Bobby Mackeys Music World
1 THIS WELL IS A PORTAL TO HELL.
YOU WANT TO DO HARM TO US? DO HARM TO ZAK.
RIGHT HERE FOR YOU.
DID YOU HEAR THAT? ZAK! ZAK! OH, MY GOD! WHAT IS IT?! STOP! STOP RUNNING! Bagans: MY NAME IS ZAK BAGANS.
I NEVER BELIEVED IN GHOSTS UNTIL I CAME FACE-TO-FACE WITH ONE, SO I SET OUT ON A QUES TO CAPTURE WHAT I ONCE SAW ONTO VIDEO.
HOLY [BLEEP.]
OH, MY GOD! WITH NO BIG CAMERA CREWS FOLLOWING US AROUND, I AM JOINED ONLY BY MY FELLOW INVESTIGATOR NICK GROFF AND OUR EQUIPMENT TECH, AARON GOODWIN.
THE THREE OF US WILL TRAVEL TO SOME OF THE MOST HIGHLY ACTIVE PARANORMAL LOCATIONS, WHERE WE WILL SPEND AN ENTIRE NIGH BEING LOCKED DOWN FROM DUSK UNTIL DAWN.
IF THIS IS THE PORTAL TO HELL, WHY DON'T YOU COME UP OUT OF THAT GROUND AND GET US? RAW.
I JUST SAW SOMETHING.
SOMETHING JUST PASSED BY.
EXTREME.
NO! GO! GO! THESE ARE OUR GHOST ADVENTURES.

ALL RIGHT, WELL, WE JUST GOT HERE.
WE'RE AT BOBBY MACKEY'S MUSIC WORLD, ALSO KNOWN AS HELL'S GATE.
WE'RE NOT HERE FOR THE MUSIC.
WE'RE HERE BECAUSE WE'RE GONNA TRY AND FIND OU WHY IN THE HELL THEY CALL I HELL'S GATE.
WILDER, KENTUCKY.
JUST OFF THE EASTERN BANK OF THE NORTH-FLOWING LICKING RIVER SITS ONE OF THE MOST HAUNTED PLACES IN THE UNITED STATES.
YOU READY, NICK? THIS FORMER SLAUGHTERHOUSE AND SPEAKEASY HAS CENTURIES-OLD CONNECTIONS TO ORGANIZED CRIME, MULTIPLE MURDERS, AS WELL AS SATANIC CULT ACTIVITY.
THERE'S A WARNING SIGN.
"THIS ESTABLISHMEN IS PURPORTED TO BE HAUNTED.
"MANAGEMENT IS NOT RESPONSIBLE AND CANNOT BE HELD LIABLE "FOR ANY ACTIONS OF ANY GHOSTS/SPIRITS ON THIS PREMISES.
" THAT IS A SIGN THAT I LIKE TO SEE RIGHT BEFORE WE GET LOCKED DOWN IN A LOCATION.
Hensley: THIS IS THE REAL McCOY.
THIS PLACE HAS NUMEROUS ENTITIES IN IT.
I'M TELLING THE TRUTH.
THIS PLACE IS HAUNTED.
AND THERE'S SO MUCH EVIL IN THIS ATMOSPHERE AND ON THESE GROUNDS, IT'S UNREAL.
THESE EVIL SPIRITS DATE BACK TO ONE OF THE MOST NOTORIOUS MURDERS THAT TOOK PLACE IN KENTUCKY.
IN 1896, A GIRL NAMED PEARL BRYAN WAS BEHEADED 2 1/2 MILES FROM HERE.
THE TWO MEN THAT MURDERED THIS GIRL AND BEHEADED HER, THEIR NAMES WERE ALONZO WALLING AND SCOTT JACKSON.
WHEN THEY FOUND HER HEADLESS BODY, THE BLOODHOUNDS TRACKED THE KILLERS TO THIS VERY SITE.
THEY SEARCHED THIS WHOLE AREA LOOKING FOR THE GIRL'S HEAD.
IT WAS NEVER FOUND.
IT'S THE CONTENTION THAT HER HEAD PROBABLY WASHED OU INTO THE LICKING RIVER.
BUT IT'S MY OPINION IT WAS GIVEN HERE AS A BLOOD SACRIFICE TO THE DEVIL.
THE SACRIFICE TOOK PLACE AT THE ABANDONED WELL, THE LAST REMNAN OF THE SLAUGHTERHOUSE, FORMERLY USED TO CHANNEL BLOOD FROM THE KILLING FLOOR.
IT IS NOW THOUGHT TO BE THE GATEWAY TO HELL ITSELF.
IT'S MY OPINION THA ALONZO WALLING AND SCOTT JACKSON ARE TWO OF THE GHOSTS HERE AT BOBBY MACKEY'S.
WHILE THESE TWO MEN WERE ON THE GALLOWS, WITH THE ROPES AROUND THEIR NECKS, ALONZO WALLING SAID THAT HE WOULD COME BACK AND HAUNT THIS AREA FOREVER.
THEY'VE BEEN IDENTIFIED BY NUMEROUS PEOPLE THAT HAVE HAD ENCOUNTERS HERE.
AMONG THOSE PEOPLE IS JANET MACKEY, BOBBY'S WIFE.
WE TRIED TO INTERVIEW HER ABOUT HER EXPERIENCE, BUT SHE WOULDN'T TALK TO US.
I ASKED WHY.
JANET DIDN'T BELIEVE IN GHOSTS.
JANET MACKEY, BOBBY'S WIFE, DID NOT BELIEVE IN GHOSTS.
MM-HMM.
WELL, THEN THE ENCOUNTERS STARTED WITH HER.
MM.
Mackey: JANET WAS UPSTAIRS IN AN OLD APARTMENT.
SHE HEARD A VOICE SAY, "GET OUT.
" SOMETHING TOOK CONTROL AND FORCED HER TO THE TOP OF THE STEPS, AND SHE NEVER WOULD COME IN HERE BY HERSELF.
DOES SHE STILL NEVER COME IN HERE BY HERSELF? NO, SHE HASN'T BEEN IN HERE IN SEVERAL YEARS.
SHE REFUSES TO COME HERE.
WHEN I GOT PHOTOGRAPHS FROM THE OLD KENTUCKY POST NEWSPAPERS, I BROUGHT THEM BACK TO JANET MACKEY, AND SHE IDENTIFIED ALONZO WALLING AS THE FORM OR THE SPIRIT THAT THREW HER DOWN THE STAIRS.
JANET STILL WON'T STEP FOO IN THE NIGHTCLUB, BUT WE GOT CARL, THE FORMER CARETAKER, WITH AN EVEN MORE SHOCKING STORY.
WE'VE HEARD THERE'S A LO OF DEMONIC SPIRITS HERE.
YES, THERE'S MORE THAN ONE.
THERE'S MANY OF THEM HERE.
Mackey: CARL USED TO LIVE IN THE APARTMENT UPSTAIRS.
HE STAYED HERE, BUT HE BLOCKED HIMSELF IN THE ROOM, SLEPT WITH A SHOTGUN.
I DON'T KNOW HOW HE LIVED LIKE THAT.
HE TOLD ME THAT EVERY MORNING, ABOUT 6:00, IT SOUNDED LIKE AN ARMY MARCHING THROUGH HERE.
THESE EVIL SPIRITS, DID THEY EVER GET TO YOU? YES, THEY DID.
Hensley: HE HAD BECOME DEMONICALLY POSSESSED, AND THE REVEREND GLENN COE SPENT SIX HOURS PERFORMING AN EXORCISM ON HIM BACK IN THIS OLD AREA HERE.
AND YOU WITNESSED THAT? I WITNESSED THE WHOLE THING.
I LAUGHED ABOUT THE IDEA WHEN THEY SAID EXORCISM.
I WAS LIKE, "BOO HA HA HA.
" RIGHT.
WELL, THIS VERY AREA RIGHT HERE WHERE I CAME TO, AND I HAD MY HANDS AROUND A PASTOR'S NECK, I KNEW NOT -- I HAD NO RECOLLECTION OF WHAT HAPPENED.
DO YOU THINK THA THE EVIL SPIRIT OR SPIRITS THAT POSSESSED YOU ARE STILL HERE AT BOB MACKEY'S? I FEEL THEM RIGHT NOW.
YOU DO RIGHT NOW? BUT, BY THE GRACE OF GOD THEY KNOW TO LEAVE ME ALONE NOW.
WHILE THE SPIRITS MAY KNOW TO LEAVE CARL ALONE, NUMEROUS EMPLOYEES AND PATRONS HAVE ALSO HAD EXPERIENCES WITH THE MALEVOLENT SPIRITS THAT LURK INSIDE THE NIGHTCLUB.
I WAS WASHING MY HANDS, AND RIGHT NEXT TO THE SINK WAS A METAL GARBAGE CAN.
AND I HAD MY HANDS RIGHT HERE, AND THE GARBAGE CAN WENT WHAM! SLAMMED RIGHT UP AGAINS THE WALL RIGHT THERE, RIGHT BEHIND ME.
AND I JUST TURNED DIRECTLY AROUND, AND THERE STOOD A MAN RIGH THERE WITH A HANDLEBAR MUSTACHE.
AND I'M LIKE, "WHAT IS THIS?" AND IT JUST -- AND THIS BATHROOM JUST GOT INTENSELY HOT.
AND THE WORDS -- I COULD HEAR THEM JUST AS PLAIN AS DAY LIKE I'M TALKING TO YOU, "DIE GAME, DIE GAME, DIE GAME.
" I WAS A NONBELIEVER, AND I GUESS I WAS BEING PROVOKED.
DO YOU HAVE ANY KIND OF EXPERIENCES, ANY KIND OF PARANORMAL EXPERIENCES HERE AT BOBBY MACKEY'S? I CAME IN HERE ONE DAY, THE JUKEBOX STARTED PLAYING.
AND I HAD WALKED OVER THERE.
IT WAS UNPLUGGED.
THE RECORD WAS GOING AROUND AND AROUND LIKE THERE WAS A RECORD ON IT, BUT THERE WAS NOTHING ON IT.
AND THE SONG THAT WAS ON THE JUKEBOX WASN'T EVEN ON THE JUKEBOX.
WHAT SONG WAS IT? IT WAS THE ANNIVERSARY WALTZ.
[ "ANNIVERSARY WALTZ" PLAYS .]
Mackey: I DIDN'T WANT PEOPLE TO THINK OF THIS AS SOME KIND OF HAUNTED GHOST PLACE.
I WANTED PEOPLE TO THINK OF I AS A COUNTRY-MUSIC PLACE 'CAUSE THAT'S ALL I'VE EVER DONE IS SING COUNTRY MUSIC.
NICK AND MYSELF ARE VERY BIG FANS OF THE SONG "JOHANNA.
" OH, GOOD, GOOD.
WE LOVE IT.
I LISTENED TO IT I DON'T KNOW HOW LONG AGO, AND I KEEP -- HOW MANY TIMES DO I KEEP SINGING IT? WAY BACK IN THE '30s, IN THE LITTLE TOWN OF WILDER THIS SONG ACTUALLY TELLS KIND OF THE DARK HISTORY ABOUT THIS BUILDING HERE, ABOUT YOUR BUILDING -- MAYBE THE PARANORMAL ACTIVITY HERE, AS WELL.
Hensley: BACK IN THE 1930s, A DANCE-HALL GIRL NAMED JOHANNA WAS PREGNANT BY A CROONER NAMED ROBERT RANDALL.
ROBERT RANDALL WAS MURDERED BY JOHANNA'S FATHER.
AFTER HER FATHER HAD ROBERT RANDALL KILLED, I THINK SHE POISONED HER FATHER AND COMMITTED SUICIDE HERSELF.
SHE LEFT A POEM UPSTAIRS IN THE SPOTLIGHT ROOM.
JOHANNA, JOHANNA WHERE ARE YOU NOW? COULD IT BE YOU'RE STILL HERE SOMEHOW? WE WROTE THE SONG IN PROBABLY 15 MINUTES.
BOBBY MACKEY -- HIS MOTHER NAMED HIM RANDY MACKEY.
AT 1 DAY OLD, SOMETHING CAME OVER BOBBY'S MOM, AND SHE CHANGED HIS NAME TO ROBERT RANDALL MACKEY.
THE CROONER THAT WAS MURDERED HERE WAS NAMED ROBERT RANDALL.
REINCARNATION, I DON'T BELIEVE IN.
IT'S VERY COINCIDENTAL THAT HIS NAME WOULD BE ROBERT RANDALL.
SOMETIMES I THINK DARK HISTORY HAS A WAY OF REPEATING ITSELF.
IF ANYTHING LIKE THA IS POSSIBLE, I CAN SEE THE CONNECTION.
I HAD CARL TAKE US UPSTAIRS TO SEE HIS OLD APARTMENT, WHERE MUCH OF THE ACTIVITY TOOK PLACE.
YOU KNOW HOW YOU WALK IN FRON OF AN AIR CONDITIONER OR YOU OPEN UP THE FREEZER ON THE TOP OF A REFRIGERATOR, THAT BURST OF COLD? YEAH, YEAH.
I WOULD FEEL THA ON THESE STEPS.
Bagans: YOU SAID THAT YOU, RIGHT NOW, CAN KIND OF SENSE THAT THESE SPIRITS MAY BE WATCHING ALL OF US RIGHT NOW? YES, I DO.
I KNOW THEY ARE.
I FEEL THEM REAL STRONGLY.
DO YOU THINK THEY'RE GONNA LIKE US? OR DO YOU THINK THEY'RE GONNA DISLIKE US BEING LOCKED IN THEIR TERRITORY? I THINK THEY'RE GONNA BE CURIOUS ABOUT YOU.
I THINK THEY JUST WANT TO SEE WHAT YOUR -- WHAT YOUR INTENTIONS ARE.
I WANT TO PROVOKE THE HELL OUT OF THEM.
I JUST WAN TO STAND UP TO THEM.
I MEAN, WHO ARE THEY? WHO ARE THESE SPIRITS TO BE BULLIES AND TO POSSESS YOU? I WANT TO TAUNT THE HELL OUT OF THEM.
I WANT TO PROVOKE THEM, GIVE THEM A TASTE OF THEIR OWN MEDICINE AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS WHEN WE DO THAT.
YOU DO THAT.
I WANT YOU TO.
I'LL PROVOKE THE [BLEEP.]
OUT OF THEM.
I WILL.
YOU SEE THAT ON THAT DOOR RIGH THERE, THAT AMERICAN FLAG? YEAH.
AND IT SAYS "GO AWAY!" THAT'S WHAT I USED TO TELL THEM AT NIGHT.
HAD TO DO SOMETHING, MAN.
WHEN YOU STAY HERE, TONIGHT WHEN I GO HOME, I'M GONNA PRAY FOR YOU AND YOUR CREW.
IT WON'T SURPRISE ME THAT IF YOUR CAMERAS BREAK, IF YOUR AUDIO AND VIDEO GOES OUT, BECAUSE EVERYBODY THAT'S EVER CAME HERE AND TRIED TO INVESTIGATE THIS HAS HAD VIDEO AND AUDIO PROBLEMS WITH THEIR FILM.
I FIRMLY BELIEVE THIS PLACE IS STILL HAUNTED.
I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT THERE IS VERY EVIL SPIRITS HERE.
AND I BELIEVE THAT YOU WILL ENCOUNTER THEM.
WOW, THAT REALLY MAKES THIS LOCKDOWN A LOT MORE INTERESTING, DOESN'T IT? THAT'S WHERE PEARL BRYAN'S HEAD WAS THROWN DOWN WHEN SHE WAS DECAPITATED.
WHOA.
YOU SCARED US PRETTY GOOD, BUT WE'RE NOT LEAVING THIS TIME.
YOU WANT US OUT, YOU GOT TO HARM US.
AFTER HEARING THE FIRSTHAND ACCOUNTS OF THE PARANORMAL ACTIVITY AND DEMONIC POSSESSION THAT TOOK PLACE INSIDE BOBBY MACKEY'S, I WAS DETERMINED TO CAPTURE EVIDENCE OF THEIR EXISTENCE DURING OUR LOCKDOWN.
AND WITH DUSK RAPIDLY APPROACHING, WE NEEDED TO IDENTIFY THE HO SPOTS FOR OUR INVESTIGATION.
THIS WAS THE OLD KITCHEN AT BOBBY MACKEY'S.
AFTER THE EXORCISM OCCURRED, THE ENTIRE WALL CAUGHT FIRE, AND THE FIRE DEPARTMENT HAD TO COME PUT THE FIRE OUT.
THEY COULD NOT EXPLAIN WHAT CAUSED THE FIRE.
THE OTHER HOT SPOT WOULD BE UP IN THE SPOTLIGHT ROOM AND THE CATWALK OVER TOP OF THE STAGE.
THERE'S NO TELLING WHAT'LL HAPPEN UP THERE.
I'VE SEEN PEOPLE COME FLYING OU OF THERE THAT'S GONE UP THERE.
I KEEP HEARING NOISES BACK THERE, OVER AND OVER AND OVER.
OH, YOU'LL HEAR IT.
SO, MAYBE -- AARON, MAYBE LET'S PUT AN "X" BACK THERE.
I JUST WANT TO SHOW YOU THIS IN THE BACK.
RIGHT UP HERE IS THE SPOTLIGH ROOM UNDERNEATH THIS BURLAP.
IT IS A VERY, VERY HOT SPO UP THERE.
THERE'S BEEN PSYCHICS THAT HAVE COME IN THERE AND HAVE GOTTEN VERY ILL.
ONE WOMAN GOT THROWN BACKWARDS AND RAN OUT OF THE BUILDING AND REFUSED TO EVER COME BACK IN IT.
PHEW.
WOW.
NOW, DOWN BY THE WELL, OVER AND TO THE RIGHT OF THE WELL ROOM IS A VERY HOT SPOT.
THE PSYCHICS BELIEVE THAT ALONZO WALLER AND SCOTT JACKSON'S SPIRITS STAY THERE A LOT.
I HAVE A FEELING WE'RE GONNA GE SOME ACTIVITY.
YOU'LL GET SOME HERE.
YOU'RE GONNA GET WHA YOU'RE LOOKING FOR.
YEAH.
I HOPE I DON'T GET TOO MUCH.
[ CHUCKLES .]
LEFT BEHIND FROM THE DAYS OF THE SLAUGHTERHOUSE, THE WELL WAS THE KEY TO THE HAUNTINGS AT THE CLUB.
MATT TOOK US AROUND BACK TO THE ONLY ENTRANCE INTO THE BASEMEN TO CHECK IT OUT.
RIGHT NOW, MATT'S GETTING READY TO TAKE US TO THE ROOM WHERE ALL OF THE DEVIL WORSHIPPERS USED TO PERFORM ALL OF THE RITUALS AND SACRIFICES.
YOU OKAY? HOLD ON JUST A SECOND.
I HAVE TO CHECK FOR THE BAT.
RIGHT NOW WE'RE CHECKING FOR BATS.
WHOA, WHOA, WHOA, WHOA, WHOA, WHOA.
THAT'S -- I JUST -- SEEN LIKE A SCREAMING FACE HERE, WITH AN EYE HERE AND AN EYE HERE.
I JUST SAW THAT.
THIS IS KNOWN AS THE ROOM OF FACES.
THE ROOM OF FACES.
LOT OF FACES IN IT? THERE'S A LO OF DIFFERENT FACES.
WE CAME IN HERE ONE NIGHT.
I WAS THE FIRST ONE DOWN HERE.
RIGHT IN THIS GENERAL LOCATION RIGHT HERE, THERE WAS A SATANIC CIRCLE THAT WAS GLOWING GREEN.
MM-HMM.
WELL, I HAD PUT MY HAND DOWN ON THE GROUND, AND THE FLOOR WAS HOT.
SO I THINK IT'S A REALLY GOOD IDEA IF WE PLACE ANOTHER "X" IN HERE, MAYBE IN THE CORNER.
LET'S COVER THIS WHOLE ROOM AND SEE IF WE CAN GET SOME STUFF, MAYBE SOME DARK MASSES.
STATUE OF JESUS HAS FALLEN OVER.
HIS HEAD'S RIGHT THERE.
WHAT THE HELL? THAT'S HIS HEAD.
THERE'S THE HEAD OF JESUS RIGHT THERE.
NOW, WHEN DID THAT HAPPEN? I DON'T KNOW.
AND THAT'S WEIRD FOR IT TO FALL AND JUST THIS BREAK OFF OF IT.
ESPECIALLY RIGHT IN FRON OF THE WELL ROOM.
THAT'S WHERE PEARL BRYAN'S HEAD WAS THROWN DOWN WHEN SHE WAS DECAPITATED.
WOW.
THE ROOM THAT WE'RE GONNA BE GOING INTO IS ACTUALLY THE OLDEST PAR OF THE BUILDING -- THE SLAUGHTER ROOM.
WOW.
SO THAT'S IT, HUH? YES.
WHAT IS LEFT OF THE WELL.
HOLY COW.
HOW FAR DID IT GO DOWN? I DO BELIEVE IT WAS, LIKE, 14 FEET.
MM-HMM.
AND THEN WENT FROM HERE TO THE LICKING RIVER.
MM-HMM.
NOW, THIS IS WHERE ALL THE BLOOD AND STUFF IN THE SLAUGHTERHOUSE -- YES, THEY'D FLUSH I DOWN INTO THE WELL, AND IT WOULD GO OU TO THE LICKING RIVER.
RIGHT BEHIND US, WE HAVE A STAIRCASE THAT GOES NOWHERE.
WELL, IT'S LED TO BELIEVE THA HERE'S YOUR PORTAL FROM HELL, THERE'S YOUR PORTAL TO HEAVEN.
REALLY? THERE'S A STAIRCASE BACK THERE THAT LEADS TO NOWHERE? RIGHT HERE.
THAT IS REALLY, REALLY WEIRD.
SO YOU HAVE YOUR TWO PORTALS OUT OF THIS WORLD.
THIS WELL, HELL'S GATE, I WANT TO SIT OVER HERE TONIGHT, 3:00 IN THE MORNING.
I WANT TO COME HERE AT 3:00 IN THE MORNING.
THAT'S ABOUT WHAT TIME SHE WAS KILLED.
WE'RE GONNA SET UP A CAMERA IN HERE.
AARON, DO YOU WANT TO COME OVER HERE AND BRING SOME DUCT TAPE? LET'S MARK AN "X.
" WHY DON'T YOU SET UP AN "X" ON THAT TABLE.
WE'RE GONNA PUT A TRIPOD THERE AND ANGLE IT DOWN INTO THE WELL.
OH, GOD, MAN, I'M GETTING WOW.
JUST FEEL REALLY, REALLY LIGHTHEADED RIGHT NOW.
SORRY, MAN.
THAT'S ALL RIGHT.
Goodwin: OH, I JUST SAW SOMETHING DUCK UNDER THE FRIDGE.
HAIR ON MY ARM'S STANDING UP BIG-TIME RIGHT NOW.
DID YOU JUST SEE THAT, TOO? YES.
LIKE A SHADOW OF A GUY? YES.
I JUST FEEL REALLY DIZZY.
I DON'T LIKE GOING BY FEELINGS.
BUT, MAN, OH, MAN, OH, MAN.
HANG ON, GUYS.
THERE WAS A BLACK SILHOUETTE OF A GENTLEMAN STANDING DOWN HERE.
HE MOVED.
I SAW SOMETHING MOVE RIGHT OVER HERE, TOO, UNDERNEATH THIS LEFT PAR OF THE REFRIGERATOR.
YEAH.
REAL QUICK, HE STEPPED LIKE THAT.
HOLD ON, HOLD ON.
SIR? IS THERE SOMEBODY HERE? IF YOU WANT US TO LEAVE, DO YOU WANT TO GIVE US A NOISE OR A SIGN AND TELL US TO LEAVE? ARE YOU THE ONE THAT BROKE THE HEAD OFF OF THAT STATUE OVER THERE? PHEW.
IT WAS CLEAR THE WELL WAS ACTING AS A VORTEX FOR THE EVIL SPIRITS.
IN THE PAST, IT CARRIED BLOOD AND GUTS FROM THE SLAUGHTERHOUSE TO THE NORTH-FLOWING LICKING RIVER.
WE HAD TO FIND THE CONNECTION.
DON'T COME DOWN STRAIGHT.
THERE YOU GO.
OKAY.
YEAH.
OH! YOU ALL RIGHT? YEAH.
UGH.
HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE.
COME HERE.
I'VE GOT IT.
PHEW.
GOOD THING I'M A STUNT MAN, TOO.
[ LAUGHS .]
NO, I THINK IT'S OVER MORE.
CAREFUL.
THERE IT IS.
THERE IT IS.
THERE IT IS.
UGH! FUN SEWER, DUDE.
YOU READY? PHEW.
Goodwin: WHOA.
Groff: HOLY [BLEEP.]
THIS IS CREEPY, MAN.
THIS IS GETTING CREEPY.
I KNOW.
YOU ALL RIGHT? COME ON.
I DON'T KNOW WHERE THE HELL WE ARE.
CAN YOU HEAR IT? Groff: YEAH.
THERE HAS TO BE AN OPENING.
DO YOU WANT TO GO UP FURTHER? ARE YOU SURE? DO YOU? I DON'T KNOW.
I'M HEARING ALL KINDS OF WEIRD -- LIKE, FEMALE? YES.
YEAH, I HEAR IT, TOO.
EXACTLY.
I HEARD LIKE A "WHOOOO.
" HERE, LET'S REWIND THE CAMERA BECAUSE I THINK I ACTUALLY CAUGHT IT ON MY CAMCORDER, THAT WEIRD THING.
WHEN WE CHECKED TO SEE IF THE VOICE WE HEARD WAS CAUGHT ON TAPE, OUR FINDINGS WERE INCONCLUSIVE.
DOUG HAD WARNED US OF PAST INVESTIGATORS HAVING EQUIPMENT TROUBLE, AND IT APPEARS WE ENCOUNTERED THE SAME PROBLEM.
OH, MY GOD! I FOUND IT! OH, MY GOD.
I FOUND THE WELL! I FOUND THE WELL.
IT'S RIGHT HERE.
DOES THIS KEEP GOING? NO.
YEAH, BUT IT TURNS IN RIGHT HERE.
THERE'S SOMETHING IN HERE.
STANDING AT THE BOTTOM OF THE WELL, WHERE MURDERERS DISPOSED OF PEARL BRYAN'S HEAD, SENT CHILLS DOWN MY SPINE.
OH, THIS SMELLS SO BAD.
OH.
OH, GOD.
OH.
NO! RUN! IT'S SO NASTY! MANY CULTURES HAVE COMBINED A RELATIONSHIP WITH WATER AND PARANORMAL.
THEY SAY THAT SPIRITS CAN'T CROSS FLOWING WATER, SO WE'RE ASKING OURSELVES, DOES THIS RARE NORTHERN CURREN OF THE LICKING RIVER, DOES THIS HAVE ANY INFLUENCE ON THE MANY CLAIMED EVIL SPIRITS THAT THEY SAY HAUN BOB MACKEY'S MUSIC WORLD? THAT'S WHAT WE'RE GONNA TRY AND FIND OU WHEN WE'RE LOCKED DOWN IN THERE LATER.
DID YOU HEAR THAT? HOLD ON.
IT WAS BEHIND ME.
YOU WANT TO DO HARM TO US? DO HARM TO ZAK.
RIGHT HERE FOR YOU.
WHOA, WHOA, WHOA, WHOA, WHOA.
ALL RIGHT, RIGHT NOW, WE'RE SETTING UP OUR EXTERIOR STATIC NIGHT-VISION CAMERA.
AND AS YOU CAN SEE, IT'S STILL POURING DOWN RAIN.
AND HE'S GOT A CHAIN.
BOY, YOU'RE REALLY MAKING SURE WE'RE NOT GONNA GET OUT OF HERE.
WE CANNOT GET INTO THE BASEMEN FROM THIS INSIDE AREA, SO WE'LL STAY HERE FROM DUSK UNTIL 2:00 A.
M.
, AND AT 2:00 A.
M.
, COME UNLOCK US OUT -- NICK, AARON, MYSELF.
THEN THE THREE OF US WILL WALK WITH YOU AROUND THE OUTSIDE OF THE BUILDING TO THE DOOR THAT LEADS INTO THE BASEMENT, AND THEN YOU'RE GONNA LOCK US DOWN AGAIN AT THAT TIME AND THEN COME BACK AND LET US OUT AT DAWN.
ARE YOU READY TO LOCK US IN HERE? OH, YEAH.
ALL RIGHT, DO IT.
[ CHUCKLES .]
WE'RE READY TO GE THIS INVESTIGATION STARTED.
YOU READY, NICK? WE'RE HERE! WERE YOU GUYS WAITING FOR US? 'CAUSE HERE WE ARE FOR YOU.
IT'S JUST THE THREE OF US, AND THAT'S IT.
SO, WE WANT TO MEET AND SEE ALL OF YOU WHO HAVE BEEN SCRATCHING PEOPLE AND THROWING PEOPLE DOWN STAIRS.
NOW'S YOUR CHANCE TO COME AND DO IT TO US 'CAUSE I THINK YOU'RE NOTHING BUT A BUNCH OF EVIL COWARDS.
THAT'S ALL YOU GUYS ARE.
THE ATTACKS AT BOBBY MACKEY'S WERE VIOLENT IN NATURE WITH ONE ENDING IN A DEMONIC POSSESSION.
BECAUSE WE WERE THE FIRST CREW TO BE LOCKED IN FOR AN ENTIRE NIGHT, WE KNEW TAUNTING WOULD BE THE BEST WAY TO DRAW OUT THESE SPIRITS.
IT FELT LIKE WE WERE SURROUNDED BY PURE EVIL.
YOU WANT TO DO HARM TO US? DO HARM TO ZAK.
RIGHT HERE FOR YOU.
YOU'VE BEEN HARMING EVERYBODY ELSE IN THIS CLUB.
YOU'VE BEEN HARMING PATRONS OF THE BAR, YOU'VE BEEN HARMING BOB MACKEY'S WIFE, CARL.
I WANT TO SEE WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT.
COME AND HARM ME.
I WOULD LATER REGRE THAT COMMAND.
WHEN WE INTERVIEWED PEOPLE EARLIER, A LOT OF THE PEOPLE THAT WORKED HERE WOULD SAY THAT THERE WAS A JUKEBOX THAT WAS RIGHT HERE, AND ALL THE TIME, THEY WOULD HEAR THIS JUKEBOX WITH NOBODY HERE PLAY BY ITSELF.
IT WOULD PLAY THE SONG "THE ANNIVERSARY WALTZ," AND IT WOULD ACTUALLY BE UNPLUGGED FROM THE WALL, AND THE SONG "ANNIVERSARY WALTZ" WASN'T EVEN IN THE JUKEBOX.
SO, WE THINK THA MAYBE A SPIRIT OR SPIRITS LIKED THAT SONG FROM A LONG TIME AGO.
WE DECIDED TO BRING OUR OWN PORTABLE RADIO AND PLAY A VERSION OF THE "ANNIVERSARY WALTZ" TO SEE IF WE COULD LURE SOME OF THE OTHER SPIRITS WHO MAY HAVE BEEN ATTRACTED TO THAT SONG.
[ "ANNIVERSARY WALTZ" PLAYS .]
WHOA, WHOA, WHOA, WHOA, WHOA, WHOA.
RIGHT HERE.
I AM FREEZING MY ASS OFF.
AARON, HOLD THE CAMERA UP TO ME.
LET ME SEE THE THERMOMETER.
GIVE ME THE THERM-- THE OTHER THERMOMETER.
WHOA.
FEEL MY ARMS.
SHINE ON MY ARMS.
TAKE THIS, ZAK.
ZAK, TAKE THIS.
OOH, OOH.
I AM, TOO.
I AM, TOO.
IT FEELS LIKE IT'S ON ME.
LOOK IT.
I'M FEELING IT, TOO, GUYS.
YEAH, YEAH, YEAH.
MY WHOLE FACE RIGHT NOW.
HERE.
LOOK AT YOUR HAIR STANDING UP.
IT IS VERY COMMON WHEN IN THE PRESENCE OF A SPIRI FOR YOUR BODY TO REAC WITH GOOSE BUMPS OR SEEING THE HAIR ON YOUR ARMS OR NECK STAND ON END.
AS WE STARTED TO PULL OU SOME OF OUR OTHER EQUIPMENT, NICK AND AARON HEARD AN UNEXPLAINED FEMALE VOICE.
[ INDISTINCT SOUND .]
DID YOU HEAR THAT? I DID JUST HEAR THAT.
HOLD ON.
SOUNDED LIKE A GIRL'S VOICE.
IT WAS BEHIND ME.
OUR AUDIO AND OUR NIGHT-VISION CAMERAS ALSO PICKED UP THIS UNEXPLAINED FEMALE VOICE.
JOHANNA, ARE YOU HERE? ASK HER IF SHE'S IN THE ATTIC OR SOMETHING.
JOHANNA, ARE YOU IN THE ATTIC RIGHT NOW, HIDING? WE THOUGHT THE FEMALE VOICE WE HEARD ON THE DANCE FLOOR MAY HAVE BEEN THE SPIRI OF JOHANNA WHO SADLY COMMITTED SUICIDE AFTER HER LOVER WAS MURDERED BY HER FATHER.
WE'RE GONNA GO UP IN THE ATTIC RIGHT NOW.
THERE'S ACTUALLY AN "X" -- WE PLACED AN "X" THERE EARLIER.
SO WE'RE GONNA GO PLACE ONE OF OUR STATIC NIGHT-VISION CAMERAS UP IN THE -- [ CREAKING .]
DID YOU HEAR THAT? YES.
I JUST HEARD THAT.
Shh, Shh.
I THINK IT WAS ACTUALLY COMING FROM UP HERE.
Goodwin: YEAH.
Shh.
OKAY, SO, AGAIN, WE'RE HEARING ALL KINDS OF NOISES, AND THEY KEEP COMING FROM THE ATTIC, SO I FEEL LIKE I NEED TO GO UP THERE AND STAY THERE BY MYSELF.
AND I'M GONNA WALK ALL THE WAY BACK INTO THAT LITTLE SECRET ROOM WHERE JOHANNA WROTE THAT LITTLE LOVE POEM ON THE WALL.
AND JOHANNA OBVIOUSLY IS THE ONE WHO COMMITTED SUICIDE HERE AND IS SAID TO HAUNT THIS PLACE.
GO AHEAD -- DO IT AGAIN! OH, NO! STOP! STOP! DO NOT RUN FROM THIS! WITH COUNTLESS UNEXPLAINED NOISES COMING FROM THE ATTIC, AND MANY WHO BELIEVE THE SPIRI OF JOHANNA RESIDES UP HERE IN A SECRET ROOM WHERE SHE WROTE A LOVE POEM BEFORE HER SUICIDE, I WANTED TO SEE IF I COULD MAKE A CONNECTION AND COMFORT HER.
[ GRUNTS .]
JOHANNA, ARE YOU IN HERE? I'M IN YOUR SECRET ROOM RIGHT NOW, SWEETIE.
I KNOW WHAT HAPPENED, JOHANNA.
I KNOW YOUR LOVER, ROBERT RANDALL, WAS MURDERED.
WHILE I WAS UP IN THE SPOTLIGHT ROOM, OUR STATIC NIGHT-VISION CAMERA PICKED UP THIS UNEXPLAINED CRYING NOISE.
IS THIS THE SPIRIT OF JOHANNA? JOHANNA, TELL ME WHY YOU'RE TRAPPED HERE.
AS I MADE MY WAY BACK DOWNSTAIRS TO MEET UP WITH NICK AND AARON, I HEARD SCREAMS FROM NICK AND FOUND HIM RUNNING OU OF THE MEN'S RESTROOM, WHERE THE GUY WE INTERVIEWED EARLIER, RITCH LAWSON, WAS VIOLENTLY ATTACKED BY A MALEVOLENT SPIRIT.
[ EXHALES SHARPLY .]
I WENT TO GO TAKE A PISS, AND THIS [BLEEP.]
JUST BANGED ON THE WALL LIKE SOMETHING WANTED ME OUT OF THERE -- TWICE! Goodwin: I HEARD THAT, DUDE.
Bagans: SHUT UP.
COME HERE, COME HERE.
THAT SCARED THE [BLEEP.]
OUT OF ME, AND I STILL HAVE TO BUTTON MY FLY UP.
THAT WAS [BLEEP.]
LOUD.
IS THAT YOU THAT MADE THAT NOISE? GO AHEAD -- DO IT AGAIN! GO AHEAD! YOU DON'T WANT ME IN THIS BATHROOM? BANG ON IT AGAIN.
OH, MY GOD, THAT SCARED THE LIVING [BLEEP.]
OUT OF ME.
THAT SCARED ME, TOO, BRO.
I'M SHAKING RIGHT NOW.
I WAS -- ALL RIGHT.
SO I WALK IN HERE -- DID YOU HEAR HOW LOUD THAT WAS? THAT WAS LOUD.
Shh.
I WALK IN HERE.
I GO TO TAKE A PISS.
ALL OF A SUDDEN YOU WANT TO HEAR HOW LOUD IT WAS? I HEARD, NICK.
I HEARD YOU SCREAM.
DUDE, I WAS SCARED.
IT WAS LIKE THIS.
NO, IT WASN'T EVEN THAT.
[ TAPS .]
NOPE.
WHAT THE [BLEEP.]
[ THUDDING .]
NO! STOP! STOP! STOP RUNNING! GO BACK IN.
DO NOT [BLEEP.]
RUN! GO BACK IN.
MOVE, MOVE, MOVE.
DO NOT RUN.
STOP RUNNING.
GO AHEAD, DO IT AGAIN! DO NOT RUN FROM THIS! WE'RE NOT RUNNING FROM YOU! DO IT! HIT THIS! COME ON -- DO IT! DO IT AGAIN.
ALL RIGHT, RIGHT NOW -- RIGHT NOW WE'RE HEARING FOOTSTEPS RIGHT ABOVE US.
I TOOK OUT MY EMF DETECTOR TO MEASURE ELECTROMAGNETIC ENERGY LEVELS IN THE ROOM.
YOU GETTING ANYTHING ON THAT? HIGH NUMBERS CAN INDICATE A PRESENCE, AND THEY WERE CLIMBING.
DID YOU HEAR THAT? Shh.
I JUST HEARD A VOICE.
I HEARD ANOTHER -- Shh! THE AUDIO ON OUR CAMERAS PICKED UP AN UNEXPLAINED SINGING OR HUMMING, WHICH SOUNDS LIKE A MAN'S VOICE.
IT'S OUT HERE, MAN.
I KEEP HEARING ALL KINDS OF WEIRD -- LIKE, WEIRD LITTLE FOOTSTEPS.
YOU SCARED US PRETTY GOOD, BU WE'RE NOT LEAVING THIS TIME.
YOU WANT US OUT, YOU GOT TO HARM US.
IF THIS IS THE PORTAL TO HELL, WELL, WHY DON'T YOU COME UP OUT OF THAT GROUND AND COME AND GET US.
OH, MY GOD! WHAT? WHAT? TURN AROUND! TURN AROUND! THE ACTIVITY AT BOBBY MACKEY'S WAS GETTING HOT.
CLEARLY, THIS SLAUGHTERHOUSE TURNED NIGHTCLUB HAD MANY DARK SECRETS.
WE HEADED TO THE BASEMENT, SITE OF THE INFAMOUS WELL AND ONE OF THE MOST GRUESOME MURDERS IN KENTUCKY HISTORY.
SEE YA.
OKAY.
THIS WELL IS A PORTAL TO HELL, WHERE ALL THE EVIL SPIRITS THAT HAVE BEEN CAUSING ALL OF THE HARM HERE FOR PEOPLE FOR YEARS.
THEY ENTER IN AND OUT OF HERE THROUGH THIS PORTAL OVER HERE.
IS THERE ANYBODY HERE? WE'RE HERE FOR YOU.
WE'RE LOOKING FOR YOU.
MY NAME IS ZAK.
I GOT AARON AND NICK WITH ME.
AND YOU KNOW WHAT? WE DON'T FEAR ANY OF YOU.
IS THIS WHERE THE WELL IS? Groff: RIGHT IN HERE.
SO, THIS IS WHAT THEY CALL HELL'S GATE, HUH? SO, THIS IS WHAT THEY CALL HELL'S GATE, THIS WELL.
THIS IS THE WELL, GUYS.
THIS IS THE WELL THAT CARL, THE OLD MAINTENANCE GUY, DISCOVERED ONE DAY AND FOUND A PIECE OF A HUMAN SKULL.
HE FOUND A PIECE OF A HUMAN SKULL RIGHT HERE IN THIS GROUND.
AND, AS YOU CAN SEE, THEY HAD TO TEAR UP THE FLOORBOARDS TO REVEAL IT.
CARL ALSO STATED TO US THAT HE WISHED HE NEVER DISCOVERED THIS WELL, WHICH HE BELIEVES OPENED THIS BUILDING TO ALL ITS DEMONIC ATTACKS ON THE LIVING, INCLUDING HIS OWN, WHICH ENDED IN AN EXORCISM.
AND THIS IS WHERE WE WERE EARLIER, AND RIGHT THERE IS ONE OF OUR X's THAT WE'RE GONNA PLACE OUR NEX STATIC NIGHT-VISION CAMERA.
IS THERE SOMEBODY HERE? IF THIS IS A PORTAL TO HELL IF THIS IS THE PORTAL TO HELL, WELL, WHY DON'T YOU COME UP OUT OF THAT GROUND AND COME AND GET US? THERE.
ARE YOU IN HERE WITH ME? GUYS, I'M GONNA TRY TO -- TRY TO MAKE CONTACT HERE.
DUDE, I'M GETTING LIKE A BAD, BAD BURNING SENSATION ON MY BACK.
WHAT? LIKE IT'S BURNING.
LIKE, MY WHOLE BACK IS BURNING.
WHERE? JUST ON MY BACK.
LET ME SEE.
NO, THIS ISN'T A TINGLE.
THIS IS KIND OF LIKE A LITTLE BURN.
TURN AROUND.
AND I DON'T FEEL GOOD.
MY, LIKE -- AARON, SHINE HERE, TURN AROUND.
TURN AROUND.
I CAN'T SEE.
I JUST DON'T FEEL GOOD RIGHT NOW, GUYS.
Goodwin: YOU ALL RIGHT, MAN? NO.
I DON'T KNOW.
I DON'T KNOW.
I JUST -- I FEEL DIZZY, AND I JUST FEEL WEIRD.
IT'S JUST I FEEL BURNING RIGHT HERE.
I FEEL BURNING RIGHT HERE.
RIGHT HERE.
LIFT YOUR SHIRT UP.
IT'S, LIKE, BURNING.
IS THERE ANYTHING RIGHT HERE? NO? TURN YOUR -- I CAN'T SEE WITH THE NIGHT-VISION.
IT'S JUST BURNING.
THERE'S LIKE A BURNING SENSATION RIGHT HERE.
IT'S SOMEWHERE AROUND HERE.
OH, MY GOD! WHAT? WHAT?! TURN AROUND, TURN AROUND, TURN AROUND! WHAT?! JUST STAY THERE.
I NEED TO DOCUMENT THIS.
WHAT IS IT? STAY THERE.
WHAT IS IT?! STOP MOVING.
OKAY.
WHAT THE [BLEEP.]

SCRATCH.
HOLY [BLEEP.]
AARON, TURN YOUR NIGHT-VISION OFF.
WHERE? IT'S ON YOUR BACK, STRAIGHT DOWN YOUR SPINE.
ZAK, JUST HOLD YOUR SHIRT UP FOR A SECOND.
LET ME FEEL IT.
WHERE IS IT? IT'S RIGHT THERE IN THE MIDDLE.
YOU WANT ME TO TAKE A PICTURE OF IT? YEAH, TAKE A DIGITAL STILL.
KEEP YOUR CAMERA ON IT.
KEEP YOUR CAMERA ON IT.
KEEP MINE? TURN OFF THE NIGHT-VISION.
OKAY, WELL, TAKE A PICTURE OF IT, AND LET ME SEE WHAT THE [BLEEP.]
IT LOOKS LIKE.
ALL RIGHT.
IS IT LIKE A BITE? STAY THERE, STAY THERE.
HOLD STILL.
OH [BLEEP.]
THAT'S A LONG SCRATCH.
WHAT THE [BLEEP.]
DUDE? ARE YOU SERIOUS? HERE, HERE, HERE.
HERE, TURN BACK AROUND.
I NEED TO GET THIS ON THE NIGHT-VISION.
AARON, YOU GOT TO -- YOU DIDN'T BUMP NOTHING? NO, I WAS STANDING RIGHT HERE.
I WAS STANDING RIGHT HERE TALKING TO NICK.
I GOT IT OFF NIGHT -- ON NORMAL.
WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE? TURN AROUND.
WE NEED TO GET THIS ON CAMERA, MAN.
AARON, DO YOU GOT THAT? YEAH.
OH, DUDE.
DO YOU HAVE THAT ON YOUR CAMERA? LET ME SEE IT.
I WANT TO MAKE SURE WE GOT THAT.
I DON'T WANT TO -- NO.
YOU WANT TO GET OUT OF HERE? [BLEEP.]
OUT OF THIS AREA.
GET OUT OF THIS [BLEEP.]
GO SIT OUT HERE, DUDE.
I DON'T WAN TO [BLEEP.]
DO THIS.
HERE, FOLLOW HIM.
FOLLOW HIM.
YOU ALL RIGHT? WATCH YOUR HEAD.
NO, THAT [BLEEP.]
PISSES ME -- WHO THE [BLEEP.]
DID THAT, HUH?! DID SOMEONE JUST SCRATCH ME?! DUDE, IT'S BURNING AGAIN, GUYS.
I CAN'T -- LET ME SEE.
THESE SCRATCHES KEPT APPEARING AT THIS EXACT MOMENT WHILE OUR CAMERAS WERE ROLLING.
IS THERE MORE HAPPENING? IS THERE MORE HAPPENING? AARON, PUT YOUR CAMERA -- AM I BEING SCRATCHED RIGHT NOW?! WHO'S SCRATCHING ME?! I DO NOT -- OH, MY GOSH.
THERE WE GO.
YEAH, I GOT A GOOD SHOT OF IT.
HOLY [BLEEP.]
MAN.
IS IT BAD? THERE'S A COUPLE -- YOU GOT A COUPLE SCRATCHES.
OH, MY GOD.
WHAT THE [BLEEP.]
IS GOING ON? TAKE ANOTHER PICTURE OF IT, AND LET ME SEE.
DO SOME EMF.
IS THERE A [BLEEP.]
SOMETHING RIGHT HERE? HERE, HERE.
WHO'S DOING THAT TO ME?! KEEP YOUR CAMERA ON.
WHO'S SCRATCHING ME?! WHO'S SCRATCHING ME?! WHY DON'T YOU COME OUT HERE AND DO IT TO ONE OF THEM?! WE'LL TAKE A COUPLE PICTURES.
GUYS, THIS -- IT BURNS REALLY BAD.
I WANT TO GET OU OF THIS ROOM.
AT THIS EXACT TIME, WE CAPTURED A COUPLE DIFFEREN PIECES OF UNEXPLAINED PHENOMENA ON THIS CAMERA.
WATCH THE LEFT-HAND SIDE OF THE SCREEN AND YOU'LL SEE WHAT APPEARS TO BE A COUPLE GLOWING ANOMALIES MOVING DOWNWARD, THEN DISAPPEARING.
AND ALSO THIS ORB OF LIGH APPEARING TO SHOO STRAIGHT OUT FROM MY BACK WITH LIGHTNING SPEED.
GUYS, THIS -- IT BURNS REALLY BAD.
I WANT TO GET OUT OF THIS ROOM.
GET OUT OF THIS [BLEEP.]
ROOM.
GIVE ME THIS LIGHT.
GIVE ME THIS FLASHLIGHT.
GRAB MY CAMERA.
I'LL FOLLOW.
[BLEEP.]
THAT [BLEEP.]
YOU'RE DAMN RIGH I'M COMING FOR MORE! THIS WHOLE WALL HAS BEEN DOUSED WITH BLOOD.
YOU GUYS ARE PLAYING WITH FIRE.
I AM AN EXORCIST, AND I WOULD BE READY TO PERFORM AN EXORCISM.
I HAD JUST RECEIVED PAYBACK FOR TAUNTING EVIL SPIRITS.
I FEEL BURNING RIGHT HERE.
Groff: [BLEEP.]
OH, MY GOD! WHAT? WHO'S DOING THAT TO ME?! WHO'S SCRATCHING ME?! BUT WE WERE DETERMINED TO FINISH OUR INVESTIGATION OF THE BASEMENT.
I BET YOU'RE SAYING TO YOURSELF, "WOW, WHAT A TOUGH GUY THIS IS.
I SCRATCHED THE HELL OUT OF HIM, AND HE'S STILL COMING FOR MORE.
" WELL, YOU'RE DAMN RIGH I'M COMING FOR MORE! I WANT TO TALK TO THE PIECE OF [BLEEP.]
WHO SCRATCHED ME ON MY BACK 25 DIFFERENT TIMES! COME AND DO IT AGAIN! WHY DO YOU GOT TO DO I ON MY BACK?! DO IT ON MY FACE! SCRATCH AARON'S FOREHEAD! WHY IS IT ME?! BECAUSE I'M THE ONE TALKING ALL THE [BLEEP.]
I'M GONNA PLACE SOME CANDLES ALL AROUND HERE, AND I'M NOT PLACING THEM IN NO RITUALISTIC, SATANIC WAY.
RIGHT WHERE I'M STANDING RIGHT NOW IS WHERE THEY DID SACRIFICES ON ANIMALS, AND A LOT OF PEOPLE BELIEVE THEY DID HUMAN SACRIFICES IN THIS ROOM, TOO.
THIS IS THE WALL OF FACES.
USING OUR BLACK LIGHT, WE FOUND TRACES OF BLOOD DRIPS COVERING THIS ENTIRE WALL.
AND AS YOU CAN SEE, IT'S ALMOS LIKE THIS WHOLE WALL HAS BEEN DOUSED WITH BLOOD.
YOU CAN ACTUALLY SEE DRIP MARKS RIGHT HERE.
KEEP GOING.
IT GETS WORSE.
AND YOU KNOW WHA I ACTUALLY WANT TO DO? WHAT? CAN YOU LEAVE? I'LL STAY IN HERE BY MYSELF, AND I'M GONNA TRY SOME EVPs IN HERE.
YEAH, SURE.
TRY AND TALK WITH THE [BLEEP.]
WHO [BLEEP.]
SCRATCHED ME.
EVPs, OR ELECTRONIC VOICE PHENOMENA, ARE SPIRIT VOICES RECORDED ONTO DIGITAL DEVICES.
WHO SCRATCHED ZAK? CAN YOU SCRATCH ME? SCOTTY, YOU DOWN HERE WITH ME? SCOTT JACKSON, ALONZO! SCOTT JACKSON AND ALONZO WALLING WERE THE SATANIC WORSHIPERS WHO MURDERED SCOTT'S GIRLFRIEND, PEARL, AND THEN THREW HER DECAPITATED HEAD DOWN THE WELL JUST ABOUT 20 FEE FROM WHERE NICK IS SITTING.
WHEN THEY WERE HUNG, THEY STATED OUT LOUD THEY WOULD FOREVER HAUN THIS BUILDING.
WERE YOU THE ONES THAT SCRATCHED ZAK? PEARL, ARE YOU HERE WITH ME? [ INDISTINCT SPEAKING .]
Bagans: NICK CAPTURED THIS CHILLING EVP ON HIS DIGITAL RECORDER OF WHAT SOUNDS TO BE A FEMALE'S VOICE OR CRY, THEN A MALE VOICE SAYING, "PRECIOUS, NO.
" WE REGROUPED AND SET UP ANOTHER STATIC NIGHT-VISION CAMERA TO COVER THE OPPOSITE END OF THE BASEMENT.
DUDE, MY BACK STILL [BLEEP.]
HURTS.
LIKE, IT STILL BURNS BAD.
Goodwin: CAN'T BELIEVE IT.
CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT? JUST BEFORE WE WALK INTO FRAME, I THOUGHT I SAW SOMETHING IN THE CORNER OF MY EYE.
THIS WAS THE SAME SPOT WHERE, DURING THE WALK-THROUGH, WE SAW AN APPARITION.
WE IMMEDIATELY WENT RIGH TO THE AREA TO INVESTIGATE, BUT THERE WAS NOTHING THERE.
WE WERE TOTALLY UNAWARE THA OUR STATIC NIGHT-VISION CAMERA CAPTURED THIS UNEXPLAINED APPARITION.
AFTER ANALYZING THE FOOTAGE, WE ALSO NOTICED THIS FIGURE TO BE WEARING AN OLD COWBOY HAT.
IS THIS THE GHOS OF SCOTT JACKSON, WHO VIOLENTLY MURDERED HIS GIRLFRIEND, PEARL? I'M READY TO GET OUT OF HERE.
I'M READY TO GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE.
I DON'T LIKE THIS PLACE.
I HOPE WE NEVER COME BACK HERE AGAIN.
THERE IS -- THERE TRULY IS EVIL HERE.
THERE IS EVIL SPIRITS HERE.
I KNOW WHY THEY CALL THIS PLACE HELL'S GATE.
[ SIGHS .]
WHAT'S UP? HOW YOU GUYS DOING? UH, JUST WANT TO GET OU OF HERE, MAN.
[ LAUGHS .]
JUST WANT TO GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE.
AH, FREEDOM! THE DEMONIC ATTACK AT BOBBY MACKEY'S LED US TO CONSULT WITH A DIFFERENT KIND OF SPECIALIST -- BISHOP JAMES LONG OF ST.
CHRISTOPHER'S OLD CATHOLIC CHURCH.
I'M THE PRESIDING ARCHBISHOP FOR THE UNITED STATES OLD CATHOLIC CHURCH.
I STUDIED DEMONOLOGY.
I DO TRAVEL ALL OVER THE UNITED STATES TO PERFORM EXORCISMS, IF NEED BE.
WE JUST DID AN INVESTIGATION ACTUALLY HERE IN YOUR STATE HERE IN KENTUCKY AT A PLACE CALLED BOB MACKEY'S MUSIC WORLD.
HAVE YOU HEARD OF THIS PLACE? I HAVE.
I THINK THIS IS THE VERY FIRST TIME THAT I'VE ACTUALLY BEEN ATTACKED.
AND I'M NOT GONNA LIE TO YOU.
I DO USE PROVOCATION, AND I DO USE TAUNTING, BUT I THINK THIS TIME IT BACKFIRED ON ME.
SURE.
AND I GOT THESE SCRATCHES DOWN MY BACK.
THIS IS THE ACTUAL FOOTAGE -- THE RAW FOOTAGE.
YOU'LL SEE IT ONCE HE TAKES I OFF THE NIGHT VISION.
I DIDN'T BUMP INTO ANYTHING OR NOTHING.
WHAT YOU GUYS ARE DEALING WITH IS PRETTY DANGEROUS.
A FEW DAYS LATER, THIS WAS, LIKE, AFTER -- YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? THAT WAS THREE DAYS AFTER.
THREE MARKS IS THE MOCKING OF THE TRINITY, AND SO THAT'S WHY IT'S DEMONIC IN NATURE.
AND THE FAC THAT YOU WERE PROVOKING, THE FACT THAT YOU WERE IN, OBVIOUSLY, A PLACE WHERE DEMONIC ENTITIES ARE KNOWN TO EXIS AND ATTACK PEOPLE, IT LET YOU KNOW THAT IT'S THERE.
WE DID CAPTURE A BLACK SHADOW OF A MAN -- VERY, VERY VISUAL, VERY APPARENT -- IN THIS ONE CORNER OF THE BASEMENT.
THIS IS RIGHT AFTER I GOT SCRATCHED.
WATCH RIGHT OVER HERE, LEFT OF THE REFRIGERATOR.
OH.
AND THEN IT'S JUST GONE.
WELL, THERE'S NO DOUBT.
YOU ABSOLUTELY CAUGHT SOME TYPE OF APPARITION THERE.
IN MY OPINION, IT WASN'T DONE BY A HUMAN SPIRIT.
IT WOULD BE MORE OF A DEMONIC SPIRIT? I THINK SO.
ABSOLUTELY.
THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS, GUYS.
I AM AN EXORCIST, AND I WOULD BE READY TO PERFORM AN EXORCISM.
YOU GUYS ARE PLAYING WITH FIRE.
I UNDERSTAND THAT YOU ARE PROVOKING TO SHOW PEOPLE THAT, "HEY, THIS STUFF IS REAL," BUT I ADVOCATE THAT PARANORMAL INVESTIGATORS SHOULD STAY AWAY FROM PROVOKING BECAUSE THINGS OF THAT NATURE, LIKE YOU BEING SCRATCHED -- WHAT YOU RECEIVED WAS MINOR.
IS IT CRAZY IF I SAY THA I DON'T WANT TO STOP DOING IT? YOU'RE A TOUGH GUY, YOU'RE A STRONG GUY, BUT YOU -- YOU'RE THINKING ON A PHYSICAL LEVEL.
THE THING IS YOU'VE GOT TO ALWAYS REMEMBER, YOU'RE INVESTIGATING A SPIRITUAL LEVEL, NOT JUST A PHYSICAL LEVEL.
YEAH, YOU CAN HEAR BANGS ON THE DOORS, YOU CAN HEAR SCRATCHES.
THOSE ARE ALL PHYSICAL.
THOSE ARE OUTWARD MANIFESTATIONS.
BUT WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO ON THE SPIRITUAL LEVEL? BECAUSE THAT'S WHERE DEMONS ATTACK.
I JUST DON'T LIKE TO RUN FROM THINGS THAT I'M AFRAID OF, BUT MAYBE I DO NEED TO BE HUMBLED.
BUT WE'RE NOT GONNA STOP.
WE'RE GONNA KEEP GOING, AND WE'RE GONNA KEEP INVESTIGATING, AND I'M GONNA KEEP MY STYLE AND DO WHAT WE HAVE TO DO.
YOU KNOW WHAT, ZAK? PEOPLE TELL ME WHAT I'M DOING IS NOT SAFE FOR ME, EITHER.
SO YOU JUST -- IT'S A CALLING.
IF YOU FEEL LIKE YOU NEED TO GO OUT THERE AND SHOW PEOPLE THAT THIS STUFF EXISTS THIS IS JUST SOMETHING -- AND IT'S CRAZY TO SAY.
I JUST FEEL LIKE I WANT TO DO -- I HAVE TO DO.
KEEP MY NUMBER CLOSE TO YOU.
IF THERE IS A PLACE THAT HOUSES PURE EVIL, BOBBY MACKEY'S MUSIC WORLD CONTAINS IT.
SO, THIS IS HELL'S GATE RIGHT HERE, HUH?! WE FELT IT, WE SAW IT, AND WE HEARD IT.
[ THUDDING .]
NO! STOP! STOP RUNNING! IT IS UNFORTUNATE FOR THOSE WHO WERE VICTIMIZED BY THESE DEMONIC ENTITIES.
FOR ME, I DISCOVERED WHA HAPPENS WHEN YOU FACE THEM OH, MY [BLEEP.]
GOD WHAT IS IT?! AND TO PUSH THE LIMITS TOO FAR.
WHO'S SCRATCHING ME?! I NOW UNDERSTAND THE DANGERS INVOLVED AND STRONGLY BELIEVE WHAT LIES BENEATH THESE GROUNDS SHOULD HAVE NEVER BEEN DISTURBED.
YOU WANT TO DO HARM TO US? DO HARM TO ZAK.
RIGHT HERE FOR YOU.
DID YOU HEAR THAT? ZAK! ZAK! OH, MY GOD! WHAT IS IT?! STOP! STOP RUNNING! Bagans: MY NAME IS ZAK BAGANS.
I NEVER BELIEVED IN GHOSTS UNTIL I CAME FACE-TO-FACE WITH ONE, SO I SET OUT ON A QUES TO CAPTURE WHAT I ONCE SAW ONTO VIDEO.
HOLY [BLEEP.]
OH, MY GOD! WITH NO BIG CAMERA CREWS FOLLOWING US AROUND, I AM JOINED ONLY BY MY FELLOW INVESTIGATOR NICK GROFF AND OUR EQUIPMENT TECH, AARON GOODWIN.
THE THREE OF US WILL TRAVEL TO SOME OF THE MOST HIGHLY ACTIVE PARANORMAL LOCATIONS, WHERE WE WILL SPEND AN ENTIRE NIGH BEING LOCKED DOWN FROM DUSK UNTIL DAWN.
IF THIS IS THE PORTAL TO HELL, WHY DON'T YOU COME UP OUT OF THAT GROUND AND GET US? RAW.
I JUST SAW SOMETHING.
SOMETHING JUST PASSED BY.
EXTREME.
NO! GO! GO! THESE ARE OUR GHOST ADVENTURES.
-- Captions by VITAC -- CAPTIONS PAID FOR BY THE TRAVEL CHANNEL, L.

C.
ALL RIGHT, WELL, WE JUST GOT HERE.
WE'RE AT BOBBY MACKEY'S MUSIC WORLD, ALSO KNOWN AS HELL'S GATE.
WE'RE NOT HERE FOR THE MUSIC.
WE'RE HERE BECAUSE WE'RE GONNA TRY AND FIND OU WHY IN THE HELL THEY CALL I HELL'S GATE.
WILDER, KENTUCKY.
JUST OFF THE EASTERN BANK OF THE NORTH-FLOWING LICKING RIVER SITS ONE OF THE MOST HAUNTED PLACES IN THE UNITED STATES.
YOU READY, NICK? THIS FORMER SLAUGHTERHOUSE AND SPEAKEASY HAS CENTURIES-OLD CONNECTIONS TO ORGANIZED CRIME, MULTIPLE MURDERS, AS WELL AS SATANIC CULT ACTIVITY.
THERE'S A WARNING SIGN.
"THIS ESTABLISHMEN IS PURPORTED TO BE HAUNTED.
"MANAGEMENT IS NOT RESPONSIBLE AND CANNOT BE HELD LIABLE "FOR ANY ACTIONS OF ANY GHOSTS/SPIRITS ON THIS PREMISES.
" THAT IS A SIGN THAT I LIKE TO SEE RIGHT BEFORE WE GET LOCKED DOWN IN A LOCATION.
Hensley: THIS IS THE REAL McCOY.
THIS PLACE HAS NUMEROUS ENTITIES IN IT.
I'M TELLING THE TRUTH.
THIS PLACE IS HAUNTED.
AND THERE'S SO MUCH EVIL IN THIS ATMOSPHERE AND ON THESE GROUNDS, IT'S UNREAL.
THESE EVIL SPIRITS DATE BACK TO ONE OF THE MOST NOTORIOUS MURDERS THAT TOOK PLACE IN KENTUCKY.
IN 1896, A GIRL NAMED PEARL BRYAN WAS BEHEADED 2 1/2 MILES FROM HERE.
THE TWO MEN THAT MURDERED THIS GIRL AND BEHEADED HER, THEIR NAMES WERE ALONZO WALLING AND SCOTT JACKSON.
WHEN THEY FOUND HER HEADLESS BODY, THE BLOODHOUNDS TRACKED THE KILLERS TO THIS VERY SITE.
THEY SEARCHED THIS WHOLE AREA LOOKING FOR THE GIRL'S HEAD.
IT WAS NEVER FOUND.
IT'S THE CONTENTION THAT HER HEAD PROBABLY WASHED OU INTO THE LICKING RIVER.
BUT IT'S MY OPINION IT WAS GIVEN HERE AS A BLOOD SACRIFICE TO THE DEVIL.
THE SACRIFICE TOOK PLACE AT THE ABANDONED WELL, THE LAST REMNAN OF THE SLAUGHTERHOUSE, FORMERLY USED TO CHANNEL BLOOD FROM THE KILLING FLOOR.
IT IS NOW THOUGHT TO BE THE GATEWAY TO HELL ITSELF.
IT'S MY OPINION THA ALONZO WALLING AND SCOTT JACKSON ARE TWO OF THE GHOSTS HERE AT BOBBY MACKEY'S.
WHILE THESE TWO MEN WERE ON THE GALLOWS, WITH THE ROPES AROUND THEIR NECKS, ALONZO WALLING SAID THAT HE WOULD COME BACK AND HAUNT THIS AREA FOREVER.
THEY'VE BEEN IDENTIFIED BY NUMEROUS PEOPLE THAT HAVE HAD ENCOUNTERS HERE.
AMONG THOSE PEOPLE IS JANET MACKEY, BOBBY'S WIFE.
WE TRIED TO INTERVIEW HER ABOUT HER EXPERIENCE, BUT SHE WOULDN'T TALK TO US.
I ASKED WHY.
JANET DIDN'T BELIEVE IN GHOSTS.
JANET MACKEY, BOBBY'S WIFE, DID NOT BELIEVE IN GHOSTS.
MM-HMM.
WELL, THEN THE ENCOUNTERS STARTED WITH HER.
MM.
Mackey: JANET WAS UPSTAIRS IN AN OLD APARTMENT.
SHE HEARD A VOICE SAY, "GET OUT.
" SOMETHING TOOK CONTROL AND FORCED HER TO THE TOP OF THE STEPS, AND SHE NEVER WOULD COME IN HERE BY HERSELF.
DOES SHE STILL NEVER COME IN HERE BY HERSELF? NO, SHE HASN'T BEEN IN HERE IN SEVERAL YEARS.
SHE REFUSES TO COME HERE.
WHEN I GOT PHOTOGRAPHS FROM THE OLD KENTUCKY POST NEWSPAPERS, I BROUGHT THEM BACK TO JANET MACKEY, AND SHE IDENTIFIED ALONZO WALLING AS THE FORM OR THE SPIRIT THAT THREW HER DOWN THE STAIRS.
JANET STILL WON'T STEP FOO IN THE NIGHTCLUB, BUT WE GOT CARL, THE FORMER CARETAKER, WITH AN EVEN MORE SHOCKING STORY.
WE'VE HEARD THERE'S A LO OF DEMONIC SPIRITS HERE.
YES, THERE'S MORE THAN ONE.
THERE'S MANY OF THEM HERE.
Mackey: CARL USED TO LIVE IN THE APARTMENT UPSTAIRS.
HE STAYED HERE, BUT HE BLOCKED HIMSELF IN THE ROOM, SLEPT WITH A SHOTGUN.
I DON'T KNOW HOW HE LIVED LIKE THAT.
HE TOLD ME THAT EVERY MORNING, ABOUT 6:00, IT SOUNDED LIKE AN ARMY MARCHING THROUGH HERE.
THESE EVIL SPIRITS, DID THEY EVER GET TO YOU? YES, THEY DID.
Hensley: HE HAD BECOME DEMONICALLY POSSESSED, AND THE REVEREND GLENN COE SPENT SIX HOURS PERFORMING AN EXORCISM ON HIM BACK IN THIS OLD AREA HERE.
AND YOU WITNESSED THAT? I WITNESSED THE WHOLE THING.
I LAUGHED ABOUT THE IDEA WHEN THEY SAID EXORCISM.
I WAS LIKE, "BOO HA HA HA.
" RIGHT.
WELL, THIS VERY AREA RIGHT HERE WHERE I CAME TO, AND I HAD MY HANDS AROUND A PASTOR'S NECK, I KNEW NOT -- I HAD NO RECOLLECTION OF WHAT HAPPENED.
DO YOU THINK THA THE EVIL SPIRIT OR SPIRITS THAT POSSESSED YOU ARE STILL HERE AT BOB MACKEY'S? I FEEL THEM RIGHT NOW.
YOU DO RIGHT NOW? BUT, BY THE GRACE OF GOD THEY KNOW TO LEAVE ME ALONE NOW.
WHILE THE SPIRITS MAY KNOW TO LEAVE CARL ALONE, NUMEROUS EMPLOYEES AND PATRONS HAVE ALSO HAD EXPERIENCES WITH THE MALEVOLENT SPIRITS THAT LURK INSIDE THE NIGHTCLUB.
I WAS WASHING MY HANDS, AND RIGHT NEXT TO THE SINK WAS A METAL GARBAGE CAN.
AND I HAD MY HANDS RIGHT HERE, AND THE GARBAGE CAN WENT WHAM! SLAMMED RIGHT UP AGAINS THE WALL RIGHT THERE, RIGHT BEHIND ME.
AND I JUST TURNED DIRECTLY AROUND, AND THERE STOOD A MAN RIGH THERE WITH A HANDLEBAR MUSTACHE.
AND I'M LIKE, "WHAT IS THIS?" AND IT JUST -- AND THIS BATHROOM JUST GOT INTENSELY HOT.
AND THE WORDS -- I COULD HEAR THEM JUST AS PLAIN AS DAY LIKE I'M TALKING TO YOU, "DIE GAME, DIE GAME, DIE GAME.
" I WAS A NONBELIEVER, AND I GUESS I WAS BEING PROVOKED.
DO YOU HAVE ANY KIND OF EXPERIENCES, ANY KIND OF PARANORMAL EXPERIENCES HERE AT BOBBY MACKEY'S? I CAME IN HERE ONE DAY, THE JUKEBOX STARTED PLAYING.
AND I HAD WALKED OVER THERE.
IT WAS UNPLUGGED.
THE RECORD WAS GOING AROUND AND AROUND LIKE THERE WAS A RECORD ON IT, BUT THERE WAS NOTHING ON IT.
AND THE SONG THAT WAS ON THE JUKEBOX WASN'T EVEN ON THE JUKEBOX.
WHAT SONG WAS IT? IT WAS THE ANNIVERSARY WALTZ.
[ "ANNIVERSARY WALTZ" PLAYS .]
Mackey: I DIDN'T WANT PEOPLE TO THINK OF THIS AS SOME KIND OF HAUNTED GHOST PLACE.
I WANTED PEOPLE TO THINK OF I AS A COUNTRY-MUSIC PLACE 'CAUSE THAT'S ALL I'VE EVER DONE IS SING COUNTRY MUSIC.
NICK AND MYSELF ARE VERY BIG FANS OF THE SONG "JOHANNA.
" OH, GOOD, GOOD.
WE LOVE IT.
I LISTENED TO IT I DON'T KNOW HOW LONG AGO, AND I KEEP -- HOW MANY TIMES DO I KEEP SINGING IT? WAY BACK IN THE '30s, IN THE LITTLE TOWN OF WILDER THIS SONG ACTUALLY TELLS KIND OF THE DARK HISTORY ABOUT THIS BUILDING HERE, ABOUT YOUR BUILDING -- MAYBE THE PARANORMAL ACTIVITY HERE, AS WELL.
Hensley: BACK IN THE 1930s, A DANCE-HALL GIRL NAMED JOHANNA WAS PREGNANT BY A CROONER NAMED ROBERT RANDALL.
ROBERT RANDALL WAS MURDERED BY JOHANNA'S FATHER.
AFTER HER FATHER HAD ROBERT RANDALL KILLED, I THINK SHE POISONED HER FATHER AND COMMITTED SUICIDE HERSELF.
SHE LEFT A POEM UPSTAIRS IN THE SPOTLIGHT ROOM.
JOHANNA, JOHANNA WHERE ARE YOU NOW? COULD IT BE YOU'RE STILL HERE SOMEHOW? WE WROTE THE SONG IN PROBABLY 15 MINUTES.
BOBBY MACKEY -- HIS MOTHER NAMED HIM RANDY MACKEY.
AT 1 DAY OLD, SOMETHING CAME OVER BOBBY'S MOM, AND SHE CHANGED HIS NAME TO ROBERT RANDALL MACKEY.
THE CROONER THAT WAS MURDERED HERE WAS NAMED ROBERT RANDALL.
REINCARNATION, I DON'T BELIEVE IN.
IT'S VERY COINCIDENTAL THAT HIS NAME WOULD BE ROBERT RANDALL.
SOMETIMES I THINK DARK HISTORY HAS A WAY OF REPEATING ITSELF.
IF ANYTHING LIKE THA IS POSSIBLE, I CAN SEE THE CONNECTION.
I HAD CARL TAKE US UPSTAIRS TO SEE HIS OLD APARTMENT, WHERE MUCH OF THE ACTIVITY TOOK PLACE.
YOU KNOW HOW YOU WALK IN FRON OF AN AIR CONDITIONER OR YOU OPEN UP THE FREEZER ON THE TOP OF A REFRIGERATOR, THAT BURST OF COLD? YEAH, YEAH.
I WOULD FEEL THA ON THESE STEPS.
Bagans: YOU SAID THAT YOU, RIGHT NOW, CAN KIND OF SENSE THAT THESE SPIRITS MAY BE WATCHING ALL OF US RIGHT NOW? YES, I DO.
I KNOW THEY ARE.
I FEEL THEM REAL STRONGLY.
DO YOU THINK THEY'RE GONNA LIKE US? OR DO YOU THINK THEY'RE GONNA DISLIKE US BEING LOCKED IN THEIR TERRITORY? I THINK THEY'RE GONNA BE CURIOUS ABOUT YOU.
I THINK THEY JUST WANT TO SEE WHAT YOUR -- WHAT YOUR INTENTIONS ARE.
I WANT TO PROVOKE THE HELL OUT OF THEM.
I JUST WAN TO STAND UP TO THEM.
I MEAN, WHO ARE THEY? WHO ARE THESE SPIRITS TO BE BULLIES AND TO POSSESS YOU? I WANT TO TAUNT THE HELL OUT OF THEM.
I WANT TO PROVOKE THEM, GIVE THEM A TASTE OF THEIR OWN MEDICINE AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS WHEN WE DO THAT.
YOU DO THAT.
I WANT YOU TO.
I'LL PROVOKE THE [BLEEP.]
OUT OF THEM.
I WILL.
YOU SEE THAT ON THAT DOOR RIGH THERE, THAT AMERICAN FLAG? YEAH.
AND IT SAYS "GO AWAY!" THAT'S WHAT I USED TO TELL THEM AT NIGHT.
HAD TO DO SOMETHING, MAN.
WHEN YOU STAY HERE, TONIGHT WHEN I GO HOME, I'M GONNA PRAY FOR YOU AND YOUR CREW.
IT WON'T SURPRISE ME THAT IF YOUR CAMERAS BREAK, IF YOUR AUDIO AND VIDEO GOES OUT, BECAUSE EVERYBODY THAT'S EVER CAME HERE AND TRIED TO INVESTIGATE THIS HAS HAD VIDEO AND AUDIO PROBLEMS WITH THEIR FILM.
I FIRMLY BELIEVE THIS PLACE IS STILL HAUNTED.
I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT THERE IS VERY EVIL SPIRITS HERE.
AND I BELIEVE THAT YOU WILL ENCOUNTER THEM.
WOW, THAT REALLY MAKES THIS LOCKDOWN A LOT MORE INTERESTING, DOESN'T IT? THAT'S WHERE PEARL BRYAN'S HEAD WAS THROWN DOWN WHEN SHE WAS DECAPITATED.
WHOA.
YOU SCARED US PRETTY GOOD, BUT WE'RE NOT LEAVING THIS TIME.
YOU WANT US OUT, YOU GOT TO HARM US.
AFTER HEARING THE FIRSTHAND ACCOUNTS OF THE PARANORMAL ACTIVITY AND DEMONIC POSSESSION THAT TOOK PLACE INSIDE BOBBY MACKEY'S, I WAS DETERMINED TO CAPTURE EVIDENCE OF THEIR EXISTENCE DURING OUR LOCKDOWN.
AND WITH DUSK RAPIDLY APPROACHING, WE NEEDED TO IDENTIFY THE HO SPOTS FOR OUR INVESTIGATION.
THIS WAS THE OLD KITCHEN AT BOBBY MACKEY'S.
AFTER THE EXORCISM OCCURRED, THE ENTIRE WALL CAUGHT FIRE, AND THE FIRE DEPARTMENT HAD TO COME PUT THE FIRE OUT.
THEY COULD NOT EXPLAIN WHAT CAUSED THE FIRE.
THE OTHER HOT SPOT WOULD BE UP IN THE SPOTLIGHT ROOM AND THE CATWALK OVER TOP OF THE STAGE.
THERE'S NO TELLING WHAT'LL HAPPEN UP THERE.
I'VE SEEN PEOPLE COME FLYING OU OF THERE THAT'S GONE UP THERE.
I KEEP HEARING NOISES BACK THERE, OVER AND OVER AND OVER.
OH, YOU'LL HEAR IT.
SO, MAYBE -- AARON, MAYBE LET'S PUT AN "X" BACK THERE.
I JUST WANT TO SHOW YOU THIS IN THE BACK.
RIGHT UP HERE IS THE SPOTLIGH ROOM UNDERNEATH THIS BURLAP.
IT IS A VERY, VERY HOT SPO UP THERE.
THERE'S BEEN PSYCHICS THAT HAVE COME IN THERE AND HAVE GOTTEN VERY ILL.
ONE WOMAN GOT THROWN BACKWARDS AND RAN OUT OF THE BUILDING AND REFUSED TO EVER COME BACK IN IT.
PHEW.
WOW.
NOW, DOWN BY THE WELL, OVER AND TO THE RIGHT OF THE WELL ROOM IS A VERY HOT SPOT.
THE PSYCHICS BELIEVE THAT ALONZO WALLER AND SCOTT JACKSON'S SPIRITS STAY THERE A LOT.
I HAVE A FEELING WE'RE GONNA GE SOME ACTIVITY.
YOU'LL GET SOME HERE.
YOU'RE GONNA GET WHA YOU'RE LOOKING FOR.
YEAH.
I HOPE I DON'T GET TOO MUCH.
[ CHUCKLES .]
LEFT BEHIND FROM THE DAYS OF THE SLAUGHTERHOUSE, THE WELL WAS THE KEY TO THE HAUNTINGS AT THE CLUB.
MATT TOOK US AROUND BACK TO THE ONLY ENTRANCE INTO THE BASEMEN TO CHECK IT OUT.
RIGHT NOW, MATT'S GETTING READY TO TAKE US TO THE ROOM WHERE ALL OF THE DEVIL WORSHIPPERS USED TO PERFORM ALL OF THE RITUALS AND SACRIFICES.
YOU OKAY? HOLD ON JUST A SECOND.
I HAVE TO CHECK FOR THE BAT.
RIGHT NOW WE'RE CHECKING FOR BATS.
WHOA, WHOA, WHOA, WHOA, WHOA, WHOA.
THAT'S -- I JUST -- SEEN LIKE A SCREAMING FACE HERE, WITH AN EYE HERE AND AN EYE HERE.
I JUST SAW THAT.
THIS IS KNOWN AS THE ROOM OF FACES.
THE ROOM OF FACES.
LOT OF FACES IN IT? THERE'S A LO OF DIFFERENT FACES.
WE CAME IN HERE ONE NIGHT.
I WAS THE FIRST ONE DOWN HERE.
RIGHT IN THIS GENERAL LOCATION RIGHT HERE, THERE WAS A SATANIC CIRCLE THAT WAS GLOWING GREEN.
MM-HMM.
WELL, I HAD PUT MY HAND DOWN ON THE GROUND, AND THE FLOOR WAS HOT.
SO I THINK IT'S A REALLY GOOD IDEA IF WE PLACE ANOTHER "X" IN HERE, MAYBE IN THE CORNER.
LET'S COVER THIS WHOLE ROOM AND SEE IF WE CAN GET SOME STUFF, MAYBE SOME DARK MASSES.
STATUE OF JESUS HAS FALLEN OVER.
HIS HEAD'S RIGHT THERE.
WHAT THE HELL? THAT'S HIS HEAD.
THERE'S THE HEAD OF JESUS RIGHT THERE.
NOW, WHEN DID THAT HAPPEN? I DON'T KNOW.
AND THAT'S WEIRD FOR IT TO FALL AND JUST THIS BREAK OFF OF IT.
ESPECIALLY RIGHT IN FRON OF THE WELL ROOM.
THAT'S WHERE PEARL BRYAN'S HEAD WAS THROWN DOWN WHEN SHE WAS DECAPITATED.
WOW.
THE ROOM THAT WE'RE GONNA BE GOING INTO IS ACTUALLY THE OLDEST PAR OF THE BUILDING -- THE SLAUGHTER ROOM.
WOW.
SO THAT'S IT, HUH? YES.
WHAT IS LEFT OF THE WELL.
HOLY COW.
HOW FAR DID IT GO DOWN? I DO BELIEVE IT WAS, LIKE, 14 FEET.
MM-HMM.
AND THEN WENT FROM HERE TO THE LICKING RIVER.
MM-HMM.
NOW, THIS IS WHERE ALL THE BLOOD AND STUFF IN THE SLAUGHTERHOUSE -- YES, THEY'D FLUSH I DOWN INTO THE WELL, AND IT WOULD GO OU TO THE LICKING RIVER.
RIGHT BEHIND US, WE HAVE A STAIRCASE THAT GOES NOWHERE.
WELL, IT'S LED TO BELIEVE THA HERE'S YOUR PORTAL FROM HELL, THERE'S YOUR PORTAL TO HEAVEN.
REALLY? THERE'S A STAIRCASE BACK THERE THAT LEADS TO NOWHERE? RIGHT HERE.
THAT IS REALLY, REALLY WEIRD.
SO YOU HAVE YOUR TWO PORTALS OUT OF THIS WORLD.
THIS WELL, HELL'S GATE, I WANT TO SIT OVER HERE TONIGHT, 3:00 IN THE MORNING.
I WANT TO COME HERE AT 3:00 IN THE MORNING.
THAT'S ABOUT WHAT TIME SHE WAS KILLED.
WE'RE GONNA SET UP A CAMERA IN HERE.
AARON, DO YOU WANT TO COME OVER HERE AND BRING SOME DUCT TAPE? LET'S MARK AN "X.
" WHY DON'T YOU SET UP AN "X" ON THAT TABLE.
WE'RE GONNA PUT A TRIPOD THERE AND ANGLE IT DOWN INTO THE WELL.
OH, GOD, MAN, I'M GETTING WOW.
JUST FEEL REALLY, REALLY LIGHTHEADED RIGHT NOW.
SORRY, MAN.
THAT'S ALL RIGHT.
Goodwin: OH, I JUST SAW SOMETHING DUCK UNDER THE FRIDGE.
HAIR ON MY ARM'S STANDING UP BIG-TIME RIGHT NOW.
DID YOU JUST SEE THAT, TOO? YES.
LIKE A SHADOW OF A GUY? YES.
I JUST FEEL REALLY DIZZY.
I DON'T LIKE GOING BY FEELINGS.
BUT, MAN, OH, MAN, OH, MAN.
HANG ON, GUYS.
THERE WAS A BLACK SILHOUETTE OF A GENTLEMAN STANDING DOWN HERE.
HE MOVED.
I SAW SOMETHING MOVE RIGHT OVER HERE, TOO, UNDERNEATH THIS LEFT PAR OF THE REFRIGERATOR.
YEAH.
REAL QUICK, HE STEPPED LIKE THAT.
HOLD ON, HOLD ON.
SIR? IS THERE SOMEBODY HERE? IF YOU WANT US TO LEAVE, DO YOU WANT TO GIVE US A NOISE OR A SIGN AND TELL US TO LEAVE? ARE YOU THE ONE THAT BROKE THE HEAD OFF OF THAT STATUE OVER THERE? PHEW.
IT WAS CLEAR THE WELL WAS ACTING AS A VORTEX FOR THE EVIL SPIRITS.
IN THE PAST, IT CARRIED BLOOD AND GUTS FROM THE SLAUGHTERHOUSE TO THE NORTH-FLOWING LICKING RIVER.
WE HAD TO FIND THE CONNECTION.
DON'T COME DOWN STRAIGHT.
THERE YOU GO.
OKAY.
YEAH.
OH! YOU ALL RIGHT? YEAH.
UGH.
HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE.
COME HERE.
I'VE GOT IT.
PHEW.
GOOD THING I'M A STUNT MAN, TOO.
[ LAUGHS .]
NO, I THINK IT'S OVER MORE.
CAREFUL.
THERE IT IS.
THERE IT IS.
THERE IT IS.
UGH! FUN SEWER, DUDE.
YOU READY? PHEW.
Goodwin: WHOA.
Groff: HOLY [BLEEP.]
THIS IS CREEPY, MAN.
THIS IS GETTING CREEPY.
I KNOW.
YOU ALL RIGHT? COME ON.
I DON'T KNOW WHERE THE HELL WE ARE.
CAN YOU HEAR IT? Groff: YEAH.
THERE HAS TO BE AN OPENING.
DO YOU WANT TO GO UP FURTHER? ARE YOU SURE? DO YOU? I DON'T KNOW.
I'M HEARING ALL KINDS OF WEIRD -- LIKE, FEMALE? YES.
YEAH, I HEAR IT, TOO.
EXACTLY.
I HEARD LIKE A "WHOOOO.
" HERE, LET'S REWIND THE CAMERA BECAUSE I THINK I ACTUALLY CAUGHT IT ON MY CAMCORDER, THAT WEIRD THING.
WHEN WE CHECKED TO SEE IF THE VOICE WE HEARD WAS CAUGHT ON TAPE, OUR FINDINGS WERE INCONCLUSIVE.
DOUG HAD WARNED US OF PAST INVESTIGATORS HAVING EQUIPMENT TROUBLE, AND IT APPEARS WE ENCOUNTERED THE SAME PROBLEM.
OH, MY GOD! I FOUND IT! OH, MY GOD.
I FOUND THE WELL! I FOUND THE WELL.
IT'S RIGHT HERE.
DOES THIS KEEP GOING? NO.
YEAH, BUT IT TURNS IN RIGHT HERE.
THERE'S SOMETHING IN HERE.
STANDING AT THE BOTTOM OF THE WELL, WHERE MURDERERS DISPOSED OF PEARL BRYAN'S HEAD, SENT CHILLS DOWN MY SPINE.
OH, THIS SMELLS SO BAD.
OH.
OH, GOD.
OH.
NO! RUN! IT'S SO NASTY! MANY CULTURES HAVE COMBINED A RELATIONSHIP WITH WATER AND PARANORMAL.
THEY SAY THAT SPIRITS CAN'T CROSS FLOWING WATER, SO WE'RE ASKING OURSELVES, DOES THIS RARE NORTHERN CURREN OF THE LICKING RIVER, DOES THIS HAVE ANY INFLUENCE ON THE MANY CLAIMED EVIL SPIRITS THAT THEY SAY HAUN BOB MACKEY'S MUSIC WORLD? THAT'S WHAT WE'RE GONNA TRY AND FIND OU WHEN WE'RE LOCKED DOWN IN THERE LATER.
DID YOU HEAR THAT? HOLD ON.
IT WAS BEHIND ME.
YOU WANT TO DO HARM TO US? DO HARM TO ZAK.
RIGHT HERE FOR YOU.
WHOA, WHOA, WHOA, WHOA, WHOA.
ALL RIGHT, RIGHT NOW, WE'RE SETTING UP OUR EXTERIOR STATIC NIGHT-VISION CAMERA.
AND AS YOU CAN SEE, IT'S STILL POURING DOWN RAIN.
AND HE'S GOT A CHAIN.
BOY, YOU'RE REALLY MAKING SURE WE'RE NOT GONNA GET OUT OF HERE.
WE CANNOT GET INTO THE BASEMEN FROM THIS INSIDE AREA, SO WE'LL STAY HERE FROM DUSK UNTIL 2:00 A.
M.
, AND AT 2:00 A.
M.
, COME UNLOCK US OUT -- NICK, AARON, MYSELF.
THEN THE THREE OF US WILL WALK WITH YOU AROUND THE OUTSIDE OF THE BUILDING TO THE DOOR THAT LEADS INTO THE BASEMENT, AND THEN YOU'RE GONNA LOCK US DOWN AGAIN AT THAT TIME AND THEN COME BACK AND LET US OUT AT DAWN.
ARE YOU READY TO LOCK US IN HERE? OH, YEAH.
ALL RIGHT, DO IT.
[ CHUCKLES .]
WE'RE READY TO GE THIS INVESTIGATION STARTED.
YOU READY, NICK? WE'RE HERE! WERE YOU GUYS WAITING FOR US? 'CAUSE HERE WE ARE FOR YOU.
IT'S JUST THE THREE OF US, AND THAT'S IT.
SO, WE WANT TO MEET AND SEE ALL OF YOU WHO HAVE BEEN SCRATCHING PEOPLE AND THROWING PEOPLE DOWN STAIRS.
NOW'S YOUR CHANCE TO COME AND DO IT TO US 'CAUSE I THINK YOU'RE NOTHING BUT A BUNCH OF EVIL COWARDS.
THAT'S ALL YOU GUYS ARE.
THE ATTACKS AT BOBBY MACKEY'S WERE VIOLENT IN NATURE WITH ONE ENDING IN A DEMONIC POSSESSION.
BECAUSE WE WERE THE FIRST CREW TO BE LOCKED IN FOR AN ENTIRE NIGHT, WE KNEW TAUNTING WOULD BE THE BEST WAY TO DRAW OUT THESE SPIRITS.
IT FELT LIKE WE WERE SURROUNDED BY PURE EVIL.
YOU WANT TO DO HARM TO US? DO HARM TO ZAK.
RIGHT HERE FOR YOU.
YOU'VE BEEN HARMING EVERYBODY ELSE IN THIS CLUB.
YOU'VE BEEN HARMING PATRONS OF THE BAR, YOU'VE BEEN HARMING BOB MACKEY'S WIFE, CARL.
I WANT TO SEE WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT.
COME AND HARM ME.
I WOULD LATER REGRE THAT COMMAND.
WHEN WE INTERVIEWED PEOPLE EARLIER, A LOT OF THE PEOPLE THAT WORKED HERE WOULD SAY THAT THERE WAS A JUKEBOX THAT WAS RIGHT HERE, AND ALL THE TIME, THEY WOULD HEAR THIS JUKEBOX WITH NOBODY HERE PLAY BY ITSELF.
IT WOULD PLAY THE SONG "THE ANNIVERSARY WALTZ," AND IT WOULD ACTUALLY BE UNPLUGGED FROM THE WALL, AND THE SONG "ANNIVERSARY WALTZ" WASN'T EVEN IN THE JUKEBOX.
SO, WE THINK THA MAYBE A SPIRIT OR SPIRITS LIKED THAT SONG FROM A LONG TIME AGO.
WE DECIDED TO BRING OUR OWN PORTABLE RADIO AND PLAY A VERSION OF THE "ANNIVERSARY WALTZ" TO SEE IF WE COULD LURE SOME OF THE OTHER SPIRITS WHO MAY HAVE BEEN ATTRACTED TO THAT SONG.
[ "ANNIVERSARY WALTZ" PLAYS .]
WHOA, WHOA, WHOA, WHOA, WHOA, WHOA.
RIGHT HERE.
I AM FREEZING MY ASS OFF.
AARON, HOLD THE CAMERA UP TO ME.
LET ME SEE THE THERMOMETER.
GIVE ME THE THERM-- THE OTHER THERMOMETER.
WHOA.
FEEL MY ARMS.
SHINE ON MY ARMS.
TAKE THIS, ZAK.
ZAK, TAKE THIS.
OOH, OOH.
I AM, TOO.
I AM, TOO.
IT FEELS LIKE IT'S ON ME.
LOOK IT.
I'M FEELING IT, TOO, GUYS.
YEAH, YEAH, YEAH.
MY WHOLE FACE RIGHT NOW.
HERE.
LOOK AT YOUR HAIR STANDING UP.
IT IS VERY COMMON WHEN IN THE PRESENCE OF A SPIRI FOR YOUR BODY TO REAC WITH GOOSE BUMPS OR SEEING THE HAIR ON YOUR ARMS OR NECK STAND ON END.
AS WE STARTED TO PULL OU SOME OF OUR OTHER EQUIPMENT, NICK AND AARON HEARD AN UNEXPLAINED FEMALE VOICE.
[ INDISTINCT SOUND .]
DID YOU HEAR THAT? I DID JUST HEAR THAT.
HOLD ON.
SOUNDED LIKE A GIRL'S VOICE.
IT WAS BEHIND ME.
OUR AUDIO AND OUR NIGHT-VISION CAMERAS ALSO PICKED UP THIS UNEXPLAINED FEMALE VOICE.
JOHANNA, ARE YOU HERE? ASK HER IF SHE'S IN THE ATTIC OR SOMETHING.
JOHANNA, ARE YOU IN THE ATTIC RIGHT NOW, HIDING? WE THOUGHT THE FEMALE VOICE WE HEARD ON THE DANCE FLOOR MAY HAVE BEEN THE SPIRI OF JOHANNA WHO SADLY COMMITTED SUICIDE AFTER HER LOVER WAS MURDERED BY HER FATHER.
WE'RE GONNA GO UP IN THE ATTIC RIGHT NOW.
THERE'S ACTUALLY AN "X" -- WE PLACED AN "X" THERE EARLIER.
SO WE'RE GONNA GO PLACE ONE OF OUR STATIC NIGHT-VISION CAMERAS UP IN THE -- [ CREAKING .]
DID YOU HEAR THAT? YES.
I JUST HEARD THAT.
Shh, Shh.
I THINK IT WAS ACTUALLY COMING FROM UP HERE.
Goodwin: YEAH.
Shh.
OKAY, SO, AGAIN, WE'RE HEARING ALL KINDS OF NOISES, AND THEY KEEP COMING FROM THE ATTIC, SO I FEEL LIKE I NEED TO GO UP THERE AND STAY THERE BY MYSELF.
AND I'M GONNA WALK ALL THE WAY BACK INTO THAT LITTLE SECRET ROOM WHERE JOHANNA WROTE THAT LITTLE LOVE POEM ON THE WALL.
AND JOHANNA OBVIOUSLY IS THE ONE WHO COMMITTED SUICIDE HERE AND IS SAID TO HAUNT THIS PLACE.
GO AHEAD -- DO IT AGAIN! OH, NO! STOP! STOP! DO NOT RUN FROM THIS! WITH COUNTLESS UNEXPLAINED NOISES COMING FROM THE ATTIC, AND MANY WHO BELIEVE THE SPIRI OF JOHANNA RESIDES UP HERE IN A SECRET ROOM WHERE SHE WROTE A LOVE POEM BEFORE HER SUICIDE, I WANTED TO SEE IF I COULD MAKE A CONNECTION AND COMFORT HER.
[ GRUNTS .]
JOHANNA, ARE YOU IN HERE? I'M IN YOUR SECRET ROOM RIGHT NOW, SWEETIE.
I KNOW WHAT HAPPENED, JOHANNA.
I KNOW YOUR LOVER, ROBERT RANDALL, WAS MURDERED.
WHILE I WAS UP IN THE SPOTLIGHT ROOM, OUR STATIC NIGHT-VISION CAMERA PICKED UP THIS UNEXPLAINED CRYING NOISE.
IS THIS THE SPIRIT OF JOHANNA? JOHANNA, TELL ME WHY YOU'RE TRAPPED HERE.
AS I MADE MY WAY BACK DOWNSTAIRS TO MEET UP WITH NICK AND AARON, I HEARD SCREAMS FROM NICK AND FOUND HIM RUNNING OU OF THE MEN'S RESTROOM, WHERE THE GUY WE INTERVIEWED EARLIER, RITCH LAWSON, WAS VIOLENTLY ATTACKED BY A MALEVOLENT SPIRIT.
[ EXHALES SHARPLY .]
I WENT TO GO TAKE A PISS, AND THIS [BLEEP.]
JUST BANGED ON THE WALL LIKE SOMETHING WANTED ME OUT OF THERE -- TWICE! Goodwin: I HEARD THAT, DUDE.
Bagans: SHUT UP.
COME HERE, COME HERE.
THAT SCARED THE [BLEEP.]
OUT OF ME, AND I STILL HAVE TO BUTTON MY FLY UP.
THAT WAS [BLEEP.]
LOUD.
IS THAT YOU THAT MADE THAT NOISE? GO AHEAD -- DO IT AGAIN! GO AHEAD! YOU DON'T WANT ME IN THIS BATHROOM? BANG ON IT AGAIN.
OH, MY GOD, THAT SCARED THE LIVING [BLEEP.]
OUT OF ME.
THAT SCARED ME, TOO, BRO.
I'M SHAKING RIGHT NOW.
I WAS -- ALL RIGHT.
SO I WALK IN HERE -- DID YOU HEAR HOW LOUD THAT WAS? THAT WAS LOUD.
Shh.
I WALK IN HERE.
I GO TO TAKE A PISS.
ALL OF A SUDDEN YOU WANT TO HEAR HOW LOUD IT WAS? I HEARD, NICK.
I HEARD YOU SCREAM.
DUDE, I WAS SCARED.
IT WAS LIKE THIS.
NO, IT WASN'T EVEN THAT.
[ TAPS .]
NOPE.
WHAT THE [BLEEP.]
[ THUDDING .]
NO! STOP! STOP! STOP RUNNING! GO BACK IN.
DO NOT [BLEEP.]
RUN! GO BACK IN.
MOVE, MOVE, MOVE.
DO NOT RUN.
STOP RUNNING.
GO AHEAD, DO IT AGAIN! DO NOT RUN FROM THIS! WE'RE NOT RUNNING FROM YOU! DO IT! HIT THIS! COME ON -- DO IT! DO IT AGAIN.
ALL RIGHT, RIGHT NOW -- RIGHT NOW WE'RE HEARING FOOTSTEPS RIGHT ABOVE US.
I TOOK OUT MY EMF DETECTOR TO MEASURE ELECTROMAGNETIC ENERGY LEVELS IN THE ROOM.
YOU GETTING ANYTHING ON THAT? HIGH NUMBERS CAN INDICATE A PRESENCE, AND THEY WERE CLIMBING.
DID YOU HEAR THAT? Shh.
I JUST HEARD A VOICE.
I HEARD ANOTHER -- Shh! THE AUDIO ON OUR CAMERAS PICKED UP AN UNEXPLAINED SINGING OR HUMMING, WHICH SOUNDS LIKE A MAN'S VOICE.
IT'S OUT HERE, MAN.
I KEEP HEARING ALL KINDS OF WEIRD -- LIKE, WEIRD LITTLE FOOTSTEPS.
YOU SCARED US PRETTY GOOD, BU WE'RE NOT LEAVING THIS TIME.
YOU WANT US OUT, YOU GOT TO HARM US.
IF THIS IS THE PORTAL TO HELL, WELL, WHY DON'T YOU COME UP OUT OF THAT GROUND AND COME AND GET US.
OH, MY GOD! WHAT? WHAT? TURN AROUND! TURN AROUND! THE ACTIVITY AT BOBBY MACKEY'S WAS GETTING HOT.
CLEARLY, THIS SLAUGHTERHOUSE TURNED NIGHTCLUB HAD MANY DARK SECRETS.
WE HEADED TO THE BASEMENT, SITE OF THE INFAMOUS WELL AND ONE OF THE MOST GRUESOME MURDERS IN KENTUCKY HISTORY.
SEE YA.
OKAY.
THIS WELL IS A PORTAL TO HELL, WHERE ALL THE EVIL SPIRITS THAT HAVE BEEN CAUSING ALL OF THE HARM HERE FOR PEOPLE FOR YEARS.
THEY ENTER IN AND OUT OF HERE THROUGH THIS PORTAL OVER HERE.
IS THERE ANYBODY HERE? WE'RE HERE FOR YOU.
WE'RE LOOKING FOR YOU.
MY NAME IS ZAK.
I GOT AARON AND NICK WITH ME.
AND YOU KNOW WHAT? WE DON'T FEAR ANY OF YOU.
IS THIS WHERE THE WELL IS? Groff: RIGHT IN HERE.
SO, THIS IS WHAT THEY CALL HELL'S GATE, HUH? SO, THIS IS WHAT THEY CALL HELL'S GATE, THIS WELL.
THIS IS THE WELL, GUYS.
THIS IS THE WELL THAT CARL, THE OLD MAINTENANCE GUY, DISCOVERED ONE DAY AND FOUND A PIECE OF A HUMAN SKULL.
HE FOUND A PIECE OF A HUMAN SKULL RIGHT HERE IN THIS GROUND.
AND, AS YOU CAN SEE, THEY HAD TO TEAR UP THE FLOORBOARDS TO REVEAL IT.
CARL ALSO STATED TO US THAT HE WISHED HE NEVER DISCOVERED THIS WELL, WHICH HE BELIEVES OPENED THIS BUILDING TO ALL ITS DEMONIC ATTACKS ON THE LIVING, INCLUDING HIS OWN, WHICH ENDED IN AN EXORCISM.
AND THIS IS WHERE WE WERE EARLIER, AND RIGHT THERE IS ONE OF OUR X's THAT WE'RE GONNA PLACE OUR NEX STATIC NIGHT-VISION CAMERA.
IS THERE SOMEBODY HERE? IF THIS IS A PORTAL TO HELL IF THIS IS THE PORTAL TO HELL, WELL, WHY DON'T YOU COME UP OUT OF THAT GROUND AND COME AND GET US? THERE.
ARE YOU IN HERE WITH ME? GUYS, I'M GONNA TRY TO -- TRY TO MAKE CONTACT HERE.
DUDE, I'M GETTING LIKE A BAD, BAD BURNING SENSATION ON MY BACK.
WHAT? LIKE IT'S BURNING.
LIKE, MY WHOLE BACK IS BURNING.
WHERE? JUST ON MY BACK.
LET ME SEE.
NO, THIS ISN'T A TINGLE.
THIS IS KIND OF LIKE A LITTLE BURN.
TURN AROUND.
AND I DON'T FEEL GOOD.
MY, LIKE -- AARON, SHINE HERE, TURN AROUND.
TURN AROUND.
I CAN'T SEE.
I JUST DON'T FEEL GOOD RIGHT NOW, GUYS.
Goodwin: YOU ALL RIGHT, MAN? NO.
I DON'T KNOW.
I DON'T KNOW.
I JUST -- I FEEL DIZZY, AND I JUST FEEL WEIRD.
IT'S JUST I FEEL BURNING RIGHT HERE.
I FEEL BURNING RIGHT HERE.
RIGHT HERE.
LIFT YOUR SHIRT UP.
IT'S, LIKE, BURNING.
IS THERE ANYTHING RIGHT HERE? NO? TURN YOUR -- I CAN'T SEE WITH THE NIGHT-VISION.
IT'S JUST BURNING.
THERE'S LIKE A BURNING SENSATION RIGHT HERE.
IT'S SOMEWHERE AROUND HERE.
OH, MY GOD! WHAT? WHAT?! TURN AROUND, TURN AROUND, TURN AROUND! WHAT?! JUST STAY THERE.
I NEED TO DOCUMENT THIS.
WHAT IS IT? STAY THERE.
WHAT IS IT?! STOP MOVING.
OKAY.
WHAT THE [BLEEP.]
IS IT? IT'S A [BLEEP.]
SCRATCH.
HOLY [BLEEP.]
AARON, TURN YOUR NIGHT-VISION OFF.
WHERE? IT'S ON YOUR BACK, STRAIGHT DOWN YOUR SPINE.
ZAK, JUST HOLD YOUR SHIRT UP FOR A SECOND.
LET ME FEEL IT.
WHERE IS IT? IT'S RIGHT THERE IN THE MIDDLE.
YOU WANT ME TO TAKE A PICTURE OF IT? YEAH, TAKE A DIGITAL STILL.
KEEP YOUR CAMERA ON IT.
KEEP YOUR CAMERA ON IT.
KEEP MINE? TURN OFF THE NIGHT-VISION.
OKAY, WELL, TAKE A PICTURE OF IT, AND LET ME SEE WHAT THE [BLEEP.]
IT LOOKS LIKE.
ALL RIGHT.
IS IT LIKE A BITE? STAY THERE, STAY THERE.
HOLD STILL.
OH [BLEEP.]
THAT'S A LONG SCRATCH.
WHAT THE [BLEEP.]
DUDE? ARE YOU SERIOUS? HERE, HERE, HERE.
HERE, TURN BACK AROUND.
I NEED TO GET THIS ON THE NIGHT-VISION.
AARON, YOU GOT TO -- YOU DIDN'T BUMP NOTHING? NO, I WAS STANDING RIGHT HERE.
I WAS STANDING RIGHT HERE TALKING TO NICK.
I GOT IT OFF NIGHT -- ON NORMAL.
WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE? TURN AROUND.
WE NEED TO GET THIS ON CAMERA, MAN.
AARON, DO YOU GOT THAT? YEAH.
OH, DUDE.
DO YOU HAVE THAT ON YOUR CAMERA? LET ME SEE IT.
I WANT TO MAKE SURE WE GOT THAT.
I DON'T WANT TO -- NO.
YOU WANT TO GET OUT OF HERE? [BLEEP.]
OUT OF THIS AREA.
GET OUT OF THIS [BLEEP.]
GO SIT OUT HERE, DUDE.
I DON'T WAN TO [BLEEP.]
DO THIS.
HERE, FOLLOW HIM.
FOLLOW HIM.
YOU ALL RIGHT? WATCH YOUR HEAD.
NO, THAT [BLEEP.]
PISSES ME -- WHO THE [BLEEP.]
DID THAT, HUH?! DID SOMEONE JUST SCRATCH ME?! DUDE, IT'S BURNING AGAIN, GUYS.
I CAN'T -- LET ME SEE.
THESE SCRATCHES KEPT APPEARING AT THIS EXACT MOMENT WHILE OUR CAMERAS WERE ROLLING.
IS THERE MORE HAPPENING? IS THERE MORE HAPPENING? AARON, PUT YOUR CAMERA -- AM I BEING SCRATCHED RIGHT NOW?! WHO'S SCRATCHING ME?! I DO NOT -- OH, MY GOSH.
THERE WE GO.
YEAH, I GOT A GOOD SHOT OF IT.
HOLY [BLEEP.]
MAN.
IS IT BAD? THERE'S A COUPLE -- YOU GOT A COUPLE SCRATCHES.
OH, MY GOD.
WHAT THE [BLEEP.]
IS GOING ON? TAKE ANOTHER PICTURE OF IT, AND LET ME SEE.
DO SOME EMF.
IS THERE A [BLEEP.]
SOMETHING RIGHT HERE? HERE, HERE.
WHO'S DOING THAT TO ME?! KEEP YOUR CAMERA ON.
WHO'S SCRATCHING ME?! WHO'S SCRATCHING ME?! WHY DON'T YOU COME OUT HERE AND DO IT TO ONE OF THEM?! WE'LL TAKE A COUPLE PICTURES.
GUYS, THIS -- IT BURNS REALLY BAD.
I WANT TO GET OU OF THIS ROOM.
AT THIS EXACT TIME, WE CAPTURED A COUPLE DIFFEREN PIECES OF UNEXPLAINED PHENOMENA ON THIS CAMERA.
WATCH THE LEFT-HAND SIDE OF THE SCREEN AND YOU'LL SEE WHAT APPEARS TO BE A COUPLE GLOWING ANOMALIES MOVING DOWNWARD, THEN DISAPPEARING.
AND ALSO THIS ORB OF LIGH APPEARING TO SHOO STRAIGHT OUT FROM MY BACK WITH LIGHTNING SPEED.
GUYS, THIS -- IT BURNS REALLY BAD.
I WANT TO GET OUT OF THIS ROOM.
GET OUT OF THIS [BLEEP.]
ROOM.
GIVE ME THIS LIGHT.
GIVE ME THIS FLASHLIGHT.
GRAB MY CAMERA.
I'LL FOLLOW.
[BLEEP.]
THAT [BLEEP.]
YOU'RE DAMN RIGH I'M COMING FOR MORE! THIS WHOLE WALL HAS BEEN DOUSED WITH BLOOD.
YOU GUYS ARE PLAYING WITH FIRE.
I AM AN EXORCIST, AND I WOULD BE READY TO PERFORM AN EXORCISM.
I HAD JUST RECEIVED PAYBACK FOR TAUNTING EVIL SPIRITS.
I FEEL BURNING RIGHT HERE.
Groff: [BLEEP.]
OH, MY GOD! WHAT? WHO'S DOING THAT TO ME?! WHO'S SCRATCHING ME?! BUT WE WERE DETERMINED TO FINISH OUR INVESTIGATION OF THE BASEMENT.
I BET YOU'RE SAYING TO YOURSELF, "WOW, WHAT A TOUGH GUY THIS IS.
I SCRATCHED THE HELL OUT OF HIM, AND HE'S STILL COMING FOR MORE.
" WELL, YOU'RE DAMN RIGH I'M COMING FOR MORE! I WANT TO TALK TO THE PIECE OF [BLEEP.]
WHO SCRATCHED ME ON MY BACK 25 DIFFERENT TIMES! COME AND DO IT AGAIN! WHY DO YOU GOT TO DO I ON MY BACK?! DO IT ON MY FACE! SCRATCH AARON'S FOREHEAD! WHY IS IT ME?! BECAUSE I'M THE ONE TALKING ALL THE [BLEEP.]
I'M GONNA PLACE SOME CANDLES ALL AROUND HERE, AND I'M NOT PLACING THEM IN NO RITUALISTIC, SATANIC WAY.
RIGHT WHERE I'M STANDING RIGHT NOW IS WHERE THEY DID SACRIFICES ON ANIMALS, AND A LOT OF PEOPLE BELIEVE THEY DID HUMAN SACRIFICES IN THIS ROOM, TOO.
THIS IS THE WALL OF FACES.
USING OUR BLACK LIGHT, WE FOUND TRACES OF BLOOD DRIPS COVERING THIS ENTIRE WALL.
AND AS YOU CAN SEE, IT'S ALMOS LIKE THIS WHOLE WALL HAS BEEN DOUSED WITH BLOOD.
YOU CAN ACTUALLY SEE DRIP MARKS RIGHT HERE.
KEEP GOING.
IT GETS WORSE.
AND YOU KNOW WHA I ACTUALLY WANT TO DO? WHAT? CAN YOU LEAVE? I'LL STAY IN HERE BY MYSELF, AND I'M GONNA TRY SOME EVPs IN HERE.
YEAH, SURE.
TRY AND TALK WITH THE [BLEEP.]
WHO [BLEEP.]
SCRATCHED ME.
EVPs, OR ELECTRONIC VOICE PHENOMENA, ARE SPIRIT VOICES RECORDED ONTO DIGITAL DEVICES.
WHO SCRATCHED ZAK? CAN YOU SCRATCH ME? SCOTTY, YOU DOWN HERE WITH ME? SCOTT JACKSON, ALONZO! SCOTT JACKSON AND ALONZO WALLING WERE THE SATANIC WORSHIPERS WHO MURDERED SCOTT'S GIRLFRIEND, PEARL, AND THEN THREW HER DECAPITATED HEAD DOWN THE WELL JUST ABOUT 20 FEE FROM WHERE NICK IS SITTING.
WHEN THEY WERE HUNG, THEY STATED OUT LOUD THEY WOULD FOREVER HAUN THIS BUILDING.
WERE YOU THE ONES THAT SCRATCHED ZAK? PEARL, ARE YOU HERE WITH ME? [ INDISTINCT SPEAKING .]
Bagans: NICK CAPTURED THIS CHILLING EVP ON HIS DIGITAL RECORDER OF WHAT SOUNDS TO BE A FEMALE'S VOICE OR CRY, THEN A MALE VOICE SAYING, "PRECIOUS, NO.
" WE REGROUPED AND SET UP ANOTHER STATIC NIGHT-VISION CAMERA TO COVER THE OPPOSITE END OF THE BASEMENT.
DUDE, MY BACK STILL [BLEEP.]
HURTS.
LIKE, IT STILL BURNS BAD.
Goodwin: CAN'T BELIEVE IT.
CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT? JUST BEFORE WE WALK INTO FRAME, I THOUGHT I SAW SOMETHING IN THE CORNER OF MY EYE.
THIS WAS THE SAME SPOT WHERE, DURING THE WALK-THROUGH, WE SAW AN APPARITION.
WE IMMEDIATELY WENT RIGH TO THE AREA TO INVESTIGATE, BUT THERE WAS NOTHING THERE.
WE WERE TOTALLY UNAWARE THA OUR STATIC NIGHT-VISION CAMERA CAPTURED THIS UNEXPLAINED APPARITION.
AFTER ANALYZING THE FOOTAGE, WE ALSO NOTICED THIS FIGURE TO BE WEARING AN OLD COWBOY HAT.
IS THIS THE GHOS OF SCOTT JACKSON, WHO VIOLENTLY MURDERED HIS GIRLFRIEND, PEARL? I'M READY TO GET OUT OF HERE.
I'M READY TO GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE.
I DON'T LIKE THIS PLACE.
I HOPE WE NEVER COME BACK HERE AGAIN.
THERE IS -- THERE TRULY IS EVIL HERE.
THERE IS EVIL SPIRITS HERE.
I KNOW WHY THEY CALL THIS PLACE HELL'S GATE.
[ SIGHS .]
WHAT'S UP? HOW YOU GUYS DOING? UH, JUST WANT TO GET OU OF HERE, MAN.
[ LAUGHS .]
JUST WANT TO GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE.
AH, FREEDOM! THE DEMONIC ATTACK AT BOBBY MACKEY'S LED US TO CONSULT WITH A DIFFERENT KIND OF SPECIALIST -- BISHOP JAMES LONG OF ST.
CHRISTOPHER'S OLD CATHOLIC CHURCH.
I'M THE PRESIDING ARCHBISHOP FOR THE UNITED STATES OLD CATHOLIC CHURCH.
I STUDIED DEMONOLOGY.
I DO TRAVEL ALL OVER THE UNITED STATES TO PERFORM EXORCISMS, IF NEED BE.
WE JUST DID AN INVESTIGATION ACTUALLY HERE IN YOUR STATE HERE IN KENTUCKY AT A PLACE CALLED BOB MACKEY'S MUSIC WORLD.
HAVE YOU HEARD OF THIS PLACE? I HAVE.
I THINK THIS IS THE VERY FIRST TIME THAT I'VE ACTUALLY BEEN ATTACKED.
AND I'M NOT GONNA LIE TO YOU.
I DO USE PROVOCATION, AND I DO USE TAUNTING, BUT I THINK THIS TIME IT BACKFIRED ON ME.
SURE.
AND I GOT THESE SCRATCHES DOWN MY BACK.
THIS IS THE ACTUAL FOOTAGE -- THE RAW FOOTAGE.
YOU'LL SEE IT ONCE HE TAKES I OFF THE NIGHT VISION.
I DIDN'T BUMP INTO ANYTHING OR NOTHING.
WHAT YOU GUYS ARE DEALING WITH IS PRETTY DANGEROUS.
A FEW DAYS LATER, THIS WAS, LIKE, AFTER -- YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? THAT WAS THREE DAYS AFTER.
THREE MARKS IS THE MOCKING OF THE TRINITY, AND SO THAT'S WHY IT'S DEMONIC IN NATURE.
AND THE FAC THAT YOU WERE PROVOKING, THE FACT THAT YOU WERE IN, OBVIOUSLY, A PLACE WHERE DEMONIC ENTITIES ARE KNOWN TO EXIS AND ATTACK PEOPLE, IT LET YOU KNOW THAT IT'S THERE.
WE DID CAPTURE A BLACK SHADOW OF A MAN -- VERY, VERY VISUAL, VERY APPARENT -- IN THIS ONE CORNER OF THE BASEMENT.
THIS IS RIGHT AFTER I GOT SCRATCHED.
WATCH RIGHT OVER HERE, LEFT OF THE REFRIGERATOR.
OH.
AND THEN IT'S JUST GONE.
WELL, THERE'S NO DOUBT.
YOU ABSOLUTELY CAUGHT SOME TYPE OF APPARITION THERE.
IN MY OPINION, IT WASN'T DONE BY A HUMAN SPIRIT.
IT WOULD BE MORE OF A DEMONIC SPIRIT? I THINK SO.
ABSOLUTELY.
THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS, GUYS.
I AM AN EXORCIST, AND I WOULD BE READY TO PERFORM AN EXORCISM.
YOU GUYS ARE PLAYING WITH FIRE.
I UNDERSTAND THAT YOU ARE PROVOKING TO SHOW PEOPLE THAT, "HEY, THIS STUFF IS REAL," BUT I ADVOCATE THAT PARANORMAL INVESTIGATORS SHOULD STAY AWAY FROM PROVOKING BECAUSE THINGS OF THAT NATURE, LIKE YOU BEING SCRATCHED -- WHAT YOU RECEIVED WAS MINOR.
IS IT CRAZY IF I SAY THA I DON'T WANT TO STOP DOING IT? YOU'RE A TOUGH GUY, YOU'RE A STRONG GUY, BUT YOU -- YOU'RE THINKING ON A PHYSICAL LEVEL.
THE THING IS YOU'VE GOT TO ALWAYS REMEMBER, YOU'RE INVESTIGATING A SPIRITUAL LEVEL, NOT JUST A PHYSICAL LEVEL.
YEAH, YOU CAN HEAR BANGS ON THE DOORS, YOU CAN HEAR SCRATCHES.
THOSE ARE ALL PHYSICAL.
THOSE ARE OUTWARD MANIFESTATIONS.
BUT WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO ON THE SPIRITUAL LEVEL? BECAUSE THAT'S WHERE DEMONS ATTACK.
I JUST DON'T LIKE TO RUN FROM THINGS THAT I'M AFRAID OF, BUT MAYBE I DO NEED TO BE HUMBLED.
BUT WE'RE NOT GONNA STOP.
WE'RE GONNA KEEP GOING, AND WE'RE GONNA KEEP INVESTIGATING, AND I'M GONNA KEEP MY STYLE AND DO WHAT WE HAVE TO DO.
YOU KNOW WHAT, ZAK? PEOPLE TELL ME WHAT I'M DOING IS NOT SAFE FOR ME, EITHER.
SO YOU JUST -- IT'S A CALLING.
IF YOU FEEL LIKE YOU NEED TO GO OUT THERE AND SHOW PEOPLE THAT THIS STUFF EXISTS THIS IS JUST SOMETHING -- AND IT'S CRAZY TO SAY.
I JUST FEEL LIKE I WANT TO DO -- I HAVE TO DO.
KEEP MY NUMBER CLOSE TO YOU.
IF THERE IS A PLACE THAT HOUSES PURE EVIL, BOBBY MACKEY'S MUSIC WORLD CONTAINS IT.
SO, THIS IS HELL'S GATE RIGHT HERE, HUH?! WE FELT IT, WE SAW IT, AND WE HEARD IT.
[ THUDDING .]
NO! STOP! STOP RUNNING! IT IS UNFORTUNATE FOR THOSE WHO WERE VICTIMIZED BY THESE DEMONIC ENTITIES.
FOR ME, I DISCOVERED WHA HAPPENS WHEN YOU FACE THEM OH, MY [BLEEP.]
GOD WHAT IS IT?! AND TO PUSH THE LIMITS TOO FAR.
WHO'S SCRATCHING ME?! I NOW UNDERSTAND THE DANGERS INVOLVED AND STRONGLY BELIEVE WHAT LIES BENEATH THESE GROUNDS SHOULD HAVE NEVER BEEN DISTURBED.
