00:07:21Hmm
00:07:30Surprisingly edible, right? Oh
00:07:34Hey, how's that are you writing that one thing? What was it? I don't know
00:07:38You know, sometimes I just hate how much I love to write like I've been trying to write this book for two years now
00:07:45but I just keep getting distracted and writing stupid things that
00:07:50Don't even matter like what I
00:07:54Don't know. I guess I'm just looking for the right inspiration
00:07:58Whatever that is
00:08:02Look all you need to know is that the transcontinental Railroad was built between
00:08:071863 and
00:08:081869 and that connected the San Francisco Bay Area. See that's the problem right there. I don't remember dates and names very well
00:08:16So, okay. Well, should we come up with a mnemonic device to help you out?
00:08:34Jesus is about breaking time
00:08:40Okay, oh hey it's Sarah
00:08:47Okay, go away we're studying. Oh, yeah
00:08:52Great okay transsexual Railroad
00:08:561869 I know that you and Josh were roommates. Oh, yeah. I try to forget about it. Oh
00:09:02How long have you known each other? Oh
00:09:05Since middle school, I think
00:09:08We kind of grew up together our parents our neighbors
00:09:12Didn't know that yeah
00:09:14How long do you live together?
00:09:17Wait a minute
00:09:20Wait, seriously, I didn't say anything. No, this would be perfect. He would totally go for your type. Forget it
00:09:28What do you mean your type? Um, you know, like cute nerdy girl likes to write wears glasses
00:09:36But honestly, though, he's a really good guy. And once you get to know him, he's pretty great
00:09:41once you get past his uh, like
00:09:43Rock-and-roll shit stick thing
00:09:47So he's single
00:09:48No, he's not. Um, he has a girlfriend, but she's a bitch. So I think that you'd be a lot better for him
00:09:54No, I'm not the kind of girl to swoop in like some vulture and snatch up boys from the girl. So
00:10:01Walter is having a little shindig over this creepy-ass old house at his uncle Bob
00:10:06The bud will be blown and the drink will be flown
00:10:09Yeah, I did thank you for that yeah, so are we gonna do this or not?
00:10:16Hell yeah, sweet. Oh, I think I'm just gonna stay in tonight. Yeah. Well, I'm gonna go and take a shower
00:10:26You're just gonna stay in it's last-minute come on Sarah
00:10:30How do you expect to be a writer if you don't have any personal experience?
00:10:33I'm serious. Like two minutes ago. You were talking about how you need some inspiration
00:10:38This could be it. You never know you might you might make some new friends
00:10:42And if you don't have any fun, I will personally escort you home
00:10:45You
00:11:09Nice of you to show up
00:11:12What did I do this time did you do do you see how your daughter talks to me?
00:11:17What do you think you're going to my room?
00:11:20We're your parents. We deserve to know where you've been
00:11:35You know, we put food on your table and a roof over your head you live here you live under our rule
00:11:42Oh
00:11:55Okay, you know what I thought that once I went to college maybe things will change around here
00:12:00And you just sit there and you let her go at me every
00:12:05goddamn day
00:12:07So you want to know something mom, I'm gonna go hang out with my fucking friends, okay something you wouldn't know anything about
00:12:38You
00:12:45Ouch
00:12:48Cut is this necessary? No, then why are we doing it because this is what girls do to get ready for parties?
00:12:56See that wasn't so bad. I am really not the type for this sort of thing
00:13:04Everybody's the type for this sort of thing
00:13:07Even guys need a little makeover every once in a while. Your skin's always so dry
00:13:14Makeover isn't makeup. It's just
00:13:16Not my thing. I think I look fine without it. No, definitely
00:13:21You're beautiful, but this is just gonna make some of your best features pop
00:13:25I
00:13:35Glad you could make it
00:13:41Sarah yeah should be interesting. Yeah. Well, at least you two look nice
00:13:47It's okay, I guess our drummer keeps flaking out on rehearsal. It's a little shaky right now, but you know how it is
00:13:55But I had to bring my acoustic so I could play some tunes sounds good
00:14:01Sarah what do you do?
00:14:04We're gonna bookstore on campus. I your job. I mean, what do you really do? Oh

00:14:29I
00:14:31Don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know
00:14:35What exactly is this place
00:14:39Sure Walter's uncle
00:14:45Make sense to me
00:14:47Wait, who's this Walter?
00:14:49He's a friend of ours. Oh, you know, I'm he's the ginger guy with the skinny little ass
00:14:54I'm not with this car
00:14:57Yeah, I'll definitely recognize it now
00:15:06Oh
00:15:10Somewhere else outside
00:15:15Yeah, it's kind of shitty I don't know
00:15:35Oh
00:15:40God I hate sitting down for long periods of time. I get motion sickness really bad
00:16:00Yeah, not too bad
00:16:05I
00:16:19Smart man, I mean, I know you're not but you look like it. Who's this? This is Sarah. She is one of Kelsey's

00:17:06Oh
00:17:17So how many people are coming tonight
00:17:20Well
00:17:22Only a couple of people actually got back to me besides you guys didn't feel like calling off since we were gonna have the house
00:17:28much longer
00:17:29So it's just us then. How is this a party Wow?
00:17:33Jody and Paul stopped by earlier drink for my beers and then went to get something and Bobby said he'd stop by later with
00:17:38his crew, but you know those guys
00:17:45Speak for yourself, man. I mean we've got the J we've got the tunes and we've got the brews. So it sounds like a party to me
00:17:57I've only actually done this once before
00:17:59Really do anything cool. Nobody feels anything their first time. It's easy. Just relax and take in the deep breath
00:18:14Yeah feeling it this time yeah, I think so
00:18:21I've always heard if you're not coughing you're not feeling it. Wow, who knew you were such a philosopher. Hey
00:18:29I
00:18:35Was that we're here
00:18:37My uncle he's cool with it
00:18:40Does your uncle drive like a beat-down truck?
00:18:43No, he drives a Mercedes like a really nice s-class with the heat seats and GPS
00:18:50Forward-looking in print as fast as hell, man
00:18:54It's like five and a half liter turbocharged v12 with a six-speed automatic
00:18:59Loaded to drive a truck
00:19:03I'm just trying to be that good nephew
00:19:08There's a lot to be said about a man with no kids and more money than he can spend before he dies
00:19:13Wow piece of shit
00:19:16No, it's not like that. He's my uncle. I love him, but I mean he's racist and he hates women
00:19:21So I mean fuck him, right?
00:19:26No, that's an idea
00:19:30Oh
00:19:34Tell me about this truck. Oh
00:19:38It's nothing I think that the weed is just getting to me feeling paranoid or something here take this
00:19:47Not really sure what I get drunk tonight who said anything about getting drunk it's one shot
00:19:51To a cheers to dope-ass house to the dope house to the dope house

00:20:20I don't know old I
00:20:22Bet you that looking at this don't work outside. It's probably like the turn of the century or something
00:20:26Sarah really we're at a party and what you can talk about is the architecture of the house
00:20:31Hey, leave her alone, man. This place is pretty legit
00:20:34We should go check it out
00:20:37As well, nobody else is here. Hey guys, really?
00:20:42Hey, we might find like a big bag of money or something
00:20:45Our back full of pot, let's do it. Let's do it
00:21:15I
00:21:45Think I don't know if we should open it. Yeah, no, no, no, no, no

00:21:56About to do with pissed off of them. I'm just saying
00:22:00Anybody have a pocket knife? Oh

00:31:33I
00:32:03I
00:32:33I
00:33:03I
00:33:20Don't see why we couldn't just stay here at a party
00:33:24Why didn't we go to your house? Your place is fucking huge. I
00:33:27Just thought it would be exciting. You can't say it wasn't interesting
00:33:31Interesting is an understatement my friend wonder what was in that basement
00:33:41Sorry
00:33:49Hang on next time
00:34:01Talk about something
00:34:05Like what I don't know I keep on trying to convince myself that it was Walter's shadow, but I'm not so sure
00:34:14Forget it Sarah just tell me I
00:34:19Thought that I saw a little girl
00:34:22Standing behind Walter, but then when he went to flash his light on her she was gone
00:34:27And I know what it sounds like but a little girl in the basement of a house that's been locked from the outside
00:34:35She okay. Yeah, she's got a little spooked as all where are you going?
00:34:47Hey, hey
00:34:49Yeah, I'm not still sort of young and
00:34:55I don't know. I just I know this really cool place. It's just a few blocks away
00:35:06Okay, yeah, I'll drive
00:35:20I
00:35:24Think it's probably time
00:35:28No, I've been worse
00:35:49I
00:36:19I
00:36:49I
00:37:20I'm sorry. It's
00:37:24Feels good, though. It makes me feel creative again
00:37:29You should play me something oh
00:37:32Come on. I've never heard you play before
00:37:36No surprise Kelsey hates our band
00:37:49I
00:38:19Oh
00:38:49I
00:39:19I
00:39:49I
00:40:19I
00:40:27Just kind of scratch my car
00:40:49I
00:41:19I
00:41:49I
00:42:19I
00:42:49I
00:42:57Hello, yeah
00:43:19There was anything wrong with them was there are you kidding Walter was one of the happiest people I've ever met
00:43:26He had a financial security got that new car
00:43:31You guys don't think you had anything to do with that house. Do you what are you talking about?
00:43:35You got to admit there was something off about that place
00:43:39Okay, pentagram that we found in the basement. I
00:43:43Oh my god, Sarah, this is not one of your storybooks. Okay, this is real life
00:43:50Our friend killed himself Kelsey Kelsey mean upset you
00:43:57Kelsey
00:43:59Great. She'll be fine
00:44:03Yeah, no
00:44:06I
00:44:08I
00:44:11Yeah, no, it's my fault
00:44:15You probably shouldn't have jumped cold theories. So soon. You don't really think it has anything to do with that house. Do you?
00:44:20I don't know maybe
00:44:23It's just this feeling that I get you know, maybe I'm crazy but I
00:44:30Think that we should go back
00:44:33Well, I did leave my knife there
00:44:36There's half a joint in the ashtray, we probably need to go back and clean that up before Walter's uncle gets there
00:44:41It doesn't blame anything on our party last night
00:44:44And that redneck D. Wayne will find any excuse to start shit
00:44:49Yeah, let's uh, let's go
00:44:52I
00:45:02Was he doing here
00:45:21Oh
00:45:51Himself something is going on
00:46:06Should we call the police? Well, I'm not getting blamed for that. We need to get out of here
00:46:21You
00:46:33What's next
00:46:51You
00:47:22It's a library, huh?
00:47:25You do know there's this cool thing called the Internet. I don't know if you've heard of it
00:47:29We're at the library because some of the information I need might not be on the Internet
00:47:35Also, I can always get more work done here rather than at some little coffee shop
00:47:42And what exactly are we looking for
00:47:46Not really sure
00:47:51I
00:48:00Did have a pretty weird dream last night though, it was about the house
00:48:07There was this little girl there and
00:48:10Someone called her. Hey, I
00:48:14Think she was a child bride or something
00:48:18Wait a second you're basing
00:48:21your research
00:48:23on a nightmare that you had
00:48:25Yeah, but
00:48:27Okay, I am almost positive that I saw that little girl in the basement standing behind Walter
00:48:33She was just standing there and then he goes to turn his light on her, but she disappeared
00:48:41Spirit yeah, like like a ghost disappeared
00:48:46Maybe I'm not buying into it
00:48:49And if crazy shit has happened to us since we left that house to warrant some questions, don't you think
00:48:55Yeah, no shit
00:48:57If you'd told me a week ago that Walter was gonna commit suicide
00:49:00And that I was gonna find a dead redneck in the floor of an abandoned house
00:49:03I would have said that you are having a bad ass a trip my friend
00:49:09What are you looking at so this says that the second owner of the house
00:49:15Charlotte Morgan was arrested multiple times between 1900 1904 for different counts of prostitution and pandering
00:49:24in December
00:49:261908 she sold the house and disappeared
00:49:30Okay, what good does that do us now though? It doesn't but it's the only lead that we have
00:49:37So
00:49:40You're saying this child that you may or may not have seen might or might not be the ghost of a Chinese child
00:49:47prostitute and
00:49:50She made Walter kill himself
00:49:58I can't believe this. No, I can't believe you
00:50:03No, no, no, you listen to me Walter was one of my best friends in the entire world
00:50:08And I cannot believe that you are doing this to me right now
00:50:32I
00:51:02You
00:51:32You
00:52:02Oh
00:52:04Oh
00:52:31Yes, are you oh shit
00:52:34Oh
00:52:57Can I come in
00:53:04I
00:53:11Sorry about your friends
00:53:17If you want to talk about anything, I just want you to know I'm here for you
00:53:26It's not even anything you can understand maybe not
00:53:35I think something is killing us
00:53:43When I went out the other night we went to this old abandoned house
00:53:48We were gonna throw a little party away from everyone else
00:53:56I think that's a ghost
00:53:59Spirit or something. It's been following us ever since making us kill ourselves
00:54:12Okay, I don't even care what you think I just wanted to tell somebody about it, it's okay
00:54:19You just promise you want some mom, okay
00:54:22Maybe if there's something occult in the works, we could find some kind of ritual or something
00:54:28Fuck it, if we're gonna die
00:54:31I say let's do it together
00:54:34What are you talking about?
00:54:36This has been by far the shittiest week of my life
00:54:40Two of my best friends are dead and now we're being hunted by a fucking ghost child
00:54:45I'm saying I don't think there is a way out of this
00:54:48Okay, so
00:54:50You want to
00:54:52Just give up and accept death
00:54:56I mean, what do you want me to do? We're running out of options here. We're dying
00:55:02Okay, you know I really didn't think that you were the kind of guy that would give up so easily
00:55:06Well, I don't think you understand the situation
00:55:09We are going to die Sarah. There's no way out of this
00:55:13Says who?
00:55:15You know, I don't give a shit whether or not you want to quit but I'm not gonna stop looking until I'm dead like Kelsey and Walter or until I can end my life
00:55:37You know, I don't give a shit whether or not you want to quit
00:55:41But I'm not gonna stop looking until I'm dead like Kelsey and Walter or until I can end this thing
00:55:46And you can either help me or you can die
