ghosts and ghouls.
[eerie music]
Are you ready
for the ultimate terror?
[eerie music]
Live

that even Freddie Krueger

would ask their mommies
to leave the lights on.
[eerie music]
Are you
afraid of the dark?
[suspenseful music]
[flashlight clicks]
Do not
adjust your set. [eerie music]

We're gonna have a blast

We've got an evening
so terrifying for you,
both in TV land,
and live
on FM radio. [background music]
[radio static]
Ice
FM.
I'm gonna be spending
the entire evening
in this spooky attic.
And it is actually really
quite creepy.
That's not a joke.
I mean,
just look at it.
But yeah, we are raising money
for Victim Support NI.
So if you think I'm daft,
putting myself through this,
well then, ways to donate
will be on your screen now.
[screeching sound]
I keep thinking that someone is
hanging around behind me.
So please,
don't leave me up
here on my own!
- Well, it couldn't happen
to a nicer fella.
Good evening, folks!
Haunted Ulster Live
is a TV show
like no other.
What we are doing here tonight
is something
quite extraordinary,
and you are not going to
want to avert
your eyes
for even a second.
Whilst the resident DJ,
sits fearfully up in the attic,
playing music of a
questionable taste.
Myself, and my co-host Michelle,
will show you around the house
like no other.
Here,
at Castle Gardens,
in the north of the city.
Now, I really
have to emphasize
seriously.
If you are letting your
children stay
out late
to watch this,
don't hold us responsible.
This
is not for the faint-hearted.
I'll introduce you to
the McKillen Family
indoors in a moment or two.
But first,
have a look at this...
[eerie rustling sound]
[eerie rustling sound]
[eerie rustling sound]
[door slammed shut]
[woman screaming]
That was a reconstruction
of events
that took place
in this very house.
But this photograph
is very real.
It was taken fourteen years ago,
and it is considered to be
one of the most compelling
photographs
of a ghost,
in modern times.
And that was taken
[inhales] right through
this door.
[inhales] Now this photograph
has been studied
by experts
all over the world,
and none of them
has been able to come up with a
convincing,
rational explanation.
[Inhales] So what do you think?
Could it be a ghost,
or a hoax,
or a trick of the light?
Are you afraid
of the supernatural?
Or do you think
it's just a load of
old poppycock?
[inhale] Now, in moment or two,
we will meet
the McKillen Family.
Who might just change your mind,
[inhales deeply] but
I'm not in this by myself.
Here,
holding my hand,
because
I'm a big scaredy cat
of truth be told,
is the lovely
Michelle Kelly.
[Inhales] Michelle,
do you believe in
the supernatural?
[dramatic scary music]
-Ghost Tent
[man screaming]
- Thanks, Gerry.
Do you know what?
I do believe.
My granny use to tell me stories
about the banshee
when I was
a wee,
and it still terrifies me
thinking about it.
[deeply inhales]
Now, here we are
with all of our state
of the art equipment
in the ghost hunt.
Original, isn't it?
We're hoping to catch a ghost
live on video
tonight.
And there are no better
lads for the job,
than our very own
Ulster Ghost Busters
The Northern Ireland Paranormal
Research Association.
[Smirks] That doesn't exactly
roll off the tongue.
I'm just gonna call you
Ghost Busters. [laughs]
They've set up
all sorts of impressive
cameras,
microphones and sensors
around the house,
to monitor any supernatural
activity.
Kyle,
you're the man in charge
of all these.
What equipment are you using,
and what can we expect to see?
[Smiles]
- Hi, Michelle.
Well, basically, we
use a mix of
standard and specialized
equipment,
to capture audio and video
for our research.
We have electromagnetic
field meters,
and temperature gauges
set up in the kitchen
and attic.
Which should give us a reading
on any poltergeist activity.
We have
obviously cameras,
cameras all over the
house. [laughs]
but, in the kitchen
and attic we're using BVS,
and everywhere else.
- BVS?
- Beyond Visible Spectrum.
[chuckles] It works
off black
light on
an infrared frequency.
So if you
look t the kitchen monitor,
you can see it gives
us a good quality,
a broadcast quality image
in a pitch black room.
[smiles]
So, we also have
body cams
for anyone that wants them.
And microphones.
- Well, I understood
about two of those words,
but you certainly seem to know
what you're talking about.
- Well, the NPRIA,
N-I-P-R-A,
are paranormal investigators,
but believe it or not,
I call myself a skeptic.
So anything we find,
we will
test
rigorously,
before calling it
supernatural.
- Thanks, Kyle.
Well, enough of all
the techy stuff.
What exactly
are we investigating?
Gerry's with the McKillen
Family, - Okay. Standby
- to find out. - Let's
go in 3,
2, 1
[rustling sound]
- Don't get up,
I will come down to you.
Now, this is
the lady of the manor,
Sarah,
and
- Stephen - and - Rose
- Very good.
Thank you
for letting us into
your lovely home,
and I hope these agents
aren't traipsing dirt
all over your carpet.
Now,
Sarah, tell us a bit about
what's been going on.
- Well,
we've lived here
nearly five years.
Around last November,
I noticed foot prints
in the kitchen.
Black,
barefoot prints,
that would appear and disappear.
- Barefoot prints?
Like, a big grizzle?
- Bare feet,
like a man's feet.
Then at night,
there were weird noises, too.
I thought it was one
of these two.
Then it happened
when I was in the house alone.
- And what were the noises?
- Scratching,
or scraping on the walls.
or in them.
-Dear God,
and
footprints on the floor?
- Very faint, [inhales deeply]
as if
someone was
walking through the kitchen.
Before you could scrub them off,
it disappear on their own.
Now, Sarah, you're a
single mother, aren't you?
- I'm a Nurse.
- A nurse,
and you don't feel that you're
overworked or on any medication?
- No,
not at all. [smiles]
- And how do you know
it wasn't one of these two
messing about?
Now, Stephen,
did you hear all this, too?
- Stephen had to come in
to me a couple
of times,
he was that scared.
- No. I wasn't. [Ladies laugh]
- Now, Stephen,
you told one of our team
something your teacher said.
- I could've throttled them.
- Blackfoot jack.
- Blackfoot Jack?
Now, what is that?
Is that a local ghost story,
or an urban myth?
- People say,
if there were black foot
prints beside
your bed,
it means, he'd been there.
- And have black footprints
appeared
beside your bed?
- No, the footprints
have started going
up the stairs.
There's something weird
about the attic.
- Well, I hope DJ Declan
is hearing all these.
[music playing]
[funky music playing
Is he going to the
toilet up there?
Do we know?
I probably
shouldn't ask questions like
that. - I only go
up to attic
to bring rose back down.
- And why does she go
up to the attic?
- She sleepwalks sometimes.
- Now, Rose, you've
been very quiet.
How are you?
- I'm okay.
- Rose is fine
and you have your
wee bunny there.
So, Rose,
how often do you sleepwalk
up to the attic?
- A couple of times.
Can't remember.
- I just bring her back to bed.
- Oh, that's good
because you're not supposed
to wake up people
who are sleepwalking.
It leads to mental shock
and all sorts
of things.
And
she just walks up there?
- She talks
sometimes.
Like she's having bad dreams,
don't you?
- Yeah
- Since she was young, [sighs]
I felt like
Rose could
sense things.
I don't know.
- And can you remember
these dreams?
- Yes
- Can you tell us?
- In the dreams,
there's a man.
He drags me up the stairs,
to hurt me.
[eerie silence]
- What do you do all
day to relax?
- [Exhale]
- My goodness.
So very, very serious stuff.
Are youse okay?
Really?
And do we think it's the ghost
bringing you upstairs
to the attic?
Blackfoot Jack, the Ghost
with the smelly feet?
Well, maybe we'll
find out because
I don't like the thought of
youse all living
in fear.
We want youse all to
be safe and well
because your well-being is
what's most important.
Isn't that right?
- A hundred percent
- And what would you like to
get out of tonight, Sarah?
- Well,
if there is a ghost,
I'd like to know who they are,
and how we can get
them to leave.
- Well, hopefully
we'll be
able to
get you some answers
because all this activity,
the photograph we showed you,
and Blackfoot Jack, and
everything else,
it all points to this house
having some sort of history.
And,
maybe
we will solve the mystery.
[wind blows]
[metal dropping sound ] Oh God.
[wood scratching sound]
[footsteps]
[rustling sound]
- How long is she there?
- Who was in here?
[light switched]
-That's never happened before.
- Michelle?
Michelle, did we get
that on camera?
- Were just checking
that now, Gerry.
Unfortunately, our Beyond
Visible Spectrum camera
was a bit too beyond visible
in that part of
the kitchen.
but we heard it.
- [sighs]
- Who did that?
look what's all scratched
into the wall here.
What does that mean?
[metal clanks]
- Daryl is going to examine
that in a wee minute.
We have a definite
[metal clanks]
dip in the temperature
by a few degrees there.
[metal clanks]
[TV static sound]
1-1-0-1.
The image we have is very dark.
- I don't think it's a ghost
who scratched my name
into the wall.
-[metal clanking]
[creepy music plays]
- Ghost tent
- Kyle is going to
recalibrate the camera.
That is weird.
Does "1101"
mean anything to you, Kyle?
- I don't know.
Binary, Maybe?
- Maybe?
That is spooky.
No.
[Gasps]
Our paranormal investigators
are experts
with all this techy stuff,
but actually contacting ghosts
is a whole different kettle
of fish altogether.
We have two people on their way
who can help us do just that.
And we're going to meet them
after this short break.
Do not go away.
- and we're off.
- Someone's shut
that off please.
-Youse are gonna give
me a heart attack.
Who did it?
Do you have someone in there?
- Thirteen!
One, one, zero, one
in binary
is 13.
-That's the number of
the house,
isn't it?
13 Castle Gardens.
- Michelle,
can you take that shawl off?
[suspense music]
- What?
- The shawl or whatever it is.
- It's freezing
Look.
[Exhales]
- Well, Take it off when
we're going again.
It's too dark.
- Is Gerry miked up in
the the front room?
- Back in 20 seconds.
- Did we change the
intro to
the VT?
[beeping sound]
- Someone showed me
a new page earlier,
but I didn't have
time to read it.
- Can you read the teleprompter?
- Yes,
I just prefer
to memorize it.
- Maybe she can't read.
-[Zips] [laughs]
- I don't trust those kids.
I'm serious.
The kids are always behind it.
- How? - They don't look
a pair of wee shits.
[inhales deeply]
-[Exhales]
- You okay?
- I'm having a stroke.
[sighs]
No, no, it's heartburn.
[exhales]
No. I am not going
up those stairs.
Remember that, Dave?
- You've made that clear
already, Gerry.
- We're back in three,
two, one...
[Metal cranking]
[Suspenseful music]
- Welcome back to Haunted
Ulster Live.
If you're just joining us,
we've already had some
supernatural goings on
and we have two people - Okay
- Go V- About to arrive
who can help us
actually contact the ghosts.
Sinad Love and Robert Pratt.
- I've always been fascinated
by ley lines.
Ancient channels
beneath our feet
that hold huge amounts
of psychic energy.
Enough to open a gateway
to other worlds where
space and time exist outside of
the accepted laws of Physics.
There's so much modern science
doesn't understand.
Could there be a scientific
explanation for the
supernatural?
Is it possible to journey
between worlds?
Could you end up trapped like
a ghost lost
in time?
I've been detecting ley lines
for over 10 years.
I'm simply relearning
ancient forgotten
druid knowledge.
I lived a normal life
for a long time.
"Walking in darkness",
I call it.
Others would call it "Married
with children".
But all my life, I've sensed
and seen things
that make me question what
normal really is.
- People think of graveyards
as scary places,
but to me,
they're a place of rest.
When I walk through a graveyard,
I think:
"Well done you,
you've done your bit,
time for a lie down."
It's in unexpected places
that I sense restless spirits.
We all know tha clich
of haunted cottages
and old mansions.
But spirits
are all around us.
I hear their voices
crying out
to me,
trapped in our world,
yearning to find peace
in the spirit world.
-[Chanting]
- It can be for a simple reason.
Maybe Aunt Jemima wants
to say she loves you.
Sometime it's more practical.
Maybe Uncle Tom wants
to remind you
that he has left a winning
docket in the
biscuit tin.
- Hello. - Hi.
- This was my late wife's.
I use it every night.
And I hear her voice.
- Sometimes objects
can attach themselves
to the spirit of their
loved ones.
How did she die?
- Lung cancer.
- I know what it's
like to suffer
an irreparable loss.
So I've given my life
to guiding spirits to
the place of light,
where they can find peace.
To be able to do that?
Well,
it's a beautiful thing.
My name is Sinad Love
and I talk to ghosts.
-[Woman screaming]
[music fades]
- Thanks my darling.
-That's alright.
-[exhales]
-So, this is the place?
-Yes.
What do you think?
[breathes heavily]
-Are you alright?
- woooh
[exhales]
- Oh, yes.
No, I feel that too.
-Can you feel it?
-Yes.
-It's like something doesn't
want me here.
I mean, I'm fine here, but...
when I go to the garden.
He's not happy.
-He?
-He
-So it's a man, then?
-Definitely a man, definitely.
and a very, very sad man.
-You're not far off
the mark there.
-You know, don't you?
[sighs]
Well, we're not gonna be much
use out here, Robert.
-Well, can you make it?
-I'm going to have to.
-Come on, I'll give you a hand.
-But I'm telling you something,
this man does not want me here.
He's actually barking
at me right now.
-Come on, Let's go.
-Sinad and Robert.
-Gerry, hello. [kisses]
Good to see you.
Thank you for coming.
Come on Inside
-Good to see you Gerry.
-Mind your wee step there.
-Oh, Yeah.
-So, we are just going
through here.
-Okay.
-Just here.
-Alright, You must be
very busy people
at this time of year.
-Yeah
Sinad, if you could just sit
down on the
sofa there
and, Robert, if you just sit
down beside Sinad there
Are you okay?
-Yes, I'm fine. -Are you sure?
you seemed to sense
something outside.
-Now you see, even coming
into a place
like this.
it can have a profound effect
on someone like Sinad.
-Yes, I can see that.
so, what do you think of
our wee operation here?
-Well it's very impressive,
Gerry.
-It's like you're shooting
a Hollywood movie.
I'm half expecting Liam Neeson
to walk in through
that door.
-[laughter]
-And, Sinad, this is your
first time in
the house?
-It is. And as a medium,
I'm a vessel,
an open channel for the
spirits to come through
and commune with
their loved ones
where there might be some
unfinished business.
And 99% of the time, you know,
that would come from
a place of love.
-But tonight the spirit isn't
coming from a place of love?
-No. That out there,
that was different.
And what I'm
mostly sensing in here is
anger and loss.
And the man that's
speaking
to me,
and I am certain it's a man,
is very sad
and very, very angry.
-Now hold on
he's already speaking to you?
-As I told you,
this is how quickly she goes.
-What's he saying?
[sighs] -At the moment.
it's, you know...
Sorry, it could just
be a bit too soon.
-What?
-It's one word.
Miranda?
- Mirabel?
-Mirabel?
That's it, Mirabel.
-So already you are
sensing the ghost
of an angry man outside.
Well, that's extraordinary.
I mean, I thought we'd need
to light all these candles.
-Well, there'll be time
for that too, Gerry.
-Right, Before you arrived,
we had some poltergeist activity
in the kitchen.
-That doesn't surprise me.
-And we found
my own name
carved into the wall.
Very poorly carved, I might add.
So Robert,
you might put us out
of our misery.
I hear you are something of a
World Wide Web wiz,
and I gather
you've already been doing
some digging on the house.
-Well,
digging being the operative
word, Gerry.
Believe it or not,
many thousands of years ago,
there was a standing stone
on the site of this house.
Now, It was probably used
to worship some Pagan
God or other.
but the house itself
is much younger.
It was built at the
turn of the century
by a man named John Newell.
Now, Mr Newell's daughter
died tragically
at the age of 13 in 1912,
and he became obsessed
with the occult
in trying to contact her
in the afterlife.
It drove him to madness.
And according to local legend,
he hanged himself in the attic.
-That's very dark.
Does that chime
with what you're experiencing,
Sinad?
-Yeah, very much so,
that's all feeling
very real
to me.
What I'm trying to work out
is where the name Mirabel
fits into it.
-Well, we know from
the 1911 census
that his daughter's name,
was Mirabel.
-[sighs] There you go.
-Well, I mean,
you can just pick that up
from standing outside
in the garden?
I mean, that is extraordinary.
I mean, it really is.
So does that mean
that this
is a photograph of
our John Newell?
-Oh. Wow,
would you look at that?
-It could very well be.
There have been countless
reports of ghost
sightings in this house
throughout the years.
-Well, I hope they've
changed the carpets.
Now, Blackfoot Jack
is a local ghost story
in these parts.
So,
do we have a double
haunting here?
Is that even a thing?
-It's very possible.
are a very common spectral
phenomenon.
Now Blackfoot Jack, that legend
is very interesting.
It goes back centuries.
In fact, the name
of this street,
Castle Gardens,
could come from the Gaelic
'cos sileadh'
which means 'foot dripping
with blood'.
-That is fascinating.
Now, Sinad, have you
ever dealt with a ghost
like this before?
I mean,
what has he got against
the pots and pans?
-[Laughs]
-Well, he's not trying
to boil an egg, Gerry.
A poltergeist
is normally the sign of
a restless spirit.
And normally they
focus themselves
on a particularly psychic person
which is often a child.
My guess is that
John is trapped in our world,
and he needs me
to guide him to the spirit world
where he can find peace.
-So we need a seance?
-That could be risky.
I mean,
even sitting in this house
you can feel the power.
-Absolutely.
-Look at that,
that light's flickering.
-Yes, it is a wee bit.
-Yeah.
-No. No. No.
I think the best course of
action in the first instance,
is to try and encourage
the spirit
to communicate
with Sinad through other means.
-Yes. Well,
if we could get him
to open up
to me.
I could guide John
to the spirit world
to be with his daughter
tonight.
-So, a family reunion.
-Yeah.
- That would be lovely.
That would
be lovely.
So Michelle,
I don't know whether you
could hear
all that,
but it is truly fascinating
stuff.
But could you tell us,
can the neighbours
shed any light in all this?
-Very, very intriguing, Gerry.
Well, It looks like our presence
is attracting
the living
as well as the dead.
We have quite the crowd
gathering right here.
Happy Halloween, everyone!
-[crowd cheering]
This is like a party.
And it looks like we've got some
Declan fans here.
[women cheering]
-We love Declan!
-I can't believe he's been
up there that long.
-I would be wetting myself.
-Do you believe in ghosts?
-Is he gonna come down soon?
-I do!
-Can we please go
up and see him?
-Well, have you heard
any stories
about the house being haunted?
-When's Declan gonna come out?
[laughters
-They're really worried
about him,
that's so sweet!
-Michelle, are you gonna
be on Blue Peter?
-Well,
I think we have some
actual residents
up here.
Hello, do you live
in this street?
-Yes.
-And have either of you heard
any stories about the house?
-No.
-Or the legend of
Blackfoot Jack?
-That's a load of nonsense.
-Your woman has no shame
putting herself
on the television for
all the world
to see.
-I remember the kids in
school used
to sing
a song about Blackfoot Jack.
They said if you saw a black
footprint in
your house,
it meant he was gonna snatch you
from your bed while
you are sleeping.
-Can you remember how
the song went?
-Something like Blackfoot Jack,
Blackfoot Jack
-[humming]
I think I might recognise
that tune. [giggles]
-Why don't they go to the
bottom of the street
where the other fenians are?
-Lots of people's are coming out
to support us tonight.
Now, we actually
have a neighbour
who saw the ghost
in the 1980's.
We've got someone trying
to coax him out currently.
So we'll fingers-crossed
have that
for you,
after this short break.
-Cut. [clicking sound]
- Bigoted old.
-[mic thuds]
-Why am I the only one
in a fucking costume?
-You look great.
-'Michelle, Michelle,
is it true about Blue Peter?'
-Is it?
-Sure, why would they
hire someone
who can't read for Blue Peter?
[thuds] [footsteps]
-Well, you can see why
I don't talk to the
public anymore.
And,
you don't have to mention
your ex-husband if
you don't
want to.
-Why would I?
-What age are you, Rose?
-Ten.
-That's a beautiful age.
You look a lot like
his Mirabel.
-Hold on Sinad,
we're not back yet.
-Beautiful little girl.
He's here for you.
-He's standing there.
-Mummy? -Is he there?
-Back in three, two...
-Ask him what he wants.
-Sinad, what does he look like?
-Welcome back to Haunted
Ulster Live.
Now our medium Sinad,
has just seen something,
or someone?
-Look at the blood dripping
from his feet.
-Now that's enough, Sinad.
Maybe we should
get them out of here.
Michelle,
can you see
blood footprints on the floor?
-He's so angry.
-Kyle is just enhancing
the image now.
It looks a little cleaner.
-[High pitch sound
-The EFM is spiking.
[thuds]
-Are you John Newell?
-He's laughing.
-Well, he needs to
make his mind up.
-What do you want, John?
What do you want? [static sound]
-He's here for Rose!
-Right, let them out of here.
-[light bulb explodes]
-[gasps]
- Whoah. Jesus!
-Well, this would be
a good time to check in
with DJ Declan
in the attic.
Declan, are you still with us?
[radio static]
[ghostly sound]
[suspenseful music]
[ghostly sound]
[ghostly sound]
-[laughs]
[suspenseful music]
-I was gonna dress up
as Gerry Burns,
but I couldn't find a mask
scary enough.[chuckles]
[bell sound]
-You know, the longer
I spend up here,
the more I think it's grand.
We've been having
a lot of support
from the charity lines.
So we're now
up to 3000 pounds in donations,
so thank you,
thank you!
And in other news,
I've just finished
my sandwiches,
so I'm hoping there's a nice
pizza place nearby.
[paper thrown sound]
Please don't leave me
up here all alone.
I don't wanna be as dead
as Gerry Burns' career
[laughs]
-He's gone upstairs.
-No, You're not going anywhere
for a minute.
-Let me go.
[footsteps]
[wood creaking sound]
[footsteps]
-Is she alright?
-I've never seen her
affected like this before.
-Michelle, are we monitoring
the room
Sinad is going to?
What is this?
-It's a spare room.
Daryl's on his way,
if you and Robert
wanna head on up.
[rustling sound]
[footsteps
[footsteps]
[wood creaking sound]
[footsteps]
[footsteps]
[rustling sound]
-You alright?
Stay beside me and
you'll be fine.
-I'm not scared,
I'm looking after him.
[rustling sound]
[footsteps]
[wood creaking]
[silence]
[silence]
[silence]
-[Door opening]
-It's freezing.
-There's something very unusual.
-The amount of potpourri
in the room is unusual. [gasps]
-No. No. No, there's
something wrong.
-What?
-[Loud knock]
-You scared
the life out of me.
-Sorry,
there's a couple
of things
we can
put up in the room.
-What's that there?
-It's a temperature gauge.
-A temperature gauge?
-It can record any fluctuation
in temperature in the room.
[gasps]
-We call that a thermometer
in my house.
-I'm gonna try and
talk to Sinad
and see if she can hear me.
Sinad?
Is John Newell in the room?
[sighs]
-I don't know.
-Is someone else talking
through Sinad?
-Yes.
[exhales deeply]
-My name's Robert.
What's your name?
-Robert
[exhales deeply]
- John,
is that you?
or do you prefer ''Jack?'
[disturbing laugh]
[sinister laugh]
[inhales heavily]
[gnarly voice]
[sinister laugh]
- Jack
[inhales heavily]
Jack!
[breathes heavily]
[panting]
Where's Rose? [panting]
I should see if
[radio static sound] -Gerry?
- Stop you radio!
[radio static]
- Gerry, you need to
come down here.
- Michelle, did you see that?
- You need to come down here.
We got something on tape.
- Apparently they got
something
on tape.
- Audio recordings are
spectral phenomena
can pick up much more
I'd love to hear that.
- Alright
- She asleep?
Somebody should keep
an eye on her.
Michelle, is Rose with youse?
-She's okay.
She's down here with her mommy.
[clicking sound
[rustling sound]
[footsteps]
[door closes]
-So,
this John Newell,
did he drive himself mad,
trying to contact his
dead daughter?
- Possibly.
Ouija boards were a
very popular way
to try and contact the
dead back in
the day.
-Like using a seance?
-Well,
seances can be very dangerous.
They release huge amounts
of psychic energy
and we're on a ley line.
That's just a... -
Not lighting road
for psychic energy,
as you said that earlier.
- Exactly
Psychic energy can do all sorts.
[magnetic sound]
- Now you strike me as
a reasonable man.
What got you into all these
paranormal stuff?
I mean,
can you study it
at Belfast Tech?
because they are an O level?
[chuckles]
- Actually, I
trained as chartered surveyor.
The internet's a good
place to start.
It's where I did most
of my training,
you could say.
- [Gasps] The World Wide Web.
I thought that was just C Fox
with extra pages.
That's just me.
[Footsteps]
[Suspense music]
- Ghost Tent
- I got something
when Robert was asking
the questions.
[screeching sound]
[gasps excitedly]
- What is that? [laughs]
- it's from
when
Robert asked. [clicks]
-Can you hear me?
[eerie radio static]
- Could it just be
interference from the mic?
- Sounds like a voice.
[radio static]
- I'm going to keep
working
on it,
see if I can make it
more recognizable.
[eerie radio statics]
[distorted talking]
[radio statics] [distorted
woman's voice]
- It's French,
or
it sounds like it's foreign.
- Hold on, hold on.
One second. Look.
[distorted talking continues]
[Excited laugh] This is just...
I picked this up in the room
less than a minute ago. [clicks]
- I'm nearly there.
I'm nearly... I'm nearly there.
[distorted radio statics]
[very faint voice]
[Excited laughters]
-We heard that.
- It's unmistakable.
- That's exactly what I heard.
- I'm nearly there.
- It's coming from right
inside the room, too.
I've got it on three different
microphones.
Seeing waveforms.
- Should we go back up?
- I'm nearly there.
- Oh my God.
- Unmistakably, a man's voice!
-Hear you.
- Was that somebody else?
- I'll keep working on that
[typing]
- I'm nearly there.
- You're enjoying this
too much, Michelle.
- I'm here,
what's going on?
-There's so many.
- Oh my God.
[radio static]
-Driving 13
- Doing a Dur about,
there's a huge crowd outside.
- Oh. [thuds]
- What?
- Driving 13, doing a dur about
and there is a huge
crown outside.
- It's a taxi redo.
- You are joking me.
[Footsteps]
- But just paid for it.
- It's not for us,
it's for Declan.
Can we bring it up?
- You ordered a pizza
for Declan Lindsay?
[Giggles] -Yes.
-He said he was dying
of starvation.
- Will you tell him
it's from us?
[giggles]
- Who's going to pay for this?
- I suppose we are.
I'll send it up to him.
[Gasps] - We will be right back
after this short break.
How much do I owe you?
[crowd screams]
[people cheering]
[crowd clapping]
[crowd clapping]
[Tapping sound]
- The ghost ordered the
pizza? [door closed]
- They sent up.
- Declan's fans are hilarious.
- My stalker isn't not there?
Is she?
Oh dear God.
Even she's given up on me.
Do you know she wrote me
a whole album once.
- I told the producer.
Rose is too scarred for this.
The medium freaks her out.
- To be honest,
she freaks me out a wee bit too.
With the help of,
if I had
a word.
- We need to get Sinead
back down here.
That runs rubbish to film it.
We'll do the seance
in the front room
with Rose after the break.
That'll play far better.
- Robert, didn't think
we should do seance.
- Robert's not producing
the show.
[Exhales] - Sinead,
you gave us a fright there.
Are you alright?
- Yes
But,
I know
what you're really scared
of up there.
You've left this story before.
- What?
- In the attic?
Your poor dad.
- 60 seconds.
- Robert, they wanna
bring Rose in
for the seance.
- I don't think that's
a good idea.
- Well look, people
expect a seance,
candles, hypnosis,
that sort of thing.
Look, Sinead said she can
put her on a sleepwalking stage.
- She's scared.
[sighs] - Oh God. She'd
be in no danger.
Look, we're doing it.
End of.
- There's too much
psychic energy
beneath this house.
You have no idea!
It's like I'm being
Albion Colliery
- What?
- The air force 70 in wheels,
It follows the ley
line precisely.
[door opens] It's
a mine in wheels
with enough psychic energy
- Robert, I swear to God
If you say psychic energy
one more time
I am going to lose my mind.
- We are on the most
potent ley line
in all of County Antrim.
If Rose is a psychic, seance...
- Oh, for God's sake!
It's supposed to be
a haunted house.
We are doing a seance.
That's final. -D
With or without you.
- We have these people
on as experts.
We should listen to them.
- You, back outside.
- Don't speak to me like that.
- Michelle.
- Gerry, can you ask Robert
if Daryl can fit him with
a body cam in the kitchen?
- Shouldn't talk to
people like that.
[Footsteps]
- Your jacket.
- Oh, sorry.
-What's Albion?
-Albion Colliery.
You know, in 1974,
a man went missing near
an old mine
in Wales.
They found his body
a year later,
when they were building
the air road.
Along with messages he had
written in the walls.
He died in the mine's
collapse in 1894.
[Chuckles - Sorry.
No, sorry.
You do believe
that stuff. Sorry.
- That's fine. I'm used
to being laughed at.
- You shouldn't be.
- Ready to go live.
[Tapping sound]
[Tapping]
-Okay
- Only if,
What, do you come in too?
- Yeah
- Okay.
- 3...
2...
1...
- Welcome back.
Well.
Through Rose,
our medium, Sinead,
is gonna try to speak
directly to our ghost,
John Newell.
To see if we can
help him on his
way back to the spirit world.
Can't believe it's barely
half 9 already,
we have an
exorcism on our hands.
- I just learned to ignore it,
like you do. get your...
- Michelle, hire the team
monitoring already.
-Gerry, Yes.
We have very sensitive
microphones in
the room,
and we have an EFM
an Electronic Field Meter.
- Yeah, the EFM records changes
in the electromagnetic field.
- If anything strange
happens in that room,
we'll pick it up.
[glass breaks]
[laughing]
- Oop, dear. Somebody have
to clean that up.
Careful, you don't cut yourself.
- Fifteen...
Fourteen...
Thirteen...
- Rose.
You can no longer
feel your body.
You are as light as a feather.
[Taking off shoes]
- Twelve...
eleven...
You're looking down
on yourself now.
Ten...
9...
Can you feel the warmth?
The room isn't cold anymore.
8...
7...
There are lots of voices
around you, Rose
calling out to you.
But there's is one voice
in particular
6...
5...
4...
3...
Let John reach you.
- Can you hear me, John?
[TV static sound]
- John, can you hear me?
[hums]
- Is John Newell here?
- He says...
he says call him 'Jack'
- Jack, we can call you Jack.
What do you want, Jack?
Are you looking for
you daughter, Jack?
- Daughter...
Girl with the bunny?
- I can help you reach her Jack.
- [laughs]
- What's so funny, Rose?
- It's Jack.
- What's so funny, Jack?
- I'm gonna take her away.
- Who are you gonna take away?
- The little girl you're
talking to.
- Sorry, I'd really prefer
if we stop this side.
- Walking in darkness,
they call it?
- Jack
I can help you get to the light.
[whispers] -Darkness
Rose?
- So, Kyle
John Newell,
is Blackfoot Jack after all?
- See I don't know
if I believe that.
I mean, the Legend
of Blackfoot Jack,
dates back centuries, maybe?
Maybe more.
But John Newell died when?
1910s.
- Why do you think they
took off their shoes?
- I'm not sure.
Something to do with earthing
their bodies,
I think?
I'll have to ask
Robert that one.
- And have we picked up
anything unusual in
the microphone,
or the camera?
- No
- Get the camera on Rose.
- Your daughter, Maribel,
is waiting
for you.
I can guide you.
- That's what they call me.
Blackfoot Jack
- Close up.
- Blackfoot Jack.
Not so right, he's at your back.
- God
- I remember
we used to sing that song
when we were kids.
- Blackfoot Jack,
blackfoot Jack
beats the bunny in his sack.
- Why do they call you
'Blackfoot Jack'?
- Why does it want the bunny?
- I'm always here,
Looks like little old sheep.
I've waited a long time
for this little girl.
- That's enough.
- And doesn't she look
like your Lily?
What?!
What did you say?
- Doesn't she look like
you're lost, Lily?
- Stop us.
- Mommy
Mommy
- [cries] Lily
Oh, my darling.
[wheezing]
- Call an ambulance
She's having a seizure!
- She keeps an insulin
pen in her handbag
- She needs it right now.
- It's in the spine room
I'll go in there now.
-Robert watch the child.
- Stay awake
stay awake.
- You did this to me,
you stupid fucking bitch!
-Rose McKillen!
[Beeping sound]
[Suspenseful music]
- Ghost Tent
- We'll just leave them there
for a few moments.
Just so our viewers know,
the bang you heard
we don't think
was a security incident.
We're not exactly
sure what
it was,
but,
I'm sure
Sinead will be okay.
The ambulance is here,
and the paramedics are
working on
her now.
So
Kyle,
any readings
from the cameras or
the microphones
during the seance?
We were picking up
some audio spikes when
Rose was speaking.
- That's one word
for it [giggles]
-Could be the,
taxi radio again
- Since the problem
with radio is
flying about all around us.
Remember the time we
accidentally
picked up
that TV broadcast of Baywatch
on those old monitors?
- Yeah.
Accidentally...
- Right.
Well,
let's go up to the attic and see
how Declan is getting on.
Just before,
we go to a commercial break.
- I can't believe I
missed the seance.
Did her head start spinning?
You know what,
I actually think I'm
safer up here.
[Background music]
I have been asking listeners
for their favorite
Halloween jokes,
and I can now announce a winner.
So thank you Gary
from Tigers Bay.
Gary's joke was,
what does a skeleton order
at a restaurant?
Spare ribs
[laughs]
Spare ribs.
What? No.
It's a cracker
[laughs]
[TV Static]
- Lay lines are not
just energy lines,
but are also pathways,
that allow individuals
to access
different dimensions
of time and space.
Proponents of this theory
suggests that
certain points along
[TV click sound]
-Giving in to the
plastic paganism
of Halloween,
inviting children to
meddle in the occult
and open their hearts
to the devil.
To promote these,
satanic rituals on
Ulster Television.
It's nothing short
of diabolic.
How many souls [footsteps]
of people...
- Did Rose know
that Sinead had a daughter
who died?
- Did you know Sinead
have such a serious condition?
[wood taps]
- This one hates you.
- Are you seriously trying to
blame this on a 10-year-old?
- The footage from
the graveyard.
Did your kids see the VT?
- Can you seriously just leave
us alone for
a minute,
please?
- You said back that
Jack wasn't real.
- He's not.
- I wanna go to dad's.
- You cant
- Look.
- We just wanna make sure
everyone's okay.
- Please, give us some
space in our
own home
- Right now, the kitchen
walls changed.
- What?
- There's an extra 9.
1 1 9 0 1 9
- Look
[clicks]
[Footsteps]
[Beeping sound]
- At Moira carpets, we've
got you covered.
-What happened?
I'll have to pull my shoe off.
-Oh Don't worry about that.
You know he's the executive
producer.
[TV noise background
Show must go on.
[police siren]
- Sinead will be alright
- Okay, ready?
- What did she mean earlier?
Said something about you'd
left this before.
- When I was 10,
I
found my father
in the attic and
he was...
She must have read it somewhere.
- Gerry, I'm so sorry.
- Oh no. Don't be
don't be.
None of this is your fault.
And
you are gonna have a big career.
Whatever happens.
Now, Blue Peter,
that's not just rumors.
Network TV
you're gonna be a
household name.
- I think I've glimpsed
my big career,
consists of 'Shut up, stand
there and smile'.
- Thirty seconds.
- Ah it can be whatever
you want it
to be.
After this, I'm finished.
- The great Gerry Burns?
No you are not.
- Michelle,
can you stand outside now?
- Next request is from Jeff
Gad from Andytown.
Where the beach boy's
doing monster mad. [door closes]
- 3... 2... 1... [Footsteps]
[crowd murmurs]
- Our Declan fans are
still here. [giggles]
Hello, witches. [giggles]
- Hi
- How do you think
he's getting on?
- Oh, I can't believe
he's still
up there.
- I would be shitting
myself [giggles]
- Is the woman alright?
- She'll be fine
- And the creepy wee girl?
- Rose?
- I'd keep an eye for her.
- Well,
we have lots of other
people here.
Hello!
Are you... do you live
in the street?
- All my life.
-Always knew there was
something funny about
this house.
-And,
had you ever heard
of Blackfoot Jack?
Or
John Newell?
- No
- Do you believe in
ghosts yourself?
- People's mind play
tricks on them.
But I'll tell you,
I would love it if
my late husband
come back for a wee
visit.[laughs]
[crowd laughs] - Aww
Well, make sure that you
get some biscuits and
tea over there.
We don't want you getting
too cold. Okay?
- Okay
- I grew up across the street.
- And what do you make
make of all this?
- I'm telling you now.
I definitely remember
hearing stories
about that house
when I was a wee.
- Really?
- Yeah, see,
the story goes,
see if you woke up
beside your bed,
and you saw footprints.
The very next night,
Blackfoot Jack would snatch
you away in the night.
- Oh, that gives me the creeps.
- And why did you think
he wanted to
do that?
- He's probably a pervert
or something?
[crowd laughs]
- Had you ever heard that
Blackfoot Jack's real name
is was John Newell?
- Oy, no.
but that couldn't make sense.
Remember you were saying
about him trying
to get in contact with
his dead daughter?
What was her name?
Maribel?
I think that's why he's
off to the weak girl.
He thinks she's his daughter.
- Well...
We are still waiting
to make contact with a neighbor
who actually saw the ghost
in the 1980s.
But in the meantime,
check these guys out.
I think the neighborhood's
safe tonight
Isn't that right, guys?
- It's Morphin Time!
- [crown laughs]
- Well, we said at the start,
this was not
for the faint of heart.
But,
with some of the language
and the medical emergency.
We are after the watershed,
but we
just thought we would apologize
in case
anyone thought they'd
switch
on a
Martin Scorsese film by
accident. [Footsteps]
[footsteps]
How are youse?
- Okay. Tired.
Just gonna take the kids
to a safe place tonight.
- Mommy, try daddy again.
- Where's bunny?
- We'll get her tomorrow. Pet
He's not answering Stephen.
- Is she gonna be scared
on her own?
- We've got to do a break.
- What?
I was just giving him a
piece to camera though.
- Yes. Look.
I'm really sorry.
But we are pulling the plug.
Thanks for your tremendous,
tremendous work.
Yes, thanks.
- Excuse me?
- We're pulling the plug.
- Can we start dismantling
please?
-What?
- There've been too
many complaints.
- But
- Tell them breaks over!
Jesus Christ.
I've never known a crew
to drink so much tea.
- Complaints from who?
- Why was I not consulted
about this?
- I consulted God.
- Michelle, we're getting
really clear
footprints on camera,
the carpet and the spare room.
- Hear that?
We have to go upstairs.
This isn't over.
- We're on damage limitation.
- What about the family?
They deserve answers.
- [laughs] Answers.
-Michelle is absolutely right.
There is a family
at the center of all this.
They need our help.
- We are going to a heartbeat,
repeat after the headlines.
[Gnarls] You'll have 3 minutes
to poke around.
-Excuse me.
David, I am
the executive producer
of this program.
- Executive producer, Gerry.
That's the only way they
can get rid
of you.
I didn't want you,
and I didn't want you.
You know who I wanted?
Eamonn Holmes, and
Tina Campbell.
Serious broadcasters.
Still, I got a dinosaur
and a bimbo.
- Excuse me? -Time to end.
I am 54.
- 2 minutes, then we are out
- 3... 2... 1...
- Welcome back to Haunted
Ulster live.
and we are so glad you
were brave enough
to stick with us live from
our haunted house.
Are you enjoying yourself,
Michelle?
- I am having the time
of my life, Gerry.
- Great stuff.
Well, the seance has revealed
the presence
of Blackfoot Jack,
and the ghost hunters
have discovered
strange footprints
in the spare room.
- Do we have a time for a wee
cup of tea before
we head up there?
- Oh, I'm sure we do,
but
we'll get going anyway.
- Okay [laughs]
- [whispers] Come on, let's go.

[Radio static]- Michelle,
can you hear me?
- Yes, Kyle?
- Could you check around
upstairs for Robert
while you're up there?
- We need to get a dash
reading from him?
- Okay
- Where is he?
- Haven't got him on
camera anywhere.
Maybe left with Sinead.
He was wearing a body cam,
but we're not getting a signal.
[Footsteps]
- Robert?
[wood creaking]
Robert.
[faint footsteps]
[footsteps]
[Wood creaking]
- Oh. Geeze
Don't take that to me.
- Ready?
- Yeah
[door opening]
[faint footsteps]
[footsteps]
- She needs her bag.
Robert came up here to get it.
- Oh
Look
[laughs]
1-1-0-1-9.
- Of course
- Oh. That is spooky
- Come on, Jack.
I'm dyslexic, and I could
do a better job.
And are these supposed
to be the footprints?
- Looks like someone
spilled their tea.
[door slammed shut]
- Oh my God
[gulps]
[shocked]
- Kyle?
Can you see this in the monitor?
- I can see them.
Darryl's checking the recording.
to see if they were there
a few minutes ago.
- Michelle?
There's something in here.
[breathing heavily]
Let's get out of here.
- We should go up to Declan.
-No, no, let's not do that.
[panting]
- Don't leave me!
- Oh my God
- Oh, Jesus
[running sound]
[running]
[footsteps]
- Where are you going?
- [whisper shouts] Michelle
[very faint footsteps]
- Come on - No
[slow footsteps]
[footsteps]
[slow footsteps]
[wood creaking]
- Michelle
- We have to go up to Declan.
- I am not going to go up there.
- What is that noise?
Kyle
Can you hear that?
- Michelle, please.

[TV static click]
[faint beeping sound]
[beeping sound]
- Do you know what
he gets up
to when
he leaves the house?
- Castle Gardens please man.
- Do you know where he's been
when he comes home at all hours?
What does he tell you?
Just watching the football
with the lads?
having a pint down the local?
[car door opens]
Do you have a killer
in your home?
[gun shots]
[man running]
- Don't suffer it.
Change it.
[music fades]
[Commercial Music]
- I don't believe the
time gate thing.
It's ridiculous.
But if John Newell's stuck
in a time gate,
he needs a psychic child
to release him.
What website did you
read that on?
- Robert's website.
-Fools us see?
- That could be why John Newell
wants to bring her to the attic.
She can release him.
[TV static]
- The man was found in
Montgomery street,
in Belfast City Center.
The scene is still
cordon off.
Now,
it's not often
we feature a program
we're interrupting.
But the one you may have
been tuned into
has caused quite a storm.
Haunted Ulster Live,
is a live broadcast
from a reputedly
haunted house
in Belfast.
But even before it aired,
politicians and religious
leaders
have criticized the program
for being in poor taste.
Some have even said that it
promotes occult practices.
Louise Nelson, reports.
- Parents and religious leaders,
are up in arms about
the program airing
on TVNI tonight.
- Our worry as parent-teacher
group,
is that this program,
is gonna push our children
into devil worshipping,
or Dungeons and Dragons, or
that sort of thing.
We've had far too much trouble
in this country.
- The program hasn't
aired yet though.
- What?
- It hasn't been on yet.
How do you know what's in it?
- There's far too
much sex
on TV.
- Kyle.
- Michelle?
- Kyle
Kyle. I can't hear you.
- They're getting everyone
out of the house.
- We saw something on
the attic stairs.
[beeping]
- Michelle, Rose went
into the attic.
- Wait, but she's in the attic?
Thanks for leaving me, Gerry.
- We have to get everybody
out of this house
right now
- Outside, everyone.
- Yes, yes, that's right.
Get everyone out.
-Turn back for 2 seconds.
- She's up in the attic. - What?
We have to get the police.
There is something
that's up there.
- No, no, no. They're
on their way
We need to give them time
to investigate the whole house.
We need to get the
volunteers
to get
everyone out the front
while the police conduct
interviews.
- What is going on?
- Sinead's dead.
She had a massive heart attack.
The ambulance is still outside.
Look, we need to
get everyone out
right now.
- Kyle, is Rose still
in the attic?
[radio static]
- I cant see her because
the camera
doesn't cover the whole room,
but she went in there.
- Is Declan picking up?
[radio static] - No.
- We're going up together.
- No you cannot go up there
- Declan. Aren't we
going to Declan?
-There's something up there.
- Declan - My daughter's
up there.
- No, it doesn't matter.
The show's over.
- This is my house!
- See if more than double the
last episode of heartbeat.
- What?
-Viewers. Thousands
more, but the
minute they want us to continue
the broadcast.
- Jesus Christ
- What about the police?
- I'll deal with them.
Michelle.
Does anybody know if the ghost
witness is still outside?
- Yes. He's up the
side of the house.
- Okay. Michelle,
[sighs] can you go
and talk
to him,
please?
- I'm going up to get her.
- Okay, come on.
- No, no no.
- Someone get Rose down.
- No, we need the police.
Or bring the army in.
- Kyle, or Ryan,
or whatever his name is.
Get him on the radio.
- And I saw a beast,
rising from
the sea.
With 10 horns and seven heads.
And on the horns were 10 diadems
a blasphemous names
on its heads.
- Did you gather all
the crew out front?
Get witchy, or whatever
- My daughter
for God's sake.
This is still my house.
[Loud rumbling]
[wood rattling]
- I'll go.
- No, no, no. You need
to take a seat, Gerry.
Look at the states of you.
- I'm the excutive producer.
I am the excutive producer.
I am Gerry Burns.
And I was broadcasting
into the homes
of the good people at
this wee country,
while you were still shitting
in English nobbies.
I'll bring them down
stairs. It's
my job.
It's my job.
And you're coming with me.
- Gerry! Gerry!
Did you get my note?
[Gasps]
She came
- I wrote you another
song. Did you
get it?
- Get away from it, come on.
- Just remind her she's to
stay 100 meters
from me.
Alright?
Okay. [breathes heavily]
Let's go.
[Footsteps]
[wood creaking]
[footsteps]
[footsteps]
- Devil worshippers.
This is against God's work.
I am the way,
the truth for the life.
No one shall come to the father,
except through me.
There stands a whore of satan.
The anti-christ is here.
-Where you came from.?
I have finally
being joined by Brandon.
- Good evening.
- Now, you are a neighbor
and you knew
the previous owners
of this house?
- That's right. I was friends
with the Griffins.
I would've had a wee half pint
with Paul after work.
About 1983 or so,
Me and he
were coming just up
the road there.
And his wife
was shivering on the
front garden.
I'll never forget it.
She was in her pajamas.
She had her whole
brood around her,
and she wouldn't go
back in the house.
She was that frightened.
- Really?
-My wife actually took her in
and gave her a wee
nibble whiskey
just to calm her down.
- And why was she so upset?
-She said there was
something moving
about the house in the night.
And she dragged the
kids out
of bed,
and straight out of the house.
- And what did you do?
- Well me and Paul
thought she must
have caught a burglar.
So we goes on in.
As soon as we got to
the front door,
we saw something
with its back to us.
- A ghost?
- Now, that's not a word
I would ever use,
but God's honest truth,
we both saw it.
Now,
I still thought
someone must have broken in.
So I shout,
what the bleep are you doing?
- And then what happened?
- I turned around.
We both saw it
And it was there,
but it wasn't there.
With light coming out of it.
And it's saying
something over and over,
coming towards us.
- The ghost of John Newell.
- Now I, you mentioned
him earlier?
But no. This was a younger man.
- A younger man?
- Yes, you see John Newell
died an old man.
I'm into my local
history, you see.
There was a John Newell
lived there
in about the 1910s,
but he didn't have a daughter.
And lived to the right
old age
of 85,
which is a good.
island ins and them days.
I don't know where the daughter
story came from,
but there is no record of it.
So I think someone's
been caughting you
along with that. You know.
- One story we've heard
is that he's calling
out for his daughter. Maribel?
-Well, that's close,
but I'll never forget.
what this creature was saying.
It was Michelle, Michelle
- Michelle?
- [laughs] Like that?
[Gasps deeply]
Kyle
Kyle, just with a neighbor here.
-Alright, now
there is a photo taken
of the same character
in the house
in the 1950s.
Would you believe?
You can keep that.
- Thank you, Brandon.
[paper rustling]
- Michelle, Michelle
Are you excited about
presenting great evil?
[smiles]
[paper rustling]
- Is that
Robert?
- Are you okay, Gerry?
Why have we stopped? [thuds]
[panting]
Do you wanna keep going?
- As a child, I was always
afraid of the dark.
[sniffs]
Because I knew
that's where the bad
things happened.
[inhales deeply]
[exhales]
[tap]
[Gasps]
Turn that off for a
second, would you?
- Okay, okay.
Hey do you want to go on?
Are we going
to go?
No?
Okay, let's just call it.
Let's go home, okay?
Let's forget about it.
[child screams]
- Rose?
[child continues screaming]
- Rose, I'm coming. [TV Static]
[Rock music playing]
- Michelle?
Michelle?
Just wondering where you were?
Gerry's on his way off
the room in Declan.
Declan's still not answering
his radio.
There's a lot of interference
with that attic monitor.
- Still no sign of Robert?
[Siren sound]
Something Rose said earlier
during the seance,
"Walking in darkness"
Robert said the same
thing in
his VT.
Look
[distorted voice]
- I lived a normal life
for a long time.
Walking in darkness,
I call it.
[Distorted TV static]
Walking in darkness, I call it
- Did you catched that?
- Had wanting from the table.
She may head to the police?
I won't be long
- Yeah, yeah
- Why'd they locked the door?
- [Loud knocking] Rose!
Hello
Can you hear me?
[continues knocking]
Rose!
[continues knocking]
Declan!
[TV distorted static]
[continues knocking]
Declan!
[TV distorted static]
Rose!
- Still no contact from Declan?
- No
It's so weird.
He seems to be completely
oblivious to everything
that's going all around him.
[music plays] I mean
he's been like that
all night.
[rock music playing]
- Michelle!
We're asking everyone to
gather at the corner
of the street while the police
search the house.
-Dave
- I didn't mean what I?
I'm sorry, Michelle
I really am
- Has anyone actually
met Declan before?
[music plays]
- Declan!
Is Rose in there with you?
Come on, let's go.
[banging door]
[continues knocking] - Michelle
- Hello?
- Michelle.
- Robert. Thank God.
Where are you?
- I'm
in
the
attic. [ghoulish voice]
[radio distorted static]
[music continues playing]
[TV Static]
- I'm...
I'm
in
[Panting]
- Is that Robert?
[fast breathing]
Rose?
[panting]
Robert, can you see her?
Can you see Rose?
[panting]
[soft beep]
- Robert, what are
you doing
to her?
[Clicking sound]
- Rose, what do you remember
about Haunted Ulster Live?
Has your mom been back here?
- Mommy won't come.
- What if we find him there?
- Nobody knows yet.
They're still digging.
- I know you just
want to recreate
this night for laughs.
But this actually
happened
to me.
I can still hear him calling,
[wind rustling]
Walking in darkness.
[Dramatic music]
- Rose Mckillen is sticking
with her story.
- Rose!
- And you know what?
- Rose!
- I actually believe her.
-Can you hear me?
- I can't believe it's 25 years
to the day since the
original broadcast.
And Robert Pratt's body
was never recovered. [chuckles]
Still gives me the creeps.
[Clicks]
- Don't forget to send send in
your own spooky stories.
When we're on Twitter,
#HauntedUlsterLive
[TV static]
- 25 years?
- That's impossible.
- Rose! Can you hear me?
- I've never met
him before, Kyle
- Rose!
- We've been picking
up a transmission.
From the future?
That's. That's just
[Loud door banging] - We
just knock
it down.
[Exhales heavily]
-Declan Lindsay
can you hear me?
[Thuds]
- Gerry,
If don't make it out of here.
-At least some local
birthday feast.
[panting smile]
[bangs door]
- I've
met
you,
Michelle.
Blackfoot Jack [ghoulish voice]
put the bunny in the
[door opens]
- Declan?
Rose?
[Footsteps]
- Oh sweetheart. Are you okay?
Let's go. We got to go.
[eerie wind sound]
What's that?
[ghoulish distorted voice]
- Dropped it.
-Gerry?
Rose can release him.
-Put the bunny in the sack.
- Rose, give him the bunny.
Gerry, she can release him.
-Blackfoot Jack [distorted

I'm Blackfoot Jack.

- I've always been fascinated
by ley lines,
ancient channels
beneath our feet
that hold huge amounts
of psychic energy
enough to open a gateway
to other worlds
where space and time
exist outside of the accepted
law of physics.
There's so much modern Science
doesn't understand.
Could there be a scientific
explanation
for the supernatural?
[Static sound]
- Could you end up trapped
like a ghost
lost in time?

This is James Gillespie

[music]
- Well, not for the
faint of heart,
we now have a very special
live broadcast
for Halloween.
Spooky goings on a Belfast home.
This is Haunted Ulster Live,
with Gerry Burns,
and Michelle Kelly.
Viewer discretion is advised.
- Good evening, [eerie music]
ghosts and ghouls.
[eerie music]
Are you ready
for the ultimate terror?
[eerie music]
Live
from a haunted house.
we have a show
so terrifying,[eerie music]
that even Freddie Krueger
and Michael Myers
would ask their mommies
to leave the lights on.
[eerie music]
Are you
afraid of the dark?
[suspenseful music]

both in TV land,
and live
on FM radio. [background music]
[radio static]
Ice
FM.
I'm gonna be spending
the entire evening
in this spooky attic.
And it is actually really
quite creepy.
That's not a joke.
I mean,
just look at it.
But yeah, we are raising money
for Victim Support NI.
So if you think I'm daft,
putting myself through this,
well then, ways to donate
will be on your screen now.
[screeching sound]
I keep thinking that someone is
hanging around behind me.
So please,
don't leave me up
here on my own!
- Well, it couldn't happen
to a nicer fella.
Good evening, folks!
Haunted Ulster Live
is a TV show
like no other.
What we are doing here tonight
is something
quite extraordinary,
and you are not going to
want to avert
your eyes
for even a second.
Whilst the resident DJ,
sits fearfully up in the attic,
playing music of a
questionable taste.
Myself, and my co-host Michelle,
will show you around the house
like no other.
Here,
at Castle Gardens,
in the north of the city.
Now, I really
have to emphasize
seriously.
If you are letting your
children stay
out late
to watch this,
don't hold us responsible.
This
is not for the faint-hearted.
I'll introduce you to
the McKillen Family
indoors in a moment or two.
But first,
have a look at this...
[eerie rustling sound]
[eerie rustling sound]
[eerie rustling sound]
[door slammed shut]
[woman screaming]
That was a reconstruction
of events
that took place
in this very house.
But this photograph
is very real.
It was taken fourteen years ago,
and it is considered to be
one of the most compelling
photographs
of a ghost,
in modern times.
And that was taken
[inhales] right through
this door.
[inhales] Now this photograph
has been studied
by experts
all over the world,
and none of them
has been able to come up with a
convincing,
rational explanation.
[Inhales] So what do you think?
Could it be a ghost,
or a hoax,
or a trick of the light?
Are you afraid
of the supernatural?
Or do you think
it's just a load of
old poppycock?
[inhale] Now, in moment or two,
we will meet
the McKillen Family.
Who might just change your mind,
[inhales deeply] but
I'm not in this by myself.
Here,
holding my hand,
because
I'm a big scaredy cat
of truth be told,
is the lovely
Michelle Kelly.
[Inhales] Michelle,
do you believe in
the supernatural?
[dramatic scary music]
-Ghost Tent
[man screaming]
- Thanks, Gerry.
Do you know what?
I do believe.
My granny use to tell me stories
about the banshee
when I was
a wee,
and it still terrifies me
thinking about it.
[deeply inhales]
Now, here we are
with all of our state
of the art equipment
in the ghost hunt.
Original, isn't it?
We're hoping to catch a ghost
live on video
tonight.
And there are no better
lads for the job,
than our very own
Ulster Ghost Busters
The Northern Ireland Paranormal
Research Association.
[Smirks] That doesn't exactly
roll off the tongue.
I'm just gonna call you
Ghost Busters. [laughs]
They've set up
all sorts of impressive
cameras,
microphones and sensors
around the house,
to monitor any supernatural
activity.
Kyle,
you're the man in charge
of all these.
What equipment are you using,
and what can we expect to see?
[Smiles]
- Hi, Michelle.
Well, basically, we
use a mix of
standard and specialized
equipment,
to capture audio and video
for our research.
We have electromagnetic
field meters,
and temperature gauges
set up in the kitchen
and attic.
Which should give us a reading
on any poltergeist activity.
We have
obviously cameras,
cameras all over the
house. [laughs]
but, in the kitchen
and attic we're using BVS,
and everywhere else.
- BVS?
- Beyond Visible Spectrum.
[chuckles] It works
off black
light on
an infrared frequency.
So if you
look t the kitchen monitor,
you can see it gives
us a good quality,
a broadcast quality image
in a pitch black room.
[smiles]
So, we also have
body cams
for anyone that wants them.
And microphones.
- Well, I understood
about two of those words,
but you certainly seem to know
what you're talking about.
- Well, the NPRIA,
N-I-P-R-A,
are paranormal investigators,
but believe it or not,
I call myself a skeptic.
So anything we find,
we will
test
rigorously,
before calling it
supernatural.
- Thanks, Kyle.
Well, enough of all
the techy stuff.
What exactly
are we investigating?
Gerry's with the McKillen
Family, - Okay. Standby
- to find out. - Let's
go in 3,
2, 1
[rustling sound]
- Don't get up,
I will come down to you.
Now, this is
the lady of the manor,
Sarah,
and
- Stephen - and - Rose
- Very good.
Thank you
for letting us into
your lovely home,
and I hope these agents
aren't traipsing dirt
all over your carpet.
Now,
Sarah, tell us a bit about
what's been going on.
- Well,
we've lived here
nearly five years.
Around last November,
I noticed foot prints
in the kitchen.
Black,
barefoot prints,
that would appear and disappear.
- Barefoot prints?
Like, a big grizzle?
- Bare feet,
like a man's feet.
Then at night,
there were weird noises, too.
I thought it was one
of these two.
Then it happened
when I was in the house alone.
- And what were the noises?
- Scratching,
or scraping on the walls.
or in them.
-Dear God,
and
footprints on the floor?
- Very faint, [inhales deeply]
as if
someone was
walking through the kitchen.
Before you could scrub them off,
it disappear on their own.
Now, Sarah, you're a
single mother, aren't you?
- I'm a Nurse.
- A nurse,
and you don't feel that you're
overworked or on any medication?
- No,
not at all. [smiles]
- And how do you know
it wasn't one of these two
messing about?
Now, Stephen,
did you hear all this, too?
- Stephen had to come in
to me a couple
of times,
he was that scared.
- No. I wasn't. [Ladies laugh]
- Now, Stephen,
you told one of our team
something your teacher said.
- I could've throttled them.
- Blackfoot jack.
- Blackfoot Jack?
Now, what is that?
Is that a local ghost story,
or an urban myth?
- People say,
if there were black foot
prints beside
your bed,
it means, he'd been there.
- And have black footprints
appeared
beside your bed?
- No, the footprints
have started going
up the stairs.
There's something weird
about the attic.
- Well, I hope DJ Declan
is hearing all these.
[music playing]
[funky music playing
Is he going to the
toilet up there?
Do we know?
I probably
shouldn't ask questions like
that. - I only go
up to attic
to bring rose back down.
- And why does she go
up to the attic?
- She sleepwalks sometimes.
- Now, Rose, you've
been very quiet.
How are you?
- I'm okay.
- Rose is fine
and you have your
wee bunny there.
So, Rose,
how often do you sleepwalk
up to the attic?
- A couple of times.
Can't remember.
- I just bring her back to bed.
- Oh, that's good
because you're not supposed
to wake up people
who are sleepwalking.
It leads to mental shock
and all sorts
of things.
And
she just walks up there?
- She talks
sometimes.
Like she's having bad dreams,
don't you?
- Yeah
- Since she was young, [sighs]
I felt like
Rose could
sense things.
I don't know.
- And can you remember
these dreams?
- Yes
- Can you tell us?
- In the dreams,
there's a man.
He drags me up the stairs,
to hurt me.
[eerie silence]
- What do you do all
day to relax?
- [Exhale]
- My goodness.
So very, very serious stuff.
Are youse okay?
Really?
And do we think it's the ghost
bringing you upstairs
to the attic?
Blackfoot Jack, the Ghost
with the smelly feet?
Well, maybe we'll
find out because
I don't like the thought of
youse all living
in fear.
We want youse all to
be safe and well
because your well-being is
what's most important.
Isn't that right?
- A hundred percent
- And what would you like to
get out of tonight, Sarah?
- Well,
if there is a ghost,
I'd like to know who they are,
and how we can get
them to leave.
- Well, hopefully
we'll be
able to
get you some answers
because all this activity,
the photograph we showed you,
and Blackfoot Jack, and
everything else,
it all points to this house
having some sort of history.
And,
maybe
we will solve the mystery.
[wind blows]
[metal dropping sound ] Oh God.
[wood scratching sound]
[footsteps]
[rustling sound]
- How long is she there?
- Who was in here?
[light switched]
-That's never happened before.
- Michelle?
Michelle, did we get
that on camera?
- Were just checking
that now, Gerry.
Unfortunately, our Beyond
Visible Spectrum camera
was a bit too beyond visible
in that part of
the kitchen.
but we heard it.
- [sighs]
- Who did that?
look what's all scratched
into the wall here.
What does that mean?
[metal clanks]
- Daryl is going to examine
that in a wee minute.
We have a definite
[metal clanks]
dip in the temperature
by a few degrees there.
[metal clanks]
[TV static sound]
1-1-0-1.
The image we have is very dark.
- I don't think it's a ghost
who scratched my name
into the wall.
-[metal clanking]
[creepy music plays]
- Ghost tent
- Kyle is going to
recalibrate the camera.
That is weird.
Does "1101"
mean anything to you, Kyle?
- I don't know.
Binary, Maybe?
- Maybe?
That is spooky.
No.
[Gasps]
Our paranormal investigators
are experts
with all this techy stuff,
but actually contacting ghosts
is a whole different kettle
of fish altogether.
We have two people on their way
who can help us do just that.
And we're going to meet them
after this short break.
Do not go away.
- and we're off.
- Someone's shut
that off please.
-Youse are gonna give
me a heart attack.
Who did it?
Do you have someone in there?
- Thirteen!
One, one, zero, one
in binary
is 13.
-That's the number of
the house,
isn't it?
13 Castle Gardens.
- Michelle,
can you take that shawl off?
[suspense music]
- What?
- The shawl or whatever it is.
- It's freezing
Look.
[Exhales]
- Well, Take it off when
we're going again.
It's too dark.
- Is Gerry miked up in
the the front room?
- Back in 20 seconds.
- Did we change the
intro to
the VT?
[beeping sound]
- Someone showed me
a new page earlier,
but I didn't have
time to read it.
- Can you read the teleprompter?
- Yes,
I just prefer
to memorize it.
- Maybe she can't read.
-[Zips] [laughs]
- I don't trust those kids.
I'm serious.
The kids are always behind it.
- How? - They don't look
a pair of wee shits.
[inhales deeply]
-[Exhales]
- You okay?
- I'm having a stroke.
[sighs]
No, no, it's heartburn.
[exhales]
No. I am not going
up those stairs.
Remember that, Dave?
- You've made that clear
already, Gerry.
- We're back in three,
two, one...
[Metal cranking]
[Suspenseful music]
- Welcome back to Haunted
Ulster Live.
If you're just joining us,
we've already had some
supernatural goings on
and we have two people - Okay
- Go V- About to arrive
who can help us
actually contact the ghosts.
Sinad Love and Robert Pratt.
- I've always been fascinated
by ley lines.
Ancient channels
beneath our feet
that hold huge amounts
of psychic energy.
Enough to open a gateway
to other worlds where
space and time exist outside of
the accepted laws of Physics.
There's so much modern science
doesn't understand.
Could there be a scientific
explanation for the
supernatural?
Is it possible to journey
between worlds?
Could you end up trapped like
a ghost lost
in time?
I've been detecting ley lines
for over 10 years.
I'm simply relearning
ancient forgotten
druid knowledge.
I lived a normal life
for a long time.
"Walking in darkness",
I call it.
Others would call it "Married
with children".
But all my life, I've sensed
and seen things
that make me question what
normal really is.
- People think of graveyards
as scary places,
but to me,
they're a place of rest.
When I walk through a graveyard,
I think:
"Well done you,
you've done your bit,
time for a lie down."
It's in unexpected places
that I sense restless spirits.
We all know tha clich
of haunted cottages
and old mansions.
But spirits
are all around us.
I hear their voices
crying out
to me,
trapped in our world,
yearning to find peace
in the spirit world.
-[Chanting]
- It can be for a simple reason.
Maybe Aunt Jemima wants
to say she loves you.
Sometime it's more practical.
Maybe Uncle Tom wants
to remind you
that he has left a winning
docket in the
biscuit tin.
- Hello. - Hi.
- This was my late wife's.
I use it every night.
And I hear her voice.
- Sometimes objects
can attach themselves
to the spirit of their
loved ones.
How did she die?
- Lung cancer.
- I know what it's
like to suffer
an irreparable loss.
So I've given my life
to guiding spirits to
the place of light,
where they can find peace.
To be able to do that?
Well,
it's a beautiful thing.
My name is Sinad Love
and I talk to ghosts.
-[Woman screaming]
[music fades]
- Thanks my darling.
-That's alright.
-[exhales]
-So, this is the place?
-Yes.
What do you think?
[breathes heavily]
-Are you alright?
- woooh
[exhales]
- Oh, yes.
No, I feel that too.
-Can you feel it?
-Yes.
-It's like something doesn't
want me here.
I mean, I'm fine here, but...
when I go to the garden.
He's not happy.
-He?
-He
-So it's a man, then?
-Definitely a man, definitely.
and a very, very sad man.
-You're not far off
the mark there.
-You know, don't you?
[sighs]
Well, we're not gonna be much
use out here, Robert.
-Well, can you make it?
-I'm going to have to.
-Come on, I'll give you a hand.
-But I'm telling you something,
this man does not want me here.
He's actually barking
at me right now.
-Come on, Let's go.
-Sinad and Robert.
-Gerry, hello. [kisses]
Good to see you.
Thank you for coming.
Come on Inside
-Good to see you Gerry.
-Mind your wee step there.
-Oh, Yeah.
-So, we are just going
through here.
-Okay.
-Just here.
-Alright, You must be
very busy people
at this time of year.
-Yeah
Sinad, if you could just sit
down on the
sofa there
and, Robert, if you just sit
down beside Sinad there
Are you okay?
-Yes, I'm fine. -Are you sure?
you seemed to sense
something outside.
-Now you see, even coming
into a place
like this.
it can have a profound effect
on someone like Sinad.
-Yes, I can see that.
so, what do you think of
our wee operation here?
-Well it's very impressive,
Gerry.
-It's like you're shooting
a Hollywood movie.
I'm half expecting Liam Neeson
to walk in through
that door.
-[laughter]
-And, Sinad, this is your
first time in
the house?
-It is. And as a medium,
I'm a vessel,
an open channel for the
spirits to come through
and commune with
their loved ones
where there might be some
unfinished business.
And 99% of the time, you know,
that would come from
a place of love.
-But tonight the spirit isn't
coming from a place of love?
-No. That out there,
that was different.
And what I'm
mostly sensing in here is
anger and loss.
And the man that's
speaking
to me,
and I am certain it's a man,
is very sad
and very, very angry.
-Now hold on
he's already speaking to you?
-As I told you,
this is how quickly she goes.
-What's he saying?
[sighs] -At the moment.
it's, you know...
Sorry, it could just
be a bit too soon.
-What?
-It's one word.
Miranda?
- Mirabel?
-Mirabel?
That's it, Mirabel.
-So already you are
sensing the ghost
of an angry man outside.
Well, that's extraordinary.
I mean, I thought we'd need
to light all these candles.
-Well, there'll be time
for that too, Gerry.
-Right, Before you arrived,
we had some poltergeist activity
in the kitchen.
-That doesn't surprise me.
-And we found
my own name
carved into the wall.
Very poorly carved, I might add.
So Robert,
you might put us out
of our misery.
I hear you are something of a
World Wide Web wiz,
and I gather
you've already been doing
some digging on the house.
-Well,
digging being the operative
word, Gerry.
Believe it or not,
many thousands of years ago,
there was a standing stone
on the site of this house.
Now, It was probably used
to worship some Pagan
God or other.
but the house itself
is much younger.
It was built at the
turn of the century
by a man named John Newell.
Now, Mr Newell's daughter
died tragically
at the age of 13 in 1912,
and he became obsessed
with the occult
in trying to contact her
in the afterlife.
It drove him to madness.
And according to local legend,
he hanged himself in the attic.
-That's very dark.
Does that chime
with what you're experiencing,
Sinad?
-Yeah, very much so,
that's all feeling
very real
to me.
What I'm trying to work out
is where the name Mirabel
fits into it.
-Well, we know from
the 1911 census
that his daughter's name,
was Mirabel.
-[sighs] There you go.
-Well, I mean,
you can just pick that up
from standing outside
in the garden?
I mean, that is extraordinary.
I mean, it really is.
So does that mean
that this
is a photograph of
our John Newell?
-Oh. Wow,
would you look at that?
-It could very well be.
There have been countless
reports of ghost
sightings in this house
throughout the years.
-Well, I hope they've
changed the carpets.
Now, Blackfoot Jack
is a local ghost story
in these parts.
So,
do we have a double
haunting here?
Is that even a thing?
-It's very possible.
are a very common spectral
phenomenon.
Now Blackfoot Jack, that legend
is very interesting.
It goes back centuries.
In fact, the name
of this street,
Castle Gardens,
could come from the Gaelic
'cos sileadh'
which means 'foot dripping
with blood'.
-That is fascinating.
Now, Sinad, have you
ever dealt with a ghost
like this before?
I mean,
what has he got against
the pots and pans?
-[Laughs]
-Well, he's not trying
to boil an egg, Gerry.
A poltergeist
is normally the sign of
a restless spirit.
And normally they
focus themselves
on a particularly psychic person
which is often a child.
My guess is that
John is trapped in our world,
and he needs me
to guide him to the spirit world
where he can find peace.
-So we need a seance?
-That could be risky.
I mean,
even sitting in this house
you can feel the power.
-Absolutely.
-Look at that,
that light's flickering.
-Yes, it is a wee bit.
-Yeah.
-No. No. No.
I think the best course of
action in the first instance,
is to try and encourage
the spirit
to communicate
with Sinad through other means.
-Yes. Well,
if we could get him
to open up
to me.
I could guide John
to the spirit world
to be with his daughter
tonight.
-So, a family reunion.
-Yeah.
- That would be lovely.
That would
be lovely.
So Michelle,
I don't know whether you
could hear
all that,
but it is truly fascinating
stuff.
But could you tell us,
can the neighbours
shed any light in all this?
-Very, very intriguing, Gerry.
Well, It looks like our presence
is attracting
the living
as well as the dead.
We have quite the crowd
gathering right here.
Happy Halloween, everyone!
-[crowd cheering]
This is like a party.
And it looks like we've got some
Declan fans here.
[women cheering]
-We love Declan!
-I can't believe he's been
up there that long.
-I would be wetting myself.
-Do you believe in ghosts?
-Is he gonna come down soon?
-I do!
-Can we please go
up and see him?
-Well, have you heard
any stories
about the house being haunted?
-When's Declan gonna come out?
[laughters
-They're really worried
about him,
that's so sweet!
-Michelle, are you gonna
be on Blue Peter?
-Well,
I think we have some
actual residents
up here.
Hello, do you live
in this street?
-Yes.
-And have either of you heard
any stories about the house?
-No.
-Or the legend of
Blackfoot Jack?
-That's a load of nonsense.
-Your woman has no shame
putting herself
on the television for
all the world
to see.
-I remember the kids in
school used
to sing
a song about Blackfoot Jack.
They said if you saw a black
footprint in
your house,
it meant he was gonna snatch you
from your bed while
you are sleeping.
-Can you remember how
the song went?
-Something like Blackfoot Jack,
Blackfoot Jack
-[humming]
I think I might recognise
that tune. [giggles]
-Why don't they go to the
bottom of the street
where the other fenians are?
-Lots of people's are coming out
to support us tonight.
Now, we actually
have a neighbour
who saw the ghost
in the 1980's.
We've got someone trying
to coax him out currently.
So we'll fingers-crossed
have that
for you,
after this short break.
-Cut. [clicking sound]
- Bigoted old.
-[mic thuds]
-Why am I the only one
in a fucking costume?
-You look great.
-'Michelle, Michelle,
is it true about Blue Peter?'
-Is it?
-Sure, why would they
hire someone
who can't read for Blue Peter?
[thuds] [footsteps]
-Well, you can see why
I don't talk to the
public anymore.
And,
you don't have to mention
your ex-husband if
you don't
want to.
-Why would I?
-What age are you, Rose?
-Ten.
-That's a beautiful age.
You look a lot like
his Mirabel.
-Hold on Sinad,
we're not back yet.
-Beautiful little girl.
He's here for you.
-He's standing there.
-Mummy? -Is he there?
-Back in three, two...
-Ask him what he wants.
-Sinad, what does he look like?
-Welcome back to Haunted
Ulster Live.
Now our medium Sinad,
has just seen something,
or someone?
-Look at the blood dripping
from his feet.
-Now that's enough, Sinad.
Maybe we should
get them out of here.
Michelle,
can you see
blood footprints on the floor?
-He's so angry.
-Kyle is just enhancing
the image now.
It looks a little cleaner.
-[High pitch sound
-The EFM is spiking.
[thuds]
-Are you John Newell?
-He's laughing.
-Well, he needs to
make his mind up.
-What do you want, John?
What do you want? [static sound]
-He's here for Rose!
-Right, let them out of here.
-[light bulb explodes]
-[gasps]
- Whoah. Jesus!
-Well, this would be
a good time to check in
with DJ Declan
in the attic.
Declan, are you still with us?
[radio static]
[ghostly sound]
[suspenseful music]
[ghostly sound]
[ghostly sound]
-[laughs]
[suspenseful music]
-I was gonna dress up
as Gerry Burns,
but I couldn't find a mask
scary enough.[chuckles]
[bell sound]
-You know, the longer
I spend up here,
the more I think it's grand.
We've been having
a lot of support
from the charity lines.
So we're now
up to 3000 pounds in donations,
so thank you,
thank you!
And in other news,
I've just finished
my sandwiches,
so I'm hoping there's a nice
pizza place nearby.
[paper thrown sound]
Please don't leave me
up here all alone.
I don't wanna be as dead
as Gerry Burns' career
[laughs]
-He's gone upstairs.
-No, You're not going anywhere
for a minute.
-Let me go.
[footsteps]
[wood creaking sound]
[footsteps]
-Is she alright?
-I've never seen her
affected like this before.
-Michelle, are we monitoring
the room
Sinad is going to?
What is this?
-It's a spare room.
Daryl's on his way,
if you and Robert
wanna head on up.
[rustling sound]
[footsteps
[footsteps]
[wood creaking sound]
[footsteps]
[footsteps]
[rustling sound]
-You alright?
Stay beside me and
you'll be fine.
-I'm not scared,
I'm looking after him.
[rustling sound]
[footsteps]
[wood creaking]
[silence]
[silence]
[silence]
-[Door opening]
-It's freezing.
-There's something very unusual.
-The amount of potpourri
in the room is unusual. [gasps]
-No. No. No, there's
something wrong.
-What?
-[Loud knock]
-You scared
the life out of me.
-Sorry,
there's a couple
of things
we can
put up in the room.
-What's that there?
-It's a temperature gauge.
-A temperature gauge?
-It can record any fluctuation
in temperature in the room.
[gasps]
-We call that a thermometer
in my house.
-I'm gonna try and
talk to Sinad
and see if she can hear me.
Sinad?
Is John Newell in the room?
[sighs]
-I don't know.
-Is someone else talking
through Sinad?
-Yes.
[exhales deeply]
-My name's Robert.
What's your name?
-Robert
[exhales deeply]
- John,
is that you?
or do you prefer ''Jack?'
[disturbing laugh]
[sinister laugh]
[inhales heavily]
[gnarly voice]
[sinister laugh]
- Jack
[inhales heavily]
Jack!
[breathes heavily]
[panting]
Where's Rose? [panting]
I should see if
[radio static sound] -Gerry?
- Stop you radio!
[radio static]
- Gerry, you need to
come down here.
- Michelle, did you see that?
- You need to come down here.
We got something on tape.
- Apparently they got
something
on tape.
- Audio recordings are
spectral phenomena
can pick up much more
I'd love to hear that.
- Alright
- She asleep?
Somebody should keep
an eye on her.
Michelle, is Rose with youse?
-She's okay.
She's down here with her mommy.
[clicking sound
[rustling sound]
[footsteps]
[door closes]
-So,
this John Newell,
did he drive himself mad,
trying to contact his
dead daughter?
- Possibly.
Ouija boards were a
very popular way
to try and contact the
dead back in
the day.
-Like using a seance?
-Well,
seances can be very dangerous.
They release huge amounts
of psychic energy
and we're on a ley line.
That's just a... -
Not lighting road
for psychic energy,
as you said that earlier.
- Exactly
Psychic energy can do all sorts.
[magnetic sound]
- Now you strike me as
a reasonable man.
What got you into all these
paranormal stuff?
I mean,
can you study it
at Belfast Tech?
because they are an O level?
[chuckles]
- Actually, I
trained as chartered surveyor.
The internet's a good
place to start.
It's where I did most
of my training,
you could say.
- [Gasps] The World Wide Web.
I thought that was just C Fox
with extra pages.
That's just me.
[Footsteps]
[Suspense music]
- Ghost Tent
- I got something
when Robert was asking
the questions.
[screeching sound]
[gasps excitedly]
- What is that? [laughs]
- it's from
when
Robert asked. [clicks]
-Can you hear me?
[eerie radio static]
- Could it just be
interference from the mic?
- Sounds like a voice.
[radio static]
- I'm going to keep
working
on it,
see if I can make it
more recognizable.
[eerie radio statics]
[distorted talking]
[radio statics] [distorted
woman's voice]
- It's French,
or
it sounds like it's foreign.
- Hold on, hold on.
One second. Look.
[distorted talking continues]
[Excited laugh] This is just...
I picked this up in the room
less than a minute ago. [clicks]
- I'm nearly there.
I'm nearly... I'm nearly there.
[distorted radio statics]
[very faint voice]
[Excited laughters]
-We heard that.
- It's unmistakable.
- That's exactly what I heard.
- I'm nearly there.
- It's coming from right
inside the room, too.
I've got it on three different
microphones.
Seeing waveforms.
- Should we go back up?
- I'm nearly there.
- Oh my God.
- Unmistakably, a man's voice!
-Hear you.
- Was that somebody else?
- I'll keep working on that
[typing]
- I'm nearly there.
- You're enjoying this
too much, Michelle.
- I'm here,
what's going on?
-There's so many.
- Oh my God.
[radio static]
-Driving 13
- Doing a Dur about,
there's a huge crowd outside.
- Oh. [thuds]
- What?
- Driving 13, doing a dur about
and there is a huge
crown outside.
- It's a taxi redo.
- You are joking me.
[Footsteps]
- But just paid for it.
- It's not for us,
it's for Declan.
Can we bring it up?
- You ordered a pizza
for Declan Lindsay?
[Giggles] -Yes.
-He said he was dying
of starvation.
- Will you tell him
it's from us?
[giggles]
- Who's going to pay for this?
- I suppose we are.
I'll send it up to him.
[Gasps] - We will be right back
after this short break.
How much do I owe you?
[crowd screams]
[people cheering]
[crowd clapping]
[crowd clapping]
[Tapping sound]
- The ghost ordered the
pizza? [door closed]
- They sent up.
- Declan's fans are hilarious.
- My stalker isn't not there?
Is she?
Oh dear God.
Even she's given up on me.
Do you know she wrote me
a whole album once.
- I told the producer.
Rose is too scarred for this.
The medium freaks her out.
- To be honest,
she freaks me out a wee bit too.
With the help of,
if I had
a word.
- We need to get Sinead
back down here.
That runs rubbish to film it.
We'll do the seance
in the front room
with Rose after the break.
That'll play far better.
- Robert, didn't think
we should do seance.
- Robert's not producing
the show.
[Exhales] - Sinead,
you gave us a fright there.
Are you alright?
- Yes
But,
I know
what you're really scared
of up there.
You've left this story before.
- What?
- In the attic?
Your poor dad.
- 60 seconds.
- Robert, they wanna
bring Rose in
for the seance.
- I don't think that's
a good idea.
- Well look, people
expect a seance,
candles, hypnosis,
that sort of thing.
Look, Sinead said she can
put her on a sleepwalking stage.
- She's scared.
[sighs] - Oh God. She'd
be in no danger.
Look, we're doing it.
End of.
- There's too much
psychic energy
beneath this house.
You have no idea!
It's like I'm being
Albion Colliery
- What?
- The air force 70 in wheels,
It follows the ley
line precisely.
[door opens] It's
a mine in wheels
with enough psychic energy
- Robert, I swear to God
If you say psychic energy
one more time
I am going to lose my mind.
- We are on the most
potent ley line
in all of County Antrim.
If Rose is a psychic, seance...
- Oh, for God's sake!
It's supposed to be
a haunted house.
We are doing a seance.
That's final. -D
With or without you.
- We have these people
on as experts.
We should listen to them.
- You, back outside.
- Don't speak to me like that.
- Michelle.
- Gerry, can you ask Robert
if Daryl can fit him with
a body cam in the kitchen?
- Shouldn't talk to
people like that.
[Footsteps]
- Your jacket.
- Oh, sorry.
-What's Albion?
-Albion Colliery.
You know, in 1974,
a man went missing near
an old mine
in Wales.
They found his body
a year later,
when they were building
the air road.
Along with messages he had
written in the walls.
He died in the mine's
collapse in 1894.
[Chuckles - Sorry.
No, sorry.
You do believe
that stuff. Sorry.
- That's fine. I'm used
to being laughed at.
- You shouldn't be.
- Ready to go live.
[Tapping sound]
[Tapping]
-Okay
- Only if,
What, do you come in too?
- Yeah
- Okay.
- 3...
2...
1...
- Welcome back.
Well.
Through Rose,
our medium, Sinead,
is gonna try to speak
directly to our ghost,
John Newell.
To see if we can
help him on his
way back to the spirit world.
Can't believe it's barely
half 9 already,
we have an
exorcism on our hands.
- I just learned to ignore it,
like you do. get your...
- Michelle, hire the team
monitoring already.
-Gerry, Yes.
We have very sensitive
microphones in
the room,
and we have an EFM
an Electronic Field Meter.
- Yeah, the EFM records changes
in the electromagnetic field.
- If anything strange
happens in that room,
we'll pick it up.
[glass breaks]
[laughing]
- Oop, dear. Somebody have
to clean that up.
Careful, you don't cut yourself.
- Fifteen...
Fourteen...
Thirteen...
- Rose.
You can no longer
feel your body.
You are as light as a feather.
[Taking off shoes]
- Twelve...
eleven...
You're looking down
on yourself now.
Ten...
9...
Can you feel the warmth?
The room isn't cold anymore.
8...
7...
There are lots of voices
around you, Rose
calling out to you.
But there's is one voice
in particular
6...
5...
4...
3...
Let John reach you.
- Can you hear me, John?
[TV static sound]
- John, can you hear me?
[hums]
- Is John Newell here?
- He says...
he says call him 'Jack'
- Jack, we can call you Jack.
What do you want, Jack?
Are you looking for
you daughter, Jack?
- Daughter...
Girl with the bunny?
- I can help you reach her Jack.
- [laughs]
- What's so funny, Rose?
- It's Jack.
- What's so funny, Jack?
- I'm gonna take her away.
- Who are you gonna take away?
- The little girl you're
talking to.
- Sorry, I'd really prefer
if we stop this side.
- Walking in darkness,
they call it?
- Jack
I can help you get to the light.
[whispers] -Darkness
Rose?
- So, Kyle
John Newell,
is Blackfoot Jack after all?
- See I don't know
if I believe that.
I mean, the Legend
of Blackfoot Jack,
dates back centuries, maybe?
Maybe more.
But John Newell died when?
1910s.
- Why do you think they
took off their shoes?
- I'm not sure.
Something to do with earthing
their bodies,
I think?
I'll have to ask
Robert that one.
- And have we picked up
anything unusual in
the microphone,
or the camera?
- No
- Get the camera on Rose.
- Your daughter, Maribel,
is waiting
for you.
I can guide you.
- That's what they call me.
Blackfoot Jack
- Close up.
- Blackfoot Jack.
Not so right, he's at your back.
- God
- I remember
we used to sing that song
when we were kids.
- Blackfoot Jack,
blackfoot Jack
beats the bunny in his sack.
- Why do they call you
'Blackfoot Jack'?
- Why does it want the bunny?
- I'm always here,
Looks like little old sheep.
I've waited a long time
for this little girl.
- That's enough.
- And doesn't she look
like your Lily?
What?!
What did you say?
- Doesn't she look like
you're lost, Lily?
- Stop us.
- Mommy
Mommy
- [cries] Lily
Oh, my darling.
[wheezing]
- Call an ambulance
She's having a seizure!
- She keeps an insulin
pen in her handbag
- She needs it right now.
- It's in the spine room
I'll go in there now.
-Robert watch the child.
- Stay awake
stay awake.
- You did this to me,
you stupid fucking bitch!
-Rose McKillen!
[Beeping sound]
[Suspenseful music]
- Ghost Tent
- We'll just leave them there
for a few moments.
Just so our viewers know,
the bang you heard
we don't think
was a security incident.
We're not exactly
sure what
it was,
but,
I'm sure
Sinead will be okay.
The ambulance is here,
and the paramedics are
working on
her now.
So
Kyle,
any readings
from the cameras or
the microphones
during the seance?
We were picking up
some audio spikes when
Rose was speaking.
- That's one word
for it [giggles]
-Could be the,
taxi radio again
- Since the problem
with radio is
flying about all around us.
Remember the time we
accidentally
picked up
that TV broadcast of Baywatch
on those old monitors?
- Yeah.
Accidentally...
- Right.
Well,
let's go up to the attic and see
how Declan is getting on.
Just before,
we go to a commercial break.
- I can't believe I
missed the seance.
Did her head start spinning?
You know what,
I actually think I'm
safer up here.
[Background music]
I have been asking listeners
for their favorite
Halloween jokes,
and I can now announce a winner.
So thank you Gary
from Tigers Bay.
Gary's joke was,
what does a skeleton order
at a restaurant?
Spare ribs
[laughs]
Spare ribs.
What? No.
It's a cracker
[laughs]

- Lay lines are not
just energy lines,
but are also pathways,

Proponents of this theory

-Giving in to the
plastic paganism
of Halloween,
inviting children to
meddle in the occult
and open their hearts
to the devil.
To promote these,
satanic rituals on
Ulster Television.
It's nothing short
of diabolic.
How many souls [footsteps]
of people...
- Did Rose know
that Sinead had a daughter
who died?
- Did you know Sinead
have such a serious condition?
[wood taps]
- This one hates you.
- Are you seriously trying to
blame this on a 10-year-old?
- The footage from
the graveyard.
Did your kids see the VT?
- Can you seriously just leave
us alone for
a minute,
please?
- You said back that
Jack wasn't real.
- He's not.
- I wanna go to dad's.
- You cant
- Look.
- We just wanna make sure
everyone's okay.
- Please, give us some
space in our
own home
- Right now, the kitchen
walls changed.
- What?
- There's an extra 9.

[Beeping sound]
- At Moira carpets, we've
got you covered.
-What happened?
I'll have to pull my shoe off.
-Oh Don't worry about that.
You know he's the executive
producer.
[TV noise background
Show must go on.
[police siren]
- Sinead will be alright
- Okay, ready?
- What did she mean earlier?
Said something about you'd
left this before.
- When I was 10,
I
found my father
in the attic and
he was...
She must have read it somewhere.
- Gerry, I'm so sorry.
- Oh no. Don't be
don't be.
None of this is your fault.
And
you are gonna have a big career.
Whatever happens.
Now, Blue Peter,
that's not just rumors.
Network TV
you're gonna be a
household name.
- I think I've glimpsed
my big career,
consists of 'Shut up, stand
there and smile'.
- Thirty seconds.
- Ah it can be whatever
you want it
to be.
After this, I'm finished.
- The great Gerry Burns?
No you are not.
- Michelle,
can you stand outside now?
- Next request is from Jeff
Gad from Andytown.
Where the beach boy's
doing monster mad. [door closes]
- 3... 2... 1... [Footsteps]
[crowd murmurs]
- Our Declan fans are
still here. [giggles]
Hello, witches. [giggles]
- Hi
- How do you think
he's getting on?
- Oh, I can't believe
he's still
up there.
- I would be shitting
myself [giggles]
- Is the woman alright?
- She'll be fine
- And the creepy wee girl?
- Rose?
- I'd keep an eye for her.
- Well,
we have lots of other
people here.
Hello!
Are you... do you live
in the street?
- All my life.
-Always knew there was
something funny about
this house.
-And,
had you ever heard
of Blackfoot Jack?
Or
John Newell?
- No
- Do you believe in
ghosts yourself?
- People's mind play
tricks on them.
But I'll tell you,
I would love it if
my late husband
come back for a wee
visit.[laughs]
[crowd laughs] - Aww
Well, make sure that you
get some biscuits and
tea over there.
We don't want you getting
too cold. Okay?
- Okay
- I grew up across the street.
- And what do you make
make of all this?
- I'm telling you now.
I definitely remember
hearing stories
about that house
when I was a wee.
- Really?
- Yeah, see,
the story goes,
see if you woke up
beside your bed,
and you saw footprints.
The very next night,
Blackfoot Jack would snatch
you away in the night.
- Oh, that gives me the creeps.
- And why did you think
he wanted to
do that?
- He's probably a pervert
or something?
[crowd laughs]
- Had you ever heard that
Blackfoot Jack's real name
is was John Newell?
- Oy, no.
but that couldn't make sense.
Remember you were saying
about him trying
to get in contact with
his dead daughter?
What was her name?
Maribel?
I think that's why he's
off to the weak girl.
He thinks she's his daughter.
- Well...
We are still waiting
to make contact with a neighbor
who actually saw the ghost
in the 1980s.
But in the meantime,
check these guys out.
I think the neighborhood's
safe tonight
Isn't that right, guys?
- It's Morphin Time!
- [crown laughs]
- Well, we said at the start,
this was not
for the faint of heart.
But,
with some of the language
and the medical emergency.
We are after the watershed,
but we
just thought we would apologize
in case
anyone thought they'd
switch
on a
Martin Scorsese film by
accident. [Footsteps]
[footsteps]
How are youse?
- Okay. Tired.
Just gonna take the kids
to a safe place tonight.
- Mommy, try daddy again.
- Where's bunny?
- We'll get her tomorrow. Pet
He's not answering Stephen.
- Is she gonna be scared
on her own?
- We've got to do a break.
- What?
I was just giving him a
piece to camera though.
- Yes. Look.
I'm really sorry.
But we are pulling the plug.
Thanks for your tremendous,
tremendous work.
Yes, thanks.
- Excuse me?
- We're pulling the plug.
- Can we start dismantling
please?
-What?
- There've been too
many complaints.
- But
- Tell them breaks over!
Jesus Christ.
I've never known a crew
to drink so much tea.
- Complaints from who?
- Why was I not consulted
about this?
- I consulted God.
- Michelle, we're getting
really clear
footprints on camera,
the carpet and the spare room.
- Hear that?
We have to go upstairs.
This isn't over.
- We're on damage limitation.
- What about the family?
They deserve answers.
- [laughs] Answers.
-Michelle is absolutely right.
There is a family
at the center of all this.
They need our help.
- We are going to a heartbeat,
repeat after the headlines.
[Gnarls] You'll have 3 minutes
to poke around.
-Excuse me.
David, I am
the executive producer
of this program.
- Executive producer, Gerry.
That's the only way they
can get rid
of you.
I didn't want you,
and I didn't want you.
You know who I wanted?
Eamonn Holmes, and
Tina Campbell.
Serious broadcasters.
Still, I got a dinosaur
and a bimbo.
- Excuse me? -Time to end.
I am 54.
- 2 minutes, then we are out
- 3... 2... 1...
- Welcome back to Haunted
Ulster live.
and we are so glad you
were brave enough
to stick with us live from
our haunted house.
Are you enjoying yourself,
Michelle?
- I am having the time
of my life, Gerry.
- Great stuff.
Well, the seance has revealed
the presence
of Blackfoot Jack,
and the ghost hunters
have discovered
strange footprints
in the spare room.
- Do we have a time for a wee
cup of tea before
we head up there?
- Oh, I'm sure we do,
but
we'll get going anyway.
- Okay [laughs]
- [whispers] Come on, let's go.

[Radio static]- Michelle,
can you hear me?
- Yes, Kyle?
- Could you check around
upstairs for Robert
while you're up there?
- We need to get a dash
reading from him?
- Okay
- Where is he?
- Haven't got him on
camera anywhere.
Maybe left with Sinead.
He was wearing a body cam,
but we're not getting a signal.
[Footsteps]
- Robert?

Robert.

Robert came up here to get it.
- Oh
Look
[laughs]
1-1-0-1-9.
- Of course
- Oh. That is spooky
- Come on, Jack.
I'm dyslexic, and I could
do a better job.
And are these supposed
to be the footprints?
- Looks like someone
spilled their tea.
[door slammed shut]
- Oh my God
[gulps]
[shocked]
- Kyle?
Can you see this in the monitor?
- I can see them.
Darryl's checking the recording.
to see if they were there
a few minutes ago.
- Michelle?
There's something in here.
[breathing heavily]
Let's get out of here.
- We should go up to Declan.
-No, no, let's not do that.
[panting]
- Don't leave me!
- Oh my God
- Oh, Jesus
[running sound]

[TV static click]
[faint beeping sound]
[beeping sound]
- Do you know what
he gets up
to when
he leaves the house?
- Castle Gardens please man.
- Do you know where he's been
when he comes home at all hours?
What does he tell you?
Just watching the football
with the lads?
having a pint down the local?
[car door opens]
Do you have a killer
in your home?
[gun shots]
[man running]
- Don't suffer it.
Change it.
[music fades]
[Commercial Music]
- I don't believe the
time gate thing.
It's ridiculous.
But if John Newell's stuck
in a time gate,
he needs a psychic child
to release him.
What website did you
read that on?
- Robert's website.
-Fools us see?
- That could be why John Newell
wants to bring her to the attic.
She can release him.
[TV static]
- The man was found in
Montgomery street,
in Belfast City Center.
The scene is still
cordon off.
Now,
it's not often
we feature a program
we're interrupting.
But the one you may have
been tuned into
has caused quite a storm.
Haunted Ulster Live,
is a live broadcast
from a reputedly
haunted house
in Belfast.
But even before it aired,
politicians and religious
leaders
have criticized the program
for being in poor taste.
Some have even said that it
promotes occult practices.
Louise Nelson, reports.
- Parents and religious leaders,
are up in arms about
the program airing
on TVNI tonight.
- Our worry as parent-teacher
group,
is that this program,
is gonna push our children
into devil worshipping,
or Dungeons and Dragons, or
that sort of thing.
We've had far too much trouble
in this country.
- The program hasn't
aired yet though.
- What?
- It hasn't been on yet.
How do you know what's in it?
- There's far too
much sex
on TV.
- Kyle.
- Michelle?
- Kyle
Kyle. I can't hear you.
- They're getting everyone
out of the house.
- We saw something on
the attic stairs.
[beeping]
- Michelle, Rose went
into the attic.
- Wait, but she's in the attic?
Thanks for leaving me, Gerry.
- We have to get everybody
out of this house
right now
- Outside, everyone.
- Yes, yes, that's right.
Get everyone out.
-Turn back for 2 seconds.
- She's up in the attic. - What?
We have to get the police.
There is something
that's up there.
- No, no, no. They're
on their way
We need to give them time
to investigate the whole house.
We need to get the
volunteers
to get
everyone out the front
while the police conduct
interviews.
- What is going on?
- Sinead's dead.
She had a massive heart attack.
The ambulance is still outside.
Look, we need to
get everyone out
right now.
- Kyle, is Rose still
in the attic?
[radio static]
- I cant see her because
the camera
doesn't cover the whole room,
but she went in there.
- Is Declan picking up?
[radio static] - No.
- We're going up together.
- No you cannot go up there
- Declan. Aren't we
going to Declan?
-There's something up there.
- Declan - My daughter's
up there.
- No, it doesn't matter.
The show's over.
- This is my house!
- See if more than double the
last episode of heartbeat.
- What?
-Viewers. Thousands
more, but the
minute they want us to continue
the broadcast.
- Jesus Christ
- What about the police?
- I'll deal with them.
Michelle.
Does anybody know if the ghost
witness is still outside?
- Yes. He's up the
side of the house.
- Okay. Michelle,
[sighs] can you go
and talk
to him,
please?
- I'm going up to get her.
- Okay, come on.
- No, no no.
- Someone get Rose down.
- No, we need the police.
Or bring the army in.
- Kyle, or Ryan,
or whatever his name is.
Get him on the radio.
- And I saw a beast,
rising from
the sea.
With 10 horns and seven heads.
And on the horns were 10 diadems
a blasphemous names
on its heads.
- Did you gather all
the crew out front?
Get witchy, or whatever
- My daughter
for God's sake.
This is still my house.
[Loud rumbling]
[wood rattling]
- I'll go.
- No, no, no. You need
to take a seat, Gerry.
Look at the states of you.
- I'm the excutive producer.
I am the excutive producer.
I am Gerry Burns.
And I was broadcasting
into the homes
of the good people at
this wee country,
while you were still shitting
in English nobbies.
I'll bring them down
stairs. It's
my job.
It's my job.
And you're coming with me.
- Gerry! Gerry!
Did you get my note?
[Gasps]
She came
- I wrote you another
song. Did you
get it?
- Get away from it, come on.
- Just remind her she's to
stay 100 meters
from me.
Alright?
Okay. [breathes heavily]
Let's go.
[Footsteps]
[wood creaking]
[footsteps]
[footsteps]
- Devil worshippers.
This is against God's work.
I am the way,
the truth for the life.
No one shall come to the father,
except through me.
There stands a whore of satan.
The anti-christ is here.
-Where you came from.?
I have finally
being joined by Brandon.
- Good evening.
- Now, you are a neighbor
and you knew
the previous owners
of this house?
- That's right. I was friends
with the Griffins.
I would've had a wee half pint
with Paul after work.
About 1983 or so,
Me and he
were coming just up
the road there.
And his wife
was shivering on the
front garden.
I'll never forget it.
She was in her pajamas.
She had her whole
brood around her,
and she wouldn't go
back in the house.
She was that frightened.
- Really?
-My wife actually took her in
and gave her a wee
nibble whiskey
just to calm her down.
- And why was she so upset?
-She said there was
something moving
about the house in the night.
And she dragged the
kids out
of bed,
and straight out of the house.
- And what did you do?
- Well me and Paul
thought she must
have caught a burglar.
So we goes on in.
As soon as we got to
the front door,
we saw something
with its back to us.
- A ghost?
- Now, that's not a word
I would ever use,
but God's honest truth,
we both saw it.
Now,
I still thought
someone must have broken in.
So I shout,
what the bleep are you doing?
- And then what happened?
- I turned around.
We both saw it
And it was there,
but it wasn't there.
With light coming out of it.
And it's saying
something over and over,
coming towards us.
- The ghost of John Newell.
- Now I, you mentioned
him earlier?
But no. This was a younger man.
- A younger man?
- Yes, you see John Newell
died an old man.
I'm into my local
history, you see.
There was a John Newell
lived there
in about the 1910s,
but he didn't have a daughter.
And lived to the right
old age
of 85,
which is a good.
island ins and them days.
I don't know where the daughter
story came from,
but there is no record of it.
So I think someone's
been caughting you
along with that. You know.
- One story we've heard
is that he's calling
out for his daughter. Maribel?
-Well, that's close,
but I'll never forget.
what this creature was saying.
It was Michelle, Michelle
- Michelle?
- [laughs] Like that?
[Gasps deeply]
Kyle
Kyle, just with a neighbor here.
-Alright, now
there is a photo taken
of the same character
in the house
in the 1950s.
Would you believe?
You can keep that.
- Thank you, Brandon.
[paper rustling]
- Michelle, Michelle
Are you excited about
presenting great evil?
[smiles]
[paper rustling]
- Is that
Robert?
- Are you okay, Gerry?
Why have we stopped? [thuds]
[panting]
Do you wanna keep going?
- As a child, I was always
afraid of the dark.
[sniffs]
Because I knew
that's where the bad
things happened.
[inhales deeply]
[exhales]
[tap]
[Gasps]
Turn that off for a
second, would you?
- Okay, okay.
Hey do you want to go on?
Are we going
to go?
No?
Okay, let's just call it.
Let's go home, okay?
Let's forget about it.
[child screams]
- Rose?
[child continues screaming]
- Rose, I'm coming. [TV Static]
[Rock music playing]
- Michelle?
Michelle?
Just wondering where you were?
Gerry's on his way off
the room in Declan.
Declan's still not answering
his radio.
There's a lot of interference
with that attic monitor.
- Still no sign of Robert?
[Siren sound]
Something Rose said earlier
during the seance,
"Walking in darkness"
Robert said the same
thing in
his VT.
Look
[distorted voice]
- I lived a normal life
for a long time.
Walking in darkness,
I call it.
[Distorted TV static]
Walking in darkness, I call it
- Did you catched that?
- Had wanting from the table.
She may head to the police?
I won't be long
- Yeah, yeah
- Why'd they locked the door?
- [Loud knocking] Rose!
Hello
Can you hear me?
[continues knocking]
Rose!
[continues knocking]
Declan!
[TV distorted static]
[continues knocking]
Declan!
[TV distorted static]
Rose!
- Still no contact from Declan?
- No
It's so weird.
He seems to be completely
oblivious to everything
that's going all around him.
[music plays] I mean
he's been like that
all night.
[rock music playing]
- Michelle!
We're asking everyone to
gather at the corner
of the street while the police
search the house.
-Dave
- I didn't mean what I?
I'm sorry, Michelle
I really am
- Has anyone actually
met Declan before?
[music plays]
- Declan!
Is Rose in there with you?
Come on, let's go.
[banging door]
[continues knocking] - Michelle
- Hello?
- Michelle.
- Robert. Thank God.
Where are you?
- I'm
in
the
attic. [ghoulish voice]

[fast breathing]
Rose?

Robert, can you see her?
Can you see Rose?
[panting]
[soft beep]
- Robert, what are
you doing
to her?
[Clicking sound]
- Rose, what do you remember
about Haunted Ulster Live?
Has your mom been back here?
- Mommy won't come.
- What if we find him there?
- Nobody knows yet.
They're still digging.
- I know you just
want to recreate
this night for laughs.
But this actually
happened
to me.
I can still hear him calling,
[wind rustling]
Walking in darkness.
[Dramatic music]
- Rose Mckillen is sticking
with her story.
- Rose!
- And you know what?
- Rose!
- I actually believe her.
-Can you hear me?
- I can't believe it's 25 years
to the day since the
original broadcast.
And Robert Pratt's body
was never recovered. [chuckles]
Still gives me the creeps.
[Clicks]
- Don't forget to send send in
your own spooky stories.

- I've always been fascinated
by ley lines,
ancient channels
beneath our feet
that hold huge amounts
of psychic energy
enough to open a gateway
to other worlds
where space and time
exist outside of the accepted
law of physics.
There's so much modern Science
doesn't understand.
Could there be a scientific
explanation
for the supernatural?
[Static sound]
- Could you end up trapped
like a ghost
lost in time?
