Directed by: CRCR Director website: http://www.quad.fr/directors/crcr/ Produced by: SONLAN TRAN  Production Company: QUAD Animated by: CRCR Ghosst(s) is the demonstration of the passage from life to death, from a presence to an absence. Various stages are linked together and constituted the transformation of an alive body into an abstract entity.

From 2009-2011, I worked at an ambulance company as an EMT. We had a large yet shitty station in an industrial district, sharing a building with a cabinet maker, and sharing a dead end street with a bunch of probable chop-shops. The story behind the station was that the building had been bought for an extremely cheap price and the station built in it. I can believe that. The reason? The last owner had hung himself and now haunted the building. I wasn't sure about that part.

Figuring that was just something they told the newbies, I was skeptical. Still, I was kinda creeped out to go upstairs alone and sleep. Also, when i showered at work, I faced the wall. I was scared that I'd see a ghost in the bathroom, scream, and my (mostly male) coworkers would think I slipped, bust down the door, and see me naked.

As I was an employee longer and longer, I realized that the guys were totally serious about this ghost. It threw things in the hallway. We were all in the kitchen one day and we heard it thumping around, walking very loudly upstairs. I had just been upstairs and no one was up there. Most of us kind of got used to it. I still wouldn't go upstairs alone though.

Sunday nights we usually just had one crew working. Myself and a guy who I'll call K were watching Happy Gilmore when we got a call. We locked up, paused the movie, turned off the TV. I SAW K do this. We left to run the call, and came back about an hour later. To find the TV ON AND THE MOVIE PLAYING. That night, we straight up LOCKED ourselves into the same room. LOCKED. Usually every Sunday was awesome because, since there was only one crew, we could have our own rooms. The station was set up so that each room had two beds, and each crew was supposed to share a room. Often I was lucky and got the only room with one bed in it and got to be alone, because I was a girl and they respected my privacy. But not always, and sharing a room with another person was never fun. We were SO creeped out that night that we said "to hell with it" and shared a room anyways. I think we even argued about who had to sleep in the bed by the door. I lost the argument.

A few weeks later, I had failed two sims miserably. Sims are fake emergencies. I was awful at them. I was fine in a real emergency. But give me a fake one, and I would kill the patient no matter what was wrong with them. Broken arm? Dead. Anxiety attack? Dead.
