403 - The Ghost Next Door (1)

Viewer beware.
You're in for a scare.
Goosebumps.
Fire! Weird dream.
Dear Katie, how's camp? How are the horses? I wish I was there with you, but, you know, my stupid allergy.
It's probably not that much fun without me.
Just kidding.
Well, I guess it has to be more interesting than hanging around Greenwood Falls.
Well, it's hot out.
And there's not supposed to be much water, but my dad keeps on watering the lawn anyway.
Well, I guess that's the most exciting thing happening around here.
I feel like I'm stuck in the summer of the living dead.
Hannah.
Sometimes I think I'm going a little crazy around here.
Anyway, have you met any cute boys yet? Hannah.
Hannah.
Mom! Mom! Hello? Where is everybody? "Hannah, at baseball tonight.
Mom and Dad.
" Great.
Oh, no.
911, what's your emergency, please? Oh, hi.
You gotta send somebody over here, right away.
There's something out there.
I don't know what it is.
But it's sneaking around outside the house next door.
You gotta send somebody over here right away.
Like the police or something.
Ok? The address is 52 Cordina Way.
It's the old Dawson House, you can't miss it, it's huge.
Are you gonna send somebody? Hello? Hello? This is 911, do you have an emergency? Hello? Hello? 911, do you have an emergency? Yes, I have an emergency, I just told you.
Aren't you listening to me? Hello? Hello? Is anyone on the line.
Hello? There's something wrong with the phone.
Can you hear me? Can you hear me? No.
Open up! Hurry up! Hannah.
Hannah.
Hannah.
Hannah.
No.
Hannah.
No.
You know, where I come from, we usually just say hello.
Sorry, sorry.
Um, do you live around here? Yeah, just down the street.
Good, we gotta use your phone.
I just saw this thing, hanging around outside the Dawson House.
It threw a rock through my window.
What kind of thing? Like a funny thing, or a scary thing? Do I look like I'm laughing? Come on, let's go to your house.
Ok, but we don't have a phone.
Are you kidding? It hasn't been hooked up yet, we just moved in.
Besides, no one's gonna believe you just saw something.
You're gonna need proof.
Where are you going? I wanna see what you're talking about.
Why? I like scary things.
It was right out here.
I don't see anything.
I'll have a look around back.
Help, help me! Help! Hello? Where are you? You dweeb.
I can't believe you just did that.
I'm sorry, I couldn't help it.
See, the shadow from that old kite was the thing.
Not really that scary, huh? Yeah, so who threw the rock through my window? I don't know.
Maybe we call the police, we can charge the kite with trespassing.
What do you mean? It's on my property.
I live here.
No way.
Nobody's lived in that old place for years.
Somebody does now.
That's impossible.
I live over at 49, I know everything that happens in this neighborhood.
I would have seen you moving in.
Guess we caught you when you weren't lookin'.
Where'd it go? Special delivery.
Very cool, Mr Anderson.
Danny.
Hannah.
Welcome to the neighborhood.
I gotta go, see you later.
Ok, see you later.
Wait a sec, How'd you do that? Great, I'm gonna get blamed for this.
Hannah.
Dear Katie, So finally something happened around here.
A new guy moved into the old Dawson House.
He's cute, kinda weird.
I mean, he says he lives there, but the place still looks empty.
Anyway, when you get back from camp, maybe you can meet him and tell me what you think.
Mail man.
Mr.
Chesney.
Mr.
Chesney! Wait! Mr.
Chesney, I got a letter! Thanks.
Thanks a lot.
Hey, move it, Freddie! Ooh, kids.
No.
Danny! Look out! Ooh! Are you all right? Yeah, yeah.
I guess I should have looked where I was goin'.
Yeah, or maybe Chesney should slow down.
Hey, what's wrong? You can't see over the handle bars? Yeah, nice landing, squirt.
Nice friends, they almost got you killed.
I'm the new kid in town, I gotta show 'em I'm not chicken.
Hey, come on, let's go.
See ya around.
That's weird.
Huh? Hey, guys, wait up! Dear Katie, so this guy, the one who just moved in, there's definitely something weird about him.
What I really wanna do is go check out his house.
You know, spy on him or something.
But that would be wrong, wouldn't it? Wouldn't it? What are you doing here? Oh, uh, hi.
Uh, I just want to make sure you're ok.
You know, from the bike crash.
Yeah, I I'm ok.
Thanks.
So, could I check out your house? I bet you really fixed it up.
No.
I mean, not right now.
It's, uh, kinda a mess, you know.
Hey, come on.
I wanna show you something.
Danny? Danny, where are you? Hannah.
Ha, ok, joke's over, come on out.
Hannah.
Danny? Danny? Danny? Ok, where are you? Hannah.
Aren't we a little old for hide and go seek? Hannah.
Ok, that's enough.
I'm getting outta here, you can stay in the dark for all I care.
Hannah.
Ok, I hear you now.
Danny? Hannah.
Hannah.
Hannah.
Hannah.
Hannah.
Help! You'll never get away from me.
Help! Help! Where did you go? You! You're not real.
You're a ghost.
Hannah, what are you talking about? What's wrong? Mom, Dad.
Where is everybody? I'm starting to feel like an orphan.
Ok, ok, um S-stay calm, think.
There's no such thing as ghosts, right? Right.
So, it must have been my imagination, right? Wrong.
I don't have that much imagination.
I need to know what's going on in that house.
I need information.
"House fire on Cordina claims family.
" "Fire fighters battled a 3 alarm house fire "on Cordina Way last night.
"But even with the heroic efforts, "there were no survivors of the blaze.
"The family's names have been withheld pending notification of next of kin.
" What's keepin' this guy? Come on, let's go.
I don't feel like waiting around for him all day.
Yeah.
What's with him anyway, you know? Sometimes it's like he just disappears.
Hello? Is there anybody there? Hello? Is somebody here? Is anybody home? Hello? Oh, uh, hi, sorry to come in here like this, but the front door was open, and, um So I guess you're Danny's mom.
I'm Hannah, your neighbor.
He must have told you about me.
Or not? Mrs.
Anderson? Hello? Wait a second.
You're not listening to me because you're not really here.
You're a ghost too.
What are you doing here? Don't act like you don't know, ok? I figured it out.
I know all about you and your mother.
You're ghosts.
What? You wanna tell me what the heck you're talking about? Stop acting innocent, ok? I saw you in your basement.
And what's with all these candles, huh? Your mother sets the table even though that oven hasn't been used in years.
And why does she act like we're not even here? You don't live in this house.
You're haunting it.
Well, you found us out.
I sure did.
Yeah, you figured out that our electricity hasn't been turned on yet, so we can't use the stove and that's also why we need candles.
And my mother hasn't been listening to a word we've said because she's deaf.
She's what? Deaf, you know, as in she can't hear.
I'm glad she can't.
Because it would have really hurt her feelings, you coming here and acting all weird like this.
Danny, I'm I'm so sorry, I don't know what to say.
Nothing's wrong, Mom.
I'll be right back.
Hannah, wait.
You must think I'm a complete loser.
Well, not a complete one.
- I'm sorry.
- I'm sorry.
- You go first.
- You go first.
You first.
Ok, I I was just gonna say I'm sorry.
I should have told you about my mom and why I don't let people in the house.
I I just took you to the basement 'cause I don't know.
I know it sounds dumb, but I guess I'm embarrassed.
Don't be, I think it's cool.
I wanna learn sign language now so I can talk to your mom.
Maybe I could teach you.
I'd like that.
Ok, it's your turn.
What were you gonna say? Well, I just wanted to say that I'm sorry I thought you were a ghost.
It's just I got this story off the Internet about our street, and about this big house fire.
And I just kinda thought you were dead.
That's ok.
Actually it's kinda cool.
No one's ever thought I was a ghost before.
Yeah, well, it won't happen again.
I promise.
It's been a weird summer, you know.
I promise I'll start acting like a normal person.
Is that a promise? Promise.
I'll see you tomorrow.
Pizza.
Excuse me.
Yeah, normal.
Dear Katie, Today, I made a complete idiot of myself.
Hannah, hold on.
Let me guess, you've decided my apology isn't enough, and you never wanna speak to me again.
No, look at this.
You said you lived at 49, right? Right.
B-but you can't live there.
Why not? Because 49 Cordina Way burned down three years ago.
That's impossible, my house is right here.
No.
Hannah, don't.
It's not safe.
You're right, there is a ghost around here.
It's you.
