BEMIS: I'm fascinated with the paranormal, the thrill of it, the excitement.
There was this prison.
I hear that it's haunted.
When you walk into the building, you know you're being watched.
You can feel it.
[ LOW GROWLING .]
I know there's a chance of, when you leave haunted locations, spirits, entities can follow you.
That's when things got really bad.
[ SCREAMING .]
It was one of the scariest things I'd ever seen.
You know, if you're going out looking for something, you know, you just might find it, and it might not be exactly what you want to find.
[ SCREAMS .]
My name is Amy Bemis.
I am from Cincinnati, Ohio.
This is a story I have kept to myself.
Hey, Jake.
I've talked about it with my husband and a friend, [VOICE BREAKING.]
And that's it.
It's just too hard to talk about.
Sure I can't tempt you? No way.
[ BIRDS CHIRPING .]
I've always been fascinated with the paranormal since I was very young.
I wanted to go to some notoriously haunted locations close to where I live.
There was this prison, you know, not far north of me, just outside of Columbus.
You know, I hear that it's haunted, and, you know, people have some very interesting experiences.
So, at the end of May of 2016, I was able to go up for a ghost-hunting event.
I traveled by myself.
Driving up to the place, I am so excited to finally be here after years of waiting to finally get there.
[ BIRDS CHIRPING .]
[ WIND RUSHING .]
I can't imagine how long it took to actually build this building.
It's humongous.
It goes on and on.
Like, the pictures don't do it justice.
It's a rather large, menacing building.
I didn't know anybody there.
This is gonna be so much fun.
First time? When you walk into the building, immediately You feel eyes looking on you.
You feel uncomfortable.
[ INDISTINCT WHISPERING .]
Hey, stick with me.
You'll be fine.
There was people kind of floating throughout different areas of the prison that night.
When you start to head to the cells, paint is chipping off.
Like I said, it's a very musty smell.
Hey, check this out.
You coming? It's gonna be fun, remember? Going down into the basement, or the hole, as it's known, you know you're being watched.
You can feel it.
[ DOOR CREAKING LOUDLY .]
[ MAN SCREAMS .]
BEMIS: I believe it was 1930.
There was a large fire, and I believe it was the largest prison fire in history.
Over 300 people died in that fire, so I know, right where I'm standing, there was a horrible tragedy.
Standing with my back against the wall, looking up at all the different levels on the cell block When you look up, you just You feel like there's people on all the different levels just looking down on you, like there's dozens of people watching you.
[ ELECTRICITY CRACKLING .]
[ ECHOING .]
Hey, slow down a bit.
I was alone.
There was nobody around me with flashlights.
I felt very uncomfortable, for the first time, in the prison.
In the pitch dark, your feelings turn from excitement to fear.
The farther you get into the building, I mean, it changes.
You're constantly, you know, looking around and wondering if you're gonna walk around a corner, if something's gonna be standing there that's not supposed to be there.
[ METAL CLATTERS .]
BEMIS: The energy in the air It changes.
It becomes very thick, very electric, like a static charge is all around you, like you can feel that it's coming, and that's when your emotions kind of change, and you start to get that fight-or-flight instinct.
[ AIR RUSHES .]
[ LOW CREAKING .]
I keep telling myself to stay calm, to stay calm until there's a reason to not be calm.
[ METAL SCRAPING .]
And I'm looking, and I'm seeing In the cell, I'm seeing a shadow, and I don't see any features.
It's just a dark shape of a man.
Are my eyes playing tricks on me, you know, 'cause it's dark? I was watching it with my own eyes.
I couldn't think of a logical reason for what I was seeing.
[ CLICKS .]
And I went to snap a picture, and the flash did not go off, so I was, like, "Okay, I don't know if I got anything or not.
" [SNARLING.]
Open! [ DOOR CREAKING .]
[ DOOR THUDS .]
Knowing the history inside the prison with the fire, I mean, I have no doubt what I was seeing was some sort of spirit or entity, you know, whatever you want to call it.
[ SIGHS .]
[ BIRDS CHIRPING .]
[ SIGHS .]
Luckily, whatever was in there somehow showed up on the picture I took on my phone.
[ BIRDS CHIRPING .]
[ BIRDS CHIRPING .]
It was nice to get out of it and to drive away and to know that I was getting away from it.
I thought that was it.
It wasn't.
[ BIRDS CHIRPING .]
Hey, boy.
[ BARKS .]
Come on.
[ BARKS .]
Come on! Jake, come on.
Come on, boy.
[ BARKS .]
Come on.
[ BARKS .]
You know, I'm thinking back on it, and now that I've had time to kind of process what happened, it's a bit of a mixture of feelings.
It's excitement, you know? I had this amazing experience that I'll never forget, you know? But it was a little bit scary.
[ WHINING .]
So I get home, and I'm telling my husband, you know, about my experience.
He's a total skeptic, you know? He tried to kind of find a logical explanation for it, you know? And when I showed him the picture I had gotten from the cell in the west cell block, he was a little bit in awe of it.
You know, he couldn't find an explanation for it, you know? He was asking me, "Well, was there somebody with you", you know, that was standing inside the cell?" I'm like, "No, I was by myself.
There was nobody in there.
" There was nobody around me at all.

Late that Sunday night, I had stepped outside on my front porch.
[ CREATURE GROWLING .]
[ INSECTS CHIRPING .]
[ CHIRPING CONTINUES .]
[ WHINING .]
I was out there about a minute or so, and I heard my dog on the other side of the door just whining, and my dog is 11 years old.
That's not his behavior, and I was like, "Okay, that's a little weird.
" [ WHINING .]
[ WHINING .]
Hey, Jake.
What's up, buddy? [ BARKS .]

[ RATTLING .]
MALE VOICE: Kill yourself.
BEMIS: About a week after the incident, my husband woke up by something A manly, dark, raspy voice whispering in his ear, "Kill yourself.

[ WHINES .]
Geez, dog.
What the hell? [ WHINING .]
BEMIS: My dog was sitting in the doorway.
[ WHINING CONTINUES .]
Jake is sitting at our bedroom door and would not cross the threshold.
He didn't know what that was about, you know? He thought it was a little bit weird and, you know, he was worried.
[ SIGHING .]
[ BIRDS CHIRPING .]
I'm fascinated with the paranormal and possibly finding answers to things we don't know and questions that have been asked for hundreds and thousands of years.
[ BIRD CAWS .]
[ BIRDS CHIRPING .]
So I started to think about it, and, you know, it definitely creeped me out, and I know there's a chance of, when you leave haunted locations, spirits, entities can follow you, can follow you home.
Jake? [ JAKE BARKING .]
Jake! [ JAKE BARKING .]
Jake, where are you? Jake! Jake! [ BARKS .]
[ BARKS .]
What is up with this dog? [ BARKS .]
[ CREATURE GROWLING .]
[ INSECTS BUZZING .]

[ CREATURE GROWLING .]
[ BARKING .]
Jake, come on.
Come on, boy.
Let's go.
Jake, come on.
[ CREATURE GROWLING .]
[ INSECTS CHIRPING .]
The nightmares started that night.
[ CREAKING .]
[INDISTINCT WHISPERING.]
[WHISPERING CONTINUES.]
[WHISPERING STOPS.]
[ INSECTS CHIRPING .]
I'm dreaming, or it's happening.
I really can't tell, and I look over in the corner of my room, and I see the same exact dark shadow figure in the corner, looking at me.
Bobby.
Bobby.
I don't see any features.
It's just a dark shape.
Wake up.
Bobby, wake up! [ GASPING .]
And it's just slowly walking towards me, and I feel the intent of it.
Bobby! [ SCREAMS .]
[ GASPING .]
Wake up! Wake up! Please, wake up! I'm standing there, looking at myself sleeping.
I'm looking down on myself.
I can't move.
The only thing I can move is my eyes, and I'm wanting to get up and run or try to yell for my husband, and I can't.
[ SCREAMS .]
Wake up! [ GROWLING .]
Please, please, wake up! [ SCREAMS .]
Wake up! As it's getting closer to me, it starts to reach out to me and starts to lean down, and as it goes to grab my legs [ SCREAMS .]
[ GROWLING .]
[ SCREAMING .]
[ INSECTS CHIRPING .]
[ SCREAMING .]
Wake up! Please, please wake up! [ SCREAMS .]
Wake up! [ SCREAMING .]
[ GASPS .]
BEMIS: I wake up.
[ JAKE WHINING .]
And this type of dream went on for months.
[ INSECTS CHIRPING .]
About a day after that would happen, I would find bruises on the top part of my legs that looked like fingerprints.
[ BREATHING QUICKLY .]
If somebody was to come up to you and dig their hands into you really hard, that's what it looked like on my upper legs.
Oh.
[ INSECTS CHIRPING .]
[ CREATURE SHRIEKS .]
[ SCREAMS .]
I was terrified to go to sleep.
Sometimes, I would be able to wake myself up from the nightmare and fall back asleep, and it would start over.
[ BIRDS CHIRPING .]
[ GASPS .]

[ SCREAMING .]

[ SIGHS .]
These are not regular nightmares.
These are lucid nightmares.
[ SCREAMING .]
[ GASPING .]
[ DRAINING WATER ECHOES .]
I had them multiple times a week, the same dream all the time.
Somewhere between 20 and 30 times, I had the same nightmare.
It was really difficult to sleep for months.
[ BIRDS CHIRPING .]
[ INSECTS CHIRPING .]
My husband He was in bed asleep.
[INDISTINCT WHISPERING.]
[ JAKE GROWLS .]
[ STATIC CRACKLES .]
[ JAKE WHINING .]
[ JAKE BARKS .]
[ JAKE WHINING .]
Something tells me to turn around and walk through my house towards my back door.
[INDISTINCT WHISPERING.]
And I go to turn, and as I peer around that corner, I see my dog by the door, like he wants to go outside.
Jake? [ JAKE WHINING .]
Jake! [INDISTINCT WHISPERING.]
[ HEART BEATING .]
[ ECHOING .]
Jake? [ HEARTBEAT CONTINUES .]
Jake? [ HEARTBEAT CONTINUES .]
Jake, where are you?! Jake.
[ HEARTBEAT CONTINUES .]
[ HEARTBEAT STOPS .]
[ INSECTS CHIRPING .]
[ BIRD CAWING .]
[ HEART BEATING .]
[ WINGS FLUTTER .]
[ HEARTBEAT CONTINUES .]
Jake! [ HEARTBEAT CONTINUES .]
What is it, Jake? [ SCREAMING .]
[ CREATURE GROWLING .]
As I'm starting to lean a little bit farther, I see what I would best describe as a hellhound.
[ CREATURE GROWLING .]
When I saw that, it I mean, it terrified me [ CREATURE GROWLING .]
[ GASPS .]
and so I start to run back to my house.
[ PANTING .]
[ CREATURE GROWLING .]
Aah! And the next thing I know, I'm awake.
It was one of the scariest things I had ever seen.
[ BIRDS CHIRPING .]
When I saw this in my dream, I looked it up.
If you see a hellhound or a black dog, it's supposed to be an omen that you are going to die.
But I was like, "Okay, that's just a bad dream.
" I had found out that actually seeing some sort of black dog in the prison is an encounter that people have had.
They are seen in graveyards, cemeteries, places of execution Wherever there's been a lot of death, that's where they're seen.
I had no clue that anybody had ever had any sort of experience with what would be known as a hellhound in the prison.
So, for me, that kind of added a little bit of validation to what I had experienced to know that other people had seen the same thing I did, although I didn't see it there I saw it in my home.
[INDISTINCT WHISPERING.]
[WHISPERING CONTINUES.]
[ BIRDS CHIRPING .]
Jake! I let my dog out early in the morning Jake! Food's ready, boy! Jake! What's the matter? Bobby! [ VOICE BREAKING .]
and would not get up.
Bobby! So I get my husband.
He won't get up.
[ BIRDS CHIRPING .]
You're gonna be okay.
So, we took him to the vet.
My husband had to carry him out to the car.
[ BREATHES SHARPLY .]
[ CRYING .]
So, we got to the vet's office early Saturday.
They give him some medication, some steroids, to try to see if it would help him get some feeling back into his legs, and it didn't work.
[ BREATHES DEEPLY .]
So we had to, unfortunately, make the decision to put him down.
[ BIRDS CHIRPING .]
Basically, they said it was a spinal-cord-type issue Nerves going to the back of the legs were not functioning properly.
He could not feel his back legs.
He could not walk.
[ BIRDS CHIRPING .]
This is something that would occur in dogs over months, years, so the fact that this happened out of nowhere, I mean, just in a split second They couldn't explain that.
[ BIRDS CHIRPING .]
[ CRYING .]
When I walk past Jake's ashes, I can't help but think [ BREATHES DEEPLY .]
that it was my fault, that what I did by going to Mansfield led to his death That I did that to him.
[ BIRDS CHIRPING .]
When my dog died three months to the day of me having that nightmare, it kind of all came together.
And going back through the dates when the nightmares started, it was May 22nd when they started.
[ SCREAMING .]
I had the dream with the hellhound and my dog on July 22nd [ SCREAMING .]
and on October 22nd, we had to put our dog down.
My husband is not a big believer in the paranormal, but this changed.
He agrees that how this played out is just a little bit too weird to not think that there's something paranormal about it when you factor in everything that happened from the night I left Mansfield until the day my dog died.
It absolutely has changed my life.
I am definitely a little bit more cautious when it comes to the paranormal.
[ BIRDS CHIRPING .]
You know, I would like to try to find answers for what happened to me.
I would like to find out if anybody else has had the exact same experience as me.
I almost want to go And confront and face my fears and try to get some resolution.
If you're going out looking for something, you know, you just might find it, and it might not be exactly what you want to find.

Jake? [ HEARTBEAT CONTINUES .]
Jake, where are you?! Jake.
[ HEARTBEAT CONTINUES .]
[ HEARTBEAT STOPS .]
[ INSECTS CHIRPING .]

[ HEART BEATING .]
[ WINGS FLUTTER .]
[ HEARTBEAT CONTINUES .]
Jake! [ HEARTBEAT CONTINUES .]
What is it, Jake? [ SCREAMING .]
[ CREATURE GROWLING .]
As I'm starting to lean a little bit farther, I see what I would best describe as a hellhound.
[ CREATURE GROWLING .]
When I saw that, it I mean, it terrified me [ CREATURE GROWLING .]
[ GASPS .]
and so I start to run back to my house.
[ PANTING .]
[ CREATURE GROWLING .]
Aah! And the next thing I know, I'm awake.
It was one of the scariest things I had ever seen.
[ BIRDS CHIRPING .]
When I saw this in my dream, I looked it up.
If you see a hellhound or a black dog, it's supposed to be an omen that you are going to die.
But I was like, "Okay, that's just a bad dream.
" I had found out that actually seeing some sort of black dog in the prison is an encounter that people have had.
They are seen in graveyards, cemeteries, places of execution Wherever there's been a lot of death, that's where they're seen.
I had no clue that anybody had ever had any sort of experience with what would be known as a hellhound in the prison.
So, for me, that kind of added a little bit of validation to what I had experienced to know that other people had seen the same thing I did, although I didn't see it there I saw it in my home.

[ BIRDS CHIRPING .]
Jake! I let my dog out early in the morning Jake! Food's ready, boy! Jake! What's the matter? Bobby! [ VOICE BREAKING .]
and would not get up.
Bobby! So I get my husband.
He won't get up.
[ BIRDS CHIRPING .]
You're gonna be okay.
So, we took him to the vet.
My husband had to carry him out to the car.
[ BREATHES SHARPLY .]
[ CRYING .]
So, we got to the vet's office early Saturday.
They give him some medication, some steroids, to try to see if it would help him get some feeling back into his legs, and it didn't work.
[ BREATHES DEEPLY .]
So we had to, unfortunately, make the decision to put him down.
[ BIRDS CHIRPING .]
Basically, they said it was a spinal-cord-type issue Nerves going to the back of the legs were not functioning properly.
He could not feel his back legs.
He could not walk.
[ BIRDS CHIRPING .]
This is something that would occur in dogs over months, years, so the fact that this happened out of nowhere, I mean, just in a split second They couldn't explain that.
[ BIRDS CHIRPING .]
[ CRYING .]
When I walk past Jake's ashes, I can't help but think [ BREATHES DEEPLY .]
that it was my fault, that what I did by going to Mansfield led to his death That I did that to him.
[ BIRDS CHIRPING .]
When my dog died three months to the day of me having that nightmare, it kind of all came together.
And going back through the dates when the nightmares started, it was May 22nd when they started.
[ SCREAMING .]
I had the dream with the hellhound and my dog on July 22nd [ SCREAMING .]
and on October 22nd, we had to put our dog down.
My husband is not a big believer in the paranormal, but this changed.
He agrees that how this played out is just a little bit too weird to not think that there's something paranormal about it when you factor in everything that happened from the night I left Mansfield until the day my dog died.
It absolutely has changed my life.
I am definitely a little bit more cautious when it comes to the paranormal.
[ BIRDS CHIRPING .]
You know, I would like to try to find answers for what happened to me.
I would like to find out if anybody else has had the exact same experience as me.
I almost want to go And confront and face my fears and try to get some resolution.
If you're going out looking for something, you know, you just might find it, and it might not be exactly what you want to find.
