The Haunting of Fringle House (2026) Movie Script
1
Evening, guys. I'm Charles Bright.
I'm the one that was on the phone.
Now, which of you is
Eric and which is Derek?
Derek.
Eric.
And y'all are brothers?
Yeah.
Well, I want to show my
gratitude to you for now.
Where's the money?
With as much as I'm giving, I got to
have your assurance this is going to work.
We're professionals, Mr. Bright.
You want to save some money, go
burn some sage or buy a Ouija board.
How long is it going to take?
From what you've told us, we should
be dealing with a class one spirit.
Shouldn't take long.
Class one?
Class one.
She likes to play the piano.
Guys, are you sure you
know how to handle this?
Did you ever hear of the Boise
Blooded Ballerina, Mr. Bright?
She haunted the theater
where she died for 40 years.
That was a real class
five spirit. We took care of
her in one night.
One night, you did?
We'll take care of your ghost problem.
All right. Well, you better.
Lights are dead.
Power must be out.
Grab your gear.
Who the hell would
live in a place like this?
Grandma would live here.
Grandma's legally blind.
Can you find me?
Behind you.
It's definitely in here.
The EMF reader's at
least 43.6 above standard
parsecs. It's got to be a class three.
Get the spirit box.
Spirit box?
Yeah.
There's something upstairs.
In the attic.
We're not going.
What are you doing? We're not going.
Okay.
We're not going.
Settle down.
It's just a mannequin.
All right. Based on the earlier EFreadings, we know that there was a ghost
in this house. But now that Derek
and I have cleared it with our trusty
AATD,
it's going to be neutralized. So,
whether you've got a spook, spirit,
or specter, we're at your service.
This house
is Ghost Brothers certified safe.
Is Ghost Brothers certified safe.
Okay, I got it.
Thanks.
All right.
Hey.
Wait. Where are you going?
Call someone else.
But you're the professionals.
I want my money back.
No refunds.
What the hell is this?
Hello, Natalie.
Mr. Dandridge. How are you today?
Me?
I'm great.
So, I'm in front of your
property, and there's
a Tanner Kincaid sign
out front, and it says it's
sold.
Mr. Dandridge, are you still there?
Yes. About that,
we decided to go with Tanner Kincaid.
But we had a signed agreement.
Well, Tanner pointed out that since we
hadn't sent it in yet, that we could switch.
Look,
we're real sorry.
Tanner just really fought for us.
We really do appreciate the hard
work that you put in, in
getting the process started.
Okay. Well, congratulations on your sale.
No, no, Sam, I really think now
is our time. I feel good about this.
What the-
What are you looking at?
Tanner.
Oh. Oh, okay.
Ugh.
Where are you going?
Wow. Looking good.
Sarcasm,
the last resort of a loser.
You could afford a $3,000 suit
if you sold 20 houses a month.
Wait,
you sold 20 houses this month?
Dandridge was 20.
Wait, wait. You sold the Dandridge house?
Closed the deal last night.
Well, that was supposed
to be Nat's property.
Nat couldn't sell water to a well.
Nat is... I mean, she might
not be my favorite person,
but she's good. I respect her. She's a
legend.
Nat is last week's news.
I'm making headlines now.
And you could be too,
if you play your cards right.
Oh.
Yeah, I think I'll play
my own hand. Thank you.
You've got ambition,
Carlisle. I'll give you that.
But you've been in the industry for
two years? You've sold
how many houses?
Oh, that's right, five. And
in a seller's market, too.
Do you have a point?
All I'm saying is,
maybe you shouldn't have
given up on your singing career.
I have my sources.
Time to go.
Did you tell him about Melody?
No.
Then how does he know?
I don't know. Google?
Sam,
I'm serious.
Sorry. I had too many
drinks at the Christmas party.
Sam.
Look, I don't know what the big deal is.
You were a teenage pop star for a minute.
Who cares?
Morning, Nat.
Thanks.
Mm-hmm.
I had the Dandridge house first.
Oh, go take care of these customers.
I had a buyer for the Dandridge house.
I was set to close next week.
And?
And they signed with Tanner yesterday.
I know.
I had it first.
They called and canceled the agreement.
And you didn't bother to tell me?
Nat, that's how this works. People
switch their real estate agent-
No.
That was my commission.
I'm sorry, Nat.
This is bt.
Can I help you?
Yes. Mr. Iqbal is here to
see Mr. Charles. Is he in?
Yes. Around the corner, to the right.
Thank you so much.
Who's that?
I love his car.
You already have a Bentley.
Can't have too many Bentleys.
Who was that?
Come on.
I've got something to tell you.
What's going on, Charles?
Guys, we're in trouble.
Well, what kind of trouble?
Tanner's running the table
on all the listings in our area.
Guys, our numbers are way low.
So was that guy a loan shark?
That guy
was Mr. Iqbal,
real estate investor.
Mm-hmm.
He owns more properties than we
could ever handle, and luck would have
it,
he's looking for somebody
to start selling his properties.
Oh, well, that's great. Doesn't
that mean the business won't
go under?
Well,
before he's willing to make the agreement,
he asked us to do one task.
Go on.
He acquired the Frengle house.
He wants us to sell that house
before he gives us the contract.
Great. We just sell that
thing and get the contract.
Nat, it's not that easy.
Of course it is.
The house is haunted.
It is not.
It's true. I've heard the ghost.
She plays piano every night.
That's a myth.
I heard it.
You did?
I was there last night.
I hired the Ghost Brothers
to come and check it out.
You hired the Ghost Brothers?
Oh, what happened?
The Ghost Brothers ran out,
took half my money with them.
Well, did they get rid of the ghost?
So we sell the house and get the contract.
Okay, were you not just listening?
First, we get rid of the ghost,
and then we sell the house,
and then get the contract.
But first, we get rid of the ghost.
Exactly. Okay, now look,
I know you two don't like
each other, but I need your help.
I need your game face on.
Fine. I will sell the house,
but I want first dibs on
all the other properties.
Okay, done.
No, but I can sell that house, too.
Aren't you afraid of ghosts?
Well...
Guys,
I'll tell you what we'll do. Whichever
one of you gets the ghost out
gets to sell the house.
Fine.
Oh, but let me tell you,
we've got two days to do it.
We got two days to find a buyer.
You can get in tomorrow afternoon.
Tomorrow is Halloween.
That is the day when
the veil between the living
and the dead is the weakest,
allowing the spirits to be at their most
powerful.
Guys, there's no better
time than the present.
Look,
we've got two days.
If you guys don't find a buyer,
we're out of a job.
Happy Halloween.
"Here lies Mrs. Frengle.
May her voice sing through the generation."
Yes, and still be heard today.
Mandy, Mrs. Frengle is dead. She is in her
grave. There's a rational
explanation for what people
hear.
Yes.
Ms. Frengle.
Ghost lore is-House or other building often
perceived as being inhabited
by disembodied spirits
of the deceased who
may have been former residents
or connected to the property.
Parapsychologists often attribute
haunting to the spirits of the
dead who have suffered from violent or
tragic events in the building's past,
such as murder, accidental death,
or suicide.
You sure do know a lot about ghosts.
In a majority of cases,
upon scientific investigation,
alternative causes to
supernatural phenomenon are to be
found at fault, such as
hoaxes, environmental
effects, hallucinations,
or confirmation biases.
Common symptoms of hauntings like
cold spots and creaking or knocking sounds
can be found in most homes, regardless of
suspected paranormal presences.
People are more likely to
experience a haunting when they are
about to fall asleep,
when waking, if they are
intoxicated, or sleep-deprived.
Wikipedia.
I love Wikipedia.
Okay, Mandy.
Now's the time to prove yourself.
Are you a lion or a sheep?
I can't believe you got me
hunting for ghosts on Halloween.
No better time to hunt a
ghost than Halloween night.
Girl, please.
Hey.
Hi.
You really going to take a picture of that?
Sure. Detail sale.
Yeah.
Wow, this is some great room.
This is going to be an easy sale.
Yeah. It's amazing. It's just
it's really too bad that it's-
Oh, don't say it
haunted.
Is there a light switch?
Probably
over...
Are you sure
you don't think there's a ghost?
Motion sensor.
In this house?
Sure.
Why don't you go upstairs
and take some pictures?
Yeah. I should go upstairs first.
What?
Tired?
Are you kidding me?
I jog eight miles a day.
Okay.
Nat,
Nat.
What?
What's that?
What's that?
This? Let me turn on the light.
It's a mannequin. You
brought me here for this?
I didn't... Well, we were
both looking up here.
This is-
I know, but still.
I thought it was a person. Please.
Let's go.
Oh, my goodness.
That's too
scary.
Oh, my God.
It's just the doorbell.
Yes.
Okay?
Yeah.
All right.
Okay.
Sorry.
Trick or treat!
I don't have any candy.
We'll take money.
Oh, you will?
All right. Pay the kids, Nat.
Happy Halloween.
Thank you.
You're welcome. Bye bye.
Sweetie,
turn off the light, okay?
Sweetie.
I'm not a kid. You know what?
Let's just have a truce, okay? We
both want to sell this house, so may the
best agent win.
I was selling houses in this town
when you were in grade school.
There's no debate over
who is the better agent.
Okay. Well, then there is no reason
why you should feel threatened by
me.
I'm not.
You know why people think this house is
haunted?
Because it is?
Because it's old.
No. Didn't you hear a few years ago,
those kids that came in here and they never
came back out?
That's an urban legend.
No, it's true.
Where did you hear that from?
My brother, because he was friends with
the cousin of the guy who actually came in
here and-
Credible source.
Don't break anything.
Where are you going?
Upstairs.
Nat?
Nat?
Oh, you are not going
to scare me into leaving.
Scare you? You're trying to scare me.
No, you're the one that moved
the teapot and the teacup.
I have been upstairs,
and I found your dolls,
and I saw your mannequins.
Okay. I have no idea what you're
talking about. I didn't touch anything.
Sure.
Where are you going?
Lock the doors.
Why?
Why?
We're going to get to the bottom of this,
and we're not leaving until we do.
And we're going to stay together
from here out.
Fine.
So,
what did you see?
Dolls.
So?
They were moved,
and the light bulb.
Light bulb?
Yes, and the mannequin.
Okay. I swear, I don't know
what you're talking about.
I didn't touch anything.
So you
didn't move the tea kettle?
No.
Well, then it
must've been Miss Pringle, huh?
Well, that's a possibility
But assuming
there
isn't a ghost,
what could it be?
I guess
it could be someone messing with us?
Yes.
Someone human.
Okay, wait. Wait, wait, wait.
I am not doing that-
Okay
right now.
Okay. Okay.
What's that smell?
Oh, wait a minute. Come
on, let's get out of here.
Oh, I thought we weren't leaving, though.
We won't for a ghost,
but we will for a fire.
Oh, come on.
This way, this way, come on.
You still don't believe that
this place is not haunted?
It can't be.
Oh.
Oh my God. Oh, I'm sick of this st.
Whoever's doing this, knock it off.
Oh, yeah, I'm sure
that the ghost will listen.
Fk you, hell.
Oh, I'm out of here.
Go. Go.
I'm out of here. Oh.
No, no. Let me try.
I got this.
No, no, no. You're kind of on the wrong
side of 40 to be doing this, so let me in.
Let us out.
Oh, geez. You're talking to the ghost?
Look,
there's no such
thing.
Okay, let me try.
Okay. One, two, three. Oh.
Oh, Sam.
Sorry.
There was smoke on the
main floor. Are you okay?
Yeah. Yeah, I think so.
How did you get in here?
The front door was open.
It was?
Yeah.
Uh, what's so funny?
You two did this.
Did what?
If you think you're
going to get rid of me that
easily...
Nat, we didn't do anything.
I gotta admit, you almost had me.
Okay, can someone catch me up to speed?
Yeah, Nat thinks that we
are pulling pranks on her like
kids.
I literally just got here.
Sure it was. That was
you at the front door.
No, it wasn't. Call Charles. I
was at the office until about
five minutes ago.
I bet your voice was
on the radio, wasn't it?
Nat, I just said we didn't do anything.
So what's the next trick?
The power went out.
Sure. How convenient.
The breaker must have been
pulled.
Okay, Nat, how could we pull the
breaker when we are right here?
Somebody may have helped you. Who?
Is Charles in on this?
See, you all are trying to mess with me.
There must be a breaker.
Yes, let's go look for it.
Okay.
Oh, you guys, wait a second. My phone is...
What?
Breaker's probably in the attic. Let's go.
Guys.
You guys, I know where
the breaker is, just...
Nat?
Yeah, yeah. Come here.
Whoa,
check this out.
What?
It's the Ghost Brothers back.
What?
They have a public access TV show.
Whoa.
Oh, one less problem.
High five.
Uh-uh. Nope.
No.
Madigan?
Hey. I just want to play a game with you.
You don't want to leave. Please stay.
Oh, my God.
Stay with me
What?
Hey.
Who the hell are you?
Who the hell am I? Who the
hell are you? This is my house.
This is your house?
Yeah.
No.
Mm-mm.
Nobody lives here. This
house has been empty
for over a year.
I've been here for the past 10 years.
What's your name?
Beau.
Beau Buford.
The last owner of this house
was Helen Fringle.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah. I was her personal care attendant,
and I was here for the past five years
until she passed away, taking care of her.
Hmm.
So,
what?
You decided to stay here
after she died?
Yeah.
Towards the end,
given she had no next of kin, she
was going to leave the house to me.
So,
they deemed her mentally unfit to
change the will.
Sure. Likely story.
It's the truth.
So,
what's up with the mannequin?
I use it to scare people
off, they don't buy the house.
So you cut the power?
Who else would've done it?
Hmm. Maybe a
ghost.
A ghost?
There's no ghost.
So
You messed with the dolls,
you turned on and off the
lights, and you started the teapot?
All me.
I don't believe you.
Look,
I heard you talking about
selling the house and
snapping photos,
and I wanted you out of here.
So I thought I would just wait for you
upstairs, and eventually you'd come
up there, and I'd scare the
st out of you so you would
leave.
Can you tell us about her?
What?
Well, what was she
like?
She was incredible.
You loved her, didn't you?
What? What, me?
A ghost love story.
There's no ghost.
But I did love her.
So
Were you a little too old for...
No.
She was my mentor.
Just... Her eyes and
her hair, and the way she
moved, and
whenever I was just hurting
inside, she always knew what to say.
I mean, she was so strong.
I'd never met a woman like that before.
Can I go?
Why?
Why did she haunt this house,
Beau?
I'm not sure.
Aha. So there is a ghost.
Beau,
you're saying there
is a ghost?
Yes.
How did she die?
She had dementia.
She didn't even recognize
me when she was passing.
When did you first know
Ms. Fringle was here?
It was the week after she passed.
I went upstairs and started
to organize things, and
I heard this noise, this sound.
So I followed the sound, and
I went into the room, and
these dolls just walking
across the room, and
there were some in the corner, and it
scared the st out of me.
Did Helen do that?
Yeah.
She loved her tea.
What's with the dolls?
I don't know.
Towards the end,
she was always just in the room
playing with the dolls and having
tea,
just all day,
and I think it might
have kept her mind here
You know?
She needs to do something about the dolls.
Yeah, it took a while to get used to.
Have you seen her?
No.
Can you talk to her?
I tried.
Nothing.
Even if I could,
I don't think I could tell her she passed.
They say
ghosts can be seen in
candlelight.
Really?
Are you all for real?
Class one spirits can
be seen in candlelight.
How many classes are there?
Based on the "Ghost
Brothers" show, there are five
classes.
Class fives can be seen
in the day or night, and
they can choose to be
seen or not. They also know
that they're ghosts.
Let's try it.
Try what?
This candle thing.
You want to see Miss Ringel?
Do you want to save our jobs?
Let's do it.
Let's do this.
Are you sure this is going to work?
No, but we need to try.
Let's do this and get it over with.
What are you doing?
I don't know.
Maybe
I'm just
not ready to see if it's really her yet.
No.
Let's resolve this ghost thing.
Who knows what will happen
to this house if we don't.
Aunt Helen.
Well,
maybe the Ghost Brothers were full of st.
Or maybe
she's not here.
She was never really up here too much.
I'm out of here.
Who are you?
What are you doing in my house?
Did you see that?
Oh.
Oh,
gosh.
Was that
Miss Ringel?
She looks so young.
Ghosts sometimes, they
return to the prime of life,
forever young.
Okay.
Okay. Sam,
light the candle again.
Wait. No, no.
She didn't seem happy to see us.
I think we scared her.
We need to communicate with her.
We just need to remind her who she
is.
No, we need to sell the house
and let someone else deal with it.
Nat.
Bo.
Come on,
we can do this.
Fine.
Bo, talk to her.
Helen.
Who are you?
What are you doing here?
Helen,
it's me.
It's Bo.
You don't remember me?
Hello there.
My name is Natalie.
Do you know your name?
Do you know who you are?
Who are you?
Why are you in my house?
Your name is Helen Fringle.
This is your house.
Yes.
Yes. This is my house.
Why are you in it?
We are here to help you.
We're here to help you remember.
Come on, follow me.
Come on.
This is your home.
Beau?
Helen.
What happened?
You passed away.
How long have I been gone?
10 years.
10 years?
I don't want to live like this.
What do we need to do?
We need to get her to a holy ground,
a church or a cemetery or a prayer garden.
She'll find peace there.
How do we do that?
How do we take her to a holy ground?
Do ghosts ride in cars?
I'm not sure, actually.
Well, we better find out.
So,
what's a prayer garden?
It's a place of spiritual
energy used for prayer
or meditation. Usually, it's a natural
place
with a statue or other religious imagery.
Oh, hold up. Let me see this.
Is it like this?
Yeah.
Okay.
Tanner?
What are you doing here?
How'd you get in here?
I walked in.
But the door was locked.
I think you're dead.
What?
I'm not dead.
Yep, you're dead.
What?
This
can't be happening.
That's impossible.
That's what you get for being a pk.
This
does not work with my wardrobe.
You.
I will haunt you for the rest of your life.
Let's get out of here.
Oh, yes.
Oh, this is too much.
Come on.
Just
move
it. Move it.
We're stuck. Go. Go.
I'll suck your soul.
Okay. What's this?
Try me.
Okay. Okay.
It's an AED.
Okay.
It neutralizes their spirit energy.
How do you know all this?
How is he so powerful?
Oh my God.
Oh my God,
what did you do?
You know nothing about what you're doing.
Is she...
Where did he go?
Where did he go?
I'm not sure.
Where's Helen?
I'm everywhere.
The spirit energy must be overpowered
by Tanner's. He's a class four.
What did you say about holy ground?
Uh
We'll buy him some time.
Okay.
Okay.
What?
You have poopy pants.
You got boogers coming out of your nose.
Oh, did you over-pluck your brows, Tanner?
Yeah.
That was good.
Your breath stinks.
You have holes in your shirt.
Mm-hmm. That's not even fitted.
Did you even get it tailored, Tanner?
You can't afford new pants.
Your shirt's looking dirty.
Oh, no.
Do you know anything about brand naming?
These are absolutely gorgeous.
They cost more than your yearly salary.
Your butt looks like a
soggy waffle, Tanner.
Is that a Chia Pet on your chest?
Yeah. You're looking a little skinny.
Everything inside is just as
wonderful as what's on the
outside. Don't you understand?
The power of the
pectorals, the tight abs, the
slender, thin, tapered
areas through here, and the
perfectly flexed glutes.
You're hairy. You're a hairy, hairy
person and your hair's all over the
place, Tanner.
Oh, st, I didn't even do my hair.
Oh, buddy, that beard is
getting so patchy, it's like Swiss
cheese.
I will destroy you.
What did you do to me?
Holy ground.
Let me out.
Goodbye, Tanner.
You won't be rid of me.
We'll see about that.
Goodbye,
Bo.
Goodbye, Bo.
You sure you want to do this?
Yes.
Haunting a house is
no way to spend eternity.
I'm going to miss you.
I'm going to miss you.
I'm going to miss you.
But
we'll see one another again.
What's going to happen
to her when she passes on?
She will be at peace.
Are you going to be okay?
Yeah.
Can we get out of here now?
Bo, you coming?
Nah.
I'm just going to hang
out here for a little bit.
We survived.
Barely.
Thanks to Wikipedia.
Told you so.
What is he doing here?
Here, you go.
No.
No, you go. You
got
it.
Good morning, my friend.
Ghost has been handled.
They have?
They?
We had a surprise friend show up.
Interesting.
And Ms. Pringle?
She's at peace now.
Good. Knew you guys can do it.
You did?
We handled the ghost issue.
But I don't think that you
can close on the sale of
the house before the deadlines.
My associate will handle the paperwork.
Vinnie, if you please.
Here you are.
Thank you.
Is this for real?
Yes, ma'am.
So who is Mr. Iqbal really?
He's really not
a real estate investor, is he?
Well, he is a real estate investor, but
let's just say he has
somewhat of a soft spot for
the special tenants.
You mean haunted properties?
Bingo.
I trust you found the
offer to be acceptable.
Did Charles sign off on this?
Yes, he did.
How long have you worked for Mr. Iqbal?
50 years.
What? Does that mean that Vince-
He could be.
Maybe.
Where to now, boss?
We are paranormal investigators.
We investigate mysteries
of the unknown, the
sounds, the noises, the goo. You never
know when you're just going to get goo from
when you open the fridge,
and goo, or you open a door
and a ghost vomits right all over you.
Or passes through you,
leaving their goo behind.
Some people don't like the
goo. I, for one, don't mind the goo.
In fact, I kind of like the goo.
Which is why I let him handle
that part, because I'm not a fan.
Talk about when you were grabbed.
When that hand grabbed
mine, well, it made me
feel a lot of things, really. I
hadn't really had a
lot of contact for quite
some time. What was disturbing
was how good it made me
feel just to have
the touch of
another being.
So because of our equipment being
left behind in our presence, we can say
that the Pringle house is definitely-
100%
Ghost Brothers certified safe.
Ghost Brothers certified safe.
Evening, guys. I'm Charles Bright.
I'm the one that was on the phone.
Now, which of you is
Eric and which is Derek?
Derek.
Eric.
And y'all are brothers?
Yeah.
Well, I want to show my
gratitude to you for now.
Where's the money?
With as much as I'm giving, I got to
have your assurance this is going to work.
We're professionals, Mr. Bright.
You want to save some money, go
burn some sage or buy a Ouija board.
How long is it going to take?
From what you've told us, we should
be dealing with a class one spirit.
Shouldn't take long.
Class one?
Class one.
She likes to play the piano.
Guys, are you sure you
know how to handle this?
Did you ever hear of the Boise
Blooded Ballerina, Mr. Bright?
She haunted the theater
where she died for 40 years.
That was a real class
five spirit. We took care of
her in one night.
One night, you did?
We'll take care of your ghost problem.
All right. Well, you better.
Lights are dead.
Power must be out.
Grab your gear.
Who the hell would
live in a place like this?
Grandma would live here.
Grandma's legally blind.
Can you find me?
Behind you.
It's definitely in here.
The EMF reader's at
least 43.6 above standard
parsecs. It's got to be a class three.
Get the spirit box.
Spirit box?
Yeah.
There's something upstairs.
In the attic.
We're not going.
What are you doing? We're not going.
Okay.
We're not going.
Settle down.
It's just a mannequin.
All right. Based on the earlier EFreadings, we know that there was a ghost
in this house. But now that Derek
and I have cleared it with our trusty
AATD,
it's going to be neutralized. So,
whether you've got a spook, spirit,
or specter, we're at your service.
This house
is Ghost Brothers certified safe.
Is Ghost Brothers certified safe.
Okay, I got it.
Thanks.
All right.
Hey.
Wait. Where are you going?
Call someone else.
But you're the professionals.
I want my money back.
No refunds.
What the hell is this?
Hello, Natalie.
Mr. Dandridge. How are you today?
Me?
I'm great.
So, I'm in front of your
property, and there's
a Tanner Kincaid sign
out front, and it says it's
sold.
Mr. Dandridge, are you still there?
Yes. About that,
we decided to go with Tanner Kincaid.
But we had a signed agreement.
Well, Tanner pointed out that since we
hadn't sent it in yet, that we could switch.
Look,
we're real sorry.
Tanner just really fought for us.
We really do appreciate the hard
work that you put in, in
getting the process started.
Okay. Well, congratulations on your sale.
No, no, Sam, I really think now
is our time. I feel good about this.
What the-
What are you looking at?
Tanner.
Oh. Oh, okay.
Ugh.
Where are you going?
Wow. Looking good.
Sarcasm,
the last resort of a loser.
You could afford a $3,000 suit
if you sold 20 houses a month.
Wait,
you sold 20 houses this month?
Dandridge was 20.
Wait, wait. You sold the Dandridge house?
Closed the deal last night.
Well, that was supposed
to be Nat's property.
Nat couldn't sell water to a well.
Nat is... I mean, she might
not be my favorite person,
but she's good. I respect her. She's a
legend.
Nat is last week's news.
I'm making headlines now.
And you could be too,
if you play your cards right.
Oh.
Yeah, I think I'll play
my own hand. Thank you.
You've got ambition,
Carlisle. I'll give you that.
But you've been in the industry for
two years? You've sold
how many houses?
Oh, that's right, five. And
in a seller's market, too.
Do you have a point?
All I'm saying is,
maybe you shouldn't have
given up on your singing career.
I have my sources.
Time to go.
Did you tell him about Melody?
No.
Then how does he know?
I don't know. Google?
Sam,
I'm serious.
Sorry. I had too many
drinks at the Christmas party.
Sam.
Look, I don't know what the big deal is.
You were a teenage pop star for a minute.
Who cares?
Morning, Nat.
Thanks.
Mm-hmm.
I had the Dandridge house first.
Oh, go take care of these customers.
I had a buyer for the Dandridge house.
I was set to close next week.
And?
And they signed with Tanner yesterday.
I know.
I had it first.
They called and canceled the agreement.
And you didn't bother to tell me?
Nat, that's how this works. People
switch their real estate agent-
No.
That was my commission.
I'm sorry, Nat.
This is bt.
Can I help you?
Yes. Mr. Iqbal is here to
see Mr. Charles. Is he in?
Yes. Around the corner, to the right.
Thank you so much.
Who's that?
I love his car.
You already have a Bentley.
Can't have too many Bentleys.
Who was that?
Come on.
I've got something to tell you.
What's going on, Charles?
Guys, we're in trouble.
Well, what kind of trouble?
Tanner's running the table
on all the listings in our area.
Guys, our numbers are way low.
So was that guy a loan shark?
That guy
was Mr. Iqbal,
real estate investor.
Mm-hmm.
He owns more properties than we
could ever handle, and luck would have
it,
he's looking for somebody
to start selling his properties.
Oh, well, that's great. Doesn't
that mean the business won't
go under?
Well,
before he's willing to make the agreement,
he asked us to do one task.
Go on.
He acquired the Frengle house.
He wants us to sell that house
before he gives us the contract.
Great. We just sell that
thing and get the contract.
Nat, it's not that easy.
Of course it is.
The house is haunted.
It is not.
It's true. I've heard the ghost.
She plays piano every night.
That's a myth.
I heard it.
You did?
I was there last night.
I hired the Ghost Brothers
to come and check it out.
You hired the Ghost Brothers?
Oh, what happened?
The Ghost Brothers ran out,
took half my money with them.
Well, did they get rid of the ghost?
So we sell the house and get the contract.
Okay, were you not just listening?
First, we get rid of the ghost,
and then we sell the house,
and then get the contract.
But first, we get rid of the ghost.
Exactly. Okay, now look,
I know you two don't like
each other, but I need your help.
I need your game face on.
Fine. I will sell the house,
but I want first dibs on
all the other properties.
Okay, done.
No, but I can sell that house, too.
Aren't you afraid of ghosts?
Well...
Guys,
I'll tell you what we'll do. Whichever
one of you gets the ghost out
gets to sell the house.
Fine.
Oh, but let me tell you,
we've got two days to do it.
We got two days to find a buyer.
You can get in tomorrow afternoon.
Tomorrow is Halloween.
That is the day when
the veil between the living
and the dead is the weakest,
allowing the spirits to be at their most
powerful.
Guys, there's no better
time than the present.
Look,
we've got two days.
If you guys don't find a buyer,
we're out of a job.
Happy Halloween.
"Here lies Mrs. Frengle.
May her voice sing through the generation."
Yes, and still be heard today.
Mandy, Mrs. Frengle is dead. She is in her
grave. There's a rational
explanation for what people
hear.
Yes.
Ms. Frengle.
Ghost lore is-House or other building often
perceived as being inhabited
by disembodied spirits
of the deceased who
may have been former residents
or connected to the property.
Parapsychologists often attribute
haunting to the spirits of the
dead who have suffered from violent or
tragic events in the building's past,
such as murder, accidental death,
or suicide.
You sure do know a lot about ghosts.
In a majority of cases,
upon scientific investigation,
alternative causes to
supernatural phenomenon are to be
found at fault, such as
hoaxes, environmental
effects, hallucinations,
or confirmation biases.
Common symptoms of hauntings like
cold spots and creaking or knocking sounds
can be found in most homes, regardless of
suspected paranormal presences.
People are more likely to
experience a haunting when they are
about to fall asleep,
when waking, if they are
intoxicated, or sleep-deprived.
Wikipedia.
I love Wikipedia.
Okay, Mandy.
Now's the time to prove yourself.
Are you a lion or a sheep?
I can't believe you got me
hunting for ghosts on Halloween.
No better time to hunt a
ghost than Halloween night.
Girl, please.
Hey.
Hi.
You really going to take a picture of that?
Sure. Detail sale.
Yeah.
Wow, this is some great room.
This is going to be an easy sale.
Yeah. It's amazing. It's just
it's really too bad that it's-
Oh, don't say it
haunted.
Is there a light switch?
Probably
over...
Are you sure
you don't think there's a ghost?
Motion sensor.
In this house?
Sure.
Why don't you go upstairs
and take some pictures?
Yeah. I should go upstairs first.
What?
Tired?
Are you kidding me?
I jog eight miles a day.
Okay.
Nat,
Nat.
What?
What's that?
What's that?
This? Let me turn on the light.
It's a mannequin. You
brought me here for this?
I didn't... Well, we were
both looking up here.
This is-
I know, but still.
I thought it was a person. Please.
Let's go.
Oh, my goodness.
That's too
scary.
Oh, my God.
It's just the doorbell.
Yes.
Okay?
Yeah.
All right.
Okay.
Sorry.
Trick or treat!
I don't have any candy.
We'll take money.
Oh, you will?
All right. Pay the kids, Nat.
Happy Halloween.
Thank you.
You're welcome. Bye bye.
Sweetie,
turn off the light, okay?
Sweetie.
I'm not a kid. You know what?
Let's just have a truce, okay? We
both want to sell this house, so may the
best agent win.
I was selling houses in this town
when you were in grade school.
There's no debate over
who is the better agent.
Okay. Well, then there is no reason
why you should feel threatened by
me.
I'm not.
You know why people think this house is
haunted?
Because it is?
Because it's old.
No. Didn't you hear a few years ago,
those kids that came in here and they never
came back out?
That's an urban legend.
No, it's true.
Where did you hear that from?
My brother, because he was friends with
the cousin of the guy who actually came in
here and-
Credible source.
Don't break anything.
Where are you going?
Upstairs.
Nat?
Nat?
Oh, you are not going
to scare me into leaving.
Scare you? You're trying to scare me.
No, you're the one that moved
the teapot and the teacup.
I have been upstairs,
and I found your dolls,
and I saw your mannequins.
Okay. I have no idea what you're
talking about. I didn't touch anything.
Sure.
Where are you going?
Lock the doors.
Why?
Why?
We're going to get to the bottom of this,
and we're not leaving until we do.
And we're going to stay together
from here out.
Fine.
So,
what did you see?
Dolls.
So?
They were moved,
and the light bulb.
Light bulb?
Yes, and the mannequin.
Okay. I swear, I don't know
what you're talking about.
I didn't touch anything.
So you
didn't move the tea kettle?
No.
Well, then it
must've been Miss Pringle, huh?
Well, that's a possibility
But assuming
there
isn't a ghost,
what could it be?
I guess
it could be someone messing with us?
Yes.
Someone human.
Okay, wait. Wait, wait, wait.
I am not doing that-
Okay
right now.
Okay. Okay.
What's that smell?
Oh, wait a minute. Come
on, let's get out of here.
Oh, I thought we weren't leaving, though.
We won't for a ghost,
but we will for a fire.
Oh, come on.
This way, this way, come on.
You still don't believe that
this place is not haunted?
It can't be.
Oh.
Oh my God. Oh, I'm sick of this st.
Whoever's doing this, knock it off.
Oh, yeah, I'm sure
that the ghost will listen.
Fk you, hell.
Oh, I'm out of here.
Go. Go.
I'm out of here. Oh.
No, no. Let me try.
I got this.
No, no, no. You're kind of on the wrong
side of 40 to be doing this, so let me in.
Let us out.
Oh, geez. You're talking to the ghost?
Look,
there's no such
thing.
Okay, let me try.
Okay. One, two, three. Oh.
Oh, Sam.
Sorry.
There was smoke on the
main floor. Are you okay?
Yeah. Yeah, I think so.
How did you get in here?
The front door was open.
It was?
Yeah.
Uh, what's so funny?
You two did this.
Did what?
If you think you're
going to get rid of me that
easily...
Nat, we didn't do anything.
I gotta admit, you almost had me.
Okay, can someone catch me up to speed?
Yeah, Nat thinks that we
are pulling pranks on her like
kids.
I literally just got here.
Sure it was. That was
you at the front door.
No, it wasn't. Call Charles. I
was at the office until about
five minutes ago.
I bet your voice was
on the radio, wasn't it?
Nat, I just said we didn't do anything.
So what's the next trick?
The power went out.
Sure. How convenient.
The breaker must have been
pulled.
Okay, Nat, how could we pull the
breaker when we are right here?
Somebody may have helped you. Who?
Is Charles in on this?
See, you all are trying to mess with me.
There must be a breaker.
Yes, let's go look for it.
Okay.
Oh, you guys, wait a second. My phone is...
What?
Breaker's probably in the attic. Let's go.
Guys.
You guys, I know where
the breaker is, just...
Nat?
Yeah, yeah. Come here.
Whoa,
check this out.
What?
It's the Ghost Brothers back.
What?
They have a public access TV show.
Whoa.
Oh, one less problem.
High five.
Uh-uh. Nope.
No.
Madigan?
Hey. I just want to play a game with you.
You don't want to leave. Please stay.
Oh, my God.
Stay with me
What?
Hey.
Who the hell are you?
Who the hell am I? Who the
hell are you? This is my house.
This is your house?
Yeah.
No.
Mm-mm.
Nobody lives here. This
house has been empty
for over a year.
I've been here for the past 10 years.
What's your name?
Beau.
Beau Buford.
The last owner of this house
was Helen Fringle.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah. I was her personal care attendant,
and I was here for the past five years
until she passed away, taking care of her.
Hmm.
So,
what?
You decided to stay here
after she died?
Yeah.
Towards the end,
given she had no next of kin, she
was going to leave the house to me.
So,
they deemed her mentally unfit to
change the will.
Sure. Likely story.
It's the truth.
So,
what's up with the mannequin?
I use it to scare people
off, they don't buy the house.
So you cut the power?
Who else would've done it?
Hmm. Maybe a
ghost.
A ghost?
There's no ghost.
So
You messed with the dolls,
you turned on and off the
lights, and you started the teapot?
All me.
I don't believe you.
Look,
I heard you talking about
selling the house and
snapping photos,
and I wanted you out of here.
So I thought I would just wait for you
upstairs, and eventually you'd come
up there, and I'd scare the
st out of you so you would
leave.
Can you tell us about her?
What?
Well, what was she
like?
She was incredible.
You loved her, didn't you?
What? What, me?
A ghost love story.
There's no ghost.
But I did love her.
So
Were you a little too old for...
No.
She was my mentor.
Just... Her eyes and
her hair, and the way she
moved, and
whenever I was just hurting
inside, she always knew what to say.
I mean, she was so strong.
I'd never met a woman like that before.
Can I go?
Why?
Why did she haunt this house,
Beau?
I'm not sure.
Aha. So there is a ghost.
Beau,
you're saying there
is a ghost?
Yes.
How did she die?
She had dementia.
She didn't even recognize
me when she was passing.
When did you first know
Ms. Fringle was here?
It was the week after she passed.
I went upstairs and started
to organize things, and
I heard this noise, this sound.
So I followed the sound, and
I went into the room, and
these dolls just walking
across the room, and
there were some in the corner, and it
scared the st out of me.
Did Helen do that?
Yeah.
She loved her tea.
What's with the dolls?
I don't know.
Towards the end,
she was always just in the room
playing with the dolls and having
tea,
just all day,
and I think it might
have kept her mind here
You know?
She needs to do something about the dolls.
Yeah, it took a while to get used to.
Have you seen her?
No.
Can you talk to her?
I tried.
Nothing.
Even if I could,
I don't think I could tell her she passed.
They say
ghosts can be seen in
candlelight.
Really?
Are you all for real?
Class one spirits can
be seen in candlelight.
How many classes are there?
Based on the "Ghost
Brothers" show, there are five
classes.
Class fives can be seen
in the day or night, and
they can choose to be
seen or not. They also know
that they're ghosts.
Let's try it.
Try what?
This candle thing.
You want to see Miss Ringel?
Do you want to save our jobs?
Let's do it.
Let's do this.
Are you sure this is going to work?
No, but we need to try.
Let's do this and get it over with.
What are you doing?
I don't know.
Maybe
I'm just
not ready to see if it's really her yet.
No.
Let's resolve this ghost thing.
Who knows what will happen
to this house if we don't.
Aunt Helen.
Well,
maybe the Ghost Brothers were full of st.
Or maybe
she's not here.
She was never really up here too much.
I'm out of here.
Who are you?
What are you doing in my house?
Did you see that?
Oh.
Oh,
gosh.
Was that
Miss Ringel?
She looks so young.
Ghosts sometimes, they
return to the prime of life,
forever young.
Okay.
Okay. Sam,
light the candle again.
Wait. No, no.
She didn't seem happy to see us.
I think we scared her.
We need to communicate with her.
We just need to remind her who she
is.
No, we need to sell the house
and let someone else deal with it.
Nat.
Bo.
Come on,
we can do this.
Fine.
Bo, talk to her.
Helen.
Who are you?
What are you doing here?
Helen,
it's me.
It's Bo.
You don't remember me?
Hello there.
My name is Natalie.
Do you know your name?
Do you know who you are?
Who are you?
Why are you in my house?
Your name is Helen Fringle.
This is your house.
Yes.
Yes. This is my house.
Why are you in it?
We are here to help you.
We're here to help you remember.
Come on, follow me.
Come on.
This is your home.
Beau?
Helen.
What happened?
You passed away.
How long have I been gone?
10 years.
10 years?
I don't want to live like this.
What do we need to do?
We need to get her to a holy ground,
a church or a cemetery or a prayer garden.
She'll find peace there.
How do we do that?
How do we take her to a holy ground?
Do ghosts ride in cars?
I'm not sure, actually.
Well, we better find out.
So,
what's a prayer garden?
It's a place of spiritual
energy used for prayer
or meditation. Usually, it's a natural
place
with a statue or other religious imagery.
Oh, hold up. Let me see this.
Is it like this?
Yeah.
Okay.
Tanner?
What are you doing here?
How'd you get in here?
I walked in.
But the door was locked.
I think you're dead.
What?
I'm not dead.
Yep, you're dead.
What?
This
can't be happening.
That's impossible.
That's what you get for being a pk.
This
does not work with my wardrobe.
You.
I will haunt you for the rest of your life.
Let's get out of here.
Oh, yes.
Oh, this is too much.
Come on.
Just
move
it. Move it.
We're stuck. Go. Go.
I'll suck your soul.
Okay. What's this?
Try me.
Okay. Okay.
It's an AED.
Okay.
It neutralizes their spirit energy.
How do you know all this?
How is he so powerful?
Oh my God.
Oh my God,
what did you do?
You know nothing about what you're doing.
Is she...
Where did he go?
Where did he go?
I'm not sure.
Where's Helen?
I'm everywhere.
The spirit energy must be overpowered
by Tanner's. He's a class four.
What did you say about holy ground?
Uh
We'll buy him some time.
Okay.
Okay.
What?
You have poopy pants.
You got boogers coming out of your nose.
Oh, did you over-pluck your brows, Tanner?
Yeah.
That was good.
Your breath stinks.
You have holes in your shirt.
Mm-hmm. That's not even fitted.
Did you even get it tailored, Tanner?
You can't afford new pants.
Your shirt's looking dirty.
Oh, no.
Do you know anything about brand naming?
These are absolutely gorgeous.
They cost more than your yearly salary.
Your butt looks like a
soggy waffle, Tanner.
Is that a Chia Pet on your chest?
Yeah. You're looking a little skinny.
Everything inside is just as
wonderful as what's on the
outside. Don't you understand?
The power of the
pectorals, the tight abs, the
slender, thin, tapered
areas through here, and the
perfectly flexed glutes.
You're hairy. You're a hairy, hairy
person and your hair's all over the
place, Tanner.
Oh, st, I didn't even do my hair.
Oh, buddy, that beard is
getting so patchy, it's like Swiss
cheese.
I will destroy you.
What did you do to me?
Holy ground.
Let me out.
Goodbye, Tanner.
You won't be rid of me.
We'll see about that.
Goodbye,
Bo.
Goodbye, Bo.
You sure you want to do this?
Yes.
Haunting a house is
no way to spend eternity.
I'm going to miss you.
I'm going to miss you.
I'm going to miss you.
But
we'll see one another again.
What's going to happen
to her when she passes on?
She will be at peace.
Are you going to be okay?
Yeah.
Can we get out of here now?
Bo, you coming?
Nah.
I'm just going to hang
out here for a little bit.
We survived.
Barely.
Thanks to Wikipedia.
Told you so.
What is he doing here?
Here, you go.
No.
No, you go. You
got
it.
Good morning, my friend.
Ghost has been handled.
They have?
They?
We had a surprise friend show up.
Interesting.
And Ms. Pringle?
She's at peace now.
Good. Knew you guys can do it.
You did?
We handled the ghost issue.
But I don't think that you
can close on the sale of
the house before the deadlines.
My associate will handle the paperwork.
Vinnie, if you please.
Here you are.
Thank you.
Is this for real?
Yes, ma'am.
So who is Mr. Iqbal really?
He's really not
a real estate investor, is he?
Well, he is a real estate investor, but
let's just say he has
somewhat of a soft spot for
the special tenants.
You mean haunted properties?
Bingo.
I trust you found the
offer to be acceptable.
Did Charles sign off on this?
Yes, he did.
How long have you worked for Mr. Iqbal?
50 years.
What? Does that mean that Vince-
He could be.
Maybe.
Where to now, boss?
We are paranormal investigators.
We investigate mysteries
of the unknown, the
sounds, the noises, the goo. You never
know when you're just going to get goo from
when you open the fridge,
and goo, or you open a door
and a ghost vomits right all over you.
Or passes through you,
leaving their goo behind.
Some people don't like the
goo. I, for one, don't mind the goo.
In fact, I kind of like the goo.
Which is why I let him handle
that part, because I'm not a fan.
Talk about when you were grabbed.
When that hand grabbed
mine, well, it made me
feel a lot of things, really. I
hadn't really had a
lot of contact for quite
some time. What was disturbing
was how good it made me
feel just to have
the touch of
another being.
So because of our equipment being
left behind in our presence, we can say
that the Pringle house is definitely-
100%
Ghost Brothers certified safe.
Ghost Brothers certified safe.
