NARRATOR: Terrified,
Shannon turns
to paranormal investigator
John Hines for help.
With more than years
experience, he knows all
the risks that come along
with hunting ghosts.
Investigating the paranormal can
be dangerous
on a number of levels.
I have been involved in
plenty of investigations
where people have been hurt.
There can be entities that
can see us and hear us
but we're not able
to directly see them.
What most interests me about
investigating the paranormal
is trying to find answers,
not only for my clients,
but for myself, as well.
And talking to Shannon,
finding out how scared she was,
we wanted to get in there
as soon as possible.
We definitely wanted to
investigate and find out,
for her sake, what was going on.
NARRATOR: Joining John on
this investigation
is his daughter, Kaitlynn,
and his wife, Cindy.
When they arrive at the salon,
Shannon is visibly upset.
She clearly didn't really
want to go into the building.
Walking in there with her, you
could tell she was on edge.
She really wanted
to get out of there.
NARRATOR: The team begin
their investigation.
Why don't you guys go ahead,
I'm gonna stay here.
Cindy stays on the main floor,
while John and Kaitlynn
head down to the basement
to explore an area where
much of the activity occurs.
HINES: When we first walked
into the tanning room,
it felt really, really warm

the rest of the salon.

they start an EVP session.
HINES: I identified myself,
which is what we always do
when we start.
My name is John.
This is my daughter Kaitlynn.
I was trying to call
out any kind of entity
that might be there.
I asked if it might want
to say hi to Kaitlynn.
Would you like to
talk to Kaitlynn?
And immediately, we did get an

A family who once

death on the property.
A man who we weren't able
to identify was k*lled.

blunt force trauma.
If you have something
tragic that happens,

John is ready to
return to the salon.

ROSITAS:
Whatever's there doesn't
seem to really like that.
It let them know,
said to don't do that.
Don't do that.
NARRATOR: In search of answers,
administrators turned
to paranormal
investigators for help.
JC Rositas has been
working in this field
for more than a decade.
I've always been very excited
about any investigation
that I go to no matter what
the background history.
We really work hard
to try to explain
and see what it is that's
actually happening.
Why is this happening,
why is this occurring?
NARRATOR: JC is the co-founder
of Heartland Hauntings.
He met his partner, Len Miller,
because of the Kaske House
investigation.
I was the Vice President of
the Munster Historical Society
for a couple of years.
I had experience with
paranormal activity there
before I met JC.
I've always been of the belief
that energy cannot be created
nor can it be destroyed.
Where does it go when we die?
And that's ultimately what
I'm trying to find out.
NARRATOR: The stories coming
out of the Kaske House
intrigue many ghost
hunters, including JC.
He arranges to investigate.
Len and his daughter,
Tori, also take part.
As the team sets up,
they encounter activity
almost immediately.
[ Tapping ]
We heard the sound of footsteps
on the floor above us.
Do you hear that?
Yeah.
And it's very distinct, there's
nothing else it could be
other than footsteps.
♪♪
NARRATOR: Len's police instincts
kick in.
He races upstairs
to investigate.
Checked out all the rooms,
all the closets, everything,
there's nobody up there.
♪♪
NARRATOR: The team presses on
with the investigation,
and the spirits
aren't far behind.
♪♪
And a few seconds later, you
hear a voice say, "Ha ha ha ha."
[ Evil laughing ]
♪♪
It almost sounded
like it had this...
I dare say you use
the word sinister.
NARRATOR: Then a terrifying
presence
sweeps through the room.
[ Sneezes ]
Dad!
MILLER: All of a sudden,
my daughter, Tori,
she and I felt a gust of wind
like somebody walking
in front of us.
My eyes went to the air vents.
They were not on at all.
All the doors
and windows were shut,
so it couldn't be
anything from there.
NARRATOR: The team suspects
Helen is behind this.
♪♪
I thought
I saw something.
ROSITAS: When it comes to
interactive entities,
everyone's guard should be up.
What does it want?
What does it want to do?
You have to be cautious,
you know.
♪♪
NARRATOR: On the main floor,
Len has a terrifying experience.
I saw a figure around the porch.
It had the form of
a human being,
but I wasn't able to
determine the face
or anything like that.
♪♪
NARRATOR: Len rushes outside,
but no one's there.
♪♪
I realize I didn't
hear footsteps,
and then my mind
automatically said,
"Well, you just saw something
out of the paranormal."
NARRATOR: He scans the area
in hopes of finding
the figure, but instead,
something much more sinister
finds him and att*cks.
Oh, my God!
♪♪
NARRATOR: At the notorious
Kaske House in Indiana,
paranormal investigator
Len Miller believes
he has seen
the ghost of the woman
thought to be haunting the home,
but when he goes to find her,
something malevolent finds him.
Oh, my God!
Oh! [ Grunts ]
He felt like,
at one point, that
there were, like, a group
of people around him.
[ Miller groaning ]
I didn't have any idea
what was happening,
but I felt like I was gonna
have to fight for my life
to get out of there.
NARRATOR: In sheer terror,
Len hurries inside,
hoping to find safe haven there.
♪♪
Outside was something
I couldn't explain,
something that I felt
wanted to hurt me,
and it was something that
I had to get away from.
♪♪
NARRATOR: He calms his nerves
and steels himself
to investigate one of
the epicenters of the activity,
the bedroom where
Helen's mother d*ed.
There he witnesses
something unforgettable.
♪♪
I was shocked.
I saw this woman peeking around
the corner at us,
trying to see what
we were doing.
I realized it was somebody
who's not of this world
the moment I saw it.
NARRATOR:
He thinks this must be Helen.
MILLER: She appeared to
be an older lady.
Her hair was in the style
that Helen liked to wear.
The best way I
could describe her,
she was solid but she was
also opaque at the same time.
It was almost as
tangible as you or I.
ROSITAS: Len says there's
something in the hallway.
There's a shadow, like a woman
that's standing there.
I couldn't turn around
there fast enough to
actually look
and see this for myself,
but I knew, by looking at him,
something got his attention.
♪♪
Did you see that?
JC, she's right here!
I went to try and find her,
but there was nobody
on that floor.
I went downstairs
and there was nobody there.
The doors and windows
were all shut and locked
so there's no way they
could have gotten out
without me seeing it.
NARRATOR: Then, suddenly,
the atmosphere
of the home changes in
the most unexpected way.
It was almost like
a calm type of atmosphere.
It doesn't seem to have
this overbearing sense
that there's something
to be afraid of.
MILLER: I didn't feel
any animosity,
I didn't feel anything
that would make me worry.
I think she understood
why we were there.
I don't think she
particularly liked it
because somebody
was in her house,
but I think she accepted it.
NARRATOR:
After the investigation,
they present their findings.
-Do you need help?
-I'll be all right.
At this time, the Munster
Historical Society,
with the overwhelming evidence
that we have given them,
have proclaimed
the Kaske House to be haunted.
NARRATOR: To this day, the house
is still very active.
♪M
JC and Len believe
several entities,
both good and bad,
remain there.
As for the ominous
paranormal behavior,
I'm not really sure what
it means or stands for.
♪♪
ROSITAS: If I had to say that
there's anything
that's still lingering in my
mind about the Kaske House,
is getting that
big root question
that we all have as
investigators -- why?
Why are these things happening?
♪♪
NARRATOR: This investigation is
one of their most memorable,
and they still visit the
Kaske House from time to time.
MILLER: We don't mean any harm,
we certainly mean no disrespect.
We don't want to bother you if
you don't want to be bothered.
Helen knows me,
the entities know me,
so I do firmly believe
they realize that
I have a great deal of respect
and love for the house,
I would never do
anything to harm it.
