- An AP-xH shift. Yes!

- Shift.

I mean, for sure. That's...

Uh, guys?

I don't think we're alone.

Holy crap.

Let me have the camera. Thank you.

Okay.

How can you be eating right now?

Once you POD--

Are you seeing what I'm seeing?

Good God.

Class 4 apparition.

Distinct human form.

This can't be happening.

Oh, it's happening, all right.

That's the most beautiful thing

I have ever seen.

I'm gonna try to talk to it.

Just be careful,

she could be malevolent.

Yeah, just make sure you're recording it.

- Yeah, I'm getting it all.

- Okay.

Just be cautious.

I think she wants

to communicate with us.

I knew it, I knew it, I knew it.

It's okay. She seems peaceful.

Hello.

I think you're gorgeous.

Hello. Hi.

Um, my name is Erin Gilbert,

Doctor of Particle Physics at Columbia...

- Yes!

- Oh, God!

She's getting away! Come on!

'Hum'. hurry!

- Run!

- Get it, get it!

- Where'd it go? Where'd it go?

- Where'd it go? Where'd it go?

- There!

Oh!

What just happened?

Abby, what just happened?

I'll tell you what just happened.

We saw a ghost.

- We saw a ghost!

- Yeah, we saw a ghost!

We saw a ghost! Oh, my God!

- We saw a ghost.

- We saw a ghost!

Oh, my God, we saw a ghost!

We were right! We weren't crazy!

- Oh. Oh.

- Oh. Oh.

We saw a ghost!

Ghosts are real! Ghosts are real!

I believe in ghosts 'cause I just saw one!

They're real!

Who is that?

- Dr. Bronstein saw this on Reddit.

- Hmm.

It was re-blogged

from a site entitled Ghost News.

Not a publication I'd heard of.

I hope you understand that

when we give someone tenure...

Oh, I accept your tenure.

When we give someone tenure,

they represent this institution.

But this is just not

what this institution is about.

Ah, Dr. Gibbons.

Found mold in my office, so I gotta move.

Don't tell anyone.

I don't want people to panic or anything.

Kids, hello.

I didn't get fired. Even though

I have the old plant in the box.

Margaret, hi.

Just taking my plant out for some air.

Just like to carry it in this box

with all my other personal stuff.

Phil. Phil. Hi. Phil, um...

If you turn around, you'll see me.

I'm right behind you.

Oh, yeah. He's looking at that chart.

Couldn't figure that out, either.

Call me when you figure that out.

Haven't been able to.

Samantha. Hi. How are you?

Ugh. Sixty. Seventy.

Sometimes, I like to

put all my stuff from my office in a box

and just do some exercises

and just use it as weights. Eighty.

Well, I hope you're happy.

That video you posted got me fired.

Fired!

- No! God, no! We will all die.

- Turn to ash from the inside out.

- What?

- Put it down. Carefully.

- Put it... Put it down... Oh, my God.

- Fired!

After years,

years of hard work.

And ass-kissing.

God, I kissed so many

different kinds of asses.

Erin, we're sorry that you lost your job.

But, I mean, there is

kind of a glass is half full aspect of it.

I mean, we saw a real ghost.

You know, and she was beautiful.

Till she dislocated her jaw

and ecto-projected all over you.

Yeah, that stuff went everywhere,

by the way, in every crack.

But, I got to say,

even that was kind of spectacularly beautiful.

I did detect a heavy ionization discharge.

I mean, I could smell it.

A full-torso transmogrification

with corporeal aggression.

I mean, how often does that happen?

I mean, they want us to be quiet about that?

We are not gonna be quiet about that.

And it's not just us.

We have over 100 comments already.

And they're not all crazies.

Come here, I want to show you this.

Read that.

"Ain't no b*tches gonna hunt no ghosts."

Oh, no, no. Okay.

The one below it.

This woman is describing

a Class 3 haunting in her house.

She can't just move. She can't call the police.

She can't call her friends.

Who's she gonna call?

Ghost Jumpers!

Tonight, the Ghost Jumpers

make contact with the ghost of Bigfoot.

God! These phonies!

I mean, you know what?

These guys are the reason you got fired.

It's because of stuff like this that makes it

impossible for us to do our real work.

This cannot be the best option for people.

Okay, we are on the cusp of something here,

a real discovery.

Unlike Columbia,

this institute is 100% behind us.

Really?

Erin, this is what we have dreamed about

since we were little kids.

I know that if you come and join us here,

they are gonna be so pumped.

We just have to go upstairs

and ask for more money.

I just honestly didn't realize

your department still existed.

- What?

- Come on, ghosts?

I will not let the 12-year reputation

of this fine institution be besmirched by you!

Oh, come on! Suddenly this place

has a classy reputation to uphold?

You're only dean now

because the last dean went to jail.

Are you saying that I'm not qualified?

You spell science with a

And what's upsetting about that is

I don't think you know that that's wrong.

This is an institution of higher learning.

And if you guys want to study "ghosts,"

do it somewhere else,

because I have two words for you.

Let me guess, "Get out"?

- No, he's gonna say "suck it."

- He's not gonna say "suck it."

Suck it.

- You were right.

- You know...

Oh, my gosh.

I think it might be a ghost.

Oh, no, it's not. It's just a bird.

Bye. There's the door.

Later days. Can you hear this?

Let me turn it up.

Oh, my God.

This is incredibly immature behavior.

Caught it.

Just a minor setback.

You know what, guys?

I think we can really do this.

We can become the first scientists

to prove the existence of the paranormal.

All we have to do

is find an entity and capture it

and bring it into a controlled environment.

That's all!

Hey! There's the Erin I remember.

Welcome back.

- Thank you.

- Nice.

Okay, we should probably

get this equipment out of here.

- They're gonna want it back.

- I thought this stuff was yours.

- All stolen.

- No...

Hey! That worthless garbage

belongs to this school!

Scatter! Scatter! Scatter!

Go, go, go, scatter!

Hey. Uh, good morning.

Okay.

Hey, how you doing, sir? Got a Metro...

Hey. That's a dope jacket, man.

I got that jacket.

You know what? It's a sweater.

I made a mistake.

You have a good day, all right?

Whoa. Hey! How you doing, man?

They'll always ignore you.

They are walking sewage,

concerned only with their own trivial matters.

Okay. Um...

When the Fourth Cataclysm begins,

laborers, such as yourself,

will be among the last led to the butchery.

So, make the most of your extra time.

You are just a bundle of joy, ain't ya?

You have a good day with your crazy ass.

Wow!

I wonder what train he taking.

Is he going on the tracks?

Oh, man...

You want to use the bathroom,

there's a perfectly nice bathroom

upstairs at Starbucks.

Hey, hey!

Hey, you're not supposed to be

down here, man. Only subway...

Whoa!

What in the sweet hell?

Exquisite.

Uh, I'm cool, dude. Yeah.

Forget this, man!

Forget this!

ROWAN". Aldridge Mansion? Check.

Seward Street subway station?

Check.

Well done, Rowan.
