.

I try.

Maybe what the house needs

is just a little TLC.

[chuckles]

A lot of TLC. A dump truck of TLC.

Mom! Dad! I'm going to Gabi's.

[Dad] Okay, not too late, please.

[narrator] We're now entering the attic

of the old saw mill.

Will we find the spirit

of Old Man Mackenzie?

- Watching Ghost Search again?

- Yeah.

I don't know why. They never find any.

But I know they're out there.

But how do you know?

A lot of people say

they see ghosts,

but no one's ever been able to prove it.

Right. And?

Think about it.

Every picture ever taken

of a ghost is either out of focus,

or so badly shot

you can't tell what it is.

Exactly!

That means we could be the first

to get definitive photographic evidence.

I would love that.

But I have to wonder why we always

come close to seeing a ghost, but don't.

- Because of the conspiracy!

- Not this again.

Just like Area 51.

They've had alien spacecrafts

for decades,

but won't let anyone see them!

Of course

they'd be hiding ghosts from us!

And "they" are...?

The government!

[whispers] It's always the government.

- And you're basing your theory on...?

- Eh, gut instinct.

Well, that's scientific.

Hey, when you're right, you're right.

We'll see.

[whizzes]

[flutters]

[growls]

[scrapes]

[clatters]

[buzzing]

[rattling]

[creaks]

[fluttering, screeching]

[Spence] It was bats. Again.

But who put them there?

I don't know.

[whispers] "The government"?

- Ha, ha.

- [sighs]

Maybe Harper and Marco are right,

and we're just wasting our time.

- [tires squeak]

- [yelps]

- Look!

- Rr-rowl...?

[crow squawking]

Your mom's sign.

- Yeah, so?

- Not that! In the window!

I just saw something that looked...

[gasps] ghostly.

Probably just a curtain blowing

in the wind. Or a cat.

Hey, I know what I saw.

Gabi, maybe you want to see a ghost

so badly you're making yourself... huh?

Wait. I just saw it too!

- Second floor, third window on the left?

- Yes!

- It looked kind of...

- Ghostly?

Let's go!

[clicks, creaks]

[crystals jingling]

[scanner clicks, whines]

[beeping]

Definitely atmospheric disturbances.

And the electromagnetic energy is spiking!
