Ghostwatch Page #6

Synopsis: The BBC gives over a whole evening to an 'investigation into the supernatural'. Four respected presenters and a camera crew attempt to discover the truth behind 'The most haunted house in Britain', expecting a light-hearted scare or two and probably the uncovering of a hoax. They think they are in control of the situation. They think they are safe. The viewers settle down and decide to watch 'for a laugh'. Ninety minutes later the BBC, and the country, was changed, and the consequences are still felt today.

She went to bed about,

-Erm...

-I was in bed.

Mum came in to tuck me in,

instead she just stood

by the bed, looking at me.

At least I thought it was her.

And then she just turned

and went.

The thing is, I didn't

tuck them in that night.

I always do,

but that night I fell asleep

in front of the television.

I told her

she must have been dreaming.

Then a few days later,

it was my room.

SARAH:
Should we go and

have a look?

A few days later,

these terrible noises woke me

coming from the walls

like a bat, like a thudding.

All around you?

Yes, like the whole room

was going to come apart.

Did anybody else hear it?

Yes, Suzanne and Kim heard it.

Kimmy, if you heard it too,

what sort of a noise was it?

(HITTING THE FLOOR)

We were screaming,

I was shouting,

"What is it? What is it?"

Well, I didn't know

what to say,

they were that terrified.

So, I said it was pipes.

You know, the central heating.

So, afterwards,

whenever Kim heard something

she'd say, "It's Pipes.

Pipes is here."

SARAH:
So by this time, Kim,

you could actually feel

something as well, could you?

Whereabouts was it

coming from?

There.

SARAH:
What is it

that's over there?

Pipes, that's where he hides.

SARAH:
Does he live there?

Where does he live then?

Anywhere?

On the stairs.

SARAH:
Kim, how do you know

he lives down there?

Because I saw him

through the crack.

He was there.

He was staring at me.

SARAH:
What happened

after you saw him?

I drew a picture of him.

-SARAH:
Have you kept it?

-Yeah.

-SARAH:
Can we have a look?

-Yeah.

Let's have a look.

Was that exactly how he looked

when you saw him?

KIM:
Yeah, he was disgusting.

Really disgusting.

It's a good picture. Yeah.

No. (WHISPERING)

Keep it. It's a present.

Oh, thank you very much.

I'll tell you what, why don't

we put it up somewhere

where everyone can see it?

-Yeah.

-Where's a good place?

On the fridge in the kitchen.

-On the fridge?

-KIM:
Yeah.

SARAH:
There we go.

Will it be all right putting

him up there, do you think?

Yeah, because

he likes everything freezing

and really cold.

Pam, there was something else,

wasn't there?

Yes, there's also this.

Once I looked in Suzie's

exercise book from school.

SARAH:
Oh.

PAMELA:
I was so shocked,

I said to her,

"Did you write this?"

I was going to hit her,

I was so mad.

But it wasn't me.

I don't even write like that.

Then I said to her,

"Who was it, then?

-"Who was it?"

-SARAH:
Yeah.

Who or what?

Michael.

Lots of questions there

that need answering,

perhaps we'll have a chance to

answer some of them tonight.

Just actually hearing

in my earpiece that

Mike Smith has some news.

Mike, what's happening?
