perfectly...

Mmm.

[coughing]

- Brian!

Are you alright?

Brian?

[Coughs]

- He's only messin'.

- Very funny, Brian.

- I'm not gonna fall for it.

Lads, I don't

think he's alright.

- He's only messin'.

- No, I really don't

think he's alright.

Brian! Brian!

Are you alright?

- Leave him.

- Brian!

- One... two... three...

four... five...

[Coughs]

Could do with a bit of jam.

- I tried to tell you.

- Nice to know you care.

- Whatever!

- Thanks.

Nice.

- Mmm.

[gasps]

- Brian!

- I didn't...

Someone put...

It's not my fault!

- Shh!

I hear something.

The caretaker's coming.

- Follow me.

Emma?

Are you in here?

[ghost whispers]

- Sarah...

- Shh!

- What was that?

- What?

- It sounded like...

[farts loudly]

- Oh!

- You're disgusting.

- You should really

change your diet.

That's just not normal.

- Wait...

did anyone try Emma's phone?

- Oh!

[phone ringing]

It's ringing.

- Put it on speaker.

[phone beeps]

[phone answers]

- Emma?

Where are you?

- [heavy breathing on phone]

- Emma?

- Are you there?

- Say something.

- [heavy breathing on phone]

- Has Emma got asthma?

[phone goes dead]

- Try it again.

- I am.

- It's not working.

[loud series of thuds]

- Should we open it?

- It's probably just...

- just the wind.

- Yeah, just the wind.

Go on then.

- [gasps]

- My heart!

- Who's he?

-[mumbles]

[groans with relief]

Thank you, thank you.

- What happened to you?

- The sixth years tied me up

and locked me in here.

- Why?

- Because I am a prefect

and they were mitching class.

Wait, what are you

still doing here?

[cracks neck]

- We're looking for our friend.

- And the school ghost.

- How do you know

about the school ghost?

- What do you know

about the school ghost?

[creepy whispering noise]

- What?

No.

I don't want to.

Listen, if you let me go,

I'll help you find...

[cracks neck] Emma.

- How did you know her name?

[creepy whispering noise]

- Shh! Be quiet!

". OK?!"

Okay, group meeting.

So, what are we gonna do?

- He's gone crazy.

Look at him.

[cracks neck]

We should leave him here.

- We can't do that.

- He's really freaking me out.

- I say we leave him.

- Yeah.

- No.

- No, Sarah's right.

We can't just leave him.

So, you promise you'll behave?

Alright.

-[sinister laughing]

We're free!

We're free!

[laughing]

- I thought you were

gonna help us find Emma!

- That might have

been a mistake.

- Nice one.

- Let's keep looking.

- Alright?

- [laughing maniacally]

We're free!

- When you're ghost-hunting,

you never know who

you're going to bump into.

You have to expect

the unexpected.

- Any idea of who that guy was?

- Just some weirdo.

I heard he was locked up

and doctors experimented

on his brain.

- They lobotomized him?

- I've no idea what that is.

All I know is they cut

part of his brain out

and put it in ajar somewhere.

[ghostwhispering]

- Listen to that.

What was that?

- The Idiots Guide to Ghostly

Possessions and Spells.

- Either the ghost

is saying we're idiots

or we might just have

a possession on our hands.

- Do you ever get scared?

'[gulps]

I don't have time to get scared.

I'm just worried

about the others.

[photocopier whirring]

- Hey, lads.

Get this.

- Freaky.

- Do you think it could be Emma?

- Or the ghost.

- The ghost knows

how to work a printer?

It's obviously Emma.

- But maybe the ghost has her

and is trying to

send us a message.

- I don't know about that, Cian.

- I've got an idea.

Give us a leg-up.

- What are you doing?

- What's it look like I'm doing?

I'm going to photocopy my bum

and stick the pictures

all over school.

- How's that gonna help?

- Help what?

- I'll be outside doing

some real investigatin'...

when you're finished

foolin' around.

Excuse me.

- Wait, stop!

- You're gonna

get us in trouble.

- What?

No one will find out.

Please.

- He's got a point.

". OK?!"

Just be quick, alright?

[distant laughter]

[camera shutter clicks]

[flash light clicks]

- Okay.

- It's okay, Cian.

It's okay.

Nothing to be afraid of.

It's just the dark.

Just the dark.

[gasps]

Don't do that!

- Sorry.

Here, come on, Cian.

We're leaving.

- Photocopier didn't work.

[Spooky music]

- Whoa!

Look at all the stuff in here.

- Hey.

- Check this out.

- Spider-baby.

Cool.

[camera shutter clicks]

[creaking noise]

- Whoa!

[laughs]

- Sorry.

[Spooky music]

[distant screaming]

- Emma!

'Yes!

Hate You!

- Ah, I get n.

There's something going

on with Noah and Sarah.

- You got that?

You're good.

But between us...

And this stays off the record...

It could have been me

and Sarah, though.

But I turned her down.

Thanks, but no thanks.

I just didn't want to be

tied down, you know?

The old ball and chain.

Heartbroken, she was.

- Heartbroken?

- Sarah.

Where have you been hiding?

- What were you just saying?

- Nothing, nothing.

- About a different Sarah.

You don't know her.

You haven't met Alex, have you?

- I'm Alex.

You're much prettier

than I imagined.

- Alex is a reporter who

wants to do a story about us.

She's a girl.

- Thanks, Captain Obvious.

Don't believe a word he says.

-[chuckles]

She's such a joker.

- I'm sick of this place.

I knew it was

a mistake coming here.

- Oh...

- Don't mind her.

She's just moping about Noah.

He dumped her 'cause

he likes rugby now.

She's dating one of his friends.

Ice cold.

- Shut up, Brian!

You don't know

what you're talking about.

I don't want to talk about it.

[Spooky music]

Okay, guys.-

So, the castle's website said

it was built on

an old graveyard.

Every night a new

ghost roams the halls.

- FYI, I won't use what

Brian said in my story.

I'm just after what it takes

to be a real ghost hunter.

Are you thinking

of leaving the team?

- Why would anyone

want to leave?

- Maybe.

- Who knows?

What's he been saying?

- Nothing.

Just what happened on

your first spooky adventure.

- Really?

Did he tell you about

the time he got so scared

he nearly pooped his pants?

- Sarah O' Reilly.

Don't you dare.

- What happened was,

we were in the music room...

- Look, I've got a bad

feeling about this room.

I-I-I think we should skip it.

- You're such a wuss.

[piano playing]

- If you're so brave,

you go over and check.

- Okay, I will.

Watch me.

I need a torch.

Thanks.

- Be careful, Brian.

[tense music]

- Gotcha!

Phew!

There's no one here.

- Then who was playing?

- Maybe it was the ghost.

- Maybe it was Santa Claus.

I told you, there's no

such thing as ghosts.

[music box playing lullaby]

- Did you do that?

- Your turn.

[music box stops]

- It's probably

just a mouse, Cian.

" Huh?"

- I said, it was

probably just a mouse.

- What did you just say?

- A mouse.

- I hate mouses.

- I thought you weren't

scared of anything.

- Mouses aren't anything.

They're evil little creatures

that nibble at your feet

when you're asleep.

- They're called mice,

not "mouses."

- What?

- The plural for mouse is mice.
