(laughter)



(Zak): Oh, um... Oh.



(Zak laughing) Yay!



- Well done, Zak! Great pyramid!



- Shall we build another one?

(rustling and creaking) Huh?



- Um...



(rustling and creaking)

(gasping)



(alarmed tweeting) What was that?



- I don't know. I've never heard that noise before.



(clattering)

(gasping)



- Hmm.

(tweeting)



(gasping)



(tweeting) Heh. It's alright. It's probably just the wind.

Um...



- But there isn't any wind.

- You're right. That's weird.



(Zak gasping)

- Maybe...

it was a ghost!



(tweeting)



(Zou laughing)

- Don't be silly.

There's no such thing as ghosts.

See? That's where the noise is coming from.

Grandpa must be working on the roof.

Grandpa, have you been up on the roof?



- Oh, not yet. I, uh, I went to fetch something to unblock the gutter.



- So what made the noise?

- Hmm.



- We heard this strange noise in my bedroom.

(rustling and creaking)



- Oh.

(Zak whimpering)

- There!

It sounds like it's moving.



- You're right, Zou.

I wonder what it can it be?



- Hi! What are you playing?



- Elzee.

- You made me jump!



(giggling)

- Sorry, Zak.



(chuckling)

- These two have heard some strange noises.

Heh. Well, uh, so have I.



- It might be a ghost!



- A ghost?! Brilliant!

I've always wanted to see a ghost!



- I don't think you're going to. There's no such thing.



- Quite right, Zou.

(creaking)

- Oh, look!

The curtain's moving!

(Zou): Huh?

It's probably just Mom.



- Let's go and clear up this mystery. Come on.



(tweeting)



- Uh...

- Hmm.



- Uh, no.



- Hmm. There's nobody here.



- But the curtain's still moving.



- But how?



- Well, the window's slightly open. There must be a draft.



- But that still doesn't explain all the noises.



(rustling and creaking)

(Grandpa gasping)



- Oh!



(Zak whimpering)



- You know, I think Zak's right.

(rustling and creaking)

There is something strange going on.



- It's coming from all over the place!



- We need to find out what's going on.



- Okay, Grandpa, let's split up.



- Oh, okay.



(giggling)



(creaking)



(Zou whispering): Shhh. We mustn't make any noise.



- Hmm.

(creaking)



(gasping)

(clattering)



(Zak whimpering)



(laughter)



- Oh.

(laughter)



(chuckling)

- Must be playing hide

-and

-seek.



(exclamations)

(laughter)



- Zak? Elzee? I thought we said we're going to split up.



- But a door creaked! Down there.



(clattering)

- Oh.



(Zou gasping)

- Huh.



- Oh! It's coming from your flat, Grandpa!



- Well, that'll be Grandma, then.

Let's go and see.



(creaking)



(creaking)

- But she's not here!

(clattering)



- Oh! Listen! It goes all the way upstairs!



(creaking)

- Yes!



- I think I've got an idea. Come along.

See? Now, if anyone comes through here,

they'll disturb this little lot.



- And then we won't miss whatever it is.



- Hmm. Great idea.



- Shall we put some on the landing too?



(Zou laughing)

(clattering)



(exclamations)

- The spoons!



- Our trap worked!



- Let's go and see!



(whimpering)



- Zak, you're not scared, are you?



- Uh... no, no! Of course not!



(whimpering)



(rustling and creaking)

(exclaiming)



- Ah. Whose idea was it to hang these spoons up here?!



- Oh. Um... Ahem.



- But how did you get in?



- We would've seen you coming along the hallway.

- Oh...



- I was on the balcony, reading my book in the sunshine.

And when I came in, I bumped into your Grandpa's strange decorations!



- We thought you were a ghost.



- A ghost?! Me?!



(laughing)

Oh, what imaginations you little ones have.



(laughing) And big ones.



- Uh...

(chuckling) Let me give you a hand.



- Hmm.

(rustling)

- Oh! Did you hear that?



- It's the ghost!

- Hmm.

Maybe it's trying to tell us something.



- Do ghosts talk?

(Elzee giggling)



- Ghost, do you want to play with us?



(Zak whimpering)

(Zou laughing)



- Elzee, I don't think ghosts talk.



(creaking)

- Ah!

(whimpering)



(alarmed tweeting)



- Hmm.

- He says yes.



- Uh... how do you know?

- We need to agree a code.

Are you a ghost?

Tap once for yes, twice for no.



(two thuds)

There you go. Not a ghost.

- Hmm.



- If it says it's not a ghost, then what is it?



(knocking sounds)

(exclamations)

(all moaning)



(tweeting)

(knocking)



- Uh...

(Grandpa chuckling)



- I don't think that tapping is an answer to your questions.

There must be someone tapping against a wall.



- Yes, but who?



- Let's go and see.

(Zou laughing)



- Uh... are you sure you want to go up there?



(banging)

(screaming)



- It's coming from Nanna's bedroom!



(Grandma): Goodness me!



(kids gasping) Oof! Ooh!



- Nanna! Was it you making those knocking noises?



- Oh. You heard me?



- Yeah, she's not a ghost.



- Aw. And I really wanted to see one.



- I said we'd find the answer.

- But what about all those other noises?



- I heard some strange noises too!

And I saw something scuttling across the wall!

I tried to shoo it away with my walking stick.



- Something... scuttling?



(whimpering)



(mournful tweeting)

- Hmm.



(rustling and creaking)

I think it's hiding in the gutter.



- In the gutter? What is it?

- Only one way to find out.



- Yes! Come on!



(both chuckling)



(tweeting)



(grunting)



- I think we've solved our mystery. Look.



(tweeting)



(all): Ah, lizards!



- Hmm. They'd set up home in the gutter.

They must've got lost.



- So it was those little lizards making all that noise?



- Yes. When they moved around, the noise echoed in the gutter

and spread all through the house.



- And they blocked the gutter.

- That's right.

And now I'm going to have to move them out.



- Oh, poor things! What will they do?



- What if we made them a new home?

- Oh! Yes!

A new home! Yay!



(laughter) A new home!



- Hmm.



(Elzee giggling)



(tweeting)



(tweeting)



(Elzee): It's so pretty!



(tweeting)

(laughter)



(Zou): There you go.

(Zak): They really like their new home.



(tweeting)

- Yes.

And they'll be much better off here than in the gutter.



- Yay!!!

You see, Poc? No need to be afraid.

Ghosts don't exist.



(tweeting)



(laughter)
