Sunshine's at the library. She's hopeful to find something that will help her on her mission — what better place to look?

She picks out a few supernatural books, a spell book, and a haunted places encyclopedia. These will aid her investigation, she can feel it.

Well. She hopes so.



Is it possible that Sunshine has a playful entity in her household?

After that whole horrifying night with the doors, she's not so sure that's even possible. But today's experience after the library completely knocks the wind out of her. She's not scared, really — she's... relieved. Perhaps the doors had been, in a sense, playful? And things always died down when the ghost(s) realized it wasn't funny?

Maybe Sunshine is just trying to convince herself, but it seems like a plausible explanation. Of course, there are more than likely several spirits in her house, so it's doubtful that only one is messing with her.

Damn.

To add to her theory — on her desk, Sunshine has a small unicorn toy by her prized typewriter. Every time she leaves the room and returns, the unicorn is moved to another part of the desk.

Crazy, right?

Though it does always seem to end up right on the typewriter..

Oh well. Just coincidence.



Sunshine wants to do a fun video. Something relaxing and — well, generally not as stressful as her ghost captures.

So, she turns the camera on and decides to go for it. "Hello," she greets casually, looking around her room as she stands. It's sunny again — she's hoping winter will turn over soon enough. "So." She taps her typewriter keys and squints at the screen. "I am going to — sorry nervous habit — I am going to talk about.. me today in this post; ten random facts about myself that you guys get to know because.. you're special!"

She points at the camera. "So, ten facts. Number one, I am an only child. Number two, I like Jane Austin. A lot. Pride and Prejudice? Favorite book, favorite movie. It's good — the newer version."

Sunshine lifts her fingers. "Number three, narwhals. Come on, they're awesome. They're so cool. Narwhals. Just... leave it at that. Number four, my favorite band is Vampire Weekend."

She mouths 'They're awesome' and gives a thumbs up. "Number five, I screen-print my own t-shirts. Not all of them, but some of them." She dips the camera to show her shirt. "This is my owl one. You can't really — ah, my hair, blah blah — if you can't see it, it's an owl." The shape of the bird is golden tinged along a bright purple shirt. "He's really, really cute. I love owls. It seems to be a lot of what I wear."

She pulls the camera back up and ponders. "Anyways, number six — I like old stuff. A lot. Clearly, according to my room." Sunshine messes with her typewriter's keys. "My typewriter, and ma' books, and my stuff that's all... old. So, yeah, clearly."

Sunshine nods. "Mm. Number seven, which I can't hold up that many fingers — photography. I'm obsessed. I love it... a lot. Black and white photography is especially cool." She breathes. "Hmm, number eight, I drink vitamin water addictively. I love it. It's so good. It might not be a bad thing that I drink so much vitamin water, but man. Love it. It's the best drink, ever."

She nods vigorously and continues. "Number nine, I do not speak a foreign language at all. Never. Mm-mm. But I do like to talk in a British accent." She tries to mimic the words. "It's rather fun. And I'm a little embarrassed I did that, anyways, aaand number ten — I don't have any friends here. Yet. Cause I'm not a typical teenager. So... I don't have any friends.."

Sunshine looks a little dejected. "Anyways."



So, she's just found out that children ghosts exist. It hadn't even occurred to her before her research. Of course it makes sense, and now she's thinking that the playful entity in her room might be a kid. I mean, if it's not a demon attempting to trick her or something.

She talks to the camera about it, too. "It didn't even occur to me that there would be... child-like... ghosts.. I don't know. I just like, thought there were adults and then it just." She slices her hand down. "Stopped there. I don't know. I didn't think it through I guess." She shrugs, nonchalant. "Made sense to me... at the time —"

Sunshine's bedspread moves and she jerks her head to the side, eyes widening. "Holy crap." The whole sheet is pulled off. Somehow, she isn't fazed at all. "I hate things. You guys saw that. There's nothing here, though." She picks up the sheets. "I don't like this. I don't like when they do this to me. Geez."



Sunshine and her mother visit an old fort during the gloomy weekend, attempting to brighten up their lives with a little field trip. Of course, something weird has to happen.

She's pretty sure she's caught a figure somewhere in there.



Mom's back and she's doing another video.

"So, I got on this YouTubey thing and I noticed there were a lot of comments about the witch lady? Creepy — creepy witch lady, I guess that's what you guys are calling her." She's sitting in the dining room, hair curled with a necklace dangling around her neck.

"You know, the lady who came to the door and has just been.. staring at the house," she continues, nodding. "I just wanted to tell you guys that I did actually call the cops and they came out and talked to us. We were gonna videotape it but we felt like that might be a little bit... inappropriate with the police there." She shrugs and waves her arms. "They looked camera shy so we didn't do that but, um, they just basically said that she didn't break the law, there was nothing that they could really do about it — she wasn't treespassing, she didn't harass, she didn't threaten, she just..."

She sighs. "I was wondering if we could maybe put, like, a restraining order or something out because she just — stands, out there, but they said no because she hadn't done enough for that. They just said to keep an eye on it and call them if she came back. It's kind of a small town, so I think that they're a little bored and would probably be willing to come back by. I think they're gonna do some drive-bys to keep an eye out for her but it's a dead-and street, so.."

Her shoulders slump and she looks around. "We'll have to see, but, anyways, we just wanted to update you on that and tell you that — that I am aware of it, we are keeping an eye on her, I do want Sunshine to be safe, I mean, she is a 16 year old girl so, we are on it."

She finger guns and turns the camera off.



After all the requests asking her to leave the camera on to catch the horse, Sunshine finally decides to use a flip camera to capture the entity.

And — after three wasted batteries — the unicorn moves, swiftly but softly, almost like it's floating on its own. She moves the camera farther back and tries again.

The unicorn does the same thing.

She's really starting to think that there's a child ghost in her room.

i cheated and looked ahead and oh wow get ready
