My Ghost Story (2010) s06e01 Episode Script

Mallet: WE HEARD A HORRIFIC, BLOOD-CURDLING SCREAM LIKE SOMEONE WAS BEING MURDERED.
Brown: I FELT LIKE MY LIFE WAS IN DANGER.
Mallet: THERE WAS SOMEONE DEFINITELY IN THAT ROOM.
Meyer: I GOT QUITE A FRIGH BECAUSE THERE WAS CLEARLY NOBODY IN FRONT OF US.
Powell: I SAW WHA APPEARED TO BE A HAND COME OVER HIS SHOULDER.
IT ACTUALLY LOOKED LIKE A HANGING MAN.
Judy: YOU CANNOT BE OUT IN THE YARD WITHOUT SOMEONE SAYING, "YOU DO KNOW THIS PLACE IS HAUNTED, RIGHT?" I FELT SOMEONE PUT A HAND ON MY SHOULDER.
I ALMOST PEED MY PANTS.
Christensen: WE START SEEING ORBS GOING BACK AND FORTH ACROSS THE CEILING.
Wheeler: SOMETHING WAS STARTING TO MANIFEST ITSELF.
THEY KNOW THAT WE'RE HERE AND WATCHING US.
Yeckering: I NOTICED A LARGE ORB COME UP OVER MY BACK AND DIVE DOWN INTO THE ROCKING CHAIR.
AND THE WAY IT WAS MOVING, AS IF IT HAD A MIND OF ITS OWN.
YOU ARE NOT ALONE IN OCTAGON HOUSE.
AN ORB COMES STRAIGHT DOWN IN FRONT OF ME.
IT WAS TRYING TO MANIFES INTO A FULL-BODY APPARITION.
I KNEW WE WEREN'T ALONE.
Yeckering: MY GHOST STORY BEGAN WHEN I VISITED THE OCTAGON HALL IN FRANKLIN, KENTUCKY.
I'M A DEPUTY BY DAY AND A PARANORMAL RESEARCHER BY NIGHT.
BUT I TAKE A VERY SCIENTIFIC AND SKEPTICAL APPROACH.
I'M ALWAYS TRYING TO DEBUNK THINGS.
THE OCTAGON HALL IS A VERY HISTORIC HOME.
IT'S VERY ODDLY SHAPED.
IT WAS BUILT IN 1847 BY ANDREW JACKSON CALDWELL.
THE HOME WAS FINALLY FINISHED IN 1859, JUST BEFORE THE CIVIL WAR.
ANDREW CALDWELL WAS A CONFEDERATE SYMPATHIZER, SO ANY CONFEDERATE SOLDIERS KNEW THAT THEY COULD COME TO HIS HOME IF THEY NEEDED FOOD, REST, OR TO BE MENDED.
STEVE WAS A CITY POLICEMAN AT THE TIME, AND WE MET.
AND ONE DAY, WE JUST HAPPENED TO BE TALKING ABOUT PARANORMAL ACTIVITY.
STEVE, LIKEWISE, HAD AS DEEP AN INTEREST IN I AS I DID.
Assmann: THE OCTAGON HALL HAS A HISTORY OF TRAGEDY.
MR.
CALDWELL HAD A DAUGHTER NAMED MARY ELIZABETH.
AND SHE WAS IN THE BASEMENT KITCHEN, AND SHE, APPARENTLY, GOT TOO CLOSE TO THE FIREPLACE AND CAUGHT HER DRESS ON FIRE [ FIRE CRACKLING .]
AND PASSED AWAY A FEW DAYS LATER.
Yeckering: ANOTHER TRAGEDY THAT WE KNOW OF THAT OCCURRED IN THE HOME WAS A CONFEDERATE SERGEAN WAS WOUNDED.
[ GUNSHOTS .]
HE WENT TO THE CALDWELLS' HOME.
THEY AMPUTATED HIS LEG.
[ MAN SCREAMS .]
BUT BECAUSE THE UNION ARMY WAS RIGHT BEHIND HIM, THEY PUT HIM UP IN THE ATTIC TO HIDE HIM.
[ BANGING .]
THREE DAYS LATER, WHEN THE UNION ARMY LEFT, THEY WENT UP TO CHECK ON HIM, AND HE WAS DEAD.
HE WAS BURIED IN THE BACKYARD, AND THE ATTIC BOARDED UP.
[ BANGING CONTINUES .]
WHEN THE OCTAGON HALL WAS REOPENED, THE ATTIC WAS FINALLY UNBOARDED.
IN THE ATTIC WAS FOUND A CONFEDERATE BOO WITH A LEG BONE AND A FOOT BONE IN IT.
Assmann: WHEN JEFF AND I ARRIVE AT THE OCTAGON HALL, WE IMMEDIATELY BEGAN TO SET UP OUR EQUIPMENT.
Yeckering: THEN WE WENT OUT TO THE BACK.
WE STARTED IN THE CEMETERIES TO SEE IF WE COULD GE ANY EVIDENCE.
Assmann: WE APPROACHED THE SOLDIERS' CEMETERY, AND WHEN WE ARRIVED THERE, JEFF HAD ASKED IF THERE WERE ANY SOLDIERS PRESENT.
[ DRUMROLL .]
AND THE GHOST BOX IMMEDIATELY GAVE A RESPONSE OF "TWO.
" I KNEW THAT HAD TO BE A SPIRI BECAUSE WE'RE STANDING IN FRON OF TWO CONFEDERATE GRAVES.
Yeckering: AFTER WE HEARD THE RESPONSE "TWO," I IMMEDIATELY STARTED FLOODING THE AREA WITH PHOTOGRAPHS.
[ CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKING .]
ONE OF THE PHOTOS SHOWS TWO ORBS DIRECTLY ABOVE THE CONFEDERATE GRAVES.
I BELIEVE THAT THESE ORBS WERE THE RESIDUAL ENERGY FROM THESE DEAD SOLDIERS.
Assmann: THE FACT THA THESE ORBS WERE GLOWING MADE ME BELIEVE THAT IT WAS PARANORMAL.
THAT'S WHEN WE DECIDED TO HEAD INSIDE.
Yeckering: WE SET UP ALL THE CAMERAS, AND THEY WERE FEEDING INTO A VERY LARGE TV SCREEN IN THE DINING ROOM.
I WAS WATCHING THE CAMERA IN THE SICKROOM, AND I COULDN'T BELIEVE WHAT I WAS SEEING.
Assmann: THE SICKROOM IS WHERE THE WOUNDED SOLDIERS WERE TREATED BY THE CALDWELL FAMILY.
Yeckering: AS I'M WATCHING THE MONITOR, I SAW A VERY LARGE ORB GRAVITATE OUT OF THE CARPE AND COME STRAIGHT UP TO ONE OF THE CAMERAS.
Assmann: THE ORB THAT CAME UP OUT OF THE FLOOR AND CAME TO THE CAMERA LOOKED LIKE IT WAS COMING TO THE CAMERA TO INVESTIGATE WHAT THE CAMERA WAS.
IT SEEMS TO BE AN INTELLIGENT ACTION.
Yeckering: IT IS SO BRIGH AND BRILLIANT AND CLEAR.
THERE IS NO MISTAKING THAT IS ENERGY.
I FEEL THAT IT MAY HAVE BEEN ONE OF THE CONFEDERATE SOLDIERS THAT DIED IN THAT ROOM.
LATER THAT NIGHT, WE HAD SET UP ANOTHER CAMERA IN MARY ELIZABETH'S ROOM.
WHILE I'M IN THE ROOM, I'M TRYING TO CAPTURE MARY ELIZABETH'S ENERGY.
I'M USING A VOICE RECORDER.
I'M ALSO USING AN EMF METER.
LATER, WHEN WE WERE REVIEWING THE FOOTAGE, I NOTICED A LARGE ORB COME UP OVER MY BACK AND DIVE DOWN INTO THE ROCKING CHAIR.
WHAT MADE THAT FOOTAGE SO GREA IS THAT ORB WAS SO BRIGH AND THE WAY IT WAS MOVING, AS IF IT HAD A MIND OF ITS OWN.
Assmann: WHEN I SAW THE ORB, I BELIEVED THAT IT WAS A SPIRIT OF SOME SORT.
WHETHER IT BE MARY ELIZABETH, SOME OF THE SOLDIERS THAT HAD PASSED AWAY THERE, I HAVE NO IDEA, BUT I DO BELIEVE THAT IT WAS PARANORMAL.
Yeckering: MOMENTS LATER, IN THAT VERY SAME PIECE OF FOOTAGE, FOR SOME REASON, I WAS COMPELLED TO LOOK UP.
WHEN I LOOKED UP, AN ORB COME STRAIGHT DOWN IN FRONT OF ME.
IT LOOKS LIKE ON THE VIDEO THAT I WAS SEEING THE ORB, BUT THERE WAS NO WAY I COULD SEE THE ORB BECAUSE IT WAS IN INFRARED.
HOWEVER, I MUST HAVE SENSED I OR FELT IT.
AFTER WATCHING THAT FOOTAGE, I KNEW WE WEREN'T ALONE.
AFTER THE EXPERIENCE IN MARY ELIZABETH'S ROOM, I KNEW I JUST HAD TO GET BACK DOWNSTAIRS AND SEE WHAT WAS GOING ON IN THE MONITOR SCREEN.
WHILE WATCHING THE MONITORS IN THE GREENROOM, I SAW THIS ANOMALY IN THE WINDOW, AND I THOUGHT, "HOLY [BLEEP.]
WHAT IS THIS?" THIS ANOMALY STARTED OUT AS AN ORB.
THEN IT BECAME A MIST.
THEN THERE WAS THE ELECTRICAL PARANORMAL DISCHARGE.
THERE IS NO WAY IT COULD HAVE BEEN ANYTHING ELSE BECAUSE THERE'S A DENSE WOODS RIGHT BEHIND THAT, AND THERE'S NO WAY A CAR LIGH COULD HAVE AFFECTED THAT.
LOOKED LIKE IT WAS TRYING TO OUTLINE THE UPPER TORSO OF A MAN.
BUT THAT WASN'T POSSIBLE BECAUSE THAT WAS A SECOND-STORY WINDOW.
NOBODY COULD STAND OUTSIDE THAT WINDOW.
THE ORB WAS TRYING TO MANIFES INTO A FULL-BODY APPARITION.
IT WAS THA CONVERGENCE OF ENERGY THAT CAUSED THAT ELECTRICAL PARANORMAL DISCHARGE.
Assmann: AT THE VERY CONCLUSION OF THAT PARTICULAR SECTION OF TAPE, THERE'S A BRIGHT FLASH IN THE WINDOW, AND THEN IT'S GONE.
Yeckering: THE BRIGHT FLASH AT THE END OF THE VIDEO WAS THIS APPARITION'S FINAL CHANCE TO BECOME AN APPARITION, BUT IT DID NO HAVE ENOUGH ENERGY.
Assmann: AFTER OBSERVING THE EVENT, WE DECIDED TO GO UPSTAIRS TO THE GREENROOM AND SEE IF WE COULD OBTAIN SOME EVPs.
Yeckering: I ASKED IF THERE WAS A WOMAN IN THE ROOM.
LATER ON, WE DISCOVERED THE VOICE OF A YOUNG WOMAN SAYING, "WHY CAN'T YOU SEE US IN HERE?" WHEN I HEARD THE EVP, IT SENT A CHILL FROM THE TOP OF MY HEAD ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE BOTTOM OF MY SPINE.
Assmann: I WAS JUST BLOWN AWAY 'CAUSE WE ACTUALLY CAUGH SOMETHING THAT WAS VERY AUDIBLE, VERY UNDERSTANDABLE.
IT'S AS CLEAR AS I'M SPEAKING NOW.
IT'S JUST AMAZING.
I BELIEVE, FROM THE EVIDENCE THAT I'VE SEEN, THE EVIDENCE THAT I'VE HEARD THAT THE OCTAGON HALL IS HAUNTED.
Yeckering: I BELIEVE THA THE OCTAGON HALL IS HAUNTED BY SEVERAL SPIRITS SOME CONFEDERATE SOLDIERS WHO DIED THERE ALSO MARY ELIZABETH.
I FULLY BELIEVE SHE'S HAUNTING OCTAGON HALL.
THERE IS NO QUESTION -- YOU ARE NOT ALONE IN OCTAGON HALL.
Mallet: ALL OF A SUDDEN, WE HEARD A HORRIFIC SCREAM.
[ FEMALE SCREAMS .]
IT TERRIFIED ME.
Brown: I COULDN'T TELL WHAT IT WAS.
I WAS TOTALLY SHOCKED.
Mallet: THERE'S SOMETHING HERE.
Powell: MAITLAND GAOL IS ONE OF THE MOST HAUNTED PLACES.
Meyer: RIGHT IN FRONT OF US WAS THIS MOAN.
[ MOANING .]
MY HEART ACTUALLY SKIPPED A BEAT.
Mallet: ALL OF A SUDDEN, WE HEARD A HORRIFIC, BLOOD-CURDLING SCREAM.
[ FEMALE SCREAMS .]
IT TERRIFIED ME.
Brown: I COULDN'T TELL WHA IT WAS.
I WAS TOTALLY SHOCKED.
Mallet: THERE'S SOMETHING HERE.
MY GHOST STORY BEGAN AT FORT MIFFLIN IN PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA.
AT FORT MIFFLIN, THEY FOUGHT MANY WARS.
WILLIAM H.
HOWE WAS HUNG FOR TREASON, FOR DESERTION, AND THE MURDER OF MANY SOLDIERS IN 1864.
MRS.
PRAT WAS A WELL-KNOWN WOMAN, BASICALLY THE ONLY WOMAN AT THE FORT, WHO DID MANY THINGS FOR THE SOLDIERS -- COOKED MEALS FOR THEM, DID THEIR LAUNDRY, AND TOOK CARE OF THE INJURED SOLDIERS THERE.
SHE HAD A CHILD WHO DIED OF TYPHOID FEVER.
SHE WAS SO DISTRAUGH OVER THE DEATH OF HER DAUGHTER, SHE HUNG HERSELF.
MANY PEOPLE WHO HAVE VISITED THE FOR HAVE HEARD THE ANGUISHED, HORRIFYING SCREAM OF MRS.
PRATT.
UPON ENTERING THE FORT, YOU HAVE THE OFFICER'S QUARTERS, YOU HAVE THE HOSPITAL, AND THE GENERAL'S QUARTERS, WHERE MRS.
PRATT STAYED.
WE CALL IT MRS.
PRATT'S ROOM.
JOSEPH IS MY SON.
WE'VE BEEN DOING INVESTIGATIONS EVER SINCE 2005 TOGETHER.
Brown: DENISE IS MY MOTHER.
SHE'S AN EXPERT AT WHAT SHE DOES ON HER ACTIVITIES WITH THE PARANORMAL.
Mallet: WE WERE WALKING AROUND TAKING PICTURES AT THE FORT.
SO, WE WALK BEHIND THE GENERAL'S QUARTERS, AND I SNAPPED A PICTURE, AND I LOOKED AT IT.
I WAS LIKE, "WOW.
" IT'S A RED-LIGHT ANOMALY.
Brown: WHEN I SAW THE PICTURE, I FELT DISTURBED.
Mallet: RED-LIGHT ANOMALIES ARE AFFILIATED WITH THE DECEASED.
NEXT, WE WALKED NEAR THE OFFICER'S QUARTERS.
SO, I SAID, "HEY, JOE, I'M PICKING UP A VIBE OVER HERE.
" NOW, JOE HAD A PIECE OF EQUIPMENT IN HIS HAND.
IT'S THE ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELD DETECTOR.
SO, HE WAVED I IN FRONT OF THE WINDOW, AND HE SAID, "MOM, THERE'S SOMETHING HERE.
" I SNAPPED A PICTURE, AND I ZOOMED IN.
THE PICTURE WAS SO CREEPY, 'CAUSE ALL YOU SAW WAS THE EYE AND A NOSE.
AND I WAS LIKE, "WOW! IT'S LOOKING STRAIGHT AT US.
" JOE MOVED AWAY FROM THE WINDOW, AND I SNAPPED ANOTHER PICTURE.
I WAS IN SHOCK.
IT LOOKS TO ME AS SOMETHING NOT OF THIS WORLD.
I'M SUSPECTING THAT MIGHT BE BILLY HOWE BECAUSE I PICKED UP AN EVIL VIBE -- SOMETHING BAD, DANGEROUS.
Brown: WHEN I SAW THE PICTURE, I WAS SCARED.
I FELT LIKE MY LIFE WAS IN DANGER 'CAUSE I'M NOT SURE WHAT SPIRITS CAN DO.
Mallet: AFTER SNAPPING PICTURES, WE ALL DECIDED TO TAKE A WALK TO CASEMATE 5.
WALKING IN CASEMATE 5, YOU COULD PICK UP A VIBE -- LOST, SCARED.
I STARTED TO GET DIZZY.
MY HEART PALPITATED.
SO, WE SET UP THE DIGITAL VOICE RECORDER, AND ONE OF MY INVESTIGATORS SAID, "COULD YOU PLEASE TELL US YOUR STORY?" AND I HEARD "GOTCHA!" I WAS HORRIFIED.
I WAS LIKE, "WOW, THESE SPIRITS HERE AT FORT MIFFLIN ARE HIGHLY INTELLIGENT.
" I DON'T KNOW IF THEY'RE LOST.
TO ME, IT SEEMS AS THOUGH THEY'RE RELIVING THEIR PAST.
IT WAS TOTALLY ASTOUNDING.
AFTER WE LEFT CASEMATE 5, WE JUST STARTED WALKING AROUND, SNAPPING PICTURES HERE AND THERE, AND CAUGHT SEVERAL ORBS.
THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN, WE HEARD A HORRIFIC, BLOOD-CURDLING SCREAM.
[ FEMALE SCREAMS .]
IT SOUNDED LIKE SOMEONE WAS BEING MURDERED.
IT TERRIFIED ME.
I COULDN'T MOVE.
Brown: I COULDN'T TELL WHA IT WAS.
I WAS TOTALLY SHOCKED.
Mallet: I'M THINKING THA THE SCREAM CAME FROM MRS.
PRATT, WHO WAS SO DISTRAUGH OVER THE DEATH OF HER DAUGHTER THAT SHE HUNG HERSELF.
YOU CAN NEVER GET OVER A CHILD'S DEATH.
SO, WE CONTINUED TO WALK UP TO MRS.
PRATT'S ROOM.
I SAID, "OKAY, I WANT TO LEAVE THE DIGITAL VOICE RECORDER IN HERE," 'CAUSE I PICKED UP SOMETHING PLAYFUL.
SOMEBODY WANTED TO PLAY.
IT'S PROBABLY MRS.
PRATT'S DAUGHTER.
SO, WE LEFT THE DIGITAL VOICE RECORDER IN THE ROOM.
EVERYONE LEFT.
I CAME BACK, I CLICKED ON THE DIGITAL VOICE RECORDER, AND THE MOST SPECTACULAR EVP THAT I HAVE EVER HEARD FROM ANY CHILD CAME OUT LOUD AND CLEAR.
"YOU WANNA HEAR SOMETHING?" AND I WAS LIKE, "WOW! OH, MY GOSH!" AND, INDEED, WE DID.
WE HEARD HER.
I WAS LIKE, "HEY, GUYS, WE DIDN'T HIT THE BLACKSMITH'S SHOP YET.
LET'S GO THERE.
" SO, WE WALKED INTO THE BLACKSMITH'S SHOP, STARTED WITH CAMERAWORK, DIGITAL VOICE RECORDER.
AND I SNAPPED A PICTURE.
AND AT THE DOORWAY, YOU CAN JUST SEE MIST.
NO ONE WAS SMOKING.
PERSONALLY, I THINK IT'S A SIGN OF THE SPIRI BEING IN THAT ROOM, POSSIBLY THE BLACKSMITH.
Brown: I AM NOT SURE WHAT IT WAS.
IT JUST APPEARED ON THE PICTURE.
Mallet: YOU CAN FEEL THE VIBE.
THERE WAS SOMEONE DEFINITELY IN THAT ROOM, SOMEONE WHO JUST DIDN' LIKE US THERE.
IT WANTED US OUT.
MY LEGS WENT WEAK, AND I WAS LIKE, "WOW, OKAY.
THAT'S IT.
I'M OUT OF HERE.
" FORT MIFFLIN OPENED UP MY MIND A LOT MORE CONCERNING THE PARANORMAL REALM.
Brown: THE WHOLE EXPERIENCE WAS TOTALLY DIFFICULT FOR ME, PICKING UP VIBES FROM SPIRITS, LISTENING TO THEM TALK.
I MEAN, I FEEL LIKE A TOTAL DIFFERENT PERSON AFTER I HAD THIS PARANORMAL EXPERIENCE.
IT'S INCREDIBLE.
Mallet: THE SPIRITS OF FOR MIFFLIN WILL ALWAYS BE THERE WAITING, WATCHING.
THE SOLDIERS, MRS.
PRAT HAVE DIED TRAGICALLY, POSSIBLY ALSO NOT EVEN KNOWING THAT THEY'RE DEAD.
THERE IS LIFE AFTER DEATH, AND IF THE SPIRITS OF FORT MIFFLIN AREN'T PROOF, THEN I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE WOULD BE.
Powell: MAITLAND GAOL IS ONE OF THE MOST HAUNTED PLACES.
Meyer: RIGHT IN FRONT OF US WAS THIS MOAN.
[ MOANING .]
Powell: I SAW A HAND OR AN ARM COME OVER HIS LEFT-HAND SHOULDER.
Meyer: MY HEAR ACTUALLY SKIPPED A BEAT.
Powell: MAITLAND GAOL IS ONE OF THE MOST HAUNTED PLACES.
Meyer: AAH! RIGHT IN FRONT OF US WAS THIS MOAN.
Powell: I WAS FROZEN, AND I COULD NOT MOVE.
MY GHOST STORY BEGAN WHEN I VISITED MAITLAND GAOL IN NEW SOUTH WALES, AUSTRALIA.
MY INTERES WITH MAITLAND GAOL STARTED WITH HEARING A LOT OF STORIES.
THERE ARE HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS OF REPORTED SIGHTINGS AND SPOOKY GOINGS-ON AT THE GAOL.
IT WAS REALLY ONE PLACE THAT I WANTED TO GET INTO AND CHECK IT OUT, AND I GUESS MY INTEREST BECAME SOMETHING WHERE I HAD TO ACTUALLY PROVE THAT THESE THINGS DID EXIST.
NICKY'S MY WIFE, AND NICKY AND MYSELF STARTED A PARANORMAL RESEARCH TEAM.
Meyer: WHEN WE ARRIVED AT MAITLAND GAOL, FROM THE VERY MOMEN THOSE GATES OPENED, YOU NEVER FELT LIKE YOU WERE ALONE.
YOU WERE BEING WATCHED.
THERE WAS AN UNEASY FEELING.
Powell: MAITLAND GAOL ITSELF WAS BUILT IN 1848.
A LOT OF HORRIFIC THINGS HAVE GONE ON IN THE PRISON, AS YOU CAN IMAGINE, A LOT OF VIOLENT CRIMES, AND IT WAS HOME TO THE WORST OF THE WORST.
I HAVE TO SAY, IT'S PROBABLY THE MOST INTIMIDATING PLACE I'VE EVER WALKED INTO IN MY LIFE.
A PLACE THAT REALLY DREW MY ATTENTION WAS A PARTICULAR AREA CALLED 5 WING.
NOW, IN 5 WING IS A CELL, CELL NUMBER FOUR, AND A PRISONER BY THE NAME OF GEORGE SEVERS ACTUALLY HUNG HIMSELF INSIDE THE DOORWAY OF CELL FOUR.
IT'S BEEN REPORTED MANY, MANY TIMES OF PEOPLE HAVING AN ENCOUNTER WITH GEORGE, AND, FOR MYSELF, I REALLY WANTED TO SEE WHETHER THOSE STORY WERE TRUE OR FIGMENTS OF PEOPLES' IMAGINATIONS.
I WAS THE ONLY PARTICULAR PERSON WITHIN THE WHOLE 5 WING UNI AT THE TIME, AND I HAD POSITIONED MYSELF IN GEORGE'S CELL TO A POINT WHERE I HAD ALL CORNERS COVERED.
I WAS BY MYSELF WITH THE CAMERA, AND I GUESS THE ULTIMATE AIM OF WHAT I WAS DOING WAS TO TRY AND CAPTURE SOME RESPONSE.
IF THERE WAS THE SPIRIT OF GEORGE, I WANTED HIM TO TALK TO ME.
THE LONGER I SAT THERE, STRANGE THINGS STARTED TO HAPPEN.
I'M NOT SOMEONE THAT SCARES EASILY.
BUT AFTER HEARING THIS GROWL, THERE WAS A MOMENT THERE WHERE I WAS FROZEN, AND I COULD NOT MOVE.
NONE OF THE MOTION SENSORS HAD BEEN TRIGGERED.
I DID RADIO BACK TO BASE TO SEE IF ANYONE WAS IN THE PARTICULAR AREA AT THE TIME, AND THEY WEREN'T.
I'M HEARING GROWLING.
JUST AFTER I HAD DONE THAT, A MASSIVE CELL DOOR JUST SLAMMED.
THE NOISE WAS COMING FROM DOWN -- Meyer: AAH! [BLEEP.]
Powell: AND IT WAS DEAFENING.
THAT REALLY FRIGHTENED ME.
Meyer: AAH! [BLEEP.]
Powell: I SAW NO CELL DOORS MOVE AT ALL, BUT CLEAR AS DAY YOU COULD HEAR THESE THINGS BANGING AND CRASHING IN THE DARK.
Meyer: AAH! [BLEEP.]
BECAUSE CRAIG HAD ALREADY EXPERIENCED SOME ISSUES IN CELL FOUR, WHERE HE HAD ACTUALLY HEARD THE CELL DOORS SLAM, WE THOUGHT THAT THA MIGHT HAVE BEEN THE BEST WING TO ACTUALLY SIT FOR OUR UNDISTURBED INVESTIGATION.
SO, CRAIG WAS ACTUALLY STATIONED IN ANOTHER BLOCK, KEEPING AN EYE ON WHAT WE WERE DOING.
ONE OF THE OTHER TEAM MEMBERS WAS SITTING WITH ME.
AND RIGHT IN FRONT OF US, BEFORE WE KNEW IT, WAS THIS GOD ALMIGHTY MOAN.
WHEN WE HEARD THAT MOAN, MY HEART ACTUALLY SKIPPED A BEAT.
IT WAS THAT DISTINCT.
I GOT QUITE A FRIGH BECAUSE THERE WAS CLEARLY NOBODY IN FRONT OF US.
IT WAS JUST PURE NERVES BECAUSE IT WAS ABSOLUTELY SURREAL.
NOT LONG AFTER THAT, THE CELL DOORS STARTED TO SHUT.
[ BANGING .]
[BLEEP.]
JESUS! NOW, THESE ARE MASSIVE, HUGE, METAL DOORS.
[ BANGING .]
Powell: I ACTUALLY WENT OU TO CHECK ON THEM AT ONE STAGE TO MAKE SURE THEY WERE ALL RIGHT, TO MAKE SURE THEY HADN'T DROPPED ANYTHING, AGAIN TRYING TO RATIONALIZE THE SITUATION.
Meyer: WE WERE KIND OF SCRATCHING OUR HEADS AS TO WHAT HAPPENED, HOW DID THAT HAPPEN, WENT BACK AND CHECKED TO SEE WHICH DOORS MIGHT HAVE BEEN CLOSED OR OPENED.
COULDN'T SEE ANYTHING THAT WAS UNDETERRED AT ALL.
[ BANGING .]
Powell: ONE PLACE I REALLY WANTED TO GET BACK TO WAS CELL FOUR IN 5 WING.
I HAD SOME PHENOMENAL EXPERIENCES EARLIER ON IN THE EVENING, SO I WANTED TO MAKE SURE I WENT BACK WITH SOME OTHER PEOPLE JUST FOR VALIDATION AND VERIFICATION IF ANYTHING DID OCCUR.
I WAS WITH TWO OF OUR INVESTIGATORS.
WE ACTUALLY THOUGH WE'D TRY AN EVP SESSION WITHINSIDE GEORGE'S CELL JUST TO SEE IF WE COULD GE SOME MORE COMMUNICATION WITH HIM.
ANOTHER MEMBER SAT DOWN IN FRONT OF THE CELL DOOR WHERE GEORGE WAS FOUND HUNG.
HE WAS FILMING ME DURING THIS EVP SESSION.
[BLEEP.]
I SAW SOMETHING MOVE BEHIND HIM, AND THE NEXT SECOND, I SAW WHAT APPEARED TO BE A HAND OR AN ARM COME OVER HIS LEFT-HAND SHOULDER AS IF IT WAS GOING TO COME AROUND HIS NECK.
AND IT'S QUITE OFF-PUTTING WHEN YOU CAN SEE A BLACK FIGURE MOVE IN PITCH-BLACK DARKNESS.
I SAT IN THE SAME POSITION JUST TO SEE IF I COULD GE THE SAME SENSATION.
AS I WAS SAT DOWN IN THE CELL DOOR WHERE GEORGE HAD HUNG, MY QUESTION TO HIM WAS, "GEORGE, SHOW ME HOW YOU DIED.
" AND WITHIN THE SPACE OF MAYBE 30 SECONDS, I FELT A BURNING SENSATION.
AS JARED CHECKED MY NECK JUST TO SEE IF THERE WAS A SCRATCH MARK ON ME, IT WAS MORE THAN THAT.
IT WAS A BIG, THICK, RED LINE, AND IT ACTUALLY LOOKED LIKE A HANGING MARK.
Meyer: IT WAS SO THICK AND SO RED AND SO OBVIOUS.
IT WAS PROBABLY ONE OF THE MOST SHOCKING THINGS I'VE EVER SEEN.
Powell: THERE WAS NO REASON AT ALL WHY THAT MARK SHOULD HAVE BEEN ON MY NECK.
FOR IT TO HAPPEN AFTER I ASKED GEORGE TO SHOW ME HOW HE DIED IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING.
I THINK I HAD BEEN INFLICTED BY THE SAME EMOTIONS, THE SAME FEELINGS, THE SAME ENERGY THAT GEORGE HAD GONE THROUGH THAT PARTICULAR EVENING.
Jared: [ SPEAKS INDISTINCTLY .]
Meyer: IT WAS REALLY, INCREDIBLY DISTURBING TO THINK THAT A SPIRI HAS THIS SORT OF ABILITY.
AND IT CERTAINLY PROVES BE VERY CAREFUL WHAT YOU ASK FOR BECAUSE YOU JUST MAY GET IT.
Powell: MAITLAND GAOL IS PROBABLY ONE OF THE MOST HAUNTED PLACES I HAVE EVER BEEN TOO.
Meyer: AAH! [BLEEP.]
AS MUCH AS I WANT TO GO BACK, I'M ALSO QUITE RELUCTAN TO DO SO BECAUSE I DO KNOW WHAT AWAITS.
AND THERE'S A FEAR THAT GOES WITH IT.
Powell: I REMEMBER GROWING UP AS A SMALL BOY, AND MUM AND DAD ALWAYS TELLING ME THAT YOU DON'T NEED TO BE AFRAID OF THE DARK 'CAUSE THERE'S NO MONSTERS IN THE DARK, BUT MAITLAND GAOL IS DEFINITELY A PLACE WHERE STRANGE THINGS ACTUALLY DO LURK IN THE DARKNESS.
Christensen: WE FELT AS IF WE WERE BEING WATCHED.
Wheeler: IT WAS A BAD, BAD SOUND.
Christensen: WE CAPTURED AN ACTUAL MANIFESTATION ON CAMERA.
Wheeler: I KNEW THERE WAS NO EXPLANATION FOR I BUT AN ENTITY TOUCHING ME.
Christensen: THAT REALLY FREAKED ME OUT.
Wheeler: IT WAS A BAD, BAD SOUND.
I KNEW THERE WAS NO EXPLANATION FOR I BUT AN ENTITY TOUCHING ME.
Christensen: THAT REALLY FREAKED ME OUT.
MY GHOST STORY BEGAN WHEN I VISITED THIS HAUNTED RESTAURAN IN ATCHISON, KANSAS.
Wheeler: ANGELIQUE'S MY BEST FRIEND, AND THE NUMBER-ONE THING WE HAVE IN COMMON IS IS WE'RE BOTH INTERESTED IN THE PARANORMAL.
THIS RESTAURANT WAS LOCATED ON A RIVER, AND WE HEARD IT WAS A BROTHEL IN THE LATE 1800s.
AND SO, WE BELIEVED THAT A LOT OF GENTLEMEN WOULD TRAVEL THROUGH THERE LOOKING FOR A GOOD TIME.
AND WE WERE VERY INTRIGUED BY THIS PLACE, AND WE REALLY WANTED TO GO CHECK IT OUT.
Christensen: WHEN WE ARRIVED AT THE LOCATION, WE FELT AS IF WE WERE BEING WATCHED.
Wheeler: THE BUILDING WAS EMPTY AT THE TIME.
IT WAS GOING THROUGH SOME RENOVATIONS, WHICH HAD BEEN KNOWN TO STIR UP ACTIVITY.
Christensen: WE GOT INTO THE LOCATION INSIDE.
THE FEEL WAS OVERWHELMING.
MY HAIR STARTED STANDING ON END.
IT JUST FELT LIKE THERE WAS 100 EYES JUST WATCHING US.
IT WAS VERY HEAVY-FEELING, AND YOU COULD FEEL YOUR CHES WAS JUST VERY DIFFICUL TO EVEN BREATHE AS IF SOMETHING WAS KIND OF JUST BEARING DOWN ON YOU.
Wheeler: SO, WE WALK IN, AND WE START SETTING UP.
Christensen: WE KNEW THE SPIRITS WERE WATCHING US.
WE GOT THIS EVP THAT SAID, "THEY'RE HERE.
" Wheeler: WHEN I HEARD THAT, IT WAS A REALLY CREEPY FEELING.
MY WHOLE BODY TINGLED.
Christensen: IT WAS VERY ALARMING AND KIND OF STARTLED US BECAUSE WE HAD JUST GOTTEN THERE.
Wheeler: THEY KNOW THAT WE'RE HERE AND WATCHING US.
Christensen: SO, WE WALK UPSTAIRS, AND WE DECIDED THAT WE'RE GONNA SIT IN THE HALLWAY AND SEE IF THERE'S ANY SPIRITS AROUND US AT THIS TIME.
Wheeler: THE BROTHEL WAS RAN BY THE MADAM.
HER NAME WAS LULU.
AT THAT TIME, WE TOLD HER, "LULU, THEY'RE GONNA THROW YOU BACK IN JAIL.
" AND THROUGH THE SPIRIT BOX, WE GOT, "I DON'T GIVE A CRAP.
" AND THAT WAS JUST AMAZING.
CLEAR AS DAY.
Christensen: LULU'S VOICE WAS VERY CREEPY.
WE KNEW INSTANTLY BY THE TONE OF HER VOICE THAT SHE DID NOT WANT US THERE, SO IT WAS A VERY CREEPY FEELING KNOWING THAT WE WERE IN A LOCATION THAT SOMEBODY DID NO WANT US IN.
Wheeler: I THOUGHT IT WAS AMAZING.
IT WAS DIRECTLY RESPONDING TO THE QUESTION.
AND IT KIND OF MADE YOU LOOK AROUND, YOU KNOW, 'CAUSE SHE WAS THERE RESPONDING TO THAT QUESTION.
Christensen: THE SPIRIT OF LULU HAS LIVED IN THIS LOCATION FOR SO MANY YEARS, SO TO HER, THIS IS HER HOME.
AND TO HAVE SOMEBODY ELSE COME IN AND START ASKING QUESTIONS, I THINK THAT SHE JUST WASN' COMFORTABLE WITH US BEING THERE.
Wheeler: WE PROCEEDED TO THE STORAGE ROOM, WHERE WE STARTED CONDUCTING AN EVP SESSION.
Christensen: ON MY LEFT SIDE, I CAN HEAR A GROWL -- VERY LOUD, DEEP GROWL.
Wheeler: THIS GROWL IS SOMETHING I'VE NEVER HEARD BEFORE.
IT WAS SOMETHING THAT, I BELIEVE, WANTED US TO LEAVE.
I'VE NEVER HEARD ANYTHING LIKE IT.
I DON'T EVEN THINK IT WAS HUMAN.
IT WAS A BAD, BAD SOUND.
Christensen: THIS VERY EVIL GROWL THAT JUS SCARED THE HELL OUT OF US.
THEN WE DECIDED TO GO AHEAD AND SIT IN A CIRCLE IN THE MIDDLE OF THIS ROOM.
WE START SEEING WHAT WE BELIEVE IS ORBS THAT ARE GOING BACK AND FORTH ACROSS THE CEILING OF THIS ROOM.
Wheeler: THAT WAS AMAZING AND SCARY AT THE SAME TIME.
Christensen: OUR EMF DETECTOR STARTS TO GO OFF, AS WELL AS OUR K-II METER.
Wheeler: THE MOTION SENSOR DOESN'T LIE.
I BELIEVE IT WAS THE SPIRI OF LULU OR ONE OF HER GIRLS.
Christensen: WE THEN TELL SPIRI TO GO BACK IN FRONT OF OUR MOTION SENSOR TO SEE IF THEY CAN SET IT OFF.
AS THEY SPIRIT GOES IN FRONT OF THE MOTION SENSOR AND SETS IT OFF, WE HERE A MALE VOICE SAY, "IT'S A BRIGHT LIGHT.
" THIS PARTICULAR VOICE OF THE MALE WAS MORE OF A CURIOUS VOICE, MORE HANGING OUT, WANTING TO CHECK US OU AND SEE WHO WE WERE.
SO, THIS VOICE WASN'T AS CREEPY TO US AS THE OTHER VOICES HAD BEEN.
WHILE WE WERE IN THE STORAGE ROOM, WE STARTED TAKING SOME PICTURES.
WE LOOK AT OUR PICTURES EACH TIME THAT WE CLICK THE CAMERA, AND WE NOTICED THAT WE CAPTURED AN ACTUAL MANIFESTATION ON CAMERA.
Wheeler: THOSE WERE THE FIRST PICTURES WHERE I COULD ACTUALLY SAY SOMETHING WAS MANIFESTING.
I'VE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING IN OUR EVIDENCE BEFORE LIKE IT.
SOMETHING WAS STARTING TO MANIFEST AND SHOW ITSELF.
Christensen: THIS WAS ACTUALLY VERY CREEPY TO CAPTURE THIS MANIFESTATION ON CAMERA.
Wheeler: IT WAS COMING UP FROM THE FLOOR, AND IT WAS WHITE.
IT DIDN'T SEEM TO FINISH ITSELF OFF, BUT SOMETHING WAS BEGINNING TO SHOW ITSELF.
THAT'S PRETTY AMAZING.
Christensen: I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT WAS, BUT I DO BELIEVE IT WAS SOMETHING EVIL.
FINALLY, IT WAS TIME TO HEAD TO THE BASEMENT.
A LOT OF PEOPLE DIDN'T EVEN KNOW THIS BASEMENT HAD EXISTED.
YOU COULD TELL THAT NOBODY GOES INTO THIS BASEMENT.
THIS IS WHERE IT REALLY GOT CREEPY.
Wheeler: IT KIND OF HAD A SENSE THAT -- A SADNESS DOWN THERE, THAT MAYBE SOMEBODY WAS LOCKED DOWN THERE, SOMEBODY WAS HURT DOWN THERE.
THERE'S NOTHING GOOD ABOUT THAT BASEMENT.
Christensen: ERIN FELT AS IF SHE WAS BEING TOUCHED AND HAD TURNED AROUND AND LOOKED AT ME AND ASKED IF I HAD JUST TOUCHED HER.
I RESPONDED AND SAID NO.
Wheeler: I KNEW THERE WAS NO EXPLANATION FOR I BUT AN ENTITY TOUCHING ME.
IT WAS SO FORCEFUL.
IT WASN'T JUST A LITTLE TAP.
Christensen: THAT REALLY FREAKED ME OUT.
Wheeler: A SPIRIT TOUCHED ME THAT NIGHT, AND I HOPE A SPIRI NEVER TOUCHES ME AGAIN.
Christensen: WE DECIDED TO GO AHEAD AND SIT DOWN, THINKING THAT WE MIGHT HAVE SOME ACTIVITY GOING ON IN THIS AREA.
AND WE GET THIS EVP FROM A VERY ANGRY, EVIL VOICE THAT TELLS US, "DIE!" I HAVE NEVER BEEN MORE SCARED IN MY LIFE.
Wheeler: AT THAT POINT, WE DECIDED ENOUGH WAS ENOUGH, SO WE PACKED UP OUR STUFF AND GOT THE HELL OUT OF THERE.
Christensen: THIS BUILDING, BY FAR, IS THE SCARIEST BUILDING I HAVE EVER BEEN IN.
I GUARANTEE YOU THAT WAS MY FIRST AND LAST TIME IN A BROTHEL.
Wheeler: EVEN OFFERED $1 MILLION, I WOULD NEVER STAY THE NIGH IN THAT PLACE BY MYSELF.
Judy: THE PLACE IS NOTORIOUS FOR BEING HAUNTED.
AND IT WAS AT THAT POIN THAT I FELT SOMEONE PUT A HAND ON MY SHOULDER.
I SAID, "TAKE A PICTURE NOW.
" Justin: "HOW COULD SOMETHING BE THERE?" Judy: I REFUSE TO GO IN THAT BUILDING BY MYSELF.
Judy: THE PLACE IS NOTORIOUS FOR BEING HAUNTED.
AND IT WAS AT THAT POIN THAT I FELT SOMEONE PUT A HAND ON MY SHOULDER.
I REFUSE TO GO IN THAT BUILDING BY MYSELF.
Justin: MY GHOST STORY BEGAN WHEN MY FAMILY BOUGH AN OLD, HAUNTED SCHOOLHOUSE.
THE FIRST WARD SCHOOLHOUSE IS LOCATED IN WISCONSIN RAPIDS.
IT WAS BUILT IN 1896.
IT DID SERVE AS A SCHOOL UNTIL 1977, SO IT'S BEEN CLOSED AND PRETTY MUCH HAS REMAINED VACAN SINCE THEN.
Judy: THE PLACE IS NOTORIOUS FOR BEING HAUNTED.
WE'VE HEARD STORIES FROM THE TOWNSPEOPLE OF THE FIRE, AND 32 CHILDREN DIED IN THE BUILDING, A BOY NAMED OSCAR WAS HUNG IN THE BUILDING BY CLASSMATES.
SO, YOU CANNOT EVEN BE OUT IN THE YARD WITHOUT SOMEONE STOPPING BY AND SAYING, "YOU DO KNOW THIS PLACE IS HAUNTED, RIGHT?" Justin: WE WERE IN THE MARKE LOOKING FOR AN OLD BUILDING -- SOMETHING HAUNTED 'CAUSE WE WANTED TO DO, LIKE, A HAUNTED BED-AND-BREAKFAST.
Judy: SO, WHEN WE HEARD THE PLACE WAS FOR SALE, I JUMPED AT THE CHANCE TO GO SEE IT.
Justin: STANDING OUTSIDE THE BUILDING, ALL THE WAY UP TO THE POIN OF WALKING INTO THE DOOR, IT JUST SEEMED LIKE THERE WAS JUST CONSTANTLY SOMEBODY WATCHING YOU.
IT'S JUST KIND OF UNSETTLING.
Judy: THE REAL-ESTATE AGEN OPENED THE DOORS, AND WHEN WE GOT UP TO THE FIRST LANDING, I HEARD A MAN'S VOICE SAY, "HELLO.
" EVERY HAIR STOOD UP ON MY ARM.
I JUST GO A REALLY EXCITED FEELING.
AND SHE GOES, "THERE'S NOBODY HERE.
" AND I SAID, "YEAH.
" AND SHE GOES, "DID YOU HEAR THAT?" AND I SAID, "YEAH, I HEARD THAT.
" IT WAS AT THAT MOMEN THAT I JUST HAD TO HAVE IT.
I WAS, LIKE, TOTALLY IN LOVE WITH THE BUILDING.
Justin: AFTER THAT, WE STARTED CARRYING VOICE RECORDERS ON US WHENEVER WE WEN TO THE BUILDING.
AND THE SECOND TIME, IMMEDIATELY WHEN WE WALKED IN, WE SAID, "HELLO.
" Judy: HELLO.
Justin: WE DIDN'T HEAR ANYTHING AT THE TIME.
MY AUNT THOUGH SHE HEARD SOMETHING, SO WE IMMEDIATELY WENT TO THE VOICE RECORDER AND PLAYED IT BACK.
AND WHAT WE HEARD WAS RIGH AFTER MY MOM SAYS, "HELLO," WE GOT THIS VOICE THAT SAID Judy: AND IT SOUNDED LIKE A SCHOOLTEACHER WOULD SOUND LIKE.
Justin: MY AUNT WAS TOO FAR AWAY TO COME OUT THAT CLEAR, AND MY MOM DID NOT SAY THAT.
Judy: AND IT WAS AT THAT POIN THAT I REALIZED THERE WAS NOT JUST A MALE SPIRI THAT LIVED IN THE BUILDING.
THERE WAS SEVERAL SPIRITS THAT LIVED IN THE BUILDING.
ONE DAY, WE WERE WALKING THROUGH THE BUILDING.
WE HAD JUST PASSED WHAT WE CALL THE GRAFFITI ROOM, AND IT WAS THE ONLY ROOM IN THE SCHOOL THAT THE KIDS HAD DESTROYED.
THERE WERE BROKEN WINDOWS AND BOARDS, AND THE PLACE WAS JUS IN REALLY BAD SHAPE.
AND I SAID TO MY SISTER, "THIS IS GOING TO BE A MESS TO CLEAN UP.
" SO, WE MADE OUR WAY OUTSIDE, AND WE WERE GOING THROUGH THE RECORDER LISTENING AND AT THE POINT WHERE I SAID, "THIS IS GOING TO BE A MESS TO CLEAN UP," WE HEARD A MAN'S VOICE SAY "NO, IT'S NOT.
" THE FACT THAT SOMETHING WAS ACTUALLY FOLLOWING US THAT CLOSE THROUGHOUT THE BUILDING THAT I WAS LISTENING TO WHAT WE SAID AND MAKING COMMENTS AS WE WERE TALKING MADE ME VERY UNCOMFORTABLE.
IT WAS AT THAT POIN THAT MY SISTER NO LONGER WANTED TO GO TO THE SECOND FLOOR BY HERSELF.
Justin: ONE DAY WHEN WE WERE WORKING THE BUILDING, WE STARTED SEEING ALL THESE LITTLE LIGHTS THAT WERE TRAVELLING THROUGH THE ROOMS.
SO, WE IMMEDIATELY GRABBED OUR CAMERAS, TRYING TO GET SHOTS OF THESE THINGS, WHICH WAS REALLY HARD TO DO BECAUSE THEY WOULD APPEAR RANDOMLY, TRAVEL FOR A SHORT DISTANCE, AND WOULD BE GONE.
I CAN'T EXPLAIN IT.
I DON'T KNOW IF THEY'RE SPIRIT ACTIVITY OR SOME KIND OF OUTER-WORLD ENERGY OR WHAT'S GOING ON, BUT IT'S A LITTLE INTIMIDATING WHEN YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND ALL THE PHENOMENA THAT'S GOING AROUND YOU.
NOW, AT THE SCHOOLHOUSE, THE ONE AREA WHICH I WOULD CONSIDER LIKE THE GROUND ZERO FOR PARANORMAL ACTIVITY WOULD BE THE BASEMENT, WITHOUT A DOUBT.
Judy: THERE'S SEVERAL THINGS THAT HAVE HAPPENED IN THE BASEMENT THAT TERRIFY ME.
I WAS DOWNSTAIRS IN THE COAL ROOM, AND I HEARD A NOISE KIND OF LIKE A WHISTLE BEHIND ME.
AND I STOOD UP AND I TURNED AROUND, AND TWO HANDS -- YOU COULD FEEL THE HANDS ON YOU -- PUSHED ME UP AGAINST THE WALL AND HELD ME THERE FOR IT WAS LIKE ABOUT FIVE SECONDS.
BUT IT FELT LIKE FOREVER.
AND I WAS SO SCARED.
EVERY HAIR ON MY BODY STOOD UP.
I STARTED TO SCREAM, AND I FLEW UP THE STAIRS, WHICH ISN'T EASY FOR ME TO DO.
Justin: SO, I RAN DOWN.
SHE WAS RUNNING UP.
WE MET IN THE MIDDLE.
SHE TOLD ME WHAT HAPPENED.
WELL, EVER SINCE THAT DAY, MY MOTHER WILL NO GO DOWN IN THAT BASEMEN UNLESS SHE BASICALLY HAS ARMED GUARDS WITH HER.
Judy: I REFUSE TO GO IN THAT BUILDING BY MYSELF.
Justin: THERE SEEMS TO BE A SHADOW PERSON THAT LURKS IN THE BASEMENT, AND YOU'LL HEAR HIM ACTUALLY WALKING AROUND.
YOU'LL HEAR HIM SOMETIMES WHISTLING, AND IT'S NOT LIKE THE WIND.
IT ACTUALLY CARRIES A TUNE, SO YOU KNOW WHEN HE'S AROUND.
ON HALLOWEEN, THINGS GOT REALLY CRAZY.
WE WERE DOWN IN THE BASEMEN GETTING READY FOR THE PEOPLE THAT NIGHT.
Judy: AND ALL OF A SUDDEN, THE WHOLE FEELING IN THE ROOM STARTED TO CHANGE.
THE ATMOSPHERE GOT THICKER, AND IT GOT VERY, VERY COLD.
AND I HEARD A WHISTLE.
IT WAS ALMOST LIKE IT RAISED MY FEAR LEVEL BECAUSE THAT WAS HIS WAY OF TAUNTING ME.
AND I FELT SOMEONE PUT A HAND ON MY SHOULDER.
SO, I ASKED MY SON IF HE HAD HIS CELLPHONE ON HIM, AND HE SAID HE DID.
AND I SAID, "TAKE A PICTURE NOW.
" Justin: I'M ALWAYS KIND OF SKEPTICAL, YOU KNOW? I DON'T NECESSARILY BELIEVE WHEN PEOPLE SAY SOMETHING'S TOUCHING THEM OR THEY'RE FEELING SOMETHING, BUT TO HUMOR MY MOTHER, I SNAPPED A PICTURE.
Judy: HE SUCKED HIS BREATH IN, AND HE SAID, "MOM, YOU'RE NOT GONNA BELIEVE THIS.
" AND HE SHOWED ME THE PICTURE ON HIS iPHONE OF WHAT HE HAD.
AND IN THE PICTURE IS THE SHADOW OUTLINE OF A MAN STANDING WITH HIS HAND ON MY SHOULDER.
Justin: I MEAN, WHEN I LOOKED AT THE PICTURE, I WAS JUST LIKE, "HOLY [BLEEP.]
HOW COULD SOMETHING BE THERE?" MY MOTHER WAS FREAKING OUT.
Judy: AND I THINK IT WAS AT THAT POIN THAT HE STARTED TO BELIEVE ME ON WHY I DIDN'T WANT TO BE IN THE BASEMENT BY MYSELF.
OWNING THE FIRST WARD SCHOOLHOUSE HAS CHANGED MY LIFE QUITE A BIT.
IT'S REALLY OPENED MY MIND TO HOW PARANORMAL ACTIVITY IS, HOW INTENSE IT CAN BE.
Justin: I HAVE A LOT OF PEOPLE, A LOT OF NEIGHBORS THAT COME UP AND TALK TO ME.
THEY ALL WANT TO TALK ABOU HOW THE PLACE IS HAUNTED AND HOW I'M CRAZY FOR LIVING THERE AND THAT I NEED TO SELL THAT PLACE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE 'CAUSE IT'S JUST SO HAUNTED YOU CAN'T EVEN GET PAS THE SECOND FLOOR.
Judy: I'VE TRIED TO GET HIM TO RENT A PLACE NEARBY.
HE WON'T DO IT, SO I JUST PRAY THAT HE'S SAFE WHEN HE'S THERE.
Justin: LIVING IN THE SCHOOLHOUSE HAS DEFINITELY CHANGED MY LIFE AND PERSPECTIVE ON GHOSTS.
IT'S JUST MADE ME REALIZE THAT LIVING WITH GHOSTS, TO ME, PERSONALLY, IS JUST LIKE HAVING ROOMMATES BUT BETTER BECAUSE THEY DON'T EAT MY FOOD.
