That uneasy feeling was creeping into the crevices of my<br />

mind again, but I tried to brush it off again.<br />

“If anyone’s in here with us, then hello,” Tucker greeted the<br />

alleged spirit. “I’m Tucker. This is Chelsea. Can you tell us your<br />

name?”<br />

One of the challenges of partnering with him now was the<br />

fact that it was way hard to keep my emotions in check. When my<br />

red beam roved over his face, my heart gave that pleasant little heavy<br />

beat against my ribs. Immediately I took a deep breath to steady<br />

myself. Bad, Chelsea.<br />

Gradually, my uncomfortable feeling subsided with each<br />

question that we asked. <strong>The</strong> voice that Timmy heard didn’t come<br />

snaking from the black corners of the room. We didn’t get any kind<br />

of answer at all.<br />

Eventually, Tucker turned to me. “You want to head into the<br />

bedroom? We’re getting nowhere in here.”<br />

We picked up our equipment and switched to the other room<br />

down the hall. This time I didn’t sit down. I felt on edge again; I just<br />

couldn’t shake the idea that something didn’t seem right about the<br />

whole situation.<br />

so I tried again to convince myself that it was all in my head. <strong>The</strong><br />

to be just because I had been to the preliminary visit.<br />

He took out his own voice recorder and placed it on the floor<br />

beside the camera. <strong>The</strong>n he produced his cell sensor and started to<br />

scan the room with it, giving the introduction as he went. “You<br />

might have heard us in the next room, but I’d like to say hello again.<br />

I’m Tucker, and this is Chelsea. We’d like to ask you some<br />

questions.”<br />

Silence roared in my ears, adding to the general wanting-torun<br />

sensation that was nipping at my heels. No matter how I tried to<br />

argue the emotion with logic, it was not going away. I turned so my<br />

back was against the wall and I could clearly see the rest of the room,<br />

as long as I had the flashlight on.<br />
