Paranormal Entity

This is my wonderful family.

My wonderful mom Ellen.

Mom, say hi to the camera. Hi.

Smile. Look at her. And my beautiful sister Samantha.

Samantha, smile at the camera.

Smile. Look at her. Isn't she pretty?

You being sarcastic? Gor... Hey, did you guys, uh...

Did you guys coordinate... color coordinate tonight?

I must've missed the memo. Yes, we did, as a matter of fact.

You did miss the memo. We left you out 'cause we hate you.

Mom, he's being weird.

Is this to get out of helping us with cleaning up, Thomas? Uh, no.

Put the camera down and help us clean up. Of course not.

Mom, thank you for dinner. You're very welcome.

It was a wonderful dinner.

Um, Thomas, I just... I wanna ask you...

I understand... I know Dr. Marr wants us to do this whole thing.

But how come we have cameras just in our rooms and not in your room?

Because you guys don't wanna see what's going on in my room.

Does anybody care to say anything,

um, about our little experiment here?

About how you're gonna capitalize on the fact that...

I'm not capitalizing on anything.

Mr. Psychic Dude told us to document everything,

so what better way to do that than with a video camera?

I think he meant, like, write it down. I don't write good.

We are rolling.

Testing, testing, one, two, three.

Coming into focus.

And there we are.

Thomas Finley. This is my bedroom.

This is where I sleep.

Today is the maid's day off.

So we go down the hallway here,

into the living room.

We have a camera in the corner.

Again, it'll be on night vision, filming.

Eight-hour battery pack to film all night long

so we can capture

whatever happens in this room.

This is Samantha's room.

We have a camera on the tripod

recording and night vision.

It has an eight-hour battery pack

to film whatever is or is not happening.

And then, if we cross the hall...

Sorry. Thomas!

Shit.

Um, and then in Mom's room, we have a camera in the corner.

Mom?

Mom?

Is that Dad's?

Hi. You've reached the Finleys.

We can't take your call right now,

but if you leave a message, we'll get back to you.

Thank you.

Good morning.

Somebody looks wonderful this morning.

Nice.

What are we making here for breakfast?

I'm having oatmeal. What are you making me?

I'm not making you anything.

I'm making myself oatmeal.

Looks like vomit.

Yeah, well, make yourself something.

I see somebody's in a good mood this morning.

Uh-huh. Especially when you call my food vomit.

That makes me really happy.

Makes me great.

Dude, don't you have, like, a job or something you can go to?

Today I'm officially unemployed.

Oh, that's shocking. Really shocking.

See, this is my surprised face.

Oh, that's good.Yeah. You getting this?

This is how surprised I am you're unemployed.

I think you're gonna get an award for this.

Yeah. You're a loser.

So, um,

any visits from Dad last night?

That's not funny.

Leave your sister alone, Tommy, okay?

Just stop.

What about you, Mom?

Anything happen last night?

You want some coffee, Sam?

Huh? No.

Mom?

Yes, Tommy? Did something happen?

I don't wanna talk about it. I think we should talk about it.

I think it's important to discuss what's going on in this house.

Turn the camera off. And why it's happening.

Turn the camera off. I think the fact that you thought

you were talking to Dad is... Turn the goddamn camera off!

About a year ago, my husband David

was tragically killed in a car accident.

And I miss him a lot.

A day doesn't go by that I don't think about him, you know?

So, a couple of months ago,

I just... I just started talking to him, you know?

I just... just started to talk,

pretending that he could talk back to me, you know?

And then, one day...

We were at this really kind of weird, wacky store.

There was just, uh, this lady there,

and she was saying to us

that you can actually... you can talk to the dead

by writing to them.

And so, I was, like, "All right."

So I went home and I... I just...

I pulled out a pen and a pad of paper,

and I just started writing one night.

I just wrote and just...

I wrote, and...

I just felt like something was with me.

You know, something was taking over me.

And I just... I... I just...

I felt like I was really talking to David.

Like he was really talking back to me, you know?

I mean, with every... with every...

stroke of the pen, it was like

he was there with me.

And so, every night, I would go into my bedroom

and I would write to him, and he would write back to me.

I really thought that I was talking to David.

But then, these just...

Then, just kind of, like...

Then weird things started happening, and...

I don't know. Just, like, really, um...

I don't know. Bad stuff.

Bad stuff happening... happening to Samantha.

Really bad stuff.

And I just...

No, that is not David, okay?

David would... would not...

Would not do this stuff.

Who do you think it is?

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know what the hell this thing is.

But whatever it is, it is not your father.

What was that?

It's all over the floor. Oh, shit!

Came right out of there.

Jesus Christ.

And camera is... on.

You okay?

Mm-hmm.

I'm next door.

Thomas!

What?

I found it on the floor.

Give it to me.

All I'm saying to Sam is that it's possible

the cross fell off the wall.

And into the corner?

Things don't fall off walls and hit the ground and move into the corner?

No, they don't, like, fly diagonally. They don't...

Who says it flew diagonally? Square things don't roll.

I didn't say it rolled, but who said

it flew diagonally off the wall?

It was several feet away.

So? You could've kicked it.

What if she didn't? If it fell on my feet?

What if she didn't kick it? All I'm saying is

just 'cause the cross fell off a wall,

that doesn't mean the ghost did it.

That's all I'm saying. I don't like the fact that you're implying

that your sister is lying. I'm not implying she's lying.

You are. I didn't say she was lying at all.

Well, these things could be happening.

The cross falling off the wall

doesn't mean the ghost knocked it off.

No, you're right. Every time something falls off a wall

doesn't mean that a ghost did it. You're right.

It doesn't. I am right, Sam.

Yeah, you're totally right. It doesn't.

I'm not saying there's nothing going on here, Mom.

I'm just saying that the cross doesn't mean that.

All he's saying is that it makes a good scene

for his fucking movie that's gonna make him famous.

Shut the fuck up. Seriously, I'm getting a little tired...

All right, you guys. I don't give a shit

what you're tired of. Stop all this swearing, okay?

Then shut the fuck up... Stop. I want you to stop this.

Stop it.

Christ.

Hello?

Did he leave that fucking camera on?

Um, yeah.

He actually doesn't live here anymore.

No.

No, that's okay.

Bye.

Nice. Nice, dude.

You're a fucking jackass.

Mom?

Mom!

Hello.

Hello?

Hello!
