THAT WAS THE MOST COMPELLING EVIDENCE I HAVE EVER SEEN.

Maitland: WHAT IS HAPPENING IN MY HOUSE IS PARANORMAL.

Parlor: YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT'S BEHIND THOSE EYES, AND THAT MAKES I EVEN MORE SCARY.
King: SOMETHING SMASHED INTO MY DOOR AT FULL FORCE.
Starks: I FEARED FOR THE LIFE OF MY CHILD WHEN HE LIVED THERE.

King: SOMETHING SAT ACROSS ME AND WAS BREATHING ON MY FACE.
Starks: I WAS AFRAID THAT WHATEVER WAS THERE WAS GOING TO KILL HIM.
MY GHOST STORY BEGAN AT MY MOTHER'S HOUSE IN SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH.
IT'S A PRETTY QUIE NEIGHBORHOOD.
IT'S OLDER.
I BELIEVE MY MOTHER BOUGH THE HOUSE AROUND 50 YEARS AGO.
IT'S VERY LARGE.
IT'S TWO STORIES, SEVEN BEDROOMS, AND THEN UP THE STAIRS IS AN APARTMEN THAT WAS BUILT ON TOP OF THE HOUSE.
King: MY GRANDMOTHER'S HOME IS VERY OMINOUS.
THERE'S A HEAVINESS, IS HOW I DESCRIBE IT.
Starks: IF YOU HAVE ANY KIND OF A SENSITIVE FEELING TOWARDS DARK ENERGY, YOU CAN FEEL IT RIGH WHEN YOU WALK IN THE HOUSE, BUT THERE'S CERTAIN AREAS OF THE HOUSE WHERE YOU CAN DEFINITELY FEEL IT.
YOU WANT MY PERSONAL OPINION OF THAT HOUSE? I'M SCARED TO DEATH OF IT.
I FEARED FOR THE LIFE OF MY CHILD WHEN HE LIVED THERE BECAUSE I WAS AFRAID THAT WHATEVER WAS THERE WAS GOING TO KILL HIM.
I MOVED OUT, AND MY SON WAS 18.
HE CHOSE TO STAY THERE.
King: WHEN I MOVED INTO THE ROOM, THE FIRST FEW NIGHTS WERE FINE, BUT AFTER MAYBE A WEEK, IT BECAME VERY CLEAR TO ME THAT SOMETHING WAS VERY, VERY WRONG.
ONE NIGHT, I WENT UPSTAIRS INTO THE APARTMEN TO WASH UP FOR DINNER.
WHILE I WAS WASHING MY HANDS, THE DOOR HANDLE STARTED TO JIGGLE, LIKE SOMEONE HAD GRABBED IT AND SORT OF GAVE IT A LITTLE TWIST.
WHEN I WENT TO OPEN THE DOOR, IT HAD FLOWN OPEN IN MY FACE.
I RAN OUT, SCARED.
I HEADED TOWARDS THE DOWNSTAIRS, AND I COULD HEAR FOOTSTEPS ALL THE WAY TO THE STAIRS.
IT SOUNDED LIKE A VERY BIG MAN WAS RUNNING BEHIND ME.
I FIGURED, YOU KNOW, IF THIS HOUSE IS HAUNTED, THEN IT'S HAUNTED.
I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING TO WORRY ABOUT.
A GHOST IS A GHOST.
WHAT'S THE WORST IT COULD DO? Starks: EVERYONE THAT STAYED IN THAT ROOM HAS HAD SOMETHING HAPPEN TO THEM.
King: WHEN I WAS YOUNGER, I WAS NOT FULLY AWARE OF ALL THE TRAGEDY THAT HAD HAPPENED IN THE HOUSE.
Starks: IT STARTED WITH MY BROTHER JACK.
HE DISAPPEARED FROM THE HOUSE.
A MONTH LATER, HE WAS FOUND IN THE RIVER.
WE BELIEVE IT WAS HOMICIDE.
SOME YEARS LATER, MY SISTER, WHO LIVED IN THE APARTMENT UPSTAIRS, SHE DIED OF AN INJECTION OF MORPHINE TO THE NECK.
AND THEN MY OTHER BROTHER LIVED IN THE APARTMENT UPSTAIRS.
HE DECIDED TO TAKE OFF AND LEAVE THE APARTMENT.
HE WAS STRUCK BY A CAR AND KILLED.
AND THE MOST RECENT -- MY HUSBAND AND I WERE SEPARATED, AND HE JUST NEEDED SOMEWHERE TO STAY JUST FOR THE NIGHT.
AND WE WERE STILL FRIENDS.
I LET HIM STAY, AND HE DIED THAT NIGHT IN THE HOUSE.
King: ABOUT A MONTH AFTER I HAD MOVED INTO THE ROOM, I HAD STARTED TO SEE A TALL FIGURE IN THE CORNER.
IT WAS KIND OF HUNCHED OVER.
IT WAS DARKER THAN EVEN THE DARK IN MY ROOM.
LIKE, IT STOOD OUT.
IT WAS JUST SOR OF SITTING THERE WATCHING ME ALMOST EVERY NIGHT.
I TOLD MY MOTHER ABOUT SEEING IT.
SHE THOUGHT MAYBE IT WAS A SPIRIT IN THE HOUSE, BUT WE DIDN'T REALLY KNOW A THE TIME WHAT IT WAS FOR SURE.
Starks: WHEN MY SON HAD MOVED UP INTO THAT ROOM, AT THAT POINT, IT HADN'T OCCURRED TO ME THAT MAYBE THIS THING HAD ACTUALLY HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH ALL THE DEATHS IN OUR FAMILY.
King: ONE NIGHT, MY FRIEND TRAVIS CAME OVER, AND HE'S A SKEPTIC.
HE DOES NOT BELIEVE IN GHOSTS OR ANY OF THAT, AND I WAS TALKING TO HIM ABOUT IT, AND HE STARTED TO SAY, YOU KNOW, "THIS ISN'T REAL.
IT'S JUST IN YOUR HEAD.
" THE NEXT THING THAT HAPPENED, WE HEARD FOOTSTEPS RUNNING UP THE STAIRS, AND SOMETHING SMASHED INTO MY DOOR AT FULL FORCE.
[ THUD .]
IT SOUNDED LIKE SOMEONE HAD TRIED TO RAM THEIR SHOULDER INTO THE DOOR AND BREAK IT DOWN.
WE BOTH JUMPED UP AND RAN OVER THERE, AND THERE WAS NO ONE AT THAT DOOR.
I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO THINK.
A COUPLE OF NIGHTS LATER, I WAS LAYING IN MY ROOM, AND I HAD HAD THIS SENSATION THAT SOMEBODY WAS IN THERE.
I HEARD FOOTSTEPS STARTING FROM THE BACK OF MY ROOM, WORK THEIR WAY TO MY BED, AND SOMETHING SAT ACROSS ME AND WAS BREATHING ON MY FACE -- VERY, VERY COLD BREATH.
MY WHOLE BODY WAS REALLY COLD.
MY HEART WAS RACING.
I COULDN'T EVEN MOVE MY EYES.
THEY WERE JUST LOCKED IN PLACE, AND I WAS PARALYZED.
I COULDN'T MOVE.
I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO.
I WANTED TO LOOK, BUT I COULDN'T.
THIS WAS A VERY TERRIFYING EXPERIENCE FOR ME.
IT'S WHAT MADE ME REALIZE THAT THERE IS SOMETHING ELSE HERE THAT I CANNOT CONTROL.
Starks: I WAS EXTREMELY WORRIED THIS DEMON WAS GOING TO TAKE MY SON AWAY FROM ME.
I HAPPENED TO MENTION TO ONE OF MY FRIENDS SOME OF THE THINGS THAT WERE GOING ON IN THE HOUSE, AND HE TOLD ME HE WAS IN A PARANORMAL RESEARCH TEAM AND WOULD BE INTERESTED IN COMING AND LOOKING AT THE HOUSE.
BEFORE THEY EVEN SET UP, THEY WALKED THROUGH THE HOUSE WITH THEIR RECORDERS, AND RIGHT OFF THE BAT, THEY PICKED UP A MAN'S VOICE THAT SAID, "KIDNAPPED.
" MY FAMILY HAS ALWAYS BELIEVED THAT THE FIRST ONE TO PASS AWAY, MY BROTHER, WAS KIDNAPPED AND MURDERED.
LATER, IN THE APARTMEN UPSTAIRS, THEY WERE ASKING QUESTIONS ABOUT MY SISTER'S DEATH.
THEY WERE TALKING AS IF THEY WERE TALKING TO HER.
"WERE YOU PUNCHED IN THE FACE? WERE YOU DRUG OUT INTO THE HALL? IS THAT WHAT HAPPENED?" AND SHE RESPONDED, "YEAH.
" MYSELF AND MY MOTHER AND MY OTHER TWO SISTERS ALL HEARD THAT EVP, AND WE WILL ALL PU ON OUR LIVES THAT THAT IS MY SISTER'S VOICE.
WE KNOW WHAT SHE SOUNDS LIKE.
THAT IS MY SISTER.
King: I DIDN'T KNOW MY AUN VERY CLOSELY, BUT SHE WAS VERY CLOSE TO MY MOTHER, AND IT WAS VERY EMOTIONAL FOR HER.
Starks: I MEAN, I STILL HAVE A HARD TIME LISTENING TO IT.
IT WAS UNLIKE ANYTHING I'VE EVER EXPERIENCED.
TO HEAR YOUR DEAD LOVED ONE COME THROUGH A VOICE RECORDER? THAT TO ME WAS JUST PHENOMENAL.
King: THE PARANORMAL TEAM SET UP CAMERAS THROUGHOUT THE HOUSE.
Starks: THE CAMERA THAT WAS SET UP IN THE ROOM AT THE TOP OF THE STAIRS WHERE MY SON WAS STAYING, WHERE THE DARK ENTITY WAS, YOU SEE ONE OF THE TEAM MEMBERS SET THE CAMERA UP, AND THE CAMERA WAS STABLE, AND AS HE WALKS AWAY, YOU SEE THAT CAMERA SHIF BY ITSELF.
King: ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS, THIS CAMERA HAD TURNED ITSELF TO THE CORNER WHERE I WOULD SEE THE TALL FIGURE.
WHATEVER WAS IN THE ROOM WAS DOING IT ON PURPOSE.
IT WAS EGGING THEM ON.
IT WAS TRYING TO GE THEIR ATTENTION.
Starks: WHEN I SAW THAT VIDEO, I KNEW WITHOUT A DOUB THAT WHAT WAS GOING ON IN THAT HOUSE WAS REAL.
ACCORDING TO THE PARANORMAL TEAM THAT CAME THERE, IT WAS A DEMONIC ENTITY THAT WAS RESIDING IN THE ROOM AT THE TOP OF THE STAIRS.
THE WAY THEY DESCRIBED IT TO ME, THE DEMONIC ENTITY IS AN ENTITY THAT'S NEVER HAD A BODY.
IT'S NOT A SPIRIT.
IT'S NOT A PERSON THAT'S DIED.
THAT IT WAS THIS ENTITY'S GOAL TO DESTROY ANYONE THAT I POSSIBLY COULD IN MY FAMILY, AND THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WAS AFTER MY SON.
THEY SAID I WOULD BE THE ONE WHO WOULD HAVE TO GET RID OF IT.
I WAS INSTRUCTED TO TRAP IT IN A MIRROR AND DISPOSE OF I IN A PROPER WAY OFF OF THE PROPERTY, WHERE I WOULD NEVER BE ABLE TO RETURN.
A COUPLE OF DAYS LATER, I TOOK A BLANKET, AND I TOOK A MIRROR ABOU MAYBE THREE FEET BY TWO FEET.
AND I TOOK IT UP TO THAT ROOM, AND I CLOSED THE DOOR.
I'M NOT GONNA LIE.
I WAS TERRIFIED.
I WAS ABSOLUTELY TERRIFIED.
I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT I WAS UP AGAINST.
I KNEW THIS THING WAS VERY POWERFUL.
BUT I ALSO KNEW THAT I LOVED MY SON ENOUGH THAT THIS THING WAS NOT GOING TO WIN.
I WAS GOING TO DO WHATEVER IT TOOK TO PROTECT MY SON AND GET RID OF IT.
I PROPPED THE MIRROR UP, LAID THE BLANKET ON THE FLOOR, AND I SAT AND CHALLENGED IT.
I COMMANDED IT TO GE INTO THE MIRROR AND THAT HE COULD FIGHT ME AS LONG AS HE WANTED, BUT HE WAS NOT GONNA WIN.
ALL OF A SUDDEN, I SAW HIM JUS BEFORE HE WENT INTO THE MIRROR.
IT WAS ABOU EIGHT FEET TALL, BLACK, BUT NOT SOLID -- LIKE A SHADOW.
WHEN I LOOKED FOR A FACE, THERE WAS NO FACE.
IT WAS JUST BLACK.
I WAS ABSOLUTELY HORRIFIED.
I SAW HIM GO INTO THE MIRROR, AND I GRABBED THE MIRROR, AND I HURRIED, AND I SLAMMED I FACE DOWN ONTO THE BLANKET, AND I TIED IT UP.
THE MIRROR WEIGHED A LOT MORE WHEN I PICKED IT UP.
IT WAS NOT THE SAME WEIGHT.
IT WEIGHED A WHOLE LOT MORE.
CARRIED IT OUT TO MY CAR, PUT IT IN THE TRUNK, DROVE IT WAY OFF THE PROPERTY.
I TOOK THE MIRROR AND SMASHED I ONTO THE PAVEMENT.
[ GLASS SHATTERS .]
King: I WENT BACK TO THE HOUSE, AND THE AIR WAS LIGHTER.
THERE WAS SUCH A RELIEF IN THE WHOLE HOUSE.
Starks: I DIDN'T TELL HIM WHAT I WAS DOING.
AND HE SAID, "MOM, WHAT DID YOU DO TO THE HOUSE? THE HOUSE IS DIFFERENT.
IT'S NOT SCARY ANYMORE.
" King: I WAS VERY GRATEFUL THAT MY MOTHER WOULD GO TO THE LENGTHS THAT SHE DID FOR ME, BECAUSE I KNOW HOW TRAUMATIC AND HARD THIS WAS FOR HER, ESPECIALLY WITH THE PAST TRAGEDIES THA SHE'S BEEN THROUGH.
Starks: ALL OF THESE EXPERIENCES, I HAVE A COMPLETELY DIFFEREN OUTLOOK ON LIFE.
I DON'T TAKE LIFE FOR GRANTED.
I DON'T TAKE PEOPLE THAT I LOVE FOR GRANTED.
TO SOMEONE THAT DOESN' BELIEVE IN DEMONS OR THEIR ABILITY TO BE ABLE TO HARM YOU OR INFLUENCE YOU, YOU DON'T HAVE TO BELIEVE ME OR MY STORY, BECAUSE I DIDN' BELIEVE IT EITHER UNTIL IT HAPPENED TO ME.
Denice: THERE'S CHILDREN'S SPIRITS IN MY STORE.
Larry: YOU CAN SEE AN ORB FLY OUT, AND THE FLASHLIGH JUST TURNS ON.
Denice: WE DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO THINK OF THAT.
WE HAVE NEVER FEL ANYTHING SO STRONG.
Larry: THAT VOICE WAS EVIL.
Denice: AND THIS ORB WEN ACROSS THE FLASHLIGHT, AND THE FLASHLIGHT CAME ON.
Larry: THE EVIL SPIRI IS NOT PLEASED.
MY GHOST STORY BEGAN WHEN I MOVED TO ST.
AUGUSTINE, FLORIDA.
I AM PART OWNER OF A STORE CALLED ANTIQUES AND UNIQUES COLLECTIBLES IN ST.
AUGUSTINE.
WHEN WE FIRST SAW THE SHOP, WE PASSED BY I ON A TOURIST TRAIN THAT GOES BY AT ABOUT FIVE MILES AN HOUR.
AT THE TIME, WHEN WE WERE PASSING BY THAT STORE, I LOOKED AT IT AND TOLD MY WIFE, "WE HAVE TO GET BACK HERE.
" Denice: WE WERE TOTALLY DRAWN TO THE STORE.
WE KNEW IT WAS OURS FOR SOME REASON.
WE DIDN'T UNDERSTAND AT THA TIME WHAT THAT ACTUALLY MEANT, BUT WE WERE JUST FASCINATED WITH IT.
Larry: WE CONTINUED TO GO TO ST.
AUGUSTINE FOR ALMOST 12 YEARS, BUT IT WAS BECAUSE I THOUGH WE JUST WANTED TO GO THERE.
AT THE TIME, IT DIDN'T OCCUR TO ME THAT PERHAPS THERE WAS SOMETHING ELSE DRAWING US TO THE CITY.
I PERSONALLY HAVE BEEN A SKEPTIC MOST OF MY LIFE, WHEN IT COMES TO BELIEVING IN SPIRITS.
MY WIFE, DENICE, IS EXTREMELY SENSITIVE TO THINGS GOING ON AROUND HER.
SHE UNDERSTANDS THINGS AND FEELS THINGS THAT PERHAPS ARE BEYOND MY FEELINGS AND UNDERSTANDINGS.
Denice: WHEN LARRY AND I OPENED THE STORE AND WE ACTUALLY WALKED IN AS OWNERS, I PRETTY MUCH KNEW IMMEDIATELY THAT THERE WAS CHILDREN'S SPIRITS IN THE STORE.
Larry: I LIKE TO NAP IN THE AFTERNOON SOMETIMES FOR A HALF-HOUR TO AN HOUR, AND WHAT I WOULD DO IS GO INTO THE BACK ROOM, AND MY WIFE WILL STAY AT THE FRONT OF THE STORE.
AND I WAS SOUND ASLEEP IN THE BACK ROOM, AND I WOKE UP.
AND I'M LOOKING STRAIGHT AHEAD.
THERE WAS A WHITE MIS THAT HAD FORMED THERE.
AND IT APPEARED TO BE IN THE SHAPE OF A MAN.
THIS MIST WAS STARING STRAIGHT AT ME.
AND THIS WENT ON FOR ABOUT 30 SECONDS.
AND THEN IT WAS GONE.
THAT UNNERVED ME.
I BEGAN TO REALIZE PERHAPS I SHOULD BE A LITTLE MORE OPEN-MINDED TO UNDERSTANDING THAT THERE WERE SPIRITUAL ELEMENTS THAT I HAD NEVER INVESTIGATED BEFORE.
WE HAD A PSYCHIC MEDIUM WHO CAME TO THE STORE ON HER OWN VOLITION.
SHE JUST SHOWED UP ONE DAY.
SHE JUST SAID SHE WAS DRAWN TO THE STORE.
Denice: SHE TOLD ME THAT SHE WAS A MEDIUM, AND I SAID, "WELL, THE STORE IS OPEN.
"WHEREVER YOU WANT TO GO, WHEREVER YOU FEEL DRAWN, GO THAT WAY.
" AND, OF COURSE, SHE WEN RIGHT TO THE BACK ROOM WHERE LARRY SAW THE APPARITION OF THE MAN.
APRIL BEGAN CHANNELING SPIRITS THAT WERE IN THERE.
THE FIRST VISION THAT CAME TO HER WAS OF A MALICIOUS, MEAN MAN THAT'S STUCK IN THE BACK OF THE STORE, AND HE HAD ACTUALLY TAKEN FOUR CHILDREN FROM THEIR PARENTS AND HELD THEM CAPTIVE IN THAT AREA, SEXUALLY MOLESTING THEM, AND EVENTUALLY KILLING ALL OF THEM.
SHE'S ALSO TELLING ME ONE PROMINENT FEATURE WAS THAT HE HAD A SCAR FROM THE CENTER OF HIS CHEEK TO THE CENTER OF HIS CHIN.
AND AT THAT POINT, APRIL AND I HEARD AN EXTREMELY LOUD CRASH.
[ CLATTER .]
Larry: I WAS SITTING IN THE FRONT OF THE STORE, WHERE WE HAVE OUR POINT-OF-SALE COMPUTER.
THERE WAS A GUST OF WIND, VERY STRONG, AND IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWED BY A LOUD CRASH.
[ CLATTER .]
Denice: AS WE COME OUT OF THE ROOM, A MANNEQUIN THAT WE'VE HAD STANDING BACK THERE FOR OVER A YEAR WAS LAYING ON THE FLOOR.
I PICKED THE MANNEQUIN UP TO STAND HIM BACK UP, AND THE ENTIRE TIP OF THE MANNEQUIN'S NOSE WAS GONE, AND THE ONLY DEN ON THIS MANNEQUIN'S FACE WAS FROM THE CENTER OF HIS CHEEK TO THE CENTER OF HIS CHIN.
Larry: THE EVIL SPIRIT, HE WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR THAT WIND -- MAKING HIS PRESENCE KNOWN.
I THINK THE EVIL GUY VERY WELL MIGHT HAVE BEEN THE SAME PERSON THAT WAS STARING AT ME, BECAUSE I WAS IN HIS SPACE, AND LETTING US KNOW THAT HE WAS NOT HAPPY ABOUT US FINDING OUT ABOUT WHAT HE USED TO DO TO THE KIDS.
Denice: AFTER THAT, I WANTED PEOPLE TO COME IN AND INVESTIGATE.
Larry: MERILEE IS A PARANORMAL INVESTIGATOR, AND SHE CAME IN WITH A FEW OTHER INVESTIGATORS.
THEY CAME IN TO SCOPE OUT THE PLACE.
Denice: MERILEE WAS VIDEOING EVERY INCH OF THE STORE, AND SHE CAPTURED AN EVP.
Larry: THE EVP THAT WAS STARTLING BUT REVEALING WAS, "YOU'RE COMING NEXT.
" A THREAT -- A DEFINITE THREAT.
PERHAPS THE SPIRIT THAT DID THINGS THAT WERE WRONG IS NOT PLEASED THAT YOU'RE FINDING OUT ABOUT IT.
THAT VOICE WAS EVIL, AND THE EVIL SPIRI OBVIOUSLY DOESN'T WANT US INVESTIGATING FURTHER INTO HOW HE MAY HAVE HUR THOSE KIDS.
Denice: MERILEE AND I DID GO INTO THE BACK ROOM.
AND WE KIND OF SIT ON THE FLOOR.
NATURALLY, I COULDN'T SEE MERILEE AND SHE COULDN'T SEE ME BECAUSE IT WAS EXTREMELY DARK IN THERE.
AND WE HAD ACTUALLY BROUGHT IN A NEW PIECE OF EQUIPMEN CALLED THE SPIRIT BOX.
AS WE WERE SITTING ON THE FLOOR, SHE WAS DOING AN EVP SESSION.
AND THE SPIRIT BOX SAID THE WORD "MAMA.
" AND, SO, MERILEE ASKED THE SPIRIT, "DO YOU CONSIDER DENICE YOUR MAMA?" IMMEDIATELY, A WOMAN'S VOICE SAYS "YES.
" HEARING THE QUESTION ALONG WITH THE ANSWER "YES" DOES VALIDATE MY THEORY THAT THERE'S CHILDREN'S SPIRITS IN MY STORE.
Larry: MY WIFE LOVES CHILDREN, SO IF THERE ARE CHILDREN'S SPIRITS REACHING OUT, THEY WOULD REACH OUT TO HER, AND SHE WOULD KNOW IT.
SHE WOULD FEEL IT, AND SHE DOES.
Denice: AS WE WERE SITTING ON THE FLOOR, I FELT A FLASH OF LIGH THAT JUST, LIKE A SNAKE, JUST SLITHERED RIGHT BESIDE ME.
AND AT THAT POINT, MERILEE AND I BOTH FELT JUST TERRORIZED.
WE WERE TOTALLY STUNNED AND SCARED.
THERE WAS DEFINITELY A BAD ENTITY.
WE HAVE NEVER FEL ANYTHING SO STRONG.
AND AT THAT POINT, WE WATCHED SOME ORBS COMING OUT OF THE WALL.
AND THERE'S ONE IN PARTICULAR THAT WAS BRIGHTER THAN MOST OF THE OTHER ORBS.
AND THIS ORB WEN ACROSS THE FLASHLIGHT, AND THE FLASHLIGHT CAME ON.
Larry: YOU CAN SEE AN ORB FLY OUT, AND THE FLASHLIGH JUST TURNS ON.
Denice: WHEN SUDDENLY THE FLASHLIGHT TURNED ON, WE DIDN'T KNOW WHA TO THINK OF THAT, EITHER.
WAS SOMEBODY THERE TO PROTECT US OR WAS SOMEBODY WARNING US TO GET OUT? I BELIEVE THERE WAS A GOOD ENTITY THAT TURNED THE FLASHLIGHT ON TO GIVE US SOME LIGH TO GET OUT OF THE ROOM.
SO, WE DECIDED TO TAKE THE SAFE ROUTE AND GET OUT OF THAT BACK ROOM.
Larry: RIGHT AFTER THAT, THE INVESTIGATOR TOOK A PHOTO IN THE BACK ROOM.
Denice: ONE OF THE INVESTIGATORS CAPTURED A PICTURE OF A WOMAN COMING OU OF THAT BACK ROOM.
SHE'S STANDING IN FRON OF LOUVER DOORS.
YOU CAN SEE HER FACE.
SHE IS AN OLDER GIRL SPIRIT.
WHEN WE LOOKED AT THE PICTURE, THAT WAS THE MOMEN IT ALL CAME TOGETHER FOR ME.
SHE KNEW THAT MY EVERY BEING WAS ABOUT MAKING SURE THAT THOSE CHILDREN WERE NOT HARMED AND NOT PROVOKED AND SO FORTH, AND SO HER MESSAGE TO ME WAS THAT SHE WANTED ME TO BE HERE, AND THAT'S WHY WE'RE HERE.
ALL OF IT STARTS TO MAKE SENSE TO ME NOW.
I THINK THAT SOMETHING HORRIFIC HAPPENED TO THESE CHILDREN, AND I THINK IT'S UP TO ME TO HELP THEM GO TO THE LIGH AND GO HOME WITH THEIR PARENTS.
WE WERE DRAWN TO THAT STORE BECAUSE THE CHILDREN NEEDED HELP, AND THEY'VE BECOME VERY ATTACHED TO ME.
Larry: I STARTED OFF AS A SKEPTIC, AND I AM A BELIEVER.
IF I CAN'T EXPLAIN I PHYSICALLY, THEN IT'S NOT PHYSICAL.
IT'S SPIRITUAL.
THEY'RE THERE, AND WE HAVE TO RECOGNIZE IT.
Denice: I HAVE ENOUGH FAITH TO KNOW THAT GOOD OVERCOMES EVIL, SO I DEFINITELY THINK THAT THIS MALICIOUS MAN HE'S NOT GONNA WIN.
Kofton: THE MIDDLEBORO TOWN HALL WAS BUIL ON AN INDIAN BURIAL GROUND.
Hoffman: I CAUGH THE FIGURE OF A MAN.
YOU CAN ACTUALLY SEE HIM DISSIPATE COMPLETELY OUT OF FORM.
THE WORD BOX SAID, "BASEMENT.
" WE WERE COMPLETELY SCARED OUT OF OUR MINDS.
Hoffman: I CAUGH THE FIGURE OF A MAN.
YOU CAN ACTUALLY SEE HIM DISSIPATE COMPLETELY OUT OF FORM.
THE WORD BOX SAID, "BASEMENT.
" WE WERE COMPLETELY SCARED OUT OF OUR MINDS.
Kofton: MY GHOST STORY BEGAN WHEN I EXPERIENCED A LOT OF STRANGE HAPPENINGS AT THE MIDDLEBORO TOWN HALL.
YEARS AGO, I HAD BEEN A VIDEO TECHNICIAN, AND I WORKED AT THE MIDDLEBORO TOWN HALL, VIDEOTAPING SELECTMENS' MEETINGS AND VARIOUS THINGS LIKE THAT.
I LOVE OLD HISTORICAL PLACES, AND THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST ONES THERE IS.
THROUGHOUT THE COURSE OF WORKING THERE, A LOT OF TIMES I WOULD SEE SHADOWS.
THINGS WOULD FALL OR I'D PUT DOWN ONE OF MY TAPES, AND THEN WHEN I TURNED, IT WASN'T THERE.
THERE WERE TIMES WHEN I WAS RECORDING THE MEETINGS, AND THEN WHEN I WAS PLAYING THEM BACK, I'D HEAR ALL SORTS OF SOUNDS THAT I KNOW WEREN'T RECORDED AT THAT TIME.
I'D HEAR A GAVEL BANGING AND NONE OF THE SELECTMEN WERE USING GAVELS.
I'D HEAR A CRACKLING SOUND -- STUFF THAT DID NOT HAPPEN WHEN I WAS VIDEOTAPING THE MEETINGS.
THE ORIGINAL TOWN HALL WAS BUILT BACK 1873.
THEY TOLD ME THAT THE BUILDING HAD BURNED DOWN AT ONE POINT, AND I'M REMEMBERING THAT CRACKLING SOUND.
[ CRACKLING .]
I HAD GOOSE BUMPS, CHILLS -- JUST SPOOKED.
AT ONE POINT, I HEARD SOMEONE SAY MY NAME, AND I FELT THE BREATH, LIKE, IN THE HAIRS OF MY NECK.
BRANDT IS NOT A NAME EASILY CONFUSED WITH OTHER PEOPLE, AND NOBODY WAS THERE.
THINGS WOULD FALL THAT MADE NO SENSE, LIKE THE FLAGS DURING MEETINGS.
I'M A SKEPTIC, AND I TELL YOU, THIS STUFF WAS FOR REAL.
RACHEL HAD KNOWN THAT AT ONE POIN I WORKED AT THE MIDDLEBORO TOWN HALL, AND SHE KNEW FROM TALKING WITH ME THAT I SAW A LOT OF STRANGE THINGS HAPPENING THERE.
Hoffman: MY PARTNERS AND I GOT PERMISSION TO INVESTIGATE THE MIDDLEBORO TOWN HALL.
I REALLY WANTED TO VISI THE MIDDLEBORO TOWN HALL BECAUSE I HEARD THE SPIRITS WERE REALLY ACTIVE.
IT HAD BEEN BURNT DOWN YEARS AGO.
IT WAS ACTUALLY REBUIL INTO A JAIL, A BODY CHUTE, AND A MORGUE.
SO LATE ONE NIGHT, WE JUST WENT FOR IT.
Kofton: THERE'S A LO OF BAD HISTORY STILL THERE.
YOU COULD ALWAYS JUST RUN INTO SOMEONE THAT SAID, "YEAH, THAT PLACE IS HAUNTED.
" Hoffman: IT WAS ABOUT 6:00 P.
M.
I WAS ABSOLUTELY BLOWN AWAY BY THE MASSIVE SIZE OF THE BUILDING.
GAVE US AN EXTREMELY EERIE FEELING.
I WAS TAKING A SERIES OF PICTURES SO THAT WE COULD GE AS MUCH EVIDENCE AS POSSIBLE.
I WAS TAKING THEM WITH A THERMAL CAMERA.
AND I CAUGHT THE FIGURE OF A SOLDIER.
SO I SNAPPED A SERIES OF SHOTS, AND YOU CAN ACTUALLY SEE HIM DISSIPATE COMPLETELY OUT OF FORM.
I THINK THAT IT'S A GOOD POSSIBILITY THAT THE SOLDIER WAS THERE TO GUARD THE BUILDING.
NATIVE AMERICANS WERE ANGRY BECAUSE THE LAND WAS TAKEN FROM THEM.
Kofton: THE MIDDLEBORO TOWN HALL WAS BUIL ON AN INDIAN BURIAL GROUND.
Hoffman: SO THE DISRESPEC THAT THE WAMPANOAG INDIANS FEL KEPT COMING BACK TENFOLD ON THE TOWN HALL.
Kofton: I'M SURE THE INDIANS WEREN'T HAPPY ABOUT IT -- PAST, PRESENT, OR FUTURE.
Hoffman: I WAS COMPLETELY THROUGH THE MOON.
I COULDN'T BELIEVE THAT THIS INDIVIDUAL WAS ACTUALLY MOVING AND I WAS CATCHING THIS ON A SERIES OF SNAPSHOTS.
THAT WAS THE MOST COMPELLING EVIDENCE I HAVE EVER SEEN.
RIGHT AFTER THE BALCONY, WE HAD DECIDED TO TURN THE WORD BOX ON.
DIRECTLY AFTER, IT SEEMED TO BE CALLING ME.
THE WORD BOX SAID, "BASEMENT.
" BASEMENT.
THE BASEMENT USED TO BE A JAIL AND A MORGUE.
GOING DOWN INTO THE BASEMENT, KNOWING THAT SOME OF THE UNDERBELLY OF SOCIETY HAD PREVIOUSLY RESIDED IN THOSE CELLS, AMPED UP THE SITUATION.
WE WERE COMPLETELY SCARED OUT OF OUR MINDS.
AT ONE POINT, DOWN IN THE BASEMENT, THE WORD BOX ACTUALLY SAID, IN A MALE VOICE, A DEROGATORY TERM TOWARDS WOMEN.
I THINK IT'S A POSSIBILITY THAT THE VOICE ON THE WORD BOX WAS A MALE INMATE THAT WAS HOUSED THERE.
Kofton: THE TOWN HALL HAS A HISTORY OF MEN DOMINATING I AND RUNNING IT, AND IF YOU HAVE A WOMAN GO IN THERE, THEY ARE NOT GONNA LIKE IT.
Hoffman: MY HEART WAS BEATING OUT OF MY CHEST.
AT ONE POINT, YOU HEAR FOOTSTEPS RUNNING TOWARDS US.
BANG, BANG, BANG.
WE RAN DOWN THE HALLWAY WITH THE CAMERA TO SEE WHERE THE NOISE POSSIBLY COULD HAVE BEEN COMING FROM, AND THEN AN ORB SEEMS TO BE RUNNING IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION.
AND WHEN IT REALIZES THAT WE ARE RUNNING TOWARDS IT, IT DOUBLES BACK AND COMES BACK THE OTHER WAY.
IT WAS TERRIFYING.
AS WE WERE WRAPPING THINGS UP, WE JUST FELT LIKE SOMETHING HAD TAKEN US OVER.
IT WAS A VERY DRAINING FEELING COMING TOWARDS THE END OF THE INVESTIGATION.
WITHOUT A DOUBT, EVERYTHING THA BRANDT WAS TELLING ME WAS TRUE, FROM THE SMELL OF THE FIRE TO THE CRACKLING NOISES TO THE AUDIO INTERFERENCE.
IT WAS ALL VALIDATED IN MY EXPERIENCE.
Kofton: I HAVE NO DOUB THAT THE MIDDLEBORO TOWN HALL IS HAUNTED.
Hoffman: IT WAS ONE OF THE MOS INCREDIBLE AND ACTIVE NIGHTS OF MY ENTIRE LIFE.
Maitland: THE IMPRESSIONS THE MEDIUMS HAD IN THAT ROOM IS THAT THAT'S WHERE THE AMPUTATIONS WERE DONE.
THEY ASKED THE DOCTOR HOW MANY MEN HAD DIED, AND HIS ANSWER WAS Bernier: FOR THEM TO NOT KNOW, IT MUST HAVE BEEN PRETTY HORRIFIC.
Maitland: THE IMPRESSIONS THE MEDIUMS HAD IN THAT ROOM IS THAT THAT'S WHERE THE AMPUTATIONS WERE DONE.
THEY'D ASKED THE DOCTOR HOW MANY MEN HAD DIED, AND HIS ANSWER WAS MY GHOST STORY BEGAN WHEN I MOVED MY FAMILY INTO A HAUNTED HOUSE IN GETTYSBURG, PENNSYLVANIA.
THE HOUSE WAS ACTUALLY BUIL PREVIOUS TO THE WAR, EARLY 1800s.
WE FOUND OUT THE HOUSE HAD BEEN A CIVIL WAR FIELD HOSPITAL DIRECTLY FOLLOWING THE BATTLE OF GETTYSBURG.
IT'S A BEAUTIFUL, OLD STONE HOUSE.
I MOVED INTO IT 30 YEARS AGO.
I WAS YOUNG, HAD THREE SMALL CHILDREN.
Bernier: GROWING UP THERE WAS REALLY KIND OF FUN.
IT'S A LOT OF SPACE, AND IT WAS A REALLY NICE HOUSE.
IT'S JUST THAT SOMETIMES I DIDN'T FEEL COMFORTABLE IN CERTAIN PLACES IN THE HOUSE.
Maitland: ONE SECTION OF THE HOUSE, IT WAS A HALLWAY LEADING BACK TO THE BASEMENT DOOR.
IT WAS VERY CREEPY, VERY COLD.
Bernier: IT'S IN THE OLD PAR OF THE HOUSE -- THE CIVIL-WAR STONE PART OF THE HOUSE.
AND I WOULD ALWAYS JUST TURN THE LIGHT ON AND THEN KIND OF RUN THROUGH THAT SPACE.
AND IT WAS JUST REALLY UNCOMFORTABLE FOR ME.
Maitland: ABOUT A YEAR AFTER WE MOVED IN, WE MOVED THE BOYS INTO THE UPSTAIRS BEDROOM.
NATHAN, ABOUT AGE SIX, HE STARTED HAVING STRANGE THINGS HAPPEN.
HE WOULD COME DOWNSTAIRS AND TELL US THAT HE WOULD WAKE UP LYING ON THE FLOOR BESIDE HIS BED WITH THE BLANKETS ALL TUCKED IN AROUND HIM.
AND THERE WERE ALL THESE PEOPLE LEANING OVER HIM, LOOKING AT HIM.
WE KEPT THINKING, "WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?" AND MANY YEARS LATER, WHEN WE FOUND OUT THE HOUSE HAD BEEN A CIVIL WAR HOSPITAL, IT MADE SENSE, BECAUSE THE SOLDIERS WERE LAYING ALL OVER THE FLOOR, AND PEOPLE WALKED AROUND, LEANED OVER THEM, AND TRIED TO HELP THEM OR ASK THEM WHAT WAS WRONG WITH THEM.
SO THAT WAS OUR FIRST EXPERIENCE MANY YEARS AGO.
AFTER THAT, THERE WAS JUST MANY STRANGE FOOTSTEPS, A LOT OF NOISES.
IN ORDER FOR MY SANITY TO STAY THERE, I JUST THOUGHT, WELL, IT MUST BE THE CATS, MUST BE THE DOGS, OR THE KIDS ARE MAKING NOISE, AND OLD HOUSES MAKE NOISES.
A FEW YEARS LATER, MY DAUGHTER AND HER HUSBAND WERE ACTUALLY LIVING WITH ME AT THE TIME, AND THEY WERE THERE WITH THEIR 3-YEAR-OLD SON.
MAX HAD GOTTEN IN TROUBLE, AND HE WAS PUT ON THE STEPS INTO TIME OUT.
WE WERE IN THE OTHER ROOM, AND ALL OF A SUDDEN, THERE WAS THIS LOUD, HORRIBLE SCREAM.
WE ALL WENT RUNNING IN.
WE'RE LIKE, YOU KNOW, "WHAT HAPPENED? WHAT HAPPENED?" HE SAID, "IT'S THE BLUE MONSTER!" AND WE'RE LIKE, "HONEY, THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS A MONSTER.
" AND HE GOES, "YES! IT'S A BLUE MONSTER!" SO WE WERE ASKING HIM QUESTIONS.
WE SAID, "WELL, WHERE IS THIS BLUE MONSTER?" HE SAID, "HE'S IN THE STEPS.
" AND WE SAID, "WELL, WHAT DID THIS BLUE MONSTER LOOK LIKE?" AND HE SAID IT WAS A MAN WITH BLUE BOOTS, BLUE HAT, AND BLUE CAPE.
I COULDN'T PRETEND THAT THERE WASN'T ANYTHING HAPPENING ANYMORE.
SOMETIME AFTER THAT INCIDENT, WE JUST HAPPENED TO RUN INTO A FRIEND OF LEAH'S, AND THEY KNEW A MEDIUM.
AND WE ASKED HER IF SHE WOULD COME TO OUR HOUSE AND TRY TO FIGURE OU WHAT WAS HAPPENING.
WE HAD NOT TOLD THE MEDIUM ANY INFORMATION OR ANY STORIES THAT HAD HAPPENED IN THE HOUSE.
SHE REALLY DID NOT KNOW OUR FAMILY OR DIDN'T KNOW ANY OF THE HISTORY OF THE PROPERTY.
WE STARTED WALKING THROUGH THE HOUSE, AND SHE WENT TO THE CREEPY HALLWAY THAT WE'VE ALWAYS HATED.
SHE SAID, "THERE'S A MAN HERE WHO'S SCREAMING, 'HELP ME, HELP ME, HELP ME.
'" SHE STARTED TALKING TO HIM.
IT WAS A SOLDIER WHO HAD HAD HIS ARM BLOWN OFF, AND HE WAS CRYING FOR HELP.
SHE TRIED TO CONVINCE HIM THAT HE WAS DEAD, AND HE DIDN'T WAN TO BELIEVE HER.
SO SHE PRAYED TO GOD, AND SHE PASSED HIM OVER.
AND SINCE THEN, THAT HALLWAY IS MUCH NICER, MUCH WARMER, AND IT JUST DOESN'T HAVE THE CREEPY FEELING ANYMORE.
THE MEDIUM BROUGH A FRIEND OF HERS, BRAD, WHO IS VERY GOOD AT DOING EVP.
THEY WENT UPSTAIRS TO THE SMALLER BEDROOM.
THE IMPRESSIONS THE MEDIUMS HAD IN THAT ROOM IS THAT THAT'S WHERE THE AMPUTATIONS WERE DONE.
THEY FOUND THEY WERE TALKING TO A DOCTOR.
BRAD ASKED THE DOCTOR HOW MANY MEN HAD DIED, AND HIS ANSWER WAS, "TOO MANY TO COUNT.
" Bernier: WHEN I FIRST HEARD THAT EVP, I COULDN'T BELIEVE IT.
FOR THE DOCTOR TO SAY THERE WAS TOO MANY TO COUNT, IT MAKES YOU IMAGINE HOW MANY SOLDIERS WERE INJURED.
FOR THEM TO NOT KNOW AND TO HAVE IT NOT BE A SMALL NUMBER, IT MUST HAVE BEEN PRETTY HORRIFIC.
Maitland: IT WAS JUST A VERY MOVING EXPERIENCE.
THE MEDIUM WAS OUT IN OUR BACK PASTURE, WHERE A LOT OF SOLDIERS SEEM TO CONGREGATE.
SHE WAS TALKING TO A SOLDIER, AND ONE OF THE PEOPLE AT THE INVESTIGATION TOOK A PICTURE.
WE SAW LATER THAT THERE WAS A LARGE ORB QUITE CLOSE TO HER.
I TRULY BELIEVE THAT THE ORB WAS THE SPIRIT OF THE SOLDIER.
THE MEDIUM ALSO TALKED TO A WORLD WAR II VETERAN WHO WAS IN THE HOUSE.
I SAID, "WHAT IS A WORLD WAR II VET DOING IN MY HOUSE?" HE SAID HIS GRANDPARENTS LIVED THERE AND HE ALWAYS LOVED VISITING THE FARM.
IT WAS ONE OF HIS FAVORITE PLACES TO BE.
WHEN THE GUY WHO WAS DOING THE EVP WAS AT THE HOUSE, HE DECIDED HE WANTED TO TRY TO TALK TO THE WORLD WAR II VET, AND HE ASKED HIM WHAT HIS OPINION OF GENERAL PATTON WAS.
Bernier: IT WAS ACTUALLY QUITE AMAZING.
THIS WAS MORE CLEAR THAN ANYTHING I'D EVER HEARD, AND YOU COULD REALLY HEAR HIM AND HEAR THE EMOTION IN HIS VOICE.
Maitland: WHEN THEY WERE SETTING UP FOR THE ASSAULT ON NORMANDY, THEY PUT GENERAL PATTON IN CHARGE OF SETTING UP A FAKE ARMY TO KIND OF FOOL THE ENEMY INTO THINKING THAT THE ASSAULT WAS COMING FROM SOMEWHERE ELSE.
Bernier: AFTER HEARING THE EVP, WE COULD DEFINITELY TELL THAT IT WAS THE SPIRI OF THE WORLD WAR II SOLDIER.
AFTER THE MEDIUM HAD LEFT, SHE HAD CROSSED A LO OF SPIRITS OVER, AND WE FIGURED THAT SHOULD PROBABLY BE THE END OF IT.
IN THE WEEKS FOLLOWING, THERE WAS STILL MORE EXPERIENCES, AND ONE WAS THAT MY BROTHER WAS OUT IN THE FIELD, GETTING READY TO GO HUNTING, AND HE FELT SOMETHING MASSIVE NEXT TO HIM.
HE JUST FELT A PRESENCE.
Maitland: HE LOOKED TO HIS SIDE, AND THERE WAS THIS HUGE HORSE.
IT WAS A MIST, BUT IT WAS DEFINITELY A HORSE.
Bernier: HE LOOKED DOWN THE LINE AND SAW AN ENTIRE REGIMENT OF SOLDIERS WALKING ALONG WITH HIM, AS IF THEY WERE WALKING OFF TO BATTLE.
A FEW WEEKS LATER, WE WERE OUT IN THE SAME FIELD AND DECIDED TO TAKE A PICTURE TO SEE IF WE COULD GET ANYTHING, AND A MIST APPEARED, AND YOU COULD CLEARLY SEE THAT IT WAS THE OUTLINE OF A HORSE.
Maitland: IT WAS VERY CLEARLY A VERY LARGE HORSE'S HEAD, AND YOU COULD CLEARLY SEE THE MANE COMING DOWN THE SIDE.
THAT JUST VALIDATED THAT WHAT BRANDON SAW WAS REAL.
FOR MANY YEARS, I HAD REALLY JUST DISMISSED ANYTHING THAT HAPPENED IN THE HOUSE BECAUSE I WAS TOO AFRAID TO KNOW IF THERE WAS SOMETHING GOING ON IN MY HOUSE.
AFTER REVIEWING ALL THE EVIDENCE AND LISTENING TO THE EVP I TRULY BELIEVE THAT WHAT IS HAPPENING IN MY HOUSE IS PARANORMAL.
Marcus: I MOVED ONTO A HAUNTED PLANTATION.
Parlor: JAMIE IS IN REAL DANGER THERE.
THE SPIRIT HAS WHITE HAIR.
Marcus: I CAPTURED THE PICTURE OF A LADY THAT WE CALL THE BLUE LADY.
THAT MADE ME GET PHYSICALLY ILL.
Marcus: APRIL DID CATCH A PHOTO.
Parlor: THE SPIRIT HAS WHITE HAIR.
Marcus: I CAPTURED THE PICTURE OF A LADY THAT WE CALL THE BLUE LADY.
MY GHOST STORY BEGAN WHEN I MOVED ONTO A HAUNTED PLANTATION.
IT'S A 53-ACRE PROPERTY BUILT AROUND 1910.
IT'S SURROUNDED BY FOREST.
THE CLOSEST NEIGHBOR I HAVE IS ABOUT A HALF-MILE DOWN IN THE MEADOW.
THE FIRST EXPERIENCE I HAD WASN'T TOO LONG AFTER I MOVED THERE.
I WAS STANDING IN MY DINING ROOM.
MY FRONT DOOR OPENED.
[ DOOR CREAKS .]
AND IT CLOSED.
I COULD FEEL THIS VERY TALL ENERGY COME PAST ME.
AND THEN IT DISAPPEARED INTO THE DINING ROOM.
IT WAS A VERY STRONG, MASCULINE ENERGY.
IT MADE ME REALIZE THAT IT WAS A PARANORMAL SPIRIT.
THE MOST FRIGHTENING EXPERIENCE I'VE HAD IN THAT HOUSE WAS THE DAY I WAS DOING DISHES.
I FEL THIS REALLY HEAVY PRESENCE.
I TURNED AROUND.
AND THERE'S A BLACK SHADOW STANDING THERE.
THE MINUTE I MADE EYE CONTACT WITH IT, IT LUNGED FORWARD, AND IT HIT THROUGH ME, LIKE THERE WAS A BARRIER THERE AND IT HAD TO PUSH.
THAT MADE ME GET PHYSICALLY ILL.
AFTER THIS EXPERIENCE, I DECIDED TO RESEARCH ON MY PROPERTY, AND WHAT I FOUND THROUGH COURT RECORDS IS A LANDOWNER NAMED ISAAC YOUNG.
HE WAS LISTED AS A SLAVE OWNER.
I BELIEVE HE WOULD HAVE BEEN A VERY DOMINATING PERSON.
THE SPIRIT THAT WENT THROUGH ME, I BELIEVE, IS A SPIRIT OF A SLAVE.
HE WAS ALWAYS THERE TO SERVE ISAAC'S WIFE, SO I THINK HE HAS SOME KIND OF BOND WITH ME BECAUSE I AM THE WIFE IN THE HOUSE.
AFTER LEARNING THE HISTORY OF MY PLANTATION, A FRIEND OF MINE GOT ME IN CONTACT WITH APRIL PARLOR, WHO IS A MEDIUM.
Parlor: WHEN JAMIE CALLED ME, I BEGAN GETTING VISIONS AND IMPRESSIONS.
AND I TOLD HER THAT I WAS FEELING THAT THERE WAS FIVE ENTITIES THAT WERE ENTERING HER HOUSE.
ONE WAS PARTICULARLY DARK.
FOUR OF THEM WERE SLAVES.
ONE WAS A WHITE MALE, PARTICULARLY CRUEL.
THEY WERE ALL COMING IN AND OUT OF HER HOME.
Marcus: WE DECIDED THAT SHE WOULD COME OUT TO THE PROPERTY, AND WE WOULD DO AN INVESTIGATION.
Parlor: I HAD MY SON, MICHAEL, AND HIS GIRLFRIEND, JESSICA, COME TO TAKE PHOTOS.
WE CAME UP UPON A LITTLE HOUSE.
WE FELT BEING WATCHED IMMEDIATELY.
THERE WAS DARKNESS EVERYWHERE ON THIS PROPERTY.
WITHIN THREE MINUTES OF GETTING OUT OF THE S.
U.
V.
, MICHAEL WAS SHOVED.
JESSICA WAS SCRATCHED.
IT RAKED ACROSS HER UPPER BACK AND ACROSS HER SHOULDERS AND HER NECK.
IT WAS ON.
WE WEREN'T WELCOME THERE.
WE WEREN'T WANTED THERE.
I'D NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT.
Marcus: WHEN I LOOKED AND I SAW THE SCRATCHES ON HER SHOULDER, I WAS JUST VERY, VERY SURPRISED AND SHOCKED.
Parlor: I THOUGHT, IF THIS IS HOW IT'S GONNA BE, OH, MY GOD, WHAT IS IT GONNA BE LIKE THE REST OF THE NIGHT? I TOLD MICHAEL AND JESSICA TO START TAKING PICTURES UP NEAR THE HOUSE FOR REFERENCES.
JAMIE AND I WERE GONNA GO DOWN BY THE OLD BARN.
I WENT INTO THE BARN, AND I COULD FEEL THE SLAVES HOVERING.
AND I SAID, "I'M NOT HERE TO HURT YOU.
I'M HERE TO TALK TO YOU.
I'M HERE TO HELP SET YOU FREE.
" [ DOOR CREAKS .]
"DO YOU WANT TO BE FREE?" AND I HEARD, "YES.
" THAT SLAVE MASTER HOLDS THEM THERE.
AS HE HELD THEM IN LIFE, HE HOLDS THEM IN DEATH, AND THAT MAKES I EVEN MORE SCARY.
AFTER THAT, WE MADE OUR WAY UP TO THE HOUSE.
YOU HAD TO CONSTANTLY TURN AROUND AND LOOK BEHIND YOU BECAUSE IT FELT LIKE SOMEBODY WAS RIGHT THERE.
IT'S FRIGHTENING.
WAITING FOR THEM TO POUNCE -- AND THEN I STAR TAKING PICTURES.
Marcus: APRIL DID CATCH A PHOTO OF A VERY TALL MAN'S SPIRI IN THE TREE LINE, LOOKING OUT, LIKE HE WAS OVERSEEING HIS LAND.
THIS IS WHO WE FEEL IS ISAAC YOUNG.
Parlor: WE STARTED DOING INVESTIGATION IN THE HOUSE, WHERE I CALL OUT TO ANYTHING THAT'S IN THERE TO COME FORWARD AND PLEASE TALK TO US.
IS ANYONE HERE WITH US? LET US KNOW THAT YOU'RE HERE.
WE HAD BEEN SNAPPING PICTURES, AND I FEEL A PRESENCE.
Marcus: THAT'S WHEN I CAPTURED THE PICTURE OF A LADY THAT WE CALL THE BLUE LADY.
YOU CAN SEE HER HAIRLINE, HER EYES, HER NOSE.
Parlor: SHE HAD THIS TERRIFIED LOOK ON HER FACE, LIKE SHE WAS SCREAMING.
BEHIND HER WAS THIS MONSTER THING CHASING HER.
Marcus: I FEEL LIKE WHAT WAS CHASING HER WAS SOME EVIL SPIRIT.
Parlor: SHE WAS LOOKING FOR HELP, OBVIOUSLY.
Marcus: THE PHOTO THAT WE SNAPPED JUST SECONDS BEFORE THA HAD A LOT OF DISTORTION.
SPIRITS, BEFORE THEY ACTUALLY MANIFEST, HAVE TO BUILD ENERGY UP.
THAT PICTURE SHOWS THE MANIFESTATION OF THAT ENERGY RIGHT BEFORE SHE APPEARED.
THAT REALLY GAVE ME A JOLT INSIDE.
AFTER DARK, WE WENT OUTSIDE, AND WE WERE SNAPPING PHOTOGRAPHS, SEEING WHAT WE CATCH.
THE FIRST PHOTOGRAPH WE CAUGHT WAS BY MY FIRE PIT.
WE CAUGHT TWO GLOWING EYES.
Parlor: I'M FEELING A LITTLE FRIGHTENED TO TAKE STEPS FORWARD.
Marcus: WE PROCEEDED TO MOVE ALONG TOWARDS THE BARN.
THERE, WE SNAPPED A SECOND SHO OF THE SAME GLOWING EYES.
Parlor: YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT'S BEHIND THOSE EYES, AND THAT MAKES I EVEN MORE SCARY.
OH, MY GOD.
WHAT ARE THOSE EYES ATTACHED TO? THEY'RE TOO TALL TO BE ANY ANIMAL, BUT THEY SEEM TO APPEAR IN SEVERAL OF THE PHOTOGRAPHS, AS THOUGH THEY'RE FOLLOWING US.
THE EYES IN THE PHOTOGRAPH COULD BE ISAAC YOUNG'S.
THEY'RE JUST REALLY, REALLY, REALLY CREEPY.
AFTER ALL MY EXPERIENCES AND REVIEWING ALL THE EVIDENCE, CRUELTY CAN EXIST ON ALL LEVELS, EVEN AFTER DEATH.
I'M BOUND TO GO BACK TO THAT PROPERTY.
I FEEL LIKE I HAVE TO.
JAMIE'S IN REAL DANGER THERE.
Marcus: I DON'T BELIEVE ISAAC WILL LEAVE THE PROPERTY, BECAUSE HE'S ALWAYS BEEN THERE, AND I DON'T THINK HE'S WILLING TO LEAVE THE PROPERTY.
Larry: THEY'RE THERE, AND WE HAVE TO RECOGNIZE IT.
Denice: IT WAS DEFINITELY A BAD ENTITY.
Hoffman: I CAUGHT THE FIGURE OF A SOLDIER.
YOU CAN ACTUALLY SEE HIM DISSIPATE.
THAT WAS THE MOST COMPELLING EVIDENCE I HAVE EVER SEEN.
Bernier: IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT, A MIST APPEARED, AND YOU COULD CLEARLY SEE THA IT WAS THE OUTLINE OF A HORSE.
Maitland: WHAT IS HAPPENING IN MY HOUSE IS PARANORMAL.
Marcus: WE CAUGHT TWO GLOWING EYES.
Parlor: YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT'S BEHIND THOSE EYES, AND THAT MAKES I EVEN MORE SCARY.
King: SOMETHING SMASHED INTO MY DOOR AT FULL FORCE.
Starks: I FEARED FOR THE LIFE OF MY CHILD WHEN HE LIVED THERE.
I WAS AFRAID THAT WHATEVER WAS THERE WAS GOING TO KILL HIM.
Starks: AS HE WALKS AWAY, YOU SEE THAT CAMERA SHIF BY ITSELF.
King: SOMETHING SAT ACROSS ME AND WAS BREATHING ON MY FACE.
Starks: I WAS AFRAID THAT WHATEVER WAS THERE WAS GOING TO KILL HIM.
MY GHOST STORY BEGAN AT MY MOTHER'S HOUSE IN SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH.
IT'S A PRETTY QUIE NEIGHBORHOOD.
IT'S OLDER.
I BELIEVE MY MOTHER BOUGH THE HOUSE AROUND 50 YEARS AGO.
IT'S VERY LARGE.
IT'S TWO STORIES, SEVEN BEDROOMS, AND THEN UP THE STAIRS IS AN APARTMEN THAT WAS BUILT ON TOP OF THE HOUSE.
King: MY GRANDMOTHER'S HOME IS VERY OMINOUS.
THERE'S A HEAVINESS, IS HOW I DESCRIBE IT.
Starks: IF YOU HAVE ANY KIND OF A SENSITIVE FEELING TOWARDS DARK ENERGY, YOU CAN FEEL IT RIGH WHEN YOU WALK IN THE HOUSE, BUT THERE'S CERTAIN AREAS OF THE HOUSE WHERE YOU CAN DEFINITELY FEEL IT.
YOU WANT MY PERSONAL OPINION OF THAT HOUSE? I'M SCARED TO DEATH OF IT.
I FEARED FOR THE LIFE OF MY CHILD WHEN HE LIVED THERE BECAUSE I WAS AFRAID THAT WHATEVER WAS THERE WAS GOING TO KILL HIM.
I MOVED OUT, AND MY SON WAS 18.
HE CHOSE TO STAY THERE.
King: WHEN I MOVED INTO THE ROOM, THE FIRST FEW NIGHTS WERE FINE, BUT AFTER MAYBE A WEEK, IT BECAME VERY CLEAR TO ME THAT SOMETHING WAS VERY, VERY WRONG.
ONE NIGHT, I WENT UPSTAIRS INTO THE APARTMEN TO WASH UP FOR DINNER.
WHILE I WAS WASHING MY HANDS, THE DOOR HANDLE STARTED TO JIGGLE, LIKE SOMEONE HAD GRABBED IT AND SORT OF GAVE IT A LITTLE TWIST.
WHEN I WENT TO OPEN THE DOOR, IT HAD FLOWN OPEN IN MY FACE.
I RAN OUT, SCARED.
I HEADED TOWARDS THE DOWNSTAIRS, AND I COULD HEAR FOOTSTEPS ALL THE WAY TO THE STAIRS.
IT SOUNDED LIKE A VERY BIG MAN WAS RUNNING BEHIND ME.
I FIGURED, YOU KNOW, IF THIS HOUSE IS HAUNTED, THEN IT'S HAUNTED.
I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING TO WORRY ABOUT.
A GHOST IS A GHOST.
WHAT'S THE WORST IT COULD DO? Starks: EVERYONE THAT STAYED IN THAT ROOM HAS HAD SOMETHING HAPPEN TO THEM.
King: WHEN I WAS YOUNGER, I WAS NOT FULLY AWARE OF ALL THE TRAGEDY THAT HAD HAPPENED IN THE HOUSE.
Starks: IT STARTED WITH MY BROTHER JACK.
HE DISAPPEARED FROM THE HOUSE.
A MONTH LATER, HE WAS FOUND IN THE RIVER.
WE BELIEVE IT WAS HOMICIDE.
SOME YEARS LATER, MY SISTER, WHO LIVED IN THE APARTMENT UPSTAIRS, SHE DIED OF AN INJECTION OF MORPHINE TO THE NECK.
AND THEN MY OTHER BROTHER LIVED IN THE APARTMENT UPSTAIRS.
HE DECIDED TO TAKE OFF AND LEAVE THE APARTMENT.
HE WAS STRUCK BY A CAR AND KILLED.
AND THE MOST RECENT -- MY HUSBAND AND I WERE SEPARATED, AND HE JUST NEEDED SOMEWHERE TO STAY JUST FOR THE NIGHT.
AND WE WERE STILL FRIENDS.
I LET HIM STAY, AND HE DIED THAT NIGHT IN THE HOUSE.
King: ABOUT A MONTH AFTER I HAD MOVED INTO THE ROOM, I HAD STARTED TO SEE A TALL FIGURE IN THE CORNER.
IT WAS KIND OF HUNCHED OVER.
IT WAS DARKER THAN EVEN THE DARK IN MY ROOM.
LIKE, IT STOOD OUT.
IT WAS JUST SOR OF SITTING THERE WATCHING ME ALMOST EVERY NIGHT.
I TOLD MY MOTHER ABOUT SEEING IT.
SHE THOUGHT MAYBE IT WAS A SPIRIT IN THE HOUSE, BUT WE DIDN'T REALLY KNOW A THE TIME WHAT IT WAS FOR SURE.
Starks: WHEN MY SON HAD MOVED UP INTO THAT ROOM, AT THAT POINT, IT HADN'T OCCURRED TO ME THAT MAYBE THIS THING HAD ACTUALLY HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH ALL THE DEATHS IN OUR FAMILY.
King: ONE NIGHT, MY FRIEND TRAVIS CAME OVER, AND HE'S A SKEPTIC.
HE DOES NOT BELIEVE IN GHOSTS OR ANY OF THAT, AND I WAS TALKING TO HIM ABOUT IT, AND HE STARTED TO SAY, YOU KNOW, "THIS ISN'T REAL.
IT'S JUST IN YOUR HEAD.
" THE NEXT THING THAT HAPPENED, WE HEARD FOOTSTEPS RUNNING UP THE STAIRS, AND SOMETHING SMASHED INTO MY DOOR AT FULL FORCE.
[ THUD .]
IT SOUNDED LIKE SOMEONE HAD TRIED TO RAM THEIR SHOULDER INTO THE DOOR AND BREAK IT DOWN.
WE BOTH JUMPED UP AND RAN OVER THERE, AND THERE WAS NO ONE AT THAT DOOR.
I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO THINK.
A COUPLE OF NIGHTS LATER, I WAS LAYING IN MY ROOM, AND I HAD HAD THIS SENSATION THAT SOMEBODY WAS IN THERE.
I HEARD FOOTSTEPS STARTING FROM THE BACK OF MY ROOM, WORK THEIR WAY TO MY BED, AND SOMETHING SAT ACROSS ME AND WAS BREATHING ON MY FACE -- VERY, VERY COLD BREATH.
MY WHOLE BODY WAS REALLY COLD.
MY HEART WAS RACING.
I COULDN'T EVEN MOVE MY EYES.
THEY WERE JUST LOCKED IN PLACE, AND I WAS PARALYZED.
I COULDN'T MOVE.
I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO.
I WANTED TO LOOK, BUT I COULDN'T.
THIS WAS A VERY TERRIFYING EXPERIENCE FOR ME.
IT'S WHAT MADE ME REALIZE THAT THERE IS SOMETHING ELSE HERE THAT I CANNOT CONTROL.
Starks: I WAS EXTREMELY WORRIED THIS DEMON WAS GOING TO TAKE MY SON AWAY FROM ME.
I HAPPENED TO MENTION TO ONE OF MY FRIENDS SOME OF THE THINGS THAT WERE GOING ON IN THE HOUSE, AND HE TOLD ME HE WAS IN A PARANORMAL RESEARCH TEAM AND WOULD BE INTERESTED IN COMING AND LOOKING AT THE HOUSE.
BEFORE THEY EVEN SET UP, THEY WALKED THROUGH THE HOUSE WITH THEIR RECORDERS, AND RIGHT OFF THE BAT, THEY PICKED UP A MAN'S VOICE THAT SAID, "KIDNAPPED.
" MY FAMILY HAS ALWAYS BELIEVED THAT THE FIRST ONE TO PASS AWAY, MY BROTHER, WAS KIDNAPPED AND MURDERED.
LATER, IN THE APARTMEN UPSTAIRS, THEY WERE ASKING QUESTIONS ABOUT MY SISTER'S DEATH.
THEY WERE TALKING AS IF THEY WERE TALKING TO HER.
"WERE YOU PUNCHED IN THE FACE? WERE YOU DRUG OUT INTO THE HALL? IS THAT WHAT HAPPENED?" AND SHE RESPONDED, "YEAH.
" MYSELF AND MY MOTHER AND MY OTHER TWO SISTERS ALL HEARD THAT EVP, AND WE WILL ALL PU ON OUR LIVES THAT THAT IS MY SISTER'S VOICE.
WE KNOW WHAT SHE SOUNDS LIKE.
THAT IS MY SISTER.
King: I DIDN'T KNOW MY AUN VERY CLOSELY, BUT SHE WAS VERY CLOSE TO MY MOTHER, AND IT WAS VERY EMOTIONAL FOR HER.
Starks: I MEAN, I STILL HAVE A HARD TIME LISTENING TO IT.
IT WAS UNLIKE ANYTHING I'VE EVER EXPERIENCED.
TO HEAR YOUR DEAD LOVED ONE COME THROUGH A VOICE RECORDER? THAT TO ME WAS JUST PHENOMENAL.
King: THE PARANORMAL TEAM SET UP CAMERAS THROUGHOUT THE HOUSE.
Starks: THE CAMERA THAT WAS SET UP IN THE ROOM AT THE TOP OF THE STAIRS WHERE MY SON WAS STAYING, WHERE THE DARK ENTITY WAS, YOU SEE ONE OF THE TEAM MEMBERS SET THE CAMERA UP, AND THE CAMERA WAS STABLE, AND AS HE WALKS AWAY, YOU SEE THAT CAMERA SHIF BY ITSELF.
King: ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS, THIS CAMERA HAD TURNED ITSELF TO THE CORNER WHERE I WOULD SEE THE TALL FIGURE.
WHATEVER WAS IN THE ROOM WAS DOING IT ON PURPOSE.
IT WAS EGGING THEM ON.
IT WAS TRYING TO GE THEIR ATTENTION.
Starks: WHEN I SAW THAT VIDEO, I KNEW WITHOUT A DOUB THAT WHAT WAS GOING ON IN THAT HOUSE WAS REAL.
ACCORDING TO THE PARANORMAL TEAM THAT CAME THERE, IT WAS A DEMONIC ENTITY THAT WAS RESIDING IN THE ROOM AT THE TOP OF THE STAIRS.
THE WAY THEY DESCRIBED IT TO ME, THE DEMONIC ENTITY IS AN ENTITY THAT'S NEVER HAD A BODY.
IT'S NOT A SPIRIT.
IT'S NOT A PERSON THAT'S DIED.
THAT IT WAS THIS ENTITY'S GOAL TO DESTROY ANYONE THAT I POSSIBLY COULD IN MY FAMILY, AND THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WAS AFTER MY SON.
THEY SAID I WOULD BE THE ONE WHO WOULD HAVE TO GET RID OF IT.
I WAS INSTRUCTED TO TRAP IT IN A MIRROR AND DISPOSE OF I IN A PROPER WAY OFF OF THE PROPERTY, WHERE I WOULD NEVER BE ABLE TO RETURN.
A COUPLE OF DAYS LATER, I TOOK A BLANKET, AND I TOOK A MIRROR ABOU MAYBE THREE FEET BY TWO FEET.
AND I TOOK IT UP TO THAT ROOM, AND I CLOSED THE DOOR.
I'M NOT GONNA LIE.
I WAS TERRIFIED.
I WAS ABSOLUTELY TERRIFIED.
I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT I WAS UP AGAINST.
I KNEW THIS THING WAS VERY POWERFUL.
BUT I ALSO KNEW THAT I LOVED MY SON ENOUGH THAT THIS THING WAS NOT GOING TO WIN.
I WAS GOING TO DO WHATEVER IT TOOK TO PROTECT MY SON AND GET RID OF IT.
I PROPPED THE MIRROR UP, LAID THE BLANKET ON THE FLOOR, AND I SAT AND CHALLENGED IT.
I COMMANDED IT TO GE INTO THE MIRROR AND THAT HE COULD FIGHT ME AS LONG AS HE WANTED, BUT HE WAS NOT GONNA WIN.
ALL OF A SUDDEN, I SAW HIM JUS BEFORE HE WENT INTO THE MIRROR.
IT WAS ABOU EIGHT FEET TALL, BLACK, BUT NOT SOLID -- LIKE A SHADOW.
WHEN I LOOKED FOR A FACE, THERE WAS NO FACE.
IT WAS JUST BLACK.
I WAS ABSOLUTELY HORRIFIED.
I SAW HIM GO INTO THE MIRROR, AND I GRABBED THE MIRROR, AND I HURRIED, AND I SLAMMED I FACE DOWN ONTO THE BLANKET, AND I TIED IT UP.
THE MIRROR WEIGHED A LOT MORE WHEN I PICKED IT UP.
IT WAS NOT THE SAME WEIGHT.
IT WEIGHED A WHOLE LOT MORE.
CARRIED IT OUT TO MY CAR, PUT IT IN THE TRUNK, DROVE IT WAY OFF THE PROPERTY.
I TOOK THE MIRROR AND SMASHED I ONTO THE PAVEMENT.
[ GLASS SHATTERS .]
King: I WENT BACK TO THE HOUSE, AND THE AIR WAS LIGHTER.
THERE WAS SUCH A RELIEF IN THE WHOLE HOUSE.
Starks: I DIDN'T TELL HIM WHAT I WAS DOING.
AND HE SAID, "MOM, WHAT DID YOU DO TO THE HOUSE? THE HOUSE IS DIFFERENT.
IT'S NOT SCARY ANYMORE.
" King: I WAS VERY GRATEFUL THAT MY MOTHER WOULD GO TO THE LENGTHS THAT SHE DID FOR ME, BECAUSE I KNOW HOW TRAUMATIC AND HARD THIS WAS FOR HER, ESPECIALLY WITH THE PAST TRAGEDIES THA SHE'S BEEN THROUGH.
Starks: ALL OF THESE EXPERIENCES, I HAVE A COMPLETELY DIFFEREN OUTLOOK ON LIFE.
I DON'T TAKE LIFE FOR GRANTED.
I DON'T TAKE PEOPLE THAT I LOVE FOR GRANTED.
TO SOMEONE THAT DOESN' BELIEVE IN DEMONS OR THEIR ABILITY TO BE ABLE TO HARM YOU OR INFLUENCE YOU, YOU DON'T HAVE TO BELIEVE ME OR MY STORY, BECAUSE I DIDN' BELIEVE IT EITHER UNTIL IT HAPPENED TO ME.
Denice: THERE'S CHILDREN'S SPIRITS IN MY STORE.
Larry: YOU CAN SEE AN ORB FLY OUT, AND THE FLASHLIGH JUST TURNS ON.
Denice: WE DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO THINK OF THAT.
WE HAVE NEVER FEL ANYTHING SO STRONG.
Larry: THAT VOICE WAS EVIL.
Denice: AND THIS ORB WEN ACROSS THE FLASHLIGHT, AND THE FLASHLIGHT CAME ON.
Larry: THE EVIL SPIRI IS NOT PLEASED.
MY GHOST STORY BEGAN WHEN I MOVED TO ST.
AUGUSTINE, FLORIDA.
I AM PART OWNER OF A STORE CALLED ANTIQUES AND UNIQUES COLLECTIBLES IN ST.
AUGUSTINE.
WHEN WE FIRST SAW THE SHOP, WE PASSED BY I ON A TOURIST TRAIN THAT GOES BY AT ABOUT FIVE MILES AN HOUR.
AT THE TIME, WHEN WE WERE PASSING BY THAT STORE, I LOOKED AT IT AND TOLD MY WIFE, "WE HAVE TO GET BACK HERE.
" Denice: WE WERE TOTALLY DRAWN TO THE STORE.
WE KNEW IT WAS OURS FOR SOME REASON.
WE DIDN'T UNDERSTAND AT THA TIME WHAT THAT ACTUALLY MEANT, BUT WE WERE JUST FASCINATED WITH IT.
Larry: WE CONTINUED TO GO TO ST.
AUGUSTINE FOR ALMOST 12 YEARS, BUT IT WAS BECAUSE I THOUGH WE JUST WANTED TO GO THERE.
AT THE TIME, IT DIDN'T OCCUR TO ME THAT PERHAPS THERE WAS SOMETHING ELSE DRAWING US TO THE CITY.
I PERSONALLY HAVE BEEN A SKEPTIC MOST OF MY LIFE, WHEN IT COMES TO BELIEVING IN SPIRITS.
MY WIFE, DENICE, IS EXTREMELY SENSITIVE TO THINGS GOING ON AROUND HER.
SHE UNDERSTANDS THINGS AND FEELS THINGS THAT PERHAPS ARE BEYOND MY FEELINGS AND UNDERSTANDINGS.
Denice: WHEN LARRY AND I OPENED THE STORE AND WE ACTUALLY WALKED IN AS OWNERS, I PRETTY MUCH KNEW IMMEDIATELY THAT THERE WAS CHILDREN'S SPIRITS IN THE STORE.
Larry: I LIKE TO NAP IN THE AFTERNOON SOMETIMES FOR A HALF-HOUR TO AN HOUR, AND WHAT I WOULD DO IS GO INTO THE BACK ROOM, AND MY WIFE WILL STAY AT THE FRONT OF THE STORE.
AND I WAS SOUND ASLEEP IN THE BACK ROOM, AND I WOKE UP.
AND I'M LOOKING STRAIGHT AHEAD.
THERE WAS A WHITE MIS THAT HAD FORMED THERE.
AND IT APPEARED TO BE IN THE SHAPE OF A MAN.
THIS MIST WAS STARING STRAIGHT AT ME.
AND THIS WENT ON FOR ABOUT 30 SECONDS.
AND THEN IT WAS GONE.
THAT UNNERVED ME.
I BEGAN TO REALIZE PERHAPS I SHOULD BE A LITTLE MORE OPEN-MINDED TO UNDERSTANDING THAT THERE WERE SPIRITUAL ELEMENTS THAT I HAD NEVER INVESTIGATED BEFORE.
WE HAD A PSYCHIC MEDIUM WHO CAME TO THE STORE ON HER OWN VOLITION.
SHE JUST SHOWED UP ONE DAY.
SHE JUST SAID SHE WAS DRAWN TO THE STORE.
Denice: SHE TOLD ME THAT SHE WAS A MEDIUM, AND I SAID, "WELL, THE STORE IS OPEN.
"WHEREVER YOU WANT TO GO, WHEREVER YOU FEEL DRAWN, GO THAT WAY.
" AND, OF COURSE, SHE WEN RIGHT TO THE BACK ROOM WHERE LARRY SAW THE APPARITION OF THE MAN.
APRIL BEGAN CHANNELING SPIRITS THAT WERE IN THERE.
THE FIRST VISION THAT CAME TO HER WAS OF A MALICIOUS, MEAN MAN THAT'S STUCK IN THE BACK OF THE STORE, AND HE HAD ACTUALLY TAKEN FOUR CHILDREN FROM THEIR PARENTS AND HELD THEM CAPTIVE IN THAT AREA, SEXUALLY MOLESTING THEM, AND EVENTUALLY KILLING ALL OF THEM.
SHE'S ALSO TELLING ME ONE PROMINENT FEATURE WAS THAT HE HAD A SCAR FROM THE CENTER OF HIS CHEEK TO THE CENTER OF HIS CHIN.
AND AT THAT POINT, APRIL AND I HEARD AN EXTREMELY LOUD CRASH.
[ CLATTER .]
Larry: I WAS SITTING IN THE FRONT OF THE STORE, WHERE WE HAVE OUR POINT-OF-SALE COMPUTER.
THERE WAS A GUST OF WIND, VERY STRONG, AND IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWED BY A LOUD CRASH.
[ CLATTER .]
Denice: AS WE COME OUT OF THE ROOM, A MANNEQUIN THAT WE'VE HAD STANDING BACK THERE FOR OVER A YEAR WAS LAYING ON THE FLOOR.
I PICKED THE MANNEQUIN UP TO STAND HIM BACK UP, AND THE ENTIRE TIP OF THE MANNEQUIN'S NOSE WAS GONE, AND THE ONLY DEN ON THIS MANNEQUIN'S FACE WAS FROM THE CENTER OF HIS CHEEK TO THE CENTER OF HIS CHIN.
Larry: THE EVIL SPIRIT, HE WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR THAT WIND -- MAKING HIS PRESENCE KNOWN.
I THINK THE EVIL GUY VERY WELL MIGHT HAVE BEEN THE SAME PERSON THAT WAS STARING AT ME, BECAUSE I WAS IN HIS SPACE, AND LETTING US KNOW THAT HE WAS NOT HAPPY ABOUT US FINDING OUT ABOUT WHAT HE USED TO DO TO THE KIDS.
Denice: AFTER THAT, I WANTED PEOPLE TO COME IN AND INVESTIGATE.
Larry: MERILEE IS A PARANORMAL INVESTIGATOR, AND SHE CAME IN WITH A FEW OTHER INVESTIGATORS.
THEY CAME IN TO SCOPE OUT THE PLACE.
Denice: MERILEE WAS VIDEOING EVERY INCH OF THE STORE, AND SHE CAPTURED AN EVP.
Larry: THE EVP THAT WAS STARTLING BUT REVEALING WAS, "YOU'RE COMING NEXT.
" A THREAT -- A DEFINITE THREAT.
PERHAPS THE SPIRIT THAT DID THINGS THAT WERE WRONG IS NOT PLEASED THAT YOU'RE FINDING OUT ABOUT IT.
THAT VOICE WAS EVIL, AND THE EVIL SPIRI OBVIOUSLY DOESN'T WANT US INVESTIGATING FURTHER INTO HOW HE MAY HAVE HUR THOSE KIDS.
Denice: MERILEE AND I DID GO INTO THE BACK ROOM.
AND WE KIND OF SIT ON THE FLOOR.
NATURALLY, I COULDN'T SEE MERILEE AND SHE COULDN'T SEE ME BECAUSE IT WAS EXTREMELY DARK IN THERE.
AND WE HAD ACTUALLY BROUGHT IN A NEW PIECE OF EQUIPMEN CALLED THE SPIRIT BOX.
AS WE WERE SITTING ON THE FLOOR, SHE WAS DOING AN EVP SESSION.
AND THE SPIRIT BOX SAID THE WORD "MAMA.
" AND, SO, MERILEE ASKED THE SPIRIT, "DO YOU CONSIDER DENICE YOUR MAMA?" IMMEDIATELY, A WOMAN'S VOICE SAYS "YES.
" HEARING THE QUESTION ALONG WITH THE ANSWER "YES" DOES VALIDATE MY THEORY THAT THERE'S CHILDREN'S SPIRITS IN MY STORE.
Larry: MY WIFE LOVES CHILDREN, SO IF THERE ARE CHILDREN'S SPIRITS REACHING OUT, THEY WOULD REACH OUT TO HER, AND SHE WOULD KNOW IT.
SHE WOULD FEEL IT, AND SHE DOES.
Denice: AS WE WERE SITTING ON THE FLOOR, I FELT A FLASH OF LIGH THAT JUST, LIKE A SNAKE, JUST SLITHERED RIGHT BESIDE ME.
AND AT THAT POINT, MERILEE AND I BOTH FELT JUST TERRORIZED.
WE WERE TOTALLY STUNNED AND SCARED.
THERE WAS DEFINITELY A BAD ENTITY.
WE HAVE NEVER FEL ANYTHING SO STRONG.
AND AT THAT POINT, WE WATCHED SOME ORBS COMING OUT OF THE WALL.
AND THERE'S ONE IN PARTICULAR THAT WAS BRIGHTER THAN MOST OF THE OTHER ORBS.
AND THIS ORB WEN ACROSS THE FLASHLIGHT, AND THE FLASHLIGHT CAME ON.
Larry: YOU CAN SEE AN ORB FLY OUT, AND THE FLASHLIGH JUST TURNS ON.
Denice: WHEN SUDDENLY THE FLASHLIGHT TURNED ON, WE DIDN'T KNOW WHA TO THINK OF THAT, EITHER.
WAS SOMEBODY THERE TO PROTECT US OR WAS SOMEBODY WARNING US TO GET OUT? I BELIEVE THERE WAS A GOOD ENTITY THAT TURNED THE FLASHLIGHT ON TO GIVE US SOME LIGH TO GET OUT OF THE ROOM.
SO, WE DECIDED TO TAKE THE SAFE ROUTE AND GET OUT OF THAT BACK ROOM.
Larry: RIGHT AFTER THAT, THE INVESTIGATOR TOOK A PHOTO IN THE BACK ROOM.
Denice: ONE OF THE INVESTIGATORS CAPTURED A PICTURE OF A WOMAN COMING OU OF THAT BACK ROOM.
SHE'S STANDING IN FRON OF LOUVER DOORS.
YOU CAN SEE HER FACE.
SHE IS AN OLDER GIRL SPIRIT.
WHEN WE LOOKED AT THE PICTURE, THAT WAS THE MOMEN IT ALL CAME TOGETHER FOR ME.
SHE KNEW THAT MY EVERY BEING WAS ABOUT MAKING SURE THAT THOSE CHILDREN WERE NOT HARMED AND NOT PROVOKED AND SO FORTH, AND SO HER MESSAGE TO ME WAS THAT SHE WANTED ME TO BE HERE, AND THAT'S WHY WE'RE HERE.
ALL OF IT STARTS TO MAKE SENSE TO ME NOW.
I THINK THAT SOMETHING HORRIFIC HAPPENED TO THESE CHILDREN, AND I THINK IT'S UP TO ME TO HELP THEM GO TO THE LIGH AND GO HOME WITH THEIR PARENTS.
WE WERE DRAWN TO THAT STORE BECAUSE THE CHILDREN NEEDED HELP, AND THEY'VE BECOME VERY ATTACHED TO ME.
Larry: I STARTED OFF AS A SKEPTIC, AND I AM A BELIEVER.
IF I CAN'T EXPLAIN I PHYSICALLY, THEN IT'S NOT PHYSICAL.
IT'S SPIRITUAL.
THEY'RE THERE, AND WE HAVE TO RECOGNIZE IT.
Denice: I HAVE ENOUGH FAITH TO KNOW THAT GOOD OVERCOMES EVIL, SO I DEFINITELY THINK THAT THIS MALICIOUS MAN HE'S NOT GONNA WIN.
Kofton: THE MIDDLEBORO TOWN HALL WAS BUIL ON AN INDIAN BURIAL GROUND.
Hoffman: I CAUGH THE FIGURE OF A MAN.
YOU CAN ACTUALLY SEE HIM DISSIPATE COMPLETELY OUT OF FORM.
THE WORD BOX SAID, "BASEMENT.
" WE WERE COMPLETELY SCARED OUT OF OUR MINDS.
Hoffman: I CAUGH THE FIGURE OF A MAN.
YOU CAN ACTUALLY SEE HIM DISSIPATE COMPLETELY OUT OF FORM.
THE WORD BOX SAID, "BASEMENT.
" WE WERE COMPLETELY SCARED OUT OF OUR MINDS.
Kofton: MY GHOST STORY BEGAN WHEN I EXPERIENCED A LOT OF STRANGE HAPPENINGS AT THE MIDDLEBORO TOWN HALL.
YEARS AGO, I HAD BEEN A VIDEO TECHNICIAN, AND I WORKED AT THE MIDDLEBORO TOWN HALL, VIDEOTAPING SELECTMENS' MEETINGS AND VARIOUS THINGS LIKE THAT.
I LOVE OLD HISTORICAL PLACES, AND THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST ONES THERE IS.
THROUGHOUT THE COURSE OF WORKING THERE, A LOT OF TIMES I WOULD SEE SHADOWS.
THINGS WOULD FALL OR I'D PUT DOWN ONE OF MY TAPES, AND THEN WHEN I TURNED, IT WASN'T THERE.
THERE WERE TIMES WHEN I WAS RECORDING THE MEETINGS, AND THEN WHEN I WAS PLAYING THEM BACK, I'D HEAR ALL SORTS OF SOUNDS THAT I KNOW WEREN'T RECORDED AT THAT TIME.
I'D HEAR A GAVEL BANGING AND NONE OF THE SELECTMEN WERE USING GAVELS.
I'D HEAR A CRACKLING SOUND -- STUFF THAT DID NOT HAPPEN WHEN I WAS VIDEOTAPING THE MEETINGS.
THE ORIGINAL TOWN HALL WAS BUILT BACK 1873.
THEY TOLD ME THAT THE BUILDING HAD BURNED DOWN AT ONE POINT, AND I'M REMEMBERING THAT CRACKLING SOUND.
[ CRACKLING .]
I HAD GOOSE BUMPS, CHILLS -- JUST SPOOKED.
AT ONE POINT, I HEARD SOMEONE SAY MY NAME, AND I FELT THE BREATH, LIKE, IN THE HAIRS OF MY NECK.
BRANDT IS NOT A NAME EASILY CONFUSED WITH OTHER PEOPLE, AND NOBODY WAS THERE.
THINGS WOULD FALL THAT MADE NO SENSE, LIKE THE FLAGS DURING MEETINGS.
I'M A SKEPTIC, AND I TELL YOU, THIS STUFF WAS FOR REAL.
RACHEL HAD KNOWN THAT AT ONE POIN I WORKED AT THE MIDDLEBORO TOWN HALL, AND SHE KNEW FROM TALKING WITH ME THAT I SAW A LOT OF STRANGE THINGS HAPPENING THERE.
Hoffman: MY PARTNERS AND I GOT PERMISSION TO INVESTIGATE THE MIDDLEBORO TOWN HALL.
I REALLY WANTED TO VISI THE MIDDLEBORO TOWN HALL BECAUSE I HEARD THE SPIRITS WERE REALLY ACTIVE.
IT HAD BEEN BURNT DOWN YEARS AGO.
IT WAS ACTUALLY REBUIL INTO A JAIL, A BODY CHUTE, AND A MORGUE.
SO LATE ONE NIGHT, WE JUST WENT FOR IT.
Kofton: THERE'S A LO OF BAD HISTORY STILL THERE.
YOU COULD ALWAYS JUST RUN INTO SOMEONE THAT SAID, "YEAH, THAT PLACE IS HAUNTED.
" Hoffman: IT WAS ABOUT 6:00 P.
M.
I WAS ABSOLUTELY BLOWN AWAY BY THE MASSIVE SIZE OF THE BUILDING.
GAVE US AN EXTREMELY EERIE FEELING.
I WAS TAKING A SERIES OF PICTURES SO THAT WE COULD GE AS MUCH EVIDENCE AS POSSIBLE.
I WAS TAKING THEM WITH A THERMAL CAMERA.
AND I CAUGHT THE FIGURE OF A SOLDIER.
SO I SNAPPED A SERIES OF SHOTS, AND YOU CAN ACTUALLY SEE HIM DISSIPATE COMPLETELY OUT OF FORM.
I THINK THAT IT'S A GOOD POSSIBILITY THAT THE SOLDIER WAS THERE TO GUARD THE BUILDING.
NATIVE AMERICANS WERE ANGRY BECAUSE THE LAND WAS TAKEN FROM THEM.
Kofton: THE MIDDLEBORO TOWN HALL WAS BUIL ON AN INDIAN BURIAL GROUND.
Hoffman: SO THE DISRESPEC THAT THE WAMPANOAG INDIANS FEL KEPT COMING BACK TENFOLD ON THE TOWN HALL.
Kofton: I'M SURE THE INDIANS WEREN'T HAPPY ABOUT IT -- PAST, PRESENT, OR FUTURE.
Hoffman: I WAS COMPLETELY THROUGH THE MOON.
I COULDN'T BELIEVE THAT THIS INDIVIDUAL WAS ACTUALLY MOVING AND I WAS CATCHING THIS ON A SERIES OF SNAPSHOTS.
THAT WAS THE MOST COMPELLING EVIDENCE I HAVE EVER SEEN.
RIGHT AFTER THE BALCONY, WE HAD DECIDED TO TURN THE WORD BOX ON.
DIRECTLY AFTER, IT SEEMED TO BE CALLING ME.
THE WORD BOX SAID, "BASEMENT.
" BASEMENT.
THE BASEMENT USED TO BE A JAIL AND A MORGUE.
GOING DOWN INTO THE BASEMENT, KNOWING THAT SOME OF THE UNDERBELLY OF SOCIETY HAD PREVIOUSLY RESIDED IN THOSE CELLS, AMPED UP THE SITUATION.
WE WERE COMPLETELY SCARED OUT OF OUR MINDS.
AT ONE POINT, DOWN IN THE BASEMENT, THE WORD BOX ACTUALLY SAID, IN A MALE VOICE, A DEROGATORY TERM TOWARDS WOMEN.
I THINK IT'S A POSSIBILITY THAT THE VOICE ON THE WORD BOX WAS A MALE INMATE THAT WAS HOUSED THERE.
Kofton: THE TOWN HALL HAS A HISTORY OF MEN DOMINATING I AND RUNNING IT, AND IF YOU HAVE A WOMAN GO IN THERE, THEY ARE NOT GONNA LIKE IT.
Hoffman: MY HEART WAS BEATING OUT OF MY CHEST.
AT ONE POINT, YOU HEAR FOOTSTEPS RUNNING TOWARDS US.
BANG, BANG, BANG.
WE RAN DOWN THE HALLWAY WITH THE CAMERA TO SEE WHERE THE NOISE POSSIBLY COULD HAVE BEEN COMING FROM, AND THEN AN ORB SEEMS TO BE RUNNING IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION.
AND WHEN IT REALIZES THAT WE ARE RUNNING TOWARDS IT, IT DOUBLES BACK AND COMES BACK THE OTHER WAY.
IT WAS TERRIFYING.
AS WE WERE WRAPPING THINGS UP, WE JUST FELT LIKE SOMETHING HAD TAKEN US OVER.
IT WAS A VERY DRAINING FEELING COMING TOWARDS THE END OF THE INVESTIGATION.
WITHOUT A DOUBT, EVERYTHING THA BRANDT WAS TELLING ME WAS TRUE, FROM THE SMELL OF THE FIRE TO THE CRACKLING NOISES TO THE AUDIO INTERFERENCE.
IT WAS ALL VALIDATED IN MY EXPERIENCE.
Kofton: I HAVE NO DOUB THAT THE MIDDLEBORO TOWN HALL IS HAUNTED.
Hoffman: IT WAS ONE OF THE MOS INCREDIBLE AND ACTIVE NIGHTS OF MY ENTIRE LIFE.
Maitland: THE IMPRESSIONS THE MEDIUMS HAD IN THAT ROOM IS THAT THAT'S WHERE THE AMPUTATIONS WERE DONE.
THEY ASKED THE DOCTOR HOW MANY MEN HAD DIED, AND HIS ANSWER WAS Bernier: FOR THEM TO NOT KNOW, IT MUST HAVE BEEN PRETTY HORRIFIC.
Maitland: THE IMPRESSIONS THE MEDIUMS HAD IN THAT ROOM IS THAT THAT'S WHERE THE AMPUTATIONS WERE DONE.
THEY'D ASKED THE DOCTOR HOW MANY MEN HAD DIED, AND HIS ANSWER WAS MY GHOST STORY BEGAN WHEN I MOVED MY FAMILY INTO A HAUNTED HOUSE IN GETTYSBURG, PENNSYLVANIA.
THE HOUSE WAS ACTUALLY BUIL PREVIOUS TO THE WAR, EARLY 1800s.
WE FOUND OUT THE HOUSE HAD BEEN A CIVIL WAR FIELD HOSPITAL DIRECTLY FOLLOWING THE BATTLE OF GETTYSBURG.
IT'S A BEAUTIFUL, OLD STONE HOUSE.
I MOVED INTO IT 30 YEARS AGO.
I WAS YOUNG, HAD THREE SMALL CHILDREN.
Bernier: GROWING UP THERE WAS REALLY KIND OF FUN.
IT'S A LOT OF SPACE, AND IT WAS A REALLY NICE HOUSE.
IT'S JUST THAT SOMETIMES I DIDN'T FEEL COMFORTABLE IN CERTAIN PLACES IN THE HOUSE.
Maitland: ONE SECTION OF THE HOUSE, IT WAS A HALLWAY LEADING BACK TO THE BASEMENT DOOR.
IT WAS VERY CREEPY, VERY COLD.
Bernier: IT'S IN THE OLD PAR OF THE HOUSE -- THE CIVIL-WAR STONE PART OF THE HOUSE.
AND I WOULD ALWAYS JUST TURN THE LIGHT ON AND THEN KIND OF RUN THROUGH THAT SPACE.
AND IT WAS JUST REALLY UNCOMFORTABLE FOR ME.
Maitland: ABOUT A YEAR AFTER WE MOVED IN, WE MOVED THE BOYS INTO THE UPSTAIRS BEDROOM.
NATHAN, ABOUT AGE SIX, HE STARTED HAVING STRANGE THINGS HAPPEN.
HE WOULD COME DOWNSTAIRS AND TELL US THAT HE WOULD WAKE UP LYING ON THE FLOOR BESIDE HIS BED WITH THE BLANKETS ALL TUCKED IN AROUND HIM.
AND THERE WERE ALL THESE PEOPLE LEANING OVER HIM, LOOKING AT HIM.
WE KEPT THINKING, "WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?" AND MANY YEARS LATER, WHEN WE FOUND OUT THE HOUSE HAD BEEN A CIVIL WAR HOSPITAL, IT MADE SENSE, BECAUSE THE SOLDIERS WERE LAYING ALL OVER THE FLOOR, AND PEOPLE WALKED AROUND, LEANED OVER THEM, AND TRIED TO HELP THEM OR ASK THEM WHAT WAS WRONG WITH THEM.
SO THAT WAS OUR FIRST EXPERIENCE MANY YEARS AGO.
AFTER THAT, THERE WAS JUST MANY STRANGE FOOTSTEPS, A LOT OF NOISES.
IN ORDER FOR MY SANITY TO STAY THERE, I JUST THOUGHT, WELL, IT MUST BE THE CATS, MUST BE THE DOGS, OR THE KIDS ARE MAKING NOISE, AND OLD HOUSES MAKE NOISES.
A FEW YEARS LATER, MY DAUGHTER AND HER HUSBAND WERE ACTUALLY LIVING WITH ME AT THE TIME, AND THEY WERE THERE WITH THEIR 3-YEAR-OLD SON.
MAX HAD GOTTEN IN TROUBLE, AND HE WAS PUT ON THE STEPS INTO TIME OUT.
WE WERE IN THE OTHER ROOM, AND ALL OF A SUDDEN, THERE WAS THIS LOUD, HORRIBLE SCREAM.
WE ALL WENT RUNNING IN.
WE'RE LIKE, YOU KNOW, "WHAT HAPPENED? WHAT HAPPENED?" HE SAID, "IT'S THE BLUE MONSTER!" AND WE'RE LIKE, "HONEY, THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS A MONSTER.
" AND HE GOES, "YES! IT'S A BLUE MONSTER!" SO WE WERE ASKING HIM QUESTIONS.
WE SAID, "WELL, WHERE IS THIS BLUE MONSTER?" HE SAID, "HE'S IN THE STEPS.
" AND WE SAID, "WELL, WHAT DID THIS BLUE MONSTER LOOK LIKE?" AND HE SAID IT WAS A MAN WITH BLUE BOOTS, BLUE HAT, AND BLUE CAPE.
I COULDN'T PRETEND THAT THERE WASN'T ANYTHING HAPPENING ANYMORE.
SOMETIME AFTER THAT INCIDENT, WE JUST HAPPENED TO RUN INTO A FRIEND OF LEAH'S, AND THEY KNEW A MEDIUM.
AND WE ASKED HER IF SHE WOULD COME TO OUR HOUSE AND TRY TO FIGURE OU WHAT WAS HAPPENING.
WE HAD NOT TOLD THE MEDIUM ANY INFORMATION OR ANY STORIES THAT HAD HAPPENED IN THE HOUSE.
SHE REALLY DID NOT KNOW OUR FAMILY OR DIDN'T KNOW ANY OF THE HISTORY OF THE PROPERTY.
WE STARTED WALKING THROUGH THE HOUSE, AND SHE WENT TO THE CREEPY HALLWAY THAT WE'VE ALWAYS HATED.
SHE SAID, "THERE'S A MAN HERE WHO'S SCREAMING, 'HELP ME, HELP ME, HELP ME.
'" SHE STARTED TALKING TO HIM.
IT WAS A SOLDIER WHO HAD HAD HIS ARM BLOWN OFF, AND HE WAS CRYING FOR HELP.
SHE TRIED TO CONVINCE HIM THAT HE WAS DEAD, AND HE DIDN'T WAN TO BELIEVE HER.
SO SHE PRAYED TO GOD, AND SHE PASSED HIM OVER.
AND SINCE THEN, THAT HALLWAY IS MUCH NICER, MUCH WARMER, AND IT JUST DOESN'T HAVE THE CREEPY FEELING ANYMORE.
THE MEDIUM BROUGH A FRIEND OF HERS, BRAD, WHO IS VERY GOOD AT DOING EVP.
THEY WENT UPSTAIRS TO THE SMALLER BEDROOM.
THE IMPRESSIONS THE MEDIUMS HAD IN THAT ROOM IS THAT THAT'S WHERE THE AMPUTATIONS WERE DONE.
THEY FOUND THEY WERE TALKING TO A DOCTOR.
BRAD ASKED THE DOCTOR HOW MANY MEN HAD DIED, AND HIS ANSWER WAS, "TOO MANY TO COUNT.
" Bernier: WHEN I FIRST HEARD THAT EVP, I COULDN'T BELIEVE IT.
FOR THE DOCTOR TO SAY THERE WAS TOO MANY TO COUNT, IT MAKES YOU IMAGINE HOW MANY SOLDIERS WERE INJURED.
FOR THEM TO NOT KNOW AND TO HAVE IT NOT BE A SMALL NUMBER, IT MUST HAVE BEEN PRETTY HORRIFIC.
Maitland: IT WAS JUST A VERY MOVING EXPERIENCE.
THE MEDIUM WAS OUT IN OUR BACK PASTURE, WHERE A LOT OF SOLDIERS SEEM TO CONGREGATE.
SHE WAS TALKING TO A SOLDIER, AND ONE OF THE PEOPLE AT THE INVESTIGATION TOOK A PICTURE.
WE SAW LATER THAT THERE WAS A LARGE ORB QUITE CLOSE TO HER.
I TRULY BELIEVE THAT THE ORB WAS THE SPIRIT OF THE SOLDIER.
THE MEDIUM ALSO TALKED TO A WORLD WAR II VETERAN WHO WAS IN THE HOUSE.
I SAID, "WHAT IS A WORLD WAR II VET DOING IN MY HOUSE?" HE SAID HIS GRANDPARENTS LIVED THERE AND HE ALWAYS LOVED VISITING THE FARM.
IT WAS ONE OF HIS FAVORITE PLACES TO BE.
WHEN THE GUY WHO WAS DOING THE EVP WAS AT THE HOUSE, HE DECIDED HE WANTED TO TRY TO TALK TO THE WORLD WAR II VET, AND HE ASKED HIM WHAT HIS OPINION OF GENERAL PATTON WAS.
Bernier: IT WAS ACTUALLY QUITE AMAZING.
THIS WAS MORE CLEAR THAN ANYTHING I'D EVER HEARD, AND YOU COULD REALLY HEAR HIM AND HEAR THE EMOTION IN HIS VOICE.
Maitland: WHEN THEY WERE SETTING UP FOR THE ASSAULT ON NORMANDY, THEY PUT GENERAL PATTON IN CHARGE OF SETTING UP A FAKE ARMY TO KIND OF FOOL THE ENEMY INTO THINKING THAT THE ASSAULT WAS COMING FROM SOMEWHERE ELSE.
Bernier: AFTER HEARING THE EVP, WE COULD DEFINITELY TELL THAT IT WAS THE SPIRI OF THE WORLD WAR II SOLDIER.
AFTER THE MEDIUM HAD LEFT, SHE HAD CROSSED A LO OF SPIRITS OVER, AND WE FIGURED THAT SHOULD PROBABLY BE THE END OF IT.
IN THE WEEKS FOLLOWING, THERE WAS STILL MORE EXPERIENCES, AND ONE WAS THAT MY BROTHER WAS OUT IN THE FIELD, GETTING READY TO GO HUNTING, AND HE FELT SOMETHING MASSIVE NEXT TO HIM.
HE JUST FELT A PRESENCE.
Maitland: HE LOOKED TO HIS SIDE, AND THERE WAS THIS HUGE HORSE.
IT WAS A MIST, BUT IT WAS DEFINITELY A HORSE.
Bernier: HE LOOKED DOWN THE LINE AND SAW AN ENTIRE REGIMENT OF SOLDIERS WALKING ALONG WITH HIM, AS IF THEY WERE WALKING OFF TO BATTLE.
A FEW WEEKS LATER, WE WERE OUT IN THE SAME FIELD AND DECIDED TO TAKE A PICTURE TO SEE IF WE COULD GET ANYTHING, AND A MIST APPEARED, AND YOU COULD CLEARLY SEE THAT IT WAS THE OUTLINE OF A HORSE.
Maitland: IT WAS VERY CLEARLY A VERY LARGE HORSE'S HEAD, AND YOU COULD CLEARLY SEE THE MANE COMING DOWN THE SIDE.
THAT JUST VALIDATED THAT WHAT BRANDON SAW WAS REAL.
FOR MANY YEARS, I HAD REALLY JUST DISMISSED ANYTHING THAT HAPPENED IN THE HOUSE BECAUSE I WAS TOO AFRAID TO KNOW IF THERE WAS SOMETHING GOING ON IN MY HOUSE.
AFTER REVIEWING ALL THE EVIDENCE AND LISTENING TO THE EVP I TRULY BELIEVE THAT WHAT IS HAPPENING IN MY HOUSE IS PARANORMAL.
Marcus: I MOVED ONTO A HAUNTED PLANTATION.
Parlor: JAMIE IS IN REAL DANGER THERE.
THE SPIRIT HAS WHITE HAIR.
Marcus: I CAPTURED THE PICTURE OF A LADY THAT WE CALL THE BLUE LADY.
THAT MADE ME GET PHYSICALLY ILL.
Marcus: APRIL DID CATCH A PHOTO.
Parlor: THE SPIRIT HAS WHITE HAIR.
Marcus: I CAPTURED THE PICTURE OF A LADY THAT WE CALL THE BLUE LADY.
MY GHOST STORY BEGAN WHEN I MOVED ONTO A HAUNTED PLANTATION.
IT'S A 53-ACRE PROPERTY BUILT AROUND 1910.
IT'S SURROUNDED BY FOREST.
THE CLOSEST NEIGHBOR I HAVE IS ABOUT A HALF-MILE DOWN IN THE MEADOW.
THE FIRST EXPERIENCE I HAD WASN'T TOO LONG AFTER I MOVED THERE.
I WAS STANDING IN MY DINING ROOM.
MY FRONT DOOR OPENED.
[ DOOR CREAKS .]
AND IT CLOSED.
I COULD FEEL THIS VERY TALL ENERGY COME PAST ME.
AND THEN IT DISAPPEARED INTO THE DINING ROOM.
IT WAS A VERY STRONG, MASCULINE ENERGY.
IT MADE ME REALIZE THAT IT WAS A PARANORMAL SPIRIT.
THE MOST FRIGHTENING EXPERIENCE I'VE HAD IN THAT HOUSE WAS THE DAY I WAS DOING DISHES.
I FEL THIS REALLY HEAVY PRESENCE.
I TURNED AROUND.
AND THERE'S A BLACK SHADOW STANDING THERE.
THE MINUTE I MADE EYE CONTACT WITH IT, IT LUNGED FORWARD, AND IT HIT THROUGH ME, LIKE THERE WAS A BARRIER THERE AND IT HAD TO PUSH.
THAT MADE ME GET PHYSICALLY ILL.
AFTER THIS EXPERIENCE, I DECIDED TO RESEARCH ON MY PROPERTY, AND WHAT I FOUND THROUGH COURT RECORDS IS A LANDOWNER NAMED ISAAC YOUNG.
HE WAS LISTED AS A SLAVE OWNER.
I BELIEVE HE WOULD HAVE BEEN A VERY DOMINATING PERSON.
THE SPIRIT THAT WENT THROUGH ME, I BELIEVE, IS A SPIRIT OF A SLAVE.
HE WAS ALWAYS THERE TO SERVE ISAAC'S WIFE, SO I THINK HE HAS SOME KIND OF BOND WITH ME BECAUSE I AM THE WIFE IN THE HOUSE.
AFTER LEARNING THE HISTORY OF MY PLANTATION, A FRIEND OF MINE GOT ME IN CONTACT WITH APRIL PARLOR, WHO IS A MEDIUM.
Parlor: WHEN JAMIE CALLED ME, I BEGAN GETTING VISIONS AND IMPRESSIONS.
AND I TOLD HER THAT I WAS FEELING THAT THERE WAS FIVE ENTITIES THAT WERE ENTERING HER HOUSE.
ONE WAS PARTICULARLY DARK.
FOUR OF THEM WERE SLAVES.
ONE WAS A WHITE MALE, PARTICULARLY CRUEL.
THEY WERE ALL COMING IN AND OUT OF HER HOME.
Marcus: WE DECIDED THAT SHE WOULD COME OUT TO THE PROPERTY, AND WE WOULD DO AN INVESTIGATION.
Parlor: I HAD MY SON, MICHAEL, AND HIS GIRLFRIEND, JESSICA, COME TO TAKE PHOTOS.
WE CAME UP UPON A LITTLE HOUSE.
WE FELT BEING WATCHED IMMEDIATELY.
THERE WAS DARKNESS EVERYWHERE ON THIS PROPERTY.
WITHIN THREE MINUTES OF GETTING OUT OF THE S.
U.
V.
, MICHAEL WAS SHOVED.
JESSICA WAS SCRATCHED.
IT RAKED ACROSS HER UPPER BACK AND ACROSS HER SHOULDERS AND HER NECK.
IT WAS ON.
WE WEREN'T WELCOME THERE.
WE WEREN'T WANTED THERE.
I'D NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT.
Marcus: WHEN I LOOKED AND I SAW THE SCRATCHES ON HER SHOULDER, I WAS JUST VERY, VERY SURPRISED AND SHOCKED.
Parlor: I THOUGHT, IF THIS IS HOW IT'S GONNA BE, OH, MY GOD, WHAT IS IT GONNA BE LIKE THE REST OF THE NIGHT? I TOLD MICHAEL AND JESSICA TO START TAKING PICTURES UP NEAR THE HOUSE FOR REFERENCES.
JAMIE AND I WERE GONNA GO DOWN BY THE OLD BARN.
I WENT INTO THE BARN, AND I COULD FEEL THE SLAVES HOVERING.
AND I SAID, "I'M NOT HERE TO HURT YOU.
I'M HERE TO TALK TO YOU.
I'M HERE TO HELP SET YOU FREE.
" [ DOOR CREAKS .]
"DO YOU WANT TO BE FREE?" AND I HEARD, "YES.
" THAT SLAVE MASTER HOLDS THEM THERE.
AS HE HELD THEM IN LIFE, HE HOLDS THEM IN DEATH, AND THAT MAKES I EVEN MORE SCARY.
AFTER THAT, WE MADE OUR WAY UP TO THE HOUSE.
YOU HAD TO CONSTANTLY TURN AROUND AND LOOK BEHIND YOU BECAUSE IT FELT LIKE SOMEBODY WAS RIGHT THERE.
IT'S FRIGHTENING.
WAITING FOR THEM TO POUNCE -- AND THEN I STAR TAKING PICTURES.
Marcus: APRIL DID CATCH A PHOTO OF A VERY TALL MAN'S SPIRI IN THE TREE LINE, LOOKING OUT, LIKE HE WAS OVERSEEING HIS LAND.
THIS IS WHO WE FEEL IS ISAAC YOUNG.
Parlor: WE STARTED DOING INVESTIGATION IN THE HOUSE, WHERE I CALL OUT TO ANYTHING THAT'S IN THERE TO COME FORWARD AND PLEASE TALK TO US.
IS ANYONE HERE WITH US? LET US KNOW THAT YOU'RE HERE.
WE HAD BEEN SNAPPING PICTURES, AND I FEEL A PRESENCE.
Marcus: THAT'S WHEN I CAPTURED THE PICTURE OF A LADY THAT WE CALL THE BLUE LADY.
YOU CAN SEE HER HAIRLINE, HER EYES, HER NOSE.
Parlor: SHE HAD THIS TERRIFIED LOOK ON HER FACE, LIKE SHE WAS SCREAMING.
BEHIND HER WAS THIS MONSTER THING CHASING HER.
Marcus: I FEEL LIKE WHAT WAS CHASING HER WAS SOME EVIL SPIRIT.
Parlor: SHE WAS LOOKING FOR HELP, OBVIOUSLY.
Marcus: THE PHOTO THAT WE SNAPPED JUST SECONDS BEFORE THA HAD A LOT OF DISTORTION.
SPIRITS, BEFORE THEY ACTUALLY MANIFEST, HAVE TO BUILD ENERGY UP.
THAT PICTURE SHOWS THE MANIFESTATION OF THAT ENERGY RIGHT BEFORE SHE APPEARED.
THAT REALLY GAVE ME A JOLT INSIDE.
AFTER DARK, WE WENT OUTSIDE, AND WE WERE SNAPPING PHOTOGRAPHS, SEEING WHAT WE CATCH.
THE FIRST PHOTOGRAPH WE CAUGHT WAS BY MY FIRE PIT.
WE CAUGHT TWO GLOWING EYES.
Parlor: I'M FEELING A LITTLE FRIGHTENED TO TAKE STEPS FORWARD.
Marcus: WE PROCEEDED TO MOVE ALONG TOWARDS THE BARN.
THERE, WE SNAPPED A SECOND SHO OF THE SAME GLOWING EYES.
Parlor: YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT'S BEHIND THOSE EYES, AND THAT MAKES I EVEN MORE SCARY.
OH, MY GOD.
WHAT ARE THOSE EYES ATTACHED TO? THEY'RE TOO TALL TO BE ANY ANIMAL, BUT THEY SEEM TO APPEAR IN SEVERAL OF THE PHOTOGRAPHS, AS THOUGH THEY'RE FOLLOWING US.
THE EYES IN THE PHOTOGRAPH COULD BE ISAAC YOUNG'S.
THEY'RE JUST REALLY, REALLY, REALLY CREEPY.
AFTER ALL MY EXPERIENCES AND REVIEWING ALL THE EVIDENCE, CRUELTY CAN EXIST ON ALL LEVELS, EVEN AFTER DEATH.
I'M BOUND TO GO BACK TO THAT PROPERTY.
I FEEL LIKE I HAVE TO.
JAMIE'S IN REAL DANGER THERE.
Marcus: I DON'T BELIEVE ISAAC WILL LEAVE THE PROPERTY, BECAUSE HE'S ALWAYS BEEN THERE, AND I DON'T THINK HE'S WILLING TO LEAVE THE PROPERTY.
