day of every year a group of people
all meet up in one place and leave
miserable.

MUSIC: CALM AND SUBTLE


EVA (V.O): The only thing keeping this school
going is the wandering mystery that
it’s secretly haunted. I wouldn’t

left because they apparently saw
something.

tonight’s Halloween but right now
you’re in school so I need you to
turn your thinking caps on.

SOUND: FOOTSTEPS, PAPER SHUFFLING

minutes, good luck.

LILY: Well since it’s Halloween and we know


you’re into the supernatural…we’re staying
overnight!

MUSIC: CALM AND SUBTLE BUT DISTURBING

EVA: What. How the hell do you expect to pull


that off, let alone people say it’s
dangerous.

LEO: Well, I’ve been staying late and I see


that the janitor always leaves at ten to
six, which it’s that exact time every day.
EVA: Yeah, not like that’s creepy at all Leo.

LEO: I scouted out a small cupboard that we can


stay in until he leaves, then we can
finally find out if the rumours are true.

EVA: Okay, but you haven’t considered if we get


caught after.

LILY: If we just don’t say that we took the


proof then it could be anyone, plus the
cameras have been broken ever since that
power cut randomly last week.

EVA: Okay okay fine, but I’m only doing this


because I want to find out if ghosts
really do exist and these aren’t just all
lies to scare us.

LEO: Sounds like a plan then, meet me outside


Mr Smith’s class at 3:30, I already got us
equipment.

LILY: Like actual ghost hunting stuff?

LEO: No, of course not. I’m not rich.

EVA: You sort of are.

LEO: That’s beside the point. I’ll see you two


later.

Halloween.
