Yes.

What a failbug.

Epic.

Do you ever think about when

you dropped out of the college

and wonder if you made

the right choice?

Every day.

Why do people have

such high expectations?

Everything happens

for a reason, Claire.

Nobody just ends up

at the Yankee Pedlar.

I guess.

- You know what really gets me though?

- Hold that on.

My eyes feel like they've been

doused with xxxxxxxx

I need to go upstairs.

What?

I'm sorry. I'm dead. We can talk about your

upcoming quarter life crisis tomorrow.

- I just need to tap out right now.

- Fine.

Leave your computer, though.

What? I'm not gonna hack the system.

I just want look for a pair of high tops.

And it gets really boring when

there's nobody else in the hotel.

And my book sucks.

Okay, just be careful with it.

Dah.

Oh, and if you get the itch

to do any recording,

the recorder is charging

in the back office.

Remember how to use it,

you just point the microphone in the...

I know how to do it.

I get it.

Jesus, I would hate to be

a ghost in this hotel.

- Goodnight, Claire.

- Goodnight, Luke.

Where is your website?

Well done. I might forget

to remind him about this.

Tragedy.

Creepy.

Sh*t.

I can't work this thing.

I don't wanna scare you,

but I stand right behind you. Sorry.

F***! What the f***?!

Oh my God!

Jesus Christ, you scared

the sh*t out of me!

What are you doing over here, anyway?

- I thought I heard a noise, Luke.

- Like what?

Banging, like a banging, man!

- Okay, well...

- God!

I woke up and I couldn't get back to sleep.

So we can switch now, if you want.

F***. Okay. Dah! Dah!

Sorry.

F*** you.

Do you know the story

of Madeline O'Malley?

She was the one that

died here in the hotel.

She hung herself after her fiance

stood her up on her wedding day.

The original owners of the hotel, thought

it would be bad press and hurt the business.

So, they hid her dead body in

the wood cellar for three days.

Before they could smuggle

her out of the loading bay.

When the people of the town finally

figured out what had happened here...

they were outraged. So, the owners had to

close the hotel down and were forced to sell it.

Nobody came through here

again until the '60s.

And ever since then, people have reported

seeing the ghost of Madeline O'Malley

roaming the hallways

waiting for her lover.

Some say, she's even looking

to take up a new one.

Excuse me?

What are you doing?

Mommy.

What's going on?

She said there's a ghost in that hotel.

She said it's coming to get me.

- I never said that.

- What's the matter with you?

He's just a child.

Sweetie? Sweetie.

It's okay.

It's not real.

It's just a story. Okay?

Right? Come here.

I don't need this.

I've enough going on in my life.

Yes, ma'am.

Are you okay?

And you.

We still need towels.

I'm tired of asking.

Don't make me the bad guy in this.

Alright.

- We're in the 225.

- Yeah, I know which room you're in.

I work in the hotel.

Come on, sweetie.

It's just a silly story, alright?

Okay?

I've bought the cheap bread.

I can taste it.

Never skimp on bread.

You'll always regret it.

So, why do you think she

sticks around here?

Beats me.

The rates aren't that cheap here.

"Courtyard by Marriott" on

the route 13 is much better.

No, not her. I mean Madeline.

- What do you think she wants?

- I don't know.

I don't spend my time trying to figure out

what women want. Specially dead ones.

Please.

Well, when you saw her,

what did she look like?

Like she was all dead looking?

The thing about physical encounters is that

you don't really remember the details.

It's weird, cause you think

you would, but, it's like...

she was there one minute,

then gone the next.

Almost like she was

never in there at all.

I know, it's kind of hard to explain,

you just have to be there.

I'm so jealous.

But if I saw her,

probably I'd freak out.

I can't believe that you

never had your camera with you.

I know. It kills me.

Looking down for some recording tonight?

Definitely.

We gotta find some proof that

Madeline O'Malley really exists

before this place closes down, we have to.

I mean, imagine how she feels,

being stuck here forever.

We gotta get something on tape.

It's like a moral imperative.

Oh my God.

Sh*t.

How did you get in there, bird?

Luke.

Luke, you are not going to believe

what just happened to me.

Luke?

What?

Never mind.

I'm a pumpkin.

I'm gonna kill this snake.

Don't forget to record.

I left a list for you on my desk.

Okay.

Enjoy your internet porn.

This is EVP recording

of the laundry room.

Luke, I'm skipping this one.

There's nothing in here.

This is the EVP recording

of the banquet room.

I'm trying to contact the

spirit of Madeline O'Malley.

Madeline, if you can hear me,

please give us a sign.

Damn it, Luke, you said that

this thing would have been set up.

Luke!

Luke, come here, wake up!

- Come on, wake up, wake up, wake up.

- Hold on, hold on.

Luke!

What the... f?

Claire, I still have

like two hours left, man.

Dude, you have to listen to this.

The piano is playing by itself.

I think it was her.

Come on, I'll be down at 7:00.

I'll listen to it then.

No, no, I'm scared.

Okay, come in.

Sh*t.

Actually... I'm...

...okay.

Are you sure?

Yeah, I think I just freaked out

for a minute but I'll...

I'll be fine.

Okay.

Well, I'll be down in

a few hours, alright?

Okay.

Do you mind keep it down?

Do I have to ask you again?

You know what?

Just back off!

Okay?

You're asking me "what I do"

the other day?

Well, I just recorded an...

unexplainable phenomenon!

There's a ghost in this hotel and I got it on tape

and it's a big deal! So just... leave me alone!

Come with me for a moment.

Here, sit.

You need a drink.

Cheers.

Are you alright?

Tell me about what you saw.

- I...

- Look...

I'm sorry about yesterday. I have a tendency

not to be a nice person, I know that.

Please don't take it personally.

I don't apologize more than once.

Look, I can help you with

what you're looking for,

I just need to know what it is

that you are looking for.

I'm sorry, help me with what?

Do you know what this is?

It's a pendulum.

It's used to answer life's more...

difficult questions.

Do you know why I'm here?

You're speaking at an acting

convention in Pots Town?

No, I'm not here for acting.

I am here as a guest

at the Healers Gathering.

That's what I do now.

It's my true calling.

Claire, everything in this

world is connected.

Whether we understand that or not

depends on our sense of perception.

Our willingness to communicate. Now, you wanna

communicate with the spirits in this hotel?

I can help you do that.

I just need to know what it is

that you want from them.

I don't know if they are real.

- The ghosts.

- Spirits.

There is no "real" in this world,

Claire, it's all a state of being.

There are no beginnings.

There are no ends.

There are no ghosts.

We're each divine beings that incorporate
