Maybe later.

- Alright, cool.

- Okay. So.

- Well in that

vein let's go downstairs

'cause that's where

the bedrooms are.

- Downstairs?

Oh!

- Downstairs.

These are upside down

houses in the hills.

- Oh.

And this, this rail.

- The wrought iron?

- Yeah, the wrought iron.

Like look at that,

that is so beautiful.

I just wanna stay in

the spiral staircase.

- Here,

let me get the light for you.

Okay.

- Wow.

- This is our master bedroom

- very nice.

- It's where

the magic will happen.

- I don't know, can it?

I think it will.

- To be determined.

- Oh my gosh.

Oh this bathroom.

Why is there plastic?

- The owner was doing

painting during renovation.

- I love it when there's

a separate shower.

- More storage,

there's tons of space.

And another bathroom here.

- Okay, and back here?

- Yes, another bedroom.

Perfect place.

- I'm in shock!

- Can you believe it?

And this wraps back around

to where we just came from.

- I know where I

wanna end the tour.

- I think it worked.

Hold the sexy pose, baby.

We've been here for three days.

- I understand this woman.

- What do you mean

you understand this woman?

You do understand this woman.

- This is a very

oddly furnished house.

- It's not oddly furnished.

What was that?

Did you set those on the edge?

I don't use toothpicks much.

- Wait a minute, David,

what just happened?

David?

Oh my god.

It's going, it's going.

- Did you hear it again?

- Yes.

It's on the ceiling.

- It's on the ceiling,

what are you talking about?

- Well I could hear it.

It sounds like footsteps.

- We don't have a floor.

- It started with

a thump thump, like before.

But now.

- That sounds like somebody's

walking on the ceiling.

- Exactly.

- But there's no

floor above, so.

That's on the roof,

that's really weird.

- That's really weird.

- It could be a

rat or something.

- What are you suggesting?

- I'm suggesting

we try to document this.

We keep the camera

on as much as we can.

- Oh my god.

- Oh my god, really?

- That's just so invasive.

- Then what's your idea?

- I don't have an idea.

I'm upset about what's going on.

- We just need to

have it nearby,

so that we can

document this stuff.

We need to show somebody this.

How are we gonna show them if

we don't have the camera on.

- It's like a thump,

but not a thump.

It's not a bump, it's really...

- like a shoe thump?

- No, no.

It's like a muffled sharp thump.

That sounds, I know

it's contradictory,

but the weird thing is,

and this is what I wanna

know if you had heard it.

It's like, it's

right in this space.

- In this kind of,

wait wait!

Did you just hear that?

Let's be quiet for a second.
