Spooky Week 2018

Spirits In The Night

Summary:  Phil decides to film a Halloween video with PJ and Sophie and an abandon hunted house and Dan is less than keen on going.

Rated: E (but it is pretty spooky)

"Come on Dan it's going to be fun!" Phil whined.

"Phil I told you that I didn't want to go," he sighed.

"But you have to go it's Halloween!" he pleaded. "Pj and Sophie will be there," he added hoping it would get Dan to change his mind.

"Phi-"

"Plus you promised the fan's a video. And it won't be much of a video without you," he reminded him.

Dan rolled his eyes, "Fiiine I'll go, we'll do it."

"Yes!" Phil grinned pumping his fist in the air in victory.

Turning to Phil, "What time do we have to meet them there again?"

Phil glanced down at his phone, "Shit we probably should have left already."

"Really Phil?" he exclaimed as he frantically tried shoving his shoes on his feet.

"Well if somebody hadn't of waited to the last minute to decide they were going it wouldn't have been a probl-."

Dan turned around and glared at him.

Not wanting to fight, Phil held his hands up in the air in defeat.

The house planned to "ghost hunt" was a fairly known place. For years there had been rumors of the awful things that had happened there. One of the main stories was that there was a family living there in the 60's and one night the father had murdered the entire family including the family dog. The other main story people liked to tell about this place was that back in the 1900's the place used to be a small mental hospital where the doctors performed unspeakable experiments and acts of torture on the patients that had resulted in several deaths. Of course, no one knew if either of these stories were true or not but that hasn't stopped people from sneaking into the house over the years trying to see if the ghosts were real.

And since the house was out in the middle of nowhere they had to rent a car instead of taking a cab. Because when Phil had called to set this all up the cab company outright refused to take them since it was so far out of town.

They have never been known for their punctuality but this was ridiculous, Dan thought as they drove in silence. They had promised a video with PJ and Sophie to the fans and he hoped they hadn't left or started without them.

Dan fidgeted in the passenger's seat of the rented car, too nervous to sit still. "Who's idea was it to film a video in an abandoned haunted house again?"

Phil glanced at him out of the corner of his eye, "Hey you ok?" Dan nodded his head. "Are you sure? We don't have to do this." Concern showed on his face. "The fans will understand."

"No, I'm fine. Besides, they'll never let us live this down if we don't do it," he chuckled, giving Phil a shaky smile. Phil reached over and placed one of his hands on Dan's leg. Dan let out a little sigh of relief just feeling Phil's hand made him feel safe and comforted.

They pulled up to the big iron gates that sat a few hundred feet from the house. When Phil had talked to the owner of the property they had told him that they would have to walk up to the house from there. He had explained if he left the gate open it tended to draw in people who just wanted to come in and squat in it or vandalize the house.

Seeing PJ's car still there made Phil sigh in relief knowing they were still there he just hoped they hadn't started without them. Phil took ahold of Dan's hand and they started walking up the dark winding path that leads up the house. The path was small and overrun with bushes and shrubs making it almost impossible to see.
