There are places in this world,
places closer than you think,
that are riddled with secrets --
towns with hidden pasts
mysteries buried
where the truth is concealed
within the walls.
As a paranormal investigator,
every so often,
a case will bring you
to one of these places
[ Siren wails ]
and what you will encounter
is far more
than you ever bargained for.

You leave the investigation

Sometimes, a case and a place

So we are going
to Old Paulding Jail.
Old Paulding Jail --
well, it was built in the 1870s,
and it was a operating jail
until 2006.
We could have been
locked up here.
Yeah. [ Laughs ]
The current owners
have had a lot
of different
paranormal experiences
to the point
where the main owner, Shelly,
she believes that there are
I want to say
like seven distinct,
different spirits there.
They have reported
being scratched, pushed,
hearing things, seeing things.
I mean, the list goes on and on.
And, you know,
there's some speculation that,
you know, was Paulding
a dumping ground for the mob?
There was a huge mob population
in Detroit,
and it was very easy
for them to come over here
and just sort of
get rid of things
they didn't want people
knowing about.
Yeah.
You know, I don't know if you
want to call it a burial ground,
but, I mean, a graveyard
of sorts, this whole area.
Yeah, yeah, and did
all the body dumping or murders,
did that sort of
just add fuel to the fire?
Yeah.
So this is kind of what's weird
about Paulding.
Several decades ago,
it had the highest unsolved
murder rate in the state.
Wow.
I guess the biggest
unsolved murder
was this 14-year-old girl,
Nancy.
Girl gets kidnapped, raped,
shot in the head,
left in the woods.
And then there is the notion
that the sheriff at the time,
Sheriff John Keeler,
could have been involved.
He could have been
hiding evidence.
So that's my question, too,
because they did take evidence,
and it went missing.
Ah, okay,
but didn't they uncover
some of Nancy's belongings
in the jail?
Yeah, so they were doing
renovation work,
and they found, like,
these false walls,
and when they were
taking them down,
they found a piece of clothing
that looked like
it was from a dress
and also a woman's shoe.
And her mom ID'd it as her
daughter's clothing and shoe.
I don't know.
It feels kind of creepy to me.
It's a little weird,
and the current owner
of Paulding Jail
believes that Nancy
is haunting her jail.
And on top of that,
you've got this big,
giant limestone jail
where there's a lot
of trauma associated,
and that building could have
absorbed some of that.
Right.
♪♪
There it is,
the old Paulding water tower.
[ Chuckles ]
♪♪
This is it.
This is it.
Yeah.
Wow.
The Paulding Jail kind of
ticks all the boxes
for, like,
an awesome ghost hunt.
♪♪
The jail was operating
for like 150 years.
There's alleged cover-ups.
There was a really high amount
of unsolved murders in the area,
and this jail is pretty unique.
Some say it's
the oldest building in Ohio,
and I've investigated
a fair amount of jails.
They've always been
really active,
and whether you believe
in ghosts or not,
there is a distinct
difference energetically
when you cross the threshold
and enter the buildings.
♪♪
Shelly?
Hello!
Hi! Hi, how it's going, Shelly?
Hi, I'm Katrina.
Hi, Katrina, good to meet you.
Good to meet you, too.
Nice to meet you, Jack.
Nice to meet you, too.
Hey, Vincent, come on out here.
Thank you for having us.
SHELLY: Oh, gosh.
Thanks for coming.
Yeah.
This is my husband, Vincent.
Hey.
Hi.
Hi.
How's it going?
Katrina.
Vincent.
Nice to meet you, Vincent.
Jack.
So I know you're
a paranormal investigator.
I am.
Vincent, are you a believer?
When I did come to start
working on the bathroom
and hearing voices
right in my ear,
that opened my eyes.
JACK: Wow.
What kind of voices
did you hear? Male, female?
It was a male, but it was
more felt than heard.
Huh.
And you guys took over when?
I bought it.
Originally, I was going to
use it for office space,
and redo it,
make it like a museum.
It's a historic building.
So what kind of things
have you experienced here?
Oh, my gosh.
We have phantom footsteps,
disembodied voices,
things appear,
disappear from the building,
people get touched
and scratched and pushed.
If it's okay, I have some things
I need to take care of.
JACK: Oh, sure.
Sure, yeah.
Do your thing, Vincent.
VINCENT: I'll talk to you later.
Yeah, we'll see you around.
I will tell you,
he is actually scared
of the ghosts in the building.
That's why he doesn't partake
in much of anything.
That's the whole issue.
He didn't believe at first,
and now he's afraid of them.
Just yesterday,
when I was in the office,
just sitting in my office chair,
for the first time,
I was scratched
just sitting there.
My husband come in, and he said,
"Oh, my gosh, you're bleeding."
I'm like, "Holy cow,
where did that come from?"
Wow. KATRINA: Did you
feel it as it happened?
I didn't even know it.
I was just sitting there,
and he's like, "Oh, my.
You're bleeding," and I'm like,
"That's the first time."
Okay.
Well, why don't we start
the tour,
and we'll go, I guess,
wherever you think
we should start.
Well, we're heading up
to the living quarters here.
Where these offices then?
Well, back in the day,
the front half of this building
was the living quarters.
The sheriff and his family
lived in the building
with the inmates until 1977,
and up these stairs will be
the more intimate spaces
that the family used.
Okay.
Wow, interesting.
You guys ready?
Come on up.
All right.
♪♪
This here is the third floor,
and this is
the most intimate area.
I always announce I'm going up
because the sheriff
is always here.
Sheriff Keeler, it's me, Shelly.
I'm coming up,
bringing some friends with me.
♪♪
Up here,
you can hear the sheriff
walking around a lot of times.
The disembodied voices,
we don't need
any equipment to hear him.
He is the dominant spirit
of the building.
He can be aggressive.
One of the really good things
about this case so far
is that Shelly has done
so much research,
and she's documented
her experiences so well
that she's actually
come up with profiles
for all the different spirits
that she believes
are haunting this location,
and it could be right,
but it might not be.
And I think one of the worst
things that Jack and I could do
is believe every single piece
to be accurate
because that's when
we'll be thrown on our ass.
♪♪
There's times
when these cameras up here,
they will pulsate.
We've checked, renewed lines.
We've put new cameras in.
We've checked breaker boxes
for the power.
They'll pulsate,
and when that happens,
there's a spot
on this wall over here.
You can see it
on the downstairs cameras,
on the monitors.
It'll start, I don't know,
kind of like morphing,
and you can see actual faces
coming out of that.
We have footage of this.
KATRINA: Hmm.
You can just barely see that
when it appears,
a face of a child.
♪♪
Want to see this?
Let us see this.
Now, a close-up will come of it.
Oh, wow, yeah.
Oh, it moves.
Mm-hmm, and that is
a closer-up picture of it.
Weird.
It's weird because initially
when it pops up,
it happens, like, in a flash.
So I'm like,
"Oh, it's got to be something
with the lights or the camera,"
but what's odd about it
is how it retracts
because it's just
a slow pullback.
Mm-hmm.
Okay, would you like to see
the first-floor cellblock?
Yeah.
Let us do it.
Let's go.
♪♪
This area here
is where a man named Gary
was found hanged in 1998.
He was found by the jailer
at 7:20 in the morning,
however,
I think there was foul play.
[ Heavy breathing ] Wait, wait,
wait, hold up for a second.
Do you ever hear breathing
back here?
Yes, heavy breathing?
Yeah.
Gasping?
However, I think
there was foul play.
Wait, wait, wait,
hold up for a second.
Well, I heard that.
Yeah.
Gary was only being held in here
on a child-support case.
He had been here five days
waiting to go to court,
so it wasn't anything serious.
He had a good job.
He was married.
He lived in Alabama.
So I ask
the spirits
You know, I asked Gary himself,
EVP sessions, spirits say
he didn't hurt himself.
The story about Gary's death
is interesting.
When they found him, his feet
were still on the ground,
so it was more like he had --
He didn't necessarily
break his neck.
He just, like,
asphyxiated himself.
Strange, very strange,
and it's strange
that a guy would hang himself
after going to jail
for something as nothing
as, like, paying child support.
Are you guys ready to go
to the second floor?
Yeah.
Yeah.
♪♪
This is the second-floor block.
Misdemeanor crime people
were held here.
So more serious crimes
were held downstairs?
Yes, so they would be
closer to the office.
They could keep an eye
on them better.
Up here, we get dark mass,
shadow ghosts
taking human shape,
and they stand around people.
Interesting. KATRINA: You
see them with your own eyes?
Oh, yes.
A lot of people see them.
Shall we go to the basement now?
Yeah.
I'm down.
Okay, let's roll.
Literally.
♪♪
We are heading to the basement.
♪♪
Mm.
Weird vibe.
It's a lot bigger than
What you were expecting?
we were expecting, yeah.
This area, Nancy Eagleson --
She communicates
with us down here.
Why do you think
she's coming here?
Well, I think because
her case has not been resolved,
and at some point --
and I haven't been able
to figure out
when or who done it, the --
The sounds are morphing.
JACK: Yeah, my Mel Meter
was really acting up.
It doesn't normally
kind of pop off like it was.
What if we are interacting
with Nancy Eagleson's spirit?
These cells were blocked up,
bricked up,
and so were the whole tunnels.
A whole entire false wall
was put up, and a cell --
The first cell to your left
had been opened up.
That's where missing evidence
from that case was found,
all bricked up in there.
It was Nancy's shoe
and a piece of her dress.
In regards to Nancy,
it's very weird that, you know,
they would let their most
prolific cold case in their town
have all that evidence
end up behind that wall.
So do we know who actually
sealed off the cells?
I have tried and tried
and tried to figure out
when those were sealed,
which sheriff,
which time period,
and I can't figure it out.
Mm-hmm.
♪♪
Should we go take a look?
Absolutely.
All right.
♪♪
This here is where
the cells are, down there.
JACK: Wow.
And this first one on your left
is the one that
they found the evidence in.
Can I go in?
Yes, go ahead.
Take a look around.
People get scratched in here,
shoved.
They get disembodied voices.
♪♪
KATRINA:
These are for Nancy?
Yep, they are for her
because we thought maybe
she might like those.
Yeah.
And how many cells total
are down here?
Seven,
so there's four on this side
and three on this side,
and there's one over here
that hasn't been opened yet.
Wow.
Is there any way into it?
No, not unless
we open it with --
have somebody cut it open.
So it's right in here.
That's one
that's never been opened.
Interesting.
KATRINA: I think one of
the things we really need to do
is get behind that wall.
If there was evidence
in one of the cells,
then maybe there's more evidence
in another cell
♪♪
but as long
as we get in there somehow,
we'll have that answer.
There might be nothing,
but something might be there
trying to communicate
the truth of this building.

KATRINA: So we just finished
our tour with Shelly,
and I think Shelly is very,
very dedicated
to finding out
the truth of this building
and to finding out
who haunts this building.
And one of the really great
things we have with Shelly
is that she has
all of these names
that she's been able to connect
to pieces of activity,
but she's having
a lot of trouble
trying to really
get documentation on them.
So Jack and I are going to meet
with the town newspaper
to see if we can drum up
any information
that might help
our investigation
just in case there's any
connection to the experiences
that people are having.
♪♪
MELINDA: I think I found
some research for you
that hopefully
Exciting.
will be able to help you.
KATRINA:
Oh, perfect.
Here's some information
on the jail
and some more
on the Nancy Eagleson case.
Oh, perfect.
We got some names from Shelly
about who she believes
is haunting --
Obviously, Nancy,
she thinks is there.
Right.
She believes Sheriff Keeler
is there.
She also pulled out
some other names --
Gary and the jailer.
This area here is where
a man named Gary
was found hanged.
Shelly was telling us
that she believes
Gary was murdered.
Did you ever remember hearing
any news scenes about that
as you guys
were reporting that story?
No.
Yeah?
Not at the time.
It did seem a little strange
that somebody
in the commons area
would have been able
to do something like that.
Mm-hmm.
It is strange
that you're only in jail
for five days
for something minor,
and he ends up killing himself,
and then killing himself
in a communal area,
assuming that there's probably
a guard around, like
No, and that would have been
breakfast time, too.
Yeah.
Yeah.
As far as the Nancy case goes,
having done
your own investigation,
do you have a thought
or a theory,
like a, you know,
your own conclusion,
having spent
so much time on this?
♪♪
It's so hard to stay.
Yeah?
There were just things
that didn't add up,
but there was some discussion
that the sheriff
was involved somehow
or knew who did it
and kind of covered it up,
and that's why
it was never solved.
Mm-hmm.
I mean, that was certainly
one theory out there.
There wasn't really anything
to substantiate it,
but people did find it odd
that the body was found
so quickly after the murder.
I mean, it was just within
an hour or so.
Yeah. And it sounds like they
found, like,
a piece of cloth from the dress
or part of the scarf
in the cell, is that right?
I don't know that they were able
to connect the two,
but they did find some fabric
in the cell, also.
Right, and her mom identified
both the shoe and the fabric.
I believe so, yeah.
What did the kind of
local law enforcement
have to say about it?
They didn't want
to talk to anybody
from TV, newspapers.
It was very strained.
Hmm.
'Cause, I mean, it's just odd.
Like, from a paranormal
researcher perspective, right,
a lot of times,
the experiences we have
that we can't explain
connect back to history.
Not all the time,
but a lot of times,
we found that connection.
So, you know,
we don't really know
if Nancy is at the jail.
We don't know this,
but there seems to be, you know,
if that was her shoe
that was found,
which her mom ID'd,
there's the mystery of why
those walls were put up.
Yeah.
So it's just like
all these little mysteries,
and, you know, so then it
makes me wonder why is there --
If Nancy is there,
is there a reason for it?
And it's, like, all right here,
and we're just not seeing
the full picture.
And it kind of seems like
the more we dig into this,
the more secrets we find.
We like to have answers,
clear answers, for everything,
and that's not always possible.
Yeah, I mean, hopefully,
we come back with some results,
and, you know,
whether it's admissible or not,
but, you know.
I can't wait to hear it. Yeah.
Yeah.
Well, we have got
our work cut out.
Yes, we do.
KATRINA: Right now, my head
is just kind of swirling
with everything we talked about.
There were a couple times
when we were talking
where Melinda just kind of
gave these looks like
she wanted to say something,
but she was --
I don't know
if she was afraid to say it
or she was uncomfortable
saying it,
but there were a couple times
where I felt like
she just wanted to get something
off of her chest but couldn't.
What that is, I don't know,
but it always kind of
seemed to come up
when we were talking
specifically about the sheriff.
♪♪
It's always
a little nerve-racking
trying to figure out
why that is because,
I mean, if it does have anything
to do with the sheriff,
I mean, what kind of risk are
Jack and I putting on ourselves
by going in here and trying
to dredge up this history?
♪♪
♪♪
Are you ready to go?
Here, I'll give you that.
So it's Day 2.
We've got kind of a busy day
ahead of us.
We managed to get ahold
of an engineering firm
and some stonemasons,
and they're going to come in
and hopefully bust in that cell
that no one has opened,
which is kind of exciting.
Watch your step, guys.
I'm wondering if they genuinely
found evidence
from Nancy Eagleson's murder
in one of these sealed cells,
I mean, who knows what else
could be buried here
or, you know,
bricked up behind a wall.
There's a lot of mystery
surrounding the way
that this sheriff's department
ran itself.
It's kind of creepy,
to be honest with you.
What's up, guys?
We're good.
So what's the plan?
We're going to remove
these three blocks.
Okay.
Just because they're straight,
so we can get to them
without damaging
the rest of the wall.
Okay, good stuff.
All right.
Well, let's get jackhammering.
[ Jackhammer whirring ]
♪♪
I don't know.
I think this case
is way more layered
than we ever expected it to be,
and I think Jack and I
definitely have our work
cut out for us.
So I'm going to go meet
with Kat Hobson.
She is
this paranormal investigator
and has been in the field
for a really long time,

what happened to her here
was really harrowing.

Katrina?
Yeah.
Hi, Kat.
Hi.
I'm Kat, yes.
Nice to meet you.
It's nice to meet you, too.
Yeah, have a seat.
Shelly said that I should
come and speak with you.
Yeah, I heard from Shelly
that you had some
pretty crazy experiences here.
I had very crazy
experiences here.
When did you first come here?
I first came here, I guess,
in 2015, 2016,
and the activity
was the most intense
paranormal experience
I've ever had.
[ Jackhammer whirring ]
Are we through?
We're through.
Let's take a look.
♪♪
Awesome.
Yeah, I mean,
let's just do the whole thing.
Might as well.
All right.
We're already here.
No problem.
Get us in.
[ Jackhammer whirring ]
We just came up
from the basement.
The guys are still
hammering away.
It's funny.
It sounds like
there's a prison break going on.
I can see in,
and there's a lot of, like,
rocks and debris in the vault,
but it's all covered in dust.
So there could be artifacts
down there.
You can't tell.
So I told them, like,
"Let's bust it through
so we can actually get inside."
We'll go down there
with a metal detector
and kind of just see
if we can find something.
KAT: I went down
to the first-floor cellblock,
and feet started stomping
all around me,
heavy stomping.
Apparently, that is considered
hallowed ground
by the spirits here.
Why do you say that?
Because they went crazy.
The next thing that started
happening almost immediately
was the steel,
the heavy, steel fire doors
were being banged on.
Really?
I mean, every floor.
On every floor?
It wasn't just
where I was anymore.
♪♪
I was freaking out [Chuckles]
because it felt like the whole
building was angry, right?
Yeah.
I mean, like, bam,
every one of them.
I had every spirit in this jail
livid with me.
So do you think that Jack and I
are in any kind of danger?
I do think that
if you're not careful,
these spirits can get
really angry.
I think that
if you are wanting
to push an envelope,
I think that you will
get that right back.
Hmm.
JACK: Katrina?
Yeah, go ahead.
You might want to come
down here sooner than later.
We're just about through
the prison cell so, yeah.
Okay.

See that?
KATRINA: Yeah.
But that's cut.

Because of how clean it is?
Yeah.
Do you think a rodent
could have done that?
No, these are definitely --
They're probably rat.
These look like rat bones.
Those look like rats, yeah.
Yeah, because look,
there's the pelvic.
I mean, it kind of
looks like a vertebrae.
MAN:
That's bigger than anything
that could have gotten through
that hole, that's for sure.
But, I mean, if that's
a vertebrae, that's like
a human-sized vertebrae.
You think so?
Yeah.
I mean, think about your bones
in your back.
Or they're dog.
I mean, it's not --
But then, like, what's this?
Like, this is why it looks cut,
like that could be --
That's like a leg bone
that's been cut.
JACK:
If they are, in fact, human,
it completely shuts down
the entire investigation,
and this becomes
an active crime scene.
It's just weird, and so we're
trying to figure out, all right,
what are we going to do?
What's the plan?
How do we proceed?
I mean, I don't know
enough about bones
to know what it could be.
Initially, I think they're
too small to be human. Yeah.
But unless
it's a small human, so
Here's the thing.
This isn't our property.
We should be asking Shelly

Hey, Shelly.
I'm nervous.
No.

there's rat bones right here.
Oh, my gosh.
Pretty large piece of bone
right there.
Yeah.
I've seen rodent bones,
and that's not a rodent bone.
KATRINA: Yeah.
No.
No.
Yeah, it's too big.
So my thought would be
to bag it.
We definitely need to find out.
Yeah, I mean, I kind of
wanted to leave this up to you

I would like to figure out
what those are before we proceed

we're contaminating

a potential crime scene,

kind of shutting cameras down.

Will you guys help me out?
And I got to say,
I'm a little freaked out
because when we entered,
I just see this bone,
and then I start moving
other bones around
and I see more bones.
And in all,
I think we recovered
like eight bones from that,
but there's two in there
which are sizable.
They are too big to be rodent,
and they're not small enough

How's the angle?
It's good.
You can see the whole room.
Awesome. Okay.
I'm going to come up.
I think we have
a couple missions.
Talking to Shelly,
she definitely has the things
that she wants fresh eyes on
to help her through this,
and I think, you know,
we can try our best to do that.
On top of it, though,
I'm not 100% convinced
that Nancy is here,
and so if she's not here,
then who are they talking to?
Is that something or someone
playing a trick on them
to open them up
and be vulnerable,
or is it actually Nancy?
That's one of
my biggest questions,
and the other part
is Sheriff Keeler.
Why is he still here
after all these years?
What does he want
if he wants anything?
So I think
we're pretty well-covered.
I don't think there's an area
that we haven't covered
between all these cameras,
and it's so specific
to what Shelly has experienced
in each area.
JACK: Mm-hmm.
So the basement, you know,
she keeps talking about
Nancy and something evil.
Nancy Eagleson,
she communicates with us
down here.
She was a girl who was murdered,
and they've never
found the killer.
It's never been solved.
I haven't got very far
with that.
So I think the questions we have
down there,
is it really Nancy?
If it is, why?
If it's not, who is that?
Yeah.
And what is, or who is,
the evil thing?
Yeah, 100%.
I think there's maybe
a global kind of question
that needs to be asked is
why are spirits lingering here?
Mm-hmm.
You know,
what is it about this place? Yeah.
I mean, granted,
if I was imprisoned here,
I would not like
to spend eternity here.
Right.
And so what will set them free?
Yeah.
I think based off of
Kat's experience
that we know so far,
to me, that's residual.
Yeah.
But it seemed to be
set off by something.
It felt like
the whole building was angry.
KATRINA: Yeah.

Yeah.
I had every spirit in this jail
livid with me.
But then you have
Shelly's experiences,

they're all intelligent.
Yeah.
Okay.
Just so everyone knows,
she has not been told
where she is.
She's also
going to be blindfolded,

a lot of chain link and whatnot,

left his mark.

that, you know, she was, like --
She did hit on that something
that happened under his watch
that he's always felt
so bad about,

of the reason why he stays,

since I've been here.
Really?
I was very uncomfortable
doing this.
Upstairs, even when I was trying
to communicate with the sheriff,
who I do think is
an intelligent entity
Yeah.
I was getting some results
during the EVP,
where I get those static, like,
pops in between questions.
Hmm.
So, I feel like
we're running out of time.
How do you feel about trying
an experiment?
- What experiment?
- The sensory-deprivation one.
With me?
Uh-huh.
See, I wanted to do that,
but in the second floor.
Do you want to try it
in the jail?
JACK: Yeah, I'll do it in the
jail because I'm thinking --
My logic is,
well, they thought maybe
the sheriff
wasn't giving me a hard time
because I'm a cop.
KATRINA: Oh.
And he's probably gonna
give me a level of respect.
Yeah.
Versus if I'm in the jail area,
and I'm like, "Hey, I'm a cop.
You know,
give me your best shot."
I think that's a good idea.
Try it.
Okay?
Let's try it.
I think I'm gonna try my hand
at the third floor, then.
Cool.

- Hi, guys.
- Hello.
JACK: Howdy.
Come and take a seat right next to us.
- Yes.
- We survived the night.
- Yeah.
- Yes.
It was an interesting one.
We brought in this woman
named Michelle Belanger.
She's a world-renowned psychic.
Oh, sure.
One of the best.
So, she was in our van,
and she started drawing
what she was seeing.
There was a guy who stood out
that I'm just gonna call
either Mr. Mirror Shades
or the Big
KATRINA:
I'll give this to you.
She kept saying,
"Yeah, there's here
with mirrored glasses, and
he's wearing a brown uniform."
The description basically
was Sheriff Keeler.
It's a confirmation.
I'm getting goose bumps
'cause I'm pretty sure
he's here myself.
When we took her into
the first-floor cell area,
she picked up on Gary.
Specifically, she picked up
on the hanging.
Hanging.
A quick image
of feet mostly off the ground,
but the toes scraping.
He is surly.
KATRINA: She was describing --
I think, like, this was, like,
the end of his rope.
His life is
He's always the victim.
She said there's a lot
of anger associated with him.
Oh, my.
And when we were
doing research on him,
and we pulled his obituary,
there didn't really seem to be
anything suspicious about it.
Right.
So I think all of that kind
of leads to, you know,
probably no foul play as far
as his death is concerned,
but, you know, he very much
still is holding on to,
"It wasn't my fault.
My life wasn't supposed
to be like this."
Michelle, we took her
down to the basement
where we found those bones.
She walked past it,
and she said,
"I wouldn't be surprised
if there were bones in there."
Wow.
And you know we did
find bones down there.
We're having them analyzed
because we can't make that call.
We're not doctors. I mean,
just to be on the safe side.
To determine if
they're animal or human.
Michelle, we took her upstairs,
and she's like,
"This is where
Mirrored Glasses is."
We did give her the name Nancy,
and she was having
a conversation
with Sheriff Keeler at the time
'cause she very much believed
that's who was here.
And she asked point-blank,
"Did you do something to her?"
And he said,
"Of course not."
There's definitely
a body-language change with
Did something bad
happen to Nancy?
Is that your fault, too?
Did you hurt her?
"No, don't be stupid.
I wouldn't hurt her."
Michelle didn't pick up
on Nancy.
What she was picking up
on, though, it was weird
because it was a lot of what
you guys had kind of told us
and what kind of the sprinkled
rumors in the town were.
The whole truth
was not getting out
and that Keeler
was part of that.
She mentioned, though,
one of the reasons
she thinks Keeler sticks around
is because there were things
that happened on his watch
that shouldn't have happened,
and that's something he's
holding very close to his chest
and can't let go of.
Okay.
And she believes
this is his place.
But he didn't have anything
to do with who killed Nancy?
Mnh-mnh.
No.
What we can take away from,
like, our experiences
and, you know,
Michelle's psychic walk-through
is that obviously
this place is active.
I was in the basement alone.
I heard little shuffling
behind me.
Who committed the murder?
♪♪
I think if you start putting
all of that together,
this building
has intelligent elements,
and it looks like
it has some residual stuff.
There's a lot of secrets
surrounding a lot
of these stories
about the people who were here,
and I almost wonder
if that's part of the reason
why they're still here
or why they sometimes
try to communicate,
because their truth
hasn't been told yet.
Sure.
And if you think about a jail,
I mean, that's the whole point,
is, you get shut up,
and you get put away, and then
nobody ever knows your story.
So maybe they're still here,
and they still feel like
they need to communicate.
Jack had a very
personal experience.
Yeah. You know, I did get
touched at one point.
Actually, it felt like someone
came up behind my shirt
and, like, gave two,
like, sharp,
short, like, ba-ba!
Like, pull on the back
of my shirt.
We've reviewed
all the footage of it.
You can't see anything behind
me. Nothing, yeah.
Oh, my gosh. See, now
I got goose bumps.
Yeah.
That's something.
♪♪
VINCENT:
It's a lot to process.
It's a lot more information
than I had.
I hope what we've been able
to give you guys at least
is more tools to get some more
of these stories out
that have been just buried
and forgotten about on purpose.
Oh, absolutely.
Everything helps.
Mm-hmm.
And with the bones
we found down there,
it might be why you're having
such intense
paranormal activity down there.
I mean, if you think
about it, too --
If they were keeping
secrets in life,
I mean, would they necessarily
spill the beans?
Yeah.
Like, you know?
No. So it might be a couple
years until you really start
to get those answers
you're looking for.
And that's how it's been.
We get a little pinch here,
and it might be months,
and somebody will say
something else, and
Yeah.
we just got to keep putting
the puzzle pieces together.
Do you guys feel good?
We do.
Yeah?
We do.
Maybe with the help of all
of them here,
we're gonna figure out
what happened to Nancy and
Bring some peace to the unfinished
stories here. Absolut-- Yes.
Exactly.
Yes.
♪♪
Looking at the bigger picture,
I wouldn't label this a portal
based off of what we've seen.
There's a long-standing thought
in the paranormal world
that if you haven't been able
to finish your business,
if you haven't been able to say
all the things
you were supposed to say
while you were alive
that you're kind of doomed
to wander the Earth
until that truth comes out.
Whoa. That's bones.
♪♪
With all the places we go,
is that part of the reason
some of these pieces
of activity are happening?
Are they still trying to find
their voice
and speak their truth
or stay to keep their secrets?

those are before we proceed.
To be continued.
MAN:

So, since the investigation
at Old Paulding Jail,
it's been about 3 months or so.

The sheriff.
That seems to be the most
prevalent haunting Yes.
of the jail
'cause he probably spent
more time there than anyone.
Yeah.
I think it was his jail.
He was very well-known
in that town.
I think he ran
a very tight ship,
and I think if there's anything
to holding on to pieces of life
after you die, then why
wouldn't he hold on to that?
And the saga of the bones
continue.
♪♪
JACK: So, it's been about 3
months since our investigation
at the Old Paulding Jail.
And the saga
of the bones continue.
The bones that were discovered
have gone
on a bit of a journey.
See that?
KATRINA: Yeah.
But that's cut.
That's been cut.
Because of how clean it is?
Yeah.
Do you think a rodent
could have done that? No.
We dropped the bones off
at the sheriff's department.
They took a report.
Then they sent them off
to their lab, allegedly,
and then some weeks later, they
sent the bones back to Shelly,
saying that,
"Nothing to see here.
They're just animal bones.
No big deal."
And then Shelly called us
and wanted them
examined somewhere else.
So then,
that's when we were like,
"Let's send them out
for independent,
you know, examination."
So we just sent a picture
of the bones
to a very well-respected
forensic anthropologist
by the name
of Dr. Bytheway,
and she was like, "Yeah, from
that picture, they look human,"
and she said that she might be
able to even date these bones.
So, yeah, we're sending them
out to her in Texas,
and she's gonna be doing
a proper examination.
Then it raises a lot
of questions --
Why are there human bones
in that basement to begin with?
Whose bones are they?
Why are they there?
But I think, honestly,
Shelly should speak for herself,
so why don't we get her
on the phone?
Okay.
Let's call Shelly.
All right.
Hello.
Hi.
What's the story on your end
about these bones
with the police?
One of the new sheriff
deputies called me and said,
"Well, we'd like to pick
the bones back up from you."
I said, "Why is that?"
And the deputy said
that the coroner
wanted to take another
look at them
to make sure
he didn't make a mistake.
Mm.
And I have a feeling
if I turn them over,
for one reason or another,
they're gonna keep them.
If they deem one of them
to be human,
they're gonna make it
a crime scene.
Mm. And there'd be an
investigation, so
Well, we sent a picture
of the bones
to a notable forensic anthropologist.
Uh-huh.
And she said,
by looking at them,
some of them look human,
but, you know,
with your permission,
we would like to send
those bones down to Texas
to her laboratory.
Oh, that'd be fantastic.
I will keep you posted
on the analysis we get.
Oh, fantastic.
All righty.
Well, listen,
we'll keep you up to date
on what's going on.
Okay, absolutely.
Thank you so much
for your help on this.
No worries.
You're welcome.
We'll talk to you soon.

That's interesting.
I didn't even think
about her theory on that.
Possibly they're trying to make

something up?

I mean, we were digging.
We were there.
We brought things
that were in there

Being touched in the jail,
I question it so much.

Wasn't I?"

"Oh, my God, that was not"

As paranormal investigators,
we try and answer questions --
our own personal questions,
the questions of people who have
invited us in to investigate.
And I think this investigation,
we managed to button up
some things,
but also open doors
to more questions.
Who are these people that are
trapped in that jail, and why?
You know, I like to think
that maybe the truth
could maybe set
some of these people free.
I think the whole point
of paranormal investigating
that gets lost
in translation a lot
is that it doesn't matter
