Nightmare on 6th Street
Glosser: THERE IS SOMETHING VERY EVIL AND SINISTER IN THE BASEMENT.
Shay: IT'S PISSED THAT WE'RE INVADING ITS SPACE, AND IT'S TRYING TO SAY, "GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE.
" Covey: THAT'S A REAL GHOST.
THAT'S NOT A MOVIE.
THAT'S REALLY IN OUR BUILDING, WATCHING US.
Guthrie: SEEING THA SENT SHIVERS THROUGH MY BODY, 'CAUSE I HAVEN'T SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS BEFORE.
Knickerbocker: WHEN I LOOKED UP AT THE DOOR, THERE WAS A SHADOW PERSON, STANDING, LOOKING AT ME.
Newell: THERE WAS SOMETHING UP THERE WITH US, AND IT WASN'T HUMAN.
I WAS TERRIFIED.
Elzey: HE HAD THREE LARGE SCRATCHES ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF HIS FACE.
Woolever: SOMETHING WAS ACTUALLY TRYING TO MAKE ITSELF KNOWN.
Martin: YOU CANNOT TELL ME THAT WHAT WE SAW WAS NOT A SPIRIT OF SOME SORT.
Davis: MY INSTINCT WAS TO RUN IMMEDIATELY DOWN THE STAIRS AND GET OUT OF THAT HOUSE.
Glosser: IT FEELS LIKE THE HAIRS ARE JUST PULLING OUT OF YOUR ARM.
Shay: I GOT THE CRAP SCARED OUT OF ME.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS.
WHATEVER'S DOWN THERE MEANS BUSINESS.
Glosser: HE HAD THESE VOICES IN HIS HEAD TELLING HIM TO KILL EVERYBODY IN THE BASEMENT.
MY GHOST STORY BEGAN WHEN I VISITED THE TWIN CITY OPERA HOUSE IN McCONNELSVILLE, OHIO.
I'VE BEEN FASCINATED WITH THE PARANORMAL EVER SINCE I WAS A CHILD.
I BECAME A POLICE OFFICER, AND WHEN I RETIRED FROM THAT, I JUMPED INTO THE PARANORMAL FIELD.
A FRIEND OF MINE SUGGESTED THAT WE GO TO THE TWIN CITY OPERA HOUSE.
AND I REMEMBER IT AS A KID.
IT WAS KIND OF A SPOOKY-LOOKING PLACE.
SINCE THAT TIME, THERE'S BEEN STRANGE ELECTRICAL OCCURRENCES -- THE LIGHTS TURNING ON AND OFF BY THEMSELVES, ALL KINDS OF THINGS.
Shay: THE FIRST TIME I ACTUALLY HEARD ABOUT THE TWIN CITY OPERA HOUSE WAS THROUGH A FRIEND -- ERIC.
I'VE ALWAYS BEEN INVOLVED IN THE PARANORMAL.
I GO INTO A PLACE SKEPTICAL, AND I TRY TO TAKE THAT APPROACH, YOU KNOW, TRY TO FIGURE THINGS OUT FOR MYSELF -- "WHAT COULD BE CAUSING THIS OR THAT?" IT REALLY DOES HELP GOING INTO A PLACE THAT IS SUPPOSED TO BE HAUNTED.
Glosser: WHEN YOU WALK INTO THE OPERA HOUSE, IT'S LIKE GOING BACK IN TIME.
IN 1892, THE OPERA HOUSE OFFICIALLY OPENED.
IT WAS THE FIRST BUILDING IN McCONNELSVILLE LIT BY ELECTRICITY.
OPENING NIGHT, IT WAS A FULL HOUSE, 850 PEOPLE, AND THE ELECTRICITY FAILED.
[ SCREAMS .]
Shay: YOU GET THAT WEIRD FEELING THAT SOMETHING IS WATCHING YOU AS SOON AS YOU WALK IN THERE.
Glosser: THE FIRST NIGHT WE WERE THERE, WE HEARD GROWLING NOISES WITH OUR OWN EARS.
Shay: THERE WAS FOOTSTEPS, PHANTOM FOOTSTEPS ON THE STAIRS.
Glosser: WE HAD WALKED INTO THE AUDITORIUM.
I HAD THE CAMCORDER.
ALL THE LIGHTS WERE OUT.
IT WAS PITCH-BLACK, AND THE NEXT THING YOU KNEW, THE LIGHTS JUST EXPLODED ON AND OFF.
IT SCARED THE [BLEEP.]
OUT OF US BECAUSE NO ONE HAD ACCESS TO THE LIGHTS.
THERE WAS ONLY ONE PLACE THA THEY COULD BE TURNED ON AND OFF, AND WE WERE JUST COMING FROM THAT AREA.
Shay: IT HAD HAPPENED, I GUESS, A COUPLE OTHER TIMES IN THE PAST HISTORY OF THE OPERA HOUSE.
THE HOUSE LIGHTS JUST CAME ON FOR NO APPARENT REASON.
I HAD NO EXPLANATION FOR IT, AND WATCHING THE VIDEO, I HAD NO IDEA OF WHAT COULD HAVE CAUSED THAT.
Glosser: I BELIEVE THAT WAS THE SPIRITS LETTING US KNOW THAT THEY WERE THERE AND THAT WAS THEIR BUILDING.
YOU STILL HERE, ROBERT? WE WERE INVESTIGATING THE OPERA HOUSE PROBABLY FOR A YEAR BEFORE WE DISCOVERED ROBERT LOWERY, WHICH WE CALL "RED WINE" ROBERT.
Shay: YOU STILL HERE? Glosser: HE'S HERE.
WE WERE ABLE TO CAPTURE AN EVP FROM HIM THAT SAYS, "I'VE GOT RED WINE.
" WE THOUGHT, "HOLY [BLEEP.]
THERE'S SOMEONE UP THERE.
HE WILL COUNT FOR US USING AN EMF METER, ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELD READER.
WE ASKED HIM HOW MANY SPIRITS WERE IN THE OPERA HOUSE.
HE MADE THE LIGHT BLINK 14 TIMES.
IT'S ALMOST LIKE HE TRIES TO TALK THROUGH THIS THING.
WE HAD HIM DROP THE TEMPERATURE LIKE 15 DEGREES ON COMMAND.
HE WILL COMMUNICATE WITH ME EVERY TIME THAT I'M THERE.
HE CLAIMS TO HAVE BEEN A STAGEHAND THERE RIGHT ABOU THE TURN OF THE CENTURY.
I BELIEVE THA HE LOVED HIS JOB SO MUCH, HE JUST DECIDED THAT'S WHERE HE WANTED TO STAY.
Shay: ERIC AND I WERE ACTUALLY INVESTIGATING THE CATWALK AREA IT'S A LITTLE CHILLY RIGHT THERE.
-Glosser: MM-HMM.
-Shay: 66 DEGREES.
WHEN WE STARTED HAVING SOME WEIRD TEMPERATURE READINGS AND, YOU KNOW, SOME STRANGE NOISES.
AND I ACTUALLY WAS TAKING PICTURES OF ERIC, AND THIS WEIRD BLUE MIST, LIKE, APPEARED BEHIND HIM AT THE EXACT TIME HE SAID HE WAS HAVING GOOSE BUMPS AND TINGLY FEELINGS.
I CAN'T EXPLAIN WHAT THESE BLUE LIGHTS WERE.
I MEAN, THEY WEREN'T THE TYPICAL ORBS YOU SEE IN PICTURES.
THIS WAS LIKE A LONG, STRETCHED BLUE MIST.
Glosser: IN MY OPINION, THESE PICTURES ARE OF ROBER OR OF ANOTHER SPIRI THAT HAUNTS THE OPERA HOUSE.
THERE IS SOMETHING VERY EVIL AND SINISTER IN THE BASEMENT.
Shay: THERE'S THE REGULAR BASEMEN WHERE THE GREEN ROOMS ARE, WHERE THE ACTORS AND ACTRESSES WOULD CHANGE IN BETWEEN SETS.
AND THEN THERE'S THE SUBBASEMENT, WHERE FURNACES AND STUFF LIKE THAT WERE KEPT.
WE HAVE DUBBED IT "THE BLACK HOLE" BECAUSE IT'S PITCH-BLACK, AND THERE'S ONLY LIGH DOWN IN THERE.
IT IS PRETTY CREEPY.
I'VE EXPERIENCED SOME PRETTY MENACING THINGS IN THE SUBBASEMENT.
WE'VE EVEN SEEN SHADOW FIGURES DARTING BACK AND FORTH.
Glosser: WE HAVE ENCOUNTERED A BLACK MASS THAT IS A VERY EVIL ENTITY.
WHEN IT IS THERE, YOU CAN FEEL IT.
IT'S DRAINING.
IT'LL TAKE YOUR ENERGY FROM YOU.
IT'LL MAKE YOU NAUSEOUS.
IT'LL MAKE YOU WEAK AND DISORIENTED.
THAT'S HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES THERE.
Shay: WE'VE HAD A LOT OF WOMEN THAT HAVE HAD STRANGE EXPERIENCES OF BEING GROPED AND, YOU KNOW, BEING SCRATCHED AND BEING SMACKED AND HAVING THEIR HAIR PULLED.
Glosser: WE HAD TAKEN SOME FRIENDS INTO THE BASEMENT.
WE WERE GIVING THEM A TOUR THROUGH THE OPERA HOUSE, AND ONE OF THE FRIENDS FELT SOMETHING, AND SHE PULLED HER COLLAR DOWN.
THERE WAS THREE DISTINC CLAW MARKS ON HER NECK.
WE'VE HAD TO ESCORT PEOPLE OU OF THE BASEMENT -- GROWN ADULTS CRYING.
ONE WAS A GROWN MAN.
WE WERE THINKING, "WELL, WHAT'S WRONG?" HE SAID THA HE HAD THESE VOICES IN HIS HEAD TELLING HIM TO KILL EVERYBODY IN THE BASEMENT.
ONE EVENING, WE LEFT FOUR DVR CAMERAS RUNNING IN THE BASEMENT.
NO ONE THERE.
WELL, A FEW DAYS AFTER, WHEN WE REVIEWED THE FOOTAGE, WE DISCOVERED ONE OF THE CAMERAS BLACKED OUT, TURNED WHITE, PURPLE, AND WE THOUGHT, "WELL, MAYBE THERE WAS A MALFUNCTION WITH THE CAMERA.
" Shay: SOME OF THESE CAMERAS, LIKE, WHEN SOMETHING GETS IN FRONT OF IT, THEY'RE INFRARED AND THEY WHITE COMPLETELY OUT.
AND THIS THING WENT COMPLETELY BLACK AND THEN HAD THIS WEIRD PURPLE HAZE.
AND THEN ANOTHER CAMERA PICKED UP THAT CAMERA BEING BLOCKED OU BY SOMETHING THAT LOOKED LIKE I CAME OUT OF THE WALL AND STUCK HIS HAND IN FRONT OF THE CAMERA AND THEN JUST JERKED IT BACK REAL QUICK.
Glosser: YOU CAN SEE A BLACK-BLOB-TYPE MASS.
PART OF IT BROKE FREE AND COVERED THE LENS OF THE CAMERA, BLACKING IT OUT.
WHEN I SEEN IT FOR THE FIRS TIME, I SAID, "HOLY [BLEEP.]
IT JUST CONFIRMS THAT THERE IS SOMETHING IN THE BASEMENT.
DOZENS OF PEOPLE HAVE WITNESSED I WITH THEIR OWN EYES AND FELT IT, BUT WE FINALLY HAD VIDEO OF IT.
Shay: THE WAY THAT ALL THE CAMERA ANGLES WERE SET UP, YOU COULD TELL NO ONE WAS DOWN THERE.
AND IT WAS JUST LIKE, "WHERE DID THIS THING COME FROM?" YOU KNOW, I'M TRYING TO THINK IN MY HEAD, WHAT KIND OF GLITCH COULD HAVE HAPPENED THAT WOULD HAVE CAUSED THIS? AND THEN MY MIND WAS JUST BLOWN AWAY, LIKE, "OKAY.
"I HAVE PERSONALLY SEEN THIS THING DOWN IN THIS BASEMENT.
"WE CAUGHT IT ON CAMERA.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS.
AND IT'S GONE LIKE THAT.
" Glosser: WE HAD ANOTHER PIECE OF VIDEO FOOTAGE THAT ACTUALLY SHOWED THE MASS MOVING.
YOU CAN OBVIOUSLY TELL THAT IT'S NOT A PERSON'S SHADOW.
IT JUST KIND OF FLOATS.
IT CAN APPEAR AND DISAPPEAR AND THEN APPEAR AGAIN.
Shay: LOOKING AT THE EVIDENCE MYSELF, I JUST WAS KIND OF AWESTRUCK AT IT, TOO, LIKE, "WOW," YOU KNOW, "THERE IT IS AGAIN.
" IT'S NOT REALLY CARING WHO SEES IT ANYMORE.
I THINK THIS BLACK MASS IS PRESENTING ITSELF MORE BECAUSE IT'S PISSED THAT SO MUCH STUFF IS HAPPENING AT THE OPERA HOUSE.
LIKE ANYTHING ELSE, I THINK MAYBE WE'RE IN ITS TERRITORY, WE'RE INVADING ITS SPACE, AND IT'S TRYING TO SAY, "HEY.
I DON'T WANT YOU HERE, AND I'M GONNA DO ANYTHING I CAN TO GET YOU TO LEAVE.
" Glosser: I TRULY BELIEVE ALL OF THE BAD THINGS THAT HAVE HAPPENED TO PEOPLE IN THE BASEMENT -- THE BLACK MASS IS RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL OF IT.
I HAVE ALWAYS BELIEVED IN THE PARANORMAL, BUT DOING WHAT I DO NOW, THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO DOUB THAT THERE ARE SPIRITS AND GHOSTS.
FROM ALL OF MY EXPERIENCES AND THE CATWALK ALL OF THE EVIDENCE THAT WE'VE CAPTURED, THE EVIL IN THE BASEMENT THE OPERA HOUSE IS DEFINITELY ONE OF THE MOST HAUNTED PLACES I'VE EVER BEEN.
Shay: THIS STUFF'S NOT SOMETHING THAT YOU CAN MESS AROUND WITH.
YOU NEED TO PUT UP SOME KIND OF BARRIER BETWEEN YOU AND THE SUPERNATURAL BECAUSE IT CAN FEED OFF NEGATIVITY AND USE THAT AGAINST YOU.
THERE IS ANOTHER WORLD THAT WE DON'T UNDERSTAND, AND I DON'T THINK WE'LL EVER FULLY UNDERSTAND WHAT'S GOING ON UNTIL WE PASS ON TO THE NEXT LIFE OR WHATEVER IS WAITING FOR US AFTER WE DIE.
Guthrie: I HAPPENED TO CATCH THIS PICTURE OF THIS HALF-SKULL-LOOKING FACE, AND AT THE SAME TIME, WE COULD FEEL THE TEMPERATURE OF THE ROOM RAISE ABOUT 20 DEGREES.
Covey: ON THE SECURITY CAMERAS, YOU SEE ORBS FLOATING THROUGH EVERY ROOM IN THE BUILDING.
THE SPIRITS LIKE TO MESS WITH US, AND IT DOES FREAK ME OUT.
THOSE ARE REAL GHOSTS THAT LIVE IN THE BUILDING WHERE WE WORK.
Guthrie: I WASN'T USED TO TAKING SO MANY PICTURES AND CATCHING SO MUCH ACTIVITY IN ONE PLACE.
Covey: WHEN I SAW THE PHOTO, I WAS FREAKED OUT.
THAT'S A REAL GHOST WATCHING US.
Guthrie: MY GHOST STORY BEGAN WHEN I WAS CALLED IN TO INVESTIGATE THE 6th STREET MASSACRE IN AMARILLO, TEXAS.
6th STREET MASSACRE IS A HAUNTED HOUSE FOR HALLOWEEN.
[ EVIL LAUGHTER .]
THE BUILDING WAS ORIGINALLY A MOVIE THEATER BACK IN THE 1920s AND '30s.
AT ONE TIME IT WAS THOUGHT BE -- BUT WE COULDN'T CONFIRM -- SOME KIND OF SATANIC CHURCH.
AND THE CITY FOUND OUT ABOUT I AND SHUT IT DOWN.
THE HOUSE IS SET UP WITH DIFFERENT SCARY SCENES IN EVERY PART OF THE 20,000 SQUARE FOOT BUILDING.
AND YOU CAN HAVE ANYWHERE FROM ONE TO FIVE OR SIX ACTORS IN EVERY SCENE.
WHEN I FIRST WALKED INTO THE BUILDING, I MET SAM, AND HE WAS GENERALLY FREAKED OUT.
AND HE TOLD ME ABOUT SOME OF THE ACTIVITY THAT WAS GOING ON IN THERE.
Covey: I'VE BEEN WORKING AT THE 6th STREET MASSACRE FOR ABOUT FOUR YEARS.
I HAD WORKED FULL TIME AS AN ACTOR, ALSO HELPING OUT WITH SKETCH AND DESIGN, STUFF LIKE THAT.
I TOLD DAN ABOUT THE FIRST TIME I WENT INTO THE BUILDING, IT HAD THAT CREEPY FEELING LIKE MAYBE SOMETHING'S GOING ON HERE.
A FEW TIMES, I'D BE WORKING AND THE LIGHTS WOULD COMPLETELY SHUT OFF.
I'D GO TO THE BREAKER BOX.
THE BREAKER BOX WAS FINE.
I'D GO TO THE LIGHT SWITCH.
THE LIGHT SWITCH WAS FINE.
AND THEN CREEPIER THINGS STARTED HAPPENING -- LIKE, CO-WORKERS BEING ATTACKED, I'D HEAR NOISES.
WE'D BE WORKING, AND THE TEMPERATURE WOULD DROP.
PEOPLE WERE REALLY FREAKING OUT.
Guthrie: AFTER I'D HEARD FROM SAM, I TOLD MY TEAM TO STAY BACK, AND I WENT IN BY MYSELF.
AND JUST A FEW STEPS IN, I WAS JUST OVERWHELMED WITH NOTHING BUT EYES WATCHING ME FROM EVERY DIRECTION IN EVERY ROOM.
I FELT UNCOMFORTABLE.
I DECIDED TO BRING MY TEAM IN.
AND THEN I SET UP CAMERAS IN THE FOUR MOST ACTIVE SPOTS IN THE BUILDING WHERE I FELT THAT WE WOULD CATCH THE MOST EVIDENCE.
SAM WANTED TO JOIN US AND POINT OUT THE PLACES WHERE THINGS HAPPEN.
DURING THE WALK-THROUGH, SAM STARTED MENTIONING HOW HE WAS FEELING UNEASY, THAT HE WAS FEELING A COLD SPOT.
Covey: THAT TEMPERATURE DROP SCARED THE CRAP OUT OF ME.
AND I WAS LIKE, "DAN, SOMETHING'S GOING ON RIGHT HERE NEAR ME.
IT'S COLD.
I'M NOT MAKING THIS UP.
" Guthrie: I DECIDED TO TAKE PICTURES.
AND AT THAT POINT, I CAPTURED A FACE THAT WAS STANDING BEHIND HIM.
Covey: WHEN I SAW THE PHOTO, I WAS FREAKED OUT.
THAT'S A REAL GHOST.
THAT'S NOT A MOVIE.
THAT'S NOT IN ANYTHING MADE UP.
THAT'S REALLY IN OUR BUILDING, WHAT WE WORK AROUND EVERY DAY.
THAT THING IS IN THERE, WATCHING US.
WHEN I LOOK AT THAT PHOTO, IT REALLY DOES CREEP ME OU BECAUSE I KNOW WHEN I'M ALONE IN A ROOM, I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE IN THAT ROOM, 'CAUSE THERE IS A DEMON IN HERE, AND IT IS BAD.
Guthrie: OUT OF ALL THE PLACES IN THE 6th STREET MASSACRE, I WOULD SAY THE CHURCH SCENE IS THE CREEPIEST.
Covey: I THINK THE CHURCH SCENE IS THE MOST ACTIVE PLACE IN THE BUILDING.
THAT'S WHERE THE MOST STUFF HAPPENS TO ME.
SOME OF THE OTHER WORKERS, THAT'S WHERE THEY HAVE COMPLAINTS.
THAT'S WHERE PEOPLE WON'T GO.
Guthrie: SAM WOULD TALK ABOUT CERTAIN THINGS THAT HAPPENED IN THERE.
SO WE HAD SOME OTHER ACTORS JOIN US AND JUST SIT THERE IN THE DARK -- JUST SIT AND LISTEN AND FEEL WHAT HAPPENS.
AND WE HAD OUR NIGHT-VISION CAMERAS ON THIS, AND ONE OF THE ACTRESSES ACTUALLY WAS GETTING HER HAIR MESSED WITH.
AN ORB COMES FLYING OU AND COMES RIGHT AT THE CAMERA.
THEN THE ACTRESS SHAKES HER HEAD BECAUSE SHE FEL SOMETHING TOUCHING HER.
SEEING THAT SENT SHIVERS THROUGH MY BODY BECAUSE I HAVEN'T SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS BEFORE.
Covey: THAT ONE, I THINK, IS A DEMONIC SPIRIT THAT DOESN'T LIKE WOMEN.
I THINK HE WAS MESSING WITH HER.
HE'S NOT SCARED TO SHOW HIMSELF.
I THINK HE THINKS SHE STEPPED ON HIS TURF, AND SHE WASN'T WELCOME THERE.
I KNEW THE BUILDING WAS HAUNTED THEN.
Guthrie: LATER THAT NIGHT, WE ACTUALLY HAD SOMEBODY'S HAIR PULLED.
IT WASN'T JUST A LITTLE NUDGE.
IT WAS A HANDFUL OF HAIR.
AND I HAPPENED TO CATCH THIS PICTURE OF THIS HALF-SKULL-LOOKING FACE.
AND AT THE SAME TIME, WE COULD ACTUALLY FEEL THE TEMPERATURE OF THE ROOM RAISE ABOUT 20 DEGREES.
AND THERE WAS A FOUL ODOR THAT HAPPENED IN THAT ROOM, AND IT MADE EVERYBODY VERY UNEASY.
Covey: AT FIRST, I THOUGHT IT WAS AN ORB, BUT YOU CAN SEE THE EYES, YOU CAN SEE THE NOSE -- YOU CAN SEE THAT IT'S A FACE.
I THINK THAT THE DEMONIC SPIRI WANTED TO TELL US, "THAT'S MY BUILDING, TOO.
" Guthrie: WHEN YOU GET A FOUL ODOR OF SOMETHING DEAD OR A ROTTEN SMELL, IN OUR EXPERIENCES, IT'S SOME TYPE OF DEMONIC ENTITY OR SOMETHING VERY NEGATIVE.
AFTER I REALIZED WHA I WAS LOOKING AT, I WAS SCARED.
THAT'S GREAT EVIDENCE BUT ALSO KIND OF SCARY AT THE SAME TIME BECAUSE NOW YOU GOT TO THINK ABOUT THESE KIDS THAT WORK IN THIS BUILDING.
ARE THEY GONNA BE SAFE? Covey: YEARS AGO, THE BUILDING REALLY WAS A CHURCH, BUT WE DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WENT ON.
WE JUST TOOK THE BUILDING OVER AND DIDN'T ASK QUESTIONS.
WHO KNOWS WHAT HAS HAPPENED IN THAT ROOM, WHY THOSE GHOSTS ARE REALLY ACTIVE IN THERE? Guthrie: OUT OF ALL THE EVIDENCE THAT WE CAUGHT, I WAS AMAZED BY ALL THE ORB ACTIVITY THAT WAS GOING ON IN THAT BUILDING AND ON ALL THE CAMERAS AND AS FREQUENTLY AS IT WAS HAPPENING.
Covey: I WAS REALLY SHOCKED TO SEE ORBS FLOATING THROUGH EVERY ROOM IN THE BUILDING ON EVERY CAMERA.
Guthrie: IN MY OPINION, THIS IS JUST ONE OF THE WAYS THAT THE SPIRITS ARE TRYING TO SHOW THEMSELVES TO ME.
Covey: I DON'T LIKE LOOKING AT THE EVIDENCE DAN CAPTURED.
IT REALLY CREEPS ME OUT.
GHOSTS ARE REAL.
THERE WAS ONE RIGHT THERE BEHIND ME -- IF NOT BEHIND ME, ON TOP OF ME.
THAT SCARED ME TO DEATH.
SOME MORNINGS, I WAKE UP AND DON'T WANT TO GO TO WORK.
Guthrie: I WASN'T USED TO TAKING SO MANY PICTURES AND CATCHING SO MUCH ACTIVITY IN ONE PLACE.
I'M USED TO MAYBE CATCHING ONE OR TWO IN A LOCATION, BUT IN THIS PLACE, WE FOUND 21.
IN THIS BUILDING, I'M ALWAYS CONCERNED ABOUT ACTORS BEING ATTACKED OR INJURED IN ANY FORM.
AND THIS IS ONE OF THE REASONS WHY I CONTINUE TO GO BACK TO THIS DAY -- JUST TO MONITOR WHAT'S GOING ON IN THERE.
AND IF WE HAVE TO REMOVE A SPIRIT, WE WILL DO WHATEVER IT TAKES TO GET IT OUT.
Covey: THE GHOSTS THAT ARE IN THE BUILDING -- I KNOW THEY'RE THERE.
IT FREAKS ME OUT, BUT AT THE SAME TIME, I KNOW THEY'RE NOT GONNA LEAVE.
THAT'S THEIR HOME BEFORE IT WAS OUR HAUNTED HOUSE, AND THEY MESS WITH US BECAUSE WE MESS WITH THEM.
WE BUILD WALLS.
THEY MOVE OUR TOOLS AROUND AND KNOCK STUFF DOWN.
THAT'S JUST HOW IT IS.
THAT'S HOW IT'S GONNA BE UNTIL WE MOVE.
I CAN'T BE MAD ABOUT IT, BU I CAN BE FREAKED OUT ABOUT IT.
Newell: WE CAUGHT A SHADOW FIGURE THAT RAN PAST THE FRON OF THE CAMERA.
I WAS PETRIFIED.
I'VE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT.
THERE WAS SOMETHING UP THERE WITH US, AND IT WASN'T HUMAN.
Knickerbocker: THE ROOM GOT ICE-COLD.
Newell: IT GAVE ME THIS FEELING OF DREAD.
Knickerbocker: I THOUGHT, "I NEED TO GET OUT OF HERE.
" MY GHOST STORY BEGAN WHEN I HAD MY FIRST PARANORMAL EXPERIENCE AT THE KNICKERBOCKER.
WHEN WE PURCHASED THE KNICKERBOCKER, WE DIDN'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THE BUILDING HAVING ANY KIND OF HISTORY BESIDES BEING A HOTEL THAT WAS BUILT IN 1882.
AND MY HUSBAND AND I DECIDED TO COMPLETE RESTORATION OF THE SECOND FLOOR AND THE THIRD FLOOR.
THAT'S WHEN ACTIVITY STARTED TO HAPPEN ON A DAILY OCCURRENCE.
ONE OF THE FIRST THINGS THAT HAPPENED -- I WAS WORKING IN THE KITCHEN WHEN I HAD A VERY UNUSUAL EXPERIENCE.
I WAS WALKING TOWARDS THE SINK AREA, AND WHEN I LOOKED UP AT THE DOOR, THERE WAS A SHADOW PERSON STANDING, LOOKING AT ME IN THE DOORWAY.
I WAS SHOCKED.
I THOUGHT, "I NEED TO GET OUT OF HERE.
" SO I DID JUST THAT, AND I WENT ON HOME.
ONE NIGHT, I WAS CLOSING UP.
IT WAS LIKE 4:00 IN THE MORNING.
I'M SITTING IN MY OFFICE, AND I HEAR PEOPLE COMING UP THE STEPS.
I THOUGHT, "OH, MY GOD.
"MY PARTNER DIDN'T LOCK THE DOORS DOWNSTAIRS.
SOMEBODY'S COMING UP THROUGH THE BUILDING.
" I WAS EXPECTING TO BE ROBBED.
SO, I'M TRYING TO THINK, "HOW AM I GONNA GET OUT? "AND I'LL JUST LEAVE EVERYTHING.
IF THEY WANT SOMETHING, THEY'LL TAKE IT, BUT I WANT TO GO TO SAFETY.
" SO, AS I HEAR THE MOVEMEN GO THROUGH AND I HEAR I KIND OF GETTING AT A DISTANCE, I TOOK OFF, WENT DOWN THE STEPS, RAN OUT, WENT HOME.
THE NEXT MORNING, WHEN I CAME IN, EXPECTING THAT THE MONEY WOULD BE GONE AND I HAD BEEN ROBBED, THERE WASN'T ANY DOORS DISTURBED AND ALL THE MONEY WAS THERE, AND THERE WASN' ANYTHING MISSING.
AND AS IT DAWNED ON ME THAT THERE WAS NOTHING MISSING, I THOUGHT, "WELL, IF IT WASN' PEOPLE IN THE BUILDING, MAYBE IT WAS A GHOST.
" SO, MY FAMILY DECIDED TO HAVE A FUNCTION AT OUR BUILDING.
MY DAD AND I WENT TO THE THIRD FLOOR, AND MY DAD ENTERED THE CENTER BEDROOM.
AND HE WAS IN THERE FOR A LITTLE WHILE.
WHEN HE CAME BACK OUT, HE TOLD ME THAT THE ROOM GOT ICE-COLD AND THAT AT THAT TIME, HE ACTUALLY EXPERIENCED HIS FATHER AND HIS UNCLE'S PRESENCE IN THE ROOM WITH HIM.
MY FATHER LOVED COMING OUT TO THE BUILDING, AND HE CAME OUT SEVERAL TIMES AFTER THAT.
HE WAS DIAGNOSED WITH TERMINAL CANCER IN 2008.
AFTER MY FATHER WAS DIAGNOSED, HIS TRIPS OUT TO THE BUILDING -- THEY WERE OVER.
SO, HE CONTACTED ME AND ASKED ME TO COME IN.
AND ON THE SATURDAY THAT WE SAT AND TALKED, HE SHARED WITH ME A VERY IMPORTANT THING.
HE SAID, "NOW, PEG, WHEN I PASS, I WANT YOU TO KNOW, "LIKE WE'RE SPEAKING RIGHT NOW -- I WANT YOU TO LOOK UP, AND I WILL SPEAK TO YOU.
" AND I KISSED HIM, AND I SAID, "I LOVE YOU, DADDY, AND I'LL SEE YOU AT THE KNICK.
" AND HE SAYS, "I LOVE YOU, DAUGHTER, AND I'LL SEE YOU AT THE KNICK.
" THAT FRIDAY, MY FATHER PASSED AWAY.
IN OUR BUILDING, I HAVE SET UP LIVE WEBCAMS.
I FELT THAT I WANTED TO SHARE WITH PEOPLE ALL OVER THE WORLD THE VISIONS AND STUFF THAT HAD BEEN GOING ON.
THEY'RE LIVE 24/7, IN REAL TIME, WITH SOUND.
I WAS IN THE BASEMEN CHANGING OUT A WEBCAM ONE NIGHT.
I RECEIVED AN E-MAIL FROM ONE OF THE PEOPLE IN OUR CHAT ROOM, AND THEY SAID, "PEG, WERE YOU IN THE BUILDING ALONE?" I E-MAILED BACK, "YES, I WAS.
" AND HE E-MAILED ME BACK, AND HE SAID, "WHILE YOU WERE CHANGING OU THE WEBCAM, "THERE WAS A MAN, HE WAS BEHIND YOU, AND HE WAS LOOKING AT YOU, AND HE WAS SMILING.
" I WAS SURPRISED 'CAUSE I DIDN'T SEE ANYBODY OR KNOW ANYBODY WAS THERE.
AND I DON'T RECORD THE WEBCAMS.
SO I MADE, LIKE, A POLICE LINEUP.
SO I PUT PICTURES TOGETHER OF ALL KINDS OF DIFFERENT PEOPLE.
WITHIN MINUTES OF HIM RECEIVING MY E-MAIL, HE E-MAILS ME BACK AND PICKED MY FATHER'S PICTURE OUT OF THOSE PICTURES.
I FELT THAT WAS A CONFIRMATION THAT SOMEBODY SAW MY DAD AT THE KNICK.
BECAUSE OF THE LIVE WEBCAMS THAT WE HAVE, IT HAS OPENED UP AN OPPORTUNITY FOR PEOPLE OF CURIOSITY TO COME IN WITH THEIR EQUIPMENT, RECORD AND SEE IF THERE'S ANYTHING THERE THEY COULD CAPTURE, AND THERE WAS ONE GROUP THAT CAME IN.
Newell: I LIKE TO DO RESEARCH AT HAUNTED LOCATIONS, AND A COUPLE OF MY FRIENDS AND I CAME ACROSS THE KNICKERBOCKER ONLINE.
WE CALLED PEG TO SEE IF WE COULD COME IN AND CHECK IT OUT.
WHEN I FIRST WALKED INTO THE KNICK, I JUST FELT VERY OVERWHELMED, KIND OF AS IF SOMETHING WAS SURROUNDING ME, CHECKING ME OUT.
IT WAS JUST A VERY UNEASY FEELING.
I COULD TELL RIGHT AWAY THAT THERE WAS A LOT OF ACTIVITY IN THE HOUSE.
PEG PROCEEDED TO SHOW US AROUND A LITTLE BIT.
AND WHEN WE WALKED PAST THE KITCHEN, THAT'S WHERE WE HAD OUR FIRST EXPERIENCE.
WE SAW A SHADOW THAT RAN PAS THE BACK OF THE KITCHEN.
I WAS PETRIFIED.
I'VE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT.
AFTER THAT, WE DECIDED TO GO UPSTAIRS.
PEG EXPLAINED THAT THE THIRD FLOOR IS WHERE THE MOST ACTIVITY HAS BEEN RECORDED.
WE DECIDED TO SET UP A STATIONARY CAMERA, POINTED TOWARDS THE STAIRWELL.
WE ALSO HAD OUR THERMAL-IMAGING CAMERA FACED AT A DIFFERENT ANGLE DOWN THE HALL.
ON THE STATIONARY CAMERA THAT WE HAD POINTED TOWARDS THE STAIRS, WE CAUGHT A SHADOW FIGURE THAT RAN PAST THE FRON OF THE CAMERA.
IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S MOVING IN AND OUT OF EACH DOOR.
IT WAS SO CREEPY I HAVE GOOSE BUMPS JUST TALKING ABOUT IT.
IT ALSO VALIDATES SOME OF THE STORIES THAT PEG HAS TOLD US.
Knickerbocker: I WAS KIND OF SHOCKED BECAUSE THEY GOT AN IMAGE OF A SHADOW KIND OF LOOK, GO BACK, AND IT GOES DOWN THE STEPS.
Newell: ONE OF THE FRIENDS THAT I WAS WITH ALSO CAUGHT A SHADOW ON HIS STILL CAMERA, WHICH LOOKED VERY SIMILAR TO THE SHADOW THAT WE CAUGH ON THE STATIONARY CAMERA.
IN THE PHOTOGRAPH, YOU CAN SEE THE SHADOW STANDING IN THE HALLWAY.
IT LOOKS LIKE HE IS MOVING TOWARDS ONE OF THE BEDROOMS, AND IT LOOKS TO BE THE SHAPE OF A MAN.
Knickerbocker: YOU CAN TELL IT'S MALE.
WHATEVER WAS BACK THERE AND WALKING WAS REVEALING ITSELF TO THESE INVESTIGATORS.
THAT'S THE SHADOW PEOPLE I BELIEVE THAT I'VE BEEN SEEING.
Newell: ALSO ON THE THIRD FLOOR, ONE OF OUR VIDEO CAMERAS CAUGHT AN EVP -- A VERY STERN "GET OUT!" AFTER HEARING THE "GET OUT" EVP, IT GAVE ME THIS FEELING OF DREAD.
JUST THE SOUND IN ITS VOICE SCARED ME.
Knickerbocker: WHEN THEY PLAYED ME AN EVP, I HAPPENED TO REALIZE THAT WHAT ONE PERSON MAY HEAR -- MAYBE LIKE "GET OUT" BUT WHAT I HEAR SOMETIMES IS MY FATHER WOULD USE THE TERM "GET OUT.
" SO, SOMETIMES, IF ONE PERSON HEARS IT, THEY THINK IT'S SOME KIND OF AN EVIL "GET OUT," AND MY FATHER MAY HAVE BEEN SAYING [Chuckling.]
"GET OUT.
" Newell: THIS EXPERIENCE HAS MADE ME REALIZE THAT JUST BECAUSE THERE'S SOMETHING THERE THAT I CAN'T SEE OR EXPLAIN, IT DOESN'T MEAN THAT IT'S EVIL.
Knickerbocker: I BELIEVE MY FATHER IS TAKING FULL ADVANTAGE OF ALL THESE PEOPLE THAT COME WITH THEIR EQUIPMEN TO COMMUNICATE WITH ME AS HE SAID HE WOULD, AND HE IS SEEING ME AND BEING WITH ME AT THE KNICKERBOCKER.
Woolever: ONE OF MY FRIENDS SAID, "WILL YOU COME OUT AND TALK TO US?" Elzey: WE WERE BEING SURROUNDED BY SOMETHING VERY DARK, VERY BAD.
Woolever: I WAS DEFINITELY MORE SCARED THAN I'VE EVER BEEN.
Elzey: I GET THIS REALLY HO SENSATION ON MY NECK.
I HAD JUST BEEN PHYSICALLY TOUCHED BY A SPIRIT.
THAT WAS THE TOP SCARIEST THINGS THAT HAVE EVER HAPPENED TO ME IN MY ENTIRE LIFE.
Woolever: MY GHOST STORY BEGAN WHEN I VISITED THE CALVIN CENTER IN YOUNGSTOWN, OHIO.
THE CALVIN CENTER IS A YOUTH CENTER IN YOUNGSTOWN, OHIO.
IT WAS A PART OF A CHURCH THAT'S RIGHT NEXT DOOR.
IT WAS ONE OF THE FIRST SCHOOLS IN YOUNGSTOWN.
Elzey: ME AND DAVID MET.
WE WERE BOTH WORKING RETAIL AT THE TIME.
ONE DAY, HE HAPPENED TO FIND OU THAT I WAS INTERESTED IN THE PARANORMAL, AND HE SHARED AN INTEREST, TOO.
SO WE KIND OF GOT TOGETHER AND FORMED A GROUP TO GO AROUND AND INVESTIGATE.
Woolever: WE WANTED TO GO TO THE CALVIN CENTER BECAUSE A COUPLE OF FRIENDS OF OURS HAD SAID, "THIS PLACE IS OFF THE CHARTS.
WE WANT YOU TO CHECK IT OUT.
" Elzey: WE HAD HEARD A LO ABOUT THE HAUNTINGS THAT HAPPENED THERE, AND WE DECIDED TO GO AND SEE WHAT WOULD HAPPEN TO US.
Woolever: THE CALVIN CENTER IS AN OLD, VICTORIAN-LOOKING, THREE-STORY BUILDING, LIKE YOUR OLD, CLASSIC SCHOOLHOUSES.
Elzey: IT'S ALL WINDOWS IN THE FRONT.
AS MANY WINDOWS AS IT HAS, YOU ALWAYS FEEL LIKE YOU'RE BEING WATCHED.
[ WAILING .]
YOU KNOW, JUST THE BIG, MEDIEVAL-LOOKING DOOR IN THE FRONT.
IT'S A PRETTY CREEPY PLACE.
Woolever: WHEN WE WENT INTO THE CALVIN CENTER, IT WAS DEFINITELY A DIFFERENT FEELING THAN WE'VE HAD ON ANY OTHER TRIP.
YOU KIND OF GE AN OVERWHELMING FEELING.
THERE WERE A LOT OF AREAS WHERE I WOULD GET GOOSE BUMPS -- THAT STATIC-ELECTRICITY KIND OF FEEL.
Elzey: IT KIND OF GIVES YOU KIND OF A VERTIGO AT FIRST.
Woolever: THERE WAS A LOT OF HEAVY FEELINGS, ESPECIALLY ON MY CHEST.
Elzey: THE FIRST THING WE DID WAS GO UPSTAIRS.
Woolever: AS SOON AS WE WEN UP THERE, IT SOUNDED LIKE SOMETHING HAD RAN ACROSS ONE OF THE SIDES OF THE ROOM.
Elzey: IT BASICALLY SOUNDS LIKE SOMETHING IS GOING IN CIRCLES AROUND US.
WE HEAR IT OVER HERE.
WE GO OVER THERE.
WE HEAR IT TO THE RIGHT.
IT'S GOING LEFT.
IT WAS ALMOST LIKE A GAME OF HIDE-AND-SEEK -- PROBABLY THE CREEPIES GAME OF HIDE-AND-SEEK YOU COULD EVER PLAY.
Woolever: MY SISTER HAD TAKEN SIMULTANEOUS PHOTOS TO TRY TO SEE IF ANYTHING WOULD SHOW UP.
Elzey: WE GO SOME STRANGE LIGHT ANOMALIES THAT REALLY CAN'T BE EXPLAINED.
[ CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS .]
THEY'RE VERY PRONOUNCED.
Woolever: WHEN I SAW THE PICTURES OF THE ORBS, IT WAS COMPLETE AMAZEMEN THAT SOMETHING WAS ACTUALLY TRYING TO MAKE ITSELF KNOWN.
Elzey: IT'S A REALLY CREEPY FEELING TO KNOW THA THERE'S SOMETHING WATCHING YOU AND JUST THE SIMPLE FACT THA IT'S BASICALLY PLAYING WITH YOU.
Woolever: AFTER THAT, I WAS IN THE BASEMEN BY MYSELF WITH A DIGITAL VOICE RECORDER.
COME OVER HERE AND TALK TO ME! COME ON! I DO LIKE TO PROVOKE A LITTLE BIT TO TRY TO GET SOME RESPONSE.
I GUESS I SAID A FEW THINGS OUT OF LINE.
MANIFEST YOURSELF! TALK! Elzey: DAVID DECIDES TO GO BACK UP TO THE FRONT OF THE BASEMENT, AND HE'S ACTUALLY SETTING UP A VIDEO CAMERA.
AND WHILE SETTING UP THE VIDEO CAMERA Woolever: SOMETHING PEBBLE-SIZED CAME FROM ACROSS THE ROOM AND STRUCK ME RIGHT ABOVE THE EYE.
Elzey: THE LOOK ON HIS FACE -- IT'S JUST UNDESCRIBABLE.
Woolever: I WAS SHOCKED BECAUSE I HAD NEVER BEEN ATTACKED TO THAT EXTENT.
Elzey: WE WERE IN THE BASEMENT STILL, AND I GET THIS REALLY HO SENSATION ON MY NECK.
Woolever: WE WHIPPED AROUND TO SHINE THE LIGHT ON HIS NECK TO SEE IF ANYTHING HAD HAPPENED.
Elzey: AND THEY NOTICED THA THERE'S THREE LINES ON MY NECK.
Woolever: AS TIME WENT ON, THEY BEGAN TO GET MORE RED.
THEY RAISED.
I SHOULD HAVE PROBABLY NO PROVOKED AS I DID.
Elzey: WHEN I SAW THOSE THREE SCRATCHES ON MY NECK AND REALIZED THAT I HAD JUST BEEN PHYSICALLY TOUCHED BY A SPIRIT OF SOME SORT, I HAD THIS FEELING OF PURE HELPLESSNESS BECAUSE I REALIZED THAT THERE'S SOMETHING OUT THERE THAT I CAN'T SEE, I CAN'T FIGHT, BUT IT CAN TOUCH ME.
IT WAS THE MOST TERRIFYING THING THAT I CAN THINK OF.
Woolever: AFTER THAT, WE BEGAN USING THE GHOST BOX, OR THE SPIRIT BOX, IN THE BASEMENT.
AND AT ONE POINT, IT CAME ACROSS.
IT SAID, "ELZEY," WHICH IS JASON'S LAST NAME.
HE HAD NOT SAID HIS LAST NAME AT ALL TO ANYONE IN THE ROOM, TO ANYONE THAT DAY.
Elzey: IT'S ONE OF THOSE THINGS WHEN SOMETHING GETS THAT PERSONAL IT SCARES YOU, BUT I MAKES YOU MAD AT THE SAME TIME.
Woolever: AND SHORTLY AFTER THAT, ONE OF MY FRIENDS SAID, "WILL YOU COME OU AND TALK TO US?" Elzey: AND WE GET AN ELECTRONIC VOICE PHENOMENON SAYING, "I'M NOT GOING TO DO THAT.
" WHEN YOU HEAR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, IT'S JUST THE CHILLS THAT YOU GET, KNOWING THAT IT WAS THERE WITH YOU.
YOU COULDN'T SEE IT, BUT IT'S TRYING TO TALK TO YOU.
Woolever: AFTER THAT, SOMETHING CAME THROUGH THAT SAID, "DEMON.
" Elzey: IT ALMOST FEL LIKE WE WERE BEING SURROUNDED BY SOMETHING VERY DARK, VERY BAD.
Woolever: I WAS DEFINITELY MORE SCARED THAN I'VE EVER BEEN.
I THINK WE WERE DEALING WITH SOMETHING VERY DARK, MALEVOLENT, AND IT DIDN'T LIKE THAT WE WERE THERE.
SHORTLY AFTER THAT, I FELT JUST A VERY HEAVY FEELING ON MY CHEST AGAIN.
MOVED DOWN INTO MY STOMACH, AND IT FELT AS IF SOMETHING WAS ACTUALLY TRYING TO MAKE ME ILL.
I WAS DRY-HEAVING, ABOUT TO VOMIT.
Elzey: THIS IS SOMETHING THAT I CAN DO NOTHING ABOUT.
I CAN'T HELP HIM IN ANY WAY.
AND IT'S THE MOST HELPLESS FEELING YOU WILL EVER HAVE.
Woolever: I KNEW THA WHATEVER HAD ATTACKED ME BEFORE WAS TRYING TO, IF NOT FINISH THE JOB, MAKE ME LEAVE AND NOT COME BACK.
Elzey: AFTER DAVID GOT ATTACKED BY THE SPIRIT, I KNEW WE HAD TO GET OU OF THAT BUILDING.
Woolever: BEFORE I WEN TO THE CALVIN CENTER, I HAD NEVER EXPERIENCED ANYTHING THAT DARK OR THAT INTELLIGENT.
THE SPIRITS IN THE BASEMEN OF THE CALVIN CENTER, I BELIEVE, CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS.
Elzey: I THINK IT'S AFFECTED ME IN MANY WAYS.
IT'S TAUGHT ME THAT THERE ARE THINGS OUT THERE THAT YOU PROBABLY SHOULDN'T MESS WITH, AND IF YOU DO, THEY'RE GONNA MESS BACK.
Woolever: I DO WANT TO GO BACK TO THE CALVIN CENTER.
I WANT TO FINISH WHAT I STARTED.
I WANT TO KNOW FOR SURE WHY IT'S HAPPENING AND WHY IT HAPPENED TO ME.
Elzey: VISITING THE CALVIN CENTER WAS DEFINITELY THE TOP SCARIEST THINGS THAT HAVE EVER HAPPENED TO ME IN MY ENTIRE LIFE.
Martin: EMMA WAS STILL THERE.
THIS TIME, SHE WAS DANCING FOR US, PLAYING IN FRONT OF THE CAMERA.
[ LAUGHS .]
YOU CANNOT TELL ME THAT WHAT WE SAW WAS NOT A SPIRIT OF SOME SORT.
I'D BE A LIAR IF I SAID I WASN' A LITTLE SCARED, 'CAUSE I WAS.
Davis: ALL OF A SUDDEN, THIS LIGHT SHOT OU AND TAGGED MY SON ON THE ARM AND THEN FLEW AWAY.
Martin: THERE WAS SOMETHING DANCING IN FRONT OF OUR CAMERA.
IT WASN'T A BALL OF DUST.
IT WAS TWO ORBS FLOATING BACK AND FORTH.
I DIDN'T WANT TO GO BACK UP THERE ALONE.
THE ENERGY FELT NEGATIVE.
Davis: MY GHOST STORY BEGAN WHEN I WENT TO THE EXCHANGE HOTEL IN GORDONSVILLE, VIRGINIA.
IN TERMS OF THE HISTORY, I WAS ALWAYS INTERESTED IN THE EXCHANGE HOTEL 'CAUSE IT BECAME A RECEIVING HOSPITAL FOR WOUNDED SOLDIERS DURING THE CIVIL WAR.
I HAD DECIDED TO GO TO THE HOTEL, AND MY FRIEND TODD CAME WITH ME.
TODD AND I WENT TO SCHOOL TOGETHER, AND WE'VE ALWAYS BEEN INTERESTED IN THE PARANORMAL.
Martin: THE EXCHANGE HOTEL IS -- IT'S RICH IN TRAUMA.
THERE WAS SLAVERY THERE.
THERE'S ACTUALLY A TREE OUTSIDE THAT STILL STANDS WHERE THEY WOULD JUST HANG PEOPLE IN SUCCESSION ALL THE WAY DOWN.
THE LIMB WAS BIG ENOUGH TO HOLD FOUR OR FIVE HANGINGS AT A TIME.
PLUS, THERE WAS A SURGICAL UNI ON THE THIRD FLOOR OF THE HOTEL.
THE TOOLS THEY USED -- IT WAS BARBARIC.
SO THERE'S GOT TO BE NEGATIVE ENERGY IN THAT PLACE.
[ SCREAMING .]
[ TRAIN BELL DINGS .]
Davis: THERE WAS THREE DIFFEREN BUILDINGS TO INVESTIGATE, AND ALL THREE OF THE BUILDINGS LOOKED HAUNTED.
Martin: DODIE AND I SPLIT UP 'CAUSE IT'S A BIG PLACE.
THERE'S SO MUCH TO DO THERE.
I LIKE GOING OFF BY MYSELF.
I LIKE DOING THIS ALONE.
SO I WENT OFF TO THE TRAIN DEPO BECAUSE THERE WERE PEOPLE FIGHTING FOR OUR COUNTRY WHO ACTUALLY CAME BACK AND DIED THERE.
I THINK THE SPIRITS OF THE SOLDIERS ARE STILL THERE WAITING.
AND THAT'S WHAT I WANTED TO SEE.
I WANTED TO BRING THEM OUT.
I TRY TO TALK TO THE SPIRITS LIKE THEY'RE PEOPLE BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT THEY WERE.
SO, I HOLLERED DOWN TO THE OTHER END OF THE TRAIN DEPOT, "ANYTHING I CAN DO TO HELP YOU? ARE YOU WAITING FOR SOMEBODY TO GET OFF THE TRAIN?" AND I GOT THE SPIRIT OF WHA I THINK WAS A LITTLE CHILD RESPOND, "YES.
" AND AS SOON AS I GOT THAT, I HEARD THE GUITAR BEHIND ME STRUM.
[ GUITAR STRUMS .]
DIDN'T EVEN KNOW A GUITAR WAS IN THERE.
IT WAS LEANING AGAINST THE WALL DIRECTLY BEHIND ME.
I'D BE A LIAR IF I SAID I WASN' A LITTLE SCARED, 'CAUSE I WAS.
Davis: FIRST, BECAUSE I MIGHT BE THE MOST ACTIVE PLACE, I WANTED TO GO INSIDE OF THE HOTEL.
WALKING AROUND, I FELT A PRESENCE.
I HAD THIS CREEPY FEELING, AND MY SKIN GOT TINGLY, AND YOU COULD JUST TELL THERE'S SOMETHING THERE.
I WAS SCARED.
SO I GOT OUT OF THAT HOUSE.
I WENT TO THE SLAVE KITCHEN.
WE ALWAYS DO THE HISTORY BEFORE WE GO TO INVESTIGATE.
SO, ONE OF THE STORIES IS A STORY OF A SPIRIT -- AND HIS NAME WAS MR.
RICHARDS -- WHO WAS A SURGEON.
AND HE, APPARENTLY, KILLED HIS WIFE -- CUT HER UP IN THE BATHROOM.
[ SCREAMING .]
I HAD BEEN TRYING TO GET HIM TO INTERACT WITH ME.
AFTER SOME PROVOKING, HE TOUCHED THE INSIDE OF MY LEG.
I WAS SCARED TO DEATH.
MY INSTINCT WAS TO RUN IMMEDIATELY DOWN THE STAIRS AND GET OUT OF THAT HOUSE.
AFTER THE EXPERIENCE IN THE SLAVE KITCHEN, TODD AND I WENT TO THE THIRD FLOOR OF THE EXCHANGE HOTEL, AND MY SON, DUSTY, WAS WITH US.
THERE IS A LOCAL LEGEND OF A LITTLE GIRL NAMED EMMA, AND SHE HAD A NANNY.
AND APPARENTLY, THE NANNY DIED BEFORE HER.
THEN THE LITTLE GIRL DIED, BUT THE NANNY WON'T LET HER PASS OVER.
I THINK THE SPIRIT OF EMMA STILL HAUNTS THE HOTEL.
SO WE WERE TRYING TO GE THE LITTLE GIRL TO COME OUT AND PLAY.
[ LAUGHING .]
Martin: SHE ONLY RESIDES ON THE THIRD FLOOR, AND HER SPIRIT HAS RUN OF THE WHOLE HOTEL, THEY SAY.
BUT SHE LIKES TO STAY ON THE THIRD FLOOR.
Davis: I HAD MY NIGHT-VISION CAMERA ROLLING.
TODD WAS ACTUALLY TRYING TO GE SOME EVPs.
AND MY SON, DUSTY, WAS PUTTING SOME TOYS OUT ON THE FLOOR AS TRIGGER OBJECTS TO TRY TO DRAW THE SPIRIT OF EMMA TO COME OU AND INTERACT WITH US.
THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN, THIS LIGHT SHOT OU AND TAGGED HIM ON THE ARM, AND THEN IT FLEW AWAY.
[ GASPS .]
OH! [ LAUGHS .]
Martin: EMMA CREPT UP IN FRONT OF ME, WENT IN FRONT OF DODIE AND STRAIGHT OVER TO DUSTY, AND REAL SLOWLY TOUCHED HIS SHIRT, PICKED IT, AND THEN TOOK OFF RUNNING.
THE LITTLE GIRL DECIDED TO PLAY TAG.
Davis: I THINK SHE CAME OU BECAUSE WE'D BEEN TRYING TO GET HER TO PLAY TAG WITH US.
Martin: THAT'S WHAT WE SET OUT TO DO.
WE WANTED TANGIBLE EVIDENCE.
I'M A SKEPTIC.
YOU'VE GOT TO SHOW IT TO ME.
THAT WAS THE MOST EXTRAORDINARY THING I'VE SEEN.
WE CAUGHT THE LITTLE CHILD ONE TIME.
WE WANTED TO SEE HER SPIRI A SECOND TIME.
WE WANTED TO SEE IF SHE WAS STILL THERE OR MAYBE IF IT WAS SOMEBODY ELSE.
Davis: I SET THE CAMERA UP RIGHT IN THE SAME DIRECTION.
SO MAYBE SOMETHING WOULD HAPPEN AGAIN.
I THINK A COUPLE HOURS PROBABLY WENT ON, AND WE DIDN'T GET ANYTHING.
I GOT UP AND STARTED WALKING AROUND, AND I JUST HAPPENED TO TURN MY CAMERA TO THE LEFT, AND THAT'S WHEN I SEEN THESE TWO LITTLE ANOMALIES.
THEY CAME OUT OF THE BEDROOM, AND THEY WERE, LIKE, JUS INTERTWINING WITH EACH OTHER.
IT JUST REMINDED ME OF, LIKE, LITTLE KIDS PLAYING.
Martin: EMMA WAS STILL THERE.
THIS TIME, SHE WAS DANCING FOR US, PLAYING IN FRONT OF THE CAMERA.
IT WASN'T A BALL OF DUST.
IT WAS TWO ORBS FLOATING BACK AND FORTH TOGETHER IN FRONT OF THE CAMERA.
YOU CANNOT TELL ME THAT WHAT WE SAW WAS NOT A SPIRIT OF SOME SORT.
[ LAUGHING .]
THERE WAS SOMETHING DANCING IN FRONT OF OUR CAMERA.
THEN SHE JUST WALKED ON OFF.
AFTER THIS SECOND VIDEO, WHERE WE CAPTURED HER SPIRI GOING IN AND OU [Chuckling.]
NOT ONLY HAD SHE HAD ENOUGH, I HAD HAD ENOUGH.
THERE'S NO SENSE PUSHING IT.
I BEGAN TO FEEL LIKE, "OKAY, WE'RE IN HER SPACE.
" SO WE DECIDED TO LEAVE.
Davis: AS A MOTHER OF THREE CHILDREN, IT MAKES ME VERY SAD TO KNOW THAT THE SPIRIT OF EMMA IS TRAPPED ON THE THIRD FLOOR OF THIS HOTEL.
Martin: THIS LITTLE GIRL'S SPIRIT, EMMA, HAS CHANGED MY WHOLE PERSPECTIVE ON THE PARANORMAL.
I STARTED AS A SKEPTIC, AND IT TOOK A LITTLE SPIRI OF A 6-YEAR-OLD CHILD TO PROVE TO ME THAT THEY'RE HERE.
AFTER THAT INVESTIGATION, I'M NOT A SKEPTIC AT ALL.
I DO NOW BELIEVE THAT THERE ARE SPIRITS.
I DO BELIEVE THAT THERE IS ANGELS THAT WALK AMONG US.
I ALSO BELIEVE THERE'S DEMONS THAT WALK AMONG US.
Davis: AFTER SPENDING TIME AT THE EXCHANGE HOTEL AND GETTING TOUCHED ON THE LEG, CAPTURING THE SPIRIT TAGGING MY SON, AND SEEING THE TWO ANOMALIES PLAYING TOGETHER, I DEFINITELY KNOW THAT THERE IS SPIRITS OUT THERE.
[ LAUGHING .]
Shay: IT'S PISSED THAT WE'RE INVADING ITS SPACE, AND IT'S TRYING TO SAY, "GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE.
" Covey: THAT'S A REAL GHOST.
THAT'S NOT A MOVIE.
THAT'S REALLY IN OUR BUILDING, WATCHING US.
Guthrie: SEEING THA SENT SHIVERS THROUGH MY BODY, 'CAUSE I HAVEN'T SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS BEFORE.
Knickerbocker: WHEN I LOOKED UP AT THE DOOR, THERE WAS A SHADOW PERSON, STANDING, LOOKING AT ME.
Newell: THERE WAS SOMETHING UP THERE WITH US, AND IT WASN'T HUMAN.
I WAS TERRIFIED.
Elzey: HE HAD THREE LARGE SCRATCHES ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF HIS FACE.
Woolever: SOMETHING WAS ACTUALLY TRYING TO MAKE ITSELF KNOWN.
Martin: YOU CANNOT TELL ME THAT WHAT WE SAW WAS NOT A SPIRIT OF SOME SORT.
Davis: MY INSTINCT WAS TO RUN IMMEDIATELY DOWN THE STAIRS AND GET OUT OF THAT HOUSE.
Glosser: IT FEELS LIKE THE HAIRS ARE JUST PULLING OUT OF YOUR ARM.
Shay: I GOT THE CRAP SCARED OUT OF ME.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS.
WHATEVER'S DOWN THERE MEANS BUSINESS.
Glosser: HE HAD THESE VOICES IN HIS HEAD TELLING HIM TO KILL EVERYBODY IN THE BASEMENT.
MY GHOST STORY BEGAN WHEN I VISITED THE TWIN CITY OPERA HOUSE IN McCONNELSVILLE, OHIO.
I'VE BEEN FASCINATED WITH THE PARANORMAL EVER SINCE I WAS A CHILD.
I BECAME A POLICE OFFICER, AND WHEN I RETIRED FROM THAT, I JUMPED INTO THE PARANORMAL FIELD.
A FRIEND OF MINE SUGGESTED THAT WE GO TO THE TWIN CITY OPERA HOUSE.
AND I REMEMBER IT AS A KID.
IT WAS KIND OF A SPOOKY-LOOKING PLACE.
SINCE THAT TIME, THERE'S BEEN STRANGE ELECTRICAL OCCURRENCES -- THE LIGHTS TURNING ON AND OFF BY THEMSELVES, ALL KINDS OF THINGS.
Shay: THE FIRST TIME I ACTUALLY HEARD ABOUT THE TWIN CITY OPERA HOUSE WAS THROUGH A FRIEND -- ERIC.
I'VE ALWAYS BEEN INVOLVED IN THE PARANORMAL.
I GO INTO A PLACE SKEPTICAL, AND I TRY TO TAKE THAT APPROACH, YOU KNOW, TRY TO FIGURE THINGS OUT FOR MYSELF -- "WHAT COULD BE CAUSING THIS OR THAT?" IT REALLY DOES HELP GOING INTO A PLACE THAT IS SUPPOSED TO BE HAUNTED.
Glosser: WHEN YOU WALK INTO THE OPERA HOUSE, IT'S LIKE GOING BACK IN TIME.
IN 1892, THE OPERA HOUSE OFFICIALLY OPENED.
IT WAS THE FIRST BUILDING IN McCONNELSVILLE LIT BY ELECTRICITY.
OPENING NIGHT, IT WAS A FULL HOUSE, 850 PEOPLE, AND THE ELECTRICITY FAILED.
[ SCREAMS .]
Shay: YOU GET THAT WEIRD FEELING THAT SOMETHING IS WATCHING YOU AS SOON AS YOU WALK IN THERE.
Glosser: THE FIRST NIGHT WE WERE THERE, WE HEARD GROWLING NOISES WITH OUR OWN EARS.
Shay: THERE WAS FOOTSTEPS, PHANTOM FOOTSTEPS ON THE STAIRS.
Glosser: WE HAD WALKED INTO THE AUDITORIUM.
I HAD THE CAMCORDER.
ALL THE LIGHTS WERE OUT.
IT WAS PITCH-BLACK, AND THE NEXT THING YOU KNEW, THE LIGHTS JUST EXPLODED ON AND OFF.
IT SCARED THE [BLEEP.]
OUT OF US BECAUSE NO ONE HAD ACCESS TO THE LIGHTS.
THERE WAS ONLY ONE PLACE THA THEY COULD BE TURNED ON AND OFF, AND WE WERE JUST COMING FROM THAT AREA.
Shay: IT HAD HAPPENED, I GUESS, A COUPLE OTHER TIMES IN THE PAST HISTORY OF THE OPERA HOUSE.
THE HOUSE LIGHTS JUST CAME ON FOR NO APPARENT REASON.
I HAD NO EXPLANATION FOR IT, AND WATCHING THE VIDEO, I HAD NO IDEA OF WHAT COULD HAVE CAUSED THAT.
Glosser: I BELIEVE THAT WAS THE SPIRITS LETTING US KNOW THAT THEY WERE THERE AND THAT WAS THEIR BUILDING.
YOU STILL HERE, ROBERT? WE WERE INVESTIGATING THE OPERA HOUSE PROBABLY FOR A YEAR BEFORE WE DISCOVERED ROBERT LOWERY, WHICH WE CALL "RED WINE" ROBERT.
Shay: YOU STILL HERE? Glosser: HE'S HERE.
WE WERE ABLE TO CAPTURE AN EVP FROM HIM THAT SAYS, "I'VE GOT RED WINE.
" WE THOUGHT, "HOLY [BLEEP.]
THERE'S SOMEONE UP THERE.
HE WILL COUNT FOR US USING AN EMF METER, ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELD READER.
WE ASKED HIM HOW MANY SPIRITS WERE IN THE OPERA HOUSE.
HE MADE THE LIGHT BLINK 14 TIMES.
IT'S ALMOST LIKE HE TRIES TO TALK THROUGH THIS THING.
WE HAD HIM DROP THE TEMPERATURE LIKE 15 DEGREES ON COMMAND.
HE WILL COMMUNICATE WITH ME EVERY TIME THAT I'M THERE.
HE CLAIMS TO HAVE BEEN A STAGEHAND THERE RIGHT ABOU THE TURN OF THE CENTURY.
I BELIEVE THA HE LOVED HIS JOB SO MUCH, HE JUST DECIDED THAT'S WHERE HE WANTED TO STAY.
Shay: ERIC AND I WERE ACTUALLY INVESTIGATING THE CATWALK AREA IT'S A LITTLE CHILLY RIGHT THERE.
-Glosser: MM-HMM.
-Shay: 66 DEGREES.
WHEN WE STARTED HAVING SOME WEIRD TEMPERATURE READINGS AND, YOU KNOW, SOME STRANGE NOISES.
AND I ACTUALLY WAS TAKING PICTURES OF ERIC, AND THIS WEIRD BLUE MIST, LIKE, APPEARED BEHIND HIM AT THE EXACT TIME HE SAID HE WAS HAVING GOOSE BUMPS AND TINGLY FEELINGS.
I CAN'T EXPLAIN WHAT THESE BLUE LIGHTS WERE.
I MEAN, THEY WEREN'T THE TYPICAL ORBS YOU SEE IN PICTURES.
THIS WAS LIKE A LONG, STRETCHED BLUE MIST.
Glosser: IN MY OPINION, THESE PICTURES ARE OF ROBER OR OF ANOTHER SPIRI THAT HAUNTS THE OPERA HOUSE.
THERE IS SOMETHING VERY EVIL AND SINISTER IN THE BASEMENT.
Shay: THERE'S THE REGULAR BASEMEN WHERE THE GREEN ROOMS ARE, WHERE THE ACTORS AND ACTRESSES WOULD CHANGE IN BETWEEN SETS.
AND THEN THERE'S THE SUBBASEMENT, WHERE FURNACES AND STUFF LIKE THAT WERE KEPT.
WE HAVE DUBBED IT "THE BLACK HOLE" BECAUSE IT'S PITCH-BLACK, AND THERE'S ONLY LIGH DOWN IN THERE.
IT IS PRETTY CREEPY.
I'VE EXPERIENCED SOME PRETTY MENACING THINGS IN THE SUBBASEMENT.
WE'VE EVEN SEEN SHADOW FIGURES DARTING BACK AND FORTH.
Glosser: WE HAVE ENCOUNTERED A BLACK MASS THAT IS A VERY EVIL ENTITY.
WHEN IT IS THERE, YOU CAN FEEL IT.
IT'S DRAINING.
IT'LL TAKE YOUR ENERGY FROM YOU.
IT'LL MAKE YOU NAUSEOUS.
IT'LL MAKE YOU WEAK AND DISORIENTED.
THAT'S HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES THERE.
Shay: WE'VE HAD A LOT OF WOMEN THAT HAVE HAD STRANGE EXPERIENCES OF BEING GROPED AND, YOU KNOW, BEING SCRATCHED AND BEING SMACKED AND HAVING THEIR HAIR PULLED.
Glosser: WE HAD TAKEN SOME FRIENDS INTO THE BASEMENT.
WE WERE GIVING THEM A TOUR THROUGH THE OPERA HOUSE, AND ONE OF THE FRIENDS FELT SOMETHING, AND SHE PULLED HER COLLAR DOWN.
THERE WAS THREE DISTINC CLAW MARKS ON HER NECK.
WE'VE HAD TO ESCORT PEOPLE OU OF THE BASEMENT -- GROWN ADULTS CRYING.
ONE WAS A GROWN MAN.
WE WERE THINKING, "WELL, WHAT'S WRONG?" HE SAID THA HE HAD THESE VOICES IN HIS HEAD TELLING HIM TO KILL EVERYBODY IN THE BASEMENT.
ONE EVENING, WE LEFT FOUR DVR CAMERAS RUNNING IN THE BASEMENT.
NO ONE THERE.
WELL, A FEW DAYS AFTER, WHEN WE REVIEWED THE FOOTAGE, WE DISCOVERED ONE OF THE CAMERAS BLACKED OUT, TURNED WHITE, PURPLE, AND WE THOUGHT, "WELL, MAYBE THERE WAS A MALFUNCTION WITH THE CAMERA.
" Shay: SOME OF THESE CAMERAS, LIKE, WHEN SOMETHING GETS IN FRONT OF IT, THEY'RE INFRARED AND THEY WHITE COMPLETELY OUT.
AND THIS THING WENT COMPLETELY BLACK AND THEN HAD THIS WEIRD PURPLE HAZE.
AND THEN ANOTHER CAMERA PICKED UP THAT CAMERA BEING BLOCKED OU BY SOMETHING THAT LOOKED LIKE I CAME OUT OF THE WALL AND STUCK HIS HAND IN FRONT OF THE CAMERA AND THEN JUST JERKED IT BACK REAL QUICK.
Glosser: YOU CAN SEE A BLACK-BLOB-TYPE MASS.
PART OF IT BROKE FREE AND COVERED THE LENS OF THE CAMERA, BLACKING IT OUT.
WHEN I SEEN IT FOR THE FIRS TIME, I SAID, "HOLY [BLEEP.]
IT JUST CONFIRMS THAT THERE IS SOMETHING IN THE BASEMENT.
DOZENS OF PEOPLE HAVE WITNESSED I WITH THEIR OWN EYES AND FELT IT, BUT WE FINALLY HAD VIDEO OF IT.
Shay: THE WAY THAT ALL THE CAMERA ANGLES WERE SET UP, YOU COULD TELL NO ONE WAS DOWN THERE.
AND IT WAS JUST LIKE, "WHERE DID THIS THING COME FROM?" YOU KNOW, I'M TRYING TO THINK IN MY HEAD, WHAT KIND OF GLITCH COULD HAVE HAPPENED THAT WOULD HAVE CAUSED THIS? AND THEN MY MIND WAS JUST BLOWN AWAY, LIKE, "OKAY.
"I HAVE PERSONALLY SEEN THIS THING DOWN IN THIS BASEMENT.
"WE CAUGHT IT ON CAMERA.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS.
AND IT'S GONE LIKE THAT.
" Glosser: WE HAD ANOTHER PIECE OF VIDEO FOOTAGE THAT ACTUALLY SHOWED THE MASS MOVING.
YOU CAN OBVIOUSLY TELL THAT IT'S NOT A PERSON'S SHADOW.
IT JUST KIND OF FLOATS.
IT CAN APPEAR AND DISAPPEAR AND THEN APPEAR AGAIN.
Shay: LOOKING AT THE EVIDENCE MYSELF, I JUST WAS KIND OF AWESTRUCK AT IT, TOO, LIKE, "WOW," YOU KNOW, "THERE IT IS AGAIN.
" IT'S NOT REALLY CARING WHO SEES IT ANYMORE.
I THINK THIS BLACK MASS IS PRESENTING ITSELF MORE BECAUSE IT'S PISSED THAT SO MUCH STUFF IS HAPPENING AT THE OPERA HOUSE.
LIKE ANYTHING ELSE, I THINK MAYBE WE'RE IN ITS TERRITORY, WE'RE INVADING ITS SPACE, AND IT'S TRYING TO SAY, "HEY.
I DON'T WANT YOU HERE, AND I'M GONNA DO ANYTHING I CAN TO GET YOU TO LEAVE.
" Glosser: I TRULY BELIEVE ALL OF THE BAD THINGS THAT HAVE HAPPENED TO PEOPLE IN THE BASEMENT -- THE BLACK MASS IS RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL OF IT.
I HAVE ALWAYS BELIEVED IN THE PARANORMAL, BUT DOING WHAT I DO NOW, THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO DOUB THAT THERE ARE SPIRITS AND GHOSTS.
FROM ALL OF MY EXPERIENCES AND THE CATWALK ALL OF THE EVIDENCE THAT WE'VE CAPTURED, THE EVIL IN THE BASEMENT THE OPERA HOUSE IS DEFINITELY ONE OF THE MOST HAUNTED PLACES I'VE EVER BEEN.
Shay: THIS STUFF'S NOT SOMETHING THAT YOU CAN MESS AROUND WITH.
YOU NEED TO PUT UP SOME KIND OF BARRIER BETWEEN YOU AND THE SUPERNATURAL BECAUSE IT CAN FEED OFF NEGATIVITY AND USE THAT AGAINST YOU.
THERE IS ANOTHER WORLD THAT WE DON'T UNDERSTAND, AND I DON'T THINK WE'LL EVER FULLY UNDERSTAND WHAT'S GOING ON UNTIL WE PASS ON TO THE NEXT LIFE OR WHATEVER IS WAITING FOR US AFTER WE DIE.
Guthrie: I HAPPENED TO CATCH THIS PICTURE OF THIS HALF-SKULL-LOOKING FACE, AND AT THE SAME TIME, WE COULD FEEL THE TEMPERATURE OF THE ROOM RAISE ABOUT 20 DEGREES.
Covey: ON THE SECURITY CAMERAS, YOU SEE ORBS FLOATING THROUGH EVERY ROOM IN THE BUILDING.
THE SPIRITS LIKE TO MESS WITH US, AND IT DOES FREAK ME OUT.
THOSE ARE REAL GHOSTS THAT LIVE IN THE BUILDING WHERE WE WORK.
Guthrie: I WASN'T USED TO TAKING SO MANY PICTURES AND CATCHING SO MUCH ACTIVITY IN ONE PLACE.
Covey: WHEN I SAW THE PHOTO, I WAS FREAKED OUT.
THAT'S A REAL GHOST WATCHING US.
Guthrie: MY GHOST STORY BEGAN WHEN I WAS CALLED IN TO INVESTIGATE THE 6th STREET MASSACRE IN AMARILLO, TEXAS.
6th STREET MASSACRE IS A HAUNTED HOUSE FOR HALLOWEEN.
[ EVIL LAUGHTER .]
THE BUILDING WAS ORIGINALLY A MOVIE THEATER BACK IN THE 1920s AND '30s.
AT ONE TIME IT WAS THOUGHT BE -- BUT WE COULDN'T CONFIRM -- SOME KIND OF SATANIC CHURCH.
AND THE CITY FOUND OUT ABOUT I AND SHUT IT DOWN.
THE HOUSE IS SET UP WITH DIFFERENT SCARY SCENES IN EVERY PART OF THE 20,000 SQUARE FOOT BUILDING.
AND YOU CAN HAVE ANYWHERE FROM ONE TO FIVE OR SIX ACTORS IN EVERY SCENE.
WHEN I FIRST WALKED INTO THE BUILDING, I MET SAM, AND HE WAS GENERALLY FREAKED OUT.
AND HE TOLD ME ABOUT SOME OF THE ACTIVITY THAT WAS GOING ON IN THERE.
Covey: I'VE BEEN WORKING AT THE 6th STREET MASSACRE FOR ABOUT FOUR YEARS.
I HAD WORKED FULL TIME AS AN ACTOR, ALSO HELPING OUT WITH SKETCH AND DESIGN, STUFF LIKE THAT.
I TOLD DAN ABOUT THE FIRST TIME I WENT INTO THE BUILDING, IT HAD THAT CREEPY FEELING LIKE MAYBE SOMETHING'S GOING ON HERE.
A FEW TIMES, I'D BE WORKING AND THE LIGHTS WOULD COMPLETELY SHUT OFF.
I'D GO TO THE BREAKER BOX.
THE BREAKER BOX WAS FINE.
I'D GO TO THE LIGHT SWITCH.
THE LIGHT SWITCH WAS FINE.
AND THEN CREEPIER THINGS STARTED HAPPENING -- LIKE, CO-WORKERS BEING ATTACKED, I'D HEAR NOISES.
WE'D BE WORKING, AND THE TEMPERATURE WOULD DROP.
PEOPLE WERE REALLY FREAKING OUT.
Guthrie: AFTER I'D HEARD FROM SAM, I TOLD MY TEAM TO STAY BACK, AND I WENT IN BY MYSELF.
AND JUST A FEW STEPS IN, I WAS JUST OVERWHELMED WITH NOTHING BUT EYES WATCHING ME FROM EVERY DIRECTION IN EVERY ROOM.
I FELT UNCOMFORTABLE.
I DECIDED TO BRING MY TEAM IN.
AND THEN I SET UP CAMERAS IN THE FOUR MOST ACTIVE SPOTS IN THE BUILDING WHERE I FELT THAT WE WOULD CATCH THE MOST EVIDENCE.
SAM WANTED TO JOIN US AND POINT OUT THE PLACES WHERE THINGS HAPPEN.
DURING THE WALK-THROUGH, SAM STARTED MENTIONING HOW HE WAS FEELING UNEASY, THAT HE WAS FEELING A COLD SPOT.
Covey: THAT TEMPERATURE DROP SCARED THE CRAP OUT OF ME.
AND I WAS LIKE, "DAN, SOMETHING'S GOING ON RIGHT HERE NEAR ME.
IT'S COLD.
I'M NOT MAKING THIS UP.
" Guthrie: I DECIDED TO TAKE PICTURES.
AND AT THAT POINT, I CAPTURED A FACE THAT WAS STANDING BEHIND HIM.
Covey: WHEN I SAW THE PHOTO, I WAS FREAKED OUT.
THAT'S A REAL GHOST.
THAT'S NOT A MOVIE.
THAT'S NOT IN ANYTHING MADE UP.
THAT'S REALLY IN OUR BUILDING, WHAT WE WORK AROUND EVERY DAY.
THAT THING IS IN THERE, WATCHING US.
WHEN I LOOK AT THAT PHOTO, IT REALLY DOES CREEP ME OU BECAUSE I KNOW WHEN I'M ALONE IN A ROOM, I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE IN THAT ROOM, 'CAUSE THERE IS A DEMON IN HERE, AND IT IS BAD.
Guthrie: OUT OF ALL THE PLACES IN THE 6th STREET MASSACRE, I WOULD SAY THE CHURCH SCENE IS THE CREEPIEST.
Covey: I THINK THE CHURCH SCENE IS THE MOST ACTIVE PLACE IN THE BUILDING.
THAT'S WHERE THE MOST STUFF HAPPENS TO ME.
SOME OF THE OTHER WORKERS, THAT'S WHERE THEY HAVE COMPLAINTS.
THAT'S WHERE PEOPLE WON'T GO.
Guthrie: SAM WOULD TALK ABOUT CERTAIN THINGS THAT HAPPENED IN THERE.
SO WE HAD SOME OTHER ACTORS JOIN US AND JUST SIT THERE IN THE DARK -- JUST SIT AND LISTEN AND FEEL WHAT HAPPENS.
AND WE HAD OUR NIGHT-VISION CAMERAS ON THIS, AND ONE OF THE ACTRESSES ACTUALLY WAS GETTING HER HAIR MESSED WITH.
AN ORB COMES FLYING OU AND COMES RIGHT AT THE CAMERA.
THEN THE ACTRESS SHAKES HER HEAD BECAUSE SHE FEL SOMETHING TOUCHING HER.
SEEING THAT SENT SHIVERS THROUGH MY BODY BECAUSE I HAVEN'T SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS BEFORE.
Covey: THAT ONE, I THINK, IS A DEMONIC SPIRIT THAT DOESN'T LIKE WOMEN.
I THINK HE WAS MESSING WITH HER.
HE'S NOT SCARED TO SHOW HIMSELF.
I THINK HE THINKS SHE STEPPED ON HIS TURF, AND SHE WASN'T WELCOME THERE.
I KNEW THE BUILDING WAS HAUNTED THEN.
Guthrie: LATER THAT NIGHT, WE ACTUALLY HAD SOMEBODY'S HAIR PULLED.
IT WASN'T JUST A LITTLE NUDGE.
IT WAS A HANDFUL OF HAIR.
AND I HAPPENED TO CATCH THIS PICTURE OF THIS HALF-SKULL-LOOKING FACE.
AND AT THE SAME TIME, WE COULD ACTUALLY FEEL THE TEMPERATURE OF THE ROOM RAISE ABOUT 20 DEGREES.
AND THERE WAS A FOUL ODOR THAT HAPPENED IN THAT ROOM, AND IT MADE EVERYBODY VERY UNEASY.
Covey: AT FIRST, I THOUGHT IT WAS AN ORB, BUT YOU CAN SEE THE EYES, YOU CAN SEE THE NOSE -- YOU CAN SEE THAT IT'S A FACE.
I THINK THAT THE DEMONIC SPIRI WANTED TO TELL US, "THAT'S MY BUILDING, TOO.
" Guthrie: WHEN YOU GET A FOUL ODOR OF SOMETHING DEAD OR A ROTTEN SMELL, IN OUR EXPERIENCES, IT'S SOME TYPE OF DEMONIC ENTITY OR SOMETHING VERY NEGATIVE.
AFTER I REALIZED WHA I WAS LOOKING AT, I WAS SCARED.
THAT'S GREAT EVIDENCE BUT ALSO KIND OF SCARY AT THE SAME TIME BECAUSE NOW YOU GOT TO THINK ABOUT THESE KIDS THAT WORK IN THIS BUILDING.
ARE THEY GONNA BE SAFE? Covey: YEARS AGO, THE BUILDING REALLY WAS A CHURCH, BUT WE DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WENT ON.
WE JUST TOOK THE BUILDING OVER AND DIDN'T ASK QUESTIONS.
WHO KNOWS WHAT HAS HAPPENED IN THAT ROOM, WHY THOSE GHOSTS ARE REALLY ACTIVE IN THERE? Guthrie: OUT OF ALL THE EVIDENCE THAT WE CAUGHT, I WAS AMAZED BY ALL THE ORB ACTIVITY THAT WAS GOING ON IN THAT BUILDING AND ON ALL THE CAMERAS AND AS FREQUENTLY AS IT WAS HAPPENING.
Covey: I WAS REALLY SHOCKED TO SEE ORBS FLOATING THROUGH EVERY ROOM IN THE BUILDING ON EVERY CAMERA.
Guthrie: IN MY OPINION, THIS IS JUST ONE OF THE WAYS THAT THE SPIRITS ARE TRYING TO SHOW THEMSELVES TO ME.
Covey: I DON'T LIKE LOOKING AT THE EVIDENCE DAN CAPTURED.
IT REALLY CREEPS ME OUT.
GHOSTS ARE REAL.
THERE WAS ONE RIGHT THERE BEHIND ME -- IF NOT BEHIND ME, ON TOP OF ME.
THAT SCARED ME TO DEATH.
SOME MORNINGS, I WAKE UP AND DON'T WANT TO GO TO WORK.
Guthrie: I WASN'T USED TO TAKING SO MANY PICTURES AND CATCHING SO MUCH ACTIVITY IN ONE PLACE.
I'M USED TO MAYBE CATCHING ONE OR TWO IN A LOCATION, BUT IN THIS PLACE, WE FOUND 21.
IN THIS BUILDING, I'M ALWAYS CONCERNED ABOUT ACTORS BEING ATTACKED OR INJURED IN ANY FORM.
AND THIS IS ONE OF THE REASONS WHY I CONTINUE TO GO BACK TO THIS DAY -- JUST TO MONITOR WHAT'S GOING ON IN THERE.
AND IF WE HAVE TO REMOVE A SPIRIT, WE WILL DO WHATEVER IT TAKES TO GET IT OUT.
Covey: THE GHOSTS THAT ARE IN THE BUILDING -- I KNOW THEY'RE THERE.
IT FREAKS ME OUT, BUT AT THE SAME TIME, I KNOW THEY'RE NOT GONNA LEAVE.
THAT'S THEIR HOME BEFORE IT WAS OUR HAUNTED HOUSE, AND THEY MESS WITH US BECAUSE WE MESS WITH THEM.
WE BUILD WALLS.
THEY MOVE OUR TOOLS AROUND AND KNOCK STUFF DOWN.
THAT'S JUST HOW IT IS.
THAT'S HOW IT'S GONNA BE UNTIL WE MOVE.
I CAN'T BE MAD ABOUT IT, BU I CAN BE FREAKED OUT ABOUT IT.
Newell: WE CAUGHT A SHADOW FIGURE THAT RAN PAST THE FRON OF THE CAMERA.
I WAS PETRIFIED.
I'VE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT.
THERE WAS SOMETHING UP THERE WITH US, AND IT WASN'T HUMAN.
Knickerbocker: THE ROOM GOT ICE-COLD.
Newell: IT GAVE ME THIS FEELING OF DREAD.
Knickerbocker: I THOUGHT, "I NEED TO GET OUT OF HERE.
" MY GHOST STORY BEGAN WHEN I HAD MY FIRST PARANORMAL EXPERIENCE AT THE KNICKERBOCKER.
WHEN WE PURCHASED THE KNICKERBOCKER, WE DIDN'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THE BUILDING HAVING ANY KIND OF HISTORY BESIDES BEING A HOTEL THAT WAS BUILT IN 1882.
AND MY HUSBAND AND I DECIDED TO COMPLETE RESTORATION OF THE SECOND FLOOR AND THE THIRD FLOOR.
THAT'S WHEN ACTIVITY STARTED TO HAPPEN ON A DAILY OCCURRENCE.
ONE OF THE FIRST THINGS THAT HAPPENED -- I WAS WORKING IN THE KITCHEN WHEN I HAD A VERY UNUSUAL EXPERIENCE.
I WAS WALKING TOWARDS THE SINK AREA, AND WHEN I LOOKED UP AT THE DOOR, THERE WAS A SHADOW PERSON STANDING, LOOKING AT ME IN THE DOORWAY.
I WAS SHOCKED.
I THOUGHT, "I NEED TO GET OUT OF HERE.
" SO I DID JUST THAT, AND I WENT ON HOME.
ONE NIGHT, I WAS CLOSING UP.
IT WAS LIKE 4:00 IN THE MORNING.
I'M SITTING IN MY OFFICE, AND I HEAR PEOPLE COMING UP THE STEPS.
I THOUGHT, "OH, MY GOD.
"MY PARTNER DIDN'T LOCK THE DOORS DOWNSTAIRS.
SOMEBODY'S COMING UP THROUGH THE BUILDING.
" I WAS EXPECTING TO BE ROBBED.
SO, I'M TRYING TO THINK, "HOW AM I GONNA GET OUT? "AND I'LL JUST LEAVE EVERYTHING.
IF THEY WANT SOMETHING, THEY'LL TAKE IT, BUT I WANT TO GO TO SAFETY.
" SO, AS I HEAR THE MOVEMEN GO THROUGH AND I HEAR I KIND OF GETTING AT A DISTANCE, I TOOK OFF, WENT DOWN THE STEPS, RAN OUT, WENT HOME.
THE NEXT MORNING, WHEN I CAME IN, EXPECTING THAT THE MONEY WOULD BE GONE AND I HAD BEEN ROBBED, THERE WASN'T ANY DOORS DISTURBED AND ALL THE MONEY WAS THERE, AND THERE WASN' ANYTHING MISSING.
AND AS IT DAWNED ON ME THAT THERE WAS NOTHING MISSING, I THOUGHT, "WELL, IF IT WASN' PEOPLE IN THE BUILDING, MAYBE IT WAS A GHOST.
" SO, MY FAMILY DECIDED TO HAVE A FUNCTION AT OUR BUILDING.
MY DAD AND I WENT TO THE THIRD FLOOR, AND MY DAD ENTERED THE CENTER BEDROOM.
AND HE WAS IN THERE FOR A LITTLE WHILE.
WHEN HE CAME BACK OUT, HE TOLD ME THAT THE ROOM GOT ICE-COLD AND THAT AT THAT TIME, HE ACTUALLY EXPERIENCED HIS FATHER AND HIS UNCLE'S PRESENCE IN THE ROOM WITH HIM.
MY FATHER LOVED COMING OUT TO THE BUILDING, AND HE CAME OUT SEVERAL TIMES AFTER THAT.
HE WAS DIAGNOSED WITH TERMINAL CANCER IN 2008.
AFTER MY FATHER WAS DIAGNOSED, HIS TRIPS OUT TO THE BUILDING -- THEY WERE OVER.
SO, HE CONTACTED ME AND ASKED ME TO COME IN.
AND ON THE SATURDAY THAT WE SAT AND TALKED, HE SHARED WITH ME A VERY IMPORTANT THING.
HE SAID, "NOW, PEG, WHEN I PASS, I WANT YOU TO KNOW, "LIKE WE'RE SPEAKING RIGHT NOW -- I WANT YOU TO LOOK UP, AND I WILL SPEAK TO YOU.
" AND I KISSED HIM, AND I SAID, "I LOVE YOU, DADDY, AND I'LL SEE YOU AT THE KNICK.
" AND HE SAYS, "I LOVE YOU, DAUGHTER, AND I'LL SEE YOU AT THE KNICK.
" THAT FRIDAY, MY FATHER PASSED AWAY.
IN OUR BUILDING, I HAVE SET UP LIVE WEBCAMS.
I FELT THAT I WANTED TO SHARE WITH PEOPLE ALL OVER THE WORLD THE VISIONS AND STUFF THAT HAD BEEN GOING ON.
THEY'RE LIVE 24/7, IN REAL TIME, WITH SOUND.
I WAS IN THE BASEMEN CHANGING OUT A WEBCAM ONE NIGHT.
I RECEIVED AN E-MAIL FROM ONE OF THE PEOPLE IN OUR CHAT ROOM, AND THEY SAID, "PEG, WERE YOU IN THE BUILDING ALONE?" I E-MAILED BACK, "YES, I WAS.
" AND HE E-MAILED ME BACK, AND HE SAID, "WHILE YOU WERE CHANGING OU THE WEBCAM, "THERE WAS A MAN, HE WAS BEHIND YOU, AND HE WAS LOOKING AT YOU, AND HE WAS SMILING.
" I WAS SURPRISED 'CAUSE I DIDN'T SEE ANYBODY OR KNOW ANYBODY WAS THERE.
AND I DON'T RECORD THE WEBCAMS.
SO I MADE, LIKE, A POLICE LINEUP.
SO I PUT PICTURES TOGETHER OF ALL KINDS OF DIFFERENT PEOPLE.
WITHIN MINUTES OF HIM RECEIVING MY E-MAIL, HE E-MAILS ME BACK AND PICKED MY FATHER'S PICTURE OUT OF THOSE PICTURES.
I FELT THAT WAS A CONFIRMATION THAT SOMEBODY SAW MY DAD AT THE KNICK.
BECAUSE OF THE LIVE WEBCAMS THAT WE HAVE, IT HAS OPENED UP AN OPPORTUNITY FOR PEOPLE OF CURIOSITY TO COME IN WITH THEIR EQUIPMENT, RECORD AND SEE IF THERE'S ANYTHING THERE THEY COULD CAPTURE, AND THERE WAS ONE GROUP THAT CAME IN.
Newell: I LIKE TO DO RESEARCH AT HAUNTED LOCATIONS, AND A COUPLE OF MY FRIENDS AND I CAME ACROSS THE KNICKERBOCKER ONLINE.
WE CALLED PEG TO SEE IF WE COULD COME IN AND CHECK IT OUT.
WHEN I FIRST WALKED INTO THE KNICK, I JUST FELT VERY OVERWHELMED, KIND OF AS IF SOMETHING WAS SURROUNDING ME, CHECKING ME OUT.
IT WAS JUST A VERY UNEASY FEELING.
I COULD TELL RIGHT AWAY THAT THERE WAS A LOT OF ACTIVITY IN THE HOUSE.
PEG PROCEEDED TO SHOW US AROUND A LITTLE BIT.
AND WHEN WE WALKED PAST THE KITCHEN, THAT'S WHERE WE HAD OUR FIRST EXPERIENCE.
WE SAW A SHADOW THAT RAN PAS THE BACK OF THE KITCHEN.
I WAS PETRIFIED.
I'VE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT.
AFTER THAT, WE DECIDED TO GO UPSTAIRS.
PEG EXPLAINED THAT THE THIRD FLOOR IS WHERE THE MOST ACTIVITY HAS BEEN RECORDED.
WE DECIDED TO SET UP A STATIONARY CAMERA, POINTED TOWARDS THE STAIRWELL.
WE ALSO HAD OUR THERMAL-IMAGING CAMERA FACED AT A DIFFERENT ANGLE DOWN THE HALL.
ON THE STATIONARY CAMERA THAT WE HAD POINTED TOWARDS THE STAIRS, WE CAUGHT A SHADOW FIGURE THAT RAN PAST THE FRON OF THE CAMERA.
IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S MOVING IN AND OUT OF EACH DOOR.
IT WAS SO CREEPY I HAVE GOOSE BUMPS JUST TALKING ABOUT IT.
IT ALSO VALIDATES SOME OF THE STORIES THAT PEG HAS TOLD US.
Knickerbocker: I WAS KIND OF SHOCKED BECAUSE THEY GOT AN IMAGE OF A SHADOW KIND OF LOOK, GO BACK, AND IT GOES DOWN THE STEPS.
Newell: ONE OF THE FRIENDS THAT I WAS WITH ALSO CAUGHT A SHADOW ON HIS STILL CAMERA, WHICH LOOKED VERY SIMILAR TO THE SHADOW THAT WE CAUGH ON THE STATIONARY CAMERA.
IN THE PHOTOGRAPH, YOU CAN SEE THE SHADOW STANDING IN THE HALLWAY.
IT LOOKS LIKE HE IS MOVING TOWARDS ONE OF THE BEDROOMS, AND IT LOOKS TO BE THE SHAPE OF A MAN.
Knickerbocker: YOU CAN TELL IT'S MALE.
WHATEVER WAS BACK THERE AND WALKING WAS REVEALING ITSELF TO THESE INVESTIGATORS.
THAT'S THE SHADOW PEOPLE I BELIEVE THAT I'VE BEEN SEEING.
Newell: ALSO ON THE THIRD FLOOR, ONE OF OUR VIDEO CAMERAS CAUGHT AN EVP -- A VERY STERN "GET OUT!" AFTER HEARING THE "GET OUT" EVP, IT GAVE ME THIS FEELING OF DREAD.
JUST THE SOUND IN ITS VOICE SCARED ME.
Knickerbocker: WHEN THEY PLAYED ME AN EVP, I HAPPENED TO REALIZE THAT WHAT ONE PERSON MAY HEAR -- MAYBE LIKE "GET OUT" BUT WHAT I HEAR SOMETIMES IS MY FATHER WOULD USE THE TERM "GET OUT.
" SO, SOMETIMES, IF ONE PERSON HEARS IT, THEY THINK IT'S SOME KIND OF AN EVIL "GET OUT," AND MY FATHER MAY HAVE BEEN SAYING [Chuckling.]
"GET OUT.
" Newell: THIS EXPERIENCE HAS MADE ME REALIZE THAT JUST BECAUSE THERE'S SOMETHING THERE THAT I CAN'T SEE OR EXPLAIN, IT DOESN'T MEAN THAT IT'S EVIL.
Knickerbocker: I BELIEVE MY FATHER IS TAKING FULL ADVANTAGE OF ALL THESE PEOPLE THAT COME WITH THEIR EQUIPMEN TO COMMUNICATE WITH ME AS HE SAID HE WOULD, AND HE IS SEEING ME AND BEING WITH ME AT THE KNICKERBOCKER.
Woolever: ONE OF MY FRIENDS SAID, "WILL YOU COME OUT AND TALK TO US?" Elzey: WE WERE BEING SURROUNDED BY SOMETHING VERY DARK, VERY BAD.
Woolever: I WAS DEFINITELY MORE SCARED THAN I'VE EVER BEEN.
Elzey: I GET THIS REALLY HO SENSATION ON MY NECK.
I HAD JUST BEEN PHYSICALLY TOUCHED BY A SPIRIT.
THAT WAS THE TOP SCARIEST THINGS THAT HAVE EVER HAPPENED TO ME IN MY ENTIRE LIFE.
Woolever: MY GHOST STORY BEGAN WHEN I VISITED THE CALVIN CENTER IN YOUNGSTOWN, OHIO.
THE CALVIN CENTER IS A YOUTH CENTER IN YOUNGSTOWN, OHIO.
IT WAS A PART OF A CHURCH THAT'S RIGHT NEXT DOOR.
IT WAS ONE OF THE FIRST SCHOOLS IN YOUNGSTOWN.
Elzey: ME AND DAVID MET.
WE WERE BOTH WORKING RETAIL AT THE TIME.
ONE DAY, HE HAPPENED TO FIND OU THAT I WAS INTERESTED IN THE PARANORMAL, AND HE SHARED AN INTEREST, TOO.
SO WE KIND OF GOT TOGETHER AND FORMED A GROUP TO GO AROUND AND INVESTIGATE.
Woolever: WE WANTED TO GO TO THE CALVIN CENTER BECAUSE A COUPLE OF FRIENDS OF OURS HAD SAID, "THIS PLACE IS OFF THE CHARTS.
WE WANT YOU TO CHECK IT OUT.
" Elzey: WE HAD HEARD A LO ABOUT THE HAUNTINGS THAT HAPPENED THERE, AND WE DECIDED TO GO AND SEE WHAT WOULD HAPPEN TO US.
Woolever: THE CALVIN CENTER IS AN OLD, VICTORIAN-LOOKING, THREE-STORY BUILDING, LIKE YOUR OLD, CLASSIC SCHOOLHOUSES.
Elzey: IT'S ALL WINDOWS IN THE FRONT.
AS MANY WINDOWS AS IT HAS, YOU ALWAYS FEEL LIKE YOU'RE BEING WATCHED.
[ WAILING .]
YOU KNOW, JUST THE BIG, MEDIEVAL-LOOKING DOOR IN THE FRONT.
IT'S A PRETTY CREEPY PLACE.
Woolever: WHEN WE WENT INTO THE CALVIN CENTER, IT WAS DEFINITELY A DIFFERENT FEELING THAN WE'VE HAD ON ANY OTHER TRIP.
YOU KIND OF GE AN OVERWHELMING FEELING.
THERE WERE A LOT OF AREAS WHERE I WOULD GET GOOSE BUMPS -- THAT STATIC-ELECTRICITY KIND OF FEEL.
Elzey: IT KIND OF GIVES YOU KIND OF A VERTIGO AT FIRST.
Woolever: THERE WAS A LOT OF HEAVY FEELINGS, ESPECIALLY ON MY CHEST.
Elzey: THE FIRST THING WE DID WAS GO UPSTAIRS.
Woolever: AS SOON AS WE WEN UP THERE, IT SOUNDED LIKE SOMETHING HAD RAN ACROSS ONE OF THE SIDES OF THE ROOM.
Elzey: IT BASICALLY SOUNDS LIKE SOMETHING IS GOING IN CIRCLES AROUND US.
WE HEAR IT OVER HERE.
WE GO OVER THERE.
WE HEAR IT TO THE RIGHT.
IT'S GOING LEFT.
IT WAS ALMOST LIKE A GAME OF HIDE-AND-SEEK -- PROBABLY THE CREEPIES GAME OF HIDE-AND-SEEK YOU COULD EVER PLAY.
Woolever: MY SISTER HAD TAKEN SIMULTANEOUS PHOTOS TO TRY TO SEE IF ANYTHING WOULD SHOW UP.
Elzey: WE GO SOME STRANGE LIGHT ANOMALIES THAT REALLY CAN'T BE EXPLAINED.
[ CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS .]
THEY'RE VERY PRONOUNCED.
Woolever: WHEN I SAW THE PICTURES OF THE ORBS, IT WAS COMPLETE AMAZEMEN THAT SOMETHING WAS ACTUALLY TRYING TO MAKE ITSELF KNOWN.
Elzey: IT'S A REALLY CREEPY FEELING TO KNOW THA THERE'S SOMETHING WATCHING YOU AND JUST THE SIMPLE FACT THA IT'S BASICALLY PLAYING WITH YOU.
Woolever: AFTER THAT, I WAS IN THE BASEMEN BY MYSELF WITH A DIGITAL VOICE RECORDER.
COME OVER HERE AND TALK TO ME! COME ON! I DO LIKE TO PROVOKE A LITTLE BIT TO TRY TO GET SOME RESPONSE.
I GUESS I SAID A FEW THINGS OUT OF LINE.
MANIFEST YOURSELF! TALK! Elzey: DAVID DECIDES TO GO BACK UP TO THE FRONT OF THE BASEMENT, AND HE'S ACTUALLY SETTING UP A VIDEO CAMERA.
AND WHILE SETTING UP THE VIDEO CAMERA Woolever: SOMETHING PEBBLE-SIZED CAME FROM ACROSS THE ROOM AND STRUCK ME RIGHT ABOVE THE EYE.
Elzey: THE LOOK ON HIS FACE -- IT'S JUST UNDESCRIBABLE.
Woolever: I WAS SHOCKED BECAUSE I HAD NEVER BEEN ATTACKED TO THAT EXTENT.
Elzey: WE WERE IN THE BASEMENT STILL, AND I GET THIS REALLY HO SENSATION ON MY NECK.
Woolever: WE WHIPPED AROUND TO SHINE THE LIGHT ON HIS NECK TO SEE IF ANYTHING HAD HAPPENED.
Elzey: AND THEY NOTICED THA THERE'S THREE LINES ON MY NECK.
Woolever: AS TIME WENT ON, THEY BEGAN TO GET MORE RED.
THEY RAISED.
I SHOULD HAVE PROBABLY NO PROVOKED AS I DID.
Elzey: WHEN I SAW THOSE THREE SCRATCHES ON MY NECK AND REALIZED THAT I HAD JUST BEEN PHYSICALLY TOUCHED BY A SPIRIT OF SOME SORT, I HAD THIS FEELING OF PURE HELPLESSNESS BECAUSE I REALIZED THAT THERE'S SOMETHING OUT THERE THAT I CAN'T SEE, I CAN'T FIGHT, BUT IT CAN TOUCH ME.
IT WAS THE MOST TERRIFYING THING THAT I CAN THINK OF.
Woolever: AFTER THAT, WE BEGAN USING THE GHOST BOX, OR THE SPIRIT BOX, IN THE BASEMENT.
AND AT ONE POINT, IT CAME ACROSS.
IT SAID, "ELZEY," WHICH IS JASON'S LAST NAME.
HE HAD NOT SAID HIS LAST NAME AT ALL TO ANYONE IN THE ROOM, TO ANYONE THAT DAY.
Elzey: IT'S ONE OF THOSE THINGS WHEN SOMETHING GETS THAT PERSONAL IT SCARES YOU, BUT I MAKES YOU MAD AT THE SAME TIME.
Woolever: AND SHORTLY AFTER THAT, ONE OF MY FRIENDS SAID, "WILL YOU COME OU AND TALK TO US?" Elzey: AND WE GET AN ELECTRONIC VOICE PHENOMENON SAYING, "I'M NOT GOING TO DO THAT.
" WHEN YOU HEAR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, IT'S JUST THE CHILLS THAT YOU GET, KNOWING THAT IT WAS THERE WITH YOU.
YOU COULDN'T SEE IT, BUT IT'S TRYING TO TALK TO YOU.
Woolever: AFTER THAT, SOMETHING CAME THROUGH THAT SAID, "DEMON.
" Elzey: IT ALMOST FEL LIKE WE WERE BEING SURROUNDED BY SOMETHING VERY DARK, VERY BAD.
Woolever: I WAS DEFINITELY MORE SCARED THAN I'VE EVER BEEN.
I THINK WE WERE DEALING WITH SOMETHING VERY DARK, MALEVOLENT, AND IT DIDN'T LIKE THAT WE WERE THERE.
SHORTLY AFTER THAT, I FELT JUST A VERY HEAVY FEELING ON MY CHEST AGAIN.
MOVED DOWN INTO MY STOMACH, AND IT FELT AS IF SOMETHING WAS ACTUALLY TRYING TO MAKE ME ILL.
I WAS DRY-HEAVING, ABOUT TO VOMIT.
Elzey: THIS IS SOMETHING THAT I CAN DO NOTHING ABOUT.
I CAN'T HELP HIM IN ANY WAY.
AND IT'S THE MOST HELPLESS FEELING YOU WILL EVER HAVE.
Woolever: I KNEW THA WHATEVER HAD ATTACKED ME BEFORE WAS TRYING TO, IF NOT FINISH THE JOB, MAKE ME LEAVE AND NOT COME BACK.
Elzey: AFTER DAVID GOT ATTACKED BY THE SPIRIT, I KNEW WE HAD TO GET OU OF THAT BUILDING.
Woolever: BEFORE I WEN TO THE CALVIN CENTER, I HAD NEVER EXPERIENCED ANYTHING THAT DARK OR THAT INTELLIGENT.
THE SPIRITS IN THE BASEMEN OF THE CALVIN CENTER, I BELIEVE, CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS.
Elzey: I THINK IT'S AFFECTED ME IN MANY WAYS.
IT'S TAUGHT ME THAT THERE ARE THINGS OUT THERE THAT YOU PROBABLY SHOULDN'T MESS WITH, AND IF YOU DO, THEY'RE GONNA MESS BACK.
Woolever: I DO WANT TO GO BACK TO THE CALVIN CENTER.
I WANT TO FINISH WHAT I STARTED.
I WANT TO KNOW FOR SURE WHY IT'S HAPPENING AND WHY IT HAPPENED TO ME.
Elzey: VISITING THE CALVIN CENTER WAS DEFINITELY THE TOP SCARIEST THINGS THAT HAVE EVER HAPPENED TO ME IN MY ENTIRE LIFE.
Martin: EMMA WAS STILL THERE.
THIS TIME, SHE WAS DANCING FOR US, PLAYING IN FRONT OF THE CAMERA.
[ LAUGHS .]
YOU CANNOT TELL ME THAT WHAT WE SAW WAS NOT A SPIRIT OF SOME SORT.
I'D BE A LIAR IF I SAID I WASN' A LITTLE SCARED, 'CAUSE I WAS.
Davis: ALL OF A SUDDEN, THIS LIGHT SHOT OU AND TAGGED MY SON ON THE ARM AND THEN FLEW AWAY.
Martin: THERE WAS SOMETHING DANCING IN FRONT OF OUR CAMERA.
IT WASN'T A BALL OF DUST.
IT WAS TWO ORBS FLOATING BACK AND FORTH.
I DIDN'T WANT TO GO BACK UP THERE ALONE.
THE ENERGY FELT NEGATIVE.
Davis: MY GHOST STORY BEGAN WHEN I WENT TO THE EXCHANGE HOTEL IN GORDONSVILLE, VIRGINIA.
IN TERMS OF THE HISTORY, I WAS ALWAYS INTERESTED IN THE EXCHANGE HOTEL 'CAUSE IT BECAME A RECEIVING HOSPITAL FOR WOUNDED SOLDIERS DURING THE CIVIL WAR.
I HAD DECIDED TO GO TO THE HOTEL, AND MY FRIEND TODD CAME WITH ME.
TODD AND I WENT TO SCHOOL TOGETHER, AND WE'VE ALWAYS BEEN INTERESTED IN THE PARANORMAL.
Martin: THE EXCHANGE HOTEL IS -- IT'S RICH IN TRAUMA.
THERE WAS SLAVERY THERE.
THERE'S ACTUALLY A TREE OUTSIDE THAT STILL STANDS WHERE THEY WOULD JUST HANG PEOPLE IN SUCCESSION ALL THE WAY DOWN.
THE LIMB WAS BIG ENOUGH TO HOLD FOUR OR FIVE HANGINGS AT A TIME.
PLUS, THERE WAS A SURGICAL UNI ON THE THIRD FLOOR OF THE HOTEL.
THE TOOLS THEY USED -- IT WAS BARBARIC.
SO THERE'S GOT TO BE NEGATIVE ENERGY IN THAT PLACE.
[ SCREAMING .]
[ TRAIN BELL DINGS .]
Davis: THERE WAS THREE DIFFEREN BUILDINGS TO INVESTIGATE, AND ALL THREE OF THE BUILDINGS LOOKED HAUNTED.
Martin: DODIE AND I SPLIT UP 'CAUSE IT'S A BIG PLACE.
THERE'S SO MUCH TO DO THERE.
I LIKE GOING OFF BY MYSELF.
I LIKE DOING THIS ALONE.
SO I WENT OFF TO THE TRAIN DEPO BECAUSE THERE WERE PEOPLE FIGHTING FOR OUR COUNTRY WHO ACTUALLY CAME BACK AND DIED THERE.
I THINK THE SPIRITS OF THE SOLDIERS ARE STILL THERE WAITING.
AND THAT'S WHAT I WANTED TO SEE.
I WANTED TO BRING THEM OUT.
I TRY TO TALK TO THE SPIRITS LIKE THEY'RE PEOPLE BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT THEY WERE.
SO, I HOLLERED DOWN TO THE OTHER END OF THE TRAIN DEPOT, "ANYTHING I CAN DO TO HELP YOU? ARE YOU WAITING FOR SOMEBODY TO GET OFF THE TRAIN?" AND I GOT THE SPIRIT OF WHA I THINK WAS A LITTLE CHILD RESPOND, "YES.
" AND AS SOON AS I GOT THAT, I HEARD THE GUITAR BEHIND ME STRUM.
[ GUITAR STRUMS .]
DIDN'T EVEN KNOW A GUITAR WAS IN THERE.
IT WAS LEANING AGAINST THE WALL DIRECTLY BEHIND ME.
I'D BE A LIAR IF I SAID I WASN' A LITTLE SCARED, 'CAUSE I WAS.
Davis: FIRST, BECAUSE I MIGHT BE THE MOST ACTIVE PLACE, I WANTED TO GO INSIDE OF THE HOTEL.
WALKING AROUND, I FELT A PRESENCE.
I HAD THIS CREEPY FEELING, AND MY SKIN GOT TINGLY, AND YOU COULD JUST TELL THERE'S SOMETHING THERE.
I WAS SCARED.
SO I GOT OUT OF THAT HOUSE.
I WENT TO THE SLAVE KITCHEN.
WE ALWAYS DO THE HISTORY BEFORE WE GO TO INVESTIGATE.
SO, ONE OF THE STORIES IS A STORY OF A SPIRIT -- AND HIS NAME WAS MR.
RICHARDS -- WHO WAS A SURGEON.
AND HE, APPARENTLY, KILLED HIS WIFE -- CUT HER UP IN THE BATHROOM.
[ SCREAMING .]
I HAD BEEN TRYING TO GET HIM TO INTERACT WITH ME.
AFTER SOME PROVOKING, HE TOUCHED THE INSIDE OF MY LEG.
I WAS SCARED TO DEATH.
MY INSTINCT WAS TO RUN IMMEDIATELY DOWN THE STAIRS AND GET OUT OF THAT HOUSE.
AFTER THE EXPERIENCE IN THE SLAVE KITCHEN, TODD AND I WENT TO THE THIRD FLOOR OF THE EXCHANGE HOTEL, AND MY SON, DUSTY, WAS WITH US.
THERE IS A LOCAL LEGEND OF A LITTLE GIRL NAMED EMMA, AND SHE HAD A NANNY.
AND APPARENTLY, THE NANNY DIED BEFORE HER.
THEN THE LITTLE GIRL DIED, BUT THE NANNY WON'T LET HER PASS OVER.
I THINK THE SPIRIT OF EMMA STILL HAUNTS THE HOTEL.
SO WE WERE TRYING TO GE THE LITTLE GIRL TO COME OUT AND PLAY.
[ LAUGHING .]
Martin: SHE ONLY RESIDES ON THE THIRD FLOOR, AND HER SPIRIT HAS RUN OF THE WHOLE HOTEL, THEY SAY.
BUT SHE LIKES TO STAY ON THE THIRD FLOOR.
Davis: I HAD MY NIGHT-VISION CAMERA ROLLING.
TODD WAS ACTUALLY TRYING TO GE SOME EVPs.
AND MY SON, DUSTY, WAS PUTTING SOME TOYS OUT ON THE FLOOR AS TRIGGER OBJECTS TO TRY TO DRAW THE SPIRIT OF EMMA TO COME OU AND INTERACT WITH US.
THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN, THIS LIGHT SHOT OU AND TAGGED HIM ON THE ARM, AND THEN IT FLEW AWAY.
[ GASPS .]
OH! [ LAUGHS .]
Martin: EMMA CREPT UP IN FRONT OF ME, WENT IN FRONT OF DODIE AND STRAIGHT OVER TO DUSTY, AND REAL SLOWLY TOUCHED HIS SHIRT, PICKED IT, AND THEN TOOK OFF RUNNING.
THE LITTLE GIRL DECIDED TO PLAY TAG.
Davis: I THINK SHE CAME OU BECAUSE WE'D BEEN TRYING TO GET HER TO PLAY TAG WITH US.
Martin: THAT'S WHAT WE SET OUT TO DO.
WE WANTED TANGIBLE EVIDENCE.
I'M A SKEPTIC.
YOU'VE GOT TO SHOW IT TO ME.
THAT WAS THE MOST EXTRAORDINARY THING I'VE SEEN.
WE CAUGHT THE LITTLE CHILD ONE TIME.
WE WANTED TO SEE HER SPIRI A SECOND TIME.
WE WANTED TO SEE IF SHE WAS STILL THERE OR MAYBE IF IT WAS SOMEBODY ELSE.
Davis: I SET THE CAMERA UP RIGHT IN THE SAME DIRECTION.
SO MAYBE SOMETHING WOULD HAPPEN AGAIN.
I THINK A COUPLE HOURS PROBABLY WENT ON, AND WE DIDN'T GET ANYTHING.
I GOT UP AND STARTED WALKING AROUND, AND I JUST HAPPENED TO TURN MY CAMERA TO THE LEFT, AND THAT'S WHEN I SEEN THESE TWO LITTLE ANOMALIES.
THEY CAME OUT OF THE BEDROOM, AND THEY WERE, LIKE, JUS INTERTWINING WITH EACH OTHER.
IT JUST REMINDED ME OF, LIKE, LITTLE KIDS PLAYING.
Martin: EMMA WAS STILL THERE.
THIS TIME, SHE WAS DANCING FOR US, PLAYING IN FRONT OF THE CAMERA.
IT WASN'T A BALL OF DUST.
IT WAS TWO ORBS FLOATING BACK AND FORTH TOGETHER IN FRONT OF THE CAMERA.
YOU CANNOT TELL ME THAT WHAT WE SAW WAS NOT A SPIRIT OF SOME SORT.
[ LAUGHING .]
THERE WAS SOMETHING DANCING IN FRONT OF OUR CAMERA.
THEN SHE JUST WALKED ON OFF.
AFTER THIS SECOND VIDEO, WHERE WE CAPTURED HER SPIRI GOING IN AND OU [Chuckling.]
NOT ONLY HAD SHE HAD ENOUGH, I HAD HAD ENOUGH.
THERE'S NO SENSE PUSHING IT.
I BEGAN TO FEEL LIKE, "OKAY, WE'RE IN HER SPACE.
" SO WE DECIDED TO LEAVE.
Davis: AS A MOTHER OF THREE CHILDREN, IT MAKES ME VERY SAD TO KNOW THAT THE SPIRIT OF EMMA IS TRAPPED ON THE THIRD FLOOR OF THIS HOTEL.
Martin: THIS LITTLE GIRL'S SPIRIT, EMMA, HAS CHANGED MY WHOLE PERSPECTIVE ON THE PARANORMAL.
I STARTED AS A SKEPTIC, AND IT TOOK A LITTLE SPIRI OF A 6-YEAR-OLD CHILD TO PROVE TO ME THAT THEY'RE HERE.
AFTER THAT INVESTIGATION, I'M NOT A SKEPTIC AT ALL.
I DO NOW BELIEVE THAT THERE ARE SPIRITS.
I DO BELIEVE THAT THERE IS ANGELS THAT WALK AMONG US.
I ALSO BELIEVE THERE'S DEMONS THAT WALK AMONG US.
Davis: AFTER SPENDING TIME AT THE EXCHANGE HOTEL AND GETTING TOUCHED ON THE LEG, CAPTURING THE SPIRIT TAGGING MY SON, AND SEEING THE TWO ANOMALIES PLAYING TOGETHER, I DEFINITELY KNOW THAT THERE IS SPIRITS OUT THERE.
[ LAUGHING .]
