Haunted Page #5

Synopsis: Professor David Ash is invited to Edbrook to calm the fears of the elderly nanny of the Mariell family. Nanny Tess is seeing things, and Ash's book debunking such phenomenon makes him a good choice to set her mind at ease and convince her she is just tired and stressed. But soon after arriving David too begins to doubt his senses, and watching the odd behavior of the three grown Mariell children doesn't make his task any easier. In fact, he begins to think Nanny Tess isn't really just tired and stressed out after all.

I want to spend more time with you,

without being disturbed my brothers.

Do not argue.

Already decided.

It's your last day,

I want to use it.

The irresistible call of the roots, I think.

Herbs for luck?

What happened?

Drowned.

David, I'm sorry.

He was with her when it happened.

I consider psychology because of that.

To prove it really was.

She will not ever, David.

There is magic in nostalgia.

Without that magic,

just the ability to love.

This is my magical place.

What is it?

My mother adored him.

He came here every summer days.

I can almost see it now...

They were heading to the mountains.

The rain fell earlier in the year.

Just disappeared.

That was the beginning of their problems.

A race to the house.

Where have you been?

Riding.

Riding?

At night?

Sorry, Robert.

Sorry?

You should.

We wait for hours for dinner.

I was worried.

It was not our intention to slow us down.

to Nana, but tell me what has he done?

For now, not David's fault.

Of course not.

Nana was very worried.

It's terrible that you do that.

Sorry.

His sister is an adult woman.

And the fault is all mine.

Good night.

How well we were close.

Algae...

I could not shake them.

They were around my neck.
