“ Is anyone there ?” I asked , turning on the device . Bursts of static came from the device , but no voices . After a pause , I tried again . “ What is your name ?” Another pause . “ Did you die here ?”
That whole half hour , we got nothing on the ghost box , and no visual evidence either . I set up a night-vision camera to film in case something showed up , but then we left to look elsewhere .
For a while , we wandered down the hallways , listening for voices or odd noises in between the inhale-exhale of our lungs and the scuffs of our sneakers . The whole time , I tried to send out a mental message to the little girl ’ s spirit .
Come out , we want to be your friend . Inhale . Come out , there ’ s no need to be afraid . Exhale . Come out , we only want to help you . Inhale . Come out , we just want to see you . Exhale . We finally heard weeping not far away . I turned my camera to Diesel and Almarie . They had their cameras turned to me , their eyes and hair bleached in my camera ’ s night-vision . Both had the same look of amazement that was on my face .
The weeping continued for two seconds . Then three . Then five . Then ten !
At that point our amazement turned to suspicion , and we made our way to the source of the sound . None of us said a word .
Ghostly weeping this long never happens in ghost hunting . A disembodied voice usually lasts only a couple seconds on
