but sometimes,

he sneaks into the farmhouse.

- Sometimes?

- Sometimes he sneaks into the farmhouse.

And sometimes he goes upstairs..

And sometimes, he crawls

under the bed of little girls

that are sleepin'.

But when he does that,

he always gives himself away.

And you know how he gives himself away?

- How?

- Because when everything's

quiet and everybody's sleeping..

- Okay..

- And there's not a noise in the house..

- No..

- Sometimes that farmer,

that farmer's spirit..

He farts!

- Dad!

Dad! Dad!

You're so weird.

- Well, I guess

that makes two of us.

- I'm not weird.

You're the weird one.

- You need to go

to sleep now, hon.

- I know.

- You need to say your prayers.

- I will.

- And you need

to tell me you love me.

- I love you, dad.

- I love you too, Gitty.

- Goodnight, dad.

- Sorry, little guy.

I have tried everything.

I cannot refinance,

interest rate's at 16%.

You were the person

that talked me into

getting this property

in the first place.

You were the one that said

we cannot lose.

You are telling me that we

have less than we had before?

- We're on an adventure!

- Wait for me, guys.

- Come on, Heidi.

Wow.

- Look at that!

Wow.

- Gitty!

- What?

- Took you long enough.

- Is it safe?

- Who knows?

- Is it haunted?

- Probably.

- What do you think's

down there?

- He'll tell us.

- It's safe.

- Are you sure?

- Yeah, it'll be fine.

- Is Teddy okay?

- He'll be okay, Heidi.

- How deep is it?

- I don't know, Michael.

"The farm killed me.

Jr, 1933."

- What do you see?

- Someone died down here.

- What? Is there a body?

- No.

It happened a long time ago.

- Oh.

- No. No, no, no.

No. Wait, wait, wait..

Please. Please don't go. Hi.

What's your name?

- Gitty.

It's short for Gertrude.

- It's a beautiful name.

- I hate it.

- My name's, um..

Uh, Jonathan,

it's not a very pretty name.

Um, hey, Gitty? Uh..

I'm... I'm trapped down here.

And I haven't

I haven't eaten in... in, uh..

Oh, god, in a few days.

- Why are you in our silo?

- This is your silo?

- Yeah.

I'll go get my dad.

- No! No, no, no. No. Wait.

Wait, wait, please don't.

Please don't.

No one's supposed to know

that I'm here, okay?

Can you keep a secret?

- I'm not supposed to keep

secrets from my dad.

He'd get really mad if I did.

- Oh, yeah. No, I... I know.

I know, but you know what?

Um, sometimes if it's a friend

if it... it's someone

you can trust

and you can, you can trust me,

then it's okay.

So don't tell anyone

that I'm here. Okay?

- I don't know.

- Please.

Please, Gitty.

I... you know what?

I can, um, I can give you

anything you want.

Anyth... I can do that.

Anything you want

in the whole world.
