Conversations in the Dining Room |

Emma Knytleigh: In an attempt to record the current history of Stoney Grove a number of interviews and conversations will be recorded with some of the people who have connections with the estate. Accordingly the Dining Room has been supplied with hidden microphones and recording equipment to allow the process to take place in as natural a setting as possible. Participants are, of course, aware that conversations are being recorded. Very early the next morning Amy: We cant stay here. Im not going back up there. James, go get our stuff and tell Ann were leaving. James: I dont want to go back up there either. Lets just sit here for a minute. Amy: We cant sit here all night. Who knows, it might come downstairs after us. James: Not all night, didnt say all night. I said "for a minute." In a minute, maybe it will go away. Amy: Like where James? Where exactly do ghosts go when theyve scared the shit out of people? In the movies Ive seen, they keep it up until people clear out. Well, Im ready to go. I dont need to be pushed. James: Easy. Just a minute. Ann: Amy? James? Whats going on? Its past midnight. James: Yeah. Sorry to have woken you. Couldnt sleep. Ann: Is there something I can do? Can I get you another blanket or a drink or something? Amy: What about Dan Akroyd or Bill Murray? Hell, Id take Ernie Hudson at this point. Ann: Who? Amy: I hate to tell you this Ann, but your house is haunted. Ann: What? Amy: We saw it, Ann. He was old and wrinkly and he just appeared in our bedroom. Tell her, James. James: I didnt see anyone old and wrinkly. I saw a lady, a white lady with lots of layers of dress on. She stared right at me. Just stood there, looking. Ann: Have you guys been drinking? Amy: No! Im completely sober. I dont know what James is babbling about, but I saw some translucent old dude coming at me, floating across the room. Im not going back up there. Were leaving. Ann: Hold on, where are you going to go at 2:30 in the morning? Amy: I dont care. Ill go sit in the car. Im not staying. James: How about the Hermitage? Frank seems like a nice guy. Ann: Ive lived here for six months and never seen a ghost, wrinkly or otherwise. I think youre overreacting. Amy: Well, I think youre blind. You didnt know about the pot, you didnt know why Emma was pissed off at Frank. Lets not even get in to the whole Simon thing. For all I know, youve had a whole cemetery full of goblins waltzing through the ballroom. Ann: Hey, dont get bitchy with me. I was only trying to help. Amy: Yeah, yeah. Do you have any friends you could call? Im worried about the baby. Ann: Hes going to think Im nuts, but the only one I could even consider calling at this hour is Chester. Amy: Call him. Call him now. Ann: Okay, okay. Ill be back in a minute. James: How about getting a few things from the room? Okay, no problem. We can come back in the morning. Ann: Hang on. Ill be right back. the tape continues... |
