After spending some time outside, I start to feel better and we head inside a different building to start our investigation. Corey holds the ovilus in his hand and straight away we get some activity 'nana' and 'near' come through
"I feel like it's always a little girl"
"Dude look at the goosebumps on my arm" Corey rolls up his sleeve . We walked further forward and see a small entrance and door "oh, you locked us in there"
"Shut up Corey" Elton's eyes widen "I was about to do it to them"
"Seriously Elton?" I raise an eyebrow, Elton smiles evilly at me knowing I'm claustrophobic (any time I hear that word all I can think of is "I'm claustrophobic Darren")
"Well I know your used to me doing that, but Brandon would have been so scared" Elton chuckles as Brandon thanks Corey for mentioning it
"Wait, slower, 40, chief, reveal" Corey reads on the ovilus
"What does that even mean?" I ask confused as we carry on. Brandon finds another small crawl space and he ends up going in there on his own with the spirit box thanks to Elton and the others. Corey and Elton drag over a metal storage unit making them both smile. Elton makes a come with me motion, I frown following him with Corey and Corbin behind me. We end up in the bathroom where we can actually hear Brandon and the spirit box more clearly
"Wait he's actually freaking out" Corey says a little worried, but the worry goes away when Brandon asks another question. We walk back over to the entrance, Brandon is banging to get out, I nervously stand back biting my nails
"Elton you son of a bitch" Brandon says making Elton laugh. The boys move the storage thing and Brandon pops out
"How long do you think you were in there for?" Elton asks
"Err, I don't.."
"2 minutes" Corbin says looking at the time on his phone
"Ok minutes, I can take 2 minutes. We'll round up to 5"

As we continue to walk I start getting a static tingling feeling up my arms, Corey takes my hand and gives it a squeeze
"You know, I just realised Thea and Corey are probably the worst people to date because of how scared they both get" Brandon laughs
"Hey, how often am I scared?" I ask
"Ok erm remember last night with the doll? oh and tonight with the bed full of dolls and teddies" Corbin joins in
"Ok, but out of all of us who is most likely to be willing to go off on their own and talk to ghosts?" I raise an I brow
"Point taken, but you were scared earlier in the circle" Corbin points at me
"There's a difference in being scared and feeling like I'm about to throw up. I was more worried than scared"
"Same thing" Elton laughs
"No not really" I shake my head. While in a room that has a bed and old record player Corey and Brandon hear a hum that the rest of us don't hear. We stand around one of the beds, me in between Elton and Brandon, straight away hear a knock, I sigh
"Tell me that was you" Elton points to me
"What? the breathing?"
"Yeah"
"Yeah that was me"
"Ok stop breathing" Elton jokes earning an eye roll from me. Elton turns on the spirit box
"Did you die when you were 40?" Corey asks
'Officially'
'Investigate'
'Control' Corey and I look up at each other looking rather confused. Elton puts down some dowsing rods
"Do you know what these are?" suddenly multiple voices come through, some male, some female
'Nice'
'Close it'
'Big difference'
'Use it'
'Love it'
'How you feeling?'
"Can you say dowsing rods?" Corey asks
'Going down'
'Get out'
Elton turns off the spirit box and Corey holds up the rods
"If you are a good spirit can you make these rods cross on top of each other, if you are an evil spirit can you make them cross outwards, thankfully they cross inwards
"I prefer the rods, the spirit box is just a guessing game" Elton says
"It depends, if you're getting intelligent responses I think the spirit box is great, like you can actually have a conversation, but sometimes the words are hard to make out" I say and the boys all nod agreeing with me
"Do you want them to leave and it just be me and you talking?" Corey asks and immediately the rods cross inwards
"I'll stay though, I don't think we should be on our own in here, just incase one of us gets hurt" I say
"No, Corey needs to conquer his fear, just like you are tomorrow"
"What?"
"Bye, see you later" Elton starts to walk off
"It's ok, I'll see you in like 5 minuets" Corey smiles.

"Do you think he will last?" Corbin asks. The boys all sat on a chair while I'm stood up
"I think he will. Think he will feel proud of himself"
"What did you mean by I'll be conquering my fear? I have already been around dolls"
"I'm not talking about that fear"
"No Elton" I shake my head
"Guys!" we all hear Corey, and we run over to him "the rods started spinning and there were noises that came from over there. Dude I can handle the rods, but I can' t handle these fucking creaks and things"
"I'm really cold right now" I say shivering "I'm tired though so it's probably that"
"I think we need to find more reliable ways of communicating. Something better before we continue investigating. We need to do a serious amount of research on different things we could use"
"Sometimes I think the best evidence we get is when we are sitting down quite asking questions and listening out for knocks, like what we did at the queen Mary" I say as Elton puts things away in his bag. Thankfully it's time to leave this place. Elton ends the video and we get into his car
"Turn that heating on" I sigh putting my seatbelt on
"So Thea, are you ready to conquer your fear of small spaces"
"I'm not doing it Elton. I can kinda cope around dolls as long as I'm not alone, but small spaces no thats where I draw the line" I shake my head
"Ok I'll make you a deal, if you try, then I will take you to your choice of restaurant, you can chose anything of the menu and on top of that I will let you do my make up, dress me up in anything you want and pay for your meal there"
"We will see" I say cuddling into Corey who starts stroking my hair.
