Ghosts of Shepherdstown (2016) s02e05 Episode Script
Now You're In The Sunken Place
1 I RELEASED A CURSE [ Distorted .]
CURSE.
[ Echoing .]
FROM SHEPHERDSTOWN.
King: AFTER THE PARANORMAL TEAM WRAPPED UP THEIR INVESTIGATION LAST SUMMER, THINGS HAVE CERTAINLY DIED DOWN IN SHEPHERDSTOWN.
THAT'S FOR SURE.
THE PROBLEM IS, I'M BEGINNING TO GE ALL TYPES OF STRANGE REPORTS FROM THE NEIGHBORING TOWNS.
YOU KNOW, MAYBE IT'S BIGGER THAN WHAT I THOUGHT.
WOW.
MAYBE IT'S BIGGER THAN SHEPHERDSTOWN.
LAST YEAR, WE HAD A VERY SIGNIFICANT SPIKE IN UNUSUAL EMERGENCY CALLS.
I GOT TO TELL YOU, I'VE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE I IN MY 36 YEARS OF POLICE WORK.
I ASSEMBLED A TEAM OF TOP PARANORMAL INVESTIGATORS TO HELP US SOLVE SOME OF THESE BIZARRE CASES.
Saint: THERE'S SOMEBODY HERE.
Groff: GO, GO, GO.
FOLLOW IT.
THERE'S A NEGATIVE PRESENCE HERE! A LOT OF FOLKS ALREADY BELIEVE SHEPHERDSTOWN IS THE MOS HAUNTED TOWN IN THE COUNTRY, BUT NOW THE DARK PRESENCE IS BACK.
[ SCREAMS .]
AND IT'S SPREADING.
-- Captions by VITAC -- CAPTIONS PAID FOR BY DISCOVERY COMMUNICATIONS Hartley: WE'RE HEADING TO THE ADAM STEPHEN'S HOUSE IN MARTINSBURG BECAUSE YOU KNOW I'VE BEEN REALLY DIGGING IN, TRYING TO FIND US SOME WAY OF ACCESSING THIS CAVE SYSTEMS, AND FAR AS I KNOW, THIS IS ACTUALLY THE ONLY REMAINING OPENING TO ANY OF THE CAVE SYSTEMS IN ALL OF JEFFERSON COUNTY.
Saint: WOW.
OKAY.
PARANORMAL ACTIVITY IN TOWN SQUARE IN SHEPHERDSTOWN IS GETTING WORSE.
IN ALL OF OUR CASES WE BEEN TO LATELY, THERE SEEMS TO BE SOME SORT OF DARK, NEGATIVE PRESENCE THAT'S VERY AGGRESSIVE.
WE HAVE A NEW THEORY THAT THIS DARK ENTITY IS USING THESE UNDERGROUND LIMESTONE CAVE SYSTEMS TO TRAVEL FROM ONE TOWN TO THE NEXT.
THERE IS A OPENING IN THE CAVE SYSTEMS UNDERNEATH THE HOUSE.
-OH, REALLY? -YEAH.
NORMALLY, WE DON' INVESTIGATE LOCATIONS UNLESS WE GET A CALL FOR HELP, BUT AFTER DISCOVERING THAT MASSIVE CAVE SYSTEM IN OUR LAST INVESTIGATION, WE'RE COMPLETELY REVAMPING HOW WE DO THINGS.
Mitchell: IT'S NOT JUST CHARLESTOWN.
THERE'S A WHOLE NETWORK OF TUNNELS AND CAVES.
CAN YOU GO DOWN THERE ANYMORE? NO, THEY'RE COMPLETELY SEALED OFF.
THIS NEGATIVE IS DOWN THERE.
IT'S HUGE, AND IT DOESN' WANT US DOWN THERE.
Hartley: NOW WE'RE TRYING TO GE AHEAD OF THESE HAUNTINGS BY BEING PROACTIVE AND INVESTIGATING THIS HISTORIC MUSEUM IN MARTINSBURG.
IT HAS DIRECT ACCESS TO THE LIMESTONE CAVES THAT WE BELIEVE THA THIS DARK PRESENCE IS USING.
YOU KNOW, THE ELEMENTS THAT MAKE UP LIMESTONE, PARTICULARLY, SOMETIMES QUARTZ IS PRESENT IN IT.
RIGHT.
IT REALLY HAS THE ABILITY TO AMPLIFY PARANORMAL ACTIVITY OR SPIRITUAL ENERGY.
WELL, NOT EVEN JUS SO MUCH ENHANCE BUT ALSO KIND OF TRAP.
EXACTLY.
YES.
MAYBE SHEPHERDSTOWN IS NOT EXPERIENCING SO MUCH ACTIVITY RIGHT NOW BECAUSE, AS FAR AS I KNOW, THERE'S NO CAVE ENTRANCES THERE.
YEAH, I AGREE.
SO I FIND IT REALLY INTERESTING THAT I TALK TO KEITH, WHO RUNS THE MUSEUM AND THE HOUSE THERE.
I MEAN, HE'S BEEN THERE FOR 25 YEARS AS A CARETAKER, AND HE TELLS ME THAT, JUST RECENTLY, THE ACTIVITY IN THAT LOCATION HAS SPIKED.
-OH, REALLY? -YEAH.
I MEAN, IT'S GOT TO BE MORE THAN JUST A COINCIDENCE, RIGHT? YEAH, I AGREE.
LOOK.
THERE IT IS.
-YOU GUYS READY? -YEP.
-LET'S DO IT, GUYS.
-LET'S GO.
OH, WOW.
WE'RE IN MARTINSBURG RIGHT NOW AT THE ADAM STEPHEN'S HOUSE.
WANT TO TALK TO KEITH.
HE'S WAITING UP HERE.
Hammersla: HI.
ARE YOU BILL? Hartley: HEY, KEITH.
HOW YOU DOING? SO ACTIVITY HAS REALLY ESCALATED IN THE LAST WELL, HOW MANY DAYS WOULD YOU SAY? IN THE LAST WEEK, IT'S GOTTEN REALLY BAD.
DOORS HAVE CLOSED BY THEMSELVES.
OBJECTS HAVE BEEN MOVED.
PEOPLE HAVE SEEN APPARITIONS.
Saint: AND IT'S IN THIS HOUSE RIGHT HERE? YES, IN THIS OLD STONE HOUSE.
THE HOUSE WAS BUIL IN THE 1780s BY ADAM STEPHEN.
GENERAL ADAM STEPHEN WAS A REVOLUTIONARY WAR LEADER AND THE FOUNDER OF MARTINSBURG.
HE CHOSE THIS LOCATION BECAUSE OF THE CAVE PROBABLY TO HAVE AN ESCAPE ROUTE IN CASE THERE WERE AN ATTACK BY THE NATIVE AMERICANS OR THE BRITISH OR SOME OTHER FOES OF HIS.
I CAN SHOW YOU THE CAVE ENTRANCE.
-YEAH.
-OKAY.
COME ALONG.
COME ON IN.
BACK HERE.
Saint: WHAT THE Groff: OH, MY GOD.
THIS IS AWESOME.
WOW.
THIS CAVE IS 40 FEET DEEP, AND THE ONLY WAY TO GET DOWN INTO I IS TO RAPPEL ON THIS ROPE.
Hartley: I'M NOT DRAWING ANY EMF FROM IT.
Groff: THIS IS THE FIRST TIME WE'RE SEEING THE CAVE ENTRANCE.
WE'VE BEEN TRYING TO FIGURE OUT ANY ACCESS WE CAN GAIN TO GET DOWN THERE.
WE FEEL A LOT OF THE PARANORMAL ACTIVITY LEADING US TO DIFFERENT CAVES HAS BROUGHT US TO THIS POINT, SO THIS IS PIVOTAL FOR US IN OUR INVESTIGATION.
IS THERE LIMESTONE DOWN THERE? THIS WHOLE CAVE SYSTEM IS LIMESTONE, AND IT'S VERY EXTENSIVE.
IT COVERS A NUMBER OF BLOCKS UNDER THIS PART OF TOWN.
YEAH, AND, LIKE, THIS IS LITERALLY THE ONLY CAVE ENTRANCE THAT I COULD FIND ANYWHERE.
WELL, ACTUALLY, THERE IS ANOTHER CAVE OPENING ON THIS PROPERTY ABOUT 500 FEET FROM HERE.
OH, WOW.
ON THIS PROPERTY? -ON THIS PROPERTY? -YES.
Hartley: ALL THE OTHER CAVES IN THE AREA ARE SEALED, SO WE'RE HOPING THA GETTING DOWN INTO THIS CAVE WILL GIVE US SOME ANSWERS AS TO WHAT IT IS WE'RE CHASING.
IS THAT A EASIER WAY TO GE IN AT THAT CAVE SYSTEM? Hammersla: IT'S MUCH EASIER THAN RAPPELLING ON A ROPE.
-CAN WE GO THERE? -SURE.
WE CAN CHECK IT OUT.
ALL RIGHT.
LET'S GO OVER THERE.
OH, AND I WANT TO TELL YOU ABOUT ANOTHER STORY THAT HAPPENED OUTSIDE.
-OKAY.
I WAS STANDING UP AT THIS BUILDING WHEN I NOTICE A GREENISH MIST UP HERE TO THE RIGH OF THE STONE BUILDING.
SO TO THE RIGHT OF THE HOUSE OVER THERE? YES.
WAS WALKING OUT THE HOUSE ONE EVENING AND I SAW A STRANGE GREEN GLOW.
I KNEW THAT IT WASN' FOG OR SMOKE BECAUSE IT SEEMED TO MOVE WITH A PURPOSE.
THE GREENISH MIST FLOATED UP THAT WAY, WENT ACROSS THE TRACKS AND INTO THE WOODS OVER THERE.
-WOW.
-OH, WOW.
I MEAN, THAT'S REALLY A LONG TIME FOR SOMETHING TO BE MATERIALIZED FOR US.
YEAH.
Groff: WAS THAT HEADED IN THE DIRECTION OF THE SECOND CAVE OPENING? YES, ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE TRACKS HERE.
WE KNOW WATER IS A SPIRITUAL CONDUCTOR, AND IN SOME CASES, SPIRITS CAN ACTUALLY MANIFEST THEMSELVES THROUGH CONDENSATION, SO THE MIST THAT KEITH SAW COULD BE INDICATIVE TO SOMETHING PARANORMAL.
WHAT I WANT TO KNOW IS, IS THIS MIST SOMEHOW RELATED TO THE DARK PRESENCE WE'VE BEEN FOLLOWING THROUGH ALL OF OUR INVESTIGATIONS? Hammersla: THIS HOUSE IS OWNED BY THE CITY.
IT'S PART OF THE ADAM STEPHEN COMPLEX.
Groff: LOOKS LIKE A MOONSHINER ENTRANCE OR SOMETHING.
COME ON DOWN.
GOING INTO CAVE NUMBER TWO RIGHT NOW.
Saint: WOW.
THIS IS AWESOME.
Saint: THIS ENTRANCE AND THE ONE UNDER THE ADAM STEPHEN HOUSE, THEY'RE BOTH MADE ROUGHLY AT THE SAME TIME? Hammersla: YES.
SOME STONE MASONS WHO HAVE DATED THIS BARREL-VAULTED CEILING HAS SAID THAT IT DATES FROM ABOUT THE 1780s.
Hartley: NICE.
Groff: LOOK AT THIS.
SO IT IS ABOUT THE SAME TIME AS THE ADAM STEPHEN HOUSE.
IN FACT, WE BELIEVE THAT THESE TWO TUNNELS CONNECT TO EACH OTHER.
-OH, THEY CONNECT? -YES.
Groff: SO THIS IS ALL CLOSED OFF TO, LIKE, THE PUBLIC AND EVERYBODY? -IT IS.
-OKAY.
THIS IS AMAZING.
Hartley: HEY, GUYS, WE'VE GOT A BUCKE AND SOME FRESH DIRT OVER HERE.
SOMEONE HAS BEEN DOING SOME DIGGING DOWN HERE RECENTLY.
THERE'S A COUPLE SHOVELS DOWN HERE, TOO.
HAS SOMEBODY BEEN DIGGING IN HERE? WELL, WE HAVE A GROUP THAT HAS BEEN WORKING WITH US TO REOPEN THESE TUNNELS.
HOW LONG HAS THA BEEN GOING ON FOR? JUST A COUPLE WEEKS RECENTLY.
I MEAN, THIS COULD BE THE CAUSE OF ALL THE PARANORMAL ACTIVITY SUDDENLY KICKING UP.
YEAH, I MEAN, THINK ABOUT JUS WHEN WE TALK ABOUT HOUSES, AND YOU DO RENOVATIONS, AND I SEEMS TO STIR UP ACTIVITY.
CONSTRUCTION IS A WELL-KNOWN TRIGGER FOR PARANORMAL ACTIVITY.
IT DISRUPTS THE FOUNDATION AND CAUSES DORMAN SPIRITS TO AWAKEN.
I MEAN, THIS COULD REALLY BE THE CAUSE FOR ALL THE ACTIVITY THAT'S BEEN HAPPENING RECENTLY.
THERE HAVE BEEN CAVES NEAR ALL OF OUR PREVIOUS CASES, AND IF THIS CAVE ENTRANCE IS UNDERGOING CONSTRUCTION AND IF IT'S, IN FACT, CONNECTED TO ALL OF THE OTHER CAVES, THEN THAT COULD BE REALLY THE REASON WHY WE HAVE THIS RISE OF PARANORMAL ACTIVITY IN THE TOWNS OUTSIDE OF SHEPHERDSTOWN.
THIS IS PRETTY INCREDIBLE.
[ CREATURE GROWLS .]
DID YOU HEAR THAT? -I DID HEAR SOMETHING.
-DID YOU HEAR THAT? YEAH, I HEARD SOMETHING COME FROM THERE.
IS THERE SOMEONE DOWN THERE? IT WAS, LIKE, A GROWL OR SOMETHING.
YEAH, YEAH, THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I HEARD.
[ CREATURE GROWLS .]
DID YOU HEAR THAT? Groff: YEAH, I HEARD SOMETHING COME FROM THERE.
IT WAS A GROWL, RIGHT? YEAH, YEAH, THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I HEARD.
IS THERE SOMEONE DOWN THERE? I'M GOING TO CHECK SOMETHING OUT REALLY QUICK.
YEAH, GO AHEAD.
JUST WANT TO SEE SOMETHING.
BILL, ARE YOU GETTING ANY READINGS RIGHT NOW? FLAT LINE THE WHOLE TIME WE'VE BEEN DOWN HERE.
THAT'S WEIRD.
MAN, THIS LOOKS LIKE A CRAZY DROP-OFF.
HOW FAR DOES IT DROP OFF? Hammersla: THAT'S ABOU A 20-FOOT VERTICAL DROP, AND THEN I GOES HORIZONTAL AGAIN.
Saint: WOW.
IF WE'RE TALKING CAVE SYSTEMS THAT CONNECT WITH OTHER CAVE SYSTEMS IN MULTIPLE TOWNS Hartley: RIGHT.
I'M NOT SURE WHA WE'RE GETTING OURSELF INTO.
YOU KNOW, WITHOUT HAVING OUR OWN LITTLE ROAD MAP, WE COULD END UP LOST UNDER THERE.
ACCORDING TO KEITH, NO ONE KNOWS HOW THESE CAVES CONNECT, WHICH IS WHY THEY'RE DIGGING DOWN HERE TO BEGIN WITH.
KEITH IS GOING TO PUT IN TOUCH WITH THE GUYS HE'S WORKING WITH TO TRY TO GIVE US A LITTLE MORE INFORMATION.
IS THERE ANYBODY ELSE YOU THINK WE SHOULD TALK TO? YOU COULD SPEAK TO ONE OF OUR OTHER VOLUNTEERS, ROSE.
SHE'S HAD A LOT OF WEIRD EXPERIENCES AT THE HOUSE, AND SHE'S SHOWING THE MUSEUM TODAY.
YEAH.
SHE'S HERE NOW.
I MEAN, NO BETTER TIME THAN THE PRESENT.
LET'S GO TALK TO HER.
-YEAH, LET'S HEAD BACK UP.
Hammersla: COME ON.
SHE'S IN THE MUSEUM.
HI, ROSE.
-HI.
NICK AND ELIZABETH AND BILL.
Saint: HI, ROSE.
NICE TO MEET YOU.
THIS IS AMAZING.
Groff: WAS THIS ALL FOUND ON THIS PROPERTY? Hammersla: A LOT OF IT WAS FOUND HERE IN BERKELEY COUNTY, AND THEN OTHER PIECES WERE DONATED BY PEOPLE IN OUR COMMUNITY.
ANTIQUES POSSIBLY HAVE ATTACHMENTS.
YEAH.
THEY ALL HOLD SOME SORT OF ENERGY AND HISTORY.
YEAH.
SO, ROSE, THE TEAM JUST WANTS TO PICK YOUR BRAIN ABOUT SOME OF THE HAUNTINGS AND THINGS THAT HAVE BEEN HAPPENING HERE RECENTLY.
BEFORE YOU GUYS DO THAT, I'M GOING TO BACK OUTSIDE AND SEE IF I CAN GE ANY READINGS.
ALL RIGHT.
I GOT MY WALKIE, BILL.
Hartley: I WANT TO KNOW MORE ABOUT THIS MIST THAT KEITH SAW, SO I'M GOING TO DO A SWEEP ALONG THE SAME PATH WHERE HE WITNESSED IT.
AND IF THIS THING IS HANGING OUT BY THE CAVES, I SHOULD BE ABLE TO PICK UP UNUSUAL READINGS USING MY REM ANTENNA ON THE MEL METER.
DO YOU TAKE A WALK DOWN THIS PATH OFTEN? I'M NOT GETTING ANYTHING ON EMF.
Groff: SO KEITH MENTIONED THA YOU HAD SOME EXPERIENCES.
MM.
DO YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT SOME OF THEM? I'M A LITTLE APPREHENSIVE SAYING IT ON TELEVISION.
LIKE, WE TOTALLY UNDERSTAND, BUT IT WOULD REALLY HELP US IN OUR INVESTIGATION AND WOULD HELP OTHER PEOPLE THAT ARE WORKING HERE, TOO.
WELL, I THOUGH I WAS LOSING MY MIND.
WHY DO YOU THINK THAT? BECAUSE I SEEN SOMETHING THAT I CANNOT EXPLAIN.
WELL, WHAT DID YOU SEE? Saint: I MEAN, HONESTLY, IT'S OKAY.
WE'RE REALLY HERE TO HELP YOU, AND WHAT YOU JUST SAID I HEAR SO MANY TIMES BECAUSE PEOPLE DON'T THINK THAT OTHERS HAVE THE SAME EXPERIENCE AS THEM, AND THEN THEY FIND OU EVERYBODY HAS THESE EXPERIENCES, WHETHER THEY REALIZE IT OR NOT.
OKAY.
ABOUT A WEEK AGO, I WAS LOCKING UP THE MUSEUM.
AND I WAS HEADED TO MY CAR WHEN I NOTICED A MIST FORMING.
AT FIRST, I THOUGH THE CLOUD WAS FOG, BUT CLOUDS DON'T NORMALLY GLOW, AND THEN THAT'S WHEN IT FORMED INTO WHAT I SAW.
THE MIST FORMED INTO A FIGURE OF A MAN WEARING RELIGIOUS GARBS.
IN PLACE OF HIS EYES THERE WAS DARK BLACK HOLES.
[ SHRIEKS .]
AND I RAN IN HERE, LOCKED MYSELF IN.
I WAS QUESTIONING MY SANITY.
I THOUGH I WAS LOSING MY MIND, AND IT WAS QUITE SCARY, ACTUALLY.
AND WHAT TIME OF DAY WAS THIS? THIS WAS AT NIGHT, ABOUT 9:00 AT NIGHT.
SO THIS IS, LIKE, THE SAME TIME THAT YOU EXPERIENCED Hammersla: RIGHT.
THAT AS WELL WAS, LIKE, 8:00, 9:00 AT NIGHT.
THAT WAS ABOUT THE SAME TIME AT NIGHT.
YES.
[ METER BEEPS .]
Hartley: WHOA.
WE'RE GETTING A MAJOR SPIKE ON THE MEL METER RIGH OUTSIDE OF THE ENTRANCE TO THE CAVES.
I KNOW YOU GOT LOUDER ON ME.
DO YOU NOT WANT ME IN THIS SPOT? IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE TRYING TO WARN ME? [ BEEPING CONTINUES .]
YOU'RE DEFINITELY NOT GOING CRAZY.
IT SOUNDS LIKE THE EXCAVATIONS GOING ON KICKED UP SOMETHING, AND MAYBE THIS IS TRIGGERING SOME SORT OF ACTIVITY.
THIS THING THAT YOU'RE BOTH SEEING MOVES FROM THE HOUSE, WHICH WE KNOW THAT THERE IS AN ENTRANCE OVER THERE IN THE FOUNDATION, AND IT'S MOVING ACROSS THE TRAIN TRACKS, WHICH IS IN THE DIRECTION OF THE OTHER HOUSE WHERE THAT OTHER CAVE ENTRANCE IS.
-UH-HUH.
-MM-HMM.
I'M NOT SURE IF IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE CAVE SYSTEMS, BUT THAT'S WHAT I'M GOING TO SPECULATE ON RIGHT NOW.
YEAH, ABSOLUTELY.
[ BIRDS CHIRPING .]
[ METER BEEPING .]
SOMEBODY IS HERE.
I REALLY APPRECIATE YOU SHARING YOUR INFORMATION WITH US, ROSE, YOUR EYEWITNESS ACCOUNT.
-HEY, GUYS.
-SORRY.
-YEAH, I GOT THE WALKIE.
-IT'S BILL.
YOU GOT IT? -HEY.
WHAT'S UP, BILL? Hartley: WANT TO GIVE YOU A HEADS-UP.
I'M HAVING SOMETHING OUT HERE ON PATH WHERE THE GREEN MIST WAS SEEN.
Groff: WE'RE ON OUR WAY.
HEY, WHAT'S UP, BILL? Hartley: I'M HAVING SOMETHING OUT HERE ON THE PATH WHERE THE GREEN MIST WAS SEEN.
Groff: WE'RE ON OUR WAY.
YOU WANT TO COME WITH ME? SURE.
HEY, BILL.
WHERE ARE YOU RIGHT NOW? WHERE DID HE GO? -HEY, BILL! -YES? -WHAT'S GOING ON? Hartley: AND IT'S BEEN DOING IT THE ENTIRE TIME I WALKED UP HERE.
STARTING FROM THE SIDE OF THE HOUSE UH-HUH.
COMING DOWN THE PATH, THE SAME PATH THAT KEITH WAS TAKING WHERE HE SAW THE MIST.
THERE'S A REM ANTENNA HERE THAT GIVES OFF AN ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELD, SO WHEN ANYTHING COMES IN THE VICINITY TO BREAK THAT FIELD, IT GOES OFF.
ARE YOU HERE NOW? CAN YOU MAKE THE METER GO OFF TO SHOW MY FRIENDS YOU'RE HERE? IT'S GOING TO MAKE A LIAR OUT OF ME NOW.
CRAZIEST PART OF ALL THIS IS THEY'VE ACTUALLY HAD THE SAME EXPERIENCE WITH THE DARK GREEN MIST.
-YEAH.
THE INTERESTING THING ABOUT HER EXPERIENCE WAS IT ACTUALLY TURNED INTO A MAN THAT WAS WEARING RELIGIOUS ATTIRE.
Hartley: YOU MEAN LIKE A PRIEST? -YEAH.
-WOW.
SO ARE YOU A MINISTER OR A PRIEST OR SOMETHING? HE'S GOTTEN QUIE SINCE YOU GUYS CAME AROUND.
WHEN WAS I THE STRONGEST? ALL THROUGH THIS WHOLE PATH.
-OH, REALLY? -YEAH.
THE SAME PATH IN WHICH YOU SAW THIS GREEN MIST GOING ON.
BECAUSE THIS MIST TRAVELS IN A VERY REPETITIVE PATTERN, IT SAYS TO ME THA WE COULD POSSIBLY BE DEALING WITH SOME SORT OF RESIDUAL HAUNTING.
A RESIDUAL HAUNTING IS AN IMPRINT ON THE SPACE.
IT'S USUALLY CAUSED BY SOME SORT OF TRAUMATIC EVENT, THIS LOOPED PLAYBACK OF SOMETHING THAT HAPPENED BEFORE.
I'LL ACTUALLY GIVE LORIE A CALL, AND SHE COULD COME BY AND DO A PSYCHIC SWEEP, AND WE CAN GET HER PERSPECTIVE ON EVERYTHING.
[ TRAIN WHISTLE BLOWS .]
Johnson: TODAY, I WAS CALLED IN AT THE ADAM STEPHEN'S HOUSE TO DO A PSYCHIC SWEEP.
WHAT I DO IS, IS I READ ENERGY OFF THE HOUSE AND ALSO THE PROPERTY.
COME THIS WAY.
A LOT OF PEOPLE ASK ME WHAT MY GIFTS ARE, AND WHAT WORK I DO IS USUALLY CALLED A PSYCHIC MEDIUM.
I LIKE CALLING MYSELF THE VOICE OF THE UNKNOWN.
I'M HERE TO TELL THEIR STORY AND TO GIVE THEM CLOSURE.
I'LL FOLLOW YOU.
OH, YEAH.
I'M BEING PULLED.
YEAH.
I NEED TO GO DOWN.
THEN IT TURNS.
[ BELL CLANGING .]
WHATEVER IT IS, IS DRAWING ME BACK TO THAT HOUSE.
DO YOU WANT ME TO TAKE YOU THERE? YEAH, LET'S GO THERE.
Saint: LORIE DOESN'T KNOW THIS, BUT SHE'S ACTUALLY BEING LED DOWN THE SAME PATH THAT KEITH AND ROSE SAW THIS TRAVELING GREEN MIST FORM.
I THINK THIS KIND OF SUPPORTS MY THEORY THAT WE'RE DEALING WITH SOME KIND OF RESIDUAL ENERGY, AND AT THIS POINT, WE REALLY NEED TO FIGURE OU WHAT TRAUMATIC EVENT HAPPENED AT THIS LOCATION THAT WOULD LEAVE SUCH A POWERFUL IMPRINT ON THIS SPACE.
SO THIS IS WHERE KEITH TOOK US YESTERDAY.
OKAY.
LET ME SEE SOMETHING.
MM-HMM.
THERE'S PEOPLE IN HERE, ELIZABETH.
HONEY, THERE'S SOMEBODY IN HERE.
I HAVE TO GO IN, AND THERE'S MORE THAN ONE.
BE CAREFUL.
WE HAVE A MALE IN FRONT OF US.
HE'S NOT BAD.
HE'S NOT BAD? NO, HE'S MAKING ME FEEL, LIKE, SADNESS.
I FEEL SHAMED.
HE JUST SAYS, "TWO.
" WHAT DOES "TWO" MEAN? I DON'T KNOW.
-HE SAID, "COME HERE.
" -COME HERE? HERE WE GO.
OH, HONEY, HE'S STANDING ABOVE IT, AND HE KEEPS GOING LIKE THIS, AND HE'S POINTING DOWN THERE.
DO YOU THINK THERE'S SOMETHING HIDDEN DOWN THERE? -YOU REALLY WANT MY OPINION? -YEAH.
I THINK THERE'S DEAD BODIES DOWN THERE, HONEY.
I THINK THERE'S DEAD BODIES DOWN THERE, HONEY.
SO YOU THINK IF WE WERE TO GO DOWN THERE, THERE'S A POSSIBILITY THAT WE COULD FIND THE REMAINS OF DEAD BODIES? YEP.
I DON'T KNOW.
I HAVE TO LOOK.
I KEEP ALL I SEE IS A MALE'S LEG, BUT THERE'S SOMETHING ELSE FURTHER DOWN.
I HAVE TO LOOK.
THE MALE IS NO DANGEROUS OR EVIL.
UM HE HAS A CROSS, AND I CAN SEE JESUS ON IT.
IT SOUNDS LIKE A CRUCIFIX.
-YEAH.
-HE COULD BE CATHOLIC.
MOST DEFINITELY.
CAN YOU TELL WHA TIME PERIOD HE'S FROM? HE WAS HERE A LONG TIME AGO, LIKE, A COUPLE HUNDRED YEARS.
[ CREATURE GROWLING .]
THERE'S SOMETHING NEGATIVE DOWN THERE DEMON, BY THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT, I COMMAND YOU TO LEAVE THIS EARTHLY PLACE! BECAUSE I KEEP HEARING A GROWL, LIKE, A [GROWLS.]
NICK AND I HEARD A GROWL COME FROM THE CAVE ENTRANCE.
SO IT WAS WARNING YOU.
BUT WHY IS THAT NEGATIVE HERE? WE HAVE TO FIND OUT WHY.
Saint: I THINK THAT LORIE IS TUNING IN TO THE SAME PRIES THAT ROSE SAW, AND IF LORIE IS RIGHT ABOUT HIM BEING A CATHOLIC PRIES ON THIS PROPERTY A COUPLE HUNDRED YEARS AGO, THAT AT LEAST NARROWS IT DOWN FOR DANA, OUR LOCAL HISTORIAN, TO DIG UP SOME HISTORY AND REALLY IDENTIFY WHO HE IS.
CATHOLICISM WAS NOT COMMON IN THE COLONY OF VIRGINIA.
THE FIRST CATHOLIC CHURCH IN MARTINSBURG WASN'T BUILT UNTIL 1825.
WOW.
BUT THERE WERE A FEW CATHOLIC PRACTITIONERS.
THEY WOULD HOLD MASS IN PEOPLE'S HOUSES, AND THERE'S GREAT EVIDENCE THAT CATHOLIC MASS WAS HELD IN THE ADAM STEPHEN'S HOUSE WHEN THE O'FERRELL FAMILY LIVED THERE.
Groff: OH, THAT'S INTERESTING.
THERE'S A LETTER DATED 1791 ADDRESSED TO BISHOP JOHN CARROLL.
IT WOULD APPEAR THAT FATHER DENNIS CAHILL WAS IN CHARGE HERE AT THAT TIME, SO IN FACT, A PRIEST NAMED FATHER DENNIS CAHILL DID DO SERVICES IN MARTINSBURG, AND IT WOULD'VE BEEN THAT HOUSE.
THAT WAS A CATHOLIC FAMILY.
SO THERE IS A SMALL POSSIBILITY THAT THE SPIRI THAT EVERYBODY HAS BEEN SEEING, THIS MIST, THIS PRIEST, COULD POSSIBLY BE HIM? -IT COULD BE.
-IT'S POSSIBLE IT COULD BE HIM.
-YEAH.
-HEY, GUYS.
-HEY, MIKE.
-HEY, MIKE.
-HOW YOU DOING? -GOOD TO SEE YOU.
LOOK, I'VE CHECKED ALL THE RECORDS.
THERE IS NO RECORD OF ANY BODIES BEING FOUND IN THE CAVES UNDER ADAM STEPHEN'S PLACE.
-OKAY.
-NONE? OKAY.
NONE.
NOW I GOT AN OLD FRIEND OF MINE, BOB BENNETT, AND HE IS A MEMBER OF THE TRICOUNTY GROTTO CAVING CLUB.
NOW, HE TELLS ME THEY ARE ACTUALLY THE CLUB THAT IS EXCAVATING SOME OF THESE CAVES DOWN THERE.
EVEN THOUGH THERE'S NO OFFICIAL MAP OF THE CAVE SYSTEMS, THE TRISTATE GROTTO CAVERS WERE ABLE TO PROVIDE ME WITH A MAP OF ALL THE KNOWN ENTRANCES HERE IN JEFFERSON COUNTY.
I JUST HOPE SOMEHOW THIS INFORMATION CAN HELP THE TEAM GET AHEAD OF THESE HAUNTINGS.
PRETTY MUCH EVERYTHING YOU GUYS ARE LOOKING FOR.
-OH, MY GOSH.
-YEAH.
LOOK.
IT MENTIONS ALL THE MATERIALS.
-YEAH.
-HERE'S JEFFERSON.
Groff: YEAH, THE PINK IS THE HIGHEST CONCENTRATION OF LIMESTONE IN THE AREA.
SO THAT'S EXACTLY WHERE -IT'S RIGHT WHERE WE ARE.
-WOW.
-THAT'S TELLING.
-CAN I SEE THIS? -YEAH.
-THIS IS CRAZY.
-ACCORDING TO THE MAP, THERE'S A CAVE ENTRANCE IN SHEPHERDSTOWN HERE.
WAIT.
CAVE IN SHEPHERDSTOWN? YEAH.
DO YOU SEE THAT? I DIDN'T KNOW THAT.
I DIDN'T EITHER.
I HAD NO CLUE.
LET ME MARK THESE ON OUR BOARD.
SHEPHERDSTOWN.
SO WE HAVE ADAM STEPHEN'S HOUSE, CAVE.
YOU GUYS, YOU KNOW, EVERY CASE THAT WE'VE WORKED ON SO FAR IS IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO ONE OF THESE CAVE ENTRANCES.
WE HAVE MARTINSBURG, SHEPHERDSTOWN, SHARPSBURG, HARPER'S FERRY, CHARLESTOWN.
ALL OUR CASES HAVE BEEN DIRECTING US TO THESE AREAS.
THE FACT THAT THERE ARE CAVE ENTRANCES NEAR ALL OUR PREVIOUS CASES IS A HUGE BREAKTHROUGH FOR US.
NOW WE HAVE TO GET DOWN INTO THE CAVES AT THE ADAM STEPHEN'S HOUSE AND CONFRON THIS NEGATIVE ENTITY BEFORE IT SPREADS ANY FURTHER.
YOU'RE HEADING IN THE RIGHT PATH.
THE REASON WHY I ASKED MS.
ROSE TO COME HERE IS BECAUSE, SINCE SHE'S ALREADY SEEN THE APPARITION OF THE PRIEST, THAT MAKES ME FEEL THA HE'S ACTUALLY COMFORTABLE WITH HER ALREADY.
OH [BLEEP.]
I ACTUALLY BELIEVE THA ROSE CAN HELP US COMMUNICATE TO THIS PRIEST.
Hartley: IF THERE IS ANYTHING DOWN THERE, THIS WILL BE OUR BEST BE TO ACTUALLY FIND IT.
ALL RIGHT.
JUST BECAUSE THERE'S NO OFFICIAL RECORD OF ANYONE DYING DOWN HERE DOESN'T MEAN IT DIDN'T HAPPEN.
BODIES COULD STILL BE DOWN THERE.
SO I'M GOING TO BE USING WHAT'S CALLED A THROWBOT.
IN MOST CASES, YOU WOULD ACTUALLY THROW IT, AND HENCE THE NAME IS CALLED A THROWBOT.
NOW, FOR US, WE'RE GOING TO LOWER IT INTO THE CAVE.
BECAUSE THESE CAVES ARE TIGHT AND NARROW, IT'S GOING TO BE HARD FOR ANYONE TO GET DOWN THERE PHYSICALLY.
IT HAS NIGHT-VISION CAPABILITY AND A CAMERA, SO DROPPING THIS IN WILL GIVE US ACCESS TO SPOTS THAT NO ONE WILL EVER SEE.
-YOU READY? -YEP, I'M READY.
Hartley: SO I'M GOING TO LAUNCH THE THROWBOT IN CAVE TWO WHERE LORIE AND ROSE ARE.
MEANWHILE, NICK AND ELIZABETH ARE OVER AT CAVE ONE, WHICH IS DIRECTLY UNDERNEATH THE MAIN HOUSE.
Bob: LET'S GO AHEAD AND GET THEM ON, AND THAT WAY, WE CAN GO DOWN THE HOLE.
-JUST STEP ON THROUGH? -YEAH.
BOB IS A CERTIFIED GUIDE FROM THE CAVING SOCIETY WHO IS ACTUALLY GOING TO MAKE SURE THAT NICK AND I ARE SAFE COMING IN AND OUT OF THESE CAVES TONIGHT, AND ONCE WE'RE DOWN THERE, WE REALLY WANT TO TRY AND COMMUNICATE WITH THIS NEGATIVE ENTITY WHO WE BELIEVE IS THE CAUSE OF THE SPIKE IN PARANORMAL ACTIVITY IN ALL OF THESE TOWNS.
SO WHAT CAN WE EXPECT ONCE WE'RE DOWN THERE AT THE BOTTOM? OKAY.
A LOT OF PEOPLE WORRY WHEN THEY GET DOWN INTO A CAVE BECAUSE THEY SAY, YOU KNOW, "IS IT GOING TO COLLAPSE?" WELL, ANYTHING COULD HAPPEN.
THERE'S BEEN ACCIDENTS IN CAVES JUST LIKE THERE HAS ANYTHING ELSE.
YEAH.
I'M A LITTLE NERVOUS RIGHT NOW.
ROCKS COULD FALL ON OUR HEAD.
THERE COULD BE LIMITED OXYGEN SUPPLY DOWN THERE, AND THERE'S THIS NEGATIVE PRESENCE THAT COULD BE WAITING FOR US DOWN THERE.
-YOU READY? -YEAH.
YOU NERVOUS, SCOTT? YEAH.
[ BOTH LAUGH .]
THERE GOES BOB.
Bob: TIGHTEN THIS ROPE NOW AND PULL.
PULL IT BACK UP.
SO BOB JUST GOT TO THE BOTTOM PART OF THE CAVE.
WE'RE UP NEXT.
OKAY.
ELIZABETH, SEE YOU AT THE BOTTOM.
Saint: ALL RIGHT.
WOW.
HOLY CRAP.
THIS IS STEEP.
WHOO.
COMES STRAIGHT DOWN.
I CAN SEE WHAT YOU'RE SAYING, HOW DANGEROUS IT IS.
ALL RIGHT.
I'M THERE.
ALL RIGHT.
LOOK AT HOW TIGH THESE SPACES ARE, MILLIONS OF YEARS OLD RIGHT HERE.
PRETTY INCREDIBLE.
WATCH YOUR FOOTING.
-[BLEEP.]
-HOLY [BLEEP.]
WHOA.
OH.
-[BLEEP.]
-HOLY [BLEEP.]
WHOA.
OH.
Bob: CAREFUL.
YOU'LL KICK DOWN ROCKS.
GO STRAIGHT DOWN NOW.
Groff: LEAN MORE BACK.
THERE YOU GO.
-WOW.
-WHOA.
IT'S AMAZING DOWN HERE.
-IT'S ALL LIMESTONE, RIGHT? -YEAH.
YOU CAN SEE THESE ARE BIG CHUNKS.
SO HOW FAR ARE WE RIGHT NOW? RIGHT NOW, WE'RE ABOU 35, 38 FEET UNDERGROUND.
IS THERE ANY OTHER CAVE SYSTEM, LIKE, GOING THIS WAY RIGHT HERE? THIS LOOKS LIKE IT DROPS DOWN.
IT ACTUALLY GOES DOWN FURTHER.
-YEAH, RIGHT.
AND THAT'S WHAT WE'RE THINKING, BEHIND SOME OF THESE BOULDERS HERE, THAT THERE'S A PASSAGE.
AND THIS WOULD GO ACROSS THE RAILROAD TRACKS -YEP.
-TO THAT OTHER HOUSE YEAH.
WHERE THAT MAJOR CAVE ENTRANCE IS.
RIGHT.
SO LORIE HAD VISIONS OF DEAD BODIES HERE IN THIS CAVE, AND I WANT TO TRY TO FIND EVIDENCE TO BACK THAT UP.
YEAH.
ARE YOU SEEING THIS? Johnson: OH, WOW.
WHAT IS THAT? LOOKS LIKE A PAIR OF ANTIQUE SCISSORS DOWN THERE.
NOW I'M NOT SURE WHAT KIND OF THAT'S JUST AN ARTIFACT.
ROSE -YES? YOU WOULD KNOW.
HAVE THEY EVER FOUND ANYTHING IN THESE CAVES? YEAH, THEY FOUND SOME OLD BOTTLES AND THINGS LIKE THAT.
ANY SCISSORS OR ANY KINDS OF EQUIPMENT? I'VE NEVER KNOWN THEM TO FIND ANY SCISSORS.
NO.
THESE SCISSORS ARE A REALLY COOL FIND, BUT I'M NOT REALLY SURE HOW IT'S RELEVANT TO THIS CASE.
SO THIS IS THE DEVICE THAT I MADE.
IT'S A MOTION DETECTOR THAT UTILIZES DOPPLER RADAR, AND IT'S SENSITIVE ENOUGH ACTUALLY TO DETEC ANY KIND OF MOVEMEN OR OSCILLATIONS ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THESE WALLS.
ALL RIGHT.
SO I'M ALSO BRINGING OU MY MEL METER, AND IT GIVES OFF ITS OWN ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELD, AND IF AT ANY POINT, ANYTHING BREAKS THAT FIELD, IT'LL SOUND THIS AUDIBLE TONE.
[ METER BEEPS .]
Johnson: I'M GOING TO DO A REMOTE REVIEW.
WHAT A REMOTE REVIEW IS, IS ACTUALLY TAKING MY MIND DOWN INTO THE CAVES TO LOOK AROUND THE SURROUNDINGS.
I WANT TO SEARCH FOR THE SOULS THAT ARE DOWN THERE.
OH [BLEEP.]
GUYS.
I SEE THE PRIEST.
OH, WOW.
THERE'S TWO DEAD BODIES DOWN THERE.
OH.
HE TRIED TO PROTECT THEM.
HE WAS JUST TOO LATE.
THE PRIES HAS SO MUCH GUILT.
I THINK THIS IS THE REASON WHY HE'S HOLDING HIMSELF EARTHBOUND.
I THINK THE PRIEST WAS TRYING TO SAVE THE TWO SOULS THAT ARE DOWN THERE.
THEY WERE SICK, AND I BELIEVE THAT, BECAUSE HE KNEW THEY WERE SICK, HE TRIED TO GIVE THEM THEIR LAST RITES, BUT IT WAS TOO LATE BY THE TIME HE GOT BACK, AND THEY DIED.
THESE SPIRITS ARE TRAPPED, AND THEY NEED TO BE RELEASED.
Groff: DO YOU HAVE MY RECORDER? YEAH, I DO ACTUALLY.
YEAH, LET ME TRY THAT.
ALL RIGHT.
ROLLING ON THE RECORDER.
LET'S JUST SIT HERE FOR A COUPLE SECONDS AND JUST NOT SAY ANYTHING.
[ SCRATCHING .]
-YOU HEAR THAT? -LISTEN.
[ SCRATCHING .]
WHOA! WHAT WAS THAT? [ METER BEEPING .]
YOU HEAR THAT? THERE'S SOME SCRATCHING ON THE OTHER SIDE.
-BOB, YOU HEARD THAT, RIGHT? -I HEARD SOMETHING.
SOUNDED LIKE -- ALMOST LIKE DIGGING.
WHOA! CAN THERE BE ANY ANIMALS ON THE OTHER SIDE? DOUBTFUL BECAUSE ALL THE ENTRANCES HAVE BEEN CLOSED OFF, SO NOTHING COULD GET IN.
-RIGHT.
AND THIS IS WHERE WE THINK THE ENTRANCE TO THE OTHER CAVE LEADS.
-YEAH.
WHAT'S ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THAT CAVE? LET'S DO THESE BLESSINGS, GUYS.
LET'S SEND THESE SOULS TO THE LIGHT.
I'M GOING TO DO A BLESSING WITH THE HOLY WATER FROM THE CATHOLIC CHURCH.
SINCE THE PRIEST DIDN' GIVE THEM THEIR LAST RITES, I'M GOING TO HAVE TO DO IT FOR HIM.
ETERNAL REST GRANTED TO THEM, OH, LORD, AND LET LIGHT SHINE UPON THEM.
MAY THEY REST IN PEACE.
WITH THE FATHER, THE SON.
YOU'RE RELEASED FROM THIS BURDEN.
GUYS, THERE'S FOG COMING OUT OF THE HOLE.
YEAH, SHE JUS RELEASED THE SPIRITS OF WHAT WAS DOWN IN THIS CAVE, AND NOW IT APPEARS THAT THERE IS SOME SORT OF FOG COMING OUT FROM THE HOLE, WHICH I CAN'T EXPLAIN.
THAT NEGATIVE IS TRYING TO GAS US OUT.
[ METER BEEPING .]
-HOLY CRAP.
-OH, MY GOD.
Groff: YEAH, THAT'S CRA IT'S, LIKE, OFF THE CHARTS.
IT'S, LIKE, DANCING AROUND.
SHE JUST RELEASED THE SPIRITS OF WHAT WAS DOWN IN THIS CAVE, AND NOW IT APPEARS THAT THERE IS SOME SORT OF FOG COMING OUT FROM THE HOLE, WHICH I CAN'T EXPLAIN.
Johnson: THAT NEGATIVE IS TRYING TO GAS US OUT.
[ METER BEEPING .]
Groff: WHOA.
HOLY CRAP.
THAT'S INSANE.
Saint: I MEAN, I KNOW LIMESTONE GIVES OFF ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELDS, BUT THIS THING IS GOING OFF LIKE IT'S RIGHT NEX TO A POWER LINE OR ELECTRICAL OUTLET.
LOOK.
LOOK.
IT JUST CHANGED RED.
-YEAH.
-GREEN.
SO SOMETHING IS MOVING BACK THERE.
THE ONLY WAY IT SHOULD BE DOING THAT IS IF IT'S DETECTING SOME KIND OF MOTION ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THESE WALLS.
Bob: SHOULD BE NOTHING ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THESE WALLS.
Johnson: I JUST GO CALLED A NAME.
Carter: OKAY.
I AM GETTING VERY DIZZY, AND I'M STARTING TO FEEL REALLY WEIRD.
I NEED TO GO BACK UP.
WHATEVER THAT NEGATIVE ENTITY WAS THAT THE PRIEST SEEN, IT'S HERE RIGHT NOW.
IT'S CHANGING ITS FORMS.
-IT'S NOT GOOD.
-NO, IT'S NOT GOOD.
IF YOU ARE NOT OF THE FATHER, THE SON AND THE HOLY GHOST, YOU ARE NOT WELCOME HERE.
IT'S TRYING TO PUSH US OUT OF HERE.
WE NEED TO SEAL THIS CAVE.
ROSE, HOW ARE YOU DOING, BABE? I JUST IT FELT VERY OVERWHELMING.
COULD BE BECAUSE THE NEGATIVE IS TRYING TO ATTACH ITSELF TO YOU.
YEAH, I THINK IT WAS.
IT WAS.
SOMETHING IS PISSED OFF DOWN THERE NOW.
I'M ACTUALLY CLOSING THIS OFF.
I'M USING BLACK SALT.
BLACK SALT HAS BEEN USED FOR HUNDREDS OF YEARS TO BLOCK OFF NEGATIVE ENERGY.
I PUT A LINE SO NOTHING NEGATIVE OR ANYTHING CAN COME OUT OF IT.
IF IT'S NEGATIVE, IT'S GOING TO BE TRAPPED IN THERE.
BASICALLY PUTTING A DOOR DOWN.
I SMELL A SMELL NOW.
OH, THAT NEGATIVE IS PISSED, AND I'M SMELLING REALLY BAD STUFF.
I FEEL IT'S GOING THAT WAY.
YEAH, IT'S GOING AWAY FROM HERE.
BILL -YEAH? WHERE'S NICK AND ELIZABETH? THEY'RE IN THE OTHER SIDE.
OH [BLEEP.]
IT'S GOING AFTER NICK AND ELIZABETH.
IS THERE ANYBODY WE CAN GET AHOLD OF AND LET THEM KNOW THAT IT'S PISSED? NICK, ELIZABETH, CAN YOU COPY? WE DON'T HAVE ANY RADIO SIGNAL.
THAT NEGATIVE IS GOING RIGHT TO THEM.
WE HAVE GOT TO GE OVER THERE RIGHT NOW.
WE SEEM TO BE HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THE AIR VENT.
PROBABLY GOING TO HAVE A HARD TIME BREATHING HERE IN A LITTLE WHILE.
ALL RIGHT.
WE SHOULD GET OUT OF HERE THEN.
ALL RIGHT.
Hartley: HEY, GUYS.
CAN YOU HEAR ME? I'M STILL NOT ABLE TO REACH THEM.
Johnson: OH, MY GOD.
HEY, GUYS.
CAN YOU COPY THIS? ELIZABETH, YOU OKAY? -YOU ALL RIGHT? -WHERE'S NICK? THEY'RE STILL DOWN THERE.
THEY'RE ON THEIR -OH, MY GOD.
NICK NEEDS TO GET OU OF THERE RIGHT NOW.
-HE HAS TO GET OUT.
-NICK, ARE YOU OKAY? -UGH.
-IT'S PISSED.
-HORRIBLE.
-IT'S PISSED.
IT DOESN'T WANT TO LET GO, AND IT IS DEATH.
YOU ALL RIGHT? I COULDN'T GET UP.
I LITERALLY HAD TO USE ALL MY STRENGTH TO PULL MYSELF UP.
MY HANDS ARE ALL CUT UP.
SO SOMETHING DIDN' WANT YOU DOWN THERE.
YEAH, IT WAS, LIKE, INSTANTLY, EVERYTHING WENT WRONG.
-AND IT'S OUT HERE? -I HONESTLY Johnson: I'M VERY HAPPY THAT YOU BOTH ARE SAFE.
I WANT TO CLOSE OFF THIS END OF THE CAVE.
I WANT TO STOP WHATEVER IS IN THERE NOT TO BE ABLE TO COME OUT.
-ALL RIGHT.
LET'S GO TAKE ALL THIS GEAR OFF.
Groff: WE WENT DOWN TO CONFRON THIS NEGATIVE ENTITY, AND IT BASICALLY GASSED US OUT OF THE CAVE.
THIS IS ONE OF THE MOS DANGEROUS THINGS THAT I'VE HAD TO DEAL WITH.
LET'S CLOSE THIS CRAP UP.
Groff: AND LORIE, HOPEFULLY SHE'S ABLE TO KIND OF SEAL THIS PROPERTY AND KEEP IT OUT OF HERE, BUT IT'S KIND OF LIKE PUTTING A BAND-AID OVER A GEYSER.
I'M GOING TO FIRST PUT I ON YOU GUYS' SIDE TO KEEP YOU PROTECTED.
THE NEGATIVE IS STILL DOWN IN THAT CAVE.
WHAT I'VE DONE IS I'VE ONLY PUT IT IN TIME OUT.
IT'S WAY MORE POWERFUL THAN YOU THINK.
Saint: FATHER CAHILL, ARE YOU STILL HERE WITH US? IS THERE ANYBODY HERE WITH US? BILL WAS GETTING SO MANY READINGS BEFORE ALONG THIS PATH THAT FATHER CAHILL WOULD TAKE WITH HIS MEL METER, AND NOW THERE'S LITERALLY NOTHING.
I WANT TO OFFER THESE TWO CROSSES TO THE TWO INDIVIDUALS THAT LOST THEIR LIVES IN THE CAVE SYSTEM UNDER THE ADAM STEPHEN'S HOUSE.
I MAKE THIS OFFERING TO HONOR YOU BOTH IN LIFE AND DEATH.
MAY YOU REST IN PEACE.
FATHER CAHILL, WE KNOW YOUR INTENTIONS WERE TRUE AND KIND, AND YOU WERE JUST TRYING TO BRING PEACE TO THE SOULS THAT LOST THEIR LIVES IN THE CAVES.
LORIE DELIVERED THEM BOTH THEIR LAST RITES, AND I HOPE WHA WE'VE DONE HERE TODAY CAN HELP YOUR SPIRI MOVE ON AS WELL.
HI, DANA.
SO WE THINK THAT WHAT ACTUALLY STIRRED UP ALL THIS ACTIVITY THAT YOU SUDDENLY HAD WAS DEFINITELY THE EXCAVATING, AND THAT'S KIND OF WHAT AWOKE WHO WE BELIEVE TO BE FATHER CAHILL BECAUSE YOU BOTH WITNESSED THE SAME EXACT THING RUNNING THE SAME PATH.
WE BELIEVE HE'S KIND OF BEEN STUCK IN THIS RESIDUAL TIME LOOP, DOING THE SAME THING EVERY NIGHT, WHICH IS KIND OF WHAT WE SEE IN A RESIDUAL HAUNTING.
YEAH, EXACTLY.
THAT'S A VERY NORMAL OCCURRENCE FOR A RESIDUAL HAUNT.
SO I JUST DID A SWEEP ALONG THE PATH WHERE YOU SAW THE MIS AND THE PRIEST, AND I DIDN'T GE ANY UNUSUAL READINGS, SO I BELIEVE THE SPIRITS HAUNTING THIS LOCATION ARE NOW AT PEACE.
GOOD.
THAT'S A RELIEF.
YES, IT IS.
Mitchell: OH, I GO SOMETHING FOR YOU.
THERE WAS A HISTORIAN JOURNALIS WHO HAD BEEN DOING SOME RESEARCH, AND THESE ARE ACTUALLY HIS HANDWRITTEN NOTES DATED 1936, AND HE'S WRITING ABOU THE ADAM STEPHEN'S HOUSE RENOVATIONS, AND HE WRITES, "ALSO, ONE TENANT, REMOVING FLOORBOARDS FROM THE KITCHEN, FOUND A NATURAL CAVE WITH SOME SKELETONS THEREIN.
" ABOUT THAT? -OH, WOW.
DANA, FINDING THE FAC THAT THESE TWO PEOPLE ACTUALLY DID EXIS AND DIED UNDERNEATH THE KITCHEN IS PRETTY AMAZING.
YEAH, THAT'S PRETTY AMAZING RESEARCH.
IT WAS BEFORE THIS.
EVEN THOUGH THERE AREN' ANY RECORDS PROVING WHO THESE TWO PEOPLE WERE, I THINK THAT, BETWEEN LORIE GIVING THE LAST RITES AND THE OFFERING WE GAVE BY THE TRACKS EARLIER THIS MORNING, WE'VE REALLY HELPED MOVE THESE TWO SPIRITS ON.
YOU KNOW, I HAVE TO SAY, I KNOW, BEFORE, YOU WERE ALMOST HESITAN TO REALLY TALK ABOUT IT, BUT YOU COMING FORWARD AND TALKING ABOU YOUR EXPERIENCE, I FEEL, REALLY HONESTLY HELPED PUT THE SPIRIT TO REST.
WELL, IT DOES MAKE ME FEEL VALIDATED BECAUSE, LIKE I SAID, I'VE OFTEN QUESTIONED MY SANITY WHEN IT CAME TO THESE THINGS.
I FEEL A SENSE OF CLOSURE HERE.
IT MAKES ME HOPE THAT PEOPLE WILL NOT BE AFRAID TO TELL THEIR STORIES BECAUSE THIS IS REAL STUFF, AND IT IS HAPPENING TO REAL PEOPLE.
I'M GLAD THE TEAM WAS ABLE TO BRING SOME CLOSURE TO THE ADAM STEPHEN'S HOUSE, BUT KNOWING THAT THERE'S AN OPENING NOW TO THIS CAVE SYSTEM IN SHEPHERDSTOWN, IT'S QUITE UNSETTLING.
IF THESE CAVES ARE REALLY THE SOURCE OF THE ACTIVITY, WHAT DOES THAT MEAN FOR THE TOWN? IS IT ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE IT RETURNS TO SHEPHERDSTOWN?
CURSE.
[ Echoing .]
FROM SHEPHERDSTOWN.
King: AFTER THE PARANORMAL TEAM WRAPPED UP THEIR INVESTIGATION LAST SUMMER, THINGS HAVE CERTAINLY DIED DOWN IN SHEPHERDSTOWN.
THAT'S FOR SURE.
THE PROBLEM IS, I'M BEGINNING TO GE ALL TYPES OF STRANGE REPORTS FROM THE NEIGHBORING TOWNS.
YOU KNOW, MAYBE IT'S BIGGER THAN WHAT I THOUGHT.
WOW.
MAYBE IT'S BIGGER THAN SHEPHERDSTOWN.
LAST YEAR, WE HAD A VERY SIGNIFICANT SPIKE IN UNUSUAL EMERGENCY CALLS.
I GOT TO TELL YOU, I'VE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE I IN MY 36 YEARS OF POLICE WORK.
I ASSEMBLED A TEAM OF TOP PARANORMAL INVESTIGATORS TO HELP US SOLVE SOME OF THESE BIZARRE CASES.
Saint: THERE'S SOMEBODY HERE.
Groff: GO, GO, GO.
FOLLOW IT.
THERE'S A NEGATIVE PRESENCE HERE! A LOT OF FOLKS ALREADY BELIEVE SHEPHERDSTOWN IS THE MOS HAUNTED TOWN IN THE COUNTRY, BUT NOW THE DARK PRESENCE IS BACK.
[ SCREAMS .]
AND IT'S SPREADING.
-- Captions by VITAC -- CAPTIONS PAID FOR BY DISCOVERY COMMUNICATIONS Hartley: WE'RE HEADING TO THE ADAM STEPHEN'S HOUSE IN MARTINSBURG BECAUSE YOU KNOW I'VE BEEN REALLY DIGGING IN, TRYING TO FIND US SOME WAY OF ACCESSING THIS CAVE SYSTEMS, AND FAR AS I KNOW, THIS IS ACTUALLY THE ONLY REMAINING OPENING TO ANY OF THE CAVE SYSTEMS IN ALL OF JEFFERSON COUNTY.
Saint: WOW.
OKAY.
PARANORMAL ACTIVITY IN TOWN SQUARE IN SHEPHERDSTOWN IS GETTING WORSE.
IN ALL OF OUR CASES WE BEEN TO LATELY, THERE SEEMS TO BE SOME SORT OF DARK, NEGATIVE PRESENCE THAT'S VERY AGGRESSIVE.
WE HAVE A NEW THEORY THAT THIS DARK ENTITY IS USING THESE UNDERGROUND LIMESTONE CAVE SYSTEMS TO TRAVEL FROM ONE TOWN TO THE NEXT.
THERE IS A OPENING IN THE CAVE SYSTEMS UNDERNEATH THE HOUSE.
-OH, REALLY? -YEAH.
NORMALLY, WE DON' INVESTIGATE LOCATIONS UNLESS WE GET A CALL FOR HELP, BUT AFTER DISCOVERING THAT MASSIVE CAVE SYSTEM IN OUR LAST INVESTIGATION, WE'RE COMPLETELY REVAMPING HOW WE DO THINGS.
Mitchell: IT'S NOT JUST CHARLESTOWN.
THERE'S A WHOLE NETWORK OF TUNNELS AND CAVES.
CAN YOU GO DOWN THERE ANYMORE? NO, THEY'RE COMPLETELY SEALED OFF.
THIS NEGATIVE IS DOWN THERE.
IT'S HUGE, AND IT DOESN' WANT US DOWN THERE.
Hartley: NOW WE'RE TRYING TO GE AHEAD OF THESE HAUNTINGS BY BEING PROACTIVE AND INVESTIGATING THIS HISTORIC MUSEUM IN MARTINSBURG.
IT HAS DIRECT ACCESS TO THE LIMESTONE CAVES THAT WE BELIEVE THA THIS DARK PRESENCE IS USING.
YOU KNOW, THE ELEMENTS THAT MAKE UP LIMESTONE, PARTICULARLY, SOMETIMES QUARTZ IS PRESENT IN IT.
RIGHT.
IT REALLY HAS THE ABILITY TO AMPLIFY PARANORMAL ACTIVITY OR SPIRITUAL ENERGY.
WELL, NOT EVEN JUS SO MUCH ENHANCE BUT ALSO KIND OF TRAP.
EXACTLY.
YES.
MAYBE SHEPHERDSTOWN IS NOT EXPERIENCING SO MUCH ACTIVITY RIGHT NOW BECAUSE, AS FAR AS I KNOW, THERE'S NO CAVE ENTRANCES THERE.
YEAH, I AGREE.
SO I FIND IT REALLY INTERESTING THAT I TALK TO KEITH, WHO RUNS THE MUSEUM AND THE HOUSE THERE.
I MEAN, HE'S BEEN THERE FOR 25 YEARS AS A CARETAKER, AND HE TELLS ME THAT, JUST RECENTLY, THE ACTIVITY IN THAT LOCATION HAS SPIKED.
-OH, REALLY? -YEAH.
I MEAN, IT'S GOT TO BE MORE THAN JUST A COINCIDENCE, RIGHT? YEAH, I AGREE.
LOOK.
THERE IT IS.
-YOU GUYS READY? -YEP.
-LET'S DO IT, GUYS.
-LET'S GO.
OH, WOW.
WE'RE IN MARTINSBURG RIGHT NOW AT THE ADAM STEPHEN'S HOUSE.
WANT TO TALK TO KEITH.
HE'S WAITING UP HERE.
Hammersla: HI.
ARE YOU BILL? Hartley: HEY, KEITH.
HOW YOU DOING? SO ACTIVITY HAS REALLY ESCALATED IN THE LAST WELL, HOW MANY DAYS WOULD YOU SAY? IN THE LAST WEEK, IT'S GOTTEN REALLY BAD.
DOORS HAVE CLOSED BY THEMSELVES.
OBJECTS HAVE BEEN MOVED.
PEOPLE HAVE SEEN APPARITIONS.
Saint: AND IT'S IN THIS HOUSE RIGHT HERE? YES, IN THIS OLD STONE HOUSE.
THE HOUSE WAS BUIL IN THE 1780s BY ADAM STEPHEN.
GENERAL ADAM STEPHEN WAS A REVOLUTIONARY WAR LEADER AND THE FOUNDER OF MARTINSBURG.
HE CHOSE THIS LOCATION BECAUSE OF THE CAVE PROBABLY TO HAVE AN ESCAPE ROUTE IN CASE THERE WERE AN ATTACK BY THE NATIVE AMERICANS OR THE BRITISH OR SOME OTHER FOES OF HIS.
I CAN SHOW YOU THE CAVE ENTRANCE.
-YEAH.
-OKAY.
COME ALONG.
COME ON IN.
BACK HERE.
Saint: WHAT THE Groff: OH, MY GOD.
THIS IS AWESOME.
WOW.
THIS CAVE IS 40 FEET DEEP, AND THE ONLY WAY TO GET DOWN INTO I IS TO RAPPEL ON THIS ROPE.
Hartley: I'M NOT DRAWING ANY EMF FROM IT.
Groff: THIS IS THE FIRST TIME WE'RE SEEING THE CAVE ENTRANCE.
WE'VE BEEN TRYING TO FIGURE OUT ANY ACCESS WE CAN GAIN TO GET DOWN THERE.
WE FEEL A LOT OF THE PARANORMAL ACTIVITY LEADING US TO DIFFERENT CAVES HAS BROUGHT US TO THIS POINT, SO THIS IS PIVOTAL FOR US IN OUR INVESTIGATION.
IS THERE LIMESTONE DOWN THERE? THIS WHOLE CAVE SYSTEM IS LIMESTONE, AND IT'S VERY EXTENSIVE.
IT COVERS A NUMBER OF BLOCKS UNDER THIS PART OF TOWN.
YEAH, AND, LIKE, THIS IS LITERALLY THE ONLY CAVE ENTRANCE THAT I COULD FIND ANYWHERE.
WELL, ACTUALLY, THERE IS ANOTHER CAVE OPENING ON THIS PROPERTY ABOUT 500 FEET FROM HERE.
OH, WOW.
ON THIS PROPERTY? -ON THIS PROPERTY? -YES.
Hartley: ALL THE OTHER CAVES IN THE AREA ARE SEALED, SO WE'RE HOPING THA GETTING DOWN INTO THIS CAVE WILL GIVE US SOME ANSWERS AS TO WHAT IT IS WE'RE CHASING.
IS THAT A EASIER WAY TO GE IN AT THAT CAVE SYSTEM? Hammersla: IT'S MUCH EASIER THAN RAPPELLING ON A ROPE.
-CAN WE GO THERE? -SURE.
WE CAN CHECK IT OUT.
ALL RIGHT.
LET'S GO OVER THERE.
OH, AND I WANT TO TELL YOU ABOUT ANOTHER STORY THAT HAPPENED OUTSIDE.
-OKAY.
I WAS STANDING UP AT THIS BUILDING WHEN I NOTICE A GREENISH MIST UP HERE TO THE RIGH OF THE STONE BUILDING.
SO TO THE RIGHT OF THE HOUSE OVER THERE? YES.
WAS WALKING OUT THE HOUSE ONE EVENING AND I SAW A STRANGE GREEN GLOW.
I KNEW THAT IT WASN' FOG OR SMOKE BECAUSE IT SEEMED TO MOVE WITH A PURPOSE.
THE GREENISH MIST FLOATED UP THAT WAY, WENT ACROSS THE TRACKS AND INTO THE WOODS OVER THERE.
-WOW.
-OH, WOW.
I MEAN, THAT'S REALLY A LONG TIME FOR SOMETHING TO BE MATERIALIZED FOR US.
YEAH.
Groff: WAS THAT HEADED IN THE DIRECTION OF THE SECOND CAVE OPENING? YES, ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE TRACKS HERE.
WE KNOW WATER IS A SPIRITUAL CONDUCTOR, AND IN SOME CASES, SPIRITS CAN ACTUALLY MANIFEST THEMSELVES THROUGH CONDENSATION, SO THE MIST THAT KEITH SAW COULD BE INDICATIVE TO SOMETHING PARANORMAL.
WHAT I WANT TO KNOW IS, IS THIS MIST SOMEHOW RELATED TO THE DARK PRESENCE WE'VE BEEN FOLLOWING THROUGH ALL OF OUR INVESTIGATIONS? Hammersla: THIS HOUSE IS OWNED BY THE CITY.
IT'S PART OF THE ADAM STEPHEN COMPLEX.
Groff: LOOKS LIKE A MOONSHINER ENTRANCE OR SOMETHING.
COME ON DOWN.
GOING INTO CAVE NUMBER TWO RIGHT NOW.
Saint: WOW.
THIS IS AWESOME.
Saint: THIS ENTRANCE AND THE ONE UNDER THE ADAM STEPHEN HOUSE, THEY'RE BOTH MADE ROUGHLY AT THE SAME TIME? Hammersla: YES.
SOME STONE MASONS WHO HAVE DATED THIS BARREL-VAULTED CEILING HAS SAID THAT IT DATES FROM ABOUT THE 1780s.
Hartley: NICE.
Groff: LOOK AT THIS.
SO IT IS ABOUT THE SAME TIME AS THE ADAM STEPHEN HOUSE.
IN FACT, WE BELIEVE THAT THESE TWO TUNNELS CONNECT TO EACH OTHER.
-OH, THEY CONNECT? -YES.
Groff: SO THIS IS ALL CLOSED OFF TO, LIKE, THE PUBLIC AND EVERYBODY? -IT IS.
-OKAY.
THIS IS AMAZING.
Hartley: HEY, GUYS, WE'VE GOT A BUCKE AND SOME FRESH DIRT OVER HERE.
SOMEONE HAS BEEN DOING SOME DIGGING DOWN HERE RECENTLY.
THERE'S A COUPLE SHOVELS DOWN HERE, TOO.
HAS SOMEBODY BEEN DIGGING IN HERE? WELL, WE HAVE A GROUP THAT HAS BEEN WORKING WITH US TO REOPEN THESE TUNNELS.
HOW LONG HAS THA BEEN GOING ON FOR? JUST A COUPLE WEEKS RECENTLY.
I MEAN, THIS COULD BE THE CAUSE OF ALL THE PARANORMAL ACTIVITY SUDDENLY KICKING UP.
YEAH, I MEAN, THINK ABOUT JUS WHEN WE TALK ABOUT HOUSES, AND YOU DO RENOVATIONS, AND I SEEMS TO STIR UP ACTIVITY.
CONSTRUCTION IS A WELL-KNOWN TRIGGER FOR PARANORMAL ACTIVITY.
IT DISRUPTS THE FOUNDATION AND CAUSES DORMAN SPIRITS TO AWAKEN.
I MEAN, THIS COULD REALLY BE THE CAUSE FOR ALL THE ACTIVITY THAT'S BEEN HAPPENING RECENTLY.
THERE HAVE BEEN CAVES NEAR ALL OF OUR PREVIOUS CASES, AND IF THIS CAVE ENTRANCE IS UNDERGOING CONSTRUCTION AND IF IT'S, IN FACT, CONNECTED TO ALL OF THE OTHER CAVES, THEN THAT COULD BE REALLY THE REASON WHY WE HAVE THIS RISE OF PARANORMAL ACTIVITY IN THE TOWNS OUTSIDE OF SHEPHERDSTOWN.
THIS IS PRETTY INCREDIBLE.
[ CREATURE GROWLS .]
DID YOU HEAR THAT? -I DID HEAR SOMETHING.
-DID YOU HEAR THAT? YEAH, I HEARD SOMETHING COME FROM THERE.
IS THERE SOMEONE DOWN THERE? IT WAS, LIKE, A GROWL OR SOMETHING.
YEAH, YEAH, THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I HEARD.
[ CREATURE GROWLS .]
DID YOU HEAR THAT? Groff: YEAH, I HEARD SOMETHING COME FROM THERE.
IT WAS A GROWL, RIGHT? YEAH, YEAH, THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I HEARD.
IS THERE SOMEONE DOWN THERE? I'M GOING TO CHECK SOMETHING OUT REALLY QUICK.
YEAH, GO AHEAD.
JUST WANT TO SEE SOMETHING.
BILL, ARE YOU GETTING ANY READINGS RIGHT NOW? FLAT LINE THE WHOLE TIME WE'VE BEEN DOWN HERE.
THAT'S WEIRD.
MAN, THIS LOOKS LIKE A CRAZY DROP-OFF.
HOW FAR DOES IT DROP OFF? Hammersla: THAT'S ABOU A 20-FOOT VERTICAL DROP, AND THEN I GOES HORIZONTAL AGAIN.
Saint: WOW.
IF WE'RE TALKING CAVE SYSTEMS THAT CONNECT WITH OTHER CAVE SYSTEMS IN MULTIPLE TOWNS Hartley: RIGHT.
I'M NOT SURE WHA WE'RE GETTING OURSELF INTO.
YOU KNOW, WITHOUT HAVING OUR OWN LITTLE ROAD MAP, WE COULD END UP LOST UNDER THERE.
ACCORDING TO KEITH, NO ONE KNOWS HOW THESE CAVES CONNECT, WHICH IS WHY THEY'RE DIGGING DOWN HERE TO BEGIN WITH.
KEITH IS GOING TO PUT IN TOUCH WITH THE GUYS HE'S WORKING WITH TO TRY TO GIVE US A LITTLE MORE INFORMATION.
IS THERE ANYBODY ELSE YOU THINK WE SHOULD TALK TO? YOU COULD SPEAK TO ONE OF OUR OTHER VOLUNTEERS, ROSE.
SHE'S HAD A LOT OF WEIRD EXPERIENCES AT THE HOUSE, AND SHE'S SHOWING THE MUSEUM TODAY.
YEAH.
SHE'S HERE NOW.
I MEAN, NO BETTER TIME THAN THE PRESENT.
LET'S GO TALK TO HER.
-YEAH, LET'S HEAD BACK UP.
Hammersla: COME ON.
SHE'S IN THE MUSEUM.
HI, ROSE.
-HI.
NICK AND ELIZABETH AND BILL.
Saint: HI, ROSE.
NICE TO MEET YOU.
THIS IS AMAZING.
Groff: WAS THIS ALL FOUND ON THIS PROPERTY? Hammersla: A LOT OF IT WAS FOUND HERE IN BERKELEY COUNTY, AND THEN OTHER PIECES WERE DONATED BY PEOPLE IN OUR COMMUNITY.
ANTIQUES POSSIBLY HAVE ATTACHMENTS.
YEAH.
THEY ALL HOLD SOME SORT OF ENERGY AND HISTORY.
YEAH.
SO, ROSE, THE TEAM JUST WANTS TO PICK YOUR BRAIN ABOUT SOME OF THE HAUNTINGS AND THINGS THAT HAVE BEEN HAPPENING HERE RECENTLY.
BEFORE YOU GUYS DO THAT, I'M GOING TO BACK OUTSIDE AND SEE IF I CAN GE ANY READINGS.
ALL RIGHT.
I GOT MY WALKIE, BILL.
Hartley: I WANT TO KNOW MORE ABOUT THIS MIST THAT KEITH SAW, SO I'M GOING TO DO A SWEEP ALONG THE SAME PATH WHERE HE WITNESSED IT.
AND IF THIS THING IS HANGING OUT BY THE CAVES, I SHOULD BE ABLE TO PICK UP UNUSUAL READINGS USING MY REM ANTENNA ON THE MEL METER.
DO YOU TAKE A WALK DOWN THIS PATH OFTEN? I'M NOT GETTING ANYTHING ON EMF.
Groff: SO KEITH MENTIONED THA YOU HAD SOME EXPERIENCES.
MM.
DO YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT SOME OF THEM? I'M A LITTLE APPREHENSIVE SAYING IT ON TELEVISION.
LIKE, WE TOTALLY UNDERSTAND, BUT IT WOULD REALLY HELP US IN OUR INVESTIGATION AND WOULD HELP OTHER PEOPLE THAT ARE WORKING HERE, TOO.
WELL, I THOUGH I WAS LOSING MY MIND.
WHY DO YOU THINK THAT? BECAUSE I SEEN SOMETHING THAT I CANNOT EXPLAIN.
WELL, WHAT DID YOU SEE? Saint: I MEAN, HONESTLY, IT'S OKAY.
WE'RE REALLY HERE TO HELP YOU, AND WHAT YOU JUST SAID I HEAR SO MANY TIMES BECAUSE PEOPLE DON'T THINK THAT OTHERS HAVE THE SAME EXPERIENCE AS THEM, AND THEN THEY FIND OU EVERYBODY HAS THESE EXPERIENCES, WHETHER THEY REALIZE IT OR NOT.
OKAY.
ABOUT A WEEK AGO, I WAS LOCKING UP THE MUSEUM.
AND I WAS HEADED TO MY CAR WHEN I NOTICED A MIST FORMING.
AT FIRST, I THOUGH THE CLOUD WAS FOG, BUT CLOUDS DON'T NORMALLY GLOW, AND THEN THAT'S WHEN IT FORMED INTO WHAT I SAW.
THE MIST FORMED INTO A FIGURE OF A MAN WEARING RELIGIOUS GARBS.
IN PLACE OF HIS EYES THERE WAS DARK BLACK HOLES.
[ SHRIEKS .]
AND I RAN IN HERE, LOCKED MYSELF IN.
I WAS QUESTIONING MY SANITY.
I THOUGH I WAS LOSING MY MIND, AND IT WAS QUITE SCARY, ACTUALLY.
AND WHAT TIME OF DAY WAS THIS? THIS WAS AT NIGHT, ABOUT 9:00 AT NIGHT.
SO THIS IS, LIKE, THE SAME TIME THAT YOU EXPERIENCED Hammersla: RIGHT.
THAT AS WELL WAS, LIKE, 8:00, 9:00 AT NIGHT.
THAT WAS ABOUT THE SAME TIME AT NIGHT.
YES.
[ METER BEEPS .]
Hartley: WHOA.
WE'RE GETTING A MAJOR SPIKE ON THE MEL METER RIGH OUTSIDE OF THE ENTRANCE TO THE CAVES.
I KNOW YOU GOT LOUDER ON ME.
DO YOU NOT WANT ME IN THIS SPOT? IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE TRYING TO WARN ME? [ BEEPING CONTINUES .]
YOU'RE DEFINITELY NOT GOING CRAZY.
IT SOUNDS LIKE THE EXCAVATIONS GOING ON KICKED UP SOMETHING, AND MAYBE THIS IS TRIGGERING SOME SORT OF ACTIVITY.
THIS THING THAT YOU'RE BOTH SEEING MOVES FROM THE HOUSE, WHICH WE KNOW THAT THERE IS AN ENTRANCE OVER THERE IN THE FOUNDATION, AND IT'S MOVING ACROSS THE TRAIN TRACKS, WHICH IS IN THE DIRECTION OF THE OTHER HOUSE WHERE THAT OTHER CAVE ENTRANCE IS.
-UH-HUH.
-MM-HMM.
I'M NOT SURE IF IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE CAVE SYSTEMS, BUT THAT'S WHAT I'M GOING TO SPECULATE ON RIGHT NOW.
YEAH, ABSOLUTELY.
[ BIRDS CHIRPING .]
[ METER BEEPING .]
SOMEBODY IS HERE.
I REALLY APPRECIATE YOU SHARING YOUR INFORMATION WITH US, ROSE, YOUR EYEWITNESS ACCOUNT.
-HEY, GUYS.
-SORRY.
-YEAH, I GOT THE WALKIE.
-IT'S BILL.
YOU GOT IT? -HEY.
WHAT'S UP, BILL? Hartley: WANT TO GIVE YOU A HEADS-UP.
I'M HAVING SOMETHING OUT HERE ON PATH WHERE THE GREEN MIST WAS SEEN.
Groff: WE'RE ON OUR WAY.
HEY, WHAT'S UP, BILL? Hartley: I'M HAVING SOMETHING OUT HERE ON THE PATH WHERE THE GREEN MIST WAS SEEN.
Groff: WE'RE ON OUR WAY.
YOU WANT TO COME WITH ME? SURE.
HEY, BILL.
WHERE ARE YOU RIGHT NOW? WHERE DID HE GO? -HEY, BILL! -YES? -WHAT'S GOING ON? Hartley: AND IT'S BEEN DOING IT THE ENTIRE TIME I WALKED UP HERE.
STARTING FROM THE SIDE OF THE HOUSE UH-HUH.
COMING DOWN THE PATH, THE SAME PATH THAT KEITH WAS TAKING WHERE HE SAW THE MIST.
THERE'S A REM ANTENNA HERE THAT GIVES OFF AN ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELD, SO WHEN ANYTHING COMES IN THE VICINITY TO BREAK THAT FIELD, IT GOES OFF.
ARE YOU HERE NOW? CAN YOU MAKE THE METER GO OFF TO SHOW MY FRIENDS YOU'RE HERE? IT'S GOING TO MAKE A LIAR OUT OF ME NOW.
CRAZIEST PART OF ALL THIS IS THEY'VE ACTUALLY HAD THE SAME EXPERIENCE WITH THE DARK GREEN MIST.
-YEAH.
THE INTERESTING THING ABOUT HER EXPERIENCE WAS IT ACTUALLY TURNED INTO A MAN THAT WAS WEARING RELIGIOUS ATTIRE.
Hartley: YOU MEAN LIKE A PRIEST? -YEAH.
-WOW.
SO ARE YOU A MINISTER OR A PRIEST OR SOMETHING? HE'S GOTTEN QUIE SINCE YOU GUYS CAME AROUND.
WHEN WAS I THE STRONGEST? ALL THROUGH THIS WHOLE PATH.
-OH, REALLY? -YEAH.
THE SAME PATH IN WHICH YOU SAW THIS GREEN MIST GOING ON.
BECAUSE THIS MIST TRAVELS IN A VERY REPETITIVE PATTERN, IT SAYS TO ME THA WE COULD POSSIBLY BE DEALING WITH SOME SORT OF RESIDUAL HAUNTING.
A RESIDUAL HAUNTING IS AN IMPRINT ON THE SPACE.
IT'S USUALLY CAUSED BY SOME SORT OF TRAUMATIC EVENT, THIS LOOPED PLAYBACK OF SOMETHING THAT HAPPENED BEFORE.
I'LL ACTUALLY GIVE LORIE A CALL, AND SHE COULD COME BY AND DO A PSYCHIC SWEEP, AND WE CAN GET HER PERSPECTIVE ON EVERYTHING.
[ TRAIN WHISTLE BLOWS .]
Johnson: TODAY, I WAS CALLED IN AT THE ADAM STEPHEN'S HOUSE TO DO A PSYCHIC SWEEP.
WHAT I DO IS, IS I READ ENERGY OFF THE HOUSE AND ALSO THE PROPERTY.
COME THIS WAY.
A LOT OF PEOPLE ASK ME WHAT MY GIFTS ARE, AND WHAT WORK I DO IS USUALLY CALLED A PSYCHIC MEDIUM.
I LIKE CALLING MYSELF THE VOICE OF THE UNKNOWN.
I'M HERE TO TELL THEIR STORY AND TO GIVE THEM CLOSURE.
I'LL FOLLOW YOU.
OH, YEAH.
I'M BEING PULLED.
YEAH.
I NEED TO GO DOWN.
THEN IT TURNS.
[ BELL CLANGING .]
WHATEVER IT IS, IS DRAWING ME BACK TO THAT HOUSE.
DO YOU WANT ME TO TAKE YOU THERE? YEAH, LET'S GO THERE.
Saint: LORIE DOESN'T KNOW THIS, BUT SHE'S ACTUALLY BEING LED DOWN THE SAME PATH THAT KEITH AND ROSE SAW THIS TRAVELING GREEN MIST FORM.
I THINK THIS KIND OF SUPPORTS MY THEORY THAT WE'RE DEALING WITH SOME KIND OF RESIDUAL ENERGY, AND AT THIS POINT, WE REALLY NEED TO FIGURE OU WHAT TRAUMATIC EVENT HAPPENED AT THIS LOCATION THAT WOULD LEAVE SUCH A POWERFUL IMPRINT ON THIS SPACE.
SO THIS IS WHERE KEITH TOOK US YESTERDAY.
OKAY.
LET ME SEE SOMETHING.
MM-HMM.
THERE'S PEOPLE IN HERE, ELIZABETH.
HONEY, THERE'S SOMEBODY IN HERE.
I HAVE TO GO IN, AND THERE'S MORE THAN ONE.
BE CAREFUL.
WE HAVE A MALE IN FRONT OF US.
HE'S NOT BAD.
HE'S NOT BAD? NO, HE'S MAKING ME FEEL, LIKE, SADNESS.
I FEEL SHAMED.
HE JUST SAYS, "TWO.
" WHAT DOES "TWO" MEAN? I DON'T KNOW.
-HE SAID, "COME HERE.
" -COME HERE? HERE WE GO.
OH, HONEY, HE'S STANDING ABOVE IT, AND HE KEEPS GOING LIKE THIS, AND HE'S POINTING DOWN THERE.
DO YOU THINK THERE'S SOMETHING HIDDEN DOWN THERE? -YOU REALLY WANT MY OPINION? -YEAH.
I THINK THERE'S DEAD BODIES DOWN THERE, HONEY.
I THINK THERE'S DEAD BODIES DOWN THERE, HONEY.
SO YOU THINK IF WE WERE TO GO DOWN THERE, THERE'S A POSSIBILITY THAT WE COULD FIND THE REMAINS OF DEAD BODIES? YEP.
I DON'T KNOW.
I HAVE TO LOOK.
I KEEP ALL I SEE IS A MALE'S LEG, BUT THERE'S SOMETHING ELSE FURTHER DOWN.
I HAVE TO LOOK.
THE MALE IS NO DANGEROUS OR EVIL.
UM HE HAS A CROSS, AND I CAN SEE JESUS ON IT.
IT SOUNDS LIKE A CRUCIFIX.
-YEAH.
-HE COULD BE CATHOLIC.
MOST DEFINITELY.
CAN YOU TELL WHA TIME PERIOD HE'S FROM? HE WAS HERE A LONG TIME AGO, LIKE, A COUPLE HUNDRED YEARS.
[ CREATURE GROWLING .]
THERE'S SOMETHING NEGATIVE DOWN THERE DEMON, BY THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT, I COMMAND YOU TO LEAVE THIS EARTHLY PLACE! BECAUSE I KEEP HEARING A GROWL, LIKE, A [GROWLS.]
NICK AND I HEARD A GROWL COME FROM THE CAVE ENTRANCE.
SO IT WAS WARNING YOU.
BUT WHY IS THAT NEGATIVE HERE? WE HAVE TO FIND OUT WHY.
Saint: I THINK THAT LORIE IS TUNING IN TO THE SAME PRIES THAT ROSE SAW, AND IF LORIE IS RIGHT ABOUT HIM BEING A CATHOLIC PRIES ON THIS PROPERTY A COUPLE HUNDRED YEARS AGO, THAT AT LEAST NARROWS IT DOWN FOR DANA, OUR LOCAL HISTORIAN, TO DIG UP SOME HISTORY AND REALLY IDENTIFY WHO HE IS.
CATHOLICISM WAS NOT COMMON IN THE COLONY OF VIRGINIA.
THE FIRST CATHOLIC CHURCH IN MARTINSBURG WASN'T BUILT UNTIL 1825.
WOW.
BUT THERE WERE A FEW CATHOLIC PRACTITIONERS.
THEY WOULD HOLD MASS IN PEOPLE'S HOUSES, AND THERE'S GREAT EVIDENCE THAT CATHOLIC MASS WAS HELD IN THE ADAM STEPHEN'S HOUSE WHEN THE O'FERRELL FAMILY LIVED THERE.
Groff: OH, THAT'S INTERESTING.
THERE'S A LETTER DATED 1791 ADDRESSED TO BISHOP JOHN CARROLL.
IT WOULD APPEAR THAT FATHER DENNIS CAHILL WAS IN CHARGE HERE AT THAT TIME, SO IN FACT, A PRIEST NAMED FATHER DENNIS CAHILL DID DO SERVICES IN MARTINSBURG, AND IT WOULD'VE BEEN THAT HOUSE.
THAT WAS A CATHOLIC FAMILY.
SO THERE IS A SMALL POSSIBILITY THAT THE SPIRI THAT EVERYBODY HAS BEEN SEEING, THIS MIST, THIS PRIEST, COULD POSSIBLY BE HIM? -IT COULD BE.
-IT'S POSSIBLE IT COULD BE HIM.
-YEAH.
-HEY, GUYS.
-HEY, MIKE.
-HEY, MIKE.
-HOW YOU DOING? -GOOD TO SEE YOU.
LOOK, I'VE CHECKED ALL THE RECORDS.
THERE IS NO RECORD OF ANY BODIES BEING FOUND IN THE CAVES UNDER ADAM STEPHEN'S PLACE.
-OKAY.
-NONE? OKAY.
NONE.
NOW I GOT AN OLD FRIEND OF MINE, BOB BENNETT, AND HE IS A MEMBER OF THE TRICOUNTY GROTTO CAVING CLUB.
NOW, HE TELLS ME THEY ARE ACTUALLY THE CLUB THAT IS EXCAVATING SOME OF THESE CAVES DOWN THERE.
EVEN THOUGH THERE'S NO OFFICIAL MAP OF THE CAVE SYSTEMS, THE TRISTATE GROTTO CAVERS WERE ABLE TO PROVIDE ME WITH A MAP OF ALL THE KNOWN ENTRANCES HERE IN JEFFERSON COUNTY.
I JUST HOPE SOMEHOW THIS INFORMATION CAN HELP THE TEAM GET AHEAD OF THESE HAUNTINGS.
PRETTY MUCH EVERYTHING YOU GUYS ARE LOOKING FOR.
-OH, MY GOSH.
-YEAH.
LOOK.
IT MENTIONS ALL THE MATERIALS.
-YEAH.
-HERE'S JEFFERSON.
Groff: YEAH, THE PINK IS THE HIGHEST CONCENTRATION OF LIMESTONE IN THE AREA.
SO THAT'S EXACTLY WHERE -IT'S RIGHT WHERE WE ARE.
-WOW.
-THAT'S TELLING.
-CAN I SEE THIS? -YEAH.
-THIS IS CRAZY.
-ACCORDING TO THE MAP, THERE'S A CAVE ENTRANCE IN SHEPHERDSTOWN HERE.
WAIT.
CAVE IN SHEPHERDSTOWN? YEAH.
DO YOU SEE THAT? I DIDN'T KNOW THAT.
I DIDN'T EITHER.
I HAD NO CLUE.
LET ME MARK THESE ON OUR BOARD.
SHEPHERDSTOWN.
SO WE HAVE ADAM STEPHEN'S HOUSE, CAVE.
YOU GUYS, YOU KNOW, EVERY CASE THAT WE'VE WORKED ON SO FAR IS IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO ONE OF THESE CAVE ENTRANCES.
WE HAVE MARTINSBURG, SHEPHERDSTOWN, SHARPSBURG, HARPER'S FERRY, CHARLESTOWN.
ALL OUR CASES HAVE BEEN DIRECTING US TO THESE AREAS.
THE FACT THAT THERE ARE CAVE ENTRANCES NEAR ALL OUR PREVIOUS CASES IS A HUGE BREAKTHROUGH FOR US.
NOW WE HAVE TO GET DOWN INTO THE CAVES AT THE ADAM STEPHEN'S HOUSE AND CONFRON THIS NEGATIVE ENTITY BEFORE IT SPREADS ANY FURTHER.
YOU'RE HEADING IN THE RIGHT PATH.
THE REASON WHY I ASKED MS.
ROSE TO COME HERE IS BECAUSE, SINCE SHE'S ALREADY SEEN THE APPARITION OF THE PRIEST, THAT MAKES ME FEEL THA HE'S ACTUALLY COMFORTABLE WITH HER ALREADY.
OH [BLEEP.]
I ACTUALLY BELIEVE THA ROSE CAN HELP US COMMUNICATE TO THIS PRIEST.
Hartley: IF THERE IS ANYTHING DOWN THERE, THIS WILL BE OUR BEST BE TO ACTUALLY FIND IT.
ALL RIGHT.
JUST BECAUSE THERE'S NO OFFICIAL RECORD OF ANYONE DYING DOWN HERE DOESN'T MEAN IT DIDN'T HAPPEN.
BODIES COULD STILL BE DOWN THERE.
SO I'M GOING TO BE USING WHAT'S CALLED A THROWBOT.
IN MOST CASES, YOU WOULD ACTUALLY THROW IT, AND HENCE THE NAME IS CALLED A THROWBOT.
NOW, FOR US, WE'RE GOING TO LOWER IT INTO THE CAVE.
BECAUSE THESE CAVES ARE TIGHT AND NARROW, IT'S GOING TO BE HARD FOR ANYONE TO GET DOWN THERE PHYSICALLY.
IT HAS NIGHT-VISION CAPABILITY AND A CAMERA, SO DROPPING THIS IN WILL GIVE US ACCESS TO SPOTS THAT NO ONE WILL EVER SEE.
-YOU READY? -YEP, I'M READY.
Hartley: SO I'M GOING TO LAUNCH THE THROWBOT IN CAVE TWO WHERE LORIE AND ROSE ARE.
MEANWHILE, NICK AND ELIZABETH ARE OVER AT CAVE ONE, WHICH IS DIRECTLY UNDERNEATH THE MAIN HOUSE.
Bob: LET'S GO AHEAD AND GET THEM ON, AND THAT WAY, WE CAN GO DOWN THE HOLE.
-JUST STEP ON THROUGH? -YEAH.
BOB IS A CERTIFIED GUIDE FROM THE CAVING SOCIETY WHO IS ACTUALLY GOING TO MAKE SURE THAT NICK AND I ARE SAFE COMING IN AND OUT OF THESE CAVES TONIGHT, AND ONCE WE'RE DOWN THERE, WE REALLY WANT TO TRY AND COMMUNICATE WITH THIS NEGATIVE ENTITY WHO WE BELIEVE IS THE CAUSE OF THE SPIKE IN PARANORMAL ACTIVITY IN ALL OF THESE TOWNS.
SO WHAT CAN WE EXPECT ONCE WE'RE DOWN THERE AT THE BOTTOM? OKAY.
A LOT OF PEOPLE WORRY WHEN THEY GET DOWN INTO A CAVE BECAUSE THEY SAY, YOU KNOW, "IS IT GOING TO COLLAPSE?" WELL, ANYTHING COULD HAPPEN.
THERE'S BEEN ACCIDENTS IN CAVES JUST LIKE THERE HAS ANYTHING ELSE.
YEAH.
I'M A LITTLE NERVOUS RIGHT NOW.
ROCKS COULD FALL ON OUR HEAD.
THERE COULD BE LIMITED OXYGEN SUPPLY DOWN THERE, AND THERE'S THIS NEGATIVE PRESENCE THAT COULD BE WAITING FOR US DOWN THERE.
-YOU READY? -YEAH.
YOU NERVOUS, SCOTT? YEAH.
[ BOTH LAUGH .]
THERE GOES BOB.
Bob: TIGHTEN THIS ROPE NOW AND PULL.
PULL IT BACK UP.
SO BOB JUST GOT TO THE BOTTOM PART OF THE CAVE.
WE'RE UP NEXT.
OKAY.
ELIZABETH, SEE YOU AT THE BOTTOM.
Saint: ALL RIGHT.
WOW.
HOLY CRAP.
THIS IS STEEP.
WHOO.
COMES STRAIGHT DOWN.
I CAN SEE WHAT YOU'RE SAYING, HOW DANGEROUS IT IS.
ALL RIGHT.
I'M THERE.
ALL RIGHT.
LOOK AT HOW TIGH THESE SPACES ARE, MILLIONS OF YEARS OLD RIGHT HERE.
PRETTY INCREDIBLE.
WATCH YOUR FOOTING.
-[BLEEP.]
-HOLY [BLEEP.]
WHOA.
OH.
-[BLEEP.]
-HOLY [BLEEP.]
WHOA.
OH.
Bob: CAREFUL.
YOU'LL KICK DOWN ROCKS.
GO STRAIGHT DOWN NOW.
Groff: LEAN MORE BACK.
THERE YOU GO.
-WOW.
-WHOA.
IT'S AMAZING DOWN HERE.
-IT'S ALL LIMESTONE, RIGHT? -YEAH.
YOU CAN SEE THESE ARE BIG CHUNKS.
SO HOW FAR ARE WE RIGHT NOW? RIGHT NOW, WE'RE ABOU 35, 38 FEET UNDERGROUND.
IS THERE ANY OTHER CAVE SYSTEM, LIKE, GOING THIS WAY RIGHT HERE? THIS LOOKS LIKE IT DROPS DOWN.
IT ACTUALLY GOES DOWN FURTHER.
-YEAH, RIGHT.
AND THAT'S WHAT WE'RE THINKING, BEHIND SOME OF THESE BOULDERS HERE, THAT THERE'S A PASSAGE.
AND THIS WOULD GO ACROSS THE RAILROAD TRACKS -YEP.
-TO THAT OTHER HOUSE YEAH.
WHERE THAT MAJOR CAVE ENTRANCE IS.
RIGHT.
SO LORIE HAD VISIONS OF DEAD BODIES HERE IN THIS CAVE, AND I WANT TO TRY TO FIND EVIDENCE TO BACK THAT UP.
YEAH.
ARE YOU SEEING THIS? Johnson: OH, WOW.
WHAT IS THAT? LOOKS LIKE A PAIR OF ANTIQUE SCISSORS DOWN THERE.
NOW I'M NOT SURE WHAT KIND OF THAT'S JUST AN ARTIFACT.
ROSE -YES? YOU WOULD KNOW.
HAVE THEY EVER FOUND ANYTHING IN THESE CAVES? YEAH, THEY FOUND SOME OLD BOTTLES AND THINGS LIKE THAT.
ANY SCISSORS OR ANY KINDS OF EQUIPMENT? I'VE NEVER KNOWN THEM TO FIND ANY SCISSORS.
NO.
THESE SCISSORS ARE A REALLY COOL FIND, BUT I'M NOT REALLY SURE HOW IT'S RELEVANT TO THIS CASE.
SO THIS IS THE DEVICE THAT I MADE.
IT'S A MOTION DETECTOR THAT UTILIZES DOPPLER RADAR, AND IT'S SENSITIVE ENOUGH ACTUALLY TO DETEC ANY KIND OF MOVEMEN OR OSCILLATIONS ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THESE WALLS.
ALL RIGHT.
SO I'M ALSO BRINGING OU MY MEL METER, AND IT GIVES OFF ITS OWN ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELD, AND IF AT ANY POINT, ANYTHING BREAKS THAT FIELD, IT'LL SOUND THIS AUDIBLE TONE.
[ METER BEEPS .]
Johnson: I'M GOING TO DO A REMOTE REVIEW.
WHAT A REMOTE REVIEW IS, IS ACTUALLY TAKING MY MIND DOWN INTO THE CAVES TO LOOK AROUND THE SURROUNDINGS.
I WANT TO SEARCH FOR THE SOULS THAT ARE DOWN THERE.
OH [BLEEP.]
GUYS.
I SEE THE PRIEST.
OH, WOW.
THERE'S TWO DEAD BODIES DOWN THERE.
OH.
HE TRIED TO PROTECT THEM.
HE WAS JUST TOO LATE.
THE PRIES HAS SO MUCH GUILT.
I THINK THIS IS THE REASON WHY HE'S HOLDING HIMSELF EARTHBOUND.
I THINK THE PRIEST WAS TRYING TO SAVE THE TWO SOULS THAT ARE DOWN THERE.
THEY WERE SICK, AND I BELIEVE THAT, BECAUSE HE KNEW THEY WERE SICK, HE TRIED TO GIVE THEM THEIR LAST RITES, BUT IT WAS TOO LATE BY THE TIME HE GOT BACK, AND THEY DIED.
THESE SPIRITS ARE TRAPPED, AND THEY NEED TO BE RELEASED.
Groff: DO YOU HAVE MY RECORDER? YEAH, I DO ACTUALLY.
YEAH, LET ME TRY THAT.
ALL RIGHT.
ROLLING ON THE RECORDER.
LET'S JUST SIT HERE FOR A COUPLE SECONDS AND JUST NOT SAY ANYTHING.
[ SCRATCHING .]
-YOU HEAR THAT? -LISTEN.
[ SCRATCHING .]
WHOA! WHAT WAS THAT? [ METER BEEPING .]
YOU HEAR THAT? THERE'S SOME SCRATCHING ON THE OTHER SIDE.
-BOB, YOU HEARD THAT, RIGHT? -I HEARD SOMETHING.
SOUNDED LIKE -- ALMOST LIKE DIGGING.
WHOA! CAN THERE BE ANY ANIMALS ON THE OTHER SIDE? DOUBTFUL BECAUSE ALL THE ENTRANCES HAVE BEEN CLOSED OFF, SO NOTHING COULD GET IN.
-RIGHT.
AND THIS IS WHERE WE THINK THE ENTRANCE TO THE OTHER CAVE LEADS.
-YEAH.
WHAT'S ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THAT CAVE? LET'S DO THESE BLESSINGS, GUYS.
LET'S SEND THESE SOULS TO THE LIGHT.
I'M GOING TO DO A BLESSING WITH THE HOLY WATER FROM THE CATHOLIC CHURCH.
SINCE THE PRIEST DIDN' GIVE THEM THEIR LAST RITES, I'M GOING TO HAVE TO DO IT FOR HIM.
ETERNAL REST GRANTED TO THEM, OH, LORD, AND LET LIGHT SHINE UPON THEM.
MAY THEY REST IN PEACE.
WITH THE FATHER, THE SON.
YOU'RE RELEASED FROM THIS BURDEN.
GUYS, THERE'S FOG COMING OUT OF THE HOLE.
YEAH, SHE JUS RELEASED THE SPIRITS OF WHAT WAS DOWN IN THIS CAVE, AND NOW IT APPEARS THAT THERE IS SOME SORT OF FOG COMING OUT FROM THE HOLE, WHICH I CAN'T EXPLAIN.
THAT NEGATIVE IS TRYING TO GAS US OUT.
[ METER BEEPING .]
-HOLY CRAP.
-OH, MY GOD.
Groff: YEAH, THAT'S CRA IT'S, LIKE, OFF THE CHARTS.
IT'S, LIKE, DANCING AROUND.
SHE JUST RELEASED THE SPIRITS OF WHAT WAS DOWN IN THIS CAVE, AND NOW IT APPEARS THAT THERE IS SOME SORT OF FOG COMING OUT FROM THE HOLE, WHICH I CAN'T EXPLAIN.
Johnson: THAT NEGATIVE IS TRYING TO GAS US OUT.
[ METER BEEPING .]
Groff: WHOA.
HOLY CRAP.
THAT'S INSANE.
Saint: I MEAN, I KNOW LIMESTONE GIVES OFF ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELDS, BUT THIS THING IS GOING OFF LIKE IT'S RIGHT NEX TO A POWER LINE OR ELECTRICAL OUTLET.
LOOK.
LOOK.
IT JUST CHANGED RED.
-YEAH.
-GREEN.
SO SOMETHING IS MOVING BACK THERE.
THE ONLY WAY IT SHOULD BE DOING THAT IS IF IT'S DETECTING SOME KIND OF MOTION ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THESE WALLS.
Bob: SHOULD BE NOTHING ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THESE WALLS.
Johnson: I JUST GO CALLED A NAME.
Carter: OKAY.
I AM GETTING VERY DIZZY, AND I'M STARTING TO FEEL REALLY WEIRD.
I NEED TO GO BACK UP.
WHATEVER THAT NEGATIVE ENTITY WAS THAT THE PRIEST SEEN, IT'S HERE RIGHT NOW.
IT'S CHANGING ITS FORMS.
-IT'S NOT GOOD.
-NO, IT'S NOT GOOD.
IF YOU ARE NOT OF THE FATHER, THE SON AND THE HOLY GHOST, YOU ARE NOT WELCOME HERE.
IT'S TRYING TO PUSH US OUT OF HERE.
WE NEED TO SEAL THIS CAVE.
ROSE, HOW ARE YOU DOING, BABE? I JUST IT FELT VERY OVERWHELMING.
COULD BE BECAUSE THE NEGATIVE IS TRYING TO ATTACH ITSELF TO YOU.
YEAH, I THINK IT WAS.
IT WAS.
SOMETHING IS PISSED OFF DOWN THERE NOW.
I'M ACTUALLY CLOSING THIS OFF.
I'M USING BLACK SALT.
BLACK SALT HAS BEEN USED FOR HUNDREDS OF YEARS TO BLOCK OFF NEGATIVE ENERGY.
I PUT A LINE SO NOTHING NEGATIVE OR ANYTHING CAN COME OUT OF IT.
IF IT'S NEGATIVE, IT'S GOING TO BE TRAPPED IN THERE.
BASICALLY PUTTING A DOOR DOWN.
I SMELL A SMELL NOW.
OH, THAT NEGATIVE IS PISSED, AND I'M SMELLING REALLY BAD STUFF.
I FEEL IT'S GOING THAT WAY.
YEAH, IT'S GOING AWAY FROM HERE.
BILL -YEAH? WHERE'S NICK AND ELIZABETH? THEY'RE IN THE OTHER SIDE.
OH [BLEEP.]
IT'S GOING AFTER NICK AND ELIZABETH.
IS THERE ANYBODY WE CAN GET AHOLD OF AND LET THEM KNOW THAT IT'S PISSED? NICK, ELIZABETH, CAN YOU COPY? WE DON'T HAVE ANY RADIO SIGNAL.
THAT NEGATIVE IS GOING RIGHT TO THEM.
WE HAVE GOT TO GE OVER THERE RIGHT NOW.
WE SEEM TO BE HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THE AIR VENT.
PROBABLY GOING TO HAVE A HARD TIME BREATHING HERE IN A LITTLE WHILE.
ALL RIGHT.
WE SHOULD GET OUT OF HERE THEN.
ALL RIGHT.
Hartley: HEY, GUYS.
CAN YOU HEAR ME? I'M STILL NOT ABLE TO REACH THEM.
Johnson: OH, MY GOD.
HEY, GUYS.
CAN YOU COPY THIS? ELIZABETH, YOU OKAY? -YOU ALL RIGHT? -WHERE'S NICK? THEY'RE STILL DOWN THERE.
THEY'RE ON THEIR -OH, MY GOD.
NICK NEEDS TO GET OU OF THERE RIGHT NOW.
-HE HAS TO GET OUT.
-NICK, ARE YOU OKAY? -UGH.
-IT'S PISSED.
-HORRIBLE.
-IT'S PISSED.
IT DOESN'T WANT TO LET GO, AND IT IS DEATH.
YOU ALL RIGHT? I COULDN'T GET UP.
I LITERALLY HAD TO USE ALL MY STRENGTH TO PULL MYSELF UP.
MY HANDS ARE ALL CUT UP.
SO SOMETHING DIDN' WANT YOU DOWN THERE.
YEAH, IT WAS, LIKE, INSTANTLY, EVERYTHING WENT WRONG.
-AND IT'S OUT HERE? -I HONESTLY Johnson: I'M VERY HAPPY THAT YOU BOTH ARE SAFE.
I WANT TO CLOSE OFF THIS END OF THE CAVE.
I WANT TO STOP WHATEVER IS IN THERE NOT TO BE ABLE TO COME OUT.
-ALL RIGHT.
LET'S GO TAKE ALL THIS GEAR OFF.
Groff: WE WENT DOWN TO CONFRON THIS NEGATIVE ENTITY, AND IT BASICALLY GASSED US OUT OF THE CAVE.
THIS IS ONE OF THE MOS DANGEROUS THINGS THAT I'VE HAD TO DEAL WITH.
LET'S CLOSE THIS CRAP UP.
Groff: AND LORIE, HOPEFULLY SHE'S ABLE TO KIND OF SEAL THIS PROPERTY AND KEEP IT OUT OF HERE, BUT IT'S KIND OF LIKE PUTTING A BAND-AID OVER A GEYSER.
I'M GOING TO FIRST PUT I ON YOU GUYS' SIDE TO KEEP YOU PROTECTED.
THE NEGATIVE IS STILL DOWN IN THAT CAVE.
WHAT I'VE DONE IS I'VE ONLY PUT IT IN TIME OUT.
IT'S WAY MORE POWERFUL THAN YOU THINK.
Saint: FATHER CAHILL, ARE YOU STILL HERE WITH US? IS THERE ANYBODY HERE WITH US? BILL WAS GETTING SO MANY READINGS BEFORE ALONG THIS PATH THAT FATHER CAHILL WOULD TAKE WITH HIS MEL METER, AND NOW THERE'S LITERALLY NOTHING.
I WANT TO OFFER THESE TWO CROSSES TO THE TWO INDIVIDUALS THAT LOST THEIR LIVES IN THE CAVE SYSTEM UNDER THE ADAM STEPHEN'S HOUSE.
I MAKE THIS OFFERING TO HONOR YOU BOTH IN LIFE AND DEATH.
MAY YOU REST IN PEACE.
FATHER CAHILL, WE KNOW YOUR INTENTIONS WERE TRUE AND KIND, AND YOU WERE JUST TRYING TO BRING PEACE TO THE SOULS THAT LOST THEIR LIVES IN THE CAVES.
LORIE DELIVERED THEM BOTH THEIR LAST RITES, AND I HOPE WHA WE'VE DONE HERE TODAY CAN HELP YOUR SPIRI MOVE ON AS WELL.
HI, DANA.
SO WE THINK THAT WHAT ACTUALLY STIRRED UP ALL THIS ACTIVITY THAT YOU SUDDENLY HAD WAS DEFINITELY THE EXCAVATING, AND THAT'S KIND OF WHAT AWOKE WHO WE BELIEVE TO BE FATHER CAHILL BECAUSE YOU BOTH WITNESSED THE SAME EXACT THING RUNNING THE SAME PATH.
WE BELIEVE HE'S KIND OF BEEN STUCK IN THIS RESIDUAL TIME LOOP, DOING THE SAME THING EVERY NIGHT, WHICH IS KIND OF WHAT WE SEE IN A RESIDUAL HAUNTING.
YEAH, EXACTLY.
THAT'S A VERY NORMAL OCCURRENCE FOR A RESIDUAL HAUNT.
SO I JUST DID A SWEEP ALONG THE PATH WHERE YOU SAW THE MIS AND THE PRIEST, AND I DIDN'T GE ANY UNUSUAL READINGS, SO I BELIEVE THE SPIRITS HAUNTING THIS LOCATION ARE NOW AT PEACE.
GOOD.
THAT'S A RELIEF.
YES, IT IS.
Mitchell: OH, I GO SOMETHING FOR YOU.
THERE WAS A HISTORIAN JOURNALIS WHO HAD BEEN DOING SOME RESEARCH, AND THESE ARE ACTUALLY HIS HANDWRITTEN NOTES DATED 1936, AND HE'S WRITING ABOU THE ADAM STEPHEN'S HOUSE RENOVATIONS, AND HE WRITES, "ALSO, ONE TENANT, REMOVING FLOORBOARDS FROM THE KITCHEN, FOUND A NATURAL CAVE WITH SOME SKELETONS THEREIN.
" ABOUT THAT? -OH, WOW.
DANA, FINDING THE FAC THAT THESE TWO PEOPLE ACTUALLY DID EXIS AND DIED UNDERNEATH THE KITCHEN IS PRETTY AMAZING.
YEAH, THAT'S PRETTY AMAZING RESEARCH.
IT WAS BEFORE THIS.
EVEN THOUGH THERE AREN' ANY RECORDS PROVING WHO THESE TWO PEOPLE WERE, I THINK THAT, BETWEEN LORIE GIVING THE LAST RITES AND THE OFFERING WE GAVE BY THE TRACKS EARLIER THIS MORNING, WE'VE REALLY HELPED MOVE THESE TWO SPIRITS ON.
YOU KNOW, I HAVE TO SAY, I KNOW, BEFORE, YOU WERE ALMOST HESITAN TO REALLY TALK ABOUT IT, BUT YOU COMING FORWARD AND TALKING ABOU YOUR EXPERIENCE, I FEEL, REALLY HONESTLY HELPED PUT THE SPIRIT TO REST.
WELL, IT DOES MAKE ME FEEL VALIDATED BECAUSE, LIKE I SAID, I'VE OFTEN QUESTIONED MY SANITY WHEN IT CAME TO THESE THINGS.
I FEEL A SENSE OF CLOSURE HERE.
IT MAKES ME HOPE THAT PEOPLE WILL NOT BE AFRAID TO TELL THEIR STORIES BECAUSE THIS IS REAL STUFF, AND IT IS HAPPENING TO REAL PEOPLE.
I'M GLAD THE TEAM WAS ABLE TO BRING SOME CLOSURE TO THE ADAM STEPHEN'S HOUSE, BUT KNOWING THAT THERE'S AN OPENING NOW TO THIS CAVE SYSTEM IN SHEPHERDSTOWN, IT'S QUITE UNSETTLING.
IF THESE CAVES ARE REALLY THE SOURCE OF THE ACTIVITY, WHAT DOES THAT MEAN FOR THE TOWN? IS IT ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE IT RETURNS TO SHEPHERDSTOWN?
