Ghosts of Shepherdstown (2016) s02e01 Episode Script

1 [ Echoing .]
I RELEASED A CURSE FROM SHEPHERDSTOWN.
King: AFTER THE PARANORMAL TEAM WRAPPED UP THEIR INVESTIGATION LAST SUMMER, THINGS HAVE CERTAINLY DIED DOWN IN SHEPHERDSTOWN.
THAT'S FOR SURE.
THE PROBLEM IS I'M BEGINNING TO GET ALL TYPES OF STRANGE REPORTS FROM THE NEIGHBORING TOWNS.
YOU KNOW, MAYBE IT'S BIGGER THAN WHAT I THOUGHT.
OH, WOW.
MAYBE IT'S BIGGER THAN SHEPHERDSTOWN.
LAST YEAR, WE HAD A VERY SIGNIFICANT SPIKE IN UNUSUAL EMERGENCY CALLS.
I GOT TO TELL YOU, I'VE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE I IN MY 36 YEARS OF POLICE WORK.
I ASSEMBLED A TEAM OF TOP PARANORMAL INVESTIGATORS TO HELP US SOLVE SOME OF THESE BIZARRE CASES.
-THERE'S SOMEBODY HERE.
-GO, GO, GO.
FOLLOW IT.
Groff: THERE'S A NEGATIVE PRESENCE HERE.
King: A LOT OF FOLKS ALREADY BELIEVE SHEPHERDSTOWN IS THE MOST HAUNTED TOWN IN THE COUNTRY.
BUT NOW THE DARK PRESENCE IS BACK [ WOMAN SCREAMS .]
AND IT'S SPREADING.
-- Captions by VITAC -- CAPTIONS PAID FOR BY DISCOVERY COMMUNICATIONS [ TELEPHONE RINGS .]
ALL RIGHT.
SO THIS IS THE POTOMAC RIVER, AND WE'RE HEADING DOWNSTREAM RIGHT NOW.
WE'RE ACTUALLY GOING AWAY FROM SHEPHERDSTOWN, AND WE'RE HEADED INTO A SMALL TOWN CALLED HARPERS FERRY.
LIKE I SAID, WHEN YOU GUYS LEFT TOWN, SHEPHERDSTOWN HAS BEEN VERY QUIET, BUT I'VE KIND OF BECOME THE GO-TO GUY FOR LOCAL HAUNTINGS NOW.
THE GO-TO GUY? EVERY TIME SOMETHING UNEXPLAINABLE HAPPENS IN ONE OF THESE NEIGHBORING TOWNS, I SEEM TO BE GETTING A LOT OF CALLS FROM MY POLICE FRIENDS.
MIKE, DO YOU SEE THEM BEHIND US? HEY, BILL.
DID WE LOSE YOU? ARE YOU STILL BEHIND US? I'M RIGHT BEHIND YOU BOYS, JUS COMING AROUND THE CORNER NOW.
OKAY.
YEAH.
I SEE THEM.
WELL, AN '89 AMBO DOESN' EXACTLY CORNER VERY WELL.
IT'S KIND OF STRANGE THAT CHIEF KING IS SUDDENLY GETTING ALL OF THESE CALLS ALONG THE POTOMAC RIVER, WHICH GOES RIGHT BACK INTO WHA WE WERE THEORIZING THE LAST TIME WE WERE IN SHEPHERDSTOWN, THAT WATER IS A POWERFUL SPIRITUAL CONDUCTOR.
WELL, HARPERS FERRY WAS ALSO SURROUNDED BY WATER.
THE POTOMAC RIVER AND THE SHENANDOAH RIVERS ACTUALLY RUN RIGH INTO EACH OTHER THERE.
SO WHAT YOU'RE SAYING JUST VALIDATES OUR THEORY THAT IT'S POSSIBLE THE POTOMAC RIVER IS WHAT IS CHANNELING ALL THIS SPIRITUAL ENERGY FROM SHEPHERDSTOWN ITSELF.
IT'S POSSIBLE.
I REALLY THINK THAT SHEPHERDSTOWN IS LIKE THE EYE OF THE STORM IN ALL THIS.
THAT'S A SCARY THOUGHT.
WE'RE HEADED ACTUALLY TO THE JOHN BROWN WAX MUSEUM.
THE OWNER HAS CALLED ME THREE TIMES THE LAST WEEK, DESCRIBED IT KIND OF AS POLTERGEIST ACTIVITY.
REALLY? IS THAT WHO WE'RE MEETING WITH RIGHT NOW? NO.
WE'RE GOING TO MEET WITH ANN.
SHE'S THE MANAGER.
SHE'S THE ONE WHO'S EXPERIENCED EVERYTHING THERE.
[ TRAIN WHISTLE BLOWS .]
Saint: IS THIS HARPERS FERRY? Hartley: YEAH.
THIS IS HARPERS FERRY.
YOU CAN SEE BY THE HISTORIC BUILDINGS, THIS PLACE PREDATES THE AMERICAN CIVIL WAR.
-IT'S COLD OUT NOW.
-YEAH, IT IS.
IT'S NOT LIKE SUMMERTIME.
LOOK AT ALL THE ROCK.
Hartley: YEAH, THE FOUNDATION OF THIS WHOLE TOWN IS BUILT ON LIMESTONE AND RIVER ROCKS.
-HI, CHIEF.
-HI, ANN.
King: THIS IS THE PARANORMAL GROUP THAT I WAS TELLING YOU ABOUT.
-HI.
NICK.
HI.
MY NAME IS ANN KHIEL FERN.
I AM THE ACTING MANAGER OF THE JOHN BROWN WAX MUSEUM AND NO LONGER FEEL SAFE TO WORK HERE.
THERE ARE JUST TOO MANY UNEXPLAINED ACTIVITIES THAT HAPPEN, AND IT'S SCARY.
I'VE GOT TO RUN DOWN TO THE HARPERS FERRY OFFICE REAL QUICK.
-ALL RIGHT.
-AND I'LL BE BACK, GUYS.
IF YOU NEED ANYTHING, GIVE ME A HOLLER.
-ALL RIGHT.
THANKS, MIKE.
-ALL RIGHT.
DO YOU WANT TO LEAVE THE GUN WITH US? THEY GO EVERYTHING THEY NEED.
TRUST ME.
THEY GOT EVERYTHING THEY NEED.
ALL RIGHT.
THANK YOU.
COME ON IN, GUYS.
Saint: OKAY.
SO WHAT IS THIS LOCATION USED FOR NOW? IT IS A MUSEUM.
IT BECAME A MUSEUM IN 1963.
ALL THE YEARS ALL THE WAY BACK TO 1850, IT WAS USED AS A RESIDENCE.
LOT OF DEATH, AND SEVERAL PEOPLE DIED WITHIN THE BUILDING OH, WOW.
UNTIL IT WAS MADE INTO A WAX MUSEUM.
BUT SOMETHING IS OBVIOUSLY FREAKING YOU OUT RIGHT NOW -IT IS.
-FOR US TO BE HERE.
THINGS HAVE GONE FROM, "OKAY.
I CAN DEAL WITH THIS.
I KNOW THIS IS NOT HARMFUL," TO, "I CANNOT BE IN THIS BUILDING FOR ONE MORE MINUTE.
" DO YOU WANT TO BACK UP A LITTLE BIT AND TELL US ABOUT WHO JOHN BROWN IS? THE JOHN BROWN RAID ACTUALLY HAPPENED IN OCTOBER OF 1859, RIGHT HERE IN HARPERS FERRY.
JOHN BROWN, HE WAS A MAN WHO SUPPORTED THE FREEDOM OF THE SLAVES.
IN 1859, JOHN BROWN AND 21 OF HIS FOLLOWERS RAIDED THE HARPERS FERRY ARSENAL WHERE THE GUNS WERE MADE FOR THE GOVERNMENT.
WHAT THEY WANTED TO DO IS USE THE WEAPONS TO ARM A SLAVE REBELLION.
Woman: AT THE TIME, VIRGINIA WAS A SLAVE STATE, AND BROWN'S MEN WERE MASSIVELY OUTNUMBERED.
10 OF BROWN'S MEN WERE SLAUGHTERED DURING THE RAID.
FIVE DROPPED THEIR GUNS AND FLED, AND THE REST, INCLUDING JOHN BROWN, WERE LATER HANGED FOR TREASON.
THAT'S ALMOST LIKE EVERYBODY WAS FOLLOWING HIM INTO JUST THIS ULTIMATE EXECUTION.
Fern: THAT'S TRUE.
Groff: IT'S NOT UNUSUAL FOR SPIRITS TO REMAIN IN A LOCATION WHERE THEY DIED.
WE'VE SEEN IT TIME AND TIME AGAIN, ESPECIALLY WHEN THE DEATHS ARE VERY VIOLENT.
SO IT'S POSSIBLE THAT WE'RE DEALING WITH RESIDUAL HAUNTINGS FROM THE JOHN BROWN RAID KIND OF, LIKE, TRAPPED IN SOME SORT OF LIMBO.
Fern: WE HAVE A LOT OF SOUNDS THAT COME OUT OF THE WALLS.
WE HAVE SOUNDS THA COME OUT THROUGH HERE.
[ FOOTSTEPS .]
LITTLE FOOTSTEPS WILL RUN UP AND DOWN THE STAIRS.
[ CHILD LAUGHING .]
I DO WANT TO MENTION WHEN YOU LOOK AT THESE THAT YOU HAVE REALISTIC FIGURES IN HERE THAT DEPICT WHAT THINGS HAPPENED TO THESE PEOPLE.
ALL OF THEM HAVE HUMAN HAIR.
THEY HAVE REAL DENTURES, AND THEY HAVE GLASS EYES.
WHERE DOES THE HAIR AND DENTURES COME FROM? YOU KNOW, I REALLY DON'T WANT TO KNOW.
I'M GOING TO BE HONEST WITH YOU.
THAT JUST CREEPED ME OUT A LITTLE BIT.
WOULD Y'ALL LIKE TO FEEL ONE OF THE STATUES BEFORE WE GO THROUGH? BILL, WOULD YOU LIKE TO FEEL THE DENTURES? I'D LOVE TO FEEL THE DENTURES.
YOU CAN SEE HOW REAL THE HAIR LOOKS RIGHT HERE.
YEAH.
WOW.
HE'S GOT SPLIT ENDS.
HE NEEDS SOME CONDITIONER.
WELL, THE HAIR ACTUALLY CAME OU OF AND GREW OUT OF A PERSON.
HOW DO WE KNOW THAT THESE DISPLAYS THEMSELVES AREN' AMPING UP ACTIVITY OR ARE THE REASON FOR THE ACTIVITY BECAUSE, I MEAN, I'D BE PISSED IF SOMEONE TOOK MY HAIR AND PUT IT ON A MANNEQUIN.
SO RECENTLY, IT'S GOTTEN A LOT WORSE FOR YOU HERE.
YEAH.
I'VE WORKED HERE ON AND OFF SINCE 2011.
OKAY.
IT JUST SEEMS MORE DARK AND JUST CLOSER IN HERE.
YOU FEEL LIKE, YOU KNOW, YOU CAN'T GE A DEEP BREATH IN HERE, LIKE YOU'RE ALMOST OVERWHELMED.
RIGHT.
HOW MANY FLOORS IS THIS? IF YOU COUN THE SUBBASEMENT, FOUR.
THIS BUILDING IS SOMEWHERE LIKE A MAZE.
Groff: BILL, YOU GETTING ANY SPIKES ON THE EMF DETECTOR? I'M PICKING UP A LOT OF STUFF, AND I'M PRETTY SURE IT'S ALL JUST CURRENT.
FOR OUR INITIAL WALK-THROUGH, I'M REALLY GAUGING EVERYTHING WITH AN EMF DETECTOR, EMF BEING ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELD DETECTOR.
BASICALLY, I'M TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHERE ALL THE HOT SPOTS AS FAR AS ELECTRIC GOES.
THIS IS THE FIGURE I WILL NOT THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE ANNIE BROWN.
ALL RIGHT, ANN.
IT WOULD HAVE BEEN JOHN BROWN'S DAUGHTER.
SHE WAS KIND OF A -ANNIE? YEAH, KIND OF A LOOK-OUT.
I'M GOING TO MOVE AHEAD OF YOU AND WHY DON'T YOU LIKE STANDING HERE WITH HER EYES MOVE.
-HER EYES MOVE? -MM-HMM.
NATURALLY OR JUST PARANORMAL? Fern: NO, JUST FOR SOME PEOPLE.
SO BASICALLY, THEY'RE NO SUPPOSED TO DO THA IS WHAT YOU'RE SAYING.
-NO.
-OKAY.
SOMETIMES, WHEN I GO THROUGH TO MAKE MY CHECKS IN THE MUSEUM, THE EYES SEEM TO FOLLOW ME.
THERE'S A FEELING OF NO BEING ALONE HERE.
YOU ARE NOT ALONE.
BECAUSE RIGHT NOW, MY KNEES ARE SHAKING, AND MY HANDS ARE SHAKING.
I DON'TEVEN THOUGH I'VE GOT YOU GUYS WITH ME, I STILL DON'T FEEL COMFORTABLE BEING IN THIS BUILDING AT ALL.
IS IT JUST THE FEELING OF SOMETHING NEGATIVE THAT'S TRYING TO GET IN? VERY NEGATIVE.
I THINK BECAUSE THIS WAS OWNED FOR SO LONG BY FAMILIES [ KNOCK .]
HOLD ON.
THAT WAS A LOUD KNOCK ON THE GLASS RIGHT THERE.
Hartley: YEAH.
SOMETHING POPPED BY US.
SOMETHING JUST WENT OR IT'S ALMOST LOOK SOMETHING WAS TRYING TO GET OUR ATTENTION.
WELL, YOU GO OUR ATTENTION, BOYS.
WHAT DO YOU NEED? DO YOU THINK THA COULD BE FROM, LIKE, COLD AND HEAT, CRACKING? THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I WAS THINKING.
Hartley: SO AS THE SKEPTIC FOR THE TEAM, I ALWAYS LOOK FOR NATURAL EXPLANATIONS FIRST.
YEAH.
IT COULD BE PARANORMAL.
IT COULD ALSO BE ENVIRONMENTAL WITH THE HEAT AND THE COLDNESS, IT GOING BACK AND FORTH.
THINGS OF THAT NATURE, IT COULD CAUSE THE GLASS TO JUST SHIF AND CAUSE THAT POP.
THERE IS SOMETHING HERE THAT DEFINITELY DOESN'T LIKE I WHEN I'M HERE.
YOU KNOW HOW SOMETIMES YOU KNOW SOMETHING IS THERE, BUT YOU KNOW THAT YOU'RE OKAY? -OH, ABSOLUTELY.
-YOU KNOW IT'S A CHILD, AND THEY'RE BEING MISCHIEVOUS OR SOMETHING.
-BUT THIS IS DIFFERENT.
-NO.
THIS IS DIFFERENT.
THIS IS SOMETHING VERY DARK.
WAIT.
WAIT.
WHAT HAPPENED? IS THAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE HE'S BREATHING? -DID YOU SEE THAT? -THAT'S WHAT I MEAN, LIKE -DID YOU SEE? LOOK.
-WHOA, WHOA, WHOA, WHOA.
DOES IT LOOK LIKE HE'S BREATHING? Saint: WHOA, WHOA, WHOA, WHOA.
I CAN SEE THAT.
HE IS.
-IT DID JUST MOVE.
HIS SHIRT JUST WENT DOWN.
DID YOU CATCH THAT? IS THAT SUPPOSED TO MOVE LIKE THAT? -YES.
-OKAY.
WE WERE LIKE, "WHAT?" WHEN YOU TURN THE LIGHTS ON, HE JUST LOOKS LIKE HE'S BREATHING.
Fern: HE JUST BREATHES.
HE JUST BREATHES ALL DAY.
YOU HAVE TO EXCUSE ME FOR MY GRAVE SENSE OF HUMOR.
-NO, THAT'S FINE.
-NO, NO.
THAT'S GREAT.
YOU GOT ME.
[BLEEP.]
Groff: HOLD ON.
ARE YOU ALL RIGHT, ELIZABETH? WHAT'S THE MATTER? NO, MY EARS JUS POPPED REALLY BAD.
ONE OF MY ROLES ON THE TEAM IS AS THE SENSITIVE.
SO I CAN, A LOT OF TIMES, TUNE INTO MY ENVIRONMEN AND WHAT'S GOING ON AT A CERTAIN LOCATION.
ARE YOU ALL RIGHT? YOU'RE JUST GETTING REALLY BAD PRESSURE? MY HEART IS, LIKE, RACING REALLY BAD, AND, UM, IT FEELS LIKE I HAVE ONE LUNG.
-YOU WANT TO CONTINUE? -YEAH, YEAH.
-GO A LITTLE LONGER? -YEAH, YEAH, I WOULD LIKE TO.
SO A LOT OF TIMES, WHEN IT'S HARD TO BREATHE FOR ME OR THERE'S NAUSEA ASSOCIATED WITH IT OR DIZZINESS OR FEELING LIKE THERE'S VERTIGO, IT DOES MEAN TO ME THA THERE'S SOMETHING PARANORMAL HAPPENING AT THIS LOCATION.
NOW, THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN YOUR GALLOWS SCENE.
OF COURSE, YOU SEE JOHN BROWN ASCENDING.
DO PEOPLE GO IN THIS ROOM EVER? SOMETIMES.
Hartley: I THINKS SHE'S ASKING, CAN WE GO IN THAT ROOM? YEAH, THAT'S KIND OF WHA I WAS GETTING AT.
TO GET TO THAT, THIS WOULD BE TO THE SUBBASEMENT.
-OKAY.
-OKAY? UM NOW, WHAT'S IN THIS SUBBASEMENT? THAT AND A WHOLE LO OF BAD STUFF.
-BAD STUFF? -OH.
IS THIS YEAH.
I WILL NOT GO DOWN.
I GET EXTREMELY DIZZY.
I GET HEART PALPITATIONS.
I ABSOLUTELY WILL NOT GO IN THE BASEMENT WITH YOU.
BUT I DO WANT TO SHOW YOU WHAT HAPPENED LAST NIGHT.
WAIT.
THERE'S MORE TO TALK ABOUT? THERE'S MORE TO TALK ABOUT, WHAT MADE ME HAVE TO CALL FOR HELP.
OKAY.
DO YOU WANT TO CLOSE THIS? I KNOW IT'S MAKING YOU FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE.
YOU KNOW, I DON'T KNOW IF I'M KEEPING US OU OR KEEPING IT IN.
OKAY, GUYS.
I WANT TO SHOW YOU WHAT HAS MADE ME BE AFRAID TO COME BACK IN HERE ANYMORE.
I WAS AT THE DESK, WORKING, TRYING TO GE SOME PAPERWORK READY.
AND I HEARD KNOCKING.
[ KNOCKING .]
AND IT GOT LOUDER AND LOUDER AND LOUDER.
AND THEN I HEARD THE MOST HORRIFIC SOUND.
[ NAILS SCRAPING .]
IF YOU THINK OF SOMEBODY WITH LONG, FILTHY, DIRTY FINGERNAILS JUST SCRAPING.
[ NAILS SCRAPING .]
I DON'T EVER WAN TO HEAR IT AGAIN.
IF YOU FEEL THIS, THIS IS ON BRICK.
IT'S RIGHT ON THE BRICK.
-OH, YEAH.
THE NEXT THING I KNEW, THE WALLPAPER STARTED PULSATING AS IF SOMETHING WERE BREATHING UNDERNEATH OF IT.
[ RUMBLING .]
AND ALL OF A SUDDEN, FROM THE NEXT FLOOR UP, IT SOUNDED LIKE SOMEBODY DROPPED, LIKE, A STEAMER TRUNK.
[ THUD .]
I LOST IT.
I RAN OUT.
I WAS ABSOLUTELY TERRIFIED.
THE WALLS WERE ESSENTIALLY BREATHING.
THEY WERE BREATHING.
AND THIS HAPPENED JUST LAST NIGHT? -YEAH.
-OH, MY GOD.
I WILL NEVER WORK HERE AGAIN, AT LEAST NOT ALONE.
I FEEL LIKE I'M BEING THREATENED.
I FEEL LIKE I'M BEING TARGETED.
GUYS, I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO GO SEE DANA.
YOU KNOW WHAT? I THINK, IF YOU'RE GOING OUT, I'M RIGHT BEHIND YOU.
-COME ON.
Saint: I REALLY WANT TO DIG UP SOME MORE HISTORY ON THE BUILDING ITSELF.
SO I'M GOING TO MEET UP WITH OUR TEAM HISTORIAN, DANA.
SHE WAS TRULY AN ASSET LAST TIME WE WERE HERE IN REALLY BACKING UP OUR FINDINGS WITH HISTORICAL EVIDENCE.
WE'LL STAY BEHIND.
WE'RE GOING TO DO SOME BASELINE READINGS OF THE PLACE OKAY, GREAT.
BEFORE WE ACTUALLY GET INTO OUR INVESTIGATION.
A BASELINE SWEEP HELPS US ESTABLISH REFERENCE POINTS WITH OUR EQUIPMEN WHICH WE CAN COMPARE LATER DURING OUR NIGHT INVESTIGATION WITH ANY READINGS WE GET.
ALL RIGHT.
RIGHT NOW, WE'RE GOING TO THE SUBBASEMENT.
AND YOU SAID RIGHT HERE IS WHERE IT'S BEEN REALLY SEVERE FOR HER.
THESE STEPS, THIS IS DEFINITELY WHERE I'M ABOUT TO DIE.
HERE WE GO.
-YOU GOOD, BILL? -YEAH.
WELL, YOU KNOW, SQUEEZE THE FA IN SIDEWAYS, YOU KNOW? OH, MY GOD.
YOU SHOULD SEE HOW STEEP THESE STEPS ARE.
SERIOUSLY, THIS PLACE IS CREEPY AS HELL.
THIS WHOLE FOUNDATION, HERE'S A BUNCH OF RIVER ROCK THAT'S STACKED IN.
COULD BE KICKING UP SOME OF THE ACTIVITY, HOLDING THAT ENERGY IN.
ALL RIGHT, BILL.
I'M GOING IN.
IT'S A LOT COLDER DOWN HERE.
I FEEL LIKE I HAVE TO WALK IN JOHN BROWN'S FOOTSTEPS.
ALL RIGHT.
I'M MOVING UP.
SMILE FOR ME, JOHNNY.
[ CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS .]
[ REM METER BEEPING .]
I'M GETTING REM HI DOWN HERE, NICK.
-ARE YOU? -YEAH.
-WHERE AT? -JUST ABOUT DIRECTLY UNDER YOU.
Hartley: BASICALLY, SPIKES ON THE REM METER IS JUST SAYING SOMETHING IS GETTING CLOSE ENOUGH TO THE ANTENNA TO SET IT OFF, JUST LIKE MY FINGER GETTING CLOSE TO IT WILL DO THAT.
IF MY HAND IS DOWN HERE AND IT STARTS GOING OFF, THAT MEANS THERE'S SOMETHING IN FRONT OF THIS ANTENNA.
IS YOUR WALKIE OFF? YOU GO TO BE CAREFUL, TOO, BECAUSE WALKIE-TALKIES WILL SET IT OFF.
OTHER SIDE, THOUGH.
BUT OBVIOUSLY, YOU'RE NOT HITTING IT, RIGHT? MNH-MNH, WITH WHAT HAND, NICK? -I DON'T KNOW.
-HOLD ON.
HOLD ON.
LOOK AT THIS.
[ REM METER BEEPS .]
WHAT THE HELL? WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT? -WHAT HAPPENED? -I DON'T KNOW.
SOMETHING JUST BRUSHED AGAINST MY HAIR.
I DON'T KNOW ABOUT UP THERE.
BUT DOWN HERE, THERE ARE WEBS.
WHEN I LOOK UP TO TRY TO, LIKE, GRAB IT, LIKE, IF IT'S A COBWEB OR WHATEVER, I DON'T SEE ANYTHING OR FEEL ANYTHING.
HEY, NICK.
YOU KNOW WHAT? YOU MIGHT BE FEELING THE SURFACE TEMPERATURE BECAUSE YOUR HAIR GEL IS STARTING TO FAIL YOU.
-OH, IS THAT WHAT IT IS? -THAT'S PROBABLY WHAT IT IS.
THAT MEANS IT'S GETTING LATE.
WE GOT TO SET UP CAMERAS, SEE IF WE CAN BRING OU MAYBE THE THERMAL CAMERA.
OH, ABSOLUTELY.
THERE'S SOMETHING MOVING AROUND DOWN HERE.
YOU KNOW WHA I'M THINKING ABOUT? IF SOMETHING DID PENETRATE THAT IMMACULATE HEAD OF HAIR OF YOURS, RUN A CAMERA.
SET IT AT THE BACK OF THE GALLOWS AND SHOOT THIS ENTIRE ROOM.
-YEP.
SO I THINK WE'RE GOOD HERE, BILL.
WE KNOW WHAT TO FOCUS ON.
-YEAH.
YOU WANT TO MOVE TO THE RES OF THE BUILDING? I DO.
THE PROBLEM, TOO, BILL, IS WE DON'T KNOW WHAT TYPE OF -- WHOA, WHOA.
WHAT IS THAT? WHAT'S THAT NOISE? WE'RE THE ONLY ONES IN HERE, RIGHT? THERE'S A LOUD DOOR SLAMMING SHUT.
LET'S GET DOWN THERE.
-WHOA.
-YOU ALL RIGHT? [ DOOR SLAMMING .]
THERE'S A LOUD DOOR SLAMMING SHUT.
LET'S GET DOWN THERE.
OH, YEAH.
FAT GUYS DON'T DO THAT, NICK.
I'LL COVER LONG WAY.
-WHOA.
-YOU ALL RIGHT? YEAH.
Groff: HELLO? WHAT DO YOU GOT, NICK? I THINK THIS DOOR WAS OPENING AND CLOSING.
REALLY? I RUSHED DOWN HERE, AND I TURNED THE CORNER, AND THIS DOOR -- BUT IT'S LOCKED.
ARE WE SURE NO ONE WAS -- BILL, I RUSHED DOWN HERE, AND THIS WAS GOING, "BOOM, BOOM, BOOM," RIGHT HERE.
HOW WOULD YOU EVEN OPEN THAT DOOR, THOUGH? IT'S LOCKED.
YOU CAN'T EVEN GET IN THERE.
WHAT IS THAT? IT'S LIKE A STORAGE UNIT.
THERE'S NO, UM THERE'S NO ENTRANCE TO THIS DISPLAY, MAYBE? WHAT WE HEARD DEFINITELY WASN' ANY KIND OF MECHANICAL SOUNDS.
IT WASN'T A HEATER, WASN'T THE HOT-WATER HEATER, WASN'T AN ICE MACHINE OR ANYTHING ELSE.
THERE WAS DEFINITELY NOTHING EARTHBOUND OR NATURAL ABOUT THOSE BANGS THAT WE HEARD.
WAIT, WAIT, WAIT, WAIT.
WHAT FLOOR ARE WE ON? WHAT FLOOR ARE WE ON? -WE'RE ON THE FIRST FLOOR NOW.
WHERE -- THIS IS THE FIRST FLOOR? -THE BREATHING WALL.
-HOLY [BLEEP.]
I DIDN'T EVEN THINK ABOUT THIS.
LOOK.
I WAS SO CONFUSED WHEN WE WERE RUNNING -MM-HMM.
-WHERE WE WERE.
THIS IS THE WALL SHE FREAKED OUT.
-YEAH.
-IT LOOKED LIKE A HARPY GOING THIS IS THE SAME SPOT.
IS THIS WHAT WE WERE HEARING? LITERALLY JUST HAVE GOOSEBUMPS IN MY BODY RIGHT NOW.
I THINK WE NEED TO CALL ANN.
YEAH.
LET'S GIVE HER A CALL.
WE GOT TO FIND OU WHAT'S BEHIND THIS DOOR.
[ Cellphone rings .]
HEY, ANN.
IT'S NICK GROFF.
WE'RE AT THE WAX MUSEUM.
SO WHEN WE GOT THE KEYS FROM ANN, IT TURNS OU THAT THAT LOCKED DOOR ACTUALLY LEADS TO A HIDDEN STAIRCASE THAT GOES RIGHT BACK DOWN TO THE SUBBASEMENT.
IT'S ALMOST LIKE SOMETHING IS TRYING TO LEAD US BACK DOWN TO THE JOHN BROWN GALLOWS EXHIBIT.
ALL RIGHT.
WELL, DO YOU HAVE ANY WAY OF GETTING IN CONTACT WITH HER, SO WE CAN TRY TO BRING HER BACK HERE AND INTERVIEW HER? Groff: WE'RE NOT THE ONLY ONES THAT HAVE HEARD THESE BANG SOUNDS NEAR THE STAIRCASE.
APPARENTLY, A VOLUNTEER ACTUALLY HEARD SOMETHING SIMILAR, AND SHE SAW SOMETHING THAT FREAKED HER OU SO BAD SHE QUIT WORKING HERE.
Melissa: HELLO? Groff: HELLO? HI.
ARE YOU MELISSA, THE VOLUNTEER THAT USED TO WORK HERE? YEAH.
ANN CALLED ME EARLIER.
SHE TOLD ME TO COME UP -RIGHT.
AND TALK TO YOU GUYS, SEE WHAT WAS GOING ON.
YEAH.
THANKS FOR COMING HERE.
AFTER THE LAST COUPLE SHIFTS THAT I HAD A COUPLE WEEKS AGO, I HAVEN'T REALLY BEEN BACK HERE.
SO IT'S KIND OF WEIRD TO BE BACK, TO BE HONEST.
YOU STOPPED WORKING BECAUSE OF THIS LOCATION? DID SOMETHING HAPPEN? YEAH.
USUALLY, WE CLOSE IN PAIRS.
AND THAT DAY, I THOUGH I WAS CLOSING WITH ANOTHER VOLUNTEER NAMED JAIME.
SO I'M WALKING UP THE STAIRS, AND I HEAR THIS REALLY STRANGE KNOCK.
[ KNOCKING .]
THE FIRST TIME, I KIND OF IGNORED I BECAUSE I THOUGHT, YOU KNOW, MAYBE SHE WAS JUST PLAYING A JOKE ON ME OR SOMETHING, AND THEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN.
[ KNOCKING .]
Melissa: IT HAD THIS REALLY SPECIFIC PATTERN WITH IT.
IT GOES, LIKE, TWO NORMAL KNOCKS, A SOFT KNOCK AND A THUD.
[ KNOCKING .]
SO I'M THINKING THAT'S JUST JAIME.
SO I ALSO DID THE SAME KNOCKING PATTERN.
[ KNOCKING .]
BEFORE I COULD EVEN TURN AROUND, IT KNOCKED BACK.
[ KNOCKING .]
AND I LOOKED TO SEE IF MAYBE JAIME WAS TRYING TO FIGURE OU WHERE I AM, BUT I DIDN'T SEE ANYONE.
AND THAT'S WHEN I STARTED GETTING THIS FEELING LIKE, "OKAY.
SOMETHING IS GOING ON HERE.
" SO I GOT MY BOSS, ANN, ON THE PHONE, AND I SAID, "HEY.
WHO'S THE OTHER CLOSER WITH ME TONIGHT?" AND ANN TOLD ME THAT THERE WASN' SUPPOSED TO BE ANOTHER CLOSER.
JAIME ACTUALLY LEF EARLIER THAT DAY.
I JUST THOUGHT, "OH, MY GOD.
IF THAT'S NOT JAIME, THEN WHO AM I KNOCKING WITH?" -SO -AND IT WAS FOUR KNOCKS OR THREE? -IT WAS FOUR.
-FOUR.
YEAH.
WHAT'S REALLY INTERESTING Groff: IS MELISSA HEARD THESE KNOCKING SOUNDS.
IT WAS ALMOST LIKE A DISTINCT PATTERN.
THEY WERE VERY INNOCENT.
IT'S TOTALLY DIFFERENT THAN WHA I JUST HEARD, REALLY AGGRESSIVE.
THEY WERE ERUPTING THROUGH THE WHOLE BUILDING.
WHAT HAPPENED NEXT? AFTER THAT, I HEARD THIS GIGGLING LIKE A CHILD WAS LAUGHING.
[ CHILD LAUGHING .]
AND THEN A BREEZE OR SOMETHING BRUSHED BY ME MM-HMM.
YOU KNOW, LIKE AS IF SOMETHING WAS RUNNING BY ME.
AND WHAT REALLY GOT ME WAS THAT I COULD FEEL I AS IF IT WAS RIGHT BY ME, AND I TURNED TO LOOK TO SEE WHAT THAT WAS.
AND I SAW THIS TRANSPARENT FIGURE CROSS INTO THE OTHER ROOM.
DO YOU KNOW IF IT WAS A BOY, GIRL, MAN, WOMAN? HONESTLY, I COULDN' REALLY TELL, UM Groff: I'VE INTERVIEWED HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE, AND YOU WANT THEM TO DESCRIBE I RIGHT TO THE "T.
" "OKAY.
I SAW THIS.
THIS IS HOW THE HAIR LOOKED, THE EYES, EVERYTHING," BUT USUALLY, IT'S JUST THAT SPLIT SECOND.
LOGICALLY, THEY'RE TRYING TO EXPLAIN IT, BUT AT THE SAME TIME, IT'S UNEXPLAINABLE, SO THEY CAN'T FIGURE IT OUT.
ANYTHING THAT YOU COULD REMEMBER? IF I HAD TO GUESS, IT WAS, LIKE, THIS LITTLE GIRL THAT RAN AROUND THE CORNER.
WOW.
SO AFTER THAT, GOT MY STUFF, AND I LEFT, AND I HAVEN'T BEEN BACK TO VOLUNTEER SINCE THEN.
I MEAN, MAYBE THIS GHOST GIRL HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE JOHN BROWN RAID.
BUT I THINK, HONESTLY, WE NEED TO COMPLETELY REVAMP OUR STRATEGY AND LOOK AT THE FAMILIES THAT ONCE LIVED HERE AFTER THE RAID.
SOMETHING IS DEFINITELY GOING ON HERE.
WE FOUND SOME REALLY USEFUL THINGS TODAY AT THE LIBRARY.
Saint: AFTER NICK LEARNED ABOUT THIS GHOST GIRL THAT MELISSA SAW IN THE MUSEUM, DANA AND I STARTED RESEARCHING FAMILIES THAT LIVED IN THE BUILDING AFTER JOHN BROWN'S RAID, AND WE ACTUALLY CAME ACROSS SOME REALLY CRITICAL INFORMATION THAT COULD POTENTIALLY CHANGE OUR THEORY AS TO WHO THIS SPIRIT IS.
WE RESEARCHED INTO ALL THE PREVIOUS OCCUPANTS OF THE BUILDING THAT'S NOW THE WAX MUSEUM, AND WE DID FIND ONE FAMILY THAT DID SUFFER A GREAT TRAGEDY THERE.
THERE WAS AN IRISH CATHOLIC IMMIGRANT NAMED MURTHA WALSH WHO MOVED TO HARPERS FERRY, VIRGINIA, AROUND 1850.
HE AND HIS WIFE OPENED UP A DRY-GOODS STORE ON THE FIRST FLOOR OF WHAT IS NOW THE JOHN BROWN WAX MUSEUM.
MURTHA AND HIS WIFE, JULIA, RAISE A FAMILY OF NINE CHILDREN IN THAT BUILDING.
AS WAS CUSTOM IN THE TIME, THEIR ELDEST DAUGHTER, SARAH, HELPED RAISE ALL THE CHILDREN WHILE HER PARENTS WERE RUNNING THE STORE.
AND I'M SURE SARAH SPENT A LO OF TIME CARING FOR AND PLAYING WITH THE OTHER CHILDREN.
THEY MIGHT HAVE FEL CLOSER TO HER AS A MOTHER THAN THEY DID THEIR OWN MOTHER.
IN 1879, SARAH BECAME VERY ILL.
[ COUGHS .]
IT CAME ON QUICKLY.
I'M SURE THAT MUST HAVE BEEN VERY TRAUMATIC FOR THE YOUNGER SIBLINGS BECAUSE THEY ALL LOVED AND RELIED ON HER.
AND SHE PASSED AWAY QUITE SUDDENLY WHEN SHE WAS ONLY 19 YEARS OLD.
SO A YOUNG GIRL DID ACTUALLY PASS AWAY IN THE HOUSE THEN.
YES, MM-HMM.
AND HERE IS SARAH'S DEATH RECORD, SHOWING HER AGE AND HOW SHE DIED WHEN SHE WAS 19 FROM PNEUMONIA.
THROUGH ALL THE RESEARCH YOU'VE DONE, DO WE KNOW OF ANY OTHER PEOPLE THAT HAVE PASSED AWAY IN THIS HOUSE? NO OTHER CHILDREN.
THIS IS CRAZY BECAUSE MELISSA WAS HEARING GIGGLING LIKE A YOUNGER A YOUNGER GIRL.
FEMALE GIGGLING VOICE, NOT A 19-YEAR-OLD GIGGLING.
MM.
SHE COULD BE A VERY PLAYFUL PERSON.
SHE HAD TO PLAY WITH HER SIBLINGS TO KEEP THEM OCCUPIED.
SO THAT'S AN EXCELLEN POINT, THOUGH.
YEAH.
YOU'RE RIGHT.
SHE WOULD HAVE HAD TO.
BUT EVEN IF THE ENTITY THAT'S IN THIS MUSEUM RIGHT NOW IS SARAH, THE CLAIMS SEEM TO INDICATE THA THERE IS SOMETHING ELSE THERE, MAYBE SOMETHING DARKER.
SO THIS NEGATIVE ENERGY COULD STILL BE LINKED TO THE RAIDERS THAT DIED THERE.
RIGHT.
I DEFINITELY THINK WE SHOULD DO A NIGHT INVESTIGATION.
Groff: NOW WHAT WE WANT TO DO IS A NIGHT INVESTIGATION WITH OUR I.
R.
CAMERAS AND OTHER EQUIPMEN TO TRY TO CAPTURE EVIDENCE TO FIND OU WHO OR WHAT IS ACTUALLY HAUNTING THIS PLACE.
I'M ALSO GOING TO CONTACT LORIE AND HAVE HER COME THROUGH AND SEE WHAT SHE PICKS UP ON.
LORIE IS A LOCAL PSYCHIC MEDIUM THAT WE USED PREVIOUSLY WHEN WE WERE IN SHEPHERDSTOWN.
SHE'S ABLE TO CONNEC WITH SPIRITS IN A LOT OF WAYS THAT WE CAN'T.
-DANA.
-YES.
WOULD YOU LIKE A SLEEPLESS NIGHT WITH THE TEAM? NO, THANK YOU.
I'M HAPPY IN MY LIBRARY STACKS.
Hartley: HEY, ELIZABETH.
HEY.
JUST CHECKING IN TO SEE WHICH FLOOR YOU'RE ON SO WE CAN GE THAT CAMERA TIED DOWN.
I AM IN THE HALLWAY WHERE ANN SAW THE BREATHING WALL.
IS THAT GOOD? GOOD TO GO? SO BASICALLY, DURING TONIGHT'S INVESTIGATION, I CAN HAVE THE ABILITY TO WATCH ALL FOUR CAMERAS AT ONE TIME.
CAMERA ONE IS SHOWING THE ALLEY BEHIND THE MUSEUM WHERE THE JOHN BROWN RAID STARTED.
CAMERA TWO IS SHOWING THE DISPLAY HALLWAY WHERE THE BREATHING WALL IS.
THREE IS SHOOTING THE HALLWAY WHERE MELISSA BELIEVES SHE ENCOUNTERED THE GHOST OF A LITTLE GIRL.
FOUR IS SHOWING THE STAIRCASE WHERE WE HEARD THE THREE MYSTERIOUS BANGS, AND OF COURSE, NOW, WE HAVE THERMAL IMAGING.
OKAY.
WE'RE GOOD.
SO THE THERMAL CAM IS LOCATED IN THE SUBBASEMENT DISPLAY, WHICH IS WHERE THE DISPLAY OF JOHN BROWN'S HANGING IS.
WHEN WE WERE DOWN HERE, WE NOTICED WE WERE GETTING LITTLE SPIKES ON BOTH THE EMF DETECTOR AND THE REM POD.
Saint: YOU'LL NOTICE WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE IMAGES THAT IF THERE IS A COLDER SPOT, IT'LL SHOW UP AS BLUE.
IF IT'S A WARMER OR HOT SPOT, IT WILL SHOW UP AS A YELLOW OR A RED.
ANYTHING COLDER GOES THROUGH THERE OR WARMER, WE'LL KNOW.
LET ME JUST GE MY CAMERA ALL SET UP.
Saint: WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO IS FIGURE OU IF WE'RE DEALING WITH SARAH WALSH OR IF IT'S SOME OTHER ENTITY AT THIS LOCATION.
LET'S SHUT POWER.
ELIZABETH AND I ARE ABOUT TO HEAD DOWN INTO THE SUBBASEMENT RIGHT NOW.
HERE WE GO.
NIGHT ONE INVESTIGATION BEGINS NOW.
BE CAREFUL BECAUSE IT'S REALLY HARD TO GET THROUGH HERE.
OH, MY GOD.
[ CELLPHONE RINGS .]
HEY, MIKE.
HOW YOU DOING? YEAH.
WE ARE.
I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT IT MEANS, AND THAT'S EXACTLY WHERE THEY ARE RIGHT NOW.
Hartley: HEY, GUYS.
THIS IS MOBILE COMMAND.
ARE YOU THERE? -YEAH.
WE'RE HERE, BILL.
WHAT'S GOING ON? HEY.
I JUST TOOK A CALL FROM CHIEF KING, AND APPARENTLY, HE JUST SPOKE WITH ANN.
SHE HAS BEEN INVOLVED IN A PRETTY BAD ACCIDENT.
SHE FELT LIKE SHE GOT PUSHED, AND SHE'S CONVINCED THAT WHATEVER PUSHED HER CAME FROM HERE.
SHE APPARENTLY HAS BROKEN HER ARM IN THREE PLACES.
WHAT? AND NOW IT'S GOING TO REQUIRE SURGERY.
ANN HAS BEEN INVOLVED IN A PRETTY BAD ACCIDENT.
SHE APPARENTLY HAS BROKEN HER ARM IN THREE PLACES.
WHAT? SHE FELT LIKE SHE GOT PUSHED, AND SHE'S CONVINCED THAT WHATEVER PUSHED HER CAME FROM HERE.
Groff: EVEN THOUGH ANN WAS A HOME WHEN SHE BROKE HER ARM, SHE BELIEVES THAT SOMETHING NEGATIVE CONNECTED TO THIS MUSEUM IS WHAT PUSHED HER DOWN, AND THAT MAKES ME THINK THAT WE'RE NOT JUST DEALING WITH THE SPIRI OF A LITTLE GIRL.
WE'RE DEALING WITH SOMETHING THAT'S MORE NEGATIVE, SOMETHING MORE SINISTER.
Groff: CAN ELIZABETH GO BY AND CHECK ON ANN? NO.
SHE'S IN THE HOSPITAL RIGHT NOW AND IS GOING TO HAVE TO HAVE SURGERY ON HER ARM.
[ BANG .]
DID YOU HEAR THAT? THAT WAS A LOUD BANG RIGHT ON THE FREAKING FLOOR.
RIGHT, RIGHT HERE.
DID YOU HEAR THAT? YEAH.
I HEARD THAT LOUDNESS THEE.
IT WAS A BOOM.
SO MAYBE IT'S JUS BEGINNING RIGHT NOW.
ANN IS PROBABLY A LOT SAFER AT THE HOSPITAL THAN SHE WOULD BE HERE RIGHT NOW.
I FEEL LIKE WHATEVER THIS THING IS, IT'S HERE WITH US RIGHT NOW.
HEY, LORIE.
HOW YOU BEEN? -AH, LONG TIME.
-GOOD TO SEE YOU.
-LONG TIME.
-YEAH, YEAH.
THE ONLY PERSON THAT COULD PROBABLY GET RID OF IT WOULD BE LORIE.
MAYBE YOU CAN PICK UP ON SOMETHING THA WE'RE NOT SEEING WITH THIS CAMERA.
YOU WANT ME TO LEAD THE WAY? SURE.
OH, YEAH.
OH.
OH.
THERE'S A LOT OF ENERGY HERE.
ARE YOU PICKING UP SOMETHING? OH, YEAH, YEAH, YEAH.
OH.
YEP.
IT'S A GIRL.
WAIT, YOU SAID A GIRL? YEAH.
I'M GETTING A FEMALE.
OH, WOW.
-YOU OKAY? -YEAH.
SHOULD I TELL YOU THE INFORMATION THAT I KNOW HISTORICALLY? NO.
I DON'T LIKE KNOWING ANYTHING BEFORE I GO INTO ANYWHERE I GO BECAUSE, THAT WAY, I'M NOT FEEDING OFF OF YOUR INFORMATION.
I WANT TO READ WHAT THE EARTH TELLS ME, THE HOUSE, THE HOME, THE SPIRITS, THE SOULS.
OH.
I'M HEARING THE CRYING, THE COUGHING.
I'M HEARING SHE'S MAKING ME NAUSEOUS TO MY STOMACH.
VERY HOT, I'M VERY, VERY HOT ON MY BODY.
I FEEL THAT, LIKE, SHE DIED OF A DISEASE.
MY LUNGS MAKE ME FEEL LIKE I'M BEING SUFFOCATED.
OH, WOW.
I'M BEING STARED AT RIGHT NOW.
WHOA.
OKAY.
THAT'S THE LITTLE -- OKAY.
IN THE CORNER HERE, IF YOU WOULD TURN AROUND, SCOTT, IN THE CORNER, BY THE TEAPOT, THE LITTLE CHILD WOULD JUST HIDE AND SEEK IN RIGHT HERE, RIGHT HERE BETWEEN THE TWO POTS.
SHE WAS STANDING RIGHT THERE.
IT'S TWO GIRLS.
THE ONE IS LOOKING FOR THE ONE THAT'S COUGHING FOR SOME REASON.
[ CHILD LAUGHING .]
THIS LITTLE ONE THA KEEPS RUNNING IN AND OU AND THEN GOING THROUGH HERE AND THEN GOING THERE AND THEN GOING UP IF THERE'S ANOTHER UP, SHE SAID, "CAN YOU HELP ME FIND HER? CAN YOU HELP ME FIND HER?" SO THERE'S THREE GIRLS THAT I SEE.
THERE'S ONE THAT'S STUCK ALMOST OUTSIDE.
SO THIS HERE WOULD BE HER OUTSIDE.
WAIT, THREE GIRLS? Saint: HEY, GUYS.
I'M GOING TO MOVE UPSTAIRS.
ALL RIGHT.
I HAVE TO LET YOU KNOW THAT THERE IS TWO OF THE YOUNG GIRLS HERE ARE LOOKING FOR ANOTHER GIRL.
YOU'RE PICKING UP ON THREE GIRLS? DO YOU FEEL LIKE THEY ARE RELATED AT ALL? I THINK THEY MIGH BE SISTERS MAYBE.
WHEN WE MET WITH DANA, WE LEARNED THERE WERE NINE SIBLINGS, AND TWO OF THE GIRLS WERE ACTUALLY YOUNGER GIRLS.
SO WHY WOULD THEY BE COMING BACK NOW THEN? BECAUSE THEY LOS THEIR SISTER.
THEY GO BACK INTO THE TIME THAT THEY WERE HAPPY A AND WHEN THEY THINK THEY CAN FIND THEIR SISTER.
AND THAT MAKES A LOT OF SENSE BECAUSE SARAH DIED OF PNEUMONIA SO QUICKLY.
IT'S POSSIBLE THA HER LITTLE SISTERS NEVER HAD A CHANCE TO SAY GOODBYE.
MOST DEFINITELY.
LOOK AT THAT.
ARE YOU GETTING THIS? Man: YEAH.
BUT IF YOU WATCH IT, YOU CAN TELL THAT THE COLDER IS GETTING COLDER, YOU KNOW, LIKE THERE'S A TEMPERATURE DROP OF SOME SORT HAPPENING.
LOOK.
THERE IT GOES AGAIN.
[ BANG .]
-DID YOU HEAR THAT -MM-HMM.
-LOUD SOUND? -MM-HMM.
SCOTT, YOU HEARD THAT, RIGHT, THAT LOUD BANG SOUND? -WHOA.
-WHOA.
WHAT THE HELL? MOBILE COMMAND TO TEAM.
YEAH, BILL.
WHAT'S GOING ON? SOMETHING DARK JUST CROSSED THROUGH THE THERMAL CAM.
SERIOUSLY? Hartley: NICK, I'M TRYING TO CONFIRM.
IS THERE ANYBODY AT ALL DOWN IN THE SUBBASEMEN WHERE THE FLIR IS? IN THE SUBBASEMENT? NO ONE IS DOWN THERE RIGHT NOW.
WE'RE ON THE FIRST FLOOR.
SOMETHING DARK JUST CROSSED THROUGH THE THERMAL CAM.
ALL RIGHT.
WE'RE GOING DOWN TO CHECK IT OUT.
LET'S GO DOWN.
FLIR FOOTAGE HAS TO BE PLAYED BACK AT THE CAMERA ITSELF.
IT DOES NOT RUN THROUGH THE DVR SYSTEM.
OKAY.
STAND BY.
ELIZABETH IS GETTING TO THE COMPUTER RIGHT NOW.
I'M JUST LOOKING TO SEE IF ANYTHING FELL DOWN IN FRONT OF THE CAMERA.
IT'S NOTHING THAT COULD HAVE FALLEN IN FRONT OF I BECAUSE IT ACTUALLY ROSE UP FROM THE BOTTOM RIGHT OF THE SCREEN.
Saint: GUYS, I THINK I FOUND SOMETHING.
HERE.
Groff: I'M GOING TO TAKE I OFF NIGHT VISION.
THERE.
PICK UP THE SCREEN.
ALL RIGHT.
I'M GOING TO PLAY I IN NORMAL TIME FIRST.
-RIGHT THERE? -YEAH.
WAIT.
THERE.
-OH, WOW.
LET ME PLAY IT BACK A LITTLE SLOWER.
-OKAY.
-HERE IT COMES.
-THERE.
-OH.
GO.
GO BACK.
GO BACK A FRAME.
CAN YOU GO BACK A FRAME -YEAH.
-JUST ONE FRAME? -IT LOOKS LIKE A -RIGHT -THERE.
-RIGHT THERE.
YOU SEE THAT? YOU SEE THE OUTLINE OF A FIGURE.
YEP.
YEAH.
HERE'S THE SHOULDER RIGHT HERE, AND THEN -THE HEAD.
-PART OF THE HEAD, BUT YOU CAN SEE THAT.
-YEAH.
THIS DOESN'T RUN LIKE NORMAL CAMERAS.
THIS IS RUNNING ON HEA AND COLD SIGNATURES, AND FOR IT TO SHOW UP BLACK MEANS IT WAS ICE COLD.
Groff: HEY, BILL.
I HONESTLY DON'T KNOW WHAT COULD HAVE CAUSED SOMETHING JUST COMPLETELY SOLID BLACK GO IN FRONT OF THIS CAMERA.
I CAN ACTUALLY SENSE HIM HERE.
IT'S HE'S BEHIND ME RIGHT NOW, AND HE'S GOING TO ATTACK.
THE NEGATIVE ENTITY DOWNSTAIRS IN THE BASEMENT, I DO FEEL THAT IT WAS SOME KIND OF CONNECTION TO THOSE GIRLS.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT THIS CONNECTION IS, BUT I KNOW IT'S DARK.
SO WHAT DO YOU THINK? WHAT SHOULD WE DO NEXT THEN? NICK, LET'S GO UPSTAIRS WHERE THE LADY HEARD THE FIRST KNOCK.
LET'S PUT THESE GIRLS TOGETHER AND SEND THEM TO THE LIGHT.
WHEN I WAS TALKING TO MELISSA, SHE SAID THERE WAS A PATTERN WHEN SHE WAS IN HERE THAT THIS ENTITY WOULD NOT KNOCK BACK AT.
I THINK WE SHOULD USE THAT EXACT KNOCK TO SUMMON THE SPIRITS OF THESE GIRLS.
AND YOU DEFINITELY THINK THAT THE KNOCKING WAS ASSOCIATED WITH THE LITTLE GIRLS? OH, MOST DEFINITELY.
THE LIGHTER, THAT IF YOU'RE HEARING LOUD KNOCKS LIKE WE DID WHEN WE WERE UP HERE, NICK -YEP.
-IT'S THE NEGATIVE.
-OKAY.
-OKAY? BUT HE WAS TRYING TO COVER UP WHAT THE LITTLE GIRLS COULD NOT HEAR.
SO IF I WENT LIKE THIS, THAT WOULD BE THE LITTLE GIRL.
SO MAYBE WE TRY TO REPLICATE THAT AGAIN, AND YOU CAN TRY THE KNOCKING TO COMMUNICATE WITH THESE LITTLE GIRLS.
IT WAS LIKE THIS.
[ KNOCKING .]
OKAY.
[ BANG .]
[ GASPS .]
YOU HEAR THAT? -I DID.
-RIGHT THERE.
-LET'S GO.
-THERE WAS A KNOCK.
-YEP.
Johnson: DO IT AGAIN, NICK, THE KNOCK.
[ KNOCKING .]
[ BANGS .]
-RIGHT THERE.
-WHAT WAS THAT? -HOLY COW.
-THAT WAS A LOUD BANG.
WATCH OUT FOR THE -- THIS Johnson: DOOR.
WE JUST HEARD A LOUD SLAMMING SOUND AGAINST THE WALL DOWN HERE.
IT CAME WAY FROM DOWN HERE.
IT ECHOED THROUGH THE BUILDING.
THERE WAS ONE LOUD HIT.
UGH, I HEAR CRIES AGAIN.
I FEEL HERE, AND I HEAR [ KNOCKING .]
SARAH, MY NAME IS LORIE, AND YOU HAVE TWO SISTERS HERE THAT ARE LOOKING FOR YOU.
SARAH, IT'S TIME TO REJOIN YOURSELF WITH YOUR SISTERS.
Saint: WHAT'S HAPPENING BACK THERE? YOU KEEP HEARING THAT, RIGHT? -I DIDN'T -- WHAT? -TAPPING.
"I'M HERE.
" I JUST HEARD, "I'M HERE.
" [ TAPS .]
THERE.
YOU HEAR IT AGAIN? I'VE GOT SOMEBODY WALKING BEHIND ME.
HE'S PISSED.
HE'S PISSED.
HE'S PISSED.
HE'S CUSSING.
"SHUT THAT STUFF UP! SHUT THAT STUFF UP!" WHAT DO WE DO ABOUT HIM? I HAVE HOLY WATER.
WHAT I'M DOING IS, IS I'M GOING TO BLESS THE GROUND AND BASICALLY THE HOME THROUGHOUT THE TOP TO THE BOTTOM, BOTTOM TO THE TOP.
I CREATED A SAFE SPACE WITH THE HOLY WATER, BASICALLY REALLY JUST SCARE THE NEGATIVE OFF AND LET THEM SEE EACH OTHER BECAUSE THE NEGATIVE IS WHAT'S KEP IN THE MIDDLE OF THEM.
THIS HOME IS PROTECTED.
WHAT IS THE LADY'S NAME, PLEASE? -ANN.
-THAT WAS HURT.
-YES, ANN.
-OKAY.
THIS HOME IS PROTECTED.
ALL THAT WAS IS NO MORE.
LET GO.
LEAVE MISS ANN ALONE.
THE ONE LITTLE GIRL THAT RAN THROUGH HERE, SHE JUST HUGGED HER SISTER.
SHE'S GOT HER.
SHE JUST FELL TO HER KNEES.
REST IN PEACE, SARAH.
FIND YOUR SISTERS.
BE TOGETHER.
YOU GIRLS ARE RELEASED.
YOUR FAMILY IS RELEASED.
THEY'RE GONE.
THEY'RE ALL GONE.
YOU FEEL IT, DON'T YOU? --IT'S EASIER TO BREATHE.
MM-HMM.
I KNOW THIS SOUNDS STRANGE, BUT THE ENTIRE ENERGY OF THE MUSEUM SHIFTED.
IT WAS ALMOST LIKE WHATEVER THA DARK ENERGY WAS IN THE BASEMENT, IT WAS SOMEHOW ATTACHED TO THE GIRLS, AND D WHEN THEY LEF AND CROSSED OVER, SO DID IT.
ALL RIGHT.
WELL, HOPEFULLY, THIS BRINGS WHATEVER THAT NEGATIVE PRESENCE WAS, JUST BRINGS IT BACK DOWN.
MOST DEFINITELY.
WHO WOULD HAVE GUESSED THA WITH ALL THE MEN WHO DIED HERE, THE SPIRITS HAUNTING THE MUSEUM ARE TWO LITTLE GIRLS? IT'S 3:33 A.
M.
, AND WE'RE OFFICIALLY WRAPPING OUR NIGHT INVESTIGATION AT THE JOHN BROWN WAX MUSEUM.
[ CELLPHONE RINGS .]
-HEY, NICK.
-HI, ANN.
IS EVERYTHING OKAY WITH THE ARM? I MEAN, HOW LONG DO YOU HAVE UNTIL IT'S OUT OF THE SLING? ONLY A COUPLE MORE WEEKS, A LITTLE BIT MORE REHAB, AND I'LL BE BACK TO ANN AGAIN.
I HEAR YOU WENT BY THE MUSEUM.
DID IT FEEL ANY DIFFERENT? I THINK SO.
I THINK IT'S LESS OPPRESSIVE, AND I THINK I FEEL COMFORTABLE THERE NOW.
THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING YOU ALL HAVE DONE.
Saint: IT'S STILL A LITTLE UNSETTLING THAT THIS NEGATIVE PRESENCE JUST DISAPPEARED BEFORE WE COULD EVEN FIGURE OU WHAT IT REALLY WAS.
Hartley: AT LEAST IT'S GONE, FOR NOW ANYWAY.
[ SIREN CHIRPS .]
LOOKS LIKE WE'RE BEING PULLED OVER BY MIKE.
IS THAT KING? THAT'S KING.
HEY.
HOW'S IT GOING? -WHAT'S GOING ON? -HOW'S IT GOING, MIKE? -GOOD.
GOOD.
King: I JUST WANTED TO TELL YOU THAT I DID REACH OU TO HARPERS FERRY PD, AND THEY DON'T HAVE ANYTHING ELSE COMING IN.
-REALLY? GOOD.
-WOW.
WELL, NOT SO FAST.
I HAD ANOTHER REPORT OF SOME STUFF GOING ON IN SHARPSBURG, JUST ACROSS THE RIVER AND RIGHT ALONG THE RIVER THERE.
-ARE YOU SERIOUS? -YEAH.
SHOULD WE GO OUT THERE? -ABSOLUTELY.
-DID YOU GUYS UNPACK YET? IT SOUNDS LIKE WE'RE GOING TO BE HERE A LITTLE LONGER.
