Ghosthunters Page #2

And since none of us is psychic...

we created these goggles...

to detect the presence

of spiritual entities.

You're saying I could actually see

ghosts with these?

I would love to try it out.

Careful.

Amy! Amy!

Are you okay? I heard you scream.

Yeah. I'm... I'm fine.

- You're still not convinced, are you?

- I'm not saying I don't believe in it.

I'm just saying that most of the time

there's another explanation for it.

Alright, well, the machine's ready.

- Yeah.

- Let's go.

Hey.

I think Amy might have found

something on the radar.

- What did you see?

- It looked like moving shadows, but...

as I told Neil, it could have been

light from outside.

Keep an open mind.

Constant skepticism can be unhealthy.

Okay.

Back to the machine.

Tell me where we are in all this.

Okay, so I re-calibrated the machine.

Previously, the magnets didn't have

their own voltage setting.

So I installed 3 magnets

with their own motor.

Which means they can work independently

against each other. Alright?

Each magnet has a specific polarized path,

and with each one being an integer,

we can hone in on the exact cross-

electromagnetic fields to capture any spirits.

What are you measuring

your magnetic charge against?

Your scanners are measuring

a spiritual energy in voltages, right?

- Yes, SI voltage. SI base in coulombs.

- Okay, well, same thing.

Except we're on the negative side

to counter any activity.

Okay.

You guys ready?

Let's go get some ghosts.

Test these new modifications.

Wanna give this another go?

I'll try to be more open this time.

Let's see if we can find something

up here first.

Okay.

I think I got something.

Over here by the box.

It just looks like some kind of mask.

- Over here?

- No, left corner.

I can feel something.

SI's only 115.2.

That very small.

Are you sure it's a ghost?

I don't know what it is.

Looks like some kind of blob

on the glasses.

- That's probably residual memory.

- No, my readings confirm it's paranormal.

Give it a shot anyway.

Setting stat volt at negative 115.2.

Standing by.

Powering up the decoder.

We're set.

I've got something.

It's in the machine.

Ectoplasm.

Take one of us, Henry,

we'll take one of you.

An eye for an eye!

Tooth for a tooth.

We did it!

Easy, easy, easy!

We don't wanna break this vial.

Remember, ectoplasm disintegrates

within moments of coming

in contact with the elements.

We don't want to miss any chance of

losing identification with any ghost DNA.

We have to get this right if we have

any chance of getting Martha and Gabby.

Is there any way your can validate

your claim that this is ectoplasm?

I'm gonna work on some code.

It's a start. We'll know once

we get more ectoplasm samples.

Let's go. We don't have much time left.

No, no, no, no. Wait.

Did anyone ever stop to think

that this can all be dangerous?

We're merely retrieving information

at this point, Devon.

Exactly! From another dimension.

Priest, shamans, and pagans,

they have rituals to protect themselves.

We know what we're doing. We'll have

our protocols fully up and running,

- when this is going.

- So now you're an expert in occult history.

I don't see anything else

that could be paranormal left.

The attic seems clean.

If your claims are true,

then perhaps we should go downstairs

and try to find more of those samples

Neil was talking about.

With the new mods on the machine,

do you think we can get this thing mobile

- and get it there?

- Goggles and scanners are already mobile.

All we need to do is separate the demagnetizer

and the rest of the machine can stay here.

- How are you going to do that?

- Well, I'll need a motor.

Probably a generator.

Definitely gonna be battery operated.

I saw some stuff laying around outside.

Maybe you can use it.

- It's old and rusty though.

- Okay. Yeah. I'll take a look.

Bring me back some chain, would you?

I wanna stabilize the machine.

It was shaking when

the demagnetizer was going off.

Yeah, you got it.

Well... looks like the analysis works.

But I can't make out

any language in the code.

This is your 'ghost DNA'

you were talking about.

How do you guys even read all this stuff?

Well, this is what the computer analyzed.

Decrypting it, it's another story.

We've got to know

what ghosts we're capturing.

We have to be able to identify them.

We don't know if it's Martha, Gabby,

could be any ghost in here.

- You think there could be a pattern?

- Everything has a pattern.

Basic mathematics and chaos theory.

It's just figuring how much.

Interesting.

I wonder if...

- What's happening here?

- I used Maxwell's equation on the data.

Maxwell's equation?

Essentially, Maxwell's equation

is to classical electromagnetism.

What Newton's law of motion

and law of universal gravitation are to...

classical mechanics.

- Binary.

- Yeah.

I wonder...

What if we use the cassette speaker

as a output decoder.

You can decode this binary into sound?

To sound waves.

No idea what we'll come up with,

no guarantees.

Messages from the afterlife.

If our EVP...

can pick up specific information

only the deceased person would know,

that would be our proof.

Wouldn't matter what the message is.

What's going on with Neil?

Still looking, I guess.

I'll go check on him.

Perfect.

Neil.

- Find something?

- Yeah.

I found this old motor and a chainsaw.

I think I can get it to work.

Hopefully the wiring is still good.

Come on. Let's head back

so I can work on this.

Who are you talking to?

I thought it was Henry right

beside me and I turn around,

I look up, Henry is right there

in front of me.

S... yeah.

And the ghost did nothing to you?

Said nothing to you?

I thought all the ghosts

are supposed to be inside.

Ghosts do move around.

We have to get moving

if the ghosts are moving around.

Wanna get started finishing up

the modifications on the demagnetizer.

I'll clean up the code.

Make it simple and more efficient.

Guy, you can always use

seals to keep them in.

For being a bunch of ghost hunters, you sure

don't know much about the occult, do you?

Occult and paranormal science

isn't exactly the same.

Maybe you should try this.

Clavicula Salomonis Regis.

- What is this?

- It's the Lesser Key of Solomon.

It's a grimoire. 17th century collection

of books used to conjure the spirits.

We can use the seals inside

to keep the ghost from getting in.

Or out of the place.

I'm using science.

You're using occult theories.

So what else do you have?

These seals have been used for centuries,

and if it works why not use it?

It's not gonna ruin your little

science experiment just trying, is it?

Alright.

What do these seals do?

If you draw them around the house,

in front of the windows, in front of doors,

you can stop the ghost from getting out.

But we need salt.

Alright, I'll look in the kitchen.

Might get lucky.

Let me come.

I can help you draw it out.

I can be of use around here, you know?
