Good morning, I’m Peter Sommers
Top story today is 32 year old Swiss banker, Tobias Bachman
Is still missing after allegedly killing 6 people
Yep, all in, I just feel like my entire life is either in cardboard boxes or bin bags
No, no, you have got to see this house, it is gorgeous
Just hope my mums right about the rent because this place is way nicer then the last
Mr Bachman from the Chateau D'Oex, in Switzerland, has been missing since Thursday
Oh talk of the devil, she’s just pulled up with Emily
Yeah I’m going to have to catch you later Becca, yeah you too, all right, see you later
Police have no clue to his whereabouts, our man Matt is on the scene
So is it okay then sweetheart? The house?
Oh it’s lovely
I knew you’d like it
Like it, I love it
Oh I’m so pleased
Thanks mum
Did you manage to break anything while you were unpacking
No, there's still time
Where’s Mungo?
I had to pop him outside he was getting underfoot
Pop her down for me mum, I’ll go see what he’s up to and then I’ll pop the kettle on
Ok
I love this house
Mungo
What have you got now?
I can’t find any mugs
What’s that?
A box, the dog found it
It can’t have been there very long, I wonder what’s in it
Looks like a game, but, who’d bury a game
Probably kids mucking around, they do strange things like that
Ugly looking thing isn’t it?
Do you remember when you went through that phase of wanting to do everything
With your eyes closed
Oh yeah, I used to get dressed with my eyes closed
And put my clothes on and tie my shoelaces with my eyes closed
But I drew the line when it came to mealtimes, do you remember that oxtail soup
Can you get that for me mum?
Look who’s here
Oh, hi Laurie, Was just about to make a cuppa… do you want one?
Not for me, thanks, I’m not stopping… just popped in to see how the move went
Great, No problems… look I just wanted to thank you, you helped me out of a real hole
And it was a hole, too! That flat was disgusting… all that damp
Well, that’s in the past now, I just hope you’ll be happy here
I’m sure we will be, At least I know you’re not a slum landlord
Well, if you have any problems you just let me know
Thanks Laurie, I’ll bear than in mind
What are the local kids like, Laurie?
What the kids? They’re fine, Not much trouble
I wish they wouldn’t play football in the street though, They’ll break a window one of these days
Why do you ask?
No reason… But we just found something buried in the garden
What did you find?
This
It’s a game of some sort
Yeah, I think it’s called a spirit board
What’s a spirit board?
It’s just Tommy-rot, They’re used to contact the spirits of the dead, It’s just a load of rubbish
Sounds harmless enough, You don’t believe in that, do you?
No, I told you, It’s a load of tripe
But how did it end up being buried in the garden?
Like you said, probably kids mucking about, I’ll tan their arses if I see them
Only got UHT milk I’m afraid, Are you sure you don’t wanna stay for a cuppa, Laurie?
No thanks, love, I’ll be off now
I’ll be seeing you, India, And you remember where I am if you need me
Alright I’ll see you later Laurie
Bye
Such a lovely man
Yes… I wonder why it bothered him so much though
Dunno, mum… Here
How did the family first meet Laurie in the first place?
We’ve known him for years… like he says, he’s always here for us
So was he an old friend of grandad’s then?
I expect so
Do you know, now you’ve asked me I honestly can’t remember the first time I met Laurie
Must be my age, I’m cracking up
Okay, let’s see if we can’t get organised? Where do you want to start?
Hi Becca
Yeah, I was
No
I should have been up by now anyway
Yeah
I'm sure we can make that
Sids Cafe
11am
Uh-huh, we’ll be there
Ok,,, bye
I must be losing it
Why would I have brought this to bed with me
Hiya
Hi
Ok?
Yes, I suppose so
Look at what auntie Becca’s got
Just look at the mess she’ll make of that
Hi girls, what can I get for you?
Can I get a cuppa tea please? Do you want a brew
Two teas please, thanks
So are you all settled in then?
No, not yet I’m not even unpacked
Oh, I am sorry I couldn’t help with the move, There's no way I could have got the time off work
I was on a fag break when you called me
Oh, I phoned your friend Terry, He wants to see me about the job
Terry?
He’s my dad’s friend, I think he’s a bit of a letch
Oh, great! So I’m going to be working for a pervy old man
Calm down,,, he’s okay
I just think he’s a bit seedy, I mean he’s got to be nearly fifty
Oh yeah I remember, You think anyone over the age of thirty is over the hill
Well, you’re more or less past it by then
Does Nathan know your views… because he’s twenty-five
And you’re getting married next year so you could get a good
4 or 5 years out of him before you put him out to pasture
I’ll scare him into staying young
Anyway, when’re you going to see Terry?
He wants to see me tomorrow afternoon
Does he know you’re a single parent?
No
Do you think that’ll matter?
Dunno
Thanks
So who’s gonna look after Emily when your at work?
Mum’s volunteered, It’s only a part-time job so it won’t be every day
What about Paul?
Well, he’s not helped so far, so I don’t expect any help now
Doesn’t he pay anything towards her upkeep?
He hasn’t got anything, He’s either pissed or stoned or most of the time both
So we still on for tonight then? Bottle of wine and a chick flick?
If I can find the bottle opener
And this time I choose the film
Don’t worry about the bottle opener, I’ll bring a spare just in case
Whoops
Can I help you?
Erm,,, is Terry around?
I'm Terry
India Harper… we spoke on the phone about a job
Delighted
And who's this?
Oh, this is my daughter, Emily
Hello Emily
So who’d look after Emily if you came to work here, India?
My mum can fit around any hours you might want me to work
Have you worked in a retail environment before? What are you like handling money?
I used to work at Tesco
Tesco,,, right
Have you ever worked with animals before?
Well, sort of
Sort of?
Well I used to work at the fishmonger counter at Tesco
Well, you’ll find the stock a little more livelier here, but still slippery customers though
So what are you like handling rodents?
Fine… No problem
What about reptiles?
Again, no problem
Well, what would you be like feeding rodents to reptiles?
Well they have to be fed you know
I don't know
Well it’s a good job I don’t keep exotic pets here… we’re strictly a traditional pet pantry
Well, you come recommended by Rebecca
She's got a bit of an imagination on her mind
But she is a good girl
Her dad speaks highly of you
So do you want the job?
Yeah of course
Is that it?
Well the animals seem to like you, I’ll see you on Monday
Yeah, cool
Great
Bye
So then he was like, well the animals seem to like you and that was it
Well, things are looking up, aren’t they? New house, new job
We just need to sort you out with a new fella
Mungo’s the only man for me thank you
Well here’s to a bright future
Cheers
What’s the matter with Mungo? He’s usually my best mate when I visit
I don't know
He’s been off since we moved in
When I came in this afternoon from seeing Terry, he was just frantic
He’s probably just pleased to see you, You know, alone in a new house
Maybe
Just when we moved in he was fine and then
What?
Well, he found that box and he was desperate to get it out of the ground
Once I got it out, it was like he was
Terrified of it
What box?
Oh, some sort of board game, Laurie said it’s a spirit board
But I think it’s just some of the local kids messing around
What’s it for?
Apparently it’s for contacting the spirits of the dead
Actually I left it upstairs, I’ll go and fetch it for you
Ok that's weird
I swear I’d left it upstairs
Are you sure this is supposed to be safe? I mean you hear about stuff like this
You’re worse than Laurie, Of course it’s safe, It’s a board game like
Snakes ‘n’ ladders or ludo
Yeah but… what are you supposed to do?
I think we use this thing
And we each put a finger on it and ask it a question
Go on then, ask a question
How many children will Rebecca and Nathan have?
You pushed it
Moi? I think it’s more wishful thinking on your part
Ok
Let’s try again and I promise I won’t cheat this time
Ok
How many children will Rebecca and Nathan have?
I must not of closed the front door properly
Do you want another drink, settle your nerves?
No thanks
Fancy another go?
No thank you, I think I’ll take the hint
Are you ok?
Yeah, I’m just a bit cold
Do you want to borrow a jumper?
Could I?
I’ll get you one
No no no, I’ll get it
I need the loo anyway
What’s the matter, boy? You just haven’t been yourself, have you?
Well?
They’ve operated, She’s still unconscious
Did they say,,,
,,, Is she going to be alright?
They said it’s too soon to tell
It’s a really bad fracture
And who's with her now?
Her mum and dad and Nathan, he just dropped me off
I feel dreadful, Something like this happening in one of my houses
It’s my fault, I put the stupid baby gate up
It was an accident, sweetheart, She couldn’t see where she was going
A million-to-one accident,,, the policeman said that
Put the kettle on, shall I?
If you need anymore help just give me a shout okay?
Thank you
Are you going to see Rebecca tonight?
Yeah… visiting time is 5pm until 7pm
Any change?
Not really
She’s still in the coma… three weeks now and no change
I’ve hardly spoken to Michael since the accident, I don’t like to bother him really
Would you tell him that I’m thinking about them all?
Of course I will… how do you know him anyway?
We’ve known each other over thirty years, We went into apprenticeships together
Would you believe I went into engineering at first
I didn’t like it, Michael stuck with, I wasn’t that interested myself
He went on and carried on doing it, but my passion has always been with animals
Anyway, we ended-up being made redundant and I opened this place up
Michael went into business for himself
Then he met Elaine
And they had Rebecca
Happy families
Didn’t you ever fancy having a family yourself?
It was never in my blood really, I was an orphan
I never knew my dad and my mum died when I was four
And I was raised by my Auntie Elsie
That’s so sad
But hey, look, we're a bit quiet today, why don’t you get yourself off a little bit earlier
Go get yourself something to eat and you can spend more time with Rebecca
Thanks Terry
Emily?
Emily
Emily,,,, Emily,,, Emily
Earth to Earth, ashes to ashes, dust to dust, Amen
Stupid question really but how’re you doing?
Coping,,, just about
Well, I’ll go and say cheerio to Michael and be on my way
Hi
Thanks for coming
Will I see you at the wake later
No… since the accident I cant bare to be away from Emily
Understood
How is she holding up?
She’s fine… it was more the shock than anything… frightened me to death
Well
Glad she’s on the mend
Well, I’d better,,, you know
Poor, poor lad
He was always so confident she’d make it and now
Come on, sweetheart, Let’s get you home
I’ll just go and say goodbye to Michael I’ll meet you back at the car
Thanks for driving us Laurie
Everything okay?
Yes, just letting my imagination run away with me a little bit
What do you mean by that, imagination
It's nothing… just an old man’s fancies, Jumping at shadows
No… go on
I know it’s all nonsense really but,,,
,,, There are one or two things I didn't tell you about that house when India moved in
Like what?
Do you know Shakespeare?
Shakespeare?
Hamlet… There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio
Than are dreamt of in your philosophy
What? What’s that supposed to mean?
Sometimes there’s more than meets the eye
I don’t know what you’re trying to suggest, Laurie, but you just keep it to yourself
My daughter’s just had to say goodbye to her best friend, She’s heartbroken
India has enough to deal with right now
Without you frightening her and your scaremongering
I’m sorry,,, I won’t say a word, I promise
Oh, I’m sorry,,, it’s just the strain of these last two weeks, is just bubbling to the surface
You’ve been marvellous, With India and Emily and helping them out
We just need to think more positively, We need to put this dreadful time behind us
Owwww
Please can I have my ball back?
I’ll put a bloody carving knife through it
Neesha?
Up here
Is everything okay?
Something awful’s happened
It’s okay, Emily’s fine, she’s fine, it’s your dog
What about him? Where is he?
That’s just it… I don’t know, The front door bell rang, I answered the door
He ran through my legs and he was gone
But before then he’s was under the television, he wouldn’t come forward, then suddenly
Who was at the door?
That’s the peculiar thing… there was no-one at the door, No sign of anyone
Well, I suppose he wouldn’t have gotten far
I feel awful, I’m so sorry
Don’t worry about it Neesha, It’s not your fault
Honestly he’s been acting up the last couple of weeks
I’m sure he’s just gone to the park
And we’ll go down there and we’ll find him
Hiya mum… No, no sign of him yet
Nothing, Just listening to some music
Yeah
I suppose he’ll turn up when he’s hungry
Yeah, you too,,, Bye
Bloody kids
And you say you’ve never had trouble from this cheeky boy before
Who hangs around the back
He’s a nuisance with the football, Cheeky with it though
He nearly hit me with it yesterday, he was very rude too
But he’s never caused any damage to the property or anything like that?
Not deliberately, no
And you’ve never witnessed him doing any acts of cruelty to animals?
No
Well there's not a lot to go on
But just because he’s made a nuisance of himself with the football
Doesn’t mean to say that he’s going to do anything worse
But this is a serious matter and it’ll need to be looked into
If somebody is hurting animals they need to be stopped, I’ll make some enquiries
I’ll see you out
Why are all these things happening mum?
Oh Shhh
I’ll make some tea, shall I?
Do you want tea?
I want to know what’s going on
Going on?
Don’t mess about, Laurie, You know, What you told me at the funeral
I shouldn’t have brought that up
But you did bring it up, Why?
It’s nothing
Laurie, if you think there’s anything at all ‘wrong’ with this place
And India and Emily are in danger, you need to tell me and tell me now
I’m not sure there’s anything I can tell you
What do you mean by that?
At the funeral you said
More than meets the eye
What did you mean?
Laurie, Do you think there’s something wrong with this house?
Yes or no?
No
Then what’s it all about?
Karen
If I thought there was anything wrong with this house I would tell you
Ok
But what I said before still stands, Not a word to India
I’ll finish making the tea
Oh, and Laurie,,, there’s a packet of chocolate digestives in the end cupboard
Hello?
Oh,,, Hey
I have this,,,
,,, Board in a box, I wanted to sell it
I was wondering if I can get anything for it
Don't worry, it does that all the time… Now what have you got here?
I found it buried in my garden
An interesting place to find anything
Well I must say it's in nice condition considering
Do you think I could get much for it then?
Eastern European
Early 19th Century
They transported the wood from the Black Forest in Germany
So it is worth something then?
No, not really
There's no demand for them any more,,, witchboards
Mumbo jumbo stuff… Best not play with it though
Just in case
What have you got here?
What the hell are you doing here, Paul? How did you find me?
Look, I know it’s not cool to just turn up, but I couldn’t call you, I don’t have your number
Yeah, there’s a reason for that now piss off
Don’t say that, I just want to talk… Honest
Just leave me alone
I’ve got money
Money for you and Emily
Fine let's go for a coffee
Where did you get it?
Working
You mean dealing?
No, it’s all pukka
You haven’t told me how you found me
It was accidental… I saw you coming out of that pet shop on Pemberton Road
And followed you
When?
It was last week
So why didn’t you just speak to me?
I know it’s a bit weird but I knew you’d just shine me off if I came up to you in the street
So you decided to wait a week, and then tell me you’ve been stalking me
I was waiting until payday,,, I couldn’t just turn up empty-handed you know
See
So what’s this job then?
It’s nothing much, but I’ve got a job at the car plant, Do a lot of nights
So why haven’t you been in touch before? Where were you when Emily needed new things
I know I’ve been a bit of a slacker
A bit?
You haven’t had a job in the five years I’ve known you
And you’re always pissed or stoned and you don’t give a fuck about your own daughter
I know
I know, Look Inds, I know I’ve not been much of a dad to Emily but I want to make up for it
Where is Emily?
She’s with my mum, She’s giving me a day off
So where are you living now?
Back at mum and dad’s, as soon as I’ve got enough money I’ll get a flat
So why this sudden change of heart? You haven’t cared much up ‘til now
I heard about Rebecca
I didn’t like her much but it was a fucking horrible thing to happen
And it got me thinking a bit
Life’s too short, ain’t it?
So I,,,
,,, Got out her baby picture and it made me feel all funny, Like I should be doing more
Anyway, I asked mum and dad if I could move back in
I applied for a load of jobs, got the one at the car plant, I’ve been there three months
That’s got to be a record, You doing anything other than a week
Can I get you a drink?
Coffee would be good, Four sugars please
I see some things don’t change eh? I'll have a cup of tea please
Watch my things Paul, I need the loo
So what do you want to do?
Paul
What the fuck Paul
That was boiling
Jesus
Paul?
He’d been dead for about twelve hours when they found him
In the river?
But that’s miles away from the cafe, How could he have run all that way?
I think, knowing what we know of Mr, Simms, he might have taken drugs
We’ll know more for definite when we get the results of the post-mortem
If he was under the influence of LSD
He’d have run that three miles without even taking a breath
What are you doing up, sweetheart?
Couldn’t sleep… Kept seeing
It’s ok
We’ll see ourselves out
Try not to worry about this, India
If we have anymore questions we’ll be in touch, but I don’t think there’s much more to add
Thank you
Do you feel like a little something to eat?
No, I’m not hungry, I feel a bit sick
Hardly surprising, What the hell was he playing at?
I mean,,, I don’t know why you even went for coffee with him
You knew what he was like, People like him never change
I told you, It wasn’t like that
He was fine when I went to the toilet
Well he must have taken something while you were in there
Mum you’re not listening, something happened to him
Well drugs do funny things to people
I know what drugs can do, I was there, remember, It wasn’t the drugs
That’ll be Laurie
How is she?
Still shocked, Can you blame her?
Is Emily still with Neesha?
Yes, and I should think about collecting her, Neesha’s had her all day
Oh, Laurie, I don’t know what to say, I’m so sorry about this
Don’t worry about it, If anything, I should be apologising to you and India
Why? None of this is your fault
No, but I still feel so responsible
And remember, not a word about any silly theories
Sorry
Oh no love, the important thing is that you're okay
I don’t want to go back,,, Not yet mum
It’s okay, It’s okay, You don’t have to do anything until you’re ready
You can stay here for as long as you like
You don’t mind do you Laurie?
None of my business, love, You do whatever you think’s best, You just take your time
Right, I’ll be off, I just called round to see you’re alright
Penny for them, sweetheart
Do you believe in curses, mum?
What do you mean,,, Why’re you asking me that?
With everything thats happened, Rebecca’s accident
Emily falling in the bath, Mungo and now Paul
Of course I don’t believe in curses and neither should you, Bloody rubbish, It’s just bad luck
But everything’s gone wrong since I moved into that house, Nothing’s gone right
Well, what about your job? That was good luck, wasn’t it?
You’ve not mentioned this to anyone else, have you?
No, Like who?
Like Laurie for instance
No, why would I mention it to Laurie
Nothing
Shall I go and collect Emily,,, Neesha will think we’ve abandoned her
Hello, Mark, I was going to report you as missing
Yeah, sorry… business is booming, booming
I’ve been taking a new round since they built those new houses over on Baker Way
No time for your regulars now then?
I've always got time for the old favourites
Not so much of the old, Glad someone’s having some luck
Did you hear about what happened here?
Girl who lives here, Her friend fell down the stairs
That was here? I heard about that
Yeah, Anyway, can you do this as well as mine? Just knock on the door when you’re done
Can I get in round the back?
Yes, it should be open
Oh and Mark,,,
,,, Just mind out, Be careful
I’ve done this before a few times before I think I’ll be alright
Yeah, I don’t want any more accidents
Are you sure about this?
Yes mum… We can’t stay here indefinitely, can we?
Actually, you can and I wish you would
Mum, I’m too old for that, You know I like my independence
But after everything that’s happened?
Yeah but you were right
It’s just a case bad luck, The only way to do it is to get in front go it, it can’t last forever
Can it?
Well you will call if anything’s worrying you
Don’t I always
Oh hello Laurie
Hi Karen… I wasn’t expecting you today
Yeah well India insisted on coming back,,, I can't think why, but,,,
Oh hi
She's down
Look will someone please tell me what’s happening? Please
Laurie’s got a theory about,,, about what’s been happening
Well?
Come on, Laurie, If my daughter’s in any kind of danger I need to know about it
It’s like I told your mum, It’s as if this house has got bad luck associated with it
Well, you could say that
No, I mean looking back, it’s as if it’s always had bad luck associated with it
Please just tell me everything
Well, it’s sound ridiculous to say it but I think the place is haunted
Haunted… You mean ghosts?
Well,,, Yes
Mum
Laurie said there seems to have been a lot of misfortune here over the years
And you let Emily and me carry on living here when you knew that?
I didn’t believe it… Would you?
I don’t know what to believe
After everything that have happened I really don’t know what to believe anymore
See today clinched it for me
There was no way that, that hose would’ve got wrapped around the door handle
No way
And you really believe a ghost did that,,, do you know how mad that sounds?
But look what’s happened, look what happened since you moved in here
If just one of those things would have happened you could’ve maybe called it bad luck
Two, coincidence
What about the rest?
Your friend tripping
The toilet door sticking
I had that lock to pieces myself and there was absolutely nothing wrong with it, Nothing at all
Your boyfriend
So what do we do?
I don’t know
Look
I don’t believe in ghosts,,, but I do believe that this place,,, has bad luck
You can stop with me for as long as you like, you know that
I think we need to keep our heads
Well perhaps we need to seek some professional help for this
Professional?
I’ll phone Father West and ask him to pop round
Father West? Why?
Is that really necessary?
It’ll put everyone’s mind at rest,,, Right now these two are coming with me
Go and get Emily,,, Can you help me with the bags, put them in the car?
I’m not going to be forced out, mum
We’ll come with you tonight,,, But I’m going to get to the bottom of all this
Hello?
Hello Misses Harper?
Misses Harper?
Sorry if I’m a bit early, I was due to call on Mrs, Frobisher
But she cancelled on me at the last minute
Anyway, that’s about the size of it, He was very shaken-up
I’ve sent him on retreat for a couple of weeks, Recharge his batteries, He’ll be okay after a rest
And you believe all that? Everything he told you?
Mrs, Harper, I think you’d probably be surprised at what we’re called on to believe at times
But in this day and age
Well extraordinary to think, but it does happen
And the age we live in is immaterial, You say there was a spirit board?
Yes, but it’s just a toy, isn’t it?
Believe me, dabbling with such things is no game
And the consequences can be too terrible to contemplate
So it was my fault for messing with it?
Oh no, I doubt it, If what Mr, Fairbairn’s tells me is true
This goes back some time, The spirit board was more likely the trigger than the cause
Sometimes incidents of this nature can be attributed to a form of psychosis
So you think I’ve made this up,,, That I'm mad?
Oh, no, no, no, That’s not what it means
The human brain is a very powerful organ, It’s capable of much more than we might imagine
I never really thought there was so much in it
Have you ever heard the expression
The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist?
The Usual Suspects, 1995,,, But Hollywood stole it from higher sources, as they wont to do
You don’t believe it’s the Devil, do you?
My faith in the Almighty is unshakable, Mrs, Harper, but for every Yin there is a Yang
I don’t follow you
You know it’s funny how so many believers have an unshakable Faith in our Lord
But have trouble admitting to belief in the powers of darkness
However,,, In order to believe in one, you must believe in the other
And you believe this is the work of the Devil?
Not necessarily but I do believe that unquiet spirits might be at work in the house
That’s unbelievable
It’s not as uncommon as you might think,,, Have you seen the film Poltergeist?
The one with the clown and the tree?
That’s it… 1982, But did you ever see Poltergeist 2?
Oooh you must, 1986, Fascinating stuff
Shows how the potent combination of madness and religion can… in theory, of course
Prove sufficient to enable passage from the netherworld to our own
Much has been made of the scientific study of poltergeists
But in my opinion this second movie delves into uncharted realms
Insanity as a bridge from the other Side
Insanity?
Not in any conventional sense, my dear
Lunatics on the loose, induced latent psychosis, all that hogwash, No no no
What we may be facing is a genuine spirit of evil
Somehow, whatever this is has found a portal to the earthly realm
The movie depicts a seemingly physical menace
But what we’re dealing with may well be incapable of materialisation
So instead it has to plant hallucinatory visions in the consciousness
Of those it wishes to do harm
Merely my theory, of course
Though one backed up by research by some of the leading experts in the field
That's incredible,,, So what can we do?
I’d like to take a look for myself if I may?
Would you like me to come with you?
Thank you, I’ll go over tomorrow, This needs looking into as soon as possible
Don’t look so worried
These may be powerful forces we’re dealing with but we have good on our side
We will prevail
Ah Mrs Harper
Bishop Chapman
Laurie
Now don’t expect any of those Father Merrin power of Christ antics
The reality of these matters is usually somewhat less dramatic
Than cinema would have us believe
Father Merrin? That’s The Exorcist isn’t it?
Two points, my dear, Some in the Church admired it greatly
But I saw the real thing once and have to say the film got it all wildly wrong
The lounge?
Straight through
Splendid
Oh dear Lord
Oh dear dear me, I’m really, terribly sorry, Bishop
It’s just like that film you mentioned isn’t it
But I came in and hovered while India was out at work
I’m awfully sorry, I cant imagine what you must have thought
No harm done, let me help you put everything back
So, Bishop – do you think it’s all clear?
Well I’ve seen nothing to indicate otherwise, this house may well be untainted at present
At present?
Do you mean there could be other
Manifestations? Well, given the extraordinary events you’ve described
Plus poor Father West’s troubles
I hesitate to give the all-clear, There seems to be little more I can do here today, however
Other than demolish another of these delicious iced confections
Hodges you’re among friends, were just here to help
What the hells happening?
I honestly don’t know, Charlie, He just started foaming at the mouth, about ten minutes ago
Thanks for answering to the call so quickly
I’ll try to close in
Charlie,,, Charlie
Officer down
Are you sure you want to do this,,, You said you didn’t believe in it
I don’t really,,, What about you?
I’m just here to help,,, If I can
I suppose I’m trying to prove a negative
If nothing happens we can call it bullshit and move forward
The Bishop’s clearly a believer in evil as well as the forces for good
And he seemed to doubt that there was anything to fear here, I just want to be sure
Well if you’re sure?
Sure I’m sure,,, Let’s finish this
Let’s start with the old favourite shall we?
Is there anybody there?
Let me try
How did the board get here?
We’re getting nowhere
It’s probably a good job too,,, You might just be right
Let's try again please
Becca
What really killed Rebecca?
Come on girl, that’s a bit much
I just… I miss her
I know, whatever may or may not happen here, don’t tie that terrible accident into it all
It’s like the Bishop said, in a funny way it’s not ghosts or ghouls that influencing us
It’s us
You know people come up with some funny shit sometimes
Odd connections, stuff buzzing through your brain
It’s trying to make sense even where there isn’t any
Ok
Just one more time and we’ll call it a night?
Okay then girl, make it a good one
Can you tell,,, What really happened to Father West?
You know, this board’s not giving anything up tonight, Perhaps there’s nothing to give
Perhaps the Bishop was right,,, Coincidence,,, Psycho-suggestion, all in the head
What happened to Rebecca
Could have happened to me or anyone who went past that baby gate
And losing a good friend so young like that
You’re bound to want answers,,, But sometimes that’s not possible
Thanks for coming tonight
I don’t know who else I’d have asked,,, Even if we both look a bit silly now
Well like you said, at least you might have proved a point
Well, sounds as though the winds picking up, I’d better wander back
Are you going to be okay?
Fine… Fine,,, I’ll see you soon
Goodnight India, love
Laurie?
Becca?
Fuck you
Shit
Fuck
Get out of my life
Leave me alone
Good morning
I'm Peter Sommers
