It's Coming (2023) Movie Script

1
[]
[woman]
Just not crazy, violently.
What was that?
-A fly?
-[interviewer] A cockroach.
[woman gasps] No.
[interviewer] I swear to God
where'd that come from?
[woman]
Is there someone here Heaven?
Heaven? Heaven?
It can be perceived as crazy,
which is why I don't tell
a lot of people about it...
but it's happening
and it happens quite often.
By 36 years old
it's happened so long,
I know that I'm not crazy
and I'm fine with
whoever thinks so.
[]
No, I haven't spoken to anyone
outside the family about it.
I don't wanna tell them
and then they think
that I'm a crazy person.
I do think that there are evil
spirits in this house.
I feel like when things
like this happen to us,
African Americans, we don't
seek any professional opinions
or help about it because we
don't wanna sound or look crazy.
We kind of keep it in
circle amongst the people
who either seen it or know
about it and we ignore it.
We believe it comes
from evil intent.
We won't pay it any mind.
[woman]
What's your name?
Javier.
-And how old are you?
-Seven.
And your brothers
and sisters names,
what are their names?
Their names is, [indistinct],
and Antonio...
Alexis and Selena.
My hobbies
are playing PlayStation,
playing Fortnite.
Minecraft,
DS Emulator, swimming.
[man]
What's your favorite
subject at school?
Crafting. Like, you have
a paper, some glue sticks...
a pencil, some scissors,
and you basically draw
what you're gonna cut out
and when you cut it out,
like make whatever you're gonna
make like a person, a car,
or you can fold the paper in
into an airplane or something.
I don't hate any subjects.
I like every subject.
I have to stay up a little late
because if I go to sleep too
early, I wake up in the middle
of the night
and then I see that black
thing staring at me
in the hallway.
It's some long person.
Him that has long legs.
He's black.
He just stares at me.
[]
I see some white eyes...
around the kitchen.
He just stares at me
all night
till I go to sleep.
I just see him looking at me
at the other room.
Then he just goes
away real fast.
[interviewer 2]
You think the man
is scared of you?
No.
Basically I'm scared of him.
His name is Kitty.
I was up by myself in
the middle of the night
at around three in the morning.
To the right side of me
I had seen,
um, a black shadow.
I had seen it near the wall
of the living room.
It was at the corner of my
eye 'cause I was on my phone.
It didn't do anything.
And it was there till
I went to sleep.
I think that the figure
is a ghost of a spirit
that may have died
here a long time ago.
It wants this house back
and it doesn't want to leave.
And this is weird 'cause I know
exactly what he looks like.
When I was 11, I had my first
incident. I was sleeping.
I woke up
to a man in all black
standing at the foot of my bed.
He actually looked like Kevin
from the Backstreet Boys
when he grew his hair out.
It was all black.
He had a black trench coat on,
but his face
was kind of bright.
He grabbed my ankle,
dragged me to the floor.
He kept squeezing on my leg
and then he looked at me
and said, "My name was Max."
He held onto my leg for a few
more seconds and then let go.
I got away,
went back to my bed
and I blinked a couple times
and he wasn't there anymore.
I see him often.
I believe that there is
something he's supposed
to tell me,
something I'm supposed to do
or he's supposed to
remind me of something.
I just don't believe
that the same entity is
following me for no reason.
From time to time we
would like put up a cross
and it would like get
knocked down by itself.
We had saw a dead
chicken foot fall out
of like the pile of clothes
that we had pulled out
the closet
and it had fell out there
and we didn't know
how it got there.
The voices that I would hear
are kind of like muffled voices
where you can't understand
what they're saying,
but, um, it sounds like people
are talking.
Things falling
from a higher place.
The first incident
was when I was
around five years old.
I was sleeping in one of
the rooms of my house.
I had woken up in
the middle of the night
and I had saw a black figure
staring at me in the hallway.
So after the incident
I told my mom.
She was aware
of weird things going
on in the house herself.
She had the house blessed and
for a while it seemed to work.
But then everything came back
to the point where guests
were noticing and seeing
things their self.
So we ultimately just moved.
-[interviewer]
It appears in this house?
-Yes.
'Cause most of the time
I don't really wanna be dead.
[mumbles]
And I still wanna
do other things.
So, what I do is run
through the demon.
And why I do it is
because I remember how
well if I punch it,
my hands goes through.
[woman]
What scares you
to come wake me up?
'Cause of that black figure.
When I go to sleep,
I do be hearing something in
her room calling her name.
I don't know how
to explain it though.
[woman]
I think that that's Max.
The person he's seeing
when he wakes up in here.
That's pretty much him because
that's what he used to do
to me when I was younger.
He wouldn't say anything
but he would just stand
there and actually did.
That's the first
time I ever heard him
describe him fully like that.
He just always said
a black figure.
He never said anything
else about it.
[interviewer]
Javier, do you think when
you see the person in
the hallway it's a nightmare
or is it real?
I think it's real,
'cause one time me
and my brother was up,
I seen him over there...
just staring at both of us.
And we was
watching Teen Titans
so we can go to sleep.
[interviewer]
Did your brother see it?
No, 'cause he was already
falling asleep and I seen him.
My mom tells me to
go to sleep early
because I have school...
so I just try
to listen to her.
But then I wake up in
the middle of the night again.
I just did that yesterday too.
And I seen him.
I think he wants like a...
I guess a camera
or my soul I guess.
Because last time
I seen him take a camera.
[interviewer]
What do you mean?
What camera did he take?
Not like that one, but the one
you make videos with.
[woman]
The other night
when I was hearing stuff,
when I did go back
to sleep and I woke
up in the morning
one of the cameras
was completely closed.
[]
I-- he didn't tell me
this, so I didn't know.
Well, I'm just
thinking about it now.
Like I asked everyone in
here who closed the camera.
'cause everybody
knows that I'm trying
to film while
we're all sleeping.
So I don't think
that they would just close
my computer like that.
It was completely closed.
Like, and it's a laptop
so it's like that.
So when I got up,
it was completely closed.
I'm like, "You guys
know I'm filming.
Who did it?
Who closed that?"
[interviewer]
Have you got the footage?
[woman] Yeah.
I think it's the one
where I-- I brung it
to 23 minutes and change.
It just went off.
It was recording and then
it just went off.
[interviewer]
Why do you think he
wants your soul?
I don't know.
Maybe...
he wants to feel stronger
or give it to the devil
to make a new
demon or something.
[interviewer]
Where-- where did you
get the idea
that he might want
your soul though?
[Javier]
Because after the video
I did see something
that looked like a soul
'cause it turned back on.
She knows, she's just shy
because she doesn't know you.
-I'm three years old.
-See.
-She usually gets a sound sleep
and wakes up around six.
-[lamp whirrs]
By the time she wakes up,
she's already
back in my bed with me.
So... I don't think
things are bothering
her too much.
I'm happy about that.
Oh, God.
It's like here they go again.
[woman whistles]
Heaven!
There you go.
Come on, come on,
[whistles]
Come on,
[makes kissing noises] come on.
-[child mumbles]
-See told you, see.
It's the light.
She has to have the light off
to come back.
-Heaven.
-[girl] Heaven.
[woman] Get in here.
[woman indistinct]
I know her like a book.
No, I haven't done
anything like Ouija boards
or anything like that.
I just feel like
those would bring in
bad spirits.
I do wanna
move from this house
because I feel that
it's very creepy.
Two people believed me.
I told the rest of the class
and they didn't believe me
'cause they said
that's not real
because demons are fake.
[interviewer]
And then what'd you say?
I said probably
'cause you never
seen them before.
I'd be happy if I'd
never seen it again.
Because demons are the worst.
Why?
I don't know how you
don't understand that.
That they be killing people.
I don't even know why.
I think I'm going to die.
[interviewer]
Why do you think
you're gonna die?
Because I be seeing
other people dying.
[woman]
Do you see people dying
in your dreams, Javier?
Uh...
not at all.
[interviewer]
Do you feel safe
when you go to sleep?
[Javier]
Now that I seen the demon.
I used to,
but now that
I've seen the demon,
when I wake up in
the middle of night, no.
All I think it wants
to do to me is kill me.
Because it never leaves...
until I die I guess.
[interviewer]
Is there any way to stop it?
[Javier]
I think there
is a way but I don't know
the way.
[woman]
When Javier comes to
wake me up at night,
he just complains
about a black figure
and that's as far as it goes.
And what he's describing
sounds like the same demon
I've been seeing since
I was 11 years old
or haunted by,
if you wanna call it.
I also didn't realize
that he seen the cameras
shutting down.
Not just battery drain,
but they were closed.
I never heard him--
hear my name being called.
I thought I was the only one
hearing my name being called.
That kind of makes me upset.
I'm like, maybe it's time to
do a cleansing or something.
Because lately I would say the
past week things have gotten
a little loud in here.
Waking me up, hearing things.
Cabinets are always
opening, closing.
Sometimes the water
turns on and off.
I know someone
turned out the light.
I don't know which one
of you it is, but someone
turned out the light.
Someone turns out my cameras
after like four hours.
First you cut the light out
as soon as he walked in.
So I knew then.
Throwing that bug you knew
was gonna get me so upset.
[interviewer]
Why do you think they
threw the bug
and turned the light off?
Because they don't like you.
They don't like Shannon here.
I don't think
they've liked
Shannon since
he started coming here.
And I've started discussing
what's going on in here.
You must have
a problem with me
because you follow
me everywhere, right?
[]
Are you gonna leave?
[door closes]
I'm Soledad Haren.
I am a medium
and I have been my whole
life since childhood.
I actually have
studied parapsychology,
different aspects
of parapsychology
and I actually am
a practicing spiritualist.
A house cleansing is
actually ridding a--
ridding a house-- it could
be any space actually.
Once you've determined that
there is a spirit there,
that there is
a presence there,
you're getting rid of it.
-Hi. Ashley?
-Hello.
Nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you, too.
[Ashley]
So the other night I was
out here about 3:00 AM.
I was watching TV,
I could hear spirits
conversating with each other.
Turned the TV down and I looked
at the-- towards the window
there was a black figure
standing out the window.
But it looked as if he was maybe
peeking over out, you know,
to see what was out there.
Right.
So I was kind of upset
and I yelled,
"What do you want?"
And when I did that,
I felt a burn on my stomach.
So when I touched it,
it got worse
because when I touched it,
my whole skin just peeled--
it peeled completely off.
It sure did.
-Yeah.
-And normally I would
get like scratches in a three,
but I-- it wasn't
that way this time.
This was different,
it's 3:00 in the morning,
I'm not cooking, I'm not
doing anything special.
Just sitting here.
Well, the fact that it was
at three in the morning
-I find disturbing.
-Okay.
Just 'cause in the Christian
faith, they believe
that Jesus Christ
died at 3:00 PM.
-Okay, so... yeah.
-And it's picking the inverse.
It's almost like the--
you know,
you see the inverted crosses
-as a symbol of evil as well.
-Okay. Yeah.
You said they--
you hear other entities?
Yes. I definitely hear
more than one.
Whether they're talking
about me
or just talking
amongst themselves.
I'm not gonna say I haven't
seen bad ones before,
but it picked up lately.
I would say the past month.
Did something happen
like three months ago? Did...
Before I actually
moved in here--
this is my husband's childhood--
where-- where he grew up.
-Okay.
-And my grandmother-in-law,
I came down here to
take care of her.
But when I did,
I was told
that there was
brujeria that was done.
Black magic.
Not necessarily black magic.
But I find things
around the house
-like a jar with a boiled egg.
-Yes. Yes.
The other day I found
what looked like an old pear
and I don't even eat pears.
You know, if they open some
kind of energy vortex, a portal
and they moved out
and left it open.
I'm actually--
as we're talking,
I was pretty hot
when I came in here,
but right now
I'm getting kind of cold.
For some reason,
I don't think--
after the incident where he--
when I was 11
he pulled my leg.
That's how he got me
out of bed.
I think that
was to get my attention.
-But he never--
-Right.
He didn't--
he did that twice,
but he never did it again.
He never did that again.
Now when I see him,
he just like stares at me.
And usually if I see Max,
something ends up happening
that I either avoid
the next day
or something like that.
Max might actually be--
and I do think he's probably
like a spirit guide
of some sort that--
'cause he's been with you
for your life.
Yeah, for a very long time.
And it seems like
he might actually be
trying to protect you.
This is Palo Santo
that I brought with me.
-And we can try and...
-Okay. Okay.
You know, see, but let's just
see what-- what we find.
Okay.
And this is-- it's a regular
FM radio frequency.
-Okay.
-[clicking]
It's the kids play room.
Oh, that's strange.
It's changing
the speed and...
Yeah, well see
a lot of the time
sometime my kids
will fall asleep out here
-because they're
scared to be...
-In here.
...in here at night. Yep.
This is a--
looks like an older mirror.
Very old.
Do you know the story?
My husband's
grandmother moved here
when the building
was first built
and that has been
here ever since.
So we just started, you know,
changing certain things.
That can wake stuff up, too.
Oh, okay. And certain
things like this
I didn't want to change.
-Did you hear it? Yeah.
-Yeah, I heard it.
-Yeah. When you redecorate.
-Oh, I didn't think about it.
And you can actually get
energy trapped in mirrors.
This was the mirror
of my husband's--
my grandfather-in-law.
And he died six years ago.
He lived here with us.
That's my teenager--
my son's room.
I feel cold in here.
And there's a real
suffocating feeling in here.
-Yep. He says that.
-Yeah.
He definitely says that.
I'm very cold
in here actually.
Like I said,
I just started changing things.
Like we just started pulling
up the floors
to try to change
the different tiles.
That might be
what set it off.
And it seems like there's always
a roadblock every time
we try to do something.
Like we couldn't get
the tiles off the floor.
-Yeah.
-So now I gotta have
somebody else come do it.
It's always something
stopping us from
continuing what
we're trying to do.
This apartment is
over 40 years old
and it's time to change things.
And here you have
another mirror.
Yeah, I do.
I have a teenage
daughter and she likes
-to look at herself.
--[laughs]
So this is your home.
So I want you to tell it
this is my space.
Only good energies
and good spirits
are invited here.
We only want good
energy and good spirits.
So anyone else needs to leave.
So anyone else, I need
you to vacate please.
This is Ashley's home.
You're scaring my children
out of even being here.
Which is why no one really...
Any bad or negative
spirits, please vacate.
You are not welcome here.
Any other spirits that are
trying to get to the light,
please make your way
to the light now.
That's right.
Only good spirits are welcome.
-Other spirits... yes.
-Only good spirits.
And you're protected
by the light.
I am protected by the light.
It might-- it can attach--
attach itself to you.
Yep.
That's-- do your bubble
exercise again.
You're in your bubble.
You're in your white light.
-I'm safe.
-Invoke--
you can invoke Max
'cause I do think
he's your spirit guide
and he's there to help you.
You can also invoke
your ancestors.
And you can certainly
invoke archangel Michael
-'cause he's a warrior.
-Okay. Yeah.
You can say archangel Michael
protect me.
Say the Lord's Prayer.
You know?
Yes, I do, yep. I know that.
Because they do not
like that.
[laughs]
And so, yeah.
And get that holy water.
-Okay.
-And just keep it.
There is a part of me that's
worried about retaliation
because I have been through
this process before.
Sometimes it goes good
and it goes good for a while
and then it reverts
and sometimes when it
reverts it's worse than
before when I did it.
[sirens wailing]
[car horn honking]
Right here. Right here.
I want to see if--
if this-- if there's--
you know,
there's gas coming out.
What's the matter?
You smell gas?
Yeah. Ever since last night.
I don't know what that is.
We can't figure it out.
It's like a rotten slash
gassy smell.
Especially if you light it.
I don't know. I don't have
a reader to test myself.
You don't have
any gas here.
You smell it?
I smell something,
but I don't smell gas.
Last night.
I don't know what that is.
We can't figure it out.
It's like a rotten
slash gassy smell.
Especially if you light it.
So I don't know.
I don't have a reader
to test myself, but--
You don't have any
gas here, do you?
You smell it?
You don't smell it?
I smell something but
I don't smell gas.
I've had it before though,
'cause they had
to replace the whole line.
-Yeah, but I got nothing.
-Okay.
-All right. So listen...
-Shall I pull it out?
[clanging]
Oh, I'm sorry. Okay.
I'll get out the way.
[Ashley]
I thought the house cleansing
was done correctly.
I think we went about
everywhere in the house.
So I felt confident about it
when we did it.
The next day I
started to get this
horrible smell in the house.
It was located in
my dining room area
and then right here
in the computer area
it was so bad if you
would stand in either here
or you would stand over there,
you would definitely smell it
and no one could figure out
where it was coming from.
I tried to debunk it with
seeing if it was a gas line
or something old in the fridge
that someone forgot about.
It was nothing.
We opened the windows
like they told us
and we went
and waited outside.
45 minutes later after
we were back in the house,
someone knocked on the door
and it was National
Grid this time.
And they told me that
they had been sent
by the fire department
to try
to come trace if
there was any gas
or if they could figure
out what the smell was.
And they-- this time pulled
the stove completely out
where the line of gas
would be coming through.
And they found nothing.
They kept saying they
smelled something,
but they couldn't figure
out what it was.
[girl]
They're gone now.
[Ashley]
It was about 2:00
in the morning
and I seen my son run
past my room door.
So it's very late
and I'm wondering
what is he doing running,
number one,
but then when I got
up and checked, all my kids
were asleep.
But I'm still hearing things.
I think it's someone
pretending to be my kid
because that's not
the only time it happened.
This has happened before.
[rumbling]
-Oh, God.
-[Shannon] Now that's weird.
See, they just don't like
when I talk.
So it's fine.
I'm still gonna talk.
That's what I mean.
Every time I-- it's every time
I'm talking about it, I...
[audio falls out]
-So that was...
-Say what?
They're bothering me.
Why did that microphone
stand just move?
Um...
I don't believe
the microphone--
let me say that.
I don't believe the microphone
stand just moved.
I think it was meant
to hit me.
It fell because I'm talking
about them.
Either the lights cut out
when I'm talking about them...
or something gets thrown at me.
Multiple things have
been thrown at me.
[Shannon]
You seem very unfazed by it.
Yeah, because it happens all
the time. It-- it really does.
It-- it's all the time.
As soon as I'm telling
someone else about something,
it happens or since
the cleansing, I'll say,
"Oh, it seems like the smell
kind of might be going away."
And as soon as I say that,
it comes back.
After the house cleansing,
I've been sleeping good.
I haven't had I any weird
dreams or anything like that.
Or I haven't woken up in
the middle of the night.
Right after that,
there was a weird smell
that was here
for a few days
and we didn't know
what it was.
And then also...
[Shannon]
I just saw something
really weird
on the screen.
I don't know what that was.
Hopefully that was recording.
Like a red dot or something?
[Ashley]
A bunch of weird things here.
[Shannon]
Why didn't it work?
I just got distracted.
Those things didn't happen
before the house cleansing.
And we all waited--
waited outside in the car
for a few minutes
and then they said there
was nothing wrong
and then they left.
So then we came back in,
but the smell was still there.
Um, I think that the house
cleansing may have caused it
because the spirit probably
didn't like the house cleansing
so they were trying to do
certain things to affect us.
[train rattling]
[fire alarm beeping]
[girl indistinct]
[fireman indistinct]
-You weren't cooking, right?
-Huh?
You weren't cooking
anything, right?
No.
[Ashley]
Do you remember
the noise, Leelee?
-The loud noise?
-No.
All right. Do you remember
the fire, the firemen?
Yeah you remember the firemen.
What did they do when they come?
When they came here,
what did they do?
Look at the camera.
What did they do when
they came here?
-Fire station.
-Yeah, the fire station comes.
So we had to go where?
Where do we have to go
Outside?
Where do we have to go?
-The Food Bazaar.
-Food Bazaar. She means
the parking lot.
So we had to go to the
Food Bazaar parking lot?
-You remember that?
-Mm-hmm.
My family has had
poisoning before.
We almost died actually
some years back from CO2.
So I didn't take too long.
I called 911.
And when they got here,
they tried to disengage it.
Still kept going off for them.
So even they thought
that was weird
because normally when you
disconnect it, it should,
you know, not make
any more noise.
And it kept going for a while.
So eventually they
ended up having
to just clip the wires
that were inside of it.
It's crazy 'cause she ran--
as soon as she heard it,
she was out here with it
before I was.
I was in the room.
She ran all the way back
to the back of the house.
What scares you in this house?
Fire.
Okay, she's been obsessed with
that ever since that day.
Who's on your dress?
What kind of dress is that?
Elsa.
Oh.
[Shannon]
When they were here, were
you worried about something?
No. Not at all.
[Ashley] Javier.
Why do you have to
speak like that?
-You're not a robot, speak...
-I don't know.
The only thing that scares me
is black figures.
I hasn't seen any
black figures,
so that's why I'm not
scared anymore.
Whose makeup is that?
Whose is that?
-Mom's.
-Who are you trying
to look like?
Elsa.
[Ashley]
You think I'm leaving
or something?
So why you
don't wanna go to sleep?
Everybody else is.
[Shannon]
If Mom went to bed,
would you go to bed?
[bang]
You hear that?
Okay. I'm sorry,
[Shannon]
What was that?
I heard something over there.
I don't know what it was,
but it was something.
It's-- it's always a lot
of activity out here
and it's always random.
See, it's not when
you're trying to get it,
it's when you're not
trying to get it.
[Shannon]
Is there anything fallen
in the kitchen?
Oh, no.
She's on top of the couch.
Your hands. Your hands.
God. Um...
-that's what I was looking for.
-[beeping]
Did you do that?
[]
Is there more than
one person here?
Okay. That's definitely
not a side to side.
When it's doing circular,
that's-- that's a yeah.
Did I invite something
else in here?
Is it a warning?
Now You see how it
switches to circular?
Okay, so that's
like a warning.
Um...
No. Someone's here.
[Shannon]
I definitely saw it moving.
Yeah, and it's not saying no
that it wants me to
stop or anything.
So definitely likes it.
I-- I'm wondering...
I don't think Max
is here because...
I'll take this
over the scratches it--
it gives me sometimes.
Like I'll get scratches on my
chest, scratches on my leg.
I'm just trying to
figure out like what--
are we bothering you?
Evidently. There's definitely
someone back there though.
It's okay.
I don't mean any harm.
I don't.
That's not a bad one though
'cause I would know a bad one.
I seen like someone
just walk past.
So then you know how you get
that feeling like, okay,
was that just something?
And then it walked past again.
Mirrors are gateways.
Remember that.
Anything with real reflection.
Okay, I forgot
what you was asking me.
I really did now.
They're here.
Just like we're here.
And who says that we're in--
they're invading our space?
What if we're invading theirs?
It's very possible.
You need more energy?
Well, that's a no. Okay.
I mean, you can physically
feel the drain, too.
When I do it this way,
it's like...
Okay.
[]
I don't recommend doing this
if-- if you've never--
you know, going in blind,
if you've never
done it before.
And you definitely want
to be in a serious mode.
And be in a mode where you're
protected, you're cleansed,
and be sure--
be sure afterwards
that you close off that
channel of communication.
Don't leave it open.
I stay in a lot of hotels
because I have to travel a lot.
Um, I'm a day trader and there
are a lot of seminars in Chicago
and LA and...
I did not tell
my kids I was doing this.
I think they're too young for
that type of conversation.
I did tell my husband
and he knows
that it's dangerous
just as well as I do.
He's accepting
the fact that my--
my boldness is pretty
hard to shut down.
So I wanna know
what I wanna know.
and this is the way
I think I can find out.
Is there someone
who wants to speak?
[static hissing]
I almost wish at the same time
I had my other camera facing
that way because there's
something in that corner.
Who is in that corner?
I can clearly see your shadow.
Just moving back and forth.
Who is that?
[static hissing]
I hope this got it
because I think I
heard something at the end.
[static hissing]
Oh, I'm sorry.
I scared myself.
I hope this got it
because I think I...
That's what I thought
I heard at the end.
It's weird because I didn't
hear it as strong here,
but that that picked it up.
Oh, God. Hold on.
We didn't hear that there.
It didn't make
that sound there.
It did not. I'm not crazy.
It didn't make
that sound there.
I'm using my phone just
to record the EVP in case
the computer loses it
or to see if there's
any differences.
There's obviously differences
from what this is picking up...
then what I'm even
hearing on here.
I am hearing some
things on there,
but it seems like
this is really--
this is really
picking everything up.
You can ask the question
and then you just let it answer.
I'm just kind of
a little bit baffled
because it seems like
that's picking up more.
Can you please
give me your name?
'Cause I definitely heard that.
Sounded like we're
upsetting you.
Can you let-- let us know if--
if we're upsetting you?
Just giving it time
to catch anything.
Okay. Let's see if
it recorded anything.
[static hissing]
[voice]
We're coming.
Okay. Um, all right.
Give me a second.
[laughing]
I'm not fucking-- um...
wow.
I was about to stay here
tonight, but I don't know.
I-- I-- I don't know.
Let me see
if this got it, too.
"We're coming" is what
it sounds like to me.
Look.
[static hissing]
Look.
[voice]
We're coming.
That's definitely
"we're coming."
I think if you ask anybody
else, that's what that says.
It stops, the sound.
Look. For a second.
-[Shannon]
Why does the sound cut out?
-I don't know.
[growling]
I didn't hear that before.
I didn't hear that before.
Look.
[heavy distorted breathing]
[growling]
We didn't hear that before.
We didn't hear that before.
[heavy breathing]
[growling]
[slowed down growling]
[Ashley]
I hope this got it
because I think I heard
something at the end.
I can tell you there.
Like this is--
I don't know, who is we?
I don't know.
I don't know.
My nose is bleeding.
I felt it before
it started to drip.
That's why I went
to the bathroom.
But I don't-- I think
whatever it is,
it just doesn't like
what we're doing.
The shadow that was there,
it's still here.
It's not in that corner,
but it's still here.
That's the bad thing,
I think.
Is there a child here?
There's a child.
That's why that black figure
is really--
that's-- whatever that was
that's not good.
Whatever made my nose
feel like it was running,
and it wasn't horrible.
No, but that
wasn't the child.
[]
I'm really not gonna
stop until I find out.
I need someone like me.
Not saying it in a bad way,
saying it like...
someone else who can see them.
So it's 2:00 AM.
I'm tired,
drained.
But I just want to see
before I go to sleep
is there anything else here?
Someone lingering?
Anyone?
Did the bad one leave?
Just anything,
anything that you want to say.
If there's someone here.
Giving you time to respond.
[static hissing]
[child speaking distorted]
[clicking]
[Shannon] Hmm.
That black shit is not a kid.
That other thing that's
in here, that's a kid.
[]
I heard the kid without that.
I-- I just heard the kid
without that.
[Shannon] My screen just
went black, cut out.
-That's the kid.
-Just cut out again.
We're not here to hurt
you or anything like that.
You're safe here with me.
It's definitely okay.
[Shannon]
That's a kid.
I told you that an hour ago.
Before I did that.
That's a kid.
[Shannon] My screen went
black three times.
And I'm down to one bar
on the battery.
You're killing his battery.
And it's a boy.
I don't think the child knows
that it's-- he's-- he's gone.
It's a he.
I don't think the child
knows he's gone.
They don't know they're gone.
You don't hear that?
You didn't hear that?
It's okay.
-[Shannon, indistinct]
-[gunshot]
What the fuck?
And my phone just
drained to one.
Yeah. I'm not comfortable
anymore. This is not...
[Shannon]
Did you hear that
sound out there?
-[Ashley] That was a shot.
-That was a gunshot?
[Ashley] Mm-hmm
[gunshot]
[man] Fuck you!
-[Ashley indistinct]
-[man shouting]
-[Shannon]
What happened to your screen?
-I don't know.
It had just cut off and then
at the same time
my phone went from 10 to one.
Literally.
[sighs] God sake...
[Shannon]
Is that related out there?
I'm not sure.
I-- I-- I don't know.
[man yelling]
Okay. Uh, wow.
I don't put it
out of my mind.
It's never completely
out of my mind.
I try to, but what happens
is, in the midst of trying to
so much, I just end up
falling asleep anyway.
So I got to be out
here by like eight.
I have the--
a class at nine.
[Ashley]
I actually started to hear
that same voice again today.
It said "coming."
It didn't say "we're coming."
It said "coming."
I'm taking that
very seriously.
Like there are
other bad spirits
that are about to come.
Just because I was
gambling with a Ouija board
or I stepped into something
like trying to help the kid
that they didn't like.
Next week I think
I'm going to link up
with, um, a medium
who also has the abilities
like I do to hear and see them.
I do think that when you do
things with more than one person
that has the same
abilities, we will be able
to summon something.
The train.
And I feel like
if I can see it once it's
summoned,
it would really help me
because I might
recognize who it is.
[audio slows]
[Javier]
So one time my Mom took
me to the park with my dad
and stuff 'cause
it was Father's Day
and we were doing something
and I just started
to notice again
the black figure.
It was just walking up to me.
So I went down the slide
before he can catch me.
And when I got home I saw Kitty.
She said-- he said hello.
And then after
he said hello,
I went in the room, I turned
the lights off in the hallway.
Instead of it just
being all black,
it had some yellow eyes
just staring at me.
He's so unsettling and just--
just like sitting in the room
and threw it at it
and I just went to sleep.
[Shannon]
Tell me what you
threw at Kitty.
Like the cat toy.
Then the next morning
I realized
everywhere I go there
was just black stuff
standing next to me.
Wait a minute.
What's that?
[Shannon]
Because you haven't
seen it in so long.
Yeah.
[Shannon]
And now it's come back.
Mm-hmm.
Did this just-- have you--
so you saw it
at the house, right?
Yeah, first I saw it at
the park then the house.
How many times at the house?
Probably like I think
four or something.
I thought
that if I told someone
every day I'll just
keep seeing it.
So I decided
to not tell anyone.
But instead I'm telling
it to you.
Yeah, just kept saying random
words I couldn't understand.
And just kept saying hello.
My mind just cleared,
but it was still there.
So instead I just
started playing catch
for some reason.
We found the rock
and just kept
playing with it.
Until he was just gone.
He just disappeared
at the end of the game.
I just started
playing again when--
when my brother saw I was
just playing with nothing.
Then I kept trying to
explain-- explain it to them,
but they didn't listen 'cause
they thought it wasn't real.
But I thought I was just
seeing something but I wasn't.
Yeah, I hope I see it again.
And so I can ask it something.
[Shannon]
I just-- are you not
scared of Kitty anymore?
No.
Because I guess we started
being nicer to each other.
Like we started making
houses with them
and they making rock people.
So like make furniture and play,
hang with him in there.
And we made SpongeBob.
And actually made our
own show with him.
Kitty's friendly now.
To me.
I thought if I told
Mom and Dad I--
I'll not be friends with her
and with him anymore.
[Shannon]
How come?
Because I thought my mom
and dad is not supposed
to know this.
This-- this-- this or--
or big people are not supposed
to know about the demon.
Is that-- is that what
Kitty said or is that
what you think?
That's what I think.
[Shannon]
Is this Kitty the same
Kitty you were seeing
before that you
were scared of?
Yeah.
Like yeah, this is the one
that I've been seeing.
This kid is real.
Kitty is real
and I'm not
imagining nothing.
I just know it.
'Cause it can't be fake
because I--
because I know how--
I know people.
I have seen it before.
[]
[knocking]
[Ashley]
So after filming
the other day,
I learned that Javier
has been talking
to an entity in my house.
Actually befriended an entity
-that he calls Kitty.
-[Leelee babbles]
Stop talking.
I can't film Leelee.
I'm gonna send you
with Dad.
-[Alexis] I want Elsa.
-[toy clanks]
I want Elsa.
You can have Elsa after.
-Okay.
-Shh.
The fact that Javier thinks
that this person
is actually nice
and it's okay
to hang around with
that's very unnerving.
I have heard him
talking to himself
and now I believe he
wasn't talking to himself.
Just four nights ago,
it was about one
in the morning and I came
into the living room
because he
was so loud playing
and talking with something
that I could not see.
It's brand new so I haven't
thought about
it being possession.
But I do think that it can
happen if he continues to
have a relationship
with this entity.
And if that's the case
and I see no change soon
as in really soon I'm going
to involve the Church.
[Shannon]
Where was Kitty when
you were talking to it
when you were drawing?
[Ashley]
What were you showing
Kitty on that board?
Nothing, I guess we was
just taking turns drawing.
[Shannon]
How do you know that that
was Kitty drawing and not you?
Kitty drew first
and I drew second.
[Ashley]
You don't have to be
embarrassed, we just want
-to know you're not in trouble.
-I'm not embarrassed.
[Ashley]
I'm talking, number one.
Just whatever you-- when you're
out here talking by yourself,
you're talking mighty
loud to yourself.
To the point where I have
to say be quiet,
turn it down some.
I'm not talking to--
if you hear someone talking,
that's definitely not me.
Pretty much I am comfortable,
but sometimes I'm not.
[Shannon]
Did you see Kitty last night?
No.
[Ashley]
So when I heard you
talking the other night,
or I thought I heard you
talking when Kitty was here,
was that the last night
you seen Kitty?
Yes.
That's where I was
building houses with Kitty.
[Shannon]
Do you think it's here now?
Yes.
Where is it?
Like right now?
Mm-hmm.
[whispers] Yes.
-Is it saying anything?
-No.
[Ashley]
Kitty is in the room?
That's where you seen Kitty?
Yes.
[Ashley]
Are you sure you
seen him in the room?
Yes.
-Jav, gimme two.
-I can't give you two.
Lex!
[Ashley] Is this thing
making you not speak?
Did it tell--
did Kitty ever tell you
not to speak to us about it?
No, I just thought it was
a good decision to not.
[Ashley] Huh?
-[Leelee babbles]
-I thought it was a good
decision to not tell you.
-Mom, look.
-Today specifically?
-Yes.
-Why? Why is it
a good decision?
Something gonna happen
if you talk about him?
I guess so. I thought so.
That's why I did that.
Today you felt more
uncomfortable talking about it?
You felt comfortable the other
day because you were outside?
Yeah.
Outside you have more
freedom to speak, huh?
You feel more comfortable
outside speaking.
[Alexis]
That's were Kitty don't
want to be here.
[Ashley]
Well I'm-- I'm letting you
know it can't hurt you
-in here or outside.
-[Javier mouths]
Has it ever touched you?
No.
Tried to?
Yes.
How do you know it tried
to touch you?
What did it do or say?
-[Leelee babbles]
-Just kept coming closer to me.
[Ashley]
Coming closer.
You know how the past
two mornings the tree's
broken in half?
Does it ever do
things like that?
Does it ever
knock things down?
-Does it ever do things
and think it funny?
-Yes.
Yes.
Do you say anything?
Do you ever tell it to stop?
Yes.
[Shannon] Do you feel happy
when you're in the house
or when you're
outside of the house?
Happy outside the house.
[Ashley]
Why are you...
more happy...
or more comfortable talking
about Kitty outside
instead of in here?
[audio slows]
[Ashley]
In the house.
Because I think
she might see me.
I mean, I think he
might see me in here.
Javie.
And I don't feel comfortable
being here by myself.
-Come with us.
-I don't want him to know
-that I'm telling
y'all about him.
-Come with us.
Come, come.
Don't stand and watch.
I think they'll just get mad.
[Ashley]
And you still think
Kitty's a good person?
Pretty sure, yeah.
Javie. Stop it.
[Ashley]
Jav. Jav. Relax.
Relax. Relax.
Slow down.
How do you feel?
Are you-- are you happy?
When you're here
in the house?
-No.
-Why?
I just don't feel comfortable.
[Ashley] You don't feel
comfortable talking about him?
-No.
-How do you feel right now?
-[Leelee sneezes]
-You feel happy? Salud.
-Salud, Leelee.
-No. No.
-Why are you not happy?
-I look happy but I'm not.
Because I'm just trying
to hide it from y'all.
Just so y'all think
I'm happy.
[Ashley] Okay.
Mom.
[Ashley]
You say Kitty's your friend.
-When did you start
feeling unhappy?
-[Leelee babbles]
When-- is it when
Kitty came around?
When Kitty came around.
[Ashley] But...
-That's church.
-[Leelee] Mommy!
...you say Kitty's
a good person.
Javie, this one's
in the bathroom. Javie.
[Ashley] So when you
started seeing Kitty
you stopped being happy
in the house?
-Yes.
-Right?
[Leelee babbles]
Did Kitty tell you
not to tell us anything?
-No.
-Oh, no.
I thought you just-- but,
y'all just keep asking
me questions. If y'all knew.
-Mom I think I got blood.
-Okay.
That's an okay answer.
That's exactly
what I had, Mom.
Mom!
I have blood like Ann.
Look.
You mean like me.
Come here, Lex. Come here.
Come here. What happened?
[Javier]
I had that too, Mom.
-That's a mosquito bite.
-Jav, go get me some tissue.
That's a mosquito bite.
I have one of those too.
I don't know about
a mosquito bite doing that.
She didn't have
that at all today.
Here, Mom.
Put some pepperoni's
on this pizza.
-[Leelee] Okay.
-There's no pepperoni's.
[Ashley]
He just looks so happy
when I see him playing...
with Kitty or even just
playing with the siblings.
He seemed happy to me.
[laughing]
[indistinct chatter]
-[Shannon]
Why'd you make the cross?
-I don't know.
I just wanted to
make it a church.
I didn't do
the building yet.
[Shannon] Oh, okay.
I only did the cross.
I'm moving to Mexico, bro.
I need to go to the toilet.
That was a nice day.
-Here's your bed.
-That's my bed.
-Sleep on your bed.
-Not sleeping on my bed.
So today, as far as I know,
we have not captured any
footage of this spirit
that Javier seems to be
having fun and engaging with.
But me, myself,
I'm going to wire the house
with cameras tonight to try
to see if I can
catch it off guard
because I feel like
that's the best way
is to just have it running
continuously and wait for it.
[Alexis crying]
[Alexis]
No, no, no.
[Alexis crying]
[]
Big mistake I always see
in lots of movies is,
oh, is there anybody here
who wants to communicate?
That is the worst thing
you could ever do.
Because what you're literally
saying is there anybody here?
Like would you open
your front door
and then just invite
anybody into your house?
Of course not. You are
actually opening a vortex.
You're opening a gateway
to another world.
And if you're saying,
"Hey, is there anybody
who wants to communicate?"
You don't know who
you're gonna get.
And I don't
recommend doing that.
And we are protected.
And I'm just gonna do
another general...
It's not moving.
Is it a spirit of darkness?
[phone vibrating]
What was that?
-That was my phone.
-[laughs]
It was weird.
Let me just cut it
off for a second.
-Yeah. Okay.
-Very weird though.
[Shannon]
What does it say?
It's weird. It just now
popped up the Uber ride.
Like as if
it was just coming.
[wind blowing]
I think it's trying--
it's going this direction.
So I don't know if
it's trying to...
[]
[Soledad]
Who is in the corner?
Who is standing in the corner?
Hearing "hide."
Don't know what that means.
Who are you?
Lilith, why are you
in Ashley's home?
What is lost?
Who's lost?
Or what is lost?
What is it you want?
It's like it's trying
to make an L again.
Still telling me it's Lilith.
I feel like one is
controlling them all though.
-Oh, yeah.
-Because most of the time
when I see them they just
stare as if they want
to say something and can't.
Why are you interacting
with Ashley's children?
Oh, no.
If you continue to
stay around my children,
then I will have
an exorcism done.
No.
"Leave them to me."
My legs are like shaking
In the name of the Father,
the Son and the Holy Spirit,
you cannot have them.
You know my personality
is strong
enough to go to war.
Oh, my gosh.
-I've always...
-You gotta go, Lilith!
Did you feel that?
"Bitch."
That's fine.
I'll claim that.
-If there was one that's
just a regular human spirit,
-[static pulsing]
maybe they're keeping
that person trapped.
Actually that would make sense
with the lost hope message.
-Mm-hmm.
-If that person you know,
had maybe committed suicide
or died in some way
where they felt despair,
they would be stuck here
And the other two
might be keeping
that person from moving on.
Yep.
[static pulsing]
[voice over static]
Take me out of here.
Say that again.
[static screeching]
Said take me outta here.
-Take me outta here?
-Yeah.
My grandfather-in-law's
name was Tom, Thomas.
He lived at the house
with us.
Um, and he also used to say
that there were
spirits in the house.
He struggled with liver
sclerosis for a while,
but then he got better
and he actually left to...
go visit upstate
from New York City.
And as soon as he got
up there, he died.
So the way to end all of this
would be for Tom
to move on into the light,
which is really worth...
So they have nothing
to feed off of.
But then they'll have
nothing to feed off of.
And then my fear is that they're
gonna try and attack you.
I think the entity that
is referring to themselves
as Kitty
to my child is Lilith.
Yeah.
That's what I think.
The dark shadow that me
and others have seen,
I think that's because of me.
That's the one that has
followed me my whole life.
If it's really the Lilith,
I would think
she would be stronger.
Stronger.
That's what I was saying.
Yeah, 'cause like
Lilith is, yeah.
-So I don't know if she--
-But that fits the
impersonation.
-Like I said, it impersonates.
-They lie!
Are any of you
a part of the...
spirits from a couple weeks ago
that said "we're coming?"
Is any of those ones here?
[static hissing]
[voice]
Pray for me
"Pray for me."
Oh, wow. God, that--
[static hissing]
I hear music.
His room is now basically
his grandson took it.
[thunder rumbles]
Sometimes we're in
another room
and we can smell smoke
because he used to smoke.
Cig-- okay.
He used to put his
music on and smoke
and then he would
come knock on our door
and you know,
see what we were doing.
But that happens.
We hear something like music
and then we smell
smoke as if he's...
[static hissing]
[distorted voices]
[voice yells]
That was very scary
at the end though.
-That...
-Yes.
And did you notice at
the end, it kept going
-after I took my finger...
-Yeah. Yeah.
That last part.
We didn't sage you.
We need to sage you.
[laughs]
-Your child's
behavior had changed.
-Yeah.
He's starting to act like--
Because they can
influence behavior.
-That's what I'm thinking.
-The same as--
-It becomes a vicious loop.
-Definitely acting like that.
'Cause they influence
you to be more aggressive
-and then, you know.
-He's never like that.
Because the reason I say that,
he's the most softest child.
-The most, you know,
-That's interesting.
He's like that, and what he's--
this is bad as
it's gonna sound,
he's starting to act like me.
-[laughs]
-That's what he's starting
to display.
Like he's snapping
at things that people say.
He's become very sarcastic.
-Yeah.
-And I'm like, oh that's--
that's me.
That's-- that's--
that's how I am.
That's exactly how I am.
The circle is gonna close.
Every being,
every spirit
needs to go back...
to where you came from.
Everyone please move on.
And with that,
we're gonna close our circle,
close our portal.
Everyone from the other
side's gotta go back
to the other side.
-And with it
closes the portal.
-[Ashley] Goodbye.
Today I'm gonna be showing
my Kitty about my tablet.
So, Kitty, this is my tablet.
Alexa.
[electronic music playing]
This is my tablet.
-Talk to me.
-[Alexa laughing]
You're gonna win now.
Here's how you play Sonic.
[Alexa]
Can I play now?
Who are you talking to?
My friend
I'm showing her how to play.
What time is it?
And that's how you beat it.
Do you understand, Kitty?
[Alexa laughing]
Stop it.
I wanna punch you
in the face.
Jav, I want to punch
you in the face.
-Hi. Ashley?
-Yes.
Hi, Chris DeFlorio,
how are you?
-Nice to meet you. I'm good.
-This is my wife Harmony.
-Nice to meet you.
-Hi.
-How you doing?
-Good.
You know what? Can we sit
down for a few minutes?
I'm gonna ask just a couple
of follow up questions.
We talked on the phone.
There's a couple things
I wanna just go over.
-Okay.
-Before we jump into
the investigation.
-Okay.
-All right.
Let me--
You have infestation,
you have oppression
and possession,
which is very rare.
That's what we want to stop
before it gets there with
your son, especially.
Um, the more we talk
with them even in
the household,
the more that door's
gonna be open and they're
gonna stay here.
I'm gonna run some tests.
We're gonna bless your home.
But after we leave, it really
just depends on the family.
-Everybody has their
own choice, you know?
-Okay.
I'm-- I'm Baptist and my mom
says the same thing.
Okay. Yeah.
It's hard
when they impersonate
things like little children
and things like that
because they play
on my emotion.
I'm thinking, are you lost?
-Do you need help crossing over?
-Exactly.
[Harmony]
And that's the oldest
trick in the book.
-Right.
-They always like--
you know, come in
as little children.
It's a decision you're
going to have to make.
And it's gonna be hard for
you because you see them.
And I understand that.
So you see these things
so you're like,
"Well, how am I gonna stop?"
-I've even had
one of the kids...
-Yeah.
that was about-- looked like
around four years old.
I had two miscarriages
in between the five kids
and one of them said,
"Oh, I'm your kid
that you-- that you lost."
-[Harmony] Wow.
-So that's the turning point
where I said,
"Okay that can't be true.
-This is-- this is bad.
This is not good."
-Right.
And our groundings in--
in faith with God.
That's why we can come
into a place like this
and we're not scared.
You know, we're gonna
see things.
And a lot of times
we don't see anything
'cause when we come it's usually
you can hear a pin drop
because they don't want to be
recognized that they're here.
Talking to my kids
it became a problem.
That's-- so I'm willing
to do whatever,
even if it gets rid
of the good ones or--
befriending which
I'm guilty of
in the past of doing
with certain ones.
And I'm okay with that for
the sake of my children.
Awesome.
All right, let's do this.
I'll get it in a minute.
I'll just get
more sip of water.
I wanna go to the kids room.
[Chris]
Where did you see it
First right here,
but then right here.
Just the person,
just a guy.
-Yeah I just saw it.
-But I don't know who he was.
I just saw something
right there.
I was trying to see if they
would tell me who they were.
It doesn't look like one
of the ones that liked
to throw things.
That's what
I was worried about.
Is it still there
or is it gone?
-Right there? Is there
something in the corner?
-He is still there.
Is there something--
I got something right
by the corner of the TV.
Right here.
[Ashley]
No. Well, that could
be something.
I don't see that one,
but I see that
right there by the door.
-[Chris] Yeah.
-It's a man.
You're not welcome
in this home.
And I'm commanding you
in the authority
of Jesus Christ
that you're not welcome here
and you need to leave.
[Ashley]
I think she should move.
I think she
should come over here.
Cause now he's walking
closer to her.
[Chris] Just a minute.
[Chris] Why don't you
walk towards me?
If you're that tough,
why don't you walk
towards me right now?
Do you feel
anything over there?
[Harmony]
No, I don't think so.
[Chris] What did you
just see, Ashley?
A man, maybe about 30s.
-Still there?
-Yes.
[Chris] Just keep looking
over there a minute.
It's like he keeps walking
back towards the door.
But when he was speaking,
he kept getting closer to her.
That's why I didn't want her
standing where she was at.
[rattling]
-[Harmony]
Now you have bad migraine?
-Yeah.
[Chris]
Here come sit over here.
Just have a seat.
[Harmony]
Have some water.
[Ashley]
I'm-- I'm fine though.
This happens a lot.
Does that-- do you think
that means it was like
a bad spirit or just...
I didn't think it was
bad at first. I'm sorry.
No, no.
Please don't apologize.
[Chris]
Yeah, don't apologize.
There's like more of them.
They don't want you guys here.
-[Harmony] Oh, no.
-[Chris] Where are you?
Where are you?
[crying]
Please.
Wait, why are you crying?
Explain to me.
It's because it's more
of 'em coming in now.
It's like they don't want
you guys here or something.
Well, they don't
want us here
because we're going to,
you know, get rid of them.
-We're gonna get rid
of the bad ones.
-Giving me a headache.
Where's your water? Here?
Right here.
-It's like two more
of them with him.
-Harmony, hold this.
I don't know who either
of you are. Like I don't.
[Chris]
Give me the camera.
[Ashley]
Please don't throw anything
or touch anything.
Please don't.
They know
that's what gets to me
'cause that's when
I get very upset
when they start
moving things, or...
And if they do
we're here.
-Okay.
-Here, Ashley.
-Okay?
-This is so embarrassing.
-It's not embarrassing.
-Hold this.
[Chris]
This is St. Benedict's medal.
[Harmony] I would be upset,
too, if I could see
something and they were
throwing things in my house
and I had small children, or...
[Ashley] Yeah.
-And they were, you know,
coming in the middle
of the night
and taking form
of my children.
That would be very scary
I'm listening to you.
-All right.
-I'm trying to listen to you.
Except they keep
talking to me.
-Right over here?
-They're right over there.
-There's two younger
girls and one guy.
-[beeping]
[Chris]
Are they making that happen?
[Ashley] Yeah.
They keep telling
me their names.
I don't know what that means.
It was the Madeline that
told me all three names.
She said "We are Kate,
Madeline and James."
That's all they kept saying
at first when she was talking
to me at the exact same time.
And then Madeline was
saying, "Can't find my body."
I can almost feel what
she's going through.
[Chris]
"He will cover you
with his pinions
and under his wings
you'll find refuge.
His faithfulness is
a shield and buckler.
You will not fear
the terror of the night,
nor the arrow
that flies by day,
nor the pestilence that
stalks in the darkness,
nor the destruction
that wastes at noon day.
A thousand may fall at your side
10,000 at your right hand,
but it will not
come near you."
How you feeling?
Okay.
Just stay in contact
with me so I know, okay?
-Okay.
-I just wanna make sure.
-What was I hearing?
-Yeah.
-Can I tell you?
-Absolutely.
Exactly how
they said it to you.
Ask him how
his last case went.
Interesting. Anything else?
Just kept saying, "Ask him
how his last case went."
I'm just trying
to block him out.
Oh, interesting.
Okay.
[Harmony]
Last case went well.
Harmony.
You don't answer it.
Yeah, I'm sorry this is new.
It's taking everything in me
just not to respond.
-It just really is.
-Okay. Well you're doing great.
I'm not gonna talk
to him anymore,
but he said he's going
home with you guys.
-Okay.
-He's going home with us?
-Yes.
-Oh.
"Most glorious prince
of the heavenly host,
Saint Michael, the archangel
defend us in our battle against
principalities and powers
against the rulers of this world
of darkness against the spirits
of wickedness in
the high places."
-How are you?
-I'm okay.
You feel all right?
Just hot?
Nothing else, right?
Are you really okay?
-I'm just--
-[Chris] Just hot?
Very hot.
I feel a little...
[Chris] What?
I don't know,
like a little...
[Ashley] Like someone's
standing next to you?
-Yeah, like a little tingly.
-Yeah.
Actually.
I really don't want him
to go home with you guys.
'Cause that would be
partially my fault.
[Chris] We're not talking
about him, Ashley.
[Ashley] Okay.
You have no power over
anyone in this apartment.
You know
you're not fooling me.
That's why you're not doing
anything in here tonight.
So do yourself a favor.
In the name of Christ,
you're banished from this place.
You're banished from this
apartment, from this family,
from these children,
from anywhere in this building.
You have no invitation here.
It's being revoked.
God, the Holy Ghost
commands you.
Hold on.
"Christ, God's word made
flesh commands you."
I'm okay. I'm okay.
What are you hearing?
Nothing right now.
It's the first time
it's been quiet
this past hour.
[speaking quietly]
[Chris] If something moves,
maybe it's just to get
your attention.
If you see something,
it's to get your attention.
-You control this. You do.
-[Ashley] Okay.
Whatever was here,
if it was any of those
witchcraft before,
any curses, any hexes here,
they're gone.
They're gonna have
no power here.
It's your home.
Heaven, go get Javier.
[Chris chuckles]
[Ashley] Javie!
-[Chris] Want to sit with us?
-[Ashley] Come on.
If you could do
me a favor, okay?
Whenever this friend,
if he comes back again,
I don't think he's
gonna come back.
If he does though,
I don't want you to talk
to him, okay?
-Okay.
-Because he's really--
I'm gonna tell you,
he's not your friend.
Okay? And I want you
to talk to your friends.
You know who's cool to talk to?
Look right there.
Sister, brother.
Your other sister.
Okay? But we don't
want to talk to anybody
that's not like us. Okay?
That we all can't see.
We're all not here. Okay?
We're not gonna talk to
black figures, right?
That have no face,
nothing like that. Okay?
And if you see anything,
you're gonna just
tell your mom, okay?
Is that all right? Javier?
You promise?
How about pinky promise?
What do you think?
How about,
where's that medal?
Let me see that medal.
Yeah, it touched the area.
Medal to medal, okay?
Okay, I have it too. See?
All right.
And that is-- that is gonna
protect you.
-Okay?
-Mm-hmm.
And so if you see anything,
you just tell Mom, okay?
-Mm-hmm.
-All right, so you're not
gonna talk to anything?
-You promise?
You promised. Okay.
-Mm-hmm.
I am sort of concerned
because I have never seen
that much crowd in
my home at one time.
At one point
when he started,
and I believe even they said
they can feel something,
it was like 10 of them.
Literally they just all came
and they started
with just the one guy,
then the two girls,
and then all of a sudden
a whole bunch more
where they were
just everywhere.
And that's when
I started to cry
because I heard 'em say
just-- not just the one
or the original
three that came,
but they all kept saying,
"We don't want him here.
They're trying to kick us out.
They have to go."
It's not good.
I seen a lot
of them today
and they're not good.
There's nothing good about it.
Do you understand me?
Because I'll be watching you.
Don't-- don't--
if he comes or she comes
and says, "Oh let's play,
let's do this," don't do it.
-Do you understand me?
Because Chris tried
-Mm-hmm.
to close the door
from the bad spirits
coming into our house
and if you continue
to play with whoever
you're playing with
or engage, it's gonna open
the door back up.
And usually when the door
gets opened back
after being closed,
it gets really dangerous.
You hear me?
Are you okay with that?
Can I hear you say it?
Are you okay with that?
Yes.
[Shannon]
What are you thinking about?
Nothing.
-Are you gonna be okay
with not speaking to him?
-Yes.
Okay.
Are you all right?
Are you mad about
not being able
-to speak to him?
-No.
-Huh?
-Mm-mmm.
-You okay?
-Mm-hmm.
Okay. He'll be okay.
Still seeing a couple things
and still hear things,
but I'm learning to ignore it.
And it's gotten a lot less.
Seen anything since
he's been here.
-No.
-No Kitty? That's good.
Maybe they're just be mad
that we're ignoring them.
Mm-hmm.
That's the point.
Even if you do see him
or her, ignore it.
Don't engage.
Don't play with it.
Are you seeing it
and just not playing with it?
-No.
-Or you're not
seeing it at all?
Mm-mmm.
-Not seeing it at all?
-Mm-mmm.
[Shannon]
What you got there?
Donut.
[Ashley] Leelee.
[Ashley]
You got your napkin?
[Ashley]
So you're ready to go back
to school, Javie?
-Yep.
-You are?
Yes.
Looks like a tiny pizza.
Because I'm feeling good.
And I'm feeling like it, too.
You feeling like
a second grader?
Yes.
No, I haven't been seeing
anything weird lately.
[whispering]
Oh, you know how
to make hearts now?
Mm-hmm.
Nice.
Let me see.
Oh.
I see that. What is that?
I can see you.
[sister]
Jav, where'd you put your--
where your chips at?
I ate them.
[indistinct chatter]
Okay.
-No you didn't.
-Oh, thank you.
-Where's the Doritos?
-They're gone.
What happened to them?
-I ate them.
-You like my chain?
-What is it?
-It's a flower.
-Why are you doing it?
-Oh, that's a tattoo.
-That's a chain.
-Look at your hand.
Open your hand.
It's gold.
Red.
-How many flowers?
-Is Ann's red?
Two.
Two. Right here.
One right there.
Just one.
I wanna see if it fits.
-That's a star.
-That doesn't look like a star.
That's a star.
You want a butterfly?
You want 'em?
'Cause they hurt.
Yeah. Someone was just
sitting in that chair.
-That was Ann.
-Mm-hmm. That one.
Just that one.
You can leave everything else.
Move it.
-[sister]
Where do I move it to?
-Over here.
[Shannon]
Tell me what happened.
I think someone just came
and sat down in that chair.
Then they got up.
So I'm just like
move it while
they're not in it.
Sometimes it's hard to ignore
them when you see them,
especially when they come
out the blue, you know?
Like I'm just having
a conversation
and they come sit down on one
of my chairs
like they just did.
'Cause that means
they're quite comfortable.
But I'm not engaging in
conversation anymore.
I'm not trying to figure
out why they're here,
or why they're drifting.
Um, but I see them.
Javier has not come
to me about seeing anything,
which is good.
That was my main concern with
the children,
making sure
that my children are
not having conversations
or befriending these things.
[Javier]
I like to go to the park
because I like to go
high on the swings.
I wanna go high and jump off.
But Mom says that's
too dangerous.
-[Ashley] It is too dangerous.
-[Javier] I don't think so.
[Ashley]
All right, so I'll let
you try it. Go ahead.
You might end up in
a couple pieces, but...
[Javier] What?
[Ashley]
You sure don't do nothing.
What else do you do?
What do you run around
and do with those
water balloons?
You get wet in
the sprinklers, right?
[Javier]
Yeah, and I throw
them at people.
[Ashley]
Okay, so say I like
to have water--
I mean water bug.
I mean, um...
[Javier laughs]
[Ashley] Say I like
to have water balloon fights
at the park, too.
[Javier]
She said water bugs.
[Ashley]
I don't like them.
[children playing]
Two nights ago I played
with Kitty on the swings.
[Shannon] Right here?
Right here.
[Shannon]
And did you see it just now?
No, I didn't see
Kitty just now.
Friends.
We are friends still.
[Shannon] And how does it
look these days?
Does it look like
the same shadow, or...?
[]
Like how would you
describe it now?
I don't know.
[Shannon]
Like is it the same
it's always been?
Yes.
[children shouting]
