Ghost Adventures (2008) s05e01 Episode Script
Ashmore Estates
1 (woman screams) (man) THERE WERE PATIENTS DESCRIBED AS BEING POSSESSED.
I HAD BEEN PICKED UP AND PUSHED DOWN.
I WANTED TO ACTUALLY TAKE THAT SHOVEL AND SMASH SOMEBODY IN THE HEAD WITH IT.
YOU GUYS FEEL THAT? (Aaron) IT'S CREEPY IN THERE.
IT'S WEIRD IN THERE, MAN.
(Zak) WE'RE ALL GONNA USE PROVOCATION (Nick) ZAK, YOU ALL RIGH OVER THERE, MAN? (Aaron whistles) (singsongy) COME HERE.
(whistles) (loud bang) (bleep)! (Nick) THERE'S SOMETHING COMING AT YOU? WHAT THE (bleep) IS THA COMING DOWN THE LADDER? THIS IS IT'S NO A PLEASANT PLACE TO BE.
MY NAME IS ZAK BAGANS.
I NEVER BELIEVED IN GHOSTS UNTIL I CAME FACE-TO-FACE WITH ONE.
(gasps) YOU WANTED US.
YOU GOT US.
SO I SET OUT ON A QUES TO CAPTURE WHAT I ONCE SAW ONTO VIDEO.
(Nick) GO, GO, GO! WITH NO BIG CAMERA CREWS FOLLOWING US AROUND, I AM JOINED ONLY BY MY FELLOW INVESTIGATOR NICK GROFF AND OUR EQUIPMENT TECH AARON GOODWIN.
THE THREE OF US WILL TRAVEL TO SOME OF THE MOST HIGHLY ACTIVE PARANORMAL LOCATIONS, WHERE WE WILL SPEND AN ENTIRE NIGH BEING LOCKED DOWN FROM DUSK UNTIL DAWN.
YOU HAVE REACHED YOUR FINAL DESTINATION-- HELL.
RAW STOP! EXTREME (Nick shouts indistinctly) (bleep)! (Zak) STOP! STOP RUNNING! AAH! (bleep)! THESE ARE OUR GHOST ADVENTURES.
(Zak) IS THIS IT? (Nick) LOOKS LIKE IT.
IT'S THE ONLY DECREPIT BUILDING IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE.
HAS TO BE IT.
WE'RE PULLING UP ON OUR NEXT LOCKDOWN-- ASHMORE ESTATES.
SUPPOSEDLY INFESTED BY SPIRITS-- EVIL, EVIL, DEMONIC ENTITIES.
THIS PLACE LOOKS (bleep) UP.
WHAT IS THAT NEAR THE TREE? WHAT THE (bleep)? IS IT A STATUE OR IS HE REAL? DUDE, KEEP GOING.
KEEP GOING.
IS HE STARING AT US? YES.
(Aaron) NICE.
HE'S STARING AT US.
THE COW'S ALL CHAINED UP.
LOOK.
(Aaron groans) WHERE ARE WE? (Zak) WE'RE ZAK, NICK, AND AARON.
HOW YOU DOING? BEEN WAITING FOR YOU GUYS.
(chuckles) OH.
OOH.
HOW LONG YOU BEEN STANDING OUT THERE WAITING? (laughs) I CAN STAND A LONG TIME.
YOU GUYS WANNA GET OU OF THE CAR? IN A HORROR MOVIE, THIS IS WHERE WE LOCK THE CAR (Aaron and Zak laugh) AND DON'T GET OUT.
(laughs) (Zak) THIS IS ASHMORE ESTATES? THIS IS IT.
THIS IS WEIRD.
A COW.
YES, IT'S A COW.
OKAY.
YOU'RE NOT FROM AROUND THESE PARTS, HUH? NO, UH DUDE, DOES THE COW ALWAYS JUS GET TIED UP TO THE TREE THERE? WELL, IT'S FREE FOOD.
(dogs bark) YOU HAVE HORSES, TOO.
WE HAVE HORSES.
DO YOU HAVE GHOSTS? I THINK YOU GUYS ARE GONNA HAVE FUN.
THAT GUY (sighs) HE'S KINDA CREEPING ME OUT.
(chuckles) ALL RIGHT, LET'S TAKE A CHANCE.
(Zak) SCOTT? YEAH? OH.
WHAT'S THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN? WELL OKAY.
WITH LONG STRETCHES OF FARMLAND AND A POPULATION UNDER 800, ASHMORE, ILLINOIS, IS A PICTURE OF THE RURAL MIDWEST.
BUT WITHIN THESE TOWN LIMITS, ONE BUILDING RISES FROM THE GROUND LIKE A SORE, INFECTED THUMB.
ASHMORE ESTATES IS SAID TO BE THE SITE OF DEMONIC ACTIVITY, DATING BACK NEARLY 150 YEARS.
IN 1870, THESE GROUNDS WERE HOME TO THE COLES COUNTY ALMSHOUSE, A POOR FARM THAT HOUSED AND PUT TO WORK THE OUTCASTS OF THE SURROUNDING COMMUNITIES.
(man) YES, IT WAS WHAT WAS CALLED AN ALMSHOUSE, WHICH BASICALLY HOUSED THE POOR AND INDIGENT PEOPLE WITHOUT FAMILIES, ALCOHOLICS, ELDERLY PEOPLE WHO COULDN' TAKE CARE OF THEMSELVES.
SO A LOT OF PEOPLE WOULD'VE DIED IN THIS BUILDING BECAUSE THEY SPEN THE END PAR OF THEIR LIFE HERE.
THE GROUNDS REMAINED A POOR FARM UNTIL 1959, WHEN THE COUNTY SOLD THE LAND TO A GROUP OF INVESTORS WHO TURNED THE BUILDING INTO A PRIVATE PSYCHIATRIC HOSPITAL.
THEY HOUSED ALL KINDS OF DIFFERENT PATIENTS HERE.
BASICALLY, THERE WAS AN OVERFLOW FROM THE STATE MENTAL INSTITUTION, AND THEY WOULD HOUSE THE, UM, MOST SEVERE PATIENTS ON THE THIRD FLOOR.
(woman screaming) (man) NO, NO, NO! (sobs) FORMER STAFF MEMBERS WOULD TALK ABOU HOW THERE WERE PATIENTS WHO THEY DESCRIBED AS BEING POSSESSED WHO HAD UNNATURAL STRENGTH.
ONE BROKE HER RESTRAINTS THAT RESTRAINED HER TO THE GURNEY.
ARE YOU SERIOUS? SOME WERE PRETTY, UH, VIOLENT.
(laughing) OVER THE COURSE OF THE HISTORY OF THIS BUILDING, AT LEAST A HUNDRED PEOPLE DIED HERE BETWEEN WHEN IT WAS A POOR FARM TO WHEN IT WAS A PSYCHIATRIC FACILITY, (Zak) THE DEATHS, THE DISEASE, THE PSYCHOSES.
(window creaks) ALL CONTRIBUTING FACTORS IN THE SLEW OF HAUNTINGS AT ASHMORE ESTATES SINCE ITS CLOSING IN 1986.
BUT PERHAPS NONE WAS MORE CHILLING THAN WHAT HAPPENED TO A LOCAL WEATHERMAN IN 2009.
I UNDERSTAND THAT YOU SPEN A COUPLE NIGHTS HERE YES.
AS PART OF A SPECIAL FOR YOUR NEWS STATION.
RIGHT? RIGHT.
WE WERE STREAMING ON THE WEB.
WE WERE DOING A STORY ABOUT ASHMORE ESTATES, AND A GROUP PEOPLE WHO WERE SKEPTICS AND A GROUP OF PEOPLE WHO WERE BELIEVERS.
AND IN THOSE TWO GROUPS, YOU YOURSELF ARE A SKEPTIC.
ABSOLUTELY.
I WAS A SKEPTIC.
I-I BELIEVED IN A SPIRIT REALM BUT I DID NOT BELIEVE IN GHOSTS AND I DID NOT BELIEVE THIS PLACE WAS HAUNTED.
I JUST WANT YOU TO TELL ME WORD FOR WORD WHAT IN THE HELL HAPPENED TO YOU.
OKAY.
I DON'T KNOW.
THAT'S THE BEST-- YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT? I DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED? IF I WAS ATTACKED OR NOT.
NO, I DON'T--I DON'T HAVE ANY RECOLLECTION AT ALL.
THE PEOPLE WHO WERE BELIEVERS ACTUALLY DID WITNESS, AND THEY'RE THE ONES WHO I GUESS YOU CAN RESCUED ME FROM A REALLY BIZARRE HAPPENING THAT, UH, OCCURRED TO ME.
ARE YOU NERVOUS TO WALK IN THIS BUILDING RIGHT NOW? UM, A LITTLE.
YES.
IF YOU GET UNCOMFORTABLE AT ANY TIME GOING BACK IN HERE, KEVIN, LET ME KNOW.
(Kevin) OCTOBER THE 30th-- A RAINY, DAMP, CHILLY NIGHT.
THIS WAS ABOUT 4:30 IN THE MORNING.
(Zak) IN THE MORNING? IT WAS RIGHT UP HERE AT THIS NURSES' STATION.
THIS IS WHERE WE HAD OUR EQUIPMENT SET UP TO STREAM LIVE ON THE WEB.
I WAS HERE.
THE NEXT THING I KNOW, I WAS UP AND LYING DOWN LIKE THIS WITH MY SHOULDER HERE.
PEOPLE CROWDED AROUND ME.
"KEVIN, WAKE UP.
KEVIN ARE YOU OKAY?" RIGHT HERE ON THIS FLOOR WITH MY SHOULDER BROKEN.
IF YOU WERE SITTING IN THE CHAIR AND YOU WERE TO JUST FAIN FROM SOMETHING-- OKAY, LET'S SAY IT'S NOT RELATED TO PARANORMAL.
YES.
YOU WOULD FALL THIS WAY OR FALL OVER HERE.
RIGHT.
YOU WERE WAY IN THIS DIRECTION.
THAT'S CORRECT.
MAYBE SOME REALLY DEMONIC FORCE PICKED YOUR ASS UP AND SLAMMED YOU ON THE GROUND.
IT'S POSSIBLE BECAUSE THE IMPACT WAS HERE ON MY SHOULDER.
I DIDN'T HIT MY HEAD.
IT WAS RIGHT HERE, AS IF I HAD BEEN PICKED UP AND PUSHED DOWN.
AFTER THIS HAPPENED, DID YOU HAVE ANYTHING HAPPEN-- ANYTHING WEIRD HAPPEN TO YOU AT YOUR HOUSE? I DID HAVE SOME SCARY DREAMS, AND I WASN'T MYSELF.
I WAS NOT MYSELF FOR ABOU THREE WEEKS AFTERWARDS.
(sighs) DID YOU FEEL AGGRESSION? WERE YOU FEELING ANGRY AT-- AGI--AGITATION.
AGITATION AND--AND, UM, JUST NOT MYSELF.
THAT'S A STATE OF OPPRESSION.
THAT'S A DEMONIC ATTACK.
WHEN YOU HAVE SOMETHING LIKE THAT HAPPEN TO YOU, IT'D GOTTEN INSIDE OF YOU.
YEAH.
YOU'RE FEELING THAT ENERGY.
IT DOESN'T LIKE YOU FOR SOME REASON.
I BELIEVE THAT.
AND I COULD SEE WHY IT'S VERY UNCOMFORTABLE YEAH.
FOR YOU TO COME BACK TO THIS SPOT RIGHT NOW.
YEAH, I--THIS IS YEAH, THIS IS IT'S NOT A PLEASANT PLACE TO BE.
WE DON'T WANT YOU TO BE UNCOMFORTABLE ANYMORE, AND WE WANT YOU TO GO AHEAD AND--AND GET OUT OF THIS AREA.
THANK YOU.
THANK YOU.
THANK YOU.
(Kevin exhales deeply) (Zak) YOU CAN CRITICIZE.
YOU CAN LOOK AT THIS HOWEVER YOU WANT.
TO SEE THESE PEOPLE JUST TREMBLE, JUST SCARED IT PISSES ME OFF.
I WAS BULLIED WHEN I WAS A KID, AND I HATE WHEN OTHER PEOPLE ARE BULLIED.
AND TO HEAR THE PAIN, TO HEAR THE FRIGH IN THIS GUY'S VOICE, IT--THIS IS WHEN IT MAKES WHAT WE DO MEANINGFUL, 'CAUSE WE NEED TO GET ANSWERS FOR HIM.
WELL, IT'S SCARY, MAN, 'CAUSE WE--ALL THREE OF US HAVE HAD THAT.
MOON RIVER BREWERY, WHERE I BLACKED OUT.
YOU AT POVEGLIA, WHERE YOU BLACKED OUT.
AARON--MACKEY'S.
BUT ASIDE FROM SOME PHYSICAL LITTLE SCARS AND SCRATCHES, WE'VE NEVER BEEN SERIOUSLY PHYSICALLY INJURED.
BUT, UM-- NOT YET.
I COULD FEEL--I COULD FEEL THE EMOTIONS.
YEAH.
HE WAS TREMBLING.
YOU KNOW, IT JUST-- WHEN--WHEN YOU GUYS WALKED AWAY, I WALKED OVER 'CAUSE I SAW HIM.
HE HAD HIS HANDS ON HIS HEAD LIKE HE WAS GONNA BREAK DOWN.
OH, HE--I COULD HEAR HIM.
I GOT--I WAS SHOOTING HIM THROUGH THE WINDOW, AND HE WAS SITTING THERE LIKE SHAKEN UP.
LIKE HE WAS LOSING HIMSELF.
OH, YEAH.
DUDE, I COULD HEAR HIM ON MY MIKE, AND HE WAS JUST LIKE (sighs) (Zak) COME ON.
COME ON.
YEAH, I KNOW.
I WAS FILMING IT.
HE WAS ALREADY OFF.
YEAH, I DON'T KNOW WHERE HE WENT.
HE WALKED OFF.
(Zak) KEVIN? LOOK, UH, D-DEMONIC, UH, POSSESSION IS A VERY SCARY THING TO DEAL WITH.
I DON'T WANT THA TO BE UNCOMFORTABLE FOR YOU AND--AND TRY AND GET THIS OUT OF YOUR LIFE.
YEAH.
BUT AT THE SAME TIME, WE'RE JUST TRYING TO-- WE'RE TRYING TO GET YOU ANSWERS TO HELP YOU OUT.
I'M--I'M GLAD TO DO THIS.
IT ACTUALLY IS KIND OF CLEANSING TO BE ABLE TO DO THAT.
WELL, GOOD.
AND THAT'S WHA WE'RE HERE FOR.
YEP.
ALL RIGHT? OKAY.
AND WE'RE SORRY FOR WHAT YOU WENT THROUGH, BUT NOW IT'S TIME FOR US TO GO TO WORK.
YEAH.
ALL RIGHT? YEAH.
GOOD LUCK.
I WANTED TO ACTUALLY TAKE THAT SHOVEL AND SMASH SOMEBODY IN THE HEAD WITH IT.
ARE YOU UNCOMFORTABLE BEING IN HERE? I DON'T WAN TO BE IN HERE, NO.
YOU GUYS FEEL THAT? (Aaron) IT'S CREEPY IN THERE.
IT'S WEIRD IN THERE, MAN.
HE WOULD SCREAM OUT THINGS IN HIS SLEEP.
I ALWAYS WONDERED IF HE WAS DOING SOMETHING TO MOM OR SOMETHING.
(Scott) ANDREW WHELAN.
DAVID COMMINGS.
JOHN L.
COKE.
BETTY SCOTT.
JOHN STEVENS.
SCOTT KELLEY, THE CURRENT PROPRIETOR OF ASHMORE ESTATES, PAYS HIS RESPECTS TO THE POOR, STRICKEN SOULS WHO PERISHED ON ITS GROUNDS.
MARY DACNON.
ZEKE PHILIPS.
OVER THE YEARS, HE HAS OPENED THE BUILDING TO INVESTIGATORS SEARCHING FOR ANSWERS TO THE FRIGHTENING OCCURRENCES THAT TAKE PLACE INSIDE.
NOW AS A CORRECTIONAL OFFICER, YOU ARE HIGHLY TRAINED TO USE YOUR SENSES VERY WELL.
PRETTY MUCH.
I WOULD-- I WOULD HAVE TO AGREE WITH THAT.
WHAT HAVE YOU EXPERIENCED OVER AT ASHMORE ESTATES? IT WAS ME AND ANOTHER CORRECTIONAL OFFICER.
WE ENTERED THE BUILDING.
IT WAS IN HORRIBLE CONDITIONS, A LOT OF VANDALISM.
WE HAD WALKED INTO THE BOILER ROOM.
WE WERE FILMING TO SEE WHAT TYPE OF CONDITION THE BUILDING WAS IN.
AS I SWUNG THE CAMERA AROUND, I ACTUALLY CAUGHT AN APPARITION COMING OUT OF A CORRIDOR.
AN APPARITION OF WHO WE NOW KNOW IS JOE BLOXOM.
JOE BLOXOM WAS A RESIDENT OF THE POOR FARM WHO WAS SIDESWIPED BY A TRAIN AND LATER DIED ON THESE GROUNDS.
JOSEPH OLIVER BLOXOM.
BUT BLOXOM ISN' THE ONLY SPIRI WHO HAS LINGERED HERE AFTER A VIOLENT DEATH.
7 YEAR OLD ELVA SKINNER FELL VICTIM TO SUBSTANDARD CONDITIONS AT THE FARM.
FEBRUARY OF 1880, THERE WAS ACTUALLY A FIRE AT ASHMORE ESTATES.
(screaming) SHE PERISHED IN THE FIRE.
IT WAS DOCUMENTED IN THE CENSUS IN 1880 WOW.
UM, THAT SHE EXPIRED THERE.
I'M TELLING YA, UPSTAIRS YOU'LL CAPTURE-- I HAVE ALL HER AUDIO.
(Juli speaks indistinctly) AND IT'S NOT ON THE-- IT'S DOWN HERE.
(Juli speaks indistinctly) AND IT'S NOT ON THE-- IT'S DOWN HERE.
(birds chirping) THIS IS MID-ILLINOIS GHOST SOCIETY.
HOW YOU GUYS DOIN'? GOOD.
HOW ARE YOU? WE JUST HEARD OF-- OF A METEOROLOGIS WHO INVESTIGATED THIS PLACE, AND THEN FOR THREE WEEKS AFTER THA FEELS AGGRESSION AND IRRITABILITY.
YOU'RE SMILING AS I SAY THIS AND LOOKING AT HIM.
(man) YES.
AND I'M NOT--I'M NOT GONNA SAY NOTHING.
I'M GONNA ASK YOU RIGHT NOW.
WHY, WHEN I WAS SAYING WHA HAPPENED TO THE METEOROLOGIST, WERE YOU LOOKING AT HIM WITH A GRIN? BECAUSE HE HAS REFUSED TO EVER COME BACK HERE AND INVESTIGATE WITH US.
HE'S NEVER BEEN BACK WITH US WHEN WE'VE COME HERE.
CAN I BORROW YOU FOR A SECOND? YES, YOU CAN.
AND WE'RE GONNA GO INSIDE.
UM, ARE YOU G--YOU-- I'LL BE ALL RIGHT.
BE ALL RIGHT? (woman) ARE YOU SURE? YEAH, I'M SURE.
(Zak) YOU DON'T LIKE BEING IN HERE? IT JUST BRINGS BACK (sighs deeply) WEIRD MEMORIES.
I BET.
VERY STRANGE.
FOR THE SECOND TIME TODAY, WE'RE BRINGING A VICTIM BACK INSIDE THE ESTATES TO THE SCENE OF HIS ATTACK.
THESE ARE PEOPLE WHO SEEK ANSWERS FOR THE UNEXPLAINED MISERY THAT HAS CLOUDED THEIR SOULS.
WE BELIEVE THAT SHARING THESE EXPERIENCES IS THE ONLY ROAD TO CLOSURE.
(Zak) THIS IS IT? (Bret) THE VERY STAIRS.
TALKED ME THROUGH WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU, BRET.
WE WERE HAVING A HAUNTED HOUSE HERE ONE NIGHT, AND I WAS ABOUT RIGHT HERE, AND, YOU KNOW, I HAD TO STOP.
SOMETHING HAD HIT ME AND WENT RIGHT THROUGH, AND I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT IT WAS.
MY JOB WAS TO CARRY A SHOVEL AROUND WITH ME AND BANG ON SOME SIDING THAT THEY HAD HANGING DOWN FROM THE CEILING.
I ACTUALLY FELT LIKE I WAS LIVING THE PART.
I WANTED TO ACTUALLY TAKE THAT SHOVEL AND SMASH SOMEBODY IN THE HEAD WITH IT.
SMASH WHOSE HEADS? PEOPLE WALKING THROUGH THE LINE.
(smack, thud) HEARING ABOU BRET'S VIOLENT THOUGHTS MAKES US THINK BACK TO OUR OWN DARK IMPULSES AT ANOTHER HELLISH LOCATION.
(Zak) WHEN WE WERE IN THE BASEMENT, YOU AND I STARTED FEELING THE SAME THINGS.
YEAH, DREAD AND SORROW AND WANTED TO KILL EVERYBODY THAT WAS HERE.
(Aaron) I STARTED GETTING A LITTLE ANGRY.
HE STARTED THROWING THE HOLY WATER, AND ALL I COULD VISUALIZE WAS JUST--WAS BEATING HIM UP.
I WANTED TO KILL HIM.
WHAT HAPPENED AT HOME? SCREAMING IN MY SLEEP.
MY WIFE WOULD--WOULD STICK HER HEAD IN THERE, AND HERE I AM, I'M LEANING UP ON MY ELBOW IN BED, TALKING TO SOMEBODY JUST LIKE WE ARE, BUT THERE'S NOBODY THERE.
WITH WHAT WE'VE BEEN THROUGH, WHAT YOU EXPERIENCED WAS A DEMONIC ATTACK LEADING INTO A STATE OF DEMONIC OPPRESSION.
YEAH.
ARE YOU UNCOMFORTABLE BEING IN HERE RIGHT NOW? I MEAN, I'M--I'M NOT--I DON' WANT TO BE I HERE, NO.
DEALING WITH DEMONS AGAIN, NICK.
WE'RE GONNA BE DEALING WITH DEMONS AGAIN.
(Zak) OUR JOB IS TO COME HERE AND INVESTIGATE CLAIMS OF THE PARANORMAL, TO INTERVIEW PEOPLE TO HELP THEM FIND CLOSURE FOR ATTACKS THAT HAVE HAPPENED TO THEM.
(exhales deeply) (Aaron) FEEL BETTER? YEAH, I GOT MY BREATH.
I'M ALL RIGHT.
(Zak) BUT IT'S THE PAIN THAT YOU'RE GONNA ENDURE THE TWO TO THREE WEEKS AFTERWARDS.
YOU GUYS FEEL THAT? YEAH, IT'S CREEPY IN THERE.
IT'S WEIRD IN THERE, MAN.
YEAH, THERE'S SOMETHING REAL NEGATIVE IN THERE.
UH-HUH.
OFTEN, I THINK TO MYSELF, HERE WE GO AGAIN.
BECAUSE BRET'S STORY WAS VERY POWERFUL, AND WE'RE GETTING READY TO BE LOCKED DOWN IN THIS LOCATION, WE NEED TO TALK TO HIS FAMILY.
(door creaks) HOW YOU DOING, MAN? I KNOW THIS TOPIC MAY SOUND KINDA WEIRD, BUT I WANNA KNOW MORE.
WHAT HAPPENED WHEN HE GOT HOME? HE WOULD SCREAM OUT THINGS IN HIS SLEEP AND HE WOULD CARRY ON CONVERSATIONS-- I MEAN, COMPLETE CONVERSATIONS WITH SOMEONE.
HAS HE DONE THIS BEFORE IN YOUR MARRIAGE? NO.
NEVER.
JUST AFTER THIS HAPPENED TO HIM? YES.
WHAT DID YOU NOTICE? DID YOU NOTICE ANY DIFFERENCE OR CHANGE IN HIM AT ALL? YEAH, I MEAN, IT WAS JUST EVERY NIGHT, SCREAMING IN HIS SLEEP.
I-- YOU COULD HEAR IT, TOO? YEAH.
YEAH.
I'D COME IN THERE, AND I ALWAYS WONDERED IF HE WAS DOING SOMETHING TO MOM OR SOMETHING.
IS THERE ANYTHING THAT NICK, AARON, OR MYSELF CAN DO IN OUR INVESTIGATION TO GIVE YOU GUYS MORE ANSWERS? IT WOULD BE NICE TO KNOW, YOU KNOW, WHAT IT WAS WHO IT WAS.
I DON'T WANT ANYTHING TO GO HOME WITH YOU GUYS, BUT, MAN, I HOPE YOU-- I HOPE YOU GET SOMETHING.
(Zak) YOU GONNA COME OUT AND PLAY WITH US? (static crackling) I'M USING THE SPIRIT BOX RIGHT NOW.
HOW DID YOU DIE? I THINK THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I'VE BEEN ACTUALLY SCARED FOR THE LOCK-IN PROCESS.
HI, SCOTT.
HOW YOU DOING, ZAK? GOOD.
HOW ARE YOU? YOU READY TO DO THIS? WE'RE READY TO DO THIS, MAN.
IT'S A CREEPY NIGHT.
WONDERFUL NIGHT FOR YOU GUYS TO DO THIS.
I GOT A SPECIAL WAY TO LOCK YOU GUYS IN.
(laughing) I'M GONNA--GONNA GET INSIDE.
WE'LL SEE YA IN THE MORNING, SCOTT.
ALL RIGHT.
(drill whirs) I'VE GOT ANOTHER WAY TO LOCK YOU IN, GUYS.
(laughing) ALL RIGHT.
THAT'S COOL.
(drill whirring) (Nick) ALL RIGHT, GUYS.
LET'S GO TO WAR.
SO BECAUSE IN THIS LOCATION A GUY THAT WE SPOKE TO NAMED KEVIN-- THE METEOROLOGIST THAT WORKS FOR A NEWS STATION HERE, IS A SKEPTIC--CAME HERE, GOT ATTACKED WHILE HE WAS BY HIMSELF, WE HAVE ELECTED TO GO BY OURSELVES, ONE ON EACH OF THE THREE FLOORS.
SO, AARON, WHAT EXPERIMEN AM I GONNA BE DOING WHILE I'M BY MYSELF? UM, THE BATTERY TESTER.
YOU'VE SEEN MANY TIMES WHEN A GHOST OR SPIRI WILL COME BY US, OUR BATTERIES WILL DRAIN, OUR AUDIO EQUIPMENT.
SO DIGITAL PROOF.
DIGITAL PROOF THAT, UH, THE BATTERY ITSELF IS DRAINING.
THEY'LL SLOWLY GO DOWN.
HOPEFULLY THEY'RE NOT USING THAT ENERGY TO ATTACK ME.
BUT IN THIS CASE, I REALLY DON'T CARE.
(whispers) I HOPE IT DOES.
SO WHEN NICK'S BY HIMSELF, WHAT EQUIPMENT WILL HE BE USING? (normal voice) NICK WILL BE USING THE THERMAL CAMERA.
UH, WE'VE HAD A LOT OF LUCK WITH THIS.
UH, HALES BAR DAM RIGHT.
AND IT WAS PRETTY AWESOME.
SO THIS WILL BE SHOWING THE HOT AND COLD TEMPERATURE, THAT IF SOMETHING CROSSES OR COMES INTO THE FRAME NEAR NICK, WE WILL CAPTURE IT.
ALL RIGHT, AARON, WHAT IS GONNA BE WATCHING YOU WHEN YOU'RE BY YOURSELF, AND HOPEFULLY WHAT'S AROUND YOU? THE FULL-SPECTRUM CAMERA.
WE CAN'T SEE THE U.
V.
AND THE INFRARED LIGH THAT COMES IN, SO THIS ALLOWS US TO SEE IT.
AND, UH, THIS WILL BE SHOOTING STRAIGHT AT ME, SEEING IF ANYTHING HAPPENS.
SO RIGHT NOW, WE'RE GONNA HEAD OUT.
I'M USING THE MEL METER.
WE'RE GONNA USE THIS DEVICE TO TRY AND PICK UP ON SPIRITUAL ENERGY.
OR IN THIS CASE, A DEMONIC-TYPE ENTITY THAT HAS BEEN KNOWN TO ATTACK PEOPLE SEVERELY.
ALL OF A SUDDEN, BANG! PICKED UP AND PUSHED DOWN.
IF THIS STARTS ALARMING, THAT MEANS THAT SOME TYPE OF ENERGY IS INTERFERING WITH THE ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELD THAT'S BEING GENERATED BY THIS ANTENNA.
AT THAT POINT, I'M GONNA PU THIS DIGITAL RECORDER THAT'S MOUNTED ON A TRIPOD TO MAKE IT JUST CRISP AND CLEAN E.
V.
P.
s AND TRY AND COMMUNICATE WITH THIS SPIRIT.
KEEP YOUR GUARD UP, GUYS.
THIS ISN'T DISNEYLAND.
(Zak) WE'RE HERE TO TALK TO YOU.
(Nick) I CANNOT SEE ANYTHING.
(Aaron) LET ME SHOW HOW DARK IT IS.
IF YOU WANNA COMMUNICATE WITH US, I NEED YOU TO STEP IN FRONT OF ME.
CAN YOU COME TO MY VOICE? PUT YOUR HAND IN MY HAND SO THAT THIS DEVICE WILL ALLOW ME TO KNOW THAT YOU'RE HERE WITH ME? YOU'VE BEEN ATTACKING GUYS, AND WE'RE HERE TO FIND OUT WHY.
I'M GETTING 58 DEGREES.
STILL, NO SIGNIFICANT DROPS OR INCREASES IN TEMPERATURE.
BASE READINGS ON MILLIGALS IS STILL THE 0.
0.
THERE'S BEEN NO SPIKES.
EVERYTHING SEEMS VERY NORMAL AT THIS POINT.
NO WEIRD ENERGIES PICKED UP BY MY BODY.
YOU GUYS? NOTHING.
NOTHING YET.
I'VE BEEN FEELING FINE, ACTUALLY.
(Aaron speaks indistinctly) IT'S WHEN YOU LEAST EXPECT IT.
ABSOLUTELY.
THAT'S WHEN STUFF HAPPENS.
YOU GONNA COME OUT? YOU GONNA COME OU AND PLAY WITH US? (Zak) WE WALK AROUND FOR OVER 45 MINUTES WITHOUT PICKING UP ON ANY ABNORMAL FEELINGS OR DOCUMENTING ANY EVIDENCE ON OUR EQUIPMENT, SO WE DECIDE TO STEP IT UP BY BREAKING OUT A DEVICE THAT HAS PROVEN VERY SUCCESSFUL DURING PREVIOUS INVESTIGATIONS.
(static crackling) USING THE SPIRIT BOX RIGHT NOW.
JUST LISTEN.
LISTEN.
YOU CAN'T HEAR ANYTHING.
(static continues crackling) NOTHING.
ONCE I START ASKING QUESTIONS, YOU'LL START HEARING VOICES.
DO YOU WANNA TALK TO US? I WANT TO COME HERE AND SPEAK TO US, USING THIS.
(Aaron) WHOA! IT SAID "NICK"! DUDE, THAT WAS CLEAR AS DAY.
YEAH, THAT SAID "NICK.
" WHOA! IT SAID "NICK"! DO YOU WANNA TALK TO ME? (static continues crackling) IT IS FREAKY RIGHT NOW, MAN.
WHAT DO YOU WANNA DO TO NICK? WHAT'S YOUR NAME? ADAM? WHAT WAS THAT? IT SAID A NAME.
IT SAID "ADAM," I THINK.
THAT'S WHAT I THOUGH IT SAID.
"ADAM.
" YEAH, IT DID.
WHAT'S YOUR NAME? ADAM? WHAT WAS THAT? IT SAID A NAME.
IT SAID "ADAM," I THINK.
IS YOUR NAME ADAM? "UH-HUH.
" DID YOU HEAR IT? YEAH, I HEARD IT.
IT WAS, "UH-HUH.
" ADAM, WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE? HOW DID YOU DIE? WHOA! IT SOUNDED LIKE A GUY LAUGHED.
YEAH.
(Zak) ARE WE COMMUNICATING WITH THE EVIL SPIRI THAT'S BEEN ATTACKING PEOPLE IN HERE? WHO ELSE WOULD LAUGH IN RESPONSE TO A QUESTION ABOUT HOW THEY DIED? (static continues crackling) HOW DID YOU DIE? WHOA! IT JUST SAID "UPPER.
" (Nick) YEAH.
(Aaron) "UPPER.
" GO! UPPER FLOOR! (Nick) THERE'S SOMETHING COMING AT YOU? WHAT THE (bleep) IS THA COMING DOWN THE LADDER? (Nick) ZAK, YOU ALL RIGH OVER THERE, MAN? WE'RE IN THE FIRST FLOOR CORRIDOR OF THIS FORMER POOR FARM AND PSYCHIATRIC HOSPITAL.
A SPIRIT IDENTIFYING HIMSELF AS ADAM JUST HAD A CHILLING REACTION WHEN ASKED ABOUT HIS DEATH.
(static continues crackling) ADAM, WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE? HOW DID YOU DIE? WHOA! IT SOUNDED LIKE A GUY LAUGHED.
YEAH.
DID YOU JUST LAUGH AT ME? (static continues crackling) LET'S HEAR YOU GROWL.
LET'S HEAR YOUR SCREAMS.
WALK UP THERE A LITTLE BIT, MAN.
WHO'S IN HERE WITH US? I CAN FEEL YOU.
I FEEL DIZZY, MAN.
I DO, TOO.
OHH.
MY EQUILIBRIUM'S THROWING OFF.
DID YOU JUST SAY THAT? (banging) WHOA! WHOA, MAN! DID YOU HEAR THAT? I JUST FELT (bleep) COME THROUGH ME, MAN.
WHOA.
DID YOU JUST SAY THAT? WHOA! WHOA! WHOA! WHOA, MAN! WHO ARE YOU? (static continues crackling) YOU IN HERE? I WANNA KNOW WHO'S ATTACKING THESE GUYS.
WHY DO YOU ATTACK THE LIVING? TALK.
DID YOU HEAR THAT? YEAH, IT WAS LIKE A LITTLE GIRL, MAN, LIKE, SCREAMIN'.
YEAH.
SHE WAS, LIKE, IN PAIN.
(Zak) COULD THIS HAVE BEEN THE RESIDUAL SCREAMS OF ELVA SKINNER, THE 7-YEAR-OLD GIRL WHO PERISHED IN A FIRE HERE IN 1880? (static continues crackling) (Aaron) YOU ALL RIGHT, MAN? NO, I'M JUST I'M STARTING TO GE A BIT, LIKE--I DON'T KNOW.
I FEEL WEIRD, MAN.
ARE YOU DOING SOMETHING TO ME RIGHT NOW? WHY? WHY ARE YOU SO QUIET? IT JUST GOES TO SHOW YOU HOW LEGIT THIS DEVICE IS.
IT'LL GO FOR MINUTES AND MINUTES AND NOT SAY A (bleep) THING UNTIL YOU STAR ASKING IT QUESTIONS.
I WANT YOU TO COME OVER TO US RIGHT NOW.
CAN YOU CHANNEL THROUGH AND TALK TO ONE OF US? "YUP.
" "YUP.
" (Aaron) YEAH.
YEAH.
YOU HEAR THAT? HOW MANY OF YOU ARE AROUND ME RIGHT NOW CAUSING THIS? HOW MANY ARE YOU? ONE? "ONE.
" (Aaron) ONE! IT WAS A MAN.
HOW MANY ARE YOU? ONE? "ONE.
" (Aaron) ONE! AND THAT IS AMAZING.
I JUST GOT THE GOOSEBUMPS, MAN.
OKAY.
(Aaron) WHOA! WHOA! GUYS! (Zak) WHAT? THERE ARE (bleep) LOUD NOISES GOING ON OUT HERE.
WHOA! WHOA! THERE WERE LOUD NOISES DOWN THERE.
DUDE, WHERE'D YOU HEAR IT? WHERE? LOUD BANGING NOISES.
LIKE, PA--UH, PIPES (bleep).
(Zak) LET'S GO.
IT JUST SAID, "HEY, ZAK.
" (Nick) I HEARD "ZAK.
" "THAT'S RIGHT"! IT JUST SAID, "THAT'S RIGHT.
" (Aaron) WHOA, WHOA, WHOA.
IT JUST SAID "UPPER.
" (Nick) YEAH, IT DID.
"UPPER.
" GO! UPPER FLOOR! IT IS AT THIS TIME WE FEEL WE ARE IN DIREC INTELLIGENT COMMUNICATION WITH A SPIRIT OR DARK ENTITY AND ARE BEING GUIDED TO SOMEWHERE ON THE UPPER FLOORS, AS EVERY SINGLE WORD COMING THROUGH THE DEVICE IS RELEVAN TO OUR INTERACTIONS.
(Aaron) BE CAREFUL, MAN.
THIS IS WHERE THE GUY GOT HURT.
I WAS ABOUT RIGHT HERE, AND SOMETHING HAD HIT ME AND WENT RIGHT THROUGH.
(static crackling) WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO TO ME? (static continues crackling) (static stops) (Zak) AS I ENTER THIS UPPER FLOOR HALLWAY, I BEGIN TO FEEL VERY STRANGE.
I START SEEING FLASH IMAGES OF WHEN THIS PLACE WAS IN OPERATION-- THINGS I JUST CAN'T EXPLAIN.
AT THIS POINT, NICK AND AARON ALSO BEGIN TO NOTICE A CHANGE IN ME.
(Nick) ZAK.
YOU ALL RIGH OVER THERE, MAN? COME ON.
LET'S GO.
(thud) (whispers) OW.
YEAH, LET'S GO UP THERE.
(metal ladder rattling) (Zak) OH, (bleep).
(Nick) GUYS.
(Nick) THERE'S ANOTHER LADDER THAT GOES UP TO ANOTHER ATTIC.
DUDE.
(Zak) WHAT? THERE'S SOMETHING MOVING.
(Aaron) THERE'S SOMETHING COMING AT YOU? WHAT THE (bleep) IS THA COMING DOWN THE LADDER? THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING.
THERE WAS SOMETHING, LIKE, RUNNING.
SHH! LISTEN! (clatter) (Nick) WHAT WAS THAT NOISE? AFTER NICK HEARD SOMETHING WALK TOWARDS HIM IN THE ATTIC, YET SAW NOTHING ON HIS CAMERA, WE CAPTURED THESE NOISES, AS IF SOMETHING IS COMING DOWN THE ALUMINUM LADDER TOWARDS US.
(clattering) (Nick) WHAT WAS THAT NOISE? (Aaron) I'M GETTIN' CHILLS BAD RIGHT NOW, YOU GUYS.
(Zak) WHO ARE YOU? IDENTIFY YOURSELF.
SPEAK! (knock) (Nick) YOU HEAR THAT? THERE WAS A KNOCK RIGHT NEAR ME.
GUYS.
WATCH THIS RIGHT HERE.
WATCH THAT--WATCH YOUR BACK.
WHAT MAKES THIS EVEN STRANGER IS THA RIGHT BEFORE NICK HEARS THA UNEXPLAINED KNOCK BEHIND HIM, MY DIGITAL RECORDER CAPTURES A RELEVAN AND INTELLIGENT SPIRIT VOICE THAT APPEARS TO BE TELLING HIM TO DO SOMETHING.
SPEAK! TRY AND GET ATTACKED, AARON.
NICK, YOU'RE GOING BY YOURSELF DOWNSTAIRS HERE IN THE BASEMENT.
THIS IS GONNA BE CRAZY.
(Zak) WE'RE ALL GONNA USE PROVOCATION HERE.
THIS COULD GET VERY DANGEROUS.
GOOD LUCK.
FOR THE PAST HOUR, WE'VE BEEN RECEIVING INTELLIGENT RESPONSES TO OUR QUESTIONS WITH THE AID OF THE SPIRIT BOX.
(static crackling) HOW MANY ARE YOU? ONE? (Nick) "ONE.
" IT JUST SAID "UPPER.
" YEAH.
(Aaron) "UPPER.
" GO! UPPER FLOOR! IT DID.
(Zak) WITH THE ACTIVITY RISING, WE FEEL NOW IS THE PERFECT TIME TO SPLIT UP.
BUT BEFORE WE CAN DO SO, OUR MEL METER, WHICH DETECTS BREAKS IN THE ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELD BEING GENERATED BY ITS ANTENNA THAT SPIRITS CAN DO WHEN MANIFESTING, SUDDENLY PICKS UP ON SOMETHING.
(beeping) WHAT'D YOU--LOOK! (Nick) WHOA! WHOA! HOLY (bleep).
WHAT THE (bleep)? WHY'S IT GOING OFF LIKE THAT? (beeping stops) DUDE, I HAVE THE CHILLS SO BAD RIGHT NOW.
DUDE, I HURT.
(Zak) WHO'S AROUND AARON RIGHT NOW? IF THERE'S SOMEONE AROUND AARON RIGHT NOW, YOU TRYING TO GET TO HIM? WHAT'S WRONG? MY BACK HURT REALLY BAD ALL OF A SUDDEN.
LIKE, MY SPINE.
RIGHT AT THE TOP OF MY SPINE, DUDE.
WHAT AARON IS FEELING MAY BE THE SAME SPIRI THAT THE MEL METER IS NOW DETECTING.
GOT REALLY TIGH RIGHT UP IN HERE, DUDE.
REALLY BAD.
(beeping) (beeping stops) (Nick gasps) WAIT.
BACK UP.
IS THERE SOMEONE IN FRONT? (beeping) IT'S LIGHTING UP, DUDE.
HOLD ON, HOLD ON, HOLD ON.
(beeping stops) CAN YOU COME OVER HERE AND DO THAT AGAIN AND LET ME KNOW? WAS THERE SOMETHING-- WERE YOU TRYING TO COMMUNICATE OR TOUCH ME OR W-WHAT WAS THE DEAL? CAN YOU TELL ME IN THIS LITTLE RED LIGHT? (clatter) (Zak) WHAT THE (bleep) WAS THAT? SHH! (beeping) (gasps) (Nick) DON'T MOVE.
DON'T MOVE.
(beeping stops) THERE'S SOMETHING IN THE STAIRWELL.
THERE'S SOMETHING AROUND.
WHAT WAS THE DEAL? CAN YOU TELL ME IN THIS LITTLE RED LIGHT? WHAT THE (bleep) WAS THAT? (beeping) SHH! (Zak) DO IT AGAIN.
DO IT! COME ON! COME AND GET US! RIGHT NOW, WE ARE SETTING UP AN EXPERIMEN WHERE ALL THREE OF US ARE GONNA GO BY OURSELVES ON EACH FLOOR.
AND LUCKILY FOR AARON, WHERE HE'S GOING BY HIMSELF IS IN BETWEEN THE THIRD AND THE SECOND FLOOR, IN THE STAIRWELL WHERE THE BIG GUY GOT HIT IN HIS CHES BY SOME DARK ENERGY.
SOMETHING HAD HIT ME AND WENT RIGHT THROUGH.
GO UP THERE, AARON.
GO UP TO YOUR SPOT.
TRY AND DRAW OU WHATEVER WAS JUST COMING INTO CONTACT WITH YOU IN THE STAIRCASE.
(Aaron) ALL RIGHT.
TRY AND GET ATTACKED, AARON.
NICK, YOU'RE GOING BY YOURSELF TO DOWNSTAIRS HERE IN THE BASEMENT.
THIS IS GONNA BE CRAZY.
HERE WE GO.
WE'RE ALL GONNA USE PROVOCATION HERE.
THIS COULD GET VERY DANGEROUS.
GOOD LUCK.
(Zak) WHILE NICK STAYS HERE IN THE BOILER ROOM AND AARON GOES TO THE THIRD FLOOR STAIRWELL, I'M HEADING TO THE SECOND LEVEL, WHERE A LOCAL METEOROLOGIST, WHO IS ALSO A SKEPTIC, WAS VIOLENTLY ATTACKED BY AN UNSEEN FORCE.
AND ON TOP OF USING OUR NIGHT VISION CAMERAS, NICK WILL HAVE A THERMAL IMAGING CAMERA COVERING HIS AREA, AARON WILL HAVE A FULL-SPECTRUM CAMERA SHOOTING HIS, AND I'LL BE CONDUCTING AN EXPERIMEN BY MONITORING TWO BATTERIES TO SEE IF ANY SPIRITS USE THEIR ENERGY TO MANIFEST THEMSELVES.
HERE I AM IN THE STAIRWELL, ALL BY MYSELF, WHERE THE GUY GOT ATTACKED.
I HEARD THIS PLACE IS SO MESSED UP THAT PEOPLE WOULD LEAVE AND NOT RETURN.
IS THAT TRUE? YOU TRY TO HURT PEOPLE WHEN THEY LEAST EXPECT IT? CAN YOU GO UPSTAIRS AND HIT ZAK OR HIT AARON? SO THIS WHERE YOU ATTACKED THE MAN THAT WE SPOKE TO TODAY.
YOU LIKE TO BULLY THE LIVING? IS THAT WHAT YOU LIKE TO DO? WELL, COME ON.
LET'S SEE IT.
I GOT MY BACK TURNED TO YOU.
I'M ALONE.
I'M-A LAY THIS MEL METER RIGHT DOWN HERE.
(beeping) YOU CAN SEE HOW I KEEP TOUCHING IT, IT'S GOING OFF.
ANYWHERE AROUND IT-- NOTHING.
EARLIER, YOU WERE TOUCHING MY ARM AND YOU WERE MAKING MY BODY FEEL CHILLS.
CAN YOU COME OVER AND SIT NEXT TO ME RIGHT HERE? YOU'RE WELCOME TO STAND NEXT TO ME, OR EITHER GO DOWNSTAIRS AND TALK TO NICK AND ZAK.
(Nick) CAN SOMEONE COME OVER TO ME AND DO SOMETHIN'? I'M SICK OF MESSING AROUND.
COME ON DOWN HERE.
THE (bleep)? SOMETHING JUST SCRATCHED ME.
(bleep).
I DON'T HAVE ANY FLASHLIGHT.
ALMOST IMMEDIATELY AFTER NICK FEELS SOMETHING SCRATCH HIM, HIS DIGITAL RECORDER CAPTURES THIS RELEVAN AND VIOLENT E.
V.
P.
(Nick) SOMETHING JUST SCRATCHED ME.
THE (bleep)? I DON'T HAVE ANY FLASHLIGHT.
COME HERE.
I'M STANDING UP IN FRONT OF YOU.
I CANNOT SEE (bleep) RIGHT NOW.
SO IF WANNA DO SOMETHING, LET'S DO THIS.
COME FIGHT ME IN THE DARK.
I THINK THERE'S DEFINITELY SOMETHING IN HERE WITH ME RIGHT NOW.
I'M TAKING THE RECORDER.
YOU WANNA COME AND TALK TO ME? YOU WANNA DO MORE THAN THAT? THROW ME OUT OF THIS CHAIR.
SHOW ME YOUR POWER.
THAT'S RIGHT, COME AND TOUCH ME OVER HERE.
I CAN FEEL YA.
YOU RIGHT HERE? YOU TRYING TO GRAB MY LEG? GO AHEAD.
GRAB IT AND PULL ME OUT OF THIS CHAIR.
I CAN FEEL SOMETHING ON MY LEG RIGHT NOW.
THERE'S SOMETHING AROUND MY (bleep) LEG.
(Zak) AT THIS EXACT MOMENT, MY DIGITAL RECORDER CAPTURES AN UNEXPLAINED VOICE THAT APPEARS TO BE ARGUING WITH THE OTHER SPIRI THAT'S TOUCHING MY LEG.
THERE'S SOMETHING AROUND MY (bleep) LEG.
WHAT'S INTERESTING IS THAT WHILE THERE IS NO VISUAL DRAINAGE ON THE BATTERY EXPERIMEN WHEN THE E.
V.
P.
IS CAPTURED, I FEEL WHAT'S TYPICAL ON MY LEG OF WHEN SPIRITS DRAW THEIR ENERGY FROM THE LIVING.
AND IN THIS CASE, DID THE SPIRIT CHOOSE MY ENERGY OVER THE BATTERIES' TO SPEAK TO ANOTHER? I FEEL THIS CLOUD OF ELECTRICITY.
IT FEELS REALLY WEIRD RIGHT HERE.
ARE YOU TOUCHING MY LEG RIGHT NOW? IF ANY OF THOSE SPIRITS UP THERE GET HUNGRY, HERE'S THE FRESH MEAT.
LET'S COME AND GET IT.
I'M H--I'M HAVING A HARD TIME BREATHING.
IT JUST KEEPS FEELING LIKE SOMETHING IS ATTACKING ME.
YEAH, I HAVE CHILLS GOING UP AND DOWN MY BODY RIGHT NOW.
YOU TRYING TO GRAB MY LEG? (loud bang) (bleep)! WE'RE DEEP IN ILLINOIS FARMLAND AT ASHMORE ESTATES.
NICK, AARON, AND I ARE STATIONED ON DIFFERENT FLOORS OF THIS FORMER PSYCHIATRIC HOSPITAL.
JUST AFTER NICK'S HAND IS SCRATCHED, I EXPERIENCE A STRANGE SENSATION IN MY LEG.
AARON, MEANWHILE, BEGINS STEADILY PROVOKING THE SPIRITS IN HOPES OF MAKING CONTACT HIMSELF.
HERE'S THE FRESH MEAT.
LET'S COME AND GET IT.
CAN YOU WALK UP AND DOWN THESE STAIRS AND COME UP FROM DOWN THERE AND COME UP HERE? I GOT SOMETHING TO TELL YA.
(whistles) (singsongy) COME HERE.
(whistles) (whistles) (singsongy) COME HERE.
(whistles) OKAY, I HAVE CHILLS GOING UP AND DOWN MY BODY RIGHT NOW.
RIGHT--MY WHOLE ARM HERE IS ALL FULL OF CHILLS.
AND THE VIBE JUST CHANGED IN THIS ROOM.
HEY, I'LL COME FIND YOU.
YOU WANNA (bleep) GAMES? LET'S DO THIS.
I'M STARTING TO GET WEIRD TUNNEL VISION.
SIT DOWN.
SIT AND TALK.
(Nick) WHERE YOU AT? COME ON! I'M WALKING INTO THIS BACK ROOM OVER HERE.
JUST THE BUILDING, IT--IT'S JUST-- (clatter) (gasps) WHAT THE (bleep)? DIFFERENT.
(loud bang) (bleep)! WHAT THE (bleep)? DIFFERENT.
DIFFERENT.
I HEARD A LOUD BANGING NOISE COME FROM INSIDE OF THIS (bleep) ROOM RIGHT HERE.
(opens door) SOMETHING DROPPED OFF OF ONE OF THESE SHELVES.
DO IT AGAIN, SO THIS TIME I CAN SEE IT.
(Nick) I'M H--I'M HAVING A HARD TIME BREATHING.
IT JUST KEEPS FEELING LIKE SOMETHING IS ATTACKING ME, BUT I CAN'T SEE IT.
(Zak) IF THERE'S ANY OTHER SPIRITS HERE, I CAN FEEL-- NOW VERY UNCOMFORTABLE.
IF YOU'RE NEXT TO ME, DRAINING MY ENERGY, CAN YOU PLEASE STEP ON THIS SIDE AND LET ME KNOW BY MAKING THAT LIGHT GO OFF? (Nick) ARE YOU DOWN HERE HARMING PEOPLE WHEN THEY WALK INTO YOUR AREA? YOU HATE THE FACT THAT GUYS ARE COMING IN HERE AND TALKING (bleep) TO YOU? (Zak) RIGHT NOW, NICK IS CAPTURING WHAT APPEARS TO BE A DIRECT RESPONSE TO HIS PRESENCE DOWN HERE IN THE BOILER ROOM.
YOU HATE THE FACT THAT GUYS ARE COMING IN HERE AND TALKING (bleep) TO YOU? (Zak) WHATEVER WAS THROWN IN THIS ROOM, I WANT YOU TO DO IT AGAIN.
I WANT YOU TO DO IT RIGHT NOW, AND THIS TIME, THROW I AT MY (bleep) HEAD.
(Zak) ALTHOUGH NOTHING GETS THROWN AT ME, AT THIS EXACT MOMENT, I'M CAPTURING A VERY THREATENING RESPONSE TO MY TAUNTS.
I WANT YOU TO DO IT RIGHT NOW, AND THIS TIME, THROW I AT MY (bleep) HEAD.
BECAUSE WE ARE ALL EXPERIENCING ACTIVITY, WE DECIDE TO REGROUP AND ARM OURSELVES WITH THE THERMAL IMAGING CAMERA AS WELL AS THE INFRARED DIGITAL STILL CAMERA, AND THEN RETURN TO FURTHER INVESTIGATE EACH OF OUR SPLIT-UP LOCATIONS.
WE SCANNED THE BOILER ROOM AS WELL AS THE THIRD FLOOR STAIRWELL, BUT IT ISN'T UNTIL WE REACH THE SECOND LEVEL, WHERE I WAS STATIONED, THAT WE CAPTURE SOMETHING COMPLETELY SHOCKING.
(camera shutter clicking) (Zak) WHOA.
WE'VE GOT, LIKE, A SHADOW ON HERE.
AARON, WHERE ARE YOU? (Aaron) DOWN HERE.
IF I WERE TO CAST A SHADOW FROM THE LINE OF YOUR SHOOTING ME, WITH THE ONLY LIGHT SOURCE BEHIND ME IS ON AARON'S CAMERA, IT WOULD BE PROJECTING MY SHADOW UP IN THIS REGION OVER HERE.
ARE YOU GETTING ALL THIS? YEAH.
AND, NICK, YOU WERE UP THERE WITH THE THERMAL IMAGING CAMERA.
(Nick) YEP.
THERMAL IMAGING CAMERA DOES NOT HAVE A LIGHT SOURCE.
AND I JUST SAW A SHADOW BEHIND THIS WALL, IN COMPARISON TO WHERE YOU ARE WITH YOUR LIGHT SOURCE, ON THIS BEAM RIGHT HERE IN FRONT OF MY CAMERA.
IT WAS GONE IN THE SECOND PICTURE.
COME HERE AND LOOK AT THIS, NICK.
YEAH.
YOU CAN EVEN SEE IT WALK IN RIGHT HERE.
YEP.
IT'S, LIKE, WALKING IN FROM OVER THERE.
(speaks indistinctly) SO THAT'S COMING OU OF THAT ROOM.
YEAH.
IT'S COMING OU OF THIS ROOM RIGHT-- WAIT.
THIS IS THE (bleep) ROOM WHERE HE WAS ATTACKED.
RIGHT HERE.
HE SAT RIGHT THERE IN FRONT OF THAT ROOM.
THIS IS ALSO THE ROOM WHERE I HEARD THAT UNEXPLAINED LOUD BANG WHEN I WAS BY MYSELF RIGHT HERE.
THIS IS THE ROOM WHERE A HUGE LOUD BANG CAME FROM.
AND THE SHADOW FIGURE COMES OUT HERE, OUT HERE, OUT HERE, AND THEN IT JUST DISAPPEARED.
YEP.
SO THAT'S A PRETTY COOL (bleep) PICTURE.
THAT'S A PRETTY COOL (bleep) PICTURE.
100 YEARS OF DEATH, DISEASE, AND MENTAL ILLNESS HAVE POISONED THIS RURAL PATCH OF LAND.
(screaming) THE PARANORMAL ENERGY AT ASHMORE ESTATES HAS TURNED DEMONIC, ATTACHING ITSELF TO THE UNSUSPECTING AND OPPRESSING THEIR SOULS.
(exhales deeply) EVERY NIGHT, SCREAMING IN HIS SLEEP.
TONIGHT, WE FEL THESE DARK FORCES.
WHAT THE (bleep) WAS THAT? SOMETHING JUST SCRATCHED ME.
(loud bang) (bleep)! TIME WILL TELL WHOA.
IF THEY'LL FOLLOW US HOME.
ZAK, YOU ALL RIGH OVER THERE, MAN?
I HAD BEEN PICKED UP AND PUSHED DOWN.
I WANTED TO ACTUALLY TAKE THAT SHOVEL AND SMASH SOMEBODY IN THE HEAD WITH IT.
YOU GUYS FEEL THAT? (Aaron) IT'S CREEPY IN THERE.
IT'S WEIRD IN THERE, MAN.
(Zak) WE'RE ALL GONNA USE PROVOCATION (Nick) ZAK, YOU ALL RIGH OVER THERE, MAN? (Aaron whistles) (singsongy) COME HERE.
(whistles) (loud bang) (bleep)! (Nick) THERE'S SOMETHING COMING AT YOU? WHAT THE (bleep) IS THA COMING DOWN THE LADDER? THIS IS IT'S NO A PLEASANT PLACE TO BE.
MY NAME IS ZAK BAGANS.
I NEVER BELIEVED IN GHOSTS UNTIL I CAME FACE-TO-FACE WITH ONE.
(gasps) YOU WANTED US.
YOU GOT US.
SO I SET OUT ON A QUES TO CAPTURE WHAT I ONCE SAW ONTO VIDEO.
(Nick) GO, GO, GO! WITH NO BIG CAMERA CREWS FOLLOWING US AROUND, I AM JOINED ONLY BY MY FELLOW INVESTIGATOR NICK GROFF AND OUR EQUIPMENT TECH AARON GOODWIN.
THE THREE OF US WILL TRAVEL TO SOME OF THE MOST HIGHLY ACTIVE PARANORMAL LOCATIONS, WHERE WE WILL SPEND AN ENTIRE NIGH BEING LOCKED DOWN FROM DUSK UNTIL DAWN.
YOU HAVE REACHED YOUR FINAL DESTINATION-- HELL.
RAW STOP! EXTREME (Nick shouts indistinctly) (bleep)! (Zak) STOP! STOP RUNNING! AAH! (bleep)! THESE ARE OUR GHOST ADVENTURES.
(Zak) IS THIS IT? (Nick) LOOKS LIKE IT.
IT'S THE ONLY DECREPIT BUILDING IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE.
HAS TO BE IT.
WE'RE PULLING UP ON OUR NEXT LOCKDOWN-- ASHMORE ESTATES.
SUPPOSEDLY INFESTED BY SPIRITS-- EVIL, EVIL, DEMONIC ENTITIES.
THIS PLACE LOOKS (bleep) UP.
WHAT IS THAT NEAR THE TREE? WHAT THE (bleep)? IS IT A STATUE OR IS HE REAL? DUDE, KEEP GOING.
KEEP GOING.
IS HE STARING AT US? YES.
(Aaron) NICE.
HE'S STARING AT US.
THE COW'S ALL CHAINED UP.
LOOK.
(Aaron groans) WHERE ARE WE? (Zak) WE'RE ZAK, NICK, AND AARON.
HOW YOU DOING? BEEN WAITING FOR YOU GUYS.
(chuckles) OH.
OOH.
HOW LONG YOU BEEN STANDING OUT THERE WAITING? (laughs) I CAN STAND A LONG TIME.
YOU GUYS WANNA GET OU OF THE CAR? IN A HORROR MOVIE, THIS IS WHERE WE LOCK THE CAR (Aaron and Zak laugh) AND DON'T GET OUT.
(laughs) (Zak) THIS IS ASHMORE ESTATES? THIS IS IT.
THIS IS WEIRD.
A COW.
YES, IT'S A COW.
OKAY.
YOU'RE NOT FROM AROUND THESE PARTS, HUH? NO, UH DUDE, DOES THE COW ALWAYS JUS GET TIED UP TO THE TREE THERE? WELL, IT'S FREE FOOD.
(dogs bark) YOU HAVE HORSES, TOO.
WE HAVE HORSES.
DO YOU HAVE GHOSTS? I THINK YOU GUYS ARE GONNA HAVE FUN.
THAT GUY (sighs) HE'S KINDA CREEPING ME OUT.
(chuckles) ALL RIGHT, LET'S TAKE A CHANCE.
(Zak) SCOTT? YEAH? OH.
WHAT'S THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN? WELL OKAY.
WITH LONG STRETCHES OF FARMLAND AND A POPULATION UNDER 800, ASHMORE, ILLINOIS, IS A PICTURE OF THE RURAL MIDWEST.
BUT WITHIN THESE TOWN LIMITS, ONE BUILDING RISES FROM THE GROUND LIKE A SORE, INFECTED THUMB.
ASHMORE ESTATES IS SAID TO BE THE SITE OF DEMONIC ACTIVITY, DATING BACK NEARLY 150 YEARS.
IN 1870, THESE GROUNDS WERE HOME TO THE COLES COUNTY ALMSHOUSE, A POOR FARM THAT HOUSED AND PUT TO WORK THE OUTCASTS OF THE SURROUNDING COMMUNITIES.
(man) YES, IT WAS WHAT WAS CALLED AN ALMSHOUSE, WHICH BASICALLY HOUSED THE POOR AND INDIGENT PEOPLE WITHOUT FAMILIES, ALCOHOLICS, ELDERLY PEOPLE WHO COULDN' TAKE CARE OF THEMSELVES.
SO A LOT OF PEOPLE WOULD'VE DIED IN THIS BUILDING BECAUSE THEY SPEN THE END PAR OF THEIR LIFE HERE.
THE GROUNDS REMAINED A POOR FARM UNTIL 1959, WHEN THE COUNTY SOLD THE LAND TO A GROUP OF INVESTORS WHO TURNED THE BUILDING INTO A PRIVATE PSYCHIATRIC HOSPITAL.
THEY HOUSED ALL KINDS OF DIFFERENT PATIENTS HERE.
BASICALLY, THERE WAS AN OVERFLOW FROM THE STATE MENTAL INSTITUTION, AND THEY WOULD HOUSE THE, UM, MOST SEVERE PATIENTS ON THE THIRD FLOOR.
(woman screaming) (man) NO, NO, NO! (sobs) FORMER STAFF MEMBERS WOULD TALK ABOU HOW THERE WERE PATIENTS WHO THEY DESCRIBED AS BEING POSSESSED WHO HAD UNNATURAL STRENGTH.
ONE BROKE HER RESTRAINTS THAT RESTRAINED HER TO THE GURNEY.
ARE YOU SERIOUS? SOME WERE PRETTY, UH, VIOLENT.
(laughing) OVER THE COURSE OF THE HISTORY OF THIS BUILDING, AT LEAST A HUNDRED PEOPLE DIED HERE BETWEEN WHEN IT WAS A POOR FARM TO WHEN IT WAS A PSYCHIATRIC FACILITY, (Zak) THE DEATHS, THE DISEASE, THE PSYCHOSES.
(window creaks) ALL CONTRIBUTING FACTORS IN THE SLEW OF HAUNTINGS AT ASHMORE ESTATES SINCE ITS CLOSING IN 1986.
BUT PERHAPS NONE WAS MORE CHILLING THAN WHAT HAPPENED TO A LOCAL WEATHERMAN IN 2009.
I UNDERSTAND THAT YOU SPEN A COUPLE NIGHTS HERE YES.
AS PART OF A SPECIAL FOR YOUR NEWS STATION.
RIGHT? RIGHT.
WE WERE STREAMING ON THE WEB.
WE WERE DOING A STORY ABOUT ASHMORE ESTATES, AND A GROUP PEOPLE WHO WERE SKEPTICS AND A GROUP OF PEOPLE WHO WERE BELIEVERS.
AND IN THOSE TWO GROUPS, YOU YOURSELF ARE A SKEPTIC.
ABSOLUTELY.
I WAS A SKEPTIC.
I-I BELIEVED IN A SPIRIT REALM BUT I DID NOT BELIEVE IN GHOSTS AND I DID NOT BELIEVE THIS PLACE WAS HAUNTED.
I JUST WANT YOU TO TELL ME WORD FOR WORD WHAT IN THE HELL HAPPENED TO YOU.
OKAY.
I DON'T KNOW.
THAT'S THE BEST-- YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT? I DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED? IF I WAS ATTACKED OR NOT.
NO, I DON'T--I DON'T HAVE ANY RECOLLECTION AT ALL.
THE PEOPLE WHO WERE BELIEVERS ACTUALLY DID WITNESS, AND THEY'RE THE ONES WHO I GUESS YOU CAN RESCUED ME FROM A REALLY BIZARRE HAPPENING THAT, UH, OCCURRED TO ME.
ARE YOU NERVOUS TO WALK IN THIS BUILDING RIGHT NOW? UM, A LITTLE.
YES.
IF YOU GET UNCOMFORTABLE AT ANY TIME GOING BACK IN HERE, KEVIN, LET ME KNOW.
(Kevin) OCTOBER THE 30th-- A RAINY, DAMP, CHILLY NIGHT.
THIS WAS ABOUT 4:30 IN THE MORNING.
(Zak) IN THE MORNING? IT WAS RIGHT UP HERE AT THIS NURSES' STATION.
THIS IS WHERE WE HAD OUR EQUIPMENT SET UP TO STREAM LIVE ON THE WEB.
I WAS HERE.
THE NEXT THING I KNOW, I WAS UP AND LYING DOWN LIKE THIS WITH MY SHOULDER HERE.
PEOPLE CROWDED AROUND ME.
"KEVIN, WAKE UP.
KEVIN ARE YOU OKAY?" RIGHT HERE ON THIS FLOOR WITH MY SHOULDER BROKEN.
IF YOU WERE SITTING IN THE CHAIR AND YOU WERE TO JUST FAIN FROM SOMETHING-- OKAY, LET'S SAY IT'S NOT RELATED TO PARANORMAL.
YES.
YOU WOULD FALL THIS WAY OR FALL OVER HERE.
RIGHT.
YOU WERE WAY IN THIS DIRECTION.
THAT'S CORRECT.
MAYBE SOME REALLY DEMONIC FORCE PICKED YOUR ASS UP AND SLAMMED YOU ON THE GROUND.
IT'S POSSIBLE BECAUSE THE IMPACT WAS HERE ON MY SHOULDER.
I DIDN'T HIT MY HEAD.
IT WAS RIGHT HERE, AS IF I HAD BEEN PICKED UP AND PUSHED DOWN.
AFTER THIS HAPPENED, DID YOU HAVE ANYTHING HAPPEN-- ANYTHING WEIRD HAPPEN TO YOU AT YOUR HOUSE? I DID HAVE SOME SCARY DREAMS, AND I WASN'T MYSELF.
I WAS NOT MYSELF FOR ABOU THREE WEEKS AFTERWARDS.
(sighs) DID YOU FEEL AGGRESSION? WERE YOU FEELING ANGRY AT-- AGI--AGITATION.
AGITATION AND--AND, UM, JUST NOT MYSELF.
THAT'S A STATE OF OPPRESSION.
THAT'S A DEMONIC ATTACK.
WHEN YOU HAVE SOMETHING LIKE THAT HAPPEN TO YOU, IT'D GOTTEN INSIDE OF YOU.
YEAH.
YOU'RE FEELING THAT ENERGY.
IT DOESN'T LIKE YOU FOR SOME REASON.
I BELIEVE THAT.
AND I COULD SEE WHY IT'S VERY UNCOMFORTABLE YEAH.
FOR YOU TO COME BACK TO THIS SPOT RIGHT NOW.
YEAH, I--THIS IS YEAH, THIS IS IT'S NOT A PLEASANT PLACE TO BE.
WE DON'T WANT YOU TO BE UNCOMFORTABLE ANYMORE, AND WE WANT YOU TO GO AHEAD AND--AND GET OUT OF THIS AREA.
THANK YOU.
THANK YOU.
THANK YOU.
(Kevin exhales deeply) (Zak) YOU CAN CRITICIZE.
YOU CAN LOOK AT THIS HOWEVER YOU WANT.
TO SEE THESE PEOPLE JUST TREMBLE, JUST SCARED IT PISSES ME OFF.
I WAS BULLIED WHEN I WAS A KID, AND I HATE WHEN OTHER PEOPLE ARE BULLIED.
AND TO HEAR THE PAIN, TO HEAR THE FRIGH IN THIS GUY'S VOICE, IT--THIS IS WHEN IT MAKES WHAT WE DO MEANINGFUL, 'CAUSE WE NEED TO GET ANSWERS FOR HIM.
WELL, IT'S SCARY, MAN, 'CAUSE WE--ALL THREE OF US HAVE HAD THAT.
MOON RIVER BREWERY, WHERE I BLACKED OUT.
YOU AT POVEGLIA, WHERE YOU BLACKED OUT.
AARON--MACKEY'S.
BUT ASIDE FROM SOME PHYSICAL LITTLE SCARS AND SCRATCHES, WE'VE NEVER BEEN SERIOUSLY PHYSICALLY INJURED.
BUT, UM-- NOT YET.
I COULD FEEL--I COULD FEEL THE EMOTIONS.
YEAH.
HE WAS TREMBLING.
YOU KNOW, IT JUST-- WHEN--WHEN YOU GUYS WALKED AWAY, I WALKED OVER 'CAUSE I SAW HIM.
HE HAD HIS HANDS ON HIS HEAD LIKE HE WAS GONNA BREAK DOWN.
OH, HE--I COULD HEAR HIM.
I GOT--I WAS SHOOTING HIM THROUGH THE WINDOW, AND HE WAS SITTING THERE LIKE SHAKEN UP.
LIKE HE WAS LOSING HIMSELF.
OH, YEAH.
DUDE, I COULD HEAR HIM ON MY MIKE, AND HE WAS JUST LIKE (sighs) (Zak) COME ON.
COME ON.
YEAH, I KNOW.
I WAS FILMING IT.
HE WAS ALREADY OFF.
YEAH, I DON'T KNOW WHERE HE WENT.
HE WALKED OFF.
(Zak) KEVIN? LOOK, UH, D-DEMONIC, UH, POSSESSION IS A VERY SCARY THING TO DEAL WITH.
I DON'T WANT THA TO BE UNCOMFORTABLE FOR YOU AND--AND TRY AND GET THIS OUT OF YOUR LIFE.
YEAH.
BUT AT THE SAME TIME, WE'RE JUST TRYING TO-- WE'RE TRYING TO GET YOU ANSWERS TO HELP YOU OUT.
I'M--I'M GLAD TO DO THIS.
IT ACTUALLY IS KIND OF CLEANSING TO BE ABLE TO DO THAT.
WELL, GOOD.
AND THAT'S WHA WE'RE HERE FOR.
YEP.
ALL RIGHT? OKAY.
AND WE'RE SORRY FOR WHAT YOU WENT THROUGH, BUT NOW IT'S TIME FOR US TO GO TO WORK.
YEAH.
ALL RIGHT? YEAH.
GOOD LUCK.
I WANTED TO ACTUALLY TAKE THAT SHOVEL AND SMASH SOMEBODY IN THE HEAD WITH IT.
ARE YOU UNCOMFORTABLE BEING IN HERE? I DON'T WAN TO BE IN HERE, NO.
YOU GUYS FEEL THAT? (Aaron) IT'S CREEPY IN THERE.
IT'S WEIRD IN THERE, MAN.
HE WOULD SCREAM OUT THINGS IN HIS SLEEP.
I ALWAYS WONDERED IF HE WAS DOING SOMETHING TO MOM OR SOMETHING.
(Scott) ANDREW WHELAN.
DAVID COMMINGS.
JOHN L.
COKE.
BETTY SCOTT.
JOHN STEVENS.
SCOTT KELLEY, THE CURRENT PROPRIETOR OF ASHMORE ESTATES, PAYS HIS RESPECTS TO THE POOR, STRICKEN SOULS WHO PERISHED ON ITS GROUNDS.
MARY DACNON.
ZEKE PHILIPS.
OVER THE YEARS, HE HAS OPENED THE BUILDING TO INVESTIGATORS SEARCHING FOR ANSWERS TO THE FRIGHTENING OCCURRENCES THAT TAKE PLACE INSIDE.
NOW AS A CORRECTIONAL OFFICER, YOU ARE HIGHLY TRAINED TO USE YOUR SENSES VERY WELL.
PRETTY MUCH.
I WOULD-- I WOULD HAVE TO AGREE WITH THAT.
WHAT HAVE YOU EXPERIENCED OVER AT ASHMORE ESTATES? IT WAS ME AND ANOTHER CORRECTIONAL OFFICER.
WE ENTERED THE BUILDING.
IT WAS IN HORRIBLE CONDITIONS, A LOT OF VANDALISM.
WE HAD WALKED INTO THE BOILER ROOM.
WE WERE FILMING TO SEE WHAT TYPE OF CONDITION THE BUILDING WAS IN.
AS I SWUNG THE CAMERA AROUND, I ACTUALLY CAUGHT AN APPARITION COMING OUT OF A CORRIDOR.
AN APPARITION OF WHO WE NOW KNOW IS JOE BLOXOM.
JOE BLOXOM WAS A RESIDENT OF THE POOR FARM WHO WAS SIDESWIPED BY A TRAIN AND LATER DIED ON THESE GROUNDS.
JOSEPH OLIVER BLOXOM.
BUT BLOXOM ISN' THE ONLY SPIRI WHO HAS LINGERED HERE AFTER A VIOLENT DEATH.
7 YEAR OLD ELVA SKINNER FELL VICTIM TO SUBSTANDARD CONDITIONS AT THE FARM.
FEBRUARY OF 1880, THERE WAS ACTUALLY A FIRE AT ASHMORE ESTATES.
(screaming) SHE PERISHED IN THE FIRE.
IT WAS DOCUMENTED IN THE CENSUS IN 1880 WOW.
UM, THAT SHE EXPIRED THERE.
I'M TELLING YA, UPSTAIRS YOU'LL CAPTURE-- I HAVE ALL HER AUDIO.
(Juli speaks indistinctly) AND IT'S NOT ON THE-- IT'S DOWN HERE.
(Juli speaks indistinctly) AND IT'S NOT ON THE-- IT'S DOWN HERE.
(birds chirping) THIS IS MID-ILLINOIS GHOST SOCIETY.
HOW YOU GUYS DOIN'? GOOD.
HOW ARE YOU? WE JUST HEARD OF-- OF A METEOROLOGIS WHO INVESTIGATED THIS PLACE, AND THEN FOR THREE WEEKS AFTER THA FEELS AGGRESSION AND IRRITABILITY.
YOU'RE SMILING AS I SAY THIS AND LOOKING AT HIM.
(man) YES.
AND I'M NOT--I'M NOT GONNA SAY NOTHING.
I'M GONNA ASK YOU RIGHT NOW.
WHY, WHEN I WAS SAYING WHA HAPPENED TO THE METEOROLOGIST, WERE YOU LOOKING AT HIM WITH A GRIN? BECAUSE HE HAS REFUSED TO EVER COME BACK HERE AND INVESTIGATE WITH US.
HE'S NEVER BEEN BACK WITH US WHEN WE'VE COME HERE.
CAN I BORROW YOU FOR A SECOND? YES, YOU CAN.
AND WE'RE GONNA GO INSIDE.
UM, ARE YOU G--YOU-- I'LL BE ALL RIGHT.
BE ALL RIGHT? (woman) ARE YOU SURE? YEAH, I'M SURE.
(Zak) YOU DON'T LIKE BEING IN HERE? IT JUST BRINGS BACK (sighs deeply) WEIRD MEMORIES.
I BET.
VERY STRANGE.
FOR THE SECOND TIME TODAY, WE'RE BRINGING A VICTIM BACK INSIDE THE ESTATES TO THE SCENE OF HIS ATTACK.
THESE ARE PEOPLE WHO SEEK ANSWERS FOR THE UNEXPLAINED MISERY THAT HAS CLOUDED THEIR SOULS.
WE BELIEVE THAT SHARING THESE EXPERIENCES IS THE ONLY ROAD TO CLOSURE.
(Zak) THIS IS IT? (Bret) THE VERY STAIRS.
TALKED ME THROUGH WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU, BRET.
WE WERE HAVING A HAUNTED HOUSE HERE ONE NIGHT, AND I WAS ABOUT RIGHT HERE, AND, YOU KNOW, I HAD TO STOP.
SOMETHING HAD HIT ME AND WENT RIGHT THROUGH, AND I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT IT WAS.
MY JOB WAS TO CARRY A SHOVEL AROUND WITH ME AND BANG ON SOME SIDING THAT THEY HAD HANGING DOWN FROM THE CEILING.
I ACTUALLY FELT LIKE I WAS LIVING THE PART.
I WANTED TO ACTUALLY TAKE THAT SHOVEL AND SMASH SOMEBODY IN THE HEAD WITH IT.
SMASH WHOSE HEADS? PEOPLE WALKING THROUGH THE LINE.
(smack, thud) HEARING ABOU BRET'S VIOLENT THOUGHTS MAKES US THINK BACK TO OUR OWN DARK IMPULSES AT ANOTHER HELLISH LOCATION.
(Zak) WHEN WE WERE IN THE BASEMENT, YOU AND I STARTED FEELING THE SAME THINGS.
YEAH, DREAD AND SORROW AND WANTED TO KILL EVERYBODY THAT WAS HERE.
(Aaron) I STARTED GETTING A LITTLE ANGRY.
HE STARTED THROWING THE HOLY WATER, AND ALL I COULD VISUALIZE WAS JUST--WAS BEATING HIM UP.
I WANTED TO KILL HIM.
WHAT HAPPENED AT HOME? SCREAMING IN MY SLEEP.
MY WIFE WOULD--WOULD STICK HER HEAD IN THERE, AND HERE I AM, I'M LEANING UP ON MY ELBOW IN BED, TALKING TO SOMEBODY JUST LIKE WE ARE, BUT THERE'S NOBODY THERE.
WITH WHAT WE'VE BEEN THROUGH, WHAT YOU EXPERIENCED WAS A DEMONIC ATTACK LEADING INTO A STATE OF DEMONIC OPPRESSION.
YEAH.
ARE YOU UNCOMFORTABLE BEING IN HERE RIGHT NOW? I MEAN, I'M--I'M NOT--I DON' WANT TO BE I HERE, NO.
DEALING WITH DEMONS AGAIN, NICK.
WE'RE GONNA BE DEALING WITH DEMONS AGAIN.
(Zak) OUR JOB IS TO COME HERE AND INVESTIGATE CLAIMS OF THE PARANORMAL, TO INTERVIEW PEOPLE TO HELP THEM FIND CLOSURE FOR ATTACKS THAT HAVE HAPPENED TO THEM.
(exhales deeply) (Aaron) FEEL BETTER? YEAH, I GOT MY BREATH.
I'M ALL RIGHT.
(Zak) BUT IT'S THE PAIN THAT YOU'RE GONNA ENDURE THE TWO TO THREE WEEKS AFTERWARDS.
YOU GUYS FEEL THAT? YEAH, IT'S CREEPY IN THERE.
IT'S WEIRD IN THERE, MAN.
YEAH, THERE'S SOMETHING REAL NEGATIVE IN THERE.
UH-HUH.
OFTEN, I THINK TO MYSELF, HERE WE GO AGAIN.
BECAUSE BRET'S STORY WAS VERY POWERFUL, AND WE'RE GETTING READY TO BE LOCKED DOWN IN THIS LOCATION, WE NEED TO TALK TO HIS FAMILY.
(door creaks) HOW YOU DOING, MAN? I KNOW THIS TOPIC MAY SOUND KINDA WEIRD, BUT I WANNA KNOW MORE.
WHAT HAPPENED WHEN HE GOT HOME? HE WOULD SCREAM OUT THINGS IN HIS SLEEP AND HE WOULD CARRY ON CONVERSATIONS-- I MEAN, COMPLETE CONVERSATIONS WITH SOMEONE.
HAS HE DONE THIS BEFORE IN YOUR MARRIAGE? NO.
NEVER.
JUST AFTER THIS HAPPENED TO HIM? YES.
WHAT DID YOU NOTICE? DID YOU NOTICE ANY DIFFERENCE OR CHANGE IN HIM AT ALL? YEAH, I MEAN, IT WAS JUST EVERY NIGHT, SCREAMING IN HIS SLEEP.
I-- YOU COULD HEAR IT, TOO? YEAH.
YEAH.
I'D COME IN THERE, AND I ALWAYS WONDERED IF HE WAS DOING SOMETHING TO MOM OR SOMETHING.
IS THERE ANYTHING THAT NICK, AARON, OR MYSELF CAN DO IN OUR INVESTIGATION TO GIVE YOU GUYS MORE ANSWERS? IT WOULD BE NICE TO KNOW, YOU KNOW, WHAT IT WAS WHO IT WAS.
I DON'T WANT ANYTHING TO GO HOME WITH YOU GUYS, BUT, MAN, I HOPE YOU-- I HOPE YOU GET SOMETHING.
(Zak) YOU GONNA COME OUT AND PLAY WITH US? (static crackling) I'M USING THE SPIRIT BOX RIGHT NOW.
HOW DID YOU DIE? I THINK THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I'VE BEEN ACTUALLY SCARED FOR THE LOCK-IN PROCESS.
HI, SCOTT.
HOW YOU DOING, ZAK? GOOD.
HOW ARE YOU? YOU READY TO DO THIS? WE'RE READY TO DO THIS, MAN.
IT'S A CREEPY NIGHT.
WONDERFUL NIGHT FOR YOU GUYS TO DO THIS.
I GOT A SPECIAL WAY TO LOCK YOU GUYS IN.
(laughing) I'M GONNA--GONNA GET INSIDE.
WE'LL SEE YA IN THE MORNING, SCOTT.
ALL RIGHT.
(drill whirs) I'VE GOT ANOTHER WAY TO LOCK YOU IN, GUYS.
(laughing) ALL RIGHT.
THAT'S COOL.
(drill whirring) (Nick) ALL RIGHT, GUYS.
LET'S GO TO WAR.
SO BECAUSE IN THIS LOCATION A GUY THAT WE SPOKE TO NAMED KEVIN-- THE METEOROLOGIST THAT WORKS FOR A NEWS STATION HERE, IS A SKEPTIC--CAME HERE, GOT ATTACKED WHILE HE WAS BY HIMSELF, WE HAVE ELECTED TO GO BY OURSELVES, ONE ON EACH OF THE THREE FLOORS.
SO, AARON, WHAT EXPERIMEN AM I GONNA BE DOING WHILE I'M BY MYSELF? UM, THE BATTERY TESTER.
YOU'VE SEEN MANY TIMES WHEN A GHOST OR SPIRI WILL COME BY US, OUR BATTERIES WILL DRAIN, OUR AUDIO EQUIPMENT.
SO DIGITAL PROOF.
DIGITAL PROOF THAT, UH, THE BATTERY ITSELF IS DRAINING.
THEY'LL SLOWLY GO DOWN.
HOPEFULLY THEY'RE NOT USING THAT ENERGY TO ATTACK ME.
BUT IN THIS CASE, I REALLY DON'T CARE.
(whispers) I HOPE IT DOES.
SO WHEN NICK'S BY HIMSELF, WHAT EQUIPMENT WILL HE BE USING? (normal voice) NICK WILL BE USING THE THERMAL CAMERA.
UH, WE'VE HAD A LOT OF LUCK WITH THIS.
UH, HALES BAR DAM RIGHT.
AND IT WAS PRETTY AWESOME.
SO THIS WILL BE SHOWING THE HOT AND COLD TEMPERATURE, THAT IF SOMETHING CROSSES OR COMES INTO THE FRAME NEAR NICK, WE WILL CAPTURE IT.
ALL RIGHT, AARON, WHAT IS GONNA BE WATCHING YOU WHEN YOU'RE BY YOURSELF, AND HOPEFULLY WHAT'S AROUND YOU? THE FULL-SPECTRUM CAMERA.
WE CAN'T SEE THE U.
V.
AND THE INFRARED LIGH THAT COMES IN, SO THIS ALLOWS US TO SEE IT.
AND, UH, THIS WILL BE SHOOTING STRAIGHT AT ME, SEEING IF ANYTHING HAPPENS.
SO RIGHT NOW, WE'RE GONNA HEAD OUT.
I'M USING THE MEL METER.
WE'RE GONNA USE THIS DEVICE TO TRY AND PICK UP ON SPIRITUAL ENERGY.
OR IN THIS CASE, A DEMONIC-TYPE ENTITY THAT HAS BEEN KNOWN TO ATTACK PEOPLE SEVERELY.
ALL OF A SUDDEN, BANG! PICKED UP AND PUSHED DOWN.
IF THIS STARTS ALARMING, THAT MEANS THAT SOME TYPE OF ENERGY IS INTERFERING WITH THE ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELD THAT'S BEING GENERATED BY THIS ANTENNA.
AT THAT POINT, I'M GONNA PU THIS DIGITAL RECORDER THAT'S MOUNTED ON A TRIPOD TO MAKE IT JUST CRISP AND CLEAN E.
V.
P.
s AND TRY AND COMMUNICATE WITH THIS SPIRIT.
KEEP YOUR GUARD UP, GUYS.
THIS ISN'T DISNEYLAND.
(Zak) WE'RE HERE TO TALK TO YOU.
(Nick) I CANNOT SEE ANYTHING.
(Aaron) LET ME SHOW HOW DARK IT IS.
IF YOU WANNA COMMUNICATE WITH US, I NEED YOU TO STEP IN FRONT OF ME.
CAN YOU COME TO MY VOICE? PUT YOUR HAND IN MY HAND SO THAT THIS DEVICE WILL ALLOW ME TO KNOW THAT YOU'RE HERE WITH ME? YOU'VE BEEN ATTACKING GUYS, AND WE'RE HERE TO FIND OUT WHY.
I'M GETTING 58 DEGREES.
STILL, NO SIGNIFICANT DROPS OR INCREASES IN TEMPERATURE.
BASE READINGS ON MILLIGALS IS STILL THE 0.
0.
THERE'S BEEN NO SPIKES.
EVERYTHING SEEMS VERY NORMAL AT THIS POINT.
NO WEIRD ENERGIES PICKED UP BY MY BODY.
YOU GUYS? NOTHING.
NOTHING YET.
I'VE BEEN FEELING FINE, ACTUALLY.
(Aaron speaks indistinctly) IT'S WHEN YOU LEAST EXPECT IT.
ABSOLUTELY.
THAT'S WHEN STUFF HAPPENS.
YOU GONNA COME OUT? YOU GONNA COME OU AND PLAY WITH US? (Zak) WE WALK AROUND FOR OVER 45 MINUTES WITHOUT PICKING UP ON ANY ABNORMAL FEELINGS OR DOCUMENTING ANY EVIDENCE ON OUR EQUIPMENT, SO WE DECIDE TO STEP IT UP BY BREAKING OUT A DEVICE THAT HAS PROVEN VERY SUCCESSFUL DURING PREVIOUS INVESTIGATIONS.
(static crackling) USING THE SPIRIT BOX RIGHT NOW.
JUST LISTEN.
LISTEN.
YOU CAN'T HEAR ANYTHING.
(static continues crackling) NOTHING.
ONCE I START ASKING QUESTIONS, YOU'LL START HEARING VOICES.
DO YOU WANNA TALK TO US? I WANT TO COME HERE AND SPEAK TO US, USING THIS.
(Aaron) WHOA! IT SAID "NICK"! DUDE, THAT WAS CLEAR AS DAY.
YEAH, THAT SAID "NICK.
" WHOA! IT SAID "NICK"! DO YOU WANNA TALK TO ME? (static continues crackling) IT IS FREAKY RIGHT NOW, MAN.
WHAT DO YOU WANNA DO TO NICK? WHAT'S YOUR NAME? ADAM? WHAT WAS THAT? IT SAID A NAME.
IT SAID "ADAM," I THINK.
THAT'S WHAT I THOUGH IT SAID.
"ADAM.
" YEAH, IT DID.
WHAT'S YOUR NAME? ADAM? WHAT WAS THAT? IT SAID A NAME.
IT SAID "ADAM," I THINK.
IS YOUR NAME ADAM? "UH-HUH.
" DID YOU HEAR IT? YEAH, I HEARD IT.
IT WAS, "UH-HUH.
" ADAM, WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE? HOW DID YOU DIE? WHOA! IT SOUNDED LIKE A GUY LAUGHED.
YEAH.
(Zak) ARE WE COMMUNICATING WITH THE EVIL SPIRI THAT'S BEEN ATTACKING PEOPLE IN HERE? WHO ELSE WOULD LAUGH IN RESPONSE TO A QUESTION ABOUT HOW THEY DIED? (static continues crackling) HOW DID YOU DIE? WHOA! IT JUST SAID "UPPER.
" (Nick) YEAH.
(Aaron) "UPPER.
" GO! UPPER FLOOR! (Nick) THERE'S SOMETHING COMING AT YOU? WHAT THE (bleep) IS THA COMING DOWN THE LADDER? (Nick) ZAK, YOU ALL RIGH OVER THERE, MAN? WE'RE IN THE FIRST FLOOR CORRIDOR OF THIS FORMER POOR FARM AND PSYCHIATRIC HOSPITAL.
A SPIRIT IDENTIFYING HIMSELF AS ADAM JUST HAD A CHILLING REACTION WHEN ASKED ABOUT HIS DEATH.
(static continues crackling) ADAM, WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE? HOW DID YOU DIE? WHOA! IT SOUNDED LIKE A GUY LAUGHED.
YEAH.
DID YOU JUST LAUGH AT ME? (static continues crackling) LET'S HEAR YOU GROWL.
LET'S HEAR YOUR SCREAMS.
WALK UP THERE A LITTLE BIT, MAN.
WHO'S IN HERE WITH US? I CAN FEEL YOU.
I FEEL DIZZY, MAN.
I DO, TOO.
OHH.
MY EQUILIBRIUM'S THROWING OFF.
DID YOU JUST SAY THAT? (banging) WHOA! WHOA, MAN! DID YOU HEAR THAT? I JUST FELT (bleep) COME THROUGH ME, MAN.
WHOA.
DID YOU JUST SAY THAT? WHOA! WHOA! WHOA! WHOA, MAN! WHO ARE YOU? (static continues crackling) YOU IN HERE? I WANNA KNOW WHO'S ATTACKING THESE GUYS.
WHY DO YOU ATTACK THE LIVING? TALK.
DID YOU HEAR THAT? YEAH, IT WAS LIKE A LITTLE GIRL, MAN, LIKE, SCREAMIN'.
YEAH.
SHE WAS, LIKE, IN PAIN.
(Zak) COULD THIS HAVE BEEN THE RESIDUAL SCREAMS OF ELVA SKINNER, THE 7-YEAR-OLD GIRL WHO PERISHED IN A FIRE HERE IN 1880? (static continues crackling) (Aaron) YOU ALL RIGHT, MAN? NO, I'M JUST I'M STARTING TO GE A BIT, LIKE--I DON'T KNOW.
I FEEL WEIRD, MAN.
ARE YOU DOING SOMETHING TO ME RIGHT NOW? WHY? WHY ARE YOU SO QUIET? IT JUST GOES TO SHOW YOU HOW LEGIT THIS DEVICE IS.
IT'LL GO FOR MINUTES AND MINUTES AND NOT SAY A (bleep) THING UNTIL YOU STAR ASKING IT QUESTIONS.
I WANT YOU TO COME OVER TO US RIGHT NOW.
CAN YOU CHANNEL THROUGH AND TALK TO ONE OF US? "YUP.
" "YUP.
" (Aaron) YEAH.
YEAH.
YOU HEAR THAT? HOW MANY OF YOU ARE AROUND ME RIGHT NOW CAUSING THIS? HOW MANY ARE YOU? ONE? "ONE.
" (Aaron) ONE! IT WAS A MAN.
HOW MANY ARE YOU? ONE? "ONE.
" (Aaron) ONE! AND THAT IS AMAZING.
I JUST GOT THE GOOSEBUMPS, MAN.
OKAY.
(Aaron) WHOA! WHOA! GUYS! (Zak) WHAT? THERE ARE (bleep) LOUD NOISES GOING ON OUT HERE.
WHOA! WHOA! THERE WERE LOUD NOISES DOWN THERE.
DUDE, WHERE'D YOU HEAR IT? WHERE? LOUD BANGING NOISES.
LIKE, PA--UH, PIPES (bleep).
(Zak) LET'S GO.
IT JUST SAID, "HEY, ZAK.
" (Nick) I HEARD "ZAK.
" "THAT'S RIGHT"! IT JUST SAID, "THAT'S RIGHT.
" (Aaron) WHOA, WHOA, WHOA.
IT JUST SAID "UPPER.
" (Nick) YEAH, IT DID.
"UPPER.
" GO! UPPER FLOOR! IT IS AT THIS TIME WE FEEL WE ARE IN DIREC INTELLIGENT COMMUNICATION WITH A SPIRIT OR DARK ENTITY AND ARE BEING GUIDED TO SOMEWHERE ON THE UPPER FLOORS, AS EVERY SINGLE WORD COMING THROUGH THE DEVICE IS RELEVAN TO OUR INTERACTIONS.
(Aaron) BE CAREFUL, MAN.
THIS IS WHERE THE GUY GOT HURT.
I WAS ABOUT RIGHT HERE, AND SOMETHING HAD HIT ME AND WENT RIGHT THROUGH.
(static crackling) WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO TO ME? (static continues crackling) (static stops) (Zak) AS I ENTER THIS UPPER FLOOR HALLWAY, I BEGIN TO FEEL VERY STRANGE.
I START SEEING FLASH IMAGES OF WHEN THIS PLACE WAS IN OPERATION-- THINGS I JUST CAN'T EXPLAIN.
AT THIS POINT, NICK AND AARON ALSO BEGIN TO NOTICE A CHANGE IN ME.
(Nick) ZAK.
YOU ALL RIGH OVER THERE, MAN? COME ON.
LET'S GO.
(thud) (whispers) OW.
YEAH, LET'S GO UP THERE.
(metal ladder rattling) (Zak) OH, (bleep).
(Nick) GUYS.
(Nick) THERE'S ANOTHER LADDER THAT GOES UP TO ANOTHER ATTIC.
DUDE.
(Zak) WHAT? THERE'S SOMETHING MOVING.
(Aaron) THERE'S SOMETHING COMING AT YOU? WHAT THE (bleep) IS THA COMING DOWN THE LADDER? THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING.
THERE WAS SOMETHING, LIKE, RUNNING.
SHH! LISTEN! (clatter) (Nick) WHAT WAS THAT NOISE? AFTER NICK HEARD SOMETHING WALK TOWARDS HIM IN THE ATTIC, YET SAW NOTHING ON HIS CAMERA, WE CAPTURED THESE NOISES, AS IF SOMETHING IS COMING DOWN THE ALUMINUM LADDER TOWARDS US.
(clattering) (Nick) WHAT WAS THAT NOISE? (Aaron) I'M GETTIN' CHILLS BAD RIGHT NOW, YOU GUYS.
(Zak) WHO ARE YOU? IDENTIFY YOURSELF.
SPEAK! (knock) (Nick) YOU HEAR THAT? THERE WAS A KNOCK RIGHT NEAR ME.
GUYS.
WATCH THIS RIGHT HERE.
WATCH THAT--WATCH YOUR BACK.
WHAT MAKES THIS EVEN STRANGER IS THA RIGHT BEFORE NICK HEARS THA UNEXPLAINED KNOCK BEHIND HIM, MY DIGITAL RECORDER CAPTURES A RELEVAN AND INTELLIGENT SPIRIT VOICE THAT APPEARS TO BE TELLING HIM TO DO SOMETHING.
SPEAK! TRY AND GET ATTACKED, AARON.
NICK, YOU'RE GOING BY YOURSELF DOWNSTAIRS HERE IN THE BASEMENT.
THIS IS GONNA BE CRAZY.
(Zak) WE'RE ALL GONNA USE PROVOCATION HERE.
THIS COULD GET VERY DANGEROUS.
GOOD LUCK.
FOR THE PAST HOUR, WE'VE BEEN RECEIVING INTELLIGENT RESPONSES TO OUR QUESTIONS WITH THE AID OF THE SPIRIT BOX.
(static crackling) HOW MANY ARE YOU? ONE? (Nick) "ONE.
" IT JUST SAID "UPPER.
" YEAH.
(Aaron) "UPPER.
" GO! UPPER FLOOR! IT DID.
(Zak) WITH THE ACTIVITY RISING, WE FEEL NOW IS THE PERFECT TIME TO SPLIT UP.
BUT BEFORE WE CAN DO SO, OUR MEL METER, WHICH DETECTS BREAKS IN THE ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELD BEING GENERATED BY ITS ANTENNA THAT SPIRITS CAN DO WHEN MANIFESTING, SUDDENLY PICKS UP ON SOMETHING.
(beeping) WHAT'D YOU--LOOK! (Nick) WHOA! WHOA! HOLY (bleep).
WHAT THE (bleep)? WHY'S IT GOING OFF LIKE THAT? (beeping stops) DUDE, I HAVE THE CHILLS SO BAD RIGHT NOW.
DUDE, I HURT.
(Zak) WHO'S AROUND AARON RIGHT NOW? IF THERE'S SOMEONE AROUND AARON RIGHT NOW, YOU TRYING TO GET TO HIM? WHAT'S WRONG? MY BACK HURT REALLY BAD ALL OF A SUDDEN.
LIKE, MY SPINE.
RIGHT AT THE TOP OF MY SPINE, DUDE.
WHAT AARON IS FEELING MAY BE THE SAME SPIRI THAT THE MEL METER IS NOW DETECTING.
GOT REALLY TIGH RIGHT UP IN HERE, DUDE.
REALLY BAD.
(beeping) (beeping stops) (Nick gasps) WAIT.
BACK UP.
IS THERE SOMEONE IN FRONT? (beeping) IT'S LIGHTING UP, DUDE.
HOLD ON, HOLD ON, HOLD ON.
(beeping stops) CAN YOU COME OVER HERE AND DO THAT AGAIN AND LET ME KNOW? WAS THERE SOMETHING-- WERE YOU TRYING TO COMMUNICATE OR TOUCH ME OR W-WHAT WAS THE DEAL? CAN YOU TELL ME IN THIS LITTLE RED LIGHT? (clatter) (Zak) WHAT THE (bleep) WAS THAT? SHH! (beeping) (gasps) (Nick) DON'T MOVE.
DON'T MOVE.
(beeping stops) THERE'S SOMETHING IN THE STAIRWELL.
THERE'S SOMETHING AROUND.
WHAT WAS THE DEAL? CAN YOU TELL ME IN THIS LITTLE RED LIGHT? WHAT THE (bleep) WAS THAT? (beeping) SHH! (Zak) DO IT AGAIN.
DO IT! COME ON! COME AND GET US! RIGHT NOW, WE ARE SETTING UP AN EXPERIMEN WHERE ALL THREE OF US ARE GONNA GO BY OURSELVES ON EACH FLOOR.
AND LUCKILY FOR AARON, WHERE HE'S GOING BY HIMSELF IS IN BETWEEN THE THIRD AND THE SECOND FLOOR, IN THE STAIRWELL WHERE THE BIG GUY GOT HIT IN HIS CHES BY SOME DARK ENERGY.
SOMETHING HAD HIT ME AND WENT RIGHT THROUGH.
GO UP THERE, AARON.
GO UP TO YOUR SPOT.
TRY AND DRAW OU WHATEVER WAS JUST COMING INTO CONTACT WITH YOU IN THE STAIRCASE.
(Aaron) ALL RIGHT.
TRY AND GET ATTACKED, AARON.
NICK, YOU'RE GOING BY YOURSELF TO DOWNSTAIRS HERE IN THE BASEMENT.
THIS IS GONNA BE CRAZY.
HERE WE GO.
WE'RE ALL GONNA USE PROVOCATION HERE.
THIS COULD GET VERY DANGEROUS.
GOOD LUCK.
(Zak) WHILE NICK STAYS HERE IN THE BOILER ROOM AND AARON GOES TO THE THIRD FLOOR STAIRWELL, I'M HEADING TO THE SECOND LEVEL, WHERE A LOCAL METEOROLOGIST, WHO IS ALSO A SKEPTIC, WAS VIOLENTLY ATTACKED BY AN UNSEEN FORCE.
AND ON TOP OF USING OUR NIGHT VISION CAMERAS, NICK WILL HAVE A THERMAL IMAGING CAMERA COVERING HIS AREA, AARON WILL HAVE A FULL-SPECTRUM CAMERA SHOOTING HIS, AND I'LL BE CONDUCTING AN EXPERIMEN BY MONITORING TWO BATTERIES TO SEE IF ANY SPIRITS USE THEIR ENERGY TO MANIFEST THEMSELVES.
HERE I AM IN THE STAIRWELL, ALL BY MYSELF, WHERE THE GUY GOT ATTACKED.
I HEARD THIS PLACE IS SO MESSED UP THAT PEOPLE WOULD LEAVE AND NOT RETURN.
IS THAT TRUE? YOU TRY TO HURT PEOPLE WHEN THEY LEAST EXPECT IT? CAN YOU GO UPSTAIRS AND HIT ZAK OR HIT AARON? SO THIS WHERE YOU ATTACKED THE MAN THAT WE SPOKE TO TODAY.
YOU LIKE TO BULLY THE LIVING? IS THAT WHAT YOU LIKE TO DO? WELL, COME ON.
LET'S SEE IT.
I GOT MY BACK TURNED TO YOU.
I'M ALONE.
I'M-A LAY THIS MEL METER RIGHT DOWN HERE.
(beeping) YOU CAN SEE HOW I KEEP TOUCHING IT, IT'S GOING OFF.
ANYWHERE AROUND IT-- NOTHING.
EARLIER, YOU WERE TOUCHING MY ARM AND YOU WERE MAKING MY BODY FEEL CHILLS.
CAN YOU COME OVER AND SIT NEXT TO ME RIGHT HERE? YOU'RE WELCOME TO STAND NEXT TO ME, OR EITHER GO DOWNSTAIRS AND TALK TO NICK AND ZAK.
(Nick) CAN SOMEONE COME OVER TO ME AND DO SOMETHIN'? I'M SICK OF MESSING AROUND.
COME ON DOWN HERE.
THE (bleep)? SOMETHING JUST SCRATCHED ME.
(bleep).
I DON'T HAVE ANY FLASHLIGHT.
ALMOST IMMEDIATELY AFTER NICK FEELS SOMETHING SCRATCH HIM, HIS DIGITAL RECORDER CAPTURES THIS RELEVAN AND VIOLENT E.
V.
P.
(Nick) SOMETHING JUST SCRATCHED ME.
THE (bleep)? I DON'T HAVE ANY FLASHLIGHT.
COME HERE.
I'M STANDING UP IN FRONT OF YOU.
I CANNOT SEE (bleep) RIGHT NOW.
SO IF WANNA DO SOMETHING, LET'S DO THIS.
COME FIGHT ME IN THE DARK.
I THINK THERE'S DEFINITELY SOMETHING IN HERE WITH ME RIGHT NOW.
I'M TAKING THE RECORDER.
YOU WANNA COME AND TALK TO ME? YOU WANNA DO MORE THAN THAT? THROW ME OUT OF THIS CHAIR.
SHOW ME YOUR POWER.
THAT'S RIGHT, COME AND TOUCH ME OVER HERE.
I CAN FEEL YA.
YOU RIGHT HERE? YOU TRYING TO GRAB MY LEG? GO AHEAD.
GRAB IT AND PULL ME OUT OF THIS CHAIR.
I CAN FEEL SOMETHING ON MY LEG RIGHT NOW.
THERE'S SOMETHING AROUND MY (bleep) LEG.
(Zak) AT THIS EXACT MOMENT, MY DIGITAL RECORDER CAPTURES AN UNEXPLAINED VOICE THAT APPEARS TO BE ARGUING WITH THE OTHER SPIRI THAT'S TOUCHING MY LEG.
THERE'S SOMETHING AROUND MY (bleep) LEG.
WHAT'S INTERESTING IS THAT WHILE THERE IS NO VISUAL DRAINAGE ON THE BATTERY EXPERIMEN WHEN THE E.
V.
P.
IS CAPTURED, I FEEL WHAT'S TYPICAL ON MY LEG OF WHEN SPIRITS DRAW THEIR ENERGY FROM THE LIVING.
AND IN THIS CASE, DID THE SPIRIT CHOOSE MY ENERGY OVER THE BATTERIES' TO SPEAK TO ANOTHER? I FEEL THIS CLOUD OF ELECTRICITY.
IT FEELS REALLY WEIRD RIGHT HERE.
ARE YOU TOUCHING MY LEG RIGHT NOW? IF ANY OF THOSE SPIRITS UP THERE GET HUNGRY, HERE'S THE FRESH MEAT.
LET'S COME AND GET IT.
I'M H--I'M HAVING A HARD TIME BREATHING.
IT JUST KEEPS FEELING LIKE SOMETHING IS ATTACKING ME.
YEAH, I HAVE CHILLS GOING UP AND DOWN MY BODY RIGHT NOW.
YOU TRYING TO GRAB MY LEG? (loud bang) (bleep)! WE'RE DEEP IN ILLINOIS FARMLAND AT ASHMORE ESTATES.
NICK, AARON, AND I ARE STATIONED ON DIFFERENT FLOORS OF THIS FORMER PSYCHIATRIC HOSPITAL.
JUST AFTER NICK'S HAND IS SCRATCHED, I EXPERIENCE A STRANGE SENSATION IN MY LEG.
AARON, MEANWHILE, BEGINS STEADILY PROVOKING THE SPIRITS IN HOPES OF MAKING CONTACT HIMSELF.
HERE'S THE FRESH MEAT.
LET'S COME AND GET IT.
CAN YOU WALK UP AND DOWN THESE STAIRS AND COME UP FROM DOWN THERE AND COME UP HERE? I GOT SOMETHING TO TELL YA.
(whistles) (singsongy) COME HERE.
(whistles) (whistles) (singsongy) COME HERE.
(whistles) OKAY, I HAVE CHILLS GOING UP AND DOWN MY BODY RIGHT NOW.
RIGHT--MY WHOLE ARM HERE IS ALL FULL OF CHILLS.
AND THE VIBE JUST CHANGED IN THIS ROOM.
HEY, I'LL COME FIND YOU.
YOU WANNA (bleep) GAMES? LET'S DO THIS.
I'M STARTING TO GET WEIRD TUNNEL VISION.
SIT DOWN.
SIT AND TALK.
(Nick) WHERE YOU AT? COME ON! I'M WALKING INTO THIS BACK ROOM OVER HERE.
JUST THE BUILDING, IT--IT'S JUST-- (clatter) (gasps) WHAT THE (bleep)? DIFFERENT.
(loud bang) (bleep)! WHAT THE (bleep)? DIFFERENT.
DIFFERENT.
I HEARD A LOUD BANGING NOISE COME FROM INSIDE OF THIS (bleep) ROOM RIGHT HERE.
(opens door) SOMETHING DROPPED OFF OF ONE OF THESE SHELVES.
DO IT AGAIN, SO THIS TIME I CAN SEE IT.
(Nick) I'M H--I'M HAVING A HARD TIME BREATHING.
IT JUST KEEPS FEELING LIKE SOMETHING IS ATTACKING ME, BUT I CAN'T SEE IT.
(Zak) IF THERE'S ANY OTHER SPIRITS HERE, I CAN FEEL-- NOW VERY UNCOMFORTABLE.
IF YOU'RE NEXT TO ME, DRAINING MY ENERGY, CAN YOU PLEASE STEP ON THIS SIDE AND LET ME KNOW BY MAKING THAT LIGHT GO OFF? (Nick) ARE YOU DOWN HERE HARMING PEOPLE WHEN THEY WALK INTO YOUR AREA? YOU HATE THE FACT THAT GUYS ARE COMING IN HERE AND TALKING (bleep) TO YOU? (Zak) RIGHT NOW, NICK IS CAPTURING WHAT APPEARS TO BE A DIRECT RESPONSE TO HIS PRESENCE DOWN HERE IN THE BOILER ROOM.
YOU HATE THE FACT THAT GUYS ARE COMING IN HERE AND TALKING (bleep) TO YOU? (Zak) WHATEVER WAS THROWN IN THIS ROOM, I WANT YOU TO DO IT AGAIN.
I WANT YOU TO DO IT RIGHT NOW, AND THIS TIME, THROW I AT MY (bleep) HEAD.
(Zak) ALTHOUGH NOTHING GETS THROWN AT ME, AT THIS EXACT MOMENT, I'M CAPTURING A VERY THREATENING RESPONSE TO MY TAUNTS.
I WANT YOU TO DO IT RIGHT NOW, AND THIS TIME, THROW I AT MY (bleep) HEAD.
BECAUSE WE ARE ALL EXPERIENCING ACTIVITY, WE DECIDE TO REGROUP AND ARM OURSELVES WITH THE THERMAL IMAGING CAMERA AS WELL AS THE INFRARED DIGITAL STILL CAMERA, AND THEN RETURN TO FURTHER INVESTIGATE EACH OF OUR SPLIT-UP LOCATIONS.
WE SCANNED THE BOILER ROOM AS WELL AS THE THIRD FLOOR STAIRWELL, BUT IT ISN'T UNTIL WE REACH THE SECOND LEVEL, WHERE I WAS STATIONED, THAT WE CAPTURE SOMETHING COMPLETELY SHOCKING.
(camera shutter clicking) (Zak) WHOA.
WE'VE GOT, LIKE, A SHADOW ON HERE.
AARON, WHERE ARE YOU? (Aaron) DOWN HERE.
IF I WERE TO CAST A SHADOW FROM THE LINE OF YOUR SHOOTING ME, WITH THE ONLY LIGHT SOURCE BEHIND ME IS ON AARON'S CAMERA, IT WOULD BE PROJECTING MY SHADOW UP IN THIS REGION OVER HERE.
ARE YOU GETTING ALL THIS? YEAH.
AND, NICK, YOU WERE UP THERE WITH THE THERMAL IMAGING CAMERA.
(Nick) YEP.
THERMAL IMAGING CAMERA DOES NOT HAVE A LIGHT SOURCE.
AND I JUST SAW A SHADOW BEHIND THIS WALL, IN COMPARISON TO WHERE YOU ARE WITH YOUR LIGHT SOURCE, ON THIS BEAM RIGHT HERE IN FRONT OF MY CAMERA.
IT WAS GONE IN THE SECOND PICTURE.
COME HERE AND LOOK AT THIS, NICK.
YEAH.
YOU CAN EVEN SEE IT WALK IN RIGHT HERE.
YEP.
IT'S, LIKE, WALKING IN FROM OVER THERE.
(speaks indistinctly) SO THAT'S COMING OU OF THAT ROOM.
YEAH.
IT'S COMING OU OF THIS ROOM RIGHT-- WAIT.
THIS IS THE (bleep) ROOM WHERE HE WAS ATTACKED.
RIGHT HERE.
HE SAT RIGHT THERE IN FRONT OF THAT ROOM.
THIS IS ALSO THE ROOM WHERE I HEARD THAT UNEXPLAINED LOUD BANG WHEN I WAS BY MYSELF RIGHT HERE.
THIS IS THE ROOM WHERE A HUGE LOUD BANG CAME FROM.
AND THE SHADOW FIGURE COMES OUT HERE, OUT HERE, OUT HERE, AND THEN IT JUST DISAPPEARED.
YEP.
SO THAT'S A PRETTY COOL (bleep) PICTURE.
THAT'S A PRETTY COOL (bleep) PICTURE.
100 YEARS OF DEATH, DISEASE, AND MENTAL ILLNESS HAVE POISONED THIS RURAL PATCH OF LAND.
(screaming) THE PARANORMAL ENERGY AT ASHMORE ESTATES HAS TURNED DEMONIC, ATTACHING ITSELF TO THE UNSUSPECTING AND OPPRESSING THEIR SOULS.
(exhales deeply) EVERY NIGHT, SCREAMING IN HIS SLEEP.
TONIGHT, WE FEL THESE DARK FORCES.
WHAT THE (bleep) WAS THAT? SOMETHING JUST SCRATCHED ME.
(loud bang) (bleep)! TIME WILL TELL WHOA.
IF THEY'LL FOLLOW US HOME.
ZAK, YOU ALL RIGH OVER THERE, MAN?
