Ghosts of Shepherdstown (2016) s01e05 Episode Script
It's Behind You
1 Man: SHEPHERDSTOWN P.
D.
WHAT'S YOUR EMERGENCY? [ TIRES SQUEAL .]
[ SIREN WAILS .]
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 THAT 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.
UH, 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 'EM.
SO I'VE ACTUALLY HAD TO DO WHAT NO OTHER POLICE DEPARTMENT'S DONE BEFORE.
I'VE ASSEMBLED SOME OF THE BES 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 IT'S PRETTY CLEAR THA THERE'S AN INCREASE IN PARANORMAL ACTIVITY IN THE TOWN.
BUT WE JUST CAN'T FIGURE OU WHAT EXACTLY IS CAUSING I AND WHERE THE SOURCE IS COMING FROM.
RIGHT.
I MEAN, WE HAVE A LOT OF LOCATIONS, A LOT OF AREAS THAT WE'VE INVESTIGATED.
YEAH.
WELL, LET'S RUN DOWN THE LIST.
THE SWEET SHOP ON GERMAN STREET.
WITH THE SAFE AND WITH THE BABY SHOE.
THE THING IS, LAST COUPLE OF TIMES, EVEN AFTER WE SOLVED THOSE CASES, WE FELT THERE WAS SOMETHING DARK.
WE HAD RAY-RAY KEEPIN' OUT A DARK ENTITY WHICH LEFT THE SNIDER HOUSE BUT MOVED SOMEWHERE ELSE IN TOWN.
AND THEN WE HAVE CASE NUMBER FOUR, CARI BEING STALKED BY A DARK MALE SPIRI RIGHT AT THE CLOCK TOWER.
RIGHT, WHERE THE TOWN RUN IS.
AND THAT'S WHERE OUR EQUIPMENT SPIKED.
I DON'T KNOW WHY, THOUGH.
EVERY CASE IS STARTING TO ESCALATE ON A NEGATIVE.
AND THIS KIND OF NEGATIVE FORCE IS TAKING OVER.
SO WE HAVE TO GO AFTER THAT NEGATIVE.
IT'S LIKE SEARCHING FOR A NEEDLE IN A HAYSTACK.
IT DEFINITELY IS.
THIS IS MIKE.
HEY, GO AHEAD, MIKE.
YOU GOT BILL.
YEAH.
COPY THAT.
WE'RE ON OUR WAY.
Groff: HEY, MIKE.
HOW'S IT GOIN'? THANKS FOR COMIN'.
WELL, JAKE AND EMILY, THEY WERE OUT FOR A NIGHT UNDER THE STARS.
AND EMILY HEARS A SPLASH IN THE WATER AND SAYS SHE SEES A BODY FLOATIN' DOWN THE RIVER.
JAKE HASN'T SEEN ANYTHING.
BUT THEY RUN UP, AND THEY CALL.
WE GOT HERE RIGHT AWAY.
JIMMY WENT UP THE RIVER.
I WENT DOWN THE RIVER AS FAR AS WE COULD GO.
UM, WE HAVE NOTHING.
NOW, I'VE ALSO CALLED MARYLAND DNR, WEST VIRGINIA DNR, AND THE OTHER POLICE AGENCIES IN THE AREA.
NO ONE HAS ANY MISSING PERSONS.
AND NO ONE HAS ANY BOATING ACCIDENTS OR FISHERMEN WHO DID NOT RETURN.
AND THAT WATER'S NOT DEEP ENOUGH FOR SOMEONE TO GO SUBMERGED? NO.
YOU ALMOST HAVE TO HAVE A JET BOAT IN HERE.
IT'S THAT SHALLOW.
SO EVERYTHING'S GONNA WASH UP EVENTUALLY.
YEAH.
AND IT GETS SHALLOWER AS IT GOES DOWN.
THAT'S WHY I CALLED YOU 'CAUSE IT'S A LITTLE STRANGE.
PROBABLY BE GOOD FOR YOU GUYS TO TALK TO 'EM.
ABSOLUTELY.
King: THE PARANORMAL TEAM'S BEEN DOING A GOOD JOB.
THEY'RE GIVING RESOLUTION TO SOME OF THESE CASES ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS.
BUT UNFORTUNATELY, I'M STILL GETTING CALLS DAILY THAT ARE STRANGE IN NATURE.
HOPEFULLY, THE TEAM CAN GET SOME ANSWERS, MAYBE SLOW SOME OF THESE TYPE CALLS DOWN.
WE'RE GONNA BE CLOSE BY.
IF YOU SHOULD FIND ANYTHING RIGHT.
PLEASE GIVE US A CALL.
WE'LL COME RIGHT BACK DOWN.
ALL RIGHT.
THANKS, GUYS.
GOOD LUCK TO YOU.
HI, EMILY, NICK.
-HI.
-NICE TO MEET YOU.
HEY.
BILL.
GOOD TO MEET YOU.
DO YOU WANT TO COME OVER HERE? AND WE CAN TALK AND YEAH.
THAT'S FINE.
HOW YOU DOING? YOU ALL RIGHT? I'M OKAY.
JUST TAKE ME FROM THE BEGINNING OF THIS INCIDENT.
YOU GUYS WERE JUS TAKING A STROLL.
YOU WERE COMING OUT HERE DURING THE NIGHT AND YEAH.
WE HAD COME DOWN HERE, UM, JUST TO GET AWAY FROM CAMPUS FOR A LITTLE WHILE, HAVE KIND OF, LIKE, A RELAXING EVENING.
AND WE HEARD THIS BIG SPLASH.
[ SPLASH .]
AND IT WAS BIGGER THAN A FISH.
BUT IT WAS KIND OF FARTHER UP AWAY FROM US.
WE GOT UP, WENT OVER TO SEE WHAT IT WAS.
AND I SAW A WOMAN IN THE WATER.
-YOU DIDN'T SEE THIS? -I DID NOT SEE THE BODY.
-BUT YOU DID HEAR THE SPLASH? -I DID HEAR THE SPLASH.
I TOLD JAKE, "WE NEED TO GO CALL SOMEONE 'CAUSE SOMEONE NEEDS TO BE DOWN HERE.
" -YEAH.
-AND WE CALLED.
AND WHEN WE CAME BACK DOWN, THERE WAS NOTHING HERE.
THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME.
SHE SEEMS TO SEE THINGS A LOT.
IT'S EVEN STARTED TO AFFECT US AS A COUPLE.
IT'S A CONSTAN BARRAGE OF -- OF PEOPLE THA I CAN'T SEE OR HEAR BUT SHE TELLS ME ARE THERE.
HAVE YOU SEEN UNEXPLAINABLE THINGS LIKE THIS BEFORE? OR IS THIS KIND OF THE FIRS TIME THAT'S HAPPENED? NO.
IT'S ACTUALLY HAPPENED A LOT.
-REALLY? -UM, YEAH.
ARE YOU A SENSITIVE, OR ARE YOU IN TUNE TO THE PARANORMAL? I HAD SOME ABILITIES WHEN I WAS A LITTLE KID.
UM, THINGS REALLY RAMPED UP WHEN WE MOVED HERE.
I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING THINGS ON A DAILY BASIS EVER SINCE.
[ Voice breaking .]
IT'S REALLY, REALLY HARD FOR ME TO TALK ABOUT I 'CAUSE I HAVE FELT THAT I NEED TO BE PUT ON SOME SORT OF MEDS.
LOOK, I'VE TALKED TO THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE, PEOPLE WITH SPECIAL ABILITIES THAT CAN UNDERSTAND THAT THIS CAN MAKE YOU FEEL A LITTLE BI LIKE YOU'RE GOING CRAZY BECAUSE YOU'RE SEEING THINGS.
YEAH.
BUT YOU'RE JUS TRYIN' TO STAY GROUNDED.
Groff: THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT EMILY THAT I JUST CONNECTED WITH.
YOU COULD JUST LOOK IN HER EYES AND TELL, LIKE, SHE REALLY MEAN WHAT SHE WAS SAYING.
WE'RE GONNA FIGURE OU WHAT'S HAPPENING HERE.
DO YOU KNOW ANY OTHER INFORMATION THAT WOULD HELP ME? UM, I KEPT GETTING THE NAME "ELIZABETH.
" -ELIZABETH? -ELIZABETH.
I WANT TO REALLY TRY TO CAPTURE SOMETHING TO HELP VALIDATE WHAT SHE SAW SO WE CAN SHOW HER SHE'S NOT GOING CRAZY.
BECAUSE IT'S NOT JUST EMILY.
THERE'S OTHER PEOPLE TALKING ABOUT THIS ENERGY THAT'S FOLLOWING THEM AROUND AND LATCHING ON TO THEM.
AND THAT'S BECAUSE SHEPHERDSTOWN IS A WEIRD TWILIGHT ZONE OF PARANORMAL EXPERIENCES.
-ALL RIGHT, BILL.
YOU READY? -YEAH.
LET'S DO IT.
ALL RIGHT.
LET'S GO DOWN INTO THE WATER WHERE EMILY ACTUALLY SAW THIS BODY.
I'M GONNA USE THIS INFRARED CAMERA AND SEE IF I CAN ACTUALLY SEE ANY HEAT SIGNATURES OR COLD SIGNATURES THROUGH THE WOODS.
Hartley: I'VE GOT THE FULL SPECTRUM RUNNIN' ON VIDEO.
-THAT'S THE TOWN RUN, RIGHT? -YEAH.
THIS IS ACTUALLY WHERE THE TOWN WATER WASHES OU INTO THE POTOMAC.
THIS ACTUALLY COMES FROM NEAR THE CLOCK TOWER, WHERE CARI HEARD THE GUNSHO IN OUR PREVIOUS CASE.
AND THEN OVER HERE, SOMEWHERE BACK THERE, IS WHERE EMILY SAW THAT BODY OVER THERE.
Groff: EMILY POINTED RIGHT THROUGH HERE.
THIS IS WHERE SHE SAW THE BODY.
IT'S JUST AN EERIE FEELING.
I'M TELLIN' YA, THAT FOG COMIN' OFF THAT WATER JUST ADDS TO IT.
Groff: ALL RIGHT.
KEEP YOUR EYES OUT.
IT WAS PROBABLY RIGHT IN THIS AREA.
I DON'T SEE ANYTHING THAT CAN BE RA-- MISTAKEN FOR A BODY.
-YOU SEEIN' ANYTHING DOWN THERE? -I'M LOOKIN' ON THE THERMAL.
I DON'T SEE ANYTHING.
I MEAN, WHAT DO YOU THINK SHE SAW? I DON'T KNOW.
I MEAN, THERE'S A LOT OF STUFF DOWN HERE.
AND YOU GOT LIMBS, AND YOU GOT ROCKS POKING OUT OF THE WATER.
BUT NOTHING REALLY LOOKS LIKE IT WOULD BE A BODY.
RIGHT.
WAIT.
WHAT IS THAT? I CAN SEE SOMETHING OUT THERE IN THE WATER.
BILL, YOU SEEIN' THAT? I CAN'T CATCH IT WITH MY I.
R.
IT'S TOO FAR OUT.
COME HERE.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS.
BUT WHATEVER IT IS, IT'S FLOATING CLOSER.
I CAN SEE I ON THE THERMAL.
DROP YOUR LIGHT.
HOLY [BLEEP.]
, IT LOOKS LIKE A BODY.
Groff: WAIT.
WHAT IS THAT? I CAN SEE IT ON THE THERMAL.
DROP YOUR LIGHT.
HOLY [BLEEP.]
, IT LOOKS LIKE A BODY.
I DON'T KNOW.
I CAN'T MAKE OU EXACTLY WHAT IT IS BECAUSE OF THE FOG COVERING IT.
HOW'S YOUR FULL SPECTRUM LOOKING? Hartley: TOO DARK TO REALLY SEE ANYTHING BEYOND WHERE I'M STANDING.
IT'S LITERALLY SHOWING UP COLD ON THIS.
CAN YOU SEE AN OUTLINE? LIKE, DOES IT LOOK LIKE A BODY? OH, WAIT.
ARE YOU KIDDING ME? I SAW IT WITH MY EYES, AND THEN I LOOKED IN THE THERMAL, AND IT WASN'T THERE.
BILL, DID YOU SEE THAT? NO.
I DIDN'T CATCH IT.
Groff: I DON'T SEE ANYTHING OUT HERE.
I GOT REALLY EXCITED BECAUSE I SAW SOMETHING FLOATING IN THE WATER WHERE EMILY SAID SHE SAW A BODY FLOATING.
AND SUDDENLY, IT JUST DISAPPEARED.
LIKE, MAYBE SOME DEBRIS OR SOMETHING THAT FELL IN THE WATER.
SOME SORT OF FLOTATION DEVICE MAYBE? COULD BE.
I BELIEVE THAT EMILY SAW THIS BODY.
BUT WE'RE IN COMPLETE DARKNESS RIGHT NOW, SO IT'S HARD TO SEE IF THERE'S ANYTHING EVEN FLOATING IN THE WATER.
I DON'T SEE ANYTHING ELSE.
NEXT STEP IS TO COME BACK TOMORROW AND ACTUALLY DO A FULL BASELINE SWEEP OF THE WHOLE AREA AND SEE IF WE CAN SEE ANYTHING DURING THE DAY.
ALL RIGHT.
LET'S GET OUT OF HERE.
BILL AND NICK ACTUALLY HAD A REALLY CRAZY NIGHT INVESTIGATION YESTERDAY.
THIS COUPLE APPARENTLY SAW WHAT THEY THOUGH WAS A WOMAN FLOATING DOWN THE RIVER.
BUT WHEN EVERYBODY GOT THERE, THERE WAS NO SIGN OF A WOMAN.
SO I'M TRYING TO FIGURE OUT IF, YOU KNOW, WAS IT A BODY, OR WAS IT ACTUALLY SOMETHING PARANORMAL? WELL, A LOT OF THINGS HAVE HAPPENED ON THAT RIVER OVER THE CENTURIES.
MANY DEVASTATING FLOODS ALONG THE POTOMAC, ESPECIALLY LIKE THE JOHNSTOWN FLOOD IN 1889.
I HAVE SOME PICTURES HERE.
WHEN YOU SAID IT WAS ABOUT THE RIVER, I BROUGHT WHA I HAD ON HAND.
THIS IS FROM THE JOHNSTOWN FLOOD.
YOU CAN SEE WHAT KIND OF DEVASTATION SOMETHING LIKE THAT WOULD DO -OH, MY GOSH.
-WHEN IT HITS.
THERE WERE BOATS THAT CAPSIZED OR PEOPLE THAT WERE WADING IN THE RIVER, AND CHILDREN HAD DROWNED THERE.
LIKE ANNE, THE LITTLE GHOST GIRL -- THE STUDEN OFF-CAMPUS HOUSING.
THERE WAS A TERRIBLE CHOLERA EPIDEMIC UP AND DOWN THE C&O CANAL.
SEEMS LIKE THERE'S A BROAD SPECTRUM OF POSSIBILITIES AS TO WHAT HAS HAPPENED.
IT'S WATER.
AND OVER THE CENTURY, IT'S TAKEN ITS TOLL.
SO YOU KNOW WHA I'M ACTUALLY GONNA DO? I'M GONNA HEAD DOWN THE POLICE DEPARTMEN AND SEE IF THERE'S ANY, YOU KNOW, FILES I CAN DIG UP, MAYBE SOMETHING THAT DEALS SPECIFICALLY WITH CASES IN THE POTOMAC RIVER.
YEAH.
I'D BE CURIOUS TO SEE WHAT YOU FIND OUT.
IT'S A LITTLE EASIER WALKING AROUND HERE DURING THE DAY, HUH? YEAH.
NO JOKE.
NO MORE FOG.
IT'S BRIGHT OUT.
EMILY SAW THIS BODY FLOATING DOWN THE WATER.
BUT I BELIEVE THAT THIS WOMAN NAMED ELIZABETH, SHE'S AN APPARITION.
LET ME KNOW IF YOU GET ANYTHING, BILL.
GOT IT.
SO WE CALLED LORIE TO SEE IF SHE COULD PICK UP ON ANYTHING.
AT THE SAME TIME, ELIZABETH -- OUR ELIZABETH -- IS AT THE POLICE STATION TO SEE IF THERE WERE ANY RECENT DEATHS OR MISSING PEOPLES REPORTS CONNECTED TO THE RIVER.
LET'S KEEP GOING.
WE DIDN'T MAKE I DOWN THIS FAR LAST NIGHT.
ELIZABETH, AS IF YOU DON' HAVE ENOUGH TO LOOK THROUGH, HERE'S ANOTHER BOX OF CASES FOR YOU.
YOU'RE SO SWEET.
I'M GONNA GO BACK AND SEE IF THERE'S ANY MORE.
Saint: I'M ACTUALLY GOING THROUGH THESE OLDER CASE FILES HERE TO SEE IF THERE'S ANYTHING THAT MIGHT GIVE US ANY LEADS 'CAUSE IT MIGHT BE A STRONG POSSIBILITY THAT WHAT EMILY SAW WASN'T REALLY A BODY AT ALL AND COULD'VE BEEN, LIKE, A RESIDUAL SPIRI FORM OF A WOMAN WHO DIED VIOLENTLY, AND SHE'S HAUNTING THE PLACE WHERE SHE DIED.
-WHERE'S LORIE? -GOD KNOWS.
I JUST TOLD HER TO MEET US HERE.
-LORIE? -HEY.
HOW ARE YOU? HEY, LORIE.
WE FOUND YOU.
YEAH.
I'VE BEEN HERE FOR A LITTLE WHILE.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING DOWN THERE? Johnson: THE ENERGY JUST DREW ME THROUGH HERE.
AND THEN I HEARD YELLING.
AND ALL I KEPT SEEING WAS A MALE, VERY ANGRY, VERY MEAN.
I SEE HIM HERE.
HE'S DOING SOMETHING IN THE WATER.
AND THEN HE'S DOWN THERE.
AND I HEAR A SPLASH.
HOLD ON.
I SEE A BODY IN THE WATER.
-WAIT.
WHAT? -A FEMALE.
I CAN SEE HER BODY.
IZZY.
IT'S IZZY, OR IT'S LIZZY.
EMILY SAID THE SAME NAME.
THAT'S THE NAME SHE SAID LAST NIGHT? YEAH.
ELIZABETH.
UM SHE HAS, UM, DARK HAIR.
UM, HER EYES ARE ALMOST LIKE CAT EYES.
THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT HER THROAT, SHE KEEPS TELLIN' ME.
AND THERE'S ANOTHER GIRL DOWN HERE, TOO.
-MORE THAN ONE FEMALE? -MORE THAN ONE.
CAN YOU DESCRIBE WHAT THE GUY LOOKS LIKE? HE HAS A SCAR ON HIS FACE.
OH.
HOLD ON.
HE -- HE JUST YELLED.
MM.
"YOU -- YOU LITTLE BITCH.
" -WHO SAID THAT? -HE DID.
I'M FEELING THAT HE COULD'VE KILLED THESE GIRLS.
OH.
HOLD ON.
HE -- HE JUST YELLED.
"YOU -- YOU LITTLE BITCH.
" Groff: WHO SAID THAT? HE DID, THE MAN WITH THE SCAR ON HIS FACE.
I'M FEELING THAT HE COULD'VE KILLED THESE GIRLS.
WOW.
LAST NIGHT, EMILY SAID SHE SAW A FEMALE FLOATING DOWN THE WATER WHO WENT BY THE NAME OF ELIZABETH.
NOW LORIE'S PICKING UP ON TWO FEMALE SPIRITS AND ALSO THE PRESENCE OF A NEGATIVE MALE ENTITY THAT POSSIBLY MURDERED BOTH FEMALES.
SO YOU BELIEVE EMILY SAW A REAL SPIRI OF A BODY FLOATING THROUGH THE WATER? ABSOLUTELY.
THESE GIRLS ARE WANTING ATTENTION.
THEY WANT EVERYBODY TO KNOW THAT THEY ARE HERE, AND THEY'RE NOT FORGOTTEN.
THESE GIRLS, I DON'T BELIEVE THAT THERE MURDERER WAS CAUGHT, AND THEY KNOW IT.
WE HAVE TO GE AHOLD OF ELIZABETH AND SEE IF SHE CAN DIG UP ANY INFORMATION ON THIS MURDER.
SOUNDS GOOD.
HEY, ELIZABETH? HEY.
WHAT'S UP? OKAY.
DID SHE DESCRIBE HIM AT ALL? LIKE SCARS? YEAH.
OKAY.
THAT'S A LITTLE CREEPY.
OKAY.
NOW THAT WE HAVE A FEW MORE CLUES, I'M HOPING THAT I CAN FIGURE SOMETHING OU AS TO WHO WE'RE DEALING WITH.
BUT THERE ARE A LOT OF CASE FILES HERE TO GO THROUGH.
SO, UM, HOPEFULLY, DANA CAN HELP ME OUT MORE WITH THIS.
HMM.
-HERE'S SOMETHING.
-YOU HAVE SOMETHING? MAYBE.
IT'S A MARY ELIZABETH FELLERS FROM BELTSVILLE AND A SHELBY JEAN VENABLE FROM NORTH LAUREL, MARYLAND.
BELTSVILLE, MARYLAND, IS MY HOMETOWN.
-REALLY? -I GREW UP THERE.
MM-HMM.
MARY ELIZABETH WAS 18.
AND SHELBY JEAN WAS 16.
THERE'S SOME NEWSPAPER ARTICLES HERE.
"NO NEW CLUES IN TWO DEATHS.
" THAT'S DATED JUNE 19th, 1956.
"DOGGED POLICE WORK CONTINUED TODAY BUT FAILED TO TURN UP ANY ANNOUNCED CLUES TO THE SLAYING OF TWO MARYLAND GIRLS WHOSE BODIES WERE FOUND IN THE POTOMAC RIVER WATERS LAST WEEK.
" THE STORY IS THAT, ON JUNE 1st, 1956, AROUND SIX O'CLOCK P.
M.
, MARY ELIZABETH FELLERS AND HER FRIEND, SHELBY VENABLE, TELL MARY ELIZABETH'S PARENTS THAT THEY'RE GOING TO THE MOVIES.
[ HORN HONKS .]
THEIR NUDE BODIES WERE FOUND 9 MILES APAR IN THE POTOMAC RIVER.
THE MEDICAL EXAMINER SAID THAT SHELBY JEAN WAS STRANGLED TO DEATH.
THE LIKELIHOOD IS THAT THE SAME HAPPENED TO MARY ELIZABETH.
REALLY? THAT'S SO STRANGE.
NOW, THIS IS LITERALLY WHAT LORIE DESCRIBED.
SHE MENTIONED SOMETHING GOING ON WITH ONE OF THE GIRLS' THROATS.
AND ALSO, THE GIRL POSSIBLY WITH THE NAME ELIZABETH.
AND THERE WAS POSSIBLY SOME SORT OF SCARRING OR SOMETHING ON THE MAN'S FACE.
-IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE? -LET'S SEE.
LOOK AT THAT.
"HUNT SCARRED MAN IN DEATH OF TEEN GIRLS.
" SAYS THE GIRLS WERE SEEN GETTING INTO A BLUE FORD CAR DRIVEN BY A SCAR-FACED MAN JUST BEFORE THEY DISAPPEARED JUNE 1st.
I -- I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT YOU FOUND THIS.
THAT JUST GIVES ME A SHIVER THAT SHE WAS FROM BELTSVILLE, MY HOMETOWN.
I CAN PICTURE THEIR LIFE ALMOST.
[ GRUNTING .]
IT MUST BE SO VERY PAINFUL TO BE TAKEN AWAY FROM HOME, FROM SOMEBODY SHE PROBABLY TRUSTED, AND LEFT HERE AND FORGOTTEN ABOUT.
THIS CASE FEELS QUITE CLOSE TO HOME.
I'D NEVER HEARD THE STORY BEFORE.
AND THAT'S SAD.
I THINK IT WAS ALL FORGOTTEN.
AND THEY SHOULDN'T BE FORGOTTEN.
IF THAT'S WHAT EMILY SAW, THE SPIRIT OF MARY ELIZABETH, THEN WE DEFINITELY HAVE TO FIND SOME WAY TO PUT THE SPIRIT AT REST.
WELL, I'M GOING TO STAR RESEARCHING INTO MORE NEWSPAPERS.
I WANT TO FIND MORE OU ABOUT THIS CASE.
Hartley: WE'RE HEADING DOWN TO THE POTOMAC TO DO THE NIGHT INVESTIGATION.
LORIE IS GOING TO BE JOINING US BECAUSE, WHEN WE WERE DOWN THERE DURING THE DAY, LORIE WAS PICKING UP ON SOME STUFF THAT'S INSPIRING US TO WANT TO COME BACK AND DO A MORE THOROUGH INVESTIGATION WITH OUR EQUIPMEN AND SEE IF WE CAN MAYBE PICK UP ON SOME OF THE STUFF THAT SHE WAS ACTUALLY READING.
-EMILY, JAKE, HOW YOU DOIN'? -GOOD.
HOW ARE YOU? GOOD TO SEE YOU? THIS IS ELIZABETH AND LORIE.
-HI.
-HI.
HOW ARE YOU? YOU GUYS, I'M A PSYCHIC MEDIUM.
I DON'T LIKE TO KNOW ANYTHING AHEAD OF TIME.
SO THAT WAY, I DON'T FEED OFF OF WHAT YOU SAID.
I WANT TO BE ABLE TO SEE IT WITH MY SENSE.
-ALL RIGHT.
-OKAY.
WHAT I'M GONNA GIVE YOU GUYS IS A RADIO AND A FLASHLIGHT.
REMEMBER, DON'T GO TOO FAR.
YOU KNOW, THIS IS THE WOODS.
IT'S VERY DARK.
I DON'T WANT TO SEE ANYBODY GET LOST OR HURT.
AND WE'LL KEEP UP RADIO CONTACT.
-OKAY.
-LET'S GO.
Groff: AND YOU HAVE THIS INFRARED CAMERA ON YOUR CELL PHONE.
Saint: YEAH.
SO YOU MOUNTED THE LENS ON TOP OF YOUR CAMERA? YEAH.
IT'S LIKE A CASE THAT GOES OVER TOP OF THE PHONE.
THAT LOOKS AWESOME.
IF YOU SEE ANY HEA SIGNATURE IN THE THERMAL, THEN YOU'RE GONNA KNOW IT'S SOME SORT OF ANIMAL OR SOMETHING LIVING.
ANYTHING WITH COLD SPOTS, ANY COLD MASSES, IT'S POSSIBLY SPIRITUAL ENERGY OR A GHOST OR WHATNOT.
RIGHT.
-YOU ALL RIGHT, BILL? -I'M GOOD.
ALL RIGHT.
WE'RE GOING DOWN THIS WAY.
WATCH YOUR -- WATCH YOUR FEET.
THERE'S, LIKE, HOLES AND STUFF.
Johnson: ELI-- ELIZABETH.
OH, I SEE HER NOW.
OH, WOW.
UM -WHAT'S THAT? -THE GIRL.
WHICH ONE? I BELIEVE THIS GIRL HERE WAS KILLED FIRST.
THE NAME STARTS WITH THE "S" -- "S.
" -SHELBY? -SHELBY.
YEAH.
SHE'S -- SHE'S WANTING TO KNOW, "ARE YOU GONNA HELP ME?" SHELBY, CAN YOU COME OUT TO MY VOICE AND COMMUNICATE WITH ME? CAN YOU WALK OVER TO US? SHELBY, ARE YOU HERE IN FRONT OF US? SHE'S PULLING A LO OF ENERGY FROM ME.
KEEP TALKING.
I'M NOT HERE TO HURT YOU.
I'M HERE TO HELP YOU.
OH, OOH.
HOLD ON.
I'M GETTING, "HE HURT ME.
HE -- HE CHOKED ME AND HIT MY HEAD.
" HURRY.
KEEP TALKING TO HER.
DON'T MAKE ME LOSE HER.
POINT ME IN THE DIRECTION OF WHO HURT YOU SO I CAN GO TALK TO THAT MAN.
SHE -- SHE'S SCARED.
SHE SAID, "FIND LIZZY FOR ME, PLEASE.
" OH, WOW.
G-- GUYS, WAIT.
SHE WANTS LIZZY.
I CAN'T FIND HER.
I JUST CAN'T FIND HER.
LIZZY.
SHE RAN IN THE WATER, GUYS.
HE RAN AFTER LIZZY.
SHE'S RUNNING.
-SHE IS.
SHE'S GOING.
-ALL RIGHT.
STAY THERE.
I'M GONNA TRY TO CAPTURE HER ON THE THERMAL.
I JUST HEARD THE SPLASH RIGHT HERE.
-ALL RIGHT.
-SHE'S RUNNING.
GO.
HURRY.
LIZZY.
SHE RAN IN THE WATER, GUYS.
HE RAN AFTER LIZZY.
SHE'S RUNNING.
-SHE IS.
SHE'S GOING.
-ALL RIGHT.
STAY THERE.
I'M GONNA TRY TO CAPTURE HER ON THE THERMAL.
I JUST HEARD THE SPLASH RIGHT HERE.
-ALL RIGHT.
-SHE'S RUNNING.
GO.
HURRY.
LIZZY? LIZZY, ARE YOU HERE? [ CREAKING, THUD .]
Saint: WHAT IS THAT? WHOA.
DID YOU HEAR THE LIGHTNING? WAS THAT LIGHTNING OR A TREE FALLING? LISTEN.
[ WIND WHISTLING .]
[ CREAKING, THUD .]
-THE HELL IS THAT? -THAT WASN'T LIGHTNING.
THAT SOUNDED LIKE SOMETHING FALLING.
Groff: THAT WAS A TREE COLLAPSING.
YEAH.
IT SOUNDED LIKE A TREE FALL OR SOMETHING.
THAT CAME -- THAT CAME FROM RIGHT UP HERE.
LET'S GO CHECK THAT OUT.
-JUST BE CAREFUL, PLEASE.
-YOU GUYS COMING? I'M GONNA HANG BACK HERE WITH LORIE.
LET'S GO.
NICK, YOU'RE GONNA FALL.
I CAN SEE IT.
ALMOST FELL.
I'M ALL RIGHT.
OH, [BLEEP.]
NICK, YOU ALL RIGHT? YOU OKAY? YEAH.
THE ENERGY OF THE MALE, HE'S PUSHING YOU.
LET'S KEEP MOVING.
Saint: ALL RIGHT.
THERE'S A CLEARING HERE.
ALL RIGHT.
THAT CRASH WAS REALLY LOUD.
IT HAD TO COME FROM BACK IN THIS WOODS SOMEWHERE.
I CAN'T SEE ANYTHING, THOUGH.
IT'S COMPLETELY DARK OUT HERE.
Johnson: LIZZY IS ACTUALLY SHOWING ME THE MALE.
SO HE'S FACING THIS WAY TO ME.
OH, HE IS PISSED.
HE'S CHOKING HER.
SHE STRUGGLED.
I'M WONDERING IF EMILY AND JAKE ARE PICKING UP ON ANYTHING.
EMILY, JAKE, WHERE ARE YOU GUYS? EMILY? JAKE? BILL, IS EMILY AND JAKE WITH YOU? EMILY, ARE YOU THERE? CAN YOU HEAR ME? WE HAVEN'T SEEN THEM SINCE WE GOT HERE? THEY'RE NOT RESPONDING.
ALL RIGHT.
WE GOT TO GO.
BILL, WE GOT TO GO FIND EMILY AND JAKE.
THEY'RE NOT RESPONDING TO MY CALL.
YEAH.
COPY THAT.
LET'S GO.
LET'S GO.
EMILY? EMILY? EMILY? JAKE? YOU GUYS AROUND? -YOU GUYS ALL RIGHT? -YEAH.
WE'RE GOOD.
-WE'RE LOOKIN' FOR THEM.
-OH, MY GOD.
Hartley: THINK I JUST SAW A FLASHLIGH OVER IN THE WOODS OVER THERE.
-SEE RIGHT THERE? LOOK.
-WAY UP ON THE HILL.
Saint: THERE'S SOMEONE BACK THERE.
Groff: EMILY? JAKE? EMILY? JAKE? -YEAH? -OH.
GEEZ, I COULDN'T -- YOU GUYS DIDN'T HEAR US ON THE WALKIE? -NO.
-NO.
Groff: OH.
I GOT WORRIED SOMETHIN' HAPPENED TO YOU GUYS.
-ARE YOU OKAY? -YEAH.
WHAT HAPPENED? WE HEARD SOMETHING UP HERE, SO WE CAME UP HERE.
AND WE WERE JUST KIND OF LOOKING AROUND, TRYING TO FIGURE OU WHAT WE HEARD, AND, UM IT'S LIKE SHE WAS PULLED UP HERE.
SO YOU FELT DRAWN TO THIS AREA? SHE JUST STARTED WALKING THIS WAY.
AND I JUST FOLLOWED HER UP HERE.
CAME AROUND AND THERE SHE WAS.
Groff: YOU'RE TALKIN' ABOUT THE SPIRIT? YEAH, ELIZABETH.
SHE HAD BRUISES ON HER NECK.
SHE LOOKED LIKE SHE WAS VERY UPSET.
SHE WAS MUMBLING SOMETHING.
WITCH.
SOMETHING LIKE "WITCH.
" WITCH.
AND SHE WENT AROUND THE CORNER AND WAS GONE.
WHERE -- WHERE WAS -- SHE WAS RIGHT UP HERE BY THIS ROCK.
BILL, DO YOU WANT TO CLIMB UP THERE AND SEE IF YOU GET ANYTHING? Hartley: I'M NOT SEEING ANYTHING.
WAIT.
THAT'S INCREDIBLE.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN? WHAT ARE YOU TALKIN' ABOUT? YOU GUYS MAY WANT TO COME HERE AND CHECK THIS OUT.
-SERIOUSLY? -DO YOU SEE THAT? HOLY Groff: BILL, DO YOU WANT TO CLIMB UP THERE AND SEE IF YOU GET ANYTHING? Hartley: I'M NOT SEEING ANYTHING.
WAIT.
THAT'S INCREDIBLE.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN? WHAT ARE YOU TALKIN' ABOUT? YOU GUYS MAY WANT TO COME HERE AND CHECK THIS OUT.
DO YOU SEE THAT? HOLY [BLEEP.]
.
CAN YOU GUYS SEE THIS? THERE'S AN UPSIDE-DOWN CROSS ON THE ROCK HERE.
SERIOUSLY? HERE, LET ME SEE.
COME HERE.
CHECK THIS OUT.
Johnson: THAT IS NOT COOL TO ME.
YEAH.
THIS IS A NEGATIVE AREA.
WE'VE GOT EVIL WITCHERY HERE.
Emily: I KNOW THAT WE HAVE WICCANS IN THE AREA.
BUT I'VE NEVER BEEN AWARE OF ANYTHING WITH UPSIDE-DOWN CROSSES.
WHY WOULD SOMEBODY PUT THIS RIGHT HERE, ESPECIALLY AN UPSIDE-DOWN CROSS? THEY DOING SATANIC STUFF UP HERE, RITUALS? WITCHCRAFT.
NORMALLY, THE SIGNIFICANCE WITH UPSIDE-DOWN CROSS MEANS THERE IS SOME SORT OF SATANIC WORSHIP OR SOMETHING TO DO WITH A WITCH.
-WHAT? -I DON'T KNOW.
Groff: WHAT'S THE MATTER? Saint: NO, I JUST FELT LIKE I SAW SOMEONE OVER HERE.
-WHERE? -RIGHT HERE.
IT WAS LIKE SOMEONE JUST STEPPED TO ME BUT HAD A MALE ENERGY.
-I FEEL NAUSEOUS.
-YOU -- YOU FEEL NAUSEOUS? I FEEL LIKE I WANT TO THROW UP.
WEIRD.
I DIDN'T FEEL THAT WAY UNTIL I GOT UP HERE.
REALLY? 'CAUSE WHEN I WAS STANDIN' UP HERE NEAR THIS CROSS ON THE ROCK, I FELT LIKE I WAS IN THIS WHIRLWIND.
MY BODY FELT LIKE I WAS GONNA FALL OVER.
THERE'S SOMETHING WEIRD ABOUT THESE WOODS.
EVERY TIME YOU, LIKE, FLASH YOUR LIGHT, I SEE FACES.
-UP THIS WAY? -YEAH.
LIKE, HE'LL FLASH HIS LIGHT, AND I'D SEE A FACE.
HE'LL FLASH IT AGAIN, I'LL SEE ANOTHER FACE.
Johnson: YEP.
Emily: WHATEVER IT IS, IT'S NOT NICE.
Groff: I WANT TO GO AFTER WHATEVER THIS NEGATIVE IS.
YEAH.
HOLD THIS AND JUST AIM IT UP IN THAT DIRECTION.
TELL ME IF YOU SEE ANYTHING.
Johnson: JUST BE CAREFUL, PLEASE.
WHO'S UP HERE? IF YOU'RE HERE, CAN YOU SHOW YOURSELF SO WE CAN SEE YOU? IF THERE'S A NEGATIVE PRESENCE HERE, WE NEED YOU TO SHOW YOURSELF.
YOU -- YOU'RE BEIN' SURROUNDED RIGHT NOW.
FEELS COLD.
YEAH.
HE PISSED HIM OFF.
-HOLY [BLEEP.]
.
-WHAT IS GOING ON? I FEEL LIKE JUST NEGATIVE JUST SURROUNDED MY BODY.
AND I FEEL YEAH.
YOU'RE BEING SURROUNDED.
OH, MY GOD.
IT JUST HIT ME.
Saint: DID YOU HEAR THAT? WHO IS THAT? I JUST HEARD SOMEBODY SAY, "YOU BETTER GO.
" Hartley: BE CAREFUL.
THERE'S, LIKE, THIS DARK MALE VOICE THAT SAID, "GET OUT.
" -THERE'S SOMETHING UP HERE.
-I KNOW.
WE HEAR THAT.
THERE'S SOMETHING RED GLOWING IN THE DARK.
Johnson: YEAH.
DON'T GO TOO FAR 'CAUSE I SAW IT DOWN THERE.
NO.
THERE'S SOMETHIN' UP HERE.
-NICK! -NICK! OH, YEAH.
WE'VE GOT EYES EVERYWHERE.
-OHH.
-WHAT IS IT? Jake: TELL ME WHAT IT IS.
Saint: NICK, THERE'S SOMETHING BEHIND YOU.
-OH, IT'S A FEMALE, YEP! -THERE! RIGHT THERE! YEAH! RIGHT BEHIND YOU! THERE'S SOMEBODY, LIKE, CROUCHING BEHIND YOU.
-IT'S A FEMALE.
-THERE'S TWO OF THEM.
-THERE'S TWO.
-WHERE? I DON'T SEE IT.
THERE'S TWO INHUMAN-LOOKING THINGS LOOKING BEHIND YOU.
WHERE? WHERE'D HE GO? -DISAPPEARED.
-YEAH.
I DON'T SEE WHA YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.
CAN YOU STILL SEE IT? NOT RIGHT NOW.
I'M TELLING YOU, ONE THING CAME UP BEHIND YOU.
AND THEN ON THE OTHER SIDE, A SECOND ONE EMERGED.
LIKE, THEY WERE COMING FROM THE GROUND.
SHOULD I COME BACK DOWN? YEAH.
I THINK SO.
-BILL, ARE YOU -- -OH, [BLEEP.]
! Saint: THERE'S SOMEONE BEHIND BILL.
THERE'S -- OH, SOMEONE'S TOUCHING YOUR BACK.
-YEP.
IT'S A FEMALE.
-SHE'S RIGHT THERE.
UM, SHE'S GOT FINGERNAILS, LONG FINGERNAILS.
BILL, ARE YOU OKAY? NO.
I LITERALLY AM NAUSEOUS, AND I'M DIZZY.
CAN YOU PLEASE LET GO OF HIM.
Saint: SHE'S, LIKE, HIDING BEHIND YOUR BACK, CROUCHED OVER LIKE THIS.
-RIGHT BEHIND ME? -BEHIND YOU.
YOU MAY NO ATTACH YOURSELF TO BILL.
BILL, YOU NEED TO TELL THEM TO RELEASE YOU.
RIGHT NOW, I'M HAVING AN ANXIETY RUSH.
-ALL RIGHT.
LET ME GET UP THERE.
-I FEEL LIKE I NEED TO LAY DOWN.
Johnson: HE'S COLD TO ME.
WHY ARE YOU COLD? I DON'T KNOW.
I FEEL HOT.
NO.
YOUR BODY'S COLD TO ME.
-OH, MY GOD.
-HE'S GOT AN ATTACHMENT.
HIS -- HIS ARM IS FREEZING.
HIS -- HIS WHOLE BODY'S FREE-- I CAN FEEL HE'S COLD RIGHT HERE.
HE'S FROZEN.
HE NEEDS TO BE RELEASED.
WE NEED TO GET HIM OUT NOW.
Groff: FOR MORE "GHOSTS OF SHEPHERDSTOWN," VISIT destinationamerica.
com.
Johnson: YOUR BODY'S COLD TO ME.
-OH, MY GOD.
-HE'S GOT AN ATTACHMENT.
THIS IS WEIRD.
HIS ARM IS FREEZING.
HIS -- HIS WHOLE BODY'S FREE-- I CAN FEEL HE'S COLD RIGHT HERE.
HE'S FROZEN.
HE NEEDS TO BE RELEASED.
WE NEED TO GET HIM OUT NOW.
-NICK.
-NICK.
Hartley: I'M ALSO DIZZY AS HELL.
WATCH THESE ROCKS.
Groff: YOU OKAY? YOU FEELIN' BETTER NOW, NOW THAT YOU'RE DOWN HERE? I STILL FEEL KIND OF WEAK.
IT'S STILL ATTACHED TO YOU.
I CAN STILL SEE IT.
FINGERNAILS, LONG FINGERNAILS.
-OH, WOW.
-I SEE IT RIGHT HERE.
THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT IT LOOKED LIKE, LIKE SOMEONE WAS CROUCHED OVER LIKE THIS BEHIND YOU, YEAH.
NEGATIVES DO NOT LIKE SAGE.
I WANT TO DO SAGE AROUND BILL AND EVERYONE, INCLUDING THE CAMERA PEOPLE.
DO YOU MIND, BILL? -GO FOR IT.
-OKAY.
IT'S DONE.
HE'S CLEAR.
Groff: LET'S TRY TO COLLEC THE DOTS NOW.
IT STARTS OFF AS A SIMPLE INVESTIGATION.
WE COME OUT HERE 'CAUSE WE WANT TO SEARCH OU WHAT EMILY EXPERIENCED AND WHAT SHE SAW.
BUT WE'RE DRAWN UP TO THIS WEIRD AREA UP IN THE WOODS THAT I WAS NOT EXPECTING.
IT'S ALMOST LIKE THIS NEGATIVE FORCE WAS DRAWING US AWAY FROM THESE GIRLS WHO WERE MURDERED DOWN HERE.
I HAVEN'T SEEN BILL SHAKEN UP LIKE THIS.
I MEAN, HE'S A HARD ONE TO FREAKIN' TOPPLE DOWN LIKE -- LIKE HE IS RIGHT NOW.
AND WHAT YOU TWO ARE EXPERIENCING THERE'S SOMETHING ELSE UP THERE.
-YEAH.
THERE'S -- -WELL, THAT'S -- THERE'S THAT, BUT THEN THERE'S SOMETHING, LIKE, REALLY NEGATIVE.
I THINK, ONCE WE CROSSED THE THRESHOLD OVER THERE WHERE THESE RITUALS POSSIBLY HAVE TAKEN PLACE, IT OPENED UP SOMETHING NEGATIVE, MORE INHUMANE.
Johnson: ABSOLUTELY.
DO YOU THINK THIS FORCE UP IN THE WOODS THAT WE ALL EXPERIENCED TONIGH WAS SCARING THE SPIRITS OF LIZZY AND SHELBY? ABSOLUTELY.
I BELIEVE THAT WE NEED TO PUT THE GIRLS TO REST.
-ALL RIGHT.
-SO I BELIEVE THAT WE -- I NEED TO GO DOWN TO THE WATER AND RELEASE THEM TO THE LIGHT.
WELL, LET'S TRY TO HELP THEM MOVE ON.
OKAY.
Johnson: EVEN THOUGH IT'S THIS TIME OF NIGHT, I CALLED DANA, UM, 'CAUSE I KNEW THAT SHE HAS BEEN WORKING ON THE CASE AND WAS VERY ATTACHED TO THESE GIRLS.
I COLLECTED STICKS TO MAKE CROSSES FOR THESE TWO GIRLS.
AND THEN WE'LL BURN SOME CANDLES.
Saint: OKAY.
-IS THAT GOOD? -THAT'S PERFECT.
THESE CANDLES ARE TO PROTECT YOU AND TO SEND YOU OFF.
I'M GOING TO BLESS IN THE NAME OF SHELBY AND LIZZY.
-HEY.
HEY! -HEY, DANA.
HOW ARE YOU DOING? WELL, HELLO, MS.
DANA.
WELL, HELLO.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR COMING DOWN.
WELL, I BROUGHT SOME PINK ROSES FROM MY GARDEN.
OH, I LOVE THIS IDEA.
HAVE A COUPLE OF BRACELETS.
OH, WOW.
THEY'RE BEAUTIFUL.
I'M GONNA TAKE THE CROSSES.
WE CAN PUT 'EM TOGETHER TO LET THESE GIRLS KNOW THEY'RE NOT EVER GONNA SEPARATE AGAIN.
WE STAND HERE TO RELEASE SHELBY AND MARY ELIZABETH.
AND WE'RE GONNA RELEASE THE BOTH OF YOU TOGETHER FROM THE EVIL MAN THAT MURDERED THEM.
I WOULD LOVE FOR YOU TO THROW FIRST.
BEAUTIFUL.
GO TO THE LIGHT.
YOU'RE RELEASED.
GOOD NIGHT, GIRLS.
Groff: THAT NIGHT INVESTIGATION WAS ABSOLUTELY CRAZY.
HOW YOU BEEN FEELING? UM, I FEEL -- FEEL BETTER SINCE WE DID IT.
-DEFINITELY A LOT BETTER.
-THIS INVESTIGATION, IT HITS VERY CLOSE TO MY HEAR BECAUSE MARY ELIZABETH WAS FROM MY HOMETOWN.
SO I REALLY WANTED TO SEE JUSTICE FOR THEM.
I FOUND THIS ONE ARTICLE FROM JUNE 16th, 1956.
AND IT TALKS ABOUT, "POLICE ARE TO QUESTION A SCAR-FACED MAN WHOSE DESCRIPTION COULD FI THE CHIEF SUSPEC IN THE MURDERS OF THE GIRLS.
" NOW, DID THEY EVER CATCH THE GUY, THOUGH? YOU KNOW, THAT'S THE THING.
THEY NEVER MADE AN ARREST.
THEY NEVER EVEN HAD A REAL VALID SUSPECT.
THEY WERE BURIED NEAR THE END OF JUNE, AND THAT'S IT.
THERE'S NOTHING ELSE MORE ABOUT THEM.
IT'S AMAZING THAT YOU WERE ABLE TO DIG UP ALL THIS RESEARCH AND ALL THIS INFORMATION.
I HAVE ACTUALLY A PHOTOGRAPH.
-YOU HAVE A PICTURE OF HER? -I HAVE -- YES.
OH, WOW.
THIS IS ELIZABETH RIGHT HERE.
YEAH.
THAT'S ELIZABETH.
YEAH.
HAVE YOU SEEN THIS PICTURE YET? WHAT DO YOU THINK? THAT'S HER.
DO YOU FEEL CONNECTED TO HER? I CAN TELL YOU GET CHOKED UP.
I GUESS I -- I'M SAD THAT THIS HAD TO HAPPEN, BUT I'M KIND OF RELIEVED AT THE SAME TIME BECAUSE [ Voice breaking .]
IT DOES VALIDATE ME AND WHAT I EXPERIENCE.
I'M GLAD THAT WE WERE ABLE TO ACTUALLY FIND SOMETHING, BECAUSE I'M NOT JUST HAVING THESE PSYCHOTIC EPISODES OR SOMETHING.
THIS WAS A REAL, LIVING PERSON.
-MM-HMM.
-WELL, YOU DID A GOOD JOB.
YOU BROUGH CLOSURE TO HER.
MM-HMM.
I MEAN, THAT'S A REALLY BIG DEAL.
IN A WAY, I DO KIND OF FEEL LIKE SHE'S KNOWN.
PEOPLE KNOW WHAT HAPPENED.
SO THEY WON' FORGET HER NOW.
WE WERE ABLE TO DO JUSTICE ON ELIZABETH AND SHELBY.
-MM-HMM.
-BUT WHAT I DON'T UNDERSTAND STILL IS HOW THE INVESTIGATION WENT IN A DIFFERENT PATH TO KIND OF THIS DARKER FORCE, THIS DARKER PRESENCE THAT WAS THERE.
WHEN I HAD SEEN LIZZY, SHE WAS KIND OF WALKING AWAY FROM ME.
AND THAT'S WHEN SHE MUMBLED SOMETHING ABOUT A WITCH.
I WASN'T SURE WHAT THAT HAD TO DO WITH WHAT WAS GOING ON.
I'M JUST -- I'M TAKING A SHOT IN THE DARK HERE, BUT WHAT IF THESE UPSIDE-DOWN CROSSES UP DEEP INTO THE FOREST HAVE SOMETHING THAT HAS TO DO WITH THIS WITCH? I FEEL LIKE WE DID JUSTICE.
BUT I REALLY THINK THERE'S SOMETHING DARKER HAPPENING HERE WITH SHEPHERDSTOWN.
YOU KNOW, THIS NEGATIVE FORCE IN THIS WILDERNESS.
I DON'T KNOW.
WHAT IS THIS WITCH? WHO IS SHE? IS IT A LEGEND? OR IS SHE A REAL PERSON THAT IS NOW HAUNTING ALL OF SHEPHERDSTOWN?
D.
WHAT'S YOUR EMERGENCY? [ TIRES SQUEAL .]
[ SIREN WAILS .]
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 THAT 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.
UH, 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 'EM.
SO I'VE ACTUALLY HAD TO DO WHAT NO OTHER POLICE DEPARTMENT'S DONE BEFORE.
I'VE ASSEMBLED SOME OF THE BES 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 IT'S PRETTY CLEAR THA THERE'S AN INCREASE IN PARANORMAL ACTIVITY IN THE TOWN.
BUT WE JUST CAN'T FIGURE OU WHAT EXACTLY IS CAUSING I AND WHERE THE SOURCE IS COMING FROM.
RIGHT.
I MEAN, WE HAVE A LOT OF LOCATIONS, A LOT OF AREAS THAT WE'VE INVESTIGATED.
YEAH.
WELL, LET'S RUN DOWN THE LIST.
THE SWEET SHOP ON GERMAN STREET.
WITH THE SAFE AND WITH THE BABY SHOE.
THE THING IS, LAST COUPLE OF TIMES, EVEN AFTER WE SOLVED THOSE CASES, WE FELT THERE WAS SOMETHING DARK.
WE HAD RAY-RAY KEEPIN' OUT A DARK ENTITY WHICH LEFT THE SNIDER HOUSE BUT MOVED SOMEWHERE ELSE IN TOWN.
AND THEN WE HAVE CASE NUMBER FOUR, CARI BEING STALKED BY A DARK MALE SPIRI RIGHT AT THE CLOCK TOWER.
RIGHT, WHERE THE TOWN RUN IS.
AND THAT'S WHERE OUR EQUIPMENT SPIKED.
I DON'T KNOW WHY, THOUGH.
EVERY CASE IS STARTING TO ESCALATE ON A NEGATIVE.
AND THIS KIND OF NEGATIVE FORCE IS TAKING OVER.
SO WE HAVE TO GO AFTER THAT NEGATIVE.
IT'S LIKE SEARCHING FOR A NEEDLE IN A HAYSTACK.
IT DEFINITELY IS.
THIS IS MIKE.
HEY, GO AHEAD, MIKE.
YOU GOT BILL.
YEAH.
COPY THAT.
WE'RE ON OUR WAY.
Groff: HEY, MIKE.
HOW'S IT GOIN'? THANKS FOR COMIN'.
WELL, JAKE AND EMILY, THEY WERE OUT FOR A NIGHT UNDER THE STARS.
AND EMILY HEARS A SPLASH IN THE WATER AND SAYS SHE SEES A BODY FLOATIN' DOWN THE RIVER.
JAKE HASN'T SEEN ANYTHING.
BUT THEY RUN UP, AND THEY CALL.
WE GOT HERE RIGHT AWAY.
JIMMY WENT UP THE RIVER.
I WENT DOWN THE RIVER AS FAR AS WE COULD GO.
UM, WE HAVE NOTHING.
NOW, I'VE ALSO CALLED MARYLAND DNR, WEST VIRGINIA DNR, AND THE OTHER POLICE AGENCIES IN THE AREA.
NO ONE HAS ANY MISSING PERSONS.
AND NO ONE HAS ANY BOATING ACCIDENTS OR FISHERMEN WHO DID NOT RETURN.
AND THAT WATER'S NOT DEEP ENOUGH FOR SOMEONE TO GO SUBMERGED? NO.
YOU ALMOST HAVE TO HAVE A JET BOAT IN HERE.
IT'S THAT SHALLOW.
SO EVERYTHING'S GONNA WASH UP EVENTUALLY.
YEAH.
AND IT GETS SHALLOWER AS IT GOES DOWN.
THAT'S WHY I CALLED YOU 'CAUSE IT'S A LITTLE STRANGE.
PROBABLY BE GOOD FOR YOU GUYS TO TALK TO 'EM.
ABSOLUTELY.
King: THE PARANORMAL TEAM'S BEEN DOING A GOOD JOB.
THEY'RE GIVING RESOLUTION TO SOME OF THESE CASES ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS.
BUT UNFORTUNATELY, I'M STILL GETTING CALLS DAILY THAT ARE STRANGE IN NATURE.
HOPEFULLY, THE TEAM CAN GET SOME ANSWERS, MAYBE SLOW SOME OF THESE TYPE CALLS DOWN.
WE'RE GONNA BE CLOSE BY.
IF YOU SHOULD FIND ANYTHING RIGHT.
PLEASE GIVE US A CALL.
WE'LL COME RIGHT BACK DOWN.
ALL RIGHT.
THANKS, GUYS.
GOOD LUCK TO YOU.
HI, EMILY, NICK.
-HI.
-NICE TO MEET YOU.
HEY.
BILL.
GOOD TO MEET YOU.
DO YOU WANT TO COME OVER HERE? AND WE CAN TALK AND YEAH.
THAT'S FINE.
HOW YOU DOING? YOU ALL RIGHT? I'M OKAY.
JUST TAKE ME FROM THE BEGINNING OF THIS INCIDENT.
YOU GUYS WERE JUS TAKING A STROLL.
YOU WERE COMING OUT HERE DURING THE NIGHT AND YEAH.
WE HAD COME DOWN HERE, UM, JUST TO GET AWAY FROM CAMPUS FOR A LITTLE WHILE, HAVE KIND OF, LIKE, A RELAXING EVENING.
AND WE HEARD THIS BIG SPLASH.
[ SPLASH .]
AND IT WAS BIGGER THAN A FISH.
BUT IT WAS KIND OF FARTHER UP AWAY FROM US.
WE GOT UP, WENT OVER TO SEE WHAT IT WAS.
AND I SAW A WOMAN IN THE WATER.
-YOU DIDN'T SEE THIS? -I DID NOT SEE THE BODY.
-BUT YOU DID HEAR THE SPLASH? -I DID HEAR THE SPLASH.
I TOLD JAKE, "WE NEED TO GO CALL SOMEONE 'CAUSE SOMEONE NEEDS TO BE DOWN HERE.
" -YEAH.
-AND WE CALLED.
AND WHEN WE CAME BACK DOWN, THERE WAS NOTHING HERE.
THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME.
SHE SEEMS TO SEE THINGS A LOT.
IT'S EVEN STARTED TO AFFECT US AS A COUPLE.
IT'S A CONSTAN BARRAGE OF -- OF PEOPLE THA I CAN'T SEE OR HEAR BUT SHE TELLS ME ARE THERE.
HAVE YOU SEEN UNEXPLAINABLE THINGS LIKE THIS BEFORE? OR IS THIS KIND OF THE FIRS TIME THAT'S HAPPENED? NO.
IT'S ACTUALLY HAPPENED A LOT.
-REALLY? -UM, YEAH.
ARE YOU A SENSITIVE, OR ARE YOU IN TUNE TO THE PARANORMAL? I HAD SOME ABILITIES WHEN I WAS A LITTLE KID.
UM, THINGS REALLY RAMPED UP WHEN WE MOVED HERE.
I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING THINGS ON A DAILY BASIS EVER SINCE.
[ Voice breaking .]
IT'S REALLY, REALLY HARD FOR ME TO TALK ABOUT I 'CAUSE I HAVE FELT THAT I NEED TO BE PUT ON SOME SORT OF MEDS.
LOOK, I'VE TALKED TO THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE, PEOPLE WITH SPECIAL ABILITIES THAT CAN UNDERSTAND THAT THIS CAN MAKE YOU FEEL A LITTLE BI LIKE YOU'RE GOING CRAZY BECAUSE YOU'RE SEEING THINGS.
YEAH.
BUT YOU'RE JUS TRYIN' TO STAY GROUNDED.
Groff: THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT EMILY THAT I JUST CONNECTED WITH.
YOU COULD JUST LOOK IN HER EYES AND TELL, LIKE, SHE REALLY MEAN WHAT SHE WAS SAYING.
WE'RE GONNA FIGURE OU WHAT'S HAPPENING HERE.
DO YOU KNOW ANY OTHER INFORMATION THAT WOULD HELP ME? UM, I KEPT GETTING THE NAME "ELIZABETH.
" -ELIZABETH? -ELIZABETH.
I WANT TO REALLY TRY TO CAPTURE SOMETHING TO HELP VALIDATE WHAT SHE SAW SO WE CAN SHOW HER SHE'S NOT GOING CRAZY.
BECAUSE IT'S NOT JUST EMILY.
THERE'S OTHER PEOPLE TALKING ABOUT THIS ENERGY THAT'S FOLLOWING THEM AROUND AND LATCHING ON TO THEM.
AND THAT'S BECAUSE SHEPHERDSTOWN IS A WEIRD TWILIGHT ZONE OF PARANORMAL EXPERIENCES.
-ALL RIGHT, BILL.
YOU READY? -YEAH.
LET'S DO IT.
ALL RIGHT.
LET'S GO DOWN INTO THE WATER WHERE EMILY ACTUALLY SAW THIS BODY.
I'M GONNA USE THIS INFRARED CAMERA AND SEE IF I CAN ACTUALLY SEE ANY HEAT SIGNATURES OR COLD SIGNATURES THROUGH THE WOODS.
Hartley: I'VE GOT THE FULL SPECTRUM RUNNIN' ON VIDEO.
-THAT'S THE TOWN RUN, RIGHT? -YEAH.
THIS IS ACTUALLY WHERE THE TOWN WATER WASHES OU INTO THE POTOMAC.
THIS ACTUALLY COMES FROM NEAR THE CLOCK TOWER, WHERE CARI HEARD THE GUNSHO IN OUR PREVIOUS CASE.
AND THEN OVER HERE, SOMEWHERE BACK THERE, IS WHERE EMILY SAW THAT BODY OVER THERE.
Groff: EMILY POINTED RIGHT THROUGH HERE.
THIS IS WHERE SHE SAW THE BODY.
IT'S JUST AN EERIE FEELING.
I'M TELLIN' YA, THAT FOG COMIN' OFF THAT WATER JUST ADDS TO IT.
Groff: ALL RIGHT.
KEEP YOUR EYES OUT.
IT WAS PROBABLY RIGHT IN THIS AREA.
I DON'T SEE ANYTHING THAT CAN BE RA-- MISTAKEN FOR A BODY.
-YOU SEEIN' ANYTHING DOWN THERE? -I'M LOOKIN' ON THE THERMAL.
I DON'T SEE ANYTHING.
I MEAN, WHAT DO YOU THINK SHE SAW? I DON'T KNOW.
I MEAN, THERE'S A LOT OF STUFF DOWN HERE.
AND YOU GOT LIMBS, AND YOU GOT ROCKS POKING OUT OF THE WATER.
BUT NOTHING REALLY LOOKS LIKE IT WOULD BE A BODY.
RIGHT.
WAIT.
WHAT IS THAT? I CAN SEE SOMETHING OUT THERE IN THE WATER.
BILL, YOU SEEIN' THAT? I CAN'T CATCH IT WITH MY I.
R.
IT'S TOO FAR OUT.
COME HERE.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS.
BUT WHATEVER IT IS, IT'S FLOATING CLOSER.
I CAN SEE I ON THE THERMAL.
DROP YOUR LIGHT.
HOLY [BLEEP.]
, IT LOOKS LIKE A BODY.
Groff: WAIT.
WHAT IS THAT? I CAN SEE IT ON THE THERMAL.
DROP YOUR LIGHT.
HOLY [BLEEP.]
, IT LOOKS LIKE A BODY.
I DON'T KNOW.
I CAN'T MAKE OU EXACTLY WHAT IT IS BECAUSE OF THE FOG COVERING IT.
HOW'S YOUR FULL SPECTRUM LOOKING? Hartley: TOO DARK TO REALLY SEE ANYTHING BEYOND WHERE I'M STANDING.
IT'S LITERALLY SHOWING UP COLD ON THIS.
CAN YOU SEE AN OUTLINE? LIKE, DOES IT LOOK LIKE A BODY? OH, WAIT.
ARE YOU KIDDING ME? I SAW IT WITH MY EYES, AND THEN I LOOKED IN THE THERMAL, AND IT WASN'T THERE.
BILL, DID YOU SEE THAT? NO.
I DIDN'T CATCH IT.
Groff: I DON'T SEE ANYTHING OUT HERE.
I GOT REALLY EXCITED BECAUSE I SAW SOMETHING FLOATING IN THE WATER WHERE EMILY SAID SHE SAW A BODY FLOATING.
AND SUDDENLY, IT JUST DISAPPEARED.
LIKE, MAYBE SOME DEBRIS OR SOMETHING THAT FELL IN THE WATER.
SOME SORT OF FLOTATION DEVICE MAYBE? COULD BE.
I BELIEVE THAT EMILY SAW THIS BODY.
BUT WE'RE IN COMPLETE DARKNESS RIGHT NOW, SO IT'S HARD TO SEE IF THERE'S ANYTHING EVEN FLOATING IN THE WATER.
I DON'T SEE ANYTHING ELSE.
NEXT STEP IS TO COME BACK TOMORROW AND ACTUALLY DO A FULL BASELINE SWEEP OF THE WHOLE AREA AND SEE IF WE CAN SEE ANYTHING DURING THE DAY.
ALL RIGHT.
LET'S GET OUT OF HERE.
BILL AND NICK ACTUALLY HAD A REALLY CRAZY NIGHT INVESTIGATION YESTERDAY.
THIS COUPLE APPARENTLY SAW WHAT THEY THOUGH WAS A WOMAN FLOATING DOWN THE RIVER.
BUT WHEN EVERYBODY GOT THERE, THERE WAS NO SIGN OF A WOMAN.
SO I'M TRYING TO FIGURE OUT IF, YOU KNOW, WAS IT A BODY, OR WAS IT ACTUALLY SOMETHING PARANORMAL? WELL, A LOT OF THINGS HAVE HAPPENED ON THAT RIVER OVER THE CENTURIES.
MANY DEVASTATING FLOODS ALONG THE POTOMAC, ESPECIALLY LIKE THE JOHNSTOWN FLOOD IN 1889.
I HAVE SOME PICTURES HERE.
WHEN YOU SAID IT WAS ABOUT THE RIVER, I BROUGHT WHA I HAD ON HAND.
THIS IS FROM THE JOHNSTOWN FLOOD.
YOU CAN SEE WHAT KIND OF DEVASTATION SOMETHING LIKE THAT WOULD DO -OH, MY GOSH.
-WHEN IT HITS.
THERE WERE BOATS THAT CAPSIZED OR PEOPLE THAT WERE WADING IN THE RIVER, AND CHILDREN HAD DROWNED THERE.
LIKE ANNE, THE LITTLE GHOST GIRL -- THE STUDEN OFF-CAMPUS HOUSING.
THERE WAS A TERRIBLE CHOLERA EPIDEMIC UP AND DOWN THE C&O CANAL.
SEEMS LIKE THERE'S A BROAD SPECTRUM OF POSSIBILITIES AS TO WHAT HAS HAPPENED.
IT'S WATER.
AND OVER THE CENTURY, IT'S TAKEN ITS TOLL.
SO YOU KNOW WHA I'M ACTUALLY GONNA DO? I'M GONNA HEAD DOWN THE POLICE DEPARTMEN AND SEE IF THERE'S ANY, YOU KNOW, FILES I CAN DIG UP, MAYBE SOMETHING THAT DEALS SPECIFICALLY WITH CASES IN THE POTOMAC RIVER.
YEAH.
I'D BE CURIOUS TO SEE WHAT YOU FIND OUT.
IT'S A LITTLE EASIER WALKING AROUND HERE DURING THE DAY, HUH? YEAH.
NO JOKE.
NO MORE FOG.
IT'S BRIGHT OUT.
EMILY SAW THIS BODY FLOATING DOWN THE WATER.
BUT I BELIEVE THAT THIS WOMAN NAMED ELIZABETH, SHE'S AN APPARITION.
LET ME KNOW IF YOU GET ANYTHING, BILL.
GOT IT.
SO WE CALLED LORIE TO SEE IF SHE COULD PICK UP ON ANYTHING.
AT THE SAME TIME, ELIZABETH -- OUR ELIZABETH -- IS AT THE POLICE STATION TO SEE IF THERE WERE ANY RECENT DEATHS OR MISSING PEOPLES REPORTS CONNECTED TO THE RIVER.
LET'S KEEP GOING.
WE DIDN'T MAKE I DOWN THIS FAR LAST NIGHT.
ELIZABETH, AS IF YOU DON' HAVE ENOUGH TO LOOK THROUGH, HERE'S ANOTHER BOX OF CASES FOR YOU.
YOU'RE SO SWEET.
I'M GONNA GO BACK AND SEE IF THERE'S ANY MORE.
Saint: I'M ACTUALLY GOING THROUGH THESE OLDER CASE FILES HERE TO SEE IF THERE'S ANYTHING THAT MIGHT GIVE US ANY LEADS 'CAUSE IT MIGHT BE A STRONG POSSIBILITY THAT WHAT EMILY SAW WASN'T REALLY A BODY AT ALL AND COULD'VE BEEN, LIKE, A RESIDUAL SPIRI FORM OF A WOMAN WHO DIED VIOLENTLY, AND SHE'S HAUNTING THE PLACE WHERE SHE DIED.
-WHERE'S LORIE? -GOD KNOWS.
I JUST TOLD HER TO MEET US HERE.
-LORIE? -HEY.
HOW ARE YOU? HEY, LORIE.
WE FOUND YOU.
YEAH.
I'VE BEEN HERE FOR A LITTLE WHILE.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING DOWN THERE? Johnson: THE ENERGY JUST DREW ME THROUGH HERE.
AND THEN I HEARD YELLING.
AND ALL I KEPT SEEING WAS A MALE, VERY ANGRY, VERY MEAN.
I SEE HIM HERE.
HE'S DOING SOMETHING IN THE WATER.
AND THEN HE'S DOWN THERE.
AND I HEAR A SPLASH.
HOLD ON.
I SEE A BODY IN THE WATER.
-WAIT.
WHAT? -A FEMALE.
I CAN SEE HER BODY.
IZZY.
IT'S IZZY, OR IT'S LIZZY.
EMILY SAID THE SAME NAME.
THAT'S THE NAME SHE SAID LAST NIGHT? YEAH.
ELIZABETH.
UM SHE HAS, UM, DARK HAIR.
UM, HER EYES ARE ALMOST LIKE CAT EYES.
THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT HER THROAT, SHE KEEPS TELLIN' ME.
AND THERE'S ANOTHER GIRL DOWN HERE, TOO.
-MORE THAN ONE FEMALE? -MORE THAN ONE.
CAN YOU DESCRIBE WHAT THE GUY LOOKS LIKE? HE HAS A SCAR ON HIS FACE.
OH.
HOLD ON.
HE -- HE JUST YELLED.
MM.
"YOU -- YOU LITTLE BITCH.
" -WHO SAID THAT? -HE DID.
I'M FEELING THAT HE COULD'VE KILLED THESE GIRLS.
OH.
HOLD ON.
HE -- HE JUST YELLED.
"YOU -- YOU LITTLE BITCH.
" Groff: WHO SAID THAT? HE DID, THE MAN WITH THE SCAR ON HIS FACE.
I'M FEELING THAT HE COULD'VE KILLED THESE GIRLS.
WOW.
LAST NIGHT, EMILY SAID SHE SAW A FEMALE FLOATING DOWN THE WATER WHO WENT BY THE NAME OF ELIZABETH.
NOW LORIE'S PICKING UP ON TWO FEMALE SPIRITS AND ALSO THE PRESENCE OF A NEGATIVE MALE ENTITY THAT POSSIBLY MURDERED BOTH FEMALES.
SO YOU BELIEVE EMILY SAW A REAL SPIRI OF A BODY FLOATING THROUGH THE WATER? ABSOLUTELY.
THESE GIRLS ARE WANTING ATTENTION.
THEY WANT EVERYBODY TO KNOW THAT THEY ARE HERE, AND THEY'RE NOT FORGOTTEN.
THESE GIRLS, I DON'T BELIEVE THAT THERE MURDERER WAS CAUGHT, AND THEY KNOW IT.
WE HAVE TO GE AHOLD OF ELIZABETH AND SEE IF SHE CAN DIG UP ANY INFORMATION ON THIS MURDER.
SOUNDS GOOD.
HEY, ELIZABETH? HEY.
WHAT'S UP? OKAY.
DID SHE DESCRIBE HIM AT ALL? LIKE SCARS? YEAH.
OKAY.
THAT'S A LITTLE CREEPY.
OKAY.
NOW THAT WE HAVE A FEW MORE CLUES, I'M HOPING THAT I CAN FIGURE SOMETHING OU AS TO WHO WE'RE DEALING WITH.
BUT THERE ARE A LOT OF CASE FILES HERE TO GO THROUGH.
SO, UM, HOPEFULLY, DANA CAN HELP ME OUT MORE WITH THIS.
HMM.
-HERE'S SOMETHING.
-YOU HAVE SOMETHING? MAYBE.
IT'S A MARY ELIZABETH FELLERS FROM BELTSVILLE AND A SHELBY JEAN VENABLE FROM NORTH LAUREL, MARYLAND.
BELTSVILLE, MARYLAND, IS MY HOMETOWN.
-REALLY? -I GREW UP THERE.
MM-HMM.
MARY ELIZABETH WAS 18.
AND SHELBY JEAN WAS 16.
THERE'S SOME NEWSPAPER ARTICLES HERE.
"NO NEW CLUES IN TWO DEATHS.
" THAT'S DATED JUNE 19th, 1956.
"DOGGED POLICE WORK CONTINUED TODAY BUT FAILED TO TURN UP ANY ANNOUNCED CLUES TO THE SLAYING OF TWO MARYLAND GIRLS WHOSE BODIES WERE FOUND IN THE POTOMAC RIVER WATERS LAST WEEK.
" THE STORY IS THAT, ON JUNE 1st, 1956, AROUND SIX O'CLOCK P.
M.
, MARY ELIZABETH FELLERS AND HER FRIEND, SHELBY VENABLE, TELL MARY ELIZABETH'S PARENTS THAT THEY'RE GOING TO THE MOVIES.
[ HORN HONKS .]
THEIR NUDE BODIES WERE FOUND 9 MILES APAR IN THE POTOMAC RIVER.
THE MEDICAL EXAMINER SAID THAT SHELBY JEAN WAS STRANGLED TO DEATH.
THE LIKELIHOOD IS THAT THE SAME HAPPENED TO MARY ELIZABETH.
REALLY? THAT'S SO STRANGE.
NOW, THIS IS LITERALLY WHAT LORIE DESCRIBED.
SHE MENTIONED SOMETHING GOING ON WITH ONE OF THE GIRLS' THROATS.
AND ALSO, THE GIRL POSSIBLY WITH THE NAME ELIZABETH.
AND THERE WAS POSSIBLY SOME SORT OF SCARRING OR SOMETHING ON THE MAN'S FACE.
-IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE? -LET'S SEE.
LOOK AT THAT.
"HUNT SCARRED MAN IN DEATH OF TEEN GIRLS.
" SAYS THE GIRLS WERE SEEN GETTING INTO A BLUE FORD CAR DRIVEN BY A SCAR-FACED MAN JUST BEFORE THEY DISAPPEARED JUNE 1st.
I -- I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT YOU FOUND THIS.
THAT JUST GIVES ME A SHIVER THAT SHE WAS FROM BELTSVILLE, MY HOMETOWN.
I CAN PICTURE THEIR LIFE ALMOST.
[ GRUNTING .]
IT MUST BE SO VERY PAINFUL TO BE TAKEN AWAY FROM HOME, FROM SOMEBODY SHE PROBABLY TRUSTED, AND LEFT HERE AND FORGOTTEN ABOUT.
THIS CASE FEELS QUITE CLOSE TO HOME.
I'D NEVER HEARD THE STORY BEFORE.
AND THAT'S SAD.
I THINK IT WAS ALL FORGOTTEN.
AND THEY SHOULDN'T BE FORGOTTEN.
IF THAT'S WHAT EMILY SAW, THE SPIRIT OF MARY ELIZABETH, THEN WE DEFINITELY HAVE TO FIND SOME WAY TO PUT THE SPIRIT AT REST.
WELL, I'M GOING TO STAR RESEARCHING INTO MORE NEWSPAPERS.
I WANT TO FIND MORE OU ABOUT THIS CASE.
Hartley: WE'RE HEADING DOWN TO THE POTOMAC TO DO THE NIGHT INVESTIGATION.
LORIE IS GOING TO BE JOINING US BECAUSE, WHEN WE WERE DOWN THERE DURING THE DAY, LORIE WAS PICKING UP ON SOME STUFF THAT'S INSPIRING US TO WANT TO COME BACK AND DO A MORE THOROUGH INVESTIGATION WITH OUR EQUIPMEN AND SEE IF WE CAN MAYBE PICK UP ON SOME OF THE STUFF THAT SHE WAS ACTUALLY READING.
-EMILY, JAKE, HOW YOU DOIN'? -GOOD.
HOW ARE YOU? GOOD TO SEE YOU? THIS IS ELIZABETH AND LORIE.
-HI.
-HI.
HOW ARE YOU? YOU GUYS, I'M A PSYCHIC MEDIUM.
I DON'T LIKE TO KNOW ANYTHING AHEAD OF TIME.
SO THAT WAY, I DON'T FEED OFF OF WHAT YOU SAID.
I WANT TO BE ABLE TO SEE IT WITH MY SENSE.
-ALL RIGHT.
-OKAY.
WHAT I'M GONNA GIVE YOU GUYS IS A RADIO AND A FLASHLIGHT.
REMEMBER, DON'T GO TOO FAR.
YOU KNOW, THIS IS THE WOODS.
IT'S VERY DARK.
I DON'T WANT TO SEE ANYBODY GET LOST OR HURT.
AND WE'LL KEEP UP RADIO CONTACT.
-OKAY.
-LET'S GO.
Groff: AND YOU HAVE THIS INFRARED CAMERA ON YOUR CELL PHONE.
Saint: YEAH.
SO YOU MOUNTED THE LENS ON TOP OF YOUR CAMERA? YEAH.
IT'S LIKE A CASE THAT GOES OVER TOP OF THE PHONE.
THAT LOOKS AWESOME.
IF YOU SEE ANY HEA SIGNATURE IN THE THERMAL, THEN YOU'RE GONNA KNOW IT'S SOME SORT OF ANIMAL OR SOMETHING LIVING.
ANYTHING WITH COLD SPOTS, ANY COLD MASSES, IT'S POSSIBLY SPIRITUAL ENERGY OR A GHOST OR WHATNOT.
RIGHT.
-YOU ALL RIGHT, BILL? -I'M GOOD.
ALL RIGHT.
WE'RE GOING DOWN THIS WAY.
WATCH YOUR -- WATCH YOUR FEET.
THERE'S, LIKE, HOLES AND STUFF.
Johnson: ELI-- ELIZABETH.
OH, I SEE HER NOW.
OH, WOW.
UM -WHAT'S THAT? -THE GIRL.
WHICH ONE? I BELIEVE THIS GIRL HERE WAS KILLED FIRST.
THE NAME STARTS WITH THE "S" -- "S.
" -SHELBY? -SHELBY.
YEAH.
SHE'S -- SHE'S WANTING TO KNOW, "ARE YOU GONNA HELP ME?" SHELBY, CAN YOU COME OUT TO MY VOICE AND COMMUNICATE WITH ME? CAN YOU WALK OVER TO US? SHELBY, ARE YOU HERE IN FRONT OF US? SHE'S PULLING A LO OF ENERGY FROM ME.
KEEP TALKING.
I'M NOT HERE TO HURT YOU.
I'M HERE TO HELP YOU.
OH, OOH.
HOLD ON.
I'M GETTING, "HE HURT ME.
HE -- HE CHOKED ME AND HIT MY HEAD.
" HURRY.
KEEP TALKING TO HER.
DON'T MAKE ME LOSE HER.
POINT ME IN THE DIRECTION OF WHO HURT YOU SO I CAN GO TALK TO THAT MAN.
SHE -- SHE'S SCARED.
SHE SAID, "FIND LIZZY FOR ME, PLEASE.
" OH, WOW.
G-- GUYS, WAIT.
SHE WANTS LIZZY.
I CAN'T FIND HER.
I JUST CAN'T FIND HER.
LIZZY.
SHE RAN IN THE WATER, GUYS.
HE RAN AFTER LIZZY.
SHE'S RUNNING.
-SHE IS.
SHE'S GOING.
-ALL RIGHT.
STAY THERE.
I'M GONNA TRY TO CAPTURE HER ON THE THERMAL.
I JUST HEARD THE SPLASH RIGHT HERE.
-ALL RIGHT.
-SHE'S RUNNING.
GO.
HURRY.
LIZZY.
SHE RAN IN THE WATER, GUYS.
HE RAN AFTER LIZZY.
SHE'S RUNNING.
-SHE IS.
SHE'S GOING.
-ALL RIGHT.
STAY THERE.
I'M GONNA TRY TO CAPTURE HER ON THE THERMAL.
I JUST HEARD THE SPLASH RIGHT HERE.
-ALL RIGHT.
-SHE'S RUNNING.
GO.
HURRY.
LIZZY? LIZZY, ARE YOU HERE? [ CREAKING, THUD .]
Saint: WHAT IS THAT? WHOA.
DID YOU HEAR THE LIGHTNING? WAS THAT LIGHTNING OR A TREE FALLING? LISTEN.
[ WIND WHISTLING .]
[ CREAKING, THUD .]
-THE HELL IS THAT? -THAT WASN'T LIGHTNING.
THAT SOUNDED LIKE SOMETHING FALLING.
Groff: THAT WAS A TREE COLLAPSING.
YEAH.
IT SOUNDED LIKE A TREE FALL OR SOMETHING.
THAT CAME -- THAT CAME FROM RIGHT UP HERE.
LET'S GO CHECK THAT OUT.
-JUST BE CAREFUL, PLEASE.
-YOU GUYS COMING? I'M GONNA HANG BACK HERE WITH LORIE.
LET'S GO.
NICK, YOU'RE GONNA FALL.
I CAN SEE IT.
ALMOST FELL.
I'M ALL RIGHT.
OH, [BLEEP.]
NICK, YOU ALL RIGHT? YOU OKAY? YEAH.
THE ENERGY OF THE MALE, HE'S PUSHING YOU.
LET'S KEEP MOVING.
Saint: ALL RIGHT.
THERE'S A CLEARING HERE.
ALL RIGHT.
THAT CRASH WAS REALLY LOUD.
IT HAD TO COME FROM BACK IN THIS WOODS SOMEWHERE.
I CAN'T SEE ANYTHING, THOUGH.
IT'S COMPLETELY DARK OUT HERE.
Johnson: LIZZY IS ACTUALLY SHOWING ME THE MALE.
SO HE'S FACING THIS WAY TO ME.
OH, HE IS PISSED.
HE'S CHOKING HER.
SHE STRUGGLED.
I'M WONDERING IF EMILY AND JAKE ARE PICKING UP ON ANYTHING.
EMILY, JAKE, WHERE ARE YOU GUYS? EMILY? JAKE? BILL, IS EMILY AND JAKE WITH YOU? EMILY, ARE YOU THERE? CAN YOU HEAR ME? WE HAVEN'T SEEN THEM SINCE WE GOT HERE? THEY'RE NOT RESPONDING.
ALL RIGHT.
WE GOT TO GO.
BILL, WE GOT TO GO FIND EMILY AND JAKE.
THEY'RE NOT RESPONDING TO MY CALL.
YEAH.
COPY THAT.
LET'S GO.
LET'S GO.
EMILY? EMILY? EMILY? JAKE? YOU GUYS AROUND? -YOU GUYS ALL RIGHT? -YEAH.
WE'RE GOOD.
-WE'RE LOOKIN' FOR THEM.
-OH, MY GOD.
Hartley: THINK I JUST SAW A FLASHLIGH OVER IN THE WOODS OVER THERE.
-SEE RIGHT THERE? LOOK.
-WAY UP ON THE HILL.
Saint: THERE'S SOMEONE BACK THERE.
Groff: EMILY? JAKE? EMILY? JAKE? -YEAH? -OH.
GEEZ, I COULDN'T -- YOU GUYS DIDN'T HEAR US ON THE WALKIE? -NO.
-NO.
Groff: OH.
I GOT WORRIED SOMETHIN' HAPPENED TO YOU GUYS.
-ARE YOU OKAY? -YEAH.
WHAT HAPPENED? WE HEARD SOMETHING UP HERE, SO WE CAME UP HERE.
AND WE WERE JUST KIND OF LOOKING AROUND, TRYING TO FIGURE OU WHAT WE HEARD, AND, UM IT'S LIKE SHE WAS PULLED UP HERE.
SO YOU FELT DRAWN TO THIS AREA? SHE JUST STARTED WALKING THIS WAY.
AND I JUST FOLLOWED HER UP HERE.
CAME AROUND AND THERE SHE WAS.
Groff: YOU'RE TALKIN' ABOUT THE SPIRIT? YEAH, ELIZABETH.
SHE HAD BRUISES ON HER NECK.
SHE LOOKED LIKE SHE WAS VERY UPSET.
SHE WAS MUMBLING SOMETHING.
WITCH.
SOMETHING LIKE "WITCH.
" WITCH.
AND SHE WENT AROUND THE CORNER AND WAS GONE.
WHERE -- WHERE WAS -- SHE WAS RIGHT UP HERE BY THIS ROCK.
BILL, DO YOU WANT TO CLIMB UP THERE AND SEE IF YOU GET ANYTHING? Hartley: I'M NOT SEEING ANYTHING.
WAIT.
THAT'S INCREDIBLE.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN? WHAT ARE YOU TALKIN' ABOUT? YOU GUYS MAY WANT TO COME HERE AND CHECK THIS OUT.
-SERIOUSLY? -DO YOU SEE THAT? HOLY Groff: BILL, DO YOU WANT TO CLIMB UP THERE AND SEE IF YOU GET ANYTHING? Hartley: I'M NOT SEEING ANYTHING.
WAIT.
THAT'S INCREDIBLE.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN? WHAT ARE YOU TALKIN' ABOUT? YOU GUYS MAY WANT TO COME HERE AND CHECK THIS OUT.
DO YOU SEE THAT? HOLY [BLEEP.]
.
CAN YOU GUYS SEE THIS? THERE'S AN UPSIDE-DOWN CROSS ON THE ROCK HERE.
SERIOUSLY? HERE, LET ME SEE.
COME HERE.
CHECK THIS OUT.
Johnson: THAT IS NOT COOL TO ME.
YEAH.
THIS IS A NEGATIVE AREA.
WE'VE GOT EVIL WITCHERY HERE.
Emily: I KNOW THAT WE HAVE WICCANS IN THE AREA.
BUT I'VE NEVER BEEN AWARE OF ANYTHING WITH UPSIDE-DOWN CROSSES.
WHY WOULD SOMEBODY PUT THIS RIGHT HERE, ESPECIALLY AN UPSIDE-DOWN CROSS? THEY DOING SATANIC STUFF UP HERE, RITUALS? WITCHCRAFT.
NORMALLY, THE SIGNIFICANCE WITH UPSIDE-DOWN CROSS MEANS THERE IS SOME SORT OF SATANIC WORSHIP OR SOMETHING TO DO WITH A WITCH.
-WHAT? -I DON'T KNOW.
Groff: WHAT'S THE MATTER? Saint: NO, I JUST FELT LIKE I SAW SOMEONE OVER HERE.
-WHERE? -RIGHT HERE.
IT WAS LIKE SOMEONE JUST STEPPED TO ME BUT HAD A MALE ENERGY.
-I FEEL NAUSEOUS.
-YOU -- YOU FEEL NAUSEOUS? I FEEL LIKE I WANT TO THROW UP.
WEIRD.
I DIDN'T FEEL THAT WAY UNTIL I GOT UP HERE.
REALLY? 'CAUSE WHEN I WAS STANDIN' UP HERE NEAR THIS CROSS ON THE ROCK, I FELT LIKE I WAS IN THIS WHIRLWIND.
MY BODY FELT LIKE I WAS GONNA FALL OVER.
THERE'S SOMETHING WEIRD ABOUT THESE WOODS.
EVERY TIME YOU, LIKE, FLASH YOUR LIGHT, I SEE FACES.
-UP THIS WAY? -YEAH.
LIKE, HE'LL FLASH HIS LIGHT, AND I'D SEE A FACE.
HE'LL FLASH IT AGAIN, I'LL SEE ANOTHER FACE.
Johnson: YEP.
Emily: WHATEVER IT IS, IT'S NOT NICE.
Groff: I WANT TO GO AFTER WHATEVER THIS NEGATIVE IS.
YEAH.
HOLD THIS AND JUST AIM IT UP IN THAT DIRECTION.
TELL ME IF YOU SEE ANYTHING.
Johnson: JUST BE CAREFUL, PLEASE.
WHO'S UP HERE? IF YOU'RE HERE, CAN YOU SHOW YOURSELF SO WE CAN SEE YOU? IF THERE'S A NEGATIVE PRESENCE HERE, WE NEED YOU TO SHOW YOURSELF.
YOU -- YOU'RE BEIN' SURROUNDED RIGHT NOW.
FEELS COLD.
YEAH.
HE PISSED HIM OFF.
-HOLY [BLEEP.]
.
-WHAT IS GOING ON? I FEEL LIKE JUST NEGATIVE JUST SURROUNDED MY BODY.
AND I FEEL YEAH.
YOU'RE BEING SURROUNDED.
OH, MY GOD.
IT JUST HIT ME.
Saint: DID YOU HEAR THAT? WHO IS THAT? I JUST HEARD SOMEBODY SAY, "YOU BETTER GO.
" Hartley: BE CAREFUL.
THERE'S, LIKE, THIS DARK MALE VOICE THAT SAID, "GET OUT.
" -THERE'S SOMETHING UP HERE.
-I KNOW.
WE HEAR THAT.
THERE'S SOMETHING RED GLOWING IN THE DARK.
Johnson: YEAH.
DON'T GO TOO FAR 'CAUSE I SAW IT DOWN THERE.
NO.
THERE'S SOMETHIN' UP HERE.
-NICK! -NICK! OH, YEAH.
WE'VE GOT EYES EVERYWHERE.
-OHH.
-WHAT IS IT? Jake: TELL ME WHAT IT IS.
Saint: NICK, THERE'S SOMETHING BEHIND YOU.
-OH, IT'S A FEMALE, YEP! -THERE! RIGHT THERE! YEAH! RIGHT BEHIND YOU! THERE'S SOMEBODY, LIKE, CROUCHING BEHIND YOU.
-IT'S A FEMALE.
-THERE'S TWO OF THEM.
-THERE'S TWO.
-WHERE? I DON'T SEE IT.
THERE'S TWO INHUMAN-LOOKING THINGS LOOKING BEHIND YOU.
WHERE? WHERE'D HE GO? -DISAPPEARED.
-YEAH.
I DON'T SEE WHA YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.
CAN YOU STILL SEE IT? NOT RIGHT NOW.
I'M TELLING YOU, ONE THING CAME UP BEHIND YOU.
AND THEN ON THE OTHER SIDE, A SECOND ONE EMERGED.
LIKE, THEY WERE COMING FROM THE GROUND.
SHOULD I COME BACK DOWN? YEAH.
I THINK SO.
-BILL, ARE YOU -- -OH, [BLEEP.]
! Saint: THERE'S SOMEONE BEHIND BILL.
THERE'S -- OH, SOMEONE'S TOUCHING YOUR BACK.
-YEP.
IT'S A FEMALE.
-SHE'S RIGHT THERE.
UM, SHE'S GOT FINGERNAILS, LONG FINGERNAILS.
BILL, ARE YOU OKAY? NO.
I LITERALLY AM NAUSEOUS, AND I'M DIZZY.
CAN YOU PLEASE LET GO OF HIM.
Saint: SHE'S, LIKE, HIDING BEHIND YOUR BACK, CROUCHED OVER LIKE THIS.
-RIGHT BEHIND ME? -BEHIND YOU.
YOU MAY NO ATTACH YOURSELF TO BILL.
BILL, YOU NEED TO TELL THEM TO RELEASE YOU.
RIGHT NOW, I'M HAVING AN ANXIETY RUSH.
-ALL RIGHT.
LET ME GET UP THERE.
-I FEEL LIKE I NEED TO LAY DOWN.
Johnson: HE'S COLD TO ME.
WHY ARE YOU COLD? I DON'T KNOW.
I FEEL HOT.
NO.
YOUR BODY'S COLD TO ME.
-OH, MY GOD.
-HE'S GOT AN ATTACHMENT.
HIS -- HIS ARM IS FREEZING.
HIS -- HIS WHOLE BODY'S FREE-- I CAN FEEL HE'S COLD RIGHT HERE.
HE'S FROZEN.
HE NEEDS TO BE RELEASED.
WE NEED TO GET HIM OUT NOW.
Groff: FOR MORE "GHOSTS OF SHEPHERDSTOWN," VISIT destinationamerica.
com.
Johnson: YOUR BODY'S COLD TO ME.
-OH, MY GOD.
-HE'S GOT AN ATTACHMENT.
THIS IS WEIRD.
HIS ARM IS FREEZING.
HIS -- HIS WHOLE BODY'S FREE-- I CAN FEEL HE'S COLD RIGHT HERE.
HE'S FROZEN.
HE NEEDS TO BE RELEASED.
WE NEED TO GET HIM OUT NOW.
-NICK.
-NICK.
Hartley: I'M ALSO DIZZY AS HELL.
WATCH THESE ROCKS.
Groff: YOU OKAY? YOU FEELIN' BETTER NOW, NOW THAT YOU'RE DOWN HERE? I STILL FEEL KIND OF WEAK.
IT'S STILL ATTACHED TO YOU.
I CAN STILL SEE IT.
FINGERNAILS, LONG FINGERNAILS.
-OH, WOW.
-I SEE IT RIGHT HERE.
THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT IT LOOKED LIKE, LIKE SOMEONE WAS CROUCHED OVER LIKE THIS BEHIND YOU, YEAH.
NEGATIVES DO NOT LIKE SAGE.
I WANT TO DO SAGE AROUND BILL AND EVERYONE, INCLUDING THE CAMERA PEOPLE.
DO YOU MIND, BILL? -GO FOR IT.
-OKAY.
IT'S DONE.
HE'S CLEAR.
Groff: LET'S TRY TO COLLEC THE DOTS NOW.
IT STARTS OFF AS A SIMPLE INVESTIGATION.
WE COME OUT HERE 'CAUSE WE WANT TO SEARCH OU WHAT EMILY EXPERIENCED AND WHAT SHE SAW.
BUT WE'RE DRAWN UP TO THIS WEIRD AREA UP IN THE WOODS THAT I WAS NOT EXPECTING.
IT'S ALMOST LIKE THIS NEGATIVE FORCE WAS DRAWING US AWAY FROM THESE GIRLS WHO WERE MURDERED DOWN HERE.
I HAVEN'T SEEN BILL SHAKEN UP LIKE THIS.
I MEAN, HE'S A HARD ONE TO FREAKIN' TOPPLE DOWN LIKE -- LIKE HE IS RIGHT NOW.
AND WHAT YOU TWO ARE EXPERIENCING THERE'S SOMETHING ELSE UP THERE.
-YEAH.
THERE'S -- -WELL, THAT'S -- THERE'S THAT, BUT THEN THERE'S SOMETHING, LIKE, REALLY NEGATIVE.
I THINK, ONCE WE CROSSED THE THRESHOLD OVER THERE WHERE THESE RITUALS POSSIBLY HAVE TAKEN PLACE, IT OPENED UP SOMETHING NEGATIVE, MORE INHUMANE.
Johnson: ABSOLUTELY.
DO YOU THINK THIS FORCE UP IN THE WOODS THAT WE ALL EXPERIENCED TONIGH WAS SCARING THE SPIRITS OF LIZZY AND SHELBY? ABSOLUTELY.
I BELIEVE THAT WE NEED TO PUT THE GIRLS TO REST.
-ALL RIGHT.
-SO I BELIEVE THAT WE -- I NEED TO GO DOWN TO THE WATER AND RELEASE THEM TO THE LIGHT.
WELL, LET'S TRY TO HELP THEM MOVE ON.
OKAY.
Johnson: EVEN THOUGH IT'S THIS TIME OF NIGHT, I CALLED DANA, UM, 'CAUSE I KNEW THAT SHE HAS BEEN WORKING ON THE CASE AND WAS VERY ATTACHED TO THESE GIRLS.
I COLLECTED STICKS TO MAKE CROSSES FOR THESE TWO GIRLS.
AND THEN WE'LL BURN SOME CANDLES.
Saint: OKAY.
-IS THAT GOOD? -THAT'S PERFECT.
THESE CANDLES ARE TO PROTECT YOU AND TO SEND YOU OFF.
I'M GOING TO BLESS IN THE NAME OF SHELBY AND LIZZY.
-HEY.
HEY! -HEY, DANA.
HOW ARE YOU DOING? WELL, HELLO, MS.
DANA.
WELL, HELLO.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR COMING DOWN.
WELL, I BROUGHT SOME PINK ROSES FROM MY GARDEN.
OH, I LOVE THIS IDEA.
HAVE A COUPLE OF BRACELETS.
OH, WOW.
THEY'RE BEAUTIFUL.
I'M GONNA TAKE THE CROSSES.
WE CAN PUT 'EM TOGETHER TO LET THESE GIRLS KNOW THEY'RE NOT EVER GONNA SEPARATE AGAIN.
WE STAND HERE TO RELEASE SHELBY AND MARY ELIZABETH.
AND WE'RE GONNA RELEASE THE BOTH OF YOU TOGETHER FROM THE EVIL MAN THAT MURDERED THEM.
I WOULD LOVE FOR YOU TO THROW FIRST.
BEAUTIFUL.
GO TO THE LIGHT.
YOU'RE RELEASED.
GOOD NIGHT, GIRLS.
Groff: THAT NIGHT INVESTIGATION WAS ABSOLUTELY CRAZY.
HOW YOU BEEN FEELING? UM, I FEEL -- FEEL BETTER SINCE WE DID IT.
-DEFINITELY A LOT BETTER.
-THIS INVESTIGATION, IT HITS VERY CLOSE TO MY HEAR BECAUSE MARY ELIZABETH WAS FROM MY HOMETOWN.
SO I REALLY WANTED TO SEE JUSTICE FOR THEM.
I FOUND THIS ONE ARTICLE FROM JUNE 16th, 1956.
AND IT TALKS ABOUT, "POLICE ARE TO QUESTION A SCAR-FACED MAN WHOSE DESCRIPTION COULD FI THE CHIEF SUSPEC IN THE MURDERS OF THE GIRLS.
" NOW, DID THEY EVER CATCH THE GUY, THOUGH? YOU KNOW, THAT'S THE THING.
THEY NEVER MADE AN ARREST.
THEY NEVER EVEN HAD A REAL VALID SUSPECT.
THEY WERE BURIED NEAR THE END OF JUNE, AND THAT'S IT.
THERE'S NOTHING ELSE MORE ABOUT THEM.
IT'S AMAZING THAT YOU WERE ABLE TO DIG UP ALL THIS RESEARCH AND ALL THIS INFORMATION.
I HAVE ACTUALLY A PHOTOGRAPH.
-YOU HAVE A PICTURE OF HER? -I HAVE -- YES.
OH, WOW.
THIS IS ELIZABETH RIGHT HERE.
YEAH.
THAT'S ELIZABETH.
YEAH.
HAVE YOU SEEN THIS PICTURE YET? WHAT DO YOU THINK? THAT'S HER.
DO YOU FEEL CONNECTED TO HER? I CAN TELL YOU GET CHOKED UP.
I GUESS I -- I'M SAD THAT THIS HAD TO HAPPEN, BUT I'M KIND OF RELIEVED AT THE SAME TIME BECAUSE [ Voice breaking .]
IT DOES VALIDATE ME AND WHAT I EXPERIENCE.
I'M GLAD THAT WE WERE ABLE TO ACTUALLY FIND SOMETHING, BECAUSE I'M NOT JUST HAVING THESE PSYCHOTIC EPISODES OR SOMETHING.
THIS WAS A REAL, LIVING PERSON.
-MM-HMM.
-WELL, YOU DID A GOOD JOB.
YOU BROUGH CLOSURE TO HER.
MM-HMM.
I MEAN, THAT'S A REALLY BIG DEAL.
IN A WAY, I DO KIND OF FEEL LIKE SHE'S KNOWN.
PEOPLE KNOW WHAT HAPPENED.
SO THEY WON' FORGET HER NOW.
WE WERE ABLE TO DO JUSTICE ON ELIZABETH AND SHELBY.
-MM-HMM.
-BUT WHAT I DON'T UNDERSTAND STILL IS HOW THE INVESTIGATION WENT IN A DIFFERENT PATH TO KIND OF THIS DARKER FORCE, THIS DARKER PRESENCE THAT WAS THERE.
WHEN I HAD SEEN LIZZY, SHE WAS KIND OF WALKING AWAY FROM ME.
AND THAT'S WHEN SHE MUMBLED SOMETHING ABOUT A WITCH.
I WASN'T SURE WHAT THAT HAD TO DO WITH WHAT WAS GOING ON.
I'M JUST -- I'M TAKING A SHOT IN THE DARK HERE, BUT WHAT IF THESE UPSIDE-DOWN CROSSES UP DEEP INTO THE FOREST HAVE SOMETHING THAT HAS TO DO WITH THIS WITCH? I FEEL LIKE WE DID JUSTICE.
BUT I REALLY THINK THERE'S SOMETHING DARKER HAPPENING HERE WITH SHEPHERDSTOWN.
YOU KNOW, THIS NEGATIVE FORCE IN THIS WILDERNESS.
I DON'T KNOW.
WHAT IS THIS WITCH? WHO IS SHE? IS IT A LEGEND? OR IS SHE A REAL PERSON THAT IS NOW HAUNTING ALL OF SHEPHERDSTOWN?
