He gasped, stumbling forward a step, mesmerized and terrified. It was a woman wearing a gown, her hair stringy, unkempt, her face was hollow, shallow, her teeth rotted as she paced the room, mouth twisted in her sneer. The loose gown flapped around her thin legs, her arms like sticks, and the gown smeared with things he didn't want to consider. Revulsion washed over him. She was muttering and pacing, clicking her few teeth, arms waving, fingers like claws.

"Taehyung?" Jungkook asked, terrified as well.

Scared of the unseen.

He watched Tae's breath puff out in visible fog.

"Are you getting this?" Hyunwoo hissed, his EMF reader off the chart, equipment suddenly fuzzy.

Yeonha realizing that maybe she should speak up stepped forward. "A woman is here....young...." she murmured beginning her usual aloofness. No one was paying attention to her. Angry, she moved suddenly, pushing into the room.

"No! Don't!" Tae yelled, reaching to pull Yeonha back as the woman in the dirty gown suddenly turned to him, the side of her head caved in, dried blood running from the crushed skull. She curled her hands, screaming again, making the others jump back, including Yeonha, who glanced around frightened for the first time she could ever remember. Taehyung reached out to pull her back.

The dead woman, rounded on him.

Taehyung suddenly found himself flying through the air, the force of the push, coupled with the rotten walls, sent him right through and into the room beside them. The woman screamed again before turning and running away, the others able to hear scrambled footfalls departing. There was utter silence, Yeonha frozen in stunned horror, eyes wide, staring at the now torn wall.

Jungkook was the first to move quickly, followed by Jin and Namjoon. "TaeTae, oh god, you ok?"

There was a moan, then a weak cough; "Bitch, threw me through a wall." he said winded. Jungkook was beside him, concerned as he helped him to sit up, the man was freezing to the touch. There was suddenly the sound of running feet. 

"Oh my god, did you see that?" the girl, Beom said.

The other's were all trying to talk over each other.

"It freaking lifted him off the ground!"

"Yeonha was nowhere near him."

"He went through the freaking wall."

"I got it all on film."

"The screaming was captured."

Ji-hye and Minseok talked in hushed tones as they hurried to point the camera in Taehyung's face.

"Did you see it?" Hyunwoo asked.

From nearby, Tae looked sourly at them, his face covered in white plaster dust. It was in his hair and clothing, they had all seen him thrown through a wall, yet he said nothing. He ignored them, allowing Jungkook to fuss with him.

"Man Tae, it was like when that crazy woman at Kim Manor, kicked your ass." Jin was watching on his camera, wincing as he replayed Taehyung flying through the air again in slow motion.

"It was a tortured soul, who was seeking release." Yeonha said airily as she came around. "A young, beautiful woman." she continued stepping, between Tae and the camera. Tae, shaking out his hair, snorted at that, a cloud of dust rising. "She was wearing a nurses uniform, maybe she once walked these halls..." she whispered trying to sound dramatic.
