The Sound (2017)
Are you Kelly?
Yes. Come in. Thanks for coming. That's my ah, my grandson, Evan. Well, the sightings have been happening in his bedroom. Okay. Here, let me get you some light. There you go. Evan, do you always see the ghosts at night? Evan, Evan! Evan, come on back, come on. Come on. You know, he hasn't been the same since his mother died. He, ah started having these sightings. Our family has lived in this house for, oh, 150 years or more. My great great grandparents built it. I never heard any talk about any ghosts or nothing. Do you mind? No, no, go ahead. Bingo. Is there an airport near here? Ah, no, not nearby, no, couple of hundred miles, where you came in. Anything smaller, like a helicopter landing pad? Ah, no, not that I know of. And this is mostly farmland, right? Yeah. What do your neighbors farm? Wheat, few other grains, mostly wheat. Have your neighbors recently started dusting their crops at night instead of during the day? Yes, they have but what's that got to do with? There is no such thing as ghosts. Breakfast? Oh hey. I'll eat in a little bit. Babe. I have to go. It's a lead on a story. What? Where? Toronto, i have to go to Toronto. Well when will you be home? I'll be back in time for the party tonight, I promise. Jesus, kel, take a day off already. Soon, I'll do that soon. Lower bay station, please. Don't you mean upper bay? There's no lower bay anymore, you know? I know, I just need you to get me to the station entrance, that's the closest. Okay. Hi mom. So, how are you doing today, honey? I'm fine. Are you sure? No, I've been fine on this day every year for the past 30 years, really. I'm okay. Okay. Is that it, 'cause I really, I need to go. Sure. Um, if you need me. Yeah, I know. Bye. So what brings you to Canada? I'm doing a story on the abandoned subway station. Really? What about it? Well, the fact that people say it's haunted. Yeah, that's why they call it the ghost station. Have you been down there? Actually yeah, but it was a long time ago. Just a few years after that lady was killed down there on the tracks, right. It was like 1969. Do you know anything about that woman? The one who died. You know, some people said she was at lakeshore asylum, which connects two of the stations through these underground tunnels. But I don't know any of the facts, like I say, I just know what I heard. Anything else? Some say she was pregnant. She had twins, one was stillborn and the father, he never came to visit. I think one day she just snapped. Something happen when you went down there? My friends and I snuck in and. And? What are you doing down here? I could ask you the same thing. Do you ever feel anything down here? Like what? Like a vibration or a pain in your ears? Do you ever see anything? Like a ghost? Like the lady in red? Who? That's what they call her, the lady that jumped. She was covered in blood when they found her. Oh. But we never go that far down to, where she died. Where is it? We have to go that way. But it's pretty far. Are you going? Yeah, I'll see you later. Not if she sees you first. Didn't your parents tell you? There's no such things as ghosts. Hello? Is someone here? Come on. Come on. Uh, hello? You the lady that reported the dead body? Yes. What's your name, miss? Kelly Johansen. Address? Traveling. Okay, why don't you just lead the way? Got a call about a body? I was just about to check it out. Yeah. Detective Richards. This who called it in? Yeah. Well I'll take it from here. You can go. All yours. Let's go. After you. So what exactly has you hanging around down here? Didn't you see the signs? Yeah, I saw the signs. You're just not big on following the rules. Look, I'm just down here backpacking. This is it. He was here. Are you sure you got the right place? I'm sure I know what I saw. Well we're seeing otherwise. Why don't you tell me again why you're really down here? Okay fine, you're not buying the backpacking thing. For one thing you don't have a backpack, you have a duffle. Which looks pretty big and bulky with a creepy doll inside. Wanna tell me what else you got inside there? Does it matter? There was a dead body there now there's not. Fine, I study sound waves. Paranormal activity, that's what I do. I write books, I blog. Alright, now we're getting somewhere. Well, if you're the expert, how do you think the body disappeared? All right, you buy yourself one night down here to prove or disprove whatever you like. Or what, you're gonna throw the book at me? Yeah, something like that. Be careful down here. Those danger signs are up there for a reason. Oh! Well, I didn't mean to scare you. It's okay. I didn't know anyone was down here. Oh, I just set down here every once in a while to change bulbs. They all usually burn out at the same time. Seems like a waste, since nobody's supposed to be down here. But I just do as I'm told. I'm Clinton Jones. Kelly Johansen. I better get on to the next one. Have you ever seen anything down here? What kind of anything? What are you doing down here? Trying to catch yourself a ghost? Something like that. Come on. Let me show you something. This is where the cemetery ends. This is a graveyard? Oh. I thought you knew. Lots of people come down here now. Looking for ghosts. Since news came out that the station was built on Potter's field. Potter's field was a graveyard? No, it was a cemetery for the faithless. The poor. And friendless. So they just built right over it? Something like that. Some people call it the stranger's graveyard. Cemetery officially closed in 1855. The next of kin was given the option of either claiming the body or having it moved. So the bodies were moved? Those that were claimed were moved. And the strangers were left behind? That's the rumor. About 5,000 or so unclaimed. What exactly brought you down here? Honestly? I thought I knew, but now I'm not so sure. I'm sure you'll figure it out. I better get on. Maybe I'll see you again. Okay. Kel? Kelly? Help me. Will you help me? Help me. If you know who this is, then you know what to do. Damnit, kell, come on. You're not real. Help me. -Help me. - Emily? Help me. Help me. No. What? How can I help you? Yes, I'd like a flight from Detroit to Toronto. Miss Johansen? Miss Johansen? Are you still down here? Miss Johansen? It's me. Detective Richards. We met earlier. So what happened? I don't know. I saw a woman. What'd she look like? Just an image, like smoke with no eyes. Did you see anything else? No, nothing else. What about your research? What'd you find? Something I've never seen before. It's below any infrasonic sound I've ever recorded. What does that mean? It's a type of sound, sound that's below the threshold of human hearing, can't really be heard, but it can be felt. There are researchers, people like me, believe that this type of tactile sound is what causes ghost sightings, which are really just hallucinations. How would that be? Well, the sound causes vibrations. Vibrations that cause subtle eye movement, movement in the matter around you. If this type of sound is strong enough, it can bend metal, it could crush a car. Here's a different school of thought. People that think the sound is caused by the spirits. That the frequency opens up some sort of portal to the other side, which is, of course, completely ridiculous. So you don't believe that ghosts are real? I've spent my entire career proving they're not. Why would this place have that kind of sound? This station, because it's under other functioning stations serves as a sort of vessel for this tactile sound. So how would you prove that these waves of what these people are seeing down here? I've been looking over the map of the tunnels and there's an area, it's at the farthest end of the station, I think the waves, I think they should be the strongest there. The location of that room's where all three tunnels converge. I think they'll be so potent we may be able to record the hallucinations. I'm game if you are. Hey, I let you sleep for awhile. Thought you could use it. Yeah. You sure you're up for this? Yes I'm sure. You sure? You could be home in a warm bed. No, I'm an insomniac. - Let's do this. - Alright. So what are we looking for here? Zep, here. It's at the end of the station. That room there. Alright, I see it. And then what? Then we hope to record infrasonic waves to prove to the paranormally curious, once again, that there is no such thing as ghosts and that this thing they call the ghost station is really just a rat infested pit with some interesting graffiti. Then I suppose people won't come down here no more, right? Sure, unless i can't prove it's fake. But that's not a possibility, is it? So what are you? A believer or non? I really haven't given it much thought. So annoying. I get perfect Internet from the upper bay, but down here, my phone signal drops out. What are you doing? I'm documenting my activity. I like to put pictures with my stories. And what does graffiti have to do with your story? This isn't just any graffiti. This is the infamous lady in red. And how do you know that? I saw some photos online. Some photos? No, there's no photos. And how would you know that, detective? I thought you weren't interested in ghost stories. What happened? That just looks like a light fell. Oh, old fingers. The light's still out in the back. Oh, I'm working on it. I'm sure there's no rush to fix them. Since no one's supposed to be down here. I'll get on it. Come on, let's go. Take me to the lower bay station. Guess you don't need the map. Who are you? It doesn't matter who I am. All right? The only thing that matters is that you and me want the same thing. Ok? What do you want? And why did you lie to me? Why did you act like you didn't know anything about this place? Look, there's only one thing I'm interested in. And that one thing is for you to prove that there's no ghosts down here. Simple. What if I can't? And why couldn't you? I mean, that is what you do, is it not? Unless you changed your mind and you believe in ghosts. Do you? No. I don't believe in ghosts. Ok. Then you can do this. - Why do you care so much? - It's none of your business. I just need you to prove this, ok? And I don't need any pictures of that graffiti or videos leaking out. Oh my god. You're the one. It was you. That sent me the photos, you that contacted me, it was you that messaged me. How do you even know? It wasn't that hard to find out. Now. I understand. It must have been scary for an eight year old. I mean, they never did close that case, did they? And that is why you ended up in the institution. Look, just follow the plan, and you'll walk away from this. Why are you doing this? You know why I'm doing this, I want you to do what you came here to do. Debunk. You tell all those people that it's those sound waves and all that crap that you write about. Move. Come on. I don't want to hurt you. But I will. So just stick with the plan, and we'll both walk away from here. Ok? Get up. Move. What? This is it. How do you know? I can feel it. So what now? You read the sound, right? Right, well, fortunately, one of us has to stay out here to measure waves while the other goes inside. What's going on? I don't know, there must be some kind of accident. You ready? Yeah, I'm ready. Detective, get out of there. Huh? Detective. Come on, let me go. Please. Come on. Detective, detective. Detective, get out of there. Get out of there. Help me. Jesus, kel, I've been worried sick. There's something going on down here. I need help. All right, all right. Just try and stay calm, ok? Can you get out? I don't know. I need you. I'm coming for you, ok, just hang on. I want you to focus on finding a way out, ok? Kel? Kel? Damn. Which way do I go? On foot, are you crazy? You're like four miles out. Just humor me. See those buildings? Head for them. Claudette Irving. Ophelia larue. Colin Jones. They're not real. - 911 emergency. - My fiance is in the lower bay train station. I think she's stuck. - Is she locked in, sir? - I don't know. - Is your fiance's name Kelly Johansson? -Yes, yes, it is. -Apparently she called in a false lead earlier. Sir, need I remind you that misleading an officer of the law is a crime? What? - Hello-- - fuck. - Sir, are you there? - Fuck. Who's there? Are you afraid, Kelly? You don't need to be. We are here to help each other. Mythology moths represent a spirit not at rest, a lost soul. Kelly! Kel! Kelly! Kelly! Oh, thank god. Are you okay? I'm supposed to help her. I'm supposed to help them all. I think that's why i was brought here. Help who? The spirits. Kell, honey, you're not thinking straight. Just wait 'til i get there, okay? I'm close. I'm inside the tunnels. It has to be done. I'm running out of time. Is it somehow connected to Emily? Kell? Yeah, I'm here. I don't know. Maybe. I think so. I didn't realize what day it is. I'm sorry. Do you think I'm imagining this? I'll be there soon. Just wait 'til I get there. Just tell me how to find you. There's an exit sign. It's lit up. I saw it when I came down here. Find that door. Okay. I'll meet you there. Somebody there? Emily? Is that you? Cam? Ethan, she's down here. Who's down there? Emily. I have to do it now. Kell, please. No, look, there's a room. She led me there. She led you there how? I followed her. Kell, please. No, look, I need you to believe me. Okay. Okay. As long as it's not dangerous. I'll be there soon and I'll find you. The sound is the strongest in there. Kell, no. Damn. Kelly? Ah! Take thee to the place where the highest has appointed thee and take your leave. Take thee to the place where the highest has appointed thee and take your leave. Oh, now, take thee to the place where the highest has appointed thee. Kelly? Kelly? I got you. I have to go. I have to save Emily. No, no, no. Kell, stop, it's over. It's not over, she's gonna die in there. Oh, Jewel, please. Emily's gone. Don't make me do this. Listen to me. Emily didn't die. There was no Emily. Kelly? Kelly? Kelly! Oh, no! Oh, my god! She saved me. Yes, she did. She saved you. Hey. The reality is that there are ghosts. They are all around us. Some are there to help guide us. They help us get to the other side. And we help them get there, too. Their sound makes us see whatever we need to see. What is inside our minds. Sometimes life's too much, so we go into something else. Somewhere else. But that other place is very real, and there are others there with us, helping us to let go. Signing off for the last time, Kelly Johansen. So, now what? So, now I look for a new job. Hang on, I gotta think about this. I didn't sign on to marry an unemployed girl. So, now you want me to work? Well, what would Kelly Johansen do without her work? Sad, but true. |
