(Imitating Elvis): Oh, Mama,
my legs feel like rubber.
I could have danced all night
if only I had someone to dance
with.
(Laughing)
Are you still thinking about
what you saw in that empty
house?
ANNIE (Laughing): Are you?
Yes!
Okay, I am.
So why didn’t you go in and
have a look?
Well, I was going to go.
Not afraid of ghosts, are
you?
It was probably just some
sort of sorority prank, or
something.
Oh, yeah, probably.
What else could it have been?
Well, a spirit, a ghost.
Casper.
I see him all the time.
There’s no such things, Nick.
Look, I’m not going to argue
with you - you saw it, I didn’t.
The question is, what are you
going to do about it?
What I’m going to do is go
get a flashlight and check it
out.
Who wants to join me?
Me!
I’m not afraid of ghosts!
Okay.
Uh, Freddie’s got to get to
bed soon.
Are you kidding?
It’s getting late, kid!
Uh, yeah, I’m going with
them, sorry.
Okay, well that just leaves
you and me, Nick.
We just got here.
Look, I’ll tell you what I’m
going to do.
Tell me on the way.
Come on.
(Owl hooting)
You know, I’ve always wanted
to see inside this place.
Of course, I could have waited
until daylight.
You scared?
What, do I look like the
superstitious type?
That’s where you saw it, eh?
Yep.
Maybe it was just some
bizarre trick of the imagination
- you know, moonlight and
shadow, all that stuff.
Well, it could have been.
I definitely saw something,
though.
Yeah, right.
You really think I saw a
ghost, don’t you?
Well, let’s just say I don’t
hold the same scientific
convictions as you.
Beautiful.
This is a renovator’s nightmare,
and a phantom’s delight.
Hello!
Anybody here?
Fat chance.
Look at the dust in this place.
Nothing’s been in here for
years.
Nothing human, anyway.
(Maniacal laughter)
So what’s the game plan.
Well, I’ll check around
upstairs, you look around down
here.
What do you mean, split up?
It’ll save time.
I don’t know, Tom, is that
such a good idea?
I mean, you see it in the
movies, but do you really want
to go up there alone?
Well, I can handle it if you
can.
No sweat.
I’ll scream if I turn up
anything.
(Laughing)
Ghosty!
(Whistling)
Where are you?
Come here, boy!
Come here little ghost!
Come on!
(Whistling)
(Scary breathing)
(Laughing)
What are you doing up there,
Tom?
Tom?
Tom, where are you?
Tom?
Tom!
Tom?
(Door slamming)
Wah!
(Vampire impression): Good
evening.
Tom, that’s not very funny.
Ah, I’m just joking around.
Yeah, sure.
I found what I saw earlier.
It was the moon reflected off a
mirror through the curtain.
Look at this.
Oh, good, there’s nothing
downstairs except cobwebs and
mice.
Can we check out, now?
No no, we’ve got to finish
looking around.
If you want to look around,
go ahead.
I’ll wait outside.
Hey, Nick, lighten up.
Tom, this place gives me the
chills.
I just don’t like it.
Okay, I’ll be out in a sec.

So are you satisfied?
You’re right, that place is
eerie.
You felt it too, huh?
Did you just hear music?
Music?
What kind of music?
Like an old ’fifties tune.
I didn’t hear a thing.
You’re still hearing the music
from the dance.
Come on.
It sounded like a car radio or
something.
Nope.
Don’t give me "nope".
Well, Tom I’ve been standing
right here the whole time.
"Nope" car went by.
Well, I definitely heard
music.
Sure you did.
Come on, let’s go.
I know I heard music.
You’re unbelievable.
Two hours ago nothing in the
world could make you believe in
ghosts.
Then you think you hear music
and you change your mind just
like that.
Hey hey hey, I’m not changing
my mind.
I know what I heard.
♪ I hear music
♪ Sweet, sweet
You didn’t hear it, right?
No, no.
I was outside.
Maybe there really is
something going on in that
house.
Oh, don’t you start.
Let’s face it, Tom.
You heard a ghost.
Why don’t you go talk to
Professor Talbot.
You know, the neat guy from the
psych department.
Yeah, maybe I will.
This is going to bug me until I
find some logical explanation.
So, that’s the story: Roxy
thought that because you’re the
resident expert on
parapsychology--
"Expert."
In this field, there’s no such
animal.
But I’m fascinated by the
possibilities.
Do you believe in ghosts?
Don’t you?
Nope.
What about the music that Tom
heard?
Simple.
Either someone’s putting you on,
or you had a paranormal
experience.
Do you know Cawthra House?
Oh, every dark corner.
Students have been making up
ghost stories about that place
for years.
I’ve poked around a little.
Did you ever find anything?
Zip.
The place was clean.
But that was five years ago.
Things change.
You mean ghosts might have
moved in since then?
Give me a break.
Well, why not?
There are two major theories to
hauntings: one is that ghosts
are like and echo or an
after-image of an event that
took place in that location.
And that echo can be picked
up by a psychically sensitive
person.
Right!
And door number two?
They’re spirits trapped on
earth because of unfinished
business.
They can’t leave until they get
things straightened out.
Have you ever seen one?
Nope.
Never been that lucky.
Listen, if you’re genuinely
interested in this, I’d be glad
to lend you my gear.
You can do some tests of your
own.
Oh, do it, Tom!
Yeah, why not?
I’ve come this far.
Let’s go to the lab.
We’ll catch you later.
I promised Freddie I’d show her
around.
Yeah.
Happy hunting.
This is your electronic
thermometer.
It gives you an instant readout.
A sudden drop in temperature
indicates the presence of a
ghost, right?
You’re doing some reading?
Yeah, a bit.
That’s the spirit.
Now, this camera has a built in
sensor that triggers the shutter
when magnetic impulses exceed
3600.
Again, an indication of an
ectoplasmic entity.
Yeah, how about the tape
recorder?
Hyper-sensitive mic.
If it’s possible to record a
ghost, this is the machine to do
it.
(Laughing)
Something the matter?
Do you really think all this
is possible?
I’m a scientist, Tom.
I’m always looking for clues.
Ooh, ghost busting equipment.
We’re really taking this thing
seriously, aren’t we?
Yep, I’m going to prove once
and for all that there’s nothing
going on in that house.
Well, Nick and I have been
doing a little research on our
own.
Yeah, we found a news article
you might be interested in.
Okay, I’m listening.
In 1958, a girl died in the
Cawthra House.
Oh?
Her name was Fiona.
Yeah, that’s right, and she
lived there with her father.
What happened?
Well, it says here she had an
accident on the front stairs.
Yeah, everybody says it’s
her ghost that haunts the place.
Well, come on!
Do you think the person you saw
in the window was a girl?
What I saw in the window was
the moonlight reflected off a
mirror.
Well what about the music?
♪ Doo doo, I ain’t afraid of no
ghost! ♪
Nick!
Will you get serious?
Why bother?
Who ever heard about a ghost
appearing in broad daylight.
Well, we might have to wait
until night.
I just got serious.
If somebody rigged up a sound
system for the music you heard,
I can’t find it, okay?
Well, it had to have come
from somewhere, didn’t it?
Here.
Okay.
Listen, I’m just going to
have a look upstairs.
Maybe I can find a ghost or two
that wants to have her picture
taken.
Thanks a lot, Nick.
All right, this is all set
up.
I think I’m going to have a look
upstairs too.
Okay.
Hey, look at this.
What?
The temperature’s dropping.
Look.
Oh yeah.
Oh, it’s the wind coming through
the door.
That thing’s really sensitive.
Oh, I guess you’re right.
Is everything set up down
there?
Yeah.
He’s just fiddling around with
the tape recorder.
You know, this place doesn’t
seen scary at all in broad
daylight.
Yeah, I guess you have to
wait until it gets dark.
I guess.
Hey, quiet up there you guys.
NICK: Yeah, okay Tom.
And this is Fiona’s bedroom.
Where Tom saw his first
ghost.
(Laughing)
(Banging and ghostly voice)
VOICE: Go away.
Go away.
(Door banging, clattering)
You guys okay?
ANNIE: Yeah, we’re fine.
What happened.
Did you guys hear it?
Of course we heard it.
What was it?
I don’t know.
I really think we should get
out of here.
(Scary breathing)
What is it?
It’s a book.
Yeah.
Let’s go look at the photos.
Come on.
Aren’t you coming?
Oh, I can’t believe this.
There’s nothing there.
Look.
I wonder what triggered the
camera.
I don’t know.
Are you sure it was set up
properly?
Yeah.
I don’t understand.
Well, maybe there’s something
on the tape recorder.
Well, I don’t know guys--
ANNIE: Yeah yeah yeah.
We’ll take it to the lab and
find out, okay?
Okay, here it goes.
You know, this place doesn’t
seem scary at all in broad
daylight.
Yeah, I guess--
Sounds like Annie and Nick.
Yeah, so far.
(Rewinding)
Okay, listen.
(Scary whispering)
What’s that?
Shh!
(Groaning and whispering)
VOICE: Go away!
Go away?
It was telling you to go away.
I can’t believe this!
Neither can I.
That is definitely not the
wind.
It sounds like--
--a ghost.
Oh, this is too weird.
Yeah, I really think you
should stay away from this
house.
Hey, where are you guys
going?
This could be a scientific
breakthrough!
I don’t even think I really
want to know about it, okay?
Yeah, ditto.
My nightmares are real enough
already.
Yeah, but this is
unbelievable!
Oh, I couldn’t believe it!
It was beautiful!
(Laughing)
The way you rigged that camera,
he was completely taken in!
Oh, the voices on the tape.
The voices on the tape.
He’s going to flip when he finds
out we set them up!
And the book!
When did you put the book there?
I didn’t.
I thought you did.
No!
You guys aren’t going to
believe this.
I don’t know - right now we’d
believe just about anything.
Well, the book we found is
Fiona Cawthra’s diary.
It’s an incredible story!
What?
Well, you said Fiona was
living alone in that house with
her father, right?
And she was going out with a
local guy by the name of Bobby.
Really?
According to the diary,
Fiona’s father didn’t like
Bobby, and he tried to break it
up.
But the two of them kept on
seeing each other, secretly.
They finally decided to run
away.
But on the night they planned
to take off, Fiona’s father
found out about it.
We figure it happened like
this...
TOM: Fiona was waiting for
Bobby in her room.
(Horn honking)
ROXY: When she head his car,
she went to the window and
waved.
Then she grabbed her suitcase,
and headed for the hall.
♪ I want you night and day
TOM: But her father heard
her.
Fiona, where are you going?
TOM: He tried to stop her.
FIONA: Please, let me go!
FATHER: You will do as I say!
TOM: Fiona broke free and ran
down the stairs.
GIRL: And she tripped and
fell.
Fiona!
TOM: It was an accident.
FATHER: Fioooooona!
That’s pretty bizarre, guys.
Obviously, Fiona’s ghost has
been trying to escape from the
house ever since.
Aren’t you taking this a
little too far?
Are we?
Well maybe it was Fiona I saw in
the window.
You said it was a reflection!
Yeah, well I could have been
wrong.
Okay, here’s the capper.
We figure Fiona has chosen Tom
to help her escape.
Well how do you know that?
It’s Bobby.
I found it in the diary.
This looks like you!
Yeah, I know.
But I can’t explain how this is
happening.
All I know is that it is.
And somehow I’ve got to help
Fiona escape.
But she’s a ghost.
We’re going down to the house
right now.
You can join us if you want.
Okay, is everyone ready?
ANNIE: Yeah, yeah, I guess
so.
This is really exciting!
NICK: Exciting’s not really
the word I had in mind, but--
Okay, now everyone keep
still.
Tom, don’t you think you’re
taking this thing a bit too far?
Shh!
Here it goes.
Fiona?
(Laughing)
Fiona!
Fiona, if you can hear me, we
know your story.
We know your father stopped
you from leaving, but he can’t
stop you any more.
Oh, come on, guys.
I mean, this really isn’t very
funny.
We’re your friends.
We want to help you.
FIONA: Bobby.
Bobby.
It’s okay.
You’re free to go now.
FATHER: Go away!
You can’t stop her any more,
Cawthra.
Let her go!
She loves Bobby.
Let her go!

I know.

Oh no, she’s back!
I do believe in ghosts!
I do believe in ghosts!
I do--
What’s going on!?
It was Roxy’s idea.
I just invited a few of my
friends from the local theatre
company.
(Laughing)
Annie and Nick, I’d like you
to meet Jenny, Bill, and David.
ALL: Hello.
You know, I really enjoyed
your earlier show.
So we decided one good ghost
story deserved another.
What do you mean?
We knew that you two rigged
up the house to make all those
noises.
Well then why didn’t you say
anything?
Well, we didn’t want to spoil
your fun.
The diary was a great touch.
What, you mean the book you
found?
Yeah.
Sorry, that wasn’t us.
Seriously?
Yeah, well what about he
music stunt you pulled.
That was a pretty good one.
Uh, I really did hear
something.
Wait a minute, are you
saying?
♪ Young love will last today--
No!
It couldn’t be.
No way.
No way for what?
Nothing Freddie.
Nothing at all.
I think.
(Laughing)
ANNIE: The imagination is a
creative process through which
images and ideas are formed in
the mind.
TOM: Everything we see, hear,
smell, or taste, can trigger
this creative process.
ANNIE: People use their
imagination to create everything
from spoons to spaceships.
TOM: In our minds, we can
travel to exotic places, imagine
things we’ve never known, and
create fantasies that don’t
exist.
ANNIE: But sometimes our
imaginations can go too far, and
confuse the real with the
imagined.

Happy hunting.
This is your electronic
thermometer.
It gives you an instant readout.
A sudden drop in temperature
indicates the presence of a
ghost, right?
You’re doing some reading?
Yeah, a bit.
That’s the spirit.
Now, this camera has a built in
sensor that triggers the shutter
when magnetic impulses exceed
3600.
Again, an indication of an
ectoplasmic entity.
Yeah, how about the tape
recorder?
Hyper-sensitive mic.
If it’s possible to record a
ghost, this is the machine to do
it.
(Laughing)
Something the matter?
Do you really think all this
is possible?
I’m a scientist, Tom.
I’m always looking for clues.
Ooh, ghost busting equipment.
We’re really taking this thing
seriously, aren’t we?
Yep, I’m going to prove once
and for all that there’s nothing
going on in that house.
Well, Nick and I have been
doing a little research on our
own.
Yeah, we found a news article
you might be interested in.
Okay, I’m listening.
In 1958, a girl died in the
Cawthra House.
Oh?
Her name was Fiona.
Yeah, that’s right, and she
lived there with her father.
What happened?
Well, it says here she had an
accident on the front stairs.
Yeah, everybody says it’s
her ghost that haunts the place.
Well, come on!
Do you think the person you saw
in the window was a girl?
What I saw in the window was
the moonlight reflected off a
mirror.
Well what about the music?
♪ Doo doo, I ain’t afraid of no
ghost! ♪
Nick!
Will you get serious?
Why bother?
Who ever heard about a ghost
appearing in broad daylight.
Well, we might have to wait
until night.
I just got serious.
If somebody rigged up a sound
system for the music you heard,
I can’t find it, okay?
Well, it had to have come
from somewhere, didn’t it?
Here.
Okay.
Listen, I’m just going to
have a look upstairs.
Maybe I can find a ghost or two
that wants to have her picture
taken.
Thanks a lot, Nick.
All right, this is all set
up.
I think I’m going to have a look
upstairs too.
Okay.
Hey, look at this.
What?
The temperature’s dropping.
Look.
Oh yeah.
Oh, it’s the wind coming through
the door.
That thing’s really sensitive.
Oh, I guess you’re right.
Is everything set up down
there?
Yeah.
He’s just fiddling around with
the tape recorder.
You know, this place doesn’t
seen scary at all in broad
daylight.
Yeah, I guess you have to
wait until it gets dark.
I guess.
Hey, quiet up there you guys.
NICK: Yeah, okay Tom.
And this is Fiona’s bedroom.
Where Tom saw his first
ghost.
(Laughing)
(Banging and ghostly voice)
VOICE: Go away.
Go away.
(Door banging, clattering)
You guys okay?
ANNIE: Yeah, we’re fine.
What happened.
Did you guys hear it?
Of course we heard it.
What was it?
I don’t know.
I really think we should get
out of here.
(Scary breathing)
What is it?
It’s a book.
Yeah.
Let’s go look at the photos.
Come on.
Aren’t you coming?
Oh, I can’t believe this.
There’s nothing there.
Look.
I wonder what triggered the
camera.
I don’t know.
Are you sure it was set up
properly?
Yeah.
I don’t understand.
Well, maybe there’s something
on the tape recorder.
Well, I don’t know guys--
ANNIE: Yeah yeah yeah.
We’ll take it to the lab and
find out, okay?
Okay, here it goes.
You know, this place doesn’t
seem scary at all in broad
daylight.
Yeah, I guess--
Sounds like Annie and Nick.
Yeah, so far.
(Rewinding)
Okay, listen.
(Scary whispering)
What’s that?
Shh!
(Groaning and whispering)
VOICE: Go away!
Go away?
It was telling you to go away.
I can’t believe this!
Neither can I.
That is definitely not the
wind.
It sounds like--
--a ghost.
Oh, this is too weird.
Yeah, I really think you
should stay away from this
house.
Hey, where are you guys
going?
This could be a scientific
breakthrough!
I don’t even think I really
want to know about it, okay?
Yeah, ditto.
My nightmares are real enough
already.
Yeah, but this is
unbelievable!
Oh, I couldn’t believe it!
It was beautiful!
(Laughing)
The way you rigged that camera,
he was completely taken in!
Oh, the voices on the tape.
The voices on the tape.
He’s going to flip when he finds
out we set them up!
And the book!
When did you put the book there?
I didn’t.
I thought you did.
No!
You guys aren’t going to
believe this.
I don’t know - right now we’d
believe just about anything.
Well, the book we found is
Fiona Cawthra’s diary.
It’s an incredible story!
What?
Well, you said Fiona was
living alone in that house with
her father, right?
And she was going out with a
local guy by the name of Bobby.
Really?
According to the diary,
Fiona’s father didn’t like
Bobby, and he tried to break it
up.
But the two of them kept on
seeing each other, secretly.
They finally decided to run
away.
But on the night they planned
to take off, Fiona’s father
found out about it.
We figure it happened like
this...
TOM: Fiona was waiting for
Bobby in her room.
(Horn honking)
ROXY: When she head his car,
she went to the window and
waved.
Then she grabbed her suitcase,
and headed for the hall.
♪ I want you night and day
TOM: But her father heard
her.
Fiona, where are you going?
TOM: He tried to stop her.
FIONA: Please, let me go!
FATHER: You will do as I say!
TOM: Fiona broke free and ran
down the stairs.
GIRL: And she tripped and
fell.
Fiona!
TOM: It was an accident.
FATHER: Fioooooona!
That’s pretty bizarre, guys.
Obviously, Fiona’s ghost has
been trying to escape from the
house ever since.
Aren’t you taking this a
little too far?
Are we?
Well maybe it was Fiona I saw in
the window.
You said it was a reflection!
Yeah, well I could have been
wrong.
Okay, here’s the capper.
We figure Fiona has chosen Tom
to help her escape.
Well how do you know that?
It’s Bobby.
I found it in the diary.
This looks like you!
Yeah, I know.
But I can’t explain how this is
happening.
All I know is that it is.
And somehow I’ve got to help
Fiona escape.
But she’s a ghost.
We’re going down to the house
right now.
You can join us if you want.
Okay, is everyone ready?
ANNIE: Yeah, yeah, I guess
so.
This is really exciting!
NICK: Exciting’s not really
the word I had in mind, but--
Okay, now everyone keep
still.
Tom, don’t you think you’re
taking this thing a bit too far?
Shh!
Here it goes.
Fiona?
(Laughing)
Fiona!
Fiona, if you can hear me, we
know your story.
We know your father stopped
you from leaving, but he can’t
stop you any more.
Oh, come on, guys.
I mean, this really isn’t very
funny.
We’re your friends.
We want to help you.
FIONA: Bobby.
Bobby.
It’s okay.
You’re free to go now.
FATHER: Go away!
You can’t stop her any more,
Cawthra.
Let her go!
She loves Bobby.
Let her go!

I know.
(Horn honking)
Oh no, she’s back!
I do believe in ghosts!
I do believe in ghosts!
I do--
What’s going on!?
It was Roxy’s idea.
I just invited a few of my
friends from the local theatre
company.
(Laughing)
Annie and Nick, I’d like you
to meet Jenny, Bill, and David.
ALL: Hello.
You know, I really enjoyed
your earlier show.
So we decided one good ghost
story deserved another.
What do you mean?
We knew that you two rigged
up the house to make all those
noises.
Well then why didn’t you say
anything?
Well, we didn’t want to spoil
your fun.
The diary was a great touch.
What, you mean the book you
found?
Yeah.
Sorry, that wasn’t us.
Seriously?
Yeah, well what about he
music stunt you pulled.
That was a pretty good one.
Uh, I really did hear
something.
Wait a minute, are you
saying?
♪ Young love will last today--
No!
It couldn’t be.
No way.
No way for what?
Nothing Freddie.
Nothing at all.
I think.
(Laughing)
ANNIE: The imagination is a
creative process through which
images and ideas are formed in
the mind.
TOM: Everything we see, hear,
smell, or taste, can trigger
this creative process.
ANNIE: People use their
imagination to create everything
from spoons to spaceships.
TOM: In our minds, we can
travel to exotic places, imagine
things we’ve never known, and
create fantasies that don’t
exist.
ANNIE: But sometimes our
imaginations can go too far, and
confuse the real with the
imagined.
