My Ghost Story (2010) s06e08 Episode Script
Terror at Mr. T's
Blackwood: SOMEBODY HAD SAT DOWN ON THE MATTRESS.
WHEN WE REVIEWED THE VIDEO, WE SAW AN ORB COME SHOOTING ACROSS THE ROOM.
YOU SEE THE INDEN ON THE MATTRESS.
THERE ARE SPIRITS WITHIN THE WALKER-AMES HOUSE.
Zack: THEY SET IT IN THE CORNER, HAD IN THE "OFF" POSITION.
I WAS IN COMPLETE DISBELIEF THAT I WAS TALKING TO SOMEBODY THAT IS TURNING THIS THING ON AND OFF.
THERE IS SOMETHING OUT THERE.
I CAN'T EXPLAIN IT.
I DON'T EVEN KNOW IF I WANT TO UNDERSTAND IT.
IT'S DEFINITELY VERY REAL.
Turk: I SNAPPED PICTURES IN EVERY DIRECTION.
BUT WHEN I SNAPPED OVER BY THE CHAIR THAT MY HUSBAND DIED IN, I GOT AN ORB GOING AROUND THE DOORJAMB AND INTO OUR BEDROOM.
MILES WAS TRYING TO LET ME KNOW THAT HE WAS STILL THERE WITH ME.
I MISSED MY HUSBAND SO MUCH.
Roberts: THE FIRST THING OU OF MY MOUTH WAS, "HOLY CRAP.
" YOU CAN ACTUALLY SEE A FACE IN IT.
Castillo: ME AND MY MOM LOOKED AT EACH OTHER, AND WE WERE COMPLETELY SHOCKED.
Roberts: SHE LOOKED AT IT, AND SHE GOES, "THAT'S ME.
" Castillo: I'VE NEVER FELT THAT BEFORE.
IT WAS REALLY SCARY FOR ME.
Applegate: I WANTED TO RUN, BECAUSE, OBVIOUSLY, SOMETHING DID NOT WANT ME THERE.
Tackett: THAT WAS EXTREMELY INTENSE.
JUST SCARED US TO DEATH.
Ed: THE SPIRIT JUST SAID, "E-E-E-ED.
" THAT SCARED ME.
Zack: I SAY, "TURN THE LIGHT ON!" AND THE LIGHT TURNS ON ON THE OTHER END OF THE ROOM.
THIS IS CRAZY RIGHT NOW.
Ed: MY GHOST STORY BEGAN WHEN I OPENED A HAUNTED ATTRACTION IN DOWNTOWN PONTIAC, MICHIGAN.
ME AND MY BROTHER ARE CO-OWNERS OF EREBUS.
EREBUS IS A HAUNTED HOUSE, HAUNTED ATTRACTION.
THE BUILDING'S 100,000 SQUARE FEET.
IT WAS VACANT FOR 40 YEARS.
IN THE PROCESS OF BUILDING IT, WE TORE WALLS DOWN.
WE FOUND A PETRIFIED CA IN ONE WALL THAT THEY BUILT.
AND AS WE STARTED DOING THIS, CERTAIN THINGS HAPPENED.
HEARING PIPES CREAK, AND THEN YOU GO AND CUT THE PIPES OUT, AND YOU'RE STILL HEARING PIPES CREAK.
YOU KNOW, FOOTSTEPS.
YOU JUST KIND OF BLOW THAT OFF.
YOU JUST ASSUME IT'S THE SETTLING OF THE BUILDING.
I ACTUALLY SOLD MY HOUSE TO BUY THIS PLACE BECAUSE NO BANK WAS GONNA GIVE US A LOAN TO BUILD A HAUNTED HOUSE.
NOW I ACTUALLY HAVE A PERMANENT RESIDENCE THERE.
I HAVE A LOF UP ON THE THIRD FLOOR.
AS THE PEOPLE ACTUALLY COME INTO THE BUILDING [ INDISTINCT TALKING .]
WE START ON THE SECOND FLOOR.
WE GO UP STAIRS AND DOWN RAMPS.
WE PUT THEM THROUGH A MAZE ON THE SECOND FLOOR [ SCREAMING .]
TAKE THEM UP TO THE THIRD FLOOR [ SCREAMING .]
AND THEN WE WORK THEM DOWN A RAMP BACK TO THE FIRST FLOOR, AND THEN THEY EXIT FROM THERE.
[ EVIL LAUGHTER .]
ZACK IS MY NEPHEW.
HE'S BEEN WITH US SINCE HE'S BEEN A KID, WORKING IN THE HAUNTED HOUSE.
Zack: MY TAKE ON THE PARANORMAL WORLD IS -- I'M A COMPLETE SKEPTIC.
Ed: ON THE OFF-SEASON, THERE'S SEVEN OF US THAT WORK FULL-TIME.
IT'S THE GUYS WHO WORK THERE SEVEN DAYS A WEEK ALL YEAR-ROUND WHO SEE THE MOST THINGS -- YOU KNOW, WHISPERS [ INDISTINCT WHISPERING .]
SOMETHING TOUCHING THEIR EAR, SEEING A DARK SHADOW MOVE FROM LEFT TO RIGHT.
THEY GO ON AND ON ABOUT STORIES.
WHEN WE BOUGHT THE BUILDING, THERE WAS RUMORS AND STORIES ABOUT THIS HOMELESS GUY WHO DIED IN THE BASEMENT.
Zack: WE COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING ABOUT THE DEATH, BUT WE DO HAVE THE SLEEPING BAG AND THE PILLOW STILL SITTING THERE.
WE LEFT IT THERE JUS TO KEEP HIS PRESENCE AROUND.
Ed: THERE'S BEEN SEVERAL TIMES WHERE I ACTUALLY HEAR FOOTSTEPS [ FOOTSTEPS .]
THINKING SOMEBODY ELSE IS IN THE BUILDING.
AND I'LL ACTUALLY GET UP OUT OF BED, GRAB MY FLASHLIGHT, AND RUN THROUGH THE BUILDING LOOKING FOR SOMEBODY.
THERE'S BEEN TWO OCCASIONS WHERE I'M 100% CONVINCED THAT SOMEBODY'S IN THIS BUILDING.
I'VE ACTUALLY CALLED THE POLICE.
[ SIREN WAILS .]
THEY BROUGHT OUT THE K-9 UNITS.
WE SEARCHED THE WHOLE BUILDING AND FOUND NOTHING.
WHEN WORD GOT OU THAT THE HAUNTED HOUSE WAS ACTUALLY HAUNTED, WE WERE CONTACTED BY SEVERAL PARANORMAL INVESTIGATING TEAMS.
KEITH'S TEAM HEARD SOME STORIES AND WANTED TO DO AN INVESTIGATION THE SATURDAY BEFORE HALLOWEEN, WHICH IS OUR BUSIEST DAY, AND HE WANTS TO COME AFTER EVERYBODY GOES THROUGH, THINKING THA WHEN THE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE COME THROUGH THE BUILDING, IT'S GONNA STIR UP THE SPIRITS.
SO, WE'VE ALREADY BEEN WORKING HARD FRIDAY AND SATURDAY, AND NOW HE COMES IN AT 2:30 IN THE MORNING AND WANTS TO SET UP HIS EQUIPMENT.
I DIDN'T WANT TO STAY UP.
Zack: MY LOVELY BOSS AND UNCLE WAS THE ONE WHO MADE THE FINAL DECISION TO PUT ME AS THE BABYSITTER.
Ed: I ACTUALLY RETIRED AND WEN TO SLEEP ON THE THIRD FLOOR.
Zack: THE PARANORMAL TEAM SET A BUNCH OF MONITORS UP ON A TABLE AND STARTED RUNNING VIDEO WIRE DOWN TO THE BASEMENT, TO THE SECOND FLOOR, TO THE THIRD FLOOR.
ONCE ALL THE EQUIPMEN WAS SET UP, I LEFT A COUPLE OF THE GUYS IN THE BASEMENT, AND THEY WERE DOING WHAT THEY WERE DOING.
I WENT UP TO THE SECOND FLOOR, AND I HAD A COUPLE GUYS MOVING BACK AND FORTH THROUGH THIS LONG HALLWAY WHERE WE'VE BEEN TOLD TO HAVE SEEN SHADOWS AND GHOSTS WALKING DOWN THE HALLWAY.
THEN FROM THE SECOND FLOOR, I MOVED DOWN TO THE BOILER ROOM IN THE BASEMENT.
THIS PLACE IS PITCH-BLACK.
THERE IS NO ELECTRICITY.
IT'S A CONCRETE ROOM -- ALMOS A CELL, YOU COULD CALL IT.
JUST DARK, WET, DAMP, COLD.
THIS IS WHERE WE HAD THE CAMERA.
THEY HAD THREE SEPARATE MAGNETIC FIELD READERS.
THEY HAD A COUPLE AUDIO ONES SET UP.
AND THEN THEY SAID, "DOES ANYONE HAVE A FLASHLIGH THAT TWISTS ON AND OFF.
AND ACTUALLY, I WAS THE ONLY ONE DOWN THERE THAT DID.
THEY ACTUALLY USED MY FLASHLIGH AND PUT IT ABOUT 30 FEE TO THE OTHER END OF THE ROOM, AND THEY SET IT IN THE CORNER RIGHT NEXT TO THE PILLOW AND THE SLEEPING BAG OF THE HOMELESS GUY.
THEY HAD I IN THE "OFF" POSITION.
WE ALL WALKED BACK OVER TO THE OTHER END OF THE ROOM.
AND THIS IS WHEN WE WAITED AND WAITED AND WAITED AND WAITED.
AND I SAY, "TURN THE LIGHT ON!" AND THE LIGHT TURNS ON ON THE OTHER END OF THE ROOM.
EVERYBODY'S FREAKING OUT.
"OH, MY GOD! HE TALKS TO YOU.
"HE'S SPEAKING TO YOU.
HE HEARS YOU.
TELL HIM TO TURN IT OFF.
" "TURN THE LIGHT OFF!" [ SNAPS FINGERS .]
AND THE LIGHT TURNS OFF.
I WAS IN COMPLETE DISBELIEF THAT I WAS TALKING TO SOMEBODY THAT IS TURNING THIS THING ON AND OFF.
THE ONLY WAY TO TURN IT ON IS TO TWIST IT.
NOW I'M GETTING CREEPED OUT.
I DON'T BELIEVE IN THIS STUFF.
THERE'S NOBODY OVER THERE, AND THEY'RE USING MY FLASHLIGHT.
THERE'S NO TRICK IN THIS.
THIS IS CRAZY RIGHT NOW.
I'M NOT GONNA CONTINUE TO MESS WITH SOMETHING THAT I HAVE NO CONTROL OVER, HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IT IS.
AND I WAS A SKEPTIC 15 MINUTES AGO.
NOW I'M NOT READY TO BE HERE ANYMORE.
Ed: IT'S A REGULAR FLASHLIGHT.
I MEAN, TO STAND 30 FEET AWAY AND TELL IT TO TURN OFF AND ON, THAT'S PRETTY INCREDIBLE.
THAT CAN'T HAPPEN BY ITSELF.
SOMETHING HAS TO TURN I ON AND OFF.
Zack: THE ONLY EXPLANATION IS THE SPIRIT OF THE HOMELESS MAN FOR THIS LIGH TO BE TURNING ON AND OFF.
Ed: THE FLASHLIGH WAS MAYBE FIVE FEE FROM WHERE THE PILLOW AND THE BLANKET IS FROM THE HOMELESS GUY.
Zack: I WAS NOT VERY EXCITED ABOUT THE SITUATION.
I WANTED MY FLASHLIGHT BACK, AND I WANTED TO GO HOME.
A COUPLE WEEKS AFTER THE INVESTIGATION, KEITH CALLED ED AND I, SAID HE HAD A LOT OF EVIDENCE TO GO OVER AND THAT HE HAD DEFINITELY FOUND SOME THINGS WITH THEIR AUDIO RECORDERS.
Ed: WE WERE SITTING IN THE FRONT OFFICE, AND HE'S PLAYING HIS TAPES.
AND ONE OF THEM SAYS MY NAME.
JUST SAID, "E-E-E-ED.
" IT DRAGGED IT OUT.
THAT SCARED ME.
TO HEAR ONE ACTUALLY SAY MY NAME IS PRETTY INCREDIBLE.
JUST KIND OF A SHOCK, BECAUSE WHERE HE FOUND THAT EVIDENCE, I WAS SLEEPING PROBABLY ABOUT 50 FEET AWAY ON THE OTHER SIDE OF A BRICK WALL.
ONE OF THE OTHER THINGS THAT WAS SAID WAS, "HEY, BOY.
" I'M ASSUMING THAT WAS PROBABLY TALKING TO ZACHARY AT THE TIME.
VERY DISTINCT WOMAN'S VOICE.
IT ALMOST SOUNDS LIKE THE SAME VOICE THAT SAYS, "ED.
" Zack: ANOTHER EVP THAT THEY HAD CAPTURED TOOK PLACE IN THE BOILER ROOM.
THE GHOST WAS TALKING TO US AND TALKING ABOUT THE CAMERA.
IT KNEW THAT WE WERE RECORDING WHAT WAS GOING ON.
I BELIEVE THAT THE "TURN IT OFF" EVP THAT THEY HAD FOUND IS DEFINITELY THE SPIRI OF THE HOMELESS MAN.
ALL THE OTHER EVPs THEY COLLECTED WERE A FEMALE'S VOICE.
AND THIS WAS THE ONE MALE VOICE THAT WE HAD.
WHEN YOU'RE RECORDING ALL THIS STUFF, YOU CAN'T AUDIBLY HEAR IT.
YOU HAVE TO BRING IT BACK IN AND GO THROUGH ALL THE EVIDENCE TO HEAR THIS STUFF.
THEN YOU GO BACK, AND YOU'RE GOING, "WOW, THIS WAS HAPPENING WHILE WE WERE STANDING THERE.
" THAT IS BY FAR THE CREEPIEST THING THAT'S EVER HAPPENED TO ME.
Ed: THIS EXPERIENCE HAS CHANGED MY LIFE.
I'M A BELIEVER NOW.
I HAVE TO LEARN TO LIVE WITH THE SPIRITS.
Zack: THIS EXPERIENCE DEFINITELY PROVED TO ME THAT SPIRITS DO EXIST AND THEY CAN COMMUNICATE WITH OUR WORLD.
THERE IS SOMETHING OUT THERE.
I CAN'T EXPLAIN IT.
I DON'T EVEN KNOW IF I WANT TO UNDERSTAND IT, BUT IT'S DEFINITELY THERE AND IT'S DEFINITELY VERY REAL.
Ed: NOW I HAVE TO SAY THAT THERE ARE GHOSTS.
IT'S COOL.
IT'S A HAUNTED HAUNTED HOUSE.
THIS IS NOT PRETEND NO MORE.
Blackwood: I WAS SHOCKED THAT SOMEBODY MAY HAVE BEEN THERE WATCHING US.
Smith: I THOUGHT, "WOW, THEY'RE FOLLOWING HER AROUND THE HOUSE.
" Blackwood: I HAD FELT SOMEBODY SIT ON THE EDGE OF THE MATTRESS.
Smith: I ABSOLUTELY BELIEVE THE WALKER-AMES HOUSE IS HAUNTED.
Smith: I THOUGHT, "WOW, THEY'RE FOLLOWING HER AROUND THE HOUSE.
" Blackwood: I HAD FELT SOMEBODY SIT ON THE EDGE OF THE MATTRESS.
AND THERE WAS NOBODY THERE.
Smith: MY GHOST STORY BEGAN WHEN I STARTED WORKING AS THE TOWN MANAGER IN PORT GAMBLE, WASHINGTON.
I'VE LIVED IN PORT GAMBLE 25 YEARS, AND OVER THE LAST 16 YEARS, I'VE BEEN IN CHARGE OF THE WALKER-AMES HOUSE.
THE WALKER-AMES HOUSE WAS ORIGINALLY BUILT IN 1888.
IT WAS BUIL AS THE MILL MANAGER'S HOUSE.
IT WAS THE MOST ELABORATE.
IT SA OVERLOOKING THE MILL SITE.
IT'S GO ITS OWN LITTLE CREEPINESS, BECAUSE IT'S GO A LOT OF NOOKS AND CRANNIES, A LOT OF DARK CORNERS.
JUST A VERY ODD-FEELING HOUSE MOST OF THE TIME.
OVER THE YEARS, THERE'S BEEN MANY REPORTS OF A WOMAN SEEN IN THE ATTIC.
SHE'S SEEN OUT OF THE NORTH WINDOW, BUT NOBODY SEES HER FACE -- JUST THE OUTLINE OF HER.
THE ATTIC LIGH WOULD COME ON AT NIGH WHEN I KNEW NOBODY WOULD BE THERE.
SO I'D GO OVER, TURN IT OFF.
AND WE MIGHT GO A COUPLE DAYS, AND THEN IT WOULD BE ON AGAIN.
I STARTED TO THINK, "WELL, MAYBE THERE'S SOMETHING GOING ON IN THE HOUSE.
" WE DECIDED WE NEEDED TO REACH OU AND FIND OUT WHAT WAS HAPPENING.
Blackwood: I'VE BEEN INVESTIGATING THE PARANORMAL NOW FOR ABOUT FIVE YEARS.
WHEN SHANA FIRST CONTACTED ME, SHE HAD TOLD ME SOME OF THE STORIES OF THE THINGS THAT WERE HAPPENING IN THE HOUSE.
SO WE WERE REALLY INTERESTED IN GETTING IN THERE TO INVESTIGATE.
Smith: WE USUALLY DO NOT PARTICIPATE IN THE INVESTIGATIONS, SO I HANDED OFF THE KEY, WISHED THEM LUCK, AND SAID I'D SEE THEM THE NEXT DAY WHEN THEY TURNED EVERYTHING BACK IN TO US.
Blackwood: WHEN WE FIRST ARRIVED FOR THE INVESTIGATION, WE DID A WALK-THROUGH.
WE THEN PROCEEDED TO SET UP CAMERAS AND AUDIO RECORDERS IN CERTAIN LOCATIONS OF THE HOUSE.
MYSELF AND ANOTHER TEAMMATE WERE RUNNING SOME AUDIO, AND WE WERE STANDING IN FRONT OF AN OLD FIREPLACE THAT HAS A MIRROR ABOVE IT.
AND I HAD SAID TO MY TEAMMATE, "WOW, WOULDN'T THAT BE REALLY STRANGE IF SOMEBODY APPEARED IN THE MIRROR?" WHEN I HEARD THAT ON THE AUDIO, I WAS SHOCKED.
IT WAS RATHER CREEPY KNOWING THAT SOMEBODY MAY HAVE BEEN THERE WATCHING US.
Smith: IT, TO ME, SHOWED SOME INTELLIGENCE THERE.
IT WAS ALSO KIND OF CREEPY, 'CAUSE I THOUGHT, "WOW, THEY'RE FOLLOWING HER AROUND THE HOUSE.
" Blackwood: AFTER INVESTIGATING THROUGHOU THE REST OF THE HOUSE, WE DECIDED TO GO UP TO THE ATTIC TO CHECK ON THE CAMERAS THAT WE HAD PLACED UP THERE.
THE ATTIC HAD A HEAVY FEELING, FELT LIKE YOU WERE BEING WATCHED.
I WOULDN'T GO UP THERE BY MYSELF.
I ALWAYS ASKED A TEAMMATE TO GO ALONG WITH ME BECAUSE I FELT UNCOMFORTABLE.
WHEN WE REVIEWED EVIDENCE FROM THE CAMERAS IN THE ATTIC, WE SAW A FLICKERING LIGH THAT DANCED ACROSS THE WINDOW.
IN FRONT OF THAT WINDOW IS A VERY SHEER CURTAIN, AND IT LOOKS ALMOST AS IF THAT LIGHT IS DANCING BETWEEN THE CURTAIN AND THE WINDOW.
Smith: THERE WAS NO LIGHTS AROUND.
Blackwood: WE TRIED DEBUNKING I WITH A LASER LIGH OR EVEN A FLASHLIGHT.
WE DROVE BY WITH LOW BEAMS, HIGH BEAMS, TWO DIRECTIONS, AND WE COULD NOT REPLICATE THAT SAME FLICKERING LIGH IN THE WINDOW.
ANOTHER PIECE OF EVIDENCE THAT WE CAPTURED IN THE ATTIC WAS A VIDEO SHOWING THE SAME WINDOW, AND IT LOOKS AS IF THERE'S SOMETHING DARK BEGINNING TO FORM.
Smith: IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S FORMING FROM THE BASE OF THE WINDOW, COMING UP IN FRONT OF THE WINDOW, FORMING INTO A PERSON.
Blackwood: BEFORE IT GETS INTO A COMPLETE SHAPE, IT SHOOTS UP INTO THE CEILING.
Smith: FIRST THOUGHT IS, "WHERE DID IT GO? IS IT COMING BACK?" I THOUGHT THAT WAS A LITTLE CREEPY FOR THE ATTIC.
THE LIGHT'S ONE THING, BU ACTUALLY SEEING SOMETHING FORM GIVES A WHOLE NOTHER DIMENSION UP THERE.
I FEEL THAT THE APPARITION CAPTURED ON VIDEO IS THE SAME SPIRI THAT PEOPLE HAVE SEEN OF THE WOMAN IN THE ATTIC.
AFTER SEEING THE APPARITION, I DON'T REALLY CARE TO GO TO THE ATTIC BY MYSELF ANYMORE.
Blackwood: WE GOT READY TO GO TO BED THAT NIGHT.
WE WERE UP ON THE SECOND FLOOR.
I PUT AN AIR MATTRESS IN THERE TO LAY ON.
WE SET UP A NIGHT-VISION CAMERA IN THE ROOM WITH US, AND MY TEAMMATE, SHE SLEP ON THE FLOOR NEXT TO ME.
I WOKE AROUND 2:00 IN THE MORNING BECAUSE I HAD FELT SOMEBODY SIT ON THE EDGE OF THE MATTRESS.
I LAID THERE ABSOLUTELY FROZEN.
TRIED TO LISTEN, DIDN'T HEAR ANY FOOTSTEPS.
I TRIED TO ADJUST MY EYES TO THE DARKNESS.
AND I LOOKED, AND THERE WAS NOBODY THERE.
I FINALLY WOKE MY TEAMMATE AND TOLD HER WHAT HAD HAPPENED.
WHEN WE WENT THROUGH AND REVIEWED THE VIDEO, I COULDN'T BELIEVE WHAT WE HAD CAPTURED.
YOU SEE AN ORB THAT COMES SHOOTING ACROSS THE ROOM, AND YOU SEE THE INDEN ON THE MATTRESS.
Smith: YOU SEE THE CORNER OF THE MATTRESS COMPRESS OR SINK DOWN LIKE SOMEBODY HAS SAT ON THE BED, YET THERE'S NOBODY THERE.
AND THEN YOU SEE THE CORNER SPRING BACK UP.
Blackwood: AFTER I REVIEWED THAT VIDEO, I REALIZED THAT WHAT I'D FEL WAS ACTUALLY WHAT HAPPENED.
SOMETHING, SOMEBODY HAD SAT DOWN ON THE MATTRESS, SOMEBODY THAT WASN'T FROM OUR WORLD.
Smith: THE HAIR ON THE BACK OF MY NECKS STOOD UP, I GOT GOOSE BUMPS.
WE WATCHED I ABOUT TWO OR THREE TIMES, AND IT MAKES YOU NOT WANT TO GO INTO THAT PART OF THE HOUSE ANYMORE.
Blackwood: THE EVIDENCE PROVES TO ME THAT THERE ARE SPIRITS WITHIN THE WALKER-AMES HOUSE.
Smith: WHEN I'M BY MYSELF AT THE HOUSE, IT MAKES ME AWARE THAT I REALLY MAY NOT BE ALONE.
Blackwood: I DON'T THINK THAT I WOULD SPEND THE NIGHT ALONE AT THE LOCATION.
Smith: AFTER SEEING THE VIDEO OF THE BED AND LIGHTS FLICKERING AND THE APPARITION UP IN THE ATTIC, I ABSOLUTELY BELIEVE THE WALKER-AMES HOUSE IS HAUNTED.
Applegate: THEY'RE LETTING US KNOW THAT THEY'RE THERE.
Tackett: IT'S DEFINITELY PARANORMAL.
Applegate: YOU CAN SEE A FACE, AND IT HAS GOTTEN MORE DOMINANT.
I WANTED TO RUN, BECAUSE, OBVIOUSLY, SOMETHING DID NOT WANT ME THERE.
Tackett: IT JUST SCARED US TO DEATH.
Applegate: THEY'RE LETTING US KNOW THAT THEY'RE THERE.
YOU CAN SEE A FACE.
Tackett: IT JUST SCARED US TO DEATH.
Applegate: MY GHOST STORY BEGAN WHEN I STARTED WORKING AT A TAVERN THAT TURNED OUT TO BE HAUNTED.
I STARTED WORKING AT MR.
T's ABOUT TWO YEARS AGO.
IT IS A NEIGHBORHOOD BAR LOCATED IN COVINGTON, KENTUCKY.
ABOUT A MONTH AFTER I HAD STARTED WORKING THERE, I WAS JUST OPENING UP, AND I SEEN A DARK SHADOW WALK IN THE BACK ROOM FROM THE POOL TABLE TO THE BASEMENT DOOR.
SO, I THOUGHT MY EYES WERE PLAYING TRICKS ON ME OR SOMETHING, BUT IT REPEATEDLY HAPPENED TO WHERE OTHER PEOPLE HAD ALSO SEEN IT.
ONE DAY, I WAS COUNTING MONEY, NOT PAYING MUCH ATTENTION.
IT FELT LIKE SOMETHING HAD TAPPED MY BACK.
SO I LOOK OVER MY SHOULDER, AND THERE'S NOTHING THERE.
WELL, THEN IT WAS A TUG OF MY SWEATER, AND SOMETHING BATTED MY HAIR OFF OF MY SHOULDERS.
THERE WAS NO WAY ANYBODY COULD HAVE REACHED ACROSS THE BAR AND DONE IT.
IT JUST HAPPENED ON ITS OWN.
WE HAVE VARIOUS THINGS THA HAVE GONE ON WITH ELECTRONICS.
ONE OF THE SERVERS' CELLPHONES CHARGES ON ITS OWN.
Man: IT'S NOT PLUGGED IN.
SHOW WHERE YOU WOULD NORMALLY CHARGE IT AT.
RIGHT THERE ON THE BOTTOM.
Applegate: BUT IT ONLY DOES THAT THERE.
AND SHE'S ON HER SECOND CELLPHONE, SO IT'S NOT THE CELLPHONE.
IT'S HER.
LIKE, IT TARGETS HER ENERGY ONLY.
ON TOP OF THAT, MY PURSE KEEPS FALLING REPEATEDLY ON THE FLOOR, AS IF SOMETHING PICKS IT UP AND JUST DROPS IT.
LINDA TACKETT IS ONE OF THE OWNERS OF MR.
T's TAVERN.
WHEN I FIRST TOLD LINDA ABOU EVERYTHING THAT WAS GOING ON, SHE WAS IN COMPLETE DISBELIEF.
Tackett: I BOUGHT MR.
T's SEVEN YEARS AGO WITH MY SON.
OUR LAST NAME BEGINS WITH "T", SO IT JUST SEEMED APPROPRIATE.
RIGHT AWAY, PEOPLE WERE TELLING US IT'S HAUNTED.
WELL, I THOUGHT, "NO, THERE'S NO WAY.
I DON'T BELIEVE IN GHOSTS, SO THAT'S JUST NOT POSSIBLE.
" I HAD TO EXPERIENCE IT MYSELF.
Applegate: THERE WAS A DAY WHERE ONE OF THE SERVERS WENT DOWN INTO THE BASEMEN TO FLIP THE BREAKER BECAUSE THE POWER HAD WENT OUT.
SHE SEEN A BLACK FIGURE THAT CAME STRAIGHT TO HER, PASSED THROUGH HER, AND SHE FELT LIKE SHE COULDN'T CATCH HER BREATH OR LIKE SOMETHING HAD JUST STABBED HER.
AND IMMEDIATELY, TEARS JUST RUSHED DOWN HER FACE.
I HAD SENT MY BROTHER DOWN INTO THE BASEMENT TO TAKE PICTURES.
YOU CAN SEE THE REFLECTION OF A FACE IN ONE OF THEM.
EVEN TALKING ABOUT I FREAKS ME OU BECAUSE SHE HASN'T BEEN RIGH SINCE THAT WHOLE INCIDENT.
Tackett: IT WAS DEFINITELY PARANORMAL.
IT'S SCARY.
IT'S SCARY.
I DECIDED TO BRING A TEAM OF PARANORMAL PEOPLE IN TO INVESTIGATE.
Applegate: WHEN THE PARANORMAL TEAM ASKED LINDA AND MYSELF TO GO DOWN IN THE BASEMENT, I FELT NERVOUS.
I FELT FRIGHTENED.
Tackett: GOING DOWN THE STEPS ITSELF IS SCARY BECAUSE IT'S AN OLD BUILDING.
IT'S OVER 100 YEARS OLD.
THE STAIRWAY ITSELF IS VERY NARROW.
THE STEPS ARE CROOKED.
Applegate: YOU JUST GE A REALLY STRANGE ENERGY WHEN YOU GO DOWN THERE.
YOU FEEL THREATENED.
Tackett: YOUR HAIR RAISES ON YOUR ARMS.
Applegate: I FELT LIKE SOMETHING DIDN'T WANT ME THERE OR SOMETHING WAS FOLLOWING ME OR CONSTANTLY WATCHING ME AS I WENT DOWN THERE.
Tackett: THE PARANORMAL TEAM HAS THIS BOX THAT THEY CALL A "SPIRIT BOX.
" THEY PUT A FLASHLIGH ON THE TABLE, AND THEY SAID, "SPIRITS, AT THE COUNT OF THREE, TOUCH THE FLASHLIGHT, AND IT'LL GO ON.
" Man: 1, 2, 3.
Tackett: AND THE SPIRIT BOX SAID AND I SAID, "DID THAT THING JUST SAY 'FOUR'?" Applegate: IT WAS SHOCKING.
IT GIVES ME GOOSE BUMPS EVERY TIME I TALK ABOUT IT.
IT'S NOT COINCIDENTAL.
IT WAS DEFINITELY A RESPONSE TO THE INVESTIGATORS.
Tackett: MY REACTION TO THAT WAS, "I CANNOT BE A NON-BELIEVER ANYMORE.
"THERE'S SOMETHING GOING ON HERE, AND IT'S SOMETHING REALLY SPOOKY AND SCARY.
" AND THEN YOU COULD HEAR THE SOUND OF A BELL.
Man: CAN YOU MAKE A NOISE FOR US? Tackett: I COULDN'T BELIEVE WHAT I HEARD.
MR.
T's HAS A HISTORY OF ORGANIZED CRIME.
THERE WAS A LOT OF GAMBLING THAT WENT ON THERE.
WHEN WE FIRST BOUGHT THE PLACE, THERE WAS A BELL THAT WAS ON THE END OF THE BAR.
WE THREW IT AWAY, BUT THE PURPOSE OF THE BELL WAS TO ALERT THE GAMBLERS WHEN THE COPS CAME IN.
WELL, THE BELL ON THE EVP SOUNDED EXACTLY LIKE THE BELL THAT WE REMOVED FROM THE END OF THE BAR.
THERE'S NO EXPLANATION FOR THAT.
Applegate: THE BELL INSINUATES, TO ME, THAT SOME OF THE GAMBLERS ARE STILL IN THE BUILDING AND THEY'RE LETTING US KNOW THAT THEY'RE THERE.
WHEN ALL THIS WAS HAPPENING, MY DAUGHTER DECIDED TO TAKE RANDOM PICTURES TO SEE IF SHE COULD CAPTURE ANYTHING.
THERE IS A PICTURE, AND OVER IN THE RIGHT SIDE, THERE IS THIS BIG, DARK MASS.
AND IN THE SECOND PHOTO, YOU CAN SEE WHERE IT HAS CHANGED AND IT HAS GOTTEN DARKER, MORE DOMINANT.
I WAS PRETTY FREAKED OUT, BECAUSE I THOUGH THAT POSSIBLY IT'S THE SHADOW THAT I KEEP SEEING WALKING IN THE BACK ROOM.
THE INVESTIGATORS HAD ASKED ME TO ASK DIRECT QUESTIONS TO WHATEVER IT IS THAT'S HAUNTING US.
ONE OF MY QUESTIONS WERE, "DO YOU COME UPSTAIRS TO VISIT US?" WITH THAT, I GOT, "DIE.
" I HAVE NEVER BEEN SO SCARED.
AT THAT POINT, I WANTED TO RUN BACK UP THE STAIRS AND OUT OF THE BUILDING AND NEVER STEP FOOT IN THERE AGAIN, BECAUSE, OBVIOUSLY, SOMETHING DID NOT WANT ME THERE.
Tackett: THAT WAS EXTREMELY INTENSE.
I WANTED TO GET OUT.
BUT THE SPIRITS WEREN'T THROUGH, AND I WASN'T PREPARED FOR WHAT HAPPENED NEXT.
THE FINAL STRAW WAS WHEN THE PARANORMAL TEAM SPOKE TO THE SPIRI AND SAID, "MOVE SOMETHING.
TOUCH ONE OF US.
" IT WASN'T ONE MINUTE LATER, A MOP THAT WAS STANDING AT THE TOP OF THE STEPS CAME FLYING DOWN THE STEPS.
[ CLATTERING .]
Applegate: IT'S ALMOST LIKE I WAS THROWN WITH SO MUCH FORCE, IT SOUNDED LIKE A TON OF BRICKS WERE TOSSED DOWN THE STAIRS.
IT WAS SECONDS WITHIN HITTING US.
IT DIDN'T HURT ANYBODY, BUT IT WAS CLOSE.
Tackett: IT JUST SCARED US TO DEATH.
THAT'S WHEN CHRISTINA SAID, "I'M GETTING OUT OF HERE.
" SO WE LEFT.
Applegate: I THINK THEY WERE TRYING TO TELL US THAT THEY WERE DONE WITH US PLAYING IN THEIR TERRITORY.
IT WAS LIKE A WARNING TO LEAVE THEIR AREA.
Tackett: THE EXPERIENCES THAT I'VE HAD AT MR.
T's HAVE BROUGHT ME FROM A NON-BELIEVER TO BELIEVING.
THE HAIR FLIPPING, TUGGING ON A SWEATER, THROWING LITTLE THINGS -- THERE'S TOO MANY THINGS THAT I CAN'T EXPLAIN.
SO I BELIEVE SOMETHING SUPERNATURAL IS THERE.
Applegate: ALTHOUGH I CONTINUE TO WORK AT MR.
T's, I'M EXTREMELY NERVOUS.
IT HAS AFFECTED MY WORK DRASTICALLY, ACTUALLY, BECAUSE I WILL NO GO TO THE BASEMENT.
I WILL NOT STEP FOOT IN THE BACK ROOM WHERE THE SHADOW CROSSES.
IT'S FRIGHTENING TO KNOW THAT THEY'RE ALWAYS THERE, THEY'RE ALWAYS AROUND ME.
Turk: THERE WAS A LITTLE GIRL'S FACE IN THE TV IMAGE.
IN A MIST WAS A FACE.
Bonang: IT WAS A SPIRIT, AND IT WASN'T A SPIRI THAT WAS WELCOME.
Turk: THERE WAS A LITTLE GIRL'S FACE IN THE TV IMAGE.
I SNAPPED PICTURES OF A TREE.
IN A MIST WAS A FACE.
Bonang: AND IT WASN'T A SPIRI THAT WAS WELCOME.
Turk: MY GHOST STORY BEGAN WHEN THE SPIRIT OF MY HUSBAND CAME BACK TO OUR HOME.
ABOUT THREE MONTHS AFTER MY HUSBAND DIED FROM A MASSIVE CORONARY, THAT'S WHEN I STARTED GETTING THESE STRANGE SENSATIONS.
MILES WAS THE KIND OF MAN THA EVERY MAN SHOULD STRIVE TO BE.
HE WAS KIND.
HE WAS HONEST, TO A FAULT.
BECAUSE I MISSED MY HUSBAND SO MUCH, I DECIDED TO PUT AS MANY OF HIS IMAGES AROUND MY HOUSE AS I COULD.
AND I'D LIGHT CANDLES FOR HIM.
Bonang: MY AUN WAS EXTREMELY DEVASTATED.
Turk: I JUST KEPT PUTTING ALL OF HIS LOVE LETTERS AND HIS FLOWERS IN THESE MEMORIAL BOOKS.
STRANGE THINGS STARTED HAPPENING NOT TOO LONG AFTER HIS DEATH.
Bonang: WHEN WE WOULD TALK ABOUT UNCLE MILES, THE CLOCK IN THE LIVING ROOM THAT NEVER WORKED WOULD CHIME, AS IF IT HAD WORKED FOR YEARS.
Turk: IT DIDN'T TAKE TOO LONG TO REALIZE THAT IT WASN'T HAPPENING ANY OTHER TIME BUT WHEN MILES' NAME WAS MENTIONED.
I ACTUALLY STARTED THINKING THAT MAYBE MILES WAS TRYING TO LET ME KNOW THAT HE WAS STILL THERE WITH ME.
I WAS STUNNED.
LATER THAT NIGHT, I WENT INTO BED.
AND, AS USUAL, I WAS CRYING.
ALL OF A SUDDEN, I FEL THE SIDE OF THE BED GO DOWN AND SOMETHING CLIMB OVER ME AND GIVE ME A HUG.
AND THEN IT HIT ME -- HE'S TRYING TO COMFORT ME NOW JUST LIKE HE DID WHEN HE WAS ALIVE.
Bonang: WITH MY AUNT DOROTHY, SHE NEVER SAYS SOMETHING UNLESS IT'S REAL.
Turk: THAT ONE EXPERIENCE MADE MY GRIEF SO MUCH LESS.
ANOTHER THING THAT HAPPENED THAT REALLY CEMENTED THE FAC THAT MILES WAS TRYING TO GET THROUGH TO ME WAS ONE NIGHT, WHILE I WAS WATCHING TELEVISION, I STARTED GETTING GOOSE BUMPS.
AND THAT'S A SIGN THAT, "OKAY, PICK UP THE CAMERA, START SNAPPING.
" I SNAPPED PICTURES IN EVERY DIRECTION.
BUT WHEN I SNAPPED OVER BY THE CHAIR THAT MY HUSBAND DIED IN I GOT AN ORB GOING AROUND THE DOORJAMB AND INTO OUR BEDROOM.
WHEN I LOOKED AT THE PHOTO, I THOUGHT THAT THAT WAS MILES BECAUSE IT WAS AROUND THE TIME THAT HE USED TO GO TO BED.
LATER, I SNAPPED ANOTHER PHOTO OF AN ORB ON THE CEILING, WHICH I BELIEVE WAS ALSO MY HUSBAND'S SPIRIT.
IT WAS SO COMFORTING.
Bonang: I FEEL THAT BRINGING SO MUCH ATTENTION TO UNCLE MILES WAS LIKE AN INVITATION TO OTHER SPIRITS TO SHOW UP.
THINGS REALLY STARTED TO GET WEIRD WHEN MY AUNT AND I WERE WATCHING A DOCUMENTARY ON TV.
WHILE WE WERE WATCHING, I HEARD, "SQUEAK, SQUEAK.
" [ DOOR CREAKS .]
THE DOOR OPENED AND CLOSED.
WELL, THEN I STARTED GETTING REALLY NERVOUS.
I JUST QUIETLY SAID TO MY AUNT, "WATCH OVER BY THIS WAY.
" Turk: AND THEN IT SLOWLY OPENED AGAIN.
[ DOOR CREAKS .]
I WASN'T SURE IF THAT WAS MY HUSBAND.
I HOPED IT WAS MY HUSBAND.
Bonang: I WAS READY TO PACK UP MY BAG AND LEAVE.
I WAS TERRIFIED.
Turk: ONE OF THE EARLIEST EXAMPLES OF OTHER SPIRITS IN MY HOME WAS THE NIGHT I HAD TO TAKE A PHOTOGRAPH OF A TREE THAT HAD BEEN HIT BY LIGHTNING FOR MY INSURANCE COMPANY.
ALL OF THE PHOTOS I TOOK WERE OF THE TREE EXCEPT FOR ONE.
AND IN THAT PHOTOGRAPH, IN A MIST, WAS A FACE.
THAT REALLY SCARED ME.
I HAD BEEN TALKING TO A NEIGHBOR, AND I SHOWED HIM THE PHOTO.
HE SAID THAT IT ACTUALLY LOOKED LIKE THE ORIGINAL BUILDER OF THE HOUSE WHO HAD PASSED AWAY MANY YEARS BEFORE.
I COULDN'T BELIEVE WHAT I SAW.
ONE NIGHT, I WAS EXTREMELY TIRED.
SO I RENTED A MOVIE, PUT IT ON, LAID ON THE COUCH, AND IMMEDIATELY FELL ASLEEP.
HOURS LATER, I WOKE UP TO THE STRONGES GOOSE BUMPS I'VE HAD EVER.
SO I GOT MY CAMERA, AND I STARTED SNAPPING PICTURES.
[ CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKING .]
AND I PUT THEM UP THE NEXT DAY ON THE COMPUTER AND THERE WAS A LITTLE GIRL'S FACE IN THE TV IMAGE.
I KNOW I SHOULD HAVE BEEN AFRAID, BUT I WASN'T.
SHE WAS A CHILD, AND YOU COULD SEE HER BIG EYES.
Bonang: WHEN I SAW THE PICTURE OF THE LITTLE GIRL IN THE TELEVISION, IT WAS KIND OF UNNERVING.
WHAT COULD HAPPEN NEXT? Turk: THERE WAS ONE NIGHT I HAD A VERY FRIGHTENING EXPERIENCE WITH THAT SAME TELEVISION.
I WAS WOKEN UP AGAIN BY THE GOOSE BUMPS.
SO I STARTED SNAPPING PICTURES, AS NORMAL.
MOST OF THEM HAD JUST THE TELEVISION SE WITH THE BLACK SCREEN.
BUT THERE WAS ONE THAT HAD THIS FACE, ALMOST LOOKED LIKE IT WAS GRAINING OUT.
Bonang: THE FACE ALMOST LOOKS DEMONIC.
TO ME, IT FEELS LIKE A NEGATIVE SPIRIT, LIKE A STRANGER WHO COMES INTO YOUR HOME AND YOU GET BAD VIBES FROM THEM.
Turk: I DIDN'T KNOW WHO OR WHAT THAT WAS.
ALL I KNEW WAS THAT IT WAS SOMETHING I DIDN'T WANT IN MY HOUSE.
I GOT THAT FEAR FEELING BACK AGAIN.
Bonang: ONE OF THE MOS TERRIFYING NIGHTS HAPPENED WHEN I WAS HAVING A SLEEPOVER AT MY AUNT'S AND MY GODDAUGHTER WAS LYING IN THE BED BESIDE ME.
ALL OF A SUDDEN, SHE LOOKED ABOVE MY HEAD.
SHE SAID, "NO, DEBBIE! NO, DEBBIE!" AND I SAID, "WHAT'S THE MATTER?" "NO, DEBBIE! NO, DEBBIE!" SHE SAID, "BAD MAN!" AND I KNEW THEN AND THERE IT WAS A SPIRIT, AND IT WASN'T A SPIRI THAT WAS WELCOME.
SO I SAID WITH ALL MY MIGHT "LEAVE HER ALONE.
" "DON'T LET HER KNOW YOU'RE HERE.
"DON'T LET HER SEE YOU.
WHATEVER YOU HAVE TO DO, YOU DO IT, BUT LEAVE US ALONE.
" I WRAPPED MY ARMS AROUND HER TO LET HER KNOW SHE WAS SAFE.
AND THAT'S WHEN THE POUNDING ON THE WALL STARTED.
AND YOU WOULD JUST DOZE OFF, AND HE WOULD POUND ON THE WALL AGAIN.
I'M SCARED.
I WAS UP AT 5:00 IN THE MORNING BECAUSE THERE WAS NO WAY THAT I COULD SLEEP ANYMORE, BUT MY AUN STROLLED OUT OF HER BEDROOM, WHO'S AN INSOMNIAC, WHO NEVER SLEEPS, AND SAID, "OH, I HAD THE BEST SLEEP.
I FEEL SO GOOD.
" AND THEN AND THERE, I KNEW UNCLE MILES' SPIRI HAD PROTECTED HER FOR THE NIGHT.
Turk: I REALLY DON'T THINK I WANTED THEM SPENDING THE NIGHT.
Bonang: WE WERE TERRIFIED.
Turk: I EVENTUALLY GOT TO BELIEVE THAT MOST OF THESE SPIRITS WERE COMING TO ME BECAUSE I COULD VALIDATE THEM.
I FEEL THE PRESENCE OF MILES THERE, AND I'M SO AT HOME IN THAT HOUSE.
Bonang: THIS WHOLE EXPERIENCE HAS CHANGED ME IN THE SENSE THAT I KNOW THAT GHOSTS EXIST.
THEY HAVE THE CAPABILITY OF MANIPULATING OUR PHYSICAL WORLD.
SPIRITS WILL COME.
Roberts: THE FIRST THING OU OF MY MOUTH WAS, "HOLY CRAP.
" Castillo: WE WERE COMPLETELY SHOCKED.
Roberts: "HE'S REALLY HERE.
" Castillo: THAT'S WHEN I WAS REALLY TERRIFIED.
I'VE NEVER FELT THAT BEFORE.
I WAS GETTING REALLY SCARED TO BE ALONE.
Roberts: IT BLEW ME AWAY.
Roberts: THE FIRST THING OU OF MY MOUTH WAS, "HOLY CRAP.
" "HE'S REALLY HERE.
" Castillo: THAT'S WHEN I WAS REALLY TERRIFIED.
I'VE NEVER FELT THAT BEFORE.
I WAS GETTING REALLY SCARED TO BE ALONE.
Roberts: MY GHOST STORY BEGAN WHEN I ENTERED THE HOME OF SALLY GARZA IN SACRAMENTO, CALIFORNIA.
I GOT INTO PARANORMAL INVESTIGATING, BECAUSE WHEN I WAS A CHILD, I STARTED READING THESE BOOKS ON THE PARANORMAL.
AND I DID SOME INVESTIGATION ON MY OWN, AND I'VE BEEN A PARANORMAL INVESTIGATOR EVER SINCE.
SALLY GARZA CONTACTED ME, AND SHE WAS CONCERNED BECAUSE SO MUCH ACTIVITY WAS HAPPENING IN HER HOUSE, AND IT SEEMED LIKE IT WAS FOCUSED ON HER DAUGHTER.
Castillo: WHEN WE FIRST MOVED IN TO OUR NEW HOUSE, MY ROOM WAS DONE FIRST.
ALL MY STUFF WAS MOVED IN, SO I WAS REARRANGING MY OWN ROOM.
AND I WAS JUST THERE BY MYSELF.
AND THAT'S WHEN ALL THE STUFF STARTED HAPPENING.
I WAS JUST SITTING THERE JUST GETTING MY STUFF TOGETHER, AND THEN THAT'S WHEN I FEL THE BREATHING ON ME.
I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO THINK BECAUSE NOBODY WAS THERE.
SO I WAS LIKE, "WHAT COULD BE CAUSING IT?" NO BREEZE, NOTHING.
I'VE NEVER FELT THAT BEFORE.
IT WAS JUST REALLY SCARY FOR ME.
I WOULD BE IN MY ROOM, AND I WOULD PEEK OU 'CAUSE I WOULD HEAR CREAKING IN THE HALLWAY.
AND I'D BE LIKE, "WELL, NOBODY'S HOME.
WHO COULD BE WALKING DOWN THE HALLWAY?" AND I WOULD THINK SOMEONE'S COMING IN, BUT IT WAS NOBODY.
THAT'S WHEN I WAS REALLY TERRIFIED.
I WAS, LIKE, GETTING REALLY SCARED TO BE ALONE.
WHEN I TOLD MY MOM ALL THE THINGS THAT WERE HAPPENING TO ME, THAT'S WHEN SHE HAD CALLED PAUL TO INVESTIGATE THE HOUSE.
Roberts: ONE OF THE WAYS THAT WE DO AN INVESTIGATION IS I BRING MY TEAM IN THERE AND DO AN INITIAL BRIEFING.
WE TALK ABOU THE HISTORY OF THE HOUSE, WHAT POSSIBLY COULD BE GOING ON.
AND SALLY GARZA EXPLAINED TO ME THAT ON THE FIREPLACE, THE MANTEL, IS AN URN.
AND IN THAT URN IS HER FATHER.
SO, POSSIBLY, GRANDFATHER'S TRYING TO CONVEY A MESSAGE TO THE FAMILY, AND HE DOES CERTAIN LITTLE THINGS IN THE HOUSE TO GET THEIR ATTENTION.
ANOTHER POSSIBILITY, AND WHA SALLY WAS CONCERNED ABOUT, IS WHAT IF MAYBE A PORTAL OPENED IN THAT HOME AND OTHER ENTITIES WHO ARE NOT WELCOME IN THAT HOME ARE CAUSING TROUBLE? ARE THEY A THREAT TO THE FAMILY? AND THAT'S WHAT I WANTED TO CHECK INTO.
AS MY INVESTIGATORS WERE WALKING THROUGH THE HOUSE, STARTED TAKING PHOTOS, AND EVERYTHING ELSE, I SAID, "LET'S MAKE SURE THAT WE COVER THE GARAGE AREA WHERE THE SHADOW FIGURE WAS SEEN.
" WHEN WE ENTERED THE GARAGE, A SERIES OF PHOTOS WERE TAKEN IN THERE.
ONE OF THE MOST UNUSUAL PHOTOS THAT WE TOOK IN THAT HOUSE WAS WHAT I CALL A "DESIGNER ORB.
" A DESIGNER ORB, IF YOU ENHANCE IT, SOMETIMES YOU CAN MAKE OUT A FACE.
WELL, WITH THIS DESIGNER ORB, WE ENHANCED IT.
AND YOU CAN ACTUALLY SEE A FACE IN IT.
WHEN I SHOWED SABRINA, SHE LOOKED AT IT, AND SHE GOES, "THAT'S ME.
" AND SHE TAKES A PICTURE OF HERSELF, AND SHE COMPARES IT.
AND SHE GOES, "THAT IS ME.
" Castillo: WHEN PAUL SHOWED ME THE PICTURE AND IT HAD MATCHED UP WITH MY BABY PICTURE, I THOUGHT IT WAS AMAZING.
LIKE, I DIDN'T THINK THAT WAS ACTUALLY POSSIBLE.
Roberts: I SAID, "WHY WOULD A DESIGNER ORB HAVE AN IMAGE OF SABRINA IN THE ORB?" THEN I STARTED THINKING, "OKAY, IF IT'S THE GRANDFATHER, "THEN POSSIBLY HE'S TRYING TO SEND HER THIS PICTURE OF HERSELF "WHEN SHE WAS A LITTLE GIRL, SAYING, 'THAT'S HOW I REMEMBER YOU.
'" AS MY INVESTIGATORS WERE WALKING THROUGH THE HOUSE, TAKING PICTURES, I SAID, "LET'S FOCUS WHERE THE URN'S AT.
" IT'S IN THE LIVING ROOM ON THE FIREPLACE MANTEL.
THE VERY FIRST PHOTO THAT THEY TOOK, HERE'S THIS ORB NEAR THE URN.
THE NEXT PHOTO THEY TOOK IS A SHADOW NOW BY THE URN.
THE GRANDFATHER'S TRYING TO REALLY CONVEY A MESSAGE -- "HEY, I'M HERE, AND I'M NEXT TO MY URN.
" Castillo: WHEN I SAW THE PHOTOS, I WAS MORE FREAKED OU THAN ANYTHING, 'CAUSE I WAS STILL KIND OF NERVOUS, 'CAUSE I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT MY GRANDFATHER WAS TRYING TO TELL ME.
Roberts: AFTER WE WENT THROUGH ALL THE EVIDENCE, I SAID, "OKAY, WE DO HAVE SOME ANOMALIES IN OUR PHOTOGRAPHS, BUT IT'S INCONCLUSIVE.
" Castillo: ME AND MY MOM WERE KIND OF NERVOUS ABOUT WHAT ELSE IT COULD BE OR WHAT EXACTLY HE WAS TRYING TO TELL US.
SO WE KIND OF WANTED MORE EVIDENCE OF IT BEING MY GRANDPA AND NOT ANYTHING ELSE.
Roberts: SO, I WAS KIND OF CONCERNED ABOUT THAT.
AND I SAID, "SABRINA, DON'T WORRY.
"WE'LL CONTINUE WITH THE INVESTIGATION, AND I'LL SEND TWO INVESTIGATORS OVER.
" MY TWO TEAM MEMBERS, SHANNON McCABE AND SHARI ARESTA, ARRIVED AT THE HOUSE.
Castillo: I WAS REALLY HOPING THEY WOULD FIND SOMETHING SAYING IT WAS MY GRANDPA.
Roberts: SO SHARI WENT INTO ONE ROOM, AND SHANNON WENT INTO ANOTHER ROOM.
SHANNON IS WORKING ON THE EVPs.
SHE CONTACTS ME ON THE PHONE.
SHE PUTS ME ON SPEAKERPHONE.
SHE PLAYS IT BACK.
IT SAYS, "HE LIES.
" IT BLEW ME AWAY.
THE FIRST THING OUT OF MY MOUTH WAS, "HOLY CRAP.
HE'S REALLY HERE.
" SHARI, MANY ATTEMPTS, OVER AND OVER AGAIN, AND SHE WASN'T GETTING ANYTHING.
THEN, FINALLY, IT HAPPENED.
THE VOICE ON THE RECORDER SAYS, "IT'S ME.
" WHEN I HEARD THAT EVP, INSTANTLY I THOUGHT, "IT WAS TO BE THE GRANDFATHER.
WHO ELSE COULD IT BE?" Castillo: WHEN PAUL SHOWED ME THE EVP, ME AND MY MOM LOOKED AT EACH OTHER, AND WE WERE COMPLETELY SHOCKED.
'CAUSE THAT WAS THE FIRST TIME I KNEW THAT IT WAS MY GRANDFATHER, AND I WAS MORE RELIEVED THAN ANYTHING.
Roberts: I REALLY FEEL LIKE THIS INVESTIGATION WAS A SUCCESS.
AND WE DID GE SOME KIND OF VALIDATION THAT THERE IS DEFINITELY A HAUNTING AT THE SALLY GARZA HOME.
Castillo: AFTER KNOWING IT WAS MY GRANDFATHER, I WAS COMFORTABLE TO BE ALONE.
IT FELT GOOD JUST TO NOT BE SCARED.
I WASN'T REALLY A BELIEVER UNTIL EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENED IN MY HOUSE -- THE INVESTIGATION, HEARING THE EVPs, JUST EVERYTHING MADE ME A BELIEVER.
WHEN WE REVIEWED THE VIDEO, WE SAW AN ORB COME SHOOTING ACROSS THE ROOM.
YOU SEE THE INDEN ON THE MATTRESS.
THERE ARE SPIRITS WITHIN THE WALKER-AMES HOUSE.
Zack: THEY SET IT IN THE CORNER, HAD IN THE "OFF" POSITION.
I WAS IN COMPLETE DISBELIEF THAT I WAS TALKING TO SOMEBODY THAT IS TURNING THIS THING ON AND OFF.
THERE IS SOMETHING OUT THERE.
I CAN'T EXPLAIN IT.
I DON'T EVEN KNOW IF I WANT TO UNDERSTAND IT.
IT'S DEFINITELY VERY REAL.
Turk: I SNAPPED PICTURES IN EVERY DIRECTION.
BUT WHEN I SNAPPED OVER BY THE CHAIR THAT MY HUSBAND DIED IN, I GOT AN ORB GOING AROUND THE DOORJAMB AND INTO OUR BEDROOM.
MILES WAS TRYING TO LET ME KNOW THAT HE WAS STILL THERE WITH ME.
I MISSED MY HUSBAND SO MUCH.
Roberts: THE FIRST THING OU OF MY MOUTH WAS, "HOLY CRAP.
" YOU CAN ACTUALLY SEE A FACE IN IT.
Castillo: ME AND MY MOM LOOKED AT EACH OTHER, AND WE WERE COMPLETELY SHOCKED.
Roberts: SHE LOOKED AT IT, AND SHE GOES, "THAT'S ME.
" Castillo: I'VE NEVER FELT THAT BEFORE.
IT WAS REALLY SCARY FOR ME.
Applegate: I WANTED TO RUN, BECAUSE, OBVIOUSLY, SOMETHING DID NOT WANT ME THERE.
Tackett: THAT WAS EXTREMELY INTENSE.
JUST SCARED US TO DEATH.
Ed: THE SPIRIT JUST SAID, "E-E-E-ED.
" THAT SCARED ME.
Zack: I SAY, "TURN THE LIGHT ON!" AND THE LIGHT TURNS ON ON THE OTHER END OF THE ROOM.
THIS IS CRAZY RIGHT NOW.
Ed: MY GHOST STORY BEGAN WHEN I OPENED A HAUNTED ATTRACTION IN DOWNTOWN PONTIAC, MICHIGAN.
ME AND MY BROTHER ARE CO-OWNERS OF EREBUS.
EREBUS IS A HAUNTED HOUSE, HAUNTED ATTRACTION.
THE BUILDING'S 100,000 SQUARE FEET.
IT WAS VACANT FOR 40 YEARS.
IN THE PROCESS OF BUILDING IT, WE TORE WALLS DOWN.
WE FOUND A PETRIFIED CA IN ONE WALL THAT THEY BUILT.
AND AS WE STARTED DOING THIS, CERTAIN THINGS HAPPENED.
HEARING PIPES CREAK, AND THEN YOU GO AND CUT THE PIPES OUT, AND YOU'RE STILL HEARING PIPES CREAK.
YOU KNOW, FOOTSTEPS.
YOU JUST KIND OF BLOW THAT OFF.
YOU JUST ASSUME IT'S THE SETTLING OF THE BUILDING.
I ACTUALLY SOLD MY HOUSE TO BUY THIS PLACE BECAUSE NO BANK WAS GONNA GIVE US A LOAN TO BUILD A HAUNTED HOUSE.
NOW I ACTUALLY HAVE A PERMANENT RESIDENCE THERE.
I HAVE A LOF UP ON THE THIRD FLOOR.
AS THE PEOPLE ACTUALLY COME INTO THE BUILDING [ INDISTINCT TALKING .]
WE START ON THE SECOND FLOOR.
WE GO UP STAIRS AND DOWN RAMPS.
WE PUT THEM THROUGH A MAZE ON THE SECOND FLOOR [ SCREAMING .]
TAKE THEM UP TO THE THIRD FLOOR [ SCREAMING .]
AND THEN WE WORK THEM DOWN A RAMP BACK TO THE FIRST FLOOR, AND THEN THEY EXIT FROM THERE.
[ EVIL LAUGHTER .]
ZACK IS MY NEPHEW.
HE'S BEEN WITH US SINCE HE'S BEEN A KID, WORKING IN THE HAUNTED HOUSE.
Zack: MY TAKE ON THE PARANORMAL WORLD IS -- I'M A COMPLETE SKEPTIC.
Ed: ON THE OFF-SEASON, THERE'S SEVEN OF US THAT WORK FULL-TIME.
IT'S THE GUYS WHO WORK THERE SEVEN DAYS A WEEK ALL YEAR-ROUND WHO SEE THE MOST THINGS -- YOU KNOW, WHISPERS [ INDISTINCT WHISPERING .]
SOMETHING TOUCHING THEIR EAR, SEEING A DARK SHADOW MOVE FROM LEFT TO RIGHT.
THEY GO ON AND ON ABOUT STORIES.
WHEN WE BOUGHT THE BUILDING, THERE WAS RUMORS AND STORIES ABOUT THIS HOMELESS GUY WHO DIED IN THE BASEMENT.
Zack: WE COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING ABOUT THE DEATH, BUT WE DO HAVE THE SLEEPING BAG AND THE PILLOW STILL SITTING THERE.
WE LEFT IT THERE JUS TO KEEP HIS PRESENCE AROUND.
Ed: THERE'S BEEN SEVERAL TIMES WHERE I ACTUALLY HEAR FOOTSTEPS [ FOOTSTEPS .]
THINKING SOMEBODY ELSE IS IN THE BUILDING.
AND I'LL ACTUALLY GET UP OUT OF BED, GRAB MY FLASHLIGHT, AND RUN THROUGH THE BUILDING LOOKING FOR SOMEBODY.
THERE'S BEEN TWO OCCASIONS WHERE I'M 100% CONVINCED THAT SOMEBODY'S IN THIS BUILDING.
I'VE ACTUALLY CALLED THE POLICE.
[ SIREN WAILS .]
THEY BROUGHT OUT THE K-9 UNITS.
WE SEARCHED THE WHOLE BUILDING AND FOUND NOTHING.
WHEN WORD GOT OU THAT THE HAUNTED HOUSE WAS ACTUALLY HAUNTED, WE WERE CONTACTED BY SEVERAL PARANORMAL INVESTIGATING TEAMS.
KEITH'S TEAM HEARD SOME STORIES AND WANTED TO DO AN INVESTIGATION THE SATURDAY BEFORE HALLOWEEN, WHICH IS OUR BUSIEST DAY, AND HE WANTS TO COME AFTER EVERYBODY GOES THROUGH, THINKING THA WHEN THE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE COME THROUGH THE BUILDING, IT'S GONNA STIR UP THE SPIRITS.
SO, WE'VE ALREADY BEEN WORKING HARD FRIDAY AND SATURDAY, AND NOW HE COMES IN AT 2:30 IN THE MORNING AND WANTS TO SET UP HIS EQUIPMENT.
I DIDN'T WANT TO STAY UP.
Zack: MY LOVELY BOSS AND UNCLE WAS THE ONE WHO MADE THE FINAL DECISION TO PUT ME AS THE BABYSITTER.
Ed: I ACTUALLY RETIRED AND WEN TO SLEEP ON THE THIRD FLOOR.
Zack: THE PARANORMAL TEAM SET A BUNCH OF MONITORS UP ON A TABLE AND STARTED RUNNING VIDEO WIRE DOWN TO THE BASEMENT, TO THE SECOND FLOOR, TO THE THIRD FLOOR.
ONCE ALL THE EQUIPMEN WAS SET UP, I LEFT A COUPLE OF THE GUYS IN THE BASEMENT, AND THEY WERE DOING WHAT THEY WERE DOING.
I WENT UP TO THE SECOND FLOOR, AND I HAD A COUPLE GUYS MOVING BACK AND FORTH THROUGH THIS LONG HALLWAY WHERE WE'VE BEEN TOLD TO HAVE SEEN SHADOWS AND GHOSTS WALKING DOWN THE HALLWAY.
THEN FROM THE SECOND FLOOR, I MOVED DOWN TO THE BOILER ROOM IN THE BASEMENT.
THIS PLACE IS PITCH-BLACK.
THERE IS NO ELECTRICITY.
IT'S A CONCRETE ROOM -- ALMOS A CELL, YOU COULD CALL IT.
JUST DARK, WET, DAMP, COLD.
THIS IS WHERE WE HAD THE CAMERA.
THEY HAD THREE SEPARATE MAGNETIC FIELD READERS.
THEY HAD A COUPLE AUDIO ONES SET UP.
AND THEN THEY SAID, "DOES ANYONE HAVE A FLASHLIGH THAT TWISTS ON AND OFF.
AND ACTUALLY, I WAS THE ONLY ONE DOWN THERE THAT DID.
THEY ACTUALLY USED MY FLASHLIGH AND PUT IT ABOUT 30 FEE TO THE OTHER END OF THE ROOM, AND THEY SET IT IN THE CORNER RIGHT NEXT TO THE PILLOW AND THE SLEEPING BAG OF THE HOMELESS GUY.
THEY HAD I IN THE "OFF" POSITION.
WE ALL WALKED BACK OVER TO THE OTHER END OF THE ROOM.
AND THIS IS WHEN WE WAITED AND WAITED AND WAITED AND WAITED.
AND I SAY, "TURN THE LIGHT ON!" AND THE LIGHT TURNS ON ON THE OTHER END OF THE ROOM.
EVERYBODY'S FREAKING OUT.
"OH, MY GOD! HE TALKS TO YOU.
"HE'S SPEAKING TO YOU.
HE HEARS YOU.
TELL HIM TO TURN IT OFF.
" "TURN THE LIGHT OFF!" [ SNAPS FINGERS .]
AND THE LIGHT TURNS OFF.
I WAS IN COMPLETE DISBELIEF THAT I WAS TALKING TO SOMEBODY THAT IS TURNING THIS THING ON AND OFF.
THE ONLY WAY TO TURN IT ON IS TO TWIST IT.
NOW I'M GETTING CREEPED OUT.
I DON'T BELIEVE IN THIS STUFF.
THERE'S NOBODY OVER THERE, AND THEY'RE USING MY FLASHLIGHT.
THERE'S NO TRICK IN THIS.
THIS IS CRAZY RIGHT NOW.
I'M NOT GONNA CONTINUE TO MESS WITH SOMETHING THAT I HAVE NO CONTROL OVER, HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IT IS.
AND I WAS A SKEPTIC 15 MINUTES AGO.
NOW I'M NOT READY TO BE HERE ANYMORE.
Ed: IT'S A REGULAR FLASHLIGHT.
I MEAN, TO STAND 30 FEET AWAY AND TELL IT TO TURN OFF AND ON, THAT'S PRETTY INCREDIBLE.
THAT CAN'T HAPPEN BY ITSELF.
SOMETHING HAS TO TURN I ON AND OFF.
Zack: THE ONLY EXPLANATION IS THE SPIRIT OF THE HOMELESS MAN FOR THIS LIGH TO BE TURNING ON AND OFF.
Ed: THE FLASHLIGH WAS MAYBE FIVE FEE FROM WHERE THE PILLOW AND THE BLANKET IS FROM THE HOMELESS GUY.
Zack: I WAS NOT VERY EXCITED ABOUT THE SITUATION.
I WANTED MY FLASHLIGHT BACK, AND I WANTED TO GO HOME.
A COUPLE WEEKS AFTER THE INVESTIGATION, KEITH CALLED ED AND I, SAID HE HAD A LOT OF EVIDENCE TO GO OVER AND THAT HE HAD DEFINITELY FOUND SOME THINGS WITH THEIR AUDIO RECORDERS.
Ed: WE WERE SITTING IN THE FRONT OFFICE, AND HE'S PLAYING HIS TAPES.
AND ONE OF THEM SAYS MY NAME.
JUST SAID, "E-E-E-ED.
" IT DRAGGED IT OUT.
THAT SCARED ME.
TO HEAR ONE ACTUALLY SAY MY NAME IS PRETTY INCREDIBLE.
JUST KIND OF A SHOCK, BECAUSE WHERE HE FOUND THAT EVIDENCE, I WAS SLEEPING PROBABLY ABOUT 50 FEET AWAY ON THE OTHER SIDE OF A BRICK WALL.
ONE OF THE OTHER THINGS THAT WAS SAID WAS, "HEY, BOY.
" I'M ASSUMING THAT WAS PROBABLY TALKING TO ZACHARY AT THE TIME.
VERY DISTINCT WOMAN'S VOICE.
IT ALMOST SOUNDS LIKE THE SAME VOICE THAT SAYS, "ED.
" Zack: ANOTHER EVP THAT THEY HAD CAPTURED TOOK PLACE IN THE BOILER ROOM.
THE GHOST WAS TALKING TO US AND TALKING ABOUT THE CAMERA.
IT KNEW THAT WE WERE RECORDING WHAT WAS GOING ON.
I BELIEVE THAT THE "TURN IT OFF" EVP THAT THEY HAD FOUND IS DEFINITELY THE SPIRI OF THE HOMELESS MAN.
ALL THE OTHER EVPs THEY COLLECTED WERE A FEMALE'S VOICE.
AND THIS WAS THE ONE MALE VOICE THAT WE HAD.
WHEN YOU'RE RECORDING ALL THIS STUFF, YOU CAN'T AUDIBLY HEAR IT.
YOU HAVE TO BRING IT BACK IN AND GO THROUGH ALL THE EVIDENCE TO HEAR THIS STUFF.
THEN YOU GO BACK, AND YOU'RE GOING, "WOW, THIS WAS HAPPENING WHILE WE WERE STANDING THERE.
" THAT IS BY FAR THE CREEPIEST THING THAT'S EVER HAPPENED TO ME.
Ed: THIS EXPERIENCE HAS CHANGED MY LIFE.
I'M A BELIEVER NOW.
I HAVE TO LEARN TO LIVE WITH THE SPIRITS.
Zack: THIS EXPERIENCE DEFINITELY PROVED TO ME THAT SPIRITS DO EXIST AND THEY CAN COMMUNICATE WITH OUR WORLD.
THERE IS SOMETHING OUT THERE.
I CAN'T EXPLAIN IT.
I DON'T EVEN KNOW IF I WANT TO UNDERSTAND IT, BUT IT'S DEFINITELY THERE AND IT'S DEFINITELY VERY REAL.
Ed: NOW I HAVE TO SAY THAT THERE ARE GHOSTS.
IT'S COOL.
IT'S A HAUNTED HAUNTED HOUSE.
THIS IS NOT PRETEND NO MORE.
Blackwood: I WAS SHOCKED THAT SOMEBODY MAY HAVE BEEN THERE WATCHING US.
Smith: I THOUGHT, "WOW, THEY'RE FOLLOWING HER AROUND THE HOUSE.
" Blackwood: I HAD FELT SOMEBODY SIT ON THE EDGE OF THE MATTRESS.
Smith: I ABSOLUTELY BELIEVE THE WALKER-AMES HOUSE IS HAUNTED.
Smith: I THOUGHT, "WOW, THEY'RE FOLLOWING HER AROUND THE HOUSE.
" Blackwood: I HAD FELT SOMEBODY SIT ON THE EDGE OF THE MATTRESS.
AND THERE WAS NOBODY THERE.
Smith: MY GHOST STORY BEGAN WHEN I STARTED WORKING AS THE TOWN MANAGER IN PORT GAMBLE, WASHINGTON.
I'VE LIVED IN PORT GAMBLE 25 YEARS, AND OVER THE LAST 16 YEARS, I'VE BEEN IN CHARGE OF THE WALKER-AMES HOUSE.
THE WALKER-AMES HOUSE WAS ORIGINALLY BUILT IN 1888.
IT WAS BUIL AS THE MILL MANAGER'S HOUSE.
IT WAS THE MOST ELABORATE.
IT SA OVERLOOKING THE MILL SITE.
IT'S GO ITS OWN LITTLE CREEPINESS, BECAUSE IT'S GO A LOT OF NOOKS AND CRANNIES, A LOT OF DARK CORNERS.
JUST A VERY ODD-FEELING HOUSE MOST OF THE TIME.
OVER THE YEARS, THERE'S BEEN MANY REPORTS OF A WOMAN SEEN IN THE ATTIC.
SHE'S SEEN OUT OF THE NORTH WINDOW, BUT NOBODY SEES HER FACE -- JUST THE OUTLINE OF HER.
THE ATTIC LIGH WOULD COME ON AT NIGH WHEN I KNEW NOBODY WOULD BE THERE.
SO I'D GO OVER, TURN IT OFF.
AND WE MIGHT GO A COUPLE DAYS, AND THEN IT WOULD BE ON AGAIN.
I STARTED TO THINK, "WELL, MAYBE THERE'S SOMETHING GOING ON IN THE HOUSE.
" WE DECIDED WE NEEDED TO REACH OU AND FIND OUT WHAT WAS HAPPENING.
Blackwood: I'VE BEEN INVESTIGATING THE PARANORMAL NOW FOR ABOUT FIVE YEARS.
WHEN SHANA FIRST CONTACTED ME, SHE HAD TOLD ME SOME OF THE STORIES OF THE THINGS THAT WERE HAPPENING IN THE HOUSE.
SO WE WERE REALLY INTERESTED IN GETTING IN THERE TO INVESTIGATE.
Smith: WE USUALLY DO NOT PARTICIPATE IN THE INVESTIGATIONS, SO I HANDED OFF THE KEY, WISHED THEM LUCK, AND SAID I'D SEE THEM THE NEXT DAY WHEN THEY TURNED EVERYTHING BACK IN TO US.
Blackwood: WHEN WE FIRST ARRIVED FOR THE INVESTIGATION, WE DID A WALK-THROUGH.
WE THEN PROCEEDED TO SET UP CAMERAS AND AUDIO RECORDERS IN CERTAIN LOCATIONS OF THE HOUSE.
MYSELF AND ANOTHER TEAMMATE WERE RUNNING SOME AUDIO, AND WE WERE STANDING IN FRONT OF AN OLD FIREPLACE THAT HAS A MIRROR ABOVE IT.
AND I HAD SAID TO MY TEAMMATE, "WOW, WOULDN'T THAT BE REALLY STRANGE IF SOMEBODY APPEARED IN THE MIRROR?" WHEN I HEARD THAT ON THE AUDIO, I WAS SHOCKED.
IT WAS RATHER CREEPY KNOWING THAT SOMEBODY MAY HAVE BEEN THERE WATCHING US.
Smith: IT, TO ME, SHOWED SOME INTELLIGENCE THERE.
IT WAS ALSO KIND OF CREEPY, 'CAUSE I THOUGHT, "WOW, THEY'RE FOLLOWING HER AROUND THE HOUSE.
" Blackwood: AFTER INVESTIGATING THROUGHOU THE REST OF THE HOUSE, WE DECIDED TO GO UP TO THE ATTIC TO CHECK ON THE CAMERAS THAT WE HAD PLACED UP THERE.
THE ATTIC HAD A HEAVY FEELING, FELT LIKE YOU WERE BEING WATCHED.
I WOULDN'T GO UP THERE BY MYSELF.
I ALWAYS ASKED A TEAMMATE TO GO ALONG WITH ME BECAUSE I FELT UNCOMFORTABLE.
WHEN WE REVIEWED EVIDENCE FROM THE CAMERAS IN THE ATTIC, WE SAW A FLICKERING LIGH THAT DANCED ACROSS THE WINDOW.
IN FRONT OF THAT WINDOW IS A VERY SHEER CURTAIN, AND IT LOOKS ALMOST AS IF THAT LIGHT IS DANCING BETWEEN THE CURTAIN AND THE WINDOW.
Smith: THERE WAS NO LIGHTS AROUND.
Blackwood: WE TRIED DEBUNKING I WITH A LASER LIGH OR EVEN A FLASHLIGHT.
WE DROVE BY WITH LOW BEAMS, HIGH BEAMS, TWO DIRECTIONS, AND WE COULD NOT REPLICATE THAT SAME FLICKERING LIGH IN THE WINDOW.
ANOTHER PIECE OF EVIDENCE THAT WE CAPTURED IN THE ATTIC WAS A VIDEO SHOWING THE SAME WINDOW, AND IT LOOKS AS IF THERE'S SOMETHING DARK BEGINNING TO FORM.
Smith: IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S FORMING FROM THE BASE OF THE WINDOW, COMING UP IN FRONT OF THE WINDOW, FORMING INTO A PERSON.
Blackwood: BEFORE IT GETS INTO A COMPLETE SHAPE, IT SHOOTS UP INTO THE CEILING.
Smith: FIRST THOUGHT IS, "WHERE DID IT GO? IS IT COMING BACK?" I THOUGHT THAT WAS A LITTLE CREEPY FOR THE ATTIC.
THE LIGHT'S ONE THING, BU ACTUALLY SEEING SOMETHING FORM GIVES A WHOLE NOTHER DIMENSION UP THERE.
I FEEL THAT THE APPARITION CAPTURED ON VIDEO IS THE SAME SPIRI THAT PEOPLE HAVE SEEN OF THE WOMAN IN THE ATTIC.
AFTER SEEING THE APPARITION, I DON'T REALLY CARE TO GO TO THE ATTIC BY MYSELF ANYMORE.
Blackwood: WE GOT READY TO GO TO BED THAT NIGHT.
WE WERE UP ON THE SECOND FLOOR.
I PUT AN AIR MATTRESS IN THERE TO LAY ON.
WE SET UP A NIGHT-VISION CAMERA IN THE ROOM WITH US, AND MY TEAMMATE, SHE SLEP ON THE FLOOR NEXT TO ME.
I WOKE AROUND 2:00 IN THE MORNING BECAUSE I HAD FELT SOMEBODY SIT ON THE EDGE OF THE MATTRESS.
I LAID THERE ABSOLUTELY FROZEN.
TRIED TO LISTEN, DIDN'T HEAR ANY FOOTSTEPS.
I TRIED TO ADJUST MY EYES TO THE DARKNESS.
AND I LOOKED, AND THERE WAS NOBODY THERE.
I FINALLY WOKE MY TEAMMATE AND TOLD HER WHAT HAD HAPPENED.
WHEN WE WENT THROUGH AND REVIEWED THE VIDEO, I COULDN'T BELIEVE WHAT WE HAD CAPTURED.
YOU SEE AN ORB THAT COMES SHOOTING ACROSS THE ROOM, AND YOU SEE THE INDEN ON THE MATTRESS.
Smith: YOU SEE THE CORNER OF THE MATTRESS COMPRESS OR SINK DOWN LIKE SOMEBODY HAS SAT ON THE BED, YET THERE'S NOBODY THERE.
AND THEN YOU SEE THE CORNER SPRING BACK UP.
Blackwood: AFTER I REVIEWED THAT VIDEO, I REALIZED THAT WHAT I'D FEL WAS ACTUALLY WHAT HAPPENED.
SOMETHING, SOMEBODY HAD SAT DOWN ON THE MATTRESS, SOMEBODY THAT WASN'T FROM OUR WORLD.
Smith: THE HAIR ON THE BACK OF MY NECKS STOOD UP, I GOT GOOSE BUMPS.
WE WATCHED I ABOUT TWO OR THREE TIMES, AND IT MAKES YOU NOT WANT TO GO INTO THAT PART OF THE HOUSE ANYMORE.
Blackwood: THE EVIDENCE PROVES TO ME THAT THERE ARE SPIRITS WITHIN THE WALKER-AMES HOUSE.
Smith: WHEN I'M BY MYSELF AT THE HOUSE, IT MAKES ME AWARE THAT I REALLY MAY NOT BE ALONE.
Blackwood: I DON'T THINK THAT I WOULD SPEND THE NIGHT ALONE AT THE LOCATION.
Smith: AFTER SEEING THE VIDEO OF THE BED AND LIGHTS FLICKERING AND THE APPARITION UP IN THE ATTIC, I ABSOLUTELY BELIEVE THE WALKER-AMES HOUSE IS HAUNTED.
Applegate: THEY'RE LETTING US KNOW THAT THEY'RE THERE.
Tackett: IT'S DEFINITELY PARANORMAL.
Applegate: YOU CAN SEE A FACE, AND IT HAS GOTTEN MORE DOMINANT.
I WANTED TO RUN, BECAUSE, OBVIOUSLY, SOMETHING DID NOT WANT ME THERE.
Tackett: IT JUST SCARED US TO DEATH.
Applegate: THEY'RE LETTING US KNOW THAT THEY'RE THERE.
YOU CAN SEE A FACE.
Tackett: IT JUST SCARED US TO DEATH.
Applegate: MY GHOST STORY BEGAN WHEN I STARTED WORKING AT A TAVERN THAT TURNED OUT TO BE HAUNTED.
I STARTED WORKING AT MR.
T's ABOUT TWO YEARS AGO.
IT IS A NEIGHBORHOOD BAR LOCATED IN COVINGTON, KENTUCKY.
ABOUT A MONTH AFTER I HAD STARTED WORKING THERE, I WAS JUST OPENING UP, AND I SEEN A DARK SHADOW WALK IN THE BACK ROOM FROM THE POOL TABLE TO THE BASEMENT DOOR.
SO, I THOUGHT MY EYES WERE PLAYING TRICKS ON ME OR SOMETHING, BUT IT REPEATEDLY HAPPENED TO WHERE OTHER PEOPLE HAD ALSO SEEN IT.
ONE DAY, I WAS COUNTING MONEY, NOT PAYING MUCH ATTENTION.
IT FELT LIKE SOMETHING HAD TAPPED MY BACK.
SO I LOOK OVER MY SHOULDER, AND THERE'S NOTHING THERE.
WELL, THEN IT WAS A TUG OF MY SWEATER, AND SOMETHING BATTED MY HAIR OFF OF MY SHOULDERS.
THERE WAS NO WAY ANYBODY COULD HAVE REACHED ACROSS THE BAR AND DONE IT.
IT JUST HAPPENED ON ITS OWN.
WE HAVE VARIOUS THINGS THA HAVE GONE ON WITH ELECTRONICS.
ONE OF THE SERVERS' CELLPHONES CHARGES ON ITS OWN.
Man: IT'S NOT PLUGGED IN.
SHOW WHERE YOU WOULD NORMALLY CHARGE IT AT.
RIGHT THERE ON THE BOTTOM.
Applegate: BUT IT ONLY DOES THAT THERE.
AND SHE'S ON HER SECOND CELLPHONE, SO IT'S NOT THE CELLPHONE.
IT'S HER.
LIKE, IT TARGETS HER ENERGY ONLY.
ON TOP OF THAT, MY PURSE KEEPS FALLING REPEATEDLY ON THE FLOOR, AS IF SOMETHING PICKS IT UP AND JUST DROPS IT.
LINDA TACKETT IS ONE OF THE OWNERS OF MR.
T's TAVERN.
WHEN I FIRST TOLD LINDA ABOU EVERYTHING THAT WAS GOING ON, SHE WAS IN COMPLETE DISBELIEF.
Tackett: I BOUGHT MR.
T's SEVEN YEARS AGO WITH MY SON.
OUR LAST NAME BEGINS WITH "T", SO IT JUST SEEMED APPROPRIATE.
RIGHT AWAY, PEOPLE WERE TELLING US IT'S HAUNTED.
WELL, I THOUGHT, "NO, THERE'S NO WAY.
I DON'T BELIEVE IN GHOSTS, SO THAT'S JUST NOT POSSIBLE.
" I HAD TO EXPERIENCE IT MYSELF.
Applegate: THERE WAS A DAY WHERE ONE OF THE SERVERS WENT DOWN INTO THE BASEMEN TO FLIP THE BREAKER BECAUSE THE POWER HAD WENT OUT.
SHE SEEN A BLACK FIGURE THAT CAME STRAIGHT TO HER, PASSED THROUGH HER, AND SHE FELT LIKE SHE COULDN'T CATCH HER BREATH OR LIKE SOMETHING HAD JUST STABBED HER.
AND IMMEDIATELY, TEARS JUST RUSHED DOWN HER FACE.
I HAD SENT MY BROTHER DOWN INTO THE BASEMENT TO TAKE PICTURES.
YOU CAN SEE THE REFLECTION OF A FACE IN ONE OF THEM.
EVEN TALKING ABOUT I FREAKS ME OU BECAUSE SHE HASN'T BEEN RIGH SINCE THAT WHOLE INCIDENT.
Tackett: IT WAS DEFINITELY PARANORMAL.
IT'S SCARY.
IT'S SCARY.
I DECIDED TO BRING A TEAM OF PARANORMAL PEOPLE IN TO INVESTIGATE.
Applegate: WHEN THE PARANORMAL TEAM ASKED LINDA AND MYSELF TO GO DOWN IN THE BASEMENT, I FELT NERVOUS.
I FELT FRIGHTENED.
Tackett: GOING DOWN THE STEPS ITSELF IS SCARY BECAUSE IT'S AN OLD BUILDING.
IT'S OVER 100 YEARS OLD.
THE STAIRWAY ITSELF IS VERY NARROW.
THE STEPS ARE CROOKED.
Applegate: YOU JUST GE A REALLY STRANGE ENERGY WHEN YOU GO DOWN THERE.
YOU FEEL THREATENED.
Tackett: YOUR HAIR RAISES ON YOUR ARMS.
Applegate: I FELT LIKE SOMETHING DIDN'T WANT ME THERE OR SOMETHING WAS FOLLOWING ME OR CONSTANTLY WATCHING ME AS I WENT DOWN THERE.
Tackett: THE PARANORMAL TEAM HAS THIS BOX THAT THEY CALL A "SPIRIT BOX.
" THEY PUT A FLASHLIGH ON THE TABLE, AND THEY SAID, "SPIRITS, AT THE COUNT OF THREE, TOUCH THE FLASHLIGHT, AND IT'LL GO ON.
" Man: 1, 2, 3.
Tackett: AND THE SPIRIT BOX SAID AND I SAID, "DID THAT THING JUST SAY 'FOUR'?" Applegate: IT WAS SHOCKING.
IT GIVES ME GOOSE BUMPS EVERY TIME I TALK ABOUT IT.
IT'S NOT COINCIDENTAL.
IT WAS DEFINITELY A RESPONSE TO THE INVESTIGATORS.
Tackett: MY REACTION TO THAT WAS, "I CANNOT BE A NON-BELIEVER ANYMORE.
"THERE'S SOMETHING GOING ON HERE, AND IT'S SOMETHING REALLY SPOOKY AND SCARY.
" AND THEN YOU COULD HEAR THE SOUND OF A BELL.
Man: CAN YOU MAKE A NOISE FOR US? Tackett: I COULDN'T BELIEVE WHAT I HEARD.
MR.
T's HAS A HISTORY OF ORGANIZED CRIME.
THERE WAS A LOT OF GAMBLING THAT WENT ON THERE.
WHEN WE FIRST BOUGHT THE PLACE, THERE WAS A BELL THAT WAS ON THE END OF THE BAR.
WE THREW IT AWAY, BUT THE PURPOSE OF THE BELL WAS TO ALERT THE GAMBLERS WHEN THE COPS CAME IN.
WELL, THE BELL ON THE EVP SOUNDED EXACTLY LIKE THE BELL THAT WE REMOVED FROM THE END OF THE BAR.
THERE'S NO EXPLANATION FOR THAT.
Applegate: THE BELL INSINUATES, TO ME, THAT SOME OF THE GAMBLERS ARE STILL IN THE BUILDING AND THEY'RE LETTING US KNOW THAT THEY'RE THERE.
WHEN ALL THIS WAS HAPPENING, MY DAUGHTER DECIDED TO TAKE RANDOM PICTURES TO SEE IF SHE COULD CAPTURE ANYTHING.
THERE IS A PICTURE, AND OVER IN THE RIGHT SIDE, THERE IS THIS BIG, DARK MASS.
AND IN THE SECOND PHOTO, YOU CAN SEE WHERE IT HAS CHANGED AND IT HAS GOTTEN DARKER, MORE DOMINANT.
I WAS PRETTY FREAKED OUT, BECAUSE I THOUGH THAT POSSIBLY IT'S THE SHADOW THAT I KEEP SEEING WALKING IN THE BACK ROOM.
THE INVESTIGATORS HAD ASKED ME TO ASK DIRECT QUESTIONS TO WHATEVER IT IS THAT'S HAUNTING US.
ONE OF MY QUESTIONS WERE, "DO YOU COME UPSTAIRS TO VISIT US?" WITH THAT, I GOT, "DIE.
" I HAVE NEVER BEEN SO SCARED.
AT THAT POINT, I WANTED TO RUN BACK UP THE STAIRS AND OUT OF THE BUILDING AND NEVER STEP FOOT IN THERE AGAIN, BECAUSE, OBVIOUSLY, SOMETHING DID NOT WANT ME THERE.
Tackett: THAT WAS EXTREMELY INTENSE.
I WANTED TO GET OUT.
BUT THE SPIRITS WEREN'T THROUGH, AND I WASN'T PREPARED FOR WHAT HAPPENED NEXT.
THE FINAL STRAW WAS WHEN THE PARANORMAL TEAM SPOKE TO THE SPIRI AND SAID, "MOVE SOMETHING.
TOUCH ONE OF US.
" IT WASN'T ONE MINUTE LATER, A MOP THAT WAS STANDING AT THE TOP OF THE STEPS CAME FLYING DOWN THE STEPS.
[ CLATTERING .]
Applegate: IT'S ALMOST LIKE I WAS THROWN WITH SO MUCH FORCE, IT SOUNDED LIKE A TON OF BRICKS WERE TOSSED DOWN THE STAIRS.
IT WAS SECONDS WITHIN HITTING US.
IT DIDN'T HURT ANYBODY, BUT IT WAS CLOSE.
Tackett: IT JUST SCARED US TO DEATH.
THAT'S WHEN CHRISTINA SAID, "I'M GETTING OUT OF HERE.
" SO WE LEFT.
Applegate: I THINK THEY WERE TRYING TO TELL US THAT THEY WERE DONE WITH US PLAYING IN THEIR TERRITORY.
IT WAS LIKE A WARNING TO LEAVE THEIR AREA.
Tackett: THE EXPERIENCES THAT I'VE HAD AT MR.
T's HAVE BROUGHT ME FROM A NON-BELIEVER TO BELIEVING.
THE HAIR FLIPPING, TUGGING ON A SWEATER, THROWING LITTLE THINGS -- THERE'S TOO MANY THINGS THAT I CAN'T EXPLAIN.
SO I BELIEVE SOMETHING SUPERNATURAL IS THERE.
Applegate: ALTHOUGH I CONTINUE TO WORK AT MR.
T's, I'M EXTREMELY NERVOUS.
IT HAS AFFECTED MY WORK DRASTICALLY, ACTUALLY, BECAUSE I WILL NO GO TO THE BASEMENT.
I WILL NOT STEP FOOT IN THE BACK ROOM WHERE THE SHADOW CROSSES.
IT'S FRIGHTENING TO KNOW THAT THEY'RE ALWAYS THERE, THEY'RE ALWAYS AROUND ME.
Turk: THERE WAS A LITTLE GIRL'S FACE IN THE TV IMAGE.
IN A MIST WAS A FACE.
Bonang: IT WAS A SPIRIT, AND IT WASN'T A SPIRI THAT WAS WELCOME.
Turk: THERE WAS A LITTLE GIRL'S FACE IN THE TV IMAGE.
I SNAPPED PICTURES OF A TREE.
IN A MIST WAS A FACE.
Bonang: AND IT WASN'T A SPIRI THAT WAS WELCOME.
Turk: MY GHOST STORY BEGAN WHEN THE SPIRIT OF MY HUSBAND CAME BACK TO OUR HOME.
ABOUT THREE MONTHS AFTER MY HUSBAND DIED FROM A MASSIVE CORONARY, THAT'S WHEN I STARTED GETTING THESE STRANGE SENSATIONS.
MILES WAS THE KIND OF MAN THA EVERY MAN SHOULD STRIVE TO BE.
HE WAS KIND.
HE WAS HONEST, TO A FAULT.
BECAUSE I MISSED MY HUSBAND SO MUCH, I DECIDED TO PUT AS MANY OF HIS IMAGES AROUND MY HOUSE AS I COULD.
AND I'D LIGHT CANDLES FOR HIM.
Bonang: MY AUN WAS EXTREMELY DEVASTATED.
Turk: I JUST KEPT PUTTING ALL OF HIS LOVE LETTERS AND HIS FLOWERS IN THESE MEMORIAL BOOKS.
STRANGE THINGS STARTED HAPPENING NOT TOO LONG AFTER HIS DEATH.
Bonang: WHEN WE WOULD TALK ABOUT UNCLE MILES, THE CLOCK IN THE LIVING ROOM THAT NEVER WORKED WOULD CHIME, AS IF IT HAD WORKED FOR YEARS.
Turk: IT DIDN'T TAKE TOO LONG TO REALIZE THAT IT WASN'T HAPPENING ANY OTHER TIME BUT WHEN MILES' NAME WAS MENTIONED.
I ACTUALLY STARTED THINKING THAT MAYBE MILES WAS TRYING TO LET ME KNOW THAT HE WAS STILL THERE WITH ME.
I WAS STUNNED.
LATER THAT NIGHT, I WENT INTO BED.
AND, AS USUAL, I WAS CRYING.
ALL OF A SUDDEN, I FEL THE SIDE OF THE BED GO DOWN AND SOMETHING CLIMB OVER ME AND GIVE ME A HUG.
AND THEN IT HIT ME -- HE'S TRYING TO COMFORT ME NOW JUST LIKE HE DID WHEN HE WAS ALIVE.
Bonang: WITH MY AUNT DOROTHY, SHE NEVER SAYS SOMETHING UNLESS IT'S REAL.
Turk: THAT ONE EXPERIENCE MADE MY GRIEF SO MUCH LESS.
ANOTHER THING THAT HAPPENED THAT REALLY CEMENTED THE FAC THAT MILES WAS TRYING TO GET THROUGH TO ME WAS ONE NIGHT, WHILE I WAS WATCHING TELEVISION, I STARTED GETTING GOOSE BUMPS.
AND THAT'S A SIGN THAT, "OKAY, PICK UP THE CAMERA, START SNAPPING.
" I SNAPPED PICTURES IN EVERY DIRECTION.
BUT WHEN I SNAPPED OVER BY THE CHAIR THAT MY HUSBAND DIED IN I GOT AN ORB GOING AROUND THE DOORJAMB AND INTO OUR BEDROOM.
WHEN I LOOKED AT THE PHOTO, I THOUGHT THAT THAT WAS MILES BECAUSE IT WAS AROUND THE TIME THAT HE USED TO GO TO BED.
LATER, I SNAPPED ANOTHER PHOTO OF AN ORB ON THE CEILING, WHICH I BELIEVE WAS ALSO MY HUSBAND'S SPIRIT.
IT WAS SO COMFORTING.
Bonang: I FEEL THAT BRINGING SO MUCH ATTENTION TO UNCLE MILES WAS LIKE AN INVITATION TO OTHER SPIRITS TO SHOW UP.
THINGS REALLY STARTED TO GET WEIRD WHEN MY AUNT AND I WERE WATCHING A DOCUMENTARY ON TV.
WHILE WE WERE WATCHING, I HEARD, "SQUEAK, SQUEAK.
" [ DOOR CREAKS .]
THE DOOR OPENED AND CLOSED.
WELL, THEN I STARTED GETTING REALLY NERVOUS.
I JUST QUIETLY SAID TO MY AUNT, "WATCH OVER BY THIS WAY.
" Turk: AND THEN IT SLOWLY OPENED AGAIN.
[ DOOR CREAKS .]
I WASN'T SURE IF THAT WAS MY HUSBAND.
I HOPED IT WAS MY HUSBAND.
Bonang: I WAS READY TO PACK UP MY BAG AND LEAVE.
I WAS TERRIFIED.
Turk: ONE OF THE EARLIEST EXAMPLES OF OTHER SPIRITS IN MY HOME WAS THE NIGHT I HAD TO TAKE A PHOTOGRAPH OF A TREE THAT HAD BEEN HIT BY LIGHTNING FOR MY INSURANCE COMPANY.
ALL OF THE PHOTOS I TOOK WERE OF THE TREE EXCEPT FOR ONE.
AND IN THAT PHOTOGRAPH, IN A MIST, WAS A FACE.
THAT REALLY SCARED ME.
I HAD BEEN TALKING TO A NEIGHBOR, AND I SHOWED HIM THE PHOTO.
HE SAID THAT IT ACTUALLY LOOKED LIKE THE ORIGINAL BUILDER OF THE HOUSE WHO HAD PASSED AWAY MANY YEARS BEFORE.
I COULDN'T BELIEVE WHAT I SAW.
ONE NIGHT, I WAS EXTREMELY TIRED.
SO I RENTED A MOVIE, PUT IT ON, LAID ON THE COUCH, AND IMMEDIATELY FELL ASLEEP.
HOURS LATER, I WOKE UP TO THE STRONGES GOOSE BUMPS I'VE HAD EVER.
SO I GOT MY CAMERA, AND I STARTED SNAPPING PICTURES.
[ CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKING .]
AND I PUT THEM UP THE NEXT DAY ON THE COMPUTER AND THERE WAS A LITTLE GIRL'S FACE IN THE TV IMAGE.
I KNOW I SHOULD HAVE BEEN AFRAID, BUT I WASN'T.
SHE WAS A CHILD, AND YOU COULD SEE HER BIG EYES.
Bonang: WHEN I SAW THE PICTURE OF THE LITTLE GIRL IN THE TELEVISION, IT WAS KIND OF UNNERVING.
WHAT COULD HAPPEN NEXT? Turk: THERE WAS ONE NIGHT I HAD A VERY FRIGHTENING EXPERIENCE WITH THAT SAME TELEVISION.
I WAS WOKEN UP AGAIN BY THE GOOSE BUMPS.
SO I STARTED SNAPPING PICTURES, AS NORMAL.
MOST OF THEM HAD JUST THE TELEVISION SE WITH THE BLACK SCREEN.
BUT THERE WAS ONE THAT HAD THIS FACE, ALMOST LOOKED LIKE IT WAS GRAINING OUT.
Bonang: THE FACE ALMOST LOOKS DEMONIC.
TO ME, IT FEELS LIKE A NEGATIVE SPIRIT, LIKE A STRANGER WHO COMES INTO YOUR HOME AND YOU GET BAD VIBES FROM THEM.
Turk: I DIDN'T KNOW WHO OR WHAT THAT WAS.
ALL I KNEW WAS THAT IT WAS SOMETHING I DIDN'T WANT IN MY HOUSE.
I GOT THAT FEAR FEELING BACK AGAIN.
Bonang: ONE OF THE MOS TERRIFYING NIGHTS HAPPENED WHEN I WAS HAVING A SLEEPOVER AT MY AUNT'S AND MY GODDAUGHTER WAS LYING IN THE BED BESIDE ME.
ALL OF A SUDDEN, SHE LOOKED ABOVE MY HEAD.
SHE SAID, "NO, DEBBIE! NO, DEBBIE!" AND I SAID, "WHAT'S THE MATTER?" "NO, DEBBIE! NO, DEBBIE!" SHE SAID, "BAD MAN!" AND I KNEW THEN AND THERE IT WAS A SPIRIT, AND IT WASN'T A SPIRI THAT WAS WELCOME.
SO I SAID WITH ALL MY MIGHT "LEAVE HER ALONE.
" "DON'T LET HER KNOW YOU'RE HERE.
"DON'T LET HER SEE YOU.
WHATEVER YOU HAVE TO DO, YOU DO IT, BUT LEAVE US ALONE.
" I WRAPPED MY ARMS AROUND HER TO LET HER KNOW SHE WAS SAFE.
AND THAT'S WHEN THE POUNDING ON THE WALL STARTED.
AND YOU WOULD JUST DOZE OFF, AND HE WOULD POUND ON THE WALL AGAIN.
I'M SCARED.
I WAS UP AT 5:00 IN THE MORNING BECAUSE THERE WAS NO WAY THAT I COULD SLEEP ANYMORE, BUT MY AUN STROLLED OUT OF HER BEDROOM, WHO'S AN INSOMNIAC, WHO NEVER SLEEPS, AND SAID, "OH, I HAD THE BEST SLEEP.
I FEEL SO GOOD.
" AND THEN AND THERE, I KNEW UNCLE MILES' SPIRI HAD PROTECTED HER FOR THE NIGHT.
Turk: I REALLY DON'T THINK I WANTED THEM SPENDING THE NIGHT.
Bonang: WE WERE TERRIFIED.
Turk: I EVENTUALLY GOT TO BELIEVE THAT MOST OF THESE SPIRITS WERE COMING TO ME BECAUSE I COULD VALIDATE THEM.
I FEEL THE PRESENCE OF MILES THERE, AND I'M SO AT HOME IN THAT HOUSE.
Bonang: THIS WHOLE EXPERIENCE HAS CHANGED ME IN THE SENSE THAT I KNOW THAT GHOSTS EXIST.
THEY HAVE THE CAPABILITY OF MANIPULATING OUR PHYSICAL WORLD.
SPIRITS WILL COME.
Roberts: THE FIRST THING OU OF MY MOUTH WAS, "HOLY CRAP.
" Castillo: WE WERE COMPLETELY SHOCKED.
Roberts: "HE'S REALLY HERE.
" Castillo: THAT'S WHEN I WAS REALLY TERRIFIED.
I'VE NEVER FELT THAT BEFORE.
I WAS GETTING REALLY SCARED TO BE ALONE.
Roberts: IT BLEW ME AWAY.
Roberts: THE FIRST THING OU OF MY MOUTH WAS, "HOLY CRAP.
" "HE'S REALLY HERE.
" Castillo: THAT'S WHEN I WAS REALLY TERRIFIED.
I'VE NEVER FELT THAT BEFORE.
I WAS GETTING REALLY SCARED TO BE ALONE.
Roberts: MY GHOST STORY BEGAN WHEN I ENTERED THE HOME OF SALLY GARZA IN SACRAMENTO, CALIFORNIA.
I GOT INTO PARANORMAL INVESTIGATING, BECAUSE WHEN I WAS A CHILD, I STARTED READING THESE BOOKS ON THE PARANORMAL.
AND I DID SOME INVESTIGATION ON MY OWN, AND I'VE BEEN A PARANORMAL INVESTIGATOR EVER SINCE.
SALLY GARZA CONTACTED ME, AND SHE WAS CONCERNED BECAUSE SO MUCH ACTIVITY WAS HAPPENING IN HER HOUSE, AND IT SEEMED LIKE IT WAS FOCUSED ON HER DAUGHTER.
Castillo: WHEN WE FIRST MOVED IN TO OUR NEW HOUSE, MY ROOM WAS DONE FIRST.
ALL MY STUFF WAS MOVED IN, SO I WAS REARRANGING MY OWN ROOM.
AND I WAS JUST THERE BY MYSELF.
AND THAT'S WHEN ALL THE STUFF STARTED HAPPENING.
I WAS JUST SITTING THERE JUST GETTING MY STUFF TOGETHER, AND THEN THAT'S WHEN I FEL THE BREATHING ON ME.
I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO THINK BECAUSE NOBODY WAS THERE.
SO I WAS LIKE, "WHAT COULD BE CAUSING IT?" NO BREEZE, NOTHING.
I'VE NEVER FELT THAT BEFORE.
IT WAS JUST REALLY SCARY FOR ME.
I WOULD BE IN MY ROOM, AND I WOULD PEEK OU 'CAUSE I WOULD HEAR CREAKING IN THE HALLWAY.
AND I'D BE LIKE, "WELL, NOBODY'S HOME.
WHO COULD BE WALKING DOWN THE HALLWAY?" AND I WOULD THINK SOMEONE'S COMING IN, BUT IT WAS NOBODY.
THAT'S WHEN I WAS REALLY TERRIFIED.
I WAS, LIKE, GETTING REALLY SCARED TO BE ALONE.
WHEN I TOLD MY MOM ALL THE THINGS THAT WERE HAPPENING TO ME, THAT'S WHEN SHE HAD CALLED PAUL TO INVESTIGATE THE HOUSE.
Roberts: ONE OF THE WAYS THAT WE DO AN INVESTIGATION IS I BRING MY TEAM IN THERE AND DO AN INITIAL BRIEFING.
WE TALK ABOU THE HISTORY OF THE HOUSE, WHAT POSSIBLY COULD BE GOING ON.
AND SALLY GARZA EXPLAINED TO ME THAT ON THE FIREPLACE, THE MANTEL, IS AN URN.
AND IN THAT URN IS HER FATHER.
SO, POSSIBLY, GRANDFATHER'S TRYING TO CONVEY A MESSAGE TO THE FAMILY, AND HE DOES CERTAIN LITTLE THINGS IN THE HOUSE TO GET THEIR ATTENTION.
ANOTHER POSSIBILITY, AND WHA SALLY WAS CONCERNED ABOUT, IS WHAT IF MAYBE A PORTAL OPENED IN THAT HOME AND OTHER ENTITIES WHO ARE NOT WELCOME IN THAT HOME ARE CAUSING TROUBLE? ARE THEY A THREAT TO THE FAMILY? AND THAT'S WHAT I WANTED TO CHECK INTO.
AS MY INVESTIGATORS WERE WALKING THROUGH THE HOUSE, STARTED TAKING PHOTOS, AND EVERYTHING ELSE, I SAID, "LET'S MAKE SURE THAT WE COVER THE GARAGE AREA WHERE THE SHADOW FIGURE WAS SEEN.
" WHEN WE ENTERED THE GARAGE, A SERIES OF PHOTOS WERE TAKEN IN THERE.
ONE OF THE MOST UNUSUAL PHOTOS THAT WE TOOK IN THAT HOUSE WAS WHAT I CALL A "DESIGNER ORB.
" A DESIGNER ORB, IF YOU ENHANCE IT, SOMETIMES YOU CAN MAKE OUT A FACE.
WELL, WITH THIS DESIGNER ORB, WE ENHANCED IT.
AND YOU CAN ACTUALLY SEE A FACE IN IT.
WHEN I SHOWED SABRINA, SHE LOOKED AT IT, AND SHE GOES, "THAT'S ME.
" AND SHE TAKES A PICTURE OF HERSELF, AND SHE COMPARES IT.
AND SHE GOES, "THAT IS ME.
" Castillo: WHEN PAUL SHOWED ME THE PICTURE AND IT HAD MATCHED UP WITH MY BABY PICTURE, I THOUGHT IT WAS AMAZING.
LIKE, I DIDN'T THINK THAT WAS ACTUALLY POSSIBLE.
Roberts: I SAID, "WHY WOULD A DESIGNER ORB HAVE AN IMAGE OF SABRINA IN THE ORB?" THEN I STARTED THINKING, "OKAY, IF IT'S THE GRANDFATHER, "THEN POSSIBLY HE'S TRYING TO SEND HER THIS PICTURE OF HERSELF "WHEN SHE WAS A LITTLE GIRL, SAYING, 'THAT'S HOW I REMEMBER YOU.
'" AS MY INVESTIGATORS WERE WALKING THROUGH THE HOUSE, TAKING PICTURES, I SAID, "LET'S FOCUS WHERE THE URN'S AT.
" IT'S IN THE LIVING ROOM ON THE FIREPLACE MANTEL.
THE VERY FIRST PHOTO THAT THEY TOOK, HERE'S THIS ORB NEAR THE URN.
THE NEXT PHOTO THEY TOOK IS A SHADOW NOW BY THE URN.
THE GRANDFATHER'S TRYING TO REALLY CONVEY A MESSAGE -- "HEY, I'M HERE, AND I'M NEXT TO MY URN.
" Castillo: WHEN I SAW THE PHOTOS, I WAS MORE FREAKED OU THAN ANYTHING, 'CAUSE I WAS STILL KIND OF NERVOUS, 'CAUSE I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT MY GRANDFATHER WAS TRYING TO TELL ME.
Roberts: AFTER WE WENT THROUGH ALL THE EVIDENCE, I SAID, "OKAY, WE DO HAVE SOME ANOMALIES IN OUR PHOTOGRAPHS, BUT IT'S INCONCLUSIVE.
" Castillo: ME AND MY MOM WERE KIND OF NERVOUS ABOUT WHAT ELSE IT COULD BE OR WHAT EXACTLY HE WAS TRYING TO TELL US.
SO WE KIND OF WANTED MORE EVIDENCE OF IT BEING MY GRANDPA AND NOT ANYTHING ELSE.
Roberts: SO, I WAS KIND OF CONCERNED ABOUT THAT.
AND I SAID, "SABRINA, DON'T WORRY.
"WE'LL CONTINUE WITH THE INVESTIGATION, AND I'LL SEND TWO INVESTIGATORS OVER.
" MY TWO TEAM MEMBERS, SHANNON McCABE AND SHARI ARESTA, ARRIVED AT THE HOUSE.
Castillo: I WAS REALLY HOPING THEY WOULD FIND SOMETHING SAYING IT WAS MY GRANDPA.
Roberts: SO SHARI WENT INTO ONE ROOM, AND SHANNON WENT INTO ANOTHER ROOM.
SHANNON IS WORKING ON THE EVPs.
SHE CONTACTS ME ON THE PHONE.
SHE PUTS ME ON SPEAKERPHONE.
SHE PLAYS IT BACK.
IT SAYS, "HE LIES.
" IT BLEW ME AWAY.
THE FIRST THING OUT OF MY MOUTH WAS, "HOLY CRAP.
HE'S REALLY HERE.
" SHARI, MANY ATTEMPTS, OVER AND OVER AGAIN, AND SHE WASN'T GETTING ANYTHING.
THEN, FINALLY, IT HAPPENED.
THE VOICE ON THE RECORDER SAYS, "IT'S ME.
" WHEN I HEARD THAT EVP, INSTANTLY I THOUGHT, "IT WAS TO BE THE GRANDFATHER.
WHO ELSE COULD IT BE?" Castillo: WHEN PAUL SHOWED ME THE EVP, ME AND MY MOM LOOKED AT EACH OTHER, AND WE WERE COMPLETELY SHOCKED.
'CAUSE THAT WAS THE FIRST TIME I KNEW THAT IT WAS MY GRANDFATHER, AND I WAS MORE RELIEVED THAN ANYTHING.
Roberts: I REALLY FEEL LIKE THIS INVESTIGATION WAS A SUCCESS.
AND WE DID GE SOME KIND OF VALIDATION THAT THERE IS DEFINITELY A HAUNTING AT THE SALLY GARZA HOME.
Castillo: AFTER KNOWING IT WAS MY GRANDFATHER, I WAS COMFORTABLE TO BE ALONE.
IT FELT GOOD JUST TO NOT BE SCARED.
I WASN'T REALLY A BELIEVER UNTIL EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENED IN MY HOUSE -- THE INVESTIGATION, HEARING THE EVPs, JUST EVERYTHING MADE ME A BELIEVER.
