Haunted Villa - Spirit Springs

- On this episode of Haunted Collector This is Silvio's Italian Villa.
One of the original owners committed suicide.
We've had a lot of issues with screaming.
Those flowers wilted within 25 minutes.
Oh, my God.
Welcome to Jordan Springs.
I have seen shadow figures, and you turn because you You really saw it.
There's definitely something dark here.
Keep your eyes open for anything.
- Holy (Bleep).
- What is that? Oh, my God.
This is no joke with this (Bleep).
What the Oh, my God.
My name is John Zaffis.
For over 40 years, I've been helping people with their paranormal problems.
I found that spirits can attach themselves to objects.
- Whoa! - Oh, there it goes! Oh, my God! And make life a living hell.
That's where my team comes in.
My son Chris.
My daughter Aimee.
Brian, my tech guy.
Jason, my researcher.
And Jesslyn, my investigator.
My job? - What is that? - Don't touch that thing.
Find the haunted item and remove it.
Because I am the Haunted Collector.
Come on in.
Hey, Johnny, is now a bad time? No, come on in.
- What's up? - I did bring a lead on a possible new case.
- Okay.
- All right.
Check this out.
Hello, John, my name is Frank Muto.
Um I'm sending you a request from Warwick, New York.
Here at Silvio's Italian Villa restaurant.
Where my wife Valentina and myself recently moved in.
Uh, we've been here for about three months.
And ever since then, the activity has just Increased to the effect that we can't sleep at night.
We have loud booms and noises always at the 3:00 hour here in the restaurant.
We've had customers who hear voices.
I I've personally had experiences where I've been Loudly screamed at by both a man and a woman.
My wife has been uh, grabbed.
John, we really need some resolution here.
We need to be able to work and live in this place.
Um, if you would consider us, we would really be grateful for all your help.
Well, it sounds like that's pretty intense.
And it sounds like him and his wife are having a rough time there.
- Yeah.
- All right.
Why don't you get a hold of everybody.
- Will do.
- All right, buddy.
Well, guys, welcome to Warwick, New York.
Now, Frank and Valentina are newlyweds.
And they basically had taken over the family business several months ago.
Working at a restaurant is hard enough.
I couldn't imagine not only living upstairs.
But living upstairs in fear and getting no sleep.
It must be extremely exhausting and stressful.
It's affecting his marriage, he's worried about the family business.
You know, I'm kind of hoping we can come up with either evidence.
Or able to disprove some of things that are happening in there.
So Frank and his wife can move forward.
Hey, Frank, John Zaffis.
Nice to meet you.
Come on in.
Okay.
This is Silvio's Italian Villa.
My family and I, we've owned this place for just about two decades.
We've always had activity, but until recently when we moved in here We moved in here just a couple of months ago, um Everything has just gone off the charts.
One time I was here and I was working, of course.
And I just felt something in my back touch me.
I thought it was him, because it was just me and him here.
And I turned around, there was nothing, nobody, and I was a little bit scared.
Are your restaurant patrons affected? Are they experiencing things? Yes.
Actually, this is our table 24.
Whenever people sit here, a lot of people, they want to move.
They don't know what's happening they just say you know I really need to move from this table.
And you see them visibly shaken.
And just uh, consumed with anxiety.
And once we move them to a different area, everything is more than fine.
Is there a particular reason that's happening over in this area, or Well, this room is actually where Roy Vail Uh, Roy Vail was a person who previously owned the Villa.
- Mm-hmm.
- And, uh, he was a famous gunsmith.
Uh, he was a very prominent figure here in Warwick.
And so was his wife, Edith Vail.
She passed on naturally, and he, unfortunately, committed suicide.
Uh, pretty much right where we're standing.
Anything uh, else happening in here? Yes.
If we put fresh flowers in here They wither right away, like the life taken right out of them.
One of our servers here has been experiencing a lot of paranormal activity.
Before you came to work here, did you hear rumors or stories about this place? No.
I hadn't heard anything until I started working here.
But it was very, very common to hear definite sounds of Of people going up and down the stairs.
We'd even get up and we'd kind of look around and go up.
And, I mean, I knew there was nobody up there.
And, actually, a woman came up to me and she said "You've got to go upstairs".
"There's somebody crying and wailing upstairs".
"You've got to see what's going on".
And I went up, and we went through and checked every room And certainly there was nobody upstairs.
This is the master bedroom.
Since the first night that we've been here, we've had a lot of issues with uh, screaming.
Do you know where it's coming from, or do you get up to go see if anybody is outside or in the building? It's like anytime I would, you know, yank open the door, take a look to see what's going on.
Or at least get a focus of where you heard the noise coming from.
It was just out of thin air.
When my wife and I were on our honeymoon in Egypt.
We uh, came across this mask.
They call it a passport, mainly from Liberia and the Ivory Coast.
As a young man was growing into maturity, this would actually be given to them.
It would actually allow them to participate in a lot of tribal meetings.
You have to remember, these things are hand-carved.
These items can definitely hold onto energy.
This is a portion of the attic where we found uh A Roy Vail sign, something that he must have uh, carved out himself.
It might have been part of Roy Vail's workshop.
We were up here uh, looking for something, and all of a sudden I just had this overwhelming sense of fear.
My leg literally just started to shake, and I even had tears coming out of my eyes.
That was very intense.
This is our basement.
We've had phenomenon where the electricity would be turning on and off repeatedly here.
Um, we most recently found a pocket watch.
- Where did you find it? - Right behind us.
Okay.
And it has an inscription on the back that says, "faithfully yours".
Do you have any idea whose it might be? Um, I honestly have no idea.
I'd definitely like to get my team in here.
You know, check some of the places and, some of the items that everybody was talking about.
- Okay? - Thank you very much.
- Okay, buddy.
- Thank you.
I've been losing a lot of sleep, uh, because of the activity that happens.
It's really been affecting my ability to maintain a restaurant.
If John and his team aren't successful.
I really don't know what I'm gonna do.
Yeah, of course I'm getting a small reading off the furnace.
That's to be expected.
The purpose of our baseline sweep is for us to accurately Record what EMF fields are being given in every room.
We'll be able to rule out things that are man made.
Wow, this is an old watch.
I'm not getting anything.
I'm not getting anything.
All right, let me go down and see what's going on down there with them.
- Hey, Johnny.
- What's going on? Hey, John.
I'm not getting too much out of the ordinary.
All right.
Well, a lot of the reported activity here seems to be happening late at night.
And focused around Frank.
That's leading to me to wanting to do an experiment.
Jason, how would you like to spend the night here by yourself? - Okay.
- Want you to focus in around the bedroom area.
Because that seems to be where Frank is having most of his experiences.
You got it, man.
If we can recreate those same conditions with Jason here.
By himself tonight, we may be able to capture the same activity.
Got everything? Yeah.
All right.
So Jay, the I.
R.
Camera is operational.
So when you go to sleep tonight, the camera's gonna catch you.
- Okay.
- I've got the camera for you.
Video camera, two extra batteries, and a battery charger.
Gotcha.
Now, I'm gonna be here all by myself, but we do have two cameras running all night.
So if anything does happen, we should be able to capture it on video.
I'm heading up to the attic.
"Ron Vail".
EMF readings are normal.
It's getting close to 3:00, so I'm gonna head up to the bedroom.
All right, I'll see what happens.
What the Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
What the Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
Hello? I just heard a woman screaming.
Oh, my God.
Try and make sure that there's nobody in here Because that was loud.
Is anybody in here? Hello? I'll do a quick EMF scan.
Hello? There's not much there.
It was about 3:45 when it happened.
Obviously, a woman screaming.
I cannot imagine going through that every night.
Well, there's not really much I can do from here.
Um, I don't know how.
I'm gonna see if I can actually get some sleep now.
I'm just gonna leave this camera on, just in case.
All right, how's everybody doing? Everybody get a little bit of rest? No.
Huh, with the exception of Jason, and that's understandable.
As you know, he spent an overnight here.
Jason, share it with everybody.
Last night at about 3:45, I was laying in the bed.
And I heard screaming, loud, right outside in the hallway, and I have that right here.
I'll play it for you guys.
What the What the What the It kind of sounds like a scream to me.
I definitely hear something, but it's so faint.
It's hard to tell if it's a scream or not.
I just know that I heard something that scared the crap out of me.
Jason is a solid investigator.
But what was caught on tape just isn't very clear.
In the paranormal field, you just don't always get clear-cut evidence.
Well, it was a pretty wild night for you, buddy, that's for sure.
So looking into this location, what we've heard so far is that the Vail's.
Literally had a history of tragic deaths within their family.
Edith Vail died of a heart attack, and Roy Vail actually committed suicide soon after.
So now, Aimee and I are going to go meet with a local historian.
To see what we can find out about the building's early history.
The house was built in 1790.
And the Ellis family lived there.
Martha and Levi.
They were married in 1793.
They were married for 44 years.
And then she found out her husband was an adulterer.
She decided to, uh, divorce him.
Oh, wow.
So they had a big trial in 1837.
I have, uh, documents.
These are all handwritten documents.
There it is, Martha Ellis vs.
Levi Ellis.
So it's listing the women's names.
There are at least five, wow.
So he actually had his mistresses living in the house? Yes.
She was basically, like, embarrassed and just made a mockery out of.
We've uncovered a lot of history behind this house.
We have the tragic death of Edith Vail.
And the suicide of her husband Roy.
Plus we have the scandalous divorce of Martha Ellis.
I'm not sure if any of this is causing paranormal phenomena.
Hopefully, we'll find out tonight.
All right, so this is table 24.
Frank keeps talking about the flowers always die very fast in that front room.
Well, I want to do a controlled experiment this evening.
So I'm gonna have Jesslyn and Aimee place flowers at table 24.
And one downstairs in the basement.
And we'll place clocks next to each vase.
So if the flowers do wilt, we'll know exactly how long it took.
Okay.
Yeah, that looks good.
I see the watch.
Okay, good.
Good setup, buddy.
Let's rock and roll.
Tonight, I want Chris and Brian to check out the main level of the restaurant.
And the basement.
While Jess, Jason, and I will be in the attic.
Let's get a quick scan.
Table 24.
Flowers still alive.
Yeah, they look good.
I'm not getting any readings.
Let's check the basement then.
Hang on a sec.
Hello.
What are you getting readings by? I don't know if this is coming off the vase or the watch.
Is there anything Let's see if I get any readings off of just the watch alone.
- Getting some.
- Point 4.
All right.
I got a few spikes over the pocket watch, but it's nothing that's so extreme.
That I feel we have to call in John.
But I'm still a little confused as to why that's happening.
Uh, EVP time? Sounds good.
Are you part of the Vail family? Frank, this is the room that he, you know, feels anxiety.
And had a deep emotional experience in here.
Try a couple of EVPs.
- Let's do it.
- Cool.
Can you tell me your name? Is there anyone here with us? Did somebody hurt you? Did you live here? Let's play that back, see if we have any leads.
Go ahead.
Is there anyone here with us? Did somebody hurt you? - Oh! - What? What's it say? He asked the question and then there's a pause.
And then I hear "Frank".
.
Are you hearing it? I'm hearing "Frank".
Did you commit suicide in this house? Are you the one that's been bothering Frank and his wife? Do you have a message for us to pass on? Maybe we should stop now and listen.
Yeah.
Do you have a message that you want us to pass on? Lies.
Holy (Bleep).
That was really clear.
It was a female voice, so obviously it's not one of us.
Sounds a little bit like "lies".
.
You know what, let's just show this to your Dad.
- Let's head out.
- All right.
Dude, check out the flowers.
Oh, wow.
Okay.
They are completely wilted.
What the hell? Wait, don't touch those, don't touch them.
You know what, let's just show this to your Dad.
Dude, check out the flowers.
They are completely wilted.
That was not like that before.
Wait, don't touch those, don't touch them.
The flowers Looked like they had been, uh, out for at least a week.
I can't give you a good explanation as to why.
- Hey, John, are you there? - Yeah.
What's up, buddy? Uh, we're actually in the basement, and, uh.
Flower test just got some results.
Oh, okay.
I'll head on down there.
- Uh.
- What's going on? Well, see for yourself.
You gotta be kidding me.
And, actually, we did hear on EVPs down here.
We heard a female voice that said "lies".
And earlier tonight, we got EMF readings on the watch.
Wow.
We got readings on the pocket watch tonight.
Plus Chris and Brian got an EVP saying "lies" near the watch.
And now we have flowers suddenly dying right next to the watch.
That's too much of a coincidence to me.
All right, I need to get it to an expert and see if we can date this.
Okay.
All right, good job, guys.
I'm gonna be taking this pocket watch to an antique shop.
A woman there by the name of Micki, she's an antiques expert.
I'm hoping she can answer some of the questions I have.
Trying to find out some history about it.
Okay.
Wow.
Very interesting.
And you can see here that it says "London".
Pocket watches, they were primarily for the very wealthy.
Because they were handmade.
This is called bubble glass.
Also a unique thing is it has a curved Dial.
So those two parts dates this Around late 1700s.
Oh, okay.
Hey, didn't we get some information about Uh, Martha Ellis getting married in 1793? Yeah, actually, Levi and her got married in that time frame.
Some of these things are actually starting to connect together.
- Thanks for taking the time out today.
- Thank you.
She's actually dating the watch from the late 1700s.
Does this fall into the time framing of Martha and Levi? Absolutely.
Frank, Aimee did a lot of research on the history and the property and everything.
And she's got quite a bit to share with you.
I started looking into Levi and Martha Ellis.
The Ellis's built the house in 1793.
They were married for 44 years.
And what we found was that Martha actually divorced Levi.
Because he was having affairs right here in the house.
So if you think of Martha Ellis, she was Probably ashamed, embarrassed, lived a very lonely and And sad existence until she passed away.
Which brings us into our investigation.
Now, the first night we had Jason stay over here in your bedroom.
To see if he can hear the scream that you were talking about.
This is what he recorded.
What the Oh, my God.
I hear something.
I'm not really sure.
Um, I really don't know what to think.
Okay.
I agree there's definitely a sound there.
But it's too difficult to draw any conclusion.
The next part of our investigation We were doing what we call EVP sessions.
Trying to capture, you know, the voices on tape.
And right now I'd like to play one of them for you.
And this was actually caught up in the attic.
Did somebody hurt you? Frank.
Is that my name? Yep.
Yeah? What's that supposed to mean? When I heard the voices saying my name.
Uh, it really scared me.
.
Yeah, that's "Frank".
It's definitely female.
Yeah.
Now there's another part with the flowers.
Okay.
We had set flowers up on the table.
We put flowers down in the basement.
So right now I'd like to show you something.
Oh, my God.
Those flowers actually wilted right over within 25 to 30 minutes.
Why is all this happening right in that area there? And I'm standing there and I'm looking, and what do I go towards? The old watch that was found.
It's possible that those flowers dying Meant to point us to that watch.
Well, I had taken it to an expert.
And they were able to date it.
At around the late 1700s.
It's basically inscribed, "faithfully yours".
That made me start to think about Martha.
Martha Ellis.
Now, she gave this to her husband.
What we found out, she was a scorned woman.
He was bringing women in when she was here.
And having all these scandalous affairs.
So you can imagine a lot of that energy could be attached to this.
You two are very much in love.
There's no doubt about that.
And it's a good possibility she's seeing that and reacting to it.
Lashing out going towards the males in the house.
Because you experience things, but no where like what Frank is.
The information that was given to me regarding Martha Ellis.
That definitely helped me understand Why I felt so targeted.
I will definitely make a recommendation to you That we remove the item out of the house.
If you want the item back, that is your item.
And it will definitely be returned to you.
I want to feel safe in my own home.
- Right? - That's right.
I think that's what we're ultimately looking for.
Okay.
The pain of a lover's betrayal can often linger even after death.
But by removing this remnant of an ill-fated marriage.
I'm hoping that the scorned spirit of Martha Ellis.
Can finally be at peace.
Hi, John.
I'm Tonie Wallace, and I am the owner of Historic Jordan Springs.
There has been an abnormal amount of Activity that we can't quite explain.
My employees hear Chairs move and furniture being pulled around.
We hear women's voices.
I have personally experienced an enormous number of shadow figures.
I feel threatened.
I don't know what they're trying to communicate.
I just need some answers.
Well, guys, here we are.
Welcome to Jordan Springs.
Something interesting about Jordan Springs.
Is the spring itself is actually very rich in minerals.
And people thought the spring had healing powers.
As a matter of fact, President F.
D.
R.
Came to the Springs to experience its healing powers.
Now, when speaking to Tonie.
She runs an event center near the Springs.
And they use the building for parties and weddings.
Lately, she's been experiencing some crazy activity.
She won't even go in the building at night by herself.
Why don't you guys, uh, get the equipment all set.
Aimee and I are gonna go meet with the client.
Jason, why don't you go talk to some witnesses.
- Tonie? - Hi.
- Hi.
John Zaffis.
- It's a pleasure.
I'm Tonie Wallace.
- Would you please come in? - Okay.
I would like to give you just a bit of background on the property if I may.
The property in 1549 was discovered by the Catawba Indians.
They founded the mineral Springs.
During the civil war, it became a hospital.
Then it was a monastery.
And my husband and I purchased it in 2001.
The property today is an event and cultural center.
All the time that we've been here.
My staff would say something like, you know, we hear furniture moving.
Or we hear people walking upstairs, but there's nobody there.
You play it down, you know, it's a big building.
In the past six months, it's just escalated.
I hear women's voices Doors closing.
I've had a shadow figure of this monk walk past you.
And And you turn because you You really saw it.
I consider myself a skeptic.
But something is going on.
This was the civil war hospital.
The blood of soldiers are beneath us.
Were you one of the soldiers that was treated here? Holy (Bleep).
Whoa.
What is that? This is no joke with this (Bleep).
There's been a lot of unexplained activity at Historic Jordan Springs.
Tonie, the owner of the building, is very scared and wants some answers.
These two pieces here of marble Uh-huh.
When the monastery came onto the property.
They put a statue up on top the hill.
Okay.
Someone knocked the statue over.
It broke.
They stole the head.
I didn't know what to think.
I immediately called the police.
I can't repair it, I have the statue still.
Standing up on top of the hill.
Do you have any time framing when this was disturbed? Do you know when Yes.
I want to say it was um In the past six or seven months.
Okay.
Tonie was showing me pieces of the statue.
Is this vandalism? Was something done, you know, just to be malicious? These are some of the things that I gotta look into.
This is the pub.
We've had guests come here and see shadows.
What they believe to be civil war nurses.
This was the civil war hospital so The blood of soldiers are beneath us in these bricks.
Now, here, this bottle Is a medicine bottle found just here on the South lawn.
Obviously, the Earth had washed away enough.
And I saw it in that condition in the dirt.
I wonder if this is Mercury.
Mercury back then was kind of a cure all.
You know Doctors then didn't realize the side effects of Mercury.
I mean, you're talking about Tooth loss, neurological damage, and intestinal damage.
You know, some of the soldiers that might have passed away down here.
Or if there was surgery done.
If you think about that, you know some of that energy, could definitely be lingering down in this area.
- Hey, Frank? - Hey.
- Hey, Jason.
It's nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you.
Coming in here, did you experience anything in here? Yeah.
As a matter of fact, I came into this room.
And felt this overwhelming negative energy enter It entered through the left side of my body and passed through my right side.
Into one of my colleagues.
And he literally felt as if he was being choked.
This is not the kind of guy to make up a story like that.
Do you feel that there's something negative in this building? There's definitely something dark here.
This is the billiard room.
When the monastery was here, a monk was known for making these kinds of decorative pieces.
He would hang them on all of the trees, and there were hundreds of them here.
And years later, this lady was wandering trough the woods and found some of these pieces.
She came back to the property and gave them to us, and at the time, I wasn't quite sure what they were.
What they used to do is they would make these different things, they'd hang them up in the tree.
The best thing that I can relate it to would be Native American dream catchers that they hang them all over the place.
Oh, okay.
And it was basically to scare the energy or the spirit off.
What makes me curious about these plates is why the monk felt the need to hang these in the woods.
What was he protecting this place from? The water still seeps, so, you know, obviously the Springs run all under here.
This natural stone grotto was put here when the monastery was here.
We've had guests see faces in the windows of the building.
They've described voices, uh, speaking some Indian language.
They see apparitions, shadows A lot of it happening right around the grotto area.
Wow.
There's so much here.
I'm gonna do everything I can to help you out, Tonie.
Thank you so much.
I really appreciate that.
You got it.
We got a lot of things to look at.
We have old bottles that came up through the ground.
We got those tins that the monk made.
And we have reports of a shadow figure roaming the grounds.
So I'm sending Aimee and Jason to see what they can find out about the history of the area.
While the rest of the team does the baseline sweep.
These medicine bottles are, uh, some of the things Aimee pointed out, right? God, could you just imagine the medicine back then? Getting a slight reading off of it.
Are you? Yeah.
Oh crap, 13.
6.
21.
23.
It's a bunch of refrigerators and That'll do it.
Stuff to keep beer cold.
So this was pretty much reading the bar not the medicine bottle.
All this electrical equipment was behind the bar.
So now we know it wasn't really the bottles of medicine giving off the readings.
All right, next room.
Watch your footing here.
What is that? Just a bottle.
What does it say? "Federal law prohibits sale".
Like prohibition? Can't say I disagree with Tonie.
She says you just walk around on this property and The things you'll find.
Well, it's so soft, I'm not surprised.
Let's try an EVP session out here.
Is there anyone out here with us? Did the land and the water mean something very special? What have we got over there? Actually, these are the plates that the monk actually made.
They're to ward off evil spirits.
Similar to like a dream catcher.
Well, I'm definitely not getting any readings.
Yeah.
Maybe we should do an EVP session.
First question, what's your name? Were you the one that made these disks? Are you the one that's been attacking people up in this room? Whoa.
Hold on a second, these cards just jumped off the table.
Are you the one that's been attacking people up in this room? Whoa.
Hold on a second, these cards just jumped off the table.
I heard them fall.
Do me a favor, get the meters.
So me and Brian actually start an EVP session.
But we didn't really get too far into it because Brian actually noticed cards just flew off the table in the next room.
- Anything? - No.
What could have caused that? Oh, is that open? Yeah.
Yeah, that window's open, breeze rolls in, hits the cards just enough for it to flip off.
All it took was a minute or two of some logical thinking.
Uh, to find out that it was the window being open The breeze blowing the cards off the table.
Let's at least close that window.
We didn't get any high readings or EVPs tonight on our baseline.
We'll just have to dig in deeper tomorrow.
And find out as much as we possibly can.
If there is something paranormal going on at Jordan Springs You know, it may not have anything to do with an object.
It could actually have to do with the land itself.
So we're gonna meet with a geologist.
And we're gonna see what we can find out about the land.
So Bill, the property that we're investigating.
It's had a lot of activity kick up in the past six months.
Do you know of any changes in the past year that could have affected that? The main change I know about is the earthquake that happened back in August.
This This earthquake was 5.
8.
As far as this area, I mean, is this something that happens a lot, or Or is this uncommon? Uh, it's uncommon.
There's been four earthquakes since 1811.
That's crazy.
That is crazy.
This is pretty good.
You guys really dug in to some really good stuff.
I can't really think of anything else that would disturb the land as much as, an earthquake like that so All right, that's making me look at things a little bit differently here.
We did our baseline, and we're not getting much activity here, guys, so I'm figuring I want to switch things up a little bit.
Before we split up and do our usual plan of attack.
I want us to work as a team.
All six of us will be in the pub.
We'll be doing a group EVP session.
Hopefully with all of us together.
We can make some contact.
Is everybody ready to rock and roll here? - Yeah.
Ready to rock and roll.
- All right.
- Recorders are rolling.
- Okay.
If there's anybody in here, we mean you no harm.
We would just like to make contact with you.
Were you one of the soldiers that was treated here? Did the earthquake that happened six months ago disturb you in some way? Now, we do know at one point in time, this was used as a monastery.
Did you make the metal disks that are upstairs in the billiard room? Did you hear that? I did hear that, some tapping? Where'd that come from? I don't know, I can't tell.
Is it about the land? It just did it again.
That sounds like it's coming from outside.
It is coming from outside.
I want you boys to go out there and go check it out.
- Where's that grotto? - There it is.
Hey, Jason and Jesslyn, I think there's a path over there.
- All right.
- Follow it.
Chris and I are going to take the right flank.
All I could think about is the artifacts that Tonie had found out in the woods.
And Jess and I found that bottle in our baseline sweep.
Could there be some kind of object outside that is tying in with the negative activity here? Not getting any readings yet.
Keep your eyes open for anything out of the ordinary.
Be quiet for one second.
Although I will say, if we do get any readings out here, it's gonna be plainly obvious where it's coming from.
- Which way are we going? - Uh, let's go up and around.
Hey we're having a pretty rough time up here.
It's really thick.
Are you guys okay? Yeah, we're good.
All right, let's move on.
Oh, yeah.
Did you get something? I just got a quick hit.
Ooh, it's going off.
And again.
- Whoa.
- Oop! There we go.
Hang on a second.
I got it and lost it.
Where are you? Where are you? Oh, there we go.
Now, here I was, tromping through the woods with my EMF detector.
And, you know, I'm not expecting any power lines.
Or any of the usual things that will trip it off.
But I'm getting a signal.
And I followed it to the base of this tree.
What's in here? - Look at that.
- What is that? Johnny, we found something at the base of one of the trees.
I'm on my way.
Hey, guys.
What you guys got? All right, stay right there.
Don't come any closer.
- Is John with you? - Hey.
- You got it? - I got it.
- What do you got? - All right, it's right there.
It kind of blends in with the dirt.
See the sticks right there, Dad? Whoa.
What is that? I got a good idea what this is.
Look at that.
What is that? I got a good idea what this is.
This is no joke with this (Bleep).
Right now I have a very strong feeling that this thing is Native American.
I know just the man I want to bring in.
All right, guys, let's get down off this hill.
All right.
Normally, once we discover an item.
We usually get it to an expert to see what we could find out about it.
But I just took one look at that item.
I knew it was something that couldn't be moved.
And, fortunately, I knew a Shaman in the area.
I've worked with him, I know him, and I trust him.
This is basically what got discovered.
That is interesting.
This style is Native American.
These fetish dolls, um, things like this are very powerful.
It's not specifically from a particular tribe or anything like that.
But this is the kind of magic that they would do.
In this case, because of the way it's set with porcupine quills Shoved into the head, it's designed to cause pain, to cause problems.
So if Tonie and the building are in the vicinity of the doll.
Could it be contributing to the activity? Absolutely.
I mean this is This isn't something someone just threw together.
This is serious stuff, and it's gotta be removed.
Okay.
I'm not sure whether this doll is causing the phenomena at Spirits Springs or not.
But I need to tell Tonie about our findings.
Tonie, we came in to investigate.
Last night, we were sitting in the pub to see if we were gonna get any EVPs.
Electronic Voice Phenomena.
I said, "does it have anything to do with the land?" And we did get a response.
So at that point I made a decision.
That I was gonna send all the kids out to just start looking around.
Let me show you a picture of what we found up there.
What is it? It's called a fetish doll.
And a fetish doll is, in Native American tradition.
Something that's created in a very malicious way.
And it looks like it's been here a long time? It's not deteriorated.
I mean, I would say anywhere within a year, even less than that.
It's possible that the doll was made by the same vandals who damaged your statue.
This is very unnerving.
When did you actually start seeing the figure in your office? In the past six or seven months.
The past six or seven months.
Now, we know we have those little plates that are upstairs that the monk made.
What I'm thinking was, the monk.
Was coming to you to help protect the property.
I mean, we're never gonna be a hundred percent sure.
You know, I gotta be honest with you.
I'm stunned.
Okay.
I'm It's hard for me to Verbalize right now.
Okay.
All right.
Now, normally, as you know, I remove items.
In this circumstance.
I'm gonna have the Shaman handle it.
If If you That's your recommendation I would have to defer to you.
Okay.
I wasn't prepared for something so Dark, so Frightening.
Now that the item has been removed.
I can look forward to The tranquility and the peace Here at Jordan Springs.
We'll probably never know the origin of the doll.
Or whether it really caused the activity that Tonie reported.
But removing it from the property might just make that negativity go away.
