The Dead Files (2011) s03e03 Episode Script
Revisited; Deadly Attraction and Fear at the Family Tree
- Tonight.
.
- Stop it.
On "Dead Files Revisited".
.
A second look at some of Amy and Steve's most terrifying cases.
.
Ooh, look.
- New information.
.
- It was horrifying to hear.
Startling revelations.
I was afraid of what she was gonna find.
- First.
.
- Stop it.
A return to Wichita, Kansas, where a woman's violent encounters.
.
The veins all started popping out.
Left her family fearing for their lives.
It's weird.
And Amy sensed the house wasn't the problem.
If this thing gets in, you'll lose your mind.
Then.
.
We travel back to Santaquin, Utah.
.
Apparitions here follow us home.
Where a family Restaurant held an awful secret.
.
They're all dead together.
And horror lurked in the shadows.
- I couldn't hardly even look at it.
- Oh, my God.
It's like a little pit of hell.
Did they follow Amy's advice? If Amy told you you better not stay here, you gotta get out, what would you do? There's something down there.
My name is Amy Allan.
A lot of dead people are here.
I see dead people.
This is not good.
I speak to dead people.
.
He is very pissed off.
And they speak to me.
.
The house is angry.
But there's only way to know if my findings are real.
He's killed people.
I rely on my partner.
I'm Steve Dischiavi.
I'm a retired New York City homicide Detective.
.
He got shot at his house? And I know every person, every house has secrets.
That sounds like something out of "The Exorcist".
But Steve and I never speak.
.
We never communicate during an investigation.
Until the very end.
It's bad.
When we uncover if it's safe for you to stay.
.
I'd like some answers.
Or time to get out.
Our investigation in Wichita was one I'll never forget.
Our client Kristen sent me a video that was really intense.
Look.
Ewe! I've never seen this before.
I can't stop it.
It's gone crazy.
That video? Bizarre stuff.
But I was about to find out that was probably the most normal part of the whole investigation.
Kristen, you called me and Amy in.
What's going on, and how can we help? I'm really scared.
I feel things.
And I feel it's connected to me for some reason.
There's something here that messes with my emotions.
I called for Steve and Amy's help because this is a very sensitive subject.
Unless you've experienced it yourself, it's very hard to understand.
I.
.
I hear things.
I'll hear bumps against the wall, and there's nobody here.
People see ghosts all the time.
But when Kristen said she was physically grabbed, I got concerned.
I was sitting here in the dining room.
I had my back to the wall.
And all of a sudden, it felt like something grabbed my arm and jerked it backwards.
Okay, the window's there.
Did somebody.
.
Could've put their hand through the window from the outside? A shut window with the glass and a screen? No.
Have you thought about just selling the house and leaving? That wouldn't work.
Why do you say that? Because it would go with me wherever I go.
That moment right there was when I knew there was a lot more to the story than what Kristen was telling me.
Before I even opened the front door, I could already sense that something was attracting the dead.
And all of a sudden, I knew why.
There is a major sensitive who lives here.
Like, really, really strong abilities.
I run across this a lot.
People with abilities can bring in outside elements.
Some can be very dangerous.
I see, like, random dead people walking up the stairs outside, walking in and walking through the kitchen.
.
Walking up to here.
.
With so many dead walking through this house, what I didn't realize then was just how dangerous a couple of those entities really were.
Kristen, you sent me a pretty intense video.
Oh, here it goes.
Here it goes.
It's getting me.
What was going on? My hands and my feet, the veins all started popping out.
It's going down my thumb.
This is new.
- Were you in pain? - Yes.
It's getting me.
I didn't know what was happening in this video.
.
But I was pretty sure she hadn't faked it.
About three minutes into my walk I got approached by an old man.
At first he seemed like a gentle old guy, like someone's grandpa.
I'm getting, like, a Herb.
Herbie? But then he started showing me his darker side.
This is his house.
He is asking if we could remove the people from the home.
He wants us to leave.
And then he attacked me in a way I've never experienced before.
Stop it.
He knows how to physically manipulate the human body.
It's like.
.
You know? Like.
.
And then.
.
But you feel it up your spinal cord like electricity, like.
.
I woke up the next day incredibly sore.
It's weird.
Jeez, what the (Bleep), man? This is weird.
As dangerous as Herb was.
He was harmless compared to what else was trying to get into that house.
One of the first things I do in any case is look for corroborating witnesses.
Kristen's boyfriend Jason was the one who shot the video.
It's getting me.
What is that? I.
.
I felt like something was trying to take over.
Look.
Ewe! There was a sense of helplessness there, because this was something that we didn't understand.
And so we felt that Steve could help answer questions for us by finding the facts.
I took Jason outside to get him to relax and open up.
That's when he told me what Kristen did.
What.
.
What's going on with the grand kids? Kris's granddaughter really talks about one dream over and over again and comes to tears.
What was the dream? The way she described it to us was, that her little brother was cornered.
And these monstrous little characters were hurting him.
Did she say what they looked like? Yeah.
She actually drew what she saw in her dreams.
A sketch? That's usually Amy's thing.
So there's this thing on the roof.
It's, uh, long.
.
Long, skinny, like, uh.
.
Some kind of bug-looking thing.
I vividly remember this thing having a wide mouth with jagged teeth.
It just, like, scuttles.
.
On the roof.
.
Like that.
All I knew was it was some kind of parasite that could make people do bad things.
There's someone in here that it wants to be attached to.
Coming up next, Steve's investigation takes a violent turn.
.
He shoots him.
Exposing a key piece of evidence.
And in our second investigation.
.
I was afraid of what she was gonna find.
A return to a paranormal deathtrap.
He doesn't care if he kills.
He doesn't care.
Who took Amy's advice, and who's paying the price? Oh, my God.
Amy and I investigated a home in Wichita, Kansas.
Our client Kristen felt something was attacking her and her family.
.
I feel it's connected to me for some reason.
And she had video to prove it.
Look.
Ewe.
I've never seen this before.
I can't stop it.
I had already checked out the property records and didn't find much.
Just a former owner who died of natural causes.
But I did learn that the house sits on the edge of the historic Delano district.
Back in the 1800s, it was a lawless area.
As an investigator, I thought that's worth looking into.
Well, Delano was pretty much what you would consider the red light district.
What I wanted to find out was were there any deaths in or around Kristen's house.
There was a.
.
A horrendous gun battle there in Delano.
Uh, there were two gentlemen.
.
One by the name of "Rowdy" Joe Lowe.
And his competitor "Red" Beard.
They had dance halls that were right beside each other.
The season hadn't been going very well for Red Beard.
The money wasn't as good.
I think he just was out-and-out jealous.
And Red Beard sees Joe in the other building.
.
And he pulls out his gun and he shoots him.
So in the middle of the gun battle, a couple of folks were shot, one of which was a prostitute.
.
Annie Franklin, shot in the midsection.
So she's an innocent bystander, and she takes one to the stomach.
Pretty much.
Pretty much.
There's a woman.
I saw her.
She's laying.
And all this is open, like.
.
You know, blood and tissue and.
.
Ow! I was feeling intense pain.
I could tell she was in her death state, replaying her murder over and over.
There's blood, and I see a black gun.
This girl, she died in the neighborhood.
.
And it was a big deal.
At this point, I was feeling pretty frustrated with my investigation.
All I'd come up with was a homeowner who died of natural causes and the murder of a prostitute.
I went back to the library to make sure I hadn't missed anything.
Turns out there was a lot more.
A massive fire broke out just down the street from Kristen's house.
What can you tell me about the victims? There was two elderly couples.
And then a young lady, 20 years old, that worked there.
She was taking care of the children.
She was gonna get married in the spring.
She had been working on her wedding dress.
And, uh, when the fire came, she got all the children in her care out of the building.
And then thinking that the fire would be extinguished, she pushed past the firefighter, went back in to get her wedding dress, and she perished.
Oh, jeez.
I suddenly felt like I couldn't breathe.
Something sucked all the oxygen out of the room.
A wave of heat washed over me.
What are you feeling right now? Fire.
The hallway was burned, and the lady was burned.
I encountered a lot of dead in Kristen's house.
But I had to sketch the man who attacked me.
He has a long.
.
Oval face.
It wasn't difficult to remember what he looked like.
In fact, it was hard to get him out of my mind.
Is this the man that you remember seeing? Yes.
That's him.
Next.
.
What or who is summoning the dead to this home? Who is he and what the hell is he doing here? And for the first time.
.
The final outcome of the Wichita investigation.
I banish from this room evil in my life.
I've gotta tell ya, I've done a lot of reveals, but this one was one of the most intense I've ever sat through.
Kristen, Jason, this is my partner Amy.
This was the first time that I met Amy.
And I was feeling like I was about to explode.
Not knowing how it might affect my life was devastating.
Amy, maybe you could tell us about your walk a little.
I encountered a dead girl.
Up until that moment, I didn't think my research was very useful.
None of the deaths I found were directly tied to Kristen's house.
But then Amy started making sense out of all of it.
There was a fire.
I saw the hallway burned.
And there was a woman who was burned.
A couple blocks from here, there was a Masonic home, that was a home for retired Masons and orphans.
Late December, back in 1916, about I get a lot of satisfaction when I see the expressions on the clients' faces when Amy gets it.
She hit on the fire, the one that burned the Masonic home nearby.
And then I encountered Herb.
Who got very physical with me.
What do you mean he got physical with you? What.
.
W.
.
How? He's learned how to manipulate the human body.
I felt really angry.
.
That he was doing that to her.
But it was also validating to finally hear it from someone who experiences the same things.
Kristen, tell her what happened.
I was feeding my grandson in the high chair, and all of a sudden, my arm was grabbed and jerked backwards.
Amy, is the guy Herb, who you say is causing Kristen all these problems here, is that the guy you sketched? I've got to admit, I was looking forward to identifying the dead man who attacked me.
Especially now that I knew he was attacking other people in the house.
He doesn't look so nice to me.
When I saw that sketch, it was very emotional.
I wanted to do whatever it took to get rid of him.
He was attracted to this house.
.
Because there is someone, residing in this house who is.
.
Very open.
From the moment we sat down for the reveal, I had a pretty good idea Kristen was a sensitive.
Now I was sure she was the one attracting the dead to her house.
I mean, you're open.
You're a sensitive.
When Amy said I was a sensitive, it was very frightening.
I was unknowingly playing with fire, and didn't even realize what I was doing.
As sensitives, the dead will form relationships with us.
Because we're still alive.
.
And we can hear and see and feel them.
And they don't want to leave.
Mm-hmm.
I had just told Kristen some really shocking news, and I was about to tell her something a lot worse.
That creature on the roof was still trying to get in the house.
To me, it looked like a huge bug.
And this thing attached itself to you.
Let me ask you about this thing on the roof.
If they decide to do nothing, what can go wrong here? If this thing gets in, you'll probably lose your mind.
Amy's made it very clear how dangerous it is.
The big question is, can you do something to make you and your family safe? You have a lot of dead people that are just roaming around.
You need to tell them to leave and then seal your property.
And then when you're good.
.
You can open up for business, so to speak.
In the meantime, are the kids safe? As soon as you lock down the house, yeah.
Hopefully, now Amy at least gave you some answers.
Uh, what you do with it is up to you.
But my suggestion is listen to what she says.
Amy told us that we needed to seal the house by doing a house cleansing.
That involved Sage and salt.
We started at one end of the house and ended up at the other, sealed it completely inside and out.
Okay, evil in this room, time to go.
I decided to involve everyone in the family.
Including the grandchildren.
I wanted them to get a sense of empowerment and safety when they're here.
I really want to protect the kids.
And that's why we're taking these further steps.
We're gonna do what it takes to win this.
Since the investigation, I no longer feel vulnerable.
Mommy, I want to tell you something.
But until I'm completely in control of the house, my grand kids have moved out with my daughter.
So they can go be healthy and happy and not have to deal with anything here.
I want them to be kids again.
I'm happy to hear Kristen is following my advice.
The temptation to connect with the dead will always be there.
As long as she stays closed, her family will be safe.
I banish from this room, in the name of the Holy Spirit, all negative forces that have caused evil in my life.
I've been an investigator for over 20 years.
But our case in Santaquin, Utah, had some of the most bizarre twists and turns I'd ever seen.
I had been contacted by a woman named Leslie, who owned a little diner called Leslie's Family Tree Restaurant.
The place had been passed down to her from her Mother.
But Leslie told me lately some really weird things were happening.
More than usual.
Leslie, you sounded very worried when we spoke.
I have been.
Lately, we've been doing quite a bit of remodeling and different things up here, and the activity has just gotten more and more.
I called Steve and Amy because we've had this problem for 30 years with different things happening up here.
I needed validation, to let me know that.
.
Everything that I have seen is happening here.
We have a lot of really weird electrical problems going on.
We have appliances that will turn on and off.
We have clocks that run backwards.
And sometimes the power in the whole building will go out for no reason.
According to Leslie, this stuff had been going on for years, but she never did anything about it.
That was odd to me.
What's so urgent now that you need our help? Well, I possibly could be getting ready to retire, and I'm worried about my daughter working here, and even maybe her children, in the long run.
I'm very concerned about their safety.
From the moment I walked in, there was something about this place that felt so wrong.
Walking into that Restaurant, I felt a flood of raw energy just hit me.
Then I met a really angry dead man.
Who just hated that Restaurant.
I'm seeing this guy.
This person is really.
.
Unhappy about this structure.
He's pretty good with things that are.
.
Electrical.
Entities who can interfere with electricity are always dangerous, because they can start fires and make it look like an accident.
He's saying, like.
.
"How many times does something" "have to happen before people frickin', like, get it?" He's, uh, got issues.
Next, terror lurks in the basement.
They're all dead together.
And what happened after Steve and Amy left? I was afraid of what she was gonna find.
You want this thing to stop? You gotta listen to Amy.
On "Dead Files Revisited".
.
That was kinda creepy.
Leslie walked me into a room in the back of the Restaurant, and it felt like going back in time.
It looked like no one had stepped foot in this place for over 100 years.
Back in here was the dance floor.
About six years ago, we started renovating this, and it's gotten very, very active.
We hear kids back here playing, laughing all the time.
In fact, I've even seen a young man back here.
- Really? - Yep.
Only lasted for a couple of seconds, but I did see the profile.
There's some kids even.
Communicating with the dead is always a physically draining experience, but interacting with dead children is especially hard for me personally.
Because if I allow myself to get emotional, it can influence how I perceive what's going on.
Are you interacting with them, or just observing them? They're staring at me, and I'm staring at them.
I think they're getting orders.
These kids were so young that they never got a chance to speak for themselves.
And now in death, someone was making sure it stayed that way.
I don't know who this guy Henry.
.
- What? - To.
.
That they're not allowed to talk, like, they're not allowed to hang out.
Because he's pissed off.
He is very pissed off.
I knew it was important to interview someone outside Leslie's family.
But I never expected that I'd talk to someone who would actually ID a dead guy.
.
A guy who might be connected to all this craziness.
I saw an old man sitting at a.
.
That table right over there.
But I thought it was an honest to goodness person sitting there, so I went through the doors, and as soon as I could see again, he was gone.
One of our tasks is to dust the pictures.
I'm sure it's that picture right there.
.
I saw that guy.
I know it's him.
Little did I know, that guy would end up being more than just an old man sitting at a table.
He used to come here when he was alive, a lot.
There were so many angry entities in that Restaurant, but they all refused to speak with me.
I could tell I wasn't welcome.
I think he thinks, like, we're gonna kick him out.
Like, he's saying.
.
"This is mine, get out".
" Or I'm gonna screw your world and life up".
Like, he doesn't care if he hurts somebody, he doesn't care if he kills 'em, he doesn't care.
I gotta get away from this guy.
He is full of anger.
One of my abilities is something called psychometry.
So I can touch objects and read their energy and learn about their history.
I know this sounds strange, but the land's energy was calling out to me like it had a story to tell.
The ground is cursed.
This holy land.
So something's gonna happen to this place.
.
Which probably isn't good.
Land curses can cover huge areas, and can affect the living and the dead.
In this case, it was doing terrible things to both.
I think there's a lot of spirit souls that are trapped in there.
They've been contaminated.
You know, somebody did a ritual, and, like, cursed it.
A Native American did it.
I've encountered a lot of curses over the years, and this one was extremely powerful.
There was only one way I could think of to deal with it.
You know what, they just need to (Bleep) Knock it down, to be perfectly honest, okay? They just need to knock it down.
Coming up next.
.
They're all dead together.
The death toll rises.
.
You're not supposed to bury your children.
And Amy identifies the creature controlling the dead.
.
He can go in their bodies and make them do (Bleep).
But is he still there? What's wrong? Amy and I traveled to Santaquin, Utah, to investigate Leslie's Family Tree Restaurant.
The activity had gotten so bad, the family was ready to walk away from the business after nearly 30 years.
I'm worried about my daughter working here, and even maybe her children, in the long run.
My next step was to start digging into the Restaurant's history.
That's when I hit on something big.
Four little kids at four different times, all drowned in the flood control channels that run behind the Restaurant.
It's deceptive, the look of this ditch, as it's dried.
The local Police Chief told me that the brother of one of the drowning victims, lived in the house right across the street from the ditch, where his brother drowned over 60 years ago.
Lives in the house right across the street? Correct.
Holy (Bleep).
There are some kids even.
There's, like, four kids, and they did not know each other in life.
For some reason, these dead kids wouldn't talk to me, but there were still some bits of information I could use to piece together their story.
They died at different times? Yes.
I think that they died of all.
.
Of the same kind of stuff.
I see water.
Is there water under here? Your brother was one of the drowning victims over here.
- Do you know what happened? - I know what happened.
My Mother was in the house doing things, and Robert had gone outside, and my Mother got worried and wanted to run outside to find out where he was at, and he was gone.
And so she knew immediately that something was wrong.
Was he missing for a while, - and there was a search for him.
.
- No.
Or did.
.
Was it.
.
That must have been unimaginable for your Mom.
Oh.
.
She was completely devastated.
She felt responsible.
She felt it was her fault.
I.
.
I can't imagine it.
No, you're not supposed to bury your children.
That's the first time I've actually cried over him.
Hearing a woman crying.
Crying.
The woman I was seeing was a residual energy, so I couldn't ask her questions.
But I could observe her, like watching a movie replaying over and over.
This woman was very depressed, and whatever was happening to her was very traumatic.
What is she doing? It's a lot of anger.
.
And rage, you know, so, like, she's crying, but she's angry, to the point where she wanted to, like, kill or harm.
Fortunately, she wasn't trapped in this place.
She was only a residual imprint.
But there were a lot of conscious entities trapped in that Restaurant, and I wanted to figure out how to erase them.
I finally got a chance to meet with Leslie's daughter Bobby.
She told me a story that not only confirmed what Crissa the waitress told me, it made a strange case even stranger.
There's an old man that's been lurking around here, and he followed me home one night.
Explain that to me.
What happened? Well, I went home and was getting ready for bed.
.
And laid down, and every time I closed my eyes, I could feel his hands around my neck, pulling me off my bed.
And so I shook really hard and opened my eyes, and I seen him up by my closet, and just disappeared into the ceiling.
I know it was him.
Without a doubt, it was him.
By the end of my walk, I was completely drained.
At about 3:00 A.
M.
, I was ready to call it a night.
But then I saw something that scared me half to death.
(Bleep) What? That was kinda creepy.
Can you describe what you saw? It was this thing.
.
That had super long arms.
.
Weird hips.
That kind of like, came up.
How big is it? Pretty (Bleep) Big.
At the time, I was so shocked by the sight of that thing.
I didn't know what it was or why it was here.
I only knew that it was somehow connected to all the dead entities and why they weren't willing to talk to me.
This guy knows how to get inside of people.
He can, like, influence them.
What do you mean? He can go in their bodies and make them do (Bleep).
I knew this thing was a major threat to the living and the dead.
That's why I decided to sketch it for the reveal.
Normal here, but just kind of bigger here.
I guess I hoped giving this thing a face might help me understand it better, and it did.
You wouldn't want to meet this guy anywhere.
Next, Amy reveals her terrifying sketch.
- This is what you saw? - Oh, my God.
But did this tormented family follow her advice? You gotta listen to Amy.
At the start of every investigation, I warn our clients to be prepared for the worst.
But at the reveal, Leslie and Bobby definitely weren't ready for what Amy and I had to say.
Leslie, you actually called us in because.
.
You're concerned about turning the Restaurant over to your daughter.
Yes.
I was nervous about what they found.
And I was overwhelmed at the idea of having a paranormal medium sitting next to me.
Because I was just afraid of what she was gonna find.
Amy, if you could just tell us what you encountered.
Initially what I got was, there were children, and there were about four of them.
They all did die from the same thing.
Yeah, there's one that I actually almost ran into turning a corner.
Oh, wow.
It made me sad when Amy picked up on the kids.
They have no reason to be here.
They should be moving on.
I did uncover during the investigation that four kids drowned in an irrigation ditch right around the corner from here.
Oh, wow.
That's such a horrific tragedy.
I just can't even imagine.
Bobby had an interaction with an elderly man.
Yes.
There's a photo here of a man, that she says she's pretty sure is him, and that's this older guy here.
After work, late at night, went home, as soon as I got in bed and closed my eyes.
I could feel hands around my neck trying to pull me off the bed.
Oh, boy.
This is.
.
Not good.
Bobby's story really scared me.
Typically, curses create a walled-in environment, like being locked in a cell.
If this guy could freely come and go, there was something else happening in this Restaurant.
Amy, is that the guy you sketched? No.
Uh, what I sketched was a very strange thing.
Are you kidding me? When I pull out one of Amy's sketches, I expect to see a drawing of some dead guy.
This one almost made me fall out of my chair.
This is what you saw? I know, it's really strange.
Oh, my gosh, are you kidding me? - Are you serious? - Wow.
What he likes to do.
.
Is tag people.
And then he can.
.
Pull them back when they die.
I would do anything to get rid of him.
I don't want him following anybody else home.
Not my grandchildren, not my daughters, not anybody.
If you want this thing to stop.
You've gotta listen to Amy.
To be honest, part of me still thinks this Restaurant should be knocked down.
But I knew there was no way Leslie and Bobby were going to take that advice.
I would like to tell you to leave.
But I can't.
.
Because you've kind of inherited a situation.
And something needs to be done pretty quickly.
What I think happened here is that.
.
There was an upset Native American.
Who actually did a curse.
And the people who have been trapped need to be released.
This is going to be a really, really difficult process.
You want a blessing, you want a cleansing, you want this curse to be broken.
And bring in possibly different religious leaders, to help move on all the different people.
How.
.
How many are we talking? As many as possible.
I realize this was a lot to ask of Leslie and Bobby, but it's what needed to be done.
That was the only way they were going to save their Restaurant, and more importantly, release the innocent dead that were trapped there.
- What are you gonna do? - We'll move on to getting it blessed.
Sounds like a lot of steps, but we'll take 'em.
Well, you guys are pretty passionate about this Restaurant.
It sounds like you want the fight.
- Yeah.
- Oh, yeah, yeah.
You are.
You're fighting for your life here.
Thank you again, ladies.
Appreciate you.
Amy told us that we needed to get the curse lifted.
And have the place blessed.
But it's just really scary just to trust anybody with my Restaurant.
The activity has definitely increased.
I don't feel safe here any more.
At this point, leaving the Restaurant to my daughter Bobby is not an option.
I'm really worried about her safety here.
It's a shame that Leslie and Bobby didn't keep their promise to cleanse the property.
And I'm not surprised to find out the activity has increased.
Until they take action, I'm worried about what could happen to them, their employees, and their patrons.
.
- Stop it.
On "Dead Files Revisited".
.
A second look at some of Amy and Steve's most terrifying cases.
.
Ooh, look.
- New information.
.
- It was horrifying to hear.
Startling revelations.
I was afraid of what she was gonna find.
- First.
.
- Stop it.
A return to Wichita, Kansas, where a woman's violent encounters.
.
The veins all started popping out.
Left her family fearing for their lives.
It's weird.
And Amy sensed the house wasn't the problem.
If this thing gets in, you'll lose your mind.
Then.
.
We travel back to Santaquin, Utah.
.
Apparitions here follow us home.
Where a family Restaurant held an awful secret.
.
They're all dead together.
And horror lurked in the shadows.
- I couldn't hardly even look at it.
- Oh, my God.
It's like a little pit of hell.
Did they follow Amy's advice? If Amy told you you better not stay here, you gotta get out, what would you do? There's something down there.
My name is Amy Allan.
A lot of dead people are here.
I see dead people.
This is not good.
I speak to dead people.
.
He is very pissed off.
And they speak to me.
.
The house is angry.
But there's only way to know if my findings are real.
He's killed people.
I rely on my partner.
I'm Steve Dischiavi.
I'm a retired New York City homicide Detective.
.
He got shot at his house? And I know every person, every house has secrets.
That sounds like something out of "The Exorcist".
But Steve and I never speak.
.
We never communicate during an investigation.
Until the very end.
It's bad.
When we uncover if it's safe for you to stay.
.
I'd like some answers.
Or time to get out.
Our investigation in Wichita was one I'll never forget.
Our client Kristen sent me a video that was really intense.
Look.
Ewe! I've never seen this before.
I can't stop it.
It's gone crazy.
That video? Bizarre stuff.
But I was about to find out that was probably the most normal part of the whole investigation.
Kristen, you called me and Amy in.
What's going on, and how can we help? I'm really scared.
I feel things.
And I feel it's connected to me for some reason.
There's something here that messes with my emotions.
I called for Steve and Amy's help because this is a very sensitive subject.
Unless you've experienced it yourself, it's very hard to understand.
I.
.
I hear things.
I'll hear bumps against the wall, and there's nobody here.
People see ghosts all the time.
But when Kristen said she was physically grabbed, I got concerned.
I was sitting here in the dining room.
I had my back to the wall.
And all of a sudden, it felt like something grabbed my arm and jerked it backwards.
Okay, the window's there.
Did somebody.
.
Could've put their hand through the window from the outside? A shut window with the glass and a screen? No.
Have you thought about just selling the house and leaving? That wouldn't work.
Why do you say that? Because it would go with me wherever I go.
That moment right there was when I knew there was a lot more to the story than what Kristen was telling me.
Before I even opened the front door, I could already sense that something was attracting the dead.
And all of a sudden, I knew why.
There is a major sensitive who lives here.
Like, really, really strong abilities.
I run across this a lot.
People with abilities can bring in outside elements.
Some can be very dangerous.
I see, like, random dead people walking up the stairs outside, walking in and walking through the kitchen.
.
Walking up to here.
.
With so many dead walking through this house, what I didn't realize then was just how dangerous a couple of those entities really were.
Kristen, you sent me a pretty intense video.
Oh, here it goes.
Here it goes.
It's getting me.
What was going on? My hands and my feet, the veins all started popping out.
It's going down my thumb.
This is new.
- Were you in pain? - Yes.
It's getting me.
I didn't know what was happening in this video.
.
But I was pretty sure she hadn't faked it.
About three minutes into my walk I got approached by an old man.
At first he seemed like a gentle old guy, like someone's grandpa.
I'm getting, like, a Herb.
Herbie? But then he started showing me his darker side.
This is his house.
He is asking if we could remove the people from the home.
He wants us to leave.
And then he attacked me in a way I've never experienced before.
Stop it.
He knows how to physically manipulate the human body.
It's like.
.
You know? Like.
.
And then.
.
But you feel it up your spinal cord like electricity, like.
.
I woke up the next day incredibly sore.
It's weird.
Jeez, what the (Bleep), man? This is weird.
As dangerous as Herb was.
He was harmless compared to what else was trying to get into that house.
One of the first things I do in any case is look for corroborating witnesses.
Kristen's boyfriend Jason was the one who shot the video.
It's getting me.
What is that? I.
.
I felt like something was trying to take over.
Look.
Ewe! There was a sense of helplessness there, because this was something that we didn't understand.
And so we felt that Steve could help answer questions for us by finding the facts.
I took Jason outside to get him to relax and open up.
That's when he told me what Kristen did.
What.
.
What's going on with the grand kids? Kris's granddaughter really talks about one dream over and over again and comes to tears.
What was the dream? The way she described it to us was, that her little brother was cornered.
And these monstrous little characters were hurting him.
Did she say what they looked like? Yeah.
She actually drew what she saw in her dreams.
A sketch? That's usually Amy's thing.
So there's this thing on the roof.
It's, uh, long.
.
Long, skinny, like, uh.
.
Some kind of bug-looking thing.
I vividly remember this thing having a wide mouth with jagged teeth.
It just, like, scuttles.
.
On the roof.
.
Like that.
All I knew was it was some kind of parasite that could make people do bad things.
There's someone in here that it wants to be attached to.
Coming up next, Steve's investigation takes a violent turn.
.
He shoots him.
Exposing a key piece of evidence.
And in our second investigation.
.
I was afraid of what she was gonna find.
A return to a paranormal deathtrap.
He doesn't care if he kills.
He doesn't care.
Who took Amy's advice, and who's paying the price? Oh, my God.
Amy and I investigated a home in Wichita, Kansas.
Our client Kristen felt something was attacking her and her family.
.
I feel it's connected to me for some reason.
And she had video to prove it.
Look.
Ewe.
I've never seen this before.
I can't stop it.
I had already checked out the property records and didn't find much.
Just a former owner who died of natural causes.
But I did learn that the house sits on the edge of the historic Delano district.
Back in the 1800s, it was a lawless area.
As an investigator, I thought that's worth looking into.
Well, Delano was pretty much what you would consider the red light district.
What I wanted to find out was were there any deaths in or around Kristen's house.
There was a.
.
A horrendous gun battle there in Delano.
Uh, there were two gentlemen.
.
One by the name of "Rowdy" Joe Lowe.
And his competitor "Red" Beard.
They had dance halls that were right beside each other.
The season hadn't been going very well for Red Beard.
The money wasn't as good.
I think he just was out-and-out jealous.
And Red Beard sees Joe in the other building.
.
And he pulls out his gun and he shoots him.
So in the middle of the gun battle, a couple of folks were shot, one of which was a prostitute.
.
Annie Franklin, shot in the midsection.
So she's an innocent bystander, and she takes one to the stomach.
Pretty much.
Pretty much.
There's a woman.
I saw her.
She's laying.
And all this is open, like.
.
You know, blood and tissue and.
.
Ow! I was feeling intense pain.
I could tell she was in her death state, replaying her murder over and over.
There's blood, and I see a black gun.
This girl, she died in the neighborhood.
.
And it was a big deal.
At this point, I was feeling pretty frustrated with my investigation.
All I'd come up with was a homeowner who died of natural causes and the murder of a prostitute.
I went back to the library to make sure I hadn't missed anything.
Turns out there was a lot more.
A massive fire broke out just down the street from Kristen's house.
What can you tell me about the victims? There was two elderly couples.
And then a young lady, 20 years old, that worked there.
She was taking care of the children.
She was gonna get married in the spring.
She had been working on her wedding dress.
And, uh, when the fire came, she got all the children in her care out of the building.
And then thinking that the fire would be extinguished, she pushed past the firefighter, went back in to get her wedding dress, and she perished.
Oh, jeez.
I suddenly felt like I couldn't breathe.
Something sucked all the oxygen out of the room.
A wave of heat washed over me.
What are you feeling right now? Fire.
The hallway was burned, and the lady was burned.
I encountered a lot of dead in Kristen's house.
But I had to sketch the man who attacked me.
He has a long.
.
Oval face.
It wasn't difficult to remember what he looked like.
In fact, it was hard to get him out of my mind.
Is this the man that you remember seeing? Yes.
That's him.
Next.
.
What or who is summoning the dead to this home? Who is he and what the hell is he doing here? And for the first time.
.
The final outcome of the Wichita investigation.
I banish from this room evil in my life.
I've gotta tell ya, I've done a lot of reveals, but this one was one of the most intense I've ever sat through.
Kristen, Jason, this is my partner Amy.
This was the first time that I met Amy.
And I was feeling like I was about to explode.
Not knowing how it might affect my life was devastating.
Amy, maybe you could tell us about your walk a little.
I encountered a dead girl.
Up until that moment, I didn't think my research was very useful.
None of the deaths I found were directly tied to Kristen's house.
But then Amy started making sense out of all of it.
There was a fire.
I saw the hallway burned.
And there was a woman who was burned.
A couple blocks from here, there was a Masonic home, that was a home for retired Masons and orphans.
Late December, back in 1916, about I get a lot of satisfaction when I see the expressions on the clients' faces when Amy gets it.
She hit on the fire, the one that burned the Masonic home nearby.
And then I encountered Herb.
Who got very physical with me.
What do you mean he got physical with you? What.
.
W.
.
How? He's learned how to manipulate the human body.
I felt really angry.
.
That he was doing that to her.
But it was also validating to finally hear it from someone who experiences the same things.
Kristen, tell her what happened.
I was feeding my grandson in the high chair, and all of a sudden, my arm was grabbed and jerked backwards.
Amy, is the guy Herb, who you say is causing Kristen all these problems here, is that the guy you sketched? I've got to admit, I was looking forward to identifying the dead man who attacked me.
Especially now that I knew he was attacking other people in the house.
He doesn't look so nice to me.
When I saw that sketch, it was very emotional.
I wanted to do whatever it took to get rid of him.
He was attracted to this house.
.
Because there is someone, residing in this house who is.
.
Very open.
From the moment we sat down for the reveal, I had a pretty good idea Kristen was a sensitive.
Now I was sure she was the one attracting the dead to her house.
I mean, you're open.
You're a sensitive.
When Amy said I was a sensitive, it was very frightening.
I was unknowingly playing with fire, and didn't even realize what I was doing.
As sensitives, the dead will form relationships with us.
Because we're still alive.
.
And we can hear and see and feel them.
And they don't want to leave.
Mm-hmm.
I had just told Kristen some really shocking news, and I was about to tell her something a lot worse.
That creature on the roof was still trying to get in the house.
To me, it looked like a huge bug.
And this thing attached itself to you.
Let me ask you about this thing on the roof.
If they decide to do nothing, what can go wrong here? If this thing gets in, you'll probably lose your mind.
Amy's made it very clear how dangerous it is.
The big question is, can you do something to make you and your family safe? You have a lot of dead people that are just roaming around.
You need to tell them to leave and then seal your property.
And then when you're good.
.
You can open up for business, so to speak.
In the meantime, are the kids safe? As soon as you lock down the house, yeah.
Hopefully, now Amy at least gave you some answers.
Uh, what you do with it is up to you.
But my suggestion is listen to what she says.
Amy told us that we needed to seal the house by doing a house cleansing.
That involved Sage and salt.
We started at one end of the house and ended up at the other, sealed it completely inside and out.
Okay, evil in this room, time to go.
I decided to involve everyone in the family.
Including the grandchildren.
I wanted them to get a sense of empowerment and safety when they're here.
I really want to protect the kids.
And that's why we're taking these further steps.
We're gonna do what it takes to win this.
Since the investigation, I no longer feel vulnerable.
Mommy, I want to tell you something.
But until I'm completely in control of the house, my grand kids have moved out with my daughter.
So they can go be healthy and happy and not have to deal with anything here.
I want them to be kids again.
I'm happy to hear Kristen is following my advice.
The temptation to connect with the dead will always be there.
As long as she stays closed, her family will be safe.
I banish from this room, in the name of the Holy Spirit, all negative forces that have caused evil in my life.
I've been an investigator for over 20 years.
But our case in Santaquin, Utah, had some of the most bizarre twists and turns I'd ever seen.
I had been contacted by a woman named Leslie, who owned a little diner called Leslie's Family Tree Restaurant.
The place had been passed down to her from her Mother.
But Leslie told me lately some really weird things were happening.
More than usual.
Leslie, you sounded very worried when we spoke.
I have been.
Lately, we've been doing quite a bit of remodeling and different things up here, and the activity has just gotten more and more.
I called Steve and Amy because we've had this problem for 30 years with different things happening up here.
I needed validation, to let me know that.
.
Everything that I have seen is happening here.
We have a lot of really weird electrical problems going on.
We have appliances that will turn on and off.
We have clocks that run backwards.
And sometimes the power in the whole building will go out for no reason.
According to Leslie, this stuff had been going on for years, but she never did anything about it.
That was odd to me.
What's so urgent now that you need our help? Well, I possibly could be getting ready to retire, and I'm worried about my daughter working here, and even maybe her children, in the long run.
I'm very concerned about their safety.
From the moment I walked in, there was something about this place that felt so wrong.
Walking into that Restaurant, I felt a flood of raw energy just hit me.
Then I met a really angry dead man.
Who just hated that Restaurant.
I'm seeing this guy.
This person is really.
.
Unhappy about this structure.
He's pretty good with things that are.
.
Electrical.
Entities who can interfere with electricity are always dangerous, because they can start fires and make it look like an accident.
He's saying, like.
.
"How many times does something" "have to happen before people frickin', like, get it?" He's, uh, got issues.
Next, terror lurks in the basement.
They're all dead together.
And what happened after Steve and Amy left? I was afraid of what she was gonna find.
You want this thing to stop? You gotta listen to Amy.
On "Dead Files Revisited".
.
That was kinda creepy.
Leslie walked me into a room in the back of the Restaurant, and it felt like going back in time.
It looked like no one had stepped foot in this place for over 100 years.
Back in here was the dance floor.
About six years ago, we started renovating this, and it's gotten very, very active.
We hear kids back here playing, laughing all the time.
In fact, I've even seen a young man back here.
- Really? - Yep.
Only lasted for a couple of seconds, but I did see the profile.
There's some kids even.
Communicating with the dead is always a physically draining experience, but interacting with dead children is especially hard for me personally.
Because if I allow myself to get emotional, it can influence how I perceive what's going on.
Are you interacting with them, or just observing them? They're staring at me, and I'm staring at them.
I think they're getting orders.
These kids were so young that they never got a chance to speak for themselves.
And now in death, someone was making sure it stayed that way.
I don't know who this guy Henry.
.
- What? - To.
.
That they're not allowed to talk, like, they're not allowed to hang out.
Because he's pissed off.
He is very pissed off.
I knew it was important to interview someone outside Leslie's family.
But I never expected that I'd talk to someone who would actually ID a dead guy.
.
A guy who might be connected to all this craziness.
I saw an old man sitting at a.
.
That table right over there.
But I thought it was an honest to goodness person sitting there, so I went through the doors, and as soon as I could see again, he was gone.
One of our tasks is to dust the pictures.
I'm sure it's that picture right there.
.
I saw that guy.
I know it's him.
Little did I know, that guy would end up being more than just an old man sitting at a table.
He used to come here when he was alive, a lot.
There were so many angry entities in that Restaurant, but they all refused to speak with me.
I could tell I wasn't welcome.
I think he thinks, like, we're gonna kick him out.
Like, he's saying.
.
"This is mine, get out".
" Or I'm gonna screw your world and life up".
Like, he doesn't care if he hurts somebody, he doesn't care if he kills 'em, he doesn't care.
I gotta get away from this guy.
He is full of anger.
One of my abilities is something called psychometry.
So I can touch objects and read their energy and learn about their history.
I know this sounds strange, but the land's energy was calling out to me like it had a story to tell.
The ground is cursed.
This holy land.
So something's gonna happen to this place.
.
Which probably isn't good.
Land curses can cover huge areas, and can affect the living and the dead.
In this case, it was doing terrible things to both.
I think there's a lot of spirit souls that are trapped in there.
They've been contaminated.
You know, somebody did a ritual, and, like, cursed it.
A Native American did it.
I've encountered a lot of curses over the years, and this one was extremely powerful.
There was only one way I could think of to deal with it.
You know what, they just need to (Bleep) Knock it down, to be perfectly honest, okay? They just need to knock it down.
Coming up next.
.
They're all dead together.
The death toll rises.
.
You're not supposed to bury your children.
And Amy identifies the creature controlling the dead.
.
He can go in their bodies and make them do (Bleep).
But is he still there? What's wrong? Amy and I traveled to Santaquin, Utah, to investigate Leslie's Family Tree Restaurant.
The activity had gotten so bad, the family was ready to walk away from the business after nearly 30 years.
I'm worried about my daughter working here, and even maybe her children, in the long run.
My next step was to start digging into the Restaurant's history.
That's when I hit on something big.
Four little kids at four different times, all drowned in the flood control channels that run behind the Restaurant.
It's deceptive, the look of this ditch, as it's dried.
The local Police Chief told me that the brother of one of the drowning victims, lived in the house right across the street from the ditch, where his brother drowned over 60 years ago.
Lives in the house right across the street? Correct.
Holy (Bleep).
There are some kids even.
There's, like, four kids, and they did not know each other in life.
For some reason, these dead kids wouldn't talk to me, but there were still some bits of information I could use to piece together their story.
They died at different times? Yes.
I think that they died of all.
.
Of the same kind of stuff.
I see water.
Is there water under here? Your brother was one of the drowning victims over here.
- Do you know what happened? - I know what happened.
My Mother was in the house doing things, and Robert had gone outside, and my Mother got worried and wanted to run outside to find out where he was at, and he was gone.
And so she knew immediately that something was wrong.
Was he missing for a while, - and there was a search for him.
.
- No.
Or did.
.
Was it.
.
That must have been unimaginable for your Mom.
Oh.
.
She was completely devastated.
She felt responsible.
She felt it was her fault.
I.
.
I can't imagine it.
No, you're not supposed to bury your children.
That's the first time I've actually cried over him.
Hearing a woman crying.
Crying.
The woman I was seeing was a residual energy, so I couldn't ask her questions.
But I could observe her, like watching a movie replaying over and over.
This woman was very depressed, and whatever was happening to her was very traumatic.
What is she doing? It's a lot of anger.
.
And rage, you know, so, like, she's crying, but she's angry, to the point where she wanted to, like, kill or harm.
Fortunately, she wasn't trapped in this place.
She was only a residual imprint.
But there were a lot of conscious entities trapped in that Restaurant, and I wanted to figure out how to erase them.
I finally got a chance to meet with Leslie's daughter Bobby.
She told me a story that not only confirmed what Crissa the waitress told me, it made a strange case even stranger.
There's an old man that's been lurking around here, and he followed me home one night.
Explain that to me.
What happened? Well, I went home and was getting ready for bed.
.
And laid down, and every time I closed my eyes, I could feel his hands around my neck, pulling me off my bed.
And so I shook really hard and opened my eyes, and I seen him up by my closet, and just disappeared into the ceiling.
I know it was him.
Without a doubt, it was him.
By the end of my walk, I was completely drained.
At about 3:00 A.
M.
, I was ready to call it a night.
But then I saw something that scared me half to death.
(Bleep) What? That was kinda creepy.
Can you describe what you saw? It was this thing.
.
That had super long arms.
.
Weird hips.
That kind of like, came up.
How big is it? Pretty (Bleep) Big.
At the time, I was so shocked by the sight of that thing.
I didn't know what it was or why it was here.
I only knew that it was somehow connected to all the dead entities and why they weren't willing to talk to me.
This guy knows how to get inside of people.
He can, like, influence them.
What do you mean? He can go in their bodies and make them do (Bleep).
I knew this thing was a major threat to the living and the dead.
That's why I decided to sketch it for the reveal.
Normal here, but just kind of bigger here.
I guess I hoped giving this thing a face might help me understand it better, and it did.
You wouldn't want to meet this guy anywhere.
Next, Amy reveals her terrifying sketch.
- This is what you saw? - Oh, my God.
But did this tormented family follow her advice? You gotta listen to Amy.
At the start of every investigation, I warn our clients to be prepared for the worst.
But at the reveal, Leslie and Bobby definitely weren't ready for what Amy and I had to say.
Leslie, you actually called us in because.
.
You're concerned about turning the Restaurant over to your daughter.
Yes.
I was nervous about what they found.
And I was overwhelmed at the idea of having a paranormal medium sitting next to me.
Because I was just afraid of what she was gonna find.
Amy, if you could just tell us what you encountered.
Initially what I got was, there were children, and there were about four of them.
They all did die from the same thing.
Yeah, there's one that I actually almost ran into turning a corner.
Oh, wow.
It made me sad when Amy picked up on the kids.
They have no reason to be here.
They should be moving on.
I did uncover during the investigation that four kids drowned in an irrigation ditch right around the corner from here.
Oh, wow.
That's such a horrific tragedy.
I just can't even imagine.
Bobby had an interaction with an elderly man.
Yes.
There's a photo here of a man, that she says she's pretty sure is him, and that's this older guy here.
After work, late at night, went home, as soon as I got in bed and closed my eyes.
I could feel hands around my neck trying to pull me off the bed.
Oh, boy.
This is.
.
Not good.
Bobby's story really scared me.
Typically, curses create a walled-in environment, like being locked in a cell.
If this guy could freely come and go, there was something else happening in this Restaurant.
Amy, is that the guy you sketched? No.
Uh, what I sketched was a very strange thing.
Are you kidding me? When I pull out one of Amy's sketches, I expect to see a drawing of some dead guy.
This one almost made me fall out of my chair.
This is what you saw? I know, it's really strange.
Oh, my gosh, are you kidding me? - Are you serious? - Wow.
What he likes to do.
.
Is tag people.
And then he can.
.
Pull them back when they die.
I would do anything to get rid of him.
I don't want him following anybody else home.
Not my grandchildren, not my daughters, not anybody.
If you want this thing to stop.
You've gotta listen to Amy.
To be honest, part of me still thinks this Restaurant should be knocked down.
But I knew there was no way Leslie and Bobby were going to take that advice.
I would like to tell you to leave.
But I can't.
.
Because you've kind of inherited a situation.
And something needs to be done pretty quickly.
What I think happened here is that.
.
There was an upset Native American.
Who actually did a curse.
And the people who have been trapped need to be released.
This is going to be a really, really difficult process.
You want a blessing, you want a cleansing, you want this curse to be broken.
And bring in possibly different religious leaders, to help move on all the different people.
How.
.
How many are we talking? As many as possible.
I realize this was a lot to ask of Leslie and Bobby, but it's what needed to be done.
That was the only way they were going to save their Restaurant, and more importantly, release the innocent dead that were trapped there.
- What are you gonna do? - We'll move on to getting it blessed.
Sounds like a lot of steps, but we'll take 'em.
Well, you guys are pretty passionate about this Restaurant.
It sounds like you want the fight.
- Yeah.
- Oh, yeah, yeah.
You are.
You're fighting for your life here.
Thank you again, ladies.
Appreciate you.
Amy told us that we needed to get the curse lifted.
And have the place blessed.
But it's just really scary just to trust anybody with my Restaurant.
The activity has definitely increased.
I don't feel safe here any more.
At this point, leaving the Restaurant to my daughter Bobby is not an option.
I'm really worried about her safety here.
It's a shame that Leslie and Bobby didn't keep their promise to cleanse the property.
And I'm not surprised to find out the activity has increased.
Until they take action, I'm worried about what could happen to them, their employees, and their patrons.
