Chapter 70 - Almost Out

"She kept calling me Marcus," Nathan said to Jenny and Mark.

"Who is Marcu?" Mark asked.

"Don't know but I intend to find out," Nathan said and walked away.

As he left the paranormal crew were gaining consciousness.

"What happened?" Bobby asked when he woke up.

"You guys passed out," Jenny explained.

They all looked at each other with a frown. Ingrid walked out and the rest followed. They went to the corridor where they had their setup.

They went through the footage looking for answers. As they watched the video, there was a lot of noise and a subtle buzzing sound.

"Can you clean it, it is grainy," Ingrid said.

"Wow, you just dropped the camera," Abed complained.

"It's not like I dropped it on purpose," Bobby argued.

"Wait, I think it is still recording," Ingrid said.

"I'm going to get it," Abed said and headed to the basement.

"Who is that?" Ingrid asked as they watched. Bobby leaned in to get a closer look.

"I think it is a foot. One than need a serious spa session," Bobby said.

Ingrid then leaned in to confirm. The feet walked past and a face suddlen covered the whole screen.

The sudden appearance of the face startled them. Ingrid screamed, and soon Jenny and Mark came running.

"What, what happened?" they asked.

Ingrid pointed at the screen and Jenny and Mark walked over. They looked at the screen but there was nothing but static.

"There was someone in the video," Bobby explained.

"Was that what caused you guys to pass out?" Mark asked.

"Don't know but it is still there," Bobby said.

Jenny hugged Ingrid as she was visibly shaken. 

"Abed, he went down there for the camera," Ingrid blurted out.

Mark ran back downstairs to the tunnel to check on him.

"Was that a pump action?" Bobby asked and Jenny nodded.

"What the hell is going on here?" he added.

"You tell us, you guys are the experts," Jenny replied.

"We haven't experienced anything like this before," Ingrid said.

"Ghost should not be able to knock people out," Bobby protested.

"I found it, Marcus Payne. I think he was my great-grandfather," Nathan yelled when he walked into the room.

"What?" he asked when he saw the look on their faces.

"Abed went back into the cave," Jenny explained. She collected a book Nathan was holding.

In it was a family tree, among the names was Marcus Payne.

"How did you find out who he was, you did not even have a surname," Jenny asked.

"I figured the person they were talking about must have owned or lived here at some point," Nathan explained.

"I went through the title of the land and house looking for a Marcus," he added.

"You got lucky. He could have been a help of a family friend," Jenny said.

"There is still a chance I might be wrong," Nathan clarified.

"Now that we know who the ghost is, we should communicate with him," Ingrid suggested.

"Marcus is not one of the ghosts downstairs," Nathan explained.

The lights in the room started to flicker. Mark ran into the room with Abed close by.

"Whatever we are supposed to do lets do it quickly. They are almost out of the tunnel," Mark warned.

"Whatever is keeping them there must be weakening," Nathan mentioned.
