THIS IS "HAUNTED TOWNS.
" -- Captions by VITAC -- CAPTIONS PAID FOR BY DISCOVERY COMMUNICATIONS GETTYSBURG, THE SITE OF THE BLOODIEST BATTLE OF THE AMERICAN CIVIL WAR AND ONE OF THE MOST HAUNTED TOWNS IN THE COUNTRY.
OVER 160,000 UNION AND CONFEDERATE TROOPS CONVERGED ON THIS SMALL PENNSYLVANIA TOWN IN WHAT'S WIDELY CONSIDERED THE TURNING POIN OF THE WAR BETWEEN THE STATES.
THE BATTLE TOOK PLACE IN ONLY THREE DAYS, FROM JULY 1st TO JULY 3, 1863.
AFTER A HOT START BY THE CONFEDERATE ARMY, THE TIDE TURNED, AND THE REBELS WERE DEFEATED AND FORCED TO WITHDRAW.
CASUALTIES WERE HIGH ON BOTH SIDES, FIELDS LITTERED WITH THE BODIES OF DEAD AND WOUNDED SOLDIERS.
FOR THE LAST 150 YEARS, THIS SMALL TOWN HAS BEEN OVERRUN BY THE SOULS OF DEAD AMERICANS, BOTH UNION AND CONFEDERATE.
GETTYSBURG AND THE SURROUNDING FARMS ARE FILLED WITH REPORTS OF EVERYTHING FROM GHOSTLY APPARITIONS TO PHANTOM BATTLE CRIES.
[INDISTINCT SHOUTING.]
OUR FIRST STOP IS THE PARROT CAFE IN DOWNTOWN GETTYSBURG TO COME UP WITH A BATTLE PLAN OF OUR OWN.
NICE LITTLE TOWN, MAN.
IT KIND OF ALMOS REMINDS ME OF HOME A LITTLE BI IN THIS SQUARE.
IT DOES, DOESN'T IT.
WELL, GUYS, WE FINALLY MADE IT, GETTYSBURG.
WE'VE BEEN WANTING TO COME HERE FOR YEARS.
THIS IS ONE OF THE MOS PARANORMALLY ACTIVE TOWNS IN ALL OF THE COUNTRY.
THE BATTLE OF GETTYSBURG TOOK ALMOST 51,000 LIVES.
MM-HMM.
I MEAN, IT WAS THE BLOODIES BATTLE ON AMERICAN SOIL EVER.
THINK OF ALL THE PAIN AND MISERY PACKED INTO THOSE THREE DAYS.
AND, YOU KNOW, IT WASN'T JUS THE SOLDIERS WHO WERE SUFFERING.
I MEAN, THERE WERE APPROXIMATELY 2,400 PEOPLE LIVING HERE AT THE TIME, AND THERE WERE 160,000 TROOPS THAT CAME IN HERE.
WOW.
THEY WERE TAKING THEIR FARMS.
THEY WERE TAKING THEIR RESOURCES.
THERE WAS NO COMPENSATION.
IT WAS BAD FOR EVERYBODY.
THE THING IS, EVERYBODY COMES IN HEARING ALL THE PAIN, THE MISERY THAT HAPPENED IN A SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME, AND THEY ALWAYS WAN TO HIT THE SAME PLACES, THE BATTLEFIELD, THAT KIND OF STUFF.
WELL, I THINK WE NEED TO DO IT THE TWC WAY, HIT IT A LITTLE DIFFERENT ANGLE -MM-HMM.
-BECAUSE YOU THINK, A LOT OF THESE GUYS DID NOT DIE ON THE BATTLEFIELD.
THEY DIED IN MAKESHIF HOSPITALS ALL OVER THIS CITY BECAUSE, IF YOU HAD A HOUSE AND THERE WAS ROOM IN IT, IT WAS A HOSPITAL FOR BOTH SIDES.
SO I REALLY THINK WE SHOULD FOCUS OUR INVESTIGATION RIGHT THERE.
I REALLY WANT TO INVESTIGATE STEWART FARMS.
I MEAN, THAT PLACE, THE ROAD LEADING TO I WAS THE ROUTE THAT THE CONFEDERATES USED TO RETREAT.
IT WAS CONVERTED INTO A HOSPITAL FOR THE SOLDIERS, AND I HEAR THERE'S STILL A LOT GOING ON THERE FROM A PARANORMAL STANCE, IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN.
Brannon: I THINK THIS INVESTIGATION WOULD BE, LIKE, THE MECCA FOR AN OPPORTUNITY FOR TRYING SOME TRIGGER OBJECTS, YOU KNOW, OBJECTS LIKE WAR MEMORABILIA, MUSKETS, BULLETS, AND THINGS.
THEY CAN BE USED TO HELP THE SPIRITS MANIFEST.
Porter: THERE'S A PLACE RIGH AROUND THE CORNER HERE CALLED MASON DIXON MILITARIA, AND I HEAR THEY HAVE GO THE BEST GAME IN TOWN FOR ANY TYPE OF CIVIL WAR MEMORABILIA ANYWHERE, AND I BET YOU WE CAN FIND SOME TRIGGER OBJECTS THERE.
I BET WE COULD.
I WOULDN'T BE SURPRISED IF THEY SAW SOME SPIRIT ACTIVITY IN THERE TOO, I MEAN, A STORE FILLED WITH TRIGGER ITEMS.
-YEAH.
-ALL RIGHT, FELLAS.
LOOKS LIKE WE GOT A PLAN.
SO WHAT DO YOU SAY WE GO GE THIS PARANORMAL PARTY STARTED? -LET'S DO IT.
-ALL RIGHT.
ALL RIGHTY, THEN.
I THINK I'M FULLY CAFFEINATED AT THIS POINT.
HEY, BRANNON, YOU WANT TO GET THE BILL? -WHAT? -THAT'S THE NEWBIE'S JOB.
RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER.
HERE WE ARE, BOYS.
THIS IS IT.
AGE BEFORE BEAUTY.
-OH, WOW.
-MAN, DANG, LOOK AT THIS.
Chris: OH, MY GOODNESS.
DUDE, WE HI THE TREASURE TROVE HERE.
Porter: THEY JUST GO EVERYTHING IN HERE.
LOOK AT THIS.
-WOW.
-OH, MAN.
-SEE THE NUMBERS ON IT? -HI, GUYS.
HOW YOU DOING? -HEY.
HOW'S IT GOING? -WHAT'S UP, MAN? -GOOD.
NICE TO MEET YOU.
Porter: LISTEN, WE'RE THE TENNESSEE WRAITH CHASERS.
YOU KNOW, WE GO AROUND, WE DO PARANORMAL INVESTIGATIONS.
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR ARE TRIGGER OBJECTS, SOMETHING THAT WOULD BE FAMILIAR TO THE SPIRITS THAT MIGHT BE LINGERING.
NOW, THIS DRESS, I'M SITTING HERE, LOOKING AT IT.
IS THIS BLOOD? Tony: THAT IS BLOOD.
THAT IS CONFEDERATE OR UNION BLOOD.
WOW.
REALLY? AND SHE WAS JUST A LADY WHO WAS JUST HOME.
THE BATTLE HAPPENED TO COME TO HER FRONT DOORSTEP, AND SHE DID WHATEVER SHE COULD TO HELP OUT THE SOLDIERS.
THE GUNS YOU HAVE RIGHT THERE ARE ABSOLUTELY AMAZING.
YEP.
THIS RIFLE RIGHT HERE WOULD HAVE STOPPED THE CONFEDERATE ADVANCE ON THE VERY FIRST DAY AT GETTYSBURG.
YOU KNOW, SO IF ANYTHING IS GONNA HAVE ENERGY TO IT -YEAH.
-WOW.
CAN WE SHOOT IT? I THINK WE CAN WORK THAT OUT.
WE LIKE THINGS THAT GO BOOM IN THIS TOWN, YOU KNOW? WELL, I MEAN, THE REASON BEING, YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES, WE'LL LIKE TO USE AUDIO TRIGGERS AS WELL LIKE FIRE A GUN OR USE SOME KIND OF SOUND TO GIVE THESE SPIRITS SOMETHING THA THEY WERE FAMILIAR WITH BACK IN THEIR TIME, YOU KNOW.
Doogie: YOU GOT ALL THIS STUFF IN HERE.
I MEAN, DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING THAT GOES ON IN THIS PLACE? WE HAVE QUITE A BIT OF ACTIVITY.
IN FACT, I HAVE ONE OF MY EMPLOYEES HERE THAT ACTUALLY HAS A COUPLE OF EXPERIENCES IF YOU DON'T MIND TALKING TO HIM.
-OH, ABSOLUTELY.
-SURE.
Porter: SO YOU'VE HAD INTERACTION HERE OR SEEN STUFF HERE.
OH, YES.
I'VE BEEN TOUCHED ON THE BACK.
I'VE HEARD FOOTSTEPS, CONVERSATIONS IN THE BACK.
BUT THERE'S NOBODY THERE.
WE ACTUALLY HAD A WOMAN IN PERIOD DRESS COME OUT INTO THE SHOP, MOSTLY SEE-THROUGH, AND THEN, BOOM, SHE WAS GONE.
-WOW.
-THAT SOUNDS RIGHT UP OUR ALLY.
SO THIS BUILDING WAS HERE DURING THE WAR.
-YES.
-OH, YES.
THIS WAS A CIVIL WAR HOSPITAL DURING THE BATTLE.
REALLY? IN FACT, THERE'S ACTUALLY A CANNONBALL IN THE SIDE OF THE BUILDING.
DO YOU MIND TAKING ME OUT THERE TO TAKE A LOOK AT IT? -WOULD LOVE TO.
-THESE GUYS CAN SIT IN HERE AND TALK ABOUT THE GHOSTS THA HAUNT THIS BUILDING WITH YOU.
-I WANT TO SEE THAT CANNONBALL.
-LET'S DO IT.
YEAH, SO THE CANNONBALL IS ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE WALL.
-RIGHT.
-AND IT'S RIGHT UP THERE.
-WOW.
THAT'S PRETTY COOL.
-YEAH.
SO THIS IS WHERE ALL THE ACTION WAS GOING ON.
RIGHT HERE.
THIS IS THE CENTER.
MOST PEOPLE THINK THA IT'S ALL OUT IN THE FIELDS, BUT A TON OF IT TOOK PLACE RIGHT WHERE WE'RE STANDING TODAY.
OH, WOW.
THE DAVID WILLS HOUSE RIGHT OVER HERE, THIS IS WHERE LINCOLN STAYED WHILE HE CAME INTO TOWN TO DELIVER THE FAMOUS GETTYSBURG ADDRESS.
-REALLY? -YEAH.
THIS ROAD RIGHT OVER HERE ACTUALLY IS THE ROAD THAT CONFEDERATES TOOK TO GET OUT OF HERE, ALL PILED INTO THESE WAGONS THAT STRETCHED OVER 18 MILES LONG.
WOW.
SO THESE PEOPLE WERE KIND OF PILED ON EACH OTHER, YOU THINK? THEY'RE PILED RIGH ON TOP OF EACH OTHER.
-GOSH.
-YEAH.
IT WAS HORRIBLE.
Sean: THIS SEEMS TO BE THE HOTTEST PART OF THE STORE FOR SOME REASON.
WE ACTUALLY CAUGHT A WOMAN IN CIVIL WAR DRESS COMING OU TO ABOUT THIS AREA, HESITATED FOR A SECOND, SECOND AND A HALF, AND, BAM, YOU COULD BARELY SEE HER LEAVE.
YEAH, SO WE'RE GETTING A LITTLE HIGH RIGHT HERE, SO IF YOU'RE HAVING ACTIVITY RIGHT HERE -MM-HMM.
-LET'S SEE HOW FAR THIS GOES.
LOOK AT THAT.
CONVENIENTLY, IN THIS STREAM OF WHERE THINGS ARE BEING SEEN.
YOU GET UP HERE, IT STARTS DISSIPATING, SO IT'S REALLY KIND OF LOW TO THE GROUND.
Chris: WONDER IF THERE'S SOMETHING DOWN THERE.
YOU GUYS GOT A BASEMENT, RIGHT? -YES.
WE DO.
-OKAY.
Doogie: OH, WOW.
DUDE, THIS IS HUGE.
IT'S A WHOLE DIFFEREN PLACE DOWN HERE.
KIND OF CREEPY.
TONY SEES SOMEBODY DOWN THERE, MOVING.
REALLY? TONY DOESN'T LIKE TO COME DOWN HERE A LOT.
SO BASICALLY, IF ANYTHING NEEDS TO BE DONE IN THE BASEMENT, IT DOESN'T GET DONE, RIGHT? I'LL FLIP THE LIGHT ON AND TAKE A QUICK LOOK, AND THEN, FAST, IT GETS DONE FAST.
SO WHAT DO WE GO OVER HERE, SEAN? Sean: THERE WAS A CIVIL WAR BED THERE.
THERE'S ACTUALLY A VIEWING CASKET RIGHT THERE.
OH, WOW.
WHO'S GONNA LAY IN IT TONIGHT? BRANNON.
I'M GOOD WITH IT.
WHAT IS THIS THING RIGHT HERE? THAT IS A CHILD'S EMBALMING TABLE FROM THE CIVIL WAR.
WE'VE SEEN SHADOWS BACK HERE.
WE'VE HEARD NOISES.
THAT'S THE ORIGINAL ENTRANCE TO THE STREET.
REALLY? SO THAT'S THE ORIGINAL DOORWAY THAT EVERYBODY, SOLDIERS, WOUNDED, WOULD HAVE COME DOWN.
PROBABLY THE SCENE OF MOS ACTIVITY DURING THE BATTLE.
YEAH, WELL, THAT COULD EXPLAIN A WHOLE LOT.
THESE PEOPLE MOVING IN AND OUT OF THIS AREA AND JUST THIS STUFF HERE, I MEAN, IF THERE'S STUFF ATTACHED TO IT, I MEAN, IT MAY BE HANGING AROUND DOWN HERE.
-RIGHT.
-THAT'S KIND OF CREEPY.
SPEAKING OF, DO YOU MIND IF WE INVESTIGATE THIS PLACE TONIGHT? NO, ABSOLUTELY NOT.
I'D LOVE TO KNOW IF THERE'S ANY ATTACHMEN TO ANY OF THESE OBJECTS.
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
I APPRECIATE IT, MAN.
-ANY TIME.
-I APPRECIATE IT, BUDDY.
-I APPRECIATE YOU COMING IN.
-ALL RIGHT.
YOU WANT TO GO THAT WAY, SO IF SOMETHING JUMPS OUT, IT DON'T SCARE US? -YOU GOT IT.
[ LAUGHTER .]
Chris: AFTER THE SHOP CLOSES FOR THE NIGHT, WE BEGIN SETTING UP FOR OUR INVESTIGATION.
I THINK OUR TWO LONG RUNS ARE GONNA BE DOWNSTAIRS.
WE'RE LOOKING TO MAKE CONTAC WITH ANY CIVIL WAR-ERA SPIRITS THAT TRIGGER ITEMS CAN PROVOKE.
WE'RE FOCUSING ON UPSTAIRS WHERE THE FEMALE APPARITION WAS WITNESSED AND DOWNSTAIRS IN THE BASEMEN THAT TONY AND SEAN HAVE BEEN CHASED OUT OF.
WHERE CAN WE PUT THIS WHERE WE'RE GONNA HAVE ENOUGH CORD? WE COULD MAYBE DO SOMETHING LIKE THIS.
[ THUMP .]
Doogie: WHAT WAS THAT? SOMEBODY DOWN THERE? WHAT WAS THAT? NOBODY DOWN HERE? Chris: WE'RE IN SOUTHERN PENNSYLVANIA, THE SITE OF THE MOST HORRIFIC CLASH IN AMERICAN HISTORY, THE BATTLE OF GETTYSBURG.
MORE THAN 51,000 UNION AND CONFEDERATE SOLDIERS LOST THEIR LIVES DURING THE BATTLE, FOREVER STAINING THIS SMALL TOWN.
TO THIS DAY, THE ONCE BLOOD-SOAKED STREETS AND FIELDS REMAIN LITTERED WITH THE SOULS OF THOSE DEAD SOLDIERS WHO HAVE HAUNTED GETTYSBURG FOR THE PAST 150 YEARS.
WE'RE PREPPING FOR TONIGHT'S INVESTIGATION AT THE MASON DIXON MILITARIA SHOP, HOME TO AN EPIC COLLECTION OF CIVIL WAR MEMORABILIA AND A PERFECT LOCATION FOR OUR TRIGGER-OBJEC EXPERIMENT.
WE COULD MAYBE DO SOMETHING LIKE THIS.
[ THUMP .]
Doogie: WHAT WAS THAT? SOMEBODY DOWN THERE? NOBODY DOWN HERE? SOMETHING WAS MOVING DOWN HERE.
[ THUMP .]
[ THUMP .]
EXACTLY IN THIS SPOT THAT THEY SAID EVERYTHING WENT ON.
I WONDER IF IT WAS THIS BED OR SOMETHING JUST MOVED.
YEAH, DUDE, IT HAPPENS EVERY DAY.
I MEAN, LIKE, THIS IS NO JOKE.
[BLEEP.]
HAPPENS.
PAPERS FLY OFF THE SHELVES UPSTAIRS.
THERE IS [BLEEP.]
HERE.
YOU CAN PROVOKE IT.
DOESN'T MATTER.
IT'S GONNA COME OUT.
WE RARELY ENCOUNTER SPIRITS DURING THE SETUP, BUT THIS BASEMENT IS ONE OF THE MOST HAUNTED SPOTS IN THE SHOP.
TONIGHT, BRANNON IS ACTUALLY GONNA WEAR ONE OF OUR TRIGGER OBJECTS, THE UNIFORM OF A UNION SOLDIER.
WE'RE GONNA PUT HIM DOWN HERE AND SEE IF WE CAN GET ANY MORE ACTIVITY.
ALL SOLDIERS TO ARMS! -OH, GOSH.
-[ LAUGHS .]
Doogie: YOU'RE AUTHENTIC.
THAT'S FOR SURE.
SO WE'VE GOT A PERFECT SPO FOR YOU -- CASKET.
WE'RE USING TRIGGER OBJECTS ASSOCIATED WITH THE SOLDIERS TO FIND OU WHICH ITEMS GENERATE THE STRONGEST RESPONSE.
ONE LAST THING UPSTAIRS, WE'RE GONNA USE THE BLOOD-STAINED DRESS AS A TRIGGER OBJECT TO REACH OU TO THE TOWNSPEOPLE WHO HELPED THE WOUNDED SOLDIERS AFTER THE BATTLE.
WELL, THIS IS WHERE THE APPARITION WAS SEEN, SO MAN: Hey, Mike.
AND OUR SURVEILLANCE EXPERT, MIKE G.
, WILL BE OUTSIDE, WATCHING ALL OF US ON CAMERA.
ALL RIGHT.
GOOD TO GO.
LET'S GO LIGHTS OU AND DO THIS THING.
DOING IS WE'RE GONNA SET UP A STATIC CAM HERE ON THE DRESS THAT HAS THE LASER GRID ON IT.
AND IF ANYTHING GETS CLOSE TO IT WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR IS ANY MOVEMENT IN THE LASER.
ALL RIGHT.
HERE I GO.
WE'RE USING BRANNON AS KIND OF A HUMAN TRIGGER TO SEE IF THEY'LL INTERACT WITH HIM.
YOU KNOW, HE'S IN A UNION UNIFORM.
HE'S IN A COFFIN.
YOU READY TO GO IN? -YEP.
LET'S DO THIS THING, MAN.
SINCE BRANNON WON'T BE ABLE TO SEE ANYTHING IN THAT COFFIN, WE HAVE A CAMERA SET UP OUTSIDE TO CATCH ANY ACTIVITY THAT HAPPENS.
ALL RIGHT.
HAVE FUN, KID.
Brannon: ALL RIGHT.
SO ANY SPIRITS THAT ARE DOWN HERE, MY NAME IS BRANNON.
I'M A FEDERAL SOLDIER IN HERE.
IF YOU'RE UNION OR CONFEDERATE, CAN YOU SAY SOMETHING THROUGH THAT DEVICE BESIDE ME? GIVE ME SOME KIND OF SIGN, WHO YOU ARE OR WHAT YOU ARE AND WHY YOU'RE HERE.
Chris: WHILE BRANNON'S CONDUCTING A SOLO SESSION IN THE BASEMENT, PORTER, DOOGIE, AND I ARE UPSTAIRS, SETTING UP AT THE MAIN COUNTER.
WHAT DO YOU SAY WE START OUT UP HERE WHERE THEY SEE THE LITTLE APPARITION OVER HERE.
-YEAH.
-MAYBE DO AN EVP SESSION.
THAT WILL WORK.
WHAT WE'LL DO IS GO AHEAD AND IF YOU WANT TO TALK TO US, TALK TO US INTO THIS BLACK BOX RIGHT HERE.
CALL I THE SPOOKY DICTIONARY.
THAT WAY, YOU CAN GO INTO I AND FIND WHATEVER WORD YOU WANT TO SAY TO US.
CAN YOU TELL US YOUR NAME? Chris: WERE YOU A SOLDIER? OR WERE YOU A CIVILIAN? WE KNOW THERE WAS A BIG BATTLE THAT WAS HERE.
[ DEVICE BEEPING .]
WHOA.
MAYBE YOU WERE PAR OF THAT BATTLE.
WERE YOU INJURED? WERE YOU SHOT? ALL RIGHT.
LET'S SEE WHAT IT SAYS.
WERE YOU INJURED? WERE YOU SHOT? All: YES.
SHOT? -YES.
-OH, MY GOD.
OH, WOW.
DO YOU HAVE A LIMB THAT WAS AMPUTATED? -WHAT? -WHAT? TRYING TO CLARIFY IF YOUR NAME IS MIKE OR IF YOU'RE REFERRING TO OUR MIKE.
AND IF YOU'RE REFERRING TO OUR MIKE, CAN YOU GIVE US THE WORD VAN? WHAT? YOU WANT US TO GO IN THE CLOSET? IS THAT CLOSET WHERE YOU GO AND HIDE SOMETIMES? IS THIS WHERE YOU LIKE TO BE? CAN YOU LET US KNOW IF YOU'RE HERE WITH US? WHOA.
OH, MY GOD, DUDE.
-WHAT? -THIS STOOL JUST MOVED.
-BRAVE? -BRAVE? BRAVE VAN? DID IT SAY VAN? -YEAH.
-ARE YOU SERIOUS? -REALLY? -YEAH, YEAH.
-IT SAYS VAN? -YEAH.
PORTER, WHAT DID YOU ASK IT EARLIER? I SAID, "CAN YOU SAY VAN IF YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT MIKE?" HE JUST SAID VAN, V-A-N.
OH, MY GOD.
Chris to Mike.
GO AHEAD.
THIS OVILUS SAID YOUR NAME.
THEN PORTER ASKED IT, IF IT'S TALKING ABOUT YOU, TO SAY VAN, AND IT SAID VAN.
SO SOMETHING OU THERE LIKES YOU.
IT'S PROBABLY THE LADY GHOST.
[ LAUGHTER .]
-OF COURSE IT IS.
OF COURSE.
Brannon: HEY, GUYS, CAN YOU TELL HIM TO COME DOWN HERE AND DO SOMETHING? You got anything down there? NO, MAN.
IT'S PRETTY QUIET.
I'M HEARING A LITTLE COMMOTION FROM UP THERE.
ARE YOU GUYS GETTING A LOT? YOU COULD SAY THAT.
YEAH.
YOU COULD SAY THAT.
THERE'S A GUY DOWNSTAIRS.
HE'S IN A UNION UNIFORM.
CAN YOU GO DOWN THERE AND DO SOMETHING TO HIM, MANIPULATE HIS EQUIPMENT? SOUNDS KIND OF WEIRD.
[ LAUGHTER .]
Brannon: CAN YOU TALK THROUGH THAT DEVICE THAT'S BESIDE MY EAR? CAN YOU SAY ANYTHING AT ALL? Chris: WE'RE SURROUNDED BY AN ENTIRE STORE FULL OF ARTIFACTS FROM DIFFERENT TIME PERIODS.
SO BASICALLY, TO HONE IN OUR INVESTIGATION, WE REALLY NEED TO FOCUS ON THAT ONE TRIGGER OBJEC THAT'S SPECIFIC TO THE CIVIL WAR.
WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THIS? YOU GOT A BUILDING FULL OF ITEMS THAT ARE CONNECTED TO THE WAR.
-OH! -WHOA! MY GOSH.
Chris: WE'RE AT THE SITE OF THE BLOODIEST CONFLIC EVER ON AMERICAN SOIL, THE BATTLE OF GETTYSBURG.
THE LIVES OF OVER 51,000 MEN WERE LOS DURING THIS EPIC THREE-DAY BLOOD BATH.
AND TODAY, THEIR SPIRITS STILL HAUNT THE STREETS AND FIELDS OF THIS HISTORIC VILLAGE.
WE'RE INVESTIGATING THE MASON DIXON MILITARIA, HOME TO A STAGGERING COLLECTION OF CIVIL WAR MEMORABILIA, INCLUDING A WARTIME CANNONBALL THAT'S EMBEDDED IN THE OUTSIDE WALL.
THE BUILDING WAS IN THE HEAR OF THE BATTLE IN DOWNTOWN GETTYSBURG, SO IT'S THE PERFECT LOCATION FOR OUR TRIGGER-OBJEC EXPERIMENT.
I JUST WANT TO SAY, I HAVE ALL RESPECT FOR THE SOLDIERS HERE.
Chris: DRESSED AS A UNION SOLDIER, BRANNON'S HOLDING A SOLO SESSION IN THE BASEMEN WHILE PORTER, DOOGIE, AND I ARE UPSTAIRS IN THE MAIN SHOP.
WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THIS? YOU'VE GOT A BUILDING FULL OF ITEMS THAT ARE CONNECTED TO THE WAR.
-OH! -WHOA! Chris: MY GOSH! THAT WAS DIRECT.
Chris: BEFORE WE GO GET BRANNON, YOU GUYS WANT TO HI ANOTHER SPOT UP HERE? WANT TO GO BACK HERE WHERE THE DRESS IS? SEE IF ANYTHING HAPPENS WITH THIS LASER GRID.
SO NOW, WE'RE GONNA TRY OUR LUCK WITH THIS BLOOD-STAINED DRESS.
IT WAS WORN BY A LOCAL WOMAN WHO WAS HELPING WOUNDED SOLDIERS.
SEE IF WE GET AS BIG A REACTION TO THAT AS WE DID THE GUN.
Doogie: OKAY.
SEAN AND TONY TOLD US ABOUT SEEING AN APPARITION OF A WOMAN RIGHT IN FRONT OF US WHERE THE DRESS IS AT.
IS THAT YOU THAT WALKS THROUGH HERE? CAN YOU GIVE US YOUR NAME? CAN YOU LET US KNOW, IS THAT YOUR DRESS? IS THAT YOUR BLOOD ON THE DRESS? CAN YOU TELL US THE NAME OF THE PERSON WHO WORE THE DRESS? CHECK IT.
-YEAH.
IS THAT YOUR DRESS? IS THAT YOUR BLOOD ON THE DRESS? CAN YOU TELL US THE NAME OF THE PERSON WHO WORE THE DRESS? -HMM? -WHAT? DID THAT JUST SAY WHAT I THINK? Porter: TRY IT AGAIN.
CAN YOU TELL US THE NAME OF THE PERSON WHO WORE THE DRESS? -WHOA.
-THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT IT SAID.
-THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT IT SAID.
-WOW.
-F YOU.
-YES, IT DID.
-BOOGITY.
-IT JUST SAID, "F YOU," LIKE, GROWLY "F YOU.
" -BOOGITY.
-DUDE.
THAT WASN'T EXACTLY THE REACTION WE WERE EXPECTING.
I MEAN, THAT WASN'T A COMMON TERM USED DURING THE CIVIL WAR, SO WE'RE NOT SURE IF IT'S REACTING TO THE DRESS, BUT IT'S DEFINITELY NOT HAPPY THAT WE'RE HERE.
I MEAN, THERE'S SO MANY DIFFERENT TYPES OF TRIGGER OBJECTS.
MM-HMM.
WE'VE GOT, YOU KNOW, VIETNAM-ERA STUFF.
WE'VE GOT WORLD WAR II.
YOU KNOW, WE GOT STUFF FROM GETTYSBURG.
WE COULD BE TALKING TO A WHOLE CROWD OF PEOPLE.
IN ORDER TO FOCUS OUR INVESTIGATION, WE'RE REALLY GONNA HAVE TO MOVE TO A DIFFERENT AREA THAT ISN'T SO CONTAMINATED WITH OTHER TRIGGER OBJECTS.
BRANNON HAS BEEN HOLDING A SOLO SESSION DOWN IN THE BASEMENT, WHICH IS ACTUALLY A CLEANER AREA.
BUT SO FAR, HE HASN'T HAD ANY LUCK COMMUNICATING WITH SPIRITS.
WE'RE GONNA JOIN HIM DOWN IN THE BASEMENT, SEE IF WE CAN SPARK UP ANY ACTIVITY.
ONE THING WE HAVEN' TRIED IS PLAYING SOME SORT OF MUSIC OR BATTLE SOUNDS.
THAT'S TRUE.
WE CAN TRY THAT AND SEE IF THAT ELICITS ANY RESPONSE.
-I'M DOWN.
-WE CAN DO IT.
WANT ME TO SEE IF I CAN PULL SOMETHING UP ON MY PHONE? YEAH.
[GUNFIRE, MEN SCREAMING.]
THIS IS A CIVIL WAR BATTLEFIELD SOUND.
LOOK, K2.
-IT'S IN YOUR HAND.
-FLASHLIGHT IS COMING ON IN MY HAND, AND I'M NOT EVEN -- -REALLY? -YEAH.
-HOLY COW.
-K2 IS GOING CRAZY IN HERE.
WHOA.
WHEN YOU LEFT BATTLE, DID YOU COME DOWN THROUGH HERE? I WOULD LIKE TO TRY TO GE A CLEAR ANSWER FROM YOU.
ARE YOU A UNION SOLDIER? [ DEVICE BEEPING .]
-WHOA.
WHOA, LOOK AT THAT.
LOOK AT THAT -- 36.
-WHAT? -WHOA, WHOA! LOOK, 15.
4.
WHAT'S GOING ON? HEY, BRANNON, YOU GOT MY JACKET? UH, NO.
WERE YOU NOT JUS PULLING ON MY JACKET? -WHERE DID YOU FEEL IT AT? -RIGHT HERE.
NOPE, I AIN'T.
REALLY? THERE'S A LITTLE BLACK BOX HERE, THE OVILUS.
CAN YOU MAKE A WORD COME OUT OF THERE, KIND OF TELL US WHAT YOU ARE, WHO YOU ARE? DUDE, SOMETHING IS, LIKE, TUGGING ON MY JACKET.
ARE YOU -- I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING.
I THOUGHT CHRIS WAS SCREWING WITH ME, BUT HIS HAND IS ON HIS HIP.
COMBINING THE SOLDIER'S UNIFORM WITH THE BATTLE SOUNDS IS MAKING THE BASEMEN EXPLODE WITH ACTIVITY.
WE'LL DO A REAL-TIME ON HERE REAL QUICK.
LET'S EACH ALL JUST ASK WHATEVER QUESTION YOU HAVE ON YOUR MIND.
THEN, WE'LL SEE IF IT SAYS ANYTHING 'CAUSE THAT'S ONE THING WE HAVEN'T DONE DOWN HERE YE IS DO A REAL QUICK BURST SESSION.
-MM-HMM.
-SO DID YOU FIGHT FOR THE UNION OR THE CONFEDERATE ARMY IN THE BATTLE OF GETTYSBURG? ALL RIGHT.
CAN YOU LET US KNOW YOUR NAME? ALL RIGHT.
WHO WAS THE LEADER THAT STAYED IN THE BUILDING ACROSS THE WAY THAT ADDRESSED THE COUNTRY AT THE END OF THE WAR? LET'S CHECK AND SEE IF WE GOT AN ANSWER REAL QUICK.
WHO WAS THE LEADER THAT STAYED IN THE BUILDING ACROSS THE WAY THAT ADDRESSED THE COUNTRY AT THE END OF THE WAR? -WHOA! -OH! -OH, MY GOD! DID YOU HEAR THAT? -HOLY CRAP! Chris: WE'RE IN GETTYSBURG, SITE OF THE DEADLIEST BATTLE OF THE CIVIL WAR.
THE SPIRITS OF DEAD UNION AND CONFEDERATE SOLDIERS HAVE HAUNTED THIS TOWN AND ITS SURROUNDING FARMS FOR CENTURIES.
WE'RE CAMPED OUT IN THE BASEMEN OF THE MASON DIXON MILITARIA, HOME OF AN EPIC COLLECTION OF CIVIL WAR MEMORABILIA AND A HOT SPO OF SPIRIT ACTIVITY.
THIS IS THE FIRST NIGHT OF OUR TRIGGER-OBJECT EXPERIMENT, AND WE JUST HI THE PARANORMAL JACKPOT.
WHO WAS THE LEADER THAT STAYED IN THE BUILDING ACROSS THE WAY THAT ADDRESSED THE COUNTRY AT THE END OF THE WAR? Doogie: ALL RIGHT.
WHO WAS THE LEADER THAT STAYED IN THE BUILDING ACROSS THE WAY THAT ADDRESSED THE COUNTRY AT THE END OF THE WAR? -WHOA! -OH! -OH, MY GOD! DID YOU HEAR THAT? -HOLY CRAP! -WHOA! -OH! OH, MY GOD! -ABRAHAM LINCOLN.
-ABE LINCOLN.
-OOH.
-I TOLD YOU.
-DUDE, OKAY.
THAT'S -- -DUDE, I GOT CHILLS RIGHT NOW.
-THAT'S -- -THAT'S AWESOME.
I GOT SWEAT RUNNING OFF MY HEAD RIGHT NOW.
I MEAN, SUPER INTELLIGENT -YEP.
I MEAN, 'CAUSE WE'VE NO EVEN MENTIONED THE FULL NAME, ABRAHAM LINCOLN.
I'VE SAID LINCOLN ONCE BUT NOT ABRAHAM LINCOLN.
-I KNOW.
-AND IT'S THERE.
MIKEY G.
WE JUST HAD THE HECK SCARED OUT OF US.
-WHAT HAPPENED? -WHAT DIDN'T HAPPEN? WHY DON'T YOU PLAY IT FOR HIM? END OF THE WAR? -OH! [ LAUGHTER .]
WHAT DO YOU THINK IT SAID? -THAT'S LINCOLN.
-YEAH.
Chris: YEAH, MAN.
I'M FLOORED BY THE WHOLE THING.
I MEAN, TO GET THA KIND OF INTERACTION UPSTAIRS AND DOWNSTAIRS.
-MM-HMM.
OH, YEAH.
WE ALSO GOT A "F YOU" EARLIER.
Porter: AND IT WAS A DEEP, GRUMBLY, MEAN, "F YOU.
" -HMM? -WHAT? YEAH, NOT TO MENTION YOUR NAME.
-WHAT? -OH.
AND THEN WE SAID, YOU KNOW, "ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT MIKE OUT IN THE VAN, OR ARE YOU TALKING ABOU IS IT YOUR NAME, MIKE?" CAN YOU GIVE US THE WORD VAN? Doogie: BRAVE VAN? -DID IT SAY VAN? -YEAH, YEAH, YEAH.
-IT SAYS VAN? -YEAH.
FREAKING ME OUT.
Chris: DID YOU SEE OR HEAR ANYTHING OUT HERE? -I DID NOT.
-ALL RIGHT, BOYS.
WHAT DO YOU THINK, PACK IT UP AND HEAD DOWN THE ROAD, GET SOME SLEEP? GET SOME SHUT-EYE AND HIT IT TOMORROW.
Porter: LET'S DO IT.
OUR FIRST NIGHT IN GETTYSBURG COULDN'T HAVE GONE ANY BETTER.
WE LEARNED THAT, WHEN WE COMBINE AUDIO TRIGGERS TO OUR TRIGGER OBJECTS IN AN AREA WITH ONE SPECIFIC HISTORY, IT GIVES US THE BEST RESULTS.
NOW IT'S TIME TO TES THIS THEORY AT STEWART FARM, WHICH WAS ONCE USED AS A MAKESHIFT FIELD HOSPITAL FOR CONFEDERATE SOLDIERS AFTER THE BATTLE.
WELL, THE FIRST THING I NOTICED WHEN WE PULLED UP IS THERE'S SOME TENTS SETTING UP BACK THERE.
-OH, YEAH? -LOOKS LIKE THERE MIGHT BE A LITTLE BATTLE REENACTMENT GOING ON.
-REALLY? -YEAH.
Doogie: DUDE, THAT SHOULD HOPEFULLY KICK UP A LITTLE SOMETHING TODAY THEN.
YOU TALK ABOUT A PERFEC TRIGGER OBJECT.
YOU KNOW, LAST NIGHT, WE HAD JUS A SATURATION OF TRIGGER ITEMS.
SO MAYBE WE CAN PINPOINT IN ON SOME OF THE SOLDIERS FROM GETTYSBURG, SOME OF THESE CONFEDERATE SOLDIERS.
WELL, I THINK THE LANDOWNER, SHE'S WAITING ON DOOGIE AND I.
WE'RE GOING TO TALK TO HER, SEE IF WE CAN GE SOME PARANORMAL EXPERIENCES AND MAYBE A LITTLE MORE HISTORY.
COOL.
BRANNON, I TELL YOU WHAT, WHY DON'T WE WALK UP HERE WHERE THESE GUYS ARE DOING THE REENACTMEN AND FIND OUT WHAT THEY KNOW ABOUT THE HISTORY OF THIS FARM.
-OH, YEAH.
-THAT SOUNDS LIKE A GOOD IDEA.
-I LIKE THAT.
-ALL RIGHT.
COOL.
LET'S DO IT, GUYS.
-SET THIS THING UP.
GOT A BEAUTIFUL PLACE OUT HERE, BUT Stephani: WELL, THANK YOU.
I KNOW A LOT OF BAD THINGS WENT DOWN BACK IN THE DAY.
I MEAN, WE HEARD THIS WAS THE MAIN ROUTE WHERE THE CONFEDERATES WERE TREATED.
THEY WOULD DROP THEM OFF.
THERE WAS LOTS AND LOTS OF SOLDIERS IN HERE.
WHAT I WAS TOLD IS THE HOUSE PROBABLY WOULD HAVE BEEN MOSTLY FOR OFFICERS AND FOR THE OPERATIONS.
THE BACKYARD WOULD HAVE BEEN A SEA OF BODIES IN TENTS.
ALSO, THE BARN, THE ENLISTED MEN WOULD BE PUT IN THE BARN, SO IT WAS JUS A BLOODY MESS.
THERE WAS TWO BODIES BURIED ON THE FARM HERE.
Doogie: OH, WOW.
AND I'M SURE IT'S PROBABLY LEFT AN IMPRIN ON THIS ENTIRE FARM AND THE HOUSE.
WHAT KIND OF PARANORMAL STUFF DO YOU EXPERIENCE HERE? ONE OF THE BEST ONES IS, IN THE UPSTAIRS BEDROOM, MY MIDDLE SON SLEPT IN THAT ROOM.
AND HE WOULD COME DOWNSTAIRS MANY, MANY TIMES, AND HE SAID HE WOULD BE LYING ON THE FLOOR BESIDE HIS BED WITH THE BLANKETS TUCKED IN AROUND HIM AND ALL THESE PEOPLE LEANING OVER HIM, LOOKING AT HIM.
AND I'M JUST LIKE, "WHAT A WEIRD STORY.
GO BACK TO BED.
" [ LAUGHTER .]
I KNOW.
I WAS A GOOD MOM.
AND WE FOUND I WAS A FIELD HOSPITAL, AND READING ABOUT WHA HAPPENED IN FIELD HOSPITALS WITH THE BODIES LINED UP ON THE FLOORS, AND YOU PICTURE THE DOCTORS AND NURSES COMING IN AND LEANING OVER THEM, LOOKING AT THEM.
-RIGHT.
-YEAH.
I DID APOLOGIZE TO MY SON.
AND EVEN NOW, STEFANI'S GRANDSON HAS HAD A RUN-IN WITH ONE OF THE PHANTOM SOLDIERS.
MAX WAS 3 YEARS OLD, AND HE STARTS SCREAMING.
WE ALL JUMPED UP AND RAN TO THE STEPS, AND HE WAS JUST SHAKING.
HE SAID THERE WAS A BLUE MONSTER.
AND THEN WE SAID, "SO WHAT DID THE BLUE MONSTER LOOK LIKE?" AND HE SAID IT WAS A MAN WITH BOOTS, BLUE HAT, AND BLUE CAPE.
OOH, UNION SOLDIER RIGHT THERE.
UNION SOLDIER.
HEY, GUYS.
Porter: TALKING TO THE CIVIL WAR RE-ENACTORS COULD GIVE US SOME VALUABLE INTEL ON THE HARSH CONDITIONS ENDURED AT STEWART FARM AFTER THE BATTLE OF GETTYSBURG.
CAN YOU TELL ME WHAT YOU GUYS ARE PLANNING UP HERE? WE'RE CWHI.
WE'RE DOING SECOND CORPS FIELD HOSPITAL.
DURING WAR, THE CONFEDERACY HAD AN AMBULANCE CORPS WHICH WAS SET UP OF INFANTRYMEN THAT WOULD GO OU AND BATTLE, AND AS MEN WERE WOUNDED, THEY WOULD STAR TENDING TO THOSE MEN.
YOU KNOW, WE'RE LOOKING AROUND HERE, AND WE SEE, YOU KNOW, THE FARM HERE, AND WE KNOW THAT THIS WAS A ROUTE OF WITHDRAWAL FOR THE CONFEDERATE ARMY.
CAN YOU DESCRIBE WHAT THE WAGONS WOULD HAVE BEEN LIKE? YOU WOULD PILE THE PEOPLE ON THEM.
END UP ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, JUST WAITING TO DIE.
-OH, WOW.
THEY'D RATHER BE THERE THAN PILED UP WITH PEOPLE THAT ARE ALREADY DEAD.
AND THERE'S PROBABLY NO WAY TO GET BACK IN AND GET THE DECEASED, SO THEY LEFT THEM THERE.
YEAH, BURIED ON THESE FARMS.
WOW.
SO WE COULD LITERALLY BE STANDING RIGHT ON TOP OF SOMEONE RIGHT NOW.
-YEAH.
THEY'RE STILL DIGGING UP BODIES ON FARMS.
-OH, WOW.
-WOW.
POSSIBLE TRIGGER OBJECTS FOR TONIGHT.
-OH, YEAH.
-OOH.
NICE.
Chris: THE GREAT THING ABOUT STEWART FARM IS IT GIVES US A CLEAR ENVIRONMEN TO DO OUR TRIGGER-OBJEC EXPERIMENT.
WE'LL ACTUALLY BE USING A WORKING CIVIL WAR MUSKET.
IT WILL NOT ONLY BE A PHYSICAL TRIGGER OBJECT, BUT WE'LL ALSO USE I AS AN AUDIO TRIGGER WHEN WE FIRE IT OFF.
WELL, GUYS, YOU WAN TO GET INTO THIS? BRANNON, WHY DON'T YOU TAKE US OFF TONIGHT, BROTHER? Brannon: DEAR HEAVENLY FATHER, WE THANK YOU FOR THE NIGH THAT YOU'VE GIVEN US, AND WE PRAY THAT YOU WOULD PROTECT US FROM ANY EVIL THAT COULD BE LURKING AND HELP US TO FIND ANSWERS.
IN JESUS' NAME, WE PRAY THESE THINGS.
AMEN.
-AMEN.
LET'S DO IT.
Chris: WHAT ARE YOU GUYS THINKING FOR A PLAN? MAYBE, PORTER, YOU CAN HANG OUT, OUT HERE, FIRE A FEW ROUNDS OFF.
SURE.
PORTER IS GONNA CAMP OUT IN THE YARD WITH THE CIVIL WAR MUSKET.
BRANNON, DOOGIE, AND I WILL START THE INVESTIGATION INSIDE THE HOUSE, STARTING WITH THE STAIRS WHERE STEFANI'S GRANDSON WAS TERRIFIED BY HIS BLUE MONSTER.
-ALL RIGHT.
-HELLO? THIS IS WHERE HE APPARENTLY, SOMEWHERE ON THIS STAIRWAY, SEEN THAT -BLUE MONSTER -YEAH.
-A.
K.
A.
UNION SOLDIER.
YEP.
Chris: WE KNOW THAT, IF YOU WERE A SOLDIER AND YOU WERE INVOLVED WITH THE BATTLE OF GETTYSBURG, THAT YOU WITNESSED A LOT OF PAIN, PROBABLY SAW A LO OF YOUR FRIENDS DIE, PROBABLY A LOT OF -- WHOA.
WHAT WAS THAT? Chris: IT'S OUR SECOND NIGH IN GETTYSBURG, SITE OF THE MOST BRUTAL BATTLE EVER FOUGHT ON AMERICAN SOIL.
OVER 51,000 MEN LOST THEIR LIVES IN THE 3-DAY BATTLE, AND EVEN NOW, THE SPIRITS OF THE FALLEN SOLDIERS HAUNT THE TOWN AND SURROUNDING FIELDS.
STEWART FARM ONCE SERVED AS A MAKESHIFT FIELD HOSPITAL DURING THE WAR.
PORTER IS STATIONED OUTSIDE AND WILL FIRE OFF AN AUTHENTIC CIVIL WAR MUSKE AS OUR TRIGGER.
HELLO? THIS IS WHERE HE APPARENTLY, SOMEWHERE ON THIS STAIRWAY, SEEN THAT -BLUE MONSTER, YEP.
WE KNOW THAT, IF YOU WERE A SOLDIER AND YOU WERE INVOLVED WITH THE BATTLE OF GETTYSBURG, THAT YOU WITNESSED A LOT OF PAIN, PROBABLY SAW A LO OF YOUR FRIENDS DIE, PROBABLY A LOT OF -- -WHOA.
WHAT WAS THAT? [ CREAK .]
THAT WAS UPSTAIRS.
GUESS WHERE.
THE BEDROOM.
YEAH.
LET'S GO AHEAD AND HEAD UP THERE.
ALL RIGHT.
THAT SOUNDED LIKE ONE OF THOSE BEDS.
ALMOST LIKE SOMETHING SAT ON ONE.
HELLO? THIS WAS ONCE A HOSPITAL FOR THE WOUNDED CONFEDERATE SOLDIERS IN THE WAR.
WERE YOU ONE OF THOSE SOLDIERS? ARE YOU HERE WITH US IN THIS ROOM? [ CLICK .]
-WHOA! WHAT WAS THAT? THAT -- GOD.
THAT WAS A BIG ONE.
ARE YOU THE ONE MAKING THE NOISE ON THE TABLE OVER HERE? CHRIS TO PORTER.
-GO AHEAD, CHRIS.
We're getting some crazy stuff up here.
WE GOT A TABLE MOVING.
GO AHEAD AND FIRE THAT THING OFF.
Chris: THE SPIRITS ARE ALREADY ACTIVE, BUT WE'RE GONNA TRY TO KICK IT UP ANOTHER NOTCH.
WE GOT PORTER OUTSIDE.
HE'S ABOUT TO FIRE OFF A BLANK FROM A MUSKET, WHICH IS A HUGE TRIGGER.
FIRE! -WHOA.
-WHOA! HERE IT IS, RIGHT HERE, RIGHT HERE ON ME.
I CAN FEEL I ON MY HAND.
DUDE, MY HAND IS, LIKE, FREEZING.
OH, CRAP.
Porter to Chris.
HOLD ON A SECOND, PORTER.
-HOMICIDE! -HOMICIDE! HOLY CRAP, DUDE.
I'M, LIKE -- I'M NERVOUS RIGHT NOW.
Porter: WHAT'S THIS? IS SOMEBODY IN THE STAIRCASE? LOOKS LIKE A SHADOW FIGURE STANDING BACK THERE.
Hey, guys.
Is anyone walking up the staircase? HUH? NO.
NOTHING.
I THOUGHT I SAW SOME MOVEMEN IN THE WINDOW OUT OF THE CORNER OF MY EYE, AND THAT'S WHY I WAS ASKING IF SOMEBODY WAS IN THERE.
WELL, LIKE I WAS SAYING, WHAT IF, LIKE, THIS -- WAS THAT -- WHOA.
Doogie: WHAT WAS THAT? SOMETHING'S MOVING ON THE STAIRS.
WHAT? DUDE.
666 AGAIN.
LOOK.
SOMETHING'S FIXING TO HAPPEN.
SATAN? Chris: IT'S OUR LAST NIGH IN PENNSYLVANIA, WHERE OVER 51,000 AMERICAN SOLDIERS LOST THEIR LIVES DURING THE MOST HORRIFIC BATTLE OF THE CIVIL WAR, GETTYSBURG.
WE'RE AT STEWART FARM, ONCE A MAKESHIFT FIELD HOSPITAL AFTER THE BATTLE.
WE'RE GETTING AMAZING RESULTS AFTER OUR TRIGGER-OBJEC EXPERIMENT -WHOA! -WHOA! WITH PORTER USING AN AUTHENTIC CIVIL WAR MUSKE AS OUR TRIGGER DOWN IN THE YARD WHILE BRANNON, DOOGIE, AND I INVESTIGATE THE OLD OPERATING ROOM UPSTAIRS.
SATAN? Hey, guys.
I JUST GOT SATAN ON THE OVILUS OUT HERE, NEXT TO ME.
Chris: YEAH.
WE HEARD THAT FROM ALL THE WAY UP HERE, AND GUESS WHAT WE GOT ON THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE ON THE MILL? THAT'S A BIG COPY.
Maybe get another round ready.
WE GOT "HOMICIDE" ON THE OVILUS as soon as you fired it off last time, so I think that's waking them up.
-WHAT? -UNHOLY? Brannon: CRAP.
UNHOLY.
WE'VE GOT 666.
PORTER GOT SATAN.
WE GOT UNHOLY.
GREAT.
IT SOUNDS LIKE, MAN, WE'RE DEALING WITH SOMETHING THAT'S EVIL OR REALLY FREAKING ANGRY.
MAYBE ALL THE NEGATIVE EVENTS HAPPENED CAUSES THIS NEGATIVE ENERGY THAT THESE DEMONS FEED OFF OF MAYBE? YEAH.
WHEN THERE'S A LOT OF BLOODSHED, WHEN THERE'S A LOT OF EVIL TAKING PLACE, MURDER STUFF, I MEAN, THAT'S -- IT JUST HARBORS ITSELF.
MAN, DO WE MAYBE WAN TO HEAD TO THE BARN? WITH SO MUCH ACTIVITY HERE IN THE OPERATING ROOM, WE REALLY WANT TO CHECK OU THE BARN BEFORE WE HEAD OUT.
THAT'S WHERE A LOT OF THE ENLISTED MEN WERE TREATED, AND MANY OF THEM DIED.
ALL RIGHT.
LET'S SEE IF PORTER WILL FIRE THAT GUN OFF.
Hey, Porter, I think we're about ready for the big boom.
ALL RIGHT.
STAND BY.
I'LL PREP THE SHOT.
TWO ROUNDS HERE.
THIS IS GONNA BE A DOUBLE BIG BANG.
Okay.
WHAT WAS THAT? WHAT DID WE JUST HEAR? WHAT WAS THAT? WHAT DID WE JUST HEAR? A CANNON.
A CANNON.
-WHOA.
-CLEAR AS DAY.
A CANNON.
THAT'S WHAT IT SAID, "A CANNON.
" WHAT DID WE JUST HEAR? YOU'RE A LITTLE OFF.
IT'S A RIFLE, BUT, I MEAN, THAT'S CLOSE ENOUGH.
YEAH.
BOOGITY BOO.
I GOT CHILLIES ALL OVER.
GUYS, WE'RE GETTING THE BES EVPs EVER ON THIS THING.
Chris: HEY, PORTER, MAN.
WE GOT TO RECAP YOU.
OKAY.
SO, WE DID A QUICK BURST SESSION.
WE ASKED, AFTER YOU SHOT -UH-HUH.
WE ASKED, "WHAT WAS THA THAT WAS JUST FIRED?" AND IT SAID, CLEAR AS DAY, "A CANNON," ON THE EVP, LIKE REALLY? I MEAN, IT'S WRONG, OBVIOUSLY, BUT IT MAY NOT BE.
Doogie: REALLY? THAT WAS A DOUBLE LOAD.
EARLIER TODAY, WHEN I WAS UP THERE WITH THE GUYS IN THE FIELD DOING THE REENACTMEN STUFF, THEY SAID THAT, WHEN YOU DOUBLE LOAD THOSE MUSKETS AND YOU FIRE THEM OFF LIKE THAT, THEY SAID IT ALMOS SOUNDS LIKE A CANNON.
[ LAUGHTER .]
-OH, MY GOSH.
THAT MUSKET SEEMS TO FIRE UP PARANORMAL ACTIVITY EVERY TIME I FIRE IT.
WHETHER IT'S THE SOUND THAT'S SO TIED TO WHAT HAPPENED AT THIS PLACE OR IT'S THE ENERGY RELEASED, SOMETHING TO DO WITH THA COMBINATION IN A TRIGGER ITEM IS REALLY WHAT WORKS THE BES WHEN WE'RE TRYING TO STIR UP PARANORMAL ACTIVITY.
WHAT DO YOU THINK, GUYS? I SAY, LET'S ROLL IT UP, GO GET SOME SHUT-EYE.
-LET'S GO GET WARM.
-ALL RIGHT.
-LET'S BREAK IT DOWN.
-COOL.
ALL RIGHT, FELLAS.
WELL, BOYS, GETTYSBURG DIDN' DISAPPOINT, DID IT? -NO, MAN.
-NOT AT ALL.
I MEAN, THIS PLACE, TO ME, HAS BEEN ABSOLUTELY JUST AMAZING.
IT'S LIKE A PARANORMAL THEME PARK.
OH, THIS PLACE HAS BEEN ON MY BUCKET LIST FOR A LONG TIME.
I MEAN, IT'S BEEN A WHILE SINCE WE'VE HEARD EVPs THAT GOOD.
-HMM? -WHAT? -WHOA! -OH, MY GOD! SEEING YOU TWO EMBRACE EACH OTHER, THAT WAS ABSOLUTELY PRICELESS.
YOU KNOW, THE THEME HERE WAS TRIGGER OBJECTS.
-MM-HMM.
-THE GUNS, THE ARMS, THAT SEEMS TO REALLY FIRE THEM UP.
WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THIS? SATAN? WELL, YOU THINK ABOU WHERE WE'RE AT, AND YOU THINK ABOU THE HISTORY HERE, 51,000-PLUS LIVES LOST.
SOME ARE STILL, YOU KNOW, IN EVERY PIECE OF THE LAND AROUND HERE.
I MEAN, ALL THE WEAPONS FIRED, THE CANNON FIRE, IT WAS BRUTAL.
WE KNOW THAT THA TYPE OF ACTIVITY LEAVES AN INDELIBLE MARK ON A LOCATION.
I THINK THERE'S SOMETHING CONNECTED TO EVIL HERE AS WELL.
Doogie: FOR SURE.
YOU KNOW THE BAD MAN'S HANGING AROUND WHEN YOU GOT THA MUCH DEATH GOING ON.
I JUST WANT TO SAY, KIND OF MY FINAL CONCLUSION ON THESE TRIGGER OBJECTS, IT SEEMS LIKE WHATEVER IS HERE REACTS THE MOST TO THE GUNFIRE MORESO THAN MAYBE THE OTHER THINGS.
Chris: THE TRIGGER OBJECTS THA WE ASSOCIATED WITH THE CIVILIANS GOT THE WEAKEST RESPONSES, BUT THE PHYSICAL AND AUDIO TRIGGERS THAT WERE ASSOCIATED WITH THE SOLDIERS, THE REVOLVER, THE UNIFORM -LOOK, K2.
-WHOA.
THE BATTLE SOUNDS, AND THE MUSKET FIRING ALL GOT AMAZING RESULTS.
SO IT LOOKS LIKE THE PARANORMAL ACTIVITY IN THIS TOWN IS PRIMARILY BROUGHT ABOU BY THE FALLEN SOLDIERS OF THE BATTLE OF GETTYSBURG, AND WITH ALL THE DEATH AND DESTRUCTION, A PRESENCE OF EVIL WAITING TO MAKE ITSELF KNOWN.
I THINK, YOU KNOW, IT'S IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER THE GETTYSBURG SOLDIERS OF OLD.
THEY MAY BE GONE, BUT THEY'VE SHOWED US HERE THIS WEEKEND THAT THEY'LL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN.
-THAT'S RIGHT.
-YOU GOT THAT RIGHT.
WELL, BOYS, WHAT DO YOU SAY WE PUT ON OUR DRIVING GOGGLES AND HEAD ON THE ROAD? -LET'S DO IT.
-ALL RIGHT.
-OH, YEAH.
-LET'S DO IT.
Brannon: LET'S JUST KEEP THIS WEATHER.
-WHOA! -WHOA! HOMICIDE! IN JUST 3 DAYS, OVER 51,000 SOLDIERS DIED ON BOTH SIDES OF THE WAR, AND THEIR RESTLESS SOULS CONTINUE TO HAUN THIS SMALL TOWN.
WE'LL MAKE CONTACT WITH SOME OF THESE PHANTOM SOLDIERS WHOA! OH, MY GOD.
THIS STOOL JUST MOVED.
THOSE CAUGH IN THE CROSSFIRE AND EVEN SOMEONE WE NEVER EXPECTED TO FIND.
All: WHOA! Chris: WE'RE THE TENNESSEE WRAITH CHASERS.
WE TRAVEL AMERICA, EXPLORING THE COUNTRY'S MOST HAUNTED TOWNS -WHOA, ALICE! -ALICE! Doogie: DUDE, THIS IS MOVING RIGHT BEHIND YOU.
-OH! -[BLEEP.]
INVESTIGATING PARANORMAL STORIES THAT HAVE SPOOKED LOCALS FOR GENERATIONS.
-YANK.
-WHAT DO YOU MEAN, "YANK"? OH [BLEEP.]
Chris: WE COMBINE HISTORICAL RESEARCH WITH MODERN SCIENCE AND SOME GOOD OLD-FASHIONED SOUTHERN KNOW-HOW TO FIND THE TRUTH AT THE HEART OF THE LEGENDS.
FIRE! -HOMICIDE.
-HOMICIDE! -SATAN.
-SATAN? Chris: JUST A BUNCH OF GOOD OLE BOYS HAVING A LITTLE FUN, CHASING GHOSTS AROUND AMERICA.
AHH! [ LAUGHTER .]
THIS IS "HAUNTED TOWNS.
" -- Captions by VITAC -- CAPTIONS PAID FOR BY DISCOVERY COMMUNICATIONS GETTYSBURG, THE SITE OF THE BLOODIEST BATTLE OF THE AMERICAN CIVIL WAR AND ONE OF THE MOST HAUNTED TOWNS IN THE COUNTRY.
OVER 160,000 UNION AND CONFEDERATE TROOPS CONVERGED ON THIS SMALL PENNSYLVANIA TOWN IN WHAT'S WIDELY CONSIDERED THE TURNING POIN OF THE WAR BETWEEN THE STATES.
THE BATTLE TOOK PLACE IN ONLY THREE DAYS, FROM JULY 1st TO JULY 3, 1863.
AFTER A HOT START BY THE CONFEDERATE ARMY, THE TIDE TURNED, AND THE REBELS WERE DEFEATED AND FORCED TO WITHDRAW.
CASUALTIES WERE HIGH ON BOTH SIDES, FIELDS LITTERED WITH THE BODIES OF DEAD AND WOUNDED SOLDIERS.
FOR THE LAST 150 YEARS, THIS SMALL TOWN HAS BEEN OVERRUN BY THE SOULS OF DEAD AMERICANS, BOTH UNION AND CONFEDERATE.
GETTYSBURG AND THE SURROUNDING FARMS ARE FILLED WITH REPORTS OF EVERYTHING FROM GHOSTLY APPARITIONS TO PHANTOM BATTLE CRIES.
[INDISTINCT SHOUTING.]
OUR FIRST STOP IS THE PARROT CAFE IN DOWNTOWN GETTYSBURG TO COME UP WITH A BATTLE PLAN OF OUR OWN.
NICE LITTLE TOWN, MAN.
IT KIND OF ALMOS REMINDS ME OF HOME A LITTLE BI IN THIS SQUARE.
IT DOES, DOESN'T IT.
WELL, GUYS, WE FINALLY MADE IT, GETTYSBURG.
WE'VE BEEN WANTING TO COME HERE FOR YEARS.
THIS IS ONE OF THE MOS PARANORMALLY ACTIVE TOWNS IN ALL OF THE COUNTRY.
THE BATTLE OF GETTYSBURG TOOK ALMOST 51,000 LIVES.
MM-HMM.
I MEAN, IT WAS THE BLOODIES BATTLE ON AMERICAN SOIL EVER.
THINK OF ALL THE PAIN AND MISERY PACKED INTO THOSE THREE DAYS.
AND, YOU KNOW, IT WASN'T JUS THE SOLDIERS WHO WERE SUFFERING.
I MEAN, THERE WERE APPROXIMATELY 2,400 PEOPLE LIVING HERE AT THE TIME, AND THERE WERE 160,000 TROOPS THAT CAME IN HERE.
WOW.
THEY WERE TAKING THEIR FARMS.
THEY WERE TAKING THEIR RESOURCES.
THERE WAS NO COMPENSATION.
IT WAS BAD FOR EVERYBODY.
THE THING IS, EVERYBODY COMES IN HEARING ALL THE PAIN, THE MISERY THAT HAPPENED IN A SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME, AND THEY ALWAYS WAN TO HIT THE SAME PLACES, THE BATTLEFIELD, THAT KIND OF STUFF.
WELL, I THINK WE NEED TO DO IT THE TWC WAY, HIT IT A LITTLE DIFFERENT ANGLE -MM-HMM.
-BECAUSE YOU THINK, A LOT OF THESE GUYS DID NOT DIE ON THE BATTLEFIELD.
THEY DIED IN MAKESHIF HOSPITALS ALL OVER THIS CITY BECAUSE, IF YOU HAD A HOUSE AND THERE WAS ROOM IN IT, IT WAS A HOSPITAL FOR BOTH SIDES.
SO I REALLY THINK WE SHOULD FOCUS OUR INVESTIGATION RIGHT THERE.
I REALLY WANT TO INVESTIGATE STEWART FARMS.
I MEAN, THAT PLACE, THE ROAD LEADING TO I WAS THE ROUTE THAT THE CONFEDERATES USED TO RETREAT.
IT WAS CONVERTED INTO A HOSPITAL FOR THE SOLDIERS, AND I HEAR THERE'S STILL A LOT GOING ON THERE FROM A PARANORMAL STANCE, IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN.
Brannon: I THINK THIS INVESTIGATION WOULD BE, LIKE, THE MECCA FOR AN OPPORTUNITY FOR TRYING SOME TRIGGER OBJECTS, YOU KNOW, OBJECTS LIKE WAR MEMORABILIA, MUSKETS, BULLETS, AND THINGS.
THEY CAN BE USED TO HELP THE SPIRITS MANIFEST.
Porter: THERE'S A PLACE RIGH AROUND THE CORNER HERE CALLED MASON DIXON MILITARIA, AND I HEAR THEY HAVE GO THE BEST GAME IN TOWN FOR ANY TYPE OF CIVIL WAR MEMORABILIA ANYWHERE, AND I BET YOU WE CAN FIND SOME TRIGGER OBJECTS THERE.
I BET WE COULD.
I WOULDN'T BE SURPRISED IF THEY SAW SOME SPIRIT ACTIVITY IN THERE TOO, I MEAN, A STORE FILLED WITH TRIGGER ITEMS.
-YEAH.
-ALL RIGHT, FELLAS.
LOOKS LIKE WE GOT A PLAN.
SO WHAT DO YOU SAY WE GO GE THIS PARANORMAL PARTY STARTED? -LET'S DO IT.
-ALL RIGHT.
ALL RIGHTY, THEN.
I THINK I'M FULLY CAFFEINATED AT THIS POINT.
HEY, BRANNON, YOU WANT TO GET THE BILL? -WHAT? -THAT'S THE NEWBIE'S JOB.
RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER.
HERE WE ARE, BOYS.
THIS IS IT.
AGE BEFORE BEAUTY.
-OH, WOW.
-MAN, DANG, LOOK AT THIS.
Chris: OH, MY GOODNESS.
DUDE, WE HI THE TREASURE TROVE HERE.
Porter: THEY JUST GO EVERYTHING IN HERE.
LOOK AT THIS.
-WOW.
-OH, MAN.
-SEE THE NUMBERS ON IT? -HI, GUYS.
HOW YOU DOING? -HEY.
HOW'S IT GOING? -WHAT'S UP, MAN? -GOOD.
NICE TO MEET YOU.
Porter: LISTEN, WE'RE THE TENNESSEE WRAITH CHASERS.
YOU KNOW, WE GO AROUND, WE DO PARANORMAL INVESTIGATIONS.
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR ARE TRIGGER OBJECTS, SOMETHING THAT WOULD BE FAMILIAR TO THE SPIRITS THAT MIGHT BE LINGERING.
NOW, THIS DRESS, I'M SITTING HERE, LOOKING AT IT.
IS THIS BLOOD? Tony: THAT IS BLOOD.
THAT IS CONFEDERATE OR UNION BLOOD.
WOW.
REALLY? AND SHE WAS JUST A LADY WHO WAS JUST HOME.
THE BATTLE HAPPENED TO COME TO HER FRONT DOORSTEP, AND SHE DID WHATEVER SHE COULD TO HELP OUT THE SOLDIERS.
THE GUNS YOU HAVE RIGHT THERE ARE ABSOLUTELY AMAZING.
YEP.
THIS RIFLE RIGHT HERE WOULD HAVE STOPPED THE CONFEDERATE ADVANCE ON THE VERY FIRST DAY AT GETTYSBURG.
YOU KNOW, SO IF ANYTHING IS GONNA HAVE ENERGY TO IT -YEAH.
-WOW.
CAN WE SHOOT IT? I THINK WE CAN WORK THAT OUT.
WE LIKE THINGS THAT GO BOOM IN THIS TOWN, YOU KNOW? WELL, I MEAN, THE REASON BEING, YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES, WE'LL LIKE TO USE AUDIO TRIGGERS AS WELL LIKE FIRE A GUN OR USE SOME KIND OF SOUND TO GIVE THESE SPIRITS SOMETHING THA THEY WERE FAMILIAR WITH BACK IN THEIR TIME, YOU KNOW.
Doogie: YOU GOT ALL THIS STUFF IN HERE.
I MEAN, DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING THAT GOES ON IN THIS PLACE? WE HAVE QUITE A BIT OF ACTIVITY.
IN FACT, I HAVE ONE OF MY EMPLOYEES HERE THAT ACTUALLY HAS A COUPLE OF EXPERIENCES IF YOU DON'T MIND TALKING TO HIM.
-OH, ABSOLUTELY.
-SURE.
Porter: SO YOU'VE HAD INTERACTION HERE OR SEEN STUFF HERE.
OH, YES.
I'VE BEEN TOUCHED ON THE BACK.
I'VE HEARD FOOTSTEPS, CONVERSATIONS IN THE BACK.
BUT THERE'S NOBODY THERE.
WE ACTUALLY HAD A WOMAN IN PERIOD DRESS COME OUT INTO THE SHOP, MOSTLY SEE-THROUGH, AND THEN, BOOM, SHE WAS GONE.
-WOW.
-THAT SOUNDS RIGHT UP OUR ALLY.
SO THIS BUILDING WAS HERE DURING THE WAR.
-YES.
-OH, YES.
THIS WAS A CIVIL WAR HOSPITAL DURING THE BATTLE.
REALLY? IN FACT, THERE'S ACTUALLY A CANNONBALL IN THE SIDE OF THE BUILDING.
DO YOU MIND TAKING ME OUT THERE TO TAKE A LOOK AT IT? -WOULD LOVE TO.
-THESE GUYS CAN SIT IN HERE AND TALK ABOUT THE GHOSTS THA HAUNT THIS BUILDING WITH YOU.
-I WANT TO SEE THAT CANNONBALL.
-LET'S DO IT.
YEAH, SO THE CANNONBALL IS ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE WALL.
-RIGHT.
-AND IT'S RIGHT UP THERE.
-WOW.
THAT'S PRETTY COOL.
-YEAH.
SO THIS IS WHERE ALL THE ACTION WAS GOING ON.
RIGHT HERE.
THIS IS THE CENTER.
MOST PEOPLE THINK THA IT'S ALL OUT IN THE FIELDS, BUT A TON OF IT TOOK PLACE RIGHT WHERE WE'RE STANDING TODAY.
OH, WOW.
THE DAVID WILLS HOUSE RIGHT OVER HERE, THIS IS WHERE LINCOLN STAYED WHILE HE CAME INTO TOWN TO DELIVER THE FAMOUS GETTYSBURG ADDRESS.
-REALLY? -YEAH.
THIS ROAD RIGHT OVER HERE ACTUALLY IS THE ROAD THAT CONFEDERATES TOOK TO GET OUT OF HERE, ALL PILED INTO THESE WAGONS THAT STRETCHED OVER 18 MILES LONG.
WOW.
SO THESE PEOPLE WERE KIND OF PILED ON EACH OTHER, YOU THINK? THEY'RE PILED RIGH ON TOP OF EACH OTHER.
-GOSH.
-YEAH.
IT WAS HORRIBLE.
Sean: THIS SEEMS TO BE THE HOTTEST PART OF THE STORE FOR SOME REASON.
WE ACTUALLY CAUGHT A WOMAN IN CIVIL WAR DRESS COMING OU TO ABOUT THIS AREA, HESITATED FOR A SECOND, SECOND AND A HALF, AND, BAM, YOU COULD BARELY SEE HER LEAVE.
YEAH, SO WE'RE GETTING A LITTLE HIGH RIGHT HERE, SO IF YOU'RE HAVING ACTIVITY RIGHT HERE -MM-HMM.
-LET'S SEE HOW FAR THIS GOES.
LOOK AT THAT.
CONVENIENTLY, IN THIS STREAM OF WHERE THINGS ARE BEING SEEN.
YOU GET UP HERE, IT STARTS DISSIPATING, SO IT'S REALLY KIND OF LOW TO THE GROUND.
Chris: WONDER IF THERE'S SOMETHING DOWN THERE.
YOU GUYS GOT A BASEMENT, RIGHT? -YES.
WE DO.
-OKAY.
Doogie: OH, WOW.
DUDE, THIS IS HUGE.
IT'S A WHOLE DIFFEREN PLACE DOWN HERE.
KIND OF CREEPY.
TONY SEES SOMEBODY DOWN THERE, MOVING.
REALLY? TONY DOESN'T LIKE TO COME DOWN HERE A LOT.
SO BASICALLY, IF ANYTHING NEEDS TO BE DONE IN THE BASEMENT, IT DOESN'T GET DONE, RIGHT? I'LL FLIP THE LIGHT ON AND TAKE A QUICK LOOK, AND THEN, FAST, IT GETS DONE FAST.
SO WHAT DO WE GO OVER HERE, SEAN? Sean: THERE WAS A CIVIL WAR BED THERE.
THERE'S ACTUALLY A VIEWING CASKET RIGHT THERE.
OH, WOW.
WHO'S GONNA LAY IN IT TONIGHT? BRANNON.
I'M GOOD WITH IT.
WHAT IS THIS THING RIGHT HERE? THAT IS A CHILD'S EMBALMING TABLE FROM THE CIVIL WAR.
WE'VE SEEN SHADOWS BACK HERE.
WE'VE HEARD NOISES.
THAT'S THE ORIGINAL ENTRANCE TO THE STREET.
REALLY? SO THAT'S THE ORIGINAL DOORWAY THAT EVERYBODY, SOLDIERS, WOUNDED, WOULD HAVE COME DOWN.
PROBABLY THE SCENE OF MOS ACTIVITY DURING THE BATTLE.
YEAH, WELL, THAT COULD EXPLAIN A WHOLE LOT.
THESE PEOPLE MOVING IN AND OUT OF THIS AREA AND JUST THIS STUFF HERE, I MEAN, IF THERE'S STUFF ATTACHED TO IT, I MEAN, IT MAY BE HANGING AROUND DOWN HERE.
-RIGHT.
-THAT'S KIND OF CREEPY.
SPEAKING OF, DO YOU MIND IF WE INVESTIGATE THIS PLACE TONIGHT? NO, ABSOLUTELY NOT.
I'D LOVE TO KNOW IF THERE'S ANY ATTACHMEN TO ANY OF THESE OBJECTS.
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
I APPRECIATE IT, MAN.
-ANY TIME.
-I APPRECIATE IT, BUDDY.
-I APPRECIATE YOU COMING IN.
-ALL RIGHT.
YOU WANT TO GO THAT WAY, SO IF SOMETHING JUMPS OUT, IT DON'T SCARE US? -YOU GOT IT.
[ LAUGHTER .]
Chris: AFTER THE SHOP CLOSES FOR THE NIGHT, WE BEGIN SETTING UP FOR OUR INVESTIGATION.
I THINK OUR TWO LONG RUNS ARE GONNA BE DOWNSTAIRS.
WE'RE LOOKING TO MAKE CONTAC WITH ANY CIVIL WAR-ERA SPIRITS THAT TRIGGER ITEMS CAN PROVOKE.
WE'RE FOCUSING ON UPSTAIRS WHERE THE FEMALE APPARITION WAS WITNESSED AND DOWNSTAIRS IN THE BASEMEN THAT TONY AND SEAN HAVE BEEN CHASED OUT OF.
WHERE CAN WE PUT THIS WHERE WE'RE GONNA HAVE ENOUGH CORD? WE COULD MAYBE DO SOMETHING LIKE THIS.
[ THUMP .]
Doogie: WHAT WAS THAT? SOMEBODY DOWN THERE? WHAT WAS THAT? NOBODY DOWN HERE? Chris: WE'RE IN SOUTHERN PENNSYLVANIA, THE SITE OF THE MOST HORRIFIC CLASH IN AMERICAN HISTORY, THE BATTLE OF GETTYSBURG.
MORE THAN 51,000 UNION AND CONFEDERATE SOLDIERS LOST THEIR LIVES DURING THE BATTLE, FOREVER STAINING THIS SMALL TOWN.
TO THIS DAY, THE ONCE BLOOD-SOAKED STREETS AND FIELDS REMAIN LITTERED WITH THE SOULS OF THOSE DEAD SOLDIERS WHO HAVE HAUNTED GETTYSBURG FOR THE PAST 150 YEARS.
WE'RE PREPPING FOR TONIGHT'S INVESTIGATION AT THE MASON DIXON MILITARIA SHOP, HOME TO AN EPIC COLLECTION OF CIVIL WAR MEMORABILIA AND A PERFECT LOCATION FOR OUR TRIGGER-OBJEC EXPERIMENT.
WE COULD MAYBE DO SOMETHING LIKE THIS.
[ THUMP .]
Doogie: WHAT WAS THAT? SOMEBODY DOWN THERE? NOBODY DOWN HERE? SOMETHING WAS MOVING DOWN HERE.
[ THUMP .]
[ THUMP .]
EXACTLY IN THIS SPOT THAT THEY SAID EVERYTHING WENT ON.
I WONDER IF IT WAS THIS BED OR SOMETHING JUST MOVED.
YEAH, DUDE, IT HAPPENS EVERY DAY.
I MEAN, LIKE, THIS IS NO JOKE.
[BLEEP.]
HAPPENS.
PAPERS FLY OFF THE SHELVES UPSTAIRS.
THERE IS [BLEEP.]
HERE.
YOU CAN PROVOKE IT.
DOESN'T MATTER.
IT'S GONNA COME OUT.
WE RARELY ENCOUNTER SPIRITS DURING THE SETUP, BUT THIS BASEMENT IS ONE OF THE MOST HAUNTED SPOTS IN THE SHOP.
TONIGHT, BRANNON IS ACTUALLY GONNA WEAR ONE OF OUR TRIGGER OBJECTS, THE UNIFORM OF A UNION SOLDIER.
WE'RE GONNA PUT HIM DOWN HERE AND SEE IF WE CAN GET ANY MORE ACTIVITY.
ALL SOLDIERS TO ARMS! -OH, GOSH.
-[ LAUGHS .]
Doogie: YOU'RE AUTHENTIC.
THAT'S FOR SURE.
SO WE'VE GOT A PERFECT SPO FOR YOU -- CASKET.
WE'RE USING TRIGGER OBJECTS ASSOCIATED WITH THE SOLDIERS TO FIND OU WHICH ITEMS GENERATE THE STRONGEST RESPONSE.
ONE LAST THING UPSTAIRS, WE'RE GONNA USE THE BLOOD-STAINED DRESS AS A TRIGGER OBJECT TO REACH OU TO THE TOWNSPEOPLE WHO HELPED THE WOUNDED SOLDIERS AFTER THE BATTLE.
WELL, THIS IS WHERE THE APPARITION WAS SEEN, SO MAN: Hey, Mike.
AND OUR SURVEILLANCE EXPERT, MIKE G.
, WILL BE OUTSIDE, WATCHING ALL OF US ON CAMERA.
ALL RIGHT.
GOOD TO GO.
LET'S GO LIGHTS OU AND DO THIS THING.
DOING IS WE'RE GONNA SET UP A STATIC CAM HERE ON THE DRESS THAT HAS THE LASER GRID ON IT.
AND IF ANYTHING GETS CLOSE TO IT WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR IS ANY MOVEMENT IN THE LASER.
ALL RIGHT.
HERE I GO.
WE'RE USING BRANNON AS KIND OF A HUMAN TRIGGER TO SEE IF THEY'LL INTERACT WITH HIM.
YOU KNOW, HE'S IN A UNION UNIFORM.
HE'S IN A COFFIN.
YOU READY TO GO IN? -YEP.
LET'S DO THIS THING, MAN.
SINCE BRANNON WON'T BE ABLE TO SEE ANYTHING IN THAT COFFIN, WE HAVE A CAMERA SET UP OUTSIDE TO CATCH ANY ACTIVITY THAT HAPPENS.
ALL RIGHT.
HAVE FUN, KID.
Brannon: ALL RIGHT.
SO ANY SPIRITS THAT ARE DOWN HERE, MY NAME IS BRANNON.
I'M A FEDERAL SOLDIER IN HERE.
IF YOU'RE UNION OR CONFEDERATE, CAN YOU SAY SOMETHING THROUGH THAT DEVICE BESIDE ME? GIVE ME SOME KIND OF SIGN, WHO YOU ARE OR WHAT YOU ARE AND WHY YOU'RE HERE.
Chris: WHILE BRANNON'S CONDUCTING A SOLO SESSION IN THE BASEMENT, PORTER, DOOGIE, AND I ARE UPSTAIRS, SETTING UP AT THE MAIN COUNTER.
WHAT DO YOU SAY WE START OUT UP HERE WHERE THEY SEE THE LITTLE APPARITION OVER HERE.
-YEAH.
-MAYBE DO AN EVP SESSION.
THAT WILL WORK.
WHAT WE'LL DO IS GO AHEAD AND IF YOU WANT TO TALK TO US, TALK TO US INTO THIS BLACK BOX RIGHT HERE.
CALL I THE SPOOKY DICTIONARY.
THAT WAY, YOU CAN GO INTO I AND FIND WHATEVER WORD YOU WANT TO SAY TO US.
CAN YOU TELL US YOUR NAME? Chris: WERE YOU A SOLDIER? OR WERE YOU A CIVILIAN? WE KNOW THERE WAS A BIG BATTLE THAT WAS HERE.
[ DEVICE BEEPING .]
WHOA.
MAYBE YOU WERE PAR OF THAT BATTLE.
WERE YOU INJURED? WERE YOU SHOT? ALL RIGHT.
LET'S SEE WHAT IT SAYS.
WERE YOU INJURED? WERE YOU SHOT? All: YES.
SHOT? -YES.
-OH, MY GOD.
OH, WOW.
DO YOU HAVE A LIMB THAT WAS AMPUTATED? -WHAT? -WHAT? TRYING TO CLARIFY IF YOUR NAME IS MIKE OR IF YOU'RE REFERRING TO OUR MIKE.
AND IF YOU'RE REFERRING TO OUR MIKE, CAN YOU GIVE US THE WORD VAN? WHAT? YOU WANT US TO GO IN THE CLOSET? IS THAT CLOSET WHERE YOU GO AND HIDE SOMETIMES? IS THIS WHERE YOU LIKE TO BE? CAN YOU LET US KNOW IF YOU'RE HERE WITH US? WHOA.
OH, MY GOD, DUDE.
-WHAT? -THIS STOOL JUST MOVED.
-BRAVE? -BRAVE? BRAVE VAN? DID IT SAY VAN? -YEAH.
-ARE YOU SERIOUS? -REALLY? -YEAH, YEAH.
-IT SAYS VAN? -YEAH.
PORTER, WHAT DID YOU ASK IT EARLIER? I SAID, "CAN YOU SAY VAN IF YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT MIKE?" HE JUST SAID VAN, V-A-N.
OH, MY GOD.
Chris to Mike.
GO AHEAD.
THIS OVILUS SAID YOUR NAME.
THEN PORTER ASKED IT, IF IT'S TALKING ABOUT YOU, TO SAY VAN, AND IT SAID VAN.
SO SOMETHING OU THERE LIKES YOU.
IT'S PROBABLY THE LADY GHOST.
[ LAUGHTER .]
-OF COURSE IT IS.
OF COURSE.
Brannon: HEY, GUYS, CAN YOU TELL HIM TO COME DOWN HERE AND DO SOMETHING? You got anything down there? NO, MAN.
IT'S PRETTY QUIET.
I'M HEARING A LITTLE COMMOTION FROM UP THERE.
ARE YOU GUYS GETTING A LOT? YOU COULD SAY THAT.
YEAH.
YOU COULD SAY THAT.
THERE'S A GUY DOWNSTAIRS.
HE'S IN A UNION UNIFORM.
CAN YOU GO DOWN THERE AND DO SOMETHING TO HIM, MANIPULATE HIS EQUIPMENT? SOUNDS KIND OF WEIRD.
[ LAUGHTER .]
Brannon: CAN YOU TALK THROUGH THAT DEVICE THAT'S BESIDE MY EAR? CAN YOU SAY ANYTHING AT ALL? Chris: WE'RE SURROUNDED BY AN ENTIRE STORE FULL OF ARTIFACTS FROM DIFFERENT TIME PERIODS.
SO BASICALLY, TO HONE IN OUR INVESTIGATION, WE REALLY NEED TO FOCUS ON THAT ONE TRIGGER OBJEC THAT'S SPECIFIC TO THE CIVIL WAR.
WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THIS? YOU GOT A BUILDING FULL OF ITEMS THAT ARE CONNECTED TO THE WAR.
-OH! -WHOA! MY GOSH.
Chris: WE'RE AT THE SITE OF THE BLOODIEST CONFLIC EVER ON AMERICAN SOIL, THE BATTLE OF GETTYSBURG.
THE LIVES OF OVER 51,000 MEN WERE LOS DURING THIS EPIC THREE-DAY BLOOD BATH.
AND TODAY, THEIR SPIRITS STILL HAUNT THE STREETS AND FIELDS OF THIS HISTORIC VILLAGE.
WE'RE INVESTIGATING THE MASON DIXON MILITARIA, HOME TO A STAGGERING COLLECTION OF CIVIL WAR MEMORABILIA, INCLUDING A WARTIME CANNONBALL THAT'S EMBEDDED IN THE OUTSIDE WALL.
THE BUILDING WAS IN THE HEAR OF THE BATTLE IN DOWNTOWN GETTYSBURG, SO IT'S THE PERFECT LOCATION FOR OUR TRIGGER-OBJEC EXPERIMENT.
I JUST WANT TO SAY, I HAVE ALL RESPECT FOR THE SOLDIERS HERE.
Chris: DRESSED AS A UNION SOLDIER, BRANNON'S HOLDING A SOLO SESSION IN THE BASEMEN WHILE PORTER, DOOGIE, AND I ARE UPSTAIRS IN THE MAIN SHOP.
WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THIS? YOU'VE GOT A BUILDING FULL OF ITEMS THAT ARE CONNECTED TO THE WAR.
-OH! -WHOA! Chris: MY GOSH! THAT WAS DIRECT.
Chris: BEFORE WE GO GET BRANNON, YOU GUYS WANT TO HI ANOTHER SPOT UP HERE? WANT TO GO BACK HERE WHERE THE DRESS IS? SEE IF ANYTHING HAPPENS WITH THIS LASER GRID.
SO NOW, WE'RE GONNA TRY OUR LUCK WITH THIS BLOOD-STAINED DRESS.
IT WAS WORN BY A LOCAL WOMAN WHO WAS HELPING WOUNDED SOLDIERS.
SEE IF WE GET AS BIG A REACTION TO THAT AS WE DID THE GUN.
Doogie: OKAY.
SEAN AND TONY TOLD US ABOUT SEEING AN APPARITION OF A WOMAN RIGHT IN FRONT OF US WHERE THE DRESS IS AT.
IS THAT YOU THAT WALKS THROUGH HERE? CAN YOU GIVE US YOUR NAME? CAN YOU LET US KNOW, IS THAT YOUR DRESS? IS THAT YOUR BLOOD ON THE DRESS? CAN YOU TELL US THE NAME OF THE PERSON WHO WORE THE DRESS? CHECK IT.
-YEAH.
IS THAT YOUR DRESS? IS THAT YOUR BLOOD ON THE DRESS? CAN YOU TELL US THE NAME OF THE PERSON WHO WORE THE DRESS? -HMM? -WHAT? DID THAT JUST SAY WHAT I THINK? Porter: TRY IT AGAIN.
CAN YOU TELL US THE NAME OF THE PERSON WHO WORE THE DRESS? -WHOA.
-THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT IT SAID.
-THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT IT SAID.
-WOW.
-F YOU.
-YES, IT DID.
-BOOGITY.
-IT JUST SAID, "F YOU," LIKE, GROWLY "F YOU.
" -BOOGITY.
-DUDE.
THAT WASN'T EXACTLY THE REACTION WE WERE EXPECTING.
I MEAN, THAT WASN'T A COMMON TERM USED DURING THE CIVIL WAR, SO WE'RE NOT SURE IF IT'S REACTING TO THE DRESS, BUT IT'S DEFINITELY NOT HAPPY THAT WE'RE HERE.
I MEAN, THERE'S SO MANY DIFFERENT TYPES OF TRIGGER OBJECTS.
MM-HMM.
WE'VE GOT, YOU KNOW, VIETNAM-ERA STUFF.
WE'VE GOT WORLD WAR II.
YOU KNOW, WE GOT STUFF FROM GETTYSBURG.
WE COULD BE TALKING TO A WHOLE CROWD OF PEOPLE.
IN ORDER TO FOCUS OUR INVESTIGATION, WE'RE REALLY GONNA HAVE TO MOVE TO A DIFFERENT AREA THAT ISN'T SO CONTAMINATED WITH OTHER TRIGGER OBJECTS.
BRANNON HAS BEEN HOLDING A SOLO SESSION DOWN IN THE BASEMENT, WHICH IS ACTUALLY A CLEANER AREA.
BUT SO FAR, HE HASN'T HAD ANY LUCK COMMUNICATING WITH SPIRITS.
WE'RE GONNA JOIN HIM DOWN IN THE BASEMENT, SEE IF WE CAN SPARK UP ANY ACTIVITY.
ONE THING WE HAVEN' TRIED IS PLAYING SOME SORT OF MUSIC OR BATTLE SOUNDS.
THAT'S TRUE.
WE CAN TRY THAT AND SEE IF THAT ELICITS ANY RESPONSE.
-I'M DOWN.
-WE CAN DO IT.
WANT ME TO SEE IF I CAN PULL SOMETHING UP ON MY PHONE? YEAH.
[GUNFIRE, MEN SCREAMING.]
THIS IS A CIVIL WAR BATTLEFIELD SOUND.
LOOK, K2.
-IT'S IN YOUR HAND.
-FLASHLIGHT IS COMING ON IN MY HAND, AND I'M NOT EVEN -- -REALLY? -YEAH.
-HOLY COW.
-K2 IS GOING CRAZY IN HERE.
WHOA.
WHEN YOU LEFT BATTLE, DID YOU COME DOWN THROUGH HERE? I WOULD LIKE TO TRY TO GE A CLEAR ANSWER FROM YOU.
ARE YOU A UNION SOLDIER? [ DEVICE BEEPING .]
-WHOA.
WHOA, LOOK AT THAT.
LOOK AT THAT -- 36.
-WHAT? -WHOA, WHOA! LOOK, 15.
4.
WHAT'S GOING ON? HEY, BRANNON, YOU GOT MY JACKET? UH, NO.
WERE YOU NOT JUS PULLING ON MY JACKET? -WHERE DID YOU FEEL IT AT? -RIGHT HERE.
NOPE, I AIN'T.
REALLY? THERE'S A LITTLE BLACK BOX HERE, THE OVILUS.
CAN YOU MAKE A WORD COME OUT OF THERE, KIND OF TELL US WHAT YOU ARE, WHO YOU ARE? DUDE, SOMETHING IS, LIKE, TUGGING ON MY JACKET.
ARE YOU -- I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING.
I THOUGHT CHRIS WAS SCREWING WITH ME, BUT HIS HAND IS ON HIS HIP.
COMBINING THE SOLDIER'S UNIFORM WITH THE BATTLE SOUNDS IS MAKING THE BASEMEN EXPLODE WITH ACTIVITY.
WE'LL DO A REAL-TIME ON HERE REAL QUICK.
LET'S EACH ALL JUST ASK WHATEVER QUESTION YOU HAVE ON YOUR MIND.
THEN, WE'LL SEE IF IT SAYS ANYTHING 'CAUSE THAT'S ONE THING WE HAVEN'T DONE DOWN HERE YE IS DO A REAL QUICK BURST SESSION.
-MM-HMM.
-SO DID YOU FIGHT FOR THE UNION OR THE CONFEDERATE ARMY IN THE BATTLE OF GETTYSBURG? ALL RIGHT.
CAN YOU LET US KNOW YOUR NAME? ALL RIGHT.
WHO WAS THE LEADER THAT STAYED IN THE BUILDING ACROSS THE WAY THAT ADDRESSED THE COUNTRY AT THE END OF THE WAR? LET'S CHECK AND SEE IF WE GOT AN ANSWER REAL QUICK.
WHO WAS THE LEADER THAT STAYED IN THE BUILDING ACROSS THE WAY THAT ADDRESSED THE COUNTRY AT THE END OF THE WAR? -WHOA! -OH! -OH, MY GOD! DID YOU HEAR THAT? -HOLY CRAP! Chris: WE'RE IN GETTYSBURG, SITE OF THE DEADLIEST BATTLE OF THE CIVIL WAR.
THE SPIRITS OF DEAD UNION AND CONFEDERATE SOLDIERS HAVE HAUNTED THIS TOWN AND ITS SURROUNDING FARMS FOR CENTURIES.
WE'RE CAMPED OUT IN THE BASEMEN OF THE MASON DIXON MILITARIA, HOME OF AN EPIC COLLECTION OF CIVIL WAR MEMORABILIA AND A HOT SPO OF SPIRIT ACTIVITY.
THIS IS THE FIRST NIGHT OF OUR TRIGGER-OBJECT EXPERIMENT, AND WE JUST HI THE PARANORMAL JACKPOT.
WHO WAS THE LEADER THAT STAYED IN THE BUILDING ACROSS THE WAY THAT ADDRESSED THE COUNTRY AT THE END OF THE WAR? Doogie: ALL RIGHT.
WHO WAS THE LEADER THAT STAYED IN THE BUILDING ACROSS THE WAY THAT ADDRESSED THE COUNTRY AT THE END OF THE WAR? -WHOA! -OH! -OH, MY GOD! DID YOU HEAR THAT? -HOLY CRAP! -WHOA! -OH! OH, MY GOD! -ABRAHAM LINCOLN.
-ABE LINCOLN.
-OOH.
-I TOLD YOU.
-DUDE, OKAY.
THAT'S -- -DUDE, I GOT CHILLS RIGHT NOW.
-THAT'S -- -THAT'S AWESOME.
I GOT SWEAT RUNNING OFF MY HEAD RIGHT NOW.
I MEAN, SUPER INTELLIGENT -YEP.
I MEAN, 'CAUSE WE'VE NO EVEN MENTIONED THE FULL NAME, ABRAHAM LINCOLN.
I'VE SAID LINCOLN ONCE BUT NOT ABRAHAM LINCOLN.
-I KNOW.
-AND IT'S THERE.
MIKEY G.
WE JUST HAD THE HECK SCARED OUT OF US.
-WHAT HAPPENED? -WHAT DIDN'T HAPPEN? WHY DON'T YOU PLAY IT FOR HIM? END OF THE WAR? -OH! [ LAUGHTER .]
WHAT DO YOU THINK IT SAID? -THAT'S LINCOLN.
-YEAH.
Chris: YEAH, MAN.
I'M FLOORED BY THE WHOLE THING.
I MEAN, TO GET THA KIND OF INTERACTION UPSTAIRS AND DOWNSTAIRS.
-MM-HMM.
OH, YEAH.
WE ALSO GOT A "F YOU" EARLIER.
Porter: AND IT WAS A DEEP, GRUMBLY, MEAN, "F YOU.
" -HMM? -WHAT? YEAH, NOT TO MENTION YOUR NAME.
-WHAT? -OH.
AND THEN WE SAID, YOU KNOW, "ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT MIKE OUT IN THE VAN, OR ARE YOU TALKING ABOU IS IT YOUR NAME, MIKE?" CAN YOU GIVE US THE WORD VAN? Doogie: BRAVE VAN? -DID IT SAY VAN? -YEAH, YEAH, YEAH.
-IT SAYS VAN? -YEAH.
FREAKING ME OUT.
Chris: DID YOU SEE OR HEAR ANYTHING OUT HERE? -I DID NOT.
-ALL RIGHT, BOYS.
WHAT DO YOU THINK, PACK IT UP AND HEAD DOWN THE ROAD, GET SOME SLEEP? GET SOME SHUT-EYE AND HIT IT TOMORROW.
Porter: LET'S DO IT.
OUR FIRST NIGHT IN GETTYSBURG COULDN'T HAVE GONE ANY BETTER.
WE LEARNED THAT, WHEN WE COMBINE AUDIO TRIGGERS TO OUR TRIGGER OBJECTS IN AN AREA WITH ONE SPECIFIC HISTORY, IT GIVES US THE BEST RESULTS.
NOW IT'S TIME TO TES THIS THEORY AT STEWART FARM, WHICH WAS ONCE USED AS A MAKESHIFT FIELD HOSPITAL FOR CONFEDERATE SOLDIERS AFTER THE BATTLE.
WELL, THE FIRST THING I NOTICED WHEN WE PULLED UP IS THERE'S SOME TENTS SETTING UP BACK THERE.
-OH, YEAH? -LOOKS LIKE THERE MIGHT BE A LITTLE BATTLE REENACTMENT GOING ON.
-REALLY? -YEAH.
Doogie: DUDE, THAT SHOULD HOPEFULLY KICK UP A LITTLE SOMETHING TODAY THEN.
YOU TALK ABOUT A PERFEC TRIGGER OBJECT.
YOU KNOW, LAST NIGHT, WE HAD JUS A SATURATION OF TRIGGER ITEMS.
SO MAYBE WE CAN PINPOINT IN ON SOME OF THE SOLDIERS FROM GETTYSBURG, SOME OF THESE CONFEDERATE SOLDIERS.
WELL, I THINK THE LANDOWNER, SHE'S WAITING ON DOOGIE AND I.
WE'RE GOING TO TALK TO HER, SEE IF WE CAN GE SOME PARANORMAL EXPERIENCES AND MAYBE A LITTLE MORE HISTORY.
COOL.
BRANNON, I TELL YOU WHAT, WHY DON'T WE WALK UP HERE WHERE THESE GUYS ARE DOING THE REENACTMEN AND FIND OUT WHAT THEY KNOW ABOUT THE HISTORY OF THIS FARM.
-OH, YEAH.
-THAT SOUNDS LIKE A GOOD IDEA.
-I LIKE THAT.
-ALL RIGHT.
COOL.
LET'S DO IT, GUYS.
-SET THIS THING UP.
GOT A BEAUTIFUL PLACE OUT HERE, BUT Stephani: WELL, THANK YOU.
I KNOW A LOT OF BAD THINGS WENT DOWN BACK IN THE DAY.
I MEAN, WE HEARD THIS WAS THE MAIN ROUTE WHERE THE CONFEDERATES WERE TREATED.
THEY WOULD DROP THEM OFF.
THERE WAS LOTS AND LOTS OF SOLDIERS IN HERE.
WHAT I WAS TOLD IS THE HOUSE PROBABLY WOULD HAVE BEEN MOSTLY FOR OFFICERS AND FOR THE OPERATIONS.
THE BACKYARD WOULD HAVE BEEN A SEA OF BODIES IN TENTS.
ALSO, THE BARN, THE ENLISTED MEN WOULD BE PUT IN THE BARN, SO IT WAS JUS A BLOODY MESS.
THERE WAS TWO BODIES BURIED ON THE FARM HERE.
Doogie: OH, WOW.
AND I'M SURE IT'S PROBABLY LEFT AN IMPRIN ON THIS ENTIRE FARM AND THE HOUSE.
WHAT KIND OF PARANORMAL STUFF DO YOU EXPERIENCE HERE? ONE OF THE BEST ONES IS, IN THE UPSTAIRS BEDROOM, MY MIDDLE SON SLEPT IN THAT ROOM.
AND HE WOULD COME DOWNSTAIRS MANY, MANY TIMES, AND HE SAID HE WOULD BE LYING ON THE FLOOR BESIDE HIS BED WITH THE BLANKETS TUCKED IN AROUND HIM AND ALL THESE PEOPLE LEANING OVER HIM, LOOKING AT HIM.
AND I'M JUST LIKE, "WHAT A WEIRD STORY.
GO BACK TO BED.
" [ LAUGHTER .]
I KNOW.
I WAS A GOOD MOM.
AND WE FOUND I WAS A FIELD HOSPITAL, AND READING ABOUT WHA HAPPENED IN FIELD HOSPITALS WITH THE BODIES LINED UP ON THE FLOORS, AND YOU PICTURE THE DOCTORS AND NURSES COMING IN AND LEANING OVER THEM, LOOKING AT THEM.
-RIGHT.
-YEAH.
I DID APOLOGIZE TO MY SON.
AND EVEN NOW, STEFANI'S GRANDSON HAS HAD A RUN-IN WITH ONE OF THE PHANTOM SOLDIERS.
MAX WAS 3 YEARS OLD, AND HE STARTS SCREAMING.
WE ALL JUMPED UP AND RAN TO THE STEPS, AND HE WAS JUST SHAKING.
HE SAID THERE WAS A BLUE MONSTER.
AND THEN WE SAID, "SO WHAT DID THE BLUE MONSTER LOOK LIKE?" AND HE SAID IT WAS A MAN WITH BOOTS, BLUE HAT, AND BLUE CAPE.
OOH, UNION SOLDIER RIGHT THERE.
UNION SOLDIER.
HEY, GUYS.
Porter: TALKING TO THE CIVIL WAR RE-ENACTORS COULD GIVE US SOME VALUABLE INTEL ON THE HARSH CONDITIONS ENDURED AT STEWART FARM AFTER THE BATTLE OF GETTYSBURG.
CAN YOU TELL ME WHAT YOU GUYS ARE PLANNING UP HERE? WE'RE CWHI.
WE'RE DOING SECOND CORPS FIELD HOSPITAL.
DURING WAR, THE CONFEDERACY HAD AN AMBULANCE CORPS WHICH WAS SET UP OF INFANTRYMEN THAT WOULD GO OU AND BATTLE, AND AS MEN WERE WOUNDED, THEY WOULD STAR TENDING TO THOSE MEN.
YOU KNOW, WE'RE LOOKING AROUND HERE, AND WE SEE, YOU KNOW, THE FARM HERE, AND WE KNOW THAT THIS WAS A ROUTE OF WITHDRAWAL FOR THE CONFEDERATE ARMY.
CAN YOU DESCRIBE WHAT THE WAGONS WOULD HAVE BEEN LIKE? YOU WOULD PILE THE PEOPLE ON THEM.
END UP ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, JUST WAITING TO DIE.
-OH, WOW.
THEY'D RATHER BE THERE THAN PILED UP WITH PEOPLE THAT ARE ALREADY DEAD.
AND THERE'S PROBABLY NO WAY TO GET BACK IN AND GET THE DECEASED, SO THEY LEFT THEM THERE.
YEAH, BURIED ON THESE FARMS.
WOW.
SO WE COULD LITERALLY BE STANDING RIGHT ON TOP OF SOMEONE RIGHT NOW.
-YEAH.
THEY'RE STILL DIGGING UP BODIES ON FARMS.
-OH, WOW.
-WOW.
POSSIBLE TRIGGER OBJECTS FOR TONIGHT.
-OH, YEAH.
-OOH.
NICE.
Chris: THE GREAT THING ABOUT STEWART FARM IS IT GIVES US A CLEAR ENVIRONMEN TO DO OUR TRIGGER-OBJEC EXPERIMENT.
WE'LL ACTUALLY BE USING A WORKING CIVIL WAR MUSKET.
IT WILL NOT ONLY BE A PHYSICAL TRIGGER OBJECT, BUT WE'LL ALSO USE I AS AN AUDIO TRIGGER WHEN WE FIRE IT OFF.
WELL, GUYS, YOU WAN TO GET INTO THIS? BRANNON, WHY DON'T YOU TAKE US OFF TONIGHT, BROTHER? Brannon: DEAR HEAVENLY FATHER, WE THANK YOU FOR THE NIGH THAT YOU'VE GIVEN US, AND WE PRAY THAT YOU WOULD PROTECT US FROM ANY EVIL THAT COULD BE LURKING AND HELP US TO FIND ANSWERS.
IN JESUS' NAME, WE PRAY THESE THINGS.
AMEN.
-AMEN.
LET'S DO IT.
Chris: WHAT ARE YOU GUYS THINKING FOR A PLAN? MAYBE, PORTER, YOU CAN HANG OUT, OUT HERE, FIRE A FEW ROUNDS OFF.
SURE.
PORTER IS GONNA CAMP OUT IN THE YARD WITH THE CIVIL WAR MUSKET.
BRANNON, DOOGIE, AND I WILL START THE INVESTIGATION INSIDE THE HOUSE, STARTING WITH THE STAIRS WHERE STEFANI'S GRANDSON WAS TERRIFIED BY HIS BLUE MONSTER.
-ALL RIGHT.
-HELLO? THIS IS WHERE HE APPARENTLY, SOMEWHERE ON THIS STAIRWAY, SEEN THAT -BLUE MONSTER -YEAH.
-A.
K.
A.
UNION SOLDIER.
YEP.
Chris: WE KNOW THAT, IF YOU WERE A SOLDIER AND YOU WERE INVOLVED WITH THE BATTLE OF GETTYSBURG, THAT YOU WITNESSED A LOT OF PAIN, PROBABLY SAW A LO OF YOUR FRIENDS DIE, PROBABLY A LOT OF -- WHOA.
WHAT WAS THAT? Chris: IT'S OUR SECOND NIGH IN GETTYSBURG, SITE OF THE MOST BRUTAL BATTLE EVER FOUGHT ON AMERICAN SOIL.
OVER 51,000 MEN LOST THEIR LIVES IN THE 3-DAY BATTLE, AND EVEN NOW, THE SPIRITS OF THE FALLEN SOLDIERS HAUNT THE TOWN AND SURROUNDING FIELDS.
STEWART FARM ONCE SERVED AS A MAKESHIFT FIELD HOSPITAL DURING THE WAR.
PORTER IS STATIONED OUTSIDE AND WILL FIRE OFF AN AUTHENTIC CIVIL WAR MUSKE AS OUR TRIGGER.
HELLO? THIS IS WHERE HE APPARENTLY, SOMEWHERE ON THIS STAIRWAY, SEEN THAT -BLUE MONSTER, YEP.
WE KNOW THAT, IF YOU WERE A SOLDIER AND YOU WERE INVOLVED WITH THE BATTLE OF GETTYSBURG, THAT YOU WITNESSED A LOT OF PAIN, PROBABLY SAW A LO OF YOUR FRIENDS DIE, PROBABLY A LOT OF -- -WHOA.
WHAT WAS THAT? [ CREAK .]
THAT WAS UPSTAIRS.
GUESS WHERE.
THE BEDROOM.
YEAH.
LET'S GO AHEAD AND HEAD UP THERE.
ALL RIGHT.
THAT SOUNDED LIKE ONE OF THOSE BEDS.
ALMOST LIKE SOMETHING SAT ON ONE.
HELLO? THIS WAS ONCE A HOSPITAL FOR THE WOUNDED CONFEDERATE SOLDIERS IN THE WAR.
WERE YOU ONE OF THOSE SOLDIERS? ARE YOU HERE WITH US IN THIS ROOM? [ CLICK .]
-WHOA! WHAT WAS THAT? THAT -- GOD.
THAT WAS A BIG ONE.
ARE YOU THE ONE MAKING THE NOISE ON THE TABLE OVER HERE? CHRIS TO PORTER.
-GO AHEAD, CHRIS.
We're getting some crazy stuff up here.
WE GOT A TABLE MOVING.
GO AHEAD AND FIRE THAT THING OFF.
Chris: THE SPIRITS ARE ALREADY ACTIVE, BUT WE'RE GONNA TRY TO KICK IT UP ANOTHER NOTCH.
WE GOT PORTER OUTSIDE.
HE'S ABOUT TO FIRE OFF A BLANK FROM A MUSKET, WHICH IS A HUGE TRIGGER.
FIRE! -WHOA.
-WHOA! HERE IT IS, RIGHT HERE, RIGHT HERE ON ME.
I CAN FEEL I ON MY HAND.
DUDE, MY HAND IS, LIKE, FREEZING.
OH, CRAP.
Porter to Chris.
HOLD ON A SECOND, PORTER.
-HOMICIDE! -HOMICIDE! HOLY CRAP, DUDE.
I'M, LIKE -- I'M NERVOUS RIGHT NOW.
Porter: WHAT'S THIS? IS SOMEBODY IN THE STAIRCASE? LOOKS LIKE A SHADOW FIGURE STANDING BACK THERE.
Hey, guys.
Is anyone walking up the staircase? HUH? NO.
NOTHING.
I THOUGHT I SAW SOME MOVEMEN IN THE WINDOW OUT OF THE CORNER OF MY EYE, AND THAT'S WHY I WAS ASKING IF SOMEBODY WAS IN THERE.
WELL, LIKE I WAS SAYING, WHAT IF, LIKE, THIS -- WAS THAT -- WHOA.
Doogie: WHAT WAS THAT? SOMETHING'S MOVING ON THE STAIRS.
WHAT? DUDE.
666 AGAIN.
LOOK.
SOMETHING'S FIXING TO HAPPEN.
SATAN? Chris: IT'S OUR LAST NIGH IN PENNSYLVANIA, WHERE OVER 51,000 AMERICAN SOLDIERS LOST THEIR LIVES DURING THE MOST HORRIFIC BATTLE OF THE CIVIL WAR, GETTYSBURG.
WE'RE AT STEWART FARM, ONCE A MAKESHIFT FIELD HOSPITAL AFTER THE BATTLE.
WE'RE GETTING AMAZING RESULTS AFTER OUR TRIGGER-OBJEC EXPERIMENT -WHOA! -WHOA! WITH PORTER USING AN AUTHENTIC CIVIL WAR MUSKE AS OUR TRIGGER DOWN IN THE YARD WHILE BRANNON, DOOGIE, AND I INVESTIGATE THE OLD OPERATING ROOM UPSTAIRS.
SATAN? Hey, guys.
I JUST GOT SATAN ON THE OVILUS OUT HERE, NEXT TO ME.
Chris: YEAH.
WE HEARD THAT FROM ALL THE WAY UP HERE, AND GUESS WHAT WE GOT ON THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE ON THE MILL? THAT'S A BIG COPY.
Maybe get another round ready.
WE GOT "HOMICIDE" ON THE OVILUS as soon as you fired it off last time, so I think that's waking them up.
-WHAT? -UNHOLY? Brannon: CRAP.
UNHOLY.
WE'VE GOT 666.
PORTER GOT SATAN.
WE GOT UNHOLY.
GREAT.
IT SOUNDS LIKE, MAN, WE'RE DEALING WITH SOMETHING THAT'S EVIL OR REALLY FREAKING ANGRY.
MAYBE ALL THE NEGATIVE EVENTS HAPPENED CAUSES THIS NEGATIVE ENERGY THAT THESE DEMONS FEED OFF OF MAYBE? YEAH.
WHEN THERE'S A LOT OF BLOODSHED, WHEN THERE'S A LOT OF EVIL TAKING PLACE, MURDER STUFF, I MEAN, THAT'S -- IT JUST HARBORS ITSELF.
MAN, DO WE MAYBE WAN TO HEAD TO THE BARN? WITH SO MUCH ACTIVITY HERE IN THE OPERATING ROOM, WE REALLY WANT TO CHECK OU THE BARN BEFORE WE HEAD OUT.
THAT'S WHERE A LOT OF THE ENLISTED MEN WERE TREATED, AND MANY OF THEM DIED.
ALL RIGHT.
LET'S SEE IF PORTER WILL FIRE THAT GUN OFF.
Hey, Porter, I think we're about ready for the big boom.
ALL RIGHT.
STAND BY.
I'LL PREP THE SHOT.
TWO ROUNDS HERE.
THIS IS GONNA BE A DOUBLE BIG BANG.
Okay.
WHAT WAS THAT? WHAT DID WE JUST HEAR? WHAT WAS THAT? WHAT DID WE JUST HEAR? A CANNON.
A CANNON.
-WHOA.
-CLEAR AS DAY.
A CANNON.
THAT'S WHAT IT SAID, "A CANNON.
" WHAT DID WE JUST HEAR? YOU'RE A LITTLE OFF.
IT'S A RIFLE, BUT, I MEAN, THAT'S CLOSE ENOUGH.
YEAH.
BOOGITY BOO.
I GOT CHILLIES ALL OVER.
GUYS, WE'RE GETTING THE BES EVPs EVER ON THIS THING.
Chris: HEY, PORTER, MAN.
WE GOT TO RECAP YOU.
OKAY.
SO, WE DID A QUICK BURST SESSION.
WE ASKED, AFTER YOU SHOT -UH-HUH.
WE ASKED, "WHAT WAS THA THAT WAS JUST FIRED?" AND IT SAID, CLEAR AS DAY, "A CANNON," ON THE EVP, LIKE REALLY? I MEAN, IT'S WRONG, OBVIOUSLY, BUT IT MAY NOT BE.
Doogie: REALLY? THAT WAS A DOUBLE LOAD.
EARLIER TODAY, WHEN I WAS UP THERE WITH THE GUYS IN THE FIELD DOING THE REENACTMEN STUFF, THEY SAID THAT, WHEN YOU DOUBLE LOAD THOSE MUSKETS AND YOU FIRE THEM OFF LIKE THAT, THEY SAID IT ALMOS SOUNDS LIKE A CANNON.
[ LAUGHTER .]
-OH, MY GOSH.
THAT MUSKET SEEMS TO FIRE UP PARANORMAL ACTIVITY EVERY TIME I FIRE IT.
WHETHER IT'S THE SOUND THAT'S SO TIED TO WHAT HAPPENED AT THIS PLACE OR IT'S THE ENERGY RELEASED, SOMETHING TO DO WITH THA COMBINATION IN A TRIGGER ITEM IS REALLY WHAT WORKS THE BES WHEN WE'RE TRYING TO STIR UP PARANORMAL ACTIVITY.
WHAT DO YOU THINK, GUYS? I SAY, LET'S ROLL IT UP, GO GET SOME SHUT-EYE.
-LET'S GO GET WARM.
-ALL RIGHT.
-LET'S BREAK IT DOWN.
-COOL.
ALL RIGHT, FELLAS.
WELL, BOYS, GETTYSBURG DIDN' DISAPPOINT, DID IT? -NO, MAN.
-NOT AT ALL.
I MEAN, THIS PLACE, TO ME, HAS BEEN ABSOLUTELY JUST AMAZING.
IT'S LIKE A PARANORMAL THEME PARK.
OH, THIS PLACE HAS BEEN ON MY BUCKET LIST FOR A LONG TIME.
I MEAN, IT'S BEEN A WHILE SINCE WE'VE HEARD EVPs THAT GOOD.
-HMM? -WHAT? -WHOA! -OH, MY GOD! SEEING YOU TWO EMBRACE EACH OTHER, THAT WAS ABSOLUTELY PRICELESS.
YOU KNOW, THE THEME HERE WAS TRIGGER OBJECTS.
-MM-HMM.
-THE GUNS, THE ARMS, THAT SEEMS TO REALLY FIRE THEM UP.
WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THIS? SATAN? WELL, YOU THINK ABOU WHERE WE'RE AT, AND YOU THINK ABOU THE HISTORY HERE, 51,000-PLUS LIVES LOST.
SOME ARE STILL, YOU KNOW, IN EVERY PIECE OF THE LAND AROUND HERE.
I MEAN, ALL THE WEAPONS FIRED, THE CANNON FIRE, IT WAS BRUTAL.
WE KNOW THAT THA TYPE OF ACTIVITY LEAVES AN INDELIBLE MARK ON A LOCATION.
I THINK THERE'S SOMETHING CONNECTED TO EVIL HERE AS WELL.
Doogie: FOR SURE.
YOU KNOW THE BAD MAN'S HANGING AROUND WHEN YOU GOT THA MUCH DEATH GOING ON.
I JUST WANT TO SAY, KIND OF MY FINAL CONCLUSION ON THESE TRIGGER OBJECTS, IT SEEMS LIKE WHATEVER IS HERE REACTS THE MOST TO THE GUNFIRE MORESO THAN MAYBE THE OTHER THINGS.
Chris: THE TRIGGER OBJECTS THA WE ASSOCIATED WITH THE CIVILIANS GOT THE WEAKEST RESPONSES, BUT THE PHYSICAL AND AUDIO TRIGGERS THAT WERE ASSOCIATED WITH THE SOLDIERS, THE REVOLVER, THE UNIFORM -LOOK, K2.
-WHOA.
THE BATTLE SOUNDS, AND THE MUSKET FIRING ALL GOT AMAZING RESULTS.
SO IT LOOKS LIKE THE PARANORMAL ACTIVITY IN THIS TOWN IS PRIMARILY BROUGHT ABOU BY THE FALLEN SOLDIERS OF THE BATTLE OF GETTYSBURG, AND WITH ALL THE DEATH AND DESTRUCTION, A PRESENCE OF EVIL WAITING TO MAKE ITSELF KNOWN.
I THINK, YOU KNOW, IT'S IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER THE GETTYSBURG SOLDIERS OF OLD.
THEY MAY BE GONE, BUT THEY'VE SHOWED US HERE THIS WEEKEND THAT THEY'LL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN.
-THAT'S RIGHT.
-YOU GOT THAT RIGHT.
WELL, BOYS, WHAT DO YOU SAY WE PUT ON OUR DRIVING GOGGLES AND HEAD ON THE ROAD? -LET'S DO IT.
-ALL RIGHT.
-OH, YEAH.
-LET'S DO IT.
Brannon: LET'S JUST KEEP THIS WEATHER.
