The Sound

---

Are you Kelly?

Yes.

Come in.

Thanks for coming.

That's my ah, my grandson, Evan.

Well, the sightings have been

happening in his bedroom.

Okay.

Here, let me get you some light.

There you go.

Evan, do you always

see the ghosts at night?

Evan, Evan!

Evan, come on back, come on.

Come on.

You know, he hasn't been the

same since his mother died.

He, ah started having

these sightings.

Our family has lived

in this house for,

oh, 150 years or more.

My great great

grandparents built it.

I never heard any talk

about any ghosts or nothing.

Do you mind?

No, no, go ahead.

Bingo.

Is there an airport near here?

Ah, no, not nearby, no,

couple of hundred miles,

where you came in.

Anything smaller, like

a helicopter landing pad?

Ah, no, not that I know of.

And this is mostly

farmland, right?

Yeah.

What do your neighbors farm?

Wheat, few other

grains, mostly wheat.

Have your neighbors

recently started dusting

their crops at night

instead of during the day?

Yes, they have but

what's that got to do with?

There is no such

thing as ghosts.

Breakfast?

Oh hey.

I'll eat in a little bit.

Babe.

I have to go.

It's a lead on a story.

What?

Where?

Toronto, i

have to go to Toronto.

Well when will you be home?

I'll be back in time

for the party tonight,

I promise.

Jesus, kel, take

a day off already.

Soon, I'll do that soon.

Lower bay station, please.

Don't you mean upper bay?

There's no lower bay

anymore, you know?

I know, I just need you to

get me to the station entrance,

that's the closest.

Okay.

Hi mom.

So, how are

you doing today, honey?

I'm fine.

Are you sure?

No, I've been fine

on this day every year

for the past 30 years, really.

I'm okay.

Okay.

Is that it, 'cause I really,

I need to go.

Sure. Um,

if you need me.

Yeah, I know.

Bye.

So what

brings you to Canada?

I'm doing a story on the

abandoned subway station.

Really?

What about it?

Well, the fact that

people say it's haunted.

Yeah, that's why

they call it the ghost station.

Have you been down there?

Actually yeah,

but it was a long time ago.

Just a few years after that

lady was killed down there

on the tracks, right.

It was like 1969.

Do you know anything

about that woman?

The one who died.

You know, some people said

she was at lakeshore asylum,

which connects two

of the stations

through these

underground tunnels.

But I don't know any of

the facts, like I say,

I just know what I heard.

Anything else?

Some say

she was pregnant.

She had twins, one was

stillborn and the father,

he never came to visit.

I think one day

she just snapped.

Something happen when

you went down there?

My friends

and I snuck in and.

And?

What are

you doing down here?

I could ask

you the same thing.

Do you ever feel

anything down here?

Like what?

Like a vibration or

a pain in your ears?

Do you ever see anything?

Like a ghost?

Like the lady in red?

Who?

That's what they call her,

the lady that jumped.

She was covered in blood

when they found her.

Oh.

But we never go that far

down to, where she died.

Where is it?

We have to go that way.

But it's pretty far.

Are you going?

Yeah, I'll see you later.

Not if she

sees you first.

Didn't your parents tell you?

There's no such

things as ghosts.

Hello?

Is someone here?

Come on.

Come on.

Uh, hello?

You the lady that

reported the dead body?

Yes.

What's

your name, miss?

Kelly Johansen.

Address?

Traveling.

Okay, why don't you

just lead the way?

Got a call about a body?

I was just about

to check it out.

Yeah.

Detective Richards.

This who called it in?

Yeah.

Well I'll

take it from here.

You can go.

All yours.

Let's go.

After you.

So what exactly has you

hanging around down here?

Didn't you see the signs?

Yeah, I saw the signs.

You're just not

big on following the rules.

Look, I'm just

down here backpacking.

This is it.

He was here.

Are you sure you

got the right place?

I'm sure I know

what I saw.

Well we're seeing otherwise.

Why don't you tell me again

why you're really down here?

Okay fine, you're not

buying the backpacking thing.

For one thing you

don't have a backpack,

you have a duffle.

Which looks pretty big and bulky

with a creepy doll inside.

Wanna tell me what else

you got inside there?

Does it matter?

There was a dead body

there now there's not.

Fine, I study sound waves.

Paranormal activity,

that's what I do.

I write books, I blog.

Alright, now we're

getting somewhere.

Well, if you're the expert,

how do you think the

body disappeared?

All right, you buy

yourself one night down here

to prove or disprove

whatever you like.

Or what, you're gonna

throw the book at me?

Yeah, something like that.

Be careful down here.

Those danger signs are

up there for a reason.

Oh!

Well, I didn't

mean to scare you.

It's okay.

I didn't know anyone

was down here.

Oh, I just set down

here every once in a while

to change bulbs.

They all usually burn

out at the same time.

Seems like a waste,

since nobody's supposed

to be down here.

But I just do as I'm told.

I'm Clinton Jones.

Kelly Johansen.

I better get on

to the next one.

Have you ever seen

anything down here?

What kind of anything?

What are you doing down here?

Trying to catch

yourself a ghost?

Something like that.

Come on.

Let me show you something.

This is where the cemetery ends.

This is a graveyard?

Oh.

I thought you knew.

Lots of people

come down here now.

Looking for ghosts.

Since news came out

that the station

was built on Potter's field.

Potter's field

was a graveyard?

No, it was a cemetery

for the faithless.

The poor.

And friendless.

So they just

built right over it?

Something like that.

Some people call it the

stranger's graveyard.

Cemetery officially

closed in 1855.

The next of kin was

given the option

of either claiming the

body or having it moved.

So the bodies were moved?

Those that were

claimed were moved.

And the strangers

were left behind?

That's the rumor.

About 5,000 or so unclaimed.

What exactly brought

you down here?

Honestly?

I thought I knew, but

now I'm not so sure.

I'm sure you'll figure it out.

I better get on.

Maybe I'll see you again.

Okay.

Kel?

Kelly?

Help me.

Will you help me?

Help me.

If

you know who this is,

then you know what to do.

Damnit, kell, come on.

You're not real.

Help me.

-Help me.

- Emily?

Help me.

Help me.

No.

What?

How can I help you?

Yes, I'd like a flight

from Detroit to Toronto.

Miss Johansen?

Miss Johansen?

Are you still down here?

Miss Johansen?

It's me.

Detective Richards.

We met earlier.

So what happened?

I don't know.

I saw a woman.

What'd she look like?

Just an image, like

smoke with no eyes.

Did you see anything else?

No, nothing else.

What about your research?

What'd you find?

Something I've

never seen before.

It's below any infrasonic

sound I've ever recorded.

What does that mean?

It's a type of sound,
