Haunted Page #2

Synopsis: Professor David Ash is invited to Edbrook to calm the fears of the elderly nanny of the Mariell family. Nanny Tess is seeing things, and Ash's book debunking such phenomenon makes him a good choice to set her mind at ease and convince her she is just tired and stressed. But soon after arriving David too begins to doubt his senses, and watching the odd behavior of the three grown Mariell children doesn't make his task any easier. In fact, he begins to think Nanny Tess isn't really just tired and stressed out after all.

I hate rats.

There were rats.

When I opened the door.

I could not do, because...

Someone was pulling the other side.

Someone as strong as me.

It must be the ghost of Nana.

Poor Nana.

Help you.

Care.

David.

Sit down and eat breakfast.

I promise, no...

All right.

It's a chase.

What more do you want from me?

It was not enough?

Leave me alone.

I can go?

Sure, Professor.

Are you okay?

Hoped we had a little chat.

I can sit?

Please sit down.

He asked me to come

because he hopes to discover something.

You expect to discover?

He has always lived in

the Mansion Edbrook?

Many years.

The children were born here.

His father was a diplomat,

I was always outside.

Ms. Mariell always accompanied him.

And the children?

I care for them until

age had to go to boarding school...

...In England.

Looked forward to the holidays...

...Back to Edbrook.

To be together.

Where are the parents?

The two have died.

Died here at home?

They... died in India.

It's the parents you think you see?

The mother?

Or is the father, Mr. Marielle?

He was a good man.

May he rest in heaven.

Mrs. Webb.

Why not tell them, you here...

...And that their children

are well cared for...

...And that can be left in peace.

Christina.

- David.

I did not tell at breakfast.

It must be Simon, even deny it.

It's so boring.

I figured it was him.

But why?

In the Name of God Nana and his haunts?

Torment?

Christina...

...She is disturbed.

I do not need, it requires a doctor.

So we're not happy?

Delighted?

Now I can sleep better.

That means that leave us?

I want to stay...

...To convince your Nana,

there are no ghosts in Edbrook.

Great.

Then stay for centuries.

Empjeme.

Push?

- Yes.

Stronger.

- Stronger?

Dr. Doyle will call to come.

It is known the family for years.

Good.

I can ask...

...That is above,

in the locked room?

The fourth of my parents.

Nana Tess as maintained as a sanctuary.

Stronger.

I did not know the formal attire for dinner.

Usually not.

Not when we're alone.

In fact let's go.

Is it rude?

No, not even for a bit.

It's a commitment we can not cancel.

Nana take care,

is an excellent cook.

I hope you feel at home.

Will.

I feel bad for this.

Please I have much work to do.

We delayed.

No.

You do not...

Why?

Please sit professor.

To talk to,

Mrs. Webb?

They're still here?

They will always be here.

I've been to hundreds of homes...

Countless seances...

...And I have not seen anything

can not be explained rationally.

Everyone I met,

had one thing in common.

The pain.

I thought it would help me.

Mrs. Webb I'm trying.

You're telling me you do not see...

nothing?

I see nothing.

The problem here is that you if you do.

If you just give me some details...

Try to prove...

...There is nothing to fear at home.

There are spirits in this house.

I know you see...

Breathe.

Just breathe.

Are you all right?

Breathe deep.

Come sit here.

I have things to do,

but I'll be here if I need.

If I had known,

would have smiled for you.

Dr. Henry Doyle.

Thank God you're here.

Thank God if you will,

but better thank her Christina.

Mrs. Webb did not feel well,

your nerves are shattered.

Christina told me.

Where's Nana?

- I wear with it.

Very nice of you.

Tell me... if you please.

You expect to find

all those wires and gunpowder?

The ghost of poor Nana, maybe?

Or someone getting

pass through the ghost.

We were talking,

and suddenly had a seizure.

It seemed that something was choking.

I was hoping that forgotten about the ghost.

It used to be so strong

before the death of Messrs. Mariell.

Meet the family of long ago?

I've always known.

I was at the birth of three children.

I see.

I have not been of much help here.

Perhaps a familiar face calm a little.

Leave us alone for a moment, please.

No, please.

I'll be fine...

Sure, Nana.

They did well to call me.

She is suffering emotional trauma.

I gave him something to help her sleep.

Is there anything I can do?

Try to convince that Edbrook is haunted.

I'll try.

She is resting now.

Let it rest a while.

Christina knows where

find me if you need me.

See...

...I know where the exit is.

Thank you, doctor.

What panic?

Of course not.

Sorry, I could not endure.

Naughty girl.

Perhaps, behind all the cynicism,

only one question.

Well, doubt is healthy.

Serves to test our convictions.

I expected to find,

when she opened the door?

Someone playing the piano.

Who?

I do not know.

But still opened.

It is very brave.

An adventurous spirit.

What was that?

A rat?

A shadow moved, was nothing.

He returned early?

If... the party was boring.

I said I had a headache.

Someone brought me home.

He is in love with me.

I presumed to say?

No, not you.

It's beautiful.

Thank you.

Reminds me of my mother.

Not funny, like music

the memories become so vivid?

Yes, indeed.

What the hell was that?

Are you all right?

I see you have been working hard teacher.

I play this?

Yes, it was intermittent

and it only went up a bit.

Do not touch the gas in

this part of the house...

...Is very dangerous.

Oh yes, I realize.

This place is a fire trap.

If you understand me?

Time to go to sleep Christina.

Good morning.

How is Mrs. Webb?

It is a little better.

I'll be honest with you, David.

I particularly I did not want you to come.

I agreed because I thought

that would help the Nana.

But it seems to have worsened.

I'm not a healer.

You will not believe Edbrook

This haunted. Truth?

I have not found some evidence.

So, is there anything

in particular to keep it here?

He was invited to come to help Nana.

Do not abuse the hospitality of my sister.

I finish my work tonight

and I'm leaving tomorrow as scheduled.

Unless you want to do now.

Tomorrow is fine.

Good morning.

You and Robert seem be getting along.

Think?

Sleep well?

Okay, thanks.

And you?

Very bad.

I dreamed all night.

With what?

With you.

Something fell into their traps?

No, I'm afraid not.

Do not be discouraged,

that's good news.

You talk to her?

No, not yet.

Nana, good news.

David has not found any ghost.

Sad, no?

She is so lost.

I knew I was going tomorrow?

I have work to do.

Perhaps not let it go.

Enough.

I sign your book?

With pleasure.

You can support me.

Please do not move,

My handwriting is terrible.

'For the bold and charming Christina'.

'Never forget'.

Thanks, David.

Simon.

I did it.

You should not do that.

He is impossible.

You're getting so boring, Christina.

We need some fun here.

Robert is always serious

Tess and Nana is crazy.

I'm always being watched.

Come with me.

Where are we going?

I want to spend more time with you,

without being disturbed my brothers.

Do not argue.

Already decided.

It's your last day,

I want to use it.

Why return to England?

The irresistible call of the roots, I think.

What?

Talk like a vegetable.

On behalf of the empire

It is an honor to have you with us.

Herbs for luck?
