All right.
We are in Monongahela Valley,
Western Pennsylvania.
They call it Demon House,
Emerald Hill House.
- Emerald Hill House.
- It's this really old mansion.
There's been, like, five
suicides there or something?
Yeah, allegedly.
So I think this is some of the
stuff that we have to dig into,
but regardless
of what the history is,
people are still
having activity there.
Mm. All right.
Let's hit it.
♪♪
Are you excited, Jack?
I'm very excited, actually. Yeah?
I'm also nervous because I hear
this place is steeped
in a lot of scary business.Mm-hmm.
The reports are everything
from apparitions to scratchings.
The thing that I find worrisome,
though, is rumors of witchcraft.
Yeah, local lore says
that there was a woman
that lived in this house
or on that property,
and she was apparently a witch.
She was accused,
though nobody really knows
what happened to her,
but she placed a curse
upon this house.
We are the very first people
ever to do
an investigation here.
So I think anything we find
is going to be
significant to this place.Totally.
This is actually what's more
worrisome for me,
is that they've turned the house
into an attraction.
Yes. It's a haunted house for,
you know, Halloween time.
You go there, and it's spooky,
and it's fun,
but I wonder
if that's opening up portals
that wouldn't otherwise
be opened.
Yeah. Most people that have
lived in this property
have been struck with pretty
significant family tragedy,
from suicides to people
getting sick, dying randomly.
A lot of what, I think,
we're learning about this place
is there's a huge
amount of rumor.
The rumor mill is in full effect.
Yeah.
So we're going to go meet
Chris and Veronica Pirt,
and they're the current owners
of the property,
and hopefully they can give us
a good lay of the land.Okay.
♪♪
Oh.Oh, the one with the tombstones.
♪♪
- We're here.
- Wow.
♪♪
- This is ominous.
- Super ominous.
KATRINA: Because of all the different
types of paranormal activity
that has plagued this house
for decades,
a lot of locals
never want to come up here,
and it discouraged
a lot of people
from making this a residence.
Haunted houses are, I mean,
personally, I love going to them
because I think
they're a lot of fun,
but for a lot of people,
they're the closest to fear
that they ever want to be,
and the fact that we're actually
investigating a place
where so many people
have put haunted energy
into the walls of this place
is pretty interesting.
I mean, this is the stuff
that horror movies are made of.
- Hello.
- Hello.
- Hi.
- How's it going?
- I'm Jack.
- Hi, Jack. I'm Veronica.
- Chris.
- Nice to meet you guys.
KATRINA: So this is the house? Yes.
Yeah. How long have you guys owned it?
- This is our fourth year.
- Mm-hmm.
But you worked
on the property before?
Yes, I've been here
for 16 years.
Okay, so I'm sure in 16 years,
you've had your fair share
of weirdness?
Well, actually,
not until I owned it.
The first 12 years,
nothing at all.
And what about the owner
at that time,
were they experiencing things? Yes, yes.
He couldn't even spend
the night in the house.
Has anything ever happened
out here?
Yes, right where we're standing,
a black figure wearing a top hat
has reported to have been
seen many times.
He's apparently walked
through walls.
He's been seen in this room,
as well as down there.
This is the original door here.
JACK: Oh, wow.
It's a very, very heavy door,
and it's come open
on its own quite a few times.
We usually keep everything
all locked up,
even when we're here
working alone,
and this door blew wide open.
So even when you've locked it?
Yeah, even while it was locked.
All right.
Well, let's get stuck in.
All right.
Come on in.
♪♪
Check that door out.
I mean, that takes some pulling.
♪♪
[ Creaking ]
So this is most recently where
the top hat figure
had been seen.
- Okay.
We had an actress in this room,
and she said,
"I just saw a man
stick his head in right
over there in that corner,"
just
KATRINA: Kind of where
our camera operator is?
Yep, just right where he is.
Do we have any idea
who he might be?
- No, no idea.
- Mm-kay.
- Where do we go from here?
- Come on this way.
♪♪
JACK:
Anything seen in here?
Actually, yes.
I was in another room working.
All the cabinet doors
in here blew open at once.
- Really?
- Yes.
So you heard it?
Oh, yeah, you could hear it.
It was a heck of a noise.
- It really was.
- JACK: Wow.
KATRINA: And had the previous
owner ever talked to you
about something like that
happening here to him before?
No, nothing like that.
He always talked about
experience --
hearing his voice being called
and sleep paralysis.
I find it very interesting
that Chris and Veronica
didn't really start
experiencing anything too crazy
until they took
full ownership of the house.
It seems like the house
was like,
"Oh, cool, you're the new boss?
Check it out,
we live here, too."
KATRINA: What happens in here
when this is a haunted house?
Every year, somebody sees
the little girl
that we presume is upstairs.Mm-hmm.
Every single year,
they come out, and they say,
"That girl you have up
there is fantastic,"
and they describe her
exactly the same.
Seven years old, Victorian
clothing, dark, like,
shoulder-length hair and bangs,
every time they describe her.
And she's in the same room
every single time?
She's been seen
all over upstairs.
- Interesting.
- Very interesting.
Okay. All right. Well, where
we do we go from here?
This way.
♪♪
I guess somebody is chained
to here, right?
Yeah. Yeah? And then what happens
in this room?
This is our asylum-type area.
This is also the room I seen
a ball roll across the floor.
Kept thinking I was hearing
someone call my name,
and then I'd hear footsteps.
I'd call out, and nobody
was here,
and then a call
just rolls right past me.
That terrified me.
I left.
I went all the way to the bottom
of the driveway
and called my wife. Really?
Yeah, like, I was --
I told her I was not
coming back in here alone.
♪♪
JACK: So what is it people
are experiencing upstairs?
Well, upstairs is where people
have had seen the little girl.
Mm-hmm.
They've seen the black
masses upstairs, too.
So we're on the second floor,
and this is where
a lot of the things
that we've been told
about the place have took place.
One story that we hear
frequently is that a mother
drowned her special needs child
in a bathtub in another room,
and then shot her and her
other daughter in the room
we're standing in.
That is horrific.
♪♪
JACK: Here's the nursery.
And for the haunted house,
what happens in here?
Here, on the upper floor, too,
this is where I felt like
I was touched.
It felt like I was just being
repeatedly tapped,
on a corner when I was working
in the room next door.
♪♪
So this would have been
the master bedroom.
So what's happened in here?
This was the room
that an actress did
get scratched in before.
The girl who was scratched up
here was scratched
on her shoulder.
♪♪
JACK: That's freaky.
This place is creepy.
I didn't like the upstairs.
It felt really just oppressive,
but it seems like the majority
of the activity occurs upstairs,
and that's where
the murder-suicides
have taken place
and where the little girl
is most often seen.
All right.
So what's happened out here?
Out here, the grave is out
behind our fountain up there.
Oh.When we'd done the tour
inside the house,
they kind of dropped the bomb
on us with the,
"Oh, and by the way,
there's a grave out back."
They told us, "Well, for sure
one person's buried here,
but there's been rumors of more.
They just weren't marked."
Because obviously there's
a lot of rumors online --
deaths, witches,
curses, you know.
Have you guys tried to kind of
sift through them yourselves?
I feel like that I want to know
what is going on.
Okay, is there something
here and what --
Why are they still here?
♪♪
Chris and Veronica really want
some clarity on who's here
and why they're here.
♪♪
KATRINA: So we're going to do
a headstone rubbing.
Basically you put a piece
of paper on top,
get, like, a crayon,
and color over it to see
if you can get the words.
JACK:
There's McCormick.
Oh, wait, there's more up here.Oh.
So we're going to do
a headstone rubbing.
There's McCormick.
♪♪
Oh, wait, there's more up here.
Oh.
Yeah, there's definitely
letters, but then it's so faint.
Is that a Tabitha?
Elizabeth?
Does that look like
Elizabeth to you?
Yeah, that makes sense,
Elizabeth,
wife of Jno. McCormick.
Died June 1st, 1863.
♪♪
KATRINA: One of the reasons
this is really important
that we found this is because
there's so little confirmed
history about this space,
and the people
who came through these walls.
So Elizabeth McCormick,
June 4th.
Finding anything,
even if it's just the name,
like Elizabeth, helps us
not only historically,
but it could also be very
meaningful to our investigation
because we can actually
call out to those people,
to see if we get a response,
and those names
might come through. Game on.
JACK: So Katrina is going to
interview one of the actresses
that works here
during the hauntings.
Okay, this is Katrina's
interview with Jocelyn,
who's an actress here
at the Demon House.
Why don't you take me through
the experiences
you've had with the paranormal?
I was literally next
to the crib here.
Nothing is around me,
and I literally, like,
in my pigtail, I felt this.
- Oh.
- And I was, like, "Okay,"
you know, like,
something isn't right.
What was that?
You know?
I wanted to jump out of my skin
and run out of the room, but
- Yeah.
- I had -- A group was coming.
I had to keep my composure,
while shaking, did my act,
kind of just said
out loud to myself,
"Whatever that was,
don't do that again.
I don't like that." You know? Mm-hmm.
And so what was the next
thing that happened to you?
Once the group leaves,
I'm sitting her by myself.
I hear in, like, a little girl's
voice, like,
"Where are you?" Where did it come from?
Um, I was actually sitting
in this corner over here,
and it sounded
like it was down, like,
in the hallway or something.
Did you think there's anything
else in this house besides her?
I do believe there is
something else here.
It's definitely
a stronger presence.
I don't know whether or not
it's, like, a male presence
or a female presence, but it's
definitely a stronger presence,
and it does make you
uncomfortable.
I think this really helps us
narrow in.
Jocelyn says there's a more
aggressive spirit here,
and that's the one you need
to look out for.
♪♪
♪♪
JACK: We just spent a good part
of last night
and this morning
compiling a ton of research.
We went deep web.
We got a lot of information
about that property.
So there's a lot of rumors about
this place obviously, right? Mm-hmm.
And it's kind of interesting
because the one that I totally,
right off the bat, I'm like,
"Ugh, totally a rumor,"
actually has some merit to it.
- Which one's that?
- The witch.
Okay.
You know, going through
the deeds and everything,
there was a family
named the Colvins.Mm-hmm.
There was a Josephine
and a Moses.
- They were married.
- Mm-hmm.
Josephine and Moses are buried
in a local cemetery here.
What's really weird is that
they have this headstone
with their surname,
with a witch's broom on it.
Guess who owned the house.
- The Colvins.
- The Colvins.
That would certainly explain
the spirits
that they're experiencing.
I think probably an element
of something going on there
is the fact that
it's a haunted house,
and you're doing things,
like putting fear
in that environment,
and if you think about it,
all those emotions running
through that property
as long as it has been,
maybe it drummed up
some sort of energy
that is now manifesting
in certain aspects
of the paranormal,
like the doors opening
and closing,
like the cabinets blowing open.
Then you have this other element
of the intelligent stuff
coming through, right,
like the top hat guy
and the little girl.
I would think maybe that has
to do with the property.
Because there's a lot of
different types of activity
that people are
experiencing here,
this goes way beyond
what you would see
in a typical haunted house.
You have a woman who was
accused of being a witch,
and if that's true,
a lot of people believed
that she cursed this property.
So I reached out to Cindy Kaza,
who's a friend of mine,
a psychic medium.
I figured, like, why not see if
she can get some names for us?
- Yeah.
- Who's the little girl?
Who's the top hat shadow figure?
It's going to be interesting
to see what we come up with.
♪♪
Hey. Hi, Cindy.
- Hey, guys.
- You ready to do this?
- I think so.
- Okay.
It's --Do you know where you are?
I have no idea where I am.
Nobody told me anything.
I'm in Pennsylvania.
That's all I know.
Since getting here,
have you been picking up
on anything, have
Yeah, so I kept seeing,
like, pagan?
It feels very pagan to me,
sacrifices, witchcraft, pagan.
Mm-hmm. That's what I'm feeling.
BOTH: Okay. So something along those lines.
Okay, great.Cool.
All right.
Well, let's get started.
Lead the way.
I was just blown away that Cindy
was picking up stuff
even before she even set foot
in the house,
like, when she pulled up
in the driveway.
She's like, "Yeah, there's
witchcraft here."
♪♪
♪♪
Um
there was a suicide
somewhere in here.
♪♪
I feel like whatever sacrifices
were happening here,
which feels like witchcraft Mm-hmm.
would have definitely
created some sort of a force
or energy here
that would have been dark.
Like, a dark energy
that people can pick up on?
A dark energy that people
can pick up on.
And that would cause a suicide?
It could. It could cause people
to go crazy.

to communicate
with whoever's
on the other side.
She does automatic writing.
She's got some of those
mystic tool up her sleeve.
♪♪
Okay, this says, "I used
to play here with my sister."
So there was a boy and a girl,
two children that used to play
around this area, and it's says,
"We would be here with my mom.
When she died,
she stayed in the yard."
So the mom is buried
in the yard.
- That's what it feels like.
- Okay.
There's a mother that died
in this house,
I feel around this part
of the house.
But that's the woman that
I feel hangs out in this place.
♪♪
There's a woman here, too.
There's, like, a
KATRINA: Are you picking up
on her right now?
- Yeah.
- Who is she?
I just see her walking back
and forth right here.
So I feel like she walked
in this area.
I know that she lived here,
and I feel like she's --
She didn't have
a happy life here.
I feel her being depressed,
maybe suicidal.
JACK: What surprised me
the most was that
Cindy knew about the graves.
She knew about the witchcraft,
and it's also really
interesting because she said,
"It's kind of confusing
walking through this place
because of the haunted house
attraction.
That energy can kind of
charge this place."
♪♪
Do people hear babies crying
or hear children
running around here?
Not the crying,
but the running, yes.
The running of the children,
but I know that there are
a lot of footsteps
or a lot of running,
so there's more than one child.
Okay.
♪♪
Okay, so there's another person
that walks around this place,
who's a man that lived here,
who I feel like he died
in this house, as well.
So has anybody ever said
they see a man walking around?
- Yes.
- Yes.
That's who I'm picking up on.
He's apparently walked
through walls.
You want to go to the attic?
I feel like I need
to go up one more.Okay.
♪♪
This feels so messed up up here.
I don't like this up here
at all.

It feels like witchcraft.
It feels like black magic

It feels like a spell has been

Okay, I hear the name Elizabeth.
♪♪
This is talking to you
because we're talking, right?
- Oh, to me?
- Yeah, she's --
"I want her to know
that I come to this house now
because my family is here.
I want people
to stop coming here
looking for the people
haunting it.
This is my place."
So basically, ghost hunting is,
like, not the thing to do.
She doesn't like it.
She doesn't like it
because this is her home,
or her place,
and I don't feel like
it was ever meant
to be a haunted house.
There was already activity here,
and I see the history of it,
but it, like, reactivated
Starting the haunted house?
Started -- Feeding off of
people's fears, yeah, exactly.
- Okay.
- Exactly, and Elizabeth,
who's buried in the backyard,
doesn't like that
because that's not what
this place was ever meant to be.
♪♪
JACK: Cindy is absolutely
the real deal.
She was in the zone, man.
She was picking up stuff
that was spot on.
We are going to start
the night investigation.
All right.
Let's go set this guy up.
Katrina, how is the
asylum camera looking?
That's actually perfect.
Everything's up and running.
- It's looks really good.
- All right. Cool.
KATRINA: How many cameras
do we actually have?
Oh, man, let's see.
We've covered everywhere
of significance with this place.
- Mm-hmm.
- Camera one
on our IR
is the back of the house.
Camera two is the front
of the house.
Three is the kitchen,
where that poltergeist activity
has occurred.
Camera four is known
as the asylum.
Five is the attic.
Six is the nursery,
and that's where the little girl
is said to be running around.
So I checked in with a phone
call to the local police.
What'd they say?
They said that
the McCormick family Mm-hmm.
who named the house
the Emerald Hill House,
the father passed away
here of old age. Yeah, mm-hmm.
He did have a daughter,
who did commit suicide.
Here's the thing --
From a paranormal perspective,
it could be a possibility
that in some sort of energy
form, she lingers on.
Yeah.
You know, maybe that's part of
what people are picking up on.
I know that she lived here,
and I feel like she didn't have
a happy life here.
I feel her being depressed,
maybe suicidal.
And it could also be, like,
from a psychic perspective,
maybe that's part of what
Cindy was picking up on
was the emotional turmoil.
I think we should take
a different approach with this.
Why don't we switch out?
- Because the house is a maze.
- Yeah.
You're going to hear me
walking around upstairs,
if I'm up there.
- Yeah.
You're going to hear me, and so,
just to eliminate it,
one of us stays here,
and we swap out.
I like it.
All right.
Scream if you need anything,

We're each going to take
our own time
and go investigate by ourselves.
No producers, no sound man, no
cameraman, just us and a camera.
KATRINA: Entering.
Where am I going?
Here I am.
Hello?
If there's any energies
in this house, any spirits,
I'm walking through by myself.

a really good time
to let me know
where you hang out.

I would say
the night investigation
was a total success.
We experienced a phenomenal

intelligent activity

stating that this place
is haunted by numerous spirits.

JACK: Come take a seat.
So we are just going through
all the evidence
from the night investigation.
We got some things on camera
I'll show you.

was in the attic.

I'm going to play you from
two different angles,
so stationary camera, and then
this is her handy camera.
Look at the shadow
on the walls here.
You, like
Look at that.
So it pulls back.
Now, when you look at it
from this second angle,
this is when things
get interesting.
Now look at how she moves, and
then look how the shadow moved.
I'll slow it down for you.
- That's wild.
- Yeah.
KATRINA:
I mean, we can't explain it,
and we think
it's kind of significant.
We did bring a psychic
medium in.
And there were a couple spots
that she felt
very strongly about.
Funny enough, the first place
she wanted to go was the attic,
and when we brought
her in there,
she was picking up
on a lot of different things.
It feels like witchcraft.
It feels like a spell has been
put on this place
or a curse has been
put on this place.
This next bit of footage,
we use this technology.
It's, like, a 3-D
mapping technology,
and so you attach it
to a camera,
and you use it to map out
essentially humans.
So you can see here
that that's Katrina.
That's me.
This is the actual lens
on the camera, but watch.
A strange figure appears
right here in front of the crib.
You see that? hide and seek.
It's like child size,
and this is at the point
when we are trying
to communicate with the girl
or boy that hangs out
in the nursery room.
- I just got chills.
- Right.
It appears, for some reason.
You can see it then maps
Katrina,
so it's not me it's mapping.
It's
And then it vanishes.
That's pretty intense.
We do believe that this is,
you know, a haunted location,

the haunted attraction
is amplifying some of that.

She doesn't like it
because this is her home.
I never would have guessed.
Me, either.[ Laughs ]
I just thought
it worked with it.

Interestingly enough, the rumor
about this place
having once been the house
of a witch who died in 1899
could very well be true.
According to the records,
this woman did exist,
and she died in 1899.
- Shut up.
- Yeah.
So there might be some sort of,
you know, connection there.

The reports are everything
from apparitions to scratchings.
The thing that I find worrisome,
though, is rumors of witchcraft.
Yeah, local lore says
that there was a woman
that lived in this house
or on that property,
and she was apparently a witch.
She was accused,
though nobody really knows
what happened to her,
but she placed a curse
upon this house.
We are the very first people
ever to do
an investigation here.
So I think anything we find
is going to be
significant to this place.Totally.
This is actually what's more
worrisome for me,
is that they've turned the house
into an attraction.
Yes. It's a haunted house for,
you know, Halloween time.
You go there, and it's spooky,
and it's fun,
but I wonder
if that's opening up portals
that wouldn't otherwise
be opened.
Yeah. Most people that have
lived in this property
have been struck with pretty
significant family tragedy,
from suicides to people
getting sick, dying randomly.
A lot of what, I think,
we're learning about this place
is there's a huge
amount of rumor.
The rumor mill is in full effect.
Yeah.
So we're going to go meet
Chris and Veronica Pirt,
and they're the current owners

KATRINA: Because of all the different
types of paranormal activity
that has plagued this house
for decades,
a lot of locals
never want to come up here,
and it discouraged
a lot of people
from making this a residence.
Haunted houses are, I mean,
personally, I love going to them
because I think
they're a lot of fun,
but for a lot of people,
they're the closest to fear
that they ever want to be,
and the fact that we're actually
investigating a place
where so many people
have put haunted energy
into the walls of this place
is pretty interesting.
I mean, this is the stuff
that horror movies are made of.

- Hello.
- Hi.
- How's it going?
- I'm Jack.
- Hi, Jack. I'm Veronica.
- Chris.
- Nice to meet you guys.
KATRINA: So this is the house? Yes.
Yeah. How long have you guys owned it?
- This is our fourth year.
- Mm-hmm.
But you worked
on the property before?
Yes, I've been here
for 16 years.
Okay, so I'm sure in 16 years,
you've had your fair share
of weirdness?
Well, actually,
not until I owned it.
The first 12 years,
nothing at all.
And what about the owner
at that time,
were they experiencing things? Yes, yes.
He couldn't even spend
the night in the house.
Has anything ever happened
out here?
Yes, right where we're standing,
a black figure wearing a top hat
has reported to have been
seen many times.
He's apparently walked
through walls.
He's been seen in this room,
as well as down there.
This is the original door here.

It's a very, very heavy door,
and it's come open
on its own quite a few times.
We usually keep everything
all locked up,

It was a heck of a noise.

KATRINA: And had the previous
owner ever talked to you
about something like that
happening here to him before?
No, nothing like that.
He always talked about
experience --
hearing his voice being called
and sleep paralysis.
I find it very interesting
that Chris and Veronica
didn't really start
experiencing anything too crazy
until they took
full ownership of the house.
It seems like the house
was like,
"Oh, cool, you're the new boss?
Check it out,
we live here, too."
KATRINA: What happens in here
when this is a haunted house?
Every year, somebody sees
the little girl
that we presume is upstairs.Mm-hmm.
Every single year,
they come out, and they say,
"That girl you have up
there is fantastic,"
and they describe her
exactly the same.
Seven years old, Victorian
clothing, dark, like,
shoulder-length hair and bangs,
every time they describe her.

are experiencing upstairs?
Well, upstairs is where people
have had seen the little girl.

They've seen the black
masses upstairs, too.
So we're on the second floor,
and this is where
a lot of the things
that we've been told
about the place have took place.
One story that we hear
frequently is that a mother
drowned her special needs child
in a bathtub in another room,
and then shot her and her
other daughter in the room
we're standing in.
That is horrific.

JACK: Here's the nursery.

in the room next door.

So this would have been
the master bedroom.
So what's happened in here?
This was the room
that an actress did
get scratched in before.
The girl who was scratched up
here was scratched
on her shoulder.

JACK: That's freaky.
This place is creepy.
I didn't like the upstairs.
It felt really just oppressive,
but it seems like the majority
of the activity occurs upstairs,
and that's where
the murder-suicides
have taken place
and where the little girl
is most often seen.
All right.
So what's happened out here?
Out here, the grave is out
behind our fountain up there.
Oh.When we'd done the tour
inside the house,
they kind of dropped the bomb
on us with the,
"Oh, and by the way,
there's a grave out back."
They told us, "Well, for sure
one person's buried here,
but there's been rumors of more.
They just weren't marked."
Because obviously there's
a lot of rumors online --
deaths, witches,
curses, you know.

sift through them yourselves?

KATRINA: One of the reasons
this is really important
that we found this is because
there's so little confirmed
history about this space,
and the people
who came through these walls.
So Elizabeth McCormick,
June 4th.
Finding anything,
even if it's just the name,
like Elizabeth, helps us
not only historically,
but it could also be very
meaningful to our investigation
because we can actually
call out to those people,
to see if we get a response,
and those names
might come through. Game on.
JACK: So Katrina is going to
interview one of the actresses
that works here
during the hauntings.
Okay, this is Katrina's
interview with Jocelyn,
who's an actress here
at the Demon House.
Why don't you take me through
the experiences
you've had with the paranormal?
I was literally next
to the crib here.
Nothing is around me,
and I literally, like,
in my pigtail, I felt this.
- Oh.
- And I was, like, "Okay,"
you know, like,
something isn't right.
What was that?
You know?
I wanted to jump out of my skin
and run out of the room, but
- Yeah.
- I had -- A group was coming.
I had to keep my composure,
while shaking, did my act,
kind of just said
out loud to myself,
"Whatever that was,
don't do that again.
I don't like that." You know? Mm-hmm.
And so what was the next
thing that happened to you?
Once the group leaves,
I'm sitting her by myself.
I hear in, like, a little girl's
voice, like,
"Where are you?" Where did it come from?
Um, I was actually sitting
in this corner over here,
and it sounded
like it was down, like,
in the hallway or something.
Did you think there's anything
else in this house besides her?
I do believe there is
something else here.
It's definitely
a stronger presence.
I don't know whether or not
it's, like, a male presence
or a female presence, but it's
definitely a stronger presence,
and it does make you
uncomfortable.
I think this really helps us
narrow in.
Jocelyn says there's a more
aggressive spirit here,
and that's the one you need
to look out for.

♪♪
JACK: We just spent a good part
of last night
and this morning
compiling a ton of research.
We went deep web.
We got a lot of information
about that property.
So there's a lot of rumors about
this place obviously, right? Mm-hmm.
And it's kind of interesting
because the one that I totally,
right off the bat, I'm like,
"Ugh, totally a rumor,"
actually has some merit to it.
- Which one's that?
- The witch.
Okay.
You know, going through
the deeds and everything,
there was a family
named the Colvins.Mm-hmm.
There was a Josephine
and a Moses.
- They were married.
- Mm-hmm.
Josephine and Moses are buried
in a local cemetery here.
What's really weird is that
they have this headstone
with their surname,
with a witch's broom on it.
Guess who owned the house.
- The Colvins.
- The Colvins.
That would certainly explain
the spirits
that they're experiencing.
I think probably an element
of something going on there
is the fact that
it's a haunted house,
and you're doing things,
like putting fear
in that environment,
and if you think about it,
all those emotions running
through that property
as long as it has been,
maybe it drummed up
some sort of energy
that is now manifesting
in certain aspects
of the paranormal,
like the doors opening
and closing,
like the cabinets blowing open.
Then you have this other element
of the intelligent stuff
coming through, right,
like the top hat guy
and the little girl.
I would think maybe that has
to do with the property.
Because there's a lot of
different types of activity
that people are
experiencing here,
this goes way beyond
what you would see
in a typical haunted house.
You have a woman who was
accused of being a witch,
and if that's true,
a lot of people believed
that she cursed this property.
So I reached out to Cindy Kaza,
who's a friend of mine,
a psychic medium.
I figured, like, why not see if
she can get some names for us?
