Spooky Stakeout

[Spooky music]

[wind blowing]

[water dripping]

Guys???

Where are you?

Remember the first rule

in ghost-hunting?

Stick together.

[floorboard creaks]

If someone's there...

you should know I'm highly

skilled in arm-to-arm combat.

If you get hurt,

it's - it's not my fault.

Ah!

Who are you?!

Alex.

Alex?

That's me.

Sorry I'm late.

This place was

really hard to find.

I'm the reporter

you've been emailing.

I'm here to write a story on

the spooky ghost-hunting team.

- But you're a girl.

- Uh, yeah, of course I am.

Okay, let's get started.

Wait, where are the others?

- I don't know. We...

- We got split up.

I've tried them on the

walkie-talkies but...

[walkie-talkie crackle]

No signal.

Walls are too thick.

Phones don't work either.

- Looks like it's

just me and you then.

Did I scare you?

- Who, me?

- No chance.

[Spooky music]

- This place is dead creepy.

Do you think it's

really haunted?

- It's too early to tell.

- Of course.

I'm sure you have

to do loads of tests

before you can say if a place

is really haunted or not.

How long have you

being hunting ghosts?

- A few years.

I've always believed in ghosts,

the paranormal,

all that mumbo-jumbo.

So I asked a few of my friends

if they wanted to join

my ghost-hunting team.

- Tell me about them.

- Well, there's Noah.

He likes to think

he's in charge but...

I let him think that.

And there's Clan.

He's, like, the biggest

geek on the planet.

I think he's part computer.

Last but not least, Sarah.

She's dead smart.

And, off the record,

a total know-it-all.

[gasps]

- Okay...

So, how would you

describe yourself?

- I don't really like

to talk about myself

but some people say

I'm the handsome

brains of the operation.

- I can see why.

- Okay, so you have

your team in place.

Now what was your first

spooky stakeout?

The one that got you

hooked on the supernatural.

. Easy.-

Our very first

mission took place

one Halloween night

after school.

- Legend has it that there

was a horrible old nun...

- Who all the students

were scared of.

She only liked when

the students were gone

and the school

was empty and silent.

One cold winter morning,

the students decided to

teach the old nun a lesson,

so they poured water

[sound of water pouring] on the

steps outside the classroom

and waited for it to freeze.

When the nun approached

the classroom,

the students were outside

playing and laughing,

something the nun hated.

She let roar...

- Be quiet!

- and ran down the steps

toward them.

But she slipped on the icy steps

and flew five,

ten feet into the air.

She came crashing down

and broke her neck.

And now, the ghost

of the dead nun

roams these halls

looking for revenge on any

students who misbehave.

- Is that real?

- Noah, that's the stupidest

thing I've ever heard.

Hey, Emma!

It's just something that

sixth years tell first years

to scare them.

- Great.

- Who invited Brian?

- Cian did.

[all together]

- Cian!

- Seriously.

- What?

- No, I didn't.

I might have mentioned

we were going ghost-hunting

but I didn't invite him.

- Ghost-hunting?

There's no such thing as ghosts.

Sarah? Emma?

Do you really believe all this?

- Forget him.

We'll show him when we get

proof the school is haunted

and find the ghost.

Alright, let's just focus.

Itinerary check.

Camera?

What are you wearing?

- It's a utility belt.

[camera shutter clicks]

Sorry.

- Uh, check.

Voice recorder?

- It's my dad's.

He doesn't know I took it.

- Check.

- Uh, torches?

- Torches are stupid anyway.

- I guess you have something

in common with them so...

- Uh, that just leaves the map.

- I thought you had it.

- I thought you had it.

[record scratch]

- I have it.

- Phew.

- What did you do to it?

[chimes ring] ls this glitter?

- I made it fabulous.

[all laughing]

- Here, I told my parents

I'd be home by nine

and it's already getting dark.

Can you get started?

- Alright.

Let's plan where

we're gonna go first.

So, we should start around here.

And then make

our way to here and...

- Shh!

What was that?

.(Creep)'-

Maybe it's the ghost.

- No, someone's coming.

Hide!

Ah!

I just forgot my, uh, bag

but I have it now so,

uh, I was just leaving.

- That was a close one.

- Phew.

- Good job, Noah.

- Where's Emma?

- Emma?

Where are you?

It's typical of her.

- Maybe the ghost took her?

- No. She probably

got scared and ran off.

- Seriously, where is she?

Emma?

- No, we'll find her.

- Don't worry.

Just where should we look first?

[distant door closing]

Here, follow my lead.

- This is stupid.

Guys?

Hey, wait up.

[Spooky music]

- I bet the ghost took her.

- The second rule

of ghost-hunting:

never jump to conclusions.

You can write that down

if you want.

Right, back to the story.

We continued our hunt

for Emma, and the ghost,

in every room.

- Emma?

This isn't funny.

- What if we can't find her?

- We will.

She's around here somewhere.

- Her parents are going

to freak out if we don't.

- It wasn't my idea.

Noah's the one that's

getting in trouble.

You might even get expelled.

She's not in here.

Let's go.

- Shut up.

- What?

' [gasps]

Sorry.

- Relax.

They're just sweets.

They're ping-pong balls.

[laughs]

[camera shutter clicks]

- What do you think is going on

with Noah and Sarah?

- I don't know.

[camera shutter clicks]

- Why do you keep doing that?

[camera shutter clicks]

- Photographic evidence.

- Photographic what?

- Evidence.

Some ghosts cannot

be seen by the human eye,

but can be picked up on camera.

I read it online.

- You're such a geek.

- Well, when I get

proof of a ghost

and become rich and famous,

we'll see who's laughing then.

- I can't wait.

- Oh!

Maybe this guy knows

where Emma is.

Hi, um, have you

seen our friend Emma'?

Let's see what he has to say.

Right?

Oh, okay.

That's her!

Blonde hair.

Um, yeah.

Oh, very interesting.

Right, okay,

thanks for your help.

Hasn't seen her.

- How could he?

- He only has one eye.

[laughs]

- Ugh...

[camera shutter clicks]

- What?

- Oh my God!

- What's that?

- What? Where?

[laughing]

You're too easy.

- Grow up, man.

- Gimme that.

- You're the one

who believes in ghosts.

[Spooky music]

[camera shutter clicks]

- [screams]

[laughing]

You should have seen your face!

- Very funny, Brian.

I'm so glad you decided to stay.

[distant door slams]

- Let's go!

- Come on,

we better check that out!

- Why is everyone

so serious all the time?

Although it was pretty creepy,

I still find time

to have a laugh.

- This is great.

I'm getting a sense

of who the real Brian is:

a joker,

a rebel even,

in school after hours,

all alone.

- Yeah, I am a rebel.

However, we weren't

alone that night...

Aww...

lovely.

I'm starving.

- Stop! Stop! Stop!

- What?

- They might be poisoned.

- Poisoned?

Why would anyone poison buns?

- Uh...

revenge?

- You're paranoid, Cian.

- Look, I'll take the first one.

Mmm...
