My Ghost Story (2010) s06e15 Episode Script

Flick: THE POOL CASE, JUST OUT OF THE BLUE, MOVED ALL ON ITS OWN.
Horn: THERE ARE MULTIPLE ENTITIES THERE TRYING TO GET THROUGH.
Flick: IT WAS SO UNSETTLING, I HAD TO GO WAI OUT IN MY VEHICLE.
Graf: WE WERE SITTING ON THE FLOOR, ROLLING THE BALL BACK AND FORTH, AND IT JUST STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE AND THEN ROLLED BACK TO THE OTHER GIRL.
Stepp: THERE WAS SOMETHING IN THE ROOM WITH US.
Graf: I'VE NEVER BEEN SO SCARED IN MY LIFE.
King: UP IN THE LEFT-HAND CORNER, THERE APPEARS TO BE A MAN STANDING UP THERE WATCHING HER.
I WAS LIKE, "OH, MY GOD.
ELESIA, LOOK AT THIS.
" IT WAS DISTURBING.
Nelson: IT'S THE MOST HAUNTED PLACE I'VE EVER SEEN IN MY ENTIRE LIFE.
Carter: WE ASKED, "ARE YOU THE MURDERER?" AND I HEARD THE RESPONSE Mansfield: I JUST HAD THIS CHILL THROUGH MY BODY.
Carter: THERE REALLY WAS A SPIRIT THERE TRYING TO COMMUNICATE WITH US.
Ketchledge: THIS LARGE ORB HOVERED, HESITATED, AND THEN ALL HELL BROKE LOOSE.
I ASKED FOR SOME PARANORMAL CONTACT -- I GOT WHAT I ASKED FOR.
Hunt: THAT WAS THE SCARIES THING I HAVE EVER EXPERIENCED.
Flick: SOMEBODY ELSE HAD TAKEN OVER THE BAR.
Horn: IT'S CLEARLY SOMETHING INHUMAN.
Flick: MY GHOST STORY BEGAN WHEN I STARTED WORKING AT FARSIDE LOUNGE IN COLORADO SPRINGS, COLORADO.
WHEN I STARTED WORKING THERE, A FEW OF THE OLDER CLIENTELE WOULD ASK, "HEY, MAN, HAVE YOU NOTICED ANY STRANGE THINGS? HAVE YOU HEARD ANYTHING WEIRD?" AND I NEVER REALLY PAID MUCH ATTENTION BECAUSE I NEVER BELIEVED IN ANY PARANORMAL ACTIVITY OF ANY SORT.
TIME WENT ON AND OCCASIONALLY I'D HEAR MY NAME.
I'D TURN AND THERE'D BE NOBODY THERE.
SO I JUST THOUGH THAT WAS KIND OF ODD.
ANOTHER OCCASION, RIGHT AS I WAS GETTING READY TO CLOSE, THE POWER WENT OUT, AND THAT PLACE JUST HAD A WEIRD, EERIE FEELING THAT I'LL NEVER FORGET -- LIKE SOMEBODY ELSE HAD TAKEN OVER THE BAR.
IT SCARED THE HELL OUT OF ME.
IT WAS SO UNSETTLING I HAD TO GO WAI OUT IN MY VEHICLE.
THERE WAS NO WAY I WAS GOING BACK UNTIL THE POWER CAME BACK ON.
AS MORE TIME WENT ON, LORI AND TAMI, THE BAR OWNER AND MANAGER, CAPTURED SOMETHING ON THE ACTUAL SURVEILLANCE VIDEOS AT THE BAR.
IT WAS A POOL CASE THAT WAS SITTING ON THE BAR ALL BY ITSELF, AND IT JUST OUT OF THE BLUE MOVED ALL ON ITS OWN INTO A DIFFERENT POSITION THAT YOU CAN'T MIMIC WITHOUT ACTUALLY PHYSICALLY MOVING IT.
A MONTH LATER, THEY CAUGH SOMETHING ELSE ON CAMERA.
THIS TIME, IT WAS A FRUIT TRAY.
THE LID WAS CLOSED, AND IT OPENED ALL ON ITS OWN.
I HAVE NO CLUE HOW THAT WOULD HAPPEN.
THE WAY THESE LIDS WORK, YOU HAVE TO PHYSICALLY MOVE THEM.
IT'S IMPOSSIBLE.
AND THEN THIS TRAY THAT WAS IN A NORMAL SPO WHERE IT'S BEEN FOR QUITE A WHILE LITERALLY MOVED AND FELL.
THAT CUSTOMER SITTING AT THE BAR SAW IT.
HE SAID, "MAN, I'M OUT.
" AND WE HAVEN'T SEEN HIM COME BACK.
AFTER ABOUT A YEAR OR SO, THE OWNER DECIDED TO HAVE SOMEBODY INVESTIGATE, AS FAR AS PARANORMAL ACTIVITY.
Horn: LORI FOUND MY PARANORMAL GROUP, COLORADO PARA-TECH, ON FACEBOOK.
I SAW THE SECURITY VIDEOS THAT LORI HAD POSTED AND WAS FASCINATED.
YOU VERY RARELY EVER RUN ACROSS ANYTHING THAT HAS OBJECTS MOVING, ESPECIALLY IN BROAD DAYLIGH WITH WITNESSES.
SO, I HAD TO GET IN THERE AND FIND OUT WHAT WAS GOING ON.
SO, WE PULL UP TO THE FARSIDE LOUNGE, AND IMMEDIATELY THERE WAS JUS THIS HEAVY, OPPRESSIVE FEELING.
WE WENT INSIDE.
AND I FELT LIKE THERE WAS THOUSANDS OF EYES ON ME.
I FELT ALL SORTS OF PAIN AND ANGER AND ANGUISH AND THINGS THAT WERE JUS COMPLETELY UNEXPLAINED TO ME.
AND THEN WE MET SHON, WHO RELAYED SOME OF HIS EXPERIENCES TO US.
AND HE WAS VERY NERVOUS AND VERY UNEASY ABOUT EVEN BEING PRESEN DURING THIS INVESTIGATION.
Flick: WHEN I SAW THE EQUIPMEN RICH AND HIS TEAM HAD, I WAS BLOWN AWAY.
IT JUST SEEMED LIKE THIS WAS WAY BIGGER THAN I EVER IMAGINED.
Horn: BEFORE WE EVEN GET THE CAMERAS TURNED ON, THE EMF METER STARTED GOING NUTS.
SO, I KNEW WE WERE IN FOR A BUSY NIGHT.
FIRST, WE CONDUCTED SOME GHOST-BOX SESSIONS, WHICH WERE SPECIALIZED RADIOS THAT SCANNED FREQUENCIES WITHOUT STOPPING ON THEM SO SPIRITS CAN COMMUNICATE THROUGH THESE FREQUENCIES.
WE STARTED GETTING VOICES RIGHT AWAY.
WE GOT A "HELLO.
" Flick: WHEN I HEARD THOSE EVPs, IT JUST TOTALLY CREEPED ME OUT.
Horn: THEN WE START GETTING DIFFERENT NAMES, INDICATING THAT THERE'S NOT A SINGLE ENTITY THERE, BUT THERE MAY BE INDEED MULTIPLE ENTITIES THERE TRYING TO GET THROUGH.
ONE OF THE DEVICES WE USED IS THE GEOPHONE.
IT WAS DEVELOPED BY SEISMOLOGISTS TO STUDY EARTHQUAKES, AND IT GIVES US VISUAL REPRESENTATION OF ANY VIBRATIONS THAT IT SENSES.
Flick: AS WE'RE GOING ALONG WITH THE INVESTIGATION, THIS GEOPHONE WENT OFF.
SEEING RICH AND HIS TEAM'S REACTION, THIS IS A SERIOUS VIBRATION THAT EVEN THEY'VE NEVER CAPTURED BEFORE.
Horn: WE INSPECTED ALL THE EQUIPMENT AROUND THE BAR.
THERE'S AN ICE MAKER THAT WAS ON.
WE GOT NO EMFs FROM I AND WE GOT NO VIBRATIONS ON THE BAR FROM IT, SO WE HAVE COMPLETELY NO EXPLANATION FOR THIS.
WHAT HAPPENED IS IT ACTUALLY FADES ON, HOLDS, AND FADES OUT.
SO, IT'S VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO DO THAT.
NOW, ANOTHER THING THAT HAPPENED AT THE SAME TIME THIS GEOPHONE BUILDS UP IN INTENSITY AND LIGHT, WE ALSO GET A BUILD UP IN INTENSITY OF THE AUDIO ON THE AUDIO EMF DETECTOR.
Woman: AT LEAST WE GOT THIS STUFF.
[ BUZZING .]
[ BUZZING STOPS .]
Horn: THERE WAS NO MAN-MADE ELECTRICITY CAUSING THIS.
THIS IS SOME SOR OF FREE-FLOATING ENERGY THAT WE TYPICALLY LOOK FOR AND WE HAVE TO CLASSIFY AS PARANORMAL.
[ BUZZING .]
[ BUZZING STOPS .]
Woman: WHAT'S THAT? Flick: FURTHER ALONG IN THE INVESTIGATION, I WALK INTO THE MEN'S RESTROOM WITH ANOTHER PERSON, A PART OF THE TEAM.
WE'RE JUST KIND OF ASKING RANDOM QUESTIONS.
SHE SAID, "IF THERE'S SOMEBODY HERE, TURN ON A FAUCE OR FLUSH A TOILET," AND AS WE'RE STANDING THERE, ONE OF THE URINALS FLUSHED.
[ URINAL FLUSHES .]
LIKE, ALMOST ON DEMAND.
I WAS SHOCKED.
I GOT TOTALLY OVERWHELMED.
I SAID, "PLEASE DO THAT AGAIN.
" AND AS WE ASKED THAT, TWO OF THEM WENT OFF.
WHEN THOSE TOILETS FLUSHED ON THEIR OWN, I WAS DONE.
MAN, I COULDN'T BELIEVE THIS WAS EVEN HAPPENING.
I JUST -- I HAD TO GET OUT OF THERE.
AND I DIDN'T GO BACK IN THERE THAT EVENING.
NOT AT ALL.
AFTER THE INVESTIGATION, THE NEXT DAY, RICH CAME BACK INTO THE BAR TO SHOW US SOME OF THE STUFF THAT THEY'VE CAPTURED THAT NIGHT.
Horn: ONCE WE STARTED GOING THROUGH THE EVIDENCE, IT WAS VERY CLEAR THA THERE WAS QUITE A BIT GOING ON, WAY MORE THAN WE WERE EXPERIENCING.
AT ONE POINT, A COUPLE OF THE LADIES THAT WERE THERE MENTIONED THAT IT WAS TIME TO GO HAVE A CIGARETTE.
Flick: WE HAD A VOICE RECORDER TOWARDS THAT END OF THE BAR, AND COME TO FIND OUT, AS THEY'RE WALKING OU TO GO SMOKE, THERE WAS AN ACTUAL VOICE RECORDING THAT SAID, "CIGARETTE.
" Horn: NOW, THIS IS KIND OF INTERESTING BECAUSE PEOPLE WHO SMOKE CIGARETTES, THEY'RE ATTACHED TO THEIR CIGARETTES.
WELL, WHO'S TO SAY YOU'RE NOT STILL ATTACHED AFTER YOU PASS ON? Flick: LISTENING TO THAT, I IMMEDIATELY GOT CHILLS.
TO HEAR STUFF THAT CLEAR IS JUST MIND-BOGGLING.
THEY ALSO CAPTURED ANOTHER EVP OF A WOMAN MOANING.
THERE'S, LIKE, A MALE GROANING OR KIND OF GROWLING.
Horn: TO HEAR GROANS, TO HEAR WAILS, TO HEAR GRUNTS AND THAT SORT OF THING, THAT'S VERY CHILLING.
I MEAN, IT'S NOT THE KIND OF THING YOU REALLY WANT TO HEAR, AND IT USUALLY IMPLIES SOMETHING THAT'S INHUMAN.
Flick: RELATIVELY CLOSE TO FARSIDE IS A CEMETERY.
NOW HEARING ALL THE VOICE RECORDINGS AND EVERYTHING, I KIND OF GET THE FEELING THAT MAYBE THAT'S GOT SOMETHING TO DO WITH ALL THIS PARANORMAL ACTIVITY.
Horn: APPARENTLY, BECAUSE OF THE PROXIMITY OF THE GRAVEYARD, THE FARSIDE HAS BECOME A BEACON FOR THESE ENTITIES.
Flick: MAYBE THESE LOST SOULS ARE TRYING TO FIND THEIR SETTLING PLACE.
IT'S ALMOST LIKE THERE'S SOME SORT OF PASSAGEWAY HERE.
Horn: THE PREPONDERANCE OF EVIDENCE IS STAGGERING.
WITH ALL THE EXPERIENCES THA WE'VE HAD AT THE FARSIDE LOUNGE, WITH THE COLLECTION OF OTHER EYEWITNESS TESTIMONY AND CORROBORATION, IT IS CLEAR THAT THE FARSIDE LOUNGE HAS PARANORMAL ACTIVITY.
AND WE WOULD HAVE TO CALL I HAUNTED.
Flick: WATCH THE FOOTAGE.
IT WILL MAKE YOU BELIEVE.
BEING A SKEPTIC MYSELF, THERE IS NO DOUB WITH WHAT I'VE SEEN AND HEARD THAT THIS PLACE HAS ENERGY THROUGHOUT, AND THERE IS A PRESENCE HERE ALL THE TIME.
Carter: WE ASKED, "ARE YOU THE MURDERER?" THE VOICE THAT WE CAPTURED IS THE SPIRIT.
THAT'S THE MURDERER.
Mansfield: I WAS PETRIFIED.
Carter: WE ASKED THE FLASHLIGH TO TURN ON FOR YES AND TURN OFF FOR NO.
Carter: WE ASKED, "ARE YOU THE MURDERER?" THERE REALLY WAS A SPIRIT THERE TRYING TO COMMUNICATE WITH US.
Mansfield: MY GHOST STORY BEGAN AT THE FRANCO-SWISS WINERY IN ST.
HELENA, CALIFORNIA.
MY HUSBAND, RICHARD, AND I MOVED DOWN TO THE NAPA VALLEY ABOUT 15 YEARS AGO.
AND THE WINERY WAS BUIL IN 1870.
AND IT'S ON A LITTLE SIDE VALLEY.
THERE ARE NO HOUSES ON THE ROAD.
IT'S JUST HILLS.
YOU COULD BE BACK 150 YEARS.
IT'S ACTUALLY CALLED THE GHOST WINERY BECAUSE IT HASN'T BEEN USED AS A WINERY SINCE PROHIBITION.
THERE WAS A STORY ABOUT THE DEATH OF JULES MILLE AT THE WINERY.
JULES MILLET WAS THE NEPHEW OF ONE OF THE ORIGINAL OWNERS AND HE WAS SHOT [ GUNSHOT .]
AND KILLED [ GUNSHOT .]
BY A DISGRUNTLED CELLAR WORKER, LOUIS MURBACK, IN 1882.
[ GUNSHOT .]
AND I WAS ACTUALLY ABLE TO FIND LOUIS MURBACK'S PHOTOGRAPH IN THE RECORDS.
IT WAS A REALLY CREEPY PHOTOGRAPH.
HE'S GOT VERY SCARY EYES.
YEARS LATER, WE STARTED HAVING ALL KINDS OF DIFFERENT EVENTS AND OBSCURE THINGS STARTED HAPPENING.
VISITORS AND GUESTS WOULD FEEL THINGS.
SO, WE DIDN' PAY MUCH ATTENTION TO I UNTIL ONE NIGH I WAS HOME BY MYSELF.
IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT, I HEARD THESE HUGE EXPLOSIONS.
[ EXPLOSION, GLASS SHATTERS .]
I COULDN'T FIGURE OU WHAT IT WAS.
SO THE NEXT MORNING, I HAD TO GO DOWN TO THE CELLAR.
AND WHEN I OPENED THE DOOR I SAW FLASHLIGHT PIECES AND THEY WERE EXPLODED INTO LITERALLY HUNDREDS OF PIECES.
AND I EVEN HAVE A DIVE LAMP, AND IT WAS JUST SHATTERED.
THIS IS THE HANDLE TO THE DIVE LAMP.
AND YOU CAN SEE HOW IT WAS JUST SHATTERED OFF FROM THE HOUSING.
IT'S BUILT TO WITHSTAND UP TO 200 FEET OF PRESSURE UNDERWATER FOR SCUBA DIVING.
AND SO, I WAS VERY, VERY FRIGHTENED.
SO I JUST CLOSED THE DOOR.
I WAS TRULY TERRIFIED.
AND SO, AT THAT POINT, WE THOUGH THAT MAYBE WE'D BETTER FIND OU WHAT'S GOING ON.
AND SO WE CALLED SOMMER, AND SHE INVESTIGATES PARANORMAL ACTIVITIES.
Carter: LESLIE CONTACTED ME AND SHE SEEMED PRETTY AFRAID OF WHAT WAS GOING ON AT THEIR WINERY.
THE MANSFIELD WINERY IS A GHOST WINERY.
IT'S KIND OF FALLING APART, AND THERE'S AN ABANDONED COTTAGE ON THE PROPERTY, AS WELL.
SO IT'S ALL VERY DECREPI AND OVERGROWN.
LATER THAT NIGHT, WE WALKED THE PROPERTY.
WE WENT INTO THE ACTUAL WINERY ITSELF.
AFTER WE SURVEYED THE PROPERTY, WE DECIDED TO INVESTIGATE THE COTTAGE.
WHEN I APPROACHED THE COTTAGE, I DEFINITELY GO AN EERIE VIBE BEING THERE.
IT WAS ABANDONED.
NOBODY LIVED THERE.
AND IT JUST HAD A REALLY DISTURBING FEEL TO IT.
AS SOON AS WE GOT IN THERE, WE STARTED HEARING WHAT SOUNDED LIKE FOOTSTEPS.
[ THUMPING .]
KNOCKING SOUNDS.
[ KNOCKING .]
SO, WHEN WE DID THE EVP SESSION, WE ASKED THE QUESTION, "ARE YOU THE MURDERER?" WHEN I WAS REVIEWING THE EVIDENCE AND I HEARD THE "YEAH," IT WAS EXCITING AND A LITTLE BIT DISTURBING THAT MAYBE THERE WAS A MURDERER STILL LEFT IN THAT LOCATION.
THE VOICE THAT WE CAPTURED IN THE COTTAGE, I BELIEVE, IS THE SPIRI OF THE MURDERER OF MR.
MILLET.
AFTER WE COLLECTED THE EVIDENCE IN THE COTTAGE, WE SHARED IT WITH LESLIE.
Mansfield: SOMMER SENT US THE RECORDING OF THAT VOICE.
I JUST HAD THIS CHILL THROUGH MY BODY.
I WAS PETRIFIED.
ABSOLUTELY PETRIFIED.
I WAS TRULY, TRULY FRIGHTENED AT THAT POINT, SO I CALLED SOMMER, AND I SAID, "WOULD YOU PLEASE COME BACK UP HERE "AND SEE IF THERE'S ANYTHING ELSE YOU CAN FIND? BECAUSE THIS IS REALLY FRIGHTENING.
" Carter: WE WEN BACK OUT TO THE PROPERTY A COUPLE OF WEEKS LATER.
NORMALLY, OUR TEAM DOESN'T USE FLASHLIGHTS TO COMMUNICATE WITH SPIRITS, BUT WE THOUGHT WE WOULD TRY I ON THIS TRIP OU BECAUSE LESLIE HAD AN EXPERIENCE WITH FLASHLIGHTS EXPLODING.
SO, WE USED THE FLASHLIGH TO TRY AND COMMUNICATE WITH THE SPIRIT OF MR.
MURBACK.
MOST OF THE EVENING WE SPENT AT THE COTTAGE BECAUSE THAT'S WHERE WE CAPTURED THE EVP PREVIOUSLY.
WE SET UP OUR FULL-SPECTRUM VIDEO CAMERA ALONG WITH A GEOPHONE.
THE GEOPHONE DETECTS VIBRATIONS, SO WE PUT IT DOWN NEXT TO OUR FLASHLIGHT THAT WE WERE USING JUST TO MAKE SURE THA IT WASN'T THE HOUSE SHIFTING OR ONE OF US WALKING THAT WOULD MAKE THE FLASHLIGHT TURN ON.
WE ASKED THE FLASHLIGH TO TURN ON FOR YES AND TURN OFF FOR NO.
SO, ONE OF THE QUESTIONS WE ASKED WAS, "HAVE YOU BEEN HERE BEFORE THE WINERY?" AND IT TURNED ON FOR YES.
ANOTHER QUESTION WE ASKED WAS SOMETHING LIKE, "DO YOU WANT US HERE?" Mansfield: WHEN I SAW THAT VIDEO OF THE FLASHLIGHT OPERATING AND LITERALLY RESPONDING TO SOMMER'S QUESTIONS, IT WAS THE STRANGEST THING I'D EVER SEEN, BECAUSE IT WAS REAL.
YOU CAN CLEARLY SEE THAT THAT FLASHLIGH IS LYING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FLOOR.
NOTHING IS AROUND IT.
AND SOMMER IS IN THE BACK, ASKING QUESTIONS, AND IT LIGHTS BY ITSELF.
IT DOESN'T JUS FLASH OFF AND ON.
IT GETS BRIGHT, REALLY BRIGHT, AND THEN IT FADES BACK.
Carter: OUR GEOPHONE ON THE GROUND WAS COMPLETELY STILL.
IT WAS NOT LIGHTING UP, LETTING US KNOW THAT THERE WAS VIBRATIONS ON THE GROUND.
SO WE KNOW THAT THE FLASHLIGH DID NOT TURN ON BECAUSE OF US.
Mansfield: IT WAS HAPPENING, AND IT WAS RESPONDING DIRECTLY TO HER QUESTIONS.
WITH THE FLASHLIGHTS EXPLODING IN OUR HOUSE [ GLASS SHATTERS .]
I THINK THEY HAVE THE ABILITY TO MANIPULATE THAT KIND OF ELECTRICAL FIELD.
MY IMMEDIATE THOUGH WAS THAT IT WAS LOUIS MURBACK OR MAYBE JULES MILLET.
Carter: I WAS AMAZED AT WHAT WAS HAPPENING HERE.
IT DIDN'T SEEM COINCIDENTAL.
IT SEEMED LIKE THERE REALLY WAS A SPIRIT THERE, TRYING TO COMMUNICATE WITH US.
THIS EXPERIENCE AT THE MANSFIELD WINERY WAS PRETTY INCREDIBLE.
I NEVER IMAGINED WE WOULD CAPTURE THE EVIDENCE THAT WE DID THERE.
Mansfield: WITH SOMMER COMING OU AND FINDING ALL OF THE EVIDENCE THAT SHE HAS FOUND, IT HAS CONVINCED ME THA WE NOT ONLY HAVE A GHOST WINERY, BUT WE HAVE A GHOS IN THE GHOST WINERY.
I'M ABSOLUTELY CONVINCED THAT THERE IS A SPIRIT LIVING THERE AND MAKING ITSELF KNOWN TO US.
Carter: I BELIEVE THE SPIRI THAT HAUNTS THE COTTAGE IS OF MR.
MURBACK, THE MAN WHO KILLED MR.
MILLE OVER 100 YEARS AGO.
I THINK MR.
MURBACK PROBABLY HAUNTS THE MANSFIELD WINERY BECAUSE HE HAS SOME UNFINISHED BUSINESS THERE.
Ketchledge: I ASKED FOR SOME PARANORMAL CONTACT.
I GOT WHAT I ASKED FOR -- ORB ACTIVITY IN MY HOME.
Hunt: AND THE PHONE STARTED RINGING.
Ketchledge: I KNEW IT WAS UNPLUGGED.
Hunt: THAT WAS THE SCARIES THING I HAVE EVER EXPERIENCED.
Hunt: THE PHONE STARTED RINGING.
Ketchledge: I KNEW IT WAS UNPLUGGED.
I ASKED FOR SOME PARANORMAL CONTACT.
I GOT WHAT I ASKED FOR -- ORB ACTIVITY IN MY HOME.
MY GHOST STORY BEGAN WHEN I BUILT MY HOUSE IN SALVISA, KENTUCKY.
I LIVE ON A SECLUDED, RURAL KENTUCKY FARM, JUST OUTSIDE OF LEXINGTON.
WHEN I FIRST MOVED INTO MY FARM, I HEARD WHISPERING.
THERE WERE -- IT SEEMED LIKE FOOTSTEPS ON THE FRONT PORCH, AND I DISMISSED THA FROM BEING IN THE COUNTRY.
THEN I WITNESSED ORBS.
ORB ACTIVITY IN MY HOME, AND IT WAS PRETTY UPSETTING.
I SAVED MY OLD PHONE BECAUSE WHEN THE ELECTRICITY GOES OUT, CORDLESS PHONES ARE DEAD.
SO I SAVED THIS PHONE IN THE BACK BEDROOM FOR YEARS.
WELL, ONE DAY, I CAME HOME AND I HEARD MY PHONE RINGING, AND I WENT TO LOOK AT THE CALLER I.
D.
, AND NOBODY HAD CALLED.
WELL, I DIDN'T REALLY THINK ANYTHING PARANORMAL OR ANYTHING ODD.
I JUST DISMISSED IT.
WELL, ONE DAY, I RAN OU OF BATTERIES FOR MY CAMERA, SO I TOOK THE BATTERIES OUT OF MY PHONE, UNPLUGGED THE PHONE.
A FEW DAYS LATER, I HEARD THE PHONE RINGING, AND I DIDN'T REALLY KNOW WHAT WAS GOING ON, BUT I DIDN'T THINK A WHOLE LOT ABOUT IT, EITHER.
AFTER THAT, I INVITED MY FRIEND SHANNON TO COME OVER, HAVE DINNER, AND SPEND THE WEEKEND AT THE FARM.
Hunt: WE JUST SAT AND TALKED AND WATCHED TELEVISION.
SO, SHE STARTED TO MAKE DINNER, AND I JUST WATCHED AND HELPED, AND THEN OUT OF THE CORNER OF MY EYE, I KIND OF SAW, LIKE, A SHADOW FIGURE CROSS IN FRON OF THE KITCHEN WINDOW THERE.
Ketchledge: AND SHE GASPED, AND I LOOKED OVER, AND I SAW IT, TOO.
NOW, I'VE SEEN IT BEFORE, BUT THIS WAS A SHOCK FOR HER.
AND IT WAS A SHADOW FIGURE OF A PERSON STREAKING ACROSS THE KITCHEN WINDOW.
Hunt: THAT WAS THE SCARIES THING I HAVE EVER EXPERIENCED.
Ketchledge: I WISH IT HADN' HAPPENED IN FRONT OF COMPANY.
I MEAN, I DON'T HAVE THAT MANY FRIENDS, AND I DON'T CARE TO LOSE ANY MORE.
WELL, AFTER WE HAD FINISHED THE MEAL AND CLEANED UP, I WENT TO BED, AND SHANNON WAS SLEEPING ON THE COUCH.
Hunt: I HEARD SOMEBODY ON THE FRONT PORCH CRYING, AND INITIALLY SOMETHING RAN THROUGH MY MIND LIKE, "OH, MAYBE SOMEBODY'S HUR OR SOMETHING IS WRONG.
" I GOT UP FROM THE COUCH AND I WENT TO THE FRONT DOOR AND I OPENED IT, AND NOBODY WAS THERE.
THAT'S THE POINT THA I STARTED TO REALLY GET SCARED, BECAUSE I WASN'T SURE WHAT WAS GOING ON IN THAT HOUSE.
I WOKE LAURA UP AND SAID, "I THINK I HEARD CRYING, SOMEBODY THERE.
" Ketchledge: IT'S HARD TO EXPLAIN THE UNEXPLAINABLE, EVEN TO A FRIEND.
SO I DID THE BEST I COULD AND TOLD HER THAT THESE THINGS, THESE INCIDENTS HAVE HAPPENED AT MY HOUSE FOR AS LONG AS I'VE LIVED THERE.
Hunt: AFTER THAT EVENT, WE WENT TO BED.
I DIDN'T SLEEP VERY WELL AT ALL.
I DON'T LIKE THINGS THAT I CAN'T EXPLAIN.
AND SO I GOT UP THE NEXT MORNING AND I WENT HOME.
Ketchledge: A SHORT TIME LATER, I INVITED A PARANORMAL TEAM TO MY HOUSE TO FIND OU EXACTLY WHAT WAS GOING ON.
THEY CAME OUT AND SET UP ALL KINDS OF INFRARED CAMERAS, HIGH-TECH EQUIPMENT.
THEY TOOK ELECTRIC READINGS.
THEY ASKED ME TO GO INTO THE LIVING ROOM AND THE BEDROOM AND SIT THERE ALONE.
AND AS I ASKED OUT LOUD FOR SOME PARANORMAL CONTACT, I GOT WHAT I ASKED FOR.
THEY WERE REALLY EXCITED, AND I COULD HEAR YELLING IN THE KITCHEN.
AND THEY SAID THAT THEY WERE RECORDING ORBS COMING NEAR ME.
THIS LARGE ORB CAME DOWN TOWARDS ME, HOVERED, HESITATED, MOVED UP, AND THEN WENT IN A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT DIRECTION.
IT'S SHOCKING.
IT'S EXCITING.
IT'S ALSO PRETTY SCARY.
WHEN I WOULD GET UP AND GO TO ANOTHER ROOM, THE SAME THING WOULD HAPPEN.
IT WAS, YOU KNOW, UNSETTLING TO SEE SO MANY.
IT'S ONE THING TO SEE IT YOURSELF, BUT WHEN YOU GET IT ON TAPE, IT FEELS LIKE IT'S SOLID THEN.
I THINK IT'S PEOPLE THAT I'VE KNOWN, FAMILY MEMBERS THAT ARE STILL CONNECTED TO ME AND MAKING THEMSELVES KNOWN.
SIX WEEKS LATER, I ASKED SHANNON TO COME TO MY HOUSE AND TAKE CARE OF ME AFTER I HAD SURGERY.
THERE WAS A LONG PAUSE ON THE PHONE, SO I THINK SHE WAS TOO POLITE TO TELL ME THA SHE DIDN'T WANT TO COME.
Hunt: I REALLY DIDN'T WANT TO GO BACK, AND I HADN'T GONE BACK TO HER HOUSE SINCE THAT NIGHT, BUT SHE WAS MY FRIEND AND SHE WAS SICK AND SHE NEEDED HELP.
SO I CAME.
IT WAS DURING THE DAY, AND EVERYTHING WAS FINE AT THE HOUSE.
I DIDN'T REALLY FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE AT THAT POINT.
Ketchledge: IT WAS PRETTY UNEVENTFUL.
JUST, YOU KNOW, SOUP, CRACKERS, AND GINGER ALE.
AND I WENT TO BED AND THEN ALL HELL BROKE LOOSE.
Hunt: AND IT WAS ABOUT 2:00 IN THE MORNING -- ONCE AGAIN, VERY LATE.
[ TELEPHONE RINGING .]
AND THE PHONE STARTED RINGING, AND AT FIRST I THOUGH MAYBE IT WAS MY CELLPHONE -- SOMEBODY WAS CALLING ME, SOMETHING WAS WRONG.
AND SO I KEPT HEARING I RINGING, SO I KNOCKED ON HER DOOR, AND I SAID, "HEY, LURA, YOU GONNA GET THE PHONE?" Ketchledge: SO, I PICKED UP MY CORDLESS PHONE AND IT WAS DEAD.
I COULD HEAR THE PHONE STILL RINGING, AND I REALIZED THAT MY CELLPHONE'S OFF.
SO I JUST GOT UP OUT OF BED AND I WALKED TO THE SOUND.
I HEARD THE PHONE IN THE GUEST ROOM.
Hunt: I'M NOT SURE WHY.
I JUST FOLLOWED HER.
AND I KEPT HEARING THE PHONE RINGING.
Ketchledge: IT WAS THE ONLY PHONE IN THE HOUSE THAT WAS RINGING, AND I KNEW IT WAS UNPLUGGED.
I KNEW THERE WERE NO BATTERIES, BUT I JUST WENT FOR IT, I GUESS, OUT OF INSTINCT.
Hunt: IT'S LIKE SHE WAS JUST BEING BECKONED TO ANSWER THIS PHONE.
I DON'T KNOW HOW -- ANY OTHER WAY TO DESCRIBE THIS.
AND SHE GOES AND SHE PICKS UP THE PHONE, AND I CAN SEE HER BREATH.
Ketchledge: I FELT THIS, LIKE, COOL BLANKE JUST WRAP AROUND MY UPPER BODY, AROUND MY FACE AND UPPER ARMS AND HAND.
Hunt: I MEAN, AT THIS POINT, I AM SO SCARED THAT I'M SHAKING.
Ketchledge: I REALLY DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT MIST WAS, BUT IT WAS CONNECTED WITH THE PHONE.
Hunt: I CAN'T EVEN FATHOM WHAT THAT WAS, OTHER THAN SOMETHING THAT WAS PARANORMAL THAT WAS IN THAT HOUSE.
Ketchledge: SHANNON WAS JUST BESIDE HERSELF, AND I FELT THIS CALMNESS OR THIS LACK OF PANIC.
Hunt: IT WAS SO BIZARRE AT HOW CALM THAT SHE WAS AND I'M SHAKING, AND AT THIS POINT, THIS IS WHEN I'M CRYING.
AND AT THAT POINT, I TOLD HER, I WAS LIKE, "I CAN'T STAY IN THIS HOUSE WITH THIS PHONE.
IT'S GOT TO GO.
" AND SO WE WRAPPED IT UP IN A BLUE TOWEL AND PUT IT IN AN ORANGE TUB, AND THEN TOOK IT OU TO HER HORSE BARN.
Ketchledge: I DON'T THINK SHANNON SLEPT AT ALL THAT NIGHT.
MY HOUSE WAS QUIET FOR AWHILE.
I GUESS CURIOSITY GOT THE BETTER OF ME, AND I WANTED TO SEE WHAT WOULD HAPPEN WITH THE PHONE IF I BROUGHT I BACK INTO THE HOUSE.
SO I UNWRAPPED IT, I PUT IT IN MY BEDROOM, I SET UP A VIDEO CAMERA, AND I RECORDED I A COUPLE OF TIMES A DAY.
SO, I CAME HOME ONE AFTERNOON AND I DECIDED TO PLAY BACK THE FOOTAGE, AND THE PHONE RANG ALL BY ITSELF.
[ TELEPHONE RINGING .]
IT WAS SOME PRETTY SOLID VERIFICATION.
[ TELEPHONE RINGS .]
THEN I WRAPPED THE PHONE BACK UP AND PUT IT BACK IN THE BARN WHERE IT'S RIGHT NOW.
Hunt: I HAVEN'T HAD ANY PARANORMAL EXPERIENCES OTHER THAN AT HER HOUSE.
I THINK THA IT'S CONNECTED MAYBE TO HER AND TO THAT HOUSE AND TO THAT AREA.
IT'S TERRIFYING BECAUSE IT'S MADE MORE QUESTIONS, I GUESS, THAN ANSWERS IN MY MIND ABOUT WHAT'S OUT THERE BEYOND THIS LIFE.
[ TELEPHONE RINGS .]
Ketchledge: I DON'T BELIEVE THERE'S ONE ANSWER FOR WHAT'S GOING ON IN MY FARM.
I THINK IT'S SORT OF LIKE THE PERFECT STORM.
I THINK IT'S GOT TO DO WITH THE LOCATION AND THE PROPERTY ITSELF AND PERHAPS SOMEONE THAT REALLY DOES WANT TO COMMUNICATE WITH ME THAT'S NO LONGER ALIVE.
King: THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I'VE EVER HEARD OF TWO DIFFERENT PEOPLE CATCHING A PICTURE OF THE SAME GHOST.
I WAS LIKE, "OH, MY GOD.
THAT'S MY SON.
" Nelson: YOU SEE A DOPPELGANGER, THAT'S A THREAT, AND YOU DON' BACK DOWN FROM THEM.
King: IT WAS THE FIRST TIME I'D EVER HEARD OF TWO DIFFERENT PEOPLE CATCHING A PICTURE OF THE SAME GHOST.
Nelson: YOU SEE A DOPPELGANGER, THAT'S A THREAT, AND YOU DON' BACK DOWN FROM THEM.
King: MY GHOST STORY BEGAN WHEN I VISITED BLEDSOE CEMETERY IN DIAL, TEXAS.
I MOVED TO THE TOWN OF HONEY GROVE IN 2005 AND WENT TO WORK FOR AN APARTMENT COMPLEX THERE.
THE MANAGER THERE STARTED TELLING ME, "YOU GOT TO GO SEE BLEDSOE CEMETERY.
" SO, I STARTED RESEARCHING THE PLACE.
ITS FIRST RESIDEN WAS ANDREW LYDAY.
THE FIRST ONE TO BE BURIED THERE.
ANDREW LYDAY WAS COMMISSIONED BY THE GOVERNMEN WHEN HE WAS IN TENNESSEE.
HE WAS SENT DOWN TO TEXAS.
HE BUILT FORT LYDAY TO PROTECT THE SETTLERS THERE AGAINST THE RAIDS FROM THE INDIANS.
THE PROBLEM WITH THAT WAS THEY COULD ONLY REALLY PROTECT PEOPLE THAT WERE WITHIN RIFLE RANGE OF THE FORT.
[ GUNSHOTS .]
SO, EVERY FULL MOON, THE INDIANS WOULD COME THROUGH AND MASSACRE SOLDIERS AND SETTLERS ALIKE.
THE HISTORY AROUND THAT AREA IS A VERY MURDEROUS HISTORY.
AFTER LEARNING MORE ABOUT THIS CEMETERY, IT BECAME INTERESTING TO ME, SO I SET UP A GROUP INVESTIGATION OUT THERE.
AND OUR FIRST DAY OUT THERE, I MET WITH A GUY NAMED JIM GOSNELL.
SO, WE BOTH TOOK SOME PHOTOS OF THE AREA.
[ CAMERA SHUTTERS CLICKING .]
AND IT GOT DARK, SO WE WEN AHEAD AND CALLED IT A NIGHT.
LATER THAT NIGHT, I GOT HOME AND STARTED GOING THROUGH THE EVIDENCE PHOTOS, TRYING TO SEE WHAT WE'D CAUGHT.
AND I CAME ACROSS THIS ONE PHOTO, AND STANDING ON A PIECE OF THE ROAD RIGHT BEHIND THE CEMETERY WAS AN IMAGE OF THIS WOMAN.
I CALLED JIM UP, AND I'M LIKE, "JIM, I GOT TO SHOW YOU THIS.
" SO I E-MAILED HIM A COPY OF THIS PHOTO.
AND HE'S LIKE, "WAIT A MINUTE.
I THINK WE CAUGHT HER, TOO," AND HE E-MAILED ME A COPY OF THIS PHOTO.
WE GOT TO LOOKING AT IT, AND I WAS LIKE, "JIM, DO YOU REALIZE THIS IS THE FIRST TIME "I'VE EVER HEARD OF TWO DIFFERENT PEOPLE "CATCHING A PICTURE OF THE SAME GHOS FROM TWO DIFFERENT CAMERAS ON TWO DIFFERENT ANGLES.
" SEEING THE SAME SPIRI IN TWO DIFFERENT PHOTOS IS JUST INCREDIBLY RARE.
IN ALL MY YEARS OF INVESTIGATIONS, I'VE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT.
THERE WAS A LADY THERE WATCHING US.
WE DIDN'T SEE HER AT THE TIME, BUT HER MYSTERY REMAINS TO THIS DAY.
ANOTHER PHOTO WE GOT IN THE CEMETERY, IF YOU'LL NOTICE, THERE'S A HUGE ORB ON THIS TREE.
RIGHT TO THE LEFT OF THAT ORB, THERE IS A MAN STANDING BESIDE THAT TREE.
WHEN I SAW THAT PHOTO, I WAS AMAZED.
IF YOU'LL NOTICE THAT THE TYPE OF CLOTHING HE'S WEARING, HE WAS FROM ABOUT THE TIME OF FORT LYDAY.
I JUST HAVE TO WONDER IF HE WAS ONE OF THE SOLDIERS THAT WAS SLAUGHTERED DURING THAT TIME OF THE INDIAN ATTACKS.
Nelson: WHEN I FIRST MET STEVEN, HE TOLD ME ABOUT BLEDSOE, AND WE STARTED GOING THERE A LOT.
King: WHEN ELESIA AND I GOT TOGETHER, SHE HAD BEEN INTERESTED IN THE PARANORMAL, AS WELL, FOR QUITE SOME TIME.
Nelson: GROWING UP AS A SENSITIVE, YOU SEE, FEEL, HEAR SPIRITS.
THEY'RE ALL OVER THE PLACE.
King: ONE DAY, ELESIA AND I WENT OUT THERE TO THE CEMETERY, AND WE PULLED UP, GOT OUT OF THE CAR.
SHE IMMEDIATELY DROPS TO THE GROUND.
Nelson: STEVE ASKED WHAT WAS GOING ON, AND I TOLD HIM THEY WERE EVERYWHERE.
[ INDISTINCT WHISPERING .]
AND THEY WERE GETTING TOO CLOSE AND THERE WAS TOO MANY OF THEM.
[ WHISPERING CONTINUES .]
I WAS ON THE GROUND AT LEAST A GOOD 20 MINUTES.
AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN, YOU FEEL ONE COME CLOSER THAN THE OTHERS.
AND HE MADE EVERYBODY BACK OFF.
FINALLY GET UP AND WALK OVER TO THIS TOMBSTONE.
AND IT'D BEEN KNOCKED OVER, SO I'M SITTING HERE ADJUSTING IT.
King: ABOUT THAT TIME, I TAKE HER PICTURE.
AND IF YOU'LL LOOK AT THIS PHOTOGRAPH, YOU'LL NOTICE UP IN THE LEFT-HAND CORNER, THERE APPEARS TO BE A MAN STANDING UP THERE WEARING BUCKSKINS WATCHING HER.
Nelson: THAT WAS THE MAN WHO HELPED ME AND MADE EVERYBODY ELSE BACK OFF -- WAS STANDING NOT FAR FROM ME.
THIS MAN IN BUCKSKIN.
King: FROM THE WAY THIS MAN IS DRESSED, IT WOULD HAVE BEEN ABOU THE SAME WAY THAT THEY DRESSED WHEN FORT LYDAY ITSELF HAD EXISTED THERE.
AND WOULD HAVE BEEN THERE TO PROTECT SETTLERS FROM THE INDIANS, AS WELL.
THERE WAS ONE AREA OF THE CEMETERY TOWARDS THE BACK RIGH THAT I WOULD GE AN UNEASY FEELING.
WELL, THIS ONE PARTICULAR DAY WE WERE OUT THERE, I HAD THIS FEELING.
Nelson: IT WAS A WEIRD DAY.
THE WHOLE PLACE FELT OFF THAT DAY.
King: WE TOOK THESE PHOTOGRAPHS.
[ CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS .]
AND WHEN WE GOT HOME, I LOOKED, AND I WAS LIKE, "OH, MY GOD, ELESIA.
LOOK AT THIS.
" AND THERE'S A PICTURE OF A BOY STANDING THERE.
AND SHE'S LIKE, "DO YOU KNOW WHO HE IS?" I SAID, "YEAH, I KNOW WHO HE IS.
THAT'S MY SON.
" MY SON WAS 70 MILES AWAY IN DALLAS WHEN THIS PICTURE WAS TAKEN.
Nelson: WHEN WE SAW THAT TRISTAN WAS IN THE PHOTO, STEVEN REALLY FREAKED.
King: IT WAS DISTURBING TO SEE MY SON IN THAT PHOTO.
WHEN I SAW THIS PHOTO, I THOUGHT, "AM I BEING THREATENED HERE? IS MY SON BEING THREATENED HERE?" BECAUSE WHAT THIS IS TO ME IS WHAT WOULD BE REFERRED TO AS A DOPPELGANGER.
A DOPPELGANGER IS BASICALLY A SPIRIT OR BAD ENTITY THAT SHOWS THEMSELVES TO BE SOMEONE YOU KNOW.
AND USUALLY SEEING THA IS A SIGN OF SOMETHING BAD TO HAPPEN OR A SIGN OF DEATH.
SO, YEAH, IT FREAKED ME OUT PRETTY GOOD.
Nelson: EVEN THOUGH THE PHOTO WAS SO UPSETTING TO US, WE CONTINUED TO GO BACK 'CAUSE YOU SEE A DOPPELGANGER, THAT'S A THREAT, AND YOU DON' BACK DOWN FROM THEM.
THAT'S THE WORST THING TO DO.
King: PEOPLE ARE GONNA BELIEVE WHAT THEY WANT TO BELIEVE, SO I TELL THEM THIS -- "YOU DON'T HAVE TO BELIEVE ME.
GO OUT THERE AND TAKE PICTURES.
SEE FOR YOURSELF.
" Nelson: AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED, BLEDSOE IS THE MOST HAUNTED PLACE I'VE EVER SEEN IN MY ENTIRE LIFE.
King: PEOPLE ASK ME, "WHAT IS BLEDSOE CEMETERY?" I TELL THEM TO IMAGINE A PLACE WHERE EVIL ITSELF IS NOT AFRAID TO BE SEEN.
THAT PLACE IS BLEDSOE CEMETERY.
Graf: THERE'S SEVERAL DIFFEREN SPIRITS AT THE GRANT HOUSE.
ORBS COULD BE GHOSTS.
A BLACK SHADOW IS AN EVIL SPIRIT.
Stepp: THERE WAS SOMETHING IN THE ROOM WITH US.
Graf: IT FELT LIKE A HAND.
I'VE NEVER BEEN SO SCARED IN MY LIFE.
Stepp: THERE WAS SOMETHING IN THE ROOM WITH US.
Graf: SOMETHING WAS PLAYING WITH THE BALL.
Stepp: MY GHOST STORY BEGAN AT THE GRANT HOUSE HOTEL IN RUSH CITY, MINNESOTA.
THE GRANT HOUSE WAS BUIL IN ABOUT 1880 BY RUSSELL H.
GRANT, WHO WAS A SECOND COUSIN OF THE PRESIDEN ULYSSES S.
GRANT.
IT'S A SMALL HOTEL.
THERE'S ONLY 10 ROOMS.
IT DOES HAVE A SMALL RESTAURANT.
IT DID BURN DOWN IN 1895.
IT IS RUMORED THAT THE FIRE STARTED IN THE STABLES OUT BACK BY A YOUNG BOY NAMED OBADIAH.
IT'S PUBLICLY KNOWN THAT HIS SPIRI MIGHT BE HAUNTING THE HOTEL.
WHEN I HEARD ABOUT THE HAUNTING GOING ON AT THE GRANT HOUSE, I DECIDED TO GO WITH A GROUP OF FRIENDS AND MY DAUGHTER, NIKKI, ON AN INVESTIGATION THERE.
Graf: I'VE HEARD A LO ABOUT PARANORMAL ACTIVITY AT THE GRANT HOUSE, BUT I DIDN'T REALLY BELIEVE IN ANY OF IT.
MY MOM WEN ON GHOST INVESTIGATIONS BEFORE, AND SHE HAD ALL THESE EXPERIENCES, BUT I ALWAYS DISREGARDED THEM AND SAID IT ISN'T REAL.
BUT THIS TIME I WENT ALONG JUST TO MAKE HER HAPPY.
Stepp: NIKKI IS NOT INTO THE PARANORMAL AS MUCH AS I AM.
I THINK THAT'S BECAUSE SHE'S MORE AFRAID OF IT THAN ANYTHING.
SHE REALLY DOESN'T WANT TO KNOW WHAT'S THERE.
Graf: WE'RE GOING TO OUR ROOM, AND THE HALLWAY HAD THIS CREEPY FEELING ABOUT IT.
YOU THOUGHT SOMETHING WAS GONNA POP OUT AT YOU.
Stepp: I COULDN'T HELP BUT FEEL LIKE THERE WAS JUST SOMETHING IN THAT HALLWAY, AND THAT'S WHEN I TOOK A PICTURE.
THERE WAS A TON OF ORBS THAT PRETTY MUCH COVERED THE WHOLE HALLWAY.
I KNEW THERE WAS NOTHING ON MY LENS BECAUSE I HAD JUST WIPED IT OFF.
I CAN'T EXPLAIN WHY THERE WOULD BE SO MANY DIFFERENT ORBS IN THAT PICTURE.
Graf: WHEN I SAW THE PICTURE, I FELT A LITTLE BIT MORE NERVOUS THAN I DID BEFORE BECAUSE MY MOM ALWAYS TOLD ME THAT ORBS COULD BE GHOSTS.
[ CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS .]
AND THERE WAS ORBS EVERYWHERE.
Stepp: AS WE ENTERED OUR ROOM, YOU COULD TELL THAT THERE WAS SOMETHING IN THE ROOM WITH US.
I HAD HEARD FROM THE OWNER THAT IN THE ROOM THAT WE WERE STAYING, THERE WAS A SPIRI OF A SMALL CHILD.
Stepp: I DIDN'T TELL NIKKI BECAUSE I DIDN'T WAN TO FREAK HER OUT ANY MORE, SO I ENDED UP TAKING PICTURES AND SAW THIS BLACK MASS IN THE DOORWAY.
Graf: I KNEW THE BLACK SHADOW WAS A LOT WORSE THAN AN ORB, BECAUSE A BLACK SHADOW IS PROBABLY AN EVIL SPIRIT.
Stepp: AFTER SHOWING NIKKI THE THIRD PICTURE, SHE WAS GETTING REALLY SCARED ABOUT WHAT MIGHT HAPPEN.
Graf: I DEFINITELY GO MORE NERVOUS, ESPECIALLY BECAUSE IT WAS IN OUR ROOM THAT WE WERE STAYING IN.
Stepp: FINALLY, WE DECIDED TO WATCH SOME TV AND JUST TRIED TO CALM HER DOWN BEFORE WE VENTURED OU INTO THE REST OF THE HOTEL.
Graf: ME AND A FEW OTHER GIRLS WERE LAYING ON THE BED, AND MY MOM WAS SITTING ON THE FLOOR NEXT TO ME.
Stepp: AS I WAS SITTING THERE, ALL OF A SUDDEN I FELT THIS TAP ON MY SHOULDER.
Graf: SHE LOOKED AT ME AND SAID, "DID YOU TAP ME?" AND I WAS THREE FEET AWAY FROM HER, SO THERE'S NO WAY THAT I COULD HAVE TAPPED HER, AND I WAS LIKE, "NO.
" ALL OF A SUDDEN, I FEEL THIS HAND COME DOWN MY LEG, JUST LIKE THAT, AND THAT'S WHEN I FREAKED OUT.
MY STOMACH DROPPED, AND I STARTED SHAKING, AND I SCREAMED.
Stepp: SHE WAS SO TERRIFIED.
SHE JUMPED OFF THE BED AND JUMPED IN MY LAP.
Graf: I KNEW IT WAS REAL BECAUSE IT FELT LIKE A HAND OF A REAL PERSON, BUT THERE'S NO WAY IT COULD HAVE BEEN.
AS SOON AS THAT HAPPENED, EVERYONE WENT INTO INVESTIGATION MODE.
THEY TOOK OUT HER FLASHLIGHTS AND ALL OF HER EQUIPMEN WHILE I WAS CRYING.
I WANTED THE GHOST TO GO AWAY, AND THEY WANTED THE GHOS TO COME BACK.
AFTER I CALMED DOWN, I CONVINCED THEM THA WE NEEDED TO LEAVE THE ROOM.
Stepp: WE DECIDED TO GO BACK DOWN TO THE FIRST FLOOR, WHERE THE OTHER GROUP WAS STAYING, BECAUSE THERE HAD BEEN REPORTS OF AN ADULT SPIRIT IN THAT ROOM.
HIS NAME IS ELMER.
AND WE WANTED TO SEE IF WE COULD DO AN EVP SESSION IN THERE.
NIKKI JUST REFUSED.
SHE WAS TOO SCARED AT THIS POINT.
Graf: SO, I STAYED IN THE HALL WITH ANOTHER GIRL.
Stepp: THE OWNER HAD TOLD US THAT ELMER WAS A MENTALLY CHALLENGED INDIVIDUAL THAT HAD LIVED AT THE HOTEL.
HE WAS SOME KIND OF MAINTENANCE WORKER THERE.
HE DIED SOMETIME IN THE 1980s AT THE HOTEL, AND APPARENTLY HE DOESN'T KNOW THAT HE'S PASSED ON.
WE SET UP AN EVP SESSION.
WE WERE ALL KIND OF SITTING AROUND THE ROOM AND ASKING QUESTIONS.
AT FIRST, WE WEREN'T REALLY GETTING A LOT OF RESPONSES, SO ONE OF THE GROUP MEMBERS STARTED ASKING MORE PROVOKING QUESTIONS, LIKE, "ELMER, ARE YOU STUPID?" THE NEXT RESPONSE SHOCKED US.
WE HEARD A MALE VOICE CLEARLY SAY, "I HEARD THAT.
" AND WE COULD ACTUALLY HEAR HIM CRYING.
THE NEXT THING WE KNEW, ELMER SAID, "I AIN'T STUPID.
" IT WAS AMAZING.
AND WE ALL JUST LOOKED AT EACH OTHER.
WE COULDN'T BELIEVE WE JUS HEARD SOMEBODY ANSWER US BACK THAT WASN'T ANY OF US IN THE ROOM.
BUT I FELT REALLY BAD.
IT FELT LIKE WE HAD REALLY UPSET HIM, SO I JUST ASKED HIM IF HE WANTED A HUG.
THE NEXT THING I KNEW, THIS COLD AIR CAME AT ME, AND I HAD THIS FEELING OF PURE ELECTRICITY THROUGHOUT OUT MY WHOLE BODY.
AND I COULD ACTUALLY FEEL, LIKE, SOMEBODY HUGGING ME.
I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW WHAT TO DO.
I JUST SAT THERE AND I TOLD EVERYBODY, "HE'S DOING IT.
" AND IT LASTED FOR A FEW SECONDS, AND AS QUICK AS IT CAME, THIS AIR JUST WHOOSHED AWAY FROM ME AND THE FEELING COMPLETELY LEFT.
I HAVE NEVER FEL ANYTHING LIKE THAT IN MY LIFE.
I FINALLY FOUND NIKKI AND I TOLD HER WHAT HAD JUST HAPPENED.
SHE COULDN'T BELIEVE IT, AND SHE WAS SO THANKFUL IT WASN'T HER.
Graf: I WAS GLAD THAT I WAS IN THE HALLWAY, BECAUSE I DON'T THINK I COULD HANDLE ANY MORE GHOSTS TOUCHING ME.
WE WENT BACK TO OUR ROOM TO CALL IT A NIGHT, BUT ONE OF THE GIRLS WANTED TO KEEP GOING WITH THE INVESTIGATION.
SHE WANTED TO COMMUNICATE WITH THE SPIRIT OF THE LITTLE BOY IN THE ROOM THAT WE THOUGHT WAS OBADIAH.
SHE CONVINCED ME TO SIT ON THE FLOOR AND ROLL A BALL WITH HER.
I DIDN'T THINK IT WAS A BIG DEAL SINCE IT WAS JUST A BALL.
Stepp: I GOT OUT THE VIDEO CAMERA TO SEE IF WE MIGH CAPTURE ANYTHING, JUST IN CASE.
Graf: WE WERE SITTING ON THE FLOOR, ROLLING THE BALL BACK AND FORTH, AND THERE WAS ONE POIN WHERE IT DIDN'T REACH ME.
IT JUST STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE AND THEN ROLLED BACK TO THE OTHER GIRL.
SOMETHING WAS PLAYING WITH THE BALL.
THE GHOSTS WERE INTERACTING WITH US.
AND THEN ANOTHER TIME, IT STOPPED AND WENT IN A CIRCLE, AND THEN WENT IN A CIRCLE IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION.
Stepp: ALL OF US COULDN'T BELIEVE IT.
WE WERE LIKE, "HOW COULD THIS BALL STOP RIGHT THERE "AND GO IN A CIRCLE TWO DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS? IT'S IMPOSSIBLE.
" I DID HAVE A LEVEL WITH ME, AND I CHECKED IT, AND THE FLOOR WAS TOTALLY LEVEL, SO I CAN'T EXPLAIN WHY THE BALL WOULD ROLL IN DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS.
NIKKI WAS FREAKED OU ALL OVER AGAIN.
SHE WAS WAITING FOR US TO GE OUR STUFF TOGETHER AND GET OUT.
Graf: I'VE NEVER BEEN SO SCARED IN MY LIFE.
BEFORE I STEPPED FOO IN THE HOTEL, I WAS A SKEPTIC OF GHOSTS.
I DIDN'T THINK THAT THEY ARE REAL.
BUT AFTER SEEING WHAT I SAW, I DEFINITELY BELIEVE IN GHOSTS AND THAT THE GRANT HOTEL IS HAUNTED.
Stepp: EVEN THOUGH NIKKI WAS TERRIFIED OF WHAT HAPPENED AT THE GRANT HOUSE, I WAS TRYING TO GET SOME ANSWERS.
I WOULD SAY THERE IS A SPIRIT OF OBADIAH THERE AND THERE IS A SPIRIT OF ELMER.
I THINK THERE'S SEVERAL DIFFERENT SPIRITS AT THE GRANT HOUSE, AND I WOULD DEFINITELY GO BACK TO FIND OUT ANY TIME.
