[Projector]
[Footsteps]
[James] Yep, red light on.
Okay.
[Anthony] Is it recording?
[James] Yeah...looks good
[Anthony] Okay... brilliant.
[Rising drone]
[James struggles and cries out]
[Anthony] Say hi!
Hello!
[Anthony laughs]
I'm back.
Yeah, just about moved in.
[Anthony] He's got a lot
of stuff but I think it'll fit.
Yeah, this is the last box
from the old place now.
[Anthony] Just put it in the front room?
Yeah, yeah
Alright, that's it.
Oh, follow me.
I just want to introduce
you, if you don't mind.
[Anthony] Oh no...
Mum, Dad, this is Anthony, my new landlord.
Hi! And friend too.
[James] Oh yeah, of course.
So Mom, Dad, Anthony's the
man I was telling you about.
We flew back together from Australia.
And I was stuck with him on the flight...
snoring and dribbling over
my shoulder the whole time!
We've been best mates ever
since, haven't we? [Door knock]
[Anthony] Are you getting it?
[Sighing]
[Claire] Hello!
[James] Hi Claire, you alright?
[Claire] Hi James, lovely to see you.
Oh, nice to see you!
[James] Come on in.
[Claire] Thank you
Hello!
Hi, nice to meet you.
Claire, and you must be Anthony?
Yeah, yeah, absolutely.
Come in.
Thank you.
[Claire] Oh, it looks lovely.
What do you folks think, James?
Not much, I haven't
shown them anything yet.
[Claire] It looks like
you've been here for ages...
Very homely.
Well, I haven't been here too long...
about five months or so.
It's just me and the cat...
and James was being
booted out of his old house...
[James] Oh yeah, slum landlord.
Yeah, so I thought, well, why
not rent out the spare room?
It's much nicer to have
somebody you know in.
Absolutely, and lodger
can always be a bit of a risk.
[James] Cheers! Fancy a cuppa?
Yes, please.
What's with the camera, James?
Are you making a new documentary?
Yeah, I just thought I'd send
something out to Mom and Dad
Of course, how are they?
Yeah, they're doing really good...
Loving Canada at the moment...
Oh wow, so brave of them.
You must miss them though.
[James] Yeah, I do a little bit but...
they've been wanting to
go out there for so long.
It's about time for them really...
Plus if I'm going to go
over, free holiday innit!
So you're filming for them?
Yeah, just a little documentary,
show them the new house
and just what I'm getting up to.
Oh, before I forget, I've
got your birthday present.
[Anthony] Oh, wow.
[Anthony] Let me take that.
You shouldn't have, you've
already got me so much already.
Well, I know you wanted
it before your holiday.
Wait, is it what I think it is?
Oh it's amazing!
[Anthony] Is that a brand new camera?
Yeah... yeah!
Thank you so much Claire!
Pleasure, I hope it's the right one.
It's all set up and ready to go,
you just need to press the button.
Oh yeah, it's just like my old one... yeah.
Amazing!
I can take it to Barcelona, you remembered!
Ooh ey-up I can see you both!
[Claire] Hello!
Right, well let's give you
that tour of the house then.
You can try out the new camera.
Yeah, absolutely yeah.
Lovely!
Okay, I'll lead the way, this way.
Oh yeah, quite steep aren't they?
[Anthony] So this is the bathroom...
The toilet, you don't need
to see a toilet seat do you?
[Claire] It's a nice new bathroom.
[Anthony] This is my room.
These... are an absolute death-trap!
[Anthony] It was done
not long ago actually.
It used to be the entertainment room...
but is now very much James's
bedroom with a sofa bed.
Oh, it's lovely.
So spacious.
[Anthony] Oh yeah.
And how big is that TV?
[James] Oh, massive yeah...
Great for films.
Bride of Satan, The Devil's Men [Laughter]
Demonic Tapes and The Devil
Slides Out. Sounds charming!
[Anthony] They are all classic horror
movies, I take it you don't like them?
No, I hate horror movies.
Me too.
Well, I'll make sure that I don't
watch them when you're around.
[James] Yeah.
You'll be really happy here.
[James] Yeah, it'd be nice
to settle down for a bit.
[Anthony's phone vibrates] Oh, sorry... err
I'm just going to have to take that...
I'll take it downstairs.
I won't be a second.
See you in a bit.
He seems really nice.
Yeah, he's a good guy.
Look, if things don't
work out for any reason,
you know you're always
welcome to stay at mine.
Anthony's sound...
I'll be alright.
Well, you really get to know
someone when you live together.
That's true.
Right, shall we get your stuff?
Yeah, sure.
Yeah, no worries.
I'll just grab this as well.
If you're only up the road,
me and Anthony we're going
to go up the high street...
so we can walk you up.
[Claire] That'd be lovely, thank you, yes
[A voice is heard]
[Blogger] She's still in the area,
which means that there
is an opportunity here.
I can find her, I can track her down.
I am so utterly convinced, I know
in my bones that she is involved.
That she...
I think she m*rder*d him.
I know that's a big thing to say.
[James] Are you ready?
Errr, yeah, sorry.
[James] What are you watching?
Oh, nothing [Laughs]
Yeah, let's go.
[Anthony] This is Mansfield Street
and just around the
corner is the high street.
[Claire] You've got everything you need.
[Anthony] Oh, we're really lucky.
Good bus routes as well
all the way into town.
Some really nice places to drink.
Shall we get a pint?
[Anthony] Errr, yeah,
alright then. [James] Yeah...
Claire, can we tempt you?
No thanks, I've got to get back.
I'll leave you two day drinkers in peace.
Well, I'm only having one.
Eh, don't look at me.
Well, it was lovely to see you Claire.
Oh, lovely James.
And take care of yourself
and give my love to your
folks when you speak to them.
Will do, yeah.
We need to do dinner soon as well.
Lovely.
See you soon.
Nice to meet you Anthony.
Take care.
New local.
Yeah, new local.
Right, come on then.
It's really nice here.
The staff are really friendly
and it's under new management.
[James] Ooh, okay.
[James mutters]
Hi! [Barman] How are we doing guys ok?
Right, what are you having?
I dunno, I think I was gonna get a pint.
What about yourself?
I dunno, I like the sound of that though.
Mansfield Street Martini,
why don't we have one
of those, treat ourselves.
Yeah, right, scrub the pint, I'm
gonna get one of those as well.
Okay, two Mansfield Street Martinis please.
Cheers mate.
Thank you.
This is on me.
Oh very kind of you!
[Barman] When you're ready...
Yep.
Okay, looks like we've got time off.
Ooh, nice one.
Thank you. [Barman] Thanks very much guys.
Thanks very much mate, ta
Right, cheers. [Anthony] Cheers.
Oh that is...
Oh that's nice!
Very nice!
All right, cheers!
Cheers again!
Hmmn very nice that.
Have you met the neighbours?
Err, what?
Next door to us?
Yeah.
No no no, the house is empty.
Oh.
Anyway, fancy another one?
I am good, I think two is
more than enough for me.
Err, James?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, last one now.
Yeah, it's the middle of the afternoon.
It's my day off.
Oh, okay.
They're pretty strong aren't they?
Yeah, they're very strong.
Oh my days.
Down it.
Down it?
Yeah, go on, down it.
Oh, oh God.
Oh, rather you than me.
Come on, get your coat.
I'm wounded, you have to carry me!
Oh, James.
Oh, you have to carry me!
I should have had a beer.
I hope you're not recording this.
[Anthony] No, of course not...
Well, maybe! [Laughs]
[Vomits]
[Anthony] Right, okay, look,
I'll just get you a glass of water.
Are you okay?
Try that, see if you can keep that down.
Oh... Oh dear.
[James groans]
[Groaning, drinks water]
[Toilet flushes]
[Yawning]
So, erm...
Can't sleep.
Must be just the first
night in the new house.
[Snoring]
Is that...
is that snoring?
Is that Ant...
I wonder if you can hear it on the camera?
[James] Oh my god Anthony!
[Loud snoring]
That is so loud!
Are you kidding?
Anthony!
[Snoring]
[James] Anthony! Oh my God [Laughs]
That is so loud!
Oh my God...
[Snoring]
Bloody Hell!
It's like having a hurricane sleeping here!
Right, where was I?
[Thumping next door]
[Man shouts] Who the f*ck
are you to tell me what to do?
[Woman] Get out!
[Woman] Get out, get out you piece of shit!
Get the f*ck out of this house!
[Man] You can go and f*ck yourself...
[Woman screams] I don't
want you anywhere near me!
Oh my god!
[Man] Well I'm not finished talking!
[Woman] Get out, do you hear me get out!
[James] Jesus Christ...!
[Man] You said you loved me, you're a liar!
You're a f*cking liar! [James]
It's coming from here...
[Woman] Stop following
me, f*ck off! Leave me alone...
That is ridiculous...
[Woman screams] I don't want to
look at you, you're f*cking disgust me
[Man] Go get out, you piece of shit!
[Woman] Go away!
Right, that is mental
Great, I've got neighbours
from hell as well now.
She's okay.
[Low chanting]
A proper bad fight
Bloody hell.
Right...
Its gone quiet now...
That was mental.
Like I've heard of couples
having fights and stuff but Jesus.
Proper mental.
If it's going to be like that every night,
I'm going to have to go
on and say something.
Jesus.
I'm gonna turn this off.
So, yeah.
[Takes deep breath] Nevermind
Nobody needs to see this.
[James] Hey I'm keeping it.
You know for blackmail
in case the rent goes up
or that footage of me
vomiting comes to the internet.
Please delete it.
[James] Fine.
So you say that you heard
something or somebody last night?
Yeah, yeah it was like this really
nasty argument from next door.
I swear I could hear a couple.
I'm sure the house is empty.
I thought that but it
did sound like a couple
having a really bad argument.
Did you sleep right through it?
Well yeah but I sleep really deeply.
[James] Yeah...
[James] So, Mum, Dad, this is the garden...
A bit of a raised area there.
Some random vine plants around here.
Now, I don't know if you'll
know this, Dad, but what is that?
Oh!
There he is, there's Anthony. Hello!
And, er...[Door knocks]
Ooh!
I'll get it!
[Anthony] Thanks.
Anthony!
This is Laura from next door.
Laura, this is Anthony.
Hi!
Hi!
Lovely to meet you.
I don't think we've met yet.
No.
Although I'm quite new here myself, so...
Must be it.
So, are you guys together?
No, no, no.
I'm Anthony's lodger.
I've just moved in.
Oh, nice, nice.
So, are you from next door?
Oh, not next door, I'm number 52.
Oh, over that way?
Yeah.
Oh, okay. We were just talking
about that before, weren't we?
Do you know who's on that side?
On that...
Err... no.
There used to be a lovely
guy that lived there like...
seven, eight months ago,
but I'm pretty sure he moved out.
[James] Okay...
I thought it was empty.
Probably some new tenants or something.
Yeah, maybe. I did hear...
It sounded like a couple last night.
Really bad argument or something.
Oh, I don't even know who the landlord is.
Probably some local letting agency.
Yeah, yeah. I'll have to do
some investigation, I think.
You could just pop over.
I'm sure they'll be fine.
Could get it sorted.
I don't know. I mean, it
was a really nasty argument.
I don't know if I want to meet them.
Oh, tricky.
Yeah.
Can I get you a drink, a
cup of tea or something?
Oh, no, I'm fine, thank you.
I should probably get back.
I've got loads of work to do.
Oh, do you work from home?
Yeah, I've been freelance for years.
Oh, okay.
James is freelance.
Oh, what do you do?
So, I do graphic design.
You know, doing designing logos and
helping companies get
products out, stuff like that.
Wow, I could use your expertise...
I'm trying to get a new
business off the ground.
Oh, okay.
I've got a bit of a backlog at the moment,
but send it over and have a look.
There's no rush.
Anthony, what do you do?
First aid trainer.
I love it and I get to travel
loads, so it's really good.
Well, I know who to come
to in an emergency then.
Anyway, I'd better go.
Oh, I forgot even why I came round...
I've got some of your mail.
Oh, thank you I've been expecting those.
Yeah.
Well, that's really kind of you.
Thank you.
And really lovely to meet you.
Yeah, lovely to meet
you... I'll let myself out.
Oh, we should definitely
do dinner sometime as well.
That would be great.
You should pop round, yeah.
That would be lovely.
Anyway, I'll let you out.
[James] See you later.
So, inviting her around
for dinner already are we?
Yeah, she seems pretty nice.
She seemed really into you.
Do you reckon?
Yeah.
Oh, um, oh shit is the camera still on?
Oh my god.
It's still rec... Do you think she noticed?
Yeah, I think she noticed.
She looked at something when she went out.
Oh my god, she probably
thinks we're right weirdos.
[Anthony] Speak for yourself.
Oh my god! [Both laugh]
Right, so...
this is our lovely cellar...
Yeah, so what I was thinking is,
if we clear out a lot of this crap here,
we could probably make
a good space for a gym.
But, it'll be a nice little project.
We just need to get some work to it.
Oh shit!
Anthony? Is that...
[Sighs]
Anthony, that better not be you!
Oh my god, I could have
sworn I was seeing...
[Anthony] Are you alright?
[James gasps] Oh shit! Anthony!
Oh my god!
[Gasping] You scared the
shit out of me! [laughs]
Are you alright?
Yeah, sorry.
Yeah, I'm just showing
the parents the cellar.
Your parents want to
see a grotty old cellar?
[James laughs] Yeah, I'm going to...
I'm going to turn it into a gym.
A gym?
[James] Yeah, yeah.
Right.
Erm, haven't you got a meeting in a minute?
Oh shit, yeah. thank you for reminding me.
[Ringing, incoming call]
Ah, James.
Hey, how are we all doing?
It's good to see you again, James.
So, just to jump right into things,
we really love the new design,
particularly the secondary logos.
Oh, thank you very much.
That's great.
We also really love the new color palette.
Yeah, it's simple, it's fresh,
with a hint of a mid-century style.
I think it's really going to
appeal to our customers.
That's great. Yeah.
So, basically, I was thinking about
just slightly redesigning the logo
and updating the officeware as well.
So, if you just bear with me
a second, I'll share my screen.
[Thumping from next door]
James, I can't actually see anything.
Try sharing again.
Sorry, yeah, just a minute.
I'm getting some background noise here.
[Muffled woman screaming]
You're f*cking stupid!
Is everything alright?
Sorry, yeah, erm...[Muffled
screaming] Stupid stupid!
Hello James?
Yeah, sorry, so erm...[Fight continues]
I might have to just send you a PDF, erm...
[Woman screaming at man] k*ll yourself!
We can give a call
back later if it's easier?
But I can't hear anything myself.
Sorry, yeah, it's just, erm...
I think it might be coming from
next door. [Woman laughing]
Just loads of loud sounds.
Erm, yeah, let me send it over
to you. Basically, it's just, erm...
Something a bit more youthful and fun
was what I'm thinking so,
I'm really sorry about this, guys.
I'll send it over in a minute.
No, it's not your fault, don't worry
Yeah, I'm really embarrassed.
Sorry about this, everyone.
Keep up the good work.
Can't wait to see the rest of your ideas.
Kathy is going to love these.
[Woman screams] Don't you dare!
[Man screaming] No, I didn't want it!
Okay, bye now.
Bye, bye everyone.
[Woman shouts]Look at her! [Laughs evilly]
What the Hell was that?
[Knocking]
[Knocking on wall]
Downstairs... Downstairs!
[A man's voice chants
in a foreign language]
[Knocking]
[James] There... there there!
[Chanting continues]
[Knocking]
[Chanting]
[Deep rumble]
[Anthony] You alright?
Shhh!
[Rumble] There! There!
Listen! Listen!
Did you hear it?
I can't hear anything.
You didn't hear anything?
Someone just knocked back.
It's like this...
I've been hearing this like
knocking all over the house.
I found it's coming from here and...
it's like this low, low voice
like a man's voice maybe
I can hear the vibrations in my chest.
Have you not been hearing anything?
I really can't hear a thing.
Must have gone.
I swear though, I was
hearing knocking round the...
Let me get this shopping in the fridge.
Alright, alright.
[Loud thud
Anthony!
Anthony get back! Get back!
It's just knocked back...
It's just knocked back...
Listen, listen...
f*ck... Come on...
I swear to God it was
just knocking back then.
Did you not hear anything?
[Sighs]
Right, I think I might have it on camera.
Anthony, I'm just going next door
[Rain]
Hello, I'm James from next door.
[Rain]
[Foreign chanting]
[James] Oh, is that somebody?
Hello? Is anyone there?
[Chanting continues]
[Loud thud]
[James gasps]
[Anthony] But did you see anybody?
No, I didn't see anything but...
I definitely heard like this, a voice.
I heard a thudding and a voice.
It's really weird because I didn't
hear anything from this side.
It scared the life out of me.
So what else did you see?
Nothing.
I put the camera
through the letterbox but...
[James] Did you not hear that?
No, I didn't hear that, James.
[James sighs]
I don't know what you're thinking.
[James] Look, there's
something in that house.
There must be somebody,
I don't know, upstairs?
They might not have
furnished the downstairs yet.
I'm not, I don't know.
Well, I don't know what I'm
supposed to think about it...
because I can't hear anything
and I can't see anything.
[James] Right. Look, if it
happens again, I'll try and get it...
You can't just go round and start
peering through people's letterboxes,
even if it is empty.
It's not your property.
[James] I don't think it's empty.
What if the neighbours saw
you looking through the letterbox?
[James] I don't know.
[James] You believe me, don't you, Nina?
Some bad stuff next
door, isn't there? Yeah.
Yeah, some bad people.
You're a good girl, aren't you?
I'm gonna get the exposure...
It's okay.
I'm okay. [A mans voice in the background]
[Blogger] Oh but Ricky how do
you explain the motion detector light
switching on on it's own...
[Blogger] It didn't switch
on on it's f*cking own
and I'm gonna prove it!
[James] What is that?
[Blogger] There's also someone else.
Filming him being stalked
by this woman, apparently,
who lived next door,
who they reckon m*rder*d him! [Laughs]
But neither of the bodies have been found!
[Laughs]
These people who made this footage
must think that we have
just fallen out the idiot tree...
[James coughs]
Oh shit, sorry.
Didn't see you there.
[James] It's alright, just
fiddling about with the Zoom.
What are you watching?
Oh, just some rubbish on Slooth.
[James] Isn't that a conspiracy site?
No, it's true crime.
[James] True crime [laughs]
[Laughing]
[Purring]
What can you see?
Eh?
[Purring]
What can you see?
[Purring]
I don't see anything Nina...
[Purring]
[Man moans] No... no!
[Woman shouting next door]
You're pathetic... pathetic!
[Man wails and the woman shouts]
[Snoring]
[Woman] You're not worthy of her!
[Muffled shouting and
screaming from next door]
[Woman screaming] f*cking pathetic!
[Man moaning in pain] No... noooo!
God, why are you still snoring?
I've been hearing... a voice
[Woman shouts] Spill your blood for her
I hear a few voices now.
I don't know what it is...
It's only everyso often now
It's not too loud but it keeps happening
[Quiet chanting starts]
Hey...
[Quiet chanting in a foreign language]
[James gasps]
[Heavy breathing] f*ck!
[Chanting gets louder]
[James gasps]
[Woman laughing next door]
So you're now filming us having breakfast?
Yeah. Erm...
You know the yellow throw?
Yes.
Someone was sat under it.
I went towards it and I
could have sworn it moved,
like there was somebody
underneath it and they were moving.
So you somebody in our lounge?
Well I...
Did you get it on film?
Yeah, yeah I got it on camera.
Right, so show me.
Right, show me what you've got.
Right, here we go.
[sighs]
Well to me it looks like
a throw piled up high
on some cushions and just
balanced precariously and then when you've
pulled at it it's fallen over
and yes I suppose it did look
like it could be somebody...
Well what else could it be?
I don't know I mean...
A ghost?
Come off it... a ghost? No.
No I'm serious, seriously.
Okay so we now have a ghost in our house.
Alright, right... no fine...[Laughs]
Fame and fortune awaits!
We have proof of a ghost in
our house courtesy of James.
Right, fine, fine, okay I
know it's mental. I know...
I'm still gonna call the
council about next door though.
It's too much.
Yep, I'd like to raise a complaint.
[Man] Certainly Sir,
what kind of complaint?
A noise complaint please.
[Man] Ok, thank you I'll put you through...
So you're filming everything now?
Yep.
You'll have enough for a documentary soon?
Look, I just think it's
good to get everything.
Especially with all the weird stuff
that's been happening recently.
It's just good to have.
So what's the council say?
I get dates, times, notes, all that stuff.
Especially if it is squatters.
Well that's doable, but what
are they going to do about it?
Nothing.
There's not much they can do.
We just need to get a clearer picture.
And obviously call the
police if it gets worse.
Look, I feel really bad about all this.
You've hardly been in that
place, well, any time at all.
And I'm not hearing any of it.
And yeah, I feel bad.
I feel responsible.
It's not your fault.
You're asleep through most of it anyway.
Oh hi!
Oh!
Hello!
What a surprise! Oh, and a camera!
Oh, sorry, sorry.
I'm just doing a bit of
filming for my Mom and Dad.
Just letting them know
what I'm getting up to.
I hope you don't mind.
No, no.
How are you settling in?
Yeah, I guess I'm doing okay.
Any news about the neighbours?
Erm, I've been in touch with the council,
but nothing much from them really.
I doubt they'll do much.
No.
There are always alternative methods.
Oh yeah?
Yeah.
Sometimes you've got
to think outside the box.
Okay, what do you mean, outside the box?
It's a bit, well, strange.
I don't think you'd be into it.
I don't understand.
It's a bit esoteric.
No, no, I like esoteric.
I used to do my friend's
tarot cards at uni.
I used to dabble a little bit myself.
Oh, no way.
Yeah, yeah.
Okay.
Anyway, I'm sure calling the
council is the right thing to do.
Yeah, I guess we'll see.
I'd better go.
I'm cat-sitting for a friend and...
I'm sure her Royal Highness
will be wondering where her dinner is!
Oh, absolutely, yeah.
Actually, I wanted to give you that.
Oh, oh, thank you.
Yeah, just in case you need me.
Okay, yeah, thank you.
I'll let you know.
See you later then.
Oh, before you go, we
still need to do dinner.
Yes, we do.
Are you free tonight, seven o'clock?
Tonight?
Yeah, yeah.
Let's do it.
Okay, yeah.
See you then.
Yeah, see you soon.
Bye.
Bye.
Bye, Laura.
She is so into you.
Do you really think so?
She gave you her number.
Yeah, but look, she's just...
Stop it. Shut up! [Laughs]
She's just really nice
We love Blossom on Mansfield Street?!
Shut up.
She's just really nice.
That's it.
She's just being nice. She's just...
Look, maybe we should get back too.
I've got loads of prep to do for tomorrow.
Okay, yeah.
I guess I need to get dinner on as well.
Yeah.
[James] Right...
[James] Oh my god! What is that?
Did you do this?
No I didn't... No!
Surprise!
[James] Oh my god!
What the f*ck is that?
Anthony!
Jesus Christ you arsehole!
You almost gave me a
heart attack you bastard!
I was just looking after it for work.
I'm taking it back next week.
I'm sorry I thought you'd find it funny.
[James] Why would I find this funny?
I don't know I just thought you would.
Like the ghost.
[James] No no no that was real.
That was really freaky.
It's not like...
It was just a fluke James.
[James] No maybe but...
Look do we have to have
this thing in the house?
This thing is Napoleon.
Can I have this dance M'lady?!
Oh Anthony you absolute bastard!
Careful down the stairs.
[Anthony] Come on Napoleon.
[Anthony] I'll take him back
to work with me next week.
[James] Oh you will will you? [Laughs]
Yeah.
James!
Yes?
[Anthony knocks]
Let me out!
[James] Oh it's not so funny is it now?
No come on let me out! [Knocks]
[James] Are we going to do this again?
[Anthony] Right okay
this is not funny come on.
[James] I'll let you out as long as
you promise never to do that again.
Oh you bastard.
[James] It's not so funny when
it's the other way around is it?
Yeah no okay funny funny.
[James] Yeah... Lessons learned!
Cheers!
Cheers! Finally got you round!
I'm so glad to have you here.
Nothing happened.
The street was so boring I've
been longing for new neighbours.
[Anthony] This is very much
happening in this house.
It's all kicking off in this house.
Oh my god yeah.
I can't hear anything now...?
[James] Well that's just my luck isn't it?
As soon as people around the noise stops.
Unless it's him snoring or
me just being left by myself.
We scared them off.
Yeah you can stay you can
come around more often.
Maybe I'll do that.
You would be too if you were
hearing what I was hearing... Mental.
Well to be quite honest it's cheers
to peace and quiet as far as I can see.
Oh yeah yeah absolutely.
Can't lie, I would have
quite liked to have heard it.
[James] You wouldn't... You wouldn't.
For your mum and dad.
Hello you've done a
stand up job with your son.
[James] That's very kind of you to say!
I'm Intrigued...
We'll be dancing on the table soon.
Or you could get those tarot cards out.
[James] No no no I
haven't done that for ages.
[Anthony] Tell me how
I got the tarot cards.
Okay.
Okay if I was to look at you.
[Anthony] I don't believe it.
If I was to look at you...[All laugh]
Don't make me laugh.
Don't make me laugh.
Right okay.
Very mysterious past here.
I'm saying that coz I don't know you.
Very mysterious past.
That's right.
Yeah.
I think he's making half of it up.
[James] Oh totally. Absolutely.
But everyone does.
[Anthony] There's more to you
than meets the eye isn't there James.
[James] Maybe a little bit.
Maybe a little bit.
[Screaming row next door, the
woman laughs and the man screams]
Right, I've just heard way
more voices than before.
It sounds like they're
coming down the stairs.
[Thumping and chanting]
Sounds like they're in...
Sounds like they're in the house.
[Thumping, chanting]
[Crashing]
Right!
They're in!
[Snoring]
[James] Anthony?
Anthony?
How are you always sleeping through this?
[Muffled crashing]
[Crashing and shouts]
[James breathing nervously]
[Woman shouts and laughs, crashing]
[Man chanting in a foreign language]
[James] Oh no, not in there.
Not in there...
[Chanting increases in volume]
[James gasps]
[Heavy breathing]
[Door creaks]
[Woman screaming and laughing]
[James] Anthony!
Wake up!
Get up!
Anthony!
The skeleton...
The skeleton's moving downstairs!
Anthony!
What?!
[James] The skeleton is moving downstairs!
What do you mean it's moving?
[James] It's f*cking moving, I saw it!
Just let me get my dressing gown.
[Anthony] How does a skeleton move?
[James] I don't know!
It started crawling up the stairs,
then it followed me into the kitchen.
Look, this better not be
another bloody wind-up.
[James] I'm not winding you up, I promise.
It was right there...
Wait, wait, wait, don't, don't!
It's right there.
It was right there, I promise.
There's nothing here!
Look!
It's fallen.
I must not have put it
away properly or something.
[James] Anthony, I promise
you, it was right there.
It was crawling towards me and
it followed me into the kitchen.
I hope it's not broken.
It's really expensive.
[James] Look, but...
Can you not see it there?
It's there.
It's not clear, James.
[James] The memory cards are new.
They can't be corrupted.
Look, stop worrying.
I'm going to take Napoleon back
to Birmingham with me tomorrow.
[James] Good.
Look, I'm not imagining this.
There's something in this house.
You look shattered.
The cellar door is locked.
[James] Okay...
Come on.
[James] Okay.
Yeah?
Yeah... yeah.
[Anthony] Come on
let's get back to bed okay?
[Anthony] It's late, come on.
[James] Alright.
[James] Hey Nina
[Miows]
[Anthony] Morning.
[James] Morning.
Did you get any sleep at all?
[James] No, not really.
The kettle's boiled.
[James] Right... cheers
Right, I'll be off in a minute.
[James] Alright, have a good day.
Say goodbye to Napoleon.
[James] Oh good riddance more like!
[James] When are you back tonight?
The day after tomorrow.
[James] What?
Two days in Birmingham, remember?
[James] Oh yeah, sorry... yeah
Look, are you gonna be okay while I'm gone?
[James] Yeah...
I don't want to come back and find
you all malnourished like Napoleon.
[James] I'll survive.
Okey-dokey.
[James] Right, have a good day.
Yeah, you too.
See you again.
[James] Alright, see you soon.
[Anthony] Bye.
[Door knock]
[James] Come on in, just boiled the kettle.
Great, coffee?
Yeah, it's instant, okay?
Yeah, black no sugar, please.
Coming right up.
[Laura] Thanks...
[Kettle boiling, low voice chants]
Thank you.
So I just wanted to ask...
About my unusual methods?
Yeah.
What is it?
Witchcraft.
Witchcraft?
It's...
Don't worry, it's nothing too heavy.
Sorry, I...
I just didn't expect you to say that.
Just think of it as a ritual.
I will give you a spell to
banish the harm being done,
and you will set the intent
to send it far away from here.
You have a gift, I can tell.
So...
I don't have to use a Ouija board do I?
No.
No. Nothing as basic as that.
Just some oil, herbs and a candle.
And an incantation.
And there has to be a waning moon,
Which is happening tonight.
Do you think you can do it?
Um, yeah.
Yeah, Anthony's away tonight.
Perfect.
Then you won't be disturbed.
No.
Yes.
There we are...
Now you're a bonafide witch!
So, Laura has graciously
left us with her witch kit.
Let's have a look.
So we've got some candles...
anointment oil, that's it,
which looks very wild.
I'm a bit nervous about tonight.
More intrigued than
nervous, because, you know,
I don't know if I really
believe in all this stuff about,
you know, doing spells...
or enchantments, stuff like that.
But I guess we'll see.
We've got to wait till
tonight to do it as well so...
so I'll give it some time.
I'll probably set up first
and then I can come down.
[Thumping next door]
[Woman shouts] You're dead already!
[Laughs, man shouts]
[Woman laughs, man moans]
[Man shouts] You are EVIL!
[Thumping]
[Man] I'll k*ll you!
[Woman] You don't have the guts!
[Man] I will, I'll k*ll
you, I'll f*cking k*ll you!
[Woman] Go on!
[James] f*ck!
[Woman screaming] Go on!
[Woman] In the name of... Lilith
[Man] I'm going to f*cking
k*ll you I f*cking swear!
[Thumping and banging]
[Woman] You can't
k*ll me you piece of shit!
They sound like... like they're
About to f*cking k*ll each other.
[Woman] Get back! Put that down
[James] Oh my God...
[Woman] I said put it down [She screams]
Shit!
[Woman laughs madly]
Right this is f*cking crazy...
[Screaming]
[James] I need to call the
police right f*cking now.
That is mental.
I saw somebody coming round next door.
I think there was only one of them.
So I'm just waiting for
them to come through and...
[Knocking]
Oh... coming
Hopefully they won't notice.
Yep, hold on a second.
Hiya.
[Policeman] Hiya, good afternoon.
Are you James Waring?
Yeah, I called you before.
Do you want to come in?
Yeah, if you don't mind.
Yeah, no worries thank you
[Doot shuts]
So, er, what's happened?
[Policeman] Nothing so far.
Nothing?
No, I've had a look through the windows.
The property's empty.
But I heard something
coming through the wall before.
There's somebody there.
Well, could be a TV or radio left on.
Perhaps someone's decorating it?
No, I mean, it did look
empty, but I don't know,
maybe they've just moved in or something.
The property's a rental.
The landlord's a Miss
Emma King. Do you know her?
No, I've never heard of her.
We're trying to get in
contact with her, but,
I mean, it could be squatters,
but it doesn't look like it.
It looks too pristine.
I do have some audio
I recorded from earlier.
I can show you.
Here.
[Distorted audio]
What?
[Policeman] I can't make
anything out I'm afraid.
Oh no, this was clear a moment ago.
What's happening?
Look, I'll tell you what. I'll
give you my contact details.
Send over any files
you've got to the station
and I'll have a listen there.
Yeah, okay...
I'll send them over.
Look, don't worry.
Just give me a call at the
station if anything happens.
Yeah, will do.
[Policeman] I'll let myself out.
Listen, and don't hesitate to call
Will do.
Okay?
Thanks...
Alright thanks a lot.
Oh, I was just about to knock.
[Policeman] Someone's at your door.
[Car starts up]
[James] Hi.
I just saw the police
car. Is everything okay?
No.
Next door it was a lot worse this time.
So you called the police?
Yeah, I don't know what to do.
I don't even know if
there's anybody next door.
The ritual. You must do the ritual tonight.
I know, I know.
Trust me. This will get it sorted.
[James] Ok, I'll do it, I will.
[Incoming call]
Oh hi James, just a quick one.
So Kathy has reviewed the revisions
and she has a couple of notes,
mainly just the color
scheme on the branding...
She's sending over her
thoughts in an email.
Are you okay?
Yeah, sorry.
I just feel really spaced
out at the moment.
I think I might have that bug that's
doing the rounds at the moment.
Oh no! Oh dear.
Right, well you rest up and
we'll catch up in a couple of days.
We love what you're doing.
It's really coming together.
Yeah, I'll have the infographics
ready for approval by tomorrow.
Oh, wonderful.
We'll be in touch.
Yeah, okay.
Okay, bye now.
See you soon, yeah.
[Sighs]
[Bedsheets]
So erm...
It's just about 1 O'Clock
Laura told me to do the...
Incantation about 01:33
So I'm just gonna head
downstairs in a minute...
and get it all set up.
I think I've got some candles and
ointment and something to read as well.
Don't really know what I'm doing so
I'm gonna need some
time to get it all set up.
And um...
[Knocking]
[James] Hello?
[Scream]
[James shouts] Jesus Christ!
Laura!
Oh my God!
How did you get in?
The door.
[James] Oh my God!
You scared the shit out of me.
You left it unlocked.
You ought to be more careful.
I could have been anyone.
[James] What's with the mask?
Just a bit of fun.
Right, why are we doing this?
[James] Oh, yeah, just go through there.
It's in the dining room.
[James exhales]
Hear us, Mistress of the night.
We gather here today to do thy banishing,
to banish the wicked souls...
that harbour ill will and hatred...
on the other side of that wall.
Now take the candle and the oil.
So I just run it from the middle outwards?
That's right.
Okay...
Now listen closely.
For the words I speak hold ancient power.
We stand here before you, O
Goddess, in the heart of the night.
Tonight we offer ourselves to thee
in exchange for thy divine guidance
and swift justice
to those who wish harm
and disturbance on this home.
From depths unknown we conjure thee.
See our light, see our flames.
It will guide you to thee.
Daughters of blood, hear us.
Hear his soul, mortal and afraid, tender.
Sacrifice a part of thyself
in the hour of her name.
She was far but now she is near.
Lilith, Lilith, Lilith,
hear us...[Wind rises]
Hear us and come to us.
Repeat after me.
Okay...
Lilith, I ask of thee,
Lilith I ask of thee...
To take thy self and soul
To take thy self and soul...
Lilith, Lilith, Lilith, hear me.
Lilith, Lilith, Lilith, hear me...
Lilith, I ask thee for thy gift.
Lilith, I ask thee for thy gift...
Lilith, Lilith, Lilith, hear me.
Lilith, Lilith, Lilith, hear me...
So mote it be.
So mote it be.
Do you let her in?
Yes.
Do you give yourself to her?
Yes.
Very good.
[Rising wind]
[Thunder]
[Ghostly Voice] Next...
[James] What?
She is listening!
[Ghostly voice] Next...
Next...
You're next...
Wait...!
Can you hear that?
Hear what?
That voice, can you hear that?
That voice!
[Ghost] m*rder...
I've...
[James] It's like someone's speaking!
James, James, we must finish the ritual.
[James] I can hear someone coming from...
They're coming from inside.
[Ghostly voice] m*rder... m*rder*r...
[James] Oh my god!
There's... look!
There's somebody huddled
at the top of the stairs!
[Laura] What are you on about?
[James] Can you not see?
[Laura] James?
James, we must...
we must finish the ritual.
m*rder*r!
[Ghostly voice] Next... You're next... next
[James] It sounds like
he's saying something.
[Laura] It's nothing.
It's witching hour...
and the veil between
the dead and the living...
is very thin.
And we must hurry and finish the ritual.
[James] Okay.
Take the pieces and put them in the pouch.
[James] Okay... So put
them in the pouch, then what?
You must take them next door.
Okay, so put them in the pouch
just put them through next door, yeah?
Yes.
[James] Okay, I'll be right back
[Thunder rumbles]
[Laura] Where... are you?
There you are!
[Thunder]
You have no right to be here.
Get back to the darkness where you belong.
[Ghost] m*rder...
m*rder*r!
m*rder [Echoes]
[Laura] I said get back to the darkness.
[Ghost] m*rder*r...
[Laura] How pathetic you are.
Soon you will be nothing.
[Laura breathes heavily]
Where are you?
[Laura breathing]
m*rder*r!
[Laura screams]
[Laura] f*ck...
f*ck's sake!
[James] Who are you talking to?
Nobody.
[James] I put it through the door.
Good... That's everything.
That was wild.
I thought I'd feel more
wired, but I'm just exhausted.
The magic we used tonight is very powerful.
I expect you'll sleep very well.
I hope so.
Took a lot of spiritual energy.
I'll, um...
I'll leave you to rest.
Laura, Laura, thank you.
It's a pleasure to help a friend.
I expect you'll sleep like the dead.
[James] Here's to wishful thinking eh?
That... was very interesting...
[Ligght switch]
I really don't know what to
make of what I just saw tonight...
[Light switch]
[Sighs]
I'm absolutely shattered as well...
[Low thunder]
I can't even think right now.
I'm gonna get changed and then...
Just look this all over in the morning,
right...
Night night.
[Sighs]
Ok, so, um...
[kissing]
I still didn't really sleep last night
I think I've got a sore throat...
I don't know if I'm coming
down with something.
I think...
I think I'm just a bit worn down, you know.
But, I think what I'm gonna do is...
[Man shouts next door] I will k*ll you...!
I will... I'll k*ll you!
I'll f*cking k*ll you!
[Woman mocks him] You're dead already!
I said... [Inaudible shouts]
[Thumping and inaudible shouting]
[Man] I will I'll f*cking k*ll you!
[Woman laughs hysterically]
[Man] I've got a knife!
[Man] Die you f*cking evil piece of shit!
[Woman screams] Go on... GO ON! [Thumping]
[Woman howls like an animal]
[James] Shit!
Shit! Shit! Shit!
Where's my phone?
Shit!
Yes, hello?
Hello?
Yes, can I get the...
Yes, can I get the police please?
[Knocking]
Hiya.
[Policeman] Can I have a word please?
Yeah, come through.
[Policeman] Cheers thank you.
[Policeman] So, you called again?
Yeah, did you see anything next door?
No.
What?
The house is empty.
What?
The house is empty?
My colleague has been in
contact with the letting agent
and it's confirmed as empty.
But I heard...
I swear I...
The last time anybody entered the
property was almost a month ago.
I've had a look next door
and I can confirm it's completely secure.
Wasting police time is
considered a serious offence.
No, no...
Consider this an informal warning, Sir.
Look, I swear I heard screaming
and shouting coming from next door.
I'm not imagining it.
Maybe you're hearing it
from the houses behind you.
No, no, it's definitely
coming from that way.
[Policeman] One thing
that was a little bit odd.
I found this.
Do you recognize it?
No.
No, no.
The only reason I'm asking, is
because it was caught in the letterbox.
Right, erm...
No, I've never seen it before.
[Policeman] Hmm. Very odd.
Look, so you've looked next
door and there's no one there?
We've been in touch with
the letting agent and landlady,
Miss Emma King.
Right, erm...
Can I get her details, please?
I'm afraid I can't
release that information.
Right... Right.
Look... Look, I'm...
I'm really sorry.
I genuinely thought I heard
something awful happening and...
I'm really not trying to waste your time...
You'd be surprised how
often we hear that, Sir.
Look, I know, I know...
I know, I'm really sorry, mate.
[Policeman] Look... It's
amazing how sound can travel.
You're probably hearing
noise from a different property.
It could be that somebody's moving in,
or moving out.
Or they've left the telly on full volume.
Right.
I'm in the area. I'll keep an ear out.
Right.
Thank you.
Okay, maybe invest in some decent earplugs.
Yeah.
Yeah, will do.
I'll, er... I'll see you out here.
Alright. Thank you, Sir.
[Door shuts]
[James] Shit...!
[How could it go mouldy overnight?
Oh my God, it stinks!
[A muffled voice]
[James] What is that?
Is Anthony home?
[A man's voice comes from upstairs]
[Inaudible blooger's
voice comes from upstairs]
Anthony, are you home?
[Blogger] Neither of the
bodies have been found!
I don't think he is...
[James] Is that coming from my room?
[Blogger] Shed light on things that
supposedly go bump in the night...
[James] Hello?
[Blogger] As always though,
hit that like and subscribe button
and if you really want to help
out, you'll hit that notification bell
because it helps me
get this money! [Laughs]
Right, this first footage we're
going to be debunking today
doesn't need any introduction.
You've seen it all over the news,
it's been blowing up,
it's been in the papers.
[James] I've seen him before.
I'm sure I've seen him.
What the f*ck is this?
It's been on every social media platform
and that's the one about this guy from
the big smoke who moved up to Nottingham
and his house was apparently haunted.
Ooooooh yeah right, a load of bollocks!
Anyway, this footage has been
getting people scared to sleep at night.
It's been making people
sleep with the lights on.
It's been f*cking sh1tting people up!
[James] I've seen him
before, this is f*cking weird.
[James] Right... I need
to get out of this house.
I need to get out of this f*cking house.
I just can't make sense
of everything going on
I don't know what to do
Laura's spell enchantment or whatever
I'm not sure if that's
gonna help or what but...
I just need to make sense of it all
and I'm definitely on edge because
it feels like I'm being followed.
I don't know, I'm just working
myself up because that's crazy.
I'm just really tired and
stressed and this is...
It's all just a bit much.
[Footsteps]
I think I can hear footsteps,
I don't know where
that's coming from though.
[Footsteps]
[James] Is it coming from over here?
[Footsteps]
[James] Where else could it...
[Footsteps]
[Chanting]
[Thunder]
[James gasps]
[James] What the f*ck...
What was that?
What was that?!
[Heavy breathing] What was that?!
[James] Where is he?
[Heavy breathing]
[James] What is that?
This is...
this is Laura's book.
Choose to believe.
The f*ck?!
Was she reading from this?
Right...
Okay okay...
I need to get out of here
I need to get the f*ck out of here.
What have I done?
What the f*ck have I done?
[Unzips coat]
It's a memory card!
[Sighs]
Right Sloothers, I'm gonna confront her.
[James] Who's this?
Wish me luck.
[James] This might be the
guy that sent me the actual...
Wait a minute.
I was just in this park.
[Blogger] Hello, excuse me.
Emma?
[James] I was just...
I'm sorry, who are you?
[Blogger] Well, I'm here for the truth.
The truth? Are you filming me?
Turn that thing off.
[Blogger] See, my viewers demand the truth,
so I've got to do this.
I've gotta talk to you.
I told you to stop filming me.
[Blogger] Yeah, but is it true?
Are you part of the cult responsible
for the man who went missing
on Mansfield Street?
Cult?! Jesus, you're absolutely freak!
[Blogger] Did you k*ll him though?
Did you k*ll Nick Greene?
[James] Nick Greene?
What are you talking about?
[Blogger] I have to find out the truth.
I've been watching you.
I know how that sounds.
[Emma] Leave me alone!
[Blogger] Yeah, but we've
all been trying to find you.
f*ck off, you psycho.
[Blogger] You are Emma King.
[James] Emma King? Wait, is this her?
From...
[Blogger] It is you, isn't it?
She owns Next Door. [Emma] Leave me alone.
[James] This is Emma King?
[Blogger] The... truth?
[James] What the Hell is happening?
[Blogger panics]
[Emma snarls]
[Blogger panics]
[James] Jesus Christ... wait...
I'm so confused.
So wait, there's...
Emma King...
owns next door...
How was she involved in this?
Nick...
Greene?
Is that the guy from the...
He was m*rder*d?
I wonder if it was next...
My f*cking god.
It feels like...
It feels like I've got
all the jigsaw pieces,
but I don't know how to arrange them.
I don't know what on Earth
is happening right now.
[Sighs]
Hi Anthony, you okay?
[Anthony] Well I'm good.
Well look, I got your email
with the images and the video files and...
You're right, it's weird, but
it could just be a coincidence.
I don't know what to make of it.
I thought you were coming back tonight?
[Anthony] Well I was, but
there's been a mistake so...
I'm really sorry, but they
booked a three day course
so I'll be away another night.
Oh...
Oh... Oh, okay.
[Anthony] What's been going on?
Are you alright?
Yeah, yeah, I'm fine.
I'll tell you more about
it when you get back.
[Anthony] Okay. Are you sure?
Yeah. Yeah, I'm just...
Just tired, man.
[Anthony] Well why don't
you give Daniel a call?
Perhaps you could have the night at his?
Yeah. Yeah, sounds like a good idea.
[Anthony] Okay. I'll
see you tomorrow, yeah?
Yeah. Yeah, I'll see you tomor row.
Bye...
[Sighs]
[Light switch]
[Sighs]
[Sighs]
Tomorrow's a new day, yeah?
Tomorrow's a new day...
Right...
I'm gonna leave this running
Fingers crossed it stays quiet, yeah?
[Sighs] Okay...
[Door handle rattles]
[Woman screaming like an animal]
[Woman laughing and thumping]
[James] What the f*ck?!
[Light switches clicking]
Lights aren't working...
[Woman shouts] Look... Look at her...
[James] I don't think
that's from next door,
I think it's in the house!
[Woman shouts] Look into her eyes!
[Woman shouts] Come here! [Man screams]
[James] Is Anthony back?
[Man cries in pain, the woman laughs]
[James] Anthony?
[The woman snarls, screams and laughs]
Anthony, are you back?
[James breathes heavily]
[James] Anthony?
Shit!
[Quiet chanting in a foreign language]
[James] What the f*ck?
[Low chanting]
[James] What the f*ck?
What the f*ck?
[Anthony calls out]
[James] Oh my god!
[Anthony cries out]
[James] Oh my god!
Oh my god!
What is going on?! [Anthony cries out]
Anthony?!
[Anthony calls out]
Shit!
[Anthony calls out to him]
[James] Anthony... is that...?
[Louder Chanting]
[James] Oh my god!
Anthony...?
[Low chanting]
Anthony, I'm coming!
[James] Shit... Anthony!
[Anthony muffled] James... James!
[James calls out] Anthony?!
Anthony where are you?
[Anthony cries out]
[James] Anthony... shit!
Anthony, what's going on?
What's happened?
Shit... f*ck... f*ck!
[Anthony cries]
[Jamesl can't get it undone!
Anthony wait here.
I need to get someone
sharp to cut the rope.
Sit tight ok?
Shit!
[Anthony] I'm so sorry James.
I'm really sorry.
[James] Anthony?
What is going on?
I'm so sorry.
[James] Anthony what the f*ck is going on?
[Laura] You've done very well Anthony.
[Hammer strike]
[James gasps in pain]
[Laura] Hello James.
[Laura laughs] Oh... oh!
There's no use struggling.
I made sure it's secure.
So, here we are.
This is the end.
I know.
It's sad.
But it is going to happen, I'm afraid.
You know, every few years...
someone has gone missing off this street.
And now it's your turn.
[James struggles]
[Laura] But you're different.
You've heard things others have not.
You've heard her coming.
You have a gift, James.
And that will make your blood
taste so much sweeter.
[James snarls and struggles]
[Laura] Take this
[James struggles in horror]
[Laura sighs]
This is going to hurt I'm afraid.
[James] Oh, no... No.
[James] No, no please, no,
the cameras ...recording evidence
What? What's that?
[James] The cameras are...
Oh, you have evidence...?
Yes, I know. All you're filming.
Well, it's never stopped me before.
And it never will.
I am protected.
Thanks to our guest tonight.
I have taken many forms.
Many names.
Laura.
Andrea.
Emma...
King?
It is my gift
and you are the price that I must pay.
[James struggles]
[James] Please... no please...
This is a shame because
you really are my type.
[Loud thump]
[James] No, no... please!
[Anthony] She's here.
[Stomp]
I am here, Mistress.
[Loud stomp]
Come with a willing sacrifice.
[James] No... no! [Loud stomps]
Brought new blood into
this home to be spilled...
[Stomp]
[James] Please, please... look at me.
So that you may walk this mortal plane...
and you may give me what I am due.
[James] No, please, please, no, no, please.
[Stomping]
Can you hear her?
[Anthony] Yes... YES! [Laughs]
[James] Please, look at me.
Don't, please.
This will be over any second now.
[James] Please, please, look at me.
Mistress, I offer thee.
[James] No, no, no.
[Laura struggles as she stabs him]
[James gasps as blood falls onto the floor]
[Low chanting]
[Laura laughs]
[James gasps]
[Dripping blood]
It's almost over.
[Laughs]
You belong to her now.
[Chanting]
Hail Lilith, for she walks among us.
[Stomping and chanting]
[Laura] Hail, Lilith.
[Gong and chanting]
[Laura] Hail, Lilith.
[Gong and chanting]
