14x07 - Hell's Kitchen

[bunniefuu]

[Amy] He looked half b*rned

and like half decomposed.

This is very bad.

Like I think I am dying.

My marriage is in trouble.

He's always angry,

it seems when he's here.

Do you love your wife?

I feel like something here

is working against us.

Uh-oh! I think I'm really,

really hurt.

[Julio]

Like I just wanna walk away

and just don't look back.

It's not a good situation.

[Amy] He wants everyone

to just leave.

He wants to be left alone.

He wants the person dead.

My name is Amy Allan.

I see dead people.

I saw a winged creature.

I speak to dead people

and they speak to me.

This person feels like

a monster.

There's only one way to know

if my findings are real.

They're sucking the life out

of these people.

I rely on my partner.

I'm Steve DiSchiavi.

I'm a retired New York City

homicide detective.

So how many bodies

are we talking?

And I know every person,

every house

has secrets.

It's my job to reveal them.

But Steve and I,

we never speak.

We never communicate during

an investigation.

Until the very end.

Ooh, you're not gonna

like this.

When we uncover if

it's safe for you to stay.

I'm sorry. I think I need to

take a break.

Or time to get out.

It wants inside the house

because it wants to k*ll you.

[Steve]

I'm here in the coastal city

of Bluffton, South Carolina.

It's a couple of hours South

of Charleston.

I got a call from a small

business owner named Michelle

and she sounded

a little upset.

Tells me whatever is going on

inside her restaurant

is destroying her health

and her marriage.

Desperate. My husband and I,

we are desperate.

We have

a lot of activity here.

I don't think we're gonna

be here very much longer.

[Steve]

My heart goes out to Michelle.

And I'm hoping

we can help her out,

so she doesn't have to

shut down her family business.

[Amy] Oh, boy.

I am very anxious here.

It's like to the point

where I'm shaking.

I don't know why

but it's making me very upset

and anxious.

[sighs]

[Steve] So Michelle,

when I drive up

and I looked at this place,

I'm like,

"Oh, living the dream.

She has her own restaurant."

But you sounded

pretty desperate on the phone.

[Michelle] I am desperate.

We took this place over

about four years ago.

Okay.

We've been

really successful here

but it's coming

at a huge cost.

My marriage is in trouble.

The only explanation

could be paranormal.

Can you do me a favor

and just give me a list

of what's going on here?

We hear voices.

Mood swings to mood changes.

We see apparitions.

You feel like

you're constantly

being watched.

And my health

has deteriorated.

What's going on

with your health?

My health has suffered

really bad.

I had a heart att*ck,

I had a stroke.

I was recently diagnosed

as a type one diabetic.

I have vertigo.

I have all over pain.

So I gotta tell you,

Michelle. I can't believe

this help list

of issues you have.

Yeah, it's embarrassing.

[chuckles]

Well, it's not embarrassing.

I mean,

do you think the paranormal

is causing this?

It's the only thing

that makes sense to me.

You said to me

that the paranormal here

is trying to wreck

your marriage.

I mean,

what do you mean by that?

He's always angry,

it seems when he's here.

He thinks everyone is out

to get him.

Honestly, little paranoid.

Depressed, quiet, withdrawn.

Now what about you?

Have you had

these mood changes?

I don't get angry.

I get really depressed.

Okay.

I don't feel well

when I'm here.

I don't wanna be here.

What do you think

whatever is here wants?

I just felt like

whatever it was

just didn't want us here.

And it was gonna do that

just by making him miserable,

until he just left.

Or making me sick enough

till I was dead.

Yeah.

I'm sorry. Here.

Thank you.

Sometimes I feel like

it's gonna be okay.

And then sometimes I feel like

we just need to leave.

Have you thought about that?

We have but we have put

everything we have...

-Right.

-...into this place.

We don't have really

a lot of options.

[Amy] I'm seeing

a lot of dead people

around me.

Yeah, there's a lot of [bleep]

dead here, man.

They're coming like this.

These are some men.

I don't know why

there are so many dead here.

I don't know. It's weird.

There are a lot of dead

that are coming

and going around here.

They want to leave.

They're mainly

trying to get help,

trying to get

people's attention.

[Steve]

What's going on in here?

[Michelle]

A lot happens in the bar.

In this area in particular,

you feel like

you're always being watched.

Like there's always

someone here.

It's a really

uncomfortable feeling.

Okay.

So while we're sitting here,

do you feel this now?

I feel something.

I don't feel the same

as if I were alone.

Okay, so anything else?

Sometimes I'll be seated

at the end of the bar,

and I'll see a shadow

walk from the kitchen

to the door.

Obviously,

this is the main road

out here.

Mmm-hmm.

Couldn't it have been

something going by

on the road?

No, because it's different.

This clearly looked

like a person walking

on the other side.

-Do you think you're going

a little nutty here?

-Sometimes.

[Amy]

I see one tall shadow figure

to the left.

And then a bunch

of little shadow figures.

The two adult size ones,

both do seem

to be female shaped.

If people were to interact

with them or see them,

it would be mostly out here

in this area.

And what is it they'd see?

[Amy] They would see shadows,

all different heights.

It's making me very upset

and anxious.

[Steve]

Okay, so anything else?

Every single employee of mine,

including myself,

has fallen in this restaurant.

Has everybody fallen

in the same place?

Yes, there's two locations.

-One is right here in the bar

in this area.

-Okay.

And the other place is going

from the dining room

into the hallway

to the kitchen.

So there's no liquid

on the floor or anything

like that causing it?

No. In the bar,

two people have actually said

they feel like

they were pushed.

So did anybody get badly hurt?

The one girl ended up going

to the hospital.

She didn't work

for a few weeks.

Are you concerned that

since it's now going

after employees,

that it may start going

after customers?

Absolutely, yeah.

So with everything

you're telling me, Michelle,

it sounds like

you're trying to save

the business you love,

the man you love.

But it also sounds like,

we may be trying to save

your life here

because it sounds like you're

in danger.

As the years go on,

I feel more

and more like that.

[cameraman]

Any idea why there are

so many dead here?

[Amy]

The dead just don't rest here.

They don't move on.

They need assistance.

What kind of affect

would all of this traffic have

on the living?

I think they would have quite

a lot of experiences.

It would be very draining

for them, I think.

This is just a weird thing

that I have encountered.

It's just inexplicable.

It's just bizarre.

[Steve] So Alexandra,

I understand you work here?

I do.

-Have you had

experiences here?

-Yes.

Okay. So let's talk about

one of them.

One night I was sitting

at the bar with my co-workers,

and I got poked.

You got poked, where?

I got poked in the middle

of my shoulder blade.

-Okay, on your back?

-Yeah.

Could something

might have fallen

from the ceiling?

I mean, there's Palmetto bugs.

This is the South.

Could anything have hit you?

No, no. This was a poke

from the back.

Okay. So anything else?

I see the apparition

of two different women.

Do me a favor and tell me

about the first one?

She appears to be a showgirl.

Something you'd see

in Vegas like at a show?

Yeah. It reminds me of that.

So, now you said there

was a second one?

There's an older woman

with a little girl.

Okay.

They're around

the type period.

What do you think the entities

that are here want?

I think they wanna occupy

the space.

And I think they want to

take over anybody who's here.

There's a woman

and she's wearing this dress.

And it reminds me of

like a pageant kind of dress.

I'm seeing another woman,

besides the one

in the pageant dress.

She's looking very much

like a bar girl

out of the old West.

The woman

in the pageant looking dress,

very much tried to be seen.

She says

that she's knocking a lot.

So I'm assuming she's knocking

on the bar.

The other thing is like,

I think there's

a living female

who's seeing this dead woman.

I think she freaked out.

This other woman,

who I think was a prost*tute,

she does stuff

in the bathroom.

I think she chooses

the bathroom to make people...

you know,

it's the most uncomfortable,

people are

the most vulnerable. Yeah.

[Steve]

Julio, it's good to see you.

Congratulations

on all the success

of the restaurant.

I hear you guys got

a bunch of awards.

But it sounds like it came

at a price

with all the paranormal stuff

going on here.

Yes, we've been having

a lot of problems

ever since we get in here.

What's going on?

What have you experienced?

I see a lot of shadow figures.

Okay. Do me a favor

and tell me about them.

-I think it's a family.

-Really?

It's a family

because all the figures

that I've seen,

they look different.

So you've seen

a lot of these shadow figures?

Yes, like five or six.

[laughs]

I'm surprised you

haven't ran out of here.

-It crossed my mind

a few times.

-I bet you it has.

What else is going on?

Things disappear.

I know that I leave like,

meat tenderizer, or a Kn*fe,

and I come back

and it's not there.

I look everywhere

and I don't find it.

And when I stop looking,

they just appear.

All right. Now you're sure

that it's not some employee

messing around with you?

No because I'm by myself.

Anything else?

The plates, they sound like

they're wobbling.

Like if somebody

was stacking up more plates.

Okay. Show me what

it might sound like

with the dishes.

Can you do that?

Sure.

[clanking]

-Like that.

-All right.

So that's annoying.

I know you have

a lot of truck traffic

out here.

Could the truck traffic,

the weight of the truck make

these things rattle?

No, because they are heavy.

[Amy]

I encountered a dead male.

He's in his death state.

So he's sitting

on a wooden rocking chair.

He looked half b*rned

and half decomposed.

He's wearing a vest,

and he's got a hat on.

And I said,

"What do you want?"

He said he wants everyone

to just leave.

He wants to be left alone.

This seems to be more where

the dude in the rocking chair

hangs out.

I think he does do things

in this area.

Uh, to try to get people

out of here.

He says, he's like

throwing [bleep].

He's making

extremely loud noises.

You know, to me

it almost sounds like,

if you took the pots

and the pans,

and you banging them together,

you know, like, uh,

metal on metal,

you know what I mean,

like bang, bang, bang,

-clatter, clatter, clatter.

-[utensils clattering]

So that's his thing.

That's his situation.

[Steve] Anything else?

I get a lot of mood changes.

Michelle told me about this.

Describe what kind of mood

changes we're talking about.

-Just, out of nowhere

I get really angry.

-Okay.

And I don't know why,

but if I'm not angry,

I feel dead, like, depressed.

-Okay.

-But just when I'm here.

When I talked to Michelle,

she actually thinks that

your marriage is in danger,

with all this

mood stuff going on.

Yes. I've been thinking

to leave everything,

to leave my wife,

the restaurant, the house,

just to walk.

-Do you love your wife?

-Yes, I do.

-And you don't wanna

leave her?

-No.

Do you think whatever

is here is putting

these thoughts in your head?

Yes. I feel like something

here is working against us.

Whatever is in here,

it's affecting me,

trying to do something

to make us fight and...

[Amy] I just feel really weak.

I feel like I can't

control my legs.

This is coming from

the guy in the rocking chair.

I don't think that this

would be a very comfortable

area to be in.

Would the living have

any experiences with this?

You definitely feel fear.

And an insane amount of fear

and anxiety.

[Steve] So, I did

some digging,

and it turns out that

Michelle and Julio's

restaurant

sits right in the middle

of an old plantation.

I'm heading over

to meet a local author

who says the place ended up

literally going up in flames.

So, Dr. Rowland,

I appreciate you

meeting with me

and helping me out

with this case.

So let's get down to it,

who owned this plantation

that my client's property

is built on?

The Carlton family.

Uh, they acquired it in ,

after the Indian Wars.

Did this Carlton family live

on the plantation

and oversee everything?

-What did, how'd it work?

-No. They lived in Charleston.

They left the work

to the overseer, uh,

and slaves.

Maybe slaves

on that plantation.

That's a lot of slaves though.

So, what were the living

conditions like, if they

didn't live there?

Did they have a house

for the overseers, you know,

how'd it work?

Yes, they would've had

a large house

for the overseers,

and small cabins on the street

for the slaves.

So doctor, you mentioned

on the phone to me that

the plantation literally went

up in flames. What year did

that happen?

.

Okay, so do the Carltons

still own the property

when it went up in fire?

Yeah. It was owned

by Louisa Carolina Carlton.

And here is her portrait.

All right, so Doctor,

what caused the fire?

The British Army, on their way

to Charleston in , b*rned

the houses,

stole the goods,

destroyed the crops, and laid

waste to the country.

So, Doctor, you mentioned

there was almost slaves

on this plantation.

What happened to them?

Did they die in the fire?

I mean, did they get

taken prisoner?

Many would've left

with the British Army.

Some of those would've

found freedom in Canada

and Sierra Leone.

-Okay.

-And many d*ed.

Whatever happened to

Louisa Carolina?

Louisa Carolina d*ed in

and her son inherited

the property,

left mostly destroyed,

and he had to sell it off

to pay debts.

All that money that

the Carlton family had

was for nothing.

Pretty much disappeared.

Yeah.

[Amy] So I'm just hearing,

"Oh, no. There was land,

land, and land."

I'm seeing some, not well

made places.

Like I'm just seeing wood and

tiny wooden structures.

They are very small.

I see like,

maybe a handful

of these wooden,

uh, structures.

Then there's...

something else.

I don't know what that is.

It's a bigger structure.

I mean, it's better than

those, like shacks.

And the, I saw some fire

and everybody was scattering.

[Steve] So I just got

a call from a journalist

I worked with before.

He says, something happened

in that put a target on

every Black man in Bluffton.

I'm heading back to Michelle

and Julio's restaurant

to find out exactly

what happened.

So Barry, thanks for meeting

with me, I appreciate it.

So before we get

to what happened,

what can you tell me

about this town

during that time period?

Bluffton in .

Bluffton, South Carolina,

was about years

out of the devastation

of the Civil w*r.

-Okay.

-The Black people who lived

here were, Gullah Geechee.

They were from west Africa.

They were the descendants

of Black slaves.

And they were farmers.

And they made

a lot of money doing it.

All right. So this had to piss

a lot of people off.

Absolutely. Racial tensions

were fairly tough in the area.

Barry, do me a favor

and tell me about this unrest.

On June th, ,

a White woman claimed

that a Black man had come

into their home, accosted her,

put his hands

around her throat.

She was able to escape

and run to a neighbor's home,

and gave a description.

What did she describe him as?

She described him

as a Black man,

approximately six feet tall,

about years old.

All right so, I mean, how did

everybody react

to what happened?

Well, they were up in arms.

Immediately the White citizens

from the area started rounding

up posses.

Started looking for every

Black man in the community

as a possible suspect.

All right so, I take it that,

they just going around

picking up

any Black guy on the street

and taking them in.

That's right. And that

included a Black constable,

who was here with

the detective E.F. Hammond,

from the state police.

They were out looking

for these suspects,

and this Black constable

was basically arrested by some

of these posses,

twice before he said,

"I'm out of it. I'm leaving."

So let me get this straight.

There's a Black constable

working and trying to figure

what's going on.

-And even he became a suspect.

-He even became a suspect.

-That's right.

-[chuckles softly] Okay.

After the Black constable

left town,

Detective Hammond continued

searching for a suspect,

and he encountered a Black man

name William Jackson.

-Okay.

-He attempted to take

Mr. Jackson into custody.

Mr. Jackson ran away and

Detective Hammond sh*t him

in the back.

Okay, was this our guy?

Uh, absolutely he was not.

Not only was he not

the right guy,

he was years old.

All right. So this guy is

at least years older

than the suspect.

That's right.

-All right. So they k*lled

this guy for nothing.

-Right.

All right. So what ever

happened to Hammond,

the guy who sh*t

William Jackson?

His sh**ting was deemed

justified, so nothing

happened to him.

All right. So what about

this guy who did att*ck

this woman?

-Uh, did they ever find him?

-No.

All right. Do we think it was

all [bleep],

that she made it up?

It's a distinct possibility.

[Amy] So there's one male

that's joining me.

He's probably

in his early s.

He's a Black male.

He's telling me,

there was something going on,

uh, one night that was

really, uh, not good.

People were freaking out, and,

you know, people were running.

This incident was more around

the s.

And it k*lled up to two

or three people or something.

He is feeling guilty.

He didn't intend for things

to go that way.

He showed me

that he was back here.

He feels like he's been seen.

Like is he doing things

to people,

to try to get them to leave.

[Steve] So far, I got a couple

who believes that paranormal

is destroying their marriage

and their business.

On a property that was once

a plantation,

b*rned down

by British soldiers.

But I wanna see

if there is anything else.

Searching through

the archives,

I come across

the brutal m*rder

of a local rock star.

Turns out this guy's death

shocked not only

the community here,

but music fans

around the world.

So I managed to track down

the cop who responded

to the scene.

He promised to give me

a first-person account

of what happened.

Now he tells me that there are

still parts of this case that

haunt him till this day.

[Steve] Walter, I appreciate

you meeting with me

and helping me out.

So I understand the victim

in this m*rder case

was a local celebrity.

Yes, sir. His name was

Anthony "Toney" Hooks.

He was a musician,

and I got a picture of him.

Right there.

-This right, this is him?

-Yes, sir.

I grew up in the s,

This looks like,

Sly and the Family Stone.

-Is that who he played with?

-Yes and, George Clinton

and the Ohio Players.

This guy played with them?

Yeah, he got around.

He was pretty,

pretty well known.

I'd say, pretty famous.

Bluffton is pretty small,

it's a small town.

Did you know Toney?

Toney and I, basically

both grew up here.

We were friends.

Okay, let's move on to

the m*rder.

When did it happen?

It happened in .

January st.

I was working for the

Bluffton Police Department.

Okay, so take me through it.

What happened?

Okay, it was um, late night,

early morning,

I was sitting there with

the windows rolled down,

beautiful night,

-and heard a g*nsh*t.

-You heard the g*nsh*t?

I heard the g*nsh*t.

Probably a thousand yards

from right here,

and then I saw a set of

headlights leaving the scene,

you know, the area.

So I immediately turned

around the car,

and as we came up to

Highway ,

I attempted a traffic stop.

The car turned and

went towards

Savannah, Georgia.

I immediately fell in

behind him,

told my dispatch,

you know, basically, I heard

a g*nsh*t and I was trying

to stop this car.

-Okay, so you're assuming

this guy is the sh**t.

-Yeah. Yes.

-You try to pull him over,

he takes off, you give chase.

-He takes off. Yeah.

We continued towards Savannah,

-so the Savannah PD

set up a barricade.

-Okay.

And when he came through,

they got the car stopped

and took him out.

And he was arrested by

Savannah, Georgia,

and warrants went over

from South Carolina.

Okay. So where exactly

did the m*rder take place?

The front porch of this house.

-This house here?

-Yes.

Do we know

what kind of w*apon it was?

A shotgun.

Okay.

[Amy] I'm seeing

the m*rder*d man

in the rocking chair again.

Uh-oh. Uh-oh.

Somebody's in front of me.

Totally caught off guard,

you know what I mean,

was not expecting that at all.

It's dark and I'm, I'm scared.

What the hell was that,

like that,

I totally felt that.

You have any idea of when

that was?

I think this is pretty recent.

I'm thinking like,

like I got hit.

I got like punched

in the stomach.

And then I'm feeling very bad.

[echoing] Oh, my God.

I think I'm really,

really hurt. Really bad.

I feel like the person

went that way.

Who did this,

it's another male.

This is very bad.

Like I think I'm dying.

All right so this is where

Toney Hooks lived

and where he was m*rder*d.

Yes.

So the guy that k*lled him,

who was he? What the hell

was this all about?

The guy's name was

Peter Hynes.

Uh, he was from Hilton Head.

And he was a musician

over there.

And you mentioned on the phone

that something about this case

haunted you.

What was that all about?

Nobody knows why.

Never found out why.

-We don't have a motive?

-No.

-Whether it was

maybe jealousy, or--

-Never. Never got an answer.

We could never.

All the investigations,

just never came up

with anything on that.

So did he do any time?

He was arrested, was tried,

um, was found not guilty,

reason of insanity.

You're kidding me.

Toney never really

got justice.

Wow.

That's so sad to hear.

Still think about it.

There's got to be

an answer somewhere.

And I hope someday,

I'll get to find out what.

[Amy] During my walk

I saw several

disturbing things.

But two concerned me the most.

First, the group

of dead people

heading toward the restaurant.

I saw to people,

the majority were men.

And some were, like,

kinda following with purpose

towards me.

Next, the m*rder*d man

in the rocking chair.

The left side of his face

is kinda decomposing.

The right side looks b*rned.

So he had a big deep pot

with a long handle

and he was banging that.

Just make sure that

his right hand looks b*rned.

Amy, is that what you saw?

Yes, that's what I saw.

[Steve] Now that Amy

and I have completed

our investigations

we're ready to reveal

our findings to each other

and our clients

for the first time.

So guys, this is Amy.

She is gonna be doing a reveal

in a separate room

so she can focus on your case

and the dead,

without any distractions.

Amy, meet the owners

of this restaurant

this is Michelle, Julio.

Now they're a married couple,

for now.

Things are so bad

that they believe

their marriage

and even their lives

are in danger.

And even though they've poured

their hearts into this place,

if you can't help them,

they're ready to close

the place down and walk.

So unless Amy has got some

questions for you,

she'll tell us about her walk.

[Amy]

Before I even came inside

there were a lot

of dead people

coming towards me.

I kept hearing

"land, land, land."

Then I saw

a few wooden structures,

not well built,

and another structure

that was fairly large

and it was better condition

than these other little

wooden shack things.

Then I was shown a fire.

I just literally saw fire.

I was shown people running.

So Amy you said

you kept hearing "land, land,"

over and over again.

I think I might know why.

Now, the expert I spoke to

said this entire area

was part of a huge plantation

owned by a woman named

Louisa Carolina Carlton.

This is actually

a portrait of her here.

Louisa Carolina

was what they call

an absentee owner.

The plantation

was run by overseers

ho stayed in a large house

and the enslaved people

lived in little shacks.

-Now you mentioned

you saw fire, right?

-Yeah.

So in

during the height

of Revolutionary w*r,

the British came through here

on their way to Charleston.

Everything in the area

was looted

and b*rned to the ground.

The enslaved people ran off,

hoping to find their freedom.

So is it possible

this could be what

you might be running into?

Yeah, that's very possible.

Yeah.

[Steve] What did these

dead people want?

Most of them want to leave.

But they're stuck.

I did have a sketch done

of what I saw.

Christ, this looks

like something out of a movie!

Oh my God!

The way it feels, I think

I imagined, like, it will be

something like that.

So Amy, what would

it be like for people

to be always around, like,

this many dead people?

Consistent exposure to them

could make you sick

and could drain you

pretty severely.

So Michelle, when we spoke

you told me you are

but you feel like you're .

Tell Amy

what's going on with you.

When we were getting ready

to re-open two years ago

I had a heart att*ck.

I was only .

And then had a stroke.

That makes sense because

that's a lot of dead energy

that could drain you.

[Steve] Okay, so what else?

I saw a lot of

"shadow... figures."

Two of them were

female-shaped.

And the rest were smaller,

like, they're children.

So it made me very

uneasy and kinda shaky.

And I feel like people

would see them.

I would sit

at the end of the bar,

at the end of the night

and you would see this shadow,

I would think it was him.

I've seen this shadow-figure

by the door.

Everyday it was like see them

a little closer

and little closer

until it was like right by me.

So are these the same shadows

that are outside

or was it different?

There are so many dead people,

so it's hard to say.

[Steve] So what else?

The next two people

I'm gonna talk about quickly

are two females.

One woman looks like

she's straight out of 's

like pageant-circuit.

I saw her rapping on the bar

so, like, making knocking

noises of some type.

The second female

that I encountered,

she's from a long time ago,

like, you know, late s.

She hangs out

in the bathrooms,

especially the male bathrooms.

She likes to make people

feel very uncomfortable.

That's her thing.

[Steve] Amy, their employee,

Alexandra,

she has actually seen

both those apparitions.

Oh, oh. Okay.

She described the one female

as like a showgirl

and the other one

she said was older.

-So she saw both of them.

-[Amy] Okay.

But you mentioned

the men's room.

We never talked about that.

But have you had experiences

back there?

Oh, yeah. It's definitely

palpable, like you know

something there with you.

-Does that sound like

something this woman would do?

-Yeah.

Yeah, she's delightful.

[Steve] So what else, Amy?

[Amy] The last person that

I'm going to talk about

he's definitely an issue.

When I first encountered him

he showed me, him sitting in

an old wooden rocking chair.

I mean probably from

the late 's, early 's.

I got that he was m*rder*d.

That was extremely unexpected.

I think I'm really,

really hurt, really bad.

I feel like the person

went that way who did this,

it's another male.

This is very bad,

like, I think I'm dying.

Now, Bluffton

is a small town, right?

Most years they don't even

have murders here.

But what you're describing to

me sounds a lot like

the homicide

I came across in research.

Anthony "Toney" Hooks was

a famous guitar player

from Bluffton.

This is the guy right here

on the bottom.

Now, he played

with George Clinton,

the Ohio Players,

Sly and the Family Stone,

I know who this guy was.

I never knew he got m*rder*d.

On January st, ,

Hooks was in his

little house, right near here.

So about o'clock

at night a local musician

named Peter Hynes

showed up at his door.

Now Hooks answered

and Hynes

just sh*t him in the chest

with a shotgun.

Hynes took off,

and was later arrested

and tried

but he was found not guilty

by reason of insanity.

-Didn't serve a day in jail.

-[Amy] What?

So I talked to the retired cop

who actually helped to

arrest him that night.

He says the m*rder

still haunts him

to this day because

nobody to this day still

has a clue why he did it.

-What?

-[Steve] Yeah.

Amy, do you think Hooks

could be the dead guy

who is here?

Yeah, it could be.

You said, you were

very concerned about

this guy. How come?

He is pretty angry.

He does not want anyone here.

And I saw him, like,

in the kitchen area.

He is making

extremely loud noises.

You know, to me

it almost sounds like

if you took the pots

and the pans and were

banging them together

you know like, bang, bang,

bang, clatter, clatter,

clatter. So that's his thing.

And that I had it sketch done

of what I saw.

Wow!

I feel like somebody

was there.

I just didn't expect

that it was there, like,

all the time.

And that I actually

was sharing the space

with him.

You mentioned to me

about hearing

the plates and stuff?

A lot of times I hear

the plates moving,

the doors opening and closing.

Tell her about your

stuff going missing.

Sometimes my knives disappears

and then I look for it,

like for an hour

and finally when I give up,

you know, like, looking

for it, it just appears.

It make me feel like

really uncomfortable,

and, you know, like,

give me, like,

really the creeps.

[Steve] So Amy, this guy

is so physical,

I'm wondering

if he might be responsible

for tripping employees in

the hallway by the kitchen.

Every single employee

that we've had, has tripped,

um, at least once,

where they've gone down

on the ground.

That's not good at all.

Remember when I said

these guys' marriage

is in trouble?

Michelle believes

Julio has changed,

he's become angry.

You're irritated all the time,

right?

So I'm wondering if that

could be the influence

of this dead guy.

Do me a favor, tell Amy

how you have changed.

Since we got here,

my personality started

to change.

I'm turning, like,

really anti-social.

Either angry or depressed.

He was angry all the time

and he would have

these outbursts.

And he would yell

and he would say really,

you know, not nice things.

[Amy] It's highly likely that

you and this dead guy

are meshing with one another.

And you're taking on

all of his anger.

[Michelle] It makes sense.

We have no reason to fight.

Like, I just wanna walk away

and just don't look back...

It's not a good situation.

So guys, the South

has lot of history, you know.

Unfortunately it seems

like you guys are

still dealing with it.

But now let's answer

the big question,

"Can you keep this restaurant

open safely

and you guys get back

to a happy marriage?"

For that question I'm going

to turn it over to Amy.

The first thing that

I would recommend,

a medium should come

to the restaurant.

This medium should be

an attractive female.

Who is also very firm

in their approach.

This dead male will respond

more favorably

if this is the type

of individual

that approaches him.

-Is she gonna move

this person on?

-Yes.

Now, while

this is taking place,

Julio should be at the office

or location of

a Reiki practitioner.

Now what this person

will be doing is cutting

all chords and ties

with this dead male.

The second day,

a few psychics and mediums

should come

and move on all the dead

who want to move on.

The third day,

have the Reiki master

come to the restaurant.

Now what she will do

is cleanse

the entire restaurant.

And then placing up

protective barriers.

And that will keep out

all the rest

of these dead people.

You look stunned.

It's just a lot of process.

And it's just overwhelming.

The question I always ask is

are you gonna

take Amy's advice?

-Absolutely

-[Julio] Yes.

[Michelle] Yeah... I... Yeah.

Feels like, for the first time

in long time, you know,

there's hope.

Don't lie to me.

I wouldn't.

Okay.

I'm really happy with

everything that

we find out today,

and we're definitely

going to do everything

that Amy suggested.

Okay. She's already

snuggling up on you.

He's like, "Oh-no."

First time I seen you two

smile since I go here.

-I love you.

-I love you too.

So you know,

that makes me feel better.

[Amy] I really hope Michelle

and Julio contact a medium

to remove the m*rder*d man.

As well as all of the other

dead who are stuck

inside their restaurant.

I believe once they're

cleared out and Julio

works with the Reiki master,

their relationship

and their business

will grow stronger than

it was ever before.
