A Haunting (2005) s01e06 Episode Script

Narrator: IN THIS WORLD, THERE IS REAL EVIL IN THE DARKEST SHADOWS AND IN THE MOS ORDINARY PLACES.
THESE ARE THE TRUE STORIES OF THE INNOCENT AND THE UNIMAGINABLE.
AL AND KELLY ARE BUILDING A LIFE TOGETHER, BUT THEY FIND THEMSELVES IN THE SHADOWS OF A GRIM PAST.
DEATH LURKS AROUND EVERY CORNER.
AND AL UNCOVERS A LONG-FORGOTTEN TRAGEDY.
A KILLER RETURNS FROM THE GRAVE TO TEAR THE FAMILY APART.
BETWEEN THE WORLD WE SEE AND THE THINGS WE FEAR, THERE ARE DOORS.
WHEN THEY'RE OPENED, NIGHTMARES BECOME REALITY.
-- Captions by VITAC -- IN THE CANADIAN CITY OF MONTREAL IN THE FALL OF 1996 SINGLE MOTHER KELLY FONTAINE AND HER 6-YEAR-OLD DAUGHTER HALEY FANTASIZE ABOUT LIVING IN A BIG HOUSE.
1, 2, 3! WE WOULD WALK ALONG AND PICK A STREET.
AND SHE'D PICK HER FAVORITE HOUSE, AND I'D PICK MY FAVORITE HOUSE.
THAT WAS KIND OF A GAME WE ALWAYS PLAYED.
Narrator: OUT OF CONCERN FOR HER FAMILY, KELLY AGREED TO BE INTERVIEWED ONLY ON THE CONDITION OF ANONYMITY.
WE BOTH SEEMED TO LIKE THIS HOUSE.
EVERY OTHER STREET, I WOULD LIKE ONE AND SHE'D LIKE A DIFFEREN ONE.
I GUESS THAT'S WHY THIS GAME CAME ABOUT, BECAUSE WE ALWAYS DREAMED OF LIVING IN A NICE HOUSE.
SOMEDAY, WE ARE GONNA HAVE A HOUSE JUST LIKE THIS.
Narrator: FOR MORE THAN A YEAR, KELLY HAS BEEN DATING CONSTRUCTION SUPERVISOR AL GOODWIN.
WE SEEMED TO JUST CONNEC REALLY WELL.
AND THERE WAS NEVER ANYTHING WE COULDN'T TALK ABOUT.
IT WAS GREAT.
Narrator: AL SAYS HE'S FOUND THE IDEAL HOUSE FOR THEM TO LIVE IN TOGETHER.
AND THEN ODD COINCIDENCE, IT'S THE SAME HOUSE THAT KELLY AND HER DAUGHTER HAD BOTH PICKED A FEW DAYS EARLIER.
YOU KNOW THAT OLD PLACE ON SYCAMORE? THAT'S OUR FAVORITE.
OH, MY GOSH, WE LOVE THA HOUSE.
WELL, THEN, THAT'S PERFECT.
WHEN WE FOUND OUT IT WAS THIS HOUSE, WE WERE JUST SO EXCITED ABOUT IT.
WE THOUGHT, "THIS IS THE PLACE WHERE WE'RE GONNA BE VERY, VERY HAPPY FOR A LONG TIME.
" OOH, WOW.
I LOVE THE YELLOW.
IT'S GREAT.
Narrator: BEFORE MOVING IN, AL AND KELLY HAVE THE ROOMS REPAINTED.
IF WE HAVE A BABY WHEN WE HAVE A BABY.
Narrator: THEY BEGIN PLANNING HOW TO DECORATE THE NURSERY.
BABY'S CHANGING TABLE RIGH HERE.
OUR DREAM WAS TO STAR ANOTHER FAMILY, TO GIVE HALEY A BROTHER OR SISTER, AND HAVE ANOTHER BABY.
AND EVERYTHING JUST SEEMED SO -- LIKE IT WAS GOING WONDERFUL FOR US.
MMM.
[ FLOOR CREAKING .]
[ FOOTSTEPS .]
DID YOU HEAR THAT? YEAH.
LET'S CHECK IT OUT.
WE HEARD SOMEBODY COMING UP THE STAIRS.
AND THERE WAS NOBODY THERE.
MAYBE IT WAS NOTHING.
WE LOOKED ALL AROUND AND DIDN'T SEE ANYONE OR ANYTHING.
AND WE JUST KIND OF SAID, "WELL, IT'S AN OLD HOUSE.
MAYBE THERE'S GONNA BE NOISES WE HAVE TO GET USED TO.
" I'LL CHECK OVER HERE.
Narrator: A FEW WEEKS LATER, AL IS AT WORK AND HALEY IS A SCHOOL.
[ TELEPHONE RINGING .]
HELLO? Narrator: KELLY GETS A CALL FROM HER DOCTOR.
WOW.
ARE YOU SURE? Narrator: SHE'S PREGNANT.
THAT'S GREAT NEWS.
YEAH, OKAY.
I WAS JUST TIDYING UP.
[ FOOTSTEPS .]
I HEARD FOOTSTEPS IN THE SAME ROOM AS ME.
BUT I THOUGHT, "OKAY, I'M NO GONNA OVERREACT.
" I JUST KIND OF PRETENDED I DIDN'T HAPPEN AND CARRIED ON WITH WHAT I WAS DOING.
Narrator: THAT EVENING, KELLY BREAKS THE NEWS TO AL.
I'M PREGNANT.
Narrator: SHE ALSO TELLS HIM ABOUT THE EERIE FOOTSTEPS.
AND I DIDN'T WANT TO MAKE I LIKE I WAS THIS NERVOUS WRECK KIND OF PERSON.
OUR RELATIONSHIP LIVING TOGETHER WAS STILL SO NEW THAT I DIDN' WANT TO SOUND LIKE I WAS CRAZY.
I MEAN, THERE'S NOBODY THERE.
I JUST -- HEARD FOOTSTEPS.
I COULDN'T BELIEVE IT.
I JUST COULDN'T BELIEVE IT.
MAYBE IT'S SOMEBODY WALKING OUTSIDE.
YEAH.
MAYBE.
[ FOOTSTEPS .]
THEN I THOUGHT, "YEAH, THERE'S SOMETHING GOING ON IN HERE.
" Narrator: KNOWING THERE ARE NO INTRUDERS IN THE HOUSE, AL CALLS A FRIEND -- RICHARD PALMISANO, WHO WORKS AS A PARANORMAL RESEARCHER IN HIS SPARE TIME.
AL BELIEVES RICHARD IS THE IDEAL PERSON TO RESOLVE THE MYSTERY OF THE PHANTOM FOOTSTEPS.
HEY, RICHARD, HOW YOU DOING? THEY WERE VERY WORRIED.
THEY JUST SIGNED THE LEASE FOR A NEW PLACE.
THEY HAD A SMALL CHILD.
THEY WERE CONCERNED THEY WERE GETTING INTO SOMETHING THEY SHOULDN'T BE GETTING INTO.
Narrator: AL ARGUES THA THERE'S PROBABLY A SIMPLE EXPLANATION FOR THE SOUNDS.
HE WAS SORT OF HOPING I WASN'T PARANORMAL.
HE WANTED TO HAVE SOME REASONABLE EXPLANATION FOR WHA WAS GOING ON.
I'VE INVESTIGATED PHENOMENA WHERE IT WAS JUST MICE OR, YOU KNOW, THE HOUSE SETTLING.
THEN WE CAN IDENTIFY THE CAUSE.
Narrator: RICHARD SUGGESTS TRYING TO RECORD THE SOUNDS IN THE HOUSE WHEN IT IS EMPTY.
Narrator: RICHARD THINKS THE SPIRIT IS ATTRACTED TO KELLY.
HE BELIEVE SHE SHOULD BE THE ONE TO TURN ON THE RECORDER.
WHOEVER SEEMED TO BE IN A HOUSE, SEEMED TO HAVE A CLOSENESS TO HER.
Narrator: THE NEXT DAY, KELLY PREPARES TO LEAVE TO PICK UP HER DAUGHTER HALEY FROM SCHOOL.
I'M LEAVING NOW.
I DELIBERATELY WALKED WITH HEAVY FOOTSTEPS DOWN THE STAIRS.
AND I SLAMMED THE DOOR SO THA ANYTHING THAT HAPPENED PAST THA POINT OF THE DOOR SLAMMING, THEY WOULD KNOW WASN'T ME.
Narrator: THAT NIGHT WHEN AL AND RICHARD GET OFF WORK, THEY RETRIEVE THE TAPE RECORDER.
I DID NOT TOUCH THE TAPE RECORDER.
I DID NOT REWIND IT.
I DIDN'T WANT TO BE THE ONE TO FIND OUT WHETHER THERE WAS ANYTHING ON IT OR NOT.
I'M LEAVING NOW.
Narrator: WHAT THEY HEAR ON THE TAPE TAKES THEM ALL BY SURPRISE.
YOU COULD HEAR A TINKLING THAT SOUNDED LIKE A CHARM BRACELET AND THEN THE FOOTSTEPS STOPPED.
[ VOICE MUMBLES .]
IT WAS ALMOST -- NOT EVEN A HUMAN SOUND.
IT WAS AWFUL.
IT WAS JUST AWFUL.
I LOOKED AT AL, AND I DIDN' NEED TO TELL HIM HE HAD SOMETHING IN THE HOUSE.
HE ALREADY KNEW FROM THE TAPE THERE WAS SOMETHING UNSEEN ROAMING THAT HOUSE.
Narrator: AL REPLAYS THE EERIE RECORDING.
PARANORMAL RESEARCHER RICHARD PALMISANO.
YOU HEAR FOOTSTEPS COMING DOWN THE STAIRS, JUST BARE FEET.
AND YOU CAN HEAR BRACELETS JINGLING.
[ VOICE SIGHS .]
THEN THERE'S A SIGH.
AND THE SIGH IS ALMOST LIKE ABANDONMENT OF A CHILD.
IT WAS ACTUALLY VERY OVERWHELMING TO THINK THAT, YOU KNOW, YOU HAVE A SPIRIT IN YOUR HOUSE AND NOW YOU HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO BELIEVE IN SOMETHING YOU NEVER BELIEVED IN BEFORE.
WHO DO YOU THINK IT IS? IT DEFINITELY SOUNDS FEMALE TO ME.
I BET IT WAS -- Narrator: AL TELLS RICHARD THAT HE HAD MET THE HOUSE'S PREVIOUS OCCUPANTS, A WOMAN AND HER 15-YEAR-OLD DAUGHTER.
HE SAYS THAT THE DAUGHTER WORE A CHARM BRACELET.
AND HE THINKS THE VOICE ON THE TAPE SOUNDS LIKE HER.
HERE'S WHAT I HEARD.
Narrator: BOTH THE MOTHER AND DAUGHTER WERE FORCIBLY EVICTED FOR FAILURE TO PAY RENT.
AL SAYS THE MOTHER WAS A DRUG ABUSER WHO DRESSED PROVOCATIVELY AND HUNG OUT IN BARS.
NOTICE TO VACATE! Narrator: HER MANY LOVERS AND UNPAID BILLS MADE LIFE DIFFICUL FOR HER DAUGHTER.
AL SAYS HE HEARD THAT AFTER MOVING TO AN APARTMENT, THE MOTHER CONTINUED TO FREQUEN BARS.
I KNEW THE MOTHER, AND SHE WASN'T A VERY GOOD PERSON.
BYE, MOM.
DON'T WAIT UP AND STAY OUT OF TROUBLE.
SHE WAS INTO A LOT OF DRUGS.
Narrator: THE 15-YEAR-OLD GIRL BECAME INCREASINGLY DESPERATE ABOUT HER MOTHER'S DESTRUCTIVE BEHAVIOR.
THE GIRL DECIDED THAT DEATH WAS NOT THE RIGHT ANSWER AND CALLED I NEED SOME HELP.
Narrator: BUT THE AMBULANCE ARRIVED TOO LATE TO SAVE HER.
I DON'T THINK SHE WAS REALLY TRYING TO KILL HERSELF.
IT SEEMED LIKE IT WAS A CRY FOR HELP AND NOT THAT SHE REALLY WANTED TO KILL HERSELF.
IT SEEMED LIKE SHE WAS TRYING TO GET HER MOTHER'S ATTENTION.
I THINK YOU'RE RIGHT.
WE KIND OF PUT TWO AND TWO TOGETHER.
AND THE THREE OF US BELIEVED THE GIRL HAD COME BACK TO THE HOUSE SEEKING HER MOTHER AND, MOS LIKELY, FOLLOWING KELLY AROUND AS A MOTHER IMAGE.
AL JUST KIND OF REALLY GO CURIOUS ABOUT IT.
I WAS A BIT CURIOUS, BUT I WAS MUCH MORE AFRAID THAN I WAS CURIOUS.
Narrator: DURING THE DAYS AND NIGHTS THAT FOLLOWED, WHENEVER THE HOUSE IS EMPTY, AL AND RICHARD LEAVE TAPE RECORDERS RUNNING.
AND WHEN NO ONE'S AROUND AND THE HOUSE IS QUIET, THEY'LL TALK.
THEY'LL DO THINGS.
[ TELEPHONE RINGS .]
YOU COULD HEAR A PHONE RINGING.
YEAH, IT'S ME.
AND HER ANSWERING THE PHONE.
AND YOU COULD HEAR HER SIDE OF THE CONVERSATION.
[ TALKING INDISTINCTLY .]
I KNOW.
IT WAS COMPLETELY OBVIOUS I WAS THIS GIRL.
Narrator: RICHARD RETURNS ONE SATURDAY NIGHT TO INVESTIGATE FURTHER.
KELLY ARRANGES FOR HALEY TO STAY WITH FRIENDS TO KEEP HER FROM BEING FRIGHTENED BY THE MEN'S ACTIVITIES.
AL AND RICHARD SET UP THEIR EQUIPMENT IN KEY LOCATIONS AROUND THE HOUSE.
WE WERE RUNNING VIDEO UPSTAIRS.
WE HAD TAPE RECORDERS RECORDING UPSTAIRS.
WE HAD TAPE RECORDERS DOWNSTAIRS OPERATING.
I'M GLAD YOU COULD COME OVER.
Narrator: RICHARD'S WIFE ARRIVES TO KEEP KELLY COMPANY.
I'M GOING TO GET THE COFFEE.
AND IF YOU DON'T MIND, THE CARDS ARE IN THE CLOSET.
Narrator: THEY DECIDE TO PLAY CARDS.
HERE YOU GO.
THANK YOU.
YOUR CLOSET IS FREEZING COLD.
IT WAS REALLY STRANGE THA THE CLOSET WOULD BE COLD BECAUSE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE WALL THERE WAS A HOT-WATER HEATER AND THE PIPE WENT THROUGH THA CLOSET AND THAT CLOSET WAS ALWAYS HOT.
HEY, WE DECIDED WE WERE GOING TO PLAY SOME BRIDGE.
OKAY.
YOU DEAL FIRST.
THANK YOU.
VERY NICE.
[ CREAKING .]
[ INDISTINCT VOICE .]
Narrator: AL AND RICHARD ARE EAGER TO LISTEN TO THE TAPES.
AH! WHAT'S WRONG? AND SOMETHING HIT ME.
MY ENTIRE BODY WAS JUS TINGLING.
AND I COULDN'T SEE.
MY EYES WERE WATERING.
I WAS DISORIENTED.
AND I SAID, "WHAT'S WRONG?" AND HE SAID, "IT'S LIKE SOMETHING RAN THROUGH ME.
" CAN I GET YOU SOMETHING, SOME WATER, AN ASPIRIN, ANYTHING? NO, IT'S ALL RIGHT.
LET'S LISTEN.
I'M CURIOUS WHAT'S ON THERE.
DON'T YOU TURN YOUR BACK ON ME.
I WILL GET YOU.
IT'S LIKE SOMETHING JUST WEN RIGHT THROUGH ME.
ARE YOU OKAY? OH, MAN.
THERE WAS ONLY AL AND I UPSTAIRS, SO WHERE THIS VOICE CAME FROM, I DON'T KNOW.
DON'T YOU TURN YOUR BACK ON ME! I WILL GET YOU! I GOT SCARED.
IT'S LIKE SOMETHING JUST WENT RIGHT THROUGH ME.
WHO IS THIS GUY? Narrator: BUT WHAT FRIGHTENS KELLY, ONLY MAKES AL MORE DETERMINED TO SOLVE THE MYSTERY.
WHO'S THIS GUY NOW THAT SAYS HE'S EITHER GONNA GET US OR THE LITTLE GIRL? [ FOOTSTEPS .]
[ SCREAMS .]
THIS DOOR HAS AN OLD HABIT OF OPENING BY ITSELF.
AL -- KELLY AND RICHARD'S WIFE -- THEY SAID, "THAT'S ENOUGH.
WE'RE NOT STAYING HERE TONIGHT.
" IT WAS THAT BAD.
EVERYBODY WAS JUST TOO SCARED.
Narrator: AL, KELLY, RICHARD, AND HIS WIFE RETURNED TO THE HAUNTED HOUSE AFTER A FRIGHTENING EXPERIENCE THE NIGH BEFORE.
I DON'T KNOW, I JUST -- Narrator: KELLY REMAINS UNNERVED.
RICHARD AND I WILL CHECK I OUT FIRST.
I WAS TOO AFRAID AT THA POINT TO LEARN ANY MORE THAT WAS GOING ON.
Narrator: AL AND RICHARD VENTURE INTO THE HOUSE TO FACE THE UNKNOWN.
THE TWO MEN FIND NOTHING UNUSUAL UNTIL THEY GO TO THE SECOND FLOOR.
WE WENT THROUGH THE HOUSE, UPSTAIRS, ONLY TO FIND ALL THESE BLACK SKID MARKS THROUGHOUT THE ROOMS.
IT CERTAINLY WOULD EXPLAIN HOW BAD IT WAS LAST NIGHT.
THE ONLY THING I CAN REASON IS SOME OTHER ENTITY, SOME MALE ENTITY IN THIS HOUSE, WAS CHASING THIS GIRL.
AND SHE WAS TRYING TO GET AWAY.
Narrator: THEY TELL THE WOMEN WHAT THEY FOUND.
RICHARD BELIEVES THEY NEED A HELP THE GIRL TO CROSSOVER TO THE NEXT WORLD.
I FELT AN OBLIGATION TO TRY TO HELP HER.
WHY I REALLY FELT LIKE THA I REALLY DON'T KNOW, BECAUSE I WAS VERY AFRAID.
Narrtor: KELLY AND AL AGREED TO TRY TO HELP THE GIRL.
THEY HOPE THAT WILL GIVE THEM BACK THEIR HOME.
I THOUGHT MAYBE ONCE THIS GIRL WAS ON HER WAY, EVERYTHING WILL BE OKAY.
Narrator: RICHARD PROMISES TO FIND A MEDIUM WHO CAN HELP.
KELLY ANXIOUS TO PRESERVE HER RELATIONSHIP WITH AL, RELUCTANTLY AGREES TO CONTINUE LIVING IN THE HOUSE.
A FEW DAYS LATER, RICHARDS BRINGS A MEDIUM TO THE HOUSE.
SHE'S HELPED HUNDREDS OF SPIRITS TO CROSSOVER.
I WAS PREGNANT AT THE TIME AND I SAID, "WHAT IF SOMETHING BAD HAPPEN?" YOU NEED TO BE HERE, OK? DON'T WORRY.
WE'RE GONNA SAY A PRAYER FOR YOUR PROTECTING.
AND SHE SAID NO, IT WAS VERY IMPORTANT FOR ME TO BE THERE AND BE PART OF THIS.
WE ALL JOINED HANDS AND SHE PRAYED FOR OUR SAFETY.
SHE REALLY SEEMED LIKE SHE KNEW WHAT SHE WAS DOING.
AMEN.
SHE KIND OF WENT INTO A TRANCE.
HI, HONEY.
SHE WAS HAVING A CONVERSATION WITH THIS YOUNG GIRL AND TELLING HER THAT SHE WASN'T SUPPOSED TO BE HERE AND STAY HERE THA SHE NEEDED TO COME ON HER WAY.
YOU NEED TO CROSSOVER NOW.
IT'S ALRIGHT TO BE AFRAID.
YOU NEED TO CROSSOVER NOW AND YOU NEED TO FOLLOW THE LIGHT.
IT'S ALRIGHT TO BE AFRAID.
Narrator: SUDDENLY, THE MEDIUM FLINCHES.
THERE'S A NEGATIVE ENTITY THAT JUST ENTERED THE ROOM.
THIS DARK ENTITY SHOWED UP, TRYING TO COACH THE GIRL TO STAY.
Narrator: THE MEDIUM URGES THEM BOTH TO CROSSOVER.
WHY WOULD YOU NOT LET HER GO? SHE STARTED ARGUING WITH THE MALE SPIRIT, TELLING HIM TO LEAVE THE GIRL ALONE.
I COMMAND YOU IN THE NAME OF GOD, TO LET HER GO! GO TO HELL! FINE.
SHE YELLED AT THIS MALE SPIRIT TO GO RUN TO HIS OWN HELL.
SHE'S GONE.
SHE DID SHOW US THAT THE GIRL HAD GONE ON HER WAY, BUT SHE SAID THAT THE MALE SPIRIT, HE'S NOT GOING ANYWHERE.
I DON'T THINK YOU'RE GONNA GET HIM TO LEAVE.
AND HE'S NOT THE ONLY ONE HERE.
AND I WAS JUST, I FELT KIND OF CRUSHED AT THAT POINT.
KELLY WANTED OUT, AND AL WANTED TO KNOW MORE.
THIS IS JOHN, THE CLAIRVOYANT -- Narrator: A FEW WEEKS LATER, RICHARD INVITES A CLAIRVOYANT TO SEE IF HE CAN HELP.
LET ME GIVE YOU A LITTLE BI OF BACKGROUND.
I'VE HAD THIS ABILITY TO SENSE SPIRITS -- Narrator: THE CLAIRVOYANT, JOHN, HAS BEEN ABLE TO SENSE THE PRESENCE OF SPIRITS SINCE CHILDHOOD.
HE'S COMMUNICATED WITH THE DEAD IN MORE THAN 1,000 READINGS.
HIERARCHY OF GHOSTS.
THE PENDULUM IS AN INSTRUMEN I'VE USED FOR YEARS.
SOME PEOPLE REFER TO IT AS A DOUSING TOOL.
IT GIVES A SENSE OR FEELING THROUGH YOUR HAND, ALMOST LIKE A CURRENT OF ELECTRICITY.
THE SPIRIT WORLD.
IT'S AN ANCIENT METHOD THAT Narrator: PENDULUMS HAVE BEEN EMPLOYED FOR MILLENIA TO DETEC IMPERCEPTIBLE VIBRATIONS AND OFTEN TO COMMUNICATE WITH SPIRITS.
JOHN EXPLAINS THAT HE ASKS QUESTIONS AND THAT THE SPIRITS MOVE THE PENDULUM CLOCKWISE FOR "YES" AND COUNTERCLOCKWISE FOR "NO.
" I'VE HAD IT MOVING SO STRONGLY THAT I'VE HAD TO HOLD ON OR IT WOULD HAVE FLOWN OUT OF MY HAND.
IS THERE A SPIRIT HERE THA WOULD LIKE TO COMMUNICATE? I DID GET A POSITIVE RESPONSE.
ARE YOU A MALE SPIRIT? THE PENDULUM INDICATED A VERY STRONG "YES.
" YES.
CAN YOU TELL ME ABOUT IT? THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN, BOOM, FEAR WOULD COME RIGHT THROUGH ME.
WHOEVER WAS SPEAKING TO US IS NOW TERRIFIED.
NOT TONIGHT.
Narrator: JOHN TELLS THEM THAT THE DARK ENTITY HAS SILENCED THE OTHER SPIRITS.
WE CAN TRY AGAIN.
I THINK THAT JUST COMPLETELY SPARKED AL AND RICHARD'S CURIOSITY, AND THEY JUST WANTED TO CONTINUE AND DO AS MUCH INVESTIGATING AS POSSIBLE TO FIND OUT WHAT WAS GOING ON AND HOW -- HOW WE COULD CHANGE IT.
Narrator: A FEW NIGHTS LATER, JOHN RETURNS FOR ANOTHER TRY.
I USUALLY RUN EQUIPMENT A THE SAME TIME AND THEN AFTERWARDS I WOULD REVIEW THE TAPE AND I WOULD HEAR THE OTHER SIDE OF THE CONVERSATION.
IS THERE A SPIRIT HERE WHO WISHES TO COMMUNICATE? DO YOU KNOW THE NAME Narrator: THE CLAIRVOYAN TRIES TO FIND OUT MORE ABOUT THE DARK ENTITY.
I SPECIFICALLY REMEMBER ASKING, "DOES HE HAVE A NAME? DO YOU KNOW HIS NAME?" AND THE ANSWER CLEARLY WAS -- AND THEN IS WHEN THE PENDULUM BEGAN TO ACCELERATE IN ITS INTENSITY -- "YES.
" PLEASE INDICATE WHEN I GET TO THE FIRST LETTER OF HIS NAME.
"A," "B," "C," "D," "E.
" GOOD.
FIRST LETTER IS "E.
" NOW FOR THE SECOND LETTER.
"A," "B," "C.
" "C.
" HE'S HERE.
"A," "B," "C.
" HE'S COMING.
IT'S EDWARD! IT'S EDWARD! THAT NIGHT WHAT WE GOT ON TAPE WAS VERY CLEARLY YOU DIDN'T TELL THEM MY NAME, DID YOU? "YOU DIDN'T GIVE THEM MY NAME, DID YOU?" DID YOU?! [ WOMAN SCREAMS .]
I DON'T WANT ANY PART OF THIS ANYMORE.
Narrator: KELLY FINDS I TERRIFYING.
WE WANT TO GET RID OF THIS GHOST.
I SAID, "I DON'T WANT TO KNOW ANYTHING THAT'S GOING ON ANYMORE.
" BECAUSE I WAS JUST TOO AFRAID.
Narrator: RICHARD BEGINS RESEARCHING THE HISTORY OF AL AND KELLY'S HOME.
HE DISCOVERS THAT IN THE 1930s AND '40s, IT WAS HOME TO THE HIRED HELP FOR A NEARBY MANSION.
HE ALSO DISCOVERS THAT THE MANSION WAS MANAGED BY A MAN NAMED EDWARD, THE SAME NAME HEARD ON THE TAPE.
EDWARD HAD BEEN APPOINTED TO MANAGE THE HUGE ESTATE DURING WORLD WAR II.
THERE'S STREAKS.
WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?! Narrator: HE QUICKLY BECAME A BRUTAL TYRANT.
I WILL TEACH YOU TO OBEY.
DON'T EVER TOUCH ME.
HE WAS A MEAN-SPIRITED INDIVIDUAL.
HE WOULD TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE FEMALE WORKERS ON THE PROPERTY.
HE THOUGHT HE WAS VERY POWERFUL.
SO RICHARD WAS DOING SOME RESEARCH, AND HE FOUND OUT THERE REALLY WAS AN EDWARD.
Narrator: AL TRIES TO TELL KELLY ABOUT THEIR RESEARCH.
STOP IT! I DON'T WANT TO HEAR IT.
COME ON.
Narrator: A FEW HOURS LATER, KELLY FINDS HERSELF ALONE IN THE HOUSE.
[ DOORKNOB CREAKING .]
[ SCREAMS .]
IT SEEMED LIKE THIS -- WHATEVER IT WAS -- WAS REALLY TRYING TO SCARE US NOW.
HE WAS HERE AGAIN TODAY.
I WAS COMING OUT OF THE BATHROOM.
Narrator: THAT NIGHT, KELLY TELLS AL WHAT'S HAPPENED TO HER.
IT WAS REALLY PRETTY SCARY.
Narrator: THE NEWS FRUSTRATES HIM.
I'M GOING TO Narrator: HIS DESIRE TO PU AN END TO THE HAUNTING HAS BEGUN TO DRIVE A WEDGE BETWEEN THE TWO OF THEM.
LOOK, WHY DON'T WE JUS CANCEL OUR LEASE AND MOVE OUT? AL SEEMED LIKE HE WAS POSSESSED AT TIMES.
AND GIVE UP OUR DREAM HOME? I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND WHAT WAS DRIVING HIM TO WANT TO STAY THERE AND GET TO THE BOTTOM OF IT.
I'M GONNA GET OUR HOME BACK.
Narrator: AL CONVINCES KELLY THAT EDWARD IS SOMEHOW THE KEY TO BRINGING ALL THE TERRIFYING EXPERIENCES TO AN END.
WHAT ABOUT HALEY? Narrator: HE PROMISES THA WHILE HE TRIES TO SOLVE THE MYSTERY, HE WILL PROTECT BOTH HER AND HALEY.
HE REASSURED ME THAT THEY WERE SO CLOSE TO PUTTING THE PUZZLE TOGETHER AND SOLVING IT, THAT HE WAS VERY CONFIDENT THA IT WOULD STOP.
OKAY.
I COULDN'T REALLY DESCRIBE WHY I CHOSE TO STAY WHEN I SHOULD HAVE BEEN OUT OF THERE.
DID YOU HEAR THAT? Narrator: WHENEVER AL HEARS AN UNUSUAL SOUND, HE SNAPS A PHOTO HOPING TO CAPTURE IMAGES FROM THE SPIRIT WORLD.
CHECK IT OUT.
HERE ARE THE PICTURES I TOLD YOU ABOUT.
Narrator: AL SHOWS ONE OF THE PHOTOS TO RICHARD AND JOHN.
I REMEMBER JUST SEEING INFAN FACES.
THIS IS NOT US IMAGINING.
THERE'S ONE FACE.
THERE'S A FACE, THERE'S A FACE, THERE'S A FACE, THERE'S A FACE.
BUT I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND WHY I SAW SO MUCH BLOOD.
IT'S LIKE A SPIRITUAL ORPHANAGE HERE.
I REMEMBER THINKING, "WHAT WOULD CAUSE THIS? WHY IS THIS?" WE GOTTA FIGURE IT OUT.
IT'S JUST PUSHES ON FOR MORE INVESTIGATIONS, BECAUSE WE WOULDN'T STOP UNTIL WE FOUND OUT.
YOU HAVE A CHOICE.
GET OUT OR FIND OUT WHAT'S GOING ON.
Narrator: ONE NIGHT, HALEY GOES DOWNSTAIRS TO GET A DRINK OF WATER.
AL? TELL ME WHAT'S WRONG.
Narrator: HER TERROR MAKES I DIFFICULT FOR HER TO TALK.
AND I SAW SOMEONE.
I THOUGHT IT WAS AL, BUT I WASN'T.
I WAS PETRIFIED FOR MY DAUGHTER.
SHE WAS YOUNG.
SHE WAS SO INNOCENT.
IT'S OKAY, SWEETIE.
MAYBE IT COULD HAVE BEEN A NIGHTMARE.
NO, I SAW HIM.
HE WAS WALKING TOWARDS ME.
YOU KNOW, HALEY, SOMETIMES SOMETHING CAN SEEM REALLY REAL, BUT I DON'T KNOW WHETHER SHE JUST WROTE IT OFF THAT IT WAS HER IMAGINATION OR THAT MAYBE SHE HAD FULLY WOKEN UP.
I DON'T KNOW.
Narrator: THE NEXT MORNING [ VACUUM STOPS .]
I THOUGHT, "OKAY, THE CORD'S STILL HERE.
I DIDN'T PULL IT OUT OF THE WALL.
THIS IS STRANGE.
" [ GASPING .]
AL? IT'S ME.
I NEED YOU TO COME HOME.
NO, I NEED YOU TO COME HOME RIGHT NOW.
NO, I'M SERIOUS.
I'M NOT LEAVING THE BEDROOM UNTIL YOU GET HERE! PLEASE, JUST COME HOME.
OKAY.
I JUST -- I SAT ON THE BED, AND I WAS PETRIFIED.
[ FOOTSTEPS .]
AH! KELLY, IT'S ME -- AL.
OPEN THE DOOR.
I SEARCHED THE WHOLE HOUSE.
THERE'S NO ONE HERE.
NOTHING'S BEEN MOVED.
I DON'T CARE.
THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT.
IF YOU AND YOUR FRIENDS HADN' STIRRED EVERYTHING UP.
IT'S JUST GETTING WORSE.
THAT'S NOT TRUE.
WE'RE TRYING TO GET RID OF THEM.
IT STARTED PUTTING A REALLY BIG STRAIN ON OUR RELATIONSHIP BECAUSE IT WAS LIKE HE WAS MORE CONCERNED WITH THE UNKNOWN THAN HE WAS FOR US.
KELLY AND I FELT VERY FRUSTRATED THAT HE WAS SO INTO DOING THIS AND FIGURING IT ALL OUT THAT HE WAS PUTTING OUR FEELINGS ASIDE.
A FEW MORE WEEKS? HE, AGAIN, CONVINCED ME THA THEY WERE JUST SO CLOSE TO PUTTING THIS PUZZLE TOGETHER AND THAT THINGS WERE GOING TO CHANGE AND THINGS WOULD BE OKAY ONCE THEY FIGURED IT OUT.
Narrator: AL, RICHARD, AND JOHN DECIDE TO ONLY DO RESEARCH OUTSIDE THE HOUSE, OUT OF RESPECT FOR KELLY.
I SAW THAT SHE WAS VERY NERVOUS.
SHE DIDN'T WANT TO DISTURB HER HOUSEHOLD.
AT THE SAME TIME, HER HOUSEHOLD WAS UNDER ATTACK AND SO WAS SHE.
Narrator: JOHN WARNS AL THA EVIL SPIRITS MAY BE TRYING TO RUIN HIS RELATIONSHIP WITH KELLY.
I DID SAY THIS TO AL -- "BE CAREFUL WITH THE RELATIONSHIP WITH YOUR WIFE.
" BECAUSE VERY OFTEN THEY WILL DO THINGS TO GET YOU ARGUING, TO GET YOU FIGHTING, TO GET YOU TO HURT EACH OTHER.
THEY FEED OFF THAT NEGATIVE ENERGY.
THEY ALSO KNOW THAT, YOU KNOW, THEY BREAK YOUR MARRIAGE UP, YOU'RE LEAVING.
THE FACT THAT IT MANIFESTED SOLID AS IT DID, I FELT IT WAS SAYING, "OH, I KNOW YOU SEE ME.
I DON'T CARE.
I WANT YOU TO SEE ME.
I WANT YOU TO GET A GOOD LOOK A ME.
" Narrator: AL TELLS THE OTHERS THAT HE HEARD THAT A MAN LIVING IN THE OLD MANSION NEXT DOOR HAD REPEATEDLY SEEN THE DARK, GHOSTLY FIGURE IN HIS BASEMEN APARTMENT.
THE MAN MOVED OUT AFTER A SECTION OF THE FLOOR IN HIS BEDROOM MYSTERIOUSLY SANK.
IT'S INTERESTING THAT THIS FIGURE IS SHOWING UP IN DIFFERENT AREAS OF THE PROPERTY.
IT DOESN'T SEEM THAT HE JUS SHOWED UP IN ONE ROOM OF THE HOUSE.
I SAID, "WE NEED TO LOOK IN TO IT.
" THAT'S NOT GOOD.
Narrator: THEY DECIDE TO INVESTIGATE.
Narrator: IN WHAT USED TO BE AN OLD MANSION THREE MEN HUNT FOR CLUES TO A HAUNTING.
WE BASICALLY MADE A PORTABLE OUIJI BOARD, FOR LACK OF A BETTER TERM.
"A," "B," "C," "D," "E"AND NUMBERS.
WE LAID THIS OUT ON THE FLOOR, AND I USED THE PENDULUM.
I FELT WE WERE GONNA NEED MORE THAN JUST YES OR NO DOWN HERE.
EVERYBODY READY? YEAH.
IS THERE ANY SPIRIT HERE WHO WISHES TO COMMUNICATE? Narrator: JOHN CONTACTS THE SPIRIT OF A 19-YEAR-OLD GIRL.
I ASKED THE YOUNG GIRL HER NAME.
SHE VERY CLEARLY SPELLED OU "ANGELA.
" HOW OLD WERE YOU WHEN YOU DIED? Narrator: JOHN DISCOVERS THA IN 1943, THE GIRL DIED ON THE PROPERTY.
AND I ASKED HER, "WHAT IS I THAT CAUSED YOUR DEATH?" AND THE WORD I GOT WAS "BLEED.
" B-L-E-E-D, "BLEED.
" AND THEN, VERY CLEAR, "MY BABY.
" Narrator: JOHN LEARNS THA SHE HAD GONE TO SEE A DOCTOR.
SHE IDENTIFIES HIM AS THE BUTCHER.
THE NEXT DAY, JOHN APPROACHES AN EXPERT ON LOCAL HISTORY.
I CHECKED WITH A PROFESSOR A THE UNIVERSITY.
AND I ASKED HER, "CAN YOU TELL ME ANYTHING ABOUT THIS NAME?" AND SHE SAYS, "OH, THERE WAS A VERY FAMOUS ABORTIONIST THA WORKED IN THE LOCAL AREA.
" IT CAME UP IN SOME OF MY RESEARCH.
WHAT? Narrator: JOHN DEVELOPS A THEORY ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED A THE ESTATE.
YOU'RE WELCOME.
THE DOCTOR HAD TO FLEE THE U.
S.
BACK IN THE EARLY '40s.
AND THIS BUTLER, EDWARD, SAW A BEAUTIFUL OPPORTUNITY THAT HE COULD MAKE A LOT OF MONEY.
YOU CAN STAY AS LONG AS YOU WANT.
THANK YOU.
I KNOW YOU DON'T WANT TO HEAR ABOUT IT.
Narrator: AL TRIES TO TELL KELLY ABOUT THEIR NEW THEORY.
I HAD A CRUCIFIX ON MY NIGHTSTAND, AND IT LANDED WITH SUCH FORCE THAT IT BROKE.
I WAS PETRIFIED.
I SAID, "NOW, THIS IS ENOUGH.
WE HAVE TO GET OUT OF HERE.
YOU KNOW, THIS IS -- THIS IS INSANE.
" I'M TOO SCARED TO GO TO BED AT NIGHT AND WHEN I DO, I CAN' SLEEP ANYWAY.
WE NEED TO GET OUT OF HERE TOGETHER, AS A FAMILY.
COME ON OUT AND FACE ME! COME ON! Narrator: THE SHATTERING OF THE CRUCIFIX FRUSTRATES AL.
THIS ISN'T GONNA HELP ANYTHING.
HONEY, CALM DOWN.
I SAID, "YOU COME OUT.
YOU FACE ME.
WHERE ARE YOU? COME ON OUT.
" NOTHING.
OH! IS THIS IT? UH-HUH.
OKAY, EASY.
LET'S GO.
EASY.
Narrator: DESPITE THE PRESSURES DURING HER PREGNANCY, KELLY DELIVERS A HEALTHY BABY GIRL.
THE COUPLE NAMES HER CHARITY.
TWO DAYS LATER, KELLY RETURNS HOME WITH HER NEW DAUGHTER UNSURE OF WHAT AWAITS THEM.
Narrator: AT THE FORMER MANSION, THE THREE MEN HUNT FOR INFORMATION THAT WILL HELP THEM EXPEL A POWERFUL, DARK ENTITY.
WE WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK WITH ANGELA.
IS ANGELA HERE? Narrator: JOHN CONTACTS THE SPIRIT OF A GIRL WHO SAYS SHE DIED IN 1943.
CAN YOU HELP US FIND YOUR BODY? HE ASKED THE QUESTION, "WELL, COULD YOU GIVE US AN INDICATION WHERE YOU'RE BURIED?" AND THE PENDULUM, BEING ON A CHAIN, STOOD STRAIGHT UP.
Narrator: THIS AMAZES PARANORMAL RESEARCHER RICHARD PALMISANO.
TOTALLY DEFIES PHYSICS.
IT JUST BOGGLES MY MIND.
IF I HAD NOT WITNESSED IT, I PROBABLY WOULD NOT BELIEVE IT.
IS THIS WHERE YOU'RE BURIED? IS THIS IT? YES, THIS IS WHERE SHE'S BURIED.
Narrator: AL, JOHN, AND RICHARD PIECE TOGETHER ANGELA'S LAST HOURS.
SHE HAD GONE TO THE ESTATE FOR AN ABORTION BUT THE PROCEDURE WAS BOTCHED, NEARLY KILLING HER.
EDWARD AND THE DOCTOR CARRIED THE DYING GIRL TO THE BASEMEN AND DUG A SHALLOW GRAVE.
HE AND THE DOCTOR DUMPED HER IN THE HOLE IN THE BASEMENT.
PLEASE.
TOSSED SOME LARGE ROCKS ON HER, MAKE SURE SHE WAS DEAD.
AND THEN COVERED HER UP.
AND THIS 19-YEAR-OLD IS STILL THERE, AND SHE WANTS TO BE RELEASED.
SHE WANTS OUT OF THAT HOUSE.
THE NIGHTMARE IS ALMOST OVER.
Narrator: AL HAS A BACKGROUND IN CONSTRUCTION.
HE TELLS THE OWNER HE WILL TEAR UP THE SUNKEN FLOOR FOR FREE.
THE FLOOR HAS TO BE REPLACED ANYWAY, SO THE OWNER AGREES.
WE WENT ABOUT 8 OR 9 INCHES DEEPER.
AND WE FOUND THE FLAGSTONE THA MATCHED THE FLAGSTONE AROUND THE FIREPLACE WHICH WAS IN THA ROOM.
GUYS, IT'S REALLY LATE.
Narrator: THE MEN NEED MORE EQUIPMENT TO REMOVE THE HEAVY STONES, SO THEY DECIDE TO CONTINUE IN THE MORNING.
THE NEXT DAY, THE MEN RETURN TO THE MANSION TO CONTINUE DIGGING.
HEY, WHAT ARE YOU DOING? Narrator: BUT THE OWNER HAS HIRED WORKERS TO REPAIR THE FLOOR.
THEY'VE ALREADY POURED NEW CONCRETE.
WE SHOULDN'T HAVE STOPPED.
WE SHOULD HAVE KEPT GOING.
I COULD HAVE BEEN AS LITTLE AS 6 INCHES AWAY FROM A STARTLING REVELATION, AND I BELIEVE SHE'S STILL THERE.
Narrator: AL AND RICHARD ARE FRUSTRATED THAT THEY CANNO CONTINUE THEIR SEARCH.
WITHOUT HARD EVIDENCE, THEY CANNOT GO TO THE POLICE.
JOHN, YOU OKAY? JOHN, WHAT IS IT? DOES THAT FEEL BETTER, HONEY? Narrator: MEANWHILE, KELLY GETS CHARITY READY FOR HER BATH.
JOHN, WHAT IS IT? REVENGE.
I THINK WE'VE MADE HIM MAD.
Narrator: JOHN SUDDENLY SENSES THEY'VE DEEPLY ANGERED THE DARK ENTITY.
NEWBORN.
KELLY! WE'RE UP HERE IN THE NURSERY, HONEY.
OH! OH, MY GOD! KELLY.
OH, MY GOD.
THAT BOTTLE JUST FLEW ACROSS THE ROOM.
IT CAME THIS CLOSE TO HITTING HER.
IT COULD HAVE REALLY HURT HER.
I TOLD HIM THAT WAS IT.
NO, IT'S NOT OKAY! WHAT? "I'M TAKING THE GIRLS, AND I'M GONE OR YOU CAN COME WITH ME IF YOU WANT.
" BUT I AM LEAVING.
I AM NOT GOING TO STAY HERE.
I THINK THAT'S WHEN AL THOUGHT SOMETHING BAD'S GONNA HAPPEN TO HER, TOO.
AND THAT'S WHEN HE REALLY FINALLY AGREED THAT, "YEAH, IT'S TIME FOR US TO GET OUT OF HERE.
" I LOVE YOU.
LET'S MOVE.
Narrator: THE FAMILY FINALLY MOVES OUT, LEAVING THE DARK ENTITY IN CONTROL.
BUT EVEN TODAY, AL WISHES HE HAD RESCUED ANGELA'S BONES AND LAID TO REST THE MYSTERY BEHIND THE HAUNTING.
THERE'S NO END FOR ME.
I DON'T THINK EVEN KELLY KNOWS THAT.
I DON'T THINK I COULD EVEN TELL HER ABOUT THAT.
IF I EVER FOUND OUT THAT I COULD WALK IN THAT HOUSE AND -- I'D PROBABLY DO IT AGAIN, JUST TO FIND OUT.
