[GIFT] Picturesque Paranormal Peruse

Picturesque Paranormal Peruse

It was the holiday season, a thin layer of frost and snow was just barely starting to form outside of the window. Set was resting inside of a cottage he had requested to stay the night in, though unlike most Xeros, right now wasn’t the time to get cozy. Nearby the area, there was a famous haunted house for paranormal enthusiasts to visit and research. It had been rumored paranormal activity in the area would especially spike around the holiday season. Though there had been caution that this location was not for beginners at that time of year, as the activity was known to rattle even the hardiest ghost hunter. Set had made sure to come extra prepared, as an opportunity to make a vlog documenting the area didn’t come around very often. Set had a long day traveling and even getting the place to rest, so he decided it would be a good time to check if everything was functioning as it should. He was starting to get his equipment ready for the next night when some strange noises began to come from the roof.

Thump…
Scritch…
Scratch…

Set was a bit startled by the sudden commotion. Could there really be some activity right now? From as far as he was now? Slowly but surely, the noises continued as Set began to get his equipment ready and start scanning the area for any traces of paranormal activity. He hadn’t even gotten to the main area of activity but already there were traces of activity nearby! With everything set up and the camera beginning to roll, he began to monitor the sensors and started to document and see if it was something actually worth investigating.

Thump… Thump… Thump…
Scritch Scritch Scratch Scratch…

The signals began to pick up and became stronger, and stronger, and yet stronger still. Whatever it was, it was close. And it had no intention of leaving anytime soon. In fact - it kept drawing closer and began to grow louder. More and more of Set’s equipment began to transmit signals as he excitedly yet cautiously continued to monitor the paranormal signal.

Pound! Thwack! Pound!
Rattle…Rattle..Rattle…

All the equipment was transmitting signals now as it began to follow the being and set following close behind. Eventually, the tracker began to beep loudly as Set looked at some pull-down stairs on the roof. It had to be in the attic.
There was no other explanation for it.
Signals weren’t enough, he needed to capture this on camera.

Thump… Thump… Thump… 

Set’s own heart as well as the noises the ghost made were in unison now.
Set needed to get this on tape - he had to.
This was a make or break moment for his career.

One..
Two…
Three!

As he opened the hatch, climbed up a little, and pointed his camera, he began to record the inside of the attic. But by the time he made it all the way up, there was nothing inside the attic. And the equipment settled down to a faint drone. Bummed out at not being able to see what was up there, he began to review the footage. As he looked through the video, he caught glimpses of something… could it be? He puzzlingly kept looking through the footage as the sun began to rise once more.
