My Ghost Story (2010) s06e14 Episode Script
Restless Spirits
Barkman: I WALKED INTO THE BEDROOM, AND SHE'S SITTING THERE SHAKING AND SAID, "LOOK.
" Marino: YOU HEAR FOOTSTEPS GOING ACROSS THE FLOOR.
I WAS TERRIFIED.
Graham: ONE OF THE ELDER LADIES ACTUALLY GOT PUSHED, AND SHE CRASHED INTO A TABLE, KNOCKING THE GLASS TO THE FLOOR.
[ WOMEN SCREAMING .]
I THOUGHT, "OH, MY GOD.
WHAT A NASTY NIGH IT'S GOING TO BE TONIGHT.
" Rogers: AS SOON AS WE ALL NOTICED THIS, THE ENTITY FLASHED UP INTO THE CEILING AND DISAPPEARED INTO A BIG BLACK MIST.
Eva: THE SPIRITS WANTED TO PLAY.
Silverstein: WHATEVER WAS IN THERE KNEW WE WERE COMING, AND THEY WERE READY FOR US.
WE SAW ONE ORB FLY WITHIN SECONDS OF BEING IN THERE.
I KNEW THAT WE NEEDED TO GET IN THERE AND FIGURE OU WHAT WAS GOING ON.
Pitts: HERE IS A SILHOUETTE OF A WOMAN APPEARING TO BE A MAID.
Fuston: IT LOOKS LIKE A FEMALE WITH HER BACK TO THE CAMERA.
Pitts: THE CREEPIEST THING ABOUT IT WAS, THERE'S NO NECK.
Salazar: I REMEMBER HEARING FOOTSTEPS COMING DOWN THE HALLWAY AND I HEAR THIS REALLY DEEP VOICE SAY, "I HATE YOU!" Rogers: MY GHOST STORY BEGAN WHEN I STARTED WORKING AT VICTORIA'S BLACK SWAN INN IN SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS.
MY FIRST IMPRESSION DRIVING UP TO THE BLACK SWAN INN WAS THE GRAND BEAUTY OF THE PLACE.
BUT UPON GETTING OUT OF THE CAR, YOU COULD FEEL A HEAVINESS, A THICKNESS IN THE AIR.
IT ALMOST FELT LIKE THERE WERE EYES WATCHING YOU FROM ALL DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS.
IN 2008, I STARTED WORKING AS A TOUR GUIDE AT VICTORIA'S BLACK SWAN INN.
ALL OF THIS LAND YOU SEE HERE WAS NATIVE AMERICAN LAND.
AT THE TIME, I KNEW A BIT OF THE HISTORY FROM SOME BOOKS THAT I HAD READ.
IT WAS NATIVE AMERICAN GROUND FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS.
ON TOP OF THAT, THE MAHLER FAMILY, GERMAN IMMIGRANTS, BUILT THAT HOME IN 1868.
IT IS WHERE HEINRICH, OR HENRY, MAHLER BUILT HIS AWARD-WINNING JERSEY CREAMERY DAIRY FARM.
THE FORMER TOUR GUIDE USED TO HEAR HIS FOOTSTEPS AND SAID THAT HE HAD ACTUALLY SEEN HIM.
UPON STARTING AS A TOUR GUIDE THERE, ONE OF THE FIRST GROUPS THAT I TOOK THROUGH EXPERIENCED SOMETHING IN THE MILK BARN.
THERE WAS A DOOR THAT SEEMED TO BE OPENING AND CLOSING UPON DEMAND.
IT SCARED ME SO MUCH.
SO AFTER THAT HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES, WE WALKED RIGHT UP TO THE DOOR, AND IN MY RIGHT EAR, VERY LOUD, A DEEP, GRAVELY, RASPY VOICE, WHERE I COULD ACTUALLY FEEL THE BREATH ON MY EAR SAID, "NO!" AS BRAVE AS I THOUGHT I WAS, MY INSTANT REACTION WAS JUS TO CLOSE MY EYES AND FREEZE.
I WAS TERRIFIED.
AND I HAD TO SCREAM FOR THE BIGGEST MAN TO COME BACK AND RESCUE ME.
THE MILK BARN SEEMS TO BE A HOT SPOT, AND IT'S NOT VERY NICE.
AT ONE POINT, WE WERE SITTING IN A SESSION AND I SAW A PINPOINT OF LIGHT.
I LEANED FORWARD TO POINT AT IT, AND THE CHAIR THAT I HAD BEEN SITTING IN YANKED OUT FROM UNDER ME AND SLAMMED INTO A METAL TABLE.
IT SCARED THE BEJESUS OUT OF ME.
AT THAT POINT, I HAD TO LEAVE THE BARN BECAUSE I HAD BEEN SHAKEN SO MUCH.
DURING ONE PARTICULAR TOUR GROUP, I WAS SITTING ON THE BED AND I FELT A VERY COLD SPOT ON MY LEG.
SO I TOOK A PHOTOGRAPH OF IT.
AND AS I CONTINUED TO PHOTOGRAPH ACROSS THE ROOM, A BIG BLACK SHAPE WAS MOVING FROM WHERE I WAS INTO THE BATHROOM.
YOU CAN SEE A PHOTOGRAPH OF I ACTUALLY GOING THROUGH THE BATHROOM DOOR.
I REALIZED WHAT I HAD JUST FEL ON THAT BED WAS NOT JUST A DRAFT, BUT IT WAS A SPIRIT LEADING ME TO TAKE PHOTOGRAPHS FROM ONE SIDE OF THE ROOM TO THE OTHER.
I WAS COMPLETELY SHOCKED.
VICTOR AND HIS WIFE WON A CONTES THROUGH A LOCAL RADIO STATION FOR AN OVERNIGHT INVESTIGATION.
HI.
I'M ANGELKA.
Salazar: WE WERE JUST FASCINATED WITH THE PLACE.
IT BEING BUILT UPON NATIVE AMERICAN GROUND.
THERE WAS JUS SOMETHING ALLURING ABOUT IT.
THE FIRST EXPERIENCE I REMEMBER WAS WHEN I'M TALKING INTO MY RECORDER WALKING DOWN THE FLAGSTONES TO THE GAZEBO.
I FELT KIND OF ODD, AND THIS COLD SPOT JUST CAME OVER ME.
I STOPPED THE RECORDER AND UPON PLAYBACK, I HEAR THIS REALLY DEEP, GUTTURAL VOICE SAY "I HATE YOU!" I JUST LITERALLY FROZE.
IT COULD HAVE BEEN HEINRICH.
THAT'S HIS PLACE.
THAT'S HIS DOMAIN.
THERE WAS JUS THIS CONFLICT OF FEAR BECAUSE IT SEEMS THAT HE WOULD RATHER NOT HAVE US THERE.
I WAS COMPLETELY FLOORED.
THAT NIGHT WE WERE STAYING IN THE GROOM'S ROOM.
WE HAD ALWAYS HEARD THAT THE GROOM ROOM WAS VERY ACTIVE.
NOBODY LIKED TO STAY THERE.
NOBODY COULD ACTUALLY STAY A FULL NIGHT THERE BECAUSE IT WAS TOO NOISY.
THEY WOULD ALWAYS HEAR TAPPING ON THE WINDOWS.
I REMEMBER LAYING IN THE BED.
IT WAS ABOUT 12:00.
AND I REMEMBER HEARING FOOTSTEPS COMING DOWN THE HALLWAY.
THEY WERE VERY SMALL FOOTSTEPS.
I STOOD UP.
AND I REMEMBER HEARING THE NAME EMMA.
AND I SAID, "EMMA, YOU MAY NO ENTER INTO THIS ROOM.
"I'M SETTING MY BOUNDARIES.
"IF YOU WANT TO TALK WITH US, YOU MAY TALK WITH US TOMORROW, BUT YOU CAN'T COME IN.
" SOME GUEST INVESTIGATORS BROUGH A THERMAL CAM WHICH READS BODY TEMPERATURE AND THE AMBIENT TEMPERATURE, AND THEY WERE FILMING DOWN THE HALLWAY.
AND THEY ASKED ME TO CALL OUT EMMA'S NAME.
I CALLED HER OUT.
ONE OF THE GUEST INVESTIGATORS KEPT SNAPPING PICTURES AND WAS LIKE, "WE GOT HER.
" WITH THE FULL SPECTRUM CAMERA, YOU ACTUALLY GET ALL THESE TYPE OF DISTORTED COLORS -- ORANGES, REDS, GREENS, AND BLUES.
AND RIGHT IN THE CENTER OF THESE PHOTOGRAPHS IS WHERE YOU SEE THE FIGURE, WHICH IS LIKE A SHADOW.
FOR ME, IT WAS LIKE, "WOW.
THIS IS REALLY HER.
" Rogers: I LOOKED UP THE HISTORY IN OUR BINDER OF GENEALOGY ON THE FAMILIES WHO HAD LIVED THERE, AND THERE IS AN EMMA ASSOCIATED WITH TWO DIFFERENT FAMILIES WHO LIVED IN THAT HOUSE.
Salazar: THERE WAS A STRONG SENSE OF VALIDATION, BECAUSE IN MY HEAD, I WAS LIKE, "OKAY, I'M NOT GOING CRAZY.
" Rogers: EVERYONE WAS FLABBERGASTED.
Salazar: AFTER SEEING ALL THE CAPTURES OF THE FULL SPECTRUM CAMERA, WE DECIDED TO GO WITH SOMETHING MORE ACCESSIBLE, WHICH WAS A TRAP CAM.
IT WORKS FOR HUNTERS AT NIGHT, AND IT'S A MOTION SENSOR.
IT'LL CAPTURE MOVEMENT.
WE PUT IT IN ONE OF THE BIG TREES.
WE LEFT IT THERE FOR A COUPLE OF HOURS.
I REMEMBER GETTING THE CAMERA, LOOKING AT ALL THE PICTURES.
THAT'S WHEN WE SAW THE FIGURE.
IT LOOKS LIKE SHE'S HOLDING FLOWERS OR MAYBE A DOLL OF SOME SORT.
Rogers: AND YOU CAN SEE THE BOW IN HER HAIR AND THE RUFFLES IN HER DRESS.
WE BELIEVE THAT THAT IS SOPHIE, THE GRANDDAUGHTER OF THE MAHLER FAMILY.
SHE LIVED THERE INTO HER 80s.
BUT SHE CHOOSES TO COME BACK AS A 6-YEAR-OLD GIRL BECAUSE THAT WAS HER HAPPIEST TIME IN HER LIFE.
Salazar: WHEN I SAW THAT PHOTO, I WAS COMPLETELY FLOORED.
Rogers: ONE OF THE INVESTIGATORS HAD A VERY SOPHISTICATED FULL SPECTRUM CAMERA, WHICH WAS POINTED INTO THE MILK BARN.
ONE MAN SAW SOMEONE ON THE MONITOR.
AS SOON AS WE ALL NOTICED THIS, THE ENTITY FLASHED UP INTO THE CEILING AND DISAPPEARED INTO A BIG BLACK MIST.
Salazar: IT WAS A HUGE BLACK MASS.
Rogers: WHOEVER IT WAS, POSSIBLY HEINRICH, WAS OBSERVING AND AS SOON AS WE NOTICED HIM, HE LEFT.
WE JUST COULDN'T BELIEVE WHAT WE HAD JUST SEEN.
Salazar: THERE WAS ANOTHER VIDEO CAPTURED IN THE MILKING BARN.
IN THE LEFT-HAND CORNER, YOU ACTUALLY SEE A TALL MAN AND HE'S WEARING A CAP.
Rogers: YOU COULD ACTUALLY SEE WHO WE BELIEVE IS THE SPIRIT OF HEINRICH, AND HE JUST DISAPPEARS INTO NOTHING.
SEEING THAT VIDEO VALIDATED FOR ME THAT HE WAS THERE.
HE IS INDEED WITH US.
AND I'M VERY UNEASY NOW.
Salazar: THAT WAS ONE OF THE MOST TERRIFYING THING I'VE SEEN.
I'VE NOT WANTED TO GO BACK TO THE VICTORIA'S BLACK SWAN INN.
THE SPIRITS THAT WERE ONCE FRIENDLY HAVE BECOME MORE AGGRESSIVE.
Rogers: THERE ARE SO MANY LAYERS OF HISTORY FROM THE INDIANS TO THE MAHLER FAMILY.
IT'S KIND OF A BOTTOMLESS PI OF PARANORMAL ACTIVITY.
THE SPIRITS AT THE BLACK SWAN INN HAVE BEEN THERE FOR QUITE SOME TIME.
AND AREN'T GOING ANYWHERE ANYTIME SOON.
Eva: YOU JUST SEE THIS BOOK FLY OFF THE SHELF.
Silverstein: WE SAW ONE ORB FLY RIGHT PAST US.
Eva: SHE FELT ATTACKED.
Eva: YOU JUST SEE THIS BOOK FLY OFF THE SHELF.
Silverstein: WE SAW ONE ORB FLY RIGHT PAST US.
RED, RED, RED WAS ALL WE COULD GET ON THE K-II.
MY NAME WAS SO CLEARLY SAID.
Eva: SHE FELT ATTACKED.
MY GHOST STORY BEGAN WHEN I STARTED WORKING AT THE CAT & FIDDLE PUB AND RESTAURAN IN HOLLYWOOD, CALIFORNIA.
THE CAT & FIDDLE WAS STARTED BY MY FATHER, KIM, IN 1982.
IT'S A BRITISH PUB AND RESTAURAN LOCATED RIGHT ON SUNSET BOULEVARD IN THE HEART OF HOLLYWOOD.
IN ITS EARLIER DAY, THE BUILDING WAS USED FOR WARDROBE AND MAKEUP FOR SURROUNDING MOVIE STUDIOS.
AND YOU CAN DEFINITELY FEEL A SENSE OF HISTORY THERE.
NOT ONLY IS IT AN OLDER BUILDING FOR HOLLYWOOD, BUT JUST THE ENERGY OF THE CREATIVE TYPES THAT HAVE BEEN COMING THROUGH THOSE DOORS THROUGHOUT THE YEARS -- ANYONE IN PRODUCTION, MUSIC, THE ARTS, THEATER.
IT'S DEFINITELY APPARENT.
I PRETTY MUCH GREW UP AT THE CAT & FIDDLE, BUT I BECAME BAR MANAGER THERE OVER A DECADE AGO.
Silverstein: I KNEW HER FATHER, KIM GARDNER, WHO INTRODUCED ME TO HIS FAMILY IN 1994.
KIM HAS SINCE PASSED ON, BUT MANY PEOPLE, INCLUDING MYSELF, SAY KIM HAS NEVER LEFT THE BUILDING.
THE MINUTE YOU WALK THROUGH THE DOORS, DEPENDING ON WHAT NIGHT, YOU FEEL THINGS IN THERE -- CHILLS UP THE SPINE, YOU FEEL LIKE SOMEONE'S STANDING BEHIND YOU, EATING, AND YOU FEEL A LIGHT PUSH.
Eva: DURING WORKING HOURS, THERE'S ALWAYS LITTLE THINGS THAT HAPPEN, LITTLE SORT OF THINGS HERE AND THERE, LIKE A PINT GLASS ACTUALLY FLYING OFF THE SHELF, KNOCKING OVER THE COMPUTER, AND JUST BREAKING ON THE COUNTER.
WHEN I ACTUALLY CLOSE UP THE PLACE ON MY OWN, I'M PRETTY MUCH LIKE A LITTLE KID TRYING TO GET OUT OF THERE AS FAST AS I CAN.
A FEW YEARS AGO, WE PUT IN THE SURVEILLANCE SYSTEM.
SO, ONE OF THE CAMERAS IS IN THE KITCHEN.
YOU JUST SEE THIS BOOK FLY OFF THE SHELF, FOLLOWED BY A PEN.
THE GUYS IN THE KITCHEN WITNESSED THIS BOOK FLYING OFF THE SHELF.
THEY TURNED AROUND.
YOU SEE THEM LOOKING IN THE SHELF, AND THERE WAS NOTHING TO EXPLAIN HOW THIS HAD HAPPENED.
I WAS IN DISBELIEF.
I COULDN'T BELIEVE THAT SOMETHING LIKE THA HAD OCCURRED, ESPECIALLY ON VIDEO AND THAT IT WAS DOCUMENTED DURING BUSINESS HOURS.
SO, AFTER WE HAD THIS SOLID EVIDENCE OF PARANORMAL ACTIVITY IN THE RESTAURANT, I KNEW THAT LINDA WAS ALREADY INTERESTED AND INVOLVED IN THIS SORT OF PARANORMAL WORLD.
ONCE I SHOWED HER THE SURVEILLANCE FOOTAGE, SHE IMMEDIATELY GO REALLY, REALLY EXCITED.
Silverstein: WHEN I SAW THAT VIDEO, I KNEW THAT WE NEEDED TO GET IN THERE AND FIGURE OU WHAT WAS GOING ON.
UPON ARRIVING AT THE CAT & FIDDLE AFTER HOURS, THE AIR WAS SO THICK THAT IT WAS ACTUALLY PHYSICALLY HARD FOR ME TO BREATHE.
I CAN TELL YOU THIS -- THEY KNEW WE WERE COMING, WHOEVER WAS IN THERE, AND THEY WERE READY FOR US.
Eva: LINDA COULD ALREADY SENSE THAT THE SPIRITS WANTED TO PLAY.
THEY WERE READY FOR SOME ACTION.
WE SET UP VOICE RECORDERS AND HAD SOME HANDHELD CAMERAS.
AND ALREADY, BEFORE LIGHTS WERE OUT, WE ALREADY SAW, ON THE VIDEO MONITOR, ORBS FLYING AROUND.
WE NOTICED A LOT OF THEM COMING FROM THE KITCHEN.
Silverstein: WE SET UP AS FAST AS WE COULD AND STARTED OUR INVESTIGATION IN THE KITCHEN.
WE STARTED SEEING AMAZING THINGS.
WE SAW ONE ORB FLY RIGHT PAST US WITHIN SECONDS OF BEING IN THERE.
BUT THE MOST INTERESTING THING WAS, WE HAD SET UP A K-II METER, AND ONE OF MY FRIENDS WAS FACING I IN THE EXACT DIRECTION WHERE THAT BOOK HAD FALLEN DOWN.
RED, RED, RED WAS ALL WE COULD GET ON THE K-II.
WE TRIED MOVING IT AWAY.
WE CHECKED FOR ELECTRICAL THINGS.
Eva: IT'S ONLY A FOOD-PREP AREA.
THERE'S NO MICROWAVES OR ANYTHING LIKE THA WHERE THE K-II METER WAS SETTING OFF.
Silverstein: NEVER HAVE I SEEN A RED READING LIKE THA THAT WOULD NOT MOVE.
Eva: I DEFINITELY FEEL MY HEAR RACING A LITTLE BIT MORE, AND I CAN DEFINITELY FEEL THE HAIR STAND UP ON MY NECK.
WE IMMEDIATELY THOUGH THAT IT WAS PARANORMAL BECAUSE THERE WAS NO OTHER EXPLANATION.
Silverstein: WHERE THE KITCHEN IS CURRENTLY, IT USED TO BE A WARDROBE DEPARTMENT.
AND THIS WOMAN WHO WORKED IN THE WARDROBE DEPARTMENT -- IT WAS RUMORED THAT SHE WAS A STRUGGLING ACTRESS THAT NEVER MADE IT.
Eva: SHE WAS VERY BITTER THAT WOMEN AROUND HER WERE SUCCESSFUL.
AND I ATTRIBUTE THE NEGATIVE ENERGY HAPPENING IN THE KITCHEN TO THE DISGRUNTLED SPIRI OF THE SEAMSTRESS.
Silverstein: I HAVE NO DOUBT IN MY MIND THAT IS WHO KNOCKED DOWN THE BOOK IN THE KITCHEN.
AT THIS SAME TIME, THERE WAS A CAMERA RUNNING IN THE DINING ROOM.
WHEN WE ACTUALLY REVIEWED THE EVIDENCE, THE DINING ROOM ALSO CAPTURES AN ORB COMING OUT OF THE KITCHEN IN THE EXACT SAME DIRECTION.
Eva: YOU SEE THIS ORB SEEM TO FLY THROUGH THE WALL.
Silverstein: WHEN I SAW THAT VIDEO, I WAS STUNNED.
WE LEAVE THE KITCHEN AND, IMMEDIATELY, WE ALL HAD THIS HEAVY, HEAVY FEELING.
Eva: WE HAD SET UP A CAMERA SPECIFICALLY TO SHOOT A WINDOW THAT WE HAVE IN THE CASABLANCA ROOM, BECAUSE THIS PARTICULAR WINDOW SHAKES AND RATTLES PRETTY MUCH AROUND THE SAME TIME EVERY NIGHT.
WE'VE HAD PEOPLE TAKE A LOOK AT THE WINDOWS, AND NOTHING CAN EXPLAIN THE ACTIVITY.
Silverstein: ALL FOUR OF US, AT THIS TIME, WERE IN THE CASABLANCA ROOM.
WE ALL SAW SOME KIND OF LIGHT-THING HAPPEN.
A LIGHT CREATES IN THE CORNER OF THE WINDOW, CROSSES THE WINDOW, AND THEN DISAPPEARS.
THIS HAPPENS OVER AND OVER AGAIN FOR THREE MINUTES STRAIGH AND THEN NEVER AGAIN FOR THE REST OF THE NIGHT.
Eva: IT'S JUST AN EMPTY COURTYARD ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THIS WINDOW.
THERE'S NOTHING TO EXPLAIN WHAT THAT COULD BE.
Silverstein: MANY YEARS AGO, ONE OF THE REGULARS AT THE CAT & FIDDLE WAS A MOTORCYCLE RIDER.
AND ONE EVENING, HE WAS ON HIS WAY THERE, TRYING TO HIT THE LAST CALL FOR ALCOHOL.
Eva: BUT HE NEVER MADE I BECAUSE HE DIED IN A MOTORCYCLE CRASH RIGHT ON SUNSET BOULEVARD.
AND WE BELIEVE THAT, TO THIS DAY, HE DOESN'T KNOW THAT HE'S DEAD, BECAUSE AROUND THE SAME TIME EVERY NIGHT, HE'S STILL TRYING TO GET IN TO THE PLACE.
Silverstein: HE STANDS BY THE WINDOW OUTSIDE THE CASABLANCA ROOM AND SHAKES IT, BEGGING TO GET IN, BUT HE'S MISSED LAST CALL.
Eva: BUT ASIDE FROM THE SHAKING, I HAD NEVER SEEN ANY OTHER EVIDENCE OF THIS SPIRIT.
Silverstein: I TRULY FEEL THAT THAT LIGHT WAS CREATED BY THE POOR MOTORCYCLE GUY WHO'S STILL TRYING TO GET IN TO THAT BAR FOR LAST CALL.
WHILE WE'RE IN THE CASABLANCA ROOM, WE DECIDE TO USE OUR WHITE-NOISE METER.
IT'S A RADIO SET TO SWITCH FREQUENCIES VERY, VERY QUICKLY.
Eva: THE WHITE-NOISE METER CAPTURES SOMETHING SIMILAR TO AN EVP THAT YOU CAN ACTUALLY HEAR WHEN IT'S HAPPENING.
Silverstein: I WAS SITTING THERE, AND, ALL OF A SUDDEN, I HEAR MY LAST NAME SAID OVER THE WHITE NOISE -- "SILVERSTEIN.
" MY NAME WAS SO CLEARLY SAID.
I ALMOST RAN OUT THE DOOR RIGHT THERE AND THEN.
EVERYONE ELSE HEARD IT.
EVERYONE'S FACES WEN A GREAT SHADE OF WHITE.
Eva: YOU KNOW IT'S DIRECTED AT HER.
Silverstein: I WAS SO SCARED WHEN THIS SPIRIT SINGLED ME OUT.
I REALLY, REALLY FELT UNCOMFORTABLE FOR THE REST OF THE NIGHT.
LATER ON, TOWARDS THE END OF THE EVENING, WE'RE STILL USING THE WHITE-NOISE METER.
THE FIRST WORD WE HEARD WAS AND THEN I SAID, "WHAT LUMPS?" AND THEY SAID AND I SAID, "WHOSE BODY?" AND THEY REPEATED "YOUR BODY.
" HOW THIS GOT TO ME AT THAT POINT IS, I WAS GOING THROUGH A VERY SERIOUS HEALTH SCARE AND I HAD BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH POTENTIAL OF HAVING CANCER.
AND IT WAS A LUMP THAT WAS GROWING IN MY BODY.
I LATER FOUND OUT, THANK GOD, IT WAS NOT CANCEROUS.
BUT AT THAT POINT, THIS REALLY HIT HOME.
FIRST, THEY KNOW MY LAST NAME AND NOW THEY'RE TALKING ABOU A PHYSICAL AILMENT.
Eva: THE FACT THAT SOMETHING WAS ACTUALLY SINGLING HER OUT -- SHE FELT ATTACKED.
Silverstein: IN ADDITION TO THE WHITE-NOISE METER, WE ALSO LEFT SOME DIGITAL AUDIO RECORDERS GOING AS WE WENT THROUGH OTHER PARTS OF THE PUB.
ONE OF THE GIRLS WAS LEAVING THE KITCHEN AND SAID, "WATCH OUT.
THERE'S A STEP.
" IMMEDIATELY, YOU HEAR I HAD NO DOUBT, AT THAT POINT, THAT WAS THE SPIRIT OF MR.
KIM GARDNER TALKING TO US.
Eva: LINDA SEEMS TO THINK THA THIS IS THE SPIRIT OF MY FATHER BECAUSE HE LOVED TO PARROT PEOPLE, IMITATE PEOPLE, AND JUST MAKES JOKES.
AND IT'S APPAREN THAT HE'S STILL GO QUITE THE SENSE OF HUMOR NOW THAT HE'S DEAD.
IT'S VERY INTERESTING TO HAVE EVIDENCE OF VOICES THAT COME FROM BEYOND.
SOMETIMES, IT'S DISCONCERTING FOR ME.
SOMETIMES, IT MAKES ME FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE.
BUT THERE'S OTHER TIMES THAT IT'S ACTUALLY QUITE COMFORTING FOR ME, ESPECIALLY KNOWING THAT THEY COULD BE EVIDENCE OF THE SPIRIT OF MY FATHER STILL HANGING OU AND LOOKING AFTER US.
Silverstein: ALL THE YEARS I'VE SPENT AT THE CAT & FIDDLE ARE VERY JOYFUL MEMORIES, BUT THAT NIGHT, IN NO WAY SHAPE OR FORM, WOULD I CATEGORIZE AS A HAPPY FEELING.
THE THINGS THAT WE SAW AND THE THINGS THAT WE HEARD STILL GIVE ME THE CREEPS.
Eva: THERE'S DEFINITELY A NEGATIVE ENERGY THERE, BUT THERE'S ALSO A POSITIVE ENERGY THAT BALANCES IT OUT.
SPIRITS JUST LINGER EITHER BECAUSE THEY'RE HAPPY THERE OR BECAUSE THEY'RE SAD THERE.
FOR THE REASONS THAT PEOPLE WERE ATTRACTED THERE IN LIFE, THEY ARE STILL LINGERING THERE IN DEATH.
Marino: IN EVERY PICTURE, YOU SEE ORBS.
Barkman: SHE'S SITTING THERE SHAKING AND SAID, "LOOK.
" Marino: THERE'S NO DOUBT IN MY MIND THAT THESE ARE ACTUAL SPIRITS.
Barkman: I HAD GOOSE BUMPS FROM MY HEAD TO MY TOES.
Marino: IN EVERY PICTURE, YOU SEE ORBS.
Barkman: SHE'S SITTING THERE SHAKING AND SAID, "LOOK.
" Marino: I WAS SHOCKED.
Barkman: MY GHOST STORY BEGAN WHEN I MOVED INTO AN APARTMEN WITH MY GIRLFRIEND.
WE MOVED INTO THE APARTMENT WITH HER DAUGHTER, AND IT WAS FINE.
THERE WAS NO ISSUES.
JUST A NORMAL APARTMENT.
Marino: IT'S A VERY SMALL COMPLEX AT THE END OF A ROAD.
AT FIRST, THERE WAS NOTHING ABNORMAL OR WEIRD GOING ON.
ONE NIGHT, I WENT TO LAY DOWN IN BED, AND I JUST HEARD, LIKE, A LITTLE PLINK OF A SOUND.
GOT UP.
SHAUN AND MY DAUGHTER WERE ASLEEP.
I WALKED AROUND THE HOUSE, AND I NOTICED THAT A PAIR OF HEADPHONES THAT HUNG ON MY KEY RACK HAD FALLEN DOWN.
AT THAT POINT, I REALLY DIDN' THINK ANYTHING OF IT.
I WENT BACK INTO MY BEDROOM TO LAY DOWN AND NOTICED THA MY DRESSER DRAWERS WERE OUT.
THAT HAPPENED ABOUT 10 TIMES.
EVERY NIGHT, THE SAME WAY.
THE HEADPHONES COULD HANG THERE ALL DAY.
AS SOON AS I HAD LAID MY HEAD DOWN ON THE PILLOW, INSTANTLY, A DROP.
AND I'D GET UP, I'D PICK UP THE HEADPHONES AND COME BACK IN, AND THE DRAWERS WOULD BE OUT.
ONE NIGHT, I HEARD A BIG BANG.
I KNEW IT WASN'T THE HEADPHONES BECAUSE IT WAS MUCH LOUDER.
AND WALKED AROUND AND NOTICED THAT MY HIPPO TEAPO THAT NORMALLY SITS DIRECTLY ON MY STOVE HAD BEEN COMPLETELY FLIPPED OVER.
I DON'T KNOW HOW TO EXPLAIN THAT.
Barkman: THERE ARE A COUPLE OCCASIONS THAT I HAVE FELT INTERACTIONS WITH THE SPIRITS.
I'VE HAD MY FEET MESSED WITH.
I HAVE FELT THIS PRESSURE.
IT'S ALMOST HARD TO BREATHE, ALMOST AS IF SOMETHING IS PUSHING ON MY CHEST.
Marino: MY DAUGHTER SAID SHE SAW A GIRL FLOATING ON THE CEILING OF HER ROOM.
TRYING TO ASK HER, YOU KNOW, "IS SHE YOUR AGE? IS SHE MOMMY'S AGE? IS SHE GRANDMA'S AGE?" AND SHE SAID SHE WAS ABOUT MY AGE.
AND I ASKED HER, "WHAT COLOR HAIR DOES SHE HAVE?" AND SHE SAID, "MOMMY, SHE'S ALL WHITE.
" IT IS FRIGHTENING TO KNOW THAT YOUR DAUGHTER IS ABLE TO SEE SPIRITS LIKE THIS.
WHAT ARE YOU SUPPOSED TO DO WITH SOMETHING YOU CAN'T SEE? Barkman: AND THEN THAT'S WHEN THINGS REALLY STARTED TO WORRY ME A LOT.
ASHLEY HAD STARTED GETTING UPSET, LITERALLY BROKE DOWN IN TEARS.
Marino: I TOLD MY MOM ONE DAY, AND SHE SAID, "YOU KNOW, WHY DON'T YOU GO AND SEE A MEDIUM?" I WAS VERY SKEPTICAL OF MEDIUMS, BUT I SAID, "OKAY.
" WHEN I MET WITH HER, SHE KNEW A LO OF VERY PERSONAL INFORMATION.
SHE BROUGHT UP A FRIEND WHO I HAD A FALLING-OUT WITH THE YEAR PREVIOUS.
MY FRIEND AND I, WE WERE PRETTY CLOSE.
SHE LIVED WITH ME FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME.
WE HAD A FALLING-OUT, AND ABOUT TWO WEEKS LATER, SHE PASSED AWAY IN A CAR ACCIDENT.
[ TIRES SCREECH .]
THE MEDIUM SAID TO ME, "SHE'S COMING TO YOU NOW TO LE YOU KNOW THAT SHE'S TRULY SORRY, AND SHE DOESN'T WAN WHAT HAPPENED TO DICTATE YOUR FUTURE RELATIONSHIPS OR FEELINGS TOWARDS ANYBODY ELSE.
" MY REACTION TO EVERYTHING THA THE MEDIUM HAD SAID WAS SHOCKED, TO SAY THE LEAST.
AFTER MEETING WITH THE MEDIUM, SHAUN AND I STAYED UP DISCUSSING EVERYTHING THAT THE MEDIUM HAD SAID.
Barkman: I WAS SKEPTICAL ABOUT ANYTHING IN GENERAL AS FAR AS PARANORMAL AND MEDIUMS AND STUFF LIKE THAT.
BUT AFTER TALKING TO THE MEDIUM, SHE TOLD ME THE STORY.
IT BECAME VERY EERIE.
Marino: SHAUN ENCOURAGED ME TO TAKE HIS PHONE AND SET IT UP IN THE BEDROOM TO SEE IF ANYTHING ELSE HAPPENED.
I HAD PUT IT UP AGAINST THE WALL IN THE CORNER OF THE ROOM AND WALKED AROUND MY BED AND THEN OUT INTO THE LIVING ROOM.
ABOUT 45 MINUTES LATER, I COME BACK INTO THE BEDROOM TO GET THE PHONE TO SEE IF WE CAUGHT ANYTHING.
Barkman: I HEARD A LOUD SCREAM FROM THE BEDROOM.
AND I WALKED INTO THE BEDROOM, AND SHE'S SITTING THERE SHAKING WITH MY PHONE AND SAID, "LOOK.
" THE SHEETS WERE MOVING WITHIN FIVE MINUTES OF THE VIDEO.
Marino: IT WASN'T UNTIL WE HAD AMPLIFIED THE SOUND THAT WE HAD ACTUALLY HEARD THE SHADOW, AS IT COMES OU OF THE BOTTOM OF THE SHEETS, MAKE A LOUD BANG.
[ THUD .]
Barkman: I HAD GOOSE BUMPS FROM MY HEAD TO MY TOES.
[ THUD .]
Marino: THE FIRST VIDEO OF THE SHEETS MOVING TRIGGERED OUR CURIOSITY.
WE DECIDED TO JUST START SNAPPING PICTURES AROUND THE HOUSE, AND IN EVERY PICTURE, YOU SEE ORBS.
YOU COULD TAKE FIVE PICTURES STANDING IN THE SAME SPOT, AND THE ORB WILL BE MOVING.
THAT GAVE US BOTH GOOSE BUMPS.
Barkman: I COULDN'T BELIEVE IT, AND I WAS IN SHOCK.
Marino: THERE'S NO DOUBT IN MY MIND THAT THESE ARE ACTUAL SPIRITS.
Barkman: THE ACTIVITY IN THE HOUSE HAS BEEN GETTING PROGRESSIVELY WORSE.
Marino: I WAS LAYING IN BED ONE NIGHT WITH MY PHONE, AND AT FIRST, THERE WAS REALLY NO ACTIVITY.
AND IT SEEMED LIKE WHEN I STARTED TALKING TO THEM, IT WAS ALMOST AS IF THEY RESPONDED.
I COULDN'T BELIEVE WHAT I WAS SEEING.
I WAS SHOCKED.
ANYTIME I ASKED A QUESTION, MORE ORBS STARTED APPEARING AND COMING TOWARDS THE CAMERA.
Barkman: AFTER SEEING THAT VIDEO, I'M 100% SURE THAT THIS IS ASHLEY'S FRIEND.
Marino: THE MEDIUM SAID MY OLD FRIEND IS TRYING TO CONTACT ME, AND I FEEL LIKE SHE IS THERE.
THE ACTIVITY IS STILL HAPPENING IN OUR HOME.
IT'S NEW THINGS EVERY DAY.
Barkman: I'VE LOS QUITE A FEW NIGHTS OF SLEEP, AND IT'S JUST VERY FRUSTRATING.
AND I'M DONE.
YOU KNOW, I JUST WANT TO GET OUT OF HERE.
[ THUD .]
Marino: I BELIEVE IF I MOVED THAT THE SPIRIT OF MY FRIEND COULD POSSIBLY FOLLOW ME.
Barkman: YEAH, I MEAN, I'M OPEN-MINDED, BUT DID I THINK THA WAS GONNA EVER HAPPEN TO ME? NO, ABSOLUTELY NOT.
Marino: THERE'S NOTHING LIKE THE FEELING OF KNOWING THAT THERE'S SOMEBODY RIGHT THERE NEXT TO YOU THAT YOU CAN'T SEE.
Graham: THE SPIRIT OF THOMAS BUSBY IS KNOWN TO BE A BULLY.
IN THE FIRST 10 MINUTES, PARANORMAL ACTIVITY STARTED HAPPENING.
Baxter: ONE OF THE WOMEN HAD BEEN PHYSICALLY PUSHED.
SHE STAGGERED AND THEN WENT DOWN.
Graham: "WHAT A NASTY NIGH IT'S GOING TO BE TONIGHT.
" Graham: IN THE FIRST 10 MINUTES, PARANORMAL ACTIVITY STARTED HAPPENING.
Baxter: ONE OF THE WOMEN HAD BEEN PUSHED.
SHE STAGGERED AND THEN WENT DOWN.
Graham: "WHAT A NASTY NIGH IT'S GOING TO BE TONIGHT.
" MY GHOST STORY BEGAN WHEN I WENT TO THE BUSBY STOOP IN THIRSK, NORTH YORKSHIRE, ENGLAND.
I'M A STAGE HYPNOTIST, AND I'M ALSO A PARANORMAL INVESTIGATOR.
Baxter: I MET ANDREW THROUGH A GHOST-HUNTING TEAM.
HE WAS DOING GHOST HUNTS, AND I WENT ALONG.
IT WAS FANTASTIC, REALLY ENJOYED IT, AND I ASKED IF I COULD BE PART OF HIS TEAM.
Graham: AS A PARANORMAL INVESTIGATOR, I'VE OBVIOUSLY HEARD OF OTHER TEAMS GOING TO THE BUSBY STOOP AND THE AMOUNT OF ACTIVITY THEY'VE HAD FROM THERE, SO I WANTED TO SEE FOR MESELF.
WE DID HAVE LOTS OF CAMERAS, K-II METERS, EMF METERS, LITTLE AUDIO DEVICES.
WE JUST WANTED TO CATCH SOME PANORMAL ACTIVITY ON-CAMERA.
I'VE BEEN THERE THREE TIMES NOW, AND EACH TIME, IT'S BEEN AN AMAZING PLACE TO INVESTIGATE.
[ CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS, METER BEEPING .]
THE BUSBY STOOP INN GOES BACK TO 1702, WHEN THOMAS BUSBY WAS ACTUALLY EXECUTED FOR MURDERING HIS FATHER-IN-LAW.
Baxter: AFTER HE GOT CAUGHT, THOMAS BUSBY WAS HUNG AND PUT IN A METAL CAGE.
Graham: IT'S BELIEVED THAT WHEN THAT HAPPENS, THE SPIRIT CAN NEVER SETTLE.
THOMAS BUSBY HAD A FAVORITE CHAIR IN THE PUB, AND AS HE WAS LED TO THE GALLOWS, HE PUT A CURSE ON THE CHAIR, SAYING IF ANYBODY SHOULD EVER SIT IN HIS CHAIR, THEY WOULD MEET A CERTAIN DEATH.
Baxter: THE CHAIR USED TO BE IN THE BUSBY STOOP INN, AND PEOPLE WHO CAME IN USED TO SIT ON IT.
AND MAYBE A FEW WEEKS OR MONTHS LATER, THAT PERSON WHO SAT ON IT DIED.
Graham: IF IT'S BY A TRAFFIC ACCIDENT OR HEART ATTACK, IN ONE WAY OR THE OTHER, LOTS OF PEOPLE HAVE MET DEATH.
Baxter: THE MYTH IS THAT IT WAS CAUSED BY THE CURSE OF THE CHAIR.
Graham: THE CHAIR'S ACTUALLY BEEN REMOVED FROM THE PUB FOR HEALTH AND SAFETY REASONS NOW.
IT'S ACTUALLY BEEN PU ON THE WALL IN THE THIRSK MUSEUM TO STOP PEOPLE SITTING ON IT.
THE SPIRIT OF THOMAS BUSBY IS KNOWN TO BE A BULLY AND ESPECIALLY TOWARDS WOMEN.
Baxter: I'VE HAD SOME PERSONAL EXPERIENCES MYSELF.
I HAVE HAD MY T-SHIRT PULLED.
THERE'S BEEN NOBODY BEHIND ME.
I, MYSELF, HAVE BEEN PUNCHED IN THE KIDNEY.
THE ACTUAL HIT TO THE KIDNEY WAS VERY, VERY PAINFUL.
AND I WHIPPED MY HEAD 'ROUND TO SEE WHO WAS THERE.
THERE WAS A TEAM MEMBER THERE, BUT HE WAS OUT OF ARM'S REACH.
HE WOULDN'T HAVE TOUCHED ME.
I BELIEVE I WAS STRUCK BY THE SPIRIT OF THOMAS BUSBY.
HE'S NOT A NICE SPIRIT.
Graham: WE VISITED BUSBY STOOP IN MARCH, DOING A PARANORMAL INVESTIGATION THERE.
NEXT TO THE BUSBY STOOP INN, THERE'S ACTUALLY A BARN, AND THIS SEEMS TO BE WHERE THOMAS BUSBY HANGS OUT THE MOST.
THAT'S WHERE WE GE THE MOST ACTIVITY OF HIM.
Baxter: THE FIRST GROUP WENT INTO THE BARN, WHICH WAS ANDREW'S GROUP, AND THE GROUP I WAS IN WENT UPSTAIRS IN THE INN.
Graham: WITHIN THE FIRS 10 MINUTES OF ENTERING THE BARN, PARANORMAL ACTIVITY STARTED HAPPENING.
THE PEOPLE IN THE BARN DIDN'T BELIEVE IN SPIRI OR DIDN'T BELIEVE IN GHOSTS OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.
SO, WE'RE LAUGHING 'CAUSE WE'RE NERVOUS, AND WE'RE CARRYING ON A LITTLE BIT.
WE DIDN'T QUITE BELIEVE ANYTHING WAS GOING TO HAPPEN.
[ LAUGHTER .]
I WAS PROVOKING THE SPIRITS BECAUSE I JUST WANTED TO GET SOME ACTIVITY, BUT I DIDN'T IMAGINE WE'D GE WHAT WE ACTUALLY DID GET.
I COULD SENSE SOMETHING IN THE BARN WITH ME, SO I SHOUTED OUT AND, IMMEDIATELY, ONE OF THE ELDER LADIES ACTUALLY GOT PUSHED IN THE BACK AT SUCH A FORCE, SHE CRASHED INTO A TABLE, KNOCKING THE GLASS TO THE FLOOR.
[ WOMEN SCREAMING .]
WHEN SHE GOT PUSHED, I THOUGHT, "OH, MY GOD.
WHAT A NASTY NIGH IT'S GOING TO BE TONIGHT.
" Baxter: I WAS FRIGHTENED WHEN I HEARD THE SCREAMING.
I GOT ON THE RADIO TO ANDREW TO SEE WHAT WAS GOING ON.
HE SAID THAT ONE OF THE WOMEN HAD BEEN PHYSICALLY PUSHED BY THE SPIRIT OF THOMAS BUSBY INTO THE TABLE, AND THEN THEY RAN OUT, SCREAMING.
Graham: THE LADY -- ONCE WE GOT OUT OF THE BARN, WE ACTUALLY INTERVIEWED HER.
AND SHE LIT A CIGARETTE, AND SHE WAS PHYSICALLY SHAKING.
Baxter: WHEN I WAS VIEWING THE FOOTAGE, IT WAS VERY SCARY.
I DON'T KNOW HOW THE WOMAN COULD EVEN GO BACK IN THE BARN AFTER IT HAPPENED.
I WOULDN'T HAVE.
Graham: I WAS CALM ON THE OUTSIDE -- OBVIOUSLY, I HAD GUESTS THERE -- BUT INSIDE, I WAS ACTUALLY QUITE FRIGHTENED.
GETTING THAT AMOUNT OF ACTIVITY WITHIN THE FIRST 10 MINUTES OF AN INVESTIGATION, IT WAS QUITE SHOCKING.
I'VE NEVER HAD THAT BEFORE.
WE DID TRY TO RE-CREATE THAT MOVEMENT SEVERAL TIMES, AND IT'S NOT POSSIBLE TO DO I UNLESS SOMEBODY'S ACTUALLY PUSHING YOU BACK.
THERE'S NO DOUBT IN MY MIND THAT THE SPIRI THAT ACTUALLY PUSHED THE LADY WAS THOMAS BUSBY.
AFTER EVERYBODY REGAINED THEIR COMPOSURE, WE ACTUALLY SET A K-II METER UP, AND WE ASKED THOMAS TO INTERAC WITH THE K-II METER.
"IS THIS THE SPIRIT OF THOMAS?" THE K-II METER WOULD LIGHT UP.
YOU CAN CLEARLY HEAR THE WORDS "YES.
" THE K-II METER STARTED FLASHING.
I DON'T THINK THE SPIRI THAT ACTUALLY REPLIED TO THE EVP WAS A VERY FRIENDLY SPIRIT.
I'M CONVINCED I WAS COMMUNICATING WITH THOMAS BUSBY.
Baxter: WHEN IT WAS OUR TURN TO GO IN THE BARN, I REALLY DIDN'T WANT TO GO IN.
I STOOD OUTSIDE, SHAKING.
BUT, WITH ME BEING A TEAM MEMBER, I'M SUPPOSED TO AC REALLY BIG AND BRAVE.
I WAS SHAKING REALLY BAD, BUT I HAD TO GO IN.
I HAD TO TAKE MY GROUP IN TO DO THE GLASSWARE FOR PROOF THAT THOMAS BUSBY WAS THERE.
Graham: HOW WE DEFINE GLASSWORK IS, IT'S SIMILAR TO A OUIJA BOARD, BUT WE DON'T USE A OUIJA BOARD.
WE USE NO LETTERS OR NUMBERS.
WE LITERALLY HAVE AN UPSIDE-DOWN GLASS, AND WE ASK THE GUESTS TO PU THEIR FINGERS ON THE GLASS, AND WE ASK THE SPIRI TO ACTUALLY MOVE THE GLASS IN A PARTICULAR DIRECTION FOR "YES" AND A DIFFERENT DIRECTION FOR "NO.
" Baxter: WE WERE ACTUALLY DOING THE GLASSWORK, GETTING RESPONSES "YES" AND "NO.
" I WAS SO ON EDGE, THE HAIRS ON THE BACK OF MY NECK WERE UP.
I FELT SICK.
WE COULD HEAR THINGS MOVING, BUT WE COULDN'T SEE.
THE MEDIUM THAT WAS WITH US, SUZY -- SHE WAS FINE.
EVERYTHING WAS FINE.
SHE WAS TALKING WITH US.
THEN SHE WEN REALLY, REALLY QUIET.
AND WE WERE ASKING IF SHE WAS OKAY.
SHE HAD SUCH A BLANK, EERIE EXPRESSION ON HER FACE.
AND A GUEST SAID, "I'VE JUS SEEN A SHADOW BEHIND SUZY.
" THEN, NOT EVEN 30 SECONDS LATER, SHE JUST STARTED STAGGERING AND SHE FELL.
OH! SOMETHING FORCED HER DOWN ON THE FLOOR.
IT WAS HORRENDOUS.
SHE STAGGERED AND THEN WENT DOWN.
BUT IT DIDN'T ACTUALLY SEEM TO BE SUZY.
Graham: WHEN I WATCHED I ON TAPE, IT WAS CLEAR THAT SUZY WAS ACTUALLY IN A TRANCE AND WAS COMMUNICATING QUITE DEEPLY WITH SPIRITS BEFORE SHE ACTUALLY COLLAPSED ON THE FLOOR.
THE PEOPLE AROUND HER WERE CONCERNED ABOUT HER AND WERE SHOUTING HER NAME, AND THEY HELPED HER TO HER FEET.
THE ONLY RECOLLECTION SUZY HAD OF THE INCIDEN WAS SHE FELT LIKE SHE WAS STRUCK ON THE BACK OF THE HEAD.
Baxter: I WOULD SAY THAT THOMAS BUSBY WAS TRYING TO TAKE OVER HER BODY TO COMMUNICATE AND MAYBE TO WARN US OFF, TO GET OUT.
Graham: I BELIEVE THA THOMAS BUSBY IS SUCH A BULLY BECAUSE OF THE WAY HE WAS ACTUALLY EXECUTED, WHICH WAS BY HANGING, THEN COVERED IN TAR AND PUT IN A STEEL CAGE.
I RECKON THAT'S WHAT'S MADE HIM SO ANGRY.
BUT HE WAS NOTED TO BE A BULLY BEFORE HE WAS ACTUALLY EXECUTED, AS WELL.
Baxter: MYSELF AND THE REST OF MY TEAMMATES WILL NEVER FORGET THAT NIGHT.
IT WAS HORRENDOUS AND VERY, VERY FRIGHTENING.
Woman 1: SUZY? Baxter: SUZY! OH! I HATE THE PLACE.
I REALLY HATE THE PLACE, AND IT MAKES ME ILL AT THE THOUGHT OF, IF I HAD TO GO BACK THERE, WHAT ELSE WOULD HE DO? IN THE SPIRIT WORLD, I DO BELIEVE THAT THERE IS GOOD SPIRITS AND THERE IS NASTY SPIRITS, AND THOMAS BUSBY IS A NASTY SPIRIT.
Graham: THE BUSBY STOOP INN CERTAINLY HAS PROVIDED ME WITH PLENTY OF EVIDENCE THAT THERE IS AN AFTERLIFE, THERE IS SOMETHING OUT THERE ONCE YOUR BODY DIES.
Pitts: I NEVER THOUGHT, IN A MILLION YEARS, WE'D CAPTURE WHAT WE GOT.
Fuston: IAN WAS SHOCKED BY SOMETHING.
Pitts: I KNEW WHATEVER WAS THERE WAS INTELLIGENT.
Fuston: YOU CAN SEE HER FACE STARING BACK AT ME.
Pitts: THERE'S NO NECK.
THE NECK'S MISSING.
I WAS BLOWN AWAY.
Pitts: I NEVER THOUGH WE'D CAPTURE WHAT WE GOT.
Fuston: IAN WAS SHOCKED BY SOMETHING.
YOU CAN SEE HER FACE STARING BACK AT ME.
Pitts: I WAS BLOWN AWAY.
MY GHOST STORY BEGAN WHEN I CHECKED IN TO THE MOUNTAIN VIEW LODGE IN CORBIN, KENTUCKY.
GROWING UP, WE'D HEARD ABOU THE MOUNTAIN VIEW LODGE BEING A LOCATION THAT WAS KNOWN TO BE HAUNTED.
PEOPLE ON THE SCHOOL BUS WOULD TALK ABOUT IT.
WE HAD ALWAYS HEARD STORIES ABOUT IT.
Fuston: IAN IS MY YOUNGER BROTHER, AND WE HAVE LIVED IN CORBIN FOR 25 YEARS OR MORE.
WHEN WE REALLY GOT INTO BEING A TEAM AND DOING PARANORMAL INVESTIGATIONS, THIS PLACE CAME TO MIND RIGHT AWAY BECAUSE OF ALL THE STORIES THAT WE'D HEARD GROWING UP.
I TRIED TO DO AS MUCH RESEARCH AS I COULD ON THE PROPERTY AND THE BUILDING.
I COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WHATSOEVER.
AROUND TOWN, IT'S RUMORED THAT THERE WAS A BUILDING THERE THAT, WHENEVER THEY WERE OVERBOOKED, HOUSED MENTAL PATIENTS FROM A HOSPITAL THAT WAS DOWN THE STREET.
SO WE CONTACTED THE MANAGER AND ASKED IF IT WAS OKAY WE COME IN TO INVESTIGATE WITH OUR TEAM.
Pitts: ONE OF THE STORIES THAT THE MANAGER OF THE HOTEL TOLD US ABOU WAS SHE HAD HIRED A CONSTRUCTION CREW TO COME IN AND DO SOME OF THE RENOVATIONS.
ONE OF THE GUYS ON THE CONSTRUCTION CREW CAME UP AND SAID, "I DIDN'T KNOW YOU'D HIRED ANY MAIDS YET.
" AND SHE SAID, "WE HADN'T.
" AND HE SAID, "WELL, I JUST HAD A FIVE-MINUTE CONVERSATION WITH ONE.
" HE SAID THAT SHE WAS A BRUNETTE WOMAN IN A MAID'S UNIFORM AND HE HAD HAD A CONVERSATION WITH HER.
BECAUSE OF THE STORIES THAT WE'D HEARD ABOUT THE LODGE, WE DECIDED, "LET'S GO BOOK A ROOM.
LET'S CHECK IT OUT.
" WHEN YOU'RE DRIVING UP THE HILL TO THE HOTEL, AROUND EVERY CURVE, THE BUILDING GETS CLOSER AND CLOSER AND CLOSER.
AND THEN WHEN YOU FINALLY PULL UP, YOU THINK, "WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN TO ME WHEN I COME IN HERE?" GOING IN TO THE LODGE, I DIDN'T EXPECT TO CAPTURE MUCH.
I NEVER THOUGHT, IN A MILLION YEARS, WE'D CAPTURE WHAT WE GOT.
WHEN YOU FIRST WALK IN THE HOTEL, IT'S THE FRONT DESK, AND THEY'VE GO THIS SCARY-LOOKING LITTLE LION STATUETTE THERE.
THEN WHEN YOU ROUND THE CURVE, YOU GET INTO THESE LONG HALLWAYS, AND THE FIRST THING THAT COMES TO MIND WHEN YOU SEE THESE HALLWAYS IS, "I HAVE JUST ENTERED THE BUILDING OF 'THE SHINING.
'" Fuston: WHEN WE FIRST ARRIVED, WE RENTED A ROOM AND WE TOOK ALL OF OUR EQUIPMEN IN.
THEN WE WENT BACK AND TALKED TO THE MANAGER, AND SHE WAS VERY NICE AND GAVE US THE KEYS TO WHATEVER WE ASKED FOR.
Pitts: THE THIRD WING OF THE HOTEL HAS BEEN CLOSED SINCE THEY REOPENED AS THE MOUNTAIN VIEW LODGE.
IT'S KIND OF DARK AND A LITTLE DISTURBING WHEN YOU FIRST WALK IN THERE.
Fuston: I CALL IT "THE CREEPY HALLWAY.
" THERE'S NO LIGHTS BACK THERE.
IT'S TOTAL DARKNESS.
WE THOUGHT WE WERE SEEING SHADOW PLAY AT THE END OF THE HALL.
AND I ASKED, "DID YOU SEE THAT?" AND, IMMEDIATELY, ON THE RECORDER, AFTER I SAY THAT, YOU HEAR A VOICE SAY "DOWN HERE," LIKE IT'S SAYING, "HERE I AM DOWN RE.
" Pitts: TO CAPTURE THAT CREEPY VOICE THAT SAYS "DOWN HERE" REALLY SPOOKED ME QUITE A BIT.
Fuston: WITHOUT A DOUBT, THAT WAS DEFINITELY SOMETHING PARANORMAL.
IT WAS TRYING TO LET US SEE IT, AND THEN IT LET US HEAR IT.
Pitts: AFTER WE HAD CAUGH THE INITIAL EVP, WE HAD WALKED DOWN THE HALLWAY TO THE END AND WERE CHECKING OU DIFFERENT ROOMS.
Fuston: THE DOOR WASN'T LOCKED.
IT WASN'T COMPLETELY SHUT.
Pitts: SO WE OPENED THIS DOOR, AND YOU CAN HEAR THE DOOR CREAK ON THE RECORDING.
[ DOOR CREAKS .]
WHEN I LISTENED BACK TO THAT, I KNEW WHATEVER WAS THERE WAS INTELLIGENT.
IT WAS INVITING US TO COME IN TO THE ROOM.
[ DOOR CREAKS .]
IT SOUNDS LIKE A FEMALE VOICE SAYING, "COME IN.
" [ DOOR CREAKS .]
I THINK IT'S JUST WANTING TO INTERACT WITH US AND LET US KNOW, "HEY, I'M RIGHT HERE.
I'M WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING FOR.
IT'S ME.
" Fuston: LATER ON, OUR TEAM CAME OUT, AND THEY WERE DOING AN EVP SESSION.
ONE OF MY INVESTIGATORS STARTED SMELLING COCONUT, SO IMMEDIATELY WHEN SHE SAID THAT, THEN I STARTED SNAPPING PICTURES OVER BY HER.
IN THE PICTURES WAS AN ORANGE FORM.
Pitts: EVERY TIME THAT SOMEONE SAID, "I SMELL COCONUT," THE ORANGE MASS IN THE PICTURE.
Fuston: AND WHEN THE SMELL WASN'T THERE, NEITHER WAS THE ORANGE MIST.
WHATEVER THAT SMELL IS, IF WE DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS, THIS SPIRIT DOES.
IT'S SIGNIFICANT TO THEM, AND MAYBE THAT'S HOW THEY'RE TRYING TO COMMUNICATE WITH US.
Pitts: A FEW HOURS LATER, CHARLEE AND LORETTA WERE IN ROOM 262.
AND CHARLEE WAS SETTING UP A NIGHT-VISION CAMERA ON THE TABLE, AND THEY WERE JUST GOING TO LEAVE IT IN THERE.
ON THE WAY OUT, LORETTA SNAPPED A PICTURE.
LORETTA WAS LIKE, "OH, MY GOD.
YOU GUYS HAVE GOT TO LOOK AT THIS.
" WE ALL TOOK A LOOK AT IT, AND WE WERE TOTALLY BLOWN AWAY BECAUSE WHAT WAS IN FRONT OF US WAS A ROOM THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE EMPTY, AND HERE IS A SILHOUETTE OF A WOMAN APPEARING TO BE A MAID.
Fuston: IT LOOKS LIKE A FEMALE WITH HER BACK TO THE CAMERA.
SHE HAS HER HAIR UP.
SHE'S VERY SLENDER, ALL IN BLACK, ALMOST LIKE MAYBE AN OLDER MAID'S UNIFORM.
Pitts: BUT THE CREEPIEST THING ABOUT IT WAS WAS THERE'S THE SHOULDERS, THE TORSO, THE HEAD, BUT THERE'S NO NECK.
THE NECK'S MISSING.
I WAS TOTALLY SHOCKED.
WHY IS THERE NO NECK THERE? Fuston: I BELIEVE IT COULD BE THE MAID THAT HAS BEEN SEEN THERE.
Pitts: I THINK IT HAS TO BE THE SAME MAID.
Fuston: WE WERE DOING AN EVP SESSION IN THE HALLWAY DIRECTLY OUTSIDE OF THE ROOM WHERE WE CAPTURED THE APPARITION.
BEHIND ME ARE THE DOUBLE DOORS TO THE THIRD WING.
WHEN I ASK, "CAN YOU GIVE ME A SIGN OF YOUR PRESENCE?," THERE WAS A HUGE BANG ON THE DOOR RIGHT BEHIND ME.
AS SOON AS THAT HAPPENED, I TURNED AROUND AND STARTED SNAPPING PICTURES THROUGH THE WINDOW.
THE VERY FIRST PICTURE THA I SNAPPED, I GOTHE APPARITION.
Pitts: I LOOKED AT IT.
I COULDN'T EXPLAIN IT.
Fuston: TO ME, IT LOOKS LIKE A FEMALE.
IN THE PHOTO, YOU CAN SEE HER FACE STARING BACK AT ME.
SHE HAS DARK HAIR.
I TOOK A FEW MORE PICTURES TO SEE IF I COULD CAPTURE IT AGAIN, BUT SHE WAS GONE.
Pitts: I WAS BLOWN AWAY.
THERE'S SOMETHING THERE THAT'S NOT IN THERE IN THE SECOND PHOTOGRAPH.
IT HAS TO BE SOMETHING THA COULD DISAPPEAR JUST LIKE THAT.
[ CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS .]
Fuston: BECAUSE BOTH PICTURES WITH THE APPARITION AND THE EVP OF THE FEMALE VOICE ALL OF THAT WE CAPTURED COULD DEFINITELY BE THE MAID THAT WAS REPORTED TO BE SEEN IN THE HALLWAY THERE.
Pitts: I THINK SHE JUST LINGERS THERE 'CAUSE SHE'S TRYING TO GIVE SOMEBODY A MESSAGE.
Fuston: FOR SOME REASON, SHE HAS SOME KIND OF CONNECTION TO THIS PLACE, AND THAT'S WHY SHE'S STILL ROAMING THE HALLS THERE.
Pitts: WE INVESTIGATED A FEW MORE HOURS, AND WE DECIDED TO CALL IT A NIGHT.
Fuston: AFTER REVIEWING ALL OF OUR EVIDENCE, WE DID GO BACK TO THE HOTEL AND HAVE A MEETING WITH THE HOTEL MANAGER.
WE SAT HER DOWN AND SHOWED HER OUR PICTURES AND LET HER LISTEN TO OUR EVPs, AND SHE WAS COMPLETELY SHOCKED BY WHAT WE CAPTURED THERE.
Pitts: AFTER CAPTURING THE EVPs THAT WE CAPTURED AT THE MOUNTAIN VIEW LODGE YOU ADD THE PHOTOGRAPHS TO IT, I'M ABSOLUTELY CONVINCED THAT THE MOUNTAIN VIEW LODGE IS HAUNTED.
" Marino: YOU HEAR FOOTSTEPS GOING ACROSS THE FLOOR.
I WAS TERRIFIED.
Graham: ONE OF THE ELDER LADIES ACTUALLY GOT PUSHED, AND SHE CRASHED INTO A TABLE, KNOCKING THE GLASS TO THE FLOOR.
[ WOMEN SCREAMING .]
I THOUGHT, "OH, MY GOD.
WHAT A NASTY NIGH IT'S GOING TO BE TONIGHT.
" Rogers: AS SOON AS WE ALL NOTICED THIS, THE ENTITY FLASHED UP INTO THE CEILING AND DISAPPEARED INTO A BIG BLACK MIST.
Eva: THE SPIRITS WANTED TO PLAY.
Silverstein: WHATEVER WAS IN THERE KNEW WE WERE COMING, AND THEY WERE READY FOR US.
WE SAW ONE ORB FLY WITHIN SECONDS OF BEING IN THERE.
I KNEW THAT WE NEEDED TO GET IN THERE AND FIGURE OU WHAT WAS GOING ON.
Pitts: HERE IS A SILHOUETTE OF A WOMAN APPEARING TO BE A MAID.
Fuston: IT LOOKS LIKE A FEMALE WITH HER BACK TO THE CAMERA.
Pitts: THE CREEPIEST THING ABOUT IT WAS, THERE'S NO NECK.
Salazar: I REMEMBER HEARING FOOTSTEPS COMING DOWN THE HALLWAY AND I HEAR THIS REALLY DEEP VOICE SAY, "I HATE YOU!" Rogers: MY GHOST STORY BEGAN WHEN I STARTED WORKING AT VICTORIA'S BLACK SWAN INN IN SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS.
MY FIRST IMPRESSION DRIVING UP TO THE BLACK SWAN INN WAS THE GRAND BEAUTY OF THE PLACE.
BUT UPON GETTING OUT OF THE CAR, YOU COULD FEEL A HEAVINESS, A THICKNESS IN THE AIR.
IT ALMOST FELT LIKE THERE WERE EYES WATCHING YOU FROM ALL DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS.
IN 2008, I STARTED WORKING AS A TOUR GUIDE AT VICTORIA'S BLACK SWAN INN.
ALL OF THIS LAND YOU SEE HERE WAS NATIVE AMERICAN LAND.
AT THE TIME, I KNEW A BIT OF THE HISTORY FROM SOME BOOKS THAT I HAD READ.
IT WAS NATIVE AMERICAN GROUND FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS.
ON TOP OF THAT, THE MAHLER FAMILY, GERMAN IMMIGRANTS, BUILT THAT HOME IN 1868.
IT IS WHERE HEINRICH, OR HENRY, MAHLER BUILT HIS AWARD-WINNING JERSEY CREAMERY DAIRY FARM.
THE FORMER TOUR GUIDE USED TO HEAR HIS FOOTSTEPS AND SAID THAT HE HAD ACTUALLY SEEN HIM.
UPON STARTING AS A TOUR GUIDE THERE, ONE OF THE FIRST GROUPS THAT I TOOK THROUGH EXPERIENCED SOMETHING IN THE MILK BARN.
THERE WAS A DOOR THAT SEEMED TO BE OPENING AND CLOSING UPON DEMAND.
IT SCARED ME SO MUCH.
SO AFTER THAT HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES, WE WALKED RIGHT UP TO THE DOOR, AND IN MY RIGHT EAR, VERY LOUD, A DEEP, GRAVELY, RASPY VOICE, WHERE I COULD ACTUALLY FEEL THE BREATH ON MY EAR SAID, "NO!" AS BRAVE AS I THOUGHT I WAS, MY INSTANT REACTION WAS JUS TO CLOSE MY EYES AND FREEZE.
I WAS TERRIFIED.
AND I HAD TO SCREAM FOR THE BIGGEST MAN TO COME BACK AND RESCUE ME.
THE MILK BARN SEEMS TO BE A HOT SPOT, AND IT'S NOT VERY NICE.
AT ONE POINT, WE WERE SITTING IN A SESSION AND I SAW A PINPOINT OF LIGHT.
I LEANED FORWARD TO POINT AT IT, AND THE CHAIR THAT I HAD BEEN SITTING IN YANKED OUT FROM UNDER ME AND SLAMMED INTO A METAL TABLE.
IT SCARED THE BEJESUS OUT OF ME.
AT THAT POINT, I HAD TO LEAVE THE BARN BECAUSE I HAD BEEN SHAKEN SO MUCH.
DURING ONE PARTICULAR TOUR GROUP, I WAS SITTING ON THE BED AND I FELT A VERY COLD SPOT ON MY LEG.
SO I TOOK A PHOTOGRAPH OF IT.
AND AS I CONTINUED TO PHOTOGRAPH ACROSS THE ROOM, A BIG BLACK SHAPE WAS MOVING FROM WHERE I WAS INTO THE BATHROOM.
YOU CAN SEE A PHOTOGRAPH OF I ACTUALLY GOING THROUGH THE BATHROOM DOOR.
I REALIZED WHAT I HAD JUST FEL ON THAT BED WAS NOT JUST A DRAFT, BUT IT WAS A SPIRIT LEADING ME TO TAKE PHOTOGRAPHS FROM ONE SIDE OF THE ROOM TO THE OTHER.
I WAS COMPLETELY SHOCKED.
VICTOR AND HIS WIFE WON A CONTES THROUGH A LOCAL RADIO STATION FOR AN OVERNIGHT INVESTIGATION.
HI.
I'M ANGELKA.
Salazar: WE WERE JUST FASCINATED WITH THE PLACE.
IT BEING BUILT UPON NATIVE AMERICAN GROUND.
THERE WAS JUS SOMETHING ALLURING ABOUT IT.
THE FIRST EXPERIENCE I REMEMBER WAS WHEN I'M TALKING INTO MY RECORDER WALKING DOWN THE FLAGSTONES TO THE GAZEBO.
I FELT KIND OF ODD, AND THIS COLD SPOT JUST CAME OVER ME.
I STOPPED THE RECORDER AND UPON PLAYBACK, I HEAR THIS REALLY DEEP, GUTTURAL VOICE SAY "I HATE YOU!" I JUST LITERALLY FROZE.
IT COULD HAVE BEEN HEINRICH.
THAT'S HIS PLACE.
THAT'S HIS DOMAIN.
THERE WAS JUS THIS CONFLICT OF FEAR BECAUSE IT SEEMS THAT HE WOULD RATHER NOT HAVE US THERE.
I WAS COMPLETELY FLOORED.
THAT NIGHT WE WERE STAYING IN THE GROOM'S ROOM.
WE HAD ALWAYS HEARD THAT THE GROOM ROOM WAS VERY ACTIVE.
NOBODY LIKED TO STAY THERE.
NOBODY COULD ACTUALLY STAY A FULL NIGHT THERE BECAUSE IT WAS TOO NOISY.
THEY WOULD ALWAYS HEAR TAPPING ON THE WINDOWS.
I REMEMBER LAYING IN THE BED.
IT WAS ABOUT 12:00.
AND I REMEMBER HEARING FOOTSTEPS COMING DOWN THE HALLWAY.
THEY WERE VERY SMALL FOOTSTEPS.
I STOOD UP.
AND I REMEMBER HEARING THE NAME EMMA.
AND I SAID, "EMMA, YOU MAY NO ENTER INTO THIS ROOM.
"I'M SETTING MY BOUNDARIES.
"IF YOU WANT TO TALK WITH US, YOU MAY TALK WITH US TOMORROW, BUT YOU CAN'T COME IN.
" SOME GUEST INVESTIGATORS BROUGH A THERMAL CAM WHICH READS BODY TEMPERATURE AND THE AMBIENT TEMPERATURE, AND THEY WERE FILMING DOWN THE HALLWAY.
AND THEY ASKED ME TO CALL OUT EMMA'S NAME.
I CALLED HER OUT.
ONE OF THE GUEST INVESTIGATORS KEPT SNAPPING PICTURES AND WAS LIKE, "WE GOT HER.
" WITH THE FULL SPECTRUM CAMERA, YOU ACTUALLY GET ALL THESE TYPE OF DISTORTED COLORS -- ORANGES, REDS, GREENS, AND BLUES.
AND RIGHT IN THE CENTER OF THESE PHOTOGRAPHS IS WHERE YOU SEE THE FIGURE, WHICH IS LIKE A SHADOW.
FOR ME, IT WAS LIKE, "WOW.
THIS IS REALLY HER.
" Rogers: I LOOKED UP THE HISTORY IN OUR BINDER OF GENEALOGY ON THE FAMILIES WHO HAD LIVED THERE, AND THERE IS AN EMMA ASSOCIATED WITH TWO DIFFERENT FAMILIES WHO LIVED IN THAT HOUSE.
Salazar: THERE WAS A STRONG SENSE OF VALIDATION, BECAUSE IN MY HEAD, I WAS LIKE, "OKAY, I'M NOT GOING CRAZY.
" Rogers: EVERYONE WAS FLABBERGASTED.
Salazar: AFTER SEEING ALL THE CAPTURES OF THE FULL SPECTRUM CAMERA, WE DECIDED TO GO WITH SOMETHING MORE ACCESSIBLE, WHICH WAS A TRAP CAM.
IT WORKS FOR HUNTERS AT NIGHT, AND IT'S A MOTION SENSOR.
IT'LL CAPTURE MOVEMENT.
WE PUT IT IN ONE OF THE BIG TREES.
WE LEFT IT THERE FOR A COUPLE OF HOURS.
I REMEMBER GETTING THE CAMERA, LOOKING AT ALL THE PICTURES.
THAT'S WHEN WE SAW THE FIGURE.
IT LOOKS LIKE SHE'S HOLDING FLOWERS OR MAYBE A DOLL OF SOME SORT.
Rogers: AND YOU CAN SEE THE BOW IN HER HAIR AND THE RUFFLES IN HER DRESS.
WE BELIEVE THAT THAT IS SOPHIE, THE GRANDDAUGHTER OF THE MAHLER FAMILY.
SHE LIVED THERE INTO HER 80s.
BUT SHE CHOOSES TO COME BACK AS A 6-YEAR-OLD GIRL BECAUSE THAT WAS HER HAPPIEST TIME IN HER LIFE.
Salazar: WHEN I SAW THAT PHOTO, I WAS COMPLETELY FLOORED.
Rogers: ONE OF THE INVESTIGATORS HAD A VERY SOPHISTICATED FULL SPECTRUM CAMERA, WHICH WAS POINTED INTO THE MILK BARN.
ONE MAN SAW SOMEONE ON THE MONITOR.
AS SOON AS WE ALL NOTICED THIS, THE ENTITY FLASHED UP INTO THE CEILING AND DISAPPEARED INTO A BIG BLACK MIST.
Salazar: IT WAS A HUGE BLACK MASS.
Rogers: WHOEVER IT WAS, POSSIBLY HEINRICH, WAS OBSERVING AND AS SOON AS WE NOTICED HIM, HE LEFT.
WE JUST COULDN'T BELIEVE WHAT WE HAD JUST SEEN.
Salazar: THERE WAS ANOTHER VIDEO CAPTURED IN THE MILKING BARN.
IN THE LEFT-HAND CORNER, YOU ACTUALLY SEE A TALL MAN AND HE'S WEARING A CAP.
Rogers: YOU COULD ACTUALLY SEE WHO WE BELIEVE IS THE SPIRIT OF HEINRICH, AND HE JUST DISAPPEARS INTO NOTHING.
SEEING THAT VIDEO VALIDATED FOR ME THAT HE WAS THERE.
HE IS INDEED WITH US.
AND I'M VERY UNEASY NOW.
Salazar: THAT WAS ONE OF THE MOST TERRIFYING THING I'VE SEEN.
I'VE NOT WANTED TO GO BACK TO THE VICTORIA'S BLACK SWAN INN.
THE SPIRITS THAT WERE ONCE FRIENDLY HAVE BECOME MORE AGGRESSIVE.
Rogers: THERE ARE SO MANY LAYERS OF HISTORY FROM THE INDIANS TO THE MAHLER FAMILY.
IT'S KIND OF A BOTTOMLESS PI OF PARANORMAL ACTIVITY.
THE SPIRITS AT THE BLACK SWAN INN HAVE BEEN THERE FOR QUITE SOME TIME.
AND AREN'T GOING ANYWHERE ANYTIME SOON.
Eva: YOU JUST SEE THIS BOOK FLY OFF THE SHELF.
Silverstein: WE SAW ONE ORB FLY RIGHT PAST US.
Eva: SHE FELT ATTACKED.
Eva: YOU JUST SEE THIS BOOK FLY OFF THE SHELF.
Silverstein: WE SAW ONE ORB FLY RIGHT PAST US.
RED, RED, RED WAS ALL WE COULD GET ON THE K-II.
MY NAME WAS SO CLEARLY SAID.
Eva: SHE FELT ATTACKED.
MY GHOST STORY BEGAN WHEN I STARTED WORKING AT THE CAT & FIDDLE PUB AND RESTAURAN IN HOLLYWOOD, CALIFORNIA.
THE CAT & FIDDLE WAS STARTED BY MY FATHER, KIM, IN 1982.
IT'S A BRITISH PUB AND RESTAURAN LOCATED RIGHT ON SUNSET BOULEVARD IN THE HEART OF HOLLYWOOD.
IN ITS EARLIER DAY, THE BUILDING WAS USED FOR WARDROBE AND MAKEUP FOR SURROUNDING MOVIE STUDIOS.
AND YOU CAN DEFINITELY FEEL A SENSE OF HISTORY THERE.
NOT ONLY IS IT AN OLDER BUILDING FOR HOLLYWOOD, BUT JUST THE ENERGY OF THE CREATIVE TYPES THAT HAVE BEEN COMING THROUGH THOSE DOORS THROUGHOUT THE YEARS -- ANYONE IN PRODUCTION, MUSIC, THE ARTS, THEATER.
IT'S DEFINITELY APPARENT.
I PRETTY MUCH GREW UP AT THE CAT & FIDDLE, BUT I BECAME BAR MANAGER THERE OVER A DECADE AGO.
Silverstein: I KNEW HER FATHER, KIM GARDNER, WHO INTRODUCED ME TO HIS FAMILY IN 1994.
KIM HAS SINCE PASSED ON, BUT MANY PEOPLE, INCLUDING MYSELF, SAY KIM HAS NEVER LEFT THE BUILDING.
THE MINUTE YOU WALK THROUGH THE DOORS, DEPENDING ON WHAT NIGHT, YOU FEEL THINGS IN THERE -- CHILLS UP THE SPINE, YOU FEEL LIKE SOMEONE'S STANDING BEHIND YOU, EATING, AND YOU FEEL A LIGHT PUSH.
Eva: DURING WORKING HOURS, THERE'S ALWAYS LITTLE THINGS THAT HAPPEN, LITTLE SORT OF THINGS HERE AND THERE, LIKE A PINT GLASS ACTUALLY FLYING OFF THE SHELF, KNOCKING OVER THE COMPUTER, AND JUST BREAKING ON THE COUNTER.
WHEN I ACTUALLY CLOSE UP THE PLACE ON MY OWN, I'M PRETTY MUCH LIKE A LITTLE KID TRYING TO GET OUT OF THERE AS FAST AS I CAN.
A FEW YEARS AGO, WE PUT IN THE SURVEILLANCE SYSTEM.
SO, ONE OF THE CAMERAS IS IN THE KITCHEN.
YOU JUST SEE THIS BOOK FLY OFF THE SHELF, FOLLOWED BY A PEN.
THE GUYS IN THE KITCHEN WITNESSED THIS BOOK FLYING OFF THE SHELF.
THEY TURNED AROUND.
YOU SEE THEM LOOKING IN THE SHELF, AND THERE WAS NOTHING TO EXPLAIN HOW THIS HAD HAPPENED.
I WAS IN DISBELIEF.
I COULDN'T BELIEVE THAT SOMETHING LIKE THA HAD OCCURRED, ESPECIALLY ON VIDEO AND THAT IT WAS DOCUMENTED DURING BUSINESS HOURS.
SO, AFTER WE HAD THIS SOLID EVIDENCE OF PARANORMAL ACTIVITY IN THE RESTAURANT, I KNEW THAT LINDA WAS ALREADY INTERESTED AND INVOLVED IN THIS SORT OF PARANORMAL WORLD.
ONCE I SHOWED HER THE SURVEILLANCE FOOTAGE, SHE IMMEDIATELY GO REALLY, REALLY EXCITED.
Silverstein: WHEN I SAW THAT VIDEO, I KNEW THAT WE NEEDED TO GET IN THERE AND FIGURE OU WHAT WAS GOING ON.
UPON ARRIVING AT THE CAT & FIDDLE AFTER HOURS, THE AIR WAS SO THICK THAT IT WAS ACTUALLY PHYSICALLY HARD FOR ME TO BREATHE.
I CAN TELL YOU THIS -- THEY KNEW WE WERE COMING, WHOEVER WAS IN THERE, AND THEY WERE READY FOR US.
Eva: LINDA COULD ALREADY SENSE THAT THE SPIRITS WANTED TO PLAY.
THEY WERE READY FOR SOME ACTION.
WE SET UP VOICE RECORDERS AND HAD SOME HANDHELD CAMERAS.
AND ALREADY, BEFORE LIGHTS WERE OUT, WE ALREADY SAW, ON THE VIDEO MONITOR, ORBS FLYING AROUND.
WE NOTICED A LOT OF THEM COMING FROM THE KITCHEN.
Silverstein: WE SET UP AS FAST AS WE COULD AND STARTED OUR INVESTIGATION IN THE KITCHEN.
WE STARTED SEEING AMAZING THINGS.
WE SAW ONE ORB FLY RIGHT PAST US WITHIN SECONDS OF BEING IN THERE.
BUT THE MOST INTERESTING THING WAS, WE HAD SET UP A K-II METER, AND ONE OF MY FRIENDS WAS FACING I IN THE EXACT DIRECTION WHERE THAT BOOK HAD FALLEN DOWN.
RED, RED, RED WAS ALL WE COULD GET ON THE K-II.
WE TRIED MOVING IT AWAY.
WE CHECKED FOR ELECTRICAL THINGS.
Eva: IT'S ONLY A FOOD-PREP AREA.
THERE'S NO MICROWAVES OR ANYTHING LIKE THA WHERE THE K-II METER WAS SETTING OFF.
Silverstein: NEVER HAVE I SEEN A RED READING LIKE THA THAT WOULD NOT MOVE.
Eva: I DEFINITELY FEEL MY HEAR RACING A LITTLE BIT MORE, AND I CAN DEFINITELY FEEL THE HAIR STAND UP ON MY NECK.
WE IMMEDIATELY THOUGH THAT IT WAS PARANORMAL BECAUSE THERE WAS NO OTHER EXPLANATION.
Silverstein: WHERE THE KITCHEN IS CURRENTLY, IT USED TO BE A WARDROBE DEPARTMENT.
AND THIS WOMAN WHO WORKED IN THE WARDROBE DEPARTMENT -- IT WAS RUMORED THAT SHE WAS A STRUGGLING ACTRESS THAT NEVER MADE IT.
Eva: SHE WAS VERY BITTER THAT WOMEN AROUND HER WERE SUCCESSFUL.
AND I ATTRIBUTE THE NEGATIVE ENERGY HAPPENING IN THE KITCHEN TO THE DISGRUNTLED SPIRI OF THE SEAMSTRESS.
Silverstein: I HAVE NO DOUBT IN MY MIND THAT IS WHO KNOCKED DOWN THE BOOK IN THE KITCHEN.
AT THIS SAME TIME, THERE WAS A CAMERA RUNNING IN THE DINING ROOM.
WHEN WE ACTUALLY REVIEWED THE EVIDENCE, THE DINING ROOM ALSO CAPTURES AN ORB COMING OUT OF THE KITCHEN IN THE EXACT SAME DIRECTION.
Eva: YOU SEE THIS ORB SEEM TO FLY THROUGH THE WALL.
Silverstein: WHEN I SAW THAT VIDEO, I WAS STUNNED.
WE LEAVE THE KITCHEN AND, IMMEDIATELY, WE ALL HAD THIS HEAVY, HEAVY FEELING.
Eva: WE HAD SET UP A CAMERA SPECIFICALLY TO SHOOT A WINDOW THAT WE HAVE IN THE CASABLANCA ROOM, BECAUSE THIS PARTICULAR WINDOW SHAKES AND RATTLES PRETTY MUCH AROUND THE SAME TIME EVERY NIGHT.
WE'VE HAD PEOPLE TAKE A LOOK AT THE WINDOWS, AND NOTHING CAN EXPLAIN THE ACTIVITY.
Silverstein: ALL FOUR OF US, AT THIS TIME, WERE IN THE CASABLANCA ROOM.
WE ALL SAW SOME KIND OF LIGHT-THING HAPPEN.
A LIGHT CREATES IN THE CORNER OF THE WINDOW, CROSSES THE WINDOW, AND THEN DISAPPEARS.
THIS HAPPENS OVER AND OVER AGAIN FOR THREE MINUTES STRAIGH AND THEN NEVER AGAIN FOR THE REST OF THE NIGHT.
Eva: IT'S JUST AN EMPTY COURTYARD ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THIS WINDOW.
THERE'S NOTHING TO EXPLAIN WHAT THAT COULD BE.
Silverstein: MANY YEARS AGO, ONE OF THE REGULARS AT THE CAT & FIDDLE WAS A MOTORCYCLE RIDER.
AND ONE EVENING, HE WAS ON HIS WAY THERE, TRYING TO HIT THE LAST CALL FOR ALCOHOL.
Eva: BUT HE NEVER MADE I BECAUSE HE DIED IN A MOTORCYCLE CRASH RIGHT ON SUNSET BOULEVARD.
AND WE BELIEVE THAT, TO THIS DAY, HE DOESN'T KNOW THAT HE'S DEAD, BECAUSE AROUND THE SAME TIME EVERY NIGHT, HE'S STILL TRYING TO GET IN TO THE PLACE.
Silverstein: HE STANDS BY THE WINDOW OUTSIDE THE CASABLANCA ROOM AND SHAKES IT, BEGGING TO GET IN, BUT HE'S MISSED LAST CALL.
Eva: BUT ASIDE FROM THE SHAKING, I HAD NEVER SEEN ANY OTHER EVIDENCE OF THIS SPIRIT.
Silverstein: I TRULY FEEL THAT THAT LIGHT WAS CREATED BY THE POOR MOTORCYCLE GUY WHO'S STILL TRYING TO GET IN TO THAT BAR FOR LAST CALL.
WHILE WE'RE IN THE CASABLANCA ROOM, WE DECIDE TO USE OUR WHITE-NOISE METER.
IT'S A RADIO SET TO SWITCH FREQUENCIES VERY, VERY QUICKLY.
Eva: THE WHITE-NOISE METER CAPTURES SOMETHING SIMILAR TO AN EVP THAT YOU CAN ACTUALLY HEAR WHEN IT'S HAPPENING.
Silverstein: I WAS SITTING THERE, AND, ALL OF A SUDDEN, I HEAR MY LAST NAME SAID OVER THE WHITE NOISE -- "SILVERSTEIN.
" MY NAME WAS SO CLEARLY SAID.
I ALMOST RAN OUT THE DOOR RIGHT THERE AND THEN.
EVERYONE ELSE HEARD IT.
EVERYONE'S FACES WEN A GREAT SHADE OF WHITE.
Eva: YOU KNOW IT'S DIRECTED AT HER.
Silverstein: I WAS SO SCARED WHEN THIS SPIRIT SINGLED ME OUT.
I REALLY, REALLY FELT UNCOMFORTABLE FOR THE REST OF THE NIGHT.
LATER ON, TOWARDS THE END OF THE EVENING, WE'RE STILL USING THE WHITE-NOISE METER.
THE FIRST WORD WE HEARD WAS AND THEN I SAID, "WHAT LUMPS?" AND THEY SAID AND I SAID, "WHOSE BODY?" AND THEY REPEATED "YOUR BODY.
" HOW THIS GOT TO ME AT THAT POINT IS, I WAS GOING THROUGH A VERY SERIOUS HEALTH SCARE AND I HAD BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH POTENTIAL OF HAVING CANCER.
AND IT WAS A LUMP THAT WAS GROWING IN MY BODY.
I LATER FOUND OUT, THANK GOD, IT WAS NOT CANCEROUS.
BUT AT THAT POINT, THIS REALLY HIT HOME.
FIRST, THEY KNOW MY LAST NAME AND NOW THEY'RE TALKING ABOU A PHYSICAL AILMENT.
Eva: THE FACT THAT SOMETHING WAS ACTUALLY SINGLING HER OUT -- SHE FELT ATTACKED.
Silverstein: IN ADDITION TO THE WHITE-NOISE METER, WE ALSO LEFT SOME DIGITAL AUDIO RECORDERS GOING AS WE WENT THROUGH OTHER PARTS OF THE PUB.
ONE OF THE GIRLS WAS LEAVING THE KITCHEN AND SAID, "WATCH OUT.
THERE'S A STEP.
" IMMEDIATELY, YOU HEAR I HAD NO DOUBT, AT THAT POINT, THAT WAS THE SPIRIT OF MR.
KIM GARDNER TALKING TO US.
Eva: LINDA SEEMS TO THINK THA THIS IS THE SPIRIT OF MY FATHER BECAUSE HE LOVED TO PARROT PEOPLE, IMITATE PEOPLE, AND JUST MAKES JOKES.
AND IT'S APPAREN THAT HE'S STILL GO QUITE THE SENSE OF HUMOR NOW THAT HE'S DEAD.
IT'S VERY INTERESTING TO HAVE EVIDENCE OF VOICES THAT COME FROM BEYOND.
SOMETIMES, IT'S DISCONCERTING FOR ME.
SOMETIMES, IT MAKES ME FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE.
BUT THERE'S OTHER TIMES THAT IT'S ACTUALLY QUITE COMFORTING FOR ME, ESPECIALLY KNOWING THAT THEY COULD BE EVIDENCE OF THE SPIRIT OF MY FATHER STILL HANGING OU AND LOOKING AFTER US.
Silverstein: ALL THE YEARS I'VE SPENT AT THE CAT & FIDDLE ARE VERY JOYFUL MEMORIES, BUT THAT NIGHT, IN NO WAY SHAPE OR FORM, WOULD I CATEGORIZE AS A HAPPY FEELING.
THE THINGS THAT WE SAW AND THE THINGS THAT WE HEARD STILL GIVE ME THE CREEPS.
Eva: THERE'S DEFINITELY A NEGATIVE ENERGY THERE, BUT THERE'S ALSO A POSITIVE ENERGY THAT BALANCES IT OUT.
SPIRITS JUST LINGER EITHER BECAUSE THEY'RE HAPPY THERE OR BECAUSE THEY'RE SAD THERE.
FOR THE REASONS THAT PEOPLE WERE ATTRACTED THERE IN LIFE, THEY ARE STILL LINGERING THERE IN DEATH.
Marino: IN EVERY PICTURE, YOU SEE ORBS.
Barkman: SHE'S SITTING THERE SHAKING AND SAID, "LOOK.
" Marino: THERE'S NO DOUBT IN MY MIND THAT THESE ARE ACTUAL SPIRITS.
Barkman: I HAD GOOSE BUMPS FROM MY HEAD TO MY TOES.
Marino: IN EVERY PICTURE, YOU SEE ORBS.
Barkman: SHE'S SITTING THERE SHAKING AND SAID, "LOOK.
" Marino: I WAS SHOCKED.
Barkman: MY GHOST STORY BEGAN WHEN I MOVED INTO AN APARTMEN WITH MY GIRLFRIEND.
WE MOVED INTO THE APARTMENT WITH HER DAUGHTER, AND IT WAS FINE.
THERE WAS NO ISSUES.
JUST A NORMAL APARTMENT.
Marino: IT'S A VERY SMALL COMPLEX AT THE END OF A ROAD.
AT FIRST, THERE WAS NOTHING ABNORMAL OR WEIRD GOING ON.
ONE NIGHT, I WENT TO LAY DOWN IN BED, AND I JUST HEARD, LIKE, A LITTLE PLINK OF A SOUND.
GOT UP.
SHAUN AND MY DAUGHTER WERE ASLEEP.
I WALKED AROUND THE HOUSE, AND I NOTICED THAT A PAIR OF HEADPHONES THAT HUNG ON MY KEY RACK HAD FALLEN DOWN.
AT THAT POINT, I REALLY DIDN' THINK ANYTHING OF IT.
I WENT BACK INTO MY BEDROOM TO LAY DOWN AND NOTICED THA MY DRESSER DRAWERS WERE OUT.
THAT HAPPENED ABOUT 10 TIMES.
EVERY NIGHT, THE SAME WAY.
THE HEADPHONES COULD HANG THERE ALL DAY.
AS SOON AS I HAD LAID MY HEAD DOWN ON THE PILLOW, INSTANTLY, A DROP.
AND I'D GET UP, I'D PICK UP THE HEADPHONES AND COME BACK IN, AND THE DRAWERS WOULD BE OUT.
ONE NIGHT, I HEARD A BIG BANG.
I KNEW IT WASN'T THE HEADPHONES BECAUSE IT WAS MUCH LOUDER.
AND WALKED AROUND AND NOTICED THAT MY HIPPO TEAPO THAT NORMALLY SITS DIRECTLY ON MY STOVE HAD BEEN COMPLETELY FLIPPED OVER.
I DON'T KNOW HOW TO EXPLAIN THAT.
Barkman: THERE ARE A COUPLE OCCASIONS THAT I HAVE FELT INTERACTIONS WITH THE SPIRITS.
I'VE HAD MY FEET MESSED WITH.
I HAVE FELT THIS PRESSURE.
IT'S ALMOST HARD TO BREATHE, ALMOST AS IF SOMETHING IS PUSHING ON MY CHEST.
Marino: MY DAUGHTER SAID SHE SAW A GIRL FLOATING ON THE CEILING OF HER ROOM.
TRYING TO ASK HER, YOU KNOW, "IS SHE YOUR AGE? IS SHE MOMMY'S AGE? IS SHE GRANDMA'S AGE?" AND SHE SAID SHE WAS ABOUT MY AGE.
AND I ASKED HER, "WHAT COLOR HAIR DOES SHE HAVE?" AND SHE SAID, "MOMMY, SHE'S ALL WHITE.
" IT IS FRIGHTENING TO KNOW THAT YOUR DAUGHTER IS ABLE TO SEE SPIRITS LIKE THIS.
WHAT ARE YOU SUPPOSED TO DO WITH SOMETHING YOU CAN'T SEE? Barkman: AND THEN THAT'S WHEN THINGS REALLY STARTED TO WORRY ME A LOT.
ASHLEY HAD STARTED GETTING UPSET, LITERALLY BROKE DOWN IN TEARS.
Marino: I TOLD MY MOM ONE DAY, AND SHE SAID, "YOU KNOW, WHY DON'T YOU GO AND SEE A MEDIUM?" I WAS VERY SKEPTICAL OF MEDIUMS, BUT I SAID, "OKAY.
" WHEN I MET WITH HER, SHE KNEW A LO OF VERY PERSONAL INFORMATION.
SHE BROUGHT UP A FRIEND WHO I HAD A FALLING-OUT WITH THE YEAR PREVIOUS.
MY FRIEND AND I, WE WERE PRETTY CLOSE.
SHE LIVED WITH ME FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME.
WE HAD A FALLING-OUT, AND ABOUT TWO WEEKS LATER, SHE PASSED AWAY IN A CAR ACCIDENT.
[ TIRES SCREECH .]
THE MEDIUM SAID TO ME, "SHE'S COMING TO YOU NOW TO LE YOU KNOW THAT SHE'S TRULY SORRY, AND SHE DOESN'T WAN WHAT HAPPENED TO DICTATE YOUR FUTURE RELATIONSHIPS OR FEELINGS TOWARDS ANYBODY ELSE.
" MY REACTION TO EVERYTHING THA THE MEDIUM HAD SAID WAS SHOCKED, TO SAY THE LEAST.
AFTER MEETING WITH THE MEDIUM, SHAUN AND I STAYED UP DISCUSSING EVERYTHING THAT THE MEDIUM HAD SAID.
Barkman: I WAS SKEPTICAL ABOUT ANYTHING IN GENERAL AS FAR AS PARANORMAL AND MEDIUMS AND STUFF LIKE THAT.
BUT AFTER TALKING TO THE MEDIUM, SHE TOLD ME THE STORY.
IT BECAME VERY EERIE.
Marino: SHAUN ENCOURAGED ME TO TAKE HIS PHONE AND SET IT UP IN THE BEDROOM TO SEE IF ANYTHING ELSE HAPPENED.
I HAD PUT IT UP AGAINST THE WALL IN THE CORNER OF THE ROOM AND WALKED AROUND MY BED AND THEN OUT INTO THE LIVING ROOM.
ABOUT 45 MINUTES LATER, I COME BACK INTO THE BEDROOM TO GET THE PHONE TO SEE IF WE CAUGHT ANYTHING.
Barkman: I HEARD A LOUD SCREAM FROM THE BEDROOM.
AND I WALKED INTO THE BEDROOM, AND SHE'S SITTING THERE SHAKING WITH MY PHONE AND SAID, "LOOK.
" THE SHEETS WERE MOVING WITHIN FIVE MINUTES OF THE VIDEO.
Marino: IT WASN'T UNTIL WE HAD AMPLIFIED THE SOUND THAT WE HAD ACTUALLY HEARD THE SHADOW, AS IT COMES OU OF THE BOTTOM OF THE SHEETS, MAKE A LOUD BANG.
[ THUD .]
Barkman: I HAD GOOSE BUMPS FROM MY HEAD TO MY TOES.
[ THUD .]
Marino: THE FIRST VIDEO OF THE SHEETS MOVING TRIGGERED OUR CURIOSITY.
WE DECIDED TO JUST START SNAPPING PICTURES AROUND THE HOUSE, AND IN EVERY PICTURE, YOU SEE ORBS.
YOU COULD TAKE FIVE PICTURES STANDING IN THE SAME SPOT, AND THE ORB WILL BE MOVING.
THAT GAVE US BOTH GOOSE BUMPS.
Barkman: I COULDN'T BELIEVE IT, AND I WAS IN SHOCK.
Marino: THERE'S NO DOUBT IN MY MIND THAT THESE ARE ACTUAL SPIRITS.
Barkman: THE ACTIVITY IN THE HOUSE HAS BEEN GETTING PROGRESSIVELY WORSE.
Marino: I WAS LAYING IN BED ONE NIGHT WITH MY PHONE, AND AT FIRST, THERE WAS REALLY NO ACTIVITY.
AND IT SEEMED LIKE WHEN I STARTED TALKING TO THEM, IT WAS ALMOST AS IF THEY RESPONDED.
I COULDN'T BELIEVE WHAT I WAS SEEING.
I WAS SHOCKED.
ANYTIME I ASKED A QUESTION, MORE ORBS STARTED APPEARING AND COMING TOWARDS THE CAMERA.
Barkman: AFTER SEEING THAT VIDEO, I'M 100% SURE THAT THIS IS ASHLEY'S FRIEND.
Marino: THE MEDIUM SAID MY OLD FRIEND IS TRYING TO CONTACT ME, AND I FEEL LIKE SHE IS THERE.
THE ACTIVITY IS STILL HAPPENING IN OUR HOME.
IT'S NEW THINGS EVERY DAY.
Barkman: I'VE LOS QUITE A FEW NIGHTS OF SLEEP, AND IT'S JUST VERY FRUSTRATING.
AND I'M DONE.
YOU KNOW, I JUST WANT TO GET OUT OF HERE.
[ THUD .]
Marino: I BELIEVE IF I MOVED THAT THE SPIRIT OF MY FRIEND COULD POSSIBLY FOLLOW ME.
Barkman: YEAH, I MEAN, I'M OPEN-MINDED, BUT DID I THINK THA WAS GONNA EVER HAPPEN TO ME? NO, ABSOLUTELY NOT.
Marino: THERE'S NOTHING LIKE THE FEELING OF KNOWING THAT THERE'S SOMEBODY RIGHT THERE NEXT TO YOU THAT YOU CAN'T SEE.
Graham: THE SPIRIT OF THOMAS BUSBY IS KNOWN TO BE A BULLY.
IN THE FIRST 10 MINUTES, PARANORMAL ACTIVITY STARTED HAPPENING.
Baxter: ONE OF THE WOMEN HAD BEEN PHYSICALLY PUSHED.
SHE STAGGERED AND THEN WENT DOWN.
Graham: "WHAT A NASTY NIGH IT'S GOING TO BE TONIGHT.
" Graham: IN THE FIRST 10 MINUTES, PARANORMAL ACTIVITY STARTED HAPPENING.
Baxter: ONE OF THE WOMEN HAD BEEN PUSHED.
SHE STAGGERED AND THEN WENT DOWN.
Graham: "WHAT A NASTY NIGH IT'S GOING TO BE TONIGHT.
" MY GHOST STORY BEGAN WHEN I WENT TO THE BUSBY STOOP IN THIRSK, NORTH YORKSHIRE, ENGLAND.
I'M A STAGE HYPNOTIST, AND I'M ALSO A PARANORMAL INVESTIGATOR.
Baxter: I MET ANDREW THROUGH A GHOST-HUNTING TEAM.
HE WAS DOING GHOST HUNTS, AND I WENT ALONG.
IT WAS FANTASTIC, REALLY ENJOYED IT, AND I ASKED IF I COULD BE PART OF HIS TEAM.
Graham: AS A PARANORMAL INVESTIGATOR, I'VE OBVIOUSLY HEARD OF OTHER TEAMS GOING TO THE BUSBY STOOP AND THE AMOUNT OF ACTIVITY THEY'VE HAD FROM THERE, SO I WANTED TO SEE FOR MESELF.
WE DID HAVE LOTS OF CAMERAS, K-II METERS, EMF METERS, LITTLE AUDIO DEVICES.
WE JUST WANTED TO CATCH SOME PANORMAL ACTIVITY ON-CAMERA.
I'VE BEEN THERE THREE TIMES NOW, AND EACH TIME, IT'S BEEN AN AMAZING PLACE TO INVESTIGATE.
[ CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS, METER BEEPING .]
THE BUSBY STOOP INN GOES BACK TO 1702, WHEN THOMAS BUSBY WAS ACTUALLY EXECUTED FOR MURDERING HIS FATHER-IN-LAW.
Baxter: AFTER HE GOT CAUGHT, THOMAS BUSBY WAS HUNG AND PUT IN A METAL CAGE.
Graham: IT'S BELIEVED THAT WHEN THAT HAPPENS, THE SPIRIT CAN NEVER SETTLE.
THOMAS BUSBY HAD A FAVORITE CHAIR IN THE PUB, AND AS HE WAS LED TO THE GALLOWS, HE PUT A CURSE ON THE CHAIR, SAYING IF ANYBODY SHOULD EVER SIT IN HIS CHAIR, THEY WOULD MEET A CERTAIN DEATH.
Baxter: THE CHAIR USED TO BE IN THE BUSBY STOOP INN, AND PEOPLE WHO CAME IN USED TO SIT ON IT.
AND MAYBE A FEW WEEKS OR MONTHS LATER, THAT PERSON WHO SAT ON IT DIED.
Graham: IF IT'S BY A TRAFFIC ACCIDENT OR HEART ATTACK, IN ONE WAY OR THE OTHER, LOTS OF PEOPLE HAVE MET DEATH.
Baxter: THE MYTH IS THAT IT WAS CAUSED BY THE CURSE OF THE CHAIR.
Graham: THE CHAIR'S ACTUALLY BEEN REMOVED FROM THE PUB FOR HEALTH AND SAFETY REASONS NOW.
IT'S ACTUALLY BEEN PU ON THE WALL IN THE THIRSK MUSEUM TO STOP PEOPLE SITTING ON IT.
THE SPIRIT OF THOMAS BUSBY IS KNOWN TO BE A BULLY AND ESPECIALLY TOWARDS WOMEN.
Baxter: I'VE HAD SOME PERSONAL EXPERIENCES MYSELF.
I HAVE HAD MY T-SHIRT PULLED.
THERE'S BEEN NOBODY BEHIND ME.
I, MYSELF, HAVE BEEN PUNCHED IN THE KIDNEY.
THE ACTUAL HIT TO THE KIDNEY WAS VERY, VERY PAINFUL.
AND I WHIPPED MY HEAD 'ROUND TO SEE WHO WAS THERE.
THERE WAS A TEAM MEMBER THERE, BUT HE WAS OUT OF ARM'S REACH.
HE WOULDN'T HAVE TOUCHED ME.
I BELIEVE I WAS STRUCK BY THE SPIRIT OF THOMAS BUSBY.
HE'S NOT A NICE SPIRIT.
Graham: WE VISITED BUSBY STOOP IN MARCH, DOING A PARANORMAL INVESTIGATION THERE.
NEXT TO THE BUSBY STOOP INN, THERE'S ACTUALLY A BARN, AND THIS SEEMS TO BE WHERE THOMAS BUSBY HANGS OUT THE MOST.
THAT'S WHERE WE GE THE MOST ACTIVITY OF HIM.
Baxter: THE FIRST GROUP WENT INTO THE BARN, WHICH WAS ANDREW'S GROUP, AND THE GROUP I WAS IN WENT UPSTAIRS IN THE INN.
Graham: WITHIN THE FIRS 10 MINUTES OF ENTERING THE BARN, PARANORMAL ACTIVITY STARTED HAPPENING.
THE PEOPLE IN THE BARN DIDN'T BELIEVE IN SPIRI OR DIDN'T BELIEVE IN GHOSTS OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.
SO, WE'RE LAUGHING 'CAUSE WE'RE NERVOUS, AND WE'RE CARRYING ON A LITTLE BIT.
WE DIDN'T QUITE BELIEVE ANYTHING WAS GOING TO HAPPEN.
[ LAUGHTER .]
I WAS PROVOKING THE SPIRITS BECAUSE I JUST WANTED TO GET SOME ACTIVITY, BUT I DIDN'T IMAGINE WE'D GE WHAT WE ACTUALLY DID GET.
I COULD SENSE SOMETHING IN THE BARN WITH ME, SO I SHOUTED OUT AND, IMMEDIATELY, ONE OF THE ELDER LADIES ACTUALLY GOT PUSHED IN THE BACK AT SUCH A FORCE, SHE CRASHED INTO A TABLE, KNOCKING THE GLASS TO THE FLOOR.
[ WOMEN SCREAMING .]
WHEN SHE GOT PUSHED, I THOUGHT, "OH, MY GOD.
WHAT A NASTY NIGH IT'S GOING TO BE TONIGHT.
" Baxter: I WAS FRIGHTENED WHEN I HEARD THE SCREAMING.
I GOT ON THE RADIO TO ANDREW TO SEE WHAT WAS GOING ON.
HE SAID THAT ONE OF THE WOMEN HAD BEEN PHYSICALLY PUSHED BY THE SPIRIT OF THOMAS BUSBY INTO THE TABLE, AND THEN THEY RAN OUT, SCREAMING.
Graham: THE LADY -- ONCE WE GOT OUT OF THE BARN, WE ACTUALLY INTERVIEWED HER.
AND SHE LIT A CIGARETTE, AND SHE WAS PHYSICALLY SHAKING.
Baxter: WHEN I WAS VIEWING THE FOOTAGE, IT WAS VERY SCARY.
I DON'T KNOW HOW THE WOMAN COULD EVEN GO BACK IN THE BARN AFTER IT HAPPENED.
I WOULDN'T HAVE.
Graham: I WAS CALM ON THE OUTSIDE -- OBVIOUSLY, I HAD GUESTS THERE -- BUT INSIDE, I WAS ACTUALLY QUITE FRIGHTENED.
GETTING THAT AMOUNT OF ACTIVITY WITHIN THE FIRST 10 MINUTES OF AN INVESTIGATION, IT WAS QUITE SHOCKING.
I'VE NEVER HAD THAT BEFORE.
WE DID TRY TO RE-CREATE THAT MOVEMENT SEVERAL TIMES, AND IT'S NOT POSSIBLE TO DO I UNLESS SOMEBODY'S ACTUALLY PUSHING YOU BACK.
THERE'S NO DOUBT IN MY MIND THAT THE SPIRI THAT ACTUALLY PUSHED THE LADY WAS THOMAS BUSBY.
AFTER EVERYBODY REGAINED THEIR COMPOSURE, WE ACTUALLY SET A K-II METER UP, AND WE ASKED THOMAS TO INTERAC WITH THE K-II METER.
"IS THIS THE SPIRIT OF THOMAS?" THE K-II METER WOULD LIGHT UP.
YOU CAN CLEARLY HEAR THE WORDS "YES.
" THE K-II METER STARTED FLASHING.
I DON'T THINK THE SPIRI THAT ACTUALLY REPLIED TO THE EVP WAS A VERY FRIENDLY SPIRIT.
I'M CONVINCED I WAS COMMUNICATING WITH THOMAS BUSBY.
Baxter: WHEN IT WAS OUR TURN TO GO IN THE BARN, I REALLY DIDN'T WANT TO GO IN.
I STOOD OUTSIDE, SHAKING.
BUT, WITH ME BEING A TEAM MEMBER, I'M SUPPOSED TO AC REALLY BIG AND BRAVE.
I WAS SHAKING REALLY BAD, BUT I HAD TO GO IN.
I HAD TO TAKE MY GROUP IN TO DO THE GLASSWARE FOR PROOF THAT THOMAS BUSBY WAS THERE.
Graham: HOW WE DEFINE GLASSWORK IS, IT'S SIMILAR TO A OUIJA BOARD, BUT WE DON'T USE A OUIJA BOARD.
WE USE NO LETTERS OR NUMBERS.
WE LITERALLY HAVE AN UPSIDE-DOWN GLASS, AND WE ASK THE GUESTS TO PU THEIR FINGERS ON THE GLASS, AND WE ASK THE SPIRI TO ACTUALLY MOVE THE GLASS IN A PARTICULAR DIRECTION FOR "YES" AND A DIFFERENT DIRECTION FOR "NO.
" Baxter: WE WERE ACTUALLY DOING THE GLASSWORK, GETTING RESPONSES "YES" AND "NO.
" I WAS SO ON EDGE, THE HAIRS ON THE BACK OF MY NECK WERE UP.
I FELT SICK.
WE COULD HEAR THINGS MOVING, BUT WE COULDN'T SEE.
THE MEDIUM THAT WAS WITH US, SUZY -- SHE WAS FINE.
EVERYTHING WAS FINE.
SHE WAS TALKING WITH US.
THEN SHE WEN REALLY, REALLY QUIET.
AND WE WERE ASKING IF SHE WAS OKAY.
SHE HAD SUCH A BLANK, EERIE EXPRESSION ON HER FACE.
AND A GUEST SAID, "I'VE JUS SEEN A SHADOW BEHIND SUZY.
" THEN, NOT EVEN 30 SECONDS LATER, SHE JUST STARTED STAGGERING AND SHE FELL.
OH! SOMETHING FORCED HER DOWN ON THE FLOOR.
IT WAS HORRENDOUS.
SHE STAGGERED AND THEN WENT DOWN.
BUT IT DIDN'T ACTUALLY SEEM TO BE SUZY.
Graham: WHEN I WATCHED I ON TAPE, IT WAS CLEAR THAT SUZY WAS ACTUALLY IN A TRANCE AND WAS COMMUNICATING QUITE DEEPLY WITH SPIRITS BEFORE SHE ACTUALLY COLLAPSED ON THE FLOOR.
THE PEOPLE AROUND HER WERE CONCERNED ABOUT HER AND WERE SHOUTING HER NAME, AND THEY HELPED HER TO HER FEET.
THE ONLY RECOLLECTION SUZY HAD OF THE INCIDEN WAS SHE FELT LIKE SHE WAS STRUCK ON THE BACK OF THE HEAD.
Baxter: I WOULD SAY THAT THOMAS BUSBY WAS TRYING TO TAKE OVER HER BODY TO COMMUNICATE AND MAYBE TO WARN US OFF, TO GET OUT.
Graham: I BELIEVE THA THOMAS BUSBY IS SUCH A BULLY BECAUSE OF THE WAY HE WAS ACTUALLY EXECUTED, WHICH WAS BY HANGING, THEN COVERED IN TAR AND PUT IN A STEEL CAGE.
I RECKON THAT'S WHAT'S MADE HIM SO ANGRY.
BUT HE WAS NOTED TO BE A BULLY BEFORE HE WAS ACTUALLY EXECUTED, AS WELL.
Baxter: MYSELF AND THE REST OF MY TEAMMATES WILL NEVER FORGET THAT NIGHT.
IT WAS HORRENDOUS AND VERY, VERY FRIGHTENING.
Woman 1: SUZY? Baxter: SUZY! OH! I HATE THE PLACE.
I REALLY HATE THE PLACE, AND IT MAKES ME ILL AT THE THOUGHT OF, IF I HAD TO GO BACK THERE, WHAT ELSE WOULD HE DO? IN THE SPIRIT WORLD, I DO BELIEVE THAT THERE IS GOOD SPIRITS AND THERE IS NASTY SPIRITS, AND THOMAS BUSBY IS A NASTY SPIRIT.
Graham: THE BUSBY STOOP INN CERTAINLY HAS PROVIDED ME WITH PLENTY OF EVIDENCE THAT THERE IS AN AFTERLIFE, THERE IS SOMETHING OUT THERE ONCE YOUR BODY DIES.
Pitts: I NEVER THOUGHT, IN A MILLION YEARS, WE'D CAPTURE WHAT WE GOT.
Fuston: IAN WAS SHOCKED BY SOMETHING.
Pitts: I KNEW WHATEVER WAS THERE WAS INTELLIGENT.
Fuston: YOU CAN SEE HER FACE STARING BACK AT ME.
Pitts: THERE'S NO NECK.
THE NECK'S MISSING.
I WAS BLOWN AWAY.
Pitts: I NEVER THOUGH WE'D CAPTURE WHAT WE GOT.
Fuston: IAN WAS SHOCKED BY SOMETHING.
YOU CAN SEE HER FACE STARING BACK AT ME.
Pitts: I WAS BLOWN AWAY.
MY GHOST STORY BEGAN WHEN I CHECKED IN TO THE MOUNTAIN VIEW LODGE IN CORBIN, KENTUCKY.
GROWING UP, WE'D HEARD ABOU THE MOUNTAIN VIEW LODGE BEING A LOCATION THAT WAS KNOWN TO BE HAUNTED.
PEOPLE ON THE SCHOOL BUS WOULD TALK ABOUT IT.
WE HAD ALWAYS HEARD STORIES ABOUT IT.
Fuston: IAN IS MY YOUNGER BROTHER, AND WE HAVE LIVED IN CORBIN FOR 25 YEARS OR MORE.
WHEN WE REALLY GOT INTO BEING A TEAM AND DOING PARANORMAL INVESTIGATIONS, THIS PLACE CAME TO MIND RIGHT AWAY BECAUSE OF ALL THE STORIES THAT WE'D HEARD GROWING UP.
I TRIED TO DO AS MUCH RESEARCH AS I COULD ON THE PROPERTY AND THE BUILDING.
I COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WHATSOEVER.
AROUND TOWN, IT'S RUMORED THAT THERE WAS A BUILDING THERE THAT, WHENEVER THEY WERE OVERBOOKED, HOUSED MENTAL PATIENTS FROM A HOSPITAL THAT WAS DOWN THE STREET.
SO WE CONTACTED THE MANAGER AND ASKED IF IT WAS OKAY WE COME IN TO INVESTIGATE WITH OUR TEAM.
Pitts: ONE OF THE STORIES THAT THE MANAGER OF THE HOTEL TOLD US ABOU WAS SHE HAD HIRED A CONSTRUCTION CREW TO COME IN AND DO SOME OF THE RENOVATIONS.
ONE OF THE GUYS ON THE CONSTRUCTION CREW CAME UP AND SAID, "I DIDN'T KNOW YOU'D HIRED ANY MAIDS YET.
" AND SHE SAID, "WE HADN'T.
" AND HE SAID, "WELL, I JUST HAD A FIVE-MINUTE CONVERSATION WITH ONE.
" HE SAID THAT SHE WAS A BRUNETTE WOMAN IN A MAID'S UNIFORM AND HE HAD HAD A CONVERSATION WITH HER.
BECAUSE OF THE STORIES THAT WE'D HEARD ABOUT THE LODGE, WE DECIDED, "LET'S GO BOOK A ROOM.
LET'S CHECK IT OUT.
" WHEN YOU'RE DRIVING UP THE HILL TO THE HOTEL, AROUND EVERY CURVE, THE BUILDING GETS CLOSER AND CLOSER AND CLOSER.
AND THEN WHEN YOU FINALLY PULL UP, YOU THINK, "WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN TO ME WHEN I COME IN HERE?" GOING IN TO THE LODGE, I DIDN'T EXPECT TO CAPTURE MUCH.
I NEVER THOUGHT, IN A MILLION YEARS, WE'D CAPTURE WHAT WE GOT.
WHEN YOU FIRST WALK IN THE HOTEL, IT'S THE FRONT DESK, AND THEY'VE GO THIS SCARY-LOOKING LITTLE LION STATUETTE THERE.
THEN WHEN YOU ROUND THE CURVE, YOU GET INTO THESE LONG HALLWAYS, AND THE FIRST THING THAT COMES TO MIND WHEN YOU SEE THESE HALLWAYS IS, "I HAVE JUST ENTERED THE BUILDING OF 'THE SHINING.
'" Fuston: WHEN WE FIRST ARRIVED, WE RENTED A ROOM AND WE TOOK ALL OF OUR EQUIPMEN IN.
THEN WE WENT BACK AND TALKED TO THE MANAGER, AND SHE WAS VERY NICE AND GAVE US THE KEYS TO WHATEVER WE ASKED FOR.
Pitts: THE THIRD WING OF THE HOTEL HAS BEEN CLOSED SINCE THEY REOPENED AS THE MOUNTAIN VIEW LODGE.
IT'S KIND OF DARK AND A LITTLE DISTURBING WHEN YOU FIRST WALK IN THERE.
Fuston: I CALL IT "THE CREEPY HALLWAY.
" THERE'S NO LIGHTS BACK THERE.
IT'S TOTAL DARKNESS.
WE THOUGHT WE WERE SEEING SHADOW PLAY AT THE END OF THE HALL.
AND I ASKED, "DID YOU SEE THAT?" AND, IMMEDIATELY, ON THE RECORDER, AFTER I SAY THAT, YOU HEAR A VOICE SAY "DOWN HERE," LIKE IT'S SAYING, "HERE I AM DOWN RE.
" Pitts: TO CAPTURE THAT CREEPY VOICE THAT SAYS "DOWN HERE" REALLY SPOOKED ME QUITE A BIT.
Fuston: WITHOUT A DOUBT, THAT WAS DEFINITELY SOMETHING PARANORMAL.
IT WAS TRYING TO LET US SEE IT, AND THEN IT LET US HEAR IT.
Pitts: AFTER WE HAD CAUGH THE INITIAL EVP, WE HAD WALKED DOWN THE HALLWAY TO THE END AND WERE CHECKING OU DIFFERENT ROOMS.
Fuston: THE DOOR WASN'T LOCKED.
IT WASN'T COMPLETELY SHUT.
Pitts: SO WE OPENED THIS DOOR, AND YOU CAN HEAR THE DOOR CREAK ON THE RECORDING.
[ DOOR CREAKS .]
WHEN I LISTENED BACK TO THAT, I KNEW WHATEVER WAS THERE WAS INTELLIGENT.
IT WAS INVITING US TO COME IN TO THE ROOM.
[ DOOR CREAKS .]
IT SOUNDS LIKE A FEMALE VOICE SAYING, "COME IN.
" [ DOOR CREAKS .]
I THINK IT'S JUST WANTING TO INTERACT WITH US AND LET US KNOW, "HEY, I'M RIGHT HERE.
I'M WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING FOR.
IT'S ME.
" Fuston: LATER ON, OUR TEAM CAME OUT, AND THEY WERE DOING AN EVP SESSION.
ONE OF MY INVESTIGATORS STARTED SMELLING COCONUT, SO IMMEDIATELY WHEN SHE SAID THAT, THEN I STARTED SNAPPING PICTURES OVER BY HER.
IN THE PICTURES WAS AN ORANGE FORM.
Pitts: EVERY TIME THAT SOMEONE SAID, "I SMELL COCONUT," THE ORANGE MASS IN THE PICTURE.
Fuston: AND WHEN THE SMELL WASN'T THERE, NEITHER WAS THE ORANGE MIST.
WHATEVER THAT SMELL IS, IF WE DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS, THIS SPIRIT DOES.
IT'S SIGNIFICANT TO THEM, AND MAYBE THAT'S HOW THEY'RE TRYING TO COMMUNICATE WITH US.
Pitts: A FEW HOURS LATER, CHARLEE AND LORETTA WERE IN ROOM 262.
AND CHARLEE WAS SETTING UP A NIGHT-VISION CAMERA ON THE TABLE, AND THEY WERE JUST GOING TO LEAVE IT IN THERE.
ON THE WAY OUT, LORETTA SNAPPED A PICTURE.
LORETTA WAS LIKE, "OH, MY GOD.
YOU GUYS HAVE GOT TO LOOK AT THIS.
" WE ALL TOOK A LOOK AT IT, AND WE WERE TOTALLY BLOWN AWAY BECAUSE WHAT WAS IN FRONT OF US WAS A ROOM THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE EMPTY, AND HERE IS A SILHOUETTE OF A WOMAN APPEARING TO BE A MAID.
Fuston: IT LOOKS LIKE A FEMALE WITH HER BACK TO THE CAMERA.
SHE HAS HER HAIR UP.
SHE'S VERY SLENDER, ALL IN BLACK, ALMOST LIKE MAYBE AN OLDER MAID'S UNIFORM.
Pitts: BUT THE CREEPIEST THING ABOUT IT WAS WAS THERE'S THE SHOULDERS, THE TORSO, THE HEAD, BUT THERE'S NO NECK.
THE NECK'S MISSING.
I WAS TOTALLY SHOCKED.
WHY IS THERE NO NECK THERE? Fuston: I BELIEVE IT COULD BE THE MAID THAT HAS BEEN SEEN THERE.
Pitts: I THINK IT HAS TO BE THE SAME MAID.
Fuston: WE WERE DOING AN EVP SESSION IN THE HALLWAY DIRECTLY OUTSIDE OF THE ROOM WHERE WE CAPTURED THE APPARITION.
BEHIND ME ARE THE DOUBLE DOORS TO THE THIRD WING.
WHEN I ASK, "CAN YOU GIVE ME A SIGN OF YOUR PRESENCE?," THERE WAS A HUGE BANG ON THE DOOR RIGHT BEHIND ME.
AS SOON AS THAT HAPPENED, I TURNED AROUND AND STARTED SNAPPING PICTURES THROUGH THE WINDOW.
THE VERY FIRST PICTURE THA I SNAPPED, I GOTHE APPARITION.
Pitts: I LOOKED AT IT.
I COULDN'T EXPLAIN IT.
Fuston: TO ME, IT LOOKS LIKE A FEMALE.
IN THE PHOTO, YOU CAN SEE HER FACE STARING BACK AT ME.
SHE HAS DARK HAIR.
I TOOK A FEW MORE PICTURES TO SEE IF I COULD CAPTURE IT AGAIN, BUT SHE WAS GONE.
Pitts: I WAS BLOWN AWAY.
THERE'S SOMETHING THERE THAT'S NOT IN THERE IN THE SECOND PHOTOGRAPH.
IT HAS TO BE SOMETHING THA COULD DISAPPEAR JUST LIKE THAT.
[ CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS .]
Fuston: BECAUSE BOTH PICTURES WITH THE APPARITION AND THE EVP OF THE FEMALE VOICE ALL OF THAT WE CAPTURED COULD DEFINITELY BE THE MAID THAT WAS REPORTED TO BE SEEN IN THE HALLWAY THERE.
Pitts: I THINK SHE JUST LINGERS THERE 'CAUSE SHE'S TRYING TO GIVE SOMEBODY A MESSAGE.
Fuston: FOR SOME REASON, SHE HAS SOME KIND OF CONNECTION TO THIS PLACE, AND THAT'S WHY SHE'S STILL ROAMING THE HALLS THERE.
Pitts: WE INVESTIGATED A FEW MORE HOURS, AND WE DECIDED TO CALL IT A NIGHT.
Fuston: AFTER REVIEWING ALL OF OUR EVIDENCE, WE DID GO BACK TO THE HOTEL AND HAVE A MEETING WITH THE HOTEL MANAGER.
WE SAT HER DOWN AND SHOWED HER OUR PICTURES AND LET HER LISTEN TO OUR EVPs, AND SHE WAS COMPLETELY SHOCKED BY WHAT WE CAPTURED THERE.
Pitts: AFTER CAPTURING THE EVPs THAT WE CAPTURED AT THE MOUNTAIN VIEW LODGE YOU ADD THE PHOTOGRAPHS TO IT, I'M ABSOLUTELY CONVINCED THAT THE MOUNTAIN VIEW LODGE IS HAUNTED.
