Weird dream.

[ Computer Beeps ]

[ Girl ] Dear Katie, how's camp?
How are the horses?

I wish I was there with you,
but, you know, my stupid allergy.

It's probably not
that much fun without me.

Just kidding.

Well, I guess it has
to be more interesting

than hanging around Greenwood Falls.

Well, it's hot out.

And there's not supposed
to be much water,

but my dad keeps on
watering the lawn anyway.

Well, I guess that's the most exciting
thing happening around here.

I feel like I'm stuck in
the summer of the living dead.

[ Voice ]
Hannah.

Sometimes I think I'm going
a little crazy around here.

Anyway, have you met
any cute boys yet?

Hannah.

Hannah.

Mom!

Mom!

Hello?
Where is everybody?

"Hannah, at baseball tonight.
Mom and Dad."

[ Sighs ]
Great.

Oh, no.

- [ Gasps ]
- [ Phone Ringing ]


please?

Oh, hi. You gotta send
somebody over here, right away.

There's something out there.
I don't know what it is.

But it's sneaking around
outside the house next door.

You gotta send somebody
over here right away.

Like the police or something.

OK?
The address is 52 Cordina Way.

It's the old Dawson House,
you can't miss it, it's huge.

Are you gonna send somebody?

Hello? Hello? This is 911,
do you have an emergency?

Hello? Hello? 911,
do you have an emergency?

Yes, I have an emergency,
I just told you. Aren't you listening to me?

Hello? Hello?
Is anyone on the line. Hello?

There's something wrong
with the phone.

Can you hear me?
Can you hear me?

[ Dial Tone ]

No.

[ Screams ]

Open up! Hurry up!

[ Panting ]

[ Voice ]
Hannah.

Hannah.

Hannah.

Hannah.

[ Gasps ]
No.

- Hannah.
- No.

[ Panting ]

[ Gasps ]

[ Screaming ]

[ Screaming ]

You know, where I come from,
we usually just say hello.

Sorry, sorry.
Um, do you live around here?

- Yeah, just down the street.
- Good, we gotta use your phone.

I just saw this thing, hanging around
outside the Dawson House.

It threw a rock
through my window.

What kind of thing?
Like a funny thing, or a scary thing?

Do I look like I'm laughing?

Come on,
let's go to your house.

- OK, but we don't have a phone.
- Are you kidding?

It hasn't been hooked up yet,
we just moved in.

Besides, no one's gonna believe
you just saw something.

You're gonna need proof.

- Where are you going?
- I wanna see what you're talking about.

- Why?
- I like scary things.

[ Sighs ]

- It was right out here.
- I don't see anything.

I'll have a look around back.

[ Dog Barking ]

[ Boy Whimpering ]
Help, help me! Help!

Hello? Where are you?

- [ Screams ]
- [ Laughing ]

You dweeb.
I can't believe you just did that.

I'm sorry, I couldn't help it.

See, the shadow from
that old kite was the thing.

Not really that scary, huh?

Yeah, so who threw the rock
through my window?

I don't know.

Maybe we call the police,
we can charge the kite with trespassing.

What do you mean?

It's on my property.
I live here.

No way.

Nobody's lived
in that old place for years.

- Somebody does now.
- That's impossible.

I live over at 49, I know everything
that happens in this neighborhood.

I would have seen you moving in.

Guess we caught you
when you weren't lookin'.

- Where'd it go?
- Special delivery.

Very cool, Mr...

- Anderson.
- Danny.

Hannah,
welcome to the neighborhood.

[ Door Creaking ]

I gotta go, see you later.

OK, see you later.

Wait a sec,

- [ Door Closing ]
- how'd you do that?

[ Sighs ]

[ Sighs ]

Great, I'm gonna get blamed for this.

[ Sighs ]

[ Voice ]
Hannah.

- [ Birds Chirping ]
- [ Piano Playing ]

[ Hannah ] Dear Katie, so finally
something happened around here.

A new guy moved into
the old Dawson House.

He's cute, kinda weird.

I mean, he says he lives there,
but the place still looks empty.

Anyway, when you
get back from camp,

maybe you can meet him
and tell me what you think.

- [ Car Honking ]
- Mail man.

Mr. Chesney.

[ Humming ]

[ Hannah ]
Mr. Chesney! Wait!

Mr. Chesney, I got a letter!

[ Sighing ]
Thanks.

Thanks a lot.

[ Children Playing ]

- [ Boy ] Hey, move it, Freddie!
- [ Whistling ]

- [ Mr. Chesney ] Ooh, kids.
- No.

Danny! Look out!

Ooh!

[ Tires Screeching ]

[ Groaning ]

- Are you all right?
- Yeah, yeah.

I guess I should have
looked where I was goin'.

Yeah, or maybe Chesney
should slow down.

Hey, what's wrong?
You can't see over the handle bars?

- Yeah, nice landing, squirt.
- [ Both Laughing ]

Nice friends,
they almost got you k*lled.

I'm the new kid in town,
I gotta show 'em I'm not chicken.

Hey, come on, let's go.

See ya around.

[ Hannah ]
That's weird.

Huh?

Hey, guys, wait up!

[ Hannah ] Dear Kate, so this guy,
the one who just moved in,

there's definitely
something weird about him.

What I really wanna do
is go check out his house.

You know,
spy on him or something.

But that would be wrong,

wouldn't it? Wouldn't it?

- What are you doing here?
- Oh, uh, hi.

Uh, I just want
to make sure you're OK.

You know, from the bike crash.

Yeah, I--
I'm OK. Thanks.

So, could I check out your house?

- I bet you really fixed it up.
- No.

I mean, not right now.
It's, uh, kinda a mess, you know.

Hey, come on.

I wanna show you something.

Danny?

Danny, where are you?

[ Voice ]
Hannah.

[ Sighs ]

Ha, OK, joke's over,
come on out.

Hannah.

Danny?

Danny?

Danny?

[ Screams ]

[ Sighs ]

OK, where are you?

Hannah.

Aren't we a little old
for hide and go seek?

Hannah.

OK, that's enough.

I'm getting outta here, you can
stay in the dark for all I care.

- [ Chair Creaking ]
- Hannah.

OK, I hear you now.

[ Creaking Continues ]

Danny?

Hannah.

Hannah.
[ Laughing ]

[ Laughing Continues ]

- [ Screaming ]
- [ Laughing ]

- [ Screaming ]
- [ Laughing ]

- Hannah.
- [ Gasping ]

Hannah.

Hannah.

[ Groans ]
Help!

- You'll never get away from me.
- Help!

[ Gasping ]

- [ Laughing ]
- Help!

- [ Screams ]
- Where did you go?

You! You're not real.
You're a ghost.

Hannah, what are you talking about?
What's wrong?

Mom, Dad.

Where is everybody?

I'm starting to feel like an orphan.

OK, OK, um...

S-stay calm, think.
There's no such thing as ghosts, right?

Right.

So, it must have been
my imagination, right?

Wrong. I don't have
that much imagination.

[ Sighs ]

I need to know
what's going on in that house.

I need information.

[ Computer Beeps ]

[ Computer Beeps ]

"House fire on Cordina claims family."

"Fire fighters battled
a 3 alarm house fire

"on Cordina Way last night.

"But even with the heroic efforts,

"there were no survivors
of the blaze.

"The family's names
have been withheld

pending notification of next of kin."

[ Boy ]
What's keepin' this guy?

Come on, let's go.

I don't feel like waiting
around for him all day.

Yeah.

What's with him anyway,
you know?

Sometimes it's like he just disappears.

[ Birds Chirping ]

[ Bird Squawking ]

[ Wind Howling ]

[ Door Creaking ]

Hello?

Is there anybody there?

Hello?

Is somebody here?

[ Gasps ]

[ Sighs ]

Is anybody home?

[ Utensils Clanking ]

Hello?

Oh, uh, hi,

sorry to come in here like this,

but the front door was open,
and, um...

So I guess you're Danny's mom.

I'm Hannah, your neighbor.
He must have told you about me.

Or not? Mrs. Anderson?

Hello?

Wait a second.

You're not listening to me
because you're not really here.

- You're a ghost too.
- What are you doing here?

[ Gasps ]
Don't act like you don't know, OK?

I figured it out.

I know all about you and your mother.
You're ghosts.

What? You wanna tell me
what the heck you're talking about?

Stop acting innocent, OK?

I saw you in your basement.

And what's with all
these candles, huh?

Your mother sets the table

even though that oven
hasn't been used in years.

And why does she act
like we're not even here?

You don't live in this house.
You're haunting it.

- Well, you found us out.
- I sure did.

Yeah, you figured out that our electricity
hasn't been turned on yet,

so we can't use the stove
and that's also why we need candles.

And my mother hasn't been listening
to a word we've said

- because she's deaf.
- She's what?

Deaf, you know,
as in she can't hear.

I'm glad she can't.

Because it would have
really hurt her feelings,

you coming here and acting
all weird like this.

Danny, I'm-- I'm so sorry,
I don't know what to say.

Nothing's wrong, Mom.
I'll be right back.

Hannah, wait.

[ Sighs ]
You must think I'm a complete loser.

Well, not a complete one.

- I'm sorry.
- I'm sorry.

- You go first.
- You go first.

You first.

OK, I--
I was just gonna say I'm sorry.

I should have told you about my mom
and why I don't let people in the house.

I-- I just took you to the basement
'cause... I don't know.

I know it sounds dumb,
but I guess I'm embarrassed.

Don't be, I think it's cool.

I wanna learn sign language now
so I can talk to your mom.

- Maybe I could teach you.
- I'd like that.

OK, it's your turn.
What were you gonna say?

Well, I just wanted to say that
I'm sorry I thought you were a ghost.

It's just I got this story
off the Internet about our street,

and about this big house fire.

And I just kinda thought
you were dead.

That's OK.
Actually it's kinda cool.

No one's ever thought
I was a ghost before.

Yeah, well, it won't happen again.
I promise.

It's been a weird summer,
you know.

I promise I'll start acting
like a normal person.

Is that a promise?

Promise.
I'll see you tomorrow.

- [ Screams ]
- Pizza.

[ Hannah ]
Excuse me.

Yeah, normal.

Dear Kate, today, I made
a complete idiot of myself.

Hannah, hold on.

Let me guess, you've decided
my apology isn't enough,

and you never wanna
speak to me again.

No, look at this.

You said you lived at 49, right?

- Right.
- B-but you can't live there.

Why not?

Because 49 Cordina Way
b*rned down 3 years ago.

That's impossible,
my house is right here.

No.

[ Gasps ]

Hannah, don't. It's not safe.

You're right,
there is a ghost around here.

It's you.
