Catastrophe and the Valley

The Pokhara Valley is nestled at the foot of the Annapurna Range in the Himalayas, a broad flat plain surrounded by steep-sided hills and mountains. The swift-flowing Seti Khola river which carves its way across the plain has shaped the valley into dramatic terraces, the river and its tributaries plunging through narrow gorges and tunnels, potholes and caves.

Unlike other basins in the Himalaya, like those near Kathmandu or Kashmir which formed as lakes dried up and sediment filled the basins, the Pokhara Valley's origin was unknown for many years. As the river slices through the rock of the valley, it reveals the history of the valley through cross-section. Rather than lacustrine sediments, the valley is filled with thick beds of gravel, with embedded boulders that range from 1 meter to a massive 32 meters wide. The total thickness of the gravels decreases from over 100 meters upstream to ~60 meters downstream, with an estimated volume of more than 4 cubic kilometers.

The shape of the valley adds another clue to its origin: the plain slopes both downward and laterally away from a central axis, giving the river a braided character. These are all characteristic of an alluvial outwash fan, a fan-shaped deposit of course sediments carried out of the mountains by debris flows or torrential discharge. But the size of the gravel deposits plus radiocarbon dating of the matrix holding the gravels together suggests that the alluvial fan didn't fill up the valley slowly over time. Catastrophic events within the space of 300 years triggered the rapid filling of the valley by giant debris flows.

The Pokhara gravels are the geomorphological footprints of earthquakes from the past. The radiocarbon dates from the gravel beds align with at least 3 medieval earthquakes that were likely >M8, in ~1100, 1255, and 1344 CE. The earthquakes are the only mechanism capable of setting such a catastrophic volume of material into motion at once, fueling the massive debris flows of rock and water with rock and ice avalanches on the steep slopes of Annapurna III and IV, high above the valley. -CEL

Holy Week 2017: Things To Do in Cagayan Valley

The bus station's packed with people streaming in and out, all of them dressed in their most comfortable clothes, bags and packages in hand, each one seemingly excited to go to their respective destinations. It was the Wednesday where most work is finally at halt to give way to the celebration of Holy Week which happens to be last April 12. 

My family decided to have a quick vacation in my mom's hometown Cagayan Valley, specifically in Solana. The whole bus ride took almost 12 hours that when I woke up it's already 10 in the morning, passing by tall fields of rice and corn, and trees growing on terraced hills. An occasional bridges and ponds and river winding through a flat stretch of land. 

Located in Northeastern side of mainland Luzon, not many people think of Cagayan Valley as a vacation spot but it is a home to many old Spanish churches, caves, and the longest river bridge in the Philippines. Beating the scorching heat, here are some things you can do while you're in Cagayan: 

Visit Basilica Minore of Our Lady of Piat. 

It has become one of our traditions when we go to Cagayan Valley — to visit this church. A significant pilgrimage site of the North, it is one of the 12 minor basilicas in the Philippines and a home to the venerated Black Virgin Mary. The church structure is mainly made of red bricks and stained glass windows located on top of a hill to avoid floods. Surrounding the basilica stood the Piat Basilica Museum, Blessing sites for religious items, Parish Convent, and life-sized representation of the Stations of the Cross. 

Cross Buntun Bridge.

Tagged as the longest river bridge in the country, it stretches from Tuguegarao to Solana and spans over Cagayan River, the largest river basin in the Philippines. Since we live in Solana area, we always cross this 1.098 km long bridge— that long enough to carry more than 18 tons of vehicles. I haven't tried going to the bottom of the bridge though. 

Explore Callao Cave.

Known for the chapel built inside the cave, Callao Cave, nestled in Peñablanca, consists of seven chambers which illuminates light filters in from a natural crevice above. It was an uphill battle to get to the cave entrance as it takes 184 steps going up so have your water bottles and handkerchiefs ready. For only 20 pesos, you can wander around the beauty of a limestone cave where stalactites and stalagmites have formed inside. There's this stillness and tranquility that you can feel inside the cave especially with the presence of the chapel. After which, we tried the wooden boat ride in Pinacanauan River passing through a small rainforest, a bat, scenic rocky cliffs and picturesque river bank with clear water. 

Ride Kalesa.

We always make sure that we try riding kalesa every time we visit our province to have a tour around town. As one of their means of transportation, riding kalesa is very cheap and very convenient as you can frequently see a lot around the town. Made of a wooden cart with a roof and a pair of rubber wheels, it can seat as many as eight persons. It feels nostalgic riding the kalesa as somehow it takes you back to the Spanish era. 

Eat Ilokano’s local delicacies.

Ilokanos have rich delicacies and some of them are the Pancit Batil Patong, Papaitan, and Special Halo-halo. Pancit Batil Patong, also known as Pancit Tuguegarao, is a noodle dish made up of miki and an overload of toppings and is one thing you should try if you ever get to visit the town. Another dish popularized by Ilokanos is the Papaitan. It is a bitter and spicy stew consisting of beef or goat innards as liver, heart, tripe and the bitter bile (apdo). On our way home, we bought halo-halo and to my surprise, the halo-halo consists of malagkit rice plus the other usual ingredients. Also, they put yema on top instead of leche flan or ube which also tastes good.

Banshee Draft 5

Ext. Day. Edge of forest. 

ANGUS and HEATHER run down the side of a slippery hill in a forest. They pause to take in the sight. In front of them is a huge bridge of ancient stone leading to a castle above. They are surrounded by looming walls and knobbly dead trees. 

HEATHER 

Of all the places to trip balls you choose this place, it’s proper blair witch over here. 

ANGUS 

Ah so you’re Billy Big Baws right up ‘til we’re here, shitebag. 

HEATHER (shakes head) 

*tuts* Fuck up.  

(Teasing) 

It's no the forest, it’s being alone with a psycho bastart like you. 

(In condescending voice) 

Had yer pills today McMurphy? 

They stare each other down for a moment as though she has crossed a line, then both scoff and walk together deeper into the woods. 

Ext. Day. Forest 

Angus and Heather wander lackadaisically around the woods. 

Ext. Day. Forest 

Angus’s attention shoots from tree to bush to ground, taking none of it in. Heather notices his distress and clicks her fingers 

Heather 

Angus come on look at me 

Angus’s eyes lock onto Heathers. 

Heather 

It’s just a bad point in the trip okay? Yea? It’ll pass soon now don’t worry. It’s all waves remember, you just have to ride them.  

Heather is now right in front of Angus and sits the two of them down against a tree.  

Heather 

Just breathe with me alright? 1 

2 

3 

Angus breathes to the pace Heather sets and slowly calms down. 

Cuts to Black 

Ext. Night. Cave. 

The two stand by the entrance of a cave. An eerie singing comes from within, punctuated by sloshing water and a strange wet slapping noise. Heather leads the way in 

Int. Night. Cave. 

The space is filled with contrasting shadows and moonlight. A woman in a ragged grey dress and a dirty blind fold is half hidden in darkness, washing clothes in an old wooden bucket.  

Angus steps back quivering but Heather seems somehow mesmerised by the woman.  

ANGUS(Whispering) 

Heather 

She doesn’t seem to hear 

ANGUS(Louder) 

Heather! 

Silence fills the cave.  

Water drips from the Banshee’s translucent white and veiny blue hands.  

Heathers eyes widen as The Banshee raises its head and slightly cocks its ear.   

Ext. Night Forest 

Angus blindly stumbles through tripping roots and scratching branches. The Banshee’s wails seem to follow him even when his legs are shaking and chest heaving.  

The screams finally begin to die away of their own accord. Angus leans against a tree, counting 

Angus 

One, two, three four 

Int. Morning. Kitchen. 

Angus blows into a steaming cup of tea. Dim wintery light filters in from outside. Angus turns to Heather, words on his lips, but finds her muttering to herself.  

Heather is hunched over the basin totally still and reminds Angus strangely of the Banshee. Water drips from her limp hands. 

HEATHER 

No no I can’t do that, I can’t. 

ANGUS 

Heather?...Who are you talking to? 

Heather turns to him surprised. 

HEATHER 

What you on about? 

[Confused frown] 

You look a mess mate, you alright? 

Angus shakes his head dismissively. He reaches for his tea but it is somehow on his other side.   

ANGUS 

Something was wrong with those shrooms, Fuck knows what I did that night but I’m s... nah I'm being para... I mean, you’ve not fully been... here. Will you tell me what happened? 

HEATHER 

Man! nothing happened 

The basement door thumps from the other room as though someone had hit it hard from below. Angus leans to the side to try see what the noise was. He slowly leans forward to try and see what happened. Heather, from the sink, holds her hand out, drops a glass and smashes it. Angus jumps out his skin. 

HEATHER 

Sorry. 

At a loss for words Angus looks into his tea.  Black blobs like blood spread through it. He tries to stare the tea back to normality. 

Heather 

I trusted you and you left me behind 

Angus is snapped out of the trance. He turns to Heather to continue their conversation to find she is gone. Angus’s wheezy breathing rattles out his mouth so he counts but seems unable to calm down 

He sits on the couch, hugging legs to chest and counting.  

Int. Night. Kitchen 

Angus sits up confused and disoriented to a dark room. There’s a knocking noise over a humming which seems to be eternally getting lower pitched.  

Int. Night. Angus’s room 

The shadows are a deep crimson and blood red shoots out the projector to bounce of a blank wall above the bed. The room is a pile of clothes, dishes and cigarette paraphernalia.  

A large black amp hums its strange noise from a chest of drawers by the door, which Angus switches off. But the low banging continues from elsewhere in the dark flat.  

Int. Night. Hallway. 

A bar of light shines from the cupboard across the hall, beyond it, darkness. The banshee, unnoticed, watches him from within the darkness. The noise comes from Heather’s room. 

He opens the door. 

Int. Night. Heather’s room 

The curtains are closed, the room is dark. A single red lamp casts dim light in the far corner. Heather’s shadowy figure is moving strangely back and forth by the wall, but it is difficult to make out what she is doing in the dark. Angus takes a step closer 

She is repeatedly banging her head off the white wall with an awful force.  

Blood splatters out of her nose and cut up gums. Her face, wall and t-shirt are covered.  

In a rush Angus turns the lights on. Blinding white light destroys shadows lurking in the corners. Suddenly Heather is by her bed looking perplexed and clicking her fingers.  

Heather 

Angus...Hallooo? 

Angus can hardly respond, he hardly breathes, hardly moves, except an imperceptible shake of his head.  

Silhouetted by the bar of light across the corridor the Banshee watches Angus.  

Heather 

Angus I really think you should speak to someone. 

He switches the light back off just to see what happens. 

Heather smashes her face off the wall once again. The blood has spread everywhere and is flying through the air in drops.  

Heather lurches away from the wall as though breaking free but is incredibly tense. 

She seems to be trying to speak but nothing escapes her lips. She slowly and shakily forces her hand up, either trying to point or reach for help. 

Angus is transfixed and doesn’t notice the Banshee, now standing right behind him. He takes a hesitant step towards Heather, but turns to leave. The Banshee has vanished from behind him, then a bone breaking crack comes from Heather’s direction. Tentatively he turns. 

Heather stands in the corner staring at him, head ominously tilted forward and hair covering her face.  

Her arm bends forwards and inwards with a blood curdling Crack. Her knees bend inwards and her foot forwards. Crack 

She goes for Angus, each step bringing more destruction to her twisted body.  

Int. Night. Hallway 

Angus turns to run, almost right into the Banshee who is blocking the hall. He has nowhere to go but his room and slams the door closed. 

Int. Night. Angus’s Bedroom 

Angus holds the door knob, hands shaking, as though his life depends on it. But nothing happens and he begins to calm down.  

Unbeknown to him the trap door is open right behind his feet. He takes a cautious step back, then another, and falls. There is a horrible crack from his landing. 

Int. Night. Basement 

Angus groans in a square of red light coming from above. Whispers and the dripping of water permeates the shadowy basement. Dark shapes loom about him but he doesn’t know what they are.  

Angus tries to stand up but on putting weight on his left leg he cries out in pain and falls back down. The whispering stops but the dripping noise continues. All his movements seem unnaturally loud in the deep underground silence. 

He takes his phone light out and shines it around in a slow circle around him.  

Right at the edge of light is the banshee, suddenly illuminated by the phone light, watching him through its blind fold. He cries out once again and drops his phone. 

In the red light he closes his eyes and tries to block out the horror of his situation. There’s noises of something moving around him 

Angus 

One, Two, Three, Four, Five. 

He’s pulled himself together slightly and picks his phone up to gingerly point where the banshee had been. It’s gone. Instead, in the far corner is a stool he could use to get out.  

Unsure of his ability to walk he half crawls along the ground, making slow progress to the stool. The light flashes about the space momentarily lighting strange creepy objects as he passes. 

He reaches the stool and pauses a moment. A faint crying noise comes from the darkness. It sounds just like Heather. 

Angus 

Heather? 

HEATHER 

No, no, no please no. 

He grabs his phone and shines it about. About a meter away is the thing, hunched away from him, shaking as though its crying.  

Banshee 

[Screams in pain] 

Please stop, please I’ll do anything.   [beat]  I don’t care, he left me. Whatever you want just let me go.   [a gasp of relieved air]  Thank you, than... 

Angus’s face screws up in a rage. He grabs the nearest thing and flings it. But the Banshee is gone.  

Angus’s breath speeds up but he tries to hold it together. He grabs the stool and swings it over his waist then pushes it back to the red hole above.  

He now counts each push of the chair, going to five repeatedly 

Angus 

One, Two, Three, Four, Five 

He places the stool under the hole beside the heavy table and stand up with the support of the two object. Now he has to pull himself up to stand on the wobbly stool.  

He holds himself up with the table and stool and pulls his strong leg onto the stool beside his hand. His bad leg hangs in the air underneath him. With one hand on the table behind him for support he reaches for the edge of the hole. 

He can’t quite reach it. 

The sounds of Heather crying begin once again, like a multitude of recordings all cut and over laid together. Her weeping, screaming in pain and begging for help. The noise makes him jump and he almost falls off the stool, having to grab back on with his outstretched hand. 

Once again he has to pull himself together 

Angus 

One, Two – aw fuck this 

This time he goes for broke and lurches with his hand for the hole, just grabbing it. The stool wobbles beneath him.  With his hand on the floor above he stands one footed on the stool and his head just about enters the other room. 

Int. Night. Living Room 

Angus looks over the edge into his room, it seems empty in the translucent red light. He wedges his elbows on either side of him with hand palm down on the ground 

Takes a moment to mentally prepare himself.  

Then pulls his weight onto his arms. The chair clatters beneath.  

His Face strains with the effort. Slowly but surely, he pulls up, going red and breathing hard with the effort. 

He gets his arms locked beneath him, he’s more or less out of the hole. His breath frees up with the relief of pressure physical and emotional. He lets out a small laugh, his head hanging limp 

Then seems to be yanked back down from below. A look of terror passes over his face as he looks up, almost questioningly.  

Then he is rushed downwards into the darkness. A thump and a crack follow. 

There is silence except for dripping.  

Crimson shadows dominate the red room. 

Heather emerges from the darkness. She has been watching all along.  

She stands over the hole and looks down into the darkness. 

Then closes the trap door. 

She disappears back into the darkness 

Time passes until night becomes day. 

Int. Day. Living Room 

The red light is mostly lost under the pale orange light of sunrise. The shadows are mostly obliterated leaving an inviting well lit room.  

Heather has also disappeared.

The basement will flood if you leaks. The basement has potential to flood when the rest of your house has flooded, or maybe if a pipe explodes. Specialists are encouraging more common than you think, so don't think it couldn't happen you r! There are Trigger Systems Sumps to can protect your investments, as well as lower the hassle of dealing with floods. Belly place to start is waterproofing your attic. It has standard pre-flight and primary instruments features during its days. More affordable some minor design quirks like the fuel selector that was located concerning the left side making it harder to double in case the gas tank is made. There have been some incidents of some student pilots missing this out. Throughout the ground checking, Piper creators designed the Warrior attain printed checklists on the panel, that makes it a factor on this airplane considering that it needs more steps much more than its Cessna rival. Basin: Thoroughly flush and clean the cooling tower basin. Remove any debris that could clog the strainers and pumps. Inspect steel basin for corrosion and holes. All Sumps should be observed for accumulation of debris, condition of screens and operation drain valves. They can be programmed to heat and cool at specific times of day time and night, weekday and weekend. Simply by not home during day time all week long can certainly set the thermostat the following less heating and air conditioning at today. Then you are able to for any kind of want a single before you home obviously you can will be just right when you walk associated with door. I loved sump three, it was much smaller and scraggly looking and was probably my favorite sump. After making 5 trips across Toad Hall in order to carry all my dive gear across, submerging into smooth surface will last water was most greetings. I headed towards the end of the fishing line Craig Challen laid in 2008 unfortunately had to turn on gas before really first end. Considering that it turned out I any mere 20m off extremely best end for the cave and therefore managed setting a record for a long cave investigate further Australia to secure a female. Still, as far as I'm concerned you're either the initial or you're one of many. Craig beat me for it so there isn't much create home close to. Nonetheless, it was a wickedly cool dive and I enjoyed myself immensely. This house had an exterior breaker box originally installed for the AC increase. This box had 2 different people of extra spaces to barefoot jogging that launched a perfect place to pull power for the actual septic pump system. I used a 20 AMP GFI breaker for that Sumps service and a 15 AMP standard breaker for the alarm. Their local ACE hardware had the right breakers to do this older Square D unit. Strawberries which flooded for more than 48 hrs will probably die and require to get replaced. Raspberries, blackberries, blueberries and grapes will not stand being submerged for more information than two days or maybe 4 days in standing water. Excess fat perennials a person have can obtain the fruit plants out from the ground and hold them somewhere water drains you may save them.

Arctic ocean acidifying at an unprecedented rate.

As ever more carbon dioxide pours into the atmosphere, much of it is absorbed into the oceans. When it dissolves in water, it forms a weak acid called carbonic acid, which on land is responsible for dissolving and eroding out the lovely caves and karst landscapes we see in limestone country. In the ocean its effect is less beautiful or beneficial, as many kinds of plankton, crustacean (such as shrimp) and mollusc form shells of the same calcium carbonate that limestone is made of. The acid eats away at the shell as it is secreted, making the organism work alot harder in order to keep itself shielded. Corals are another organism at threat from acidification, and many ecologists worry that (along with other threats) acidification is contributing to their global retreat.

A new study by the USGS and the University of South Florida suggests that Arctic waters are acidifying faster than expected as they are increasingly exposed to the atmosphere by the rapid retreat of sea ice in the boreal regions of the world. This has worrying implications for the rich ecosystems of the area, already struggling to adapt as the globe warms, as lab studies have quantified the effect of acid water on the shell producing capacity of organisms.

Last year's record melt exposed new waters to the atmosphere, and caused a peak in acidification. The fresh water from the melting ice also increases acidity by diluting the alkaline salts dissolved in sea water, including the calcium and carbonate organisms need to make their protective shells.

The research investigated sea water chemistry over three years at high spatial resolution, and showed a very fast and large increase in acidification in the newly exposed areas of the Arctic ocean in the Canadian Basin due to the retreat of the multi year sea ice. They have shown how rapidly changes can occur, as well as providing a baseline set of data in a relatively poorly sampled region from which to assess future change.

Script draft 4

Ext. Day. Edge of forest. 

ANGUS and HEATHER run down the side of a slippery hill in a forest. They pause to take in the sight. In front of them is a huge bridge of ancient stone leading to a castle above. They are surrounded by looming walls and knobbly dead trees. 

HEATHER 

This is mad, looks like we’ll be trippin with witches or summit. 

ANGUS 

Ah so you’re Billy Big Baws right up ‘til we’re here, shitebag. 

HEATHER (shakes head) 

*tuts* Fuck up.  

(Teasing) 

It's no the forest, it’s being alone with a psycho bastart like you. 

(In condescending voice) 

Had yer pills today McMurphy? 

They stare each other down for a moment as though she has crossed a line, then both scoff and walk together into the woods. 

Ext. Day. Forest. 

Angus runs up to Heather with some mushrooms in hand. Heather takes one without breaking her stride and examines it.  

HEATHER 

Aye right. 

ANGUS 

Wit? Gonnae trust me? 

HEATHER 

Mate, since when were you a connoisseur. Eat the wrong one and you die in minutes, eat the next one and you’re on a permo. Either way, you’re fucked. 

ANGUS 

Call me the shroomoisseur 

He winks at her and gubs the rest. She pushes him away but he continues on, veering off to look for more shrooms. 

ANGUS (Overly Posh) 

Mmmm... I’m getting some real Earthy flavours, with some slight psychedelic aromas. 

Heather rolls her eyes.  

Ext. Day Forest. 

The two lie on the ground head to head. They’re both lightly laughing at nothing in particular. Heather suddenly becomes serious. 

ANGUS 

What’s up? 

HEATHER (Suddenly serious) 

Uh... my arse feels weird... I... I think I’ve shat myself. 

ANGUS 

You what? 

He howls with laughter. 

ANGUS 

The grounds wet you tit, calm down. 

HEATHER(trying not to laugh) 

Nah fuck off, seriously. 

HEATHER sits up and out of shot.  

Cuts to Black 

Ext. Night. Cave. 

The two stand by the entrance of a cave. An eerie singing comes from within, punctuated by sloshing water and a strange wet slapping noise.  

Int. Night. Cave. 

The space is filled with contrasting shadows and moonlight. Heather leads the way in.  

A woman in a ragged grey dress and a dirty blind fold is half hidden in darkness, washing clothes in an old wooden bucket.  

Angus steps back quivering but Heather seems somehow mesmerised by the woman.  

ANGUS(Whispering) 

Heather 

She doesn’t seem to hear 

ANGUS(Louder) 

Heather! 

Silence fills the cave. Water drips from the Banshee’s translucent white and veiny blue hands. Everyone is frozen. Heathers eyes widen as The Banshee raises its head and slightly cocks its ear. Angus cracks and abandons his friend.  

Ext. Night Forest 

Angus blindly stumbles through tripping roots and scratching branches. The Bansheee’s wails seem to follow him even when his legs are shaking and chest heaving.  

The screams finally begin to die away of their own accord. Angus leans against a tree, trying to control his breath. 

Int. Morning. Kitchen. 

Angus blows into a steaming cup of tea. Dim wintery light filters in from outside. A quite banging comes from some unknown source. Angus turns to Heather, words on his lips, but finds her muttering to herself.  

Heather is hunched over the basin totally still and reminds Angus strangely of the Banshee. Water drips from her limp hands. 

HEATHER 

No no I can’t do that, I can’t. 

ANGUS 

Heather?...Who are you talking to? 

Heather turns to him surprised. 

HEATHER 

What you on about? 

[Confused frown] 

You look a mess mate, you alright? 

Angus shakes his head dismissively. He reaches for his tea but it is somehow on his other side.   

ANGUS 

Something was wrong with those shrooms, Fuck knows what I did that night but I’m s... nah I'm being para... I mean, you’ve not fully been... here. Will you tell me what happened? 

HEATHER 

Man! nothing happened 

The basement door thumps from the other room as though someone had hit it hard from below. Angus leans to the side to try see what the noise was but Heather distracts him.  

HEATHER 

But I trusted you man, and you fucking left me alone in a dark forest. Where did you go? 

Angus hangs his head in shame and looks into his tea. Black blobs like blood spread through it. He squeezes his eyes shut. 

Angus 

Ignore it. Ignore it 

He opens his eyes and sighs on finding the tea normal. He turns to Heather to continue their conversation to find she is gone.  

Int. Morning. Hallway 

Angus heads to the bathroom door but pauses on noticing a banging from Heather’s room. The door creaks as he enters the room. 

Int. Morning. Heather’s room 

The blinds are closed, the room is dark. Heather’s shadowy figure repeatedly bangs its head off a cupboard door with an awful force. Heather breaks down, bloody hands towards Angus and bloody face a plea for help 

HEATHER 

What the fuck! What the fuck? What the fuck is going on?  

In a rushed panic Angus turns the lights on. Suddenly Heather is standing closer to him by her bed looking perplexed.  

Heather 

You sure you’re alright Angus? Honestly if something’s messing with your head we can talk about it 

Angus shakes his head and backs out of the door. 

Int. Day. Bathroom 

Angus Wretches into the toilet. Angus’s hands shake as he takes a panic attack searching the bathroom cabinet for anti-anxiety pills. He gubs the pills.  

Angus sinks to the ground, back to the bath and, eyes closed, and tries to control his breathing. 

Int. Night. Bathroom 

Angus blearily opens his eyes. The lights won’t turn on. He gathers his courage for a moment then wrenches the door open.  

Int. Night. Hallway 

The hallway is a pool of black towards either end. The song whispers from the darkness. He slowly searches through the house for Heather.  

Int. Night. Heathers Room 

Heather’s blood stains the wall where she’s bashed her head.  

Int. Night. Kitchen 

He checks the kitchen, nothing.  

Int Night Living Room 

The living room is lit blue by his projector light and a high-pitched humming emits from his amp, which he switches off.  

Int. Night. Hall 

On coming back into sight of his room, he stops in his tracks. Can he see the faint outline of the Banshee? She seems to turn to face him. He looks closer. He takes a step forward when out of the darkness Heather emerges. She moves down the corridor towards him, limbs moving in an impossible disjointed way. He runs to the living room. 

Int. Night. Living Room 

Angus slams the living room door shut, just in time as Heather instantly smashes off it. He holds the handle tight closed, hands shaking, but nothing happens. Unaware that the basement door is gaping open behind him he begins to relax. He takes a cautious step back. Then another and falls. 

Int. Night. Basement 

Angus groans in a square of blue light from above. He rolls over to his side, on his hands and knees, then up to his feet. Calm footsteps pass above him then the light switches off, plunging him into total darkness.  

Angus searches his pockets then fumbles with his phone to turn the torch on. He shines the light to around to try and get his bearings. Strange bric a brac shine out in the light for a second then disappears into the dark.  

From his side something falls off the table and rolls to his feet. A mannequin head.  He looks at it perplexed.  

A loud bang blasts from the wall behind him and some more objects topple from their places. Then to the left another one. Then a bang further to the left and higher on the wall. The banging is moving round the wall towards him.  

He finally gets moving and finds a chair which can be used. He sets it, wobbly, under the basement hole and half pulls himself up. The chair gets knocked over beneath him.  

Int. Night. Living Room 

He slowly gets further up. His feet dangle in the air. His heavy breathing and the scraping of fabric mix with the threatening noises below. Then a silence fills the space. Fear passes along his face then he slips backwards slightly. Pure panic takes over his expression then he’s sharply dragged back down into the darkness.  

The whole world seems to have paused. Then the song of the Banshee is hummed from the shadows. Heather emerges with the air of an empty shell and closes the trap door. She disappears back into the shadows. 

Int. Day. Living Room 

The room is empty. Where has Heather gone? Was she ever there?
