It feels like a dream.

It feels like a nightmare.

I feel like I'm in a nightmare.

It...

I'm fucking panicking.
I'm panicking.

- I'm panicking.
- Mate?

- I'm really panicking.
- Barry, just stop.

Just stop for a second, mate.

Just stop. Stop where
you are for a second.

I'm really fucking scared, man.

I'm really fucking scared.

- It's alright.
- I've got to stop.

Sorry, I've got to stop.

I'm really, really scared.

It's all right.
Hold it together.

Sorry.

Can I just get out?

Sorry, can someone just
get me out of here, please?

Oh, God.
I'm gonna be fine.

Fuck!

Fucking hell!

Fuck!

- Barry?
- Yeah?

Are you up or down?

- Down.
- Okay.

Just got to ask ya.

Go straight.

Are you cool with
me carrying on filming,

or do you want us to cut?

I'm fine. I'm fine.

Ideally we wanna carry on,

- but I don't want to...
- I'm carrying on.

Think I'm just having
a panic attack.

- That's all right.
- I'm just panicking.

- I was panicking too much.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.

- Mind that step behind you.
- Camera two?

It's okay, ignore them.
Just totally ignore them.

Sorry. Sorry.

No, no, no.
It's fine, it's fine.

That dark...

is the most frightening thing

I've ever seen
in my entire life.

Hello, and welcome
to the ParaPod podcast

where we argue
about the existence

of ghosts and ghouls.

Sceptic versus believer.

I'm Ian Boldsworth,

I'm the sceptic side
of the argument,

or the correct side
of the argument.

And I'm Barry Dodds.

Which is the other side.

So, we're just
back from a road trip...

- We are.
- ...where you've been taking me

to all the haunted places...

Yep.

...in an attempt to convince me
of the existence of ghosts.

Barry Dodds did that.

Barry Dodds
who believes anything

without question.

- Not anything.
- Ghosts?

Goblins?

Dracula?

- I don't believe in Dracula.
- Bet you do.

- I don't.
- I bet you do.

Do you not believe in anything?

- Anything?
- Anything.

Anything at all?

No, paranormal. Ghosts.

I see. No.

Well, why not?

Because there's not a shred
of evidence for it.

- No, there's loads.
- Of bollocks, online.

- I know that.
- Not just online.

- Real places.
- It's all nonsense, mate.

Only a gullible idiot
would believe it.

Mentioning no names.

Well, people can make
their own minds up, I think.

I mean,
you know what happened, so...

I do, yeah. But let's not
get ahead of ourselves.

I think, at this junction,
we should credit me

with bringing a third wheel
into this organization,

or a fantastic four wheels.

Never forget the car's the star.

I wanted to go
to a proper dealership

and get a proper car
that looks smart and impressive

and spend a bit of money on it,

and he said that he's gonna be
taking care of it.

But we'll see.
As long as it's comfy,

as long as it's got wheels
and moves.

And isn't on fire.
And is legal on the road.

Even then, I'm not 100% sure
that I should trust...

Hello, mate.

The fuck is this?

That is brilliant.

- That is brilliant.
- I know people around here.

And not like Scarface,
but, I mean...

- And what will they say?
- I've got family here.

- But I'm...
- Excuse me?

What do you think of that?

Is that brilliant, or not?

Yes.

Okay. Are you from here?

No, Sheffield.

All right,
you don't count. Thank you.

We're not just pissing off
the locals,

we're pissing off
the fucking tourists.

It's great!

I wanted to scope me mum's
before we went on.

Let's go to your mum's.

- Let's go to mum's.
- Let's not go to me mum's.

What's in the back? Is there...

- See that?
- Yeah.

You're not insured on it.

Can I not get insured on this?

Don't get angry.

You can't get angry about this.

'Cause it was a joke,
I told them it was a joke,

I made it very clear
it was a joke,

but the problem was...

I could... I told them
that you had a criminal record.

Oh, no, no, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no.

No, but I told
you got a criminal record.

Why?

- I'll have one.
- For a joke.

I'll have one in an hour.
Brilliant.

Because you're not insured,

we need you driving it...

It'll work.

And you definitely
can't see this?

It just looks
like you're driving.

Driving what?

Drive.

Just drive.

That just looks
like you're driving.

Looks like you're driving
a normal car,

and afterwards,
I'm gonna reverse the shot

so it looks
like you're in this seat.

One more practice.

Signal.

Mirror.

What?

Mirror's in the middle, mate.

That's it. There we go.

Oh, what, have I failed
my test in toy town?

All I wanna do right now,
to be honest,

is move it.
Is get away from here,

get away
from where people know me,

get away
from where me family live,

and just get on with it.

Fuck!

It's become
more and more respectable

within mainstream
academic careers

for people to investigate
this phenomenon.

Because whether ghosts
exist or not,

the phenomenon
of people believing in ghosts

certainly exists,
and that means something.

Okay, so first challenge.

Well, hang on.
Well, this is the thing.

Why's there a challenge
from the start?

It was letting you
state your case...

- Hmm?
- ...without me arguing with it.

So, I arranged for you

to address
a sceptics conference,

so I replaced me,
a hardened sceptic,

with every other sceptic
in the country.

- Well, how's that fair?
- But not me.

I'm still there,
but I was more benign.

Yeah. And they'd all
just sat through

a rather touching speech
from a well-respected sceptic

and I shuffle on.

It's interesting,
you never hear the words

"well-respected believer"
in ghosts, do you not?

The beauty of this was

they didn't know
you were coming.

Exactly.

So, you're upsetting
the playing field

from the word "go."

You just had to wander on.

Yeah.

Oh, my God!

Am I just gonna walk on
and do it?

I can't have any,
"Ladies and gentlemen,

welcome to the stage..."

No!

'Cause you don't want them
to leave.

I genuinely don't wanna do it.

It's a ton of people
who disagree with me

on every level.

- But that's your life every day.
- And I'm about to go..

Yeah, but I'm about to go
bloody preaching

at their conference!

This is their thing. I'm the...

bloody fly in the butter,
whatever it is.

How about then you go on there
and just apologize to them?

- Just say, "I'm sorry."
- I can do that.

I'm sorry that
people believe in ghosts,

- we're all stupid.
- Right. No.

If you've genuinely
got the courage

of your convictions, as you say,
when it's me and you talking,

you've got
the courage convictions

and you believe in that,
you passionately believe it,

and you say that I'm wrong
and all that,

you should have no fear at all
of going out there.

And just say that to them.
They're all me. That's me!

That room is me.

Do you know
how horrible that is?

I think you'll be all right.

I'm panicking.

Take a breath.

Deep breath. Hold it.

Hold it forever.

I'm in a genuine weird situation

because I sorta
want him to do it.

I sorta want him to do well.

Hello. Good afternoon,
ladies and gentlemen.

If I could just have
your attention please,

I promise I won't take up
very much of your time.

My name's Barry Dodds.

I was brought up
from a young age,

like, I used to go and spend
time with my relatives

in the northeast of England.

And I used to get told
ghost stories

when I was sorta, like,
seven, eight year old.

And I used to love them.

I'll be honest with you,
I've never seen a ghost.

Now, skepticism has done a lot
for the paranormal community.

You've made... You know,

there's certain things
I don't believe in,

like psychics and mediums
and things like that,

but I also think
there's been times

when too much
has been dismissed.

Like, for example,
there's a house in Pontefract,

in West Yorkshire,
which is now famous for housing

the Black Monk of Pontefract,
you know.

But part of me
would like to believe

that there's something
that science doesn't know yet.

You know what I mean?

For example, there's been
an iceberg snapped off recently

in Antarctica,

and for 120,000 years

we've no idea
what's underneath there.

Who knows what's under there,
you know.

There could be some creatures
we don't know,

there could be some sort of DNA
we don't know,

there could even be some sort
of alien life,

the beginning of mankind.

I mean, the reality is
it's probably just fish.

Now, the world is full
of armchair sceptics.

Now, everyone's happy
just to sit back and go,

"There's no such thing
as ghosts. It's all rubbish."

"It's all nonsense.
It's all money-making.

It's in their mind
and their fantasies."

These people I don't find them
the sort of people

who've been in

and tried to do some sort
of scientific investigation

into what these things are.

I'd love somebody to go in,

like on a real scientific level
and find out, you know,

what's been going on, you know.

I got it rubbed in my face
quite a lot

when Brian Cox
came out not too long ago

and said, not came out,
but when he said

that when he said
the Large Hadron Collider,

means it's just
highly impossible,

or highly improbable,
that ghosts exist.

But you know, to me,
it was, like, hang on,

you haven't said definitely.

For me,
even that fraction of doubt

leaves something in my mind.
Thank you so much for your time.

Have a lovely weekend.
Thank you.

How do you think it went?

They hated me.

I don't think
they hated you, mate.

There was only
about 25 people in there.

Yeah, and some of them
fucked off.

I think you baffled them.

How?

Aliens under an iceberg, mate.

All right. I said that.
That was probably bollocks.

So why mention it at all?

This is the point.

I think there were
really important lessons

- to learn from that.
- Right.

One, stay on topic.

Hmm.

Two, back up with proof.

So research.

- Hmm?
- And three...

never ever...

talk.

- At all. Okay?
- Right.

- Okay.
- You'll be all right.

Where was the first place
we visited?

Right. Pluckley.
Welcome to Barry's taxi tour.

- Most haunted village...
- Yeah.

...in the UK.

- If not the world.
- Is it?

- Yep. Yep.
- Are you sure? Okay.

Yeah, Guinness Book
of World Records.

- What?
- It's in it.

- It's in it? Is it? Okay.
- Yeah. Yep.

- Definitely? You checked it?
- Definitely. Yep.

Checked it this year?

- That doesn't matter.
- Keep going. Yeah. Keep going.

So, what we're gonna do,
is I'm gonna take you round

- all the spots that we've got.
- Right.

- All the hotspots. Yeah.
- In your taxi?

- Okay.
- In the taxi.

And take you round
all the places...

Lots of stories,
lots of things to tell you.

Think you're already
too excited,

- but we'll do it.
- Can't wait.

So, have you got
your steering wheel ready?

- Yeah.
- You got your signs?

- I've got your signs.
- Excellent. Yeah.

- There you go. All in.
- Brilliant.

I'll do them.

- Happy? Give them a wave.
- Yeah.

Nice one. Seatbelt on?

Gotta hold on to that, mate.

It's in the driving test,
that, mate.

We are going to Mouton's Hill,

just on the outskirts
of Pluckley.

- Right.
- What happens here

is that people tend to hear
a coach coming along.

- So, on the road...
- Like...

...people tend to hear
other vehicles?

No, no, no,
but this is horse-drawn,

so they hear horses

- clopping along.
- Right.

And there's also
a headless horseman on top,

but I don't know
anything about him.

It's more about the horse.

What do you mean you don't know
anything about him?

What sort of ghost tour is this?

So, horses,
things that exist in real life,

coaches, things that exist
in real life...

- I wasn't that interested.
- The man with no head,

you've not bothered
looking into that?

On a normal tour,
wouldn't they be going, like,

so, I'll just give you
a little bit about history

- of Pluckley.
- Yeah, but...

Rather than just sitting
in sort of sinister silence.

No, no, no, no, no.
let's stop here,

see if we can hear the horses.

No! No show today. Nowhere.

So, let's take a trip now
to the brickworks.

Yep, there we go.

The driver is reading a map
and texting whilst driving.

Not texting!

Not even touching
the steering wheel.

A bit of an issue
finding the brickworks,

don't worry about it.

What happens at the brickworks?

There's a bloke
fell to his death.

You can hear his screams.

I think we turn right...

- Right.
- ...here.

Pluckley,
one and a quarter miles

to the left.
We're not even in Pluckley!

We're not even in Pluckley

for Barry's ghost taxi tour
of Pluckley!

- Forget about brickworks.
- We're going left!

It's not one of your hauntings.
Can't claim that, mate.

Stick within your postcode.

And that's what
I was talking about

- with research.
- Yeah, but you weren't helping.

I'm not meant to be helping.

But not even stopping the hearse
when I was telling you to.

Barry, the hearse is massive.

I can't stop the hearse
on single-track road

to look for, and I quote,
"the ghost of a gypsy."

Okay, forget that. Forget that.

- Forget what? All of it?
- Yeah, well...

Why did we do it?

Diversion.

Oh, it was deliberate?

- Tactical?
- Yes. Hmm.

I see. I apologize,

I didn't know
you'd done it on purpose. Why?

To get to Pluckley
for the main course.

Right. Which was?

Because he now wants me
to sleep all night

in a tent in the woods.

Barry!

Don't just walk off!

What use is it if you're
in a different postcode to me?

I'm just walking
at normal speed.

But if you notice
that I'm not there,

because I'm carrying that,

so swap over now.
You carry that, I'll carry this.

- Ready?
- Yep.

- Okay.
- Let's go!

That's the fastest
he's ever moved.

And you're confident you can
pitch a tent there, are you?

- Yeah.
- All right, on you go.

Whoa!

Did you hear that?

What did it sound like?

- That...
- God sighing?

Heard something walking
in there.

You do that. I'll go and check.

If it was something walking,
it's got longer legs than me.

It doesn't take much.

Whoa! Fucking leaf.

Oh, you fucking dick!

- I was possessed.
- Me own torch.

I know.

That's the headline.

I would be fine
in the wild, me.

Oh, yes!

Right, let's get it
in the woods.

There we go.
In the woods.

Right.
So, one of the things...

I've got
a bit of a secret weapon.

This. I'm over the moon with.

Really hard to get...

I would've never ever
have guessed that

when you were opening that coat.
What are we doing?

What's happening with this?

- This...
- Who's this little fella?

Boo bear.

Lady.

This...

Hello?

You fucking heard that.

Do you think

we are the only things alive
in these woods?

Well, yeah.

Please, stop looking

- over there.
- Okay, sorry. Right.

So this is like a second pair
of eyes for me, right?

This bear,
you know I walk around,

"Is there anyone there?
Make a noise. Throw something."

- All that? This does it for us.
- Yeah. Yeah.

But it reacts to temperature,
it reacts to EMF,

it reacts to movement,
it reacts to touch.

Got to give it
a little bit of time

just to adjust to the area.

And away she goes.

Hi, I'm Boo Buddy,
what's your name?

I'm Barry.

And if it's detecting
something's close,

like a spike in EMF,
its hands light up.

See, look? Lighting up.

So, we go to bed
or go off looking,

we leave it,

I leave a little
night vision camera on it,

and a Dictaphone, we leave it,

then we come back,
right, then we...

You don't believe
in this, do you?

- No. Then...
- Look me in the eyes.

You don't believe in this,
do you?

I've never used it.

Why you... It's Teddy Ruxpin,

why do you think
this is gonna help?

Can you touch my tummy?

I don't reckon
you know what you're doing.

I think you're making this up
as you go along.

Why are we
in these woods, Barry?

To find the screaming ghosts.

And what are they?

Ghosts that scream.

Could I be more simple?

No.

No, I actually don't think
you could, no.

His medication's
clearly kicked in.

- Hey! What are you doing?
- Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

What are you doing?

The fuck, man?

You're all over the place!

Fff...

What're you doing
down there?

Mate?

You've climbed all over me.

Where...

- Where's me torch?
- Up here where it was!

- Come on, come back up here.
- Shh! Shh!

- What?
- Man...

What?

Come right around.

Ow, man!

- Twatting about then.
- What's happening?

I'm not twatting about.

It was you!
You were all over the place.

Fucking shut it, man!

Goodnight, Barry.

Away, lads.

The snoring stopped
about 40 minutes ago.

I thought he was dead
at one point.

Okay. Three, two, one.

Action.

Mate. We're late.
Mate, Barry, we're late.

Barry! We're really late.
We gotta go. We gotta go.

We're late for the crew
down there. We gotta go now.

Come on. I'm sorry, man,
to wake you up quick.

Just get up quick.

- I'm sweating!
- Mate!

Man. We've gotta go. Now.

Right. Ok.

Get your bear.
I've packed up, already.

I'll get the bags.

- What are you doing?
- Whoa, man.

What are you doing?
What are you doing?

What are you doing?

What's up? You all right?

- Different.
- What?

Our crew's there.

We're fine.

I'm on check.

And sorry, we're
not an hour and a half late,

hour and a half early.
We're an hour and a half early.

We're ready.

Take your time, mate.

How have you turned the...

Got the rest of the film
to work it out.

I still
haven't got a clue.

That's a good soundbite
for the trailer.

Well, what are you doing
with the tent?

Isn't the question more
what you did with that bear?

I never touched the bear.

- You put it outside the tent.
- No.

You told me you were gonna
put a camera on it

and a recorder.

Well, the only camera
that was on that bear

was the one that I set up
before the crew left,

and I'm still yet to hear
any of this EMF recording

you've apparently made.

Here's a summation
of your ghost hunting

in them woods.

- You ready?
- Hmm.

You put a toy bear
outside the tent

and went to sleep.

That's your ghost hunting.

That's your scientific approach
for the day.

But that is nothing

compared to the madness
of the next day.

Right, we are setting off
to Edinburgh.

Let's go.

I can't drive from Pluckley
to Edinburgh in one day.

Well, yeah. With services
and that. We'll crack on.

Why?

I've managed to get us in

to a certain underground vault
that I know about.

There's a active witch's coven,
they are in one vault,

there's another vault, though,
that they had to leave

because there was
something bad in it.

Now, they've trapped whatever
was bad in there

in a stone circle

that you're not allowed
to step into,

because you'll get cursed
and bad things'll happen to you.

I'm gonna get the head witch
to come in

when you're stood
in the stone circle

and put a curse on you.

- Right...
- And my thing is,

is if you bollocks it
and say no,

then that's you admitting

that there might be something
in the supernatural

and bad luck in cursing.

Okay. What sort of witch is it?

Is it like an old crow
and green with long strag...

like, hair and...

- with a cauldron? What is it?
- No. Nothing like that.

There's no cauldrons
or anything like that.

- So, they're good witches?
- Yeah. Yeah! They're all right.

So... but you think a good witch
is gonna put a curse on someone?

I'll ask them.
I will give them a few quid.

You've not checked
any of it, mate,

and you're asking me
to drive to another country.

Yeah, but...
Road trip!

You're meant to be proving to me
the existence of ghosts.

How does that correlate,
what they're doing?

Putting the curse on me,
which I presume brings bad luck,

okay, so let's say they put
a curse on me tonight

and tomorrow I break my leg.

You'll let me go in,
what will you say then?

- Curse. Yeah.
- Right.

What's that
got to do with ghosts?

It ties in!

It's in the same
books, isn't it?

If you don't know,
say, "I don't know."

No, it's the same...

If you don't know,
say, "I don't know."

If you don't know,
say, "I don't know."

- I don't know.
- Right.

I'll tell you now.

If they're a good coven
of witches,

they will not put
a curse on someone

because some Jordie's turned up
with a fiver.

That won't happen.
Will it?

Me friend works in the vault,
so I'll speak to her

and ask her to have a word...

It'll be fine! It'll be fine!

Can't do these things
on the day!

Well, we can,
'cause we're about to.

You know, being faced with death

would certainly
be enough for somebody

to start rethinking

how they make sense
of the world.

It's entirely plausible

that somebody would go
from a sceptic

to believing in the paranormal.

Barry!

Stop running off!

By the second location,
you'd brought someone else in

to do it for you.

Yeah. 'Cause she's really clued
up on it all.

- I know. I liked her.
- Hmm.

Well, she's one of
the actual tour guides there,

so she knows all about it.

People do experience
things when they come here.

They have strange
paranormal experiences.

People hear strange noises
in here.

Sometimes,
you can hear things like...

Oh, come on!

- Yes! No.
- Come on. No, come on.

- Oh, oh, oh.
- No, come on. Stop it.

Someone grabbed my arse.

I shit you not.

Someone grabbed my arse.

Maybe let's start
with this one up here.

What the... Fuck off!

Is that the arse-grabber, again?

Yeah!

You!

I want distance
from every person and my arse.

Can you tell me
what is seen down here?

What ghosts in particular
do people report seeing?

There's a figure
called "The Watcher."

He appears at the back
of the corridor outside,

or when you're inside the vault,

sometimes people see
his silhouette in the door.

He is a really tall man

wearing a tricorn hat,
a frock coat,

a pair of heavy leather boots,

and in one hand
he carries a torch,

in the other, a set of keys.

And he doesn't interact much
with the visitors.

He just likes to watch

which is, I think,
way more creepy.

People report
this really uncanny,

really uneasy feeling
of being watched,

usually coming
from that direction

to the back of the corridor.

His job is to keep us out,
essentially.

He's guarding this place.

Right, get me
the fuck outta here, now!

- Let's go.
- Right.

Let's go. Let's go, if you must.

Okay, so what can you
tell us about this room?

Well, this vault was used
by a group of wiccans

back in the 1990s,
so that's quite a recent thing.

And they left very quickly,

because they felt
that they were not welcome here.

This was their attempt

at trapping the negative energy
in this vault,

and whatever it was,
they wanted to trap it,

so that's why they left
the stone circle here.

What would happen
if somebody stepped in there?

Feeling out of breath,

feeling dizzy, feeling faint,
feeling nauseous.

We had a child
projectile vomiting

in that circle a few weeks ago.

Sometimes
more intense things happen.

We had people
having panic attacks in there,

people fainting.

There was one epileptic fit,
one heart attack,

and one poor unfortunate man
losing control of his bowels.

So now we've seen
the disused vault,

can you show me
the working temple now?

Absolutely.

Well, will you come in there
with us?

I would not.
I would prefer to stay outside.

Mostly, because I feel like
it would be disrespectful

to their religion.

Oh, you like doing that.

You like doing that, don't you?

- Yeah. Come on.
- Okay.

So, here we are.

This is the source coven
of the Blue Dragon.

There's lots of things
hanging down from the ceiling.

One of the things
that I want to do

is I want to get in touch
with the witch who runs this.

The top brass.

Do you know the guy
I need to speak to, the witch?

I've never met him.

Sadly, he died three years ago.

- Barry?
- Yeah?

What was the reason
you brought me here?

For the witch.

How many miles have we driven?

A hundred.

What have
you just been told?

Eszter, is he definitely dead?

It's just
completely disrespectful.

Not just to me,
but to everything in here.

Right.

Going in a real witch's place...

- Yeah.
- I've got a nose...

- Yeah, stupid nose.
- I had a cat.

- Right.
- That's gone.

Oh, whose fault is it?

Yours!

No...

Why are you dressed as a witch?

All right. I didn't check.

- Okay. Fine.
- All right.

As long as we know
it's your fault.

Say it to the camera.

- Right. It's my fault.
- There we go. Okay.

So, I've got the candles,
I've got everything I need.

I've got me spell,

I've got some herbs,
I needed herbs.

So now
is when I'm gonna challenge you

to step inside the circle.

Right. Well, that's done.

Fine.

What's the next bit?

So now,
I'm gonna curse you.

Right. Okay.

Is this spell a real spell?

- This is a real spell.
- Okay.

Where'd you get it from?

- The internet.
- The internet. Great.

Great place. Okay.
You've got to believe it.

- Yeah.
- Okay.

- So, here we go.
- Hang on, hang on.

I do have a family.

I do have a family,
so if you can let them know

that I did this
of my own accord.

Any legal things in that? Okay.

I think I'm being really brave.

Herbs.

By Mars, the planet of anger,
bring forward the darkness.

Wrap yourself around this man
and bring forth the demons.

Like bees to honey, Ian,

you are now
part of the darkness.

That's good. That's good.
What are you doing?

I'll spin around
or something.

we'll put some CGI in it.

Do that, do that. I'll do it.

Maybe put fire on it.

I've got one more question.

Yeah?

What's that? Whose is that?

It's my torch.

Brilliant.

So, that's cursed as well?

Well, that's going in the bin.

That's not coming home now.

It's still yours, though.

So, there's something of me...

my earthly vessel,
majestic as it is.

And we've also got
something of yours.

That's cursed.

What are we doing?

So, this is something I'm going
to surprise you with.

This is top-of-the-range,
this is amazing.

Best ghost hunting stuff going.

It's called an Ovilus.

- It's the Ovilus 5.
- A what? Right.

So, this'll create a channel
for things to talk through.

It'll also give us
a reading of the EMF

in the room as well.

What's the science of that?

It'll, like, create...
It reads atmospheric conditions.

How does it work?

- What is it? How does it work?
- It reads the...

Don't keep telling me
what it does.

Tell me how it does it.

With the antennas.

- With the antennas?
- I don't know!

Right.

- Now, come on.
- So, why are you putting

trust in something you
don't know what it is?

I'm being open-minded
to something working.

Okay. Okay.

I wanna use my
ghost hunter equipment as well.

- Okay.
- Yeah. I'm gonna just use that.

- Right.
- Do you know what this is?

- It's a Vape.
- No! A spirit sucker.

Oh. Right.

Oh! Straight away, it's off.

What's it saying?

- "American."
- "American?"

Yeah. And "triangle."

Is it a password generator?

No.

Just throwing up a random word.

Have your password
done by a ghost, then.

- Say that to the camera.
- No.

Have your password
done by a ghost.

The Ovilus, whatever it is.

Where's the castle
and the American?

- Ember Castle's above us...
- Right.

Well, by some distance, as well.

It's not directly
above us, is it?

And there will be
an American tourist!

That is brilliant, mate.

There's no Americans
on our crew.

Be careful on these stairs.

Be careful on the stairs.

There could be a castle
or a triangle.

What is that?

Oh, it's a wall.

Yeah, it's a wall. Right?

We saw a wall!
We haven't seen a wall!

I'm jumpy.

You're hiding it very well.

Okay.

- What's this room?
- Here.

I don't know.
I've never been in here.

Fuck off, dickhead!

Doesn't even seem very fair,
does it really?

I'm trying to open it!

You're making
a mockery of this.

You said
you'd take this seriously.

Who...

is in...

I'll take it seriously.
I'll go into your places.

I'll look at
your haunted things.

...my dwelling?

I am getting...

Darry Bodds.

Darry...

Bodds.

A cursed...

Darry, is that you?

It's me, you little brother
that they never told you about.

You killed me on the swings!

And your family never told you!

I mean, our family.
I meant to say "our family."

It's been a long time,
I sometimes forget

that they're still
my family as well.

I think I have
a better time on my own.

See this glow?

When we start getting near,
that will glow.

Fuck! It's going now.

Is anyone near me?

Like you just were before,
just come close.

Try and come closer than that,
like you were before.

Like... No.
Something that I can't see.

Look at that
where it's stuck on two now.

- That's high.
- Yeah.

Right!

When you say, "Right..."

No, wait.
When you say, "right,"

it's like you're gonna...
what are you going to do?

Right! I'm what?

It's completely involuntary.
It's like a tick.

Okay, okay, it's fine.

Right, so it's going up.

It's stopped.

Right!

What's it recording now?

- That's recording EMF.
- So what sets it off?

What would set it off
in the real world?

- In the real world?
- Yeah.

An electric
current, frequency.

- Okay.
- Like, if I held it

to the battery on the camera,

you see it's lighting up more.

So, give me that camera

so we make sure it's not that.

That... Ooh, shitting hell!
Right. Okay.

It's stopped doing it. It was
going absolutely mad before.

What! Oh, there! There we go!
There. Right. Okay.

Right in front of me.

It's stopped.

It's stopped. It's moved.
It's gone. It was there.

It was in the air
right in front of me.

Okay, so it's this side
of the vault

that's more active.

All right. Well, can you stay
there for the day?

It's stopped!
Oh, it was going proper mad.

Somebody must...
Oh, oh, oh!

What?
Oh, it's stopped again.

Ah!

Every time we look, it stops!

If you're here,
can you make a noise?

Can you touch one of us?

Can you throw something?

There's nothing in here
for it to throw.

Can you throw a stone?

Can you throw Barry?

Can you hit Ian?

Nothing yet.

Oh, don't! So tempted.

So, again, I...

I fucking saw it!
I swear to God!

I swear to fucking God.
Get out. Get out now.

Please, please get out!

- You go. No, no, we're fine.
- Please get out.

Please. Fuck.
Mate, I swear to God.

I swear to God I saw it.
It just stepped out.

- Please. Please. Please. Please!
- Go! Go then! Go, go, go.

- I don't wanna fucking stay...
- All right.

...anywhere without anyone...
I swear to fucking God I saw it.

I'm really fucking scared, man.

I'm really fucking scared.
I'm sorry. I've gotta stop.

Sorry, I've gotta stop.

- It's all right, it's all right.
- I'm really, really scared.

It's all right.
Hold it together.

I'm sorry.
Can I just get out?

Sorry. Can someone
just get me out of here, please?

Oh, God. I'm gonna be fine.

Fucking hell!

Fucking...

Has he gone out?

- Barry?
- Yeah?

You up or down?

- Down.
- Okay.

It's the most frightening thing

I've ever seen
in my entire life.

I've never seen anything
that scared me as much as that.

- Okay.
- It was fucking big.

It was...

I've never seen anything
like it in me life.

Ever. Ever, ever, ever.

And that... I don't know.
It feels like

I don't wanna see
anything like that again.

Okay.

And I'm not bullshitting this,
I promise you.

No, no. Hold on. Don't.

Just talk to me,
it's fine. Okay.

I'm sorry.

I feel sick.

How clear was it to you?

So clear.

From sort if there, downward.
Not as clear, but the tall bit,

the shoulders
and just the shape of it.

And it just stepped like that.

- It was so smooth.
- And what is it?

A man, a lady? What is it?

It just looked
like something big.

It just sort of like
a slim face,

but it was pale. It was pale.

I couldn't make out features,
I couldn't make out eyes,

there was no like eyes or nose.

It was just like the shapes...

That's just rain,
that, mate. That's rain.

I swear to God.
Nobody'll ever, ever, ever

be able to tell me
I didn't see that.

'Cause I saw that clear as day,
and it was just so tall.

That's what freaked me out,
is that...

it... was... I don't know.

I'm sorry.
I couldn't stay in there.

- I had to come out.
- No, that's fine.

not to piss on your bonfire,

but I went
and got your K2 meter.

Okay.

And it wasn't lighting
or anything like that.

It didn't light up
when I saw it.

So now, the K2 meter is...
that's proven to you bollocks?

- Yeah. Yeah, definitely.
- Right, okay. Fine.

- So, okay... Okay, so,
- I've got no argument.

- K2 meter, gone? Yeah.
- Fine.

- No joke.
- Yeah.

Yeah, it didn't work.

If it was meant
to detect something,

- it didn't detect what I saw.
- Fine. Okay.

- Okay!
- Okay.

- Can I have a minute?
- Yep. Cut it there, please.

- Thanks.
- Thanks, everyone.

In his defence...

he's not that good an actor.

I went to drama school,
and I can't do that.

So, unless he's genuinely
been hiding

some fucking Branagh skills,

then that's what he saw then.

But that doesn't mean
it's a ghost.

No one saw it.

None of the crew saw it,

which is useless.
That's pointless to anyone.

Because I'm already on side,
I believe,

I need him to see it, not me.

'Cause at least if he saw it,
he'd have a long think about it.

Things like that.

Whereas me,
I'll just shit meself.

Really frustrating.

I'm going home.

I'm going home.

That footage
was genuinely terrifying.

And not 'cause of a ghost.

It was terrifying,

'cause when I watched
that footage

and saw his face,

it was like, he's gone.

Completely.

I don't know, it's like,
it's sorta like

you're messing
with something, you know?

So, it's not just fun,

it's not just
being scared of the dark,

and it's not just
being scared with your friends,

it's like here's that thing
you've been looking for,

and is that really
what you wanted?

And I thought,
is he gonna come back at all,

first off,
and if he does come back,

what sort of state
is he gonna came back in?

'Cause he looked broken.

Right now,
I am ready to go home.

I'm done. I am done.

And by the way,
he did come back weird.

And I mean, really weird.

Hi, mate. It's just me.

Just wondering,
can you just have a look

at your text messages?

I'm gonna text you a post code.

If you come and meet me there,

I just need
to have a chat with you

about some things.
It's not a haunted place,

I just wanna have a chat.
All right, see you soon. Bye.

Why are we in a church?

Doing the ghost hunting
for 20 years,

and I've always been honest
and I've always said

- I've never seen anything.
- Right.

And now
I'm not in that position,

because I did see something.

That throws up more questions
than it does give me answers.

'Cause if that is true,

then it opens up
the possibility of an afterlife.

I'd rather have an answer
that I didn't see what I saw.

Well, then be happier.
You hallucinated.

Mate, you had two hours' sleep,

you were in
a heavily stressful situation,

you were on codeine
'cause your knee was knackered.

Is hallucination a real thing?

- Yeah.
- Right. So that happens?

- Yeah.
- It's not a myth.

Not an urban legend,

some people believe
and some people don't.

It does just happen, doesn't it?

- Yeah.
- Right.

So, if you went to the doctor's

and you said
that you saw a 25-foot ghost,

- nobody else saw it.
- Hmm.

What questions would they
ask you at that point,

do you reckon?

- Are you on drugs?
- Right.

What other questions
would they ask you?

What did it look like?

No, they wouldn't ask you,
"What did it look like?"

If you get
the right doctor,

he might be more interested
in "Did it speak to you?"

No. No they won't,

'cause the reason
you're at the doctor

is to find out what's happening,
if you're ill.

And if something bad
has happened.

The doctor will be asking you
those specific questions,

because those things
directly correlate and tally

with what happened to you.

People who hallucinate
are tired,

people who hallucinate
have had a lack of sleep,

people who hallucinate
are on drugs,

people who hallucinate
are under stressful situations.

You got one, two, three,
full house.

If life after death is real,
then what about religion?

So, are you religious now?

It's got me scared

thinking what happens
when you do die.

Then surely, I should be
religious in some way,

'cause I don't wanna go down
and not up.

I don't even know
if we're in the right place.

I don't even know
if I'm back in the right one.

Well, what's this one?
What church is this?

This is... Jesus.

- Church, church.
- Jesus?

- Oh yes, the Jesus church.
- Church. Church.

- The blanket one. Yes.
- Jesus?

- The blanket one?
- A blanket one that covers all.

I'll tell you now that this
is a Protestant church.

But let's not get
into the factions,

let's go for the overview.

- Well, if it's...
- Christianity, Allah,

Buddha, the elephant one.

No, but... The what one?

What I'm saying to you is,

is this one
is Church of England,

but Christianity is also covered
by Catholicism...

Yeah.

...Evangelical, Baptist.

They're all sort of factions
of Christianity, really.

Well, we...
The curse that we did...

The curse that you did.

That we did...

- Well, I don't...
- That we did

- in the vault...
- I didn't do a curse.

- You got in the circle.
- You told me to.

- I...
- You were the ringleader.

If I told you to jump
off a bridge, would you?

Well, it depends how long
you've been talking for.

What about the curse?

So, I'm one who's mucked around
with the real witches as well.

- Yeah.
- The stone circle one,

- the curse there.
- Yeah.

We left there,
what did we try and do?

We tried driving home...

- Yeah.
- ...that night.

Worst storm ever,
or something hit,

on the west coast,

we got blown all over
in the hearse.

We were driving back
from Scotland,

of course there was bad weather.

There's almost always
bad weather.

Me pipes burst at home.

Yeah, again, this is your house.

There was loads
of things went, right...

The van.

The van, there was a crack
in the windscreen

- on the van.
- Yeah. Yeah.

All these things
are in the Bible.

And lo, God said,

"I shall smite you
with cracked windscreens?"

At gigs, like quietly

before going onstage,
doing that.

- You've been crossing yourself?
- Like that.

Why?

- Protection.
- It's not protection.

- It is.
- What are you talking about?

- They do it in the Exorcist.
- And also, crossing yourself

is Catholicism.
That's what Catholics do.

You're better off
just taking a punt on one

than not getting involved.
It's like playing the lottery.

It's like,
I'm probably not gonna win,

but you gotta be in it
to win it.

That's not what your faith is.

Your faith is meant to be
something that you believe,

that you have faith in,
not something

that you're conveniently
pretending to believe in

because you thought
you saw a tall ghost!

But then when I get up,
I'll just blag it.

What do you mean,

when you get up,
"you'll just blag it?"

- I'll be St. Peter.
- Right.

You come down here,

you be Barry Dodds
at the gates of heaven.

Okay, could be have, um...

Berry Dodds, please?

Barry Dodds, close enough.

- B-A-R-Y? Oh.
- No, double "R."

That's what your parents wrote
on your birth certificate.

Okay. So this is
your entrance interview

- to heaven. Pretty cool place.
- Yeah.

You'll appreciate
that we have to check

that you do actually follow
this faith.

This lever here
will send you to hell.

Now, on your notes it's saying
that you only found faith

after hallucinating

- in a dungeon?
- No. It wasn't hallucinating.

- I saw...
- No! Oh, no, sorry.

And I appreciate
that you think it wasn't,

but we know here in heaven,
we know what happened.

- Right. Okay.
- We've got a guy.

He's sort of
like the boss here...

- Right. Okay.
- ...who sees everything.

So, I can tell you now,

for a fact,
it was a hallucination.

Can I tell you
what God's notes are?

- All right, hold on.
- I've got God's notes.

We normally keep them quiet,
but I can just tell you

- what they are.
- Alright, come on then.

God's said, "He's pretending
that he believes in all this.

He was worried
that he had got the wrong one,

but he's gonna pretend

whichever one
that it actually is

in the afterlife,

to try, and again in quotes,
'blag' his way into heaven."

- Can I speak to God, please?
- No.

Because he already knows
what you're gonna say.

Well, no.
Can I speak to him, please?

- No.
- No.

Look, I wanna speak
to your supervisor.

- Okay.
- Can you just give him a shout?

I'll wait. You go and get him.

- Yeah, get God.
- That's fine, that's fine.

- Hello?
- Hello.

Listen. Sorry about
all that down there.

Right.

It's kind of important,
though, right?

- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- You're pretty sure

that was important?

Yeah, really important,
but I really...

Sorry, I...

You know, I'm on your team.

I know you're lying.

- First, sorry for that.
- I already know you're lying.

I know what you're about to say.

I know what you're about to say,

I know what you're thinking
right now. I know everything.

I know you're blagging it.
I am everywhere.

You see?

Probably
less nagging down there.

You're not gonna do
your crossing before you go?

Not this church.

Oh, right.

If you grow up

in a fundamentally
religious community,

then believing things

which have no obvious real world
explanation or evidence,

that's par for the course.
You become someone who...

If someone says to you,

"God made
the world in six days,"

you go, "Okay, cool."

'Cause you've been raised
to think that.

You have no reason
to doubt that.

So, you know, when you say,
"God made the world in six days,

also, there's a ghost
in the air."

All right,
that's not a challenge

to your core beliefs.

What am I meant
to do with that?

You've gotta remember,
this sort of thing,

with Barry to me,
has been going on for years.

This hasn't started
with just this film.

I don't know
what I'm meant to do

with what he's just said to me.

He's meant to be proving to me
the existence of ghosts,

and now he's on a quest for God.

Or trying to negotiate
how he's gonna get into heaven.

What do I do?
Right, it's fine.

He's back on track.
We've got him back in.

He's back willing to do it.

Let's bundle him
in that hearse now,

get him to as many locations
as we possibly can,

and just get through this.

And then let him
go join a cult or something,

whatever
he's gonna inevitably do.

But if he's not doing
it properly,

if he's gonna stand in corners
and offer nothing at all,

or react in stupid ways
to stupid things,

then I'm dicking about.

I'm sorry for saying "dick"
in a church.

Cue montage.

We are here now

at The Ancient Ram Inn
in Gloucester.

David Feld. I am a psychic
clairvoyant medium.

There's something down
in the far end.

Really angry, really angry, man.

Can you move something in here

and we'll just leave?
We'll leave you alone.

Can you do that again for us?

Is he still with us?

All right.
Well, there's no point,

'cause Ian's turning the light
on and off.

What is the point?

We can go and have a twat around
in the shopping center.

You can turn the lights
on and off.

There's no point,

because he is turning
the light on and off.

You spoiled child.

How am I a spoiled child?

Right, my birthday
party's cancelled

'cause Ian is turning a light
on and off!

You all right, Barry?

I'm trying to look
for something.

Having a little creep
about the place, are you?

There's somewhere
in this room...

Yeah?

There's a mummified cat
that they found in the wall.

They found it in the wall
that was put in here...

And again, shit! It's happening.

Oh, God! I've got it!

Have we been...
Has that camera been rolling?

That... I've got it!
I've got it on film!

And on.

There we go.

With me.

One, two, three, four,

five, six, seven,
eight, nine, ten.

One, two, three, four...

...five.

But it was exciting
for a second.

Sending love to whoever might be
in the room with us.

Still twatting about.

It's going in there without
a pre-existing set of beliefs

and that desire
to find the evidence.

Any anomaly will do.

It's all evidence
of paranormal activity.

No, it's not. It's just stuff.

There's nothing scary
about that at all,

and it's just an entire...

That's another problem
with this,

is I've got strangers now

thinking that I actually am
one of these pricks.

Help me!

Not going in.

Yeah, along this wall,

a woman's been seen
loads of times.

Can see these shadows,

and they're all
different heights

and it's almost like
they're walking in a queue

to something.

Do you ever get a little dog?

Listen, I dunno why.

Barry, you've been here
for about seven minutes,

and you're refusing
to go into a toilet.

- Mate!
- Get back.

I swear to God, you touch
my arse one more time

and I'll fucking belt you.

Actually, do it again.

So, if me and Ian

were to sort of try and recreate

how things would've been
back in the school,

do you think that might stir up
a sort of response?

- Yeah?
- There you go. There you go.

It's all right.

It's a fucking cameraman!

If I could have
a little committee meeting

with the ghosts,

I'd say, "Right, look, lads,
Ian's running rings round us,

he's taking the piss
out of me and you,

he's shouting at you.
Shout back at... shout back!

Lob an egg at him!"

The teacher called Morris...

- Morris?
- Yep.

Yeah, he's shit, isn't he?
Make fun of him.

You're a wanker!

Sing it.

No, he's gotta
hear what you're saying.

You can't mumble it.

♪ Manky Morris is a wanker ♪

♪ Manky Morris is a wanker ♪

Was there no possibility
on this entire journey

that we could've gone somewhere

where we could actually
fucking see?

What do you mean?

Well, I looked over the footage.

When you were off
having your sulk,

and I looked at the footage,
and I assure you,

night vision
doesn't do me or you

- any favors whatsoever.
- Right.

Although, we have beat
Ghostbusters,

'cause we've got
two marshmallow men in our film.

You've got to do it in the dark.

All these weird conditions
that you put into it.

Can you not see

how that undermines
your argument?

Don't see how.

If there's something in there,
there's something in there.

It doesn't matter
if the lights are on or off.

Why'd you have to do it
in the dark?

You're closing off
one of your senses

and opening up another one.
It just gives them an in.

It's a trick.
You are Barnum, sir.

You're a con man!

You are taking me in there,
turning off the lights,

'cause you think
that's gonna trick me

into being scared.

Because it will trick you.

Things are subtle.

- Things that happen are subtle.
- Yeah.

But no one's ever just went,
"I saw a ghost."

"Oh, what happened?"

"Well, it walked into the room,
it had a pair of cymbals

and a sparkler up its arse,
lighting the room."

"Welcome to me afterlife!"

I'm just saying
your arguments are flawed.

So, if you're gonna convince me,

you're gonna need more
than going, "Are you there?

"Are you there? Are you there?
Are you there? Are you there?"

"Did you hear that?"

That was it. That was it then.

That one time out of a thousand,
that was it.

It would have to do it
every time to convince me.

The next night of my life
that I wasted...

Was one of the big guns.

Right, explain that, please.

So, this is home to the most
violent poltergeist ever.

- Is it? Yeah, okay.
- Yeah.

- It's a monk.
- Okay.

And it's known

for dragging people
up the stairs.

Well, maybe it hadn't been
working out before we arrived.

And you arranged things,
didn't you?

What have you arranged?

I arranged
for a couple of people

who've experienced this
sort of thing firsthand

- to come along.
- Yeah. Yeah.

I arranged
for the lady next door,

who's a psychic, to come along.

And you also brought

a load of rules with you,
didn't you?

- Yes.
- That we all had to abide by.

Hmm.

All of us.

No mucking...

Trousers?

- ...about.
- About. About!

- Close.
- No more mucking about.

- Okay.
- No throwing things.

No going,
"Ah, what's that, Barry?"

and making me shit meself.

Wah! Has it started?

- Two.
- Yes.

I decide
who's in this house, when.

Terrifying.

So I can vet, so I know
who's gonna be doing what.

- Number three.
- Yeah.

Bedtime when Barry...

says.

I say when we're going to bed.

All right, Mr. Gray.

- Sorry, sir.
- What?

Right, is that a sex thing?

- Who's Mr. Gray?
- I don't know.

That's my question
to you as well.

Is this a sex thing?

No shagging.

Right. Okay, I agree.

I'll sign that one off now.

What is
"bedtime when you say" mean?

I wanna control when we're up...

Right.

...so we can be awake
at the right times.

- And try to see the monk.
- Okay. Fine.

Number five.
We're sleeping upstairs.

Again, it's all...

A lot of this seems to based

around bed activities,
doesn't it?

'Cause this is the thing,
we're in... it's...

It's like you're saying,
"Oh, bedtime when I say,

or we're sleeping upstairs.
No shagging, wink, wink."

There is something in this house

that's happening,
of great significance.

Bringing a sceptic like Ian
into this house

is absolutely
the right thing to do.

Everyone
that comes to this house

should come as a sceptic.

Because I know that,
as a former sceptic,

this house has the capacity
to change your view.

At first, it was just
like little things,

like I'd hear a lot of footsteps
'cause we just had floorboards,

like, no carpet.

Then it was when
I was walking down the stairs

and everyone was downstairs.

And the stairs are like there

and the bathroom's like there,
wasn't it?

- Yeah.
- And there was, like,

a bleach bottle in there,

'cause obviously
we bleach the bathroom.

And I was walking downstairs

and it just sort
of threw it at my head.

Obviously, like, I shouted at
my mum, "Oh, my God, why'd you

throw that at my head?" And
she was like, "I'm downstairs,

how would I throw it
at my head?"

That's when, like,
the movements started to happen.

You know,
where you had to believe it.

I'm just curious
about how you would feel

about going up those stairs?

I wanna do it.
But I feel like I can't.

So, you see,
this is what I mean.

This is what I think
people don't get.

I think this is terrifying.

Ian, right now,
will walk through that door

- in the middle of the night...
- Straight up.

...straight up into bed,
turn the light off.

I didn't know
you were doing that little tour

round the house with them two.

You did that in secret.

- No secret.
- It was in secret.

And I think the reason
you did it in secret

is because you know

that you said something
in that little tour

that wins me the argument
in one second flat.

Right.

You said I could walk through
that hallway and up them stairs

and I wouldn't react at all.

But you couldn't do that.

You admitted
it was all in your mind.

It's what you bring to it.

Because somebody
previously has told you

there's a monk
halfway up them stairs,

and you've subscribed
to that belief.

When you go to those stairs,
you're terrified.

- Because I've told the story?
- Yeah.

So, I just won it there as well.

- No!
- I have!

Because you've been told
the story.

There's no ghost there.

'Cause if there was,
you'd see it.

It wasn't that...

- At the time. At the time.
- It wasn't there.

- It wasn't there.
- At the time.

So then, why were they crying?

Mum, it's fucking freezing, mum.

Oh, there's
something up there.

Mum, it's freezing.
I'm not going any further.

And obviously,
you went public with it,

'cause it was in the papers,

and you would've been
a teenager at school

- at the time.
- Yeah.

What impact did
that have on your life then?

I've people messaging me, like,

"Oh, you're the girl
that lied about the ghost."

Blah, blah, blah.

And for the people
that don't believe it,

would they really think
I'd wreck my life like that?

Just for a bit of being
in the paper for ten minutes.

So really, we don't.

well, people who've done
more ridiculous things

- to just to be in the papers.
- Yeah.

I'm not throwing
that accusation at you,

by the way. I'm genuinely not.

I'm saying that...

I don't think the argument

"Well, would I have done that
for what I got?"

would stand up,
'cause we don't know what's...

You know,
we don't know who you are.

There are people on TV now
who do the most horrific things

just because it means
they're on television.

It's like facing
your biggest fear.

Yeah.

It's horrible, but I don't know.

Do you ever regret then?

As bad as it sounds, I'm glad,

because some people
would do anything

to experience
something paranormal,

and I'm glad that I know,
for a fact,

there is a good force
and a bad force.

But what we are telling you,
whether you believe it or not,

we know it happened.
And it was real to us.

Coming in here,

this would've been
the parents' room.

And the parents
were asleep one night, in bed,

and they woke up,

and at the foot of the bed

was the Black Monk
of Pontefract.

And the Black Monk was somebody

who apparently
murdered a young girl

and his body
was thrown down a well,

which is underneath this house.

In here, I've set up the Ovilus.

Catch ghost.

Catch ghost.

Communicate "catch ghost."

So now, through to what was
the teenage boy's bedroom.

There was a wardrobe here.

And he was in bed one night

and the wardrobe
started violently shaking,

started crashing
against the wall.

So, in this room here,

be using the K2 meter.

What did we agree
after the vaults

about the K2 meter?

You're literally
not listening, are you?

Apparently, a lot of the things
that happened in here

are centered around the stairs.

Now, the father of the family
who lived here

did not believe in the ghosts.

He thought it was all
absolutely nonsense.

Until he was in here one day

and the door
slammed shut behind him,

and he could feel a presence
in here with him.

And in here,
I've set up the motion sensor.

Where did that come from?

From out there.

It's a marble.

- Where did that...
- I promise you.

- Where's he?
- I swear to God, Barry.

He's in there.

- Where is he?
- No, he's not in here.

Okay. Right, well...

- A marble's...
- You did kick it, though.

Did I not kick it?

It rolled from over there.

Ah, so I caught it with my foot.

If we hadn't filmed that at all,

and we didn't have
the absolute evidence there

that you did knock it,

you would've gone away
from here saying

a marble moved
and you didn't kick it.

The most obvious thing would be

- that you've knocked it.
- Yeah.

Wasn't even a possibility.

- No, you're right.
- You get it?

You're right.

Okay, we have guests.

This is Carol.

- Hello.
- Hello.

This is me daughter,
and Eileen's a good friend.

- Okay.
- And she's a team member.

Okay, a team of...
what's the team?

East Drive Paranormal.

We came in here last night,

and Eileen just does her phone,
and she were videoing...

What the hell were that?

I saw that.

Oh, God!

And we saw
this pure white thing

come up between us

and as I said, "What the..."
can you imagine,

it's just shot up
into the ceiling.

We've tried debunking it,

we're tried recreating it,
no chance.

Done nothing white
in the bedroom whatsoever.

So, in this room right now,

what are you seeing
that we're not?

What I see what you don't see?
I see energy.

Right.

Which all I can explain it,
a red-hot day,

a road shimmering.
It's exactly the same thing.

So, in this room right now...

I try to ignore it
when I go in places.

I understand. Yeah.

So, what was that?

I've just been touched
on my leg.

- By?
- By someone that's in here.

Barry?

That was ninja reflexes.

I don't know if you believe it
or you know it's bullshit.

I do not walk in
and say to any of them,

"Ooh, that's there,
that's there."

I will purposely
keep my mouth shut...

Okay.

...because I'm same as you.

Okay, it's there,
I can see it and I can feel it.

You've just seen me react
to a cold hand.

Is it me saying,
"Oh, there's summat here,

it just touched me.
What's it gonna do to them?"

Oh, God! There's something in
this room now. Ooh, bloody hell!

So, I don't know that.

Every venue
Eileen's been in with me...

There you go.
That's exactly what you did.

And I just acted it out.

What's in this room now?

What was in this room
that touched me

- has gone through that door.
- Did you feel that, Barry?

No.

So, how does he make
the step over?

'Cause this is
his last chance, Carol.

There's not gonna
be likely for you.

You're never,
ever gonna believe,

because your mind's set.

But you know I'm not doing this
just to be stubborn.

- I know.
- You know that

I actually do research
this stuff?

But he does what he does,

and he does not need
to prove to you.

No, I know he doesn't,
but he's chosen to try to.

You could've done this
a different way.

And now I have got
a man inside of me ear.

And he's Alan.

And he's on about

how you were
exactly the same as a child.

You still give the argument.

Don't matter
what was said to you,

you argue at the toss
of everything. And he says,

"You're so pig-headed
you don't want to admit it,

'cause you're scared
to admit it."

Okay, and I'll tell him
that and all.

He's also on about,
did your grandmother die?

I've been given roses
or a name Rose.

And he's saying,

"He saw
the true colors of you."

You are petrified,
but you made out you weren't,

'cause you're carrying
this mask.

And he says, "You just want
to prove that you're right."

He goes, "Do you know what?
You're not.

And you never will be."

He's saying it don't matter
what you do, you know,

you're not the big I am.

- Sorry I'm saying it like this...
- It's Ian. It's Ian.

No, I says he saying
that you're not the big I am.

I know, I know. It's I-an. Ian.

Right. And what he's saying is,

he says, "If you didn't believe,
you wouldn't be here now

going through all this crap.

This man wants to believe."

And he just said,
"Put me up,

- because I don't give a shit.
- There's no else to."

That's his exact words,
and he's saying,

"D'you know what?
You're bleeding wrong!"

Thank you. Right.
I don't know you.

I don't know Alan,
I don't know Rose,

- I don't know...
- I'm not saying you do.

Rose could be a referral
to a lady that's passed away,

that had roses,
or a coffin, in a coffin.

But that was related
to my grandmother.

There's no connection there.

It don't matter to me, does it?

I just pass what I'm given.

Nothing whatsoever
to do with me.

And he just said,
"You're wasting your breath."

Barry knows already.

He's already had the words
from spirit.

And you've a lot more to come.

You don't need to prove
to anyone about anything.

As long as you know,
and in here you know,

doesn't matter
what anybody thinks.

This is what you believe,

this is what
you know,.

Thank you.

Sorry, I'm waiting
for you to kiss.

He's sent the crew away.

So we've got no crew.

We're in here on our own
with no crew,

filming it on these things
that we don't know how to work.

He didn't put on his rules

we get a lesson
in how to work cameras.

What's your logic
in getting rid of the crew?

So, if there's a bang...

- Yeah?
- ...you can't go,

"Oh, that was Danny."

Or that was...
you know, you can't rule...

But I can say,
"Oh, that was Barry." Can I?

No, but if I'm here now,

and there was a bang
from upstairs...

Right.

...then rules it out,
doesn't it?

But why would the crew
be wandering around upstairs?

Just having a look.

Well, if they are,
but we could've said

the crew have to all be
in the same room.

Not send the crew away.

I take it from that face
you've not thought this through?

- No.
- No, no, no.

I've had goosebumps
since I've back.

- Have you?
- Yeah. Yeah.

Had a couple of flushes.

You know where they go through
your body?

Hmm?

Like a prickly thing
through your body?

I've that now.

I could be starting me diabetes.

Could be that.

Feels slightly different
in here for me tonight.

What time is it?

Five to three.

The witching hour.
Definitely a shadow over there.

- What? What?
- Definitely a shadow over there.

Honestly.

- On the ceiling.
- Okay. Right. Right.

- I'm not bullshitting.
- Oh, okay. Right.

But I think, honestly, mate,
don't panic.

I don't think it's anything.
I don't think it's anything.

I think, at the moment,
what's happening is

we're feeding into each other
at the moment.

So, I've got goosebumps
all up my arms. Look.

- Look at that.
- I know.

I can see your hairs on end.

So I've got that going on.

So, what I'm doing
is feeding into you.

What you're doing
is feeding into me.

So, we're panicking each other.

Do you think there's
anything spooky in here?

No.

Do you think there was ever
something spooky in here?

I think it was
somebody's idea...

that then...

got out of hand.

Or came to fruition.

I feel a bit uncomfortable.

Why?

I don't like the quiet.

There's a quietness to this
that hasn't been here all day

since we've been here.

Okay. Let's have a moment then.
I'm enjoying that quiet.

I'm just gonna observe you.

Is there
anybody here with us now?

You jumped!

Oh, I see.

Well, I don't think...
I mean, my hands didn't move.

what has just happened, then?

You just broke your own rules.

No messing about.

No shouting,
no making people jump.

I've not done it once today.

Have I done it once today
since we've been here?

- Even one time?
- No.

No.

- No.
- Have you?

- Yeah.
- So, you just broke the rules.

You just broke your rules.

So, I'm on me own
in this bedroom.

This...

So, I can't even
turn the light off.

I can't relax.

I need to relax.

I'm shattered.

I'm absolutely shattered.

I want to be proving to him...

...that the house is haunted.

And quite frankly,
I don't wanna be in the house.

What's the matter?

What's up?

You're not gonna be happy.

You're just not gonna be happy.

Come over here then, we'll talk.
What's the matter, mate?

I changed the rules.

No!

- The rules are...
- You've...

...everybody must stay
in the Travelodge together.

I don't think I've ever
recorded anything with you

when I've been this tired.

You don't feel safe.

I don't feel safe in this house.

Well, you don't feel safe,

because you don't have
the safety nets

of knowing it's me.

- Barry?
- Yeah?

I'm gonna go upstairs
to bed now.

You're gonna sleep down here
on your own.

Yeah.

- But you...
- Yeah.

...have made an idiot
of yourself.

These were not the rules!

You said you won't be in a room,

that you bagsied yourself
earlier on,

the one that you wanted earlier
and I agreed to it.

I agreed to that earlier on,
and now you're changing.

You're saying,
"No, I want your room."

- I am fucking knackered.
- That's not my fault.

- I'm getting to snapping point.
- That's not my fault.

I'm running out of fight.

I've...

Fine! Chair. Sleep.

In the dark.

Good luck!

I'm done, man.

I played along.

I absolutely played along
with his rules.

He broke the rules.

The rules are off.

Right.

Fucking see? Text.

Fucking hell!

"Stop dicking about.
Where are you?"

"Fucking stop dicking about?"

Fuck. I can't see. I can't see.

I can't see a fucking thing.

"Swear to God,
if you've gone to the hotel..."

I'm not in
the fucking hotel, am I?

Come on!

Oh, fucking hell!

Fuck this! Fuck this!

Ian?

Oh, my God!

Ian?

"Breaking all your own rules."

Pick the phone up!

Fuck!

Ian?

Fucking crew! Where there...

Ian?

Fuck! I can't see.
I can't see, I can't see.

Shit!

I can't see.
I can't even see the stairs.

Fucking infrared's all over.

Ian?

Ian?

Fucking door's locked!

Oh, fuck! Fuck this.

A fucking text.

Have you honestly gone
and taken...

"I've taken your stuff
and gone."

I'm still here!
I'm still in the house!

All right, come on!

Come on,
answer your phone.

Answer your phone.
Answer your phone.

Man.
Fuck, that's me! Jesus!

Answer your phone.
Answer your phone.

Fuck this! Fuck!

Texting.
What are you texting me for?

"Get in the kitchen now.
You better..."

I'm in the fucking kitchen.

I couldn't be
any more in the kitchen.

I'm stood in the middle
of the kitchen!

I couldn't be more
in the fucking...

It all kicked off, didn't it?

It didn't kick off.
I just ran around the house,

shitting myself while you went
and sat in services.

Not that bit.

Oh, yeah.

I tried
doing one thing,

I tried saying something before,

and then that will get
fucking ruined

by you twatting about with me.

That's the fucking issue!

You don't set something up,
or rather you set something up

and then do nothing!
When we were at QED...

Let him film.
Fucking let him film.

When you were
on that stage at QED,

you said, "I want
somebody to go in there

and do it all scientifically.

I find that these people,
these sceptics aren't the sort."

I fucking done that!

I've done that.
I've done it scientifically.

When we were in The Ancient Ram,

and you were jizzing
in your pants

'cause the light was going
on and off, I was counting!

- Bollocks! Bollocks!
- When you're filming it...

- When you were filming it...
- We're going to

a haunted house.
No, we're not, Barry,

- we're going to a house!
- Yeah!

- Yeah.
- And did I go to it, though?

- Yeah!
- Well, there we go.

And when something
starts happening,

or you think
something's happening,

I didn't go, "It's bollocks!"
And walk off.

But you go in
from the wrong perspective.

You gotta go in
a bit openminded.

I went in
with the right perspective!

So, if you're not
doing anything,

something's happening like that,

and there is actually something
worth showing,

I'm fucking engaged!

But if it's you,
just sat in a corner

doing nothing,
or setting up some kit,

then the next day
you just pack away!

I do everything that I can
within my limits.

Right, but you can't kick off
like this, mate!

You can't kick off

because I've done something
funny for the film,

or done something
so there's some content!

You went round the house
setting up kit.

Where's the results?

What happened to that kit?
What happened?

- Nothing! Nothing happened.
- How'd you know?

You weren't even looking at it!

With your coming in
with a shitload of rules

and then saying,
"Oh, I'm not gonna...

Everyone's
gotta sleep upstairs!"

And then go, "I'm not gonna
sleep upstairs actually,

I'm gonna sleep in the hearse.
I'm gonna sleep downstairs."

Then, of course,
I'm gonna twat about!

'Cause it's you that's not
fucking doing it properly, mate.

That's why I'm doing things
like last night!

'Cause I need to get something!

But you don't know!

'Cause you don't have any
of the experience that I had.

You've got nothing at all
from the vaults!

Nothing at all!

I got something from it.
You didn't!

So what does that mean
now, then?

You should be shouting out
from the rafters!

From the moment
that happened in the vault,

you've been disengaged
from this film.

And if you're terrified, fine,
but fucking tell me!

And tell them
that you're terrified!

You found
what you're looking for,

and you fucked off!

It's a shame to end it
on a row, isn't it?

Hmm.

Although, somewhat inevitable.

But in conclusion, no ghosts?

The vaults?

Apologies. No ghosts,

but we did get to see
a complete mental breakdown.

I know what I saw.

There were seven people
in the room,

and only you, forgive me,

the token lunatic,

saw a ghost.

But it's interesting.

The interesting point
about all this, for me,

is why do you carry on
believing this?

Even in the face
of all this evidence

that says to the contrary,

why do you carry on
believing in fairy stories?

I think it's interesting
that you don't do this properly.

Because I think you're scared.

No, I've just got no interest
in making a silent movie.

Well, the other
interesting thing is,

is that through all of this,
you've been setting things up.

So, you've put me in front of

a conference full of people
who weren't expecting me,

you've locked me in houses,

you've stuck signs on the car

so I look like a dick
when we're driving around.

- You found out about that? Yeah.
- Hmm.

Well, I've got
a little surprise for you now.

Okay.

I'm gonna send you a postcode
for a place

to come and meet me...

Are we going dogging?

Again?

- We're gonna meet there.
- Right.

And I'm gonna take away from you

the thing that stops you
from being scared.

I'm chairman

of the Codnor Castle
Heritage Trust.

The castle's actually been
lived in for nearly 800 years

of its life.

We've had our own experiences
up here of paranormal activity

over the years,

so I do believe
it's haunted, yes.

This is even it?

Hello?

- Hello.
- Hello, mate.

Can Barry come out
to play, please?

- Starting already?
- Yeah.

This is nice how you put
plastic bags in the cracks.

Congratulations
on your new home.

- It's perfect.
- Okay. For what?

- For what I want to do.
- Which is?

- You're gonna be in here...
- Yeah.

- ...on your own.
- Where are you gonna be?

I'll show you
where I'm gonna be. Come.

Come with me.

So, this will take us
up to the attic,

which is about as far away...

...as possible
that I can get from you.

I could go home.

This is pointless mucking about.

So, you're gonna be
in the attic?

I'm gonna be away from you.

- You put me in the guest room.
- Yeah!

- Can I do it?
- Yeah. If you want.

I genuinely can't wait
to see it.

Motherfucker!

- Out! Het out now!
- Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

No!

- What was it?
- Fucking something threw!

Something
fucking threw something.

Something's
dropped off, mate.

Shut up, man!

What do you mean
"shut up, man?"

Is this... Has he said...
He was in here.

- Is this...
- Is this mucking about?

Have you done that?

I've been fucking downstairs!

What is it?

Think it was a mug.

Can we keep filming?

Carl, just keep filming.

Nick, keep filming,
so don't cut at all.

Do it in one shot.
Only one shot.

Just so we can see.

Do what? I dunno what

- you want me to do.
- Come on.

Go up to where we're going.

Shall I go up?

- Yeah.
- Right.

Just stay with me.
Barry, come up with me, mate.

Fucking hell.

Can you just...
Am I bleeding there?

- I don't think so.
- 'Cause it hit me.

Something hit me.

I presume part of that.

What was that?
Was that the plaster?

It was a mug.

Come on up.

Just so we can see

there's no one twatting about
up here.

- I'm not...
- It's okay. Come on.

I'm not... If there's someone...

- No one in there.
- Right.

- On you go, look.
- What is it?

I don't know what...
I've not been here!

I dunno what room it is.

You can look at whatever
you want on your own.

I'm not having
me back to anyone now.

Right, you go that way,

I'll go that way,

so we can see
if someone's up there.

And you can't run off.

Keep filming.

No one.

Okay.

Back into it. Just go through
what you gotta go through.

Tell me
what you're gonna do.

I'm... Well.
I'm gonna watch you on that.

Right. And I'm gonna be
safely downstairs.

Yeah! I don't like
where this is going.

This is a nice little setup
you've got going, mate.

Okay.

Well, I'm happy doing that.
Is it safe?

Okay.

Other than rogue crockery.

I will agree,
that was terrifying.

- But I'm holding it together.
- Right. Okay.

But I agree, that was...

You're down there on your own.

- Am I definitely not bleeding?
- On your own.

Something did hit me.

I can see it there, look.

It hit there.

Knew we should've got insurance
for this film.

There's no point using the kit.

Because he'll rubbish it all,
or he'll muck about with it,

or worse, break it.

There's no point
telling him the story,

because if I tell him,

then he'll say
that it didn't happen

or try and find a way around it,
so that it doesn't make sense.

If I don't tell him,
and something happens,

then it's genuinely paranormal.

I'm not 100% sure how I feel now

about him being
on his own down there,

because I'm not convinced

I wanna be up here
on my own anymore.

'Cause of what happened
before, so...

I literally
couldn't have done it.

You might've gone up there...

You're the only person
who's been in here.

That could've been balanced
on top of the door frame.

That was thrown!

- Like, that was thrown down.
- There's nobody up here.

There's nobody up here,

and the only person
who's been in this house is you.

I've never set foot
in this house before.

It's got to be you.

It's fine, mate. Honestly.

But you knew we were coming,

'cause I had to tell you
where to drive to.

Do you think I broke in
before I got here?

Or got somebody to get in.

You're doing it very well.
Fair play to you.

This is karma and it's fine.
I don't mind.

- Yeah.
- I'm enjoying it.

I'm enjoying
that you're setting stuff up.

- That's absolutely fine.
- Well, I'm not!

Let's move on.

The biggest point
in this is that it's him...

on his own
with no one to play with.

So, he can't wind me up.

Well, there's not much he can do
other than sit and wait.

Also, he can't joke around
to sort of break that tension.

Do I just stand here?
what do I do?

Well, he's trying.

Might send out
a distress signal.

So, if he's scared,
he will actually be scared.

The neighbors'll love that.

Let's just hope
somebody sees it.

The other thing
about this room is,

is that he doesn't know anything
about that room.

So, I know the story,
but he doesn't.

It's actually quite a nice bit
of the film, this,

where he's not talking.

He's gonna come through
that door.

Or there's gonna be a bang.

Just trying to think
what I would do.

He's gonna
turn back to the house.

That's what I would do to them.

He's talking to himself now

to probably try
and sort of comfort himself.

'Cause that room's horrible.

Is that genuinely
the best you can do?

What's that?

See that fireplace?

There was something found
under there.

Feed's gone.

Dunno. It's just cut.

Ian?

Nick, where did he go?

He ran off.

- He ran off?
- Yeah.

But did he say
what happened in the room?

I'm getting no sound
off the mic, so...

There's no... Okay.

Ian?

Can you hear him?

No.

That's my headtorch.

That's the one
from that cursed circle

in Edinburgh.

Ian?

I don't know
what to do. Ian?

Ian?

Whoa, whoa!

Ian? Shitting hell!

You all right?

Fucking hell, mate!

I don't know what to do.

I don't know what's happening.
I dunno, tell me what to do.

Is this the castle?

Yeah.

Mate, you drugged me or summat?

Right.

I don't know,
I dunno what's happening now.

I dunno what's happening.

You were watching it.

What? The telly?

- Yeah.
- Yeah.

So, what happened?

Went to the fireplace,
there was a noise.

Like that.

Was like a crying thing,
which I thought was you as well.

And then I moved the Twigs,

and it was gold.
Everything was gold.

- What do you mean?
- It was like gold.

Everything... I don't know
how else to explain it.

I could just see a lot of gold.
It was all gold.

All right. Do you want your...

How long have you had that?

I've not had that.

- Yeah.
- I had that in the vault.

- From the vault, yeah.
- I thought you took it.

No.

- You did.
- No, you must've... You took it.

- I didn't.
- You left it in the vault.

'Cause I dropped everything
in the vaults.

And I left that because that...

You did the thing to me,
I'm holding on to it.

- 'Cause you took that...
- I'm sure you took it.

And now I'm holding it.

It was gold,

and her voice was like...

"And the Oscar goes to...

Ian Boldsworth
for the ParaPod," maybe.

There's nothing in that room.

Bollocks!

There was nothing
in that room!

No, you were scared.

- I wasn't!
- You were!

I wasn't scared in that room.

There was nothing
in that fireplace.

No. No.

Why the fireplace then?

It's just in the room.

Why did you go to there?
Why didn't you go to the mirror,

the window? Why the fireplace?
Why not the corner of the room?

You don't know anything
about that room.

That fireplace

is what the stories
of that room is linked to.

Right.

There was a woman in that room.
She died, somehow.

Would've died of boredom.

- Right.
- I was getting close.

But people say
you can still hear her sobbing.

Nobody knows... Like, she
was a bit like a recluse.

When they pulled
that fireplace out,

underneath the fireplace,

in what would've been
an old wood burner,

they found a small skeleton.

Was it a skeleton of a child?

- Yeah.
- Not an Oscar?

No.

- Bafta?
- No!

No. Fucking Razzie.

- A fucking Razzie.
- What?

There you go.

What was that?

Mate! Nothing frightening
was going on in that room.

Bollocks!

Actually wasn't.

All through the film,

he's mucked around.
So there was locking me in.

And he's tried
locking me in the house.

And taken my head torch

inside a cursed stone circle
in Edinburgh.

Breakdancing
in a Victorian school.

Turning the tent round
in the woods.

Still don't know how he did it.

But bullshit!

That was fake.

He was scared.

And now, he's saving face,

'cause now he's gonna talk
his way out of it.

Whoa!

Okay, that's a wrap everybody!
Well done!

- A wrap on the Parapod movie!
- Ian!

- Well done, everybody!
- Ian!

Well done, everybody.
I think Barry's already gone.

Can we get out
as quick as we can, please?

Danny?

So, were you ever going
to change around

the shots and all that
on the steering wheel

in the hearse?

Which answer would you like?

- The truthful one.
- No.

Right.

So why do it?

To make me look like a dick?

So how did
you do the tent then?

- I didn't.
- You did.

I think these are the things

you need to work out
for yourself.

Alright, okay.

Any thoughts on it?

No.
