Seeing Mr. MacNeil give a thumbs up, several team members could not contain themselves any longer. The silence they had maintained throughout the journey became unbearable.
One team member with thick eyebrows and a square face could not hold back and asked, “Mr. MacNeil, what's going on here?” Blake replied, “It's nothing. | just think you guys did a good job at finding out this chair is different.” The team members suddenly became excited, exclaiming, “Yes, yes! We've made progress, right?” Blake hesitated for a moment and said, “Well...” Lilly chimed in, “Um...” Well, it could not exactly be considered progress.
They did not believe in ghosts before, but after seeing one, they had trained themselves to believe, even though they had not encountered any ghosts for quite a while.
Now, after coming to Poncook Summit and exploring for a few days, they discovered that the chair was somewhat different. But despite sitting on it for a long time, they had not seen any ghosts.
It was only when they saw Flesh and Bone chasing after them that their views on the world had been shattered.
So when Blake said, “Well done” and “You found this chair,” it felt like being praised by a teacher as an elementary school student.
Damian asked, “Mr. MacNeil, is this chair meant for ghosts?” Lucas added, “Mr. MacNeil, can you sense the presence of ghosts?” Colton looked at Blake intently.
Josh interrupted and asked, “Do you wanna see what all of you have been sitting on?” Suddenly, Blake turned to Josh and asked, “By the way, where’s your camera?” Josh handed the camera to Blake inexplicably, saying, “It's here, what is it, Uncle Blake?” Thinking that his uncle was concerned about the live broadcast, Blake reassured him, “Don’t worry, | cut off the live stream halfway.” Blake took the camera and passed it to Colton, saying, “Alright, you guys sit on the chair again. After sitting down, take pictures of your surroundings with this camera.” “Colton will be the first.” Blake smiled mischievously, his intentions seemingly malicious.
Colton glanced down at Lilly and asked, “Is it safe to sit on the chair? Is there something wrong with it?” Lilly shook her head and replied, “There shouldn’t be any issues... just be prepared in case you see a ghost and get frightened.” Colton took the camera, feeling confident that there was nothing to be scared of.
After all, they had come here for training.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIvan silently watched his father enter the house, hesitating to speak.
After a fierce struggle internally, he chose to remain silent and observe quietly.
Colton sat down on the chair and turned on the camera.
The camera's screen looked no different from any regular camera, displaying vibrant colors and high-resolution pixels.
As he held the camera, his hands trembled slightly, and that was when he noticed an old woman sitting on the stone steps by the door! The old woman was dressed in gray and stared at him expressionlessly.
Colton secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that it was nothing to worry about.
However, when he glanced back at the camera in his hands, he was taken aback.
How is this camera able to capture that? Is there someone in this world capable of such technology? Blake smirked and said, “Keep going, move it back and forth, left and right, up and down.” As Colton continued to perceive the subtle temperature changes, he followed Blake's instructions and moved the camera up and down, left and right, capturing his surroundings.
To his relief, there was nothing unusual in the camera's view. No ghostly figures or hideous faces appeared on the screen.
Feeling more at ease, he decided to move the camera upward.
But at that moment, Colton’s eyes widened in shock.
On the camera's display, a pair of embroidered shoes suddenly appeared, hanging right in front of his face. A woman was hanging from the beam, her head bowed, her eyes open, and staring directly at him.
As the wind blew, the female ghost swayed with it, and her feet swung towards Colton’s face...
Colton finally experienced what Blake described—the slight change in temperature.
His face turned cold, and his mind was filled with a deafening buzz. This moment would forever be etched in his memory.
In a rush, Colton stood up, quickly exited the room, and approached Lilly.
He positioned himself a few steps away from her.
Ivan watched in surprise, not quite understanding the situation, while the other team members looked on with confusion.
Damian asked cautiously, “Mr. Shaw, what's wrong?” Lucas added, “Did you feel it?” Colton calmly handed the camera to Damian, his expression still composed. He replied, “I felt it. Now it's your turn.” Damian's excitement grew. They were finally going to experience it too.
But he wondered why they needed the camera.
Cautioning himself, he asked, “Mr. Shaw, what did you see in the camera?” Colton, with his hands behind his back, calmly replied, “Go and see for yourself. Don’t ask me. Do you want me to fight your battles for you?” The team members fell into a momentary silence, contemplating the situation. They realized that it was just a camera, nothing more.
Recalling the various methods and superstitions they had heard before—like walking with a black umbrella at night or looking behind from the crotch—they had taken plenty of pictures with their mobile phones, but nothing had ever happened.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmDamian took the initiative and entered the room, sitting on the chair. As he fiddled with the camera, he mumbled to himself, “Why did he turn off the camera...” With a beep, the camera turned on, and Damian held it up with a smile, saying, “Here we go!” The direction they were facing while sitting on the chairs was towards the outside, and the camera’s lens was also pointing outward. But when Damian looked at the camera, he was immediately terrified.
He saw a grim old woman on the stone steps! His hands trembled, and he quickly raised his head to look outside, but there was nothing there. When he looked back at the camera...the old woman had somehow appeared on the screen! “Ah!” Damian jumped out of the chair in fright.
Blake's voice came coldly, “Is that how brave you are? Mr. Shaw saw it too, and he didn’t even flinch.” Colton, who had been singled out to deceive the others, felt a bit awkward.
Damian's face turned pale as he stammered, “She...she suddenly appeared in front of me!” Being taken aback when he lowered his head and raised it again, only to find the old woman right in front of him...
Who wouldn't be afraid? Lilly beckoned, “Stay put, old lady!” The old woman was silent.
Seeing Damian frightened like a startled dog, the other team members could not help but burst into laughter.
Lucas spoke up, “I'll give it a try! So what if there's an old lady at the door? Come on, what's there to be scared of?” Damian emphasized, “She appeared suddenly!” Other team members were skeptical about it The team members knew that they were mentally prepared as they watched several horror movies before coming to this place.
They understood the typical patterns and routines in such movies.
One team member, Lucas, expressed his confidence and announced that he would set an example for the others, “Watch and learn!” He confidently walked into the room, sat on the chair, and turned on the camera while playfully repeating, “Why did you turn it off? To save power?” He raised the camera and pointed it toward the outside of the door. And just as expected, there was an old woman there! Thanks to his preparation, Lucas remained calm and even greeted the old lady, saying, “Hello, old lady.” However, as he looked at the top of his head, he noticed something amiss with his hair. Perplexed, he raised the camera to get a better look, and what he saw made his legs go weak with fear. His face turned pale, and he quickly stood up and rushed out of the room.
The two remaining team members asked in confusion, “What happened? Is there a ghost above you?” Lucas’ lips trembled as he replied, “No, there's nothing... You can find out for yourselves.” Both Lucas and Colton had experienced something similar, where everything seemed fine until the camera turned to the top, indicating that there must be a ghost on the roof as well.
Now armed with this knowledge, the team members felt more confident and determined not to be scared like dogs anymore.
They were ready to face whatever came their way.
