We are not killing zombies, Zak.

We are documenting evidence

for the paranormal.

We are called The Ghost Team.

Not The Zombie Team.

A Ghost Team?

Spirit Catchers?

Was that your team

at cheer camp?

- These are free, right?

- Don't touch that stuff.

Why? What's in there?

It's uh, tactical equipment

and probably safer

for everyone if we--

Is this a paintball gun?

What the frik is this for?

Dude, I play on the weekends.

Oh, you got too old

for laser tag? Had to

register as a pedophile?

No. I did not have to do that.

Wait a minute, wait a minute.

Oh, please yes!

Are these temporary tattoos?

Duh.

No, they are permanent.

I know I make fun of you

because you are a huge pansy,

but that's too much.

They give them for free

when you win. So, I guess

the joke's on you.

It means I win a lot.

- Oh wow, congrats, good job.

- Thanks.

Do me a favor, if you see

a zombie. Don't shoot him

in the chest. Aim for the head.

Otherwise they are going

to come after you like...

Gotta grab a baseball bat,

a hockey stick

or a classic shotgun.

Ah, this was still alive.

Quit it. Stop it!

- Hey!

- What?

- Knock it off.

- He started it Louis.

Let's chill for

a minute, alright?

Thank you.

Oh, jeez.

Are you serious?

Can we please not play

this song again?

So why Ghost Team?

It's a name I thought would be cute.

Not cute, but cool.

- The Poltergeist.

- That's good.

A really good name.

The Night Bumpers.

Bumpers of the Night.

Okay, why do you

do this to yourself?

Better than

Night Watchers.

I think this is it.

Guess we're going to walk

from here.

Should we start unloading?

Yeah. But um...

Hold on.

Oh, you made T-shirts?

Yeah.

I thought we were making

sweet jackets.

Yeah, well...

I thought it might be cool plus,

hey, you can see with these

things way easier in the dark.

Oh! These are awesome!

- Yeah.

- Yes!

Yeah, there's plenty.

I didn't know what sizes

everybody was, so...

Maybe we should switch.

Think I'm going to need

some help.

- Pull it down.

- Pull it down?

Look at this!

This is great!

This place is perfect.

Oh, great! Found the murder hut.

This is it! Hey, Zak!

This is where we're going

to set the comm check

with Victoria.

Ross, Stan, why don't you guys

start rigging up the barn.

Ellie, you and I can hit

the workshops and the cabins.

Oh and uh...

Don't forget to take a walkie.

There's no cellphone reception

out here.

Go to channel one and follow me.

Did you say

comm check?

Well, this is f***ing creepy.

It's perfect.

Let's get to it.

Ooh, lovely.

Put a camera right there.

That way we get a full

sweep of the room.

Good vantage point.

I'm glad you're here.

Yeah, me too.

So it smells like death.

So that's good.

Oh, Jesus!

How are we looking, Zak?

That should do it.

The sun's about to go down.

So let's all rendezvous, run a comm check

and gear up!

Did you say comm check again?

Alright. I think

we are ready to go.

Zak, come out here and brief us

on some of the equipment

we have.

You guys, listen carefully.

This is military grade stuff

we are using.

Yeah, about that.

I wasn't able to get

all the equipment on your list.

But I do have two digital

cameras with night vision

settings and

I've duct taped them

to a baseball helmet.

Also reports everything

you see too.

I was able to score

a thermal imaging camera.

I had to fake an order. Some

guy went home with a sub woofer.

Who cares, right?

Sound recorders, I got.

And electro magnetic

field detectors, also got, so...

Hey, you're welcome.

- No. This is going

to work, I think.

- Great.

Alright. I think everyone

understands this.

For the first leg we are going

to stick together and then

we are going to

split into teams.

Everyone's going to get

a different partner, different

locations on the hour,

every hour. Now remember,

Most important part.

It doesn't matter what you

experience, If you don't catch

any evidence of it.

So, keep your cameras, your

recorders rolling, always.

With any luck, tomorrow morning

we'll found some ghosts.

- It looks like someone lived here.

- Yeah.

Maybe they never left.

We must be

very careful.

Opening a doorway to the beyond

can sometimes let things through

that we just might not want

to deal with.

Spirits!

Spirits!

If there are any

spirits present...

let them make themselves known.

Known!

Come forward!

It could

take a while.

Who's moving it?

No one.

X.

J.

Seven.

What does it mean?

That we just moved it

through a bunch

of random letters?

- What if it's some

sort of a code?

- Yeah, that's what I'm thinking.

Wait, wait, wait, wait!

Something is trying to

communicate with us.

It's a...

A spirit! A lost spirit!

The connection is very

weak, uh...

It's like a bad

transistor radio!

I can, I can...

I can hear the voice.

It's a uh...

The name...

No, no, no.

Yes. Alex was coming through

till you distracted me

and interrupted. Please.

He says...

He misses you.

But he had a tough

crossing over.

But he's at peace.

This is such bull.

Is Ross an adult virgin?

- No!

- Whoa!

Shut up, Alex!

Grab your equipment,

grab your stuff, we're

gonna go check this out.

Alright well, I think

we should split up.

Ross, Zak, why don't you guys

take the comm channel

for the first shift, you know?

10-four!

Alright Zak, let's go.

Follow my lead.

Stay close behind.

Victoria, Stan, you guys head

out to the garage and...

Ellie, I guess you are with me.

Actually, can I go

with Victoria?

Uh, yeah, sure.

Yeah, sure. No problem.

Stan, you are going to

be here with me.

Be careful.

Well, I'm not getting any

EMF readings over here.

Maybe we should uh...

- Maybe we should--

- I got something.

What?

Check this out.

What is that?

It's like a vapor or something.

That's warmer than

everything else.

Oh, my God!

My heart is pounding.

Mine too.

- Get a little closer.

- I don't want to spook it.

Roger roger.

We are almost in it now.

It's all around us.

Look at that.

- Give it to me, give it to me.

- Okay.

Stop stop! You're right

next to it.

It's all around us.

You smell that?

Yeah.

Smells like eggs.

Rotten eggs.

It's tangy.

Definitely paranormal.

Definitely paranormal.

Clear so far.

You don't have to

report all clear.

- What?

- I didn't say anything.

What? No!

What is it?

What?

False alarm.

Don't do that.

Don't get your panties

in a bunch.

Can you really communicate

with the dead?

As easily as I can

communicate with the living.

Is there somebody you

want to communicate with?

No.

You can talk to Puerto Ricans.

First one's free.

That's weird. It just spiked

and then went back down.

You and I will head to

the stables, Zak and Stan try

some EVP work in the cabin.

Victoria, you and Ross man

the comm check.

Copy that.

Copy that.

I'm going to talk to you more

about this, but I guess not now.

Yeah. That's not what

we are getting paid to do.

Uh, well, we're not

getting paid.

You are not?
