Paranormal Survivor (2015) s02e02 Episode Script

1 THERE WAS JUST NOTHING TO EXPLAIN IT, NOTHING.
IT WAS JUST VERY, VERY SCARY.
Narrator: YOU ARE ABOU TO SEE REAL PEOPLE THIS IS NOT NORMAL.
Narrator: RELIVING HORRIFYING PARANORMAL ENCOUNTERS FOR THE FIRST TIME.
[ SCREAMS .]
WE JUST SAT THERE WITH OUR JAWS DROPPED.
WE COULDN'T BELIEVE WHAT WE WERE SEEING.
AAAH! Narrator: WHEN SPIRITS ARE INTENT ON DOING EVIL Eric: THE BASEMEN IS SUPER-OLD AND CREEPY.
I BURIED THIS FOR NEARLY 30 YEARS.
Narrator: BE PREPARED TO BE AFRAID.
-- Captions by VITAC -- CAPTIONS PAID FOR BY DISCOVERY COMMUNICATIONS Man: STORY NUMBER 14, FEATURING MANDI, TAKE ONE.
MY NAME IS MANDI LYNN, AND I AM CO-OWNER OF LIBERTY TATTOO IN LIBERTYVILLE HERE IN ANTIOCH.
WE TOOK OVER THE BUILDING IN MAY OF 2007.
WHEN WE FIRS SAW THE SPACE, YOU KNOW, WE'D REALIZED THE CAPSTONE ON THE OUTSIDE SAID IT WAS BUILT IN 1904.
THERE'S A LO OF HISTORY IN THE BUILDING.
Narrator: HISTORY THAT WOULD COME BACK TO HAUNT THEM.
IT STARTED WITH THEIR RENOVATIONS, SEEING SOMEONE OR SOMETHING DIDN'T LIKE THEIR TASTE.
WE WOULD CLOSE AT THE END OF THE NIGHT.
YOU KNOW, WE'D GET IN THE NEXT DAY, AND THERE'S PAINT BRUSHES MISSING OR ROLLERS MISSING OR THE ART THAT WE BOUGH CAME WITH GLASS IN THEM.
SO WE DECIDED TO PUT THEM BEHIND THE COUNTERS AND BOLTED THEM TO THE WALL WITH THE WIRING TO THE FRAME, LIKE SECURED THEM TO THE WALL.
THE FIRST PLATE GLASS PICTURE HAD FALLEN OFF THE WALL AND WAS DOWN ON THE GROUND, AND THE GLASS WAS BUSTED EVERYWHERE.
WE JUST CHALKED IT UP AS NOT BEING HUNG PROPERLY.
THE NEXT DAY, WHEN THE SECOND ONE WAS DOWN, WE KNEW THA SOMETHING ELSE WAS GOING ON.
Mandi: AND THEN, IT WAS THE LAS PICTURE THAT HAD GLASS IN I HAD COME DOWN AND WAS BROKEN.
WE PUT IT UP RIGHT.
THERE'S NO REASON WHY IT SHOULD HAVE JUST FALLEN OFF THE WALL.
Narrator: SOON AFTER OPENING, MANDI AND ERIC NOTICED SIGNS OF AN UNEXPECTED VISITOR.
Mandi: WHEN WE OPENED FOR BUSINESS, AND THE FIRST THING THAT WE NOTICED IS THAT THERE WERE LARGE MALE BARE FOOTPRINTS ON TOP OF OUR DISPLAY CASES THAT ARE 3 1/2 FEE OFF OF THE GROUND.
Eric: I WAS TRYING TO RACK MY BRAIN, WHO WOULD'VE BEEN WALKING AROUND BAREFOOT ON THE FLOOR, WHICH WOULD HAVE BEEN MORE REASONABLE THAN ON TOP OF THE COUNTER.
Narrator: AND THEN, THEIR EMPLOYEES STARTED ACTING STRANGELY.
THE BOY EMPLOYEES JUS WERE TERRIFIED TO COME INTO THE BASEMENT.
WE HAVE STUFF, SUPPLIES DOWN HERE THAT I'D HAVE TO SEND THEM DOWNSTAIRS IN THE BASEMENT TO GET.
AND THEY WOULD FIGHT OVER, "NO, YOU GO.
NO, YOU GO.
I'M NO GOING INTO THE BASEMENT.
" Eric: THE BASEMEN IS SUPER-OLD AND CREEPY.
THERE'S A CERTAIN AREA WHERE THE CONCRETE IS DIRT.
AND IT WAS EITHER DUG UP OR NEVER FILLED IN.
AND WE FOUND THAT TO BE VERY UNUSUAL AND WONDERED WHAT'S BURIED THERE.
Mandi: YOU KNOW, THE FIRST TIME I SAW THE HOLE IN THE FLOOR, I JUST WAS TRYING TO FIGURE OU WHY YOU WOULD POUR CONCRETE EVERYWHERE ELSE IN THIS BASEMEN EXCEPT FOR THAT ONE SPACE AND WHAT WAS PARTICULARLY SPECIAL ABOUT THAT ONE SPOT.
Narrator: MANDI AND ERIC DISCOVER THAT THEY WEREN'T THE FIRS TO FEEL A MALE ENTITY IN THEIR MIDST.
THEY LEARNED HE EVEN HAD A NICKNAME.
ACTUALLY, ONE OF MY NEIGHBORS USED TO WORK IN THE SPACE.
SHE CAME IN, AND WE HAD METAL LADDERS LEANED UP AGAINST THE FRONT DOOR TO THE BASEMENT.
AND SHE SAID, "YOU NEED TO BE CAREFUL BECAUSE THERE'S PLATE GLASS IN THAT DOOR.
" AND I SAID, "NO, IT'S JUST WOOD.
IT'S JUST PAINTED.
" AND SHE SAID, "NO, WE PAINTED OVER THE GLASS BECAUSE LLOYD USED TO STARE THROUGH THE WINDOW STANDING ON THE STAIRS AND PEER THROUGH THAT WINDOW.
AND THAT WAS DIRECTLY BEHIND THE COUNTER WHERE ALL THE EMPLOYEES SIT.
SO SHE SAID, "WE JUS PAINTED THE WINDOWS BECAUSE IT WAS FREAKING US OUT, LOOKING OVER THERE AND SEEING HIM STANDING THERE.
" IT MADE ME A LITTLE CREEPED OU KNOWING THAT HE WAS HERE.
TO ME, IT WAS VERY OBVIOUS THAT HE LIKES WOMEN QUITE A BIT.
EVEN WITH MYSELF, HE WOULD STAND BEHIND ME AND BREATHE.
EVEN WITH ME SITTING IN MY CHAIR, YOU COULD JUS FEEL HIM BEHIND ME.
BUT THERE WERE MULTIPLE TIMES WHERE CUSTOMERS, FEMALE CUSTOMERS, WOULD BE ACROSS THE ROOM LOOKING THROUGH FLASH, THE TATTOO FLASH RACKS.
AND THERE'S NO ONE BEHIND THEM.
AND YOU COULD WATCH THEM GO YOU KNOW? AND I'D SAY, "ARE YOU OKAY?" AND THEY'RE LIKE, "WAS THERE SOMEONE JUS STANDING BEHIND ME?" AND I'M LIKE, "NOPE.
" THE RACKS WOULD JUS OPEN ONE LEAF AT A TIME, VERY, VERY SLOWLY, ALL BY THEMSELVES, UNTIL A PARTICULAR SHEE OF FLASH WAS SHOWING WHICH HAD A BUNCH OF ANGELS ON THEM.
USUALLY, IT WAS A FEMALE CLIEN WOULD TURN AROUND IN A PANIC AND LOOK AT US.
AND WE'D SMILE AND WAVE AND NOD.
AND, "YEAH, I SEE IT, TOO.
" Mandi: AFTER A WHILE, IT GOT TO BE A LITTLE BIT MUCH.
SO WE PUT IN CAMERAS.
ONE DAY, OUR EMPLOYEES CALLED US AND SAID, "WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED HERE LAST NIGHT?" AND HE SAID, "THERE'S A SIGN RIPPED OFF THE WALL.
ONE OF THE PICTURES IS DOWN OFF THE WALL.
" AND THE PLANT, WHICH IS A VERY LARGE PLAN IN A VERY LARGE PLANTER, WAS TIPPED COMPLETELY OVER.
AND MY HUSBAND AND I REVIEWED THE SECURITY TAPES.
AT ABOUT 9:30 IN THE MORNING, ALL AT THE SAME TIME, THE SIGN TO THE HANDICAPPED BATHROOM FELL OFF THE WALL, RIPPING OFF THE DRYWALL SHEETING WITH IT, FELL OFF THE WALL, THE PICTURE DROPPED OFF THE WALL, AND THE PLANTER JUST TIPPED OVER.
THERE WAS NO ONE IN THE STUDIO.
LIKE, OUR STUDIO WAS NOT EVEN OPEN YET.
THE ALARM WAS STILL SET.
THE SPIRIT MAY DESTROY SOMEBODY'S BELONGINGS OR HIDE THEM.
MOSTLY, IT'S TO GET THEIR ATTENTION, TO LET THEM KNOW THEY'RE THERE OR THAT THEY WANT SOMETHING AND YOU'RE NO PAYING ATTENTION TO THEM, THEY'RE GONNA GET YOUR ATTENTION ONE WAY OR ANOTHER.
Narrator: SOON, MANDI HAD OTHER VISITORS.
Mandi: THERE WAS A LITTLE GIRL IN HERE, A LITTLE GIRL SPIRIT.
THE FIRST COUPLE TIMES I SAW HER, SHE WAS JUST VERY PLAYFUL.
SHE WOULD HIDE BETWEEN THE COUCHES.
SHE WOULD PLAY ALL OVER THE STUDIO.
Eric: I ALWAYS HAVE BEEN A BELIEVER OF PARANORMAL.
AND I'VE EXPERIENCED TOO MANY THINGS, SEEN TOO MANY THINGS, FELT TOO MANY THINGS FOR ME TO SAY NOTHING ELSE IS GOING ON.
Narrator: BUT ONE OF MANDI'S VISITORS WASN'T EXACTLY HARMLESS.
Mandi: ONE DAY, I WAS TAKING A NAP [ SCREAMS .]
[ PANTING .]
OH, MY GOD! Narrator: MANDI LYNN'S NEW TATTOO PARLOR WAS FULL OF UNEXPLAINED ACTIVITY -- STRANGE PRESENCES, GHOSTS, AND FALLING OBJECTS.
BUT NO ONE HAD BEEN PHYSICALLY ATTACKED YET.
[ SCREAMS .]
AND AS I WAS SLEEPING, I COULD FEEL THAT I WAS BEING PULLED BY MY FEE DOWN ACROSS THE COUCH.
[ SCREAMING .]
AND WHEN I OPENED MY EYES, I REALIZED THAT THERE WAS NO ONE THERE.
THERE WAS JUST NO ONE THERE, BUT I COULD FEEL MYSELF BEING PULLED DOWN THE COUCH.
AND THAT'S WHEN I FREAKED OUT.
AND MY HUSBAND CAME FLYING INTO ROOM.
AND HE'S LIKE, "WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG?" AND I'M LIKE, "THAT THING JUST DRUG ME DOWN THE COUCH.
" AND HE'S LIKE, "ARE YOU OKAY?" AND I SAID, "YES.
" "ARE YOU HURT?" "NO, BUT A LITTLE FREAKED OU THAT THE THING CAN ACTUALLY MOVE ME.
" Narrator: THE ATTACK PROMPTS MANDI AND ERIC TO BRING IN PARANORMAL INVESTIGATOR BOB JENSON.
SO, WE CAME IN HERE LOOKING TO SEE IF WE HAD ANY REAL HIGH E.
M.
F.
s.
WE ALSO USED THE AUDIO RECORDERS, DIGITAL RECORDERS TO SEE WHAT KIND OF AUDIO WE WOULD BE ABLE TO PICK UP DOWN HERE.
WITH DIFFERENT PICTURES THAT WE TOOK, MOST OF THEM CAME UP ON THE FULL COLOR SPECTRUM CAMERA THAT WE HAD ANOMALIES THAT WOULD POP UP.
WE HAD A COUPLE THAT SHOWED UP NEAR A FLOODLIGHT.
THERE WAS ACTUALLY A FIGURE STANDING THERE.
THE PICTURES THEMSELVES WERE CAPTURED AT THE FAR END OF THE BASEMENT.
SEEING THE SHEER SIZE OF LLOYD WAS VERY UNNERVING TO -- I VERY MUCH GET THE FEELING THAT HE'S A SEXUAL PREDATOR.
AND THEN TO SEE HIM IN THAT FORM WAS IT MADE ME VERY, VERY UNCOMFORTABLE.
IT DEFINITELY HAS A MALE PHYSIQUE TO IT.
AND THERE WAS A SERIES OF PHOTOGRAPHS.
IT LOOKS LIKE HE'S STANDING.
AND THEN THE NEXT PICTURE LOOKS LIKE HE'S GOING INTO A CROUCHING POSITION.
A COUPLE MORE PHOTOS, IT LOOKS LIKE HE WAS SITTING ON ALMOST LIKE A CRATE OR A BOX.
[ EVIL LAUGHTER .]
IT'S CREEPY AS HELL.
I MEAN, THIS WAS LIKE A MORE PRIMAL FORM, JUST A MALE SHAPE, BUT VERY LARGE, VERY POWERFUL SHAPE.
Narrator: THEY ALSO CAUGH A VOICE ON TAPE.
ON THE AUDIO RECORDINGS, ONE WAS A LITTLE GIRL'S VOICE.
THE LITTLE GIRL'S VOICE WAS WARNING US.
SHE SAID, "BE CAREFUL.
HE'S COMING.
" YEAH, "BE CAREFUL.
HE'S COMING.
" SHE KEPT SAYING "BE CAREFUL.
" Narrator: BOB RESEARCHED THE HISTORY OF THE BUILDING AND DISCOVERED A CHILLING STORY.
THERE WERE CLAIMS THAT THERE MIGHT HAVE BEEN DIFFERENT CRIMES THAT WERE COMMITTED AT THIS PARTICULAR PROPERTY.
BUT THE CRIMES AGAINST WOMEN THAT MIGHT BE TIED IN WITH THIS PARTICULAR LOCATION DEFINITELY GOES BACK TO THE 19-TEENS, AND TO MAYBE UP UNTIL THE 1930s OR 1940s.
FOR SURE, FINDING OU THE HISTORY AND THAT THERE WAS POSSIBLE RAPE AND KILLING DOWN HERE MADE A LOT OF SENSE BECAUSE THERE'S ONE PARTICULAR SPOT IN THE BASEMEN THAT IT'S VERY HARD FOR WOMEN TO BE NEAR WITHOUT FEELING VERY UNCOMFORTABLE.
AND WHEN YOU ASK EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM KIND OF, "WHAT DO YOU FEEL?" AND THEY FEEL LIKE VICTIMIZED SEXUALLY.
[ DOOR HINGES CREAK .]
[ EVIL LAUGHTER .]
WITH THIS BUILDING, A LOT OF IT IS FIELDSTONE, THERE'S ALSO LIMESTONE AND QUARTZ.
AND LIMESTONE AND QUARTZ HAVE BEEN REPORTED TO ACTUALLY HOLD ON TO RESIDUAL HAUNTINGS.
THIS IS DEFINITELY A GOOD CATALYS FOR HOLDING ON TO AND RETAINING A LOT OF INFORMATION THAT'S HAPPENED OVER NUMEROUS, NUMEROUS DECADES.
WITH MINERALS SUCH AS QUARTZ AND LIMESTONE AND THINGS LIKE THAT, WE'RE NOT SURE IF IT'S AN ATTRACTION FOR SPIRITS, BUT THEY CAN USE THE ENERGIES FROM THOSE THINGS.
IT CAN ALSO TRAP ENERGY, AS WELL.
SO IF A FOUNDATION IS BUIL UPON THESE THINGS, IT COULD FUEL MORE PARANORMAL ACTIVITY.
Narrator: MANDI AND ERIC DON'T NEED ANY MORE CONVINCING AND QUICKLY TAKE ACTION.
Mandi: AFTER THE INVESTIGATION, WE ASKED A COUPLE OF OUR FRIENDS WHO ARE SPIRITUAL HEALERS AND WORK WITH ENERGY TO COME INTO THE SPACE AND HELP US TRY AND CLEAR OU THE ENERGY THAT WAS HERE.
WE HAD A COUPLE PEOPLE COME IN THAT USED SAGE STICKS AND SMUDGE STICKS AND JUST ASKED THE ENTITIES THAT IF THERE WAS SOMETHING THAT THEY NEEDED OR IF THERE WAS SOME HELP THAT WE COULD GIVE THEM TO MOVE TO ANOTHER PLACE.
Narrator: WHATEVER THEY DID SEEMED TO WORK.
I DON'T THINK THE LITTLE GIRL WAS HERE ANY LONGER AT ALL.
I THINK LLOYD HUNG OU A LITTLE LONGER.
IT TOOK HIM A LITTLE LONGER TO MOVE ON.
I FIND IT VERY IMPORTAN THAT WE HAD THE SPACE CLEANSED AND THE SPIRITS CLEARED BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW IF I WOULD HAVE BEEN COMFORTABLE STAYING OR ANY OF THE OTHER EMPLOYEES WOULD HAVE BEEN COMFORTABLE STAYING MUCH LONGER.
Narrator: NOT ALL SPIRITS ARE EVIL LIKE LLOYD.
BUT EVEN THE NICER ONES CAN TURN MALEVOLEN WHEN THE LIVING TRY TO TAKE WHAT'S THEIRS.
Man: STORY NUMBER 18, FEATURING TAMMY, TAKE ONE.
WE BOUGHT THE HOUSE IN 2003.
HERE WE ARE.
THE FEELING WE GOT WHEN WE WENT IN, IT WAS JUST A POSITIVE FEELING IN THE BEGINNING.
WE JUST KIND OF KNEW THA THAT WAS THE PLACE TO BE.
ALL RIGHT, LET'S GET TO WORK.
IT WAS A SMALL COMMUNITY.
WE KNEW WE WERE GOING TO TRY AND HAVE A CHILD.
THAT LOOKS GREAT.
- RIGHT HERE? Narrator: BUT TAMMY'S ROSY OUTLOOK QUICKLY STARTS TO PALE.
[ THUNDER CRASHES .]
PROBABLY ABOUT A WEEK AFTER WE MOVED IN AND MY HUSBAND WAS ALONE IN THE HOUSE FOR THE FIRST TIME [ KNOCKING .]
HE SAID THAT HE HEARD YEAH? A BANGING ON THE WALL COMING CLOSER AND CLOSER.
HELLO? Narrator: TAMMY NORTHCUT AND HER HUSBAND, JERRY, HAD RECENTLY MOVED INTO A NEW HOME.
[ KNOCKING .]
WITHIN THE FIRST WEEK, THEY WERE HEARING STRANGE NOISES.
Tammy: HE SAID THAT HE HEARD A BANGING ON THE WALL COMING CLOSER.
THERE WAS NOTHING THERE.
Narrator: NEXT, IT WAS TAMMY'S TURN TO START HEARING THINGS.
IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT, I GOT UP 'CAUSE I HEARD ARGUING.
AND I DIDN'T KNOW WHERE IT WAS COMING FROM.
[ INDISTINCT TALKING .]
BUT WE'VE GOT A VEN THAT'S IN OUR LIVING ROOM, A HEATER VENT.
AND, YOU COULD TELL THA IT WAS COMING UP FROM THERE.
[ INDISTINCT TALKING CONTINUES .]
[ DOOR HINGES CREAK .]
WE WOULD GO DOWN IN THE BASEMEN TO FIND OUT WHAT WAS GOING ON.
WE COULD NEVER SEE ANYTHING.
IT WAS JUS CONSTANTLY JUST THERE, YOU KNOW? BUT THERE WAS NOTHING -- THERE WAS NOTHING.
YOU COULDN'T SEE ANYTHING.
BUT YOU COULD HEAR IT.
THE OBJECTIVE FOR SPIRITS MAKING THEMSELVES KNOWN COULD BE A NUMBER OF THINGS.
IT COULD BE THEY HAVE A MESSAGE THEY WANT TO PASS ON.
OTHERS DON'T KNOW THEY'RE PASSED ON, SO THEY'RE TRYING TO INTERACT.
THEY'RE TRYING TO BE A PAR OF THE LIVING WORLD.
Narrator: THE COUPLE SUFFERED IN SILENCE UNTIL HELP ARRIVED BY PURE CHANCE.
Tammy: THERE WAS A SHOP, DOWNTOWN JANESVILLE.
WE MET THE COUPLE.
WE WERE TALKING ABOUT THE HOUSE, AND THEY OVERHEARD US TALKING.
AND THEY SAID, "WE CAN HELP.
" THEY SAID THAT THEY COULD COME BLESS THE HOUSE.
THEY BLESSED THE HOUSE, AND THE THINGS STOPPED FOR A WHILE.
Narrator: THE HOUSE SEEMED TO SETTLE DOWN.
18 MONTHS LATER, TAMMY AND JERRY HAD THEIR FIRST CHILD, CONNOR.
AS SOON AS MY SON WAS BORN, [ CREAKING .]
IT STARTED UP AGAIN, THE KNOCKING.
THE CABINET DOORS IN THE KITCHEN, YOU COULD HEAR OPEN AND CLOSE.
AND, WELL, THE BASEMENT DOOR STARTED OPENING AND CLOSING.
MY SON'S DOOR WAS OPENING AND CLOSING.
IT STARTED TO KICK UP AGAIN.
Narrator: THESE MYSTERIOUS EVENTS CONTINUED UNTIL AFTER CONNOR'S SECOND BIRTHDAY.
THEN THEY TURNED MORE SINISTER.
CONNOR STARTED SEEING SOMETHING ON HIS BED THAT HE REFERRED TO AS MR.
RAIDER.
[ BABBLING .]
HE WOULD TELL ME THAT I NEED TO GET MR.
RAIDER OFF THE BED.
[ CRYING .]
I WOULD LOOK.
I COULD NOT SEE ANYTHING.
Narrator: AND THEN, ANOTHER UNWELCOMED GUEST PAID A VISIT [ BABBLING, CRYING .]
AN OLD WOMAN WHO WOULD SHAKE HIS BED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT.
THAT'S WHEN HE WOULD COME RUNNING TO OUR ROOM ABOUT 2 A.
M.
IT GOT TO THE POINT WHERE HE JUST REFUSED TO GO INTO THE ROOM.
Shh.
[ CRIES .]
MY HUSBAND'S MOTHER HAD PASSED AWAY BEFORE CONNOR WAS BORN.
BUT WE DO HAVE A PICTURE OF HER.
AND HE KEPT ON LOOKING AT HER PICTURE.
AND HE ASKED ME TO TELL HER TO STOP WAKING HIM UP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT.
Narrator: SOON AFTER THAT, TAMMY HAD A TERRIFYING MOMENT.
Tammy: I HEARD THE DOOR CLOSE, AND CONNOR WAS IN THE ROOM.
CONNOR? AND I WAS FRANTIC.
CONNOR? HEY! I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO.
I COULDN'T GET THE DOOR OPEN.
AND I JUST -- I -- MY SON WAS IN THERE, AND I HAD TO GET TO HIM.
AND I WAS ACTUALLY GONNA CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMEN TO HAVE THEM COME REMOVE THE DOOR.
I WAS SO SCARED.
[ DOOR HANDLE RATTLING .]
AND THE DOOR CLICKED.
AND I REACHED, AND I TURNED THE KNOB.
AND IT OPENED.
AND I WAS ABLE TO GET HIM OUT.
AFTER THAT, WE TOOK THE HANDLE OFF THE DOOR SO IT COULD NO LONGER LATCH.
Narrator: TAMMY AND HER HUSBAND WERE AT A BREAKING POINT.
THEY REACHED OUT FOR HELP A SECOND TIME.
I'VE BEEN INVESTIGATING SINCE THE '90s, ABOUT 1997.
THEY WERE SCARED.
THEY REALLY WERE.
OUR FIRST INVESTIGATION THERE PROBABLY PRODUCED THE MOST EVIDENCE OUT OF ANY SINGLE ONE INVESTIGATION WE'VE EVER DONE ANYWHERE.
THROUGHOUT THE NIGHT, WE HAD WHAT WE CALL CLASS "C" E.
V.
P.
s, ELECTRONIC VOICE PHENOMENON.
BUT THERE WERE SOME TIMES THAT WE GOT WHAT WE CALL CLASS "A" E.
V.
P.
s, WHERE WE COULD HEAR EXACTLY WHAT IT WAS SAYING.
Ghostly female voice: COME DANCE.
Ghostly male voice: STOP SAYING THAT.
GET OUT.
"GET OUT.
" "COME GET US.
" "STOP SAYING THAT.
" WE HAD SOMETHING WE THOUGHT GROWLED AT US.
[ GROWLING .]
AND ALL OF A SUDDEN, WE HEAR [ BARKING .]
OUR FIRST IMPRESSION WAS THA WE WERE DEALING WITH SOMETHING VERY NEGATIVE.
THIS THING IS SAYING, "I'M THE BOSS HERE.
" Narrator: A FEW DAYS LATER, THE ENTITY REVEALS A VIOLENT SIDE.
I FELT SOMEBODY CHOKE ME.
THERE WAS PRESSURE ON MY NECK.
Narrator: TAMMY NORTHCUTT AND HER HUSBAND SENSED AN EVIL FORCE IN THEIR HOME.
THEIR SON, CONNOR, WAS BEING TRAUMATIZED.
AND TAMMY HERSELF HAD FEL ATTACKED BY SOME ENTITY.
I FELT SOMEBODY CHOKE ME.
THERE WAS PRESSURE ON MY NECK.
AND IT FELT LIKE THERE WAS HANDS AROUND MY NECK, LIKE I WAS BEING STRANGLED.
BABY, HEY! AND IT WAS ALMOST LIKE I WAS BEING PUSHED INTO THE BED.
BUT, AND THEN I FELT, LIKE, A RELEASE, AND I WAS ABLE TO SIT UP.
BUT, IT WAS -- IT WAS AWFUL.
IT WAS AN AWFUL FEELING.
Narrator: TAMMY ASKED THE PARANORMAL GROUP TO COME BACK.
THIS TIME, THEY BROUGHT PAUL, THEIR MOST GIFTED PSYCHIC.
Tammy: HE CAME OVER, AND HE WAS GETTING MESSAGES ALREADY FROM BEFORE HE EVEN GOT TO OUR HOUSE.
Narrator: THE FIRST THING PAUL PICKED UP WAS THAT THE HOUSE HAD ONCE BEEN A SEEDY DRINKING DEN.
HE'S TALKING ABOUT THIS PLACE BEING, YOU KNOW, WHERE THERE'S DRUNK PEOPLE.
AND HE MAKES THE SOUND OF ONE GUY THAT JUST CONTINUALLY GOES [ BARKS .]
AND I ABOUT FELL OFF MY STOOL WHEN HE DID THA BECAUSE IT SOUNDED JUST LIKE WHAT WE HEARD.
OUR BIGGEST QUESTION WAS, WHO WAS SAYING, "COME GET US"? AND WHO TOLD US TO GET OUT? Tammy: I WAS TELLING HIM ABOUT WHERE CONNOR WAS SEEING MR.
RAIDER.
I SHOWED HIM THE ROOM.
AND HE TOLD US IT WASN'T MR.
RAIDER.
IT WAS MR.
READER.
AND HE -- AND IN THE 1930S, THERE WAS, LIKE, A TRAVELER'S LODGE THAT SAT WHERE OUR HOUSE IS NOW.
HE SAID MR.
READER OWNED THE HOTEL.
AND PAUL'S THEORY IS IS THAT MR.
READER IS HANGING OU IN THE MASTER BEDROOM AREA.
AND HE'S NOT A VERY NICE GUY.
AND HE'S PROBABLY THE ONE THAT TOLD US TO GET OUT.
Narrator: FINALLY, THEY COULD PUT A NAME TO THE SINISTER SPIRIT.
HE STARTED TALKING TO MR.
READER.
AS HE WAS EXPLAINING TO MR.
READER THAT THIS IS A DIFFERENT TIME, WOMAN ARE EQUAL, THE LIGHT STARTED TO BRIGHTEN UP IN THE ROOM.
AND IT FELT LIGHTER IN THE ROOM.
AND NOW I DON'T HAVE THAT NEGATIVE FEELING ANYMORE.
THAT'S GONE.
Narrator: PAUL HAD CLEANSED THE HOUSE OF THE MALEVOLENT SPIRI BUT STILL HAD SOME QUESTIONS.
HE ASKED JERRY WHAT THE NAME DELL MEANT.
AND HE SAID, "WELL, IT'S DELLA.
THAT WAS MY MOM.
" SHE HAD PASSED AWAY.
AND THAT'S WHO WAS FOLLOWING CONNOR AROUND.
Narrator: THE FEMALE SPIRI WHO HAD BEEN WAKING CONNOR, TAMMY'S MOTHER-IN-LAW, WASN'T TRYING TO FRIGHTEN HIM.
SHE WAS TRYING TO PROTECT HIM.
IT WAS HER VOICE THAT TAMMY HEARD AMONG THE ARGUING IN THE BASEMENT.
I ACTUALLY KIND OF FEL A LITTLE COMFORTED KNOWING THAT SHE WAS LOOKING OUT FOR HIM.
EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE, YOU'LL STILL HEAR THE DOOR SLAMMING IN THE BACK AND THE HEAVY FOOTSTEPS GOING DOWN THE STAIRS.
BUT KNOWING WHAT I KNOW NOW BECAUSE OF PAUL, I DO FEEL BETTER IN KIND OF KNOWING THAT, I'M NOT GOING TO GET HARMED.
I'M NOT GOING TO GET HURT.
AND IT MAKES ME FEEL MORE COMFORTABLE.
Narrator: SOMETIMES GHOSTS MAY HAUN THE LIVING OUT OF VENGEANCE, PERHAPS DUE TO TRAGEDY, A LIFE CUT SHORT.
THESE VINDICTIVE SPIRITS CAN HARBOR ILL INTENTIONS EVEN WHEN THEIR VICTIMS ARE THE INNOCENT.
Man: PARANORMAL SURVIVOR 2, MICHAEL'S HAUNTED APARTMENT, STORY NUMBER 4, TAKE 1.
IT WAS 2005, AND A COUPLE FRIENDS OF MINE, LONG-TIME FRIENDS, BOUGH A BUILDING THAT HAD HAD A FIRE.
AND THEY DECIDED TO RENOVATE IT.
Narrator: AFTER HIS FRIENDS FINISHED RENOVATING, THEY OFFERED TO RENT MICHAEL ONE OF THE APARTMENTS.
WHEN I MOVED IN, IT FELT COZY.
AND IT WAS A COMFORTABLE LITTLE PLACE, I THOUGHT, SOMETHING I COULD LIVE IN FOR A WHILE.
LOOK AROUND.
I ACTUALLY HAD MY STEPSON, WHO WAS LIVING WITH ME AT THE TIME.
MY KIDS WOULD COME OVER ON THE WEEKENDS.
SO IT WAS A SMALL APARTMENT.
BUT THAT WAS IT, JUST HIM AND I.
Narrator: MICHAEL'S INITIAL COZY FEELING WOULD QUICKLY FADE.
[ DOOR HINGES CREAKING .]
THE STRANGENESS IN THIS APARTMENT STARTED ABOUT THREE DAYS IN.
[ CREAKING .]
WE STARTED HEARING THE CABINE DOORS IN THE KITCHEN, LIKE SOMEONE WAS OPENING THEM JUST ENOUGH SO THEY'D TAP, TAP, TAP.
[ CABINET DOOR CLOSES .]
[ CREAKING .]
[ CABINET DOORS RATTLING .]
SO I WENT IN TO CHECK IT OUT.
COULD NEVER FIND OU WHAT WAS GOING ON.
I HAD AN EXTERMINATOR COME 'CAUSE I THOUGHT MAYBE THERE WAS MICE OR SOMETHING.
BUT THERE WASN'T.
SO I HAD NO EXPLANATION FOR IT AT THAT POINT.
IT WAS SHORTLY AFTER THAT, OTHER THINGS STARTED TO HAPPEN.
[ ROCK MUSIC PLAYS LOUDLY .]
THE STEREO WOULD BLAST ON AT 3:20 IN THE MORNING, EVERY SINGLE MORNING.
AND IT WOULD BE FULL BLAST.
I THOUGHT MAYBE MY SON WAS GOOFING AROUND WITH ME AND TURNING IT ON.
[ MUSIC CONTINUES .]
[ RADIO STATIC, INDISTINCT VOICES TALKING .]
BUT THEN WITH EVERYTHING ELSE THAT WAS GOING ON, I STARTED TO BELIEVE HIM THAT HE WASN'T.
[ ELECTRICITY CRACKLES .]
THE ELECTRIC WOULD GO ON AND OFF.
IT WOULD FLICKER.
AND JUST WEIRD THINGS.
WE'D HEAR BANGING ON THE WALL.
AND JUST THERE WAS NO REASON FOR IT.
I WAS THE ONLY APARTMEN ON THAT END.
SO NOBODY COULD BANG ON THE WALLS.
SO WE STARTED TO FIGURE OUT THA SOMETHING STRANGE WAS GOING ON.
THERE WAS THREE DIFFERENT TIMES THAT I WOULD TRY TO LOOK UP THE HISTORY OF THIS BUILDING TO FIND OU WHAT MIGHT HAVE HAPPENED.
[ ELECTRICITY CRACKLES .]
AND EVERY TIME I WOULD TYPE IN TO START LOOKING, MY COMPUTER WOULD DROP OFF.
[ COMPUTER MOUSE CLICKING .]
NOTHING ELSE WOULD DIE.
ALL THE RES OF THE POWER STOOD ON.
JUST THE COMPUTER WOULD GO OFF.
IT WAS A BRAND NEW COMPUTER.
I BROUGHT IT IN TO THE SERVICE GUY THREE DIFFERENT TIMES.
HE FINALLY YELLED AT ME AND TOLD ME DON'T COME BACK 'CAUSE THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT.
Narrator: SOMETHING IN THE BUILDING DID NOT WANT MICHAEL TO KNOW ITS SECRETS.
[ COMPUTER KEYS TAPPING .]
Narrator: MICHAEL VERA WAS HAVING STRANGE EXPERIENCES AFTER MOVING INTO A BUILDING THAT HAD BEEN RENOVATED DUE TO A FIRE.
AT FIRST, I DIDN'T MAKE ANY CONNECTION TO THE FIRE AT ALL.
I JUST THOUGHT -- I THOUGH OUR MINDS WERE PLAYING WITH US.
SO I THOUGHT THAT, YOU KNOW, WE WERE MISSING SOMETHING, THAT, YOU KNOW, AT SOME POIN WE WERE GONNA SAY, "AH, THAT'S WHAT IT WAS.
" AND LAUGH ABOUT IT.
[ FIRE CRACKLING .]
[ WOMAN SCREAMS .]
I HAD RENTED A MOVIE.
AND IN THIS MOVIE, IN THE END, THERE WAS EXTRAS.
AND IT SHOWED HOW TO DO E.
V.
P.
s.
SO WE THOUGHT, "WELL, LET'S TRY IT.
" Narrator: E.
V.
P.
, OR ELECTRONIC VOICE PHENOMENA, ARE BELIEVED TO PICK UP SOUNDS FROM THE SPIRIT WORLD.
ONE NIGHT AFTER RECORDING, AND WE PICK SOMETHING UP.
WELL, WE HAVE ANYONE AND JUST LISTEN IN.
HERE WE GO.
[ RECORDER BUTTON CLICKS .]
[ WHISPERING, GROWLING .]
WHAT WE GOT FIRS WAS LIKE GROWLING.
WE WOULD HEAR GROWLING ON I LIKE [ GROWLS .]
KIND OF LIKE DEMONIC-TYPE GROWLS.
AND MY SON AT ONE POINT SAID, "GO TO THE LIGHT.
GO TO THE LIGHT," YOU KNOW? Ghostly voice: GET AWAY FROM THE LIGHT.
Vara: YOU COULD HEAR, LIKE, A MAN'S VOICE, A DEMONIC-TYPE MAN'S VOICE.
I STARTED PICKING AND POKING AND TRYING TO MAKE THEM MAD.
AND I SAID, "OH, I'M GONNA HAVE A CIGARETTE.
" I HAD SAID, "DO YOU WANT A CIGARETTE?" I SAID, "YOU CAN'T HAVE ANY.
YOU'RE DEAD.
" AND WHEN WE PLAYED THE TAPE BACK, THIS LITTLE GIRL ON THE TAPE SAID, "SO, WHO CARES?" AND IT WAS AS CLEAR AS DAY.
Ghostly girl voice: SO, WHO CARES? AND I'M THINKING A LITTLE GIRL ON THE OTHER SIDE THAT DON'T CARE? THIS IS DANGEROUS.
[ THUD .]
MY HAIR JUST STUCK UP ON END.
I COULDN'T BELIEVE IT.
I SAID, "WOW.
THIS IS REAL.
" I INVITED A WOMAN OVER TO WATCH A MOVIE, HAVE SOME DINNER WITH ME ONE NIGHT.
AND I NEVER TOLD HER ANYTHING 'CAUSE, YOU KNOW, I WASN'T SURE EXACTLY WHAT WAS HAPPENING.
AND A PICTURE OF MY KIDS, IT CAME OFF, AND IT FLEW ACROSS THE ROOM AND THEN SLAMMED AGAINST THE RADIATOR.
AND WE KIND OF LAUGHED IT OFF AND PLAYED IT OFF.
AND I WALKED HER OUT TO HER CAR.
AND WALKING HER OUT, I STARTED TELLING HER WHAT'S BEEN GOING ON.
AND, YOU KNOW, SHE ACTED LIKE SHE WAS INTERESTED.
BUT I THINK SHE THOUGH I WAS CRAZY.
AND WHEN I WALKED BACK INTO THE APARTMENT, A HORSESHOE CAME OFF THE WALL THAT I HAD SCREWED INTO THE PLASTERED WALL.
IT CAME OFF THE WALL, AND IT JUST SKIMMED MY HEAD.
I MEAN, JUST THROWN AT ME LIKE SOMEBODY WAS, YOU KNOW, LIKE SOMEBODY WAS ANGRY AND JUST THREW IT AT ME.
AT THIS POINT, I'M NOT FEELING TOO GOOD ABOUT THE APARTMENT AT ALL.
I'M NOW WORRIED ABOU MY KIDS' SAFETY.
WHEN ALL THE KIDS WERE OVER, I HAD FOUR KIDS, SO THERE WAS TIMES WHEN THEY WOULD BE CAMPING OU IN THE LIVING ROOM FLOOR.
Man: AND THAT'S WHERE YOU MAY COME IN.
IF YOU DRIVE A TANK, A.
P.
C.
, OR OTHER HEAVY-WHEELING VEHICLE ACROSS THE TRACKS [ KNOCKING .]
YOU MAY BE KNOCKING THE RAILS OUT OF ALIGNMENT.
[ KNOCKING CONTINUES .]
WHENEVER YOU NEED IT, MAKE SURE YOU TAKE A HEAVY VEHICLE OVER TRACKS ONLY AT PREPARED CROSSINGS.
[ KNOCKING CONTINUES .]
Vara: AND THERE WAS A FEW TIMES THAT THEY WOULD HEAR, LIKE, BANGING ON THE FLOOR AROUND THEM.
AND, YOU KNOW, I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO TELL THEM.
[ SCREAMING .]
SO WE STARTED ALL SLEEPING TOGETHER, CAMPING OUT ON THE LIVING ROOM FLOOR TOGETHER.
[ COMPUTER MOUSE CLICKING .]
AND MY STEPSON WALKS IN THE ROOM.
AND HE SAYS, "DAD, DO YOU SEE THIS?" BECAUSE I HEARD A LOT OF CLICKING, BUT I DIDN' PAY ATTENTION TO IT.
I LOOKED UP, AND THE MOUSE ON THE COMPUTER WAS MOVING.
Narrator: MICHAEL VERA AND HIS SON HAD DISCOVERED A PARANORMAL ENTITY IN HIS APARTMENT.
[ THUD .]
AND IT WAS GAINING STRENGTH.
[ COMPUTER MOUSE CLICKS .]
Vara: I LOOKED UP, AND THE MOUSE ON THE COMPUTER WAS MOVING, AND IT WAS CLICKING STUFF.
AND WE JUST SAT THERE WITH OUR JAWS DROPPED.
WE COULDN'T BELIEVE WHAT WE WERE SEEING.
Narrator: WAS THE HOME FINALLY READY TO GIVE UP ITS SECRETS? [ COMPUTER MOUSE CLICKING .]
SPIRITS, BEING MADE UP OF ENERGY, CAN MANIPULATE ELECTRONICS QUITE EASILY.
A COMPUTER'S NO DIFFERENT.
I'VE DONE TWO CASES WHERE IT HAS HAPPENED.
I ALSO WORKED ANOTHER CASE WHERE SPIRITS ACTUALLY WERE ABLE THINGS WERE ACTUALLY TYPED OU ON THE COMPUTER.
AND SURE ENOUGH, THERE WAS A PICTURE OF THE NEWSPAPER.
THE BUILDING WAS, YOU KNOW, BURNT UP, AND THE FIRE TRUCKS IN FRONT OF IT.
AND THERE WAS A LITTLE STORY ON IT.
IT TALKED ABOU HOW THE FIRE STARTED AND HOW THE SMOKE POURED THROUGH THE BUILDING AND THAT THERE WAS TWO DEATHS IN THE BUILDING.
[ FIRE CRACKLING .]
THERE WAS A LITTLE GIRL AND HER FATHER WHO LIVED IN MY APARTMENT.
AND WHEN THE FIRE BROKE OUT, THE LITTLE GIRL HID IN MY CLOSET.
[ GIRL SCREAMS .]
WHEN SHE HID IN THERE, THE FATHER APPARENTLY DIED IN THE HALLWAY.
SHE DIED IN THE CLOSE OF THE BUILDING.
[ GIRL SCREAMS .]
AT THAT POINT, THE COMPUTER WENT OUT AGAIN.
I FELT VERY UNEASY WHEN I READ THAT.
IT SEEMED LIKE THEY WERE GETTING MORE COMFORTABLE WITH US AND THEY WERE DOING, YOU KNOW, MORE AND MORE WAS HAPPENING AS WE WENT ALONG.
I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU WANT! I WANT YOU GONE! I STARTED TO PROVOKE THEM.
I WOULD JUST SAY HORRIBLE THINGS TO THEM, LIKE, YOU KNOW, "YOU'RE DEAD.
YOU DON'T BELONG HERE.
YOUR LIFE'S OVER.
GET OUT OF MY APARTMENT.
I'M GONNA CALL SOMEBODY IN HERE.
WE'RE GONNA GET YOU.
YOU'RE GONNA GO.
" I THREATENED TO GET A PRIEST IN THERE.
I THREATENED TO BLESS THE PLACE AND ALL THESE THINGS.
AND EVERY TIME I DID THAT, THE LAMP WOULD GET REAL BRIGHT, I MEAN, ALMOST WHERE YOU'RE WAITING FOR THE BULB TO BLOW UP.
I MEAN, THAT'S HOW BRIGHT IT WOULD GET.
THEN IT WOULD GO BACK DOWN DIM AGAIN.
AND SO I COULD TELL I WAS STARTING TO TOUCH SOME NERVES SOMEWHERE.
Narrator: MICHAEL'S THREATS HAD NO EFFECT.
Vara: THIS LETTER "A" THAT FORMED ON THE WALL WAS IN A BALL OF LIGHT, LIKE A SPOTLIGHT.
AND IN THE MIDDLE WAS A DARK, SHADOWY "A" ON THERE.
IT TURNS OUT THE LITTLE GIRL THAT LIVED THERE, HER NAME WAS ANGELA.
PEOPLE WHO DIE SUDDENLY AND TRAGICALLY OFTEN DON'T NECESSARILY REALIZE THAT THEY'VE PASSED ON.
THEREFORE, THEY'RE GOING TO GO BACK TO THE PLACE THAT'S MOST FAMILIAR TO THEM.
I HAD GOOSE BUMPS ALL OVER MY BODY.
AND IT SCARED THE HELL OUT OF ME.
THE LAST STRAW CAME ALMOST TWO MONTHS IN, IN THIS APARTMENT.
[ FIRE CRACKLING .]
[ ALARM BEEPING .]
I WOKE UP ONE MORNING, AND I SMELLED SOMETHING BURNING.
THAT'S WHAT WOKE ME UP.
AND I NOTICED IT WAS TOO BRIGHT.
I LOOKED, AND THE BLINDS WERE GONE OFF HE WINDOW.
I SAT UP AND LOOKED.
AND CLEAR ACROSS THE ROOM, THESE BLINDS WERE LAYING ON MY ELECTRIC HEATER, MELTING.
AND I WAS THE ONLY ONE HOME THAT DAY.
THESE BLINDS WERE SCREWED INTO THE WALL, THE WOOD FRAME OF THE WINDOW.
AND YOU WOULD HAVE TO TAKE OFF CAPS, YOU WOULD HAVE TO TAKE OFF FOUR SCREWS, AND THEN YOU WOULD HAVE TO LIFT THEM OFF TO TAKE THEM OFF.
AND I DIDN'T HEAR ANY OF THA HAPPENING WHILE I WAS SLEEPING.
I STARTED PACKING.
I SAID, "THAT'S IT.
" THAT WAS THE END OF IT.
I PACKED UP THAT DAY.
I PACKED UP QUICK AND LEFT.
I HAVE NO DOUBT IN MY MIND IT WAS CONNECTED.
AND I THINK I TICKED THEM OFF ENOUGH WHERE THEY WERE WILLING TO BRING ME WITH THEM BECAUSE THAT'S -- OBVIOUSLY, THEY WERE TRYING TO BURN THE PLACE DOWN AGAIN.
I MEAN, THAT'S WHAT IT I MEAN, WHY ELSE WOULD YOU PUT PLASTIC ON A HEATER? AFTER THAT, MY FRIEND FRANK, WHO OWNED THE BUILDING, HE DECIDED HE WOULD MOVE IN.
HE WOULD TAKE MY APARTMENT.
HE LASTED THERE ABOUT A MONTH.
AND THEN A MONTH LATER, THE BUILDING WAS UP FOR SALE.
AND I TRIED TO TALK TO THESE GUYS.
THEY SAID THEY HAD FIXED IT UP.
WHY'D THEY SELL IT? THEY WON'T TELL ME.
I THINK I KNOW, THOUGH.
