Bloodcurdling
1 Grimes: THERE WAS A MAN SITTING BEHIND THE WHEEL OF MY EMPTY S.
U.
V.
THERE WAS A MAN THERE.
I WAS HORRIFIED.
AS I DRIVE AWAY THAT NIGHT, I KNEW HE WAS FOLLOWING ME HOME.
Schwedt: THE MIST IS HOVERING ABOVE HER DAUGHTER, AND THEN IT'S GONE.
Jasmund: THERE WAS SOMETHING FLOATING RIGHT ABOVE AMBER'S HEAD.
Schwedt: IT WAS THE MOST FRIGHTENING THING I'VE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE.
Biery: I COULD SEE A DISTINC IMAGE OF A SHADOW FIGURE.
AND IT WAS CLEARLY A MAN.
IT WAS KIND OF SURREAL BECAUSE IT WAS HAPPENING RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME.
Bryant: MY JAW HIT THE FLOOR.
THERE'S SOMETHING EVIL IN THIS BUILDING.
Musgrove: BY THE TIME I GO TO THE BOTTOM OF THE STAIRS -- BOOM -- THERE WAS A PICTURE OF A WOMAN.
AND IT LOOKS LIKE SHE'S LEANING UP AGAINST THE DOOR.
IT JUST SENT CHILLS ALL THROUGH MY SPINE.
Doe: TWO METAL SHELVES CAME FLYING ACROSS THE ROOM.
A LARGE PIECE OF PLASTIC RIPPED OFF THE DOOR.
Chilton: THERE APPEARED TO BE A SHADOW FIGURE OF A MAN RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME.
Doe: YOU DON'T SEE EYES OR FEATURES.
WE WERE PETRIFIED.
Grimes: WE FELT SOMEONE FOLLOWING US.
Eastridge: SOMETHING DOESN'T WANT YOU TO BE THERE.
Grimes: THE SPIRITS KNOW YOU'RE THERE.
THEY'RE LAYING THERE WAITING FOR YOU.
MY GHOST STORY BEGAN WHEN I VISITED "TOM" SAWYER STATE PARK IN LOUISVILLE, KENTUCKY.
"TOM" SAWYER STATE PARK IS BUILT ON THE GROUNDS OF WHAT USED TO BE LAKELAND LUNATIC ASYLUM.
LAKELAND LUNATIC ASYLUM WAS BUILT IN 1864.
AND IN 1986, IT WAS TORN DOWN.
THERE'S AN NATURAL CAVE LOCATED ON THE GROUNDS.
WHEN THE MENTAL INSTITUTION CAME ALONG, THEY USED THE CAVE TO STORE DEAD BODIES UNTIL THEY COULD BE BURIED IN THE GRAVEYARD ON THE PROPERTY.
JAMES FOLEY WAS COMMITTED TO LAKELAND INSANE ASYLUM AT AGE 20 BY HIS FAMILY FOR NOT BEING ABLE TO KEEP HIS HANDS TO HIMSELF.
THIS IS A PROBLEM BECAUSE THERE WERE MANY CHILDREN HOUSED AT THE INSANE ASYLUM.
[ CHILDREN SHOUTING INDISTINCTLY .]
IT IS KNOWN THAT HE LURED A 9-YEAR-OLD BOY INTO THE CAVE AND THAT HE MOLESTED AND THEN LATER MURDERED THIS BOY.
I MET KARA THROUGH FACEBOOK.
I SAW A COMMENT SHE MADE ABOUT A HAUNTED LOCATION, AND I THOUGHT, "I LIKE THIS GIRL.
" YOU KNOW, "I THINK I'D LIKE TO KNOW HER.
" Eastridge: WE'D GOT TO TALKING AND DECIDED THAT WE'D LIKE TO INVESTIGATE TOGETHER.
SO TERRI INVITED ME TO "TOM" SAWYER PARK.
Grimes: THERE ARE SEVERAL DIFFERENT AREAS TO THE PARK.
THERE'S THE GRAVEYARD.
THERE'S THE CAVE.
AS KARA AND I ARE WALKING THROUGH THE FIELD FROM THE PARKING LO TOWARDS THE CAVE AREA I LOOKED UP FOR SOME REASON, AND I SEE THIS CHUNK OF BRICK FLYING OUT OF THE AIR.
AND IT LANDED ABOUT AN INCH FROM MY FOOT.
Eastridge: IT REALLY SCARED US 'CAUSE WE HAD NO IDEA WHERE THE BRICK CAME FROM.
THERE WAS NOBODY ELSE AROUND.
Grimes: WE HAD OUR RECORDERS GOING AT THE TIME, AND JUST BEFORE THAT BRICK FLEW OUT OF THE SKY, I CAUGHT AN EVP ON MY RECORDER THAT SAID "GET OUT.
" I BELIEVE THAT WAS JAMES FOLEY'S VOICE.
Eastridge: WE THOUGHT IT WAS A WARNING IN THAT SOMEBODY DIDN'T WANT US TO GO INTO THAT CAVE.
Grimes: IT'S A LITTLE SCARY TO KNOW THAT THE SPIRITS KNOW YOU'RE THERE AND THAT THEY'RE LAYING THERE WAITING FOR YOU.
AS WE WALKED IN THAT CAVE, THERE'S SUCH AN OMINOUS PRESENCE.
IT'S A HEAVY FEELING, AND YOU INSTANTLY KNOW YOU'RE NOT ALONE.
Eastridge: YOU DEFINITELY GET THE SENSE OF SOMETHING DOESN'T WANT YOU TO BE THERE.
Grimes: TO THE RIGHT SIDE IS THIS LITTLE NOOK, AND I JUST HAPPENED TO GLANCE OVER AT IT.
AND SHE AND I SAW JUST A BRIEF GLIMPSE OF A FACE, A MAN'S FACE.
I GRABBED MY CAMERA AND WENT TO TAKE A PICTURE, AND THE FACE WAS GONE IN A FLASH.
BUT AS I TOOK THAT PICTURE I HAD CAUGHT A MIST, ALMOST LIKE A THICK FOG.
Eastridge: I WAS SURPRISED.
WHERE DID THAT COME FROM? BECAUSE IT WASN'T FOGGY OUT.
Grimes: I KNEW IN AN INSTANCE THAT WAS THE SPIRIT OF JAMES FOLEY.
THAT SCARED THE HELL OUT OF ME.
THEN LATER ON, KARA AND I DECIDED TO DO A DOWSING-ROD SESSION WHILE WE WERE IN THE CAVE.
WE'RE INSTRUCTING THE SPIRITS ON HOW TO USE THE DOWSING ROD.
WE SAY, "PLEASE CROSS OUR RODS FOR A SIGN OF YES OR UNCROSS FOR A SIGN OF NO.
" WE CAUGHT AN EVP AT THAT MOMEN OF A VOICE SAYING "CROSS.
" LIKE A SPIRI WAS TRYING TO CLARIFY, "YOU WANT ME TO CROSS AS A SIGN OF YES.
" CLEARLY, THEY WERE INTELLIGENT SPIRITS, AND THEY WERE LISTENING TO WHAT WE WERE SAYING TO THEM.
AS WE WALKED OUT OF THE CAVE THAT NIGHT, WE FELT SOMEONE FOLLOWING US.
WE WALKED ACROSS THE FIELD TO THE GRAVEYARD LOCATED ON THE PROPERTY.
Eastridge: THAT'S WHERE WE STARTED USING OUR GHOST BOX.
Grimes: AS WE BEGAN DOING A GHOST-BOX SESSION, I FELT A HAND CARESSING THE RIGHT SIDE OF MY LEG.
Eastridge: I SAID, "IF YOU'RE GONNA TOUCH TERRI, YOU NEED TO GIVE US YOUR NAME.
" WHEN WE HEARD THE NAME "STEVEN" ON THE GHOST BOX, WE WERE SHOCKED.
Grimes: THAT GAVE ME THE HEEBIE-JEEBIES.
WE DON'T KNOW WHO STEVEN WAS.
WE BELIEVE THAT HE WAS ONE OF THE INMATES AT CENTRAL STATE LUNATIC ASYLUM AND THAT HE'S BURIED THERE IN THAT GRAVEYARD.
AS WE STOOD IN THE GRAVEYARD, I FELT LIKE SOMEONE WAS WATCHING US.
IT WAS JUS AN OVERPOWERING FEELING, AND I STARTED TAKING PICTURES.
[ CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKING .]
IN THE PICTURES, YOU CAN CLEARLY SEE THE SHAPE OF A MAN STANDING THERE BEHIND A TREE, WATCHING ME.
WHEN I SAW THAT PHOTO FOR THE FIRST TIME OF THAT PERSON WATCHING US, IT SHOOK ME TO THE CORE.
YOU COULD SEE A PERSON, ALL IN BLACK -- BLACK HAT, BLACK SUIT -- PEERING OUT FROM BEHIND A TREE, LOOKING AT US.
I THINK THAT WAS THE SPIRIT OF JAMES FOLEY, AND I THINK HE WAS FOLLOWING US AROUND THAT NIGHT.
AND HE JUST WANTED US TO KNOW THAT HE WAS THERE.
AFTER EVERYTHING WE HAD BEEN THROUGH, KARA AND I DECIDED IT WAS TIME TO CALL IT A NIGHT AND LEAVE.
AS WE WALKED TOWARDS OUR CAR THAT NIGHT IN THE PARKING LOT, I SAW A BRIEF FLASH BEHIND THE WHEEL OF MY S.
U.
V.
IT ALMOST LOOKED LIKE A MAN SITTING THERE, LIKE A MAN'S FACE.
Eastridge: SO SHE QUICKLY GRABS HER CAMERA, AND SHE SNAPS A PHOTO.
Grimes: THERE WAS A MAN SITTING BEHIND THE WHEEL OF MY S.
U.
V.
, MY EMPTY S.
U.
V.
THERE WAS A MAN THERE.
I WAS HORRIFIED.
Eastridge: IT WAS A VERY SCARY, OMINOUS FEELING.
WHAT IS HE DOING? HOW DO WE GET HIM OUT? IS HE GONNA GO HOME WITH HER? Grimes: AS I DRIVE AWAY THAT NIGHT, I KNEW SOMEBODY WAS THERE WITH ME.
I KNEW IT WAS THE SPIRIT OF JAMES FOLEY, AND I KNEW HE WAS FOLLOWING ME HOME.
WHEN I GOT HOME THAT NIGHT, AS I GOT OUT OF MY S.
U.
V.
AND WALKED INTO MY HOUSE, THAT FEELING OF SOMEONE BEING WITH ME -- IT DIDN'T LEAVE.
THE NEXT DAY, I'M HOME ALONE, AND I START HEARING FOOTSTEPS IN MY SECOND FLOOR.
[ TAPPING .]
BUT I'M THE ONLY ONE THERE.
THERE'S NO ONE ELSE AT HOME.
SO, I STAR RANDOMLY TAKING PICTURES.
THERE'S A CHINA CUPBOARD IN MY LIVING ROOM, AND AS I TOOK PICTURES OF THAT CHINA CUPBOARD, IN THE DOOR OF THE CHINA CUPBOARD, YOU SEE THE FACE OF A MAN.
IT'S THE SAME MAN THAT WAS BEHIND THE WHEEL OF MY S.
U.
V.
THAT NIGHT BEFORE.
IT WAS THE SPIRI OF JAMES FOLEY.
HE WAS IN MY LIVING ROOM.
IT WAS THE SCARIEST THING I'VE EVER SEEN.
Eastridge: INVESTIGATING "TOM" SAWYER PARK LEFT ME FEELING SAD FOR A LOT OF THOSE PEOPLE IN THE CEMETERY AND AFRAID OF THAT CAVE, BECAUSE IT'S A NEGATIVE ENTITY IN THERE.
Grimes: FOR WHATEVER REASON, I THINK JAMES FOLEY WANTS ME TO JOIN HIS LITTLE GROUP OF COLLECTED SOULS IN THAT CAVE.
THIS EXPERIENCE HAS TAUGHT ME THAT THE SPIRIT OF JAMES FOLEY WAS NOTHING TO BE TRIFLED WITH.
Schwedt: THERE'S BEEN MULTIPLE CHILD KILLINGS BACK IN THE WOODS.
IT LOOKS LIKE A HAND'S RIGHT BY HER FACE.
Jasmund: THEY'RE BREATHING ON MY NECK.
Schwedt: WE SAW SOMETHING MOVE TOWARDS AMBER.
IT WAS THE MOST FRIGHTENING THING I'VE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE.
Jasmund: SOMETHING IS WITH HER IN HER ROOM.
Schwedt: THERE'S BEEN MULTIPLE CHILD KILLINGS BACK IN THE WOODS.
WE SAW SOMETHING MOVE.
Jasmund: SOMETHING IS WITH HER IN HER ROOM.
MY GHOST STORY BEGAN WHEN I MOVED IN TO A HAUNTED HOME IN WESTLAND, MICHIGAN.
WHEN I FIRST MOVED IN TO MY HOUSE, IT WAS PROBABLY LIKE TWO WEEKS LATER THAT I NOTICED ODD, STRANGE THINGS HAPPENING.
YOU WOULD HEAR UNUSUAL SOUNDS.
I'D BE IN THE KITCHEN SOMETIMES, AND YOU WOULD SEE A SHADOW GO BY.
YOU'D FEEL COLD DRAFTS, DENSE AIR.
YOU'LL WALK, AND THERE'S NO WALL OR ANYTHING, BUT YOU FEEL LIKE YOU RAN INTO SOMETHING.
THEN OTHER THINGS STARTED OCCURRING, LIKE DOORS OPENING AND SHUTTING, LIGHTS GOING ON AND OFF WHEN THERE'S NOBODY BACK THERE TO TURN ON THE LIGHT.
I'D GO BACK THERE, FLIP THE SWITCH OFF.
I WOULDN'T MAKE A BIG FUSS ABOUT IT, BUT IT'S KIND OF HARD TO EXPLAIN TO CHILDREN AND TO MY SPOUSE WHAT WE WERE HEARING AND SEEING.
WELL, I MET LISA.
SHE MOVED IN TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
Schwedt: FLORAL STREET LOOKS LIKE A COMMON NEIGHBORHOOD.
WE'RE BACKED UP TO, LIKE, A NATURE PRESERVE.
INDIAN TRIBES USED TO LIVE THERE.
I WOULD SIT ON MY PORCH EVERY DAY, AND KRISTY EVENTUALLY WALKED OVER AND STARTED TALKING TO ME.
AND SHE KEP LOOKING AT HER HOUSE.
Jasmund: I WAS LOOKING AT MY HOUSE ACROSS THE STREET DIAGONAL, AND I COULD SEE A SHADOW IN THE WINDOW.
AND SHE ASKED ME, "WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT?" AND SO I EXPLAINED TO HER.
I WAS LIKE, "THERE'S A MAN STANDING IN MY WINDOW.
" SHE'S LIKE, "IS ANYBODY HOME?" I SAID, "NO.
" Schwedt: SHE GOES, "YOU'RE GONNA THINK I'M CRAZY.
" I WAS LIKE, "I DON'T THINK YOU'RE CRAZY.
I'M ACTUALLY A PARANORMAL INVESTIGATOR.
" Jasmund: AND I ASKED HER IF SHE'D LIKE TO INVESTIGATE MY HOUSE.
Schwedt: KRISTY'S HAD SOME PRETTY AMAZING EXPERIENCES IN HER HOUSE.
HER 3-YEAR-OLD DAUGHTER, AMBER, WAS TALKING TO SOMETHING THAT WASN'T THERE.
KRISTY WROTE IT OFF AS HER HAVING AN IMAGINARY FRIEND, BUT IT JUST KEP ESCALATING AND ESCALATING TO WHERE SOMETHING HAD ACTUALLY GRABBED HER.
SHE HEARS AUDIBLE VOICES AND SCREAMING WHERE SHE WOULD ACTUALLY HAVE NIGHT TERRORS.
I MEAN, SHE WAS PRETTY FRIGHTENED TO BE IN HER OWN ROOM.
Jasmund: THERE'S MULTIPLE TIMES THAT SHE WAKES UP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGH WHERE SHE SCREAMS.
BUT WHEN SHE GOES TO HER GRANDMA'S HOUSE, SHE DOESN'T FREQUENTLY WAKE UP.
AT HER AUNT'S HOUSE, SHE DOESN'T FREQUENTLY WAKE UP.
IT'S ONLY AT MY HOUSE.
Schwedt: SOME OF THE STUFF THAT SHE SAYS IT TELLS HER ISN'T THE KIND OF STUFF YOU WAN YOUR DAUGHTER TO BE TOLD.
SO, KRISTY DECIDED THAT IT WAS TIME TO SEE WHAT WAS IN HER HOUSE.
WHEN WE FIRST WALKED INTO THE HOUSE, WE STARTED SETTING UP EQUIPMENT, AND WITHIN FIVE MINUTES OF BEING THERE, ONE OF MY INVESTIGATORS STARTED FEELING SICK.
I MEAN, LIME GREEN -- SHE WAS PHYSICALLY SICK.
AND WHEN SHE WALKED OUT OF THE HOUSE, SHE WAS COMPLETELY FINE.
AS SOON AS SHE WALKED BACK IN, SHE STARTED TURNING GREEN AGAIN.
IT WAS AWFUL.
A LITTLE WHILE LATER, AS WE WERE SETTING UP THE CAMERA IN THE HALLWAY, WE WERE LOOKING STRAIGHT DOWN THE HALL INTO AMBER'S ROOM, AND WE SAW SOMETHING MOVE FROM THE CLOSET TOWARDS HER BED.
THE WHOLE TIME, WE HAD MULTIPLE RECORDERS GOING.
Jasmund: WE WERE TALKING TO THE SPIRITS, ASKING, "WHO ARE YOU? SHOW YOUR FACE.
" Schwedt: WE WERE ASKING WHAT WAS MOVING IN THE CLOSET.
WHEN WE REVIEWED, WE FOUND AN EVP THAT SOUNDED LIKE A SCARY MALE WHISPERING.
IT SAID, "IT'S A MONSTER.
" I WAS TAKEN ABACK.
IT SCARED ME BECAUSE THERE'S A 3 YEAR OLD INVOLVED, AND BECAUSE SHE'S BEEN TALKING TO SOMETHING IN HER CLOSET, WE WERE SO FRIGHTENED FOR HER.
I MEAN, OBVIOUSLY, THERE'S SOMETHING THERE THAT'S A LITTLE DARKER THAN WE THOUGHT.
Jasmund: WHEN IT SAID IT WAS A MONSTER, IT DID FRIGHTEN ME.
IT FRIGHTENED ME FOR MY DAUGHTER'S SAKE.
CAN SHE SEE THIS? DOES SHE KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON? IS SHE AWARE OF WHO SHE'S TALKING TO? AT FIRST, I THOUGH SHE WAS JUST MAKE-BELIEVING PEOPLE WERE THERE WITH HER, AND NOW IT'S COMING TO MORE THE REALITY OF SOMETHING IS WITH HER IN HER ROOM.
Schwedt: I HONESTLY BELIEVE THAT KRISTY IS A SENSITIVE.
I JUST DON'T THINK SHE KNOWS HOW TO USE IT YET.
Jasmund: I FEEL THE SPIRITS' PRESENCE.
I FEEL THEM WHEN THEY'RE STANDING AROUND.
I FEEL THEM WHEN THEY PASS BY.
I JUST KNOW THAT THEY'RE THERE.
Schwedt: SHE, LIKE, CAN TELL ME, YOU KNOW, "TAKE A PICTURE, BECAUSE I FEEL SOMETHING HERE," AND THERE'S ACTUALLY SOMETHING IN THE PICTURE.
LIKE, WHEN WE WERE SITTING IN THE ROOM, SHE GOES, "TAKE A PICTURE OF ME REAL FAST.
SOMETHING'S TOUCHING MY FACE.
" Jasmund: I FELT THE COLD, DENSE AIR.
I SAYS, "WHATEVER IT IS, IS HERE IN THE ROOM.
IT'S STANDING RIGHT NEXT TO ME.
" Schwedt: IN THE PICTURE, THERE'S A WHITE MIS RIGHT BY HER FACE.
IT LOOKS LIKE A HAND.
I WAS BLOWN AWAY.
KNOWING THAT SOMETHING WAS THERE THAT WAS A MONSTER OR WHATEVER THAT COULD FOLLOW ME AND TOUCH ME AND OBVIOUSLY GRAB PEOPLE -- IT WAS FRIGHTENING.
BUT I WAS ALSO INTRIGUED AT THE SAME TIME, BECAUSE IT'S WHA I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR ALL ALONG.
THE PROOF THAT I'VE ALWAYS WANTED, WE WERE ACTUALLY ABLE TO FIND IN THAT HOUSE.
Jasmund: MY DAUGHTER WAS ASLEEP THROUGH THE WHOLE INVESTIGATION.
I WAS CHECKING ON HER, BECAUSE I FELT A COLD, DENSE AIR COMING FROM HER ROOM.
Schwedt: SHE GOES, "COME HERE.
COME TAKE A PICTURE OF AMBER.
" SHE GOES, "SOMETHING'S HERE.
" Jasmund: IT WAS KIND OF LIKE THEY WERE BREATHING ON MY NECK.
Schwedt: WALKED INTO THE ROOM, SNAPPED A PICTURE, AND WHAT WE CAPTURED REALLY SHOCKED ME.
Jasmund: THERE WAS ODD, STRANGE MIS FLOATING RIGHT ABOVE AMBER'S HEAD.
Schwedt: THE MIST IS HOVERING ABOVE HER DAUGHTER, AND THEN IT'S GONE.
Jasmund: THAT DID FRIGHTEN ME, BECAUSE THAT IS THE PLACE WHERE SHE DOES DWELL AND SHE DOES SLEEP, AND I HAVE NO WAY OF KNOWING WHOSE SPIRIT IT IS, WHY THEY'RE THERE, OR WHAT THEIR PURPOSE IS.
Schwedt: WE DID A LOT OF RESEARCH ON THE SURROUNDING AREA, AND WE WERE ABLE TO FIND THAT THE WOODS THAT ARE ABOUT 25 TO 50 FEE AWAY FROM HER HOUSE -- THERE'S BEEN MULTIPLE CHILD KILLINGS BACK IN THE '80s.
Jasmund: BACK IN THE DAY, IN THE HINES PARK WOODS, SOME KIDS DID GO MISSING.
SOME KIDS WERE MURDERED BACK THERE.
Schwedt: WE WEREN'T ABLE TO SAY 100% WHO OR WHAT WAS THERE, BUT THERE IS DEFINITELY SOME DARK HISTORY THAT GOES ALONG WITH THE LAND.
I BELIEVE THE SPIRIT IN THE MIS COULD BE ONE OF THE CHILD KILLERS.
AND THAT IT'S TRYING TO MAKE CONTACT WITH AMBER, WHICH IS EVEN SCARIER.
Jasmund: WHILE LISA AND HER TEAM WERE INVESTIGATING THE HOUSE, THEY CAPTURED AN IMAGE CREEPING AROUND THE WALL IN AMBER'S ROOM.
I DIDN'T REALIZE AT THE TIME WHAT I HAD CAPTURED.
WHEN WE GO BACK TO REVIEW IT, WE'RE ALL SITTING THERE STARING AT THE SCREEN, AND THERE'S A FACE THAT POPS OUT.
Schwedt: IT WAS THE MOST FRIGHTENING THING I'VE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE.
I PAN AROUND THE CORNER, AND UP IN THE RIGHT-HAND CORNER OF THE SCREEN, YOU SEE A FACE POP AROUND THE CORNER AND GO BACK IN.
Jasmund: IF YOU SLOW IT DOWN, IT IS VERY DISTINCT.
Schwedt: YOU CAN TELL IT'S A MALE FACE.
I'M NOT SURE IF IT'S ONE OF THE VICTIMS OF THE CHILD KILLER OR IF IT WAS ONE OF THE CHILD KILLERS, BUT IT'S DEFINITELY THERE IN AMBER'S ROOM, AND IT WANTS TO BE KNOWN.
I WORRY ABOUT AMBER BECAUSE SHE'S SO YOUNG.
I DON'T THINK THAT SHE'S IN ANY DANGER, BUT I ALSO DON'T WANT TO BE WRONG AND FIND OUT LATER THAT SHE IS.
Jasmund: LISA'S INVESTIGATION GAVE ME GREAT VALIDATION ON EVERYTHING THAT WE'VE BEEN THROUGH IN OUR FAMILY IN THAT HOUSE.
THEY REVIEWED A LOT OF EVIDENCE WITH ME -- ALL THE ENTITIES, ORBS, VOICES RESPONDING.
AFTER I HAD CONFIRMATION OF PARANORMAL ACTIVITY, PEOPLE ACTUALLY BELIEVED WHAT WE WERE HEARING AND WHAT WE WERE SEEING.
THERE'S A RELIEF OF KNOWING I'M NOT GOING INSANE, A RELIEF OF I DON'T HAVE TO MAKE EXCUSES OF WHY THIS IS HAPPENING, BECAUSE WE HAVE AN EXPLANATION.
Schwedt: I DON'T THINK WE WERE PREPARED FOR WHAT WE WALKED INTO.
ONCE I REVIEWED ALL THIS EVIDENCE AND FOUND OU WHAT WAS ACTUALLY THERE, I WAS SCARED TO DEATH.
IT'S JUST LIKE ANY NORMAL HOUSE, AND THEN THERE'S ALL OF THIS DARK ENERGY IN I THAT IS PROBABLY RELATED TO THE CHILD KILLINGS.
WHATEVER IT IS, IT'S MALEVOLENT, ANGRY, AND WANTS TO BE HEARD.
Doe: I'M FASCINATED BEING IN THIS PLACE, BUT I'M PETRIFIED.
I'VE SEEN WHAT THE SPIRITS HERE ARE CAPABLE OF.
Chilton: I KNOW WITHOUT A DOUB THE SPIRIT OF JOHN IS STILL THERE.
HE TOUCHES WOMEN.
Doe: SOMETHING HAD THEIR HANDS ON HER.
IT WAS BLOODCURDLING.
Chilton: THE SPIRIT OF JOHN IS STILL THERE.
HE TOUCHES WOMEN.
Doe: SOMETHING HAD THEIR HANDS ON HER.
IT WAS BLOODCURDLING.
MY GHOST STORY BEGAN WHEN I STEPPED INSIDE A BUILDING IN KAMPSVILLE, ILLINOIS.
IT'S A VERY HISTORIC AREA AND A VERY HAUNTED AREA.
THERE ARE SO MANY SPIRITS IN THIS ONE PLACE, AND THEY'RE SO ACTIVE.
IN 2008, IT WAS A CAFé AND SECONDHAND SHOP.
I WOULD GO THERE A FEW DAYS A WEEK AND BAKE THEIR PIES.
STRANGE THINGS HAPPENED THERE WHILE WE WERE AT WORK -- THINGS THAT WERE PRETTY CREEPY.
WE WOULD BE IN THE BACK WORKING, AND YOU WOULD HEAR SOMEONE KNOCKING FROM INSIDE A CLOSET.
YOU'D GO TO THE CLOSET, AND THERE'S NO ONE IN THERE.
ONE DAY, ALL THE BELLS AND WHISTLES WENT OFF ON THIS TOY AS I WALKED PAST IT, AND I TURNED, AND I SAID, "DOES THAT THING HAVE A MOTION SENSOR ON IT?" AND THE OWNER SAID, "NO.
THAT DOESN'T HAVE ANY BATTERIES IN IT.
" SO, I HAD TO GO CHECK FOR MYSELF, AND THERE WERE NO BATTERIES IN THE TOY.
THINGS LIKE THIS HAPPENED ALL THE TIME.
SO, WE THOUGH THIS PLACE WAS HAUNTED.
THAT'S WHERE WE BEGAN REALLY CHECKING INTO THIS PLACE AND FINDING OU THE REALLY STRANGE THINGS THAT WERE GOING ON THERE.
WE STARTED DOING INVESTIGATION TOURS THERE, AND MY FRIEND JEANNE CAME BACK OFTEN.
Chilton: I'M ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE THAT, YOU KNOW, I LISTEN TO OTHER PEOPLE, BUT I HAVE TO SEE I FOR MYSELF.
THERE WERE SO MANY REPORTS OF ACTIVITY THAT HAPPENS THERE, SO I WANTED TO GET DOWN TO WHAT THE TRUTH IS.
WE FOUND THROUGH RESEARCH THAT IT WAS BUILT ON INDIAN LAND ON A FOUNDATION OF LIMESTONE, WHICH IS SAID TO FUEL PARANORMAL ACTIVITY.
Doe: WE CHECKED COUNTY RECORDS AND FOUND OUT THAT IT HAD BEEN A FUNERAL HOME IN 1905.
Chilton: THE ORIGINAL COOLER IS STILL THERE, AND THAT'S WHERE THEY USED TO LAY OUT THE BODIES.
Doe: IT WAS SOLD IN 1920, RAN AS A GENERAL STORE UNTIL IT WAS BOUGHT IN 2006 BY THE LADY THAT TURNED IT INTO THE CAFé AND SECONDHAND SHOP, WHICH CLOSED A FEW YEARS AGO.
WE SPOKE TO A COUNTY HISTORIAN WHO TOLD US THERE WAS A LOT OF TRAGEDY WITH EVERYONE WHO'S EVER OWNED IT.
WHEN IT WAS A FUNERAL HOME, THE OWNER'S BROTHER WAS A COUNTY CONSTABLE.
HE TRIED TO BREAK UP A FIGH IN TOWN AND WAS STABBED AND CARRIED INTO THE BACK ROOM OF THE PLACE, WHERE HE DIED.
THE NEXT OWNER WAS A VERY NASTY MAN NAMED JOHN.
Chilton: JOHN HURT CHILDREN.
WE HAVE RECORDS TO SUPPORT THAT.
HE RAPED A 14-YEAR-OLD CHILD WHO WAS MENTALLY HANDICAPPED.
THERE'S PROOF OF THAT BECAUSE SHE WAS ACTUALLY PREGNANT.
IT IS SAID THAT THE SPIRIT OF JOHN IS STILL THERE IN THE BUILDING.
Doe: SOME OF THE OTHER OWNERS HAVE LOST CHILDREN IN CAR ACCIDENTS.
THEY'VE HAD CHILDREN MURDERED.
Chilton: RITA BELIEVES THE PLACE HAS A NEGATIVE CURSE ON IT, BUT I FEEL VERY DRAWN TO THE PLACE, AND SO I PURCHASED THE BUILDING.
I'VE BEEN DOING RENOVATIONS ON THE BUILDING MYSELF.
THERE ARE TIMES WHEN I'M WORKING IN THE BUILDING THAT I FEEL FRIGHTENED, WHEN I HEAR OBJECTS MOVING AND I KNOW THAT THERE'S NO ONE IN THE BUILDING.
SHORTLY AFTER I BOUGHT THE PLACE, I WAS IN THE BACK ROOM ON THE TOP OF THE LADDER WHEN I HEARD, RIGHT BEHIND ME, SOMEONE START WHISTLING A TUNE.
IT STARTLED ME SO BAD, I ALMOST FELL OFF THE LADDER.
WHEN I DID GET DOWN TO SEE, THERE WAS NO ONE THERE.
THE FIRST THOUGHT IN MY MIND WAS THE SPIRIT OF JOHN.
JOHN SEEMS TO BE THIS PREDOMINATE NEGATIVE SPIRI THAT TOUCHES WOMEN.
Doe: I USUALLY DON'T LE ANYONE IN THERE WHO'S UNDER 16, BECAUSE HE'S JUS SO NASTY PHYSICALLY, VERBALLY.
WHEN US GIRLS WALK IN A ROOM, WE'LL HEAR EVPs THAT SAY, "HI, SLUT.
HI, WHORE.
" Chilton: THERE ARE THOSE OCCASIONS WHEN I FEEL THAT THE SPIRI OF JOHN IS PRESEN THAT I DO FEEL VERY AFRAID TO BE IN THE BUILDING BY MYSELF.
I WAS TAKING SOME PHOTOS FOR THE INSURANCE COMPANY.
THERE WAS NO ONE ELSE IN THE BUILDING WHEN THIS TOOK PLACE, AND WHEN I LOOKED AT THE PHOTO, THERE APPEARED TO BE A SHADOW FIGURE OF A MAN RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME.
Doe: IT'S A VERY CREEPY PICTURE.
YOU DON'T SEE EYES OR FEATURES.
BUT IT'S VERY OBVIOUSLY A SHADOW OF A MAN, WHICH WE BELIEVE TO EITHER BE JOHN OR PERHAPS CHARLIE, THE CONSTABLE THAT WAS STABBED AND CARRIED BACK TO THA BACK ROOM, WHERE HE DIED.
IT GIVES YOU THE CREEPS.
IT MAKES YOU FEEL WATCHED.
Chilton: AT THAT POINT, I DID GET A LITTLE FREAKED OUT, SO I HAD TO STEP OUTSIDE THE BUILDING.
I WENT AHEAD AND LOCKED THE DOORS AND LEFT FOR THE DAY.
Doe: ONE DAY, WE'RE SEEING WHAT LOOKED LIKE LITTLE SHADOWS DARTING AROUND.
I SNAPPED THIS PICTURE, AND THERE APPEARS TO BE A LITTLE SHADOW CHILD.
YOU CAN SEE THE SILHOUETTE.
WE DON'T HAVE ANY RECORD OF WHO LOST A LITTLE GIRL ON THIS PROPERTY, SO WE CALL HER EMMA, AND SHE SEEMS TO RESPOND TO IT.
Chilton: I WAS SITTING AT THE DINING ROOM TABLE AND I HAD ASKED THE SPIRIT OF EMMA TO COME SIT DOWN NEXT TO ME.
ALMOST IMMEDIATELY, I HEARD HER AUDIBLY SAY OUT LOUD, "MAMA," RIGHT NEXT TO ME.
AND I TURNED TO MY LEFT, AND THERE WAS NOTHING THERE.
Doe: JEANNE JUST FREAKED OUT.
WE ALL DID.
WE ALL SAID, "DID YOU HEAR THAT?" AND IMMEDIATELY PLAYED BACK THE RECORDERS -- "DID WE HEAR WHAT WE THOUGHT WE HEARD?" YES, WE DID.
IT'S A CHILD SAYING, "MAMA.
" Chilton: I WAS FRIGHTENED BECAUSE I WASN'T EXPECTING TO HEAR IT OUT LOUD, AND I WASN'T EXPECTING I TO HAPPEN RIGHT NEXT TO ME.
Doe: THAT RECORDING UNNERVES ME AND GIVES ME THE CHILLS NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES I LISTEN TO IT.
TO THINK THAT THIS LITTLE SPIRI OF THIS CHILD IS TRAPPED WITH THE SPIRIT OF JOHN, IT'S HEARTBREAKING.
YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT HE'S GOING TO DO.
ONE NIGHT, MY DAUGHTER SET HER PURSE DOWN ON A TABLE.
IT WAS A VERY EXPENSIVE BAG.
WE SAW THE HANDLE OF THE PURSE RAISE UP AND FALL BACK DOWN.
IT HAD BEEN CUT CLEAN, AS IF IT HAD BEEN CU WITH A PAIR OF SCISSORS.
MY DAUGHTER SAID, "THANKS, YOU [BLEEP.]
BARBARIANS.
" AND AT THAT MOMENT, THINGS HAD CHANGED.
THE MOOD WAS ANGRY.
A LARGE PIECE OF PLASTIC RIPPED OFF THE DOOR.
TWO METAL SHELVES CAME FLYING OFF THE WALL ACROSS THE ROOM.
WE WERE PETRIFIED.
WE COULDN'T GET TO THE DOOR FAST ENOUGH, AND AS WE ROUNDED THE CORNER AND WENT OUT THE FRONT DOOR, A BOOKSHELF FLEW OUT THE DOOR BEHIND US.
IT WAS TERRIFYING.
TO REALIZE THAT A SPIRI CAN ACTUALLY PICK UP A PIECE OF FURNITURE AND HURL IT AT YOU IS JUST BLOODCURDLING.
IT WAS PROBABLY ABOUT A MONTH AND A HALF BEFORE I WAS ABLE TO SET FOOT BACK IN THE PLACE.
I WAS SO AFRAID.
Chilton: I BELIEVE THAT THE SPIRI OF JOHN IS THERE ALL THE TIME.
I THINK HE'S MORE ACTIVE WHEN WOMEN ENTER THE BUILDING.
ONE NIGHT, WE WERE INVESTIGATING IN THE DINING ROOM, AND ONE OF THE INVESTIGATORS SAID THAT SHE FEL LIKE SOMEONE WAS TOUCHING HER BACK.
Doe: SO WE SNAPPED A COUPLE OF PICTURES OF HER AND CAPTURED A SKELETAL HAND ON THE SIDE OF HER FACE AND ANOTHER ONE ON HER CHES AND WHAT LOOKS LIKE A FACE STANDING BEHIND HER.
Chilton: WE WERE JUST COMPLETELY STARTLED AT WHAT WE WERE SEEING.
I WAS VERY AFRAID THAT IT HAD TOUCHED HER.
WE PLAYED BACK THE RECORDER AND DURING THE TIME THAT THE PHOTO WAS TAKEN, AN EVP WAS CAPTURED.
Doe: AND THIS CREEPY GUY SAYS, "GO RIGHT TO SLEEP.
" IT'S SCARY TO THINK THAT SOMETHING HAD THEIR HANDS ON HER AND ACTUALLY VERBALLY RESPONDED.
Chilton: SHE FELT IT.
WE CAPTURED AN EVP TO SUPPORT IT AND WE HAVE THE PHOTO TO SUPPORT IT.
[ CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS .]
Doe: FROM MY KNOWLEDGE OF THE WAY THAT HE PUTS HIS HANDS ON WOMEN, I BELIEVE IT WAS THE SPIRIT OF JOHN.
Chilton: I HAVE HOPES TO MAKE THIS BUILDING INTO A PARANORMAL RESEARCH FACILITY SO THAT I CAN EDUCATE PEOPLE THAT SPIRITS ARE REAL.
THEY DO EXIST.
AFTER HEARING THE SPIRIT OF EMMA SAYING "MAMA" TO ME AFTER CAPTURING THE NUMEROUS PHOTOS OF APPARITIONS OF A CHILD, AS WELL AS WHAT I BELIEVE TO BE THE SPIRIT OF JOHN, I KNOW WITHOUT A DOUB THAT THIS BUILDING IS HAUNTED.
Doe: I'M FASCINATED BEING IN THIS PLACE, BUT I'M PETRIFIED.
I'VE SEEN WHAT THE SPIRITS HERE ARE CAPABLE OF.
I WISH JEANNE WOULDN'T WORK IN THERE ALONE.
I FEAR FOR HER.
I BELIEVE THAT JOHN COULD HARM HER.
I BELIEVE THERE MAY BE OTHER SPIRITS IN THERE THAT COULD HARM HER.
BUT, AT THE SAME TIME, I KNOW YOU CAN'T WALK AWAY.
THE PLACE JUST WON' LET YOU WALK AWAY FROM IT.
Musgrove: IF THE SPIRITS CAN MOVE ROCKS OFF THE TABLE, WHAT CAN IT DO TO ME? Reed: IT STOPPED ME DEAD IN MY TRACKS.
Musgrove: STARTED TO GET VERY SCARED.
BOOM -- THERE WAS A PICTURE OF A WOMAN.
Reed: I KNEW IT WAS A SPIRIT.
Musgrove: WHEN THINGS START GETTING THAT OUT OF CONTROL, YOU WANT SOMEBODY THERE WITH YOU.
Musgrove: IF THE SPIRITS CAN MOVE ROCKS OFF THE TABLE, WHAT CAN IT DO TO ME? Reed: IT STOPPED ME DEAD IN MY TRACKS.
BOOM -- THERE WAS A PICTURE OF A WOMAN.
Reed: I KNEW IT WAS A SPIRIT.
[ CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS .]
MY GHOST STORY BEGAN WHEN I STARTED WORKING AT THE WASHOE CLUB IN VIRGINIA CITY, NEVADA.
VIRGINIA CITY IS A VERY OLD MINING TOWN FROM THE 1800s.
THERE'S QUITE A LO OF HISTORY THERE, A LOT OF ORIGINAL BUILDINGS.
IN 1875, A FIRE BURNT DOWN ABOUT HALF OF THEM, BUT THEY REBUILT AND KEPT GOING UNTIL THE MINES DRIED OUT, AND NOW IT'S JUST A NICE TOURIST TOWN.
I'M A TOUR GUIDE AT THE WASHOE CLUB.
BEFORE I STARTED WORKING THERE, I HEARD STORIES OF IT BEING HAUNTED.
IT WAS ORIGINALLY BUILT IN 1862.
ON THE FIRST FLOOR, YOU WALK INTO THE BAR, AND IT'S JUS A VERY OLD-LOOKING SALOON, STILL WITH THE BULLET HOLES IN THE TIN-ROOF CEILINGS.
THERE WERE OFFICES ON THE SECOND FLOOR.
THE THIRD FLOOR WAS A BROTHEL.
THERE IS A FEELING IN THERE THAT THE ENERGY HAS BEEN LEFT BEHIND FROM THE YEARS PAST.
THERE WAS A COUPLE WINTERS WHERE THE MORGUE WOULD OVERFLOW DUE TO THE GROUND BEING TOO FROZEN TO BURY BODIES, SO THEY WOULD STORE THE BODIES UP UNTIL SPRINGTIME, AND THE BACK STORAGE ROOM AT THE WASHOE CLUB WAS ONE PLACE WHERE THEY STORED BODIES.
WE CALL IT THE CRYPT NOW, AND YOU DEFINITELY CAN FEEL PRESENCE OF SPIRITS IN THE CRYPT.
PEOPLE PUT ROCKS ON THE TABLE IN THE CRYPT.
SOMETIMES, THEY'RE JUST MOVED BY THE SPIRITS.
OTHER TIMES, THEY'VE BEEN THROWN.
LENA IS KNOWN TO BE A LADY THAT WAS VERY BEAUTIFUL.
THE BAR OWNER REALLY WANTED TO GET HER TO WORK AT THE BROTHEL, YET SHE WAS MARRIED, SO HE HAD HER HUSBAND MURDERED.
SO, EVENTUALLY, SHE DID HAVE TO TURN IN TO WORKING THERE.
WHEN SHE FOUND OUT THE BAR OWNER HAD HER HUSBAND MURDERED, SHE WENT INTO A FIT OF RAGE, WENT AFTER THE BAR OWNER.
HIS WIFE WAS IN THE BAR AND SAW THIS HAPPENING, SO SHE BROKE A BOTTLE AND SLIT LENA'S THROAT.
[ WOMAN SCREAMS .]
WE BELIEVE THAT LENA IS THE SPIRI THAT IS OFTEN SEEN ON THE SPIRAL STAIRCASE.
ABOUT THREE WEEKS AFTER I STARTED WORKING THERE, AS I WOULD BE TALKING TO THE PEOPLE ON TOUR, MY HAIR WOULD STAR BEING STROKED.
IT WAS DEFINITELY A HAND, AND SOMETIMES CONTINUED DOWN TO MY BACK.
IT WOULD CAUSE ME TO LOSE TRACK OF MY WORDING AS I WAS TALKING, 'CAUSE I WOULD SUDDENLY REALIZE SOMETHING'S HAPPENING.
ONE DAY, I WAS TAKING A TOUR ON THE THIRD FLOOR, AND AS I TURNED THE CORNER, I SAW A MAN RUN ACROSS THE ROOM.
IT STOPPED ME DEAD IN MY TRACKS, AND I REALLY HAD TO CATCH MY BREATH, BECAUSE I KNEW THERE WAS A MAN WHO WAS 70 YEARS OLD WHO TOOK HIS LIFE IN THERE.
NOBODY HAD GONE IN FRONT OF ME, AND NOBODY HAD PASSED ME, SO I KNEW IT WAS A SPIRIT.
ONE NIGHT, I WAS WORKING BEHIND THE BAR.
I JUST HAPPENED TO LOOK UP AND SEE A MARTINI GLASS FLY OU AND THEN JUST DROP.
[ GLASS SHATTERS .]
THERE WAS NOBODY NEAR THE GLASS.
IT WAS WAY AT THE OTHER END OF THE BAR.
PEOPLE SITTING AT THE BAR JUST LOOKED AT ME.
"DID YOU SEE THAT?" AND WE WERE ALL JUST BAFFLED.
A LO OF PARANORMAL INVESTIGATORS COME TO THE WASHOE CLUB TO INVESTIGATE.
ONE DAY, JASON CAME INTO THE BAR ON HIS OWN.
Musgrove: I MET JEN AT THE WASHOE CLUB.
SHE WAS ONE OF THE TOUR GUIDES THAT I INTERVIEWED REGARDING THE HAUNTS THERE.
JEN'S SON TOOK A PHOTO ON THE SECOND FLOOR, AND HE CAPTURED RED ENERGY.
WHEN YOU LOOK AT THIS PHOTO, YOU COULD JUST SEE THE DIFFERENT LAYERS OF ENERGY ILLUMINATING FROM THIS.
IT'S AMAZING.
LATER THAT NIGHT, I SHOWED UP AROUND 9:00 TO CONDUCT MY INVESTIGATION.
I WAS THE ONLY PERSON IN THE BUILDING.
EVEN RIGHT OFF THE GATE FROM UNLOADING MY EQUIPMENT, I ACTUALLY FEL A PRESENCE THERE.
IT SEEMED LIKE A REALLY OMINOUS ENVIRONMENT.
THE FIRST PLACE THAT I WEN THAT NIGHT WAS THE CRYPT.
THERE WAS A TABLE BACK THERE.
I PLACED A ROCK ON THE TABLE AND PUT MY DIGITAL RECORDER RIGHT NEXT TO THE ROCK.
THEN I SET UP ANOTHER DIGITAL RECORDER IN THE MUSEUM AREA.
RIGHT OFF THE BAT, I STARTED TO HEAR FOOTSTEPS UPSTAIRS.
I WOULD JUST SEE SHADOW FIGURES MOVING.
WHEN I WENT BACK TO THE CRYP TO REVIEW MY AUDIO, I NOTICED THAT THE ROCK I PLACED ON THE TABLE WAS GONE.
IT WAS PRETTY INTENSE, YOU KNOW? I MEAN, I WAS IN THIS BUILDING BY MYSELF, AND I KNEW THAT I DIDN'T MOVE IT, SO I WAS GETTING WORRIED.
I FELT LIKE IF THE SPIRITS CAN MOVE ROCKS OFF THE TABLE, WHAT CAN IT DO TO ME? THEN WHEN I LISTENED TO THE TAPE, I HEARD THE ROCK THAT I PLACED ON THE TABLE HITTING THE GROUND.
[ CLATTER .]
WHEN I HEARD THAT, I WAS REALLY SHOCKED.
Reed: WHEN I HEARD JASON'S EVP, I GOT CHILLS.
[ CLATTER .]
MAYBE THERE ARE SOME SPIRITS THERE THAT ARE A LITTLE MORE ANGRIER THAN I HAVE FELT.
Musgrove: AFTER THAT, I WENT INTO THE MUSEUM TO REVIEW MY OTHER DIGITAL RECORDER, AND I HEARD AN EVP OF A VOICE, SAYING IT SOUNDED LIKE, "I will kill you.
" WHEN I HEARD THAT, IT JUST SENT CHILLS COMPLETELY ALL THROUGH MY SPINE.
IT WAS DEFINITELY A MAN'S VOICE THREATENING ME.
I STARTED TO GET VERY SCARED.
I DIDN'T WANT TO BE A VICTIM OF WHAT THEY CAN DO.
Reed: WHEN I HEARD THAT EVP, I WAS ACTUALLY SCARED FOR JASON.
Musgrove: THAT'S WHEN I DECIDED TO PULL OUT MY CAMERA.
I WENT BACK INTO THE CRYPT, TOOK A PICTURE, AND I SAW A WHITE MIS IN THE UPPER LEFT-HAND CORNER.
Reed: THAT IS OBVIOUSLY NOT SMOKE.
THERE'S NOBODY SMOKING THERE OR ANYTHING.
AND I THINK IT IS A SPIRI MANIFESTING ITSELF.
Musgrove: AT THAT POINT, I SAID, OUT LOUD, "IF THERE'S ANY SPIRITS HERE THAT WANT TO BE SEEN, HERE'S YOUR CHANCE, BECAUSE I'M TAKING PICTURES.
" AND BY THE TIME I GO TO THE BOTTOM OF THE STAIRS -- BOOM -- THERE WAS A PICTURE OF A WOMAN.
[ CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS .]
YOU SEE A WHITE MIST AND HER FACE, AND IT LOOKS LIKE SHE'S LEANING UP AGAINST THE DOOR.
Reed: THERE WAS DEFINITELY A LADY IN THIS PICTURE.
I WAS IN AWE.
THE MIST COULD POSSIBLY BE THE SPIRIT OF LENA, THE PROSTITUTE WHOSE LIFE WAS TAKEN THERE.
Musgrove: WHEN I CAPTURED THAT LAST PHOTO, I KNEW THAT I WAS DEFINITELY NOT ALONE.
I DID NOT KNOW WHAT THE SPIRITS WERE CAPABLE OF DOING, IF I WAS IN DANGER OR ANYTHING, AND I FIGURED I SHOULD PROBABLY JUST WRAP UP MY INVESTIGATION.
WHEN THINGS START GETTING THAT OUT OF CONTROL, YOU WANT SOMEBODY THERE WITH YOU.
Reed: I DO BELIEVE THE SPIRITS AT THE WASHOE CLUB ARE GONNA BE THERE AS LONG AS IT STANDS.
THAT IS THEIR PLACE, AND WE, AS PEOPLE GOING THROUGH IT, WE'RE JUST VISITING.
Musgrove: AFTER HEARING THE ROCK MOVE OFF THE TABLE [ CLATTER .]
HEARING THE EVP OF THE VOICE SAYING, "I WILL KILL YOU" AND CAPTURING THE FEMALE MIS AGAINST THE DOOR, I HAVE NO DOUB THAT THE WASHOE CLUB IS HAUNTED.
Reed: I WOULD SAY TO THOSE WHO DO NOT BELIEVE, SPEND A NIGH AT THE WASHOE CLUB, AND THEN WHEN YOU LEAVE, SEE WHAT YOU BELIEVE.
Biery: AS I LOOKED AT THE SECOND AND THIRD PICTURE, I COULD SEE A DISTINCT IMAGE OF A SHADOW FIGURE.
YOU COULD FEEL THAT IT WASN' WANTING YOU THERE.
WE JUST STARTED TAKING MORE PICTURES, AND YOU CAN SEE, CLEARLY, A WOMAN.
Bryant: AND THERE'S A MAN ON THE LEFT-HAND SIDE.
I WAS COMPLETELY STUNNED.
Biery: WE JUST STARTED TAKING PICTURES, AND YOU COULD SEE, CLEARLY, A WOMAN.
Bryant: AND THERE'S A MAN ON THE LEFT-HAND SIDE, AND THERE'S ANOTHER WOMAN IN THE BACK.
I WAS COMPLETELY STUNNED.
Biery: MY GHOST STORY BEGAN WHEN I STEPPED INSIDE OF A 140-YEAR-OLD BUILDING IN BETHEL, OHIO.
IN 2001, I WAS ORDAINED AS A PRIEST, AND I'VE BEEN PRACTICING IN MINISTRY FOR THE LAST 12 YEARS.
THE WAY I GOT INVOLVED IN THE PARANORMAL WORLD WAS I ACTUALLY BECAME PART OF A CO-FOUNDING OF A PARANORMAL TEAM.
THE MOTTO OF THE GROUP WAS "SPIRITS HAVE A STORY TO TELL.
WE'RE GONNA TELL IT.
" TYING THA INTO MY PERSONAL THEOLOGY AND DEVELOPING MY PERSONAL THEOLOGY ON WHAT REALLY EXISTED BEYOND DEATH.
TONY AND I HAVE BEEN BEST FRIENDS SINCE FIRST GRADE, SO WE'VE KNOWN EACH OTHER FOR ABOUT 28 YEARS NOW.
Bryant: I THINK WITH DAVE BEING RELIGIOUS AND MYSELF BEING OF A CALM NATURE, WE MAKE A GOOD TEAM, THAT SPIRI AND PARANORMAL ACTIVITY WANTS TO ACTUALLY COME OU AND SHOW THEMSELVES TO US.
Biery: WE WENT TO ZIP'S PRINTING BECAUSE WE WERE DOING A PARANORMAL CONFERENCE BACK IN MAY OF 2012.
WE WERE TALKING TO SOME FOLKS, AND THEY WERE SAYING SOME UNUSUAL THINGS WERE HAPPENING AT THIS BUILDING.
THEY REALLY URGED US TO KIND OF GET IN CONTACT WITH THE OWNER AND GO THERE AND DO AN INVESTIGATION.
Bryant: WE JUST TALKED TO PRISCILLA, THE OWNER, ABOU THE HISTORY OF THE BUILDING.
SHE SAID IT WAS BUIL A LITTLE AFTER THE CIVIL WAR IN THE 1880s, AND IT WAS A FORMER BROTHEL.
Biery: IT WAS A BROTHEL FROM THE LATE 1880s TO EARLY 1900s.
[ WOMAN GIGGLES .]
WE ALSO FOUND OU THAT IT WAS SUPPOSEDLY A SATANIC WORSHIPING FACILITY DURING THE 1950s.
IT MADE IT REALLY INTERESTING TO GO THERE BECAUSE YOU KNOW A LOT OF STUFF'S GONNA HAPPEN BECAUSE OF THE TRADE THAT TOOK PLACE THERE.
MYSELF, TONY, AND TWO OTHER TEAM MEMBERS ARRIVED.
WE HAD STARTED TO BRING SOME EQUIPMENT IN.
PRISCILLA, THE OWNER OF THE BUILDING, INTRODUCED HERSELF, AND WE STARTED TALKING ABOU MIRIAM THE MADAM.
Bryant: THE LEGEND BEHIND MIRIAM IS SHE WAS THE MADAM OF THE BROTHEL.
FROM WHAT WE WERE TOLD, THE UPSTAIRS WAS HER WORKING AREA.
AND NOW ALL THE WINDOWS ARE BOARDED UP, WHICH GAVE IT A CREEPY, EERIE FEELING.
WALKING THROUGH THE FRONT DOOR, IT WAS INSTANT ELECTRICITY.
Biery: YOU COULD JUST FEEL THA IT WAS GONNA BE A GOOD NIGHT.
Bryant: I HAD A NERVOUS FEELING, LIKE MAYBE WE SHOULDN'T BE IN THIS PLACE.
THE FIRST THING I DID WAS SET UP DVR CAMERAS, AND ACTIVITY KICKED UP.
Biery: WE IMMEDIATELY HEARD SOME FOOTSTEPS.
IT SOUNDED LIKE A 300-POUND MAN RUNNING UP AND DOWN THE STAIRS.
AT THAT POINT, STARTED TO WALK UPSTAIRS.
Bryant: WE GET TO THE TOP OF THE STEPS AND A BOX IN THE BACK ROOM GOES FLYING.
IT WAS SITTING IN THE CORNER, AND NOW IT'S ACROSS THE ROOM.
THERE WAS NO REASONABLE EXPLANATION FOR IT WHATSOEVER.
Biery: IMMEDIATELY TOOK OU SOME CAMERAS AND JUST STARTED TAKING PICTURES.
OUR FIRST PICTURE TURNED OUT NORMAL.
AS I LOOKED AT THE SECOND AND THIRD PICTURE, I COULD SEE A DISTINCT IMAGE OF A SHADOW FIGURE.
YOU CAN SEE THE OUTLINE OF A HUMAN.
IT WAS CLEARLY A MAN.
IT WAS KIND OF SURREAL BECAUSE IT WAS HAPPENING RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU.
I KNEW SOMETHING WAS THERE, AND YOU COULD FEEL THA IT WASN'T WANTING YOU THERE.
LATER THAT NIGHT, WE WERE UPSTAIRS, AND WE WERE IN THE MIDDLE ROOM.
WE HAD TWO MOTION SENSORS SET IN THE BACK.
AS WE WALKED INTO THE BACK ROOM, SOMETHING WASN'T RIGHT.
AND THEN WE SAW THE MOTION SENSORS GOING OFF.
SO, WE JUST STARTED TAKING SOME PICTURES.
[ CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKING .]
FIRST, WE COULDN'T SEE ANYTHING, BUT UPON REVIEW, YOU COULD SEE A FACE.
IT LOOKED LIKE SOMEONE WAS JUST STANDING RIGHT THERE.
I BELIEVE IT WAS MIRIAM THE MADAM.
YOU COULD SEE, CLEARLY, A HUMAN FIGURE.
SHE'S HOLDING SOMETHING.
I'M NOT SURE WHAT IT IS, BUT YOU CAN CLEARLY SEE I FROM A SILHOUETTE STANDPOIN ON THE SIDE.
Bryant: THERE'S A MAN ON THE LEFT-HAND SIDE, AND THEN THERE'S ANOTHER WOMAN IN THE BACK.
AFTER HEARING THE STORIES AND ALL THE ACTIVITY, THERE'S NO DOUBT IN MY MIND THAT WAS MIRIAM IN THE PICTURE.
Biery: YOU JUST GET, LIKE, A REALLY STRONG INCLINATION THAT THERE'S SOME KIND OF AUTHORITATIVE BEING THERE.
IT WAS MIND-BOGGLING.
Bryant: AFTER SEEING THE PICTURE, I HAD THE DIGITAL RECORDER IN MY HAND, AND I HEARD SOMETHING, BUT I COULDN'T MAKE OU WHAT WAS GOING ON.
WHEN I LISTEN CLOSER, I GOT AN EVP.
Biery: YOU HEAR THE OVILUS SAY "GET OUT.
" ONLY A MADAM WOULD HAVE THAT AUTHORITATIVE KIND OF FEELING, ALMOST KIND OF LIKE A PRINCIPAL.
Bryant: WHEN I HEARD THAT EVP MY JAW HIT THE FLOOR.
WE SET UP DVR CAMERAS IN A FEW OF THE DIFFERENT ROOMS AND JUST LET THEM ROLL.
Biery: UP THE STAIRS, THERE'S THE ROOM OFF TO THE RIGHT.
WE HAD SET A CAMERA UP, AND YOU SEE THIS REALLY BAD ENERGY.
Bryant: IT LOOKED LIKE SOMEBODY CAME IN AND OUT OF THE DOORWAY.
Biery: YOU CAN SEE AN IMAGE KIND OF CREEPING IN AND OUT OF THE DOOR.
Bryant: WHEN WE SEE THE ACTUAL SHADOW PASS, WE'RE LIKE, "THAT SHOULDN'T HAVE HAPPENED.
" Biery: IT'S DEFINITELY SOMETHING WHICH WE BELIEVE TO BE MIRIAM.
Bryant: IT PUTS A LITTLE BIT OF FEAR INTO YOU.
Biery: THE LAST HOUR THAT WE WERE THERE, I COULD FEEL SOMETHING KIND OF PASS THROUGH ME.
AS I FELT THAT, I FELT TWO HANDS GRAB MY SHOULDER AND PUSH ME.
AS IT PUSHED ME, I FEL A BURNING SENSATION ON MY SIDE.
Bryant: ALL OF A SUDDEN, HE SAYS, "MY SIDE'S BURNING.
" SO HE LIFTS UP HIS SHIRT.
WE DEFINITELY KNEW AT THAT POIN WE SHOULDN'T BE THERE.
THERE'S SOMETHING EVIL IN THIS BUILDING.
Biery: AFTER EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENED THAT NIGHT -- THE BOXES FLYING, BEING PUSHED, THE PICTURES THAT WE HAD CAPTURED THE EVPs THAT WE HAD CAPTURED GET OUT.
THERE IS DEFINITELY SOMETHING EVIL, DEFINITELY SOMETHING SINISTER.
Bryant: KNOWING THA THERE'S SOMETHING OUT THERE THAT CAN DO HARM, YOU CAN'T TAKE IT LIGHTLY.
Biery: I WILL SAY THAT THE BUILDING IS DEFINITELY DESECRATED TO THE DEVIL.
IT'S SOMETHING THAT CURRENTLY HAS EVIL ATTACHED TO I TILL IT'S CLEANSED.
I WOULD ADVISE ANYBODY LOOKING FOR DEMONS TO BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL 'CAUSE YOU MIGHT JUST FIND WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING FOR.
U.
V.
THERE WAS A MAN THERE.
I WAS HORRIFIED.
AS I DRIVE AWAY THAT NIGHT, I KNEW HE WAS FOLLOWING ME HOME.
Schwedt: THE MIST IS HOVERING ABOVE HER DAUGHTER, AND THEN IT'S GONE.
Jasmund: THERE WAS SOMETHING FLOATING RIGHT ABOVE AMBER'S HEAD.
Schwedt: IT WAS THE MOST FRIGHTENING THING I'VE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE.
Biery: I COULD SEE A DISTINC IMAGE OF A SHADOW FIGURE.
AND IT WAS CLEARLY A MAN.
IT WAS KIND OF SURREAL BECAUSE IT WAS HAPPENING RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME.
Bryant: MY JAW HIT THE FLOOR.
THERE'S SOMETHING EVIL IN THIS BUILDING.
Musgrove: BY THE TIME I GO TO THE BOTTOM OF THE STAIRS -- BOOM -- THERE WAS A PICTURE OF A WOMAN.
AND IT LOOKS LIKE SHE'S LEANING UP AGAINST THE DOOR.
IT JUST SENT CHILLS ALL THROUGH MY SPINE.
Doe: TWO METAL SHELVES CAME FLYING ACROSS THE ROOM.
A LARGE PIECE OF PLASTIC RIPPED OFF THE DOOR.
Chilton: THERE APPEARED TO BE A SHADOW FIGURE OF A MAN RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME.
Doe: YOU DON'T SEE EYES OR FEATURES.
WE WERE PETRIFIED.
Grimes: WE FELT SOMEONE FOLLOWING US.
Eastridge: SOMETHING DOESN'T WANT YOU TO BE THERE.
Grimes: THE SPIRITS KNOW YOU'RE THERE.
THEY'RE LAYING THERE WAITING FOR YOU.
MY GHOST STORY BEGAN WHEN I VISITED "TOM" SAWYER STATE PARK IN LOUISVILLE, KENTUCKY.
"TOM" SAWYER STATE PARK IS BUILT ON THE GROUNDS OF WHAT USED TO BE LAKELAND LUNATIC ASYLUM.
LAKELAND LUNATIC ASYLUM WAS BUILT IN 1864.
AND IN 1986, IT WAS TORN DOWN.
THERE'S AN NATURAL CAVE LOCATED ON THE GROUNDS.
WHEN THE MENTAL INSTITUTION CAME ALONG, THEY USED THE CAVE TO STORE DEAD BODIES UNTIL THEY COULD BE BURIED IN THE GRAVEYARD ON THE PROPERTY.
JAMES FOLEY WAS COMMITTED TO LAKELAND INSANE ASYLUM AT AGE 20 BY HIS FAMILY FOR NOT BEING ABLE TO KEEP HIS HANDS TO HIMSELF.
THIS IS A PROBLEM BECAUSE THERE WERE MANY CHILDREN HOUSED AT THE INSANE ASYLUM.
[ CHILDREN SHOUTING INDISTINCTLY .]
IT IS KNOWN THAT HE LURED A 9-YEAR-OLD BOY INTO THE CAVE AND THAT HE MOLESTED AND THEN LATER MURDERED THIS BOY.
I MET KARA THROUGH FACEBOOK.
I SAW A COMMENT SHE MADE ABOUT A HAUNTED LOCATION, AND I THOUGHT, "I LIKE THIS GIRL.
" YOU KNOW, "I THINK I'D LIKE TO KNOW HER.
" Eastridge: WE'D GOT TO TALKING AND DECIDED THAT WE'D LIKE TO INVESTIGATE TOGETHER.
SO TERRI INVITED ME TO "TOM" SAWYER PARK.
Grimes: THERE ARE SEVERAL DIFFERENT AREAS TO THE PARK.
THERE'S THE GRAVEYARD.
THERE'S THE CAVE.
AS KARA AND I ARE WALKING THROUGH THE FIELD FROM THE PARKING LO TOWARDS THE CAVE AREA I LOOKED UP FOR SOME REASON, AND I SEE THIS CHUNK OF BRICK FLYING OUT OF THE AIR.
AND IT LANDED ABOUT AN INCH FROM MY FOOT.
Eastridge: IT REALLY SCARED US 'CAUSE WE HAD NO IDEA WHERE THE BRICK CAME FROM.
THERE WAS NOBODY ELSE AROUND.
Grimes: WE HAD OUR RECORDERS GOING AT THE TIME, AND JUST BEFORE THAT BRICK FLEW OUT OF THE SKY, I CAUGHT AN EVP ON MY RECORDER THAT SAID "GET OUT.
" I BELIEVE THAT WAS JAMES FOLEY'S VOICE.
Eastridge: WE THOUGHT IT WAS A WARNING IN THAT SOMEBODY DIDN'T WANT US TO GO INTO THAT CAVE.
Grimes: IT'S A LITTLE SCARY TO KNOW THAT THE SPIRITS KNOW YOU'RE THERE AND THAT THEY'RE LAYING THERE WAITING FOR YOU.
AS WE WALKED IN THAT CAVE, THERE'S SUCH AN OMINOUS PRESENCE.
IT'S A HEAVY FEELING, AND YOU INSTANTLY KNOW YOU'RE NOT ALONE.
Eastridge: YOU DEFINITELY GET THE SENSE OF SOMETHING DOESN'T WANT YOU TO BE THERE.
Grimes: TO THE RIGHT SIDE IS THIS LITTLE NOOK, AND I JUST HAPPENED TO GLANCE OVER AT IT.
AND SHE AND I SAW JUST A BRIEF GLIMPSE OF A FACE, A MAN'S FACE.
I GRABBED MY CAMERA AND WENT TO TAKE A PICTURE, AND THE FACE WAS GONE IN A FLASH.
BUT AS I TOOK THAT PICTURE I HAD CAUGHT A MIST, ALMOST LIKE A THICK FOG.
Eastridge: I WAS SURPRISED.
WHERE DID THAT COME FROM? BECAUSE IT WASN'T FOGGY OUT.
Grimes: I KNEW IN AN INSTANCE THAT WAS THE SPIRIT OF JAMES FOLEY.
THAT SCARED THE HELL OUT OF ME.
THEN LATER ON, KARA AND I DECIDED TO DO A DOWSING-ROD SESSION WHILE WE WERE IN THE CAVE.
WE'RE INSTRUCTING THE SPIRITS ON HOW TO USE THE DOWSING ROD.
WE SAY, "PLEASE CROSS OUR RODS FOR A SIGN OF YES OR UNCROSS FOR A SIGN OF NO.
" WE CAUGHT AN EVP AT THAT MOMEN OF A VOICE SAYING "CROSS.
" LIKE A SPIRI WAS TRYING TO CLARIFY, "YOU WANT ME TO CROSS AS A SIGN OF YES.
" CLEARLY, THEY WERE INTELLIGENT SPIRITS, AND THEY WERE LISTENING TO WHAT WE WERE SAYING TO THEM.
AS WE WALKED OUT OF THE CAVE THAT NIGHT, WE FELT SOMEONE FOLLOWING US.
WE WALKED ACROSS THE FIELD TO THE GRAVEYARD LOCATED ON THE PROPERTY.
Eastridge: THAT'S WHERE WE STARTED USING OUR GHOST BOX.
Grimes: AS WE BEGAN DOING A GHOST-BOX SESSION, I FELT A HAND CARESSING THE RIGHT SIDE OF MY LEG.
Eastridge: I SAID, "IF YOU'RE GONNA TOUCH TERRI, YOU NEED TO GIVE US YOUR NAME.
" WHEN WE HEARD THE NAME "STEVEN" ON THE GHOST BOX, WE WERE SHOCKED.
Grimes: THAT GAVE ME THE HEEBIE-JEEBIES.
WE DON'T KNOW WHO STEVEN WAS.
WE BELIEVE THAT HE WAS ONE OF THE INMATES AT CENTRAL STATE LUNATIC ASYLUM AND THAT HE'S BURIED THERE IN THAT GRAVEYARD.
AS WE STOOD IN THE GRAVEYARD, I FELT LIKE SOMEONE WAS WATCHING US.
IT WAS JUS AN OVERPOWERING FEELING, AND I STARTED TAKING PICTURES.
[ CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKING .]
IN THE PICTURES, YOU CAN CLEARLY SEE THE SHAPE OF A MAN STANDING THERE BEHIND A TREE, WATCHING ME.
WHEN I SAW THAT PHOTO FOR THE FIRST TIME OF THAT PERSON WATCHING US, IT SHOOK ME TO THE CORE.
YOU COULD SEE A PERSON, ALL IN BLACK -- BLACK HAT, BLACK SUIT -- PEERING OUT FROM BEHIND A TREE, LOOKING AT US.
I THINK THAT WAS THE SPIRIT OF JAMES FOLEY, AND I THINK HE WAS FOLLOWING US AROUND THAT NIGHT.
AND HE JUST WANTED US TO KNOW THAT HE WAS THERE.
AFTER EVERYTHING WE HAD BEEN THROUGH, KARA AND I DECIDED IT WAS TIME TO CALL IT A NIGHT AND LEAVE.
AS WE WALKED TOWARDS OUR CAR THAT NIGHT IN THE PARKING LOT, I SAW A BRIEF FLASH BEHIND THE WHEEL OF MY S.
U.
V.
IT ALMOST LOOKED LIKE A MAN SITTING THERE, LIKE A MAN'S FACE.
Eastridge: SO SHE QUICKLY GRABS HER CAMERA, AND SHE SNAPS A PHOTO.
Grimes: THERE WAS A MAN SITTING BEHIND THE WHEEL OF MY S.
U.
V.
, MY EMPTY S.
U.
V.
THERE WAS A MAN THERE.
I WAS HORRIFIED.
Eastridge: IT WAS A VERY SCARY, OMINOUS FEELING.
WHAT IS HE DOING? HOW DO WE GET HIM OUT? IS HE GONNA GO HOME WITH HER? Grimes: AS I DRIVE AWAY THAT NIGHT, I KNEW SOMEBODY WAS THERE WITH ME.
I KNEW IT WAS THE SPIRIT OF JAMES FOLEY, AND I KNEW HE WAS FOLLOWING ME HOME.
WHEN I GOT HOME THAT NIGHT, AS I GOT OUT OF MY S.
U.
V.
AND WALKED INTO MY HOUSE, THAT FEELING OF SOMEONE BEING WITH ME -- IT DIDN'T LEAVE.
THE NEXT DAY, I'M HOME ALONE, AND I START HEARING FOOTSTEPS IN MY SECOND FLOOR.
[ TAPPING .]
BUT I'M THE ONLY ONE THERE.
THERE'S NO ONE ELSE AT HOME.
SO, I STAR RANDOMLY TAKING PICTURES.
THERE'S A CHINA CUPBOARD IN MY LIVING ROOM, AND AS I TOOK PICTURES OF THAT CHINA CUPBOARD, IN THE DOOR OF THE CHINA CUPBOARD, YOU SEE THE FACE OF A MAN.
IT'S THE SAME MAN THAT WAS BEHIND THE WHEEL OF MY S.
U.
V.
THAT NIGHT BEFORE.
IT WAS THE SPIRI OF JAMES FOLEY.
HE WAS IN MY LIVING ROOM.
IT WAS THE SCARIEST THING I'VE EVER SEEN.
Eastridge: INVESTIGATING "TOM" SAWYER PARK LEFT ME FEELING SAD FOR A LOT OF THOSE PEOPLE IN THE CEMETERY AND AFRAID OF THAT CAVE, BECAUSE IT'S A NEGATIVE ENTITY IN THERE.
Grimes: FOR WHATEVER REASON, I THINK JAMES FOLEY WANTS ME TO JOIN HIS LITTLE GROUP OF COLLECTED SOULS IN THAT CAVE.
THIS EXPERIENCE HAS TAUGHT ME THAT THE SPIRIT OF JAMES FOLEY WAS NOTHING TO BE TRIFLED WITH.
Schwedt: THERE'S BEEN MULTIPLE CHILD KILLINGS BACK IN THE WOODS.
IT LOOKS LIKE A HAND'S RIGHT BY HER FACE.
Jasmund: THEY'RE BREATHING ON MY NECK.
Schwedt: WE SAW SOMETHING MOVE TOWARDS AMBER.
IT WAS THE MOST FRIGHTENING THING I'VE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE.
Jasmund: SOMETHING IS WITH HER IN HER ROOM.
Schwedt: THERE'S BEEN MULTIPLE CHILD KILLINGS BACK IN THE WOODS.
WE SAW SOMETHING MOVE.
Jasmund: SOMETHING IS WITH HER IN HER ROOM.
MY GHOST STORY BEGAN WHEN I MOVED IN TO A HAUNTED HOME IN WESTLAND, MICHIGAN.
WHEN I FIRST MOVED IN TO MY HOUSE, IT WAS PROBABLY LIKE TWO WEEKS LATER THAT I NOTICED ODD, STRANGE THINGS HAPPENING.
YOU WOULD HEAR UNUSUAL SOUNDS.
I'D BE IN THE KITCHEN SOMETIMES, AND YOU WOULD SEE A SHADOW GO BY.
YOU'D FEEL COLD DRAFTS, DENSE AIR.
YOU'LL WALK, AND THERE'S NO WALL OR ANYTHING, BUT YOU FEEL LIKE YOU RAN INTO SOMETHING.
THEN OTHER THINGS STARTED OCCURRING, LIKE DOORS OPENING AND SHUTTING, LIGHTS GOING ON AND OFF WHEN THERE'S NOBODY BACK THERE TO TURN ON THE LIGHT.
I'D GO BACK THERE, FLIP THE SWITCH OFF.
I WOULDN'T MAKE A BIG FUSS ABOUT IT, BUT IT'S KIND OF HARD TO EXPLAIN TO CHILDREN AND TO MY SPOUSE WHAT WE WERE HEARING AND SEEING.
WELL, I MET LISA.
SHE MOVED IN TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
Schwedt: FLORAL STREET LOOKS LIKE A COMMON NEIGHBORHOOD.
WE'RE BACKED UP TO, LIKE, A NATURE PRESERVE.
INDIAN TRIBES USED TO LIVE THERE.
I WOULD SIT ON MY PORCH EVERY DAY, AND KRISTY EVENTUALLY WALKED OVER AND STARTED TALKING TO ME.
AND SHE KEP LOOKING AT HER HOUSE.
Jasmund: I WAS LOOKING AT MY HOUSE ACROSS THE STREET DIAGONAL, AND I COULD SEE A SHADOW IN THE WINDOW.
AND SHE ASKED ME, "WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT?" AND SO I EXPLAINED TO HER.
I WAS LIKE, "THERE'S A MAN STANDING IN MY WINDOW.
" SHE'S LIKE, "IS ANYBODY HOME?" I SAID, "NO.
" Schwedt: SHE GOES, "YOU'RE GONNA THINK I'M CRAZY.
" I WAS LIKE, "I DON'T THINK YOU'RE CRAZY.
I'M ACTUALLY A PARANORMAL INVESTIGATOR.
" Jasmund: AND I ASKED HER IF SHE'D LIKE TO INVESTIGATE MY HOUSE.
Schwedt: KRISTY'S HAD SOME PRETTY AMAZING EXPERIENCES IN HER HOUSE.
HER 3-YEAR-OLD DAUGHTER, AMBER, WAS TALKING TO SOMETHING THAT WASN'T THERE.
KRISTY WROTE IT OFF AS HER HAVING AN IMAGINARY FRIEND, BUT IT JUST KEP ESCALATING AND ESCALATING TO WHERE SOMETHING HAD ACTUALLY GRABBED HER.
SHE HEARS AUDIBLE VOICES AND SCREAMING WHERE SHE WOULD ACTUALLY HAVE NIGHT TERRORS.
I MEAN, SHE WAS PRETTY FRIGHTENED TO BE IN HER OWN ROOM.
Jasmund: THERE'S MULTIPLE TIMES THAT SHE WAKES UP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGH WHERE SHE SCREAMS.
BUT WHEN SHE GOES TO HER GRANDMA'S HOUSE, SHE DOESN'T FREQUENTLY WAKE UP.
AT HER AUNT'S HOUSE, SHE DOESN'T FREQUENTLY WAKE UP.
IT'S ONLY AT MY HOUSE.
Schwedt: SOME OF THE STUFF THAT SHE SAYS IT TELLS HER ISN'T THE KIND OF STUFF YOU WAN YOUR DAUGHTER TO BE TOLD.
SO, KRISTY DECIDED THAT IT WAS TIME TO SEE WHAT WAS IN HER HOUSE.
WHEN WE FIRST WALKED INTO THE HOUSE, WE STARTED SETTING UP EQUIPMENT, AND WITHIN FIVE MINUTES OF BEING THERE, ONE OF MY INVESTIGATORS STARTED FEELING SICK.
I MEAN, LIME GREEN -- SHE WAS PHYSICALLY SICK.
AND WHEN SHE WALKED OUT OF THE HOUSE, SHE WAS COMPLETELY FINE.
AS SOON AS SHE WALKED BACK IN, SHE STARTED TURNING GREEN AGAIN.
IT WAS AWFUL.
A LITTLE WHILE LATER, AS WE WERE SETTING UP THE CAMERA IN THE HALLWAY, WE WERE LOOKING STRAIGHT DOWN THE HALL INTO AMBER'S ROOM, AND WE SAW SOMETHING MOVE FROM THE CLOSET TOWARDS HER BED.
THE WHOLE TIME, WE HAD MULTIPLE RECORDERS GOING.
Jasmund: WE WERE TALKING TO THE SPIRITS, ASKING, "WHO ARE YOU? SHOW YOUR FACE.
" Schwedt: WE WERE ASKING WHAT WAS MOVING IN THE CLOSET.
WHEN WE REVIEWED, WE FOUND AN EVP THAT SOUNDED LIKE A SCARY MALE WHISPERING.
IT SAID, "IT'S A MONSTER.
" I WAS TAKEN ABACK.
IT SCARED ME BECAUSE THERE'S A 3 YEAR OLD INVOLVED, AND BECAUSE SHE'S BEEN TALKING TO SOMETHING IN HER CLOSET, WE WERE SO FRIGHTENED FOR HER.
I MEAN, OBVIOUSLY, THERE'S SOMETHING THERE THAT'S A LITTLE DARKER THAN WE THOUGHT.
Jasmund: WHEN IT SAID IT WAS A MONSTER, IT DID FRIGHTEN ME.
IT FRIGHTENED ME FOR MY DAUGHTER'S SAKE.
CAN SHE SEE THIS? DOES SHE KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON? IS SHE AWARE OF WHO SHE'S TALKING TO? AT FIRST, I THOUGH SHE WAS JUST MAKE-BELIEVING PEOPLE WERE THERE WITH HER, AND NOW IT'S COMING TO MORE THE REALITY OF SOMETHING IS WITH HER IN HER ROOM.
Schwedt: I HONESTLY BELIEVE THAT KRISTY IS A SENSITIVE.
I JUST DON'T THINK SHE KNOWS HOW TO USE IT YET.
Jasmund: I FEEL THE SPIRITS' PRESENCE.
I FEEL THEM WHEN THEY'RE STANDING AROUND.
I FEEL THEM WHEN THEY PASS BY.
I JUST KNOW THAT THEY'RE THERE.
Schwedt: SHE, LIKE, CAN TELL ME, YOU KNOW, "TAKE A PICTURE, BECAUSE I FEEL SOMETHING HERE," AND THERE'S ACTUALLY SOMETHING IN THE PICTURE.
LIKE, WHEN WE WERE SITTING IN THE ROOM, SHE GOES, "TAKE A PICTURE OF ME REAL FAST.
SOMETHING'S TOUCHING MY FACE.
" Jasmund: I FELT THE COLD, DENSE AIR.
I SAYS, "WHATEVER IT IS, IS HERE IN THE ROOM.
IT'S STANDING RIGHT NEXT TO ME.
" Schwedt: IN THE PICTURE, THERE'S A WHITE MIS RIGHT BY HER FACE.
IT LOOKS LIKE A HAND.
I WAS BLOWN AWAY.
KNOWING THAT SOMETHING WAS THERE THAT WAS A MONSTER OR WHATEVER THAT COULD FOLLOW ME AND TOUCH ME AND OBVIOUSLY GRAB PEOPLE -- IT WAS FRIGHTENING.
BUT I WAS ALSO INTRIGUED AT THE SAME TIME, BECAUSE IT'S WHA I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR ALL ALONG.
THE PROOF THAT I'VE ALWAYS WANTED, WE WERE ACTUALLY ABLE TO FIND IN THAT HOUSE.
Jasmund: MY DAUGHTER WAS ASLEEP THROUGH THE WHOLE INVESTIGATION.
I WAS CHECKING ON HER, BECAUSE I FELT A COLD, DENSE AIR COMING FROM HER ROOM.
Schwedt: SHE GOES, "COME HERE.
COME TAKE A PICTURE OF AMBER.
" SHE GOES, "SOMETHING'S HERE.
" Jasmund: IT WAS KIND OF LIKE THEY WERE BREATHING ON MY NECK.
Schwedt: WALKED INTO THE ROOM, SNAPPED A PICTURE, AND WHAT WE CAPTURED REALLY SHOCKED ME.
Jasmund: THERE WAS ODD, STRANGE MIS FLOATING RIGHT ABOVE AMBER'S HEAD.
Schwedt: THE MIST IS HOVERING ABOVE HER DAUGHTER, AND THEN IT'S GONE.
Jasmund: THAT DID FRIGHTEN ME, BECAUSE THAT IS THE PLACE WHERE SHE DOES DWELL AND SHE DOES SLEEP, AND I HAVE NO WAY OF KNOWING WHOSE SPIRIT IT IS, WHY THEY'RE THERE, OR WHAT THEIR PURPOSE IS.
Schwedt: WE DID A LOT OF RESEARCH ON THE SURROUNDING AREA, AND WE WERE ABLE TO FIND THAT THE WOODS THAT ARE ABOUT 25 TO 50 FEE AWAY FROM HER HOUSE -- THERE'S BEEN MULTIPLE CHILD KILLINGS BACK IN THE '80s.
Jasmund: BACK IN THE DAY, IN THE HINES PARK WOODS, SOME KIDS DID GO MISSING.
SOME KIDS WERE MURDERED BACK THERE.
Schwedt: WE WEREN'T ABLE TO SAY 100% WHO OR WHAT WAS THERE, BUT THERE IS DEFINITELY SOME DARK HISTORY THAT GOES ALONG WITH THE LAND.
I BELIEVE THE SPIRIT IN THE MIS COULD BE ONE OF THE CHILD KILLERS.
AND THAT IT'S TRYING TO MAKE CONTACT WITH AMBER, WHICH IS EVEN SCARIER.
Jasmund: WHILE LISA AND HER TEAM WERE INVESTIGATING THE HOUSE, THEY CAPTURED AN IMAGE CREEPING AROUND THE WALL IN AMBER'S ROOM.
I DIDN'T REALIZE AT THE TIME WHAT I HAD CAPTURED.
WHEN WE GO BACK TO REVIEW IT, WE'RE ALL SITTING THERE STARING AT THE SCREEN, AND THERE'S A FACE THAT POPS OUT.
Schwedt: IT WAS THE MOST FRIGHTENING THING I'VE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE.
I PAN AROUND THE CORNER, AND UP IN THE RIGHT-HAND CORNER OF THE SCREEN, YOU SEE A FACE POP AROUND THE CORNER AND GO BACK IN.
Jasmund: IF YOU SLOW IT DOWN, IT IS VERY DISTINCT.
Schwedt: YOU CAN TELL IT'S A MALE FACE.
I'M NOT SURE IF IT'S ONE OF THE VICTIMS OF THE CHILD KILLER OR IF IT WAS ONE OF THE CHILD KILLERS, BUT IT'S DEFINITELY THERE IN AMBER'S ROOM, AND IT WANTS TO BE KNOWN.
I WORRY ABOUT AMBER BECAUSE SHE'S SO YOUNG.
I DON'T THINK THAT SHE'S IN ANY DANGER, BUT I ALSO DON'T WANT TO BE WRONG AND FIND OUT LATER THAT SHE IS.
Jasmund: LISA'S INVESTIGATION GAVE ME GREAT VALIDATION ON EVERYTHING THAT WE'VE BEEN THROUGH IN OUR FAMILY IN THAT HOUSE.
THEY REVIEWED A LOT OF EVIDENCE WITH ME -- ALL THE ENTITIES, ORBS, VOICES RESPONDING.
AFTER I HAD CONFIRMATION OF PARANORMAL ACTIVITY, PEOPLE ACTUALLY BELIEVED WHAT WE WERE HEARING AND WHAT WE WERE SEEING.
THERE'S A RELIEF OF KNOWING I'M NOT GOING INSANE, A RELIEF OF I DON'T HAVE TO MAKE EXCUSES OF WHY THIS IS HAPPENING, BECAUSE WE HAVE AN EXPLANATION.
Schwedt: I DON'T THINK WE WERE PREPARED FOR WHAT WE WALKED INTO.
ONCE I REVIEWED ALL THIS EVIDENCE AND FOUND OU WHAT WAS ACTUALLY THERE, I WAS SCARED TO DEATH.
IT'S JUST LIKE ANY NORMAL HOUSE, AND THEN THERE'S ALL OF THIS DARK ENERGY IN I THAT IS PROBABLY RELATED TO THE CHILD KILLINGS.
WHATEVER IT IS, IT'S MALEVOLENT, ANGRY, AND WANTS TO BE HEARD.
Doe: I'M FASCINATED BEING IN THIS PLACE, BUT I'M PETRIFIED.
I'VE SEEN WHAT THE SPIRITS HERE ARE CAPABLE OF.
Chilton: I KNOW WITHOUT A DOUB THE SPIRIT OF JOHN IS STILL THERE.
HE TOUCHES WOMEN.
Doe: SOMETHING HAD THEIR HANDS ON HER.
IT WAS BLOODCURDLING.
Chilton: THE SPIRIT OF JOHN IS STILL THERE.
HE TOUCHES WOMEN.
Doe: SOMETHING HAD THEIR HANDS ON HER.
IT WAS BLOODCURDLING.
MY GHOST STORY BEGAN WHEN I STEPPED INSIDE A BUILDING IN KAMPSVILLE, ILLINOIS.
IT'S A VERY HISTORIC AREA AND A VERY HAUNTED AREA.
THERE ARE SO MANY SPIRITS IN THIS ONE PLACE, AND THEY'RE SO ACTIVE.
IN 2008, IT WAS A CAFé AND SECONDHAND SHOP.
I WOULD GO THERE A FEW DAYS A WEEK AND BAKE THEIR PIES.
STRANGE THINGS HAPPENED THERE WHILE WE WERE AT WORK -- THINGS THAT WERE PRETTY CREEPY.
WE WOULD BE IN THE BACK WORKING, AND YOU WOULD HEAR SOMEONE KNOCKING FROM INSIDE A CLOSET.
YOU'D GO TO THE CLOSET, AND THERE'S NO ONE IN THERE.
ONE DAY, ALL THE BELLS AND WHISTLES WENT OFF ON THIS TOY AS I WALKED PAST IT, AND I TURNED, AND I SAID, "DOES THAT THING HAVE A MOTION SENSOR ON IT?" AND THE OWNER SAID, "NO.
THAT DOESN'T HAVE ANY BATTERIES IN IT.
" SO, I HAD TO GO CHECK FOR MYSELF, AND THERE WERE NO BATTERIES IN THE TOY.
THINGS LIKE THIS HAPPENED ALL THE TIME.
SO, WE THOUGH THIS PLACE WAS HAUNTED.
THAT'S WHERE WE BEGAN REALLY CHECKING INTO THIS PLACE AND FINDING OU THE REALLY STRANGE THINGS THAT WERE GOING ON THERE.
WE STARTED DOING INVESTIGATION TOURS THERE, AND MY FRIEND JEANNE CAME BACK OFTEN.
Chilton: I'M ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE THAT, YOU KNOW, I LISTEN TO OTHER PEOPLE, BUT I HAVE TO SEE I FOR MYSELF.
THERE WERE SO MANY REPORTS OF ACTIVITY THAT HAPPENS THERE, SO I WANTED TO GET DOWN TO WHAT THE TRUTH IS.
WE FOUND THROUGH RESEARCH THAT IT WAS BUILT ON INDIAN LAND ON A FOUNDATION OF LIMESTONE, WHICH IS SAID TO FUEL PARANORMAL ACTIVITY.
Doe: WE CHECKED COUNTY RECORDS AND FOUND OUT THAT IT HAD BEEN A FUNERAL HOME IN 1905.
Chilton: THE ORIGINAL COOLER IS STILL THERE, AND THAT'S WHERE THEY USED TO LAY OUT THE BODIES.
Doe: IT WAS SOLD IN 1920, RAN AS A GENERAL STORE UNTIL IT WAS BOUGHT IN 2006 BY THE LADY THAT TURNED IT INTO THE CAFé AND SECONDHAND SHOP, WHICH CLOSED A FEW YEARS AGO.
WE SPOKE TO A COUNTY HISTORIAN WHO TOLD US THERE WAS A LOT OF TRAGEDY WITH EVERYONE WHO'S EVER OWNED IT.
WHEN IT WAS A FUNERAL HOME, THE OWNER'S BROTHER WAS A COUNTY CONSTABLE.
HE TRIED TO BREAK UP A FIGH IN TOWN AND WAS STABBED AND CARRIED INTO THE BACK ROOM OF THE PLACE, WHERE HE DIED.
THE NEXT OWNER WAS A VERY NASTY MAN NAMED JOHN.
Chilton: JOHN HURT CHILDREN.
WE HAVE RECORDS TO SUPPORT THAT.
HE RAPED A 14-YEAR-OLD CHILD WHO WAS MENTALLY HANDICAPPED.
THERE'S PROOF OF THAT BECAUSE SHE WAS ACTUALLY PREGNANT.
IT IS SAID THAT THE SPIRIT OF JOHN IS STILL THERE IN THE BUILDING.
Doe: SOME OF THE OTHER OWNERS HAVE LOST CHILDREN IN CAR ACCIDENTS.
THEY'VE HAD CHILDREN MURDERED.
Chilton: RITA BELIEVES THE PLACE HAS A NEGATIVE CURSE ON IT, BUT I FEEL VERY DRAWN TO THE PLACE, AND SO I PURCHASED THE BUILDING.
I'VE BEEN DOING RENOVATIONS ON THE BUILDING MYSELF.
THERE ARE TIMES WHEN I'M WORKING IN THE BUILDING THAT I FEEL FRIGHTENED, WHEN I HEAR OBJECTS MOVING AND I KNOW THAT THERE'S NO ONE IN THE BUILDING.
SHORTLY AFTER I BOUGHT THE PLACE, I WAS IN THE BACK ROOM ON THE TOP OF THE LADDER WHEN I HEARD, RIGHT BEHIND ME, SOMEONE START WHISTLING A TUNE.
IT STARTLED ME SO BAD, I ALMOST FELL OFF THE LADDER.
WHEN I DID GET DOWN TO SEE, THERE WAS NO ONE THERE.
THE FIRST THOUGHT IN MY MIND WAS THE SPIRIT OF JOHN.
JOHN SEEMS TO BE THIS PREDOMINATE NEGATIVE SPIRI THAT TOUCHES WOMEN.
Doe: I USUALLY DON'T LE ANYONE IN THERE WHO'S UNDER 16, BECAUSE HE'S JUS SO NASTY PHYSICALLY, VERBALLY.
WHEN US GIRLS WALK IN A ROOM, WE'LL HEAR EVPs THAT SAY, "HI, SLUT.
HI, WHORE.
" Chilton: THERE ARE THOSE OCCASIONS WHEN I FEEL THAT THE SPIRI OF JOHN IS PRESEN THAT I DO FEEL VERY AFRAID TO BE IN THE BUILDING BY MYSELF.
I WAS TAKING SOME PHOTOS FOR THE INSURANCE COMPANY.
THERE WAS NO ONE ELSE IN THE BUILDING WHEN THIS TOOK PLACE, AND WHEN I LOOKED AT THE PHOTO, THERE APPEARED TO BE A SHADOW FIGURE OF A MAN RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME.
Doe: IT'S A VERY CREEPY PICTURE.
YOU DON'T SEE EYES OR FEATURES.
BUT IT'S VERY OBVIOUSLY A SHADOW OF A MAN, WHICH WE BELIEVE TO EITHER BE JOHN OR PERHAPS CHARLIE, THE CONSTABLE THAT WAS STABBED AND CARRIED BACK TO THA BACK ROOM, WHERE HE DIED.
IT GIVES YOU THE CREEPS.
IT MAKES YOU FEEL WATCHED.
Chilton: AT THAT POINT, I DID GET A LITTLE FREAKED OUT, SO I HAD TO STEP OUTSIDE THE BUILDING.
I WENT AHEAD AND LOCKED THE DOORS AND LEFT FOR THE DAY.
Doe: ONE DAY, WE'RE SEEING WHAT LOOKED LIKE LITTLE SHADOWS DARTING AROUND.
I SNAPPED THIS PICTURE, AND THERE APPEARS TO BE A LITTLE SHADOW CHILD.
YOU CAN SEE THE SILHOUETTE.
WE DON'T HAVE ANY RECORD OF WHO LOST A LITTLE GIRL ON THIS PROPERTY, SO WE CALL HER EMMA, AND SHE SEEMS TO RESPOND TO IT.
Chilton: I WAS SITTING AT THE DINING ROOM TABLE AND I HAD ASKED THE SPIRIT OF EMMA TO COME SIT DOWN NEXT TO ME.
ALMOST IMMEDIATELY, I HEARD HER AUDIBLY SAY OUT LOUD, "MAMA," RIGHT NEXT TO ME.
AND I TURNED TO MY LEFT, AND THERE WAS NOTHING THERE.
Doe: JEANNE JUST FREAKED OUT.
WE ALL DID.
WE ALL SAID, "DID YOU HEAR THAT?" AND IMMEDIATELY PLAYED BACK THE RECORDERS -- "DID WE HEAR WHAT WE THOUGHT WE HEARD?" YES, WE DID.
IT'S A CHILD SAYING, "MAMA.
" Chilton: I WAS FRIGHTENED BECAUSE I WASN'T EXPECTING TO HEAR IT OUT LOUD, AND I WASN'T EXPECTING I TO HAPPEN RIGHT NEXT TO ME.
Doe: THAT RECORDING UNNERVES ME AND GIVES ME THE CHILLS NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES I LISTEN TO IT.
TO THINK THAT THIS LITTLE SPIRI OF THIS CHILD IS TRAPPED WITH THE SPIRIT OF JOHN, IT'S HEARTBREAKING.
YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT HE'S GOING TO DO.
ONE NIGHT, MY DAUGHTER SET HER PURSE DOWN ON A TABLE.
IT WAS A VERY EXPENSIVE BAG.
WE SAW THE HANDLE OF THE PURSE RAISE UP AND FALL BACK DOWN.
IT HAD BEEN CUT CLEAN, AS IF IT HAD BEEN CU WITH A PAIR OF SCISSORS.
MY DAUGHTER SAID, "THANKS, YOU [BLEEP.]
BARBARIANS.
" AND AT THAT MOMENT, THINGS HAD CHANGED.
THE MOOD WAS ANGRY.
A LARGE PIECE OF PLASTIC RIPPED OFF THE DOOR.
TWO METAL SHELVES CAME FLYING OFF THE WALL ACROSS THE ROOM.
WE WERE PETRIFIED.
WE COULDN'T GET TO THE DOOR FAST ENOUGH, AND AS WE ROUNDED THE CORNER AND WENT OUT THE FRONT DOOR, A BOOKSHELF FLEW OUT THE DOOR BEHIND US.
IT WAS TERRIFYING.
TO REALIZE THAT A SPIRI CAN ACTUALLY PICK UP A PIECE OF FURNITURE AND HURL IT AT YOU IS JUST BLOODCURDLING.
IT WAS PROBABLY ABOUT A MONTH AND A HALF BEFORE I WAS ABLE TO SET FOOT BACK IN THE PLACE.
I WAS SO AFRAID.
Chilton: I BELIEVE THAT THE SPIRI OF JOHN IS THERE ALL THE TIME.
I THINK HE'S MORE ACTIVE WHEN WOMEN ENTER THE BUILDING.
ONE NIGHT, WE WERE INVESTIGATING IN THE DINING ROOM, AND ONE OF THE INVESTIGATORS SAID THAT SHE FEL LIKE SOMEONE WAS TOUCHING HER BACK.
Doe: SO WE SNAPPED A COUPLE OF PICTURES OF HER AND CAPTURED A SKELETAL HAND ON THE SIDE OF HER FACE AND ANOTHER ONE ON HER CHES AND WHAT LOOKS LIKE A FACE STANDING BEHIND HER.
Chilton: WE WERE JUST COMPLETELY STARTLED AT WHAT WE WERE SEEING.
I WAS VERY AFRAID THAT IT HAD TOUCHED HER.
WE PLAYED BACK THE RECORDER AND DURING THE TIME THAT THE PHOTO WAS TAKEN, AN EVP WAS CAPTURED.
Doe: AND THIS CREEPY GUY SAYS, "GO RIGHT TO SLEEP.
" IT'S SCARY TO THINK THAT SOMETHING HAD THEIR HANDS ON HER AND ACTUALLY VERBALLY RESPONDED.
Chilton: SHE FELT IT.
WE CAPTURED AN EVP TO SUPPORT IT AND WE HAVE THE PHOTO TO SUPPORT IT.
[ CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS .]
Doe: FROM MY KNOWLEDGE OF THE WAY THAT HE PUTS HIS HANDS ON WOMEN, I BELIEVE IT WAS THE SPIRIT OF JOHN.
Chilton: I HAVE HOPES TO MAKE THIS BUILDING INTO A PARANORMAL RESEARCH FACILITY SO THAT I CAN EDUCATE PEOPLE THAT SPIRITS ARE REAL.
THEY DO EXIST.
AFTER HEARING THE SPIRIT OF EMMA SAYING "MAMA" TO ME AFTER CAPTURING THE NUMEROUS PHOTOS OF APPARITIONS OF A CHILD, AS WELL AS WHAT I BELIEVE TO BE THE SPIRIT OF JOHN, I KNOW WITHOUT A DOUB THAT THIS BUILDING IS HAUNTED.
Doe: I'M FASCINATED BEING IN THIS PLACE, BUT I'M PETRIFIED.
I'VE SEEN WHAT THE SPIRITS HERE ARE CAPABLE OF.
I WISH JEANNE WOULDN'T WORK IN THERE ALONE.
I FEAR FOR HER.
I BELIEVE THAT JOHN COULD HARM HER.
I BELIEVE THERE MAY BE OTHER SPIRITS IN THERE THAT COULD HARM HER.
BUT, AT THE SAME TIME, I KNOW YOU CAN'T WALK AWAY.
THE PLACE JUST WON' LET YOU WALK AWAY FROM IT.
Musgrove: IF THE SPIRITS CAN MOVE ROCKS OFF THE TABLE, WHAT CAN IT DO TO ME? Reed: IT STOPPED ME DEAD IN MY TRACKS.
Musgrove: STARTED TO GET VERY SCARED.
BOOM -- THERE WAS A PICTURE OF A WOMAN.
Reed: I KNEW IT WAS A SPIRIT.
Musgrove: WHEN THINGS START GETTING THAT OUT OF CONTROL, YOU WANT SOMEBODY THERE WITH YOU.
Musgrove: IF THE SPIRITS CAN MOVE ROCKS OFF THE TABLE, WHAT CAN IT DO TO ME? Reed: IT STOPPED ME DEAD IN MY TRACKS.
BOOM -- THERE WAS A PICTURE OF A WOMAN.
Reed: I KNEW IT WAS A SPIRIT.
[ CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS .]
MY GHOST STORY BEGAN WHEN I STARTED WORKING AT THE WASHOE CLUB IN VIRGINIA CITY, NEVADA.
VIRGINIA CITY IS A VERY OLD MINING TOWN FROM THE 1800s.
THERE'S QUITE A LO OF HISTORY THERE, A LOT OF ORIGINAL BUILDINGS.
IN 1875, A FIRE BURNT DOWN ABOUT HALF OF THEM, BUT THEY REBUILT AND KEPT GOING UNTIL THE MINES DRIED OUT, AND NOW IT'S JUST A NICE TOURIST TOWN.
I'M A TOUR GUIDE AT THE WASHOE CLUB.
BEFORE I STARTED WORKING THERE, I HEARD STORIES OF IT BEING HAUNTED.
IT WAS ORIGINALLY BUILT IN 1862.
ON THE FIRST FLOOR, YOU WALK INTO THE BAR, AND IT'S JUS A VERY OLD-LOOKING SALOON, STILL WITH THE BULLET HOLES IN THE TIN-ROOF CEILINGS.
THERE WERE OFFICES ON THE SECOND FLOOR.
THE THIRD FLOOR WAS A BROTHEL.
THERE IS A FEELING IN THERE THAT THE ENERGY HAS BEEN LEFT BEHIND FROM THE YEARS PAST.
THERE WAS A COUPLE WINTERS WHERE THE MORGUE WOULD OVERFLOW DUE TO THE GROUND BEING TOO FROZEN TO BURY BODIES, SO THEY WOULD STORE THE BODIES UP UNTIL SPRINGTIME, AND THE BACK STORAGE ROOM AT THE WASHOE CLUB WAS ONE PLACE WHERE THEY STORED BODIES.
WE CALL IT THE CRYPT NOW, AND YOU DEFINITELY CAN FEEL PRESENCE OF SPIRITS IN THE CRYPT.
PEOPLE PUT ROCKS ON THE TABLE IN THE CRYPT.
SOMETIMES, THEY'RE JUST MOVED BY THE SPIRITS.
OTHER TIMES, THEY'VE BEEN THROWN.
LENA IS KNOWN TO BE A LADY THAT WAS VERY BEAUTIFUL.
THE BAR OWNER REALLY WANTED TO GET HER TO WORK AT THE BROTHEL, YET SHE WAS MARRIED, SO HE HAD HER HUSBAND MURDERED.
SO, EVENTUALLY, SHE DID HAVE TO TURN IN TO WORKING THERE.
WHEN SHE FOUND OUT THE BAR OWNER HAD HER HUSBAND MURDERED, SHE WENT INTO A FIT OF RAGE, WENT AFTER THE BAR OWNER.
HIS WIFE WAS IN THE BAR AND SAW THIS HAPPENING, SO SHE BROKE A BOTTLE AND SLIT LENA'S THROAT.
[ WOMAN SCREAMS .]
WE BELIEVE THAT LENA IS THE SPIRI THAT IS OFTEN SEEN ON THE SPIRAL STAIRCASE.
ABOUT THREE WEEKS AFTER I STARTED WORKING THERE, AS I WOULD BE TALKING TO THE PEOPLE ON TOUR, MY HAIR WOULD STAR BEING STROKED.
IT WAS DEFINITELY A HAND, AND SOMETIMES CONTINUED DOWN TO MY BACK.
IT WOULD CAUSE ME TO LOSE TRACK OF MY WORDING AS I WAS TALKING, 'CAUSE I WOULD SUDDENLY REALIZE SOMETHING'S HAPPENING.
ONE DAY, I WAS TAKING A TOUR ON THE THIRD FLOOR, AND AS I TURNED THE CORNER, I SAW A MAN RUN ACROSS THE ROOM.
IT STOPPED ME DEAD IN MY TRACKS, AND I REALLY HAD TO CATCH MY BREATH, BECAUSE I KNEW THERE WAS A MAN WHO WAS 70 YEARS OLD WHO TOOK HIS LIFE IN THERE.
NOBODY HAD GONE IN FRONT OF ME, AND NOBODY HAD PASSED ME, SO I KNEW IT WAS A SPIRIT.
ONE NIGHT, I WAS WORKING BEHIND THE BAR.
I JUST HAPPENED TO LOOK UP AND SEE A MARTINI GLASS FLY OU AND THEN JUST DROP.
[ GLASS SHATTERS .]
THERE WAS NOBODY NEAR THE GLASS.
IT WAS WAY AT THE OTHER END OF THE BAR.
PEOPLE SITTING AT THE BAR JUST LOOKED AT ME.
"DID YOU SEE THAT?" AND WE WERE ALL JUST BAFFLED.
A LO OF PARANORMAL INVESTIGATORS COME TO THE WASHOE CLUB TO INVESTIGATE.
ONE DAY, JASON CAME INTO THE BAR ON HIS OWN.
Musgrove: I MET JEN AT THE WASHOE CLUB.
SHE WAS ONE OF THE TOUR GUIDES THAT I INTERVIEWED REGARDING THE HAUNTS THERE.
JEN'S SON TOOK A PHOTO ON THE SECOND FLOOR, AND HE CAPTURED RED ENERGY.
WHEN YOU LOOK AT THIS PHOTO, YOU COULD JUST SEE THE DIFFERENT LAYERS OF ENERGY ILLUMINATING FROM THIS.
IT'S AMAZING.
LATER THAT NIGHT, I SHOWED UP AROUND 9:00 TO CONDUCT MY INVESTIGATION.
I WAS THE ONLY PERSON IN THE BUILDING.
EVEN RIGHT OFF THE GATE FROM UNLOADING MY EQUIPMENT, I ACTUALLY FEL A PRESENCE THERE.
IT SEEMED LIKE A REALLY OMINOUS ENVIRONMENT.
THE FIRST PLACE THAT I WEN THAT NIGHT WAS THE CRYPT.
THERE WAS A TABLE BACK THERE.
I PLACED A ROCK ON THE TABLE AND PUT MY DIGITAL RECORDER RIGHT NEXT TO THE ROCK.
THEN I SET UP ANOTHER DIGITAL RECORDER IN THE MUSEUM AREA.
RIGHT OFF THE BAT, I STARTED TO HEAR FOOTSTEPS UPSTAIRS.
I WOULD JUST SEE SHADOW FIGURES MOVING.
WHEN I WENT BACK TO THE CRYP TO REVIEW MY AUDIO, I NOTICED THAT THE ROCK I PLACED ON THE TABLE WAS GONE.
IT WAS PRETTY INTENSE, YOU KNOW? I MEAN, I WAS IN THIS BUILDING BY MYSELF, AND I KNEW THAT I DIDN'T MOVE IT, SO I WAS GETTING WORRIED.
I FELT LIKE IF THE SPIRITS CAN MOVE ROCKS OFF THE TABLE, WHAT CAN IT DO TO ME? THEN WHEN I LISTENED TO THE TAPE, I HEARD THE ROCK THAT I PLACED ON THE TABLE HITTING THE GROUND.
[ CLATTER .]
WHEN I HEARD THAT, I WAS REALLY SHOCKED.
Reed: WHEN I HEARD JASON'S EVP, I GOT CHILLS.
[ CLATTER .]
MAYBE THERE ARE SOME SPIRITS THERE THAT ARE A LITTLE MORE ANGRIER THAN I HAVE FELT.
Musgrove: AFTER THAT, I WENT INTO THE MUSEUM TO REVIEW MY OTHER DIGITAL RECORDER, AND I HEARD AN EVP OF A VOICE, SAYING IT SOUNDED LIKE, "I will kill you.
" WHEN I HEARD THAT, IT JUST SENT CHILLS COMPLETELY ALL THROUGH MY SPINE.
IT WAS DEFINITELY A MAN'S VOICE THREATENING ME.
I STARTED TO GET VERY SCARED.
I DIDN'T WANT TO BE A VICTIM OF WHAT THEY CAN DO.
Reed: WHEN I HEARD THAT EVP, I WAS ACTUALLY SCARED FOR JASON.
Musgrove: THAT'S WHEN I DECIDED TO PULL OUT MY CAMERA.
I WENT BACK INTO THE CRYPT, TOOK A PICTURE, AND I SAW A WHITE MIS IN THE UPPER LEFT-HAND CORNER.
Reed: THAT IS OBVIOUSLY NOT SMOKE.
THERE'S NOBODY SMOKING THERE OR ANYTHING.
AND I THINK IT IS A SPIRI MANIFESTING ITSELF.
Musgrove: AT THAT POINT, I SAID, OUT LOUD, "IF THERE'S ANY SPIRITS HERE THAT WANT TO BE SEEN, HERE'S YOUR CHANCE, BECAUSE I'M TAKING PICTURES.
" AND BY THE TIME I GO TO THE BOTTOM OF THE STAIRS -- BOOM -- THERE WAS A PICTURE OF A WOMAN.
[ CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS .]
YOU SEE A WHITE MIST AND HER FACE, AND IT LOOKS LIKE SHE'S LEANING UP AGAINST THE DOOR.
Reed: THERE WAS DEFINITELY A LADY IN THIS PICTURE.
I WAS IN AWE.
THE MIST COULD POSSIBLY BE THE SPIRIT OF LENA, THE PROSTITUTE WHOSE LIFE WAS TAKEN THERE.
Musgrove: WHEN I CAPTURED THAT LAST PHOTO, I KNEW THAT I WAS DEFINITELY NOT ALONE.
I DID NOT KNOW WHAT THE SPIRITS WERE CAPABLE OF DOING, IF I WAS IN DANGER OR ANYTHING, AND I FIGURED I SHOULD PROBABLY JUST WRAP UP MY INVESTIGATION.
WHEN THINGS START GETTING THAT OUT OF CONTROL, YOU WANT SOMEBODY THERE WITH YOU.
Reed: I DO BELIEVE THE SPIRITS AT THE WASHOE CLUB ARE GONNA BE THERE AS LONG AS IT STANDS.
THAT IS THEIR PLACE, AND WE, AS PEOPLE GOING THROUGH IT, WE'RE JUST VISITING.
Musgrove: AFTER HEARING THE ROCK MOVE OFF THE TABLE [ CLATTER .]
HEARING THE EVP OF THE VOICE SAYING, "I WILL KILL YOU" AND CAPTURING THE FEMALE MIS AGAINST THE DOOR, I HAVE NO DOUB THAT THE WASHOE CLUB IS HAUNTED.
Reed: I WOULD SAY TO THOSE WHO DO NOT BELIEVE, SPEND A NIGH AT THE WASHOE CLUB, AND THEN WHEN YOU LEAVE, SEE WHAT YOU BELIEVE.
Biery: AS I LOOKED AT THE SECOND AND THIRD PICTURE, I COULD SEE A DISTINCT IMAGE OF A SHADOW FIGURE.
YOU COULD FEEL THAT IT WASN' WANTING YOU THERE.
WE JUST STARTED TAKING MORE PICTURES, AND YOU CAN SEE, CLEARLY, A WOMAN.
Bryant: AND THERE'S A MAN ON THE LEFT-HAND SIDE.
I WAS COMPLETELY STUNNED.
Biery: WE JUST STARTED TAKING PICTURES, AND YOU COULD SEE, CLEARLY, A WOMAN.
Bryant: AND THERE'S A MAN ON THE LEFT-HAND SIDE, AND THERE'S ANOTHER WOMAN IN THE BACK.
I WAS COMPLETELY STUNNED.
Biery: MY GHOST STORY BEGAN WHEN I STEPPED INSIDE OF A 140-YEAR-OLD BUILDING IN BETHEL, OHIO.
IN 2001, I WAS ORDAINED AS A PRIEST, AND I'VE BEEN PRACTICING IN MINISTRY FOR THE LAST 12 YEARS.
THE WAY I GOT INVOLVED IN THE PARANORMAL WORLD WAS I ACTUALLY BECAME PART OF A CO-FOUNDING OF A PARANORMAL TEAM.
THE MOTTO OF THE GROUP WAS "SPIRITS HAVE A STORY TO TELL.
WE'RE GONNA TELL IT.
" TYING THA INTO MY PERSONAL THEOLOGY AND DEVELOPING MY PERSONAL THEOLOGY ON WHAT REALLY EXISTED BEYOND DEATH.
TONY AND I HAVE BEEN BEST FRIENDS SINCE FIRST GRADE, SO WE'VE KNOWN EACH OTHER FOR ABOUT 28 YEARS NOW.
Bryant: I THINK WITH DAVE BEING RELIGIOUS AND MYSELF BEING OF A CALM NATURE, WE MAKE A GOOD TEAM, THAT SPIRI AND PARANORMAL ACTIVITY WANTS TO ACTUALLY COME OU AND SHOW THEMSELVES TO US.
Biery: WE WENT TO ZIP'S PRINTING BECAUSE WE WERE DOING A PARANORMAL CONFERENCE BACK IN MAY OF 2012.
WE WERE TALKING TO SOME FOLKS, AND THEY WERE SAYING SOME UNUSUAL THINGS WERE HAPPENING AT THIS BUILDING.
THEY REALLY URGED US TO KIND OF GET IN CONTACT WITH THE OWNER AND GO THERE AND DO AN INVESTIGATION.
Bryant: WE JUST TALKED TO PRISCILLA, THE OWNER, ABOU THE HISTORY OF THE BUILDING.
SHE SAID IT WAS BUIL A LITTLE AFTER THE CIVIL WAR IN THE 1880s, AND IT WAS A FORMER BROTHEL.
Biery: IT WAS A BROTHEL FROM THE LATE 1880s TO EARLY 1900s.
[ WOMAN GIGGLES .]
WE ALSO FOUND OU THAT IT WAS SUPPOSEDLY A SATANIC WORSHIPING FACILITY DURING THE 1950s.
IT MADE IT REALLY INTERESTING TO GO THERE BECAUSE YOU KNOW A LOT OF STUFF'S GONNA HAPPEN BECAUSE OF THE TRADE THAT TOOK PLACE THERE.
MYSELF, TONY, AND TWO OTHER TEAM MEMBERS ARRIVED.
WE HAD STARTED TO BRING SOME EQUIPMENT IN.
PRISCILLA, THE OWNER OF THE BUILDING, INTRODUCED HERSELF, AND WE STARTED TALKING ABOU MIRIAM THE MADAM.
Bryant: THE LEGEND BEHIND MIRIAM IS SHE WAS THE MADAM OF THE BROTHEL.
FROM WHAT WE WERE TOLD, THE UPSTAIRS WAS HER WORKING AREA.
AND NOW ALL THE WINDOWS ARE BOARDED UP, WHICH GAVE IT A CREEPY, EERIE FEELING.
WALKING THROUGH THE FRONT DOOR, IT WAS INSTANT ELECTRICITY.
Biery: YOU COULD JUST FEEL THA IT WAS GONNA BE A GOOD NIGHT.
Bryant: I HAD A NERVOUS FEELING, LIKE MAYBE WE SHOULDN'T BE IN THIS PLACE.
THE FIRST THING I DID WAS SET UP DVR CAMERAS, AND ACTIVITY KICKED UP.
Biery: WE IMMEDIATELY HEARD SOME FOOTSTEPS.
IT SOUNDED LIKE A 300-POUND MAN RUNNING UP AND DOWN THE STAIRS.
AT THAT POINT, STARTED TO WALK UPSTAIRS.
Bryant: WE GET TO THE TOP OF THE STEPS AND A BOX IN THE BACK ROOM GOES FLYING.
IT WAS SITTING IN THE CORNER, AND NOW IT'S ACROSS THE ROOM.
THERE WAS NO REASONABLE EXPLANATION FOR IT WHATSOEVER.
Biery: IMMEDIATELY TOOK OU SOME CAMERAS AND JUST STARTED TAKING PICTURES.
OUR FIRST PICTURE TURNED OUT NORMAL.
AS I LOOKED AT THE SECOND AND THIRD PICTURE, I COULD SEE A DISTINCT IMAGE OF A SHADOW FIGURE.
YOU CAN SEE THE OUTLINE OF A HUMAN.
IT WAS CLEARLY A MAN.
IT WAS KIND OF SURREAL BECAUSE IT WAS HAPPENING RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU.
I KNEW SOMETHING WAS THERE, AND YOU COULD FEEL THA IT WASN'T WANTING YOU THERE.
LATER THAT NIGHT, WE WERE UPSTAIRS, AND WE WERE IN THE MIDDLE ROOM.
WE HAD TWO MOTION SENSORS SET IN THE BACK.
AS WE WALKED INTO THE BACK ROOM, SOMETHING WASN'T RIGHT.
AND THEN WE SAW THE MOTION SENSORS GOING OFF.
SO, WE JUST STARTED TAKING SOME PICTURES.
[ CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKING .]
FIRST, WE COULDN'T SEE ANYTHING, BUT UPON REVIEW, YOU COULD SEE A FACE.
IT LOOKED LIKE SOMEONE WAS JUST STANDING RIGHT THERE.
I BELIEVE IT WAS MIRIAM THE MADAM.
YOU COULD SEE, CLEARLY, A HUMAN FIGURE.
SHE'S HOLDING SOMETHING.
I'M NOT SURE WHAT IT IS, BUT YOU CAN CLEARLY SEE I FROM A SILHOUETTE STANDPOIN ON THE SIDE.
Bryant: THERE'S A MAN ON THE LEFT-HAND SIDE, AND THEN THERE'S ANOTHER WOMAN IN THE BACK.
AFTER HEARING THE STORIES AND ALL THE ACTIVITY, THERE'S NO DOUBT IN MY MIND THAT WAS MIRIAM IN THE PICTURE.
Biery: YOU JUST GET, LIKE, A REALLY STRONG INCLINATION THAT THERE'S SOME KIND OF AUTHORITATIVE BEING THERE.
IT WAS MIND-BOGGLING.
Bryant: AFTER SEEING THE PICTURE, I HAD THE DIGITAL RECORDER IN MY HAND, AND I HEARD SOMETHING, BUT I COULDN'T MAKE OU WHAT WAS GOING ON.
WHEN I LISTEN CLOSER, I GOT AN EVP.
Biery: YOU HEAR THE OVILUS SAY "GET OUT.
" ONLY A MADAM WOULD HAVE THAT AUTHORITATIVE KIND OF FEELING, ALMOST KIND OF LIKE A PRINCIPAL.
Bryant: WHEN I HEARD THAT EVP MY JAW HIT THE FLOOR.
WE SET UP DVR CAMERAS IN A FEW OF THE DIFFERENT ROOMS AND JUST LET THEM ROLL.
Biery: UP THE STAIRS, THERE'S THE ROOM OFF TO THE RIGHT.
WE HAD SET A CAMERA UP, AND YOU SEE THIS REALLY BAD ENERGY.
Bryant: IT LOOKED LIKE SOMEBODY CAME IN AND OUT OF THE DOORWAY.
Biery: YOU CAN SEE AN IMAGE KIND OF CREEPING IN AND OUT OF THE DOOR.
Bryant: WHEN WE SEE THE ACTUAL SHADOW PASS, WE'RE LIKE, "THAT SHOULDN'T HAVE HAPPENED.
" Biery: IT'S DEFINITELY SOMETHING WHICH WE BELIEVE TO BE MIRIAM.
Bryant: IT PUTS A LITTLE BIT OF FEAR INTO YOU.
Biery: THE LAST HOUR THAT WE WERE THERE, I COULD FEEL SOMETHING KIND OF PASS THROUGH ME.
AS I FELT THAT, I FELT TWO HANDS GRAB MY SHOULDER AND PUSH ME.
AS IT PUSHED ME, I FEL A BURNING SENSATION ON MY SIDE.
Bryant: ALL OF A SUDDEN, HE SAYS, "MY SIDE'S BURNING.
" SO HE LIFTS UP HIS SHIRT.
WE DEFINITELY KNEW AT THAT POIN WE SHOULDN'T BE THERE.
THERE'S SOMETHING EVIL IN THIS BUILDING.
Biery: AFTER EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENED THAT NIGHT -- THE BOXES FLYING, BEING PUSHED, THE PICTURES THAT WE HAD CAPTURED THE EVPs THAT WE HAD CAPTURED GET OUT.
THERE IS DEFINITELY SOMETHING EVIL, DEFINITELY SOMETHING SINISTER.
Bryant: KNOWING THA THERE'S SOMETHING OUT THERE THAT CAN DO HARM, YOU CAN'T TAKE IT LIGHTLY.
Biery: I WILL SAY THAT THE BUILDING IS DEFINITELY DESECRATED TO THE DEVIL.
IT'S SOMETHING THAT CURRENTLY HAS EVIL ATTACHED TO I TILL IT'S CLEANSED.
I WOULD ADVISE ANYBODY LOOKING FOR DEMONS TO BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL 'CAUSE YOU MIGHT JUST FIND WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING FOR.
