Portals to Hell (2019) s01e08 Episode Script
Strawberry River Inn
1
HANSEN: It's coming from
directly in the bathroom.
That thud was clear as day.
I don't even want
to open this door.
Whoa.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,
whoa, whoa, whoa,
whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Aaaaaaah!
JACK: Is this place
a portal to hell?

Oh, geez.

KATRINA:

We're taught from the time
we're very little
that this stuff doesn't exist.

But there are places
all over the world
that have a phenomena

shouldn't happen.
And when you're one
of those people
who has these experiences,
you are changed forever.

KATRINA: So, Jack and I
are on our way
to Strawberry River
Bed and Breakfast right now.
So, Strawberry River Inn
is in the Uinta Basin,
and the property
adjacent to the inn,
which is Skinwalker Ranch.
JACK: Yeah.
And skinwalker is infamous
for paranormal activity.
It's like the melting pot
for all things paranormal.
Yeah.
So, we're here because
your friend asked us
to come out, right?
Yes.
Ryan Burns.
Recently, he has been having
some unique activity
at his bed-and-breakfast
that he owns
from ghosts and
poltergeist activity
to possession.
And that's what I find
so interesting.
I mean, obviously Skinwalker
Ranch is what made this area,
I guess, kind of infamous
for paranormal activity
Yeah.
so, kind of makes sense
that Ryan's bed-and-breakfast
is having activity as well.
Yeah.
It wouldn't just be confined
to one property
if it's the whole area.
Yes. People claim
to see cryptids.
People claim to see
aliens and
Anything you think of --
UFOs, cryptos,
ghosts, demonic activity --
people have experienced here.
Cattle mutilations, like
Right.
And when we start going back
through accounts of people
having this type of experiences,
it's the whole county.
It is.
And it's been that way
for a very, very long time.
I mean, there is petroglyphs
from Native Americans
on big rock cliffs around here,
and they've got
weird drawn.
Yeah.
Historically speaking,
the Ute Indians and the Navajos
had years of warring factions.
So, the legend goes that
this land was cursed,
and they began to allegedly
torment each other
by sending skinwalkers.
They were like
evil medicine men.
Cheers.
To go and, like,
harass the tribes,
and they would
make people get sick,
and they would do
all sorts of stuff,
I mean, take on the form
of any animal.
Like a malevolent,
nonhuman shapeshifter.
Yes, but started out as a human.
Like, through ritual,
became this weird entity.
Wow.
So, it's like if we're gonna
investigate portals,
this is the spot.
Yes.
Usually, when we talk to people
that have experienced
what they would
consider a ghost,
it's always connected
to the afterlife,
but it asks the question,
"What if it's not?"
Yeah. What if it's
just something else
that completely --
that we just don't have
a grasp on yet?
Yes.
Alright.
Here we are.
This is the Strawberry River
Bed and Breakfast.
This is.
Ryan Burns.
- Hey, guys.
- Hi.
- How's it going?
- Good. Yourselves?
- Very well, very well.
So, my friend Ryan Burns
is a local expert in the history
and the happenings
of Skinwalker Ranch.
He ended up buying
the Strawberry River
Bed and Breakfast
to be close to the ranch,
and as things have progressed,
his place has become, like,
a hotbed of activity itself.
So, Ryan, what's been going on?
As soon as I decided
to renovate the place,
almost immediately,
it seems like activity
just started spiking.
Like what kind of stuff?
My mom showed up with a friend,
and they saw a full-body dark,
kind of shadow-ish man
walk around the corner
around here, and -- Here?
Yeah.
Just out in the outside.
Oh. And they were
like, "What the heck?"
And they popped right in
and saw that I was here.
And they were wondering
how I got here so quickly
and why I was dressed
differently, and I was like,
"I haven't gone out today,
you know.
I haven't gone outside."
So, I don't know what it was.
Have you always had activity
inside the inn
or is that a recent development?
No.
All the activity's
always been on the outside,
and I guess that's
kind of my issue,
is it's come inside now.
And do you think that's
from the renovations?
I do.
We got a family coming that's
been working on the house.
They could probably
tell you more about that.
And honestly, now that
the activity's on the inside
and I've spent all this money
getting it renovated,
I'm like
I just really need to get it
figured out
because, you know, it's a B&B.
I'm trying to rent it out
to people, and
- No one's gonna want to come.
- Nobody's gonna want to come.
Is it even safe?
I think Ryan's got a lot, you
know, that he is worried about.
The fact that things have gotten
so out of hand
in this very beautiful building
that he's spent so much time
and money renovating.
Oh, my God.
It's beautiful.
I can get down with this room.
So, anything happen in here
that you know of?
Yeah, there's been scratches
on the walls.
Wait. You actually heard
the scratches?
Yeah.
Yeah, scratches,
loud sounds, bumps.
And I've seen all kinds
of things
just right out this door.
Out the window or in this room?
Both. JACK: What kind of stuff?
Like UFO stuff
or like creatures?
All of the above.
A little bit of everything,
and that's the weird part of it,
is, like, you really
don't know what to expect.
Just when you think,
"I'll know what to do
if I see that again,"
you see something
totally different.
JACK: Have you seen
any more skinwalkers lately?
Actually, heard a story of
a wilderness guide here nearby
who got really involved
with this skinwalker stuff,
and, yeah, things went
really bad for him.
Like, what happened?
He ended up getting lost
in the wilderness.
He's missing?
Yeah, he just up and vanished.
So, we're kind of walking
into stuff
that might affect us
for the rest of our lives?
Absolutely.
Wow.
So, Ryan, do you live here?
You know, I used to stay here,
but it just became too much,
especially with all
the renovation, it's just
I don't stay here anymore.
I stay outside.
Because of the activity? Yeah, because
of the activity.
It just became something
all the time.
What was the threshold?
I think when everything
started coming inside,
and when it was no longer
even safe to be here
while renovation
was taking place.
But what do you mean "safe"?
Well, the family's coming here,
they're arriving soon.
They can tell you more about it.
Okay.
Can we talk to them?
The contractors? Absolutely.
That'd be great. Okay, great.
There's so much to do
in a very little amount of time,
so Jack and I
are gonna split up.
He's gonna go talk to Ryan.
I'm gonna sit down
with the contractors,
the family that was
involved here
and find out what
they've been experiencing.
And how are you guys
all related?
This is my mom and my stepdad
and my grandma.
Have you ever heard
the stories of weird activity?
A little bit here and there.
I hear different things
from different people,
but it's kind of hard
to believe.
Yeah.
And so, when did that
all change for you then?
When we started
remodeling in here.
What happened?
I come with my daughter-in-law
to fix the water,
and I came around
that side of the house,
and I felt like something
was looking at me,
and I just turned
around and looked,
and right here on the other side
on there was
I would think it was an alien.
It was kind of white, grayish,
big, sunken eyes
that were black.
And I just stood there.
I kind of froze.
I didn't dare look at it
because I was frozen with fear.
My knees felt like
they were gonna buckle.
Something just said to me,
"Just get out of here."
So, I started actually
walking before Bonnie did.
And then I hurried and went,
got in the car.
So, are you okay?
It's scary.
Yeah.
You know,
because I don't know
You know, I just feel funny.
Bonnie very much believes
that she saw
basically what we would consider
a "Gray,"
which are the gray aliens.
And she believes
that she saw this,
and she was so scared by it that
she had to leave the property.
♪♪
Alright, so, give me the lay
of the land right now.
Obviously, I can see
Strawberry River Inn
right there.
BURNS: Mm-hmm.
Where's Skinwalker Ranch
in relation to where we're at?
So, basically, we've got
Skinwalker Ranch
here to the east,
over these ridge lines.
Okay.
All these structures
here are mine.
Let's talk about some
of the things
that you have experienced
outside of your house.
Sure.
In this field here,
I've seen shadow figures,
towards the back
of the house here
where motion sensors
have gone off,
and I've looked back and just
kind of seen a shadow go by.
Up on the ridge here,
I saw what for all intents
and purposes looked like
a guy in a fur coat.
You saw, like, a hairy man?
Something hairy, yeah.
Upright on two legs?
Upright on two legs.
It had almost like
a reddish color
because it was so sunny.
It was a lot taller
than the average person.
How tall?
NBA range -- 7 foot.
Whether you want to call
that a Sasquatch,
others would call it
a skinwalker,
some people call it a Dogman.
I was just on my horse
and tried to catch up
and couldn't keep up.
That's slightly disturbing.
Wow, okay.
KATRINA:
T.J. and his family,
they've had so many
different experiences here,
and it seems like
the genesis of things
happening within the house
really started
with the renovating.
I heard some banging down there
in the garage,
so I walked down to the garage,
there was nothing there.
So, I turned, I was getting
nervous, come back up,
walked out that door
right there.
As I was walking out,
something told me,
"Get out" and slammed that door.
Aaaaaaah!
That door right there,
as I was walking out,
something told me, "Get out"
and slammed that door.
And you were here
all by yourself?
By myself.
What did the voice
sound like to you?
It was like a deep, angry voice.
Like an old lady.
Oh, like a female, though? Yeah.
Telling me, "Get out."
What did you think about that?
Scared the crap out of me.
I mean, I don't know
how to explain that.
I haven't been back here
since other than this day.
So, I was just down the street,
pretty close.
We got here,
and he was terrified.
What are these
paranormal experiences?
Is it a ghost, is it an alien,
is it this, is it that?
At the end of the day,
it doesn't matter
because these experiences
are still happening.
♪♪
All of this back here,
this is all
Native American land --
the Ute tribe.
Do you believe in the curse
between the Navajo
and the Ute Indians?
I absolutely do.
Are you scared,
are you freaked out
by the stuff
that goes on around here?
It's a little bit of a tap
on the shoulder, too,
like realize that there's more
to our reality
than you'd realize.
But people have literally died.
And there's no explanation
for them dying,
so it's absolutely dangerous.
There's more questions
than answers for sure.
JACK:
We're trying to figure out
what's going on here
at Ryan's house,
but this place is haunted
by aliens and cryptids
and Native American spirits
and ghosts.
It's just, like, too much stuff.
So I think we need
a little help.
- Hey!
- Hey, how's it going?
Good to see you.
Good. Thanks for coming.
Oh, you too.
You're welcome.
JACK: So, Ben Hansen is
a paranormal investigator.
He has a history of working
with the FBI, law enforcement.
I mean, he himself has had
his own unique experiences
at this property.
I was here with my family,
and I had run
a wireless camera --
thermal camera -- outside.
So, it was beaming the image
back to me, okay?
All of a sudden, a point
of light came up over the ridge,
and this object started
cruising over the mountain.
And so, I run outside,
but I can't see it,
and yet they're watching it
there on the thermal camera.
And this is what you see here.
Now, here's this object,
and as it gets closer,
you can see that there
are three points of light.
And to me, it looks
triangular shaped.
- Yeah.
- Huh.
It was completely silent.
And it only showed up
the heat signature in thermal.
- Mm.
- Mm.
And then a couple hours later,
I came in from the outside,
and my friend literally
sat up in the bed --
he'd been asleep
for like 45 minutes --
looked me in the eyes,
and he growled at me.
[ Deep voice ] "Get out.
What are you doing?"
[ Normal voice ]
I mean, I jumped back
and almost fell backwards
because, you know,
I wasn't expecting this.
Yeah.
And to this day, he doesn't
remember this happening.
He's saying that
he was possessed?
Yeah. I mean, I don't know
what else to say.
It wasn't
It wasn't him.
All these people keep hearing
this phrase "get out."
You know, there's a pattern
of this happening,
and it's been happening
within the last couple years.
So, why are they hearing that?
Is there something specific
about those people?
Do they have Native American
ties within their family
and does it go back
to the curse?
Because we're here,
if you go up this ridge,
everything from here back
is just all
Native American land.
There's nothing out there.
Which also seems to fit
the profile
that a lot of these things
coincide, right,
with the reservations
nearby.Yeah.
Yeah, it's weird
because the places
that have this
type of activity --
UFO ties, you know,
poltergeists --
it's always Native American ties
and anybody that might have
that blood within them.
My guess is whatever it is
wants to be known.
It wants you to know, like,
"I'm here,
and I don't want you here."
I'm in the room off the garage.
That's the one
with the hot tub, right?
Yeah.
Yeah, that's the room.
That's the room? That's the room.
Oh, God.
♪♪
JACK: Alright, let's turn
this bad boy on.
I want to experience this stuff.
I want to see it firsthand.
I want to see a skinwalker.
Okay, so these are trail cams.
They're used in hunting or,
you know,
just tracking wildlife.
And they're motion-activated,
and when something triggers it,
it'll take three shots
every second.
So, we're using these instead
of the normal cameras
because the battery life
is way longer.
Okay, I can see
the little IR light
is kind of on there.
So, this gives us three extra
fields of view,
where if something triggers it,
we're gonna be able to see it.
So, we have a lot of ground
to cover
with the investigation tonight.
Katrina's gonna focus
on the inside
and really kind of tap in
to the poltergeist/haunting
stuff that's been going on.
And Ben and I are gonna be
focusing more on the exterior.
- Hey, guys.
- What's up?
Okay, so, things just got
really interesting.
Yeah?
Yeah.
So, if we're talking about
maybe people
that have experiences
in the house
have Native American blood
Right.
Right.
The entire family
has Native American blood.
And it's not just Native
American blood.
What's really crazy is Mindy,
the mom, she's directly
related to this chief
who was in this area.
What's really crazy
is that he's her great,
great, great, great grandfather.
But why now?
Because I think they came back.
It's her direct descendent.
It's her blood. HANSEN: Wow.
I have a small percentage
of Native American blood,
but it's not Ute or Shoshone
or anything, so
Yeah. You got to think, they
were fighting over this land
for so long.
You know, any other tribe
would have been a threat.
So, if we're looking at it
through those lenses, to me,
that makes complete sense.
You're not welcome here.
You're an outsider.
You're somebody that threatens
their whole way of life.
Wow, that's
an interesting theory.
I mean, it's definitely
something to start on.
Yeah. Now, the cameras
that we have set up,
we got six cameras
in and around the house.
Camera 1 is my bedroom,
camera 2 is Katrina's bedroom,
3 is the kitchen
and hallways to back rooms,
the main living room
in the front.
This is outside, back patio
looking towards
the mountain range.
This is more or less
the angle that you had
where you saw the strange craft.
Mm-hmm.
And this is along the fence
looking back towards the house.
So, I mean, we've got
a lot of bases covered.
Yeah.
I say we maybe get the drone
ready and start there.
Great.
Cool.
And something just to think
about, guys, like,
this isn't just your typical
haunted location
where you might get pushed
or scratched.
So, just err on the side
of caution.
If you start to feel like,
"Hey, things are getting
too intense.
This is way over my head,"
like, call it out
'cause we don't want
to push this.
This isn't just your typical
haunted location
where you might
get pushed or scratched.
So, just err on the side
of caution.
If you start to feel like,
"Hey, things are getting
too intense.
This is way over my head,"
like, call it out.
♪♪
♪♪
Yeah, we're gonna launch
the drone, get a good idea
of what's normal out here,
see what livestock's around,
and just kind of give us
some intel.
Okay, here's the ranch house,
and there's you and me
and the crew.
White is hot, and anything
that shows up red
is gonna be the hottest of hot.
Okay.
Here's our cows.
Okay.
So, now we come over to this
side of the property.
Okay, there's the river.
It looks like it's partially
frozen over, doesn't it?
Yeah, it does.
KATRINA: I'm gonna start
an ITC session
'cause it seems like they've had
a lot of disembodied voices.
So, you would think
you'd be able to get something
as far as voice communication
to come through.
We have ITC technology,
and the belief is that spirits
can manipulate this
to essentially say a message
that they want to say.
I want to talk to whoever's been
coming into this house,
the voices that Mindy and T.J.
and Mike and Bonnie
have heard telling them
to "get out."
Something told me, "Get out"
and slammed that door.
Aaah!
[ Indistinct voices]
Who's been the person
telling everybody to get out?
[ Indistinct voices]
Where do I go to find you?
[ Indistinct voices]
Where do I go?
"Towards the mountain"?
[ Indistinct voices]
♪♪
Okay, so this is the field
right here.
♪♪
Look at that.
The horses, look. JACK: Oh, wow.
I'm not even close to him,
and he's like
Yeah, they're freaking out.
He's rearing up.
Look at that.
You hear the drone
or is there something else
spooking him?
I mean, you can hear it,
but it's not that loud.
Let's get this thing down
and cruise over there.
Okay.
♪♪
Way to go, Goose.
[ Indistinct voices]
Are you a skinwalker?
[ Indistinct voices]
Why are you bothering
the people in this house?
It's not their property?
♪♪
We were flying the drone around
and we weren't even
very close to the horses,
and they just started
going nuts.
So, we're gonna go see
if something spooked them
over there.
Maybe the skinwalkers
are walking.
You guys hear that?
Over here.
Yeah, that's kind of weird,
right?
[ Clicking tongue ]
[ Indistinct voices]
Can you tell me
what tribe you're from?
[ Indistinct voices]
You heard "Ute Indians"?
This is your property, isn't it?
The Utes.
Tell me where you're from
and what you want.
"Energy."
Do you want energy?
[ Indistinct voices]
Your camera just died?
Yeah, actually,
the whole thing --
Even the lens cap went on.
Yeah.
I heard that.
Need to know 100%, did you
just make a noise at all?
What did you hear?
When -- just now,
right before I came in?
I'm recording.
It sounded like, "Shh!"
You heard that?
Yeah.
Hey, guys, we just had a series
of weird events
happening in the house.
Alright. I mean, we're hearing
weird things out here,
strange noises --
yelps, and then we all
just heard a whisper.
- Whispers!
- Oh, yes. Yes!
Okay, so, we actually heard
the same things inside.
Hannah heard it through her IFB,
so she heard
very heavy breathing.
To me, it sounded like
a kind of sighing
or something along those lines.
Austin had the exact
same thing through the IFB,
and so did Ben.
That's weird.
Yep.
Just so people know at home,
an IFB is how
we monitor your audio.
Right -- through
our microphones.
So we're listening
to your microphone.
Mm-hmm.
So the only way that
somebody could hear
something on an IFB
is if it's happening
to your microphone.
Right 'cause that definitely
wasn't me.
Yeah.
And the fact that we're having
shared experiences
in two separate spaces --
it's like, almost, something's
coming in here trying to see us,
then it goes out there
trying to see them,
and it's choosing the same way
to communicate --
it's pretty mind-blowing.
Are you scared?
Yeah. I didn't feel scared,
and now that I know
that there are things
happening like that,
I'm scared.
KATRINA: The fact that we're
having shared experiences
in two separate spaces
is pretty mindblowing.
HANNAH: Yeah. I didn't feel
scared, and now that I know
that there are things
happening like that,
I'm scared.
♪♪
For whatever reason,
it seemed like we had this,
like, short burst of energy
coming through,
seemed like we had some activity
with voice communication
from the Utes.
So, I think my next step
should be to call Mindy
and see if I can
get her in here.
Mindy, hey.
Come on in.
One of her relatives
was from the Utes,
and a lot of Utes lost their
lives battling for this land.
Maybe because of her lineage,
they want to talk to her.
Come on in.
I want to explain to you
why I wanted
to bring you in here tonight.
KATRINA: I'm wondering if the
fact that you and your family
have an emotional tie
to the Utes,
if that's why
the activity started here.
So I kind of want to see
if anything changes
in the house with you here.
So, this is a geoport.
It's used a lot
in paranormal research.
Essentially, you'll hear
a lot of mumbled voices
come through.
None of it should make sense.
Whenever you hear something
that makes sense,
like a word or a sentence,
we believe that is something
or someone
communicating with you.
Essentially, it's your
telephone to the dead.
[ Indistinct voices]
Okay.
I have Mindy here.
Is Mindy in danger?
[ Indistinct voices]
Did it say my name?
Why are you here in this house?
Why are you choosing me
and my family?
[ Indistinct voices]
Why do you want me to get out?
Wait, what?
It sounds like her grandpa.
So you're hearing your
grandfather's voice
come through?
[ Sighs ]
You okay?
Is that possible?
Does Mindy have to leave?
Yes.
It said, "Yes."
Why does she have to leave?
Are you trying to protect her
from something?
What are you protecting
Mindy from?
[ Indistinct voices]
Did it say, "Attack"?
So, that was really interesting
because I initially thought,
"Oh, it's got to be, you know,
maybe the spirits of the Utes
trying to get them
off of the land."
Thank you so much for coming.
I know it's short notice, too.
I didn't really consider
that maybe it could be
her own family
trying to protect her.
Alright, well,
I'll keep you posted
if anything else happens, okay?
Okay. Thank you. Thanks, Mindy.
We are, like, 20 minutes
from Skinwalker Ranch.
We're in the Uinta Basin.
This place is known
for paranormal activity,
and I wonder
if it's just the fact
that you have somebody
like Mindy and her family
who have these deep,
emotional ties to this land.
Maybe that allowed things
to start coming through.
♪♪
JACK:
The Uinta Basin seems like
one of the few places
in the world
where if you actually just stop
and look up at the sky,
you'll see something strange.
We've been told numerous reports
of people
seeing UFOs and cryptids,
you know,
skinwalkers and aliens,
around Ryan's house,
around this property.
So we've mounted a night-vision
monocle onto an iPhone
so we can record what we're
seeing, and it's kind of cool.
HANSEN: These scopes open up
the whole world.
I just got a cool shooting star.
Could be it coming
into the atmosphere.
Okay, to the right,
I got something else.
Bring your camera up
Yeah.
right where I'm pointing.
Okay.
Okay, there's three
little stars.
There's a single flashed light.
It's just every --
every so often.
It should go again.
Yep.
There it is. What the is that?
Okay, I need a watch.
I need a watch.
Hold on here.
Do you see it?
No, no, I need seconds. Just saw it.
2, 3, 4, 5, 6,

This area quite possibly could
be an actual, like, stargate.
I don't know.
Let's try this.
Let me grab my laser. Okay.
Okay, so, some people
believe you signal it,
it might respond.
So if we take a laser pointer,
and I think we both agree
this is not an aircraft,
so I'm not gonna be
pointing it at a plane.
Yeah.
I'm going to do a series of --

I love this clip.
If this, in fact, is a spirit,

Okay. Do you want
to send them in?
You know, we had
a great investigation here.
We collected some really
awesome, compelling evidence.
How's it going, gang?
KATRINA: We did
what we came here to do,
which was to get a good
understanding
of the type of activity
Ryan's experienced
for, you know,
the last 12 years.
And here's the proof
to back it up.
We got some pretty interesting
bits of evidence last night.
Alright, this is
the mountain out front.
I want you to watch
this ridgeline right here.
See that light? BURNS: Mm-hmm.
Boom.
And then watch --
oh, see, third time?
Mm-hmm.
Right there
Yeah.
there
HANSEN: And you see how it goes
along the ridgeline.
You could walk up there,
but there's no driving.
No.
And then, it can't be
a human on foot
because this is the 22nd clip.
It's rough terrain. Yeah, it's
They're moving really fast.really fast.
Yeah, we've seen that ridge
light up before like --
Have you? Yeah,
when there's no reason.
I mean, it just lights up
like a pulse, almost.
And you've never been able
to identify what would cause it?
No.And what's interesting, too,
is I was actually doing
an ITC session, asking,
"Where should we go
to communicate with you?
Where do I find you?"
And we heard, at one point,
"the mountain" come through.
Where do I go to find you?
That's awesome.
That's awesome.
That's where I've experienced
stuff, too,
is there and in the kitchen.
So, we have another device
that uses an infrared
kind of a grid that it projects.
It's basically trained
to map things
that have mass
in the shape of a human body.
That's Katrina,
and it's mapped her out.
Here's the banister post.
There's another figure
right next to her,
and it looks like
it's trying to climb the post.
Whoa!
What is that?
You can clearly see Katrina.
Katrina's moving.
Yeah, that's Katrina.
It's like it's crawling
up the pole.
Whoa.
I feel like the family's, like,
totally shell-shocked
from the stuff
that they experienced here.
They just seem really just,
like, freaked out.
That is so weird.
It's like it's reaching out
towards her.
That's unreal.
Whatever was there,
I think it's the same thing
that I experienced
several years ago.
It's still in this room.
KATRINA: So, what we're seeing
is a pattern,
and that's kind of what we look
for in the paranormal.
People that experience things
within this house
have Native American blood.
And so one of the things
we tried last night
was bringing in Mindy.
What's interesting is,
for the most part,
it was pretty quiet
until we had Mindy come in.
And when she came in here,
we started hearing her name.
Did it say my name?
So it seemed to have this level
of protection for her,
and we obviously know,
going through
the history of her family,
that there is a connection
here for her, for you.
You have Native American blood
in you.
Ben has Native
American blood in him.
You guys are all hearing
the same message,
experiencing the same
kind of paranormal activity.
That kind of makes sense
with the theory
that we're running with.
I feel like it is something
that, you know --
that wants to make peace,
but in the long run,
maybe they just want to be here
and just left alone.
Mm-hmm.
And then what do you think,
Ryan, after hearing all of this?
I think it's fascinating. Yeah?
All the evidence you guys
got is just amazing.
It's not so random, as far as
the stuff going on in here.
It's just seeped
into the soil here
because of the land
that this house sits on,
which we would classify
as a portal.
I think there's a couple
locations on this Earth
we just don't quite understand,
whether it's the
Great Pyramids or Stonehenge.
I would feel very confident in
adding Uinta Basin to that list.
It's not just Skinwalker Ranch.
It's this whole region.
Although I've just furthered
my experiences here,
I don't think
I've answered anything.
Awesome, guys.
Thank you so much.
- Yeah. Thank you guys.
- Thank you.
Alright, Katrina.
We're loaded up.
We're loaded up, finally
finished our investigation
at Strawberry River Inn.
Quite possibly one
of the most active
just overall locations
I've ever been.
Me, too.
And I think we collected
a lot of evidence,
did a lot of research,
but I don't think we're done.
No. I don't think
we're done here at all,
and I want to come back.
I think we still have a lot
of things
that need to be uncovered.
I agree.
Let's hit the road.
Boom!

directly in the bathroom.

to open this door.

KATRINA: So, Jack and I
are on our way
to Strawberry River
Bed and Breakfast right now.
So, Strawberry River Inn
is in the Uinta Basin,
and the property
adjacent to the inn,
which is Skinwalker Ranch.
JACK: Yeah.
And skinwalker is infamous
for paranormal activity.
It's like the melting pot
for all things paranormal.
Yeah.
So, we're here because
your friend asked us
to come out, right?
Yes.
Ryan Burns.
Recently, he has been having
some unique activity
at his bed-and-breakfast
that he owns
from ghosts and
poltergeist activity
to possession.
And that's what I find
so interesting.
I mean, obviously Skinwalker
Ranch is what made this area,
I guess, kind of infamous
for paranormal activity
Yeah.
so, kind of makes sense
that Ryan's bed-and-breakfast
is having activity as well.
Yeah.
It wouldn't just be confined
to one property
if it's the whole area.
Yes. People claim
to see cryptids.
People claim to see
aliens and
Anything you think of --
UFOs, cryptos,
ghosts, demonic activity --
people have experienced here.
Cattle mutilations, like
Right.
And when we start going back
through accounts of people
having this type of experiences,
it's the whole county.
It is.
And it's been that way
for a very, very long time.
I mean, there is petroglyphs
from Native Americans
on big rock cliffs around here,
and they've got
weird drawn.
Yeah.
Historically speaking,
the Ute Indians and the Navajos
had years of warring factions.
So, the legend goes that
this land was cursed,
and they began to allegedly
torment each other
by sending skinwalkers.
They were like
evil medicine men.
Cheers.
To go and, like,
harass the tribes,
and they would
make people get sick,
and they would do
all sorts of stuff,
I mean, take on the form
of any animal.
Like a malevolent,
nonhuman shapeshifter.
Yes, but started out as a human.
Like, through ritual,
became this weird entity.
Wow.
So, it's like if we're gonna
investigate portals,
this is the spot.
Yes.
Usually, when we talk to people
that have experienced
what they would
consider a ghost,
it's always connected
to the afterlife,
but it asks the question,
"What if it's not?"
Yeah. What if it's
just something else
that completely --
that we just don't have
a grasp on yet?
Yes.
Alright.
Here we are.
This is the Strawberry River
Bed and Breakfast.
This is.
Ryan Burns.
- Hey, guys.
- Hi.
- How's it going?
- Good. Yourselves?
- Very well, very well.
So, my friend Ryan Burns
is a local expert in the history
and the happenings
of Skinwalker Ranch.
He ended up buying
the Strawberry River
Bed and Breakfast
to be close to the ranch,
and as things have progressed,
his place has become, like,
a hotbed of activity itself.
So, Ryan, what's been going on?
As soon as I decided
to renovate the place,
almost immediately,
it seems like activity
just started spiking.
Like what kind of stuff?
My mom showed up with a friend,
and they saw a full-body dark,
kind of shadow-ish man
walk around the corner
around here, and -- Here?
Yeah.
Just out in the outside.
Oh. And they were
like, "What the heck?"
And they popped right in
and saw that I was here.
And they were wondering
how I got here so quickly
and why I was dressed
differently, and I was like,
"I haven't gone out today,
you know.
I haven't gone outside."
So, I don't know what it was.
Have you always had activity
inside the inn
or is that a recent development?
No.
All the activity's
always been on the outside,
and I guess that's
kind of my issue,
is it's come inside now.
And do you think that's
from the renovations?
I do.
We got a family coming that's
been working on the house.
They could probably
tell you more about that.
And honestly, now that
the activity's on the inside
and I've spent all this money
getting it renovated,
I'm like
I just really need to get it
figured out
because, you know, it's a B&B.
I'm trying to rent it out
to people, and
- No one's gonna want to come.
- Nobody's gonna want to come.
Is it even safe?
I think Ryan's got a lot, you
know, that he is worried about.
The fact that things have gotten
so out of hand
in this very beautiful building
that he's spent so much time
and money renovating.
Oh, my God.
It's beautiful.
I can get down with this room.
So, anything happen in here
that you know of?
Yeah, there's been scratches
on the walls.
Wait. You actually heard
the scratches?
Yeah.
Yeah, scratches,
loud sounds, bumps.
And I've seen all kinds
of things
just right out this door.
Out the window or in this room?
Both. JACK: What kind of stuff?
Like UFO stuff
or like creatures?
All of the above.
A little bit of everything,
and that's the weird part of it,
is, like, you really
don't know what to expect.
Just when you think,
"I'll know what to do
if I see that again,"
you see something
totally different.
JACK: Have you seen
any more skinwalkers lately?
Actually, heard a story of
a wilderness guide here nearby
who got really involved
with this skinwalker stuff,
and, yeah, things went
really bad for him.
Like, what happened?
He ended up getting lost
in the wilderness.
He's missing?
Yeah, he just up and vanished.
So, we're kind of walking
into stuff
that might affect us
for the rest of our lives?
Absolutely.
Wow.
So, Ryan, do you live here?
You know, I used to stay here,
but it just became too much,
especially with all
the renovation, it's just
I don't stay here anymore.
I stay outside.
Because of the activity? Yeah, because
of the activity.
It just became something
all the time.
What was the threshold?
I think when everything
started coming inside,
and when it was no longer
even safe to be here
while renovation
was taking place.
But what do you mean "safe"?
Well, the family's coming here,
they're arriving soon.
They can tell you more about it.
Okay.
Can we talk to them?
The contractors? Absolutely.
That'd be great. Okay, great.
There's so much to do
in a very little amount of time,
so Jack and I
are gonna split up.
He's gonna go talk to Ryan.
I'm gonna sit down
with the contractors,
the family that was
involved here
and find out what
they've been experiencing.
And how are you guys
all related?
This is my mom and my stepdad
and my grandma.
Have you ever heard
the stories of weird activity?
A little bit here and there.
I hear different things
from different people,
but it's kind of hard
to believe.
Yeah.
And so, when did that
all change for you then?
When we started
remodeling in here.
What happened?
I come with my daughter-in-law
to fix the water,
and I came around
that side of the house,
and I felt like something
was looking at me,
and I just turned
around and looked,
and right here on the other side
on there was
I would think it was an alien.
It was kind of white, grayish,
big, sunken eyes
that were black.
And I just stood there.
I kind of froze.
I didn't dare look at it
because I was frozen with fear.
My knees felt like
they were gonna buckle.
Something just said to me,
"Just get out of here."
So, I started actually
walking before Bonnie did.
And then I hurried and went,
got in the car.
So, are you okay?
It's scary.
Yeah.
You know,
because I don't know
You know, I just feel funny.
Bonnie very much believes
that she saw
basically what we would consider
a "Gray,"
which are the gray aliens.
And she believes
that she saw this,
and she was so scared by it that
she had to leave the property.

Alright, so, give me the lay
of the land right now.
Obviously, I can see
Strawberry River Inn
right there.
BURNS: Mm-hmm.
Where's Skinwalker Ranch
in relation to where we're at?
So, basically, we've got
Skinwalker Ranch
here to the east,
over these ridge lines.
Okay.
All these structures
here are mine.
Let's talk about some
of the things
that you have experienced
outside of your house.
Sure.
In this field here,
I've seen shadow figures,
towards the back
of the house here
where motion sensors
have gone off,
and I've looked back and just
kind of seen a shadow go by.
Up on the ridge here,
I saw what for all intents
and purposes looked like
a guy in a fur coat.
You saw, like, a hairy man?
Something hairy, yeah.
Upright on two legs?
Upright on two legs.
It had almost like
a reddish color
because it was so sunny.
It was a lot taller
than the average person.
How tall?
NBA range -- 7 foot.
Whether you want to call
that a Sasquatch,
others would call it
a skinwalker,
some people call it a Dogman.
I was just on my horse
and tried to catch up
and couldn't keep up.
That's slightly disturbing.
Wow, okay.
KATRINA:
T.J. and his family,
they've had so many
different experiences here,
and it seems like
the genesis of things
happening within the house
really started
with the renovating.
I heard some banging down there
in the garage,
so I walked down to the garage,
there was nothing there.
So, I turned, I was getting
nervous, come back up,
walked out that door
right there.
As I was walking out,
something told me,
"Get out" and slammed that door.
Aaaaaaah!
That door right there,
as I was walking out,
something told me, "Get out"
and slammed that door.
And you were here
all by yourself?
By myself.
What did the voice
sound like to you?
It was like a deep, angry voice.
Like an old lady.
Oh, like a female, though? Yeah.
Telling me, "Get out."
What did you think about that?
Scared the crap out of me.
I mean, I don't know
how to explain that.
I haven't been back here
since other than this day.
So, I was just down the street,
pretty close.
We got here,
and he was terrified.
What are these
paranormal experiences?
Is it a ghost, is it an alien,
is it this, is it that?
At the end of the day,
it doesn't matter
because these experiences
are still happening.
♪♪
All of this back here,
this is all
Native American land --
the Ute tribe.
Do you believe in the curse
between the Navajo
and the Ute Indians?
I absolutely do.
Are you scared,
are you freaked out
by the stuff
that goes on around here?
It's a little bit of a tap
on the shoulder, too,
like realize that there's more
to our reality
than you'd realize.
But people have literally died.
And there's no explanation
for them dying,
so it's absolutely dangerous.
There's more questions
than answers for sure.
JACK:
We're trying to figure out
what's going on here
at Ryan's house,
but this place is haunted
by aliens and cryptids
and Native American spirits
and ghosts.
It's just, like, too much stuff.
So I think we need
a little help.
- Hey!
- Hey, how's it going?
Good to see you.
Good. Thanks for coming.
Oh, you too.
You're welcome.
JACK: So, Ben Hansen is
a paranormal investigator.
He has a history of working
with the FBI, law enforcement.
I mean, he himself has had
his own unique experiences
at this property.
I was here with my family,
and I had run
a wireless camera --
thermal camera -- outside.
So, it was beaming the image
back to me, okay?
All of a sudden, a point
of light came up over the ridge,
and this object started
cruising over the mountain.
And so, I run outside,
but I can't see it,
and yet they're watching it
there on the thermal camera.
And this is what you see here.
Now, here's this object,
and as it gets closer,
you can see that there
are three points of light.
And to me, it looks
triangular shaped.
- Yeah.
- Huh.
It was completely silent.
And it only showed up
the heat signature in thermal.
- Mm.
- Mm.
And then a couple hours later,
I came in from the outside,
and my friend literally
sat up in the bed --
he'd been asleep
for like 45 minutes --
looked me in the eyes,
and he growled at me.

because, you know,
I wasn't expecting this.
Yeah.
And to this day, he doesn't
remember this happening.
He's saying that
he was possessed?
Yeah. I mean, I don't know
what else to say.
It wasn't
It wasn't him.
All these people keep hearing
this phrase "get out."
You know, there's a pattern
of this happening,
and it's been happening
within the last couple years.
So, why are they hearing that?
Is there something specific
about those people?
Do they have Native American
ties within their family
and does it go back
to the curse?
Because we're here,
if you go up this ridge,
everything from here back
is just all
Native American land.
There's nothing out there.
Which also seems to fit
the profile
that a lot of these things
coincide, right,
with the reservations
nearby.Yeah.
Yeah, it's weird
because the places
that have this
type of activity --
UFO ties, you know,
poltergeists --
it's always Native American ties
and anybody that might have
that blood within them.
My guess is whatever it is
wants to be known.
It wants you to know, like,
"I'm here,
and I don't want you here."
I'm in the room off the garage.
That's the one
with the hot tub, right?
Yeah.
Yeah, that's the room.
That's the room? That's the room.
Oh, God.

JACK: Alright, let's turn
this bad boy on.
I want to experience this stuff.
I want to see it firsthand.
I want to see a skinwalker.
Okay, so these are trail cams.
They're used in hunting or,
you know,
just tracking wildlife.
And they're motion-activated,
and when something triggers it,
it'll take three shots
every second.
So, we're using these instead
of the normal cameras
because the battery life
is way longer.
Okay, I can see
the little IR light
is kind of on there.
So, this gives us three extra
fields of view,
where if something triggers it,
we're gonna be able to see it.
So, we have a lot of ground
to cover
with the investigation tonight.
Katrina's gonna focus
on the inside
and really kind of tap in
to the poltergeist/haunting
stuff that's been going on.
And Ben and I are gonna be
focusing more on the exterior.
- Hey, guys.
- What's up?
Okay, so, things just got
really interesting.
Yeah?
Yeah.
So, if we're talking about
maybe people
that have experiences
in the house
have Native American blood
Right.
Right.
The entire family
has Native American blood.
And it's not just Native
American blood.
What's really crazy is Mindy,
the mom, she's directly
related to this chief
who was in this area.
What's really crazy
is that he's her great,
great, great, great grandfather.
But why now?
Because I think they came back.
It's her direct descendent.
It's her blood. HANSEN: Wow.
I have a small percentage
of Native American blood,
but it's not Ute or Shoshone
or anything, so
Yeah. You got to think, they
were fighting over this land
for so long.
You know, any other tribe
would have been a threat.
So, if we're looking at it
through those lenses, to me,
that makes complete sense.
You're not welcome here.
You're an outsider.
You're somebody that threatens
their whole way of life.
Wow, that's
an interesting theory.
I mean, it's definitely
something to start on.
Yeah. Now, the cameras
that we have set up,
we got six cameras
in and around the house.
Camera 1 is my bedroom,
camera 2 is Katrina's bedroom,
3 is the kitchen
and hallways to back rooms,
the main living room
in the front.
This is outside, back patio
looking towards
the mountain range.
This is more or less
the angle that you had
where you saw the strange craft.
Mm-hmm.
And this is along the fence
looking back towards the house.
So, I mean, we've got
a lot of bases covered.
Yeah.
I say we maybe get the drone
ready and start there.
Great.
Cool.
And something just to think
about, guys, like,
this isn't just your typical
haunted location
where you might get pushed
or scratched.
So, just err on the side
of caution.
If you start to feel like,
"Hey, things are getting
too intense.
This is way over my head,"
like, call it out
'cause we don't want
to push this.
This isn't just your typical

Yeah, it does.
KATRINA: I'm gonna start
an ITC session
'cause it seems like they've had
a lot of disembodied voices.
So, you would think
you'd be able to get something
as far as voice communication
to come through.
We have ITC technology,
and the belief is that spirits
can manipulate this
to essentially say a message
that they want to say.
I want to talk to whoever's been
coming into this house,
the voices that Mindy and T.J.
and Mike and Bonnie
have heard telling them

I heard that.
Need to know 100%, did you
just make a noise at all?
What did you hear?
When -- just now,
right before I came in?
I'm recording.
It sounded like, "Shh!"
You heard that?
Yeah.
Hey, guys, we just had a series
of weird events
happening in the house.
Alright. I mean, we're hearing
weird things out here,
strange noises --
yelps, and then we all
just heard a whisper.
- Whispers!
- Oh, yes. Yes!
Okay, so, we actually heard
the same things inside.
Hannah heard it through her IFB,
so she heard
very heavy breathing.
To me, it sounded like
a kind of sighing
or something along those lines.
Austin had the exact
same thing through the IFB,
and so did Ben.
That's weird.
Yep.
Just so people know at home,
an IFB is how
we monitor your audio.
Right -- through
our microphones.
So we're listening
to your microphone.
Mm-hmm.
So the only way that
somebody could hear
something on an IFB
is if it's happening
to your microphone.
Right 'cause that definitely
wasn't me.
Yeah.
And the fact that we're having
shared experiences
in two separate spaces --
it's like, almost, something's
coming in here trying to see us,
then it goes out there
trying to see them,
and it's choosing the same way
to communicate --
it's pretty mind-blowing.
Are you scared?
Yeah. I didn't feel scared,
and now that I know
that there are things
happening like that,
I'm scared.
KATRINA: The fact that we're

For whatever reason,
it seemed like we had this,
like, short burst of energy
coming through,
seemed like we had some activity
with voice communication
from the Utes.
So, I think my next step
should be to call Mindy
and see if I can
get her in here.
Mindy, hey.
Come on in.
One of her relatives
was from the Utes,
and a lot of Utes lost their
lives battling for this land.
Maybe because of her lineage,
they want to talk to her.
Come on in.
I want to explain to you
why I wanted
to bring you in here tonight.
KATRINA: I'm wondering if the
fact that you and your family
have an emotional tie
to the Utes,
if that's why
the activity started here.
So I kind of want to see
if anything changes
in the house with you here.
So, this is a geoport.
It's used a lot
in paranormal research.
Essentially, you'll hear
a lot of mumbled voices
come through.
None of it should make sense.
Whenever you hear something
that makes sense,
like a word or a sentence,
we believe that is something
or someone
communicating with you.
Essentially, it's your
telephone to the dead.
[ Indistinct voices]
Okay.
I have Mindy here.
Is Mindy in danger?

Did it say my name?
Why are you here in this house?
Why are you choosing me
and my family?
[ Indistinct voices]
Why do you want me to get out?
Wait, what?
It sounds like her grandpa.
So you're hearing your
grandfather's voice
come through?
[ Sighs ]
You okay?
Is that possible?
Does Mindy have to leave?
Yes.
It said, "Yes."
Why does she have to leave?
Are you trying to protect her
from something?
What are you protecting
Mindy from?
[ Indistinct voices]
Did it say, "Attack"?
So, that was really interesting
because I initially thought,
"Oh, it's got to be, you know,
maybe the spirits of the Utes
trying to get them
off of the land."
Thank you so much for coming.
I know it's short notice, too.
I didn't really consider
that maybe it could be
her own family
trying to protect her.
Alright, well,
I'll keep you posted
if anything else happens, okay?
Okay. Thank you. Thanks, Mindy.
We are, like, 20 minutes
from Skinwalker Ranch.
We're in the Uinta Basin.
This place is known
for paranormal activity,
and I wonder
if it's just the fact
that you have somebody
like Mindy and her family
who have these deep,
emotional ties to this land.
Maybe that allowed things
to start coming through.
♪♪
JACK:
The Uinta Basin seems like
one of the few places
in the world
where if you actually just stop
and look up at the sky,
you'll see something strange.
We've been told numerous reports
of people
seeing UFOs and cryptids,
you know,
skinwalkers and aliens,
around Ryan's house,
around this property.
So we've mounted a night-vision
monocle onto an iPhone
so we can record what we're
seeing, and it's kind of cool.

the whole world.

KATRINA: We did
what we came here to do,
which was to get a good
understanding
of the type of activity
Ryan's experienced
for, you know,
the last 12 years.
And here's the proof
to back it up.
We got some pretty interesting
bits of evidence last night.
Alright, this is
the mountain out front.
I want you to watch
this ridgeline right here.
See that light? BURNS: Mm-hmm.

to identify what would cause it?
No.And what's interesting, too,
is I was actually doing
an ITC session, asking,
"Where should we go
to communicate with you?
Where do I find you?"
And we heard, at one point,
"the mountain" come through.
Where do I go to find you?
That's awesome.
That's awesome.
That's where I've experienced
stuff, too,
is there and in the kitchen.
So, we have another device
that uses an infrared
kind of a grid that it projects.
It's basically trained
to map things
that have mass
in the shape of a human body.
That's Katrina,

Here's the banister post.

it's trying to climb the post.

that they experienced here.

like, freaked out.

towards her.
That's unreal.
Whatever was there,
I think it's the same thing
that I experienced
several years ago.
It's still in this room.
KATRINA: So, what we're seeing
is a pattern,
and that's kind of what we look
for in the paranormal.
People that experience things
within this house
have Native American blood.
And so one of the things
we tried last night
was bringing in Mindy.
What's interesting is,
for the most part,
it was pretty quiet
until we had Mindy come in.
And when she came in here,
we started hearing her name.
Did it say my name?
So it seemed to have this level
of protection for her,
and we obviously know,
going through
the history of her family,
that there is a connection
here for her, for you.
You have Native American blood
in you.
Ben has Native
American blood in him.
You guys are all hearing
the same message,
experiencing the same
kind of paranormal activity.
That kind of makes sense
with the theory
that we're running with.
I feel like it is something
that, you know --
that wants to make peace,
but in the long run,
maybe they just want to be here
and just left alone.
Mm-hmm.
And then what do you think,
Ryan, after hearing all of this?
I think it's fascinating. Yeah?
All the evidence you guys
got is just amazing.
It's not so random, as far as
the stuff going on in here.
It's just seeped
into the soil here
because of the land
that this house sits on,
which we would classify
as a portal.
I think there's a couple
locations on this Earth
we just don't quite understand,
whether it's the
Great Pyramids or Stonehenge.
I would feel very confident in
adding Uinta Basin to that list.
It's not just Skinwalker Ranch.
It's this whole region.
Although I've just furthered
my experiences here,
I don't think
I've answered anything.
Awesome, guys.
Thank you so much.
- Yeah. Thank you guys.
- Thank you.
Alright, Katrina.
We're loaded up.
We're loaded up, finally
finished our investigation
at Strawberry River Inn.
Quite possibly one
of the most active
just overall locations
I've ever been.

And I think we collected
a lot of evidence,
did a lot of research,
but I don't think we're done.
No. I don't think
we're done here at all,
and I want to come back.
I think we still have a lot
of things
that need to be uncovered.
I agree.
Let's hit the road.
