Secrets of Sulphur Springs

You really think this place is haunted?

Only one way to find out.

Unless you're too scared.

Uh, I'm not.

Boy: Go ahead, Topher.

Come on. Look inside.

I dare you.

Aaaaah!

Wyatt!

I got you so good.

Are you streaming this?

Give it to me.

Whoa!

Slow down. Is that my phone?

Why were you screaming?

Ask him.

What'd you do?

I barely touched her foot and she freaked.

It was awesome.

- You're such a child. - What's that make you?

Two minutes older and light years more mature.

Why don't we go upstairs and finish unpacking your rooms?

This is hilarious.

(Zoey's screams interspersed with music)

You paid Wyatt five bucks to scare Zoey?

It was worth the money. Come look at this.

You keep tormenting your sister,

I'll be holding on to all your allowance.

It's not like there's anything else to do.

You know, when I was your age,

I practically lived in the woods out back.

We'd explore,

play games,

breathe fresh air.

I couldn't wait to stay here every summer.

At least one of us had a happy childhood.

Griff.

It's only been a few days.

Give it a chance?

Sulphur Springs may surprise you.

*SECRETS OF SULPHUR SPRINGS* Season 01 Episode 01

Episode Title: "Once Upon A Time" Aired on: January 15, 2021

Gonna be late on your first day.

Could just skip it all together.

For a marathon guitar session?

Hmm, I don't think so.

This is how all the greats start,

in their room, perfecting their act.

Seriously.

I read it in a book.

Okay, well, a school book would be nice.

See, those are the kind of books I'd be reading at Ballard,

but Dad killed that dream.

There are other music programs,

and we'll find one just as good.

Around here?

I doubt it. This place sucks.

Language!

Fine! Stinks. Happy?

How can I be happy

when you're determined to be miserable?

Don't you miss Chicago?

Of course. I'd move back in a second.

Great. Let's go.

Won't take me long to repack.

It's not that simple.

And, hey, this place isn't completely awful.

If we hadn't moved here,

I never would've found this.

A picture of some random kid?

Turn it over.

- That's Dad? - (Griffin's mother chuckles)

Can't you tell by the goofy grin?

It's been a long time since I've seen him smile.

Could say the same about you.

I'm hoping that'll change when you make some friends.

You nervous?

Never been the new kid before.

Just be yourself.

That kid's pretty great.

Works every time.

I would like to welcome a new student.

Griffin, why don't you stand up and tell us

a little something about yourself?

Um, hi. My name is Griffin Campbell,

and my family just moved here from Chicago.

Any hobbies?

Sports? Video games?

I'm mostly into music.

Classic rock. Blues.

- Lame. - (students laugh)

What was that, Quinn?

She‐‐ She was wondering why Griffin came to Sulphur Springs.

Well, my dad quit his job,

and bought an old hotel.

Now I'm stuck here while my parents fix up The Tremont.

You moved into The Tremont?

Have you seen Savannah?

I heard if you look her in the eye,

you'll never be seen again.

That's just a silly rumor. Ghosts aren't real.

Yes, they are. We saw a ghost in The Tremont last night.

I saw a ghost.

Quinn: She let out this crazy scream.

It's true. The Tremont is definitely haunted.

Class. That's enough.

Girl: Want to sit down?

It's not complicated. There's room.

People see those drawings,

they're gonna figure it out.

Figure what out?

Your secret identity.

Locker ninja.

I caught a glimpse of your shoes

when you were kicking past my head.

The art's the same.

Shoe design could be my side hustle.

Doesn't mean I'm a superhero.

I'm good with faces.

Still don't know your name, though.

- Harper. - I'm Griffin.

Thanks for the assist earlier.

Thank the janitor. He showed me that move.

Said it was the best‐kept secret in Sulphur Springs.

: Wow! Just when I thought this place was boring.

Uh, why is everyone staring?

Do you have a not‐so‐secret identity I should know about?

Some kids thought they saw a ghost at The Tremont.

People found out that I live there‐‐

: You live at The Tremont?

Okay.

I haven't seen Savannah.

I don't even know who she is

or‐or was.

- This is Savannah Dillon. - Griffin: Okay.

She disappeared from The Tremont 30 years ago.

Never to be seen again.

Alive anyway.

Spoiler alert.

The girl those kids saw last night wasn't a ghost.

It was my sister.

Plenty of other people have seen Savannah around the hotel.

It's only a matter of time before you do too.

Ooo‐ooo.

Can't say I didn't warn you.

Savannah?

So, you do believe in ghosts.

Uh... Oh.

I‐‐ I was just messing with you.

You need help up? Looks like you fell pretty hard.

- I'm fine. - If you say so.

See you at school.

- Where are you going? - Shortcut.

I live on the other side of the woods.

You're not worried about getting grabbed by a ghost?

Are you kidding?

How cool would it be to actually run into Savannah?

But she's only been seen inside the hotel.

And you never even tried getting in?

Once. I cut my knee pretty bad crawling through a window.

My mom's still ticked about it.

If you want, I could give you a tour.

We'll have a séance!

- A séance? - Uh‐huh.

We'll need lots of candles. Pink. Way more inviting.

And salt, incense, rocks...

Well, technically, smooth stones,

but I'll work with what I can get.

: Is that all?

Well, an open mind would help.

So... this is where some of your best memories were made?

The bunkhouse actually.

Campers weren't allowed in the hotel

unless parents were visiting.

Didn't want us bothering the fancy clientèle.

Fancy? This place?

The Tremont used to be a world‐class resort.

People would come from all over to soak in the hot springs.

You could hardly get a reservation.

If the hotel was so great,

how come it closed?

Well, the springs started to dry up,

along with business.

That's not what I heard.

The rumor is... people stopped coming

because The Tremont is haunted.

What did I tell you about scaring your brother and sister?
