Fort William Henry
Who's there?
Who's at the door?
♪♪
It sounded like it was
coming from behind here.
- Oop. You see that?
- Oh, yeah.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
♪♪
is this place a portal to hell?
♪♪
that's bones.

serious?

katrina: He believes that
you're demonic.
So this should really
piss you off.

[ woman screams ]
jack: Before this land
was known as america,
nations and natives battled over
who could claim her abundance.
European colonialists
clashed for decades,
exploiting
the indigenous peoples,
spawning a cycle
of blood and betrayal.
And in this place,
the sins of yesteryear is led
to one of the bloodiest
massacres in history
[ screaming ]
Leaving a permanent wound
on the land.
♪♪
♪♪
okay, jack and I
are in lake george, new york.
This is our fort william henry
investigation.
♪♪
so fort william henry
was built mainly
because of a trade war
that was going on between the
french and the british -- mm-hmm.
And the french had built
a huge fort not far from here.
And so, the british decided to
build fort william henry.
You know, the fort, in its short
time that it stood,
saw a huge amount of tragedy.
You know, the french made
a lot of false promises
to the native americans,
especially the ones that they kind
of amassed into their army. Yeah.
The deal was you fight for us
and you could plunder
the fruits of war. Yeah.
And they didn't
really hold true to that.
So the french and the natives
attack the fort.
And after a six-day siege,
the british surrender,
the french basically
just let the british go
with all their plunder
promised to the natives.
The native americans decided
to ambush the british
and steal all their stuff.
And then they went back
to the fort
and killed everyone there
which was allegedly
hundreds of people
and then they burned it down.
So crazy, and ever since then,
people have been having paranormal
experiences -- absolutely.
For a really long time
and people have been
seeing, you know, soldiers,
obviously, is kind of the big one.
Yeah.
People have
a lot of late anomalies
that they see --
voices, things like that.
Is it just the soldiers?
Like, who else is there?
Why are they still there?
Is it the tragedy
or is it the fact that
because there was
such a tragic thing,
it's opened a doorway to allow
paranormal activity to happen?
- Yeah.
- I suppose.
So I think we're coming into
the fort looking to figure out
if the hauntings
at fort william henry
are spirits of people
who died in the massacre
or something that has been there
even longer.
Maybe something that actually
influenced the massacre into happening.
Totally.
♪♪
- have you investigated here?
- No, I never have.
It's been on my list
for a while, though.
Is this place, like,
a legendary spot to investigate?
Not a lot of people
actually come here
because it's kind of a
more isolated area. Yeah.
It's also a fort
and I don't think
they're always the easiest
to get into.
But, for us,
they're shutting it down. Yeah.
So we actually have
the whole place
literally locked down
like a fort.
We are pulling into
ye old merry old fort.
♪♪
♪♪
all right, shall we go in, meet rob?
Let's do it.
- Let's siege the fort.
- [ laughs ]
♪♪
okay, so where do we go?
Oh, there's a cemetery.
You know, at times of war,
I don't think things are
cleaned up all the time.
So, I mean, you had a massacre
happening with 200 people
being killed,
slaughtered, skinned.
It's very possible that right
now we're standing on graves
that were never given
a proper burial.
This is the secret british
fort entry knock
that only us brits know.
- [ laughs ]
♪♪
hello? How's it going,
I'm jack.
- Hi, I'm richard.
- Nice to meet you, richard.
Hi, nice to meet you, I'm katrina.
Hi, katrina.
So we are meeting with rob.
Is he here?
Yep. And I'll go get him for you.
Okay.
Awesome, cool.
Can we come in 'cause it's cold.
Come on right in so you can --
you can wander around
for a minute.
♪♪
wow.
Mitchell: I'll go get rob.
♪♪
rob will be here
in a couple of minutes.
- Okay, great.
- Awesome.
- How long have you worked here?
- Working here for six years.
And you've done
the history, mainly?
I work during the day and I
do the ghost tours at night.
Oh, okay. So have you ever
had an experience?
I've had a lot of experiences.
Really? Like what?
I have been touched, like,
actually took
and got pushed last week.
- You got pushed?
- I got pushed.
I was standing over
by the cannon over there.
Right here? I'll bring it
right over and show you.
Okay.
Somebody came through the door
over there and called my name.
And I turned like this.
And I started walking
and I took about two steps
and it felt like somebody took
and put their foot
right underneath me
and tripped me.
And just then it felt
like somebody pushed me
at the same time. Wow.
I actually hit the ground
and slid from right here
all the way over
to the entranceway right there.
I just slid across the ground.
It's the first time I've really
been attacked by something. Yeah.
And being here,
I'm amazed every single night
at what people get.
People do get full body
apparitions, shadow people.
People get their hair
pulled a little bit.
And where's
the most active place?
Like if jack and I
wanted an experience,
where would we go?
For me, it would be down in the
basement, the casemate. Okay.
That's where the massacre took place.
Mm-hmm.
Just about everybody experiences
at least
something down in there.
Richard was talking about
how he was physically pushed
and slid across the lobby area.
I mean,
that's a very powerful spirit
that can do that.
That's something to really kind
of take heed to that warning
and be aware that
there is something
sinister and powerful here.
Hi, are you rob? Hi.
Thank you. Hey.
So thank you for having us.
First off.
Yeah, this has been been
on my radar for a while.
So you do the history
and the paranormal?
Yeah, I do a little bit
of both here.
The paranormal thing kind of
just fell into my lap.
What were your thoughts
on the paranormal
before you started working here?
- Huge skeptic. Huge.
- Really?
Really huge.
This place made you a believer?
It really did.
I had some experiences here that
were just way out of the norm.
- Yeah.
- You know?
- Should we get rolling?
- Yeah.
'cause as much as
I love the gift shop,
I really want to check out the fort.
Let's take a walk, shall we?
♪♪
all right, so we're gonna
enter here
through our main museum.
- [ gasps ] wow.
- Ooh.
Although home today
to our main museum,
this was actually where
the soldiers would have slept
and stayed,
doing their daily activities.
And this would have been
the heart
of the fort
where we're standing right now.
Yeah, this was
the main barracks building.
This -- if you could imagine
this whole place
being filled with bunks,
soldiers sharing these bunks,
living in messes of six men.
Now were there also women
and children here?
Women and children as well
would've followed
their husbands from home.
And they would have lived here
in the fort, though?
- In the fort.
- Wow.
It's funny you try to put
yourself in those last moments
that people here had.
And so many of these people
that were here were young
and there were women
and there were children.
And I keep going back
to the terror
that people must have felt here
knowing that there wasn't
anything they could do.
So just to make clear,
we're in a replica right now. You are.
Okay. It's a reconstructed fort,
very much like the original.
- Right on the exact site.
- Okay.
This is a very accurate replica.
It looks pretty much
how it would have looked
when the original fort was here.
It could be significant
when it comes to the paranormal
because essentially the whole
building would be a trigger.
So where do we go from here?
We're gonna head
right upstairs here
to the second level of our
western barracks building.
♪♪
and up here, believe it or not,
is where many of our staff
have the most uneasy feelings.
- Interesting.
- Hmm.
It doesn't really look
like a bad place. Right.
But a little
by little kids voices --
- at night? A little different.
- Yeah.
Footsteps
following you away.
And then, of course,
you have ax heads
like down there
on the little shelf
if you want
to take a walk down here.
Those were all found right
here at the fort onsite. Oh.
And to have some of
this stuff move
- This stuff moves on its own?
- Yes, ma'am.
Now, can you tell me
what that means?
Does this end up
over there or
Oh, it'll move.
It'll be turned sideways.
Or you'll have a lot of these --
these things all pushed
right over sideways.
So to have them all, like,
fall over like dominoes,
- come on. I mean.
- Yeah.
All right, so what do you say
we head to the casemate
where the massacre happened?
- Yeah.
- Okay.
♪♪
jack: Granted, this is not
the exact structure.
It's built to the exact plans
that were found in britain,
but I don't think necessarily
it's about the structure here.
I think it's about this is
the ground it's built on.
♪♪
this is our casemate.
This was actually built
to house 100 people.
We've done some experiments
down here.
- Like paranormal ones?
- Paranormal ones.
What's happened?
We've drawn chalk circles
around these bottles.
- Mm-hmm.
- Yeah.
And the bottles have been
moved the next morning.
- Really?
- And then these names
used to be written in chalk
on the chalkboard
and we would come back
and every name
except for private jacob
hardy was erased. Really?
- Yeah.
- Now who's private jacob hardy?
Well, jacob hardy was a private
that had died here at the fort
during the siege and surrender.
It could have been
due to the massacre.
It could have been due
to sickness and disease.
- We're not quite sure.
- Wow.
And is there an account
of how many people
were actually down here and
when the massacre occurred? No.
Unfortunately,
there's no exact number.
Historians speculate
that there was anywhere
between 150 to 350 people
that died during the whole massacre.
Mm-hmm.
And that does include
some of those that perished
on the retreat southward
as the native americans
attack the column
that was retreating.
I'm still hearing it.
Yeah, it seems like movement over there.
- Where is richard?
- He's in the office.
There was a lot of movement
up there.
Yeah, that was like
I thought it was one of your guys.
Yeah.
♪♪
yeah, I heard it go that way.
- Yeah.
- That was weird.
I mean, it sounded like someone
was walking above us,
but there is an exit
down that way, so.
And I heard it continue down.
So if someone -- but we're
the only ones in here.
I actually had
a weird experience up there.
I was standing in that doorway
one night
actually waiting for richard
to finish up his ghost tour.
I got that weird feeling
like someone was standing there
and I heard those footsteps
just walk away, just like that.
- Oh, the same area?
- Same area.
- Huh.
- Interesting.
I was standing in that doorway
the one upstairs that we came in.
Upstairs, yeah.
- Entering the main museum.
- Yeah.
Huh.
What's interesting is rob said
he has heard this before
and that other people
have heard the same thing.
And I asked rob to point out
where those footsteps
would have had to be
and they would have had to be
right over over by
a case full of artifacts.
So I'm curious to see
if that case
has any significance
to our investigation.
Jack: We are going to
the powder magazine.
That's where they kept
all the gunpowder
and things that go boom.
♪♪
this is our powder magazine.
Down in here,
we get quite a bit
of paranormal activity.
Guests and visitors
that come that say
they see soldiers in here.
One of our most infamous
pictures that was actually
taken here at the fort
was taken right back here.
If you take a look at that.
Tell me that's not --
- oh, .
- Oh, wow. Whoa.
That's a man with an ax.
And where -- that would've been
right through here, right?
Right there in the back.
- Wow.
- Seems to be common here.
Yes, very.
Where do we go to
from here then?
All right, so we're gonna head
right back out this tunnel.
This tunnel way actually
collapsed during the siege
so people could've potentially
been trapped in here as well. Mm.
Take note
that the stonework here,
now, this is original
to the fort.
- Oh, wow.
- The stone.
The stone, not the brick.
The brick was put in in the '50s
to fill in this wall.
So potentially, blood could have
been spilled on those stones.
- Absolutely.
- Wow.
These are the cannons we shoot every
day, jack. Wow.
♪♪
all right,
so we're gonna head down
towards our eastern casemate.
Today we call it
our military crypt.
♪♪
just like the western casemate
over here at the east casemate,
people were brought
downstairs for safekeeping
during the siege and surrender
and some of them
were actually found during
early excavations of the fort.
- There's like five bodies here.
- Wow.
One's missing a leg
and one's missing a head.
- Whoa.
- Did they just find five?
They found five here.
And then there were
several others
that were excavated out
and where our cemetery is today.
Yeah.
All of those bones
have since been packed up
and either reinterred
or still out with forensic
anthropologists for research.
Is it your belief that there are
more bodies here? At the fort? Yes.
♪♪
a lot of times
in the paranormal,
we see a connection between
disrespected graves
or bodies and activity.
And I think fort william henry
is one of those places.
Jack: I think as the more
I'm learning about this place,
the more I'm understanding
as to why
it could be as haunted as it is.
It's an ongoing active
desecration site.
Rob had mentioned
that there are archives here,
which I'm really excited about
because going through those
and
Yeah, hold on.
♪♪
♪♪
I saw shadow
right here on this wall.
I mean, I saw it full on.
It wasn't even out of the side
of my eye, I saw it.
It just went And it wasn't
even a shape of a human.
I would say it was --
but it was tall
and kind of like oddly
shaped like this.
I don't know.
I don't have an answer for that.
I saw something.
During our tour,
I asked rob to point out
where those footsteps
would have had to be
and they would have had
to be right over
by the same area
where I saw the shadow.
So something seems active
in that area.
♪♪
♪♪
this is day two
of our investigation.
We're gonna meet
with franky today.
She's a paranormal
investigator and psychic
and she apparently had
a weird experience at the fort.
And I am curious to see
what she has to say.
You know, it's more in line
with the historical hauntings
or this other layer
that seems to be emerging,
something much more powerful
than just the typical
historical location haunting.
And I'm not sure how all of that
fits together just yet.
- Thanks for being here.
- Yeah, thank you for having me.
I know this meeting,
you were kind of nervous about it. Yes.
You're not too fond of
going back to the fort? No.
My mom is extremely sensitive,
myself as well.
And so the last time
me and my wife were here,
it was about 10 years ago or so.
You know, we came through,
we were doing
our little investigation.
And then I started
to feel like something
was like ripping my guts
out, literally. Ooh.
And I remember getting headaches
and I didn't feel good.
And I remember looking
at my wife, kim,
and saying,
"I don't want to be here anymore
"or something's going on,
something above and beyond
what usually happens."
and I don't remember much of
what was going on that week.
I just remember
feeling really off.
I was not acting like myself,
like, you know,
I was being mean to people.
I said something
about having a headache.
And then there was like another
voice that came out with mine
that wasn't mine.
- Interesting.
And, you know,
I was going through the store,
knocking things off shelves
and laughing about it,
like just all this, like,
really, like, off vile stuff.
I was doing that,
if you know me,
I'm, like, the happiest
person on earth.
So it's like that is not
in my character.
So it seems like you had
a pretty dark time. Yeah.
You know, that week after.
Do you think that you were
kind of, maybe, possessed?
Yes, I think it was possession.
My wife and my friends
were saying
that I was not
acting like myself.
Do you think that you were
kind of, maybe possessed?
Yes, I think it was possession.
It took a while for me
to snap out of it.
So when you were taken over
for that week,
who do you think it was
or what do you think it was?
Something extremely dark.
And I don't use
this word very often,
but I want to say vile energy.
Where is the vile energy
coming from?
The land.
There's so much blood
soaked into this ground.
It's just incredible.
Franky, how would you feel about
coming into the fort
with katrina and I?
I'm nervous, but I can.
You know,
franky's definitely been
impacted by this place.
The fort has definitely left
an imprint in her life.
You know,
we came in to investigate
kind of poltergeist hauntings
of the fort
and is kind of made
a bit of a hard
right into the negative evil
and borderline demonic.
Anytime anyone comes away
and they get physically ill,
I worry.
I'm just like .
I really want to play with this.
Katrina: I don't know
what's gonna happen.
Franky is psychic medium.
And she could go in there
and have another attack.
She could go in there
and get really emotional.
The last thing we want to do
is upset her,
make her feel uncomfortable.
But it would be really helpful
to retrace the steps
from the day
she had her experience.
So when jack and I go in
to do our investigation,
we can kind of put ourselves
back into her shoes
and see if we can
document anything.
- I'm having a moment.
- You feeling things already?
Yeah, my stomach's churning.
♪♪
where did you go first
on your investigation?
I remember going and being in the
courtyard area. Okay, let's start there.
That's where I remember being.
♪♪
so you guys were
walking around here?
Yep, pretty much.
And then I started feeling ill,
like when I got like to the cannon area.
Oh, right away.
Yep. Okay, so let's go stand
where you were standing before.
♪♪
I keep seeing young children,
you know,
lots of terror kind of,
energy, which is new
'cause I didn't get that last time.
Okay.
This is definitely an area,
you know, when you guys
come back in the evening,
this might be a place
that you want to focus on.
And be careful
Be careful of your
electronics tonight
because something drains
and fries electronics here.
Is that what happened to you?
No, that's what I'm hearing.
So you brought dowsing rods, I see.
Correct.
So why did you bring those?
When I'm trying to find where
the energy's off somewhere,
a lot of times I'll break
these out to ask my guides.
Is this true?
So this just kind of
gives me reassurance
that I'm hearing
what I'm really hearing.
All right.
Well, let's get started.
We have a couple places
I know we're focusing on.
Let's take you to the first one.
Okay.
See if you feel what
you felt before. Okay.
In the paranormal world,
it's thought that spirits
can move dowsing rods
to give the person
using them answers to questions.
♪♪
do you want to try your dowsing
rods in here? Yeah, I can.
Ask some questions,
see if you get any responses. Sure.
Okay.
[ speaks indistinctly ]
who are you talking
to you right now?
I'm talking to my guides.
I'm just trying
to set up protection
because these can be kind of
like using a ouija board.
So I just want to make sure
I'm having them kind of filter
what comes in.
- Can we ask questions, too?
- Yes, yes, please do.
Is there something negative
and intelligent
on this property?
♪♪
yep.
Is that negative
and intelligent entity,
the one who attached itself
to franky?
♪♪
point to whomever in here
it decides to attach to tonight.
♪♪
- gee, thanks.
- Yeah.
Is it just one negative entity?
That's a big no.
Is it just one negative entity?
That's a big no.
Jack: Theoretically,
some demonic entity
is gonna attach itself to me
and come home with me.
I'll surmise it in a nutshell.
I'm .
I'm feeling a little bit of
dread like pit of my stomach.
♪♪
katrina: Well,
let's get some devices.
And we'll set up some
experiments.
I kind of think one of the plans
should be we set up a device
in front of each camera.
- Mm-hmm.
That way whoever's
in the comfort of this warm,
toasty van can monitor
six instruments at once.
I think we should put
the footsteps tracker
in the museum because we heard
this footsteps. Good point.
I'll put a rem pod up
on the bastion. Yeah.
And we can put the other rem pod
in the entrance hallway
along with trail cams.
So if there's any motion,
we might be able to capture it.
♪♪
this is essentially
a laser transmitter,
and what we're doing is we're
running audio through this.
It's gonna transmit
through the laser
to a receiver at the end.
And when it hits that receiver,
it's gonna pump
the audio back out.
We're gonna play through
some cannon sound,
some wartime cries.
[ indistinct shouting ]
and we're gonna see if it
creates any kind of response
and when the audio is
transmitting between the lasers,
if anything breaks the laser
beam, the audio will stop.
♪♪
there we go.
♪♪
there it goes, yeah.
[ indistinct shouting ]
♪♪
♪♪
addison?
Hey, what's going on
with the cameras?
Well, we lost the camera
in the powder room
and the camera in the tunnel
on the way to the powder room
and we lost another camera.
So we don't really know
what's happening.
Slightly concerning
considering franky was like,
"oh, your cameras
are gonna go down
and jack's gonna get possessed."
oh, right.
Be careful of your
electronics tonight
because something drains
and fries electronics.
- I'm nervous.
- Yeah?
Yeah.
We should let them try
and figure this out
while we continue
to kind of setup.
Yeah.
♪♪
jack and I are pretty
much set up
for the night investigation
minus the camera issue,
we're working on that.
Did we figure out?
It's not canceled.
♪♪
so we're gonna do
a ghost box session.
We're also gonna do
a evp recording,
analog evp.
- Mm-hmm.
Jack: I like the analog
because it filters out less.
We can possibly pick things up
that a digital recorder
just wouldn't be able to.
So I guess why don't
we start back
where it started for everybody?
I mean, for us, we walked
right through the gift shop
and that's where richard was pushed.
Okay. I'm in.
Cool.
♪♪
♪♪
okay. I have a headache.
- You do?
- Yeah, that just kicked in.
This is where richard
was pushed, too.
And it felt like
somebody pushed me.
I slid all the way over
to the entranceway.
You turn this on,
like right here where he was.
Yeah.
♪♪
[ distorted voice ]
where are you?
[ distorted voice ]
- that was weird.
- Why is it doing that?
I don't know why
it's cutting out like that.
Katrina: This place is
definitely active.
You know, it's one problem after
the other and it's, you know,
maybe it goes beyond
coincidence at this point
where franky was giving us
a warning earlier today
about all of our equipment
dying on us.
I don't know it seems like that
warning turned out to be true.
So I'm wondering if this
is now a good time for us
to split up, cover more ground.
- Yeah. Okay. I'm into that.
♪♪
so far, it's been
really frustrating
just because of all
the technical issues
we've been having.
So I want to head down
to the casemate to see
if I can make contact
with jacob hardy,
the private rob told us about.
And then these names used
to be written in chalk
and we would come back
and every name except
for private jacob hardy
was erased.
Jacob hardy.
Are you in here?
How did you die?
It feels like the energy,
like, starts to build
and then dissipates.
This place is creepy.
There's no doubt
there's something going on here.
Katrina: Huh.
The sls is down.
That's camera number seven
to malfunction tonight.
♪♪
it stopped recording?
So camera eight.
Are you angry
that people are here?
♪♪
hey, jack?
Yes, katrina?
I'm gonna meet you in the van.
♪♪
- hey.
- Hi.
So let's scope the lasers
from the powder room. Okay.
Can set up some experiments
that way.
♪♪
yeah?
Where?
- Okay.
- Let's go.
It's in the museum?
Photos, back to back.
Nothing in them.
There's nothing there.
But it's going on.
It hasn't done it at all the entire night.
All right, okay, jack, ready?
Oh, okay. Yeah?
Where?
- All right. Let's go.
- Okay.
It's in the museum?
Photos back to back.
Nothing in them.
There's nothing there.
But it's going on.
It hasn't done it at all the entire night.
All right, okay, jack, ready?
♪♪
the trail cam was going off
and there was nobody in here.
- Where is the trail cam?
- It's right here.
This area does seem like
it's the most active.
And honestly, I think
probably because of all this.

was built mainly
because of a trade war
that was going on between the
french and the british -- mm-hmm.
And the french had built
a huge fort not far from here.
And so, the british decided to
build fort william henry.
You know, the fort, in its short
time that it stood,
saw a huge amount of tragedy.
You know, the french made
a lot of false promises
to the native americans,
especially the ones that they kind
of amassed into their army. Yeah.
The deal was you fight for us
and you could plunder
the fruits of war. Yeah.
And they didn't
really hold true to that.
So the french and the natives
attack the fort.
And after a six-day siege,
the british surrender,
the french basically
just let the british go
with all their plunder
promised to the natives.
The native americans decided
to ambush the british
and steal all their stuff.
And then they went back
to the fort
and killed everyone there
which was allegedly
hundreds of people
and then they burned it down.
So crazy, and ever since then,
people have been having paranormal
experiences -- absolutely.
For a really long time
and people have been
seeing, you know, soldiers,
obviously, is kind of the big one.

People have
a lot of late anomalies

Why are they still there?
Is it the tragedy

because there was
such a tragic thing,
it's opened a doorway to allow
paranormal activity to happen?

That way whoever's
in the comfort of this warm,

six instruments at once.
I think we should put
the footsteps tracker

the audio back out.
