Perfect. Okay. Hold that.

Emi, can you bring that pipejust...

six inches out from your mouth.

No, out. Right.

Okay. That's enough color.

Let's shoot some black-and-white.

See, uh, right up there? That's my office,

right up there in the corner.

- That's your office?

- [Ben] Clear frame, please. Bruno!

- Yeah?

- Be plenty of time for that later.

[Bruno]

All right.

[Ben]

Clear the frame, please.

[Woman's Voice]

You left me here.

- What did you say?

- What?

What did you just say to me?

Nothing.

[Clears Throat]

Okay. Here we go.

Uh, Sandra, can you

bring your leg out a little bit?

- Thank you.

Sorry. L... I was wondering if you could

tell me where you get your photos from.

- Oh, he's a fake.

- Oh. Shh.

Look. Our readers want to see scary photos.

And real ones are hard to find.

So, it's not a big deal.

Right, so none of this is real.

I didn't say that. Look, I started

this magazine three years ago.

And this is the first photo

we ever published.

That's me in the photo.

It was taken after my mother

had passed away.

It's real.

But that's just one picture.

Come on.

I want to show you something.

[Voice Whispering]

We didn't fake these.

You know, spirit photography

has been around since the 1800s...

as long as photography itself.

All across the world,

these images have always appeared...

connecting us with the unseen.

And I think they're trying

to tell us something.

Like what?

Well, depends on the people

and the pictures.

Unrequited love.

Maybe you've had an unfinished business

with a dead relative.

Could be your father,

mother, children.

- [Voices Whispering]

- I've seen pictures where

living people have appeared.

I think it's a case of strong emotions

making themselves heard.

- Like a message.

- Yes.

Think about it. Why all that effort

if you don't have something to say?

[Voices Whispering]

You know, if you're interested,

wejust did a big story on a local medium.

What?

He's a powerful spiritualist.

We had him take a look

at a bunch of photos. Here.

Does this mean that you can't tell

which ones are real or which ones are fakes?

I know that you can't fake a Polaroid.

There's no negative.

You load the film,

you push a shutter.

And out comes a photo.

How are you gonna fake that?

Maybe you should take a picture of your girlfriend.
