Haunting of Fringle House, The (2026)

[bunniefuu]

Evening, guys. I'm Charles Bright.

I'm the one that was on the phone.

Now, which of you is

Eric and which is Derek?

Derek.

Eric.

And y'all are brothers?

Yeah.

Well, I want to show my

gratitude to you for now.

Where's the money?

With as much as I'm giving, I got to

have your assurance this is going to work.

We're professionals, Mr. Bright.

You want to save some money, go

burn some sage or buy a Ouija board.

How long is it going to take?

From what you've told us, we should

be dealing with a class one spirit.

Shouldn't take long.

Class one?

Class one.

She likes to play the piano.

Guys, are you sure you

know how to handle this?

Did you ever hear of the Boise

Blooded Ballerina, Mr. Bright?

She haunted the theater

where she died for 40 years.

That was a real class

five spirit. We took care of

her in one night.

One night, you did?

We'll take care of your ghost problem.

All right. Well, you better.

Lights are dead.

Power must be out.

Grab your gear.

Who the hell would

live in a place like this?

Grandma would live here.

Grandma's legally blind.

Can you find me?

Behind you.

It's definitely in here.

The EMF reader's at

least 43.6 above standard

parsecs. It's got to be a class three.

Get the spirit box.

Spirit box?

Yeah.

There's something upstairs.

In the attic.

We're not going.

What are you doing? We're not going.

Okay.

We're not going.

Settle down.

It's just a mannequin.

All right. Based on the earlier EFreadings, we know that there was a ghost

in this house. But now that Derek

and I have cleared it with our trusty

AATD,

it's going to be neutralized. So,

whether you've got a spook, spirit,

or specter, we're at your service.

This house

is Ghost Brothers certified safe.

Is Ghost Brothers certified safe.

Okay, I got it.

Thanks.

All right.

Hey.

Wait. Where are you going?

Call someone else.

But you're the professionals.

I want my money back.

No refunds.

What the hell is this?

Hello, Natalie.

Mr. Dandridge. How are you today?

Me?

I'm great.

So, I'm in front of your

property, and there's

a Tanner Kincaid sign

out front, and it says it's

sold.

Mr. Dandridge, are you still there?

Yes. About that,

we decided to go with Tanner Kincaid.

But we had a signed agreement.

Well, Tanner pointed out that since we

hadn't sent it in yet, that we could switch.

Look,

we're real sorry.

Tanner just really fought for us.

We really do appreciate the hard

work that you put in, in

getting the process started.

Okay. Well, congratulations on your sale.

No, no, Sam, I really think now

is our time. I feel good about this.

What the-

What are you looking at?

Tanner.

Oh. Oh, okay.

Ugh.

Where are you going?

Wow. Looking good.

Sarcasm,

the last resort of a loser.

You could afford a $3,000 suit

if you sold 20 houses a month.

Wait,

you sold 20 houses this month?

Dandridge was 20.

Wait, wait. You sold the Dandridge house?

Closed the deal last night.

Well, that was supposed

to be Nat's property.

Nat couldn't sell water to a well.

Nat is... I mean, she might

not be my favorite person,

but she's good. I respect her. She's a

legend.

Nat is last week's news.

I'm making headlines now.

And you could be too,

if you play your cards right.

Oh.

Yeah, I think I'll play

my own hand. Thank you.

You've got ambition,

Carlisle. I'll give you that.

But you've been in the industry for

two years? You've sold

how many houses?

Oh, that's right, five. And

in a seller's market, too.

Do you have a point?

All I'm saying is,

maybe you shouldn't have

given up on your singing career.

I have my sources.

Time to go.

Did you tell him about Melody?

No.

Then how does he know?

I don't know. Google?

Sam,

I'm serious.

Sorry. I had too many

drinks at the Christmas party.

Sam.

Look, I don't know what the big deal is.

You were a teenage pop star for a minute.

Who cares?

Morning, Nat.

Thanks.

Mm-hmm.

I had the Dandridge house first.

Oh, go take care of these customers.

I had a buyer for the Dandridge house.

I was set to close next week.

And?

And they signed with Tanner yesterday.

I know.

I had it first.

They called and canceled the agreement.

And you didn't bother to tell me?

Nat, that's how this works. People

switch their real estate agent-

No.

That was my commission.

I'm sorry, Nat.

This is bt.

Can I help you?

Yes. Mr. Iqbal is here to

see Mr. Charles. Is he in?

Yes. Around the corner, to the right.

Thank you so much.

Who's that?

I love his car.

You already have a Bentley.

Can't have too many Bentleys.

Who was that?

Come on.

I've got something to tell you.

What's going on, Charles?

Guys, we're in trouble.

Well, what kind of trouble?

Tanner's running the table

on all the listings in our area.

Guys, our numbers are way low.

So was that guy a loan shark?

That guy

was Mr. Iqbal,

real estate investor.

Mm-hmm.

He owns more properties than we

could ever handle, and luck would have

it,

he's looking for somebody

to start selling his properties.

Oh, well, that's great. Doesn't

that mean the business won't

go under?

Well,

before he's willing to make the agreement,

he asked us to do one task.

Go on.

He acquired the Frengle house.

He wants us to sell that house

before he gives us the contract.

Great. We just sell that

thing and get the contract.

Nat, it's not that easy.

Of course it is.

The house is haunted.

It is not.

It's true. I've heard the ghost.

She plays piano every night.

That's a myth.

I heard it.

You did?

I was there last night.

I hired the Ghost Brothers

to come and check it out.

You hired the Ghost Brothers?

Oh, what happened?

The Ghost Brothers ran out,

took half my money with them.

Well, did they get rid of the ghost?

So we sell the house and get the contract.

Okay, were you not just listening?

First, we get rid of the ghost,

and then we sell the house,

and then get the contract.

But first, we get rid of the ghost.

Exactly. Okay, now look,

I know you two don't like

each other, but I need your help.

I need your game face on.

Fine. I will sell the house,

but I want first dibs on

all the other properties.

Okay, done.

No, but I can sell that house, too.

Aren't you afraid of ghosts?

Well...

Guys,

I'll tell you what we'll do. Whichever

one of you gets the ghost out

gets to sell the house.

Fine.

Oh, but let me tell you,

we've got two days to do it.

We got two days to find a buyer.

You can get in tomorrow afternoon.

Tomorrow is Halloween.

That is the day when

the veil between the living

and the dead is the weakest,

allowing the spirits to be at their most

powerful.

Guys, there's no better

time than the present.

Look,

we've got two days.

If you guys don't find a buyer,

we're out of a job.

Happy Halloween.

"Here lies Mrs. Frengle.

May her voice sing through the generation."

Yes, and still be heard today.

Mandy, Mrs. Frengle is dead. She is in her

grave. There's a rational

explanation for what people

hear.

Yes.

Ms. Frengle.

Ghost lore is-House or other building often

perceived as being inhabited

by disembodied spirits

of the deceased who

may have been former residents

or connected to the property.

Parapsychologists often attribute

haunting to the spirits of the

dead who have suffered from violent or

tragic events in the building's past,

such as m*rder, accidental death,

or suicide.

You sure do know a lot about ghosts.

In a majority of cases,

upon scientific investigation,

alternative causes to

supernatural phenomenon are to be

found at fault, such as

hoaxes, environmental

effects, hallucinations,

or confirmation biases.

Common symptoms of hauntings like

cold spots and creaking or knocking sounds

can be found in most homes, regardless of

suspected paranormal presences.

People are more likely to

experience a haunting when they are

about to fall asleep,

when waking, if they are

intoxicated, or sleep-deprived.

Wikipedia.

I love Wikipedia.

Okay, Mandy.

Now's the time to prove yourself.

Are you a lion or a sheep?

I can't believe you got me

hunting for ghosts on Halloween.

No better time to hunt a

ghost than Halloween night.

Girl, please.

Hey.

Hi.

You really going to take a picture of that?

Sure. Detail sale.

Yeah.

Wow, this is some great room.

This is going to be an easy sale.

Yeah. It's amazing. It's just

it's really too bad that it's-

Oh, don't say it

haunted.

Is there a light switch?

Probably

over...

Are you sure

you don't think there's a ghost?

Motion sensor.

In this house?

Sure.

Why don't you go upstairs

and take some pictures?

Yeah. I should go upstairs first.

What?

Tired?

Are you kidding me?

I jog eight miles a day.

Okay.

Nat,

Nat.

What?

What's that?

What's that?

This? Let me turn on the light.

It's a mannequin. You

brought me here for this?

I didn't... Well, we were

both looking up here.

This is-

I know, but still.

I thought it was a person. Please.

Let's go.

Oh, my goodness.

That's too

scary.

Oh, my God.

It's just the doorbell.

Yes.

Okay?

Yeah.

All right.

Okay.

Sorry.

Trick or treat!

I don't have any candy.

We'll take money.

Oh, you will?

All right. Pay the kids, Nat.

Happy Halloween.

Thank you.

You're welcome. Bye bye.

Sweetie,

turn off the light, okay?

Sweetie.

I'm not a kid. You know what?

Let's just have a truce, okay? We

both want to sell this house, so may the

best agent win.

I was selling houses in this town

when you were in grade school.

There's no debate over

who is the better agent.

Okay. Well, then there is no reason

why you should feel threatened by

me.

I'm not.

You know why people think this house is

haunted?

Because it is?

Because it's old.

No. Didn't you hear a few years ago,

those kids that came in here and they never

came back out?

That's an urban legend.

No, it's true.

Where did you hear that from?

My brother, because he was friends with

the cousin of the guy who actually came in

here and-

Credible source.

Don't break anything.

Where are you going?

Upstairs.

Nat?

Nat?

Oh, you are not going

to scare me into leaving.

Scare you? You're trying to scare me.

No, you're the one that moved

the teapot and the teacup.

I have been upstairs,

and I found your dolls,

and I saw your mannequins.

Okay. I have no idea what you're

talking about. I didn't touch anything.

Sure.

Where are you going?

Lock the doors.

Why?

Why?

We're going to get to the bottom of this,

and we're not leaving until we do.

And we're going to stay together

from here out.

Fine.

So,

what did you see?

Dolls.

So?

They were moved,

and the light bulb.

Light bulb?

Yes, and the mannequin.

Okay. I swear, I don't know

what you're talking about.

I didn't touch anything.

So you

didn't move the tea kettle?

No.

Well, then it

must've been Miss Pringle, huh?

Well, that's a possibility

But assuming

there

isn't a ghost,

what could it be?

I guess

it could be someone messing with us?

Yes.

Someone human.

Okay, wait. Wait, wait, wait.

I am not doing that-

Okay

right now.

Okay. Okay.

What's that smell?

Oh, wait a minute. Come

on, let's get out of here.

Oh, I thought we weren't leaving, though.

We won't for a ghost,

but we will for a fire.

Oh, come on.

This way, this way, come on.

You still don't believe that

this place is not haunted?

It can't be.

Oh.

Oh my God. Oh, I'm sick of this st.

Whoever's doing this, knock it off.

Oh, yeah, I'm sure

that the ghost will listen.

Fk you, hell.

Oh, I'm out of here.

Go. Go.

I'm out of here. Oh.

No, no. Let me try.

I got this.

No, no, no. You're kind of on the wrong

side of 40 to be doing this, so let me in.

Let us out.

Oh, geez. You're talking to the ghost?

Look,

there's no such

thing.

Okay, let me try.

Okay. One, two, three. Oh.

Oh, Sam.

Sorry.

There was smoke on the

main floor. Are you okay?

Yeah. Yeah, I think so.

How did you get in here?

The front door was open.

It was?

Yeah.

Uh, what's so funny?

You two did this.

Did what?

If you think you're

going to get rid of me that

easily...

Nat, we didn't do anything.

I gotta admit, you almost had me.

Okay, can someone catch me up to speed?

Yeah, Nat thinks that we

are pulling pranks on her like

kids.

I literally just got here.

Sure it was. That was

you at the front door.

No, it wasn't. Call Charles. I

was at the office until about

five minutes ago.

I bet your voice was

on the radio, wasn't it?

Nat, I just said we didn't do anything.

So what's the next trick?

The power went out.

Sure. How convenient.

The breaker must have been

pulled.

Okay, Nat, how could we pull the

breaker when we are right here?

Somebody may have helped you. Who?

Is Charles in on this?

See, you all are trying to mess with me.

There must be a breaker.

Yes, let's go look for it.

Okay.

Oh, you guys, wait a second. My phone is...

What?

Breaker's probably in the attic. Let's go.

Guys.

You guys, I know where

the breaker is, just...

Nat?

Yeah, yeah. Come here.

Whoa,

check this out.

What?

It's the Ghost Brothers back.

What?

They have a public access TV show.

Whoa.

Oh, one less problem.

High five.

Uh-uh. Nope.

No.

Madigan?

Hey. I just want to play a game with you.

You don't want to leave. Please stay.

Oh, my God.

Stay with me

What?

Hey.

Who the hell are you?

Who the hell am I? Who the

hell are you? This is my house.

This is your house?

Yeah.

No.

Mm-mm.

Nobody lives here. This

house has been empty

for over a year.

I've been here for the past 10 years.

What's your name?

Beau.

Beau Buford.

The last owner of this house

was Helen Fringle.

Mm-hmm.

Yeah. I was her personal care attendant,

and I was here for the past five years

until she passed away, taking care of her.

Hmm.

So,

what?

You decided to stay here

after she died?

Yeah.

Towards the end,

given she had no next of kin, she

was going to leave the house to me.

So,

they deemed her mentally unfit to

change the will.

Sure. Likely story.

It's the truth.

So,

what's up with the mannequin?

I use it to scare people

off, they don't buy the house.

So you cut the power?

Who else would've done it?

Hmm. Maybe a

ghost.

A ghost?

There's no ghost.

So

You messed with the dolls,

you turned on and off the

lights, and you started the teapot?

All me.

I don't believe you.

Look,

I heard you talking about

selling the house and

snapping photos,

and I wanted you out of here.

So I thought I would just wait for you

upstairs, and eventually you'd come

up there, and I'd scare the

st out of you so you would

leave.

Can you tell us about her?

What?

Well, what was she

like?

She was incredible.

You loved her, didn't you?

What? What, me?

A ghost love story.

There's no ghost.

But I did love her.

So

Were you a little too old for...

No.

She was my mentor.

Just... Her eyes and

her hair, and the way she

moved, and

whenever I was just hurting

inside, she always knew what to say.

I mean, she was so strong.

I'd never met a woman like that before.

Can I go?

Why?

Why did she haunt this house,

Beau?

I'm not sure.

Aha. So there is a ghost.

Beau,

you're saying there

is a ghost?

Yes.

How did she die?

She had dementia.

She didn't even recognize

me when she was passing.

When did you first know

Ms. Fringle was here?

It was the week after she passed.

I went upstairs and started

to organize things, and

I heard this noise, this sound.

So I followed the sound, and

I went into the room, and

these dolls just walking

across the room, and

there were some in the corner, and it

scared the st out of me.

Did Helen do that?

Yeah.

She loved her tea.

What's with the dolls?

I don't know.

Towards the end,

she was always just in the room

playing with the dolls and having

tea,

just all day,

and I think it might

have kept her mind here

You know?

She needs to do something about the dolls.

Yeah, it took a while to get used to.

Have you seen her?

No.

Can you talk to her?

I tried.

Nothing.

Even if I could,

I don't think I could tell her she passed.

They say

ghosts can be seen in

candlelight.

Really?

Are you all for real?

Class one spirits can

be seen in candlelight.

How many classes are there?

Based on the "Ghost

Brothers" show, there are five

classes.

Class fives can be seen

in the day or night, and

they can choose to be

seen or not. They also know

that they're ghosts.

Let's try it.

Try what?

This candle thing.

You want to see Miss Ringel?

Do you want to save our jobs?

Let's do it.

Let's do this.

Are you sure this is going to work?

No, but we need to try.

Let's do this and get it over with.

What are you doing?

I don't know.

Maybe

I'm just

not ready to see if it's really her yet.

No.

Let's resolve this ghost thing.

Who knows what will happen

to this house if we don't.

Aunt Helen.

Well,

maybe the Ghost Brothers were full of st.

Or maybe

she's not here.

She was never really up here too much.

I'm out of here.

Who are you?

What are you doing in my house?

Did you see that?

Oh.

Oh,

gosh.

Was that

Miss Ringel?

She looks so young.

Ghosts sometimes, they

return to the prime of life,

forever young.

Okay.

Okay. Sam,

light the candle again.

Wait. No, no.

She didn't seem happy to see us.

I think we scared her.

We need to communicate with her.

We just need to remind her who she

is.

No, we need to sell the house

and let someone else deal with it.

Nat.

Bo.

Come on,

we can do this.

Fine.

Bo, talk to her.

Helen.

Who are you?

What are you doing here?

Helen,

it's me.

It's Bo.

You don't remember me?

Hello there.

My name is Natalie.

Do you know your name?

Do you know who you are?

Who are you?

Why are you in my house?

Your name is Helen Fringle.

This is your house.

Yes.

Yes. This is my house.

Why are you in it?

We are here to help you.

We're here to help you remember.

Come on, follow me.

Come on.

This is your home.

Beau?

Helen.

What happened?

You passed away.

How long have I been gone?

10 years.

10 years?

I don't want to live like this.

What do we need to do?

We need to get her to a holy ground,

a church or a cemetery or a prayer garden.

She'll find peace there.

How do we do that?

How do we take her to a holy ground?

Do ghosts ride in cars?

I'm not sure, actually.

Well, we better find out.

So,

what's a prayer garden?

It's a place of spiritual

energy used for prayer

or meditation. Usually, it's a natural

place

with a statue or other religious imagery.

Oh, hold up. Let me see this.

Is it like this?

Yeah.

Okay.

Tanner?

What are you doing here?

How'd you get in here?

I walked in.

But the door was locked.

I think you're dead.

What?

I'm not dead.

Yep, you're dead.

What?

This

can't be happening.

That's impossible.

That's what you get for being a pk.

This

does not work with my wardrobe.

You.

I will haunt you for the rest of your life.

Let's get out of here.

Oh, yes.

Oh, this is too much.

Come on.

Just

move

it. Move it.

We're stuck. Go. Go.

I'll suck your soul.

Okay. What's this?

Try me.

Okay. Okay.

It's an AED.

Okay.

It neutralizes their spirit energy.

How do you know all this?

How is he so powerful?

Oh my God.

Oh my God,

what did you do?

You know nothing about what you're doing.

Is she...

Where did he go?

Where did he go?

I'm not sure.

Where's Helen?

I'm everywhere.

The spirit energy must be overpowered

by Tanner's. He's a class four.

What did you say about holy ground?

Uh

We'll buy him some time.

Okay.

Okay.

What?

You have poopy pants.

You got boogers coming out of your nose.

Oh, did you over-pluck your brows, Tanner?

Yeah.

That was good.

Your breath stinks.

You have holes in your shirt.

Mm-hmm. That's not even fitted.

Did you even get it tailored, Tanner?

You can't afford new pants.

Your shirt's looking dirty.

Oh, no.

Do you know anything about brand naming?

These are absolutely gorgeous.

They cost more than your yearly salary.

Your butt looks like a

soggy waffle, Tanner.

Is that a Chia Pet on your chest?

Yeah. You're looking a little skinny.

Everything inside is just as

wonderful as what's on the

outside. Don't you understand?

The power of the

pectorals, the tight abs, the

slender, thin, tapered

areas through here, and the

perfectly flexed glutes.

You're hairy. You're a hairy, hairy

person and your hair's all over the

place, Tanner.

Oh, st, I didn't even do my hair.

Oh, buddy, that beard is

getting so patchy, it's like Swiss

cheese.

I will destroy you.

What did you do to me?

Holy ground.

Let me out.

Goodbye, Tanner.

You won't be rid of me.

We'll see about that.

Goodbye,

Bo.

Goodbye, Bo.

You sure you want to do this?

Yes.

Haunting a house is

no way to spend eternity.

I'm going to miss you.

I'm going to miss you.

I'm going to miss you.

But

we'll see one another again.

What's going to happen

to her when she passes on?

She will be at peace.

Are you going to be okay?

Yeah.

Can we get out of here now?

Bo, you coming?

Nah.

I'm just going to hang

out here for a little bit.

We survived.

Barely.

Thanks to Wikipedia.

Told you so.

What is he doing here?

Here, you go.

No.

No, you go. You

got

it.

Good morning, my friend.

Ghost has been handled.

They have?

They?

We had a surprise friend show up.

Interesting.

And Ms. Pringle?

She's at peace now.

Good. Knew you guys can do it.

You did?

We handled the ghost issue.

But I don't think that you

can close on the sale of

the house before the deadlines.

My associate will handle the paperwork.

Vinnie, if you please.

Here you are.

Thank you.

Is this for real?

Yes, ma'am.

So who is Mr. Iqbal really?

He's really not

a real estate investor, is he?

Well, he is a real estate investor, but

let's just say he has

somewhat of a soft spot for

the special tenants.

You mean haunted properties?

Bingo.

I trust you found the

offer to be acceptable.

Did Charles sign off on this?

Yes, he did.

How long have you worked for Mr. Iqbal?

50 years.

What? Does that mean that Vince-

He could be.

Maybe.

Where to now, boss?

We are paranormal investigators.

We investigate mysteries

of the unknown, the

sounds, the noises, the goo. You never

know when you're just going to get goo from

when you open the fridge,

and goo, or you open a door

and a ghost vomits right all over you.

Or passes through you,

leaving their goo behind.

Some people don't like the

goo. I, for one, don't mind the goo.

In fact, I kind of like the goo.

Which is why I let him handle

that part, because I'm not a fan.

Talk about when you were grabbed.

When that hand grabbed

mine, well, it made me

feel a lot of things, really. I

hadn't really had a

lot of contact for quite

some time. What was disturbing

was how good it made me

feel just to have

the touch of

another being.

So because of our equipment being

left behind in our presence, we can say

that the Pringle house is definitely-

100%

Ghost Brothers certified safe.

Ghost Brothers certified safe.
