Paranormal Survivor (2015) s02e04 Episode Script
Messages from Beyond
EVER SINCE SHE MOVED INTO HER GRANDMOTHER'S OLD HOUSE, JENNIFER HAD BEEN VISITED BY SPIRITS, BUT THE ACTIVITY HAD TAKEN A DARKER TURN.
Jennifer: WHEN I TURNED 14, IT ESCALATED.
Man: [ Distorted .]
COME JOIN US.
KILL YOURSELF.
IT WAS LIKE A BIG BAND OF THEM JUST STANDING AROUND MY BED.
THEY WERE STARTING TO TALK TO ME.
I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT IT WAS, SO I WAS JUST SCARED AND DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO.
I DIDN'T WANT TO BE THERE ALONE.
SOMETIMES I JUST STAYED IN MY ROOM 'CAUSE I DIDN'T WANT TO GO PAST THEM, AND SO I WOULD HOLLER FOR MY PARENTS TO GET THEM IN THERE.
MY PARENTS WERE LIKE, "IT'S JUS YOU.
YOUR MIND'S PLAYING TRICKS ON YOU.
" BUT I WAS LIKE, "I CAN HEAR SOMETHING.
YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND.
" COME HERE.
Narrator: THE SPIRITS RETURNED ON A REGULAR BASIS, ALWAYS WITH THE SAME MESSAGE.
THEY WANTED JENNIFER TO JOIN THEM.
Man: YOU SHOULDN'T BE THERE.
THEY WERE JUST TELLING ME THAT I SHOULD KILL MYSELF, AND "YOU DON'T BELONG HERE ANYMORE.
COME JOIN US.
" THEY WERE ALL LIKE TALKING A THE SAME TIME, BUT I COULD UNDERSTAND ALL OF THEM.
[ SCREAMING .]
IT LASTED FOR ABOUT AN HOUR.
IT WENT FROM LIKE 5:00 IN THE MORNING TO 6:00.
Man: COME HERE.
YOU SHOULD BE ON THIS SIDE.
YOU SHOULDN'T BE THERE.
KILL YOURSELF.
Jennifer: AND I CALLED THE POLICE AND HAD THEM -- I HAD TOLD THEM WHAT WAS HAPPENING, ABOUT HOW THESE VOICES WERE TELLING ME TO KILL MYSELF.
IT WAS JUST HORRIBLE.
IT WAS TERRIFYING AND SOMETHING YOU COULD NOT UNDERSTAND.
I WAS WOKEN UP AND MY WIFE TELLS ME, "HEY, YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO GET UP.
THE AMBULANCE AND FIRE TRUCK'S ON THEIR WAY TO OUR HOUSE.
" AND SHE GOES, "JENNIFER HAS HAD THOUGHTS OF SUICIDE.
" AND SO SHE CALLED 911.
I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO AT THA POINT.
[ HORN BLARING, SIRENS WAILING .]
Jennifer: I WENT INTO THE EMERGENCY ROOM AND THERE WERE, LIKE, A FEW PSYCHIATRISTS THAT CAME IN, THEY WERE TALKING TO ME.
JENNIFER WAS IN THE HOSPITAL FOR EIGHT DAYS TOTAL.
IT'S NOT A CASE OF MENTAL ILLNESS, HEARING SPIRIT VOICES.
MAYBE YEARS AGO THEY MIGHT HAVE THOUGHT THAT, BUT PEOPLE HAVE THE NATURAL ABILITY TO HEAR VOICES FROM THE OTHER SIDE.
BEFORE JENNIFER CAME HOME, WE ENDED UP CONTACTING HEART OF ILLINOIS PARANORMAL INVESTIGATORS.
I'VE BEEN WORKING AS A PARANORMAL INVESTIGATOR SINCE APPROXIMATELY 2007.
IT WAS OPPRESSIVE.
IT WAS A REALLY -- WHEN YOU WALKED IN THE BEDROOMS, THERE WAS REALLY A HEAVY FEELING, JENNIFER'S BEDROOM BEING THE WORST.
WE DETECTED MULTIPLE SPIRITS IN THE HOUSE.
THERE WAS MAINLY ONE IN HER ROOM, AND IT WAS MALE.
AND HE WAS ANGRY AND HE WANTED US GONE.
Narrator: JANICE IMMEDIATELY BEGAN A CLEANSE TO RID THE HOUSE OF THE MALEVOLENT FORCES.
WE WENT THROUGH THE HOUSE WITH SAGE, HOLY WATER, AND BLESSED SALT.
AND WE WOULD PUT SALT IN THE WINDOW, OR WINDOWSILLS, AND A THE CORNERS, IN THE CLOSETS, AND WE SAID PRAYERS FOR THE SPIRITS TO LEAVE.
WE ALWAYS SAY THE LORD'S PRAYER AFTER, AND WE PUT HOLY WATER, CROSSES, LIKE, ON THE WINDOWSILLS, AND THE DOORWAY WHEN WE LEAVE.
AND THEN WE'D GO TO THE NEX ROOM, DO THE SAME THING THROUGH EACH ROOM.
JENNIFER'S ROOM, YOU KNOW, WAS A LITTLE HARD.
GIVE US THIS DAY OUR DAILY BREAD" BECAUSE THE SPIRIT DIDN'T WAN TO LEAVE.
Bill: AFTER THEY PERFORMED THE BLESSING, IT GOT VERY QUIET IN THE HOUSE.
TO THIS DAY, I HAVEN'T HAD ANYTHING, NO NOISES OR ANYTHING HAPPEN THROUGHOUT THE HOUSE.
WHEN I WENT HOME, WHEN I GO HOME ACTUALLY, I WAS KIND OF NERVOUS, BECAUSE I DIDN'T KNOW IF THEY WERE STILL GOING TO BE THERE.
WHEN I GOT THERE, IT WAS SO DIFFERENT.
I MEAN, THERE WAS NOTHING.
IT WAS SO QUIET.
MY DAUGHTER ACTUALLY AT ONE POINT SAID THAT IT KIND OF FEELS WEIRD, BECAUSE NOTHING IS HAPPENING.
MY ROOM WAS JUST SO QUIET.
BUT I DO LISTEN TO MY MUSIC STILL, 'CAUSE I DON'T WANT TO HEAR ANYTHING, JUST IN CASE.
Narrator: NOT ALL SPIRITS ARE SO EVIL-MINDED.
THERE ARE THOSE WHO ARE HERE TO PROTECT.
"PARANORMAL SURVIVOR 2," ROBERT'S PHANTOM FIGHTER, STORY NUMBER 15, TAKE 1.
I MET RONNIE IN THE 9th GRADE, AND WE ENDED UP BEING PRETTY GOOD FRIENDS.
RONNIE WAS A JOKER.
IF THERE WAS A PARTY, HE WAS, LIKE, THE FUNNIEST GUY.
HE WAS JUST THAT ALL-AMERICAN KIND OF GUY.
Narrator: AN AVID BOXER, RONNIE ALSO LIKED TO FIGHT OUTSIDE THE RING.
Johnson: RONNIE WAS A SCRAPPER.
HE WAS THAT KIND OF GUY THA COULD HANDLE HIMSELF.
RONNIE WAS FIGHTING A KID.
WE NOTICED THAT HE WAS -- EVERY TIME HE GOT HIT, HE WAS DOUBLING OVER, AND WE RAN UP TO HIM, WE NOTICED THAT HE WAS BLEEDING EVERYWHERE.
AND THE KID THAT HE WAS FIGHTING WITH HAD A KNIFE IN BETWEEN HIS FINGERS, LIKE A LITTLE SHOR BLADE, AND EVERY TIME HE WAS PUNCHING HIM, HE WAS ACTUALLY STABBING HIM.
SO, RONNIE DIDN'T -- HE DIDN'T MAKE IT.
IT WAS HARD, IT WAS HARD.
HE WAS -- RONNIE DYING WAS A HARD HIT AT THAT AGE.
YOU KNOW, YOU'RE GOING TO LIVE FOREVER.
YOU KNOW, AND HERE'S THIS GUY THAT WE ALL LOOKED UP TO.
Narrator: 20 YEARS LATER, A FAMILY EMERGENCY BROUGHT ROBER BACK TO HIS ROOTS.
Johnson: MY STEPDAD DEVELOPED CANCER, AND TO MAKE IT EASIER ON MY MOM TO HELP OUT, I ENDED UP RENTING RONNIE'S MOTHER'S OLD HOUSE, BECAUSE IT'S DIRECTLY ACROSS THE STREET FROM MY MOTHER'S HOUSE.
Narrator: ROBERT HAD FOND MEMORIES OF THE HOUSE, BU STRANGE THINGS STARTED TO HAPPEN.
MY WIFE, SHE HAD COME DOWN TO VISIT ME, AND SHE HAD BROUGH HER DAUGHTERS WITH HER.
AND SO, WE WERE SLEEPING IN THE ROOM AND THE BED STARTED SHAKING.
AND WHEN I SAY "SHAKING," IT'S VIOLENT, IT'S NOT JUST A LITTLE BUMP ON THE BED, I MEAN, IT'S A BIG, HEAVY BED.
WHEN I FELT, LIKE, THE KICKING OF THE FOOTBOARD, IT WOKE ME UP, AND I WAS LIKE, FREAKED OUT, I WAS SCARED.
AND I WOKE ROBERT UP, AND I WAS LIKE, "I FELT THAT.
" IT JUST FELT LIKE WHEN YOU OPENED YOUR EYES, YOU WOULD SEE SOMEONE AT THE FOOT OF THE BED, MAYBE HITTING THE BED, BUT THERE WAS NEVER ANYONE THERE.
Narrator: THESE WAKE-UP CALLS HAPPENED EVERY NIGHT FOR WEEKS, EACH TIME AT 3:00 A.
M.
I WASN'T COMFORTABLE THERE A NIGHT.
IT WAS LIKE, SCARY.
I SLEPT REAL CLOSE TO HIM.
Narrator: DURING THE WEEK, ROBERT WAS ALONE.
HE HAD GROWN WEARY OF WAKING UP EVERY NIGHT AT 3:00 A.
M.
I HAD WORKED A PRETTY LONG DAY, AND I JUST, FOR SOME REASON, I HAPPENED TO FALL ASLEEP ON THE COUCH.
[ ALARM BEEPING .]
Narrator: SINCE MOVING INTO THE HOME OF HIS LATE HIGH-SCHOOL BUDDY, ROBERT JOHNSON HAD BEEN WOKEN BY STRANGE ACTIVITY EVERY NIGHT A 3:00 A.
M.
FOR SOME REASON, I HAPPENED TO FALL ASLEEP ON THE COUCH.
[ ALARM BEEPING .]
[ LOUD BANGING .]
Narrator: THAT DECISION SAVED HIS LIFE.
Johnson: I HEARD A LOUD SERIES OF BANGS, THREE LOUD BANGS IN THE HOUSE.
AND I WOKE UP AND I NOTICED THA IT WAS REALLY DARK IN THE HOUSE.
SO, THEN I NOTICED I COULDN' BREATHE.
AT THAT POINT, I REALIZED I SMELLED FIRE.
IT WAS SMOKE, SO I DROPPED TO THE FLOOR, AND WHEN I GOT ON THE GROUND, I COULD SEE THE FIRE PRETTY MUCH EVERYWHERE ON THE BACK TOWARDS THE BEDROOMS AND COMING DOWN THE HALLWAY.
AT THAT POINT, I REALIZED MY HOUSE IS ON FIRE.
SO I KIND OF CRAWLED TOWARDS THE DOOR, AND THREW SOME CLOTHES OUT, AND THAT'S HOW I GOT OUT OF THE HOUSE.
I LOST EVERYTHING.
THE HOUSE HAD A FAULTY ELECTRICAL SERVICE.
THEY ACTUALLY TRACKED THE FIRE DOWN TO ONE BREAKER, TO EXACTLY RIGHT WHERE IT HAPPENED.
THE FIRE INSPECTOR TOLD ME THA IF I WOULD'VE SLEPT IN THE BEDROOM, THAT I WOULDN'T HAVE MADE IT, BECAUSE IT WENT UP SO QUICK.
Salvas: HE WAS PRETTY SHOOKEN UP FROM THE FIRE.
HE TRIED TO LIKE, YOU KNOW, BE STRONG AND TOUGH ABOUT IT, BUT, YEAH, HE WAS PRETTY SHAKEN UP ABOUT IT.
I HAD SPOKEN TO MY SISTER WHO ALSO KNEW RONNIE.
AND SHE WAS LIKE, "OH, MY GOD," SHE WAS LIKE, "YOU'VE BEEN WAKING UP, BEING WOKEN UP A THIS TIME EVERY NIGHT, ROB, THA MEANS SOMETHING.
" AND SHE WAS LIKE, "I THINK THA IT WAS RONNIE TRYING TO GET YOU OUT OF THE HOUSE.
" SHE SAID, "I THINK THAT HE WAS JUST GETTING YOU PREPARED TO GE UP AND GO, EVERY NIGHT, EVERY NIGHT, 3:00, TO GET YOU UP AND OUT AND MOVING.
" SPIRITS BECOME GUARDIANS OF PEOPLE ON A DAILY BASIS, ESPECIALLY THE LOVED ONES, ESPECIALLY YOUR FAMILY MEMBERS AND YOUR FRIENDS.
IT'S NOT UNCOMMON TO HAVE A FRIEND OF YOURS YOU HAVEN'T SEEN FOR QUITE A FEW YEARS BECOME YOUR SPIRIT GUIDE AND HELP GUIDE YOU THROUGH THERE, AND YOU'D FIND OUT THROUGH A READING FROM A MEDIUM, OR EVEN GOING TO SEE PSYCHIC, OR EVEN VISITATION, YOU MAY SEE THAT PERSON THROUGH A DREAM OR PHYSICAL STATE.
WITH NOWHERE TO STAY, ROBER MOVED BACK TO HIS OLD HOUSE WITH WIFE TINA.
BUT AT NIGHT [ DOORKNOBS JIGGLING .]
WE WOULD ALL SLEEP WITH OUR DOORS CLOSED, AND YOU COULD HEAR THE DOORKNOBS.
[ JIGGLING CONTINUES .]
YOU COULD SEE THE DOORKNOB TURNING, AND YOU COULD HEAR IT, AND I WAS LIKE, "ROBERT, YOU HEAR THAT? ARE YOU AWAKE?" SOMETIMES AT YOUR DOOR, YOU'D ACTUALLY FEEL THE DOOR MOVING, WHICH COULD BE EXPLAINED AWAY, MAYBE THE WINDOW WAS OPEN, BU NOT THE DOORKNOB.
THERE'S NO WAY THE DOORKNOB'S GOING TO TWIST BACK AND FORTH.
Narrator: THE WAKE-UP CALLS SOON RETURNED.
Johnson: YOU'D STILL HAVE THE BED SHAKING.
YOU WOULD BE LAYING IN BED AND THE NEXT THING YOU KNOW, YOUR WHOLE BODY'S MOVING BACK AND FORTH.
THE BED'S LIKE SHAKING.
Salvas: THE BED SHAKING, I WOULD SEE LIKE A LARGE, DARK, BLACK SHADOW IN THE CORNER OF THE ROOM, AND IT JUST GAVE OFF, LIKE, JUST THE SCARIEST VIBE.
SPIRIT ATTACHMENT IS VERY COMMON.
IF A PERSON IS IN A SITUATION WHERE THEY'RE IN A HOUSE THAT'S ACTIVE, AND THAT SPIRIT HAS AN ATTACHMENT TO THAT PERSON, WHEN THEY MOVE FROM HOUSE TO HOUSE, IT'S NOT UNCOMMON FOR THA SPIRIT TO ALSO MOVE FROM HOUSE TO HOUSE.
Narrator: THIS SHADOW MADE ITSELF AT HOME.
Johnson: WE'VE SEEN FULL SHADOWS MOVE FROM ONE ROOM TO THE OTHER.
AND YOU JUST LOOK UP, AND IT'S LIKE SOMETHING NONCHALANTLY WALKS BY.
AND YOU'RE LIKE, "WOW, WOULD YOU LOOK AT THAT?" I WAS EATING, AND YOU JUST HEARD LIKE, THE LOUDEST THUD.
AND WHEN I FELT IT MOVE, MY FORK FLEW OUT OF MY BOWL, AND I WAS SPEECHLESS.
THEN THINGS TOOK A VIOLENT TURN.
ONE NIGHT, I WAS ASLEEP AND [ GROANING .]
[ SIGHS .]
IT FELT LIKE SOMETHING PUNCHED ME IN MY FACE.
I FELT MY WHOLE HEAD MOVE BACK INTO THE PILLOW.
I WOKE UP, THERE WAS, YOU KNOW, A RED MARK ON MY FACE, AND I KNEW I HAD BEEN HIT.
SOMETHING HIT ME IN THE MIDDLE OF MY SLEEP.
WHY IS THIS HAPPENING AGAIN? AND MY WIFE WAS JUST BESIDE HERSELF, LIKE, I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT ALL THIS IS GOING ON.
WE DECIDED THAT WE HAD TO REACH OUT TO SOMEONE.
IT WAS -- THERE WAS JUST TOO MUCH.
I NEEDED AN EXPLANATION.
I NEEDED TO KNOW, I MEAN, HOW DO YOU PROTECT YOUR FAMILY FROM SOMETHING THAT YOU CAN'T SEE, FROM SOMETHING THAT YOU CAN' TOUCH? TINA AND ROBERT BOTH SEEMED PRETTY SCARED BY WHAT THEY WERE EXPERIENCING.
LIKE MOST INVESTIGATIONS, WE SE UP OUR FOUR-CAMERA DVR SYSTEM.
WE SET THOSE UP IN LOCATIONS WHERE THE CLIENT HAS TOLD US MOST OF THE ACTIVITY IS TAKING PLACE.
THERE'S AN APPLICATION WE USE CALLED GHOST RADAR.
IT CAN GIVE YOU VOICES THROUGH IT, WHICH ARE CONSIDERED EVPs, ELECTRONIC VOICE PHENOMENON.
SPIRITS CAN TRY TO USE THESE THINGS TO COMMUNICATE.
Johnson: I HAD NO EXPECTATIONS.
I JUST -- IN ONE SIDE OF THE COIN, I WANTED THEM TO FIND SOMETHING, AND ON THE OTHER SIDE, I WAS LIKE, "THIS IS JUST NONSENSE.
JUST, WHAT ARE THEY GOING TO FIND?" Narrator: AFTER BEING ATTACKED IN HIS SLEEP, ROBERT JOHNSON CALLED IN PARANORMAL INVESTIGATORS TO FIND OUT WHO OR WHAT WAS TO BLAME.
Kenna: DURING THE NIGHT OF THE INVESTIGATION, WE COLLECTED A LOT OF DIFFERENT DATA.
ONE WAS A FEMALE VOICE, ONE WAS THE VOICE OF, SOUNDED LIKE A YOUNG GIRL OR A YOUNG CHILD, AND ANOTHER WAS A MALE VOICE.
ONE THING WE DID NOTICE THAT WAS KIND OF STRANGE, WE WOULD, TWO OF US WOULD GO INTO ONE ROOM TO DO AN INVESTIGATION.
WE STARTED ASKING SOME QUESTIONS, AND THEN WE HAD ANOTHER GHOST RADAR DEVICE IN ANOTHER ROOM, WHICH WE'D HEAR START TALKING, THAT NOBODY WAS IN.
AND THIS, I MEAN, IT HADN'T BEEN TALKING ALL NIGHT, AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN, IT STARTS TO TALK.
SO WE'D WAIT A FEW MINUTES, WE'D GO IN THAT ROOM, AND IT WOULD SWITCH BACK TO THE OTHER ROOM.
IT WAS ALMOST LIKE IT WAS PLAYING A GAME WITH US.
HE WAS DEFINITELY ABLE TO CONFIRM THAT THINGS WERE REALLY HAPPENING, THAT THERE WAS DEFINITELY SPIRITS IN THE HOME.
SOMETHING WAS STARTING TO TELL ME THAT MAYBE WE'RE DEALING WITH ROBERT'S FRIEND WHO HAD PASSED AWAY.
I SAT, JUST SAT ON THE EDGE OF THE BED, AND JUST TOLD SARAH I WAS GOING TO MEDITATE.
AND I DID.
I JUST CLOSED MY EYES AND BEGAN TO JUST MEDITATE, AND ASKING IN MY HEAD WHOEVER MIGHT BE THERE, SHOW YOURSELF TO ME OR COMMUNICATE TO ME.
AND I HAVE THIS STRONG VISION.
IT WAS LIKE ME LOOKING AT YOU.
TALLER GENTLEMAN, DARK HAIR, WELL-BUILT, CHISELED FEATURES.
JACK DESCRIBED HIS VISION TO ROBERT.
I SAID, HE WAS WEARING A LIGH BLUE SHIRT AND DARK SLACKS.
HE GOES, "WHAT DID YOU JUS SAY?" I SAID, "HE WAS WEARING LIGH BLUE SHIRT, DARK SLACKS.
" HE TOLD ME, HE GOES, "THAT'S WHAT HE WAS MURDERED IN.
" WHEN HE WAS KILLED, THAT'S WHA HE WAS WEARING.
IT WAS PRETTY CRAZY.
AND IT WAS JUST, YOU KNOW, HE WAS TELLING ME THESE THINGS, AND I JUST COULDN'T BELIEVE IT.
IT WAS LIKE, "WOW, THAT SOUNDS LIKE RONNIE.
" Kenna: I BELIEVE RONNIE WAS TRYING TO COMMUNICATE WITH ROBERT BY USING PHYSICAL FORCE, 'CAUSE THEY HAD ALWAYS DONE THAT IN THEIR TEENS.
ALWAYS JUST HITTING EACH OTHER, FIGHTING TOGETHER.
AND I REALLY THINK IT WAS RONNIE WHO HAD HIT HIM THAT NIGHT.
Narrator: IT WAS THE NEXT MORNING BEFORE JACK COMPLETED HIS INVESTIGATION.
I DID DO A CLEARING OF THE HOUSE, AND WE DID ASK ANYTHING THAT WAS NEGATIVE TO LEAVE.
I DID TELL RONNIE HE COULD STAY.
IF HE WAS THERE, HE COULD STAY BECAUSE HE'S ROBERT'S FRIEND.
AND I KNEW HE WOULDN'T BE THERE TO DO ANY HARM TO ROBERT.
I FEEL OKAY IF RONNIE'S THERE.
MAYBE HE'S MAKING SURE THA THINGS DON'T GET TOO CRAZY.
AFTER JACK LEFT, YOU FELT THA HEAVINESS GO AWAY IN THE HOUSE.
DIDN'T FEEL SCARY.
YOU FELT TOTALLY DIFFERENT IN THE HOUSE.
AND THAT WAS A GOOD FEELING TO HAVE THAT HEAVY FEELING GO AWAY.
DO I THINK THAT RONNIE'S STILL WITH ME? YES.
Jennifer: WHEN I TURNED 14, IT ESCALATED.
Man: [ Distorted .]

" Kenna: I BELIEVE RONNIE WAS TRYING TO COMMUNICATE WITH ROBERT BY USING PHYSICAL FORCE, 'CAUSE THEY HAD ALWAYS DONE THAT IN THEIR TEENS.
ALWAYS JUST HITTING EACH OTHER, FIGHTING TOGETHER.
AND I REALLY THINK IT WAS RONNIE WHO HAD HIT HIM THAT NIGHT.
Narrator: IT WAS THE NEXT MORNING BEFORE JACK COMPLETED HIS INVESTIGATION.
I DID DO A CLEARING OF THE HOUSE, AND WE DID ASK ANYTHING THAT WAS NEGATIVE TO LEAVE.
I DID TELL RONNIE HE COULD STAY.
IF HE WAS THERE, HE COULD STAY BECAUSE HE'S ROBERT'S FRIEND.
AND I KNEW HE WOULDN'T BE THERE TO DO ANY HARM TO ROBERT.
I FEEL OKAY IF RONNIE'S THERE.
MAYBE HE'S MAKING SURE THA THINGS DON'T GET TOO CRAZY.
AFTER JACK LEFT, YOU FELT THA HEAVINESS GO AWAY IN THE HOUSE.
DIDN'T FEEL SCARY.
YOU FELT TOTALLY DIFFERENT IN THE HOUSE.
AND THAT WAS A GOOD FEELING TO HAVE THAT HEAVY FEELING GO AWAY.
DO I THINK THAT RONNIE'S STILL WITH ME? YES.
