the cameras.

Have a look

at the sensitivity settings.

I want to rule out

any possibility of error.

I'll make another pass

with the thermal imager.

-Aye, aye, captain.

-Anything?

-No.

- I... I have to say,

when the wind..

-Y... yeah, yeah, yeah.

- Hit the side

of the house last night

it scared the hell out of me.

I had to question

what I'm doing here.

- Well, you're here for

the science... And the adventure.

- It's certainly

not for the money.

I suppose sensing

stuff like this

all the time,

you'd be used to it.

-N... no. Not really.

It still scares me.

- So you decided to go

and stay in a haunted house?

- Well, it's kinda different,

it's like..

Someone who's,

I don't know, afraid of flying

and they get on a plane.

So it's... it's like

they're facing their fears.

- How's that workin'

out for you?

-Hopefully we'll see.

- I'll put the coffee on.

- I don't know how you can

drink coffee at this hour.

Keep me awake all night.

- You're always

so sprightly, Liam.

It's not natural.

-It's nearly time.

- Generator.

- Oh!

-That's good.

-3 A.M.

-Holly?

-Holly?

-There's a man.

- You can see someone?

- Yeah.

-Where?

-He's..

He's, uh..

He's standing right

in... in front of me.

He's by the door.

-What is it?

- God, he... he's looked

straight at me.

He's in the hallway.

- I'm still getting

a reading, but it's very low.

No, no, there's nothing now.

-That was awesome!

-Now it's gone.

- No, something feels different.

-I'm not getting a reading.

-No, the air feels different.

- How does

the air feel different?

- Don't talk to me

like I'm a child, Scott.

- I'm not talking

to you like anything.

Holly, y... you can't just

throw out vague observations

about how the air feels

and expect me to do cartwheels.

What we need is facts.

-Yeah, good one.

-What did I say?

Could still just be the wind.

-You're kidding us, right?

- You've never seen a door

get opened by the wind before?

- Does nothing I say

mean anything to you?

I just saw this giant of a man

smash his way through

the house last night.

If you don't believe me

then why are you

still paying me to be here?

- Look, I believe what

you guys believe, I was there.

But we can't show

this to anyone.

All we've got is a door

opening and a light swinging.

- Those cameras

reacted to something.

Something moved

in front of those sensors.

-Yeah, but so what?

Look, I'm sorry but I have to

play devil's advocate here.

Nothing we've captured

actually proves anything.

-Yeah, but what do you expect?

You think ghosts are just going

to come up to the camera

and give us a little wave?

-That'd help.

No, I'm serious.

I would love to capture
