My Ghost Story (2010) s04e05 Episode Script
Anchored Spirits
1 White: ALISA'S HAIR GOT PULLED.
SOMETHING THAT WASN'T THERE.
Peterson: THE SPIRITS DID NOT WANT US IN THEIR AREA.
Strickland: THERE'S SOME FORCE THAT POPS THE DOOR OPEN.
Wilhoit: SHE WANTED US TO KNOW SHE WAS THERE.
McWethy: SEE A SHADOW START BEHIND THE DOOR AND JUST FALLS THROUGH THE FLOOR.
Hensley: I FELT SOMETHING ON MY BACK, AND IT'S REALLY STARTING TO BURN.
I KNEW WE HAD TO GET OU OF THE BUILDING.
Morrison: THIS PURPLE MIST, IT ACTUALLY CAST A SHADOW ON THE WALL.
THERE WAS NO WORDS TO DESCRIBE IT.
Justin: IN THE GRAVEYARD, YOU'LL SEE BRIGHT-ORANGE EYES GLOWING.
James: IT'S TARGETING YOU.
IT SAID YOUR NAME.
YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT CAN HAPPEN.
IT SCARED ME [BLEEP.]
LESS.
Justin: WE WENT TO THE GRAVEYARD BECAUSE WE HEARD IT WAS HAUNTED.
IT'S NOT AN ANIMAL.
IT'S NOT A PERSON.
WHAT COULD IT BE? MY GHOST STORY BEGAN WHEN I FIRST SET FOO IN PIERCE CEMETERY.
WHEN YOU STEP INSIDE, IT'S JUS A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT FEELING.
IT LITERALLY FEELS LIKE IT DROPS 20°, 30° INSIDE.
YOU GO FROM BEING OUTSIDE TO, YOU KNOW, SHORTS AND A T-SHIR TO WALKING INSIDE AND NEEDING TO PUT A JACKET ON.
THERE'S A MIST ABOUT IT, AS WELL.
IT'S JUST -- IT'S FOGGY INSIDE.
YOU JUST GE A CREEPY, SAD FEELING.
James: THE CEMETERY IS ALONG SOMETHING CALLED "THE DEATH TRAIL," WHICH NATIVE AMERICAN MARCHED TO THE BATTLE AND TIPPECANOE IN 1811, AND WE BELIEVE THAT SOME OF THE EARLIER SKIRMISHES OF THE WAR COULD HAVE HAPPENED VERY WELL IN THE CEMETERY GROUNDS.
BEFORE GOING OUT TO HELL'S HOLE, JUSTIN DID NO BELIEVE IN GHOSTS AT ALL.
Justin: ME AND SOME FRIENDS WENT TO THE GRAVEYARD BECAUSE WE HEARD IT WAS HAUNTED, BUT WE HAD NO IDEA WHAT WE WERE IN FOR.
WE WENT TO DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE CEMETERY.
AT FIRST, IT WAS KIND OF DEAD.
THERE WASN'T MUCH GOING ON.
THEN WE WENT TO AN AREA WE CALL "HELL'S HOLE.
" THAT'S WHEN ACTIVITY STARTS PICKING UP.
WE TOOK SOME PICTURES.
WE GOT SOME ORBS.
WHEN I FIRST SEEN THE PICTURE OF THE RED ORB, IT REALLY MADE ME START TO THINK WHAT COULD BE AT PIERCE.
COULD IT BE SOMETHING NEGATIVE? THE COLOR RED IS TYPICALLY ASSOCIATED WITH A NEGATIVE ENTITY.
ONE OF THE BIGGEST CLAIMS AT PIERCE IS THE EYES.
YOU CAN BE WALKING AROUND, AND YOU'LL SEE BRIGHT-ORANGE EYES GLOWING.
THE PICTURE EVIDENCE OF THE EYES WAS RIGHT NEAR HELL'S HOLE.
IT'S NOT AN ANIMAL, CLEARLY.
THEY'RE BRIGHT.
THEY'RE ORANGE.
IT'S NOT A PERSON.
WHAT COULD IT BE? WHEN I FIRST SEEN THE GLOWING EYES, IT GOT MY ATTENTION, ABSOLUTELY.
I APPROACHED WHAT WE CALL "HELL'S HOLE," WHICH IS A TREE.
AND I HAVE A RECORDER, AND I SET IT DOWN IN BRANCHES THAT KIND OF CREATE AN "X.
" IT FIT PERFECTLY, AND I START ASKING QUESTIONS.
YOU KNOW, I SAID, "I WANT TO SPEAK TO THE PERSON THAT'S FROM HELL.
" AND I START GETTING KIND OF PROVOCATIVE WITH IT.
THEN I FIGURED, "WELL, I WANT TO SEE SOMETHING.
" SO I SAY, "IF YOU CAN KNOCK THIS RECORDER DOWN, I'LL LEAVE THIS PLACE.
" ON COMMAND, IT FLIES OFF THE TREE AT ME.
WE REVIEWED IT.
IT'S ACTUALLY HIT FROM THE TOP.
IT FLIES ABOUT A GOOD TWO, THREE FEET.
OBVIOUSLY, IF IT WAS WIND OR MAYBE SHIFTING OF THE TREE OR SOMETHING, IT JUST WOULD HAVE FELL STRAIGHT DOWN.
THIS WAS THROWN FROM THE TOP OF THE TREE.
James: HE CAME OVER AND HE GOES, "YOU WON'T BELIEVE WHAT I [BLEEP.]
CAUGHT.
"YOU WON'T BELIEVE THIS.
YOU WON'T BELIEVE THIS.
IT SCARED ME [BLEEP.]
LESS.
" Justin: YOU CAN SEE ORBS.
YOU CAN SEE LIGHTS.
THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS THAT CAN HAPPEN -- EVEN EVPs.
YOU CAN HAVE EXPLANATIONS FOR THOSE ALL DAY LONG, BUT WHEN IT REALLY COMES DOWN TO STANDING THERE, HAVING ONE PERSON BEHIND YOU WITH A CAMERA, KNOWING THERE'S NOBODY THERE IN FRONT OF YOU, AND SEEING THAT RECORDER THROWN OFF ON COMMAND, YOU CAN'T ASK FOR ANY MORE EVIDENCE THAN THAT.
SPIRITS ARE KNOWN TO TAKE ENERGY FROM ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT, TO ACTUALLY MANIFEST THEMSELVES EITHER PHYSICALLY OR TO TOUCH YOU OR TO KNOCK THINGS OVER, IN THIS CASE.
James: WHEN I SAW THE EVIDENCE ON THE RECORDING -- KNOCKING ON A TREE -- I WANTED TO LEAVE.
I DIDN'T FEEL SAFE BEING THERE.
IT CHILLED MY BONES.
Justin: RIGHT AFTER THE RECORDER FLEW OFF THE TREE, WE WALKED DOWN A LITTLE BIT, MAYBE 30 YARDS, TO WHAT WE CALL "FATHER SMITH'S GRAVE.
" SO, I'M ASKING QUESTIONS.
I'M ASKING FOR SOMETHING TO GIVE US A SIGN THAT IT'S THERE.
AND THEN MY KEYS START GOING OFF.
[ KEYS BEEPING .]
HOLY [BLEEP.]
JUST FOR THE RECORD, THEY ONLY DO THA WHEN YOU PRESS THE MIDDLE BUTTON TO AUTO-START MY CAR.
I HAD MY REMOTE STAR IN MY POCKET, AND THE WAY REMOTE START WORKS ON MY CAR IS YOU HAVE TO HOLD THE BUTTON DOWN.
IF YOU HOLD IT DOWN FOR A COUPLE SECONDS, IT GETS CONNECTION TO MY CAR AND STARTS MY CAR.
SO, I PULL THE KEYS OUT.
I'M HOLDING THEM FLAT IN MY HAND.
I'M ASKING QUESTIONS, AND I'M LIKE, "IF THAT WAS YOU, CAN YOU DO IT AGAIN?" WHATEVER WAS OUT THERE WITH US HELD THE BUTTON DOWN LONG ENOUGH THAT IT ACTUALLY SENDS THE SIGNAL TO MY CAR TO START IT.
[ ENGINE TURNS OVER .]
THAT'S MY CAR.
James: IT JUST STARTED YOUR CAR.
Justin: IT JUST STARTED MY CAR.
THERE'S A DEFINITE ORB LESS THAN TWO FEET AWAY FROM MY KEYS THAT WERE JUST PRESSED.
FROM NEVER EXPERIENCING ANYTHING LIKE THAT BEFORE TO HAVING ALL THESE THINGS HAPPEN AT THE SAME TIME, IT WAS TERRIFYING.
James: SO, AT THAT POINT, I WAS GETTING A LITTLE WORRIED ABOUT JUSTIN.
I TOLD HIM, "BE SAFE.
YOU KNOW, PROTECT YOURSELF.
"MAKE SURE YOU'RE NO OPENING YOURSELF UP TO SOMETHING THAT COULD HARM YOU.
" JUSTIN WAS DOING A RECORDING SESSION, AND HE HEARD THE ENTITY SAY HIS NAME.
"WOW.
IT'S TARGETING YOU.
IT SAID YOUR NAME.
"YOU NEED TO BE REALLY CAREFUL.
OTHERWISE, YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT COULD HAPPEN.
" WHEN WE LEFT THE CEMETERY, I TOLD JUSTIN IT WAS VERY CLEAR THAT HE NEEDED TO PROTEC HIMSELF AND SAY A PRAYER SO NOTHING WOULD FOLLOW HIM HOME.
Justin: THAT NIGHT, I WAS OBVIOUSLY EXCITED FOR ALL THE STUFF THAT HAPPENED.
I WENT STRAIGHT HOME AND FORGOT TO SAY THE PRAYER.
I WAS REALLY DOWN THE NEXT DAY, YOU KNOW, JUST WASN'T FEELING MYSELF.
IT EVEN GOT TO THE POIN WHERE I STARTED TO DRIVE TO PIERCE CEMETERY BY MYSELF WITHOUT TELLING ANYBODY WHERE I WAS GOING.
I GOT TO MY CAR, OPENED MY DOOR, AND REALIZED, "WHAT AM I DOING?" SO, I GO BACK INSIDE, BUT I'M HEARING THINGS THROUGHOUT MY HOUSE.
I'M HEARING SOUNDS LIKE SOMEBODY'S WALKING AROUND DOWNSTAIRS.
I FINALLY HAD THE IDEA TO TAKE THE RECORDER THAT I HAD FROM THE NIGHT BEFORE AND LEAVE I SITTING ON THE TABLE AND LEAVE.
I TAKE MY DOG WITH ME.
I'M GONE FOR 15, 20 MINUTES.
THEN WE WENT BACK TO CHECK ON THE RECORDER.
MAYBE 30 SECONDS AFTER HEARING MY CAR DRIVE AWAY, YOU CAN LITERALLY HEAR SOMEBODY OPEN MY BEDROOM DOOR WALK UP MY STAIRS GO THROUGH THE KITCHEN, OPEN CABINETS, OPEN DOORS GO BACK DOWNSTAIRS.
I KNEW THERE WAS NOBODY HERE.
I LOCKED THE DOOR BEHIND ME.
THERE WAS NOBODY THERE.
THERE'S NO WAY THESE NOISES SHOULD HAVE BEEN HAPPENING.
James: I TOLD HIM, "YOU NEED TO STAY A PRAYER, 'CAUSE OBVIOUSLY SOMETHING FOLLOWED YOU HOME FROM THE CEMETERY.
" SO HE SAID HIS PRAYER, YOU KNOW, AND EVERYTHING WAS CALM.
Justin: AND THEN I WOKE UP THE NEXT DAY, AND IT JUST SEEMED LIKE EVERYTHING WAS BACK TO NORMAL.
I FELT NORMAL.
I DIDN'T FEEL SAD AND DOWN AND DEPRESSED.
I WASN'T HEARING THINGS ANYMORE.
IF YOU'RE GOING OUT AND YOU'RE LOOKING FOR THESE THINGS, YOU NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING, YOU'RE WITH PEOPLE THAT HAVE DONE THIS BEFORE, AND YOU'RE NO GETTING INTO SOMETHING THAT YOU CAN' GET YOURSELF OUT OF.
James: THIS IS THE MOST FRIGHTENING THING I'VE EVER ENCOUNTERED IN MY LIFE.
MY WORST FEAR IS FOR ME OR ONE OF MY FRIENDS TO GET POSSESSED AND NOT BE ABLE TO DEAL WITH I AND NOT BE ABLE TO HELP THEM.
Justin: IF YOU ASK ME IF I BELIEVE IN GHOSTS, I'LL TELL YOU I'M NOT SURE, BUT THE INCIDENCE AT HELL'S HOLE WAS ONE OF THE MOST SCARIES EXPERIENCES I'VE EVER BEEN THROUGH, AND IT MAKES ME CHANGE HOW I THINK, HOW I VIEW EVERYTHING NOW.
McWethy: YOU KNOW AS SOON AS YOU GO IN THERE, SOMETHING'S GONNA HAPPEN.
Hensley: I KNEW WE HAD TO GET OUT OF THE BUILDING.
McWethy: ALL OF A SUDDEN, I FELT A PRESSURE ON MY CHEST.
Hensley: IT WAS THE SCARIEST THING THAT I'VE EVER EXPERIENCED.
MY GHOST STORY BEGAN WHEN I FIRST STEPPED FOOT IN THE POASTTOWN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL.
McWethy: BEFORE I WEN TO POASTTOWN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, I'VE ALWAYS BEEN SKEPTICAL ABOU THERE BEING SOMETHING OUT THERE.
I ALWAYS HAD A CURIOSITY ABOUT IT, JUST NEVER HAD ANYTHING HAPPEN TO ME BEFORE.
Hensley: WE WENT TO THE SCHOOL 'CAUSE WE HEARD IT WAS HAUNTED.
WE HAD NO IDEA WHAT WAS GONNA HAPPEN TO US ONCE WE GOT THERE.
[ TRAIN WHISTLE BLOWS .]
McWethy: BEFORE THE SCHOOL WAS EVEN ON THE LAND, TWO TRAINS COLLIDED ABOUT A MILE DOWN THE ROAD.
19 PEOPLE DIED IN THE TRAIN ACCIDENT.
THEY USED THE FIELDS AS A MAKESHIFT TRIAGE, JUST FOR PEOPLE WHO WERE HURT, AND ALSO A PLACE JUST TO KIND OF KEEP THE BODIES.
Hensley: THERE WASN'T A LOCAL HOSPITAL, SO THESE PEOPLE HAD TO ACTUALLY LAY IN THIS FIELD AND SUFFER.
AND ALL THAT ENERGY IS STILL THERE.
McWethy: THE SCHOOL ACTUALLY OPENED IN 1935.
THERE'S STORIES OF A COUPLE OF KIDS WHO HAD BEEN HIT BY CARS OUT IN FRONT OF THE SCHOOL.
THERE WAS A STORY OF A GIRL WHO WAS ON THE THIRD FLOOR, AND SHE WAS PLAYING AROUND ONE OF THE BANISTERS AND FELL OVER THE BANISTER, ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE VERY BOTTOM.
SHE DIED INSTANTLY.
Hensley: WHEN WE GOT TO THE SCHOOL, THE FEELING WAS PRETTY INTENSE.
McWethy: WE PULLED UP TO THE BUILDING.
IT'S THREE STORIES.
IT'S GOT THESE PILLARS IN THE FRONT -- LOOKS REALLY, REALLY CREEPY.
THE WINDOWS WERE BROKEN, PAINT'S CRACKING.
Hensley: IT JUST HAS THIS REALLY EERIE VIBE TO IT.
McWethy: YOU KNOW AS SOON AS YOU GO IN THERE, SOMETHING'S GONNA HAPPEN.
THERE'S GONNA BE SOMETHING MESSING WITH YOU.
I DEFINITELY FEL THAT THERE WAS SOMETHING THAT WAS EITHER WATCHING US OR WAS WAITING FOR US.
Hensley: I ACTUALLY LOOKED AT NICK AND SAID, "DUDE, I FEEL LIKE I WANT TO RUN.
I WANT TO GET OUT OF HERE.
" Prudhomme: WE STARTED TO GE SOME UNUSUAL HAPPENINGS.
Morrison: IT ACTUALLY CAST A SHADOW ON THE WALL.
THERE WAS NO WORDS TO DESCRIBE IT.
Prudhomme: I DON'T THINK IT TAKES MUCH TO REALIZE THAT SOMETHING WAS THERE.
McWethy: YOU KNOW AS SOON AS YOU GO IN THERE SOMETHING'S GONNA HAPPEN.
I DEFINITELY FEL THAT THERE WAS SOMETHING EITHER WATCHING US OR WAS WAITING FOR US.
Hensley: I ACTUALLY LOOKED AT NICK AND SAID, "DUDE, I FEEL LIKE I WANT TO RUN.
I WANT TO GET OUT OF HERE.
" McWethy: WHEN WE WERE ON THE SECOND FLOOR, WE WERE HEARING BANGS ON DOORS.
YOU'D HEAR DOORS CLOSING.
IT WAS REALLY, REALLY WEIRD.
Hensley: HEARING THE SPIRITS MAKE ALL THAT NOISE, IT FREAKED ME OUT.
McWethy: ALL OF A SUDDEN, WE HEARD WHAT SOUNDED LIKE DESKS BEING DRUG ACROSS THE GROUND, ALMOST LIKE A TEACHER WAS GETTING THINGS TOGETHER FOR THE NEXT CLASS.
AND THEN WE HEARD A BANG.
BRIAN WAS LIKE, "WHEN I COUNT TO THREE, I WANT YOU TO LET US KNOW IF YOU DON'T WANT US UP HERE ANYMORE.
" SO HE SAID, "ONE, TWO, THREE," AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN, I FELT A PRESSURE ON MY CHES LIKE SOMEONE WAS HOLDING ME UP AGAINST THE WALL.
Hensley: I'M LOOKING AT NICK, AND I CAN TELL SOMETHING'S NOT RIGHT.
HEY.
ARE YOU ALL RIGHT? NICK? HE DIDN'T ANSWER ME.
McWethy: I HEARD WHAT HE SAID, BUT I REALLY COULDN'T RESPOND, AND THAT FREAKED ME OU EVEN MORE.
Hensley: I WAS ACTUALLY PRETTY TERRIFIED.
I'VE NEVER SEEN A POSSESSION, BUT I BELIEVE IT CAN HAPPEN, AND I'LL BE HONEST WITH YOU, AT THAT POINT, I THOUGHT MY FRIEND WAS BEING POSSESSED AND I WAS WORRIED FOR HIM.
YOU ALL RIGHT? McWethy: YEAH.
YEAH.
I'M GOOD.
Hensley: WHEN NICK WAS EXPERIENCING THAT PRESSURE ON HIS CHEST, WE CAPTURED AN ORB.
IT'S BLUE IN COLOR, SOLID.
IT SEEMS LIKE IT MAY HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF MOVEMENT TO IT.
IT'S ALMOST LIKE YOU CAN SEE A LITTLE TRAIL OR A LITTLE TRACER BEHIND IT.
BUT IT WAS HOLDING NICK AGAINST THE WALL.
McWethy: RIGHT HERE.
Hensley: SURE.
McWethy: WE WERE TRYING TO COMMUNICATE WITH WHATEVER SPIRIT WAS THERE, AND WE HAD A LITTLE VIDEO RECORDER.
WE DECIDED JUST TO PUT IT ON THE GROUND.
WE WOULD ASK IF THEY COULD MAKE A NOISE FOR US.
WE'D HEAR A KNOCK ON THE WALL.
[ THUD .]
WE WANTED TO HEAR THE BANGS THAT WE HAD CAUGHT ON COMMAND, SO WE STARTED WATCHING IT, AND ALL OF A SUDDEN, BRIAN'S LIKE, "DID YOU SEE THAT?" "NO.
" "WATCH IT AGAIN.
" SUDDENLY, YOU SEE A SHADOW START BEHIND THE DOOR, KIND OF CROSSES THE DOOR, TURNS TOWARDS US, AND JUST FALLS THROUGH THE FLOOR.
IT'S ALMOST LIKE IT SAW THAT WE WERE THERE.
Hensley: WE TRIED AND TRIED AND TRIED TO FIGURE OU WHERE THAT CAME FROM, AND THERE'S NO EXPLANATION.
YOU CAN TELL BY THE SIZE OF THE SHADOW THAT IT'S MOST LIKELY AN ADULT.
McWethy: THE SHADOW THAT WE CAUGH SEEMED LIKE IT MAY HAVE BEEN A SPIRI KIND OF KEEPING AN EYE ON US.
IT REALLY KIND OF FREAKED ME OU THAT IT WAS THERE, AND I HAD NO IDEA THAT IT WAS.
Hensley: AFTER THAT, WE WENT TO THE BASEMENT.
McWethy: AND IT'S SO DARK.
YOU CAN PUT YOUR HAND IN FRONT OF YOUR FACE AND NOT EVEN SEE IT.
IT'S GOT A REAL, REAL CREEPY FEELING TO IT.
Hensley: I GOT GOOSE BUMPS.
KNOWING THAT A LITTLE GIRL HAD FALLEN DOWN THE STAIRS RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER REALLY CREEPED US OUT.
THE ENERGY IS HIGH IN THAT ROOM.
YOU CAN'T HELP BUT FEEL IT.
McWethy: WE WERE DOING THE SESSION, TRYING TO COMMUNICATE WITH WHATEVER WAS DOWN THERE.
Hensley: AND THERE WAS A WORD THAT COME ACROSS -- "HATE.
" JUST ONE OF YOU SPEAK AT A TIME.
IT CAUGHT ME OFF GUARD.
I SAID, "HATE?" WHAT IS IT THAT YOU HATE? RIGHT AWAY, AS SOON AS I ASKED THAT, "YOU.
" McWethy: AND ALL OF A SUDDEN, BRIAN PULLS ON ME.
Hensley: I FELT SOMETHING ON MY BACK, LIKE I GOT HIT WITH SOMETHING.
McWethy: HE PULLED UP HIS SHIRT, AND HE HAD WHAT LOOKED LIKE A WHIP MARK ON THE BACK OF HIM.
THAT'S CRAZY.
Hensley: AND HE INSTANTLY SAID, "THERE'S A MARK ON YOUR BACK.
IT'S GETTING BIGGER.
IT'S WELTING UP.
" McWethy: I HAD NEVER, EVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THA IN MY ENTIRE LIFE, ESPECIALLY WITH IT ACTUALLY DEVELOPING IN FRONT OF US.
Hensley: AND AT THIS POINT, I'M REALLY STARTING TO GET CONCERNED 'CAUSE IT'S REALLY STARTING TO BURN.
ALL I COULD THINK ABOU WAS MY WIFE, MY KIDS.
AND I'M THINKING, "WHAT'S NEXT? AM I GONNA START BLEEDING?" McWethy: IT REALLY WORRIED ME FOR HIS SAFETY.
Hensley: I WAS COMPLETELY BESIDE MYSELF.
I HAD NO IDEA WHAT WAS HAPPENING.
I KNEW WE HAD TO GET OUT OF THE BUILDING.
McWethy: THIS EXPERIENCE HAS DEFINITELY CHANGED MY VIEW ON THE AFTERLIFE.
WE'VE CAUGHT SPIRITS WHO HAVE BEEN IN THE SCHOOL, ALL THE LOUD BANGING ON THE DOORS, DOORS CLOSING, HAVING THAT PRESSURE ON MY CHEST, SEEING A FRIEND OF MINE GET SCRATCHED DEFINITELY LET ME KNOW THAT THERE'S SOMETHING ELSE OUT THERE.
Hensley: GETTING SCRATCHED BY THE SPIRI AT THE POASTTOWN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL IS BY FAR THE SCARIEST THING THAT I'VE EVER EXPERIENCED.
NOW WE HAVE REAL, PHYSICAL PROOF THAT GHOSTS DO EXIST.
Morrison: THERE WAS NO WORDS TO DESCRIBE IT.
Prudhomme: I WANTED TO SCREAM AND RUN OUT OF THE BUILDING.
IT'S A SPIRIT.
MY GHOST STORY BEGAN WHEN MY HUSBAND, DAVID, AND I PURCHASED THE RISING SUN HOTEL AND STARTED TO RENOVATE.
THE BUILDING ITSELF IS INTERESTING.
IT'S GOT A CASTLE TURRE THAT COMES UP WITH A POINT ON THE PEAK.
IT'S A HOTEL BUILT IN THE EARLY 1850s, AND WE'VE GOT 11 ROOMS ABOVE, AND DOWNSTAIRS WE HAVE THE RESTAURANT.
ONCE WE STARTED REALLY RENOVATING AND MIXING THINGS UP A LITTLE BIT, WE STARTED TO GE SOME UNUSUAL HAPPENINGS THAT WERE PRETTY SURPRISING.
THE FIRST THING I NOTICED HAPPEN, THERE'S A GRILL BLOCK THAT LOOKS KIND OF LIKE A BRICK, AND WE HAD JUST FINISHED CLEANING THE GRILL, SET IT DOWN, WENT INTO THE OTHER PART OF THE KITCHEN, AND WE HEARD THIS BAM.
AND WE RAN INTO THE OTHER PART OF THE KITCHEN, AND IT WAS THE FREAKIEST THING BECAUSE THIS THING PICKED UP, FLEW INTO A STAINLESS STEEL REFRIGERATOR AND DENTED IT, AND HERE IT WAS LAYING ON THE FLOOR IN FRONT OF THE REFRIGERATOR.
AND WE ALL LOOKED AT EACH OTHER, I MEAN, DUMBFOUNDED.
THERE'S NOT A WIND.
THERE'S NOT A FAN.
THIS THING JUST FLEW.
THE DENT IS STILL THERE.
THAT'S ONE OF OUR PIECES OF EVIDENCE THAT'S NEVER GONNA GO AWAY.
AT THAT POINT, I KNEW THERE WAS SOMETHING SUPERNATURAL DEFINITELY GOING ON IN THE BUILDING, AND I KIND OF HAD A FUNNY FEELING THAT WAS JUST THE BEGINNING.
A COUPLE OF DAYS LATER, MY HUSBAND WAS IN THE BAR.
ACTUALLY, THE TWO OF US WERE THE ONLY ONES IN THE BUILDING.
MY HUSBAND HAD A LITTLE ROO BEER IN A SMALL PILSNER GLASS.
HE HAD FINISHED IT, LEFT I ON THE BAR RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE, AND WE GO BACK INTO THE KITCHEN AND WE'RE PREPPING FOR DINNER AND WE'RE CHOPPING, DICING, AND WE HEAR THIS CRASH.
AND WE BOTH LOOKED AT EACH OTHER, AND WE RAN THROUGH THE SWINGING DOOR, CAME DOWN THROUGH THE DINING ROOM, AND SOMEHOW THAT GLASS HAD FLOWN ABOUT FIVE FEET OVER AND WAS SHATTERED ALL OVER THE STONE FLOOR.
THERE WAS NO WAY TO EXPLAIN A GLASS FLYING FIVE FEE THROUGH THE AIR AND CRASHING.
WE KIND OF LOOKED AT EACH OTHER AND SAID, "HERE WE GO AGAIN.
SOMETHING ELSE.
" ANOTHER INTERESTING THING THAT HAPPENED -- I WAS SITTING AT THE BAR AND I WAS WRITING THE NEW MENU DOWN, AND I HAD THE DOOR PROPPED OPEN.
AND SOMETIMES YOU GET A FEELING LIKE SOMEBODY'S LOOKING AT YOU.
AND, YOU KNOW, I KIND OF LOOKED OVER TOWARDS THE HALL AND THOUGHT I SAW SOMETHING, DID A DOUBLE TAKE, AND HERE WAS THIS HUGE, DARK OUTLINE OF A MAN, AND HE DEFINITELY WAS LOOKING AT ME 'CAUSE HE KIND OF HAD HIS HEAD COCKED, LOOKING AROUND THE CORNER.
I JUMPED UP, AND I DID RUN TOWARDS HIM, AND HE JUST -- JUST LIKE SLOW MOTION, JUST STARTED WALKING DOWN THE HALLWAY, AND THEN -- AS SOON AS I GOT IN THE HALLWAY, YOU KNOW, HE WAS GONE.
THINGS LIKE THA NEVER HAPPENED TO ME BEFORE, AND I WANTED TO SCREAM AND RUN OUT OF THE BUILDING.
I WAS FEARFUL BECAUSE IT WAS THERE AND IT WAS A SHOCK TO SEE SOMEONE LOOKING AT ME, BUT NOT REALLY A HUMAN.
Peterson: I FELT AN ENERGY STANDING RIGHT ON ME.
I LOOKED AT ART AND I SAID, "WE HAVE TO GET OUT OF HERE NOW.
" White: IT MAKES YOU REALIZE THA YOU'RE NOT IN THE CAVE ALONE.
Peterson: WE DID ACTUALLY CAPTURE A SPIRIT.
Prudhomme: THERE WAS THIS HUGE, DARK OUTLINE OF A MAN, AND AS SOON AS I GOT IN THE HALLWAY, YOU KNOW, HE WAS GONE.
I WAS FEARFUL BECAUSE IT WAS A SHOCK TO SEE SOMEONE LOOKING AT ME, BUT NOT REALLY A HUMAN.
KEITH MORRISON IS A PARANORMAL INVESTIGATOR WITH CPS PARANORMAL AND ACTUALLY CALLED US UP AND ASKED IF THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO COME AND INVESTIGATE IN OUR BUILDING.
AND WE SAID, "BRING IT ON.
" Morrison: WHEN WE FIRST HEARD ABOUT THE CAJUN KITCHEN, THERE WAS ACTUALLY A LITTLE SEGMENT IN A BOOK ABOUT IT.
AFTER I HAD SAT DOWN AND TALKED WITH SHARON AND FOUND OUT EVERYTHING THAT WAS HAPPENING THERE, IT JUST SEEMED LIKE IT WAS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE.
Prudhomme: I WAS PRETTY CONFIDEN THAT HE WOULD FIND SOMETHING, IF NOT A LOT OF THINGS.
Morrison: ONE OF THE LOCATIONS THAT SHARON HAD MENTIONED WAS ON THE STAIRWELL THAT GOES UP THROUGH THE RISING SUN HOTEL.
SUPPOSEDLY, A WOMAN'S APPARITION WAS SEEN ON THE STAIRWELL, WALKING DOWN THE STAIRWELL, AND IN THROUGH THE RESTAURAN ON SEVERAL DIFFERENT OCCASIONS.
SO A CAMERA WAS SET UP ON THE STAIRWELL.
WENT UP ONTO THE STAIRWELL, AND I STARTED DOING AN EVP SESSION.
AS I ASKED THE QUESTION, "IS THERE ANYBODY HERE WITH ME?" A VOICE BROKE THE AIR RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME AND ACTUALLY THREW ME BACK FOR A SECOND, AND IT SAID "IT'S ME.
I'M WAITING.
" AND IT HAPPENED TO BE A FEMALE VOICE.
Prudhomme: WHEN KEITH PLAYED BACK THE EVP AND I HEARD "IT'S ME.
I'M WAITING," THAT WAS AMAZING.
I COULD NOT BELIEVE I BECAUSE WE SEE THINGS FLY, BUT WE NEVER HEARD VOICES.
AND TO BE ABLE TO HEAR A VOICE, THAT WAS THE FREAKIEST THING.
Morrison: IT WAS ASTONISHING JUST TO HEAR SOMETHING THAT LOUD AND KNOW THERE IS NO OTHER FEMALE IN THIS BUILDING.
Prudhomme: IT'S A SPIRIT.
Morrison: ANOTHER EVP THAT WE CAUGHT THAT NIGH HAPPENED TO BE "KLAUS," AND IT WAS VERY LOUD, IT WAS VERY DISTINCT, AND IT ALSO HAS A GERMAN ACCENT TO IT.
Prudhomme: PETER KLAUS, WHO WAS THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THE OLD RISING SUN HOTEL.
AND WHEN I HEARD THAT VOICE WITH THE GERMAN ACCENT AND HE SAID, "KLAUS," AND IT WAS PRONOUNCED AND IT WAS DISTINCT THAT WAS, IN ITSELF, STUNNING.
Morrison: AT ONE TIME DURING THE NIGHT, THERE WAS A CAMERA POINTED TOWARD MIKE.
HE WAS FEELING HEAVINESS AROUND HIM AND HE THOUGH THERE MIGHT BE SOMETHING THERE.
PICTURES WERE THEN TAKEN.
[ CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS .]
I'M GETTING A SHADOW ABOVE YOU.
THREE ACTUALLY HAD A PURPLE MIST THAT MOVED, AND THE MOST INTRIGUING THING ABOUT THIS PURPLE MIS IS ACTUALLY CAST A SHADOW ON THE WALL.
THERE WAS NO WORDS TO DESCRIBE IT.
Prudhomme: WHEN KEITH HAD SHOWN ME THE PURPLE MIST, I WAS COMPLETELY BLOWN AWAY BECAUSE I HAD NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THAT.
YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU LOOK AT THESE THINGS, YOU TRY TO LOOK FOR DIFFERENT REASONS WHAT IS MAKING IT HAPPEN, BUT ALL THE LIGHTS IN THE DINING ROOM WERE OFF.
THEY WORKED WITH INFRARED CAMERAS.
THERE'S NO MIRRORS.
THERE'S NO WINDOWS.
IT'S COMPLETE DARKNESS.
I'M NOT A HIGH-TECH PERSON, BUT I DON'T THINK IT TAKES MUCH TO REALIZE THAT SOMETHING WAS THERE.
Morrison: AFTER CAPTURING THE EVPs CAPTURING THE PICTURES OF THIS PURPLE MIS THAT DEFINITELY SHOULD NOT BE THERE, THERE'S NO DOUBT IN MY MIND THAT THE CAJUN KITCHEN HAS AN EXTREME AMOUN OF PARANORMAL ACTIVITY.
Prudhomme: I THINK ALL OF THIS, IT'S CHANGED MY MIND BECAUSE IT OPENED MY EYES TO A WHOLE NOTHER WORLD THAT EXISTS ALL ROUND US.
Morrison: AND IF YOU EVER GO TO THE LOST CAJUN KITCHEN TO SIT DOWN AND HAVE A MEAL, I WOULD SAY THIS TO YOU -- PULL OUT AN EXTRA CHAIR.
SOMEBODY MIGHT BE JOINING YOU.
Peterson: WHEN I'M IN THE CAVE, I FEEL PEOPLE WATCHING ME.
White: IT GAVE ME COLD CHILLS.
IT'S SPOOKY.
Peterson: AND I FELT LIKE THE SPIRITS DID NOT WANT US IN THEIR AREA.
White: MY GHOST STORY BEGAN WHEN I TOOK A DATE TO A HAUNTED CAVE IN SUMMERSET, KENTUCKY.
MY FATHER BOUGHT THE CAVE ROUGHLY 20-SOME YEARS AGO, AND SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING IT, PASSED IT ON DOWN TO ME AS A GIFT.
THE CAVE IS ACTUALLY IN THE SIDE OF A STONE CLIFF.
THERE'S A STREAM OF WATER THAT FLOWS OUT OF THE CREVICES IN THE ROCK.
THE TRAIL THAT GOES DOWN TO THE CAVE STARTS OUT ON TOP OF THE CLIFF, AND YOU DESCEND THROUGH A CRACK IN THE ROCKS.
Peterson: ART AND I WENT TO HIGH SCHOOL TOGETHER, AND WE WERE JUST FRIENDS, AND THEN AS THINGS WENT ON, WE STARTED DATING.
White: ONE DAY, I RECONNECTED WITH ALISA.
OUR FIRST DATE WAS ACTUALLY TO THE CAVE.
Peterson: WHEN HE ASKED ME TO GO ON OUR FIRST DATE, OUT TO THE CAVE, IT WAS GREAT FOR ME BECAUSE I'M A VERY OUTDOORS-TYPE PERSON.
WHEN I FIRST WALK INTO THE CAVE, IT'S HUGE AND IT'S DARK AND COLD.
I IMMEDIATELY FEEL SUFFOCATED.
AFTER WE CAME OUT OF THE CAVE, WE CLIMBED UP TO THE PICNIC TABLES, AND WE JUST SAT THERE TALKING FOR A WHILE.
AND I JUST HAD A FEELING, SO I STEPPED AWAY FROM THE PICNIC TABLE TO THE AREA THAT I WAS BEING PULLED TO, AND AS I LOOKED TO MY RIGHT, I SAW AN APPARITION OF A NATIVE AMERICAN.
IT SCARED ME BECAUSE I WASN'T EXPECTING IT, BUT THEN JUST AS QUICK AS I LOOKED AWAY AND LOOKED BACK, IT WAS GONE.
SO, AS IT DISAPPEARED, I REALIZED THAT I HAD SEEN AN APPARITION OF A NATIVE AMERICAN.
I KNEW WHAT I HAD SEEN, SO I HAD TO TELL ART ABOUT IT.
White: IN THE NEIGHBORING COUNTY, THERE WAS THE CHEROKEE CHILDREN INDIAN MASSACRE.
OVER 100 CHILDREN AND WOMEN THAT WAS GATHERED TOGETHER TO MOVE OUT OF THE TERRITORY WAS MASSACRED BY WHITE MEN, AND I FEEL LIKE THAT'S PROBABLY TIED TO THE CAVE.
ANY OF THEM THAT MAY HAVE DWELLED NEAR THE CAVE MAY HAVE RETURNED AFTER THE MASSACRE.
Peterson: ONE DAY, WHEN I WAS IN THE CAVE -- I HAD TAKEN MY SON AND HIS FRIEND OUT.
THEY WERE CLIMBING AROUND ON ROCKS, AND, AT THAT MOMENT, I FELT AN ENERGY IN MY SPACE AND IN MY AREA STANDING RIGHT ON ME.
WHEN I STEPPED AWAY, I CAPTURED A PICTURE.
THE MINUTE THAT I TOOK THE PICTURE AND LOOKED BACK DOWN AT MY CAMERA, I LOOKED AT ART AND I SAID, "WE HAVE TO GET OUT OF HERE NOW," BECAUSE I KNEW THIS WAS NOT GOOD.
White: WHEN I SAW THE PHOTO OF THAT MIST IN THE VIEWFINDER, IT REALLY WAS FRIGHTENING BECAUSE IT DOES LOOK THREATENING.
Peterson: FROM THAT POINT, WE HAVE BEEN INTRIGUED TO GO BACK TO SEE IF WE CAN FIND MORE SPIRITS THAT EXIST THERE.
White: WELL, WE WAS JUST WALKING AROUND, AND OUR FRIEND TURNED THE VIDEO CAMERA ON TO START TAKING SOME VIDEO FOOTAGE.
AND, BAM, THERE IT IS -- THIS SWOOPING ORB.
Peterson: WHEN I INITIALLY SAW THE VIDEO OF THE ORB, I FINALLY STARTED TAKING IT IN AND REALIZING THAT MAYBE WE DID ACTUALLY CAPTURE A SPIRIT.
White: IT GAVE ME COLD CHILLS.
IT'S SPOOKY.
IT MAKES YOU REALIZE THAT, HEY, YOU'RE NOT IN THE CAVE ALONE.
SO, WE WENT BACK ON ANOTHER TRIP LATER AND SET UP THE LASER GRID AND LEFT A VIDEO CAMERA BEHIND FOR ROUGHLY ABOUT AN HOUR, AND WE CAUGHT THE ORB FLYING ACROSS THA IN A VERTICAL MOTION.
Peterson: WHEN WE CAPTURED THE ORB WITH THE LASER GRID, I WAS VERY SHOCKED.
I DO BELIEVE THAT THE SPIRITS WERE TRYING TO SHOW THEMSELVES TO US.
WE HAD WEN IN A DIFFERENT PART OF THE CAVE THAT I HAD NEVER BEEN TO, AND WE DECIDED TO TURN OUR FLASHLIGHTS OFF AND TO JUST TAKE A MOMEN TO SEE IF WE COULD CAPTURE ANYTHING ON THE EVP, AND THAT WAS WHEN WE CAUGH THE EVP.
WHEN I HEARD THE EVP THAT SAID, "LET'S GET THE BLOND [BLEEP.]
" IT REALLY SHOCKED ME AND SCARED ME BECAUSE I FELT LIKE THE SPIRITS WERE VERY AGITATED AT US AND DID NOT WANT US IN THEIR AREA.
White: I'VE GOT COLD CHILLS RIGHT NOW TELLING THAT STORY.
THAT WAS ONE OF THE FEW THREATENING EVPs THAT WE HAVE COLLECTED.
SHORTLY AFTER THE EVP SAID, "GET THE BLOND [BLEEP.]
" ALISA'S HAIR GOT PULLED.
SHE WAS VERY STARTLED, VERY ALARMED, AND READY TO LEAVE THE CAVE AT THAT POINT, AS YOU CAN IMAGINE ANYBODY WOULD BE THAT HAD THEIR HAIR PULLED BY SOMETHING THAT WASN'T THERE.
Peterson: I BELIEVE THAT THE SPIRITS DEFINITELY WERE TRYING TO SCARE ME THAT DAY, AND THEY DID A GOOD JOB.
AFTER WE REVIEWED THE EVIDENCE IT REALLY TOOK ME ABOUT THREE OR FOUR WEEKS BEFORE I WOULD GO BACK IN, BECAUSE I DID TAKE THA VERY PERSONAL.
AND THAT WAS VERY, VERY SCARY TO ME.
I THINK THAT THE SPIRITS ARE STILL IN THE CAVE BECAUSE THEY ARE VERY PROTECTIVE OF THEIR LAND.
THIS IS WHERE THEY BELIEVE IS HOME, AND I DON'T THINK THEY WANT TO LEAVE THE CAVE.
White: ALISA AND I KEEP GOING BACK TO THE CAVE AFTER ALL THESE EXPERIENCES BECAUSE WE WANT TO UNDERSTAND AND WE WANT TO KNOW MORE ABOUT THE SPIRITS THAT EXIST IN THE CAVE.
FOR SOME ODD REASON, THEY'VE BEEN TRAPPED.
Peterson: I DO BELIEVE THAT THE SPIRITS HAVE RESIDED THERE FOR A VERY LONG TIME AND MAYBE THERE'S TIMES, JUST LIKE PEOPLE, THAT WE DON'T APPRECIATE HAVING SOMEONE IN OUR HOME, AND THEY DON'T APPRECIATE IT, EITHER.
White: I WOULD PROBABLY SPEND THE REST OF MY LIFE TRYING TO FIND OUT WHO THESE SPIRITS ARE IN THIS CAVE.
Jane: WE JUST LOOKED AT EACH OTHER, REALIZING THAT WE HEARD A VOICE OF SOMEONE LONG DEAD THAT STILL STAYS ON THAT SHIP.
Douglas: THERE WAS NO ONE ANYWHERE NEAR THE DOOR OF THE CELL.
Jane: I REALIZED I WAS STANDING ALONE ON THE DECK WITH A GHOST.
Jane: I DIDN'T SEE THAT.
I DIDN'T SEE THAT.
I DIDN'T SEE THAT.
Douglas: I SAW A BLACK SHADOW.
Jane: AND I HEARD DOUG SCREAMING.
Douglas: MY GHOST STORY BEGAN WHEN MY WIFE AND I WENT TO VISI THE U.
S.
S.
NORTH CAROLINA.
Jane: BATTLESHIP NORTH CAROLINA WAS HIT BY A JAPANESE TORPEDO IN WORLD WAR II.
[ EXPLOSION .]
WE BELIEVED THAT THE SPIRITS ABOARD THE BATTLESHIP NORTH CAROLINA ARE THE MEN THAT DIED IN THE TORPEDO ATTACK.
Douglas: PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN ON THE U.
S.
S.
NORTH CAROLINA HAVE CAPTURED ALL SORTS OF IMAGES -- BLACK SHADOWS.
THE VERY FIRST NIGH THAT WE WALKED ON THE SHIP, WE WERE CHECKING ON SOME VIDEO AND NEEDED TO SET UP ANOTHER CAMERA.
Jane: WE COULDN'T FIND A POWER SOURCE, SO DOUG UNSCREWED THE LIGHT BULB AND BROKE IT.
Douglas: SO, I WAS WONDERING WHAT TO DO WITH THE LIGHT BULB AND WHETHER WE SHOULD REPLACE IT OR NOT.
WE GOT A RECORDING OF A VOICE SAYING, "TELL THE TRUTH.
" THAT IS SHARP AND CLEAR.
Jane: WE HEARD A VOICE RESPOND WHEN HE BROKE THAT LIGHT BULB, AND THE VOICE SAID "TELL THE TRUTH.
" Douglas: WOW.
Jane: WE JUST LOOKED AT EACH OTHER, REALIZING THAT WE HEARD A VOICE OF SOMEONE LONG DEAD.
Douglas: LATER THAT NIGHT, WE ALL WENT DOWN TO THE MESS.
Jane: LOOKING UP INTO THE MESS, I SAW A SHADOW.
IT WAS CRISP AND CLEAR.
IT WAS A BIG MAN, AND HE JUS WALKED ACROSS THE SERVING AREA RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME, AND THEN WASN'T THERE ANYMORE.
Douglas: I WAS ON MY HANDS AND KNEES, TRYING TO GET TO A LOCATION IN THE MESS AREA.
GOT TO A POIN WHERE I COULD STAND UP, AND AS I STARTED TO STAND UP, I SAW A BLACK SHADOW, BUT IT WAS A DARK, VERY DENSE SHADOW, PASS IN FRONT OF ME -- BLOCKED OUT ALL THE LIGHT.
Jane: AND I'M SAYING, "I DIDN'T SEE THAT.
I DIDN'T SEE THAT.
I DIDN'T SEE THAT.
" HE MUST HAVE BEEN SEVEN FOOT TALL.
HE WAS SO BLACK, IT LOOKED LIKE YOU COULD REACH YOUR HAND INSIDE AND YOUR HAND WOULD DISAPPEAR INTO THAT BLACKNESS.
Douglas: I FOLLOWED IT WITH MY EYES, JUST STARING STRAIGHT INTO THE BACK OF I AS IT PASSED TOWARDS THE BAKERY AREA OF THE SHIP AND SIMPLY DISAPPEARED.
Jane: I COULDN'T BELIEVE WHAT I'D SEEN, BUT I KNOW I'D SEEN A GHOST.
I WAS STANDING IN THE ENGINE ROOM ONE NIGHT, AND IT WAS JUST DOUG AND I, AND ALL OF A SUDDEN, I FELT LIKE I WAS SURROUNDED BY STATIC ELECTRICITY.
AND IT GOT VERY, VERY COLD.
AND I FELT A PRESENCE STANDING BESIDE ME.
I WAS TOO SCARED TO MOVE.
I DIDN'T WANT TO TURN MY HEAD, SO I ASKED DOUG, "IS THERE SOMEBODY STANDING RIGHT NEXT TO ME?" Douglas: AND SURE ENOUGH, RIGHT ON HER SHOULDER, THERE WAS A MAN STANDING THERE.
Jane: BUT BEFORE DOUG HAD EVEN RAISED HIS CAMERA TO TAKE A PICTURE, THE APPARITION JUST DISAPPEARED.
LATER, I HAD BEEN STUDYING DOWN IN THE ARCHIVES OF THE SHIP, AND I BROUGHT HOME A COPY OF AN OLD PHOTOGRAPH OF ONE OF THE MEN WHO DIED DURING THE TORPEDO ACCIDENT.
AND I HANDED DOUG THIS PICTURE OF INKY NELSON.
Douglas: MY JAW MUST HAVE DROPPED DOWN TO MY CHEST, 'CAUSE IT WAS PRECISELY THE SPIRIT THAT I SAW IN THE ENGINE ROOM THAT NIGHT.
Jane: AND HE RECOGNIZED HIM IMMEDIATELY.
Douglas: I WAS TOTALLY SHOCKED THAT I COULD IDENTIFY A MAN FROM A PHOTOGRAPH FROM THE 1940s WHO'S STILL ON THE SHIP.
I WAS JUST TOTALLY AMAZED.
WE WERE TOLD THAT THERE WERE THINGS THAT HAPPENED IN THE BRIG, SO I SET UP A STATIONARY CAMERA.
IT HAD BEEN RECORDING ALL NIGHT.
I'M SITTING, WATCHING THE VIDEO, AND WHAT DO I SEE? THE DOOR OF THE BRIG SWINGING WILDLY.
Jane: WHEN I HEARD DOUG SCREAMING, I THOUGH SOMETHING HAD HAPPENED.
AND HE SAYS, "JUST WATCH THIS.
" WE STOOD THERE IN AWE, WATCHING THIS CELL DOOR OPEN AND CLOSE AND OPEN AND CLOSE.
IT WAS TERRIFYING.
Douglas: THERE WAS NO ONE ANYWHERE NEAR THE DOOR OF THE CELL.
WHEN WE EXAMINED THE VIDEO CLOSELY, THERE WAS NOT EVEN A HAND TOUCHING THE CELL DOOR.
[ DOOR SLAMS .]
INKY NELSON WAS A SAILOR FROM THE U.
S.
S.
NORTH CAROLINA WHO WAS KILLED DURING THE TORPEDO ATTACK BY A JAPANESE SUBMARINE.
Jane: INKY AND THE OTHER MEN THAT HAUNT THE BATTLESHIP WANT TO BE THERE, AND THEY WILL REMAIN THERE TO GUARD THAT SHIP FOR AS LONG AS IT STANDS.
Douglas: AFTER ALL THE EVIDENCE WE'VE ACCUMULATED, I HAVE NO DOUBT IN MY MIND THAT THE U.
S.
S.
NORTH CAROLINA IS A VERY HAUNTED PLACE.
Jane: IF YOU TOLD ME THAT YOU DIDN'T BELIEVE IN SPIRITS OR GHOSTS, THEN I'D INVITE YOU TO COME ALONG AND JOIN US AT THE BATTLESHIP.
WE'LL INTRODUCE YOU TO THE SPIRITS.
Strickland: I IMMEDIATELY GOT A MENTAL IMPRESSION OF A YOUNG GIRL.
THERE'S SOME FORCE THAT POPS THE DOOR OPEN.
Wilhoit: I GUESS SHE WANTED US TO KNOW SHE WAS THERE.
Wilhoit: THE WILLIAM HEATH DAVIS HOUSE IS FILLED WITH SUPERNATURAL ACTIVITY.
Strickland: THE HOUSE IS HAUNTED.
Wilhoit: MY GHOST STORY BEGAN WHEN I BECAME A DOCENT A THE WILLIAM HEATH DAVIS HOUSE.
I DO TOURS DRESSED IN 1850s GARB, AND THE PEOPLE JUST LOVE THE TOUR, EVEN THOUGH WE HAVE SOME VERY, VERY DISQUIETING THINGS HAPPEN IN THAT HOUSE.
IT'S A HOUSE, FIRST OF ALL.
IT'S SO OLD, AND IT HAS SUCH A STORIED HISTORY.
IT WAS ACTUALLY BUILT IN MAINE, DECONSTRUCTED, BROUGHT AROUND WITH EIGHT OTHERS ON A SHIP, AND THEN RECONSTRUCTED IN DOWNTOWN SAN DIEGO.
THE WILLIAM HEATH DAVIS HOUSE IS FILLED WITH SUPERNATURAL ACTIVITY.
THERE WAS A TIME IN THAT HOUSE'S HISTORY WHEN IT BECAME A COUNTY HOSPITAL.
WE HAVE A ROOM SET UP LIKE A HOSPITAL ROOM WITH SOME OF THE ORIGINAL BEDS AND LINENS AND THINGS.
THERE WAS A LOT OF TUBERCULOSIS CASES.
SAILORS WOULD CATCH THA AND A LOT OF SOCIAL DISEASES.
THAT ROOM IS SO DEPRESSING.
PEOPLE GO IN THERE, AND THEY JUST KIND OF LEAVE.
THE MOST PROFOUND THING THAT HAPPENED TO ME, THOUGH, HAPPENED JUST RECENTLY.
I WAS GIVING A TOUR TO A COUPLE, AND I WAS JUST ABOUT READY TO STEP INTO THE PARLOR WHEN I FELT AS IF SOMEBODY JUST WENT -- AND PUT THEIR HANDS ON MY SHOULDERS.
AND AT THE SAME TIME, I FELT THE MOST INCREDIBLY PROFOUND COLD JUST, LIKE, WALK RIGHT STRAIGHT THROUGH ME, AND IT WAS JUST LIKE IT TOOK MY BREATH AWAY.
THE PEOPLE BEHIND ME DIDN'T NOTICE A THING.
SO I KIND OF GOT MY BREATH BACK AND CONTINUED ON WITH THE TOUR.
I MET NICOLE BECAUSE I FOUND OU SHE WAS ALSO INTERESTED IN THE SUPERNATURAL ACTIVITY HAPPENING AT THE HOUSE.
Strickland: A COUPLE OF GOOD FRIENDS AND I WENT TO THE WILLIAM HEATH DAVIS HOUSE.
I DO HAVE SOME EMPATHIC ABILITY, SO WHEN I FIRST ENTERED THROUGH THE FRONT DOOR, I IMMEDIATELY GOT A MENTAL IMPRESSION OF A YOUNG GIRL ABOUT 9 OR 10, PERHAPS 11 YEARS OLD.
I CLEARLY REMEMBER THICK, BROWN HAIR, SLIGHTLY WAVY, BIG BROWN EYES, AND THEN I HAPPENED TO GLANCE AT THIS PHOTO AT THE BASE OF THE STAIRCASE.
IT WAS A BLACK-AND-WHITE PHOTO OF A GIRL AROUND 9, 10, OR 11 YEARS OLD.
I WAS COVERED IN GOOSE BUMPS BECAUSE THE MENTAL IMAGE I GOT OF THE GIRL MATCHED THAT OF THE PHOTO, AND I HAD NO IDEA THAT THIS PHOTO EXISTED UNTIL I SAW IT.
SO I FOUND OU THAT'S LILY DAVIS, MR.
WILLIAM HEATH DAVIS' DAUGHTER.
LATER THAT EVENING, JERRY AND MARIA AND I WERE ALL IN THE PARLOR.
Jerry: IS THERE ANYBODY HERE WITH US WHO WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK TO US? Strickland: AT ONE POINT, WE MADE CONTAC WITH THE GHOST OF A LITTLE GIRL.
Jerry: LITTLE GIRL.
YOU WANT TO COME IN HERE AND SI AND TALK WITH US FOR A WHILE? Strickland: I FIND IT HIGHLY COINCIDENTAL THAT I HAD THIS MENTAL IMAGE OF A GIRL AND THEN WE GE THIS SPIRIT VOICE OF A YOUNG CHILD INTRODUCING HERSELF AS LILY ANN.
AND AT ANOTHER POINT, MARIA CAPTURED A VOICE -- CLEARLY A LITTLE GIRL SAYING, "WHERE'S MY MOMMY?" AS MUCH AS I'M EXCITED TO GE THAT QUALITY OF EVIDENCE, I ALWAYS FEEL SAD, IN A WAY.
ESPECIALLY WITH CAPTURING VOICES OF SMALL CHILDREN, I ALWAYS WORRY THAT MAYBE THEY'RE STUCK IN THIS PLANE AND THEY HAVEN'T MOVED ON TO WHERE THEY NEED TO GO.
IN MY HEART, I WANT THEM TO FEEL THAT THEY'RE AT PEACE.
SO, THE NIGHT WENT ON, AND I HAD A VIDEO CAMERA POINTING UPSTAIRS.
THE DOOR ON THE RIGH LEADS TO THE CHILDRENS' ROOM.
[ DOOR CREAKS .]
THE DOOR OPENED UP BY ITSELF.
[ DOOR CREAKS .]
YOU CAN CLEARLY TELL THAT THERE'S SOME FORCE THAT POPS THE DOOR OPEN.
Wilhoit: WHEN I SAW THE VIDEO OF THE DOOR OPEN, I THOUGHT, "SHE MUST BE A STRONG LITTLE GIRL TO BE ABLE TO OPEN THAT DOOR," BUT I GUESS SHE WANTED US TO KNOW SHE WAS THERE, SO SHE SHOWED US.
Strickland: WE EXAMINED THE DOOR.
THERE WERE NO AIR CONDITIONING VENTS, NO OPEN WINDOWS, NOTHING THAT COULD EXPLAIN THIS DOOR OPENING.
IT WAS DEFINITELY SPOOKY.
Wilhoit: THE LITTLE GIRL SAYING, "WHERE'S MY MOMMY?" TO ME, IS ABSOLUTE PROOF THAT THERE ARE SPIRITS IN THAT HOUSE.
I MEAN, I DON'T SEE HOW YOU CAN GO IN THAT HOUSE AND NOT KNOW IT.
AND THEN SEEING THE DOOR OPEN, THAT SORT OF SEALS THE DEAL FOR ME.
Strickland: WE DID NOT EXPECT TO CAPTURE ANYTHING OF THIS MAGNITUDE.
IN FACT, IT'S VERY RARE TO CAPTURE SOMETHING VERY AUTHENTIC ON VIDEO OR ON TAPE, SO WE WERE VERY IMPRESSED BY WHAT WE CAUGHT.
THE HOUSE IS HAUNTED.
SOMETHING THAT WASN'T THERE.
Peterson: THE SPIRITS DID NOT WANT US IN THEIR AREA.
Strickland: THERE'S SOME FORCE THAT POPS THE DOOR OPEN.
Wilhoit: SHE WANTED US TO KNOW SHE WAS THERE.
McWethy: SEE A SHADOW START BEHIND THE DOOR AND JUST FALLS THROUGH THE FLOOR.
Hensley: I FELT SOMETHING ON MY BACK, AND IT'S REALLY STARTING TO BURN.
I KNEW WE HAD TO GET OU OF THE BUILDING.
Morrison: THIS PURPLE MIST, IT ACTUALLY CAST A SHADOW ON THE WALL.
THERE WAS NO WORDS TO DESCRIBE IT.
Justin: IN THE GRAVEYARD, YOU'LL SEE BRIGHT-ORANGE EYES GLOWING.
James: IT'S TARGETING YOU.
IT SAID YOUR NAME.
YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT CAN HAPPEN.
IT SCARED ME [BLEEP.]
LESS.
Justin: WE WENT TO THE GRAVEYARD BECAUSE WE HEARD IT WAS HAUNTED.
IT'S NOT AN ANIMAL.
IT'S NOT A PERSON.
WHAT COULD IT BE? MY GHOST STORY BEGAN WHEN I FIRST SET FOO IN PIERCE CEMETERY.
WHEN YOU STEP INSIDE, IT'S JUS A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT FEELING.
IT LITERALLY FEELS LIKE IT DROPS 20°, 30° INSIDE.
YOU GO FROM BEING OUTSIDE TO, YOU KNOW, SHORTS AND A T-SHIR TO WALKING INSIDE AND NEEDING TO PUT A JACKET ON.
THERE'S A MIST ABOUT IT, AS WELL.
IT'S JUST -- IT'S FOGGY INSIDE.
YOU JUST GE A CREEPY, SAD FEELING.
James: THE CEMETERY IS ALONG SOMETHING CALLED "THE DEATH TRAIL," WHICH NATIVE AMERICAN MARCHED TO THE BATTLE AND TIPPECANOE IN 1811, AND WE BELIEVE THAT SOME OF THE EARLIER SKIRMISHES OF THE WAR COULD HAVE HAPPENED VERY WELL IN THE CEMETERY GROUNDS.
BEFORE GOING OUT TO HELL'S HOLE, JUSTIN DID NO BELIEVE IN GHOSTS AT ALL.
Justin: ME AND SOME FRIENDS WENT TO THE GRAVEYARD BECAUSE WE HEARD IT WAS HAUNTED, BUT WE HAD NO IDEA WHAT WE WERE IN FOR.
WE WENT TO DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE CEMETERY.
AT FIRST, IT WAS KIND OF DEAD.
THERE WASN'T MUCH GOING ON.
THEN WE WENT TO AN AREA WE CALL "HELL'S HOLE.
" THAT'S WHEN ACTIVITY STARTS PICKING UP.
WE TOOK SOME PICTURES.
WE GOT SOME ORBS.
WHEN I FIRST SEEN THE PICTURE OF THE RED ORB, IT REALLY MADE ME START TO THINK WHAT COULD BE AT PIERCE.
COULD IT BE SOMETHING NEGATIVE? THE COLOR RED IS TYPICALLY ASSOCIATED WITH A NEGATIVE ENTITY.
ONE OF THE BIGGEST CLAIMS AT PIERCE IS THE EYES.
YOU CAN BE WALKING AROUND, AND YOU'LL SEE BRIGHT-ORANGE EYES GLOWING.
THE PICTURE EVIDENCE OF THE EYES WAS RIGHT NEAR HELL'S HOLE.
IT'S NOT AN ANIMAL, CLEARLY.
THEY'RE BRIGHT.
THEY'RE ORANGE.
IT'S NOT A PERSON.
WHAT COULD IT BE? WHEN I FIRST SEEN THE GLOWING EYES, IT GOT MY ATTENTION, ABSOLUTELY.
I APPROACHED WHAT WE CALL "HELL'S HOLE," WHICH IS A TREE.
AND I HAVE A RECORDER, AND I SET IT DOWN IN BRANCHES THAT KIND OF CREATE AN "X.
" IT FIT PERFECTLY, AND I START ASKING QUESTIONS.
YOU KNOW, I SAID, "I WANT TO SPEAK TO THE PERSON THAT'S FROM HELL.
" AND I START GETTING KIND OF PROVOCATIVE WITH IT.
THEN I FIGURED, "WELL, I WANT TO SEE SOMETHING.
" SO I SAY, "IF YOU CAN KNOCK THIS RECORDER DOWN, I'LL LEAVE THIS PLACE.
" ON COMMAND, IT FLIES OFF THE TREE AT ME.
WE REVIEWED IT.
IT'S ACTUALLY HIT FROM THE TOP.
IT FLIES ABOUT A GOOD TWO, THREE FEET.
OBVIOUSLY, IF IT WAS WIND OR MAYBE SHIFTING OF THE TREE OR SOMETHING, IT JUST WOULD HAVE FELL STRAIGHT DOWN.
THIS WAS THROWN FROM THE TOP OF THE TREE.
James: HE CAME OVER AND HE GOES, "YOU WON'T BELIEVE WHAT I [BLEEP.]
CAUGHT.
"YOU WON'T BELIEVE THIS.
YOU WON'T BELIEVE THIS.
IT SCARED ME [BLEEP.]
LESS.
" Justin: YOU CAN SEE ORBS.
YOU CAN SEE LIGHTS.
THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS THAT CAN HAPPEN -- EVEN EVPs.
YOU CAN HAVE EXPLANATIONS FOR THOSE ALL DAY LONG, BUT WHEN IT REALLY COMES DOWN TO STANDING THERE, HAVING ONE PERSON BEHIND YOU WITH A CAMERA, KNOWING THERE'S NOBODY THERE IN FRONT OF YOU, AND SEEING THAT RECORDER THROWN OFF ON COMMAND, YOU CAN'T ASK FOR ANY MORE EVIDENCE THAN THAT.
SPIRITS ARE KNOWN TO TAKE ENERGY FROM ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT, TO ACTUALLY MANIFEST THEMSELVES EITHER PHYSICALLY OR TO TOUCH YOU OR TO KNOCK THINGS OVER, IN THIS CASE.
James: WHEN I SAW THE EVIDENCE ON THE RECORDING -- KNOCKING ON A TREE -- I WANTED TO LEAVE.
I DIDN'T FEEL SAFE BEING THERE.
IT CHILLED MY BONES.
Justin: RIGHT AFTER THE RECORDER FLEW OFF THE TREE, WE WALKED DOWN A LITTLE BIT, MAYBE 30 YARDS, TO WHAT WE CALL "FATHER SMITH'S GRAVE.
" SO, I'M ASKING QUESTIONS.
I'M ASKING FOR SOMETHING TO GIVE US A SIGN THAT IT'S THERE.
AND THEN MY KEYS START GOING OFF.
[ KEYS BEEPING .]
HOLY [BLEEP.]
JUST FOR THE RECORD, THEY ONLY DO THA WHEN YOU PRESS THE MIDDLE BUTTON TO AUTO-START MY CAR.
I HAD MY REMOTE STAR IN MY POCKET, AND THE WAY REMOTE START WORKS ON MY CAR IS YOU HAVE TO HOLD THE BUTTON DOWN.
IF YOU HOLD IT DOWN FOR A COUPLE SECONDS, IT GETS CONNECTION TO MY CAR AND STARTS MY CAR.
SO, I PULL THE KEYS OUT.
I'M HOLDING THEM FLAT IN MY HAND.
I'M ASKING QUESTIONS, AND I'M LIKE, "IF THAT WAS YOU, CAN YOU DO IT AGAIN?" WHATEVER WAS OUT THERE WITH US HELD THE BUTTON DOWN LONG ENOUGH THAT IT ACTUALLY SENDS THE SIGNAL TO MY CAR TO START IT.
[ ENGINE TURNS OVER .]
THAT'S MY CAR.
James: IT JUST STARTED YOUR CAR.
Justin: IT JUST STARTED MY CAR.
THERE'S A DEFINITE ORB LESS THAN TWO FEET AWAY FROM MY KEYS THAT WERE JUST PRESSED.
FROM NEVER EXPERIENCING ANYTHING LIKE THAT BEFORE TO HAVING ALL THESE THINGS HAPPEN AT THE SAME TIME, IT WAS TERRIFYING.
James: SO, AT THAT POINT, I WAS GETTING A LITTLE WORRIED ABOUT JUSTIN.
I TOLD HIM, "BE SAFE.
YOU KNOW, PROTECT YOURSELF.
"MAKE SURE YOU'RE NO OPENING YOURSELF UP TO SOMETHING THAT COULD HARM YOU.
" JUSTIN WAS DOING A RECORDING SESSION, AND HE HEARD THE ENTITY SAY HIS NAME.
"WOW.
IT'S TARGETING YOU.
IT SAID YOUR NAME.
"YOU NEED TO BE REALLY CAREFUL.
OTHERWISE, YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT COULD HAPPEN.
" WHEN WE LEFT THE CEMETERY, I TOLD JUSTIN IT WAS VERY CLEAR THAT HE NEEDED TO PROTEC HIMSELF AND SAY A PRAYER SO NOTHING WOULD FOLLOW HIM HOME.
Justin: THAT NIGHT, I WAS OBVIOUSLY EXCITED FOR ALL THE STUFF THAT HAPPENED.
I WENT STRAIGHT HOME AND FORGOT TO SAY THE PRAYER.
I WAS REALLY DOWN THE NEXT DAY, YOU KNOW, JUST WASN'T FEELING MYSELF.
IT EVEN GOT TO THE POIN WHERE I STARTED TO DRIVE TO PIERCE CEMETERY BY MYSELF WITHOUT TELLING ANYBODY WHERE I WAS GOING.
I GOT TO MY CAR, OPENED MY DOOR, AND REALIZED, "WHAT AM I DOING?" SO, I GO BACK INSIDE, BUT I'M HEARING THINGS THROUGHOUT MY HOUSE.
I'M HEARING SOUNDS LIKE SOMEBODY'S WALKING AROUND DOWNSTAIRS.
I FINALLY HAD THE IDEA TO TAKE THE RECORDER THAT I HAD FROM THE NIGHT BEFORE AND LEAVE I SITTING ON THE TABLE AND LEAVE.
I TAKE MY DOG WITH ME.
I'M GONE FOR 15, 20 MINUTES.
THEN WE WENT BACK TO CHECK ON THE RECORDER.
MAYBE 30 SECONDS AFTER HEARING MY CAR DRIVE AWAY, YOU CAN LITERALLY HEAR SOMEBODY OPEN MY BEDROOM DOOR WALK UP MY STAIRS GO THROUGH THE KITCHEN, OPEN CABINETS, OPEN DOORS GO BACK DOWNSTAIRS.
I KNEW THERE WAS NOBODY HERE.
I LOCKED THE DOOR BEHIND ME.
THERE WAS NOBODY THERE.
THERE'S NO WAY THESE NOISES SHOULD HAVE BEEN HAPPENING.
James: I TOLD HIM, "YOU NEED TO STAY A PRAYER, 'CAUSE OBVIOUSLY SOMETHING FOLLOWED YOU HOME FROM THE CEMETERY.
" SO HE SAID HIS PRAYER, YOU KNOW, AND EVERYTHING WAS CALM.
Justin: AND THEN I WOKE UP THE NEXT DAY, AND IT JUST SEEMED LIKE EVERYTHING WAS BACK TO NORMAL.
I FELT NORMAL.
I DIDN'T FEEL SAD AND DOWN AND DEPRESSED.
I WASN'T HEARING THINGS ANYMORE.
IF YOU'RE GOING OUT AND YOU'RE LOOKING FOR THESE THINGS, YOU NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING, YOU'RE WITH PEOPLE THAT HAVE DONE THIS BEFORE, AND YOU'RE NO GETTING INTO SOMETHING THAT YOU CAN' GET YOURSELF OUT OF.
James: THIS IS THE MOST FRIGHTENING THING I'VE EVER ENCOUNTERED IN MY LIFE.
MY WORST FEAR IS FOR ME OR ONE OF MY FRIENDS TO GET POSSESSED AND NOT BE ABLE TO DEAL WITH I AND NOT BE ABLE TO HELP THEM.
Justin: IF YOU ASK ME IF I BELIEVE IN GHOSTS, I'LL TELL YOU I'M NOT SURE, BUT THE INCIDENCE AT HELL'S HOLE WAS ONE OF THE MOST SCARIES EXPERIENCES I'VE EVER BEEN THROUGH, AND IT MAKES ME CHANGE HOW I THINK, HOW I VIEW EVERYTHING NOW.
McWethy: YOU KNOW AS SOON AS YOU GO IN THERE, SOMETHING'S GONNA HAPPEN.
Hensley: I KNEW WE HAD TO GET OUT OF THE BUILDING.
McWethy: ALL OF A SUDDEN, I FELT A PRESSURE ON MY CHEST.
Hensley: IT WAS THE SCARIEST THING THAT I'VE EVER EXPERIENCED.
MY GHOST STORY BEGAN WHEN I FIRST STEPPED FOOT IN THE POASTTOWN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL.
McWethy: BEFORE I WEN TO POASTTOWN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, I'VE ALWAYS BEEN SKEPTICAL ABOU THERE BEING SOMETHING OUT THERE.
I ALWAYS HAD A CURIOSITY ABOUT IT, JUST NEVER HAD ANYTHING HAPPEN TO ME BEFORE.
Hensley: WE WENT TO THE SCHOOL 'CAUSE WE HEARD IT WAS HAUNTED.
WE HAD NO IDEA WHAT WAS GONNA HAPPEN TO US ONCE WE GOT THERE.
[ TRAIN WHISTLE BLOWS .]
McWethy: BEFORE THE SCHOOL WAS EVEN ON THE LAND, TWO TRAINS COLLIDED ABOUT A MILE DOWN THE ROAD.
19 PEOPLE DIED IN THE TRAIN ACCIDENT.
THEY USED THE FIELDS AS A MAKESHIFT TRIAGE, JUST FOR PEOPLE WHO WERE HURT, AND ALSO A PLACE JUST TO KIND OF KEEP THE BODIES.
Hensley: THERE WASN'T A LOCAL HOSPITAL, SO THESE PEOPLE HAD TO ACTUALLY LAY IN THIS FIELD AND SUFFER.
AND ALL THAT ENERGY IS STILL THERE.
McWethy: THE SCHOOL ACTUALLY OPENED IN 1935.
THERE'S STORIES OF A COUPLE OF KIDS WHO HAD BEEN HIT BY CARS OUT IN FRONT OF THE SCHOOL.
THERE WAS A STORY OF A GIRL WHO WAS ON THE THIRD FLOOR, AND SHE WAS PLAYING AROUND ONE OF THE BANISTERS AND FELL OVER THE BANISTER, ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE VERY BOTTOM.
SHE DIED INSTANTLY.
Hensley: WHEN WE GOT TO THE SCHOOL, THE FEELING WAS PRETTY INTENSE.
McWethy: WE PULLED UP TO THE BUILDING.
IT'S THREE STORIES.
IT'S GOT THESE PILLARS IN THE FRONT -- LOOKS REALLY, REALLY CREEPY.
THE WINDOWS WERE BROKEN, PAINT'S CRACKING.
Hensley: IT JUST HAS THIS REALLY EERIE VIBE TO IT.
McWethy: YOU KNOW AS SOON AS YOU GO IN THERE, SOMETHING'S GONNA HAPPEN.
THERE'S GONNA BE SOMETHING MESSING WITH YOU.
I DEFINITELY FEL THAT THERE WAS SOMETHING THAT WAS EITHER WATCHING US OR WAS WAITING FOR US.
Hensley: I ACTUALLY LOOKED AT NICK AND SAID, "DUDE, I FEEL LIKE I WANT TO RUN.
I WANT TO GET OUT OF HERE.
" Prudhomme: WE STARTED TO GE SOME UNUSUAL HAPPENINGS.
Morrison: IT ACTUALLY CAST A SHADOW ON THE WALL.
THERE WAS NO WORDS TO DESCRIBE IT.
Prudhomme: I DON'T THINK IT TAKES MUCH TO REALIZE THAT SOMETHING WAS THERE.
McWethy: YOU KNOW AS SOON AS YOU GO IN THERE SOMETHING'S GONNA HAPPEN.
I DEFINITELY FEL THAT THERE WAS SOMETHING EITHER WATCHING US OR WAS WAITING FOR US.
Hensley: I ACTUALLY LOOKED AT NICK AND SAID, "DUDE, I FEEL LIKE I WANT TO RUN.
I WANT TO GET OUT OF HERE.
" McWethy: WHEN WE WERE ON THE SECOND FLOOR, WE WERE HEARING BANGS ON DOORS.
YOU'D HEAR DOORS CLOSING.
IT WAS REALLY, REALLY WEIRD.
Hensley: HEARING THE SPIRITS MAKE ALL THAT NOISE, IT FREAKED ME OUT.
McWethy: ALL OF A SUDDEN, WE HEARD WHAT SOUNDED LIKE DESKS BEING DRUG ACROSS THE GROUND, ALMOST LIKE A TEACHER WAS GETTING THINGS TOGETHER FOR THE NEXT CLASS.
AND THEN WE HEARD A BANG.
BRIAN WAS LIKE, "WHEN I COUNT TO THREE, I WANT YOU TO LET US KNOW IF YOU DON'T WANT US UP HERE ANYMORE.
" SO HE SAID, "ONE, TWO, THREE," AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN, I FELT A PRESSURE ON MY CHES LIKE SOMEONE WAS HOLDING ME UP AGAINST THE WALL.
Hensley: I'M LOOKING AT NICK, AND I CAN TELL SOMETHING'S NOT RIGHT.
HEY.
ARE YOU ALL RIGHT? NICK? HE DIDN'T ANSWER ME.
McWethy: I HEARD WHAT HE SAID, BUT I REALLY COULDN'T RESPOND, AND THAT FREAKED ME OU EVEN MORE.
Hensley: I WAS ACTUALLY PRETTY TERRIFIED.
I'VE NEVER SEEN A POSSESSION, BUT I BELIEVE IT CAN HAPPEN, AND I'LL BE HONEST WITH YOU, AT THAT POINT, I THOUGHT MY FRIEND WAS BEING POSSESSED AND I WAS WORRIED FOR HIM.
YOU ALL RIGHT? McWethy: YEAH.
YEAH.
I'M GOOD.
Hensley: WHEN NICK WAS EXPERIENCING THAT PRESSURE ON HIS CHEST, WE CAPTURED AN ORB.
IT'S BLUE IN COLOR, SOLID.
IT SEEMS LIKE IT MAY HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF MOVEMENT TO IT.
IT'S ALMOST LIKE YOU CAN SEE A LITTLE TRAIL OR A LITTLE TRACER BEHIND IT.
BUT IT WAS HOLDING NICK AGAINST THE WALL.
McWethy: RIGHT HERE.
Hensley: SURE.
McWethy: WE WERE TRYING TO COMMUNICATE WITH WHATEVER SPIRIT WAS THERE, AND WE HAD A LITTLE VIDEO RECORDER.
WE DECIDED JUST TO PUT IT ON THE GROUND.
WE WOULD ASK IF THEY COULD MAKE A NOISE FOR US.
WE'D HEAR A KNOCK ON THE WALL.
[ THUD .]
WE WANTED TO HEAR THE BANGS THAT WE HAD CAUGHT ON COMMAND, SO WE STARTED WATCHING IT, AND ALL OF A SUDDEN, BRIAN'S LIKE, "DID YOU SEE THAT?" "NO.
" "WATCH IT AGAIN.
" SUDDENLY, YOU SEE A SHADOW START BEHIND THE DOOR, KIND OF CROSSES THE DOOR, TURNS TOWARDS US, AND JUST FALLS THROUGH THE FLOOR.
IT'S ALMOST LIKE IT SAW THAT WE WERE THERE.
Hensley: WE TRIED AND TRIED AND TRIED TO FIGURE OU WHERE THAT CAME FROM, AND THERE'S NO EXPLANATION.
YOU CAN TELL BY THE SIZE OF THE SHADOW THAT IT'S MOST LIKELY AN ADULT.
McWethy: THE SHADOW THAT WE CAUGH SEEMED LIKE IT MAY HAVE BEEN A SPIRI KIND OF KEEPING AN EYE ON US.
IT REALLY KIND OF FREAKED ME OU THAT IT WAS THERE, AND I HAD NO IDEA THAT IT WAS.
Hensley: AFTER THAT, WE WENT TO THE BASEMENT.
McWethy: AND IT'S SO DARK.
YOU CAN PUT YOUR HAND IN FRONT OF YOUR FACE AND NOT EVEN SEE IT.
IT'S GOT A REAL, REAL CREEPY FEELING TO IT.
Hensley: I GOT GOOSE BUMPS.
KNOWING THAT A LITTLE GIRL HAD FALLEN DOWN THE STAIRS RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER REALLY CREEPED US OUT.
THE ENERGY IS HIGH IN THAT ROOM.
YOU CAN'T HELP BUT FEEL IT.
McWethy: WE WERE DOING THE SESSION, TRYING TO COMMUNICATE WITH WHATEVER WAS DOWN THERE.
Hensley: AND THERE WAS A WORD THAT COME ACROSS -- "HATE.
" JUST ONE OF YOU SPEAK AT A TIME.
IT CAUGHT ME OFF GUARD.
I SAID, "HATE?" WHAT IS IT THAT YOU HATE? RIGHT AWAY, AS SOON AS I ASKED THAT, "YOU.
" McWethy: AND ALL OF A SUDDEN, BRIAN PULLS ON ME.
Hensley: I FELT SOMETHING ON MY BACK, LIKE I GOT HIT WITH SOMETHING.
McWethy: HE PULLED UP HIS SHIRT, AND HE HAD WHAT LOOKED LIKE A WHIP MARK ON THE BACK OF HIM.
THAT'S CRAZY.
Hensley: AND HE INSTANTLY SAID, "THERE'S A MARK ON YOUR BACK.
IT'S GETTING BIGGER.
IT'S WELTING UP.
" McWethy: I HAD NEVER, EVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THA IN MY ENTIRE LIFE, ESPECIALLY WITH IT ACTUALLY DEVELOPING IN FRONT OF US.
Hensley: AND AT THIS POINT, I'M REALLY STARTING TO GET CONCERNED 'CAUSE IT'S REALLY STARTING TO BURN.
ALL I COULD THINK ABOU WAS MY WIFE, MY KIDS.
AND I'M THINKING, "WHAT'S NEXT? AM I GONNA START BLEEDING?" McWethy: IT REALLY WORRIED ME FOR HIS SAFETY.
Hensley: I WAS COMPLETELY BESIDE MYSELF.
I HAD NO IDEA WHAT WAS HAPPENING.
I KNEW WE HAD TO GET OUT OF THE BUILDING.
McWethy: THIS EXPERIENCE HAS DEFINITELY CHANGED MY VIEW ON THE AFTERLIFE.
WE'VE CAUGHT SPIRITS WHO HAVE BEEN IN THE SCHOOL, ALL THE LOUD BANGING ON THE DOORS, DOORS CLOSING, HAVING THAT PRESSURE ON MY CHEST, SEEING A FRIEND OF MINE GET SCRATCHED DEFINITELY LET ME KNOW THAT THERE'S SOMETHING ELSE OUT THERE.
Hensley: GETTING SCRATCHED BY THE SPIRI AT THE POASTTOWN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL IS BY FAR THE SCARIEST THING THAT I'VE EVER EXPERIENCED.
NOW WE HAVE REAL, PHYSICAL PROOF THAT GHOSTS DO EXIST.
Morrison: THERE WAS NO WORDS TO DESCRIBE IT.
Prudhomme: I WANTED TO SCREAM AND RUN OUT OF THE BUILDING.
IT'S A SPIRIT.
MY GHOST STORY BEGAN WHEN MY HUSBAND, DAVID, AND I PURCHASED THE RISING SUN HOTEL AND STARTED TO RENOVATE.
THE BUILDING ITSELF IS INTERESTING.
IT'S GOT A CASTLE TURRE THAT COMES UP WITH A POINT ON THE PEAK.
IT'S A HOTEL BUILT IN THE EARLY 1850s, AND WE'VE GOT 11 ROOMS ABOVE, AND DOWNSTAIRS WE HAVE THE RESTAURANT.
ONCE WE STARTED REALLY RENOVATING AND MIXING THINGS UP A LITTLE BIT, WE STARTED TO GE SOME UNUSUAL HAPPENINGS THAT WERE PRETTY SURPRISING.
THE FIRST THING I NOTICED HAPPEN, THERE'S A GRILL BLOCK THAT LOOKS KIND OF LIKE A BRICK, AND WE HAD JUST FINISHED CLEANING THE GRILL, SET IT DOWN, WENT INTO THE OTHER PART OF THE KITCHEN, AND WE HEARD THIS BAM.
AND WE RAN INTO THE OTHER PART OF THE KITCHEN, AND IT WAS THE FREAKIEST THING BECAUSE THIS THING PICKED UP, FLEW INTO A STAINLESS STEEL REFRIGERATOR AND DENTED IT, AND HERE IT WAS LAYING ON THE FLOOR IN FRONT OF THE REFRIGERATOR.
AND WE ALL LOOKED AT EACH OTHER, I MEAN, DUMBFOUNDED.
THERE'S NOT A WIND.
THERE'S NOT A FAN.
THIS THING JUST FLEW.
THE DENT IS STILL THERE.
THAT'S ONE OF OUR PIECES OF EVIDENCE THAT'S NEVER GONNA GO AWAY.
AT THAT POINT, I KNEW THERE WAS SOMETHING SUPERNATURAL DEFINITELY GOING ON IN THE BUILDING, AND I KIND OF HAD A FUNNY FEELING THAT WAS JUST THE BEGINNING.
A COUPLE OF DAYS LATER, MY HUSBAND WAS IN THE BAR.
ACTUALLY, THE TWO OF US WERE THE ONLY ONES IN THE BUILDING.
MY HUSBAND HAD A LITTLE ROO BEER IN A SMALL PILSNER GLASS.
HE HAD FINISHED IT, LEFT I ON THE BAR RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE, AND WE GO BACK INTO THE KITCHEN AND WE'RE PREPPING FOR DINNER AND WE'RE CHOPPING, DICING, AND WE HEAR THIS CRASH.
AND WE BOTH LOOKED AT EACH OTHER, AND WE RAN THROUGH THE SWINGING DOOR, CAME DOWN THROUGH THE DINING ROOM, AND SOMEHOW THAT GLASS HAD FLOWN ABOUT FIVE FEET OVER AND WAS SHATTERED ALL OVER THE STONE FLOOR.
THERE WAS NO WAY TO EXPLAIN A GLASS FLYING FIVE FEE THROUGH THE AIR AND CRASHING.
WE KIND OF LOOKED AT EACH OTHER AND SAID, "HERE WE GO AGAIN.
SOMETHING ELSE.
" ANOTHER INTERESTING THING THAT HAPPENED -- I WAS SITTING AT THE BAR AND I WAS WRITING THE NEW MENU DOWN, AND I HAD THE DOOR PROPPED OPEN.
AND SOMETIMES YOU GET A FEELING LIKE SOMEBODY'S LOOKING AT YOU.
AND, YOU KNOW, I KIND OF LOOKED OVER TOWARDS THE HALL AND THOUGHT I SAW SOMETHING, DID A DOUBLE TAKE, AND HERE WAS THIS HUGE, DARK OUTLINE OF A MAN, AND HE DEFINITELY WAS LOOKING AT ME 'CAUSE HE KIND OF HAD HIS HEAD COCKED, LOOKING AROUND THE CORNER.
I JUMPED UP, AND I DID RUN TOWARDS HIM, AND HE JUST -- JUST LIKE SLOW MOTION, JUST STARTED WALKING DOWN THE HALLWAY, AND THEN -- AS SOON AS I GOT IN THE HALLWAY, YOU KNOW, HE WAS GONE.
THINGS LIKE THA NEVER HAPPENED TO ME BEFORE, AND I WANTED TO SCREAM AND RUN OUT OF THE BUILDING.
I WAS FEARFUL BECAUSE IT WAS THERE AND IT WAS A SHOCK TO SEE SOMEONE LOOKING AT ME, BUT NOT REALLY A HUMAN.
Peterson: I FELT AN ENERGY STANDING RIGHT ON ME.
I LOOKED AT ART AND I SAID, "WE HAVE TO GET OUT OF HERE NOW.
" White: IT MAKES YOU REALIZE THA YOU'RE NOT IN THE CAVE ALONE.
Peterson: WE DID ACTUALLY CAPTURE A SPIRIT.
Prudhomme: THERE WAS THIS HUGE, DARK OUTLINE OF A MAN, AND AS SOON AS I GOT IN THE HALLWAY, YOU KNOW, HE WAS GONE.
I WAS FEARFUL BECAUSE IT WAS A SHOCK TO SEE SOMEONE LOOKING AT ME, BUT NOT REALLY A HUMAN.
KEITH MORRISON IS A PARANORMAL INVESTIGATOR WITH CPS PARANORMAL AND ACTUALLY CALLED US UP AND ASKED IF THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO COME AND INVESTIGATE IN OUR BUILDING.
AND WE SAID, "BRING IT ON.
" Morrison: WHEN WE FIRST HEARD ABOUT THE CAJUN KITCHEN, THERE WAS ACTUALLY A LITTLE SEGMENT IN A BOOK ABOUT IT.
AFTER I HAD SAT DOWN AND TALKED WITH SHARON AND FOUND OUT EVERYTHING THAT WAS HAPPENING THERE, IT JUST SEEMED LIKE IT WAS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE.
Prudhomme: I WAS PRETTY CONFIDEN THAT HE WOULD FIND SOMETHING, IF NOT A LOT OF THINGS.
Morrison: ONE OF THE LOCATIONS THAT SHARON HAD MENTIONED WAS ON THE STAIRWELL THAT GOES UP THROUGH THE RISING SUN HOTEL.
SUPPOSEDLY, A WOMAN'S APPARITION WAS SEEN ON THE STAIRWELL, WALKING DOWN THE STAIRWELL, AND IN THROUGH THE RESTAURAN ON SEVERAL DIFFERENT OCCASIONS.
SO A CAMERA WAS SET UP ON THE STAIRWELL.
WENT UP ONTO THE STAIRWELL, AND I STARTED DOING AN EVP SESSION.
AS I ASKED THE QUESTION, "IS THERE ANYBODY HERE WITH ME?" A VOICE BROKE THE AIR RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME AND ACTUALLY THREW ME BACK FOR A SECOND, AND IT SAID "IT'S ME.
I'M WAITING.
" AND IT HAPPENED TO BE A FEMALE VOICE.
Prudhomme: WHEN KEITH PLAYED BACK THE EVP AND I HEARD "IT'S ME.
I'M WAITING," THAT WAS AMAZING.
I COULD NOT BELIEVE I BECAUSE WE SEE THINGS FLY, BUT WE NEVER HEARD VOICES.
AND TO BE ABLE TO HEAR A VOICE, THAT WAS THE FREAKIEST THING.
Morrison: IT WAS ASTONISHING JUST TO HEAR SOMETHING THAT LOUD AND KNOW THERE IS NO OTHER FEMALE IN THIS BUILDING.
Prudhomme: IT'S A SPIRIT.
Morrison: ANOTHER EVP THAT WE CAUGHT THAT NIGH HAPPENED TO BE "KLAUS," AND IT WAS VERY LOUD, IT WAS VERY DISTINCT, AND IT ALSO HAS A GERMAN ACCENT TO IT.
Prudhomme: PETER KLAUS, WHO WAS THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THE OLD RISING SUN HOTEL.
AND WHEN I HEARD THAT VOICE WITH THE GERMAN ACCENT AND HE SAID, "KLAUS," AND IT WAS PRONOUNCED AND IT WAS DISTINCT THAT WAS, IN ITSELF, STUNNING.
Morrison: AT ONE TIME DURING THE NIGHT, THERE WAS A CAMERA POINTED TOWARD MIKE.
HE WAS FEELING HEAVINESS AROUND HIM AND HE THOUGH THERE MIGHT BE SOMETHING THERE.
PICTURES WERE THEN TAKEN.
[ CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS .]
I'M GETTING A SHADOW ABOVE YOU.
THREE ACTUALLY HAD A PURPLE MIST THAT MOVED, AND THE MOST INTRIGUING THING ABOUT THIS PURPLE MIS IS ACTUALLY CAST A SHADOW ON THE WALL.
THERE WAS NO WORDS TO DESCRIBE IT.
Prudhomme: WHEN KEITH HAD SHOWN ME THE PURPLE MIST, I WAS COMPLETELY BLOWN AWAY BECAUSE I HAD NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THAT.
YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU LOOK AT THESE THINGS, YOU TRY TO LOOK FOR DIFFERENT REASONS WHAT IS MAKING IT HAPPEN, BUT ALL THE LIGHTS IN THE DINING ROOM WERE OFF.
THEY WORKED WITH INFRARED CAMERAS.
THERE'S NO MIRRORS.
THERE'S NO WINDOWS.
IT'S COMPLETE DARKNESS.
I'M NOT A HIGH-TECH PERSON, BUT I DON'T THINK IT TAKES MUCH TO REALIZE THAT SOMETHING WAS THERE.
Morrison: AFTER CAPTURING THE EVPs CAPTURING THE PICTURES OF THIS PURPLE MIS THAT DEFINITELY SHOULD NOT BE THERE, THERE'S NO DOUBT IN MY MIND THAT THE CAJUN KITCHEN HAS AN EXTREME AMOUN OF PARANORMAL ACTIVITY.
Prudhomme: I THINK ALL OF THIS, IT'S CHANGED MY MIND BECAUSE IT OPENED MY EYES TO A WHOLE NOTHER WORLD THAT EXISTS ALL ROUND US.
Morrison: AND IF YOU EVER GO TO THE LOST CAJUN KITCHEN TO SIT DOWN AND HAVE A MEAL, I WOULD SAY THIS TO YOU -- PULL OUT AN EXTRA CHAIR.
SOMEBODY MIGHT BE JOINING YOU.
Peterson: WHEN I'M IN THE CAVE, I FEEL PEOPLE WATCHING ME.
White: IT GAVE ME COLD CHILLS.
IT'S SPOOKY.
Peterson: AND I FELT LIKE THE SPIRITS DID NOT WANT US IN THEIR AREA.
White: MY GHOST STORY BEGAN WHEN I TOOK A DATE TO A HAUNTED CAVE IN SUMMERSET, KENTUCKY.
MY FATHER BOUGHT THE CAVE ROUGHLY 20-SOME YEARS AGO, AND SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING IT, PASSED IT ON DOWN TO ME AS A GIFT.
THE CAVE IS ACTUALLY IN THE SIDE OF A STONE CLIFF.
THERE'S A STREAM OF WATER THAT FLOWS OUT OF THE CREVICES IN THE ROCK.
THE TRAIL THAT GOES DOWN TO THE CAVE STARTS OUT ON TOP OF THE CLIFF, AND YOU DESCEND THROUGH A CRACK IN THE ROCKS.
Peterson: ART AND I WENT TO HIGH SCHOOL TOGETHER, AND WE WERE JUST FRIENDS, AND THEN AS THINGS WENT ON, WE STARTED DATING.
White: ONE DAY, I RECONNECTED WITH ALISA.
OUR FIRST DATE WAS ACTUALLY TO THE CAVE.
Peterson: WHEN HE ASKED ME TO GO ON OUR FIRST DATE, OUT TO THE CAVE, IT WAS GREAT FOR ME BECAUSE I'M A VERY OUTDOORS-TYPE PERSON.
WHEN I FIRST WALK INTO THE CAVE, IT'S HUGE AND IT'S DARK AND COLD.
I IMMEDIATELY FEEL SUFFOCATED.
AFTER WE CAME OUT OF THE CAVE, WE CLIMBED UP TO THE PICNIC TABLES, AND WE JUST SAT THERE TALKING FOR A WHILE.
AND I JUST HAD A FEELING, SO I STEPPED AWAY FROM THE PICNIC TABLE TO THE AREA THAT I WAS BEING PULLED TO, AND AS I LOOKED TO MY RIGHT, I SAW AN APPARITION OF A NATIVE AMERICAN.
IT SCARED ME BECAUSE I WASN'T EXPECTING IT, BUT THEN JUST AS QUICK AS I LOOKED AWAY AND LOOKED BACK, IT WAS GONE.
SO, AS IT DISAPPEARED, I REALIZED THAT I HAD SEEN AN APPARITION OF A NATIVE AMERICAN.
I KNEW WHAT I HAD SEEN, SO I HAD TO TELL ART ABOUT IT.
White: IN THE NEIGHBORING COUNTY, THERE WAS THE CHEROKEE CHILDREN INDIAN MASSACRE.
OVER 100 CHILDREN AND WOMEN THAT WAS GATHERED TOGETHER TO MOVE OUT OF THE TERRITORY WAS MASSACRED BY WHITE MEN, AND I FEEL LIKE THAT'S PROBABLY TIED TO THE CAVE.
ANY OF THEM THAT MAY HAVE DWELLED NEAR THE CAVE MAY HAVE RETURNED AFTER THE MASSACRE.
Peterson: ONE DAY, WHEN I WAS IN THE CAVE -- I HAD TAKEN MY SON AND HIS FRIEND OUT.
THEY WERE CLIMBING AROUND ON ROCKS, AND, AT THAT MOMENT, I FELT AN ENERGY IN MY SPACE AND IN MY AREA STANDING RIGHT ON ME.
WHEN I STEPPED AWAY, I CAPTURED A PICTURE.
THE MINUTE THAT I TOOK THE PICTURE AND LOOKED BACK DOWN AT MY CAMERA, I LOOKED AT ART AND I SAID, "WE HAVE TO GET OUT OF HERE NOW," BECAUSE I KNEW THIS WAS NOT GOOD.
White: WHEN I SAW THE PHOTO OF THAT MIST IN THE VIEWFINDER, IT REALLY WAS FRIGHTENING BECAUSE IT DOES LOOK THREATENING.
Peterson: FROM THAT POINT, WE HAVE BEEN INTRIGUED TO GO BACK TO SEE IF WE CAN FIND MORE SPIRITS THAT EXIST THERE.
White: WELL, WE WAS JUST WALKING AROUND, AND OUR FRIEND TURNED THE VIDEO CAMERA ON TO START TAKING SOME VIDEO FOOTAGE.
AND, BAM, THERE IT IS -- THIS SWOOPING ORB.
Peterson: WHEN I INITIALLY SAW THE VIDEO OF THE ORB, I FINALLY STARTED TAKING IT IN AND REALIZING THAT MAYBE WE DID ACTUALLY CAPTURE A SPIRIT.
White: IT GAVE ME COLD CHILLS.
IT'S SPOOKY.
IT MAKES YOU REALIZE THAT, HEY, YOU'RE NOT IN THE CAVE ALONE.
SO, WE WENT BACK ON ANOTHER TRIP LATER AND SET UP THE LASER GRID AND LEFT A VIDEO CAMERA BEHIND FOR ROUGHLY ABOUT AN HOUR, AND WE CAUGHT THE ORB FLYING ACROSS THA IN A VERTICAL MOTION.
Peterson: WHEN WE CAPTURED THE ORB WITH THE LASER GRID, I WAS VERY SHOCKED.
I DO BELIEVE THAT THE SPIRITS WERE TRYING TO SHOW THEMSELVES TO US.
WE HAD WEN IN A DIFFERENT PART OF THE CAVE THAT I HAD NEVER BEEN TO, AND WE DECIDED TO TURN OUR FLASHLIGHTS OFF AND TO JUST TAKE A MOMEN TO SEE IF WE COULD CAPTURE ANYTHING ON THE EVP, AND THAT WAS WHEN WE CAUGH THE EVP.
WHEN I HEARD THE EVP THAT SAID, "LET'S GET THE BLOND [BLEEP.]
" IT REALLY SHOCKED ME AND SCARED ME BECAUSE I FELT LIKE THE SPIRITS WERE VERY AGITATED AT US AND DID NOT WANT US IN THEIR AREA.
White: I'VE GOT COLD CHILLS RIGHT NOW TELLING THAT STORY.
THAT WAS ONE OF THE FEW THREATENING EVPs THAT WE HAVE COLLECTED.
SHORTLY AFTER THE EVP SAID, "GET THE BLOND [BLEEP.]
" ALISA'S HAIR GOT PULLED.
SHE WAS VERY STARTLED, VERY ALARMED, AND READY TO LEAVE THE CAVE AT THAT POINT, AS YOU CAN IMAGINE ANYBODY WOULD BE THAT HAD THEIR HAIR PULLED BY SOMETHING THAT WASN'T THERE.
Peterson: I BELIEVE THAT THE SPIRITS DEFINITELY WERE TRYING TO SCARE ME THAT DAY, AND THEY DID A GOOD JOB.
AFTER WE REVIEWED THE EVIDENCE IT REALLY TOOK ME ABOUT THREE OR FOUR WEEKS BEFORE I WOULD GO BACK IN, BECAUSE I DID TAKE THA VERY PERSONAL.
AND THAT WAS VERY, VERY SCARY TO ME.
I THINK THAT THE SPIRITS ARE STILL IN THE CAVE BECAUSE THEY ARE VERY PROTECTIVE OF THEIR LAND.
THIS IS WHERE THEY BELIEVE IS HOME, AND I DON'T THINK THEY WANT TO LEAVE THE CAVE.
White: ALISA AND I KEEP GOING BACK TO THE CAVE AFTER ALL THESE EXPERIENCES BECAUSE WE WANT TO UNDERSTAND AND WE WANT TO KNOW MORE ABOUT THE SPIRITS THAT EXIST IN THE CAVE.
FOR SOME ODD REASON, THEY'VE BEEN TRAPPED.
Peterson: I DO BELIEVE THAT THE SPIRITS HAVE RESIDED THERE FOR A VERY LONG TIME AND MAYBE THERE'S TIMES, JUST LIKE PEOPLE, THAT WE DON'T APPRECIATE HAVING SOMEONE IN OUR HOME, AND THEY DON'T APPRECIATE IT, EITHER.
White: I WOULD PROBABLY SPEND THE REST OF MY LIFE TRYING TO FIND OUT WHO THESE SPIRITS ARE IN THIS CAVE.
Jane: WE JUST LOOKED AT EACH OTHER, REALIZING THAT WE HEARD A VOICE OF SOMEONE LONG DEAD THAT STILL STAYS ON THAT SHIP.
Douglas: THERE WAS NO ONE ANYWHERE NEAR THE DOOR OF THE CELL.
Jane: I REALIZED I WAS STANDING ALONE ON THE DECK WITH A GHOST.
Jane: I DIDN'T SEE THAT.
I DIDN'T SEE THAT.
I DIDN'T SEE THAT.
Douglas: I SAW A BLACK SHADOW.
Jane: AND I HEARD DOUG SCREAMING.
Douglas: MY GHOST STORY BEGAN WHEN MY WIFE AND I WENT TO VISI THE U.
S.
S.
NORTH CAROLINA.
Jane: BATTLESHIP NORTH CAROLINA WAS HIT BY A JAPANESE TORPEDO IN WORLD WAR II.
[ EXPLOSION .]
WE BELIEVED THAT THE SPIRITS ABOARD THE BATTLESHIP NORTH CAROLINA ARE THE MEN THAT DIED IN THE TORPEDO ATTACK.
Douglas: PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN ON THE U.
S.
S.
NORTH CAROLINA HAVE CAPTURED ALL SORTS OF IMAGES -- BLACK SHADOWS.
THE VERY FIRST NIGH THAT WE WALKED ON THE SHIP, WE WERE CHECKING ON SOME VIDEO AND NEEDED TO SET UP ANOTHER CAMERA.
Jane: WE COULDN'T FIND A POWER SOURCE, SO DOUG UNSCREWED THE LIGHT BULB AND BROKE IT.
Douglas: SO, I WAS WONDERING WHAT TO DO WITH THE LIGHT BULB AND WHETHER WE SHOULD REPLACE IT OR NOT.
WE GOT A RECORDING OF A VOICE SAYING, "TELL THE TRUTH.
" THAT IS SHARP AND CLEAR.
Jane: WE HEARD A VOICE RESPOND WHEN HE BROKE THAT LIGHT BULB, AND THE VOICE SAID "TELL THE TRUTH.
" Douglas: WOW.
Jane: WE JUST LOOKED AT EACH OTHER, REALIZING THAT WE HEARD A VOICE OF SOMEONE LONG DEAD.
Douglas: LATER THAT NIGHT, WE ALL WENT DOWN TO THE MESS.
Jane: LOOKING UP INTO THE MESS, I SAW A SHADOW.
IT WAS CRISP AND CLEAR.
IT WAS A BIG MAN, AND HE JUS WALKED ACROSS THE SERVING AREA RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME, AND THEN WASN'T THERE ANYMORE.
Douglas: I WAS ON MY HANDS AND KNEES, TRYING TO GET TO A LOCATION IN THE MESS AREA.
GOT TO A POIN WHERE I COULD STAND UP, AND AS I STARTED TO STAND UP, I SAW A BLACK SHADOW, BUT IT WAS A DARK, VERY DENSE SHADOW, PASS IN FRONT OF ME -- BLOCKED OUT ALL THE LIGHT.
Jane: AND I'M SAYING, "I DIDN'T SEE THAT.
I DIDN'T SEE THAT.
I DIDN'T SEE THAT.
" HE MUST HAVE BEEN SEVEN FOOT TALL.
HE WAS SO BLACK, IT LOOKED LIKE YOU COULD REACH YOUR HAND INSIDE AND YOUR HAND WOULD DISAPPEAR INTO THAT BLACKNESS.
Douglas: I FOLLOWED IT WITH MY EYES, JUST STARING STRAIGHT INTO THE BACK OF I AS IT PASSED TOWARDS THE BAKERY AREA OF THE SHIP AND SIMPLY DISAPPEARED.
Jane: I COULDN'T BELIEVE WHAT I'D SEEN, BUT I KNOW I'D SEEN A GHOST.
I WAS STANDING IN THE ENGINE ROOM ONE NIGHT, AND IT WAS JUST DOUG AND I, AND ALL OF A SUDDEN, I FELT LIKE I WAS SURROUNDED BY STATIC ELECTRICITY.
AND IT GOT VERY, VERY COLD.
AND I FELT A PRESENCE STANDING BESIDE ME.
I WAS TOO SCARED TO MOVE.
I DIDN'T WANT TO TURN MY HEAD, SO I ASKED DOUG, "IS THERE SOMEBODY STANDING RIGHT NEXT TO ME?" Douglas: AND SURE ENOUGH, RIGHT ON HER SHOULDER, THERE WAS A MAN STANDING THERE.
Jane: BUT BEFORE DOUG HAD EVEN RAISED HIS CAMERA TO TAKE A PICTURE, THE APPARITION JUST DISAPPEARED.
LATER, I HAD BEEN STUDYING DOWN IN THE ARCHIVES OF THE SHIP, AND I BROUGHT HOME A COPY OF AN OLD PHOTOGRAPH OF ONE OF THE MEN WHO DIED DURING THE TORPEDO ACCIDENT.
AND I HANDED DOUG THIS PICTURE OF INKY NELSON.
Douglas: MY JAW MUST HAVE DROPPED DOWN TO MY CHEST, 'CAUSE IT WAS PRECISELY THE SPIRIT THAT I SAW IN THE ENGINE ROOM THAT NIGHT.
Jane: AND HE RECOGNIZED HIM IMMEDIATELY.
Douglas: I WAS TOTALLY SHOCKED THAT I COULD IDENTIFY A MAN FROM A PHOTOGRAPH FROM THE 1940s WHO'S STILL ON THE SHIP.
I WAS JUST TOTALLY AMAZED.
WE WERE TOLD THAT THERE WERE THINGS THAT HAPPENED IN THE BRIG, SO I SET UP A STATIONARY CAMERA.
IT HAD BEEN RECORDING ALL NIGHT.
I'M SITTING, WATCHING THE VIDEO, AND WHAT DO I SEE? THE DOOR OF THE BRIG SWINGING WILDLY.
Jane: WHEN I HEARD DOUG SCREAMING, I THOUGH SOMETHING HAD HAPPENED.
AND HE SAYS, "JUST WATCH THIS.
" WE STOOD THERE IN AWE, WATCHING THIS CELL DOOR OPEN AND CLOSE AND OPEN AND CLOSE.
IT WAS TERRIFYING.
Douglas: THERE WAS NO ONE ANYWHERE NEAR THE DOOR OF THE CELL.
WHEN WE EXAMINED THE VIDEO CLOSELY, THERE WAS NOT EVEN A HAND TOUCHING THE CELL DOOR.
[ DOOR SLAMS .]
INKY NELSON WAS A SAILOR FROM THE U.
S.
S.
NORTH CAROLINA WHO WAS KILLED DURING THE TORPEDO ATTACK BY A JAPANESE SUBMARINE.
Jane: INKY AND THE OTHER MEN THAT HAUNT THE BATTLESHIP WANT TO BE THERE, AND THEY WILL REMAIN THERE TO GUARD THAT SHIP FOR AS LONG AS IT STANDS.
Douglas: AFTER ALL THE EVIDENCE WE'VE ACCUMULATED, I HAVE NO DOUBT IN MY MIND THAT THE U.
S.
S.
NORTH CAROLINA IS A VERY HAUNTED PLACE.
Jane: IF YOU TOLD ME THAT YOU DIDN'T BELIEVE IN SPIRITS OR GHOSTS, THEN I'D INVITE YOU TO COME ALONG AND JOIN US AT THE BATTLESHIP.
WE'LL INTRODUCE YOU TO THE SPIRITS.
Strickland: I IMMEDIATELY GOT A MENTAL IMPRESSION OF A YOUNG GIRL.
THERE'S SOME FORCE THAT POPS THE DOOR OPEN.
Wilhoit: I GUESS SHE WANTED US TO KNOW SHE WAS THERE.
Wilhoit: THE WILLIAM HEATH DAVIS HOUSE IS FILLED WITH SUPERNATURAL ACTIVITY.
Strickland: THE HOUSE IS HAUNTED.
Wilhoit: MY GHOST STORY BEGAN WHEN I BECAME A DOCENT A THE WILLIAM HEATH DAVIS HOUSE.
I DO TOURS DRESSED IN 1850s GARB, AND THE PEOPLE JUST LOVE THE TOUR, EVEN THOUGH WE HAVE SOME VERY, VERY DISQUIETING THINGS HAPPEN IN THAT HOUSE.
IT'S A HOUSE, FIRST OF ALL.
IT'S SO OLD, AND IT HAS SUCH A STORIED HISTORY.
IT WAS ACTUALLY BUILT IN MAINE, DECONSTRUCTED, BROUGHT AROUND WITH EIGHT OTHERS ON A SHIP, AND THEN RECONSTRUCTED IN DOWNTOWN SAN DIEGO.
THE WILLIAM HEATH DAVIS HOUSE IS FILLED WITH SUPERNATURAL ACTIVITY.
THERE WAS A TIME IN THAT HOUSE'S HISTORY WHEN IT BECAME A COUNTY HOSPITAL.
WE HAVE A ROOM SET UP LIKE A HOSPITAL ROOM WITH SOME OF THE ORIGINAL BEDS AND LINENS AND THINGS.
THERE WAS A LOT OF TUBERCULOSIS CASES.
SAILORS WOULD CATCH THA AND A LOT OF SOCIAL DISEASES.
THAT ROOM IS SO DEPRESSING.
PEOPLE GO IN THERE, AND THEY JUST KIND OF LEAVE.
THE MOST PROFOUND THING THAT HAPPENED TO ME, THOUGH, HAPPENED JUST RECENTLY.
I WAS GIVING A TOUR TO A COUPLE, AND I WAS JUST ABOUT READY TO STEP INTO THE PARLOR WHEN I FELT AS IF SOMEBODY JUST WENT -- AND PUT THEIR HANDS ON MY SHOULDERS.
AND AT THE SAME TIME, I FELT THE MOST INCREDIBLY PROFOUND COLD JUST, LIKE, WALK RIGHT STRAIGHT THROUGH ME, AND IT WAS JUST LIKE IT TOOK MY BREATH AWAY.
THE PEOPLE BEHIND ME DIDN'T NOTICE A THING.
SO I KIND OF GOT MY BREATH BACK AND CONTINUED ON WITH THE TOUR.
I MET NICOLE BECAUSE I FOUND OU SHE WAS ALSO INTERESTED IN THE SUPERNATURAL ACTIVITY HAPPENING AT THE HOUSE.
Strickland: A COUPLE OF GOOD FRIENDS AND I WENT TO THE WILLIAM HEATH DAVIS HOUSE.
I DO HAVE SOME EMPATHIC ABILITY, SO WHEN I FIRST ENTERED THROUGH THE FRONT DOOR, I IMMEDIATELY GOT A MENTAL IMPRESSION OF A YOUNG GIRL ABOUT 9 OR 10, PERHAPS 11 YEARS OLD.
I CLEARLY REMEMBER THICK, BROWN HAIR, SLIGHTLY WAVY, BIG BROWN EYES, AND THEN I HAPPENED TO GLANCE AT THIS PHOTO AT THE BASE OF THE STAIRCASE.
IT WAS A BLACK-AND-WHITE PHOTO OF A GIRL AROUND 9, 10, OR 11 YEARS OLD.
I WAS COVERED IN GOOSE BUMPS BECAUSE THE MENTAL IMAGE I GOT OF THE GIRL MATCHED THAT OF THE PHOTO, AND I HAD NO IDEA THAT THIS PHOTO EXISTED UNTIL I SAW IT.
SO I FOUND OU THAT'S LILY DAVIS, MR.
WILLIAM HEATH DAVIS' DAUGHTER.
LATER THAT EVENING, JERRY AND MARIA AND I WERE ALL IN THE PARLOR.
Jerry: IS THERE ANYBODY HERE WITH US WHO WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK TO US? Strickland: AT ONE POINT, WE MADE CONTAC WITH THE GHOST OF A LITTLE GIRL.
Jerry: LITTLE GIRL.
YOU WANT TO COME IN HERE AND SI AND TALK WITH US FOR A WHILE? Strickland: I FIND IT HIGHLY COINCIDENTAL THAT I HAD THIS MENTAL IMAGE OF A GIRL AND THEN WE GE THIS SPIRIT VOICE OF A YOUNG CHILD INTRODUCING HERSELF AS LILY ANN.
AND AT ANOTHER POINT, MARIA CAPTURED A VOICE -- CLEARLY A LITTLE GIRL SAYING, "WHERE'S MY MOMMY?" AS MUCH AS I'M EXCITED TO GE THAT QUALITY OF EVIDENCE, I ALWAYS FEEL SAD, IN A WAY.
ESPECIALLY WITH CAPTURING VOICES OF SMALL CHILDREN, I ALWAYS WORRY THAT MAYBE THEY'RE STUCK IN THIS PLANE AND THEY HAVEN'T MOVED ON TO WHERE THEY NEED TO GO.
IN MY HEART, I WANT THEM TO FEEL THAT THEY'RE AT PEACE.
SO, THE NIGHT WENT ON, AND I HAD A VIDEO CAMERA POINTING UPSTAIRS.
THE DOOR ON THE RIGH LEADS TO THE CHILDRENS' ROOM.
[ DOOR CREAKS .]
THE DOOR OPENED UP BY ITSELF.
[ DOOR CREAKS .]
YOU CAN CLEARLY TELL THAT THERE'S SOME FORCE THAT POPS THE DOOR OPEN.
Wilhoit: WHEN I SAW THE VIDEO OF THE DOOR OPEN, I THOUGHT, "SHE MUST BE A STRONG LITTLE GIRL TO BE ABLE TO OPEN THAT DOOR," BUT I GUESS SHE WANTED US TO KNOW SHE WAS THERE, SO SHE SHOWED US.
Strickland: WE EXAMINED THE DOOR.
THERE WERE NO AIR CONDITIONING VENTS, NO OPEN WINDOWS, NOTHING THAT COULD EXPLAIN THIS DOOR OPENING.
IT WAS DEFINITELY SPOOKY.
Wilhoit: THE LITTLE GIRL SAYING, "WHERE'S MY MOMMY?" TO ME, IS ABSOLUTE PROOF THAT THERE ARE SPIRITS IN THAT HOUSE.
I MEAN, I DON'T SEE HOW YOU CAN GO IN THAT HOUSE AND NOT KNOW IT.
AND THEN SEEING THE DOOR OPEN, THAT SORT OF SEALS THE DEAL FOR ME.
Strickland: WE DID NOT EXPECT TO CAPTURE ANYTHING OF THIS MAGNITUDE.
IN FACT, IT'S VERY RARE TO CAPTURE SOMETHING VERY AUTHENTIC ON VIDEO OR ON TAPE, SO WE WERE VERY IMPRESSED BY WHAT WE CAUGHT.
THE HOUSE IS HAUNTED.
