Paranormal Investigation

INVESTIGATION NO. 9

EXT. OFFICE

OFFICE

Guys, put your fingers here.

- Hey, bunny! - We've summoned the bunny!

The bunny can watch, but she can't play.

- Fingers on the board. - What?

- Ciao! - Thank you.

Fingers here.

- That's his excuse not to play. - He just doesn't want to.

We said you'd take the lead, Dylan,

so you ask the questions.

- OK. - Go ahead.

- Ask a question. - It's not gonna work anyway.

Go on. Ask a question.

All right. Spirit, do you...

I don't know. I have no idea.

Does it smoke? Does it drink?

You have to ask yes or no questions.

You said that already.

You could ask if the spirit is a man or a woman.

- OK. - If it wants to communicate...

- Let me focus, jackass! - You're so cute!

- Come on! Let's get started! - Hang on. OK.

Spirit, are you a man...

- Are you a man? If so... - That's right!

If so, guide us to the "yes."

- OK, thanks. - Wait! It's not instant.

Ask again, but be confident. You have to feel it.

- Spirit... - I can feel it!

- It's moving. - Did it move?

- You guys are idiots. - No!

I felt...

- No, that's my hand! - Exactly!

You're crazy!

- You have to believe. - Yeah, it won't work otherwise.

And the spirit will think you're messing with it and get mad!

- It'll get mad? - Don't look at me that way!

I've been a believer ever since you got here. Go ahead.

OK.

Are you guys done screwing around? Seriously.

So, that means the spirit is a man, right?

- Why? What was your question? - It's a man.

- You asked if he was a man? - Yes.

What did you say?

"If you're a man, guide us to the 'yes'."

- You didn't move it? - No!

Stop it, Dylan! You moved it!

How could I have moved it alone? Your fingers are on it too!

I don't know!

So, it moved to the "yes"?

Should we ask another question?

- Go for it. - Spirit...

Ask when he was born.

Spirit, in what year were you born?

Talk normally! He'll think you're making fun of him!

Can we just take this seriously?

- Catalin, tell him to knock it off! - Dylan, knock it off.

I'm a little scared!

- "Spirit..." - Don't talk like that.

- Spirit, what year were you born? - Yeah, what year?

You guys aren't funny!

- The table moved. - What's moving?

Seriously, guys! You're such idiots!

One, nine...

- He's getting older and older! - Dylan's moving it, right?

190. Before or after Christ?

- No, next question! - You're gonna confuse him!

He's talking.

If you don't respect him, he'll get mad!

- Respect him? - Who?

1904.

- The spirit. - What spirit?

- He was born in 1904. - Is that true?

He must be dead by now.

Well, 1904...

Wait, of course he's dead! He's a spirit.

Cut it out!

Maybe he's from the nursing home nearby.

Imagine if he became a spirit before he died!

Don't be silly!

OK, wait! Spirit, how did you die?

- How should I phrase that? - I don't think you can ask that.

Did you die... Hang on.

Did you die...

- Of a fever? - Of old age?

No, this is serious! Were you murdered?

You're all OK with that question? Spirit, were you murdered?

You're not supposed to ask that kind of question.

- Why not? - Come on, guys!

- All right, Dylan! - Stop messing around.

- Dylan, stop! - What are you doing?

- Dylan! Calm down! - Stop it, Dylan!

Seriously, Dylan, look at me!

Catalin, get over here! I can't hold him!

Look at me, Dylan!

Many of you have reacted to this video I posted.

Since then, this young man has been behaving strangely.

Who is Dylan?

Is he a victim of himself or of a spirit?

Some people think it was staged. Not me.

Possession isn't necessarily the devil's work.

It is a means of communication between our world and the afterlife.

The investigation I led in that house

was unlike any I had done before.

What is the line between madness and possession?

I'm still asking myself that question.

Some doors should never be opened.

- Hello, Catalin! - Hello, Andrei!

Thank you for sending me the video.

Thank you for watching it.

Tell me what happened to Dylan after his episode.

He was...

He was acting really strange.

It was like...

he wasn't all there.

He barely answered our questions. He wasn't making sense.

Catalin, there's something I don't understand.

Why did you keep filming your friend during his episode?

Why didn't you help him or call an ambulance?

You see your friend in that state, and you keep filming?

That night was...

We were having fun. We'd been drinking.

So at first, I thought he was messing with us.

So I didn't even think to stop filming and help him.

He's completely different now.

I don't recognize him anymore.

- Were his parents home? - No.

And you didn't think to call them?

Or a doctor? Or the fire department, even?

I don't know. It was late. We'd been drinking.

We thought it could be a bad reaction to something.

He seemed well enough to sleep on his own,

so we didn't call an ambulance.

Have you seen him since that night?

Yes, two or three times.

It didn't go well because he was...

he was acting strangely.

When we saw each other, he was a bit aggressive.

He didn't want to talk. He didn't want company.

Those visits were all pretty short.

In your opinion, Antoine...

can we conclude that your friend has been possessed?

I don't think he's possessed.

I don't recognize him anymore, but I just think that he's changed.

Maybe it's because of school

or his parents or his relationships.

I don't know.

Do you believe in the supernatural?

No, not really.

You brought the Ouija board?

Yes, I brought the board that night.

It was my idea.

And have you seen Dylan since?

Yes.

I went into his room, and...

I went to give him a hug, like I usually do.

But then he grabbed me like this and tightened his grip.

It's hard to see him like this.

I don't recognize him.

There were four of us in our little group.

And now we're missing someone.

In your opinion, Effie, could this be a case of possession?

I don't know.

I'd say yes.

Because I can't explain Dylan's behaviour.

- OK, thank you. - Thanks.

All right, I'm...

I'm almost at his parents' house.

- Hello, sir! - Hello, Andrei!

Mr. Duval, are you still OK with being filmed?

Yes, you can film me.

All I ask is that you not film the outside of the house, please.

No problem. I understand.

- Good. Come in. - Thank you.

This is my wife.

- Hello, ma'am. - Hello.

I'm Andrei. Nice to meet you.

Just one moment please.

There.

First off, Mr. and Mrs. Duval, thank you for having me.

Catalin showed us your videos and...

- My investigations? - Yes, exactly.

And we saw the way you help people.

If you can help us, that'd be great.

We want Dylan's abnormal behaviour to stop.

This change in behaviour happened after the night with the Ouija?

Yes.

Absolutely. We're very worried.

- Very, very worried! - He's completely different.

In what way?

He walks around at night. Every night, all over the house.

He even pushed his father!

He goes up and down the stairs.

He's completely different!

In the middle of the night,

starting at 3:00 a.m., he wanders all over the place!

Could he be on drugs?

No. We tell each other everything in this house.

I'm here to help and to find answers.
