Season Two Trailer – Talking to Humans
SFX: A ghostly soundscape of crows cawing, cicadas and frogs singing fades in…
NARRATOR
If things had gone according to plan, Eulalie would never have heard from us again. One haunting is quite enough for a lifetime; more than that and the living tend to get morbid. Hang about in graveyards. Hold seances. Wear out Ouija boards. Not that there’s anything wrong with those things. It’s just… You know that thing modern teenagers do? What’s it called… Prank calling? Well, humans who’ve been haunted too many times have a tendency toward supernatural prank calling. They don’t intend it that way. But when you’re a ghost getting a barrage of angsty questions from someone you’ve never met, it does start to feel like some sort of terrible, exhausting joke.
Of course, things did not go according to plan. They so rarely do, unfortunately. Even in the afterlife.
SFX: The ghostly soundscape fades out with a crash of thunder…
SFX: Hotel room tone; a fan in the background.
EULALIE
Um, excuse me?
SFX: Ghostly rustling. Eerie music with the chiming of bells.
EULALIE
Hello? I just need to get by…
SFX: Ghost hisses and groans.
EULALIE
(shrieks and gasps)
(talking to herself)
What did I do to deserve all of these ghosts? At least with Frankie there was a specific cause. But I haven’t been to any thrift shops. I haven’t tinkered with any antiques.
(sighs)
And yet. Ghosts. Everywhere I turn.
SFX: Ghost hisses again.
EULALIE
(losing it)
Oh, that’s the way it’s going to be?! DON’T MAKE ME GET THE ROSEMARY!

This isn’t a rodeo, Josie.
