[eerie music playing]
[emergency dispatcher on phone] 911.
What's the nature of your emergency?
Hello?
[Celia] Sorry.
I must have been mistaken.
[menacing growl]
- [Celia screams]
[Eli] I'm Eli Roth.
I've spent my life
telling horror stories.
But imagine if those
stories were real
and suddenly you
found yourself stalked
and tormented by an evil spirit,
and no one believed you.
I wasn't going insane.
[man 1] Makes you feel helpless.
It was terrifying.
These are the actual
tales of terror
as told by you, the victim
who came face-to-face with
their demons and survived.
[Celia] I have to place this
over here, right?
[Celia] I regret challenging it
and provoking
the entity to show itself.
[interviewer] All right,
Celia interview, take one.
Oh, it's one
of the biggest regrets
that I have.
[eerie music playing]
[Celia] My friend just
happened to do a seance.
I have never been
through a seance.
I never really believed in it.
I was skeptic about it,
and I had to
experience it firsthand.
[intense music playing]
Hey, Ce. Thanks for coming.
I owe you big-time.
Remind me again
why we're doing this.
Okay, so it's not me.
It's my sister. [inhales sharply]
She found out someone died
in the house,
and now she thinks it's haunted.
[scoffs] Why doesn't she just move?
- [scoffs] I know. I know.
I just don't want
to be stuck alone
with my sister
and this weirdo she found.
[chuckles] Yeah, you're right.
You owe me.
- [Brooke chuckles]
[man 2] If there is an entity
with us, give us a sign.
Spirit, if you're here
with us, reveal yourself.
Spirit, we welcome you
into our circle.
Reveal yourself to us.
Oh, please.
- Celia.
[man 2] Spirit, we
welcome you into our circle.
Reveal yourself to us.
[table rattling]
The table is shaking. Really?
This guy is full.
[table screeches]
- [Celia screams]
What the hell was that?
Must be a wire.
Do you think that was fake?
Go ahead. Take a look.
[ceiling creaking]
Who else is home?
Nobody.
Think that was fake too?
After you.
[intense music playing]
[footsteps receding]
[door creaks open]
[Brooke] Be careful.
[footsteps approaching]
[eerie growl]
[Celia gasps]
[exhales sharply]
If there's anything out there,
come on out.
Face me.
Mmm-mmm. Coward.
[Celia screams]
Ce?
Ce?
- [Celia grunts]
What happened?
My back. My back.
Let me see.
- [Celia breathes heavily]
You've been
bitten.
What did you do?
[Celia grunts]
[Celia] I felt this
excruciating pain.
They noticed teeth marks.
I could feel
the burning sensation.
It comes on like if somebody had
stuck a hot iron on your back.
I was just sickened.
I was sickened. I was scared.
I had never, ever experienced
anything like that.
People play with fire and don't
understand what they're doing.
I could feel
the energy around me
was not, not the best of energy.
It felt really dark, menacing.
Was my very first experience,
and it certainly wasn't my last.
I was taken out
of the house to get some air,
to gather myself.
[Celia] When I got to my home,
it didn't feel like my home.
I didn't feel like myself.
I felt just out
of this world.
[keypad clacking]
[man 1 on TV] Keep him there.
[man 2 on TV] Started
lighting firecrackers,
antagonizing the dog.
- [dog barking on TV]
[man 2 on TV] Stop! What you doing?
You could get hurt.
[man 1 on TV] I own my puppy,
I can put it where I want.
Hey, are you gonna
step on that property?
Are you gonna
step on my property?
[man 3 on TV] These two would
do this daily.
Any time they saw each other,
there'd be someone
that would save them.
[dog barking]
[man 3 on TV] And Dean was
actually holding him to the ground
and letting his dog bite him.
[man 1 on TV] Look,
my dog didn't bite him.
[woman 1 on TV] There's a bite mark
on his hand. - [man 1 on TV] Yeah.
I did that.
[door knocks]
[kid 1 on TV] Dad, don't.
[door creaks open]
[young Celia]
That's not funny.
[intense music playing]
[wind whooshing]
[Celia] I was confused,
but there was no light
or objects there
to create that shadow.
[eerie music playing]
[Celia] A couple of days
after I was home
was when I started to
feel the change
in the atmosphere.
[objects clanking]
[ghost whispers]
[kettle thuds]
I felt, um, like I wasn't alone.
I felt like I was being watched.
[soft music playing]
[Celia] Johnathan and I are
like two peas in a pod.
We are each other's soul mate.
[Johnathan clears throat]
Celia makes me feel great.
I love her.
We love each other.
We met through my travels.
I wasn't really prepared
for the things that
I experienced with Celia.
So, the seance,
how did, uh how did it go?
It was weird.
What did you
You see something?
I don't really want to
[eerie music playing]
[Johnathan scoffs]
[indistinct]
Celia.
Celia.
Hey, is everything okay?
Yeah.
Yeah, everything's fine.
I, um
I think I'm in the mood for
something a little stronger.
[Johnathan scoffs]
Now you're talking. [chuckles]
[footsteps receding]
[low growl]
[Celia breathes heavily]
[Johnathan] What?
Nothing.
Cheers.
I thought that there was
somebody there with me.
Then it just disappeared.
[birds chirping]
[cellphone vibrates]
Hey, Brooke.
- [Brooke on phone] Hey, Ce.
Okay, are you free?
Spontaneous girls' night.
Jen and Becca are coming.
Um, I have some errands to run.
[Brooke on phone] Oh, come on.
I haven't seen you in weeks.
Fine, fine. I'll come.
What time?
[Brooke on phone] Pre-drink
at my place, 06:00 o'clock.
Six? I need some
time to get ready.
[Brooke on phone]
Okay. Well, then, hurry,
because we got
this amazing reservation.
[Celia screaming]
[Brooke on phone] Celia?
[Brooke on phone] Celia?
Are you okay?
Celia?
Hey, Brooke.
Yeah, I'm actually
not feeling great today.
Rain check.
[Brooke on phone]
Ce, what's going on?
Are you sure you're okay?
[young Celia] Yeah.
[Celia] The shadow
was very tall.
And I heard that
guttural growl again.
And the smell
the odor was sulfur.
I couldn't have anticipated
how bad things would get.
[panting]
[wind gushing]
[door creaks open]
[door slams shut]
[intense music builds]
[Celia] Things were
getting stranger by the day.
You would never, ever expect
to experience
what I experienced.
[stove knob rattling]
[drawer slides open]
Get together, Celia.
[drawer slides close]
- [kettle whistling]
[gasps]
I didn't know what to do.
[breathes heavily]
[Celia] I thought
I was going crazy.
[Johnathan] It's
a helpless feeling
whenever you're watching
someone that you love
have fear, anxiety,
and you just don't know why.
[intense music playing]
[object clattering]
[floorboard creaking]
[door creaks open]
[door shuts close]
[flicks switch off]
[object clattering]
[menacing growl]
- [Celia screaming]
[door knob locks]
[door rattling]
[door knob rattling]
[gasps]
Go!
[door creaks open]
- Go away!
[door rattling intensifies]
[door creaks open]
- [Celia gasps]
[eerie whooshing]
[floorboard creaks]
[emergency dispatcher on phone] 911.
What's the nature of your emergency?
Hello?
[floorboard creaks]
- Hello?
[young Celia] I think
someone's in my house.
[emergency dispatcher on phone]
We'll send over a squad car.
You get yourself
out of the house.
Ma'am?
No.
No, uh I'm sorry.
I was mistaken.
[intense music builds]
[menacing growl]
- [Celia screams]
Welcome back to
A Ghost Ruined My Life.
[menacing growl]
[Celia] It was at that moment
where the entire atmosphere
completely changed.
I could smell
the sulfur in the air.
I knew something was there
that targeted me,
and I was hurt pretty bad.
It was, uh, pretty,
pretty intense.
After what happened
to me and on the steps,
at that moment,
I had to figure it out.
[birds chirping]
[fridge door creaks]
[Brooke] The restaurant was amazing.
You would have loved it.
Mmm-hmm.
What's wrong?
Has anything
strange happened to you
since the night of the seance?
[Brooke chuckles]
Like, in what way?
Have you seen anything,
heard anything?
I believe something
definitely attached itself to me
since that seance.
Oh, like a ghost? [chuckles]
No. No.
Has anything weird
happened to you?
[Brooke] No, nothing.
What about your sister?
[Brooke] No.
She said whatever she
heard in the house stopped.
[Celia] I feel like I became
its chosen person
to torment.
And I don't know why
it did exactly that.
It tormented me at home.
I asked myself, "What
did I get myself into?
What did I
Why did I do that?
Why did I challenge it that way?
How could this be?"
And, uh
I feel that it's just
been something
that's just been
with me ever since.
[Celia] Just knowing
that somethings like that
out there, so strong,
so menacing, so evil
targeted me,
it's scary.
It was hard.
And there were times that
I actually felt like
I wanted to just give up.
[Johnathan] Something was off
and I couldn't,
couldn't do anything.
[intense music playing]
[eerie whooshing]
[intense music builds]
[door knocks]
[intense music playing]
[door banging]
[door banging continues]
[eerie music playing]
[Celia] I felt dark.
I, I was depressed.
I felt sad all the time,
and, and
my emotions were just
thrown off.
I distanced myself
from everyone,
my friends, my family.
[Johnathan] Celia didn't
want to do anything.
She would have a lot
of anxiety attacks.
[Celia] I'm normally
a very happy person.
I love people. I love life.
And I actually felt like
I hated everything.
[birds chirping]
[window taps]
- [Celia gasps]
[crows cawing]
[door creaks open]
[menacing growl]
[door creaks open]
[Celia] The guttural growl
that I heard
was not something
a human could do.
I honestly think it was demonic.
I did research on different
energies, different demons.
With everything
that I've read, um
and researched
entities are drawn to
people for a reason,
whether they are good or bad,
and they can attach themselves
to you from anywhere.
I was terrified.
I was feeling really, really
terrified and confused.
Um, I still wanted
to understand it
uh, but I was really
I was afraid.
[intense music playing]
[Celia] I challenged it.
I showed it I wasn't afraid.
Face me.
[menacing growl]
Mmm-mmm. Coward.
[Celia screaming]
[menacing growl]
[intense music builds]
[screams]
I pissed it off, and I think
that, that is the reason
why it attacked me,
it attached itself to me.
I felt like it was a fight
or flight moment for me.
I can either run
or I can face it.
And I decided I'm gonna fight.
I said, "You're not
going to scare me.
You're not going to bully me.
I'm not going
to let it happen."
So I faced it.
[demon] Coward!
[Celia choking]
Someone [coughs] help.
I don't want to die.
[menacing growl]
[gasps for air]
[panting]
[Celia] I was scared.
I thought, "That's it for me.
What do I do now?"
I didn't know what to do.
I felt like
my world was crumbling down.
[sobbing]
[breathes heavily]
I smelled sulfur.
[breathes heavily]
[Celia] Kind of like
a rotted flesh.
[sobbing]
[Celia] Jonathan
didn't really know
my experience until I told
him what happened to me,
and he could either
think I was nuts
or he could believe me.
Yeah, Celia, she was
a little nervous about
telling me,
a little apprehensive.
She wasn't quite sure
how I would take it.
He was like, "Wow, you know, that's pretty
that's pretty crazy."
And I had asked him
if he believed me.
Of course, I believe you.
Why would you lie to me?
[Celia] One night I woke up,
I told him that
my back was burning,
and he saw
the scratches on my back.
I was I was dead asleep.
It's not something
that I did to myself.
I don't keep nails.
I have very short nails.
[interviewer speaking]
- No.
Honestly, if anyone else
would have told me that,
I don't think I would
have believed them,
but coming from her, I,
I believed what she was telling me.
She was a little nervous about
telling me about that story
of what she experienced in
that house with her friends.
So obviously I had questions
about what had happened,
um, if it could
have been staged,
if it was faked, if someone
else was doing that,
and she said that she
thoroughly investigated the area
and none of it was, was faked.
So that was just something that
really shocked me, you know,
for something
like that to happen.
And then the things
that occurred
after that and still occur
is even more still to this
day, it's still surprising.
Something definitely
followed her home that night,
and it has been with her
ever since then.
Unfortunately,
when you do things like that,
you know, you're opening yourself
up to all kinds of bad things.
What should I do?
We fight it.
[Johnathan] When we
first moved in together,
it absolutely made us stronger
in our relationship
and everything else in between.
For the first time,
it was very positive.
I had, uh, decided
I was gonna try
to make things
feel like home again.
And showered, I cleaned
my place, I did laundry,
I went out to the store.
I was trying to feel
like myself again.
[soft music playing]
[footsteps receding]
[birds chirping]
[footsteps approaching]
[soft music playing]
[music box melody playing]
Beautiful.
I got to run a few errands.
You want to come with?
Tuck on a little lunch date?
Jonathan?
[Johnathan snoring]
[keys jangle]
[door creaks open]
[door slams shut]
[eerie music playing]
[menacing growl]
[music box melody playing]
[eerie music playing]
[Johnathan choking]
- [menacing growl]
[Johnathan choking]
[Johnathan screams]
[menacing growl]
- [Celia screams]
Baby. It's okay.
It's okay. It's okay.
- [Johnathan] What?
It's okay. It's okay.
- [Johnathan breathes heavily]
[Johnathan] It's
a very helpless feeling
when you're attacked
like that and you,
you literally can't move,
you can't do anything.
It's very, very scary when
something like that happens.
Something physically
held me down.
I didn't think things could
get this bad, honestly.
But they, they did.
[Celia] I felt like,
"You know what?
You're trying
to hurt someone I love."
You're trying to take
advantage of someone I love.
I'm not gonna
allow you to do that.
[Celia] That following day
was when we
reached out to a priest.
[footsteps approaching]
I was worried.
I was worried about him.
I was also worried
is it the attachment that I have
that's attacking him now,
it's targeting him?
I didn't want it to
scare him away.
I didn't want to lose him
you know, to something that was
trying to put fear into him.
I want to make sure
that we are protected.
We're down to battle whatever
it is that we have to battle.
And it can become exhausting.
It can be depleting.
We have to focus and just
fight it.
[Johnathan] Faith
is a big thing for us.
With what we deal with,
it's overwhelming.
It would be hard to
deal with it without faith.
I don't know what we would do.
[intense music playing]
[inhales and exhales sharply]
Let us begin.
So the priest that came by,
he, uh, he was prepared.
[priest chanting] Amen.
[Celia] He went
from room to room
closets, bathrooms.
He went throughout
the entire house.
Started from upstairs,
worked his way all the way downstairs.
[intense music builds]
[priest chanting]
[priest] Find this
passage in your Bible.
If it comes back recite it.
[Celia] It made me feel like
I was protected.
[door creaks shut]
It made me feel safe again
and, uh, my home
felt better after that.
[intense music builds]
[keyboard clacking]
[floorboard creaks]
[music box melody playing]
Jonathan?
[melody continues playing]
Celia?
[melody intensifies]
[eerie music playing]
[menacing growl]
Celia!
[Celia screaming]
[door slams shut]
Stay tuned for
the horrifying finale
of A Ghost Ruined My Life.
And now the terrifying finale
of A Ghost Ruined My Life.
[Johnathan breathes heavily]
[Celia struggling and screaming]
[Johnathan] Celia.
- [Celia screaming]
Celia. The prayer.
Recite the prayer.
[menacing growl]
Be our safeguard against the
wickedness and snares of the devil.
Prince of the Heavenly Host,
thrust into hell all evil spirits.
[menacing growl]
- Who wander through the world
seeking the ruin of souls.
[menacing growl]
- Amen!
[door slams open]
[breathing heavily]
[sobbing]
[Johnathan panting]
[Celia sobbing]
[Celia panting]
Baby.
[Celia] I honestly think that that
entity was trying to finish me,
trying to
take me with it.
I took it as
a challenge to face it,
and to challenge it with prayer.
I wasn't gonna let it take me.
I started to pray
and pray.
And it finally let me go.
[Celia] I could go
anywhere in the world
and it still
reminds me every day
that it's with me.
Normally what I do is
I'll burn the palo santo.
This is um, holy wood,
sacred wood.
Has a great smell. It's sweet.
Uh, we would burn this
along with the white sage.
And I always recite Saint
Michael's prayer protection
over and over again.
Saint Michael, the Archangel,
defend us in battle.
Be our protection against the
wickedness and the snares of the devil.
May God rebuke
him, we humbly pray,
and do thou, O Prince
of the Heavenly Host. Amen.
You are no longer welcome here.
It's time for you to go.
Any negative energy here
your time is up.
[birds chirping]
[soft music playing]
[Johnathan] Our engagement,
it's brought us together.
I absolutely feel stronger
as a couple facing this.
[Celia] Our bond is very strong
and it continues to be strong.
When we don't cleanse the house
and time goes by,
um the atmosphere changes,
the dark energy increases,
it becomes stronger.
[Johnathan] Celia.
- Just a sec.
[Celia] We have
to focus and just
fight it.
It's like a game
of hide and seek for it,
it's hiding
and it comes out when
you let your guard down.
I have to just keep going.
I'm not gonna let it
get the best of me.
[intense music playing]
[Eli] Do you have
a supernatural stalker?
We want to tell your story.
