Investigation 13

Ernie, say something!

God damn it, it's low.

Keep filming.

Keep rolling till it fucking dies.

The police need to see everything.

Nate?

Oh, my God.

Shit.

What the fuck happened to you?

Ernie.

We need to help Ernie.

Jerod, let's go.

He's not moving.

Fuck, guys.

Ernie?

Can you do this?

Let's go, let's go.

Come on, come on.

Oh, shit.

Oh shit, oh shit!

I don't know anything.

I don't wanna talk to you.

Good morning, ladies and gentleman.

The footage you're about to see

was found somewhere in the Everglades.

It appears to be the Black Grove Psychiatric Asylum.

If after the screening you have any questions,

I'll be in my office.

Your assignment's on the wall outside.

Mel, can I see you?

- Look Professor I'm... - I think this

is what you were waiting for.

Thank you, Professor.

What the fuck?

What is that?

Oh, you've got to be fucking kidding me.

This footage was taken six years ago

by viral video blogger Brian Resner.

It instantly catapulted him to phenom status.

Sadly, this was the last video he'd ever make.

What authorities searched

for possible clues they found nothing on...

Guys, we got it.

We fucking got it.

- No way, dude. - Fuck yeah!

We got one night.

All right, guys.

Let's get movin'.

Everything okay?

- Yeah. - Good.

All right everybody.

This here is our golden ticket.

This is the date in which we're gonna be presenting our

findings to the committee at the university.

And, cement our names in history.

We're gonna change science forever.

Now, just for the sake of record keeping,

let's backtrack a bit and fill everyone in

on what we've been trying to do here.

There are so many bloggers and wannabes that are trying

to prove that ghosts exist, but they have no legitimate

scientific evidence to backup any of their claims.

I mean, have you ever looked

at the footage and asked yourself, is this real?

And if it is, is it even possible?

My uncle used to always say to me,

the proof is in the pudding, Mel.

Well you know what?

This group knows their shit when it comes to science.

So we have done previous investigations,

but for now let's just call it Investigation 13.

We can in fact scientifically prove that spirits actually

exist and we can even explain how this happens.

But I'm not gonna go into detail

until we present everything to the school board.

Which is to start the very first parapsychology course ever.

I mean, this could literally revolutionize

the way we view ourselves and those on the other side.

Now, this is all with the basic intention of answering

the few questions like why are they here?

Where do they go?

And even, what do they want?

I mean, our bodies can literally be nothing but vessels.

Do you have any idea what that means?

Yeah, we might be able to figure out how to transfer

our souls or spirits or what have you,

and experience the entire universe at the speed of light.

It's literally life after death.

Now, it goes without saying

that this is the very first step.

I mean, we have a lot of research to do.

But this can very much inspire the youth of today

and tomorrow to do something big.

This can change our entire world.

And we are pioneers of that change.

So anyway, let's not be camera hogs here.

This isn't about Jerod and I,

even if Jerod would like it to be all about him.

Hey.

Over on the west side of the room,

compiling our footage is Terry.

And behind the camera is...

What are you doing?

Good ole' Nate.

Come on, Mel, you know I'm camera shy.

Oh, relax.

Ba ba booey.

Yes, sounds great.

We'll see you on Saturday.

Thank you so much.

Guys, we're in.

Stay away from me.

I mean it.

Time for lunch.

What?

I know what you did.

Leave me be, mister.

You're the kid who mommy and daddy.

And I thought I was nuts.

I'm not crazy.

Nah, of course not.

None of us are.

Stop it.

Stop laughing.

Silence.

Take him to the infirmary.

As for you, you're coming with me.

Let go of me.

Let go!

What is that?

What are you gonna do to me?

Settle down now, Mr. Craven.

I'm just going to perform a procedure

to help you calm down a bit.

Three, two, one.

Three, two, one.

Third time's a charm, Mr. Craven.

Three, two, one.

Why are the lights off in here?

He likes the dark.

He's like a mole.

I want the bulbs replaced in here at once.

Yes, ma'am.

You poor thing.

I'm not going to hurt you.

That's not a good idea, ma'am.

He's not some animal.

Get him washed up.

How are you feeling, Mr. Craven?

Give us some privacy.

Ma'am, I strongly advise against it.

I'll be fine.

You can stay right outside the doors.

Seems like it's just you and me.

You like it?

It's a dream catcher; Filters out all the bad dreams.

I love the Native American culture.

How about you?

No worries, after what the previous administration

put you through, I wouldn't blame you for not trusting me.

Now that I'm in charge,

we're going to do things differently around here.

I don't know, after reviewing his past behavior,

I don't think it's wise to let him have this much exposure.

He can't be rehabilitated

if he's kept in that dark cage 24/7.

That cage is a reminder

of who the crazy ones are.

Don't forget it.

And it doesn't take much

for us to be in there with them.

I haven't seen it happen just after sunset.

My friend got scalped.

Scalped, scalped, he didn't have a single pound left,

scalped, scalped, he didn't know stop,

scalped, scalped, scalped, scalped,

scalped, scalped, scalped, scalped,

scalped, scalped, scalped, scalped.

We're finally awake, Mr. Craven.

Please, please no shock.

I'm not going to shock you, sweetie.

That treatment is barbaric.

It's ineffective.

What are you going to do to me, then?

Are you familiar with the ways of the shaman?

They're known as healers, able to communicate with

the spirit realm and other dimensions.

I've traveled the world and learned of their ways,

and I'm here to free you.

From what?

The evil that is deep inside you.

I know you're not evil, Leonard.

You want me to help you, Leonard?

Very well, let's begin.

Start shooting as soon as we get out.

Film everything.

Investigation 13 takes place here,

at the legendary Black Grove Psychiatric Asylum.

We're about to meet the building's owner,

Miss Layla Parrish.
