My Ghost Story (2010) s06e13 Episode Script
Something Is Still Here
Steven: WE DECIDED TO GE TOGETHER FOR A GROUP PHOTO.
WHAT LOOKED LIKE SMUDGES WERE ACTUALLY EXTRA FACES.
Stephanie: AT THAT MOMENT, I FELT SOMETHING TOUCHING MY WAIST.
Steven: THERE WAS SOMETHING ELSE THERE WITH US.
Hurst: WHEN I SAW THE FOOTAGE OF THE SHELF, THAT'S WHAT CONVINCED ME THAT WE MIGHT HAVE A SPIRI HAUNTING THE STORE.
Aho: IT HAD JUST RANDOMLY COLLAPSED OUT OF NOWHERE.
[ CLATTERING .]
IT REALLY FREAKED ME OUT.
Tobin: WE FELT A VIBRATION.
WE HEARD A LOUD BANG.
-Women[ SCREAMING .]
-Tobin: OH, MY GOD! Chabot: I IMMEDIATELY JUMPED OFF THE BED.
COULDN'T FIGURE OUT ANYTHING AS TO WHY IT WOULD'VE HAPPENED.
Rosatano: THERE WERE ORBS EVERYWHERE.
AND IN ONE OF THE PHOTOS WE GOT, THERE APPEARS TO BE A COWBOY IN FRONT OF THE HOUSE.
YOU DON'T KNOW IF THAT SPIRIT'S GONNA FOLLOW YOU HOME.
IT WAS EXTREMELY UNSETTLING.
Jackson: WE HAD CAUGH SEVERAL ORB PHOTOS -- IN THE MEN'S LOCKER ROOM, THE WOMEN'S LOCKER ROOM, IN THE HALLWAYS.
Maynard: AND YOU SEE THIS FIGURE STARING RIGHT AT US.
Jackson: YOU JUST WAN TO TURN AROUND AND RUN.
Maynard: I PULLED MY PANT LEG UP, AND THERE WAS THIS VICIOUS SCRATCH.
Jackson: MY SON HAD A HUGE HAND SLAP RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF HIS BACK.
THERE'S NO WAY THA HE COULD'VE DID THIS TO HIMSELF.
Maynard: MY GHOST STORY BEGAN WHEN I VISITED THE CHESAPEAKE COMMUNITY CENTER IN CHESAPEAKE, OHIO.
THE AREA WHERE CHESAPEAKE SITS, BACK IN THE MID-1800s, WAS CALLED STEP TOWN.
STEP TOWN WAS A VIOLENT, LAWLESS AREA.
IT'S REPUTED THAT, AT ONE POINT IN TIME, THERE WAS A SINGLE MURDER EVERY DAY.
THERE WAS A LOT OF KILLING, GAMBLING, PROSTITUTION.
SO MUCH VIOLENCE IN THAT PLACE, IT'S JUST EMBEDDED IN THE SURROUNDING LAND.
IN THE 1920s, THE CHESAPEAKE COMMUNITY CENTER WAS THE EAST CHESAPEAKE MIDDLE SCHOOL.
IT WENT THROUGH SEVERAL STAGES.
IT WAS A HIGH SCHOOL, AN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL.
IT HAD A WHOLE VARIETY AND AGE RANGE OF CHILDREN WHO HAD BEEN THERE.
[ SCHOOL BELL RINGS .]
[ INDISTINCT VOICES .]
AND WITH CHILDREN, YOU KNOW, YOU HAVE A GREAT DEAL OF EMOTION GOING THROUGH THE CHANGES IN LIFE, WHICH COULD EXPLAIN SOME OF THE THINGS THAT GOES ON.
DREAMA AND I MET IN HIGH SCHOOL.
SHE HAD HEARD ABOUT THE INVESTIGATIONS THAT I WAS DOING.
Jackson: I HAD READ IN THE NEWSPAPER THAT THEY WERE HAVING A PUBLIC HUN AT THE CHESAPEAKE COMMUNITY CENTER.
SO I CALLED HIM, ASKED HIM ABOUT IT, AND HE INVITED ME UP.
Maynard: AND SHE'S BEEN INVESTIGATING WITH ME EVER SINCE.
Jackson: DAVID FIRST TOLD ME THAT A LITTLE GIRL HAD DIED FROM THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL.
Maynard: THE LITTLE GIRL DROWNED NEARBY IN ONE OF THE CREEKS IN THE EARLY '50s.
SHE WAS TAKEN DOWN WITH HER GRANDMOTHER, WHO COMMITTED SUICIDE.
Girl: [ SCREAMS .]
THAT WAS THE LAS ANYONE SAW HER ALIVE.
FOUR DAYS LATER, THE AUTHORITIES DISCOVERED THE BODIES FLOATING IN THE RIVER.
THE LITTLE GIRL'S BURIED IN ROME TOWNSHIP CEMETERY NOW.
THE NIGHT WE ARRIVED AT THE CHESAPEAKE CENTER FOR THE FIRST INVESTIGATION WAS A RATHER STORMY NIGHT.
[ THUNDER CRASHES .]
WIND BLOWING, LIGHTNING.
THEY SAY THAT LIGHTNING CHARGES THE AIR WITH IONS, AND, IN THEORY, THESE SPIRITS DRAW UPON THOSE IONS TO MANIFEST.
Jackson: WHEN I FIRST WALKED IN THE DOOR, I IMMEDIATELY HAD AN ANXIOUS FEELING IN THE PIT OF MY STOMACH, SOR OF LIKE A MOTHER'S INSTINCT, WHERE YOU KNEW SOMETHING WAS GONNA HAPPEN, BUT YOU JUST DIDN'T KNOW WHAT.
Maynard: BEING AN OLD SCHOOL, THERE'S QUITE A FEW ROOMS IN IT.
THE MAIN ENTRANCE LEADS FROM THE CENTER OF THE BUILDING STRAIGHT THROUGH THE HALLWAY INTO THE GYMNASIUM.
Jackson: AND THEN THEY HAVE A BASEMENT.
THE BASEMENT IS IN THREE PARTS.
YOU WALK DOWNSTAIRS FOR THE MEN'S LOCKER ROOM, UPSTAIRS TO THE WOMEN'S LOCKER ROOM.
WALK FURTHER DOWN THE HALLWAY, AND THE BOILER ROOM AND THE OLD COAL ROOM IS DOWN THERE.
Maynard: THERE WERE FIVE OF US IN THE BUILDING.
TIM, DREAMA, AND JIM WERE DOWNSTAIRS.
JEFF AND MYSELF HAD GONE UPSTAIRS, TAKING PICTURES [ CAMERA SHUTTERS CLICKING .]
WHENI SEE A FIGURE STANDING IN FRONT OF THE WINDOW.
I WAS LIKE, "IS THERE SOMEONE STANDING THERE IN THE WINDOW?" HE'S LIKE, "YEAH.
YEAH, I SEE IT.
" AND THEN IT JUST DISAPPEARS.
WE STOPPED.
WE STEPPED BACK.
AND IT CAME BACK INTO VIEW.
AT THAT POINT, I ZOOMED IN WITH MY CAMERA.
YOU SEE THIS FIGURE OF A MAN THAT'S JUST STANDING THERE, STARING RIGHT AT US.
Jackson: YOU CAN SEE THE APPARITION IN THE BOTTOM.
Maynard: TO KNOW THAT THIS THING HAS THE ABILITY TO BE THERE INSTANTANEOUSLY -- IT WAS PRETTY UNSETTLING.
Jackson: THERE WAS A JANITOR THAT HAD WORKED THERE FOR YEARS AND YEARS.
I BELIEVE IT MAY HAVE BEEN THE ONLY JOB THAT HE HAD EVER HAD.
Maynard: EVEN ON HIS DAYS OFF, HE WOULD COME IN, KEEP THE PLACE LIT.
THE CHILDREN LOVED HIM.
HE LOVED THEM.
WE THINK HE STILL WATCHES OVER EVERYTHING THAT GOES ON THERE.
Jackson: LATER IN THE EVENING, WE WERE STANDING AT THE FRONT DESK, AND I KEPT SEEING SHADOW PLAY DOWN THE HALLWAY.
AND I'M THINKING, "DID I REALLY SEE THAT?" SO I PICKED UP MY CAMERA AND STARTED TAKING PICTURES.
[ CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKING .]
UPON REVIEWING THOSE PICTURES, I HOLLER TO DAVE.
I SAID, "HEY.
YOU KNOW, CHECK THIS OUT.
" Maynard: SHE'S LIKE, "DAVID, LOOK.
" YOU SEE THIS LITTLE GIRL STANDING IN THE DOORWAY AT ROOM 6.
Jackson: I'M ZOOMING IN AND LOOKING AT THE PICTURE, AND SURE ENOUGH, SHE WAS STANDING THERE AT THE DOOR, LOOKING RIGHT AT US.
Maynard: IT WAS AT THAT POIN WE KNEW THIS LITTLE GIRL WAS TRYING TO MAKE HER PRESENCE KNOWN TO US.
Jackson: WE'RE STILL TRYING TO FIGURE OU WHY SHE'S STILL TRAPPED IN THAT BUILDING.
HE WAS REALLY TERRIFIED.
THROUGHOUT THE COURSE OF THE EVENING, WE HAD CAUGH SEVERAL ORB PHOTOS -- IN THE MEN'S LOCKER ROOM, THE WOMEN'S LOCKER ROOM, DOWN IN THE BOILER ROOM, IN THE HALLWAYS.
Maynard: THE SPIRITS IN THA BUILDING ARE JUST TRAVELING LIKE THEY'VE NEVER MISSED A BEA AND THEY'RE STILL LIVING THE SAME LIFE THAT THEY HAD BEFORE.
THAT'S THE ONE POIN THAT REALLY GOT ME.
Jackson: YOU JUST WAN TO TURN AROUND AND RUN.
Maynard: AS THE EVENING PROGRESSED, I GOT A MALICIOUS FEELING, LIKE SOMETHING'S THERE AND SOMETHING WANTS TO HURT YOU.
I KNEW WE WEREN'T ALONE.
AND THEN, WHILE INVESTIGATING, JENNIFER HAD HER HAIR PULLED.
I GOT UPSET WITH IT.
I STARTED YELLING AT IT.
AND AT ONE POINT, I WAS PUSHED BACK INTO A LOCKER BY AN UNSEEN FORCE.
I WAS SCRATCHED SEVERAL TIMES ON THE LEGS.
AND I PULLED MY PANT LEG UP, AND THERE WAS THIS VICIOUS SCRATCH.
THERE WAS NOTHING I COULD'VE SCRATCHED MY LEG ON.
IT'S SCARY.
THESE THINGS CAN TOUCH YOU.
THEY CAN HURT YOU.
AND THERE'S NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT.
Jackson: MY SON NICK WAS DOWN IN THE LADIES' LOCKER ROOM WITH A FEW MEMBERS OF THE GROUP.
HE CAME UPSTAIRS HOLLERING FOR ME.
I SAID, "WHAT IS WRONG?" HE TURNED AROUND, AND HE HAD A HUGE HAND SLAP RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF HIS BACK.
Maynard: SOMETHING'S DOWN THERE HURTING HIM.
Jackson: THERE'S NO WAY THA HE COULD'VE DID THIS TO HIMSELF.
Maynard: WE TOOK NICK OU OF THE SITUATION VERY QUICKLY.
Jackson: IT REALLY STARTLED ME.
AS MUCH AS WE WANT TO HELP THE SPIRIT OF THE LITTLE GIRL, WE'RE VERY CONCERNED OF WHA LURKS IN THE BASEMENT AREAS.
KNOWING THAT SHE'S STILL IN THAT BUILDING -- IT REALLY BREAKS MY HEART.
Maynard: THE SPIRIT OF THIS LITTLE GIRL IS STILL IN THE SCHOOL.
BUT AT THE SAME TIME, WHERE HER LIFE ENDED SO YOUNG, PERHAPS SHE'S REVISITING THE ONE PLACE THAT MADE HER HAPPY.
TO SOMEONE WHO IS SKEPTICAL OF THE STORY OF THE EVENTS THAT HAVE HAPPENED AT THE CHESAPEAKE CENTER, ALL I CAN SAY IS "COME DOWN THERE.
" MANY SKEPTICS HAVE GONE INTO THAT BUILDING.
MANY MORE BELIEVERS HAVE LEFT IT.
Chabot: I COULD JUST FEEL THE PRESENCE OF SOMETHING THAT WASN'T NORMAL.
-OH, MY GOD.
-Tobin: JUST A LITTLE BIT.
IT WAS UNBELIEVABLE.
WE TOOK SOME PICTURES AND NOTICED ORBS ALL FILLING THE ROOM.
I HAD NO EXPLANATION.
THE BED WAS PUSHED OR KICKED.
-Women: [ SCREAMING .]
-Tobin: OH, MY GOD! "WE'RE GONNA BE IN FOR QUITE A NIGHT.
" Chabot: I COULD JUST FEEL OH, MY GOD.
SOMETHING THAT WASN'T NORMAL.
Tobin: WE TOOK SOME PICTURES AND NOTICED ORBS ALL FILLING THE ROOM.
THE BED WAS PUSHED OR KICKED.
-Women: [ SCREAMING .]
-Tobin: OH, MY GOD! "WE'RE GONNA BE IN FOR QUITE A NIGHT.
" MY GHOST STORY BEGAN AT THE SHANLEY HOTEL IN NAPANOCH, NEW YORK.
CATHY IS MY GIRLFRIEND.
I'VE KNOWN HER ACTUALLY SINCE 1986.
WE RECONNECTED ABOUT THREE YEARS AGO, AND WE BOTH FOUND A COMMON INTEREST IN THE PARANORMAL.
Chabot: I'VE HAD RELATIVES WHO HAVE PASSED AWAY AND THINGS THAT HAVE OCCURRED AFTER THEIR PASSING THAT I JUST CAN'T EXPLAIN.
SO I'VE ALWAYS BEEN VERY INTRIGUED BY PARANORMAL.
Tobin: SO WE DECIDED TO STAR LOOKING FOR PLACES THAT WE COULD DO A PARANORMAL INVESTIGATION TOGETHER.
Chabot: SO WE SEARCHED PARANORMAL LOCATIONS IN THE NEW YORK AREA AND CAME ACROSS THE SHANLEY.
Tobin: THE SHANLEY HOTEL WAS BUILT IN 1845.
THE BUILDING ACTUALLY BURNT DOWN AND WAS REBUILT AND REOPENED WITHIN A YEAR.
THERE WERE MANY DEATHS ASSOCIATED WITH THE SHANLEY.
I HEARD STORIES ABOUT PEOPLE BEING TOUCHED AND BEING PUSHED, GETTING SCRATCHES.
AND I JUST COULDN'T IMAGINE THA IT COULD POSSIBLY BE THAT SCARY.
SO I HAD TO FIND OUT FOR MYSELF.
CATHY AND I ARRIVED AT THE SHANLEY.
IT'S A GREAT BIG, WHITE, VICTORIAN-LOOKING HOTEL.
THE OUTSIDE OF THE BUILDING IS VERY RUN-DOWN-LOOKING.
IT'S IN NEED OF RENOVATIONS.
Chabot: YOU IMMEDIATELY KNOW YOU'RE IN THE RIGHT PLACE IF YOU WANT TO DO A HAUNTED INVESTIGATION.
THE SHANLEY WAS THE FIRST PLACE THAT I ACTUALLY WALKED INTO WHERE I COULD JUST FEEL THE PRESENCE OF SOMETHING THAT WASN'T NORMAL.
Tobin: MY HEART STARTED RACING.
I COULD FEEL AN ENERGY LEVEL THAT I'D NEVER FEL AT ANY OTHER BUILDING.
WE WERE GREETED BY THE OWNER, WHO WAS VERY GRACIOUS TO US AND OFFERED TO GIVE US A TOUR.
Chabot: AND AS WE'RE WALKING UP THE STAIRS, JOHN AND I BOTH STOPPED IN OUR TRACKS, 'CAUSE WE HEARD, AUDIBLY, A WOMAN SCREAMING.
Tobin: AND IT WAS ONLY MYSELF AND CATHY AND THE OWNER OF THE HOTEL WITH US.
THERE WAS NOBODY ELSE IN THE HOTEL AT THE TIME.
THERE WAS NOBODY OUTSIDE.
Chabot: TO HEAR THAT SCREAM WAS JUST BONE-CHILLING AND BREATHTAKING AND JUST OVERWHELMING TO ME.
Tobin: I'D NEVER HEARD A VOICE OUT LOUD THAT I COULDN'T EXPLAIN.
WE THOUGHT, "WOW.
WE'RE GONNA BE IN FOR QUITE A NIGHT.
" INSIDE THE SHANLEY HOTEL, THERE WAS A BORDELLO THAT WAS AROUND THE TURN OF THE CENTURY.
IT WAS VERY COMMON TO HAVE WOMEN OF THE NIGHT WORKING THERE.
AND WHILE THAT WAS HAPPENING, THERE WAS A ROOM RIGHT DOWNSTAIRS CALLED THE GENTLEMEN'S QUARTERS.
VERY PROMINENT BUSINESSMEN WOULD STOP THERE.
THEY WOULD GAMBLE, DRINK, BE SOCIAL.
THE BORDELLO IS A VERY HIGH-ENERGY PLACE WITHIN THE BUILDING.
SO, WE GET UP TO THE TOP OF THE STAIRS OF THE BORDELLO, AND WE START TAKING SOME PICTURES.
Chabot: AND WE CAUGHT A PICTURE OF A MIST UP ON THE CEILING, UP IN THE CORNER OF THE CEILING.
AND WE TOOK A PHOTO IMMEDIATELY THEREAFTER, AND THE MIST WAS GONE.
Tobin: I THINK THE BLACK MIS WAS PROBABLY THE GENTLEMAN THAT WAS IN CHARGE OF THE WOMEN THAT WORKED AT THE SHANLEY IN THE BORDELLO.
I'D HEARD STORIES ABOUT HIM NOT BEING VERY HAPPY WHEN PEOPLE TRY TO TREA THE WOMEN UP THERE VERY NICELY AND RESPECTFULLY, THAT HE WILL REACH OU AND KIND OF SAY WHO'S BOSS.
AND THAT WAS A LITTLE UNNERVING TO SEE.
THESE STORIES ARE STARTING TO COME TRUE FOR US.
AFTER THE TOUR, WE DECIDED WE'D SET UP OUR EQUIPMENT.
WE DECIDED TO GO UP TO THE THIRD FLOOR OF THE SHANLEY BECAUSE WE'D HEARD SO MANY STORIES OF THIS BOY, JONATHAN, AND THE THINGS THAT HE DOES AND LIKES TO DO UP ON THE THIRD FLOOR.
SO WE WENT UP THERE, AND WE HAD EVERYTHING SET UP.
AND WE DECIDED TO CONDUC AN EVP AND FLASHLIGHT SESSION UP THERE.
Chabot: IT'S VERY INTERESTING AT THE SHANLEY, BECAUSE THE ENERGY LEVELS ARE DIFFERENT, DEPENDING ON WHERE YOU'RE AT.
AND WHEN YOU'RE SPECIFICALLY IN JONATHAN'S ROOM, YOU CAN TELL THA IT'S A VERY INNOCENT SPIRIT.
Tobin: WE WERE ASKING SOME QUESTIONS, AND VERY SHORTLY AFTER, I FEL SOMEBODY TOUCHING MY HAND.
AND IT VERY MUCH FELT LIKE A LITTLE BOY OR A LITTLE GIRL WOULD JUST KIND OF GRAB THE END OF YOUR FINGERS AND SQUEEZE THEM JUST A LITTLE BIT.
AND IT JUST SENT A CHARGE OF ENERGY THROUGH MY WHOLE BODY.
IT WAS VERY CREEPY, BUT WARMING AT THE SAME TIME.
SO, WHEN WE WERE REVIEWING OUR EVIDENCE IN JONATHAN'S ROOM, WE LISTENED BACK TO SOME EVPs.
I COULDN'T BELIEVE WHAT I HEARD.
IN A LITTLE BOY'S VOICE, "TAKE ME.
" WE COULDN'T IMAGINE WHERE JONATHAN WOULD WANT US TO TAKE HIM, BUT IT WAS VERY CLEARLY HIS VOICE.
Chabot: IT'S OVERWHELMING.
IT'S INTRIGUING.
Tobin: THERE'S NO DOUB IN MY MIND JONATHAN WAS WITH US IN THAT ROOM THAT NIGHT.
SO, RIGHT AFTER JONATHAN'S ROOM, WE DECIDED THAT WE WOULD TRY CHECKING OU SOME OF THE GUEST ROOMS DOWNSTAIRS.
AND I THOUGHT, "I'M BRAVE.
I'LL GO TO MARGUERITE'S ROOM MYSELF.
" ONE OF THE STORIES OF MARGUERITE'S ROOM WAS THERE WAS A MIRROR THAT YOU STARE INTO, AND YOUR FACE WILL CHANGE OR BE DISTORTED.
I WAS PRETTY SKEPTICAL OF THAT, AND I THOUGHT, "WELL, I CAN DO THIS MYSELF.
SO I WILL LOOK INTO THIS MIRROR AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS.
" AND WHAT I SAW AFTER THA WAS JUST UNBELIEVABLE.
ANOTHER MAN WAS STARING BACK AT ME.
HE HAD BLACK HAIR AND DARK EYES.
AND I JUMPED BACK AND SAID, "OH, MY GOD!" Chabot: JOHN CAME DOWN FROM BEING IN MARGUERITE'S ROOM, AND HE WAS OBVIOUSLY VERY EMOTIONALLY CHARGED WITH WHA HE HAD JUST EXPERIENCED.
Tobin: THERE IS RUMORED TO BE A PORTAL IN MARGUERITE'S ROOM WHERE SPIRITS TRAVEL BACK AND FORTH THROUGHOUT THE SHANLEY.
AND I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT THE MAN LOOKING AT ME WAS NOT ME.
IT WAS CLEARLY ANOTHER PERSON FROM ANOTHER DIMENSION.
NEXT, WE WEN TO THE GENTLEMEN'S LOUNGE.
NOW, THIS ROOM IS ALSO A ROOM WHERE THERE'S RUMORED TO BE A PORTAL WHERE SPIRITS CAN COME AND GO THROUGHOUT THE HOTEL.
WE TOOK SOME PICTURES AND NOTICED AN UNBELIEVABLE AMOUNT OF ORBS ALL FILLING THE ROOM.
Chabot: WE KNEW THE HISTORY OF THE ROOM BEING PRETTY MUCH EXCLUSIVELY FOR MEN.
THERE WAS ONLY WOMEN IN I AT THE TIME THE PHOTO WAS TAKEN.
Tobin: I FIRMLY BELIEVE THA THOSE ARE THE SPIRITS OF THE MEN THAT HUNG OUT IN THE GENTLEMEN'S QUARTERS, BEING VERY UNHAPPY THAT WE HAVE WOMEN IN THE GENTLEMEN'S QUARTERS.
Chabot: AND WE WERE BOTH LIKE, "OKAY.
THANK YOU.
WE'RE LEAVING.
" Tobin: WE WERE REVIEWING OUR DVR FOOTAGE FROM THE GENTLEMEN'S QUARTERS AND WERE AMAZED TO SEE A VERY BRIGHT, SHINY ORB FLYING RIGHT THROUGH THE ROOM.
IT SORT OF ZIGZAGGED AROUND IN A SPIRAL MOTION, AND IT WAS VERY BRIGHT.
I BELIEVE THAT'S DEFINITELY A PRESENCE OF A MAN IN THE GENTLEMEN'S QUARTERS, AND HE WAS GONNA MAKE IT VERY CLEAR THAT HE WAS NOT HAPPY.
SO, WHEN WE WERE REVIEWING OUR DVR FOOTAGE, WE SAW SOMETHING I'D NEVER CAUGHT ON A DVR BEFORE -- A DOOR JUST STARTING TO CLOSE BY ITSELF.
WITHOUT ANYBODY IN THE ROOM, THE DOOR JUST COMPLETELY CLOSED.
THAT DOOR HAD BEEN OPEN FOR THREE HOURS BEFORE THA AND DIDN'T MOVE A BIT.
THERE WERE NO WINDOWS OPEN, NO PEOPLE IN THE ROOM.
I HAD NO EXPLANATION.
IT WAS UNBELIEVABLE.
SO, AFTER THAT, WE DECIDED WE WERE GONNA GO TO WHAT'S CALLED THE GREAT ROOM.
CATHY DECIDED SHE WAS GONNA TRY SOME DOWSING RODS THAT WERE AT THE HOTEL.
Chabot: WHEN YOU START THE SESSION, THE RODS ARE PARALLEL LIKE THIS.
AND WHEN WE WERE ASKING THE QUESTIONS, WE STARTED GETTING "YES" ANSWERS, AND THE RODS WOULD CROSS OVER AND LITERALLY JUST HIT ME IN THE ARM.
AND THAT BECAME OUR "YES" ANSWER.
OH, MY GOD.
Tobin: JUST A LITTLE BIT.
NOW ASK ANOTHER QUESTION.
Chabot: AND THEY WOULD PRETTY MUCH STAY STRAIGH IF THE ANSWER WAS NO.
I STARTED GETTING VERY EMOTIONAL WHILE I WAS DOING THE DOWSING RODS, ACTUALLY, BECAUSE I COULD FEEL AN ENERGY THROUGH MY BODY LIKE I HAD NEVER EXPERIENCED BEFORE.
-Tobin: ALL THE WAY.
-Chabot: OH, MY GOD! YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I'M FEELING RIGHT NOW.
I COULDN'T EVEN COMPREHEND AT THE TIME WHAT WAS HAPPENING.
WILL THERE BE ANY ACTIVITY IN THE BORDELLO IF WE GO UP THERE? [ CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY .]
Tobin: AS FASCINATING AS IT WAS, IT WAS STARTING TO BECOME VERY SCARY FOR HER.
SHE WAS PHYSICALLY BECOMING FRIGHTENED.
Chabot: I GOT TO GET MYSELF TOGETHER.
HOLD ON.
Tobin: SO I SAID IT WAS PROBABLY TIME FOR HER TO PUT THE DOWSING RODS DOWN.
LET'S TAKE A LITTLE BI OF A BREAK.
I WAS REALLY INTERESTED IN GETTING BACK TO THE BORDELLO, WHERE WE HEARD THE SCREAM EARLIER.
AND WE DECIDED THA IT WOULD BE A GOOD IDEA TO TRY WHAT WE CALL A SPIRIT-BOX SESSION.
NOW, WHAT A SPIRIT-BOX SESSION IS, IN SHORT, IS BASICALLY AN AM/FM RADIO RUNNING A SWEEP THROUGH ALL THE CHANNELS.
AND SO, IT CREATES A WHITE NOISE THAT, SUPPOSEDLY, SPIRITS CAN COMMUNICATE THROUGH.
IMMEDIATELY UPON USING THIS DEVICE, WE NOTICED SEVERAL WORDS COMING THROUGH THAT COULDN'T POSSIBLY BE ON THE RADIO.
THERE WAS A VERY DEEP MAN'S VOICE YELLING THE WORD "WHORE," "GET OUT," AND THINGS LIKE THIS, AND WE COULDN'T EXPLAIN IT.
SO WE DECIDED TO ASK SOME QUESTIONS.
AND AGAIN, THE VOICE CAME ACROSS THE MACHINE AND SAID "WHORE.
" SO I SAID, "WELL, WHO'S A WHORE?" [ SPIRIT BOX CLICKING .]
-Women: [ SCREAMING .]
-Tobin: OH, MY GOD! WE FELT A VIBRATION.
WE HEARD A LOUD BANG, AND I COULD FEEL THE BED SHAKE.
THE BED LITERALLY WAS PUSHED OR KICKED VERY LOUDLY.
-Women: [ SCREAMING .]
-Tobin: OH, MY GOD! Chabot: IT WAS LIKE THE BED LIFTED UP OFF THE GROUND AND JUST FELL.
IT WAS COMPLETELY OVERWHELMING, AND WE SCREAMED -- ALL OF US, EVEN JOHN.
I IMMEDIATELY JUMPED OFF THE BED.
COULDN'T FIGURE OUT ANYTHING AS TO WHY IT WOULD'VE HAPPENED.
AND IT WAS AN UNWELCOME FEELING.
AND, YOU KNOW, WE ASSUMED, BASED ON HOW LONG WE'D BEEN UP THERE AND THE LINE OF QUESTIONING WE WERE GETTING AND SOME OF THE RESPONSES, THAT THAT WAS PROBABLY THE GUARDIAN UP IN THE BORDELLO SAYING, "OKAY.
" YOU KNOW, "YOUR TIME'S UP.
YOU NEED TO NOT BE HERE ANYMORE" KIND OF THING.
Tobin: WE HAD NO IDEA WHAT JUST HAPPENED, BUT WE KNEW IT WAS TIME TO LEAVE.
WE GRABBED OUR EQUIPMENT.
WE GRABBED OUR SPIRIT BOX.
WE SHUT EVERYTHING OFF, AND WE RAN OUT OF THE BORDELLO.
THAT WAS ABOUT AS MUCH AS ANY OF US COULD TAKE FOR ONE NIGHT.
Chabot: MY EXPERIENCE AT THE SHANLEY CONFIRMS THAT SPIRITS ARE WITH US, THAT THERE'S PARANORMAL ACTIVITY NOT ONLY AT THE SHANLEY BUT IN OTHER PLACES AS WELL.
Tobin: THE SPIRIT OF THE GENTLEMAN IN THE BORDELLO, I FIRMLY BELIEVE, DOESN'T LIKE VISITORS.
-Women: [ SCREAMING .]
-Tobin: OH, MY GOD! I BELIEVE THE SPIRI OF THE WOMEN IN THE BORDELLO DO LIKE VISITORS, AND THERE'S A CONFLICT THERE.
I BELIEVE THE CHILDREN THAT MAY HAVE DIED TRAGICALLY AT THE SHANLEY JUST WANT SOMEONE TO COME AND VISIT THEM.
THAT SAID, THE MIX OF GOOD AND NEGATIVE AT THE SHANLEY IS A FRIGHTENING EXPERIENCE AND ONE THAT YOU JUST HAVE TO EXPERIENCE TO UNDERSTAND WHAT WE FELT.
Rosatano: WE START TAKING PHOTOS, AND THERE APPEARS TO BE A COWBOY IN FRONT OF THE HOUSE.
WE ASKED WHO THE NAME OF THE SPIRIT WAS.
HE CLEARLY SAID "MICHAEL.
" YOU DON'T KNOW IF THAT SPIRIT'S GONNA FOLLOW YOU HOME.
IT WAS EXTREMELY UNSETTLING.
Rosatano: WE START TAKING PHOTOS, AND THERE APPEARS TO BE A COWBOY.
WE ASKED WHO THE NAME OF THE SPIRIT WAS.
HE CLEARLY SAID "MICHAEL.
" IT WAS EXTREMELY UNSETTLING.
Callejas: MY GHOST STORY BEGAN WHEN I WAS GROWING UP IN MY FAMILY'S HOUSE IN GALT, CALIFORNIA.
THAT HOUSE WAS BUIL IN THE LATE 1800s.
THERE WAS A WAGON TRAIL THAT USED TO BE IN FRONT OF THE HOUSE.
YOU KNOW, IT MIGHT'VE BEEN A SALOON.
STORY GOES THAT TWO INDIVIDUALS PASSED AWAY ON THE GROUNDS.
I USED TO SHARE A ROOM WITH MY BROTHER.
THEN MY BROTHER MOVED OUT, AND I STARTED EXPERIENCING THINGS THAT HE WOULD TALK ABOUT WHEN HE WAS IN THAT ROOM BY HIMSELF.
I WAS HEARING WEIRD THINGS IN THE LIVING ROOM, IN THE KITCHEN.
IT JUST KIND OF FREAKED ME OU AT A POINT.
ONE EXPERIENCE I REMEMBER HAVING -- ONE NIGHT, I WAS TRYING TO GO TO SLEEP.
I JUST FELT A WARM FEELING OVER MY BODY.
I COULDN'T MOVE.
I COULDN'T SCREAM.
I COULDN'T SAY ANYTHING.
WHAT SCARED ME WAS I WAS FEELING, LIKE, A LITTLE KID JUMPING AROUND ME.
Child: [ LAUGHS .]
Callejos: AND AT THE SAME TIME, I WAS HEARING A DEEP VOICE LAUGHING IN FRONT OF ME.
Man: [ DEEP LAUGHTER .]
Callejos: DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO.
COULDN'T MOVE.
COULDN'T SCREAM.
AND I'M 11, 12 YEARS OLD WHEN THIS HAPPENED.
WELL, THAT WAS KIND OF SPOOKY.
MAN: Go away.
Callejos: AND ANOTHER TIME, BOTH MY PARENTS WOKE UP, AND THEY FELT A LITTLE KID JUMP OFF THE BED AND RUN OUT THE ROOM.
THAT'S WHEN MY MOM SAID, "THAT'S IT.
I CAN'T TAKE IT NO MORE.
" WE MOVED OUT, BUT MY FATHER STAYED AT THE HOUSE.
HE'S BEEN THERE EVER SINCE.
THINGS NEVER STOPPED HAPPENING.
WHEN I GOT OLDER, I WENT BACK TO THE HOUSE TO VISIT MY DAD.
I WAS A BIT SCARED STILL, BEING IN THE SAME HOUSE.
SO I STAYED ON AN AIR MATTRESS OUT IN THE LIVING ROOM.
I TRIED GOING TO SLEEP, BUT LAYING THERE, REMEMBERING THE THINGS THAT HAPPENED.
AND I'M LOOKING AT THE HALLWAY WHERE MY DAD HAS A CURTAIN.
I SEE THE CURTAIN OPEN UP TWICE.
THREE TIMES.
THERE'NO DOORS OPEN.
THERE'S NO WINDOWS OPEN.
THERE'S NO AIR-CONDITIONING IN THIS HOUSE.
THERE'S SOMETHING STILL HERE.
I'M HAVING THIS HAPPEN ALL OVER AGAIN.
IT BROUGHT ME BACK TO MY CHILDHOOD.
AFTER THAT EXPERIENCE HAPPENED TO ME, WE LOOKED INTO FINDING A CREW TO COME IN AND INVESTIGATE ON THEIR OWN.
WE CAME ACROSS AL AND HIS TEAM.
Rosatano: AS SOON AS I WALKED ON THE PROPERTY, I KNEW FOR CERTAIN THERE'D BE PARANORMAL ACTIVITY, BECAUSE YOU GET A FEELING.
IT'S LIKE A SIXTH SENSE.
WE START TAKING PHOTOS.
[ CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKING .]
THERE WERE ORBS EVERYWHERE.
Callejas: THERE IS STUFF HAPPENING HERE.
Rosatano: AND I NOTICE IN ONE PICTURE, AN ORB WAS JUST TRAVELING RIGH ABOVE AN INVESTIGATOR'S HEAD.
AND THAT INVESTIGATOR WAS ASKING IF THERE IS AN ORB AROUND TO GO BY HIS HEAD.
WHEN I SAW THOSE PHOTOS, I KNEW THERE WERE TONS OF ACTIVITY ON THE PROPERTY.
Callejas: THIS IS REALLY ALL AROUND US.
IT'S NOT JUST IN THE HOUSE.
IT'S ON THE LAND ITSELF.
AND THAT SCARED THEOUT OF ME.
Rosatano: WE THOUGHT IT'D BE TIME THAT WE TRY AND GET SOME EVPs WHILE THE SPIRITS WERE ACTIVE.
THE GROUP WAS ALL BROKEN OFF INTO TEAMS WHEN OUR LEAD INVESTIGATOR COMES RUNNING OVER SAYING HE'S STARTING TO GET EVPs.
WE ASKED WHO THE NAME OF THE SPIRIT WAS.
AND WHEN WE LISTENED TO THE PLAYBACK, THE SPIRIT SAID Callejas: WHEN I HEARD THAT, I WAS SURPRISED.
Rosatano: YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT TO FEEL.
YOU DON'T KNOW IF THAT SPIRIT'S GONNA FOLLOW YOU HOME.
AND YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT TO ASK NEXT 'CAUSE YOU'RE SPEECHLESS.
I BELIEVE THE REASON THAT SPIRIT'S STILL HERE IS 'CAUSE IT JUST DIDN'T WORK OUT WHERE HE WAS ABLE TO GO TO WHERE HE'S SUPPOSED TO GO.
IT JUST MAKES YOU THINK OF THE AFTERLIFE.
IT JUST MAKES YOU THINK WHERE WE'RE HEADED.
IT WAS EXTREMELY UNSETTLING.
WE'RE ASKING HOW MICHAEL DIED.
AND THE SPIRIT SAID THE WAY HE SAID IT SEEMS LIKE THE SPIRIT WAS PERHAPS MURDERED.
THAT'S SOMETHING THAT STRUCK US ALL IN AWE.
WE CONTINUED TO TAKE PHOTOS.
[ CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKING .]
ONE OF THE PHOTOS WE GO WAS EXTREMELY INTERESTING.
Callejas: HE NOTICED THAT THERE WAS AN APPARITION IN THE FRONT.
Rosatano: IT APPEARS TO BE A COWBOY IN FRONT OF THE HOUSE.
IT TIES IN TO THE PLACE BEING AN OLD-TIME WEST BAR.
MAYBE HE CAME OVER FOR ONE LAST DRINK.
Callejas: IT SPOOKED ME OUT.
Rosatano: AT THAT POINT, WE KNEW THAT THE SPIRITS WERE EXCITED, AND THEY WANTED TO MAKE CONTAC WITH US.
Callejas: IT WAS SURPRISING.
Rosatano: I DECIDED IT WAS TIME TO GO INSIDE THE HOUSE, WHERE I FELT A STRONG PRESENCE.
I SET UP A FLASHLIGH EVIDENCE TEST.
A FLASHLIGHT EVIDENCE TES IS BASICALLY -- YOU GRAB A SMALL MAGLITE, AND YOU PUT IT SOMEWHERE WHERE YOU BELIEVE A SPIRIT IS.
AND ALL YOU DO IS YOU ASK THE SPIRIT, "IF YOU'RE HERE, TURN ON THE FLASHLIGHT.
" Callejas: THERE WAS NO RESPONSE UNTIL MY BROTHER MENTIONED MY UNCLE JUAN, WHO JUST RECENTLY PASSED AWAY, ABOUT A YEAR AGO.
Rosatano: HE WOULD TURN ON THE FLASHLIGH WITH NO PROBLEM AT ALL.
Callejas: WE ASKED IT, "IF THAT'S REALLY YOU, TURN IT OFF.
" AND HE WOULD TURN IT OFF.
AND WHEN WE GOT REAL SOLID EVIDENCE WAS WHEN MY DAD WAS TALKING IN SPANISH TO MY UNCLE LIKE HE WAS THERE.
Man: [ SPEAKING SPANISH .]
Rosatano: WHEN DOUGLAS' FAMILY STARTED ASKING QUESTIONS IN SPANISH, THE FLASHLIGHT JUST TURNED TO LIFE IMMEDIATELY.
Man: MUCHO GUSTO.
Rosatano: IT INDICATED THERE WAS ANOTHER SPIRIT IN THE HOUSE, AND IT WASN'T MICHAEL, BUT IT WAS THEIR UNCLE JUANITO.
Man: [ SPEAKING SPANISH .]
Callejas: IT GAVE ME CHILLS.
Rosatano: AS AN INVESTIGATOR, I BELIEVE THAT DOUGLAS' PROPERTY IS EXTREMELY HAUNTED BY MORE THAN ONE SPIRIT, AND THE SPIRITS ALL HAVE DIFFERENT ATTITUDES.
HOWEVER, THE SPIRIT OF MICHAEL SEEMS TO BE THE DOMINANT SPIRIT.
Callejas: WE'VE HAD FAMILY FRIENDS THAT ARE NON-BELIEVERS OF SPIRIT WORLD.
THEY ALL HAVE COME OVER TO THE HOUSE, SPENT THE NIGHT.
THEY'VE ALL EXPERIENCED SOMETHING.
AFTER ALL THIS TIME, SEEING THAT CURTAIN MOVE HEARING VOICES THERE'S SOMETHING THERE, AND IT'S NOT GONNA GO AWAY.
Hurst: IT'S A SMALL GROCERY STORE THAT I PURCHASED.
THERE WAS A ROLL OF COOKIE DOUGH JUST GOT LAUNCHED OUT OF THE FRIDGE.
I CAME IN ONE MORNING, AND THERE WAS THE BOX OF ROLL-UPS, SITTING ON THE FLOOR.
I KNEW NO ONE HAD BEEN IN THE STORE THAT NIGHT.
Aho: IT REALLY FREAKED ME OUT.
Hurst: AND THAT'S WHEN I REALIZED WE MIGHT HAVE A SPIRI HAUNTING THE STORE.
Hurst: I CAME IN ONE MORNING, AND THERE WAS THE BOX OF ROLL-UPS, SITTING ON THE FLOOR.

[ DIDGERIDOO PLAYING .]
MY GHOST STORY BEGAN IN MY SUPERMARKE IN BROMPTON, AUSTRALIA.
IT'S A SMALL GROCERY STORE THAT I HAD PURCHASED BACK IN OCTOBER 2011.
WHEN I BOUGHT THE STORE, THE PREVIOUS OWNER MENTIONED TO ME THAT THERE'S GHOSTLY ACTIVITY, AND THERE WERE STRANGE THINGS HAPPENING WITH THE STORE.
AND AT THE TIME, I JUST DISMISSED IT.
BUT I THOUGHT WAS AN INTERESTING THING TO SAY.
BORA ALTINTAS WAS A CHAMPION MIDDLEWEIGHT BOXER FOR SOUTH AUSTRALIA.
AND IT WAS RUMORED THAT HE WAS PART OF THE UNDERWORLD, AS WELL AS INVOLVED WITH MOTORCYCLE GANGS.
AND BACK IN 1998, HE WAS GUNNED DOWN.
THERE'S STILL A BULLET HOLE IN A PHONE BOX OUT THE FRONT OF THE STORE, AS WELL.
PREVIOUS TO PURCHASING THE STORE, I HADN'T LOOKED AT ANY OF THE HISTORY OR CERTAINLY DIDN'T KNOW ABOU THE BOXER BEING GUNNED DOWN IN THE FRONT OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.
I JUST WANTED THE STORE FOR WHA IT WAS -- JUST A STORE.
SO, AFTER I PURCHASED HER IN OCTOBER, I WAS WALKING ALONG THE FRIDGES.
AND WE'VE GOT ALL THE FRIDGES LINED UP.
AND I WAS WALKING ALONG THERE.
AND ABOUT 2 METERS IN FRONT OF ME, THERE WAS A ROLL OF COOKIE DOUGH JUST GOT LAUNCHED OU OF THE FRIDGE, EVEN THOUGH THE COOKIE DOUGHS ARE STACKED UP.
IT COULDN'T JUST ROLL DOWN, BECAUSE IF IT ROLLED OFF, IT WOULD'VE JUST LANDED ON THE YOGURTS.
BUT THIS WAS ACTUALLY PROPELLED IN FRONT OF ME.
IT JUST LAUNCHED OFF OUT OF THE SHELF AND JUST KEPT ROLLING ALONG THE FLOOR.
AND IT'S THE STRANGEST THING THAT EVER HAPPENED TO ME.
AT THE TIME, I WAS JUST -- "HOW DID THAT HAPPEN?" AND EVEN THOUGH I'VE GO VIDEO FOOTAGE IN THE STORE, I DIDN'T EVEN BOTHER TO GO BACK AND LOOK AT IT.
AND THEN, PROBABLY A MONTH LATER, IT HAPPENED AGAIN TO ME, AND I WAS WALKING IN THE EXAC SAME SITUATION.
THE EXACT SAME THING HAPPENED.
AND EVEN THEN, STILL, NOTHING CLICKED ON TO WHAT THE PREVIOUS OWNER HAD MENTIONED TO ME.
WHEN THE COOKIE DOUGH FLEW OFF THE SHELF IN FRONT OF ME, I WAS MORE ANNOYED THAN ANYTHING ELSE THAT I HAD TO PICK IT UP AND PUT IT BACK.
LATE NOVEMBER, EARLY DECEMBER, ONE OF MY OTHER PREVIOUS EMPLOYEES, SHE WAS A LITTLE ANGRY AND UPSE IN THE AFTERNOON.
I SAID, "WHAT'S WRONG?" SHE SAID, "IT'S THE SAME BAG OF LOLLIES "HAVE BEEN THROWN OFF THIS HOOK TWICE TO ME THIS AFTERNOON.
"THE BAG'S NOT BROKEN.
"THEY'VE JUST BEEN FLUNG OFF THE HOOK INTO THE CENTER OF THE AISLE.
" AND THEN, LATER ON THAT DAY, ANOTHER TWO TIMES, IT HAPPENED WHILE I WAS THERE, AS WELL.
AND IT WAS THE SAME BAG OF CANDY OFF THE SAME HOOK FOUR TIMES IN ONE AFTERNOON.
AND THE BAG WAS NOT BROKEN.
THE EYELET WASN'T BROKEN AT ALL, AND THAT WAS THE WEIRDEST THING.
AT THE TIME, I DIDN'T PU TWO AND TWO TOGETHER.
Aho: NORM IS MY BOSS, AND I'VE KNOWN HIM FOR APPROXIMATELY EIGHT MONTHS NOW.
I SERVE CUSTOMERS.
I MAKE SOME ORDERS FOR THE STORE, CLEAN -- JUST GENERAL DUTIES, REALLY.
IT WAS JUST A NORMAL MORNING, AND I WAS IN AISLE 6.
THE ONLY OTHER PERSON IN THE STORE AT THE TIME WAS NORM.
SO, I WAS JUST MOPPING.
AND SUDDENLY, I SAW SOMEONE WALK FROM THE BACK OF THE AISLES TOWARDS AISLE 7.
I FOLLOWED IT, BECAUSE I WAS JUST QUITE CURIOUS AS TO WHO IT WAS.
SO I WALKED OVER TO AISLE 7 JUST TO CHECK IT OUT, BUT THERE WAS NO ONE THERE.
SO I WALKED BACK TO THE FRONT OF THE COUNTER, AND THERE'S SECURITY FOOTAGE.
SO I JUST CHECKED THAT, AND NORM WAS IN AISLE 1, PUTTING DRINKS AWAY.
SO IT COULDN'T HAVE BEEN HIM.
I JUST ASSUMED THAT I MUST HAVE JUST BEEN SEEING THINGS.
THERE WAS NOBODY ELSE IN THE STORE, SO THERE WASN'T REALLY ANOTHER LOGICAL EXPLANATION FOR IT.
Hurst: APPROXIMATELY 2, 2 1/2 MONTHS AFTER THE LOLLY INCIDENT, I CAME IN ONE MORNING AND OPENED THE STORE UP.
AND THERE WAS THE BOX OF ROLL-UPS SITTING ON THE FLOOR.
I JUST REALLY WANTED TO KNOW HOW THEY GOT THERE, BECAUSE I LEAVE MY FLOORS CLEAN.
AND I KNEW NO ONE HAD BEEN IN THE STORE THAT NIGHT, 'CAUSE THE SECURITY ALARM HADN' GONE OFF, WHICH DETECTS MOTION.
AND NO ONE HAD BEEN IN THE STORE, AND I WAS THE ONLY ONE WITH THE CODES AND KEYS AND EVERYTHING TO GE INTO THE STORE.
SO THE MORE I THOUGHT ABOUT I DURING THE DAY, THE MORE INTRIGUED I GOT.
AND I JUST WANTED TO GO BACK AND FIND OUT EXACTLY HOW IT HAPPENED.
AND THAT'S WHY I WENT BACK ON THIS PARTICULAR OCCASION AND REVIEWED THE FOOTAGE.
AND THAT'S WHEN I REALIZED WE MIGHT HAVE A SPIRI HAUNTING THE STORE.
Aho: WHEN I SAW THE FOOTAGE, I WAS PRETTY SHOCKED.
YOU KNOW, IT WAS NIGHTTIME.
THERE WAS NOBODY ELSE IN THE STORE.
AND SUDDENLY, THERE'S ROLL-UPS BEING THROWN AROUND.
IT REALLY FREAKED ME OUT.
Hurst: I CAN'T EXPLAIN IT, SO IT HAS TO BE SOMETHING ELSE HAPPENING IN THE STORE.
AND THE SPIRIT, THE GHOST DID IT OVERNIGH AND THREW THOSE ROLL-UPS OUT OF THE SHELF JUST TO LET SOMEONE KNOW IN THE STORE THAT "HEY, I AM HERE, AND I'M DOING STUFF.
AND WHAT YOU'VE SEEN BEFORE IS ME.
" Aho: AND IT KIND OF MADE ME THINK THAT WHAT I'D SEEN EARLIER, WITH THE FIGURE WALKING DOWN THE AISLE, MAY HAVE NOT BEEN MY IMAGINATION AFTER ALL.
AFTER I HEARD ABOUT THE FRUIT ROLL-UPS, I DECIDED I'D TELL MY BOSS WHAT I HAD SEEN.
HE BASICALLY TOLD ME THAT THE PREVIOUS OWNERS HAD ALSO SEEN SOMEONE WALKING AROUND THEIR STORE WHEN THERE WAS NO ONE ELSE IN IT.
IT DEFINITELY MADE ME FEEL REALLY EERIE, REALLY QUITE FRIGHTENED.
MY BOSS STARTED TELLING MYSELF ABOUT ALL THESE OTHER INCIDENTS THAT HAD OCCURRED PREVIOUSLY IN THE STORE.
YOU KNOW, COOKIE DOUGH WAS BEING THROWN.
LOLLIES WERE BEING FOUND ON THE FLOOR.
IT WAS QUITE WEIRD TO HEAR ALL OF THAT.
I HAD NO IDEA THAT THE STORE WAS HAUNTED.
I BELIEVE WHAT I SAW WAS A SPIRIT.
I WAS PRETTY SCARED TO OPEN THE STORE BY MYSELF.
I GRADUALLY STARTED COMING TO WORK A LITTLE BIT LATER JUST SO NORM COULD DO IT, AND I WASN'T THE ONE THAT HAD TO BE IN THERE FIRST.
Hurst: SHE WAS A BIT SCARED TO BE THERE BY HERSELF AND OPEN THE STORE.
AND I CAN UNDERSTAND HOW SHE MAYBE CAN FEEL A BIT SCARED WITH I AND A BIT CREEPED OU FOR HERSELF.
INITIALLY, AFTER IT HAPPENED, YEAH -- IT WAS A LITTLE SCARY BEING THERE BY YOURSELF AT NIGHT.
BUT CONSIDERING THAT THAT WAS THE ONLY THING THAT'S ACTUALLY HAPPENED AT NIGHT, AND THE REST OF THE STUFF HAD HAPPENED DURING THE DAY, SHOULD WE BE MORE SCARED DURING THE DAY? I DON'T KNOW.
A FEW MONTHS LATER, I WAS IN THE STORE WORKING REALLY LATE THAT NIGHT.
AND THEN I CAME BACK EARLY THE NEXT MORNING.
AND I WAS ONLY GONE FOR ABOUT FOUR HOURS, AND A SHELF HAD COLLAPSED.
A BOTTOM SHELF HAD COLLAPSED.
[ CLATTERING .]
HAD JUST GIVEN WAY THAT NIGH FOR NO REASON.
AND WHEN I SAW THE FOOTAGE OF THE SHELF COLLAPSING, THAT'S WHAT FINALLY CONVINCED ME THAT THE STORE WAS HAUNTED.
SO, EVERYTHING THAT'S BEEN THROWN AROUND OUR STORE SO FAR HAS ALL BEEN SWEETS -- LOLLIES AND THE COOKIE DOUGH.
EVERYTHING REFERS TO SWEET FOOD.
AND THE FAMILY OF THE BOXER, BORA ALTINTAS, THEY ALL MENTION THAT HE ACTUALLY HAD A SWEET TOOTH.
THE RUMOR IS THAT IT'S HIS PRESENCE STILL WITHIN THE STORE.
AND HIS FAMILY MEMBERS HAVE ACTUALLY CALLED ME UP AND WANTED TO KNOW WHAT WAS GOING ON AND CLAIMING THAT HE WAS THE GHOS IN THE STORE, AND THEN HE HAD A SWEET TOOTH.
AND THAT'S WHY THEY BELIEVE IT'S HIS SPIRI THAT'S ROAMING AROUND IN MY BUILDING.
HE WAS VERY YOUNG WHEN HE WAS GUNNED DOWN, BEING 30 YEARS OF AGE.
SO IT COULD BE HIM, NOT READY TO MOVE ON FOR THE NEXT WORLD AND JUST KEEPING HIS PRESENCE AROUND SO PEOPLE KNOW IT'S HIM AND WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM.
Aho: BEFORE I STARTED WORKING A THE IGA, I HAD NEVER EXPERIENCED ANY SUPERNATURAL ACTIVITY IN MY LIFE.
I BELIEVE THAT ALL THESE INCIDENTS THAT HAVE HAPPENED REALLY DOES PROVE THAT THERE IS SOMETHING ELSE OUT THERE.
Hurst: IF YOU HAD ASKED ME THIS FIVE, SIX MONTHS AGO, AND EVEN WHEN THE PREVIOUS OWNER SAID THE PLACE WAS HAUNTED, I WOULD'VE DISMISSED YOU STRAIGHT OU AND SAID, "NO, I DON'T BELIEVE -- I DON'T BELIEVE IN GHOSTS.
" AND NOW, AFTER THE INCIDENTS THAT HAVE HAPPENED, AND THERE'S BEEN MORE THAN ONE INCIDENT, I SAY THERE'S SOMETHING STRANGE IN MY STORE, AND YEAH -- IT'S PROBABLY A GHOS THAT'S RUNNING RAMPAN IN MY STORE AT THE MOMENT.
[ CLICKING, STATIC .]
Steven: SOMETHING WAS TRYING TO COMMUNICATE.
Stephanie: THE LASER GRIDS NEVER ACTED THAT WAY BEFORE.
Steven: WHAT LOOKED LIKE SMUDGES WERE ACTUALLY EXTRA FACES.
Stephanie: THE LASER GRIDS NEVER ACTED THAT WAY BEFORE.
Steven: WHAT LOOKED LIKE SMUDGES WERE ACTUALLY EXTRA FACES.
MY GHOST STORY BEGAN WHEN I INVESTIGATED A PRIVATE RESIDENCE IN LEWISBURG, KENTUCKY.
MY WIFE, STEPHANIE, AND I ARE KIND OF KNOWN AROUND THE AREA AS BEING PARANORMAL EXPERTS.
Stephanie: STEVEN'S MORE THE SCIENTIFIC-MINDED, SO HE LIKES TO BE ABLE TO DOCUMEN THE METERS AND THE EQUIPMENT, WHEREAS I LIKE TO SEE A PICTURE OR HEAR VOICES.
Steven: OUT OF THE BLUE, WE GET THIS CALL ONE DAY FROM A FRANTIC HOMEOWNER.
SHE HAD BEEN HEARING SOME VOICES IN HER HOUSE FOR QUITE A WHILE FROM PEOPLE WHO WEREN'T THERE.
Stephanie: THE WOMAN CLAIMED TO BE HEARING TWO MEN ARGUING AND, OCCASIONALLY, A WOMAN'S VOICE.
Steven: APPARENTLY, TWO MEN LIVED ON THE PROPERTY IN THE PAST, AND ONE HAD SHOT AND KILLED THE OTHER ONE.
[ GUNSHOT .]
RIGHT AWAY, I KNEW THAT THE ANGRY VOICES MIGHT BE THE SPIRITS OF THOSE TWO MEN.
Stephanie: THE HOMEOWNERS WERE EXPERIENCING CABINETS SLAMMING SHU ON THEIR OWN.
DOORKNOBS WOULD TURN.
FAMILY MEMBERS WERE BEING PINCHED.
THEY WOULD HEAR FOOTSTEPS DOWN THE HALL.
BED SHEETS WERE COMING OFF OF THEM AT NIGHT.
Steven: THE ACTIVITY GOING ON SCARED THEM.
SO WE WENT TO THE HOUSE TO DO AN INVESTIGATION.
WE START ALL OF OUR INVESTIGATIONS WITH A PRAYER OF PROTECTION, AND THEN SMUDGE EACH MEMBER OF THE TEAM WITH WHITE SAGE.
WE DO THIS TO CLEANSE THE PERSON OF ANY NEGATIVE VIBES AND TO BLOCK OUT ANY NEGATIVITY THAT MAY BE IN THE AREA THAT WE'RE INVESTIGATING.
Stephanie: AFTER THE PRAYER, WE GATHERED THE EQUIPMEN AND WENT INSIDE, WHERE WE MET THE HOMEOWNER.
STEVEN AND I IMMEDIATELY FEL A VERY STRONG PRESENCE, A LOT OF COLD CHILLS, AND STRANGE VIBES AS WE WALKED THROUGHOUT THE HOUSE.
EACH ROOM DEFINITELY HAD ITS OWN ENERGY.
Steven: AS WE WERE SETTING UP EQUIPMENT IN THE BEDROOM, I STARTED TO GE THIS STRANGE INTERFERENCE ON MY WALKIE TALKIE.
AT FIRST, I THOUGHT IT WAS FROM SOME OF THE OTHER EQUIPMENT.
BUT I NOTICED, AS WE WERE TALKING ABOUT GHOSTS AND SPIRITS AMONGST OURSELVES, THAT IT STARTED KIND OF RESPONDING TO WHAT WE WERE SAYING.
Stephanie: THE SPIRITS WERE STOPPING THE STATIC AND STARTING THE STATIC ON REQUEST.
[ STATIC .]
[ CLICKING, STATIC .]
WE JUST ALL KIND OF LOOKED AT EACH OTHER.
WE WERE EXCITED THA THIS WAS ACTUALLY HAPPENING.
Steven: ONCE I REALIZED THAT SOMETHING WAS TRYING TO COMMUNICATE THROUGH THE WALKIE TALKIE, WE WENT AHEAD AND QUICKLY SET UP THE VIDEO CAMERA AND PUT A DIGITAL RECORDER IN THAT ROOM.
STEPHANIE HAD BEEN SNAPPING SOME PHOTOS.
AND IN ONE OF THE PHOTOS, YOU CAN ACTUALLY SEE A LARGE ORB FLOATING ABOVE MY HEAD.
Stephanie: LATER ON, IN ONE ROOM IN PARTICULAR, THE TEMPERATURE SEEMED TO DROP A FEW DEGREES.
SO I GOT OUT MY METER, AND IT DID SPIKE.
SO I HAD STEVEN TAKE A PICTURE OF ME, AND THERE WAS AN ORB IN THA PHOTO, RIGHT ABOVE THE METER.
[ BEEPING .]
Steven: WHEN WE GOT THE EMF SPIKE ALONG WITH THE ORB IN THE PHOTO, THAT RIGHT AWAY TOLD US THAT WE NEED TO SET UP SOME MORE EQUIPMEN AND LOOK AT THAT LOCATION A LITTLE FURTHER.
Stephanie: THE ROOM HAD A HISTORY OF ACTIVITY, OF THE DOORS OPENING AND CLOSING.
SO I VOLUNTEERED TO SIT IN THAT ROOM BY MYSELF IN THE DARK WITH A LASER GRID.
Steven: A LASER GRID IS BASICALLY A FIELD OF GREEN LASER POINTS THAT SHINES AGAINST A WALL.
IF ANYTHING WERE TO MOVE IN FRONT OF IT, YOU CAN SEE IT BLOCKING OU THOSE LIGHTS.
Stephanie: I GOT COMFORTABLE IN A CHAIR, 'CAUSE I PLANNED TO BE THERE FOR A WHILE.
I WATCHED THE GRID AND ALSO ATTEMPTED AN EVP SESSION DURING THAT TIME.
I ASKED THE SPIRITS FOR KNOCKS.
I SAID, "I KNOW THAT YOU'VE BEEN ABLE TO OPEN THESE DOORS.
CAN YOU GIVE ME THREE KNOCKS?" THEY DID, IN FACT, KNOCK THREE TIMES.
IT WAS PRETTY INTENSE THAT THEY WERE ACTUALLY RESPONDING TO ME.
Steven: YOU CAN HEAR, VERY FAINTLY, A SERIES OF TAPPING NOISES.
THERE'S NO OTHER EXPLANATION FOR WHERE THESE NOISES COULD'VE COME FROM, BECAUSE THE REST OF THE TEAM WAS AT THE OTHER END OF THE HOUSE.
Stephanie: IT WAS SCARY, BEING IN THERE ALONE.
THE WHOLE TIME, I HAD COLD CHILLS.
WITHIN A FEW MINUTES OF ASKING QUESTIONS, THERE'S A SIGNIFICANT DROP IN TEMPERATURE.
AT THAT MOMENT, I FELT SOMETHING TOUCHING MY WAIST, SOMETHING TOUCHING MY HAND.
THAT REALLY FREAKED ME OUT.
I WANTED TO LEAVE QUICKLY, BUT I WAS DETERMINED TO STAY AND GET SOME EVIDENCE.
Steven: SOMETHING HAPPENED WITH THAT LASER GRID THAT WE HADN'T GOTTEN BEFORE.
THERE WAS SOME SHIFTING IN THE LIGHTS.
THEY DIDN'T BLOCK OU COMPLETELY.
BUT THERE WERE SECTIONS OF THEM THAT WOULD SHIFT TO THE LEF AND TO THE RIGH AS THOUGH SOMETHING WAS STANDING THERE FROM THE BEGINNING AND JUST MOVED A LITTLE BIT BACK AND FORTH.
Stephanie: WHEN I SAW THAT, IT REALLY SHOCKED ME, BECAUSE THE LASER GRIDS NEVER ACTED THAT WAY BEFORE.
IT WAS AMAZING EVIDENCE.
Steven: IT IS PRETTY OBVIOUS TO US THAT SOMETHING WAS IN THERE WITH STEPHANIE, TRYING TO MAKE ITSELF KNOWN.
ONE OF THE BEST PIECES OF EVIDENCE THAT WE GO FROM THE EVENING HAPPENED BY ACCIDENT, ACTUALLY.
WE HAD FINISHED UP OUR INVESTIGATION INSIDE THE HOME AND DECIDED TO GET TOGETHER FOR A GROUP PHOTO OUTSIDE.
Stephanie: IT WAS LATE.
WE HAD HAD A VERY LONG DAY.
BUT EVERYONE OBLIGED.
SO I SET UP THE TRIPOD AND SNAPPED A PICTURE.
[ CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS .]
AND I COULD TELL ON THE SCREEN THAT THERE WAS A MIS IN THE PICTURE.
SO I ASKED THEM TO HOLD STILL, AND WE WOULD TRY IT AGAIN.
THIS HAPPENED TWO MORE TIMES.
[ CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS .]
Steven: WHEN WE LOOKED CLOSER, WE NOTICED THAT WHAT LOOKED LIKE SMUDGES BEFORE WERE ACTUALLY EXTRA FACES.
Stephanie: I ZOOMED IN, BECAUSE I COULDN'T BELIEVE WHAT I WAS SEEING.
Steven: ON THE FIRST TWO PHOTOS, YOU CAN ACTUALLY SEE, TO THE LEFT OF ONE TEAM MEMBER, ANOTHER FACE STARTING TO FORM IN THE MIST.
THAT JUST GAVE ME CHILLS.
BUT THEN WE SAW THE THIRD PICTURE.
I COULDN'T BELIEVE IT.
THERE WAS ANOTHER FACE FORMING ON A DIFFERENT MEMBER OF THE TEAM.
I KNOW IN MY HEAR THAT THERE WAS SOMETHING ELSE THERE WITH US THAT NIGHT.
THE FOLLOWING DAY, WE REVIEWED THE REST OF OUR EVIDENCE, AND WHAT WE FOUND SURPRISED US.
WE COULDN'T HEAR IT AT THE TIME, BUT WHEN WE PLAYED BACK THE AUDIO RECORDING FROM WHEN WE WERE SETTING UP SOME OF THE EQUIPMENT, YOU CAN HEAR A VOICE SAY Stephanie: IT SOUNDS LIKE IT'S A MAN.
IT WAS VERY INSISTENT, LIKE THE SPIRIT WANTED TO MAKE ITS POINT.
[ INDISTINCT VOICE .]
Steven: THERE'S ANOTHER EVP THAT WE GOT AT THE SAME TIME, WHERE YOU CAN HERE A MALE VOICE SAY THE LAST PIECE OF EVIDENCE CAME FROM A DIGITAL RECORDER THAT WAS LEFT RUNNING IN THE BEDROOM FOR A COUPLE HOURS ON ITS OWN WITH NOBODY IN THERE.
OUT OF NOWHERE, UNPROMPTED, YOU HEAR A FEMALE VOICE WHISPER THE WORD THIS WAS A REALLY EXCITING PIECE OF EVIDENCE, BECAUSE IT'S THE CLEAREST EVP WE'VE EVER GOTTEN.
Stephanie: TO HEAR A VOICE ON AN AUDIO RECORDING IN A ROOM THAT YOU KNEW WAS EMPTY -- IT'S VERY SURREAL.
IT REALLY CONFIRMS MY BELIEF IN THE PARANORMAL AND THAT THIS HOME WAS, IN FACT, HAUNTED.
Steven: I CAN'T SAY WHETHER OR NO ANY OF THE THINGS THAT WE HAD CAPTURED WERE EVIDENCE OF THE SPIRITS OF THE MEN THAT THE HOMEOWNER HAD BEEN HEARING ARGUING.
[ GUNSHOT .]
BUT I CAN SAY THAT SOMETHING IS THERE.
SEVERAL THINGS ARE THERE THAT ARE PARANORMAL.
[ CLICKING, STATIC .]
Stephanie: I THINK THAT THIS HOME COULD BE POSSIBLY A PORTAL FOR SPIRITS, AND THEY'RE CONTENT KNOWING THAT SOMEONE CONFIRMED THAT THEY WERE THERE.
Steven: IT'S OBVIOUS THAT THESE SPIRITS ARE ITCHING TO BE HEARD.
THEY WANT TO BE NOTICED.
[ CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS .]
AND THEY'LL DO ANYTHING TO GET THAT ATTENTION.
WHAT LOOKED LIKE SMUDGES WERE ACTUALLY EXTRA FACES.
Stephanie: AT THAT MOMENT, I FELT SOMETHING TOUCHING MY WAIST.
Steven: THERE WAS SOMETHING ELSE THERE WITH US.
Hurst: WHEN I SAW THE FOOTAGE OF THE SHELF, THAT'S WHAT CONVINCED ME THAT WE MIGHT HAVE A SPIRI HAUNTING THE STORE.
Aho: IT HAD JUST RANDOMLY COLLAPSED OUT OF NOWHERE.
[ CLATTERING .]
IT REALLY FREAKED ME OUT.
Tobin: WE FELT A VIBRATION.
WE HEARD A LOUD BANG.
-Women[ SCREAMING .]
-Tobin: OH, MY GOD! Chabot: I IMMEDIATELY JUMPED OFF THE BED.
COULDN'T FIGURE OUT ANYTHING AS TO WHY IT WOULD'VE HAPPENED.
Rosatano: THERE WERE ORBS EVERYWHERE.
AND IN ONE OF THE PHOTOS WE GOT, THERE APPEARS TO BE A COWBOY IN FRONT OF THE HOUSE.
YOU DON'T KNOW IF THAT SPIRIT'S GONNA FOLLOW YOU HOME.
IT WAS EXTREMELY UNSETTLING.
Jackson: WE HAD CAUGH SEVERAL ORB PHOTOS -- IN THE MEN'S LOCKER ROOM, THE WOMEN'S LOCKER ROOM, IN THE HALLWAYS.
Maynard: AND YOU SEE THIS FIGURE STARING RIGHT AT US.
Jackson: YOU JUST WAN TO TURN AROUND AND RUN.
Maynard: I PULLED MY PANT LEG UP, AND THERE WAS THIS VICIOUS SCRATCH.
Jackson: MY SON HAD A HUGE HAND SLAP RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF HIS BACK.
THERE'S NO WAY THA HE COULD'VE DID THIS TO HIMSELF.
Maynard: MY GHOST STORY BEGAN WHEN I VISITED THE CHESAPEAKE COMMUNITY CENTER IN CHESAPEAKE, OHIO.
THE AREA WHERE CHESAPEAKE SITS, BACK IN THE MID-1800s, WAS CALLED STEP TOWN.
STEP TOWN WAS A VIOLENT, LAWLESS AREA.
IT'S REPUTED THAT, AT ONE POINT IN TIME, THERE WAS A SINGLE MURDER EVERY DAY.
THERE WAS A LOT OF KILLING, GAMBLING, PROSTITUTION.
SO MUCH VIOLENCE IN THAT PLACE, IT'S JUST EMBEDDED IN THE SURROUNDING LAND.
IN THE 1920s, THE CHESAPEAKE COMMUNITY CENTER WAS THE EAST CHESAPEAKE MIDDLE SCHOOL.
IT WENT THROUGH SEVERAL STAGES.
IT WAS A HIGH SCHOOL, AN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL.
IT HAD A WHOLE VARIETY AND AGE RANGE OF CHILDREN WHO HAD BEEN THERE.
[ SCHOOL BELL RINGS .]
[ INDISTINCT VOICES .]
AND WITH CHILDREN, YOU KNOW, YOU HAVE A GREAT DEAL OF EMOTION GOING THROUGH THE CHANGES IN LIFE, WHICH COULD EXPLAIN SOME OF THE THINGS THAT GOES ON.
DREAMA AND I MET IN HIGH SCHOOL.
SHE HAD HEARD ABOUT THE INVESTIGATIONS THAT I WAS DOING.
Jackson: I HAD READ IN THE NEWSPAPER THAT THEY WERE HAVING A PUBLIC HUN AT THE CHESAPEAKE COMMUNITY CENTER.
SO I CALLED HIM, ASKED HIM ABOUT IT, AND HE INVITED ME UP.
Maynard: AND SHE'S BEEN INVESTIGATING WITH ME EVER SINCE.
Jackson: DAVID FIRST TOLD ME THAT A LITTLE GIRL HAD DIED FROM THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL.
Maynard: THE LITTLE GIRL DROWNED NEARBY IN ONE OF THE CREEKS IN THE EARLY '50s.
SHE WAS TAKEN DOWN WITH HER GRANDMOTHER, WHO COMMITTED SUICIDE.
Girl: [ SCREAMS .]
THAT WAS THE LAS ANYONE SAW HER ALIVE.
FOUR DAYS LATER, THE AUTHORITIES DISCOVERED THE BODIES FLOATING IN THE RIVER.
THE LITTLE GIRL'S BURIED IN ROME TOWNSHIP CEMETERY NOW.
THE NIGHT WE ARRIVED AT THE CHESAPEAKE CENTER FOR THE FIRST INVESTIGATION WAS A RATHER STORMY NIGHT.
[ THUNDER CRASHES .]
WIND BLOWING, LIGHTNING.
THEY SAY THAT LIGHTNING CHARGES THE AIR WITH IONS, AND, IN THEORY, THESE SPIRITS DRAW UPON THOSE IONS TO MANIFEST.
Jackson: WHEN I FIRST WALKED IN THE DOOR, I IMMEDIATELY HAD AN ANXIOUS FEELING IN THE PIT OF MY STOMACH, SOR OF LIKE A MOTHER'S INSTINCT, WHERE YOU KNEW SOMETHING WAS GONNA HAPPEN, BUT YOU JUST DIDN'T KNOW WHAT.
Maynard: BEING AN OLD SCHOOL, THERE'S QUITE A FEW ROOMS IN IT.
THE MAIN ENTRANCE LEADS FROM THE CENTER OF THE BUILDING STRAIGHT THROUGH THE HALLWAY INTO THE GYMNASIUM.
Jackson: AND THEN THEY HAVE A BASEMENT.
THE BASEMENT IS IN THREE PARTS.
YOU WALK DOWNSTAIRS FOR THE MEN'S LOCKER ROOM, UPSTAIRS TO THE WOMEN'S LOCKER ROOM.
WALK FURTHER DOWN THE HALLWAY, AND THE BOILER ROOM AND THE OLD COAL ROOM IS DOWN THERE.
Maynard: THERE WERE FIVE OF US IN THE BUILDING.
TIM, DREAMA, AND JIM WERE DOWNSTAIRS.
JEFF AND MYSELF HAD GONE UPSTAIRS, TAKING PICTURES [ CAMERA SHUTTERS CLICKING .]
WHENI SEE A FIGURE STANDING IN FRONT OF THE WINDOW.
I WAS LIKE, "IS THERE SOMEONE STANDING THERE IN THE WINDOW?" HE'S LIKE, "YEAH.
YEAH, I SEE IT.
" AND THEN IT JUST DISAPPEARS.
WE STOPPED.
WE STEPPED BACK.
AND IT CAME BACK INTO VIEW.
AT THAT POINT, I ZOOMED IN WITH MY CAMERA.
YOU SEE THIS FIGURE OF A MAN THAT'S JUST STANDING THERE, STARING RIGHT AT US.
Jackson: YOU CAN SEE THE APPARITION IN THE BOTTOM.
Maynard: TO KNOW THAT THIS THING HAS THE ABILITY TO BE THERE INSTANTANEOUSLY -- IT WAS PRETTY UNSETTLING.
Jackson: THERE WAS A JANITOR THAT HAD WORKED THERE FOR YEARS AND YEARS.
I BELIEVE IT MAY HAVE BEEN THE ONLY JOB THAT HE HAD EVER HAD.
Maynard: EVEN ON HIS DAYS OFF, HE WOULD COME IN, KEEP THE PLACE LIT.
THE CHILDREN LOVED HIM.
HE LOVED THEM.
WE THINK HE STILL WATCHES OVER EVERYTHING THAT GOES ON THERE.
Jackson: LATER IN THE EVENING, WE WERE STANDING AT THE FRONT DESK, AND I KEPT SEEING SHADOW PLAY DOWN THE HALLWAY.
AND I'M THINKING, "DID I REALLY SEE THAT?" SO I PICKED UP MY CAMERA AND STARTED TAKING PICTURES.
[ CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKING .]
UPON REVIEWING THOSE PICTURES, I HOLLER TO DAVE.
I SAID, "HEY.
YOU KNOW, CHECK THIS OUT.
" Maynard: SHE'S LIKE, "DAVID, LOOK.
" YOU SEE THIS LITTLE GIRL STANDING IN THE DOORWAY AT ROOM 6.
Jackson: I'M ZOOMING IN AND LOOKING AT THE PICTURE, AND SURE ENOUGH, SHE WAS STANDING THERE AT THE DOOR, LOOKING RIGHT AT US.
Maynard: IT WAS AT THAT POIN WE KNEW THIS LITTLE GIRL WAS TRYING TO MAKE HER PRESENCE KNOWN TO US.
Jackson: WE'RE STILL TRYING TO FIGURE OU WHY SHE'S STILL TRAPPED IN THAT BUILDING.
HE WAS REALLY TERRIFIED.
THROUGHOUT THE COURSE OF THE EVENING, WE HAD CAUGH SEVERAL ORB PHOTOS -- IN THE MEN'S LOCKER ROOM, THE WOMEN'S LOCKER ROOM, DOWN IN THE BOILER ROOM, IN THE HALLWAYS.
Maynard: THE SPIRITS IN THA BUILDING ARE JUST TRAVELING LIKE THEY'VE NEVER MISSED A BEA AND THEY'RE STILL LIVING THE SAME LIFE THAT THEY HAD BEFORE.
THAT'S THE ONE POIN THAT REALLY GOT ME.
Jackson: YOU JUST WAN TO TURN AROUND AND RUN.
Maynard: AS THE EVENING PROGRESSED, I GOT A MALICIOUS FEELING, LIKE SOMETHING'S THERE AND SOMETHING WANTS TO HURT YOU.
I KNEW WE WEREN'T ALONE.
AND THEN, WHILE INVESTIGATING, JENNIFER HAD HER HAIR PULLED.
I GOT UPSET WITH IT.
I STARTED YELLING AT IT.
AND AT ONE POINT, I WAS PUSHED BACK INTO A LOCKER BY AN UNSEEN FORCE.
I WAS SCRATCHED SEVERAL TIMES ON THE LEGS.
AND I PULLED MY PANT LEG UP, AND THERE WAS THIS VICIOUS SCRATCH.
THERE WAS NOTHING I COULD'VE SCRATCHED MY LEG ON.
IT'S SCARY.
THESE THINGS CAN TOUCH YOU.
THEY CAN HURT YOU.
AND THERE'S NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT.
Jackson: MY SON NICK WAS DOWN IN THE LADIES' LOCKER ROOM WITH A FEW MEMBERS OF THE GROUP.
HE CAME UPSTAIRS HOLLERING FOR ME.
I SAID, "WHAT IS WRONG?" HE TURNED AROUND, AND HE HAD A HUGE HAND SLAP RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF HIS BACK.
Maynard: SOMETHING'S DOWN THERE HURTING HIM.
Jackson: THERE'S NO WAY THA HE COULD'VE DID THIS TO HIMSELF.
Maynard: WE TOOK NICK OU OF THE SITUATION VERY QUICKLY.
Jackson: IT REALLY STARTLED ME.
AS MUCH AS WE WANT TO HELP THE SPIRIT OF THE LITTLE GIRL, WE'RE VERY CONCERNED OF WHA LURKS IN THE BASEMENT AREAS.
KNOWING THAT SHE'S STILL IN THAT BUILDING -- IT REALLY BREAKS MY HEART.
Maynard: THE SPIRIT OF THIS LITTLE GIRL IS STILL IN THE SCHOOL.
BUT AT THE SAME TIME, WHERE HER LIFE ENDED SO YOUNG, PERHAPS SHE'S REVISITING THE ONE PLACE THAT MADE HER HAPPY.
TO SOMEONE WHO IS SKEPTICAL OF THE STORY OF THE EVENTS THAT HAVE HAPPENED AT THE CHESAPEAKE CENTER, ALL I CAN SAY IS "COME DOWN THERE.
" MANY SKEPTICS HAVE GONE INTO THAT BUILDING.
MANY MORE BELIEVERS HAVE LEFT IT.
Chabot: I COULD JUST FEEL THE PRESENCE OF SOMETHING THAT WASN'T NORMAL.
-OH, MY GOD.
-Tobin: JUST A LITTLE BIT.
IT WAS UNBELIEVABLE.
WE TOOK SOME PICTURES AND NOTICED ORBS ALL FILLING THE ROOM.
I HAD NO EXPLANATION.
THE BED WAS PUSHED OR KICKED.
-Women: [ SCREAMING .]
-Tobin: OH, MY GOD! "WE'RE GONNA BE IN FOR QUITE A NIGHT.
" Chabot: I COULD JUST FEEL OH, MY GOD.
SOMETHING THAT WASN'T NORMAL.
Tobin: WE TOOK SOME PICTURES AND NOTICED ORBS ALL FILLING THE ROOM.
THE BED WAS PUSHED OR KICKED.
-Women: [ SCREAMING .]
-Tobin: OH, MY GOD! "WE'RE GONNA BE IN FOR QUITE A NIGHT.
" MY GHOST STORY BEGAN AT THE SHANLEY HOTEL IN NAPANOCH, NEW YORK.
CATHY IS MY GIRLFRIEND.
I'VE KNOWN HER ACTUALLY SINCE 1986.
WE RECONNECTED ABOUT THREE YEARS AGO, AND WE BOTH FOUND A COMMON INTEREST IN THE PARANORMAL.
Chabot: I'VE HAD RELATIVES WHO HAVE PASSED AWAY AND THINGS THAT HAVE OCCURRED AFTER THEIR PASSING THAT I JUST CAN'T EXPLAIN.
SO I'VE ALWAYS BEEN VERY INTRIGUED BY PARANORMAL.
Tobin: SO WE DECIDED TO STAR LOOKING FOR PLACES THAT WE COULD DO A PARANORMAL INVESTIGATION TOGETHER.
Chabot: SO WE SEARCHED PARANORMAL LOCATIONS IN THE NEW YORK AREA AND CAME ACROSS THE SHANLEY.
Tobin: THE SHANLEY HOTEL WAS BUILT IN 1845.
THE BUILDING ACTUALLY BURNT DOWN AND WAS REBUILT AND REOPENED WITHIN A YEAR.
THERE WERE MANY DEATHS ASSOCIATED WITH THE SHANLEY.
I HEARD STORIES ABOUT PEOPLE BEING TOUCHED AND BEING PUSHED, GETTING SCRATCHES.
AND I JUST COULDN'T IMAGINE THA IT COULD POSSIBLY BE THAT SCARY.
SO I HAD TO FIND OUT FOR MYSELF.
CATHY AND I ARRIVED AT THE SHANLEY.
IT'S A GREAT BIG, WHITE, VICTORIAN-LOOKING HOTEL.
THE OUTSIDE OF THE BUILDING IS VERY RUN-DOWN-LOOKING.
IT'S IN NEED OF RENOVATIONS.
Chabot: YOU IMMEDIATELY KNOW YOU'RE IN THE RIGHT PLACE IF YOU WANT TO DO A HAUNTED INVESTIGATION.
THE SHANLEY WAS THE FIRST PLACE THAT I ACTUALLY WALKED INTO WHERE I COULD JUST FEEL THE PRESENCE OF SOMETHING THAT WASN'T NORMAL.
Tobin: MY HEART STARTED RACING.
I COULD FEEL AN ENERGY LEVEL THAT I'D NEVER FEL AT ANY OTHER BUILDING.
WE WERE GREETED BY THE OWNER, WHO WAS VERY GRACIOUS TO US AND OFFERED TO GIVE US A TOUR.
Chabot: AND AS WE'RE WALKING UP THE STAIRS, JOHN AND I BOTH STOPPED IN OUR TRACKS, 'CAUSE WE HEARD, AUDIBLY, A WOMAN SCREAMING.
Tobin: AND IT WAS ONLY MYSELF AND CATHY AND THE OWNER OF THE HOTEL WITH US.
THERE WAS NOBODY ELSE IN THE HOTEL AT THE TIME.
THERE WAS NOBODY OUTSIDE.
Chabot: TO HEAR THAT SCREAM WAS JUST BONE-CHILLING AND BREATHTAKING AND JUST OVERWHELMING TO ME.
Tobin: I'D NEVER HEARD A VOICE OUT LOUD THAT I COULDN'T EXPLAIN.
WE THOUGHT, "WOW.
WE'RE GONNA BE IN FOR QUITE A NIGHT.
" INSIDE THE SHANLEY HOTEL, THERE WAS A BORDELLO THAT WAS AROUND THE TURN OF THE CENTURY.
IT WAS VERY COMMON TO HAVE WOMEN OF THE NIGHT WORKING THERE.
AND WHILE THAT WAS HAPPENING, THERE WAS A ROOM RIGHT DOWNSTAIRS CALLED THE GENTLEMEN'S QUARTERS.
VERY PROMINENT BUSINESSMEN WOULD STOP THERE.
THEY WOULD GAMBLE, DRINK, BE SOCIAL.
THE BORDELLO IS A VERY HIGH-ENERGY PLACE WITHIN THE BUILDING.
SO, WE GET UP TO THE TOP OF THE STAIRS OF THE BORDELLO, AND WE START TAKING SOME PICTURES.
Chabot: AND WE CAUGHT A PICTURE OF A MIST UP ON THE CEILING, UP IN THE CORNER OF THE CEILING.
AND WE TOOK A PHOTO IMMEDIATELY THEREAFTER, AND THE MIST WAS GONE.
Tobin: I THINK THE BLACK MIS WAS PROBABLY THE GENTLEMAN THAT WAS IN CHARGE OF THE WOMEN THAT WORKED AT THE SHANLEY IN THE BORDELLO.
I'D HEARD STORIES ABOUT HIM NOT BEING VERY HAPPY WHEN PEOPLE TRY TO TREA THE WOMEN UP THERE VERY NICELY AND RESPECTFULLY, THAT HE WILL REACH OU AND KIND OF SAY WHO'S BOSS.
AND THAT WAS A LITTLE UNNERVING TO SEE.
THESE STORIES ARE STARTING TO COME TRUE FOR US.
AFTER THE TOUR, WE DECIDED WE'D SET UP OUR EQUIPMENT.
WE DECIDED TO GO UP TO THE THIRD FLOOR OF THE SHANLEY BECAUSE WE'D HEARD SO MANY STORIES OF THIS BOY, JONATHAN, AND THE THINGS THAT HE DOES AND LIKES TO DO UP ON THE THIRD FLOOR.
SO WE WENT UP THERE, AND WE HAD EVERYTHING SET UP.
AND WE DECIDED TO CONDUC AN EVP AND FLASHLIGHT SESSION UP THERE.
Chabot: IT'S VERY INTERESTING AT THE SHANLEY, BECAUSE THE ENERGY LEVELS ARE DIFFERENT, DEPENDING ON WHERE YOU'RE AT.
AND WHEN YOU'RE SPECIFICALLY IN JONATHAN'S ROOM, YOU CAN TELL THA IT'S A VERY INNOCENT SPIRIT.
Tobin: WE WERE ASKING SOME QUESTIONS, AND VERY SHORTLY AFTER, I FEL SOMEBODY TOUCHING MY HAND.
AND IT VERY MUCH FELT LIKE A LITTLE BOY OR A LITTLE GIRL WOULD JUST KIND OF GRAB THE END OF YOUR FINGERS AND SQUEEZE THEM JUST A LITTLE BIT.
AND IT JUST SENT A CHARGE OF ENERGY THROUGH MY WHOLE BODY.
IT WAS VERY CREEPY, BUT WARMING AT THE SAME TIME.
SO, WHEN WE WERE REVIEWING OUR EVIDENCE IN JONATHAN'S ROOM, WE LISTENED BACK TO SOME EVPs.
I COULDN'T BELIEVE WHAT I HEARD.
IN A LITTLE BOY'S VOICE, "TAKE ME.
" WE COULDN'T IMAGINE WHERE JONATHAN WOULD WANT US TO TAKE HIM, BUT IT WAS VERY CLEARLY HIS VOICE.
Chabot: IT'S OVERWHELMING.
IT'S INTRIGUING.
Tobin: THERE'S NO DOUB IN MY MIND JONATHAN WAS WITH US IN THAT ROOM THAT NIGHT.
SO, RIGHT AFTER JONATHAN'S ROOM, WE DECIDED THAT WE WOULD TRY CHECKING OU SOME OF THE GUEST ROOMS DOWNSTAIRS.
AND I THOUGHT, "I'M BRAVE.
I'LL GO TO MARGUERITE'S ROOM MYSELF.
" ONE OF THE STORIES OF MARGUERITE'S ROOM WAS THERE WAS A MIRROR THAT YOU STARE INTO, AND YOUR FACE WILL CHANGE OR BE DISTORTED.
I WAS PRETTY SKEPTICAL OF THAT, AND I THOUGHT, "WELL, I CAN DO THIS MYSELF.
SO I WILL LOOK INTO THIS MIRROR AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS.
" AND WHAT I SAW AFTER THA WAS JUST UNBELIEVABLE.
ANOTHER MAN WAS STARING BACK AT ME.
HE HAD BLACK HAIR AND DARK EYES.
AND I JUMPED BACK AND SAID, "OH, MY GOD!" Chabot: JOHN CAME DOWN FROM BEING IN MARGUERITE'S ROOM, AND HE WAS OBVIOUSLY VERY EMOTIONALLY CHARGED WITH WHA HE HAD JUST EXPERIENCED.
Tobin: THERE IS RUMORED TO BE A PORTAL IN MARGUERITE'S ROOM WHERE SPIRITS TRAVEL BACK AND FORTH THROUGHOUT THE SHANLEY.
AND I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT THE MAN LOOKING AT ME WAS NOT ME.
IT WAS CLEARLY ANOTHER PERSON FROM ANOTHER DIMENSION.
NEXT, WE WEN TO THE GENTLEMEN'S LOUNGE.
NOW, THIS ROOM IS ALSO A ROOM WHERE THERE'S RUMORED TO BE A PORTAL WHERE SPIRITS CAN COME AND GO THROUGHOUT THE HOTEL.
WE TOOK SOME PICTURES AND NOTICED AN UNBELIEVABLE AMOUNT OF ORBS ALL FILLING THE ROOM.
Chabot: WE KNEW THE HISTORY OF THE ROOM BEING PRETTY MUCH EXCLUSIVELY FOR MEN.
THERE WAS ONLY WOMEN IN I AT THE TIME THE PHOTO WAS TAKEN.
Tobin: I FIRMLY BELIEVE THA THOSE ARE THE SPIRITS OF THE MEN THAT HUNG OUT IN THE GENTLEMEN'S QUARTERS, BEING VERY UNHAPPY THAT WE HAVE WOMEN IN THE GENTLEMEN'S QUARTERS.
Chabot: AND WE WERE BOTH LIKE, "OKAY.
THANK YOU.
WE'RE LEAVING.
" Tobin: WE WERE REVIEWING OUR DVR FOOTAGE FROM THE GENTLEMEN'S QUARTERS AND WERE AMAZED TO SEE A VERY BRIGHT, SHINY ORB FLYING RIGHT THROUGH THE ROOM.
IT SORT OF ZIGZAGGED AROUND IN A SPIRAL MOTION, AND IT WAS VERY BRIGHT.
I BELIEVE THAT'S DEFINITELY A PRESENCE OF A MAN IN THE GENTLEMEN'S QUARTERS, AND HE WAS GONNA MAKE IT VERY CLEAR THAT HE WAS NOT HAPPY.
SO, WHEN WE WERE REVIEWING OUR DVR FOOTAGE, WE SAW SOMETHING I'D NEVER CAUGHT ON A DVR BEFORE -- A DOOR JUST STARTING TO CLOSE BY ITSELF.
WITHOUT ANYBODY IN THE ROOM, THE DOOR JUST COMPLETELY CLOSED.
THAT DOOR HAD BEEN OPEN FOR THREE HOURS BEFORE THA AND DIDN'T MOVE A BIT.
THERE WERE NO WINDOWS OPEN, NO PEOPLE IN THE ROOM.
I HAD NO EXPLANATION.
IT WAS UNBELIEVABLE.
SO, AFTER THAT, WE DECIDED WE WERE GONNA GO TO WHAT'S CALLED THE GREAT ROOM.
CATHY DECIDED SHE WAS GONNA TRY SOME DOWSING RODS THAT WERE AT THE HOTEL.
Chabot: WHEN YOU START THE SESSION, THE RODS ARE PARALLEL LIKE THIS.
AND WHEN WE WERE ASKING THE QUESTIONS, WE STARTED GETTING "YES" ANSWERS, AND THE RODS WOULD CROSS OVER AND LITERALLY JUST HIT ME IN THE ARM.
AND THAT BECAME OUR "YES" ANSWER.
OH, MY GOD.
Tobin: JUST A LITTLE BIT.
NOW ASK ANOTHER QUESTION.
Chabot: AND THEY WOULD PRETTY MUCH STAY STRAIGH IF THE ANSWER WAS NO.
I STARTED GETTING VERY EMOTIONAL WHILE I WAS DOING THE DOWSING RODS, ACTUALLY, BECAUSE I COULD FEEL AN ENERGY THROUGH MY BODY LIKE I HAD NEVER EXPERIENCED BEFORE.
-Tobin: ALL THE WAY.
-Chabot: OH, MY GOD! YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I'M FEELING RIGHT NOW.
I COULDN'T EVEN COMPREHEND AT THE TIME WHAT WAS HAPPENING.
WILL THERE BE ANY ACTIVITY IN THE BORDELLO IF WE GO UP THERE? [ CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY .]
Tobin: AS FASCINATING AS IT WAS, IT WAS STARTING TO BECOME VERY SCARY FOR HER.
SHE WAS PHYSICALLY BECOMING FRIGHTENED.
Chabot: I GOT TO GET MYSELF TOGETHER.
HOLD ON.
Tobin: SO I SAID IT WAS PROBABLY TIME FOR HER TO PUT THE DOWSING RODS DOWN.
LET'S TAKE A LITTLE BI OF A BREAK.
I WAS REALLY INTERESTED IN GETTING BACK TO THE BORDELLO, WHERE WE HEARD THE SCREAM EARLIER.
AND WE DECIDED THA IT WOULD BE A GOOD IDEA TO TRY WHAT WE CALL A SPIRIT-BOX SESSION.
NOW, WHAT A SPIRIT-BOX SESSION IS, IN SHORT, IS BASICALLY AN AM/FM RADIO RUNNING A SWEEP THROUGH ALL THE CHANNELS.
AND SO, IT CREATES A WHITE NOISE THAT, SUPPOSEDLY, SPIRITS CAN COMMUNICATE THROUGH.
IMMEDIATELY UPON USING THIS DEVICE, WE NOTICED SEVERAL WORDS COMING THROUGH THAT COULDN'T POSSIBLY BE ON THE RADIO.
THERE WAS A VERY DEEP MAN'S VOICE YELLING THE WORD "WHORE," "GET OUT," AND THINGS LIKE THIS, AND WE COULDN'T EXPLAIN IT.
SO WE DECIDED TO ASK SOME QUESTIONS.
AND AGAIN, THE VOICE CAME ACROSS THE MACHINE AND SAID "WHORE.
" SO I SAID, "WELL, WHO'S A WHORE?" [ SPIRIT BOX CLICKING .]
-Women: [ SCREAMING .]
-Tobin: OH, MY GOD! WE FELT A VIBRATION.
WE HEARD A LOUD BANG, AND I COULD FEEL THE BED SHAKE.
THE BED LITERALLY WAS PUSHED OR KICKED VERY LOUDLY.
-Women: [ SCREAMING .]
-Tobin: OH, MY GOD! Chabot: IT WAS LIKE THE BED LIFTED UP OFF THE GROUND AND JUST FELL.
IT WAS COMPLETELY OVERWHELMING, AND WE SCREAMED -- ALL OF US, EVEN JOHN.
I IMMEDIATELY JUMPED OFF THE BED.
COULDN'T FIGURE OUT ANYTHING AS TO WHY IT WOULD'VE HAPPENED.
AND IT WAS AN UNWELCOME FEELING.
AND, YOU KNOW, WE ASSUMED, BASED ON HOW LONG WE'D BEEN UP THERE AND THE LINE OF QUESTIONING WE WERE GETTING AND SOME OF THE RESPONSES, THAT THAT WAS PROBABLY THE GUARDIAN UP IN THE BORDELLO SAYING, "OKAY.
" YOU KNOW, "YOUR TIME'S UP.
YOU NEED TO NOT BE HERE ANYMORE" KIND OF THING.
Tobin: WE HAD NO IDEA WHAT JUST HAPPENED, BUT WE KNEW IT WAS TIME TO LEAVE.
WE GRABBED OUR EQUIPMENT.
WE GRABBED OUR SPIRIT BOX.
WE SHUT EVERYTHING OFF, AND WE RAN OUT OF THE BORDELLO.
THAT WAS ABOUT AS MUCH AS ANY OF US COULD TAKE FOR ONE NIGHT.
Chabot: MY EXPERIENCE AT THE SHANLEY CONFIRMS THAT SPIRITS ARE WITH US, THAT THERE'S PARANORMAL ACTIVITY NOT ONLY AT THE SHANLEY BUT IN OTHER PLACES AS WELL.
Tobin: THE SPIRIT OF THE GENTLEMAN IN THE BORDELLO, I FIRMLY BELIEVE, DOESN'T LIKE VISITORS.
-Women: [ SCREAMING .]
-Tobin: OH, MY GOD! I BELIEVE THE SPIRI OF THE WOMEN IN THE BORDELLO DO LIKE VISITORS, AND THERE'S A CONFLICT THERE.
I BELIEVE THE CHILDREN THAT MAY HAVE DIED TRAGICALLY AT THE SHANLEY JUST WANT SOMEONE TO COME AND VISIT THEM.
THAT SAID, THE MIX OF GOOD AND NEGATIVE AT THE SHANLEY IS A FRIGHTENING EXPERIENCE AND ONE THAT YOU JUST HAVE TO EXPERIENCE TO UNDERSTAND WHAT WE FELT.
Rosatano: WE START TAKING PHOTOS, AND THERE APPEARS TO BE A COWBOY IN FRONT OF THE HOUSE.
WE ASKED WHO THE NAME OF THE SPIRIT WAS.
HE CLEARLY SAID "MICHAEL.
" YOU DON'T KNOW IF THAT SPIRIT'S GONNA FOLLOW YOU HOME.
IT WAS EXTREMELY UNSETTLING.
Rosatano: WE START TAKING PHOTOS, AND THERE APPEARS TO BE A COWBOY.
WE ASKED WHO THE NAME OF THE SPIRIT WAS.
HE CLEARLY SAID "MICHAEL.
" IT WAS EXTREMELY UNSETTLING.
Callejas: MY GHOST STORY BEGAN WHEN I WAS GROWING UP IN MY FAMILY'S HOUSE IN GALT, CALIFORNIA.
THAT HOUSE WAS BUIL IN THE LATE 1800s.
THERE WAS A WAGON TRAIL THAT USED TO BE IN FRONT OF THE HOUSE.
YOU KNOW, IT MIGHT'VE BEEN A SALOON.
STORY GOES THAT TWO INDIVIDUALS PASSED AWAY ON THE GROUNDS.
I USED TO SHARE A ROOM WITH MY BROTHER.
THEN MY BROTHER MOVED OUT, AND I STARTED EXPERIENCING THINGS THAT HE WOULD TALK ABOUT WHEN HE WAS IN THAT ROOM BY HIMSELF.
I WAS HEARING WEIRD THINGS IN THE LIVING ROOM, IN THE KITCHEN.
IT JUST KIND OF FREAKED ME OU AT A POINT.
ONE EXPERIENCE I REMEMBER HAVING -- ONE NIGHT, I WAS TRYING TO GO TO SLEEP.
I JUST FELT A WARM FEELING OVER MY BODY.
I COULDN'T MOVE.
I COULDN'T SCREAM.
I COULDN'T SAY ANYTHING.
WHAT SCARED ME WAS I WAS FEELING, LIKE, A LITTLE KID JUMPING AROUND ME.
Child: [ LAUGHS .]
Callejos: AND AT THE SAME TIME, I WAS HEARING A DEEP VOICE LAUGHING IN FRONT OF ME.
Man: [ DEEP LAUGHTER .]
Callejos: DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO.
COULDN'T MOVE.
COULDN'T SCREAM.
AND I'M 11, 12 YEARS OLD WHEN THIS HAPPENED.
WELL, THAT WAS KIND OF SPOOKY.
MAN: Go away.
Callejos: AND ANOTHER TIME, BOTH MY PARENTS WOKE UP, AND THEY FELT A LITTLE KID JUMP OFF THE BED AND RUN OUT THE ROOM.
THAT'S WHEN MY MOM SAID, "THAT'S IT.
I CAN'T TAKE IT NO MORE.
" WE MOVED OUT, BUT MY FATHER STAYED AT THE HOUSE.
HE'S BEEN THERE EVER SINCE.
THINGS NEVER STOPPED HAPPENING.
WHEN I GOT OLDER, I WENT BACK TO THE HOUSE TO VISIT MY DAD.
I WAS A BIT SCARED STILL, BEING IN THE SAME HOUSE.
SO I STAYED ON AN AIR MATTRESS OUT IN THE LIVING ROOM.
I TRIED GOING TO SLEEP, BUT LAYING THERE, REMEMBERING THE THINGS THAT HAPPENED.
AND I'M LOOKING AT THE HALLWAY WHERE MY DAD HAS A CURTAIN.
I SEE THE CURTAIN OPEN UP TWICE.
THREE TIMES.
THERE'NO DOORS OPEN.
THERE'S NO WINDOWS OPEN.
THERE'S NO AIR-CONDITIONING IN THIS HOUSE.
THERE'S SOMETHING STILL HERE.
I'M HAVING THIS HAPPEN ALL OVER AGAIN.
IT BROUGHT ME BACK TO MY CHILDHOOD.
AFTER THAT EXPERIENCE HAPPENED TO ME, WE LOOKED INTO FINDING A CREW TO COME IN AND INVESTIGATE ON THEIR OWN.
WE CAME ACROSS AL AND HIS TEAM.
Rosatano: AS SOON AS I WALKED ON THE PROPERTY, I KNEW FOR CERTAIN THERE'D BE PARANORMAL ACTIVITY, BECAUSE YOU GET A FEELING.
IT'S LIKE A SIXTH SENSE.
WE START TAKING PHOTOS.
[ CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKING .]
THERE WERE ORBS EVERYWHERE.
Callejas: THERE IS STUFF HAPPENING HERE.
Rosatano: AND I NOTICE IN ONE PICTURE, AN ORB WAS JUST TRAVELING RIGH ABOVE AN INVESTIGATOR'S HEAD.
AND THAT INVESTIGATOR WAS ASKING IF THERE IS AN ORB AROUND TO GO BY HIS HEAD.
WHEN I SAW THOSE PHOTOS, I KNEW THERE WERE TONS OF ACTIVITY ON THE PROPERTY.
Callejas: THIS IS REALLY ALL AROUND US.
IT'S NOT JUST IN THE HOUSE.
IT'S ON THE LAND ITSELF.
AND THAT SCARED THEOUT OF ME.
Rosatano: WE THOUGHT IT'D BE TIME THAT WE TRY AND GET SOME EVPs WHILE THE SPIRITS WERE ACTIVE.
THE GROUP WAS ALL BROKEN OFF INTO TEAMS WHEN OUR LEAD INVESTIGATOR COMES RUNNING OVER SAYING HE'S STARTING TO GET EVPs.
WE ASKED WHO THE NAME OF THE SPIRIT WAS.
AND WHEN WE LISTENED TO THE PLAYBACK, THE SPIRIT SAID Callejas: WHEN I HEARD THAT, I WAS SURPRISED.
Rosatano: YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT TO FEEL.
YOU DON'T KNOW IF THAT SPIRIT'S GONNA FOLLOW YOU HOME.
AND YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT TO ASK NEXT 'CAUSE YOU'RE SPEECHLESS.
I BELIEVE THE REASON THAT SPIRIT'S STILL HERE IS 'CAUSE IT JUST DIDN'T WORK OUT WHERE HE WAS ABLE TO GO TO WHERE HE'S SUPPOSED TO GO.
IT JUST MAKES YOU THINK OF THE AFTERLIFE.
IT JUST MAKES YOU THINK WHERE WE'RE HEADED.
IT WAS EXTREMELY UNSETTLING.
WE'RE ASKING HOW MICHAEL DIED.
AND THE SPIRIT SAID THE WAY HE SAID IT SEEMS LIKE THE SPIRIT WAS PERHAPS MURDERED.
THAT'S SOMETHING THAT STRUCK US ALL IN AWE.
WE CONTINUED TO TAKE PHOTOS.
[ CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKING .]
ONE OF THE PHOTOS WE GO WAS EXTREMELY INTERESTING.
Callejas: HE NOTICED THAT THERE WAS AN APPARITION IN THE FRONT.
Rosatano: IT APPEARS TO BE A COWBOY IN FRONT OF THE HOUSE.
IT TIES IN TO THE PLACE BEING AN OLD-TIME WEST BAR.
MAYBE HE CAME OVER FOR ONE LAST DRINK.
Callejas: IT SPOOKED ME OUT.
Rosatano: AT THAT POINT, WE KNEW THAT THE SPIRITS WERE EXCITED, AND THEY WANTED TO MAKE CONTAC WITH US.
Callejas: IT WAS SURPRISING.
Rosatano: I DECIDED IT WAS TIME TO GO INSIDE THE HOUSE, WHERE I FELT A STRONG PRESENCE.
I SET UP A FLASHLIGH EVIDENCE TEST.
A FLASHLIGHT EVIDENCE TES IS BASICALLY -- YOU GRAB A SMALL MAGLITE, AND YOU PUT IT SOMEWHERE WHERE YOU BELIEVE A SPIRIT IS.
AND ALL YOU DO IS YOU ASK THE SPIRIT, "IF YOU'RE HERE, TURN ON THE FLASHLIGHT.
" Callejas: THERE WAS NO RESPONSE UNTIL MY BROTHER MENTIONED MY UNCLE JUAN, WHO JUST RECENTLY PASSED AWAY, ABOUT A YEAR AGO.
Rosatano: HE WOULD TURN ON THE FLASHLIGH WITH NO PROBLEM AT ALL.
Callejas: WE ASKED IT, "IF THAT'S REALLY YOU, TURN IT OFF.
" AND HE WOULD TURN IT OFF.
AND WHEN WE GOT REAL SOLID EVIDENCE WAS WHEN MY DAD WAS TALKING IN SPANISH TO MY UNCLE LIKE HE WAS THERE.
Man: [ SPEAKING SPANISH .]
Rosatano: WHEN DOUGLAS' FAMILY STARTED ASKING QUESTIONS IN SPANISH, THE FLASHLIGHT JUST TURNED TO LIFE IMMEDIATELY.
Man: MUCHO GUSTO.
Rosatano: IT INDICATED THERE WAS ANOTHER SPIRIT IN THE HOUSE, AND IT WASN'T MICHAEL, BUT IT WAS THEIR UNCLE JUANITO.
Man: [ SPEAKING SPANISH .]
Callejas: IT GAVE ME CHILLS.
Rosatano: AS AN INVESTIGATOR, I BELIEVE THAT DOUGLAS' PROPERTY IS EXTREMELY HAUNTED BY MORE THAN ONE SPIRIT, AND THE SPIRITS ALL HAVE DIFFERENT ATTITUDES.
HOWEVER, THE SPIRIT OF MICHAEL SEEMS TO BE THE DOMINANT SPIRIT.
Callejas: WE'VE HAD FAMILY FRIENDS THAT ARE NON-BELIEVERS OF SPIRIT WORLD.
THEY ALL HAVE COME OVER TO THE HOUSE, SPENT THE NIGHT.
THEY'VE ALL EXPERIENCED SOMETHING.
AFTER ALL THIS TIME, SEEING THAT CURTAIN MOVE HEARING VOICES THERE'S SOMETHING THERE, AND IT'S NOT GONNA GO AWAY.
Hurst: IT'S A SMALL GROCERY STORE THAT I PURCHASED.
THERE WAS A ROLL OF COOKIE DOUGH JUST GOT LAUNCHED OUT OF THE FRIDGE.
I CAME IN ONE MORNING, AND THERE WAS THE BOX OF ROLL-UPS, SITTING ON THE FLOOR.
I KNEW NO ONE HAD BEEN IN THE STORE THAT NIGHT.
Aho: IT REALLY FREAKED ME OUT.
Hurst: AND THAT'S WHEN I REALIZED WE MIGHT HAVE A SPIRI HAUNTING THE STORE.
Hurst: I CAME IN ONE MORNING, AND THERE WAS THE BOX OF ROLL-UPS, SITTING ON THE FLOOR.
I KNEW NO ONE HAD BEEN IN THE STORE THAT NIGHT.
Aho: IT REALLY FREAKED ME OUT.
Hurst: AND THAT'S WHEN I REALIZED WE MIGHT HAVE A SPIRI HAUNTING THE STORE.
[ DIDGERIDOO PLAYING .]
MY GHOST STORY BEGAN IN MY SUPERMARKE IN BROMPTON, AUSTRALIA.
IT'S A SMALL GROCERY STORE THAT I HAD PURCHASED BACK IN OCTOBER 2011.
WHEN I BOUGHT THE STORE, THE PREVIOUS OWNER MENTIONED TO ME THAT THERE'S GHOSTLY ACTIVITY, AND THERE WERE STRANGE THINGS HAPPENING WITH THE STORE.
AND AT THE TIME, I JUST DISMISSED IT.
BUT I THOUGHT WAS AN INTERESTING THING TO SAY.
BORA ALTINTAS WAS A CHAMPION MIDDLEWEIGHT BOXER FOR SOUTH AUSTRALIA.
AND IT WAS RUMORED THAT HE WAS PART OF THE UNDERWORLD, AS WELL AS INVOLVED WITH MOTORCYCLE GANGS.
AND BACK IN 1998, HE WAS GUNNED DOWN.
THERE'S STILL A BULLET HOLE IN A PHONE BOX OUT THE FRONT OF THE STORE, AS WELL.
PREVIOUS TO PURCHASING THE STORE, I HADN'T LOOKED AT ANY OF THE HISTORY OR CERTAINLY DIDN'T KNOW ABOU THE BOXER BEING GUNNED DOWN IN THE FRONT OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.
I JUST WANTED THE STORE FOR WHA IT WAS -- JUST A STORE.
SO, AFTER I PURCHASED HER IN OCTOBER, I WAS WALKING ALONG THE FRIDGES.
AND WE'VE GOT ALL THE FRIDGES LINED UP.
AND I WAS WALKING ALONG THERE.
AND ABOUT 2 METERS IN FRONT OF ME, THERE WAS A ROLL OF COOKIE DOUGH JUST GOT LAUNCHED OU OF THE FRIDGE, EVEN THOUGH THE COOKIE DOUGHS ARE STACKED UP.
IT COULDN'T JUST ROLL DOWN, BECAUSE IF IT ROLLED OFF, IT WOULD'VE JUST LANDED ON THE YOGURTS.
BUT THIS WAS ACTUALLY PROPELLED IN FRONT OF ME.
IT JUST LAUNCHED OFF OUT OF THE SHELF AND JUST KEPT ROLLING ALONG THE FLOOR.
AND IT'S THE STRANGEST THING THAT EVER HAPPENED TO ME.
AT THE TIME, I WAS JUST -- "HOW DID THAT HAPPEN?" AND EVEN THOUGH I'VE GO VIDEO FOOTAGE IN THE STORE, I DIDN'T EVEN BOTHER TO GO BACK AND LOOK AT IT.
AND THEN, PROBABLY A MONTH LATER, IT HAPPENED AGAIN TO ME, AND I WAS WALKING IN THE EXAC SAME SITUATION.
THE EXACT SAME THING HAPPENED.
AND EVEN THEN, STILL, NOTHING CLICKED ON TO WHAT THE PREVIOUS OWNER HAD MENTIONED TO ME.
WHEN THE COOKIE DOUGH FLEW OFF THE SHELF IN FRONT OF ME, I WAS MORE ANNOYED THAN ANYTHING ELSE THAT I HAD TO PICK IT UP AND PUT IT BACK.
LATE NOVEMBER, EARLY DECEMBER, ONE OF MY OTHER PREVIOUS EMPLOYEES, SHE WAS A LITTLE ANGRY AND UPSE IN THE AFTERNOON.
I SAID, "WHAT'S WRONG?" SHE SAID, "IT'S THE SAME BAG OF LOLLIES "HAVE BEEN THROWN OFF THIS HOOK TWICE TO ME THIS AFTERNOON.
"THE BAG'S NOT BROKEN.
"THEY'VE JUST BEEN FLUNG OFF THE HOOK INTO THE CENTER OF THE AISLE.
" AND THEN, LATER ON THAT DAY, ANOTHER TWO TIMES, IT HAPPENED WHILE I WAS THERE, AS WELL.
AND IT WAS THE SAME BAG OF CANDY OFF THE SAME HOOK FOUR TIMES IN ONE AFTERNOON.
AND THE BAG WAS NOT BROKEN.
THE EYELET WASN'T BROKEN AT ALL, AND THAT WAS THE WEIRDEST THING.
AT THE TIME, I DIDN'T PU TWO AND TWO TOGETHER.
Aho: NORM IS MY BOSS, AND I'VE KNOWN HIM FOR APPROXIMATELY EIGHT MONTHS NOW.
I SERVE CUSTOMERS.
I MAKE SOME ORDERS FOR THE STORE, CLEAN -- JUST GENERAL DUTIES, REALLY.
IT WAS JUST A NORMAL MORNING, AND I WAS IN AISLE 6.
THE ONLY OTHER PERSON IN THE STORE AT THE TIME WAS NORM.
SO, I WAS JUST MOPPING.
AND SUDDENLY, I SAW SOMEONE WALK FROM THE BACK OF THE AISLES TOWARDS AISLE 7.
I FOLLOWED IT, BECAUSE I WAS JUST QUITE CURIOUS AS TO WHO IT WAS.
SO I WALKED OVER TO AISLE 7 JUST TO CHECK IT OUT, BUT THERE WAS NO ONE THERE.
SO I WALKED BACK TO THE FRONT OF THE COUNTER, AND THERE'S SECURITY FOOTAGE.
SO I JUST CHECKED THAT, AND NORM WAS IN AISLE 1, PUTTING DRINKS AWAY.
SO IT COULDN'T HAVE BEEN HIM.
I JUST ASSUMED THAT I MUST HAVE JUST BEEN SEEING THINGS.
THERE WAS NOBODY ELSE IN THE STORE, SO THERE WASN'T REALLY ANOTHER LOGICAL EXPLANATION FOR IT.
Hurst: APPROXIMATELY 2, 2 1/2 MONTHS AFTER THE LOLLY INCIDENT, I CAME IN ONE MORNING AND OPENED THE STORE UP.
AND THERE WAS THE BOX OF ROLL-UPS SITTING ON THE FLOOR.
I JUST REALLY WANTED TO KNOW HOW THEY GOT THERE, BECAUSE I LEAVE MY FLOORS CLEAN.
AND I KNEW NO ONE HAD BEEN IN THE STORE THAT NIGHT, 'CAUSE THE SECURITY ALARM HADN' GONE OFF, WHICH DETECTS MOTION.
AND NO ONE HAD BEEN IN THE STORE, AND I WAS THE ONLY ONE WITH THE CODES AND KEYS AND EVERYTHING TO GE INTO THE STORE.
SO THE MORE I THOUGHT ABOUT I DURING THE DAY, THE MORE INTRIGUED I GOT.
AND I JUST WANTED TO GO BACK AND FIND OUT EXACTLY HOW IT HAPPENED.
AND THAT'S WHY I WENT BACK ON THIS PARTICULAR OCCASION AND REVIEWED THE FOOTAGE.
AND THAT'S WHEN I REALIZED WE MIGHT HAVE A SPIRI HAUNTING THE STORE.
Aho: WHEN I SAW THE FOOTAGE, I WAS PRETTY SHOCKED.
YOU KNOW, IT WAS NIGHTTIME.
THERE WAS NOBODY ELSE IN THE STORE.
AND SUDDENLY, THERE'S ROLL-UPS BEING THROWN AROUND.
IT REALLY FREAKED ME OUT.
Hurst: I CAN'T EXPLAIN IT, SO IT HAS TO BE SOMETHING ELSE HAPPENING IN THE STORE.
AND THE SPIRIT, THE GHOST DID IT OVERNIGH AND THREW THOSE ROLL-UPS OUT OF THE SHELF JUST TO LET SOMEONE KNOW IN THE STORE THAT "HEY, I AM HERE, AND I'M DOING STUFF.
AND WHAT YOU'VE SEEN BEFORE IS ME.
" Aho: AND IT KIND OF MADE ME THINK THAT WHAT I'D SEEN EARLIER, WITH THE FIGURE WALKING DOWN THE AISLE, MAY HAVE NOT BEEN MY IMAGINATION AFTER ALL.
AFTER I HEARD ABOUT THE FRUIT ROLL-UPS, I DECIDED I'D TELL MY BOSS WHAT I HAD SEEN.
HE BASICALLY TOLD ME THAT THE PREVIOUS OWNERS HAD ALSO SEEN SOMEONE WALKING AROUND THEIR STORE WHEN THERE WAS NO ONE ELSE IN IT.
IT DEFINITELY MADE ME FEEL REALLY EERIE, REALLY QUITE FRIGHTENED.
MY BOSS STARTED TELLING MYSELF ABOUT ALL THESE OTHER INCIDENTS THAT HAD OCCURRED PREVIOUSLY IN THE STORE.
YOU KNOW, COOKIE DOUGH WAS BEING THROWN.
LOLLIES WERE BEING FOUND ON THE FLOOR.
IT WAS QUITE WEIRD TO HEAR ALL OF THAT.
I HAD NO IDEA THAT THE STORE WAS HAUNTED.
I BELIEVE WHAT I SAW WAS A SPIRIT.
I WAS PRETTY SCARED TO OPEN THE STORE BY MYSELF.
I GRADUALLY STARTED COMING TO WORK A LITTLE BIT LATER JUST SO NORM COULD DO IT, AND I WASN'T THE ONE THAT HAD TO BE IN THERE FIRST.
Hurst: SHE WAS A BIT SCARED TO BE THERE BY HERSELF AND OPEN THE STORE.
AND I CAN UNDERSTAND HOW SHE MAYBE CAN FEEL A BIT SCARED WITH I AND A BIT CREEPED OU FOR HERSELF.
INITIALLY, AFTER IT HAPPENED, YEAH -- IT WAS A LITTLE SCARY BEING THERE BY YOURSELF AT NIGHT.
BUT CONSIDERING THAT THAT WAS THE ONLY THING THAT'S ACTUALLY HAPPENED AT NIGHT, AND THE REST OF THE STUFF HAD HAPPENED DURING THE DAY, SHOULD WE BE MORE SCARED DURING THE DAY? I DON'T KNOW.
A FEW MONTHS LATER, I WAS IN THE STORE WORKING REALLY LATE THAT NIGHT.
AND THEN I CAME BACK EARLY THE NEXT MORNING.
AND I WAS ONLY GONE FOR ABOUT FOUR HOURS, AND A SHELF HAD COLLAPSED.
A BOTTOM SHELF HAD COLLAPSED.
[ CLATTERING .]
HAD JUST GIVEN WAY THAT NIGH FOR NO REASON.
AND WHEN I SAW THE FOOTAGE OF THE SHELF COLLAPSING, THAT'S WHAT FINALLY CONVINCED ME THAT THE STORE WAS HAUNTED.
SO, EVERYTHING THAT'S BEEN THROWN AROUND OUR STORE SO FAR HAS ALL BEEN SWEETS -- LOLLIES AND THE COOKIE DOUGH.
EVERYTHING REFERS TO SWEET FOOD.
AND THE FAMILY OF THE BOXER, BORA ALTINTAS, THEY ALL MENTION THAT HE ACTUALLY HAD A SWEET TOOTH.
THE RUMOR IS THAT IT'S HIS PRESENCE STILL WITHIN THE STORE.
AND HIS FAMILY MEMBERS HAVE ACTUALLY CALLED ME UP AND WANTED TO KNOW WHAT WAS GOING ON AND CLAIMING THAT HE WAS THE GHOS IN THE STORE, AND THEN HE HAD A SWEET TOOTH.
AND THAT'S WHY THEY BELIEVE IT'S HIS SPIRI THAT'S ROAMING AROUND IN MY BUILDING.
HE WAS VERY YOUNG WHEN HE WAS GUNNED DOWN, BEING 30 YEARS OF AGE.
SO IT COULD BE HIM, NOT READY TO MOVE ON FOR THE NEXT WORLD AND JUST KEEPING HIS PRESENCE AROUND SO PEOPLE KNOW IT'S HIM AND WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM.
Aho: BEFORE I STARTED WORKING A THE IGA, I HAD NEVER EXPERIENCED ANY SUPERNATURAL ACTIVITY IN MY LIFE.
I BELIEVE THAT ALL THESE INCIDENTS THAT HAVE HAPPENED REALLY DOES PROVE THAT THERE IS SOMETHING ELSE OUT THERE.
Hurst: IF YOU HAD ASKED ME THIS FIVE, SIX MONTHS AGO, AND EVEN WHEN THE PREVIOUS OWNER SAID THE PLACE WAS HAUNTED, I WOULD'VE DISMISSED YOU STRAIGHT OU AND SAID, "NO, I DON'T BELIEVE -- I DON'T BELIEVE IN GHOSTS.
" AND NOW, AFTER THE INCIDENTS THAT HAVE HAPPENED, AND THERE'S BEEN MORE THAN ONE INCIDENT, I SAY THERE'S SOMETHING STRANGE IN MY STORE, AND YEAH -- IT'S PROBABLY A GHOS THAT'S RUNNING RAMPAN IN MY STORE AT THE MOMENT.
[ CLICKING, STATIC .]
Steven: SOMETHING WAS TRYING TO COMMUNICATE.
Stephanie: THE LASER GRIDS NEVER ACTED THAT WAY BEFORE.
Steven: WHAT LOOKED LIKE SMUDGES WERE ACTUALLY EXTRA FACES.
Stephanie: THE LASER GRIDS NEVER ACTED THAT WAY BEFORE.
Steven: WHAT LOOKED LIKE SMUDGES WERE ACTUALLY EXTRA FACES.
MY GHOST STORY BEGAN WHEN I INVESTIGATED A PRIVATE RESIDENCE IN LEWISBURG, KENTUCKY.
MY WIFE, STEPHANIE, AND I ARE KIND OF KNOWN AROUND THE AREA AS BEING PARANORMAL EXPERTS.
Stephanie: STEVEN'S MORE THE SCIENTIFIC-MINDED, SO HE LIKES TO BE ABLE TO DOCUMEN THE METERS AND THE EQUIPMENT, WHEREAS I LIKE TO SEE A PICTURE OR HEAR VOICES.
Steven: OUT OF THE BLUE, WE GET THIS CALL ONE DAY FROM A FRANTIC HOMEOWNER.
SHE HAD BEEN HEARING SOME VOICES IN HER HOUSE FOR QUITE A WHILE FROM PEOPLE WHO WEREN'T THERE.
Stephanie: THE WOMAN CLAIMED TO BE HEARING TWO MEN ARGUING AND, OCCASIONALLY, A WOMAN'S VOICE.
Steven: APPARENTLY, TWO MEN LIVED ON THE PROPERTY IN THE PAST, AND ONE HAD SHOT AND KILLED THE OTHER ONE.
[ GUNSHOT .]
RIGHT AWAY, I KNEW THAT THE ANGRY VOICES MIGHT BE THE SPIRITS OF THOSE TWO MEN.
Stephanie: THE HOMEOWNERS WERE EXPERIENCING CABINETS SLAMMING SHU ON THEIR OWN.
DOORKNOBS WOULD TURN.
FAMILY MEMBERS WERE BEING PINCHED.
THEY WOULD HEAR FOOTSTEPS DOWN THE HALL.
BED SHEETS WERE COMING OFF OF THEM AT NIGHT.
Steven: THE ACTIVITY GOING ON SCARED THEM.
SO WE WENT TO THE HOUSE TO DO AN INVESTIGATION.
WE START ALL OF OUR INVESTIGATIONS WITH A PRAYER OF PROTECTION, AND THEN SMUDGE EACH MEMBER OF THE TEAM WITH WHITE SAGE.
WE DO THIS TO CLEANSE THE PERSON OF ANY NEGATIVE VIBES AND TO BLOCK OUT ANY NEGATIVITY THAT MAY BE IN THE AREA THAT WE'RE INVESTIGATING.
Stephanie: AFTER THE PRAYER, WE GATHERED THE EQUIPMEN AND WENT INSIDE, WHERE WE MET THE HOMEOWNER.
STEVEN AND I IMMEDIATELY FEL A VERY STRONG PRESENCE, A LOT OF COLD CHILLS, AND STRANGE VIBES AS WE WALKED THROUGHOUT THE HOUSE.
EACH ROOM DEFINITELY HAD ITS OWN ENERGY.
Steven: AS WE WERE SETTING UP EQUIPMENT IN THE BEDROOM, I STARTED TO GE THIS STRANGE INTERFERENCE ON MY WALKIE TALKIE.
AT FIRST, I THOUGHT IT WAS FROM SOME OF THE OTHER EQUIPMENT.
BUT I NOTICED, AS WE WERE TALKING ABOUT GHOSTS AND SPIRITS AMONGST OURSELVES, THAT IT STARTED KIND OF RESPONDING TO WHAT WE WERE SAYING.
Stephanie: THE SPIRITS WERE STOPPING THE STATIC AND STARTING THE STATIC ON REQUEST.
[ STATIC .]
[ CLICKING, STATIC .]
WE JUST ALL KIND OF LOOKED AT EACH OTHER.
WE WERE EXCITED THA THIS WAS ACTUALLY HAPPENING.
Steven: ONCE I REALIZED THAT SOMETHING WAS TRYING TO COMMUNICATE THROUGH THE WALKIE TALKIE, WE WENT AHEAD AND QUICKLY SET UP THE VIDEO CAMERA AND PUT A DIGITAL RECORDER IN THAT ROOM.
STEPHANIE HAD BEEN SNAPPING SOME PHOTOS.
AND IN ONE OF THE PHOTOS, YOU CAN ACTUALLY SEE A LARGE ORB FLOATING ABOVE MY HEAD.
Stephanie: LATER ON, IN ONE ROOM IN PARTICULAR, THE TEMPERATURE SEEMED TO DROP A FEW DEGREES.
SO I GOT OUT MY METER, AND IT DID SPIKE.
SO I HAD STEVEN TAKE A PICTURE OF ME, AND THERE WAS AN ORB IN THA PHOTO, RIGHT ABOVE THE METER.
[ BEEPING .]
Steven: WHEN WE GOT THE EMF SPIKE ALONG WITH THE ORB IN THE PHOTO, THAT RIGHT AWAY TOLD US THAT WE NEED TO SET UP SOME MORE EQUIPMEN AND LOOK AT THAT LOCATION A LITTLE FURTHER.
Stephanie: THE ROOM HAD A HISTORY OF ACTIVITY, OF THE DOORS OPENING AND CLOSING.
SO I VOLUNTEERED TO SIT IN THAT ROOM BY MYSELF IN THE DARK WITH A LASER GRID.
Steven: A LASER GRID IS BASICALLY A FIELD OF GREEN LASER POINTS THAT SHINES AGAINST A WALL.
IF ANYTHING WERE TO MOVE IN FRONT OF IT, YOU CAN SEE IT BLOCKING OU THOSE LIGHTS.
Stephanie: I GOT COMFORTABLE IN A CHAIR, 'CAUSE I PLANNED TO BE THERE FOR A WHILE.
I WATCHED THE GRID AND ALSO ATTEMPTED AN EVP SESSION DURING THAT TIME.
I ASKED THE SPIRITS FOR KNOCKS.
I SAID, "I KNOW THAT YOU'VE BEEN ABLE TO OPEN THESE DOORS.
CAN YOU GIVE ME THREE KNOCKS?" THEY DID, IN FACT, KNOCK THREE TIMES.
IT WAS PRETTY INTENSE THAT THEY WERE ACTUALLY RESPONDING TO ME.
Steven: YOU CAN HEAR, VERY FAINTLY, A SERIES OF TAPPING NOISES.
THERE'S NO OTHER EXPLANATION FOR WHERE THESE NOISES COULD'VE COME FROM, BECAUSE THE REST OF THE TEAM WAS AT THE OTHER END OF THE HOUSE.
Stephanie: IT WAS SCARY, BEING IN THERE ALONE.
THE WHOLE TIME, I HAD COLD CHILLS.
WITHIN A FEW MINUTES OF ASKING QUESTIONS, THERE'S A SIGNIFICANT DROP IN TEMPERATURE.
AT THAT MOMENT, I FELT SOMETHING TOUCHING MY WAIST, SOMETHING TOUCHING MY HAND.
THAT REALLY FREAKED ME OUT.
I WANTED TO LEAVE QUICKLY, BUT I WAS DETERMINED TO STAY AND GET SOME EVIDENCE.
Steven: SOMETHING HAPPENED WITH THAT LASER GRID THAT WE HADN'T GOTTEN BEFORE.
THERE WAS SOME SHIFTING IN THE LIGHTS.
THEY DIDN'T BLOCK OU COMPLETELY.
BUT THERE WERE SECTIONS OF THEM THAT WOULD SHIFT TO THE LEF AND TO THE RIGH AS THOUGH SOMETHING WAS STANDING THERE FROM THE BEGINNING AND JUST MOVED A LITTLE BIT BACK AND FORTH.
Stephanie: WHEN I SAW THAT, IT REALLY SHOCKED ME, BECAUSE THE LASER GRIDS NEVER ACTED THAT WAY BEFORE.
IT WAS AMAZING EVIDENCE.
Steven: IT IS PRETTY OBVIOUS TO US THAT SOMETHING WAS IN THERE WITH STEPHANIE, TRYING TO MAKE ITSELF KNOWN.
ONE OF THE BEST PIECES OF EVIDENCE THAT WE GO FROM THE EVENING HAPPENED BY ACCIDENT, ACTUALLY.
WE HAD FINISHED UP OUR INVESTIGATION INSIDE THE HOME AND DECIDED TO GET TOGETHER FOR A GROUP PHOTO OUTSIDE.
Stephanie: IT WAS LATE.
WE HAD HAD A VERY LONG DAY.
BUT EVERYONE OBLIGED.
SO I SET UP THE TRIPOD AND SNAPPED A PICTURE.
[ CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS .]
AND I COULD TELL ON THE SCREEN THAT THERE WAS A MIS IN THE PICTURE.
SO I ASKED THEM TO HOLD STILL, AND WE WOULD TRY IT AGAIN.
THIS HAPPENED TWO MORE TIMES.
[ CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS .]
Steven: WHEN WE LOOKED CLOSER, WE NOTICED THAT WHAT LOOKED LIKE SMUDGES BEFORE WERE ACTUALLY EXTRA FACES.
Stephanie: I ZOOMED IN, BECAUSE I COULDN'T BELIEVE WHAT I WAS SEEING.
Steven: ON THE FIRST TWO PHOTOS, YOU CAN ACTUALLY SEE, TO THE LEFT OF ONE TEAM MEMBER, ANOTHER FACE STARTING TO FORM IN THE MIST.
THAT JUST GAVE ME CHILLS.
BUT THEN WE SAW THE THIRD PICTURE.
I COULDN'T BELIEVE IT.
THERE WAS ANOTHER FACE FORMING ON A DIFFERENT MEMBER OF THE TEAM.
I KNOW IN MY HEAR THAT THERE WAS SOMETHING ELSE THERE WITH US THAT NIGHT.
THE FOLLOWING DAY, WE REVIEWED THE REST OF OUR EVIDENCE, AND WHAT WE FOUND SURPRISED US.
WE COULDN'T HEAR IT AT THE TIME, BUT WHEN WE PLAYED BACK THE AUDIO RECORDING FROM WHEN WE WERE SETTING UP SOME OF THE EQUIPMENT, YOU CAN HEAR A VOICE SAY Stephanie: IT SOUNDS LIKE IT'S A MAN.
IT WAS VERY INSISTENT, LIKE THE SPIRIT WANTED TO MAKE ITS POINT.
[ INDISTINCT VOICE .]
Steven: THERE'S ANOTHER EVP THAT WE GOT AT THE SAME TIME, WHERE YOU CAN HERE A MALE VOICE SAY THE LAST PIECE OF EVIDENCE CAME FROM A DIGITAL RECORDER THAT WAS LEFT RUNNING IN THE BEDROOM FOR A COUPLE HOURS ON ITS OWN WITH NOBODY IN THERE.
OUT OF NOWHERE, UNPROMPTED, YOU HEAR A FEMALE VOICE WHISPER THE WORD THIS WAS A REALLY EXCITING PIECE OF EVIDENCE, BECAUSE IT'S THE CLEAREST EVP WE'VE EVER GOTTEN.
Stephanie: TO HEAR A VOICE ON AN AUDIO RECORDING IN A ROOM THAT YOU KNEW WAS EMPTY -- IT'S VERY SURREAL.
IT REALLY CONFIRMS MY BELIEF IN THE PARANORMAL AND THAT THIS HOME WAS, IN FACT, HAUNTED.
Steven: I CAN'T SAY WHETHER OR NO ANY OF THE THINGS THAT WE HAD CAPTURED WERE EVIDENCE OF THE SPIRITS OF THE MEN THAT THE HOMEOWNER HAD BEEN HEARING ARGUING.
[ GUNSHOT .]
BUT I CAN SAY THAT SOMETHING IS THERE.
SEVERAL THINGS ARE THERE THAT ARE PARANORMAL.
[ CLICKING, STATIC .]
