can we help you? we're contracted by the environmental protection agency. we're checking for possible contamination by the proto-kem chemical plant. i haven't heard anything. it happened 15 years ago. it's good you're on top of it. this waste-- what if..? will it have any effect on us? beams on. there is death in the chapel.

piece of crap. okay, where are you? ( strange, unidentified sounds) ( groans ) ( music starts playing again) abducted?

a knockwurst. this beam of light come down. i wake up and it's two in the morning. i think they got me with surgical tools. surgical tools? it happens to be a very common occurrence. you could write a best-seller about this stuff. i don't know how they did it but i think they moved my navel. the space brothers probed your belly button? they moved it. it used to be here and now it's here. why would they?

unless we kn where he'll strike and then just be waiting for him. oh, yuck. the tires, the burn marks, the traffic sign even the gasoline burn pattern. hey, what is this? that girl dori drew it yesterday. we're both thinking the same thing on this. she's the arsonist. she's psychic.

i'm not listening. ioki: come on, she predicted death. we didn't know about the toxic waste. she's two for two. one for two-- no toxic waste. eh! there's been some weird stuff. very weird. very weird. we said that we said that at the same time. at the same time. whoa. whoa. whoa. i'm looking for more pipes. about that, oh, merlin? what do yogot, sally? check down that hole.

( sal crashes to the floor )

the box and clothing suggest a formal burial. the box and clothing i'm sure with a little investigation we can find an explanation. put the floor boards back, sal. i ain't going near that thing. i've opened a curse. how do we investigate a spirit? call shirley maclaine?

the only way to get this arsonist is to be there before him. so we should talk to the girl. no, we have to take night shifts at the school.

( both scream ) hoffs: we would like to speak to the person buried beneath the chapel. are you here?

this all-knowing spirit can commun@ate from the other side psychokinetically move your hands around but he can't answer two lousy questions at once? harry, come on. my arms are killing me. i can do two at a time. shh, concentrate. i got one. are you a spirit from another planet? another planet? get a clue. can the specter in the chapel speak to us? y... a... y... a... ya-- ya means yes. i'm passing some major bricks here. ya... ya... ya... are you swedish? can you spell your name?

what the hell is this? we're communicating with the beyond. the skeleton is named yates. were you murdered? oh, my god. yates... this is fuller. why are my officers acting like a bunch of weenies? yoedscared him off. psst! okay, i know what you're going to say. that thing about the chapel

what you predicted... just forget it. why were you here? the same thing you were. i'm not the one torching this place. leave me alone. penhall: is this a premonition? i'm not a freak. nobody said that. cards on the table. we each have these... oh, god, this... we each have feelings about each other. not in a horny way. senses... suspicions. you sense psychic energy ming from us? you know the guy who's starting these fires. well, not exactly. i don't want to sound like an actress on a talk show but i feel energies-- images, i guess. i don't know what they are. then they happen.

and i know yours. you're cops. what makes you... were not... i won't say nothing. i want you to catch this guy. i need you to. the pictures, the feelings, are so sick. i don't want them, but i have no control. i think i know a way we can help each other. ormal energy. it will help her get in touch. you feeling anything, dori? yeah-- cold. you know there are some places that are more receptive than others to@his kind of phenomenon. like, the pyramids or the bermuda triangle. las vegas, i feel things there.

and i'm pretty sure the guy in the next lane was elvis. did he keep droping the ball on his wind up? no, he used a butter and pastrami sandwich to scratch his stomach a lot. don't encourage him. he doesn't understand. neither, do i. i don't think i want to understand. why not? i don't know, afraid. did you always see things? when i was younger i saw this big man, important-like with a hammer. a week later reagan was shot. he said it was like being hit with a hammer. ever since, i've tried to shut it out. if this thing is your gift why do you want to shut it out? you tell me. why do you question

anyone can by just opening their eyes. ( strange, unidentified sounds) ooh... this is it. they're here. the space brothers are here. hello. hey, land! we mean you no harm. aliens travel six light-years to get a deal on a car stereo. believe it... or not. oh, my god. a blimp.

t me live this down, are you? doug, you're psychic. leave me ane. dori: oh! oh, he's there. it's dark. there's a field. a wooden field, i think. there's lines. a lot of long wooden planks at an angle, like this. bleachers? yes, yeah! on fire. he's there! please. okay.

nts named yates. four perished under mysterious circumstances. mysterious. circumstances. two were a husband and wife murder-suicide. the thirwa was poisoned. but the fourth... oh, man. laurence yates--

escaped om a mental home. his rampage of crime was so heinous that a lynch mob hung him without a trial. his remains are buried... in parts unknown. ( fuller laughing ) you still believe that psychic crap? who doesn't think there's anything out there when he's standing at the edge of the grand canyon. you see aliens piloting blimps to crazy teddy's car stereo. he told you. re i resent what you said. i can be spiritual without hocus-pocus. if this girl sees the arsonist without the help

fine.

i don't care if it's halloween. no more antics in this chapel. no more ouija boards. no tarotards, divining rods, healing crystals. i don't want even to see a marshall brodine card trick. am i understood? no hocus-pocus. ( moaning and gasping and gurgling ) ( gagging ) ( painful yell ) ( painful groan ) i looked that way after a gnarly chili dog.

channelers raise the vibrations of their souls. what for? 75 bucks a shot. to telepathically link-up with other consciousness. ah. he's trying to find yates so we can communicate. sal: yates roams the world in eternal unrest. ( english accent: ) good morrow, being of light. i am zombo, lord of the blue ray my friends what is your quest? ( similar accent: ) we wish to transverse with the being called yates. zombo: thank you. i will grant your request, my dear. ( low-pitched humming ) he's changing consciousness.

( sharp inhaling and exhaling) new entity: greetings. we are the winds of the cosmos. if you wish to cross over to the abyss you must learn to speak in tones. tonal enhancement. put your hands over your aural canals. come to you now! ( yoga-like humming ) tones. ( humming ) ( loud garbled sound ) ( cockney accent: ) i am the yates you seek. the one we've disturbed beneath the chapel? the same.

there is a pain... in this area. the lynching? yes. my neck. is your soul mournful? ( rhythmic garbled sounds ) ( rhythmic garbled sounds ) i don't believe it. neither do i. give the money back, "yates." film narrator: the llama is a domestic animal not known to exist in the wild state.

the inca indian civilization. the llama is primarily a pack animal but is also valuable as a source of food wool, hides, tallow for candles, and dried dung for fuel. when exhausted it will lie down, hiss, spit, kick, and refuse to move. ( clearing throat ) hey, what are we looking for? hanson: that. ( hissing ) ( coughing and choking ) hand me this bag over here, would you? how did you know?

hey, dori. that candle in that bag is his, isn't it? no, it's my lunch. it's my lunch. penhall: we checked all known arsonists in the area and not one of the fingerprints match. we still have a main suspect. who? why pick on her? her drawing made me go to that room. you didn't tell me that. i've had it with this psychic doo-doo. why can't you believe she can predict the future? because there is no future. what's that mean? it hasn't happened yet and i have some say in it. what about how she knew that the candle was in the bag? maybe it's hers. yeah, well...

yes. well, so far we're nowhere and dori was getting some serious vibes off that candle. all right. go to her with a candle, but not the candle. to see if she really is psychic? to get her fingerprints. see if they match. he goes to the school. he's... brown hair. he's sad. he's... i don't know... hurt, sad. like he can't help it. i think he does it because he gets... he feels control over others. is there a name or a place? i want to stop. please, dori, this is very important. scared. he's scared?

where? people, fire... he's there... you're there. ( screams ) what happened? no more. i'm stopping now. what did you see?

it's the lab. oh, how nice. oh. oh, okay. thank you.

it's not her. oh, great. i'm dead. will you stop it? it's not even the right candle. you're probably right. she doesn't know what she's talking about. where are you going? i'm going to go put my things in order. no. the bleachers. a wooden field. remember that night? yeah. maybe i was wrong about the time and not the images. i don't blame you for not believing. even i don't want to. so just don't listen to me.

but i also can't explain your drawings and now this thing about doug. i don't want to take any chances. i think it's tonight. the bleachers. the devil's burning. they must be kids in costume. i saw doug severely burnt. he was@@rapped in a black material like a coat or a cape. ( plays "double shot of my baby's love" ) hey, sal. sal! sal!

no. judy's changing, and, uh... ho! wow. judy, you look great. thanks. i always knew it. ? you're the devil in disguise... ? that's very good. ( as elvis: ) thank you very much. are you talking to me? hanson? "someday a real rain will come and wash away the scum the pimps, the screwheads..." deniro, taxi driver. penhall: good evening.e screwheads..." ( hissing ) ( coughing )

i'm count chocula. you have to change. why? it's a classic outfit. there's going to be about 100 draculas there. no way. you can't wear this. you have to change. what's wrong with you? all right, everybody, listen up. i got some news... you won't want to hear. i thought it might be appropriate. father. my name is father alex. i am a historian for various ministers in this area. a century and a half ago, a house stood near this spot about 40 yards to the west. a protestant minister and his wife lived there.

on may the 14th the house mysteriously burnt down and the minister was killed in his sleep. when the community organized to build a church they saw this minister to be the very seed of their faith. his wife donated the land and suggested that her husband be buried below the chapel to be its spiritual foundation. and the minister's remains apparently were neglected. forgotten. i believe the curse has been lifted. what was the minister's name?

thank you, father. maybe you shouldn't go tonight. again with this thing. it's just that i think... i think this is what she saw you in. you mean like... saw. i've been thinking about what you said before and i think i have say in how the future is written
