The Possession of Michael King Page #3

It's gonna take some time.

We need to wait until

it's dark anyhow.

This Novocain is wearing

off on my stomach,

so this is starting to

hurt like a b*tch, man.

Oh, there he is.

Hey, sorry we're late. I got

all turned around in here.

Jesus Christ. Did you kill these...

did you kill these things?

The toads, their pain,

agony, it creates

this sort of energy

that draws in the spirits.

Assume the position.

On your back.

Right.

The smell of burning DM can be intensely nauseating.

Like burning plastic.

Now, as it takes effect,

the world will shatter

and your body will quickly follow.

You may feel like

you're starting to die,

like you don't know how

to breathe at all.

But it's okay.

You just need to let go

and go with it.

To Almighty God

we commend our brother Michael...

and commit his body to the ground.

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust.

Roland Sykes.

Roland Sykes,

reclaim your physical body.

Take this body. Sh*t!

- You, hey!

- Get the f*** out of here.

- Get on your knees!

- Michael.

- Where are you?

- They're running.

Oh, f*** me.

He's making a break for it. Hey!

- There he goes!

- Michael.

Hey, you in here?

Michael, you in here?

Michael.

Crawl.

Crawl!

F***!

- Crawl.

- What is that?

What the f*** is going on here?

Crawl.

Sh*t. Michael.

Michael.

Come on, get down, man.

Get down from there.

Let's get out of here.

Come on. Are you okay?

I don't want to be dead.

Get off, Mike!

Oh, Jesus.

Jordan? Jordan?

You're tripping out, man.

It's just the drugs.

Dude, just chill.

Oh, no. No, no.

F***. She's gone.

Who's gone?

Sam.

I was with her, man.

I was with Sam.

But she's f***ing gone.

Come on, let's just get

the f*** out of here.

- Steal it!

- How did we get so lucky?

- Come on!

- I know, she's amazing.

Fishbone, eh.

He doesn't come when

he's called so much.

- Yeah.

- Ew, this is gross now, too.

- Here you go.

- No, no, don't give it to me.

My wife Samantha was...

I mean, I f***ing touched her.

You know, and I felt her with...

And she was trying to

tell me something.

It was...

there was all this interference.

It was like static.

And I couldn't make out

what she was saying.

But she was...

Took a shower. Got rid

of these f***ing teeth.

Look at this.

I feel like I'm still coming down

from the drugs or something.

And that static sound,

it's, like, still there.

I've got to get some sleep.

I can't sleep.

Man, it's like 4:30, 5:00.

Something like that.

Sun's gonna be coming up soon.

I'm just past the point.

And that noise, it's, like,

now that I've noticed it, I'm...

I'm fixated on it.

Hey there.

We're at this reading

by Erica Bell.

She's a relatively

well-known medium.

And then afterwards we

get to interview her.

So come on, let's check it out.

Okay, was there something

with her throat?

Her breathing?

She had esophageal cancer.

She wants you to know she's okay.

She's watching over you.

And you're... no, hang on.

No, wait a minute. Someone

else is butting in here.

Lots of spirits want to talk today.

This is good. Okay.

All right, somewhere over here.

Yes. Yes, this is a

very strong signal.

Female, I think.

She really, really wants to talk.

Right, she passed recently.

Happened kind of quickly,

an accident maybe.

Okay, she has a message.

No, that can't be right.

She wants to...

Michael, listen to me.

You need to...

Whoa, whoa.

Easy, easy, easy. Jesus Christ.

What happened?

We're not really sure.

Erica was about to

tell us something

and then she went

into that seizure.

I mean, was she actually

channeling Sam?

Or was that just all

part of her show?

And then the seizure

was just like a strange

coincidence or something.

I don't know.

Dad, Fishy peed on the floor again.

Huh? Okay, baby.

Daddy will take care of

it after dinner, all right?

- Thanks. Oh, f***!

- Jeez.

Why the f*** would you hand

me something like that?

It's scalding hot.

God damn it.

Michael, that's a salad.

Um, I'm sorry. I'm just...

Daddy's a little tense.

I'm sorry about that.

You okay? I scared you.

You okay?

Yeah.

Have some salad, Ellie.

I thought if I went out today

that I could shake

this noise in my head,

that it would just go away.

But now that I'm home

and it's quiet, it's like...

I wish I could describe for you

what this is.

It's this constant barrage,

this cacophony of sound.

It's like...

it's like...

Oh, f***.

Okay, so what's the deal again?

Like I said, it came

out of my mouth.

Uh-huh. Yeah, no.

Why not?

There's multiple layers

of overtone singing.

Overtone? What does that mean?

It's when a singer

manipulates their voice

to have multiple pitches

at the same time.

Okay, good. So then maybe

I did it accidentally.

Well, even if I bought that,

which I don't, there's more.

Here. Let's see.

This is a B2.

- Okay.

- And this is a C# 7.

That's a Guinness Book

vocal range right there.

The tape you gave me...

we're talking F #

all the way...

E25.

Some of it's not even audible.

Just barely registering

on my stuff.

Let me ask you this. Is it possible

that my vocal cords

could have made this?

Not a chance.

If you're not f***ing with me,

then there's something wrong

with the audio in your camera.

A defect or something.

It's not the camera.

Thanks.

Michael.

So fricking loud.

Michael?

Hello?

What are you doing? Hey. Michael.

Oh, my God. You scared me.

Let's go. I've been calling you.

Dinner's ready.

Chronic ringing of the ears.

It's a very common condition.

It's called tinnitus.

- You should see an internist.

- I did. I did.

He gave me a clean bill of health.

Said that it must be psychosomatic,

that I should see a psychiatrist,

which is why I'm here.

I understand, Michael,

that your wife died recently.

Six months ago, yeah.

Left you alone with a little girl.

Ellie, uh-huh.

You might be going through

some extreme stress

trying to deal with thoughts,

feelings, emotions,

things that consciously you

might not think you can handle.

And so then they

become side effects.

All right, so you think

you can, I don't know,

help me come to grips with

this if that's what it is?

Breathe.

Good.

Let your thoughts, your conscious,

drift away.

Nice and easy.

We're traveling deep into

your subconscious, Michael.

Deep down inside.

Michael?

Are you there? Are you with me?

Yes.

How are you feeling?

- Fine.

- Good.

That sound in your

head, is it still there?

Yes.

- Okay.

- But there's something else.

What?

I know what the sound is.

What is it, Michael?

Voices.

- Voices?

- Yes.

What are they saying?

So many things.

Anything in particular?

- Yes.

- What?

They're saying you will...

What? You will what, Michael?

You will...

Michael?

Crawl.

Michael, are you okay?

Michael.

Hey! What the f***?

What the f*** is going on?

The camera jumped out of my hands.

You made some weird voice.

Bullshit.

It's all on the camera.

And then you were talking about

all the sounds in your head,
