Ghost Tour (2015)
(suspenseful music)
- With that, we are back where we began. If anyone has any questions, I'm more than happy to answer them. Speak now or forever hold your peace. (chuckling) - You never did tell us why the museum is closing. - It would seem that everyone who wanted a tour has already taken one. - [Woman] That is a shame. - Yes. Well, time doesn't stand still. Unless you're a ghost. - And after all these years here Mr. Sawyer, do you believe in ghosts? (door creaks open) (dramatic music) - Richard does not, has not, and will not ever believe in ghosts. William Sawyer, curator, at least for the next few hours. - Are you two ... - Brothers. Ricky tell you about our little claim to fame? - Bill ... - Last two standing at the Clemons School for Boys. - [Woman] What do you mean? - [Richard] After the incident ... - [William] We were students here. - It's nothing to be proud of. - Sure it is. 30 students and faculty, and we're the two that made it out. I'll drink to that, I got a nice Scotch in the office. - [Richard] It's gonna kill you. - We all gotta go sometime. Pleasure meeting. And thank you for being the final patrons on our legendary ghost tour. (ghost sound) - Right, well, we should go. Class in the morning. - Yeah. Thank you, this is gonna make a fascinating paper. - [Richard] Glad to help. - So 30 people dead, and no idea what happened? - Plenty of ideas. Just no answers. - Well, a lot of the stuff gets covered up. Maybe someday. - [Richard] Doubtful. But I appreciate your optimism. - Thanks again. - Mr. Sawyer, did I understand you correctly? - Yes. Ten years after it happened, something drew me back to this place. I'm haunted by memories. Not by ghosts. (dramatic music) Excuse me. (suspenseful music) - [Woman] Mr. Sawyer. We've thought of another question. - [Man] What's in here? - That room is not on the tour, and our time is up, so if you would just come with me. - This time tomorrow, the building will be rubble. - William doesn't want us in there. - [Man] Can't you make an exception? - I'm sorry, it's off limits. (door creaking) - Is it? - Are you coming? - I'm calling security. (suspenseful music) I don't find this amusing. Who are you? - He doesn't remember. - [Man] I told you he wouldn't. - Ricky. We missed you at dinner. - Tom. - I'm going to do homework, can you help? - This isn't happening. - Okay, I'll see you upstairs. - Shall we? - Remind us again why this room is off limits. - Artifacts. Rare artifacts. What do you want? - To teach. - Teach? Teach who? - Ricky! It's almost lights-out. Get your books, hurry up! - On the desk. (suspenseful music) - [Richard] William. - [William Voiceover] November 30th, 1973. In 12 hours, this museum, my alma mater, will return to the dust from whence it came. And with it, my story. (coughing) (suspenseful music) - What do I do? - Read. - [William Voiceover] On April 21st, 1922, my grand experiment was a success. I expected five, maybe ten. But every student, every teacher. Better than I ever could have imagined. (coughing) (dramatic music) - [Richard] We have to help him. - He's a memory, Richard, he can't be helped. - This isn't real! - Still don't believe in ghosts? - [William Voiceover] A healthy dose of rodenticide in the evening supper's all it took. A benefit of living in a time before toxicology reports. Everyone wants to be remembered. Every boy I went to school with, every instructor who picked up a piece of chalk wanted to make their mark on history. And on that ordinary April night, I gave us all the gift of immortality. We are the heroes, both living and dead, or our very own ghost story. (dramatic music) - Richard, come on, what's taking so long? Don't drag this out, goodbyes are easier when they're fast. - William ... - Don't be so sentimental. Ah ... You need a drink. Pick your poison. (dramatic music) |
