The People in the Walls

It's just me.

Are you all right?

No.

What's wrong?

Do you see the video I sent you?

The duck one?

No. You know what I'm talking about.

The one with the people.

Becka, I don't know what you sent me, but I don't have any other videos

from you.

It's Sammy.

I'm back.

Today we're going to do something that my friend told me about,

and it completely works. All right.

So right now I have my doll set up right here.

So that way

I'll give my guest something to play with and my closet.

And then we're going to turn out the lights.

I set you up.

Okay.

Kind of scared

people who are in the walls.

Please come out.

People who are in the walls.

Please come out.

Well, sometimes it doesn't work.

See you later.

That was creepy.

So this scared you?

I did it.

It worked.

Bullshit.

I know what this is.

You're trying to set me up so you can scare the crap out of me.

Who else is here?

I'm not joking.

So you're saying this works?

You want to see?

If there's anything in these walls?

Please let yourself be known.

Please let yourself be known.

If. If there's anything in these walls, please see yourself be known.

What happened?

You didn't see it?

No.

Baby, Let's go.

Well, I appreciate you letting me know.

Thank you.

Great.

Movers had a flat, so they run a little behind.

Okay.

This is good.

It's got that

pungent aroma. Old.

And you cannot complain about my house pick.

You're the one that wanted to buy that weird murder house.

I'm not complaining. I'm just

giving merrily sarcastic grunts.

Well, you can grunt this into the kitchen for me.

Hey, kiddo.

It's not going to be forever.

I know.

Tell you what

why don't you pick your room.

You're joking.

No, I'm serious.

It's not like we're going to be here that long, and

until we can stage and get it sold.

You can pick any room you want,

even, like the living room.

Okay, That's terrible choice.

But, yeah, Even like the living room.

Deal.

Don't pick something that's going to upset your Dad too much.

There are no rules earlier.

You can change things all of a sudden. Okay.

All right.

Just make a choice before the movers.

Get here.

No, there's a lot of things that I will give up, but absolutely not.

I will not give up my kitchen.

But, Mom said that I can have any room in the house I wanted.

Did she?

What would make Mom think that this is a good idea?

Sounded like a good idea at the time.

Any excuse to irritate Dad.

So there was intent.

Success. Kudos.

But no on the kitchen.

But Mom told me that I can sleep anywhere.

And Mom could tell you that there's a family of elves that live in the attic.

You want another slice of pizza?

Rachel.

Grab that drill for me.

Have a seat for me.

Okay...

I know it's not always

easy being the new girl.

I just want you to know that

I understand what you're going through.

You were the new girl.

Okay, smarty pants.

No. And yes,

the truth is, when I was your age,

I got

a bullied a lot

kids can be cruel.

Wasn't because I was small and weak

because I had big old muscles and they were afraid of me.

And this helps, How?

I promise.

This is the last time.

Okay?

Soon as this house sells, we will get a permanent house

and there'll be no more flipping.

You said that last time.

I know.

And I meant it.

Times are tough right now.

Not just for your mom and I, but for everyone.

I just want you to know that I'm here for you.

If you ever want to talk, I'm here to listen.

If you don't talk about anything, anything at all.

Daddy's here.

Okay.

Okay.

Get off to school.

Learn something today Gonna I ask you later what you learned.

You better have an answer.

Hey, who are you and what are you doing here?

I'm just walking the school.

This path doesn't go anywhere.

Why are you here?

I just moved here.

I don't know where this one went.

I just took this path.

What's your name?

Rachel.

Yours?

Nancy.

Did you put all these up?

Yeah, I did.

Why?

Right back here before it gets dark

again. Why?

Just do it.

Hey, it's me, um, this is Chris.

Hey, are you a new girl?

Ever seen her before?

No.

Then she's new.

So what is all of this?

Why are we out here?

Hold on.

There's a special time Wendigo time.

What is all this?

It's a cryptic club.

Chris.

Do you even know what cryptive is?

You?

No.

Have you ever heard of the Wendigo?

No.

The Lochness Monster?

No.

She says lot.

There's this creature.

It's the Wendigo.

It's a curse of the Native American tribes put on this land.

It mimics people and takes them away.

So it just looks like a person?

No, it's like a forest long troll thing.

Made out of wood with horns.

Why did you hang up

all these missing posters?

We're trying to lure over and catch it.

Catch it? How?

With traps.

I've been studying up on trap buildings for almost a whole year now.

I practice on my cat mostly.

You didn't hurt your cat, did you?

No. I mean, she's missing a tail, but Grandma said she was getting old

anyway, so I was likely to fall up sooner or later.

Have you ever seen anything?

No. I've caught tracks, though.

I've been told they are just my neighbor's dogs.

But I'm pretty sure it was the Wendigo.

Were you waiting on others to join this?

It's me, her and my boy Blue.

He's my little brother.

I'm just supposed to bring him around.

So far, it's just me and you.

If you want to join.

Have you ever heard something about

the people who.

Live in the walls?

No.

That's why I'm here.

Let's talk somewhere safe.

Oh, sick.
