we heard "leave"...

NARRATOR: One of the most
disturbing ones involves Anna.
One of the EVPs we captured
states, "Anna hates me."
That concerned me,
just the mere fact
that it recognized Anna
and knew her name.
This potentially could have been
watching her from a small child
as she grew up.
This made me feel very on edge.

EVPs feel threatening,

you're not wanted there.

he and Anna press on

there was a very, very dark

We started getting Spirit Box

"Where's the guy

"Someone help us, please."
ALAN: Is there anybody
here with me?
I absolutely believe that there
were negative entities
that were within the house
keeping these good spirits
that just wanted
to move on from doing so.
When you're in a location
that's such a significant part
of your life
and having those types
of responses come through,
it was just overwhelming.

have them on edge,
and it's about to get
a lot worse for Anna.
Anna shouts, you know,
"Something grabbed my arm."
ANNA: [ Gasps ]
I actually physically have
something grab my arm.
They were doing it forcefully.
It was very frightening feeling
something grab you
that you can't even see.
Having it escalate to physically
being grabbed,

things have escalated,
they go outside to regroup.

I had been very shaken up.
I was ready to take a moment,
just catch my breath
and wrap my head around
what had just happened.
Once we were able to get
outside of the house
and gather our thoughts,
it was still disturbing,
but, you know,
we both realized
that there was still work
to be done.
We needed to go back in.
And then your investigative
side is saying,
"Get in there. There's a lot
that's going on,
and you need to capture
the evidence."
NARRATOR:
Alan and Anna muster the courage
to reenter the house,
and it's still very active.
ANNA: When we first go
into the kitchen,
we can actually hear
footsteps up in the bedroom
that we were in earlier.
They were big footsteps, heavy.

Stomp your feet.
We're secured inside the home.
Nobody else is there,

NARRATOR: They brace themselves
to continue on and investigate
one last area of the house --
the basement.
ALAN: We left this portion
of the investigation to the end
because this was
my least favorite part
of the house to be in ever,
and at this point, it was
times worse than ever before.
ANNA: So as soon as you're
descending the stairs,
you can feel a presence.
You can feel this darkness,

Linda appears to be quite taken
aback by what she's just seen --
a grayish-black cloud,
a young child
that's full of dancing light.
And as this thing
rushes towards her,
all she can thing about is,
"What the heck am I looking at?"
And then, just like that, it
disappears in front of her eyes.
This could be the manifestation
of some kind
of paranormal entity.
JASON:
Is your daughter here with us?
I was wondering, "Was this
the spirit of the little girl?"
because it was roughly
about -foot-tall,
had some sparkly lights,
which could represent maybe
a younger person in spirit form.
♪♪
The messages from the Ovilus
start to get more
and more disturbing.
We get repeated phrases
like, "Hit."
"Hit."
..."att*ck"...
"att*ck!"
..."hurt"...
"Hurt."
..."blood."
"Blood."
WOMAN: [ Screams ]
This is now the theme.
It's one of v*olence.
[ Male Automated Voice ]
Starve.
And it seems very clearly
threatening
toward my team and I.
[ Male Automated Voice ]
thr*at.
NARRATOR: Then their K-II meter
starts going off again.
JASON: We get this big EMF spike
again that we cannot explain,
and it makes me wonder
if something else
is going to manifest.
NARRATOR: Tempting fate,
Linda calls the spirit out.
What do you have to say
to the redhead?
Was the thing that came
towards me trying to hurt me?
MAN: Yes.
JASON: We definitely thought
that something was trying
to intimidate us.
Hey, don't mess with my wife!
Whether it was going to
hurt us physically
or maybe affect us mentally,
it was definitely trying to make
some kind of statement to us.
♪♪
NARRATOR: In Denver, Colorado,
a home haunting
takes an alarming turn
when an evil spirit threatens
Investigator Richard Estep
and his team of ghost hunters.
Ah!
This is very clearly one
that's menacing,
a definitely trend
towards the violent.
So now I'm concerned
for the safety of my team.
NARRATOR:
Despite the disturbing messages,
Linda is defiant.
If you're real...
NARRATOR:
She commands the spirit
to show itself
to the owner of the home,
Brad, who is up
in one of the bedrooms.
Hurt the guy upstairs.
NARRATOR: The spirit obliges.
It showed itself by showing
little white lights
that were only seen by Brad.
BRAD: Ah! Ah!
Brad felt cold hands
touching him.
Ah! Ah!
Ah!
The grabbing of Brad
was a very significant thing...
It got my leg.
It got my leg, ah.
...because now
it was getting physical.
NARRATOR: The encounter drives
Brad from the home.
The others find the strength
to continue,
but the spirit is relentless.
♪♪
At that time,
I'm a little nervous
because things are ramping up
even more.
Whatever we are on the trail of,
it is not good.
JASON: Is there something
you want from us?
It says, "Go upstairs."
ESTEP: All of a sudden, there is
a loud thud from upstairs.
The entity that's communicating
with us is nasty.
Are you trying to scare people?
Linda tells the entity
that it should be sorry,
and it fires right back at her
with the word "att*ck."
I'm [bleep] they're here.
That's the REM
[bleep] going off.
And I got chills right now.
And we instantly hear the sound
of somebody walking back
and forth on the floorboards
above our head,
and we know full well
that nobody was up there.
The entire team was gathered
on the main floor.
Let's go, guys.
NARRATOR:
They follow the sound upstairs
and find themselves
in the little girl's bedroom.
♪♪
Show yourself!
ESTEP: We asked who that was
downstairs making the crash.
Is there anyone who wants
to identify themselves to us?
"Daddy, daddy, choke, squeeze,
downstairs, drunk,"
was what the Ovilus
said in return.
What happened in this house?
We're getting EMF spikes
all over the place,
and the words "tragic"
and "daddy" come up again
along with "horrible,"
"Mommy" and "children."
Enough, show yourself!
NARRATOR: Nothing more comes
through on the Ovilus.
They think the spirit has left.
They're wrong.
-What?
-What, what?
We see something very strange
has happened to her clothes.
There is a huge damp spot
on her shirt
and on the top of her pants.
The carpet is completely dry,
and even if it hadn't been,
Linda's sitting up.
How does she have this soaking
wet spot appear on her front?
We can't find a good
explanation for it.
Is that your t-shirt?
It's [bleep] everywhere.
-It's her jeans and T-shirt.
-Look at this.
ESTEP: I think it manifested
water on you.
The positioning of the spots
were as if maybe a child
had sat down on my wife,
a wet child who's just
come out of the bathtub.
Well, I just saw it
in here just now.
LINDA: All of a sudden it was
just, like, sitting in my lap.
JASON: It just happened
and surrounded...
LINDA:
Same little -foot thing I saw.
A number of experts
in the paranormal field
will tell you that often when
something appears to be a child,
it's actually something else
masquerading in an innocent form
in order to further
its own agenda.
I think the most concerned
person by far was Jason.
He knows that his wife
is pregnant,
and when we start to see
her become the target
for the first
physical manifestation
since Brad was touched,
I think everybody
is a little concerned.
NARRATOR: After this episode,
the team decides to end
the investigation
before anything else happens.
Could we be pushed down
or thrown down somewhere?
Was this entity gonna become
more physical
than it already
has this evening?
NARRATOR: The team leaves,
thinking that's the last
they'll see of the spirit.
But that's not the case
for Jason and Linda.
♪♪
Hey, you sure you're okay?
Following this investigation,
my wife had started spotting
from the pregnancy.
[ Object clatters ]
-Ah!
-Baby, you okay?
-What happened?
-What is that?
She was carrying a rosary
with her at all times,
saying the Lord's Prayer,
just trying to do anything
that would try to ward off
any bad or negative spirits
or energies that might
have attached to her.
Just breathe nice and deep.
You all right?
Could this be a case in which
the entity in the house
has truly influenced
her physically?
I certainly hope not,
but we know that some spirits
are capable of doing that.
NARRATOR: The rest of her
pregnancy is difficult,
but thankfully the baby is okay.
JASON:
We do have a healthy baby girl.
Even though everything was fine,
Linda refuses to go back
into that house to this day.
♪♪
NARRATOR: Brad's townhouse
remains one of the team's
most active
investigations to date.
Although we like to think
paranormal activity
takes place in historic
old castles and manor houses,
paranormal activity happens
on your street,
and it happens on mine.
This was an ordinary residence
in an ordinary neighborhood.
It just happened to have
a particularly horrific history.
The loss of three lives
in a senseless crime dwells
over all of us.
Brad's townhome was
an extremely haunted location,
and to the best of my knowledge,
it still is today.
