My Ghost Story (2010) s06e16 Episode Script
Misery on the Missouri
Martin: WE CAUGHT MIS FLYING THROUGH THE AIR.
[ GASPS .]
AND WE CAPTURED A SMALL SHADOW PERSON PLAYING PEEKABOO.
IT KIND OF FREAKS YOU OUT.
Nathan: WE GOT THIS VOICE THAT SAID Christina: HE SAID, "THERE'S SOMEBODY IN HERE.
" Nathan: AND YOU COULD SEE I PHYSICALLY MOVE STUFF.
Christina: IT JUST MADE ME FEEL SICK.
THERE IS DEFINITELY SOME TYPE OF A SPIRIT IN OUR HOUSE.
Tooman: I INSTANTLY JUST STOPPED.
IT WAS SOMETHING THA I NEVER EXPECTED TO SEE.
Vargas: IT JUST REINFORCES YOUR BELIEF THAT THE SPIRITS ARE THERE.
Marie: I TOOK A PICTURE OF A SHADOW PERSON.
James: WE CAPTURED A SET OF EYES GAZING BACK AT US.
Marie: IT SCARED ME TO DEATH.
Pinkerton: SUDDENLY, I SEE AN ORB GO BY.
I HEAR THE DOOR SLAM SHUT.
Lugo: THIS ENTITY WAS TRYING TO DOMINATE RACHAEL.
HE HAD CLAIMED HER.
Pinkerton: SO HORRIBLE TO THINK THAT YOU HAD SOMETHING LIKE THA IN YOUR HOUSE.
Vargas: TO SEE A PHOTO OF A SPIRI SHAKES YOU TO YOUR KNEES.
Tooman: I WAS JUST FROZEN, LOOKING AT THIS APPARITION OF A PERSON.
Vargas: MY GHOST STORY BEGAN WHEN I STEPPED INSIDE WELLINGTON JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL.
THE WELLINGTON JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL WAS BUILT IN 1928, AND IT OPENED IN 1929, AND IT HOUSED STUDENTS GRADES 7 THROUGH 12.
I ACTUALLY TAUGHT IN THA BUILDING FOR ABOUT FIVE YEARS.
THE NEW HIGH SCHOOL WAS BUIL IN 1960.
AND AT THAT POINT, OUR BUILDING WAS VIRTUALLY ABANDONED.
THE SCHOOL BOARD HAS TRIED TO SELL IT.
BUT THE COMMUNITY THEATER HAS TAKEN IT OVER, AND WE USE THE STAGE AND A LOT OF THE ROOMS FOR OUR PRODUCTIONS.
AND IT WAS THEN THAT WE FIRST STARTED NOTICING THERE WERE SOME ODD THINGS GOING ON IN THE BUILDING.
WE WOULD BE IN PRODUCTION, AND PROPS WOULD COME UP MISSING THAT NO ONE HAD TOUCHED.
WE'VE HAD PEOPLE LOCKED OU OF DRESSING ROOMS.
ONE OF THE THINGS THAT REALLY STARTLED US WAS A FRIEND OF MINE AND I WERE ON STAGE, AND WE WERE BOTH LOOKING UP AT THE BALCONY.
AND ALL OF A SUDDEN, WE SAW THIS PINK LIGH JUST KIND OF GO ACROSS.
IT DEFINITELY CREEPED US OUT.
WE HAD HAD SO MANY INCIDENTS OCCUR THAT WERE JUST UNSETTLING.
AND, IN THE MEANTIME, WE HAD STARTED A CHILDREN'S THEATER GROUP, AND WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT THERE WAS REALLY NOTHING GOING ON IN THE BUILDING THAT COULD BE HARMFUL TO THE KIDS.
CARRIE, I KNEW, WAS PART OF THIS PARANORMAL INVESTIGATION TEAM.
Tooman: LISA CONTACTED OUR GROUP ABOUT DOING THE INVESTIGATION.
IT WAS PRETTY EXCITING, OF COURSE, BECAUSE I WENT TO SCHOOL THERE.
Vargas: WE ARRIVED THROUGH THE FRONT DOORS, AND WE STARTED TO SET PEOPLE UP IN VARIOUS PLACES.
Tooman: THE ENVIRONMENT FEL UNEASY AND JUST OMINOUS.
THE FIRST LOCATION THAT WE WEN AND CHECKED OU WAS ONE OF THE GIRLS' RESTROOMS.
Vargas: THAT WAS ONE OF THE PLACES THAT WE'D HAD THE BAD FEELINGS.
PEOPLE HAD HAD THE STALL DOORS HELD SHUT ON THEM AND THERE WAS JUST A GENERAL CREEPY FEELING IN THE BATHROOM.
Tooman: I SET UP AN EVP SESSION TO SEE IF WE COULD MAKE CONTAC WITH ANYONE.
AND WE HAD ACTUALLY CAUGHT AN EVP THAT SOUNDS LIKE IT'S SAYING, "KEEP PRAYING YOU'RE ALIVE.
" Vargas: WHEN YOU HEAR THAT, IT JUST MAKES YOU TERRIFIED.
IT JUST SHOOK US UP QUITE A BIT.
Tooman: I FELT CHILLED AND JUST KIND OF IN WONDER OF WHAT EXACTLY DO THEY MEAN BY THAT? Vargas: IT JUST SENT CHILLS, ABSOLUTELY, UP MY SPINE.
Tooman: AFTER THE GIRLS' RESTROOM, WE DECIDED TO HEAD ON DOWN TO THE AUDITORIUM.
WE STARTED IN THE BALCONY.
Vargas: CARRIE WAS TAKING PICTURES.
[ CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKING .]
ONE OF THE PICTURES SHE TOOK I ABSOLUTELY COULD NOT BELIEVE BECAUSE THERE WAS A FIGURE THERE ON THE STAGE.
I BELIEVE THAT WAS THE PINK LADY.
Tooman: FROM THE RESEARCH THAT WE'VE DONE, WE'VE FOUND THAT THERE WAS A LADY THAT WAS A SECRETARY AT THE SCHOOL YEARS AGO.
AND SHE WAS ON HER WAY TO SCHOOL ONE MORNING, AND SHE WAS TRYING TO CROSS THE RAILROAD TRACKS, AND SHE DID NOT MAKE IT.
SHE WAS HIT BY THE TRAIN.
WE KIND OF BELIEVE THAT SHE'S STILL AT THE SCHOOL.
Vargas: TO SEE A PHOTO OF A SPIRI JUST SHAKES YOU TO YOUR KNEES.
TO BE ABLE TO CAPTURE THA ON FILM AND TO KNOW THAT THERE IS SOMETHING THERE THAT YOU FELT, THAT YOU'VE HEARD, AND TO BE ABLE TO SEE IT, IT JUST REINFORCES YOUR BELIEF THAT THE SPIRITS ARE THERE.
TO THINK THAT THERE WAS A SPIRIT ON THE STAGE WHEN WE HAD BEEN ON THE STAGE AS WELL WAS DEFINITELY SCARY.
Tooman: AFTER THE AUDITORIUM, WE ACTUALLY HEADED INTO THE GYMNASIUM.
Vargas: THE GYMNASIUM HAS ALWAYS BEEN A REAL HOTBED OF ACTIVITY.
Tooman: WE HAD HAD A LO OF PEOPLE TELL US THAT, WHILE THEY WERE IN THERE, THEY DEFINITELY HAD UNEASY-TYPE FEELINGS, BEING-WATCHED-TYPE FEELINGS.
SOMEONE ELSE IS IN THE GYMNASIUM BESIDES THEMSELVES.
I WAS ACTUALLY FILMING WHILE I WAS IN THERE WITH MY I.
R.
CAMERA.
AND WE HAD, YOU KNOW, RAN DOWN TO THE GIRLS' LOCKER ROOM AND CAME BACK UPSTAIRS, AND WHILE I WAS COMING BACK UP THE STAIRS, I WAS ACTUALLY PANNING WITH MY CAMERA.
I INSTANTLY JUST STOPPED BECAUSE I WAS FIXATED ON SOMETHING THAT WAS BACK IN THE BACK PAR OF THE GYMNASIUM RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE DOOR.
I WAS JUST BASICALLY FROZEN, LOOKING AT THIS APPARITION OF A PERSON.
LATER, I ACTUALLY SAW SOMETHING ON THE VIDEO EVIDENCE.
THERE WAS SOMETHING THERE, SOMETHING THAT I HAD JUST SEEN.
IT KIND OF JUST BLEW MY MIND.
IT WAS SOMETHING THAT I NEVER EXPECTED TO SEE.
Vargas: WHEN I SAW THE VIDEO OF THAT SHADOW FIGURE, I COULDN'T BELIEVE IT.
I WAS SHOCKED.
I WAS SO SCARED.
Tooman: IT'S POSSIBLY AN OLD JANITOR THAT I WAS THERE WITH WHENEVER I WENT TO SCHOOL.
HE MAY STILL BE HAUNTING THE SCHOOL.
A FEW YEARS EARLIER, HE HAD ACTUALLY JUST COMMITTED SUICIDE.
Vargas: I ACTUALLY KNEW HIM WHEN I TAUGHT THERE IN THE BUILDING.
I BELIEVE THE JANITOR HAUNTS THE BUILDING BECAUSE HE LOVED IT SO MUCH.
THAT WAS HIS LIFE, TO TAKE CARE OF IT.
I THINK THAT WAS WHERE HE WAS THE HAPPIEST IN HIS WHOLE LIFE AND THAT'S WHY HE LIKES TO STAY THERE.
Tooman: AFTER CAPTURING THE APPARITION ON MY I.
R.
CAMERA, I DECIDED THAT WE NEEDED TO TRY TO GET SOME FURTHER COMMUNICATION, AND, A LOT OF TIMES, I USE A FLASHLIGHT SESSION.
I TAKE YOUR REGULAR, EVERYDAY FLASHLIGH AND SET IT SO IT'S SENSITIVE ENOUGH TO BE TURNED ON BUT NOT SENSITIVE ENOUGH TO BE SET OFF BY FOOTSTEPS OR ANY VIBRATION ON THE FLOOR.
WE SAY TO GO AHEAD AND TURN ON THE FLASHLIGH IF THE ANSWER TO OUR QUESTION IS A YES ANSWER AND NOT TO TURN THE FLASHLIGH ON IF IT'S A NO ANSWER.
WE ACTUALLY ASKED ABOUT THE JANITOR, IF HE WAS IN THE ROOM WITH US.
AND THE FLASHLIGH INSTANTLY BEAMED ON.
Vargas: I HAD ACTUALLY KNOWN JIM, THE JANITOR, WHEN I TAUGHT IN THE BUILDING.
AND I SAID, "IT'S LISA.
I TAUGHT IN ROOM 104.
DO YOU REMEMBER ME?" AND I SAID, "WELL, I ALWAYS ENJOYED LISTENING TO THE RADIO YOU HAD ON YOUR CART.
" AND I KNEW THEN THA THAT WAS WHO IT WAS.
TO MAKE CONTACT WITH SOMEONE THAT YOU ACTUALLY KNEW THAT HAD PASSED ON, I CAN'T DESCRIBE HOW I FELT.
I ACTUALLY CRIED TO THINK THAT HE WAS STILL THERE.
Tooman: AFTER THE INVESTIGATION, LISA AND I BOTH FEL THAT THERE WAS MORE THAN ONE SPIRIT IN THE SCHOOL.
TO COME OUT WITH SO MUCH EVIDENCE JUST SAYS TO ME THAT THERE'S OBVIOUSLY SOMETHING HAUNTING THE BUILDING.
Vargas: THIS EXPERIENCE HAS CHANGED ME A LOT, ESPECIALLY SINCE ONE OF THE SPIRITS WE'VE BEEN TALKING TO IS SOMEONE I KNEW.
AND IT HAS GIVEN ME A SENSE OF PEACE AND A SENSE OF CALM TO KNOW THAT, EVEN AFTER DEATH, HIS BEING -- HIS ESSENCE -- IS STILL THERE, AND I THINK THAT GIVES US ALL HOPE.
Pinkerton: SOMETHING JUST PUNCHED ME IN THE CHEST.
I COULD FEEL I JUST WENT RIGHT THROUGH ME.
Lugo: SHE WAS FRANTIC.
YOU KNEW SOMETHING WAS THERE.
Pinkerton: MY STOMACH JUST DROPPED.
IT FELT LIKE MY HEAR WAS IN MY THROAT.
Lugo: THIS ENTITY WAS TRYING TO DOMINATE RACHAEL.
HE HAD CLAIMED HER.
Pinkerton: SOMETHING JUST PUNCHED ME IN THE CHEST.
Lugo: SHE WAS FRANTIC.
YOU KNEW SOMETHING WAS THERE.
Pinkerton: MY STOMACH JUST DROPPED.
Lugo: THIS ENTITY WAS TRYING TO DOMINATE RACHAEL.
Pinkerton: MY GHOST STORY BEGAN WHEN A SPIRI FOLLOWED MY MOTHER AND I HOME FROM THE CEMETERY.
MY MOTHER AND I, WE WERE ALWAYS REALLY INTERESTED IN THE HISTORY OF THE LAND THAT WAS AROUND US, AND SO WE WENT TO A COUPLE OF CEMETERIES THAT WERE LOCAL.
IT WAS REALLY NEAT TO BE ABLE TO SEE TANGIBLE PIECES OF HISTORY AND SEE THE DATES FROM 1850s, 1860s.
WE NEVER REALLY THOUGH THAT ANYTHING WOULD COME OF IT.
I NEVER BELIEVED IN GHOSTS.
I DIDN'T WATCH THE GHOST SHOWS.
I NEVER WAS REALLY INTERESTED IN SCARY MOVIES THAT HAD TO DO WITH ANYTHING LIKE THAT.
THEN WE STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS.
PARANORMAL ACTIVITY IN OUR HOUSE STARTED WITH SMALL THINGS, THINGS THAT YOU COULD EASILY DISMISS.
YOU'D WALK INTO A ROOM, AND YOU'D FEEL A REALLY HEAVY PRESENCE, LIKE THERE WAS JUST SOMETHING IN THE PIT OF YOUR STOMACH THAT MADE YOU FEEL SICK, OR YOU'D LEAVE SOMETHING ON THE COUNTER, AND IT WOULDN'T BE THERE WHEN YOU CAME BACK INTO THE ROOM.
I WENT UP INTO MY ROOM ONE NIGHT, AND I TURNED ON THE LIGHT, AND THE CEILING FAN WASN'T ON, BUT I HAVE A LONG CHAIN THAT COMES DOWN FROM IT, AND IT'S SWINGING IN SLOW CIRCLES, AND SUDDENLY IT STARTS GETTING FASTER AND FASTER AS I'M STANDING IN THE DOORWAY.
THEN IT STOPS SWINGING, AND IT FEELS LIKE SOMETHING JUST PUNCHED ME IN THE CHEST.
I COULD FEEL IT JUST WEN RIGHT THROUGH ME, OUT THROUGH THE DOORWAY.
THAT WAS WHEN I FINALLY STARTED THINKING THAT THERE WAS SOMETHING IN OUR HOUSE.
BY THAT POINT, I WASN'T GETTING ANY SLEEP.
EVERY NIGHT I COULD SEE THINGS MOVING IN MY ROOM.
I COULD FEEL PRESENCES.
I WAS EXHAUSTED, SO WE STARTED LOOKING ONLINE TO TRY AND SEE IF THERE WAS ANY GROUPS IN THE AREA THAT MIGHT BE ABLE TO COME OU AND TELL US IF THERE WAS SOMETHING IN OUR HOUSE.
WE WERE PRETTY DESPERATE.
Lugo: WHEN I GOT THE CALL FROM LAURA, RACHAEL'S MOTHER, SHE WAS FRANTIC.
SHE WAS ADAMANT ABOUT THE FAC THAT SHE WANTED OUR GROUP TO GO OUT THERE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
SO WE DROVE OUT, AND WE PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY AND JUST STARED AT THE HOUSE.
IT WAS INTIMIDATING.
WHEN WE GOT OUT OF THE CAR, THE PEOPLE I HAD WITH ME RIGHT AWAY SAID, "THERE'S SOMETHING HERE.
IT'S JUST INTENSE.
IT'S THICK.
" Pinkerton: AS SOON AS THEY WALKED INTO THE HOUSE, THEY SAID THAT THEY COULD FEEL SOMETHING, AND IT WAS A VERY HEAVY PRESENCE.
AND YOU FEEL SUCH A SENSE OF RELIEF TO HEAR THA FROM SOMEONE ELSE -- TO SAY THA THERE IS SOMETHING THERE, THAT YOU'RE NOT GOING CRAZY, THAT THIS IS REAL.
Lugo: WE SET UP OUR EQUIPMENT, AND I WENT INTO THE LIVING ROOM, AND I TOOK NUMEROUS PICTURES.
I USUALLY TAKE ABOUT 50, 60 TO 100 PICTURES IN ONE LOCATION.
AND I WENT BACK, AND I HI PLAYBACK TO LOOK AT THEM.
THE VERY FIRST PICTURE WAS THAT GIANT ORB.
IF THIS HAD BEEN A BALL OF DUST, I WOULD'VE SEEN I FROM A DISTANCE.
THAT WAS HOW BIG IT WAS.
Pinkerton: AND THEY'RE LOOKING AT IT, AND THEY SAY, "THERE'S YOUR PROOF.
YOU'VE GOT A GHOST RIGHT THERE.
" WE WERE KIND OF STUNNED, LOOKING AT EACH OTHER, SEEING THIS, BECAUSE IT WAS OUR FIRST TANGIBLE PIECE OF EVIDENCE WE'D HAD.
THAT WAS A REALLY EERIE FEELING.
DURING THE NIGHT, WHEN HECTOR AND HIS GROUP WERE DOING SOME OF THEIR INVESTIGATIONS, HE HAD VIDEO CAMERAS SET UP AROUND THE HOUSE AT DIFFERENT POINTS, AND HE HAD A TABLE SET UP WITH ALL THESE MONITORS SO WE COULD WATCH THEM, AND I WAS SITTING BEHIND THE TABLE, AND SUDDENLY I SEE AN ORB GO BY.
THIS BALL OF LIGHT, AND I WAS THINKING, "NO, THAT CAN'T BE RIGHT.
" IT WAS JUST AMAZING TO SEE.
I THOUGH THAT THEY WERE PROBABLY SOME OF THE SPIRITS THAT WERE IN OUR HOUSE.
Lugo: LATER THAT NIGHT, I SAW A FIGURE OF A LITTLE BOY, LIKE A CREATURE, UP ON THE SECOND FLOOR.
SO I STARTED TAKING PICTURES.
[ CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKING .]
WE CAPTURED AN ORB IN THE STAIRWELL.
AND I CONTINUED UPSTAIRS, AND IT WAS REAL THICK.
YOU KNEW SOMETHING WAS THERE, AND THE ONE PICTURE I TOOK IN THE BEDROOM WHERE ALL THE ACTIVITY WAS HAPPENING, YOU COULD SEE THE OUTLINE OF A HEAD PEEKING OUT.
BUT WE COULDN'T EXACTLY TELL WHAT IT WAS.
WE ZOOMED IN, AND YOU COULD START MAKING OU THE FEATURES OF THE GOATEE, THE HEAD, AND IT JUST LOOKED LIKE A -- A GOAT'S THE BEST WAY TO EXPLAIN IT, BUT WE KNOW IT'S NOT A GOAT, SO WE BASICALLY FIGURED IT -- WE'RE PROBABLY DEALING WITH A SHAPESHIFTER.
A SHAPESHIFTER IS AN INDIAN BELIEF THAT, WHEN A SPIRIT DIES, IT CAN ASSUME ANY FORM THAT IT WANTS TO, WHETHER IT'S A HUMAN ENTITY OR AN ANIMAL ENTITY.
Pinkerton: SO EERIE, JUST STARING AT THE PICTURE.
MY STOMACH JUST DROPPED.
IT FELT LIKE MY HEAR WAS IN MY THROAT.
IT WAS JUST SO HORRIBLE TO THINK THAT YOU HAD SOMETHING LIKE THAT IN YOUR HOUSE.
Lugo: WE BELIEVE THAT THIS SHAPESHIFTER WAS THE ONE THAT WAS CREATING ALL THE HAVOC IN THE HOUSE, SO WE SET UP WHAT WE CALL A SEVEN-DAY CANDLE CLEANSING.
Pinkerton: WE WEN AND WE BOUGHT ALL THESE CANDLES AND WE PUT THEM IN EACH ROOM AND WE HAD A BIBLE LAID OU IN EVERY ROOM TO PSALMS 23 AND WE HAD THE CANDLES GOING 24/7.
EVERY TIME ONE WOULD BURN OUT, WE'D LIKE ANOTHER ONE SO THA IT WAS NEVER DARK IN THE HOUSE.
AND WE'D GO THROUGH, AND WE'D READ PSALMS 23 IN EVERY ROOM EVERY NIGHT.
THERE WAS ONE ROOM IN PARTICULAR THAT I REALLY DIDN'T LIKE GOING IN.
AND THE CANDLE HAD GONE OUT IN THAT ROOM, AND I REALLY, REALLY DIDN'T WANT TO GO IN THERE, BUT THERE WAS NOBODY ELSE HOME AND I KNEW I HAD TO, AND I JUST KNEW SOMETHING WAS GONNA HAPPEN.
I COULD JUST FEEL IT IN THE PI OF MY STOMACH, THIS DREAD, AND I GO, AND I WALK TO THE END OF THE ROOM, AND I TURN AROUND TO LIGHT THE CANDLE, MY BACK IS TO THE DOOR, SUDDENLY I HEAR IT SLAM SHUT, AND I TURN AROUND, AND I GO, AND I'M TRYING TO OPEN IT, AND IT'S SHAKING ON THE OTHER SIDE, LIKE SOMETHING'S HOLDING IT, AND I CAN'T GET IT OPEN.
AND THEN ABOUT -- IT SEEMED LIKE HOURS TO ME, BUT IT WAS PROBABLY ONLY A FEW SECONDS, THE DOOR OPENS, AND I DID NOT GO BACK IN THAT ROOM AGAIN AFTER THAT.
IT'S ONE OF THE MOST FRIGHTENING EXPERIENCES THAT I'VE EVER HAD.
Lugo: THIS ENTITY WAS TRYING TO DOMINATE RACHAEL.
HE HAD CLAIMED HER.
THE EFFORT OF OUR TEAM WASN'T ENOUGH.
QUITE A FEW OF OUR MEMBERS IN OUR GROUP ARE INDIAN -- ANCESTORS WERE INDIANS.
AND WE DECIDED THAT WE WOULD GET THREE TRIBES TOGETHER AND TAKE THE BES FROM EACH TRIBE, AND WE TALKED TO THE ELDERS.
WE GOT COUNSELING TO GE AS MUCH INFORMATION AS POSSIBLE HOW TO DEAL WITH THIS PARTICULAR ENTITY, AND THEY TOLD US, BASICALLY, THIS IS WHAT WE NEED TO DO, TO SET UP TO DO THIS PARTICULAR CEREMONY.
Pinkerton: WHEN HECTOR AND HIS GROUP CAME OUT FOR THE SECOND CLEANSING, THEY HAD ME GO THROUGH AND READ A PRAYER IN EVERY ROOM, SAYING THAT I DIDN'T WAN THE SPIRITS HERE, THAT THEY WEREN' WELCOME HERE ANYMORE.
AND I WAS TERRIFIED TO DO IT.
I WAS AFRAID THAT SOMETHING WAS GONNA HAPPEN BECAUSE I KNEW THAT THEY WERE ANGRY.
HECTOR WAS TAKING PICTURES THE ENTIRE TIME, AND WHEN I LOOKED AT THE PICTURES, YOU CAN SEE THERE'S THIS MIST.
AND I HAD FELT LIKE THERE HAD BEEN SOMETHING FOLLOWING ME THE ENTIRE TIME FROM ROOM TO ROOM, AND TO HAVE CONFIRMATION OF THA WAS JUST FRIGHTENING -- VERY FRIGHTENING.
LATER THAT NIGHT, THEY MADE A SALT CIRCLE, AND IN EACH PART OF THE CIRCLE, THERE WAS A MEMBER FROM A DIFFERENT TRIBE, AND THEY ALL HAD DIFFERENT TYPES OF HERBS THAT THEY WERE GONNA BURN, AND THEY WERE GONNA SAY PRAYERS, AND THEY WERE GONNA DO A CLEANSING CEREMONY TO TRY TO BE RID OF THIS THING ONCE AND FOR ALL.
Lugo: AND AS SOON AS WE WALKED IN THE CIRCLE, EVERYBODY JUST STOPPED BECAUSE YOU HEARD THREE BIG BANGS -- BOOM, BOOM, BOOM -- UPSTAIRS LIKE IT WAS STOMPING ITS FOO OR LIKE A BOWLING BALL FELL, AND EVERYBODY JUST STOPPED AND LOOKED UP.
AND WERE WE SCARED? WERE WE FRIGHTENED? YOU CAN'T SAY NO BECAUSE, YES, YOU DON'T KNOW WHA YOU'RE DEALING WITH.
THIS WAS NOT SOMETHING TO PLAY WITH.
THIS WAS A MEAN ENTITY.
Pinkerton: WHEN WE GOT DONE, IT WAS A LOT LIGHTER FEELING IN THE HOUSE.
WE WERE HOPEFUL THAT THA HAD GOTTEN RID OF THE SPIRI OR IT PASSED ON TO WHEREVER IT GOES.
Lugo: AFTER THE CEREMONY WAS DONE, WE FELT BETTER, AND WE KNEW THAT THINGS WOULD BE BETTER.
Pinkerton: BIT BY BIT, THE ACTIVITY LEVEL STARTED GOING DOWN.
I FINALLY NOTICED I WAS ABLE TO SLEEP AT NIGHT.
IT STARTED GETTING QUIETER, AND NOW IT'S NOT COMPLETELY FREE OF ANY SPIRITS OR ANYTHING.
WE'VE DEFINITELY STILL GO A LOT OF ACTIVITY AND PRESENCES, BUT IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE CAN LIVE WITH.
Lugo: I RUN INTO A LOT OF NONBELIEVERS -- SKEPTICS -- ALL THE TIME, AND RACHAEL WAS ONE OF THEM.
UNTIL IT HAPPENS TO THEM, THEY'RE JUST NOT GONNA BELIEVE IT.
Pinkerton: THIS WHOLE EXPERIENCE HAS DEFINITELY MADE ME RETHINK A LOT OF THINGS AS FAR AS PARANORMAL ACTIVITY OR WHAT HAPPENS WHEN WE DIE.
IT'S ALMOST BEEN COMFORTING TO KNOW THAT IT'S NOT THE END.
I'VE HAD SO MUCH PHYSICAL AND TANGIBLE PROOF THAT I REALLY CAN'T DENY THAT THERE IS LIFE AFTER DEATH.
Martin: WE'VE HAD STORIES OF PEOPLE SEEING A LITTLE GIRL STANDING IN THAT WINDOW.
Harris: THAT LOOKS LIKE A SPIRI COMING OUT OF THE FIREPLACE.
Martin: YOU SEE A SHADOW PERSON JUMP UP, AND IT DISAPPEARS.
IT KIND OF FREAKS YOU OUT.
Martin: WE CAPTURED THIS SHADOW PERSON IN THE DOORWAY.
Harris: IT'S A CHILD-SIZED SHADOW IN THE WINDOW.
Martin: IT SEEMED LIKE A CHILD CRYING OUT FOR ATTENTION.
Harris: MY GHOST STORY BEGAN WHEN I BECAME A VOLUNTEER AT THE KENDRICK HOUSE IN CARTHAGE, MISSOURI.
THE KENDRICK HOUSE WAS BUIL IN THE LATE 1840s, AND, DURING THE CIVIL WAR, THE WAR WENT RIGHT THROUGH THEIR PROPERTY, AND THE HOUSE WAS USED AS A HOSPITAL FOR BOTH THE UNION AND THE CONFEDERATES.
AND THE KENDRICKS HAVE A TABLE THAT IS STILL IN THE HOUSE THAT WAS USED TO PERFORM SURGERIES DURING THE WAR, WHEN THE HOUSE WAS USED AS A HOSPITAL.
THE HOUSE HAS SEEN A LOT OF DEATHS.
THERE WERE DEATHS FROM TUBERCULOSIS.
THERE WERE SEVERAL CHILDREN THAT DIED THERE.
I'D HEARD A LOT OF STORIES ABOUT THE KENDRICK HOUSE BEING HAUNTED.
PEOPLE WOULD COME AND TELL US THEY WOULD SEE PEOPLE MOVING AROUND IN THE UPSTAIRS AND BEHIND THE WINDOWS DURING THE DAY WHEN THEY KNEW THERE WAS NO ONE IN THE HOUSE.
WHEN I FIRST STARTED OUT THERE, WE WOULD MAKE THIS BED AND STRAIGHTEN IT ALL UP.
IT WAS IN THE CHILDREN'S ROOM.
AND EVERY TIME WE'D STRAIGHTEN IT UP, THE NEXT TIME WE'D COME UP THERE, THE BED WOULD HAVE AN INDENTION IN I LIKE SOMEONE HAD SAT ON IT.
IT JUST MADE YOU FEEL A LITTLE ODD, LIKE THERE'S SOMETHING BEYOND THAT WE DON'T KNOW ABOUT.
LISA HAS A GROUP THAT SHE INVESTIGATES PARANORMAL ACTIVITY WITH, AND THEIR GROUP HAD CALLED AND ASKED US TO SET UP AN APPOINTMEN SO THEY COULD COME OU AND INVESTIGATE THE HOUSE.
Martin: I HAD BEEN IN THE HOUSE BEFORE BUT NOT AS AN INVESTIGATOR, AND IT WAS A VERY EXCITING OPPORTUNITY.
WHEN YOU APPROACH KENDRICK HOUSE, ESPECIALLY AT NIGHT, IT SITS ON A HILL ABOVE THE RIVER, SORT OF AN IMPOSING PRESENCE.
THE FIRST THING THAT WE DID IS WE TOOK PHOTOS AND THERMAL IMAGES AROUND THE PERIMETER OF THE HOUSE AND THE GROUNDS.
WHILE WE WERE AT THE BACK OF THE HOUSE, WE GOT A HEAT SIGNATURE IN THE BEDROOM WINDOW.
Harris: THEY HAD TAKEN THE THERMAL IMAGE FROM OUTSIDE, AND IT LOOKS LIKE A LITTLE PERSON IN THE WINDOW.
THERE WAS NOTHING IN THE WINDOW AT THE TIME.
THERE'S NO VENTS RIGHT THERE BY THAT WINDOW.
Martin: THERE WAS NO NATURAL EXPLANATION FOR THE HEAT SIGNATURE.
BUT THIS IS A WINDOW THAT, OFTEN, THE CURTAINS ARE MOVED WHEN YOU COME IN THE HOUSE AND PUSHED BACK LIKE SOMEONE'S BEEN STANDING THERE LOOKING OUT.
WE'VE HAD STORIES TOLD TO US OF PEOPLE SEEING A LITTLE GIRL STANDING IN THAT WINDOW.
Harris: SOMETHING WAS UP THERE, DEFINITELY, AND IT JUST WAS A CREEPY FEELING.
Martin: WE KNEW GOING IN THAT THERE WAS A LOT OF ACTIVITY CENTERED IN THE PARLOR AREA.
THE PARLOR IS A VERY ELEGANT ROOM.
BUT THEN THERE ARE TIMES THAT YOU FEEL A COLD A BREEZE BLOW THROUGH, ALTHOUGH THERE'S NO DRAFT, AND SO WE SET UP CAMERAS IN THAT ROOM.
Harris: LISA AND HER GROUP WERE TAKING SOME PHOTOS IN THE PARLOR AREA.
Martin: I WAS STANDING IN THE DINING ROOM, WHICH IS ACROSS THE HALLWAY FROM THE PARLOR, AND I WAS SNAPPING PHOTOS.
Harris: AND WHILE THEY DID THAT, THEY CAUGHT AN ORB.
Martin: IT WAS SELF-ILLUMINATING AND FLOATED PRETTY MUCH CLEAR ACROSS THE HOUSE.
Harris: AND IT DID HAVE A DEFINITE MOTION AND SHAPE.
IT JUST KIND OF MAKES THE HAIR ON THE BACK OF YOUR NECK STAND UP A LITTLE BIT.
Martin: WE WENT INTO THE ADDITION, WHICH IS AT THE BACK OF THE HOUSE, AND THERE'S A FIREPLACE IN THAT ROOM, AND WE WERE TAKING STILL PHOTOS AND TAKING VIDEO.
[ INDISTINCT CONVERSATION .]
AND ON THE VIDEO CAMERA, WE CAUGHT WHAT LOOKS LIKE A MIS FLYING THROUGH THE AIR.
[ INDISTINCT CONVERSATION .]
[ GASPS .]
IT MOVES RAPIDLY.
IT MOVES SEEMINGLY WITH DIRECTION, IT'S NOT SOMETHING JUST FLOATING.
IT'S MOVING UNDER INTELLIGENT THOUGHT.
Harris: IT'S ELONGATED AND SWIRLED UPWARD, AND IT LOOKS LIKE A SPIRI COMING OUT OF THE FIREPLACE.
IT'S JUST GOT A STRANGE, EERIE LOOK TO IT.
Martin: IT JUST TOOK MY BREATH AWAY.
I WAS JUST STUNNED AND JUST WISHED I KNEW EXACTLY WHO IT WAS AND WHY THEY WERE THERE.
[ GASPS .]
Harris: LISA SET UP A CAMERA IN THE ROOM THAT'S NEXT TO THE KITCHEN, AND THE CAMERA IS LOOKING INTO THE KITCHEN DOORWAY.
Martin: WE WERE SPECIFICALLY FOCUSING ON THE KITCHEN BECAUSE A CHILD'S VOICE HAS BEEN HEARD IN THE KITCHEN AREA.
AND WE WERE ABLE TO CAPTURE A SHADOW PERSON WALKING INTO THE DOORWAY.
Harris: IT'S NOT THERE IN THE FRAME BEFORE, SO IT'S SOMETHING THAT JUST APPEARED THERE.
IT'S A CHILD-SIZED SHADOW, AND IT'S JUST STANDING THERE.
Martin: THE SHADOW FIGURE IS JUST CHILLING.
IT'S COLD, DARK, STARING BACK AT YOU, AND IT KIND OF FREAKS YOU OUT.
WE SET UP A CAMERA SHOOTING INTO THE MAIN HALLWAY.
THERE WAS A FAN SITTING THERE BECAUSE THEY HAD BEEN CLEANING AND AIRING OUT THE HOUSE, AND WE JUST LEFT I WHERE IT WAS.
WE WERE STILL SETTING UP OTHER EQUIPMEN WHEN WE CAPTURED A SMALL SHADOW PERSON THAT WAS PLAYING PEEKABOO.
YOU SEE A SHADOW PERSON JUMP UP, AND THEN, JUST A FEW SECONDS AFTER THAT, ONE OF OUR INVESTIGATORS WALKS THROUGH, AND IT DISAPPEARS.
IT'S NOT A SHADOW BEING CAST BY A LIVING PERSON OR ANYONE THAT WALKS BY.
Harris: I COULDN'T BELIEVE WHAT I SAW.
THAT REALLY SCARED ME, BECAUSE WE HAD ACTUALLY SEEN TANGIBLE EVIDENCE THAT THERE WAS A LITTLE SHADOW PERSON OUT THERE.
Martin: IT WAS SHOCKING AND SAD AT THE SAME TIME, BECAUSE IT SEEMED LIKE A CHILD CRYING OUT FOR ATTENTION.
AFTER THAT, WE STARTED AN EVP SESSION.
WE ASKED THE NAME OF WHO WE WERE SPEAKING TO.
WHAT'S YOUR NAME? AND WE CAPTURED ON AUDIO AN EVP THAT SOUNDS LIKE, "CAROL.
" Harris: IT REALLY WAS STARTLING, BECAUSE THERE WAS A LITTLE GIRL THAT PASSED AWAY IN THE HOUSE NAMED CAROL.
TO HEAR THE VOICE OF A LITTLE SPIRIT GIRL WAS REALLY EERIE TO ME, BUT IT'S REALLY SAD TO THINK THAT A LITTLE GIRL IS STILL HERE.
Martin: WITH BOTH HAVING THE PEEKABOO VIDEO AND THE EVP OF "CAROL," WE DO BELIEVE THAT THIS IS HER SPIRIT.
THE EXPERIENCE THAT I HAD AT THE KENDRICK HOUSE CONFIRMED MY BELIEF IN THE PARANORMAL, AND IT ALSO HAS MADE ME A BELIEVER THAT THERE ARE CERTAIN PLACES THAT ARE ALMOS A BEACON LIGHT FOR SPIRITS.
Harris: LISA'S INVESTIGATION HAS DEFINITELY GIVEN VALIDITY TO THE THINGS THAT HAPPEN OUT THERE.
I HAVE SEEN THINGS AT THE HOUSE AND HEARD THINGS THAT HAS CONVINCED ME THAT THERE DEFINITELY IS SOMETHING PARANORMAL GOING ON OUT THERE.
James: WE CAPTURED A SET OF EYES GAZING BACK AT US FROM BEHIND A TOMBSTONE.
Marie: I ACTUALLY TOOK A PICTURE OF A SHADOW PERSON WALKING BY.
I DO BELIEVE THIS SPIRIT WAS EVIL.
James: IT'S DEFINITELY AN UNNERVING EXPERIENCE.
James: WE CAPTURED A SET OF EYES GAZING BACK AT US.
Marie: I ACTUALLY TOOK A PICTURE OF A SHADOW PERSON.
James: I COULDN'T BELIEVE WHAT I WAS SEEING.
MY GHOST STORY BEGAN WHEN I WENT TO THE LIBERTY CEMETERY IN ARIZONA.
THE REASON WHY WE WENT TO LIBERTY IS 'CAUSE WE HEARD ALL KINDS OF CLAIMS OF PARANORMAL ACTIVITY THAT WAS TAKING PLACE IN THE CEMETERY ITSELF, FROM THE CHILDREN OF THE TOWN TO THE SURROUNDING AREAS.
LIBERTY IS A VERY SMALL TOWN.
THERE'S NOT VERY MANY REMAINING BUILDINGS LEFT.
IT'S ABANDONED.
IT'S FORGOTTEN.
MY WIFE AND I, WE'VE BEEN TOGETHER AND INVESTIGATING FOR ALMOST 10 YEARS NOW.
Marie: AS WE WERE WALKING THROUGH THE CEMETERY, I STARTED ACTUALLY JUST TEARING UP.
LOOKING AT THE GRAVE SITES, THERE WAS TONS OF CHILDREN THAT WERE BURIED IN THE CEMETERY.
AND AS A MOTHER OF THREE, IT WAS SAD TO KNOW THAT SO MANY CHILDREN WERE LOST AT THAT YOUNG OF AGE.
AS WE WERE LEAVING THE LIBERTY CEMETERY, I WAS WALKING AHEAD A LITTLE BIT, AND ALL OF A SUDDEN, IT FELT LIKE LITTLE HANDS WRAPPING AROUND MY WAIST.
AND THEN I HEARD A YOUNG CHILD -- A LITTLE BOY -- SAY "MAMA.
" I TURNED AROUND AND SAID, "WHAT?" AND MY HUSBAND LOOKED AT ME AND SAID, "NO ONE SAID ANYTHING.
" James: I HAD ASKED HER WHAT WAS WRONG.
SHE HAD ACTUALLY TOLD ME THAT SHE FEL THE PRESENCE OF A CHILD, AND SHE ASKED ME IF I, TOO, HAD FELT THE PRESENCE OF THE CHILD, AND I TOLD HER THAT I DEFINITELY DID FEEL A SPIRIT ENERGY IN THAT PARTICULAR LOCATION.
AFTER THESE EVENTS TOOK PLACE, WE DECIDED THAT IT WAS TIME FOR US TO RETURN BACK HOME.
I BELIEVE THAT SENSITIVES ARE A LIGHTHOUSE -- THAT SPIRITS COME TO US TO COMMUNICATE, BECAUSE THEY KNOW THAT WE CAN LISTEN.
SO IT'S FAIRLY COMMON IN AN INVESTIGATION TO HAVE SPIRITS PIGGYBACK YOU.
AFTER THE INVESTIGATION, THE ACTIVITY STARTED TAKING PLACE IMMEDIATELY IN OUR HOME.
ONE NIGHT, I HAD TO RETURN HOME FROM WORK EARLY -- AROUND 12:30.
I WORK NIGHTS.
I ACTUALLY FELL ASLEEP WATCHING TV.
I WOKE UP AT 3:00 A.
M.
, HEARING A VERY DISTURBING GASPING FOR AIR COMING FROM THE DOORWAY OF MY HOUSE.
I LOOKED AT MY FRONT DOOR, AND THERE WAS A BOY STANDING THERE, STARING, JUST LOOKING RIGHT AT ME.
AND IMMEDIATELY, THIS BOY STARTED RUNNING RIGHT TOWARDS ME.
ABOUT HALFWAY FROM ME AND THE DOOR, HE JUST DISAPPEARED.
THE SPEED IN WHICH IT MOVED TOWARDS ME WAS SOMETHING THAT WAS JUST COMPLETELY UNNATURAL.
IT'S DEFINITELY AN UNNERVING EXPERIENCE.
I KNEW THAT IT HAD PIGGYBACKED US FROM THE SITE AT LIBERTY.
THERE WAS NO DOUBT IN MY MIND.
Marie: MY HUSBAND ACTUALLY WAS TESTING OUT THE CAMERA TO MAKE SURE OUR CAMERAS WERE READY FOR ANOTHER INVESTIGATION.
HE STARTED SNAPPING PICTURES OF ME WHILE I WAS SITTING ON THE COUCH, AND HE REALIZED THAT THERE WAS AN ORB THAT WAS OVER ME.
I DO BELIEVE IT WAS THE BOY THAT WRAPPED HIS ARMS AROUND ME.
I DO BELIEVE HE FOLLOWED US HOME 'CAUSE HE THOUGHT I WAS HIS MAMA.
THE BOY NEEDED TO BE REUNITED WITH HIS MOTHER.
James: OBVIOUSLY, HE WAS COMING TO US FOR HELP.
MY WIFE AND I HAD SAT DOWN AND TALKED TO ONE ANOTHER AND THOUGHT THAT IT WOULD BE A GOOD IDEA FOR A RETURN VISI OF THE LIBERTY CEMETERY TO CROSS OVER THIS BOY.
UPON US RETURNING, WE BEGAN HAVING ACTIVITY TAKE PLACE.
THE WHOLE TEAM NOTICED.
WE WERE GETTING EMF SPIKES ON OUR METERS.
Marie: THERE WAS A LOT OF FEAR, ACTUALLY, ENTERING IN ME AND OUR OTHER CREW TEAM MEMBERS.
James: WE WOULD SEE SOMETHING OUT OF THE CORNER OF OUR EYE.
WHEN WE WOULD INVESTIGATE IT, IT WOULD BE LIKE THEY WOULD JUST DISAPPEAR.
SO, MY WIFE, SHE WAS MAYBE ABOUT 15 PACES AWAY FROM US.
Marie: I WAS SNAPPING PICTURES.
AND THEN, WHEN I LOOKED DOWN AT MY CAMERA, I WAS PETRIFIED.
I ACTUALLY TOOK A PICTURE OF A SHADOW PERSON WALKING BY.
James: SHE CAPTURED A PHOTOGRAPH OF A SILHOUETTE, WHAT WE BELIEVE, OF A MALE, IN THE CEMETERY WHILE SHE WAS ALONE.
Marie: AT THAT TIME, I DID NOT WANT TO BE BY MYSELF.
I WANTED TO BE WITH SOMEBODY.
THAT'S THE FEAR I FELT.
James: WE ALSO CAUGHT A PHOTOGRAPH WHICH LOOKS LIKE A SET OF EYES GAZING BACK AT US FROM BEHIND OF A TOMBSTONE.
Marie: I DO BELIEVE THA THIS SPIRIT WAS MORE EVIL, AND HE DIDN'T LIKE I THAT WE WERE THERE TRYING TO HELP THIS SPIRIT BOY REUNITE WITH HIS MOTHER.
WHILE WE WERE WALKING THROUGH THE CEMETERY, THE CREW MEMBERS STARTED TAKING PICTURES.
[ CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKING .]
James: ALONG WITH THE SHADOW PLAY IN THE CEMETERY, WE CAPTURED AN APPARITION OF A HOODED FEMALE KNEELING AT A GRAVE SITE.
I COULDN'T BELIEVE WHAT I WAS SEEING.
WE THOUGHT IT TO BE PRETTY SIGNIFICANT -- DETAILED IMAGE.
IT VALIDATED OUR CLAIMS.
IT WAS AMAZING.
Marie: FIRST THING THAT COMES IN MY MIND IS SADNESS.
IT'S A MOTHER THAT HAS LOST HER CHILD AND WANTS TO BE REUNITED WITH HER SON.
James: IT WAS TIME FOR US TO CROSS OVER THIS SPIRIT BOY.
IT'S A SIMPLE PRAYER, ASKING GOD FOR THE CHILD TO HAVE SAFE PASSAGE.
Marie: AT FIRST, IT WAS LIKE A LOT OF HEAVINESS ON MY CHES THROUGHOUT THE PRAYER AND THE BLESSING.
James: THE MOOD JUST BEGAN TO QUICKLY CHANGE.
IT WENT FROM A HIGH-LEVEL ACTIVITY TO JUST MILDLY DYING DOWN TO NOTHING.
Marie: AS SOON AS MY HUSBAND WAS ACTUALLY DONE WITH THE BLESSING, THERE WAS NO PRESSURE ON MY CHEST.
IT ACTUALLY FELT, LIKE, A LITTLE BIT MORE RELAXING.
James: THERE WAS NO COLD SPOTS, NO SHADOW PLAY, ALMOST LIKE THE CEMETERY WAS KIND OF AT REST NOW.
AFTER CROSSING OVER THIS CHILD, AS SOON AS WE HAD COME BACK HOME, THE ACTIVITY HAD CEASED, THUS VERIFYING THAT THIS CHILD DID CROSS OVER, AND I THINK THAT THE PROOF OF THE WOMAN SHOWING UP IN OUR PHOTOGRAPH IS SYMBOLIC, AND MAYBE SHE SHOWED UP JUST TO PICK HIM UP AND TAKE HIM WITH HER.
Marie: I WAS GLAD THAT THE BOY WAS GONE.
I FELT A LOT OF SADNESS WHILE HE WAS AROUND, AND I KNEW HE WANTED HIS MOM, SO, WHEN HE ACTUALLY WAS GONE, I WAS EXCITED AND HAPPY THA THERE WAS NO MORE EXPERIENCES.
James: WE CAME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT NOT ONLY WAS THE CEMETERY HAUNTED JUST BY RESIDUAL-TYPE HAUNTINGS, THAT THESE HAUNTINGS WERE ACTUALLY INTELLIGENT, INTELLIGENT ENOUGH TO COMMUNICATE WITH US, EVEN SO FAR AS FOLLOWING US HOME.
Marie: I KNOW THA THERE ARE SPIRITS OUT THERE.
I HAVE HEARD SPIRITS, AND I HAVE SEEN SPIRITS AT LIBERTY CEMETERY.
MY EXPERIENCES TAUGHT ME THAT I COULD ACTUALLY HELP SPIRITS CROSS OVER, AND I WAS EXCITED THAT I WAS ABLE TO HELP THEM.
Nathan: I WAS LIKE, "WHAT WAS THAT?" Christina: "THERE'S SOMEBODY IN HERE.
" -Nathan: I JUMPED UP.
-Christina: HE'S JUST PANICKED.
Nathan: MY ADRENALINE WAS PUMPING.
Christina: IMMEDIATELY, WE KNEW IT HAD TO BE SOME KIND OF AN ENTITY.
Nathan: I'VE SEEN I PHYSICALLY MOVE STUFF.
WHOA! DID YOU GUYS SEE THAT? BUT NOW WE'RE GETTING HURT.
Christina: IMMEDIATELY, WE KNEW IT HAD TO BE SOME KIND OF AN ENTITY.
Nathan: I'VE SEEN I PHYSICALLY MOVE STUFF.
WHOA! DID YOU GUYS SEE THAT? BUT NOW WE'RE GETTING HURT.
MY GHOST STORY BEGAN WHEN A REALTOR WAS SHOWING ME A HOME IN HASTINGS, NEBRASKA.
FOUR YEARS AGO, ME AND MY WIFE WERE LOOKING FOR A HOUSE.
Christina: THIS HOUSE, IN PARTICULAR, HAD EVERYTHING WE WERE LOOKING FOR.
WE WANTED TO BE ABLE TO EXPAND, AND THIS ONE HAD NICE, OPEN SPACES.
Nathan: WE WERE THERE WITH THE REALTOR, LOOKING AT THE BASEMENT, AND WE STARTED HEARING FOOTSTEPS UPSTAIRS.
Christina: IT ALMOST SOUNDED LIKE SOMEBODY WAS WEARING BOOTS ON A HARDWOOD FLOOR.
Nathan: THE REALTOR GOES UP THERE AND LOOKS AROUND, AND THEN HE CAME BACK AND WAS LIKE, "THAT WAS STRANGE.
" HE'S LIKE, "THERE'S NOBODY HERE.
" Christina: AS WE WERE LOOKING AROUND THE HOUSE, WE KEPT HEARING I AND HEARING IT, BUT WE DIDN'T THINK TOO MUCH OF IT AT THE TIME.
Nathan: IT DIDN'T AFFECT ME ON PURCHASING THE HOUSE BECAUSE I DIDN'T BELIEVE IN ANY PARANORMAL ACTIVITY.
WHEN WE FIRST MOVED IN, THERE WAS LITTLE THINGS THAT WOULD HAPPEN.
YOU KNOW, OUT OF THE CORNER OF YOUR EYE, YOU SEE SOMETHING, AND YOU'D GET UP AND LOOK, AND THERE'D BE NOBODY THERE.
THE ACTIVITY PICKED UP A LITTLE BIT MORE WHEN WE HAD OUR SON.
TOYS OF HIS WOULD STAR TURNING ON.
Christina: IT JUST STARTED BUILDING TO OBJECTS MOVING, CABINET DOORS BEING OPEN.
Nathan: I SAW IT OPENING, AND I WAS LIKE, "NO, THAT DIDN'T JUST HAPPEN.
" SO I SHUT IT.
20 MINUTES LATER, IT OPENS AGAIN.
Christina: THEY'VE TURNED ON SAWS.
THEY'VE TURNED ON VACUUMS.
IT DOES SCARE US THAT OUR KIDS ARE IN THE HOUSE WITH WHATEVER ENERGY IS THERE.
Nathan: AS A PARENT, YOU WAN TO PROTECT YOUR CHILDREN.
BUT HOW CAN YOU WHEN YOU CAN' PHYSICALLY SEE THIS ENTITY OR SPIRIT THAT'S HAUNTING THE HOUSE? Christina: ONE NIGHT, I WAS TAKING A SHOWER, AND I HEARD LOUD FOOTSTEPS COME RUNNING INTO THE BATHROOM.
AND I FELT MY LEG GET SMACKED.
Nathan: I WENT RUNNING IN TO SEE WHA HAPPENED.
I COULDN'T BELIEVE IT.
Christina: WE KNEW IT HAD TO BE SOME KIND OF AN ENTITY, AND IT WAS SCARING US, BEING IN OUR HOUSE.
SO WE GOT ONLINE AND WE DID RESEARCH TO SEE IF WE COULD FIGURE OU WHAT'S GOING ON, AND I ACTUALLY GOT AHOLD OF SOME RECORDS OF WHO PREVIOUSLY LIVED IN THE HOUSE.
Nathan: WE'VE TRACED IT BACK TO WHERE IT WAS A FLAT LAND AND THERE WAS NOTHING BUILT THERE BEFORE.
WE FOUND THAT THERE WAS A FEW DIFFERENT OWNERS, BUT IT DOESN'T SAY WHETHER THEY DIED IN THE HOUSE.
BUT I PERSONALLY THINK THAT ONE OF THE OWNERS IS STILL THERE.
Christina: ONE NIGHT, WE DECIDED TO GO INTO THE BASEMEN AND DO SOME INVESTIGATING.
Nathan: WE STARTED TAKING PHOTOS TO SEE IF MAYBE IT CAN KIND OF EXPLAIN SOME OF THE ACTIVITY THAT WAS HAPPENING.
Christina: ONE OF THE PICTURES WE TOOK WAS ACTUALLY A WHITE MIST.
IT WAS KIND OF FLA AND STOOD OUT AGAINST THE WALL.
Nathan: I WENT OVER TO THAT AREA, MAKING SURE THERE WAS NOTHING THERE, AND THAT'S WHEN I WAS LIKE, "OKAY.
THERE IS SOMETHING ELSE IN THIS ROOM WITH ME.
" ANOTHER TIME, MY WIFE WAS TAKING PICTURES.
ALL OF A SUDDEN, SHE SAID, "WHAT WAS THAT?" Christina: IT CAUGHT MY EYE BECAUSE IT WAS RED, IT WAS BRIGHT.
Nathan: IT'S A FAIRLY LARGE ORB, AND IT HAS ITS OWN GLOW.
Christina: I REMEMBER FEELING UNEASY, THAT SOMETHING'S TRYING TO SHOW ITSELF.
MAYBE IT'S TRYING TO BUILD ON ENERGY.
Nathan: A FEW WEEKS LATER, I WAS HOME ALONE, AND I KEP HEARING NOISES DOWNSTAIRS, SO I JUST SET UP A LITTLE CAMERA.
AND THEN, WHEN I STARTED ASKING THE SPIRIT QUESTIONS THE DOOR ACTUALLY OPENED ON ITS OWN.
Christina: MY HEART STARTED RACING WHEN I SAW IT, BECAUSE THEY'RE SALOON-STYLE DOORS, AND THEY DON'T OPEN ON THEIR OWN 'CAUSE THEY LATCH, SO I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THAT WAS.
WE HAD SO MUCH ACTIVITY GOING ON ALL THE TIME.
WE KEPT HEARING I BANG IN THE BASEMENT, AND WE WOULD ALWAYS GO DOWN THE STAIRS AND LOOK TO SEE WHAT THAT WAS.
Nathan: THE SMOKE ALARM IN OUR BASEMENT KEPT FALLING, AND IT'S ACTUALLY ONE THAT YOU HAVE TO TWIS AND TURN AND LOCK INTO PLACE.
IT KEPT FALLING ON THE FLOOR, AND THEN THE BATTERIES WOULD ALWAYS BE DEAD IN IT.
I MEAN, WE COULD REPLACE IT, AND THEN THE NEXT DAY, IT WOULD FALL ON THE FLOOR AND THE BATTERY'S DEAD AGAIN.
SO, WE DECIDED TO GO DOWNSTAIRS ONE EVENING WITH THE AUDIO RECORDER AND ASK THE SPIRI SOME QUESTIONS.
Christina: NATE ASKED, "IS THIS A WARNING THAT YOU'RE GIVING US WITH THE SMOKE DETECTOR?" Nathan: AND THEN, WHEN WE WERE REVIEWING THE EVIDENCE, WE GOT THIS VOICE THAT SAID Christina: IT WAS DEFINITELY A DEEP MAN'S VOICE.
YOU COULD HEAR MUMBLING, AND THEN YOU HEAR, "MORE TOWARD A HAUNTING.
" Nathan: WAS THAT A WARNING FOR US? Christina: WHEN I HEARD THAT EVP, I WAS COMPLETELY FLOORED.
Nathan: IT SCARED BOTH OF US.
WE ACTUALLY GRABBED OUR KIDS AND JUST LEFT THE HOUSE.
WE DIDN'T PACK ANYTHING.
WE WERE JUST LIKE, "WE'RE LEAVING," AND WENT AND STAYED AT HER PARENTS' HOUSE FOR THE NIGHT.
AFTER THAT, I SET UP EQUIPMEN AROUND THE HOUSE.
AND ONE NIGHT, THE VIDEO RECORDER IN THE WASHER-AND-DRYER ROOM GOT THIS FIGURE THAT MOVES FROM THE LEFT SIDE OF THE SCREEN TO THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE SCREEN AND THEN GOES THROUGH THE WALL.
Christina: I COULDN'T BELIEVE MY EYES.
YOU COULD SEE THERE'S NOTHING BELOW THE ORB.
THERE'S NO WAY ANYTHING COULD BE LEVITATING LIKE THAT.
Nathan: IT FREAKED ME OUT.
Christina: WE WANTED TO GET OUT OF THERE.
WE DID TRY AND SELL THE HOUSE.
Nathan: NOBODY ENDED UP BUYING THE HOUSE BECAUSE OF THE ACTIVITY THAT WAS HAPPENING, SO WE TOOK IT OFF THE MARKE AND DECIDED WE'RE GONNA STAY HERE AND JUST DEAL WITH IT.
Christina: IF THINGS WERE TO CHANGE AND START TO FEEL, LIKE, VIOLENT OR DANGEROUS, I WOULD DEFINITELY MOVE.
I WOULD NOT WANT MY KIDS AROUND ANYTHING LIKE THAT.
THERE IS DEFINITELY SOME TYPE OF A SPIRIT IN OUR HOUSE.
IT WANTS ITS PRESENCE KNOWN.
WE'VE HEARD EVPs, WE'VE GOT ORBS, WE'VE PHYSICALLY BEEN TOUCHED.
Nathan: THIS EXPERIENCE, IT'S CHANGED MY OPINION ON EVERYTHING.
AT FIRST, I WAS A SKEPTIC.
IF YOU ASKED ME ABOUT A GHOST, I WOULD JUST SAY, "NO, WHATEVER.
" I AM NOW 100% BELIEVER.
Christina: I THINK THE SPIRITS WILL ALWAYS BE IN THE HOUSE.
THEY'RE COMFORTABLE THERE, AND I DON'T THINK THAT THEY'RE PLANNING ON LEAVING ANYTIME SOON.
[ GASPS .]
AND WE CAPTURED A SMALL SHADOW PERSON PLAYING PEEKABOO.
IT KIND OF FREAKS YOU OUT.
Nathan: WE GOT THIS VOICE THAT SAID Christina: HE SAID, "THERE'S SOMEBODY IN HERE.
" Nathan: AND YOU COULD SEE I PHYSICALLY MOVE STUFF.
Christina: IT JUST MADE ME FEEL SICK.
THERE IS DEFINITELY SOME TYPE OF A SPIRIT IN OUR HOUSE.
Tooman: I INSTANTLY JUST STOPPED.
IT WAS SOMETHING THA I NEVER EXPECTED TO SEE.
Vargas: IT JUST REINFORCES YOUR BELIEF THAT THE SPIRITS ARE THERE.
Marie: I TOOK A PICTURE OF A SHADOW PERSON.
James: WE CAPTURED A SET OF EYES GAZING BACK AT US.
Marie: IT SCARED ME TO DEATH.
Pinkerton: SUDDENLY, I SEE AN ORB GO BY.
I HEAR THE DOOR SLAM SHUT.
Lugo: THIS ENTITY WAS TRYING TO DOMINATE RACHAEL.
HE HAD CLAIMED HER.
Pinkerton: SO HORRIBLE TO THINK THAT YOU HAD SOMETHING LIKE THA IN YOUR HOUSE.
Vargas: TO SEE A PHOTO OF A SPIRI SHAKES YOU TO YOUR KNEES.
Tooman: I WAS JUST FROZEN, LOOKING AT THIS APPARITION OF A PERSON.
Vargas: MY GHOST STORY BEGAN WHEN I STEPPED INSIDE WELLINGTON JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL.
THE WELLINGTON JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL WAS BUILT IN 1928, AND IT OPENED IN 1929, AND IT HOUSED STUDENTS GRADES 7 THROUGH 12.
I ACTUALLY TAUGHT IN THA BUILDING FOR ABOUT FIVE YEARS.
THE NEW HIGH SCHOOL WAS BUIL IN 1960.
AND AT THAT POINT, OUR BUILDING WAS VIRTUALLY ABANDONED.
THE SCHOOL BOARD HAS TRIED TO SELL IT.
BUT THE COMMUNITY THEATER HAS TAKEN IT OVER, AND WE USE THE STAGE AND A LOT OF THE ROOMS FOR OUR PRODUCTIONS.
AND IT WAS THEN THAT WE FIRST STARTED NOTICING THERE WERE SOME ODD THINGS GOING ON IN THE BUILDING.
WE WOULD BE IN PRODUCTION, AND PROPS WOULD COME UP MISSING THAT NO ONE HAD TOUCHED.
WE'VE HAD PEOPLE LOCKED OU OF DRESSING ROOMS.
ONE OF THE THINGS THAT REALLY STARTLED US WAS A FRIEND OF MINE AND I WERE ON STAGE, AND WE WERE BOTH LOOKING UP AT THE BALCONY.
AND ALL OF A SUDDEN, WE SAW THIS PINK LIGH JUST KIND OF GO ACROSS.
IT DEFINITELY CREEPED US OUT.
WE HAD HAD SO MANY INCIDENTS OCCUR THAT WERE JUST UNSETTLING.
AND, IN THE MEANTIME, WE HAD STARTED A CHILDREN'S THEATER GROUP, AND WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT THERE WAS REALLY NOTHING GOING ON IN THE BUILDING THAT COULD BE HARMFUL TO THE KIDS.
CARRIE, I KNEW, WAS PART OF THIS PARANORMAL INVESTIGATION TEAM.
Tooman: LISA CONTACTED OUR GROUP ABOUT DOING THE INVESTIGATION.
IT WAS PRETTY EXCITING, OF COURSE, BECAUSE I WENT TO SCHOOL THERE.
Vargas: WE ARRIVED THROUGH THE FRONT DOORS, AND WE STARTED TO SET PEOPLE UP IN VARIOUS PLACES.
Tooman: THE ENVIRONMENT FEL UNEASY AND JUST OMINOUS.
THE FIRST LOCATION THAT WE WEN AND CHECKED OU WAS ONE OF THE GIRLS' RESTROOMS.
Vargas: THAT WAS ONE OF THE PLACES THAT WE'D HAD THE BAD FEELINGS.
PEOPLE HAD HAD THE STALL DOORS HELD SHUT ON THEM AND THERE WAS JUST A GENERAL CREEPY FEELING IN THE BATHROOM.
Tooman: I SET UP AN EVP SESSION TO SEE IF WE COULD MAKE CONTAC WITH ANYONE.
AND WE HAD ACTUALLY CAUGHT AN EVP THAT SOUNDS LIKE IT'S SAYING, "KEEP PRAYING YOU'RE ALIVE.
" Vargas: WHEN YOU HEAR THAT, IT JUST MAKES YOU TERRIFIED.
IT JUST SHOOK US UP QUITE A BIT.
Tooman: I FELT CHILLED AND JUST KIND OF IN WONDER OF WHAT EXACTLY DO THEY MEAN BY THAT? Vargas: IT JUST SENT CHILLS, ABSOLUTELY, UP MY SPINE.
Tooman: AFTER THE GIRLS' RESTROOM, WE DECIDED TO HEAD ON DOWN TO THE AUDITORIUM.
WE STARTED IN THE BALCONY.
Vargas: CARRIE WAS TAKING PICTURES.
[ CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKING .]
ONE OF THE PICTURES SHE TOOK I ABSOLUTELY COULD NOT BELIEVE BECAUSE THERE WAS A FIGURE THERE ON THE STAGE.
I BELIEVE THAT WAS THE PINK LADY.
Tooman: FROM THE RESEARCH THAT WE'VE DONE, WE'VE FOUND THAT THERE WAS A LADY THAT WAS A SECRETARY AT THE SCHOOL YEARS AGO.
AND SHE WAS ON HER WAY TO SCHOOL ONE MORNING, AND SHE WAS TRYING TO CROSS THE RAILROAD TRACKS, AND SHE DID NOT MAKE IT.
SHE WAS HIT BY THE TRAIN.
WE KIND OF BELIEVE THAT SHE'S STILL AT THE SCHOOL.
Vargas: TO SEE A PHOTO OF A SPIRI JUST SHAKES YOU TO YOUR KNEES.
TO BE ABLE TO CAPTURE THA ON FILM AND TO KNOW THAT THERE IS SOMETHING THERE THAT YOU FELT, THAT YOU'VE HEARD, AND TO BE ABLE TO SEE IT, IT JUST REINFORCES YOUR BELIEF THAT THE SPIRITS ARE THERE.
TO THINK THAT THERE WAS A SPIRIT ON THE STAGE WHEN WE HAD BEEN ON THE STAGE AS WELL WAS DEFINITELY SCARY.
Tooman: AFTER THE AUDITORIUM, WE ACTUALLY HEADED INTO THE GYMNASIUM.
Vargas: THE GYMNASIUM HAS ALWAYS BEEN A REAL HOTBED OF ACTIVITY.
Tooman: WE HAD HAD A LO OF PEOPLE TELL US THAT, WHILE THEY WERE IN THERE, THEY DEFINITELY HAD UNEASY-TYPE FEELINGS, BEING-WATCHED-TYPE FEELINGS.
SOMEONE ELSE IS IN THE GYMNASIUM BESIDES THEMSELVES.
I WAS ACTUALLY FILMING WHILE I WAS IN THERE WITH MY I.
R.
CAMERA.
AND WE HAD, YOU KNOW, RAN DOWN TO THE GIRLS' LOCKER ROOM AND CAME BACK UPSTAIRS, AND WHILE I WAS COMING BACK UP THE STAIRS, I WAS ACTUALLY PANNING WITH MY CAMERA.
I INSTANTLY JUST STOPPED BECAUSE I WAS FIXATED ON SOMETHING THAT WAS BACK IN THE BACK PAR OF THE GYMNASIUM RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE DOOR.
I WAS JUST BASICALLY FROZEN, LOOKING AT THIS APPARITION OF A PERSON.
LATER, I ACTUALLY SAW SOMETHING ON THE VIDEO EVIDENCE.
THERE WAS SOMETHING THERE, SOMETHING THAT I HAD JUST SEEN.
IT KIND OF JUST BLEW MY MIND.
IT WAS SOMETHING THAT I NEVER EXPECTED TO SEE.
Vargas: WHEN I SAW THE VIDEO OF THAT SHADOW FIGURE, I COULDN'T BELIEVE IT.
I WAS SHOCKED.
I WAS SO SCARED.
Tooman: IT'S POSSIBLY AN OLD JANITOR THAT I WAS THERE WITH WHENEVER I WENT TO SCHOOL.
HE MAY STILL BE HAUNTING THE SCHOOL.
A FEW YEARS EARLIER, HE HAD ACTUALLY JUST COMMITTED SUICIDE.
Vargas: I ACTUALLY KNEW HIM WHEN I TAUGHT THERE IN THE BUILDING.
I BELIEVE THE JANITOR HAUNTS THE BUILDING BECAUSE HE LOVED IT SO MUCH.
THAT WAS HIS LIFE, TO TAKE CARE OF IT.
I THINK THAT WAS WHERE HE WAS THE HAPPIEST IN HIS WHOLE LIFE AND THAT'S WHY HE LIKES TO STAY THERE.
Tooman: AFTER CAPTURING THE APPARITION ON MY I.
R.
CAMERA, I DECIDED THAT WE NEEDED TO TRY TO GET SOME FURTHER COMMUNICATION, AND, A LOT OF TIMES, I USE A FLASHLIGHT SESSION.
I TAKE YOUR REGULAR, EVERYDAY FLASHLIGH AND SET IT SO IT'S SENSITIVE ENOUGH TO BE TURNED ON BUT NOT SENSITIVE ENOUGH TO BE SET OFF BY FOOTSTEPS OR ANY VIBRATION ON THE FLOOR.
WE SAY TO GO AHEAD AND TURN ON THE FLASHLIGH IF THE ANSWER TO OUR QUESTION IS A YES ANSWER AND NOT TO TURN THE FLASHLIGH ON IF IT'S A NO ANSWER.
WE ACTUALLY ASKED ABOUT THE JANITOR, IF HE WAS IN THE ROOM WITH US.
AND THE FLASHLIGH INSTANTLY BEAMED ON.
Vargas: I HAD ACTUALLY KNOWN JIM, THE JANITOR, WHEN I TAUGHT IN THE BUILDING.
AND I SAID, "IT'S LISA.
I TAUGHT IN ROOM 104.
DO YOU REMEMBER ME?" AND I SAID, "WELL, I ALWAYS ENJOYED LISTENING TO THE RADIO YOU HAD ON YOUR CART.
" AND I KNEW THEN THA THAT WAS WHO IT WAS.
TO MAKE CONTACT WITH SOMEONE THAT YOU ACTUALLY KNEW THAT HAD PASSED ON, I CAN'T DESCRIBE HOW I FELT.
I ACTUALLY CRIED TO THINK THAT HE WAS STILL THERE.
Tooman: AFTER THE INVESTIGATION, LISA AND I BOTH FEL THAT THERE WAS MORE THAN ONE SPIRIT IN THE SCHOOL.
TO COME OUT WITH SO MUCH EVIDENCE JUST SAYS TO ME THAT THERE'S OBVIOUSLY SOMETHING HAUNTING THE BUILDING.
Vargas: THIS EXPERIENCE HAS CHANGED ME A LOT, ESPECIALLY SINCE ONE OF THE SPIRITS WE'VE BEEN TALKING TO IS SOMEONE I KNEW.
AND IT HAS GIVEN ME A SENSE OF PEACE AND A SENSE OF CALM TO KNOW THAT, EVEN AFTER DEATH, HIS BEING -- HIS ESSENCE -- IS STILL THERE, AND I THINK THAT GIVES US ALL HOPE.
Pinkerton: SOMETHING JUST PUNCHED ME IN THE CHEST.
I COULD FEEL I JUST WENT RIGHT THROUGH ME.
Lugo: SHE WAS FRANTIC.
YOU KNEW SOMETHING WAS THERE.
Pinkerton: MY STOMACH JUST DROPPED.
IT FELT LIKE MY HEAR WAS IN MY THROAT.
Lugo: THIS ENTITY WAS TRYING TO DOMINATE RACHAEL.
HE HAD CLAIMED HER.
Pinkerton: SOMETHING JUST PUNCHED ME IN THE CHEST.
Lugo: SHE WAS FRANTIC.
YOU KNEW SOMETHING WAS THERE.
Pinkerton: MY STOMACH JUST DROPPED.
Lugo: THIS ENTITY WAS TRYING TO DOMINATE RACHAEL.
Pinkerton: MY GHOST STORY BEGAN WHEN A SPIRI FOLLOWED MY MOTHER AND I HOME FROM THE CEMETERY.
MY MOTHER AND I, WE WERE ALWAYS REALLY INTERESTED IN THE HISTORY OF THE LAND THAT WAS AROUND US, AND SO WE WENT TO A COUPLE OF CEMETERIES THAT WERE LOCAL.
IT WAS REALLY NEAT TO BE ABLE TO SEE TANGIBLE PIECES OF HISTORY AND SEE THE DATES FROM 1850s, 1860s.
WE NEVER REALLY THOUGH THAT ANYTHING WOULD COME OF IT.
I NEVER BELIEVED IN GHOSTS.
I DIDN'T WATCH THE GHOST SHOWS.
I NEVER WAS REALLY INTERESTED IN SCARY MOVIES THAT HAD TO DO WITH ANYTHING LIKE THAT.
THEN WE STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS.
PARANORMAL ACTIVITY IN OUR HOUSE STARTED WITH SMALL THINGS, THINGS THAT YOU COULD EASILY DISMISS.
YOU'D WALK INTO A ROOM, AND YOU'D FEEL A REALLY HEAVY PRESENCE, LIKE THERE WAS JUST SOMETHING IN THE PIT OF YOUR STOMACH THAT MADE YOU FEEL SICK, OR YOU'D LEAVE SOMETHING ON THE COUNTER, AND IT WOULDN'T BE THERE WHEN YOU CAME BACK INTO THE ROOM.
I WENT UP INTO MY ROOM ONE NIGHT, AND I TURNED ON THE LIGHT, AND THE CEILING FAN WASN'T ON, BUT I HAVE A LONG CHAIN THAT COMES DOWN FROM IT, AND IT'S SWINGING IN SLOW CIRCLES, AND SUDDENLY IT STARTS GETTING FASTER AND FASTER AS I'M STANDING IN THE DOORWAY.
THEN IT STOPS SWINGING, AND IT FEELS LIKE SOMETHING JUST PUNCHED ME IN THE CHEST.
I COULD FEEL IT JUST WEN RIGHT THROUGH ME, OUT THROUGH THE DOORWAY.
THAT WAS WHEN I FINALLY STARTED THINKING THAT THERE WAS SOMETHING IN OUR HOUSE.
BY THAT POINT, I WASN'T GETTING ANY SLEEP.
EVERY NIGHT I COULD SEE THINGS MOVING IN MY ROOM.
I COULD FEEL PRESENCES.
I WAS EXHAUSTED, SO WE STARTED LOOKING ONLINE TO TRY AND SEE IF THERE WAS ANY GROUPS IN THE AREA THAT MIGHT BE ABLE TO COME OU AND TELL US IF THERE WAS SOMETHING IN OUR HOUSE.
WE WERE PRETTY DESPERATE.
Lugo: WHEN I GOT THE CALL FROM LAURA, RACHAEL'S MOTHER, SHE WAS FRANTIC.
SHE WAS ADAMANT ABOUT THE FAC THAT SHE WANTED OUR GROUP TO GO OUT THERE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
SO WE DROVE OUT, AND WE PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY AND JUST STARED AT THE HOUSE.
IT WAS INTIMIDATING.
WHEN WE GOT OUT OF THE CAR, THE PEOPLE I HAD WITH ME RIGHT AWAY SAID, "THERE'S SOMETHING HERE.
IT'S JUST INTENSE.
IT'S THICK.
" Pinkerton: AS SOON AS THEY WALKED INTO THE HOUSE, THEY SAID THAT THEY COULD FEEL SOMETHING, AND IT WAS A VERY HEAVY PRESENCE.
AND YOU FEEL SUCH A SENSE OF RELIEF TO HEAR THA FROM SOMEONE ELSE -- TO SAY THA THERE IS SOMETHING THERE, THAT YOU'RE NOT GOING CRAZY, THAT THIS IS REAL.
Lugo: WE SET UP OUR EQUIPMENT, AND I WENT INTO THE LIVING ROOM, AND I TOOK NUMEROUS PICTURES.
I USUALLY TAKE ABOUT 50, 60 TO 100 PICTURES IN ONE LOCATION.
AND I WENT BACK, AND I HI PLAYBACK TO LOOK AT THEM.
THE VERY FIRST PICTURE WAS THAT GIANT ORB.
IF THIS HAD BEEN A BALL OF DUST, I WOULD'VE SEEN I FROM A DISTANCE.
THAT WAS HOW BIG IT WAS.
Pinkerton: AND THEY'RE LOOKING AT IT, AND THEY SAY, "THERE'S YOUR PROOF.
YOU'VE GOT A GHOST RIGHT THERE.
" WE WERE KIND OF STUNNED, LOOKING AT EACH OTHER, SEEING THIS, BECAUSE IT WAS OUR FIRST TANGIBLE PIECE OF EVIDENCE WE'D HAD.
THAT WAS A REALLY EERIE FEELING.
DURING THE NIGHT, WHEN HECTOR AND HIS GROUP WERE DOING SOME OF THEIR INVESTIGATIONS, HE HAD VIDEO CAMERAS SET UP AROUND THE HOUSE AT DIFFERENT POINTS, AND HE HAD A TABLE SET UP WITH ALL THESE MONITORS SO WE COULD WATCH THEM, AND I WAS SITTING BEHIND THE TABLE, AND SUDDENLY I SEE AN ORB GO BY.
THIS BALL OF LIGHT, AND I WAS THINKING, "NO, THAT CAN'T BE RIGHT.
" IT WAS JUST AMAZING TO SEE.
I THOUGH THAT THEY WERE PROBABLY SOME OF THE SPIRITS THAT WERE IN OUR HOUSE.
Lugo: LATER THAT NIGHT, I SAW A FIGURE OF A LITTLE BOY, LIKE A CREATURE, UP ON THE SECOND FLOOR.
SO I STARTED TAKING PICTURES.
[ CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKING .]
WE CAPTURED AN ORB IN THE STAIRWELL.
AND I CONTINUED UPSTAIRS, AND IT WAS REAL THICK.
YOU KNEW SOMETHING WAS THERE, AND THE ONE PICTURE I TOOK IN THE BEDROOM WHERE ALL THE ACTIVITY WAS HAPPENING, YOU COULD SEE THE OUTLINE OF A HEAD PEEKING OUT.
BUT WE COULDN'T EXACTLY TELL WHAT IT WAS.
WE ZOOMED IN, AND YOU COULD START MAKING OU THE FEATURES OF THE GOATEE, THE HEAD, AND IT JUST LOOKED LIKE A -- A GOAT'S THE BEST WAY TO EXPLAIN IT, BUT WE KNOW IT'S NOT A GOAT, SO WE BASICALLY FIGURED IT -- WE'RE PROBABLY DEALING WITH A SHAPESHIFTER.
A SHAPESHIFTER IS AN INDIAN BELIEF THAT, WHEN A SPIRIT DIES, IT CAN ASSUME ANY FORM THAT IT WANTS TO, WHETHER IT'S A HUMAN ENTITY OR AN ANIMAL ENTITY.
Pinkerton: SO EERIE, JUST STARING AT THE PICTURE.
MY STOMACH JUST DROPPED.
IT FELT LIKE MY HEAR WAS IN MY THROAT.
IT WAS JUST SO HORRIBLE TO THINK THAT YOU HAD SOMETHING LIKE THAT IN YOUR HOUSE.
Lugo: WE BELIEVE THAT THIS SHAPESHIFTER WAS THE ONE THAT WAS CREATING ALL THE HAVOC IN THE HOUSE, SO WE SET UP WHAT WE CALL A SEVEN-DAY CANDLE CLEANSING.
Pinkerton: WE WEN AND WE BOUGHT ALL THESE CANDLES AND WE PUT THEM IN EACH ROOM AND WE HAD A BIBLE LAID OU IN EVERY ROOM TO PSALMS 23 AND WE HAD THE CANDLES GOING 24/7.
EVERY TIME ONE WOULD BURN OUT, WE'D LIKE ANOTHER ONE SO THA IT WAS NEVER DARK IN THE HOUSE.
AND WE'D GO THROUGH, AND WE'D READ PSALMS 23 IN EVERY ROOM EVERY NIGHT.
THERE WAS ONE ROOM IN PARTICULAR THAT I REALLY DIDN'T LIKE GOING IN.
AND THE CANDLE HAD GONE OUT IN THAT ROOM, AND I REALLY, REALLY DIDN'T WANT TO GO IN THERE, BUT THERE WAS NOBODY ELSE HOME AND I KNEW I HAD TO, AND I JUST KNEW SOMETHING WAS GONNA HAPPEN.
I COULD JUST FEEL IT IN THE PI OF MY STOMACH, THIS DREAD, AND I GO, AND I WALK TO THE END OF THE ROOM, AND I TURN AROUND TO LIGHT THE CANDLE, MY BACK IS TO THE DOOR, SUDDENLY I HEAR IT SLAM SHUT, AND I TURN AROUND, AND I GO, AND I'M TRYING TO OPEN IT, AND IT'S SHAKING ON THE OTHER SIDE, LIKE SOMETHING'S HOLDING IT, AND I CAN'T GET IT OPEN.
AND THEN ABOUT -- IT SEEMED LIKE HOURS TO ME, BUT IT WAS PROBABLY ONLY A FEW SECONDS, THE DOOR OPENS, AND I DID NOT GO BACK IN THAT ROOM AGAIN AFTER THAT.
IT'S ONE OF THE MOST FRIGHTENING EXPERIENCES THAT I'VE EVER HAD.
Lugo: THIS ENTITY WAS TRYING TO DOMINATE RACHAEL.
HE HAD CLAIMED HER.
THE EFFORT OF OUR TEAM WASN'T ENOUGH.
QUITE A FEW OF OUR MEMBERS IN OUR GROUP ARE INDIAN -- ANCESTORS WERE INDIANS.
AND WE DECIDED THAT WE WOULD GET THREE TRIBES TOGETHER AND TAKE THE BES FROM EACH TRIBE, AND WE TALKED TO THE ELDERS.
WE GOT COUNSELING TO GE AS MUCH INFORMATION AS POSSIBLE HOW TO DEAL WITH THIS PARTICULAR ENTITY, AND THEY TOLD US, BASICALLY, THIS IS WHAT WE NEED TO DO, TO SET UP TO DO THIS PARTICULAR CEREMONY.
Pinkerton: WHEN HECTOR AND HIS GROUP CAME OUT FOR THE SECOND CLEANSING, THEY HAD ME GO THROUGH AND READ A PRAYER IN EVERY ROOM, SAYING THAT I DIDN'T WAN THE SPIRITS HERE, THAT THEY WEREN' WELCOME HERE ANYMORE.
AND I WAS TERRIFIED TO DO IT.
I WAS AFRAID THAT SOMETHING WAS GONNA HAPPEN BECAUSE I KNEW THAT THEY WERE ANGRY.
HECTOR WAS TAKING PICTURES THE ENTIRE TIME, AND WHEN I LOOKED AT THE PICTURES, YOU CAN SEE THERE'S THIS MIST.
AND I HAD FELT LIKE THERE HAD BEEN SOMETHING FOLLOWING ME THE ENTIRE TIME FROM ROOM TO ROOM, AND TO HAVE CONFIRMATION OF THA WAS JUST FRIGHTENING -- VERY FRIGHTENING.
LATER THAT NIGHT, THEY MADE A SALT CIRCLE, AND IN EACH PART OF THE CIRCLE, THERE WAS A MEMBER FROM A DIFFERENT TRIBE, AND THEY ALL HAD DIFFERENT TYPES OF HERBS THAT THEY WERE GONNA BURN, AND THEY WERE GONNA SAY PRAYERS, AND THEY WERE GONNA DO A CLEANSING CEREMONY TO TRY TO BE RID OF THIS THING ONCE AND FOR ALL.
Lugo: AND AS SOON AS WE WALKED IN THE CIRCLE, EVERYBODY JUST STOPPED BECAUSE YOU HEARD THREE BIG BANGS -- BOOM, BOOM, BOOM -- UPSTAIRS LIKE IT WAS STOMPING ITS FOO OR LIKE A BOWLING BALL FELL, AND EVERYBODY JUST STOPPED AND LOOKED UP.
AND WERE WE SCARED? WERE WE FRIGHTENED? YOU CAN'T SAY NO BECAUSE, YES, YOU DON'T KNOW WHA YOU'RE DEALING WITH.
THIS WAS NOT SOMETHING TO PLAY WITH.
THIS WAS A MEAN ENTITY.
Pinkerton: WHEN WE GOT DONE, IT WAS A LOT LIGHTER FEELING IN THE HOUSE.
WE WERE HOPEFUL THAT THA HAD GOTTEN RID OF THE SPIRI OR IT PASSED ON TO WHEREVER IT GOES.
Lugo: AFTER THE CEREMONY WAS DONE, WE FELT BETTER, AND WE KNEW THAT THINGS WOULD BE BETTER.
Pinkerton: BIT BY BIT, THE ACTIVITY LEVEL STARTED GOING DOWN.
I FINALLY NOTICED I WAS ABLE TO SLEEP AT NIGHT.
IT STARTED GETTING QUIETER, AND NOW IT'S NOT COMPLETELY FREE OF ANY SPIRITS OR ANYTHING.
WE'VE DEFINITELY STILL GO A LOT OF ACTIVITY AND PRESENCES, BUT IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE CAN LIVE WITH.
Lugo: I RUN INTO A LOT OF NONBELIEVERS -- SKEPTICS -- ALL THE TIME, AND RACHAEL WAS ONE OF THEM.
UNTIL IT HAPPENS TO THEM, THEY'RE JUST NOT GONNA BELIEVE IT.
Pinkerton: THIS WHOLE EXPERIENCE HAS DEFINITELY MADE ME RETHINK A LOT OF THINGS AS FAR AS PARANORMAL ACTIVITY OR WHAT HAPPENS WHEN WE DIE.
IT'S ALMOST BEEN COMFORTING TO KNOW THAT IT'S NOT THE END.
I'VE HAD SO MUCH PHYSICAL AND TANGIBLE PROOF THAT I REALLY CAN'T DENY THAT THERE IS LIFE AFTER DEATH.
Martin: WE'VE HAD STORIES OF PEOPLE SEEING A LITTLE GIRL STANDING IN THAT WINDOW.
Harris: THAT LOOKS LIKE A SPIRI COMING OUT OF THE FIREPLACE.
Martin: YOU SEE A SHADOW PERSON JUMP UP, AND IT DISAPPEARS.
IT KIND OF FREAKS YOU OUT.
Martin: WE CAPTURED THIS SHADOW PERSON IN THE DOORWAY.
Harris: IT'S A CHILD-SIZED SHADOW IN THE WINDOW.
Martin: IT SEEMED LIKE A CHILD CRYING OUT FOR ATTENTION.
Harris: MY GHOST STORY BEGAN WHEN I BECAME A VOLUNTEER AT THE KENDRICK HOUSE IN CARTHAGE, MISSOURI.
THE KENDRICK HOUSE WAS BUIL IN THE LATE 1840s, AND, DURING THE CIVIL WAR, THE WAR WENT RIGHT THROUGH THEIR PROPERTY, AND THE HOUSE WAS USED AS A HOSPITAL FOR BOTH THE UNION AND THE CONFEDERATES.
AND THE KENDRICKS HAVE A TABLE THAT IS STILL IN THE HOUSE THAT WAS USED TO PERFORM SURGERIES DURING THE WAR, WHEN THE HOUSE WAS USED AS A HOSPITAL.
THE HOUSE HAS SEEN A LOT OF DEATHS.
THERE WERE DEATHS FROM TUBERCULOSIS.
THERE WERE SEVERAL CHILDREN THAT DIED THERE.
I'D HEARD A LOT OF STORIES ABOUT THE KENDRICK HOUSE BEING HAUNTED.
PEOPLE WOULD COME AND TELL US THEY WOULD SEE PEOPLE MOVING AROUND IN THE UPSTAIRS AND BEHIND THE WINDOWS DURING THE DAY WHEN THEY KNEW THERE WAS NO ONE IN THE HOUSE.
WHEN I FIRST STARTED OUT THERE, WE WOULD MAKE THIS BED AND STRAIGHTEN IT ALL UP.
IT WAS IN THE CHILDREN'S ROOM.
AND EVERY TIME WE'D STRAIGHTEN IT UP, THE NEXT TIME WE'D COME UP THERE, THE BED WOULD HAVE AN INDENTION IN I LIKE SOMEONE HAD SAT ON IT.
IT JUST MADE YOU FEEL A LITTLE ODD, LIKE THERE'S SOMETHING BEYOND THAT WE DON'T KNOW ABOUT.
LISA HAS A GROUP THAT SHE INVESTIGATES PARANORMAL ACTIVITY WITH, AND THEIR GROUP HAD CALLED AND ASKED US TO SET UP AN APPOINTMEN SO THEY COULD COME OU AND INVESTIGATE THE HOUSE.
Martin: I HAD BEEN IN THE HOUSE BEFORE BUT NOT AS AN INVESTIGATOR, AND IT WAS A VERY EXCITING OPPORTUNITY.
WHEN YOU APPROACH KENDRICK HOUSE, ESPECIALLY AT NIGHT, IT SITS ON A HILL ABOVE THE RIVER, SORT OF AN IMPOSING PRESENCE.
THE FIRST THING THAT WE DID IS WE TOOK PHOTOS AND THERMAL IMAGES AROUND THE PERIMETER OF THE HOUSE AND THE GROUNDS.
WHILE WE WERE AT THE BACK OF THE HOUSE, WE GOT A HEAT SIGNATURE IN THE BEDROOM WINDOW.
Harris: THEY HAD TAKEN THE THERMAL IMAGE FROM OUTSIDE, AND IT LOOKS LIKE A LITTLE PERSON IN THE WINDOW.
THERE WAS NOTHING IN THE WINDOW AT THE TIME.
THERE'S NO VENTS RIGHT THERE BY THAT WINDOW.
Martin: THERE WAS NO NATURAL EXPLANATION FOR THE HEAT SIGNATURE.
BUT THIS IS A WINDOW THAT, OFTEN, THE CURTAINS ARE MOVED WHEN YOU COME IN THE HOUSE AND PUSHED BACK LIKE SOMEONE'S BEEN STANDING THERE LOOKING OUT.
WE'VE HAD STORIES TOLD TO US OF PEOPLE SEEING A LITTLE GIRL STANDING IN THAT WINDOW.
Harris: SOMETHING WAS UP THERE, DEFINITELY, AND IT JUST WAS A CREEPY FEELING.
Martin: WE KNEW GOING IN THAT THERE WAS A LOT OF ACTIVITY CENTERED IN THE PARLOR AREA.
THE PARLOR IS A VERY ELEGANT ROOM.
BUT THEN THERE ARE TIMES THAT YOU FEEL A COLD A BREEZE BLOW THROUGH, ALTHOUGH THERE'S NO DRAFT, AND SO WE SET UP CAMERAS IN THAT ROOM.
Harris: LISA AND HER GROUP WERE TAKING SOME PHOTOS IN THE PARLOR AREA.
Martin: I WAS STANDING IN THE DINING ROOM, WHICH IS ACROSS THE HALLWAY FROM THE PARLOR, AND I WAS SNAPPING PHOTOS.
Harris: AND WHILE THEY DID THAT, THEY CAUGHT AN ORB.
Martin: IT WAS SELF-ILLUMINATING AND FLOATED PRETTY MUCH CLEAR ACROSS THE HOUSE.
Harris: AND IT DID HAVE A DEFINITE MOTION AND SHAPE.
IT JUST KIND OF MAKES THE HAIR ON THE BACK OF YOUR NECK STAND UP A LITTLE BIT.
Martin: WE WENT INTO THE ADDITION, WHICH IS AT THE BACK OF THE HOUSE, AND THERE'S A FIREPLACE IN THAT ROOM, AND WE WERE TAKING STILL PHOTOS AND TAKING VIDEO.
[ INDISTINCT CONVERSATION .]
AND ON THE VIDEO CAMERA, WE CAUGHT WHAT LOOKS LIKE A MIS FLYING THROUGH THE AIR.
[ INDISTINCT CONVERSATION .]
[ GASPS .]
IT MOVES RAPIDLY.
IT MOVES SEEMINGLY WITH DIRECTION, IT'S NOT SOMETHING JUST FLOATING.
IT'S MOVING UNDER INTELLIGENT THOUGHT.
Harris: IT'S ELONGATED AND SWIRLED UPWARD, AND IT LOOKS LIKE A SPIRI COMING OUT OF THE FIREPLACE.
IT'S JUST GOT A STRANGE, EERIE LOOK TO IT.
Martin: IT JUST TOOK MY BREATH AWAY.
I WAS JUST STUNNED AND JUST WISHED I KNEW EXACTLY WHO IT WAS AND WHY THEY WERE THERE.
[ GASPS .]
Harris: LISA SET UP A CAMERA IN THE ROOM THAT'S NEXT TO THE KITCHEN, AND THE CAMERA IS LOOKING INTO THE KITCHEN DOORWAY.
Martin: WE WERE SPECIFICALLY FOCUSING ON THE KITCHEN BECAUSE A CHILD'S VOICE HAS BEEN HEARD IN THE KITCHEN AREA.
AND WE WERE ABLE TO CAPTURE A SHADOW PERSON WALKING INTO THE DOORWAY.
Harris: IT'S NOT THERE IN THE FRAME BEFORE, SO IT'S SOMETHING THAT JUST APPEARED THERE.
IT'S A CHILD-SIZED SHADOW, AND IT'S JUST STANDING THERE.
Martin: THE SHADOW FIGURE IS JUST CHILLING.
IT'S COLD, DARK, STARING BACK AT YOU, AND IT KIND OF FREAKS YOU OUT.
WE SET UP A CAMERA SHOOTING INTO THE MAIN HALLWAY.
THERE WAS A FAN SITTING THERE BECAUSE THEY HAD BEEN CLEANING AND AIRING OUT THE HOUSE, AND WE JUST LEFT I WHERE IT WAS.
WE WERE STILL SETTING UP OTHER EQUIPMEN WHEN WE CAPTURED A SMALL SHADOW PERSON THAT WAS PLAYING PEEKABOO.
YOU SEE A SHADOW PERSON JUMP UP, AND THEN, JUST A FEW SECONDS AFTER THAT, ONE OF OUR INVESTIGATORS WALKS THROUGH, AND IT DISAPPEARS.
IT'S NOT A SHADOW BEING CAST BY A LIVING PERSON OR ANYONE THAT WALKS BY.
Harris: I COULDN'T BELIEVE WHAT I SAW.
THAT REALLY SCARED ME, BECAUSE WE HAD ACTUALLY SEEN TANGIBLE EVIDENCE THAT THERE WAS A LITTLE SHADOW PERSON OUT THERE.
Martin: IT WAS SHOCKING AND SAD AT THE SAME TIME, BECAUSE IT SEEMED LIKE A CHILD CRYING OUT FOR ATTENTION.
AFTER THAT, WE STARTED AN EVP SESSION.
WE ASKED THE NAME OF WHO WE WERE SPEAKING TO.
WHAT'S YOUR NAME? AND WE CAPTURED ON AUDIO AN EVP THAT SOUNDS LIKE, "CAROL.
" Harris: IT REALLY WAS STARTLING, BECAUSE THERE WAS A LITTLE GIRL THAT PASSED AWAY IN THE HOUSE NAMED CAROL.
TO HEAR THE VOICE OF A LITTLE SPIRIT GIRL WAS REALLY EERIE TO ME, BUT IT'S REALLY SAD TO THINK THAT A LITTLE GIRL IS STILL HERE.
Martin: WITH BOTH HAVING THE PEEKABOO VIDEO AND THE EVP OF "CAROL," WE DO BELIEVE THAT THIS IS HER SPIRIT.
THE EXPERIENCE THAT I HAD AT THE KENDRICK HOUSE CONFIRMED MY BELIEF IN THE PARANORMAL, AND IT ALSO HAS MADE ME A BELIEVER THAT THERE ARE CERTAIN PLACES THAT ARE ALMOS A BEACON LIGHT FOR SPIRITS.
Harris: LISA'S INVESTIGATION HAS DEFINITELY GIVEN VALIDITY TO THE THINGS THAT HAPPEN OUT THERE.
I HAVE SEEN THINGS AT THE HOUSE AND HEARD THINGS THAT HAS CONVINCED ME THAT THERE DEFINITELY IS SOMETHING PARANORMAL GOING ON OUT THERE.
James: WE CAPTURED A SET OF EYES GAZING BACK AT US FROM BEHIND A TOMBSTONE.
Marie: I ACTUALLY TOOK A PICTURE OF A SHADOW PERSON WALKING BY.
I DO BELIEVE THIS SPIRIT WAS EVIL.
James: IT'S DEFINITELY AN UNNERVING EXPERIENCE.
James: WE CAPTURED A SET OF EYES GAZING BACK AT US.
Marie: I ACTUALLY TOOK A PICTURE OF A SHADOW PERSON.
James: I COULDN'T BELIEVE WHAT I WAS SEEING.
MY GHOST STORY BEGAN WHEN I WENT TO THE LIBERTY CEMETERY IN ARIZONA.
THE REASON WHY WE WENT TO LIBERTY IS 'CAUSE WE HEARD ALL KINDS OF CLAIMS OF PARANORMAL ACTIVITY THAT WAS TAKING PLACE IN THE CEMETERY ITSELF, FROM THE CHILDREN OF THE TOWN TO THE SURROUNDING AREAS.
LIBERTY IS A VERY SMALL TOWN.
THERE'S NOT VERY MANY REMAINING BUILDINGS LEFT.
IT'S ABANDONED.
IT'S FORGOTTEN.
MY WIFE AND I, WE'VE BEEN TOGETHER AND INVESTIGATING FOR ALMOST 10 YEARS NOW.
Marie: AS WE WERE WALKING THROUGH THE CEMETERY, I STARTED ACTUALLY JUST TEARING UP.
LOOKING AT THE GRAVE SITES, THERE WAS TONS OF CHILDREN THAT WERE BURIED IN THE CEMETERY.
AND AS A MOTHER OF THREE, IT WAS SAD TO KNOW THAT SO MANY CHILDREN WERE LOST AT THAT YOUNG OF AGE.
AS WE WERE LEAVING THE LIBERTY CEMETERY, I WAS WALKING AHEAD A LITTLE BIT, AND ALL OF A SUDDEN, IT FELT LIKE LITTLE HANDS WRAPPING AROUND MY WAIST.
AND THEN I HEARD A YOUNG CHILD -- A LITTLE BOY -- SAY "MAMA.
" I TURNED AROUND AND SAID, "WHAT?" AND MY HUSBAND LOOKED AT ME AND SAID, "NO ONE SAID ANYTHING.
" James: I HAD ASKED HER WHAT WAS WRONG.
SHE HAD ACTUALLY TOLD ME THAT SHE FEL THE PRESENCE OF A CHILD, AND SHE ASKED ME IF I, TOO, HAD FELT THE PRESENCE OF THE CHILD, AND I TOLD HER THAT I DEFINITELY DID FEEL A SPIRIT ENERGY IN THAT PARTICULAR LOCATION.
AFTER THESE EVENTS TOOK PLACE, WE DECIDED THAT IT WAS TIME FOR US TO RETURN BACK HOME.
I BELIEVE THAT SENSITIVES ARE A LIGHTHOUSE -- THAT SPIRITS COME TO US TO COMMUNICATE, BECAUSE THEY KNOW THAT WE CAN LISTEN.
SO IT'S FAIRLY COMMON IN AN INVESTIGATION TO HAVE SPIRITS PIGGYBACK YOU.
AFTER THE INVESTIGATION, THE ACTIVITY STARTED TAKING PLACE IMMEDIATELY IN OUR HOME.
ONE NIGHT, I HAD TO RETURN HOME FROM WORK EARLY -- AROUND 12:30.
I WORK NIGHTS.
I ACTUALLY FELL ASLEEP WATCHING TV.
I WOKE UP AT 3:00 A.
M.
, HEARING A VERY DISTURBING GASPING FOR AIR COMING FROM THE DOORWAY OF MY HOUSE.
I LOOKED AT MY FRONT DOOR, AND THERE WAS A BOY STANDING THERE, STARING, JUST LOOKING RIGHT AT ME.
AND IMMEDIATELY, THIS BOY STARTED RUNNING RIGHT TOWARDS ME.
ABOUT HALFWAY FROM ME AND THE DOOR, HE JUST DISAPPEARED.
THE SPEED IN WHICH IT MOVED TOWARDS ME WAS SOMETHING THAT WAS JUST COMPLETELY UNNATURAL.
IT'S DEFINITELY AN UNNERVING EXPERIENCE.
I KNEW THAT IT HAD PIGGYBACKED US FROM THE SITE AT LIBERTY.
THERE WAS NO DOUBT IN MY MIND.
Marie: MY HUSBAND ACTUALLY WAS TESTING OUT THE CAMERA TO MAKE SURE OUR CAMERAS WERE READY FOR ANOTHER INVESTIGATION.
HE STARTED SNAPPING PICTURES OF ME WHILE I WAS SITTING ON THE COUCH, AND HE REALIZED THAT THERE WAS AN ORB THAT WAS OVER ME.
I DO BELIEVE IT WAS THE BOY THAT WRAPPED HIS ARMS AROUND ME.
I DO BELIEVE HE FOLLOWED US HOME 'CAUSE HE THOUGHT I WAS HIS MAMA.
THE BOY NEEDED TO BE REUNITED WITH HIS MOTHER.
James: OBVIOUSLY, HE WAS COMING TO US FOR HELP.
MY WIFE AND I HAD SAT DOWN AND TALKED TO ONE ANOTHER AND THOUGHT THAT IT WOULD BE A GOOD IDEA FOR A RETURN VISI OF THE LIBERTY CEMETERY TO CROSS OVER THIS BOY.
UPON US RETURNING, WE BEGAN HAVING ACTIVITY TAKE PLACE.
THE WHOLE TEAM NOTICED.
WE WERE GETTING EMF SPIKES ON OUR METERS.
Marie: THERE WAS A LOT OF FEAR, ACTUALLY, ENTERING IN ME AND OUR OTHER CREW TEAM MEMBERS.
James: WE WOULD SEE SOMETHING OUT OF THE CORNER OF OUR EYE.
WHEN WE WOULD INVESTIGATE IT, IT WOULD BE LIKE THEY WOULD JUST DISAPPEAR.
SO, MY WIFE, SHE WAS MAYBE ABOUT 15 PACES AWAY FROM US.
Marie: I WAS SNAPPING PICTURES.
AND THEN, WHEN I LOOKED DOWN AT MY CAMERA, I WAS PETRIFIED.
I ACTUALLY TOOK A PICTURE OF A SHADOW PERSON WALKING BY.
James: SHE CAPTURED A PHOTOGRAPH OF A SILHOUETTE, WHAT WE BELIEVE, OF A MALE, IN THE CEMETERY WHILE SHE WAS ALONE.
Marie: AT THAT TIME, I DID NOT WANT TO BE BY MYSELF.
I WANTED TO BE WITH SOMEBODY.
THAT'S THE FEAR I FELT.
James: WE ALSO CAUGHT A PHOTOGRAPH WHICH LOOKS LIKE A SET OF EYES GAZING BACK AT US FROM BEHIND OF A TOMBSTONE.
Marie: I DO BELIEVE THA THIS SPIRIT WAS MORE EVIL, AND HE DIDN'T LIKE I THAT WE WERE THERE TRYING TO HELP THIS SPIRIT BOY REUNITE WITH HIS MOTHER.
WHILE WE WERE WALKING THROUGH THE CEMETERY, THE CREW MEMBERS STARTED TAKING PICTURES.
[ CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKING .]
James: ALONG WITH THE SHADOW PLAY IN THE CEMETERY, WE CAPTURED AN APPARITION OF A HOODED FEMALE KNEELING AT A GRAVE SITE.
I COULDN'T BELIEVE WHAT I WAS SEEING.
WE THOUGHT IT TO BE PRETTY SIGNIFICANT -- DETAILED IMAGE.
IT VALIDATED OUR CLAIMS.
IT WAS AMAZING.
Marie: FIRST THING THAT COMES IN MY MIND IS SADNESS.
IT'S A MOTHER THAT HAS LOST HER CHILD AND WANTS TO BE REUNITED WITH HER SON.
James: IT WAS TIME FOR US TO CROSS OVER THIS SPIRIT BOY.
IT'S A SIMPLE PRAYER, ASKING GOD FOR THE CHILD TO HAVE SAFE PASSAGE.
Marie: AT FIRST, IT WAS LIKE A LOT OF HEAVINESS ON MY CHES THROUGHOUT THE PRAYER AND THE BLESSING.
James: THE MOOD JUST BEGAN TO QUICKLY CHANGE.
IT WENT FROM A HIGH-LEVEL ACTIVITY TO JUST MILDLY DYING DOWN TO NOTHING.
Marie: AS SOON AS MY HUSBAND WAS ACTUALLY DONE WITH THE BLESSING, THERE WAS NO PRESSURE ON MY CHEST.
IT ACTUALLY FELT, LIKE, A LITTLE BIT MORE RELAXING.
James: THERE WAS NO COLD SPOTS, NO SHADOW PLAY, ALMOST LIKE THE CEMETERY WAS KIND OF AT REST NOW.
AFTER CROSSING OVER THIS CHILD, AS SOON AS WE HAD COME BACK HOME, THE ACTIVITY HAD CEASED, THUS VERIFYING THAT THIS CHILD DID CROSS OVER, AND I THINK THAT THE PROOF OF THE WOMAN SHOWING UP IN OUR PHOTOGRAPH IS SYMBOLIC, AND MAYBE SHE SHOWED UP JUST TO PICK HIM UP AND TAKE HIM WITH HER.
Marie: I WAS GLAD THAT THE BOY WAS GONE.
I FELT A LOT OF SADNESS WHILE HE WAS AROUND, AND I KNEW HE WANTED HIS MOM, SO, WHEN HE ACTUALLY WAS GONE, I WAS EXCITED AND HAPPY THA THERE WAS NO MORE EXPERIENCES.
James: WE CAME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT NOT ONLY WAS THE CEMETERY HAUNTED JUST BY RESIDUAL-TYPE HAUNTINGS, THAT THESE HAUNTINGS WERE ACTUALLY INTELLIGENT, INTELLIGENT ENOUGH TO COMMUNICATE WITH US, EVEN SO FAR AS FOLLOWING US HOME.
Marie: I KNOW THA THERE ARE SPIRITS OUT THERE.
I HAVE HEARD SPIRITS, AND I HAVE SEEN SPIRITS AT LIBERTY CEMETERY.
MY EXPERIENCES TAUGHT ME THAT I COULD ACTUALLY HELP SPIRITS CROSS OVER, AND I WAS EXCITED THAT I WAS ABLE TO HELP THEM.
Nathan: I WAS LIKE, "WHAT WAS THAT?" Christina: "THERE'S SOMEBODY IN HERE.
" -Nathan: I JUMPED UP.
-Christina: HE'S JUST PANICKED.
Nathan: MY ADRENALINE WAS PUMPING.
Christina: IMMEDIATELY, WE KNEW IT HAD TO BE SOME KIND OF AN ENTITY.
Nathan: I'VE SEEN I PHYSICALLY MOVE STUFF.
WHOA! DID YOU GUYS SEE THAT? BUT NOW WE'RE GETTING HURT.
Christina: IMMEDIATELY, WE KNEW IT HAD TO BE SOME KIND OF AN ENTITY.
Nathan: I'VE SEEN I PHYSICALLY MOVE STUFF.
WHOA! DID YOU GUYS SEE THAT? BUT NOW WE'RE GETTING HURT.
MY GHOST STORY BEGAN WHEN A REALTOR WAS SHOWING ME A HOME IN HASTINGS, NEBRASKA.
FOUR YEARS AGO, ME AND MY WIFE WERE LOOKING FOR A HOUSE.
Christina: THIS HOUSE, IN PARTICULAR, HAD EVERYTHING WE WERE LOOKING FOR.
WE WANTED TO BE ABLE TO EXPAND, AND THIS ONE HAD NICE, OPEN SPACES.
Nathan: WE WERE THERE WITH THE REALTOR, LOOKING AT THE BASEMENT, AND WE STARTED HEARING FOOTSTEPS UPSTAIRS.
Christina: IT ALMOST SOUNDED LIKE SOMEBODY WAS WEARING BOOTS ON A HARDWOOD FLOOR.
Nathan: THE REALTOR GOES UP THERE AND LOOKS AROUND, AND THEN HE CAME BACK AND WAS LIKE, "THAT WAS STRANGE.
" HE'S LIKE, "THERE'S NOBODY HERE.
" Christina: AS WE WERE LOOKING AROUND THE HOUSE, WE KEPT HEARING I AND HEARING IT, BUT WE DIDN'T THINK TOO MUCH OF IT AT THE TIME.
Nathan: IT DIDN'T AFFECT ME ON PURCHASING THE HOUSE BECAUSE I DIDN'T BELIEVE IN ANY PARANORMAL ACTIVITY.
WHEN WE FIRST MOVED IN, THERE WAS LITTLE THINGS THAT WOULD HAPPEN.
YOU KNOW, OUT OF THE CORNER OF YOUR EYE, YOU SEE SOMETHING, AND YOU'D GET UP AND LOOK, AND THERE'D BE NOBODY THERE.
THE ACTIVITY PICKED UP A LITTLE BIT MORE WHEN WE HAD OUR SON.
TOYS OF HIS WOULD STAR TURNING ON.
Christina: IT JUST STARTED BUILDING TO OBJECTS MOVING, CABINET DOORS BEING OPEN.
Nathan: I SAW IT OPENING, AND I WAS LIKE, "NO, THAT DIDN'T JUST HAPPEN.
" SO I SHUT IT.
20 MINUTES LATER, IT OPENS AGAIN.
Christina: THEY'VE TURNED ON SAWS.
THEY'VE TURNED ON VACUUMS.
IT DOES SCARE US THAT OUR KIDS ARE IN THE HOUSE WITH WHATEVER ENERGY IS THERE.
Nathan: AS A PARENT, YOU WAN TO PROTECT YOUR CHILDREN.
BUT HOW CAN YOU WHEN YOU CAN' PHYSICALLY SEE THIS ENTITY OR SPIRIT THAT'S HAUNTING THE HOUSE? Christina: ONE NIGHT, I WAS TAKING A SHOWER, AND I HEARD LOUD FOOTSTEPS COME RUNNING INTO THE BATHROOM.
AND I FELT MY LEG GET SMACKED.
Nathan: I WENT RUNNING IN TO SEE WHA HAPPENED.
I COULDN'T BELIEVE IT.
Christina: WE KNEW IT HAD TO BE SOME KIND OF AN ENTITY, AND IT WAS SCARING US, BEING IN OUR HOUSE.
SO WE GOT ONLINE AND WE DID RESEARCH TO SEE IF WE COULD FIGURE OU WHAT'S GOING ON, AND I ACTUALLY GOT AHOLD OF SOME RECORDS OF WHO PREVIOUSLY LIVED IN THE HOUSE.
Nathan: WE'VE TRACED IT BACK TO WHERE IT WAS A FLAT LAND AND THERE WAS NOTHING BUILT THERE BEFORE.
WE FOUND THAT THERE WAS A FEW DIFFERENT OWNERS, BUT IT DOESN'T SAY WHETHER THEY DIED IN THE HOUSE.
BUT I PERSONALLY THINK THAT ONE OF THE OWNERS IS STILL THERE.
Christina: ONE NIGHT, WE DECIDED TO GO INTO THE BASEMEN AND DO SOME INVESTIGATING.
Nathan: WE STARTED TAKING PHOTOS TO SEE IF MAYBE IT CAN KIND OF EXPLAIN SOME OF THE ACTIVITY THAT WAS HAPPENING.
Christina: ONE OF THE PICTURES WE TOOK WAS ACTUALLY A WHITE MIST.
IT WAS KIND OF FLA AND STOOD OUT AGAINST THE WALL.
Nathan: I WENT OVER TO THAT AREA, MAKING SURE THERE WAS NOTHING THERE, AND THAT'S WHEN I WAS LIKE, "OKAY.
THERE IS SOMETHING ELSE IN THIS ROOM WITH ME.
" ANOTHER TIME, MY WIFE WAS TAKING PICTURES.
ALL OF A SUDDEN, SHE SAID, "WHAT WAS THAT?" Christina: IT CAUGHT MY EYE BECAUSE IT WAS RED, IT WAS BRIGHT.
Nathan: IT'S A FAIRLY LARGE ORB, AND IT HAS ITS OWN GLOW.
Christina: I REMEMBER FEELING UNEASY, THAT SOMETHING'S TRYING TO SHOW ITSELF.
MAYBE IT'S TRYING TO BUILD ON ENERGY.
Nathan: A FEW WEEKS LATER, I WAS HOME ALONE, AND I KEP HEARING NOISES DOWNSTAIRS, SO I JUST SET UP A LITTLE CAMERA.
AND THEN, WHEN I STARTED ASKING THE SPIRIT QUESTIONS THE DOOR ACTUALLY OPENED ON ITS OWN.
Christina: MY HEART STARTED RACING WHEN I SAW IT, BECAUSE THEY'RE SALOON-STYLE DOORS, AND THEY DON'T OPEN ON THEIR OWN 'CAUSE THEY LATCH, SO I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THAT WAS.
WE HAD SO MUCH ACTIVITY GOING ON ALL THE TIME.
WE KEPT HEARING I BANG IN THE BASEMENT, AND WE WOULD ALWAYS GO DOWN THE STAIRS AND LOOK TO SEE WHAT THAT WAS.
Nathan: THE SMOKE ALARM IN OUR BASEMENT KEPT FALLING, AND IT'S ACTUALLY ONE THAT YOU HAVE TO TWIS AND TURN AND LOCK INTO PLACE.
IT KEPT FALLING ON THE FLOOR, AND THEN THE BATTERIES WOULD ALWAYS BE DEAD IN IT.
I MEAN, WE COULD REPLACE IT, AND THEN THE NEXT DAY, IT WOULD FALL ON THE FLOOR AND THE BATTERY'S DEAD AGAIN.
SO, WE DECIDED TO GO DOWNSTAIRS ONE EVENING WITH THE AUDIO RECORDER AND ASK THE SPIRI SOME QUESTIONS.
Christina: NATE ASKED, "IS THIS A WARNING THAT YOU'RE GIVING US WITH THE SMOKE DETECTOR?" Nathan: AND THEN, WHEN WE WERE REVIEWING THE EVIDENCE, WE GOT THIS VOICE THAT SAID Christina: IT WAS DEFINITELY A DEEP MAN'S VOICE.
YOU COULD HEAR MUMBLING, AND THEN YOU HEAR, "MORE TOWARD A HAUNTING.
" Nathan: WAS THAT A WARNING FOR US? Christina: WHEN I HEARD THAT EVP, I WAS COMPLETELY FLOORED.
Nathan: IT SCARED BOTH OF US.
WE ACTUALLY GRABBED OUR KIDS AND JUST LEFT THE HOUSE.
WE DIDN'T PACK ANYTHING.
WE WERE JUST LIKE, "WE'RE LEAVING," AND WENT AND STAYED AT HER PARENTS' HOUSE FOR THE NIGHT.
AFTER THAT, I SET UP EQUIPMEN AROUND THE HOUSE.
AND ONE NIGHT, THE VIDEO RECORDER IN THE WASHER-AND-DRYER ROOM GOT THIS FIGURE THAT MOVES FROM THE LEFT SIDE OF THE SCREEN TO THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE SCREEN AND THEN GOES THROUGH THE WALL.
Christina: I COULDN'T BELIEVE MY EYES.
YOU COULD SEE THERE'S NOTHING BELOW THE ORB.
THERE'S NO WAY ANYTHING COULD BE LEVITATING LIKE THAT.
Nathan: IT FREAKED ME OUT.
Christina: WE WANTED TO GET OUT OF THERE.
WE DID TRY AND SELL THE HOUSE.
Nathan: NOBODY ENDED UP BUYING THE HOUSE BECAUSE OF THE ACTIVITY THAT WAS HAPPENING, SO WE TOOK IT OFF THE MARKE AND DECIDED WE'RE GONNA STAY HERE AND JUST DEAL WITH IT.
Christina: IF THINGS WERE TO CHANGE AND START TO FEEL, LIKE, VIOLENT OR DANGEROUS, I WOULD DEFINITELY MOVE.
I WOULD NOT WANT MY KIDS AROUND ANYTHING LIKE THAT.
THERE IS DEFINITELY SOME TYPE OF A SPIRIT IN OUR HOUSE.
IT WANTS ITS PRESENCE KNOWN.
WE'VE HEARD EVPs, WE'VE GOT ORBS, WE'VE PHYSICALLY BEEN TOUCHED.
Nathan: THIS EXPERIENCE, IT'S CHANGED MY OPINION ON EVERYTHING.
AT FIRST, I WAS A SKEPTIC.
IF YOU ASKED ME ABOUT A GHOST, I WOULD JUST SAY, "NO, WHATEVER.
" I AM NOW 100% BELIEVER.
Christina: I THINK THE SPIRITS WILL ALWAYS BE IN THE HOUSE.
THEY'RE COMFORTABLE THERE, AND I DON'T THINK THAT THEY'RE PLANNING ON LEAVING ANYTIME SOON.
