Bad Ben (2016) Movie Script
(keyboard typing)
- I'm on my way from settlement
on the house on Steelmanville Road.
Bought at Sheriff's sale.
How do I flip this thing around.
[Male Lead Character] As you can see,
the weather is not the greatest.
It's a nice rainy day,
but I want to be able to show you guys
what the house looks like at first sight.
There it is.
Not bad for a Sheriff's sale huh?
Okay, let's go have a look.
It has four bedrooms,
five and a half baths,
a full basement.
What else?
It sits on nine acres.
Looks like the bank had somebody
keep coming and mowing the lawn.
So they kept on top of that.
But, apparently, nobody
remembered to tell the press
to stop delivering.
Oh no, come on.
Well, the electric is off.
Why wouldn't they take their
personal belongings with them?
Obviously, a religious bunch.
I understand not being able to
make your mortgage payments,
but why won't you take
your stuff with you.
There's probably a couple thousand dollars
worth of stuff in here I can sell.
That's the oldest Bible I have ever seen.
Well it's getting late on a Friday,
so let me try and call
the electric company
and try to get power on
before I'm without it all weekend.
Okay.
So the electric company told me
they'll have power turned
on in a couple hours.
In the meantime, it's getting dark,
and I'm getting hungry.
So I am gonna go get something to eat.
I'm also going to get rid
of these signs of religion
so that this house I'm gonna
flip is politically correct.
Alright.
Shit.
I'll come back for them.
Yeah, she's a beaut.
Sorry, no offense towards anybody,
it's just that's the
day and age we live in.
I think I see light.
I think my friends at Atlantic
City Electric did me a solid.
I'm gonna make a fortune
flippin' this place.
Look at that.
Let's take a look at what we got.
Now we can go inside
and take a look around.
What the fuck?
Did I leave that open?
What the hell?
The hell?
Hello?
Yeah I'm still here.
Alright, once you reset that,
am I gonna be able to see
all the cameras on the feed?
Alright, that's good.
These people have cameras everywhere.
Every room, outside, even the bedrooms.
The only place they don't
have them is the bathrooms.
Yeah, well, I'm glad you
could get these working
because I went out last night.
I just got settled on the house yesterday.
I go out and I come back,
somebody had broken in.
No, it doesn't look
like they took anything.
The house is full of good stuff though.
I mean these people just up and left here.
What now?
Oh shit, there I am.
Yeah, it's working.
Can you see me?
Yeah, well, don't be watching me sleep.
So I'll be able to see
every camera through here.
Can I hook this up to a VCR somehow?
Oh, that's cool.
So I can download it anywhere,
or access it anywhere?
How long does it record for?
And then it just loops
and starts recording over the old stuff?
You have longer?
What's the cost for longer than 24 hours?
No, a week would be good.
Alright, that's what I want.
I want a week.
And then just put it
on the same card, okay?
Zach, your the best.
Your saving my house.
Alright man.
Thanks.
Oh, in there dining room.
I wonder if this thing works.
These things are like $400.
(vacuum running)
Bonus.
Oh, there you are.
Nice tile floor.
(objects crashing down downstairs)
Hey, god damnmt.
What the fuck?
Who's in here?
God Dammit.
Come on out!
I'm calling the fucking cops.
Who's down there?
Hey!
Yo dude, my house got broken into again.
No, because the only thing
that records on this app
is whatever camera I'm watching.
So that doesn't do any good.
All I got is video of me
walking around the house
from room to room.
Yeah, I was upstairs in the bedroom
and all of a sudden I
heard this crash downstairs
and I came running downstairs
and everything was all fucked
up in the living room again.
Can you access the files?
Well I don't need it right now.
But do me a favor, see if
you can access the files.
And if you can, email me,
or send me a video file.
Where do I set that?
Alright, I see it.
So I want to switch that on?
And now that will record all the cameras?
Alright good.
Yeah.
Every door in the house was locked,
so now I gotta change all the locks
because obviously whoever
this is has a key.
And the cops were here, and
they walked through the house.
And they're looking at me
like I'm a fucking idiot.
Alright.
And it'll still record for a week.
Yeah, that's fine.
Alright man.
Thanks a lot.
Fuck my life.
God Dammit.
(birds chirping)
Oh, come on.
You've gotta be shitting me.
What now?
Nope.
(low rumbling)
Who the fuck is doing this?
Get the fuck out of my house!
Hello?
(footsteps walking down stairs)
Jesus, it's freezing down here.
Oh, come on!
Jesus.
What is this smell?
Where is the...?
Jesus.
Well the solar light works.
Everything else is out.
They got power down there.
I see streetlights.
And down there I see lights on a house.
How'd I win this lottery.
So, if it's not at the
street, at the pole,
it's gotta be inside.
Ah, here we go.
Well that doesn't do anything.
(knocking)
What is that?
Jesus, it's cold up here too.
It's like 30 degrees warmer outside
than in the house for that matter.
It's gotta be a vent
from downstairs up here.
It freaking stinks.
Yeah, Merry Fucking Christmas.
Oh good, thank god.
Oh shit.
Let me not break my neck here.
(pouring rain)
(screwdriver)
Alright, my little visitors.
That ought to keep you out.
Now, I want to go research
the property a little more
on this rainy day.
Okay, I'm checking out
the rest of the house.
Oh, maybe I'll find keys for that inside.
It's a nice shed though.
Can't get through the basement,
so I'll come out here.
Oh sweet!
Hopefully that runs.
I gotta change my estimate
for what I can get selling
shit they left behind.
Now this is a powerful
air conditioner folks.
I'm telling you when I'm inside,
that thing runs like crazy.
It'll blow you right off the toilet seat
if you're under the vent.
Let's see what's out in the back backyard.
Man, whoever buys this place
can clear out this whole lot.
See what I told you about
that air conditioner,
if I could hold this still.
Look how it blows the blinds.
Okay, we're going deep.
This property goes all the
way back to the marshes.
Actually, it goes beyond that,
but we're not going out there.
And I see reeds.
Alright this is the marshes,
so we're not going any further.
What the hell is that?
I don't know if you can see that,
but it says Ben,
and this thing...
(musicbox song)
That's going on Ebay right there.
But unfortunately, Ben, I
hope you were a family pet.
Unfortunately, I don't want anybody
finding this shit back here, so.
Getting rid of all that.
This thing is probably 75 years old.
Ben must have liked his music.
It's the house from the back.
Probably got ticks now everywhere.
That air conditioner is strong as shit.
(birds chirping)
(attic door closing)
Come on.
Dammit.
Well, so, hang on,
let me see if I can
switch this thing around.
I guess I can't while I'm filming.
They stopped mowing the lawn.
I was hoping that lawnmower would start.
And it doesn't.
The good news is however,
on the lawnmower key ring,
I also found these keys,
which I bet, open the shed.
Let's see if I win this lottery.
I don't know why I feel
the need to document
every moment of my life.
Ah hah!
Dun dun dun!
Well, it's a nice sturdy shed.
And bonus!
Another bonus!
If this starts.
This thing looks brand new.
If this thing starts,
it's another $400-$500.
That's an old slideshow projector.
Somebody won a few trophies.
Oh shit.
When you find a graveyard in the backyard,
this is not what you want to find.
Oh boy.
I sure hope that ain't
what's buried back there.
The fuck is this?
Holy shit I probably shouldn't
be touching this stuff,
it's probably evidence.
I joke, that could be what it is.
Let's see what we have in here.
Oh, that's great.
No wonder I couldn't find
a knife in the house.
Alright.
(attic door closing)
(snoring)
(cell phone ringing)
Hello?
Yeah, man.
How's it going?
Hey, I changed all the locks in the house.
And somehow, somebody got
in here again last night.
I had a power outage, and I
don't know if it fucked up
all the cameras or what,
but every time I look at the footage,
it was like the motion sensors went off,
but there was a delay
in the camera starting.
Like the people walked off screen
and then the camera started
filming, whoever it was.
And I'm kind of freaked out
because I'm staying here
and I was in my room
and this person is in the house.
I mean, I don't know, other
than hire private security,
I don't know what to do.
What?
Try me.
Oh good, so you saw all the footage.
Were you able to see their faces?
What are you talking about?
Are you talking about the day
I first moved in the house?
When I was upstairs and
heard all the furniture move.
What do you mean?
Zach, the furniture couldn't
have moved by itself.
Somebody had to be in there.
What email did you send it to?
Okay, I got it.
God dammit.
Oh fuck.
Who's in here?
God dammit.
Dude, how the hell is this possible?
Yeah, I'm looking at it.
This can't be possible.
Now we have to change all
the locks because obviously
whoever this is has a key.
And the cops were here and
they walked through the house
and they're looking at me
like I'm a fucking idiot.
The fuck is going on?
When?
Where?
I know you're in here.
Mom, Dad, is this you?
This is ridiculous.
Why are you doing this to me?
I'm not scared, I'm a Christian.
You can't hurt me.
(screeching)
Stop it.
What are you trying to keep me
from coming down here to see?
It's either screwed
shut from the other side
or something's leaning up against it.
(clawing)
What the hell was that?
What the hell was that?
What the hell was that?
I want to show you something I found out.
Remember this?
Well watch what happens.
Are you Ben's toy?
("Twinkle Twinkle Little Star")
Ben, are you here right now?
("Twinkle Twinkle Little Star")
Ben, do you like this toy?
("Twinkle Twinkle Little Star")
Ben, were you a dog?
Were you a cat?
Were you a family pet?
Ben, were you a human?
("Twinkle Twinkle Little Star")
Get the fuck out of here.
Ben, did you use to live in this house?
("Twinkle Twinkle Little Star")
You're fucking kidding me.
Ben, did somebody hurt you?
(table crashing)
Holy fuck!
("Twinkle Twinkle Little Star")
Well, you all saw that.
And I'm not a big believer
in paranormal stuff.
When I see these videos and
hear people talk about ghosts,
I always think it's bullshit.
But you saw that.
I was talking to that
thing, and it was spinning,
and it jumped when I asked
if it got hurt in this house.
I don't know.
On one hand, I feel better
because I know there's not
people breaking into this house
that are gonna try and
stab me while I'm sleeping.
But on the other hand,
having ghosts or spirits in the
house is a little bit creepy
and it's not gonna exactly
make it easy to sell.
I do know one thing.
I'm gonna do a little Googling
of the previous owners of this house
and find out what their story was, or is.
But this is just more than an
intelligent mind can handle.
Anyway, I'll keep you posted.
Yeah, I'm still here.
Yes, the house on Steelmanville Road.
I bought it at auction.
I've been doing some research
and actually looked up
the previous owners.
And do you know what I found?
Their obituaries, they both died here.
Actually, they were both murdered here.
By law, you're required to
disclose that to anybody
that's purchasing a home.
What do you mean not in New Jersey?
I know I bought the house as is.
But that means like plumbing problems,
or electrical problems, or a bad roof,
not like somebody's been
slaughtered in the house.
So wait, you're telling me,
you only have to me of a violent
death or murder if I ask?
I mean who thinks to ask
a question like that?
That's bullshit.
I'll talk to you however I want.
Yes, I know what caveat emptor means.
Do you know what go fuck yourself means?
Fuck you, you fucking whore!
God Dammit!
So anyway, I got this
riding lawnmower started,
and decided to mow back here
behind the fenced in backyard
where I found the music
box and Ben's grave.
Ironically, I can't
find the music box now.
But anyway, this is how I found the grave.
I'm not gonna overthink it,
but there's enough weird stuff going on.
All I know is, I'm done
mowing for the day,
because I got an odor
to track down inside.
Okay, all the air freshener
in the world isn't helping.
Something must be dead
upstairs in that attic.
And if I ever want to sell this house,
I gotta find out what it is.
So I'm looking forward
to whatever treasure awaits me there.
Okay, I'm getting it.
That's where you want me to go.
God, it stinks up here!
I don't know what I'm looking for.
It doesn't smell as bad over here.
Oh boy.
Uh.
Let me set my phone down here.
Over a shattered cross.
Do I want to know?
Oh, what the fuck is this?
Voodoo.
Oh boy.
Why would this be here?
All I know is this shit's got to go.
Lemme go find something to pack it up.
(clawing)
Oh, that's fucking great.
All this shit's got to go.
All this shit has got to go.
Even that.
(birds chirping)
(water running)
(baby crying)
(door creaking)
I know you're there.
Ben.
What do you want?
Are you the former owners?
I can feel the change in temperature.
I know that you're here.
Matt and Rachel, is that you?
("Twinkle Twinkle Little Star")
It's that smell again.
I cleaned everything out from up here,
So I don't know the source of it.
The fuck is that?
This is where the altar was.
And I don't know what this is.
I'm gonna try and brace up the phone.
Alright, there we go.
Alright.
Now, I can smell in this area.
It's ashes, and it's got the same smell.
Come on.
Are you seeing this?
Of course you are.
What?
Not your home.
Well I got news for you.
It is my home.
You don't scare me.
Do you want me out of here?
You better do more than paint and dirt.
Look, I'm not scared of you.
You need to get out of my house.
That's right.
It's my house.
Every penny I had, I put into this place.
I'm not leaving.
You're not scaring me outta here.
And if it's a fight you want.
Bring it on.
That's right, go away.
Stop!
(choking breaths)
Stop it!
(crying)
Why are you doing this to me?
All this shit, outta here right now!
Fucking attacking me!
Well guess what?
You're going someplace you
ain't coming back from.
Fucking ghosts want to
fuck with me, demons.
I got something for you.
Think I'm gonna lose my
entire life fucking savings
over some haunting bullshit.
Some satanic bullshit the
last people that lived here
fucking got their asses handed to em.
Yeah, feel familiar Ben?
Sorry Ben!
Now stay the fuck in there.
You better be the fuck out of my house!
Here you fucks.
Good thing they didn't pick up the trash.
Guess trash day is tomorrow.
See this?
And this?
Gone.
Look what's back.
The Lord's Prayer.
Right where it belongs.
Deal with it.
And the cross.
Come on.
Now what does your guidebook say.
Revelations right?
Inside the Bible, I found this.
A child's drawing.
It's this house and there's
Daddy, there's Mommy.
There's Ben, but he calls
himself Good Ben here,
and then down in the
basement where I can't get,
is Bad Ben.
This is no longer your home.
It's time for you to cross over.
Peace awaits you there.
This is no longer your home.
It's time for you to cross over.
Peace awaits you there.
This is no longer your home.
It's time for you to cross over.
Peace awaits you there.
This is no longer your home.
It's time for you to cross over.
Peace awaits you there.
This is no longer your home.
It's time for you to cross over.
Peace awaits you there.
This is no longer your home.
It's time to cross over.
Peace awaits you there.
This is no longer your home.
It's time to cross over.
Peace awaits you there.
In the name of Jesus Christ,
I banish you, get out!
(lawnmower engine)
(leafblower engine)
Everything's been calm.
Yeah, it's been good.
No problems.
Now, I'm just gonna list this place.
But after the week I've been through,
I'm going out to dinner.
If you'd be interested in
a great deal, let me know.
Come on, ain't nothing like
a little ghost to scare you!
There she is, Steelmanville Road.
It felt good to get out
and get something to eat.
Hopefully, hopefully, the
problems here are behind me
because I don't know what to do.
I've got every penny I own in this house
and I gotta flip this or I'm destroyed.
This is sure one long, dark road
out to the middle of nowhere.
What were these people doing?
Witchcraft, satanism, I mean their kid.
And what's this Bad Ben story.
All I know is I just
gotta get this thing moved
and get the hell outta here.
It's just an old, creepy road.
A lot creepier than I'm used to.
I remember how I excited
I was the first night
I drove here and started this video log.
All excited to show the people
the great purchase I made.
I don't even know who the hell I'd show
any of these videos to now.
They'd think I'm crazy.
I am crazy.
The voodoo dolls.
Apparently the former
owners have made their way
back in the house.
That's it.
God Dammit!
That's it.
This time you're mine.
This is it!
This is it!
It's you and me this time.
(coughing)
God damn, it stinks in here.
And it's freezing fucking cold man.
What the fuck!
I thought I was done with this.
Here's our famous basement
camera that doesn't work.
Set the phone down here.
Plug that back in.
Fuck, I knocked myself out.
Who the fuck did that?
Well something wanted outta here bad.
(door closing)
(coughing)
Oh god, that doesn't look good.
Thank god.
Where's that smell coming from?
What the fuck is this?
(screeching)
(yelling)
No, no, no!
Please, no no!
(yelling)

(birds chirping)
(attic door closing)
Come on.
Dammit.
Well, so, hang on,
let me see if I can
switch this thing around.
I guess I can't while I'm filming.
They stopped mowing the lawn.
I was hoping that lawnmower would start.
And it doesn't.
The good news is however,
on the lawnmower key ring,
I also found these keys,
which I bet, open the shed.
Let's see if I win this lottery.
I don't know why I feel
the need to document
every moment of my life.
Ah hah!
Dun dun dun!
Well, it's a nice sturdy shed.
And bonus!
Another bonus!
If this starts.
This thing looks brand new.
If this thing starts,
it's another $400-$500.
That's an old slideshow projector.
Somebody won a few trophies.
Oh shit.
When you find a graveyard in the backyard,
this is not what you want to find.
Oh boy.
I sure hope that ain't
what's buried back there.
The fuck is this?
Holy shit I probably shouldn't
be touching this stuff,
it's probably evidence.
I joke, that could be what it is.
Let's see what we have in here.
Oh, that's great.
No wonder I couldn't find
a knife in the house.
Alright.
(attic door closing)
(snoring)
(cell phone ringing)
Hello?
Yeah, man.
How's it going?
Hey, I changed all the locks in the house.
And somehow, somebody got
in here again last night.
I had a power outage, and I
don't know if it fucked up
all the cameras or what,
but every time I look at the footage,
it was like the motion sensors went off,
but there was a delay
in the camera starting.
Like the people walked off screen
and then the camera started
filming, whoever it was.
And I'm kind of freaked out
because I'm staying here
and I was in my room
and this person is in the house.
I mean, I don't know, other
than hire private security,
I don't know what to do.
What?
Try me.
Oh good, so you saw all the footage.
Were you able to see their faces?
What are you talking about?
Are you talking about the day
I first moved in the house?
When I was upstairs and
heard all the furniture move.
What do you mean?
Zach, the furniture couldn't
have moved by itself.
Somebody had to be in there.
What email did you send it to?
Okay, I got it.
God dammit.
Oh fuck.
Who's in here?
God dammit.
Dude, how the hell is this possible?
Yeah, I'm looking at it.
This can't be possible.
Now we have to change all
the locks because obviously
whoever this is has a key.
And the cops were here and
they walked through the house
and they're looking at me
like I'm a fucking idiot.
The fuck is going on?
When?
Where?
I know you're in here.
Mom, Dad, is this you?
This is ridiculous.
Why are you doing this to me?
I'm not scared, I'm a Christian.
You can't hurt me.
(screeching)
Stop it.
What are you trying to keep me
from coming down here to see?
It's either screwed
shut from the other side
or something's leaning up against it.
(clawing)
What the hell was that?
What the hell was that?
What the hell was that?
I want to show you something I found out.
Remember this?
Well watch what happens.
Are you Ben's toy?
("Twinkle Twinkle Little Star")
Ben, are you here right now?
("Twinkle Twinkle Little Star")
Ben, do you like this toy?
("Twinkle Twinkle Little Star")
Ben, were you a dog?
Were you a cat?
Were you a family pet?
Ben, were you a human?
("Twinkle Twinkle Little Star")
Get the fuck out of here.
Ben, did you use to live in this house?
("Twinkle Twinkle Little Star")
You're fucking kidding me.
Ben, did somebody hurt you?
(table crashing)
Holy fuck!
("Twinkle Twinkle Little Star")
Well, you all saw that.
And I'm not a big believer
in paranormal stuff.
When I see these videos and
hear people talk about ghosts,
I always think it's bullshit.
But you saw that.
I was talking to that
thing, and it was spinning,
and it jumped when I asked
if it got hurt in this house.
I don't know.
On one hand, I feel better
because I know there's not
people breaking into this house
that are gonna try and
stab me while I'm sleeping.
But on the other hand,
having ghosts or spirits in the
house is a little bit creepy
and it's not gonna exactly
make it easy to sell.
I do know one thing.
I'm gonna do a little Googling
of the previous owners of this house
and find out what their story was, or is.
But this is just more than an
intelligent mind can handle.
Anyway, I'll keep you posted.
Yeah, I'm still here.
Yes, the house on Steelmanville Road.
I bought it at auction.
I've been doing some research
and actually looked up
the previous owners.
And do you know what I found?
Their obituaries, they both died here.
Actually, they were both murdered here.
By law, you're required to
disclose that to anybody
that's purchasing a home.
What do you mean not in New Jersey?
I know I bought the house as is.
But that means like plumbing problems,
or electrical problems, or a bad roof,
not like somebody's been
slaughtered in the house.
So wait, you're telling me,
you only have to me of a violent
death or murder if I ask?
I mean who thinks to ask
a question like that?
That's bullshit.
I'll talk to you however I want.
Yes, I know what caveat emptor means.
Do you know what go fuck yourself means?
Fuck you, you fucking whore!
God Dammit!
So anyway, I got this
riding lawnmower started,
and decided to mow back here
behind the fenced in backyard
where I found the music
box and Ben's grave.
Ironically, I can't
find the music box now.
But anyway, this is how I found the grave.
I'm not gonna overthink it,
but there's enough weird stuff going on.
All I know is, I'm done
mowing for the day,
because I got an odor
to track down inside.
Okay, all the air freshener
in the world isn't helping.
Something must be dead
upstairs in that attic.
And if I ever want to sell this house,
I gotta find out what it is.
So I'm looking forward
to whatever treasure awaits me there.
Okay, I'm getting it.
That's where you want me to go.
God, it stinks up here!
I don't know what I'm looking for.
It doesn't smell as bad over here.
Oh boy.
Uh.
Let me set my phone down here.
Over a shattered cross.
Do I want to know?
Oh, what the fuck is this?
Voodoo.
Oh boy.
Why would this be here?
All I know is this shit's got to go.
Lemme go find something to pack it up.
(clawing)
Oh, that's fucking great.
All this shit's got to go.
All this shit has got to go.
Even that.
(birds chirping)
(water running)
(baby crying)
(door creaking)
I know you're there.
Ben.
What do you want?
Are you the former owners?
I can feel the change in temperature.
I know that you're here.
Matt and Rachel, is that you?
("Twinkle Twinkle Little Star")
It's that smell again.
I cleaned everything out from up here,
So I don't know the source of it.
The fuck is that?
This is where the altar was.
And I don't know what this is.
I'm gonna try and brace up the phone.
Alright, there we go.
Alright.
Now, I can smell in this area.
It's ashes, and it's got the same smell.
Come on.
Are you seeing this?
Of course you are.
What?
Not your home.
Well I got news for you.
It is my home.
You don't scare me.
Do you want me out of here?
You better do more than paint and dirt.
Look, I'm not scared of you.
You need to get out of my house.
That's right.
It's my house.
Every penny I had, I put into this place.
I'm not leaving.
You're not scaring me outta here.
And if it's a fight you want.
Bring it on.
That's right, go away.
Stop!
(choking breaths)
Stop it!
(crying)
Why are you doing this to me?
All this shit, outta here right now!
Fucking attacking me!
Well guess what?
You're going someplace you
ain't coming back from.
Fucking ghosts want to
fuck with me, demons.
I got something for you.
Think I'm gonna lose my
entire life fucking savings
over some haunting bullshit.
Some satanic bullshit the
last people that lived here
fucking got their asses handed to em.
Yeah, feel familiar Ben?
Sorry Ben!
Now stay the fuck in there.
You better be the fuck out of my house!
Here you fucks.
Good thing they didn't pick up the trash.
Guess trash day is tomorrow.
See this?
And this?
Gone.
Look what's back.
The Lord's Prayer.
Right where it belongs.
Deal with it.
And the cross.
Come on.
Now what does your guidebook say.
Revelations right?
Inside the Bible, I found this.
A child's drawing.
It's this house and there's
Daddy, there's Mommy.
There's Ben, but he calls
himself Good Ben here,
and then down in the
basement where I can't get,
is Bad Ben.
This is no longer your home.
It's time for you to cross over.
Peace awaits you there.
This is no longer your home.
It's time for you to cross over.
Peace awaits you there.
This is no longer your home.
It's time for you to cross over.
Peace awaits you there.
This is no longer your home.
It's time for you to cross over.
Peace awaits you there.
This is no longer your home.
It's time for you to cross over.
Peace awaits you there.
This is no longer your home.
It's time to cross over.
Peace awaits you there.
This is no longer your home.
It's time to cross over.
Peace awaits you there.
In the name of Jesus Christ,
I banish you, get out!
(lawnmower engine)
(leafblower engine)
Everything's been calm.
Yeah, it's been good.
No problems.
Now, I'm just gonna list this place.
But after the week I've been through,
I'm going out to dinner.
If you'd be interested in
a great deal, let me know.
Come on, ain't nothing like
a little ghost to scare you!
There she is, Steelmanville Road.
It felt good to get out
and get something to eat.
Hopefully, hopefully, the
problems here are behind me
because I don't know what to do.
I've got every penny I own in this house
and I gotta flip this or I'm destroyed.
This is sure one long, dark road
out to the middle of nowhere.
What were these people doing?
Witchcraft, satanism, I mean their kid.
And what's this Bad Ben story.
All I know is I just
gotta get this thing moved
and get the hell outta here.
It's just an old, creepy road.
A lot creepier than I'm used to.
I remember how I excited
I was the first night
I drove here and started this video log.
All excited to show the people
the great purchase I made.
I don't even know who the hell I'd show
any of these videos to now.
They'd think I'm crazy.
I am crazy.
The voodoo dolls.
Apparently the former
owners have made their way
back in the house.
That's it.
God Dammit!
That's it.
This time you're mine.
This is it!
This is it!
It's you and me this time.
(coughing)
God damn, it stinks in here.
And it's freezing fucking cold man.
What the fuck!
I thought I was done with this.
Here's our famous basement
camera that doesn't work.
Set the phone down here.
Plug that back in.
Fuck, I knocked myself out.
Who the fuck did that?
Well something wanted outta here bad.
(door closing)
(coughing)
Oh god, that doesn't look good.
Thank god.
Where's that smell coming from?
What the fuck is this?
(screeching)
(yelling)
No, no, no!
Please, no no!
(yelling)
