My Name is Allie Meier, and I'm here at the 7 Gates of Hell in the back woods of Collinsville.
These allegedly haunted gates are the site of historic lynchings, car accidents, and
suicides that have earned them quite the bloody reputation.
The gate behind me, Acid Bridge, is the site of many recent car crashes and deaths that
have attracted attention to the legend. Local authorities in Collinsville are considering
tearing down these bridges to discourage the late night joy rides that have claimed several
teen lives this past year alone. However, no local businesses will accept the
project. Perhaps the thing the ghosts that supposedly
lurk here would attest to is the fact that these roads are very dangerous and it is not
worth any more teen lives to leave them standing. This is Allie Meier, reporting for C-News,
Channel 2. Back to you, Kyle. And...Cut.
That was good. Uh-huh.
Maybe next time I'll get a prime report if someone doesn't lose the FOOTAGE.
Hey, it's not my fault the weekend team lost the film.
Whatever, excuses! Whatever...
No, you know what? C'mere. There was no excuse for that. Take your job
seriously. I mean, it takes a lot of work to do this,
and if I want to get anywhere, you guys gotta back me up.
and if YOU want to get anywhere, you guys gotta back me up.
You know why? Because I'm the team leader, and I make sure
people get their stuff done. We're a team, we gotta work together as a
team, and you guys gotta start listening to me,
because you guys don't know what you're doing. I don't know what to say, alright? It's not
my fault. YOU dropped the ball.
This time it went okay because I was babysitting you guys.
So next time, know your stuff. I think we all know our stuff-
Listen, Rosemarie Berns, if you ever want to graduate from being an assistant and get
a real spot, you need to listen and you need to learn how to listen quietly.
Fine. Let's just go. Whatever.
Ugh! (Throws Cup) Are you kidding me?
What!?! You can't just litter!
Really? This is sacred ground!
No- There's a GRAVE over there!
No! This place is a dump. Are you serious???
Yeah. Have you not heard of the legend?
Really? You believe that crap? Of course I do, don't you?
No... Well, you'd better pick that up or you're
going to regret it. Oh REALLY?
Yeah, you are. What, some ghost's gonna get me?
You say that now, but you're gonna regret it...
Alright guys, let's pack up.
What do you need, Alex?
You got a status update for me? There's something wrong with the footage...
Are you for real? Show me.
Watch this. (Shows video from earlier)
See? Did you see that? SERIOUSLY, Alex?
You wasted my time on this? Do you know WHAT reporters do?
They REPORT. There are kids in the background ALWAYS messing
it up. You need to edit it out.
Don't waste my time with this stuff anymore, I have THINGS to do.
(Door slam.)
(Door squeaks open)
(Running Water)
(Yawns)
(Sets empty coffee cup down noisily)
(Coffee splashes into cup noisily.)
(Microwave running) (Microwave beeps)
(Sudden loud thud)
(Stairs creak)
(Loud ***; Objects are flung around as an unseen creature screams)
(Flying pictures make flapping noises)
(Flickering lights make buzzing noise) (Wrenches door open with a loud squeak)
Are you just not going to do the homework? I don't care about homework to be honest.
I wait til the last second. That's the way to go.
Mm-hm. Sure is. So what do you think about what happened yesterday?
I think Allie was disrespectful and it's gonna come bite her in the ***.
Do you really think that the ghost is going to go after Allie?
I mean, she- she did kick it, and spit on it- the gate-
Do you think it'll come after us too? I woke up on the ground this morning, like,
not in my bed... I mean, I don't think the ghost should come
after us because we didn't do anything to *** it off
and you probably just fell off your bed in the middle of the night.
It's nothing to worry about.
(Bursts into room) You Guys!!!!!!
What happened to you? I spent the night in my CAR.
Why? Something was IN my house!
After we filmed yesterday. Are you kidding me?
No! Don't you believe me?
I mean, nothing's been going on with me, I don't see what's the big deal.
(Sighs) I can't spend another night in my car.
Seriously, like, something was wrong. It wasn't human.
Well, what do you expect us to do? Come with me to help me figure it out!
You're Mr. I-Know-What-The-Ghost-Is, you know, Mr. Be-Respectful-
Well, you know what to do OBVIOUSLY! I mean, I don't see how that will help out
the situation. Isn't it your fault?
Well what am I supposed to do? (calmly) Maybe we should go. Something might
happen... Well, I was trying to tell her that the other
day, that she shouldn't be doing that, ...C'mon, please come help me, I don't know
what to do... (pleading) Fine, I guess we can go. (apathetic)
So, where are we gonna go now? That way. (Points to her right.)
(Rose exhales in frustration.)
You know what? I don't even know why we listen to you.
Because I'm in charge?
So? You're a complete JERK to us all of the time.
Are you serious? You know what, I've been doing my JOB.
You don't do that much to step up and do anything! That's COMPLETELY untrue.
We work our BUTTS OFF to do whatever you say.
I mean, seriously, why are you getting all high and mighty?
I'm sorry, I was appointed team leader for a reason, NOT YOU.
Because there is NO REASON for me to be here
ghost hunting! This isn't part of my job description! It was when you were appointed under ME.
This has NOTHING to do with reporting! That's what I want to do, is be a good reporter,
not somebody that brings you coffee! (Aggressively) You know what? You're a terrible
reporter. The only reason our stuff gets aired is because
WE pick up the slack. I could do a better job than you on ANY day
of the week!
(Loud smack)
Whoa, whoa, whoa, that's enough... Let's go, let's go.
You know what? Who needs you! I'LL figure it out!!!!!
Let's go... Forget about you!
Good luck without me!
(Freakish loud rumbling, paranormal)
Ugh! (Freakish loud rumbling, paranormal)
(Leaves crunching) (Low, ominous music plays)
(Crunching leaves stops after Allie stops)
(ZOOM noise)
Ah! (Leaves crunch)
Stop! No, no, please, please I'm sorry!
I didn't MEAN to! (Gasping)
(Violent snap)
(Leaves crunching)
(Music Plays: "Tiptoe through the Tulips")
There have been no new leads as to the person
or persons unknown in the kidnapping and *** of Allie Meier.
The police are hoping that a thorough search of the area will shed some light as to what
happened. The chances of that are slim, however, considering
the strange and unnerving history of the seven bridges,
better known as the 7 Gates of Hell. This is Rose Berns, reporting for C-News,
Channel 2. Back to you, Kyle.
(Trunk pops) So how was that?
I mean, it was okay, but... Are you really going to air this?
Well, yeah... I mean, I think we should just leave this
story alone. But, it's the story of a lifetime...
She would've done the exact same thing...(nonchalant) (Music plays)
