Radio, Advertiser: Do you have life insurance? Call now at- (skips channel)

Radio, Scientist: And with the upcoming eclipse, we'll have- (skips channel)

Radio, News Reporter: Something strange that is definitely in your neighborhood. Recent reports have claimed that there are bizarre fluctulations in electricity within the lower subrubian areas of Bellwood. If you are going out tonight, just watch out for any live wires or random sparking from fuseboxes. Chad?

Radio, Chad/News Reporter 2: Yes, well speaking of going out tonight. It's Halloween isn't it, Sharon?

Radio, Sharon/News Reporter: Yes that's right, Chad. Plenty of trick or treaters this time of the year, wouldn't you say?

Radio, Chad: There are indeed. Hopefully these uh- fluctulations, you said, won't cut a night of candy getting short.

Radio, Sharon: But in other news, well known superhero, Ben Tennyson, has yet again stopped another alien attack in the city. Apparently, the alien criminal, Vulkanus, was caught stealing the new collection of jewelry from the local Watchmaker's Shop which was embedded with a new substance known as Taydenite. The Plumbers have apprehended the criminal and Ben 10 is currently in the city, accessing the situation with the Taydenite.

The radio then cuts off. A woman walks up to the radio and hits the side with her hand. The doorbell then chimes and she walks over to the door. The woman opens the door, revealing three costumed kids in the doorway, holding bags and pumpkin-shaped baskets. One of the kids is dressed as a ghost, the other a race car driver and the third is a pirate.

Kids: Trick or Treat!

Woman: Aw well that's just sweet.

The woman reaches down, grabs a handful of candy from a plastic cauldron by the door and gives them out evenly between the three kids.

Kids: Thank you.

As the kids start to leave, another kid runs to the door from within the house. He's dressed in a green shirt with brown pants, holding a pillow case and a Omnitrix replica.

Woman: Where's your costume, Jimmy?

Jimmy: Mom, this is my costume, remember?

Jimmy's Mother: Oh right. Sorry, dear. Just be safe out there, okay?

Jimmy: Yes, Mom. Now I've gotta go or else all the candy is gonna get taken.

Jimmy runs out of the door. Jimmy's Mother shakes her head and closes the door. The scene then shows Jimmy's apartment building in the distance and other children walking around the streets in costumes. The fall leaves are already covering the sidewalks with the barely covered trees showing their dark scratchy branches. Jimmy runs down the pavement, excited to get as many treats as possible. As he approaches a house, a street lamp, lighting up the area, suddenly blinks out, leaving the street in sudden darkness. Jimmy stops, examines the street lamp and looks around. There's a house next to him. A big house surrounded by a fence with its gates closed, locked with about three locks on a rusty old chain. The gates then start to rattle with the wind and Jimmy, getting a little worried, decides to get away from the area, leaving the house alone, for now.

Male Teenager, kneeling down: We really shouldn't be doing this.

Female Teenager, climbing up on the first guy: Relax, we're not doing anything wrong.

Male Teenager, kneeling down: No we're just tresspassing on private property.

Female Teenager, gripping onto the fence: People will understand. It's for a report for the university.

Male Teenager: You want to investigate the energy fluctuations in the area. I don't think the university will cover for you.

Female Teenager: Whatever just hold still, will ya?

The female teenager then manages to get over the fence and land on a small pile of leaves, without falling over. The male teenager gets up and wipes the back of his jacket.

Male Teenager: You didn't step in anything, did you? I just got this jacket.

Female Teenager: If you wanted the jacket clean, you should have just taken it off.

Male Teenager: What? And get my favorite shirt dirty? Can you just rope me already?

Female Teenager: "Rope me" Heh.

Male Teeanger: You know what I mean.

The female teenager discards some rope that she had on her and ties it to a nearby tree. She then throws the other end over the fence. The male teenager grabs it and starts to climb over the fence. The female teenager turns around and looks at the house, giving off a cold feeling in its abandonned appearance. The windows are dark. There are leaves all over the yard and trees surrounding the house at its sides.

The view isn't very clear, it's blurred. Probably from how dirty the glass is but the outside world can still be seen. She's wearing a red sweater and blue jeans with brown boots. She's crossing her arms, looking at the house. Examining it. Now she's looking here, right here. In the attic.

A hand falls on her shoulder. Alarmed, the girl turns around and sees the male teenager behind her.

Male Teenager: Whoa, whoa. It's me, Alison.

Alison clams down and looks at the male teenager.

Alison: Dang it, Henry. (sighs) We should probably get inside. Did you bring the camera?

Henry: Did I bring the camera, she asks. (pulls out camcorder from jacket pocket)

Alison turns back to the house and approaches the main door, she looks up at the attic window, seeing nothing in sight.

She's looking at the window again. She sees something. Here. In the attic.

The door creaks open, loudly. Like old wood screaming from being pressed beyond its limits. The moonlight beams into the dark interior of the house from the doorway as the door completes its swing. Alison steps inside, looking around, followed by Henry. She removes a small device from her hand bag and examines it. It appears to be some sort of a scanner, a detector with red needle picking up some type of reading.

Alison: The energy signatures are definitely coming from this house.

Henry: It's kinda dark in here...

Alison: Well this house has been abandonned for quite some time. I don't even think it's on the market anymore.

Slam! The sound echoes throughout the house. Alison and Henry turn and look at the door which is now closed shut.

Alison: Did you close the door?

Henry: No. Maybe it's haunted. (chuckles)

Alison: Don't say things like that.

Henry: Relax, Al, alright? Let's just find the source of these fluctuations and call it a night.

Alison: Right. I'll check the attic, you'll take the basement?

Henry: Sounds like a plan.

Alison and Henry then split up, going their seperate ways. Alison moves upstairs, each step on the stairs resulting in a creaking noise. When she gets there, she sees a small space with boxes, cobwebs and the dirty attic window. She moves towards the window and notices a phone on the wall.
