THE PICO HOUSE HOTEL IN LOS ANGELES HAS SEEN IT ALL-- LAVISH PARTIES, RACE RIOTS, AND EVEN A BLOODY MASSACRE RIGHT OUTSIDE ITS FRONT DOOR.
THE ROOTS OF THIS BUILDING GO ALL THE WAY BACK BEFORE LOS ANGELES WAS EVEN A PART OF THE UNITED STATES.
THIS BUILDING HAS NEVER BEEN INVESTIGATED BEFORE.
TONIGHT, THE PICO HOUSE IS READY TO OPEN ITS DOORS EXCLUSIVELY TO THE "GHOST ADVENTURES" CREW BECAUSE OF WHAT UNEXPLAINED PARANORMAL EVENTS HAVE BEEN OCCURRING HERE.
JOINING US ON THIS INVESTIGATION WILL BE THE GUYS FROM HOLLYWOOD GHOST HUNTERS, WHO HAVE BEEN HUNTING GHOSTS FOR OVER 30 YEARS-- KANE HODDER, WHO PLAYED JASON IN "FRIDAY THE 13th," R.
A.
MIHAILOFF-- YOU KNOW HIM AS LEATHERFACE FROM "TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE III," AND RICK McCALLUM, A STUNTMAN AND ACTOR.
THESE ARE MEN WHO KNOW FEAR, AND HAVE LOOKED IT IN THE EYE.
THEY'LL BE WITH US FOR THE ULTIMATE HOLLYWOOD LOCKDOWN AT THE PICO HOUSE, THAT IN 1871, HOUSED A RACIAL RIO OF EPIC PROPORTIONS.
A LITTLE MORE THAN A YEAR AFTER THE PICO HOUSE OPENED ITS DOORS, THE BLOODIEST RIO IN THE HISTORY OF LOS ANGELES ERUPTED RIGHT OUTSIDE.
19 PEOPLE WERE VICIOUSLY KILLED.
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA, WHERE AS THE KINKS ONCE SAID, "EVERYBODY'S A DREAMER, EVERYBODY'S A STAR," AND LIKE A GREA HOLLYWOOD SCRIPT, STEEPED BENEATH THE GLITZ AND GLAMOUR LIES DARKNESS, DRAMA, AND DEATH, AND WE ARE HERE TO DIG IT ALL UP.
WHEN DID LOS ANGELES BECOME A PART OF THE UNITED STATES? 1849, THE, UH, TREATY OF GUADALUPE WAS SIGNED.
MEXICO SOLD, UH, THE CALIFORNIA AREA FOR $15 MILLION.
FAST FORWARD NOW TO THE 1870s, THIS HOTEL WAS BUIL BY PÃO PICO, WHO WAS THE LAS MEXICAN GOVERNOR PRIOR TO THE ANNEXATION BY THE UNITED STATES.
IN JUNE OF 1870, THE PICO HOUSE, THE FIRST 3-STORY HOTEL IN THE CITY, OPENED TO GREAT FANFARE.
WITH ITS GRAND DOUBLE STAIRCASE, COURTYARD, AND FRENCH RESTAURANT, IT WAS THE FINEST HOTEL IN LOS ANGELES.
BUT ITS TRANQUILITY AND OPULENCE WOULD BE SHORT-LIVED, AS L.
A.
ENTERED INTO ONE OF THE MOST TUMULTUOUS TIMES IN ITS HISTORY.
AT THE CORE WAS THE CHINESE POPULATION, NUMBERING JUST UNDER 200 PEOPLE.
SO THIS CHINESE MASSACRE, WHERE ALL THESE PEOPLE WERE KILLED, MURDERED VIOLENTLY, GRUESOMELY YEP, YEP.
HAPPENED RIGHT HERE ON THE GROUNDS OF PICO HOUSE? THIS 500 FEET OF STREE WAS CHINATOWN.
IT WAS NOT UNUSUAL TO HAVE STABBINGS, SHOOTINGS, AND KILLINGS.
I THINK THIS WAS THE WILD, WILD WEST, YEAH.
NO DOUBT.
AN INCIDENT OCCURRED ON THE EVENING OF OCTOBER 24th.
A SHOOTING BETWEEN TWO RIVAL TONGS, RESULTED IN THE SHOOTING OF A, UH, POLICE OFFICER, AND THE, UH, OFFICER DIED, AND, UH, THE LOCAL, UH, COMMUNITY ROSE UP.
WHAT DESCEN WAS THE OFFICER? ANGLO.
OKAY, HE WAS A WHITE MAN.
YES.
WHO KILLED HIM? THE CHINESE WERE SHOOTING AT EACH OTHER, HE GOT IN THE CROSSFIRE-- SO IT WAS A CHINESE BULLET THA KILLED A WHITE POLICE OFFICER? THAT'S CORRECT.
OKAY.
THE WORD HAD SPREAD OU INTO THE COMMUNITY THAT, UH, THE CHINESE, WHO AT THAT TIME WERE NOT WELL LIKED, UH THAT EVEN MADE 'EM-- EVEN MORE NOT WELL LIKED, RIGHT? YEAH.
YEAH, IT TURNED INTO, I THINK, WHAT YOU WOULD CALL A RIOT.
YEAH.
WE ARE HERE BECAUSE THIS, ONE OF THE BLOODIEST RIOTS IN L.
A.
's HISTORY, MUST HAVE LEFT SOME KIND OF PSYCHIC SCAR AT THIS LOCATION.
THE VIOLENCE, THE EMOTIONS, THE RAGE, THE DEATHS-- WE BELIEVE THIS HORRIBLE MASSACRE CREATED SOME KIND OF SPIRITUAL SHOCKWAVE OR PORTAL.
OUR MISSION HERE IS TO PROVE ITS EXISTENCE, BUT JUST AS IMPORTANT, WE ARE HERE TO FIND OU IF THESE LOST SOULS ARE STILL HERE WANDERING THIS LOCATION.
(David) THEY WOULD HANG THEM, AND THEN THEY PROCEEDED TO SHOOT 'EM, DROP THEM ONTO THE GROUND AND THEN STOMP THEIR BODIES.
(Zak) JEEZ.
MANY TIMES, WE FEEL THE EMOTIONS OF SPIRITUAL ENERGY PASS THROUGH US, A TASTE OF WHAT THEY FEL AT THE TIME OF THEIR HORRIFIC DEATHS.
(David) THEIR SPIRITS ARE HERE.
THEY LIVE HERE, AND PART OF WHO THEY ARE, FRANKLY, PART OF WHO THE CHINESE AMERICAN COMMUNITY IS, RESIDES IN THIS LOCATION.
ASIDE FROM THE DEADLY RIOT, THE PICO HOUSE WAS IN THE CENTER OF ONE OF 19th-CENTURY L.
A.
's MOST VIOLENT AREAS, SO THERE'S NO TELLING WHA DEADLY CRIMES OCCURRED HERE THAT WENT UNDOCUMENTED AND MAY CONTRIBUTE TO ITS REPORTED HAUNTINGS.
WE CAME HERE FOR ANSWERS, SO WE SPOKE TO THOSE WHO WITNESSED THESE POLTERGEISTS.
WHEN A FILM CREW WAS HERE LAST, IT WAS A FULL-BLOWN MOVIE, THEY HAD SECURITY GUARDS HERE ON THE SECOND FLOOR.
THAT, UH, SECURITY GUARD WAS SO FRIGHTENED BECAUSE HE HAD TO STAY HERE THE NIGHT BY HIMSELF THAT IN THE MORNING, HE TURNED IN HIS KEYS, AND QUIT, JUST OUT AND OUT QUIT, SAID HE COULD NO COME BACK TO THIS BUILDING BECAUSE OF ALL THE DISTURBANCES THAT HE HAD SEEN.
REALLY? YEAH.
DID THE SECURITY GUARD EVER COME UP FRON AND SAY WHY HE WAS SO RAGED? YEAH, ABSOLUTELY.
WHAT DID HE EXPERIENCE? HE SAW TOOLBOXES BEGIN TO SHIF AND MOVE VIOLENTLY, AND THEN WOULD STOP.
ANYTHING ELSE? HE INDICATED THAT WHEN HE WAS INVESTIGATING WHEN HE HAD HEARD NOISES ON ANOTHER FLOOR, WAS WALKING DOWN THE STAIRS AND FELT SOMEBODY KICK HIM IN THE BACK.
FELT SOMEBODY KICK HIM IN THE BACK? FELT SOMEBODY KICK HIM IN THE BACK.
AND THIS IS ALL JUS FROM ONE NIGHT? THAT'S RIGHT.
WE HAVE, UH, 24-HOUR SECURITY HERE, AND ONE OF THEM REPORTED HE WOULD SEE A GENTLEMAN WITH A LONG BEARD WALKING ALONG THE TOP OF THE ROOF.
HE'D GET UP TO THE TOP OF THE ROOF, AND NO ONE WAS UP THERE.
HE WAS IN ANOTHER PORTION OF THE MONUMENT ONE DAY, AND HE SAW SOME FLYERS, TOOK A LOOK AT THE PICTURE, AND JUST TURNED WHITE, BECAUSE WHAT HE SAW WAS AN ADVERTISEMEN FOR BOOK DISCUSSION ON GOVERNOR PÃO PICO.
HIS PARTNER LOOKED AT HIM AND SAID, "ARE YOU OKAY?" AND HE SAYS, "THAT'S THE GUY I SEE ON THE ROOF EVERY NIGHT.
" THAT SECURITY GUARD HAS NOW TRANSFERRED OUT.
WHEN I CAME IN TO OPEN THE MUSEUM, I HAD TO TURN ON THE LIGHTS, SO WHAT HAPPENED IS, I SEEN, LIKE, A SHADOW RIGHT NEXT TO ME.
DID YOU FEEL THREATENED? YES, I DID.
YOU DID? I'M TELLING YOU, I GOT FROZEN.
YEAH? YOU'RE NOT TELLING ME.
YOU GOTTA TELL ME.
WELL, I'M TELLING YOU-- ALL RIGHT.
YOU'RE NOT-- DAMN IT, TELL ME WHAT HAPPENED! WELL, I'M TELLING YOU, YOU'RE NOT PAYING ATTENTION.
SO I GOT FROZEN, AND THEN FINALLY I SAY YOU KNOW WHAT, I NEED TO TURN ON THE LIGHTS, SO I RAN AND TURNED ON THE LIGHTS, AND IT WAS GONE.
YOU RAN FROM THE DARK SHADOW MAN? YES, YES.
HE WAS LIKE AN EVIL SPIRIT OR SOMETHING? YES.
AND YOU FELT THREATENED? WELL, YEAH, HELLO.
DO YOU HAVE ANY INCLINATION OF WHO IT MAY HAVE BEEN? WELL, NO.
IT'S LIKE INTERROGATION.
TELL ME WHERE YOU WERE ON THIS NIGHT? WELL, I'M NOT GONNA TELL YOU ANYTHING! I THINK THEY KNOW WHY WE'RE HERE.
WE'RE STANDING IN THE EYE OF THE STORM.
THIS WAS A VIOLENT, VIOLENT AREA.
THIS PICO HOUSE, MAN, WAS IN THE HEAR OF ALL THAT RACIAL TENSION, ALL THAT VIOLENCE, MAN, YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED IN HERE.
HAVE YOU EVER HAD A CREW LIKE US COME HERE AND BE LOCKED DOWN FOR AN ENTIRE NIGHT AND INVESTIGATE? WE HAVE NOT.
THIS IS THE FIRST TIME.
YEAH.
WHOO.
YEAH.
GOOD LUCK.
PICO HOUSE! WITHOUT FURTHER ADO, WE ARE THE "GHOST ADVENTURES" CREW, AND IF YOU ARE KICKING SECURITY GUARDS IN THE BACK, AND THROWING HIS TOOLBOXES ALL AROUND, WE OPEN OUR ARMS TO THAT, 'CAUSE WE'RE HERE TO DOCUMENT THAT.
AND YOU CAN THANK ROBER FOR ALLOWING US TO BE IN HERE WITH YOU ALL NIGHT.
SORRY TO GET YOU INVOLVED ON THIS ONE.
YEAH, YEAH, YEAH, APPRECIATE IT.
SOMETIMES, I--THERE'S A BRIEF THOUGHT IN MY MIND WHEN I'M ABOUT TO KILL SOMEBODY--WHAT IF I SNAP AND JUST CHOKE THE (bleep) OUT OF 'EM UNTIL THEY DIE? THE CHOKING PAR I CAN TO GO BEHIND THE SCENES OF "GHOST ADVENTURES," AND TO GET MORE OF AN INSIDE LOOK AT THE MAKING OF "GHOST ADVENTURES," GO TO travelchannel.
com AND CHECK OU OUR ENCOUNTERS VIDEOS.
WITH OUR LOCKDOWN JUST HOURS AWAY, WE HEADED TOWARD HOLLYWOOD TO MEET A FEW LOCAL GHOST HUNTERS.
FEAR IS NO IN THEIR D.
N.
A.
, AND WE FELT ADDING THEM TO OUR INVESTIGATION CREW WOULD HELP US SOLVE THE MYSTERIES OF THE PICO HOUSE.
(screaming) WE'RE AT THE DAPPER CADAVER PROP HOUSE HERE IN LOS ANGELES, WITH NONE OTHER THAN KANE HODDER.
KANE, WE KNOW YOU, UH, MOST NOTABLY FROM WHAT KIND OF HORROR FILM? WELL, MOST PEOPLE KNOW ME FROM THE "FRIDAY THE 13th" MOVIES.
I PLAYED JASON FOR 16 YEARS.
UH, THE ONLY PERSON TO PLAY THE CHARACTER MORE THAN ONCE.
WHAT'S IT LIKE, MAN? 'CAUSE I GO AROUND THE WORLD AND I HUNT DEMONS 'CAUSE THAT'S PAR OF MY BLOOD, YOU KNOW, I JUST--THERE'S A SICK, DARK PART OF ME THAT ENJOYS THIS.
THIS IS WHAT I'M SUPPOSED TO BE DOING.
I KNOW THIS IS A FICTIONAL THING IN THESE MOVIES, BUT IS IT--DO YOU LIKE-- YOU KNOW I DO.
I MEAN, YOU LOVE THIS, RIGHT? YOU KNOW I DO.
AS PART OF MY SUCCESS PLAYING CHARACTERS LIKE THIS, I (bleep) LOVE TO KILL PEOPLE.
YEAH.
I LOVE THE VIOLENCE, I LOVE THE COMING UP WITH NEW WAYS OF DOING IT.
ANY ACTOR YOU EVER TALK TO THAT HAS DONE A SCENE WITH ME THAT HAS DIED IN THE MOVIE WILL SAY, YOU KNOW, "THAT WASN'T VERY EASY.
" (chain saw whirring) SO HOW WAS IT PLAYING, YOU KNOW, LEATHERFACE IN "TEXAS CHAINSAW"-- I MEAN, WHAT IS IT-- DO YOU JUST LOVE PLAYING THESE KIND OF ROLES AND STUFF? YEAH.
IS IT IN YOUR BLOOD? YEAH, IT IS.
YOU KNOW, WHEN I WAS A KID WITH MY FRIEND, WHO'S FATHER WAS THE TOWN UNDERTAKER UNDERTAKER.
WE STARTED, UH, MAKING OUR OWN LITTLE HORROR MOVIES.
WE GOT MORTICIAN'S WAX.
WE USED TO SLEEP OUT, AND ONE NIGHT IT RAINED, AND WE ACTUALLY WEN INTO THE FUNERAL PARLOR AND SLEPT WHERE A BODY WAS ON DISPLAY.
ARE YOU SER-- YOU SLEPT NEAR THE BODY? YEAH, YEAH, YEAH, SO THAT'S-- THAT'S--YEAH, YOU'RE LEATHERFACE.
I'M NOT SURPRISED BY THAT.
SO BLOOD, GORE, DEATH-- THIS HAS BEEN WITH YOU SINCE A CHILD-- YEAH, FOREVER.
OH, COMMON BOND.
(explosion, machine gunfire, glass shattering) YEAH, I ACTUALLY PLAY MOSTLY, UH, MONSTERS.
I PLAYED THE TITLE CHARACTER OF "DARKWOLF," I PLAYED THE MONSTER IN "DEEP STAR SIX," BUT A LOT OF WHAT I DO IS DOUBLING THE PEOPLE IN THE HORROR ICONS UH-HUH.
LIKE SID HAIG, AND ACTUALLY R.
A.
AND KANE.
AS STUNTS.
AS STUNTMAN, YES.
OKAY, VERY COOL.
THE BIG SCREEN ISN'T THE ONLY PLACE THESE HORROR MOVIE ICONS GET THEIR CHILLS.
THEY'RE ALSO THE CAS OF THEIR OWN PARANORMAL INVESTIGATION TEAM-- THE HOLLYWOOD GHOST HUNTERS.
THEY WILL ADD TO OUR STRENGTH, SMARTS, AND EXPERIENCE.
NOW HOW DID YOU COME TO FORM HOLLYWOOD GHOST HUNTERS, AND HOW DID YOU GE INVOLVED IN THE PARANORMAL? WELL, YOU KNOW, MY BUDDY RICK AND I-- RICK McCALLUM, WHO, UH, COFOUNDED THE GROUP WITH ME, BOTH ALWAYS INDEPENDENTLY INVOLVED IN HUNTING FOR GHOSTS JUST AS A HOBBY UH-HUH.
AND THEN WE DID A MOVIE-- WHAT DREW YOU TO THAT? YOU KNOW, I DON'T KNOW, I JUS ALWAYS WAS FASCINATED BY IT.
RIGHT, RIGHT.
AND SO WAS HE, AND HE HAD SOME EXPERIENCES WHEN HE WAS YOUNG, AND WE WERE DOING A MOVIE IN MANSFIELD AT THE PRISON RIGHT, RIGHT.
(Rick) KANE AND I WERE, UH, FILMING A MOVIE CALLED "FALLEN ANGELS" MM-HMM.
AND WE WERE ALL THE WAY BACK IN THE CELL BLOCK, AT THE VERY END, AND HE AND I WERE WALKING BACK, AND HE SAID, "HEY, WHY DON' WE GHOST HUNT A LITTLE BIT?" AND I DIDN'T KNOW THAT HE WAS INTO IT.
THIS IS WHILE YOU WERE FILMING A MOVIE? YEAH, WE'D ALREADY FILMED, YOU KNOW, WE WERE DONE FOR THE DAY, AND WE'D BEEN JUST LOOKING AROUND, AND HE SAID, "LET'S GHOST HUNT.
" I LIKE THESE GUYS ALREADY.
I NEVER STARTED A GROUP UNTIL I FOUND KANE.
MM-HMM.
AND WHAT HAPPENED IS, EVERYBODY ELSE WAS THE KIND WHERE THEY WOULD TIPTOE, AND IF THERE WAS A NOISE, THEY WENT BACKWARDS UH-HUH.
DIDN'T WANT THAT.
WANTED SOMEBODY THAT WOULD GO FORWARDS.
WE WERE WALKING ALONG THAT LONG CELL BLOCK.
RIGHT.
THE VERY END, I LOOKED UP AND I SAW A SHADOW MAN WALKING ALONG, AND I TURNED AROUND TO SAY SOMETHING TO KANE, YOU KNOW, THE BIG, SCARY JASON GUY.
YEAH, YEAH.
AND I TURNED AROUND, AND HE'S GONE, AND I'M LIKE, OH, MAN, I'M NEVER GONNA FIND ANYBODY.
EVEN JASON RUNS AWAY.
RIGHT.
SO I TURN AROUND BACK THIS WAY, AND I LOOK, AND HE'S RUNNING AT A FULL SPRINT RIGHT AFTER IT.
RIGHT THEN I THOUGHT, THIS IS THE GUY WHO'S GO TO BE MY FIRST PARTNER.
WE REALIZED THAT BOTH OF US WERE EQUALLY AS INTERESTED IN THE PARANORMAL, SO WE JUST DECIDED TO FORM A GROUP OF PEOPLE THAT NORMALLY MAKE A LIVING BY TRYING TO SCARE OTHER PEOPLE.
RIGHT.
EVERYBODY IN OUR GROUP HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH HORROR MOVIES.
WE JUST DECIDED TO FORM THE GROUP AND SEE IF WE COULD, UH, YOU KNOW, EXPERIENCE SOME OF THE STUFF YOU GUYS DO.
WHAT IF I WAS TO ASK YOU IF THE "GHOST ADVENTURES" CREW WOULD TEAM UP WITH THE HOLLYWOOD GHOST HUNTERS, AND I SAY LET'S TACKLE A LOCATION HERE IN LOS ANGELES THAT'S NEVER BEEN INVESTIGATED.
IT'S GOT HISTORY, LIKE, AS DARK AS DARK COULD BE.
IT'S BEEN ABANDONED FOR A LONG TIME.
IT WAS A HOTEL IN THE 1800s, 1900s.
WOULD YOU GUYS TEAM UP WITH US AND TACKLE THIS LOCKDOWN? IN A (bleep) SECOND.
I'VE NEVER HEARD A GOOD E.
V.
P.
THAT IMPRESSED ME.
(chain saw whirs, machine gunfire, glass shatters) SO, LIKE, WHEN YOU'RE ON SET, AND YOU'RE GETTING READY TO DO YOUR SCENE, AND YOU HAVE TO KILL SOMEBODY IS THERE EVER THAT SICK THOUGH THAT GOES THROUGH YOUR HEAD, LIKE, MAN, I REALLY DO WAN TO KILL THIS PERSON? SOMEBODY LIKE ME THAT LAUGHS A LOT.
YOU KNOW, I WOULD HAVE A, UH, A BUILT-IN INSANITY DEFENSE IF I EVER DID KILL SOMEBODY.
I DON'T THINK THERE IS ANY ACTOR EVER THAT HAS KILLED MORE PEOPLE ON FILM THAN ME.
REALLY? MURDERING.
YEAH.
AS OPPOSED TO KILLING BAD GUYS, AND, UH, I'M PRETTY PROUD OF THAT.
AND, YES, SOMETIMES I-- THERE'S A BRIEF THOUGH IN MY MIND WHEN I'M ABOU TO KILL SOMEBODY-- WHAT IF I SNAP AND JUS CHOKE THE (bleep) OUT OF 'EM UNTIL THEY DIED? YOU KNOW, I MEAN, IT HAPPENS.
YEAH.
IT JUST--I HAVEN' DONE IT YET, FORTUNATELY, BUT SOMETIMES YOU DO THINK ABOUT THAT STUFF.
CAN YOU PUT YOUR ARM IN YEAH, RIGHT-- DID YOU DO THIS WHILE WE WERE WAITING-- WAITING FOR ME TO COME OVER HERE? UH, NOT THIS ONE, BUT-- THIS ISN'T YOUR WORK? UH, IT-- MINE'S BETTER.
IS IT? CLEANER.
YEAH? YEAH, WHEN I KILL, I KILL CLEAN.
DO YOU? YEAH, I'VE SEEN YOUR WORK.
YEAH.
UH, YEAH, YOU, UH, LIKE TO HOOK PEOPLE AND HANG (bleep).
UH, YEAH, IT'D BE ALL RIGHT.
OKAY.
WHEN YOU'RE IN THESE MOVIES AND YOU'RE DOING THESE SCENES, DO THE GUYS GE REALLY BEAT UP? I MEAN, WHAT'S IT LIKE TO BE, YOU KNOW, STRANGLED BY KANE HODDER? THE CHOKING PAR I COULD PROBABLY EXPLAIN OKAY.
LIKE THIS.
ALL RIGHT, YES.
OKAY, ALL RIGHT.
YOU STILL CONSCIOUS? YEAH, YOU--OKAY.
I JUST GOT STRANGLED BY KANE HODDER YES.
AND IF HE DIDN'T-- A WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE.
RIGHT, IT WAS PROFOUND.
IF HE DIDN'T RELEASE IN PROBABLY TWO MORE MINUTES, I'D PROBABLY BE DEAD.
IT WAS AWESOME.
YEAH, YEAH.
GROWING UP, AND EVEN NOW, WE WATCH GUYS LIKE YOU ON TELEVISION, AND WE WANT TO BE IN THAT MOVIE, WE WANT TO EXPERIENCE WHA YOU GUYS EXPERIENCE ON FILM, TO SEE WHAT IT'S REALLY LIKE TO FEEL THAT RAGE AND EMOTION AS YOU'RE FRIGGIN' KILLING SOMEBODY, OR AS YOU'RE A MONSTER RIPPING HIS HEAD OFF, AND THE CLOSEST THAT THING WE CAN DO TO THAT IS HUNT DEMONS.
NOW ARE YOU AFRAID OF GHOSTS? BROTHER, I'M LIKE THE PIT BULL OF THE PARANORMAL.
YEAH? OKAY, YEAH, THERE'S NOTHIN' THAT SCARES ME.
NOTHIN'? NOTHIN'.
NOTHIN'.
TO DATE SO FAR.
WE'LL SEE ABOUT THAT.
YOU NEVER KNOW, MAN.
I'M READY.
I'M READY FOR THE FIRS EXPERIENCE, BUT I DON'T THINK IT'S GONNA HAPPEN.
YEAH.
AND THE DAY IT HAPPENS YEAH.
I'LL RUN OUT CRYING LIKE A LITTLE GIRL.
AND WHAT I LOOK FORWARD TO WITH YOU GUYS TONIGH IS JUST, UH, YOU KNOW, WORKING WITH THE COOLEST GUYS IN THE BUSINESS.
THAT'S AN EXCITING PART FOR US, TOO.
AND IF I WAS GHOSTS, AND I SAW YOU GUYS COMING AT THEM, I WOULD BE SCARED (bleep) LESS.
YEAH.
I THINK WE CAN BRING A LITTLE EXTRA FLAVOR ON TOP OF WHAT YOU GUYS ALREADY DO OH, WE'RE LOOKING FORWARD TO IT, BROTHER.
SO I THINK BETWEEN THE SIX OF US, THERE SHOULD BE, UH, SOME STUFF HAPPENING.

UH-HUH.
(Rick) YOU HAVE TO ACTUALLY PHYSICALLY TURN I TO OPEN IT UP.
THIS IS THE SAME DOOR, KANE, THAT I SAW WHEN WE WERE DOING INTERVIEWS WANT TO LET YOU KNOW SOMETHING THAT JUST HAPPENED-- WE WERE OUTSIDE THIS DOOR, AND AS I WAS WALKING IN HERE, I NOTICED THIS DOOR RIGHT HERE WAS OPEN.
WHILE I WAS LOOKING AT IT, THIS DOOR RIGHT HERE-- THIS DOOR WAS CLOSED, I SAW THE DOOR GO LIKE THIS, OPEN, AND THEN GO (man) WHOA, WHOA.
(Zak) IS THERE SOMEBODY LEADING US IN HERE? ARE WE SUPPOSED TO COME IN HERE FOR SOMETHING? IF I DO PROVOKE, I'LL CALL OU A CERTAIN SPIRIT.
OH, OKAY.
AND SO BECAUSE THERE WAS A SECURITY GUARD THAT FELT HE WAS KICKED VERY HARDLY IN THE BACK YEAH.
LET'S TRY AND CALL THA PARTICULAR SPIRIT OUT.
THERE'S NO RIGHT FOR BULLIES IN THE LIVING OR THE DEAD, BUT IF YOU WAN TO KICK US, YOU CAN KICK US.
LET'S SEE HOW POWERFUL YOU REALLY ARE.
CLOSE THAT DOOR.
IMPRESS ME WITH SOMETHING.
A LITTLE WEAK, AREN'T YOU? WEAK (bleep).
CLOSE THE DOOR.
DO SOMETHING.
ALL RIGHT, HE WON'T TRY.
KICK ME.
I WOULDN'T WAN TO DO THAT.
KICK ME.
MAYBE HE ONLY DOES I TO PEOPLE WHO ARE AFRAID.
(Zak) AARON, GET UP HERE.
(Aaron) DAMN IT.
WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU CLOSE THE DOOR? THERE GOES THE BAIT.
ALL RIGHT.
(Nick) AARON--ROLLING, ROLLING, ROLLING.
CAN I ASK A QUESTION? WHY DO YOU NOT LIKE THIS DOOR HELD SHUT? WE CONCLUDED OUR E.
V.
P.
SESSION, AND AS WE WERE MOVING TO A DIFFERENT PAR OF THE BUILDING, SOMETHING CAUGHT RICK'S EYE.
NO.
'CAUSE WHEN I WAS STANDING BACK THERE, I WAS LOOKING OUT TO SEE IF I SAW ANYTHING YEAH? THERE WERE TWO SHAPES THA WENT RIGHT ACROSS THE THING, AND IT WAS ON THE OTHER SIDE-- (Aaron) THAT--THAT-- THAT'S WHAT YOU SAW EARLIER, NICK.
WHAT? YOU SAW THAT EARLIER-- YOU SAW A SHADOW WALK PAST.
SEE THERE'S NOTHIN', NOTHIN'.
SEE, RIGHT THERE.
LIKE RIGHT HERE? YEAH.
I DON'T KNOW IF YOU GUYS MADE THE SHADOW FROM OVER THERE YEAH.
BUT THEY WEN THIS WAY, SO I DON'T KNOW IF YOU COULD HAVE MADE THE SHADOW AND MADE IT GO THAT WAY.
WELL, LET'S SEE.
TO FURTHER ANALYZE THIS, WE TRIED TO DEBUNK I BY PLACING OURSELVES IN THE SAME EXACT SPOTS WE WERE IN WHEN RICK SAW THE SHADOW FIGURES.
THERE'S KANE IN THE WINDOW, AND IT'S NOT EVEN SHOWING UP HERE, SO IT'S--THERE'S NO POSSIBLE WAY.
SWEAR TO GOD-- YOU GOT THAT THING ON? SWEAR TO GOD, THERE WAS TWO DISTINCT PEOPLE SHAPES, WALKED ONE RIGHT AFTER ANOTHER RIGHT THIS WAY.
(Zak) WHAT WAS THAT? OH, WHOA.
SECOND FLOOR.
YOU DID NOT SEE THAT-- YOU WEREN'T LOOKIN' IN HERE? WHOA! SHUT UP, SHUT UP.
WHAT? THAT WASN'T COO, COO! L.
A.
's PICO HOUSE HAD A LOT OF PARANORMAL ACTIVITY, SO AS WE GOT READY TO ANALYZE OUR E.
V.
P.
s, WE MADE A CLEVER OBSERVATION.
I SAW HIM IN NIGHT VISION-- HE'S, LIKE, SCARY.
(man) HE'S SCARY AS (bleep).
(Nick) DUDE, THIS IS LIKE AARON JR.
AND AARON SR.
I KNOW IT IS.
ALL RIGHT, RIGHT NOW WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO IS, IS WE ARE GOING TO GE OUR ANALYSIS FROM BILLY, WHO IS OUR E.
V.
P.
ANALYST, UH, TRAVELS AROUND WITH US, DOES LIVE E.
V.
P.
ANALYSIS RIGHT HERE ON THE SPOT.
LET'S FIND OUT WHERE WE'RE AT ON THIS FIRST E.
V.
P.
(Billy) ALL RIGHT, LET'S SEE HERE.
AND THIS IS THE ROOM WHERE I GET HACKED UP AND DIE IN.
(laughs) HEY, I GOT AN ALIBI.
OKAY, WHAT DID YOU-- OKAY, WAIT, WAIT WAIT-- WHAT DID KANE JUST SAY? "I HAVE AN--" DID HE SAY "I HAVE AN ALIBI"? YEAH, 'CAUSE HE WALKED IN THE ROOM WITH ME, AND I WAS LIKE, WELL, "THIS IS WHERE I GET HACKED UP," THIS IS WHERE I'M GONNA DIE, AND THEN HE'S LIKE, "WELL, I GOT AN ALIBI.
" E.
V.
P.
RIGHT AFTER THAT, SO LET'S LISTEN.
(laughs) HEY, I GOT AN ALIBI.
(indistinct voice) OOH, WHAT DO YOU THINK THAT WAS? THAT SOUNDS LIKE THREE SYLLABLES.
DOES IT SOUND LIKE WHISPERS TO YOU, OR IT SOUNDS LIKE A VOICE.
I HEAR-- LET ME HEAR IT AGAIN.
IT SOUNDS LIKE "ANYTHING," SOMETHING ELSE.
OKAY, LET'S LISTEN.
YEAH-- I HEAR "ANYTHING BAD.
" YOU GOTTA REMEMBER-- PAUSE THIS FOR A SECOND.
A LOT OF THESE E.
V.
P.
s, GUYS, ARE, LIKE, INTERACTING WITH YOU.
RIGHT.
AND IT'S LIKE YOU SAID, YOU HAVE AN ALIBI, AND THE SPIRIT'S, LIKE, ANYTHING BAD? GRAB ME MY RECORDER.
I DECIDED TO SHOW KANE, RICK, AND R.
A.
THE E.
V.
P.
AS IT WAS ACTUALLY CAPTURED, BY PLAYING IT BACK THROUGH THE DIGITAL RECORDER'S SPEAKER, AND BY DOING SO, WE COULD ACTUALLY HEAR THE SPIRIT MORE CLEARLY.
YEAH, THAT'S-- THAT'S CLEAR.
SEE NOW THERE--THAT SOUNDS LIKE "ANYTHING BAD?" WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THAT? THAT'S PRETTY COOL.
I LIKE THAT A LOT.
I'VE NEVER HEARD A GOOD E.
V.
P.
THAT IMPRESSED ME.
I LIKE THAT A LOT.
"ANYTHING BAD?" "ANYTHING BAD?" ALL RIGHT, LET'S GO TO-- LET'S GO TO THE NEXT ONE.
ALL RIGHT.
SHOW 'EM THE SILENCE, AND JUST HOW, LIKE, AN E.
V.
P.
WILL STICK OU LIKE A SORE THUMB.
THIS IS WHAT MAKES-- GIVES YOU AN ADVANTAGE WHEN YOU'RE REVIEWING E.
V.
P.
AND YOU CAN ACTUALLY SEE THE WAVE FORM.
YOU CAN SEE WHEN KANE TALKS IS THERE ANYONE IN HERE WITH ME? AND YOU CAN SEE WHEN HE DOESN'T, IT'S JUST A FLAT LINE.
WOULD YOU LIKE TO SAY SOMETHING? A LOT OF TIMES WHEN THERE'S E.
V.
P.
s, ALL THESE FREQUENCY BURSTS-- (Zak) THOSE LITTLE HAIRS, RIGHT? THOSE LITTLE HAIRS ON THE FILE.
LISTEN TO THIS.
(indistinct voice) IT'S FULL SENTENCES.
IT'S TWO SPIRITS TALKING TO EACH OTHER.
AND WHAT I GET FROM I IS A SPIRIT SAYING, "DON'T TELL ANYONE.
" IT GOES, "DON'T TELL ANYONE.
" AND THEN RIGHT HERE IT SAYS, "THEY DON'T KNOW NOTHIN'.
" NOW THAT'S PRETTY GOOD.
"THEY DON'T KNOW NOTHIN'.
" (Zak) WHEN YOU WERE IN THERE, DID YOU HEAR ANYTHING AROUND YOU AT THIS TIME? NONE--NOT A THING.
NO? ALSO, LISTEN TO THIS.
THAT'S--THAT'S TURNING THE RECORDER ON.
THAT'S WHAT THA SOUNDS LIKE.
THAT'S WHAT SHUFFLING SOUNDS LIKE.
YEAH, THIS IS NO SHUFFLING YOU KNOW THE MIDDLE PIECE OF THIS IS REALLY GOOD.
YEAH.
WHICH ONE? "THEY DON'T KNOW NOTHIN'.
" EMPHASIZED, "NOTHIN'.
" "THEY DON'T KNOW NOTHIN'.
" THAT SOUNDS LIKE SOMEBODY'S WHISPERING IN THE (bleep) RECORDER.
I KNOW.
THAT'S PRETTY CONVINCING.
NOW THIS ONE-- BILLY, LET ME SEE THIS ONE.
THIS ONE I LISTENED TO WITH BILLY, AND IT SOUNDS LIKE AN ASIAN ACCENT-- YEAH, PLAY THIS ONE.
LIKE IT CAN'T-- NOT SPEAK--ALL RIGHT.
(indistinct voice) "I WANNA TELL 'EM ABOUT IT.
I KNOW NOTHIN' THAT HAPPENED.
" YEAH.
SOUNDS MORE HISPANIC.
YEAH, THAT'S WHA WE THOUGHT.
KEEP IN MIND THA IT TAKES SPIRITS A LOT OF ENERGY TO SPEAK, AND THAT'S WHY WE CAN'T HEAR THEM ALL THE TIME WITH OUR OWN EARS, AND EVEN IF THEY ARE SCREAMING VERY LOUDLY, THE SENSITIVITY OF THE DIGITAL RECORDER'S MICROPHONE PICKS IT UP AS A WHISPER QUITE OFTEN.
IT'S LIKE THE FIRST TWO ARE ALMOST LIKE CONSPIRATORS, AND THIS GUY IS LIKE, "I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING.
" YEAH.
WELL, GUYS, THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR COMING IN AND INVESTIGATING WITH US.
OH, IT WAS AN HONOR FOR US.
WE'VE BEEN WATCHING YOUR SHOW, AND I SAID IT BEFORE-- THEY INVESTIGATE LIKE WE DO, AND THAT'S WHY WE FEEL THE SAME TYPE OF THING.
WELL, LET'S DO ONE LAST THING.
SO AFTER WE INVESTIGATED WITH THESE THREE AWESOME DUDES, WE ALL FOUND OUT THAT WE ALL COMPLEMENT EACH OTHER IN CERTAIN WAYS IN THE WAY WE INVESTIGATE IT'S LIKE FATHER AND SON RIGHT THERE.
ME AND KANE ARE THE AGGRESSIVE, TOUGH GUYS IN THE BUNCH.
IF YOU WANT TO KICK US, YOU CAN KICK US.
LET'S SEE HOW POWERFUL YOU REALLY ARE.
AND THEN WE'VE GO NICK AND RICK.
YOU DON'T WAN TO MESS WITH US.
NOT ONLY DO THEY RHYME, BUT THEY ALSO SENSE SPIRITS AT THE SAME TIME.
YOU GUYS ARE FEELING IT? YES, LOOK AT THIS.
LOOK AT OUR ARMS.
YEAH, I GOT IT, TOO.
WE'VE GOTTA DO THIS AGAIN OH, YEAH.
REAL SOON.
ANYTIME, BROTHER.
ONE THING (indistinct conversation) IT WAS TIME TO RELEASE KANE, RICK, AND R.
A.
FROM THE PICO HOUSE AND CONTINUE WITH OUR INVESTIGATION.
WE WANTED TO SEE IF WE COULD CAPTURE SOME VISUAL EVIDENCE TO GO WITH THE VOICES WE HAD HEARD, SO WE DECIDED TO USE OUR INFRARED DIGITAL STILL CAMERA.
OPEN IT, AND JUST STAY ON THE OUTSIDE.
BACK OUT.
WHAT I LIKE ABOUT THIS INFRARED DIGITAL STILL CAMERA IS THAT I CAN'T SEE THESE FLASHES.
THE FLASH IS A BUNCH OF INFRARED LIGHTS, AND IT'S CONSTANTLY ON, SO I CAN TAKE RAPID-FIRE PICTURES.
SO I'M TRYING TO CATCH THESE SPIRITS OFF GUARD.
IF THEY ARE SITTING IN THESE ROOMS, HOPEFULLY WE'LL BE ABLE TO SEE 'EM WITH THIS.
THAT'S WHY WE'RE TRYING TO DO IT, LIKE, AMBUSH STYLE.
AARON, YOU READY? YEP.
SECOND FLOOR.
(beeping) GO, GO, GO.
(beep) I WANT TO GO THROUGH THIS WHOLE PLACE AND TAKE, LIKE, 200 PICTURES.
I WANT TO TAKE A PICTURE OF EVERY SQUARE INCH OF THIS ENTIRE BUILDING.
WHOA! SHUT UP, SHUT UP.
WHAT? PIGEONS.
(bleep) PIGEONS, DUDE.
JEEZ.
THEY COME OUT AND GET YOU EVERY TIME.
THAT WASN'T COO, COO! THAT WASN'T COO, COO! WHOA, WHOA, COME HERE.
DID YOU GUYS SEE THAT? WHAT? YOU DID NOT SEE THAT? YOU WEREN'T LOOKING IN HERE.
WHERE WERE YOU LOOKING? I WAS STANDING AT THE DOOR.
IT WAS, LIKE, WEIRD, MAN, IT LOOKED LIKE LIQUID.
LIKE LIQUID? I DON'T KNOW, IT WAS WEIRD.
I'M TRYING TO DESCRIBE IT.
IT WAS NOTHING LIKE I'VE SEEN BEFORE.
IT WASN'T LIKE A LIGHT.
IT WAS LIKE A BLACK LIGHT.
IT HAD, LIKE, A PURPLISH GLOW, BUT IT WAS WEIRD.
IT WAS LIKE IT-- IT, LIKE, MOVED-- IT, LIKE, SHAPE-SHIFTED.
WHAT I SAW WAS ALSO CAPTURED ON OUR INFRARED STILL CAMERA.
IN THIS FIRST PHOTO, YOU CAN CLEARLY SEE A BLACK MASS IN FRONT OF THE WINDOW.
IN THE SECOND PHOTO HERE, TAKEN IMMEDIATELY AFTER, THIS BLACK MASS HAS SHIFTED ITS SHAPE EXACTLY AS I SAW WITH MY BARE EYES, AND IN THE FINAL PHOTO, IT HAS COMPLETELY VANISHED.
WAS THIS THE SAME UNEXPLAINED DARK FIGURE THAT RICK SAW WALKING EARLIER? SWEAR TO GOD-- YOU GOT THAT THING ON? I SWEAR TO GOD, THERE WAS TWO DISTINCT PEOPLE SHAPES, WALKED ONE AFTER ANOTHER RIGHT THIS WAY.
(Zak) REALLY? YEAH, HONEST TO GOD.
THE PICO HOUSE IN THE HEART OF LOS ANGELES TRANSPORTED US BACK IN TIME TO A CITY ENTRENCHED IN THE HORROR OF RACE RIOTS.
WE TEAMED UP WITH THE HOLLYWOOD GHOST HUNTERS AND THE SIX OF US CAME BACK WITH SOME GREAT E.
V.
P.
s AND STILL PHOTOS SHOWING SHADOW FIGURES.
IN THE END, WE FEEL WE HAVE VALIDATED THAT THE PICO HOUSE IS IN FACT A LEGITIMATE HAUNT.
SO THIS CHINESE MASSACRE HAPPENED RIGHT HERE ON THE GROUNDS OF PICO HOUSE.
(man) TURNED INTO A RIOT.
THEY WOULD HANG THEM, AND THEN STOMP THEIR BODIES.
THEIR SPIRITS ARE HERE.
THEY LIVE HERE.
WHOA! SHUT UP, SHUT UP.
MY NAME IS ZAK BAGANS.
I NEVER BELIEVED IN GHOSTS UNTIL I CAME FACE-TO-FACE WITH ONE.
YOU WANTED US.
YOU GOT US.
SO I SET OUT ON A QUES TO CAPTURE WHAT I ONCE SAW ONTO VIDEO.
GO, GO, GO! WITH NO BIG CAMERA CREWS FOLLOWING US AROUND, I AM JOINED ONLY BY FELLOW INVESTIGATOR NICK GROFF AND OUR EQUIPMENT TECH AARON GOODWIN.
THE THREE OF US WILL TRAVEL TO SOME OF THE MOST HIGHLY ACTIVE PARANORMAL LOCATIONS WHERE WE WILL SPEND AN ENTIRE NIGH BEING LOCKED DOWN FROM DUSK UNTIL DAWN.
YOU HAVE REACHED YOUR FINAL DESTINATION-- HELL.
RAW OH! STOP! EXTREME (Aaron) HOLY (bleep)! (Zak) STOP! (bleep) STOP RUNNING! THESE ARE OUR GHOST ADVENTURES.

THE PICO HOUSE HOTEL IN LOS ANGELES HAS SEEN IT ALL-- LAVISH PARTIES, RACE RIOTS, AND EVEN A BLOODY MASSACRE RIGHT OUTSIDE ITS FRONT DOOR.
THE ROOTS OF THIS BUILDING GO ALL THE WAY BACK BEFORE LOS ANGELES WAS EVEN A PART OF THE UNITED STATES.
THIS BUILDING HAS NEVER BEEN INVESTIGATED BEFORE.
TONIGHT, THE PICO HOUSE IS READY TO OPEN ITS DOORS EXCLUSIVELY TO THE "GHOST ADVENTURES" CREW BECAUSE OF WHAT UNEXPLAINED PARANORMAL EVENTS HAVE BEEN OCCURRING HERE.
JOINING US ON THIS INVESTIGATION WILL BE THE GUYS FROM HOLLYWOOD GHOST HUNTERS, WHO HAVE BEEN HUNTING GHOSTS FOR OVER 30 YEARS-- KANE HODDER, WHO PLAYED JASON IN "FRIDAY THE 13th," R.
A.
MIHAILOFF-- YOU KNOW HIM AS LEATHERFACE FROM "TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE III," AND RICK McCALLUM, A STUNTMAN AND ACTOR.
THESE ARE MEN WHO KNOW FEAR, AND HAVE LOOKED IT IN THE EYE.
THEY'LL BE WITH US FOR THE ULTIMATE HOLLYWOOD LOCKDOWN AT THE PICO HOUSE, THAT IN 1871, HOUSED A RACIAL RIO OF EPIC PROPORTIONS.
A LITTLE MORE THAN A YEAR AFTER THE PICO HOUSE OPENED ITS DOORS, THE BLOODIEST RIO IN THE HISTORY OF LOS ANGELES ERUPTED RIGHT OUTSIDE.
19 PEOPLE WERE VICIOUSLY KILLED.
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA, WHERE AS THE KINKS ONCE SAID, "EVERYBODY'S A DREAMER, EVERYBODY'S A STAR," AND LIKE A GREA HOLLYWOOD SCRIPT, STEEPED BENEATH THE GLITZ AND GLAMOUR LIES DARKNESS, DRAMA, AND DEATH, AND WE ARE HERE TO DIG IT ALL UP.
WHEN DID LOS ANGELES BECOME A PART OF THE UNITED STATES? 1849, THE, UH, TREATY OF GUADALUPE WAS SIGNED.
MEXICO SOLD, UH, THE CALIFORNIA AREA FOR $15 MILLION.
FAST FORWARD NOW TO THE 1870s, THIS HOTEL WAS BUIL BY PÃO PICO, WHO WAS THE LAS MEXICAN GOVERNOR PRIOR TO THE ANNEXATION BY THE UNITED STATES.
IN JUNE OF 1870, THE PICO HOUSE, THE FIRST 3-STORY HOTEL IN THE CITY, OPENED TO GREAT FANFARE.
WITH ITS GRAND DOUBLE STAIRCASE, COURTYARD, AND FRENCH RESTAURANT, IT WAS THE FINEST HOTEL IN LOS ANGELES.
BUT ITS TRANQUILITY AND OPULENCE WOULD BE SHORT-LIVED, AS L.
A.
ENTERED INTO ONE OF THE MOST TUMULTUOUS TIMES IN ITS HISTORY.
AT THE CORE WAS THE CHINESE POPULATION, NUMBERING JUST UNDER 200 PEOPLE.
SO THIS CHINESE MASSACRE, WHERE ALL THESE PEOPLE WERE KILLED, MURDERED VIOLENTLY, GRUESOMELY YEP, YEP.
HAPPENED RIGHT HERE ON THE GROUNDS OF PICO HOUSE? THIS 500 FEET OF STREE WAS CHINATOWN.
IT WAS NOT UNUSUAL TO HAVE STABBINGS, SHOOTINGS, AND KILLINGS.
I THINK THIS WAS THE WILD, WILD WEST, YEAH.
NO DOUBT.
AN INCIDENT OCCURRED ON THE EVENING OF OCTOBER 24th.
A SHOOTING BETWEEN TWO RIVAL TONGS, RESULTED IN THE SHOOTING OF A, UH, POLICE OFFICER, AND THE, UH, OFFICER DIED, AND, UH, THE LOCAL, UH, COMMUNITY ROSE UP.
WHAT DESCEN WAS THE OFFICER? ANGLO.
OKAY, HE WAS A WHITE MAN.
YES.
WHO KILLED HIM? THE CHINESE WERE SHOOTING AT EACH OTHER, HE GOT IN THE CROSSFIRE-- SO IT WAS A CHINESE BULLET THA KILLED A WHITE POLICE OFFICER? THAT'S CORRECT.
OKAY.
THE WORD HAD SPREAD OU INTO THE COMMUNITY THAT, UH, THE CHINESE, WHO AT THAT TIME WERE NOT WELL LIKED, UH THAT EVEN MADE 'EM-- EVEN MORE NOT WELL LIKED, RIGHT? YEAH.
YEAH, IT TURNED INTO, I THINK, WHAT YOU WOULD CALL A RIOT.
YEAH.
WE ARE HERE BECAUSE THIS, ONE OF THE BLOODIEST RIOTS IN L.
A.
's HISTORY, MUST HAVE LEFT SOME KIND OF PSYCHIC SCAR AT THIS LOCATION.
THE VIOLENCE, THE EMOTIONS, THE RAGE, THE DEATHS-- WE BELIEVE THIS HORRIBLE MASSACRE CREATED SOME KIND OF SPIRITUAL SHOCKWAVE OR PORTAL.
OUR MISSION HERE IS TO PROVE ITS EXISTENCE, BUT JUST AS IMPORTANT, WE ARE HERE TO FIND OU IF THESE LOST SOULS ARE STILL HERE WANDERING THIS LOCATION.
(David) THEY WOULD HANG THEM, AND THEN THEY PROCEEDED TO SHOOT 'EM, DROP THEM ONTO THE GROUND AND THEN STOMP THEIR BODIES.
(Zak) JEEZ.
MANY TIMES, WE FEEL THE EMOTIONS OF SPIRITUAL ENERGY PASS THROUGH US, A TASTE OF WHAT THEY FEL AT THE TIME OF THEIR HORRIFIC DEATHS.
(David) THEIR SPIRITS ARE HERE.
THEY LIVE HERE, AND PART OF WHO THEY ARE, FRANKLY, PART OF WHO THE CHINESE AMERICAN COMMUNITY IS, RESIDES IN THIS LOCATION.
ASIDE FROM THE DEADLY RIOT, THE PICO HOUSE WAS IN THE CENTER OF ONE OF 19th-CENTURY L.
A.
's MOST VIOLENT AREAS, SO THERE'S NO TELLING WHA DEADLY CRIMES OCCURRED HERE THAT WENT UNDOCUMENTED AND MAY CONTRIBUTE TO ITS REPORTED HAUNTINGS.
WE CAME HERE FOR ANSWERS, SO WE SPOKE TO THOSE WHO WITNESSED THESE POLTERGEISTS.
WHEN A FILM CREW WAS HERE LAST, IT WAS A FULL-BLOWN MOVIE, THEY HAD SECURITY GUARDS HERE ON THE SECOND FLOOR.
THAT, UH, SECURITY GUARD WAS SO FRIGHTENED BECAUSE HE HAD TO STAY HERE THE NIGHT BY HIMSELF THAT IN THE MORNING, HE TURNED IN HIS KEYS, AND QUIT, JUST OUT AND OUT QUIT, SAID HE COULD NO COME BACK TO THIS BUILDING BECAUSE OF ALL THE DISTURBANCES THAT HE HAD SEEN.
REALLY? YEAH.
DID THE SECURITY GUARD EVER COME UP FRON AND SAY WHY HE WAS SO RAGED? YEAH, ABSOLUTELY.
WHAT DID HE EXPERIENCE? HE SAW TOOLBOXES BEGIN TO SHIF AND MOVE VIOLENTLY, AND THEN WOULD STOP.
ANYTHING ELSE? HE INDICATED THAT WHEN HE WAS INVESTIGATING WHEN HE HAD HEARD NOISES ON ANOTHER FLOOR, WAS WALKING DOWN THE STAIRS AND FELT SOMEBODY KICK HIM IN THE BACK.
FELT SOMEBODY KICK HIM IN THE BACK? FELT SOMEBODY KICK HIM IN THE BACK.
AND THIS IS ALL JUS FROM ONE NIGHT? THAT'S RIGHT.
WE HAVE, UH, 24-HOUR SECURITY HERE, AND ONE OF THEM REPORTED HE WOULD SEE A GENTLEMAN WITH A LONG BEARD WALKING ALONG THE TOP OF THE ROOF.
HE'D GET UP TO THE TOP OF THE ROOF, AND NO ONE WAS UP THERE.
HE WAS IN ANOTHER PORTION OF THE MONUMENT ONE DAY, AND HE SAW SOME FLYERS, TOOK A LOOK AT THE PICTURE, AND JUST TURNED WHITE, BECAUSE WHAT HE SAW WAS AN ADVERTISEMEN FOR BOOK DISCUSSION ON GOVERNOR PÃO PICO.
HIS PARTNER LOOKED AT HIM AND SAID, "ARE YOU OKAY?" AND HE SAYS, "THAT'S THE GUY I SEE ON THE ROOF EVERY NIGHT.
" THAT SECURITY GUARD HAS NOW TRANSFERRED OUT.
WHEN I CAME IN TO OPEN THE MUSEUM, I HAD TO TURN ON THE LIGHTS, SO WHAT HAPPENED IS, I SEEN, LIKE, A SHADOW RIGHT NEXT TO ME.
DID YOU FEEL THREATENED? YES, I DID.
YOU DID? I'M TELLING YOU, I GOT FROZEN.
YEAH? YOU'RE NOT TELLING ME.
YOU GOTTA TELL ME.
WELL, I'M TELLING YOU-- ALL RIGHT.
YOU'RE NOT-- DAMN IT, TELL ME WHAT HAPPENED! WELL, I'M TELLING YOU, YOU'RE NOT PAYING ATTENTION.
SO I GOT FROZEN, AND THEN FINALLY I SAY YOU KNOW WHAT, I NEED TO TURN ON THE LIGHTS, SO I RAN AND TURNED ON THE LIGHTS, AND IT WAS GONE.
YOU RAN FROM THE DARK SHADOW MAN? YES, YES.
HE WAS LIKE AN EVIL SPIRIT OR SOMETHING? YES.
AND YOU FELT THREATENED? WELL, YEAH, HELLO.
DO YOU HAVE ANY INCLINATION OF WHO IT MAY HAVE BEEN? WELL, NO.
IT'S LIKE INTERROGATION.
TELL ME WHERE YOU WERE ON THIS NIGHT? WELL, I'M NOT GONNA TELL YOU ANYTHING! I THINK THEY KNOW WHY WE'RE HERE.
WE'RE STANDING IN THE EYE OF THE STORM.
THIS WAS A VIOLENT, VIOLENT AREA.
THIS PICO HOUSE, MAN, WAS IN THE HEAR OF ALL THAT RACIAL TENSION, ALL THAT VIOLENCE, MAN, YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED IN HERE.
HAVE YOU EVER HAD A CREW LIKE US COME HERE AND BE LOCKED DOWN FOR AN ENTIRE NIGHT AND INVESTIGATE? WE HAVE NOT.
THIS IS THE FIRST TIME.
YEAH.
WHOO.
YEAH.
GOOD LUCK.
PICO HOUSE! WITHOUT FURTHER ADO, WE ARE THE "GHOST ADVENTURES" CREW, AND IF YOU ARE KICKING SECURITY GUARDS IN THE BACK, AND THROWING HIS TOOLBOXES ALL AROUND, WE OPEN OUR ARMS TO THAT, 'CAUSE WE'RE HERE TO DOCUMENT THAT.
AND YOU CAN THANK ROBER FOR ALLOWING US TO BE IN HERE WITH YOU ALL NIGHT.
SORRY TO GET YOU INVOLVED ON THIS ONE.
YEAH, YEAH, YEAH, APPRECIATE IT.
SOMETIMES, I--THERE'S A BRIEF THOUGHT IN MY MIND WHEN I'M ABOUT TO KILL SOMEBODY--WHAT IF I SNAP AND JUST CHOKE THE (bleep) OUT OF 'EM UNTIL THEY DIE? THE CHOKING PAR I CAN TO GO BEHIND THE SCENES OF "GHOST ADVENTURES," AND TO GET MORE OF AN INSIDE LOOK AT THE MAKING OF "GHOST ADVENTURES," GO TO travelchannel.
com AND CHECK OU OUR ENCOUNTERS VIDEOS.
WITH OUR LOCKDOWN JUST HOURS AWAY, WE HEADED TOWARD HOLLYWOOD TO MEET A FEW LOCAL GHOST HUNTERS.
FEAR IS NO IN THEIR D.
N.
A.
, AND WE FELT ADDING THEM TO OUR INVESTIGATION CREW WOULD HELP US SOLVE THE MYSTERIES OF THE PICO HOUSE.
(screaming) WE'RE AT THE DAPPER CADAVER PROP HOUSE HERE IN LOS ANGELES, WITH NONE OTHER THAN KANE HODDER.
KANE, WE KNOW YOU, UH, MOST NOTABLY FROM WHAT KIND OF HORROR FILM? WELL, MOST PEOPLE KNOW ME FROM THE "FRIDAY THE 13th" MOVIES.
I PLAYED JASON FOR 16 YEARS.
UH, THE ONLY PERSON TO PLAY THE CHARACTER MORE THAN ONCE.
WHAT'S IT LIKE, MAN? 'CAUSE I GO AROUND THE WORLD AND I HUNT DEMONS 'CAUSE THAT'S PAR OF MY BLOOD, YOU KNOW, I JUST--THERE'S A SICK, DARK PART OF ME THAT ENJOYS THIS.
THIS IS WHAT I'M SUPPOSED TO BE DOING.
I KNOW THIS IS A FICTIONAL THING IN THESE MOVIES, BUT IS IT--DO YOU LIKE-- YOU KNOW I DO.
I MEAN, YOU LOVE THIS, RIGHT? YOU KNOW I DO.
AS PART OF MY SUCCESS PLAYING CHARACTERS LIKE THIS, I (bleep) LOVE TO KILL PEOPLE.
YEAH.
I LOVE THE VIOLENCE, I LOVE THE COMING UP WITH NEW WAYS OF DOING IT.
ANY ACTOR YOU EVER TALK TO THAT HAS DONE A SCENE WITH ME THAT HAS DIED IN THE MOVIE WILL SAY, YOU KNOW, "THAT WASN'T VERY EASY.
" (chain saw whirring) SO HOW WAS IT PLAYING, YOU KNOW, LEATHERFACE IN "TEXAS CHAINSAW"-- I MEAN, WHAT IS IT-- DO YOU JUST LOVE PLAYING THESE KIND OF ROLES AND STUFF? YEAH.
IS IT IN YOUR BLOOD? YEAH, IT IS.
YOU KNOW, WHEN I WAS A KID WITH MY FRIEND, WHO'S FATHER WAS THE TOWN UNDERTAKER UNDERTAKER.
WE STARTED, UH, MAKING OUR OWN LITTLE HORROR MOVIES.
WE GOT MORTICIAN'S WAX.
WE USED TO SLEEP OUT, AND ONE NIGHT IT RAINED, AND WE ACTUALLY WEN INTO THE FUNERAL PARLOR AND SLEPT WHERE A BODY WAS ON DISPLAY.
ARE YOU SER-- YOU SLEPT NEAR THE BODY? YEAH, YEAH, YEAH, SO THAT'S-- THAT'S--YEAH, YOU'RE LEATHERFACE.
I'M NOT SURPRISED BY THAT.
SO BLOOD, GORE, DEATH-- THIS HAS BEEN WITH YOU SINCE A CHILD-- YEAH, FOREVER.
OH, COMMON BOND.
(explosion, machine gunfire, glass shattering) YEAH, I ACTUALLY PLAY MOSTLY, UH, MONSTERS.
I PLAYED THE TITLE CHARACTER OF "DARKWOLF," I PLAYED THE MONSTER IN "DEEP STAR SIX," BUT A LOT OF WHAT I DO IS DOUBLING THE PEOPLE IN THE HORROR ICONS UH-HUH.
LIKE SID HAIG, AND ACTUALLY R.
A.
AND KANE.
AS STUNTS.
AS STUNTMAN, YES.
OKAY, VERY COOL.
THE BIG SCREEN ISN'T THE ONLY PLACE THESE HORROR MOVIE ICONS GET THEIR CHILLS.
THEY'RE ALSO THE CAS OF THEIR OWN PARANORMAL INVESTIGATION TEAM-- THE HOLLYWOOD GHOST HUNTERS.
THEY WILL ADD TO OUR STRENGTH, SMARTS, AND EXPERIENCE.
NOW HOW DID YOU COME TO FORM HOLLYWOOD GHOST HUNTERS, AND HOW DID YOU GE INVOLVED IN THE PARANORMAL? WELL, YOU KNOW, MY BUDDY RICK AND I-- RICK McCALLUM, WHO, UH, COFOUNDED THE GROUP WITH ME, BOTH ALWAYS INDEPENDENTLY INVOLVED IN HUNTING FOR GHOSTS JUST AS A HOBBY UH-HUH.
AND THEN WE DID A MOVIE-- WHAT DREW YOU TO THAT? YOU KNOW, I DON'T KNOW, I JUS ALWAYS WAS FASCINATED BY IT.
RIGHT, RIGHT.
AND SO WAS HE, AND HE HAD SOME EXPERIENCES WHEN HE WAS YOUNG, AND WE WERE DOING A MOVIE IN MANSFIELD AT THE PRISON RIGHT, RIGHT.
(Rick) KANE AND I WERE, UH, FILMING A MOVIE CALLED "FALLEN ANGELS" MM-HMM.
AND WE WERE ALL THE WAY BACK IN THE CELL BLOCK, AT THE VERY END, AND HE AND I WERE WALKING BACK, AND HE SAID, "HEY, WHY DON' WE GHOST HUNT A LITTLE BIT?" AND I DIDN'T KNOW THAT HE WAS INTO IT.
THIS IS WHILE YOU WERE FILMING A MOVIE? YEAH, WE'D ALREADY FILMED, YOU KNOW, WE WERE DONE FOR THE DAY, AND WE'D BEEN JUST LOOKING AROUND, AND HE SAID, "LET'S GHOST HUNT.
" I LIKE THESE GUYS ALREADY.
I NEVER STARTED A GROUP UNTIL I FOUND KANE.
MM-HMM.
AND WHAT HAPPENED IS, EVERYBODY ELSE WAS THE KIND WHERE THEY WOULD TIPTOE, AND IF THERE WAS A NOISE, THEY WENT BACKWARDS UH-HUH.
DIDN'T WANT THAT.
WANTED SOMEBODY THAT WOULD GO FORWARDS.
WE WERE WALKING ALONG THAT LONG CELL BLOCK.
RIGHT.
THE VERY END, I LOOKED UP AND I SAW A SHADOW MAN WALKING ALONG, AND I TURNED AROUND TO SAY SOMETHING TO KANE, YOU KNOW, THE BIG, SCARY JASON GUY.
YEAH, YEAH.
AND I TURNED AROUND, AND HE'S GONE, AND I'M LIKE, OH, MAN, I'M NEVER GONNA FIND ANYBODY.
EVEN JASON RUNS AWAY.
RIGHT.
SO I TURN AROUND BACK THIS WAY, AND I LOOK, AND HE'S RUNNING AT A FULL SPRINT RIGHT AFTER IT.
RIGHT THEN I THOUGHT, THIS IS THE GUY WHO'S GO TO BE MY FIRST PARTNER.
WE REALIZED THAT BOTH OF US WERE EQUALLY AS INTERESTED IN THE PARANORMAL, SO WE JUST DECIDED TO FORM A GROUP OF PEOPLE THAT NORMALLY MAKE A LIVING BY TRYING TO SCARE OTHER PEOPLE.
RIGHT.
EVERYBODY IN OUR GROUP HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH HORROR MOVIES.
WE JUST DECIDED TO FORM THE GROUP AND SEE IF WE COULD, UH, YOU KNOW, EXPERIENCE SOME OF THE STUFF YOU GUYS DO.
WHAT IF I WAS TO ASK YOU IF THE "GHOST ADVENTURES" CREW WOULD TEAM UP WITH THE HOLLYWOOD GHOST HUNTERS, AND I SAY LET'S TACKLE A LOCATION HERE IN LOS ANGELES THAT'S NEVER BEEN INVESTIGATED.
IT'S GOT HISTORY, LIKE, AS DARK AS DARK COULD BE.
IT'S BEEN ABANDONED FOR A LONG TIME.
IT WAS A HOTEL IN THE 1800s, 1900s.
WOULD YOU GUYS TEAM UP WITH US AND TACKLE THIS LOCKDOWN? IN A (bleep) SECOND.
I'VE NEVER HEARD A GOOD E.
V.
P.
THAT IMPRESSED ME.
(chain saw whirs, machine gunfire, glass shatters) SO, LIKE, WHEN YOU'RE ON SET, AND YOU'RE GETTING READY TO DO YOUR SCENE, AND YOU HAVE TO KILL SOMEBODY IS THERE EVER THAT SICK THOUGH THAT GOES THROUGH YOUR HEAD, LIKE, MAN, I REALLY DO WAN TO KILL THIS PERSON? SOMEBODY LIKE ME THAT LAUGHS A LOT.
YOU KNOW, I WOULD HAVE A, UH, A BUILT-IN INSANITY DEFENSE IF I EVER DID KILL SOMEBODY.
I DON'T THINK THERE IS ANY ACTOR EVER THAT HAS KILLED MORE PEOPLE ON FILM THAN ME.
REALLY? MURDERING.
YEAH.
AS OPPOSED TO KILLING BAD GUYS, AND, UH, I'M PRETTY PROUD OF THAT.
AND, YES, SOMETIMES I-- THERE'S A BRIEF THOUGH IN MY MIND WHEN I'M ABOU TO KILL SOMEBODY-- WHAT IF I SNAP AND JUS CHOKE THE (bleep) OUT OF 'EM UNTIL THEY DIED? YOU KNOW, I MEAN, IT HAPPENS.
YEAH.
IT JUST--I HAVEN' DONE IT YET, FORTUNATELY, BUT SOMETIMES YOU DO THINK ABOUT THAT STUFF.
CAN YOU PUT YOUR ARM IN YEAH, RIGHT-- DID YOU DO THIS WHILE WE WERE WAITING-- WAITING FOR ME TO COME OVER HERE? UH, NOT THIS ONE, BUT-- THIS ISN'T YOUR WORK? UH, IT-- MINE'S BETTER.
IS IT? CLEANER.
YEAH? YEAH, WHEN I KILL, I KILL CLEAN.
DO YOU? YEAH, I'VE SEEN YOUR WORK.
YEAH.
UH, YEAH, YOU, UH, LIKE TO HOOK PEOPLE AND HANG (bleep).
UH, YEAH, IT'D BE ALL RIGHT.
OKAY.
WHEN YOU'RE IN THESE MOVIES AND YOU'RE DOING THESE SCENES, DO THE GUYS GE REALLY BEAT UP? I MEAN, WHAT'S IT LIKE TO BE, YOU KNOW, STRANGLED BY KANE HODDER? THE CHOKING PAR I COULD PROBABLY EXPLAIN OKAY.
LIKE THIS.
ALL RIGHT, YES.
OKAY, ALL RIGHT.
YOU STILL CONSCIOUS? YEAH, YOU--OKAY.
I JUST GOT STRANGLED BY KANE HODDER YES.
AND IF HE DIDN'T-- A WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE.
RIGHT, IT WAS PROFOUND.
IF HE DIDN'T RELEASE IN PROBABLY TWO MORE MINUTES, I'D PROBABLY BE DEAD.
IT WAS AWESOME.
YEAH, YEAH.
GROWING UP, AND EVEN NOW, WE WATCH GUYS LIKE YOU ON TELEVISION, AND WE WANT TO BE IN THAT MOVIE, WE WANT TO EXPERIENCE WHA YOU GUYS EXPERIENCE ON FILM, TO SEE WHAT IT'S REALLY LIKE TO FEEL THAT RAGE AND EMOTION AS YOU'RE FRIGGIN' KILLING SOMEBODY, OR AS YOU'RE A MONSTER RIPPING HIS HEAD OFF, AND THE CLOSEST THAT THING WE CAN DO TO THAT IS HUNT DEMONS.
NOW ARE YOU AFRAID OF GHOSTS? BROTHER, I'M LIKE THE PIT BULL OF THE PARANORMAL.
YEAH? OKAY, YEAH, THERE'S NOTHIN' THAT SCARES ME.
NOTHIN'? NOTHIN'.
NOTHIN'.
TO DATE SO FAR.
WE'LL SEE ABOUT THAT.
YOU NEVER KNOW, MAN.
I'M READY.
I'M READY FOR THE FIRS EXPERIENCE, BUT I DON'T THINK IT'S GONNA HAPPEN.
YEAH.
AND THE DAY IT HAPPENS YEAH.
I'LL RUN OUT CRYING LIKE A LITTLE GIRL.
AND WHAT I LOOK FORWARD TO WITH YOU GUYS TONIGH IS JUST, UH, YOU KNOW, WORKING WITH THE COOLEST GUYS IN THE BUSINESS.
THAT'S AN EXCITING PART FOR US, TOO.
AND IF I WAS GHOSTS, AND I SAW YOU GUYS COMING AT THEM, I WOULD BE SCARED (bleep) LESS.
YEAH.
I THINK WE CAN BRING A LITTLE EXTRA FLAVOR ON TOP OF WHAT YOU GUYS ALREADY DO OH, WE'RE LOOKING FORWARD TO IT, BROTHER.
SO I THINK BETWEEN THE SIX OF US, THERE SHOULD BE, UH, SOME STUFF HAPPENING.
IS ANYBODY IN HERE WITH US? DO YOU HEAR THAT? IF YOU CAN HEAR MY VOICE DOWN THERE, MAKE A NOISE.
THAT'S FOOTSTEPS.
(bell tolling) YOU HEAR THE BELL? IT'S 7:00 P.
M.
, AND THE SUN IS GOING DOWN.
SO WE ARE GETTING READY TO GET LOCKED DOWN INSIDE A PLACE THAT HAS NEVER BEEN INVESTIGATED BEFORE BY ANY PARANORMAL GROUP AT ALL.
WE ARE IN THE HEART OF L.
A.
STANDING RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME ARE TWO SECURITY GUARDS THAT ARE GONNA SECURE THIS ENTIRE PERIMETER TONIGH WHILE WE'RE LOCKED INSIDE.
ALL RIGHT, GUYS, LOCK US IN.
DON'T LET US OU UNTIL MORNING TIME.
GOT IT? (man) LOCK 'ER UP.
PÃO PICO! PÃO PICO! SIR? I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING US IN YOUR BUILDING TONIGHT.
WE ARE HERE TO CONTACT YOU AND WHOEVER MAY HAVE STAYED AT THE HOTEL.
AND IF YOU'RE THE SPIRI THAT KICKED A GUY VERY VIOLENTLY ON HIS BACK-- THE SECURITY GUARD-- AND MADE HIM TURN IN HIS KEYS, WE WANT YOU TO SHOW US HOW HARD YOU CAN KICK.
'CAUSE WE DON'T HAVE KEYS TO UNLOCK OURSELVES OUT.
WE'RE NOT GOING ANYWHERE.
IT'S TIME FOR THE HOLLYWOOD GHOST HUNTERS TO JOIN THE "GHOST ADVENTURES" CREW ON OUR LOCKDOWN.
WE'RE GONNA GET KANE HODDER, WHO PLAYED JASON IN "FRIDAY THE 13th," R.
A.
MIHAILOFF, WHO PLAYED LEATHERFACE IN "TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE III," AND THE CO-FOUNDER OF THE GROUP, RICK McCALLUM, WHO'S ALSO AN ACTOR AND A STUNTMAN.
WHAT'S UP, GUYS? HEY.
YOU GUYS SURE YOU WANT TO LE JASON AND LEATHERFACE INSIDE THIS PLACE WITH US ON LOCKDOWN? I'D LOVE IT.
ARE YOU SURE? I THINK IT'S GONNA BE AWESOME.
(Aaron) I'M SURE, MAN.
(laughter) THERE'S NO TURNING BACK NOW.
KANE, WHAT'S UP, BUDDY? HOW ARE YOU? HOW YOU DOIN', BUD? STRONG ARM AROUND MY NECK.
ALL RIGHT, WHAT'S UP, BUDDY? LEATHERFACE.
WHAT'S UP, BIG GUY? THIS IS THE ULTIMATE LOCKDOWN.
HELL YEAH! NOW THAT WE WERE GEARED UP, LIGHTS OFF AND NIGHT VISION ON, IT WAS TIME FOR THE SIX OF US TO HEAD INTO THE DARK WORLD UNDERGROUND, WHERE LOS ANGELES WAS BORN INTO THE UNITED STATES.
SO DOWN HERE IN THIS UNDERGROUND SECTION, GUYS, WE'VE LEARNED THA A LOT OF THE CHINESE USED TO--WERE BASICALLY FORCED TO LIVE DOWN THERE, AND THAT'S WHY YOU'RE GOING TO SEE ON THE WALLS, THERE'S LIKE SOME STUCCO AND PLASTER THAT'S PAINTED, LIKE, PINK AND GREEN, AND IT'S REALLY COOL, 'CAUSE IT REMINDED US OF THE UNDERGROUND VAULTS IN SCOTLAND.
SO LET'S GO SEE WHAT HAPPENS.
WE DON'T KNOW.
WE'VE NEVER (Aaron) LET'S DO IT.
LET'S DO IT.
MY NAME'S ZAK.
I GOT FIVE OTHER FRIENDS WITH ME.
IF THERE'S SOMEBODY IN HERE, I WANT YOU TO COME OU AND INTERACT WITH US, I WANT YOU TO COME OU AND TALK TO US.
THIS WAS ONE OF THE ROOMS WHERE THEY SAID THAT THEY COULD SEE, LIKE, PLASTER ON THE WALLS.
YEAH.
TO TRY AND MAKE IT THE BEST, MOST COMFORTABLE PLACE.
YEAH, RIGHT? (Nick) ZAK, YOU WAN TO ROLL ON THE RECORDER? YEAH.
DIGITAL RECORDER.
YOU GUYS WANT TO DO AN E.
V.
P.
SESSION? YEAH, LET'S DO IT.
OUR DIGITAL RECORDERS CAPTURE E.
V.
P.
s, OR ELECTRONIC VOICE PHENOMENAS, WHICH ARE SPIRITS SPEAKING WITHIN THE WHITE NOISE.
LET'S JUST MAKE SURE EVERYBODY'S ABSOLUTELY STILL, AND WHAT'S REALLY COOL ABOUT THIS IS, TYPICALLY, SOMETIMES WE'LL GO OFF BY OURSELVES-- NICK, AARON--BUT NOW WE GOT SIX PEOPLE IN HERE TO WITNESS AN E.
V.
P.
SESSION.
IS ANYBODY IN HERE WITH US? I KNOW THIS IS PROBABLY WEIRD, BECAUSE NOBODY HAS EVER COME DOWN HERE AND HAS ACTUALLY TRIED TO COMMUNICATE WITH YOU, BUT WE'RE HERE TO COMMUNICATE WITH YOU DIRECTLY.
(Nick) DO YOU HEAR THAT-- FOOTSTEPS? (Aaron) I JUST HEARD SOMETHING RIGHT OVER THERE.
YEP.
SEE? I HEARD IT AGAIN.
IF YOU CAN HEAR MY VOICE DOWN THERE, MAKE A NOISE.
THAT'S FOOTSTEPS.
DID SOMETHING BAD HAPPEN IN THIS ROOM RIGHT HERE? (man) HOLD ON, DUDE.
IT SEEMS LIKE IT'S RIGHT IN HERE.
LOCKED DEEP IN THE PICO HOUSE UNDERGROUND TUNNELS, ALL SIX OF US WERE FEELING THE SPIRITS, AND NOW WE'RE EAGER TO FIND MORE EVIDENCE.
COME DOWN HERE.
MOVING, MOVING, MOVING.
MOVING, MOVING.
MOVING, MOVING, MOVING.
WALKING, WALKING.
IS SOMEONE DOWN HERE? HOLY (bleep).
6.
9.
WHERE? LET ME SEE.
WELL, IT'S GONE NOW, BUT I SWEAR, IT WAS 6--6.
9.
R.
A.
JUST CAPTURED A SPIKE ON HIS E.
M.
F.
DETECTOR, WHICH MEASURE PRESENCES AND DISTURBANCES OF ELECTROMAGNETIC ENERGY-- SOMETHING GHOSTS CAN AFFEC WHEN THEY MANIFEST.
NOTHIN' ELSEWHERE? NO, NO, IT WAS JUST FOR THAT BRIEF MOMENT OF TIME, ALMOST EXACTLY WHERE YOU THOUGHT YOU HEARD THE FOOTSTEPS.
(Zak) AND IT'S GONE NOW? IT'S GONE.
DID YOU FEEL ANYTHING IN YOUR BODY AT ALL? NO.
SEE, I DID RIGHT AFTER HE SAID THAT.
WHEN I WALKED THROUGH, I FELT SOMETHING.
THAT'S WHY I WAS GONNA ASK HIM.
ALL RIGHT, GUYS, LET'S BE STILL.
KANE, GO AHEAD.
IS THERE ANYBODY HERE WITH US NOW? WAIT, WAIT-- SHH, SHH, SHH.
YOU HEAR THAT? GO AHEAD, KANE.
WALK IN THERE, KANE, BY YOURSELF.
(Nick) AARON, GO WITH HIM.
(Zak) GUYS, WE'RE GONNA GO INVESTIGATE DOWN HERE REAL QUICK--THOSE FOOTSTEPS! AARON, STAY WITH HIM, OKAY? SEE, I'M FEELING--LIKE, YOU DO YOU GUYS-- I'M--LOOK, SHINE THE LIGH ON ME.
PUT THE LIGHT ON ME.
LOOK AT THIS.
LOOK AT THIS.
I GOT THE SAME THING.
I'M, LIKE, SHAKEN UP.
I CAN FEEL I IN BOTH ARMS.
I FEEL LIKE ENERGY'S BEING DRAWN OFF ME.
YOU FEEL I IN YOUR BACK? YES.
YES, RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF MY BACK.
YOU GUYS ARE FEELING IT? YES, LOOK AT THIS.
LOOK AT OUR ARMS.
YEAH, I GOT IT, TOO.
ON A PREVIOUS INVESTIGATION, WE HAD SCIENTIFIC EQUIPMEN VALIDATE THAT WHEN OUR BODIES REACT IN THIS MANNER, SPIRIT ENERGIES CAN BE DETECTED.
I COULD FEEL YOU WALK UP ON ME YEAH, IT'S REALLY CLOSE.
SO WHEN THE LIGHT'S LIT UP, I MEANS IT'S RECORDING SOMETHING.
I'M GONNA BACK UP HERE.
IT FEELS A LITTLE UNCOMFORTABLE BEHIND ME, SO I'M GONNA BACK UP INTO IT MORE.
WELL, YOU GOTTA THINK, MAN, WHO KNOWS WHAT HAPPENED IN HERE? PEOPLE COULD'VE GOT CHAINED UP, YOU KNOW, ALL KINDS OF STUFF.
I'VE NEVER HEARD A GOOD E.
V.
P.
THAT IMPRESSED ME, SO, PLEASE, LET ME LISTEN BACK ON THIS AND HEAR A VOICE RESPONDING TO MY QUESTIONS.
DID SOMETHING BAD HAPPEN IN THIS ROOM RIGHT HERE? (Zak) IS SOMEBODY DOWN HERE? WHAT'S THAT? YOU'RE FEEL--RICK'S FEELING IT AGAIN, ZAK.
RIGHT HERE.
THE COLDNESS? YEAH, NO, IT IS.
IS SOMEONE DOWN HERE WITH US? COME ON.
WE'RE NOT HERE TO LISTEN TO LITTLE TAPS AND LITTLE NOISES.
I WANT TO FEEL SOMETHING HARD-CORE.
(Aaron) HOLD ON, DUDE.
THERE'S NO ONE IN THIS HALL, AND I CAN HEAR-- COULD YOU HEAR THOSE FOOTSTEPS? DID YOU HEAR THAT? NO, I DIDN'T.
GO RIGHT HERE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HALLWAY, 'CAUSE, DUDE, I SWEAR THERE WAS FOOTSTEPS RIGHT HERE.
OKAY.
WAS THAT YOU WALKING AROUND HERE? THAT'S FOOTSTEPS, DUDE.
IT SEEMS LIKE IT'S RIGHT IN HERE.
WHAT IS THIS AREA IN HERE? JUST NOTHING? NO, IT'S NOTHING.
IT'S A DOOR.
OH, IT'S A DOOR.
WHAT YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND IS THAT KANE CANNO SEE ANYTHING, AS IT IS PITCH-BLACK DOWN HERE.
WHILE IT MAY LOOK LIT UP, THIS IS ONLY BECAUSE AARON'S CAMERA IS SHOOTING IN NIGHT VISION.
LOOK AROUND IN HERE.
WHAT IS-- IT-- IS THIS A-- IT IS--AND THIS IS THE ROOM WHERE I GET HACKED UP AND DIE IN.
HEY, I GOT AN ALIBI.
WE HAVE MARKED THIS SPO TO SHOW YOU EXACTLY WHERE WE JUS CAPTURED AN E.
V.
P.
AFTER WE INVESTIGATE THIS AREA, WE ARE GOING TO ANALYZE THIS SPIRIT VOICE RIGHT HERE ON THE SPOT USING AUDIO ANALYSIS SOFTWARE WITH OUR E.
V.
P.
ANALYS BILLY TOLLEY.
THIS IS ALSO THE MOMEN THAT SENDS A SHOCKWAVE DOWN OUR TOUGH FRIEND KANE HODDER'S SPINE.
RIGHT DOWN HERE, GUYS, CHECK THIS OUT.
RIGHT NOW WE'RE STANDING-- UH, YOU CAN SEE, THIS WAS, LIKE, THE UNDERGROUND CITY.
THESE ARE THE OLD OPENINGS WHERE THE ACTUAL TUNNELS WOULD GO THROUGH THE RES OF THE PARTS OF THE CITY, WHERE THE CHINESE WOULD STORE THINGS, EVEN LIVE DOWN HERE, ALL KINDS OF STUFF.
SO LET'S SEE IF THEY'RE STILL DOWN HERE.
READY? DO YOU LIKE US BEING DOWN HERE WITH YOU? IS THAT DOOR OPEN UP TOP? I KNOW, THAT'S WHA I JUST SAID! THAT'S BEEN SHUT.
AGAIN.
MUST WANT US TO GO IN THERE.
LET'S GO RIGHT NOW.
GOOD.
AS THE SPIRITS OF THE PICO HOUSE SEEM TO GET A BI FEISTY WITH US, KANE AND AARON WERE ON THEIR OWN SEARCHING FOR EVIDENCE.
LET ME JUST GO DOWN THERE BY MYSELF.
(Aaron) OKAY.
YOU KNOW, YOU CAN SHOO FROM HERE IF YOU WANT, BUT LET ME GO IN THERE WITH NOBODY ELSE NEAR.
YOU GOT IT, JUST STAY IN THA DOOR WELL SO I CAN SEE YOU.
OKAY, YEAH, YEAH.
CAN YOU TELL ME ANYTHING ABOU WHERE I'M STANDING RIGHT NOW? WHY WERE YOU PUT IN HERE? WAS A FAMILY MEMBER OF YOURS, UH, OUT IN THE RIOT? YOU GUYS FEEL LIKE-- I DON'T KNOW, I JUST DON'T FEEL-- I THINK BACK THERE.
LET'S GO MEET UP WITH, UH HEY, DUDE.
WE HEARD, UH WE HEARD SOME FOOTSTEPS, AND THEN HE JUST HEARD, UH, SOMETHING, LIKE, RUFFLING AROUND OR SOMETHING INSIDE THAT ROOM.
IT ACTUALLY SOUNDED LIKE A BREATH OR SOMETHING.
YOU STILL ROLLING? I JUST TURNED IT OFF.
LET'S DO THIS--LET'S DROP OFF THE DIGITAL RECORDERS TO BILLY WHILE WE GO UP THERE AND INVESTIGATE.
WHILE LEAVING THE UNDERGROUND SECTION TO INVESTIGATE THE MAIN PAR OF THE HOTEL, THE DOORS UPSTAIRS IN THE COURTYARD WERE AGAIN OPEN WITH NO EXPLANATION.
IS THAT DOOR OPEN UP TOP? I KNOW, THAT'S WHA I JUST SAID.
THAT'S BEEN SHUT.
AGAIN.
MUST WANT US TO GO IN THERE.
LET'S GO RIGHT NOW.
GOOD.
YOU GOTTA REMEMBER, THIS PLACE WHERE WE'RE GOING RIGHT NOW ON THE SECOND FLOOR-- THIS WAS A FLOPHOUSE.
THIS WAS A HOTEL.
THIS PLACE RIGHT HERE WAS A CESSPOOL OF FRIGGIN' VIOLENCE, RAGE, MASSACRES, AND CAN YOU IMAGINE WHAT WENT UNDOCUMENTED? YEAH, YOU CAN SEE I AGAIN-- IT LATCHES.
UH-HUH.
(Rick) YOU HAVE TO ACTUALLY PHYSICALLY TURN I TO OPEN IT UP.
THIS IS THE SAME DOOR, KANE, THAT I SAW WHEN WE WERE DOING INTERVIEWS WANT TO LET YOU KNOW SOMETHING THAT JUST HAPPENED-- WE WERE OUTSIDE THIS DOOR, AND AS I WAS WALKING IN HERE, I NOTICED THIS DOOR RIGHT HERE WAS OPEN.
WHILE I WAS LOOKING AT IT, THIS DOOR RIGHT HERE-- THIS DOOR WAS CLOSED, I SAW THE DOOR GO LIKE THIS, OPEN, AND THEN GO (man) WHOA, WHOA.
(Zak) IS THERE SOMEBODY LEADING US IN HERE? ARE WE SUPPOSED TO COME IN HERE FOR SOMETHING? IF I DO PROVOKE, I'LL CALL OU A CERTAIN SPIRIT.
OH, OKAY.
AND SO BECAUSE THERE WAS A SECURITY GUARD THAT FELT HE WAS KICKED VERY HARDLY IN THE BACK YEAH.
LET'S TRY AND CALL THA PARTICULAR SPIRIT OUT.
THERE'S NO RIGHT FOR BULLIES IN THE LIVING OR THE DEAD, BUT IF YOU WAN TO KICK US, YOU CAN KICK US.
LET'S SEE HOW POWERFUL YOU REALLY ARE.
CLOSE THAT DOOR.
IMPRESS ME WITH SOMETHING.
A LITTLE WEAK, AREN'T YOU? WEAK (bleep).
CLOSE THE DOOR.
DO SOMETHING.
ALL RIGHT, HE WON'T TRY.
KICK ME.
I WOULDN'T WAN TO DO THAT.
KICK ME.
MAYBE HE ONLY DOES I TO PEOPLE WHO ARE AFRAID.
(Zak) AARON, GET UP HERE.
(Aaron) DAMN IT.
WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU CLOSE THE DOOR? THERE GOES THE BAIT.
ALL RIGHT.
(Nick) AARON--ROLLING, ROLLING, ROLLING.
CAN I ASK A QUESTION? WHY DO YOU NOT LIKE THIS DOOR HELD SHUT? WE CONCLUDED OUR E.
V.
P.
SESSION, AND AS WE WERE MOVING TO A DIFFERENT PAR OF THE BUILDING, SOMETHING CAUGHT RICK'S EYE.
NO.
'CAUSE WHEN I WAS STANDING BACK THERE, I WAS LOOKING OUT TO SEE IF I SAW ANYTHING YEAH? THERE WERE TWO SHAPES THA WENT RIGHT ACROSS THE THING, AND IT WAS ON THE OTHER SIDE-- (Aaron) THAT--THAT-- THAT'S WHAT YOU SAW EARLIER, NICK.
WHAT? YOU SAW THAT EARLIER-- YOU SAW A SHADOW WALK PAST.
SEE THERE'S NOTHIN', NOTHIN'.
SEE, RIGHT THERE.
LIKE RIGHT HERE? YEAH.
I DON'T KNOW IF YOU GUYS MADE THE SHADOW FROM OVER THERE YEAH.
BUT THEY WEN THIS WAY, SO I DON'T KNOW IF YOU COULD HAVE MADE THE SHADOW AND MADE IT GO THAT WAY.
WELL, LET'S SEE.
TO FURTHER ANALYZE THIS, WE TRIED TO DEBUNK I BY PLACING OURSELVES IN THE SAME EXACT SPOTS WE WERE IN WHEN RICK SAW THE SHADOW FIGURES.
THERE'S KANE IN THE WINDOW, AND IT'S NOT EVEN SHOWING UP HERE, SO IT'S--THERE'S NO POSSIBLE WAY.
SWEAR TO GOD-- YOU GOT THAT THING ON? SWEAR TO GOD, THERE WAS TWO DISTINCT PEOPLE SHAPES, WALKED ONE RIGHT AFTER ANOTHER RIGHT THIS WAY.
(Zak) WHAT WAS THAT? OH, WHOA.
SECOND FLOOR.
YOU DID NOT SEE THAT-- YOU WEREN'T LOOKIN' IN HERE? WHOA! SHUT UP, SHUT UP.
WHAT? THAT WASN'T COO, COO! L.
A.
's PICO HOUSE HAD A LOT OF PARANORMAL ACTIVITY, SO AS WE GOT READY TO ANALYZE OUR E.
V.
P.
s, WE MADE A CLEVER OBSERVATION.
I SAW HIM IN NIGHT VISION-- HE'S, LIKE, SCARY.
(man) HE'S SCARY AS (bleep).
(Nick) DUDE, THIS IS LIKE AARON JR.
AND AARON SR.
I KNOW IT IS.
ALL RIGHT, RIGHT NOW WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO IS, IS WE ARE GOING TO GE OUR ANALYSIS FROM BILLY, WHO IS OUR E.
V.
P.
ANALYST, UH, TRAVELS AROUND WITH US, DOES LIVE E.
V.
P.
ANALYSIS RIGHT HERE ON THE SPOT.
LET'S FIND OUT WHERE WE'RE AT ON THIS FIRST E.
V.
P.
(Billy) ALL RIGHT, LET'S SEE HERE.
AND THIS IS THE ROOM WHERE I GET HACKED UP AND DIE IN.
(laughs) HEY, I GOT AN ALIBI.
OKAY, WHAT DID YOU-- OKAY, WAIT, WAIT WAIT-- WHAT DID KANE JUST SAY? "I HAVE AN--" DID HE SAY "I HAVE AN ALIBI"? YEAH, 'CAUSE HE WALKED IN THE ROOM WITH ME, AND I WAS LIKE, WELL, "THIS IS WHERE I GET HACKED UP," THIS IS WHERE I'M GONNA DIE, AND THEN HE'S LIKE, "WELL, I GOT AN ALIBI.
" E.
V.
P.
RIGHT AFTER THAT, SO LET'S LISTEN.
(laughs) HEY, I GOT AN ALIBI.
(indistinct voice) OOH, WHAT DO YOU THINK THAT WAS? THAT SOUNDS LIKE THREE SYLLABLES.
DOES IT SOUND LIKE WHISPERS TO YOU, OR IT SOUNDS LIKE A VOICE.
I HEAR-- LET ME HEAR IT AGAIN.
IT SOUNDS LIKE "ANYTHING," SOMETHING ELSE.
OKAY, LET'S LISTEN.
YEAH-- I HEAR "ANYTHING BAD.
" YOU GOTTA REMEMBER-- PAUSE THIS FOR A SECOND.
A LOT OF THESE E.
V.
P.
s, GUYS, ARE, LIKE, INTERACTING WITH YOU.
RIGHT.
AND IT'S LIKE YOU SAID, YOU HAVE AN ALIBI, AND THE SPIRIT'S, LIKE, ANYTHING BAD? GRAB ME MY RECORDER.
I DECIDED TO SHOW KANE, RICK, AND R.
A.
THE E.
V.
P.
AS IT WAS ACTUALLY CAPTURED, BY PLAYING IT BACK THROUGH THE DIGITAL RECORDER'S SPEAKER, AND BY DOING SO, WE COULD ACTUALLY HEAR THE SPIRIT MORE CLEARLY.
YEAH, THAT'S-- THAT'S CLEAR.
SEE NOW THERE--THAT SOUNDS LIKE "ANYTHING BAD?" WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THAT? THAT'S PRETTY COOL.
I LIKE THAT A LOT.
I'VE NEVER HEARD A GOOD E.
V.
P.
THAT IMPRESSED ME.
I LIKE THAT A LOT.
"ANYTHING BAD?" "ANYTHING BAD?" ALL RIGHT, LET'S GO TO-- LET'S GO TO THE NEXT ONE.
ALL RIGHT.
SHOW 'EM THE SILENCE, AND JUST HOW, LIKE, AN E.
V.
P.
WILL STICK OU LIKE A SORE THUMB.
THIS IS WHAT MAKES-- GIVES YOU AN ADVANTAGE WHEN YOU'RE REVIEWING E.
V.
P.
AND YOU CAN ACTUALLY SEE THE WAVE FORM.
YOU CAN SEE WHEN KANE TALKS IS THERE ANYONE IN HERE WITH ME? AND YOU CAN SEE WHEN HE DOESN'T, IT'S JUST A FLAT LINE.
WOULD YOU LIKE TO SAY SOMETHING? A LOT OF TIMES WHEN THERE'S E.
V.
P.
s, ALL THESE FREQUENCY BURSTS-- (Zak) THOSE LITTLE HAIRS, RIGHT? THOSE LITTLE HAIRS ON THE FILE.
LISTEN TO THIS.
(indistinct voice) IT'S FULL SENTENCES.
IT'S TWO SPIRITS TALKING TO EACH OTHER.
AND WHAT I GET FROM I IS A SPIRIT SAYING, "DON'T TELL ANYONE.
" IT GOES, "DON'T TELL ANYONE.
" AND THEN RIGHT HERE IT SAYS, "THEY DON'T KNOW NOTHIN'.
" NOW THAT'S PRETTY GOOD.
"THEY DON'T KNOW NOTHIN'.
" (Zak) WHEN YOU WERE IN THERE, DID YOU HEAR ANYTHING AROUND YOU AT THIS TIME? NONE--NOT A THING.
NO? ALSO, LISTEN TO THIS.
THAT'S--THAT'S TURNING THE RECORDER ON.
THAT'S WHAT THA SOUNDS LIKE.
THAT'S WHAT SHUFFLING SOUNDS LIKE.
YEAH, THIS IS NO SHUFFLING YOU KNOW THE MIDDLE PIECE OF THIS IS REALLY GOOD.
YEAH.
WHICH ONE? "THEY DON'T KNOW NOTHIN'.
" EMPHASIZED, "NOTHIN'.
" "THEY DON'T KNOW NOTHIN'.
" THAT SOUNDS LIKE SOMEBODY'S WHISPERING IN THE (bleep) RECORDER.
I KNOW.
THAT'S PRETTY CONVINCING.
NOW THIS ONE-- BILLY, LET ME SEE THIS ONE.
THIS ONE I LISTENED TO WITH BILLY, AND IT SOUNDS LIKE AN ASIAN ACCENT-- YEAH, PLAY THIS ONE.
LIKE IT CAN'T-- NOT SPEAK--ALL RIGHT.
(indistinct voice) "I WANNA TELL 'EM ABOUT IT.
I KNOW NOTHIN' THAT HAPPENED.
" YEAH.
SOUNDS MORE HISPANIC.
YEAH, THAT'S WHA WE THOUGHT.
KEEP IN MIND THA IT TAKES SPIRITS A LOT OF ENERGY TO SPEAK, AND THAT'S WHY WE CAN'T HEAR THEM ALL THE TIME WITH OUR OWN EARS, AND EVEN IF THEY ARE SCREAMING VERY LOUDLY, THE SENSITIVITY OF THE DIGITAL RECORDER'S MICROPHONE PICKS IT UP AS A WHISPER QUITE OFTEN.
IT'S LIKE THE FIRST TWO ARE ALMOST LIKE CONSPIRATORS, AND THIS GUY IS LIKE, "I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING.
" YEAH.
WELL, GUYS, THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR COMING IN AND INVESTIGATING WITH US.
OH, IT WAS AN HONOR FOR US.
WE'VE BEEN WATCHING YOUR SHOW, AND I SAID IT BEFORE-- THEY INVESTIGATE LIKE WE DO, AND THAT'S WHY WE FEEL THE SAME TYPE OF THING.
WELL, LET'S DO ONE LAST THING.
SO AFTER WE INVESTIGATED WITH THESE THREE AWESOME DUDES, WE ALL FOUND OUT THAT WE ALL COMPLEMENT EACH OTHER IN CERTAIN WAYS IN THE WAY WE INVESTIGATE IT'S LIKE FATHER AND SON RIGHT THERE.
ME AND KANE ARE THE AGGRESSIVE, TOUGH GUYS IN THE BUNCH.
IF YOU WANT TO KICK US, YOU CAN KICK US.
LET'S SEE HOW POWERFUL YOU REALLY ARE.
AND THEN WE'VE GO NICK AND RICK.
YOU DON'T WAN TO MESS WITH US.
NOT ONLY DO THEY RHYME, BUT THEY ALSO SENSE SPIRITS AT THE SAME TIME.
YOU GUYS ARE FEELING IT? YES, LOOK AT THIS.
LOOK AT OUR ARMS.
YEAH, I GOT IT, TOO.
WE'VE GOTTA DO THIS AGAIN OH, YEAH.
REAL SOON.
ANYTIME, BROTHER.
ONE THING (indistinct conversation) IT WAS TIME TO RELEASE KANE, RICK, AND R.
A.
FROM THE PICO HOUSE AND CONTINUE WITH OUR INVESTIGATION.
WE WANTED TO SEE IF WE COULD CAPTURE SOME VISUAL EVIDENCE TO GO WITH THE VOICES WE HAD HEARD, SO WE DECIDED TO USE OUR INFRARED DIGITAL STILL CAMERA.
OPEN IT, AND JUST STAY ON THE OUTSIDE.
BACK OUT.
WHAT I LIKE ABOUT THIS INFRARED DIGITAL STILL CAMERA IS THAT I CAN'T SEE THESE FLASHES.
THE FLASH IS A BUNCH OF INFRARED LIGHTS, AND IT'S CONSTANTLY ON, SO I CAN TAKE RAPID-FIRE PICTURES.
SO I'M TRYING TO CATCH THESE SPIRITS OFF GUARD.
IF THEY ARE SITTING IN THESE ROOMS, HOPEFULLY WE'LL BE ABLE TO SEE 'EM WITH THIS.
THAT'S WHY WE'RE TRYING TO DO IT, LIKE, AMBUSH STYLE.
AARON, YOU READY? YEP.
SECOND FLOOR.
(beeping) GO, GO, GO.
(beep) I WANT TO GO THROUGH THIS WHOLE PLACE AND TAKE, LIKE, 200 PICTURES.
I WANT TO TAKE A PICTURE OF EVERY SQUARE INCH OF THIS ENTIRE BUILDING.
WHOA! SHUT UP, SHUT UP.
WHAT? PIGEONS.
(bleep) PIGEONS, DUDE.
JEEZ.
THEY COME OUT AND GET YOU EVERY TIME.
THAT WASN'T COO, COO! THAT WASN'T COO, COO! WHOA, WHOA, COME HERE.
DID YOU GUYS SEE THAT? WHAT? YOU DID NOT SEE THAT? YOU WEREN'T LOOKING IN HERE.
WHERE WERE YOU LOOKING? I WAS STANDING AT THE DOOR.
IT WAS, LIKE, WEIRD, MAN, IT LOOKED LIKE LIQUID.
LIKE LIQUID? I DON'T KNOW, IT WAS WEIRD.
I'M TRYING TO DESCRIBE IT.
IT WAS NOTHING LIKE I'VE SEEN BEFORE.
IT WASN'T LIKE A LIGHT.
IT WAS LIKE A BLACK LIGHT.
IT HAD, LIKE, A PURPLISH GLOW, BUT IT WAS WEIRD.
IT WAS LIKE IT-- IT, LIKE, MOVED-- IT, LIKE, SHAPE-SHIFTED.
WHAT I SAW WAS ALSO CAPTURED ON OUR INFRARED STILL CAMERA.
IN THIS FIRST PHOTO, YOU CAN CLEARLY SEE A BLACK MASS IN FRONT OF THE WINDOW.
IN THE SECOND PHOTO HERE, TAKEN IMMEDIATELY AFTER, THIS BLACK MASS HAS SHIFTED ITS SHAPE EXACTLY AS I SAW WITH MY BARE EYES, AND IN THE FINAL PHOTO, IT HAS COMPLETELY VANISHED.
WAS THIS THE SAME UNEXPLAINED DARK FIGURE THAT RICK SAW WALKING EARLIER? SWEAR TO GOD-- YOU GOT THAT THING ON? I SWEAR TO GOD, THERE WAS TWO DISTINCT PEOPLE SHAPES, WALKED ONE AFTER ANOTHER RIGHT THIS WAY.
(Zak) REALLY? YEAH, HONEST TO GOD.
THE PICO HOUSE IN THE HEART OF LOS ANGELES TRANSPORTED US BACK IN TIME TO A CITY ENTRENCHED IN THE HORROR OF RACE RIOTS.
WE TEAMED UP WITH THE HOLLYWOOD GHOST HUNTERS AND THE SIX OF US CAME BACK WITH SOME GREAT E.
V.
P.
s AND STILL PHOTOS SHOWING SHADOW FIGURES.
IN THE END, WE FEEL WE HAVE VALIDATED THAT THE PICO HOUSE IS IN FACT A LEGITIMATE HAUNT.
