Yeah I met one of my neighbours actually..Emma

She seems very nice...

[Phone conversation cont] she works in the same

say building as me actually...

Small world isn't it?

What's this?

That's the cottage...

That's me!

Who's filming that?

That's weird...

So bizarre...

That's definitely me...

Who's filming it?

That was earlier on when I was outside

no I I found this file on my computer I

I clicked on it and it's got video

footage of the cottage... it's on my hard

drive

no well who put it there then? I

don't know...

No! Do you think I should call the police?

yeah yeah I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm

holding up oh I'll call you later

just... I dunno. Ok..bye

[Footsteps upstairs]

okay I'm not imagining this definitely

sounded like somebody was walking around upstairs...

let's have a look...

It sounded like someone was walking across this floor...

Well...

I started this documentary project as a bit of fun

just a way to keep my skills from going

rusty until I start work but something's

definitely going on I heard footsteps

again upstairs but there was nothing

there I don't know....

[Noise next door]

It feels strange like there's somebody there

watching me I'm not sure and this video

file sent to my computer I have no idea

what's going on there it's like somebody

sent it to me and hid it. It's odd...

it's mysterious what I'm gonna do is

edit that footage into this documentary

see if we can get to the bottom of it

see what's going on

It's about 3 a.m. and I can hear... I can

hear something

tapping um I think it's coming from

outside

[Faint tapping]

I think it's coming from the window...

[Louder tapping]

[Tapping]

[Opens curtains]

I'm just checking outside

[Window opens sound of heavy rain]

It's not outside..

it's not coming from out there

it's definitely sleeting now...

[Tapping]

I think...

maybe it's...maybe it's coming from

the front of the house...

Okay...

Okay everything's fine....

I'm at the front house now...there is nothing there...

Okay I'm going to go...

I think I'm just going to go back to bed...

I've had a terrible night's sleep I just

want to just hope that I'm just

imagining all of this ...

[Knocking at front door]

Okay

[Knocking]

hang on I'm coming...

Okay I'm coming hold on a sec...

[Knocking]

There's someone at the door I think

The knocking seemed to have stopped

footprints

what? Someone was walking in their bare feet...

What's going on?

Somebody playing a joke on me...

Ah there we go

Thermostat...

[Heating comes on]

Excellent...

It has started snowing...there's some

footprints in the snow I don't know I

know somebody's playing a joke on me somebody's taking the piss...

I had this really vivid dream last night

when I did get to sleep...

I felt like there was somebody in my room with me...watching me...

I could see this white face...floating

[Nick] So this is my local park, lots of people

out today gosh it's freezing

[Wind rises]

Yeah...still snowing I've been out to get

stocked up on food and drink but...

isn't really much point in going out. All the

roads blocked there's no buses or trams

running so I'm pretty much just stuck

here for now

[Wind and leaves rustle]

[Wind whistles]

[Wind]

[Dark rising drone]

It's about 3AM

I've just been woken up by a noise...

coming from...I dunno...the stairs or directly outside the

bedroom door, I'm not quite sure it's it

could be the snow is still snowing quite

heavily I'm gonna go check ...come with me

Okay...

Okay there we go

Okay that's fine that's just the that's

just the nightlight, motion-sensitive

it's okay

okay it's just...come on get a grip

I think it's just my imagination...

Yeah...

Okay...

Okay

[Low drone]

Well it has stopped snowing now but it's still

about minus five outside so looks like

I'm stuck in here...

Not that I'm complaining

yeah the snow is great but gives me an

opportunity to catch up with my editing

so that's what I'm gonna do now so I'll

check in with you later on

[Wind]

It's 3AM again and I've just

I've just had the same dream...

the house is sinking again, strange

whistling noise exactly the same...

I don't really know what to make of it...

[Door creaks]

[Digital glitch]

[Dark drone]

It's definitely something there

Yeah...

it's definitely something in the digital

glitch...

Looks like a figure

White...white face or something...

This cameras too good.

What's going on?

This is very strange...this is very strange now

What's going on?

[Dark drone]

[Drone]

[Cooking]

[Tapping on window]

[Louder tapping]

[Tapping gets louder]

[Tapping]

[Loud bang]

I don't know what's happening...

I dunno, I dunno I dunno....

The chair was upright...

The lamp was upright, I came back they were

on the floor

something had knocked them over I've

filmed it I am not imagining this

Okay...

Okay...

[Dark Drone]

Okay so I've just set up my

night-vision camera in the corner of my

room here we go, yeah and I'll keep that

on low resolution all night so hopefully

it can I can record anything anything

that might happen in my room any

disturbances...

Right...

I'm off to bed

[Footsteps in the house]

[Footsteps in room]

[Rasping breath]

[Thud]

I was just having the dream again the

same dream um sinking

[Low drone]

Very strange...very strange dream. My heads all over the place very foggy...

I'm just going to go out I think...

Get some fresh air...

Clear my head

See what...

I don't know what to make of this...

Okay...

This is the...nightlight

Must have fallen down the stairs I dunno...

I don't know what to think I'm just

just gonna go, I'm just gonna go I think...

[Tapping at window]

Ah feels good!

Breath of fresh air...

Outside of the house today...
