She could channel the spirits. They spoke to her always. She had been tested and studied since she was a young child and now she was to begin a life of traveling and spirit communication all over the world as part of a research show into the paranormal.

1) He... Was dying... I found him. He believed... he knew we were real... He knew we were good and evil. He knew... Because of her... Because he believed her. Watching her on this tv thing helped him hold on... Now I can help him... Become him because... He is part of me... My lineage. She is reckless... Determined... Strong willed. Beautiful... We... I can help her.

2) Camera man falling for one of the paranormal stars of the show.

They had finally made their way to the second floor and almost instantly the spirits flooded around. One showing her something then another bombarding her with images and words then the monster that wielded the most legends in this ancient chateau stood before her hands around her neck. He was only a spirit but the rage and hate within him even now made it feel like a steel vice around her throat taking air from her. The other spirits fighting to free her and those among the living that know of her gift trying to help her focus and trying to keep her with them as she eventually sank against the wall coughing and gasping.

___________________

Darklake Manor a desolate place with haunting tales of cruelty death murder and monsters. The only monster being to sole owner to ever live in this manor. Lord Jacob Damons. This was the place she was determined to investigate no matter the warnings and other suggestions the show host and execs tossed out to her. And now here they were one day into filming and she had connected with the children said to still haunt their prison home and felt the presence of others including Lord Damon's who she called out as a bully and a coward numerous times after hearing the children speak. Some even speaking through her in an offered posession.
 
Jon is a 35 year old camera man who has been shooting film from his high school days.. Jon had always been the unseen guy for all the movies mostly mid range films with actors past there prim or new faces in town.

Its Monday morning 5am when he should have the day off. He seen it was his agent. Jon picked up the phone with the half asleep tone thinking he would hear about a movie gig in a few months. Today what snapped him full awake was "How would you like to film today for a big show." Jon was fully awake and starting to get his stuff together while saying "be there in 40 mins". He had taken the address and put it in his PDA. Then jumped in a shower quick before getting dressed and head out to the film gig.

When getting on set. He heads to the trunk of his car, and pulls a shoulder mounted camera out. He loves the freedom of working with a shoulder mount camera as he can get all the good shots from most views with no real set up time. He kinda is wondering what show or film he will be shooting for. Jon is glad it will be with a crew that it hot now.

They were flying in some new crew after a couple of camera men had seen or felt too much and quit. It was expected with a show like this. "The World Paranormal" was a series that showcased many different people with medically or somehow scientifically proven gifts. The main star talent was a spirit speaker. Nadia Tyler. She walked around the house and the grounds with one of the other stars. Darklake Manor was going to be paranormally dissected and hopefully literally physically dissected if they could get permission to dig up the grounds and dirt floor basement that was recently discovered walled off from the proper wine cellar and basement.

It didn't take too terribly long for the new crew to arrive. Which was good. Two sound techs and a camera man. The host called over to her.

Nadia ready to start shooting again we have enough people to get any angle we need. Can you please ask those that will listen not to scare this new additions to the crew off.

The guards and servants understand now that the "strange boxes" won't hurt them or me and the children don't understand that they can drain the cameras without meaning too. We should be fine now so that I can get through to them and help them understand he can't control them anymore.

Jon was wearing a blue polo shirt and blue jeans pants with black sneakers. He was about to take a corner to head to the front of the house when he almost ran into Nadia Tyler. He was about a foot from her and stopped in his tracks. His eyes wide and mouth semi open as he watches Nadia walk by.

Jon had seen this tv show. He always thought it was staged with some really good voice overs. He knew this show was hard to get on to as the crew was normally tight. He couldn't belive his luck, he was about to do a dream. Shoot some clips for a big name show. He had a feeling he would be getting to shoot mostly with Nadia as most the stuff went off her. Jon knew today was going to be a wild day. He just had no idea how wild it will be.

When Nadia walked by he went up to the porch looking in his camera lens to see what the lighting views looked like.
 
She sat talking with the "director" even though she could ignore a cut and continue her work cameras would still roll the cut would be solely to let everyone know the station had to cut to commercials during any live episodes.

We will shoot a little during the day and some night footage. I will be going to the second floor tonight. I know the children seem to think I won't be safe if I do I know he is hiding something or someone up there and I will confront him.

I have seen you thrown down stairs into walls and nearly out a window once. Why do you want to go up there at night...

He asked already knowing the answer as he said it in unison with her.

They will all be more active including him.

He tossed up his hands in exasperation and surrender.

Fine but the med team will be present for this got it.

Fine...

She spoke as she seemed distracted walking into the house sounding distant and focused.

Cameras up boys and girls let's do this

He called out following her trying to connect the microphone pack to her back pocket. Finally able to as she paused in front of a painting of a little girl with long dark curls.

She wants to talk... but can't tell me about what... child... use my voice to tell the funny boxes and the host what you wish to say.
 
Jon has a add on mic with a dereliction focused mount. He takes a knee and sits on his foot as he starts to role. Jon in a few feet from Nadia and about a foot from the box. Jon could see the box in the lower part of his view from the camera.

Jon is taking slow and shallow breaths as soft as he can while he sits in front of one of his crushes. Jon is smiling as he knows by tonight he will know the truth of the show. He will also be happy getting to work with Nadia even if she don't know hes alive. The main starts hardly ever notice the guy behind the camera.
 
She slumps a little and the host moves a little closer.

Nadia? No... Hello... Who are you? You can use Nadia's voice to tell us whatever you like.

She giggled a little as if a small child a little shy and soft as she spoke.

She doesn't fear him... That makes him mad.

She looked up at the painting then reached her hand up to her hair.

Her hair is like mine...?

Her face crinkled up as if deep in thought then she staggered a little.

It was the little girl... One of them... She is shy... Scared but still young enough to be mischievous about trying to get around his commands.

She looked around realizing her hand was in her hair and tilted her head slightly.

The other children are more fearful of him... They are close but silent as if they are watching over us.

Her head whipped quickly towards the steps leading to the second floor.

Wait your turn... You will not run us off and you can not stop us from going upstairs. So dismissed coward.
 
Jon was watching with interest. He didn't know what to think. As he looks on he notices Nadia
slumped over. Jon has his back to the stair case so if she wants to move up fast he can pan and stay with her. Jon can hear how shes talking different and really acting like a kid with her mannerisms. Jon had the perfect view as Nadia's body looks up at the painting and extends her hand. Jon noticed when Nadia staggered shes now about a foot from him and a foot from the box.
Jon was impressed as Nadia seamed to ignore him. She don't seam to be putting a act or even take notice of the camra's around her. Jon can see Nadia's actions seam to be her own again. Jon sees her head whipped as she turns and faces the stairs. He got a real good view of her. He can see shes walking for the side of the stairs that he is on. Jon can only hope his leg that is extended for his foreword support is going to be out of the way if she takes the stairs. He knows he should be out of shot unless she heads right to him.


Her head whipped quickly towards the steps leading to the second floor.

Wait your turn... You will not run us off and you can not stop us from going upstairs. So dismissed coward.
 
The host smirked at her words guiding her steps to prevent accidental injury to anyone

I gather we have Lord Damon's attention?

She nodded.

Yes we do and it feels like he has something to hide... but what... or who?
 
Jon had a good view looking up at her from the side. Jon could see he was almost in line with her. Jon could feel her shoe pressing down on his pants leg. He kept his mouth shut and eyes up on her.

With her seaming to look around the room. Shes looking around over him. Jon can feel the room changing. He didnt know how to word it other then heavy.

Jon really needs to focus and keep clam as he films his crush being so close to his shin.
 
The host seemed curious but she turned as if intentionally ignoring a child's temper tantrum.

Let's explore the house some more see who else we can find or what else we can find before speaking with the former caretaker.

None of the spirits had ever seen anyone dismiss him of all people live or dead with such power and not end up dead they all seemed to huddle near whispering to her. Her head turning as if listening to several different people as she walked.

Interesting... Thank you for your information... Can I have a name? Loreena... Lovely name and I suspect... Cook? Very good.
 
Jon panned the camera slowly fallowing her. He raised up to his knee on the leg he was siting on and still using the one in front as a balance. As she walked away he carfully got to his feet. The foot he was sitting on is feeling asleep but he ignores it and keeps on walking. He keeps panned out to see where he is walking and also to try and catch anything that may happen off to the side of her.

Jon focuses on the shooting trying not to think of all the times he dreamed of meeting her,and now he is being paid to fallow her on cam. Its hard for him to keep cool and collected when being around such a force like this beautiful woman.

As she was standing in the hallway seaming to talk to thin air. Jon knew she was talking to a ghost. He taken this time to move ahead of her while filming now from her front. He picked a room a few feet in front of her and to her left. He didnt like the look of the room and had a feeling she would soon go into it. He lowered sitting on his feet in the middle of the room filming out the door frame zoomed in to see her standing and talking in the hall way.

Jon found it hard not to have a script. He needed to go off his gut from what he knew about her.

The daylight shooting progressed with little excitement or noteworthy moments. She smiled looking to the various cameramen and the sound tables.

The children find it funny that so many grown ups play with silly tickling boxes.

One of the sound techs tilted a confused expression.

The energy emitted from the boards and the cameras tickle them as well as strengthen them.

She looked around to the new guy.

There is a very young girl the one from the painting who says my hair is like hers really seems fascinated with you and your camera
 
I look around in shock. She likes me? Or just my camera?

never had a star talk to me while shooting like Nadia just did.

I say "Well I am told I am easy to get along with"
 
I think both. She says you almost look like the son of the man that fixes the horses feet?

She chuckled.

We will call it for now but tonight we go to the second floor and really kiss off the coward bully
 
I am left speachless. My mouth is hanging open with a shocked look on my face.

It takes me a few seconds for me to turn off the camera.

I look around the room and says "Thank you little girl for liking me and my camera." As Jon talked to what looks like empty air he couldn't help feeling a bit silly not knowing if she was in the room even. Jon pulls a battery from a fanny pack he had kept on his hip and swapped out the batteries.

I am glad the shooting is over for now. That I-Max HD camera feels like its a ton when on my shoulder. He gets up holding the camera by his hip as he walks to his car to swap film clips and put them in the protective case.

He couldn't help but wonder about that ghost girl.... He closed the trunk and seen a trailer. He walked over to the wheel area and sat down on the ground. Stretching out to relax till he was needed next. He didn't know who's trailer it was, but he hoped he would be ok and out of the way as he tried to take a nap.

The children now ignored Lord Damon's laws of staying in the house. They are far too interested in the people and their neat toys. And they are all dead after all even if they don't fully realize it or not.

She walked from the production trailer and paranormal equipment hub. Some of the times they were talking to her various mics picked up strange static or "burps". She didn't like all the "paranormal tech" but it did prove her gift right so she tolerated it knowing some fans want all the Hollywood additions over just her gift.

Walking out she looked around wondering where the food tent was since they had to move it out of what one ancient cook demanded was his garden that would not be trampled.
 
Jon was strechted out almost fully on tthe gground. He had his head propped up on the tire. He layed there tryingg not to think about that little ghost girl who seamed to be intrested in him and his camera.

Jon needed to find out so his mind would be clam. He got up and started to walk to find Nadia. As he started to round the corner. He ran into Nadia.

Jon was shocked "Oh my gosh I am so sorry, I was just coming to look for you. Do you have a second?"
 
Of course. You have filmed for an entire day and not run off. Hopefully the night filming won't scare you away. What do you need?

She smiled and glanced down beside him a couple of times with a smile while she listened. Always looking back to him giving him her full attention as best her gift allowed.
 
Well if you wouldn't mind, I would like to hear about how you talk to the ghosts. Like that little girl who you said liked me and my camera. Its the first time I been around someone who is ummm gifted I think they call it.

I doubt I will run off, never left a job yet, and don't plan on blowing this dream job.
 
Just something that I could always do. From a very young age they have sought to find ways to test me and figure it out. Somehow I can hear them.

She shrugged.

She seems determined to follow you around from time to time.

Closing her eyes for a moment.

I think he would like to know why little one?

She tensed a little for a moment apparently not liking the answers. Gritting her teeth as she tried to smile to the child.

Go play with the others sweetie you are safe out here.
 
Jon listened intently and nodded as she told him about her gift. He was kinda shocked by how relaxed she was. Like just anyone could do it. He liked folks who where gifted but whee down to earth. Even if there gift is sports related.

When he hears "She seems determined to follow you around from time to time." He looks around to see if he could see any sign of her.

Jon cocked his head to a side and looked on with wonder when Nadia closed her eyes.When she asked why he nodded as he did want to know why. Jon stayed quite as he could see the tension on Nadia's face. Jon couldn't help but to wonder what she was hearing that distressed her.

Jon smiled hearing Nadia say "Go play with the others sweetie you are safe out here."

Jon had a look of wonder on his face as he waited to find out what just happened.

Jons belly started to grumble. He remembered he didn't get to eat yet today. He knew he always kept some sandwiches in the cooler in the trunk. Well more of a mini frige that one may keep in there office or dorm room. He had one wired into his car for his film with a spare car battery for it as a back up. To keep his film and food good. Last night he had happened to of left 2 subs from subway in his cooler.
 
We have a food tent trailer something around here. They had to move it the cook that passed away in the house allegedly made them move it off where he still saw his garden.

She said papa won't make her fall down again with you around. Or with any of us around but she likes you
 
Is papa a ghost to? I am glad she likes me, I think. I don't know how to take it, never had a ghost like me before *chuckles* If you want, we can walk and talk. I would like to hear more about you.

I have been a fan of you for a while and always wondered what its like personalty for you. Well I know you said you always had the gift, but you know. If you want to share your story with me I mean.
 
I don't know. I don't think she is the child of Lord Damon but the clothing seems to be of a similar time so perhaps one of his associates maybe.

She shrugged.

What is there to tell. I creeped other kids out telling them their houses were haunted or their grandparents or family we're lurking around after they died.
