He starts to panic.

♪♪

My heart rate increased.

I began to sweat.

I began to be very paranoid

of my surroundings.

♪♪

Something walked into the room

where I was alone.

You could hear the dirt

being kicked around.

It sounded like somebody

was right up next to the mic.

♪♪

I witnessed images

of people standing around me.

You can't really make out faces.

You can't really

make out details.

These reddish images

of these people

standing right in front of me,

so it was frightening.

On this particular instance,

I'm definitely feeling

an emotion of anger,

confusion, disorientation,

and I'm also hearing sounds.

♪♪

Marie comes through the door,

and she's trying

to get my attention.

♪♪

I'm probably not even

feet away from him.

I said, "Jay."

He didn't respond.

Jay?

NARRATOR: Marie worries

for her husband's safety

and decides to interrupt

the experiment.

Jay!

Jay! Jay?

MARIE: I did tap him on his leg

to try to get his attention.

Aah!

And I rip off my goggles,

and here, Marie is standing

in front of me,

so I kind of had

this emotional reaction.

Aah!

I startled him very badly.

Definitely was something

that was disorienting,

to the point of almost

nausea and sickness.

NARRATOR: With increased

activity and Jay's unsteadiness,

it's far too risky

to continue on.

We need

to get out of here.

Oh [bleep]

♪♪

Let's go.

Go, go, go, go, go.

♪♪

NARRATOR:

When they're back aboveground,

they review their footage.

It confirms

what Jay had sensed all along.

I legitimately had

what appears to be

a supernatural occurrence.

♪♪

By the end of the investigation,

I really felt

that the opium dens did harbor

intelligent spiritual energy

and that they were

in fact haunted.

NARRATOR:

The events to this day

still weigh on Jay and Marie.

♪♪

JAY: There are several dangers

within this den and tunnel.

I feel that if we would

have stayed longer at

the investigation,

you're gonna get hurt

by this spirit.

I wasn't willing to risk myself

or Marie's safety.

NARRATOR:

This investigation has left them

with more questions

than answers.

I think we'd both

be willing to go back there

and give it another go.

Specifically, I would

like to know who it was

that touched or attempted

to att*ck Marie.

-Ow!

-What's wrong?

-God. What's --

-Ow! Mm!

And was the same person

that was messing with me

the same person

that was messing with Jay?

Aah!
