Love Curse
Narrator: A YOUNG MAN DATES A GIRL WITH THE WRONG KIND OF FRIENDS.
THAT GIRL'S SO WEIRD.
I HEARD SHE WAS LIKE A WITCH.
DON'T WORRY.
HE'LL BE GONE SOON ENOUGH.
Narrator: FOR YEARS, HE'S PURSUED BY AN INVISIBLE TERROR.
LEE! I COULDN'T BREATHE.
AND I FELT LIKE I WAS CHOKING.
Narrator: AND NOW IT'S AFTER THOSE HE LOVES MOST.
I'M PREGNANT.
WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO? [ GASPS .]
I FELT TWO HANDS JUST PUSH ME.
WHAT CAN I DO TO PROTECT MY FAMILY? Narrator: IN AMERICA, THERE IS REAL EVIL.
IT LURKS IN THE DARKEST SHADOWS AND IN OUR MOST ORDINARY TOWNS.
BETWEEN THE WORLDS WE SEE SOMEONE IS IN MY ROOM.
AND THE THINGS WE FEAR [ SCREAMS .]
THERE ARE DOORS.
WHEN THEY ARE OPENED [ SCREAMS .]
Narrator: NIGHTMARES BECOME REALITY.
-- Captions by VITAC -- CAPTIONS PAID FOR BY DISCOVERY COMMUNICATIONS IN 2007, LEE MOORE BEGINS HAVING TERRIBLE NIGHTMARES.
LEE, WAKE UP.
YOU OKAY? [ SIGHS .]
I HAD THE CRAZIEST DREAM.
Lee: I STARTED HAVING THESE CRAZY DREAMS.
IN MY MIND, I HAD THE FEELING OF BEING WATCHED AND SOMETHING BEING RIGHT BEHIND YOU.
IT SOUNDED LIKE AIR MOVING.
BUT IT WAS ALMOS LIKE IT WAS HUMMING, AND IT WAS KIND OF LIKE A SHRIEK.
Narrator: BUT HIS GIRLFRIEND, ALYSSA, IS LESS THAN SYMPATHETIC.
DID YOU PICK UP THE COFFEE? I'M SORRY.
I WASN'T FEELING WELL.
-I CAME STRAIGHT HOME.
-GREAT.
JUST GREAT.
Lee: WHEN ALYSSA AND I STARTED DATING, I WAS 18.
IT WAS A GOOD RELATIONSHIP, YOU KNOW.
WE WERE SUPPORTIVE OF EACH OTHER.
I DID SEE US HAVING A FUTURE TOGETHER.
I WAS PRAYING FOR A LONG, LASTING RELATIONSHIP.
Narrator: FOR THE PAST FEW WEEKS, ALYSSA HAS BEEN ARGUING WITH HIM ABOUT PETTY THINGS.
HEY, WHAT'S WRONG? I JUST ASKED YOU TO DO ONE THING.
ONE THING.
BABY, NOW, LOOK, I KNOW I SCREWED UP.
I'LL MAKE IT UP TO YOU.
I PROMISE.
YOU BET YOU WILL.
DON'T YOU HAVE WORK TODAY? YEAH.
I GOTTA GO.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING TODAY? WELL, CHERYL'S COMING OVER SOON.
CHERYL? Lee: ONCE SHE STARTED HANGING OUT WITH CHERYL, HER ATTITUDE TOWARDS ME KIND OF STARTED TO GET A LITTLE BIT MORE SOUR.
ALYSSA JUS BASICALLY DID A 180 TURN.
SHE WENT FROM, YOU KNOW, HUMBLE, NICE, CARING TO VERY DARK, IRRITABLE.
I DON'T KNOW WHY YOU HANG OU WITH HER.
THAT GIRL'S SO WEIRD.
I HEARD SHE WAS LIKE A WITCH.
I LIKE HER.
SHE UNDERSTANDS ME.
ALYSSA TOLD ME CHERYL WAS A SELF-PROCLAIMED WITCH.
I'M LIKE, "WHAT DO YOU MEAN, WITCH? WITCHCRAFT, DARK MAGIC?" "YEAH, SHE'S PAR OF A COVEN IN THIS AREA.
THERE'S A LOT OF THEM.
" AND I'M THINKING, "WHY ARE YOU HANGING OUT WITH HER?" THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT HER.
WELL, GET USED TO IT.
SHE'S MY FRIEND, AND SHE LISTENS TO ME.
MAYBE YOU SHOULD TRY THAT.
LOOK, I KNOW I'VE BEEN WORKING A LOT LATELY, BUT IT IS ALL FOR US.
I GOTTA GET READY.
BUT I'LL MAKE DINNER TONIGHT.
I PROMISE.
Narrator: OVER THE NEXT FEW WEEKS, ALYSSA AND HER NEW FRIEND BEGIN HANGING OUT MORE AND MORE.
I DON'T KNOW WHY YOU LIKE HIM.
HE DOESN'T EVEN APPRECIATE YOU.
I KNOW.
I JUST DON'T HAVE THE HEART TO BREAK UP WITH HIM.
YEAH, DON'T WORRY.
HE'LL BE GONE SOON ENOUGH.
I JUST DON'T THINK WE DID THE RIGHT THING.
WE CALL UPON YOU.
WE DID THE RIGHT THING.
YOU TWO AREN'T MEAN FOR EACH OTHER.
JUST GIVE IT TIME.
I GUESS.
TRUST ME.
THIS IS GONNA WORK.
Lee: I WAS DRIVING HOME, AND I PULLED IN THE DRIVEWAY.
THEN I SAW SOMETHING FLOATING ABOVE THE HOUSE.
IT DIDN'T HAVE A SHAPE.
IT WAS JUST A BIG, BLACK MASS.
AND ALL OF A SUDDEN, I GOT THIS REALLY TWISTY FEELING IN MY STOMACH.
ARE YOU OKAY? WHAT HAPPENED? I SAW THIS BLACK THING ABOVE THE HOUSE.
WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? THERE'S NOTHING THERE.
I KNOW WHAT I SAW.
CHERYL, I'LL GIVE YOU A CALL TOMORROW.
COME ON.
LET'S GET YOU INSIDE.
Lee: WELL, CHERYL, HER ATTITUDE TOWARDS ME WAS KIND OF WEIRD.
BUT THE FEELING WAS MUTUAL.
JUST SOMETHING ABOUT HER RUBBED ME WRONG.
I DON'T KNOW ABOUT HER.
SHE GIVES ME THE CREEPS.
YEAH, WELL, YOU'RE NOT PERFECT, EITHER.
HER DEMEANOR WAS DARK.
SOMETHING WASN'T RIGHT.
Narrator: BUT CHERYL'S PRESENCE IS NOT THE ONLY THING GIVING LEE THE CREEPS.
Lee: THE FEELING THAT I HAD FOR THE NEXT COUPLE DAYS WAS SOMETHING WAS NO RIGHT IN THE HOUSE.
ALYSSA? LEE! UGH! WATCH WHERE YOU'RE GOING.
I'M SORRY.
WERE YOU IN THE OTHER ROOM? I THOUGHT I HEARD SOMEONE IN THERE.
WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU LATELY? YOU'RE SCARED OF EVERYTHING.
NO, I'M SERIOUS.
I HEARD SOMEONE IN THE ROOM.
Lee: ALYSSA, SHE WAS TELLING ME -- SHE WAS LIKE, "WELL, YOU'RE JUST IMAGINING IT.
" MAYBE I'M JUST TIRED.
HEY! DID YOU WASH MY BASEBALL SHIRT? YOU KNOW THE ONE, MY FAVORITE ONE? I CAN'T FIND IT ANYWHERE.
I HAD A SHIRT THA WAS ONE OF MY FAVORITE ONES FROM HIGH SCHOOL.
AND I ASKED ALYSSA, AND SHE'S LIKE, "I DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED WITH IT.
" SHIRT? NO, UM, I HAVEN'T SEEN IT.
HERE.
WHEN I ASKED HER, SHE HAD THIS VERY DECEIVING DEMEANOR ABOUT IT.
I'M GONNA BE LATE FOR WORK.
WE WERE BECOMING DISTANT.
IT WAS VERY EVIDENT.
SHE DIDN'T TALK TO ME LIKE SHE USED TO, YOU KNOW? SHE DIDN'T SEEM LIKE THE PERSON THAT I'D FALLEN IN LOVE WITH.
Narrator: AS TIME GOES BY, LEE GROWS MORE CONCERNED ABOUT HIS RELATIONSHIP.
Lee: I COULDN'T PU MY FINGER ON IT, YOU KNOW? I'M TRYING TO FIGURE OUT, YOU KNOW, WHAT'S GOING ON HERE.
ALYSSA, I THOUGH YOU WENT TO BED.
I THOUGHT, "SOMEBODY'S TRYING TO BREAK IN.
SOMEBODY'S TRYING TO STEAL SOMETHING.
" I GRABBED A GUN, WENT TO THE FRONT, AND I LOADED IT, COCKED IT.
I WASN'T GONNA LET THAT HAPPEN.
GET OUT OF HERE! I'LL SHOOT! THE BULLETS WERE GOING RIGHT THROUGH IT.
AND IT JUST DIDN'T SEEM LIKE IT FAZED IT AT ALL.
GET OUT OF HERE! I'LL SHOOT! Narrator: LEE MOORE IS BEING HAUNTED BY AN INVISIBLE CREATURE.
STAY AWAY! I KNEW THE INTENT OF IT WAS, "I'M GOING TO KILL YOU.
YOU ARE NOT GONNA LIVE.
" I WAS FEARING FOR MY LIFE.
I THOUGHT THAT I WAS GONNA DIE RIGHT THERE.
I WOKE UP IN A COLD SWEAT.
I WAS VERY TERRIFIED.
Narrator: LEE CHOOSES NOT TO TELL HIS GIRLFRIEND, ALYSSA.
FOR THE PAST FEW MONTHS, SHE HASN'T SHOWN MUCH INTERES IN HIS WELL-BEING.
Lee: WE WERE BECOMING DISTANT.
IT WAS VERY EVIDENT.
SHE DIDN'T TALK TO ME LIKE SHE USED TO.
HER ATTITUDE TOWARDS ME WAS VERY SOUR.
SHE WOULD IGNORE ME.
AND AT THAT POINT, I WAS STARTING TO GIVE UP.
Narrator: IN EARLY 2007, THE COUPLE GOES THEIR SEPARATE WAYS.
SHE SEEMED RELIEVED THAT I WAS DONE.
AFTER ALYSSA AND I SPLIT, I MOVED BACK TO ST.
LOUIS.
I WAS LIKE, "YOU KNOW, I'M GONNA FOCUS ON MYSELF RIGHT NOW, TRY TO MAKE SOMETHING OF MYSELF.
" Narrator: AND ONE DAY, A NEW WOMAN ENTERS HIS LIFE.
HEY, BABE.
HEY.
I BROUGHT YOU A DRINK.
THANK YOU.
-THAT LOOKS GOOD.
-LOOKS GOOD, RIGHT? Narrator: AFTER DATING ONLY A FEW MONTHS, THE COUPLE GETS MARRIED.
YOU WANNA TAKE A BREAK? SURE.
Lee: I MET CLAIRE.
AND WHEN I MET HER, I FIGURED OUT WHAT I WANTED.
AND WITH CLAIRE, IT JUST SEEMED LIKE IT WAS ALL THERE.
I FELL IN LOVE WITH HER.
YOU KNOW, THEY SAY, "LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT'S NOT REAL.
" YEAH, IT IS.
YOU TIRED? YEAH.
IT'S REALLY COMING TOGETHER, THOUGH.
WHAT I LOVE ABOUT LEE IS HE'S JUST SO SWEET.
WE WERE READY FOR A SERIOUS RELATIONSHIP.
WE WERE READY TO SETTLE DOWN.
WE WERE READY TO HAVE CHILDREN IN THE FUTURE.
I JUST CAN'T BELIEVE THAT IT'S ALL OURS.
IT'S ALL OURS.
EVEN THE BROKEN FURNACE AND THE DISHWASHER THA NEVER WORKS, BUT IT'S OURS.
WELL, I THINK THA THE DISHWASHER IS PERFECT.
PLUS, IF IT BREAKS, YOU CAN JUST DO THE DISHES.
OH, I CAN DO THEM? MM-HMM.
Claire: GETTING THE HOUSE, THAT WAS DEFINITELY THE START OF OUR NEW BEGINNING TOGETHER, OUR CHANCE TO BE A FAMILY OF OUR OWN.
Narrator: OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS, THE NEWLYWEDS SETTLE INTO THEIR HOME.
Claire: GUESS WHAT I JUST FOUND.
ALL OF OUR ENGAGEMENT PHOTOS.
NICE, NICE! YOU GOT MY FAVORITE ONE IN THERE? -YES.
-THAT'S IT.
Lee: THEN I START HEARING KNOCKS.
AND FOR ME, THEY SEEMED KIND OF ODD.
[ THUMPING .]
WHAT WAS THAT? IT SOUNDED LIKE A FIST.
SOMEBODY WAS KNOCKING.
BUT IT WAS COMING FROM INSIDE THE HOUSE.
IT WAS PROBABLY JUST THE FURNACE.
YOU KNOW IT'S ON ITS LAST LEG.
[ THUMPING .]
[ THUMPING .]
[ GASPS .]
[ BOTH LAUGH .]
ARE YOU OKAY? I'M OKAY.
DID YOU FIGURE OU THE NOISE? NO, I CAN'T HEAR IT COMING FROM ANYWHERE NOW.
WELL, I'M SURE IT'S JUST THE PIPES.
I'M SURE YOU'RE RIGHT.
[ LAUGHS .]
COME ON.
HONEY, I'M EXHAUSTED.
ME TOO.
Claire: I FIGURED IT WAS JUST AN OLD HOUSE, YOU KNOW, PIPES, HOUSE SETTLING, THE WIND, EVEN.
SO WE BRUSHED IT OFF.
[ OBJECTS CLATTERING .]
[ GLASS SHATTERS .]
Lee: I HEARD A BIG CRASH IN THE FRONT ROOM.
AND I'M THINKING, "OH, MY GOD.
SOMEBODY JUST BROKE IN.
" CLAIRE.
I HEARD SOMETHING.
WHAT? [ GLASS SHATTERS .]
THAT THING'S BEEN IN THE HOUSE.
STAY HERE.
Narrator: LEE MOORE IS BEING TERRORIZED BY SOMETHING, OR SOMEONE, IN HIS NEW HOME.
Lee: THE COFFEE TABLE GOT PICKED UP AND SLID.
I WAS VERY TERRIFIED.
THAT WAS THE MOST SCARED I'D EVER BEEN IN MY LIFE AT THAT POINT, 'CAUSE I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WAS HAPPENING.
LEE?! YOU OKAY?! JUST BY THE LOOK OF HIM, I KNEW THAT SOMETHING WAS DEFINITELY, DEFINITELY NOT RIGHT.
THE COFFEE TABLE FLIPPED OVER ON ITS OWN.
SOMEONE WAS IN THE HOUSE? I DON'T KNOW! I DIDN'T SEE ANYONE! OKAY, JUST CALM DOWN.
YOU'RE NOT MAKING ANY SENSE.
THE TABLE FLIPPED OVER ON ITS OWN! HOW DOES THAT HAPPEN?! SOMETHING WEIRD IS GOING ON HERE! WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? I FEEL LIKE THERE'S A PRESENCE IN THIS HOUSE OR SOMETHING.
LIKE IT'S HAUNTED? I WAS OPEN-MINDED TO THE PARANORMAL, BUT I DIDN'T SIT AROUND AND THINK, YOU KNOW, "OH, MY HOUSE IS HAUNTED.
" Lee: CLAIRE'S REACTION WAS KIND OF A BLANK STARE AT ME, LIKE, "DID YOU JUS SERIOUSLY SAY 'PARANORMAL'?" I DON'T KNOW, BUT I KNOW WHAT I SAW, CLAIRE.
Narrator: OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS, LEE'S ANXIETY GROWS.
Lee: IT WAS STRESSFUL.
THE FEELING OF THIS HOUSE WHEN WE WERE IN IT, YOU COULD CUT THE TENSION WITH A KNIFE.
THERE WAS LIKE A BLACK CLOUD OVER IT.
AT THE TIME, I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO THINK.
Narrator: THE COUPLE DESPERATELY TRIES TO CARRY ON WITH LIFE AS USUAL.
-HERE YOU GO.
-THANK YOU.
MM-HMM.
HEY, SO, MY MOM CALLED.
SHE SAID THEY'RE THINKING ABOUT COMING DOWN FOR A BIT.
THAT'D BE GREAT.
MAYBE THEY COULD STAY FOR A MONTH THIS TIME.
[ LAUGHS .]
I'M JUST KIDDING.
MM-HMM.
I LOVE YOUR PARENTS.
I'M GONNA CLEAN THIS STUFF UP.
WOULD YOU MIND GETTING ME THE RAKE FROM OVER THERE? YEAH, SURE.
APPRECIATE IT.
Claire: WHEN I GOT TO THE SHED, I STARTED TO FEEL LIKE SOMETHING'S WATCHING ME.
[ GASPS .]
AAH! I FELT TWO HANDS JUST PUSH ME, LIKE A GROWN MAN'S HANDS.
AND I DID NOT TRIP.
THERE WAS NOTHING FOR ME TO TRIP OVER.
IT FREAKED ME OUT.
WHAT HAPPENED? SOMETHING PUSHED ME.
THERE'S NOTHING HERE.
I'M TELLING YOU, TWO HANDS PUSHED ME.
CLAIRE'S DEMEANOR WAS VERY UPSET.
SHE WAS TERRORIZED.
SHE'S LIKE, "HOW COULD THIS HAPPEN?" I BELIEVE YOU.
LET'S GET YOU INSIDE.
IT'S VERY TERRIFYING, BUT IT ALSO MAKES YOU FEEL HELPLESS.
YOU KNOW, I TOOK A VOW TO PROTECT MY WIFE AND EVERYTHING, BUT I COULDN'T PROTECT HER FROM THAT.
IT WAS AN EYE-OPENER.
Narrator: LEE DECIDES TO TAKE ACTION AND RESEARCH PARANORMAL INVESTIGATORS.
THAT WAS A REALIZATION FOR ME.
THIS IS NOT GOOD.
I TOLD CLAIRE, "WE'RE GONNA GET TO THE BOTTOM OF IT.
WE'RE GONNA FIGURE IT OUT.
YOU KNOW, WE MADE IT THIS FAR.
WE'VE BEEN THROUGH A LOT SO FAR.
WE'RE GONNA PULL THROUGH THIS.
" SO, I GOT TO LOOKING UP TEAMS IN THE AREA.
Claire: LATER THAT EVENING, I WAS TAKING A BATH 'CAUSE I NEEDED TO CALM DOWN.
AFTER I GOT PUSHED DOWN, I REALIZED THAT THIS PROBABLY IS NOT SOMETHING TO BE PLAYING AROUND WITH.
I STARTED TO THINK, "IF IT'S ABLE TO PUSH ME DOWN, WHAT ELSE WILL IT DO? AM I SAFE TO BE ALONE IN THE HOUSE?" [ WOOD CREAKING .]
HONEY? AND I STARTED TO HAVE THIS UNEASY FEELING.
[ CREAKING .]
LEE? YOU'RE SCARING ME.
LEE? [ SCREAMS .]
LEE? Narrator: CLAIRE MOORE HAS SENSED A TERRIFYING BEING IN HER HOUSE.
[ CLAIRE SCREAMS .]
[ GASPS .]
LEE! LEE! CLAIRE, WHAT HAPPENED? I SAW IT.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN, "IT"? IT WAS IN THE BATHROOM.
WHAT "IT"? WHAT DO YOU MEAN? WHAT WAS "IT"? IT WAS LIKE THIS BLACK FIGURE WITH YELLOW EYES.
THE FIGURE WAS TALL, AND IT WAS DEFINITELY MASCULINE.
IT HAD A HUMAN FACE WITH YELLOW EYES THAT JUST GLOWED.
YOU MEAN LIKE THE THING I SAW IN MY DREAMS? CLAIRE AND I REALIZED WE WERE BOTH SEEING THE SAME THING.
Claire: THAT REALIZATION STARTED TO MAKE ME FEAR FOR MY LIFE.
I HAVE TO TELL YOU SOMETHING.
WHAT? I'M PREGNANT.
YOU'RE PREGNANT? HEY, THIS IS GOOD.
THIS IS GREAT NEWS.
WE WANTED THIS.
THIS IS GREAT.
NOT LIKE THIS.
Lee: I WAS HAPPY.
I WAS EXCITED.
BUT AT THE SAME TIME, I WAS FEARFUL.
WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO? WHAT CAN I DO TO PROTECT MY FAMILY? I WAS NOT GOING TO GIVE UP ON THIS.
I WAS GOING TO MAKE SURE MY CHILD CAME INTO A HAPPY, HEALTHY HOUSEHOLD, THAT SHE DID NO HAVE TO LIVE IN FEAR.
Narrator: WASTING NO TIME, THE COUPLE INVITES A LOCAL PARANORMAL EXPER TO INVESTIGATE THE HOUSE.
HI.
Lee: WHEN I MET LIDA, JUST SOMETHING RUBBED ME REALLY WRONG WITH HER.
SHE HAD THIS WEIRD LOOK TO HER, KIND OF LIKE A DARK FEELING WITH HER.
-I'M LEE, AND THIS IS MY -- -Shh.
I NEED SILENCE.
Lee: BUT SHE'S AN INVESTIGATOR.
SHE KNOWS WHAT SHE'S DOING.
SHE'S HERE TO HELP.
SO I LOOKED AT CLAIRE.
I'M LIKE, "YOU KNOW WHAT? WE'RE GONNA TRUST HER.
" WE NEED TO DO AN EVP SESSION.
THIS WAY.
AND WE STARTED TO AN EVP SESSION/ COMMUNICATING WITH I TO SEE IF IT WAS THERE.
Lida: WHEN I PASS YOU THE RECORDER, YOU MUST ASK THE ENTITY A QUESTION.
LET US BEGIN.
ARE YOU HUMAN IN NATURE? ARE YOU WITH THIS HOUSE? WHY DID YOU HURT ME? ARE YOU DEMONIC? BABE? Claire: LEE DIDN'T LOOK LIKE HE FELT WELL.
HE LOOKED LIKE HE MIGHT THROW UP.
-ARE YOU OKAY? -LEE? LEE, CAN YOU HEAR ME? LEE? WHAT'S HAPPENING?! LEE.
LEE.
CAN YOU HEAR US? [ Raspy voice .]
I DON'T KNOW.
AND IN A RASPY, GROWL-SOUNDING VOICE, HE SAID, "I DON'T KNOW.
" THAT VOICE WASN' MY HUSBAND'S VOICE.
LEE?! WHAT HAPPENED? Lee: ALL OF A SUDDEN, I GOT THIS REALLY TWISTING FEELING IN MY STOMACH, AND I FELT NUMB.
WHAT HAPPENED? YOU WERE LIKE A DIFFERENT PERSON.
THIS IS MORE SERIOUS THAN I INITIALLY EXPECTED.
I BELIEVE WHAT YOU HAVE HERE IS DEMONIC.
DEMONIC? SHE SAID, "YOU GUYS HAVE GO A FULL-ON DEMONIC CASE.
" A BENEVOLENT SPIRI WOULDN'T HAVE THE POWER TO ATTACK LEE LIKE THIS.
I WILL FIND SOMEONE TO DO A CLEANSING.
SOMEONE FROM THE CHURCH.
Lee: THE FEELING I HAD WHEN I HEARD THAT -- MY STOMACH DROPPED.
MY BODY WENT NUMB.
Claire: HEARING THE WORD "DEMON", NOT GHOST, NOT SPIRIT, BUT "DEMON", THAT THIS WHOLE THING WAS A DEMONIC ENTITY THAT WAS TERRORIZING US, IT SENT CHILLS DOWN MY SPINE.
Narrator: LIDA SENDS DEMONOLOGISTS TO INVESTIGATE THE PROPERTY.
Kenneth: MY NAME IS KENNETH DEEL, AND I'M A ROMAN CATHOLIC DEMONOLOGIST.
WE ARE RECOGNIZED BY THE LOCAL DIOCESE, AND WE TRAIN AND ADVISE PRIESTS AROUND THE UNITED STATES AND ABROAD.
IT'S HERE.
AND IT'S PRESENCE IS STRONG.
MY STOMACH CLUTCHED, AND MY THROAT CLUTCHED.
USUALLY, THIS SORT OF PHYSICAL REACTION IS MY FIRST INDICATOR THAT SOMETHING'S WRONG.
Claire: THIS IS WHERE WE HAD THE EVP SESSION WITH LIDA.
AND IT'S ALSO WHERE LEE WAS ATTACKED FOR THE FIRST TIME.
IT HAPPENED RIGHT HERE.
Claire: KEN AND FARAH AGREED AFTER WALKING THROUGH THE PROPERTY AND AROUND THE HOUSE THAT THIS DEFINITELY WAS A DEMONIC ENTITY.
AND THEY NEEDED TO DO A CLEANSING IMMEDIATELY, NOT ONLY BECAUSE IT WAS DEMONIC, BUT BECAUSE I WAS PREGNANT.
THAT MADE THE ISSUE EVEN MORE PRESSING.
THESE WILL HELP PROTECT YOU.
Kenneth: I'LL NEED YOU TO REMAIN IN CONSTANT PRAYER WITH US.
YOU HAVE TO RECLAIM YOUR HOME.
YOU HAVE TO TAKE A STANCE.
SAINT MICHAEL, THE ARCHANGEL, DEFEND US IN BATTLE.
BE OUR PROTECTION AGAINST THE WICKEDNESS AND SNARES OF THE DEVIL.
All: THRUST INTO HELL SATAN AND ALL THE OTHER EVIL SPIRITS.
Farah: WHAT A CLEANSING INVOLVES IS THE ABSOLUTE EXPULSION OF ANY NEGATIVITY OR ANYTHING THAT COULD POSSIBLY HARM THE FAMILY.
All: WICKEDNESS AND SNARES OF THE DEVIL.
THE BLESSING ITSELF ADJURES CHRIS TO KICK SATAN AND WHATEVER HIS MINIONS ARE OFF THE PROPERTY, BY THE OWNER OF THE PROPERTY GIVING US THE AUTHORITY AND LEGAL RIGHT TO DO SO.
All: DEFEND US IN BATTLE.
BE OUR PROTECTOR AGAINST THE WICKEDNESS AND SNARES OF THE DEVIL, AND ALL THE OTHER EVIL SPIRITS WHO PROWL THROUGH THE WORLD.
LEE! LEE! Kenneth: KEEP PRAYING, KEEP PRAYING! I COULDN'T BREATHE, AND I FELT LIKE I WAS CHOKING.
All: SAINT MICHAEL Narrator: WHILE EXPERTS ATTEMP TO EVICT A DEMON FROM LEE AND CLAIRE'S HOME, LEE COMES UNDER ATTACK.
LEE! Kenneth: KEEP PRAYING, KEEP PRAYING! All: SAINT MICHAEL, THE ARCHANGEL, DEFEND US IN BATTLE.
BE OUR PROTECTION AGAINST THE WICKEDNESS AND SNARES OF THE DEVIL AND ALL THE OTHER EVIL SPIRITS WHO PROWL THROUGH THE WORLD, SEEKING TO LURE OUR SOULS.
LEE? YOU'RE SAFE.
IT'S GONE.
THANK YOU.
THE FEELING WAS AMAZING.
FEELING LIKE, "OH, MY GOSH.
YOU KNOW, WE GOT OUR HOUSE HERE.
" IT JUST FELT CLEARER.
SO, I DON'T UNDERSTAND.
WHAT HAPPENED? WAS IT SOMETHING THAT I DID? SOMETIMES WE UNKNOWINGLY LET THESE THINGS IN.
HAVE YOU EVER SOUGHT OU THE SPIRITUAL WORLD? NO.
WELL, WE DID THA EVP SESSION WITH LIDA, BUT THAT WAS AFTER THIS HAD ALREADY STARTED.
MAYBE IT WAS SOMEONE YOU KNOW, SOMEONE CLOSE TO YOU? DO YOU KNOW ANYONE IN THE OCCULT, OR WHO HAS EXPERIMENTED IN THE DARK ARTS? CHERYL.
WHO? YOU REMEMBER I TOLD YOU ABOUT MY EX-GIRLFRIEND? SHE HAD THAT REALLY WEIRD FRIEND THAT CLAIMED SHE WAS A WITCH? Kenneth: WHEN WE WERE TALKING TO LEE AND CLAIRE, WE REALIZED THAT LEE HAD A PAS WHERE HIS EX-GIRLFRIEND AND HER FRIEND WERE DABBLING IN THE DARK ARTS, WITCHCRAFT, THE WORLD OF BLACK MAGIC.
DO YOU KNOW OF ANY REASON YOUR GIRLFRIEND OR HER FRIEND WOULD WAN TO CAUSE YOU HARM? I DON'T KNOW ABOUT HER.
YEAH, WELL, YOU'RE NOT PERFECT, EITHER.
WHEN ALYSSA MET CHERYL, SOMETHING CHANGED.
SHE GOT MORE AGGRESSIVE WITH ME.
DO YOU REMEMBER ANYTHING GOING MISSING? SOMETHING THAT WAS IMPORTANT TO YOU? DID YOU WASH MY BASEBALL SHIRT? SHIRT? I HAVEN'T SEEN IT.
A SHIRT.
I HAD THIS SHIRT, THIS BASEBALL SHIRT.
I ASKED ALYSSA ABOUT IT, AND SHE JUST GOT WEIRD ALL OF A SUDDEN.
IT JUST WENT MISSING.
Kenneth: WE BELIEVED THA WITH THE RITUAL DONE WITH THE T-SHIR THAT WAS DONE BY HIS EX-GIRLFRIEND AND HER GIRLFRIEND USING BLACK MAGIC WAS DEFINITELY SOMETHING THAT CREATED LIKE A CURSE, AN ATTACHMENT, TO AFFECT LEE.
I BELIEVE YOU WERE CURSED.
Alyssa: THIS BETTER WORK.
I CAN'T STAND HAVING HIM AROUND MUCH LONGER.
THIS IS THE BEST WAY.
TRUST ME.
NOW, DID YOU DO WHAT I ASKED? WE NEED SOMETHING THAT'S MEANINGFUL TO HIM.
HERE.
PERFECT.
WE CALL UPON YOU.
DRIVE AWAY THIS MAN.
Both: WE CALL UPON YOU.
DRIVE AWAY THIS MAN.
WE CALL UPON YOU Lee: HEARING THAT FACT THA THEY SENT THIS THING AFTER ME -- IT'S KIND OF SHOCKING.
ALYSSA WENT FROM LOVING ME TO DEATH TO HATING ME WITHIN A SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME.
Claire: BUT WHY DID ALL OF THIS HAPPEN TO US? I NEVER EVEN KNEW ALYSSA.
Kenneth: WELL, THE CURSE WAS ATTACHED TO LEE, LAYING DORMANT.
BUT WHEN YOU TWO GOT MARRIED, IT BECAME ACTIVE AGAIN.
Kenneth: THE DEMON LAID DORMANT.
AND SOMETIMES, IT'LL JUS HIDE FOR THE RIGHT TIME.
WELL, IT WANTS A PERFEC OPPORTUNITY TO MESS THEM UP.
AND WHEN LEE MET CLAIRE, HE'S GOT A SHOT AT HAPPINESS.
HE'S GONNA BE A MAN.
HE'S GONNA RAISE A CHILD.
AND THAT'S THE OPPORTUNITY TO COME IN AND STEP IN.
THEY'RE VERY STRATEGIC.
DON'T WORRY.
YOU'RE SAFE NOW.
I'M SO SORRY.
IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT.
Narrator: OVER THE NEXT FEW MONTHS, THE COUPLE EXPERIENCES NO ACTIVITY.
Claire: I COULD BREATHE EASIER.
I FELT LIKE A HUGE FOG HAD JUST BEEN LIFTED ON THE HOUSE.
THE FEELING OF BEING WATCHED WASN'T THERE ANYMORE.
I COULD LIVE IN MY HOUSE AGAIN.
Claire: SHE'S MOVING A LOT TONIGHT.
-YEAH? -YEAH.
[ KNOCK ON DOOR .]
Narrator: ONE AFTERNOON, THE COUPLE GETS A SURPRISE VISIT FROM LIDA, WHO WAS THE FIRS PARANORMAL INVESTIGATOR TO COME TO THEIR HOME.
HEY, LIDA? WE'RE KIND OF IN THE MIDDLE OF SOMETHING, LIDA.
YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND.
THE DEMON IS STILL HERE.
I HAD A VISION.
WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? EVERYTHING'S BEEN FINE SINCE THEY DID THE CLEANSING.
YOU HAVE TO DO ANOTHER CLEANSING.
IT'S LAYING DORMANT.
I HAVE TO DO A CLEANSING.
WHEN LIDA SAID THAT, I WAS KIND OF TAKEN ABACK.
THE HOUSE STILL FELT CLEAR.
WE WERE STILL HAPPY.
NOTHING HAD CHANGED FROM WHEN THE CLEANSING HAD HAPPENED.
IT WAS DEFINITELY OFF-PUTTING.
I'LL STAR IN THE BACK BEDROOM.
OKAY.
Narrator: BUT WITH THEIR DAUGHTER ON THE WAY, LEE DOESN'T TAKE ANY CHANCES.
WHAT IF SHE'S RIGHT? SHE'S NOT RIGHT.
JUST LET HER GO, AND SHE'LL BE OUT OF HERE SOON.
Lee: MY TAKE ON IT WAS, THERE'S NEVER ENOUGH HELP.
WE WERE ABOUT A MONTH AND A HALF FROM OUR BABY BEING BORN, AND MY THING WAS, I DIDN' WANT ANYTHING HAPPENING.
Claire: AFTER LIDA LEFT, WE JUST KIND OF BRUSHED IT OFF.
WE HAD MORE IMPORTAN THINGS TO FOCUS ON.
THE BABY WAS COMING.
[ THUMPING .]
[ THUMPING .]
[ THUMP .]
[ SCREAMS .]
THIS IS MY HOUSE! YOU ARE NOT WELCOME HERE! DO YOU HEAR ME?! [ GAGGING .]
LEE?! LEE? LEE? LEE, WAKE UP! LEE, WAKE UP! Narrator: LEE MOORE APPEARS TO BE UNDER ATTACK BY A DEMONIC FORCE IN HIS HOME.
I NEED AN AMBULANCE! MY HUSBAND! I DON'T KNOW! PLEASE JUST HURRY! ALL I COULD THINK ABOU WAS THE FAC THAT I'M GONNA LOSE MY HUSBAND.
[ SIREN WAILS .]
Narrator: AT THE HOSPITAL, LEE IS RUSHED TO THE INTENSIVE CARE UNIT.
HIS LIVER AND KIDNEYS ARE SHUTTING DOWN, BUT THE DOCTORS HAVE NO MEDICAL EXPLANATION AS TO WHAT'S HAPPENING TO HIM.
CLAIRE, I'M AFRAID I DON'T HAVE GOOD NEWS.
WE'RE CONCERNED ABOUT HIM MAKING IT THROUGH THE NIGHT.
AND IF HE DOES, THERE'S A CHANCE THAT HE MAY HAVE SEVERE BRAIN DAMAGE.
I'M SORRY.
NO.
Narrator: HE IS PLACED IN A MEDICALLY-INDUCED COMA WHILE THEY SEARCH FOR ANSWERS.
I THOUGHT, "I'M GONNA HAVE TO RAISE THIS BABY ALONE.
" [ GASPS, GROANS .]
NURSE! GET ME A WHEELCHAIR, NOW! WE HAVE TO GET HER TO LABOR AND DELIVERY.
Claire: IN THAT MOMENT, WHEN THE DOCTOR TOLD ME THAT IT WASN'T LIKELY THAT HE WAS GOING TO LIVE, I WAS SO SHOCKED.
I FELT LIKE MY WORLD WAS DONE.
Narrator: HEARING THE NEWS, THE DEMONOLOGISTS FOLLOWING HIS CASE RUSH TO HIS SIDE TO PERFORM A DELIVERANCE.
THANK YOU.
IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER, THE SON, AND THE HOLY SPIRIT.
Farah: WHEN I SAW LEE, I WAS 100% SURE THAT THE DEMON HAD FOLLOWED HIM AND ATTACHED TO HIM, AND IT WAS GOING TO TAKE HIM ANY WAY IT COULD.
WE BOTH KNEW THA IF WE DID NOT INTERCEDE, LEE WAS GONNA DIE.
Kenneth: WE BLESSED HIM WITH OIL.
WE PUT A SAINT BENEDICT MEDAL ON HIS FOREHEAD AND ONE ON HIS CHEST.
AND I BROUGHT IN THE CROSS.
DELIVERING LEE FROM THIS THING WAS A HUGE FOCUS.
IT WAS LITERALLY ALMOS A DO-OR-DIE.
Both: FATHER IN HEAVEN, REBUKE THESE EVIL SPIRITS AND THEIR EFFECTS, AND CAST THEM AWAY FROM LEE.
FATHER, WE NOW PLACE HIS AND OUR ENEMIES INTO YOUR HANDS.
YOU ARE ALL-POWERFUL.
YOU ARE GOD.
YOU ARE OUR HEAVENLY FATHER.
WE BEG YOU THROUGH THE INTERCESSION OF THE ANGELS AND SAINTS, FOR THE DELIVERANCE OF LEE, WHO IS ENSLAVED BY THE EVIL ONE.
Farah: WHEN WE WITNESS SIGNS LIKE LEE'S EYES FLUTTERING, HIS BODY JERKING, THESE SIGNS ARE INDICATIVE THAT HIS SOUL IS IN A BATTLE, AND HE'S FIGHTING FOR HIS LIFE.
MAY GOD REBUKE YOU.
CAST SATAN INTO HELL! [ MONITOR BEEPING .]
IT'S GONE.
Woman: IS EVERYTHING OKAY? Farah: YES.
HE SEEMS TO BE IMPROVING, BUT I'M GOING TO GET THE DOCTOR.
Farah: IT WAS NOTHING SHORT OF MIRACULOUS.
WE WERE JUST SO AMAZED AND SO HAPPY AT THE SAME TIME.
LEE WAS DELIVERED BY GOD.
Narrator: OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS, LEE CONTINUES TO IMPROVE AND IS REUNITED WITH HIS WIFE, CLAIRE.
WHEN I WOKE UP, SEEING HER FOR THE FIRST TIME WAS LIKE, "WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN ALL MY LIFE?" IT WAS JUST LIKE I JUS CAME THROUGH THE GAUNTLE AND THERE SHE WAS, AND IT WAS JUST LIKE I'D SEEN HER FOR THE FIRST TIME.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SAVING HIM.
I STILL DON' UNDERSTAND, THOUGH.
EVERYTHING WAS GREAT.
Narrator: FARAH AND KENNETH RETURNED TO EXPLAIN WHAT THEY BELIEVE HAPPENED TO LEE.
CLAIRE TOLD US ABOUT LIDA COMING BACK TO THE HOUSE.
WE BELIEVE THAT AFTER THE CLEANSING WE PERFORMED, THE DEMON WAS INVITED BACK.
Claire: KEN AND FARAH SAID THAT THE DEMON WAS ABLE TO DO WHAT IT DID TO LEE BECAUSE OF THE CLEANSING THAT LIDA HAD DONE.
Kenneth: WE BELIEVE SHE BROUGHT IT BACK.
MIXING MANY RELIGIOUS BELIEFS WHILE DEALING WITH THE SPIRIT REALM, IT'S VERY DANGEROUS.
THE DEMON IS STILL HERE.
I HAVE TO DO A CLEANSING.
Kenneth: SHE WENT AHEAD AND PROCEEDED TO DO THESE METHODS THAT ARE CONSIDERED PAGAN.
AND WHEN LIDA DID THESE MIXED RITUALS, IT OPENED UP A CAN OF WORMS.
WHEN YOU USE METHODS THAT ARE CALLING TO OTHER GODS, YOU'RE OPENING YOURSELF UP TO MORE DEMONS.
SO, HOW DO WE KNOW THA IT WON'T COME BACK AGAIN? AS LONG AS YOU CONTINUE STEADFAS IN YOUR SPIRITUAL LIFE, YOU WON'T HAVE TO WORRY.
GOD IS PROTECTING YOU.
Lee: MY BELIEF IS WITHOU THE HELP OF KEN AND FARAH AND GOD WORKING THROUGH THEM AND WHAT THE DOCTORS DID, I WOULDN'T BE HERE.
'CAUSE WITH THEM EXPELLING THAT, GETTING IT OFF OF MY BODY, GETTING IT AWAY FROM MY SPIRIT, BASICALLY IT SAVED MY LIFE.
THIS IS THE BIGGES MIRACLE OF ALL.
MEET YOUR DAUGHTER.
THE MOMENT I HELD HER FOR THE FIRST TIME -- THAT'S A WHOLE DIFFERENT LOVE.
THIS WAS MY VICTORY.
I GOT TO HOLD MY DAUGHTER.
SHE'S PROBABLY THE BEST THING THAT'S EVER HAPPENED TO ME.
Claire: IT WAS DEFINITELY ONE OF THE BEST MOMENTS OF MY LIFE, SEEING MY HUSBAND, WHO I THOUGHT WAS GONE, HOLDING THE DAUGHTER THAT I DIDN'T THINK HE WAS GOING TO GET TO SEE.
Lee: NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE CAN SAY THAT THEY'VE LIVED THROUGH WHAT I WENT THROUGH.
AND CLAIRE, YOU KNOW, SHE STOOD BY MY SIDE THE WHOLE TIME.
WE CAME THROUGH THIS.
WE FACED THIS THING HEAD-ON, AND WE WON.
BUT AT THE SAME TIME YOU'RE THINKING, "I JUST FACED A DEMONIC SPIRI HEAD-ON.
"
THAT GIRL'S SO WEIRD.
I HEARD SHE WAS LIKE A WITCH.
DON'T WORRY.
HE'LL BE GONE SOON ENOUGH.
Narrator: FOR YEARS, HE'S PURSUED BY AN INVISIBLE TERROR.
LEE! I COULDN'T BREATHE.
AND I FELT LIKE I WAS CHOKING.
Narrator: AND NOW IT'S AFTER THOSE HE LOVES MOST.
I'M PREGNANT.
WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO? [ GASPS .]
I FELT TWO HANDS JUST PUSH ME.
WHAT CAN I DO TO PROTECT MY FAMILY? Narrator: IN AMERICA, THERE IS REAL EVIL.
IT LURKS IN THE DARKEST SHADOWS AND IN OUR MOST ORDINARY TOWNS.
BETWEEN THE WORLDS WE SEE SOMEONE IS IN MY ROOM.
AND THE THINGS WE FEAR [ SCREAMS .]
THERE ARE DOORS.
WHEN THEY ARE OPENED [ SCREAMS .]
Narrator: NIGHTMARES BECOME REALITY.
-- Captions by VITAC -- CAPTIONS PAID FOR BY DISCOVERY COMMUNICATIONS IN 2007, LEE MOORE BEGINS HAVING TERRIBLE NIGHTMARES.
LEE, WAKE UP.
YOU OKAY? [ SIGHS .]
I HAD THE CRAZIEST DREAM.
Lee: I STARTED HAVING THESE CRAZY DREAMS.
IN MY MIND, I HAD THE FEELING OF BEING WATCHED AND SOMETHING BEING RIGHT BEHIND YOU.
IT SOUNDED LIKE AIR MOVING.
BUT IT WAS ALMOS LIKE IT WAS HUMMING, AND IT WAS KIND OF LIKE A SHRIEK.
Narrator: BUT HIS GIRLFRIEND, ALYSSA, IS LESS THAN SYMPATHETIC.
DID YOU PICK UP THE COFFEE? I'M SORRY.
I WASN'T FEELING WELL.
-I CAME STRAIGHT HOME.
-GREAT.
JUST GREAT.
Lee: WHEN ALYSSA AND I STARTED DATING, I WAS 18.
IT WAS A GOOD RELATIONSHIP, YOU KNOW.
WE WERE SUPPORTIVE OF EACH OTHER.
I DID SEE US HAVING A FUTURE TOGETHER.
I WAS PRAYING FOR A LONG, LASTING RELATIONSHIP.
Narrator: FOR THE PAST FEW WEEKS, ALYSSA HAS BEEN ARGUING WITH HIM ABOUT PETTY THINGS.
HEY, WHAT'S WRONG? I JUST ASKED YOU TO DO ONE THING.
ONE THING.
BABY, NOW, LOOK, I KNOW I SCREWED UP.
I'LL MAKE IT UP TO YOU.
I PROMISE.
YOU BET YOU WILL.
DON'T YOU HAVE WORK TODAY? YEAH.
I GOTTA GO.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING TODAY? WELL, CHERYL'S COMING OVER SOON.
CHERYL? Lee: ONCE SHE STARTED HANGING OUT WITH CHERYL, HER ATTITUDE TOWARDS ME KIND OF STARTED TO GET A LITTLE BIT MORE SOUR.
ALYSSA JUS BASICALLY DID A 180 TURN.
SHE WENT FROM, YOU KNOW, HUMBLE, NICE, CARING TO VERY DARK, IRRITABLE.
I DON'T KNOW WHY YOU HANG OU WITH HER.
THAT GIRL'S SO WEIRD.
I HEARD SHE WAS LIKE A WITCH.
I LIKE HER.
SHE UNDERSTANDS ME.
ALYSSA TOLD ME CHERYL WAS A SELF-PROCLAIMED WITCH.
I'M LIKE, "WHAT DO YOU MEAN, WITCH? WITCHCRAFT, DARK MAGIC?" "YEAH, SHE'S PAR OF A COVEN IN THIS AREA.
THERE'S A LOT OF THEM.
" AND I'M THINKING, "WHY ARE YOU HANGING OUT WITH HER?" THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT HER.
WELL, GET USED TO IT.
SHE'S MY FRIEND, AND SHE LISTENS TO ME.
MAYBE YOU SHOULD TRY THAT.
LOOK, I KNOW I'VE BEEN WORKING A LOT LATELY, BUT IT IS ALL FOR US.
I GOTTA GET READY.
BUT I'LL MAKE DINNER TONIGHT.
I PROMISE.
Narrator: OVER THE NEXT FEW WEEKS, ALYSSA AND HER NEW FRIEND BEGIN HANGING OUT MORE AND MORE.
I DON'T KNOW WHY YOU LIKE HIM.
HE DOESN'T EVEN APPRECIATE YOU.
I KNOW.
I JUST DON'T HAVE THE HEART TO BREAK UP WITH HIM.
YEAH, DON'T WORRY.
HE'LL BE GONE SOON ENOUGH.
I JUST DON'T THINK WE DID THE RIGHT THING.
WE CALL UPON YOU.
WE DID THE RIGHT THING.
YOU TWO AREN'T MEAN FOR EACH OTHER.
JUST GIVE IT TIME.
I GUESS.
TRUST ME.
THIS IS GONNA WORK.
Lee: I WAS DRIVING HOME, AND I PULLED IN THE DRIVEWAY.
THEN I SAW SOMETHING FLOATING ABOVE THE HOUSE.
IT DIDN'T HAVE A SHAPE.
IT WAS JUST A BIG, BLACK MASS.
AND ALL OF A SUDDEN, I GOT THIS REALLY TWISTY FEELING IN MY STOMACH.
ARE YOU OKAY? WHAT HAPPENED? I SAW THIS BLACK THING ABOVE THE HOUSE.
WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? THERE'S NOTHING THERE.
I KNOW WHAT I SAW.
CHERYL, I'LL GIVE YOU A CALL TOMORROW.
COME ON.
LET'S GET YOU INSIDE.
Lee: WELL, CHERYL, HER ATTITUDE TOWARDS ME WAS KIND OF WEIRD.
BUT THE FEELING WAS MUTUAL.
JUST SOMETHING ABOUT HER RUBBED ME WRONG.
I DON'T KNOW ABOUT HER.
SHE GIVES ME THE CREEPS.
YEAH, WELL, YOU'RE NOT PERFECT, EITHER.
HER DEMEANOR WAS DARK.
SOMETHING WASN'T RIGHT.
Narrator: BUT CHERYL'S PRESENCE IS NOT THE ONLY THING GIVING LEE THE CREEPS.
Lee: THE FEELING THAT I HAD FOR THE NEXT COUPLE DAYS WAS SOMETHING WAS NO RIGHT IN THE HOUSE.
ALYSSA? LEE! UGH! WATCH WHERE YOU'RE GOING.
I'M SORRY.
WERE YOU IN THE OTHER ROOM? I THOUGHT I HEARD SOMEONE IN THERE.
WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU LATELY? YOU'RE SCARED OF EVERYTHING.
NO, I'M SERIOUS.
I HEARD SOMEONE IN THE ROOM.
Lee: ALYSSA, SHE WAS TELLING ME -- SHE WAS LIKE, "WELL, YOU'RE JUST IMAGINING IT.
" MAYBE I'M JUST TIRED.
HEY! DID YOU WASH MY BASEBALL SHIRT? YOU KNOW THE ONE, MY FAVORITE ONE? I CAN'T FIND IT ANYWHERE.
I HAD A SHIRT THA WAS ONE OF MY FAVORITE ONES FROM HIGH SCHOOL.
AND I ASKED ALYSSA, AND SHE'S LIKE, "I DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED WITH IT.
" SHIRT? NO, UM, I HAVEN'T SEEN IT.
HERE.
WHEN I ASKED HER, SHE HAD THIS VERY DECEIVING DEMEANOR ABOUT IT.
I'M GONNA BE LATE FOR WORK.
WE WERE BECOMING DISTANT.
IT WAS VERY EVIDENT.
SHE DIDN'T TALK TO ME LIKE SHE USED TO, YOU KNOW? SHE DIDN'T SEEM LIKE THE PERSON THAT I'D FALLEN IN LOVE WITH.
Narrator: AS TIME GOES BY, LEE GROWS MORE CONCERNED ABOUT HIS RELATIONSHIP.
Lee: I COULDN'T PU MY FINGER ON IT, YOU KNOW? I'M TRYING TO FIGURE OUT, YOU KNOW, WHAT'S GOING ON HERE.
ALYSSA, I THOUGH YOU WENT TO BED.
I THOUGHT, "SOMEBODY'S TRYING TO BREAK IN.
SOMEBODY'S TRYING TO STEAL SOMETHING.
" I GRABBED A GUN, WENT TO THE FRONT, AND I LOADED IT, COCKED IT.
I WASN'T GONNA LET THAT HAPPEN.
GET OUT OF HERE! I'LL SHOOT! THE BULLETS WERE GOING RIGHT THROUGH IT.
AND IT JUST DIDN'T SEEM LIKE IT FAZED IT AT ALL.
GET OUT OF HERE! I'LL SHOOT! Narrator: LEE MOORE IS BEING HAUNTED BY AN INVISIBLE CREATURE.
STAY AWAY! I KNEW THE INTENT OF IT WAS, "I'M GOING TO KILL YOU.
YOU ARE NOT GONNA LIVE.
" I WAS FEARING FOR MY LIFE.
I THOUGHT THAT I WAS GONNA DIE RIGHT THERE.
I WOKE UP IN A COLD SWEAT.
I WAS VERY TERRIFIED.
Narrator: LEE CHOOSES NOT TO TELL HIS GIRLFRIEND, ALYSSA.
FOR THE PAST FEW MONTHS, SHE HASN'T SHOWN MUCH INTERES IN HIS WELL-BEING.
Lee: WE WERE BECOMING DISTANT.
IT WAS VERY EVIDENT.
SHE DIDN'T TALK TO ME LIKE SHE USED TO.
HER ATTITUDE TOWARDS ME WAS VERY SOUR.
SHE WOULD IGNORE ME.
AND AT THAT POINT, I WAS STARTING TO GIVE UP.
Narrator: IN EARLY 2007, THE COUPLE GOES THEIR SEPARATE WAYS.
SHE SEEMED RELIEVED THAT I WAS DONE.
AFTER ALYSSA AND I SPLIT, I MOVED BACK TO ST.
LOUIS.
I WAS LIKE, "YOU KNOW, I'M GONNA FOCUS ON MYSELF RIGHT NOW, TRY TO MAKE SOMETHING OF MYSELF.
" Narrator: AND ONE DAY, A NEW WOMAN ENTERS HIS LIFE.
HEY, BABE.
HEY.
I BROUGHT YOU A DRINK.
THANK YOU.
-THAT LOOKS GOOD.
-LOOKS GOOD, RIGHT? Narrator: AFTER DATING ONLY A FEW MONTHS, THE COUPLE GETS MARRIED.
YOU WANNA TAKE A BREAK? SURE.
Lee: I MET CLAIRE.
AND WHEN I MET HER, I FIGURED OUT WHAT I WANTED.
AND WITH CLAIRE, IT JUST SEEMED LIKE IT WAS ALL THERE.
I FELL IN LOVE WITH HER.
YOU KNOW, THEY SAY, "LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT'S NOT REAL.
" YEAH, IT IS.
YOU TIRED? YEAH.
IT'S REALLY COMING TOGETHER, THOUGH.
WHAT I LOVE ABOUT LEE IS HE'S JUST SO SWEET.
WE WERE READY FOR A SERIOUS RELATIONSHIP.
WE WERE READY TO SETTLE DOWN.
WE WERE READY TO HAVE CHILDREN IN THE FUTURE.
I JUST CAN'T BELIEVE THAT IT'S ALL OURS.
IT'S ALL OURS.
EVEN THE BROKEN FURNACE AND THE DISHWASHER THA NEVER WORKS, BUT IT'S OURS.
WELL, I THINK THA THE DISHWASHER IS PERFECT.
PLUS, IF IT BREAKS, YOU CAN JUST DO THE DISHES.
OH, I CAN DO THEM? MM-HMM.
Claire: GETTING THE HOUSE, THAT WAS DEFINITELY THE START OF OUR NEW BEGINNING TOGETHER, OUR CHANCE TO BE A FAMILY OF OUR OWN.
Narrator: OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS, THE NEWLYWEDS SETTLE INTO THEIR HOME.
Claire: GUESS WHAT I JUST FOUND.
ALL OF OUR ENGAGEMENT PHOTOS.
NICE, NICE! YOU GOT MY FAVORITE ONE IN THERE? -YES.
-THAT'S IT.
Lee: THEN I START HEARING KNOCKS.
AND FOR ME, THEY SEEMED KIND OF ODD.
[ THUMPING .]
WHAT WAS THAT? IT SOUNDED LIKE A FIST.
SOMEBODY WAS KNOCKING.
BUT IT WAS COMING FROM INSIDE THE HOUSE.
IT WAS PROBABLY JUST THE FURNACE.
YOU KNOW IT'S ON ITS LAST LEG.
[ THUMPING .]
[ THUMPING .]
[ GASPS .]
[ BOTH LAUGH .]
ARE YOU OKAY? I'M OKAY.
DID YOU FIGURE OU THE NOISE? NO, I CAN'T HEAR IT COMING FROM ANYWHERE NOW.
WELL, I'M SURE IT'S JUST THE PIPES.
I'M SURE YOU'RE RIGHT.
[ LAUGHS .]
COME ON.
HONEY, I'M EXHAUSTED.
ME TOO.
Claire: I FIGURED IT WAS JUST AN OLD HOUSE, YOU KNOW, PIPES, HOUSE SETTLING, THE WIND, EVEN.
SO WE BRUSHED IT OFF.
[ OBJECTS CLATTERING .]
[ GLASS SHATTERS .]
Lee: I HEARD A BIG CRASH IN THE FRONT ROOM.
AND I'M THINKING, "OH, MY GOD.
SOMEBODY JUST BROKE IN.
" CLAIRE.
I HEARD SOMETHING.
WHAT? [ GLASS SHATTERS .]
THAT THING'S BEEN IN THE HOUSE.
STAY HERE.
Narrator: LEE MOORE IS BEING TERRORIZED BY SOMETHING, OR SOMEONE, IN HIS NEW HOME.
Lee: THE COFFEE TABLE GOT PICKED UP AND SLID.
I WAS VERY TERRIFIED.
THAT WAS THE MOST SCARED I'D EVER BEEN IN MY LIFE AT THAT POINT, 'CAUSE I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WAS HAPPENING.
LEE?! YOU OKAY?! JUST BY THE LOOK OF HIM, I KNEW THAT SOMETHING WAS DEFINITELY, DEFINITELY NOT RIGHT.
THE COFFEE TABLE FLIPPED OVER ON ITS OWN.
SOMEONE WAS IN THE HOUSE? I DON'T KNOW! I DIDN'T SEE ANYONE! OKAY, JUST CALM DOWN.
YOU'RE NOT MAKING ANY SENSE.
THE TABLE FLIPPED OVER ON ITS OWN! HOW DOES THAT HAPPEN?! SOMETHING WEIRD IS GOING ON HERE! WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? I FEEL LIKE THERE'S A PRESENCE IN THIS HOUSE OR SOMETHING.
LIKE IT'S HAUNTED? I WAS OPEN-MINDED TO THE PARANORMAL, BUT I DIDN'T SIT AROUND AND THINK, YOU KNOW, "OH, MY HOUSE IS HAUNTED.
" Lee: CLAIRE'S REACTION WAS KIND OF A BLANK STARE AT ME, LIKE, "DID YOU JUS SERIOUSLY SAY 'PARANORMAL'?" I DON'T KNOW, BUT I KNOW WHAT I SAW, CLAIRE.
Narrator: OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS, LEE'S ANXIETY GROWS.
Lee: IT WAS STRESSFUL.
THE FEELING OF THIS HOUSE WHEN WE WERE IN IT, YOU COULD CUT THE TENSION WITH A KNIFE.
THERE WAS LIKE A BLACK CLOUD OVER IT.
AT THE TIME, I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO THINK.
Narrator: THE COUPLE DESPERATELY TRIES TO CARRY ON WITH LIFE AS USUAL.
-HERE YOU GO.
-THANK YOU.
MM-HMM.
HEY, SO, MY MOM CALLED.
SHE SAID THEY'RE THINKING ABOUT COMING DOWN FOR A BIT.
THAT'D BE GREAT.
MAYBE THEY COULD STAY FOR A MONTH THIS TIME.
[ LAUGHS .]
I'M JUST KIDDING.
MM-HMM.
I LOVE YOUR PARENTS.
I'M GONNA CLEAN THIS STUFF UP.
WOULD YOU MIND GETTING ME THE RAKE FROM OVER THERE? YEAH, SURE.
APPRECIATE IT.
Claire: WHEN I GOT TO THE SHED, I STARTED TO FEEL LIKE SOMETHING'S WATCHING ME.
[ GASPS .]
AAH! I FELT TWO HANDS JUST PUSH ME, LIKE A GROWN MAN'S HANDS.
AND I DID NOT TRIP.
THERE WAS NOTHING FOR ME TO TRIP OVER.
IT FREAKED ME OUT.
WHAT HAPPENED? SOMETHING PUSHED ME.
THERE'S NOTHING HERE.
I'M TELLING YOU, TWO HANDS PUSHED ME.
CLAIRE'S DEMEANOR WAS VERY UPSET.
SHE WAS TERRORIZED.
SHE'S LIKE, "HOW COULD THIS HAPPEN?" I BELIEVE YOU.
LET'S GET YOU INSIDE.
IT'S VERY TERRIFYING, BUT IT ALSO MAKES YOU FEEL HELPLESS.
YOU KNOW, I TOOK A VOW TO PROTECT MY WIFE AND EVERYTHING, BUT I COULDN'T PROTECT HER FROM THAT.
IT WAS AN EYE-OPENER.
Narrator: LEE DECIDES TO TAKE ACTION AND RESEARCH PARANORMAL INVESTIGATORS.
THAT WAS A REALIZATION FOR ME.
THIS IS NOT GOOD.
I TOLD CLAIRE, "WE'RE GONNA GET TO THE BOTTOM OF IT.
WE'RE GONNA FIGURE IT OUT.
YOU KNOW, WE MADE IT THIS FAR.
WE'VE BEEN THROUGH A LOT SO FAR.
WE'RE GONNA PULL THROUGH THIS.
" SO, I GOT TO LOOKING UP TEAMS IN THE AREA.
Claire: LATER THAT EVENING, I WAS TAKING A BATH 'CAUSE I NEEDED TO CALM DOWN.
AFTER I GOT PUSHED DOWN, I REALIZED THAT THIS PROBABLY IS NOT SOMETHING TO BE PLAYING AROUND WITH.
I STARTED TO THINK, "IF IT'S ABLE TO PUSH ME DOWN, WHAT ELSE WILL IT DO? AM I SAFE TO BE ALONE IN THE HOUSE?" [ WOOD CREAKING .]
HONEY? AND I STARTED TO HAVE THIS UNEASY FEELING.
[ CREAKING .]
LEE? YOU'RE SCARING ME.
LEE? [ SCREAMS .]
LEE? Narrator: CLAIRE MOORE HAS SENSED A TERRIFYING BEING IN HER HOUSE.
[ CLAIRE SCREAMS .]
[ GASPS .]
LEE! LEE! CLAIRE, WHAT HAPPENED? I SAW IT.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN, "IT"? IT WAS IN THE BATHROOM.
WHAT "IT"? WHAT DO YOU MEAN? WHAT WAS "IT"? IT WAS LIKE THIS BLACK FIGURE WITH YELLOW EYES.
THE FIGURE WAS TALL, AND IT WAS DEFINITELY MASCULINE.
IT HAD A HUMAN FACE WITH YELLOW EYES THAT JUST GLOWED.
YOU MEAN LIKE THE THING I SAW IN MY DREAMS? CLAIRE AND I REALIZED WE WERE BOTH SEEING THE SAME THING.
Claire: THAT REALIZATION STARTED TO MAKE ME FEAR FOR MY LIFE.
I HAVE TO TELL YOU SOMETHING.
WHAT? I'M PREGNANT.
YOU'RE PREGNANT? HEY, THIS IS GOOD.
THIS IS GREAT NEWS.
WE WANTED THIS.
THIS IS GREAT.
NOT LIKE THIS.
Lee: I WAS HAPPY.
I WAS EXCITED.
BUT AT THE SAME TIME, I WAS FEARFUL.
WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO? WHAT CAN I DO TO PROTECT MY FAMILY? I WAS NOT GOING TO GIVE UP ON THIS.
I WAS GOING TO MAKE SURE MY CHILD CAME INTO A HAPPY, HEALTHY HOUSEHOLD, THAT SHE DID NO HAVE TO LIVE IN FEAR.
Narrator: WASTING NO TIME, THE COUPLE INVITES A LOCAL PARANORMAL EXPER TO INVESTIGATE THE HOUSE.
HI.
Lee: WHEN I MET LIDA, JUST SOMETHING RUBBED ME REALLY WRONG WITH HER.
SHE HAD THIS WEIRD LOOK TO HER, KIND OF LIKE A DARK FEELING WITH HER.
-I'M LEE, AND THIS IS MY -- -Shh.
I NEED SILENCE.
Lee: BUT SHE'S AN INVESTIGATOR.
SHE KNOWS WHAT SHE'S DOING.
SHE'S HERE TO HELP.
SO I LOOKED AT CLAIRE.
I'M LIKE, "YOU KNOW WHAT? WE'RE GONNA TRUST HER.
" WE NEED TO DO AN EVP SESSION.
THIS WAY.
AND WE STARTED TO AN EVP SESSION/ COMMUNICATING WITH I TO SEE IF IT WAS THERE.
Lida: WHEN I PASS YOU THE RECORDER, YOU MUST ASK THE ENTITY A QUESTION.
LET US BEGIN.
ARE YOU HUMAN IN NATURE? ARE YOU WITH THIS HOUSE? WHY DID YOU HURT ME? ARE YOU DEMONIC? BABE? Claire: LEE DIDN'T LOOK LIKE HE FELT WELL.
HE LOOKED LIKE HE MIGHT THROW UP.
-ARE YOU OKAY? -LEE? LEE, CAN YOU HEAR ME? LEE? WHAT'S HAPPENING?! LEE.
LEE.
CAN YOU HEAR US? [ Raspy voice .]
I DON'T KNOW.
AND IN A RASPY, GROWL-SOUNDING VOICE, HE SAID, "I DON'T KNOW.
" THAT VOICE WASN' MY HUSBAND'S VOICE.
LEE?! WHAT HAPPENED? Lee: ALL OF A SUDDEN, I GOT THIS REALLY TWISTING FEELING IN MY STOMACH, AND I FELT NUMB.
WHAT HAPPENED? YOU WERE LIKE A DIFFERENT PERSON.
THIS IS MORE SERIOUS THAN I INITIALLY EXPECTED.
I BELIEVE WHAT YOU HAVE HERE IS DEMONIC.
DEMONIC? SHE SAID, "YOU GUYS HAVE GO A FULL-ON DEMONIC CASE.
" A BENEVOLENT SPIRI WOULDN'T HAVE THE POWER TO ATTACK LEE LIKE THIS.
I WILL FIND SOMEONE TO DO A CLEANSING.
SOMEONE FROM THE CHURCH.
Lee: THE FEELING I HAD WHEN I HEARD THAT -- MY STOMACH DROPPED.
MY BODY WENT NUMB.
Claire: HEARING THE WORD "DEMON", NOT GHOST, NOT SPIRIT, BUT "DEMON", THAT THIS WHOLE THING WAS A DEMONIC ENTITY THAT WAS TERRORIZING US, IT SENT CHILLS DOWN MY SPINE.
Narrator: LIDA SENDS DEMONOLOGISTS TO INVESTIGATE THE PROPERTY.
Kenneth: MY NAME IS KENNETH DEEL, AND I'M A ROMAN CATHOLIC DEMONOLOGIST.
WE ARE RECOGNIZED BY THE LOCAL DIOCESE, AND WE TRAIN AND ADVISE PRIESTS AROUND THE UNITED STATES AND ABROAD.
IT'S HERE.
AND IT'S PRESENCE IS STRONG.
MY STOMACH CLUTCHED, AND MY THROAT CLUTCHED.
USUALLY, THIS SORT OF PHYSICAL REACTION IS MY FIRST INDICATOR THAT SOMETHING'S WRONG.
Claire: THIS IS WHERE WE HAD THE EVP SESSION WITH LIDA.
AND IT'S ALSO WHERE LEE WAS ATTACKED FOR THE FIRST TIME.
IT HAPPENED RIGHT HERE.
Claire: KEN AND FARAH AGREED AFTER WALKING THROUGH THE PROPERTY AND AROUND THE HOUSE THAT THIS DEFINITELY WAS A DEMONIC ENTITY.
AND THEY NEEDED TO DO A CLEANSING IMMEDIATELY, NOT ONLY BECAUSE IT WAS DEMONIC, BUT BECAUSE I WAS PREGNANT.
THAT MADE THE ISSUE EVEN MORE PRESSING.
THESE WILL HELP PROTECT YOU.
Kenneth: I'LL NEED YOU TO REMAIN IN CONSTANT PRAYER WITH US.
YOU HAVE TO RECLAIM YOUR HOME.
YOU HAVE TO TAKE A STANCE.
SAINT MICHAEL, THE ARCHANGEL, DEFEND US IN BATTLE.
BE OUR PROTECTION AGAINST THE WICKEDNESS AND SNARES OF THE DEVIL.
All: THRUST INTO HELL SATAN AND ALL THE OTHER EVIL SPIRITS.
Farah: WHAT A CLEANSING INVOLVES IS THE ABSOLUTE EXPULSION OF ANY NEGATIVITY OR ANYTHING THAT COULD POSSIBLY HARM THE FAMILY.
All: WICKEDNESS AND SNARES OF THE DEVIL.
THE BLESSING ITSELF ADJURES CHRIS TO KICK SATAN AND WHATEVER HIS MINIONS ARE OFF THE PROPERTY, BY THE OWNER OF THE PROPERTY GIVING US THE AUTHORITY AND LEGAL RIGHT TO DO SO.
All: DEFEND US IN BATTLE.
BE OUR PROTECTOR AGAINST THE WICKEDNESS AND SNARES OF THE DEVIL, AND ALL THE OTHER EVIL SPIRITS WHO PROWL THROUGH THE WORLD.
LEE! LEE! Kenneth: KEEP PRAYING, KEEP PRAYING! I COULDN'T BREATHE, AND I FELT LIKE I WAS CHOKING.
All: SAINT MICHAEL Narrator: WHILE EXPERTS ATTEMP TO EVICT A DEMON FROM LEE AND CLAIRE'S HOME, LEE COMES UNDER ATTACK.
LEE! Kenneth: KEEP PRAYING, KEEP PRAYING! All: SAINT MICHAEL, THE ARCHANGEL, DEFEND US IN BATTLE.
BE OUR PROTECTION AGAINST THE WICKEDNESS AND SNARES OF THE DEVIL AND ALL THE OTHER EVIL SPIRITS WHO PROWL THROUGH THE WORLD, SEEKING TO LURE OUR SOULS.
LEE? YOU'RE SAFE.
IT'S GONE.
THANK YOU.
THE FEELING WAS AMAZING.
FEELING LIKE, "OH, MY GOSH.
YOU KNOW, WE GOT OUR HOUSE HERE.
" IT JUST FELT CLEARER.
SO, I DON'T UNDERSTAND.
WHAT HAPPENED? WAS IT SOMETHING THAT I DID? SOMETIMES WE UNKNOWINGLY LET THESE THINGS IN.
HAVE YOU EVER SOUGHT OU THE SPIRITUAL WORLD? NO.
WELL, WE DID THA EVP SESSION WITH LIDA, BUT THAT WAS AFTER THIS HAD ALREADY STARTED.
MAYBE IT WAS SOMEONE YOU KNOW, SOMEONE CLOSE TO YOU? DO YOU KNOW ANYONE IN THE OCCULT, OR WHO HAS EXPERIMENTED IN THE DARK ARTS? CHERYL.
WHO? YOU REMEMBER I TOLD YOU ABOUT MY EX-GIRLFRIEND? SHE HAD THAT REALLY WEIRD FRIEND THAT CLAIMED SHE WAS A WITCH? Kenneth: WHEN WE WERE TALKING TO LEE AND CLAIRE, WE REALIZED THAT LEE HAD A PAS WHERE HIS EX-GIRLFRIEND AND HER FRIEND WERE DABBLING IN THE DARK ARTS, WITCHCRAFT, THE WORLD OF BLACK MAGIC.
DO YOU KNOW OF ANY REASON YOUR GIRLFRIEND OR HER FRIEND WOULD WAN TO CAUSE YOU HARM? I DON'T KNOW ABOUT HER.
YEAH, WELL, YOU'RE NOT PERFECT, EITHER.
WHEN ALYSSA MET CHERYL, SOMETHING CHANGED.
SHE GOT MORE AGGRESSIVE WITH ME.
DO YOU REMEMBER ANYTHING GOING MISSING? SOMETHING THAT WAS IMPORTANT TO YOU? DID YOU WASH MY BASEBALL SHIRT? SHIRT? I HAVEN'T SEEN IT.
A SHIRT.
I HAD THIS SHIRT, THIS BASEBALL SHIRT.
I ASKED ALYSSA ABOUT IT, AND SHE JUST GOT WEIRD ALL OF A SUDDEN.
IT JUST WENT MISSING.
Kenneth: WE BELIEVED THA WITH THE RITUAL DONE WITH THE T-SHIR THAT WAS DONE BY HIS EX-GIRLFRIEND AND HER GIRLFRIEND USING BLACK MAGIC WAS DEFINITELY SOMETHING THAT CREATED LIKE A CURSE, AN ATTACHMENT, TO AFFECT LEE.
I BELIEVE YOU WERE CURSED.
Alyssa: THIS BETTER WORK.
I CAN'T STAND HAVING HIM AROUND MUCH LONGER.
THIS IS THE BEST WAY.
TRUST ME.
NOW, DID YOU DO WHAT I ASKED? WE NEED SOMETHING THAT'S MEANINGFUL TO HIM.
HERE.
PERFECT.
WE CALL UPON YOU.
DRIVE AWAY THIS MAN.
Both: WE CALL UPON YOU.
DRIVE AWAY THIS MAN.
WE CALL UPON YOU Lee: HEARING THAT FACT THA THEY SENT THIS THING AFTER ME -- IT'S KIND OF SHOCKING.
ALYSSA WENT FROM LOVING ME TO DEATH TO HATING ME WITHIN A SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME.
Claire: BUT WHY DID ALL OF THIS HAPPEN TO US? I NEVER EVEN KNEW ALYSSA.
Kenneth: WELL, THE CURSE WAS ATTACHED TO LEE, LAYING DORMANT.
BUT WHEN YOU TWO GOT MARRIED, IT BECAME ACTIVE AGAIN.
Kenneth: THE DEMON LAID DORMANT.
AND SOMETIMES, IT'LL JUS HIDE FOR THE RIGHT TIME.
WELL, IT WANTS A PERFEC OPPORTUNITY TO MESS THEM UP.
AND WHEN LEE MET CLAIRE, HE'S GOT A SHOT AT HAPPINESS.
HE'S GONNA BE A MAN.
HE'S GONNA RAISE A CHILD.
AND THAT'S THE OPPORTUNITY TO COME IN AND STEP IN.
THEY'RE VERY STRATEGIC.
DON'T WORRY.
YOU'RE SAFE NOW.
I'M SO SORRY.
IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT.
Narrator: OVER THE NEXT FEW MONTHS, THE COUPLE EXPERIENCES NO ACTIVITY.
Claire: I COULD BREATHE EASIER.
I FELT LIKE A HUGE FOG HAD JUST BEEN LIFTED ON THE HOUSE.
THE FEELING OF BEING WATCHED WASN'T THERE ANYMORE.
I COULD LIVE IN MY HOUSE AGAIN.
Claire: SHE'S MOVING A LOT TONIGHT.
-YEAH? -YEAH.
[ KNOCK ON DOOR .]
Narrator: ONE AFTERNOON, THE COUPLE GETS A SURPRISE VISIT FROM LIDA, WHO WAS THE FIRS PARANORMAL INVESTIGATOR TO COME TO THEIR HOME.
HEY, LIDA? WE'RE KIND OF IN THE MIDDLE OF SOMETHING, LIDA.
YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND.
THE DEMON IS STILL HERE.
I HAD A VISION.
WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? EVERYTHING'S BEEN FINE SINCE THEY DID THE CLEANSING.
YOU HAVE TO DO ANOTHER CLEANSING.
IT'S LAYING DORMANT.
I HAVE TO DO A CLEANSING.
WHEN LIDA SAID THAT, I WAS KIND OF TAKEN ABACK.
THE HOUSE STILL FELT CLEAR.
WE WERE STILL HAPPY.
NOTHING HAD CHANGED FROM WHEN THE CLEANSING HAD HAPPENED.
IT WAS DEFINITELY OFF-PUTTING.
I'LL STAR IN THE BACK BEDROOM.
OKAY.
Narrator: BUT WITH THEIR DAUGHTER ON THE WAY, LEE DOESN'T TAKE ANY CHANCES.
WHAT IF SHE'S RIGHT? SHE'S NOT RIGHT.
JUST LET HER GO, AND SHE'LL BE OUT OF HERE SOON.
Lee: MY TAKE ON IT WAS, THERE'S NEVER ENOUGH HELP.
WE WERE ABOUT A MONTH AND A HALF FROM OUR BABY BEING BORN, AND MY THING WAS, I DIDN' WANT ANYTHING HAPPENING.
Claire: AFTER LIDA LEFT, WE JUST KIND OF BRUSHED IT OFF.
WE HAD MORE IMPORTAN THINGS TO FOCUS ON.
THE BABY WAS COMING.
[ THUMPING .]
[ THUMPING .]
[ THUMP .]
[ SCREAMS .]
THIS IS MY HOUSE! YOU ARE NOT WELCOME HERE! DO YOU HEAR ME?! [ GAGGING .]
LEE?! LEE? LEE? LEE, WAKE UP! LEE, WAKE UP! Narrator: LEE MOORE APPEARS TO BE UNDER ATTACK BY A DEMONIC FORCE IN HIS HOME.
I NEED AN AMBULANCE! MY HUSBAND! I DON'T KNOW! PLEASE JUST HURRY! ALL I COULD THINK ABOU WAS THE FAC THAT I'M GONNA LOSE MY HUSBAND.
[ SIREN WAILS .]
Narrator: AT THE HOSPITAL, LEE IS RUSHED TO THE INTENSIVE CARE UNIT.
HIS LIVER AND KIDNEYS ARE SHUTTING DOWN, BUT THE DOCTORS HAVE NO MEDICAL EXPLANATION AS TO WHAT'S HAPPENING TO HIM.
CLAIRE, I'M AFRAID I DON'T HAVE GOOD NEWS.
WE'RE CONCERNED ABOUT HIM MAKING IT THROUGH THE NIGHT.
AND IF HE DOES, THERE'S A CHANCE THAT HE MAY HAVE SEVERE BRAIN DAMAGE.
I'M SORRY.
NO.
Narrator: HE IS PLACED IN A MEDICALLY-INDUCED COMA WHILE THEY SEARCH FOR ANSWERS.
I THOUGHT, "I'M GONNA HAVE TO RAISE THIS BABY ALONE.
" [ GASPS, GROANS .]
NURSE! GET ME A WHEELCHAIR, NOW! WE HAVE TO GET HER TO LABOR AND DELIVERY.
Claire: IN THAT MOMENT, WHEN THE DOCTOR TOLD ME THAT IT WASN'T LIKELY THAT HE WAS GOING TO LIVE, I WAS SO SHOCKED.
I FELT LIKE MY WORLD WAS DONE.
Narrator: HEARING THE NEWS, THE DEMONOLOGISTS FOLLOWING HIS CASE RUSH TO HIS SIDE TO PERFORM A DELIVERANCE.
THANK YOU.
IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER, THE SON, AND THE HOLY SPIRIT.
Farah: WHEN I SAW LEE, I WAS 100% SURE THAT THE DEMON HAD FOLLOWED HIM AND ATTACHED TO HIM, AND IT WAS GOING TO TAKE HIM ANY WAY IT COULD.
WE BOTH KNEW THA IF WE DID NOT INTERCEDE, LEE WAS GONNA DIE.
Kenneth: WE BLESSED HIM WITH OIL.
WE PUT A SAINT BENEDICT MEDAL ON HIS FOREHEAD AND ONE ON HIS CHEST.
AND I BROUGHT IN THE CROSS.
DELIVERING LEE FROM THIS THING WAS A HUGE FOCUS.
IT WAS LITERALLY ALMOS A DO-OR-DIE.
Both: FATHER IN HEAVEN, REBUKE THESE EVIL SPIRITS AND THEIR EFFECTS, AND CAST THEM AWAY FROM LEE.
FATHER, WE NOW PLACE HIS AND OUR ENEMIES INTO YOUR HANDS.
YOU ARE ALL-POWERFUL.
YOU ARE GOD.
YOU ARE OUR HEAVENLY FATHER.
WE BEG YOU THROUGH THE INTERCESSION OF THE ANGELS AND SAINTS, FOR THE DELIVERANCE OF LEE, WHO IS ENSLAVED BY THE EVIL ONE.
Farah: WHEN WE WITNESS SIGNS LIKE LEE'S EYES FLUTTERING, HIS BODY JERKING, THESE SIGNS ARE INDICATIVE THAT HIS SOUL IS IN A BATTLE, AND HE'S FIGHTING FOR HIS LIFE.
MAY GOD REBUKE YOU.
CAST SATAN INTO HELL! [ MONITOR BEEPING .]
IT'S GONE.
Woman: IS EVERYTHING OKAY? Farah: YES.
HE SEEMS TO BE IMPROVING, BUT I'M GOING TO GET THE DOCTOR.
Farah: IT WAS NOTHING SHORT OF MIRACULOUS.
WE WERE JUST SO AMAZED AND SO HAPPY AT THE SAME TIME.
LEE WAS DELIVERED BY GOD.
Narrator: OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS, LEE CONTINUES TO IMPROVE AND IS REUNITED WITH HIS WIFE, CLAIRE.
WHEN I WOKE UP, SEEING HER FOR THE FIRST TIME WAS LIKE, "WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN ALL MY LIFE?" IT WAS JUST LIKE I JUS CAME THROUGH THE GAUNTLE AND THERE SHE WAS, AND IT WAS JUST LIKE I'D SEEN HER FOR THE FIRST TIME.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SAVING HIM.
I STILL DON' UNDERSTAND, THOUGH.
EVERYTHING WAS GREAT.
Narrator: FARAH AND KENNETH RETURNED TO EXPLAIN WHAT THEY BELIEVE HAPPENED TO LEE.
CLAIRE TOLD US ABOUT LIDA COMING BACK TO THE HOUSE.
WE BELIEVE THAT AFTER THE CLEANSING WE PERFORMED, THE DEMON WAS INVITED BACK.
Claire: KEN AND FARAH SAID THAT THE DEMON WAS ABLE TO DO WHAT IT DID TO LEE BECAUSE OF THE CLEANSING THAT LIDA HAD DONE.
Kenneth: WE BELIEVE SHE BROUGHT IT BACK.
MIXING MANY RELIGIOUS BELIEFS WHILE DEALING WITH THE SPIRIT REALM, IT'S VERY DANGEROUS.
THE DEMON IS STILL HERE.
I HAVE TO DO A CLEANSING.
Kenneth: SHE WENT AHEAD AND PROCEEDED TO DO THESE METHODS THAT ARE CONSIDERED PAGAN.
AND WHEN LIDA DID THESE MIXED RITUALS, IT OPENED UP A CAN OF WORMS.
WHEN YOU USE METHODS THAT ARE CALLING TO OTHER GODS, YOU'RE OPENING YOURSELF UP TO MORE DEMONS.
SO, HOW DO WE KNOW THA IT WON'T COME BACK AGAIN? AS LONG AS YOU CONTINUE STEADFAS IN YOUR SPIRITUAL LIFE, YOU WON'T HAVE TO WORRY.
GOD IS PROTECTING YOU.
Lee: MY BELIEF IS WITHOU THE HELP OF KEN AND FARAH AND GOD WORKING THROUGH THEM AND WHAT THE DOCTORS DID, I WOULDN'T BE HERE.
'CAUSE WITH THEM EXPELLING THAT, GETTING IT OFF OF MY BODY, GETTING IT AWAY FROM MY SPIRIT, BASICALLY IT SAVED MY LIFE.
THIS IS THE BIGGES MIRACLE OF ALL.
MEET YOUR DAUGHTER.
THE MOMENT I HELD HER FOR THE FIRST TIME -- THAT'S A WHOLE DIFFERENT LOVE.
THIS WAS MY VICTORY.
I GOT TO HOLD MY DAUGHTER.
SHE'S PROBABLY THE BEST THING THAT'S EVER HAPPENED TO ME.
Claire: IT WAS DEFINITELY ONE OF THE BEST MOMENTS OF MY LIFE, SEEING MY HUSBAND, WHO I THOUGHT WAS GONE, HOLDING THE DAUGHTER THAT I DIDN'T THINK HE WAS GOING TO GET TO SEE.
Lee: NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE CAN SAY THAT THEY'VE LIVED THROUGH WHAT I WENT THROUGH.
AND CLAIRE, YOU KNOW, SHE STOOD BY MY SIDE THE WHOLE TIME.
WE CAME THROUGH THIS.
WE FACED THIS THING HEAD-ON, AND WE WON.
BUT AT THE SAME TIME YOU'RE THINKING, "I JUST FACED A DEMONIC SPIRI HEAD-ON.
