Ghosts of Shepherdstown (2016) s01e02 Episode Script

1 [ TELEPHONE RINGS .]
MAN: Shepherdstown police.
[ SIRENS WAIL .]
[ Ringing .]
PERFECT, I'LL SEE YOU THERE.
King: SHEPHERDSTOWN.
WE'RE A SMALL TOWN, VERY OLD TOWN.
BUT THIS ISN' YOUR AVERAGE SMALL TOWN.
YOU CAN ASK THE LOCALS.
THEY'LL TELL YOU THA THIS IS THE MOST HAUNTED TOWN IN THE COUNTRY.
THERE'S A LEVEL OF HYSTERIA IN THEIR VOICE.
THEY'RE SHOOK UP.
YOU KNOW, IT'S REAL, WHAT'S HAPPENING.
I'VE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS IN 35 YEARS OF POLICE WORK.
RECENTLY, THERE'S BEEN A SIGNIFICANT INCREASE OF UNUSUAL CALLS.
SO MANY CALLS THAT THEY HAVE ESCALATED TO THE POIN WHERE OUR DEPARTMENT'S OVERWHELMED WITH THEM.
SO I'VE ACTUALLY HAD TO DO WHAT NO OTHER POLICE DEPARTMENT'S DONE BEFORE.
I'VE ASSEMBLED SOME OF THE BEST PARANORMAL INVESTIGATORS IN THE COUNTRY TO COME IN AND ASSIST US WITH THESE TYPE OF UNUSUAL CASES.
COME HELL OR HIGH WATER, WE ARE GONNA PUT AN END TO WHAT'S TERRORIZING OUR TOWN.
-- Captions by VITAC -- CAPTIONS PAID FOR BY DISCOVERY COMMUNICATIONS Hartley: WE GOT A CALL FROM SERGEANT KING ABOUT A HOUSE OVER ON OLD PROSPECT AVENUE.
AND I'M ON MY WAY TO PICK UP ELIZABETH SO WE CAN GO OUT THERE.
ALL RIGHT.
SO WHAT'S GOING ON? Hartley: GOT A MESSAGE FROM SERGEANT KING ABOUT SOME ACTIVITY GOING ON IN A HOUSE NOT TOO FAR FROM HERE.
IT HAD TO BE SOMETHING UNUSUAL FOR HIM TO CALL US.
I DOUBT IT'S JUS A ROVING 11-YEAR-OLD THAT JUST HAPPENED TO FIND A WAY IN A HOUSE.
THAT'D BE HIS JOB, NOT OURS.
RIGHT.
LET'S GO CHECK IT OUT, THEN.
LET'S DO IT.
Saint: I'VE ACTUALLY HAD PARANORMAL EXPERIENCES AS A SENSITIVE, EVER SINCE I WAS A CHILD.
AND TO FEEL CONNECTED WITH A SPIRI IS TO REALLY JUST BE IN TUNE WITH THEM.
YOU KNOW, IF THEY'RE FEELING SAD, IF THEY'RE FEELING ANGRY, ANXIOUS, I AM PICKING UP ON ALL OF THOSE EMOTIONS, ALL OF THOSE FEELINGS.
AND I AM ALSO FEELING THEM.
IT'S DEFINITELY A WAY FOR THEM TO COMMUNICATE WITH US.
I'VE BEEN HITTING THE COFFEE A LITTLE HEAVY JUST TO MAKE SURE I'M KEEPING MY EYES OPEN FOR EVERYTHING.
YOU DIDN'T WANT TO BRING ME ONE? SELFISH.
THAT'S SELFISH.
I'VE BEEN PARANORMAL INVESTIGATING FOR NINE YEARS NOW.
I ACTUALLY STARTED PARANORMAL INVESTIGATING WHILE I WAS A CIVIL WAR REENACTOR.
WE ACTUALLY SAW AN APPARITION WALK AROUND OUR MEN.
AND THEN I WAS HOOKED.
I REALLY JUST WANTED TO GET INTO INVESTIGATING.
I'VE INVESTIGATED SEVERAL INDIVIDUAL PLACES, HOMES AND BUSINESSES.
BUT THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I'VE ACTUALLY GONE AND INVESTIGATED AN ENTIRE TOWN.
THIS IS IT.
HEY, GUYS.
THANKS FOR COMING.
NO PROBLEM.
I'VE BEEN THROUGH THE HOUSE.
THERE'S NO LITTLE GIRLS IN THE HOUSE.
SO I CAN'T TELL YOU WHAT IT IS, WHAT'S GOING ON IN THERE.
SEEMS TO BE A PARANORMAL CASE.
SO I'M GONNA GET ROLLING.
SURE.
IF YOU GUYS NEED ANYTHING, PLEASE GIVE ME A CALL.
NO PROBLEM, WE'LL TAKE IT FROM HERE.
Saint: THANKS, MIKE.
I'M GONNA GRAB SOME STUFF FROM THE TRUCK.
OKAY.
NICOLE? Nicole: YEAH.
HOW YOU DOING? I'M BILL.
GOOD TO MEET YOU.
SO YOU WERE THE ONLY ONE HERE, RIGHT? YEAH.
SCHOOL'S OUT, AND I'M THE ONLY ONE STAYING HERE.
MY GUIDANCE COUNSELOR GAVE ME AN EXTRA WEEK TO FINISH UP MY TWO FINAL EXAMS.
SO, TELL US WHAT HAPPENED TONIGHT.
Nicole: I WAS STUDYING.
I REALIZED HOW LATE IT WAS GETTING, SO I TOOK OFF MY GLASSES AND WENT TO SLEEP.
AND I SORT OF WOKE UP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT.
AND THEN I HEARD A -- A LITTLE GIRL'S VOICE IN THE HALLWAY WHICH WAS REALLY STRANGE BECAUSE I'M THE ONLY ONE STAYING HERE AT THE HOUSE.
SO I REACHED FOR MY GLASSES, BUT THEY WEREN'T THERE.
THEY WERE GONE.
I OPENED MY DOOR.
THERE WAS KIND OF A COLD SENSATION.
AND I CALLED OUT TO HER.
HELLO? AND THAT'S WHEN SHE HEADED FOR THE STAIRS.
AND WHEN SHE WAS FACING ME, SHE -- IT WAS VERY, LIKE, ALMOST LIKE HER EYES WERE HOLLOWED OUT.
BY THE TIME I GO AROUND THE CORNER OF THE STAIRS, SHE WAS GONE.
I CHECKED THE DOOR, AND IT WAS LOCKED.
BUT THE BASEMENT DOOR WAS OPEN.
[ DOOR CREAKS .]
IT WAS SO DARK.
I STARTED TO PANIC.
I'VE JUST BEEN HAVING SO MUCH STRESS AND ANXIETY LATELY THAT I'M NOT REALLY SURE WHAT'S REAL AND WHAT'S NOT ANYMORE.
RELAX AND CALM DOWN.
IT'LL BE FINE.
WE'RE GONNA DO OUR OWN SWEEP.
COULD VERY WELL HAVE BEEN A NEIGHBORHOOD KID THAT GOT IN THEN GOT OUT.
RIGHT.
SO WE'RE GONNA ELIMINATE WHAT WE CAN, AND WE'LL COME BACK AND TALK WITH YA.
OKAY.
Hartley: I FEEL TERRIBLE FOR NICOLE.
THE STUFF THAT'S HAPPENING IN THAT HOUSE IS MAKING I SO SHE CAN'T STUDY AND SHE CAN'T CONCENTRATE AND CAN'T EVEN SLEEP.
IF WE CAN HELP HER FIGURE OU WHAT'S GOING ON, THEN WE CAN FIND HER SOME PEACE.
I'M ASSUMING THIS IS HER ROOM.
THE EMF IN THIS ROOM IS FLAT.
YEAH.
THERE'S REALLY NOTHING ANYWHERE.
WHEN YOU ACTUALLY OPEN AND SHUT THE DOOR, IT DOES PULL IN AN ACTUAL BREEZE.
SO SHE COULD BE EXPERIENCING COLD SPOTS FROM THAT.
THERE IS, A LOT OF TIMES, MORE RATIONAL, EARTHBOUND REASONS FOR THINGS THAT HAPPEN.
MY JOB IS LITERALLY TO SEPARATE FACT FROM FICTION.
THIS MUST BE THE BASEMENT DOOR.
WHAT? IT LOOKS LIKE A SALT LINE.
DID SHE MENTION ANYTHING ABOUT THIS? SHE DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING ABOUT SALT.
SALT EITHER WILL KEEP AWAY OR KEEP OU THE SPIRITS OR DEMONS.
SO I'M KIND OF WONDERING IF SOMEONE IN THIS HOUSE WAS TRYING TO PREVENT SOMETHING FROM COMING UP THE STEPS.
BILL TO NICK.
GROFF: Yeah.
What's up, Bill? HEY, NICK.
WE'RE OVER AT OLD PROSPECT.
AND THERE'S SOME WEIRD STUFF GOING ON DOWN HERE.
YOU WANT TO COME JOIN US? Saint: I FEEL LIKE THERE'S SOMEONE BACK HERE.
I FEEL A LITTLE LIKE, UH I'M FEELING ITS SADNESS.
THERE'S SOMETHING REALLY BIZARRE BACK HERE YOU SHOULD LOOK AT.
IT'S LIKE SOME SORT OF A KNICKKNACK COLLECTION ALMOST.
IS THAT HER GLASSES? [ CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKING .]
I MEAN, THIS IS WEIRD.
WE DEFINITELY HAVE TO ASK NICOLE IF THOSE ARE HER GLASSES OR NOT.
YOU HEARING THAT? YEAH.
THERE'S WATER FLOWING THROUGH THE PIPES.
WE'RE THE ONLY ONES IN THE HOUSE.
[ WATER FLOWING .]
HEY, NICK, WHEN YOU COME IN, CHECK TO SEE IF YOU CAN FIND A SOURCE FOR THE RUNNING WATER.
Groff: I JUST GOT HERE, AND I CAME IN THE HOUSE.
CHECK THIS OUT.
OH, MY GOD.
HOW COULD THIS JUS BE TURNED ON? GROFF: Can you come up here? I JUST GOT HERE, AND I CAME IN THE HOUSE.
CHECK THIS OUT.
Saint: THIS IS JUST ON BY ITSELF? YEAH.
DID YOU GUYS TURN THAT ON? NO! Hartley: NO WAY, DUDE.
WHEN YOU GUYS WERE GOING THROUGH THE BASEMENT, WHAT WAS THE EMF LEVEL? ZERO.
ZERO THE ENTIRE TIME.
NOTHING.
TURN THIS OFF.
WHAT COULD BE CAUSING THAT? I DON'T KNOW.
LIKE, GIVE ME A LOGICAL EXPLANATION, 'CAUSE THAT'S A WEIRD PHENOMENA.
WE FOUND SOME REALLY STRANGE THINGS, ONE OF THEM BEING A BUNCH OF SALT LINES.
REALLY? WE FOUND THIS REALLY WEIRD DOOR DOWN THERE, AND THERE WAS A PAIR OF GLASSES, LIKE, RIGHT UNDER IT.
COULD IT BE NICOLE'S GLASSES, SINCE HERS DISAPPEARED FROM THE BEDROOM? WE OPENED UP THAT DOOR.
AND THERE WAS ALL KINDS OF LITTLE KNICKKNACK-Y THINGS.
THIS -- IT ACTUALLY SOUNDS LIKE THE TUB IS ACTUALLY TRYING TO COME ON AGAIN.
THERE IT IS.
YOU GOT IT? DID YOU GET THAT? IT JUST CAME ON.
WHAT? AND IT'S GONE.
OH, MY GOD.
CAN I GET IN THERE? 'CAUSE THAT SEEMS LIKE SOMETHING THAT WOULDN'T JUST NOW HAPPEN FOR US.
RIGHT.
I WAS LITERALLY GOING TO THE BATHROOM.
I OPENED THE DOOR, AND THEN THERE'S THIS THING ROCKING BACK AND FORTH IN THE DARKNESS.
JUST STRAIGHT OUT OF NOWHERE.
THIS THINGS JUST MOVING IN THE DARK ACROSS THE HALL.
LIKE, YOU KNOW, I TURN ON THE LIGHTS, STILL ROCKING BACK AND FORTH.
JUST, LIKE -- YEAH.
I JUST OPENED THE DOOR TO THIS THING JUST MOVING IN THE DARK.
IT'S JUST LIKE IT JUST I DON'T KNOW, STRAIGHT OUT OF A MOVIE.
I'M TOTALLY DONE, MAN.
ROLLING, KEEP ROLLING.
WHO DID THAT? COULD YOU MAKE THAT CHAIR MOVE? AH, WHY? GEEZ.
SO, DANA, WE DID A SWEEP OF ONE OF THE OFF-CAMPUS HOUSING UNITS, AND WE FOUND SOME INTERESTING THINGS.
AT ONE POINT IN TIME, THE FAUCE ACTUALLY TURNED ON BY ITSELF WHILE WE WERE THERE.
IT WAS REALLY WEIRD, YEAH.
Saint: AFTER ALL THE PARANORMAL ACTIVITY AT NICOLE'S, WE DECIDED TO CALL DANA.
DANA'S KIND OF OUR GO-TO PERSON.
SHE'S OUR PARANORMAL HISTORIAN.
AND SHE CAN HELP US WHENEVER WE NEED TO GET MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THE TOWN ITSELF.
WHAT ARE THE HAUNTINGS ASSOCIATED WITH THE CAMPUS? THERE WERE SOME NEGATIVE AND TRAUMATIC THINGS THAT HAVE GONE ON AROUND CAMPUS.
IN THE 1950s, A NURSING STUDEN HUNG HERSELF IN ONE OF THE CAMPUS BUILDINGS.
THERE'S ANOTHER STORY THAT HAPPENED IN THE 1980s.
IN ONE OF THE RESIDENT HALLS, THERE WAS SO MUCH DISTURBANCE TO THE STUDENTS THAT AN EXORCISM HAD TO BE PERFORMED.
I DON'T THINK IT WORKED.
AND THEN, OF COURSE, THERE'S THE GIRL GHOST.
SHE'S SEEN IN A LONG DRESS.
SOME PEOPLE SEE HER, LIKE, IN A NIGHTGOWN.
REALLY? AND SHE'S SEEN ALL OVER CAMPUS, NOT JUST IN ONE PLACE.
SHE'S BEEN ATTRIBUTED TO STEALING THINGS FROM THE STUDENTS.
THERE WAS A BUNCH OF TRINKETS WE FOUND IN THE BASEMENT, KIND OF COLLECTED IN ONE AREA OF THE BASEMENT.
COULD THAT BE THE GHOST GIRL THAT ACTUALLY MOVED THAT STUFF? IT CERTAINLY SOUNDS LIKE IT.
BUT SHE'S NO THE ONLY SPIRIT IN TOWN.
IT'S ENDLESS.
IT'S ALMOST LIKE THERE'S AN ASTRAL HIGHWAY HERE THAT THESE SPIRITS TRAVEL ON.
IT MAKES ME REALLY WONDER IF THAT'S THE CAUSE OF THE SPIKE OF ACTIVITY IN THIS TOWN.
WE'VE COLLECTED SOME REALLY GOOD EVIDENCE.
CASE ONE IN THE SWEET SHOP.
THEY FOUND THIS BABY SHOE.
IT APPARENTLY WARDS OFF EVIL SPIRITS.
YEAH, THAT'S SO WEIRD.
CASE TWO -- OLD PROSPECT AVE.
RIGHT HERE, THE STUDENT OFF-CAMPUS HOUSING, WITH THE WATER FAUCET THAT WAS KIND OF GOING ON BY ITSELF.
I FEEL LIKE ALL OF THESE CLUES AND ALL THIS EVIDENCE MUST BE CONNECTED.
Saint: IT JUST SEEMS TO ALL BE POINTING TO SOMETHING BIGGER.
I DON'T KNOW HOW RIGHT NOW, BUT WE'RE DEFINITELY GONNA FIND OUT.
[ DEVICE BEEPING .]
DID YOU EVER FIND OU IF THE GLASSES WERE NICOLE'S? Hartley: YEAH, YEAH.
I ACTUALLY SPOKE WITH HER THIS MORNING AND SHOWED THEM TO HER, AND SHE SAID THOSE WERE DEFINITELY -- OH, REALLY? THOSE ARE HER GLASSES, YEAH.
OKAY.
BEGS THE QUESTION, HOW DID THEY GE UNDERNEATH THE CREEPY DOOR? IS IT STILL FLAT TO YOU? YEAH, I'M NOT GETTING ANYTHING.
WHY DON'T WE CONDUC AN EVP SESSION HERE? THAT'S A GOOD IDEA.
SO WE STARTED DOING AN EVP SESSION, WHICH IS ELECTRONIC VOICE PHENOMENON, IN THE HOPES TO CAPTURE, MAYBE, A VOICE OR SOME SORT OF SOUNDS THAT WE CAN'T NORMALLY HEAR WITH OUR HUMAN EARS.
WE STILL HAVE THE TRINKETS THAT WE FOUND LAST NIGHT.
YEAH, LET'S USE THOSE AS TRIGGER OBJECTS.
I'LL GRAB THEM.
TRIGGER OBJECTS ARE BASICALLY OBJECTS THAT WE THINK MIGHT ENTICE THE SPIRITS TO COME OUT.
AND IF THEY CAN COME OU AND INTERACT WITH THESE, WE CAN CAPTURE IT ON A CAMERA OR ANOTHER PIECE OF EQUIPMEN AND JUST PROVE THAT THEY'RE THERE.
[ DEVICE PINGING .]
THAT WAS A HIT.
ALL RIGHT.
SO I'M GONNA GO LIVE WITH A RECORDER.
SO IT'S BILL AND ELIZABETH IN THE BASEMENT.
WE'RE JUST CURIOUS IF YOU ARE THE PERSON THAT TOOK ALL THESE KNICKKNACKS AND HID THEM BEHIND THE DOOR.
IF YOU ARE HERE, WHICH OF THESE OBJECTS IS YOUR FAVORITE? MAYBE YOU CAN COME AND TOUCH THEM.
ARE YOU THE LITTLE GIRL THAT NICOLE SAW LAST NIGH OUTSIDE OF HER BEDROOM? I'M NOT GETTING ANYTHING ON MY EMF.
NO.
MINE'S NOT GOING OFF, EITHER.
HOPEFULLY WE PICKED UP AN EVP.
Hartley: LOOKS LIKE WE'VE BEEN RECORDING THIS WHOLE TIME, SO HOPEFULLY, MAYBE, WE GOT SOMETHING IN AUDIO.
LET'S END THE RECORDING HERE AND SEE IF WE PICKED UP ANYTHING.
I JUST MET THIS PROFESSOR OVER AT SHEPHERD UNIVERSITY.
THEY ACTUALLY TEACH PARANORMAL.
SO IT'S LIKE ONE OF THE ONLY SCHOOLS THAT I'VE SEEN THAT ACTUALLY CONDUCTS A PARANORMAL CLASS.
YEAH, THAT'S NEW FOR ME, TOO.
AND SHE STARTS SAYING A LOT OF STUDENTS HAVE ACTUALLY WITNESSED THIS GHOST GIRL.
OH, WOW.
SHE STARTS TALKING ABOU HOW SHE WATCHED THESE STUDENTS CONDUCT A SPIRIT BOARD SESSION.
YEAH.
I WAS LIKE, "ARE YOU SERIOUS?" LIKE, "DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU COULD POSSIBLY BE CONJURING UP?" SHE STARTED TELLING ME, "WELL, THEY THOUGHT THEY WERE SPEAKING WITH THE GHOST GIRL.
" IF YOU THINK ABOU THIS GHOST GIRLTHIS TOWN.
SO IS THIS JUST PAR OF THIS HUGE SPIKE -- HO, HO, HO.
HOLD ON A SECOND.
HOLD ON A SECOND.
I GOT A HIT ON THIS.
WAIT.
WHAT'S UP, BILL? I JUST HEARD SOMETHING REALLY INTERESTING IN THIS EVP.
COME UP AND CHECK THIS OUT.
I WANT TO HEAR THIS.
READY? OKAY.
WHAT WAS THAT? Hartley: HOLD ON A SECOND.
HOLD ON A SECOND.
I GOT A HIT ON THIS.
WHAT'S UP, BILL? I JUST HEARD SOMETHING REALLY INTERESTING IN THIS EVP.
WHAT WAS THAT? WANT TO HEAR IT AGAIN? YEAH.
IT SOUNDS LIKE A LITTLE KID OR SOMETHING.
YEAH.
GIVES ME THE CHILLS.
SO WHAT WE HAVE TO DO, I THINK, WE HAVE TO GO FURTHER THAN JUST THE ORDINARY PARANORMAL INVESTIGATING AND TRY TO COMMUNICATE WITH THE GHOST GIRL.
MAYBE WE USE A SPIRIT BOARD? IT'S A DIFFERENT TACTICAL PARANORMAL INVESTIGATING TOOL.
THE PROBLEM IS, THOUGH, THAT I HAVE IS, LIKE, YOU JUST DON'T KNOW WHO YOU'RE TALKING TO, WHO YOU'RE GETTING ON THE OTHER END.
THE PROBLEM ABOUT USING THESE SPIRIT BOARDS IS SOMETHING NEGATIVE COULD POSSIBLY COME THROUGH AND REALLY ATTACH ITSELF.
THAT ENERGY CAN LINGER ON YOU, AND THAT'S WHAT SCARES ME.
I'VE USUALLY PREACHED AGAINST USING IT AT ALL COSTS.
BUT, I MEAN, IF IT'S A TOOL THAT'S ACTUALLY BEEN ABLE TO COMMUNICATE WITH HER, IT MIGHT BE OUR ONLY WAY OF ACTUALLY REACHING BACK OUT.
I'LL DO IT.
BUT I WOULD LIKE SOMEONE ELSE THERE.
I REALLY THINK THAT WE SHOULD CALL IN LORIE TO KIND OF GUIDE US THROUGH IT.
LORIE IS A PSYCHIC MEDIUM.
AS FOR ME, I'M A SENSITIVE.
YOU KNOW, I MAY SENSE THINGS AND FEEL THINGS.
BUT LORIE, SHE'S ABLE TO COME IN AND COMMUNICATE WITH THE SPIRITS.
AND SHE CAN REALLY PAINT A STORY ABOUT WHAT'S GOING ON.
YEAH.
I THINK THAT'S IT'S A REALLY GOOD IDEA.
LET'S GET BACK TO THAT HOUSE.
LET'S GO.
HEY, LORIE.
YOU GET LOST? I THOUGHT I WAS GONNA BE ABLE TO FIND THIS HOUSE WITH THE VIBES I FEEL.
EVERYTHING IS SO HAUNTED.
OH, MY GOODNESS.
VERY BUSY.
THIS IS NICOLE.
HI.
HOW ARE YOU? I'M LORIE.
HI.
NICE TO MEET YOU.
SO WHAT IS GOING ON WITH THAT BOARD? THERE'S A LOT OF ENERGY COMING OFF THAT BOARD.
IT'S VERY BUSY.
SO I WOULD LOVE TO BE ABLE TO GO INSIDE, SEARCH FOR MYSELF TO FIND A SAFE SPO WHERE I FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH.
YEAH, ABSOLUTELY.
OKAY.
PARANORMAL GROUPS ALWAYS COME TO ME, YOU KNOW, CALL, "HEY, LORIE.
WE'RE HAVING A PROBLEM.
" I TELL THEM, "DON'T TELL ME TOO MUCH.
" BECAUSE IF YOU'RE GIVING ME A STORY, I'M FEEDING OFF OF WHAT "THEY'RE" SAYING.
YOU KNOW? AND I DON'T WANT TO DO THAT.
WHAT I'M DOING IS, IS I'M CHECKING TO MAKE SURE THAT THERE AREN'T LOST SOULS.
LOST SOULS ARE PEOPLE THAT ARE ATTACHED TO A HOME.
THERE'S A LITTLE GIRL IN HERE.
AND I'M -- FOR SOME REASON, I'M SENSING WATER.
I FEEL THICKNESS AND HEAVINESS ON MY CHEST.
THAT MEANS THAT THERE'S MULTIPLE SOUL SPIRITS HERE.
OH, WOW, SALT.
SALT LINE.
THIS IS A PROTECTION.
I FEEL CALM, PROTECTED.
I'D LIKE TO DO THE SPIRIT BOARD SESSION HERE.
I FEEL COMFORTABLE.
THERE IS NO HEAVINESS.
Saint: THIS IS CALLED A MEL METER.
IT HAS A ANTENNA HERE.
IT ACTUALLY GIVES OFF ITS OWN MAGNETIC FIELD.
SO IF I AM CLOSE TO I AND DISTURB IT, IT'S GONNA SOUND.
AND HOPEFULLY, YOU KNOW, A SPIRIT MIGHT COME AND TOUCH I AND CAUSE THAT TO HAPPEN.
WE CAN CHECK I WITH THE CAMERA EQUIPMENT.
IT'S AROUND, AND IT WON'T GO OFF.
Nicole: I'M FEELING A LITTLE NERVOUS AND AFRAID TO USE THE SPIRIT BOARD.
IT'S JUST REALLY CREEPY.
BUT I'M WILLING TO DEAL WITH A LITTLE BIT OF FEAR IN ORDER TO PU THIS SPIRIT AT PEACE.
Johnson: YOU READY? MM-HMM.
LET'S FIND HER NAME.
DO NOT PUSH.
DO NOT DO ANYTHING.
IS THERE ANYONE HERE? CAN YOU TELL US YOUR NAME? ARE YOU MOVING IT? IT'S JUST MOVING.
NO, I'M NOT EVEN TOUCHING IT.
A-N-N-E.
ANNE.
[ DEVICE PINGING .]
WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? I TURNED ON THE HOT AND COLD SPOT DETECTION.
SO IT'S TELLING US THAT THERE'S BEEN A CHANGE.
SHE'S HERE.
I'M WONDERING WHAT HAPPENED TO HER.
LET'S ASK HER.
OKAY.
YOU READY? YOU OKAY? OKAY.
IT'S NERVE-RACKING A LITTLE BIT? YEAH.
SHE'S VERY CLOSE TO YOU.
SO THAT MEANS SHE'S TRUSTING YOU.
ANNE, TELL US WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU, BABY.
"W" "A" YEAH, LOOK AT THAT.
W-A-T-E WATER.
WHEN I CAME DOWN HERE, I FELT AND WAS SHOWN A FLOOD.
THERE'S A LITTLE GIRL IN HERE.
I'M, FOR SOME REASON, GETTING WATER.
I CAN SMELL THE WATER.
I CAN SMELL THIS -- THE -- IT'S LIKE A FLOOD.
SHE DIED IN THAT FLOOD IN THIS HOUSE.
SHE'S HAUNTING THE PLACE WHERE SHE DIED.
THERE'S A JUST CHANCE THAT SHE DOESN'T EVEN KNOW SHE'S DEAD.
[ DEVICE PINGING .]
IT'S HER.
RIGHT THERE.
IT'S COLDER OVER HERE, TOO.
DO YOU FEEL THAT? HOLY COW.
THE MEL METER, IT'S GOING OFF AT THE SAME TIME.
SOMEBODY JUST WALKED UP THIS WAY.
WHOEVER IT IS IS ACTUALLY HIDING THEMSELF 'CAUSE I JUST SAW THE ORB.
I DON'T SEE ORBS UNLESS THEY'RE HIDING.
DID YOU HEAR THAT? YEAH.
SOMEONE WAS WHISPERING.
[ DEVICE PINGING .]
TEMPERATURE'S GOING UP A LITTLE.
IT'S ACTUALLY CIRCLING US.
[ DEVICE PINGING .]
Johnson: A-N-N-E.
ANNE.
SHE DIED IN THAT FLOOD.
THERE'S A CHANCE THAT SHE DOESN'T EVEN KNOW SHE'S DEAD.
[ DEVICE PINGING .]
THERE WAS, LIKE, AN ENERGY SHIFT.
IT'S HER.
RIGHT THERE.
IT'S COLDER OVER HERE, TOO.
DO YOU FEEL THAT? HOLY COW.
THE MEL METER, IT'S GOING OFF AT THE SAME TIME.
SOMEBODY JUST WALKED UP THIS WAY.
I FEELCALM.
I BELIEVE THA THE LITTLE GIRL'S GONE.
IS THERE ANYTHING WE CAN DO TO HELP THIS LITTLE GIRL? I HOPE THAT WE CAN FIGURE OU WHAT'S GOING ON.
Saint: SO WITH ALL THESE CLUES, WE CAN BRING BACK ALL THIS INFORMATION TO DANA, THE LOCAL HISTORIAN.
AND MAYBE SHE CAN FIGURE OUT, YOU KNOW, WHO THIS LITTLE GIRL WAS AND FIGURE OUT WHY SHE'S HAUNTING NICOLE.
HOW Y'ALL DOING? I HAVE SOMETHING THAT MIGHT BE A RED HERRING.
LORIE TOLD ME THAT SHE HAD PICKED UP INFORMATION THAT THIS GIRL DIED IN A FLOOD.
I HAVE BEEN PORING OVER RECORDS TRYING TO FIND A GIRL NAMED ANNE WHO FITS THIS PROFILE.
THERE'S BEEN PLENTY OF FLOODS IN THIS AREA.
BUT ONE PARTICULAR FLOOD HAPPENED IN 1889.
STARTED IN JOHNSTOWN, PENNSYLVANIA.
IT REALLY HI THE UPPER POTOMAC HERE.
THE JOHNSTOWN FLOOD WAS SO DEVASTATING, ENTIRE FAMILIES WERE WIPED OUT IN MINUTES.
THERE WERE OVER 2,200 DEATHS AS A RESULT OF THAT FLOOD.
AND THE LITTLE GIRL THAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR COULD POSSIBLY BE ONE OF THOSE CASUALTIES.
SO WHY DON'T WE GO OVER HERE AND LOOK AT SOME OF THESE GRAVES FOR ANY LITTLE GIRL THAT DIED IN 1889? ALL RIGHT.
LET'S DO IT.
LOOKS LIKE THERE'S AN ANNE HERE.
IT SAYS ELIZABETH ANNE, WHICH IS ACTUALLY MY NAME.
AND IT SEEMS LIKE THIS LITTLE GIRL WAS ABOUT 10 YEARS OLD.
Mitchell: BUT I DON'T THINK SHE FITS THE PROFILE.
SHE DIED IN 1839.
THAT'S A LITTLE EARLY ON.
YOU GOT SOMETHING? Nicole: YEAH! 1879 TO 1889.
IT'S LIKE IN THE MIDDLE OF ALL THESE TREES, TOO.
WAS IT LAYING DOWN? YEAH, IT WAS LIKE THIS.
WOW.
PULL THAT UP AGAIN.
OH, MY GOSH.
I DON'T HAVE I ON MY LIST, AND IT WASN'T IN THE RECORD BOOKS I WAS LOOKING A 'CAUSE THERE'S NO LAST NAME.
MAYBE IT ALSO DIDN'T GET RECORDED 'CAUSE THEY DIDN'T SEE I JUNE 1, 1889.
THAT WAS THE DATE OF THE FLOOD! REALLY? THE ABSOLUTE DATE.
YOU KNOW, YOU NOTICE THAT WITH THE REST OF THE HEADSTONES, YOU KNOW, YOU CAN'T READ THEM ANYMORE.
I MEAN, THIS ONE, YOU KNOW, IS VERY LEGIBLE.
IT MUST'VE BEEN FACEDOWN FOR A LONG TIME, YOU KNOW, GETTING AWAY FROM ALL THE ELEMENTS, THE SUN AND EVERYTHING ELSE THAT WOULD CAUSE REGULAR HEADSTONES TO EVENTUALLY DETERIORATE.
I THINK YOU FOUND YOUR GIRL.
IF THIS IS HER, IT WOULD MAKE A LOT OF SENSE THAT SHE'D BE RESTLESS 'CAUSE, I MEAN, LOOK A THE CONDITION OF HER GRAVE.
RIGHT.
YEAH.
I SAY WE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS.
I WOULD REALLY LIKE, IF YOU GUYS WERE OKAY WITH IT, TO DO A SMALL CEREMONY AND MAYBE HELP BRING SOME PEACE TO HER, CROSS HER OVER IF WE CAN.
I WANT TO PERFORM A SMALL CEREMONY, OPENING UP A DOORWAY THAT WOULD ENABLE HER TO CROSS OVER AND CROSS THROUGH TO THE OTHER SIDE.
I REALLY WANT TO HELP ANNE PUT HER SPIRIT TO REST.
LAYING DOWN A CIRCLE OF SALT AROUND US.
IT'S GONNA ACT AS PROTECTION, BECAUSE WHAT WE'RE ACTUALLY DOING IS OPENING A DOORWAY.
SO I'D LIKE TO PROTECT US FROM ANY POSSIBLE ATTACHMEN OR, YOU KNOW, SOMETHING NEGATIVE.
THE ONLY THING THAT REALLY SCARES ME IS DARKER ENTITIES.
IS THIS GONNA BE ATTACHED TO ME? IS THIS GONNA HAUNT ME? AND I HAVE A CHILD NOW.
SO IT'S DEFINITELY A CONCERN OF MINE TO BRING SOMETHING HOME.
CLOSE YOUR EYES.
ANNE, CAN YOU JOIN US? JUST GOT GOOSE BUMPS.
WE'RE HERE TO HELP YOU MOVE ON, BECAUSE WHETHER YOU KNOW I OR NOT, YOU ACTUALLY DIED IN THE YEAR 1889.
ANNE, THIS IS YOUR WAY HOME.
DON'T BE AFRAID.
Saint: WHAT I DID WAS GAVE HER THE OPTION TO CROSS OVER AND PASS THROUGH AND BE WITH HER LOVED ONES AGAIN.
AND HOPEFULLY, YOU KNOW, THE CEREMONY WORKED AND SHE'S FINALLY AT PEACE.
Groff: I'M HAPPY WE CAN ACTUALLY TAKE A MOMEN AND JUST RELAX FOR ONCE.
Hartley: YEAH.
Y'ALL HAVE BEEN DOING SOME GOOD WORK.
[ INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS .]
[ CELLPHONE RINGS .]
OH, HOLD ON.
SERGEANT MIKE IS CALLING ME.
King: [ SPEAKS INDISTINCTLY .]
WE CAN -- WE CAN GE OVER THERE RIGHT NOW.
GUYS, WE GOT TO GO.
Groff: SERGEANT KING JUST CALLED, SAID THERE'S AN ESCALATION IN ACTIVITY.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S HAPPENING.
BUT, I MEAN, IT SUCKS.
I THOUGHT WE WERE IN THE CLEAR.
NICOLE'S HOUSE.
SERGEANT KING JUST CALLED, SAID THERE'S AN ESCALATION IN ACTIVITY.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S HAPPENING.
BUT, I MEAN, IT SUCKS.
I THOUGHT WE WERE IN THE CLEAR.
NICOLE'S HOUSE.
HEY, HOW YOU DOING? NICK.
SKYLAR.
ELIZABETH.
HEY.
IS NICOLE HERE? YEAH, SHE'S INSIDE.
HEY, NICOLE.
YOU OKAY? WHAT'S GOING ON? I DON'T KNOW WHAT EXACTLY IT WAS, BUT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT, LIKE, REALLY FREAKY STUFF WAS HAPPENING TO ME.
WHERE WAS THIS HAPPENING? UPSTAIRS IN MY ROOM.
CAN YOU SHOW ME? I DON'T THINK I CAN GO UP THERE RIGHT NOW.
WANT TO JUST SIT HERE? WE CAN TALK HERE IF YOU WANT.
YEAH.
I JUST WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU EXACTLY WHAT'S GOING ON.
OKAY.
IT'S ALL RIGHT.
JUST TAKE A BREATH FOR A SECOND.
I KNOW IT'S PROBABLY REALLY FRIGHTENING.
JUST TELL ME EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED.
IT WAS GETTING LATE, AND I FELL ASLEEP.
IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT, I WOKE UP.
IT FELT LIKE I WAS SUFFOCATING.
I COULDN'T MOVE MY ARMS OR LEGS.
IT LOOKED LIKE SOMEONE WAS THROWING STUFF OUT OF MY DRAWER.
THEN I SAW THE SAME GIRL THAT I HAD SEEN EARLIER.
I WAS IN THE ROOM RIGHT NEXT TO HER.
I WOKE UP TO A NOISE AND RAN IN.
IT LOOKED LIKE A TORNADO HIT THE ROOM.
WHEN SKYLAR CAME IN, IT FEL LIKE A WHOLE BUNCH OF WEIGH HAD BEEN LIFTED OFF OF ME.
ALMOST LIKE HE BROKE THAT ENERGY IN THAT ROOM? I WANT IT TO STOP.
I DON'T WANT YOU TO WORRY.
I JUST LITERALLY SAW A SHADOW PASS BY ON THAT WALL.
DID YOU SEE THAT? IS ANYBODY UP THERE? HEY, BILL.
THERE'S SOME REALLY WEIRD THINGS STARTING TO HAPPEN IN THIS HOUSE.
COPY THAT.
Saint: IT'S REALLY COMING DOWN.
HAVING A STORM COME THROUGH ENERGIZES THE ATMOSPHERE.
THE SPIRITS ARE KNOWN A LOT OF TIMES TO DRAIN BATTERIES TO ACQUIRE ENERGY TO MANIFEST THEMSELVES.
AND WHEN YOU HAVE A STORM ROLLING THROUGH, THEY CAN JUST TAKE ALL THE ENERGY THEY WANT FROM THAT.
IT MAKES IT EASIER FOR SPIRITS TO COMMUNICATE WITH US.
[ THUNDER RUMBLES .]
WE GOT FOUR CAMERAS SET UP INSIDE THE DORM.
NOW WE'RE ACTUALLY LOCKING DOWN ANGLES SO WE ACTUALLY KNOW WHAT WE'RE LOOKING A AND WHAT WE WANT TO LOOK AT.
COPY THAT.
ALL RIGHT.
TELL ME WHEN.
RIGHT THERE WOULD BE GOOD.
YOU CAN LOCK IT DOWN.
RIGHT NOW I'M JUST SETTING UP THIS CAMERA IN THE BATHROOM, TRY TO SEE IF WE CAN CAPTURE THE WATER GOING OFF ON ITS OWN.
ALL RIGHT, PERFECT.
IT'S NIGHT INVESTIGATION TIME.
ELIZABETH'S GONNA STAY IN HERE.
SHE HAS NICOLE SHE'S GONNA BE INVESTIGATING WITH.
AND BILL AND I ARE GONNA BE WATCHING FROM THE COMMAND CENTER.
WE HAVE ALL THESE NIGHT VISION CAMERAS.
AND WE'RE GONNA BE SURVEYING ANY PARANORMAL ACTIVITY THAT HAPPENS.
ALL RIGHT, GUYS.
READY TO GO DARK.
SHE'S IN THE BASEMENT RIGHT NOW.
SHE'S ON CAMERA ONE.
Saint: SINCE THE SPIRIT SEEMED TO BE ATTACHED TO NICOLE, I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE A GOOD IDEA TO HAVE HER STAY FOR THE NIGHT INVESTIGATION TO KIND OF DRAW THE SPIRIT OUT MORE.
IT MUST BE SO SCARY TO ACTUALLY WITNESS THAT STUFF BEING THROWN IN YOUR ROOM AND THEN SUDDENLY HAVING TO GO BACK TO TRY TO FACE IT.
I USE THE REM-POD INSIDE THE DOORWAY.
THE REM-POD ACTUALLY GIVES OFF ITS OWN ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELD.
AND WHEN IT'S DISTURBED, THAT'S WHEN YOU GET THE SOUND AND THE LIGHTS THAT GO OFF.
AND ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE SALT LINE, I USE THE MEL METER.
OKAY.
I AM REALLY NERVOUS.
BUT AT THIS POINT, I'M WILLING TO DO WHATEVER IT TAKES.
THIS IS WHERE THEY DID THE SPIRIT BOARD SESSION.
WE HAVE TO REALLY LOOK OUT FOR HER.
I WAS REALLY WORRIED ABOUT NICOLE, JUST THE STATE OF MIND.
YOU FEEL THAT? IT FELT LIKE A BREEZE BRUSH BY RIGHT HERE? [ DEVICES PINGING .]
OH, MY GOD.
THEY'RE BOTH GOING OFF AT THE SAME TIME.
[ FEEDBACK .]
DUDE, I CAN FEEL THE STATIC ELECTRICITY.
I MEAN, DO YOU FEEL THAT? OH, MY GOSH.
SHOULD I -- OH [BLEEP.]
Hartley: FOR MORE "GHOSTS OF SHEPHERDSTOWN", VISIT destinationamerica.
com.
Groff: HOPEFULLY WE CAN CAPTURE THE SPIRI NICOLE IS EXPERIENCING HERE.
[ FEEDBACK .]
Saint: OH, MY GOD.
THEY'RE BOTH GOING OFF AT THE SAME TIME.
[ DEVICES PINGING .]
SHOULD I -- OH [BLEEP.]
EVERYTHING JUST DIED.
ALL THE POWER, EVERYTHING JUST WENT OFF.
I'M GOING IN.
Hartley: YEAH, 10-4, NICK IS EN ROUTE RIGHT NOW.
YOU GUYS ALL RIGHT? YOU OKAY? OH, MY GOD.
[ PINGING CONTINUES .]
[ PINGING STOPS .]
WHAT THE HECK JUST HAPPENED? WE WERE WATCHING YOU FROM THE TRUCK, AND THEN EVERYTHING IN THE COMMAND CENTER JUST COMPLETELY DIES.
EVERYTHING GOES OUT.
WAIT, THE TRUCK WENT OFF AT THE SAME TIME ALL THE SURVEILLANCE CAMERAS, EVERYTHING JUST TURNED OFF.
Saint: HAVING ALL THREE OF OUR DEVICES GO OFF AT THE SAME TIME, IT'S A REALLY GOOD INDICATION THAT THE SPIRIT WAS TRYING TO MANIFEST IN SOME WAY OR DRAW ENERGY TO COMMUNICATE WITH US BETTER.
DO YOU WANT TO TRY USING THE RECORDER? YEAH.
WE CAN TRY TO DO THAT.
WHAT THIS IS -- JUST A TYPICAL DIGITAL RECORDER.
AND IT'S SE ON VOICE ACTIVATION, SO IT'S GONNA CONDENSE BETWEEN THE WHITE NOISE.
SO IF WE PICK UP ANYTHING IN THE SILENT PART, WHERE YOU DON'T -- YOU'RE NO SUPPOSED TO HEAR ANYTHING, IT'S POSSIBLY A VOICE, AN UNEXPLAINABLE VOICE THAT WILL COME THROUGH.
DO YOU WANT TO HOLD IT, SINCE THEY SEEM TO BE DRAWN TO YOU? Nicole: OKAY.
ALL RIGHT.
SO I'M RECORDING.
ASK ONE QUESTION.
GIVE A LITTLE BIT OF A PAUSE.
WHY ARE YOU VISITING ME? ARE YOU THE LITTLE GIRL I SAW? [ DEVICES PINGING .]
THAT WAS A YES, SO KEEP ASKING.
DO YOU KNOW THAT YOU DIED? ARE YOU STILL IN THIS ROOM WITH US? ALL RIGHT, GUYS.
LET'S TRY STOPPING THIS AND PLAYING IT BACK.
WHOA.
GEEZ.
WHAT WAS THAT? IT DOES IT AGAIN.
I'LL REWIND IT.
CAN YOU HEAR THIS? LISTEN.
SO BASICALLY WE'RE GETTING A RESPONSE FROM THIS -- WHOEVER WE'RE COMMUNICATING WITH.
WHAT'S THE MATTER, MAN? SOMETHING'S GRABBING YOU? LET ME SEE.
ARE YOU ALL RIGHT? Saint: SHE'S BECOMING MORE AGITATED.
YEAH, SHE'S UPSET.
THAT'S AGGRESSIVE.
YOU EVER THINK MAYBE SHE'S LOOKING FOR SOMETHING? RIGHT.
MAYBE SHE'S NOT NECESSARILY THAT'S RIGHT, 'CAUSE AFTER THE SESSION THE OTHER NIGHT, I TOOK THE TRINKETS OUT OF HERE.
I PUT THEM ON THE TRUCK.
SO MAYBE THE REASON WHY THIS HAPPENED WAS SHE WAS LOOKING FOR THOSE TRINKETS.
MAYBE WE TAKE THE TRINKETS AND WE ACTUALLY BRING I RIGHT TO HER GRAVE.
SO MAYBE THAT CAN, LIKE, GIVE HER SOME PEACE, MAYBE ANCHOR HER SPIRI THERE AT THE GRAVE, RATHER THAN BEING HERE AT THE HOUSE.
EXACTLY.
IT KIND OF BREAKS MY HEAR KNOWING THAT THERE'S A CHILD ALMOS LOST OR STUCK IN LIMBO.
I HAVE TWO DAUGHTERS MYSELF.
AND KNOWING THAT A CHILD COULD BE TRAPPED IN THIS REALM, I WOULD HATE TO KNOW THAT IF THEY PASSED, THEY WOULD BE STUCK THERE.
I FOUND IT.
I HAVE THE TRINKETS.
I BROUGHT THEM FROM THE HOUSE, AND I'M GONNA PLACE THEM ON THE GRAVESTONE.
HOPEFULLY THIS HELPS.
AND HOPEFULLY WE CAN ANCHOR HER SPIRIT HERE INSTEAD OF THE HOUSE.
ALL RIGHT, ANNE.
IS THAT IT? Nicole: THIS IS IT.
I FEEL RELIEVED THIS LITTLE GHOS HAS HOPEFULLY FOUND SOME PEACE.
NOW WE CAN BOTH MOVE ON.
FINALS OVER? THEY ARE.
HOW'D YOU DO? FINGERS CROSSED, BUT I THINK I PASSED.
GOOD.
THE PAST COUPLE OF NIGHTS, THERE'S BEEN NO DREAMS, NO NOISES, NOTHING HERE.
King: I'M GLAD TO SEE NICOLE ON HER WAY HOME TODAY SAFELY.
AND I'M HAPPY TO SEE THAT THERE WAS SOME RESOLVE TO THIS CASE.
Saint: SO CALLS -- UP, DOWN? NOTHING SEEMS TO HAVE CHANGED.
EVERYTHING SEEMS TO JUS BE RIGHT ABOUT WHERE IT WAS.
Saint: WE DEFINITELY FOUND SOME CLOSURE WITH THIS CASE, BUT I'M NOT SURE STILL HOW IT CONTRIBUTES TO THE OVERALL SPIKE OF PARANORMAL ACTIVITY IN THIS TOWN.
THERE'S CLEARLY A LO MORE GOING ON HERE, SOMETHING LARGER THAT MAKES ME FEEL THAT ALL OF THESE EVENTS -- SWEET SHOP BAKERY, NICOLE'S -- ARE SOMEHOW CONNECTED.
WE'LL KEEP TRYING TO FIGURE IT OUT.
I KNOW YOU GUYS WILL.
YOU'RE GOOD AT THAT.
YOU'LL DO IT.
THANKS! I'M HOPING WE CAN FIND A WAY TO GET TO THE BOTTOM OF WHAT'S HAPPENING HERE IN SHEPHERDSTOWN AND SOMEHOW PUT IT ALL TO REST.
