e okay, he led the way out of the room and back into the kitchen,<br />

where Ethan was perched on a stool.<br />

I was about to ask where Susannah was, since I knew they<br />

had a rule of never leaving an investigator alone, but then her voice<br />

came from one corner. “We just want to ask you some questions.<br />

We want to learn a little about who you are. Is that okay?”<br />

Tucker didn’t say a word, so I figured he was just observing.<br />

I tried <strong>no</strong>t to shine my flashlight in Ethan’s eyes as I scanned the<br />

kitchen. Had anything changed? Had a ghost moved a chair or a<br />

candle or something? Nope, everything looked the same. Gunner<br />

had told me that it didn’t happen all at once. He said the TV shows<br />

were very misleading in that hardly any cases could get that much<br />

information in one night. An investigation was almost never finished<br />

with just one visit. Most of them yielded little, if any, information.<br />

<strong>no</strong> flash went off.<br />

“Is there someone here with us?” Adrian asked. I caught a<br />

voice recorder resting on the ground in front of her in the beam of<br />

my flashlight.<br />

“Are you over by me?” Brad pressed.<br />

We waited in silence, but <strong>no</strong> response came. <strong>The</strong>y asked a<br />

lot more questions, but Brad’s EMF reading didn’t rise again.<br />

Eventually, Tucker an<strong>no</strong>unced, “Alright, the first hour’s up.<br />

I’ll radio the two downstairs and we’ll switch up rooms. You guys<br />

done up here?”<br />

Adrian <strong>no</strong>dded. “We went through most of the bedrooms<br />

before we came in here and didn’t feel anything. We’ll see if<br />
