The Ballerina Page #4

---

Glen, these pictures are

like 60 or 70 years old.

I know, I'm wracking

my brain trying

to figure out where

I know this kid from.

I'm going crazy.

Okay you're gonna

think I'm crazy.

What?

A few years ago there was

this kid in the hospital.

He was so frightened Glen.

He said he was seeing ghosts.

Of course we were

all convinced that it

was psychosomatic.

But we tried every

possible treatment

and nothing, absolutely

nothing worked.

Finally,

his parents took him home,

they brought in this woman.

And she like talked to them.

Talked to who?

The ghosts or the spirits

or whatever they are.

But that's what worked.

I don't believe that this

is psychosomatic anymore.

I mean there's something

real going on here.

[loud thunder]

[Narrator] Where's the child?

[Glen] She's in the tent asleep.

[lady speaking foreign language]

She feels great love

and great fear here.

[lady speaking foreign language]

But love is always

stronger than fear.

[lady speaking foreign language]

There are spirits here.

[lady speaking foreign language]

Good spirits and evil spirits.

[lady speaking foreign language]

Sometimes it's hard

to tell them apart.

[lady speaking foreign language]

Some spirits are angry and evil

and they want to

harm and destroy.

Other spirits are sad.

They're lost.

They don't even know

that they are dead.

[lady speaking foreign language]

You need to know

that the spirits

that are haunting your daughter

are good or evil.

[faint whispers]

[lady speaking foreign language]

You hear?

[lady speaking foreign language]

[faint whispers]

[laughter]

[lady speaking foreign language]

They're children.

It's cold.

They're getting close.

They're closer.

[lady speaking foreign language]

[ominous music]

[lady speaking foreign language]

There are six little girls here.

They're girl scouts.

[Glen] Where are they?

[Interpreter] They're

all around you.

Do you feel that?

Yes, I feel something.

[lady speaking foreign language]

They are such pretty girls.

Why are you so sad?

[lady speaking foreign language]

What happened to you?

[lady speaking foreign language]

Why won't you tell me?

Don't be afraid you can tell me.

You can tell me.

You can tell me.

You can tell me.

Ms. Suzie had a steamboat

The steamboat had a bell

Ms. Suzie went to heaven

But the steamboat went to

Hello operator

Please give me number nine

And if we get disconnected

I'll hit you with a

[fast paced music]

Miss Belmont are you okay?

Miss Belmont, Miss Belmont!

Belmont!

[loud screaming]

[loud shattering]

[lady speaking foreign language]

Oh my poor babies.

Wait!

Don't go!

[lady speaking foreign language]

Tell me why you're here!

[lady speaking foreign language]

What do you want with

this little girl!

Wait, don't go!

[lady speaking foreign language]

[lady speaking foreign language]

What a tragedy.

What happened to them?

[lady speaking foreign language]

A terrible car accident

a long time ago.

[lady speaking foreign language]

A car made of wood.

[lady speaking foreign language]

The spirits are sad, lost.

But you cannot trust them.

[lady speaking foreign language]

Maybe if you had your

daughter talk to them,

it could help them understand

that they are dead.

[lady speaking foreign language]

Be careful.

Don't leave her alone with them.

[lady speaking foreign language]

They can lead her into danger.

Make her fall off a cliff

or drown in a river.

[ominous music]

Be careful.

Don't leave her alone.

[lady speaking foreign language]

[Interpretor] And remember

what I told you about love.

Stronger than fear.

What is it?

A car made of wood.

[slow paced music]

Annie Sorenson.

You've gotta be kidding me.

Sh*t.

Sh*t.

Marjorie.

Can you print one thing for me.

Just one, just one.

Annie Sorenson?

Geez Glen is she like related?

She's my aunt.

That other picture

in the locket?

That was my father.

Your father?

And you didn't recognize him?

I barely even remember seeing

a picture of my dad when

he was a little boy.

That's why I didn't

recognize him right off.

This is so weird.

You're telling me.

My aunt who was

killed 66 years ago,

before I was even

born is appearing

to my daughter and

giving her lockets.

I didn't even know

I had an aunt.

My father never

told me about this.

How could Sophia have

possibly known about her?

She couldn't of.

I don't understand.

This other picture

in your locket,

that's grandpa when

he was a little boy.

You never met him.

Well, that's him.

Baby I don't know how

to tell you this but,

Annie, she died a long time ago.

The thing is,

I don't think she realizes it.

Sometimes when people die,

they don't know

that they've died.

How is that possible?

I don't know sweetheart.

I've never died before.

But I was thinking that

maybe the next time

that you see Annie, maybe

you could try to talk to her.

Maybe you could, you know,

try to help her to realize

that she's not alive anymore.

Do you think you could do that?

But daddy I'm scared.

I know, I know baby.

But you gotta be brave.

You gotta be brave.

I think this might

be the only way

to make those shadow

people go away.

You think you could do it?

Okay.

- [ominous music]

- [faint crunching]

You really got a

thing for scaring

the sh*t out of me don't ya?

Sorry.

I was worried, how is she?

That thing you said

the other day about

how we've become our parents.

I've been thinking about that.

Seeing that picture of my old

man when he was a little boy,

can't get it out of my head.

Makes me worry about

what Sophia thinks of me.

She adores you.

She does.

Sophia's gonna be okay.

So are you.

[ominous music]

Sophia.

Come on, there's something

I wanna show you.

Wait, first I'm supposed

to tell you something.

We gotta hurry.

You can tell me on the way.

Come on.

What about my dad?

Don't be scared.

Come on, you're gonna love this.

[Sophia] Wait,

what about my dad?

We'll be back before

he knows you're gone.

Bring your lantern, let's go.

Don't be afraid, you'll be fine.

I promise.

Wait.

Did you hear that?

Hold on a second.

Sophia.

No, no, no, no, no!

Sophia, Sophia!

Sophia!

Sophia!

Sophia!

Answer me baby!

Sh*t!

She's gone, she's gone!

Go wake everybody up.

Tell them to come help me

look for her please hurry!

Sophia, answer me

baby, where are you?!

Where are you?!

Sophia!

Sophia!

Sophia!

[Sophia] Where are we going?

You'll see.

[low rumbling]

Don't worry about them,

it's okay, I've got you.

Sophia!

Sophia!

Sophia!

Sophia!

[Sophia] Annie.

[Annie] It's okay, come on.

[Sophia] I'm supposed

to talk to you.

[Annie] We're almost there.

I'm scared.

Don't be scared, come on.

Sophia!

There's my dad.

We gotta go back.

Sophia, your dad is fast

asleep back at the tent.

We'll be right back.

Come on, let's go.

No wait.

Daddy!

Sophia!

We gotta go, this way.

Come on.

Sophia baby, Sophia

where are you?!

Where are you sweetheart!?
