Hales Bar Marina and Dam
1 (man) THIS WAS THE MOS DANGEROUS PAR OF THE TENNESSEE RIVER.
THE CHEROKEE CURSED THIS RIVER.
THERE'S GRAVEYARDS OUT UNDER THE WATER.
THEY FLOODED THE WHOLE TOWN, GRAVEYARDS, EVERYTHING.
IT'S SICK.
IT'S DISGUSTING.
THERE'S KIDS BURIED EVERYWHERE.
(thunder rumbles) (Aaron) I CAN'T SEE! WHERE ARE YOU?! RIGHT NOW, THERE'S JUS TORNADOES THAT HIT.
(Zak) OH, MY GOSH.
IS THIS THE CURSE? DO YOU STAND HERE AND WATCH PEOPLE AS THEY WORK, BITTER AND PISSED OFF? OH, MY GOD! DUDE! 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 MY 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.
(Zak) YOU HAVE REACHED YOUR FINAL DESTINATION-- HELL.
RAW OH! STOP! EXTREME (Aaron) HOLY (bleep)! (Zak) STOP! (bleep) STOP RUNNING! THESE ARE OUR GHOST ADVENTURES.
IS IT JUST TOO WEIRDLY QUIE RIGHT NOW? IT'S LIKE KIND OF A MOVIE.
WE'RE, LIKE, GETTING CLOSER TO IT.
I'M JUST WAITING FOR, LIKE, THAT MUSIC TO START RIGHT NOW START, YEAH.
THAT DARK, LIKE, THAT SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC.
YEAH.
THE HALES BAR DAM WAS BUIL ON WHAT WAS FORMERLY CHEROKEE INDIAN TERRITORY.
BY THE LATE 1700s, WHITE SETTLERS HAD SEVERELY ENCROACHED ON CHEROKEE LANDS IN THE AMERICAN SOUTHEAST.
DURING THE TREATY OF SYCAMORE SHOALS, CHEROKEE LEADER CHIEF DRAGGING CANOE FOUGHT AGAINS SURRENDERING MORE LAND.
BEFORE THE COUNCIL, HE VOWED TO TURN THIS AREA DARK AND BLOODY SHOULD ANYONE SETTLE UPON IT.
COMPLETED IN 1913, THE HALES BAR DAM WAS MEANT TO TAME THE ROUGH CURRENTS OF THE MIGHTY TENNESSEE RIVER.
BUT THE DAM LEAKED FROM DAY ONE AND WAS EVENTUALLY DEMOLISHED.
MANY SPECULATE IT WAS THE CURSE AT PLAY.
(man) THE CHEROKEE CURSED THIS PART OF THE RIVER.
THIS WAS THE MOST DANGEROUS PAR OF THE TENNESSEE RIVER.
THIS PLACE WAS BUIL TO STOP THE WHIRLPOOL THAT USED TO BE OUT HERE (Zak) MM-HMM.
AND THE INDIANS USED TO CLAIM THEY WOULD SEE FACES OF THEIR DEAD RELATIVES SPINNING IN THE WHIRLPOOL, AND THEY WOULD COME TO GRAB THEM.
AND THE SOULS WOULD HOLD THE BOD-- YEAH.
YEAH.
YOU KNOW, PULL YOU UNDER AND HOLD YOU IN.
THEY BUILT THE DAM TO TAME IT, FLOOD IT, AND CALM IT DOWN.
AND EVER SINCE THIS STRUCTURE WAS BUILT HERE AND INTERRUPTED THE NATURAL FLOW OF MOTHER NATURE ON THE CHEROKEE LAND, THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF WEIRD TRAGEDIES ASSOCIATED WITH THIS.
ABSOLUTELY.
THERE'S BEEN SPECULATION OF A LOT OF DEATH FROM THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE BUILT THIS, RIGHT? EXACTLY.
BACK THEN, IF YOU FELL INTO THE CONCRETE MIXER, YOU COULDN'T GET OUT.
YOU WERE DEAD.
MM-HMM.
A LOT OF THEM WERE IMMIGRANT WORKERS, AND IF A WORKER DIED, THEY WERE BURIED IN THE WALL OR MIXED INTO THE CONCRETE.
(man) BACK IN THE '70s, THERE WAS TWO TUGBOATS COLLIDED.
(boat horn blowing, crash) THE CAPTAIN AND HIS SKIPPER ON ONE OF THE BOATS DROWNED.
AND THEN WHEN THE DIVE TEAM COME OUT, THERE WAS A DIVER WHO WAS OUT ON HIS BOAT.
HE WAS DOWN LOOKING FOR THE BODIES.
WHEN HE SURFACED, HIS BOAT COLLIDED WITH HIM AND CRUSHED HIM UP THE SIDE OF THE DAM.
SO THE DI--THE RESCUER THE RESCUER ALSO DIED.
THE DIVER ALSO DIED FROM IT.
(Zak) BEFORE WE DO OUR LOCKDOWN, WE ALWAYS LIKE TO CALL UPON THE PARANORMAL COMMUNITY, YOU KNOW, OUR--OUR FRIENDS THAT INVESTIGATE, DO WHAT WE DO.
WE FOUND A GROUP THAT HAS INVESTIGATED THIS LOCATION, UH, MANY, MANY TIME-- WHOA.
I JUST LOOKED UP.
ALL YOU GUYS ARE JUST STARING AT ME.
(laughter) I FEEL LIKE WE'RE GETTING IN A FIGHT OR SOMETHING.
I KNOW, RIGHT? IT'S LIKE J.
C.
AND THESE GUYS OVER HERE.
ALL RIGHT, SHOW OF HANDS, HOW MANY OF YOU HAVE HAD A NEGATIVE UNEXPLAINED EXPERIENCE INSIDE THIS DAMN DAM? (woman laughs) HOW MANY OF YOU, BY SHOW OF HANDS, HAVE BEEN ATTACKED INSIDE OF THIS DAMN DAM? I WAS ON THE THIRD FLOOR OF THE POWERHOUSE, AND I FELT SOMETHING GRAB MY THROAT, AND I COULDN'T BREATHE.
I WAS ON THE THIRD LEVEL OF THE POWERHOUSE, AND I FELT A PRESSURE UNDER MY RIBS MAKING ME SICK WHERE I COULD NOT BREATHE.
I WAS IN THIS VERY SPO IN THE TUNNELS, AND I GOT SICK TO MY STOMACH, AND I HAD SCRATCHES ON MY ARM.
I WAS ON THE MAIN LEVEL OF THE POWERHOUSE RUNNING AN AUDIO EXPERIMENT.
I FELT MY HAIR GET PULLED UP.
IT WENT DOWN OVER MY FACE.
I HAD TO FIGHT TO GET I OFF MY FACE, AND THERE WAS NOTHING FOR MY HAIR TO BE CAUGHT ON.
I WAS ON THE FIRST FLOOR OF THE POWERHOUSE, AND I FELT SOMETHING PULL ON MY SHIRT.
WHEN I ASKED "DID YOU PULL ON MY SHIRT?" WE GOT AN E.
V.
P.
OF IT SAYING "I DID," SO I WAS STANDING OVER THE STAIRCASE, AND I FELT A PULL ON THE BACK OF MY PANTS LIKE A LITTLE CHILD WOULD FOLLOWED BY A SHOVE LIKE IT WANTED ME TO GO DOWN THE STAIRCASE.
I WAS IN THE TUNNELS AGAIN AND FELT A BURNING SENSATION ON MY CHEST, AND THERE WERE THREE SCRATCHES.
WHY DO YOU KEEP COMING BACK HERE IF YOU'RE GETTING ATTACKED? WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU GUYS? I'M ACTUALLY DRAWN TO IT.
IS THIS THE WAY YOU GET YOUR KICKS OUT HERE, OR IS THIS (laughter) (man) YOU'RE ON TO ME.
NO, I KNOW.
ISN'T IT? IT'S--IT'S IT'S THAT RUSH.
IT'S WHAT WE DO.
IT'S THE RUSH.
YEAH.
YOU CAN'T SAY ANYTHING MORE.
(Mike) A COUPLE OF THE PARANORMAL TEAMS THAT HAVE BEEN OUT HERE HAVE SEEN AN ENTITY UP ON THIS BALCONY, OKAY? AND THEY'VE SEEN THE ENTITY SLOWLY FADE AWAY AND REAPPEAR WHERE THEY WERE STANDING.
(Mike) THIS IS WHERE THEY WERE STANDING WHEN THEY SAW THAT ENTITY.
HAVE YOU GUYS GOTTEN VOICES, E.
V.
P.
s? YES.
I HAVE ONE THAT'S VERY LOUD OF A WOMAN SAYING "I TOLD YOU A SECRET.
" (Victoria) WELL, IT'S NOT-- WELL, IT'S NOT-- I HAVE CHILDREN LAUGHING AND TALKING.
IT SEEMS ODD THAT THE RESIDUAL SOUNDS OF CHILD VOICES CAN BE HEARD IN A FORMER WORK SITE, THAT IS, UNTIL BUDDY INFORMS US OF SOMETHING QUITE DISTURBING.
THERE'S ACTUALLY GRAVEYARDS OUT UNDER THE WATER.
GRAVES.
AND UNDER THE WATER.
UH-HUH.
WHEN T.
V.
A.
FLOODED, THEY FLOODED THE WHOLE TOWN, GRAVEYARDS, EVERYTHING.
THE LATE 1800s, EARLY 1900s, THERE WAS A FLU EPIDEMIC SWEPT THROUGH THERE, AND THAT GRAVEYARD IS FULL OF CHILDREN.
IT'S SICK.
IT'S DISGUSTING.
I MEAN, THERE'S KIDS JUS BURIED EVERYWHERE OUT THERE.
THAT'S A DAMN TRAGEDY RIGHT THERE.
THAT IS A DAMN TRAGEDY.
DID THEY RELOCATE THE BODIES? T.
V.
A.
DIDN'T BACK THEN, NO.
SO THE BODIES OF THESE CHILDREN AND WHATNO ARE STILL UNDERWATER? OH, YEAH.
WOW.
THIS IS ONE (bleep)-UP PLACE.
OH, YEAH.
FOR BUDDY THAT SENTIMEN RINGS ESPECIALLY TRUE AS HE SOON REVEALS HE BELIEVES HIS EXPERIENCES AT HALES BAR ARE CONNECTED TO HIS HARROWING PAST.
(Buddy) IN 2006, I WAS DEPLOYED TO IRAQ.
I WAS ON A FOB IN CAMP LIBERTY.
IT'S A FORWARD OBSERVATIONAL BASE.
WHAT DID YOU DO IN--IN THE SERVICE? I WAS THE DOOR KICKER.
WE'D KICK IN DOORS AND GO IN HOUSES.
YOU WERE A DOOR KICKER.
IT WAS OUR OFF DAY, AND WE WERE JUST HANGING OUT, AND WE WERE PLAYING CARDS AND JUST TALKING.
SO WE'RE SITTING THERE PLAYING, AND THEN THIS OTHER SOLDIER COMES UP WHO WE'D KNOWN FOR ABOU SIX OR SEVEN MONTHS.
AND HE WALKED UP TO US AND SAID, "HEY, GUYS, CAN I TALK TO YOU FOR A MINUTE?" AND HE GOES INTO "IF I WERE TO DIE, COULD YOU GIVE MY FAMILY THIS LETTER?" THE FIRST THOUGHT IN MY MIND WAS THAT, YOU KNOW, HE MAY BE SUICIDAL.
DID YOU WITNESS THA OVER THERE, SOME SOLDIERS COMMIT SUICIDE? OH, YEAH.
WE WERE ASSURING THAT, YOU KNOW, WE WOULD DO IT.
IT KIND OF CHEERED HIM UP A LITTLE BIT, AND THEN HE LEAVES.
A COUPLE DAYS LATER, WE GOT TO WORRIED ABOUT HIM.
WE GOT STARTED THINKING, YOU KNOW, I HADN'T SEEN HIM AROUND.
MAN, WHAT IF HE DID SOMETHING TO HIMSELF OR SOMETHING? SO WE WENT AND TALKED TO HIS N.
C.
O.
, AND HE EXPLAINED TO US THAT THE SOLDIER HAD STEPPED ON A LAND MINE AND DIED FOUR DAYS PRIOR TO WHEN WE HAD SPOKEN TO HIM.
IT BLEW OUR MINDS.
THAT SOLDIER DIED A WEEK BEFORE BEFORE WE TALKED TO HIM.
AND IMMEDIATELY, WE WENT AND TALKED TO OUR COMMANDER AND THE CHAPLAIN, AND THEY TRIED TO SAY PRETTY MUCH THAT IT WAS POST-TRAUMATIC STRESS, AND THAT, UH, THERE'S NO WAY IT COULD HAVE HAPPENED, AND THEY DECIDED TO SWEEP I UNDER THE RUG AND SEND US OU ON SOME MORE MISSIONS.
I WANT YOU TO TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK YOU WITNESSED.
IT WAS EITHER A SPIRIT OR MAYBE A GUARDIAN ANGEL.
I DON'T KNOW.
WHEN YOU RETURNED FROM IRAQ, WHAT MADE YOU COME HERE TO HALES BAR? I DON'T KNOW.
IT WAS LIKE I WAS DRAWN HERE MAYBE SPIRITUALLY.
BEFORE YOU WENT OVER TO FIGH FOR OUR COUNTRY IN IRAQ, DID YOU BELIEVE IN GHOSTS? NO.
BUT IT OPENED YOU UP.
IT CHANGED YOU, YOU KNOW? NOW YOU'RE HAVING EXPERIENCES THAT YOU NEVER HAD BEFORE.
NEVER HAD BEFORE, YES.
I ACTUALLY WAS IN AN AREA IN THE TUNNEL.
I HAD A SHADOW COME AROUND ME, CONSUME ME, AND THEN I PASSED OUT.
(thud) SOME OF THE SPIRITS ARE COMMUNICATING WITH ME LIKE THEY WANT ME TO BE HERE, AND THEN SOME OF THEM, DEFINITELY THEY HATE ME.
I MEAN, I CAN JUST TELL.
THEY DO? DOES THIS BOTHER YOU? YEAH.
YEAH.
I MEAN, IT--IT DOES.
UH WHY IS IT BOTHERING YOU? I DON'T UNDERSTAND IT.
(thunder rumbles) (Aaron) I CAN'T SEE! WHERE ARE YOU?! RIGHT NOW, THERE'S JUS TORNADOES THAT HIT.
(Zak) OH, MY GOSH.
IS THIS THE CURSE? THE HALES BAR DAM WAS BUILT IN 1913 IN GUILD, TENNESSEE, BUT AFTER SIX DECADES OF FAULTY OPERATION, THE DAM WAS DISMANTLED.
IT IS SAID THAT AN 18th-CENTURY CHEROKEE INDIAN CURSE WAS TO BLAME, A DARK AND BLOODY VOW BY CHIEF DRAGGING CANOE.
IT'S A CURSE THAT CONTINUES TO BE THE SOURCE OF PARANORMAL ACTIVITY WHERE THE DAM ONCE STOOD.
AND ALL AFTERNOON, DARK CLOUDS AND SWIRLING WINDS CAST AN EERIE FEELING ON THIS LOCATION.
THAT'S, UH, THAT'S CHIEF DRAGGING CANOE BLOWING ON US RIGHT NOW.
(Aaron) YEAH.
(Zak) CAN YOU TAKE US AROUND? TELL US ABOUT SOME OF THE DANGEROUS STUFF, IF THERE'S PLACES TONIGH THAT WE SHOULDN'T BE STANDING.
ABSOLUTELY.
YEAH, YOU CAN SMELL THE ASBESTOS IN THERE.
I LOVE IT.
(laughs) (inhales, exhales) NOW DO YOU GUYS HAVE CONTAMINANTS AND STUFF LIKE THA IN HERE? (Mike) OH, I'M SURE.
YOU KNOW, I'M SURE THERE ARE.
(sniffs) (Zak) THE WIND IS KIND OF COMING THROUGH THE WINDOWS, THE BROKEN GLASS.
THE RIPPLING OF THIS POOL OF WATER IN HERE, JUST THE AMBIENCE IN HERE, IF YOU LISTEN REALLY, REALLY CLOSELY IT--IT'S KIND OF JUST AN UNNERVING SOUND OF WIND, YOU KNOW? (wind howling) (Mike) OUT THERE IS ABOUT 90-FOOT DEEP.
THEY HAD TURBINES IN HERE UH-HUH.
THAT HELPED GENERATE THE ELECTRICITY.
RIGHT OVER THERE, YOU CAN SEE THAT WHIRLPOOL, AND THIS IS PROBABLY-- THIS PROBABLY GIVES YOU A BETTER IDEA OF WHAT THAT RIVER LOOKED LIKE BACK THEN.
MM-HMM.
THIS IS CRAZY.
BEFORE THIS DAM WAS HERE, THERE WAS A WHIRLPOOL HERE, RIGHT? THERE WAS A WHIRLPOOL.
THE CHEROKEE INDIANS WOULD LOOK INTO THIS WHIRLPOOL AND SEE THE FACES OF SOULS.
(Mike) EXACTLY.
WERE THEY LOOKING INTO THE FUTURE ABOUT THE FLU EPIDEMIC THAT CAME THROUGH AND WIPED OU ALL THESE CHILDREN THAT ARE IN THIS CEMETERY MM-HMM.
THAT ARE NOW BURIED UNDERWATER? (Zak) THAT'S CREEPY THAT COULD BE IT.
WHEN YOU STAR CONNECTING THOSE DOTS.
(wind howling) WE MEET BACK UP WITH BUDDY THE IRAQ WAR VE WHO IS THE MAINTENANCE SUPERVISOR HERE.
HE OFFERS TO TAKE US DOWNRIVER TO A CAVE SAID TO HAVE BEEN DRAGGING CANOE'S REFUGE, BUT AS HE GASES UP THE BOAT, ALL HELL BREAKS LOOSE.
(thunder rumbles) (Aaron) HOLY (bleep)! I CAN'T SEE! OH, MY (bleep, bleep)! WHERE ARE YOU?! (Zak) ROLL, NICK.
ROLL, ROLL, ROLL.
(Nick) I'M ROLLING.
RIGHT NOW, THERE'S JUS TORNADOES THAT HIT.
HOW FAR? WITHIN, LIKE, MILES FROM HERE.
SO WE'RE HAVING TO TAKE REFUGE IN THE UNDERGROUND TUNNELS.
(Nick) IT'S CRAZY RIGHT NOW.
HOLY COW.
WHAT'S UP, DOGGY? ARE YOU ALL RIGHT? YOU ALL RIGHT, BUD? (Zak) EVERYBODY'S TAKING REFUGE.
GOOD THING THAT YOU HAD TO FILL UP FOR GAS YES.
YEAH.
'CAUSE IF WE WERE STUCK OUT ON THE WATER IN THIS (Aaron) WE WOULD HAVE BEEN SCREWED.
WE WOULD HAVE BEEN IN SERIOUS (bleep) TROUBLE.
(Zak) WHAT IS? (Buddy) THE DOCK.
YOU CAN SEE IT ACROSS OH, MY GOSH.
YOU SEE THAT, AARON? HOLY (bleep).
THE WHOLE (bleep) DOCK THAT WE WERE JUST STANDING ON JUST GOT LIFTED UP AND THROWN AGAINST THE MOUNTAIN.
(Nick) I HOPE NO ONE GOT HIT BY THAT.
LET'S GO CHECK, BRO.
HURRY UP.
COME ON! HOLY (bleep)! IT'S ALL FOGGED UP.
I CAN'T SEE ANYTHING.
(Zak) JUST WIPE THE LENS WITH YOUR HAND.
NO, THE INTERNAL OF IT.
(grunts) THEY'RE TRYING TO SEE IF THERE'S PEOPLE UNDERNEATH OF THERE, 'CAUSE THERE WAS PEOPLE ON THESE BOATS, AND HE'S TRYING TO FIGURE OU WHETHER OR NOT PEOPLE GOT STUCK UNDERNEATH OF HERE.
(Aaron) GUYS, CAMERA'S BROKE! (Zak) YO! ANYBODY IN THERE? (man) IS ANYBODY IN THERE? (bleep) CAMERA'S BROKE.
DON'T TOUCH THE METAL.
YEAH, I KNOW.
SEE THE POWER LINES RIGHT HERE? HEY, BRO, THE CAMERA'S BUSTED.
(bleep) ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT.
JUST PUT IT DOWN.
THE CRAZY THING IS, IS THA WE WERE JUST FILMING MINUTES AGO RIGHT OVER HERE ON THESE LITTLE CABINS.
IS THIS THE CURSE? HERE WE ARE TALKING ABOU THE CHIEF CHEROKEE AND, UH, AND THIS HAPPENS.
I MEAN, YOU TELL ME, IS IT TOO COINCIDENTAL? IS THIS THE (bleep) CURSE? (Nick) I THINK THIS IS THE CURSE, DUDE.
WHOA! WATCH OUT--LIGHTNING.
(Zak) WAS THA RIGHT THERE? (Nick) YEAH.
GET BACK, GUYS.
GET BACK.
EVERYBODY SEEMS TO BE OKAY SO FAR, YEAH.
(Zak) CAN YOU IMAGINE THAT SIGHT? SEEING THAT DOCK FLIP ALL THE WAY UP OVER? I MEAN, THAT'S ONE OF THESE DOCKS.
IS THIS IS A COINCIDENCE FOR US? NO, I DON'T THINK SO.
NICK.
ALMOST EVERY LOCATION WE GO TO THERE'S SOMETHING WEIRD LIKE THIS THAT HAPPENS.
THE WHOLE THING JUST TOOK OU THESE CARS PARKED UP HERE.
YEAH, POWER LINE'S STRIKING ACROSS THE WHOLE THING.
RIGHT THERE, THAT'S POWER LINES.
YOU TOUCH THAT (imitates electricity zapping) NO, WE HAVEN' SEEN ANYBODY.
THIS IS (bleep) CRAZY.
THIS IS CRAZY.
(coughs) WE'VE DONE TOO MANY LOCKDOWNS WHERE WE'VE HAD NATURAL DISASTERS LIKE THIS ON THE DAY OF OUR LOCKDOWN.
THIS IS JUST TOO WEIRD.
WHAT, VULTURE MINE, A 30-YEAR STORM? YEAH, AND THAT STORM CAME IN ON SACRAMENTO, TOO.
YEAH, JUST LIKE THAT.
JUST LIKE THAT.
(Zak) MY UMBRELLA! (bleep) DO YOU THINK THAT HE HEARD US SAYING WE GONNA GO ON THE BOAT IN TWO SECONDS? YEAH.
IF WE WOULD HAVE LEF TWO MINUTES OHH.
TWO MINUTES, IF THA WOULD HAVE HELD OFF, WE WOULD HAVE BEEN DEAD, MAN.
WHERE WERE WE GETTING READY TO GO ON THE BOAT? TO HIS CAVE.
HIS CAVE.
OH, IT'S THE NEWS.
WE BEAT YOU TO IT, DUDE! ALL RIGHT, RULE NUMBER ONE-- DON'T EVER GO UNDERNEATH POWER LINES THAT ARE DOWNED.
RULE NUMBER TWO--DON'T EVER TRY AND JUMP A POOL OF WATER THAT'S TOUCHING THE DOWNED POWER LINES.
WHOA.
(laughs) OH, YEAH! NICE! AND RULE NUMBER THREE-- WHY--WHY DO RULE NUMBER ONE AND TWO? (laughs) BECAUSE WE'RE ALWAYS LOOKING FOR AN ADVENTURE.
THAT WASN'T AN ADVENTURE.
THAT WAS JUST STUPID.
ANGRY WEATHER FLIPPED PAR OF THE MARINA UP ONTO DRY LAND.
AMONGST THE BOATERS, OFFICIALS, AND TOWNIES THERE, A POPULAR TRIO OF PARANORMAL INVESTIGATORS WERE IN MARION COUNTY WORKING ON A FEATURE FOR THEIR TRAVEL CHANNEL SHOW "GHOST ADVENTURES" WHEN, WELL, LET THEM EXPLAIN.
(grunts) WE WERE ABOUT TO GET ON THIS BOAT TO GO OU (Nick) ONTO THE WATER TO GO IN THE CAVE.
TO FIND THE CAVE OF CHIEF DRAGGING CANOE.
THEN WE GET SLAMMED.
AND ALL OF A SUDDEN, BOOM, AND THIS HAPPENS.
AND YOU SAW IT FIRS ON WRCB, NBC.
I'M ZAK BAGANS FOR THE TRAVEL CHANNEL.
I USUALLY HUNT DEMONS, BUT TODAY, WE'RE HUNTING TORNADOES.
WE'RE HUNTING TORNADOES.
YEAH! THE ENERGY UP HERE IS SO DIFFEREN THAN ANYTHING YOU'VE FELT.
I'M GOING IN.
(Zak) ASK HIM TO MANIFES HIMSELF UP THERE.
DO YOU STAND HERE AND WATCH PEOPLE AS THEY WORK, BITTER AND PISSED OFF? OH, MY GOD! SO DARKNESS HAS DESCENDED UPON US IN A LOCKDOWN THAT WE ONLY HEARD ABOUT DARK STUFF, PEOPLE GETTING PHYSICALLY ATTACKED IN HERE.
THIS IS THE KIND OF STUFF THAT MAKES US CRAVE GETTING LOCKED DOWN.
WELL, BROTHER, THIS IS WHERE IT'S GONNA HAPPEN.
AND, UH, EARLIER, WE-- WE FOUND OUT THAT YOU HAD-- YOU KNOW, YOU'RE-- YOU'RE A SKEPTIC, BUT YOU ALSO HAD SOME THINGS THAT WERE UNEXPLAINED HAPPEN.
I'VE BEEN THROUGH THIS THING A MILLION TIMES.
YOU KNOW, I'M NOT WORRIED ABOUT IT.
I'M NOT SCARED.
THERE WAS ONE TIME IN THAT TUNNEL WHERE I HAD JUST THIS FEELING OF JUST ABSOLUTE TERROR, AND I WAS JUST PETRIFIED, SCARED (bleep)-LESS, AND I DON'T KNOW WHY, SO (clicks tongue) (Aaron) SO YOU HAVE HAD AN EXPERIENCE, KIND OF.
IF THAT'S WHA THAT IS, YEAH, I'VE HAD AN EXPERIENCE.
THERE'S--THERE'S THINGS I CAN'T EXPLAIN.
(Zac) YEAH.
THIS IS WHY I'M VERY EXCITED ABOUT YOU GUYS BEING HERE TONIGHT.
GOOD.
(laughs) HE SAYS "GOOD.
" SO LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT THE SETUP.
WE HAVE A CAMERA SET UP RIGHT HERE.
THIS AREA IS WHERE WE'RE GONNA BE ABLE TO FEED IN OUR DIGITAL RECORDERS TO BILLY.
BILLY IS SET UP RIGHT OVER HERE IN THE OLD LAUNDRY ROOM BEHIND THAT CLOSED DOOR.
AND WHY WE'RE DOING THIS IS BECAUSE OF THE MAGNITUDE OF-- OF DARK ENCOUNTERS HERE, FOR OUR OWN SAFETY, WE NEED TO KNOW WHAT WE ARE FACING.
EXACTLY.
SO WE'RE GONNA DROP THESE OFF THROUGH RIGHT HERE, GIVE 'EM TO BILLY.
HE'S GONNA REVIEW 'EM, AND, UH, BILLY'S GONNA BE ABLE TO RELAY TO US ABOUT WHO WE'RE IN COMPANY WITH.
WOW.
PHEW.
(laughs) I'M REALLY EXCITED TO GO IN THESE UNDERGROUND TUNNELS.
AND IF THERE'S SOMETHING IN HERE AND IT'S ATTACKING PEOPLE, INCLUDING BUDDY, WHO'S EVEN AFRAID TO GO IN THESE TUNNELS BY HIMSELF EXACTLY.
BUDDY'S BEEN THOUGH A LOT, AND IF BUDDY WON'T GO THROUGH IT, I'M NO GONNA GO THROUGH IT BY MYSELF.
RIGHT.
BROTHER.
LOCK US IN HERE, ALL RIGHT? I'M ALSO GONNA BE WEARING THIS RESPIRATOR TONIGHT.
UH, THERE IS SOME ASBESTOS IN HERE (banging) UH, IN SOME AREAS.
I GUESS THAT MEANS WE'RE LOCKED IN.
(Aaron) WAS THAT A HAM-- DID WE GET HAMMERED IN? YEAH.
ALL RIGHT, RIGHT NOW WE'RE GONNA START OUR INVESTIGATION OFF BY WALKING AROUND AND SCANNING THE WHOLE AREA WITH OUR THERMAL IMAGING CAMERA.
A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE SEEN THESE DARK MASSES WALKING AROUND, SO WE'RE GONNA SEE IF THIS CAMERA THAT SEES IN TEMPERATURE CAN PICK UP ON ANY OF THOSE.
RIGHT HERE'S A P.
O.
V.
CAM.
THIS CAM IS OUR EYES.
THAT, YOU'RE ALLOWED TO SEE IN THE DARK.
THIS, THAT'S A NO-NO.
THAT'S A NEGATIVE.
THAT'S OUR EYES, PITCH-BLACK.
OH.
(Zak) UM, I DON'T KNOW.
I GUESS THIS WAY.
(Nick) DUDE, I CAN'T REMEMBER, TO BE HONEST WITH YOU.
RIGHT BACK IN THAT AREA IS THE PLACE THAT CREEPS ME OUT THE MOST.
IT'S A POOL OF WATER THAT STILL HAS A TURBINE UNDERNEATH THAT THE NATURAL CURREN OF THE RIVER IS ROTATING, CAUSING A WHIRLPOOL.
AND WHAT'S RELEVAN ABOUT A WHIRLPOOL IS THE CHEROKEE INDIANS AND CHIEF DRAGGING CANOE SAID THAT BEFORE THIS DAM WAS BUILT HERE, THE RIVER MADE A NATURAL WHIRLPOOL, AND THEY WOULD SEE THE SOULS IN THE WHIRLPOOL, AND THEY SAID THAT THE SOULS IN THE WATER WOULD PULL THEM UNDER.
(banging) (Aaron) WHOA.
(water trickling) OH, WHAT IS THAT? LISTEN.
FOR REAL.
WHAT'S THAT NOISE? IS SOMEBODY IN HERE? TAKE YOUR CAMERA AND WALK THAT PLANK.
GO UP THERE, AND BY YOURSELF.
IS IT SAFE TO WALK UP THERE? (Nick) I THINK SO.
DON'T LEAN ON THE RAIL.
YOU THINK SO? DON'T LEAN ON THE RAIL.
DUDE, WHAT IF I FALL IN THE WATER? THE BOTTOM IS LIKE THIS MUSH.
(Nick) QUICKSAND.
EXACTLY.
BUT YOU DON' WANT TO BE IN THERE.
(Zak) I WANT TO SEE IF WE CAN DRAW IN THIS DARK FIGURE.
AARON.
(Aaron) YEAH? DO THIS, OKAY? GET YOUR DIGITAL RECORDER OUT.
OKAY.
HIT "RECORD.
" WHEN YOU'RE WALKING, SAY THAT YOU'RE WALKING.
WHEN YOU STOP, THEN DO A BURST SESSION.
DO TWO OR THREE QUESTIONS.
YOU'RE GONNA DO A TOTAL OF THREE BURST SESSIONS-- ONE HERE, ONE THERE AT THE BASE OF THE STAIRS, AND THEN ONE UP ON THE CATWALK.
ALL RIGHT, I'M ROLLING ON MY DIGITAL RECORDER.
HERE WE GO.
WE USE OUR DIGITAL RECORDERS TO CAPTURE E.
V.
P.
s, OR SPIRIT VOICES.
IS IT WEIRD HAVING PEOPLE HERE TRYING TO COMMUNICATE WITH YOU? WALKING.
RIGHT NOW, I'M NEX TO THE WHIRLPOOL WHERE SOMEONE HAS DIED IN THIS AREA, UH, DROWNED, AND I'M SURE BACK IN THE DAY, ALL KINDS OF PEOPLE HAVE DROWNED.
SO WITH THAT SAID, YOU REMEMBER ANY OF THAT HAPPENING IN THE LAST 30 YEARS? (Zak) GO UP A LEVEL, AARON.
ALL RIGHT.
HERE I GO.
(crash) (Nick) WHOA.
WHAT WAS THAT? I DON'T KNOW.
THERE WAS A LOUD CRASH BEHIND ME.
WHOA.
WHAT WAS THAT? DO YOU SEE ANYTHING? WE CAN SEE IT GOOD ON THAT THERMAL.
WE KEEP HEARING NOISES BEHIND US WHILE AARON'S DOING THE E.
V.
P.
SESSION.
WHOA! GUYS? WHAT'S WRONG? THE ENERGY UP HERE IS SO DIFFEREN THAN ANYTHING YOU'VE FELT.
IS IT? 'CAUSE I'VE GOT ELECTRICAL CHILLS UP MY BODY, DUDE.
ASK HIM TO MANIFES HIMSELF UP THERE, AARON.
THAT'S WHERE THEY'VE SEEN HIM.
OKAY, I'M NOW GONNA PLACE THE DIGITAL RECORDER.
I'M GOING IN.
OH.
ALL RIGHT, THE DIGITAL RECORDER'S RIGHT THERE.
DO YOU STAND HERE AND WATCH PEOPLE AS THEY WORK AND DO WHAT THEY GOT TO DO, BITTER AND PISSED OFF? (gasps) OH, MY GOD! DUDE! I WAS JUST STANDING HERE, AND I FEEL A TUG.
(Zak) WHAT THE (bleep) WAS THAT? (Nick) SOMEONE JUST, LIKE, WALKED UP RIGHT ON ME.
I KNOW.
YOU CAN'T BE MAD AT PEOPLE FOR THAT ANYMORE.
THERE WAS SOMETHING CAPTURED AT THAT EXACT MOMENT.
THE HALES BAR MARINA SITS ON FORMER CHEROKEE INDIAN TERRITORY.
IT IS SAID THAT A CHEROKEE CURSE IS THE CAUSE OF HAUNTINGS HERE.
WE SEND AARON TO BE ALONE ON THE CATWALK ABOVE THE WHIRLPOOL, BUT IS HE ALONE? (Aaron) DO YOU STAND HERE AND WATCH PEOPLE AS THEY WORK AND DO WHAT THEY GOT TO DO, BITTER AND PISSED OFF? (gasps) OH, MY GOD! DUDE! DUDE, SOMETHING JUST TUGGED ON MY (bleep) SO HARD, BRO.
ARE YOU SERIOUS? I AM NO (bleep) KIDDING, MAN.
I WAS JUST STANDING HERE, AND I FEEL A TUG ON MY, UH, MY VEST.
AND THEN I'M LIKE, "OKAY, I MUST BE BUMPING SOMETHING," AND I BACK UP AND MOVE TO CHECK I JUST WHILE I WAS SITTING THERE, AND IT KEPT GOING, MAN.
THERE'S NOTHING THERE.
(Nick) WHAT THE (bleep) WAS THAT? COMMUNICATE, AARON.
WHAT THE (bleep) WAS THAT? SOMEONE JUST, LIKE, WALKED UP RIGHT ON ME.
I KNOW.
THERE'S NOTHING THERE.
WHAT THE (bleep) WAS THAT? LOOK.
IT'S JUS THESE LOCKERS.
NICK AND ZAK ARE WAY OVER THERE ACROSS THAT WHOLE WATER.
DO YOU SEE ANYTHING? NOTHING? NO.
ARE YOU MAD BECAUSE-- I'M NOT ONE WHO TOOK OVER YOUR LAND, JUST SO YOU KNOW.
THAT WAS A LONG TIME AGO, AND YOU CAN'T BE MAD AT PEOPLE FOR THAT ANYMORE.
WELL, I WOULD STILL BE MAD.
I'M OUT, GRABBING MICROPHONE.
OH, MY GOD, DUDE, I DON'T WAN TO COME UP HERE AGAIN.
WHAT HAPPENED? I'M STANDING UP THERE, AND IT FEELS LIKE SOMETHING WENT LIKE THIS, TUG, TUG.
RIGHT WHEN THAT SECOND TUG HIT MM-HMM.
LIKE, THIS ENERGY CAME THROUGH ME.
I SAW IT WAS LIKE SOMETHING PASSED THROUGH ME.
I SAW SOMETHING.
YOU WERE, LIKE, IN THE SECOND WINDOW.
I DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING BECAUSE YOU WERE DOING E.
V.
P.
, BUT I THINK WHEN WE REVIEW THIS, THERE WAS SOMETHING CAPTURED AT THAT EXACT MOMENT.
FOR REAL? YEAH.
AND UPON REVIEW OF OUR THERMAL IMAGING CAMERA FOOTAGE, YOU CAN CLEARLY SEE THIS DARK MASS AS IT MOVES AWAY FROM AARON.
IT BOBS SLIGHTLY UP AND DOWN JUST LIKE A FIGURE WALKING.
IS THIS THE DARK FIGURE THAT'S BEEN SEEN ON THE CATWALK BY SEVERAL WITNESSES? A COUPLE OF THE PARANORMAL TEAMS THAT HAVE BEEN OUT HERE HAVE SEEN AN ENTITY UP ON THIS BALCONY.
BILLY, ARE YOU THERE? GO AHEAD.
BILLY, I NEED YOU TO MEET AARON at the, uh, the E.
V.
P.
drop area.
HE'S GONNA HAND OFF A RECORDER TO YOU.
GO THROUGH THAT.
Let us know if you got anything.
COPY THAT.
I'LL BE RIGHT THERE.
(Zak) GO AHEAD.
(Billy) ALL RIGHT, DUDE.
(exhales deeply) OH, DUDE.
PAY ATTENTION TO THE SPO WHEN SOMETHING GRABS ME.
ALL RIGHT, DUDE.
I'LL LET YOU GUYS KNOW.
GOOD LUCK.
THANKS.
(Nick) THERE'S A WALL RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU.
WHOA.
WHOA, WHOA, WHOA.
(Billy) Zak? YEAH, BILLY, GO AHEAD.
ALL RIGHT, I WENT OVER, UH, AARON'S RECORDER, AND YOU GO TWO REALLY GOOD E.
V.
P.
s Uh, where were you investigating, was it up on a catwalk or something? (Aaron) DAMN.
UM, WHAT--WHA ARE THE E.
V.
P.
s? (Billy laughs) UH, NOT HAPPY.
UM, THE FIRST ONE SAYS, UH, "YOU'RE (bleep).
" THE E.
V.
P.
SAYS, "YOU'RE (bleep)"? THAT'S CORRECT.
CAN YOU PLAY IT OVER THE WALKIE-TALKIE SOMEHOW? WHOA! I think we hear it now, Billy.
WHY AM I (bleep)? (Billy) Right before he talks, it says that.
DUDE, YOU CAN HEAR THAT.
We got it the second one.
WELL, THE SECOND ONE IS KIND OF LIKE, IT DOESN'T SOUND LIKE WORDS.
It sounds like chanting.
CHANTING? IT'S STRANGE.
SO TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK OF THIS ONE.
BA-BA-BA BA-BA-BA BA.
MM-HMM.
MM-HMM.
IT IS HARD TO IGNORE A POSSIBLE CONNECTION BETWEEN THESE UNEXPLAINED CHANTS AND THE AREA'S CHEROKEE INDIAN PAST.
COULD THIS BE A RESIDUAL NATIVE AMERICAN WAR CHANT? BA-BA-BA BA-BA-BA BA.
THANK YOU, BILLY.
GOOD JOB.
SO ALREADY IN THE INVESTIGATION, WE'VE GOT SOME GREAT EVIDENCE.
UH, WE'VE GOT SOME PHYSICAL TOUCH GOING ALONG WITH AARON, BUT WE HAVE SOME STUFF TO VALIDATE, UH, THA THAT MAY HAVE BEEN SOMETHING UP THERE WITH YOU.
WHAT'S REALLY, REALLY WEIRD AND IRONIC IS THEY SAID HAVE SEEN AN ENTITY UP ON THIS BALCONY.
AND WE CAUGHT A DARK-LOOKING SHADOW ABOUT THIS BIG THAT APPEARED TO BE WALKING AWAY FROM YOU AND--AND VANISHED INTO THIN AIR.
I JUST FELT SOMETHING GO RIGHT THROUGH MY BODY.
AND THEN YOU GOT FROZEN ALIVE INSIDE THIS COLD WALL OF CONCRETE? IT'S 2:00 A.
M.
ALONG THE TENNESSEE RIVER.
THE SPIRITS OF THE HALES BAR MARINA HAVE MADE THEIR PRESENCE FEL BY THE WHIRLPOOL AREA.
WE NOW HEAD UP TO THE SECOND FLOOR.
(Aaron) OH, MAN.
(Zak) WHAT? YOU WERE JUS WALKING THROUGH.
MM-HMM.
I SWEAR TO GOD, I THOUGHT YOU-- I THOUGHT YOU WENT THOUGH HERE, AND NICK KEPT GOING, AND I WAS LIKE, "DUDE, WHERE ARE WE GOING?" AND NICK'S LIKE, "THIS WAY," AND I LOOKED BACK, AND I THOUGHT I SAW YOU, LIKE, WALKING THIS WAY AND LOOKED BACK AT ME ALMOST.
OOH.
IT WENT BACK LIKE THIS? WELL, I DON'T KNOW.
SO I STOPPED, AND IT WENT BACK.
AS SOON AS I TURNED THAT CORNER, I SAW ZAK IN THE FRONT, IN FRONT OF YOU, AND I REALIZED THAT IT WASN'T ZAK.
BOTH OF YOU, COME HERE! COME HERE! COME HERE! COME HERE! COME HERE! BOTH OF YOU GUYS.
(Nick) WHOA.
I WAS JUST STANDING RIGHT HERE AS YOU WERE EXPLAINING THAT, AND I JUST FELT SOMETHING GO RIGHT THROUGH MY BODY.
IS SOMEBODY UP HERE? DID AARON JUST SEE YOU? WHEN YOU ENTERED MY BODY, OBVIOUSLY, I FELT YOU REALLY STRONGLY.
ARE YOU NOW, LIKE, MAKING ME SEE YOU OR SOMETHING? WHAT'S GOING ON WITH THIS? AARON.
(Aaron) YEAH? YOU GO DOWN VERY, VERY, UH, DOWN HERE, MAN.
COME HERE.
NICK, GO IN THAT BACK ROOM THERE WITH THE WINDOW TO YOUR BACK, SHOOT DOWN THE HALLWAY.
RECORDING SESSION.
SPIRITS IN HERE, DID YOU WORK ON BUILDING THE DAM? IS YOUR BODY STUCK INSIDE OF THE CONCRETE? IF YOU'RE THE SPIRI THAT TOLD AARON TO "(bleep) OFF," COME HERE AND TELL ME WHY YOU'RE SO MEAN.
RECORDING SESSION.
WHAT WAS THAT? THAT WASN'T US.
(Nick) HERE, LET ME RECORD I ON THIS CAMERA.
CAREFUL.
GO AHEAD.
LISTEN.
(distorted voice) I'M GONNA SHOOT YOU ALL.
YEAH! YEAH.
YEAH, NOW I CAN SEE WHAT YOU'RE SAYING.
IT SAYS, "I'M GONNA SHOOT YOU ALL.
" IT'S THAT DEEP VOICE UNDERNEATH.
IT'S RASPY.
LISTEN.
(distorted voice) I'M GONNA SHOOT YOU ALL.
HE SAYS, "I'M GONNA SHOOT YOU ALL.
" I JUST GO THE CHILLS, MAN.
I'M FEELING PINS AND NEEDLES GOING ALL THROUGH ME.
(Aaron) THAT'S HOW I WAS FEELING.
I NEVER FEEL PINS AND NEEDLES.
THERE'S A TIGHTNESS IN MY CHEST.
DID YOU JUST TELL ME THAT YOU'RE GONNA SHOOT US? WHERE ARE YOU AT? THAT SPIRIT IS STANDING AMONGST US SOMEWHERE.
WE CAN'T SEE I WITH OUR OWN EYES.
WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO SEE IT IN INFRARED.
DO YOU HAVE A MEL METER? (Zac) THIS DEVICE MEASURES ELECTROMAGNETIC ENERGY, WHICH GHOSTS ARE SAID TO MADE UP OF.
FLUCTUATIONS IN THE ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELD CAN INDICATE THE PRESENCE OF A SPIRIT.
(device beeping) (Aaron) WHOA.
THAT WAS GOING OFF, DUDE.
THAT'S THE SECOND FEATURE ON THIS MEL METER.
THE ANTENNA ALSO EMITS AN ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELD, AND IF ANYTHING COMES INTO CONTACT WITH IT LIKE THIS (device beeping) IT'LL TAKE IT OFF.
DID YOU GET THAT, AARON? YEAH.
(device beeping) WHOA.
IS THIS MEL METER DETECTING THE SAME SPIRI THAT I JUST FELT, AND AARON SPOTTED WITH HIS OWN EYES ONLY MOMENTS BEFORE THIS? BECAUSE OF ALL THE VOICES WE'RE NOW CAPTURING, WE DECIDE TO HEAD BACK OVER TO THE WHIRLPOOL AREA FOR ANOTHER E.
V.
P.
SESSION.
AARON IS ALSO ROLLING ON A FULL-SPECTRUM CAMERA, WHICH SEES A MUCH WIDER RANGE OF THE VISUAL LIGHT SPECTRUM THAN JUST OUR REGULAR NIGHT VISION CAMERAS.
(Zak) ROLLING, DIGITAL RECORDER NUMBER ONE.
THIS IS THE WHIRLPOOL E.
V.
P.
SESSION.
SEE IT? (Nick) YEAH.
I WANT TO MARK THAT IT'S ABSOLUTELY DEAD SILENT IN HERE.
THERE SHOULD BE ABSOLUTE ZERO CONTAMINATION.
CAN YOU WALK UP AND SPEAK TO THAT RECORDER? ARE YOU USING THAT WHIRLPOOL RIGHT THERE AS AN ENERGY SOURCE? GRABBING THE RECORDER DID YOU FALL INTO THIS WALL? DID YOU LEAVE WORK THAT MORNING AND KISS YOUR WIFE AND YOUR CHILDREN? AND THEN YOU GOT FROZEN ALIVE INSIDE THIS COLD WALL OF CONCRETE? AT THIS EXACT MOMENT, MY DIGITAL RECORDER, WHICH IS ABSOLUTELY STILL AGAINST THE WALL, CAPTURES AN EERIE RESPONSE TO MY QUESTION.
AND THEN YOU GOT FROZEN ALIVE INSIDE THIS COLD WALL OF CONCRETE? (distorted voice) DO YOU KNOW SOMETHING THAT WE DON'T? AT THIS TIME IN OUR LOCKDOWN WE FEEL THE NEED TO CEASE OUR INVESTIGATION FOR JUST A MOMEN AND IMMEDIATELY ADDRESS A VERY COMPELLING PIECE OF EVIDENCE WE CAPTURED WITH SOMEONE WHO IS VERY CONNECTED WITH THIS LOCATION THROUGH HIS OWN EXPERIENCES.
SOME OF THE SPIRITS THA ARE COMMUNICATING WITH ME LIKE THEY WANT ME TO BE HERE, AND THEN SOME OF THEM, DEFINITELY THEY HATE ME.
I MEAN, I CAN JUST TELL.
THEY DO? (Zak) SO WE WANT TO SHOW YOU SOMETHING THAT WE JUST CAUGH THAT WE FEEL, UH, THAT WE JUST HAVE TO SHOW YOU RIGHT AWAY.
I WONDER IF THAT WAS WHAT WAS, LIKE, AFTER ME IN THE TUNNEL.
THESE ARE THE TUNNELS WHERE ALL THE ATTACKS HAVE HAPPENED.
(Nick) HERE I AM.
COME ON.
(Zak) SOMETHING IS NOT RIGHT.
EVEN WITH MY EXPERIENCE IN IRAQ, IT WAS NOT LIKE THAT.
WE'RE 20 MILES WEST OF CHATTANOOGA.
THE MAINTENANCE SUPERVISOR AT THE MARINA IS AN IRAQ WAR VETERAN WHO FEELS HE'S BEEN THE VICTIM OF PARANORMAL ACTIVITY HERE.
WE HOPE THE EVIDENCE WE'VE GATHERED SO FAR WILL CONFIRM HIS SUSPICIONS.
(Zak) AARON IS UP THERE ON THE CATWALK, FARTHEST ON THE WALL, OKAY? OKAY.
NICK AND I ARE BACK ALL THE WAY ACROSS THE LAGOON THERE.
AARON FEELS SOMETHING TOUCH HIM AND WHAT, DRAG YOUR COAT? WELL, BASICALLY, IT WAS A TUG ON THE BACK OF MY COAT, AND RIGHT WHEN I FEEL THAT, IT FEELS LIKE SOMETHING, LIKE, WENT INTO MY BODY AND, LIKE, PASSED THROUGH IT.
AND THEN AFTER THAT, WE CATCH THIS, WHAT LOOKS LIKE A FIGURE WALK ACROSS HERE AND DISAPPEAR.
AND THE COLOR OF I IS ALL THIS COLOR, SIGNIFYING NO HEAT.
IT'S ALL MADE UP OF COLD.
RIGHT.
WATCH THIS.
WOW, IT'S LIKE--IT'S EVEN, LIKE, HUNCHED OVER LIKE.
YEAH.
AND WALKING KIND OF WEIRD.
WEIRD.
I MEAN, IT'S DEFINITELY NOT LIKE A PERSON.
BUT YOU-- THERE'S NO WAY THEY COULD BEND THEIR BODY LIKE THAT.
ISN'T IT? IT'S SCARY.
I MEAN, LIKE, YOU KNOW WHAT'S CRAZY? I HAD A COUPLE OF PEOPLE TELL ME THAT WHEN WE WERE IN THE TUNNELS THAT THEY SEEN, LIKE, A HUNCHED-OVER YEAH? OLD MAN, LIKE, PEEKING AROUND AT 'EM AND STUFF.
(shudders) OLD MAN? YEAH.
OH, GOD.
CRAZY THING IS, IS IT'S WALKING AWAY FROM AARON AT THE SAME EXACT TIME THAT HE FELT BEING TUGGED AND SOMETHING GO THROUGH HIM.
AND THAT WAS REALLY AN INTENSE MOMENT, BECAUSE I'VE NEVER REALLY HAD THAT FEELING GO THROUGH ME LIKE THAT.
THAT'S LIKE WHEN I WAS TELLING YOU ABOUT, LIKE, EVERYTHING THA I'VE HAD HAPPEN TO ME HERE, LIKE THE MOMEN I HAD IN THE TUNNEL.
IT WAS JUST-- IT WAS CRAZY.
YEAH.
IT'S LIKE I'VE NEVER HAD THAT TRAUMATIZING-- DID YOU HAVE A CRAZY HEARTBEA AND ALL THAT? IT WAS JUST LIKE BOOM? YEAH, EVEN WITH MY EXPERIENCE IN IRAQ, IT WAS NOT LIKE THAT.
IT WAS LIKE SOMETHING JUS DEFINITELY DOESN'T WANT-- IN THE TUNNELS? YEAH.
THAT MAKES ME WONDER IF THAT WAS WHAT WAS, LIKE, AFTER ME IN THE TUNNEL, YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING? YEAH.
YEAH.
WELL, THAT'S WHERE WE'RE HEADED.
HEY, WE SHARED THE SAME EXPERIENCE DOWN THERE.
IS THAT REALLY WHERE YOU'RE HEADED? THAT'S WHERE WE'RE HEADED NOW.
WE SAVED THE BEST FOR LAST.
ALL RIGHT, THE TIME HAS COME TO INVESTIGATE THE MOST ANTICIPATED PAR OF THIS LOCATION.
UH, THESE ARE THE TUNNELS WHERE ALL THE ATTACKS HAVE HAPPENED, AND NOW IT'S OUR TIME.
IS ANYBODY IN THESE TUNNELS? I HEARD YOU LIKE TO ATTACK PEOPLE.
DO YOU WAN TO ATTACK US? COME HERE, AARON.
(Zak) WE'RE GONNA SEND SOMEBODY DOWN.
GO AHEAD, AARON, CALL OUT TO THEM.
(Aaron) CAN YOU COME AROUND ME AT LEAST, SO THAT WE CAN SEE YOU ON THAT CAMERA? KEEP GOING.
EVEN IF YOU DON'T WAN TO SCRATCH ME OR ANYTHING, CAN YOU JUST COME AND STAND NEXT TO ME SO WE CAN SEE YOU? RIGHT NOW, AARON'S DIGITAL RECORDER IS CAPTURING UNEXPLAINED VOICES THAT APPEAR TO HAVE CHILDREN OR FEMALE TONES.
WE RULED IT OUT AS NOT BEING MATRIXING BY THE DRIPPING WATER BECAUSE AT THE SAME TIME, YOU HEAR THE VOICES WITH FULL TONE, YOU CAN ALSO HEAR THE WATER DRIPPING.
EVEN IF YOU DON'T WAN TO SCRATCH ME OR ANYTHING, CAN YOU JUST COME AND STAND NEXT TO BE SO WE CAN SEE YOU? (water dripping) (Nick) WHAT DO YOU MEAN? WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? YEAH, I KNOW.
I HEARD YOU.
WHAT'S THE MATTER? WHO'S IN HERE WITH US? I CAN FEEL YOU.
I WANT YOU TO TELL ME WHO YOU ARE.
AT THIS EXACT MOMENT, MY DIGITAL RECORDER CAPTURES WHAT SOUNDS LIKE A MAN RESPONDING TO ME.
I WANT YOU TO TELL ME WHO YOU ARE.
HOLY (bleep).
I FELT THAT.
I LEFT MY BODY FOR A MINUTE, AND MY BODY WAS JUST A TON OF BRICKS JUST STANDING THERE.
I COULD FEEL THE WEIGH OF MY BODY, BUT I COULDN'T FEEL ME IN MY BODY.
WITH ALL OF THESE UNEXPLAINED VOICES AND FEELINGS WE WERE RECEIVING, NOW SEEMS LIKE THE PERFECT TIME TO LEAVE NICK ALL BY HIMSELF IN THESE TUNNELS.
(Zak) WE HAVE A DIGITAL RECORDER RIGHT IN THE CENTER INTERSECTION OF THE TUNNELS.
(Zak) WE HAVE A FULL-SPECTRUM CAMERA COVERING THE LONG TUNNEL BEHIND HIM SO IF ANYTHING CREEPS UP ON HIM, HE WON'T KNOW IT, BUT YOU WILL.
GOOD LUCK, NICK.
(Nick) THANKS.
(Nick) IS THIS WHAT YOU WANTED? YOU WANTED ME TO BE ALL BY MYSELF IN THIS TUNNEL? DO YOU KNOW A GUY NAMED BUDDY WHO'S BEEN IN THESE TUNNELS BEFORE, AND YOU'VE SCARED HIM REALLY BAD WHERE HE WON'T EVEN COME IN HERE BY HIMSELF ANYMORE? LIKE THE MOMEN I HAD IN THE TUNNEL, IT WAS JUST-- IT WAS CRAZY.
WHAT DID YOU DO TO HIM? IT JUST GOT REALLY COLD ALL OF A SUDDEN.
WHAT HAPPENS IF I WALK DOWN HERE, HUH? COME ON, FOLLOW ME.
HERE I AM.
IS THERE ANYBODY IN THIS TUNNEL? THE DIGITAL RECORDER ON THE CHAIR IS NOW CAPTURING THIS UNEXPLAINED VOICE THAT APPEARS TO SAY "TELL YOUR" AND SOMETHING ELSE AFTERWARDS, BUT WE'RE UNABLE TO DECIPHER THE REST.
SEE IF YOU CAN MAKE IT OUT.
IS THERE ANYBODY IN THIS TUNNEL? THE ROUGH CURRENTS OF THE MIGHTY TENNESSEE RIVER TELL A STORY OF INJUSTICE, OF LAND STOLEN AND FOUGHT FOR.
THE DARK AND BLOODY VOW OF CHIEF DRAGGING CANOE HAS ENDURED LONG PAS HIS TIME ON EARTH, HIS CURSE A PLAGUE ON THE HALES BAR MARINA AND ANYONE WHO STEPS INSIDE.
(thunder rumbles) (Aaron) I CAN'T SEE! WHERE ARE YOU?! THE CHIEF TRIED TO KEEP US AWAY, BUT WE PERSEVERED, STANDING FACE-TO-FACE WITH THE ANGRY SPIRITS HE KEEPS TRAPPED WITHIN THESE WALLS.
OH, MY GOD! DUDE!
THE CHEROKEE CURSED THIS RIVER.
THERE'S GRAVEYARDS OUT UNDER THE WATER.
THEY FLOODED THE WHOLE TOWN, GRAVEYARDS, EVERYTHING.
IT'S SICK.
IT'S DISGUSTING.
THERE'S KIDS BURIED EVERYWHERE.
(thunder rumbles) (Aaron) I CAN'T SEE! WHERE ARE YOU?! RIGHT NOW, THERE'S JUS TORNADOES THAT HIT.
(Zak) OH, MY GOSH.
IS THIS THE CURSE? DO YOU STAND HERE AND WATCH PEOPLE AS THEY WORK, BITTER AND PISSED OFF? OH, MY GOD! DUDE! 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 MY 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.
(Zak) YOU HAVE REACHED YOUR FINAL DESTINATION-- HELL.
RAW OH! STOP! EXTREME (Aaron) HOLY (bleep)! (Zak) STOP! (bleep) STOP RUNNING! THESE ARE OUR GHOST ADVENTURES.
IS IT JUST TOO WEIRDLY QUIE RIGHT NOW? IT'S LIKE KIND OF A MOVIE.
WE'RE, LIKE, GETTING CLOSER TO IT.
I'M JUST WAITING FOR, LIKE, THAT MUSIC TO START RIGHT NOW START, YEAH.
THAT DARK, LIKE, THAT SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC.
YEAH.
THE HALES BAR DAM WAS BUIL ON WHAT WAS FORMERLY CHEROKEE INDIAN TERRITORY.
BY THE LATE 1700s, WHITE SETTLERS HAD SEVERELY ENCROACHED ON CHEROKEE LANDS IN THE AMERICAN SOUTHEAST.
DURING THE TREATY OF SYCAMORE SHOALS, CHEROKEE LEADER CHIEF DRAGGING CANOE FOUGHT AGAINS SURRENDERING MORE LAND.
BEFORE THE COUNCIL, HE VOWED TO TURN THIS AREA DARK AND BLOODY SHOULD ANYONE SETTLE UPON IT.
COMPLETED IN 1913, THE HALES BAR DAM WAS MEANT TO TAME THE ROUGH CURRENTS OF THE MIGHTY TENNESSEE RIVER.
BUT THE DAM LEAKED FROM DAY ONE AND WAS EVENTUALLY DEMOLISHED.
MANY SPECULATE IT WAS THE CURSE AT PLAY.
(man) THE CHEROKEE CURSED THIS PART OF THE RIVER.
THIS WAS THE MOST DANGEROUS PAR OF THE TENNESSEE RIVER.
THIS PLACE WAS BUIL TO STOP THE WHIRLPOOL THAT USED TO BE OUT HERE (Zak) MM-HMM.
AND THE INDIANS USED TO CLAIM THEY WOULD SEE FACES OF THEIR DEAD RELATIVES SPINNING IN THE WHIRLPOOL, AND THEY WOULD COME TO GRAB THEM.
AND THE SOULS WOULD HOLD THE BOD-- YEAH.
YEAH.
YOU KNOW, PULL YOU UNDER AND HOLD YOU IN.
THEY BUILT THE DAM TO TAME IT, FLOOD IT, AND CALM IT DOWN.
AND EVER SINCE THIS STRUCTURE WAS BUILT HERE AND INTERRUPTED THE NATURAL FLOW OF MOTHER NATURE ON THE CHEROKEE LAND, THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF WEIRD TRAGEDIES ASSOCIATED WITH THIS.
ABSOLUTELY.
THERE'S BEEN SPECULATION OF A LOT OF DEATH FROM THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE BUILT THIS, RIGHT? EXACTLY.
BACK THEN, IF YOU FELL INTO THE CONCRETE MIXER, YOU COULDN'T GET OUT.
YOU WERE DEAD.
MM-HMM.
A LOT OF THEM WERE IMMIGRANT WORKERS, AND IF A WORKER DIED, THEY WERE BURIED IN THE WALL OR MIXED INTO THE CONCRETE.
(man) BACK IN THE '70s, THERE WAS TWO TUGBOATS COLLIDED.
(boat horn blowing, crash) THE CAPTAIN AND HIS SKIPPER ON ONE OF THE BOATS DROWNED.
AND THEN WHEN THE DIVE TEAM COME OUT, THERE WAS A DIVER WHO WAS OUT ON HIS BOAT.
HE WAS DOWN LOOKING FOR THE BODIES.
WHEN HE SURFACED, HIS BOAT COLLIDED WITH HIM AND CRUSHED HIM UP THE SIDE OF THE DAM.
SO THE DI--THE RESCUER THE RESCUER ALSO DIED.
THE DIVER ALSO DIED FROM IT.
(Zak) BEFORE WE DO OUR LOCKDOWN, WE ALWAYS LIKE TO CALL UPON THE PARANORMAL COMMUNITY, YOU KNOW, OUR--OUR FRIENDS THAT INVESTIGATE, DO WHAT WE DO.
WE FOUND A GROUP THAT HAS INVESTIGATED THIS LOCATION, UH, MANY, MANY TIME-- WHOA.
I JUST LOOKED UP.
ALL YOU GUYS ARE JUST STARING AT ME.
(laughter) I FEEL LIKE WE'RE GETTING IN A FIGHT OR SOMETHING.
I KNOW, RIGHT? IT'S LIKE J.
C.
AND THESE GUYS OVER HERE.
ALL RIGHT, SHOW OF HANDS, HOW MANY OF YOU HAVE HAD A NEGATIVE UNEXPLAINED EXPERIENCE INSIDE THIS DAMN DAM? (woman laughs) HOW MANY OF YOU, BY SHOW OF HANDS, HAVE BEEN ATTACKED INSIDE OF THIS DAMN DAM? I WAS ON THE THIRD FLOOR OF THE POWERHOUSE, AND I FELT SOMETHING GRAB MY THROAT, AND I COULDN'T BREATHE.
I WAS ON THE THIRD LEVEL OF THE POWERHOUSE, AND I FELT A PRESSURE UNDER MY RIBS MAKING ME SICK WHERE I COULD NOT BREATHE.
I WAS IN THIS VERY SPO IN THE TUNNELS, AND I GOT SICK TO MY STOMACH, AND I HAD SCRATCHES ON MY ARM.
I WAS ON THE MAIN LEVEL OF THE POWERHOUSE RUNNING AN AUDIO EXPERIMENT.
I FELT MY HAIR GET PULLED UP.
IT WENT DOWN OVER MY FACE.
I HAD TO FIGHT TO GET I OFF MY FACE, AND THERE WAS NOTHING FOR MY HAIR TO BE CAUGHT ON.
I WAS ON THE FIRST FLOOR OF THE POWERHOUSE, AND I FELT SOMETHING PULL ON MY SHIRT.
WHEN I ASKED "DID YOU PULL ON MY SHIRT?" WE GOT AN E.
V.
P.
OF IT SAYING "I DID," SO I WAS STANDING OVER THE STAIRCASE, AND I FELT A PULL ON THE BACK OF MY PANTS LIKE A LITTLE CHILD WOULD FOLLOWED BY A SHOVE LIKE IT WANTED ME TO GO DOWN THE STAIRCASE.
I WAS IN THE TUNNELS AGAIN AND FELT A BURNING SENSATION ON MY CHEST, AND THERE WERE THREE SCRATCHES.
WHY DO YOU KEEP COMING BACK HERE IF YOU'RE GETTING ATTACKED? WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU GUYS? I'M ACTUALLY DRAWN TO IT.
IS THIS THE WAY YOU GET YOUR KICKS OUT HERE, OR IS THIS (laughter) (man) YOU'RE ON TO ME.
NO, I KNOW.
ISN'T IT? IT'S--IT'S IT'S THAT RUSH.
IT'S WHAT WE DO.
IT'S THE RUSH.
YEAH.
YOU CAN'T SAY ANYTHING MORE.
(Mike) A COUPLE OF THE PARANORMAL TEAMS THAT HAVE BEEN OUT HERE HAVE SEEN AN ENTITY UP ON THIS BALCONY, OKAY? AND THEY'VE SEEN THE ENTITY SLOWLY FADE AWAY AND REAPPEAR WHERE THEY WERE STANDING.
(Mike) THIS IS WHERE THEY WERE STANDING WHEN THEY SAW THAT ENTITY.
HAVE YOU GUYS GOTTEN VOICES, E.
V.
P.
s? YES.
I HAVE ONE THAT'S VERY LOUD OF A WOMAN SAYING "I TOLD YOU A SECRET.
" (Victoria) WELL, IT'S NOT-- WELL, IT'S NOT-- I HAVE CHILDREN LAUGHING AND TALKING.
IT SEEMS ODD THAT THE RESIDUAL SOUNDS OF CHILD VOICES CAN BE HEARD IN A FORMER WORK SITE, THAT IS, UNTIL BUDDY INFORMS US OF SOMETHING QUITE DISTURBING.
THERE'S ACTUALLY GRAVEYARDS OUT UNDER THE WATER.
GRAVES.
AND UNDER THE WATER.
UH-HUH.
WHEN T.
V.
A.
FLOODED, THEY FLOODED THE WHOLE TOWN, GRAVEYARDS, EVERYTHING.
THE LATE 1800s, EARLY 1900s, THERE WAS A FLU EPIDEMIC SWEPT THROUGH THERE, AND THAT GRAVEYARD IS FULL OF CHILDREN.
IT'S SICK.
IT'S DISGUSTING.
I MEAN, THERE'S KIDS JUS BURIED EVERYWHERE OUT THERE.
THAT'S A DAMN TRAGEDY RIGHT THERE.
THAT IS A DAMN TRAGEDY.
DID THEY RELOCATE THE BODIES? T.
V.
A.
DIDN'T BACK THEN, NO.
SO THE BODIES OF THESE CHILDREN AND WHATNO ARE STILL UNDERWATER? OH, YEAH.
WOW.
THIS IS ONE (bleep)-UP PLACE.
OH, YEAH.
FOR BUDDY THAT SENTIMEN RINGS ESPECIALLY TRUE AS HE SOON REVEALS HE BELIEVES HIS EXPERIENCES AT HALES BAR ARE CONNECTED TO HIS HARROWING PAST.
(Buddy) IN 2006, I WAS DEPLOYED TO IRAQ.
I WAS ON A FOB IN CAMP LIBERTY.
IT'S A FORWARD OBSERVATIONAL BASE.
WHAT DID YOU DO IN--IN THE SERVICE? I WAS THE DOOR KICKER.
WE'D KICK IN DOORS AND GO IN HOUSES.
YOU WERE A DOOR KICKER.
IT WAS OUR OFF DAY, AND WE WERE JUST HANGING OUT, AND WE WERE PLAYING CARDS AND JUST TALKING.
SO WE'RE SITTING THERE PLAYING, AND THEN THIS OTHER SOLDIER COMES UP WHO WE'D KNOWN FOR ABOU SIX OR SEVEN MONTHS.
AND HE WALKED UP TO US AND SAID, "HEY, GUYS, CAN I TALK TO YOU FOR A MINUTE?" AND HE GOES INTO "IF I WERE TO DIE, COULD YOU GIVE MY FAMILY THIS LETTER?" THE FIRST THOUGHT IN MY MIND WAS THAT, YOU KNOW, HE MAY BE SUICIDAL.
DID YOU WITNESS THA OVER THERE, SOME SOLDIERS COMMIT SUICIDE? OH, YEAH.
WE WERE ASSURING THAT, YOU KNOW, WE WOULD DO IT.
IT KIND OF CHEERED HIM UP A LITTLE BIT, AND THEN HE LEAVES.
A COUPLE DAYS LATER, WE GOT TO WORRIED ABOUT HIM.
WE GOT STARTED THINKING, YOU KNOW, I HADN'T SEEN HIM AROUND.
MAN, WHAT IF HE DID SOMETHING TO HIMSELF OR SOMETHING? SO WE WENT AND TALKED TO HIS N.
C.
O.
, AND HE EXPLAINED TO US THAT THE SOLDIER HAD STEPPED ON A LAND MINE AND DIED FOUR DAYS PRIOR TO WHEN WE HAD SPOKEN TO HIM.
IT BLEW OUR MINDS.
THAT SOLDIER DIED A WEEK BEFORE BEFORE WE TALKED TO HIM.
AND IMMEDIATELY, WE WENT AND TALKED TO OUR COMMANDER AND THE CHAPLAIN, AND THEY TRIED TO SAY PRETTY MUCH THAT IT WAS POST-TRAUMATIC STRESS, AND THAT, UH, THERE'S NO WAY IT COULD HAVE HAPPENED, AND THEY DECIDED TO SWEEP I UNDER THE RUG AND SEND US OU ON SOME MORE MISSIONS.
I WANT YOU TO TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK YOU WITNESSED.
IT WAS EITHER A SPIRIT OR MAYBE A GUARDIAN ANGEL.
I DON'T KNOW.
WHEN YOU RETURNED FROM IRAQ, WHAT MADE YOU COME HERE TO HALES BAR? I DON'T KNOW.
IT WAS LIKE I WAS DRAWN HERE MAYBE SPIRITUALLY.
BEFORE YOU WENT OVER TO FIGH FOR OUR COUNTRY IN IRAQ, DID YOU BELIEVE IN GHOSTS? NO.
BUT IT OPENED YOU UP.
IT CHANGED YOU, YOU KNOW? NOW YOU'RE HAVING EXPERIENCES THAT YOU NEVER HAD BEFORE.
NEVER HAD BEFORE, YES.
I ACTUALLY WAS IN AN AREA IN THE TUNNEL.
I HAD A SHADOW COME AROUND ME, CONSUME ME, AND THEN I PASSED OUT.
(thud) SOME OF THE SPIRITS ARE COMMUNICATING WITH ME LIKE THEY WANT ME TO BE HERE, AND THEN SOME OF THEM, DEFINITELY THEY HATE ME.
I MEAN, I CAN JUST TELL.
THEY DO? DOES THIS BOTHER YOU? YEAH.
YEAH.
I MEAN, IT--IT DOES.
UH WHY IS IT BOTHERING YOU? I DON'T UNDERSTAND IT.
(thunder rumbles) (Aaron) I CAN'T SEE! WHERE ARE YOU?! RIGHT NOW, THERE'S JUS TORNADOES THAT HIT.
(Zak) OH, MY GOSH.
IS THIS THE CURSE? THE HALES BAR DAM WAS BUILT IN 1913 IN GUILD, TENNESSEE, BUT AFTER SIX DECADES OF FAULTY OPERATION, THE DAM WAS DISMANTLED.
IT IS SAID THAT AN 18th-CENTURY CHEROKEE INDIAN CURSE WAS TO BLAME, A DARK AND BLOODY VOW BY CHIEF DRAGGING CANOE.
IT'S A CURSE THAT CONTINUES TO BE THE SOURCE OF PARANORMAL ACTIVITY WHERE THE DAM ONCE STOOD.
AND ALL AFTERNOON, DARK CLOUDS AND SWIRLING WINDS CAST AN EERIE FEELING ON THIS LOCATION.
THAT'S, UH, THAT'S CHIEF DRAGGING CANOE BLOWING ON US RIGHT NOW.
(Aaron) YEAH.
(Zak) CAN YOU TAKE US AROUND? TELL US ABOUT SOME OF THE DANGEROUS STUFF, IF THERE'S PLACES TONIGH THAT WE SHOULDN'T BE STANDING.
ABSOLUTELY.
YEAH, YOU CAN SMELL THE ASBESTOS IN THERE.
I LOVE IT.
(laughs) (inhales, exhales) NOW DO YOU GUYS HAVE CONTAMINANTS AND STUFF LIKE THA IN HERE? (Mike) OH, I'M SURE.
YOU KNOW, I'M SURE THERE ARE.
(sniffs) (Zak) THE WIND IS KIND OF COMING THROUGH THE WINDOWS, THE BROKEN GLASS.
THE RIPPLING OF THIS POOL OF WATER IN HERE, JUST THE AMBIENCE IN HERE, IF YOU LISTEN REALLY, REALLY CLOSELY IT--IT'S KIND OF JUST AN UNNERVING SOUND OF WIND, YOU KNOW? (wind howling) (Mike) OUT THERE IS ABOUT 90-FOOT DEEP.
THEY HAD TURBINES IN HERE UH-HUH.
THAT HELPED GENERATE THE ELECTRICITY.
RIGHT OVER THERE, YOU CAN SEE THAT WHIRLPOOL, AND THIS IS PROBABLY-- THIS PROBABLY GIVES YOU A BETTER IDEA OF WHAT THAT RIVER LOOKED LIKE BACK THEN.
MM-HMM.
THIS IS CRAZY.
BEFORE THIS DAM WAS HERE, THERE WAS A WHIRLPOOL HERE, RIGHT? THERE WAS A WHIRLPOOL.
THE CHEROKEE INDIANS WOULD LOOK INTO THIS WHIRLPOOL AND SEE THE FACES OF SOULS.
(Mike) EXACTLY.
WERE THEY LOOKING INTO THE FUTURE ABOUT THE FLU EPIDEMIC THAT CAME THROUGH AND WIPED OU ALL THESE CHILDREN THAT ARE IN THIS CEMETERY MM-HMM.
THAT ARE NOW BURIED UNDERWATER? (Zak) THAT'S CREEPY THAT COULD BE IT.
WHEN YOU STAR CONNECTING THOSE DOTS.
(wind howling) WE MEET BACK UP WITH BUDDY THE IRAQ WAR VE WHO IS THE MAINTENANCE SUPERVISOR HERE.
HE OFFERS TO TAKE US DOWNRIVER TO A CAVE SAID TO HAVE BEEN DRAGGING CANOE'S REFUGE, BUT AS HE GASES UP THE BOAT, ALL HELL BREAKS LOOSE.
(thunder rumbles) (Aaron) HOLY (bleep)! I CAN'T SEE! OH, MY (bleep, bleep)! WHERE ARE YOU?! (Zak) ROLL, NICK.
ROLL, ROLL, ROLL.
(Nick) I'M ROLLING.
RIGHT NOW, THERE'S JUS TORNADOES THAT HIT.
HOW FAR? WITHIN, LIKE, MILES FROM HERE.
SO WE'RE HAVING TO TAKE REFUGE IN THE UNDERGROUND TUNNELS.
(Nick) IT'S CRAZY RIGHT NOW.
HOLY COW.
WHAT'S UP, DOGGY? ARE YOU ALL RIGHT? YOU ALL RIGHT, BUD? (Zak) EVERYBODY'S TAKING REFUGE.
GOOD THING THAT YOU HAD TO FILL UP FOR GAS YES.
YEAH.
'CAUSE IF WE WERE STUCK OUT ON THE WATER IN THIS (Aaron) WE WOULD HAVE BEEN SCREWED.
WE WOULD HAVE BEEN IN SERIOUS (bleep) TROUBLE.
(Zak) WHAT IS? (Buddy) THE DOCK.
YOU CAN SEE IT ACROSS OH, MY GOSH.
YOU SEE THAT, AARON? HOLY (bleep).
THE WHOLE (bleep) DOCK THAT WE WERE JUST STANDING ON JUST GOT LIFTED UP AND THROWN AGAINST THE MOUNTAIN.
(Nick) I HOPE NO ONE GOT HIT BY THAT.
LET'S GO CHECK, BRO.
HURRY UP.
COME ON! HOLY (bleep)! IT'S ALL FOGGED UP.
I CAN'T SEE ANYTHING.
(Zak) JUST WIPE THE LENS WITH YOUR HAND.
NO, THE INTERNAL OF IT.
(grunts) THEY'RE TRYING TO SEE IF THERE'S PEOPLE UNDERNEATH OF THERE, 'CAUSE THERE WAS PEOPLE ON THESE BOATS, AND HE'S TRYING TO FIGURE OU WHETHER OR NOT PEOPLE GOT STUCK UNDERNEATH OF HERE.
(Aaron) GUYS, CAMERA'S BROKE! (Zak) YO! ANYBODY IN THERE? (man) IS ANYBODY IN THERE? (bleep) CAMERA'S BROKE.
DON'T TOUCH THE METAL.
YEAH, I KNOW.
SEE THE POWER LINES RIGHT HERE? HEY, BRO, THE CAMERA'S BUSTED.
(bleep) ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT.
JUST PUT IT DOWN.
THE CRAZY THING IS, IS THA WE WERE JUST FILMING MINUTES AGO RIGHT OVER HERE ON THESE LITTLE CABINS.
IS THIS THE CURSE? HERE WE ARE TALKING ABOU THE CHIEF CHEROKEE AND, UH, AND THIS HAPPENS.
I MEAN, YOU TELL ME, IS IT TOO COINCIDENTAL? IS THIS THE (bleep) CURSE? (Nick) I THINK THIS IS THE CURSE, DUDE.
WHOA! WATCH OUT--LIGHTNING.
(Zak) WAS THA RIGHT THERE? (Nick) YEAH.
GET BACK, GUYS.
GET BACK.
EVERYBODY SEEMS TO BE OKAY SO FAR, YEAH.
(Zak) CAN YOU IMAGINE THAT SIGHT? SEEING THAT DOCK FLIP ALL THE WAY UP OVER? I MEAN, THAT'S ONE OF THESE DOCKS.
IS THIS IS A COINCIDENCE FOR US? NO, I DON'T THINK SO.
NICK.
ALMOST EVERY LOCATION WE GO TO THERE'S SOMETHING WEIRD LIKE THIS THAT HAPPENS.
THE WHOLE THING JUST TOOK OU THESE CARS PARKED UP HERE.
YEAH, POWER LINE'S STRIKING ACROSS THE WHOLE THING.
RIGHT THERE, THAT'S POWER LINES.
YOU TOUCH THAT (imitates electricity zapping) NO, WE HAVEN' SEEN ANYBODY.
THIS IS (bleep) CRAZY.
THIS IS CRAZY.
(coughs) WE'VE DONE TOO MANY LOCKDOWNS WHERE WE'VE HAD NATURAL DISASTERS LIKE THIS ON THE DAY OF OUR LOCKDOWN.
THIS IS JUST TOO WEIRD.
WHAT, VULTURE MINE, A 30-YEAR STORM? YEAH, AND THAT STORM CAME IN ON SACRAMENTO, TOO.
YEAH, JUST LIKE THAT.
JUST LIKE THAT.
(Zak) MY UMBRELLA! (bleep) DO YOU THINK THAT HE HEARD US SAYING WE GONNA GO ON THE BOAT IN TWO SECONDS? YEAH.
IF WE WOULD HAVE LEF TWO MINUTES OHH.
TWO MINUTES, IF THA WOULD HAVE HELD OFF, WE WOULD HAVE BEEN DEAD, MAN.
WHERE WERE WE GETTING READY TO GO ON THE BOAT? TO HIS CAVE.
HIS CAVE.
OH, IT'S THE NEWS.
WE BEAT YOU TO IT, DUDE! ALL RIGHT, RULE NUMBER ONE-- DON'T EVER GO UNDERNEATH POWER LINES THAT ARE DOWNED.
RULE NUMBER TWO--DON'T EVER TRY AND JUMP A POOL OF WATER THAT'S TOUCHING THE DOWNED POWER LINES.
WHOA.
(laughs) OH, YEAH! NICE! AND RULE NUMBER THREE-- WHY--WHY DO RULE NUMBER ONE AND TWO? (laughs) BECAUSE WE'RE ALWAYS LOOKING FOR AN ADVENTURE.
THAT WASN'T AN ADVENTURE.
THAT WAS JUST STUPID.
ANGRY WEATHER FLIPPED PAR OF THE MARINA UP ONTO DRY LAND.
AMONGST THE BOATERS, OFFICIALS, AND TOWNIES THERE, A POPULAR TRIO OF PARANORMAL INVESTIGATORS WERE IN MARION COUNTY WORKING ON A FEATURE FOR THEIR TRAVEL CHANNEL SHOW "GHOST ADVENTURES" WHEN, WELL, LET THEM EXPLAIN.
(grunts) WE WERE ABOUT TO GET ON THIS BOAT TO GO OU (Nick) ONTO THE WATER TO GO IN THE CAVE.
TO FIND THE CAVE OF CHIEF DRAGGING CANOE.
THEN WE GET SLAMMED.
AND ALL OF A SUDDEN, BOOM, AND THIS HAPPENS.
AND YOU SAW IT FIRS ON WRCB, NBC.
I'M ZAK BAGANS FOR THE TRAVEL CHANNEL.
I USUALLY HUNT DEMONS, BUT TODAY, WE'RE HUNTING TORNADOES.
WE'RE HUNTING TORNADOES.
YEAH! THE ENERGY UP HERE IS SO DIFFEREN THAN ANYTHING YOU'VE FELT.
I'M GOING IN.
(Zak) ASK HIM TO MANIFES HIMSELF UP THERE.
DO YOU STAND HERE AND WATCH PEOPLE AS THEY WORK, BITTER AND PISSED OFF? OH, MY GOD! SO DARKNESS HAS DESCENDED UPON US IN A LOCKDOWN THAT WE ONLY HEARD ABOUT DARK STUFF, PEOPLE GETTING PHYSICALLY ATTACKED IN HERE.
THIS IS THE KIND OF STUFF THAT MAKES US CRAVE GETTING LOCKED DOWN.
WELL, BROTHER, THIS IS WHERE IT'S GONNA HAPPEN.
AND, UH, EARLIER, WE-- WE FOUND OUT THAT YOU HAD-- YOU KNOW, YOU'RE-- YOU'RE A SKEPTIC, BUT YOU ALSO HAD SOME THINGS THAT WERE UNEXPLAINED HAPPEN.
I'VE BEEN THROUGH THIS THING A MILLION TIMES.
YOU KNOW, I'M NOT WORRIED ABOUT IT.
I'M NOT SCARED.
THERE WAS ONE TIME IN THAT TUNNEL WHERE I HAD JUST THIS FEELING OF JUST ABSOLUTE TERROR, AND I WAS JUST PETRIFIED, SCARED (bleep)-LESS, AND I DON'T KNOW WHY, SO (clicks tongue) (Aaron) SO YOU HAVE HAD AN EXPERIENCE, KIND OF.
IF THAT'S WHA THAT IS, YEAH, I'VE HAD AN EXPERIENCE.
THERE'S--THERE'S THINGS I CAN'T EXPLAIN.
(Zac) YEAH.
THIS IS WHY I'M VERY EXCITED ABOUT YOU GUYS BEING HERE TONIGHT.
GOOD.
(laughs) HE SAYS "GOOD.
" SO LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT THE SETUP.
WE HAVE A CAMERA SET UP RIGHT HERE.
THIS AREA IS WHERE WE'RE GONNA BE ABLE TO FEED IN OUR DIGITAL RECORDERS TO BILLY.
BILLY IS SET UP RIGHT OVER HERE IN THE OLD LAUNDRY ROOM BEHIND THAT CLOSED DOOR.
AND WHY WE'RE DOING THIS IS BECAUSE OF THE MAGNITUDE OF-- OF DARK ENCOUNTERS HERE, FOR OUR OWN SAFETY, WE NEED TO KNOW WHAT WE ARE FACING.
EXACTLY.
SO WE'RE GONNA DROP THESE OFF THROUGH RIGHT HERE, GIVE 'EM TO BILLY.
HE'S GONNA REVIEW 'EM, AND, UH, BILLY'S GONNA BE ABLE TO RELAY TO US ABOUT WHO WE'RE IN COMPANY WITH.
WOW.
PHEW.
(laughs) I'M REALLY EXCITED TO GO IN THESE UNDERGROUND TUNNELS.
AND IF THERE'S SOMETHING IN HERE AND IT'S ATTACKING PEOPLE, INCLUDING BUDDY, WHO'S EVEN AFRAID TO GO IN THESE TUNNELS BY HIMSELF EXACTLY.
BUDDY'S BEEN THOUGH A LOT, AND IF BUDDY WON'T GO THROUGH IT, I'M NO GONNA GO THROUGH IT BY MYSELF.
RIGHT.
BROTHER.
LOCK US IN HERE, ALL RIGHT? I'M ALSO GONNA BE WEARING THIS RESPIRATOR TONIGHT.
UH, THERE IS SOME ASBESTOS IN HERE (banging) UH, IN SOME AREAS.
I GUESS THAT MEANS WE'RE LOCKED IN.
(Aaron) WAS THAT A HAM-- DID WE GET HAMMERED IN? YEAH.
ALL RIGHT, RIGHT NOW WE'RE GONNA START OUR INVESTIGATION OFF BY WALKING AROUND AND SCANNING THE WHOLE AREA WITH OUR THERMAL IMAGING CAMERA.
A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE SEEN THESE DARK MASSES WALKING AROUND, SO WE'RE GONNA SEE IF THIS CAMERA THAT SEES IN TEMPERATURE CAN PICK UP ON ANY OF THOSE.
RIGHT HERE'S A P.
O.
V.
CAM.
THIS CAM IS OUR EYES.
THAT, YOU'RE ALLOWED TO SEE IN THE DARK.
THIS, THAT'S A NO-NO.
THAT'S A NEGATIVE.
THAT'S OUR EYES, PITCH-BLACK.
OH.
(Zak) UM, I DON'T KNOW.
I GUESS THIS WAY.
(Nick) DUDE, I CAN'T REMEMBER, TO BE HONEST WITH YOU.
RIGHT BACK IN THAT AREA IS THE PLACE THAT CREEPS ME OUT THE MOST.
IT'S A POOL OF WATER THAT STILL HAS A TURBINE UNDERNEATH THAT THE NATURAL CURREN OF THE RIVER IS ROTATING, CAUSING A WHIRLPOOL.
AND WHAT'S RELEVAN ABOUT A WHIRLPOOL IS THE CHEROKEE INDIANS AND CHIEF DRAGGING CANOE SAID THAT BEFORE THIS DAM WAS BUILT HERE, THE RIVER MADE A NATURAL WHIRLPOOL, AND THEY WOULD SEE THE SOULS IN THE WHIRLPOOL, AND THEY SAID THAT THE SOULS IN THE WATER WOULD PULL THEM UNDER.
(banging) (Aaron) WHOA.
(water trickling) OH, WHAT IS THAT? LISTEN.
FOR REAL.
WHAT'S THAT NOISE? IS SOMEBODY IN HERE? TAKE YOUR CAMERA AND WALK THAT PLANK.
GO UP THERE, AND BY YOURSELF.
IS IT SAFE TO WALK UP THERE? (Nick) I THINK SO.
DON'T LEAN ON THE RAIL.
YOU THINK SO? DON'T LEAN ON THE RAIL.
DUDE, WHAT IF I FALL IN THE WATER? THE BOTTOM IS LIKE THIS MUSH.
(Nick) QUICKSAND.
EXACTLY.
BUT YOU DON' WANT TO BE IN THERE.
(Zak) I WANT TO SEE IF WE CAN DRAW IN THIS DARK FIGURE.
AARON.
(Aaron) YEAH? DO THIS, OKAY? GET YOUR DIGITAL RECORDER OUT.
OKAY.
HIT "RECORD.
" WHEN YOU'RE WALKING, SAY THAT YOU'RE WALKING.
WHEN YOU STOP, THEN DO A BURST SESSION.
DO TWO OR THREE QUESTIONS.
YOU'RE GONNA DO A TOTAL OF THREE BURST SESSIONS-- ONE HERE, ONE THERE AT THE BASE OF THE STAIRS, AND THEN ONE UP ON THE CATWALK.
ALL RIGHT, I'M ROLLING ON MY DIGITAL RECORDER.
HERE WE GO.
WE USE OUR DIGITAL RECORDERS TO CAPTURE E.
V.
P.
s, OR SPIRIT VOICES.
IS IT WEIRD HAVING PEOPLE HERE TRYING TO COMMUNICATE WITH YOU? WALKING.
RIGHT NOW, I'M NEX TO THE WHIRLPOOL WHERE SOMEONE HAS DIED IN THIS AREA, UH, DROWNED, AND I'M SURE BACK IN THE DAY, ALL KINDS OF PEOPLE HAVE DROWNED.
SO WITH THAT SAID, YOU REMEMBER ANY OF THAT HAPPENING IN THE LAST 30 YEARS? (Zak) GO UP A LEVEL, AARON.
ALL RIGHT.
HERE I GO.
(crash) (Nick) WHOA.
WHAT WAS THAT? I DON'T KNOW.
THERE WAS A LOUD CRASH BEHIND ME.
WHOA.
WHAT WAS THAT? DO YOU SEE ANYTHING? WE CAN SEE IT GOOD ON THAT THERMAL.
WE KEEP HEARING NOISES BEHIND US WHILE AARON'S DOING THE E.
V.
P.
SESSION.
WHOA! GUYS? WHAT'S WRONG? THE ENERGY UP HERE IS SO DIFFEREN THAN ANYTHING YOU'VE FELT.
IS IT? 'CAUSE I'VE GOT ELECTRICAL CHILLS UP MY BODY, DUDE.
ASK HIM TO MANIFES HIMSELF UP THERE, AARON.
THAT'S WHERE THEY'VE SEEN HIM.
OKAY, I'M NOW GONNA PLACE THE DIGITAL RECORDER.
I'M GOING IN.
OH.
ALL RIGHT, THE DIGITAL RECORDER'S RIGHT THERE.
DO YOU STAND HERE AND WATCH PEOPLE AS THEY WORK AND DO WHAT THEY GOT TO DO, BITTER AND PISSED OFF? (gasps) OH, MY GOD! DUDE! I WAS JUST STANDING HERE, AND I FEEL A TUG.
(Zak) WHAT THE (bleep) WAS THAT? (Nick) SOMEONE JUST, LIKE, WALKED UP RIGHT ON ME.
I KNOW.
YOU CAN'T BE MAD AT PEOPLE FOR THAT ANYMORE.
THERE WAS SOMETHING CAPTURED AT THAT EXACT MOMENT.
THE HALES BAR MARINA SITS ON FORMER CHEROKEE INDIAN TERRITORY.
IT IS SAID THAT A CHEROKEE CURSE IS THE CAUSE OF HAUNTINGS HERE.
WE SEND AARON TO BE ALONE ON THE CATWALK ABOVE THE WHIRLPOOL, BUT IS HE ALONE? (Aaron) DO YOU STAND HERE AND WATCH PEOPLE AS THEY WORK AND DO WHAT THEY GOT TO DO, BITTER AND PISSED OFF? (gasps) OH, MY GOD! DUDE! DUDE, SOMETHING JUST TUGGED ON MY (bleep) SO HARD, BRO.
ARE YOU SERIOUS? I AM NO (bleep) KIDDING, MAN.
I WAS JUST STANDING HERE, AND I FEEL A TUG ON MY, UH, MY VEST.
AND THEN I'M LIKE, "OKAY, I MUST BE BUMPING SOMETHING," AND I BACK UP AND MOVE TO CHECK I JUST WHILE I WAS SITTING THERE, AND IT KEPT GOING, MAN.
THERE'S NOTHING THERE.
(Nick) WHAT THE (bleep) WAS THAT? COMMUNICATE, AARON.
WHAT THE (bleep) WAS THAT? SOMEONE JUST, LIKE, WALKED UP RIGHT ON ME.
I KNOW.
THERE'S NOTHING THERE.
WHAT THE (bleep) WAS THAT? LOOK.
IT'S JUS THESE LOCKERS.
NICK AND ZAK ARE WAY OVER THERE ACROSS THAT WHOLE WATER.
DO YOU SEE ANYTHING? NOTHING? NO.
ARE YOU MAD BECAUSE-- I'M NOT ONE WHO TOOK OVER YOUR LAND, JUST SO YOU KNOW.
THAT WAS A LONG TIME AGO, AND YOU CAN'T BE MAD AT PEOPLE FOR THAT ANYMORE.
WELL, I WOULD STILL BE MAD.
I'M OUT, GRABBING MICROPHONE.
OH, MY GOD, DUDE, I DON'T WAN TO COME UP HERE AGAIN.
WHAT HAPPENED? I'M STANDING UP THERE, AND IT FEELS LIKE SOMETHING WENT LIKE THIS, TUG, TUG.
RIGHT WHEN THAT SECOND TUG HIT MM-HMM.
LIKE, THIS ENERGY CAME THROUGH ME.
I SAW IT WAS LIKE SOMETHING PASSED THROUGH ME.
I SAW SOMETHING.
YOU WERE, LIKE, IN THE SECOND WINDOW.
I DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING BECAUSE YOU WERE DOING E.
V.
P.
, BUT I THINK WHEN WE REVIEW THIS, THERE WAS SOMETHING CAPTURED AT THAT EXACT MOMENT.
FOR REAL? YEAH.
AND UPON REVIEW OF OUR THERMAL IMAGING CAMERA FOOTAGE, YOU CAN CLEARLY SEE THIS DARK MASS AS IT MOVES AWAY FROM AARON.
IT BOBS SLIGHTLY UP AND DOWN JUST LIKE A FIGURE WALKING.
IS THIS THE DARK FIGURE THAT'S BEEN SEEN ON THE CATWALK BY SEVERAL WITNESSES? A COUPLE OF THE PARANORMAL TEAMS THAT HAVE BEEN OUT HERE HAVE SEEN AN ENTITY UP ON THIS BALCONY.
BILLY, ARE YOU THERE? GO AHEAD.
BILLY, I NEED YOU TO MEET AARON at the, uh, the E.
V.
P.
drop area.
HE'S GONNA HAND OFF A RECORDER TO YOU.
GO THROUGH THAT.
Let us know if you got anything.
COPY THAT.
I'LL BE RIGHT THERE.
(Zak) GO AHEAD.
(Billy) ALL RIGHT, DUDE.
(exhales deeply) OH, DUDE.
PAY ATTENTION TO THE SPO WHEN SOMETHING GRABS ME.
ALL RIGHT, DUDE.
I'LL LET YOU GUYS KNOW.
GOOD LUCK.
THANKS.
(Nick) THERE'S A WALL RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU.
WHOA.
WHOA, WHOA, WHOA.
(Billy) Zak? YEAH, BILLY, GO AHEAD.
ALL RIGHT, I WENT OVER, UH, AARON'S RECORDER, AND YOU GO TWO REALLY GOOD E.
V.
P.
s Uh, where were you investigating, was it up on a catwalk or something? (Aaron) DAMN.
UM, WHAT--WHA ARE THE E.
V.
P.
s? (Billy laughs) UH, NOT HAPPY.
UM, THE FIRST ONE SAYS, UH, "YOU'RE (bleep).
" THE E.
V.
P.
SAYS, "YOU'RE (bleep)"? THAT'S CORRECT.
CAN YOU PLAY IT OVER THE WALKIE-TALKIE SOMEHOW? WHOA! I think we hear it now, Billy.
WHY AM I (bleep)? (Billy) Right before he talks, it says that.
DUDE, YOU CAN HEAR THAT.
We got it the second one.
WELL, THE SECOND ONE IS KIND OF LIKE, IT DOESN'T SOUND LIKE WORDS.
It sounds like chanting.
CHANTING? IT'S STRANGE.
SO TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK OF THIS ONE.
BA-BA-BA BA-BA-BA BA.
MM-HMM.
MM-HMM.
IT IS HARD TO IGNORE A POSSIBLE CONNECTION BETWEEN THESE UNEXPLAINED CHANTS AND THE AREA'S CHEROKEE INDIAN PAST.
COULD THIS BE A RESIDUAL NATIVE AMERICAN WAR CHANT? BA-BA-BA BA-BA-BA BA.
THANK YOU, BILLY.
GOOD JOB.
SO ALREADY IN THE INVESTIGATION, WE'VE GOT SOME GREAT EVIDENCE.
UH, WE'VE GOT SOME PHYSICAL TOUCH GOING ALONG WITH AARON, BUT WE HAVE SOME STUFF TO VALIDATE, UH, THA THAT MAY HAVE BEEN SOMETHING UP THERE WITH YOU.
WHAT'S REALLY, REALLY WEIRD AND IRONIC IS THEY SAID HAVE SEEN AN ENTITY UP ON THIS BALCONY.
AND WE CAUGHT A DARK-LOOKING SHADOW ABOUT THIS BIG THAT APPEARED TO BE WALKING AWAY FROM YOU AND--AND VANISHED INTO THIN AIR.
I JUST FELT SOMETHING GO RIGHT THROUGH MY BODY.
AND THEN YOU GOT FROZEN ALIVE INSIDE THIS COLD WALL OF CONCRETE? IT'S 2:00 A.
M.
ALONG THE TENNESSEE RIVER.
THE SPIRITS OF THE HALES BAR MARINA HAVE MADE THEIR PRESENCE FEL BY THE WHIRLPOOL AREA.
WE NOW HEAD UP TO THE SECOND FLOOR.
(Aaron) OH, MAN.
(Zak) WHAT? YOU WERE JUS WALKING THROUGH.
MM-HMM.
I SWEAR TO GOD, I THOUGHT YOU-- I THOUGHT YOU WENT THOUGH HERE, AND NICK KEPT GOING, AND I WAS LIKE, "DUDE, WHERE ARE WE GOING?" AND NICK'S LIKE, "THIS WAY," AND I LOOKED BACK, AND I THOUGHT I SAW YOU, LIKE, WALKING THIS WAY AND LOOKED BACK AT ME ALMOST.
OOH.
IT WENT BACK LIKE THIS? WELL, I DON'T KNOW.
SO I STOPPED, AND IT WENT BACK.
AS SOON AS I TURNED THAT CORNER, I SAW ZAK IN THE FRONT, IN FRONT OF YOU, AND I REALIZED THAT IT WASN'T ZAK.
BOTH OF YOU, COME HERE! COME HERE! COME HERE! COME HERE! COME HERE! BOTH OF YOU GUYS.
(Nick) WHOA.
I WAS JUST STANDING RIGHT HERE AS YOU WERE EXPLAINING THAT, AND I JUST FELT SOMETHING GO RIGHT THROUGH MY BODY.
IS SOMEBODY UP HERE? DID AARON JUST SEE YOU? WHEN YOU ENTERED MY BODY, OBVIOUSLY, I FELT YOU REALLY STRONGLY.
ARE YOU NOW, LIKE, MAKING ME SEE YOU OR SOMETHING? WHAT'S GOING ON WITH THIS? AARON.
(Aaron) YEAH? YOU GO DOWN VERY, VERY, UH, DOWN HERE, MAN.
COME HERE.
NICK, GO IN THAT BACK ROOM THERE WITH THE WINDOW TO YOUR BACK, SHOOT DOWN THE HALLWAY.
RECORDING SESSION.
SPIRITS IN HERE, DID YOU WORK ON BUILDING THE DAM? IS YOUR BODY STUCK INSIDE OF THE CONCRETE? IF YOU'RE THE SPIRI THAT TOLD AARON TO "(bleep) OFF," COME HERE AND TELL ME WHY YOU'RE SO MEAN.
RECORDING SESSION.
WHAT WAS THAT? THAT WASN'T US.
(Nick) HERE, LET ME RECORD I ON THIS CAMERA.
CAREFUL.
GO AHEAD.
LISTEN.
(distorted voice) I'M GONNA SHOOT YOU ALL.
YEAH! YEAH.
YEAH, NOW I CAN SEE WHAT YOU'RE SAYING.
IT SAYS, "I'M GONNA SHOOT YOU ALL.
" IT'S THAT DEEP VOICE UNDERNEATH.
IT'S RASPY.
LISTEN.
(distorted voice) I'M GONNA SHOOT YOU ALL.
HE SAYS, "I'M GONNA SHOOT YOU ALL.
" I JUST GO THE CHILLS, MAN.
I'M FEELING PINS AND NEEDLES GOING ALL THROUGH ME.
(Aaron) THAT'S HOW I WAS FEELING.
I NEVER FEEL PINS AND NEEDLES.
THERE'S A TIGHTNESS IN MY CHEST.
DID YOU JUST TELL ME THAT YOU'RE GONNA SHOOT US? WHERE ARE YOU AT? THAT SPIRIT IS STANDING AMONGST US SOMEWHERE.
WE CAN'T SEE I WITH OUR OWN EYES.
WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO SEE IT IN INFRARED.
DO YOU HAVE A MEL METER? (Zac) THIS DEVICE MEASURES ELECTROMAGNETIC ENERGY, WHICH GHOSTS ARE SAID TO MADE UP OF.
FLUCTUATIONS IN THE ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELD CAN INDICATE THE PRESENCE OF A SPIRIT.
(device beeping) (Aaron) WHOA.
THAT WAS GOING OFF, DUDE.
THAT'S THE SECOND FEATURE ON THIS MEL METER.
THE ANTENNA ALSO EMITS AN ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELD, AND IF ANYTHING COMES INTO CONTACT WITH IT LIKE THIS (device beeping) IT'LL TAKE IT OFF.
DID YOU GET THAT, AARON? YEAH.
(device beeping) WHOA.
IS THIS MEL METER DETECTING THE SAME SPIRI THAT I JUST FELT, AND AARON SPOTTED WITH HIS OWN EYES ONLY MOMENTS BEFORE THIS? BECAUSE OF ALL THE VOICES WE'RE NOW CAPTURING, WE DECIDE TO HEAD BACK OVER TO THE WHIRLPOOL AREA FOR ANOTHER E.
V.
P.
SESSION.
AARON IS ALSO ROLLING ON A FULL-SPECTRUM CAMERA, WHICH SEES A MUCH WIDER RANGE OF THE VISUAL LIGHT SPECTRUM THAN JUST OUR REGULAR NIGHT VISION CAMERAS.
(Zak) ROLLING, DIGITAL RECORDER NUMBER ONE.
THIS IS THE WHIRLPOOL E.
V.
P.
SESSION.
SEE IT? (Nick) YEAH.
I WANT TO MARK THAT IT'S ABSOLUTELY DEAD SILENT IN HERE.
THERE SHOULD BE ABSOLUTE ZERO CONTAMINATION.
CAN YOU WALK UP AND SPEAK TO THAT RECORDER? ARE YOU USING THAT WHIRLPOOL RIGHT THERE AS AN ENERGY SOURCE? GRABBING THE RECORDER DID YOU FALL INTO THIS WALL? DID YOU LEAVE WORK THAT MORNING AND KISS YOUR WIFE AND YOUR CHILDREN? AND THEN YOU GOT FROZEN ALIVE INSIDE THIS COLD WALL OF CONCRETE? AT THIS EXACT MOMENT, MY DIGITAL RECORDER, WHICH IS ABSOLUTELY STILL AGAINST THE WALL, CAPTURES AN EERIE RESPONSE TO MY QUESTION.
AND THEN YOU GOT FROZEN ALIVE INSIDE THIS COLD WALL OF CONCRETE? (distorted voice) DO YOU KNOW SOMETHING THAT WE DON'T? AT THIS TIME IN OUR LOCKDOWN WE FEEL THE NEED TO CEASE OUR INVESTIGATION FOR JUST A MOMEN AND IMMEDIATELY ADDRESS A VERY COMPELLING PIECE OF EVIDENCE WE CAPTURED WITH SOMEONE WHO IS VERY CONNECTED WITH THIS LOCATION THROUGH HIS OWN EXPERIENCES.
SOME OF THE SPIRITS THA ARE COMMUNICATING WITH ME LIKE THEY WANT ME TO BE HERE, AND THEN SOME OF THEM, DEFINITELY THEY HATE ME.
I MEAN, I CAN JUST TELL.
THEY DO? (Zak) SO WE WANT TO SHOW YOU SOMETHING THAT WE JUST CAUGH THAT WE FEEL, UH, THAT WE JUST HAVE TO SHOW YOU RIGHT AWAY.
I WONDER IF THAT WAS WHAT WAS, LIKE, AFTER ME IN THE TUNNEL.
THESE ARE THE TUNNELS WHERE ALL THE ATTACKS HAVE HAPPENED.
(Nick) HERE I AM.
COME ON.
(Zak) SOMETHING IS NOT RIGHT.
EVEN WITH MY EXPERIENCE IN IRAQ, IT WAS NOT LIKE THAT.
WE'RE 20 MILES WEST OF CHATTANOOGA.
THE MAINTENANCE SUPERVISOR AT THE MARINA IS AN IRAQ WAR VETERAN WHO FEELS HE'S BEEN THE VICTIM OF PARANORMAL ACTIVITY HERE.
WE HOPE THE EVIDENCE WE'VE GATHERED SO FAR WILL CONFIRM HIS SUSPICIONS.
(Zak) AARON IS UP THERE ON THE CATWALK, FARTHEST ON THE WALL, OKAY? OKAY.
NICK AND I ARE BACK ALL THE WAY ACROSS THE LAGOON THERE.
AARON FEELS SOMETHING TOUCH HIM AND WHAT, DRAG YOUR COAT? WELL, BASICALLY, IT WAS A TUG ON THE BACK OF MY COAT, AND RIGHT WHEN I FEEL THAT, IT FEELS LIKE SOMETHING, LIKE, WENT INTO MY BODY AND, LIKE, PASSED THROUGH IT.
AND THEN AFTER THAT, WE CATCH THIS, WHAT LOOKS LIKE A FIGURE WALK ACROSS HERE AND DISAPPEAR.
AND THE COLOR OF I IS ALL THIS COLOR, SIGNIFYING NO HEAT.
IT'S ALL MADE UP OF COLD.
RIGHT.
WATCH THIS.
WOW, IT'S LIKE--IT'S EVEN, LIKE, HUNCHED OVER LIKE.
YEAH.
AND WALKING KIND OF WEIRD.
WEIRD.
I MEAN, IT'S DEFINITELY NOT LIKE A PERSON.
BUT YOU-- THERE'S NO WAY THEY COULD BEND THEIR BODY LIKE THAT.
ISN'T IT? IT'S SCARY.
I MEAN, LIKE, YOU KNOW WHAT'S CRAZY? I HAD A COUPLE OF PEOPLE TELL ME THAT WHEN WE WERE IN THE TUNNELS THAT THEY SEEN, LIKE, A HUNCHED-OVER YEAH? OLD MAN, LIKE, PEEKING AROUND AT 'EM AND STUFF.
(shudders) OLD MAN? YEAH.
OH, GOD.
CRAZY THING IS, IS IT'S WALKING AWAY FROM AARON AT THE SAME EXACT TIME THAT HE FELT BEING TUGGED AND SOMETHING GO THROUGH HIM.
AND THAT WAS REALLY AN INTENSE MOMENT, BECAUSE I'VE NEVER REALLY HAD THAT FEELING GO THROUGH ME LIKE THAT.
THAT'S LIKE WHEN I WAS TELLING YOU ABOUT, LIKE, EVERYTHING THA I'VE HAD HAPPEN TO ME HERE, LIKE THE MOMEN I HAD IN THE TUNNEL.
IT WAS JUST-- IT WAS CRAZY.
YEAH.
IT'S LIKE I'VE NEVER HAD THAT TRAUMATIZING-- DID YOU HAVE A CRAZY HEARTBEA AND ALL THAT? IT WAS JUST LIKE BOOM? YEAH, EVEN WITH MY EXPERIENCE IN IRAQ, IT WAS NOT LIKE THAT.
IT WAS LIKE SOMETHING JUS DEFINITELY DOESN'T WANT-- IN THE TUNNELS? YEAH.
THAT MAKES ME WONDER IF THAT WAS WHAT WAS, LIKE, AFTER ME IN THE TUNNEL, YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING? YEAH.
YEAH.
WELL, THAT'S WHERE WE'RE HEADED.
HEY, WE SHARED THE SAME EXPERIENCE DOWN THERE.
IS THAT REALLY WHERE YOU'RE HEADED? THAT'S WHERE WE'RE HEADED NOW.
WE SAVED THE BEST FOR LAST.
ALL RIGHT, THE TIME HAS COME TO INVESTIGATE THE MOST ANTICIPATED PAR OF THIS LOCATION.
UH, THESE ARE THE TUNNELS WHERE ALL THE ATTACKS HAVE HAPPENED, AND NOW IT'S OUR TIME.
IS ANYBODY IN THESE TUNNELS? I HEARD YOU LIKE TO ATTACK PEOPLE.
DO YOU WAN TO ATTACK US? COME HERE, AARON.
(Zak) WE'RE GONNA SEND SOMEBODY DOWN.
GO AHEAD, AARON, CALL OUT TO THEM.
(Aaron) CAN YOU COME AROUND ME AT LEAST, SO THAT WE CAN SEE YOU ON THAT CAMERA? KEEP GOING.
EVEN IF YOU DON'T WAN TO SCRATCH ME OR ANYTHING, CAN YOU JUST COME AND STAND NEXT TO ME SO WE CAN SEE YOU? RIGHT NOW, AARON'S DIGITAL RECORDER IS CAPTURING UNEXPLAINED VOICES THAT APPEAR TO HAVE CHILDREN OR FEMALE TONES.
WE RULED IT OUT AS NOT BEING MATRIXING BY THE DRIPPING WATER BECAUSE AT THE SAME TIME, YOU HEAR THE VOICES WITH FULL TONE, YOU CAN ALSO HEAR THE WATER DRIPPING.
EVEN IF YOU DON'T WAN TO SCRATCH ME OR ANYTHING, CAN YOU JUST COME AND STAND NEXT TO BE SO WE CAN SEE YOU? (water dripping) (Nick) WHAT DO YOU MEAN? WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? YEAH, I KNOW.
I HEARD YOU.
WHAT'S THE MATTER? WHO'S IN HERE WITH US? I CAN FEEL YOU.
I WANT YOU TO TELL ME WHO YOU ARE.
AT THIS EXACT MOMENT, MY DIGITAL RECORDER CAPTURES WHAT SOUNDS LIKE A MAN RESPONDING TO ME.
I WANT YOU TO TELL ME WHO YOU ARE.
HOLY (bleep).
I FELT THAT.
I LEFT MY BODY FOR A MINUTE, AND MY BODY WAS JUST A TON OF BRICKS JUST STANDING THERE.
I COULD FEEL THE WEIGH OF MY BODY, BUT I COULDN'T FEEL ME IN MY BODY.
WITH ALL OF THESE UNEXPLAINED VOICES AND FEELINGS WE WERE RECEIVING, NOW SEEMS LIKE THE PERFECT TIME TO LEAVE NICK ALL BY HIMSELF IN THESE TUNNELS.
(Zak) WE HAVE A DIGITAL RECORDER RIGHT IN THE CENTER INTERSECTION OF THE TUNNELS.
(Zak) WE HAVE A FULL-SPECTRUM CAMERA COVERING THE LONG TUNNEL BEHIND HIM SO IF ANYTHING CREEPS UP ON HIM, HE WON'T KNOW IT, BUT YOU WILL.
GOOD LUCK, NICK.
(Nick) THANKS.
(Nick) IS THIS WHAT YOU WANTED? YOU WANTED ME TO BE ALL BY MYSELF IN THIS TUNNEL? DO YOU KNOW A GUY NAMED BUDDY WHO'S BEEN IN THESE TUNNELS BEFORE, AND YOU'VE SCARED HIM REALLY BAD WHERE HE WON'T EVEN COME IN HERE BY HIMSELF ANYMORE? LIKE THE MOMEN I HAD IN THE TUNNEL, IT WAS JUST-- IT WAS CRAZY.
WHAT DID YOU DO TO HIM? IT JUST GOT REALLY COLD ALL OF A SUDDEN.
WHAT HAPPENS IF I WALK DOWN HERE, HUH? COME ON, FOLLOW ME.
HERE I AM.
IS THERE ANYBODY IN THIS TUNNEL? THE DIGITAL RECORDER ON THE CHAIR IS NOW CAPTURING THIS UNEXPLAINED VOICE THAT APPEARS TO SAY "TELL YOUR" AND SOMETHING ELSE AFTERWARDS, BUT WE'RE UNABLE TO DECIPHER THE REST.
SEE IF YOU CAN MAKE IT OUT.
IS THERE ANYBODY IN THIS TUNNEL? THE ROUGH CURRENTS OF THE MIGHTY TENNESSEE RIVER TELL A STORY OF INJUSTICE, OF LAND STOLEN AND FOUGHT FOR.
THE DARK AND BLOODY VOW OF CHIEF DRAGGING CANOE HAS ENDURED LONG PAS HIS TIME ON EARTH, HIS CURSE A PLAGUE ON THE HALES BAR MARINA AND ANYONE WHO STEPS INSIDE.
(thunder rumbles) (Aaron) I CAN'T SEE! WHERE ARE YOU?! THE CHIEF TRIED TO KEEP US AWAY, BUT WE PERSEVERED, STANDING FACE-TO-FACE WITH THE ANGRY SPIRITS HE KEEPS TRAPPED WITHIN THESE WALLS.
OH, MY GOD! DUDE!
