My Ghost Story (2010) s06e20 Episode Script
The Ghost Box
McBride: I TOOK A PICTURE.
IT HAD A BLACK FIGURE STANDING IN THE WINDOW.
WITHOUT A DOUBT, IT CHILLED ME TO THE BONE.
Thomas: THERE WAS A BRIGHT LIGH COMING ACROSS, AND IT JUST STOPS.
IT'S IMPOSSIBLE.
Bennett: IN THE VIDEO, YOU SEE A SHADOW FIGURE COME OUT OF THE WALL AND THEN WALKS AWAY AND DISAPPEARS.
Badders: I WAS TERRIFIED.
THAT CANNOT BE EXPLAINED.
Bret: IMMEDIATELY, THE K-II PEAKED.
THERE ARE SPIRITS IN THIS BUILDING DESPERATELY SEEKING HELP.
WE FOUND A FULL-BODY APPARITION OF A SMALL BOY.
THE APPARITION DID NO SHOW US A SOLID OBJECT.
WE WERE JUST SHOCKED.
Coffey: I DID SENSE SPIRITS MOVING AROUND ME, AND I CAPTURED A SPIRIT ORB.
McKeand: YOU CAN SEE A PURPLISH GLOW.
THAT SECTION OF THE ROOM HAS ABSOLUTELY NO LIGHT IN I WHATSOEVER.
I WAS REALLY SCARED.
Renier: THERE'S A LOT OF MIST.
YOU CAN SEE WHAT APPEARS TO BE A SKELETON ARCHING WITH ITS HEAD UP, ALMOST LIKE IT'S SCREAMING.
THERE'S NO LOGICAL EXPLANATION FOR THAT MIST.
Gina: WE PICKED UP AN EVP THAT SAID Bret: THE K-II METER WENT OFF FOR 12 STRAIGHT MINUTES.
IT WAS A FULL-BODY APPARITION OF A SMALL BOY.
MY GHOST STORY BEGAN WHEN MY WIFE, GINA, AND I VISITED THE MENTZ HOTEL IN PARK CITY, KENTUCKY.
I BECAME INTERESTED IN INVESTIGATING WHEN I WAS A TEENAGER.
WHEN I FIRST MET GINA, THAT WAS ONE OF THE THINGS THAT BROUGHT US TOGETHER RIGHT OFF THE BAT.
IT'S KIND OF UNUSUAL TO MEET SOMEBODY ELSE THAT HAS SUCH AN AVID INTERES IN THE PARANORMAL.
Gina: WHEN WE DISCOVERED THAT WE BOTH HAD, YOU KNOW, THIS PASSION FOR THE PARANORMAL, WE DECIDED TO START INVESTIGATING TOGETHER.
Bret: I FIRST COME TO HEAR ABOUT THE MENTZ HOTEL FROM SOME FRIENDS OF OURS.
THEY TOLD US OF DOORS SLAMMING PEOPLE SEEING SHADOW FIGURES.
[ WHISPERING .]
WE FOUND OUT THAT IT WAS BUIL IN THE LATE 1880s.
AND THROUGH THE YEARS, IT'S BEEN VARIOUS THINGS, INCLUDING THE BAULCH JUNIOR SCHOOL FOR BOYS.
WE WERE VERY INTERESTED TO GO UP THERE AND INVESTIGATE I FOR OURSELVES.
WE PULLED INTO THE DRIVE, AND I LOOKED UP AT THE OLD BUILDING AND INSTANTLY GOT A FEELING THAT I WAS BEING WATCHED.
Gina: YOU'RE OVERWHELMED BY THE SIZE OF THE PLACE, AND IT'S VERY OLD, SO IT'S JUST GO AN EERIE FEELING.
WE FELT THIS VERY KIND OF HEAVY PRESENCE, ESPECIALLY RIGHT INTO THE DINING AREA.
Bret: IN A MAIN DINING ROOM AREA OF THE MENTZ, THE BOYS' SCHOOL USED I FOR THEIR MAIN CAFETERIA.
WE DECIDED THAT'S WHERE WE'RE GONNA SET UP OUR EQUIPMENT.
I QUICKLY GRAB MY CAMERA.
I WANTED TO DO REFERENCE SHOTS BEFORE THE SUN WENT DOWN.
WE LIKE TO DO THA BECAUSE WE DON'T WANT TO HAVE SOMETHING MISTAKEN THAT COULD POSSIBLY BE FALSE EVIDENCE.
AND ABOUT THE FOURTH OR FIFTH PHOTO THAT I TOOK THAT NIGHT, WE FOUND A FULL-BODY APPARITION OF A SMALL BOY.
WE WERE JUST SHOCKED WHEN WE FOUND IT.
WE KNEW THA THERE WAS NO CHILDREN PRESENT.
AND IT WAS SUCH A CLEAR PHOTO.
IT WAS IN COLOR.
AND IT SEEMED LIKE THAT HE HAD JUST CAME DOWN AND WAS JUST CURIOUS ABOUT US.
Gina: I WAS PRETTY SHOCKED, AMAZED.
I COULDN'T BELIEVE THAT WE CAUGH SUCH A CLEAR, FANTASTIC PHOTO OF THIS LITTLE BOY.
Bret: ONE OF THE FIRST THINGS THAT WE DID WHEN WE DISCOVERED THE APPARITION IN THE PHOTO WAS TO DO A REVERSE NEGATIVE OF IT.
AND WHEN WE DID, WE SAW THE OTHER GENTLEMAN THAT WAS WITH US THAT NIGH SHOWING UP AS A SOLID OBJECT.
BUT THE APPARITION OF THE LITTLE BOY DID NOT SHOW AS A SOLID OBJECT.
YOU COULD CLEARLY TELL THAT IT WASN'T.
ANY TIME WE FIND A SPIRI OF A CHILD AT A LOCATION, IT'S SOMETHING THAT REALLY DOES BOTHER GINA AND I BECAUSE WE ALWAYS HAVE A SENSE THAT WE WANT TO TRY TO HELP THEM.
A LOT OF TIMES WE FEEL THA THEY'RE MAYBE BEING HELD THERE BY SOMETHING THAT'S A STRONGER ENTITY THAN THEM.
AND THAT'S KIND OF THE FEELING THAT WE HAD ABOUT THE LITTLE BOY.
AFTER A COUPLE HOURS INTO THE INVESTIGATION, THINGS SEEMED TO SLOW DOWN SOMEWHAT.
EVERYBODY WAS WALKING OU THE SIDE ENTRANCE, GOING OUTSIDE TO GET SOME FRESH AIR.
AND SOMETHING INSIDE OF ME JUS SAID TO WALK TO THE STAIRCASE.
AND I WAS STILL HOLDING A K-II METER, AND IT PEAKED.
AND IMMEDIATELY, THE K-II HIT AGAIN.
AND IT PROCEEDED TO GET INTELLIGENT RESPONSES TO QUESTIONS THAT I WAS ASKING FOR 12 STRAIGHT MINUTES.
I SAID, "CAN YOU COME CLOSER?" IT WENT OFF.
I WOULD THANK THEM FOR SPEAKING TO ME.
IT WENT OFF.
Gina: IT WAS SUCH DIRECT RESPONSES.
AND TO LAST THAT LONG -- I'VE NEVER SEEN K-II INTERACTION LIKE THAT BEFORE IN ANY INVESTIGATION.
Bret: GINA AND I WENT UPSTAIRS.
AND WE DECIDED TO ATTEMPT TO USE THE OVILUS JUST TO SEE IF WE COULD POSSIBLY GET SOME NAMES OF WHO MIGHT BE HOLDING THESE CHILDREN THERE.
Gina: WE WERE ASKING SOME QUESTIONS.
Bret: AND AT THAT TIME, WE GOT THE WORD "MURDER.
" Gina: JUST, YOU KNOW, OUT OF THE BLUE, IT CAME UP "MURDER.
" IT REALLY GOT MY ATTENTION, AND IT IS SCARY.
JUST SECONDS LATER, WE ALSO PICKED UP AN EVP THAT SAID IT SOUNDS LIKE A FEMALE SAYING IT.
IT'S A LITTLE BIT OF A WHISPER, BUT IT WAS A STRONG EVP.
Bret: IT DID SEEM, WHEN THE LADY WAS REFERRING TO THE PHRASE "MURDER" ON THE OVILUS BY SAYING "YOU CAN COMPLETE THAT," OUR IMPRESSION WAS THA SHE WAS ACTUALLY WANTING US TO MURDER SOMEBODY, TO COMPLETE, LIKE, SOMETHING MAYBE THAT SHE TRIED TO DO AT ONE TIME HERSELF, POSSIBLY.
WE DECIDED TO TRY TO GET TO THE BOTTOM OF EVERYTHING THAT WAS GOING ON AND USE WHAT IS CALLED A SPIRIT BOX.
A SPIRIT BOX IS BASICALLY A RADIO WITH THE SCAN BUTTON DISENGAGED, AND SPIRITS ARE ABLE TO COMMUNICATE IN THE WHITE NOISE COMING IN ON THE FREQUENCIES.
SO, WE SET UP THE SPIRIT BOX AT THE BASE OF THE STAIRS BECAUSE THAT'S WHERE GINA AND I FEL THAT THE MOST ENERGY IN THE MENTZ WAS.
IMMEDIATELY AFTER STARTING THE SPIRIT BOX UP, WE HEARD A LOUD BANG.
[ BANG .]
AND SOMEONE IN THE PARTY THAT WAS WITH US SAID, "WHAT IS THAT?" IMMEDIATELY THROUGH THE SPIRIT BOX, WE GET Gina: IT SAID, "IT'S A SPIRIT.
" Bret: THE SPIRIT'S COMING THROUGH THE SPIRIT BOX TELLING US THAT'S A SPIRIT, REFERRING TO THE NOISE THAT WE HAD HEARD IN THE DINNING ROOM.
[ BANG .]
IT JUST VERIFIED ONCE AGAIN THAT THERE ARE SPIRITS IN THIS BUILDING WHO ARE DESPERATELY SEEKING HELP TO MOVE ON TO WHERE THEY NEED TO BE.
Gina: BECAUSE WE GOT THE PICTURE OF THE GHOST BOY AROUND THE GRAND STAIRCASE AND THE K-II INTERACTION THAT WE GOT THERE, WHEN WE GOT THE WORDS "IT'S A SPIRIT," IT JUST TIED EVERYTHING TOGETHER, REALLY.
THE MENTZ HOTEL IS ONE OF THE MOST ACTIVE LOCATIONS THAT WE'VE EVER INVESTIGATED.
WE GOT SO MUCH INTERACTION AND REALLY FEEL LIKE THE SPIRIT OF A CHILD, IF NOT MANY CHILDREN, WERE TRYING TO COMMUNICATE WITH US.
Bret: WHEN WE LEFT THE MENTZ THAT NIGHT, WE ACTUALLY FELT KIND OF SAD BECAUSE WE FELT THA THE SPIRITS OF THE CHILDREN THAT WERE THERE WERE PROBABLY NOT WANTING US TO LEAVE AND WANTING HELP.
AND WE JUST KIND OF FELT UNEASY ABOUT THA AS WE WERE DRIVING AWAY THAT THERE WAS PROBABLY MORE THAT WE COULD HAVE DONE FOR THEM OR WISH THERE WAS MORE THA WE COULD HAVE DONE FOR THEM.
Bennett: WHAT WE EXPERIENCED WAS REAL.
IT OBVIOUSLY WANTED OUR ATTENTION.
Badders: THERE WAS PORTAL WHERE SPIRITS PASS THROUGH.
Bennett: WE CAPTURED THE SPIRIT OF SOMETHING.
WE DON'T KNOW WHAT IT WAS.
Badders: IT WAS A WARNING.
THINGS WERE GONNA GE A LOT WORSE.
Bennett: WE CAPTURE THE SPIRIT OF SOMETHING.
WE DON'T KNOW WHAT IT WAS.
Badders: IT WAS A WARNING.
THINGS WERE GONNA GE A LOT WORSE.
Bennett: MY GHOST STORY BEGAN WHEN I STEPPED FOO INTO POAST TOWN ELEMENTARY IN MIDDLETOWN, OHIO.
I SAW MY FIRST GHOS WHEN I WAS 11 YEARS OLD.
AND SINCE THEN, I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR ANSWERS.
I WAS LOOKING FOR A NEW CHALLENGE, A PLACE THAT WAS EXTREMELY LARGE WITH A LOT OF HISTORY.
POAST TOWN ELEMENTARY HAS DEFINITELY HAD A DARK HISTORY.
THERE WAS A MASSIVE TRAIN WRECK BEFORE THE SCHOOL WAS BUILT.
THEREFORE, THE HOSPITAL OVERFLOWED.
THEY TOOK SOME OF THE BODIES TO WHERE POAST TOWN NOW SITS AND ACTUALLY SET UP LIKE A CLINIC THERE WHERE PEOPLE DID LOSE THEIR LIVES.
ANOTHER STORY WAS THERE WAS A LITTLE GIRL WHO WAS SAID TO FALL DOWN A STAIRWELL.
SHE BUMPED HER HEAD AND THEN DIED LATER ON.
AND ALSO, THE JANITOR, WHO ACTUALLY LOVED HIS JOB, WAS VERY FOND OF THE CHILDREN, ACTUALLY BURNT IN HIS OWN HOME IN A FIRE.
AND THEY SAID THAT HE STILL WALKS AROUND THE HALLS NOW, AS WELL.
ANNA AND I STARTED DATING A FEW YEARS BACK.
SHE HAD NEVER ACTUALLY WENT OU AND DID AN INVESTIGATION.
I HAD TO TALK HER INTO IT.
AND EVER SINCE THEN, SHE'S BEEN REALLY INTO THE PARANORMAL.
Badders: IT WASN'T UNTIL I ACTUALLY WENT OU ON MY FIRST GHOST HUN THAT I BECAME A BELIEVER.
THERE'S STUFF OUT THERE THA IS COMPLETELY UNEXPLAINABLE.
ADAM AND MYSELF, ALONG WITH OUR TEAM, PULLED UP TO THE SCHOOL, AND I LOOKED AT ADAM, AND I SAID, "I DON'T THINK WE SHOULD BE DOING AN INVESTIGATION TONIGHT.
" THERE WAS JUST THIS FEELING THAT I COULDN'T SHAKE, A FEELING THAT I HAD NEVER HAD BEFORE.
Bennett: AS SOON AS YOU STEPPED OUT OF THE CAR, YOU GOT THIS FEELING THAT THERE WERE EYES CONSTANTLY WATCHING YOU.
THERE WAS DEFINITELY AN INTIMIDATION FACTOR.
BESIDES FEELING WATCHED, YOU KIND OF GOT A HEAVINESS, A LITTLE BIT SHORT OF BREATH.
YOU COULD TELL THAT YOU WEREN'T WANTED THERE.
WHEN YOU FIRST WALK INTO THE BUILDING, THERE'S A VERY LONG, WIDE, CREEPY STAIRCASE ON YOUR LEFT.
STRAIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU, THERE'S A HALLWAY THAT'S PITCH-BLACK, YOU CANNOT SEE DOWN.
Badders: WE SET UP IN THE BREAK ROOM BEFORE WE STARTED OUR INVESTIGATION.
THE OWNER OF THE BUILDING SAID THAT THERE WAS A PORTAL WHERE SPIRITS PASS THROUGH ON THE SECOND FLOOR.
SO WE WENT UPSTAIRS.
Bennett: ONCE WE STARTED RUNNING AN EVP SESSION, ANNA FELT VERY SICK, LIGHTHEADED, DIZZY.
Badders: THE ENERGY AROUND US HAD GOTTEN REALLY UNCOMFORTABLE.
I STARTED TO FEEL LIKE I WAS GONNA PASS OUT.
Bennett: OUR INVESTIGATOR, ROSE, SAID THAT SHE FELT LIKE A CHILD HAD GRABBED HER HAND.
SHE BEGAN CRYING UNCONTROLLABLY.
SHE COULDN'T CATCH HER BREATH.
Badders: AND I HAD FELT THE SAME WAY.
IT WAS JUST THIS FEAR.
SO I ACTUALLY GRABBED HER HAND AND HEADED DOWN TO THE BREAK ROOM.
Bennett: I GREW CONCERNED IMMEDIATELY.
SO AT THAT POINT, THE THREE GUY INVESTIGATORS, WE WENT TO CONFRON WHAT WAS GOING ON.
AND DURING VIDEO, WE CAPTURE THE SPIRIT OF SOMETHING.
WE DON'T KNOW WHAT IT WAS.
IN THE VIDEO, YOU SEE A SHADOW FIGURE COME OUT OF THE WALL, MOVE TO THE LEFT.
IT STOPS, FACES US, AND THEN WALKS AWAY AND DISAPPEARS.
I WAS COMPLETELY BLOWN AWAY.
IT WAS SHOWING US THAT IT WAS REAL, THAT IT WAS MESSING WITH US, AND IT REALLY DIDN'T CARE.
Badders: WHEN ADAM CAME DOWNSTAIRS AND SHOWED US THE VIDEO, I WAS TERRIFIED.
I FELT SCARED FOR MY TEAM MEMBERS AND MYSELF.
Bennett: I BELIEVE THAT THIS WAS A DARK SPIRIT.
IT WAS BASICALLY TAUNTING US.
WE DECIDED THAT WE WERE GONNA SPLIT UP, SO MYSELF, ANNA, AND TRAVIS WENT TO THE STAIRWELL WHERE THE ACCIDENT HAPPENED WITH THE LITTLE GIRL.
Badders: ADAM DECIDED THA HE WANTED TO RUN AN EVP SESSION.
Bennett: I WAS IMMEDIATELY OVERCOME WITH SADNESS.
I FELT SCARED.
I WAS REALLY UPSET.
AND I HAD TO SIT DOWN.
I HAD TO COLLECT MYSELF.
SOMEONE NEEDED MY HELP, AND I WAS FEELING THE PAIN THAT THEY WENT THROUGH.
Badders: HE WAS ALMOST IN TEARS, AND HE ASKED, "IS THERE ANYBODY HERE WITH US?" Bennett: WE ACTUALLY CAUGHT WHAT SOUNDS LIKE A LITTLE GIRL SAYING "HELP" FOLLOWED BY A MAN SAYING "EMMA WATSON.
" Badders: WE THINK THAT THIS LITTLE GIRL WAS ASKING FOR HELP AND THIS MAN WAS TELLING US THAT THIS IS EMMA WATSON, AND I THINK IT WAS THE JANITOR AND THE LITTLE GIRL WHO HAD FALLEN DOWN THE STAIRWELL THAT WAS THERE WITH US THAT NIGHT.
Bennett: SO THE EMOTION THAT I FELT, FEELING MY HEART BREAK, I KNOW EXACTLY WHY -- BECAUSE IT WAS A LITTLE GIRL REACHING OUT TO ME, WANTING MY HELP AND ATTENTION.
WE HAVE DVR CAMERAS THAT ARE SE UP THROUGH THE ENTIRE BUILDING.
AND LATER THAT NIGHT, AS WE WERE WALKING BACK TOWARDS THE TEAM, ANNA AND I BOTH, AT THE SAME TIME, FELT A COLDNESS, A DRAFT GO BY BOTH OF OUR HEADS.
Badders: I FELT THIS COLD CHILL JUST KIND OF COME UP AND HIT ME IN THE FACE.
I COULDN'T REALLY EXPLAIN IT.
Bennett: LATER THAT NIGHT, WE REVIEWED THE VIDEO, AND WE NOTICED A BALL OF BRIGH LIGHT COMES OUT OF THE WALL, FLIES TOWARDS US, AND THEN DISAPPEARS.
I BELIEVE THAT THAT WAS THE SPIRIT OF THE LITTLE GIRL.
IT DID NOT COME OFF HARMFUL.
IT DID NOT COME OFF LIKE IT WANTED TO HURT US, BUT IT OBVIOUSLY WANTED OUR ATTENTION.
WE REGROUPED AS A TEAM LATER THAT NIGHT, AND WE WENT BACK TO THIS VORTEX AT THE TOP OF THE STAIRWELL.
WE RAN A GHOST BOX SESSION.
WHAT A GHOST BOX IS IS IT SCANS THROUGH FREQUENCIES THROUGH THE RADIO -- WHITE NOISE, IF YOU WILL -- AND IT LETS THE GHOST VOICES TALK THROUGH THEM.
Badders: THERE WAS A SUPPLY CLOSET NEXT TO THE PORTAL.
AND THERE WAS A BOOK THAT WAS LEFT THERE.
IT HAS BIBLE VERSES IN IT.
THE OWNER OF THE BUILDING DIDN'T WANT THIS BOOK TO LEAVE THE SUPPLY CLOSE JUST IN CASE SOMETHING DEMONIC COULD COME THROUGH THE PORTAL.
DURING OUR GHOST BOX SESSION, JOEY WENT INTO THE SUPPLY CLOSET, PICKED UP THE BOOK, AND HE SAID, "IS THERE ANYBODY IN HERE WITH ME?" Bennett: AT THAT TIME, HE FEL A HEAVY PRESSURE ON HIS CHEST, COULD NOT BREATHE, AND WE HEARD THE WORD "DEMON.
" Joey: WHO'S IN HERE WITH ME? Badders: IT WAS LIKE HE WASN' EVEN IN HIS BODY ANYMORE.
LIKE, HE WAS JUST GONE.
AND I SAID, "JOE, ARE YOU OKAY?" AND HE LOOKED AT ME LIKE HE HAD NO IDEA WHERE HE WAS.
I THINK PICKING UP THE BOOK JUST GAVE IT MORE FUEL TO FOCUS ITS ENERGY ON US.
Bennett: WE WERE TERRIFIED.
WE WERE SCARED BECAUSE OUT OF ALL OF OUR INVESTIGATIONS, WE HAVE NOT DEAL WITH ANYTHING DEMONIC.
AND WE BELIEVE JOEY WAS ATTACKED BY A POSSIBLE DEMONIC ENTITY.
WE HEADED BACK TO THE SECOND-FLOOR HALLWAY WITH THE CLASSROOMS, AND WE WERE RUNNING ANOTHER EVP SESSION.
Badders: WE WERE SAYING, "IF YOU WANT TO COME OUT AND TALK TO US, YOU'RE MORE THAN WELCOME TO.
WE'D REALLY LOVE TO KNOW WHO YOU ARE.
" AND AT THAT SAME TIME, IN THE VIDEO, YOU CAN SEE A FIGURE HAD ACTUALLY RAN OUT OF THE ROOM, ONE OF THE CLASSROOMS, RAN TOWARDS THE TEAM, STOPPED, LOOKED AT THEM, AND TURNED AND RAN RIGHT BACK IN THE ROOM.
Bennett: THE SPIRIT HAS WHAT LOOKS TO BE A HUMAN HEAD AND AN ARM AND A TORSO.
IT IS TRANSPARENT, AND YOU CAN SEE THROUGH IT.
IT SHOWS ITSELF AND THEN DISAPPEARS BACK INTO THE CLASSROOM.
Badders: IT REALLY SHOCKED ME JUST BECAUSE WE KNOW THA THAT CANNOT BE EXPLAINED.
Bennett: I TRULY BELIEVE THAT THAT IS THE DEMON THAT WE CAUGH DURING OUR GHOST BOX SESSION.
I WAS IN FEAR FOR THE SAFETY OF MYSELF AND OUR GROUP.
Badders: IT WAS A WARNING, IN MY OPINION, THAT YOU NEEDED TO GO OR THINGS WERE GONNA GET A LOT WORSE.
Bennett: IT WAS TIME TO LEAVE.
THE ENTIRE TEAM WAS TERRIFIED FOR OUR WELLBEING.
SOMETHING EVIL IS IN POAST TOWN, AND IT MADE ITSELF KNOWN TO US.
Badders: IT'S ABSOLUTELY TERRIFYING TO KNOW THAT THINGS EXIS IN THIS WORLD THAT WE CAN'T SEE BUT HAVE SO MUCH POWER OVER YOU WHEN YOU PUT YOURSELF THERE.
Bennett: THE INVESTIGATION OF POAST TOWN IS SOMETHING THAT I CAN NEVER FORGE BECAUSE WHAT WE EXPERIENCED WAS REAL.
AND TO THIS DAY, WHEN I THINK ABOUT IT, IT DOES TERRIFY ME.
Renier: WHEN I SAW THE FACE IN THE DOORWAY, I WAS LIKE, "HOLY CRAP.
" Zeigler: SOMETHING HAS THEIR HAND ON THAT PILLOW AND JUST YANKS IT OFF THE BED.
DARK ENTITIES, UNFORTUNATELY, AT TIMES, YES, ARE IN THE HOME.
Renier: WHEN I SAW THE FACE IN THE DOORWAY, I WAS LIKE, "HOLY CRAP.
" Zeigler: YOU CAN HEAR A CLICK, AND THEN THE DOOR OPENS UP.
Renier: MY GHOST STORY BEGAN WHEN I PURCHASED THE WHISPERS ESTATE IN MITCHELL, INDIANA.
WHEN I FIRST WALKED UP TO WHISPERS ESTATE, IT WAS FOR A PARANORMAL CONVENTION.
IT IS THE EPITOME OF SPOOKINESS.
UPON WALKING IN, YOU ACTUALLY FEEL LIKE YOU'RE WALKING BACK INTO A HOUSE FROM THE EARLY 1900s.
THEY HAVE OLD-STYLE WALLPAPER IN THE FRONT PARLOR, ORIGINAL WOODWORK -- VERY BEAUTIFUL SETTING.
I DECIDED TO BUY WHISPERS ESTATE BECAUSE OF ALL THE PARANORMAL ACTIVITY I EXPERIENCED IN THE HOUSE.
MANY A NIGHTS PRIOR TO MY BUYING THE HOUSE, I HAD BEEN THERE.
AND THERE'S SOME NIGHTS WHERE NOTHING HAPPENED.
BUT MORE OFTEN THAN NOT, I GOT THE CRAP SCARED OUT OF ME.
I MET GWEN WHEN HER AND HER HUSBAND CAME FOR AN ANNIVERSARY VISIT.
Zeigler: WHAT WAS STRANGE ABOUT MY VISI WAS AFTER I LEFT THE HOUSE, IT CONSUMED EVERY THOUGH THAT I HAD, LITERALLY.
NOW I AM ACTING GENERAL MANAGER OF THE HOUSE AND HOST THE TOURS.
Renier: SHE DID A LOT OF HISTORICAL INVESTIGATIONS FOR THE HOUSE.
Zeigler: DR.
JOHN GIBBONS STARTED HIS PRACTICE IN 1899.
PATIENTS CAME TO THE HOUSE.
THERE'S TWO ROOMS IN THE HOME -- THE EXAMINATION ROOM AND THE OPERATING ROOM.
Renier: JESSIE IS DR.
JOHN'S WIFE.
SHE DIED UPSTAIRS IN THE SECOND-FLOOR BEDROOM AFTER A BOU WITH DOUBLE PNEUMONIA.
AND A NUMBER OF TIMES, WHEN PEOPLE WALK INTO THAT ROOM, THE FIRST THING THEY GE IS TIGHTNESS OF CHEST, WHEEZING, INABILITY TO BREATHE, WHICH ARE SYMPTOMS OF HAVING PNEUMONIA.
PEOPLE WALK OUT OF THAT ROOM, CLEARS UP RIGHT AWAY.
PRETTY AMAZING.
ONE NIGHT, I WAS WALKING AROUND THE BACKYARD.
I'M LOOKING AROUND AND TAKING PHOTOS.
[ CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKING .]
I SNAPPED A PHOTO OUTSIDE THE KITCHEN, POINTED TOWARDS THE BACK GARAGE.
IN THERE, THERE'S A LOT OF MIST.
AND ON THE RIGHT SIDE, YOU CAN SEE WHAT APPEARS TO BE A SKELETON ARCHING WITH ITS HEAD UP, ALMOST LIKE IT'S SCREAMING.
Zeigler: RIGHT AWAY, WE WERE LIKE, "THIS IS AMAZING.
" Renier: IT WASN'T A COLD NIGHT.
IT WASN'T FOGGY.
THERE WAS NOBODY SMOKING.
THERE'S NO LOGICAL EXPLANATION FOR THAT MUCH MIST.
Zeigler: THERE IS, REPORTEDLY, A MASS PI GRAVE UNDERNEATH THE GARAGE WHICH, WHEN DR.
JOHN GIBBONS PERFORMED ANY TYPE OF SURGERY AND HE HAD A BODY PAR OR SOMETHING THAT HE AMPUTATED, IT WAS VERY COMMON BACK THEN TO JUST CHUCK IT IN THE BACKYARD.
THEY DIDN'T DISPOSE OF I LIKE WE DO TODAY.
Renier: WHEN I SAW THAT SKELETON, I FIGURED, "WELL, THAT'S VALIDATION THAT THERE'S AN ACTUAL PIT GRAVE THERE.
" WE ALSO HAVE DOZENS OF PHOTOS OF PEOPLE HAVING PHYSICAL INTERACTION.
WE HAVE PEOPLE WITH SCRATCHES ON THEIR NECK.
Zeigler: I THINK THAT THE SPIRITS ARE SO DESPERATE TO COMMUNICATE THAT THEY JUST REACH OUT, JUST MAYBE TO TOUCH US, AND IT JUST HAPPENS TO COME ACROSS AS A SCRATCH.
Renier: AT WHISPERS ESTATE, WE FREQUENTLY HAVE PEOPLE TAKING PHOTOS.
EVEN DURING THE DAY, WE HAVE VISUAL ANOMALIES IN PHOTOGRAPHS, SUCH AS THE FACE IN THE DOORWAY.
WHEN I FIRST SAW THAT, I WAS LIKE, "HOLY CRAP.
" IT LOOKS LIKE SOMEBODY'S ACTUALLY LOOKING OU FROM THAT DOORWAY TO US.
Zeigler: I'VE RESEARCHED EVERYONE THAT HAS LIVED IN THE HOME.
I SAID, "I'M PRETTY SURE I KNOW WHO THAT IS.
THAT'S MABEL HOPPER RIGHT THERE.
" Renier: WE FOUND A PHOTO OF A WOMAN WHO LIVED IN THE HOUSE IN THE MID '50s.
MABEL WAS A MUSICAL TEACHER AT THE LOCAL HIGH SCHOOL.
WHEN WE MADE THE CONNECTION BETWEEN THE FACE IN THE DOOR AND MABEL HOPPER, WE WERE FLOORED.
Zeigler: WHEN I SEE FACES OF SPIRITS IN A DOOR, IT'S VERY TOUCHING TO ME BECAUSE IT'S LIKE THEY DON'T WANT TO BE FORGOTTEN.
I THINK SHE WAS JUST SAYING, "HEY, REMEMBER ME?" Renier: THERE'S A NUMBER OF TIMES WHERE PEOPLE HAVE DONE INVESTIGIONS AND THEY'VE GOTTEN SOMETHING ON VIDEO.
Zeigler: THE GROUP WAS IN DR.
JOHN'S OPERATING ROOM.
Renier: THERE ARE TWO INVESTIGATORS ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE BED NOT MAKING ANY MOVEMENTS.
AND THEN ON THE RIGHT SIDE, YOU SEE THE PILLOW BEING PULLED OFF BY AN UNSEEN PRESENCE.
Zeigler: WHEN YOU LOOK AT THAT VIDEO, YOU SEE NOT ONLY THE PILLOW FALLING OFF THE BED, BUT YOU ALSO SEE, LIKE, A WHITE STREAK GO UP.
IT'S KIND OF LIKE, "OKAY, I'M MOVING THIS PILLOW, AND THEN I'M LEAVING.
" ALL OF SUDDEN, IT'S AS THOUGH SOMETHING HAS THEIR HAND ON THAT PILLOW AND JUST YANKS IT OFF THE BED.
IT'S PRETTY INTENSE WHEN IT HAPPENS.
I THINK IT FREAKED ALL OF THEM OUT A LITTLE BIT.
ONE EVENING, WE HAD A GROUP THERE.
Renier: THEY HAD CAMERAS SET UP INSIDE JESSIE'S BEDROOM AND ONE DOWN THE HALL POINTED TOWARDS JESSIE'S DOORWAY.
JESSIE'S CHAMBER IS THE ROOM IN WHICH DOCTOR'S WIFE, JESSIE, PASSED AWAY IN.
THERE WERE A COUPLE OF PEOPLE IN JESSIE'S ROOM ASKING IF ANYBODY'S THERE, PLEASE MAKE YOUR PRESENCE KNOWN, THINGS LIKE THAT.
AND, ALL OF A SUDDEN, THEY HEAR THE DOORKNOB TURN.
AND THEN THE DOOR OPENS UP.
Zeigler: AND SURE ENOUGH, YOU CAN HEAR A CLICK, AND THEN THE DOOR OPENS UP.
Renier: THERE'S NOBODY IN THE HALL OR NEAR THE DOOR.
THERE'S NO EXPLANATION FOR THE DOOR OPENING UP.
Zeigler: WE HAVE SO DESPERATELY TRIED TO DEBUNK THAT.
I HAVE RUN UP AND DOWN THE STEPS.
WE'VE SLAMMED ALL THE DOORS TO TRY TO GET IT TO OPEN.
AND NOBODY CAN DEBUNK THIS DOOR OPENING.
Renier: I BELIEVE IT COULD BE THE SPIRIT OF JESSIE GIBBONS OPENING THAT DOOR BECAUSE IT WAS HER BEDROOM.
THERE'S SO MANY ENTITIES WE BELIEVE ARE IN THIS HOUSE, AND THEY'RE DOING SO MANY DIFFERENT THINGS.
I BELIEVE THE SPIRIT OF DR.
JOHN STILL FEELS THAT IT'S HIS HOUSE AND HE DOESN'T LIKE PEOPLE BEING THERE.
Zeigler: DARK ENTITIES, UNFORTUNATELY, AT TIMES, YES, ARE IN THE HOME.
Renier: WHEN YOU GO TO THIS HOUSE, THE SPIRITS WILL DEFINITELY LET YOU KNOW THEY ARE THERE.
Coffey: I FELT THE SPIRIT ENERGY STANDING RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME AND TOOK A SHOT OF IT.
-IT'S A PERFECT SPIRIT ORB.
-McKeand: THAT COULD BE REAL.
Coffey: THIS LOCATION HAD MANY SPIRITS.
McKeand: I WAS SHOCKED MORE THAN ANYTHING.
Coffey: THE GHOST ACTUALLY SAYS, "WHERE?" HOLY SMOKES.
Coffey: I FELT A SPIRIT ENERGY.
[ CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS .]
IT'S A PERFECT SPIRIT ORB.
THIS LOCATION HAD MANY SPIRITS.
McKeand: I WAS SHOCKED.
Coffey: THE GHOST ACTUALLY SAYS, "WHERE?" HOLY SMOKES.
McKeand: MY GHOST STORY BEGAN WHEN I STARTED WORKING AT BUFFALO BILLIARDS IN AUSTIN, TEXAS.
WHEN I FIRST STARTED WORKING AT BUFFALO BILLIARDS, THERE WAS A NEWS SEGMEN ABOUT IT BEING HAUNTED.
AND I THOUGH THAT WAS PRETTY NEAT.
THE BUILDING'S BEEN THERE SINCE THE 1800s.
I KNOW IT'S BEEN A GROCERY STORE.
IT USED TO BE SOME SORT OF A BED-AND-BREAKFAST HOTEL.
I KNOW PEOPLE PASSING THROUGH WOULD STAY THERE.
SOME OF THE EXPERIENCES I'VE HAD AT BUFFALO BILLIARDS WHILE I'VE WORKED THERE HAVE SCARED ME.
WE USED TO HAVE A PHONE THAT WOULD RING AT THE SAME TIME EVERY SINGLE NIGHT.
WE WOULD PICK IT UP, AND THERE WOULD BE NO ONE THERE.
THERE'S ALSO LIGHTS THAT FLICKER ON AND OFF.
I WAS CLOSING ONE OF THE BARS UPSTAIRS BY MYSELF ONE NIGHT, AND I HEARD A LOUD BANGING ON THE DOOR, AS IF SOMEBODY WAS LOCKED OUT.
SO I STOPPED WHAT I WAS DOING, AND I RAN OVER TO THE DOOR.
AND I STEPPED OUTSIDE, AND NOBODY WAS THERE.
I WAS SHOCKED MORE THAN ANYTHING.
ALL THE HAIR ON MY NECK STOOD UP, AND I WAS SCARED.
ONE COOK THAT USED TO WORK THERE SAW A LITTLE BOY RUN THROUGH THE KITCHEN DOORS ALL THE WAY AROUND THE KITCHEN.
SO HE WALKED OU AND STARTED ASKING ABOUT THIS CHILD THAT WAS RUNNING AROUND.
AND THEY SAID THA THERE WAS NO CHILD IN THE BAR.
THERE WAS NO ONE THERE BUT EMPLOYEES.
ONE NIGHT AFTER WE WERE CLOSED, I HAD A FELLOW COWORKER WITH ME.
AND AS SOON AS WE GOT TO THE TOP OF THE STAIRS, I SAW A FEMALE.
SHE WAS YOUNG.
SHE HAD LONG, CURLY, FLOWING BLOND HAIR.
SHE WAS WEARING A BIG VICTORIAN DRESS.
I COULD SEE RIGHT THROUGH HER.
AND I REALIZED THAT SHE WAS STARING DIRECTLY INTO MY EYES.
AND SHE HAD KIND OF A GOLDEN GLOW ALL AROUND HER.
WE WERE FREAKED OUT.
I KNOW WHAT I SAW, THOUGH, AND I WAS REALLY SCARED.
THE OWNER OF BUFFALO BILLIARDS DECIDED TO ALLOW A TEAM TO COME IN AND CHECK THE PLACE OUT.
ONE OF THE EMPLOYEES ASKED ME IF I WOULD DO AN INTERVIEW WITH PAUL, THE INVESTIGATOR, BECAUSE I'VE GO THE MOST STORIES BECAUSE I'VE BEEN THERE FOR SUCH A LONG TIME.
Coffey: FAITH HAD EXPLAINED TO US THE HISTORY OF THE BUILDING.
IT JUST REALLY HEIGHTENED MY WANTING TO GO AND INVESTIGATE.
McKeand: WHEN I TOLD PAUL ABOUT THE APPARITION THAT I SAW, HE WAS VERY EXCITED BECAUSE HE TOLD ME THAT IT'S VERY RARE THAT SOMEONE ACTUALLY SEES AN APPARITION LIKE I SAW.
Coffey: WE THEN IMMEDIATELY STARTED UNPACKING OUR EQUIPMENT.
WE WERE INTENDING ON USING MANY VIDEO CAMERAS AND SOUND RECORDERS.
McKeand: THEY HAD A LOT OF EQUIPMEN THAT I HAD NEVER SEEN BEFORE.
Coffey: THEN WE WENT TO THE BAR ON THE SECOND FLOOR.
I STOOD IN BETWEEN THE BILLIARD TABLES TO SEE IF I CAN PROVOKE SOME OF THESE SPIRITS TO COME AND INTERACT WITH US.
AND I ASKED THEM TO SHOW THEMSELVES AND NOT BE AFRAID.
A BIG WAFTING CLOUD OF COLD AIR CAME TOWARDS ME.
I FELT THE SPIRIT ENERGY STANDING RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME.
I WAS JUST AMAZED, AND I PICKED UP MY CAMERA AND TOOK A SHOT OF IT.
I NOTICED THAT I CAPTURED AN ORB, A SPIRIT ORB, RIGHT ABOVE THE SIDE OF THE POOL TABLE.
AND AS SOON AS I SAW THAT, I SAID, "OKAY, WE DEFINITELY HAVE SOMETHING GOING ON HERE.
" IT'S A PERFECT SPIRIT ORB.
McKeand: HE SHOWED ME PICTURES OF POOL TABLES AND DIFFERENT AREAS AROUND THE BAR WITH GLOWING ORBS.
AND HE EXPLAINED TO ME THAT THESE ORBS ARE, IN FACT, SPIRITS.
WHEN I SAW THE PHOTOGRAPHS OF THE ORBS, AT FIRST I THOUGHT MAYBE IT'S SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE CAMERA, MAYBE IT'S DUST.
BUT THE ONES WHERE THEY'RE CLEAR AND NOTHING ELSE IS AROUND DEFINITELY MADE ME FEEL LIKE THAT COULD BE REAL.
Coffey: WE WANTED TO CAPTURE SOME EVP, SO WE BROUGHT OUT A GHOST BOX.
A GHOST BOX IS A RADIO THAT'S BEEN CONVERTED SO THA IT SWEEPS THROUGH FREQUENCIES SO THE SPIRITS CAN TALK THROUGH THIS DEVICE.
AND WE CAPTURED A COUPLE OF GOOD DIRECT RESPONSES.
THEN I WENT ON TO SAY THE GHOST ACTUALLY SAYS, "WHERE?" HOLY SMOKES.
THAT WAS AN AMAZING RESPONSE.
McKeand: WHEN I HEARD THAT EVP THAT PAUL HAD TAKEN IT MADE ME A LITTLE UNEASY.
Coffey: THERE ARE DEFINITELY SPIRITS AT BUFFALO BILLIARDS.
McKeand: PAUL DID TAKE ONE VIDEO.
HE WAS SITTING UPSTAIRS IN THE ROOM THAT HAS PROBABLY THE MOST ACTIVITY IN IT.
Coffey: I WAS SITTING IN THE SECOND-FLOOR BAR, AND I WAS CONDUCTING A GHOST BOX SESSION AND ALSO USING DOWSING RODS AT THE TIME.
AND I USED A CAMERA JUST TO SEE IF I CAN CAPTURE ANY MOVEMEN OR SPIRITS OR ANOMALIES AROUND ME.
AT THE TIME, I DID SENSE SPIRITS MOVING AROUND ME.
AND I COULD SEE THEM SOMETIMES, AND OTHER TIMES, I COULDN'T.
I WAS ABLE TO CAPTURE LIGH ANOMALIES FLOATING AROUND ME AS I WAS SPEAKING TO THE SPIRITS.
WHEN I SAW THE VIDEO OF THE ORBS FLYING AROUND ME AND BY ME, IT JUST VALIDATED THE FACT THA THIS LOCATION HAD MANY SPIRITS.
McKeand: I BELIEVE THE FLOATING ORBS THAT HE HAS IN HIS VIDEO COULD POSSIBLY BE SPIRITS OF PEOPLE THAT PASSED THROUGH THERE, MAYBE OF THE WOMAN THAT I SAW.
Coffey: I WAS AGAIN CONDUCTING A DOWSING ROD SESSION.
AND I HAD ASKED, "ARE THERE ANY FEMALE SPIRITS HERE AT THIS LOCATION?" AND IT CAME BACK TO SAY THAT THERE WAS ONE AND HER NAME WAS DEBORAH.
I HAD ASKED, "CAN THE SPIRI DEBORAH SHOW ITSELF?" I DIDN'T GET A RESPONSE RIGHT OFF THE BAT.
HOWEVER, WHEN WE WERE STANDING BY THE BAR ON THE SECOND FLOOR, I LOOKED DOWN TO THE ENTRANCE OF THE LOWER BAR, AND I SAW THIS GRAY GLOW.
I COULD SEE A HEAD IN THAT GRAY GLOW.
I SAID, "THAT'S SOMEBODY STANDING THERE.
" AND I'M LIKE, "OH, MY GOD.
" [ CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS .]
AND SURE ENOUGH, I CAPTURED WHAT I BELIEVE TO BE THE SPIRIT OF DEBORAH.
THAT WAS AN AMAZING MOMEN FOR ME.
McKeand: YOU CAN SEE A PURPLISH, REDDISH GLOW.
AND IT'S NOT AN ORB LIKE SOME OF THE OTHER PICTURES THAT HE TOOK.
IT'S KIND OF LONG, AND IT'S GLOWING.
IT WAS VERY SURPRISING BECAUSE I KNOW THA THAT SECTION OF THE ROOM HAS ABSOLUTELY NO LIGHT IN I WHATSOEVER.
Coffey: I BELIEVE THE SPIRI THAT WE CAPTURED THAT EVENING WAS THE VERY SAME SPIRI THAT FAITH HAD SEEN.
AND WHEN I SHOWED HER A PICTURE OF THE SPIRIT, SHE ACTUALLY SAID, "THAT IS THE ONE I SAW.
" SO IT WAS KIND OF SOME VALIDATION THAT, IN FACT, THERE IS A FULL-BODY APPARITION THAT WALKS AROUND UP THERE.
McKeand: AFTER EVERYTHING THAT I'VE SEEN AND HEARD THERE, I DEFINITELY BELIEVE THAT THERE ARE SPIRITS AROUND US ALL THE TIME.
Coffey: IT'S RATHER OBVIOUS TO ME THAT THERE ARE MANY SPIRITS CALLING BUFFALO BILLIARDS STILL ITS HOME.
THEY HAVE NO PROBLEM INTERACTING WITH US OR EVEN SHOWING THEMSELVES TO US.
McKeand: I'VE QUESTIONED MYSELF ABOUT WHAT I'VE SEEN AND HEARD, AND I KNOW OTHER EMPLOYEES HAVE, TOO.
PAUL'S EVIDENCE DEFINITELY VALIDATED WHAT I SAW WAS REAL AND WHAT I'VE EXPERIENCED WAS REAL.
Thomas: WHEN YOU'RE DEALING WITH THE PARANORMAL, YOU NEVER KNOW WHA YOU'RE GONNA GET YOURSELF INTO.
I TURNED AROUND.
THE LIGHT JUST COMES ON OUT OF NOWHERE.
McBride: I TOOK A PICTURE.
IT HAD A BLACK FIGURE STANDING IN THE WINDOW.
IT'S AMAZING.
Thomas: THERE WAS A BRIGHT LIGHT ANOMALY.
IT'S IMPOSSIBLE.
Thomas: I TURNED AROUND.
THE LIGHT JUST COMES ON OUT OF NOWHERE.
McBride: I TOOK A PICTURE.
IT HAD A BLACK FIGURE STANDING IN THE WINDOW.
IT'S AMAZING.
MY GHOST STORY BEGAN WHEN I STEPPED INSIDE THE GALAX SMOKEHOUSE IN GALAX, VIRGINIA.
ME AND CRAIG MET WORKING ON A HAUNTED HOUSE TOGETHER IN VIRGINIA.
HE BECAME A PART OF MY TEAM.
Thomas: I WANTED TO KNOW THE TRUTH.
WHAT IS IT REALLY LIKE TO ENCOUNTER THE PARANORMAL ITSELF? McBride: CRAIG AND I, WE TOOK A GHOST WALK TOUR THROUGH GALAX TO HEAR SOME OF THE HAUNTED HISTORY.
THAT STRUCK MY INTERES ON THE TOWN.
AND AS THE TOUR WENT, WE HEARD OF THE OLD DRUG COMPANY THAT WAS STARTED UP BY A DOCTOR THAT HAD A DENTIST OFFICE UPSTAIRS.
AND SEVERAL YEARS AFTER IT SHUT DOWN, A GENTLEMAN BOUGHT I AND TURNED IT INTO A RESTAURANT, WHICH IS NOW THE GALAX SMOKEHOUSE.
Thomas: THE CLAIMS WERE THAT THE LIGHT WOULD COME ON AND GO OFF, AND THEY'VE HEARD THINGS MOVE AROUND AND DARK SHADOWS.
McBride: SO I DECIDED TO CALL THE OWNER AND SEE IF WE COULD INVESTIGATE AND SEE IF WE COULD FIND ANY SPIRIT LIFE THERE FROM THE OLD DOCTOR OR ANY EMPLOYEES THAT MAYBE HAD WORKED THERE.
Thomas: WHEN WE ARRIVED AT THE GALAX SMOKEHOUSE, WE SET UP OUR EQUIPMENT.
McBride: YOU COULD TELL SOMETHING WAS THERE.
YOU COULD FEEL A PRESENCE COME UP ON YOU.
WE HAD HEARD STORIES OF HOW THE LIGHTS WOULD CUT ON AND CUT OFF.
Thomas: THEY HAD A TRIPOD AND A CAMERA POINTING AT THE ROOM.
AND I HAD JUS A REGULAR CAMCORDER IN MY HAND.
RACHEL WAS PROBABLY ABOUT 20 FEET AWAY.
SHE'S TAKING PICTURES EVERYWHERE ELSE.
AND I ASK, "IS THERE ANY POSSIBLE WAY YOU COULD TURN A LIGHT ON FOR US OR CAN YOU TURN A LIGHT OFF?" WELL, WHEN I TURNED AROUND, THE LIGHT JUST COMES ON OUT OF NOWHERE.
I SAID, "RACHEL, I TURNED THIS LIGHT SWITCH OFF BEFORE WE EVEN STARTED THE INVESTIGATION.
" AND SHE SAYS, "WELL, YOU GOT TO BE KIDDING ME.
" WE WERE THE ONLY TWO UPSTAIRS.
EVERYBODY ELSE WAS DOWN IN THE BASEMENT.
THERE'S NO POSSIBLE WAY THAT LIGHT SWITCH COULD HAVE JUST CAME ON BY ITSELF.
IT'S IMPOSSIBLE.
McBride: AFTER THE LIGH IN THE ROOM CAME BACK ON, HE WAS KIND OF SKITTISH, A LITTLE SKEPTICAL, MAYBE.
Thomas: I FELT A COLD PRESENCE GRAB AHOLD OF MY ARM.
THAT WAS PROBABLY THE MOST INTENSIFYING MOMEN THAT I EVER HAD.
I SAID, "RACHEL, COME HERE AND LOOK AT THIS.
" McBride: HE JUST HAD THIS LOOK ON HIS FACE WHEN HE HIT THAT COLD THAT WAS UNREAL.
Thomas: AND SHE COMES OVER THERE AND SEES MY ARM.
McBride: THE HAIR WAS, LIKE, STANDING UP, AND HIS EYES WERE KIND OF BIG.
HE WAS JUST LIKE, "YOU'RE NOT GONNA BELIEVE THIS, BUT I'M FREEZING HERE.
" Thomas: I NEVER NOTICED I WITH MY OWN EYES UNTIL I SEEN THE VIDEO ITSELF.
THERE WAS A BRIGHT LIGHT ANOMALY COMING ACROSS.
AND THERE'S NO OTHER LIGHT SOURCE THERE TO MAKE THAT LIGHT SHOW UP.
WHERE ELSE COULD THE LIGHT SOURCE COME FROM EXCEPT FROM A SPIRI ACTUALLY TRYING TO FORM ITSELF TO SHOW ITSELF TO ME? AND THAT'S WHEN I FELT A COLD SPOT ON MY RIGHT-HAND ARM.
McBride: I'M GONNA SAY HE WAS MAYBE SCARED A LITTLE, ANXIOUS, AND EXCITED.
I BELIEVE THE LIGHT ANOMALY WAS THE SPIRIT OF A LADY THAT WORKED THERE AT THE DRUG COMPANY.
CRAIG AND I WENT INTO THE MOP ROOM AREA.
AND THERE'S A COUNTER THERE THAT WAS LIKE AN ICE CREAM AND SODA FOUNTAIN.
WE HAD TOYS AND DIFFERENT TRIGGER OBJECTS SET OUT THROUGH THE AREA.
WE WERE JUST KIND OF TALKING TO THE SPIRITS, LETTING THEM KNOW THAT WE'RE HERE IF YOU HAVE ANYTHING THAT YOU WANT TO SAY TO US.
AND I TOOK A PICTURE.
IT HAD A BLACK FIGURE STANDING IN THE WINDOW.
YOU CAN MAKE OUT THE SHOULDERS, THE HEAD, THE BODY.
IT MADE US FEEL EXCITED.
Thomas: I FELT COMFORTABLE.
THEN AGAIN, I WAS STILL SCARED.
RACHEL GOES, "YOU WANT TO GO AHEAD AND TURN THE GHOST BOX ON?" I SAID, "YEAH, LET'S TRY THAT.
" I TURN MY CAMCORDER AROUND, AND BY THE TIME I GOT TO THE GHOST BOX, IT SAID MY NAME -- CRAIG.
IT JUST SAID "CRAIG" OUT OF NOWHERE.
I DON'T KNOW IF IT WAS TRYING TO TELL ME TO LEAVE IT ALONE OR LET ME KNOW, "HEY, I KNOW YOUR NAME.
YOUR NAME'S CRAIG.
" McBride: I BELIEVE IT COULD BE THE OLD DOCTOR THAT OWNED THE PLACE.
THE FACT THAT WE HAVE CAUGH A MALE VOICE TALKING TO US LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THAT IT'S HIM.
LATER THAT NIGHT, WE HEARD FOOTSTEPS COME UP THE STAIRS FROM, LIKE, THE BASEMENT AREA.
NO ONE EVER CAME UP.
NO ONE EVER CAME DOWN.
SO WE DECIDED TO PUT A VIDEO CAMERA AT THE BOTTOM OF THE STAIRS SHOOTING UP.
WHEN WE GOT HOME AND WAS VIEWING EVERYTHING, THERE'S A VIDEO OF A LITTLE RED LIGH IS IN THE CENTER OF THE CAMERA.
WHEN I SAW THAT VIDEO OF THE LIGHT ANOMALY, I COULDN'T BELIEVE IT.
IT'S AMAZING.
I THINK IT'S AN EMPLOYEE THAT WORKED FOR THE OWNERS.
A LITTLE WHILE LATER, WE WENT DOWN INTO THE BASEMEN TO SEE IF WE COULD COMMUNICATE WITH SOME SPIRITS.
AND CRAIG, HE WAS SHOOTING WITH HIS VIDEO CAMERA.
AND HE WAS ASKING IF DR.
BOLAND WAS THERE, WHICH WAS THE NAME OF THE DRUG COMPANY AND THE OWNER.
I WAS SET UP BEHIND CRAIG, TAKING PHOTOS.
Thomas: AS I WAS TRYING TO GET UP OFF THE GROUND, I'VE GOT PAIN IN MY BACK.
McBride: HE SAID THAT HIS BACK WAS REALLY HURTING, IT WAS GETTING REALLY BAD.
Thomas: FEEL LIKE SOMEBODY'S TAKING KNIVES TO ME.
McBride: THE ATMOSPHERE KIND OF CHANGED A LITTLE DOWN THERE.
Thomas: I WAS SCARED BECAUSE I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO.
McBride: AND WE TOOK A PICTURE.
AND IT'S A FACE ON THE BACK OF CRAIG'S HEAD.
YOU CAN SEE, LIKE, THE EYES AND A NOSE, MOUTH, THE WHOLE FACE.
AND IT OCCURRED AT THE SAME TIME THAT HE SAID HE FELT SOMETHING WAS ON HIM.
SO, IT WAS SCARY TO SEE THAT PICTURE ON HIM AND TO KNOW THAT SOMETHING ACTUALLY MAY HAVE HURT HIM.
Thomas: WHEN I SEEN THE PHOTO OF THE FACE, I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO THINK.
BUT WHEN YOU DO THE PARANORMAL, YOU NEVER KNOW WHA YOU'RE GONNA GET YOURSELF INTO.
I BELIEVE THE SPIRI ON THE BACK OF MY HEAD WAS THE SPIRIT OF THE OWNER.
McBride: HE WAS A DOCTOR.
HE DID TREAT PEOPLE FOR PAINS.
AND I THINK MAYBE HE WAS TRYING TO HELP CRAIG.
AT THE END OF THE NIGHT, WE WAS WRAPPING UP.
AND I DECIDED TO LEAVE SOME FLOWERS THAT I HAD BROUGHT.
I OFFERED THEM TO THE FEMALE SPIRIT THAT'S THERE.
CRAIG AND I WAS THANKING HER FOR COMMUNICATING WITH US AND LETTING US CAPTURE HER.
AND WE GOT AN EVP SAYING THANK YOU.
IT BREAKS MY HEAR TO KNOW THAT SHE IS STILL HERE.
THE FACT THA THE SPIRIT SAID THANK YOU WAS TELLING ME SHE HEARD EVERYTHING I SAID AND SHE WAS THANKFUL THA I WAS GIVING HER A GIFT BACK.
Thomas: THAT WAS HEARTWARMING.
McBride: THE WHOLE EXPERIENCE OF THE GALAX SMOKEHOUSE HAS AFFECTED ME BY BEING ABLE TO KNOW AND TO PROVE WITHOUT A DOUB THAT THERE IS SPIRITS WALKING AMONG US.
Thomas: FROM THE EVP TO MY NAME TO THE VIDEO OF THE LIGHT ORB TO THE GHOSTLY ENCOUNTER OF SOMETHING PUSHING DOWN ON ME, THESE EXPERIENCES WILL FOREVER BE PART OF MY LIFE.
McBride: IF WE SHOW THEM THE RESPEC THAT THEY'RE LOOKING FOR, THEY WILL SHOW YOU THE KINDNESS BACK.
IT HAD A BLACK FIGURE STANDING IN THE WINDOW.
WITHOUT A DOUBT, IT CHILLED ME TO THE BONE.
Thomas: THERE WAS A BRIGHT LIGH COMING ACROSS, AND IT JUST STOPS.
IT'S IMPOSSIBLE.
Bennett: IN THE VIDEO, YOU SEE A SHADOW FIGURE COME OUT OF THE WALL AND THEN WALKS AWAY AND DISAPPEARS.
Badders: I WAS TERRIFIED.
THAT CANNOT BE EXPLAINED.
Bret: IMMEDIATELY, THE K-II PEAKED.
THERE ARE SPIRITS IN THIS BUILDING DESPERATELY SEEKING HELP.
WE FOUND A FULL-BODY APPARITION OF A SMALL BOY.
THE APPARITION DID NO SHOW US A SOLID OBJECT.
WE WERE JUST SHOCKED.
Coffey: I DID SENSE SPIRITS MOVING AROUND ME, AND I CAPTURED A SPIRIT ORB.
McKeand: YOU CAN SEE A PURPLISH GLOW.
THAT SECTION OF THE ROOM HAS ABSOLUTELY NO LIGHT IN I WHATSOEVER.
I WAS REALLY SCARED.
Renier: THERE'S A LOT OF MIST.
YOU CAN SEE WHAT APPEARS TO BE A SKELETON ARCHING WITH ITS HEAD UP, ALMOST LIKE IT'S SCREAMING.
THERE'S NO LOGICAL EXPLANATION FOR THAT MIST.
Gina: WE PICKED UP AN EVP THAT SAID Bret: THE K-II METER WENT OFF FOR 12 STRAIGHT MINUTES.
IT WAS A FULL-BODY APPARITION OF A SMALL BOY.
MY GHOST STORY BEGAN WHEN MY WIFE, GINA, AND I VISITED THE MENTZ HOTEL IN PARK CITY, KENTUCKY.
I BECAME INTERESTED IN INVESTIGATING WHEN I WAS A TEENAGER.
WHEN I FIRST MET GINA, THAT WAS ONE OF THE THINGS THAT BROUGHT US TOGETHER RIGHT OFF THE BAT.
IT'S KIND OF UNUSUAL TO MEET SOMEBODY ELSE THAT HAS SUCH AN AVID INTERES IN THE PARANORMAL.
Gina: WHEN WE DISCOVERED THAT WE BOTH HAD, YOU KNOW, THIS PASSION FOR THE PARANORMAL, WE DECIDED TO START INVESTIGATING TOGETHER.
Bret: I FIRST COME TO HEAR ABOUT THE MENTZ HOTEL FROM SOME FRIENDS OF OURS.
THEY TOLD US OF DOORS SLAMMING PEOPLE SEEING SHADOW FIGURES.
[ WHISPERING .]
WE FOUND OUT THAT IT WAS BUIL IN THE LATE 1880s.
AND THROUGH THE YEARS, IT'S BEEN VARIOUS THINGS, INCLUDING THE BAULCH JUNIOR SCHOOL FOR BOYS.
WE WERE VERY INTERESTED TO GO UP THERE AND INVESTIGATE I FOR OURSELVES.
WE PULLED INTO THE DRIVE, AND I LOOKED UP AT THE OLD BUILDING AND INSTANTLY GOT A FEELING THAT I WAS BEING WATCHED.
Gina: YOU'RE OVERWHELMED BY THE SIZE OF THE PLACE, AND IT'S VERY OLD, SO IT'S JUST GO AN EERIE FEELING.
WE FELT THIS VERY KIND OF HEAVY PRESENCE, ESPECIALLY RIGHT INTO THE DINING AREA.
Bret: IN A MAIN DINING ROOM AREA OF THE MENTZ, THE BOYS' SCHOOL USED I FOR THEIR MAIN CAFETERIA.
WE DECIDED THAT'S WHERE WE'RE GONNA SET UP OUR EQUIPMENT.
I QUICKLY GRAB MY CAMERA.
I WANTED TO DO REFERENCE SHOTS BEFORE THE SUN WENT DOWN.
WE LIKE TO DO THA BECAUSE WE DON'T WANT TO HAVE SOMETHING MISTAKEN THAT COULD POSSIBLY BE FALSE EVIDENCE.
AND ABOUT THE FOURTH OR FIFTH PHOTO THAT I TOOK THAT NIGHT, WE FOUND A FULL-BODY APPARITION OF A SMALL BOY.
WE WERE JUST SHOCKED WHEN WE FOUND IT.
WE KNEW THA THERE WAS NO CHILDREN PRESENT.
AND IT WAS SUCH A CLEAR PHOTO.
IT WAS IN COLOR.
AND IT SEEMED LIKE THAT HE HAD JUST CAME DOWN AND WAS JUST CURIOUS ABOUT US.
Gina: I WAS PRETTY SHOCKED, AMAZED.
I COULDN'T BELIEVE THAT WE CAUGH SUCH A CLEAR, FANTASTIC PHOTO OF THIS LITTLE BOY.
Bret: ONE OF THE FIRST THINGS THAT WE DID WHEN WE DISCOVERED THE APPARITION IN THE PHOTO WAS TO DO A REVERSE NEGATIVE OF IT.
AND WHEN WE DID, WE SAW THE OTHER GENTLEMAN THAT WAS WITH US THAT NIGH SHOWING UP AS A SOLID OBJECT.
BUT THE APPARITION OF THE LITTLE BOY DID NOT SHOW AS A SOLID OBJECT.
YOU COULD CLEARLY TELL THAT IT WASN'T.
ANY TIME WE FIND A SPIRI OF A CHILD AT A LOCATION, IT'S SOMETHING THAT REALLY DOES BOTHER GINA AND I BECAUSE WE ALWAYS HAVE A SENSE THAT WE WANT TO TRY TO HELP THEM.
A LOT OF TIMES WE FEEL THA THEY'RE MAYBE BEING HELD THERE BY SOMETHING THAT'S A STRONGER ENTITY THAN THEM.
AND THAT'S KIND OF THE FEELING THAT WE HAD ABOUT THE LITTLE BOY.
AFTER A COUPLE HOURS INTO THE INVESTIGATION, THINGS SEEMED TO SLOW DOWN SOMEWHAT.
EVERYBODY WAS WALKING OU THE SIDE ENTRANCE, GOING OUTSIDE TO GET SOME FRESH AIR.
AND SOMETHING INSIDE OF ME JUS SAID TO WALK TO THE STAIRCASE.
AND I WAS STILL HOLDING A K-II METER, AND IT PEAKED.
AND IMMEDIATELY, THE K-II HIT AGAIN.
AND IT PROCEEDED TO GET INTELLIGENT RESPONSES TO QUESTIONS THAT I WAS ASKING FOR 12 STRAIGHT MINUTES.
I SAID, "CAN YOU COME CLOSER?" IT WENT OFF.
I WOULD THANK THEM FOR SPEAKING TO ME.
IT WENT OFF.
Gina: IT WAS SUCH DIRECT RESPONSES.
AND TO LAST THAT LONG -- I'VE NEVER SEEN K-II INTERACTION LIKE THAT BEFORE IN ANY INVESTIGATION.
Bret: GINA AND I WENT UPSTAIRS.
AND WE DECIDED TO ATTEMPT TO USE THE OVILUS JUST TO SEE IF WE COULD POSSIBLY GET SOME NAMES OF WHO MIGHT BE HOLDING THESE CHILDREN THERE.
Gina: WE WERE ASKING SOME QUESTIONS.
Bret: AND AT THAT TIME, WE GOT THE WORD "MURDER.
" Gina: JUST, YOU KNOW, OUT OF THE BLUE, IT CAME UP "MURDER.
" IT REALLY GOT MY ATTENTION, AND IT IS SCARY.
JUST SECONDS LATER, WE ALSO PICKED UP AN EVP THAT SAID IT SOUNDS LIKE A FEMALE SAYING IT.
IT'S A LITTLE BIT OF A WHISPER, BUT IT WAS A STRONG EVP.
Bret: IT DID SEEM, WHEN THE LADY WAS REFERRING TO THE PHRASE "MURDER" ON THE OVILUS BY SAYING "YOU CAN COMPLETE THAT," OUR IMPRESSION WAS THA SHE WAS ACTUALLY WANTING US TO MURDER SOMEBODY, TO COMPLETE, LIKE, SOMETHING MAYBE THAT SHE TRIED TO DO AT ONE TIME HERSELF, POSSIBLY.
WE DECIDED TO TRY TO GET TO THE BOTTOM OF EVERYTHING THAT WAS GOING ON AND USE WHAT IS CALLED A SPIRIT BOX.
A SPIRIT BOX IS BASICALLY A RADIO WITH THE SCAN BUTTON DISENGAGED, AND SPIRITS ARE ABLE TO COMMUNICATE IN THE WHITE NOISE COMING IN ON THE FREQUENCIES.
SO, WE SET UP THE SPIRIT BOX AT THE BASE OF THE STAIRS BECAUSE THAT'S WHERE GINA AND I FEL THAT THE MOST ENERGY IN THE MENTZ WAS.
IMMEDIATELY AFTER STARTING THE SPIRIT BOX UP, WE HEARD A LOUD BANG.
[ BANG .]
AND SOMEONE IN THE PARTY THAT WAS WITH US SAID, "WHAT IS THAT?" IMMEDIATELY THROUGH THE SPIRIT BOX, WE GET Gina: IT SAID, "IT'S A SPIRIT.
" Bret: THE SPIRIT'S COMING THROUGH THE SPIRIT BOX TELLING US THAT'S A SPIRIT, REFERRING TO THE NOISE THAT WE HAD HEARD IN THE DINNING ROOM.
[ BANG .]
IT JUST VERIFIED ONCE AGAIN THAT THERE ARE SPIRITS IN THIS BUILDING WHO ARE DESPERATELY SEEKING HELP TO MOVE ON TO WHERE THEY NEED TO BE.
Gina: BECAUSE WE GOT THE PICTURE OF THE GHOST BOY AROUND THE GRAND STAIRCASE AND THE K-II INTERACTION THAT WE GOT THERE, WHEN WE GOT THE WORDS "IT'S A SPIRIT," IT JUST TIED EVERYTHING TOGETHER, REALLY.
THE MENTZ HOTEL IS ONE OF THE MOST ACTIVE LOCATIONS THAT WE'VE EVER INVESTIGATED.
WE GOT SO MUCH INTERACTION AND REALLY FEEL LIKE THE SPIRIT OF A CHILD, IF NOT MANY CHILDREN, WERE TRYING TO COMMUNICATE WITH US.
Bret: WHEN WE LEFT THE MENTZ THAT NIGHT, WE ACTUALLY FELT KIND OF SAD BECAUSE WE FELT THA THE SPIRITS OF THE CHILDREN THAT WERE THERE WERE PROBABLY NOT WANTING US TO LEAVE AND WANTING HELP.
AND WE JUST KIND OF FELT UNEASY ABOUT THA AS WE WERE DRIVING AWAY THAT THERE WAS PROBABLY MORE THAT WE COULD HAVE DONE FOR THEM OR WISH THERE WAS MORE THA WE COULD HAVE DONE FOR THEM.
Bennett: WHAT WE EXPERIENCED WAS REAL.
IT OBVIOUSLY WANTED OUR ATTENTION.
Badders: THERE WAS PORTAL WHERE SPIRITS PASS THROUGH.
Bennett: WE CAPTURED THE SPIRIT OF SOMETHING.
WE DON'T KNOW WHAT IT WAS.
Badders: IT WAS A WARNING.
THINGS WERE GONNA GE A LOT WORSE.
Bennett: WE CAPTURE THE SPIRIT OF SOMETHING.
WE DON'T KNOW WHAT IT WAS.
Badders: IT WAS A WARNING.
THINGS WERE GONNA GE A LOT WORSE.
Bennett: MY GHOST STORY BEGAN WHEN I STEPPED FOO INTO POAST TOWN ELEMENTARY IN MIDDLETOWN, OHIO.
I SAW MY FIRST GHOS WHEN I WAS 11 YEARS OLD.
AND SINCE THEN, I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR ANSWERS.
I WAS LOOKING FOR A NEW CHALLENGE, A PLACE THAT WAS EXTREMELY LARGE WITH A LOT OF HISTORY.
POAST TOWN ELEMENTARY HAS DEFINITELY HAD A DARK HISTORY.
THERE WAS A MASSIVE TRAIN WRECK BEFORE THE SCHOOL WAS BUILT.
THEREFORE, THE HOSPITAL OVERFLOWED.
THEY TOOK SOME OF THE BODIES TO WHERE POAST TOWN NOW SITS AND ACTUALLY SET UP LIKE A CLINIC THERE WHERE PEOPLE DID LOSE THEIR LIVES.
ANOTHER STORY WAS THERE WAS A LITTLE GIRL WHO WAS SAID TO FALL DOWN A STAIRWELL.
SHE BUMPED HER HEAD AND THEN DIED LATER ON.
AND ALSO, THE JANITOR, WHO ACTUALLY LOVED HIS JOB, WAS VERY FOND OF THE CHILDREN, ACTUALLY BURNT IN HIS OWN HOME IN A FIRE.
AND THEY SAID THAT HE STILL WALKS AROUND THE HALLS NOW, AS WELL.
ANNA AND I STARTED DATING A FEW YEARS BACK.
SHE HAD NEVER ACTUALLY WENT OU AND DID AN INVESTIGATION.
I HAD TO TALK HER INTO IT.
AND EVER SINCE THEN, SHE'S BEEN REALLY INTO THE PARANORMAL.
Badders: IT WASN'T UNTIL I ACTUALLY WENT OU ON MY FIRST GHOST HUN THAT I BECAME A BELIEVER.
THERE'S STUFF OUT THERE THA IS COMPLETELY UNEXPLAINABLE.
ADAM AND MYSELF, ALONG WITH OUR TEAM, PULLED UP TO THE SCHOOL, AND I LOOKED AT ADAM, AND I SAID, "I DON'T THINK WE SHOULD BE DOING AN INVESTIGATION TONIGHT.
" THERE WAS JUST THIS FEELING THAT I COULDN'T SHAKE, A FEELING THAT I HAD NEVER HAD BEFORE.
Bennett: AS SOON AS YOU STEPPED OUT OF THE CAR, YOU GOT THIS FEELING THAT THERE WERE EYES CONSTANTLY WATCHING YOU.
THERE WAS DEFINITELY AN INTIMIDATION FACTOR.
BESIDES FEELING WATCHED, YOU KIND OF GOT A HEAVINESS, A LITTLE BIT SHORT OF BREATH.
YOU COULD TELL THAT YOU WEREN'T WANTED THERE.
WHEN YOU FIRST WALK INTO THE BUILDING, THERE'S A VERY LONG, WIDE, CREEPY STAIRCASE ON YOUR LEFT.
STRAIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU, THERE'S A HALLWAY THAT'S PITCH-BLACK, YOU CANNOT SEE DOWN.
Badders: WE SET UP IN THE BREAK ROOM BEFORE WE STARTED OUR INVESTIGATION.
THE OWNER OF THE BUILDING SAID THAT THERE WAS A PORTAL WHERE SPIRITS PASS THROUGH ON THE SECOND FLOOR.
SO WE WENT UPSTAIRS.
Bennett: ONCE WE STARTED RUNNING AN EVP SESSION, ANNA FELT VERY SICK, LIGHTHEADED, DIZZY.
Badders: THE ENERGY AROUND US HAD GOTTEN REALLY UNCOMFORTABLE.
I STARTED TO FEEL LIKE I WAS GONNA PASS OUT.
Bennett: OUR INVESTIGATOR, ROSE, SAID THAT SHE FELT LIKE A CHILD HAD GRABBED HER HAND.
SHE BEGAN CRYING UNCONTROLLABLY.
SHE COULDN'T CATCH HER BREATH.
Badders: AND I HAD FELT THE SAME WAY.
IT WAS JUST THIS FEAR.
SO I ACTUALLY GRABBED HER HAND AND HEADED DOWN TO THE BREAK ROOM.
Bennett: I GREW CONCERNED IMMEDIATELY.
SO AT THAT POINT, THE THREE GUY INVESTIGATORS, WE WENT TO CONFRON WHAT WAS GOING ON.
AND DURING VIDEO, WE CAPTURE THE SPIRIT OF SOMETHING.
WE DON'T KNOW WHAT IT WAS.
IN THE VIDEO, YOU SEE A SHADOW FIGURE COME OUT OF THE WALL, MOVE TO THE LEFT.
IT STOPS, FACES US, AND THEN WALKS AWAY AND DISAPPEARS.
I WAS COMPLETELY BLOWN AWAY.
IT WAS SHOWING US THAT IT WAS REAL, THAT IT WAS MESSING WITH US, AND IT REALLY DIDN'T CARE.
Badders: WHEN ADAM CAME DOWNSTAIRS AND SHOWED US THE VIDEO, I WAS TERRIFIED.
I FELT SCARED FOR MY TEAM MEMBERS AND MYSELF.
Bennett: I BELIEVE THAT THIS WAS A DARK SPIRIT.
IT WAS BASICALLY TAUNTING US.
WE DECIDED THAT WE WERE GONNA SPLIT UP, SO MYSELF, ANNA, AND TRAVIS WENT TO THE STAIRWELL WHERE THE ACCIDENT HAPPENED WITH THE LITTLE GIRL.
Badders: ADAM DECIDED THA HE WANTED TO RUN AN EVP SESSION.
Bennett: I WAS IMMEDIATELY OVERCOME WITH SADNESS.
I FELT SCARED.
I WAS REALLY UPSET.
AND I HAD TO SIT DOWN.
I HAD TO COLLECT MYSELF.
SOMEONE NEEDED MY HELP, AND I WAS FEELING THE PAIN THAT THEY WENT THROUGH.
Badders: HE WAS ALMOST IN TEARS, AND HE ASKED, "IS THERE ANYBODY HERE WITH US?" Bennett: WE ACTUALLY CAUGHT WHAT SOUNDS LIKE A LITTLE GIRL SAYING "HELP" FOLLOWED BY A MAN SAYING "EMMA WATSON.
" Badders: WE THINK THAT THIS LITTLE GIRL WAS ASKING FOR HELP AND THIS MAN WAS TELLING US THAT THIS IS EMMA WATSON, AND I THINK IT WAS THE JANITOR AND THE LITTLE GIRL WHO HAD FALLEN DOWN THE STAIRWELL THAT WAS THERE WITH US THAT NIGHT.
Bennett: SO THE EMOTION THAT I FELT, FEELING MY HEART BREAK, I KNOW EXACTLY WHY -- BECAUSE IT WAS A LITTLE GIRL REACHING OUT TO ME, WANTING MY HELP AND ATTENTION.
WE HAVE DVR CAMERAS THAT ARE SE UP THROUGH THE ENTIRE BUILDING.
AND LATER THAT NIGHT, AS WE WERE WALKING BACK TOWARDS THE TEAM, ANNA AND I BOTH, AT THE SAME TIME, FELT A COLDNESS, A DRAFT GO BY BOTH OF OUR HEADS.
Badders: I FELT THIS COLD CHILL JUST KIND OF COME UP AND HIT ME IN THE FACE.
I COULDN'T REALLY EXPLAIN IT.
Bennett: LATER THAT NIGHT, WE REVIEWED THE VIDEO, AND WE NOTICED A BALL OF BRIGH LIGHT COMES OUT OF THE WALL, FLIES TOWARDS US, AND THEN DISAPPEARS.
I BELIEVE THAT THAT WAS THE SPIRIT OF THE LITTLE GIRL.
IT DID NOT COME OFF HARMFUL.
IT DID NOT COME OFF LIKE IT WANTED TO HURT US, BUT IT OBVIOUSLY WANTED OUR ATTENTION.
WE REGROUPED AS A TEAM LATER THAT NIGHT, AND WE WENT BACK TO THIS VORTEX AT THE TOP OF THE STAIRWELL.
WE RAN A GHOST BOX SESSION.
WHAT A GHOST BOX IS IS IT SCANS THROUGH FREQUENCIES THROUGH THE RADIO -- WHITE NOISE, IF YOU WILL -- AND IT LETS THE GHOST VOICES TALK THROUGH THEM.
Badders: THERE WAS A SUPPLY CLOSET NEXT TO THE PORTAL.
AND THERE WAS A BOOK THAT WAS LEFT THERE.
IT HAS BIBLE VERSES IN IT.
THE OWNER OF THE BUILDING DIDN'T WANT THIS BOOK TO LEAVE THE SUPPLY CLOSE JUST IN CASE SOMETHING DEMONIC COULD COME THROUGH THE PORTAL.
DURING OUR GHOST BOX SESSION, JOEY WENT INTO THE SUPPLY CLOSET, PICKED UP THE BOOK, AND HE SAID, "IS THERE ANYBODY IN HERE WITH ME?" Bennett: AT THAT TIME, HE FEL A HEAVY PRESSURE ON HIS CHEST, COULD NOT BREATHE, AND WE HEARD THE WORD "DEMON.
" Joey: WHO'S IN HERE WITH ME? Badders: IT WAS LIKE HE WASN' EVEN IN HIS BODY ANYMORE.
LIKE, HE WAS JUST GONE.
AND I SAID, "JOE, ARE YOU OKAY?" AND HE LOOKED AT ME LIKE HE HAD NO IDEA WHERE HE WAS.
I THINK PICKING UP THE BOOK JUST GAVE IT MORE FUEL TO FOCUS ITS ENERGY ON US.
Bennett: WE WERE TERRIFIED.
WE WERE SCARED BECAUSE OUT OF ALL OF OUR INVESTIGATIONS, WE HAVE NOT DEAL WITH ANYTHING DEMONIC.
AND WE BELIEVE JOEY WAS ATTACKED BY A POSSIBLE DEMONIC ENTITY.
WE HEADED BACK TO THE SECOND-FLOOR HALLWAY WITH THE CLASSROOMS, AND WE WERE RUNNING ANOTHER EVP SESSION.
Badders: WE WERE SAYING, "IF YOU WANT TO COME OUT AND TALK TO US, YOU'RE MORE THAN WELCOME TO.
WE'D REALLY LOVE TO KNOW WHO YOU ARE.
" AND AT THAT SAME TIME, IN THE VIDEO, YOU CAN SEE A FIGURE HAD ACTUALLY RAN OUT OF THE ROOM, ONE OF THE CLASSROOMS, RAN TOWARDS THE TEAM, STOPPED, LOOKED AT THEM, AND TURNED AND RAN RIGHT BACK IN THE ROOM.
Bennett: THE SPIRIT HAS WHAT LOOKS TO BE A HUMAN HEAD AND AN ARM AND A TORSO.
IT IS TRANSPARENT, AND YOU CAN SEE THROUGH IT.
IT SHOWS ITSELF AND THEN DISAPPEARS BACK INTO THE CLASSROOM.
Badders: IT REALLY SHOCKED ME JUST BECAUSE WE KNOW THA THAT CANNOT BE EXPLAINED.
Bennett: I TRULY BELIEVE THAT THAT IS THE DEMON THAT WE CAUGH DURING OUR GHOST BOX SESSION.
I WAS IN FEAR FOR THE SAFETY OF MYSELF AND OUR GROUP.
Badders: IT WAS A WARNING, IN MY OPINION, THAT YOU NEEDED TO GO OR THINGS WERE GONNA GET A LOT WORSE.
Bennett: IT WAS TIME TO LEAVE.
THE ENTIRE TEAM WAS TERRIFIED FOR OUR WELLBEING.
SOMETHING EVIL IS IN POAST TOWN, AND IT MADE ITSELF KNOWN TO US.
Badders: IT'S ABSOLUTELY TERRIFYING TO KNOW THAT THINGS EXIS IN THIS WORLD THAT WE CAN'T SEE BUT HAVE SO MUCH POWER OVER YOU WHEN YOU PUT YOURSELF THERE.
Bennett: THE INVESTIGATION OF POAST TOWN IS SOMETHING THAT I CAN NEVER FORGE BECAUSE WHAT WE EXPERIENCED WAS REAL.
AND TO THIS DAY, WHEN I THINK ABOUT IT, IT DOES TERRIFY ME.
Renier: WHEN I SAW THE FACE IN THE DOORWAY, I WAS LIKE, "HOLY CRAP.
" Zeigler: SOMETHING HAS THEIR HAND ON THAT PILLOW AND JUST YANKS IT OFF THE BED.
DARK ENTITIES, UNFORTUNATELY, AT TIMES, YES, ARE IN THE HOME.
Renier: WHEN I SAW THE FACE IN THE DOORWAY, I WAS LIKE, "HOLY CRAP.
" Zeigler: YOU CAN HEAR A CLICK, AND THEN THE DOOR OPENS UP.
Renier: MY GHOST STORY BEGAN WHEN I PURCHASED THE WHISPERS ESTATE IN MITCHELL, INDIANA.
WHEN I FIRST WALKED UP TO WHISPERS ESTATE, IT WAS FOR A PARANORMAL CONVENTION.
IT IS THE EPITOME OF SPOOKINESS.
UPON WALKING IN, YOU ACTUALLY FEEL LIKE YOU'RE WALKING BACK INTO A HOUSE FROM THE EARLY 1900s.
THEY HAVE OLD-STYLE WALLPAPER IN THE FRONT PARLOR, ORIGINAL WOODWORK -- VERY BEAUTIFUL SETTING.
I DECIDED TO BUY WHISPERS ESTATE BECAUSE OF ALL THE PARANORMAL ACTIVITY I EXPERIENCED IN THE HOUSE.
MANY A NIGHTS PRIOR TO MY BUYING THE HOUSE, I HAD BEEN THERE.
AND THERE'S SOME NIGHTS WHERE NOTHING HAPPENED.
BUT MORE OFTEN THAN NOT, I GOT THE CRAP SCARED OUT OF ME.
I MET GWEN WHEN HER AND HER HUSBAND CAME FOR AN ANNIVERSARY VISIT.
Zeigler: WHAT WAS STRANGE ABOUT MY VISI WAS AFTER I LEFT THE HOUSE, IT CONSUMED EVERY THOUGH THAT I HAD, LITERALLY.
NOW I AM ACTING GENERAL MANAGER OF THE HOUSE AND HOST THE TOURS.
Renier: SHE DID A LOT OF HISTORICAL INVESTIGATIONS FOR THE HOUSE.
Zeigler: DR.
JOHN GIBBONS STARTED HIS PRACTICE IN 1899.
PATIENTS CAME TO THE HOUSE.
THERE'S TWO ROOMS IN THE HOME -- THE EXAMINATION ROOM AND THE OPERATING ROOM.
Renier: JESSIE IS DR.
JOHN'S WIFE.
SHE DIED UPSTAIRS IN THE SECOND-FLOOR BEDROOM AFTER A BOU WITH DOUBLE PNEUMONIA.
AND A NUMBER OF TIMES, WHEN PEOPLE WALK INTO THAT ROOM, THE FIRST THING THEY GE IS TIGHTNESS OF CHEST, WHEEZING, INABILITY TO BREATHE, WHICH ARE SYMPTOMS OF HAVING PNEUMONIA.
PEOPLE WALK OUT OF THAT ROOM, CLEARS UP RIGHT AWAY.
PRETTY AMAZING.
ONE NIGHT, I WAS WALKING AROUND THE BACKYARD.
I'M LOOKING AROUND AND TAKING PHOTOS.
[ CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKING .]
I SNAPPED A PHOTO OUTSIDE THE KITCHEN, POINTED TOWARDS THE BACK GARAGE.
IN THERE, THERE'S A LOT OF MIST.
AND ON THE RIGHT SIDE, YOU CAN SEE WHAT APPEARS TO BE A SKELETON ARCHING WITH ITS HEAD UP, ALMOST LIKE IT'S SCREAMING.
Zeigler: RIGHT AWAY, WE WERE LIKE, "THIS IS AMAZING.
" Renier: IT WASN'T A COLD NIGHT.
IT WASN'T FOGGY.
THERE WAS NOBODY SMOKING.
THERE'S NO LOGICAL EXPLANATION FOR THAT MUCH MIST.
Zeigler: THERE IS, REPORTEDLY, A MASS PI GRAVE UNDERNEATH THE GARAGE WHICH, WHEN DR.
JOHN GIBBONS PERFORMED ANY TYPE OF SURGERY AND HE HAD A BODY PAR OR SOMETHING THAT HE AMPUTATED, IT WAS VERY COMMON BACK THEN TO JUST CHUCK IT IN THE BACKYARD.
THEY DIDN'T DISPOSE OF I LIKE WE DO TODAY.
Renier: WHEN I SAW THAT SKELETON, I FIGURED, "WELL, THAT'S VALIDATION THAT THERE'S AN ACTUAL PIT GRAVE THERE.
" WE ALSO HAVE DOZENS OF PHOTOS OF PEOPLE HAVING PHYSICAL INTERACTION.
WE HAVE PEOPLE WITH SCRATCHES ON THEIR NECK.
Zeigler: I THINK THAT THE SPIRITS ARE SO DESPERATE TO COMMUNICATE THAT THEY JUST REACH OUT, JUST MAYBE TO TOUCH US, AND IT JUST HAPPENS TO COME ACROSS AS A SCRATCH.
Renier: AT WHISPERS ESTATE, WE FREQUENTLY HAVE PEOPLE TAKING PHOTOS.
EVEN DURING THE DAY, WE HAVE VISUAL ANOMALIES IN PHOTOGRAPHS, SUCH AS THE FACE IN THE DOORWAY.
WHEN I FIRST SAW THAT, I WAS LIKE, "HOLY CRAP.
" IT LOOKS LIKE SOMEBODY'S ACTUALLY LOOKING OU FROM THAT DOORWAY TO US.
Zeigler: I'VE RESEARCHED EVERYONE THAT HAS LIVED IN THE HOME.
I SAID, "I'M PRETTY SURE I KNOW WHO THAT IS.
THAT'S MABEL HOPPER RIGHT THERE.
" Renier: WE FOUND A PHOTO OF A WOMAN WHO LIVED IN THE HOUSE IN THE MID '50s.
MABEL WAS A MUSICAL TEACHER AT THE LOCAL HIGH SCHOOL.
WHEN WE MADE THE CONNECTION BETWEEN THE FACE IN THE DOOR AND MABEL HOPPER, WE WERE FLOORED.
Zeigler: WHEN I SEE FACES OF SPIRITS IN A DOOR, IT'S VERY TOUCHING TO ME BECAUSE IT'S LIKE THEY DON'T WANT TO BE FORGOTTEN.
I THINK SHE WAS JUST SAYING, "HEY, REMEMBER ME?" Renier: THERE'S A NUMBER OF TIMES WHERE PEOPLE HAVE DONE INVESTIGIONS AND THEY'VE GOTTEN SOMETHING ON VIDEO.
Zeigler: THE GROUP WAS IN DR.
JOHN'S OPERATING ROOM.
Renier: THERE ARE TWO INVESTIGATORS ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE BED NOT MAKING ANY MOVEMENTS.
AND THEN ON THE RIGHT SIDE, YOU SEE THE PILLOW BEING PULLED OFF BY AN UNSEEN PRESENCE.
Zeigler: WHEN YOU LOOK AT THAT VIDEO, YOU SEE NOT ONLY THE PILLOW FALLING OFF THE BED, BUT YOU ALSO SEE, LIKE, A WHITE STREAK GO UP.
IT'S KIND OF LIKE, "OKAY, I'M MOVING THIS PILLOW, AND THEN I'M LEAVING.
" ALL OF SUDDEN, IT'S AS THOUGH SOMETHING HAS THEIR HAND ON THAT PILLOW AND JUST YANKS IT OFF THE BED.
IT'S PRETTY INTENSE WHEN IT HAPPENS.
I THINK IT FREAKED ALL OF THEM OUT A LITTLE BIT.
ONE EVENING, WE HAD A GROUP THERE.
Renier: THEY HAD CAMERAS SET UP INSIDE JESSIE'S BEDROOM AND ONE DOWN THE HALL POINTED TOWARDS JESSIE'S DOORWAY.
JESSIE'S CHAMBER IS THE ROOM IN WHICH DOCTOR'S WIFE, JESSIE, PASSED AWAY IN.
THERE WERE A COUPLE OF PEOPLE IN JESSIE'S ROOM ASKING IF ANYBODY'S THERE, PLEASE MAKE YOUR PRESENCE KNOWN, THINGS LIKE THAT.
AND, ALL OF A SUDDEN, THEY HEAR THE DOORKNOB TURN.
AND THEN THE DOOR OPENS UP.
Zeigler: AND SURE ENOUGH, YOU CAN HEAR A CLICK, AND THEN THE DOOR OPENS UP.
Renier: THERE'S NOBODY IN THE HALL OR NEAR THE DOOR.
THERE'S NO EXPLANATION FOR THE DOOR OPENING UP.
Zeigler: WE HAVE SO DESPERATELY TRIED TO DEBUNK THAT.
I HAVE RUN UP AND DOWN THE STEPS.
WE'VE SLAMMED ALL THE DOORS TO TRY TO GET IT TO OPEN.
AND NOBODY CAN DEBUNK THIS DOOR OPENING.
Renier: I BELIEVE IT COULD BE THE SPIRIT OF JESSIE GIBBONS OPENING THAT DOOR BECAUSE IT WAS HER BEDROOM.
THERE'S SO MANY ENTITIES WE BELIEVE ARE IN THIS HOUSE, AND THEY'RE DOING SO MANY DIFFERENT THINGS.
I BELIEVE THE SPIRIT OF DR.
JOHN STILL FEELS THAT IT'S HIS HOUSE AND HE DOESN'T LIKE PEOPLE BEING THERE.
Zeigler: DARK ENTITIES, UNFORTUNATELY, AT TIMES, YES, ARE IN THE HOME.
Renier: WHEN YOU GO TO THIS HOUSE, THE SPIRITS WILL DEFINITELY LET YOU KNOW THEY ARE THERE.
Coffey: I FELT THE SPIRIT ENERGY STANDING RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME AND TOOK A SHOT OF IT.
-IT'S A PERFECT SPIRIT ORB.
-McKeand: THAT COULD BE REAL.
Coffey: THIS LOCATION HAD MANY SPIRITS.
McKeand: I WAS SHOCKED MORE THAN ANYTHING.
Coffey: THE GHOST ACTUALLY SAYS, "WHERE?" HOLY SMOKES.
Coffey: I FELT A SPIRIT ENERGY.
[ CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS .]
IT'S A PERFECT SPIRIT ORB.
THIS LOCATION HAD MANY SPIRITS.
McKeand: I WAS SHOCKED.
Coffey: THE GHOST ACTUALLY SAYS, "WHERE?" HOLY SMOKES.
McKeand: MY GHOST STORY BEGAN WHEN I STARTED WORKING AT BUFFALO BILLIARDS IN AUSTIN, TEXAS.
WHEN I FIRST STARTED WORKING AT BUFFALO BILLIARDS, THERE WAS A NEWS SEGMEN ABOUT IT BEING HAUNTED.
AND I THOUGH THAT WAS PRETTY NEAT.
THE BUILDING'S BEEN THERE SINCE THE 1800s.
I KNOW IT'S BEEN A GROCERY STORE.
IT USED TO BE SOME SORT OF A BED-AND-BREAKFAST HOTEL.
I KNOW PEOPLE PASSING THROUGH WOULD STAY THERE.
SOME OF THE EXPERIENCES I'VE HAD AT BUFFALO BILLIARDS WHILE I'VE WORKED THERE HAVE SCARED ME.
WE USED TO HAVE A PHONE THAT WOULD RING AT THE SAME TIME EVERY SINGLE NIGHT.
WE WOULD PICK IT UP, AND THERE WOULD BE NO ONE THERE.
THERE'S ALSO LIGHTS THAT FLICKER ON AND OFF.
I WAS CLOSING ONE OF THE BARS UPSTAIRS BY MYSELF ONE NIGHT, AND I HEARD A LOUD BANGING ON THE DOOR, AS IF SOMEBODY WAS LOCKED OUT.
SO I STOPPED WHAT I WAS DOING, AND I RAN OVER TO THE DOOR.
AND I STEPPED OUTSIDE, AND NOBODY WAS THERE.
I WAS SHOCKED MORE THAN ANYTHING.
ALL THE HAIR ON MY NECK STOOD UP, AND I WAS SCARED.
ONE COOK THAT USED TO WORK THERE SAW A LITTLE BOY RUN THROUGH THE KITCHEN DOORS ALL THE WAY AROUND THE KITCHEN.
SO HE WALKED OU AND STARTED ASKING ABOUT THIS CHILD THAT WAS RUNNING AROUND.
AND THEY SAID THA THERE WAS NO CHILD IN THE BAR.
THERE WAS NO ONE THERE BUT EMPLOYEES.
ONE NIGHT AFTER WE WERE CLOSED, I HAD A FELLOW COWORKER WITH ME.
AND AS SOON AS WE GOT TO THE TOP OF THE STAIRS, I SAW A FEMALE.
SHE WAS YOUNG.
SHE HAD LONG, CURLY, FLOWING BLOND HAIR.
SHE WAS WEARING A BIG VICTORIAN DRESS.
I COULD SEE RIGHT THROUGH HER.
AND I REALIZED THAT SHE WAS STARING DIRECTLY INTO MY EYES.
AND SHE HAD KIND OF A GOLDEN GLOW ALL AROUND HER.
WE WERE FREAKED OUT.
I KNOW WHAT I SAW, THOUGH, AND I WAS REALLY SCARED.
THE OWNER OF BUFFALO BILLIARDS DECIDED TO ALLOW A TEAM TO COME IN AND CHECK THE PLACE OUT.
ONE OF THE EMPLOYEES ASKED ME IF I WOULD DO AN INTERVIEW WITH PAUL, THE INVESTIGATOR, BECAUSE I'VE GO THE MOST STORIES BECAUSE I'VE BEEN THERE FOR SUCH A LONG TIME.
Coffey: FAITH HAD EXPLAINED TO US THE HISTORY OF THE BUILDING.
IT JUST REALLY HEIGHTENED MY WANTING TO GO AND INVESTIGATE.
McKeand: WHEN I TOLD PAUL ABOUT THE APPARITION THAT I SAW, HE WAS VERY EXCITED BECAUSE HE TOLD ME THAT IT'S VERY RARE THAT SOMEONE ACTUALLY SEES AN APPARITION LIKE I SAW.
Coffey: WE THEN IMMEDIATELY STARTED UNPACKING OUR EQUIPMENT.
WE WERE INTENDING ON USING MANY VIDEO CAMERAS AND SOUND RECORDERS.
McKeand: THEY HAD A LOT OF EQUIPMEN THAT I HAD NEVER SEEN BEFORE.
Coffey: THEN WE WENT TO THE BAR ON THE SECOND FLOOR.
I STOOD IN BETWEEN THE BILLIARD TABLES TO SEE IF I CAN PROVOKE SOME OF THESE SPIRITS TO COME AND INTERACT WITH US.
AND I ASKED THEM TO SHOW THEMSELVES AND NOT BE AFRAID.
A BIG WAFTING CLOUD OF COLD AIR CAME TOWARDS ME.
I FELT THE SPIRIT ENERGY STANDING RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME.
I WAS JUST AMAZED, AND I PICKED UP MY CAMERA AND TOOK A SHOT OF IT.
I NOTICED THAT I CAPTURED AN ORB, A SPIRIT ORB, RIGHT ABOVE THE SIDE OF THE POOL TABLE.
AND AS SOON AS I SAW THAT, I SAID, "OKAY, WE DEFINITELY HAVE SOMETHING GOING ON HERE.
" IT'S A PERFECT SPIRIT ORB.
McKeand: HE SHOWED ME PICTURES OF POOL TABLES AND DIFFERENT AREAS AROUND THE BAR WITH GLOWING ORBS.
AND HE EXPLAINED TO ME THAT THESE ORBS ARE, IN FACT, SPIRITS.
WHEN I SAW THE PHOTOGRAPHS OF THE ORBS, AT FIRST I THOUGHT MAYBE IT'S SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE CAMERA, MAYBE IT'S DUST.
BUT THE ONES WHERE THEY'RE CLEAR AND NOTHING ELSE IS AROUND DEFINITELY MADE ME FEEL LIKE THAT COULD BE REAL.
Coffey: WE WANTED TO CAPTURE SOME EVP, SO WE BROUGHT OUT A GHOST BOX.
A GHOST BOX IS A RADIO THAT'S BEEN CONVERTED SO THA IT SWEEPS THROUGH FREQUENCIES SO THE SPIRITS CAN TALK THROUGH THIS DEVICE.
AND WE CAPTURED A COUPLE OF GOOD DIRECT RESPONSES.
THEN I WENT ON TO SAY THE GHOST ACTUALLY SAYS, "WHERE?" HOLY SMOKES.
THAT WAS AN AMAZING RESPONSE.
McKeand: WHEN I HEARD THAT EVP THAT PAUL HAD TAKEN IT MADE ME A LITTLE UNEASY.
Coffey: THERE ARE DEFINITELY SPIRITS AT BUFFALO BILLIARDS.
McKeand: PAUL DID TAKE ONE VIDEO.
HE WAS SITTING UPSTAIRS IN THE ROOM THAT HAS PROBABLY THE MOST ACTIVITY IN IT.
Coffey: I WAS SITTING IN THE SECOND-FLOOR BAR, AND I WAS CONDUCTING A GHOST BOX SESSION AND ALSO USING DOWSING RODS AT THE TIME.
AND I USED A CAMERA JUST TO SEE IF I CAN CAPTURE ANY MOVEMEN OR SPIRITS OR ANOMALIES AROUND ME.
AT THE TIME, I DID SENSE SPIRITS MOVING AROUND ME.
AND I COULD SEE THEM SOMETIMES, AND OTHER TIMES, I COULDN'T.
I WAS ABLE TO CAPTURE LIGH ANOMALIES FLOATING AROUND ME AS I WAS SPEAKING TO THE SPIRITS.
WHEN I SAW THE VIDEO OF THE ORBS FLYING AROUND ME AND BY ME, IT JUST VALIDATED THE FACT THA THIS LOCATION HAD MANY SPIRITS.
McKeand: I BELIEVE THE FLOATING ORBS THAT HE HAS IN HIS VIDEO COULD POSSIBLY BE SPIRITS OF PEOPLE THAT PASSED THROUGH THERE, MAYBE OF THE WOMAN THAT I SAW.
Coffey: I WAS AGAIN CONDUCTING A DOWSING ROD SESSION.
AND I HAD ASKED, "ARE THERE ANY FEMALE SPIRITS HERE AT THIS LOCATION?" AND IT CAME BACK TO SAY THAT THERE WAS ONE AND HER NAME WAS DEBORAH.
I HAD ASKED, "CAN THE SPIRI DEBORAH SHOW ITSELF?" I DIDN'T GET A RESPONSE RIGHT OFF THE BAT.
HOWEVER, WHEN WE WERE STANDING BY THE BAR ON THE SECOND FLOOR, I LOOKED DOWN TO THE ENTRANCE OF THE LOWER BAR, AND I SAW THIS GRAY GLOW.
I COULD SEE A HEAD IN THAT GRAY GLOW.
I SAID, "THAT'S SOMEBODY STANDING THERE.
" AND I'M LIKE, "OH, MY GOD.
" [ CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS .]
AND SURE ENOUGH, I CAPTURED WHAT I BELIEVE TO BE THE SPIRIT OF DEBORAH.
THAT WAS AN AMAZING MOMEN FOR ME.
McKeand: YOU CAN SEE A PURPLISH, REDDISH GLOW.
AND IT'S NOT AN ORB LIKE SOME OF THE OTHER PICTURES THAT HE TOOK.
IT'S KIND OF LONG, AND IT'S GLOWING.
IT WAS VERY SURPRISING BECAUSE I KNOW THA THAT SECTION OF THE ROOM HAS ABSOLUTELY NO LIGHT IN I WHATSOEVER.
Coffey: I BELIEVE THE SPIRI THAT WE CAPTURED THAT EVENING WAS THE VERY SAME SPIRI THAT FAITH HAD SEEN.
AND WHEN I SHOWED HER A PICTURE OF THE SPIRIT, SHE ACTUALLY SAID, "THAT IS THE ONE I SAW.
" SO IT WAS KIND OF SOME VALIDATION THAT, IN FACT, THERE IS A FULL-BODY APPARITION THAT WALKS AROUND UP THERE.
McKeand: AFTER EVERYTHING THAT I'VE SEEN AND HEARD THERE, I DEFINITELY BELIEVE THAT THERE ARE SPIRITS AROUND US ALL THE TIME.
Coffey: IT'S RATHER OBVIOUS TO ME THAT THERE ARE MANY SPIRITS CALLING BUFFALO BILLIARDS STILL ITS HOME.
THEY HAVE NO PROBLEM INTERACTING WITH US OR EVEN SHOWING THEMSELVES TO US.
McKeand: I'VE QUESTIONED MYSELF ABOUT WHAT I'VE SEEN AND HEARD, AND I KNOW OTHER EMPLOYEES HAVE, TOO.
PAUL'S EVIDENCE DEFINITELY VALIDATED WHAT I SAW WAS REAL AND WHAT I'VE EXPERIENCED WAS REAL.
Thomas: WHEN YOU'RE DEALING WITH THE PARANORMAL, YOU NEVER KNOW WHA YOU'RE GONNA GET YOURSELF INTO.
I TURNED AROUND.
THE LIGHT JUST COMES ON OUT OF NOWHERE.
McBride: I TOOK A PICTURE.
IT HAD A BLACK FIGURE STANDING IN THE WINDOW.
IT'S AMAZING.
Thomas: THERE WAS A BRIGHT LIGHT ANOMALY.
IT'S IMPOSSIBLE.
Thomas: I TURNED AROUND.
THE LIGHT JUST COMES ON OUT OF NOWHERE.
McBride: I TOOK A PICTURE.
IT HAD A BLACK FIGURE STANDING IN THE WINDOW.
IT'S AMAZING.
MY GHOST STORY BEGAN WHEN I STEPPED INSIDE THE GALAX SMOKEHOUSE IN GALAX, VIRGINIA.
ME AND CRAIG MET WORKING ON A HAUNTED HOUSE TOGETHER IN VIRGINIA.
HE BECAME A PART OF MY TEAM.
Thomas: I WANTED TO KNOW THE TRUTH.
WHAT IS IT REALLY LIKE TO ENCOUNTER THE PARANORMAL ITSELF? McBride: CRAIG AND I, WE TOOK A GHOST WALK TOUR THROUGH GALAX TO HEAR SOME OF THE HAUNTED HISTORY.
THAT STRUCK MY INTERES ON THE TOWN.
AND AS THE TOUR WENT, WE HEARD OF THE OLD DRUG COMPANY THAT WAS STARTED UP BY A DOCTOR THAT HAD A DENTIST OFFICE UPSTAIRS.
AND SEVERAL YEARS AFTER IT SHUT DOWN, A GENTLEMAN BOUGHT I AND TURNED IT INTO A RESTAURANT, WHICH IS NOW THE GALAX SMOKEHOUSE.
Thomas: THE CLAIMS WERE THAT THE LIGHT WOULD COME ON AND GO OFF, AND THEY'VE HEARD THINGS MOVE AROUND AND DARK SHADOWS.
McBride: SO I DECIDED TO CALL THE OWNER AND SEE IF WE COULD INVESTIGATE AND SEE IF WE COULD FIND ANY SPIRIT LIFE THERE FROM THE OLD DOCTOR OR ANY EMPLOYEES THAT MAYBE HAD WORKED THERE.
Thomas: WHEN WE ARRIVED AT THE GALAX SMOKEHOUSE, WE SET UP OUR EQUIPMENT.
McBride: YOU COULD TELL SOMETHING WAS THERE.
YOU COULD FEEL A PRESENCE COME UP ON YOU.
WE HAD HEARD STORIES OF HOW THE LIGHTS WOULD CUT ON AND CUT OFF.
Thomas: THEY HAD A TRIPOD AND A CAMERA POINTING AT THE ROOM.
AND I HAD JUS A REGULAR CAMCORDER IN MY HAND.
RACHEL WAS PROBABLY ABOUT 20 FEET AWAY.
SHE'S TAKING PICTURES EVERYWHERE ELSE.
AND I ASK, "IS THERE ANY POSSIBLE WAY YOU COULD TURN A LIGHT ON FOR US OR CAN YOU TURN A LIGHT OFF?" WELL, WHEN I TURNED AROUND, THE LIGHT JUST COMES ON OUT OF NOWHERE.
I SAID, "RACHEL, I TURNED THIS LIGHT SWITCH OFF BEFORE WE EVEN STARTED THE INVESTIGATION.
" AND SHE SAYS, "WELL, YOU GOT TO BE KIDDING ME.
" WE WERE THE ONLY TWO UPSTAIRS.
EVERYBODY ELSE WAS DOWN IN THE BASEMENT.
THERE'S NO POSSIBLE WAY THAT LIGHT SWITCH COULD HAVE JUST CAME ON BY ITSELF.
IT'S IMPOSSIBLE.
McBride: AFTER THE LIGH IN THE ROOM CAME BACK ON, HE WAS KIND OF SKITTISH, A LITTLE SKEPTICAL, MAYBE.
Thomas: I FELT A COLD PRESENCE GRAB AHOLD OF MY ARM.
THAT WAS PROBABLY THE MOST INTENSIFYING MOMEN THAT I EVER HAD.
I SAID, "RACHEL, COME HERE AND LOOK AT THIS.
" McBride: HE JUST HAD THIS LOOK ON HIS FACE WHEN HE HIT THAT COLD THAT WAS UNREAL.
Thomas: AND SHE COMES OVER THERE AND SEES MY ARM.
McBride: THE HAIR WAS, LIKE, STANDING UP, AND HIS EYES WERE KIND OF BIG.
HE WAS JUST LIKE, "YOU'RE NOT GONNA BELIEVE THIS, BUT I'M FREEZING HERE.
" Thomas: I NEVER NOTICED I WITH MY OWN EYES UNTIL I SEEN THE VIDEO ITSELF.
THERE WAS A BRIGHT LIGHT ANOMALY COMING ACROSS.
AND THERE'S NO OTHER LIGHT SOURCE THERE TO MAKE THAT LIGHT SHOW UP.
WHERE ELSE COULD THE LIGHT SOURCE COME FROM EXCEPT FROM A SPIRI ACTUALLY TRYING TO FORM ITSELF TO SHOW ITSELF TO ME? AND THAT'S WHEN I FELT A COLD SPOT ON MY RIGHT-HAND ARM.
McBride: I'M GONNA SAY HE WAS MAYBE SCARED A LITTLE, ANXIOUS, AND EXCITED.
I BELIEVE THE LIGHT ANOMALY WAS THE SPIRIT OF A LADY THAT WORKED THERE AT THE DRUG COMPANY.
CRAIG AND I WENT INTO THE MOP ROOM AREA.
AND THERE'S A COUNTER THERE THAT WAS LIKE AN ICE CREAM AND SODA FOUNTAIN.
WE HAD TOYS AND DIFFERENT TRIGGER OBJECTS SET OUT THROUGH THE AREA.
WE WERE JUST KIND OF TALKING TO THE SPIRITS, LETTING THEM KNOW THAT WE'RE HERE IF YOU HAVE ANYTHING THAT YOU WANT TO SAY TO US.
AND I TOOK A PICTURE.
IT HAD A BLACK FIGURE STANDING IN THE WINDOW.
YOU CAN MAKE OUT THE SHOULDERS, THE HEAD, THE BODY.
IT MADE US FEEL EXCITED.
Thomas: I FELT COMFORTABLE.
THEN AGAIN, I WAS STILL SCARED.
RACHEL GOES, "YOU WANT TO GO AHEAD AND TURN THE GHOST BOX ON?" I SAID, "YEAH, LET'S TRY THAT.
" I TURN MY CAMCORDER AROUND, AND BY THE TIME I GOT TO THE GHOST BOX, IT SAID MY NAME -- CRAIG.
IT JUST SAID "CRAIG" OUT OF NOWHERE.
I DON'T KNOW IF IT WAS TRYING TO TELL ME TO LEAVE IT ALONE OR LET ME KNOW, "HEY, I KNOW YOUR NAME.
YOUR NAME'S CRAIG.
" McBride: I BELIEVE IT COULD BE THE OLD DOCTOR THAT OWNED THE PLACE.
THE FACT THAT WE HAVE CAUGH A MALE VOICE TALKING TO US LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THAT IT'S HIM.
LATER THAT NIGHT, WE HEARD FOOTSTEPS COME UP THE STAIRS FROM, LIKE, THE BASEMENT AREA.
NO ONE EVER CAME UP.
NO ONE EVER CAME DOWN.
SO WE DECIDED TO PUT A VIDEO CAMERA AT THE BOTTOM OF THE STAIRS SHOOTING UP.
WHEN WE GOT HOME AND WAS VIEWING EVERYTHING, THERE'S A VIDEO OF A LITTLE RED LIGH IS IN THE CENTER OF THE CAMERA.
WHEN I SAW THAT VIDEO OF THE LIGHT ANOMALY, I COULDN'T BELIEVE IT.
IT'S AMAZING.
I THINK IT'S AN EMPLOYEE THAT WORKED FOR THE OWNERS.
A LITTLE WHILE LATER, WE WENT DOWN INTO THE BASEMEN TO SEE IF WE COULD COMMUNICATE WITH SOME SPIRITS.
AND CRAIG, HE WAS SHOOTING WITH HIS VIDEO CAMERA.
AND HE WAS ASKING IF DR.
BOLAND WAS THERE, WHICH WAS THE NAME OF THE DRUG COMPANY AND THE OWNER.
I WAS SET UP BEHIND CRAIG, TAKING PHOTOS.
Thomas: AS I WAS TRYING TO GET UP OFF THE GROUND, I'VE GOT PAIN IN MY BACK.
McBride: HE SAID THAT HIS BACK WAS REALLY HURTING, IT WAS GETTING REALLY BAD.
Thomas: FEEL LIKE SOMEBODY'S TAKING KNIVES TO ME.
McBride: THE ATMOSPHERE KIND OF CHANGED A LITTLE DOWN THERE.
Thomas: I WAS SCARED BECAUSE I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO.
McBride: AND WE TOOK A PICTURE.
AND IT'S A FACE ON THE BACK OF CRAIG'S HEAD.
YOU CAN SEE, LIKE, THE EYES AND A NOSE, MOUTH, THE WHOLE FACE.
AND IT OCCURRED AT THE SAME TIME THAT HE SAID HE FELT SOMETHING WAS ON HIM.
SO, IT WAS SCARY TO SEE THAT PICTURE ON HIM AND TO KNOW THAT SOMETHING ACTUALLY MAY HAVE HURT HIM.
Thomas: WHEN I SEEN THE PHOTO OF THE FACE, I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO THINK.
BUT WHEN YOU DO THE PARANORMAL, YOU NEVER KNOW WHA YOU'RE GONNA GET YOURSELF INTO.
I BELIEVE THE SPIRI ON THE BACK OF MY HEAD WAS THE SPIRIT OF THE OWNER.
McBride: HE WAS A DOCTOR.
HE DID TREAT PEOPLE FOR PAINS.
AND I THINK MAYBE HE WAS TRYING TO HELP CRAIG.
AT THE END OF THE NIGHT, WE WAS WRAPPING UP.
AND I DECIDED TO LEAVE SOME FLOWERS THAT I HAD BROUGHT.
I OFFERED THEM TO THE FEMALE SPIRIT THAT'S THERE.
CRAIG AND I WAS THANKING HER FOR COMMUNICATING WITH US AND LETTING US CAPTURE HER.
AND WE GOT AN EVP SAYING THANK YOU.
IT BREAKS MY HEAR TO KNOW THAT SHE IS STILL HERE.
THE FACT THA THE SPIRIT SAID THANK YOU WAS TELLING ME SHE HEARD EVERYTHING I SAID AND SHE WAS THANKFUL THA I WAS GIVING HER A GIFT BACK.
Thomas: THAT WAS HEARTWARMING.
McBride: THE WHOLE EXPERIENCE OF THE GALAX SMOKEHOUSE HAS AFFECTED ME BY BEING ABLE TO KNOW AND TO PROVE WITHOUT A DOUB THAT THERE IS SPIRITS WALKING AMONG US.
Thomas: FROM THE EVP TO MY NAME TO THE VIDEO OF THE LIGHT ORB TO THE GHOSTLY ENCOUNTER OF SOMETHING PUSHING DOWN ON ME, THESE EXPERIENCES WILL FOREVER BE PART OF MY LIFE.
McBride: IF WE SHOW THEM THE RESPEC THAT THEY'RE LOOKING FOR, THEY WILL SHOW YOU THE KINDNESS BACK.
