No.

So it had to be

So what happened next?

You slightly woke up
and I helped you back into bed

- What about the door?
- RANDY: Do you guys know where my beach tote is?

What's a beach tote?
It's a bag you put all your beach sh*t in,

like lotion, and towels...

Hallway cabinet,
living room.

I already saw it...

with your sister.
Okay.

I'm with Matt on this one,
it looks a draft.

To me it was scary.

Okay, but
from what I'm seeing

it's a little farfetched
to say the house is haunted.

What are you saying?

It's not a haunting
until what?

Until something drags me to hell?
Yes.

So I'll just wait around until
something potentially kills me?!

Look, I know that
moving is hard,

and maybe...

and maybe the loss of...
Don't you dare!

Okay, I understand.

Packing up is difficult.

But we're here now,

And, yes,
starting over is hard.

This has nothing to do
with the move!

It feels like you two
are teaming up on me!

No, we're not!

Okay, let's... let's...
let's just look at it

from a different perspective,
okay?

An outsiders'
perspective.

- Haunted house...
- STACI: Mm-hmm.

Teenage girl all by herself
in the middle of the night,

blowing things out
of proportion...

Huh?

We just all handle
grief differently.

It's all I'm saying.

I probably drink too much.
You sleepwalk.

Your sister...

wears less clothes.

It's all perfectly normal.

You're right!

You're so right!
[SCOFFS]

I mean, it's probably
just the wind.

I just have an overly
active imagination.

Come on, that's not what I'm saying...
No, you know what?

I can't do this
right now.

Where are you going?
Matt's house.

Chill in the backyard,
catch some rings.

Sweet.
Can I come?

f*ck yeah, you can!

Awesome!

So, I hear your house
is haunted?

Oh, yeah?
Where did you hear that?

Word gets around.

It could be.

You think so?

I mean, a couple of years back
there this older kid named Cody.

He...

Dude, what the f*ck?!

Dude...

chill with that.

Why?
I was just saying...

Saying what?

Nothing.

Come on, tell me.
I want to know.

It's nothing.

Last year, this kid,

he did some stupid sh*t
in your neighborhood.

That's all.

Okay...

don't tell me.

It's probably not
that good anyways.

No, it's bad.

Like, my mom still cries
when she thinks about it bad.

So...
Really?

It doesn't matter.

It has nothing to do with
some door closing at your house.

I mean, besides, do you
really want to be the new girl

who thinks
her house is haunted?

We just moved here.

What is it I can do
for you, Mr. Van Patton?

Um...

I just need somebody to, uh,
look at the footage and...

and give me their assessment.

I think you daughter Staci
is a sleepwalker.

Randy's blanket, that adheres
to the laws of gravity

like anything else.

Have you tried
taking Staci to a...

physician?

I did that this morning.

They said it was...

They said it may be
sleepwalking brought on

by the loss of her mother.

Well,
there's your answer.

I have to say
I agree with it.

Sheriff, um...

with all due respect,

I think there's something
more than that.

Strange things are happening
in my house!

Are you...

suggesting that
something...

ethereal or...?

Have you ever heard of a kid
by the name of Cody?

Cody?

My daughter said
that her, uh,

her boyfriend
and his friend

mentioned a kid that lived in
this town by the name of Cody.

And what are they saying
about this kid Cody?

She really couldn't say.

But she said something
really bad happened.

Mr. Van Patton,
I have been the Sheriff

in this town
for over years.

Most of my days are spent
with property line disputes,

drunken teenagers
causing a ruckus.

If something bigger
than that happens in this town,

I am the one to know.

Something strange
is happening in my house!

Mr. Van Patton,
I am not disputing that.

But right now,
right at this moment,

what would you have me do?

There's nothing... nothing
online anywhere about ghost

or hauntings in Auburn,
California, or Francisco Oaks.

That is because ghosts,
they are not real.

Then how do you explain
the other night?

I don't know.

You said at the doctor
this morning

they said it was stress
leading to your sleepwalking.

They said it could be.

I mean,
they couldn't confirm it.

Oh, come on!
I mean what else could it be?

You get up at the middle
of the night

and you walk around
while you're sleeping.

Well, what about Cody?

What?

Miles, he was saying
something about Cody...

No. No way, I'm not
talking about that.

RANDY: About what?
Look, that has nothing to do with ghosts.

I mean, it's just
some town tragedy

that we're all trying
to move past.

I mean it...
it could have been...

No it f*cking
couldn't have been.

Come on, please?

I'll give you a tour
of my room later.

Okay.
Alright, alright.

Spill.

A couple of years ago...

this kid Cody
shot his mother

and his father
and his little sister.

Oh, my God.

Yeah, so that's
the town's dirty secret.

I mean, we keep it quiet partly
because folks say

it hurts property value
and tourist traffic,

and partly because
the town folks, I mean,

they love their g*ns,
and nothing makes you rethink

that more than kids
sh**ting their parents.

What happened to Cody?

After he shot his family
he turned the g*n on himself.

Where did this happen?

Francisco Oaks.
[SCOFFS]

Uh, I'm sorry, I don't think
I heard you correctly.

Where?

Francisco Oaks.

None. Okay.
So what does that prove?

Okay, well, if a m*rder
had taken place in this house

they'd have to disclose it
prior to sale.

It's a legal thing.

So, no one was m*rder*d
in this house?
