Help! My House Is Haunted (2018) s06e01 Episode Script
Inherited House of Hell
You are not welcome.
I want you to go.
Help me, help me, please.
Across the UK
Woah.
What the..?
Did you hear that?
Oh my God!
..terrified homeowners
are being plagued by the paranormal.
I can see you.
I am scared to death.
I need to know, am I safe?
Thankfully,
there are three people
What was that?
I've got goosebumps.
No, I'm not going to get out.
Oh my God, Ian, don't leave me.
..who will stop at nothing
Someone's behind me.
Who's here with us?
Ahh!
What the hell was that?
..to return our homes
Can you just take the emotion
away from Jayne, please?
Two spirit forms.
Barri, you're scaring me.
Right next to you.
..back to the land of the living.
This is like
a horror movie, isn't it?
Guys, I'm feeling really anxious
about this investigation.
I think what intrigues me
about this one
is they don't actually live there.
Really?
The people we're helping
have inherited it
and won't live there
unless they can get some help.
So that really makes me question
what the hell is in this house.
In this investigation
What the..?
What the hell was that?
Shit!
..an inherited property
I can't go there
because I am scared to death.
..with no willing residents.
I couldn't live there now.
Oh, I don't like that.
It's high stakes for the team
Oh God, that was like 'get out.'
..as they must overthrow
dark forces
What?
There is a figure.
..to turn an empty house
back into a home.
Ahh!
What?
I just got a feeling that this house
or property, there's more to it.
There's several layers
that's going on
that's making me
feel very uncomfortable.
It's almost like I've got a veil
over me, not letting me see clearly.
I just feel
that there's a darkness to it.
Although Barri and Jayne
have seen case notes,
medium Ian uses only his
psychic senses to guide him.
I feel we could be dealing
with dark characters or dark spirits.
That was negative
in the earth plane.
OK.
Right, so they're
a bad person in life
and they're a bad person in death.
Yeah, yeah.
The team are on their way
to investigate
this 19th century cottage,
which has been inherited
by Lucy and son Ben.
It's coming up to a year
when my father passed
and I thought, by now, it would have
been cleaned out and decorated.
But I can't, I can't go there
because I am scared to death.
I lived there last year
to care for my dad.
During that time, I was aware
that there was something not right
with the house.
The atmosphere
in the cottage is thick.
You feel like a mist envelop you,
it's a feeling where something
is latching onto you,
is up close to you.
One of the most sinister things
that I think happened to me
was when I was at the kitchen table,
and I got coldness at my back.
Now, this isn't like, like a breeze.
It is like cold steel on naked skin.
And it felt like something wanted
to hijack my body and take me over.
My son Ben has also had terrifying
experiences in the property.
Particularly a disembodied voice
that calls your name.
Ben was with my dad and he thought
I'd come round to the house
because he heard me say
Ben!
And so I shouted down
to my granddad.
And I went,
"Oh, Granddad, is Mum here?"
And he shouted up no.
The most recent activity
was last Friday.
As soon as I went up the stairs,
I felt this presence
right behind me.
And I started to kind of climb
the stairs faster than usual,
but this thing was keeping pace.
I turned. And I saw this huge man.
He was as broad as the stairs.
And he was wearing
what I can only describe
as like a Dick Turpin coat
and black boots.
The bottom half was solid,
but the top kind of went like this
into a black mist and went off.
My mum was what I would describe
as a ferocious Christian.
So I feel my mum's passing,
it lifted a level of protection
away from the house.
My dad would regularly say to me,
"It's a creepy old cottage, Luce,"
but he wouldn't elaborate.
And there were these Bible verses
that he'd hand written
and put around the house.
Actually in the rooms
that I feel most threatened in.
And I think he felt it too.
We want our son Ben to be able
to move into the house.
I know that was my
mum and dad's wish
but there's something
not right there.
I couldn't live there now.
I couldn't go to sleep
at night feeling secure.
I couldn't go to sleep full stop.
It would be more
than heartbreaking to sell it.
This is our last resort.
This is it.
Where?
This one here with the green door.
I've just got a sudden wave
of sickness as soon as I saw it.
I don't want to get out the car.
While Barri and Jayne head off
to research further into the case
..Ian's about to discover why
he's so hesitant to step inside.
There's just something
behind this door
that's not wanting me to enter,
because that veil is just
getting thicker and thicker.
It's almost like a fog now.
Oh jeez. Hello?
Wow, I can't let go of my bag.
I'd normally always
put my bag down as I come in.
There's a really heaviness
in this house.
It's not a normal energy.
It feels so wrong.
And I don't know why.
I'm going to do something
that I've never, ever done
on my walk around before.
I'm going to hold this.
I feel, I feel
something's going to kick off
or there's something not right.
To give us any relevant leads,
I'm meeting historian Neil Storey
who's helped us
with countless investigations.
Neil, it's always a pleasure
to meet you and chat to you.
But why on earth
have you brought me here?
Well, this is one
of the key points of Thetford.
Believe it or not,
this is the castle mound.
This goes right back
to the Iron Age,
when there was the original
wooden fort here on its mound.
Then over the years,
they got a castle on top of here,
it's absolutely filled with history
from as far back as the Vikings,
right up to the mediaeval period.
So this is land that has seen
its fair share of death,
presumably, Neil.
Quite a lot of death
around here, actually.
Because you've not just got
a castle, but you've got law.
Now, think of the county asides,
they are county courts,
the big ones for serious cases.
There were roughly 200 offences
for which you could be hanged
by the neck until you be dead.
And if you've been found guilty,
you'd then be carted up to an area
of land
where a number of roads meet.
That's where the gallows were.
Wow. So the guilty would be
taken along that street?
Oh yes.
Our house is there, Neil.
So roughly, where's the house?
If you have a little look
just beyond that tree there.
Yeah.
That's where your property is.
It's very dense and very heavy.
I've got a headache,
I feel sick.
And I'm getting a choking
sensation in my throat.
Why would I have
a tightness around my throat
and a swallowing problem?
What the fuck was that?
Where did that come from?
Hello?
I will lie down
and sleep in peace,
for you alone, O Lord,
make me dwell in safety.
There's either somebody
really religious here
or they're really
reaching out for faith.
What was that?
That was behind me.
Hello?
Who am I talking to, please?
Who's here with me?
I have a Bible.
To get a better understanding
of the case,
I'm meeting Lucy's good friend
of 20 years, Janis.
Have you visited the property?
I have one time,
and that was last year,
she took me to her parents' bedroom.
And then I just felt like something
very cold at the back of me,
and my hair's standing on end
like someone was almost,
I want to say, breathing on me,
but was right behind me.
And, I was kind of started
to do this, and Lucy just said,
"You can sense it, can't you?"
And I'm like, "Yeah."
I was scared,
I couldn't wait to get out.
This room here,
it's not, it's not good.
That's a cross.
Those who wait on the Lord
will renew their strength.
Joshua
What?
I'm not shitting you.
There was somebody behind me then
and just touched my hat.
There's a man here
who's trying to be a gentleman.
But he wasn't,
and his name was John.
But, you know,
this is quite a key place.
You've got some really
important roads.
This is the road
from Norwich to London.
So there were a little bit
of rich pickings around here
for highwaymen.
Really?
One of the most infamous highwaymen
used to ply these roads around here.
His name was Jeremiah Pratt,
but he portrayed himself
as a gentleman of the road.
He was known as John Wilson.
OK.
But the locals called him, Mad Tom.
Mad Tom.
He was violent.
He would stop at nothing.
He would rob anybody
and take anything that he desired.
He was evil. And he was hanged
for his crime in 1746.
Oh my goodness.
He was always very proud that he had
robbed more horses than Dick Turpin.
Really? That's just given me chills.
Lucy says that she has
seen the figure
of a highwayman-like character.
She actually calls him Dick Turpin.
It's a bit worrying to think
that we might be dealing
with the thieving spirit
of a highwayman.
A violent, thieving spirit.
Oh God, I've just seen a shadow.
Why are you here?
Psalm 4.8. There's psalms everywhere
around this house.
There's everything that's indicating
to me that somebody's scared.
There's a lot of fear in this house.
My
I'm having problems breathing.
So Lucy's inherited this
beautiful house from her father.
Yes.
And she's intent on passing
this to her son, Ben.
But in its current state.
Is that even possible?
No. No.
I wouldn't want
my child in there.
I'm sure Lucy's thinking
the same thing about Ben.
And it's been getting much worse,
especially since her father passed.
This whatever's in there
has taken over.
It's not a nice place to be.
And, I wish you
all the best of luck.
I really do, because it's scary.
Why is that door open?
No. There's a cellar.
That means I've gotta go down
in the cellar. Oh, God.
Hello?
This feels dreadful.
This feels awful.
Oh fuck.
Oh fucking hell.
What the fuck was that?
Where did that come from?
It's a Bible.
Fucking hell. That's also an insult.
To Christianity, to our religion.
Lucy and son Ben are so afraid
of being in the property,
I'm driving them over there myself
for our Spirit Trigger session.
It's so weird,
every time I go to the cottage.
Yeah.
Because it feels like
the cottage knows I'm coming.
Yeah. It's almost like
an entity type thing.
You know what I mean?
It's like the house is alive.
I wonder how Ian's getting on.
He's there now.
Yeah, I wonder.
Yeah.
I wonder.
Somebody blew in my ear then.
I've got like a tinnitus sensation.
That's a clairaudience.
That means somebody's
trying to speak to me.
This is like
a horror movie, isn't it?
Hey?
I feel like there's something
threatening there
that could hurt me.
Yeah, you can feel it, can't you?
Yeah.
And when you pull up, it's that.
It's that top window.
It is, yeah.
You know?
It is, it's like someone's
looking at me, yes, Ben. Yes.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, like somebody's
looking out of the window,
waiting for you to
"You're here."
Are you ready for this?
Yeah, let's do this. Yeah.
Let's get in.
Now we've all got a better
understanding of the case,
it's time to get started.
Hi guys.
Heya.
The name of the father,
the son and the Holy Spirit.
We pray, Father, for you to protect
every single person here
this evening.
To give them the love
and the light for protection.
Amen.
Amen.
Why have you done that?
That house is horrific.
Oh my God.
I have not been scared for years,
and that house leaves me petrified.
My Bible is always in my bag
until I finish.
I've walked around
with my Bible in every room.
That's what I have to do.
I've had to hold my Bible
against my chest
'cause I feel like something
wants to take you over.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Wow.
Have you done
what you need to do? Are we safe?
Are we protected?
Yeah, for now.
Alright. Let's go in, shall we?
You alright?
Yeah. Yeah.
Let's make a start.
We begin our Spirit Trigger
session in the kitchen,
where Lucy has felt
taken over by an entity.
What are you feeling?
I feel light headed,
and I know it's trying to affect me.
It's trying to come in to me.
And it needs to back off.
As Lucy is already
sensing something,
we're going to record for EVPs.
EVP recording one, spirit triggers.
I'm speaking to the entity
that dwells in this house.
What are you? Who are you?
Why are you affecting Lucy?
Get off me.
Tell me your name. End recording.
What's that? What's that noise?
What did you hear?
I heard a noise.
My heart is racing.
You're alright.
Play this recording back,
let's see if we got a response.
EVP recording one, spirit triggers.
What was that?
EVP recording one, spirit triggers.
Oh my God.
That's what I could hear.
I could hear it's like
a swirling vortexy type sound.
That's an energy.
I've said that before,
it feels like, like a tornado.
Like it, yeah.
Yeah. Yes.
I'm speaking to the entity
that dwells in this house.
What are you?
Play it again.
Was that leave me alone?
It sounds like it, doesn't it?
Leave me alone in a breath.
Leave me alone.
Very breathy.
Bloomin heck.
Who's on the stairs?
Well, that's his domain.
Yeah.
One second.
Sorry, someone
was just walking on the stairs.
There's absolutely no one there.
OK.
Last week, that thing on the stairs
that looked like Dick Turpin.
And I came face to face
with that thing,
its bottom half stayed solid,
but its top half
kind of went like this
and went off into a mist.
You mentioned Dick Turpin.
What makes you say that?
Well, it was the look.
He was huge, Jayne.
And his coat was black.
And it had that shawl.
I just remember looking at
the shawl piece and big black boots.
Do you know what?
This route was
a route for highwaymen,
so it's a route
through to and from London.
There was a notorious highwayman
here in this area.
This was his stomping ground.
And he was known as Mad Tom.
Mad Tom.
Oh my God.
Now, interestingly,
his real name was Jeremiah Pratt,
but he used the name John Wilson.
Wow.
Because the man that I sensed
in the house gave me an impression
initially that he was quite
well-to-do.
And he said, "My name's John."
He used to masquerade
as a gentleman.
To find out if this is
the infamous Mad Tom,
I'd like to try something.
Why don't we go do
a little experiment?
And I think, Lucy,
you seem to be quite sensitive
and connected to whoever
or whatever this entity is.
OK.
If I could have a Bible with me
cause I don't feel safe here
without holding a Bible.
OK. That's fine. That's alright.
We can do that.
I can give you mine.
Yeah, please. Yeah.
We can do that.
We're going to do
an Estes Experiment.
I'm upstairs with Ben in a room
where he feels
particularly uncomfortable,
where he will call out
and ask questions.
Got the shivers.
Have you?
Yeah.
Ian and Barri will stay downstairs
with Lucy and will listen out
for any responses that come
through the spirit box.
So Lucy you're going to put
these headphones on, OK?
Yep.
What do you want? Why this house?
Why are you here?
Die.
I just come really weird there.
It felt like something was
Like a pressure?
Yeah. I feel it now.
It's really odd.
On my head.
Oh God, that was like get out.
Why are you doing this?
I think it said run.
Get out, run.
It's almost like at the moment,
it's almost like laughter.
Like kind of a
OK.
Like mocking what we're doing.
Mocking, yeah.
It will pop in,
almost like an intrusive thought.
I think it said boy.
Are you angry at faith?
Are you scared of God?
You should leave.
Is that why you tried
to keep mocking and laughing?
That makes no sense.
Ben.
It said my son's name.
OK. Alright, alright.
It's OK. It's alright.
First floor bedroom.
First floor bedroom!
Oh my God, Ian, don't leave me.
No, no, it's alright.
First floor bedroom.
Yeah.
Please don't leave me.
OK, no, I'll stay here.
I'll stay here.
Do you want to go and speak to them,
check that they're alright.
What's going on?
Guys, are you alright?
He's just said first floor bedroom.
I think we should
get Ben out of this room,
so we regroup back downstairs.
The moment that we started
to hear you getting quite agitated,
Lucy, was when Ben started
asking about faith and religion
and questioning spirit about God.
Just as that happened,
you heard the name Ben.
Yeah.
First floor bedroom.
And you also heard,
"You should leave."
Yep.
Oh wow.
So this entity is adverse to faith.
Doesn't want any religion.
To help identify this entity,
Lucy and Ben
are going to try dual scrying.
They will face each other
and see if their features change.
We're using red light.
It relaxes the very small
muscles around the eyes.
So it enables you to see things
that you wouldn't necessarily see
in ordinary light.
Yeah.
Ian and Barri are observing
from the nerve centre.
Oh, he doesn't like me.
Oh, God, he really doesn't like me.
He's going like
What's making you say that?
His face is going like,
like, "You bitch."
OK, are you hearing those words?
No, no, it's the expression
on his face.
OK.
Transfiguration. So she's seeing
another face in the mirror.
So he's got quite prominent
cheekbones, and the beard.
The bearded man.
There you are.
What's your name?
John? OK, John.
Why are you here, John?
It's interesting that this spirit
is impressing
the name John onto Lucy.
That was an alias of Jeremiah Pratt.
Do you know Dick Turpin?
She's challenging him.
If this is Jeremiah, John,
I don't think he likes the fact
that you compare him
to Dick Turpin.
I don't know who you are, but they
made films about Dick Turpin.
Oh, he's snarling at me.
You don't like that, do you, mate?
Someone's behind me. Oh.
Are you OK?
Yep, no, I'm fine, carry on.
Keep talking.
Oh, oh, I don't like that.
Was there somebody there?
No.
Is somebody in there?
No.
Somebody's leaned round.
Nobody's in there?
No.
Um, I can see something
near the cellar.
Go in. I'll wait here.
Something leaned around that door.
Something's touched you. Yeah.
Yes. My hair.
Right here.
I know. Yep.
Ian, it's kicking off.
I've just literally felt like
someone walked right up to me.
Right behind me.
OK.
This bearded man who likes
to call himself John
is extremely hostile,
but we still need to validate
that it is Jeremiah Pratt.
Here we come, John.
We've come to the front bedroom
for one final ITC session.
Is there a spirit in this house
by the name of John?
Me.
Are you Mad Tom?
Tom.
If this is Mad Tom,
let's see if he's against religion?
I will lay down and sleep
in peace for you alone, O Lord,
make me dwell in safety.
How does that make you feel?
Laugh.
Yeah, I thought he said laugh.
Laugh.
Did I see you on the stairs?
Did you chase me up the stairs?
Yes. What do you want
with this family?
That said loft.
Loft?
What's in the loft?
I thought it said evil.
Evil entities
often hide in dark spaces.
Listen, I think we have
got loads to do tonight.
We've got loads of great evidence,
thanks to you guys,
to suggest that we are indeed
dealing with Jeremiah Pratt.
Notorious highwayman. Mad Tom.
We've still got several
avenues to investigate.
And I do think that there's
references to this loft space.
We'll need to have a look.
Yeah. Yep.
Alright, well,
you're free to leave us now.
You'll be pleased to know.
Thank you both.
No, thank you.
After a very unsettling
spirit triggers,
Lucy and Ben leave us for the night.
To ensure we capture
any paranormal activity
during the investigation,
the crew are placing cameras
across the entire property,
which will be constantly monitored
in our Nerve Centre.
Listen, the crew are setting
up the remaining cameras, OK?
One is the cellar area
cause you've experienced something
down there as well, didn't you?
Yeah.
I just have this overwhelming
feeling that somebody was down there
with Adrian and I
when I was doing the walkaround.
I'm going to put another camera
on the stairs and another camera
that I've set up
in that front room area as well.
Let's get started
on this investigation.
Barri to nerve centre, over.
Go for now.
Please can you turn
all the cameras to infrared?
Copy that.
We're going to begin
in the kitchen,
an area that's already proven
to be very active.
Shall we try necrophonic?
Ian, do you want to start
calling out on this one?
I'm calling out to Jeremiah.
Pratt, I thought that said Pratt
at the end there.
Pratt, did it say Pratt?
Literally as we just started.
Yeah.
John, when I was walking
around this house on my own
..you said it's John. Are you here?
What?
You've got to play that back.
You said it's John. Are you here?
That says it's Pratt.
Pratt. It does.
It's definitely Pratt.
Definitely Pratt.
Jesus. Jeremy Pratt.
What do you want to tell us?
Necklace.
I'm wearing a cross.
Do you know what this necklace is?
A silver sixpence.
Silver would be incredibly
appealing to a highwayman.
It would.
Do you want to steal my necklace?
Yes.
Yes. It's a silver coin.
That said hide.
Yeah.
Where are you hiding?
Cellar.
Yeah, cellar.
Ask it to come up.
Follow. That said follow.
I'm going to go and investigate.
Tom?
Did that say Tom?
That just mimicked you.
It did.
And they've had mimicking
in this house.
Mad Tom. Barri's now down
in the cellar with you.
What would you like to say to Barri?
Leave.
Mad Tom. Show yourself to me.
You said you were hiding
in the cellar.
Get out.
Get out.
Be careful, Baz,
it just said get out.
Guys, I can hear
whispering down here.
Is that you, Tom?
Get out. That was really aggressive.
Barri, he's saying get out again.
What do you want with this family?
In the name of the father,
and the son and the Holy Spirit.
What?
Woah.
What was that?
I don't know, but there was
a voice after you said Holy Spirit.
What the fuck?
What the hell was that?
Shit!
Jesus, what?
Fucking hell.
Something just went ahhh.
Our director and sound recordist
just witnessed
Direct Voice Phenomena.
That'll be on your recorder.
Ahh!
But before we have
a chance to play it back,
the cellar hatch closes by itself.
OK, just stay calm.
Oh shit.
That's extremely heavy and stiff.
That is a seriously aggressive act.
Let's play this last bit back.
(GASPS)
That's Lucy's voice.
It really is.
That's so creepy.
That's twice we've heard mimicking,
and it's something Ben and Lucy
have also both experienced.
Now would a human spirit do that?
So is this just an evil man
who's got this ability
to mimic voices,
or is it something else?
Inhuman entity.
My intuition, based on
what we've already received,
tells me that Mad Tom is here.
Hmm.
We have had validation.
We have had that.
But there may well be
other spirits here.
There may well be
inhuman entities here.
Mh-mm.
From researching this case,
I know there were
triple gallows nearby,
but there's also something else
that may be of significance.
I've been having a look
into the criminal justice system
in the area here.
And this is a copy of all
of the criminals' different crimes
over a certain period of time,
the early 1800s.
So the time when Mad Tom
was prolific in the area.
Yeah.
A lot of these people who were
dishing out the punishments,
they were reverends.
So I wonder if is that the cause
of the aversion
to religion here
in the house?
It could be.
Yeah. Yeah.
Because her mum
was very religious, wasn't she?
It makes sense.
Of course, for anything,
either a demonic entity
or a highly negative human spirit.
Well, what's one of
the ultimate prizes for them?
It's the soul, isn't it,
of the faithful, of the devoted,
of people of faith.
They want to break that faith down.
So has Jeremiah Pratt AKA Mad Tom
got a grudge against religion?
And who or what else
is haunting this house?
Let's run the spirit box.
You ask the questions.
Ian, do you want to start?
We've come upstairs
to investigate further.
I'm calling to anybody
in this house.
Hung.
Hung.
Holy fuck.
What?
Someone just pulled my,
my chain on my neck.
Don't forget, downstairs,
we heard someone say necklace.
Barri to nerve centre, over.
Go for now.
Can you just check the fixed rig
camera that's behind me, please?
Copy that. Checking now.
Seriously, that was weird.
OK.
It, you know what it felt like,
you know when it drops,
I could feel that, like this.
Yeah, yeah, of course.
Nerve centre to Barri.
Nerve centre.
Receiving over.
We've reviewed the footage
and we can see your necklace move.
No.
The footage shows something
clearly pulling at my necklace.
We need to find out who that was.
Who tried to steal the necklace?
What? It wasn't me.
Can you tell me your name?
Nice and clear.
Peter.
Peter.
Peter?
Yeah.
So there are
other human spirits here.
I wonder if Peter
also fell victim to the gallows?
Where you hung? Were you executed?
Were you accused
of being a criminal?
Did it say bad men?
Hmm.
Are there non-human
entities here as well?
Where are they?
Did that say in the loft?
Oh God. It did say in the loft.
It did say in the loft.
Let's play this last bit back.
There's imps.
There's imps.
And I said where, look.
Where are they?
In the loft.
In the loft.
In the loft.
Yep.
Imps are low level mischievous
entities who feed off negativity.
Can you pass me the SLS camera?
Mh-mm.
They also hide in dark places,
so I'm going to try and detect one
using the structured
light sensor camera.
If there are any Imps here,
come forward and show yourself.
I'm not afraid of you.
Do you want me to go into this
small bedroom and say prayer?
Yeah, try that.
Yeah?
Our father, who art in heaven.
I can hear a little bit of rustling.
There was definitely
something there in the shadows.
And forgive those
that trespass against us.
(GASPS)
What?
Well, there is a figure, but it's
floating in the beams above me.
This is too small to be human,
it does look like an imp.
Soon as Ian started praying,
it appeared on screen.
Oh.
What?
There was a voice behind me,
like a husky voice.
Like a human voice?
Yeah.
Right, OK.
There's a voice down here
with Ian in the bedroom.
I'm going to come down.
I'm experiencing Clairaudience.
Spirit is trying to talk to me.
You take this ITC device,
which will hopefully announce
the words that you are hearing.
Mh-mm.
Ian's going to tune
into this spirit
while Jayne and I
observe from the nerve centre.
Get out is quite repetitive.
There's heavy breathing.
I feel really nervous.
He looks, you know what
he looks like, he looks on edge.
You know, like he's out of sorts.
Mmm.
Peter.
Didn't we have Peter?
We had Peter.
We did.
Ian, we had Peter earlier.
Maybe he could channel Peter
and get some more information.
Peter's showing
this image of him being hanged.
Difference.
OK. What's the difference?
Peter's showing me
this image of
..working for a gang.
Could be an accomplice.
Ian, do you think
this may be Mad Tom's gang?
I do think it was Mad Tom's gang.
Hmm.
I don't think Peter
is a negative spirit
as he warned us earlier
about the imps.
Peter, are you the one
trying to help us?
Are you wanting forgiveness?
I think Peter is remorseful,
and that's why
he's trying to help us.
We regroup for one final
echovox session in the kitchen.
Peter, how did you
become trapped in here?
Oh my God. Imps.
That said imps.
I heard imps.
Yeah, so did I.
So did their murderous
or robbing or thieving activity
imprint this land
with such negativity
that the imps were drawn here?
Yeah.
And once the imps were here,
it almost meant that Peter
and Tom couldn't leave.
Yeah 100%.
Help us.
Help us.
Yeah.
They're trapped.
Are you trapped in the darkness now?
I think that Peter
does want salvation.
He does.
But how do you think
we best tackle this now, then?
Do we need to remove any Imps,
any low level entities first?
Yeah, I think you're right.
In the name of the father,
the son and the Holy Spirit.
Amen.
Working from the top down,
Ian is banishing
the imps with prayer.
As you follow me
with the shadow of love and light,
as the darkness fades
I'm cleansing with sage.
And Barri's bringing harmony
to the house with pure tone.
This is using frequency tone 417.
Dispelling any negativity.
All that is left
is to light a candle
and pass Peter and Mad Tom over.
Peter, can you hear my voice?
It's now time
to leave this earthly plane
and go into your spirit realm.
In the distance,
you'll see a light.
That light is there for you.
To guide you into your next life.
Mad Tom,
you've battled with us all evening.
You have to go into the light.
You cannot stay here.
You're not welcome.
You've got free will to go.
Or you'll be forced.
You need to go
through that light now.
The power of Jesus Christ
will force you through
into that light.
God bless you.
The name of the father, the son,
and the Holy Spirit. Amen.
The next morning,
we meet Lucy and Ben
in their own home
to reveal our evidence.
Good morning.
Morning.
Morning, how are you?
I'm good, thanks. How are you guys?
We're really, really good.
Now, we did have
an interesting evening
in the house that you inherited.
OK.
Good.
OK.
Well as you know, of course,
you joined us initially both,
didn't you, for our
spirit trigger session.
Yes.
And of course,
we knew you'd seen a figure, Lucy,
that you described actually
as a Dick Turpin like character,
didn't you?
Because of how he was dressed.
Yeah. Yeah. Yep.
And I'd found out from Neil,
a historian,
that actually there was
a prolific highwayman in the area
and he went by the name John Wilson.
That was an alias.
But he also went
by the name Mad Tom.
That was a name
that local people gave to him.
His real name, of course,
was Jeremiah Pratt.
Now if we were in any doubt as to
who we were communicating with,
we got the right answer.
Are you Mad Tom?
Did that say Tom?
It says Tom.
Yep. Yep.
How clear was that?
Yeah, really clear.
So after you left us,
we carried out
another ITC experiment.
Yeah.
But again, we got further validation
that we were communicating
with Jeremiah Pratt.
Right.
I'm calling out to Jeremiah.
Did that say, Pratt? Yeah.
Yes.
So we now wanted to really know
where was the spirit in the house?
Yeah.
Where was he hiding?
And I didn't expect him to,
but he told us.
Where are you hiding?
So this response says cellar.
Yeah.
Now, I went down to investigate
if Tom was lurking down there.
You mentioned mimicking,
hearing familiar voices.
I'm going to play this for you.
There, of course,
is our producer, Ben.
Yeah. Yeah.
Sound guy Owen.
Just happily sitting here,
listening in
to everything that's happening.
And they heard something,
OK.
This is called
a direct voice phenomena.
What?
What the fuck?
I'm going to play it again for you.
I heard you go, "Ben."
Ben.
Oh my God, I can really
hear that clearly.
Ben. Oh no.
Oh my goodness.
That is really, really scary.
Following on from that amazing DVP
that was heard by the crew,
We moved up to the landing
and stairs area of the property.
Well, you won't believe this.
This is incredible.
Watch my chain.
(GASPS)
Oh no, come on.
It moves. He goes for it.
Wow.
Yeah.
Can I ask the question,
have you ever
lost any items of jewellery,
small items or necklaces
in that property?
All the time.
Do you?
All the time
things would be missing.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Wow.
After that,
we carried out a spirit box session.
I want to play you the first one.
Is it Peter?
It is.
Well done,
you're better at this than me.
Who is Peter?
Now, we had a hunch,
but we didn't know for sure.
But we thought maybe Mad Tom,
Jeremiah Pratt, had an accomplice.
Now, what is absolutely mind blowing
is, this morning,
I was going back through
the research
and I found an article.
And in 1741,
there was a Peter Latten
who was executed
for horse stealing in the area.
And it's highly likely that he was
an accomplice of Mad Tom.
That's incredible.
Whilst Jane was doing
that extra bit of research,
I went back through the audio files,
and I was absolutely astonished
that we captured this.
Just tell us your name.
Peter Lattern.
Lattern.
Wow.
Yeah. Yeah.
So during the spirit box session
in the upstairs front bedroom,
we also received
two quite disturbing responses.
Here's the first one.
You'll hear it. Two words.
I hear there's imp.
An imp
is a low level negative entity,
and sometimes, they can be
quite violent and malicious.
So that mimicking
that you've experienced in the house
and also the mimicking
that we recorded
as direct voice phenomena,
I believe wasn't Jeremiah
and it wasn't Peter.
These were the imps.
Wow.
And believe it or not,
they're attracted to places
of worship,
places that are surrounded
and protected by love and light.
Why?
Because it's their
greatest achievement
to destroy something
that's good and holy.
Wow.
And actually,
throughout the evening,
that became a running theme for us.
There was definitely an undercurrent
of disrespect
or anger against God
or against faith.
So without wanting to scare you,
we think probably
your faith has played a part
in the presence of darker forces.
Wow.
That's mind blowing, isn't it?
Mmm.
So we knew that we were dealing
with the notorious highwayman
Mad Tom, his accomplice,
Peter Lattern,
and also at least one Imp.
No wonder it felt so dark.
Yeah.
So at the end of the evening,
we knew that the first thing
that needed to happen was that
any Imps present were banished.
Yeah.
So I started upstairs doing
a prayer around your property.
And as I was working my way down,
I was filling your house
with faith and the power
of Jesus Christ.
Yeah, I love that.
So we sat at the table.
I said a prayer for Peter,
and I asked him to go through.
And then it came to Mad Tom,
but he wouldn't go.
I struggled with him.
So in the end, I asked for Jesus
and the power and the light,
and they semi-circled him,
and they pushed him through.
Thank you so much.
So we'll leave you shortly.
What we would like you to do
is actually visit the property
for yourselves to experience
the lighter feel of the place.
You up for that?
I would love that, yeah, thank you.
Alright, let's do that.
Yeah. That would be great.
Lucy and Ben used to describe
the atmosphere in the cottage
as thick and oppressive,
and were terrified
of being spiritually taken over.
They're now about to see
if their dream
of keeping this house
in the family can be a reality.
Here we go.
Oh my God.
It does feel so much lighter.
I can't believe it.
The difference it makes
is unbelievable.
It's just like a normal house.
It is like a normal home.
My home now.
Your home. I should give you those.
Look, you should hang on to them.
Seriously?
You're home, you hang onto that.
I know, look, see.
Shall we go upstairs?
Yeah, let's do it.
It's got the best bits
of Nan and Grandad
without all of the other evil,
heavy, horrible oppressiveness,
hasn't it?
Yeah. 100%.
Oh my God, this is amazing.
Thank you, team.
Yeah.
Aww. I love you son.
I love you.
It's been
an incredible investigation.
Absolutely amazing evidence.
It was.
Yeah, that house scared me though.
I really hope
they can enjoy the place now.
But who knows
what the next case will bring?
Captioned by AI-Media
ai-media.tv
I want you to go.
Help me, help me, please.
Across the UK
Woah.
What the..?
Did you hear that?
Oh my God!
..terrified homeowners
are being plagued by the paranormal.
I can see you.
I am scared to death.
I need to know, am I safe?
Thankfully,
there are three people
What was that?
I've got goosebumps.
No, I'm not going to get out.
Oh my God, Ian, don't leave me.
..who will stop at nothing
Someone's behind me.
Who's here with us?
Ahh!
What the hell was that?
..to return our homes
Can you just take the emotion
away from Jayne, please?
Two spirit forms.
Barri, you're scaring me.
Right next to you.
..back to the land of the living.
This is like
a horror movie, isn't it?
Guys, I'm feeling really anxious
about this investigation.
I think what intrigues me
about this one
is they don't actually live there.
Really?
The people we're helping
have inherited it
and won't live there
unless they can get some help.
So that really makes me question
what the hell is in this house.
In this investigation
What the..?
What the hell was that?
Shit!
..an inherited property
I can't go there
because I am scared to death.
..with no willing residents.
I couldn't live there now.
Oh, I don't like that.
It's high stakes for the team
Oh God, that was like 'get out.'
..as they must overthrow
dark forces
What?
There is a figure.
..to turn an empty house
back into a home.
Ahh!
What?
I just got a feeling that this house
or property, there's more to it.
There's several layers
that's going on
that's making me
feel very uncomfortable.
It's almost like I've got a veil
over me, not letting me see clearly.
I just feel
that there's a darkness to it.
Although Barri and Jayne
have seen case notes,
medium Ian uses only his
psychic senses to guide him.
I feel we could be dealing
with dark characters or dark spirits.
That was negative
in the earth plane.
OK.
Right, so they're
a bad person in life
and they're a bad person in death.
Yeah, yeah.
The team are on their way
to investigate
this 19th century cottage,
which has been inherited
by Lucy and son Ben.
It's coming up to a year
when my father passed
and I thought, by now, it would have
been cleaned out and decorated.
But I can't, I can't go there
because I am scared to death.
I lived there last year
to care for my dad.
During that time, I was aware
that there was something not right
with the house.
The atmosphere
in the cottage is thick.
You feel like a mist envelop you,
it's a feeling where something
is latching onto you,
is up close to you.
One of the most sinister things
that I think happened to me
was when I was at the kitchen table,
and I got coldness at my back.
Now, this isn't like, like a breeze.
It is like cold steel on naked skin.
And it felt like something wanted
to hijack my body and take me over.
My son Ben has also had terrifying
experiences in the property.
Particularly a disembodied voice
that calls your name.
Ben was with my dad and he thought
I'd come round to the house
because he heard me say
Ben!
And so I shouted down
to my granddad.
And I went,
"Oh, Granddad, is Mum here?"
And he shouted up no.
The most recent activity
was last Friday.
As soon as I went up the stairs,
I felt this presence
right behind me.
And I started to kind of climb
the stairs faster than usual,
but this thing was keeping pace.
I turned. And I saw this huge man.
He was as broad as the stairs.
And he was wearing
what I can only describe
as like a Dick Turpin coat
and black boots.
The bottom half was solid,
but the top kind of went like this
into a black mist and went off.
My mum was what I would describe
as a ferocious Christian.
So I feel my mum's passing,
it lifted a level of protection
away from the house.
My dad would regularly say to me,
"It's a creepy old cottage, Luce,"
but he wouldn't elaborate.
And there were these Bible verses
that he'd hand written
and put around the house.
Actually in the rooms
that I feel most threatened in.
And I think he felt it too.
We want our son Ben to be able
to move into the house.
I know that was my
mum and dad's wish
but there's something
not right there.
I couldn't live there now.
I couldn't go to sleep
at night feeling secure.
I couldn't go to sleep full stop.
It would be more
than heartbreaking to sell it.
This is our last resort.
This is it.
Where?
This one here with the green door.
I've just got a sudden wave
of sickness as soon as I saw it.
I don't want to get out the car.
While Barri and Jayne head off
to research further into the case
..Ian's about to discover why
he's so hesitant to step inside.
There's just something
behind this door
that's not wanting me to enter,
because that veil is just
getting thicker and thicker.
It's almost like a fog now.
Oh jeez. Hello?
Wow, I can't let go of my bag.
I'd normally always
put my bag down as I come in.
There's a really heaviness
in this house.
It's not a normal energy.
It feels so wrong.
And I don't know why.
I'm going to do something
that I've never, ever done
on my walk around before.
I'm going to hold this.
I feel, I feel
something's going to kick off
or there's something not right.
To give us any relevant leads,
I'm meeting historian Neil Storey
who's helped us
with countless investigations.
Neil, it's always a pleasure
to meet you and chat to you.
But why on earth
have you brought me here?
Well, this is one
of the key points of Thetford.
Believe it or not,
this is the castle mound.
This goes right back
to the Iron Age,
when there was the original
wooden fort here on its mound.
Then over the years,
they got a castle on top of here,
it's absolutely filled with history
from as far back as the Vikings,
right up to the mediaeval period.
So this is land that has seen
its fair share of death,
presumably, Neil.
Quite a lot of death
around here, actually.
Because you've not just got
a castle, but you've got law.
Now, think of the county asides,
they are county courts,
the big ones for serious cases.
There were roughly 200 offences
for which you could be hanged
by the neck until you be dead.
And if you've been found guilty,
you'd then be carted up to an area
of land
where a number of roads meet.
That's where the gallows were.
Wow. So the guilty would be
taken along that street?
Oh yes.
Our house is there, Neil.
So roughly, where's the house?
If you have a little look
just beyond that tree there.
Yeah.
That's where your property is.
It's very dense and very heavy.
I've got a headache,
I feel sick.
And I'm getting a choking
sensation in my throat.
Why would I have
a tightness around my throat
and a swallowing problem?
What the fuck was that?
Where did that come from?
Hello?
I will lie down
and sleep in peace,
for you alone, O Lord,
make me dwell in safety.
There's either somebody
really religious here
or they're really
reaching out for faith.
What was that?
That was behind me.
Hello?
Who am I talking to, please?
Who's here with me?
I have a Bible.
To get a better understanding
of the case,
I'm meeting Lucy's good friend
of 20 years, Janis.
Have you visited the property?
I have one time,
and that was last year,
she took me to her parents' bedroom.
And then I just felt like something
very cold at the back of me,
and my hair's standing on end
like someone was almost,
I want to say, breathing on me,
but was right behind me.
And, I was kind of started
to do this, and Lucy just said,
"You can sense it, can't you?"
And I'm like, "Yeah."
I was scared,
I couldn't wait to get out.
This room here,
it's not, it's not good.
That's a cross.
Those who wait on the Lord
will renew their strength.
Joshua
What?
I'm not shitting you.
There was somebody behind me then
and just touched my hat.
There's a man here
who's trying to be a gentleman.
But he wasn't,
and his name was John.
But, you know,
this is quite a key place.
You've got some really
important roads.
This is the road
from Norwich to London.
So there were a little bit
of rich pickings around here
for highwaymen.
Really?
One of the most infamous highwaymen
used to ply these roads around here.
His name was Jeremiah Pratt,
but he portrayed himself
as a gentleman of the road.
He was known as John Wilson.
OK.
But the locals called him, Mad Tom.
Mad Tom.
He was violent.
He would stop at nothing.
He would rob anybody
and take anything that he desired.
He was evil. And he was hanged
for his crime in 1746.
Oh my goodness.
He was always very proud that he had
robbed more horses than Dick Turpin.
Really? That's just given me chills.
Lucy says that she has
seen the figure
of a highwayman-like character.
She actually calls him Dick Turpin.
It's a bit worrying to think
that we might be dealing
with the thieving spirit
of a highwayman.
A violent, thieving spirit.
Oh God, I've just seen a shadow.
Why are you here?
Psalm 4.8. There's psalms everywhere
around this house.
There's everything that's indicating
to me that somebody's scared.
There's a lot of fear in this house.
My
I'm having problems breathing.
So Lucy's inherited this
beautiful house from her father.
Yes.
And she's intent on passing
this to her son, Ben.
But in its current state.
Is that even possible?
No. No.
I wouldn't want
my child in there.
I'm sure Lucy's thinking
the same thing about Ben.
And it's been getting much worse,
especially since her father passed.
This whatever's in there
has taken over.
It's not a nice place to be.
And, I wish you
all the best of luck.
I really do, because it's scary.
Why is that door open?
No. There's a cellar.
That means I've gotta go down
in the cellar. Oh, God.
Hello?
This feels dreadful.
This feels awful.
Oh fuck.
Oh fucking hell.
What the fuck was that?
Where did that come from?
It's a Bible.
Fucking hell. That's also an insult.
To Christianity, to our religion.
Lucy and son Ben are so afraid
of being in the property,
I'm driving them over there myself
for our Spirit Trigger session.
It's so weird,
every time I go to the cottage.
Yeah.
Because it feels like
the cottage knows I'm coming.
Yeah. It's almost like
an entity type thing.
You know what I mean?
It's like the house is alive.
I wonder how Ian's getting on.
He's there now.
Yeah, I wonder.
Yeah.
I wonder.
Somebody blew in my ear then.
I've got like a tinnitus sensation.
That's a clairaudience.
That means somebody's
trying to speak to me.
This is like
a horror movie, isn't it?
Hey?
I feel like there's something
threatening there
that could hurt me.
Yeah, you can feel it, can't you?
Yeah.
And when you pull up, it's that.
It's that top window.
It is, yeah.
You know?
It is, it's like someone's
looking at me, yes, Ben. Yes.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, like somebody's
looking out of the window,
waiting for you to
"You're here."
Are you ready for this?
Yeah, let's do this. Yeah.
Let's get in.
Now we've all got a better
understanding of the case,
it's time to get started.
Hi guys.
Heya.
The name of the father,
the son and the Holy Spirit.
We pray, Father, for you to protect
every single person here
this evening.
To give them the love
and the light for protection.
Amen.
Amen.
Why have you done that?
That house is horrific.
Oh my God.
I have not been scared for years,
and that house leaves me petrified.
My Bible is always in my bag
until I finish.
I've walked around
with my Bible in every room.
That's what I have to do.
I've had to hold my Bible
against my chest
'cause I feel like something
wants to take you over.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Wow.
Have you done
what you need to do? Are we safe?
Are we protected?
Yeah, for now.
Alright. Let's go in, shall we?
You alright?
Yeah. Yeah.
Let's make a start.
We begin our Spirit Trigger
session in the kitchen,
where Lucy has felt
taken over by an entity.
What are you feeling?
I feel light headed,
and I know it's trying to affect me.
It's trying to come in to me.
And it needs to back off.
As Lucy is already
sensing something,
we're going to record for EVPs.
EVP recording one, spirit triggers.
I'm speaking to the entity
that dwells in this house.
What are you? Who are you?
Why are you affecting Lucy?
Get off me.
Tell me your name. End recording.
What's that? What's that noise?
What did you hear?
I heard a noise.
My heart is racing.
You're alright.
Play this recording back,
let's see if we got a response.
EVP recording one, spirit triggers.
What was that?
EVP recording one, spirit triggers.
Oh my God.
That's what I could hear.
I could hear it's like
a swirling vortexy type sound.
That's an energy.
I've said that before,
it feels like, like a tornado.
Like it, yeah.
Yeah. Yes.
I'm speaking to the entity
that dwells in this house.
What are you?
Play it again.
Was that leave me alone?
It sounds like it, doesn't it?
Leave me alone in a breath.
Leave me alone.
Very breathy.
Bloomin heck.
Who's on the stairs?
Well, that's his domain.
Yeah.
One second.
Sorry, someone
was just walking on the stairs.
There's absolutely no one there.
OK.
Last week, that thing on the stairs
that looked like Dick Turpin.
And I came face to face
with that thing,
its bottom half stayed solid,
but its top half
kind of went like this
and went off into a mist.
You mentioned Dick Turpin.
What makes you say that?
Well, it was the look.
He was huge, Jayne.
And his coat was black.
And it had that shawl.
I just remember looking at
the shawl piece and big black boots.
Do you know what?
This route was
a route for highwaymen,
so it's a route
through to and from London.
There was a notorious highwayman
here in this area.
This was his stomping ground.
And he was known as Mad Tom.
Mad Tom.
Oh my God.
Now, interestingly,
his real name was Jeremiah Pratt,
but he used the name John Wilson.
Wow.
Because the man that I sensed
in the house gave me an impression
initially that he was quite
well-to-do.
And he said, "My name's John."
He used to masquerade
as a gentleman.
To find out if this is
the infamous Mad Tom,
I'd like to try something.
Why don't we go do
a little experiment?
And I think, Lucy,
you seem to be quite sensitive
and connected to whoever
or whatever this entity is.
OK.
If I could have a Bible with me
cause I don't feel safe here
without holding a Bible.
OK. That's fine. That's alright.
We can do that.
I can give you mine.
Yeah, please. Yeah.
We can do that.
We're going to do
an Estes Experiment.
I'm upstairs with Ben in a room
where he feels
particularly uncomfortable,
where he will call out
and ask questions.
Got the shivers.
Have you?
Yeah.
Ian and Barri will stay downstairs
with Lucy and will listen out
for any responses that come
through the spirit box.
So Lucy you're going to put
these headphones on, OK?
Yep.
What do you want? Why this house?
Why are you here?
Die.
I just come really weird there.
It felt like something was
Like a pressure?
Yeah. I feel it now.
It's really odd.
On my head.
Oh God, that was like get out.
Why are you doing this?
I think it said run.
Get out, run.
It's almost like at the moment,
it's almost like laughter.
Like kind of a
OK.
Like mocking what we're doing.
Mocking, yeah.
It will pop in,
almost like an intrusive thought.
I think it said boy.
Are you angry at faith?
Are you scared of God?
You should leave.
Is that why you tried
to keep mocking and laughing?
That makes no sense.
Ben.
It said my son's name.
OK. Alright, alright.
It's OK. It's alright.
First floor bedroom.
First floor bedroom!
Oh my God, Ian, don't leave me.
No, no, it's alright.
First floor bedroom.
Yeah.
Please don't leave me.
OK, no, I'll stay here.
I'll stay here.
Do you want to go and speak to them,
check that they're alright.
What's going on?
Guys, are you alright?
He's just said first floor bedroom.
I think we should
get Ben out of this room,
so we regroup back downstairs.
The moment that we started
to hear you getting quite agitated,
Lucy, was when Ben started
asking about faith and religion
and questioning spirit about God.
Just as that happened,
you heard the name Ben.
Yeah.
First floor bedroom.
And you also heard,
"You should leave."
Yep.
Oh wow.
So this entity is adverse to faith.
Doesn't want any religion.
To help identify this entity,
Lucy and Ben
are going to try dual scrying.
They will face each other
and see if their features change.
We're using red light.
It relaxes the very small
muscles around the eyes.
So it enables you to see things
that you wouldn't necessarily see
in ordinary light.
Yeah.
Ian and Barri are observing
from the nerve centre.
Oh, he doesn't like me.
Oh, God, he really doesn't like me.
He's going like
What's making you say that?
His face is going like,
like, "You bitch."
OK, are you hearing those words?
No, no, it's the expression
on his face.
OK.
Transfiguration. So she's seeing
another face in the mirror.
So he's got quite prominent
cheekbones, and the beard.
The bearded man.
There you are.
What's your name?
John? OK, John.
Why are you here, John?
It's interesting that this spirit
is impressing
the name John onto Lucy.
That was an alias of Jeremiah Pratt.
Do you know Dick Turpin?
She's challenging him.
If this is Jeremiah, John,
I don't think he likes the fact
that you compare him
to Dick Turpin.
I don't know who you are, but they
made films about Dick Turpin.
Oh, he's snarling at me.
You don't like that, do you, mate?
Someone's behind me. Oh.
Are you OK?
Yep, no, I'm fine, carry on.
Keep talking.
Oh, oh, I don't like that.
Was there somebody there?
No.
Is somebody in there?
No.
Somebody's leaned round.
Nobody's in there?
No.
Um, I can see something
near the cellar.
Go in. I'll wait here.
Something leaned around that door.
Something's touched you. Yeah.
Yes. My hair.
Right here.
I know. Yep.
Ian, it's kicking off.
I've just literally felt like
someone walked right up to me.
Right behind me.
OK.
This bearded man who likes
to call himself John
is extremely hostile,
but we still need to validate
that it is Jeremiah Pratt.
Here we come, John.
We've come to the front bedroom
for one final ITC session.
Is there a spirit in this house
by the name of John?
Me.
Are you Mad Tom?
Tom.
If this is Mad Tom,
let's see if he's against religion?
I will lay down and sleep
in peace for you alone, O Lord,
make me dwell in safety.
How does that make you feel?
Laugh.
Yeah, I thought he said laugh.
Laugh.
Did I see you on the stairs?
Did you chase me up the stairs?
Yes. What do you want
with this family?
That said loft.
Loft?
What's in the loft?
I thought it said evil.
Evil entities
often hide in dark spaces.
Listen, I think we have
got loads to do tonight.
We've got loads of great evidence,
thanks to you guys,
to suggest that we are indeed
dealing with Jeremiah Pratt.
Notorious highwayman. Mad Tom.
We've still got several
avenues to investigate.
And I do think that there's
references to this loft space.
We'll need to have a look.
Yeah. Yep.
Alright, well,
you're free to leave us now.
You'll be pleased to know.
Thank you both.
No, thank you.
After a very unsettling
spirit triggers,
Lucy and Ben leave us for the night.
To ensure we capture
any paranormal activity
during the investigation,
the crew are placing cameras
across the entire property,
which will be constantly monitored
in our Nerve Centre.
Listen, the crew are setting
up the remaining cameras, OK?
One is the cellar area
cause you've experienced something
down there as well, didn't you?
Yeah.
I just have this overwhelming
feeling that somebody was down there
with Adrian and I
when I was doing the walkaround.
I'm going to put another camera
on the stairs and another camera
that I've set up
in that front room area as well.
Let's get started
on this investigation.
Barri to nerve centre, over.
Go for now.
Please can you turn
all the cameras to infrared?
Copy that.
We're going to begin
in the kitchen,
an area that's already proven
to be very active.
Shall we try necrophonic?
Ian, do you want to start
calling out on this one?
I'm calling out to Jeremiah.
Pratt, I thought that said Pratt
at the end there.
Pratt, did it say Pratt?
Literally as we just started.
Yeah.
John, when I was walking
around this house on my own
..you said it's John. Are you here?
What?
You've got to play that back.
You said it's John. Are you here?
That says it's Pratt.
Pratt. It does.
It's definitely Pratt.
Definitely Pratt.
Jesus. Jeremy Pratt.
What do you want to tell us?
Necklace.
I'm wearing a cross.
Do you know what this necklace is?
A silver sixpence.
Silver would be incredibly
appealing to a highwayman.
It would.
Do you want to steal my necklace?
Yes.
Yes. It's a silver coin.
That said hide.
Yeah.
Where are you hiding?
Cellar.
Yeah, cellar.
Ask it to come up.
Follow. That said follow.
I'm going to go and investigate.
Tom?
Did that say Tom?
That just mimicked you.
It did.
And they've had mimicking
in this house.
Mad Tom. Barri's now down
in the cellar with you.
What would you like to say to Barri?
Leave.
Mad Tom. Show yourself to me.
You said you were hiding
in the cellar.
Get out.
Get out.
Be careful, Baz,
it just said get out.
Guys, I can hear
whispering down here.
Is that you, Tom?
Get out. That was really aggressive.
Barri, he's saying get out again.
What do you want with this family?
In the name of the father,
and the son and the Holy Spirit.
What?
Woah.
What was that?
I don't know, but there was
a voice after you said Holy Spirit.
What the fuck?
What the hell was that?
Shit!
Jesus, what?
Fucking hell.
Something just went ahhh.
Our director and sound recordist
just witnessed
Direct Voice Phenomena.
That'll be on your recorder.
Ahh!
But before we have
a chance to play it back,
the cellar hatch closes by itself.
OK, just stay calm.
Oh shit.
That's extremely heavy and stiff.
That is a seriously aggressive act.
Let's play this last bit back.
(GASPS)
That's Lucy's voice.
It really is.
That's so creepy.
That's twice we've heard mimicking,
and it's something Ben and Lucy
have also both experienced.
Now would a human spirit do that?
So is this just an evil man
who's got this ability
to mimic voices,
or is it something else?
Inhuman entity.
My intuition, based on
what we've already received,
tells me that Mad Tom is here.
Hmm.
We have had validation.
We have had that.
But there may well be
other spirits here.
There may well be
inhuman entities here.
Mh-mm.
From researching this case,
I know there were
triple gallows nearby,
but there's also something else
that may be of significance.
I've been having a look
into the criminal justice system
in the area here.
And this is a copy of all
of the criminals' different crimes
over a certain period of time,
the early 1800s.
So the time when Mad Tom
was prolific in the area.
Yeah.
A lot of these people who were
dishing out the punishments,
they were reverends.
So I wonder if is that the cause
of the aversion
to religion here
in the house?
It could be.
Yeah. Yeah.
Because her mum
was very religious, wasn't she?
It makes sense.
Of course, for anything,
either a demonic entity
or a highly negative human spirit.
Well, what's one of
the ultimate prizes for them?
It's the soul, isn't it,
of the faithful, of the devoted,
of people of faith.
They want to break that faith down.
So has Jeremiah Pratt AKA Mad Tom
got a grudge against religion?
And who or what else
is haunting this house?
Let's run the spirit box.
You ask the questions.
Ian, do you want to start?
We've come upstairs
to investigate further.
I'm calling to anybody
in this house.
Hung.
Hung.
Holy fuck.
What?
Someone just pulled my,
my chain on my neck.
Don't forget, downstairs,
we heard someone say necklace.
Barri to nerve centre, over.
Go for now.
Can you just check the fixed rig
camera that's behind me, please?
Copy that. Checking now.
Seriously, that was weird.
OK.
It, you know what it felt like,
you know when it drops,
I could feel that, like this.
Yeah, yeah, of course.
Nerve centre to Barri.
Nerve centre.
Receiving over.
We've reviewed the footage
and we can see your necklace move.
No.
The footage shows something
clearly pulling at my necklace.
We need to find out who that was.
Who tried to steal the necklace?
What? It wasn't me.
Can you tell me your name?
Nice and clear.
Peter.
Peter.
Peter?
Yeah.
So there are
other human spirits here.
I wonder if Peter
also fell victim to the gallows?
Where you hung? Were you executed?
Were you accused
of being a criminal?
Did it say bad men?
Hmm.
Are there non-human
entities here as well?
Where are they?
Did that say in the loft?
Oh God. It did say in the loft.
It did say in the loft.
Let's play this last bit back.
There's imps.
There's imps.
And I said where, look.
Where are they?
In the loft.
In the loft.
In the loft.
Yep.
Imps are low level mischievous
entities who feed off negativity.
Can you pass me the SLS camera?
Mh-mm.
They also hide in dark places,
so I'm going to try and detect one
using the structured
light sensor camera.
If there are any Imps here,
come forward and show yourself.
I'm not afraid of you.
Do you want me to go into this
small bedroom and say prayer?
Yeah, try that.
Yeah?
Our father, who art in heaven.
I can hear a little bit of rustling.
There was definitely
something there in the shadows.
And forgive those
that trespass against us.
(GASPS)
What?
Well, there is a figure, but it's
floating in the beams above me.
This is too small to be human,
it does look like an imp.
Soon as Ian started praying,
it appeared on screen.
Oh.
What?
There was a voice behind me,
like a husky voice.
Like a human voice?
Yeah.
Right, OK.
There's a voice down here
with Ian in the bedroom.
I'm going to come down.
I'm experiencing Clairaudience.
Spirit is trying to talk to me.
You take this ITC device,
which will hopefully announce
the words that you are hearing.
Mh-mm.
Ian's going to tune
into this spirit
while Jayne and I
observe from the nerve centre.
Get out is quite repetitive.
There's heavy breathing.
I feel really nervous.
He looks, you know what
he looks like, he looks on edge.
You know, like he's out of sorts.
Mmm.
Peter.
Didn't we have Peter?
We had Peter.
We did.
Ian, we had Peter earlier.
Maybe he could channel Peter
and get some more information.
Peter's showing
this image of him being hanged.
Difference.
OK. What's the difference?
Peter's showing me
this image of
..working for a gang.
Could be an accomplice.
Ian, do you think
this may be Mad Tom's gang?
I do think it was Mad Tom's gang.
Hmm.
I don't think Peter
is a negative spirit
as he warned us earlier
about the imps.
Peter, are you the one
trying to help us?
Are you wanting forgiveness?
I think Peter is remorseful,
and that's why
he's trying to help us.
We regroup for one final
echovox session in the kitchen.
Peter, how did you
become trapped in here?
Oh my God. Imps.
That said imps.
I heard imps.
Yeah, so did I.
So did their murderous
or robbing or thieving activity
imprint this land
with such negativity
that the imps were drawn here?
Yeah.
And once the imps were here,
it almost meant that Peter
and Tom couldn't leave.
Yeah 100%.
Help us.
Help us.
Yeah.
They're trapped.
Are you trapped in the darkness now?
I think that Peter
does want salvation.
He does.
But how do you think
we best tackle this now, then?
Do we need to remove any Imps,
any low level entities first?
Yeah, I think you're right.
In the name of the father,
the son and the Holy Spirit.
Amen.
Working from the top down,
Ian is banishing
the imps with prayer.
As you follow me
with the shadow of love and light,
as the darkness fades
I'm cleansing with sage.
And Barri's bringing harmony
to the house with pure tone.
This is using frequency tone 417.
Dispelling any negativity.
All that is left
is to light a candle
and pass Peter and Mad Tom over.
Peter, can you hear my voice?
It's now time
to leave this earthly plane
and go into your spirit realm.
In the distance,
you'll see a light.
That light is there for you.
To guide you into your next life.
Mad Tom,
you've battled with us all evening.
You have to go into the light.
You cannot stay here.
You're not welcome.
You've got free will to go.
Or you'll be forced.
You need to go
through that light now.
The power of Jesus Christ
will force you through
into that light.
God bless you.
The name of the father, the son,
and the Holy Spirit. Amen.
The next morning,
we meet Lucy and Ben
in their own home
to reveal our evidence.
Good morning.
Morning.
Morning, how are you?
I'm good, thanks. How are you guys?
We're really, really good.
Now, we did have
an interesting evening
in the house that you inherited.
OK.
Good.
OK.
Well as you know, of course,
you joined us initially both,
didn't you, for our
spirit trigger session.
Yes.
And of course,
we knew you'd seen a figure, Lucy,
that you described actually
as a Dick Turpin like character,
didn't you?
Because of how he was dressed.
Yeah. Yeah. Yep.
And I'd found out from Neil,
a historian,
that actually there was
a prolific highwayman in the area
and he went by the name John Wilson.
That was an alias.
But he also went
by the name Mad Tom.
That was a name
that local people gave to him.
His real name, of course,
was Jeremiah Pratt.
Now if we were in any doubt as to
who we were communicating with,
we got the right answer.
Are you Mad Tom?
Did that say Tom?
It says Tom.
Yep. Yep.
How clear was that?
Yeah, really clear.
So after you left us,
we carried out
another ITC experiment.
Yeah.
But again, we got further validation
that we were communicating
with Jeremiah Pratt.
Right.
I'm calling out to Jeremiah.
Did that say, Pratt? Yeah.
Yes.
So we now wanted to really know
where was the spirit in the house?
Yeah.
Where was he hiding?
And I didn't expect him to,
but he told us.
Where are you hiding?
So this response says cellar.
Yeah.
Now, I went down to investigate
if Tom was lurking down there.
You mentioned mimicking,
hearing familiar voices.
I'm going to play this for you.
There, of course,
is our producer, Ben.
Yeah. Yeah.
Sound guy Owen.
Just happily sitting here,
listening in
to everything that's happening.
And they heard something,
OK.
This is called
a direct voice phenomena.
What?
What the fuck?
I'm going to play it again for you.
I heard you go, "Ben."
Ben.
Oh my God, I can really
hear that clearly.
Ben. Oh no.
Oh my goodness.
That is really, really scary.
Following on from that amazing DVP
that was heard by the crew,
We moved up to the landing
and stairs area of the property.
Well, you won't believe this.
This is incredible.
Watch my chain.
(GASPS)
Oh no, come on.
It moves. He goes for it.
Wow.
Yeah.
Can I ask the question,
have you ever
lost any items of jewellery,
small items or necklaces
in that property?
All the time.
Do you?
All the time
things would be missing.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Wow.
After that,
we carried out a spirit box session.
I want to play you the first one.
Is it Peter?
It is.
Well done,
you're better at this than me.
Who is Peter?
Now, we had a hunch,
but we didn't know for sure.
But we thought maybe Mad Tom,
Jeremiah Pratt, had an accomplice.
Now, what is absolutely mind blowing
is, this morning,
I was going back through
the research
and I found an article.
And in 1741,
there was a Peter Latten
who was executed
for horse stealing in the area.
And it's highly likely that he was
an accomplice of Mad Tom.
That's incredible.
Whilst Jane was doing
that extra bit of research,
I went back through the audio files,
and I was absolutely astonished
that we captured this.
Just tell us your name.
Peter Lattern.
Lattern.
Wow.
Yeah. Yeah.
So during the spirit box session
in the upstairs front bedroom,
we also received
two quite disturbing responses.
Here's the first one.
You'll hear it. Two words.
I hear there's imp.
An imp
is a low level negative entity,
and sometimes, they can be
quite violent and malicious.
So that mimicking
that you've experienced in the house
and also the mimicking
that we recorded
as direct voice phenomena,
I believe wasn't Jeremiah
and it wasn't Peter.
These were the imps.
Wow.
And believe it or not,
they're attracted to places
of worship,
places that are surrounded
and protected by love and light.
Why?
Because it's their
greatest achievement
to destroy something
that's good and holy.
Wow.
And actually,
throughout the evening,
that became a running theme for us.
There was definitely an undercurrent
of disrespect
or anger against God
or against faith.
So without wanting to scare you,
we think probably
your faith has played a part
in the presence of darker forces.
Wow.
That's mind blowing, isn't it?
Mmm.
So we knew that we were dealing
with the notorious highwayman
Mad Tom, his accomplice,
Peter Lattern,
and also at least one Imp.
No wonder it felt so dark.
Yeah.
So at the end of the evening,
we knew that the first thing
that needed to happen was that
any Imps present were banished.
Yeah.
So I started upstairs doing
a prayer around your property.
And as I was working my way down,
I was filling your house
with faith and the power
of Jesus Christ.
Yeah, I love that.
So we sat at the table.
I said a prayer for Peter,
and I asked him to go through.
And then it came to Mad Tom,
but he wouldn't go.
I struggled with him.
So in the end, I asked for Jesus
and the power and the light,
and they semi-circled him,
and they pushed him through.
Thank you so much.
So we'll leave you shortly.
What we would like you to do
is actually visit the property
for yourselves to experience
the lighter feel of the place.
You up for that?
I would love that, yeah, thank you.
Alright, let's do that.
Yeah. That would be great.
Lucy and Ben used to describe
the atmosphere in the cottage
as thick and oppressive,
and were terrified
of being spiritually taken over.
They're now about to see
if their dream
of keeping this house
in the family can be a reality.
Here we go.
Oh my God.
It does feel so much lighter.
I can't believe it.
The difference it makes
is unbelievable.
It's just like a normal house.
It is like a normal home.
My home now.
Your home. I should give you those.
Look, you should hang on to them.
Seriously?
You're home, you hang onto that.
I know, look, see.
Shall we go upstairs?
Yeah, let's do it.
It's got the best bits
of Nan and Grandad
without all of the other evil,
heavy, horrible oppressiveness,
hasn't it?
Yeah. 100%.
Oh my God, this is amazing.
Thank you, team.
Yeah.
Aww. I love you son.
I love you.
It's been
an incredible investigation.
Absolutely amazing evidence.
It was.
Yeah, that house scared me though.
I really hope
they can enjoy the place now.
But who knows
what the next case will bring?
