Henrietta.

Henrietta.

Henrietta.

Where are you, child?

Henrietta. You down there?

How could you do such a thing to

one of God's innocent creatures?

Answer me!

And on your birthday

of all days.

You have committed

a very grave sin, Henrietta.

And you deserve

a terrible punishment.

Therefore, you are going

to remain here in the dark

until I say you've had enough.

And pray the Lord

to have mercy on your soul.

Boy, I just don't know

what to do.

Something's come over her.

It's like she were under

a spell or a curse.

How can you say that?

She's just a little girl, Sam.

Our only child.

Holy Christ.

What's come over her?

Sam, what happened?

Oh, my God!

No.

No.

Roger, Sherry.

Just a little static.

Listen, I can appreciate

but your feelings about

Simon le Bon...

Jesus, you've been talking

about him for about a week now.

Listen, how does your boyfriend

feel about him?

Sherry, I gotta take a call.

I'll be back.

This is K1UR signing off.

- Hello?

- Hi.

Hi. I thought

you'd be here by now.

I got held up at the library.

I'll see you later.

Later,

what do you mean, "later"?

Listen, if you're doing

something you shouldn't be,

remember, you might

lose your scholarship.

I know, it's back to taking

tourists around Amsterdam,

I'm not that stupid.

Okay, okay,

sorry, I mentioned it.

- I made chili.

- Keep it hot.

I'll be there

in about two hours.

Right.

- And another thing,

- Yeah?

Keep yourself hot, too.

K1UR, this is WA1ZLQ calling.

You got a copy?

Yeah, I copy, John.

Hey, did you find out

who's more popular in Denver?

Kim Basinger or Kelly LeBrock?

It's neck and neck.

Hey, why don't you

ask your computer, man.

By the way, Paul, how are your

data processing exams going?

Well, I could use

a little help from Kelly.

Listen, John, I got some things

I gotta do.

I'll get back to you tonight

after the Celtics game.

This is K1UR signing off.

Okay, catch you later.

This is WA1ZLQ.

A penny for your thoughts.

Something really weird

happened last night.

Okay, out with it.

Well, it was about 11:30,

I was trying to reach Denver.

Where, all of a sudden,

the radio just went crazy.

I mean, completely crazy.

So what's so weird about that?

'Cause it never happened before.

I mean, all the circuits

just went haywire.

And then, all of a sudden,

I heard this voice

calling for help.

And then a terrible scream.

I mean,

a really terrible scream.

- Who was it?

- I don't know.

But whoever it was, he sounded

really scared to death.

I'm starving,

I'm gonna get some chili.

Get me some too, will you?

- Okay.

- Extra jalapeo.

Damn, I was supposed

to call K7ET.

K1UR calling K7ET.

You got a copy. Come on, back.

Let's try 1790 MHZ.

Martha, come here, quick.

Come here.

Get me that tape recorder.

Quick.

Who are you?

What do you want?

For God's sakes...

Somebody help me.

Help!

Help!

K7ET calling K1VR.

Can you hear me, Paul? Over.

- Yeah, I copy.

- It's about time.

I've been trying to raise you

on any number of channels.

Uh, you got a glitch

or just choking the chicken?

Could it be

some stupid HAM operator

playing a practical joke?

No one would pull a stunt

like that. It's unethical.

- Besides it sounded real to me.

- Yeah. Real.

Somebody help me.

Help!

That's enough, Paul.

Please turn it off.

I think

we should call the police.

Yeah, and tell them what?

Hey, isn't any way you can

track down those voices.

Find out where they came from.

You mean, find the radio

that transmitted the signal?

Yeah, I guess.

Hypothetically it's possible,

but it's tough.

First I have to feed

the pile of frequency data

into the computer,

compare

the sound wave variables,

calculate the distances

before I...

Okay, okay. Just do it.

I'll make some coffee.

Make it strong.

You couldn't let me

sleep a little longer?

We gotta find that radio,

a crime could've been committed.

Maybe even murder.

I hope your computer

got it right.

Is it much further?

I don't think so.

The signal's getting stronger.

Hey, watch out.

Why doesn't he

get out of the way?

A**hole.

I can take the abuse

as long as I don't have to walk.

You guys got room in there

for all of me?

Sure.

Get in the back.

Thanks. You know, hitch is fun.

It's the hiking part that sucks.

Massachusetts sucks too, huh?

Come to think of it,

just about every place sucks.

Hey, you guys believe in ghosts?

- No.

- Well, I do.

Quit it. Would you quit it?

Great stuff, huh?

Will you cut the crap?

So long.

All right.

You should believe

in ghosts, pea brain.

Son of a b*tch.

He stole $5 off me

with that stupid trick.

Are you sure?

Yeah, it was right here

in my pocket.

I bet he rips people off

all the time with that thing.

What?

This is it.

Radio message had to come

from that house.

Nobody lives there any more.

Just rats.

We were just looking around.

Where are you from?

Boston. We're from Boston.

What are you snooping around

here for anyhow?

Well, we were looking for

a place to rent for the summer.

You see, I'm in data processing

over at...

What the hell is that?

Computers.

Computers.

He's really scary.

I thought, I don't know,

he was going to attack us.

You got some imagination.

Just a bum.

Okay, but why did he say

we were snooping?

We just got here.

Maybe that guy was right.

Really does look deserted.

Do you mean we came all this way

for nothing?

Paul.

Paul, I don't like this place.

It's depressing.

There's something evil

about the house.

An evil aura.

Let's get out of here, please.

Come on, don't be silly.

Martha. Let's try

upstairs, okay.

Listen.

So the computer was right.

An Yaesu FT, for Christ's sakes.

What are you doing up here?

I said,

what are you doing up here?

Nothing.

We were just looking for that.

Oh, yeah? It's mine.

- You live here?

- No.

We're here on vacation.

My Camper's parked

out in the yard.

I'm here with my brother

and his girlfriend.

Our sister, Tina's with us too.

My name's Jim Dalon.

Well, what about this?

Well, since the house was empty,

I didn't think

anybody would mind.

Get good reception up here.

Hey, who are you?

Just a HAM operator.

Like yourself.

You mind listening to this

for a second.

Who are you?

What do you want?

For God's sakes...

Somebody help me.

Help!

Help!

Well, what do you think?

We're thinking

it all came from here.

I don't get it.

It was your voice.

You can't deny that.

Okay, so it was my voice.

And the scream

sound like my sister, Tina.

It doesn't

make any sense though.

I swear, I don't get it.

When did you tape that?

Last night about 11:30.

No way.

I did bring

the radio up here yesterday.

But I didn't turn it on.

We went to bed early.

Come on, who're you kidding?

I'm not. Look, I can prove it.

I still have to set the aerial

up on the roof.

Come on, let's go take a look.

Wait here.

- Turn the motor off.

- What?

Susan, turn the damn motor off,

will you? Geez.

What the hell was that?
