IN ADDITION TO MY WORK AS A WRITER AND ACTOR,

I HAVE PURSUED AN INTEREST IN THE SUPERNATURAL AND PARANORMAL.

IT WAS ABOUT 4 FEET TALL.

KIND OF WEIRD LOOKING, LIKE IT WAS DEAD OR SOMETHING.

Donner: WHAT MADE YOU THINK IT WAS AN ALIEN?

WHATEVER IT WAS, IT TALKED TO ME.

ITS MOUTH DIDN'T MOVE; IT REALLY DIDN'T MOVE.

BUT IT TALKED TO ME IN MY HEAD.

WHAT DID IT SAY?

TO STAY AWAY FROM THE THURSTON BUILDING OR IT WOULD KILL ME.

Donner: DID IT TELL YOU WHY?

NO.

BUT IT PARALYZED ME.

I COULDN'T MOVE.

IT DID THAT TO ME.

THEY'RE A VERY ODD BUNCH; I KNOW.

LIKE MY LIFE IS IN DANGER.

LIKE I CAN'T TRUST ANYONE.

THAT'S THE THING.

I'M NOT SURE.

OKAY.

TELL ME ABOUT YOUR MOST RECENT DREAM.

ALL RIGHT.

I'M IN A WAREHOUSE.

IS THAT THE THURSTON WAREHOUSE?

I THINK SO.

LINDSAY, PETER AND CLAIRE ARE THERE, TOO.

THERE'S THIS BODY ON A TABLE.

A LITTLE BODY.

LIKE A CHILD.

BUT IT'S SOME SORT OF ALIEN CREATURE.

FOR A MOMENT,

I COULD SEE MYSELF ON THE TABLE, AS IF I WAS THE ALIEN.

IS THAT HOW YOU FEEL?

LIKE AN ALIEN?

SOMETIMES.

WHAT WAS YOUR REACTION

TO THIS ALIEN?

HORROR FIRST.

FEAR.

COMPASSION.

TOWARDS THE ALIEN?

YES.

CLAIRE WAS ABOUT TO PERFORM AN AUTOPSY.

I COULD SEE THE SCALPEL,

BUT

I COULDN'T STOP HER.

I COULDN'T MOVE, I COULDN'T BREATHE.

I WAS SURE IT WAS STILL ALIVE.

CLAIRE CUT INTO THE LITTLE BODY WITH THE SCALPEL.

HOW DID YOU FEEL?

POWERLESS, RESPONSIBLE.

HOW COULD WE BE SO COLD AND CUT IT APART LIKE THAT?

WHAT COULD WE LEARN BY KILLING IT?

THEN THIS SPRAY CAME OUT OF THE ALIEN'S BODY

AND IT GOT PETER.

IT KILLED HIM.

AND I KNEW IT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN.

ANTON, HI.

PETER, LINDSAY.

IS THIS A PRIVATE CONVERSATION?

NO; I WAS JUST CALLING TO SAY

THE THURSTON FAMILY LAWYERS HAVE AGREED

TO LET US CONDUCT OUR INVESTIGATION IN THE BUILDING.

WHAT MADE THEM CHANGE THEIR MIND?

THEY NEEDED MORE DETAILS, INFORMATION ON THE ORGANIZATION.

DO YOU THINK THEY'RE HIDING SOMEBODY IN THERE?
