Ghost Adventures (2008) s03e01 Episode Script

Pennhurst State School and Hospital

1 Zak: THIS IS HOT.
THIS IS WHAT WE LOOK FOR, GUYS.
Computerized voice: HIT.
"HIT.
" IT JUST SAID, "HIT.
" WHOA! Nick: JESUS.
[ CLATTERING .]
WHOA, WHOA, WHOA.
WHO DID THAT?! ARE YOU OKAY? Zak: WHOA! Aaron: WHAT? Zak: MY NAME IS ZAK BAGANS.
I NEVER BELIEVED IN GHOSTS UNTIL I CAME FACE-TO-FACE WITH ONE, SO I SET OUT ON A QUES TO CAPTURE WHAT I ONCE SAW ONTO VIDEO.
IS THERE ANYBODY HERE? [ BANG .]
OH, GOD! WITH NO BIG CAMERA CREWS FOLLOWING US AROUND, I AM JOINED ONLY BY MY FELLOW INVESTIGATOR NICK GROFF AND OUR EQUIPMENT TECH, AARON GOODWIN.
THE THREE OF US WILL TRAVEL TO SOME OF THE MOST HIGHLY ACTIVE PARANORMAL LOCATIONS, WHERE WE WILL SPEND AN ENTIRE NIGH BEING LOCKED DOWN FROM DUSK UNTIL DAWN.
IF THIS IS THE PORTAL TO HELL, WHY DON'T YOU COME UP OUT OF THAT GROUND AND GET US? RAW.
DID SOMEONE JUST SCRATCH ME? EXTREME.
[BLEEP.]
STOP! UGH! [BLEEP.]
STOP RUNNING! THESE ARE OUR GHOST ADVENTURES.

WE'RE IN SPRING CITY, PENNSYLVANIA, TO INVESTIGATE PROBABLY ONE OF THE MOS CONTROVERSIAL LOCATIONS EVER -- THE PENNHURST STATE SCHOOL.
THIS PLACE OPENED IN 1908 TO SEPARATE THOSE WITH MENTAL DISABILITIES FROM SOCIETY.
THERE WAS NO DENYING THE ATROCITIES THAT TOOK PLACE IN THESE BUILDINGS.
IT WAS A MONUMEN TO SHAME.
SITTING ON OVER 100 ACRES OF LAND, THIS VAST NETWORK OF BUILDINGS IS CONNECTED BY AN UNDERGROUND TUNNEL SYSTEM THAT WE WILL HAVE FULL ACCESS TO DURING OUR LOCKDOWN.
OVER 10,000 CALLED THIS INSTITUTION HOME.
ABOUT HALF NEVER LEFT.
Dr.
Conroy: IF YOU WERE GONNA PICK A PLACE THAT WOULD HAVE SOME ANGRY SOULS IN IT, THIS WOULD BE A GOOD ONE.
WE'RE HERE TO FIND OU IF THEY'RE STILL TRAPPED WITHIN THE WALLS, WHERE THE DARKEST OF ENERGY STILL LINGERS.
[ MOANING .]
IF YOU HAD A CHILD WHO WAS MENTALLY RETARDED, YOUR MINISTER, YOUR DOCTOR, YOUR FRIENDS, EVERYONE TOLD YOU THE BEST THING TO DO IS PUT THAT CHILD AWAY AND GET ON WITH YOUR LIFE.
YOU WOULD GO INTO A BUILDING, AND THERE WOULD BE 100 PEOPLE WITH PROFOUND MENTAL RETARDATION LITERALLY IN A SMALL SPACE, MILLING, AND THAT WAS THEIR DAY.
SOME OF THEM WOULD BE CLOTHED.
MANY WOULDN'T BE.
YOU PUSH 100 PEOPLE INTO A ROOM AND YOU PROVIDE THEM WITH NOTHING, THEY DEVELOP ALL KINDS OF BIZARRE BEHAVIORS, SOME OF WHICH CAN BE DANGEROUS TO THEMSELVES, SOME OF WHICH CAN BE DANGEROUS TO OTHER PEOPLE.
THIS PLACE WAS DEAFENING BACK IN THE DAYS WHEN IT WAS IN OPERATION.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN, "DEAFENING"? SCREECHES AND SCREAMS AND SPOOKY NOISES AND SOUNDS, AND YOU REALLY COULDN' HEAR YOURSELF THINK.
AND MANY PEOPLE LOST THE WILL TO SPEAK.
PEOPLE CAME HERE WHO COULD SPEAK AND JUS STOPPED TALKING.
AND THEY WITHERED.
PEOPLE DID NOT GET BETTER AT PENNHURST.
I CAME TO PENNHURS WHEN I WAS 8.
8 YEARS OLD? THEY PUT ME THROUGH KINDERGARTEN.
I HAD A LOT OF TROUBLE WHEN I WAS IN SCHOOL.
MM-HMM.
I SCREAMED A LOT AND I TANTRUM A LO BECAUSE OF THINGS I DIDN'T LIKE.
WE WERE SUPPOSED TO BE TAKING AWAY THEIR FREEDOM SO WE COULD TEACH THEM SKILLS TO LEARN HOW TO LIVE ALONGSIDE THE REST OF US IN SOCIETY.
INSTEAD, IT WAS THE OPPOSITE OF THAT.
INSTEAD OF TREATMENT, WE GAVE THEM HARM.
Potts: I REMEMBER BEING TIED DOWN TO THE BED, AND I REMEMBER BEING PU IN SECLUSION.
[ DOOR SLAMS .]
I BANGED MY HEAD ON THE WALL.
THAT WAS MY WAY OF GETTING ATTENTION.
THE HORRIFIC CONDITIONS REMAINED HIDDEN FROM SOCIETY UNTIL 1968, WHEN CORRESPONDENT BILL BALDINI DID A SERIES OF REPORTS THA BLEW THE LID OFF PENNHURST.
YOU WERE WORKING FOR A NEWS STATION AS A REPORTER? RIGHT, I WAS WORKING FOR A CBS STATION IN PHILADELPHIA.
WHEN I SAW WHAT WAS GOING ON HERE, I WAS IN ABSOLUTE SHOCK.
Baldini: THE CHILDREN WHO ARE ROTTING IN THEIR CAGES, CRIBS, AND BEDS CAN THANK SOCIETY FOR THEIR DREADFUL PLIGHT.
WENT INTO ONE WARD.
THERE WERE 80 CRIBS -- 80.
80 PEOPLE WHO COULD NOT WALK.
THERE WERE CAGES.
THERE WERE FLIES.
THERE WAS FECES.
AND THERE ARE TWO PEOPLE TO TAKE CARE OF THEM.
THESE PEOPLE WHO DID THA WERE ANGELIC, BUT YODO IT.
CAN' MM-HMM.
SO I ASKED, "SOME OF THESE KIDS ARE 3 AND 4 AND 5 YEARS OLD.
HOW COME THEY'RE NOT WALKING?" YOU KNOW WHAT THE REASON WAS? BECAUSE THEY DIDN' HAVE ENOUGH PEOPLE TO GO INTO THE CLOSET TO PU THE MATTRESSES ON THE FLOOR SO THEY CAN LEARN HOW TO CRAWL SO THEY CAN WALK, FOR FIVE OR SIX YEARS.
WOW.
THE DAILY EXPENDITURE HERE, IN 1968, WAS HALF OF WHAT THEY WERE PAYING FOR THE LARGE ANIMALS AT THE PHILADELPHIA ZOO.
ZOOS SPEND $7.
15 PER DAY ON THEIR WARDS.
PENNHURST CAN ONLY AFFORD $5.
90.
80% OF THA PAYS THE ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS AT THE INSTITUTION.
THIS LEAVES A MEAGER 75 CENTS TO PROVIDE FOR THE RETARDED.
FOR NEARLY 20 YEARS, WHEN I VISITED THIS PLACE, WHEN IT WAS FILLED WITH THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE, IN THIS SPOT, ALL YOU COULD HEAR WAS SCREAMING FROM ALL THOSE WINDOWS.
AND WHEN IT CLOSED IN 1987, IT WAS SILENT, AS IT IS NOW, AND IT GIVES ME THE CHILLS.
CAN YOU FAINTLY STILL HEAR THEM, THOUGH, IN A RESIDUAL WAY? I'LL NEVER FORGET IT.
IT'S PART OF ME.
I WAS JUST A YOUNG MAN -- 21 YEARS OLD -- WHEN I FIRST CAME TO THIS PLACE WITH 3,000 PEOPLE IN IT.
WOW.
AND ONE CAN NEVER FORGET.
IF YOU WERE TO [ EXHALES DEEPLY .]
PICK A PLACE THAT HAS A LO OF DARK ENERGY TO IT, WOULD YOU THINK THAT THIS PLACE MAY BE A GOOD CANDIDATE FOR BEING HAUNTED? IN MY LIFETIME, I COULDN' PICK A MORE LIKELY PLACE.
WHAT BUILDING WERE YOU IN? WHITMAN.
WHITMAN? YEAH, IT'S THE INFIRMARY BUILDING.
NOW, WHAT HAPPENED? WE WERE WALKING DOWN THE HALL INTO THE OPERATING ROOM, AND AT THE TIME, I DIDN'T HEAR ANYTHING.
BUT WHEN I WENT BACK AND LISTENED TO THE TAPE I WAS RECORDING, THERE WAS SOMEBODY THROWING UP VIOLENTLY IN THE BACKGROUND.
IT WAS NOT ANY OF US.
REALLY? YOU CAN SEE EVERYBODY'S FEE IN THE VIDEO.
EVERYBODY'S JUST WALKING.
IT'S BEEN EMPTY FOR A LONG TIME.
MANY PEOPLE WOULD AGREE THE ENERGY HERE IS PALPABLE.
IF THERE IS A PLACE WHERE THERE ARE SPIRITS, IT'S GOING TO BE HERE.
[ CLATTERING .]
Shh! WHAT WAS THAT? I DON'T KNOW.
Shh! Shh! Shh! WHAT THE HELL? DID YOU HEAR THAT, NICK? Nick: I HEARD THAT.
[ GRUNTING .]
ZAK, TAKE THIS.
THAT WAS FREAKING LOUD, DUDE.
AARON, HOLD THIS.
YEAH, MONKEY BOY.
[BLEEP.]
HERE.
TAKE THIS, NICK.
YEAH, I'LL GET IT.
HOLD ON.
IT SOUNDED LIKE IT CAME FROM THE SECOND FLOOR, NICK.
HANG ON.
COME HERE.
LOOK AT THIS.
LOOK.
OH, MY GOD.
DO YOU SEE THAT? GO IN.
DON'T EVEN [BLEEP.]
TELL ME THAT WAS WHAT WE HEARD, NICK.
THAT'S WHA IT SOUNDED LIKE, THOUGH.
I GOT CHILLS GOING UP MY BODY RIGHT NOW THAT ARE UNIMAGINABLE.
RIGHT WHEN I SAW IT -- THE DESK.
DID THAT [BLEEP.]
DESK JUST DO THAT? IS THA WHAT WE JUST HEARD? THAT'S A LOT OF ENERGY TO PICK THAT UP AND THROW IT LIKE THAT.
LOOK, LOOK, LOOK! LOOK AT THESE FRESH MARKS RIGHT THERE.
THAT'S FRESH.
LOOK AT THIS FRESH MARK RIGHT HERE -- LOOK.
LOOK AT THIS.
I SEE IT.
I SEE IT.
WERE YOU A PATIENT HERE? AND DID YOU JUST MOVE THIS DESK? IS THAT WHAT WE HEARD WHEN WE WERE OUTSIDE? NICK, THIS IS WHAT WE [BLEEP.]
HEARD, MAN.
THIS IS WHAT WE HEARD.
WAS THERE A DARKNESS THATSTILL WAS GOING ON INSIDE THESE WALLS? WE FOUND THAT THE AVERAGE PERSON WHO LIVED HERE IN 1978 WOULD GET AN AVERAGE OF THREE MINUTES PER YEAR OF PSYCHIATRIC TREATMENT.
THREE MINUTES PER YEAR.
WE FOUND HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE ON TOOTHBRUSHING PROGRAMS WHO HAD NO TEETH.
WE FOUND A LACK OF SERVICES.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN -- "THEY WOULD HAVE NO TEETH?" THE FIRST OFFENSE FOR BITING SOMEONE WOULD BE SOME KIND OF BEHAVIORAL TREATMEN AND AN ATTEMPT TO TEACH THE PERSON NOT TO BITE.
BUT AFTER ONE OR TWO MORE BITING INCIDENTS, TEETH WERE PULLED.
THERE'S A DENTIST'S CHAIR OVER ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THIS CAMPUS WHERE EVERY TOOTH WAS PULLED FROM HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE'S HEADS.
TRYING TO FIND THAT FAMOUS DENTIST'S CHAIR, WHERE THEY WOULD PROBABLY HAVE SOME OF THE SICKEST PUNISHMEN I'VE EVER HEARD OF IN MY LIFE.
THIS IS IT.
THIS IS IT? THAT'S THE CHAIR.
Zak: WOW.
THEY WOULD PUNISH THE PATIENTS.
IF THEY BIT SOMEBODY -- WELL, IF THEY DID I TWICE OR THREE TIMES, THEY WOULD SIT IN THIS CHAIR THAT WE'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR, AND THEY WOULD DO WHAT, DR.
CONROY? REMOVE ALL TEETH SO THERE WOULD BE NO MORE BITING.
YEAH, AND FROM WHAT YOU SAID, THERE WAS A LOT OF PATIENTS IN THIS INSTITUTION THAT HAD A MOUTHFUL OF NOTHING BUT GUMS.
CORRECT.
HUNDREDS BY THE TIME WE GOT HERE.
WHEW! IF THERE'S ANY BAD ENERGY, I'M FEELING I GO STRAIGHT THROUGH MY BACK RIGHT ABOUT THIS MOMENT.
[ EXHALES SHARPLY .]
WE HAVE A TREMENDOUS CAPACITY TO TURN PEOPLE INTO LESS THAN US, AND ONCE YOU DO THAT, YOU CAN JUSTIFY A HELL OF A LO OF AWFULNESS.
I LOOKED OVER, AND I SAW A LITTLE GIRL.
WE FELT HER ENERGY.
Dr.
Conroy: THE QUAKER BUILDINGS -- IF THERE ARE HOT SPOTS, THEY'D HAVE TO BE THERE.
I SAID TO HIM, "WHAT'S THE MATTER?" AND HE SAID, "THERE'S SOMEBODY IN THE WINDOW.
" BACK THEN, MENTAL RETARDATION WAS CONSIDERED -- YOU WERE MENTALLY ILL.
MENTAL RETARDATION AND MENTAL ILLNESS ARE SEPARATE.
AND IF THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH YOU WHEN YOU WERE MENTALLY ILL, THEY WOULD SEND YOU UP HERE.
IF YOU WERE A PYROMANIAC -- GIVE YOU AN EXAMPLE.
YOUNG KID WAS A PYROMANIAC.
HAD AN I.
Q.
OF MAYBE 110, 115.
HE COMES UP HERE.
HE'S HERE WITH ALL THESE UNFORTUNATE RETARDED CHILDREN, AND HE BECOMES A PREDATOR.
WAS THERE SEXUAL ABUSE HERE? ABSOLUTELY.
CONSTANTLY.
EVERY NIGHT.
BY PATIENTS OR THE STAFF? BOTH.
[ CHILD MOANING, SOBBING .]
HAVE YOU BEEN DOWN IN THE TUNNELS YET? NO, WE HAVEN'T.
THAT WILL BLOW YOUR MIND.
OKAY, NICK, IT'S DAYLIGHT OUTSIDE.
BUT AS YOU CAN SEE, EVEN IN DAYLIGHT, WE NEED FLASHLIGHTS TO GO EXPLORE THE HOSPITAL.
RIGHT, GENE? OH, YES.
GENE DOES SECURITY HERE, AND GENE STILL GETS AFRAID TO GO BY HIMSELF SOMETIMES, DON'T YOU, GENE? EXACTLY.
WOULD NOT GO IN THE TUNNEL SYSTEM ALONE.
[ CHUCKLES .]
Munro: WE CAME HERE AT NIGH A FEW TIMES, AND IT WAS ALMOS TOO MUCH TO BEAR.
VERY CREEPY.
LOTS OF NOISES, LOTS OF ACTIVITY.
YOU'RE NEVER ALONE IN HERE.
IT LITERALLY FEELS LIKE SOMEONE'S GOT THEIR HAND ON YOUR SHOULDER.
YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? YOU STILL GET NERVOUS WALKING AROUND HERE, HUH? I ABSOLUTELY DO.
IT'S ALL RIGHT.
HEY, NICK, YOU HAVING ANY DéJà VU EXPERIENCES AT THIS MOMENT? [ NICK LAUGHS .]
THE BENEFITS OF THIS ONE, THOUGH, NICK, IS, THIS TIME, WE CAN'T LOCK YOU IN THERE.
THIS PLACE IS JUST NOT RIGHT.
WHAT BUILDING, DO YOU THINK, HAD THE WORST ENERGY ATTACHED TO IT? MY VOTE HAS TO GO FOR THE QUAKER BUILDINGS, WHICH ARE RIGHT OVER THERE, AND THE TUNNELS UNDERNEATH THEM.
IT WAS KNOWN FOR HAVING THE MOST DIFFICULT PEOPLE TO HANDLE.
THOSE TWO ARE HOT SPOTS PROBABLY, HUH? IF THERE ARE HOT SPOTS, THEY'D HAVE TO BE THERE.
Nick: WOW.
LOOK AT THESE STEPS.
YEAH.
OKAY.
IT'S DOWN THIS HALLWAY.
THIS WAS THE ROOM.
WHAT HAPPENED IN HERE? ME AND A GROUP OF MY FRIENDS WERE STANDING HERE.
I BELIEVE MY FRIEND WAS HOLDING A CANDLE OVER HERE, AND THE CANDLE WENT OUT, AND WE HEARD A LITTLE GIRL LAUGHING.
[ GIRL GIGGLING .]
AND AT FIRST, ONLY ME AND MY ONE FRIEND HEARD IT, AND WE LOOKED AT EACH OTHER LIKE, "DID YOU JUST HEAR THAT?" AND MY OTHER FRIENDS HADN'T HEARD IT, AND AS SOON AS THEY ASKED US, IT HAPPENED AGAIN.
DID YOU GO PLAY WITH HER? [ LAUGHS .]
WE LOOKED FOR HER.
WE LOOKED, LIKE, TO SEE IF ANYONE ELSE WAS IN THE BUILDING, JUST IN CASE, BUT THERE WAS NO ONE HERE.
WHAT WOULD YOU HAVE DONE IF YOU WOULD HAVE SAW THE GHOST OF A LITTLE GIRL LOOKING AT YOU AND GIGGLING IN HERE? WELL, I HAVE SEEN A LITTLE GIRL HERE.
REALLY? YES.
IT WAS IN FRANKLIN.
ME AND MY FRIENDS WERE SITTING, LIKE, ALL AROUND THE ROOM.
I LOOKED OVER, AND I SAW A LITTLE GIRL.
SHE WAS SITTING WITH HER KNEES UP TO HER CHEST, AND SHE WAS STARING AT ME.
SHE WAS WEARING A DRESS, AND I DIDN' SAY ANYTHING.
WE TURNED BACK ON OUR FLASHLIGHTS, AND THE REST OF THE TIME THAT WE WERE THERE, WE FELT TERRIBLE.
WE FELT LIKE WE HAD BEEN THROWN DOWN FLIGHTS OF STEPS, AND WE WERE REALLY, REALLY DEPRESSED.
WE FELT HER ENERGY.
Girl: LA LA LA NOW, YOU'RE AFFILIATED WITH PENNHURST'S MANAGEMENT HERE, WHICH IS OVERSEEING THIS.
NOW, THE CONTRACTOR AND THE CONTRACTOR'S SON -- 21 YEARS OF AGE -- DURING THE DAY ON A SUNDAY, HE STOPPED YOU GUYS IN THE MIDDLE OF A CONVERSATION.
HE POINTED UP THERE? POINTED RIGHT TO THE WINDOW AND COULDN'T REALLY SAY ANYTHING.
AND I SAW IT IN HIS FACE, SO I SAID TO HIM, "WHAT'S THE MATTER?" AND HE SAID, "THERE'S SOMEBODY IN THE WINDOW.
" AND I TURNED AND LOOKED AND SAW EXACTLY WHERE HE WAS LOOKING, BECAUSE I COULD SEE THAT THE WINDOWS WERE BACK.
I COULD SEE THE CURTAINS OPEN.
AND AS WE WALKED TOWARDS THEM, THE BLINDS WERE CLOSED.
COULD YOU ALMOST MAKE -- ALMOST LIKE A FIGURE? LIKE A FIGURE, YES.
THEN WE CHECKED THE ENTIRE BUILDING, AND ALL THE TUNNELS WERE SEALED.
ALL THE OTHER DOORS WERE SEALED.
DID YOU GET A CHILL? I GOT A CHILL.
CHILLS ARE GOOD.
CHILLS ARE NICE.
VERY NICE.
THESE ARE THE CURTAINS IN QUESTION RIGHT HERE.
ZAK, YOU KNOW WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO DO? I'D LIKE TO CALL STEVE RIGHT NOW AND SEE IF HIS SON'S AROUND SO HE CAN COME DOWN AND TELL THE EXACT SAME STORY.
I WOULD LOVE TO DO THAT, 'CAUSE THIS IS A GREAT STORY.
NICK, LOOK AT WHAT EVEN ADDS TO THIS.
DOES IT SHOCK YOU A LITTLE BIT, NOTICING WHA I JUST NOTICED? YEAH.
THESE CURTAINS ARE COVERED WITH A HEAVY, METAL, WIRE MESH THAT YOU CANNOT OPEN.
NOBODY COULD GET TO, GEORGE.
ABSOLUTELY.
DOES THEVEN MORE NOW?U IT FREAKS ME OU BECAUSE YOU KNOW WHAT? YOU CAN'T PULL THE CURTAINS OPEN.
WE DIDN'T EVEN COME UP AND LOOK AT THAT.
WHEN WE CAME THROUGH, WE THOUGHT SOMEBODY WAS IN HERE, AND NOW THIS IS THE FIRST TIME SEEING THAT MYSELF.
AN "X" CAMERA.
YES, SIR.
DO YOU BELIEVE IN GHOSTS NOW? I DO NOW.
JOIN THE CLUB.
GO CHECK OUT THAT WINDOW.
'CAUSE YOU CAN'T TOUCH THE CURTAINS.
YOU CAN'T TOUCH THE CURTAINS.
NUH-UNH.
YEAH.
[ LAUGHS .]
WOW.
THESE WERE THEY WERE BACK.
THEY WERE BACK.
MAN, I WOULDN'T LIE TO YOU.
I'M ACTUALLY KIND OF SURPRISED.
EVEN WHEN WE CAME UP HERE YOU CAN'T GE TO THESE CURTAINS.
NO.
WOW.
THESE WERE MOVED, AND THIS IS NOT -- THIS IS SOLID.
SEEING TWO GUYS KNOW THAT PARANORMAL DOES EXIS FOR THE FIRST TIME IS APRECIOUS MOMENT.
NOW, THERE'S SOMETHING THAT YOU WANTED TO SHOW ME? YES.
OKAY.
WHOA, WHOA, WHOA.
THIS IS A FAMILY SHOW.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING? GONNA FLASH ANYONE.
OKAY.
WHOOSH! THAT'S THE ADMINISTRATION BUILDING AT PENNHURST.
DéJà VU, RIGHT, AT SLOSS FURNACE? THE GIRL HAD SLOSS FURNACE AT THE SAME SPOT, DIDN'T SHE? Nick: YEAH, SHE DID.
WOW.
SO, GUYS, RIGHT HERE, LET'S DO OUR "X" MAP.
LET'S PUT AN "X" RIGHT HERE, AND WE'LL PUT ANOTHER "X" RIGHT HERE.
THE SUN IS FADING FAST.
THAT MEANS IT'S LOCKDOWN TIME.
SO WE DECIDED TO FIND THE SMALLEST HELICOPTER WE COULD FIND IN PENNSYLVANIA.
NO, YOU'RE RIGHT.
WE'RE NOT TAKING ONE OF THESE BIG, COMFORTABLE-LOOKING HELICOPTERS, WHICH WE THOUGHT WE WERE.
WE'RE GONNA TAKE LITTLE MINI-ME, AND WE'RE GONNA DO THIS BECAUSE PENNHURST IS SO BIG.
WE WANT TO SEE AN OVERHEAD VIEW OF ALL THE BUILDINGS BEFORE LOCKDOWN.
THIS IS AWESOME! CAN WE WALK UNDER THAT? YEAH, YEAH, I THINK SO.
COME ON.
[ CHUCKLES .]
WOW.
IT'S ALMOST TIME FOR OUR LOCKDOWN.
FIRST TIME WE'VE EVER BEGAN OUR LOCKDOWN BY GETTING DROPPED OFF BY A HELICOPTER.
AARON'S DOWN THERE.
HE'S FILMING US RIGHT NOW, AND NICK AND I WANTED TO GE AN AERIAL VIEW TO CHECK OUT THE SURROUNDINGS.
WHEW! LOOK AT THIS PART.
I'M FLYING.
OH, MY LORD.
OKAY.
WE GOT THE GREEN LIGH TO LAND THERE.
ALL RIGHT.
NOW THAT WE SAW AN AERIAL OF THIS ENTIRE NETWORK OF BUILDINGS AND HOW IT'S ALL LAID OUT, LET'S GET OUR GEAR.
LET'S PLAN OUT OUR PLAN OF ATTACK FOR OUR LOCKDOWN.
DUDE, I JUST HEARD TALKING OVER HERE.
I SWEAR.
COME HERE.
WHAT WAS THAT? YEAH, WHAT WAS THAT? [ CLATTERING .]
[BLEEP.]
ARE YOU OKAY? ALL RIGHT.
THE TIME'S COME.
THE SUN HAS SET.
THAT'S THE BUILDING WE'RE GONNA GET LOCKED DOWN INSIDE, AND THIS IS GONNA BE A REAL LOCKDOWN, BECAUSE YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO SCREW THAT DOOR SHUT.
YES.
ALL RIGHT.
WE'RE GONNA BE ABLE TO ACCESS ALL THESE BUILDINGS HERE THROUGH THE UNDERGROUND TUNNEL SYSTEM, WHICH GOES FOR MILES.
ALL THE OTHER BUILDINGS HAVE THESE DOUBLE LOCKS ON THEM, OR THEY'RE EITHER WELDED SHU OR PLYWOODED UP, AND WE CAN'T GE OUT OF THOSE BUILDINGS, CAN WE? NO, YOU CANNOT GET OUT.
THAT'S GOOD NEWS FOR US.
SO, WITH THAT SAID, LET'S GO.
WE GOT AN EXTERIOR CAMERA SITTING OUT THERE.
AARON, GET INSIDE HERE.
LET'S DO THIS.
HEAR THAT? [ DRILL WHIRRING .]
HE'S LOCKING US DOWN THE REAL WAY.
YOU NOTICE THAT THESE WINDOWS ARE OPEN, BUT I CAN'T FIT OUT OF THERE.
Aaron: WE'RE LOCKED IN.
SEE YOU, JEFF! SEE YOU AT 6:00 A.
M.
ALL RIGHT.
WE'RE IN THE ADMINISTRATION BUILDING.
THIS IS WHERE WE'VE CALLED BASE.
WE HAVE A TOTAL OF EIGHT "X" CAMERAS.
THE FIRST "X" IS THE MAYFLOWER BUILDING.
THIS IS ON THE THIRD FLOOR, WHERE BRIANA, THE GIRL WE INTERVIEWED EARLIER, HEARD A GIRL LAUGHING.
THE NEXT "X" IS THE HERSHEY BUILDING.
THIS IS THE TOP-FLOOR ROOM, WHERE GEORGE AND THE CONTRACTOR'S SON -- WE INTERVIEWED THEM BOTH EARLIER -- THEY SAW AN APPARITION, AND THE CURTAINS OPENED BY THEMSELVES.
WE INTERVIEWED DR.
CONROY EARLIER.
WE ASKED HIM, SINCE HE KNOWS THIS PLACE BEST, IF THERE'S A PLACE HERE THAT HAS THE WORST ENERGY, WHERE WOULD IT BE? HE SAID QUAKER HALL, SO WE PUT AN "X" THERE.
AND HE SAID THE NEXT PLACE WOULD BE THE UNDERGROUND TUNNELS, SO WE PUT OUR UNDERGROUND TUNNEL "A" CAMERA AND "B" CAMERA THERE TO COVER THOSE.
NOW, THE NEXT "X" -- ROCKWELL BUILDING.
THIS IS THE HALLWAY WHERE NICK AND I WERE STANDING OUT EARLIER.
REMEMBER WE HEARD THAT LOUD, HUGE, METALLIC BANG? WE CRAWLED IN THROUGH A WINDOW, AND WE SAW A DESK PUSHED OVER.
IT LOOKS LIKE IT JUST GOT PUSHED OVER BECAUSE OF THE FRESH TRACKS IN THE DIRT.
THIS IS ALSO THE FIRST TIME THAT THIS PLACE HAS HAD AN ACTUAL PROFESSIONAL PARANORMAL INVESTIGATION TAKEN PLACE, AND WE'RE GONNA BE HERE FOR 12 HOURS.
LET'S START THIS.
JUST BEYOND THAT DOOR RIGHT THERE LEADS US INTO THE PORTAL WITH ALL THE OTHER BUILDINGS AND THE MILES OF UNDERGROUND TUNNELS.
LET'S DO IT.
CAN'T EVEN SEE.
JUST TO SHOW YOU HOW HARD IT IS TO WALK -- NICK, TURN OFF YOUR NIGHT VISION REAL QUICK, WILL YOU? GO AHEAD.
I'M LOOKING THROUGH THIS LITTLE, TEENY, TINY SCREEN.
THAT'S THE ONLY WAY I CAN SEE.
ALL THIS LIGHT HERE THAT YOU SEE -- THAT'S NIGHT VISION.
THAT'S INVISIBLE TO MY EYES.
ARE YOU ALL RIGHT? YEAH.
ARE YOU ALL RIGHT? WE'RE ALSO WEARING MASKS BECAUSE OF THE HIGH LEVELS OF ASBESTOS.
IT IS SO DARK.
[ CLATTERING .]
WHOA! [BLEEP.]
[BLEEP.]
ARE YOU OKAY? [BLEEP.]
ARE YOU OKAY? NO, DUDE.
IT'S OKAY.
DON'T WORRY ABOU THE CAMERA, DUDE.
ARE YOU OKAY? ARE YOU CUT ANYWHERE? I DON'T KNOW.
I CAN'T SEE.
CAN'T SEE ANYTHING.
LET ME SEE.
I GOT GLASS ALL IN MY ARM.
JESUS [BLEEP.]
ALL RIGHT.
I'M GONNA GO BACK.
I'M GONNA GO BACK TO GET FIRST AID.
WE HAVE A FIRST-AID BOX AT BASE.
LOOK AT THIS.
CAN YOU SEE THE CHAIR? Aaron: YEAH.
I FRICKING FACE-PLANTED INTO THIS.
LOOK AT THIS.
AND IT'S ALL JUST GLASS.
HAVE YOU HAD A TETANUS OR NOT? PROBABLY.
OKAY.
WE'RE GOOD.
ALL RIGHT.
LET'S MOVE ON.
THAT'S HOW WE DO IT.
JUST BANDAGE IT UP.
JUST MOVE ON.
KEEP ON TRUCKING.
[ LAUGHTER .]
G.
A.
C.
STYLE, MAN.
THAT'S HOW WE ROLL.
A LOT OF THESE DOORS IN THESE UNDERGROUND TUNNELS HAVE BEEN BOARDED UP, SO WHAT WE DID IS WE BROUGHT A POWER DRILL, 'CAUSE WE GO PLACES THAT ARE BOARDED UP.
AWESOME, AWESOME.
LIGHTS OFF.
ALL RIGHT.
LET'S WATCH WHERE WE'RE WALKING.
WATCH YOUR HEAD HERE.
WE JUST FOUND AN ENTRANCE TO THE MAYFLOWER BUILDING, WHICH IS SAID TO BE ONE OF THE MORE ACTIVE PARANORMAL LOCATIONS AT PENNHURST.
THIS ONE'S BIG.
THIS ONE'S A BIG ROOM.
ARE THERE ANY PATIENTS STILL IN HERE? AARON, DO YOU HAVE AN EMF DETECTOR ON YOU? YEAH.
HOLD ON.
I JUST WALKED INTO SOMETHING.
NOT ONLY DOES THIS DEVICE MEASURE ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELDS, WHICH GHOSTS ARE SAID TO GIVE OFF, BUT IT ALSO RECORDS THE TEMPERATURE, AND RECEIVING DRAMATIC, UNEXPLAINED SPIKES IN EITHER OF THESE ELEMENTS COULD BE A SIGN THAT WE ARE IN THE PRESENCE OF A SPIRIT.
GETTING A BASE READING OF 0.
0, ABOUT 72 DEGREES TEMPERATURE.
GO AHEAD, ZAK, KEEP ASKING.
CAN YOU SPEAK TO US? WE'RE GONNA PLAY WITH YOU.
WE'RE GONNA COMFORT YOU.
WHOA! 2.
7.
WHAT? YEAH, I JUST GOT A 2.
7 SPIKE.
IS THERE SOMEBODY HERE WITH US THAT WANTS TO TALK TO US? DO YOU LIKE US BEING HERE? AT THIS EXACT MOMENT, NICK'S DIGITAL RECORDER CAPTURED AN EVP THAT SOUNDS LIKE A MAN RESPONDING TO HIM.
HERE'S THE ENHANCED AUDIO.
DO YOU LIKE US BEING HERE? BECAUSE WE'RE IN A PLACE WHERE WE KNOW THAT A LOT OF PATIENTS WERE SOMEWHAT TORTURED, THEY WEREN'T TREATED WELL AT ALL, THIS WAS LIKE HELL.
WE'RE COMING IN WITH AN ATTITUDE OF TRYING TO HELP THEM.
UNFORTUNATELY, THERE WERE SOME OF THE PATIENTS THAT WERE VERY AGGRESSIVE.
SO, AS WE'RE COMING IN WITH A NICE DEMEANOR, ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN, ESPECIALLY WHEN WE'RE IN THE SPIRIT WORLD.
IS THERE ANY OTHER THING THAT YOU WANT TO SAY IN THIS DIGITAL RECORDER HERE, THIS RECORDING DEVICE? TALK INTO THIS RED LIGHT HERE.
WHAT WAS THAT? YEAH, WHAT WAS THAT? SOUNDED LIKE IT WAS RIGHT HERE.
THAT TIME, WE ALL HEARD A VERY CHILLING LITTLE GIRL'S VOICE WITH OUR OWN EARS.
WE ALSO CAPTURED THIS ON OUR DIGITAL RECORDER AND ANOTHER UNEXPLAINED MAN'S VOICE RIGHT AFTER YOU HEAR THE LITTLE GIRL.
TALK INTO THIS RED LIGHT HERE.
WHAT WAS THAT? YEAH, WHAT WAS THAT? WAS THAT YOU, LITTLE GIRL? DID YOU MAKE A NOISE? WHOA, MAN.
I JUST FELT THIS COLD BREEZE GO RIGHT THROUGH MY BODY.
HOLY COW.
82 DEGREES? 80.
79.
78.
77.
GUYS, I THINK SHE'S HERE.
I JUST FELT IT HIT ME, AND I JUST HAD THE THERMOMETER TAKE A 10-DEGREE TEMPERATURE DROP IN A MATTER OF SECONDS.
THAT'S AWESOME.
THERE'S NO EXPLANATION FOR THAT.
DO YOU SEE THE LITTLE DOLL HERE? THAT'S FOR YOU, OKAY? WHAT I WANT YOU TO DO IS TAKE THE DOLL.
WE FELT YOUR PRESENCE.
WILL YOU COME AND GRAB THE DOLL? DO YOU SEE THE GREEN LIGHT? I WANT YOU TO CROSS INTO THAT BEAM.
Nick: WHAT THE [BLEEP.]
THIS IS WHERE ONE OF OUR X's ARE FOR THE UNDERGROUND -- [ BANGING .]
WE WERE IN THE MAYFLOWER, WHERE WE JUST HEARD THE VOICE OF A LITTLE GIRL.
SENSING HER PRESENCE LEAVE THE ROOM, WE HEADED UPSTAIRS, WHERE BRIANA, WHO WE INTERVIEWED EARLIER, HAD HEARD THE LAUGH OF A CHILD.
WE WERE IN HERE EARLIER.
THEY SECURED THIS ENTIRE BUILDING AND LOCKED IT.
WE PLACED A LITTLE Shh.
Shh.
DID YOU RUN UP HERE, LITTLE GIRL? [ CLATTERING .]
Aaron: WHAT THE [BLEEP.]
WITH ALL THIS ACTIVITY ON THE THIRD FLOOR, WE DECIDED TO SET UP A STATIC NIGHT-VISION CAMERA TO TRY AND CAPTURE A VISUAL OF WHATEVER SPIRI WE HAD BEEN HEARING.
OH! OH! WE'RE IN MAYFLOWER BUILDING.
JUST THEN, I HEARD A DISEMBODIED VOICE COME FROM THE HALLWAY.
HERE'S THE ENHANCED AUDIO FROM NICK'S CAMERA.
WE'RE IN MAYFLOWER BUILDING.
ACTIVITY HERE IS FREAKING NUTS.
WE SHOULD SET UP OUR STATIC NIGHT-VISION CAMERA ON OUR "X.
" I KNOW WE'RE GONNA CAPTURE SOMETHING ON THIS DAMN CAMERA.
YOU STAND STILL FOR TWO SECONDS, YOU CAN HEAR STUFF, SEE STUFF, FEEL STUFF.
LET'S GET OUT OF HERE.
20 MINUTES AFTER WE LEFT THE AREA, OUR STATIC NIGHT-VISION CAMERA CAPTURED WHAT SOUNDS LIKE A MAN BREATHING, FOLLOWED BY UNEXPLAINED NOISES AND A DOOR CLOSING.
RIGHT NOW, WE'RE EXPERIMENTING WITH THIS HIGH-POWERED LASER.
A SCIENTIST THAT WE WORK WITH HAS ACTUALLY BUILT A MACHINE WITH LASERS LIKE THIS AND THINKS THAT YOU CAN ACTUALLY SEE SPIRITS CROSS INTO THE BEAM.
DO YOU SEE THE GREEN LIGHT? I WANT YOU TO CROSS INTO THAT BEAM.
SEEING NO UNEXPLAINED ACTIVITY IN OUR LASER-BEAM EXPERIMENT, WE DECIDED TO HEAD FURTHER INTO THE TUNNELS TO FIND OUR X's AND SET UP OUR TWO STATIC NIGHT-VISION CAMERAS.
RIGHT NOW, WE'VE BEEN WALKING FOR A LONG TIME, AND THIS IS WHERE ONE OF OUR X's ARE FOR THE UNDERGROUND -- Shh, shh! IS THERE SOMEBODY DOWN THERE? [ SOFT BANG .]
Aaron: DUDE.
Nick: WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT? DUDE.
WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT? QUIET, QUIET.
WHO'S THERE? Nick: WE'RE HEARING SOME CRAZY STUFF.
FEELS LIKE SOMEBODY'S FOLLOWING US RIGHT NOW.
IS THERE SOMEONE RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME? DO YOU WANT TO SAY SOMETHING TO ME? I CAN FEEL IT RIGHT NOW.
Zak: [ GASPS .]
Shh, Shh! AT THIS EXACT MOMENT, NICK'S DIGITAL RECORDER CAPTURED TWO CREEPY EVPs.
THE FIRST ONE SOUNDS LIKE A WOMAN.
THEN YOU CAN HEAR A MAN'S VOICE.
HERE'S THE ENHANCED AUDIO.
WHO'S HERE WITH US? DON'T BE AFRAID OF US.
WE'RE NOT HERE TO SCARE YOU.
WE KNOW YOU DON'T LIKE IT HERE, AND WE'RE HERE JUST TO HELP YOU.
WE DECIDED TO SET UP OUR TWO STATIC NIGHT-VISION CAMERAS IN THE TUNNELS IN CASE THERE WAS MORE ACTIVITY WHILE WE WERE GONE.
AND 15 MINUTES AND 36 SECONDS AFTER WE LEFT THE AREA, OUR FIRST CAMERA CAPTURED THIS EERIE AND UNEXPLAINED FEMALE SCREAM.
Zak: DID YOU PUSH THIS DESK OVER? Zak: I'M GONNA TELL YOU SOMETHING RIGHT NOW.
THIS IS HOT.
THIS IS WHAT WE LOOK FOR, GUYS.
WHOA! Aaron: WHAT?! [BLEEP.]
WE WERE NOW HEADING INTO THE ROCKWELL BUILDING TO INVESTIGATE THOSE DISEMBODIED VOICES WE HAD HEARD FROM THE TUNNELS.
Zak: HERE'S THE DESK RIGHT HERE Nick: IS THAT IT? THAT WE HEARD EARLIER.
DID YOU PUSH THIS DESK OVER? THAT'S A LOT OF ENERGY.
DO YOU SEE ANYTHING AT THE END OF THE HALL? DO YOU SEE SOMETHING? NO.
WHAT DO YOU WAN TO TELL US? WE'RE NOT HERE TO HURT YOU.
WE KNOW IT WAS LIKE HELL IN HERE.
WE KNOW THE PAIN AND THE SUFFERING THAT YOU WENT THROUGH.
I JUST NEED TO KNOW IF YOU'RE HERE OR NOT.
AT THIS EXACT MOMENT, NICK'S DIGITAL RECORDER CAPTURED AN EVP THAT SOUNDS LIKE A PATIENT'S SPIRIT RESPONDING TO ME.
HERE'S THE ENHANCED AUDIO.
I JUST NEED TO KNOW IF YOU'RE HERE OR NOT.
SERIOUSLY.
THIS PLACE IS ACTIVE.
Zak: YEAH, IT IS -- THIS HALLWAY.
[ BANG .]
WHOA! WHAT?! [BLEEP.]
DID YOU JUS THROW A ROCK AT ME? YEAH, SOMETHING WAS THROWN RIGHT HERE.
IT ACTUALLY HIT.
IT HIT RIGHT BEHIND ME.
I COULD FEEL IT.
I FELT IT BREAK.
I FELT THE ROCK.
I FELT IT HIT THE WALL, AND I FELT THE SHRAPNEL OF I WHEN IT EXPLODED.
IT HIT MY ARM.
ARE YOU TRYING TO HARM US? NOT ONLY DID I JUST FEEL SHRAPNEL FROM A ROCK THAT EXPLODED AFTER BEING THROWN AGAINST THE WALL, BUT OUR DIGITAL RECORDER ALSO CAPTURED AN UNEXPLAINED HISSING THAT SOUNDS LIKE THE SPIRIT OF A PATIENT WHO IS ANGRY WITH US.
HERE'S THE MOMENT AGAIN WITH THE AUDIO ENHANCED.
WHOA! Aaron: STOP, STOP.
FILM, FILM.
DID YOU JUST THROW A ROCK AT ME? YEAH, SOMETHING WAS THROWN RIGHT HERE.
IT ACTUALLY HIT.
IT HIT RIGHT BEHIND ME.
I COULD FEEL IT.
I FELT IT BREAK.
I FELT THE ROCK.
I FELT THE ROCK.
I FELT THE ROCK.
I FELT IT HIT THE WALL, AND I FELT THE SHRAPNEL OF I WHEN IT EXPLODED.
[ EXHALES DEEPLY .]
IT HIT MY ARM.
I'M SMILING RIGHT NOW BECAUSE THAT WAS AWESOME.
AND FOR ZAK TO REACT LIKE THAT WHOO! YES! THAT WAS SOMETHING REALLY, REALLY AWESOME.
IT WAS PARANORMAL.
I WANT TO KNOW WHO THREW THAT AT ME, 'CAUSE I DON'T THINK THAT WAS VERY NICE.
BUT I DID ASK YOU TO GIVE US A SIGN, AND I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU.
BUT WERE YOU TR-- WHOA, GUYS.
SHE JUST GRABBED MY POCKET, NICK.
IT WAS A GIRL.
ARE YOU FRIENDLY? IT WAS A GIRL, AND I SAW A WHITE MIST HERE.
RIGHT AFTER I SAW THE WHITE MIS HERE IS WHEN IT TOUCHED ME.
IMMEDIATELY AFTER I SAW THIS WHITE ANOMALY IN THE LOWER-RIGHT CORNER OF THE FRAME, I FELT SOMETHING GRAB MY PANTS POCKET.
WERE THESE TWO THINGS CONNECTED? WE TRIED TO DEBUNK THE WHITE ANOMALY AS DUST, BUT DUST WILL GENERALLY ENTER AND LEAVE FRAME AS SEEN HERE.
THIS VERY LARGE ORB OF LIGH APPEARS TO MANIFEST ITSELF THROUGH THE CENTER OF OUR FRAME.
AND HAVING THIS APPEAR RIGH NEAR THE EXACT PART OF MY BODY WHERE I FELT MYSELF BEING TOUCHED VALIDATES THAT THIS COULD HAVE BEEN PARANORMAL.
IS THIS BETTER IF I GET DOWN TO THIS LEVEL? ARE YOU SCARED 'CAUSE I'M REALLY TALL? ALL RIGHT.
I'M GONNA TELL YOU SOMETHING RIGHT NOW.
THIS IS HOT.
THIS IS WHAT WE LOOK FOR, GUYS.
THEY ARE HERE WITH US RIGHT NOW.
WITH ALL OF THIS ACTIVITY, WE DECIDED NOW WAS A GOOD TIME TO SET UP ONE OF OUR STATIC NIGHT-VISION CAMERAS HERE ON THE THIRD LEVEL OF THE ROCKWELL BUILDING.
WHILE WE DIDN'T CAPTURE THE DESK MOVING, 35 MINUTES AND 15 SECONDS AFTER WE LEFT ROCKWELL, OUR STATIC NIGHT-VISION CAMERA CAPTURED WHAT SOUNDS LIKE SOMEONE TRYING TO OPEN A DOOR, AND THERE WAS ABSOLUTELY NO ONE NEAR THAT BUILDING.
Zak: ALL RIGHT.
RIGHT NOW, WE'RE GONNA BE USING THE VIDEO GOGGLES.
THIS IS PROBABLY ONE OF OUR FAVORITE PIECES OF EQUIPMEN BECAUSE IT'S SO ACCURATE.
WE'VE HAD A LOT OF LUCK WITH THIS THING.
INSIDE THIS GUN-LOOKING THING IS A WORD DATABASE THAT SPIRITS CAN USE DIFFEREN LEVELS OF THEIR SPIRITUAL ENERGY TO MANIPULATE THIS AND CHOOSE WORDS TO COMMUNICATE WITH US, AND WE THINK THAT THEY CAN FIGURE IT OUT VERY EASILY.
SO, AS WE STAR WALKING THROUGH HERE, AARON WILL ALSO BE MY SECOND SET OF EYES.
THERE'S ALSO A LITTLE INFRARED CAMERA INSIDE HERE SO I CAN SEE, AND I CAN ALSO SEE THE WORDS ON THE SCREEN.
SO, WE'RE GONNA SEE IF THERE'S SOME SPIRITS STILL IN THERE AND WHAT THEY GOT TO SAY TO US.
[ EXHALES .]
Computerized voice: HIT.
"HIT.
" IT JUST SAID, "HIT.
" WHOA! Nick: JESUS! [ EXHALES DEEPLY .]
Aaron: OH, YOU ARE BLEEDING RIGHT THERE.
AGAIN, THIS WAS THE WORST HALL IS WHAT THEY SAID.
THEY SAID THE WORST ENERGY.
AND THEY PUT WHAT THEY WOULD CALL THE BAD PATIENTS -- THE MOST AGGRESSIVE, THE MOS ABUSIVE TOWARDS OTHER PATIENTS, THEY WOULD PUT IN THIS HALL.
DID THEY CHAIN YOU TO PIECES OF FURNITURE IN HERE? SPEAK TO US.
TELL US SOMETHING.
WHAT DID THEY USED TO DO TO YOU? Computerized voice: HIT.
"HIT.
" IT JUST SAID, "HIT.
" Nick: RIGHT NOW? YEAH, DO YOU SEE THAT, AARON? Aaron: YEAH.
"HIT.
" WHEW! SAYS "HIT.
" IS THAT WHAT THEY DID IN HERE? THEY WOULD TORTURE YOU? THEY HIT YOU? WHO SPOKE TO US? WHAT IS YOUR NAME? WHAT DO YOU LIKE TO DO, HUH? ALL RIGHT, NICK, COME ON.
MOVE.
THEY USED TO DO THINGS TO YOU IN HERE? WHOA! JESUS! [BLEEP.]
ARE YOU ALL RIGHT? DID IT GET YOU BAD? [BLEEP.]
WHAT HAPPENED? DID IT PIERCE YOU? I DON'T THINK SO.
I CAN'T SEE.
WOW.
Aaron: LOOKED LIKE IT JABBED YOU.
IT LOOKED LIKE IT JABBED -- OH, YOU ARE BLEEDING RIGHT THERE.
THAT THING CAME OUT OF [BLEEP.]
NOWHERE.
THAT DID.
IT WHIZZED RIGHT BY MY HEAD, TOO.
WERE YOU TELLING ME THAT THAT'S WHAT YOU WERE GONNA DO TO ME -- THAT YOU WANTED TO HIT ME? THAT IS WEIRD, MAN.
IT SAYS "HIT.
" IT SAID "HIT.
" I DIDN'T EVEN PUT TWO AND TWO TOGETHER UNTIL NOW.
I DIDN'T EVEN SEE THIS THING.
I DIDN'T SEE IT AT ALL.
HOW THE HELL IS IT JUST THERE ALL OF A SUDDEN? DO YOU HAVE A CAMERA? Aaron: YEAH.
ROLL ON YOUR CAMERA.
LET NICK REWIND THE FOOTAGE.
I WANT TO SEE WHERE THIS WAS.
Zak: DO YOU NOT LIKE BEING IN HERE? WHEN DO WE GO IN THE ROOM -- RIGHT NOW, COMING UP? LET ME SEE, DUDE.
THAT'S IT RIGHT THERE.
THAT'S IT RIGHT THERE.
LOOK AT IT.
DUDE, IT'S ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE WALL.
THAT'S CRAZY.
IT'S ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE WALL.
THIS THING -- THIS.
WE JUST REVIEWED THE FOOTAGE.
THIS WAS RIGHT HERE, AGAINST THE OTHER, OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE WALL.
WE WALKED INTO HERE.
THERE WAS NOTHING ON THIS WALL.
YOU WERE BACKING OUT.
NICK WAS BACKING OUT.
THIS THING HAD TO HAVE BEEN LIFTED UP, WHICH IS VERY HEAVY, CARRIED OVER HERE.
ALMOST HIT ME IN THE HEAD.
ALMOST HIT YOU IN THE HEAD.
AND THEN -- BOOM.
AND WE REPLAYED THE FOOTAGE, AND IT WAS RIGHT HERE.
IT WAS RIGHT FREAKING HERE! THAT'S CRAZY.
Aaron: DUDE.
WHO DID THAT?! RIGHT AFTER I ASKED THAT QUESTION, THIS CAMERA'S AUDIO PICKED UP THIS RESPONSE.
WHO DID THAT?! SO, YOU'RE NOT GONNA BE NICE TO US? THIS WAS A PLACE OF INCREDIBLE SUFFERING, WHERE ATROCITIES WERE COMMITTED AGAINST THE HELPLESS.
OF ALL THE LOCATIONS WE'VE EVER INVESTIGATED, THIS ONE CARRIES THE MOST WEIGHT.
PENNHURST.
WE WENT THERE, AND WE OPENED OUR ARMS TO THESE PATIENTS THAT WE HAD A LOT OF GRIEF FOR.
THIS PLACE GOT SHUT DOWN BECAUSE OF THE DARKNESS, AND I THINK THAT WE WERE JUST VICTIM TO THE DARKNESS THAT STILL RESIDES THERE.
HOW POSSIBLY DID THIS COATRACK COME FLYING IN LIKE A [BLEEP.]
HARPOON AT MY HEART? THAT'S A LOT OF ENERGY TO PICK SOMETHING LIKE THAT UP, TAKE IT AROUND THE CORNER, AND THROW IT.
WHOA! Nick: JESUS.
[BLEEP.]
AND ON THE VIDEO GOGGLES THA WE'VE HAD SO MUCH LUCK WITH, WHAT DID IT SAY? IT SAID "HIT.
" Computerized voice: HIT.
"HIT.
" IT JUST SAID, "HIT.
" WE WERE ABSOLUTELY STUNNED AT WHAT JUST HAPPENED.
EVEN IF IT DID FALL, IT WOULD HAVE FALLEN STRAIGHT DOWN THE HALLWAY.
YOU DIDN'T EVEN HEAR IT MOVE.
THERE WAS NO DRAGGING SOUND ON THE FLOOR.
WHEN YOU CAN'T LOGICALLY TRY TO DEBUNK SOMETHING LIKE THIS, THERE'S NO EXPLANATION FOR IT.
IT'S UNEXPLAINABLE.
IT'S PARANORMAL.
I ASKED, "WHO DID THIS? WHY DID YOU DO IT?" WE GOT A VOICE THAT ANSWERED ME.
IT IS EXCITING TO KNOW THAT THERE'S SOME OTHER WORLD, SOME OTHER SPIRITUAL LIFE.
IT'S POWERFUL STUFF.
