My Ghost Story (2010) s04e06 Episode Script

Rose: I SEE THIS SOLID, DARK FIGURE WALKING BACKWARDS ON THE BALCONY.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT THIS IS, BUT IT'S NOT US.
Bob: THERE'S OTHERS THAT ARE HERE, AND THEY'RE NOT PAR OF THE GROUP THAT'S BURIED IN THE BASEMENT.
Lee: I WAS SITTING AT THE MONITOR, AND I SEE THE DOOR FLY OPEN.
THERE WASN'T ANYBODY IN THERE.
Belanger: "HEY, SOMEONE JUST MOVED THE CAMERA.
" NO ONE HAD TOUCHED IT.
AND THEN IT'S MOVED AGAIN.
Dershem: WE FOUND AN APPARITION WALKING DOWN THE AISLEWAY.
WE COULDN'T BELIEVE OUR EYES.
Hall: THERE WAS A REALLY TALL MIST THAT WAS RIGHT BEHIND ME.
Stacy: IT'S THE SCARIEST FEELING YOU'LL EVER FEEL IN YOUR ENTIRE LIFE.
Belanger: SUDDENLY THE CAMERA MOVES.
Weisberg: YOU CAN FEEL THE HAIR ON THE BACK OF YOUR NECK STAND UP.
THIS IS SOMETHING THAT HAPPENS WHEN THERE'S DEMONIC SPIRITS PRESENT.
MY GHOST STORY BEGAN WHEN I WEN TO THE LIZZIE BORDEN BED AND BREAKFAS IN FALL RIVER, MASSACHUSETTS.
I'M A RADIO HOST OF A SHOW CALLED "SPOOKY SOUTHCOAST.
" I MET JEFF BELANGER IN THE FIRS YEAR OF OUR RADIO SHOW, AND WE'VE DEVELOPED A GOOD FRIENDSHIP AND A GOOD PARTNERSHIP.
WE OFTEN INVESTIGATE TOGETHER.
Belanger: I'M AN AUTHOR, AND I WRITE BOOKS, AND WE'RE PARANORMAL GUYS, WE STICK TOGETHER.
Weisberg: I WAS INVESTIGATING THE LIZZIE BORDEN BED AND BREAKFAS WITH JEFF BELANGER AND WITH SOME OTHER PEOPLE.
Belanger: LIVING IN NEW ENGLAND, YOU CAN'T HELP BUT HEAR ABOU THE LIZZIE BORDEN HOUSE.
THIS IS A RENOWNED LOCATION, BOTH FOR ITS HAUNTING AND THE NOTORIOUS DOUBLE MURDER THAT'S NEVER BEEN SOLVED A CENTURY LATER.
THERE'S A NURSERY RHYME WE LEARN IN NEW ENGLAND AS KIDS.
"LIZZIE BORDEN TOOK AN AX AND GAVE HER MOTHER 40 WHACKS.
"AND WHEN SHE SAW WHAT SHE HAD DONE, SHE GAVE HER FATHER 41.
" A REMINDER THAT MOST PEOPLE THINK IT WAS LIZZIE, BUT WE'RE NOT SURE, THERE'S THAT DOUBT.
BUT WHAT WE'RE POSITIVE OF IS THAT TWO PEOPLE WERE MURDERED.
THEY LOST THEIR LIVES IN THAT HOUSE.
Weisberg: IF YOU DIDN'T SEE THE SIGN OUTSIDE THE DOOR, YOU'D NEVER REALIZE THAT THIS IS THE HOUSE WHERE TWO PEOPLE WERE KILLED IN 1892.
IT JUST LOOKS LIKE A REGULAR THREE-STORY HOUSE.
BUT WHEN YOU WALK IN THERE, YOU CAN FEEL THE ENERGY.
IT'S ALMOST LIKE THE NEGATIVE ACTIVITY THAT'S HAPPENED THERE IS STILL IN THE AIR.
THE WAY THE HOUSE LOOKS NOW IS PRETTY MUCH EXACTLY HOW IT LOOKED IN 1892.
SO, WHEN YOU WALK IN THERE, IT'S LIKE YOU'RE STEPPING INTO A PHOTOGRAPH.
AND THEY HELP THAT ILLUSION QUITE A BI BY HAVING PHOTOGRAPHS ALL AROUND OF THE MURDER SCENE.
[ CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKING .]
Belanger: IT REALLY PUTS YOU IN THAT TIME PERIOD, AND SOMETHING INSIDE OF YOU IS TUNING INTO THE PAST.
Weisberg: THE FIRST SPOT WE WEN TO WAS THE BASEMENT.
THAT'S WHERE WE USUALLY STAR MOST OF OUR INVESTIGATIONS.
AND A FELLOW INVESTIGATOR TURNED ON THE TELEPHONE TO THE DEAD, WHICH IS A COMMUNICATION DEVICE THAT'S USED TO SPEAK TO SPIRITS.
AND AS SOON AS HE TURNED IT ON, I TOOK A PHOTOGRAPH THAT WAS JUST INUNDATED WITH ORBS.
THERE WERE NO ORBS IN ANY OF THE PHOTOGRAPHS BEFORE OR AFTER THAT ONE WAS TAKEN, AND MY BELIEF IS THAT THIS WAS A CASE WHERE ONCE THAT DEVICE WAS TURNED ON, THEN ALL THE SPIRITS JUST WANTED TO COME AND MAKE CONTACT.
WHAT SURPRISED ME MOS ABOUT THAT PHOTO WAS THE SHEER NUMBER OF ORBS, AND IT MADE ME THINK THAT MAYBE THIS SPO GOES BEYOND JUS A COUPLE OF AX MURDERS IN 1892.
AFTER WE INVESTIGATED THE BASEMENT, WE WENT UP TO THE SITTING ROOM.
WHEN YOU'RE IN THAT ROOM AND YOU KNOW THAT SOMEONE WAS BLUDGEONED TO DEATH WITH AN AX, THAT ENERGY IS PRETTY INTENSE.
IT SEEMS LIKE WHENEVER ANYBODY GOES INTO THE SITTING ROOM, THEY WANT TO REENAC THE ANDREW BORDEN MURDER ON THE COUCH -- TO HAVE SOMEBODY LAY DOWN ON THE COUCH AND SOMEBODY ELSE STAND OVER THEM WITH THE PROP AX THAT THEY HAVE THERE.
BUT WHENEVER ANYBODY TRIES TO TAKE THAT PHOTOGRAPH, IT'S ALMOST LIKE THE SPIRITS DON'T WANT IT TO HAPPEN.
THERE'S ALWAYS THESE STRANGE ANOMALIES IN THE PHOTOS -- THE AX WILL DISAPPEAR, ORBS WILL SHOW UP, THERE WILL BE STRANGE LIGHTS.
IT HAPPENS ALMOST EVERY TIME.
THE STRANGE THING ABOUT THE PHOTOGRAPHS THAT WE CAPTURED THAT NIGH WERE THE FACT THAT THE ORBS SHOWED UP IN THE PHOTOGRAPH RIGHT NEAR THE HATCHET, ALMOST LIKE IF THEY THOUGHT THE MURDER WAS HAPPENING OVER AGAIN AND THEY WANTED TO TRY TO STOP IT.
ON THE SECOND FLOOR IS LIZZIE BORDEN'S BEDROOM, AND IT'S RIGHT OFF TO THE ROOM WHERE MRS.
BORDEN WAS KILLED.
WHATEVER THE SPIRIT IS THAT'S THERE DOESN'T LIKE ME, BECAUSE WHEN I GO IN THERE, I VERY MUCH WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT I HAVE AN INTERACTION WITH IT.
AND I WILL PUSH CERTAIN TRIGGERS.
THAT REALLY GETS THE SPIRIT AGITATED.
SO, WE HAD OUR TAPE RECORDERS RUNNING.
Belanger: TIM WAS TAUNTING THE GHOSTS, AND THESE WEIRD RECORDINGS COME OUT.
Weisberg: YOU CAN HEAR ME ASKING IT QUESTIONS, AND IT RESPONDED WITH SOME VERY AGGRESSIVE STATEMENTS TOWARD ME.
I'LL STICK MY HANDS UP AGAIN.
Belanger: ONE OF THEM SOUNDS A LOT LIKE, "GO [BLEEP.]
YOURSELF.
" Weisberg: WHEN I HEARD THAT, I TOOK A STEP BACK AND SAID, "YOU KNOW, MAYBE I'M PUSHING THE SPIRIT A LITTLE BIT TOO FAR.
" THERE WAS ANOTHER EXAMPLE WHERE IT ACTUALLY CALLED ME AN [BLEEP.]
THESE WERE ENOUGH TO SEND A SHIVER DOWN YOUR SPINE, AND I KNEW I WAS GETTING A RISE OUT OF IT.
Belanger: WHEN YOU GET EVIDENCE LIKE THAT, THAT SOUNDS AGGRESSIVE, YOU REMIND YOURSELF THAT, "MAYBE WE DON'T KNOW EVERYTHING THAT'S GOING ON HERE, AND MAYBE MIGHT BE EVEN IN DANGER.
" Weisberg: IN ONE OF THE EVPs, WE ACTUALLY CAPTURED WHAT WE THINK IS THE SPIRIT OF LIZZIE BORDEN HERSELF.
WHAT HAPPENED WAS, WHILE WE WERE DISCUSSING THE CASE, YOU COULD HEAR THIS FEMININE VOICE IN THE BACKGROUND IN A VICTORIAN-ERA ACCENT SAYING, "BUT I'M A GOOD DAUGHTER.
" WHEN I HEARD THAT, I WAS SHOCKED.
AND WE'RE NOT SURE IF THAT'S LIZZIE TRYING TO SAY, "I DID IT, BUT I WAS A GOOD DAUGHTER AND I'M SORRY THAT I DID IT," OR IF LIZZIE WAS TRYING TO SAY SHE'S INNOCENT OF THE CRIME.
WE MOVED UP FROM THE SECOND FLOOR TO THE THIRD FLOOR, AND THAT'S WHERE THE HAUNTINGS ARE PROBABLY THE MOST PROFOUND.
A LOT OF PEOPLE KNOW ABOU ANDREW AND ABBY BORDEN'S MURDER, BUT WHAT THEY DON'T KNOW IS THAT IN 1842 A RELATIVE OF THE BORDENS, ELIZA BORDEN, ACTUALLY KILLED TWO OF HER THREE CHILDREN BY DROWNING THEM IN A WELL ON THE PROPERTY.
AND THEN SHE WENT INTO HER OWN HOUSE NEXT DOOR, WENT UPSTAIRS, SLIT HER THROAT, AND BLED TO DEATH.
Belanger: IT'S FASCINATING TO FIND OU THAT ANDREW AND ABBY BORDEN WEREN'T THE FIRST TWO PEOPLE KILLED ON THAT PROPERTY.
Weisberg: THE HOSEA KNOWLTON ROOM IS BELIEVED TO BE HAUNTED BY THE SPIRITS OF TWO OF THOSE CHILDREN.
THERE'S A CHEST FULL OF TOYS THAT INVESTIGATORS WILL OFTEN OPEN UP AND WILL THEN COME BACK INTO THE ROOM AND FIND SOME OF THOSE TOYS SPREAD AROUND.
THAT'S WHERE WE'VE HAD SOME PRETTY INTERESTING INTERACTIONS WITH WHAT COULD VERY WELL BE CHILD SPIRITS.
Belanger: THIS CAMERA WAS SET UP WITH NIGHT VISION AND SET RIGHT ON TOP OF THE CHEST FULL OF TOYS THAT THE KIDS SEEM TO LIKE TO PLAY WITH.
Weisberg: THE CAMERA WAS HARDWIRED INTO THE RECORDER, AND IT WAS SECURED UP AGAINST THE WALL.
Belanger: SUDDENLY IT MOVES.
THE PERSON MONITORING IT SAYS, "HEY, SOMEONE JUST MOVED THE CAMERA.
" AND WE LOOK AND NO ONE HAD TOUCHED IT.
NOTHING WAS AMISS AT ALL.
Weisberg: IN THE VIDEO, YOU CAN ACTUALLY SEE THE SHO RISE UP A LITTLE BI AND THEN TURN ABOUT 30 DEGREES POINTING IN THE OTHER DIRECTION.
Belanger: AND SO, THE CAMERA WAS PLACED BACK LOOKING INTO THE ROOM AS IT SHOULD BE.
AND THEN IT'S MOVED AGAIN.
Weisberg: NO ONE WAS AROUND THE CAMERA AT THE TIME, AND THE CHEST WAS ACTUALLY UP AGAINST THE WALL IN THE BACK CORNER, SO NOBODY WAS NEAR I TO MANIPULATE IT.
THAT'S ONE OF THE MOST PROFOUND PIECES OF EVIDENCE THAT I'VE EVER SEEN, KNOWING THAT THIS HAD HAPPENED NOT ONCE BUT TWICE.
Belanger: WE CAN'T EXPLAIN IT.
WE KNOW THAT ROOM IS HAUNTED.
WE KNOW PEOPLE HAVE REPORTED ALL KINDS OF STRANGE PHENOMENA IN THERE FOR YEARS.
SO MAYBE THOSE KIDS WANTED TO GET AT THEIR TOYS AGAIN.
AT THE END OF THE NIGHT, WE PACKED IT UP AND HEADED OUT.
THE DAY AFTER THIS INVESTIGATION, LEEANN, THE OWNER, CALLS AND SAYS, "THERE'S SOMETHING REALLY WEIRD.
YOU HAVE TO SEE THIS.
" AND SO, I HEAD DOWN THERE, AND SHE SAID, "LOOK AT THE BACK DOOR THAT LEADS DOWN INTO THE BASEMENT.
" AND IT'S COVERED IN THESE BLACK FLIES.
SO I PULLED OUT MY CELLPHONE AND JUST TOOK A QUICK VIDEO OF IT.
WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE VIDEO, IT DOES IT NO JUSTICE.
THERE WERE DOZENS OF THESE BIG, BLACK FLIES HOVERING ALL OVER THE GLASS.
IT WAS GROSS, IT WAS WEIRD, AND IT MAKES YOU WONDER, "DID WE STIR SOMETHING UP THE NIGHT BEFORE AND THESE FLIES ARE A BY-PRODUCT OF THAT?" I'VE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT.
Weisberg: WHEN JEFF SHOWED ME THE VIDEO OF ALL THE FLIES INFESTING THAT WINDOW, I WAS REALLY THROWN FOR A LOOP BECAUSE THIS IS SOMETHING THAT YOU HEAR HAPPENS WHEN THERE'S DARK SPIRITS PRESENT -- WHEN THERE'S POTENTIALLY DEMONIC SPIRITS PRESENT.
Belanger: THE LIZZIE BORDEN HOUSE IS SO INTRIGUING BECAUSE IT JUST BEGS SO MANY MORE QUESTIONS THAN IT OFFERS ANSWERS.
Weisberg: WE STARTED THINKING BACK TO ALL THE EVIDENCE THAT WE'D CAPTURED, AND THAT'S WHEN WE STARTED TO THINK THAT THERE WAS SOMETHING DARK IN THAT HOUSE.
IT FED OFF THE BORDEN MURDERS.
IT FEEDS OFF PEOPLE GOING IN THERE AND TALKING ABOUT I TO THIS DAY.
AND IT'S JUS A REALLY NASTY CHARACTER.
Belanger: WE DON'T LIKE UNSOLVED MURDERS IN OUR SOCIETY.
AND SO MAYBE LIZZIE BORDEN'S IS HAUNTED BECAUSE HISTORY DEMANDS TO BE REMEMBERED THERE.
IT TELLS YOU THERE'S MORE AFTER DEATH.
Rose: WHEN AMANDA FIRST SAID THAT WE WERE GOING TO INVESTIGATE THE TRAIN STATION, I WAS LIKE, "ALL RIGHT.
" THIS MIST LOOKED LIKE IT WAS TRYING TO COME OVERTOP OF HER.
Hall: IT JUST FELT LIKE SOMETHING WAS WATCHING YOU.
[ GASPS .]
Rose: SOMETHING HAD COME UP BEHIND HER, FELT LIKE IT WAS TRYING TO INVADE HER SPACE.
[ WOMAN SCREAMS .]
Hall: I FELT LIKE THIS TALL, MASCULINE PRESENCE.
Rose: I SEE THIS REALLY DARK FIGURE WALKING BACKWARDS.
MY FIRST REACTION WAS, "HOLY CRAP, WHAT IS THAT ON THE BALCONY?" Hall: MY GHOST STORY BEGAN WHEN I VISITED THE BRISTOL TRAIN STATION IN BRISTOL, VIRGINIA.
I WAS BORN AND RAISED IN BRISTOL, AND ANYONE THA HAS GROWN UP THERE IS FAMILIAR WITH THE TRAIN STATION, ITS HISTORY, AND A LOT OF THE FOLKLORE THAT GOES ALONG WITH IT.
I'M WITH A GROUP CALLED APPALACHIAN TRUTH SEEKERS, AND I REALLY WANTED US TO INVESTIGATE AN AREA THAT WE WERE FAMILIAR WITH, SO I CHECKED IN TO THE BRISTOL TRAIN STATION.
Rose: WHEN AMANDA FIRST SAID THAT WE WERE GOING TO INVESTIGATE THE TRAIN STATION, I WAS LIKE, "ALL RIGHT.
" Man: TRAIN STATION WAS BUILT IN 1902.
1999, THEY STARTED RENOVATIONS FOR TO MAKE I INTO A BANQUET HALL.
Rose: I'M FAMILIAR WITH A LOT OF THE STORIES AND A LOT OF RUMORS THAT YOU HEAR OVER THE YEARS.
YOU KNOW, YOU'RE TALKING ABOU A PLACE WITH A LOT OF HISTORY, A LOT OF TRAGEDY.
ONE STORY IS THE EMMA TOMPKINS STORY.
I BELIEVE IT WAS IN MAY OF 1895.
SHE WANTED TO LEAVE HER HUSBAND, AND HER HUSBAND DIDN'T WANT HER TO LEAVE.
AND AS THE TRAIN CAME INTO THE STATION HE GRABBED HER AND THREW THEM BOTH ON THE TRACKS AND THEY WERE BOTH KILLED.
SUPPOSEDLY WITNESSES SEEN THE HEAD OF THIS LADY ROLLING ACROSS THE TRACKS.
Hall: WHILE WE WERE TAKING THE TOUR, THE SECURITY GUARD STARTED TELLING US ABOUT HIS EXPERIENCES.
HE ESPECIALLY DID NO LIKE THE BASEMEN OR WHAT'S CALLED THE ROCK ROOM.
HE ALWAYS FELT LIKE THERE WAS SOMETHING STANDING BEHIND HIM OR BREATHING DOWN HIS NECK.
Rose: HE HAD MENTIONED THAT NONE OF THE EMPLOYEES LIKE TO GO DOWN THERE BY THEIR SELF EVEN IN THE DAYTIME BECAUSE THEY JUST FEEL WEIRD ABOUT THE WHOLE BASEMENT PART.
Hall: AS I STARTED WALKING DOWN TO THE ROCK ROOM, AS I GOT CLOSER, I COULD FEEL THAT THE ENERGY OF THAT ROOM WAS COMPLETELY DIFFERENT AND OFF COMPARED TO THE RES OF THE TRAIN STATION.
IT JUST FELT EERIE.
IT FELT LIKE SOMETHING WAS WATCHING YOU, MAYBE SOMETHING FOLLOWING YOU.
I FELT ALMOST LIKE THERE WAS A MASCULINE OR MALE PRESENCE, KIND OF ALMOST OPPRESSIVE.
IT FELT JUST REALLY TALL AND ALMOST LIKE IT WAS RIGHT THERE NEAR ME.
I'VE NEVER REALLY FELT ANYTHING LIKE THAT BEFORE.
WE ACTUALLY GOT PROOF THAT THERE WAS A REALLY TALL, YOU KNOW, MIST THAT WAS RIGHT BEHIND ME.
Rose: THE PHOTO WAS TAKEN OFF AN INFRARED CAMERA THAT WE HAD SET UP ON A LEDGE.
THIS MIST LOOKED LIKE IT WAS TRYING TO COME OVERTOP OF HER.
AND THEN THE VERY NEXT FRAME AFTER THAT, IT LOOKED LIKE IT WAS FURTHER DOWN.
IT'S DEFINITELY TWO OR THREE FEET TALLER THAN SHE IS.
Hall: WHEN WE WALKED INTO THE ROCK ROOM, I WAS SEPARATED FROM THE MEN.
ROBERT WAS OVER TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE ROOM, AND THE OTHER INVESTIGATOR WAS TOWARDS THE DOOR, THE OPENING.
AND I WAS WALKING TOWARDS THE MIDDLE OF THE ROOM.
THE AIR WAS HEAVIER, LIKE, I COULDN'T BREATHE AS GOOD.
I FELT THIS PRESENCE RUSHING UP TO ME, ALMOST LIKE YOU FEEL LIKE THERE'S SOMETHING IN YOUR PERSONAL SPACE.
AND THEN I JUST FEEL, LIKE, THIS PRESSURE.
Rose: AMANDA SAID SOMETHING PUSHED HER.
SHE ALMOST FELL.
SOMETHING HAD COME UP BEHIND HER, FELT LIKE IT WAS TRYING TO INVADE HER SPACE BUT NOT ACTUALLY TOUCH HER.
I'VE BEEN TOLD SOMETIMES WHEN YOU'RE DEALING WITH A POSSIBLE NEGATIVE SPIRIT, YOU HAVE TO SET BOUNDARIES WITH THEM.
AND THAT'S BASICALLY WHAT SHE DID.
Hall: I GOT ANGRY BECAUSE I REFUSED TO SHOW FEAR.
SO I WAS AGGRESSIVE AT FIRST.
RIGHT WHEN I HAD SAID THAT I FELT LIKE SOMETHING WAS IN MY PERSONAL SPACE, WE ACTUALLY GOT AN EVP.
Rose: EVP COMES BACK IN A MALE VOICE THAT SAYS, "I DID NOT DO IT.
" IT COULD HAVE BEEN A NEGATIVE SPIRIT JUST LYING TO HER.
Hall: WHATEVER IT WAS, WAS PICKING ON THE ONLY GIRL IN THE ROOM.
OH [BLEEP.]
Rose: I DO BELIEVE IT IS POSSIBLE THAT THE MALE SPIRI THAT TRIED TO PUSH AMANDA COULD POSSIBLY BE THE SPIRI OF THE HUSBAND [ WOMAN SCREAMS .]
THAT PUSHED HIMSELF AND EMMA TOMPKINS OFF ON THE TRACKS IN THE 1800s.
Hall: MAYBE I REMINDED HIM OF HER SOMEHOW, AND MAYBE HE WAS AGGRESSIVE TOWARDS ME BECAUSE OF THAT.
BUT I'VE NEVER EXPERIENCED ANYTHING LIKE THA AS LONG AS I'VE EVER INVESTIGATED.
AFTER I EXPERIENCED BEING SHOVED, WE ACTUALLY ENDED UP STAYING ABOUT ANOTHER HOUR AND A HALF.
ROBERT HAD DECIDED TO TES A CAMERA THAT WE HAD TO MAKE SURE THAT BATTERY LIFE AND EVERYTHING WAS FINE.
BUT I JUST WANTED TO CALL IT A NIGHT.
I'VE JUST NEVER HAD ANYTHING ACTUALLY PHYSICALLY TOUCH ME BEFORE.
AND IT SHOOK ME UP REALLY BADLY.
I FEEL LIKE I KEPT MY OUTSIDE APPEARANCE UNDER CONTROL, BUT ON THE INSIDE I WAS FALLING APART.
I WAS STILL FEELING REALLY SHAKY LIKE SOMETHING WAS WATCHING ME, EVEN ON MY WAY HOME.
Rose: THE NEXT DAY WHEN I WAS GOING THROUGH VIDEO EVIDENCE, I ALMOST THREW SOME FOOTAGE AWAY BECAUSE WE WEREN'T ACTUALLY INVESTIGATING AT THE TIME.
THAT'S WHEN I NOTICED THE SHADOW FIGURE ON THE BALCONY.
I SEE THIS REALLY SOLID, DARK FIGURE WALKING BACKWARDS LIKE IT WAS WATCHING US.
MY FIRST REACTION WAS, "HOLY CRAP, WHAT IS THAT ON THE BALCONY?" BECAUSE I DIDN' EXPECT ANYTHING.
SO I PAUSED IT, BACKED IT UP, WATCHED IT AGAIN.
I WATCHED IT AT LEAS A DOZEN TIMES.
I WENT FRAME TO FRAME.
AND I HAD TO CALL AMANDA.
I SAID, "WE GOT SOMETHING WEIRD ON THIS BALCONY.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT THIS IS, BUT IT'S NOT US.
" Hall: WHAT IS THAT? Rose: I DON'T KNOW.
Hall: GO BACK.
EVERYONE, INCLUDING THE SECURITY GUARD, WAS IN THE BALLROOM AREA AT THAT TIME.
THERE WAS NO OTHER PEOPLE IN THE BUILDING.
SEEING A SOLID BLACK SHAPE JUST WALK BACKWARDS -- AND GRACEFULLY BACKWARDS -- IT'S ABSOLUTELY ONE OF THE MOST FRIGHTENING AND ALSO AMAZING THINGS I'VE EVER SEEN.
WE DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT WAS.
Rose: WITH THE EVIDENCE THAT WE CAPTURED THE EVP, THE MIST AND WE GOT THAT VIDEO EVIDENCE OF THE DARK FIGURE -- IN MY OPINION, THE PLACE DEFINITELY IS HAUNTED.
Hall: I HAVE BEEN BACK TO THE TRAIN STATION TO ACTUALLY INVESTIGATE.
THE BASEMENT ROCK ROOM STILL FEELS THE SAME, LIKE THE AIR'S THICKER AND YOU FEEL LIKE YOU'RE BEING WATCHED.
I HAVE THOUGHT ABOUT THAT MALE ENTITY WE CAUGHT ON THE BALCONY.
I THINK WHATEVER IT IS WAS WATCHING US, AND I HAVE TO WONDER IF THA SPIRIT WAS MOCKING US AS WELL.
Lee: I WAS SITTING AT THE MONITOR WATCHING, AND I SEE THE DOOR FLY OPEN.
I IMMEDIATELY JUMPED UP AND WENT INTO THE ROOM.
IT WAS DARK.
IT WAS COLD.
I KNEW THE HISTORY OF THIS PLACE AND THE NUMBER OF BODIES THAT HAD BEEN STORED HERE.
I HAD THIS FEELING THA SOMETHING WAS GONNA BE IN THERE.
Jennifer: EVERY HAIR ON MY BODY WAS STANDING UP.
Lee: I SEE THE DOOR FLY OPEN.
THERE WAS NO EXPLANATION FOR THIS DOOR OPENING.
I IMMEDIATELY STARTED SNAPPING PICTURES.
THAT'S WHEN WE SAW THE BLACK MASS COMING FROM THE DOOR.
MY GHOST STORY BEGAN WHEN I VISITED ROCKY POINT MANOR WITH MY WIFE IN HARRODSBURG, KENTUCKY.
IT SEEMS EVERY SMALL TOWN HAS A HAUNTED HOUSE.
THE HAUNTED HOUSE IN MY TOWN IS HISTORIC ROCKY POINT MANOR.
ROCKY POINT MANOR WAS BUILT IN 1809.
IN 1862, THE CIVIL WAR CAME THROUGH THE STATE OF KENTUCKY.
DURING THAT TIME, CONFEDERATES USED THE HOUSE AS A HOSPITAL.
THERE WERE SO MANY CASUALTIES AND WOUNDED SOLDIERS, THE SURGEONS WOULD JUS CHOP LIMBS OFF AND PITCH THEM OUT THE WINDOW.
THERE WAS NO ANESTHETIC.
THEY RAN OUT OF WHISKEY, SO A LOT OF CIVIL WAR SOLDIERS DIED VERY, VERY PAINFULLY IN THAT HOUSE.
ROCKY POINT SAT VACAN FOR YEARS, AND THEN ONE OF MY FRIENDS SAW A TEN SITTING IN THE FRONT YARD.
THAT MIGHT NOT SOUND TOO WEIRD, BUT IT WAS IN DECEMBER, AND KENTUCKY GETS PRETTY COLD.
SO JENNIFER AND I WENT TO TALK TO WHOEVER HAD THIS TENT.
WHEN WE GOT THERE, WE MET THE OWNER, A YOUNG MAN NAMED JUSTIN.
AND I ASKED HIM WHY HE WAS SLEEPING IN A TEN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE WINTER.
HE STARTED OFF SAYING, "OH, I DON'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT.
I JUST DON'T WAN TO TALK ABOUT IT.
" I KEPT PRODDING AND PRODDING.
THEN HE SAID, "WELL, I SAW SOMETHING IN THE HOUSE.
" Jennifer: LEE AND I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN INTERESTED IN THE PARANORMAL, AND WE HAVE BEEN ON QUITE A FEW INVESTIGATIONS.
SO WE THOUGHT WE COULD FIND SOME ANSWERS FOR HIM.
HE TOLD US THE FIRST TIME HE CAME INTO THE HOME, HE WALKED IN, SET HIS BELONGINGS DOWN, LOOKED UP ON THE LANDING Lee: HE SAW A FIGURE OF A LADY OR AN APPARITION STANDING ON THE STAIRCASE.
HE IMMEDIATELY PICKED UP HIS DUFFEL AND WALKED OUT TO SLEEP IN HIS TRUCK FOR THE NIGHT.
AFTER WE HEARD HIS STORY, WE TALKED HIM INTO LETTING US COME IN AND INVESTIGATE.
WHEN WE FIRST DID THE INVESTIGATION, I INVITED JUSTIN TO COME WITH US.
Jennifer: I FELT A LITTLE UNEASY WHEN WE GOT THERE.
IT WAS LIKE THE SPIRITS KNEW THAT WE WERE GOING TO INVESTIGATE THEM.
Lee: AS JENNIFER AND I APPROACHED, WE FELT LIKE THE HOUSE WAS WATCHING US.
IT WAS JUST CREEPY.
AND I ALSO HAD THE FEELING THIS PLACE WAS GONNA BE ACTIVE.
WHEN YOU FIRST WALK INTO THE HOME, THERE'S THIS HUGE FOYER -- IT'S JUST BEAUTIFUL.
IT'S GOT A WINDING STAIRCASE THAT TAKES YOU UP TO THE SECOND LEVEL.
WE STARTED SETTING UP DIFFERENT TYPES OF EQUIPMENT.
WE USE LOTS OF AUDIO RECORDERS, WE USE LOTS OF CAMERAS, AND WE TAKE LOTS OF STILL PICTURES, AS WELL.
JENNIFER AND I HAD THIS FEELING OF ALMOST HEAVINESS.
IT'S LIKE YOU'RE ON GUARD.
YOU THINK THAT SOMETHING'S GONNA COME OUT FROM THIS DOOR.
YOU THINK YOU'RE GONNA SEE SOMETHING FROM OVER HERE.
IT'S A SENSE OF FEAR.
Jennifer: WE HAD A RECORDER IN THE UPSTAIRS ROOM.
WE WERE TRYING TO GE THE SPIRITS TO MAKE CONTACT, ASKING THEM IF WE CAN GE ANY KIND OF ANSWER THROUGH ONE OF THE METERS THAT WE HAVE OR ON THE RECORDER.
WE GOT A LADY'S VOICE SAYING, "LAY DOWN.
" Lee: WE HEARD A WOMAN UPSTAIRS TALKING TO US.
AND YOU PLAINLY HEAR HER SAY, "LAY DOWN.
" THROUGHOUT THE NIGHT, WE WERE TRYING TO DO DIFFERENT COMMUNICATION WITH THE SPIRITS OR WITH THE GHOSTS.
WE DID GET TO CAPTURE SOME OF THIS ON THE RECORDERS.
JUSTIN WAS THERE, AS WELL.
Jennifer: WE ASKED IF THE SPIRITS KNEW THE NAME OF ANY PERSON THAT WAS THERE AT THE HOUSE, AND WE GOT THE NAME "JUSTIN.
" WHEN JUSTIN HEARD HIS NAME ON THE EVP, HE WAS DEFINITELY DISTURBED.
Lee: IT CAUGHT HIM OFF GUARD, KNOWING THAT THIS SPIRI KNEW THAT HE WAS THERE.
Jennifer: AS I WALKED INTO THE ROOM DOWNSTAIRS, I HAD THIS SUDDEN, SHARP PAIN THROUGH THE LEFT SIDE OF MY CHEST.
LEE WAS DEFINITELY WORRIED.
HE THOUGHT FOR A MOMENT I MAY BE HAVING A HEART ATTACK.
Lee: I STARTED THINKING, "WHAT'S GOING ON? WHY IS SHE FEELING THIS WAY?" BUT AS SOON AS SHE LEFT THE AREA, SHE STARTED TO FEEL BETTER.
SHE CAME BACK AND SHE FELT IT AGAIN.
Jennifer: I WALK AWAY, I DON'T FEEL IT.
I COME BACK HERE, I FEEL IT AGAIN.
EVERY HAIR ON MY BODY WAS STANDING UP.
MY HEART WAS RACING.
I GOT THE IMAGE IN MY HEAD OF A CIVIL WAR SOLDIER.
MAYBE HE HAD A GUNSHO OR SOME TYPE OF INJURY HERE THAT WAS BEING TREATED PERHAPS THERE AT ROCKY POINT.
IT DEFINITELY IS UNNERVING THAT THE SPIRITS ARE ABLE TO AFFECT YOU SO PERSONALLY, SO PHYSICALLY.
WHATEVER SPIRIT IT WAS, IT DEFINITELY GOT MY ATTENTION.
Lee: TOURING THE KITCHEN, I NOTICED THAT A DOOR WAS OPEN.
AND SO, I SHUT THE DOOR AND CAME BACK A LITTLE WHILE LATER, AND THE DOOR WAS OPEN AGAIN.
SO I PUT A CAMERA ON THE DOOR IN HOPES OF FINDING WHY THIS DOOR WAS OPENING.
I WAS SITTING AT THE MONITOR WATCHING, AND I SEE THE DOOR FLY OPEN.
I IMMEDIATELY JUMPED UP AND WENT INTO THE ROOM, AND THERE WASN'T ANYBODY IN THERE.
I KNEW THAT I HAD SECURED IT, SO I KNEW THA IT WOULD TAKE SOMETHING WITH SOME KIND OF A STRENGTH AND SOME KIND OF A PHYSICAL PRESENCE TO MAKE THIS DOOR OPEN.
I HAD THIS FEELING THA SOMETHING WAS GONNA BE IN THERE.
I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT IT WAS GONNA BE.
I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT.
I DIDN'T KNOW IF I WAS GONNA GO IN AND SEE AN APPARITION STANDING THERE.
AFTER I'D SECURED IT, I WAS REALLY SURPRISED THAT IT OPENED AGAIN.
THAT WAS LETTING ME KNOW THA SOMETHING WANTED THAT DOOR OPEN.
Jennifer: WHEN I SAW THE DOOR OPEN ON ITS OWN FOR THE SECOND TIME IN THE VIDEO, I WAS STUNNED.
THERE WAS NOTHING INSIDE THAT COULD HAVE PHYSICALLY HAVE PUSHED THE DOOR OPEN.
Lee: I IMMEDIATELY STARTED SNAPPING PICTURES TO SEE IF I COULD GET ANYTHING IN STILL PHOTOGRAPHY.
THAT'S WHEN WE SAW THE BLACK MASS COMING FROM THE DOOR.
I DON'T KNOW THAT THIS IS A SPIRIT OF A SOLDIER.
I DO KNOW THAT THERE IS A BLACK MASS THAT IS A SPIRIT IN THIS HOUSE.
Jennifer: I THINK IT'S A SPIRI TRYING TO MAKE ITSELF KNOWN TO US.
Lee: I HAD PLACED SOME MOTION DETECTORS DOWN IN THE BASEMEN WHERE THE ACTUAL MORGUE FOR THE HOSPITAL WAS DURING THE CIVIL WAR.
WE WERE JUST ABOU TO LEAVE, AND THE MOTION DETECTOR STARTED GOING OFF.
THERE WAS NOBODY DOWN THERE.
I THOUGHT, WELL, I'M GONNA GO DOWN AND CHECK IT OUT.
IT'S A VERY DARK BASEMENT.
I HAD A VERY LARGE SPOTLIGHT, AND THE SPOTLIGHT HAD CHARGED ALL DAY LONG, AND IT HAS THIS HUGE BATTERY ON IT.
AS I WALKED TOWARDS THE MOTION DETECTOR THE LIGHT DIED.
I WAS IN A FOREIGN AREA.
IT WAS DARK.
IT WAS COLD.
I KNEW THE HISTORY OF THIS PLACE AND THE NUMBER OF BODIES THAT HAD BEEN STORED HERE.
I IMMEDIATELY HAD TO EXI THAT AREA.
I QUICKLY GRABBED THE MOTION DETECTOR AND TURNED AND HEADED TOWARDS THE DOORWAY.
I DIDN'T WANT TO BE IN THAT AREA ANY LONGER.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT MADE ME FEEL THAT WAY.
I DIDN'T WANT TO GO BACK DOWN IN THE BASEMENT.
WITH ALL THE EXPERIENCES THAT I'VE HAD IN THIS HOUSE AND ALL THE HISTORY AND EVERYTHING THAT GOES ON EVERY TIME THAT WE'RE IN THIS PLACE, WITHOUT A DOUB ROCKY POINT MANOR IS ONE OF THE MOST ACTIVELY HAUNTED HOUSES THAT I HAVE EVER BEEN IN.
Jennifer: WITH THE PHYSICAL EXPERIENCE OF HAVING CHEST PAINS AND WITH THE PHOTOGRAPHS, THE VIDEO, THE VOICES THAT WE'VE HEARD I KNOW THE PLACE IS HAUNTED.
I KNOW THA THERE'S ACTIVITY THERE.
IT'S JUST SOMETHING THAT YOU HAVE TO WITNESS FOR YOURSELF TO TRULY BELIEVE.
Bob: WHEN I WAS GOING THROUGH THE HISTORY OF THE HOUSE, I HEARD THE STORY ABOUT SLAVES BEING IN THE BASEMENT.
Stacy: THERE WAS NO ONE IN THERE.
THE BUGGY MOVES ON ITS OWN.
WHAT'S YOUR NAME? OKAY.
THEY DO NOT WANT US TO BE THERE.
WE GOT TO GO.
Stacy: WE CATCH THIS SHADOW.
HE WAS KILLED UP THERE.
Bob: THEY BURNED THE BODY IN THE ATTIC TO HIDE THE EVIDENCE.
Bob: MY GHOST STORY BEGAN WHEN I VISITED THE HANNAH HOUSE WITH MY DAUGHTER STACY IN INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA.
AS YOU GROW UP IN INDIANA, YOU'VE HEARD THE STORIES OF THE POSSIBLE HAUNTINGS AT THE HOUSE.
Stacy: THINGS PEOPLE HAVE EXPERIENCED -- BEING TOUCHED, SEEING SHADOWS.
THERE ARE STORIES OF DOORS CLOSING.
[ DOOR SLAMS .]
Bob: THERE'S PEOPLE WHO HAVE SAID THEY'VE HEARD WHISPERING A BABY CRYING FOOTSTEPS WHEN THEY'RE IN THE HOUSE ALONE.
Stacy: THE HANNAH HOUSE WAS BUILT IN 1858 BY ALEXANDER HANNAH, AND IT'S A BIG VICTORIAN HOME, BIG STAIRCASE AND WOODEN FLOORS, GRANDMAS' FURNITURE THAT STILL LOOKS THE WAY THAT IT DID BACK THEN.
MR.
HANNAH ALSO HAD A WIFE, AND THEY HAD A STILLBORN CHILD.
Bob: PEOPLE SAY THA THEY HAVE SEEN ELIZABETH, AND THEY'VE HEARD BABIES CRYING AND THINGS LIKE THA ON THE SECOND FLOOR OF THE HANNAH HOUSE.
SO, WE BEGAN SETTING UP OUR EQUIPMENT.
Stacy: I WAS ALREADY ON EDGE.
THE HOUSE FEELS VERY HEAVY, LIKE THERE'S SOMEONE RIGHT BEHIND YOU, LIKE YOU CAN ALMOST FEEL THEM BREATHING ON YOUR NECK.
Bob: WE'RE GONNA PUT IT RIGHT THERE.
WE'RE GONNA SHOO THROUGH THE HALLWAY.
WE HAD CAMERAS SET UP JUST TO WATCH THE HALLWAY.
BUT THERE'S AN IRON BABY BUGGY THAT WAS IN THIS ROOM.
Stacy: THERE WAS NO ONE IN THERE.
THE BUGGY MOVES ON ITS OWN.
Bob: AND I WAS LIKE, "OH, MY GOD.
I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT JUST HAPPENED.
" Stacy: POSSIBLY IT'S MRS.
HANNAH MOVING THE BUGGY.
Bob: WOW.
SOMEBODY IS STILL THERE.
AND ARE THEY STILL LOOKING FOR THEIR BABY? Stacy: IT'S VERY SAD THAT SHE HAD A STILLBORN, KNOWING THAT THAT'S WHA HER PRIDE AND JOY WAS, AND IT'S GONE.
[ FLOORBOARDS CREAKING .]
Bob: WHEN I WAS GOING THROUGH THE HISTORY OF THE HOUSE, I HEARD THE STORY ABOUT SLAVES BEING IN THE BASEMENT.
Stacy: MR.
HANNAH WANTED THE SLAVES TO HAVE THE UNDERGROUND RAILROAD, SO HE LET THEM USE THE HOUSE.
Bob: ONE NIGHT, ONE OF THE SLAVES HAD KICKED OVER A LANTERN, STARTED A FIRE, AND THE SLAVES DIED FROM SMOKE INHALATION OR THEY WERE BURNED.
Stacy: SUPPOSEDLY MR.
HANNAH HAD TO GET RID OF THE BODIES SOMEHOW, SO THEY BURIED THE BODIES DOWN IN THE BASEMENT.
AND SUPPOSEDLY THEY'RE STILL THERE.
Bob: LATER, WE PICKED UP THIS EVP AND IT ACTUALLY SAYS, "WE'RE NOT BURIED.
" AND THAT GOT ME TO THINKING -- IT'S LIKE, "OKAY, OBVIOUSLY THERE'S OTHERS THAT ARE HERE, "AND THEY MUST WANT TO LET US KNOW THAT THEY'RE HERE, AS WELL, "BY LETTING US KNOW THA THEY'RE NOT PART OF THE GROUP THAT'S BURIED IN THE BASEMENT.
" Stacy: AS THE NIGHT WENT ON, MY DAD WENT UPSTAIRS TO THE ATTIC.
Bob: YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU FIRST WALK UP, YOU KIND OF GET THAT SMELL THAT FIRST HITS YOU -- THAT FEELING THAT, "THERE'S SOMETHING UP HERE.
" Stacy: WHEN MY DAD CALLED ME INTO THE ATTIC, I REALLY DIDN'T WAN TO GO UP THERE.
IT'S JUST CREEPY.
Bob: WE'VE HEARD STORIES ABOU A LITTLE BOY UP IN THE ATTIC.
HE HAD BEEN BAD AND WAS TAKEN UPSTAIRS TO BE PUNISHED.
Stacy: HE WAS KILLED UP THERE 'CAUSE HE WAS BEAT SO BADLY.
Bob: THE STORY THAT WE HEARD WAS, THEY BURNED THE BODY IN THE ATTIC TO HIDE THE EVIDENCE.
WE WEREN'T TOO SURE ABOUT THIS STORY WHEN WE FIRST HEARD IT, BUT I SAW BURNT RAFTERS AND BURNT BEAMS AND STUFF ON THE CEILING.
WE JUST STARTED SNAPPING SOME PICTURES, MAINLY JUST TO DOCUMENT THAT, YOU KNOW, THIS IS WHAT WE'RE DOING, THIS IS WHERE WE'RE AT.
WE'RE NOTICING ORBS IN THE PICTURE.
THEY WERE BY STACY, AND JUST FROM MY PAS EXPERIENCES, I WAS LIKE, "OKAY, SOMETHING'S GETTING READY TO HAPPEN.
" Stacy: SO, DAD DECIDED TO PU A CAMERA UP THERE.
AND IT WAS FACING A BANISTER.
WE CATCH THIS SHADOW GOING ACROSS THE BANISTER.
I WAS LIKE, "OH, MY GOSH.
THAT'S THE LITTLE BOY.
" Bob: IT'S JUST OVERWHELMING TO THINK THAT, "OKAY, ALL THESE STORIES WE HEAR -- "WE'RE STARTING TO GE SOME PROOF THAT THERE IS SOMETHING ACTUALLY GOING ON UP THERE.
" YOU DON'T NEED TO BE AFRAID OF US.
WE'RE NOT HERE TO HURT YOU.
Stacy: SO, MY DAD WAS TRYING TO GET THIS LITTLE BOY TO COME OUT, AND NOTHING WAS HAPPENING.
Bob: STACY WAS SITTING IN THE CORNER WHERE SUPPOSEDLY THE BODY WAS BURNED AND ALL THIS HAD HAPPENED.
Stacy: WHAT'S YOUR NAME? I'M JUST ASKING SIMPLE QUESTIONS, TRYING TO COMMUNICATE WITH THE LITTLE BOY.
IT SAID, "YES.
" Bob: AND THEN THE ATTIC JUST GOT REALLY DARK.
IT GOT THIS REAL HEAVY FEELING.
STACY JUMPS UP, SCREAMING.
SOMETHING HAD CAME UP TO HER AND TAKEN ITS HAND AND RUBBED I DOWN ACROSS HER HEAD AND KIND OF DOWN THE BACK OF HER HEAD A LITTLE BIT.
Stacy: I HAVE NEVER IN MY LIFE EXPERIENCED ANYTHING LIKE THAT.
I GOT UP AND JUST SHOO AND SCREAMED, RUNNING TO THE DOOR.
IT'S THE MOST SCARIEST FEELING YOU'LL EVER FEEL IN YOUR ENTIRE LIFE, KNOWING THAT THERE'S SOMETHING JUST TOUCHED YOU AND NOTHING'S THERE.
Bob: AND SO, AFTER THAT, WE GOT HER OUT OF THE ATTIC, GOT HER DOWNSTAIRS TO WHERE THINGS WOULD BE SAFE FOR HER AND EVERYTHING.
Stacy: I JUST REALLY WANTED TO LEAVE.
I JUST WANTED TO GO HOME.
AND THEN AS WE'RE PACKING UP AND LEAVING WE CATCH ANOTHER EVP SAYING, "LEAVE THE HOUSE.
" Bob: WE WERE TOLD TO GET OUT.
Stacy: OKAY.
THEY DO NOT WANT US TO BE THERE.
WE GOT TO GO.
Bob: WITH THE EXPERIENCES THAT HAPPENED TO STACY AND JUST THE EXPERIENCES THAT WE HAVE HAD IN THIS HOUSE, DO I THINK THAT THE OTHER SIDE CAN MAKE CONTACT WITH US? ABSOLUTELY, BECAUSE THEY HAVE WITH STACY.
Stacy: IT TOOK ME THREE DAYS TO GET OVER IT.
I JUST COULDN'T SLEEP.
IT'S LIKE HE WAS HAUNTING ME.
I JUST KEEP SEEING THIS BURNT FACE.
I HAVE RETURNED TO THE HANNAH HOUSE, BUT I REFUSE TO GO UP INTO THE ATTIC.
I JUST FEEL LIKE I'LL GET TOUCHED AGAIN.
AND JUST KNOWING HOW I FEL THE FIRST TIME, I'M NOT WILLING TO DEAL WITH IT ALL AGAIN.
THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE WHO ARE SKEPTICAL.
THEY DON'T BELIEVE ANYTHING THAT'S GOING ON IN THE HOUSE.
JUST WAIT.
WHEN YOU GO IN, YOU'LL SEE HOW IT FEELS.
Dershem: DOWN IN THE BASEMENT, WE FOUND AN APPARITION WALKING DOWN THE AISLEWAY.
Stephenson: YOU FEEL LIKE THERE'S A SPIRI WATCHING EVERY MOVE YOU MAKE.
RIGHT AFTER THAT, I JUST BLACKED OUT.
Dershem: YOU CAN FEEL SPIRITS IN THE STORE LIKE YOU WOULDN'T BELIEVE.
Stephenson: SHE WAS ATTACKED THERE.
IT PUNCHED HER.
IT SCRATCHED HER.
Dershem: WHEN BRIAN WENT DOWN TO THE BASEMENT, HE HAD NO IDEA WHAT HE WAS IN FOR.
MY GHOST STORY BEGAN WHEN I WEN TO THE BROWSE AWHILE BOOKSTORE IN TIPP CITY, OHIO.
I HEARD ABOUT BROWSE AWHILE BOOKS ABOUT FOUR YEARS AGO FROM SEVERAL ARTICLES ABOUT HAUNTINGS IN THE STORE, SO I CALLED THEM UP TO SEE IF I COULD CHECK IT OUT FOR MYSELF.
WHEN YOU WALK INTO THE STORE, YOU FEEL IMMEDIATE SUPPRESSION.
YOU CAN FEEL SPIRITS IN THIS STORE LIKE YOU WOULDN'T BELIEVE.
YOU CONSTANTLY HEAR WALKING DOWN THE HALLS, BOOKS BEING DROPPED.
THERE'S AUDIBLE VOICES ALL THE TIME IN THE STORE.
YOU HAVE INSTANCES WHERE THE EMPLOYEES WERE ASKED FOR A CERTAIN BOOK, AND THEY WOULDN'T FIND I THAT DAY.
BUT THEY WOULD COME IN THE NEXT MORNING AND THE BOOKS WOULD BE ON THE COUNTER WAITING FOR THEM.
I ASKED MY FRIEND BRIAN TO COME WITH ME ON A FEW OUTINGS TO SEE IF WE COULD CAPTURE ANYTHING, SEE WHAT HAPPENED.
Stephenson: I WAS INVITED TO GO AND INVESTIGATE AT BROWSE AWHILE.
WE GOT A LOT MORE THAN WE BARGAINED FOR.
Dershem: BROWSE AWHILE BOOKS WAS BUILT IN 1871.
IT'S TWO STORIES PLUS A FULL BASEMENT, WHICH IS HALF A CITY BLOCK LONG.
OVER THE YEARS, IT'S BEEN MANY BUSINESSES.
THE UPSTAIRS USED TO BE BARBER SHOPS.
THE DOWNSTAIRS HAS BEEN A BAKERY, A HARDWARE STORE, AND A FRONTIER TRADE STORE.
INSIDE IT HAS A WORLD HISTORY ROOM, A MYSTERY ROOM, A SCI-FI ROOM, A PARANORMAL SECTION.
BRIAN AND I WERE IN THE STORE ALONE ONE FRIDAY NIGHT.
A LOT OF ACTIVITY WAS GOING ON AROUND US.
WE ACTUALLY HEARD VOICES DOWN THE HALLWAY, FOOTSTEPS WALKING.
WE STARTED SNAPPING PICTURES AND ACTUALLY CAPTURED AN APPARITION IN A TOP HAT.
WE BELIEVE THAT SAMUEL BALDWIN ONCE WORKED AT BROWSE AWHILE BOOKS WHEN IT WAS A HARDWARE SHOP.
HE WORKED THERE FOR 45 YEARS, AND ON HIS LAST DAY HE DIED OF A HEART ATTACK IN THE STORE.
ONE PHOTO WAS IN THE COOKBOOK AREA.
WE BELIEVE IT'S SAMUEL BECAUSE IN THAT TIME PEOPLE WORE TOP HATS.
AND THEN THE OTHER ONE WAS IN THE SCI-FI ROOM.
IT LOOKED LIKE HE WAS PEERING AROUND A BOOKSHELF.
Stephenson: ONCE WE SEEN THE PICTURE WITH SAMUEL AND THE TOP HA STANDING NEXT TO THE RACK, WE THOUGHT IT WAS PRETTY COMPELLING EVIDENCE.
Dershem: AFTER THAT, WE WENT TO THE MYSTERY ROOM.
WE BELIEVE THAT THERE IS A VERY UPSET SPIRIT IN THIS AREA.
Stephenson: ONE NIGHT, A FRIEND OF MINE WAS INVESTIGATING THE MYSTERY SECTION AT BROWSE AWHILE BOOKS.
SHE WAS ATTACKED THERE.
IT PUNCHED HER.
IT SCRATCHED HER.
SHE ACTUALLY TOOK PHOTOS RIGHT THERE ON THE SCENE.
YOU COULD SEE THE WELTS WHERE IT PUNCHED HER, AND YOU COULD SEE THE SCRATCH MARKS ACROSS HER BACK.
AND IT'S PRETTY NASTY-LOOKING.
THOSE PICTURES INSTILLED A LOT MORE FEAR IN ME GOING BACK INTO THAT AREA AGAIN.
Dershem: COME ON.
THIS WAY.
OVER THE YEARS, I HAVE HEARD PEOPLE SPECULATE THAT CANINES ARE GOOD WITH GHOSTS -- THAT THEY CAN DETECT THEM.
SO I WANTED TO TRY THIS OU FOR MYSELF.
I BROUGHT MY DOG INTO THE BOOKSTORE.
I JUST WANTED TO SEE HOW HIS REACTIONS WERE.
MY DOG WAS HAPPILY WALKING AROUND THE BOOKSTORE.
BUT ONCE HE CAME TO THE BASEMENT, HE HALTED, HE WOULD NOT MOVE, HE STIFFENED UP, PUT HIS TAIL IN BETWEEN HIS LEGS, AND HE WOULD ABSOLUTELY NOT GO TO THE BASEMENT.
-Woman: MNH-MNH.
-Dershem: COME ON.
THE BASEMEN OF BROWSE AWHILE BOOKS IS ONE OF THE MOST SCARIES PARTS OF THE BUILDING.
AS YOU'RE WALKING DOWN, YOU CAN ACTUALLY FEEL ON EDGE, LIKE SOMETHING COULD BE READY TO JUMP OUT AT YOU.
Stephenson: THE AIR IS VERY, VERY HEAVY.
THERE'S HIGH ENERGY LEVELS IN THE BASEMENT.
IT MAKES YOU FEEL NAUSEOUS AND SICK TO YOUR STOMACH WHEN YOU'RE DOWN THERE.
YOU FEEL LIKE SOMEBODY IS FOLLOWING YOU.
THERE'S A SPIRI CONSTANTLY BEHIND YOU WATCHING EVERY MOVE YOU MAKE.
Dershem: WE WERE GETTING READY TO CHECK OUR CAMERAS THAT WE SET UP FOR THE NIGHT.
WE FELT ELECTRICITY IN THE AIR, AND WE THOUGHT NOTHING OF I UNTIL WE WENT BACK AND REVIEWED THE EVIDENCE AND FOUND AN APPARITION WALKING DOWN THE AISLEWAY.
THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME I HAVE EVER CAPTURED A VIDEO OF A GHOST ON SCREEN.
I WAS VERY SHOCKED, AMAZED.
WE COULDN'T BELIEVE OUR EYES.
WHEN BRIAN DECIDED TO GO DOWN TO THE BASEMENT BY HIMSELF, HE HAD NO IDEA WHAT HE WAS IN FOR.
IT TOOK HIM BY SURPRISE.
Stephenson: I WAS RELAXED, YOU KNOW, JUST QUIET, JUST STARTED THE RECORDER TO GET SOME EVP WORK DONE.
I FELT SOMETHING GRAB MY NECKLACE AND WAS PULLING IT UP FROM BEHIND ME.
SO, OF COURSE WHEN THAT HAPPENED, MY HEART RACED AND I FLEW UP THOSE STEPS.
IT SCARED THE LIFE OUT OF ME.
Dershem: WHEN BRIAN CAME BACK UP FROM THE BASEMENT, HE SEEMED OUT OF IT -- LIKE HE WASN'T HIMSELF.
Stephenson: I STARTED GETTING PAIN KIND OF IN MY RIGHT SHOULDER.
AND ALLEN WAS ASKING ME IF I WAS OKAY.
"NO, IT'S LIKE SOMETHING'S SQUEEZING MY RIGHT SIDE," IS WHAT IT FELT LIKE.
I COULD NOT ANSWER ALLEN OR ANYTHING.
I WAS JUST TOTALLY UNRESPONSIVE.
RIGHT AFTER THAT, I JUST BLACKED OUT.
I DID NOT REMEMBER ANY OF THAT AT ALL.
Dershem: BRIAN DIDN'T WAN TO GO GET ANY EQUIPMENT.
HE WAS DONE FOR THE NIGHT.
Stephenson: SOMETHING WAS THERE.
IT JUST COMPLETELY TOOK CONTROL OF MY SENSES -- ALL OF IT.
IT'S SOMETHING I NEVER WAN TO EXPERIENCE AGAIN.
FOR THE ENTIRE WEEK AFTER THAT NIGHT, IT'S ALMOST LIKE A SPIRI HAD TAKEN OVER MY BODY AND DRAINED ALL THE LIFE OUT OF ME.
Dershem: BRIAN WAS VERY UPSE ALL WEEK, ON EDGE.
Stephenson: IT SCARED ME.
IT WAS A VERY SCARY EXPERIENCE.
Dershem: OVER THE YEARS, A LOT OF GHOSTS HAVE APPEARED AT BROWSE AWHILE BOOKS.
A LOT OF AUDIBLE SOUNDS.
A LOT OF PHOTO EVIDENCE.
WHAT HAPPENED TO BRIAN WAS VERY SHOCKING, BUT I LIKE THE STORE MYSELF.
IT'S AN AWESOME PLACE TO GO.
IT'S AN AWESOME PLACE TO VISIT.
Stephenson: SINCE I'VE BEEN INVESTIGATING, ESPECIALLY A BROWSE AWHILE BOOKS, I'VE GATHERED A LOT OF CONCRETE PROOF OF LIFE AFTER DEATH, WHETHER IT WAS PREVIOUS PEOPLE LIVING OR SOMETHING DEMONIC.
THERE'S FORCES THAT'S BEYOND OUR CONTROL, AND YOU DEFINITELY SHOULD NOT GO INTO THE PARANORMAL BY YOURSELF.
YOU SHOULD ALWAYS HAVE BACKUP WITH YOU.
