I've never experienced

rocks being thrown at me.

NARRATOR: In Indiana...

[ Girl giggling ]

...an abandoned hospital

may not be as empty

as it appears.

It sounded like

a slow, heavy scratch,

one that kinda

makes your gut cringe.

MAN: Come on.

NARRATOR:

And in New York state,

a night at a museum

is no kid's movie.

MAN: Whoa! You all right?

WOMAN: This spirit really

is just out to be

harmful and vengeful

for no reason at all.

It wasn't sitting well

NARRATOR:

Construction grinds to a halt,

and desperate to find answers,

Ed reaches out

to paranormal investigators.

BONNER: Ed gave us a call

and needed help.

He was having trouble with

what they believed

paranormal activity

while he was doing

the restoration at the precinct.

♪♪

NARRATOR: Todd Bonner

is the co-founder

of Detroit Paranormal

Expeditions.

His motivation is clear.

BONNER: My ultimate goal

as a paranormal investigator

is to...

really just find answers

for the unknown.

You know,

there's so many questions

and the field is so vast.

It's a passion, I love doing it,

and it changes

with every investigation.

NARRATOR: And his preparations

for a ghost hunt are unique.

The way I prepare

for an investigation,

I usually listen to Van Halen,

"Diver Down" album.

I'll have Froot Loops

for breakfast in the morning.

And I try to clear my mind

to figure out what we're

gonna walk into.

♪♪

NARRATOR: An investigation

in a former police precinct

holds a particular significance

for Todd.

BONNER: For me personally,

my dad was a police officer,

so I actually wanted to do

this investigation even more.

I was always around police

stations when I was growing up.

I felt comfort there

because that's where my dad

did his work.

NARRATOR: Todd's plan is to

spend the night at the precinct,

together with team members

Jeff Adkins,

Lauren Sorino,

and Brandy Miller.

Hey, is anybody here?

NARRATOR: Team member Jeff

is immediately disturbed

by the feel of the precinct.

The atmosphere

of the th precinct,

when we walked in

for the first time,

you could definitely feel

the energy in the place.

Almost makes you feel

kinda like you're on a boat,

the way that the energy

affects you,

kind of affects

your balance, even.

NARRATOR:

The investigators begin

setting up their equipment

in the hope of recording

some spirit activity.

But they're interrupted

by something unexplained.

[ Whistling ]

Do you hear that?

So when we were investigating

the first floor,

I heard whistling coming down,

out of that long hallway that

leads back to the jail cells.

BONNER:

We started asking questions,

"Is anyone back there?"

We started to walk

towards the back.

NARRATOR:

The precinct seems deserted...

Who's out there?

...until the investigators

replay their audio recording.

MAN: It was right back here.

And we got an EVP saying,

"They're back here."

No one else back there,

but a clear voice saying,

"They're back here."

Who's here with us?

It was an EVP that was

so loud and clear,

that the first time

we actually missed it,

because it sounded

so much like a person.

...right back here.

NARRATOR: Impressed by

the early signs of activity,

Todd leads the team

deeper into the building.

♪♪

I sense something.

The energy in this place

just seemed to be increasing.

It seemed to be getting

stronger, more apparent.

You can feel the heaviness.

It was a dark feeling.

I feel a presence here.

Brandy got her hair touched,

in a light touch.

♪♪

[ Brandy screams ]

BONNER:

We, as male investigators,

felt like we weren't wanted

in that area.

Because it was

a male cell block,

obviously they liked

the girls being there.

Could have been the first time

any women have been back there

in, you know, years.

♪♪

NARRATOR: Rattled,

the investigators decide to move

to another part of the building.

BONNER: Brandy had said that,

you know,

"You guys should

probably want to move

'cause you're not wanted

in this area."

So we said we're gonna go to

the basement area.

NARRATOR:

But they quickly discover

that there's to be no respite

in the basement.

We're not alone.

When you go down to

the basement, it's very dark.

It seems like a dark presence

in the basement.

No.

♪♪

Go straight ahead.

Hello?

Is anybody out there?

Dietrichs.

We started an EVP session.

[ Men speak indistinctly ]

MAN: You guys heard a voice

down there before.

♪♪

We got a really loud, clear

EVP saying, "Dietrichs."

BONNER: Was he warning us

not to go down there?

Was he just telling us his name

to let us know he was there?

NARRATOR:

Despite their anxiety,

the sheer volume of evidence

they're collecting

means they're not ready

to call it a night.

♪♪

The team presses on

through the basement.

But then, things take

an aggressive twist.

BONNER: Brandy and I actually

had a personal experience.

We felt something rush at us...

♪♪

...where she actually jumped

on my shoulder.

We both felt this presence

come towards us.

The presence felt

very aggressive.

It made me turn.

Like, I turned against the wall,

and she jumped on me.

We both felt this rush

come at us.

I just started to turn away,

and she felt it, too,

and started to run

and then grabbed me,

for, I guess, protection.

Just a natural instinct.

NARRATOR:

In Detroit, Michigan,

a deserted police precinct

has revealed

some aggressive spirit presence.

[ Clattering ]

-LAUREN: It's rocks!

NARRATOR:

But just how aggressive

these paranormal investigators

are about to find out.

I am just in disbelief

when the rocks start

being thrown at me

because I've been to a lot

of paranormal investigations,

in different states --

prisons, asylums,

hospitals, you name it.

I've never experienced

rocks being thrown at me.

Who's ever out there

throwing rocks, throw more!

BONNER: And then we started

asking it again,

"Who's doing that?

Can you throw more rocks?"

It kept throwing more rocks

at people.

"Can you throw one at Brandy?"

Threw one at Brandy.

"Can you throw one at Jeff?"

Threw one at Jeff.

MAN: Whoever was

throwing the rocks...

[ Speaks indistinctly ]

Can you throw a rock...

[ Speaks indistinctly ]?

[ Clattering ]

[ Speaks indistinctly ]

-What was that?

[ Clank ]

ADKINS: That was the first time

we'd experienced that,

and it was these

little, tiny pebbles

would just hit us.

And they weren't falling.

They would hit you with

some force...

♪♪

...but we couldn't explain it.

Who's throwing rocks?!

So she said,

"Who's throwing rocks?"

and we caught an EVP

sounding like

someone saying, "It's them."

[ Woman speaks indistinctly ]

...at me.

♪♪

ADKINS: So the voice that

we captured is very whispery.

It certainly wasn't

a person in the room.

It sounded kind of like,

"It's them," whispery.

But it, I mean, it sounded

completely different

from the voice of anybody

who was with us.

[ Woman speaks indistinctly ]

...at me.

NARRATOR: The violent activity

proves too much

for one team member.

MAN: You okay?

WOMAN: No, that was

right directly in front of us.

Somebody put the light down here

and get me the [Bleep]

out of here, now.

When the rocks start

being thrown like that,

the other people were

very shaken up as well.

One of them was thrown

right in front

of one of the psychic mediums,

and she actually says, "That

was right in front of here.

Get me the [Bleep] out of here."

-Nope! No. No, no, no.

♪♪

NARRATOR: But against

their better judgment,

those remaining decide to

continue with the investigation.

So Brandy is picking up

on these male spirits.

They're still with us.

And they're, I think,

getting even more unhappy with

the fact that we're there.

BONNER: I feel a coldness,

but she would say,

"They're right there.

Do you feel them right there?"

The only thing I could feel

at that point

was a coldness around my face,

no other part of my body.

But other than that,

we couldn't see or feel anything

that she was telling us.

NARRATOR: In one final effort

to capture some visual evidence,

the team snaps some photos.

We snap a photo,

and the photo shows me,

and it looks like a light

anomaly is coming towards me.

And it also looks like

there's one

right in front of the camera.

That's really interesting

because there are

two light anomalies,

and if there were two spirits

following Todd and me,

two male spirits,

maybe former police officers,

it could be them

showing up in the photo.

NARRATOR: The investigators

have one more tool

at their disposal.

♪♪

We had the geobox going,

which is the spirit box,

and it scans radio stations

really quickly,

and sometimes full sentences

will come through.

Do you want us here?

BONNER:

We're asking questions like,

"Do you like us being here?"

and we get a voice clear,

saying, "Be gone"...

[ Clattering ]

[ Man speaks indistinctly ]

♪♪

...and that was pretty much

the end of our night.

Something about the voice

just had

a very authoritative tone,

like it was telling us

to be gone, and we listened.

Get the hell out of here

before I k*ll you!

We don't provoke.

We don't keep pushing.

Usually, when someone tells us

to leave or be gone,

we'll respect their wishes.

Guys, we need to

get out of here now!

Come on!

NARRATOR: In light of

the undeniable hostility,

Todd finally decides it's time

to end the investigation.

♪♪

The spirits have control

of the building...for now.

The th precinct's probably

one of the most haunted places

I've ever investigated.

NARRATOR:

But for this paranormal team,

the overriding feeling is that

occupants of the precinct

should coexist,

the living and the dead.

For us to give it their voices

back and let them be heard

is a feeling

you can't even describe.

It's overwhelming,

and I think that

we showed them respect.

And for them to be able to talk

and let them know that

they're still there,

that they're not gonna leave,

and that they appreciate

what's happening

at that precinct right now.

The reports reach paranormal

law enforcement officer,

Alan's true passion

has always been ghost hunting.

I don't discriminate.

I love all of the paranormal.

[ Laughs ] I mean,

I enjoy investigating all types

of paranormal activity.

NARRATOR: Alan's partner

in the paranormal

is his daughter Anna.

She shares

her father's passion,

but is all to familiar with

the risks involved.

The paranormal

can be very dangerous.

Without experience and research

ANNA: When we initially got

to the hospital,

we were informed a little girl

known as Elizabeth

liked to hang out

around the basement.

Her mom was actually a patient

at the hospital

and Elizabeth was taken in...

away as well from tuberculosis.

-Anything?

They decide to use a K meter

to confirm a spirit presence.

Elizabeth?

♪♪

Can you tell me if

you're here?

I was really wanting to try

to connect with Elizabeth

and kept asking

if she was present.

NARRATOR: But despite

Anna's eagerness

to make contact with Elizabeth,

she is cautious.

Bad negative forces

can manipulate your mind,

and I think they probably know

that the children

are my weakness.

Like, I enjoy investigating

and communicating with

the younger.

And I wanted just, to really

verify that it was her,

so I had asked a few times,

"Do this again if you're

really Elizabeth."

And she continued to spike

the K meter.

NARRATOR: But Elizabeth is ready

to take things a step further.

Aah! [ Gasps ]

Elizabeth just grabbed my hair.

-What?

ALAN:

While we were in the morgue,

Anna experienced little tugs...

-[ Gasps ] Oh!

...stroking her hair.

Elizabeth, it's okay.

At that point, I was excited.

I felt I was communicating

with this little girl.

My shirt was being tugged,

my hair was being stroked,

almost like it was being

played with.

In this situation,

I truly feel it was Elizabeth.

I really feel I was

communicating

with the little girl.

[ Beeping ]

NARRATOR: But unfortunately,

the little girl ghost

may not be alone.

[ Loud bang ]

-[ Gasps ]

[ Thudding ]

So we start hearing

footsteps upstairs,

loud enough, defined enough

to believe it was someone

in the hospital.

[ Thudding ]

And we go upstairs,

check things out,

the hospital's still secured.

There's no way of entry.

There's no explanation other

than something paranormal.

NARRATOR:

Convinced that there is

a strong spirit presence

in the hospital...

-It's quiet up here.

-Yeah.

...Alan and Anna

return to the morgue

to continue there communication

with Elizabeth.

I think we should go back

and get our gear.

At this point

in the investigation,

we were excited

with the activity

that we had captured

in a short amount of time.

NARRATOR: But back downstairs,

there's been a shift

in the atmosphere.

ANNA: At this point,

I feel a stronger force...

Elizabeth?

...a negative force

had taken over the environment,

and Elizabeth was no longer

coming through at that point.

NARRATOR: And then noises.

[ Scratching ]

a slow, heavy scratch,

one that kind of makes

your gut cringe.

[ Clattering, scratching ]

ALAN: Initially,

when I heard the scratching,

I dismissed it.

Dad, what is that?

I couldn't add where

this was coming from.

It was a slow scratch

and then tapping against

the concrete.

That's solid concrete.

-What the hell is that?

-What? What?

ANNA: We had just

been down in the basement,

having this playful encounter

with what we thought

was Elizabeth,

and then go to investigate

this scratching

in the same basement, and it

immediately turned more dark.

It was heavy.

It was no longer

playful and childlike.

Come on!

Let's get out of here.

NARRATOR: Unsettled by

the shift in atmosphere,

the investigators attempt to

make contact with Elizabeth...

Dad, it's over here.

...using a spirit box.

A spirit box is a device,

a radio that's been modified...

-Look.

-Is anybody here?

...allowing spirits

to grab onto sound bites

and formulate words.

Elizabeth?

We heard the voice of

a little girl

come through the spirit box.

Anna asked, "What's your name?"

and "Elizabeth" clearly

comes through the spirit box.

ANNA: It really felt incredible

when I heard her voice

come through the spirit box.

Really in that moment,

I knew it was the little girl,

Elizabeth, speaking.

It made me extremely excited.

NARRATOR: But Elizabeth's voice

is quickly replaced

by something more sinister.

We continue asking questions.

We would hear the voice

of an older male,

a more dominate figure.

What?

His voice was

very deep, aggressive.

I believe it was the doctor

who took care of Elizabeth

after her mother passed,

who owned the hospital.

I feel like

he probably felt the need

to protect this little girl

and was trying

to guard her from us.

And after he came through

the spirit box,

the little girl never did again.

NARRATOR: With the lines

of communication

seemingly severed,

to then startle me,

like a little domino effect.

This same male voice

shouts in my ear,

"[Bleep] it! [Bleep] you!"

[Bleep] you!

Get out of here!

At this point, my nerves were

a little bit sh*t,

I thought that,

for whatever reason,

this man had singled me out

or targeted me.

ANNA: The second whisper is what

really shook us the most.

From the first whisper

to the second,

it became more aggressive,

more threatening,

just more vulgar.

ALAN: This was

a-a little bit unnerving.

And you're vulnerable.

I've been yelled at

so you gotta muster up

some courage.

hasn't finished with them yet.

[ Loud thud ]

-Aah!

Dad, over there!

Over there!

Over there! Look.

ANNA: I see a shadow go across

the doorway.

I was very frightened.

I didn't know what it was I saw,

if it was coming in for us,

what was going to happen.

I'd tell Dad immediately

what I saw.

We're usually really good about

communicating with each other.

NARRATOR:

The room is suddenly filled

with a distressing noise.

[ Painful moaning ]

[ Whispers ]

Did you hear that?

ANNA: It's very disturbing

because you can hear, like,

you can hear pain

and agony in this moan,

and hearing that,

you empathize with it.

You're also afraid of it.

It was very compelling.

It's also very sad.

Go!

Who's there?! Who is that?!

Over there!

NARRATOR: Still,

the investigators press on,

determined to capture

more evidence.

ANNA: Sometimes

when you're scared,

you almost freeze up and you

really have to force yourself

to keep your mind on the game

and keep investigating.

And even being that scared,

we wanted to go over there

and see if we couldn't

get something.

NARRATOR: The activity seems

to have stopped,

so the Tolfs

check their recorders.

[ Bleep ].

We hadn't even asked a question.

We just entered the room,

and upon playback,

we hear a male state,

"Shh, they're coming."

ALAN: It was so startling

because that, to me,

suggests that

this is intelligent,

that they know we're there,

they can see us.

ANNA:

They know we're there.

For whatever reason,

didn't wanna make

their presence known to us.

It's a feeling

you can't describe,

it's so hard.

There aren't enough words

in our language

to describe the feelings you get

when you see and hear

these types of things.

NARRATOR:

But their recording device

has more surprises in store.

to call it a night.

Leave now!

You know, I don't wanna be hurt.

I don't want my dad to be hurt.

We decided it'd be wise

to pack our things up,

get out of there.

NARRATOR:

But once the dust has settled

and there's been a chance

to review the evidence,

the Tolfs are pleased with

their findings.

We established that

Elizabeth did reside there

and we were able to capture

her voice and her name,

which was compelling to us.

We established that there were

intelligent spirits

within the building.

ANNA: I absolutely know

we collected

more than enough evidence

to prove that there's

something there,

from this childlike,

playful energy

to an almost demonic energy,

and you can feel the difference.

You can feel the transition

as it occurs.

NARRATOR:

And for both Alan and Anna

this case has proved to be

a valuable lesson.

ANNA: As an investigator,

I learned

a place doesn't just have good,

it doesn't just have bad.

It can have anything

she's okay, we continued.

♪♪

NARRATOR: Heeding the warning,

the team begin their

investigation with caution.

LENNON: Dawn, myself, and Sarah

went up into the attic,

which has four rooms in it

and which starts

with the nanny's room.

NARRATOR:

Dawn operates the camera

while Sharon uses

her divining rods

to communicate with the spirits.

LENNON: Divining rods are

two metal rods shaped like L's

which move on their own.

Their crossed is a "yes" answer

and pulling out is "no."

We were talking to the spirits,

and I could sense

a nanny

or an older woman's spirit.

I asked her if she's

the nanny of the house,

and she says, "Yes."

Are you the nanny of the house?

She watched over the children

of the past homeowners.

NARRATOR: Sarah, meanwhile,

is also communicating

with the spirits

using a pendulum.

Are there any spirits

in the room with us?

LENNON:

While talking to the nanny,

I could sense

a little boy in the room.

Getting a shadow.

He seemed to be

standing right next

to where my daughter

was sitting.

I asked, "Is there

a little boy in the room?"

and I got a "yes" answer.

He seemed to be

attracted to, of course,

another little kid.

Kids are usually

attracted to other kids.

The child was really

fascinated by Sarah

and as we were in there

he started playing

with the little

pendulum that Sarah had.

Pulling it out and then

kind of dropping it

and let it swing a lot

and then pulling it out

and let it drop and swing.

He was very playful.

NARRATOR:

But the playful communication

soon takes a sinister turn.

♪♪

NARRATOR: In northwest New York,

paranormal investigators have

been enjoying a playful exchange

with a little boy ghost...

...until now.

♪♪

As this was happening,

we were kind of hearing, like,

these footsteps kind of

coming from the hall.

Like, coming towards the room

where we were.

LENNON: First, when we were

talking to the spirits,

we heard some footsteps.

And then all of a sudden

as if there was a shadow

went in front of the camera,

it went dark.

WOMAN: Hold this. Thank you.

The shadow just passed

right in front of the camera.

Blacked out the camera.

Quick two seconds and it was

right back on.

LAMBALZER:

I believe it was a man

that wanders through the house.

Sharon, you have to see this.

I believe he's the one

who just kind of

came into the room and decided

he's gonna take over

what we're doing.

LAMBALZER: And we kind of

got the feeling

that he wanted

to make his presence known.

Like, "Oh, you're coming

into here?

"Oh no, no, no.

You will listen to me.

I am the authority

in this house."

And that's kind of

the feeling we got

from that initial "welcome."

We were asking

the questions and again.

We connect with the spirits...

Oh, it's very cold.

...all of a sudden,

it got really cold.

Yeah, I feel it, too.

When the room gets cold, it

usually means that the spirit

is drawing in their energy

because spirits need energy

to manipulate and do things.

NARRATOR: And they don't

have to wait long

for the spirit to manifest.

LENNON: You could see,

George was sitting

across from me

as we're asking questions,

and you could see this.

It looks like a bonfire

outside the window behind him.

Now the room was

totally black and dark.

I mean if we seen any type

of light outside of a window

you definitely see through

the windows, see the fire.

And it was like,

what would cause it?

♪♪

NARRATOR: But the activity isn't

just outside the room.

As we're sitting there,

I hedged my rods

pulling over to the right

and then flip them back around.

So as we were talking

to the spirits, you know,

they just kind of, like,

decided to play with the rods.

Was there someone

or is there someone

standing in the corner

beside me, to my right?

♪♪

WOMAN: "Yes."

LENNON: And all of a sudden,

my rods just went voom.

Like, to one area.

Like as,if it was drawn,

like there was something

standing next to me.

Is there someone

beside me right now?

This person just had to like,

stand there and watch us.

And as I was asking questions

I could see this mist

like right by my rods.

♪♪

It was just a big, black,

misty darkness.

♪♪

LAMBALZER:

And was it him again?

Was he following us again?

I mean, it's cold, we see

a shadow pass in front of us.

What are we supposed to,

you know, think?

He's following us again.

It's warmer!

'Cause...you know what

I'm saying?

I wanna...I wanna...

This shadow, I-I believe, was

the same shadow from upstairs.

I believe he was following us

around the house

because he was just saying,

"This is my house.

I'm watching you, you know."

It's like

he was keeping order.

♪♪

LAMBALZER: We're like,

why is this happening?

And the only thing

we could think of is,

is it that spirit that slammed

that door in Sarah's face?

And it's those footsteps

that we heard

while we were up in the attic.

Is he trying to stop us from

talking to these spirits again?

♪♪

NARRATOR: Concerned that

the spirit might get aggressive,

they decide to regroup

and ask Fred to join them

on the main floor,

but it's too late.

LENNON: We were going to

the next room,

and that's when

Fred came down the stairs

and something tripped him.

He trips down

the last two stairs.

[ Fred screaming ]

WOMAN: Fred, are you okay?

And with that,

he lunges forward.

LAMBALZER: Fred felt as though

something grabbed his ankles...

I don't know.

...and he was starting

to fall forward.

[ Thud ]

-MAN: Whoa! You all right?

LENNON: Fred thought that

the same spirit

that shut the door on Sarah

was the same spirit

that grabbed his ankles

because he could just --

well, he's also a medium

and he could sense it.

We thought,

wow, this spirit really is

just out to be harmful

and vengeful

for no reason at all.

It wasn't sitting well

with any of us.

NARRATOR: Despite their fears,

Fred sets up

a flashlight experiment

to get answers

from whatever pushed him.

LAMBALZER: Fred's like,

"Well let's get to the bottom

of this right now."

NARRATOR: They ask the spirit

to turn the flashlight on

for "yes."

Do you want us to leave?

"The gentleman who pushed me

on the stairs,

"or the spirit who

pushed me on the stairs

do you want us to leave?"

"Yes."

Oh, crap.

LENNON: Then he says,

"Okay, just to verify,

if you want us to leave,

flash the flashlight again."

And it flashed again,

and so with that,

he knew that

that was the spirit saying,

"Yes, I want you to leave."

NARRATOR: But there's one thing

left to do

before they call it a night.

LAMBALZER: So what we do before

we leave any investigation

is we ask any spirits if anybody

would like to cross over.

And if they do, they need

to come to Sharon,

and she will open the portal,

the light to heaven,

so they can cross over.

If there is anyone that

would like to cross over

my angels can guide you

to heaven.

I call in my angels and my guys,

and I use the divining rods,

which help me prove

that I'm crossing them over.

When I do that I go into

this little meditative state,

I open the light,

my rods will cross,

which I know

that they see the light,

and then they cross

into the light.

NARRATOR: But not everyone

wants to be helped

into the afterlife.

LENNON: The angry spirit

that shut the door

and tripped Fred...

[ Growling ]

...did not want to cross over,

but I can only

cross over spirits

that do want to go into heaven.

[ Screaming ]

LAMBALZER: I tried to put

my hand on my shoulder

so she can use some of my energy

so she doesn't drain

all her own energy.

[ Continues screaming ]

I just try to envision

just a giant white light

surrounding her, so no harm can

come to her at that point.

LENNON: And then they cross

into the light.

And then once that's done,

then I feel this overwhelming

sense of relief,

and then it closes,

and they have crossed over.

LAMBALZER: Afterwards,

she kind of says, you know,

a blessing to, you know,

a blessing and then

kind of closes the portal.

And then the room usually feels

lighter, more airy, less heavy.

And that's how

she crosses them over.

♪♪

NARRATOR: Satisfied that

their work is complete,

team calls time

on the investigation.

But for Sharon, every case

closed is a lesson learned.

I learned to always be careful

bringing my kid on

an investigation. [ Chuckles ]

I'm so proud of you today.

You think most places,

the spirits are

very mild mannered.

But then when something

like this happens,

then you're like, "Okay."

Now this wakes you up and just

say be careful next time

you walk into a place

and investigate.

NARRATOR:

And both Sharon and Dawn

urge future investigators

to take great care.

We believe that

any investigators

that go there to investigate

this, proceed with caution.

You do not know what

this gentleman is capable of.

If he slammed a door

in a child's face,

what's he gonna do to an adult?
