Video transcript

Imagine knowing the unknown, thinking you knew what you knew and then knew nothing different. Imagine experiencing something that makes you sound mad or makes you feel mad. When the world does a flip and the unreal becomes a solid resounding reality.

Imagine that your ghost stories are actually your memories. Believe what you want to believe, it’s your own world. But when you go places and see things that you thought were just fiction it turns your universe around. Murmured voices, the touch of a cold dead hand or the smell of long gone burning should be enough to make you question your own world.

Go places, feel where you are, think about what you can’t see. Tell your stories, let the listeners reel.

Under secret darkness she stumbled. Crying flies and moaning mumbled. Sense and scenes melding round, the pale girls mind, her brain did pound. Screaming truths did burn the night of cold embraces and whispered fright. Loudly alone she wandered the rooms, how deathly wrong her dawning looms. Knowing there’s more, seeing what’s there. It’s not as simple as mending the tear of a fractured belief of a past so clear as the moment of encountering and shedding a tear.

Imagine knowing the unknown and realising the truth that there’s more. Look around you and there may well be more that what you felt there to be.
