Haunted Live (2018) s01e02 Episode Script

Caught in the Crossfire

Good evening.
We're live in Gallatin, Tennessee, hometown of the Tennessee Wraith Chasers.
Tonight, Chris, Brannon, Doogie, Porter and Mike G.
will investigate a local hot spot with a bloody history of mass executions, a mysterious murder and a dark presence that lurks to this day.
Welcome to the palace theater.
This is haunted live.
I'm Jesse Blaze Snider.
Like you, I'm fascinated by the paranormal and looking forward to experiencing evidence live in real time.
Now, here's how it works.
Along with the best team of ghost hunters in the south, we have infrared cameras streaming now to travel channel's Facebook page.
Watch, and if you see something, leave a comment there or on our Twitter using #hauntedlive.
Now, McDaniel is in the command center and he'll show your comments.
For those watching online, he'll share your evidence analysis with the investigators inside.
The wraith chasers have investigated this haunted theater many times.
Tonight, they return to answer unresolved questions.
Here's what they'll be up against.
Now, Doogie, right before we rolled there was some crazy stuff going on in the basement.
Can you tell us what happened? It was craze down there.
I was trying to make contact with the own they're passed away years ago.
You just have to see the clip.
Are you looking for your son? All right, guys.
We'd like to do one thing before we go into places like this.
Let's do a big fist bump to the big man.
Let's do it.
Take us away, Porter.
Dear heavenly father, once again, we thank you, lord, for the many blessings and keeping us safe as we traveled here.
We ask you to watch over us and keep us safe continually as we face the wilds of the devil.
Most of all, we ask you save the lost.
In your holy name, amen.
Porter and Doogie are heading to the basement which is part of a civil war era tunnel system that runs under Gallatin.
It's cool.
What are you hoping to find? After all the bodies that were executed here many years ago, there's no telling what type of dark entities we could be dealing with inside the theater.
We could be dealing with a potential poltergeist.
These things have been known to levitate things, even throw things.
Some people say poltergeist are aggressive so we need to be careful.
It will be dangerous? Absolutely.
I hear you got a new team member just for today, Angel Leigh? That's right.
Angel has been known to communicate with some of these spirits so basically we're just hoping she can help us kind of unravel some of the mysteries of the palace tonight.
All right, Angel what is it you plan to do when you get in there? I'm known as a spiritual messenger.
My goal tonight is to walk through this beautiful palace theater and feel the energy of the home in hopes of helping these guys out during their investigation of being able to pick up spirits of that like to communicate.
Let's join Porter and Doogie live as they head into the basement of the haunted palace theater.
Hold your light down.
Can you see there? Here we are in the basement.
Smells like a dirty basement, doesn't it? oh, let me get away from Off? Man, it's creepy down here.
Turn on this periscope real quick in case there's any static energy down here.
Want to get that on.
I got k-2 I want to set up.
These used to be the underground tunnels here, like when they used to hang people in the square, this would be where they would move them in and out.
Man, they moved prisoners, slaves, everything through those tunnels.
They went all underneath Gallatin.
Between the jail, the courthouse.
Whoa.
I'm going to turn on this too and have it ready to go.
Doog, look, look.
Already fired up.
Wraith, is this you? Look at that, dude, wide open.
Okay.
Look at these checks.
You know, one of the big things about being right here on the square ooh.
Trace.
Family trace? It goes back to what I called dude, it sure does.
Mr.
Roth, are you still looking for your son? Look, this thing's pegging, dude, pegging.
Ah, dude, I've got the chills.
I know I talked to you earlier in the sweep.
Dude, look at this.
Thing's crazy.
Mr.
Roth, we know that this was your Jewel, your theater.
You loved it.
You built this for your daughter.
You know, you had this, was her inherit inheritance.
We know that before you were able to leave that to her, she died before you.
Are you still here waiting for her? Are you still trying to find her to give her, her inheritance? Are you looking for your son? Whoa, that was a direct hit.
Look, it's going crazy, dude, look at this.
We got family and trace, we got a direct hit here.
It goes back to earlier when I was asking.
His daughter's here but his son is not.
You know, one of the crazy things, too, you got so much spirit energy around here with the history of this place, with the Gallatin square.
You're talking about back in the days of the civil war, there were executions over here.
Wide open, dude.
You know, there was General Arthur Payne who executed people out on the square because of nothing.
Yep.
Just because of assumptions.
You have these tunnels and you have this theater connected to the Roth family.
Dude, something just went behind you.
You see a shadow? Yep.
Whoa.
Bill, is that whoa, back in that corner, I heard that.
Bill, is that you? Are you trying to communicate with us? Dude, my k-2 is going nuts.
Look at that.
Dude, there is still movement in that corner.
Look, look, look.
Oh, dude, you see that shadow? Where? Dude, it come right out of that corner again, dude, it just jetted out, like that's the first time we've ever seen a shadow come out of that corner.
No, it's not.
Mr.
Roth, we have people talking about a poltergeist here.
Are they mistaking you? Are you just trying to let them know that you're still around here? Is that what you're doing? Can you tell me that? Mr.
Roth dude, pegging, pegging.
I see it.
Pegging to red.
Did you hear that? What is that, dude? It's like something's tapping over there.
Mr.
Roth? Look at that, going crazy.
Every time we talk about.
Mr.
Roth, for some reason, we keep getting this noise.
All these checks, all these papers and stuff has got his name all over 'em.
Every one of these is signed by him, William Roth.
Was this signed by you? Was this signed by your son? He run this place for you, correct? Look.
K-2's going stupid, man.
You know, there's been a lot all right, Angel, there's a few things we're looking for in this stair well.
Years ago, it's claimed there was a young lady who lost her life.
We don't really know how.
Right here in the stairway.
And then Mr.
Roth, William Roth, he used to run this theater.
A lot of people have seen him, felt his presence.
Let's go check it out, see what we can find.
All right, let's go.
All right.
A little light on the subject.
All right.
Now, back in the day, this was the segregated stairway.
There were only certain people who had to come into this stairwell.
We're going to see what kind of activity we can get here.
I got a k-2.
I have a geophone that measures vibration and temperature.
And I have the measure which measures ems.
Oh.
We got stretched and do you see us as a threat? I instantly felt a female here.
And she does.
She's starting completely.
She's scared to death of men.
Really? Yes.
Don't be afraid of us, sweetie, we're not here to hurt you.
We're actually here to help.
So do you feel anxious here? I feel like my heart's beating out of my chest.
I don't feel that she made it completely up.
If it's okay with ya'll, I'd like to kind of show you what I feel.
Sure, absolutely.
She comes up, and she comes about halfway and then my breathing completely stops, like somebody grabbed my face, to where I couldn't scream, I couldn't breathe, I couldn't do anything.
My heart was beating out of my chest.
Whatever happened to her did not happen here, it happened outside, right outside the door.
That's the reason that nobody could see.
Nobody could help her.
Because nobody could see it.
Right.
Well, it was probably crowded.
I'm sure this was like a crowded area.
The ticket booth was right up here.
Everybody's trying to rush up, get in here to see the movie and, you know, somebody just swiped her maybe.
They come from the back and I do feel it was a male and I feel that she is threatened by other men because of that.
Because of the incident.
But she's saying something about a diner, that she was at the diner beforehand.
Did ya'll just hear that? Yeah, was that a door that moved? Sounded like a pretty loud thud or something.
Was that you? Can you do it again? I do pick up an initial N.
And it's like n-e-l so this could be half of a name, part of a name.
Sometimes they won't give me the full name.
But she's mentioning something about a diner, that she went to a diner and then she came here.
Well, you know, that's crazy because there actually is a diner very closeby.
I mean, obviously businesses change, relocate.
But this is a square.
This is the town square.
It's like at the center of Gallatin.
So definitely back in those days, there would have been a diner nearby.
She didn't make it though, all the way.
She didn't make it? That's really pitiful.
Coming up, we'll attempt to draw out the palace theater poltergeist further.
During the break, our live feed continues on travel channel's Facebook page so stay tuned.
Welcome back to haunted live.
The investigation continues here outside the haunted palace theater with wraith chaser Mike g.
At the evidence table.
Mike, what have you already seen tonight? Before we even went live tonight, we're getting some flashlight activity in the main auditorium.
Check this out.
To me, this could be an intelligent haunting.
We've been here many times before.
Maybe whoever is lurking around in there remembers us.
Just keep going off like that by itself? It's on a loop right now.
Good, so we can see it.
All right, Mike, I know the team has something special planned for tonight.
Can you tell the audience what it is? We actually got a nice little trigger object tucked in our back pocket that we've actually been wanting so bad to use here at the palace theater.
Tonight's that night.
So hopefully it's correct and it's going to be enough to draw these spirits out from hiding.
All right, thanks, Mike.
Let's head to the basement where Porter and Doogie are trying to make contact with any soul executed during the civil war.
This is a receipt every time you say this is a receipt from the cigar company of Tennessee.
This is where they bought all kinds of this is candy.
And chewing gum.
So all this stuff that they would have served also for the theater is that what you signed off on, Mr.
Roth? Cigars? Signed by W.
F.
Roth.
Look, right there.
Look at that.
You can't buy that much candy and cigars for $16, can you? Not today.
This is kind of high.
K-2's hitting.
Was that tell you, this is epic, guys.
This is absolutely epic.
Roth, we really appreciate you talking with us.
We want you to tell your story.
You're live right now all over the United States.
We've got 'em right here at the palace theater to see what you built.
The legacy that you wanted to leave.
Guess what, it's still going.
It's still going to today.
Look at that.
This is a beautiful, beautiful theater.
It was in disarray, disrepair.
It was brought back.
George? George? All right.
So we have a name now.
Who's George? I wonder if that could be the other is there more than one of you here? Okay.
Are you affiliated or associated with the theater? K-2? Were you here during the union occupation? Were you here when the square was under control of general Arthur Payne? When he executed approximately 106 individuals, citizens, women, children, anyone suspected of being a spy, hung 'em around the square? Meter's going off.
This k-2's doing ooh.
What's going on? Was that something that just touched me? Do I have a spider fixing to eat my brains? I don't see anything on you, man.
Dude, right at the back of my neck, dude.
There's plenty of spiders, but I don't see anything on you.
Oh, dude.
That was weird.
There's some nails in that.
Couldn't tell.
All right.
I hope the meter's going off.
I'm hoping at this point in my life that this is actually you toughing the back of my head and not a brown recluse.
That's one time we hope it's not the spirit.
Yes.
So we're here to help deliver your story.
It's one of those things where we heard the stories where you've been throwing things or something has been throwing things.
It's obvious you want to get someone's attention or you want to run them out of there.
We're here right now.
America's out here with you.
They're here to hear your story.
You can come up and whisper it in my ear.
I'll even turn the light out.
You can come up and whisper in my ear.
Tell me what it is you want me to tell El.
Were you trying to get my attention by touching my head? Was that okay.
All right.
Look, we got somebody upstairs with Chris and Brannon that if you need to tell your story and you can't communicate it to us through these devices, can you maybe go make contact with her? She can all right, guys.
We've got a little bit of stuff in here.
We've got threats stretched.
Do you want to go up in the projection room, see if we can get up here? Yeah, let's do it.
All right, watch where you step, guys.
Guys, on the way up here, if you'll notice, this is the old ticket booth right here.
The segregated ticket booth.
This is where you would come get your ticket stub and you would move on to the segregated area here up on the balcony so wow.
See what we got in here.
All right.
I'm going to set a k-2 here.
All righty.
Feel a little heavy in here.
What's that, you feel heavy? Yes, like a little bit of heaviness.
Earlier today, Angel and I and Brennan were here.
We were doing a little bit of a baseline sweep.
Angel was picking up on cigar smoke.
Is that the same kind of smoke? It's the same thing.
What's cool about that is.
Mr.
Roth who used to run theater here, actually used to smoke cigars.
He was known for that.
Many people have seen Mr.
Roth smoking cigars in this area.
So that's pretty cool.
Right.
Also, you picked up on another entity earlier.
I wouldn't say I don't like him but I feel he's not a good soul if that makes sense.
And he stands in the doorway and I feel that will, I'm going to call the other, the cigar guy, will, is very protective of the others that are here and he's protecting them.
And from this other guy.
Now, the other guy, he has a dark blue suit on and he's missing, he's got a button, a button, a button, and he's missing one of his buttons, and that's what he's looking for.
I did get an initial E.
For him as well.
He has a pointy nose and a long beard.
Coming up, the investigation intensifies with the solo session up in the old segregated balcony where spirits are known to room.
Stick around.
George? They're 20.
Where did maybe George got here by train.
Maybe he got here by train.
Because the train comes right by here.
Maybe he's 20? Don't know.
We got all this activity going on.
Wide open, dude.
You got this crazy activity here.
You got George.
We got seen, 20, train and result.
We've got some activity going on.
You seem to be the magnetic individual right here.
Why don't you do a solo session down here, dude? You're going to leave me down here with all these shadows and stuff? You love it, brother.
I'm going to go to the main theater and do a solo over there.
All right, cool.
All right, buddy.
You see your way out of this dungeon? You got a flashlight? Probably not, but I'll make it.
I'll come back and get you.
If you hear my radio do a couple clicks, you know something ate me like a demon.
Come back, seriously.
I'll throw you a biscuit.
All right, Roth.
It's just me and you, buddy.
I see you're still here, the meter's still going.
I see you're trying to communicate.
Okay.
All right.
So we got 20 train and result.
This is where everybody came through you back there? Yeah.
Every person that got a ticket went to this window.
Wish you guys could see out there.
I'm down here all by my lonesome.
Still getting some major hits.
Ease on in here.
I've got a ticket.
I'm with Mike G.
And James in the command center.
Is there a common thread on social media? It is all about the theater.
Some reporting a shadowy figure.
Says shadow moving by the stage.
A number of people have seen something moving in front of the light completely blocking it out.
We just caught this.
This son loop right now.
We got this mist.
Appears into the on the main stage and then it just creeps back.
Now it's on repeat.
Now just goes away.
Should we tell the guys inside? I think so.
Mike deporter.
Go ahead, Mike.
Porter, man, there's some crazy, crazy, crazy activity going on in the main auditorium.
We got shadow figures.
We got this weird mist on the stage.
Think you need to go check it out.
Copy that.
I literally just walked through the front door so I'm headed in right now.
Thank you, man.
Good luck, brother.
All right, let's stay with Porter in the theater, shall we? What do we got in here? Got my ticket.
Whoa, shadow just threw that little sliver of light right there.
Don't run from me.
You don't have to take off.
My name's Porter.
I've been here before.
Come in here to check out the show.
All the stories talk about Mr.
Roth being in here.
Hanging out up here on the balcony.
Hanging out back here in some of the seats.
Are you in here now? I've got this device in my hand.
It's got an antenna on it.
It's a proximity sensor.
What that means is the closer you get to it, your energy's going to set it off just like this and it's going to get louder the closer you get.
It's also got a shadow detection system on it that I'm going to turn on here, just a second.
Going to make my way up these steps.
Just had a few items up here.
Because the way all the stories go, that you hang out back there.
Come on in here and sit down.
Hang out back here and watch.
Ready to watch a little show, you think? Turn the laser on.
All right.
So we were over here just investigating, doing our thing.
Angel heard like a low hum coming from over here.
As soon as I walked over here to check it out, we got this on.
Mad.
And she's thinking this is a pretty angry spirit.
Somebody that's guarding this door.
So, I mean, it doesn't get any better than that.
I'm chilled to the bone right now.
Are you angry that we're here? Well, it's interesting.
Because the name of the general that took over the square when the union army took over Gallatin was Payne.
General Payne.
Did he have a beard? Because this guy's got a beard and a skinny nose.
Oh, beard and his hair, like, different colors.
Like light hair and dark beard or vice versa.
There's some spider web stuff walking behind you.
Really? Crash.
I just got called and crash.
I just walked behind you and I felt something on my arm.
Felt like I was walking through spider webs.
What? It said cause, crash.
Going nuts.
We got beer.
We got forever.
What are you trying to say to me? Obviously, I just walked through something.
Guys, let's go in here and see what we got.
All right.
Now, this right here is another part of just an extended part of the segregated balcony.
Watch that nail right there, guys.
Yeah.
When we return, the wraith chasers will use this theater for an experimental screening.
Turn it on and off.
Come on down here.
The shadow detection's set up.
The proximity sensor's on.
I've got a flashlight right below it.
You can turn it on.
All these shadows moving around.
I mean, I'm not the one setting this thing off.
You're doing it.
Whatever's in here with me.
You know there's a lot of history around this square.
General Arthur Payne executed about 106 people on the square.
The suspicion of being spies.
Story's go that whoa, the lights dimmed.
What I hear, the youngest one executed was 10 years old.
Me being a father, if someone just a little bit younger than that, that really tears at my heart.
I can't imagine how that would happen.
Ya'll seen these lights? I can't understand how any human being could execute a child.
General Payne.
Is that you? If that's you, could you turn that flashlight on? Maybe you're confined to this area.
Maybe there's something here that caused you to be the way you were.
See if you can do that.
These lights keep flickering.
This is all new wiring.
That shouldn't be happening.
We've seen shadows.
Come up here and try to turn this flashlight on.
This one right here.
I'm going to give you some room.
I just want to tell your story.
I mean, there's a reason why you keep trying to get everybody's attention in here.
Trying to run 'em out, now's the perfect time to make a big show.
Come up and turn the flashlight on.
I know for sure that the will is here and the e.
But he's not in this room.
He's out by the door.
All right, so Angel's feeling some things up here.
She says she feels a little light headed.
Like maybe multiple entities.
There's a rod here too.
I feel that's for that's just a soul for a woman named Claire they said that comes here.
So we got Claire, we got Rudd, we got Norman.
Can you please turn the flashlight off? Thank you so much.
Okay.
So I'm talking about general Arthur Payne being confined to this area for the atrocities out there on the square.
We talked about he executed those as young as 10 years old.
And I can't imagine what would cause another human being to execute a child.
But if that's what hit the nerve, can you turn that flashlight back on? I'll tell you story to the world.
If you're trying to come through, you're trying to get people's attention, right now's the prime opportunity for it.
It's obvious you're moving around.
The shadow detection keeps picking you up.
It's not me.
Can you turn the flash there goes the lights again.
Okay, can you turn that flashlight on? This is all new wiring.
They shouldn't be changing these lights.
Can you turn that flashlight.
The little cylinder up there.
I know you may not know what it is, but you just did it.
That little cylinder, light comes out.
Use your energy.
That makes perfect sense because if he's attracted to my watch, he owned a jewelry store, that means he's interested.
Probably never seen anything like this.
I see a lot of crystals and stuff around him so maybe he enjoyed that.
I honestly feel like maybe we've connected with Mr.
Roth up here in this area.
This would have been his, you know, checking things out at night, smoking his stogie kind of thing.
Thanks for communicating with us, Bill.
We appreciate it, buddy.
Can you give us a good-bye.
Can you give us a sign-off, anything at all? To let us know? I feel like you've touched me several times tonight.
You can light up one of these meters in this chair to kind of let us know that way.
Doesn't have to be you.
Anybody up here that wants to communicate.
Let us know some way.
Are you feeling anything like from this Angel over here, this corner? Maybe if they like you.
They usually don't.
That's why I'm like freaking out.
Watch your step.
Know that I do feel like a different temperature here.
It's weird.
Because it's always my left arm.
All right.
I see you're not going to come out.
But there's a lady upstairs that will help.
And maybe you can follow me out to the auditorium.
Follow me out of this dungeon.
Doogie to team.
Come on, Doogie.
Go ahead, Doog.
I've had some crazy stuff going down here in the basement.
I mean, it's been insane down here.
But I think maybe I need to take this thing out of the basement and maybe get it upstairs if it's Mr.
Roth.
And I think Angel may have some unfinished business for this fella as well.
If you want to roll down there, we'll do a little solo stuff.
We'll be right back.
All right, Mr.
Roth, everybody here in the balcony.
We're going to put on a little show.
Maybe some images you might be familiar with.
All right.
While those guys are checking out what's going on in there, I'm going to do a little solo investigation.
See what we can get.
Live from Gallatin.
Hey, how are you doing? General Payne, can you see something through this device? I feel he's upset.
Like really upset.
Because he wants to be the leader.
Hate to tell you, but the war's been over for 160-some years.
What did he say? Kite.
General, if that's you, can you turn the flashlight back on for me please.
Can you turn the flashlight off for me, sir, please.
He just turned that off? He wants to be the leader.
This device right here.
This is "E.
" "E"? Yes.
You can use your energy through that device there to create word.
Those words will come through.
We'll hear you.
That flashlight? It's off now.
It was on.
Can you do that? Something yes.
He wants you to find his button.
He's missing a button and he's upset about it.
General, can you tell me what you're wanting to find? Lost.
He said lost.
It's lost.
Oh, light's on.
Okay.
Said lost.
All right.
Can you tell me what you lost? Yeah.
Call him "e.
" Can you say your name to that device? Blue.
Blue? So the jacket all right.
We got some response from you guys that in the segregated stairway here, we had some shadow activity.
We're going to do a little quick session, a little burst, see if we can figure out what it is.
Okay, we can see you.
Can you tell me what your name is? How many movies did you used to oh, my, dude, hold on.
I swear, I thought I saw something right here, up in this little thing.
There's not a camera guy.
There's not nobody here.
There's not equipment hanging.
I thought I saw something hanging.
Where are the hold on, let me see if we got anything on this.
Okay, we can see you.
Tell me what your name is? You used to watch movies? All right.
I got nothing.
Basically what I saw like, as soon as I was, like, sitting right here, I don't know if you saw it from him.
That angle coming this way.
It looked like something dropped and, like, swung a little bit right here in this little ticket area.
That was freaking nuts.
I don't know if you guys saw that.
Now, we'll be right back in a minute but don't forget, you can join the investigation right now by checking out the exclusive four camera live feed from inside the palace theater.
At Travel Channel's Facebook page.
Stay with us.
We got to go wild right now.
Come over and smoke that cigar.
Somebody "e.
" We got somebody "e.
" Let me see I see Doogie smoking a cigar so it must be a party.
It's a party, man.
I just saw some crazy stuff in the stairway.
Oh, yeah? Somebody was watching at home, saw some shadow activity.
I get down there, I start a session and I see something drop from the ticket booth over the top.
It was like the craziest thing.
It was like a bag or something.
I mean, the only way I can explain it.
I thought it was like a go up there and look, nothing.
Nothing? What do you got? It just said Doogie.
Sitting here, smoking the cigars.
So we've been getting a ton of hits.
Off of general Arthur Payne.
A lot of the murder, the executions he did out here.
And then we started getting stuff with Mr.
Roth with the cigar.
And when we lit the cigar, flashlight come on.
The meter goes off.
The shadow detection is going crazy.
The cigar was the trigger that fired it all up.
I think we talked to Roth.
We talked to this "E" character.
I think there's a lot of things roaming around here and a lot of things looking for other things.
You were picking up on the two male entities upstairs.
You said one was kind of nasty, the "E" character.
Could possibly have some correlation with this character? Obviously the people at home are seeing stuff.
This is like the best thing ever, guys.
A great night.
Here, somebody else take a puff off this.
I don't want to ruin my lungs.
All right.
I'll do both then.
You do both of them? Mr.
Roth, we want to thank you.
Thank you, sir.
Thank you so much.
That's the coolest thing though.
When you get that action like that.
Yep.
And you see you know, people at home are seeing those shadows moving around.
Here you go, buddy.
Good night, Mr.
Roth.
That's cigars for you.
Appreciate your help, guys.
He actually just said he just said all right, we'll see you next week, guys, thanks for tuning in.
This has been an amazing night.
