This investigation was going smooth, or at least it was until it was you, Sam, and Colby.

“Alright guys. So now we’re-“ Colby freezes, snapping his head to look down the hall, “Did you hear that?”

You nod, “The knocking?”

“Where?” Sam asks from behind the camera, “Down there?” He points down the hall and Colby nods, “Yeah it was like two knocks.”

You all stay silent for a few seconds, hoping it happens again, but it doesn’t, so you move on.

“We are currently in the foyer, right off to the side from the front door. It has been said that other investigators, even the owners have seen a woman walking back and fourth from the door to the steps right over there.” Colby points and Sam turns the camera.

You look around, trying to stay as close to Sam as you can without being in the way.

“Isn’t she wearing a white dress too?” You ask and Sam nods, “Yeah, almost like a sleek, but old dress. People have said that it looks torn, so hopefully we can figure it out for ourselves tonight.”

“I have the REM Pod here..” Colby goes into explaining what it does and how it works while you turn, staring down the hall.

You hated that you didn’t know if your mind was playing tricks on you, or if you actually see something, but when you shine your light down the hall, there’s nothing.

“Did you see something?” Sam asks and you shrug, “Couldn’t te-“ As you turn back to look at Sam, you’re pushed towards him.

It wasn’t super hard, but it was enough to make him fumble the camera to make sure you didn’t lose your balance fully.

“You okay? What happened?” Sam asks as he hands the camera to Colby. He turns back to you, “It looked like you were pushed.”

You nod, looking around, “I swear I was. Like a..” you reach up and gently push on Sam’s shoulder, “I think it scared me more than anything.”

Sam rubs your back, taking the camera back from Colby, “Stay close, alright. If that happened, right at the start, we aren’t sure what else can happen.”

“Got it.”

Sam looks over at Colby, “So we’ll just set it right in the middle of the floor between the door and steps and-“

The pod lights up and Sam and Colby both gasp, “No fucking way that happened that quick.” Colby shakes his head, “If that was Lady Zalius, please touch that light for us again.”

You gasp, pressing your chest and forehead against Sam’s back, “Something just touched my hair.”

Sam looks over his shoulder, turning to wrap his arm around you, “You okay?”

You nod, “Yeah. Yeah I’m good.”

The light goes off again and Sam takes a deep breath, “Did you just touch y/n’s hair?”

The light goes off again and you sigh, “It’s going to be a long night.” Sam looks over at you, “We can stop if this gets to be too much for you.”

Colby nods, “Yeah, you said you wanted to do an investigation so it’s up to you on whether or not we keep going.”

You look between them, “We just got started. It too early to quit.”

You can see Sam smirk and nod, “Alright.”

You ask a few more questions and hear some of the same knocking before you move to the first master bedroom on the first floor.

“So this is master bedroom number one. Number two is upstairs on the opposite side of the house.” Sam explains as Colby holds the camera, “This is where Lady Zalius’ brother stayed, and where the deaths started happening.”

You have your back turned towards the door, which was closed after Sam followed you and Colby in, but it’s cracked open.

“Sam.” You keep your eyes on the door and you jump slightly when you feel his hand on your back, “What’s up?”

“The door.” You point and glance over at him, “You closed that fully right?”

“I’m pretty sure I did.” Sam looks at Colby, “Run it back on the camera quick.” Colby walks over and Sam pulls his phone out to record, “Okay. So..”

You all watch the playback of Sam fully closing the door, “Close it again and try to pull it open. Maybe it doesn’t latch?”

Sam walks up, his phone still recording, “Okay, so I’ll just..” he pushes the door closed and since it’s quiet, you can definitely hear the latch click.

“Try and pull it open without twisting the knob.” Colby suggests and as soon as Sam’s had touches the door knock, a loud thud on the door makes him jump back.

He about knocks you over, but you cling to him, “What the fuck was that?”

“I’m sorry, are you okay? I didn’t-“ Sam helps you stand up straight and holds onto you, “That fucking scared the shit out of me.”

“There’s no way that fucking happened. No fucking way.” Colby is shocked, “What the hell.”

“I literally didn’t do anything, I swear that wasn’t me.” Sam is shaking slightly, so you lay your hand on his arm, “Are you good?”

He laughs slightly, “That rattled me a little bit. I felt the vibration of the thump through the knob.”

“I say we bring out the spirit box?” Colby suggests and you and Sam both nod, “Yeah.” You breathe out, “Whatever was out there, wants in.”

You shiver, “Oh fuck, I just got the chills.”

“Is it cold right here. Colby.” Sam looks at him, his arms still around you, “Is it cold where you are?”

Colby shakes his head, “It’s actually kind of warm right here.” Sam pushes you towards Colby, but follows close behind you.

“Is it warm over here.” You look at Colby, “Go walk over there.”

Colby walks over and scoffs, “That’s a major fucking difference, like I wish the people who are going to be watching this could feel this. This is craaaazy, dude. What the hell.”

“Spirit box. I think it’s in.. my backpack?” Sam lets go of you, swinging his bag off his back and grabbing the object, “Alright, let’s get this-“

Sam whips around, “That picture frame just fell.”

“Colby!” You yell and he whips around, “What? What!?”

You point, “there was a shadow like right behind you.”

He looks to Sam and Sam looks from him to you, “I don’t want you-“

You scream, running to Sam and holding onto him, “Something just brushed up against my leg.” You look down, lifting your feet, “Like a dog or something? Did they have a dog?”

“They had a German shepherd, I think is what it was? I could be wrong, but whatever happened in this room, is far too complicated for us to figure out.” Colby shakes his head, “If anything, we can come back, when it’s daylight or something. I don’t know, this room gives me the heebie jeebies.”

“He’s right.” Sam agrees, “Let’s try the other master, the one Lady Zalius occupied.”

As you make your way out of the room, equipment and all, you feel like someone walks past you, “did anyone else feel that?”

“That gust of wind?” Colby asks and you nod, “Yeah like someone walked by?”

“I didn’t but I did hear like a whisper, I don’t know if anything picked that up or not, but it was like, I don’t know, I can’t even make it out to be honest.” Sam takes a deep breath, turning to close the door, “Please don’t bang on it. Please don’t bang on it.”

He quickly pulls the door closed and steps back. It’s quiet for a few seconds then Sam sighs, “Let’s get the fuck out of here.”

He takes the camera from Colby and follows him. As Sam talks to Colby, his hand naturally finds yours, interlocking his fingers with yours and squeezes.

You squeeze back, smiling to yourself. You have a huge crush on Sam, hence why you really only run to him when you get scared.

“Alright.” Colby turns as you start walking up the steps, “These stairs should be safe, the owners said that, for some reason, these stairs are like a-“ he puts air quotes, “-safe space.”

“Like home base in tags?” Sam jokes and Colby laughs, “Yeah, exactly.”

You must have let your guard down a little too much, because right as you were about to step up onto the second floor, you’re pushed backwards, almost like you lost your balance.

Sam ends up dropping the camera on the floor to catch you, yelling for Colby at the same time, “Whoa, whoa, Colby! Colby!”

Colby gets the camera out from under Sam’s foot and moves around behind you, making sure you both make up your the steps.

“What the fuck?” Colby questions and you look at Colby, “is the camera okay?”

“Don’t worry about that.” They both say in unison. Sam cups your cheek, “Are you okay?”

You nod, “It was almost like someone was pulling me from behind and I couldn’t step up the last step.”

Next thing you know, Colby is getting pushed into you and Sam, and Sam pushes you both away from the steps, “Whatever is in here, wants us to go down the steps the hard way.”

You sigh, “Let’s go find out what Lady Zalius has to say.” You motion towards the bedroom, “My vote is Colby closes this door.”

“I’m with y/n on this one.” Sam laughs slightly, “Whatever is here must not like visitors after a certain time.”

You make your way into the bedroom and Sam takes the camera, setting it down on the dresser to point towards the door. He walks back over, and motions to Colby, “All you brotha.”

Colby sighs, laughing nervously as he tilts his head back, “Jesus fuck, alright. I’m just..” he groans, “I’m just gonna do it.”

Colby closes the door and you brace yourself to jump into Sam’s arms, but to all of your surprise, nothing happens.

“It must either be that room, or they don’t like you.” Colby looks at Sam and Sam hangs his head, “Well.. I guess that’s what we’re here to find out, right?”

Sam looks at the camera and makes a scared, over dramatized face and you laugh, “So the spirit box?”

“Yes.” Sam claps his hands together and you reach out and grab him, “Wait. Do that again.”

“Clap my hands together?” Sam questions and you nod, looking from him to Colby, “Listen.”

Sam claps his hands together and it’s almost like there’s an echo.

“Is something mocking me?” Sam asks, “What the fu-“ he does it again and lo and behold, the sound happens again, “What the fuuuuck.”

“You try it.” Sam motions to Colby and Colby claps his hands once.

Nothing.

You clap your hands together.

Nothing.

Sam does it again, and of course, the sound follows.

“That’s fucking insane.” Sam’s jaw drops, “What the hell.”

Colby gets the spirit box going. Static noise fills the room and before you even open your mouth to ask a question, “…Hello…”

You all look at each other in shock. Colby shakes his head, whispering, “Should we just let it go or do we ask questions?”

Sam shrugs, “I don’t.. maybe we can wait and se-“

“…Evil.. Man…”

“Who’s evil?” Sam asks, “Are we speaking to Lady Z-“

“…Zalius… It’s me…”

“Lady Zalius. Was that you downstairs in the foyer who touched my friend’s hair?” Colby asks, staring at the box as he waits for an answer.

“…soft ha…”

“Soft hair?” Sam reaches up, nodding, “I mean, she’s not wrong.” You smile slightly and look back at the spirit box, “Is there an evil spirit here, Lady Zalius?”

“… was once… my family…”

“Her brother.” Colby snaps, “Her brother was the one who murdered people here.”

“Right, right, yes.” Sam nods, “Can you tell us who was mocking my claps?”

The static noise continues to plays, but no response.

“Were there kids here?” You ask, and you gasp as you feel a hand on your shoulder, “Fuck. Did you just touch me?” You look at Sam and he shakes his head, “No.”

“Are you trying to keep us safe?” You ask, trying to keep yourself from shaking anymore than you already were, “If so, we really appreciate it.”

“…try..ing.. my best…”

“Should we stay out of the master on the first floor?” Colby asks and almost instantly, “…not.. safe..”

You all gasp, your hand coming up to cover your mouth, “Oh my god.”

“So that wasn’t a good spirit who hit the door, or whatever it did. It was hard, too.” Sam sighs, resting his hands on top of his head, “Is there anything you would like to tell us, or even warn us about?”

“…go… out…”

“Are you telling us to leave?” Colby asks for possibly clarification and you feel the color leave your face as she responds, “…now.. now.. go...”

“Alright.” Colby presses his lips together, “I don’t know if she means out of this room, or the house in general, but I don’t think we should stick around and find out.”

“There’s one last place I want to try, at least with the REM Pod.” Sam looks from you to Colby, “The back patio area.”

“Isn’t that where all of the bodies are buried?” Colby asks and Sam nods, “Yep. All sixteen.”

You get a chill down your spine and you suddenly feel dizzy, “Yeah, I think going.. outside is a good idea.”

“You feeling okay?” Colby asks and you reach for Sam, “I just got really dizzy. I thought I was going to pass out.”

Sam holds onto your wrist, not letting go until you look at him, “It’s gone now, but that so quick and weird.” He nods and lets go, “Let’s get you out of here.”

You pack up and open the door, making your way to the steps. You hold onto Sam and the railing as you walk down.

Nothing happens, thankfully, “So much for these steps being a safe ground.” You mumble as you glare at Colby. He shrugs, scratching the back of his neck, “Sorry?”

You laugh, “It’s fine. I’m fine.” You take a deep breath, “Let’s just get outside before anything el-“

“Shh.” Sam holds up his finger, “Do you hear that?”

You and Colby shake your heads and go back to listening. Both of you widen your eyes and look at Sam and the camera. Colby leans in, whispering into it, “There’s heavy, I mean heavy footsteps coming from upstairs.”

“They stopped.” You whisper, your eyes move to look at Sam, “No wait.. there they are again.”

“What the fuck is that?” Sam whispers, “They are heavy. Almost like stomping, you know?”

They stop and that’s when you guys finally make your way to the door. You walk out after Sam and Colby closes the door.

“This way.” Sam nods and you and Colby follow. Every sound that isn’t made by you or one of the guys, makes you jump.

You were clinging to Sam’s shirt, holding onto it like a leash as he led you around the house.

“Okay. If I’m correct..” Colby starts, “Didn’t they say that they buried them off to the right of the back of the house, so if we’re looking at it this way..” he points to the right, “They’re right over there.”

Sam nods, glancing at you, “Still doing okay?”

You nod, “Yeah, I think?” You laugh, “I’m not too sure.”

He nods, “Well go after this.”

“Thank god.” You joke, “I was starting to think we’d never leave.”

He laughs and looks to Colby, “I think if we set down the REM pod right there..” he points, “..We can probably get some good light action, you know?”

Colby nods, setting the pod down where Sam told him to, and as soon as he backs away, the light goes on and off repeatedly.

“Whoa. Whoa. Okay.” Colby walks back over to you and Sam, “That’s frickin insane. I just set it down and it’s doing that?”

“There’s a lot of spirits out here, so I mean.. maybe if we.. fuck. I don’t know.” Sam sighs, “There’s so much here. A lot of darkness and resentment is what I picked up at least.”

“Her brother caused a lot of pain and torture for no reason.” You shake your head, “This place is enough to scare anyone off, really.”

Right as the last word leaves your lips, the light turns off and there’s a bang on the window of the house behind you.

You jump over to Sam, your arms going around each other and he sighs, “Alright. Time to go. Pack it up.”

“A little scared are we?” Colby jokes and right as he bends down to pick up the pod, the light goes off and causes Colby to scream.

“A little scared are we?” Sam mocks Colby and they both laugh at each other. You make your way back to the car and as you give the house one last look, you swear you seen, who they describe as lady Zalius, in the window of her bedroom.

“She’s up there.” You point, “She’s watching us leave. I swear to god.”

“In the bedroom?” Sam asks and right as he asks that, a light, almost like one of those fake candles that people put in their windows, light up.

“Did you see that?” Colby asks in a loud whisper, “We’re definitely coming back to this place.”

Colby walks to the back of the car while you stand at the front with Sam, “I’m sorry for being so clingy towards you tonight.”

Sam smiles, “I’m sorry for almost making you eat the floor when I got scared.”

You laugh, “It’s okay. I’m sure I did that to you a few times.”

“Are you coming with us on another investigation?” Sam asks as he walks around the car and tosses his backpack into the back seat, “Because if so, you can cling to me all you want.”

You walk up to him, tossing your bag onto the floor of the back seat, “As much as wanting to do more of these scare me, I’m glad you say that because you are infact my safe space and th-“

“Will you two just kiss already?” Colby says as he rests his arms on top of the car, “You could cut the tension with a knife.”

“Will you just sh-“

Sam cuts you off with a kiss and leans back with a smile, “There. Happy now?”

“Yes.” You and Colby both answer, which makes everyone laugh.

Colby taps the top of the car with his hand, “Great. Now get in the car.”
