My Ghost Story (2010) s04e11 Episode Script

Boston: I WAS STUNNED.
CHILLS WENT THROUGH MY BODY.
A SHADOW OF AN APPARITION WAS BLOCKING OUT A STREETLIGHT.
I WAS LITERALLY SPEECHLESS.
Austin: IT WAS THE FREAKIES THING I'VE EVER FELT.
"THE SPIRITS ARE ALREADY SHOWING THEMSELVES.
WE'VE ONLY BEEN HERE FIVE MINUTES.
" Ganiy: I SAW SOMETHING BACK IN THAT HOUSE.
"OH, MY GOD.
" IT'S A GUY LOOKING AT US FROM THAT ROOM.
Payne: I FELT SOMETHING PULL MY HAND RIGHT OUT AND GRAB MY FEET.
Arany: THIS SPIRI DOES NOT WANT TO LEAVE.
IT REALLY WANTS TO BE AROUND HER AND HER FAMILY.
Strickland: WE HEARD THIS EVIL LAUGH.
THAT IS DEFINITE PROOF THAT THERE'S SOMETHING ON THE OTHER SIDE.
Boston: IMMEDIATELY I COULD TELL SOMETHING WAS THERE.
Peters: THIS SPIRIT ACTUALLY DISAPPEARED AS IF IT DIDN'T WAN TO BE THERE.
IT WAS SCARY.
Peters: MY GHOST STORY BEGAN WHEN I PURCHASED THE WALKING HORSE HOTEL IN WARTRACE, TENNESSEE.
MY WIFE, CHAIS, HAD A VERY, VERY UNIQUE PERSONALITY.
CHAIS AND I WERE MARRIED FOR 26 YEARS.
ONE PARTICULAR DAY, CHAIS ASKED TO GO FOR A RIDE IN THE CAR, AND IRONICALLY WE STOPPED IN FRONT OF THE HOTEL.
WHEN CHAIS INITIALLY SAW THE WALKING HORSE HOTEL, THERE WAS AN IMMEDIATE AFFINITY FOR THE BUILDING.
10 DAYS LATER, SHE PASSED AWAY.
CHAIS WAS DIAGNOSED WITH CANCER IN SEPTEMBER OF 2006, AND SHE PASSED AWAY IN MARCH OF 2007.
WHEN I VISITED THE HOTEL -- AND I REMEMBERED THE CONVERSATION THAT CHAIS AND I HAD FOUR MONTHS EARLIER -- AT THAT POINT, THE BUILDING, JUST AS IT HAD BECKONED HER, IT ALSO BECKONED ME.
FOUR MONTHS LATER, I PURCHASED THE HOTEL TO BRING HER INSIDE IN SPIRIT.
THE WALKING HORSE HOTEL WAS ORIGINALLY THE OVERALL HOTEL, NAMED AFTER ROBERT OVERALL.
AND IT WAS BASICALLY A STOPPING POIN FOR RAILROAD WORKERS AND GUESTS COMING THROUGH TOWN.
THE SECOND OWNERS OF THE HOTEL WERE FLOYD AND OLIVE CAROTHERS.
FLOYD CAROTHERS WAS A VERY PROMINENT WALKING HORSE TRAINER IN THAT DAY.
AND FLOYD AND A GENTLEMAN NAMED HENRY DAVIS ACTUALLY PARTNERED TOGETHER, AND THEY HAD HEARD ABOU A HORSE NAMED STROLLING JIM.
SO, FLOYD AND MR.
DAVIS BROUGHT HIM BACK TO THE HOTEL, WHERE FLOYD TRAINED HIM.
STROLLING JIM THEN BECAME THE FIRST-EVER WORLD GRAND CHAMPION TENNESSEE WALKING HORSE.
TODAY THE WALKING HORSE HOTEL IS STILL A FUNCTIONING HOTEL.
WE HAVE CHAIS MUSIC HALL, WHICH IS OUR STATE-OF-THE-AR MUSIC VENUE.
PRIOR TO CHAIS' DEATH, WE TALKED A LO ABOUT WHAT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN AFTER SHE WAS ACTUALLY GONE.
AND ONE OF THE THINGS THAT SHE SAID REPEATEDLY WAS, "IF I CAN COME BACK, I WILL.
" WITHIN DAYS OF MY PURCHASING THE WALKING HORSE HOTEL, RESIDENTS BEGAN TO APPROACH US AND TELL US THEIR STORIES.
WE WERE PROVIDED A PHOTOGRAPH THAT WAS TAKEN ALONG THE OUTSIDE OF OUR BUILDING THAT CAPTURES A CLEAR SILHOUETTE OF WHAT APPEARS TO BE A WOMAN.
YOU CAN SEE A HAIRLINE.
YOU CAN SEE EYES, A FACE, AND A BODY.
I CAN'T EXPLAIN WHAT THAT REPRESENTS.
HOWEVER, THE FACT THAT IT WAS THERE IS QUITE INTERESTING.
THE EVPs THAT HAVE BEEN CAPTURED IN THE HOTEL COVER A VARIETY OF PERSONALITIES.
THE MOST INTERESTING TO ME ARE THAT OF CHILDREN.
THERE'S ONE WHERE YOU ACTUALLY HEAR A CHILD SAY, "WHOOPIE," AS IF THEY'RE PLAYING.
ANOTHER ONE THAT WAS CAPTURED IS INVESTIGATORS WERE REFERENCING CHEESE DOODLES, AND YOU HEAR A CHILD'S VOICE SAY, "I WANT MORE.
" HAVING CHILDREN'S SPIRITS IN THE HOTEL, FOR ME, IS WONDERFUL.
WE'RE CERTAINLY MORE THAN HAPPY TO LISTEN.
WE HAD HAD A NUMBER OF PARANORMAL INVESTIGATORS COME TO THE HOTEL, AND ONE OF WHICH I ME NAMED BRANDON BOSTON.
Boston: I HEARD THE WALKING HORSE HOTEL WAS HAUNTED, SO I WANTED TO CHECK IT OUT.
WHEN I FIRST SEEN THE BUILDING, IT KIND OF GIVES THAT CREEPY EFFECT.
FROM OUTSIDE IT'S THIS OLD, YOU KNOW, RAN-DOWN-LOOKING BUILDING.
BUT ONCE YOU WALK IN THE DOOR, THE ATMOSPHERE CHANGES.
IMMEDIATELY I COULD TELL SOMETHING WAS THERE.
I CONSTANTLY FEL LIKE SOMEONE WAS LOOKING AT ME, AND YOU KNEW SOMETHING'S THERE.
Peters: ONE NIGH I WAS IN THE MUSIC HALL ON CHAIS' BIRTHDAY AFTER SHE PASSED AWAY AND, OF COURSE, WISHED HER A HAPPY BIRTHDAY AND TOLD HER HOW MUCH I LOVED HER AND HOW MUCH I MISSED HER.
AT THAT POINT, MY ENTIRE BODY BECAME EXTREMELY WARM AS IF SOMETHING WAS THERE WITH ME.
AND IN MY MIND, THAT WAS CHAIS.
BRANDON ACTUALLY ASKED QUESTIONS OF CHAIS.
AND THEY CAPTURED AN EVP THAT ANSWERED VERY CLEARLY, "TELL HIM THAT I KNOW.
" HEARING AN EVP THAT WAS DIRECTLY RELATED TO QUESTIONS THAT WERE BEING ASKED OF CHAIS, TO ME, WAS AMAZING.
IT GAVE ME AN INCREDIBLE FEELING.
Boston: I KNOW HOW MUCH THAT EVP MEANT TO JOE.
I DO BELIEVE THAT GOD ALLOWED HER TO RETURN FOR THAT MOMEN TO CONNECT WITH JOE BECAUSE HOW MUCH THAT MEANT TO HIM.
AND I TRULY BELIEVE THAT THAT WAS HER.
THE MOST SHOCKING EXPERIENCE I'VE HAD AT THE HOTEL IS WHEN I HEARD A HORSE IN THE PARKING LOT.
ME AND A FELLOW INVESTIGATOR WERE GETTING INTO MY CAR, AND I HEARD A HORSE NEIGH.
[ HORSE NEIGHS .]
IMMEDIATELY WE BOTH JUMPED UP IN SHOCK OF WHAT WE HEARD BECAUSE WE COULD SEE NOTHING WAS THERE.
AND I WAS LITERALLY SPEECHLESS.
Peters: WHEN BRANDON EXPLAINED TO ME WHAT HE HAD ENCOUNTERED IN THE PARKING LOT, IT DID MAKE SENSE BECAUSE STROLLING JIM WAS BURIED LESS THAN 100 YARDS AWAY FROM WHERE BRANDON HAD THIS ENCOUNTER.
Boston: JOE SENT ME AN AMAZING EVP.
THE THING THAT SHOCKED ME ABOUT THE EVP WAS IT WAS VERY SIMILAR TO WHA I HEARD IN THE PARKING LOT.
Peters: IT WOULD CERTAINLY MAKE SENSE THAT IF A SPIRI OF AN ANIMAL'S GOING TO RETURN, WHY WOULDN'T I RETURN TO ITS HOME? Boston: LATER THAT NIGHT, I WENT UP TO THE THIRD FLOOR.
WHEN YOU'RE WALKING ON THE THIRD FLOOR, YOU CONSTANTLY FEEL A PRESSURE BEARING DOWN ON YOU.
YOU FEEL MULTIPLE EYES ON YOU AT ALL TIMES, AND YOU FEEL LIKE SOMETHING'S GONNA REACH OU AND GRAB YOU AT ANY MOMENT.
AS MY BUDDIES WERE VIDEOTAPING THE ENTRANCE, I WAS RUNNING AN EVP SESSION.
I WAS PLAYING BACK MY VOICE RECORDER AT THE END OF THE NIGHT.
THAT'S WHEN I HEARD A WOMAN IN DISTRESS SCREAM, "OH, GOD, PLEASE HELP ME.
" I WAS STUNNED.
CHILLS WENT THROUGH MY BODY.
THE DISTRESS IN HER VOICE WAS PROBABLY THE THING THAT SHOOK ME THE MOST.
Peters: HEARING AN EVP OF SOMEONE IN DISTRESS THAT YOU CAN'T SEE CAUSES YOU TO WONDER WHAT'S HAPPENING WITHIN THE HOTEL WALLS.
IT WAS SCARY.
Boston: LATER ON IN THE EVENING, A COUPLE OF MEMBERS OF MY GROUP WERE AT THE BACK END OF THE HALLWAY ON THE THIRD FLOOR.
THEY WERE SETTING UP THE CAMERAS WHEN ALL OF THE SUDDEN, THEY CAPTURED A SHADOW OF AN APPARITION.
ON THE VIDEO, YOU SEE ONE OF MY MEMBERS WALKING DOWN THE HALLWAY WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN, A SHADOW MOVES THAT WAS BLOCKING OU A STREETLIGH THAT YOU CAN SEE THROUGH THE WINDOW AT THE OTHER END OF THE HALL.
Peters: THE VIDEO ON THE THIRD FLOOR THAT BRANDON'S TEAM CAPTURED IS VERY UNIQUE IN THE SENSE THAT WHEN APPROACHED BY SOMEONE, THIS SHADOW OR SPIRI ACTUALLY DISAPPEARED AS IF IT DIDN'T WAN TO BE THERE.
Boston: WE KNOW THAT THERE'S A LOT OF SPIRITS ON THE THIRD FLOOR.
BUT TO ACTUALLY CAPTURE SOMETHING ON VIDEO THAT YOU SEE AND YOU HAVE PROOF OF, IT'S A PRETTY FREAKY FEELING.
Peters: IN MY OPINION, WHAT'S BEEN CAPTURED INSIDE THE WALKING HORSE HOTEL CERTAINLY INDICATE THAT THERE ARE SPIRITS INSIDE THE BUILDING.
Boston: WITH EVERYTHING I'VE SEEN AND ALL THE EVIDENCE THAT WAS CAPTURED, WITHOUT A SHADOW OF A DOUBT, THE WALKING HORSE HOTEL IS THE MOST HAUNTED PLACE I'VE EVER BEEN.
Peters: JUST KNOWING THAT CHAIS' SPIRI IS WITH ME INSIDE THE WALKING HORSE HOTEL GIVES ME A TREMENDOUS FEELING OF COMFORT.
WE WERE TOGETHER FOR 26 YEARS, AND AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED, AS LONG AS I OWN THE WALKING HORSE HOTEL, CHAIS WILL BE THERE WITH ME.
[ ROCKS CLANGING .]
Ganiy: HE STALKS THE TRAIN TRACKS LOOKING FOR HIS HEAD.
THE LIGHT YOU SEE IS HIS LANTERN.
THERE.
THERE.
IT FREAKED ME OUT SO BAD.
IT LOOKS LIKE A DEMONIC PRESENCE.
Ganiy: I JUST KEPT FEELING LIKE SOMEBODY WAS WATCHING US.
IT LOOKS LIKE A DEMONIC PRESENCE.
SCARED THE LIVING DAYLIGHTS OUT OF ME.
WE JUST WANTED TO GET OU OF THERE AS FAST AS WE COULD.
MY GHOST STORY BEGAN WHEN I SAW THE GHOSTLY COHOKE LIGHTS IN VIRGINIA.
THE COHOKE LEGEND IS THAT MORE THAN A CENTURY AGO, THERE WAS A BRAKE MAN WHO WAS FIXING THE BRAKES ON ONE OF THE TRAINS.
AND THE TRAIN MOVED SUDDENLY AND DECAPITATED HIM IN THE PROCESS.
SO, THE LEGEND GOES THAT HE STALKS THE TRAIN TRACKS AT THIS INTERSECTION AND THAT THE LIGHT YOU SEE IS HIS LANTERN AND HE'S LOOKING FOR HIS HEAD.
BUT APPARENTLY THEY CAN BE VERY FRIGHTENING, THESE LIGHTS.
THEY'VE BEEN KNOWN TO BECOME VERY, VERY BRIGH AND ACTUALLY DISINTEGRATE WHEN AN OBJECT IS ON THE TRACKS, LIKE A PERSON, AND THEN RE-FORM BEHIND THEM.
I WAS TAKING A TRIP TO VIRGINIA TO VISIT MY FRIEND.
SHE MENTIONED THA THERE WERE THESE GHOST LIGHTS THAT APPEAR ALONG THE RAILROAD TRACKS A COUPLE BLOCKS FROM HER HOUSE.
-Robin: HEY.
-Ganiy: [ LAUGHS .]
WHEN I FIRST GOT THERE, ROBIN SAID SHE'D HEARD ABOUT THIS REALLY CREEPY ABANDONED HOUSE THAT WAS VERY CLOSE TO THE COHOKE CROSSING.
SUPPOSEDLY WHEN THE HOUSE WAS INHABITED, THE PERSON WHO LIVED THERE CLAIMED THAT THESE LIGHTS WOULD COME RIGHT UP ONTO THEIR PORCH.
AND SO, WE WERE VERY KEEN TO CHECK THIS OUT.
WE GOT OUT OF THE CAR, AND WE WALKED THROUGH TANGLED VINES AND DEAD BRANCHES AND POISON OAK.
THE HOUSE LOOKS LIKE SOMETHING FROM "THE BLAIR WITCH.
" THE WALLS WERE FALLING AND CRUMBLING DOWN.
IT WAS A VERY MENACING ATMOSPHERE.
THE STAIRS WERE STILL THERE, BU THEY WERE ABOUT TO FALL APART.
AND I JUST KEPT FEELING LIKE SOMEBODY WAS WATCHING US.
I HAD MY TAPE RECORDER.
HELLO? WE WERE ADDRESSING WHATEVER MIGHT BE THERE.
IS THERE ANYBODY HERE? ROBIN GOT REALLY QUIET.
SHE LOOKED A LITTLE BIT FREAKED OUT, BUT SHE DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING TO ME.
CAN YOU TELL US YOUR NAME? SHE STOPPED LOOKING AT ME, AND SHE WAS LOOKING OVER MY SHOULDER.
AND SHE SEEMED PERPLEXED AND FRIGHTENED.
DO YOU KNOW YOU'RE DEAD? WE HADN'T SPENT MORE THAN 10 MINUTES IN THIS PLACE, BUT WE WEREN'T FEELING VERY COMFORTABLE, SO WE DECIDED TO LEAVE.
WHEN WE GOT BACK IN THE CAR, SHE SAID TO ME, "YOU KNOW, I THOUGHT I SAW SOMETHING BACK IN THAT HOUSE.
" I SAID, "WHAT DO YOU MEAN?" AND SHE SAID, "YOU KNOW, I THOUGHT I SAW SOMETHING MOVE BEHIND YOU.
" AND SINCE I'D BEEN TAKING PICTURES, I LOOKED DOWN AT MY PHOTOS ON MY PHONE.
AND THIS PHOTO JUST JUMPED OUT AT ME.
IT FREAKED ME OUT SO BAD THAT I DROPPED THE PHONE.
I DIDN'T EVEN WAN TO BE HOLDING IT.
THAT'S HOW FREAKED OUT I WAS WHEN I SAW THAT PHOTO.
I PICKED THE PHONE BACK UP, I LOOKED AT IT AGAIN, AND I'M LIKE, "OH, MY GOD.
" IT'S A GUY LOOKING AT US FROM THAT ROOM WHERE SHE SAW THE MOVEMENT.
SHE GOT REALLY FREAKED OUT.
IT LOOKS LIKE A DEMONIC PRESENCE PEAKING OUT OF THE ROOM LIKE THIS.
SCARED THE LIVING DAYLIGHTS OUT OF ME.
THE HAIR STOOD UP ON THE BACK OF BOTH OUR NECKS, AND WE JUST WANTED TO GET OU OF THERE AS FAST AS WE COULD.
AND THEN AS WE WERE TRYING TO PULL OUT OF THERE, I TOOK A PICTURE OUT MY WINDOW.
[ CAMERA SHUTTER SNAPS .]
-AND I CAPTURED THIS ODD MIST.
IT WAS A BRIGHT, SUNSHINY DAY.
THERE WAS NO FOG.
NOBODY WAS SMOKING.
AND IT ACTUALLY LOOKS LIKE A HUMAN SHAPE, AND IT'S FORMING BEHIND THE FENCE.
THAT'S HOW I KNOW THAT IT WASN' ON MY LENS OR ANYTHING.
AFTER ALL OF THIS HAPPENED, WE WERE QUESTIONING OUR JUDGMEN IN GOING INTO THE HOUSE IN THE FIRST PLACE.
WE WERE HOPING THAT SOMETHING EVIL AND NEGATIVE DIDN'T FOLLOW US HOME.
AND WE WERE ALSO WONDERING WHAT ALL THIS HAS TO DO WITH THE COHOKE LIGHTS.
AROUND 11:00, WE GOT IN THE CAR TO GO OU TO THE COHOKE CROSSING.
ROBIN -- I WAS SURPRISED THAT SHE WAS ACCOMPANYING ME BECAUSE SHE WAS SPOOKED EARLIER IN THE DAY WHEN WE WEN TO THE ABANDONED HOUSE.
IT'S A LONG COUNTRY ROAD IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE.
THERE'S A LITTLE BI OF A CLEARING IN THE WOODS, AND THEN ALL OF THE SUDDEN, YOU COME ON THESE RAILROAD TRACKS.
[ GEAR SHIFT CRANKS .]
[ CAR DOOR BEEPS .]
WE GET OUT OF THE CAR.
-Robin: CAREFUL OVER HERE.
-Ganiy: ALL RIGHT.
AND IT WAS PITCH-BLACK.
I'M NOT KIDDING.
YOU COULDN'T SEE YOUR HAND IN FRONT OF YOUR FACE THAT NIGHT.
[ GRAVEL CRUNCHES .]
-Robin: WHOO! -Ganiy: OH, UM Robin: HERE.
Ganiy: AND THERE'S THIS MENACING WOODS ON EITHER SIDE OF THE TRACKS WHICH JUST DISAPPEARED INTO BLACK NOTHINGNESS.
EVEN IF NOTHING HAPPENED, JUST BEING OUT THERE WAS CREEPY.
SO OUR ANXIETY AND OUR FEAR WERE AMPED UP.
Robin: READY? Ganiy: THE LEGEND GOES THAT IF YOU TAKE A ROCK AND YOU HIT THE RAILROAD TRACKS WITH THE ROCK FIVE TIMES, THIS SUPPOSEDLY CALLS THE LIGHTS.
-1, 2, 3.
[ ROCKS CLANG .]
IT'S SILENT, AND YOU JUST HEAR THIS ROCK SOUND ECHOING OFF THE METAL TRACKS INTO THE DARK VOID.
AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN, WE HEARD THE MOST BIZARRE, SCARY SOUND I'VE EVER HEARD.
[ SCREECHING .]
IT SOUNDED LIKE THIS SCREAMING, SCREECHING, MONSTROUS NOISE COMING FROM SOMEWHERE IN THE WOODS.
THE HAIR STOOD UP ON THE BACK OF MY NECK.
I'M JUST LIKE, "WHAT IS THAT?" -THERE IT IS.
-Robin: OH, MY GOD.
Ganiy: AND THEN THESE LIGHTS JUST APPEARED.
-THERE.
THERE.
-Robin: LOOK, LOOK, LOOK.
SEE IT? Ganiy: THAT WAS ACTUALLY A BIT FRIGHTENING BECAUSE THEN I THOUGHT, "WELL, HOW MUCH CLOSER ARE THEY GONNA GET?" THEY JUST FORMED OUT OF NOWHERE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE TRACKS ALMOST LIKE THEY WERE INTERACTING WITH US.
ROBIN WAS JUST AS SHOCKED AS I WAS.
SHE WAS READY TO BOLT FOR THE CAR.
IT WAS DEFINITELY CREEPY.
IT'S CLEAR, AND YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS.
IT'S REALLY WEIRD.
I WAS SHOCKED TO SEE THAT I DID ACTUALLY GET IT.
IT WAS THE MOST SERIOUSLY AMAZING, UNEXPLAINED MOMENTS OF MY LIFE.
I HAVE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THA THAT WAS RIGHT THERE IN MY FACE THAT I COULDN'T EXPLAIN.
AFTER I WEN TO THE CREEPY ABANDONED HOUSE CAPTURED PHOTOS OF THE DEMONIC PRESENCE [ CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS .]
-AND THE ODD MIST Robin: OH, MY GOD.
Ganiy: AND SEEN THE BRAKE MAN'S LANTERN, I KNOW THAT THERE ARE DEFINITELY THINGS IN THIS WORLD THAT WE CANNOT EXPLAIN.
AND I WAS WITNESS TO ONE OF THEM RIGHT THERE IN FRONT OF MY FACE.
I DEFY ANYBODY TO EXPLAIN WHAT I SAW IN RATIONAL TERMS BECAUSE I CAN'T.
PEOPLE WHO ARE SKEPTICAL SHOULD VISI THE COHOKE LIGHTS CROSSING.
IF YOU STAY THERE LONG ENOUGH, YOU'LL SEE.
AND THEN TELL ME YOU DON'T BELIEVE.
Payne: I WAS WORRIED IF IT WAS SOMETHING EVIL IN MY HOUSE.
[ DOOR SLAMS .]
-SO I WAS VERY SCARED.
Arany: I REALLY DIDN'T THINK THERE WAS ANYTHING DOWN HERE OR ANYTHING TO BE CONCERNED ABOU UNTIL WE PLAYED BACK THE EVP.
Payne: IT GAVE ME CHILLS KNOWING THAT THERE IS SOMETHING IN MY HOUSE.
Arany: I DEFINITELY WAS NOT READY TO DEAL WITH SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
Payne: I WAS WORRIED IF IT WAS SOMETHING EVIL IN MY HOUSE, SO I WAS VERY SCARED.
IT GAVE ME CHILLS.
Arany: I DEFINITELY WAS NOT READY TO DEAL WITH SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
Payne: MY GHOST STORY BEGAN WHEN I MOVED INTO A HAUNTED HOUSE IN NORWOOD, OHIO.
AS SOON AS I WALKED INTO THE HOUSE, I STARTED FEELING VERY UNCOMFORTABLE.
I WAS HAVING HOT FLASHES.
I WAS DISORIENTED.
ACTUALLY, THE LANDLORD THERE WAS ASKING ME, "ARE YOU OKAY?" I SAID, "YEAH, I'M FINE.
" I WASN'T SURE WHAT WAS WRONG.
I DIDN'T THINK ANYTHING OF IT, OF COURSE.
WHEN I FIRST MOVED IN, I REALLY STARTED EXPERIENCING THINGS THINGS I COULDN'T EXPLAIN.
I WAS IN THE BATHROOM GETTING READY FOR WORK ONE MORNING.
NO ONE ELSE WAS THERE.
MY DAUGHTER WAS LAYING IN MY BED SLEEPING, AND I COULD HEAR SQUEAKING.
[ CREAKING .]
I LOOKED THROUGH THE MIRROR OF THE BATHROOM, AND I COULD SEE MY BEDROOM DOOR SHUTTING.
[ CREAKING .]
I TURNED AROUND, AND I COULD STILL SEE THE DOOR SHUTTING.
WHEN I WALKED UP TO THE BEDROOM DOOR, -THE DOOR SLAMMED IN MY FACE.
[ DOOR SLAMS .]
I JUST RAN DOWNSTAIRS LIKE, "WHAT IN THE WORLD JUST HAPPENED?" [ DOOR SLAMS .]
I WAS LAYING IN BED AT NIGHT, AND I'D KEEP HEARING LOUD BANGS THAT WOULD WAKE ME UP.
AND I'D BE STARTLED.
I WASN'T SLEEPING VERY WELL.
THEN I FELT SOMETHING, LIKE, PULL MY HAND RIGHT OU AND GRAB MY FEE LIKE IT WAS PULLING ON MY LEG.
I WAS WORRIED IF IT WAS SOMETHING EVIL IN MY HOUSE, AND I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT IT WAS.
SO I WAS VERY SCARED.
A COUPLE MONTHS LATER, EVERYTHING REALLY STARTED TO GET WORSE.
I WAS SLEEPING, AND THEN ALL OF THE SUDDEN, MY DAUGHTER SHOOTS UP FROM BED AND SCREAMS FOR MY SON, SCOTTY.
I AUTOMATICALLY PANICKED.
I RUN UPSTAIRS, AND HE IS NOT IN HIS BED.
I RUN DOWNSTAIRS, AND HE IS NOT DOWNSTAIRS.
I CALLED HIM, AND I SAID, "WHERE ARE YOU?" HE SAID, "I'M OUTSIDE.
"SOMETHING WAS HOLDING ME DOWN, AND SOMETHING PUNCHED ME.
" HE WAS PALE AS A GHOST.
AT THAT TIME IS WHEN I HAD ENOUGH.
I WAS WORKING, AND A CUSTOMER OF MINE CAME UP TO ME, AND HE SAID, "YOU LOOK TIRED.
WHAT'S WRONG?" AND I SAID, "I THINK MY HOUSE IS HAUNTED.
" AND HE SAID, "WELL, THERE'S BEEN AN INVESTIGATOR "THAT'S BEEN COMING TO MY WORK, AND MAYBE YOU COULD CONTACT HER.
" AND HE GAVE ME KELLIE'S INFORMATION.
Arany: MY FIRST CONVERSATION, SHE WAS PRETTY UPSET.
MICHELE HAS TRIED TO GET RID OF THE SPIRIT IN HER HOME, AND THIS SPIRI JUST DOES NOT WANT TO LEAVE.
IT REALLY WANTS TO BE AROUND HER AND HER FAMILY.
Payne: SHE MADE AN APPOINTMEN TO COME SEE ME RIGHT AWAY.
Arany: AND I WAS GONNA DO EVERYTHING I COULD TO HELP HER AND HER FAMILY.
WHEN YOU FIRST GET TO THE HOME, YOU REALLY DON'T NOTICE ANYTHING RIGHT OFF ABOUT IT BEING ODD UNTIL YOU WALK IN AND YOU FEEL THE UNEASINESS.
Payne: THE FIRST TIME SHE SHOWED UP AT MY HOUSE, SHE WAS AT MY HOUSE WITH A DIGITAL RECORDER.
SHE WENT TO THE BASEMENT FIRST.
I'VE ALWAYS BEEN AFRAID AND UNCOMFORTABLE TO GO IN OUR BASEMENT.
Arany: WE WALKED AROUND.
I JUST HAD THE DIGITAL RECORDER WITH ME.
WE WERE SAYING TO EACH OTHER WE REALLY DIDN'T THINK THERE WAS ANYTHING DOWN HERE OR ANYTHING TO BE CONCERNED ABOU UNTIL WE PLAYED BACK THE EVP FROM THE BASEMENT, AND WE CAUGHT THE LADY SAYING, "I DON'T THINK SO.
" AND IT SEEMED ALMOST LIKE IT WAS IN OUR CONVERSATION.
Payne: IT WAS REALLY A CREEPY FEELING.
IT GAVE ME CHILLS, KNOWING THA THERE IS SOMETHING IN MY HOUSE.
Arany: YEAH, THERE'S SOMETHING DOWN THERE AND PAY ATTENTION.
AS WE CAME UP FROM THE BASEMENT, WE WORKED OUR WAY UP INTO THE THIRD FLOOR WHERE MICHELE WAS HAVING A LOT OF ISSUES, AS WELL.
I DID A SHORT EVP SESSION IN HER MOTHER'S ROOM.
I CAUGHT ON THE DIGITAL RECORDER, "STAY BACK OVER HERE.
" Payne: WHEN SHE ACTUALLY GOT VOICES, I COULDN'T EVEN LISTEN TO THEM.
Arany: HAVING TWO EVPs IN ONE WALK-THROUGH WAS CONCERNING TO ME.
SOMETHING WAS DEFINITELY NOT HAPPY ABOUT ME BEING THERE OR ASKING QUESTIONS.
Payne: ME AND MY SON WERE BOTH REALLY SCARED BECAUSE THEN WE REALLY KNEW THAT THERE WAS SOMETHING THERE.
Arany: AFTER ALREADY HAVING TWO EVPs IN THE BASEMEN AND THEN ON THE MIDDLE FLOOR, I KNEW I NEEDED TO STAR A FULL INVESTIGATION.
WE HEADED TO THE ATTIC TO SCOTT'S ROOM BECAUSE THAT'S WHO IT BOTHERED THE MOST.
AND WE SET UP TO HAVE A GHOST BOX SESSION AND DISCUSS WHAT THEY HAD BEEN FEELING.
Payne: I FELT HELPLESS.
I HAD NO CONTROL OF THE SITUATION.
I WANTED TO PROTECT MY SON.
MY BIGGEST FEAR WAS THAT MY SON'S GONNA GET POSSESSED BY THIS.
Arany: I WAS REALLY CREEPED OU BEING UP THERE AND FELT VERY UNCOMFORTABLE.
AFTER ASKING QUESTIONS, I KNEW I WAS GONNA HAVE EVPs FROM THAT ROOM.
Payne: I WAS TERRIFIED.
I WAS AFRAID OF WHAT IT WAS GONNA SAY.
Arany: AND THEN I HEARD THE, "HELP.
HELP.
" AND IT ALMOST SOUNDED LIKE A WOMAN'S VOICE WHICH SCARED ME BECAUSE IT WAS SAYING, "HELP.
HELP," AND I WASN'T SURE WHAT KIND OF HELP IT WAS NEEDING OR WHO IT NEEDED HELP FROM.
Payne: WHEN I HEARD THE SPIRI SAY "HELP.
HELP," THAT GAVE ME CHILLS.
THEY WEREN'T COMMUNICATING, LIKE, TO WHERE WE COULD UNDERSTAND THEM, SO I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT THE, "HELP.
HELP," MEANT.
Arany: YOU HEAR A SPIRIT ASK FOR HELP, YOU DEFINITELY WANT TO FIND OU WHAT TO DO TO HELP THEM.
LATER THAT NIGH AFTER ASKING QUESTIONS, I HAD THAT HEAVY FEELING THAT MAYBE A DEMONIC FORCE OR A NEGATIVE FORCE WAS TRYING TO ATTACH ITSELF TO SCOTT.
I THINK IT WAS AFRAID THAT WE WERE GOING TO TRY TO MAKE IT LEAVE, AND IT SEEMED LIKE THE MORE WE TALKED TO IT, THE MORE IT GOT UPSET AT SCOT UNTIL YOU HEARD, "SHUT UP, SCOTT!" Payne: I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT MY SON HAD DONE WRONG FOR THEM TO BE UPSET WITH HIM, AND I WAS AFRAID FOR HIS LIFE.
Arany: IT WANTED SCOT TO JUST STOP DISCUSSING WHAT WAS GOING ON IN THE HOUSE.
Payne: I WAS AFRAID SOMETHING AWFUL WAS GONNA HAPPEN.
Arany: AFTER OUR INITIAL INVESTIGATION, I WANTED TO SET UP A CAMERA WHILE SCOTT WAS IN THE HOME AND SLEEPING TO SEE IF WE WOULD CATCH ANYTHING.
SO WE SET UP TWO CAMERAS IN THE ATTIC, AND WE LET THEM RUN OVERNIGHT.
WE ALSO SET UP A MOTION DETECTOR IN THE ROOM THAT WOULD LIGHT UP IF ANYTHING HAD WALKED BY.
THE NEXT MORNING, I WENT OVER, AND I REVIEWED THE VIDEO FROM HIS ROOM.
AND THAT WAS WHEN I CAME ACROSS THE APPARITION.
I HAD TO SLOW IT DOWN A COUPLE TIMES TO MAKE SURE I WASN'T SEEING A BUG OR DUS OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.
Payne: WHEN I FIRST SEEN THE VIDEO, IT FREAKED ME OUT.
Arany: AFTER REVIEWING I AND SLOWING IT DOWN, PAUSING IT, YOU DO, AT A POINT, SEE IT COME FROM THE CLOSE ACROSS THE SCREEN.
Payne: IT'S MIND-BLOWING TO SEE THAT SOMETHING WAS ACTUALLY THERE.
Arany: I DEFINITELY WAS NOT READY TO DEAL WITH SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
Payne: IT WAS SCARY TO KNOW IF THE SPIRIT WAS HAUNTING MY SON.
Arany: AFTER HEARING ALL THE DIGITAL RECORDINGS THAT I HAD AND SEEING ALL VIDEO THAT I HAD Payne: I DEFINITELY BELIEVE THA THERE'S SOMETHING OUT THERE [ DOOR SLAMS .]
THAT I CAN'T EXPLAIN, NOR CAN I SEE.
BUT I DEFINITELY BELIEVE THAT THERE'S SOMETHING OUT THERE BESIDES US.
DuMontelle: WE IMMEDIATELY START FEELING UNEASY.
I WAS JUST SHOCKED TO HEAR THIS VOICE.
I'M LIKE, "AM I REALLY HEARING THIS?" Austin: IT CREEPS ME OUT TO THIS DAY, THINKING VICKI AND I WERE IN THE HOUSE ALONE WITH THIS SPIRIT.
Austin: IT WAS THE FREAKIES THING I'VE EVER FELT -- BONE-CHILLING COLD.
IT'S LIKE THE SPIRIT WAS RIGHT THERE.
DuMontelle: IT REALLY SCARED ME.
I WASN'T EXPECTING THA WHATSOEVER.
Austin: THIS PLACE IS DEFINITELY HAUNTED.
MY GHOST STORY BEGAN WHEN MY FRIEND AND I SPENT THE NIGH IN THE VIRGIL HICKOX HOUSE IN SPRINGFIELD, ILLINOIS.
DuMontelle: I'VE KNOWN TRISH NOW FOR ABOUT TWO YEARS.
AND WE HAD HEARD THAT THE VIRGIL HICKOX HOME WAS HAUNTED.
SO WE GOT IN CONTAC WITH THE OWNER, AND HE WAS VERY GRACIOUS TO LET US INVESTIGATE.
THE HOME WAS BUILT IN 1839 FOR VIRGIL HICKOX AND HIS FAMILY.
HE WAS A VERY AFFLUENT CITIZEN OF SPRINGFIELD, ILLINOIS, AND FRIENDS WITH ABRAHAM LINCOLN.
AND THE FAMILY LIVED THERE TILL HIS DEATH IN 1880.
IT IS WIDELY BELIEVED THAT THERE ARE SEVERAL SPIRTS THAT INHABIT THE HOME, SPECIFICALLY THIS LITTLE GIRL, 10 YEARS OLD, NAMED ALICE.
AND SHE WAS PAR OF THE HICKOX FAMILY.
AS WE WALKED INTO THE HOUSE, WE IMMEDIATELY START FEEING UNEASY.
Austin: IT JUST SEEMED REALLY QUIET.
TO ME, IT WAS TOO QUIET.
JUST AN EERIE SILENCE IN THE HOUSE.
DuMontelle: IT'S VERY CREEPY AT NIGHTTIME ESPECIALLY THERE'S A STAIRCASE AS YOU WALK IN, AND YOU LOOK UPSTAIRS TO THAT SECOND FLOOR -- IT IS JUST SO PITCH-BLACK.
VERY INTIMIDATING.
I KEPT THINKING TO MYSELF, "CAN I DO THIS, JUST THE TWO OF US?" Austin: SO, WE WALKED IN THE HOUSE, PUT OUR EQUIPMENT DOWN.
BASICALLY GOT A FEEL FOR THE HOUSE.
DuMontelle: WE DECIDED TO GO DOWNSTAIRS.
SO, AS WE WERE GETTING TO THE DOOR, SUDDENLY WE HEARD THIS REALLY LOUD BLARING MUSIC COMING FROM THE ROOM NEXT DOOR.
SO WE WENT IN THERE.
WE FOUND THAT THE STEREO WAS TURNED ON JUST BLARING AWAY.
AND THAT WAS REALLY WEIRD 'CAUSE IT WAS JUST, LIKE I SAID, EERILY QUIET WHEN WE WALKED IN.
AND WE'RE THINKING, "OKAY, THIS IS GONNA BE QUITE THE INTERESTING NIGHT.
" Austin: AT THAT POINT, I FELT, "WOW, THE SPIRITS ARE ALREADY SHOWING THEMSELVES.
WE'VE ONLY BEEN HERE FIVE MINUTES.
" LATER ON THAT NIGHT, VICKI AND I WENT TO THE TOP OF THE STAIRS, AND WE WERE SITTING UP AT THE TOP OF THE STAIRS FOR PROBABLY 20 MINUTES OR SO.
AND WE KEPT FEELING COLD CHILLS.
DuMontelle: TRISH WOULD FEEL THIS COLD CHILL, AND THEN SUDDENLY I WOULD FEEL IT RIGHT AFTER HER.
AND IT JUST HAPPENED SO MUCH.
IT WAS SO CONSTAN LIKE SOMEBODY'S WALKING BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN US.
Austin: IT WAS THE FREAKIES THING I'VE EVER FELT -- BONE-CHILLING COLD.
IT'S LIKE THE SPIRI WAS RIGHT THERE WITH US.
DuMontelle: IT WAS JUST PRETTY CRAZY.
SOMEBODY WAS DEFINITELY HANGING AROUND US.
Austin: SHORTLY AFTER, WE DECIDED TO DO AN EVP SESSION.
SO WE WERE SITTING QUIETLY IN THE PARLOR ROOM.
WE WERE ASKING QUESTIONS.
THE K-II METER WAS REALLY GETTING A LOT OF HITS, SO WE DECIDED TO TAKE A PHOTO.
WE SAID IF THERE WAS ANY SPIRITS IN THE ROOM, ESPECIALLY ALICE, PLEASE GET INTO THE PICTURE IF SHE WAS WITH US THAT NIGHT.
AND VICKI TOOK THE TIMER PICTURE, AND WE THINK WE HAVE ALICE IN THE PICTURE.
DuMontelle: WELL, IN THE PHOTO, BEHIND THIS LAMP I SEE A FACE OF A LITTLE GIRL.
AND I WAS STRUCK BY HOW MUCH THAT FACE LOOKED LIKE THIS PORTRAI DOWNSTAIRS OF THIS FAMILY.
AND IN THIS PORTRAIT, YOU SEE THIS LITTLE GIRL RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE.
AND SHE LOOKS TO BE 10 YEARS OLD, AND I BELIEVE THAT IS ALICE.
AND SIDE BY SIDE, THERE'S A STRIKING SIMILARITY.
Austin: THE PHOTO THAT VICKI AND I CAPTURED IS PROOF TO ME THAT THE SPIRIT OF ALICE IS STILL IN THE HOUSE.
IT'S AN AMAZING PHOTO.
WE ALSO CAPTURED A PHOTO WHERE THERE'S AN APPARITION CLEARLY AT THE BOTTOM OF THE STAIRS THAT I FEEL IS THE SPIRIT OF ALICE.
DuMontelle: WHEN I SAW THE PICTURE, IT JUST REALLY HIT ME.
IT'S ONE THING TO SPECULATE ON IT, BUT IT'S A WHOLE NOTHER THING WHEN YOU SEE A PICTURE, AND IT JUST STRIKES YOU LIKE, "OH, MY GOSH.
" THE GHOST OF ALICE REALLY IS HERE.
IT'S VERY SAD TO THINK THAT SHE'S STUCK THERE FOREVER, AND I JUST CAN'T IMAGINE THAT.
I JUST -- IT'S KIND OF HEARTBREAKING.
HOPEFULLY SOMEDAY SOMEBODY WILL BE ABLE TO HELP HER.
LATER ON THAT EVENING, TRISH AND I DECIDED TO TAKE BREAK.
SO, WE WERE CONGRATULATING OURSELVES FOR, YOU KNOW, BEING SO BRAVE, JUST THE TWO OF US IN THERE.
Austin: AND WE WERE KIND OF BRAGGING.
"THE GUYS ARE GONNA BE SO PROUD OF US BEING IN THE HOUSE ALONE.
" AND WE DECIDED WE'D LISTEN BACK TO OUR EVPs.
DuMontelle: I WAS JUST SHOCKED TO HEAR THIS LITTLE GIRL'S VOICE SAY, "LET'S SCARE THEM.
WANT TO?" I KEPT PLAYING I AND PLAYING IT BACK.
I'M LIKE, "AM I REALLY HEARING THIS?" I BELIEVE THAT WAS THE GHOS OF ALICE SPEAKING ON THERE.
AND WHAT STRUCK ME WAS SHE WAS TALKING TO SOMEONE, SO SHE WASN'T IN THERE ALONE.
Austin: ABOUT FIVE MINUTES LATER, WE WERE IN THE LIBRARY ROOM, AND THE DOOR SLAMMED SHUT.
[ DOOR SLAMS .]
SCARED THE CRAP OUT OF ME.
GIVES ME CHILLS RIGHT NOW BECAUSE IT WAS SCARY.
DuMontelle: THAT DOOR JUST SLAMMED.
IT WAS STILL VIBRATING FROM THE FORCE.
IT REALLY SCARED ME.
I WASN'T EXPECTING THA WHATSOEVER.
AND I'M LIKE, "OH, MY GOSH.
" IT SEEMED LIKE WE WERE PRANKED.
IT CONFIRMED TO ME THAT THERE WAS SOMEONE OR SOMETHING THERE WITH US.
[ DOOR SLAMS .]
Austin: A FRIEND OF OURS CAPTURED A PHOTO A FEW MONTHS AGO OF A MAN STANDING IN THE DOORWAY OF THE LIBRARY WHERE THE DOOR WAS SLAMMED, AND IT IS CREEPY.
AND IT IS SOMEONE STANDING THERE.
YOU CAN SEE HIS HAND AND ARM ON THE DOOR, AND I'M THINKING THAT'S THE SPIRIT THAT SLAMMED THE DOOR THE NIGHT VICKI AND I WERE IN THERE.
WHEN I LOOK BACK AT THIS PICTURE, IT CREEPS ME OUT TO THIS DAY, THINKING VICKI AND I WERE ALONE IN THE HOUSE WITH THIS SPIRIT.
DuMontelle: AFTER ALL THE THINGS THAT HAD HAPPENED THAT NIGHT, WE DECIDED TO WRAP THINGS UP.
IT TURNED OUT TO BE A VERY SCARY NIGHT.
I WOULD HAVE TO REALLY RETHINK GOING BACK TO THE VIRGIL HICKOX HOME AGAIN.
Austin: I'D BEEN A SKEPTIC FOR A LONG TIME, BUT AFTER VISITING THE HICKOX HOUSE, I'M A TRUE BELIEVER IN THE PARANORMAL.
I DEFINITELY FEEL THIS PLACE IS HAUNTED.
Strickland: THERE'S A SKULL IN THERE.
IT ALMOST LOOKS LIKE THERE'S SOMEBODY THERE DRUMMING.
Kelchner: THE SPIRITS THAT USED TO LIVE AT WILLOW CREEK, THEY'RE STILL THERE.
Strickland: IT WAS JUST DARK AND EVIL.
Kelchner: THERE'S A REAL HAUNTING GOING ON AT WILLOW CREEK FARM.
Strickland: WHEN I LISTENED TO THE RECORDING, I KNEW RIGHT AWAY THIS PLACE IS HAUNTED.
Kelchner: I FELT EXTREMELY THREATENED AND FRIGHTENED.
Strickland: THE STUFF THAT WE'VE CAPTURED IS DEFINITE PROOF THAT THERE'S SOMETHING ON THE OTHER SIDE.
Kelchner: MY GHOST STORY BEGAN WHEN I BOUGHT A SMALL FARM IN CHERRY GROVE TOWNSHIP, ILLINOIS, AND GOT MUCH MORE THAN I BARGAINED FOR.
IN 2002 I MOVED FROM NEW YORK CITY TO NORTHWESTERN ILLINOIS.
I'D ALWAYS HAD A LIFELONG DREAM OF LIVING IN A RURAL AREA BUT MAYBE FINDING A SMALL FARM.
I STUMBLED ACROSS WHA I NOW CALL WILLOW CREEK FARM.
IT SEEMED TO REALLY FIT MY IDEA.
IN HINDSIGHT, IT DOES SEEM ODD TO ME THAT I MADE THE BIGGES FINANCIAL INVESTMENT IN MY LIFE AND THE DAY OF THE CLOSING WAS THE FIRST TIME I EVER SET FOOT IN THE HOUSE.
THAT DAY THAT I VISITED THE PROPERTY, WHEN I LEFT, I WAS OBSESSED.
I HAD TO HAVE IT.
THIS WAS IT.
THIS WAS GONNA FULFILL MY DREAM.
WHEN WE FIRST ENTERED, IT FELT STRANGE TO ME.
IT WAS [SIGHS.]
EMOTIONALLY DARK.
THERE WAS A ROOM THAT WE WALKED INTO, THE PARLOR ON THE FIRST FLOOR, AND I HAD THE STRANGEST THOUGH THAT I CAN REMEMBER VERBATIM TO THIS DAY.
AND THAT WAS, "THIS ROOM IS EVIL.
IT'S LIKE THE DEVIL IS IN HERE.
" I WAS EXTREMELY ANXIOUS.
I HAD THE HAIR ON THE BACK OF MY NECK STAND UP.
AND I JUST WANTED TO GET OUT OF THAT ROOM.
ONE WEEK AFTER I MOVED IN, I DECIDED TO GO UPSTAIRS TO THE SECOND FLOOR.
THE NORTHWEST BEDROOM, I HAD SOME THINGS STORED THERE THAT I NEEDED TO GET.
SO I OPENED THE DOOR TO THE ROOM AND STEPPED IN.
I BEGAN TO FEEL NAUSEOUS.
I FELT AS THOUGH I WAS BEING PULLED TO THE FLOOR.
I FELT EXTREMELY THREATENED AND FRIGHTENED.
I TURNED, CLOSED THE DOOR, AND I NEVER WENT UP THERE AGAIN UNTIL FIVE MONTHS LATER.
I NEEDED A CONFIRMATION OF WHAT WAS HAPPENING TO ME.
AND I THOUGH THE BEST WAY TO DO THA WAS TO HAVE SOME PARANORMAL GROUPS INVESTIGATE.
Strickland: THE FIRST TIME I WENT TO WILLOW CREEK FARM, IT FELT REALLY CREEPY.
I JUST REALLY FELT UNEASY.
WHEN YOU WALK OUT THERE, IT'S LIKE YOU KNOW YOU'RE NOT ALONE.
YOU FEEL 100 EYES ON YOU.
WE'RE WAY OUT IN THE COUNTRY.
-YOU CAN HEAR DRUMMING.
[ DRUMMING .]
-YOU CAN HEAR CHANTING.
-[ INDISTINCT WHISPERING .]
Kelchner: IN THE AREA WHERE WILLOW CREEK FARM IS LOCATED, THERE WERE VILLAGES AND CERTAINLY SKIRMISHES DURING THE BLACK HAWK WAR.
THERE'S A HIGH PROBABILITY THAT NATIVE AMERICANS DIED ON THE PROPERTY, AND THERE'S EVEN SPECULATION THAT THERE'S A BURIAL MOUND ON THE PROPERTY.
[ SCREAMING .]
Strickland: THERE'S NO WAY THIS SOUND IS COMING FROM ANYWHERE OTHER THAN FROM GHOSTS.
Kelchner: SEVERAL FRIENDS WERE OVER FOR AN EVENING, AND WE WERE WALKING AROUND THE PROPERTY.
AND ONE OF MY FRIENDS WAS SNAPPING PHOTOGRAPHS RANDOMLY TAKING PICTURES.
AND HE YELLED, "COME HERE -- QUICKLY!" SO A COUPLE OF US RAN OVER AND LOOKED.
AND IN THE VIEWFINDER, WHAT YOU SEE IS AN ABSOLUTELY AMAZING PHOTO OF MIST.
YOU CAN ATTRIBUTE IT TO A VORTEX WHERE SPIRITS COME AND GO.
Strickland: THERE WAS NO WAY IT WAS FOG.
IT WAS A DRY NIGHT.
IT WAS WARM.
AND IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S RISING UP FROM THE GROUND.
Kelchner: FOR ME, THE MOST PROFOUND PHOTO THAT'S BEEN TAKEN AT WILLOW CREEK IS WHAT I CALL THE SPECTER.
Strickland: THERE'S A SKULL IN THERE.
IT ALMOST LOOKS LIKE THERE'S SOMEBODY THERE DRUMMING ON, LIKE, A NATIVE AMERICAN DRUM.
WE HAVE HEARD DRUMMING OUT THERE.
WE'VE HEARD CHANTING OUT THERE.
IT SOUNDS NATIVE AMERICAN.
WHEN YOU WALK INTO THE HOUSE, IT DOESN'T FEEL LIKE AN EMPTY HOUSE.
WE WERE AT THE HOUSE IN THE DINING ROOM.
I KEPT HEARING GIGGLING ON THE STAIRWAY.
[ GIGGLING .]
I GO AROUND TO LOOK.
NOTHING THERE.
GO BACK, DO WHAT I WAS DOING IN THE DINING ROOM.
HEAR GIGGLING AGAIN.
[ GIGGLING .]
I LOOK.
YOU KNOW, THERE'S NOTHING THERE.
THE FIRST TIME I SAW A SHADOW, I WAS SO CREEPED OUT.
THERE'S A PICTURE OF A FIGURE PEEKING AROUND A DOORWAY.
I LOOK AT THAT PICTURE, AND THE HAIR ON MY ARMS STANDS UP.
I REALLY CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHA IT IS OTHER THAN IT'S A SPIRIT.
ONE TIME I WAS IN THE HOUSE INVESTIGATING.
I SET A VOICE RECORDER IN THE PARLOR, AND WE LEAVE WHEN WE GO TO DINNER.
AND WE COME BACK BECAUSE WE WANT TO SEE THE HOUSE -- WHAT IT'S LIKE WHEN NOBODY'S THERE.
WE CAME BACK.
I WAS GOING OVER MY VOICE RECORDER.
YOU CAN HEAR THE SOUND.
IT SOUNDS LIKE A LITTLE GIRL SKIPPING ROPE THROUGH THE HARDWOOD FLOOR.
Kelchner: IT REALLY SOUNDS LIKE A YOUNG PERSON SKIPPING ROPE.
IT'S VERY CLEAR -- THE CLICK, CLICK, CLICK, CLICK, CLICK.
IT'S ABSOLUTELY AMAZING.
IT IS CLEAR.
THERE'S NO QUESTION IN YOUR MIND THAT THAT'S WHAT'S HAPPENING.
Strickland: WHEN I LISTENED TO THE RECORDING, I KNEW RIGHT AWAY THIS PLACE IS HAUNTED.
THERE'S NO WAY THERE WAS A CHILD THERE SKIPPING ROPE, BUT YET HERE IT IS ON THE AUDIOTAPE.
Kelchner: WHEN YOU GO INTO THE BARN, THERE'S AN UNMISTAKABLE DARK FEELING TO IT.
THERE'S A MAJOR CREEP FACTOR.
Strickland: NO.
I DID NOT LIKE GOING INTO THE BARN.
I STARTED FEELING NAUSEOUS.
THE HAIR ON MY ARMS WAS STANDING UP.
I DID NOT LIKE IT AT ALL.
THE STORY THAT WE HAD HEARD WAS THA THERE WAS A PREVIOUS OWNER WHO HAD GOTTEN KICKED IN THE HEAD BY A HORSE AND DIED IN THE BARN.
MY SON AND THE REST OF US THAT WERE THERE SET UP A FLASHLIGH IN THE LOFT OF THE BARN.
WE TURNED IT ON AND PROCEEDED TO ASK QUESTIONS.
AND THE FLASHLIGHT WOULD BRIGHTEN AND DIM ON COMMAND.
ONE OF THE QUESTIONS WE ASKED WAS IF YOU HAD BEEN HUR BY A HORSE OR KILLED BY A HORSE, AND THE FLASHLIGH RESPONDED THAT, YES, THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED.
Kelchner: DID THE HORSE KICK YOU, AND THAT'S WHAT KILLED YOU? Strickland: THE FLASHLIGH GOING BRIGHTER IN RESPONSE TO THE QUESTIONS DEFINITELY COLLABORATED WHAT WE HAD HEARD AS THE STORIES OF WHO WAS IN THE BARN.
Kelchner: YOU DIED BECAUSE OF THAT ACCIDENT? Strickland: ANOTHER UNEXPLAINED RECORDING HAPPENED IN THE BARN.
WE SET VOICE RECORDERS UP IN THE BARN, WENT OUT TO EAT, CAME BACK, TURNED THE VOICE RECORDERS OFF.
WHEN WE LISTENED TO THE RECORDING LATER, WE HEARD THIS EVIL LAUGH.
WHEN I HEARD IT, I JUST GOT CHILLS.
MY STOMACH WAS TURNING.
IT WAS JUST DARK AND EVIL.
Kelchner: IT'S A GREAT EXAMPLE OF WHY PEOPLE FEEL AT THE VERY LEAS UNCOMFORTABLE IF NOT DOWNRIGHT THREATENED WHEN THEY ENTER THAT BARN.
Strickland: WHAT I SAY TO PEOPLE THAT DON'T BELIEVE -- THE STUFF THAT WE'VE CAPTURED AT WILLOW CREEK FARM IS DEFINITE PROOF THAT THERE IS SOMETHING ON THE OTHER SIDE.
I BELIEVE THA WITH EVERY OUNCE OF MY BEING.
Kelchner: FROM ALL THE EVPs THE PHOTOGRAPHS IT SEEMS THERE'S A CONTINUUM.
THE SPIRITS THAT USED TO LIVE AT WILLOW CREEK, THEY'RE STILL THERE.
I'M CONVINCED, AND IT'S CONFIRMED.
THERE'S A REAL HAUNTING GOING ON AT WILLOW CREEK FARM.
