• They start to take pictures and mess around. Flash is on the camera because it’s dark.
• They then walk home down a gravel path, one friend walking behind, more drunk than the others.
• They come across a farmhouse where they look around and take pictures. They’re fascinated.
• Walk into an open street. Fade out.
• Two of the friends wake up and ask what happened. Find the night funny at this point.
• They look at pictures on their phone taken on the walk home, and see a ghostly figure. They’re very creeped out.
