My Ghost Story (2010) s04e01 Episode Script
The Uninvited
1 -Man: WHOA! -Man #2: OH.
Gotti: MY CHAIR WENT FLYING, ALMOST LIKE A SOMERSAULT.
Gonzalez: THE PSYCHIC PICKED UP ON CHILDREN BEING TRAPPED IN THE BASEMENT.
Dawn: WE'D SEEN THE CHAIR MOVING ON ITS OWN.
[ CLANG .]
DeMaria: THE DOOR OPENS.
ALL OF A SUDDEN, YOU HEAR A CHILLING SCREAM OF A FEMALE.
Aaron: THERE'S SOMETHING BEYOND OUR REALM THAT WAS MESSING WITH MY WIFE.
Rice: THE SPIRI OF THE LITTLE BOY.
I THINK HIS PRESENCE IS VERY STRONG THERE.
Mitchel: THERE IS THE FIGURE OF A MAN STANDING RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE PORCH.
Carr: I FELT A HAND HAD GRABBED AROUND MY NECK AND WAS PUSHING ME TO THE GROUND.
Gotti: SHE WASN'T FOUND UNTIL THE END OF HER SHIFT -- IN A G-STRING AND A POOL OF BLOOD.
DeMaria: ONE OF OUR CREW, CHRIS, WAS KNOCKED DOWN.
IT WAS TERRIFYING.
Gotti: MY GHOST STORY BEGAN WHEN I STARTED WORKING AS A MANAGER AT TIMES SQUARE COMEDY CLUB IN MANHATTAN, NEW YORK CITY.
[ HORN HONKS .]
TIMES SQUARE COMEDY CLUB HAS FIVE DIFFERENT SHOWROOMS.
IT'S 26,000 SQUARE FEET.
IT'S A PRETTY BIG PLACE.
IN THE '20s, IT WAS A CREMATORIUM, THEN IT BECAME A GENTLEMEN'S CLUB.
BACK IN 1991, THERE WAS AN EXOTIC DANCER NAMED YVONNE HAUSLEY [ WHISTLES, APPLAUSE .]
[ WOMAN SCREAMS .]
Gotti: WHO WAS STABBED 28 TIMES BY A SERIAL KILLER.
SHE WASN'T FOUND UNTIL THE END OF HER SHIFT -- IN A G-STRING AND A POOL OF BLOOD.
[ SIRENS WAIL .]
CLOSING THE CLUB AT NIGHT MYSELF, THAT'S WHEN I STARTED HEARING VOICES, SEEING DOORS OPEN, ALWAYS FEELING LIKE SOMEONE'S WATCHING ME.
AND THERE'S A CERTAIN WAY TO LOCK UP.
I START AT THE FRONT DOOR, AND I WOULD WORK MY WAY FROM THEATER TO THEATER.
THEATER TWO IS THE ONE SHOWROOM THAT'S, TO ME, THE CREEPIEST.
MOST OF THE STUFF HAPPENS IN THEATER TWO.
I WOULD SEE SHADOWS.
I WOULD HEAR MY NAME.
I WOULD FEEL SOMETHING ON MY NECK.
ALL THIS STUFF YOU CAN'T EXPLAIN.
I WAS LOCKING UP THE CLUB, AND I HEARD A BIG CRASH.
[ CRASH .]
I'M FIGURING MAYBE I FORGOT A BAR GATE.
AND THEN I HEARD A LOUD, YELPING SCREAM.
AND WHEN I WENT INTO THEATER TWO TO PUT THE LIGHTS ON, THAT'S WHEN THERE WAS CHAIRS STACKED IN FRON OF THE LIGHT SWITCH, PREVENTING ME FROM TURNING THE LIGHT ON.
I MEAN, YOU WOULD NEED A 6-FOOT LADDER TO STACK THE CHAIRS THIS HIGH.
AT THAT POINT, I WAS LIKE, "THERE'S NO WAY I'M DOING THIS LIKE THIS EVERY SINGLE NIGHT.
" I WANTED TO FIND OU WHAT WAS GOING ON IN THE CLUB AND IF THERE WAS SOMETHING THAT WE CAN DO ABOUT IT, AND THAT'S WHEN I CALLED KEVIN.
DeMaria: THEY WERE HAVING SOME EXPERIENCES THERE THAT WERE DEFINITELY OUT OF THE ORDINARY.
THERE ARE NO WINDOWS IN THE CLUB, SO IT'S ALWAYS PITCH BLACK.
SO, WHEN YOU WALK IN THERE, YOU GET THE CHILLS.
IMMEDIATELY, YOU GET THAT FEELING OF SOMEBODY WATCHING YOU, AND IF YOU DO GET CAUGH IN THE ROOM ALONE, YOU COULD FEEL THE PRESENCE.
IT'S TERRIFYING.
TERRIFYING.
GHOSTINK IS THE ONLY HUNTING TEAM THAT HAS THE MECHANISM THAT WILL ELECTRIFY A ROOM.
WE CALL IT OUR GHOST MACHINE.
THE HUMAN BODY WORKS ON ELECTRICITY.
WHAT WE BELIEVE IS WHEN YOU DIE, THAT ELECTRICITY HAS TO GO SOMEWHERE.
SO, WHEN WE ELECTRIFY A ROOM WITH OUR GHOST MACHINE, SPIRITS DRAW OFF OF I IMMEDIATELY.
SO, FIRST, WE WEN INTO STUDIO ONE, AND AFTER ENERGIZING THE ROOM, WE STARTED AN EVP SESSION.
WE HAD DENNIS GOTTI THERE, AS WELL.
WE WANTED HIM TO EXPERIENCE WHAT WE EXPERIENCED.
Gotti: THERE WAS AN EVP THAT KEVIN CAPTURED OF A GIRL GIGGLING, "HE, HE, HE, HE," AND SAYING, "HI.
" DeMaria: IT WAS FRIGHTENING TO HEAR TWO FEMALES -- ONE LAUGHING AND ONE SAYING VERY, VERY CLEARLY, "HI.
" THEN, WE SET UP A GHOST MACHINE, AND WHEN WE SENT THE CHARGE OF 500,000 VOLTS INTO THE ROOM, WE HAD A TABLE AND A CHAIR FLIP.
Man: WHOA! Gotti: THAT HAPPENED WITH ME IN THE ROOM, AND THAT REALLY DISTURBED ME.
-Man: WHOA! -Man #2: OH.
Gotti: I ENDED THE NIGHT.
I TOLD KEVIN HE HAD TO LEAVE.
"EVERYBODY GET YOUR STUFF AND GET OUT.
I'M NOT STAYING IN HERE ANYMORE.
" THIS WAS PROBABLY LIKE 2:30 IN THE MORNING.
DeMaria: THE SECOND DAY, WE WENT BACK.
TIM, WHO IS OUR SKEPTIC, HE WAS TOUCHED ON THE BACK OF THE HEAD LIKE THIS.
Man: NO.
Tim: I SWEAR TO GOD, IT FELT LIKE SOMEBODY LIKE, JUST RAN THEIR FINGER Man: WOW.
Tim: LIKE, DOWN THE BACK OF MY HEAD, DOWN TO MY SHOULDER.
DeMaria: ANOTHER TEAM MEMBER, CHRIS, WAS IN STUDIO THREE.
AND HE WAS KNOCKED DOWN.
-DeMaria: WHOA.
-Chris: [ GROANS .]
DeMaria: HE WAS KNOCKED RIGHT OFF HIS FEET.
HE HAD A HANDPRINT ON HIS CHEST.
FROM STUDIO THREE, WE WEN DIRECTLY INTO STUDIO TWO.
AND THE MINUTE WE CONNECTED OUR INFRARED CAMERA, IT CAUGHT THE APPARITION, WE BELIEVE, OF YVONNE.
Gotti: YVONNE HAUSLEY WAS STABBED IN THE DRESSING ROOM OF THEATER TWO, AND THEATER TWO IS WHERE I WOULD SEE A SHADOW WHEN I WAS CLOSING THE CLUB AT NIGHT BY MYSELF.
DeMaria: AS SOON AS THE SHADOW LEAVES THE CAMERA FRAME, AN ORB APPEARS AND SHOOTS BY THE CAMERA, SO WE THINK IT'S THE MANIFESTATION FROM THE ENERGY THAT WE USED TO ELECTRIFY THE ROOM, AND I THINK IT WENT BACK INTO ORB WHEN IT LOST THAT ENERGY TO CONTINUE.
Gotti: WE ACTUALLY WEN IN THE THEATER TO SEE IF THERE WAS A LIGH THERE, AND THERE'S NO -- THERE'S NOT EVEN A LIGHT THERE IF WE WANTED TO TURN ONE ON.
DeMaria: THERE'S A UTILITY CLOSET THAT THE CUSTODIAN USES, AND WE ALREADY HEARD ABOUT THIS DOOR CONSTANTLY BEING OPENED EVEN WHEN IT'S LOCKED.
Gotti: I PUT IN THE DOOR HANDLE.
I TUGGED ON I AS HARD AS I POSSIBLY COULD TO MAKE SURE IT WOULDN'T OPEN.
KEVIN SET UP SOME CAMERAS IN THE HALLWAY, AND AGAIN, THE DOOR OPENED UP.
DeMaria: THE DOOR OPENS, AND ALL OF A SUDDEN, YOU HEAR A CHILLING SCREAM OF A FEMALE, SOUNDING LIKE SHE'S BEING MURDERED.
AND THREE SECONDS AFTER HER VOICE, A VERY DEEP AND DARK MALE VOICE SAYS, "RELAX.
" WE THINK THAT IS A RESIDUAL HAUNTING.
Gotti: FOR ME, IT WAS LIKE, "HA, I KNEW IT.
" I KNEW THERE WAS SOMETHING GOING ON, SO THAT WAS VALIDATION.
IT'S BEYOND SCARING ME NOW.
I'M IN MY HOUSE, I'LL FEEL -- DID I HEAR A NOISE? IS WHATEVER IT IS FOLLOWING ME? IS YVONNE HAUSLEY FOLLOWING ME HOME? I THINK IF SHE WANTED TO HURT ME, SHE COULD.
DeMaria: BEING A PSYCHIC AND A MEDIUM, I BELIEVE YVONNE IS ABSOLUTELY HAUNTING THE CLUB.
I BELIEVE THAT SHE HAS SOME UNFINISHED BUSINESS, AND SHE'S GONNA TELL THE STORY THAT SHE WANTS TO TELL.
AND SHE CONTINUALLY REACHES OUT.
Gotti: I WAS THE TYPE OF PERSON THAT NEEDED TO SEE I TO BELIEVE IT.
I SAW IT, AND I DEFINITELY BELIEVE IT.
Mitchel: THERE IS A FIGURE OF A MAN STANDING RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE PORCH.
Tami: THE LADY TOOK A PHOTOGRAPH OF MITCHEL WHEN HE GAVE THE TOUR THAT DAY.
Mitchel: BEHIND ME WAS THIS GLARING WHITE OBJECT.
MY GHOST STORY BEGAN WHEN MY WIFE AND I MOVED INTO AN 1861 HOME CALLED THE GROVE IN JEFFERSON, TEXAS.
MY WIFE AND I GREW UP IN EAST TEXAS, BUT WE WERE FAMILIAR WITH JEFFERSON.
JEFFERSON IS A TOWN WITH MANY HISTORIC HOMES.
THE CITY IS PRETTY MUCH PRESERVED AS IT WAS BEFORE THE CIVIL WAR.
BUT THERE WAS SOMETHING ABOU THE GROVE WHEN WE FIRST SAW I THAT REALLY CALLED OUT TO US.
WE HAD TO OWN IT.
Tami: THE MORE THAT I LOOKED AT THE HOUSE, THE MORE I COULD SEE WHAT IT COULD BECOME.
WE JUST FELL IN LOVE WITH IT.
Mitchel: STRANGE THINGS BEGAN TO HAPPEN JUST IMMEDIATELY.
WE STARTED NOTICING THESE LITTLE SHADOWS IN THE CORNER OF OUR EYES.
A LITTLE SHADOW WOULD STEP FROM THE GAME ROOM INTO THE STAIRWELL.
YOU'D LOOK, AND NOBODY WOULD BE THERE.
THIS BECAME SO PREVALEN THAT I CALLED THE FORMER OWNER, AND HE SAID, "OH, YEAH.
PEOPLE HAVE BEEN SEEING THA FOR A LONG TIME.
" Tami: YOU JUST HAVE THE SENSE THAT YOU'RE BEING WATCHED, AND IT JUST GIVES YOU A VERY EERIE FEELING.
Mitchel: THE FORMER OWNER OF THE HOUSE HAD DONE A LOT OF RESEARCH ON THE HISTORY OF THE HOUSE.
AFTER THE CIVIL WAR WAS OVER, A FEW FREED SLAVES WERE SPEAKING AT A RALLY THERE IN TOWN.
[ INDISTINCT SHOUTING .]
THERE WAS AN ORGANIZATION CALLED THE KNIGHTS OF THE RISING SUN, GENTLEMEN THAT WORE THE HOODS AND RODE HORSEBACK.
THEY SHOWED UP, AND THEY MURDERED TWO FREED SLAVES.
[ HORSE WHINNIES .]
THEY KILLED THEM AT THE END OF THE STREET.
ON A MAP THAT WAS DONE FOR THE TRIAL OF THESE MEN, THESE KNIGHTS OF THE RISING SUN, THE ONLY HOME THAT IS MARKED IN THE AREA IS CALLED "MR.
STILLEY'S HOUSE," AND STILLEY WAS THE GENTLEMAN THAT BUILT THE GROVE BACK IN 1861, SO THERE'S SOMETHING VERY INTEGRAL ABOUT OUR HOUSE THAT PLAYED A PART THAT NIGH IN ALL THE BAD THINGS THAT TOOK PLACE.
Tami: BECAUSE JEFFERSON IS SO BUILT ON ITS HISTORY, WE FELT A COMMITMENT TO THE CITY TO OPEN UP OUR HOME AND SHARE ITS HISTORY.
Mitchel: WE DECIDED TO OPEN THE GROVE UP AS A TOUR HOME SO THAT PEOPLE COULD COME THROUGH AND WE COULD SHARE WITH THEM HOW OUR HOUSE RELATES TO JEFFERSON.
Tami: OVER THE YEARS, PEOPLE HAVE TAKEN MANY DIFFERENT PHOTOGRAPHS OF UNEXPLAINED PHENOMENA THEY'VE SEEN ON THE TOURS.
Mitchel: I'VE HEARD SOME INCREDIBLE THINGS PEOPLE HAVE SHARED WITH US.
Tami: A LOT OF TIMES, WE HAVE TOURISTS THAT WILL SEND US PICTURES, AND THEY'LL HAVE MISTS THAT WILL BE IN THEM.
Mitchel: WE SEE THESE A LOT.
PEOPLE SEND THEM TO US ALL THE TIME.
Tami: WE TRY VERY, VERY HARD TO EXPLAIN THE MIST AWAY.
I FIND IT A LITTLE EERIE.
YOU DON'T REALLY KNOW WHAT IT IS.
Mitchel: WE'LL LOOK AND SEE IF IT COULD BE A SHADOW, IF IT COULD BE A REFLECTION.
MANY TIMES, THERE'S JUST NO EXPLANATION.
ONE OF OUR VISITORS WAS WALKING, LIKE, OUT TO THE CAR AFTER THE TOUR.
SHE TURNED AROUND, HAD ONE PICTURE LEFT ON A CAMERA.
SHE REACHED UP, TOOK THE PICTURE, GOT IN THE CAR, LEFT.
WHEN SHE HAD IT DEVELOPED, THERE IS A FIGURE OF A MAN STANDING RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE PORCH.
Carr: THE BOY THAT WAS KILLED THERE IS STILL HAUNTING THE LOCATION.
I ASKED THE SPIRIT, "WHAT DID HE DO TO YOU?" AND ALL OF A SUDDEN, I FELT A HAND HAD GRABBED AROUND MY NECK AND PUSHING ME TO THE GROUND.
IT WAS PROBABLY ONE OF THE MOST INTENSE EXPERIENCES I HAVE EVER HAD.
Mitchel: ONE OF OUR VISITORS WAS WALKING, LIKE, OUT TO THE CAR AFTER THE TOUR.
SHE TURNED AROUND, HAD ONE PICTURE LEFT ON A CAMERA.
SHE REACHED UP, TOOK THE PICTURE, GOT IN THE CAR, LEFT.
WHEN SHE HAD IT DEVELOPED, THERE IS A FIGURE OF A MAN STANDING RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE PORCH.
Tami: YOU CAN SEE A GENTLEMAN STANDING ON THE PORCH, AND IT LOOKS LIKE HE IS A CONFEDERATE SOLDIER.
IT LOOKS LIKE HE'S IN A GRAY UNIFORM WITH A SASH ACROSS HIS CHEST.
Mitchel: I WENT BACK IMMEDIATELY AND TRIED TO LOOK AT THAT SAME PICTURE AT THE EXACT SAME TIME OF DAY UNDER THE EXACT SAME LIGHTING CONDITIONS, AND THERE ARE NO SHADOWS.
THERE IS NOTHING THERE THAT COULD FORM A MAN AND GIVE US THE EXPLANATION TO WRITE THAT OFF.
Tami: I JUST THOUGH THAT IT WAS ANOTHER SPIRI THAT WAS COMING BACK TO VISIT THE GROVE.
THAT'S ONE OF THE INTERESTING THINGS.
WE HAVE SO MANY THAT COME BACK TO SEE US THAT YOU NEVER KNOW WHO'S GONNA BE THERE.
Mitchel: IN TRACING BACK THE HISTORY OF THE HOUSE, MY WIFE AND I ARE ONLY THE EIGHTH OWNERS OF THIS HOUSE SINCE IT WAS BUILT IN 1861.
Tami: PROBABLY THE MOST INFAMOUS COUPLE THAT HAS HAD OUR HOUSE WAS CHARLIE AND HIS WIFE, DAPHNE YOUNG.
Mitchel: CHARLIE YOUNG AND HIS WIFE, DAPHNE, WERE BOTH FREED SLAVES, AND CHARLIE AND DAPHNE RAISED THREE CHILDREN AT THE PLACE.
Tami: HE WAS A BARBER IN JEFFERSON, AND HE WAS FAVORED BY ALL OF THE WEALTHY BANKERS.
Mitchel: HE MADE HIMSELF INTO A VERY ACCLAIMED BARBER.
THEY SAY IT WAS VERY PRESTIGIOUS TO HAVE YOUR HAIR CU BY MR.
CHARLIE.
Tami: THEIR FAMILY HAD THE HOME FOR ALMOST 100 YEARS.
Mitchel: I THINK A LOT OF THE ACTIVITY THAT TAKES PLACE AT THE GROVE CAN BE TRACED BACK TO FORMER OWNERS.
ONE AFTERNOON, I WAS SITTING AT MY COMPUTER, AND OUR DOG STARTED BARKING.
[ BARKS .]
Mitchel: I IMMEDIATELY WEN TO PUT ON MY SHOES SO I COULD GO OUTSIDE AND TALK TO WHOEVER IT WAS.
I LOOKED, AND THERE WAS NOBODY THERE, AND I THOUGHT, "WELL, SOMEBODY'S JUST COME AND GONE.
" I WENT AROUND, LOOKED DOWN THE SIDE OF THE HOUSE TO SEE.
THERE WAS NOBODY THERE.
AS I WAS WALKING BACK TO THE DOOR, I HAPPENED TO LOOK DOWN AT THE GROUND, AND LAYING ON THE GRASS WAS A SHAVING BRUSH.
THE BRISTLES HAD ALL ROTTED OFF.
YOU COULD TELL IT WAS KIND OF YELLOWED WITH AGE.
A PLACE I'D MOWED A HUNDRED TIMES.
IT WAS LAYING THERE AS IF SOMEBODY HAD LAID IT DOWN THERE FOR ME.
PREVIOUSLY, THE FORMER OWNER HAD BROUGHT ME ALL OF CHARLIE YOUNG'S SHAVING EQUIPMENT -- HIS MIRROR, HIS MUG, EVEN HIS STRAIGHT RAZOR.
Tami: THAT SHAVING KIT WE RECEIVED WAS MISSING THE BRUSH.
IT MATCHES THE REST OF THE KIT.
IT IS ALSO DATED AS THE REST OF THE KIT.
Mitchel: THIS IS NOT SOMETHING YOU COULD JUST GO BUY OFF THE SHELF TODAY, BUT I THINK THAT CHARLIE HAD SIMPLY COME BACK AND SAID, "YOU THOUGH YOU HAD THE WHOLE SET.
NOW YOU DO.
" ONE OF THE MOST INTERESTING PHOTOGRAPHS THAT I'VE RECEIVED WAS AT THE VERY STAR OF THE MORNING TOUR, 11:00 A.
M.
ON A SUNDAY.
Tami: MITCHEL ALWAYS STANDS FACING THE SUN WHEN HE STARTS TO GIVE THE TOURS SO THAT THE SUNLIGH IS NOT IN THE TOURISTS' EYES.
WE HAD A LADY THAT TOOK A PHOTOGRAPH OF MITCHEL WHEN HE GAVE THE TOUR THAT DAY.
Mitchel: THE PHOTOGRAPH TURNS OU THAT BEHIND ME WAS THIS GLARING WHITE OBJECT.
NOBODY CAN SEE IT.
THEY'RE STANDING THERE, BUT YE THERE WAS SOMETHING THERE THAT WASN'T VISIBLE TO THE EYE.
IF ANY KIND OF OBJECT HAD FLOWN IN OR BEEN THROWN IN, WE ALL WOULD HAVE NOTICED IT.
HERE SOMETHING WAS JUST THERE OVER MY SHOULDER, AND YET IT WASN' A FRIGHTENING THING.
THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT THAT PICTURE THAT'S JUST COMPELLING TO ME.
IT GIVES ME A GOOD FEELING.
IT GIVES ME A VERY PEACEFUL FEELING.
Tami: IT WAS AMAZING.
IT MADE US FEEL AS THOUGH WE'RE SUPPOSED TO BE THERE AND THE YOUNG FAMILY WANTS THEIR MARK TO BE THERE.
I FEEL LIKE THE FAMILY LIKES US BEING IN THE HOME BECAUSE WE HAVE TRIED TO HONOR THEM.
WE'VE KIND OF BROUGHT CLOSURE AND RECOGNITION TO WHO THEY ARE AND THE IMPORTANCE THAT THEY PLAYED.
Mitchel: THIS IS A CHANCE FOR US TO PRESERVE THEIR LIVES, TO BE ABLE TO GIVE FUTURE OWNERS DOCUMENTATION THAT SHOWS WHO THE YOUNGS WERE AND WHAT THEY DID.
WE'VE BECOME VERY, VERY ATTACHED TO THIS FAMILY.
Tami: I FEEL THAT THE HOUSE HAS A SOUL.
I FEEL AN ATTACHMEN TO THIS HOUSE.
Mitchell: WHATEVER ACTIVITY WE HAVE GOING ON IN THE HOUSE, I THINK THAT THAT'S PROBABLY GOING TO CONTINUE AS LONG AS WE OWN THE HOUSE AND BEYOND TO THE NEXT OWNERS.
I HOPE THAT THEY CAN UNDERSTAND IT'S A PEEK INTO THE OTHER SIDE, A CHANCE TO SEE THAT WE DO GO ON.
THERE'S MORE THAN JUST THIS TANGIBLE LIFE THAT WE HAVE HERE.
I THINK THE GROVE, IT'S BECOME PART OF MY HEART AND SOUL.
I'M VERY ATTACHED TO IT, AND ONE OF THESE DAYS, I'LL PROBABLY COME BACK MYSELF.
Rice: WE HAVE CONFIRMED QUITE A FEW DEATHS IN THE MILL.
Carr: THERE'S THIS ECTO-MIS COMING RIGHT OFF MY SHOULDER.
I FELT A HAND HAD GRABBED AROUND MY NECK AND WAS PUSHING ME TO THE GROUND.
Carr: MY GHOST STORY BEGAN WHEN I VISITED THE BARON WOOLEN MILL AND CAUGHT A PHOTOGRAPH OF A SPIRIT.
THE BARON WOOLEN MILL HAS AN INTERESTING HISTORY.
IT WAS BUILT IN THE 1870s, RAN FOR OVER 100 YEARS.
IT BURNT DOWN THREE TIMES.
IT WAS ONE OF THE ONLY BUSINESSES IN UTAH THAT SURVIVED THE DEPRESSION.
IT WAS ONE OF THOSE YOU DRIVE BY AND YOU GO, "OH, THIS PLACE HAS GOT TO BE HAUNTED.
" SO, I DID A LOT OF RESEARCH, FOUND THE OWNERS, AND THEY ALLOWED US TO GO INTO THE MILL.
JESSICA COMES WITH US ON OCCASION TO SOME OF THE INVESTIGATIONS.
Rice: THE FIRST TIME I EVER WALKED INTO THE BARON WOOLEN MILL, I DEFINITELY FEL THERE WAS SOMETHING THERE.
THERE WAS A LOT OF ENERGY.
Carr: SOMETIMES, THE ENERGY CAN BE A LITTLE DARK.
THERE HAVE BEEN TIMES THAT PEOPLE HAVE GONE INTO THE LOCATION AND JUST STEPPED OU 'CAUSE THEY JUST CAN'T HANDLE THE OVERWHELMING NEGATIVE ENERGY THAT'S FELT IN THE PLACE.
WE WERE WALKING THROUGH THE MILL, AND WE DECIDED TO GO OVER TO THE WOOL-PROCESSING AREA.
AND AS I WAS WALKING ON, I SAID, "THERE'S A COLD SPOT RIGHT HERE.
IT'S FREEZING RIGHT HERE.
" THIS WAS THE MIDDLE OF JULY IN UTAH.
IT WAS PROBABLY ABOUT 90 DEGREES AT NIGHT.
AND SOMEBODY TOOK A PHOTOGRAPH OF ME WALKING RIGHT IN THAT SPOT.
AND THERE'S THIS ECTO-MIS COMING RIGHT OFF MY SHOULDER.
Rice: WHEN I LOOK AT THE PHOTO OF THE MIST COMING OFF OF TOM, I FEEL THAT IT'S A SPIRI THAT'S PROBABLY ATTACHED TO HIM.
Carr: I BELIEVE THAT THAT'S ONE OF THE SPIRITS THAT HAUNTS THE PLACE, SO I BELIEVE THAT IT WAS PROBABLY THE CARETAKER.
Rice: YOU CAN DEFINITELY SEE A FACE IN THAT PHOTO.
YOU CAN MAKE OUT THE EYES AND THE NOSE AND THE MOUTH OF THE FACE.
IT'S VERY DISTINCT.
Carr: THAT KIND OF SEN SOME CHILLS DOWN MY SPINE.
KIDS WERE VERY COMMONPLACE IN FACTORIES, ESPECIALLY IN THE '30s AND '40s.
Rice: AT THE TIME THAT THE MILL WAS OPEN, THERE WERE A LOT OF CHILDREN THAT WOULD WORK THERE JUST BECAUSE THEIR HANDS WERE SMALL ENOUGH TO GET INSIDE THE MACHINERY.
Carr: THEY USED THE KIDS TO REACH INTO THE MACHINES AND UNJAM THE MACHINES.
THEY HAD A LOT OF KIDS WORKING THERE.
IN 1934, A YOUNG BOY WAS SUCKED INTO ONE OF THE MACHINES AND WAS KILLED.
I WAS STANDING BY WHAT THEY CALL THE ASH ROOM, AND I NOTICED THE DOOR TO THA PARTICULAR BUILDING OF THE MILL WAS OPEN.
AND IT'S USUALLY CLOSED AND LOCKED, SO WE WALKED INTO THE ROOM, AND I SAID, "IS THERE SOMEBODY HERE?" AND WE ACTUALLY HAVE CAPTURED ON EVP OF A YOUNG BOY SAYING, "DAD? DAD?" THERE WERE NO YOUNG CHILDREN WITH US WHEN WE GOT THAT EVP, WHICH IS ONE OF THE CLEAREST EVPs I'VE EVERY CAUGHT IN THE MILL.
Rice: THE SPIRITS OF THE CHILDREN THAT USED TO WORK THERE DO, IN FACT, STILL HANG AROUND.
Carr: I DO BELIEVE THAT THE BOY THAT DIED THERE IS STILL HAUNTING THE LOCATION.
Rice: THE SPIRI OF THE LITTLE BOY THAT WAS SUCKED INTO THAT MACHINE, I THINK HIS PRESENCE IS VERY STRONG THERE.
Carr: WE HAD SOME FRIENDS ALONG WITH US AND THE PARANORMAL TEAM, AND ONE OF THE GIRLS THAT WAS WITH US SAID SHE KEPT FEELING THERE WAS A CHILD HOLDING HER HAND.
SHE SPECIFICALLY SAID A CHILD.
IT WAS SOFT, AND IT WAS A SMALLER HAND.
AND HER HAND TEMPERATURE WAS ACTUALLY COLDER THAN HER OTHER HAND.
WE'RE ALL KIND OF STANDING AROUND IN A CIRCLE.
WE TAKE A PHOTOGRAPH OF THE GROUP STANDING IN THE CIRCLE.
YOU CAN SEE A LITTLE BOY STANDING RIGHT BEHIND HER.
YOU CAN SEE HIS FACIAL FEATURES AND ALMOST HIS TORSO RIGHT NEXT TO HER.
WE'VE HAD A LOT OF WOMEN THAT HAVE GONE TO THE BARON WOOLEN MILL -- MOSTLY MOTHERS -- WHO SAY THAT THEY FEEL LIKE THERE'S A CHILD THAT HANGS CLOSE TO THEM.
THIS YOUNG SPIRIT AT THE MILL WANTED TO BE CLOSE TO HER.
I THINK THIS CHILD'S SPIRI IS THE YOUNG BOY WHO WAS KILLED IN THE MILL.
I THINK HE'S STILL THERE BECAUSE HE DOESN'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED AND HE'S BEEN LOOKING FOR HIS PARENTS.
WE WERE DOWN IN THE BOILER ROOM, WHICH IS ONE OF THE MOS ACTIVE PARTS OF THE BUILDING.
THIS PARTICULAR ROOM IS PROBABLY ONE OF THE DARKEST PLACES IN THE BARON WOOLEN MILL.
I HAVE FELT THE PRESENCE OF SOMETHING EXTREMELY NEGATIVE -- SOMEBODY WHO WAS ALIVE AT ONE TIME WHO WAS A VERY NEGATIVE AND EVIL PERSON.
AND I TAKE A PHOTOGRAPH IN THE DARK CORNER.
AND YOU SEE THESE STREAKS OF ENERGY GOING THROUGH THE PHOTOGRAPH.
Hinkle: NOBODY REALLY WANTED TO BE IN THE HOUSE.
MY SON WAS AFRAID OF SOMETHING THAT HE CALLED THE BAD MAN.
Kaufman: I THOUGHT I WAS GOING CRAZY.
Carr: I TAKE A PHOTOGRAPH IN THE CORNER, AND YOU SEE THESE STREAKS OF ENERGY GOING THROUGH THE PHOTOGRAPH.
THE STREAKS OF ENERGY ARE NO ANY SORT OF NATURAL LIGHT.
IT LOOKS LIKE SOMEBODY'S MOVING FASTER THAN THE CAMERA CAN TAKE A PHOTOGRAPH.
I BELIEVE THAT THAT'S HOW A LOT OF SPIRITS WILL MANIFEST THEMSELVES IS WITH THESE STREAKS OF ENERGY.
I THINK IT'S THE NEGATIVE ENERGY THAT STAYS DOWN IN THAT AREA, HIDES IN THAT CORNER, AND COMES OUT OCCASIONALLY DOWN IN THE BOILER AREA.
SO, WE STARTED DOING SOME MORE RESEARCH INTO THIS PARTICULAR PAR OF THE BUILDING.
ONE OF THE STORIES THAT WE WERE TOLD IS OF THIS YOUNG GIRL BEING BROUGHT INTO THE BUILDING, ASSAULTED, AND THEN EVENTUALLY MURDERED.
I'VE HAD A FEW PSYCHICS SAY HER NAME'S MARY.
I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO COLLEC AS MUCH EVIDENCE AS I CAN ABOUT THIS YOUNG GIRL IN THE MILL AND THE ROOM WE BELIEVE SHE WAS KILLED IN.
Rice: THE FIRST TIME I WEN INTO THE ROOM WHERE MARY WAS MURDERED, I FELT VERY ANXIOUS, ALMOST LIKE SOMETHING WAS TRYING TO PUSH ME OUT OF THE ROOM.
Carr: I WAS TRYING TO CONTACT MARY, AND I WAS TRYING TO GE HER STIRRED UP.
I WANTED HER TO TALK.
I ASKED MARY, THE SPIRIT, "WHAT DID HE DO TO YOU?" AND I FELT AS IF A PHYSICAL HAND GRABBED MY WRIS AND STARTED TO PULL MY ARM BACK BEHIND MY BACK.
AT THAT SAME TIME, I FELT LIKE A HAND HAD GRABBED AROUND MY NECK AND WAS PUSHING ME TO THE GROUND.
Rice: IT WAS TAKING EVERYTHING HE COULD NOT TO LET HIS ARM BE TWISTED AROUND TO HIS BACK.
Carr: I WAS FIGHTING IT, AND I FINALLY GOT TO THE STATE WHERE I SAID, "I'VE GOT TO GET OUT OF HERE.
" AS SOON AS I WALKED OUT OF THE ROOM, I WAS FINE.
NOTHING WAS HAPPENING, BUT I HAD TWO RED MARKS ON MY NECK.
MY LEFT ARM WAS IN SO MUCH PAIN, I COULDN'T USE I THE REST OF THE NIGHT.
Rice: WHEN I LOOK AT THE PHOTOS, IT LOOKS LIKE SOMEONE IS ACTUALLY DRAGGING THEIR NAILS ACROSS THE BACK OF TOM'S NECK.
Carr: I BELIEVE THAT THE SPIRI THAT ATTACKED ME WAS THE MAN WHO KILLED MARY.
HE HAS BEEN TRAPPED IN THE BUILDING HIMSELF FOR WHAT HE DID, AND HE'S STILL IN THERE.
WHEN I ASKED, "WHAT DID HE DO? WHAT DID HE DO?" I THINK HE SHOWED ME WHAT HE DID.
I THINK HE GRABBED HER BY THE ARM AND THREW HER TO THE GROUND AND ASSAULTED HER.
I WAS SCARED, AND IT TAKES A LOT TO SCARE ME.
I ACTUALLY DID NOT GO BACK INTO THE MILL FOR THE REST OF THE NIGHT.
Rice: YOU DO HAVE TO BE CAREFUL WITH WHAT YOU'RE OPENING THE DOORS UP TO, SO I DON'T TRY TO PROVOKE JUST BECAUSE I DON'T WANT I HAPPENING TO ME.
Carr: IT'S PROBABLY ONE OF THE MOST INTENSE EXPERIENCES I HAVE EVERY HAD, AND I DON'T WANT TO GO BACK IN THERE.
THE BARON WOOLEN MILL IS DEFINITELY ONE OF THE MOS HAUNTED LOCATIONS I HAVE EVER INVESTIGATED.
Rice: AFTER MY EXPERIENCES AT THE MILL, I'M COMPLETELY CONVINCED THA GHOSTS EXIST ALL AROUND US.
Carr: WITH THE EVIDENCE THA WE'VE CAUGHT IN THE LOCATION, IT'S PROOF TO ME THA THESE SPIRITS DO LINGER.
Rice: THIS PLACE IS AMAZING, AND WITH SO MUCH STUFF GOING ON, IT'S JUST MADE I THAT MUCH MORE REAL TO ME.
Carr: THERE ARE SPIRITS HERE ON THIS EARTH THAT WANT TO COMMUNICATE WITH US AND WANT TO SHARE THEIR EXPERIENCES OF THE OTHER SIDE.
Kaufman: I JUST GOT THIS REALLY, REALLY WEIRD FEELING.
IT WAS JUST LIKE THE HAIRS ON THE BACK OF MY NECK STOOD UP.
I SAID, "I THINK THERE'S SOMEONE BEHIND ME.
" Hinkle: I WAS TERRIFIED TO BE ALONE IN THE HOUSE.
I THINK THAT WHATEVER IS THERE DEFINITELY DID NOT WANT US THERE.
MY GHOST STORY BEGAN WHEN MY SISTER-IN-LAW AND I STARTED TO EXPERIENCE UNEXPLAINED THINGS IN MY HOUSE.
IT WAS THE SUMMER OF 2008.
MY BROTHER HAD LEASED A HOME IN SOUTHERN OHIO IN GREENFIELD.
HIS WIFE, JASMINE, MY SISTER-IN-LAW, WAS PREGNANT, AND THEY WERE MOVING, AND I WAS UP THERE, HELPING HER GET SETTLED IN.
Kaufman: EVERYTHING SEEMED TO BE GOING REALLY WELL.
I WAS REALLY EXCITED THA WE LIVED RIGHT ON THE RIVER.
WE LOVED IT.
EVERYTHING WAS REALLY BEAUTIFUL.
AND THE HOUSE COULDN'T HAVE BEEN MORE PERFECT FOR US.
Hinkle: WE HAD NO NEIGHBORS.
THE NEAREST NEIGHBORS WERE AT LEAS A COUPLE HUNDRED YARDS AWAY.
Kaufman: WE COULDN'T HAVE BEEN THERE MORE THAN A WEEK OR TWO, AND WE JUST STARTED EXPERIENCING A LOT OF WEIRD THINGS.
I THOUGHT I WAS GOING CRAZY.
I STARTED HEARING, LIKE, WHISPERING.
[ INDISTINCT WHISPERING .]
Hinkle: A LOT OF TIMES, YOU WOULD HEAR WHAT SOUNDED LIKE SOMEBODY COMING THROUGH THE FRONT DOOR.
YOU'D GO CHECK.
THERE WOULD BE NOBODY THERE.
AT NIGHT, WE WOULD STAY UP, AND WE WOULD DO THE CLEANING AND EVERYTHING THAT NEEDED TO BE DONE AROUND THE HOUSE, THE LAUNDRY, AND WHEN I WOULD BE AT THE SINK, I WOULD ALWAYS FEEL THAT THERE WAS SOMEBODY STANDING THERE, JUST LOOKING IN THROUGH THE WINDOW.
JUST ABOUT EVERY NIGHT, I WOULD HAVE TO SHUT THE CURTAINS BECAUSE IT WAS TOO CREEPY BECAUSE I COULD JUST PICTURE A MAN STANDING THERE -- AN OLD MAN WEARING SOME TYPE OF A HAT.
NOBODY REALLY WANTED TO BE IN THE HOUSE.
MY SON WAS AFRAID OF SOMETHING THAT HE CALLED A MAN, A BAD MAN.
I FELT LIKE I WAS BEING WATCHED.
MY SISTER-IN-LAW, JASMINE, HAD TOLD ME ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS THAT SHE FELT LIKE SHE WAS BEING WATCHED AND SHE DIDN'T FEEL COMFORTABLE IN THE HOUSE BY HERSELF.
Kaufman: THE MOST ACTIVE AREAS OF THE HOUSE WERE PROBABLY THE LOFT BEDROOM UPSTAIRS AND THE BACK HALLWAY TOWARDS THE FRONT DOOR.
Hinkle: ONE NIGHT, MYSELF AND MY SISTER-IN-LAW HAD DECIDED TO SIT DOWN AND SHARE STORIES ABOUT THE HOUSE, AND WE WERE TELLING EACH OTHER THINGS THAT HAD HAPPENED THAT WE'D SEEN AND WE HAD HEARD, WE DECIDED THAT WE WERE GOING TO DO AN EVP SESSION.
WE JUST STARTED ASKING QUESTIONS.
RIGHT AFTER I'D ASKED, "WHAT'S YOUR NAME? IF THERE'S ANYBODY HERE, WOULD YOU LIKE TO TALK TO US?" YOU CAN HEAR WHAT SOUNDS LIKE A CHILD'S VOICE.
HE ACTUALLY WHISPERS THE NAME ESAU.
ESAU IS ACTUALLY A COMMON NAME FOR AN AMISH BOY, ESPECIALLY IN OHIO, BEING AMISH COUNTRY.
Kaufman: MY CAT JUMPED IN MY LAP, AND HE WAS THIS BIG OLD FURRY THING, AND I ALWAYS CALLED HIM FAT CAT.
THAT WAS JUST MY NICKNAME FOR HIM.
AND I WAS JUST LIKE, "YOU LIKE MY FAT CAT HERE?" AND THERE WAS THIS AUDIO THAT SAYS, "NO.
DOGS NOT LIKE HUMANS.
THEY DON'T TALK.
" Hinkle: I WAS FREAKED OUT.
I GOT THE CHILLS, AND I ALMOST -- I WAS ALMOST SPEECHLESS.
IT SCARED ME TO DEATH.
I DEFINITELY DID NOT EXPECT THAT.
WE ALSO USED A DIGITAL CAMERA TO SNAP SOME PICTURES THROUGHOUT THE HOUSE.
Kaufman: I WAS STANDING BY THE STAIRCASE, AND I JUST GOT THIS REALLY, REALLY WEIRD FEELING.
THE HAIRS ON THE BACK OF MY NECK STOOD UP.
I TOLD MONICA, I SAID, "I THINK THERE'S SOMEONE BEHIND ME," AND SHE SNAPPED A PICTURE, AND THERE'S ALL KINDS OF, I GUESS WHAT YOU WOULD CALL ORBS, IN THEM.
IT WAS JUST REALLY WEIRD TO FEEL THA AND NOT SEE NOTHING BEHIND YOU AND TAKE A PICTURE, AND SOMETHING WAS THERE.
Hinkle: IN ONE OF THE PICTURES IN PARTICULAR, WE CAUGHT WHAT LOOKS LIKE AN IMAGE OF A MAN, AND YOU CAN SEE WHAT LOOKS LIKE THE IMAGE OF A MAN THAT IS WEARING A HAT.
ACTUALLY KIND OF PUTS ME IN MIND OF WHAT I THOUGHT WAS LOOKING IN IN THE KITCHEN WINDOW, WHICH SCARED ME TO DEATH.
ANOTHER PICTURE TAKEN RIGHT BEFORE THAT -- IT'S AN ORB PICTURE.
FROM THE SHOULDERS UP, YOU CAN SEE A FACE IN THE ORB.
NOT REALLY SURE WHAT IT IS OR WHO IT COULD BE.
MY SON WOULD TALK ABOUT A MAN, A BAD MAN.
I THINK THAT MAY BE WHO HE WAS TALKING ABOUT.
ONE TIME, WE WERE ACTUALLY ON THE COUCH, WATCHING TV, AND WE SAW SOMEBODY WALK BY THE WINDOW.
WE GOT UP TO GO CHECK IT OUT, TO SEE WHO WAS THERE.
OF COURSE, THERE WAS NOBODY.
THERE WAS NO WAY FOR WHOEVER WAS THERE TO GET OFF OF THE DECK AND AWAY FROM THE HOUSE BEFORE BEING CAUGH 'CAUSE WE WOULD HAVE SEEN HIM.
I THINK THAT WHATEVER IS THERE DEFINITELY DID NO WANT US THERE, AND IT WAS LETTING US KNOW THAT IT DID NOT WANT US THERE.
AFTER SEEING ALL THE PICTURES AND HEARING THE RECORDINGS, I ENDED UP PACKING WHAT THINGS THAT I HAD THERE, AND I TOOK MY SON, AND I MOVED OUT.
Kaufman: THE WHOLE TIME THESE THINGS WERE GOING ON, THE ONLY THING IN MY HEAD WAS, "HOW DO YOU PROTECT SOMEONE FROM SOMETHING YOU CAN'T EVEN SEE?" A COUPLE WEEKS AFTER MONICA MOVED OUT, MY HUSBAND AND I DECIDED TO MOVE BACK HOME OURSELVES.
IT HAS BEEN TWO YEARS SINCE WE LIVED IN THAT HOUSE, AND EVERY TIME I'VE BEEN BACK TO UP THERE SINCE AND DROVE BY THAT HOUSE, NO ONE HAS BEEN THERE.
WE GOT A REALLY GOOD DEAL ON THE HOUSE BECAUSE THEY COULDN'T KEEP ANYBODY THERE.
AFTER MY EXPERIENCES IN THIS HOUSE, THERE IS NO DOUBT IN MY MIND THERE IS SOMETHING AFTER THIS LIFE.
Gonzalez: THE HAUNTING STARTED IMMEDIATELY AFTER WE BOUGHT THE HOUSE.
WEIRD NOISES THAT YOU CAN'T EXPLAIN.
I'VE ACTUALLY HEARD VOICES OF CHILDREN.
Otero: WE'VE NEVER EXPERIENCED ANYTHING LIKE THAT.
Gonzalez: YOU FEEL LIKE YOU'RE BEING WATCHED.
THE SHADOWS THAT DAR FROM LEFT TO RIGHT, WEIRD NOISES THAT YOU CAN'T EXPLAIN.
I'VE ACTUALLY HEARD VOICES OF CHILDREN.
TERRIFYING WHEN YOU HEAR STUFF LIKE THAT.
MY GHOST STORY BEGAN WHEN I MOVED INTO THE VICTORIAN MANSION IN GARDNER, MASSACHUSETTS.
LILLIAN, MY FIANCéE, LOVES VICTORIANS.
IN 2008, WE WENT ONLINE, AND WE SAW THIS AMAZING 26-ROOM MANSION.
Otero: THE MINUTE I WENT INSIDE, IT WAS JUST ABSOLUTELY BREATHTAKING TO ME, AND I JUST FELL IN LOVE WITH IT.
Gonzalez: WE WENT UP ON THE THIRD FLOOR, AND WE SAW THE HOUSE HAS A CISTERN, WHICH WOULD FILL UP WITH RAINWATER AND DRAIN THROUGHOUT THE SINKS OF THE HOUSE.
LILLIAN HAD BROUGH SOME CAMERAS, SO WE STARTED TAKING PHOTOS, AND WHEN I GOT BACK HOME, I LOOKED AT THE PHOTO, AND WHEN I GOT CLOSE UP, I NOTICED THA IT SAID EDWIN ON IT.
AND IT'S NOT A COMMON NAME.
IT WAS ALMOST LIKE I WAS MEAN TO BUY THE HOUSE.
THE HAUNTING STARTED ALMOST IMMEDIATELY AFTER WE BOUGHT THE HOUSE.
WE WOULD HEAR FOOTSTEPS [ TAPPING .]
SCRATCHING NOISES [ SCRAPING .]
THE PIANO PLAYING.
[ NOTES PLAY .]
Otero: AT FIRST, WE KIND OF BRUSHED IT OFF AND SAID, "OH, YOU KNOW, IT'S OUR IMAGINATION.
" BUT THEY JUST KEP GETTING MORE BIZARRE.
Gonzalez: OUR DOGS WOULD JUS START GROWLING AND BARKING.
[ BARKING .]
Gonzalez: VIOLENT SLAMMING DOORS.
Otero: WE'VE NEVER EXPERIENCED ANYTHING LIKE THAT.
IT WAS JUST -- JUST CRAZY.
Gonzalez: AFTER ALL THESE INCIDENTS THAT OCCURRED IN THE HOUSE, I DECIDED TO DO SOME RESEARCH.
I FOUND OUT THA A FURNITURE TYCOON, S.
K.
PIERCE, BUILT THE HOUSE BACK IN 1875.
IN THE LATE 1800s, HIS SONS TURNED IT INTO A BROTHEL FOR THE LOCAL GENTRY.
AND THEN IT BECAME VACAN FOR 20 YEARS.
WHAT WAS DONE TO THE HOUSE, I'M NOT SURE.
AND THEN IN 1963, THERE WAS A FIRE IN THE MASTER BEDROOM.
[ SIREN WAILS .]
BY THE TIME THE FIREFIGHTERS CAME UP THE STAIRCASE, THERE WAS A MAN ENGULFED IN FLAMES.
[ MAN SCREAMS .]
Gonzalez: WHEN THEY PUT THE FIRE OUT, THERE WAS VERY LITTLE LEFT OF HIM, AND THEY RULED IT AS A POSSIBLE SPONTANEOUS-COMBUSTION CASE.
Otero: THE THOUGHT OF SOMEONE DYING IN OUR HOUSE -- I TRY NOT TO THINK ABOUT I TOO OFTEN.
WHEN YOU START HEARING THINGS AND SEEING THINGS -- JUST THINGS THAT YOU CANNOT EXPLAIN -- THEN IT BECOMES AN ISSUE WHERE YOU START THINKING, "I WONDER IF HE'S THE ONE MAKING THAT NOISE.
" Gonzalez: WE DECIDED TO CONTAC A VERY GOOD PARANORMAL INVESTIGATOR.
WHEN HE CAME BY, HE DECIDED TO SNAP PHOTOS.
HE GOT THIS AMAZING PHOTO OF A WOMAN FLOATING UP ON THE WINDOW.
Otero: I THINK IT'S A REALLY CREEPY PICTURE, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU OWN THE HOUSE AND PEOPLE TELL YOU, "I SAW SOMEONE LOOKING OU YOUR WINDOW," AND YOU KNOW THERE'S NO ONE THERE.
Gonzalez: THE VALIDATION WAS AMAZING.
I KNEW THAT THERE WAS SOMETHING GOING ON, AND I NEEDED TO KNOW WHO IT WAS, SO AFTER THAT, PSYCHICS CAME UP WITH THE NAME MATTIE CORNWALL.
AND I FOUND CENSUS RECORDS, AND SURE ENOUGH, THERE WAS A MATTIE CORNWALL LISTED.
SHE WAS ONE OF 23 SERVANTS THAT S.
K.
PIERCE HAD BACK IN THE 1880s.
AND THEN IN THE SERVANTS' QUARTERS, SOMETHING WAS CAPTURED WHICH WAS QUITE CHILLING.
I LOOKS LIKE A MIST OF A WOMAN.
Otero: IT'S A REALLY STRANGE PICTURE.
DEFINITELY THINK IT'S PARANORMAL.
Gonzalez: I JUST KNEW.
I HAD A FEELING THAT IT WAS MATTIE CORNWALL.
Otero: IF SHE DIED AND FELT SUCH A STRONG CONNECTION TO THAT HOUSE, I FEEL LIKE SHE FEELS LIKE SHE STILL NEEDS TO TAKE CARE OF THE HOUSE.
I REALLY THINK THAT SHE HAS A BIG INTEREST IN THE HOUSE.
Gonzalez: IN THE ROOM ACROSS FROM THE MASTER BEDROOM, THIS AMAZING PHOTO WAS CAPTURED OF A WEIRD-LOOKING VORTEX.
I WAS TOLD THAT IT'S A PORTAL WHERE SPIRITS CAN TRAVEL BACK AND FORTH.
Otero: THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO LIGHT SOURCE WITHIN THAT ROOM AT THE TIME THAT THEY TOOK THIS PHOTOGRAPH.
AND WHAT YOU SEE IS A COLUMN OF LIGH GOING FROM THE CORNER OF THE BED ALL THE WAY UP TO THE LIGHT FIXTURE.
I'VE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THAT.
Gonzalez: I THINK THE MOS UNSETTLING INCIDEN THAT HAPPENED TO US WAS THE MORNING LILLIAN HAD AWAKENED TO HEARING VOICES WHICH LED HER TO THE BASEMENT.
Otero: I DON'T REMEMBER A LOT OF THE THINGS THAT I DID THAT DAY.
THE NEXT THING YOU KNOW, I'M IN THE BASEMENT.
AND THERE'S A KILN.
AND I WENT STRAIGHT TO THE KILN, GRABBED A LITTLE GARDEN TROWEL, JUST STARTED DIGGING.
Gonzalez: I FINALLY WENT DOWN TO THE BASEMENT.
SHE'S ALL DRESSED UP, AND THERE'S SOOT COMING UP, AND SHE'S GETTING FILTHY, AND I ASKED HER.
I SAID, "HON, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" AND SHE SAYS, "I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M DOING.
" AND THEN SHE QUICKLY SNAPPED AT ME, SO I SAID, "OH, OKAY.
I'LL LEAVE YOU ALONE.
I'LL JUST GO BACK UPSTAIRS.
" Otero: I CONTINUED DIGGING.
I GOT TO THE END -- THE CEMEN FLOOR OF THE KILN -- AND I SAW SOMETHING, AND I PICKED IT UP, AND I WENT [GASPS.]
AND THEN IT WAS LIKE ME AGAIN.
I'M LIKE, "OH, MY GOD.
THIS IS A PELVIC BONE.
IT'S A HUMAN PELVIC BONE.
" Gonzalez: 20 MINUTES LATER, IT WAS ALMOST AS THOUGH IT WAS HER AGAIN.
SHE WAS MORE HAPPY, UPBEAT.
SO, SHE SAYS, "I FOUND SOMETHING.
IT LOOKS LIKE A PELVIC BONE.
" A PELVIC BONE? Otero: LUCKILY, EDWIN HAD AN APPOINTMENT WITH HIS DOCTOR THE FOLLOWING DAY, SO I TOOK PICTURES OF IT, AND HIS DOCTOR TOLD HIM THAT IN HIS MEDICAL OPINION, IT WAS THA OF A HUMAN PELVIC BONE.
Gonzalez: I THINK THE SCARIEST PART IS IT WAS ALMOST AS THOUGH SOMETHING HAD TOOK OVER HER AND LED HER TO THE BASEMENT, LIKE SOMETHING POSSESSED HER.
I DID HAVE A PSYCHIC COME IN.
THROUGH ALL THE CLAIMS OF EVERYTHING THAT'S HAPPENED TO THE HOUSE, HE SAYS THAT'S THE MOST DISTURBING BECAUSE YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT SHE'S GONNA DO OR WHAT SHE'S CAPABLE OF DOING.
Otero: I WORRY.
SOME PEOPLE HAVE SAID I HAVE TO BE CAREFUL.
IT COULD GET VIOLEN OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, AND THAT DOES SCARE ME.
Gonzalez: IF THAT WAS TO HAPPEN TO HER AGAIN -- BEING POSSESSED BY SOMETHING -- I FEEL THAT SHE'S GONNA DO SOMETHING THAT COULD EITHER HARM HERSELF OR MAYBE EVEN ME.
I THINK THROUGHOU THE WHOLE MANSION, THE BASEMENT, TO ME, IS THE CREEPIEST PART.
THE REASON WHY I DON'T LIKE GOING TO THE BASEMEN IS I'VE SEEN THINGS -- THE SHADOWS THAT DAR FROM LEFT TO RIGHT, AND WEIRD NOISES THAT YOU CAN'T EXPLAIN.
I'VE ACTUALLY HEARD VOICES OF CHILDREN.
THERE WAS A PSYCHIC WHO HAD PICKED UP ON CHILDREN BEING TRAPPED IN THE BASEMENT.
SO, ONE OF THE INVESTIGATORS JUST STARTED POSING QUESTIONS, AND HE'S LIKE, "DO YOU HAVE SOMEONE TRAPPED HERE? DO YOU HAVE SOMEONE HERE? WHAT IS YOUR NAME?" AND SURE ENOUGH, THESE VOICES WERE CAPTURED.
"YOUR SECRET'S SAFE WITH ME.
" TERRIFYING WHEN YOU HEAR STUFF LIKE THAT.
Otero: WHEN I FIRST HEARD IT, IT WAS A SHOCKER.
IT WAS.
BECAUSE I'VE HEARD OTHER EVPs, AND YOU KIND OF HAVE TO TRY TO MAKE OUT WHAT THEY'RE SAYING.
THIS IS, LIKE, RIGHT THERE.
YOUR MIND JUST GOES CRAZY THINKING OF WHO WAS SAYING IT.
IS IT A CHILD? IS IT AN ADULT? YOU KNOW, WHAT SECRE ARE THEY TALKING ABOUT? Gonzalez: IN MY OPINION, IT'S ALL RELATED TO THE BROTHEL.
I THINK THERE WAS A LO OF CHILDREN WHO WERE BORN THERE THAT WERE POSSIBLY DISCARDED.
Otero: BEFORE LIVING IN THIS HOUSE, I WAS VERY SKEPTICAL.
I DIDN'T BELIEVE MANY STORIES THAT I'VE HEARD.
NOW THAT I'VE BEEN GOING THROUGH THIS -- I MEAN, IT'S BEEN TWO YEARS STRAIGH OF SO MANY BIZARRE THINGS.
I DO BELIEVE 100% NOW THAT THERE ARE GHOSTS.
Gonzalez: THE FIRST 40 YEARS OF MY LIFE, NEVER EXPERIENCING ANYTHING AND WITHIN THE PAST TWO YEARS, EXPERIENCING NUMEROUS DIFFERENT THINGS, THERE'S NO DOUBT IN MY MIND, 100% CONVINCED THAT THERE IS AN AFTERLIFE.
Dawn: THE CAMERA MOVED.
I RAN BACK INTO THE BEDROOM.
NEXT THING I KNOW, THERE WAS A BURNING SENSATION LIKE HOT COALS.
I LIFTED UP MY SHIR AND WAS WATCHING THE CLAW MARKS JUST RISE UP ON MY BACK.
I WAS SO SCARED, THINKING, "WHA ELSE IS IT GONNA DO TO ME?" Dawn: I KEPT HEARING NOISES IN THERE.
Aaron: THIS VERY UNCOMFORTABLE FEELING THAT THERE'S SOMETHING IN THE ROOM WITH YOU.
Dawn: WE ACTUALLY WATCHED THE BED SINK DOWN BESIDE HIM, AND THERE WAS NO ONE THERE.
IT WAS THE WIFE OF THE FORMER OWNER IN THAT ROOM.
[ TRAIN WHISTLE BLOWS .]
MY GHOST STORY BEGAN WHEN MY FAMILY AND I MOVED INTO A HAUNTED HOUSE IN WASHINGTON COURT HOUSE, OHIO.
WE WERE TIRED OF RENTING, SO WE DECIDED TO BUY A HOUSE.
MY HUSBAND LOOKED IT OVER AND DECIDED THIS WAS THE HOUSE FOR US.
Aaron: I LIKED THE HOUSE BECAUSE IT HAD A LOT OF ROOM.
IT WAS ALL ONE STORY.
THE ENERGY IN THE AIR WHEN WE FIRST MOVED IN, IT DID FEEL DIFFERENT.
Dawn: AS WE WERE LIVING THERE, AS THINGS WAS PROGRESSING, THE HOUSE FELT DEPRESSIVE.
IT FELT HEAVY.
IT JUST -- IT DON'T FEEL LIKE HOME.
I TALKED TO THE NEIGHBORS, AND THEY'RE THE ONES THAT HAD TOLD US ABOUT THE PREVIOUS OWNER.
WHAT WE DIDN'T KNOW WHEN WE BOUGHT THE HOUSE WAS THAT THE MALE, HE HAD PASSED AWAY IN OUR BEDROOM OF A HEART ATTACK.
AND THEY'D ALSO INFORMED US ABOUT HIM BEING UP ON THE ROOF AT ALL HOURS, WHERE THEY'D HAVE TO CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMEN TO COME AND GET HIM DOWN.
ONE NIGHT, I WAS LAYING THERE WHEN I ACTUALLY HEARD RUNNING IN THE ATTIC.
[ TAPPING .]
YOU WOULD HAVE TO BE THE TINIES PERSON IN THE WORLD TO GET IN OUR ATTIC TO RUN.
I CALLED MY HUSBAND AT WORK.
HE THOUGHT MAYBE IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN AN ANIMAL UP THERE, SO I WENT OUTSIDE WITH A FLASHLIGH IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT, LOOKING AROUND.
NOTHING ON OUR ROOF.
THEY WERE FOOTSTEPS.
IT WASN'T LIKE AN ANIMAL SOUND.
THESE WERE ACTUAL HUMAN FOOTSTEPS.
[ TAPPING .]
THAT KIND OF SCARED ME.
Aaron: AFTER EVERYTHING THA SEEMED TO BE HAPPENING AROUND WITH MY WIFE, WE DECIDED TO HAVE SOMEBODY COME IN AND CHECK IT OUT.
Dawn: I'D SEEN A PARANORMAL GROUP THAT WAS GONNA BE IN TOWN AT THE LOCAL LIBRARY.
I DECIDED TO HAVE THEM COME AND INVESTIGATE MY HOME.
THAT WEEKEND, WE HAD THE INVESTIGATORS COME IN.
I WAS SITTING ON THE FLOOR WITH MY BACK AGAINST THE WALL.
ALL OF A SUDDEN, I FELT A BURNING SENSATION LIKE HOT COALS.
THE INVESTIGATOR HAD JUMPED UP.
I KEPT YELLING, "MY BACK'S BURNING.
IT HURTS.
IT HURTS.
" MY BACK'S BURNING! OH, MY BACK'S BURNING! HE LIFTED UP MY SHIR AND STARTED TAKING PICTURES.
AND THEY WERE WATCHING THE CLAW MARKS JUST RISE UP ON MY BACK.
I WAS SO SCARED, THINKING, "WHA ELSE IS IT GONNA DO TO ME?" Aaron: I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO THINK.
I WAS MAD BECAUSE SOMETHING WAS MESSING WITH MY WIFE.
I FELT HELPLESS THAT I DIDN' KNOW WHAT TO DO.
Dawn: WE DECIDED TO END THE INVESTIGATION THAT NIGH BECAUSE THEY THOUGHT THEY WERE DOING MORE HARM THAN GOOD.
IT PUTS A FEAR IN YOU THAT YOU'VE NEVER HAD BEFORE.
THE FRONT BEDROOM, WHICH IS NOW THE GRANDKIDS' BEDROOM -- BUT IT WAS THE PREVIOUS OWNER'S WIFE'S BEDROOM.
WE SET THE CAMERA UP IN THAT ROOM BECAUSE I KEPT HEARING NOISES IN THERE LIKE TAPPING AND THUMPING NOISES.
I WENT OUT OF THE ROOM, AND I LET THE CAMERA RUN.
WHEN WE WENT TO REVIEW IT, THAT'S WHEN WE'D SEEN ORBS AND THEN THE CHAIR MOVING ON ITS OWN.
Aaron: WHEN I WAS GOING OVER THE VIDEO, I HEARD IT BEFORE I ACTUALLY SEEN I BECAUSE I HAD HEADPHONES ON.
Dawn: THE POINT WHERE I HAD THE VIDEO CAMERA POINTING AT THE TV, IT WAS ALMOST LIKE A MIRROR TO WHERE YOU COULD SEE THAT THERE WAS NOBODY IN THE ROOM BECAUSE YOU COULD SEE SOMEBODY OPENING AND CLOSING THAT DOOR.
I KNEW WHATEVER SPIRIT REMAINED IN THAT ROOM, SHE WAS THERE TO WATCH OVER EVERYBODY.
I BELIEVE IT WAS THE WIFE OF THE FORMER OWNER THAT'S IN THAT ROOM.
THE SAME DAY, RIGHT BEFORE WE'D SET UP THE VIDEO CAMERA, I DECIDED TO GO IN THERE AND SNAP SOME PICTURES.
I ACTUALLY STARTED TO SEE THIS MIST FORMING.
IT WENT FROM REALLY LIGHT, AND THEN IT JUST KEPT GETTING HEAVIER AND HEAVIER UNTIL IT FORMED ALMOST LIKE A MIST.
AND THEN YOU SEE I FLOAT OVER TOWARDS THE BED AND THEN DISAPPEAR.
I KNOW A LOT OF PEOPLE LOOK AT THAT AND THEY'RE THINKING, "OH, WELL, SOMEBODY WAS SMOKING.
" WE DON'T ALLOW SMOKING IN OUR HOME.
TO ME, IT WAS AMAZING BECAUSE I WAS ACTUALLY CAPTURING I AS IT WAS FORMING LIKE THAT.
AT 3:00 IN THE MORNING, I WAS HEARING THE WALKING SOUNDS.
MY HUSBAND WAS AT WORK, SO I WENT AHEAD AND SET UP THE VIDEO CAMERA.
OUR SUGAR GLIDER WAS SITTING RIGHT NEXT TO IT, AND YOU CAN HEAR HIS BELL GO OFF EVERY TIME HE'D GET EXCITED.
[ BELL TINKLES .]
AND HE NEVER GETS EXCITED UNLESS THERE'S SOMEONE IN THE ROOM.
I WENT AHEAD AND PUSHED RECORD, AND I WENT BACK TO BED.
I WAS LAYING THERE, AND I DID HAVE THE TV ON, BUT EVERYTHING OU IN THE KITCHEN STARTED GETTING LOUDER AND LOUDER.
[ BELL TINKLES .]
I DECIDED TO STEP OUTSIDE INTO THE KITCHEN.
[ BELL TINKLES .]
I WAS OUT THERE FOR A FEW MINUTES.
NEXT THING I KNOW, THE CAMERA MOVED.
I STOOD THERE FOR A FEW MINUTES, SEEING IF ANYTHING ELSE WOULD HAPPEN, AND THEN IT REALLY MOVED.
I RAN BACK INTO THE BEDROOM, FLIPPED ON THE LIGHTS, TURNED UP THE TV, AND I WAS UP THE REST OF THE NIGH BECAUSE I WAS SCARED TO GO TO BED.
Aaron: BEFORE, I WAS SKEPTICAL ABOUT PARANORMAL THINGS.
AFTER THE THINGS THAT'S HAPPENED AT OUR HOUSE, IT HAS REALLY OPENED MY EYES THAT THERE'S SOMETHING BEYOND OUR REALM THAT ACTUALLY EXISTS OUT THERE.
Dawn: WHEN THIS ALL FIRST STARTED HAPPENING, I DID NOT BELIEVE IN SPIRITS.
I THOUGHT WHEN YOU DIED, YOU MOVED ON.
FROM EVERYTHING THAT'S HAPPENED, I KNOW THERE'S SPIRITS OUT THERE.
Gotti: MY CHAIR WENT FLYING, ALMOST LIKE A SOMERSAULT.
Gonzalez: THE PSYCHIC PICKED UP ON CHILDREN BEING TRAPPED IN THE BASEMENT.
Dawn: WE'D SEEN THE CHAIR MOVING ON ITS OWN.
[ CLANG .]
DeMaria: THE DOOR OPENS.
ALL OF A SUDDEN, YOU HEAR A CHILLING SCREAM OF A FEMALE.
Aaron: THERE'S SOMETHING BEYOND OUR REALM THAT WAS MESSING WITH MY WIFE.
Rice: THE SPIRI OF THE LITTLE BOY.
I THINK HIS PRESENCE IS VERY STRONG THERE.
Mitchel: THERE IS THE FIGURE OF A MAN STANDING RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE PORCH.
Carr: I FELT A HAND HAD GRABBED AROUND MY NECK AND WAS PUSHING ME TO THE GROUND.
Gotti: SHE WASN'T FOUND UNTIL THE END OF HER SHIFT -- IN A G-STRING AND A POOL OF BLOOD.
DeMaria: ONE OF OUR CREW, CHRIS, WAS KNOCKED DOWN.
IT WAS TERRIFYING.
Gotti: MY GHOST STORY BEGAN WHEN I STARTED WORKING AS A MANAGER AT TIMES SQUARE COMEDY CLUB IN MANHATTAN, NEW YORK CITY.
[ HORN HONKS .]
TIMES SQUARE COMEDY CLUB HAS FIVE DIFFERENT SHOWROOMS.
IT'S 26,000 SQUARE FEET.
IT'S A PRETTY BIG PLACE.
IN THE '20s, IT WAS A CREMATORIUM, THEN IT BECAME A GENTLEMEN'S CLUB.
BACK IN 1991, THERE WAS AN EXOTIC DANCER NAMED YVONNE HAUSLEY [ WHISTLES, APPLAUSE .]
[ WOMAN SCREAMS .]
Gotti: WHO WAS STABBED 28 TIMES BY A SERIAL KILLER.
SHE WASN'T FOUND UNTIL THE END OF HER SHIFT -- IN A G-STRING AND A POOL OF BLOOD.
[ SIRENS WAIL .]
CLOSING THE CLUB AT NIGHT MYSELF, THAT'S WHEN I STARTED HEARING VOICES, SEEING DOORS OPEN, ALWAYS FEELING LIKE SOMEONE'S WATCHING ME.
AND THERE'S A CERTAIN WAY TO LOCK UP.
I START AT THE FRONT DOOR, AND I WOULD WORK MY WAY FROM THEATER TO THEATER.
THEATER TWO IS THE ONE SHOWROOM THAT'S, TO ME, THE CREEPIEST.
MOST OF THE STUFF HAPPENS IN THEATER TWO.
I WOULD SEE SHADOWS.
I WOULD HEAR MY NAME.
I WOULD FEEL SOMETHING ON MY NECK.
ALL THIS STUFF YOU CAN'T EXPLAIN.
I WAS LOCKING UP THE CLUB, AND I HEARD A BIG CRASH.
[ CRASH .]
I'M FIGURING MAYBE I FORGOT A BAR GATE.
AND THEN I HEARD A LOUD, YELPING SCREAM.
AND WHEN I WENT INTO THEATER TWO TO PUT THE LIGHTS ON, THAT'S WHEN THERE WAS CHAIRS STACKED IN FRON OF THE LIGHT SWITCH, PREVENTING ME FROM TURNING THE LIGHT ON.
I MEAN, YOU WOULD NEED A 6-FOOT LADDER TO STACK THE CHAIRS THIS HIGH.
AT THAT POINT, I WAS LIKE, "THERE'S NO WAY I'M DOING THIS LIKE THIS EVERY SINGLE NIGHT.
" I WANTED TO FIND OU WHAT WAS GOING ON IN THE CLUB AND IF THERE WAS SOMETHING THAT WE CAN DO ABOUT IT, AND THAT'S WHEN I CALLED KEVIN.
DeMaria: THEY WERE HAVING SOME EXPERIENCES THERE THAT WERE DEFINITELY OUT OF THE ORDINARY.
THERE ARE NO WINDOWS IN THE CLUB, SO IT'S ALWAYS PITCH BLACK.
SO, WHEN YOU WALK IN THERE, YOU GET THE CHILLS.
IMMEDIATELY, YOU GET THAT FEELING OF SOMEBODY WATCHING YOU, AND IF YOU DO GET CAUGH IN THE ROOM ALONE, YOU COULD FEEL THE PRESENCE.
IT'S TERRIFYING.
TERRIFYING.
GHOSTINK IS THE ONLY HUNTING TEAM THAT HAS THE MECHANISM THAT WILL ELECTRIFY A ROOM.
WE CALL IT OUR GHOST MACHINE.
THE HUMAN BODY WORKS ON ELECTRICITY.
WHAT WE BELIEVE IS WHEN YOU DIE, THAT ELECTRICITY HAS TO GO SOMEWHERE.
SO, WHEN WE ELECTRIFY A ROOM WITH OUR GHOST MACHINE, SPIRITS DRAW OFF OF I IMMEDIATELY.
SO, FIRST, WE WEN INTO STUDIO ONE, AND AFTER ENERGIZING THE ROOM, WE STARTED AN EVP SESSION.
WE HAD DENNIS GOTTI THERE, AS WELL.
WE WANTED HIM TO EXPERIENCE WHAT WE EXPERIENCED.
Gotti: THERE WAS AN EVP THAT KEVIN CAPTURED OF A GIRL GIGGLING, "HE, HE, HE, HE," AND SAYING, "HI.
" DeMaria: IT WAS FRIGHTENING TO HEAR TWO FEMALES -- ONE LAUGHING AND ONE SAYING VERY, VERY CLEARLY, "HI.
" THEN, WE SET UP A GHOST MACHINE, AND WHEN WE SENT THE CHARGE OF 500,000 VOLTS INTO THE ROOM, WE HAD A TABLE AND A CHAIR FLIP.
Man: WHOA! Gotti: THAT HAPPENED WITH ME IN THE ROOM, AND THAT REALLY DISTURBED ME.
-Man: WHOA! -Man #2: OH.
Gotti: I ENDED THE NIGHT.
I TOLD KEVIN HE HAD TO LEAVE.
"EVERYBODY GET YOUR STUFF AND GET OUT.
I'M NOT STAYING IN HERE ANYMORE.
" THIS WAS PROBABLY LIKE 2:30 IN THE MORNING.
DeMaria: THE SECOND DAY, WE WENT BACK.
TIM, WHO IS OUR SKEPTIC, HE WAS TOUCHED ON THE BACK OF THE HEAD LIKE THIS.
Man: NO.
Tim: I SWEAR TO GOD, IT FELT LIKE SOMEBODY LIKE, JUST RAN THEIR FINGER Man: WOW.
Tim: LIKE, DOWN THE BACK OF MY HEAD, DOWN TO MY SHOULDER.
DeMaria: ANOTHER TEAM MEMBER, CHRIS, WAS IN STUDIO THREE.
AND HE WAS KNOCKED DOWN.
-DeMaria: WHOA.
-Chris: [ GROANS .]
DeMaria: HE WAS KNOCKED RIGHT OFF HIS FEET.
HE HAD A HANDPRINT ON HIS CHEST.
FROM STUDIO THREE, WE WEN DIRECTLY INTO STUDIO TWO.
AND THE MINUTE WE CONNECTED OUR INFRARED CAMERA, IT CAUGHT THE APPARITION, WE BELIEVE, OF YVONNE.
Gotti: YVONNE HAUSLEY WAS STABBED IN THE DRESSING ROOM OF THEATER TWO, AND THEATER TWO IS WHERE I WOULD SEE A SHADOW WHEN I WAS CLOSING THE CLUB AT NIGHT BY MYSELF.
DeMaria: AS SOON AS THE SHADOW LEAVES THE CAMERA FRAME, AN ORB APPEARS AND SHOOTS BY THE CAMERA, SO WE THINK IT'S THE MANIFESTATION FROM THE ENERGY THAT WE USED TO ELECTRIFY THE ROOM, AND I THINK IT WENT BACK INTO ORB WHEN IT LOST THAT ENERGY TO CONTINUE.
Gotti: WE ACTUALLY WEN IN THE THEATER TO SEE IF THERE WAS A LIGH THERE, AND THERE'S NO -- THERE'S NOT EVEN A LIGHT THERE IF WE WANTED TO TURN ONE ON.
DeMaria: THERE'S A UTILITY CLOSET THAT THE CUSTODIAN USES, AND WE ALREADY HEARD ABOUT THIS DOOR CONSTANTLY BEING OPENED EVEN WHEN IT'S LOCKED.
Gotti: I PUT IN THE DOOR HANDLE.
I TUGGED ON I AS HARD AS I POSSIBLY COULD TO MAKE SURE IT WOULDN'T OPEN.
KEVIN SET UP SOME CAMERAS IN THE HALLWAY, AND AGAIN, THE DOOR OPENED UP.
DeMaria: THE DOOR OPENS, AND ALL OF A SUDDEN, YOU HEAR A CHILLING SCREAM OF A FEMALE, SOUNDING LIKE SHE'S BEING MURDERED.
AND THREE SECONDS AFTER HER VOICE, A VERY DEEP AND DARK MALE VOICE SAYS, "RELAX.
" WE THINK THAT IS A RESIDUAL HAUNTING.
Gotti: FOR ME, IT WAS LIKE, "HA, I KNEW IT.
" I KNEW THERE WAS SOMETHING GOING ON, SO THAT WAS VALIDATION.
IT'S BEYOND SCARING ME NOW.
I'M IN MY HOUSE, I'LL FEEL -- DID I HEAR A NOISE? IS WHATEVER IT IS FOLLOWING ME? IS YVONNE HAUSLEY FOLLOWING ME HOME? I THINK IF SHE WANTED TO HURT ME, SHE COULD.
DeMaria: BEING A PSYCHIC AND A MEDIUM, I BELIEVE YVONNE IS ABSOLUTELY HAUNTING THE CLUB.
I BELIEVE THAT SHE HAS SOME UNFINISHED BUSINESS, AND SHE'S GONNA TELL THE STORY THAT SHE WANTS TO TELL.
AND SHE CONTINUALLY REACHES OUT.
Gotti: I WAS THE TYPE OF PERSON THAT NEEDED TO SEE I TO BELIEVE IT.
I SAW IT, AND I DEFINITELY BELIEVE IT.
Mitchel: THERE IS A FIGURE OF A MAN STANDING RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE PORCH.
Tami: THE LADY TOOK A PHOTOGRAPH OF MITCHEL WHEN HE GAVE THE TOUR THAT DAY.
Mitchel: BEHIND ME WAS THIS GLARING WHITE OBJECT.
MY GHOST STORY BEGAN WHEN MY WIFE AND I MOVED INTO AN 1861 HOME CALLED THE GROVE IN JEFFERSON, TEXAS.
MY WIFE AND I GREW UP IN EAST TEXAS, BUT WE WERE FAMILIAR WITH JEFFERSON.
JEFFERSON IS A TOWN WITH MANY HISTORIC HOMES.
THE CITY IS PRETTY MUCH PRESERVED AS IT WAS BEFORE THE CIVIL WAR.
BUT THERE WAS SOMETHING ABOU THE GROVE WHEN WE FIRST SAW I THAT REALLY CALLED OUT TO US.
WE HAD TO OWN IT.
Tami: THE MORE THAT I LOOKED AT THE HOUSE, THE MORE I COULD SEE WHAT IT COULD BECOME.
WE JUST FELL IN LOVE WITH IT.
Mitchel: STRANGE THINGS BEGAN TO HAPPEN JUST IMMEDIATELY.
WE STARTED NOTICING THESE LITTLE SHADOWS IN THE CORNER OF OUR EYES.
A LITTLE SHADOW WOULD STEP FROM THE GAME ROOM INTO THE STAIRWELL.
YOU'D LOOK, AND NOBODY WOULD BE THERE.
THIS BECAME SO PREVALEN THAT I CALLED THE FORMER OWNER, AND HE SAID, "OH, YEAH.
PEOPLE HAVE BEEN SEEING THA FOR A LONG TIME.
" Tami: YOU JUST HAVE THE SENSE THAT YOU'RE BEING WATCHED, AND IT JUST GIVES YOU A VERY EERIE FEELING.
Mitchel: THE FORMER OWNER OF THE HOUSE HAD DONE A LOT OF RESEARCH ON THE HISTORY OF THE HOUSE.
AFTER THE CIVIL WAR WAS OVER, A FEW FREED SLAVES WERE SPEAKING AT A RALLY THERE IN TOWN.
[ INDISTINCT SHOUTING .]
THERE WAS AN ORGANIZATION CALLED THE KNIGHTS OF THE RISING SUN, GENTLEMEN THAT WORE THE HOODS AND RODE HORSEBACK.
THEY SHOWED UP, AND THEY MURDERED TWO FREED SLAVES.
[ HORSE WHINNIES .]
THEY KILLED THEM AT THE END OF THE STREET.
ON A MAP THAT WAS DONE FOR THE TRIAL OF THESE MEN, THESE KNIGHTS OF THE RISING SUN, THE ONLY HOME THAT IS MARKED IN THE AREA IS CALLED "MR.
STILLEY'S HOUSE," AND STILLEY WAS THE GENTLEMAN THAT BUILT THE GROVE BACK IN 1861, SO THERE'S SOMETHING VERY INTEGRAL ABOUT OUR HOUSE THAT PLAYED A PART THAT NIGH IN ALL THE BAD THINGS THAT TOOK PLACE.
Tami: BECAUSE JEFFERSON IS SO BUILT ON ITS HISTORY, WE FELT A COMMITMENT TO THE CITY TO OPEN UP OUR HOME AND SHARE ITS HISTORY.
Mitchel: WE DECIDED TO OPEN THE GROVE UP AS A TOUR HOME SO THAT PEOPLE COULD COME THROUGH AND WE COULD SHARE WITH THEM HOW OUR HOUSE RELATES TO JEFFERSON.
Tami: OVER THE YEARS, PEOPLE HAVE TAKEN MANY DIFFERENT PHOTOGRAPHS OF UNEXPLAINED PHENOMENA THEY'VE SEEN ON THE TOURS.
Mitchel: I'VE HEARD SOME INCREDIBLE THINGS PEOPLE HAVE SHARED WITH US.
Tami: A LOT OF TIMES, WE HAVE TOURISTS THAT WILL SEND US PICTURES, AND THEY'LL HAVE MISTS THAT WILL BE IN THEM.
Mitchel: WE SEE THESE A LOT.
PEOPLE SEND THEM TO US ALL THE TIME.
Tami: WE TRY VERY, VERY HARD TO EXPLAIN THE MIST AWAY.
I FIND IT A LITTLE EERIE.
YOU DON'T REALLY KNOW WHAT IT IS.
Mitchel: WE'LL LOOK AND SEE IF IT COULD BE A SHADOW, IF IT COULD BE A REFLECTION.
MANY TIMES, THERE'S JUST NO EXPLANATION.
ONE OF OUR VISITORS WAS WALKING, LIKE, OUT TO THE CAR AFTER THE TOUR.
SHE TURNED AROUND, HAD ONE PICTURE LEFT ON A CAMERA.
SHE REACHED UP, TOOK THE PICTURE, GOT IN THE CAR, LEFT.
WHEN SHE HAD IT DEVELOPED, THERE IS A FIGURE OF A MAN STANDING RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE PORCH.
Carr: THE BOY THAT WAS KILLED THERE IS STILL HAUNTING THE LOCATION.
I ASKED THE SPIRIT, "WHAT DID HE DO TO YOU?" AND ALL OF A SUDDEN, I FELT A HAND HAD GRABBED AROUND MY NECK AND PUSHING ME TO THE GROUND.
IT WAS PROBABLY ONE OF THE MOST INTENSE EXPERIENCES I HAVE EVER HAD.
Mitchel: ONE OF OUR VISITORS WAS WALKING, LIKE, OUT TO THE CAR AFTER THE TOUR.
SHE TURNED AROUND, HAD ONE PICTURE LEFT ON A CAMERA.
SHE REACHED UP, TOOK THE PICTURE, GOT IN THE CAR, LEFT.
WHEN SHE HAD IT DEVELOPED, THERE IS A FIGURE OF A MAN STANDING RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE PORCH.
Tami: YOU CAN SEE A GENTLEMAN STANDING ON THE PORCH, AND IT LOOKS LIKE HE IS A CONFEDERATE SOLDIER.
IT LOOKS LIKE HE'S IN A GRAY UNIFORM WITH A SASH ACROSS HIS CHEST.
Mitchel: I WENT BACK IMMEDIATELY AND TRIED TO LOOK AT THAT SAME PICTURE AT THE EXACT SAME TIME OF DAY UNDER THE EXACT SAME LIGHTING CONDITIONS, AND THERE ARE NO SHADOWS.
THERE IS NOTHING THERE THAT COULD FORM A MAN AND GIVE US THE EXPLANATION TO WRITE THAT OFF.
Tami: I JUST THOUGH THAT IT WAS ANOTHER SPIRI THAT WAS COMING BACK TO VISIT THE GROVE.
THAT'S ONE OF THE INTERESTING THINGS.
WE HAVE SO MANY THAT COME BACK TO SEE US THAT YOU NEVER KNOW WHO'S GONNA BE THERE.
Mitchel: IN TRACING BACK THE HISTORY OF THE HOUSE, MY WIFE AND I ARE ONLY THE EIGHTH OWNERS OF THIS HOUSE SINCE IT WAS BUILT IN 1861.
Tami: PROBABLY THE MOST INFAMOUS COUPLE THAT HAS HAD OUR HOUSE WAS CHARLIE AND HIS WIFE, DAPHNE YOUNG.
Mitchel: CHARLIE YOUNG AND HIS WIFE, DAPHNE, WERE BOTH FREED SLAVES, AND CHARLIE AND DAPHNE RAISED THREE CHILDREN AT THE PLACE.
Tami: HE WAS A BARBER IN JEFFERSON, AND HE WAS FAVORED BY ALL OF THE WEALTHY BANKERS.
Mitchel: HE MADE HIMSELF INTO A VERY ACCLAIMED BARBER.
THEY SAY IT WAS VERY PRESTIGIOUS TO HAVE YOUR HAIR CU BY MR.
CHARLIE.
Tami: THEIR FAMILY HAD THE HOME FOR ALMOST 100 YEARS.
Mitchel: I THINK A LOT OF THE ACTIVITY THAT TAKES PLACE AT THE GROVE CAN BE TRACED BACK TO FORMER OWNERS.
ONE AFTERNOON, I WAS SITTING AT MY COMPUTER, AND OUR DOG STARTED BARKING.
[ BARKS .]
Mitchel: I IMMEDIATELY WEN TO PUT ON MY SHOES SO I COULD GO OUTSIDE AND TALK TO WHOEVER IT WAS.
I LOOKED, AND THERE WAS NOBODY THERE, AND I THOUGHT, "WELL, SOMEBODY'S JUST COME AND GONE.
" I WENT AROUND, LOOKED DOWN THE SIDE OF THE HOUSE TO SEE.
THERE WAS NOBODY THERE.
AS I WAS WALKING BACK TO THE DOOR, I HAPPENED TO LOOK DOWN AT THE GROUND, AND LAYING ON THE GRASS WAS A SHAVING BRUSH.
THE BRISTLES HAD ALL ROTTED OFF.
YOU COULD TELL IT WAS KIND OF YELLOWED WITH AGE.
A PLACE I'D MOWED A HUNDRED TIMES.
IT WAS LAYING THERE AS IF SOMEBODY HAD LAID IT DOWN THERE FOR ME.
PREVIOUSLY, THE FORMER OWNER HAD BROUGHT ME ALL OF CHARLIE YOUNG'S SHAVING EQUIPMENT -- HIS MIRROR, HIS MUG, EVEN HIS STRAIGHT RAZOR.
Tami: THAT SHAVING KIT WE RECEIVED WAS MISSING THE BRUSH.
IT MATCHES THE REST OF THE KIT.
IT IS ALSO DATED AS THE REST OF THE KIT.
Mitchel: THIS IS NOT SOMETHING YOU COULD JUST GO BUY OFF THE SHELF TODAY, BUT I THINK THAT CHARLIE HAD SIMPLY COME BACK AND SAID, "YOU THOUGH YOU HAD THE WHOLE SET.
NOW YOU DO.
" ONE OF THE MOST INTERESTING PHOTOGRAPHS THAT I'VE RECEIVED WAS AT THE VERY STAR OF THE MORNING TOUR, 11:00 A.
M.
ON A SUNDAY.
Tami: MITCHEL ALWAYS STANDS FACING THE SUN WHEN HE STARTS TO GIVE THE TOURS SO THAT THE SUNLIGH IS NOT IN THE TOURISTS' EYES.
WE HAD A LADY THAT TOOK A PHOTOGRAPH OF MITCHEL WHEN HE GAVE THE TOUR THAT DAY.
Mitchel: THE PHOTOGRAPH TURNS OU THAT BEHIND ME WAS THIS GLARING WHITE OBJECT.
NOBODY CAN SEE IT.
THEY'RE STANDING THERE, BUT YE THERE WAS SOMETHING THERE THAT WASN'T VISIBLE TO THE EYE.
IF ANY KIND OF OBJECT HAD FLOWN IN OR BEEN THROWN IN, WE ALL WOULD HAVE NOTICED IT.
HERE SOMETHING WAS JUST THERE OVER MY SHOULDER, AND YET IT WASN' A FRIGHTENING THING.
THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT THAT PICTURE THAT'S JUST COMPELLING TO ME.
IT GIVES ME A GOOD FEELING.
IT GIVES ME A VERY PEACEFUL FEELING.
Tami: IT WAS AMAZING.
IT MADE US FEEL AS THOUGH WE'RE SUPPOSED TO BE THERE AND THE YOUNG FAMILY WANTS THEIR MARK TO BE THERE.
I FEEL LIKE THE FAMILY LIKES US BEING IN THE HOME BECAUSE WE HAVE TRIED TO HONOR THEM.
WE'VE KIND OF BROUGHT CLOSURE AND RECOGNITION TO WHO THEY ARE AND THE IMPORTANCE THAT THEY PLAYED.
Mitchel: THIS IS A CHANCE FOR US TO PRESERVE THEIR LIVES, TO BE ABLE TO GIVE FUTURE OWNERS DOCUMENTATION THAT SHOWS WHO THE YOUNGS WERE AND WHAT THEY DID.
WE'VE BECOME VERY, VERY ATTACHED TO THIS FAMILY.
Tami: I FEEL THAT THE HOUSE HAS A SOUL.
I FEEL AN ATTACHMEN TO THIS HOUSE.
Mitchell: WHATEVER ACTIVITY WE HAVE GOING ON IN THE HOUSE, I THINK THAT THAT'S PROBABLY GOING TO CONTINUE AS LONG AS WE OWN THE HOUSE AND BEYOND TO THE NEXT OWNERS.
I HOPE THAT THEY CAN UNDERSTAND IT'S A PEEK INTO THE OTHER SIDE, A CHANCE TO SEE THAT WE DO GO ON.
THERE'S MORE THAN JUST THIS TANGIBLE LIFE THAT WE HAVE HERE.
I THINK THE GROVE, IT'S BECOME PART OF MY HEART AND SOUL.
I'M VERY ATTACHED TO IT, AND ONE OF THESE DAYS, I'LL PROBABLY COME BACK MYSELF.
Rice: WE HAVE CONFIRMED QUITE A FEW DEATHS IN THE MILL.
Carr: THERE'S THIS ECTO-MIS COMING RIGHT OFF MY SHOULDER.
I FELT A HAND HAD GRABBED AROUND MY NECK AND WAS PUSHING ME TO THE GROUND.
Carr: MY GHOST STORY BEGAN WHEN I VISITED THE BARON WOOLEN MILL AND CAUGHT A PHOTOGRAPH OF A SPIRIT.
THE BARON WOOLEN MILL HAS AN INTERESTING HISTORY.
IT WAS BUILT IN THE 1870s, RAN FOR OVER 100 YEARS.
IT BURNT DOWN THREE TIMES.
IT WAS ONE OF THE ONLY BUSINESSES IN UTAH THAT SURVIVED THE DEPRESSION.
IT WAS ONE OF THOSE YOU DRIVE BY AND YOU GO, "OH, THIS PLACE HAS GOT TO BE HAUNTED.
" SO, I DID A LOT OF RESEARCH, FOUND THE OWNERS, AND THEY ALLOWED US TO GO INTO THE MILL.
JESSICA COMES WITH US ON OCCASION TO SOME OF THE INVESTIGATIONS.
Rice: THE FIRST TIME I EVER WALKED INTO THE BARON WOOLEN MILL, I DEFINITELY FEL THERE WAS SOMETHING THERE.
THERE WAS A LOT OF ENERGY.
Carr: SOMETIMES, THE ENERGY CAN BE A LITTLE DARK.
THERE HAVE BEEN TIMES THAT PEOPLE HAVE GONE INTO THE LOCATION AND JUST STEPPED OU 'CAUSE THEY JUST CAN'T HANDLE THE OVERWHELMING NEGATIVE ENERGY THAT'S FELT IN THE PLACE.
WE WERE WALKING THROUGH THE MILL, AND WE DECIDED TO GO OVER TO THE WOOL-PROCESSING AREA.
AND AS I WAS WALKING ON, I SAID, "THERE'S A COLD SPOT RIGHT HERE.
IT'S FREEZING RIGHT HERE.
" THIS WAS THE MIDDLE OF JULY IN UTAH.
IT WAS PROBABLY ABOUT 90 DEGREES AT NIGHT.
AND SOMEBODY TOOK A PHOTOGRAPH OF ME WALKING RIGHT IN THAT SPOT.
AND THERE'S THIS ECTO-MIS COMING RIGHT OFF MY SHOULDER.
Rice: WHEN I LOOK AT THE PHOTO OF THE MIST COMING OFF OF TOM, I FEEL THAT IT'S A SPIRI THAT'S PROBABLY ATTACHED TO HIM.
Carr: I BELIEVE THAT THAT'S ONE OF THE SPIRITS THAT HAUNTS THE PLACE, SO I BELIEVE THAT IT WAS PROBABLY THE CARETAKER.
Rice: YOU CAN DEFINITELY SEE A FACE IN THAT PHOTO.
YOU CAN MAKE OUT THE EYES AND THE NOSE AND THE MOUTH OF THE FACE.
IT'S VERY DISTINCT.
Carr: THAT KIND OF SEN SOME CHILLS DOWN MY SPINE.
KIDS WERE VERY COMMONPLACE IN FACTORIES, ESPECIALLY IN THE '30s AND '40s.
Rice: AT THE TIME THAT THE MILL WAS OPEN, THERE WERE A LOT OF CHILDREN THAT WOULD WORK THERE JUST BECAUSE THEIR HANDS WERE SMALL ENOUGH TO GET INSIDE THE MACHINERY.
Carr: THEY USED THE KIDS TO REACH INTO THE MACHINES AND UNJAM THE MACHINES.
THEY HAD A LOT OF KIDS WORKING THERE.
IN 1934, A YOUNG BOY WAS SUCKED INTO ONE OF THE MACHINES AND WAS KILLED.
I WAS STANDING BY WHAT THEY CALL THE ASH ROOM, AND I NOTICED THE DOOR TO THA PARTICULAR BUILDING OF THE MILL WAS OPEN.
AND IT'S USUALLY CLOSED AND LOCKED, SO WE WALKED INTO THE ROOM, AND I SAID, "IS THERE SOMEBODY HERE?" AND WE ACTUALLY HAVE CAPTURED ON EVP OF A YOUNG BOY SAYING, "DAD? DAD?" THERE WERE NO YOUNG CHILDREN WITH US WHEN WE GOT THAT EVP, WHICH IS ONE OF THE CLEAREST EVPs I'VE EVERY CAUGHT IN THE MILL.
Rice: THE SPIRITS OF THE CHILDREN THAT USED TO WORK THERE DO, IN FACT, STILL HANG AROUND.
Carr: I DO BELIEVE THAT THE BOY THAT DIED THERE IS STILL HAUNTING THE LOCATION.
Rice: THE SPIRI OF THE LITTLE BOY THAT WAS SUCKED INTO THAT MACHINE, I THINK HIS PRESENCE IS VERY STRONG THERE.
Carr: WE HAD SOME FRIENDS ALONG WITH US AND THE PARANORMAL TEAM, AND ONE OF THE GIRLS THAT WAS WITH US SAID SHE KEPT FEELING THERE WAS A CHILD HOLDING HER HAND.
SHE SPECIFICALLY SAID A CHILD.
IT WAS SOFT, AND IT WAS A SMALLER HAND.
AND HER HAND TEMPERATURE WAS ACTUALLY COLDER THAN HER OTHER HAND.
WE'RE ALL KIND OF STANDING AROUND IN A CIRCLE.
WE TAKE A PHOTOGRAPH OF THE GROUP STANDING IN THE CIRCLE.
YOU CAN SEE A LITTLE BOY STANDING RIGHT BEHIND HER.
YOU CAN SEE HIS FACIAL FEATURES AND ALMOST HIS TORSO RIGHT NEXT TO HER.
WE'VE HAD A LOT OF WOMEN THAT HAVE GONE TO THE BARON WOOLEN MILL -- MOSTLY MOTHERS -- WHO SAY THAT THEY FEEL LIKE THERE'S A CHILD THAT HANGS CLOSE TO THEM.
THIS YOUNG SPIRIT AT THE MILL WANTED TO BE CLOSE TO HER.
I THINK THIS CHILD'S SPIRI IS THE YOUNG BOY WHO WAS KILLED IN THE MILL.
I THINK HE'S STILL THERE BECAUSE HE DOESN'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED AND HE'S BEEN LOOKING FOR HIS PARENTS.
WE WERE DOWN IN THE BOILER ROOM, WHICH IS ONE OF THE MOS ACTIVE PARTS OF THE BUILDING.
THIS PARTICULAR ROOM IS PROBABLY ONE OF THE DARKEST PLACES IN THE BARON WOOLEN MILL.
I HAVE FELT THE PRESENCE OF SOMETHING EXTREMELY NEGATIVE -- SOMEBODY WHO WAS ALIVE AT ONE TIME WHO WAS A VERY NEGATIVE AND EVIL PERSON.
AND I TAKE A PHOTOGRAPH IN THE DARK CORNER.
AND YOU SEE THESE STREAKS OF ENERGY GOING THROUGH THE PHOTOGRAPH.
Hinkle: NOBODY REALLY WANTED TO BE IN THE HOUSE.
MY SON WAS AFRAID OF SOMETHING THAT HE CALLED THE BAD MAN.
Kaufman: I THOUGHT I WAS GOING CRAZY.
Carr: I TAKE A PHOTOGRAPH IN THE CORNER, AND YOU SEE THESE STREAKS OF ENERGY GOING THROUGH THE PHOTOGRAPH.
THE STREAKS OF ENERGY ARE NO ANY SORT OF NATURAL LIGHT.
IT LOOKS LIKE SOMEBODY'S MOVING FASTER THAN THE CAMERA CAN TAKE A PHOTOGRAPH.
I BELIEVE THAT THAT'S HOW A LOT OF SPIRITS WILL MANIFEST THEMSELVES IS WITH THESE STREAKS OF ENERGY.
I THINK IT'S THE NEGATIVE ENERGY THAT STAYS DOWN IN THAT AREA, HIDES IN THAT CORNER, AND COMES OUT OCCASIONALLY DOWN IN THE BOILER AREA.
SO, WE STARTED DOING SOME MORE RESEARCH INTO THIS PARTICULAR PAR OF THE BUILDING.
ONE OF THE STORIES THAT WE WERE TOLD IS OF THIS YOUNG GIRL BEING BROUGHT INTO THE BUILDING, ASSAULTED, AND THEN EVENTUALLY MURDERED.
I'VE HAD A FEW PSYCHICS SAY HER NAME'S MARY.
I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO COLLEC AS MUCH EVIDENCE AS I CAN ABOUT THIS YOUNG GIRL IN THE MILL AND THE ROOM WE BELIEVE SHE WAS KILLED IN.
Rice: THE FIRST TIME I WEN INTO THE ROOM WHERE MARY WAS MURDERED, I FELT VERY ANXIOUS, ALMOST LIKE SOMETHING WAS TRYING TO PUSH ME OUT OF THE ROOM.
Carr: I WAS TRYING TO CONTACT MARY, AND I WAS TRYING TO GE HER STIRRED UP.
I WANTED HER TO TALK.
I ASKED MARY, THE SPIRIT, "WHAT DID HE DO TO YOU?" AND I FELT AS IF A PHYSICAL HAND GRABBED MY WRIS AND STARTED TO PULL MY ARM BACK BEHIND MY BACK.
AT THAT SAME TIME, I FELT LIKE A HAND HAD GRABBED AROUND MY NECK AND WAS PUSHING ME TO THE GROUND.
Rice: IT WAS TAKING EVERYTHING HE COULD NOT TO LET HIS ARM BE TWISTED AROUND TO HIS BACK.
Carr: I WAS FIGHTING IT, AND I FINALLY GOT TO THE STATE WHERE I SAID, "I'VE GOT TO GET OUT OF HERE.
" AS SOON AS I WALKED OUT OF THE ROOM, I WAS FINE.
NOTHING WAS HAPPENING, BUT I HAD TWO RED MARKS ON MY NECK.
MY LEFT ARM WAS IN SO MUCH PAIN, I COULDN'T USE I THE REST OF THE NIGHT.
Rice: WHEN I LOOK AT THE PHOTOS, IT LOOKS LIKE SOMEONE IS ACTUALLY DRAGGING THEIR NAILS ACROSS THE BACK OF TOM'S NECK.
Carr: I BELIEVE THAT THE SPIRI THAT ATTACKED ME WAS THE MAN WHO KILLED MARY.
HE HAS BEEN TRAPPED IN THE BUILDING HIMSELF FOR WHAT HE DID, AND HE'S STILL IN THERE.
WHEN I ASKED, "WHAT DID HE DO? WHAT DID HE DO?" I THINK HE SHOWED ME WHAT HE DID.
I THINK HE GRABBED HER BY THE ARM AND THREW HER TO THE GROUND AND ASSAULTED HER.
I WAS SCARED, AND IT TAKES A LOT TO SCARE ME.
I ACTUALLY DID NOT GO BACK INTO THE MILL FOR THE REST OF THE NIGHT.
Rice: YOU DO HAVE TO BE CAREFUL WITH WHAT YOU'RE OPENING THE DOORS UP TO, SO I DON'T TRY TO PROVOKE JUST BECAUSE I DON'T WANT I HAPPENING TO ME.
Carr: IT'S PROBABLY ONE OF THE MOST INTENSE EXPERIENCES I HAVE EVERY HAD, AND I DON'T WANT TO GO BACK IN THERE.
THE BARON WOOLEN MILL IS DEFINITELY ONE OF THE MOS HAUNTED LOCATIONS I HAVE EVER INVESTIGATED.
Rice: AFTER MY EXPERIENCES AT THE MILL, I'M COMPLETELY CONVINCED THA GHOSTS EXIST ALL AROUND US.
Carr: WITH THE EVIDENCE THA WE'VE CAUGHT IN THE LOCATION, IT'S PROOF TO ME THA THESE SPIRITS DO LINGER.
Rice: THIS PLACE IS AMAZING, AND WITH SO MUCH STUFF GOING ON, IT'S JUST MADE I THAT MUCH MORE REAL TO ME.
Carr: THERE ARE SPIRITS HERE ON THIS EARTH THAT WANT TO COMMUNICATE WITH US AND WANT TO SHARE THEIR EXPERIENCES OF THE OTHER SIDE.
Kaufman: I JUST GOT THIS REALLY, REALLY WEIRD FEELING.
IT WAS JUST LIKE THE HAIRS ON THE BACK OF MY NECK STOOD UP.
I SAID, "I THINK THERE'S SOMEONE BEHIND ME.
" Hinkle: I WAS TERRIFIED TO BE ALONE IN THE HOUSE.
I THINK THAT WHATEVER IS THERE DEFINITELY DID NOT WANT US THERE.
MY GHOST STORY BEGAN WHEN MY SISTER-IN-LAW AND I STARTED TO EXPERIENCE UNEXPLAINED THINGS IN MY HOUSE.
IT WAS THE SUMMER OF 2008.
MY BROTHER HAD LEASED A HOME IN SOUTHERN OHIO IN GREENFIELD.
HIS WIFE, JASMINE, MY SISTER-IN-LAW, WAS PREGNANT, AND THEY WERE MOVING, AND I WAS UP THERE, HELPING HER GET SETTLED IN.
Kaufman: EVERYTHING SEEMED TO BE GOING REALLY WELL.
I WAS REALLY EXCITED THA WE LIVED RIGHT ON THE RIVER.
WE LOVED IT.
EVERYTHING WAS REALLY BEAUTIFUL.
AND THE HOUSE COULDN'T HAVE BEEN MORE PERFECT FOR US.
Hinkle: WE HAD NO NEIGHBORS.
THE NEAREST NEIGHBORS WERE AT LEAS A COUPLE HUNDRED YARDS AWAY.
Kaufman: WE COULDN'T HAVE BEEN THERE MORE THAN A WEEK OR TWO, AND WE JUST STARTED EXPERIENCING A LOT OF WEIRD THINGS.
I THOUGHT I WAS GOING CRAZY.
I STARTED HEARING, LIKE, WHISPERING.
[ INDISTINCT WHISPERING .]
Hinkle: A LOT OF TIMES, YOU WOULD HEAR WHAT SOUNDED LIKE SOMEBODY COMING THROUGH THE FRONT DOOR.
YOU'D GO CHECK.
THERE WOULD BE NOBODY THERE.
AT NIGHT, WE WOULD STAY UP, AND WE WOULD DO THE CLEANING AND EVERYTHING THAT NEEDED TO BE DONE AROUND THE HOUSE, THE LAUNDRY, AND WHEN I WOULD BE AT THE SINK, I WOULD ALWAYS FEEL THAT THERE WAS SOMEBODY STANDING THERE, JUST LOOKING IN THROUGH THE WINDOW.
JUST ABOUT EVERY NIGHT, I WOULD HAVE TO SHUT THE CURTAINS BECAUSE IT WAS TOO CREEPY BECAUSE I COULD JUST PICTURE A MAN STANDING THERE -- AN OLD MAN WEARING SOME TYPE OF A HAT.
NOBODY REALLY WANTED TO BE IN THE HOUSE.
MY SON WAS AFRAID OF SOMETHING THAT HE CALLED A MAN, A BAD MAN.
I FELT LIKE I WAS BEING WATCHED.
MY SISTER-IN-LAW, JASMINE, HAD TOLD ME ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS THAT SHE FELT LIKE SHE WAS BEING WATCHED AND SHE DIDN'T FEEL COMFORTABLE IN THE HOUSE BY HERSELF.
Kaufman: THE MOST ACTIVE AREAS OF THE HOUSE WERE PROBABLY THE LOFT BEDROOM UPSTAIRS AND THE BACK HALLWAY TOWARDS THE FRONT DOOR.
Hinkle: ONE NIGHT, MYSELF AND MY SISTER-IN-LAW HAD DECIDED TO SIT DOWN AND SHARE STORIES ABOUT THE HOUSE, AND WE WERE TELLING EACH OTHER THINGS THAT HAD HAPPENED THAT WE'D SEEN AND WE HAD HEARD, WE DECIDED THAT WE WERE GOING TO DO AN EVP SESSION.
WE JUST STARTED ASKING QUESTIONS.
RIGHT AFTER I'D ASKED, "WHAT'S YOUR NAME? IF THERE'S ANYBODY HERE, WOULD YOU LIKE TO TALK TO US?" YOU CAN HEAR WHAT SOUNDS LIKE A CHILD'S VOICE.
HE ACTUALLY WHISPERS THE NAME ESAU.
ESAU IS ACTUALLY A COMMON NAME FOR AN AMISH BOY, ESPECIALLY IN OHIO, BEING AMISH COUNTRY.
Kaufman: MY CAT JUMPED IN MY LAP, AND HE WAS THIS BIG OLD FURRY THING, AND I ALWAYS CALLED HIM FAT CAT.
THAT WAS JUST MY NICKNAME FOR HIM.
AND I WAS JUST LIKE, "YOU LIKE MY FAT CAT HERE?" AND THERE WAS THIS AUDIO THAT SAYS, "NO.
DOGS NOT LIKE HUMANS.
THEY DON'T TALK.
" Hinkle: I WAS FREAKED OUT.
I GOT THE CHILLS, AND I ALMOST -- I WAS ALMOST SPEECHLESS.
IT SCARED ME TO DEATH.
I DEFINITELY DID NOT EXPECT THAT.
WE ALSO USED A DIGITAL CAMERA TO SNAP SOME PICTURES THROUGHOUT THE HOUSE.
Kaufman: I WAS STANDING BY THE STAIRCASE, AND I JUST GOT THIS REALLY, REALLY WEIRD FEELING.
THE HAIRS ON THE BACK OF MY NECK STOOD UP.
I TOLD MONICA, I SAID, "I THINK THERE'S SOMEONE BEHIND ME," AND SHE SNAPPED A PICTURE, AND THERE'S ALL KINDS OF, I GUESS WHAT YOU WOULD CALL ORBS, IN THEM.
IT WAS JUST REALLY WEIRD TO FEEL THA AND NOT SEE NOTHING BEHIND YOU AND TAKE A PICTURE, AND SOMETHING WAS THERE.
Hinkle: IN ONE OF THE PICTURES IN PARTICULAR, WE CAUGHT WHAT LOOKS LIKE AN IMAGE OF A MAN, AND YOU CAN SEE WHAT LOOKS LIKE THE IMAGE OF A MAN THAT IS WEARING A HAT.
ACTUALLY KIND OF PUTS ME IN MIND OF WHAT I THOUGHT WAS LOOKING IN IN THE KITCHEN WINDOW, WHICH SCARED ME TO DEATH.
ANOTHER PICTURE TAKEN RIGHT BEFORE THAT -- IT'S AN ORB PICTURE.
FROM THE SHOULDERS UP, YOU CAN SEE A FACE IN THE ORB.
NOT REALLY SURE WHAT IT IS OR WHO IT COULD BE.
MY SON WOULD TALK ABOUT A MAN, A BAD MAN.
I THINK THAT MAY BE WHO HE WAS TALKING ABOUT.
ONE TIME, WE WERE ACTUALLY ON THE COUCH, WATCHING TV, AND WE SAW SOMEBODY WALK BY THE WINDOW.
WE GOT UP TO GO CHECK IT OUT, TO SEE WHO WAS THERE.
OF COURSE, THERE WAS NOBODY.
THERE WAS NO WAY FOR WHOEVER WAS THERE TO GET OFF OF THE DECK AND AWAY FROM THE HOUSE BEFORE BEING CAUGH 'CAUSE WE WOULD HAVE SEEN HIM.
I THINK THAT WHATEVER IS THERE DEFINITELY DID NO WANT US THERE, AND IT WAS LETTING US KNOW THAT IT DID NOT WANT US THERE.
AFTER SEEING ALL THE PICTURES AND HEARING THE RECORDINGS, I ENDED UP PACKING WHAT THINGS THAT I HAD THERE, AND I TOOK MY SON, AND I MOVED OUT.
Kaufman: THE WHOLE TIME THESE THINGS WERE GOING ON, THE ONLY THING IN MY HEAD WAS, "HOW DO YOU PROTECT SOMEONE FROM SOMETHING YOU CAN'T EVEN SEE?" A COUPLE WEEKS AFTER MONICA MOVED OUT, MY HUSBAND AND I DECIDED TO MOVE BACK HOME OURSELVES.
IT HAS BEEN TWO YEARS SINCE WE LIVED IN THAT HOUSE, AND EVERY TIME I'VE BEEN BACK TO UP THERE SINCE AND DROVE BY THAT HOUSE, NO ONE HAS BEEN THERE.
WE GOT A REALLY GOOD DEAL ON THE HOUSE BECAUSE THEY COULDN'T KEEP ANYBODY THERE.
AFTER MY EXPERIENCES IN THIS HOUSE, THERE IS NO DOUBT IN MY MIND THERE IS SOMETHING AFTER THIS LIFE.
Gonzalez: THE HAUNTING STARTED IMMEDIATELY AFTER WE BOUGHT THE HOUSE.
WEIRD NOISES THAT YOU CAN'T EXPLAIN.
I'VE ACTUALLY HEARD VOICES OF CHILDREN.
Otero: WE'VE NEVER EXPERIENCED ANYTHING LIKE THAT.
Gonzalez: YOU FEEL LIKE YOU'RE BEING WATCHED.
THE SHADOWS THAT DAR FROM LEFT TO RIGHT, WEIRD NOISES THAT YOU CAN'T EXPLAIN.
I'VE ACTUALLY HEARD VOICES OF CHILDREN.
TERRIFYING WHEN YOU HEAR STUFF LIKE THAT.
MY GHOST STORY BEGAN WHEN I MOVED INTO THE VICTORIAN MANSION IN GARDNER, MASSACHUSETTS.
LILLIAN, MY FIANCéE, LOVES VICTORIANS.
IN 2008, WE WENT ONLINE, AND WE SAW THIS AMAZING 26-ROOM MANSION.
Otero: THE MINUTE I WENT INSIDE, IT WAS JUST ABSOLUTELY BREATHTAKING TO ME, AND I JUST FELL IN LOVE WITH IT.
Gonzalez: WE WENT UP ON THE THIRD FLOOR, AND WE SAW THE HOUSE HAS A CISTERN, WHICH WOULD FILL UP WITH RAINWATER AND DRAIN THROUGHOUT THE SINKS OF THE HOUSE.
LILLIAN HAD BROUGH SOME CAMERAS, SO WE STARTED TAKING PHOTOS, AND WHEN I GOT BACK HOME, I LOOKED AT THE PHOTO, AND WHEN I GOT CLOSE UP, I NOTICED THA IT SAID EDWIN ON IT.
AND IT'S NOT A COMMON NAME.
IT WAS ALMOST LIKE I WAS MEAN TO BUY THE HOUSE.
THE HAUNTING STARTED ALMOST IMMEDIATELY AFTER WE BOUGHT THE HOUSE.
WE WOULD HEAR FOOTSTEPS [ TAPPING .]
SCRATCHING NOISES [ SCRAPING .]
THE PIANO PLAYING.
[ NOTES PLAY .]
Otero: AT FIRST, WE KIND OF BRUSHED IT OFF AND SAID, "OH, YOU KNOW, IT'S OUR IMAGINATION.
" BUT THEY JUST KEP GETTING MORE BIZARRE.
Gonzalez: OUR DOGS WOULD JUS START GROWLING AND BARKING.
[ BARKING .]
Gonzalez: VIOLENT SLAMMING DOORS.
Otero: WE'VE NEVER EXPERIENCED ANYTHING LIKE THAT.
IT WAS JUST -- JUST CRAZY.
Gonzalez: AFTER ALL THESE INCIDENTS THAT OCCURRED IN THE HOUSE, I DECIDED TO DO SOME RESEARCH.
I FOUND OUT THA A FURNITURE TYCOON, S.
K.
PIERCE, BUILT THE HOUSE BACK IN 1875.
IN THE LATE 1800s, HIS SONS TURNED IT INTO A BROTHEL FOR THE LOCAL GENTRY.
AND THEN IT BECAME VACAN FOR 20 YEARS.
WHAT WAS DONE TO THE HOUSE, I'M NOT SURE.
AND THEN IN 1963, THERE WAS A FIRE IN THE MASTER BEDROOM.
[ SIREN WAILS .]
BY THE TIME THE FIREFIGHTERS CAME UP THE STAIRCASE, THERE WAS A MAN ENGULFED IN FLAMES.
[ MAN SCREAMS .]
Gonzalez: WHEN THEY PUT THE FIRE OUT, THERE WAS VERY LITTLE LEFT OF HIM, AND THEY RULED IT AS A POSSIBLE SPONTANEOUS-COMBUSTION CASE.
Otero: THE THOUGHT OF SOMEONE DYING IN OUR HOUSE -- I TRY NOT TO THINK ABOUT I TOO OFTEN.
WHEN YOU START HEARING THINGS AND SEEING THINGS -- JUST THINGS THAT YOU CANNOT EXPLAIN -- THEN IT BECOMES AN ISSUE WHERE YOU START THINKING, "I WONDER IF HE'S THE ONE MAKING THAT NOISE.
" Gonzalez: WE DECIDED TO CONTAC A VERY GOOD PARANORMAL INVESTIGATOR.
WHEN HE CAME BY, HE DECIDED TO SNAP PHOTOS.
HE GOT THIS AMAZING PHOTO OF A WOMAN FLOATING UP ON THE WINDOW.
Otero: I THINK IT'S A REALLY CREEPY PICTURE, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU OWN THE HOUSE AND PEOPLE TELL YOU, "I SAW SOMEONE LOOKING OU YOUR WINDOW," AND YOU KNOW THERE'S NO ONE THERE.
Gonzalez: THE VALIDATION WAS AMAZING.
I KNEW THAT THERE WAS SOMETHING GOING ON, AND I NEEDED TO KNOW WHO IT WAS, SO AFTER THAT, PSYCHICS CAME UP WITH THE NAME MATTIE CORNWALL.
AND I FOUND CENSUS RECORDS, AND SURE ENOUGH, THERE WAS A MATTIE CORNWALL LISTED.
SHE WAS ONE OF 23 SERVANTS THAT S.
K.
PIERCE HAD BACK IN THE 1880s.
AND THEN IN THE SERVANTS' QUARTERS, SOMETHING WAS CAPTURED WHICH WAS QUITE CHILLING.
I LOOKS LIKE A MIST OF A WOMAN.
Otero: IT'S A REALLY STRANGE PICTURE.
DEFINITELY THINK IT'S PARANORMAL.
Gonzalez: I JUST KNEW.
I HAD A FEELING THAT IT WAS MATTIE CORNWALL.
Otero: IF SHE DIED AND FELT SUCH A STRONG CONNECTION TO THAT HOUSE, I FEEL LIKE SHE FEELS LIKE SHE STILL NEEDS TO TAKE CARE OF THE HOUSE.
I REALLY THINK THAT SHE HAS A BIG INTEREST IN THE HOUSE.
Gonzalez: IN THE ROOM ACROSS FROM THE MASTER BEDROOM, THIS AMAZING PHOTO WAS CAPTURED OF A WEIRD-LOOKING VORTEX.
I WAS TOLD THAT IT'S A PORTAL WHERE SPIRITS CAN TRAVEL BACK AND FORTH.
Otero: THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO LIGHT SOURCE WITHIN THAT ROOM AT THE TIME THAT THEY TOOK THIS PHOTOGRAPH.
AND WHAT YOU SEE IS A COLUMN OF LIGH GOING FROM THE CORNER OF THE BED ALL THE WAY UP TO THE LIGHT FIXTURE.
I'VE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THAT.
Gonzalez: I THINK THE MOS UNSETTLING INCIDEN THAT HAPPENED TO US WAS THE MORNING LILLIAN HAD AWAKENED TO HEARING VOICES WHICH LED HER TO THE BASEMENT.
Otero: I DON'T REMEMBER A LOT OF THE THINGS THAT I DID THAT DAY.
THE NEXT THING YOU KNOW, I'M IN THE BASEMENT.
AND THERE'S A KILN.
AND I WENT STRAIGHT TO THE KILN, GRABBED A LITTLE GARDEN TROWEL, JUST STARTED DIGGING.
Gonzalez: I FINALLY WENT DOWN TO THE BASEMENT.
SHE'S ALL DRESSED UP, AND THERE'S SOOT COMING UP, AND SHE'S GETTING FILTHY, AND I ASKED HER.
I SAID, "HON, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" AND SHE SAYS, "I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M DOING.
" AND THEN SHE QUICKLY SNAPPED AT ME, SO I SAID, "OH, OKAY.
I'LL LEAVE YOU ALONE.
I'LL JUST GO BACK UPSTAIRS.
" Otero: I CONTINUED DIGGING.
I GOT TO THE END -- THE CEMEN FLOOR OF THE KILN -- AND I SAW SOMETHING, AND I PICKED IT UP, AND I WENT [GASPS.]
AND THEN IT WAS LIKE ME AGAIN.
I'M LIKE, "OH, MY GOD.
THIS IS A PELVIC BONE.
IT'S A HUMAN PELVIC BONE.
" Gonzalez: 20 MINUTES LATER, IT WAS ALMOST AS THOUGH IT WAS HER AGAIN.
SHE WAS MORE HAPPY, UPBEAT.
SO, SHE SAYS, "I FOUND SOMETHING.
IT LOOKS LIKE A PELVIC BONE.
" A PELVIC BONE? Otero: LUCKILY, EDWIN HAD AN APPOINTMENT WITH HIS DOCTOR THE FOLLOWING DAY, SO I TOOK PICTURES OF IT, AND HIS DOCTOR TOLD HIM THAT IN HIS MEDICAL OPINION, IT WAS THA OF A HUMAN PELVIC BONE.
Gonzalez: I THINK THE SCARIEST PART IS IT WAS ALMOST AS THOUGH SOMETHING HAD TOOK OVER HER AND LED HER TO THE BASEMENT, LIKE SOMETHING POSSESSED HER.
I DID HAVE A PSYCHIC COME IN.
THROUGH ALL THE CLAIMS OF EVERYTHING THAT'S HAPPENED TO THE HOUSE, HE SAYS THAT'S THE MOST DISTURBING BECAUSE YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT SHE'S GONNA DO OR WHAT SHE'S CAPABLE OF DOING.
Otero: I WORRY.
SOME PEOPLE HAVE SAID I HAVE TO BE CAREFUL.
IT COULD GET VIOLEN OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, AND THAT DOES SCARE ME.
Gonzalez: IF THAT WAS TO HAPPEN TO HER AGAIN -- BEING POSSESSED BY SOMETHING -- I FEEL THAT SHE'S GONNA DO SOMETHING THAT COULD EITHER HARM HERSELF OR MAYBE EVEN ME.
I THINK THROUGHOU THE WHOLE MANSION, THE BASEMENT, TO ME, IS THE CREEPIEST PART.
THE REASON WHY I DON'T LIKE GOING TO THE BASEMEN IS I'VE SEEN THINGS -- THE SHADOWS THAT DAR FROM LEFT TO RIGHT, AND WEIRD NOISES THAT YOU CAN'T EXPLAIN.
I'VE ACTUALLY HEARD VOICES OF CHILDREN.
THERE WAS A PSYCHIC WHO HAD PICKED UP ON CHILDREN BEING TRAPPED IN THE BASEMENT.
SO, ONE OF THE INVESTIGATORS JUST STARTED POSING QUESTIONS, AND HE'S LIKE, "DO YOU HAVE SOMEONE TRAPPED HERE? DO YOU HAVE SOMEONE HERE? WHAT IS YOUR NAME?" AND SURE ENOUGH, THESE VOICES WERE CAPTURED.
"YOUR SECRET'S SAFE WITH ME.
" TERRIFYING WHEN YOU HEAR STUFF LIKE THAT.
Otero: WHEN I FIRST HEARD IT, IT WAS A SHOCKER.
IT WAS.
BECAUSE I'VE HEARD OTHER EVPs, AND YOU KIND OF HAVE TO TRY TO MAKE OUT WHAT THEY'RE SAYING.
THIS IS, LIKE, RIGHT THERE.
YOUR MIND JUST GOES CRAZY THINKING OF WHO WAS SAYING IT.
IS IT A CHILD? IS IT AN ADULT? YOU KNOW, WHAT SECRE ARE THEY TALKING ABOUT? Gonzalez: IN MY OPINION, IT'S ALL RELATED TO THE BROTHEL.
I THINK THERE WAS A LO OF CHILDREN WHO WERE BORN THERE THAT WERE POSSIBLY DISCARDED.
Otero: BEFORE LIVING IN THIS HOUSE, I WAS VERY SKEPTICAL.
I DIDN'T BELIEVE MANY STORIES THAT I'VE HEARD.
NOW THAT I'VE BEEN GOING THROUGH THIS -- I MEAN, IT'S BEEN TWO YEARS STRAIGH OF SO MANY BIZARRE THINGS.
I DO BELIEVE 100% NOW THAT THERE ARE GHOSTS.
Gonzalez: THE FIRST 40 YEARS OF MY LIFE, NEVER EXPERIENCING ANYTHING AND WITHIN THE PAST TWO YEARS, EXPERIENCING NUMEROUS DIFFERENT THINGS, THERE'S NO DOUBT IN MY MIND, 100% CONVINCED THAT THERE IS AN AFTERLIFE.
Dawn: THE CAMERA MOVED.
I RAN BACK INTO THE BEDROOM.
NEXT THING I KNOW, THERE WAS A BURNING SENSATION LIKE HOT COALS.
I LIFTED UP MY SHIR AND WAS WATCHING THE CLAW MARKS JUST RISE UP ON MY BACK.
I WAS SO SCARED, THINKING, "WHA ELSE IS IT GONNA DO TO ME?" Dawn: I KEPT HEARING NOISES IN THERE.
Aaron: THIS VERY UNCOMFORTABLE FEELING THAT THERE'S SOMETHING IN THE ROOM WITH YOU.
Dawn: WE ACTUALLY WATCHED THE BED SINK DOWN BESIDE HIM, AND THERE WAS NO ONE THERE.
IT WAS THE WIFE OF THE FORMER OWNER IN THAT ROOM.
[ TRAIN WHISTLE BLOWS .]
MY GHOST STORY BEGAN WHEN MY FAMILY AND I MOVED INTO A HAUNTED HOUSE IN WASHINGTON COURT HOUSE, OHIO.
WE WERE TIRED OF RENTING, SO WE DECIDED TO BUY A HOUSE.
MY HUSBAND LOOKED IT OVER AND DECIDED THIS WAS THE HOUSE FOR US.
Aaron: I LIKED THE HOUSE BECAUSE IT HAD A LOT OF ROOM.
IT WAS ALL ONE STORY.
THE ENERGY IN THE AIR WHEN WE FIRST MOVED IN, IT DID FEEL DIFFERENT.
Dawn: AS WE WERE LIVING THERE, AS THINGS WAS PROGRESSING, THE HOUSE FELT DEPRESSIVE.
IT FELT HEAVY.
IT JUST -- IT DON'T FEEL LIKE HOME.
I TALKED TO THE NEIGHBORS, AND THEY'RE THE ONES THAT HAD TOLD US ABOUT THE PREVIOUS OWNER.
WHAT WE DIDN'T KNOW WHEN WE BOUGHT THE HOUSE WAS THAT THE MALE, HE HAD PASSED AWAY IN OUR BEDROOM OF A HEART ATTACK.
AND THEY'D ALSO INFORMED US ABOUT HIM BEING UP ON THE ROOF AT ALL HOURS, WHERE THEY'D HAVE TO CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMEN TO COME AND GET HIM DOWN.
ONE NIGHT, I WAS LAYING THERE WHEN I ACTUALLY HEARD RUNNING IN THE ATTIC.
[ TAPPING .]
YOU WOULD HAVE TO BE THE TINIES PERSON IN THE WORLD TO GET IN OUR ATTIC TO RUN.
I CALLED MY HUSBAND AT WORK.
HE THOUGHT MAYBE IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN AN ANIMAL UP THERE, SO I WENT OUTSIDE WITH A FLASHLIGH IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT, LOOKING AROUND.
NOTHING ON OUR ROOF.
THEY WERE FOOTSTEPS.
IT WASN'T LIKE AN ANIMAL SOUND.
THESE WERE ACTUAL HUMAN FOOTSTEPS.
[ TAPPING .]
THAT KIND OF SCARED ME.
Aaron: AFTER EVERYTHING THA SEEMED TO BE HAPPENING AROUND WITH MY WIFE, WE DECIDED TO HAVE SOMEBODY COME IN AND CHECK IT OUT.
Dawn: I'D SEEN A PARANORMAL GROUP THAT WAS GONNA BE IN TOWN AT THE LOCAL LIBRARY.
I DECIDED TO HAVE THEM COME AND INVESTIGATE MY HOME.
THAT WEEKEND, WE HAD THE INVESTIGATORS COME IN.
I WAS SITTING ON THE FLOOR WITH MY BACK AGAINST THE WALL.
ALL OF A SUDDEN, I FELT A BURNING SENSATION LIKE HOT COALS.
THE INVESTIGATOR HAD JUMPED UP.
I KEPT YELLING, "MY BACK'S BURNING.
IT HURTS.
IT HURTS.
" MY BACK'S BURNING! OH, MY BACK'S BURNING! HE LIFTED UP MY SHIR AND STARTED TAKING PICTURES.
AND THEY WERE WATCHING THE CLAW MARKS JUST RISE UP ON MY BACK.
I WAS SO SCARED, THINKING, "WHA ELSE IS IT GONNA DO TO ME?" Aaron: I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO THINK.
I WAS MAD BECAUSE SOMETHING WAS MESSING WITH MY WIFE.
I FELT HELPLESS THAT I DIDN' KNOW WHAT TO DO.
Dawn: WE DECIDED TO END THE INVESTIGATION THAT NIGH BECAUSE THEY THOUGHT THEY WERE DOING MORE HARM THAN GOOD.
IT PUTS A FEAR IN YOU THAT YOU'VE NEVER HAD BEFORE.
THE FRONT BEDROOM, WHICH IS NOW THE GRANDKIDS' BEDROOM -- BUT IT WAS THE PREVIOUS OWNER'S WIFE'S BEDROOM.
WE SET THE CAMERA UP IN THAT ROOM BECAUSE I KEPT HEARING NOISES IN THERE LIKE TAPPING AND THUMPING NOISES.
I WENT OUT OF THE ROOM, AND I LET THE CAMERA RUN.
WHEN WE WENT TO REVIEW IT, THAT'S WHEN WE'D SEEN ORBS AND THEN THE CHAIR MOVING ON ITS OWN.
Aaron: WHEN I WAS GOING OVER THE VIDEO, I HEARD IT BEFORE I ACTUALLY SEEN I BECAUSE I HAD HEADPHONES ON.
Dawn: THE POINT WHERE I HAD THE VIDEO CAMERA POINTING AT THE TV, IT WAS ALMOST LIKE A MIRROR TO WHERE YOU COULD SEE THAT THERE WAS NOBODY IN THE ROOM BECAUSE YOU COULD SEE SOMEBODY OPENING AND CLOSING THAT DOOR.
I KNEW WHATEVER SPIRIT REMAINED IN THAT ROOM, SHE WAS THERE TO WATCH OVER EVERYBODY.
I BELIEVE IT WAS THE WIFE OF THE FORMER OWNER THAT'S IN THAT ROOM.
THE SAME DAY, RIGHT BEFORE WE'D SET UP THE VIDEO CAMERA, I DECIDED TO GO IN THERE AND SNAP SOME PICTURES.
I ACTUALLY STARTED TO SEE THIS MIST FORMING.
IT WENT FROM REALLY LIGHT, AND THEN IT JUST KEPT GETTING HEAVIER AND HEAVIER UNTIL IT FORMED ALMOST LIKE A MIST.
AND THEN YOU SEE I FLOAT OVER TOWARDS THE BED AND THEN DISAPPEAR.
I KNOW A LOT OF PEOPLE LOOK AT THAT AND THEY'RE THINKING, "OH, WELL, SOMEBODY WAS SMOKING.
" WE DON'T ALLOW SMOKING IN OUR HOME.
TO ME, IT WAS AMAZING BECAUSE I WAS ACTUALLY CAPTURING I AS IT WAS FORMING LIKE THAT.
AT 3:00 IN THE MORNING, I WAS HEARING THE WALKING SOUNDS.
MY HUSBAND WAS AT WORK, SO I WENT AHEAD AND SET UP THE VIDEO CAMERA.
OUR SUGAR GLIDER WAS SITTING RIGHT NEXT TO IT, AND YOU CAN HEAR HIS BELL GO OFF EVERY TIME HE'D GET EXCITED.
[ BELL TINKLES .]
AND HE NEVER GETS EXCITED UNLESS THERE'S SOMEONE IN THE ROOM.
I WENT AHEAD AND PUSHED RECORD, AND I WENT BACK TO BED.
I WAS LAYING THERE, AND I DID HAVE THE TV ON, BUT EVERYTHING OU IN THE KITCHEN STARTED GETTING LOUDER AND LOUDER.
[ BELL TINKLES .]
I DECIDED TO STEP OUTSIDE INTO THE KITCHEN.
[ BELL TINKLES .]
I WAS OUT THERE FOR A FEW MINUTES.
NEXT THING I KNOW, THE CAMERA MOVED.
I STOOD THERE FOR A FEW MINUTES, SEEING IF ANYTHING ELSE WOULD HAPPEN, AND THEN IT REALLY MOVED.
I RAN BACK INTO THE BEDROOM, FLIPPED ON THE LIGHTS, TURNED UP THE TV, AND I WAS UP THE REST OF THE NIGH BECAUSE I WAS SCARED TO GO TO BED.
Aaron: BEFORE, I WAS SKEPTICAL ABOUT PARANORMAL THINGS.
AFTER THE THINGS THAT'S HAPPENED AT OUR HOUSE, IT HAS REALLY OPENED MY EYES THAT THERE'S SOMETHING BEYOND OUR REALM THAT ACTUALLY EXISTS OUT THERE.
Dawn: WHEN THIS ALL FIRST STARTED HAPPENING, I DID NOT BELIEVE IN SPIRITS.
I THOUGHT WHEN YOU DIED, YOU MOVED ON.
FROM EVERYTHING THAT'S HAPPENED, I KNOW THERE'S SPIRITS OUT THERE.
