02x06 - Demon House
Posted: 07/14/23 11:35
NARRATOR:
America's top ghost hunters
relive their most
extreme assignments.
Something was hunting me
this whole time.
NARRATOR: Hardened veterans
of the paranormal,
these are the cases
that truly tested them.
I don't think I was
ready for this.
NARRATOR: In Indiana,
horror awaits investigators
inside a notoriously evil home.
When the location has a nickname
"The Demon House,"
you do have a lot
of concerns going in.
NARRATOR: In Ohio, ghost hunters
face multiple spirits
in one of the state's
most-haunted buildings.
So I just saw this dark mass.
I was scared as hell.
NARRATOR: And in Connecticut,
a home haunting proves to be
too much for investigators.
It was seriously frightening.

WOMAN: [ Screams ]

NARRATOR: In the small
Indiana town of Hartford City
stands Monroe House.
The two-story home looks like
a typical one
you'll see in the suburbs,
but this isn't a normal house,
far from it.
In , Eddie Norris
buys the property.
He plans to renovate
then sell it.
Plans quickly change when
he witnesses frightening
and unexplained activity.
♪♪
McGILL: He would be working
on the house,
and he would see shadow figures
out of the corner of his eye.
♪♪
He would hear
disembodied voices,
voices of women
and small children.
[ Indistinct voices ]
The activity eventually got
so bad
he didn't want to work
on the house if he were alone.
He decided to not sell the house
because he didn't feel good
about passing this type of
thing on to somebody.
He wanted to hang on to it
and try to get answers.
NARRATOR: The home, now dubbed
the Demon House,
intrigues investigator
Eric McGill,
the founder
of Ectovision Paranormal.
McGILL: It's very important to
take a respectful approach
when communicating with spirits.
In our current understanding
and mind-set of science
and the paranormal,
there's a lot that we don't
understand in this world.
♪♪
NARRATOR: The Monroe House dates
back to the s.
Its history is grim
and chilling.
McGILL: The first death said to
have occurred was in .
It was a -year-old girl.
She perished in a house fire.
[ Screams ]
In the s, it was said that
a woman had taken her own life.
She had hung herself.
They've even discovered human
remains down in the basement.
NARRATOR: Along with the death,
there also dark behavior.
McGILL: In the s, there was
said to have been occult
type activity
in the Monroe House,
and this is thought to be
the origin of why it's now
known as the Demon House.
♪♪
When the location has a nickname
the Demon House,
you do have
a lot of concerns going in.
NARRATOR:
Eric arranges to investigate
the house with his team,
which includes Tom Javorsky.
The building from the street
looked like a normal house.
When you enter the house,
that's kind of
when everything changes.
♪♪
We weren't sure
what we would encounter.
What's going on in here?
McGILL: On the investigation
was Shawn Gilmore.
He told me that this house has
the same exact energy
as a cemetery.
I'm not even sure if Shawn knew
that at one time
there were human remains exhumed
from out of the basement.
It kind of set the tone
for the evening.
NARRATOR: As the team sets up
for the investigation,
something has a negative effect
over one of the crew.
McGILL: One of our cameramen,
Brendan Shay, he became sick...
-You okay?
-Brendan.
...like violently ill.
He started feeling dizzy,
and he started feeling nauseous.
His exactly words were...
-Really?
-Say that, out of the blue.
We need to get Brendan
out of here.
-Brendan. Hey.
-[ Coughing ]
BRENDAN:
I'm gonna...[ coughs ]
McGILL: So we had to quickly
take Brendan outside.
Is he all right?
After that, Brendan was fine.
He just had to get out
of that area.
NARRATOR:
While the investigators
regroup outside,
the spirits
remain active inside.
McGILL: While we were gone,
our static cameras captured
what sounded like boards
creaking,
maybe like someone heavy
stepping on the wooden floor.
They just creaked really loud.
NARRATOR:
When they review their footage,
they find more troubling sounds.
There's a room upstairs.
We called it the coffin room.
♪♪
In that room was the bust
of a demon,
a devil-looking thing.
It was probably
a Halloween prop.
NARRATOR: In that room,
they capture a voice.
I think I got something here.
An EVP that says the word,
"Demon."
It's either,
A, identifying itself or, B,
it sees a demon in the room,
and it's saying,
"There it is, demon."
Either way, that signifies
that we are dealing
with an intelligent entity,
whether it be a demon
or a human spirit.
♪♪
NARRATOR:
When no more EVPs come through,
the team moves to what
Eddie calls the children's room.
♪♪
They use an EMF detector
that's disguised as the toy dog.
♪♪
The Parapooch is
an interesting device.
We figure if there's any
children spirits in that room,
they might be more apt
to come and play
with something
that looks like a toy.
Are you still in here with us?
We'd really appreciate
you setting the dog off.
♪♪
[ Beep ]
Did you hear that?
Can you do that again, please?
[ Beeps ]
The alarm for the Parapooch
was setting off,
and the lights were going off.
[ Beeping ]
Spirits have theorized to emit
this EMF field
which would cause
the device to go off.
Did you make Brendan
sick earlier?
[ Beeps ]
-Wow.
So after the Parapooch
went off a couple times,
it made an odd sound, an alarm
that we've never heard before.
[ High-pitched beeping ]
Are you playing games with us?
♪♪
NARRATOR:
In Hartford City, Indiana,
ghost hunter Eric McGill
and his team investigate reports
of a demon at the Monroe House.
An entity sets off
one of their devices
in a way that causes concern.
[ Beeps ]
-Wow.
The Parapooch made an odd sound,
an alarm that we've
never heard before.
We didn't know
what to make of it.
Are you playing games with us?
Entirely possible that a spirit
could manipulate the sounds
that that device makes.
[ High-pitched beeping ]
It actually went off over
a period of about two hours.
Would you describe yourself
as demonic or evil?
[ Beep ]
This isn't normal to have
so much interaction.
This was a paranormal
occurrence.
♪♪
NARRATOR: The investigators turn
their focus downstairs,
but the activity in the house
only escalates further.
All of a sudden,
we got a strange EVP.
-What was that?
-Did you hear that?
-Yeah.
-The whisper?
McGILL: Yeah, I heard that.
It sounded to me like it
was saying, "Don't go."
We heard you.
The next thing that happened
was pretty chilling.
-What do you got?
-Listen to this.
This little girl's voice
that we weren't able
to account for says,
"Not my friends, Daddy."
Not my friends, Daddy.
We were absolutely shocked
to hear this.
GIRL: Not my friends, Daddy.
The most disturbing thing
about this is if it in fact
a demon in disguise,
as many have theorized,
that's pretty terrifying to me.
♪♪
All of a sudden, we heard
the Parapooch alarming
in the other room,
in the kids' bedroom.
We ran over there real quick.
NARRATOR:
The team starts an EVP session,
desperate to learn more
about the little girl.
Shawn started asking questions,
trying to get direct responses.
We wanted to try
to get communication
through the device.
[ Beeping ]
-Wow.
Can you do that one more time?
[ Beeping ]
Whoa. I got major chills
when I came in here, too.
Oh, yeah.
The whole session
was pretty incredible.
NARRATOR: Eric brings in a more
sophisticated device,
the Parascope , to verify
the presence of the little girl.
So I'm gonna turn it
on right now.
This is a pretty cool
paranormal device.
Since it only detects
natural energy,
we feel that
it's a reliable device
to use on an investigation.
I set the Parascope down
in the center of the room,
and I started to ask questions.
If there's anybody here with us
in this room, make it light up.
♪♪
All of a sudden,
the lights on the side light up.
Wow, look at it.
Here we go.
Yes, thank you.
Now keep it going.
Make this go in a circle.
And then shortly after that,
the team hears a disembodied
voice in the room.
Let's try this...
What was that?
-That was a voice right here.
-I heard it, too.
That sounded like it said
"Mommy."
That was a disembodied voice,
yes.
You're kidding me.
That sounded like it said
"Mommy."
-It was right here.
-Yeah.
Can you please say
something else to us?
We're listening.
There it is.
You hear that?
There's something
that's here now.
That was definitely
a disembodied voice.
Yeah, that was, like, creepy.
That was scary.
When you hear a small child's
voice cry out, it is disturbing.
Is this child looking
for their mommy?
Is it sad? Is it lonely?
Is it in danger, or is it
something more malevolent
disguising itself as a child?
We just have no way of knowing.
If the little girl actually was
a demon in disguise,
it would be a dangerous thing.
NARRATOR:
And this spirit isn't quite done
communicating with
the investigators.
Right after we hear
this disembodied voice say
"Mommy," Marcus Hogg feels
a static charge up his leg.
I have static charge
on my right leg.
I felt it, too.
Like static electricity,
right here.
My hair is standing
straight up right now.
Because it literally looked
like a dark shadow
standing in the middle
of the hallway.
At this point
in the investigation,
we don't know if we're dealing
with something demonic.
The nature of a demon is
to create havoc and misery
wherever it can.
-Oh, my god.
-Ahh!
Ahh!
♪♪
What do you got?
NARRATOR: An investigation into
the Demon House in Indiana
takes a terrifying turn
when an unknown entity
att*cks an investigator.
-Oh, my god.
-Ahh!
We don't know if we're dealing
with something demonic.
-Aah!
-Breathe.
-Jeez.
-Oh.
When Marcus got another
static charge up his right leg,
it was very clear to us
at this point
whatever is there seems
to have the power
to be able to manipulate us.
That's not a normal thing
to have happen
to anyone on your team.
NARRATOR: As Marcus recovers
from the shock,
the activity suddenly ceases.
We don't know
if the spirit left,
but it stopped at that moment.
Whatever is there seems
to be intelligent
and seems to have
a lot of power.
♪♪
We decided to call it
for the evening
and pack everything in.
NARRATOR: Eric shares their
findings with Eddie,
the owner of the house.
McGILL: He is particularly
frightened of the voice
that we captured
of the little girl.
Some people believe that it's
the spirit of the little girl
who is said
to have burnt in the fire.
[ Screaming ]
NARRATOR: To this day,
the spirit of the little girl
remains at Monroe House.
McGILL: Hauntings of this nature
shouldn't be taken lightly.
We were all a little worried
at times.
Fortunately, we all got out
of there safely and unharmed.

NARRATOR:
Still to come, an investigator
faces frightening consequences
at a terrifying home haunting.
This thing wanted me
out of there.
[ Laughing evilly ]
Ah!
NARRATOR: But first...
It's really,
really creepy up here.
NARRATOR: ...sinister spirits
surround ghost hunters
and a haunted building.
And I'm thinking, "Please,
nobody jump out at me."
Hello?

NARRATOR: In Mansfield, Ohio,
stands the historic
Bissman building.
♪♪
Built in the s,
it has served many purposes,
from a print press
to an office space
of seven generations
of the Bissman family,
but for the building's
current occupants,
its history
is a little too alive.
ZUZIC:
People would see shadow men.
You could hear voices.
Things would get moved.
Things would get thrown.

NARRATOR: Many of the hauntings
are thought to be connected
to the building's
troubled past.

ZUZIC: There have been deaths
in the building.
NARRATOR: The first one dates
back to .
There was a gentleman
named F.W. Simon.
He was actually retiring.
The last day of his work,
he was in the elevator,
and he was waving
at everybody.
Well, when he got
to the third floor,
he stretched out his head
a little too far and waved.
NARRATOR:
It proves to be a fatal mistake.
F.W. Simon is beheaded.

A lot of people would see
shadows where he d*ed...

[ Gate clangs ]
...because it was such a tragedy
that happened there.
NARRATOR: Another spirit roams
the building,
a little girl thought
to be Ruthie Bissman,
who is said to have met
a horrific end.
ZUZIC: They found her body
mutilated in the basement.
They don't know who did it.
They would leave a ball
down there,
and the ball
would start rolling.
When somebody has a traumatic
death like that,
their energy tends
to stay behind.

NARRATOR: Ben Bissman,
the current owner

Karlo Zuzic has a long history
with the supernatural,
having had his first encounter
at age in his childhood home.
Growing up in a haunted house
did make me want to become
a paranormal investigator.
I want to help others,
you know,
because I didn't have
anybody to turn to.

NARRATOR: Karlo brings along
his colleague, Chris Page.
When you look at the building,
it has this presence to it.
It just has this eeriness.

NARRATOR: As they set up,
they sense a strange shift
in the air.
Did you feel that?
All of a sudden,
you feel this cold,
and I'm talking cold feeling.
Did you feel that?
-Right there.
-There it is.
-Wow.
-Come here.
Stand right here,
and you'll feel this gust
come right at you.
Right now,
it just hit me again.
I just walked into it.
-Look at the hair on my arms.
-It's all standing up.
That's creepy.
Our reaction to the temperature
drop was shock,
that initial shock, like jumping
into ice water almost,
but it grabs your attention.
I've never felt anything
like this before.

the courage to find out.
Is anybody up here?
When I was going up the stairs,
it felt like
I was walking the plank,
like I was almost getting
fed to the sharks.
Who's running around up there?
I was scared as hell.
When I got up to the top
of the stairs,
I was kind of just standing

Cait Hack and Kyle Carney
to start their life together.
Two weeks after moving in
to their new place,
their lives turn upside down.
♪♪
What they were experiencing
was just the beginning
of something much,
much worse.
Upstairs, in the bedroom,
they'd hear doors
jiggling at night,
walking on a stairwell,
and the voices.
Kyle wakes up to find
these scratches on his arms.
♪♪
He wasn't sure
what was causing that.
Cait.
Cait?
KENNA: Cait is not acting
like herself.
Kyle told me she would start
just talking
in almost third person.
She wouldn't remember
any of it.
She would blank out.
♪♪
Cait?
♪♪
[ Deep voice ] I know
what's going to happen.
She's going to die.
Cait, wake up.
Cait!
KENNA:
Very, very odd behavior.
It frightened him,
and it also frightened her.
Cait, wake up.
You okay? What's going on?
♪♪
NARRATOR: Desperate for help,
they contact paranormal
investigator Jack Kenna.
Jack is a key member
of the Spirits of New England.
Jack worries for Cait's safety.
He believes a demon
may be trying to possess her.
♪♪
He takes the case right away
and travels to their home alone.
♪♪
There really wasn't
enough time to bring
in the rest of the team.
This is how urgent
I felt this was.
NARRATOR: Jack's colleague,
Ellen MacNeil,
doesn't like that
Jack is going alone,
but she understands
the urgency.
MacNEIL:
We were very concerned.
This could be a possible
possession case.
You have to act quickly
because you don't know
how far it's going to go
and how quickly
it's going to happen.
[ Knock on door ]
NARRATOR: Jack's misgivings only
intensify once he steps inside.
MacNEIL: There was a very, very
heavy atmosphere in the house.
It was not welcoming.
There was something there
that did not want him there.
They sort of showed me where
they had been having activity.
♪♪
That's when I got this feeling
of, like, being watched.
♪♪
NARRATOR: Jack sets up a camera
to act as another set of eyes.
It's not long before
it captures something.
We're actually standing
at the top of the stairs,
in front of their bedroom door,
and we actually hear somebody
run down the stairs.
NARRATOR: Jack's footage reveals
a shadow figure
leaving the bedroom.
That point, I knew that
something paranormal
was happening.
♪♪
KENNA: Are there spirits
in this household?
NARRATOR: Jack wants to
communicate with the entity.
He uses a ghost radar system
to find out
what they're dealing with.
A spirit can actually
communicate through it
in what we call energy blips.
Two blips for yes,
one for no.
KENNA: So if you're a spirit
that's here,
can you give me two blips
for yes and one for no?
Yes.
I see it.
Do you want to talk to us?
Two for yes, one for no.
That's one.
Well, you're gonna
talk to me anyway.
NARRATOR:
Jack then uses divining rods
to make the spirit communicate.
KENNA: They're copper rods.
Hold them in your hands
so they're pointing
straight forward,
and then you begin
to ask questions.
Are there spirits in possession
of this household?
They will cross for yes,
swing back and forth for no.
Are you a male spirit?
Yes.
Who are you, what spirit?
Are you a human?
Are you a human spirit?
NARRATOR: Jack believes
the entity is lying.
KENNA: So you say.
And he asks another question
to trick it
into revealing its true nature.
KENNA: I have one more question
for you.
Is a demonic upset
that we're here?
Is it upset that we're here?
NARRATOR:
This answer alarms Jack.
He starts a Spirit Box session,
hoping to confirm whether
the entity is indeed demonic.
Who are you attached to?
[ Garbled voice ]
Are you attached to Kyle
or Cait?
-Cait.
-Oh, my god.
MAN: Cait.
KENNA: What's your name?
The one that's disturbing
Cait, what's your name?
NARRATOR:
The entity has even more to say.
KENNA: It got very heavy,
very dense, very intense.
Then they hear
something terrifying.
It was a loud growl
that we all heard.
NARRATOR:
Soon, the demonic entity is done
with just talking.
KENNA:
It looked like a male figure.
I was seriously frightened.
♪♪
NARRATOR: In Connecticut,
veteran ghost hunter
Jack Kenna confirms a demonic
entity at the home of
Cait Hack and Kyle Carney.
KENNA: What's your name?
NARRATOR: The evil spirit has
been terrorizing the couple
from the moment they moved in,
and now it threatens Jack.
It was seriously frightening.
[ Low growl ]
-Oh.
-Oh!
It went right through me.
I remember not quite feeling
myself at that point
and not feeling right,
and I became what
we call confounded.
A human spirit can't do that,
but I felt this was
a true demonic entity.
This thing wanted me
out of there.
He was being warned
or threatened
by this male spirit.
[ Low growl ]
NARRATOR: Jack is on edge
after this encounter.
I didn't want to stir
things up anymore.
I was actually
little bit concerned.
Stay calm.
My thoughts were just jumbled,
so I felt at that point I needed
to step out of the situation.
I gave them some advice
for doing some saging
in their home
just to keep some energy down,
keep things stable,
but I wanted to really go back
and review the evidence
I had and do some research
on that area.
NARRATOR: His research unearthed
something chilling.
What I found doing
my research of Winsted
really kind of blew me away.
The number of murders in
that location is outrageous.
They believe were done
by a serial k*ller.
Literally across the street
from them had lived a m*rder*r.
♪♪
So it was telling me
there's something
really odd going on here.
I truly believe
it's a demonic entity
that's either controlling
other spirits
or causing this activity.
They want to destroy you.
They want to destroy
your family,
and that's what this thing was
working its way towards doing.
NARRATOR:
Armed with this knowledge,
Jack returns to Cait
and Kyle's home
with the intention
of expelling the demon.
So I did a thorough cleansing
using white sage,
white light, and prayer.
Cast out the evil doers
into the sacred fire
prepared for the devil
and his angels.
NARRATOR: The demon is strong
and takes possession of Cait.
[ Deep voice ]
She's going to die.
I'm not going to
let her leave me.
-In the name of the Father --
-No!
NARRATOR:
Jack fights to bring her back.
-No!
-Die.
On the bible and you be gone.
Be gone!
-Out!
-Ah!
♪♪
Are you okay? It's gone.
NARRATOR: While Jack is
successful at the moment,
he has a dire warning
for Cait and Kyle.
♪♪
It's gone,
but it will be back.
You're not gonna chase
this thing out.
This thing is far beyond that.
-You have to go.
-It's only a temporary fix.
I'm sorry. I can't do more.
You can't stop that.
That's way beyond what us as
paranormal investigators can do.
♪♪
NARRATOR: Jack tells the couple
the best thing to do is leave.
They take his advice.
If they had kept going
the way they had
without reaching out to anyone
or without moving, I believe
Cait probably would have ended
up possessed by this thing.
♪♪
She probably would have ended
up either committing su1c1de
or doing something to Kyle.
♪♪
It's okay.
When they moved to
a new apartment,
everything had stopped.
It's over now.
And they haven't had any other
activity ever since then.
Everything's been good.
They're still together
to this day,
and they're talking about
getting married.
