"So your maid came in and after you drank your tea you some how died?" Phil asked
Dan nodded slowly
"The only way I can be set free is if someone helps me figure out who killed me"
"Wasn't it your maid, I think what happened is that you were poisoned"Phil said
"Since I'm still here, it wasn't the maid, Mary was my friend and was close to me and my family, I've know her ever since we were kids, she'd never want to hurt me" Dan said a little scared and shocked at the idea of Mary killing him, which thank god she didn't.
"I guess I can help you figure out who killed you" Phil said smiling
Dan looked at his new friend with hope and determination in his eyes
"You will that's fantastic, thank you so much"
Phil sat down on the chair next to the windows and pulled out his iPhone
"Ok first question,what year did you die?"
Dan for the first time floated over to Phil and just stared at the thing in his hand.
"What is that your holding, it looks like a tiny rectangle?"
Phil laughed "It's my iPhone"
"Are phone we had was so much bigger, is that a phone from the future?" Dan asked star struck.
Phil nodded "Back to my question what year did you die?"
"It was 1901, I sadly remember it like it was yesterday" Dan sighed loudly
"Oh my gosh that would mean you were born in the 1800's!" Phil exclaimed
Dan smiled
Phil began typing on his phone while Dan floated in awe
"Here, it says here Daniel James Howell son of a wealthy ship builder dies at the age of 25, Mary Libby was arrested the very next day when it was discovered that she had put poison in the young mans tea" Phil read out loud
"Oh no, but it wasn't Mary, if it was I'd all ready be able to leave and go to the other side!" Dan yelled
Dan grabbed Phil's phone and threw it against the wall
"Stupid tiny box, doesn't know what it's talking about!"
Phil panicked, getting up to retrieve his phone to make sure it wasn't broken.
"Dude you need to stop throwing my things!" Phil said annoyed
"Ok first of all I'm Dan not Dude and second how did that thing know about Mary and me?"
"Dan you don't want to know, once you know, you never go back" Phil said thinking about the times the Internet has ruined him.
"Why don't we go and look around the house for some clues?" Phil asked smiling
"That's a good idea"
Dan and Phil walked out of the room to do some sleuthing
