Something was hunting me

NARRATOR: Hardened veterans

these are the cases

that truly tested them.

I don't think I was

ready for this.

In Ohio, a dangerous spirit

threatens a team

of investigators.

On his right.

I was getting worried.

I was nervous.

What if that spirit was strong

enough to pick up that Kn*fe?

NARRATOR: In Massachusetts,

a quiet suburban life shatters

when evil moves in.

WOMAN: Dead in the swamp.

I started to get

just a lot of anxiety

and this, like, feeling of,

"Get out of here. Leave."

NARRATOR: And a popular haunted

attraction reveals itself

to be an actual

house of horrors.

Shadow figures walking around.

Were you m*rder*d by a man?

There's, like, invisible kids.

This could be something

more than just a spook house.

James Engle.

James walked over to

Some of the employees,

Karlo's team includes

Chris Page and Amy Cobb.

They begin their investigation

right away.

ZUZIC: When I first stepped

in the building,

I was a little worried,

you could say, just because

I didn't know what I was

going to come across.

Is it going to be James?

Is it going to be Emily?

You just don't know until

you start the investigation.

But it had a weird,

weird feeling to it.

NARRATOR:

Chris is also apprehensive.

PAGE: An entity such as James,

I believe,

is completely dangerous.

That's a lot of rage to b*at

someone into unconsciousness,

strangle them,

pull out a Kn*fe.

That's a lot of

tremendous hatred

that is put into

one location,

and to still feel that

years later,

it's shocking.

NARRATOR:

The team splits up.

Chris heads to the basement,

while Karlo and Amy

investigate upstairs.

During the investigation,

I had the Ovilus device.

It picks up energy.

It puts the energy into numbers,

and each number

has a word to it,

and I figured

I'd decide to use it

to see what kind of answers

I would get.

I'm walking around

with a night-vision camera,

and I was asking

specific questions.

What was your favorite

book to read?

And the Ovilus kicks out Bible.

-Bible.

-Huh?

-Bible.

-Bible?

I just asked, "What was

your favorite book to read?"

I know.

And I got Bible.

And I was kind of shocked

hearing that,

because I'm getting a specific

answer right off the bat.

Maybe, like, feet

in front of me,

I see a Bible sitting there.

COBB: Oh, wow.

[ Chuckles ]

Awesome.

[ Rustling ]

So you're in here with us?

ZUZIC:

James, when he was in prison,

his favorite book to read

was the Bible.

This could be James.

Now you're on guard.

NARRATOR:

Down in the basement,

Chris notices the atmosphere

change as he approaches the spot

where Emily

took her last breath.

PAGE: You feel a sense of fear

starting to come upon you.

You know that there's probably

somebody lurking in the shadows,

but they're just

not coming out.

They're just watching.

[ Creaking ]

You almost feel

as if James is standing

right next to you,

watching you.

NARRATOR: After their own eerie

encounter upstairs,

Karlo and Amy

go to check on Chris.

ZUZIC: The moment where

I enter that basement,

you could feel

the different energy there.

NARRATOR: Karlo and Amy find

Chris and a disturbing scene.

In order to lure

James's spirit out,

I decided to do probably

the craziest thing

I've ever done

on an investigation.

Extreme times call

for extreme measures.

I laid there

on the cold concrete

where Emily's body was

with a Kn*fe on my chest,

and I asked him

to come and att*ck me.

Here. Take this Kn*fe.

And you're feeling

the coldness

creeping into your bones

of that concrete.

This was the last feeling,

also, that Emily was feeling.

And then you worry, you know,

can he cause two deaths?

Can he cause one

when he was alive,

and can he m*rder in death?

Come on, you coward.

Ready to m*rder, aren't you?

♪♪

NARRATOR:

In Bryan, Ohio,

investigators hunt

for the ghost of a m*rder*r

haunting the Williams County

Public Library.

They use extreme tactics

to seek him out.

PAGE: I laid there

on the cold concrete,

and I asked him

to come and att*ck me.

Ready to m*rder, aren't you?

I see Chris laying there,

on the floor, and I was like,

"Oh, no. What's he doing?"

you know?

And I knew, at that moment,

he's using himself

as a trigger object.

-Are you making this up?

-Chris, this isn't a good idea.

A trigger object session

consists of things

that the spirits are going

to be familiar with.

It could be very dangerous

to be a trigger object

just because, you know,

the spirit could pull enough

energy and lash out at you.

I was waiting for any moment

for James

to strike out

and do something.

[ Faint chatter ]

Come on, sicko.

NARRATOR: Suddenly, the energy

in the room changes.

As I'm laying on my back,

on the concrete,

and I'm pointing up,

and I'm seeing this entity form,

this misty, glowing thing,

and I'm freaking out.

I'm pointing.

All of a sudden, Chris goes,

"Oh, my God.

I see this light up

in the corner."

-Guys, are you seeing this?

-Yeah.

There's a light right up there.

I knew for sure that --

that it's actually working.

You know, he is drawing in

this spirit.

I was shocked.

I started stuttering.

I started pointing.

You guys seeing this?

It was, like, a misty light

right up there.

ZUZIC: I snapped a photo,

and I knew, at that moment,

there was some sort of energy

in that room

because I caught

what looked like a streak,

like some sort of energy

above Chris.

I mean, literally, it's, like,

you can see the Kn*fe

on Chris's chest, and this thing

is right above it,

and I believe that's, you know,

the spirit of James.

He could possibly try and be

trying to reach out

for that Kn*fe, or he's trying

to do something to Chris.

It's getting kind of weird

in here, ain't it?

Yeah.

Within a few seconds,

an EVP came across,

and it said, "k*ll him."

EERIE MALE VOICE: k*ll him.

I started to panic.

I was in disbelief.

I couldn't even --

I couldn't get the words

out fast enough

with what my eyes were seeing

and my mind was processing.

EERIE MALE VOICE: k*ll him.

[ Faint chatter ]

PAGE: Another EVP is followed,

but not in a male's voice,

but in a female's voice,

saying, "Yes, you did."

FEMALE VOICE: Yes, you did.

Now you just validated that

there are two spirits there,

you know,

and now you're validating

what everybody else is hearing

and seeing at this library.

I believe it's Emily and James

still locked in in that spot.

They're actually communicating

with us in real time.

NARRATOR: Afraid of what

might happen next,

Chris ends the session.

PAGE: I was done.

It was getting

progressively worse,

what was happening,

so I told everybody,

"We just need to go upstairs."

NARRATOR: But they aren't out

of harm's way.

ZUZIC:

We were using the K-II Meter,

and, all of a sudden,

it started peaking.

[ Beeping ]

You know, it was hitting

the red area.

That's telling us

that there's an energy,

there's some form of energy

at that location

that's very strong.

And, at that same time,

when that started to peak,

Chris hears this --

what sounds like a growl.

[ Growling ]

PAGE:

It was a low, throaty growl.

This was his final...

push on us to basically

tell us, you know,

"You've irritated me.

You need to stop."

NARRATOR: And James isn't done

terrorizing the team.

I don't feel right.

[ Sniffles ]

Take this.

ZUZIC:

And, all of a sudden, Amy,

her mood started to change.

She started getting angry,

almost like she wanted

to fight us.

It was, like, the weirdest

thing in the world.

[ Gasps ] Get out!

She's being very loud and vocal.

I just am so angry right now.

I believe James was trying

to possess Amy

so he could physically

hurt one of us.

No! No!

Because now he'll have

that physical strength to do it.

PAGE: We're in shock as she's

having this spirit of James

take her over, to where now

he is in somewhat partial

control of her emotions.

And we had to stop it.

The only thing Chris and I

could think of doing

is to start praying,

see if James

would possibly release.

...forgive us our trespasses...

Get out!

...Thy kingdom come...

[ Wailing ]

-...Thy will be done.

-Three, two...

I believe James was physically

trying to att*ck her.

She's holding her fists.

She's crying,

and you could tell

she was having her

own battle with James.

You know, she's trying

to get him off of her.

You know, we're praying for her.

It was almost like

spiritual warfare.

Chris and I were very concerned

that this may escalate

to an even worse situation.

And as we're doing the blessing

and holding hands and praying,

you could see

her mood changing.

You could see her

actually coming back.

Grab her!

It's starting to release.

[ Gasping ]

Thank God Chris and I were able

to pull that away from her,

that it didn't cause

even more harm.

Help her up.

I truly believe

that if James had taken

complete possession of Amy,

he would have controlled her,

and he would have made her

do whatever

he wanted her to do

because now he had

control of a body,

which is what

he's always wanted.

NARRATOR: With Amy safe, Chris

and Karlo know they can't leave

until they try

to rid the library

of James's spirit for good.

We knew that, you know,

there's danger here,

so Chris and I

wanted to remove James.

I think we should do a prayer.

Is that okay?

We don't care if Emily

was still there.

If that's where she wants to be,

and she's happy there,

that's fine.

But James had to be removed,

and Chris and I decided to do

a cleansing,

a blessing,

of the property.

...the archangel,

defend us in battle.

Be our protection against

the wickedness and the...

Our goal is to get rid of him.

We don't want him there.

...Earth as it is in heaven,

hallowed be thy name.

We were a lot stronger

than James was,

and we pushed him

away from there.

We removed him

from that library.

♪♪

After the blessing was done,

you could feel everything lift.

Gave the library staff

that peace of mind,

"Look, you know, he's gone."

They're more comfortable now

going to work.

It went well.

The staff hasn't had

any other experiences.

It was a very big

accomplishment for us

because this thing could have

got out of control,

and we got it under control

at one point,

and we actually removed him,

which was a main thing

that we wanted to do.

NARRATOR: Still to come --

a haunted house

I felt, like, little fingers

by the Bridgewater Triangle,

and she lives right

on the corner

of one of the triangle points.

NARRATOR: The home is in

very close proximity

to the Hockomock Swamp,

which translates to

"a place where spirits dwell."

My first thought

with this case was,

"Is this residual energy

from the Hockomock Swamp

causing this activity?"

[ Eerie whispering ]

Residual energy can cause

residual hauntings.

NARRATOR: The team arrives

How do you do, ma'am?

I'm Jack Kenna.

One of the first things

I noticed,

walking into the house,

was the oppressive

and high anxiety

in the home itself --

very unusual, very nontypical

of just walking

into somebody's home,

which means there's something

going on there, right,

something negative.

NARRATOR:

Ellen feels it too.

I will be honest with you.

NARRATOR: Pushing their worries

to the side,

the team splits up

to investigate.

Sharon Koogler is with Ellen,

while Sarah Campbell

goes with Jack

to the top floor of the house.

KENNA: So once we got up into

the upstairs loft area,

I was just talking

to whatever might be there,

telling them why we're there,

that we're there

to talk to them.

I need you to talk to me

if you're here.

I started to get just a lot

of anxiety

feeling of,

"Get out of here. Leave.

Get out," like I should go.

I decide, "No, I'm not going

to do that. I'm staying."

an EVP of a female voice saying,

"Go. Get out."

Is there anybody over here?

You can talk to me.

a female voice, stuns Jack.

KENNA: It was a female voice

I heard.

We knew most of the torment

was from the male spirit.

Did you hear that?

Well, the spirits,

sometimes what can happen

is one can control another

and force it to do its bidding.

Is there anybody over here?

You can talk to me.

Get out.

they hear strange noises nearby.

I thought I heard something

in the closet.

Is there somebody

in the closet?

Maybe there's some, you know,

people that actually are actors

in the haunted attraction,

maybe setting up some stuff.

NARRATOR: But in their research,

they make a chilling discovery

that gives them pause.

There was a death

associated with the property

from a previous owner

of that property.

Many bodies were being found

nearby this particular

haunted attraction.

This could be something

more than just a spook house.

There might be some legitimacy

behind the claims.

♪♪

NARRATOR: Jay and Marie bring in

their team to investigate.

♪♪

MARIE: You know, when we first

arrived there, it was empty.

No actors.

Walking in, it felt very cold.

There are mannequins

all around you.

Having the mannequins there

do, you know,

add to the creep factor.

NARRATOR:

Jay and Marie are vigilant.

They don't want to be fooled.

JAY: We'd have to pay extra

special attention

to ensure that there wasn't

any kind of trickery

happening while we were there

because this was,

you know,

a haunted attraction.

♪♪

NARRATOR:

Almost right away,

the team witnesses

strange activity.

Myself and another investigator

saw a shadow figure cross

from one side of the door

to the other.

Now, I saw it.

I was staring dead at it,

and I didn't want

to say anything,

and I looked over to my right,

and there was an investigator

who was also looking at me,

and he said, "Jay, you saw

that too, didn't you?"

And I said, "Yeah, absolutely."

It was dark.

It was definitely a male.

NARRATOR:

Jay orders everyone outside

so he can take photos of the

building without interference.

I get to what we call

the prop room.

I took multiple photographs

in this room.

[ Shutter clicks ]

And, immediately,

as I took these photographs,

I see that I had captured

a white blur.

I catch what looks

like a person,

almost in costume, running

across the frame of the photo.

Completely surprised

and shocked,

I gather my team members.

MARIE:

It was, like, a white figure

coming out of, like,

the props.

He actually felt like

a presence was --

something was in there with him

when he was actually

taking the picture.

NARRATOR:

As the team tries to figure out

what exactly

Jay caught on camera,

he senses something

lurking nearby.

And I'm explaining everything

that had happened,

and then I look over to my left

to see what investigator

was to my left.

[ Eerie soft wailing ]

MARIE: Jay actually thought

somebody walked up next to him,

and he sort of was startled

when he looked

and there was nobody there.

JAY: Our reverend on the team,

he looked at me,

and he said, "Jay, did you see

a ghost or something?

You look like you saw a ghost."

And I'm like, "I'm pretty sure

I just did."

MARIE: After that incident,

some of our team members

started messing around

with the mannequins.

Knowing that I'm kind of

scared of mannequins,

they were kind

of screwing around, like,

with some of the mannequins,

and it was kind of,

like, you know, irritating me.

[ Laughter ]

NARRATOR: Jay is not the only

one who's irritated,

as he finds out when he

and Marie start an EVP session.

JAY: The first question we asked

was, "Are you upset

for what the crew members

were doing with the mannequins?"

And we get a loud "yes"

response on the high recorder.

Jay.

♪♪

[ Raspy breathing ]

MALE VOICE: Yes.

MARIE: Like, "Okay.

So we have something here

that's intelligent."

♪♪

[ Static whines ]

NARRATOR: Meantime, in another

area of the property,

Jay and Marie's colleague

witnesses something eerie.

I get a radio call from one of

our investigators, Michael Papp,

out at base camp...

We've got something here.

...saying, "Hey, Jay, we've

got a door that just opened.

I just caught it on DVR."

He's at base camp.

He's watching all the cameras,

and we have the back door

of this prop house

legitimately opening up

by itself.

♪♪

You can see on the DVR cameras

that there wasn't anyone

that came up to it,

but you clearly see

the door opening.

You've got something?

♪♪

Marie and I go in to investigate

the door opening,

find no normal explanation

for any of this happening.

We had people doing security

walks around the facility,

ensuring that nobody

was in there,

so that door opening up,

for me, that was paranormal.

Something opened that that you

could not see with your eyes,

but that door opening

was caught on the DVR unit.

NARRATOR:

Anxious to gather more evidence,

Marie heads to a trailer

on the property

which was once home to a couple

with a violent history.

MARIE: One thing that happened

in this trailer

that we knew of

was there was a double m*rder.

[ Woman screams ]

It was a m*rder-su1c1de

of a man and a woman.

Marie wants to go in,

and she wants to investigate

this trailer by herself.

MARIE: I think, sometimes,

when you're by yourself,

you have more opportunity

to catch anything.

I walked into the back

bedroom of this trailer,

and I started doing

an audio session.

Is there anybody here?

I was asking,

"Who's in here with me?

What is your name?"

There's no men.

It's just me, all by myself.

NARRATOR: Marie starts asking

pointed questions...

Hello?

...in an attempt to draw out

the spirit of the female victim.

MARIE:

Were you m*rder*d by a man?

Then, Marie hears something.

She walks in, and she captures,

on audio,

some of the most compelling

evidence that I've ever heard.

It scared the hell out of me

when I reviewed it.

In the distant background,

you hear what sounds

like an older lady

start humming some tune.

MARIE: Is there anybody

in here with me?

[ Humming ]

JAY: It sends chills

down your spine,

but we caught something

that was class-A EVP.

There was a lady in there,

and she was humming,

and there's no way it could

have come from anything else.

MARIE: Is there anybody

in here with me?

[ Humming ]

To this day,

I will honestly say,

if I hear that audio,

it creeps me out.

NARRATOR: The encounter makes

Marie physically ill.

[ Humming continues ]

[ Stifled cough ]

Felt really dizzy and stuff.

My stomach started

feeling weak as well.

[ Humming continues ]

[ Gasping ]

[ Gasping continues ]

NARRATOR: She manages

to escape the trailer,

but there's no hiding from

all sorts of unnatural activity.

There's definitely

some childlike laughter

and giggling going on.

[ Children giggling ]

[ Giggling continues ]

♪♪

NARRATOR: In the Southwest,

a team investigating

a haunted attraction

fear it's really haunted.

Myself and another investigator

saw a shadow figure.

♪♪

NARRATOR: They start seeing

things and hearing things.

One of our investigators say

that they hear children

laughing and giggling.

[ Children laughing ]

There's definitely

some childlike laughter

and giggling going on,

and we can't see anything.

You hear that too, right?

[ Laughing continues ]

So it's kind of spooky, right?

I mean, like, just the thought

of children ghosts anyway

has always kind

of freaked me out.

MARIE:

We decided to walk through

and try to find

where these children were.

We looked all around

this haunted attraction

and did not find no kids.

All of a sudden,

I hear the giggling again.

[ Giggling resumes ]

The sound of the giggling is,

honestly, sounds of, like,

almost like a -

or -year-old child going,

"He-he-he-he.

He-he-he-he-he. Ha-ha,"

almost like a giggling

sound of a child

that is really trying

to irritate you.

[ Giggling continues ]

The giggle would move.

So when we would move,

the giggling would be

in front of us.

Then it would be behind us.

Honestly, in a way,

it was a little creepy.

NARRATOR:

Marie not only hears children.

She feels them too.

Aah!

Something just grabbed

my ankle!

What? Where?

I felt, like, little fingers

on my feet.

My full body stopped,

and the other investigators

were already in front of me,

and I'm like,

"Hey, wait a second, you guys.

I was just touched,"

and I started, you know,

flashing the flashlight around,

and there was nobody there.

Something just grabbed me!

NARRATOR: Meanwhile,

concerned by Marie's

earlier experience

at the trailer,

her co-investigator,

Reverend Paul Lovegrove,

goes there in search

of answers.

♪♪

Like Marie, he too connects

with a spirit,

but one much more sinister.

[ Whoosh ]

He felt like something

grabbed him

and pushed him up

to the trailer.

And I kind of rushed over there

to kind of intervene

to see if there was

anything I could do.

And all I see is Paul's face,

and he's just completely like,

"Jay, I don't know

what to tell you."

-I'm done here.

-Come on.

I'm done. I'm done.

I've had it.

Like, "I don't have

any explanation for it,

"but, like,

something grabbed me

and just literally pushed me

up against the trailer."

He said, "I just

can't explain it."

You okay?

You guys are on your own.

I'm out.

I'm done.

I can't do it.

It takes a lot of energy

for a spirit

to actually do something

like that,

to actually be able

to actually push.

♪♪

What I think it was

that actually pushed Paul,

I believe it was a spirit

of the man

that actually m*rder*d

his wife in there.

I believe, at the time,

Paul went in there,

was trying to communicate

with him,

and I think he just, like,

"I had enough,"

you know, pushed him,

and, you know, to like,

"Get out."

NARRATOR: Jay, along with

co-investigator Michael Papp,

go in search of that spirit.

We were walking

through the trailer.

Mike immediately starts

antagonizing

and almost provoking

the spirits.

I don't believe you're here.

Come on. Show yourself.

Walking around the trailer,

just like,

"I don't believe

that you're here.

I don't believe that

there's anything here."

And he's just --

It's almost like a challenge

in what he's doing.

I'm like, "Mike, you know,

let's not do this here,"

and he's like, "Come on, Jay.

There's nothing here."

NARRATOR: Their equipment

suggests otherwise.

[ Beeping ]

I'm showing Michael. I'm like,

"Hey, Mike, like, look.

We're getting spikes

on the K-II Meter."

He's like, "I don't believe

in that thing."

[ Beeping continues ]

And then I saw a ball of light,

and it was following Michael

into the back room

of this trailer.

NARRATOR: Fearing the spirit

would manifest

and cause irreparable harm,

the team makes a quick exit.

[ Beeping continues ]

Faster!

Open the door!

-Open the -- Get out.

-We're out of here.

NARRATOR:

On their way out,

they consult

with the caretaker.

JAY: We asked the caretaker,

"Would you like a cleansing?"

He wasn't interested in that.

All he wanted was validation,

and he wanted physical evidence,

and he got more

than what he expected.

NARRATOR:

And when investigator Michael

returns to his own home,

he gets something

unexpected too.

[ Water runs ]

Michael actually, that evening,

he had an experience

with something

that kind of, like,

completely freaked him out.

[ Groans ]

♪♪

He said that he had woken up

to this hand reaching up,

like, trying to grab him.

♪♪

Michael just freaked out.

So he immediately called me,

told me what had happened.

I warned him.

I said, you know,

"You were there. You're playing

with fire, you get b*rned."

MARIE: I believe that spirit

wanted to say,

"You wanted to mess

with me in my place.

I'm going to mess with you

at your place."
