My Ghost Story (2010) s06e12 Episode Script

1 Owens: IT WAS THIS BLACK FIGURE.
IT LOOKED LIKE A MAN GRABBING FOR SOMETHING.
"WHAT THE HECK IS THAT?" Mike: ALL OF A SUDDEN, THIS BRIGHT LIGH COMES OUT OF THE POWER BOX FOR THE SHOWER HOUSE.
AND IT STOPS AND HESITATES IN FRONT OF OUR WINDOW.
IT'S LIKE IT'S LOOKING AT US.
THAT SCARES ME TO DEATH.
Bennett: I CAUGHT A VERY INTERESTING SHADOW.
IT MOVES QUICKLY FROM RIGHT TO LEFT.
IT'S PRETTY AMAZING.
Poirer: SUDDENLY, SHE SCREAM.
"I GOT TOUCH.
I GOT TOUCH.
" I WENT CRAZY.
Balenzano: WE'D FEEL THE WALLS CLOSING IN.
Poirer: CAN FEEL THAT SO MANY BAD THINGS HAPPEN THERE.
Howard: I LOOKED UP AND NOTICED A HEAD WALK BY.
MY HEART STARTED POUNDING.
I STARTED TO SHAKE.
I HAD SEEN A GHOST.
Panikowski: I WAS LIKE, "WHOA.
WHAT IS THAT?" I COULDN'T BELIEVE WHAT I SAW.
Howard: WHEN I LOOKED AT THAT PHOTOGRAPH, IT COULD BE MARK TWAIN.
I HAD SEEN A GHOST.
MY GHOST STORY BEGAN WHEN I STARTED TO WORK AT MARK TWAIN'S HOUSE.
I AM ACTUALLY A MUSEUM ASSISTAN AT THE MARK TWAIN HOUSE.
MARK TWAIN LIVED IN THE HOUSE BETWEEN 1874 AND 1891 WITH HIS FAMILY, AND HE WORKED ON SOME OF HIS MASTERPIECES AT THAT HOUSE, INCLUDING "ADVENTURES OF HUCKLEBERRY FINN" AND "THE ADVENTURES OF TOM SAWYER.
" MY ATTITUDE TOWARDS THE PARANORMAL WAS PRETTY MUCH NONEXISTENT.
I WAS VERY CYNICAL TOWARDS GHOSTS AND THE PARANORMAL OR ANYTHING LIKE THA UNTIL I STARTED WORKING AT THE MARK TWAIN HOUSE.
ONE OF THE WEIRDEST THINGS THAT HAS HAPPENED AT THE MARK TWAIN HOUSE INVOLVED A SMOKE DETECTOR.
AND ONE OF THE SECURITY GUARDS GOT A PHONE CALL IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGH SAYING THAT AN ALARM WAS GOING OFF AND HE NEEDED TO RESPOND TO IT.
SO HE SHOWED UP AT THE MARK TWAIN HOUSE ALONG WITH THE FIRE DEPARTMEN AND THE POLICE.
THEY CHECKED TO SEE WHERE IT WAS COMING FROM, AND IT ENDED UP BEING THE SMOKE ALARM IN THE BILLIARD ROOM.
BUT NOTHING WAS HAPPENING.
FINALLY, AFTER A FEW MINUTES, SOMEONE SPOKE UP AND SAID, "IS IT JUST ME, OR DOES SOMEONE SMELL CIGAR SMOKE?" AND EVERYONE IN THAT ROOM AGREED THAT THERE WAS A STRONG STENCH IN THE AIR.
IT'S DEFINITELY A POSSIBILITY THAT MARK TWAIN'S SPIRI MIGHT HAVE BEEN INVOLVED.
HE WAS KNOWN TO SMOKE QUITE OFTEN, AND NO ONE COULD EXPLAIN WHY THAT STENCH WAS SO STRONG ONLY IN THAT ROOM, ESPECIALLY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT.
WE HAD A LOCAL PARANORMAL GROUP COME AND INVESTIGATE, AND THEY CAUGHT NUMEROUS EVPs THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE HOUSE.
ONE OF THE ONES THAT CAUGH MY ATTENTION THE MOS WAS A VOICE THAT THEY CAUGHT IN THE KITCHEN AREA OF THE HOUSE.
"NOT YOUR PLACE.
" IT WAS DEFINITELY SPOOKY WHEN I HEARD THAT EVP.
MOST OF THE THINGS THAT HAPPEN IN THE TWAIN HOUSE SEEM CHILDLIKE AND IS ALWAYS TEASING.
SO TO HAVE SOMETHING SOUND A LITTLE BIT MEAN WAS DEFINITELY A LITTLE SCARY FOR ME.
A NUMBER OF VISITORS HAVE TAKEN PHOTOGRAPHS THAT HAVE CAPTURED APPARITIONS.
LINDA PANIKOWSKI IS ONE OF THEM.
Panikowski: I WANTED TO GO VISI THE MARK TWAIN HOUSE BECAUSE HE HAS A LOT OF LITERATURE THAT IS VERY INTERESTING TO ME.
SO WE DECIDED TO GO ON THIS TOUR, THE GRAVEYARD GHOST TOUR.
THE TOUR GUIDE TOLD US THAT WE WERE NOT ALLOWED TO TAKE PICTURES INSIDE THE HOUSE.
BUT WE COULD TAKE PICTURES OUTSIDE THE HOUSE IF WE WANTED TO.
SO I SNAPPED A FEW PICTURES, AND WE STARTED WALKING TOWARDS THE HOUSE.
I TOOK ANOTHER PICTURE.
WHEN I FIRST LOOKED AT THE PICTURE, I WAS LIKE, "WHOA.
WHAT IS THAT?" I HAD TO LOOK AGAIN, AND I COULDN'T BELIEVE WHAT I SAW.
MY EYES JUST ZOOMED TO THIS FIGURE THAT WAS ON THE PORCH.
IT WAS THE FIGURE OF A WOMAN IN RED VICTORIAN DRESS.
SO NOT ONLY WAS SHE IN THAT PHOTO, BUT WHEN I LOOKED A THE NEXT PHOTO, SHE HAD TURNED, AS IF SHE WERE WALKING INTO THE HOUSE.
I COULDN'T BELIEVE WHAT I SAW.
THINGS GOT EVEN STRANGER WHEN WE WENT INSIDE TO TAKE THE TOUR.
THE TOUR GUIDE LED US INTO ONE ROOM, AND MY FRIEND AND I KIND OF STAYED BACK INTO THE OTHER ROOM, BECAUSE WE WANTED TO HAVE AN EXTRA PEEK AROUND.
SO WE WERE STANDING THERE, AND I HEARD THESE FOOTSTEPS UPSTAIRS, AND THEN THE THIRD TIME I HEARD IT, I LOOKED AT MY FRIEND, AND SHE SAID, "DID YOU JUST HEAR THAT?" SO AS THE TOUR GUIDE MOVED INTO THE OTHER ROOM, WE STOPPED HER AND ASKED HER IF ANYONE ELSE WAS IN THE HOUSE.
NOW, SHE SAID THAT THE LAST TOUR HAD GONE OUT LONG AGO, SO THERE WAS NO ONE IN THE HOUSE.
Howard: FOOTSTEPS ARE SOMETHING THAT HAPPEN VERY OFTEN IN THE MARK TWAIN HOUSE.
THERE ARE NUMEROUS STORIES OF PEOPLE HEARING THEM, AND THEN WHEN THEY GO TO INVESTIGATE, NOTHING IS THERE.
MARK TWAIN WAS ALSO KNOWN TO PACE BACK AND FORTH, IN THE DINING ROOM, ESPECIALLY.
SO IT COULD POSSIBLY BE HIM.
SUSIE, MARK TWAIN'S OLDEST DAUGHTER, WAS DIAGNOSED WITH SPINAL MENINGITIS AND DIED IN THE HOUSE.
SO, BESIDES THE FAC THAT MARK TWAIN WOULD PACE BACK AND FORTH, YOU ALSO HAVE HIS DAUGHTER SICKLY WANDERING THROUGHOUT THE HOUSE, WHICH COULD ALSO CREATE THOSE HAUNTING FOOTSTEPS.
Panikowski: I WANTED TO FIND OU WHO THE PERSON IN THE PHOTO WAS, SO I CONTACTED THE MARK TWAIN HOUSE, AND THEY SAID, "WOW.
THIS LOOKS LIKE SUSIE CLEMENS.
" I WAS REALLY AMAZED THA I HAD CAPTURED THIS SPIRIT.
SO, AT THAT POINT, I KNEW THAT IT WAS REALLY A SPECIAL PHOTOGRAPH.
Howard: WE HAD ANOTHER LOCAL PARANORMAL GROUP COME AND INVESTIGATE, AND THEY TRIED TO COMMUNICATE WITH HER BY HAVING HER TAP.
THEY ASKED HER TO DO I ONE MORE TIME, AND SHE DID LITERALLY TAP ONE MORE TIME.
I COULDN'T BELIEVE THA SHE ACTUALLY RESPONDED TO THEM EXACTLY AS THEY HAD ASKED HER TO.
SO IT DEFINITELY SEEMED LIKE AN INTELLIGENT SPIRIT.
I HAD A RUN-IN WITH SUSIE CLEMENS A FEW YEARS AGO.
I WAS GIVING A TOUR.
I HAD PICKED UP THE FAMILY PHOTOS, AND WHEN I STARTED TALKING ABOUT SUSIE, I LOOKED UP AND NOTICED A HEAD WALK BY THE GLASS IN FRONT OF ME.
I IMMEDIATELY THOUGHT THA IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN A VISITOR WHO GOT LOOSE FROM A TOUR, OR A CO-WORKER WALKING BY, AND DECIDED TO KEEP MY EYE ON THEM.
AS I DID SO, I NOTICED THE FIGURE MOVED PAST ANOTHER DOORWAY.
AND THEN, FINALLY, I SAW SOMETHING OUT OF THE CORNER OF MY EYE, TO THE RIGHT.
AS I TURNED TO CHECK ON WHAT THAT WAS, I SAW A FULL-BODIED APPARITION OF A WOMAN.
I SAW THE DRESS FLOAT BEHIND HER.
I SAW HER HAIR UPSWEPT.
EVERY DETAIL WAS THERE, AND SHE WAS RUNNING.
THE TOURISTS DIDN'T SEE THE SPIRI BECAUSE THEY WERE FACING ME, AND SO EVERYTHING I SAW WAS HAPPENING BEHIND THEM.
MY HEART STARTED POUNDING.
I STARTED TO SHAKE.
I ALMOST FELT LIKE I WAS HAVING A PANIC ATTACK.
BUT WHEN I FINALLY BEGAN TO CALM DOWN A LITTLE BIT LATER, I REALIZED THAT I HAD SEEN A GHOST.
I BELIEVE THE GHOS TO BE SUSIE CLEMENS.
THERE WERE A LOT OF SIMILARITIES BETWEEN WHAT I HAD SEEN AND PHOTOGRAPHS OF SUSIE.
Panikowski: WHEN I HEARD THAT MALLORY HAD ALSO SEEN THE SPIRIT OF SUSIE CLEMENS WHILE DOING THE TOUR, IT WAS PROOF TO ME THAT THESE PHOTOS WERE OF SOMEONE SPECIFIC.
I DID DECIDE TO RETURN TO THE MARK TWAIN HOUSE TO SEE IF I COULD GET MORE PHOTOGRAPHS OF THE SPIRITS.
SO I WALKED AROUND THE HOUSE A NIGHT, AND I TOOK MANY PHOTOS.
LATER ON, WHEN I LOOKED, I SAW THAT THERE WAS A PHOTOGRAPH OF A RED ORB IN THE SECOND-FLOOR WINDOW AREA.
THAT WAS SUSIE'S BEDROOM.
SHE WAS ON THE SECOND FLOOR.
MAYBE SUSIE CLEMENS IS STILL KIND OF HANGING AROUND.
PROBABLY THE MOST INTERESTING PHOTO WAS THE PHOTO OF A FIGURE THAT WAS STANDING ON THE PORCH ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE WINDOW.
HE HAS A BLACK JACKET ON, LOOKS LIKE A WHITE COLLAR, AND IT LOOKS LIKE HE'S KIND OF TURNED, AS IF HE'S GOING TO BE GOING DOWN THE PORCH.
Howard: WHEN I LOOKED AT THAT PHOTOGRAPH, I DEFINITELY THOUGH THAT IT COULD BE MARK TWAIN.
HE CERTAINLY SPENT A LOT OF TIME ON THE PORCH, SO IT COULD POTENTIALLY BE HIM.
Panikowski: I AM 100% CONVINCED THAT THE SPIRIT OF MARK TWAIN AND PERHAPS HIS FAMILY ARE STILL HANGING AROUND THE HOUSE.
Howard: I THINK MARK TWAIN ABSOLUTELY LOVES THE FAC THAT TOURISTS ARE GOING THROUGH HIS HOUSE.
HE LOVED TO SHOW OFF.
HE LOVED PEOPLE TO GOSSIP ABOUT HIM.
AND HE WAS ALWAYS CURIOUS ABOUT THE SUPERNATURAL HIMSELF.
Panikowski: THIS EXPERIENCE HAS BEEN VERY COMFORTING TO ME.
IT FEELS LIKE ABSOLUTE PROOF THAT THERE IS SOMETHING BEYOND THIS LIFE AS WE KNOW IT.
Howard: MARK TWAIN ONCE WROTE SOMETHING THAT FORESHADOWED WHAT IS GOING ON NOW.
HE SAID THAT "OUR HOUSE HAS BECOME A CEMETERY, "BUT NOT IN ANY REPELLENT SENSE.
"THEIR LIVES MADE IT BEAUTIFUL.
THEIR DEATH HAS HALLOWED IT.
THEY WILL BE WITH US ALWAYS, AND THERE WILL BE NO PARTING.
" Garcia: THE HAIR ON MY ARMS JUST STOOD UP ON END.
Owens: I WAS JUST ON EDGE.
"WHAT THE HECK IS THAT?" I KNOW FOR A FACT THAT NO ONE WALKED INTO THAT SHOT.
THIS IS SOMETHING THAT I COULDN'T EXPLAIN.
Garcia: THERE'S NO DOUB IN MY MIND THAT SPIRITS ARE HAUNTING THE HOTEL.
Garcia: THE HAIR ON MY ARMS JUST STOOD UP ON END.
Owens: I WAS JUST ON EDGE.
"WHAT THE HECK IS THAT?" Garcia: THERE'S NO DOUB IN MY MIND THAT SPIRITS ARE HAUNTING THE HOTEL.
MY GHOST STORY BEGAN AT THE PALOMAR INN HOTEL IN TEMECULA, CALIFORNIA.
THE PALOMAR HOTEL IS LOCATED IN OLD TOWN TEMECULA.
I'M A TOUR GUIDE.
I DRESS UP AS AN 1880s U.
S.
MARSHAL, AND I JUST TAKE PEOPLE THROUGH THE STREETS OF OLD TOWN AND TELL THEM ABOUT THE HISTORY OF OLD TOWN.
I NEVER REALLY HAD ANY FEELINGS THAT THE HOTEL WAS HAUNTED, ALTHOUGH YOU KIND OF HAVE IN THE BACK OF YOUR MIND THAT, BECAUSE IT'S BEEN AROUND FOR A LONG TIME, THAT POSSIBLY THERE COULD BE SOME ACTIVITY THERE.
Owens: I MET DALE THROUGH THE OWNER OF THE HOTEL.
I'M A PHOTOGRAPHER.
I'VE BEEN WORKING ON A VINTAGE-THEMED BOOK OF PHOTOS.
I HAD COME INTO TEMECULA AND WAS DOING A PHOTO SHOO AT THE PALOMAR INN.
AND THE OWNER RECOMMENDED THAT I MEET DALE, AND WE GOT TO TALKING ABOUT THE HISTORY OF THE HOTEL.
Garcia: THE PALOMAR HOTEL WAS BUILT IN 1928.
IT'S A SMALL HOTEL, ABOU 3,000 SQUARE FEET, WITH 8 ROOMS.
IT WAS BUILT DURING THE DAYS OF THE PROHIBITION, SO WHEN YOU'RE STAYING THERE, YOU JUST FEEL LIKE YOU'VE ACTUALLY KIND OF GONE BACK IN TIME.
ONE SUNDAY AFTERNOON, IT WAS LIKE LATE IN THE EVENING, I HAD STOPPED BY THE HOTEL, AND I'D ASKED THE OWNER IF HE DIDN'T MIND IF I TOOK SOME PICTURES.
SO WHAT I DID WAS I WENT UPSTAIRS.
AND I ALWAYS CARRY A DIGITAL RECORDER WITH ME.
SO I TOOK MY PICTURES AND LEFT.
I WENT HOME, AND I LOOKED AT THE PICTURES.
DIDN'T REALLY NOTICE ANYTHING.
AND THEN I REALIZED I HAD MY DIGITAL RECORDER, SO I DOWNLOADED THE FILES ONTO THE COMPUTER.
AND ABOUT 20 SECONDS INTO THE FIRST FILE, I HEARD SOMETHING THAT WAS STARTLING AND SURPRISING AT THE SAME TIME A VOICE TELLING ME TO GO AWAY.
WHEN I HEARD THAT RECORDING, DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO MAKE OF IT.
I DID GET GOOSE BUMPS, AND THE HAIR ON MY ARMS JUST STOOD UP ON END.
I DON'T KNOW WHY SOMEBODY WAS TELLING ME TO GO AWAY.
I DIDN'T HEAR THE "GO AWAY" WHEN I WAS THERE, 'CAUSE I CAN TELL YOU, IF I WOULD'VE WALKED UPSTAIRS AND TURNED ON THE LIGHT, AND SOMEBODY WOULD'VE SAID "GO AWAY" AS LOUD AS THEY DID, I WOULD'VE DEFINITELY LEFT.
ONCE I HEARD THE "GO AWAY," I WENT BACK AND LOOKED AT MY PICTURES.
SURE ENOUGH, I GOT WHAT MOS PEOPLE WOULD CALL IS AN ORB.
THERE'S THREE CONSECUTIVE SHOTS, AND THERE'S ONLY ONE ORB.
THE STRIKING THING ABOUT I IS THAT IT'S IN EACH OF THREE PICTURES THAT I TOOK, AND IT'S MOVING WITH ME.
AND THAT IN ITSELF REALLY JUS STARTED ME THINKING ABOU THAT THERE COULD BE SOMETHING THERE MORE, AT THE HOTEL, THAN I ORIGINALLY THOUGHT.
Owens: IN FEBRUARY, I WENT TO THE PALOMAR INN TO DO A SCOUT.
WHEN I FIRST WALKED IN, I WAS EXCITED TO BE THERE, AND I TOOK A ROOM UPSTAIRS.
I DIDN'T FEEL ANYTHING.
I WENT TO SLEEP WITH A RECORDER ON MY SINK.
AND LATER, WHEN I LISTENED BACK TO THAT AUDIO, THERE WAS A VOICE.
"GO AWAY.
" WHEN I HEARD THE RECORDING, IT DID GIVE ME PAUSE.
NO ONE LIKES TO BE TOLD TO GO AWAY.
LATER, WHEN I LET DALE HEAR IT, HE REACTED THAT, "OH, THAT SOUNDS VERY SIMILAR TO THE VOICE THAT I PICKED UP IN THE SAME ROOM.
" Garcia: I FIND IT INTERESTING, BECAUSE WE'VE BOTH BEEN TOLD TO GO AWAY FROM THE HOTEL.
AND I WANT TO KNOW WHO THESE SPIRITS ARE.
WHY ARE THEY THERE? WHY DO THEY WANT TO COMMUNICATE WITH ME? I THINK THE FACT IS THAT NOT KNOWING WHERE THESE VOICES ARE COMING FROM MAKES YOU REALLY UNEASY, SOMETIMES MAYBE A LITTLE FEARFUL.
AFTER I LISTENED TO CRAIG'S RECORDINGS, I DECIDED TO TALK TO THE OWNER, AND I ASKED HIM IF THERE WERE ANY STORIES ABOUT THE HOTEL BEING HAUNTED.
AND HE DID TELL ME THAT THERE WAS A STORY, AND THAT HE KNEW A HOUSEKEEPER THAT HAD EXPERIENCED SOMETHING.
THIS HOUSEKEEPER WAS A YOUNG WOMAN WHO USED TO BRING HER 3-YEAR-OLD DAUGHTER WITH HER.
IT SEEMS THAT EVERY TIME THAT THE DAUGHTER WAS THERE, THAT RIGHT BEFORE THEY LEFT, THE DAUGHTER WOULD GO OVER TO THE OPENING OF THE WOMEN'S RESTROOM.
AND SHE WOULD GO LIKE THIS -- "BYE-BYE, BOY.
" AND THEN THEY WOULD LEAVE.
THESE STORIES JUST REALLY CONFIRMED THAT THERE'S SOMETHING GOING ON AT THE HOTEL.
ONE EVENING, I WAS DOING A TOUR, AND ONE LADY TOOK A PICTURE OF THE STAIRS.
AND SHE GOT TWO CONSECUTIVE PICTURES -- ONE WITH THE FLASH.
AND IN THE FLASH PICTURE, YOU CAN SEE THERE'S ABSOLUTELY NOBODY UPSTAIRS.
BUT THE SECOND PICTURE, WITHOUT THE FLASH, YOU CAN SEE A SHADOWY SHAPE SITTING ON THE STAIRS THAT ALMOST LOOKS LIKE A LITTLE BOY SITTING THERE.
AND I THOUGH THAT WAS REALLY SURPRISING.
AS A MATTER OF FACT, WE CAN'T EXPLAIN WHERE THAT SHADOW CAME FROM.
WE TRIED TO RE-CREATE I DURING THAT TIME, AND WE COULDN'T RE-CREATE THE SHADOW USING ANY OF THE LIGHTS OR CAMERAS THAT WE HAD.
Owens: THE PICTURE OF THE LITTLE BOY ON THE STAIRS COULD VERY WELL BE RELATED OR SEEM TO CORROBORATE THE STORY OF THE LITTLE GIRL THAT WOULD SEE THE SPIRIT OF A CHILD.
IT COULD VERY WELL BE PARANORMAL.
EVEN THOUGH I HAD THESE STRANGE EXPERIENCES, I STILL WANTED TO DO THE SHOOT.
SO, TWO MONTHS LATER, I COME BACK TO THE PALOMAR INN -- THIS TIME, WITH MODELS.
IT WAS ABOUT 5:30 IN THE AFTERNOON.
THE SUN WAS BEGINNING TO GO DOWN.
WE WERE TRYING TO DO A SHO BEFORE BREAKING FOR DINNER.
WE WENT DOWN TO THE LOBBY, AND I HAD THE CAMERA SET UP.
I HAD THE MODEL IN PLACE.
AND AFTER FIRING OFF A SERIES OF SHOTS, I TOOK THE CAMERA OFF THE TRIPOD.
I WENT OVER TO THE MODEL TO SHOW HIM WHAT I HAD SHOT.
AND SO, AS WE WERE GOING OVER THE PICTURES, HE IS ACTUALLY THE FIRST ONE TO SPOT THIS DARK IMAGE ON THE SCREEN.
AND HIS REACTION WAS, "WHAT THE HECK IS THAT?" I LOOKED AT IT, AND I COULDN'T EXPLAIN IT AT ALL.
IT WAS THIS BLACK FIGURE.
I GOT KIND OF EXCITED, BECAUSE THIS IS SOMETHING THAT I COULDN'T EXPLAIN.
IT CLEARLY LOOKED LIKE A MAN IN PERIOD CLOTHING STEPPING INTO THE SHO AND LEANING OVER, AS IF GRABBING FOR SOMETHING.
I KNOW FOR A FACT THAT NO ONE WALKED INTO THAT SHOT.
WHAT KIND OF BLEW ME AWAY ABOU THE WHOLE THING IS THE FAC THAT WHEN I TRIED TO FIGURE OU WHAT WAS THE FIGURE DOING, AND I SAW THAT HE WAS REACHING FOR SOMETHING -- AND WHAT WE DISCOVERED FROM LOOKING AT THE PAST PHOTOS WAS THAT THERE WAS A STACK OF HOTEL BROCHURES ON THE TABLE.
BUT THE BROCHURES WERE MISSING.
WHEN WE FOUND THOSE BROCHURES, THEY WERE STACKED IN THE CORNER BEHIND ME.
I FOUND THAT PICTURE VERY UNUSUAL, THAT IF IT'S AN APPARITION, WHICH I BELIEVE IT IS, THAT AT THAT SPLIT MOMENT OF TIME WHEN I TOOK THAT PICTURE, I CAUGHT SOMETHING IN THE AC OF LITERALLY MOVING SOMETHING FROM ONE POSITION TO ANOTHER POSITION.
THEY DISAPPEARED, AND THEN THEY REAPPEARED.
I WAS JUST ON EDGE, BECAUSE I WANTED SO MUCH TO TRY TO EXPLAIN THAT PHOTO, HOW THAT PERSON GOT THERE.
WITHOUT A DOUBT, I EXPERIENCED PARANORMAL ACTIVITY AT THE HOTEL.
I WOULD ACTUALLY GO AS FAR AS TO SAY THAT THE PALOMAR PROBABLY HAS THE MOST INTELLIGENT HAUNTING, AS FAR AS HOTELS GO, IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA.
Garcia: IT'S A DIFFERENT FEELING, GOING TO THE HOTEL, FOR ME NOW.
IT'S CAUSED ME TO THINK THA THERE MIGHT BE SOMEBODY THERE.
IT'S JUST REALLY CREEPY.
THERE'S NO DOUBT IN MY MIND THAT SPIRITS ARE HAUNTING THE HOTEL.
Bennett: I CAUGH A VERY INTERESTING SHADOW, WHICH SEEMS TO GO BACK AND FORTH.
IT'S PRETTY AMAZING.
Pietrewicz: THE SPIRITS ARE THERE, AND THEY CAN RESPOND.
Bennett: I CAUGHT THIS CHILLING MOAN.
Bennett: I CAUGHT THIS CHILLING MOAN, LIKE HE WAS JUST RIGHT THERE IN THE ROOM WITH US.
AND THEN IT SOUNDED LIKE SOMEBODY WITH BOOTS WAS WALKING ON THE ROOF.
Pietrewicz: MY GHOST STORY BEGAN WHEN I STARTED VOLUNTEERING AT THE WEEMS-BOTTS MUSEUM IN DUMFRIES, VIRGINIA.
WEEMS-BOTTS MUSEUM WAS BUILT AROUND 1749, ABOUT THE SAME TIME AS DUMFRIES, VIRGINIA, WAS SETTLED.
AND THEN IN 1869, THE MERCHANT FAMILY BOUGHT IT.
AND THEY MOVED INTO THE BUILDING.
IT WAS THE HUSBAND, RICHARD, THE WIFE, ANNIE, AND TWO DAUGHTERS -- MARY AND VIOLET, WHO WAS THEIR YOUNGER DAUGHTER.
FROM ABOUT SEPTEMBER 1861, DURING THE CIVIL WAR, UNTIL MARCH OF 1862, THERE WERE ABOUT 10,000 TROOPS POSTED IN DUMFRIES.
THEY WERE DYING LEFT AND RIGH FROM TYPHOID, CHOLERA, MEASLES.
THERE ARE SO MANY MEN WHO DIED THERE, WHERE THE MUSEUM IS LOCATED IS BASICALLY A MASS GRAVE.
SOON AFTER I STARTED VOLUNTEERING AT THE MUSEUM, I STARTED HEARING STORIES.
ONE STORY WAS ABOUT A PAINTER WHO WAS IN THERE, AND HE RAN OUT OF THE BUILDING 'CAUSE HE HEARD THE ORGAN PLAYING [ ORGAN PLAYING .]
WHICH DOESN'T WORK.
THERE HAVE BEEN OCCASIONS WHERE PEOPLE HAVE SEEN SOMEONE SITTING IN THE ROCKING CHAIR ON THE PORCH.
THE WHOLE AREA HAS PARANORMAL ACTIVITY GOING ON.
DAVID ORIGINALLY CAME BECAUSE HE WAS INTERESTED IN THE HISTORY OF THE PLACE.
[ KNOCK ON DOOR .]
Bennett: I'M A BELIEVER IN THE PARANORMAL.
AND SOMEONE HAD MENTIONED THE WEEMS-BOTTS MUSEUM TO ME.
I KNEW THAT THERE WAS SUPPOSEDLY PARANORMAL ACTIVITY THERE.
I BEGAN TO ASK OTHER PEOPLE TO GO THERE WITH ME, SOME PEOPLE I KNEW WHO WERE, LIKE, SENSITIVE.
WHEN WE ARRIVED FOR THE INVESTIGATION, I DID WHAT I TYPICALLY DO, WHICH IS I WALK AROUND WITH A CAMERA.
AND I TOOK SOME PHOTOGRAPHS AROUND THE MUSEUM.
AND I CAUGHT SOME PHOTOGRAPHS WHICH SEEM TO SHOW SHADOW MASS.
UPSTAIRS, IN VIOLET'S ROOM, THE SHADOW WAS SWIRLING IN AN UPWARD MOTION FROM A WINDOW THAT WAS BEHIND THE BED THIS SORT OF WINDOW TO NOWHERE.
JUST -- THERE'S A BRICK WALL BEHIND IT.
THIS WINDOW IS KNOWN TO OPEN A LOT ON ITS OWN, SO I THOUGHT THIS WAS ALL VERY INTERESTING.
LATER THAT EVENING, IN THE VICTORIAN PARLOR, THE FURNITURE HAD BEEN REARRANGED THAT WEEK.
AND A LOT OF TIMES, CHANGES TO THE ENVIRONMEN ARE KNOWN TO GET A REACTION.
AND I WAS TALKING, ACTUALLY, ABOUT THE ARRANGEMEN OF THE FURNITURE, WHEN THE SENSITIVE AND MYSELF BOTH HEARD A FEMALE VOICE.
THE FEMALE VOICE ACTUALLY SOUNDS LIKE SHE'S REPEATING WHAT I SAID -- "OVER HERE.
" I THINK THE FEMALE VOICE WAS VIOLET, ONE OF THE SPIRITS KNOWN TO HAUNT THE MUSEUM.
LATER THAT NIGHT, WE CAUGH ON AUDIO TWO KNOCKS.
AND THEN IT SOUNDS AS THOUGH A MALE VOICE SAYS, "HELP ME.
" IT'S PRETTY AMAZING.
Panikowski: IT'S KIND OF A VALIDATION OF MY PERSONAL BELIEFS THAT THEY ARE THERE AND THEY CAN RESPOND.
Bennett: AFTER CATCHING THE MALE VOICE IN THE PARLOR, WE WENT UPSTAIRS INTO MARY'S ROOM WHERE THERE WAS ALSO VERY INTERESTING ACTIVITY.
ON VIDEO, THERE'S A SHADOW WHICH SEEMS TO GO BACK AND FORTH IN FRONT OF THE CAMERA THAT I CAN'T EXPLAIN.
THERE WERE NO INSECTS IN THE ROOM.
THERE WERE HEAVY DRAPES ON THE WINDOWS, NO LIGHTS COMING IN OR ANYTHING.
AND JUST MINUTES AFTER THAT, ANOTHER GUY DID THE "SHAVE AND A HAIRCUT" KNOCKS.
[ KNOCKING RHYTHMICALLY .]
AND HE GOT TWO TAPS IN REPLY, COMPLETING THE TUNE THAT HE WAS KNOCKING.
[ KNOCKING RHYTHMICALLY .]
I WAS REALLY AMAZED AT HOW MUCH THERE WAS THIS NIGH AND HOW CLEAR THE RESPONSES, LIKE THE KNOCKS, WERE.
[ KNOCKING RHYTHMICALLY .]
BESIDES ALL OF THE ACTIVITY IN MARY'S ROOM THAT NIGHT THERE WAS TRULY FASCINATING ACTIVITY IN VIOLET'S ROOM THAT WAS ALSO CAUGHT.
ON AUDIO, WE HEARD FOOTSTEPS.
IT SOUNDED LIKE SOMEBODY WITH BOOTS WAS WALKING ON THE ROOF.
WE BOTH VERY CLEARLY HEARD THIS AND COULDN'T BELIEVE OUR EARS.
IT SOUNDS LIKE SOMEONE WEARING BOOTS WALKING ON THE ROOF.
Pietrewicz: I'M NOT SURE IF IT WAS VIOLET OR NOT.
IT MAY HAVE BEEN ANOTHER ENTITY.
Bennett: WHAT MAKES I EVEN MORE AMAZING IS THAT JUST TWO MINUTES AFTER THIS, ON MY AUDIO RECORDER THAT WAS SITTING ON THE BED, I CAUGHT THIS CHILLING MOAN.
IT'S SO CLEAR, LIKE HE WAS JUS RIGHT THERE IN THE ROOM WITH US.
THIS MOAN IS ABSOLUTELY ONE OF THE MOST CHILLING EVPs I'VE EVER CAUGHT.
Pietrewicz: AFTER SEEING ALL THE EVIDENCE I'M CONVINCED THAT THE WEEMS-BOTTS MUSEUM IS HAUNTED.
Bennett: I BELIEVE THERE WILL ALWAYS BE PARANORMAL ACTIVITY AT THE WEEMS-BOTTS MUSEUM.
THESE SPIRITS, MANY OF THEM, I BELIEVE, ARE JUST NOT ABLE TO MOVE ON.
[ KNOCKING RHYTHMICALLY .]
Pietrewicz: I DON'T BELIEVE THOSE SPIRITS WILL EVER LEAVE.
I THINK IT'S THEIR HOME, AND THEY'RE THERE.
THAT'S WHERE THEY PROBABLY HAD THE HAPPIEST MOMENTS, AND THERE'S NO REASON FOR THEM TO GO.
Balenzano: PEOPLE HAVE GOTTEN HURT.
THEY CAN'T GUARANTEE YOUR SAFETY ON THAT FLOOR.
Poirer: SO MANY BAD THINGS HAPPENED THERE.
BE SCARED.
IT'S NOT FUNNY.
Balenzano: "WAIT A SECOND, NOW.
MAYBE THERE IS SUCH A THING AS A GHOST.
" Poirer: SO MANY BAD THINGS HAPPENED THERE.
Balenzano: "WAIT A SECOND, NOW.
MAYBE THERE IS SUCH A THING AS A GHOST.
" MY GHOST STORY BEGAN IN THE H.
I.
HOSTEL IN ONTARIO, CANADA.
THE OTTAWA H.
I.
HOSTEL WAS ORIGINALLY A JAIL FOR MEN, WOMEN, AND CHILDREN IN OTTAWA.
AND IT WAS BUILT IN 1862.
ONE OF THE MOST FAMOUS INHABITANTS WAS PATRICK WHELAN.
IN 1869, PATRICK WHELAN WAS WANTED ON THE ASSASSINATION OF THOMAS D'ARCY McGEE, WHO WAS THE RIGHT-HAND MAN OF THE PRIME MINISTER AT THE TIME IN CANADA.
WITHIN A FEW DAYS, HE WAS CAUGH AND EXECUTED IN FRON OF 5,000 PEOPLE.
Woman: [ SCREAMS .]
Balenzano: APPARENTLY, A LOT OF TORTURE HAPPENED AT THE JAILHOUSE.
THERE WAS PAIN AND SUFFERING, EVEN HIDDEN MURDERS.
WELL, IN 1972, THEY DECIDED TO CLOSE IT DOWN BECAUSE OF THE INHUMANE CONDITIONS.
AND THAT'S WHEN IT WAS BOUGH AND TURNED INTO A YOUTH HOSTEL.
THERE ARE MANY WHO BELIEVE THE SPIRIT OF PATRICK WHELAN AND POSSIBLY A LO OF OTHER SPIRITS ARE STILL HAUNTING THE HOSTEL TODAY.
I'M MORE OF A SCIENTIFIC DISBELIEVER.
SO AFTER I HEARD ABOUT THE PARANORMAL ACTIVITY HAPPENING THERE, I WANTED TO DISPROVE IT.
SO I DECIDED TO TAKE MY FRIEND JACQUES AND HIS SISTER AND MY WIFE THERE, AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS.
Poirer: THE HOSTEL IS IDENTICAL AS WHAT IT WAS IN 1862.
THEY DID A FEW CHANGES INSIDE, BUT OUTSIDE, IT'S THE SAME.
IT'S DARK.
THE ENERGY IS VERY NEGATIVE.
IT'S VERY CREEPY.
IT'S SCARY.
[ DIGITAL CAMERA BEEPS .]
Balenzano: AS SOON AS WE GOT THERE, WE DECIDED TO TAKE AS MANY PICTURES AS POSSIBLE AND SEE WHAT COMES UP.
[ CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS .]
RIGHT AWAY, YOU SEE A BIG ORB ON ONE OF THE PICTURES.
IT WAS A VERY CLOUDY NIGHT, A VERY DARK NIGHT.
AND TO SEE SUCH A BIG, WHITE BALL OF ENERGY OUTSIDE THE EIGHTH FLOOR WAS SOMETHING PRETTY SPECTACULAR TO CATCH ON FILM.
THE YOUTH HOSTEL HAS EIGHT FLOORS.
THE BEDS ARE IN THE OLD CELL ROOMS.
AND THE MOST PARANORMAL ACTIVITY HAPPENS ON THE EIGHTH FLOOR.
THAT'S WHERE YOU HAVE DEATH ROW.
Poirer: WHEN I FIRST WALK IN, I HAVE SHIVERS DOWN MY SPINE.
Balenzano: ORIGINALLY, THE EIGHTH FLOOR, PEOPLE WERE ABLE TO SLEEP ON.
BUT BECAUSE OF TOO MUCH PARANORMAL ACTIVITY HAPPENING, THEY DECIDED TO CLOSE IT DOWN.
YOU COULD GO VISIT, BUT THEY CAN'T GUARANTEE YOUR SAFETY ON THAT FLOOR.
PEOPLE HAVE GOTTEN HURT, WHETHER IT IS A DISMEMBERMENT OF FINGERS OR THINGS FALLING ON PEOPLE.
Poirer: EVEN TODAY, PEOPLE WORKING IN THE RECEPTION OF THE HOSTEL AT NIGH ARE SHUTTING DOWN THE SECURITY CAMERA ON THE EIGHTH FLOOR, BECAUSE THEY'RE SEEING THINGS WALKING AROUND.
THE MAJORITY OF THEM QUI THE JOB AFTER A FEW WEEKS BECAUSE IT'S TOO CREEPY FOR THEM.
DANIEL AND I, WE HAD THE LITTLE RECORDER.
WE WERE HOPING TO HAVE ANSWERS TO OUR QUESTION.
SO WE WALK AROUND, TRYING TO COMMUNICATE WITH WHOEVER IS THERE.
WE HEARD THINGS ALL NIGHT LONG -- SLAMMING DOORS, CLANGING CHAINS ON THE FLOOR, FOOTSTEPS.
Balenzano: WE TOOK MANY PICTURES THAT NIGHT, AND THERE'S LOTS AND LOTS OF ORBS.
[ CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKING .]
IT'S POSSIBLE THAT THESE ORBS COULD BE SPIRITS MANIFESTING THEMSELVES, OR BALLS OF ENERGY TRYING TO PORTRAY SOME TYPE OF MESSAGE TOWARDS US.
Poirer: AT SOME POINT, I WAS ALONE TAKING PICTURES.
WHILE I WAS THERE, I WAS FEELING THE PRESENCE OF SOMEONE.
BUT I DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING.
AND SUDDENLY, I HEARD A BREATH JUSTRIGHT BESIDE MY EAR.
[ EXHALES .]
AT THE MOMENT THAT HAPPENED, I WENT CRAZY.
I RAN AND TOLD DANIEL, AND WE WENT BACK, AND THERE WAS NOTHING.
A LITTLE BIT LATER, WE WERE LISTENING TO THE RECORDING, AND WE HEARD THE BREATH.
IT'S PRETTY SCARY.
AND WHEN I SAW THE PICTURE, I GOT GOOSE BUMP.
I SAID, "THAT'S WHAT I WAS FEELING.
" I WAS SURE THERE WAS SOMETHING THERE.
WE CAN SEE AT THE END OF THE HALLWAY, A KIND OF DARK SHADOW THAT LOOKS LIKE A TALL GUY.
WE THINK THA IT'S PATRICK WHELAN CLAIMING HIS INNOCENCE.
BUT IT CAN BE A LOT OF PEOPLE, BECAUSE A LOT OF BAD THINGS HAPPENED IN THAT PLACE OVER THE YEARS.
Balenzano: IT'S VERY POSSIBLE IT COULD BE A GHOST, A SPIRIT TRYING TO MANIFEST ITSELF, OR JUST REALLY BAD, NEGATIVE ENERGY 'CAUSE OF ALL THE HUR AND THE PAIN IN THE PLACE, TRYING TO SCARE US TO GET OUT OF THERE.
[ CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS .]
I DECIDED TO GO INSIDE ONE OF THE CELLS TO SEE WHAT THE EXPERIENCE WOULD BE LIKE.
I TAKE MY RECORDER, PUT IT ON THE BED NEXT TO ME, AND LAY DOWN.
RIGHT AWAY, WITH THE CELL BEING ABOUT 3 FEET BY 8 FEET, YOU FEEL CLAUSTROPHOBIC.
YOU FEEL THE WALLS CLOSING IN ON YOU.
YOU CAN IMAGINE, BACK IN THE 1870s, THERE'D BE THREE, FOUR, FIVE PEOPLE IN SUCH A SMALL CELL, NOT ABLE TO MOVE.
AND YOU WANT TO GET OUT OF THERE RIGHT AWAY, 'CAUSE YOU KNOW -- YOU HAVE A FEELING SOMETHING'S GONNA HAPPEN IN THERE.
AND YOU START HEARING BANGING ON THE CELLS AND, LIKE, SOMEONE WALKING.
I'M STARTING TO ASK MYSELF, "AM I GOING CRAZY? AM I REALLY HEARING THIS?" I'M HAVING A VERY HARD TIME BREATHING.
I'M SWEATING.
MY HEART'S BEATING FAST.
I'M SAYING, "OKAY.
WAIT A SECOND, NOW.
WHOA.
MAYBE THERE IS SUCH A THING AS A GHOST.
" THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN, THE SOUNDS SEEM TO BE GETTING LOUDER AND LOUDER, AND THE FOOTSTEPS ARE GETTING CLOSER.
I OPEN THE DOOR AND GET THE HECK OUT OF THERE AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE.
AND I DON'T LOOK BEHIND ME.
I DON'T WANT TO SEE ANYTHING.
AND WHAT SEEMED LIKE I WAS IN THERE FOR HOURS, I GO TO THE OTHER SIDE, AND THEY'D SAID, "YOU'RE ALREADY OUT? YOU WERE JUST IN THERE A COUPLE MINUTES.
" SO THEN I JUST PLAYED BACK THE RECORDER AND SEE -- DID I CATCH ANY OF THIS STUFF? I COULDN'T BELIEVE WHAT I HEARD.
I'M NOT CRAZY.
THERE'S ACTUALLY STUFF HAPPENING HERE.
THEN, TO MY SURPRISE, A VOICE ANSWERING ONE OF MY QUESTIONS.
AND WHAT IT SAID WAS Poirer: WHEN I HEARD THAT, I GO GOOSE BUMPS ALL OVER THE PLACE, AND IT WAS VERY "WOW.
WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?" Balenzano: THEN RIGHT AWAY, LIKE WITHIN 10 SECONDS, YOU HEAR A VERY STRONG WHICH SCARED THE CRAP OUT OF ALL OF US.
THIS WAS VERY CLEAR, TELLING US WE'RE NOT WANTED, WE'RE NOT WELCOME.
"BAD THINGS ARE GONNA HAPPEN IF YOU STAY HERE THAT NIGHT.
" YOU DON'T WANT TO MESS WITH SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
WHEN IT SAYS GET OUT, YOU GET OUT OF THERE.
Poirer: I DON'T THINK I RAN THAT FAST IN MY LIFE.
Balenzano: THIS WHOLE EXPERIENCE CHANGED MY OPINION ON GHOSTS.
BEFORE, I WAS GOING IN THERE AS A DOUBTER, AS A DISBELIEVER, AS A DISPROVER.
AND NOW I KNOW WITHOUT A DOUB THERE ARE GHOSTS.
THE H.
I.
HOSTEL IS ACTUALLY HAUNTED.
IT IS THE MOST SCARIEST PLACE I'VE EVER BEEN.
AND IT'S NOT A PLACE I'M EVER GONNA GO BACK ALONE.
THAT'S FOR SURE.
Poirer: WE WERE GOING THERE TO HAVE FUN, YOU KNOW, TO LIVE AN EXPERIENCE.
AND SUDDENLY, THINGS HAPPENING ALL AROUND THE PLACE -- DOORS SLAMMING, AND CLANGING CHAINS, FOOTSTEPS, DARK SHADOWS, BIG ORBS, THAT ANGRY VOICE.
THAT WAS REALLY HARD ON ME.
TO BE SCARED, IT'S NOT FUNNY.
I WON'T GO IN PLACES THAT ARE SUPPOSEDLY "HAUNTED.
" IT'S NOT FOR ME ANYMORE.
THAT WAS THE LAST SCARY NIGH OF MY LIFE.
Cathy: ACROSS THE RECORDER COMES THIS VOICE.
I WAS TOTALLY AMAZED.
Mike: ALL OF A SUDDEN, THIS BRIGHT LIGHT COMES OUT.
IT'S LIKE IT'S LOOKING AT US.
Cathy: THIS IS WHA REALLY SCARED ME.
Cathy: ACROSS THE RECORDER COMES THIS VOICE.
I WAS TOTALLY AMAZED.
Mike: ALL OF A SUDDEN, THIS BRIGHT LIGHT COMES OUT.
Cathy: THIS IS WHA REALLY SCARED ME.
Mike: MY GHOST STORY BEGAN WHEN I MOVED TO COVINGTON, GEORGIA, AT A MOTOR-COACH PARK.
THE TRAILER PARK SIZE IS ROUGHLY 45 UNITS AND ABOU A QUARTER OF A MILE WIDE.
ME AND MY WIFE, CATHY, MOVED IN FROM WASHINGTON STATE.
Cathy: WE LANDED UP EXACTLY A HALF A MILE AWAY FROM THE OLD RAILROAD TRACKS THAT USED TO SERVICE THE CONFEDERATE ARMY.
ABOUT A MILE UP THE ROAD FROM US IS WHERE THEY HAD THE LARGE BATTLE DURING GENERAL SHERMAN'S BIG PUSH TO THE SEA, MARCH TO THE SEA.
[ GUNSHOTS .]
MANY SOLDIERS NEVER EVEN GOT TO SEE A GRAVEYARD.
THEY WERE JUST BURIED WHEREVER THEY WERE BURIED.
AFTER WE MOVED IN, MICHAEL WENT AHEAD AND WENT OUTSIDE AND TOOK PHOTOGRAPHS FOR INSURANCE PURPOSES.
[ CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKING .]
THAT'S WHEN WE STARTED COMING UP WITH THINGS ON THE CAMERA, AND WE COULDN'T EXPLAIN IT.
Mike: I NOTICED THESE WHITE BLOTCHES.
I CLEANED UP THE CAMERA A LITTLE BIT, THE LENS, WIPED IT DOWN.
WENT BACK OUT AND TOOK SOME MORE PICTURES, AND MORE OF THESE THINGS STARTED FORMING ON THE PHOTOGRAPHS.
I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT THEY WERE AT THE TIME, LATER FINDING OU THAT THEY'RE ORBS SPIRITS, IF YOU MAY.
WE'VE GOT RED BLUE GREEN AND A COUPLE OF THEM ARE YELLOW.
THESE THINGS ARE HUGE.
I BELIEVE THAT THE ORBS ARE APPARITIONS, AND THEY TRY TO MANIFES THEIRSELF TO COMMUNICATE WITH THE LIVING.
I BEGAN TO WONDER WHY THEY KEEP HOVERING AROUND ME, LIKE I'M DRAWING THEM TO ME.
EVENTUALLY, WE DECIDED TO SET UP DIGITAL AUDIO RECORDERS.
Cathy: MIKE HAS GO HIS RECORDER GOING, AND ACROSS THE RECORDER COMES THIS VOICE.
AND IT'S A FEMALE-TYPE VOICE, AND IT'S VERY CLEAR.
IT SAYS, "HELP ME.
" MIKE SAYS, "ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?" I SAID, "YEAH, I'M ALL RIGHT.
" HE SAYS, "DIDN'T YOU JUS SAY 'HELP ME'?" I SAID, "NO.
" Mike: I HEARD THE VOICE, AND IT REALLY ASTOUNDED ME.
Cathy: WE LOOKED AT EACH OTHER LIKE, "'HELP ME'"? I CAN'T EXPLAIN IT.
NO ONE CAN.
Mike: I GOT AN EVP THREE OR FOUR DAYS AFTER THE "HELP ME" EVP.
IT WAS A MALE VOICE, AND IT SAID, "LET ME OUT.
" Cathy: IT'S A LITTLE UNNERVING TO HEAR SOMEBODY TALKING BACK TO YOU FROM WHAT WE BELIEVE IS THE OTHER SIDE.
I WAS TOTALLY AMAZED.
EVENTUALLY, WE LEF AUDIO RECORDERS ON ALL NIGHT.
AND WHEN WE REPLAYED IT BACK THE NEXT DAY HERE'S THIS VOICE SINGING.
Man: TWO, THREE, FOUR, AND FIVE Cathy: AND IT'S EITHER A SLAVE VOICE, ONE OF THEIR OLD SONGS THAT THEY USED TO SING, OR IT'S A CAJUN TUNE.
Man: TWO, THREE, FOUR, AND FIVE Cathy: EITHER WAY, IT'S NOTHING LIKE ANYBODY'S EVER HEARD.
Mike: THERE'S NO MISTAKING I THAT THESE THINGS ARE FROM ANOTHER PLANE.
Man: TWO, THREE, FOUR, AND FIVE Mike: AS TIME WENT ON, I STARTED TO TAKE MORE PHOTOS OF THE OUTSIDE, AND I NOTICED THAT THESE MISTS STARTED APPEARING.
Cathy: THE MISTS TOOK ON DIFFERENT FORMS THAT BECAME STRONGER AND STRONGER.
ONE OF THEM COMPLETELY STARTLED US BY BEING TAKEN [Laughing.]
NEXT TO WHERE WE SLEEP.
IF YOU LOOK TO THE UPPER RIGHT, YOU WILL SEE WHAT APPEARS TO BE A SKULL.
AND TO THE UPPER LEF IS A CAT HEAD [ CAT MEOWS .]
ALMOST WITH A FERAL SNARL ON ITS FACE.
Mike: I KNEW RIGHT THEN THAT THERE WAS A CAT GRAVE RIGHT BEHIND US.
[ CAT MEOWS .]
Cathy: IF YOU LOOK CLOSELY BEHIND THE MIST, YOU WILL ACTUALLY SEE THE STONES WHERE THE GRAVE SITE IS FOR THE CATS.
THE MISTS WERE FRIGHTENING.
Mike: I BELIEVE THAT THESE MISTS WERE TRYING TO FEED OFF OF THE ENERGY FROM THE ELECTRICAL BOXES AND FROM MY HUMAN BODY TO TRY TO COMMUNICATE AND TO FORM THEIRSELF TO BE VISIBLE, SAYING, "HEY, LISTEN, WE'RE HERE.
" [ CAT MEOWS .]
Cathy: SINCE WE HAD GOTTEN SO MANY INTERESTING THINGS WITH THE STILL SHOTS, WE DECIDED WE WOULD GO AHEAD AND TRY OTHER FORMS OF MEDIA TO SEE WHAT ELSE WE COULD FIND.
Mike: I SET UP A WEBCAM OUTSIDE THE WINDOW THERE, AND I STARTED TO RECORD.
ALL OF A SUDDEN, THIS BRIGH LIGHT COMES OUT OF THE POWER BOX FOR THE SHOWER HOUSE.
Cathy: IT FLASHES.
IT'S VERY BRIGHT.
Mike: AND IT COMES AROUND AND GOES INTO THE GROUND.
IT DISAPPEARS.
AND THEN IT REAPPEARS AGAIN AND BOUNCES AROUND AND STOPS AND HESITATES IN FRONT OF OUR WINDOW.
Cathy: AND JUST STAYS THERE FOR ALMOST A SECOND, SECOND AND A HALF.
Mike: IT'S LIKE IT'S LOOKING AT US.
Cathy: IT ALMOST HAD AN INTELLIGENCE TO IT.
Mike: AND IT BOUNCES AROUND A FEW MORE TIMES, THEN IT DISAPPEARS.
Cathy: NOW, HOW CAN YOU EXPLAIN WHAT THIS LIGHT IS? IT'S NOT A FLASHLIGHT.
IT'S NOT HEADLIGHTS.
YOU GET A TIGHT FEELING IN YOUR GUT.
YOUR HEART STARTS POUNDING.
THIS IS WHAT REALLY SCARED ME.
Mike: THAT'S SCARY, WHEN SOMETHING THAT YOU CAN' SEE WITH YOUR NAKED EYE ALL OF A SUDDEN COMES OUT.
AND YOU CAN SEE IT, AND IT'S THERE ON CAMERA.
IT'S TERRIFYING.
I WAS AMAZED, AND AT THE SAME TIME "LET'S GET THE HECK OUT OF HERE.
" Cathy: ALL OF THE DIFFEREN THINGS THAT WE'VE SEEN AND EXPERIENCED HAS BEEN LIKE A ROLLER-COASTER RIDE.
IT'S NOT JUST ONCE IN A BLUE MOON.
IT CAN BE EVERY NIGHT.
Mike: THIS ACTIVITY IS STARTING TO GET MORE HOSTILE EVERY DAY.
AND I'M BECOMING MORE FEARFUL FOR MY WIFE AND MY LIFE.
I WOULD LIKE TO MOVE OU OF THIS PLACE, 'CAUSE THAT SCARES ME TO DEATH.
