My Ghost Story (2010) s04e13 Episode Script

1 Cory: I CALLED TO MY DOG.
AND THEN YOU SEE A LITTLE SPIRIT DOG CHASING MY DOG.
I COULDN'T BELIEVE IT.
McCurddy: THIS GENTLEMAN TOOK A PHOTOGRAPH.
THE FLASH REFLECTED A PERSON THAT WASN'T THERE.
IT GAVE ME CHILLS.
Rose: WITHIN A SPLIT SECOND, HER FACE APPEARED AND WAS GONE.
SHE MADE HERSELF KNOWN TO US VISUALLY.
Martine: I COULDN'T FIGURE OU WHAT THAT COULD POSSIBLY BE BESIDES A GHOST.
I WAS SO SCARED.
Brightman: I COULD SEE IT FORMING TOGETHER AND MAKING WHAT LOOKED LIKE A HUMAN SHAPE.
Estes: IT WAS UP NEAR THE CEILING, AND IT MOVED VERY FAST.
MY DAUGHTER LOOKED AT ME AND SAID, "WHAT'S WRONG?" AND I SAID, "I THINK I JUST SAW A GHOST.
" Cory: I COULD SEE ORB ENERGIES COMING IN.
AND THEY WERE ACTUALLY GLIDING DOWN.
IT LOOKED LIKE THEY WERE TOUCHING HIM.
Nevarez: WHEN SOMETHING GOES AFTER YOUR CHILD, IT MAKES YOU ANGRY.
MY GHOST STORY BEGAN WHEN MY SON AND I MOVED INTO A NEW HOME IN JOPLIN, MISSOURI.
A LITTLE OVER A YEAR AGO, MY SON AND I HAD MOVED TO A HOME.
AND IT WAS AN OLDER HOME.
IT WAS BUILT IN THE EARLY 1920s.
AND WE STARTED NOTICING THINGS WERE A LITTLE BIT STRANGE WITHIN THE FIRST FEW WEEKS OF LIVING THERE.
MY SON STARTING COMPLAINING ABOUT HEARING WHISPERS AND DIFFERENT VOICES.
WE'D BE WOKEN UP BECAUSE IT SOUNDED LIKE SOMEBODY COMING EITHER IN THE FRONT DOOR OR SLAMMING THE BACK DOOR LAUNDRY ROOM AREA.
AND IT WOULD BE LOUD ENOUGH THAT IT WOULD WAKE YOU UP RIGHT OUT OF A DEAD SLEEP.
AT FIRST, I CHALKED IT UP TO IT'S AN OLD HOUSE, YOU KNOW, IT'S NEW TO US, SO WE DON'T KNOW THE SOUNDS.
BUT IT WAS STARTING TO RATTLE US A LITTLE BIT.
ONE NIGHT, WE WERE ALL GETTING SETTLED FOR BED, AND ALL OF A SUDDEN, WE HEARD THIS LOUD BOOM.
WELL, I HAD A BISTRO TABLE SET UP IN THE DINING AREA, AND IT HAD SOME PLANTS ON I AND A COUPLE CHAIRS.
WHEN I GOT IN THERE, THE TOP OF THE TABLE HAD COMPLETELY TURNED OVER, AND THE PLANT THAT SAT ON IT, THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN ON THE FLOOR WAS NEATLY SAT ON A CHAIR BESIDE IT, AND NOT A SPECK OF DIRT CAME OU OF THE PLANT -- NOTHING.
AT THAT POINT, I WANTED TO GE SOMEBODY TO TAKE A LOOK AT THIS BECAUSE I REALLY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT I WAS DEALING WITH.
MY SON WASN'T SLEEPING, I WASN'T SLEEPING, AND I ASKED MY BOYFRIEND IF HE WOULD PLEASE SET UP SOME CAMERAS SO THAT WE COULD SEE WHEN WE WEREN'T THERE IF THE SAME THING WAS HAPPENING.
Cory: WHEN I WOULD GO OVER TO MY GIRLFRIEND'S HOUSE, I WOULD START NOTICING DIFFERENT THINGS -- NOISES.
I'D SEEN APPARITIONS, LITTLE LIGHT ENERGIES, THINGS SCURRYING ACROSS THE FLOOR.
BRYANNA WANTED ME TO GET TO THE BOTTOM OF THINGS, SO SHE HAD ME SET UP SOME AUDIO RECORDERS.
I WAS IN THE OFFICE OF THE HOUSE WITH BRYANNA, LISTENING TO THOSE RECORDINGS.
AND DURING THIS TIME IN THE OFFICE, WE FELT THIS STRANGE ENERGY, LIKE A MASS OF COLD AIR, AND THE ENERGY CAME INTO THE OFFICE.
AND I HEARD A MAN SAY, "HELP ME" ON THE RECORDING.
Nevarez: WE LOOKED AT EACH OTHER WHEN WE HEARD THIS VOICE.
IT SAID "HELP ME" IN THIS WHISPER -- REALLY KIND OF A DESPERATE WHISPER.
AND WE HADN'T HEARD ANYTHING LIKE THAT.
MY FIRST THOUGHT WAS, "WHA WAS THIS?" OR "WHO WAS THIS?" Cory: THE ANIMALS WERE AWARE OF WHATEVER WAS GOING ON, TOO.
Nevarez: I HAVE A BIG FLUFFY RAGDOLL CAT, AND HE WOULD JUST HUNCH UP AND TRACK STUFF.
HE WOULD SIT THERE AND JUST LOOK.
Cory: THE ANIMALS WERE DEFINITELY BEING AFFECTED BY THESE SPIRITS.
Nevarez: SO WE DECIDED TO SET UP A CAMERA AND SEE WHAT WAS GOING ON WHEN WE WEREN'T THERE.
AND NICK HAS A LITTLE POMERANIAN DOG, AND HE GOES WITH HIM EVERYWHERE.
Cory: SO AS WE WERE LEAVING, I CALLED TO MY DOG.
Cory: YEAH.
Cory: AND THEN SHORTLY AFTER HE COMES TO ME TO THE DOOR, YOU SEE A LITTLE SPIRIT DOG COME ACROSS THE CAMERA.
IT APPEARS TO BE CHASING MY DOG.
I THOUGHT IT LOOKED LIKE IT WAS BEING PLAYFUL.
AND THEN I NOTICED THE CA ALSO NOTICES THE SPIRIT DOG AS IT'S COMING ACROSS.
Nevarez: THE CAT WATCHES AS WHA LOOKS LIKE A LITTLE SPIRIT DOG JUST TROTTING OU AFTER THE POMERANIAN.
ONLY WE NEVER SAW ANYTHING.
Cory: IT LOOKED LIKE A LITTLE PUPPY.
YOU COULD ACTUALLY SEE THE BACK LEGS.
AND I THOUGHT, "IT'S COMING AFTER SONNY.
" HE MUST HAVE ATTRACTED IT.
I COULDN'T BELIEVE IT.
Nevarez: THAT WAS THE LAST TIME WE WERE ABLE TO FILM IN THAT HOME.
ON MAY 22nd, JOPLIN WAS HI WITH AN EF-5 TORNADO.
AND THE HOME THAT MY SON AND I SHARED WAS LEVELED, BASICALLY.
WE CRAWLED OUT.
AND MUCH OF JOPLIN IS STILL NOT REBUILT.
THERE'S NOTHING LEFT.
Cory: I MOVED BRYANNA AND HER SON INTO MY NEW HOUSE, AND I'D SAY TWO WEEKS INTO US BEING IN THE NEW HOUSE, WE STARTED HEARING FOOTSTEPS ACROSS THE KITCHEN, DOORS OPENING AND CLOSING.
WE WOULD SEE SHADOWS.
Nevarez: IT WAS WITHIN WEEKS THAT MY SON IS SAYING, "MOM, IT'S HAPPENING AGAIN.
" AND THIS TIME, HE WAS COMPLAINING ABOU THINGS JUMPING ON THE BED.
WELL, WE ISOLATE THE ANIMALS AT NIGHT, SO THERE AREN'T ANIMALS RUNNING AROUND LOOSE.
IT BECAME VERY CLEAR THA THE SPIRITS HAD FOLLOWED US.
Cory: WITH ALL THAT WAS GOING ON IN THE NEW HOME, WE DECIDED TO RECORD AGAIN.
ONE NIGHT, I DECIDED TO SET UP A CAMERA TOWARDS MY NEW BEDROOM.
AND UPON REVIEWING THAT FOOTAGE, WE SAW THE CAMERA HAD BEEN SHAKING.
AT FIRST, I THOUGHT SOMETHING JUST BUMPED THE CAMERA.
AND THEN, THE CLOSER I LOOKED AT IT, SOMETHING HAD GRABBED THE TRIPOD AND ACTUALLY SHOOK THE CAMERA.
AND I TOOK THA AS A SIGN FROM THE SPIRITS THEY DIDN'T WANT ME FILMING.
THE NEXT NIGHT, WE SET UP A CAMERA AIMED AT ROB'S ROOM.
Nevarez: THIS TIME, WE SET UP CAMERAS WITH MY SON HOME, WHEN HE WAS SLEEPING.
Cory: HE KNEW HE WAS BEING FILMED, BUT I ASKED HIM TO JUST TRY TO GO TO SLEEP.
Nevarez: ON THE VIDEO, YOU CAN SEE THESE ORBS THAT KEEP FLOATING UP AND LITERALLY WILL GO UP TO HIS FACE AND THEN GO AWAY.
Cory: I COULD SEE ORB ENERGIES COMING IN, WHICH, I BELIEVE, WERE SPIRIT ORBS.
AND THEY WERE COMING FROM ALL DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS -- CONTROLLED MOVEMENT.
AND THEY WERE ACTUALLY GLIDING DOWN.
IT LOOKED LIKE THEY WERE TOUCHING HIM.
AND HE TOLD ME THE NEXT MORNING THAT HE COULD FEEL THAT SOMEBODY HAD BEEN TOUCHING HIM.
Nevarez: HE HAS COMPLAINED ABOUT WHAT IT FEELS LIKE -- SOMETHING TOUCHING HIS NOSE OR TOUCHING HIS HEAD OR POKING HIM.
WHEN I SAW ALL THESE SPIRITS FLYING AROUND AND TOUCHING MY SON, I KNEW HE HAD BEEN TELLING ME THE TRUTH.
Cory: ON THE SAME VIDEO FOOTAGE ITSELF, YOU CAN HEAR A VOICE SAY, "LISTEN.
" Nevarez: WE HEAR THIS SPIRIT VOICE SAY, "LISTEN.
" AND IT'S JUST THIS BREATHY KIND OF STRANGE SOUND, WHEN YOU KNOW NOBODY WAS THERE.
Cory: I THINK THEY WERE AWARE OF WHAT WE WERE DOING, TRYING TO GET THEM ON FILM.
Nevarez: WE'VE TRIED TO CLEANSE THE HOUSE.
WE'VE HAD HELP CLEANSING THE HOUSE, AND NOTHING HAS WORKED SO FAR.
THE FOCUS STILL SEEMS TO BE ON MY SON IN ANY ROOM THAT HE OCCUPIES.
Cory: NOW AT THE NEW HOUSE, IT'S ESCALATING.
THERE'S MORE SPIRITS, MORE ACTIVITY, MORE THINGS GOING ON, AND WE'RE TO THE POIN WE DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO.
Nevarez: AS AN ADULT, IT'S ONE THING TO DEFEND YOURSELF, BUT WHEN SOMETHING GOES AFTER YOUR CHILD, IT MAKES MAKES YOU ANGRY.
Brightman: FROM A WINDOW INSIDE THE LIGHTHOUSE, THERE WAS A FACE LOOKING BACK AT ME.
McCurddy: THIS GENTLEMAN TOOK A PHOTOGRAPH.
AND WHEN HE SNAPPED THE PICTURE, THE FLASH SHOWED A GENTLEMAN SITTING IN THE CORNER OF THE LIGHTHOUSE.
SO IT REFLECTED A PERSON THAT WASN'T THERE.
IT GAVE ME CHILLS.
McCurddy: THIS GENTLEMAN TOOK A PHOTOGRAPH.
THE FLASH REFLECTED A PERSON THAT WASN'T THERE.
IT GAVE ME CHILLS.
McCurddy: MY GHOST STORY BEGAN ABOUT FOUR YEARS AGO, WHEN I BECAME EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF THE ROSE ISLAND LIGHTHOUSE FOUNDATION.
THE LIGHTHOUSE WAS BUIL IN 1869.
THE FIRST LONG-TERM KEEPER OF THE LIGHTHOUSE WAS CHARLES CURTIS.
HE OCCUPIED THE LIGHTHOUSE FOR ABOUT 31 YEARS END OF THE 1800s INTO THE EARLY 1900s.
AND HIS JOB WOULD BE TO MAINTAIN IT, TO STAY THERE 24 HOURS, SEVEN DAYS A WEEK, CLEANING THE LENS, MAKING SURE THE LIGHT WAS EFFECTIVE FOR THE SHIPS THAT WERE TRAVELING UP AND DOWN THE BAY.
WHEN I FIRST BEGAN AS EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF THE ROSE ISLAND LIGHTHOUSE, I WAS A SKEPTIC.
I DIDN'T BELIEVE IN GHOSTS UNTIL I STARTED HAVING EXPERIENCES MYSELF.
ACTUALLY, ONE OF THE FIRST THINGS I DID WAS STAY AT THE LIGHTHOUSE BECAUSE I WANTED TO EXPERIENCE IT.
I WOULD STAY THERE WITH MY WIFE, AND WE WERE SLEEPING, AND SHE BASICALLY WOKE ME UP AT 3:00 IN THE MORNING, SAYING, "I JUST HEARD FOOTSTEPS DOWN THE STAIRS," THREE TIMES.
SO SHE WAS A LITTLE BI FREAKED OUT.
SOMETIME AFTER THAT, I WAS WORKING ONE EVENING AT THE LIGHTHOUSE.
AND I WAS WALKING DOWN THIS GREEN FIELD TOWARDS OUR WORK SHED, AND OUR BARRACKS STRUCTURE IS OFF TO THE RIGHT -- AN OLD BUILDING BUILT IN 1798.
THERE'S NINE INDIVIDUAL CHAMBERS.
AND THAT'S WHEN I NOTICED FROM A DISTANCE THAT THE VERY LAST DOOR OF THE NINTH CHAMBER WAS OPEN.
AND THE DOOR IS NEVER OPEN.
IT ACTUALLY HAS A CLASP ON I THAT KEEPS IT SHUT.
SO I WALKED DOWN, AND I'M ABOUT TO SHUT THE DOOR, AND I HEAR VOICES INSIDE THAT CHAMBER.
I COULD NOT HEAR WORDS.
IT SOUNDED LIKE TWO MALES SPEAKING IN A HUSHED TONE.
AND I THOUGHT, "THAT'S REALLY STRANGE BECAUSE WE'RE THE ONLY PEOPLE OUT HERE.
" I WALK INSIDE THE CHAMBER TO SEE IF THERE'S ANYBODY THAT I CAN'T SEE AND THERE WAS NOBODY THERE.
I SHUT THE DOOR, AND I CLASP IT, AND I SAID, "WELL, MAYBE SOMEBODY'S BEHIND THE BUILDING.
" I WALK BEHIND IT.
THERE'S NOBODY THERE.
I CHECKED THE BEACH.
THERE WAS NOBODY ON THE ISLAND.
WHEN I FIRST HEARD THE VOICES INSIDE THE CHAMBER, I WAS REALLY KIND OF NEW TO THE JOB, AND SO I DIDN'T KNOW THAT MUCH YET.
AND SO I STARTED TO RESEARCH IT.
ROSE ISLAND WAS FIRST OCCUPIED BY THE BRITISH BACK IN 1776.
THEN THE AMERICANS BUILT A FOR ON ROSE ISLAND.
ONCE THE WAR THREA FROM THE BRITISH WAS OVER, THE ISLAND WAS USED AS A STATE HOSPITAL AT SOME POINT, WHEN THEY QUARANTINED INDIVIDUALS THAT WERE EITHER COMING OFF A SHIP WITH CHOLERA OR SOME SOR OF INFECTIOUS DISEASE.
THEY WOULD BRING THEM TO THE LAST TWO CHAMBERS OF THAT BARRACKS STRUCTURE.
I ALMOST IMMEDIATELY CONNECTED THAT THOSE WERE WHAT I HEARD.
I HEARD FOLKS THAT PROBABLY PASSED ON, BUT FOR SOME REASON WERE STILL ON THE ISLAND.
I WAS CAUGHT OFF GUARD AND A LITTLE BIT FREAKED OUT.
I WAS STILL SKEPTICAL AT THIS POINT, BUT THESE SERIES OF EXPERIENCES WERE LEADING ME TO BELIEVING THAT THERE MIGHT BE SOMETHING GOING ON AT THE LIGHTHOUSE.
THAT'S WHEN WE CALLED JOHN BRIGHTMAN.
Brightman: DAVE CALLED ME AND SAID, "WE'RE LOOKING FOR A GROUP TO COME INTO THE LIGHTHOUSE TO INVESTIGATE.
" McCurddy: WE BROUGHT HIM OU TO THE ISLAND.
Brightman: THE ISLAND WAS JUST AMAZING.
YOU'RE PULLING UP, AND YOU'RE SEEING THIS BIG ISLAND WITH A MASSIVE LIGHTHOUSE.
SO IT WAS JUST AMAZING TO SEE THAT WE WERE GONNA GET THIS FOR THE WHOLE NIGH TO OURSELVES.
THE GROUP SHOWED UP, AND AS WE'RE DOING THE LIVE INTERVIEW, WE SAW SOME LIGHT THAT WAS MOVING AROUND WITH OUR OWN EYES.
IT WAS THIS WHITE BALL OF LIGH THAT KIND OF WENT BEHIND HIM, DISAPPEARED ALMOST LIKE IT WAS GOING THROUGH THE DOOR.
AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN, YOU'D SEE IT REAPPEAR BACK BEHIND HIM UP TOWARDS THE TOP RIGHT.
I DON'T BELIEVE IT'S AN ORB, BUT THERE'S NOTHING IN THE ROOM THAT COULD HAVE CAUSED THAT.
IT WAS A PRETTY AMAZING EXPERIENCE.
THEN, RIGHT AFTER THAT, WE BASICALLY SET UP OUR EQUIPMENT.
McCurddy: HE SENDS OFF TEAMS TO GO SET UP INSIDE THE LIGHTHOUSE WITH CAMERAS AND MICROPHONES.
Brightman: WE SET UP OUR HOME BASE AND OUR EQUIPMEN FOR WHAT WE'RE GONNA BE WATCHING FOR THE NIGHT.
I WAS SNAPPING PHOTOS WITH A THERMAL CAMERA.
McCurddy: JOHN SNAPS A SERIES OF PICTURES.
THE FIRST PICTURE, AN IMAGE STARTS TO APPEAR IN THE WINDOW.
Brightman: WE WEREN'T QUITE SURE WHAT IT COULD HAVE BEEN.
AND AS WE SHOT MORE AND MORE, YOU COULD SEE I FORMING TOGETHER AND MAKING WHAT LOOKED LIKE A HUMAN SHAPE.
IN THE SECOND PHOTO, IT HAD MORE OF A CHES AND MORE OF THE ARMS WITH A LITTLE GAP BETWEEN WHAT LOOKED LIKE THE HEAD AND THE NECK.
McCurddy: BY THE THIRD, THERE'S BASICALLY A FACE LOOKING IN FROM THE OUTSIDE.
IT COULDN'T HAVE BEEN ANYBODY FROM THE OUTSIDE.
IT'S TWO STORIES UP, AND IT'S AT LEAST 20 FEET OFF THE GROUND.
THERE'S NO GUTTER OR ANYTHING FOR A PERSON TO BE STANDING ON RIGHT THERE.
Brightman: ONE OF US RAN DOWNSTAIRS AND WAS LOOKING AROUND TO SEE IF ANYBODY WAS OUT THERE OR COULD HAVE EVEN BEEN OUT THERE.
AND THERE WAS NO WAY POSSIBLE ANYBODY WAS OUT THERE.
LATER ON THAT NIGHT, I STEPPED OUTSIDE TO HAVE A CIGARETTE, AND AS I DID, I COULD HEAR SOUNDS THAT WERE COMING FROM THE TOP OF THE LIGHTHOUSE.
SO I WENT BACK IN, GRABBED MY DIGITAL RECORDER, GRABBED THE INFRARED CAMERA, AND I STEP OUTSIDE, AND THE NOISES STARTED AGAIN.
AND AS I LOOKED UP FROM A WINDOW INSIDE THE LIGHTHOUSE, THERE WAS A FACE APPEARING LOOKING BACK AT ME.
INSTANTLY, I KEPT SNAPPING PHOTOS.
[ CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKING .]
THE FIRST TWO HAD NOTHING.
THE NEXT TWO OR THREE IN A ROW HAD THAT FACE IN IT.
AFTER SEEING THE FACE IN THE CAMERA, I LOOKED UP TO SEE IF I COULD SEE IT WITH MY OWN EYES, AND IT WAS GONE.
I DID GO UP THE STAIRS TO SEE IF THERE COULD HAVE BEEN SOMEBODY IN THAT ROOM.
THAT ROOM'S CLOSED FROM THE INSIDE.
YOU CANNOT GET TO IT.
AND THE ONE WINDOW THAT IS IN THAT ROOM IS ACTUALLY SEALED WITH A CELLOPHANE.
THERE'S NO WAY THAT SOMEBODY COULD HAVE GOT INTO THAT ROOM OR GOTTEN OUT OF THAT ROOM, BECAUSE THE CELLOPHANE THAT'S ON THE WINDOW WAS COMPLETELY INTACT.
IT WAS JUST KIND OF AMAZING THAT WE WERE ABLE TO CATCH THAT.
ABOUT A WEEK LATER, I GAVE DAVE A CALL AND EXPLAINED TO HIM EVERYTHING THAT WE HAVE GOTTEN, RIGHT DOWN FROM THE EVPs TO THE PHOTOS.
WE ACTUALLY GOT ONE EVP THAT WE DIDN'T KNOW WE HAD AT THE TIME.
THE EVP SAYS, "GET OUT.
THIS IS MY ROOM.
" AND IT'S A LITTLE LOW IN TONE, WHAT MAKES ME THINK THAT IT'S A MALE'S VOICE.
WE BELIEVE IT COULD BE THE SPIRIT OF CHARLES CURTIS THAT'S THERE BECAUSE OF THE EVIDENCE THAT WAS GIVEN TO DAVE.
DAVE RECEIVED A PHOTO FROM A GUEST.
McCurddy: THIS GENTLEMAN TOOK A PHOTOGRAPH OF A GLASS-FRONT PAINTING, AND WHEN HE SNAPPED THE PICTURE, THE FLASH SHOWED A GENTLEMAN SITTING IN THE CORNER OF THE LIGHTHOUSE THAT WASN'T IN THE ROOM.
SO IT REFLECTED A PERSON THAT WASN'T THERE.
IT LOOKS A LO LIKE CHARLES CURTIS.
HE WAS ONE OF THE FIRST LONG-TERM KEEPERS OF THE LIGHTHOUSE.
Brightman: WHEN COMPARING HIM, IT LOOKS LIKE A YOUNGER VERSION OF CHARLES CURTIS.
McCurddy: WHEN I SAW THIS PICTURE IN THE PHOTOGRAPH AND I SAW THE REFLECTION AND I THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE CHARLES CURTIS, IT GAVE ME CHILLS.
I THINK THE SPIRI OF CHARLES CURTIS IS STILL THERE BECAUSE HE SPEN MOST OF HIS LIFE THERE TAKING CARE OF THE LIGHTHOUSE.
Brightman: IT ALL MAKES ME BELIEVE THAT IT'S THE SPIRI OF CHARLES CURTIS THAT'S AT THIS LOCATION BECAUSE OF THE EVPs BECAUSE OF THE PHOTOS.
McCurddy: CHARLES CURTIS' PRESENCE IS STRONG IN THE LIGHTHOUSE.
I BELIEVE HE'S DOING WHAT HE DID IN HIS PAST LIFE NOW.
HE'S TAKING CARE OF THE LIGHTHOUSE.
King: WE GET VERY STRONG IMPRESSIONS OF THESE SPIRIT CHILDREN THAT ARE ON THE SITE.
I GOT THE URGE TO JUMP ON THE TRAMPOLINE BECAUSE A LITTLE CHILD HAD ASKED ME TO JUMP.
Estes: WE ACTUALLY DID CAPTURE A FACE WATCHING HIM JUMP.
I COULDN'T BELIEVE THERE WERE CHILDREN HAUNTING OUR HOUSE.
King: I GOT THE URGE TO JUMP ON THE TRAMPOLINE BECAUSE A LITTLE CHILD HAD ASKED ME TO JUMP.
Estes: WE ACTUALLY DID CAPTURE A FACE WATCHING HIM JUMP.
MY GHOST STORY BEGAN WHEN WE BOUGHT OUR DREAM HOME IN ARLINGTON, WASHINGTON.
MY HUSBAND AND I WERE LIVING IN THE SAN FRANCISCO BAY AREA, AND WE WERE TIRED OF THE RAT RACE, SO WE STARTED LOOKING FOR PROPERTY UP IN WASHINGTON AND THOUGH WE FOUND OUR DREAM HOME.
IT WAS HEAVILY WOODED AND FORESTED.
IT'S A LOT OF GREENERY.
THERE'S A CREEK THAT RUNS OUT BACK.
OUR NEIGHBORS ARE SEVERAL HUNDRED YARDS AWAY, SO WE'RE PRETTY ISOLATED.
WE HAD BEEN LIVING IN OUR HOUSE ABOUT THREE YEARS BEFORE WE NOTICED ANY KIND OF ACTIVITY.
MY DAUGHTER WAS DOING HER HOMEWORK AT THE KITCHEN COUNTER, AND I WAS FACING HER, AND I LOOKED UP AND I SAW A GIRL MOVE VERY QUICKLY FROM OUR HALLWAY INTO OUR BATHROOM.
I WAS STUNNED.
I WAS SHOCKED.
MY DAUGHTER LOOKED AT ME AND SAID, "WHAT'S WRONG?" AND I SAID, "I THINK I JUST SAW A GHOST.
" AFTER THAT, WE STARTED NOTICING LITTLE VOICES, FOOTSTEPS UP IN OUR ATTIC.
YOU FEEL SICK.
YOU FEEL AN UNEASINESS.
YOU ALWAYS FEEL LIKE THERE'S PEOPLE AROUND YOU, WATCHING YOU.
SO IT WAS AT THAT POINT THAT WE DECIDED WE HAVE TO DO SOMETHING.
WE HAVE TO CALL SOMEBODY.
AND WE CALLED A PARANORMAL SOCIETY.
King: KATHY CONTACTED US, AND SHE WANTED TO FIND OU IF WE COULD COME OU TO EVALUATE HER SITUATION.
Estes: WHEN DAVE AND HIS TEAM ARRIVED FOR THE FIRST TIME, THEY SET UP ALL THEIR EQUIPMENT -- CAMERAS AROUND THE HOUSE, RECORDING DEVICES -- AND THEY SET THEM IN DIFFERENT ROOMS.
King: WHEN WE SHOWED UP FOR THE FIRS TIME, IT WAS RELATIVELY QUIET.
I HAVE A FEELING THAT THE SPIRITS WERE A LITTLE BIT AT BAY.
THEY WERE TRYING TO JUST ASSESS WHO WE WERE.
BUT WHEN I STARTED COLLECTING THE EVPs, THINGS STARTED TO ACCELERATE AT THAT POINT.
Estes: THEY GOT AN EVP REPORTING OF A VOICE SAYING, "THAT'S A NICE BIG TRUCK.
" THERE WAS A NICE BIG TRUCK PARKED OUT FRONT.
IT WAS ONE OF THE INVESTIGATORS.
King: WE GOT AN EVP OF A CHILD WHO WAS ACKNOWLEDGING THE TRUCK THAT WAS OUT IN THE YARD.
Estes: WE WERE AMAZED.
IT WAS EXCITING THAT WE FINALLY HAVE SOME VALIDATION.
THIS IS REAL.
THIS IS HAPPENING.
King: KATHY HAD TOLD US ABOU HEARING FOOTSTEPS IN THE ATTIC.
WE WANTED TO FIND OU MORE ABOUT IT, SO ANOTHER INVESTIGATOR AND I WENT UP INTO THE ATTIC.
WE WERE ASSESSING THE ATTIC, AND THERE'S NO WAY THAT ANYTHING COULD REALLY RUN IN THE ATTIC.
IT'S FULL OF A LOT OF MATERIAL.
SO WHILE WE WERE UP THERE, WE ASKED IF WHOEVER IS RUNNING IN THE ATTIC, IF THEY COULD DO THAT.
WELL, THERE WAS A COUPLE-SECOND PAUSE.
INSTEAD OF IN THE ATTIC, WE HEARD FOOTSTEPS ON THE ROOF ABOVE US.
Estes: YOU CAN HEAR THE FOOTSTEPS.
IT'S VERY FRIGHTENING.
King: IT WAS QUITE SUBSTANTIAL.
WE WERE EXPECTED TO HEAR I ON THE ATTIC FLOOR.
IT WAS ON THE ROOF ABOVE US.
THEY STILL ACKNOWLEDGE THEMSELVES THAT WAY.
AND IT LASTED FOR ABOUT FIVE SECONDS.
LATER WE WERE UP IN THE BACKYARD, INVESTIGATING.
WE HAD A MEDIUM PRESEN THAT HAD VERY STRONG IMPRESSIONS OF THE SPIRIT CHILDREN THAT ARE ON THE SITE.
SO WE'D SNAP THE PHOTOS WITH A FULL-SPECTRUM CAMERA.
Estes: DAVE'S TEAM SHOWED US PICTURES OF SOME ORBS TAKEN OUTSIDE ON OUR DECK.
ONE OF THEM APPEARED GREAT, BIG, AND BRIGHT.
WE COULDN'T BELIEVE THAT.
IT LOOKED LIKE A MOON OVER THE TOP OF OUR HOT TUB.
IT WAS SCARY.
I COULDN'T BELIEVE THAT THERE WERE SO MANY PEOPLE HAUNTING OUR HOUSE.
King: WE WERE IN THE BACKYARD, AND I GOT THE URGE TO JUMP ON THE TRAMPOLINE BECAUSE I KNEW THERE WERE SPIRIT KIDS THERE.
AT THE TIME, I ASKED THE SPIRIT KIDS AROUND IF THEY WANTED ME TO JUMP TO SHOW ME.
NOTHING HAPPENED.
UPON REVIEWING MY EVPs LATER, I FOUND OUT THAT A LITTLE CHILD HAD ASKED ME TO JUMP.
Estes: DAVE GOT A VOICE SAYING, "JUMP," AND IT WAS A CHILD'S VOICE.
SO HE CLIMBED UP ON THE TRAMPOLINE.
HE SAID, "OKAY.
I'LL JUMP.
" HIS ASSISTANT WAS TAKING PICTURES OF HIM JUMPING, AND WE ACTUALLY DID CAPTURE A FACE NEXT TO THE TRAMPOLINE OF A CHILD WATCHING HIM JUMP.
King: WHEN I LOOKED AT THA PHOTOGRAPH, I WAS QUITE AMAZED.
IT LOOKS LIKE THE CHILD IS PEEKING OVER THE EDGE OF THE TRAMPOLINE.
YOU CAN MAKE OUT EYES, AND YOU CAN MAKE OUT A HEAD.
Estes: HIS FACE WAS YOUNG.
YOU CAN TELL IT'S A BOY.
IT'S VERY PALE, BUT HE'S LOOKING UP AT THE TRAMPOLINE, AND HE'S JUS WATCHING DAVE JUMP.
King: WHEN I WENT BACK LATER TO TRY TO VALIDATE WHETHER THAT WAS SOMETHING IN THE BUSHES THAT WAS MAKING THAT SHAPE, I COULDN'T REPRODUCE THAT PHOTOGRAPH AND HAVE THAT FACE SHOW UP, SO I DO THINK THAT IT WAS SOMETHING THAT WAS PARANORMAL.
I WAS WALKING DOWN THE PATH TO THE CREEK WITH THE MEDIUM.
AND THE MEDIUM HAD VERY STRONG IMPRESSIONS OF DROWNINGS IN THE CREEK.
AND I HAD ASKED THE MEDIUM THE QUESTION -- "HOW MANY SPIRITS DO WE HAVE AROUND US? BECAUSE I CAN FEEL A LO OF SPIRITS DOWN HERE.
" AND HE SAID WE HAD 25 TO 30 SPIRITS THAT WERE COLLECTIVELY AROUND US AT THAT TIME.
AND AT THAT POINT, THE EVP WAS CAPTURED THAT SAID, "I BROUGHT THEM ALL.
" I HAVE A FEELING THE SPIRITS WANTED TO COME DOWN TO INTERACT WITH US.
I WAS ASTOUNDED WHEN I HEARD THAT, 'CAUSE IT IS INCREDIBLE TO HAVE THAT INTERACTION WHEN YOU'RE ASKING A QUESTION AND YOU'RE GETTING A REPLY.
IT'S PHENOMENAL.
I DO BELIEVE THE MEDIUM'S IMPRESSIONS WERE VALIDATED, THAT THESE DROWNINGS DID OCCUR.
ONE OF THE ACTIVE AREAS IN THE HOUSE WAS THE HALLWAY.
KATHY HAD SAID THAT SHE HAD SEEN LIGHTS IN THE HALLWAY AND AN APPARITION OF A WOMAN STRAIGHTENING PICTURES.
WE DECIDED TO SET UP WITH THE INFRARED CAMERA IN THAT HALLWAY TO HOPEFULLY DOCUMEN THE SPIRIT.
UPON REVIEWING THE FOOTAGE, WE DID GET A WHITE MASS THA MOVED IN FRONT OF THE CAMERA.
Estes: IT WAS UP NEAR THE CEILING, AND IT WAS A WHITE SPIRI THAT MOVED VERY FAST.
King: YOU SEE A WHITE OBJEC COME PAST THE CAMERA AND THEN COME BACK VERY QUICKLY, AS IF TO ACKNOWLEDGE ITSELF.
Estes: WE WERE JUST SHOCKED AND AMAZED.
IT WAS VERY BRIEF, BUT YOU CAN DEFINITELY SEE THAT THERE'S SOMETHING THERE.
King: TO ACTUALLY GE THAT TYPE OF VIDEO FOOTAGE IS REALLY ASTOUNDING.
AND WE WERE ABLE TO VERIFY THAT IT REALLY WAS SOMETHING THAT WAS PARANORMAL.
UPON REVIEWING ALL THE EVIDENCE, IT IS TRULY AN INCREDIBLE SITE.
IT'S PARANORMALLY ACTIVE LIKE YOU WOULDN'T BELIEVE.
Estes: I THINK WE EXPERIENCED SO MANY SPIRIT CHILDREN IN OUR HOUSE BECAUSE THEY LIKE THE ACTIVITY.
THEY LIKE THE EXCITEMENT.
AND I THINK THEY LIKE BEING AROUND CHILDREN THEIR OWN AGE.
King: THIS IS A SITE THAT WE'RE GONNA CONTINUE TO INVESTIGATE, BECAUSE THE SPIRITS ARE VERY INTERACTIVE.
AND THERE'S A LOT OF QUESTIONS THAT WE STILL NEED TO ANSWER.
Estes: HAVING A PARANORMAL TEAM COME IN AND INVESTIGATE, IT DID VALIDATE A LO OF WHAT WE HAD BEEN SEEING.
AND IT'S HELPING US UNDERSTAND A LITTLE BIT MORE OF WHAT IS HAPPENING AND WHAT HAPPENS WHEN WE PASS.
Stordahl: SOMETHING WAS WATCHING ME CONSTANTLY.
Martine: IT WANTS YOUR ATTENTION.
IT NEEDS OUR ENERGY.
Stordahl: I HAVE NEVER BEEN SO SCARED IN MY LIFE.
Martine: I DIDN'T WANT TO WAIT TO SEE WHAT TERRIFYING THING WAS GOING TO HAPPEN NEXT.
Martine: ALL OF A SUDDEN, I'M GETTING PARANORMAL ACTIVITY.
I COULDN'T FIGURE OU WHAT THAT COULD POSSIBLY BE BESIDES A GHOST.
Stordahl: IT'S LEGITIMATE PROOF THERE WAS REALLY SOMETHING IN THE HOUSE.
Martine: MY GHOST STORY STARTED SIX MONTHS AFTER WE BOUGH A HOME IN ROCKLIN, CALIFORNIA.
ME AND MY TWO GIRLS AND MY FIANCé, WE WERE LIVING IN APARTMENT-STYLE HOMES FOR A LONG TIME, SO MOVING INTO THIS HOUSE WAS AMAZING.
Stordahl: WHEN I MOVED INTO THE ROCKLIN HOUSE, IT WAS EXCITING.
IT SEEMED LIKE A REALLY COOL AREA.
PLUS, AND MY SISTER AND I GOT OUR OWN ROOMS.
I REALLY LIKED THE HOUSE UNTIL THINGS STARTED HAPPENING.
Martine: ALL OF A SUDDEN, THE ENERGY WAS JUST VERY HEAVY.
I STARTED HEARING FOOTSTEPS.
AND NO ONE WAS THERE.
WE DON'T HAVE ANY ANIMALS IN THE HOUSE, SO THAT'S STARTLING.
WHEN THIS FIRS STARTED HAPPENING, I WAS SLEEPING IN MY ROOM, AND I WAS BEING WOKEN UP TO A FEELING OF DREAD, A FEELING OF "WAS SOMEONE STANDING OVER ME? IS SOMEONE GOING TO GET ME?" MY HAIR WAS ALWAYS BEING TOUCHED.
I COULD FEEL MY FEET BEING MESSED WITH WHEN I WAS SLEEPING, LIKE, FINGERS BETWEEN MY TOES -- THAT KIND OF FEELING.
EVENTUALLY, I FELT VERY VULNERABLE SLEEPING IN THE ROOM, SO I STARTED SLEEPING ON THE COUCH.
Stordahl: THE FIRST EXPERIENCE I HAD, I WAS HOME ALONE, AND I FELT SOMETHING HIT MY SHOULDER, LIKE AS IF SOMEONE WAS BUMPING INTO ME.
IT MADE ME TURN AROUND, AND OBVIOUSLY, NOTHING WAS THERE.
I WAS HOME ALONE.
AND I HEARD A MALE VOICE SAYING, "OH, EXCUSE ME.
" I HAVE NEVER BEEN SO SCARED IN MY LIFE.
MY FIRST INSTINC WAS TO RUN OUT OF THE HOUSE.
I LEFT THE DOOR WIDE OPEN.
I WAS SO SCARED.
MY ADRENALINE WAS JUST GOING.
ALL I COULD THINK OF WAS JUST RUN AWAY.
AFTER THE FIRST EXPERIENCE, THIS PRESENCE, WHATEVER IT WAS, KNEW THAT I HEARD IT AND FELT IT.
THAT'S WHEN THINGS STARTED GETTING WORSE.
I WOULD FEEL SOMEONE WATCHING ME CONSTANTLY ALL OVER THE HOUSE, ESPECIALLY, LIKE, IN THE BATHROOMS WHEN I'D BE SHOWERING AND IN MY BEDROOM WHEN I'D BE UNDRESSING.
IT WAS UNIMAGINABLY SCARY.
Martine: I STARTED REALIZING THAT WHAT WAS HAPPENING WAS PARANORMAL-RELATED, YOU KNOW? BECAUSE NOTHING WAS THERE, AND I WAS HAVING SENSATIONS AND FEELINGS GOING ON.
SO I DECIDED TO GO AND GET A RECORDER BECAUSE I WANTED TO TRY TO COMMUNICATE IN SOME WAY AND MAYBE CATCH IT.
I REMEMBER SPECIFICALLY ASKING, "ARE YOU ON THE BED WITH ME?" AND THEN I'D LISTEN TO THE RECORDER, AND THERE WAS A REPLY.
"HE DID THAT.
" WHEN I FIRST HEARD IT, IT SCARED THE CRAP OUT OF ME.
IT BLEW MY MIND THAT IT WAS THERE, PERIOD.
I FELT THA THIS MUST BE A SPIRI BECAUSE THERE'S NOBODY ELSE IN THE ROOM TO ANSWER THE QUESTION.
IT INTENSIFIED MY FEARS BECAUSE NOW I'VE GOT SOME VALIDATION FROM WHATEVER'S ON THIS RECORDING.
AND WHAT WAS EQUALLY SCARY -- IT'S LIKE, "OKAY, WELL, THERE'S NOT JUST ONE HERE.
THERE'S MORE THAN ONE HERE.
" BECAUSE IF HE DID THAT, THAT MEANS SOMEBODY ELSE IS THERE, TOO.
Stordahl: I STARTED REALIZING AFTER A WHILE THAT THE PRESENCE WAS JUS FOLLOWING ME EVERYWHERE I WENT.
I WOULD HEAR I WALK RIGHT IN MY ROOM AND STAND RIGHT NEXT TO MY BED AND JUST FEEL ITS EYES ON ME.
AND I COULDN'T TELL ANYBODY, 'CAUSE WHO WOULD BELIEVE ME? Martine: ONE NIGHT, I WAS SLEEPING IN THE LIVING ROOM, AND I DECIDED TO HAVE A CAMERA STANDING BY SO THAT I COULD START TAKING PICTURES.
I JUST REMEMBER FEELING THAT HEAVINESS, THAT FEELING OF "HE'S BACK," YOU KNOW? LIKE, I CAN FEEL HIM THERE WITH ME.
SO I JUST STARTED SNAPPING PHOTOS.
IT WAS PITCH DARK, ABOUT 2:00 IN THE MORNING.
SO THERE WAS NO LIGHTS, NO TV WAS ON, NOTHING WAS GOING, AND WHEN I FIRST SAW THE PHOTOS THAT I TOOK, I COULDN'T BELIEVE THA I WAS SEEING WHAT I WAS SEEING.
THERE WAS STREAKS OF ENERGY MOVING ACROSS THE ROOM.
THERE'S A COUPLE OF PHOTOS THAT WERE DIFFERENT, YOU KNOW? THE SWIRL COLOR WAS DIFFERENT, THE TEXTURE WAS DIFFERENT.
ONE OF THEM LOOKED REALLY DISTORTED, AND ONE OF THEM LOOKED VERY DEFINED.
SO IT WAS REALLY, REALLY AMAZING.
Stordahl: WHEN I FIRST SAW THE PHOTOS THAT MY MOM SHOT, I WAS REALLY IN SHOCK BECAUSE THEN, IT'S LIKE, I WASN'T IMAGINING IT.
THERE WAS REALLY SOMETHING IN THE HOUSE.
IT'S LEGITIMATE PROOF.
Martine: THE PHOTO THAT FREAKED ME OUT THE MOS WAS THE ONE WHERE IT LOOKS LIKE A MAN'S IN THIS FRAME ON THE WALL.
Stordahl: IT WASN'T JUST LIKE AN ORB.
IT WAS A PICTURE OF A FACE.
Martine: I COULDN'T FIGURE OU WHAT THAT COULD POSSIBLY BE BESIDES A SPIRIT OR GHOS OR ENERGY OR WHATEVER.
THE PHOTOS WERE ENOUGH VALIDATION TO PROMPT ME TO REACH OU TO A PARANORMAL GROUP.
I WAS SO SCARED IN MY OWN HOUSE.
I DIDN'T WANT TO WAIT TO SEE WHAT TERRIFYING THING WAS GOING TO HAPPEN NEXT.
I NEEDED TO GET THIS OUT OF MY HOUSE.
THE PARANORMAL GROUP CAME IN WITH TWO MEDIUMS -- A MALE AND A FEMALE.
THEY WERE JUST VERY DETERMINED TO MAKE A CONNECTION WITH THE SPIRITS IN THE HOUSE.
THEY HAD DIGITAL RECORDERS.
THEY HAD CAMERAS.
AND THE PENDULUM, THEY EXPLAINED, CONDUCTS ENERGY SO THEY CAN ASK QUESTIONS AND GET SPECIFIC ANSWERS WHEN IT WOULD SWING AROUND IN A SPECIFIC WAY.
DURING THE INVESTIGATION, THE MEDIUMS WERE VERY DRAWN TO ALEXIS' ROOM.
Stordahl: WHEN WE WERE IN MY ROOM, THEY WERE LIKE, "THERE'S DEFINITELY SOMETHING IN HERE.
" THEY'D BEGAN ASKING QUESTIONS WITH THE PENDULUM AND CAME TO THE CONCLUSION THA THERE WAS TWO BOYS IN MY ROOM.
Martine: BOTH MEDIUMS STARTED SAYING, "I'M PICKING UP ON A YOUNG BOY, AND THERE'S ANOTHER LITTLE BOY HERE.
" Stordahl: THEY STARTED ASKING ONE OF THE BOYS QUESTIONS LIKE, "HAVE YOU BEEN WATCHING HER WHEN SHE'S UNDRESSING?" AND THEY WERE GETTING YESES ON EVERY ANSWER.
Martine: THE BOY WAS VERY ATTRACTED TO ALEXIS AND WATCHING ALEXIS TAKING SHOWERS.
WHEN THE MEDIUMS HIT ON THE SHOWER IS WHEN ALEXIS LOST I BECAUSE THEN IT BECAME VERY REAL FOR HER.
IT GIVES ME CHILLS JUST THINKING ABOUT IT.
Stordahl: I COULDN'T HOLD IT ANYMORE.
LIKE, IT WAS SO SCARY, THE FAC THAT SOMETHING WAS WATCHING ME.
SOMETHING WAS INVADING MY PRIVACY.
Martine: THE TWO MEDIUMS FELT THA IT WAS A GOOD IDEA AT THIS POIN TO ASK THESE TWO SPIRITS TO MOVE ON.
AND THEY WERE LIKE, YOU KNOW, "YOU'RE UPSETTING THIS FAMILY.
YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE HERE.
YOU NEED TO MOVE ON.
" AND THEN HE CLOSED HIS EYES AND JUST KIND OF LOOKED LIKE HE WAS IN MEDITATION.
AND I JUST REMEMBER HIM GOING LIKE THAT, AND HE OPENED HIS EYES, AND HE SAID, "OFF THEY WENT.
" AND THEN THE FEMALE MEDIUM SAID, "YEP.
THEY'RE GONE.
" QUITE HONESTLY, I WAS STILL A LITTLE BIT LEERY ABOUT GOING TO SLEEP THAT NIGHT.
I WAS A LITTLE BIT NERVOUS ABOU "DID I STIR SOMETHING UP HERE," YOU KNOW? I MEAN, "IS EVERYTHING GONNA BE OKAY?" BUT I DID NOT HAVE A PROBLEM.
I WAS ABLE TO SLEEP THROUGH THE NIGHT.
IT SEEMED THAT WHATEVER THESE TWO MEDIUMS DID, IT WORKED AND THAT THESE SPIRITS MOVED ON.
IT WAS VERY TERRIFYING TO GO THROUGH.
I'M JUST GLAD THAT IT'S OVER.
WE WENT FROM THIS BLISSFUL HOUSEHOLD TO, ALL OF A SUDDEN, THERE'S PARANORMAL ACTIVITY IN THE HOUSE, AND ALL OF A SUDDEN, I'M NOT SLEEPING AT NIGHT, AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN, I'M GETTING EVPs OF PEOPLE THAT AREN'T THERE.
AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN, I'M GETTING PHOTOS OF STREAKS OF LIGHT GOING ACROSS THE ROOM AND A MAN ON THE WALL.
AND NOTHING I COULD DO WAS GOING TO MAKE IT GO AWAY.
AFTER THIS PARTICULAR EXPERIENCE, I LEARNED A LO ABOUT THE UNKNOWN.
I HAVE SEEN ACTUAL TANGIBLE EVIDENCE THAT THERE IS SOMETHING OUT THERE, AND IT'S PHYSICALLY AFFECTING PEOPLE.
IT WANTS YOUR ATTENTION.
IT NEEDS OUR ENERGY, AND THAT'S SCARY.
Stordahl: FOR SOMEONE WHO'S SKEPTICAL, I HAVE TO SAY THAT THINGS ARE REAL OUT THERE.
PEOPLE LIKE ME HAVE THESE EXPERIENCES ALL THE TIME.
YOU CAN EITHER BELIEVE I OR NOT, BUT EVENTUALLY, IT PROBABLY WILL HAPPEN TO YOU.
Hicks: I COULD HEAR SOME LITTLE GIRL HUMMING AND SINGING, AND NO ONE WOULD BE THERE.
Rose: SHE WILL COME UP AND HUG MY ARM, WHICH WILL TURN MY ARM VERY COLD.
WE HAVE FOUND THE EVIDENCE TO SAY THAT SHE IS, IN FACT, THERE.
Rose: PAT HAD ALWAYS THOUGH THAT THERE WAS A SPIRI LIVING AT CENTRAL HOUSE.
WE HAVE FOUND THE EVIDENCE TO SAY THAT SHE IS, IN FACT, THERE.
Hicks: MY GHOST STORY BEGAN WHEN I STARTED WORKING AT THE CENTRAL HOUSE IN THE TOWN OF NAPOLEON, INDIANA, ABOUT 40 YEARS AGO.
OVER THE YEARS, THE CENTRAL HOUSE HAS BEEN AN INN, A DOCTOR'S OFFICE, A SALOON, AND A STAGECOACH STOP FROM INDIANAPOLIS TO CINCINNATI.
THAT WAS THE ONLY ROAD WE HAD.
AS SOON AS I STARTED WORKING THERE, I REALIZED THERE WAS SOMETHING THERE BECAUSE THINGS WOULD MOVE.
I'VE HEARD THE FOOTSTEPS UPSTAIRS, DOWNSTAIRS.
WE HAVE A CRADLE IN THE FRONT BEDROOM, AND THE CRADLE WAS ROCKING, AND THERE WAS NOBODY UP THERE TO DO THAT.
ONE TIME, I WAS DOWN THERE PUTTING DISHES IN A CLOSET.
I WAS TAKING MASKING TAPE AND PUTTING IT DOWN AND SETTING PLATES UP.
I WENT UPSTAIRS TO GET SOME MORE DISHES.
WHEN WE CAME DOWN, ALL OF OUR EQUIPMENT WAS GONE.
OUR SCISSORS WERE GONE, OUR TAPE WAS GONE.
WE FOUND IT ON ANOTHER PLACE.
WE GOT THE WHOLE THING RESTORED.
WE NOW TAKE CHILDREN IN THE 4th GRADE THROUGH THE CENTRAL HOUSE FOR THEIR LIVING HISTORY.
THE JACKSONVILLE'S HIGH SCHOOL KIDS WERE THERE FOR A REPOR TO DO ON HALLOWEEN.
THEY WANTED TO DO A GHOST STORY, AND THEY'RE ALL STANDING DOWN IN THE HALL, AND I'M COMING DOWN THE STAIRCASE.
HALFWAY DOWN THE STEPS, I HEARD THE CLOCK IN THE LIBRARY GO "DING, DING, DING, DING.
" IT JUST WENT ALL THE WAY AROUND 12 TIMES.
THE ROCKING CHAIR BESIDE THE FIREPLACE STARTED ROCKING, AND SEVERAL BOOKS CAME OU OF THE BOTTOM OF THE BOOKCASE.
AND AS I CAME DOWN THE STAIRCASE, MY RIGHT SLEEVE PUFFS UP WITH AIR.
AND THE KIDS THAT WERE THERE -- THEY SAID TO ME, "WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOUR SLEEVE?" AND I LOOKED DOWN AND IT'S ALL FULL OF AIR.
I FEEL AIR ON THE ARM THAT'S COMING DOWN TO THE OPEN STAIRCASE.
THIS KID STARTED FREAKING OU AND STARTED HOLLERING AND SAYING, "DID YOU DO SOMETHING? DID YOU CAUSE THAT?" OR DO I HAVE SOMEBODY THERE THAT'S DOING THESE THINGS? AND I SAID, "NO, I DON'T HAVE THEM.
" THIS BREEZE COULD NOT COME FROM WINDOWS.
THEY WERE ALL SEALED.
IT COULD NOT COME FROM AIR CONDITIONING BECAUSE THERE'S NONE THERE.
AND IT COULD NOT COME FROM ANYWHERE THAT I KNOW OF.
IT JUST CAME DOWN THE SIDE OF THE STEPS.
Rose: I HEARD ABOUT THE CENTRAL HOUSE THROUGH PAT HICKS.
THE CENTRAL HOUSE IS VERY NOTED FOR ITS HAUNTINGS.
PAT WAS TELLING ME ALL ABOU THE PARANORMAL ACTIVITY AT THE CENTRAL HOUSE.
I WAS ABLE TO GO IN AND EXPERIENCE JUST HOW MANY SPIRITS ARE THERE.
THE LIBRARY AT THE CENTRAL HOUSE SEEMS TO BE ONE OF THE MOS ACTIVE ROOMS IN THE HOUSE.
IT WAS A DOCTOR'S OFFICE A VERY LONG TIME AGO.
BECAUSE THE ROOM HAS BEEN SO ACTIVE, WE SET UP VIDEO CAMERAS IN HOPING TO CATCH THINGS IN THE LIBRARY ITSELF.
ON THE VIDEO EVIDENCE THAT WE HAVE FROM THE LIBRARY, YOU CAN SEE AN ORB THA SHOOTS DOWN THROUGH THE SCREEN, AND THEN THERE'S A HUGE ORB THAT JUST FLOATS.
IN ANOTHER VIDEO THAT WE HAVE, THERE IS AN ORB THAT CHANGES PATTERN AS IT FLOATS ACROSS THE SCREEN.
WITH ALL OF THE HEAVINESS AND THE PRESSURES THAT WE HAD FELT, IT MAKES PERFECT SENSE THAT THERE WOULD BE A LOT OF ORBS IN THAT ROOM.
Hicks: WE KNEW THERE WAS SOMETHING THERE, AND I HAD SEEN SOME ORBS.
[ CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKING .]
BUT ALL I REALLY KNEW WAS OF JESSICA, THE LITTLE GIRL GHOST.
Rose: SHE LIKES TO VISI THE TEAROOM QUITE OFTEN, AND THAT IS WHERE USUALLY I ENCOUNTER HER.
SHE WILL COME UP AND HUG MY ARM, WHICH WILL TURN MY ARM VERY COLD.
Hicks: AFTER A LOT OF RESEARCH, I MET A DESCENDAN OF THE LITTLE GHOST GIRL, WHO CONFIRMED WHO SHE WAS.
WE FOUND OU THAT SHE WAS 13 YEARS OLD AND THAT SHE HAD PASSED AWAY IN 1865 WITH CHICKENPOX.
Rose: THERE WERE A FEW OF US IN THE TEAROOM.
WE WERE TALKING TO JESSICA.
SHE HAS ALSO BEEN KNOWN TO SING.
Hicks: OVER TIME, I HAD HEARD JESSICA SINGING AND HUMMING.
AND I THINK BECAUSE I PLAY THE ORGAN AND THE PIANO THERE, SHE STAYS AROUND ME, AND I CAN ALWAYS HEAR HER HUMMING IN MY EAR.
Rose: I THINK JESSICA AND PA ARE BONDED TOGETHER BECAUSE OF THE MUSIC.
AT ONE POINT, I ASK HER, "JESSICA, WOULD YOU SING FOR ME, PLEASE?" AND OUR TRIMETER IN FRONT OF ME FLICKERED BACK AND FORTH AS IF SHE WAS SINGING A VERSE TO A SONG.
SINCE WE HAVE HAD A LOT OF EXPERIENCES WITH THE STAIRCASE, WE SET A CAMERA UP.
WE WERE VERY FORTUNATE TO CATCH THE IMAGE OF JESSICA.
WITHIN A SPLIT SECOND OF FILM, HER FACE APPEARED AND WAS GONE.
JESSICA MADE HERSELF KNOWN TO US VISUALLY.
Hicks: WELL, I WAS SURPRISED AT WHAT I SAW BECAUSE YOU REALLY THINK, "NOW, DID I REALLY SEE THAT?" BUT NO, I REALLY SAW IT ON THE VIDEO.
WE SLOWED THE VIDEO DOWN.
SHE HAD HER ELBOWS ON TOP OF HER KNEES, AND SHE HAD HER FACE IN HER HANDS.
Rose: YOU CAN SEE JESSICA'S HANDS UP NEAR HER FACE AS IF SHE'S VERY CONTEN LOOKING ON AT WHAT'S GOING ON AS PEOPLE GET READY TO COME UP THE STEPS.
IT'S THE HOLY GRAIL AS FAR AS SOMEONE WHO RESEARCHES THE PARANORMAL.
IT IS AMAZING TO BE ABLE TO PUT A FACE WITH THE NAME.
PAT HAD ALWAYS THOUGH THAT THERE WAS A SPIRI OF A YOUNG GIRL LIVING AT CENTRAL HOUSE.
WE THINK, VERY FORTUNATELY, WE HAVE FOUND THE EVIDENCE TO SAY THAT SHE IS, IN FACT, THERE.
Hicks: AFTER ALL THESE YEARS, IT'S MY HOPE THA THE SPIRIT OF THE LITTLE GIRL WILL BE ABLE TO FINISH TELLING HER STORY AND BE ABLE TO MOVE ON.
