My Ghost Story (2010) s05e01 Episode Script

DiBuono: IT WAS SO AMAZING.
IT WAS NOTHING YOU CAN EVER FORGET.
Reeder: THIS THING WAS ON TOP OF US.
DiBuono: I'VE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT, AND I DON'T WAN TO EVER SEE IT AGAIN.
Durish: WE'D CAUGHT A MIST.
IT MOVED VERY QUICKLY ACROSS THE ROOM.
IT SENT A CHILL UP MY SPINE.
Foster: IT FELT LIKE SOMEBODY WAS TOUCHING MY HAIR.
I WAS SCARED TO DEATH.
Probst: HE JUST LOOKED LIKE HE WAS ENGULFED IN FEAR.
Colburn: "THIS ASHTRAY JUST EXPLODED.
" I COULD NOT BELIEVE WHAT I WAS SEEING.
IT'S CRAZY.
Blake: MY MIDDLE SON CAME RUNNING INTO THE ROOM, AND HE WAS HYSTERICAL.
THAT WAS THE FREAKIEST THING I'D EVER SEEN.
Colburn: A COUPLE SECONDS INTO THE VIDEO, THERE IT WAS.
I COULD NOT BELIEVE WHAT I WAS SEEING.
THAT IS THE POIN THAT I REALIZED THAT THERE IS SOMETHING IN THE BAR.
MY GHOST STORY BEGAN WHEN I OPENED A BAR IN AUGUST OF 2009.
THE BAR HAS HAD FIVE OWNERS TOTAL.
I'M THE FIFTH GUY TO TAKE ON THIS LOCATION.
PREVIOUS, WHEN THE BAR WAS CALLED BACKDOOR, THERE WAS A GENTLEMAN NAMED AL WHO OWNED IT.
ONE NIGHT, AL HAD DECIDED, I GUESS, THAT HE HAD HAD ENOUGH.
WE HAD HEARD DIFFERENT STORIES.
AND, APPARENTLY, ONE NIGHT, HE ORDERED SOME FOOD FROM NEXT DOOR AND HE ATE HIS FOOD, AND, AT THE END OF THAT MEAL, HE WENT TO THE BACKDOOR, HE PUT A REVOLVER TO HIS HEAD, AND HE SHOT HISSELF.
[ GUNSHOT .]
THE FIRST TIME THAT I GO INTERESTED IN THE BAR, A FRIEND HAD CALLED ME AND SAID THAT THE BAR WAS AVAILABLE.
SO, WHAT I DID WAS DRIVE DOWN TO THE BAR, AND IT WAS CLOSED UP, BUT EVERYTHING WAS ON INSIDE LIKE THERE WAS A PARTY GOING ON.
YOU COULD SEE THE VIDEO GAMES GOING.
YOU COULD HEAR EVEN THE MUSIC ON THE JUKEBOX PLAYING.
IT WAS LOUD.
AND IT WAS JUS A REAL WEIRD KIND OF A FEELING FROM THIS PLACE, BUT I JUST REALLY DIDN'T THINK MUCH ABOUT IT.
WHEN I FIRST STARTED RENOVATING, YOU WOULD GET A SENSE THAT YOU WERE BEING WATCHED.
IT WAS ALMOST, LIKE, JUST A VERY UNEASY FEELING, LIKE YOU WERE MESSING WITH SOMEBODY'S STUFF.
THEN, A COUPLE OF MONTHS LATER, MY AUNT RENEE EXPERIENCED SOME STRANGE THINGS.
SHE'S BEEN WORKING AS A BARTENDER FOR ME FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS NOW.
Sailer: THE FIRST TIME I NOTICED SOMETHING STRANGE HAPPENING IS WHEN I WAS OPENING THE BAR.
WHEN I CAME IN, I NOTICED THAT THE AIR FELT REAL HEAVY, LIKE YOU COULD FEEL THE PRESSURE IN YOUR CHEST, AND IT WAS A LITTLE DIFFICUL TO BREATHE.
I STARTED FEELING DEPRESSED FOR NO APPARENT REASON, AND THEN IT BECAME MORE OF A FEELING OF GRIEF.
I COULDN'T FIGURE OU WHAT WAS WRONG WITH ME, SO I MENTIONED IT TO JAMES, AND HE SAID THAT HE HAD FEL THE SAME FEELING THAT SAME DAY.
THE NEXT THING THAT HAPPENED WAS, WE WERE CLOSING THE BAR ONE NIGHT, AND I JUST MADE A COMMENT, "WHY DON'T Y'ALL COME OU AND HELP US?" -- REFERRING TO THE SPIRITS.
AND WE HAVE A 1,000-POUND ICE MACHINE WITH A HUGE ICE SCOOP ON TOP, AND IT FLEW OFF AND LANDED ABOUT 5 FEE INTO A HALL AND HIT THE WALL.
Colburn: THESE HUGE SCOOPS ARE NOT LIGHT.
THEY'RE BIG AND HARDY.
NO EXPLANATION -- FLEW OFF INTO THE HALLWAY, AND WE ALL RAN BACK THERE, OF COURSE, TO SEE WHAT HAPPENED.
Sailer: THAT SCARED ME.
Colburn: AFTER THE ICE-MACHINE INCIDENT, I INSTALLED THE VIDEO-CAMERA SYSTEM.
THE CAMERAS WERE SET UP ON A DVR.
THEY WERE INITIALLY SET UP FOR MOTION DETECTION.
SO, IF NOTHING WAS GOING ON, THEY WERE NOT RECORDING.
IT WAS SUPPOSED TO GIVE ME ABOUT SEVEN DAYS OF FOOTAGE, AND WHAT I WAS GETTING WAS THREE OR FOUR DAYS MAX.
WHAT I DISCOVERED WAS THAT THEY WERE RUNNING ALL NIGHT LONG.
I WANTED TO SEE WHAT WAS GOING ON DURING THE NIGH THAT WAS EATING UP ALL THE DVR ROOM.
SO, I STARTED WATCHING THE VIDEOS, AND I JUST PICKED A RANDOM MOMENT, AND THAT'S WHEN I SAW THE FIRST ORB.
A COUPLE SECONDS INTO THE VIDEO, THERE IT WAS.
AT FIRST, I THOUGHT IT WAS DUST, BUT DUS DOESN'T CHANGE DIRECTIONS.
IT DOESN'T HAVE A MIND OF ITS OWN, AND THIS THING FLOATED ACROSS THE ROOM AND CHANGED DIRECTIONS ON ME.
I COULD NOT BELIEVE WHAT I WAS SEEING.
IT'S CRAZY.
SOMETIME LATER, WE HAD A PARTY IN THE BAR, AND WE DECIDED AT THE END OF THE PARTY TO TAKE A PICTURE.
WE TOOK ONE PHOTO.
AND THEN, WHEN WENT TO TAKE THE SECOND PHOTO, WE JOKINGLY SAID, "HEY, AL, COME TAKE THE PICTURE WITH US.
" AND WHEN WE WERE LOOKING THROUGH THE PICTURES, IN THE SECOND PHOTO, IF YOU LOOK REAL CLOSELY ABOVE MY HEAD, IT'S THERE.
Sailer: RIGHT ABOVE JAMES' HEAD, I COULD SEE IT.
Colburn: IT WAS THE SPIRIT OF AL IN THE PICTURE WITH US.
THAT'S WHAT SCARED ME.
NOTHING I'VE HEARD, NOTHING I FEL GAVE ME CHILLS LIKE THAT PHOTO.
THAT IS WHEN I KNEW THAT THERE WAS A CONNECTION BETWEEN WHAT WE WERE EXPERIENCING AND THE PREVIOUS OWNER OF THAT BAR.
WE DIDN'T THINK THE PLACE COULD ACTUALLY BE DANGEROUS UNTIL RENEE HAD HER INCIDEN IN THE BATHROOM.
Sailer: IT WAS A SATURDAY NIGHT, JAMES WAS IN THE DEEJAY BOOTH, AND I TOOK A BRIEF BREAK TO GO TO THE LADIES' RESTROOM.
AND AS I WAS EXITING THE STALL, OPENING THE DOOR WITH MY HAND, SOMETHING FROM BEHIND SHOVED ME AND KNOCKED ME INTO THE WALL DIRECTLY ACROSS FROM THE STALL AND BRUISED MY FOREHEAD.
Colburn: RENEE COMES OUT OF THE RESTROOM.
SHE HAS GOT A TERRIFIED LOOK ON HER FACE.
SHE'S AS WHITE AS A SHEET.
SHE SAID, "SOMETHING PUSHED ME.
"BUT IT WASN'T LIKE HANDS.
IT WAS LIKE A FORCE.
IT JUST FORCED ME AGAINST THE WALL.
" Sailer: WHEN IT FIRST HAPPENED, I FELT SHOCKED.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT WAS.
I COULD JUST FEEL THAT IT WAS ANGRY.
THAT'S THE SCARIEST THING THAT'S HAPPENED TO ME AT THE BAR.
Colburn: THEN IT WAS A FEW WEEKS LATER.
I'M WALKING A CUSTOMER OUT THE DOOR, AND MY BARTENDER IS WIPING THE BAR DOWN, AND THAT IS WHEN, AS I'M WALKING INTO THE BAR, WE HEARD AN EXPLOSION.
[ GLASS SHATTERS .]
LIKE SHATTERED GLASS -- VERY LOUD.
AND WE THOUGHT THA MAYBE A GLASS HAD FELL OVER.
MY BARTENDER EXPLAINED, "NO, THIS ASHTRAY JUST EXPLODED.
" [ GLASS SHATTERS .]
AND I SAID, "DO WHAT? NO.
ASHTRAYS DON'T EXPLODE.
" THAT'S WHEN I REALIZED THAT WE HAD TO GO IN THE BACK AND TAKE A LOOK AT THE VIDEO FOOTAGE.
WHEN I LOOKED AT THAT VIDEO, THE ORB FLIES OVER TO THE ASHTRAY, CLEARLY, AND THEN THAT'S WHEN THE ASHTRAY BLOWS UP.
THAT IS WHAT SCARED ME, BECAUSE WE HAD OTHER ORB VIDEOS BUT NEVER A CONNECTION BETWEEN ORBS AND DESTRUCTION.
Sailer: JAMES SHOWED ME THE VIDEO, AND THIS THING JUST EXPLODED.
IT WAS THE WAY IT EXPLODED.
IT WAS FORCEFUL.
Colburn: IT WAS LIKE, "NOW IT'S NOT ONLY A SPIRIT.
"IT'S SOMETHING AGGRESSIVE.
IT'S SOMETHING THAT, YOU KNOW, MIGHT CAUSE YOU HARM.
" Sailer: THERE'S AN AREA RIGH WHERE THE ASHTRAY EXPLODED, AND IT'S VERY COLD RIGHT THERE.
YOU FEEL THE HAIR STAND UP ON THE BACK OF YOUR NECK, ON YOUR ARMS, AND YOU JUST FEEL COLD.
THAT'S WHERE AL USED TO SIT.
THE SPIRIT OF AL IS STILL THERE IN THE BAR.
Colburn: I'VE EXPERIENCED SOMETHING THAT I CAN'T EXPLAIN, BUT I KNOW IT'S THERE -- IN PHOTOGRAPHS, IN VIDEO, BEING TOUCHED.
THAT'S NOT MY IMAGINATION.
THAT'S REAL.
IT IS ABSOLUTELY REAL.
Sailer: JUST BECAUSE YOU CAN'T SEE THEM DOESN'T MEAN THEY'RE NOT THERE.
I DON'T THINK IT'S A GOOD IDEA FOR ME TO CONTINUE WORKING THERE -- MENTALLY OR EMOTIONALLY.
BUT BECAUSE JAMES IS MY NEPHEW, HE'S FAMILY, I WON'T LEAVE BECAUSE OF THAT.
Colburn: OWNING THIS BAR HAS BEEN A LOT LIKE AS IF YOU WERE A SURGE PROTECTOR, AND EVERY DAY YOU GET HI WITH ENERGY ALL DAY LONG.
PRETTY SOON YOU WEAR OUT.
MY PLAN IS TO SELL THE BAR.
I FEEL LIKE I'VE PUT MY TIME IN AND MY TIME IS UP.
Foster: THE CONGRESS THEATER WAS PART OF A DOCUMENTARY.
Probst: IT HAD SUCH A FADED FEELING TO IT.
WHEN THE LIGHTS WENT OUT, IT GOT REALLY WEIRD.
Foster: AN ORB COMES INTO FRAME, STOPS.
IT'S MIND-BLOWING.
Foster: AN ORB, VOLLEYBALL-SIZE, COMES INTO FRAME, STOPS.
IT'S MIND-BLOWING.
MY GHOST STORY BEGAN WHEN I VISITED THE CONGRESS THEATER IN CHICAGO, ILLINOIS.
THE CONGRESS THEATER WAS PART OF A DOCUMENTARY I WAS PRODUCING AS A COLLEGE STUDENT.
I DIDN'T COMPLETELY BELIEVE IN GHOSTS.
I WAS DOING I MORE FOR MY BENEFI TO SEE WHAT IT WAS LIKE TO BE ON AN ACTUAL PARANORMAL INVESTIGATION, TO SEE WHAT THESE PEOPLE DO, AND TO DOCUMEN THE SCIENCE BEHIND IT.
DAVE OLSON WAS THE SUBJEC OF THE DOCUMENTARY.
HE PUT FORTH THE EFFOR TO RESEARCH THE PLACE AND, YOU KNOW, HELP US OUT.
I PUT TOGETHER A TEAM OF PEOPLE THROUGH SCHOOL.
ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE WAS SAM.
Probst: I WORKED WITH BRIAN ON SEVERAL DIFFERENT TYPES OF PROJECTS -- BOTH DOCUMENTARIES AND INDEPENDENT FILM.
I DIDN'T KNOW MUCH ABOUT GHOSTS, BUT I FIGURED, "WHY NOT HELP?" IT WAS A REALLY BEAUTIFUL PLACE.
IT HAD SUCH A FADED FEELING TO IT.
IT'S BEEN AROUND FOR ALMOST 100 YEARS.
IT'S AN OLD SHOW PALACE, BUT IT'S NOT VERY WELCOMING.
YOU WALK AROUND, AND THERE'S CREAKS [ CREAKING .]
A LOT OF DARK CORRIDORS, STAIRWAYS THAT LEAD TO BASICALLY NOTHING.
IT MAKES YOU WONDER, "IF THESE WALLS COULD TALK, WHAT WOULD THEY SAY?" IT'S VERY SPOOKY.
THE PARANORMAL INVESTIGATORS WERE PUTTING TOGETHER EQUIPMENT.
WE WERE SCANNING THE ROOMS, FIGURING OUT WHERE WE WOULD FILM AND WHATNOT.
Foster: THE SETUP TOOK A FEW HOURS, AND THAT'S WHEN WE WENT DARK.
Probst: WHEN THE LIGHTS WENT OUT, IT GOT REALLY WEIRD.
THERE WAS SUDDENLY THIS ODD FEEL IN THE PLACE.
YOU JUST HAD THESE FEELINGS AS IF THERE WAS PEOPLE WATCHING YOU.
WE DECIDED TO DO A LITTLE BI OF OUR OWN INVESTIGATION FOR A COUPLE HOURS.
Foster: SAM AND I WENT UP TO THE STAGE, AND THERE WAS A STAIRCASE THAT LED UP TO THE CATWALK.
SAM WAS HOLDING THE CAMERA, AND I WAS FOLLOWING BEHIND WITH AN AUDIO RECORDER.
Probst: WE STARTED GOING UP THOSE STEPS, REALIZING THAT WE WERE GOING INTO TERRITORY THAT MAYBE WE SHOULDN'T BE GOING INTO.
Foster: IT WAS A VERY TIGH STAIRCASE, WINDING AROUND.
Probst: IT WAS ABOUT FOUR FLIGHTS UP.
Foster: WE GOT ABOUT A QUARTER OF THE WAY UP THE STAIRS WHEN I HEARD A FEMALE CRYING.
[ CRYING .]
SO I STOPPED, AND I ASKED HIM IF HE HAD HEARD SOMETHING.
Probst: MY STOMACH DROPPED TO THE BOTTOM OF THAT STAIRWAY, PRACTICALLY.
WE BOTH WERE HEARING IT.
WHEN YOU THINK OF CHILDREN, YOU THINK INNOCENCE AND HAPPINESS.
BUT THE MOMENT I HEARD THAT VOICE OF THAT LITTLE GIRL, I JUST FELT REALLY UNCOMFORTABLE WITH THE FACT THAT THERE WAS SOME OTHER THING IN THIS STAGE.
Foster: [ GASPS .]
Probst: IT MADE THE HAIRS STAND UP ON THE TOP OF MY NECK.
Foster: WE TOOK A SECOND.
WE LISTENED.
WE DIDN'T HEAR ANYTHING.
SO, WE'RE LIKE, "OKAY, WELL, LET'S MAKE OUR WAY UP A LITTLE BIT FURTHER.
" AND I IMMEDIATELY STOPPED.
SAM STOPPED AT THE SAME EXACT TIME.
HE AND I BOTH HEARD THIS LOW HUM OF MUSIC PLAYING.
Probst: IT WAS SUCH AN OVERWHELMING FEELING THAT WE JUST KNEW WE HAD TO GET DOWN.
I WAS TERRIFIED.
Foster: I SAW WHAT LOOKED LIKE A SHADOW RUN ACROSS THE OTHER SIDE OF THE STAGE -- FAST.
Probst: HE JUST LOOKED LIKE HE WAS ENGULFED IN FEAR.
Foster: THE FACT THAT I'M HEARING A LITTLE GIRL'S VOICE AND THEN SEEING HER LITTLE SHADOW -- THAT'S KIND OF A VALIDATION RIGHT THERE.
Probst: THE LOOK ON HIS FACE ALONE WAS ENOUGH FOR ME TO BELIEVE THAT THERE WAS DEFINITELY SOMETHING THAT HAD JUST PASSED BY.
Foster: I'M 100% SCARED AT THIS POINT.
I'M NOT ONE TO BE AFRAID OF THE DARK.
I'VE BEEN A FAN OF SCARY THINGS MY ENTIRE LIFE.
THIS BROUGHT A REALITY TO SOME OF THE HORROR FILMS THAT I'VE SEEN GROWING UP AS A KID.
THERE'S NOTHING I CAN PAUSE.
THERE'S NOTHING I CAN TURN OFF AT THIS POINT.
THIS IS HAPPENING.
THIS IS HAPPENING IN REAL TIME.
Probst: THERE WAS NO WAY WE WERE WANTED UP AT THE TOP OF THOSE STAIRWAY STEPS.
WE GOT TO THE BOTTOM.
Foster: I WAS READY TO LEAVE THE CONGRESS AT THIS POINT, BUT THIS WAS ONLY WITHIN THE FIRST HOUR OF OUR FILMING, AND I KNOW I NEEDED SOME MORE COVERAGE.
WE INTERVIEWED A MEDIUM.
SHE HAD SAID THAT THERE WAS A LITTLE GIRL THAT DIED UP ON THE CATWALK AREA.
YOU GOT TO TAKE A STEP BACK, AND YOU GOT TO REALIZE, "WELL, WHAT'S GOING ON?" Probst: MAYBE THAT WAS SOMEONE THAT WAS CONTACTING US.
Foster: THIS WAS LEGITIMATE -- LIKE I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF A REAL HORROR FILM.
[ GASPS .]
THE CONGRESS THEATER WAS AN OLD SHOW PALACE, SEATING 2,500 PEOPLE.
ABOVE THE BALCONY, THE PROJECTIONIS WOULD PLAY THE FILMS ON THE GIANT SCREEN.
HE HAD HIS OWN ROOM THAT HE ACTUALLY STAYED IN, RIGHT NEX TO WHERE THE PROJECTOR WAS.
Probst: FROM WHAT I'VE BEEN TOLD, HE ACTUALLY DIED IN THAT ROOM.
Foster: WE HEADED INTO THE PROJECTIONIST ROOM.
Probst: WHEN WE WALKED INTO THE THRESHOLD OF THAT DOORWAY, IT HAD ANOTHER FEELING TO I AS IF WE SHOULDN'T BE IN THERE.
I ASKED BRIAN, "DO YOU NOTICE THA IT'S GETTING COLDER IN HERE?" AND HE SAID, "YEAH.
" SITTING IN THE VERY CORNER OF THIS ROOM, WE SEE THIS CHAIR.
Foster: THE MEDIUM THAT HAD LOOKED THROUGH THE BUILDING SAID THAT THE PROJECTIONIS WAS STILL IN THAT ROOM AND THAT HE HAD A FAVORITE CHAIR.
I THOUGHT THIS WOULD BE A GOOD OPPORTUNITY TO TEST THA AND SEE WHAT WOULD HAPPEN.
SO, I SA IN THE PROJECTIONIST'S CHAIR.
I WASN'T IN THERE FOR A FEW MINUTES WHEN I FELT AS IF A HAND HAD BRUSHED THROUGH MY HAIR, ALMOST LIKE A SPIDER.
Probst: AND HE JUST GRABS THE BACK OF HIS HEAD.
HE WAS LIKE, "WHAT WAS THAT?" Foster: THE SECOND I FELT THAT, I GOT UP AND GOT THE HELL OUT OF THAT CHAIR.
Probst: HE JUST STARTS PACING REALLY FAST.
HE LOOKS TERRIFIED.
Foster: I WAS SCARED TO DEATH.
IT FELT LIKE SOMEBODY WAS TOUCHING MY HAIR.
Probst: WE JUST STARTED TO FEEL LIKE WE REALLY SHOULD NOT BE IN THAT ROOM.
Foster: YOU'RE HEARING ABOUT AN AREA WHERE A PRESENCE COULD BE.
YOU TEST THAT THEORY, AND THEN SOMETHING TOUCHES YOU? AT THIS POINT, I'M BECOMING A BELIEVER.
Probst: SO, WE WALK OUT OF THERE.
IT GETS WARMER AGAIN ALL OF A SUDDEN.
I BELIEVE THAT THE SPIRIT PROJECTIONIS WAS THE PERSON INSTIGATING BRIAN TO GET OUT OF THAT ROOM.
THE PARANORMAL INVESTIGATOR THAT WE WERE WITH PICKED UP THESE EVPs DURING THE TIME THAT WE WERE IN THAT ROOM.
THERE WAS A VOICE IN THERE THAT WAS SAYING, "GET OUT.
" Foster: I DEFINITELY FELT LIKE SOMEBODY WANTED ME TO GET OUT OF THERE.
HEARING THAT AUDIO AFTER THE FACT, I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT TO SAY.
Probst: I COULDN'T BELIEVE WHAT I HEARD.
Foster: SET UP THROUGHOU THE CONGRESS THEATER WAS A COMBINATION OF HANDHELD CAMERAS AND STATIC CAMERAS THAT WERE NIGHT-VISION, FULL-SPECTRUM -- YOU COULD SEE IN THE DARK.
TWO OF THE CAMERAS WE SET UP IN THE BALCONY AREA.
ONE WAS POINTING DOWN THE HALLWAY OF THE BALCONY WHICH LED TO THE SEATS.
ONE WAS POINTED AT THE SEATS THEMSELVES, ROLLING THE WHOLE NIGHT.
Probst: WHEN I LOOKED BACK AT THE VIDEO, I COULDN'T BELIEVE WHAT I SAW.
THERE WERE THESE ORBS THAT WERE SHOOTING OU FROM BEHIND THE SEATS AND GOING UP INTO A BUNCH OF DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS RIGHT IN FRONT OF WHERE THE PROJECTIONIST'S WINDOW WAS.
Foster: IT WAS MARCH IN CHICAGO, AT THIS POINT, SO BUGS WERE NOT REALLY A FACTOR.
WE COULDN'T CHALK IT UP TO DUS OR ANYTHING ELSE.
I RELATED THEM TO FIREWORKS -- JUST FLYING UP FROM THE SEATS AND OFF THE CAMERA.
Probst: IT MAKES YOU WONDER, MAYBE, IF IT WAS A SPIRI THAT WAS SITTING IN THOSE SEATS, OR MAYBE EVEN IT WAS THE PROJECTIONIS AND HE WAS OCCUPYING THAT BALCONY.
Foster: THEN WE PULL OUT THE VIDEO FROM THE ONE THAT'S POINTING DOWN THE HALLWAY.
AN ORB, VOLLEYBALL-SIZE, COMES INTO FRAME, STOPS, AND THEN EXITS FRAME.
THE ONLY THING I CAN DESCRIBE IT AS -- IF YOU'VE SEEN "GHOSTBUSTERS" -- IS THE SLIMER.
IT LOOKS LIKE IT WAS GELATINOUS.
IT'S MIND-BLOWING.
Probst: I FIND IT IRONIC THAT IT WAS RIGHT NEXT TO WHERE THE PROJECTIONIST'S ROOM WAS.
Foster: THE ONLY WAY TO DESCRIBE THAT, IN MY OPINION -- IT'S PARANORMAL.
WE STOPPED INVESTIGATING ABOUT 4:30 IN THE MORNING.
IT WAS A ROUGH NIGHT OF SLEEP.
THERE WAS A LOT OF STUFF GOING THROUGH MY HEAD.
I WAS SEEING THE STAIRS, THAT SHADOW.
OH [BLEEP.]
DUDE.
I JUST SAW SOMETHING CROSS OVER.
THAT KIND OF STUFF STUCK WITH ME.
Probst: WHEN I LOOK BACK A THE NIGHT AT CONGRESS THEATER, THAT'S THE NIGHT THAT I STARTED BELIEVING IN GHOSTS.
I WOULD SAY IT WAS ONE OF THE SCARIEST MOMENTS OF MY LIFE.
Foster: I BELIEVE THIS EXPERIENCE HAS MADE ME MORE OF A BELIEVER THAN I EVER WAS.
I SAW, HEARD AND FELT THINGS THAT WERE DEFINITELY NOT OF THIS WORLD.
Blake: IN THE OBITUARY, THE GUY HAD DIED ON DECEMBER 23rd, AND OUR FIRST EXPERIENCE WAS, LIKE, AT THE VERY END OF DECEMBER.
Lane: THERE WAS AN EVP BEHIND THE DISEMBODIED VOICE.
IT WAS KIND OF UNNERVING SINCE THE DISEMBODIED VOICE SAID MY WIFE'S NAME.
Blake: MY SON CAME RUNNING INTO THE ROOM.
HE WAS LIKE, "MOM, SOMETHING JUST SCRATCHED ME.
" THAT WAS PROBABLY THE FREAKIES THING I'D EVER SEEN.
MY GHOST STORY BEGAN WHEN I MOVED INTO MY HOME IN SPOKANE, WASHINGTON.
MY UNCLE HAD A HOME, AND HE ASKED ME IF WE WANTED TO PURCHASE THE HOUSE.
SO WE DECIDED TO BUY THE HOUSE FROM HIM.
WHEN WE FIRST MOVED INTO THE HOUSE, I WAS PREGNANT, AND I HAD A LOT OF MORNING SICKNESS, SO I WOULD STAY IN BED, AND I WOULD HEAR FOOTSTEPS UPSTAIRS.
MY HUSBAND SAID THAT HE WOULD HEAR FOOTSTEPS EVERY NOW AND THEN, BUT NOBODY ELSE REALLY HEARD ANYTHING.
SO I JUST THOUGHT, "MAYBE IT'S JUST AN OLD HOUSE.
" OUR FIRST REAL EXPERIENCE THAT HAPPENED IN THE HOUSE WAS ME AND MY HUSBAND WERE SLEEPING, AND WE HEARD A BANG.
IT SOUNDED LIKE SOMETHING BIG HAD FALLEN.
MY SON TOMMY CAME RUNNING INTO THE ROOM, AND HE WAS HYSTERICAL -- I MEAN, SCREAMING, CRYING.
HE WAS LIKE, "I WAS IN MY ROOM, AND I WATCHED MY DOOR OPEN.
" AND HE SAID THAT HE WATCHED A SHADOW WALK OVER ON THE SIDE OF HIS BED, AND WHATEVER IT WAS RUBBED HIS LEG.
HE LOOKED DOWN ON THE SIDE OF HIS BUNK BED, AND THERE WAS NOBODY THERE.
WE WERE JUST LIKE, "YOU KNOW, TOMMY, LAY OFF THE SCARY MOVIES.
YOU'RE JUST FREAKING YOURSELF OUT.
" MY DAUGHTER TAYLOR -- SHE LIKES TO DANCE, AND SHE'LL PUT ON MUSIC, AND SHE'LL DO HER LITTLE DANCES, AND I WOULD VIDEO HER IN THE LIVING ROOM.
WE STARTED NOTICING THESE ORBS THAT WOULD FLY AROUND HER.
WE WEREN'T SURE, AT FIRST, IF IT WAS DUST.
IT WOULD COME OUT, AND IT WOULD GO AROUND HER AND GO UP.
ONE OF THEM -- IT ACTUALLY FORMED ON THE GROUND AND THEN SHOT STRAIGHT UP.
DUST DOESN'T FORM INTO A BALL AND THEN GO STRAIGHT UP.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE ORBS ARE.
I DON'T KNOW IF THEY'RE SPIRITS.
IT SEEMS TO ME THAT IT'S SOME SORT OF ENERGY.
THAT NIGHT, JAYDEN WAS LIKE, "MOM, SOMETHING JUST SCRATCHED ME.
" AT FIRST, I DIDN'T BELIEVE HIM.
HE TURNED AROUND AND LIFTED UP HIS SHIRT, AND, SURE ENOUGH, THERE WERE FOUR MARKS JUST DOWN THE CENTER OF HIS BACK, AND THEY WERE BRIGHT RED.
AS I WAS TAKING PICTURES OF IT, I NOTICED ANOTHER ONE THAT WEN ACROSS HIS SHOULDER BLADE.
IT WOULD APPEAR REALLY BRIGH RED, AND THEN IT WOULD FADE OUT.
I THINK THAT IT WAS A SPIRI TRYING TO GET HIS ATTENTION.
THAT WAS PROBABLY THE FREAKIES THING I'D EVER SEEN.
WE DECIDED TO MAKE AN APPOINTMEN FOR THE SPOKANE PARANORMAL TEAM TO COME OUT AND SEE WHAT THEY COULD FIND OUT -- IF MAYBE THEY COULD HELP BECAUSE WE WERE HAVING A LO OF LACK OF SLEEP IN THE HOUSE.
Lane: WE RESEARCH CLAIMS OF PARANORMAL ACTIVITY.
OUR GOAL ISN'T TO FIND GHOSTS.
OUR GOAL IS TO LET THE HOUSE OR THE BUSINESS PROVE TO US THAT THERE'S SOMETHING IN THERE.
FROM THE MOMEN I ENTERED THE HOUSE, I COULD FEEL THAT THERE WAS SOMETHING OFF ABOUT THE HOUSE.
I JUST WASN'T SURE YE EXACTLY WHAT IT WAS.
WE WALKED INTO THE BACK BEDROOM.
APRIL SET UP A VOICE RECORDER.
WE WERE SITTING ON THE BED, JUST DOING OUR NOTE-TAKING, AND IT SOUNDED LIKE A SCREAM.
IT SOUNDED LIKE AN OLD MAN OUTSIDE OF THE BEDROOM, RIGHT IN THE HALLWAY, SCREAMED, "APRIL," WHICH IS MY WIFE'S NAME.
SO, WHEN I WAS LISTENING BACK TO THE AUDIO, THERE WAS AN EVP BEHIND THE DISEMBODIED VOICE THAT WE DIDN'T HEAR AT THE TIME.
IT SAID, "I'LL KILL THEM.
" IT WAS KIND OF UNNERVING SINCE THE DISEMBODIED VOICE SAID MY WIFE'S NAME.
THE REACTION, ESPECIALLY FROM APRIL, WAS KIND OF FEARFUL.
SHE WASN'T SURE IF IT WAS DIRECTLY THREATENING HER.
Blake: WHEN I FIRST HEARD THE EVP, I WAS SCARED.
I WAS LIKE, "OKAY, DO WE NEED TO MOVE? 'CAUSE I DON'T WANT SOMETHING WANTING TO KILL US.
" Lane: WE WERE SITTING IN THE LIVING ROOM.
I WAS HOLDING A FULL-SPECTRUM CAMERA.
I PANNED THE CAMERA OVER TO ADAM, SITTING IN THE CHAIR.
I WAS LIKE, "NO [BLEEP.]
WAY!" RIGHT WHEN I LOOKED UP, I SAW A CREAMY WHITE GUY WALK BY.
WE BEELINED I STRAIGHT INTO THAT FRONT BEDROOM WHERE THE GUY WAS WALKING AND TURNED ON THE LIGHT, AND THERE WAS NOTHING.
IT WAS EMPTY.
Blake: THE NEXT DAY, BRAD HAD CALLED ME, AND HE SAID, "TRINA, CAN YOU HAVE TOMMY DRAW A PICTURE OF THE GUY HE SEES?" SO I ASKED TOMMY TO DRAW A PICTURE.
BRAD ENDED UP COMING OVER LATER, AND WHEN HE CAME, HE BROUGHT AN OBITUARY PICTURE OF THE MAN WHO BOUGHT THE HOUSE AFTER IT WAS BUILT.
HE SHOWED US THE PICTURE, AND IT WAS FREAKY HOW MUCH IT RESEMBLED MY SON'S DRAWING.
Lane: SHE SHOWED ME HIS PICTURE.
HOLY CRAP.
IT'S ALMOST IDENTICAL.
HE WAS A TEACHER, AND THEY HAD CHILDREN.
ODDLY ENOUGH, THEY HAD A SON NAMED TOMMY.
THE SPIRITS ARE THERE BECAUSE THAT WAS THEIR HOUSE.
Blake: IN THE OBITUARY, THE GUY HAD DIED ON DECEMBER 23rd, AND OUR FIRST EXPERIENCE WAS, LIKE, AT THE VERY END OF DECEMBER.
I WAS IN SHOCK.
Lane: THE SPIRIT THAT I SAW IN THERE IS DEWAIN EARL GRIER.
THERE IS NO DOUBT ABOUT IT.
Blake: KNOWING THAT BRAD HAS COME AND HE'S SEEN THE SAME THINGS MADE ME FEEL A LITTLE MORE SECURE IN TELLING MY STORY.
IT DEFINITELY MAKES YOU BELIEVE IN THE AFTERLIFE.
Lane: THE APPARITION THAT I SAW, THE EVPs THAT WE'VE GATHERED THINGS THAT OTHER PEOPLE IN THE HOUSE HAVE SEEN THERE IS NO WAY THAT IT'S NOT HAUNTED.
DiBuono: WE SEE SOMETHING AT THE END OF THE ROAD.
Reeder: IT WAS HUGE.
DiBuono: YOU COULD SEE OTHER THINGS COMING OFF IT, AROUND IT, AND IT WAS MOVING ON ITS OWN.
AND RYAN GOES, "IT'S FOLLOWING US OUT.
IT DOESN'T WANT US HERE.
" Reeder: I HAD TO LEAVE IMMEDIATELY.
DiBuono: WE SEE SOMETHING AT THE END OF THE ROAD.
YOU COULD SEE OTHER THINGS COMING OFF IT, AROUND IT, AND IT WAS MOVING ON ITS OWN.
AND RYAN GOES, "IT'S FOLLOWING US OUT.
IT DOESN'T WANT US HERE.
" Reeder: I HAD TO LEAVE IMMEDIATELY.
MY GHOST STORY BEGAN WHEN I VISITED OSWEGO CEMETERY IN OSWEGO, ILLINOIS.
THROUGH ALL THE YEARS THAT I'VE BEEN PRACTICING, OR WORKING, AS A MEDIUM, I'VE ALWAYS FOUND THAT -- WHETHER IT BE CEMETERIES, PLACES OF HISTORY -- I OFTEN ASK MYSELF ABOUT WHAT HAPPENS TO THE PEOPLE WHO ARE LAID TO REST THERE.
DiBuono: I MET RON ABOUT SEVEN, EIGHT YEARS AGO.
OUR SONS PLAYED SPORTS TOGETHER IN OSWEGO.
Reeder: AFTER THE SPORTING EVENTS, HE'D COME OVER BY OUR HOUSE FOR DINNER, AND OUR KIDS WOULD HANG OUT TOGETHER.
AS OUR RELATIONSHIP STARTED GROWING, I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE THE PERFECT TIME TO START SHOWING JON SOME OF THE WORK THAT I DO.
DiBuono: THEN HE JUST TOLD ME OUT OF THE BLUE ONE DAY THAT HE WAS A MEDIUM.
IT DIDN'T BOTHER ME.
YOU KNOW, I JUST TOOK IT, "OH, OKAY, GREAT.
" Reeder: I WAS GOING OU TO CEMETERIES PRIOR TO JON.
I THOUGHT IT'D BE A GREAT EXPERIENCE FOR HIM.
DiBuono: I'M THINKING, "OKAY, I DON'T WANT HIM TO GO BY HIMSELF.
" "I'LL GO WITH YOU.
" SO, WE END UP GOING TO THE CEMETERY, AND RIGHT BEFORE WE WALK IN, RON KIND OF JUST KIND OF STOPPED.
Reeder: I WOULD ALWAYS STOP AT THE GATES, REALLY THINK ABOUT WHY WE'RE HERE, WHY WE'RE GOING IN THERE.
IT'S A PLACE THAT LOVED ONES ARE LAID TO REST, A VERY SPIRITUAL PLACE.
DiBuono: AND HE JUST GATHERED HIMSELF, AND HE SAID THAT HE WAS READY.
Reeder: AND THEN WE PROCEEDED TO WALK INTO OSWEGO CEMETERY.
DiBuono: RIGHT AWAY, BEING WITH RON EARLIER, DOING THIS BEFORE, I WANTED TO SEE ORBS, SO THAT'S WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR.
RON SEEMED TO HAVE A DIFFEREN AGENDA FOR BEING THERE.
HE WOULD SAY CERTAIN THINGS LIKE, "THERE'S CERTAIN PEOPLE THAT ARE HERE," AND HE WOULD HEAR THEM.
BUT HE REALLY WOULDN' COMMUNICATE TO ME WHAT THEY WERE SAYING.
SO, WE WERE THERE FOR A WHILE, AND WE END UP GOING THROUGH THE WHOLE CEMETERY.
AND, AGAIN, I'M LOOKING FOR ORBS.
HE HAS HIS CAMERA WITH HIM.
HE'S ACTUALLY TAKING PICTURES.
AND ON THE WAY OUT, WE'RE COMING DOWN THE MAIN ENTRANCE.
WE SEE SOMETHING AT THE END OF THE ROAD.
Reeder: THERE'S MOVEMENT.
IT'S LIKE MASS STARTING TO BUILD.
I DECIDED, AT THAT PARTICULAR MOMENT, TO TAKE A PICTURE OF THIS THING BECAUSE, LITERALLY, I DO NO KNOW WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN.
DiBuono: IT LOOKED LIKE A CLOUD OR A MIST OF SOME SORT.
IT LOOKED LIKE IT WAS ALIVE.
Reeder: IT'S ALMOST LIKE SPIRITUAL ENERGY.
AND AS I TOOK THE PICTURE, BY HEARING THIS, BY SENSING THIS, YOU KNOW SOMETHING'S GOING ON.
DiBuono: AND IT WAS VERY UNUSUAL, AND I WAS SCARED, BUT I WAS JUST KIND OF MORE AT AWE AT I AND WONDERING, "WHAT IS IT? WHAT'S IT DOING? WHY IS IT THERE?" Reeder: ONE OF THE PHOTOS I TOOK WAS THE MASS OF SPIRIT ENERGY ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE TREE.
WHAT I NOTICED -- IT ALMOS LOOKED LIKE THE SIZE OF A MOON.
IT WASN'T A MOON AT ALL.
IT WAS ACTUALLY A VERY LARGE ORB.
DiBuono: I'VE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT.
AND THEN RON AND I CONTINUED TO WALK OUT THE CEMETERY, AND WE STOPPED ABOUT HALFWAY OUT, MAYBE 30, 40 YARDS FROM THE ENTRANCE.
Reeder: AND ALL OF A SUDDEN, I HEARD WORDS THAT -- THEY WERE SO REAL, AND IT SAID, "I'LL SHOW YOU AN F'ing PICTURE YOU'RE NEVER GONNA FORGET.
" IT'S LIKE THE BLOOD RAN OUT OF MY BODY.
I SAID, "JON, I JUST HEARD THIS.
" AND THEN, WHEN I WEN TO BRING UP MY CAMERA, WITHIN A MOMENT, JUST A SPLIT SECOND, THIS THING WAS ON TOP OF US.
IT JUST LITERALLY CAME UP THE ROAD LIKE A LOCOMOTIVE.
DiBuono: RON TOOK A PICTURE OF IT, AND THE LIGHT FROM THE DIGITAL CAMERA WENT OFF.
IT REALLY GAVE US A GREAT IDEA OF HOW BIG IT REALLY WAS.
Reeder: IT WAS HUGE.
DiBuono: YOU COULD SEE OTHER THINGS COMING OFF IT, AROUND IT, AND IT WAS MOVING ON ITS OWN.
AND RYAN GOES, "IT'S FOLLOWING US OUT.
IT DOESN'T WANT US HERE.
" Reeder: I AM LITERALLY SHAKING.
I DIDN'T KNOW WHERE, AS A PERSON, I STOOD IN LIFE AT THAT VERY MOMENT, SEEING SUCH A MASS OF SPIRIT -- OF ENERGY DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF ME.
I HONESTLY COULDN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE.
I HAD TO LEAVE IMMEDIATELY.
DiBuono: RON RAN OUT, AND I WAS LEFT THERE.
Reeder: AS I'M LOOKING BACK, THINKING, "OH, MY GOD," JON IS STILL THERE, JUST STANDING THERE IN FULL AMAZEMEN OF WHAT'S GOING ON.
DiBuono: EVEN THOUGH IT WAS IN FRONT OF ME AND I WAS AWED BY IT, I STARTED GETTING CONCERNED ABOUT MY FRIEND RON, SO THEN I KIND OF SLOWLY TURNED MY BACK ON IT, STAYED THERE FOR ABOUT 10, 15 SECONDS, AND THEN I WALKED OUT.
I SAW RON KIND OF KEELING OVER, PUTTING HIS HANDS ON HIS LEGS AND KNEES, AND HE WAS, LIKE, OUT OF BREATH FROM RUNNING OUT.
Reeder: AND I SAID, "JON, I GOT THE PICTURE OF THIS THING.
I HAVE IT ON MY CAMERA.
" SO, THEN WE PROCEEDED TO GO BACK TO MY HOUSE AND SEE THE REAL PICTURE THAT WAS TAKEN IN THE CEMETERY.
I COULDN'T BELIEVE WHAT I WAS SEEING.
DiBuono: PEOPLE MIGHT THINK IT'S A FOG OR SOME KIND OF MIS THAT'S ROLLING INTO THE CEMETERY.
Reeder: I KNEW IT WASN'T A FOG.
I KNEW IT WASN'T A MIST.
THIS THING HAD DEPTH.
IT HAD SIZE.
DiBuono: THERE WAS NO WIND THAT NIGHT.
IT WAS CLEAR, AND IT WAS DRY.
Reeder: JON WAS A CHANGED PERSON AS SOON AS HE SAW THAT PHOTO.
DiBuono: I'VE BEEN TO OTHER PLACES WITH RON, OTHER CEMETERIES, AND SEEN SMALL THINGS, LIKE ORBS AND LIGHTS AND THINGS LIKE THAT, BUT I'VE NEVER WITNESSED SOMETHING ON THIS SCALE.
IT WAS SO AMAZING.
IT WAS NOTHING YOU CAN EVER FORGET.
YOU CAN'T FORGET WHAT YOU SAW, AND I DON'T WAN TO EVER SEE IT AGAIN.
AFTER THAT NIGHT, I NEVER WENT BACK.
TWO YEARS AFTER THE INITIAL TIME THAT WE WEN AND SAW THIS SPIRIT, RON TOLD ME THAT HE ENDED UP GOING BACK TO THE CEMETERY AGAIN.
Reeder: WHEN I ARRIVED AT THE FRONT GATE, I HEARD THAT VOICE AGAIN.
"YOU'RE HERE TO TAKE PHOTOS TO EXPLOIT US, TO TELL EVERYBODY ABOUT WHAT HAPPENS HERE.
" AND I SAID, "NO, I AM NOT.
"I'M HERE TO CONNEC WITH THE HISTORY, THE PEOPLE WHO ARE LAID TO REST HERE.
" AND WITH THAT, I TURNED, AND I WALKED 20 FEET AWAY FROM THAT CEMETERY, AND I HEARD THE VOICE AGAIN.
BUT THIS TIME, IT SAID, "RON, WAIT.
" I STOPPED IN MY TRACKS.
HE SAID, "RON, MY NAME IS MICHAEL.
" AT THAT MOMENT, MICHAEL SHOWED ME WHAT HAPPENS TO THE PEOPLE WHO ARE LAID TO REST THERE.
HE SHOWED A COUPLE -- A MALE AND A FEMALE -- JOINING HANDS IN SPIRI AND LITERALLY FLOATING OUT OF THIS PLACE, LEAVING THIS PLACE.
DiBuono: AND IT KIND OF GAVE RON PEACE OF MIND THAT THERE WAS A PURPOSE FOR HIM TO BE THERE, AND MAYBE THIS WAS THE PURPOSE OR THE VALIDATION THAT HE WAS LOOKING FOR.
Reeder: I SAW SOMETHING THAT, ONCE AGAIN, CHANGED MY LIFE AT THIS LOCATION.
AND I JUST HAD TO ASK HIM, "MICHAEL, MAY I TAKE A PICTURE OF YOU?" AND HE SAID, "YES.
HERE I AM.
" I WENT HOME AND LOOKED AT THE PHOTO, AND IT IS TRULY WHAT I SAW IN PERSON, EXACTLY WHAT MICHAEL SHOWED ME.
DiBuono: WHEN RON TOLD ME ABOU MICHAEL, I COULDN'T BELIEVE IT.
SO, HE SHOWED ME A PHOTO.
Reeder: THE MIS REPRESENTS MICHAEL IN SPIRIT, AND THE TWO ORBS, I BELIEVE, REPRESENTS THOSE TWO PEOPLE HOLDING HANDS IN SPIRIT NOW.
DiBuono: WHEN I SAW THAT PHOTO, I WAS TOTALLY AMAZED.
Reeder: I WILL NEVER FORGET THA AS LONG AS I LIVE.
WITNESSING EVERYTHING THAT I HAVE AT OSWEGO CEMETERY, I BELIEVE IT WAS A PAR OF MY LEARNING EXPERIENCE.
MY QUESTION THROUGH MICHAEL WAS ANSWERED.
DiBuono: I ALWAYS BELIEVED THAT THERE WAS LIFE AFTER DEATH, BUT I'VE NEVER EXPERIENCED I OR SEEN IT.
TO ME, TO WITNESS ALL THESE THINGS AND EXPERIENCE THE THINGS WITH RON, IT JUST VALIDATED THAT AFTER WE PASS ON, THERE IS ANOTHER PLACE THAT WE GO.
Jaquay: THERE IS A PHOTOGRAPH OF A WOMAN'S FACE IN THE MIRROR.
Durish: WE MAY HAVE CAPTURED THE SPIRIT.
WE'D CAUGHT A MIS IN THE TOY ROOM.
Jaquay: I WAS ABSOLUTELY TERRIFIED.
Durish: WE MAY HAVE CAPTURED A GHOST.
Jaquay: THERE IS A PHOTOGRAPH OF A WOMAN'S FACE IN THE MIRROR.
I WAS ABSOLUTELY TERRIFIED.
MY GHOST STORY BEGAN WHEN I PURCHASED A HAUNTED ANTIQUE STORE IN CHARLEROI, PENNSYLVANIA.
WE PURCHASED THE STORE FIVE YEARS AGO AND RAN IT AS AN ANTIQUE STORE.
THERE WAS A MAN AND HIS WIFE THAT I SPOKE WITH, AND THEY SAID HIS UNCLE ONCE OWNED THAT PROPERTY, AND IT WAS A FUNERAL HOME.
THE STORE IS COMPRISED OF TWO BUILDINGS -- ONE BEING VERY OLD FROM THE EARLY 1900s.
THE OTHER ONE IS OLD, BUT IT'S KIND OF UPDATED.
AND AS YOU GO BACK INTO THE STORE, THERE'S A BIG TOOL ROOM.
THAT'S THE REALLY OLD PART.
THOSE ARE THE CREEPIEST.
AS YOU STAR TO GO UP THE STAIRS, AS SOON AS YOU GET TO THE TOP, IT'S KIND OF LIKE YOU WALKED INTO ANOTHER DIMENSION.
AND IT'S VERY OLD, LIKE, RUSTIC, AND THERE'S LANTERNS, HUNDREDS OF THEM, HANGING FROM THE CEILING.
THE STORE IS VERY LARGE, AND IT'S FILLED WITH A LO OF ANTIQUE, VINTAGE MEMORABILIA.
WE HAVE EVERYTHING FROM GLASSWARE TO FURNITURE TO JEWELRY -- TONS OF THINGS.
MOST OF THE ACTIVITY THAT HAPPENS IN THIS STORE [ BELL RINGS .]
HAPPENS UPSTAIRS.
THERE WERE SO MANY DIFFEREN THINGS THAT HAPPENED, LIKE WE'D HEAR FURNITURE BEING DRUG ACROSS THE FLOOR UPSTAIRS.
[ CLATTERING .]
HEAR A LITTLE KID RUNNING BACK AND FORTH UP THERE.
[ THUDDING .]
THERE WAS THESE TWO YOUNGER GIRLS THAT COME INTO THE STORE, AND THEY ACTUALLY SAW A LITTLE GIRL UPSTAIRS.
[ CHILD GIGGLING .]
AND I TOLD THEM THERE WAS NO LITTLE GIRL UP THERE.
WELL, THE SISTER DESCRIBED HER.
SHE SAID, "SHE HAS A LONG, WHITE, RUFFLED DRESS, AND SHE HAS A WHITE BOW IN HER HAIR.
" [ CHILD GIGGLING .]
WE BELIEVE THE PICTURE UP ON THE WALL IS THE LITTLE GIRL THAT'S IN THE BUILDING.
[ CHILD GIGGLING .]
I DID SOME HISTORICAL RESEARCH, AND IT SEEMS LIKE THERE WAS A LITTLE BOY THAT WAS HI BY ONE OF THE STREETCARS [ TIRES SCREECHING, THUD .]
AND CARRIED IN THERE AND THAT HE DIED.
I THINK THAT HE'S KIND OF PART OF THE BUILDING, AND THE LITTLE BOY LIKES THE PONY-STABLE ROOM BECAUSE THERE'S A LOT OF BOOKS ON THE SHELF.
THERE'S ACTUALLY A BOOK THAT'S A FIRETRUCK BOOK, AND I'VE FOUND THAT FIRETRUCK BOOK LAYING ON THE FLOOR, OPEN, BEFORE, AFTER ALL THE BOOKS WAS PUT AWAY AND THE PLACE WAS CLOSED.
WE BELIEVE THAT ONE OF THE SPIRITS THAT IS VERY DOMINAN IN THE STORE IS CLARA FRIEDMAN.
CLARA FRIEDMAN WAS AN ACTUAL OWNER.
HER UNCLE SAMUEL FRIEDMAN HAD ORIGINALLY OWNED IT, AND THEN AFTER HE DIED, THE NIECE, WHICH WAS CLARA -- SHE GOT THE STORE.
SHE WAS FROM AUSTRIA.
FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND FROM THE TOWNSPEOPLE, SHE WAS KIND OF A LONER, KEPT TO HERSELF, AND SHE'D SI IN THE FRONT WINDOW AND KIND OF WATCH PEOPLE.
WHEN CLARA HAD DIED IN THE BUILDING, HER BODY WASN'T DISCOVERED FOR THREE WEEKS.
OF ALL THOSE ROOMS UPSTAIRS, HER ROOM IS ALWAYS THE WARMEST.
I FEEL VERY COMFORTABLE IN HER ROOM.
I CAN TELL THE SIDE THAT SHE'S ON BECAUSE IT'LL GET REALLY COLD AND I'LL KIND OF FEEL LIKE NEEDLES GO THROUGH THE SIDE OF THE ARM.
SO, I CAN FEEL WHEN SHE'S AROUND ME.
THERE WAS SO MUCH ACTIVITY, I HAD TO FIND OU WHAT WAS GOING ON, AND I CONTACTED CHRIS DURISH.
Durish: WHEN WE ARRIVED, AFTER THE STORE CLOSED IN THE EVENING, THE FIRST THING WE DID IS WE SET UP OUR CAMERAS AND OUR EQUIPMENT, AND THEN WE BEGAN DOING AN OVERNIGHT INVESTIGATION AT THE LOCATION.
DURING THE COURSE OF THE EVENING, WE HEARD A LO OF DIFFERENT SOUNDS THAT WE COULDN'T EXPLAIN BANGS [ CLANGING .]
CREAKS [ CREAKING .]
SHUFFLING SOUNDS THAT ALMOST SOUNDED LIKE SOMEBODY WALKING ACROSS A WOODEN FLOOR.
[ FOOTSTEPS .]
WHATEVER WE HEARD, IT WASN'T US, AND THERE WAS NOBODY ELSE IN THE BUILDING.
Jaquay: MY SON AND MY DAUGHTER-IN-LAW LIVED IN AN APARTMEN OVER TOP OF THE STORE, AND SHE HEARD SOMEONE WALKING IN THE HALLWAY.
BUT THE MAIN DOOR DOWNSTAIRS -- IT STAYS LOCKED, AND IT WAS LOCKED THAT NIGHT.
SHE ACTUALLY TOOK SOME PICTURES THAT NIGHT.
MY GRANDDAUGHTER WAS BACK ON HER BED, AND THE PICTURE THAT SHE SNAPPED BACK THERE SHOWS A WHITE MIST IN I OVER TOP OF MY GRANDDAUGHTER.
Durish: THERE WAS A PHOTOGRAPH THAT ACTUALLY SHOWS A RATHER LARGE MIST.
IT APPEARS TO BE HOVERING OVER THE LITTLE GIRL.
I'M NOT SURE WHAT THAT MIST IS, BUT IT APPEARS AS IF IT COULD BE SOMETHING PARANORMAL.
IT DIDN'T LOOK LIKE THERE WAS ANYTHING IN THE ROOM THAT WOULD HAVE CAUSED THA NATURALLY.
Jaquay: WAS THERE A REFLECTION? WAS THERE A MIRROR? NO TO ALL OF THEM.
Durish: IF IT'S NOT PARANORMAL, THEN I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS.
LATER THAT NIGHT, ALL OF OUR INVESTIGATORS WERE TOGETHER IN ONE ROOM, AND WE MAY HAVE CAPTURED CLARA FRIEDMAN.
[ CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS .]
Jaquay: THERE IS A PHOTOGRAPH OF A WOMAN'S FACE IN THE MIRROR THAT THE PARANORMAL GROUP HAD CAUGHT.
Durish: IT LOOKS LIKE A NOSE AND A MOUTH, AND YOU CAN SEE PARTIAL EYES.
Jaquay: I WAS ABSOLUTELY TERRIFIED.
Durish: IT'S VERY POSSIBLE THA THAT COULD BE CLARA FRIEDMAN.
Jaquay: CHRIS DURISH HAD A GHOST BOX THERE.
AT ONE POINT, THE VOICE CAME ON AND SAID, "DEMON.
" Durish: YOU COULD CLEARLY HEAR THE WORD "DEMON.
" IT REALLY MAKES YOU THINK, "WHA EXACTLY WERE WE DEALING WITH?" IT SENT A CHILL UP MY SPINE.
LATER THAT NIGHT, WE CAUGHT A MIS ON ONE OF OUR INFRARED CCTV CAMERAS IN THE TOY ROOM, UP IN THE SECOND FLOOR.
IT MOVED VERY QUICKLY ACROSS FROM ONE SIDE OF THE ROOM TO THE OTHER IN A VERY DELIBERATE PATTERN.
IT MOVED VERY QUICKLY AND VERY PURPOSEFULLY ACROSS THE ROOM.
THERE WERE NO DRAFTS OR ANYTHING THAT WOULD HAVE PROPELLED THIS THING ACROSS THE ROOM.
Jaquay: THAT'S WHERE I HAD REPORTS OF THE LITTLE GIRL THAT'S IN THAT ROOM.
PEOPLE HAVE PHYSICALLY SEEN HER IN FORM JUST AS IF SHE WAS A LITTLE HUMAN GIRL.
[ CHILD GIGGLING .]
AND I SEEM TO FEEL THAT WHAT THEY HAD CAPTURED WAS THE MIS OF THAT LITTLE GIRL.
[ CHILD GIGGLING .]
Durish: AFTER TAKING INTO ACCOUN ALL THE PERSONAL EXPERIENCES AND REVIEWING ALL THE EVIDENCE, I WOULD DEFINITELY SAY THAT I WOULD NOT WAN TO SPEND THE NIGHT BY MYSELF IN THE ANTIQUE STORE.
Jaquay: AFTER EVERYTHING THAT'S HAPPENED IN THE STORE AND ALL THE EVIDENCE THAT'S BEEN COMPILED -- THE PICTURE OVER TOP OF MY GRANDDAUGHTER THE EVPs THE MIST ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING -- THERE'S NO ONE THAT CAN CONVINCE ME NOW THAT SPIRITS DO NOT EXIST.
