It was just a nightmare.
Oh my gosh.
Official YIFY movies site: YTS.MX
It felt so real, like there was somebody
in my room next to my bed.
I saw someone like a human form backlit by the lumen, lu--
Ah, shit.
What's the line?
The luminescent moon trickling through the gauzy curtains
shrouding my window.
Oh, it's a stupid line.
Okay, again.
[clears throat]
- Ah-- - [phone ringing]
Oh shit.
Hello.
- Hey. - Hey.
I didn't think you'd answer.
Yeah, I didn't mean to.
I wasn't sure if you were still awake.
What's the time difference over there?
[James] No, it's only like 10:00 PM.
[Lila] Well, it's 1:00 PM here.
The funeral is at 3:00, and I don't know,
there's a part of me that just thought you would change
your mind and you'd show up.
Yeah, well I'm, you know, kind of in another country.
I'm working a lot of odd jobs and stuff, I'm busy.
And sleeping on strangers sofas, I hear.
Um,
well, he's not a stranger anymore.
And, yes, we met on a couchsurfing app,
but he's really cool.
He's not, like, some creep or something,
and he's gay, so chill.
Okay.
So are you, like, still trying to act or influence or--
[chuckles] Trying.
Wow, thank you so much for the support.
[Lila] That's not how I meant it.
I still watch all of your videos.
I just watched the My Summer in Paris one.
Oh, okay cool.
So I've got one viewer, woo.
Yeah, and your camera work is getting a lot better,
and you look happy.
Well, I am happy.
Are you?
Yeah.
Or are you just a really good actress?
[James] Well, that too.
[Lila chuckles]
Okay, so anything else, Lila?
Um.
You know, you can admit that you have feelings about all of this.
Well, yes, I do have feelings.
Hate is a feeling, isn't it.
Don't say that.
That's true.
If she treated you the same way she treated me,
you didn't have to stay there and watch her unravel.
You can admit that she was a shitty mom.
It's okay to hate someone even though they're dead.
Hey, look, I got to go.
I got to go finish this audition, okay?
- I'll talk to you later. - [phone dings]
Have a good day.
[phone dings]
Shipshape.
- Accept. - [phone dings]
[ominous music]
[lively music]
Hey, you guys, it's James, and guess what, I'm in Paris.
[James laughs]
Welcome back to my channel.
If you're new here, I am an American
in Paris for the next three or four months,
and I can't wait for you guys to join me on this journey.
Come along.
I am loving my summer so far.
Fit check.
This place, it's magical.
And I'm living with the coolest guy named Dash.
He's fabulous.
And most nights when he's not bar-tending
at the hippest spot in Paris, we go dancing
and then we stuff up on the most delectable wines and pastas.
Oh, and look at the view from our apartment.
It has the cutest little courtyard.
And then you walk out, and this is our street.
[keyboard clicks]
[James] 62 views.
- [James] Yippee. - [keyboard clicks]
[beeping]
[camera clicks]
Dash, say hi.
No.
Come on. It's for my channel.
How would you like a camera in your face all the time 24/7?
Oh wait, you'd love it.
I'm assuming catering didn't go well tonight.
No.
First of all, this guy spilled his Bloody Mary all over me,
and then I ran out of gas on the way home.
Oh, no.
Can you imagine how embarrassing that was?
I mean, me climbing out it with a stained catering uniform only
to be able to fill up a fourth of my tank with crinkled ones
that I made out of tips.
Oh, gosh.
Why don't you just tell your dad that you like, overextended?
No, you, out of all people, should be happy.
I'm too prideful to do that because you'd be homeless.
Rude.
Okay, help me.
How do I get more subscribers on my channel?
Who cares?
I care.
You know what your problem is?
You just haven't found your voice.
Like, what is your brand?
Like, you're an actress?
You're a travel vlogger?
You're a yogi who does makeup?
I don't know.
I mean, I just want to make content that people like.
Why don't you make content you like?
Because I don't know what I like.
I've been taking care of my mom at home for years,
and now I'm finally out and look at me.
I'm no closer to figuring out who I am than when
I was living for somebody else.
And now you're going to live for a bunch of strangers online?
[James scoffs]
[Dash] By the way, rents up.
Oh surprised.
About rent, so I'm just like, a little short right now,
but I got a gig, a cleaning gig this weekend in the countryside,
and it's supposed to pay really well,
which is going to be my next question.
Can I please borrow your car?
No.
Gas is so much cheaper than the train.
And the more money I save, the quicker I can pay you back.
What's the address?
Um...
that.
- [scoffs] - What?
Oh, shit.
That's going to take me forever.
That's huge.
Do you know what this place is?
No, should I?
This is Murder Castle.
If you want the views, this might be your ticket, baby.
[ominous music]
[upbeat music]
Good morning, guys.
Welcome to my channel.
Today, I'm doing a little bit of a rebranding
because I found myself with a unique opportunity.
So I hope you guys are ready because today we
are going on a ghost hunt.
[camera squelches]
Okay, I admit I've never done anything like this before,
but I've always really liked spooky things.
My Halloween costumes have always been like,
super legendary, not to toot my own horn.
[camera clicking]
This video, as you see, it's titled The No Go Chateau.
I admit I didn't really know anything about Murder Castle
until my roommate told me about it,
but I have done so much research now,
and I have all of these amazing supplies for ghost hunting.
This is an EVP I got, Electronic Voice Phenomenon.
[Dash] So what happened to being broke?
Um, this was like 15 bucks, chill.
Well, I've never seen a maid so dressed up.
I know I look cute, right.
I wanted to look good for my channel.
At least it's not a French maid costume.
Yeah, at least I'm not like a nude maid.
Oh, my God.
My eyes are allergic to breasts and vaginas, so--
Keys please.
Listen, the keychain my dad got me is kind of sharp.
Oh.
Eiffel Tower.
Cute.
Don't make me regret this.
Thanks, Dash.
[ominous music]
[birds chirping]
All right, you guys, we're almost there.
Murder Castle is about two hours outside of Paris,
so it's been quite a trek, but it's going to be worth it.
And as you guys just saw, I put some aerial footage
of the French countryside.
Just ignore the watermark, because I don't really--
stock footage is so expensive, and this shit
isn't monetized yet. [chuckles]
All right.
And now, editor, which will be yours truly,
let's insert the spooky research portion of the video.
Give them a little background on Murder Castle.
Bwahaha.
Whoa!
[laughs]
[static]
- [screaming] - [creepy music]
There's no way out.
There's no electricity, no phone, no one within miles.
So no way to call for help.
- Like your coffin. - [static]
[speaking foreign language]
[dramatic music]
[speaking foreign language continues]
[computer mouse clicks]
[insects chirring]
[Woman] One rumored spirit, is Reginald Poirot.
A few years back, an avid hunter, this man
was often known to disappear for days at a time,
- pursuing the perfect kill. - [static]
Shhh [speaks French].
His last known whereabouts were, you guessed it,
the woods near the chateau.
Now, there are many more specters
rumored to haunt these halls, but perhaps the property's most
famous ghost is Pia Monroe.
[Woman] One day in 1986,
she was out walking her beloved Baguette.
When, according to an eyewitness,
the dog slipped out of his harness and bolted.
Pia chased him, apparently all the way here.
And after that, she nor the dog were ever seen again.
- [door opens] - [man speaks indistinctly]
Oh, shit let's go.
- [static] - All right,
so the interesting thing about Murder Castle compared
to other, you know, supposed haunted houses is
that there's no evidence that anybody actually died there.
Cops have scoured the place over and over again,
and all these people, they've just vanished.
So let's go see if we can find them.
[horn honking]
Geez, dick.
[static]
All right, you guys, I have a little
pit stop before we get there.
I was able to track down a former gardener.
- Wish me luck. - [phone ringing]
Sorry.
[knocking]
[tense music]
Yes.
Hi.
Are you Fleur Prescott?
Yes.
Hi.
My name is James.
I was wondering if you'd be willing to talk
to me about your time at Murder Castle.
I'd be delighted to.
How is my hair?
It's beautiful.
And the sweater?
I could change.
No, no, no. It's perfect.
Okay.
This is truly so wonderful for me.
I can't tell you how many times I
have tried to tell my story to those who could help,
primarily the cops, but no one listens.
All right well, let's dive right in.
You want to go ahead and introduce yourself?
[Fleur sighs]
Fleur Prescott.
Thank you, Fleur.
And tell us, what is your connection to Murder Castle.
I was hired to do some gardening one summer.
What happened?
Well, at first I thought I was alone,
but on the very first day, I started
seeing people peering out from windows, walking past
from the corner of my eye.
And then this young woman, she, she approached me and asked me
if I had seen her dog.
And why was that strange?
Well, I recognized her.
The woman, I had seen her on the news.
She went missing.
Pia.
Exactly.
So naturally, I hightailed it out of there,
and I told the police.
And what did they say?
[tense music]
They laughed at me.
They laughed?
Yes, dear.
They laughed because Pia went missing nearly 20 years earlier.
I told them she was young, mid-20s at the latest,
and they just laughed and said that she would be in her 40s
by now.
And then how did you interpret that?
What you experienced there?
I didn't have to interpret anything.
It was clear.
She was a ghost.
They all were.
Be sure to let me know when I can watch the video, will you?
Maybe I'll throw a viewing party.
Definitely will do.
Can I ask what made you dig into this story?
Well, I'm going there.
I've been hired to clean the place.
I don't want to give you this.
Don't go to that place.
It's evil monologue.
But just know, not all of those spirits
are simply looking for a lost dog.
I believe the house is collecting souls,
so don't be one of them.
[thunder rumbles]
[phone ringing]
Shitty service will take care of that.
[GPS] The destination is on your left.
The owner said they'd leave the gate open for me.
Based on all the videos and blogs I've seen,
this is where all you would be
ghost hunters would have to turn back.
But not me.
[screaming]
[static]
Thank you.
Sorry, I don't--
I don't, I don't have any cash.
- No cash. - [thunder rumbles]
Sorry.
So creepy.
What the heck is he doing al the way out here?
[static]
Just like that the rain starts.
Of course.
[thunder rumbles]
Oh, my God.
This is crazy.
[static]
[thunder rumbles]
It's huge.
We're here.
[exhales]
[static]
Very few people have been through that door, at least
those who have lived to tell the tale.
Stay tuned as you see a peek behind the curtain.
- [door creaks open] - Oh shit.
[static]
Hi, bonjour.
[Andrea] Bonjour.
- Can I help you? - Uh.
Yeah, I'm James from Shipshape, the app.
[Andrea] James?
I was expecting a man.
Yeah, I get that a lot.
[Andrea] Only joking. I read your profile.
Andrea Bardot, welcome.
I appreciate you coming all this way.
Yeah, it's my pleasure.
- [Andrea] Please come in. - [static]
Oh wow.
This is huge.
[Andrea] It's been in the family for quite some time.
I have some business in the city this weekend,
so thought it would be a good time to tidy the place up.
My husband liked to keep it spotless after he spent
so much time on renovations.
Oh yeah.
So you're, you're married?
[Andrea] Widowed, sadly.
Oh I'm, I'm so sorry.
[static]
So you live alone then?
[Andrea] You could say that.
So you are American?
Yeah, I'm just here for the summer
and decided to stay through the autumn too.
It's cold.
[Andrea] Please set your things down and I'll show you around.
- Sure. - [static]
[Andrea] Why don't we start upstairs?
Your profile, it mentioned that you're fresh as a daisy.
No friends or family?
[James] I guess I'm just trying to reconnect with myself.
[Andrea] As you'll see, there are a number of common spaces--
seven bathrooms and eight bedrooms.
In this closet are the fresh linens,
and you will find your room right here
at the top of the stairs.
- [static] - [ominous music]
Oh, my God.
Wait until you guys see this place.
It's crazy.
I wasn't expecting it to be so beautiful, but it is.
I'm trying to be quiet because I don't want the owner
to see me or see the cameras.
Did you guys hear what she said when
I was like, so you live alone?
She was like, you could say that.
She's talking about ghosts?
Okay, I'm going to go.
So she doesn't think that I'm taking a number two.
Okay.
Fake flush.
[toilet flushes]
Well, I believe I've given you all the cleaning instructions.
I'll get out of your hair.
I'll return tomorrow evening, so in the meantime,
if you need anything or have any questions, feel free to call me.
Number's on the fridge.
[James] All right, will do. Thank you.
[Andrea] Oh, and you'll find out that service is spotty out here,
so there's a landline in the attic, should you need it.
[James] Sorry, you said the attic?
[Andrea] It's odd, I know.
It's just that the ringing sets off my migraines,
so I relocated it somewhere it wouldn't be a bother.
Well, I'm off.
[James] All right, have a great time.
[door closes]
Interesting chick.
[ominous music]
Oops.
- [footsteps above] - [floor creaking]
Who could that be?
[ominous music]
[door creaks]
[Andrea] I forget to tell you that
the pantry is fully stocked.
Help yourself to anything.
[James] Thank you, thank you so much.
[Andrea] You're, you're filming?
I was just trying to video chat my sister, but you're right,
service is really spotty.
[Andrea] I do apologize about that.
Well, now I'm really off.
[James] Take care.
[static]
[phone beeps]
[gentle upbeat music]
All right, you guys, the owner is gone.
Let me show you something.
Look at this.
Hands free. [laughs]
How hilarious is this?
I found it online.
It was, it was really expensive, but I'm just going
to return it afterwards. Shhh.
And I've got this app, too.
It's called Flipvid.
It gets front facing and back facing camera at the same time.
Shout out Flipvid, if you wanna collab after this.
And then most importantly, I've got
this light for all the other darker areas of the property.
So bright.
And here's my room.
Check it.
I was so surprised.
I didn't think that there would be a room this cute.
Look at that chandelier.
- [light flickers] - Flickering light.
That's weird.
All right, oh,
and the footsteps earlier, before you guys write me off
as an amateur, just know that I searched
every single square inch of this floor
and I didn't find anything.
So for now, we're just going to say old pipes.
Innocent until proven guilty.
This Murder Castle.
All right.
It's time for the grand tour.
[upbeat creepy music]
[static]
Whoa. [laughs]
Sun is out, but it's still freezing.
[birds chirping]
Oh. here we go.
Look at this.
Shutters definitely need some work. [chuckles]
Oof.
I think there's something like 40,000 chateaus in France.
[static]
Look, treehouse.
I want to see it.
Oh.
I always wanted a treehouse when I was a kid.
[static]
Uh, this property is huge.
There are so many things to see.
I was going to say, I wonder what
they're growing in here, but just shrubs, clearly.
Look at the ceiling.
[ominous music]
It's so--
Hello.
Hello who's there?
Excuse me.
What?
Hello.
Bonjour.
Oh it's okay, you can come in.
Oh, no, no, no.
No, really, it's okay.
No, I don't go there.
Au revoir.
Weren't you just--
Ooh, let's go check that out.
Interior dark barn day.
I can test out my lights here.
[wood creaking]
So much crap in here.
What is that?
[tense music]
Oh, okay.
Oh, my gosh.
My God.
I am spooking myself.
Okay, all right, that's enough barn for me.
Oh my gosh.
Look what I found.
There's donkeys.
Hi.
Can I pet you?
Oh my gosh.
Hi.
Hi, baby.
Oh, look at the little bangs.
[static]
Okay, when I was doing my research,
I found these really creepy pictures.
How funny is this?
Okay, I'm going to show you on my laptop.
You recognize something?
Look at that.
I found the same spot.
You guys see this?
Hmm.
Like she's clearly overlapping such bad editing,
so that's obviously fake.
But now we are going to get to the real spooky stuff.
[ominous music]
Gotta fix my lipstick before the next shot.
- [lips smack] - [chuckles]
There's a quote.
It's like, during the day, I don't believe in ghosts.
At night, I'm a little bit more open minded.
It's definitely me right now.
Okay, guys.
EVP.
If you're a true ghost hunter, you already know what this is.
But if you don't, it basically picks up on spirits talking.
I found this recording online that's
claims to be from Murder Castle.
So, let me show you what it's all about.
[computer mouse clicks]
[tense music]
[speaking indistinctly]
[James] 17.
What could that mean?
[static]
Let's go see if anyone's feeling chatty.
Gonna set the mood first.
It's got some red lights.
All right, let's see.
[EVP beeps]
Are there any spirits in this room?
Did you die in this home?
Are you friendly?
Do you want me here?
Okay.
Let's listen to it back.
[EVP beeps]
Are there any spirits in this room?
Did you die in this home?
Are you friendly?
Do you want me here?
[EVP beeps]
Whew, okay.
Thank God.
Oh wait, I have an idea.
[EVP beeps]
Okay, so I boosted the volume of the recording
because in all the videos I've seen,
people seem to only hear communications
from the spirit world when the sound is amplified.
So, here we go.
[computer mouse clicks]
Are there any spirits in this room?
Did you die in this home?
Are you friendly?
[man laughing]
That's weird.
Do you want me here?
[Man] Do you want to die?
[James] Did that just say what I think it said?
I'm going to turn the volume up even more.
[computer mouse clicking]
[Man] Do you want to die?
Do you want to die?
- [dramatic music] - [static]
[James] What was that?
[light switch clicking]
Of course.
[tense music]
Okay.
That's really weird.
I asked the spirits,
do you want me here?
And now the front door is open.
So if that's not a sign, I don't know what is.
So this has been really fun, guys,
but I'm going to pack my shit and go.
[static]
[screaming]
Shit.
I don't have the keys.
Holy crap, you guys.
I have to admit, I did not think anything
was going to happen here.
[panting]
[trees creaking]
[panting]
Oh, my God.
[panting]
I see a light.
Wait a second.
How did I end up back here?
No.
[panting]
Okay.
I don't understand.
I'm right back where I started?
- [screams] - [computer mouse clicks]
It's so good, right?
I've been editing it throughout the day.
The jump scare totally works, I think.
No but the whole like running away and ending up back
at the house thing, that's been done in like every horror film.
So what?
And this mask, has totally messed up my hair.
No, but it looks so good on camera.
Look.
So at this point, we're letting the viewers
know we faked the ghosts.
Kind of kills the mystery.
No, because I was thinking, even if nothing else happens,
the entire time that I'm here, which come on, let's be honest,
nothing's going to happen, then at least we
can start the video with a bang.
Yeah, but what if the owner sees the video?
She's going to be pissed that you didn't ask for permission.
Dude, she has a landline.
I doubt she's online watching influencer's videos.
Okay, so you are an influencer now.
Yeah, I'm a micro influencer.
[James] Isn't this editing software so good?
It's so easy to use. My sister got it for me.
I love it.
That, that Fleur chick, she was amazing.
I know.
Dude, she was willing to do it for free.
Found her on a casting site.
She just wanted demo reel footage.
[keyboard cicks]
She was a ghost.
- They all were. - [keyboard clicks]
Oh, what about the delivery guy?
Oh, no, that guy, he was real.
- [static] - Based on all the vlogs
and videos I've seen,
this is where all you would be ghost hunters would--
Dash, you're in the frame.
- Okay. - Dash get down.
The owner is going to see you, seriously.
Oh my god, you're so demanding.
And I'm supposed to look like I by myself in here.
[both chuckling]
I also have some content of me putting on that ghost getup,
if you want it.
Okay, but I have to show you one more video first.
[James] Come on, shake it and let's go.
You have to film everything?
[James] Don't worry.
I don't think the zoom is strong enough to pick up
your little naughty bits.
Listen, you need a wide angle lens for all of this, baby.
Okay?
[static]
Maybe I should split the video in half,
like post the first episode, get everybody really
hyped thinking it's real, and then we
can post a second episode explaining how we did it,
and then everybody will think that I'm a really good actress.
Or do you think it will go more viral if we just post it
as a real, genuine haunting?
Hmm.
Oh, well I forgot to show you something.
What?
Okay, so, earlier, I was going through my footage,
- Uh huh. - and I noticed something.
Did you find something?
Yeah, if you zoom in here, you just see--Bang!
Oh, my gosh.
I look amazing.
Oh my God.
You get me every single time.
So you thought I was going to zoom in something scary,
but you know the only scary thing is how sexy I look.
Stupid, you're so stupid.
Gosh, you know what, it's fine.
You're helping me so much.
Thank you, seriously thank you
for coming and doing this with me.
Bitch listen, I only came here to see the inside of this place,
but honestly, it's not even that creepy.
It's kind of a let down, actually.
Well yeah, it's because it's not actually abandoned.
Somebody lives here, and we still have to clean it.
We? [chuckles]
You're not going to help me.
Hell, no.
First of all, I have a gig first thing in the morning.
And can you imagine if she showed up and saw me here?
No, no.
But I am gonna stay for one last attempt at real ghost
hunting, after I take a piss.
Love you. I'll be back.
All right. Have fun.
Meet me downstairs, okay?
[urine splashing]
James is gonna love this. [chuckles]
[zipper zipping]
[toilet flushes]
[water running]
[tense music]
[floor creaking]
[Dash] Very funny, James.
James.
What the?
James.
[James] I'm downstairs.
Hey, baby.
Oh, my God. Dash.
I want to weasel into your pants. [gags]
Ewww!
- [Dash] Look at this. - Dude, be careful.
That's taxidermy.
- Give him a kiss. - It's super expensive.
That, that is a sick little-- [gags]
Our little buddy.
You know those were alive at one time.
I mean, I am aware.
All right, here we go.
Lights off for the atmosphere.
Oh, atmosphere.
All right so,
you know some weird moves from your older yoga videos,
yeah?
Dash, where are you going with this?
Okay, so I was thinking we take some shots of you, like,
doing these weird, twisty, bendy contortion moves like--
[groaning]
- Yeah. - People find that shit
- so freaky. - Yeah with this?
With this sexy, big, ol' harness on?
Yeah, with that.
Oh yeah, that'll, that'll really, that'll really go viral.
- It's a good look. - [both laughing]
- You really love it. - Wait, wait.
Or why don't you do it since you love Downward Dog so much.
Oh!
Gladly, it's my specialty.
[moaning]
No, for real, the way you doctored that recording earlier,
genius.
I mean I had to.
This EVP stuff is literally bullshit.
- It's a scam. - [EVP beeps]
Okay, ask.
Is there a spirit in this room?
Come on, let's go over here.
All right, um,
did anyone die in this house?
Come here.
[door creaking]
[James] Are you friendly?
[door opens]
Come on.
Do you want this ass? Oh, oh, oh.
[both laughing]
[Dash] If there are any spirits they're gonna kill us.
Yeah, they do, yeah, they do.
- Like for real. - Okay, wait, wait.
Let's, let's do it, let's do it together.
[Dash] All right wait.
[Both] Do you want us here?
Okay, play it back full volume.
- [EVP beeps] - [James] It's all the way up.
[Dash] Okay.
[James] Is there a spirit in this room?
[Dash] Did anyone die in his house?
[James] Are you friendly?
[Dash] Do you want this ass? Oh, oh, oh.
[both laughing]
[Dash] If there are any spirits they're gonna kill us.
[James] Yeah, they do. Yeah, they do.
- [Dash] Like for real. - [James] Okay, wait, wait.
Let's, let's do it, let's do it together.
[Dash] All right wait.
[Both] Do you want us here?
- [blows raspberry] - Whoa!
- [laughing] - Oh, my God.
Dash, are you kidding me?
- You are so-- - Again?
So easy to scare you.
I keep falling for that.
Gosh.
Guys, she's the scared-iest cat in the whole world.
No, I'm not. I'm not afraid.
I don't believe in this like he does.
Yes, she does, she does.
Gosh.
- Okay, so once again, nothing. - [EVP beeps]
Well, lame.
Ooh, EVP is bullshit.
All right, you guys, well, do not
forget to like and subscribe to the most boring video ever.
[camera beeps]
All right.
Keys.
Gladly.
This stupid thing keeps poking me anyway.
I warned you.
Yeah, you actually did.
Okay, well.
Are you sure you don't want to stay?
There's like eight bedrooms.
Are you telling me that you're afraid to stay
in this big, bad house alone?
No.
It's okay. I'll let it slide.
Okay, well, I'm going to be here to scoop you up
tomorrow, so just call me.
With what?
There's no Wi-Fi or service.
Can you imagine if we planned a live stream, I'd be so screwed?
Could you imagine how many people wouldn't have watched it?
You shush-- you shush up.
Listen, you can use the landline.
Unh unh.
I draw the line at going up to the spooky attic.
Well, then just go during the day, then.
Well, I offered some options.
Okay, whatever.
All right, ta ta.
Au revoir.
Are you okay?
Yeah, I'm fine.
I'll be all good, don't worry.
I mean, like, I know you're fine here but,
like the, the mom stuff.
Ah.
Dash, I'm holding up.
- Thanks. - Okay.
I feel like I need to hug right now, but--
- Yeah, you want to hug me? - Yeah.
You want to hug me, with my, with my device?
Okay.
It's a weapon of mass destruction.
Okay, all right.
I'm going now, I'm going outside
[James] Okay.
Wait, Dash, please don't forget to record yourself
on the way out.
I really want to edit that in.
I got you.
[James] Woo.
But you will owe me residuals.
No contract, no deal.
Then you will be hearing from my lawyers.
[James] Okay, have them call me.
Bye. Be safe.
[James] Bye.
[door closes]
All right.
Just you and me now. [chuckles]
Or just me and the house.
[sighs]
Okay, I definitely don't feel like cleaning yet.
[static]
- I could go check the EVP. - [EVP beeps]
Ooh.
Okay, I am filming myself, James.
Happy?
[breathes deeply]
Oh my God, it's so creepy.
- [tense music] - [insects chirring]
Ooh, spooky.
Have fun in there, all alone tonight.
[Both] Do you want us here?
- [James sighs] - [computer mouse clicks]
[James] Boosted the sound.
I know that we're here for ghost hunting, but I got to admit,
I'm a little relieved that there's not anything on there.
[static]
What was that?
[phone ringing]
[ominous music]
[phone ringing]
Well, I guess I'm going up to the attic.
Oh shit.
[chuckles] It's kind of funny.
[static]
Usually, when I'm on video, there's another man present.
And we're both naked.
All right.
[car alarm chirps]
Whew.
All righty.
Okay.
[engine starts]
[ominous music]
[phone ringing]
Might be the owner calling.
[phone ringing]
So cold in here.
[phone ringing]
Okay, I'm coming, I'm coming.
[phone ringing]
Hello.
Is anyone there?
[Mother] Jamesie.
Who is this?
Why didn't you come see me?
I called you every week.
I tried to fix things, but you wouldn't answer.
You never answered.
Is this is some kind of prank?
They put me in a box, Jamesie.
Painted me up like a doll.
They fixed me up so well, you couldn't even see the hole
in the back of my skull.
Dash.
Dash, was that you?
If that was you, that's not cool.
[tense music]
Okay.
So I don't know what that was.
[phone ringing]
I'm not answering that again.
[phone ringing]
That's just a little bit too much communication for me.
[phone ringing]
[Dash] Oh, it's dark over here.
All right James, you better hope this is worth it,
and that your video takes off because this driving ain't it.
[static]
What's with that?
All right, James, you screwing with me?
- [static] - I, am gonna kill you.
Woo, okay.
All right, well, that's enough filming for me.
Dash signing off.
- [dramatic music] - [door opens]
[camera beeps]
Isn't this cute?
Probably gonna have to come out with some merch of my own
after all of this.
Probably do, like a spooky old landline as a logo, huh.
[sighs]
[fingers tapping phone]
[James] Out.
- Oh, there she is. - Hi, hello.
Oh, my God. You look so hot.
Really, too much, too little?
No, it's perfect.
It's so perfect.
Are you sure I should go out tonight?
Yes, oh, my gosh.
It's your best friend's birthday.
You have to have some sort of life.
I know. Okay, okay.
Which earrings?
- Left for sure. - Left.
- Hoops, hoops, hoops, hoops. - Okay.
- Thank you. - Okay, say hi.
Is this what I have to do?
Now it is to be famous, is just show--
- And wear nothing-- - Yes, that's right.
- [laughing] Oh gosh. - Oh.
[bell ringing]
[Mother] Girls.
Girls.
God, I've been ringing this thing forever.
[Lila] Okay.
Listen, if you could just be a little bit patient with her.
She doesn't feel good.
Don't look at me like that.
Coming, Mom.
[gentle music]
[ominous music]
[sighs] Okay.
Well, there's no way I could fall asleep right now, so.
Let's go downstairs and see if I can find something, like wine.
[chuckles]
[camera beeps]
Update, made it to the kitchen.
I was looking everywhere because I thought
they might have a wine cellar and maybe I missed it,
but no, no wine cellar.
But it's okay.
If I didn't like the attic, I doubt
I would like the basement either.
But I did find a half bottle of wine.
So let's get this party started.
Hmm, oh.
An old radio.
Let's see if it works.
- [radio clicks] - [radio tuning]
[upbeat music playing]
[music becomes ominous]
[static]
[birds chirping]
[dramatic music]
[camera beeps]
Pain au chocolat.
[chuckles]
Morning, guys.
I'm so freaking tired.
I stayed up way too late last night.
I think I drank too much wine, but I
did get a lot of cleaning done, so that's good,
and I still woke up early to get that really cool time
lapse for you guys, so hope you enjoy it.
Oh, and I've been holding out on you guys,
so I found some footage online before I left Paris.
Someone clearly flew a drone over the property.
Isn't it epic?
I think I've had enough of this.
I've got a lot more cleaning to do.
It's just a little bit too sweet for my taste.
What the heck?
[tense music]
[door creaks]
There's nothing.
- [door closes] - [static]
Let's do some dusting.
So much cool stuff in here.
Blah.
Ooh.
So pretty.
The attic windows can just stay dirty.
These look like they've never been cleaned before.
All right.
Last room, the master's quarters.
She said I can only go in to go change the sheets, so.
Oh, it's so dark.
Think I'm gonna open these.
Oh.
Much better.
[ominous music]
Unh unh, no, absolutely not.
Nope, unh unh, we're not doing that.
Okay.
Much better.
Oh.
Let's see.
Oh, wow.
Hmm.
That must be the husband.
So old school.
Gonna make this bed real quick.
[static]
- [camera beeps] - [birds chirping]
Hey, guys.
I'm all done cleaning, woo.
Cleaning is complete.
Just doing a little walk.
Honestly, don't know what time the owner is coming back
because she actually didn't tell me, so.
Dash.
Dash, are you still here?
What?
No keys.
What?
Okay.
That's super weird.
Ah...
It's 1:00 PM.
Dash said he had a catering gig this morning, so.
Oh, my gosh.
He knew that he was going to play this prank on me
this whole time.
Are you kidding me?
Dash.
Okay!
You let me go a whole night thinking I was by myself?
Gosh, what the heck?
[Pia] Who are you talking to?
[James] I...
I was just recording myself.
Who are you?
- I'm looking for my dog. - [static]
Have you seen him?
Actually, yeah.
I may have.
It was earlier this morning.
I don't know where he could have gone, though.
He can be tricky.
Baguette.
Baguette, you here, boy?
Baguette?
I know, it's a silly name.
No, it's just-- wait, what was your name?
Will you help me look for him?
- [footsteps receding] - [tense music]
[James] What the heck?
- She's... - [door rattles]
[light clicks]
Nothing.
[Pia] Baguette?
Did you find him?
[static]
[screaming]
[gasps]
[tense music]
[door creaking]
Hello.
Where'd you go?
Hello.
Look, I'm really sorry about your dog.
I'm happy to help you look, but this isn't actually my house,
so I can't just, you know have you walking around on your own.
[ominous music]
- [camera beeps] - Hey, you guys.
I'm,
still here. [chuckles]
Uh, still no sign of the owner, but I'm
sitting out here with all my crap out here waiting for her.
[thunder rumbles]
Of course, it's fricking raining.
- [James sighs] - [rain pattering]
I thought about calling her, but I
don't want to go back up to that creepy attic room again.
Um...
So I can't find the keys anywhere.
Thought about walking.
But in the middle of freaking nowhere,
I don't even know which way I would even go.
Um...
So I can't find Dash.
Or that weird dog girl.
Um...
It's just getting a little weird,
but um, I'm gonna stick it out because, well, I
need the check, and um...
I promised you guys that you would have content.
So, I'm bringing you the ghost hunt.
So.
[clattering]
[James] Dash.
I just heard something.
Dash.
[door creaking]
[tense music]
I'm not falling for that again.
- [static] - [screaming]
[static]
Hey.
Hey, help.
Help.
[static]
Oh, no.
[static]
[screaming]
[gun fires]
- [birds squawking] - [static]
Oh, my God!
[static]
- [static] - Holy shit!
Oh my--
[screaming]
[door slams]
- [static] - [door locks]
- [static] - [camera beeps]
[door rattling]
Bonjour.
Who are you?
Parles-tu français?
No.
English.
Ah.
I am Reggie.
[chuckles]
Reggie?
Oh, that wouldn't happen to be short for Reginald, would it?
It is, in fact, Reginald Poirot.
Yeah, the hunter, right?
What, did Dash put you up to this?
Dash?
Oh, no, no.
He's not been one for jokes since he joined us.
I think he's still getting used to his new situation.
Oh, yeah, you mean being dead?
Eh.
Like the window washer out here.
Um, yeah, and the girl, Pia.
Oh, don't mind her.
She's like a broken record.
Always looking for that damn dog.
[scoffs]
[Reggie] She's kind of like your mother that way.
[Reggie] Hmm.
What did you say?
Well, wouldn't you agree?
Always going on and on about not calling her back.
How you abandoned her.
[tense music]
I didn't abandon her.
Okay, this is seriously sick.
Go get Dash.
Can't blame her for how she did it, though.
Guns are the quickest way to go.
[thunder rumbles]
Get away from the door.
I'm gonna call the police.
[chuckles] Will you?
I don't think you want to go up there again, hmm.
Please, leave me alone.
[thunder rumbles]
[insects chirring]
[camera beeps]
Hey, you guys.
Uh, so, I'm going through footage because I'm
trying to distract myself because I don't want
to go back out there with him.
Um...
And I was looking at a time lapse video
that I took on my first night here when I was sleeping,
and I found something really weird.
Look.
[keyboard clicks]
[ominous music]
[keyboard clicks]
Who the hell is that?
Okay, and I found her in a second video.
Yesterday while I was filming the tour, I rigged my phone
and I dangled it down the staircase.
This place is, like three stories tall,
so I thought that this would be cool way
to see another view of the house.
But look closely.
Did you see?
It's her again.
You know, of course, I want to say that it's Dash in a wig,
but the reality is I just don't think that Dash is here anymore.
And I want to call the cops, but I
don't want to get him in trouble,
and I don't know what to do.
What do they do in Horror movies?
They just hide under the covers when they're freaked out.
Well, as I expected, a paper thin sheet
does not make me feel any safer.
- [ominous music] - [static]
[Ma] Oh baby.
Oh, baby.
Oh, my baby.
Who are you?
[static]
[bell ringing]
Mom.
Go.
[tense music]
That definitely wasn't Dash in a wig.
[static]
[gunshot]
[gasps]
- [static] - [bell ringing]
[tense music]
[phone ringing]
- It's not her. - [phone ringing]
It's not really my mom.
[phone ringing]
[door creaking]
[phone ringing]
[Mother] Jamesie, it's wonderful on this side.
It's so quiet.
Who the hell is this?
It's your mother.
No.
No, it's not.
What makes you say that?
Because my mother's dead.
She was buried yesterday.
Then why is she standing behind you?
[screaming]
[tense music]
[Mother] Come on, Jamesie.
Don't you want to give your mother a goodbye kiss?
[door creaking]
[screaming]
[panting]
[James] Dash.
Dash.
Oh.
Oh!
Dash.
Get me out of here.
No.
[Dash] James.
We're not gonna let you leave, James.
Dash.
One bar.
[whimpering]
[phone line trilling]
[Mother] 911, what's your emergency?
- Oh my God. - [static]
Help me, my friend, he's dead.
I'm stuck in Murder Castle, and I can't get out.
Please, ma'am, calm down.
You said you're stranded?
Yeah, I can't find my keys.
Why don't you make a run for it?
Because the door is stuck.
Well, you could always go back upstairs.
What did you say?
[Multiple voices] Why don't you go back up to the attic
and let mother take care of you?
[phone clicks]
[Dash] They don't have 911 in France.
It's 17 here.
It's just a house.
It's tricky here.
Have you seen my dog?
Screw you and your dog.
If you want a easy way out, I can lend you my rifle.
Please, why won't you let me leave?
[camera beeps]
So, I certainly can't deny that
something weird is going on here.
I mean, not just weird.
I mean, this place is genuinely and thoroughly haunted.
[static]
I'm starting to worry that maybe the owner is not
gonna come back.
Um, that maybe she knew this was gonna happen
and left me here.
It feels like these ghosts, they need a soul to trap and torment,
and I've been left as the proxy.
And I saw my mom.
I talked to her up there, and she died three days ago.
And Dash, I mean, I thought I finally had a story
that people would care about.
I thought you guys would all want to see Murder Castle,
and I thought that, I through some crazy twist of fate,
got the golden ticket, and it turns out
all the stories are really true.
- [door opens] - Bonsoir.
Oh, you're still filming.
Yeah, yeah, I am.
The house's reputation precedes itself, I see.
It's all right to be curious.
Many people are.
Um,
so I'm actually done cleaning, and um, everything's all set.
Thank you so much.
Wait, I need to write you a check.
And don't you want an interview?
An interview?
With me for your video?
You would do that?
Perhaps it's time I break my silence.
[door creaking, closes]
There you go.
Thank you.
I apologize about the coffee.
I can never get it just right.
No, no, it's totally fine.
I'm kind of a wuss with coffee, but I definitely
need the energy, um...
All right, let's begin.
You've been through something.
Oh, yeah.
It's been a pretty crazy weekend.
I meany, in life.
It, it radiates off of you.
The pain.
Okay, no, no, no, no.
You're the one in the hot seat.
You share, I share.
Okay.
My mom, um, she passed away recently.
I wasn't there, um...
We weren't really that close.
She was a very hateful woman.
Um...
My dad, he left us when we were kids
and uh, kind of did something to her and her psyche,
- and she was never the same. - [gentle music]
After that, she would always just like, lash out
at my sister and I.
Nothing we ever did was good enough.
It was always just tearing us down.
Oh, and now you seek affirmation through--
Yes, views and subscribers.
I know it's very pathetic.
And what happened to her?
How did she die?
It was cancer.
Um...
It kind of just got way too unbearable for me to see,
so I just had to leave.
I guess the pain just became unbearable
because she swallowed a bullet.
She did it in the shower, so she was at least
thoughtful with the cleanup, right?
Uh...
But yeah, she didn't leave a suicide note or anything,
but she did leave me a, a voicemail that I just
haven't been able to listen to it because
you know, what if she blames me?
Well, that's quite a story.
Yeah, so back to you.
Um...
So have you ever, you know seen or experienced anything here?
Anything supernatural?
Of course I have.
After all, I've put many of them here.
[ominous music]
What do you mean by that?
I killed them.
Oh well, some of them.
And my father before me and his father before that, and it's
been happening for centuries.
Is this some kind of joke?
Oh, no, no, it's not a joke.
Okay.
You're freaking me out a little.
Good.
It likes you better when you're scared.
It?
The house.
You didn't bring me here to clean.
I'm sorry about the coffee.
I can never get the mixture just right.
I hope I haven't given you too much.
[Andrea] Oh, James.
I needed someone.
Someone with no connection.
Someone who was alone in life, and, well,
that no one would miss.
[camera beeps]
[keyboard clicks]
[James] What's going on?
Thought I'd save the battery up for you until you come around.
The house, it demands sacrifices.
We don't know why.
We just know that it does.
Maybe an ancestor made a deal with the devil.
Or maybe it was built on cursed ground.
But it doesn't really matter now, right?
It's just,
it's just what must be done to preserve the bloodline.
Houses don't eat people.
You've seen things here, right, James?
Don't deny it.
Yeah, the souls of the innocent people that you and your family
have murdered.
[chuckles] So you have met the residents.
I'm not surprised.
Some are more shy than others.
Pia, oh, my God.
Pia, she can be a nag, can't she?
Where's my dog?
And the window washer, picked him up on the side of the road.
All it took to get him here was the promise of a warm meal.
Hmm, didn't mention it would be poisoned, though.
What about Ma?
Did she tuck you into bed last night?
- Ma? - Well, she's not my own mother.
Ma is just what I decided to call her.
She was with child at the time of her demise.
I guess she still get that motherly instinct.
[scraping]
[sighs] Don't mind him.
My husband.
You killed your own husband?
Is it killing, if you just lock the pantry door,
stranding him with plenty of food, but, but no water.
Hmm?
Don't you dare look at me like that.
Do you think I wanted to do this?
He found out, about my family.
Our legacy.
Needless to say that, he didn't approve, so I had no choice.
[tense music]
Oh, and did they drive you mad with that old phone?
Some of them like to communicate through it.
I'm not sure why.
You've heard about the connections between spirits
and electronics, I assume.
Ah, it can get quite disruptive ringing all hours of the night.
What if this killing is all for nothing?
What if this curse isn't even real?
Even so, I'd rather not find out.
Okay, but the bodies, you know, where do you put them
if, if the police never found them?
The house.
The house swallowed them all.
[James grunts]
The doors are locked.
You'd never make it out, even if your hands were unbound.
[tense music]
I found him.
[whimpering]
[panting]
[Reggie] I can lend you my rifle.
[door creaking]
[softly] Shit, Shit.
[soft ominous music]
[static]
[scraping]
[gasps]
[static]
For me?
Dash.
[softly] Thank you.
[static]
[screaming]
[static]
[Andrea] You found his things, did you?
[James screaming, panting]
You killed Dash.
I did.
So wouldn't he count as one of your sacrifices?
I guess you're right.
I guess I should cut you free then.
Yes.
- [banging] - [radio playing music]
[James screaming]
I'm only joking.
You know too much now.
Two for the price of one, just like with Ma.
[chuckles]
You enjoy this.
You could have killed me earlier, but you didn't.
I would have finished it all sooner,
but I'm not stupid, James.
I realized you brought a friend with you.
Now it's your time to join him and your mother.
[slashing]
[James groans]
[blood splattering]
[Andrea gurgling]
I guess the house got its sacrifice after all.
[radio playing music fades]
[door creaking open]
Do you get it now why they wouldn't let you leave?
[James] They wanted me to get her confession.
Goodbye, James.
Bye, Dash.
[phone ringing]
[Mother's voicemail] It's me, Mom.
I understand why you didn't pick up,
And why you probably won't even listen to this,
but if for some reason you do, if one day your hate for me
isn't quite as strong as it is today,
I just want to say I'm sorry.
I could have been much better.
Much better for you and your sister.
And I'm so grateful you never came home to see me this way.
So, I guess that's it.
Bye Jamesie.
I'd hate me too.
But maybe now, I can only hope you hate me a little less.
[voicemail ends]

What was it again?
17.
The house swallowed them all.
