14x05 - Violent Whispers

[bunniefuu]

[Amy] I think whoever's here

is, like, frozen with terror.

They are making them

do bad things.

How ya holdin' up?

When your kids live

imprisoned in their rooms...

What kind of life

are you giving them?

I heard this scratching

on the very top of my door.

I see doors opening.

Knobs turning.

And it was just weeks

of mass slaughter.

-But he wants to t*rture her.

-Why? She's years old.

I wanna hurt 'em.

Nobody messes with my kids.

[Amy] Person's crying

up a storm.

[Amy's voice distorted]

Crying up a storm.

They want 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.

But there's only one way

to know if my findings

are real.

They are 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 we talkin'?

And I know every person,

every house, has secrets.

It's my job to reveal them.

But Steve and I never speak.

We never communicate

during an investigation.

Until the very end.

Oh, you're not

gonna like this.

When we uncover if it's

safe for you to stay...

I'm sorry. I need

to take a break.

Or time to get out.

It wants inside the house.

'Cause it wants to k*ll you.

[Steve] I'm in the beach town

of Wilmington, North Carolina.

We got a desperate call

from a woman named Sarah.

She terrified and says

whatever's in the house is

going after her little girls.

Our daughters are no longer

safe in the house.

They're both

incredibly scared.

And my husband and I don't

know how to protect them.

She told me the activity

is turning violent.

And she adamant if Amy

and I can't find answers,

it's just a matter

of time before someone

gets seriously hurt.

[Amy] So this is not good.

Something very bad

happened in this area.

How it went down was not good.

I feel this heavy loss.

And then this anger.

The feeling here is there's

this impending doom.

Like something horrible

is going to, like, happen.

[Steve] So, Sarah,

I'm glad I'm here.

'Cause, um, when we spoke,

you sounded pretty upset

about what's going on.

What-- What's happening?

Things have escalated

to a point where nobody feels

safe in the house anymore.

And I feel as though my

children are being targeted.

It's terrifying.

How ya holdin' up?

It's hard.

It's hard because you...

As a parent, that's,

like, your one job.

Yeah.

And when your

kids come to you,

and you can't fix it,

and your kids live

imprisoned in their rooms,

what kind of life

are you giving them?

So Sarah, who all lives

in the house with you guys?

-There are four of us

in the house.

-Okay.

So that's you obviously.

This is my husband, Jonathan.

That is my daughter, Mia.

She's .

And that's Karyll. She's .

How long have you guys

owned the place?

We have been here

for years.

-Was it always this bad

that you needed to call us?

-No.

Definitely within the last

two years, it's escalated.

Drastically. To the point

where we don't know

what to do.

All right.

So Sarah, do me a favor.

And give me a list

of what the hell you guys

are going through here.

-So we hear voices.

-Okay.

[Sarah] Things move

on their own.

We experience mood changes.

We have seen shadow figures.

And, most recently,

it's gotten physical.

What kind of mood changes

are we talking about?

Since living in this house.

I would say,

the last few years.

I've noticed that I can

go from zero to

in anger.

For no reason.

-So is that in

your personality?

-No.

What do you think whatever's

here wants from you guys?

I think it's trying to make

me feel like I'm crazy.

I think it wants to tear

my family apart.

And I think that it

wants something to do

with my children.

What in the [beep]

is that damn thing?

So there's something.

And now I'm seeing it, like,

it's on the roof.

But it's not just here.

It does go to other

houses in the area.

So I'm seeing it jumping

from rooftop to rooftop.

-[cameraman] What is

this thing?

-[Amy] Big.

The thing's like

a good eight feet.

Big. Massive.

But smoky.

I mean, it is smoky.

But it's massive.

Is that, like, a dead person?

Like what the [beep]?

All right. Kitchen obviously.

So, what's going on in here?

So I was actually

in the kitchen.

And these cabinet doors

open suddenly.

And everything flew out

onto the floor.

Okay.

That sounds like something

out of a movie.

-They don't open that easy.

-No.

And they were wide open.

Okay.

What else?

So we have flickering lights

in the hallway here.

And in the bathroom.

Doesn't mean it's paranormal.

Did you have an electrician

look at it?

My husband's actually

an electrician.

-Oh. Okay. And he couldn't

find something wrong?

-No.

Anything else?

What I find more...

The most serious is

I have heard

something trying to get

into my daughters room.

It was scratching at the door.

And then I heard

the doorknob moving.

So what'd ya do?

I didn't do anything.

I was frozen in fear

in my bed.

-Who's room was that in?

-Mia's.

I'm now concerned

that it's gonna get physical

with my kids.

Well, that's what

we don't want.

Eight-foot tall

black mass thing.

Comes down through

the closets.

I literally see the door

opening and closing.

And they're perceiving

something coming out of it.

And it can affect

its physical surroundings.

Kind of like poltergeist

activity. But it's not

really poltergeist.

Lights flickering

and [beep] like that.

I'm hearing banging

on the wall.

Hearing movement. Okay, okay.

Doorknobs moving.

Doors moving.

What the [beep]?

So, Jon, I was talking

to your wife Sarah earlier.

And she told me what was

going on in the house.

And some insane stuff.

Do you agree

there's a problem?

Absolutely, I mean, I've

had some physical things

happen to me.

Had a lot of experiences

I can't explain.

Okay. Let's talk about

your experiences.

What can you tell me?

So I would say the most

common one that I notice

is that I will hear noises.

Or if I'm in taking a shower

it will sound like somebody's

coming through our back door.

The dogs will actually react

as if somebody has come in.

Nobody's there.

-And nothing's missing

when you come back out?

-Absolutely no.

So it doesn't look like

you've been burglarized

and somebody left?

-Not at all.

-Okay.

All right.

So you got that going on.

What else?

Uh, there's a tall shadow

figure that goes by, right by

this window over here.

And as you can see.

The window is every bit

of foot off the ground.

Right. Yes.

So there's no shadow

that can come that high.

And I will look out the window

and there is no cars.

Is this something that

you can see through?

Or is it pretty solid?

It's solid dark.

So, Jon, now that we're here.

What are you hoping

we can get done for you?

I'm hoping there is

something we can do

to fight back.

And I am definitely concerned

about, you know, the welfare

of my youngest daughters

and my wife of course.

[Amy] Mm.

Person's crying up a storm.

Crying up a storm.

Think this is a female?

Freakin' out seeing

this thing.

That door's open.

[Beep] opens doors man.

Whatever the [beep] this is

I see door's opening.

Knobs turning.

What are the living seeing

within the closets?

Uh, like closet doors opening.

And, like,

male looking, you know,

eight-foot tall thing.

Black mass.

And this is still

the same thing we're...

-Running on the roofs

and banging on the wall? Okay.

-Mm. Mm.

Huh?

Are there two on the roof?

So now I'm wondering, like,

are there actually two

dead men that are doing this?

And they're doing

some [beep] around here.

So I think whoever's here

is, like, frozen with terror.

[Steve] Karyll, it's good

to sit down with you and talk.

Talked to Mom, talked to Dad.

And they're both really

concerned about the safety

of you and your sister.

-Mm-hmm.

-Do you think they're

over-reacting at all?

I don't think they're

over-reacting.

There's definitely

something paranormal here.

So what kind of experiences

can you tell me about?

Um, when I was home alone

one time, I started hearing

tapping on my door.

And it went from tapping,

to knocking, to banging.

What did you do? I mean

I would have freaked out

if I knew I was home alone.

I freaked out.

It went on for probably

about five minutes.

And then after I went

and opened my door

and there was nothing there.

So is there anything else

you can tell me about?

I have a really overwhelming

feeling that I'm being

watched a lot.

Where do you feel it?

I feel it every time

I go into the bathroom.

I'm so scared to go in there.

I always check

the towel drawer.

And I check behind the shower.

Just like I feel, like,

there someone, like,

standing there watching me.

-Okay.

-It's like I don't know if

they're gonna jump out at me.

All right, so what else?

One night, I saw a shadow

figure peering in at me

through my bedroom door.

Did you think it was somebody

like your Mom or Dad?

I knew it wasn't.

How come?

I can always hear when they

open their door and come out

in the middle of the night.

And I can hear their footsteps

walking down the hall.

How about physical att*cks?

Any that you can remember?

-No.

-What are your thoughts

on what's here?

What it wants?

I think it wants to see us.

And possible harm us.

The tall shadow things

like to come into this room.

I do see some

physical interaction.

So I think whoever's here

is, is getting att*cked.

Like physically.

Like, I feel like this

person's been held down.

Wrists. Feeling like

a male's hands.

Did something to their leg.

I think their right leg.

But it hurt her

leg really bad.

Things is, I don't know if

the living person even

realizes it's happening.

[cameraman] Do you know

why these shadow things

are doing this?

The only thing I heard was,

"Because we can."

[Steve] So Mia, I was talking

to Mom today.

She tells me there's a lot

of scary stuff going

on in the house.

And she's worried about you.

Yes, there's a lot

of stuff that's happened.

It's definitely getting worse.

So can you tell me about some

of the experiences you have?

I heard this scratching on

the very top of my door.

I thought it was the cats.

But it was at the very top

of my door.

And they couldn't reach.

And then I heard, like,

a knocking on my door.

-That would scare me.

-I was definitely scared.

So anything else Mia?

A few months ago I saw

a tall dark shadow figure

standing in my living room.

I actually drew

a sketch of it.

You drew this?

Well, that's pretty creepy.

It was very tall.

I remember that.

Mom mentioned to me that, um,

she gets angry for no reason

real fast.

Does anything like that

happen to you?

Yes. There's sometimes

that I just feel angry

for no reason.

I'll just be angry out of

nowhere and I don't know why.

You think it's the,

the paranormal stuff

that's going on here?

Yes.

Okay.

[Amy] What?

Those tall shadow things

come in this room too.

I'm hearing a lot of yelling

and stuff in this room.

The living here are hearing,

like, male voices saying

really awful things to them.

Like I'm hearing,

"You [beep] bitch."

I'm wondering if they're,

like, jumping this person.

Making them do bad things.

And what kind of experience

is it for them?

Depends.

Uh, it could be that

they're blacked out.

And they have no control

over what they're doing.

And they're making this person

do, or say, or act abnormally.

Uh, so it's harming them more

mentally and psychologically.

Well, and physically really.

Than just b*ating on them.

Like that's, like,

their t*rture.

[Steve] I always start

my investigations by calling

local law enforcement.

Turns out, an -year-old

girl was m*rder*d

just down the street from

Sarah and Jonathan's house.

It's a pretty recent case.

So the cops didn't want

to talk to me about it.

But, I found a true crime

author who said

this brutal homicide

happened because

of a deadly obsession.

So Rick, I appreciate you

meeting with me and helping

me out with this case.

So before we get into what

happened. What'd you find

out about the victim?

Our victim's name

is Jessica Faulkner.

She's an -year-old college

sophomore here at our local

college, UNC Wilmington.

She lives in a dorm actually

only about feet from

your clients residence.

Okay. So Rick, do we

know anything about

the guy who k*lled her?

Yeah, -year-old

Curtis Dixon.

He was actually a college

student also there.

At UNC Wilmington,

he lived on the same floor

as her in the dorm.

Okay. So now the two of them

are living on the same floor

in this dorm.

What happens next?

They actually became friends.

But, this soon became

an obsession for, uh, Dixon.

He started taking

the same classes as her.

Started making romantic

advances towards her.

Uh, even though, you know,

she made it pretty clear

that she had a boyfriend.

And was not interested.

Okay, we're sitting here

because she was m*rder*d.

So what happened?

So, May th, .

Jessica got a text

from Curtis.

Asking her to come back

to his room. Because he said

he had a gift for her.

So, what happened?

He tells her to turn

her back on him.

So he can surprise her.

When she does, strangles her

down to the ground.

Proceeds to r*pe her.

Then tie her to his bed

and goes to sleep.

-And he goes to sleep?

-Just goes to sleep.

-This guy's a real

sociopath, right?

-Yeah, absolutely.

All right. So we know

he's been arrested.

How'd that all happen?

He called her father.

And then turned himself

into the police.

So, here's his mugshot.

That's unbelievable.

I've never heard

of something like this.

Calls the father and says,

I just k*lled your daughter.

-Can you imagine

getting that phone call?

-I can't.

As a dad,

I just cannot imagine

having that phone call.

Mm. All right.

So, did it go to trial?

I mean, did he

cop out a plea, or?

Actually, no.

He actually never

made it to his trial.

On December th,

he was able to break away

from his correctional officer.

Ran up the stairs of a cell

block, he got to the third

deck and jumped off.

Landed head first

down on the bottom.

And d*ed the next day.

Took the coward's way out.

Yes, Steve. By taking his

own life, he did manage

to escape justice.

[Amy] I think those tall

shadow figures were

bad people in life.

I feel like they're criminals.

Like, they're criminals.

These guys are

way more recent.

I wouldn't go earlier

than the 's...

s with these guys.

One of these

dead males is big.

Like, I think this guy

was, like, a big guy in life.

Some kind of body builder

or something. You know,

he was built.

And I'd put him in his

s maybe, late s.

The other one I get younger.

Much younger. Early s maybe.

They have this, like,

vibe about them.

That they think they escaped.

So, like, I'm like, y'all know

you're, you know, dead?

Maybe they think they

escaped through death.

I'm wondering if, like, these

are people who, like, actually

did, like, escape jail

or something.

That their ego is way too big.

Or maybe they [beep] did

something and got k*lled

before they went to jail.

So they feel free. Like,

there's gotta be something

behind their ego on this.

[Steve] So I'm heading over

to meet a local professor.

She tells me Sarah

and Jonathan's house

only had one previous owner.

And his life was cut short

way too soon.

So, Professor thanks for

meeting with me and helping

me out with this case.

Before we get to the death,

do you know anything about

the previous owners?

They were Anthony

and Eugenia Mazur.

And they bought

the house in .

-Okay.

-This will be photos of them.

[Steve] Okay.

And are they the

first people to live there?

[Angie] They were.

And they lived there

for about years.

Okay. So now it's .

They're living in

my client's house.

Is it just the two of them?

For a while, yeah,

and then they have

a daughter.

So they all lived in the house

that your clients lived in.

And Anthony worked in the oil

industry here in Wilmington.

Okay. So, let's move on.

What about the death?

In April of , he was

diagnosed with meningitis.

It's an infection that att*cks

the brain and the spinal cord.

So, as you can imagine,

he's got pain. He's got

dizziness, nausea,

-a lot of suffering.

-Yeah.

The condition eventually got

a lot worse.

And so the family had

to rush him to the hospital.

And once he was there,

he d*ed six days later.

And I've got

the death certificate.

Wow. He was only huh?

-Yeah. It was devastating

for Eugenia.

-What happens with her?

Well, she wants to stay there

as long as she can.

And so she gets help

from her daughter, Peggy.

-Okay.

-So they're there until .

And then the house was sold.

-To my clients.

-That's right.

To your clients Sarah and Jon.

And then, Eugenia will live

for another five years here

in Wilmington.

And she dies at the age of .

Okay.

Quick image of a,

I believe a male laying

dead on the floor.

The guy's wearing just, like,

a wife beater and boxers.

And he's kind of,

uh, heaver set.

He's probably, like, in his,

I'd put him in his s.

I see, like, brown hair.

I think he just dropped dead.

You know, so like, it could

be aneurysm, heart att*ck.

What you feel is anger.

So far I've got clients

terrified something evil is

going after their daughters.

Right near the scene

of a brutal m*rder of

an -year-old girl.

But, I wanna see

if there's anything else.

Searching through

the archives, I found out

that in the late s

the streets of Wilmington

were turned into

a bloody w*r zone.

I gotta admit, I've never

heard of the Wilmington

m*ssacre until just now.

But I tracked down a local

historian who actually made

a documentary about it.

You had armed bands of Whites

who were roaming the city.

Indiscriminately k*lling

Black people.

It was a slaughter.

[Steve] And apparently,

it was the only successful

coup d'etat in US history.

[Steve] So Chris,

thanks for helping me out

and meeting with me.

I appreciate that.

So I've done a lot of history

in North Carolina.

But I never knew about

this part of American history.

So set the scene for me.

What was this all about?

Well, after the Civil w*r,

Wilmington became, like,

a mecca for African Americans.

So you had several

lawyers here.

Um, Black doctors.

You had

a Black-owned newspaper.

And so Wilmington became

really what the new South

could have been

after the Civil w*r.

So, what went wrong?

Well, what went wrong

was that you had a White

supremacy movement.

And you had a group

of nine wealthy businessmen

in Wilmington

who called themselves

The Secret Nine.

And what they wanted to do

was really bring Wilmington,

and the whole state

of North Carolina,

back to that era

of White supremacy

prior to the Civil w*r.

All right, so we got these

secret nine white guys.

What'd they do?

Well, the first thing they

wanted to do was spread a lot

of misinformation and lies.

So they used a lot

of political cartoons

that made African Americans

look like beasts and monsters.

Of attacking white women.

The whole meaning behind it

was that if we let these

African Americans

continue to be in politics

and continue to get power,

they're gonna come after

your daughters, they're gonna

come after your wives.

So they preyed on their fears.

-Right. Right.

-Basically.

All right. So, we got

the propaganda going on.

How's it go from that

to a m*ssacre?

Well, on November th, ,

you had about a couple of

hundred, um, White citizens.

And they wanted to first,

eliminate the Black press

in Wilmington,

which was

The Wilmington Daily Record,

owned by

African American, Alex Manly.

This mob, which grown

to about people,

burnt it down.

Stood in front of it.

Took pictures.

-This is it here?

-Yeah.

Holy [beep] look

at these guys.

What happens next?

Then they broke off in patrols

throughout the city.

k*lling African Americans.

Men, women, and children.

And it was just weeks

of mass slaughter.

Here's an article

about the m*ssacre.

So how many people got k*lled?

I would say the range

of African Americans

that were k*lled

ranged from about

to .

Okay. So we really don't know

what the exact number is?

-No.

-Okay.

What happens after

the k*lling stops?

They decide to take over

the government.

They removed the mayor,

removed the alderman.

And they were taken out

forcibly, I'm assuming.

Yeah by force. By the g*n.

Either you do this,

or we're gonna k*ll ya.

Does anybody get arrested

for what happened?

No. Nothing happens to anyone.

This is a real stain

on the Wilmington history.

Yeah, it's been a stain

in this city for, for quite

some time.

And the city is still dealing

with that still today.

So weird.

I'm getting that feeling

of impending doom again.

You know I have the impression

of a house.

But it's like two stories.

White. Older style

looking house.

[cameraman] Any idea

when this was?

I wanna say it's, like,

s the earliest.

Clearly got .

I clearly got .

Uh, as very specific dates.

And I did hear many people

marching in the distance.

This impending doom

is associated with

whatever the [beep]

went on with the disposal

of that house.

There seem to be some

kind of, like, big thing

that went down.

And then the loss

of the house.

There's something

disturbing about it.

It's sad.

So what kind of effect

would this have on people?

I believe that they would feel

extremely stressed out.

They feel like they're

gonna lose their home.

Or their land.

This doom is gonna happen

and they're gonna

lose everything.

Like, it's always kind

of like right there.

It's so heavy

on their shoulders.

And it's coming out in anger.

I saw several disturbing

things on my walk.

But the tall shadow figure

jumping a living girl in her

bedroom concerns me the most.

She's in the bed

and she's on her left side.

This guy is by the bed.

Probably about

seven feet tall.

There's a lot of mist

surrounding his form.

It's a lighter color.

Amy, is this 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, I'd like

you to meet Amy.

She's gonna be doing

the reveal from another room

so she can concentrate on

your case and the dead

without any distractions.

Amy, this is Sarah

and her husband Jon.

They live in this house

with their two daughters.

This is Karyll over here,

who's .

And this is Mia,

here, who's .

-Now, they've lived in this

house for years?

-Yes.

But recently all hell's

broken lose here.

Sarah says that whatever's

here is going after her girls.

So unless Amy's got some

questions for you guys,

uh, she'll tell us

about her walk.

So when I first

started my walk,

I walked out into

the back yard.

I became

extremely overwhelmed

by a strong sense

of impending doom.

And this is affecting actually

quite a large area.

Uh, so not just your property.

And it's so strong that

I do feel like it's

influencing people here.

Making them feel

very stressed out,

very anxious.

Being consistently exposed

to that, it's all turning

into, like, this anger.

I felt like it could

become abusive.

Like somebody becoming,

like, lashing out.

I will experience anger

that literally just comes

out of nowhere.

And it's zero to .

We will remove ourselves

from the immediate area,

and it seems like

it immediately de-escalates.

So, you get any sense

where all this doom

is coming from?

Yes.

There was a house

that use to be around here.

Something really

awful happened.

Involving this house

and this land.

And it was an event.

And it never should

have happened.

I got and were

the two years that were

very specific.

And I did hear men

marching in the distance.

You said a few things that

make me think of a m*ssacre

that took place right here.

In the late s,

Wilmington was ground zero

for the country's

only successful coup.

So at that time there was

a lot of prosperity for

the Black community down here.

Uh, and they did well.

But there was a faction

of white men in town

that had money

that this didn't

sit well with.

And they called themselves

The Secret Nine.

Now, Amy, you said .

But this happened on

November th, .

First a group of white

businessmen and veterans

armed to the teeth

marched to the only Black

newspaper in town.

Um, they b*rned

the place to the ground.

I have a photo of

the day this happened.

The crowd swelled to

about .

They spread out all over town

k*lling black men, women,

and children.

[beeping]

When all was said and done,

at the end of the day,

between and black men

and women were k*lled.

After that, this crowd of men,

wind up marching to

the homes of city officials.

And, basically forced them

to resign at gunpoint.

And installed their

own new government.

No one was ever

arrested and charged.

Could this deadly coup

be what caused this

feeling of doom?

More than likely,

because that did affect

quite a large area.

[Steve] Okay, so what else

happened on the walk?

When I was outside,

I saw two -foot tall,

like, shadow figures.

Then I realized that

it's two dead males.

Initially, I saw them

up on the roof.

And I saw them banging

on the wall,

I think near a window.

So, as you're looking

at our fireplace,

we have the two windows,

on either side.

It's always the window

to the left,

as you're looking at it.

You always catch it

out of the corner of your eye,

but when you try to focus,

it's gone.

I saw them entering

your house, through

the closets.

They can affect

their physical surroundings

I saw lights going on

and off by themselves,

or flickering,

doorknobs turning

and doors opening

and closing.

Cabinet doors will fly open,

dishes will fly out

of the cabinets.

I, myself, have heard

the doorknobs,

the banging.

And we've had issues

with the lights flickering.

Tell Amy

about when you're home alone,

but it sounds like

someone's walking

in the house.

Yeah. So, I mean,

it's only when I'm home alone.

I'll hear what sounds

like my wife or kids

coming in the back door

and I just peek out

and go, "Yeah, nobody there.

Okay."

I just go back

to what I'm doing.

Tell Amy about the knocking

and banging on Karyll's door.

It started off, she said,

as almost like a tapping,

and then went to a knocking.

And then to a banging noise.

Mia has heard

scratching on her door

and her doorknob moving.

It's incredibly terrifying,

because I could hear

my daughter's doorknob moving.

And sometimes I'm so scared,

I can't get up and go check.

[Steve] Is all of this coming

from these two dirtbags?

No.

It's mainly being caused

by the girls.

Oh, God.

They have abilities and so,

there's a lot of energy

that's building with them.

And so,

it's just kind of coming out.

Lights going on and off,

banging, the tapping,

all of that,

uh, falls into poltergeist,

uh, phenomenon.

[Steve] What kind of abilities

are we talking about?

Mia, I believe her to be

more of a medium,

physical medium.

-A physical medium

like yourself?

-[Amy] Yes.

I think I felt like Karyll

was more empathic.

Karyll's very surprising.

I would have not

expected that.

Um, we've always said

her like is rainbows

and butterflies.

Mia, I'm not surprised.

Always felt, from the day

she was born, that there was

something special about her.

So, when you hear

about the poltergeist stuff,

does that scare you?

It's concerning, but I'm

far more concerned

about the two guys.

-[Amy] Yeah.

-Any sense of who

they might have been

when they were alive?

What I got

was that they were criminals.

That they were alive

pretty recently.

No further back

than the s.

One is a pretty big dude,

very built.

The other one, um, is smaller,

like, thinner and I would have

put him in his s.

I wasn't sure.

Like, I was like,

"Did they actually, like,

escape jail? Were they

ever in jail? Did they die

before they went to jail?"

But, in their death,

they feel, like, free.

In my investigation,

I came across someone

who k*lled himself,

but he did it to escape

from going to jail.

His name was Curtis Dixon.

And in , he was

a -year-old student

in UNC Wilmington.

I got his mug sh*t right here.

Now, he lived in a dorm

about , feet from here.

He became obsessed

with another student

in the same dorm,

an -year-old girl

named Jessica Faulkner.

I got her photo.

He took the same classes

as her, he kept making moves

on her,

but she wanted nothing

to do with him.

So, now, on May fourth, ,

Curtis lured her to the room

by saying he had

a present for her.

So, now, once she's

in the room,

when she got there,

he did the old,

"Oh, turn around,

I want to surprise you."

He strangles her,

he r*pes her,

ties her to the bed.

The next morning,

he gets up and she's dead.

I get disgusted just talking

about this guy.

Uh, so the prosecution

threw the book at him

and he was facing

the death penalty, basically,

in North Carolina.

While he was in prison,

after his arrest,

he broke free

from one of the guards.

He ran up three flights

of stairs, he took

a head dive over the top

and landed on his head

and broke his neck and d*ed.

-What the [bleep]?

-[Steve] Yeah.

Is it possible he's one

of the criminals you saw

that's here?

Yes.

[Steve] Okay, so at least

we know who one

of these shadow guys are.

Do they do anything else

to these guys?

[Amy] I saw him

in the back bedroom,

a girl in there crying.

-That's Karyll's room.

-Mm-hmm.

[Amy] He appears as, you know,

-feet tall, black mask.

She heard a noise

outside her bedroom door

and then, all of a sudden,

it came into the cr*ck

of the door.

And was, literally,

staring at her.

[Amy] That's not good.

What I was seeing

was him attacking her

physically,

uh, holding her down

by her wrists

and was doing something

to her right leg.

Is it possible

she doesn't remember

in the morning?

Or, just too scared to say?

Because, I mean,

she's never told me that.

But, she has had bruises

on her leg and I'll be like,

"Oh, what happened?"

And she'll be like,

"I don't know."

And she's complained

about pain in her legs.

[Amy] It's possible

she can't remember

the att*cks. Yeah.

Now, is Karyll's room

the only room where they're

attacking people?

[Amy] No.

I saw one of them

in the lime-green room.

[Steve] So, that's Mia's room.

His attitude was even more

intense than the other guy

in the other room.

I heard him yelling

at the person.

And I saw him

actually jumping this person.

We're making this person

do or say or act

abnormally.

Uh, so, it's harming them

more mentally

and psychologically.

Why? She's years old.

He wants to t*rture her.

-That pisses me off.

-[Sarah] Yeah.

[Steve] Tell Amy

about her mood swings

and how she gets angry.

So, she too, will get

extremely angry

and kind of fly

off the handle.

And it's so out of character

for her.

We had an idea

that something bigger

was going on.

We knew that it wasn't

just her.

Is that possible,

that she's being jumped

and that's what's coming out?

Yeah.

[Steve] So, Amy, Mia's seen

a shadow figure too.

And she did a drawing of it.

Anything familiar

about this sketch

from what you saw?

Well, I had a sketch done

of, of what I saw.

Hmm.

[Sarah exhales]

That's exactly how she sleeps.

It's very scary.

It's very, very scary.

No kid should deal

with any of it.

It's disgusting.

I mean, I'm ready

to get rid of him.

I want to hurt him.

Nobody messes with my kids.



So, Jon, Sarah,

you guys thought

something paranormal

in the house

was going after your children.

And you were right.

But now, we gotta answer

the big question.

Is there something you can do,

so you can get back

to being a healthy,

happy family?

Or, you have to get

the hell out of here.

Um, for that answer,

I'm gonna turn it over to Amy.

First thing, uh, that needs

to be taken care of

is the men.

So, you can find

any type of witch.

And the first thing

that they need to do

is to cleanse the home

and the yard.

Now, once that's done,

the witch will then put

a barrier up in the yard.

Then the men

will lose interest

and leave.

When this person

is doing all of these steps,

someone needs to be there

following them

and learning every

single thing they're doing.

Because, this will need

to be repeated

at least once a month,

while you guys

are still in this home.

[Steve] Will things get better

once these shadow guys

are out of the house?

Yes. I believe

that Mia won't be,

uh, as aggressive

in her behaviors

as she is being now.

They won't see, uh,

the shadow guys anymore.

Is any of this cleansing stuff

gonna help...

Uh, and the barrier,

help this impending doom

that you're feeling

in the neighborhood?

Yeah.

The consistent cleansing

is going to help to, uh,

get that out of your space.

As far as the poltergeist

phenomenon is concerned,

regarding Mia,

she should, uh, take

some type of creative writing

workshop or class.

It will help her focus

and process and disperse

her energy.

Then, it's okay for her

to begin to dig into

her ability

and really figure out

what she wants to do.

As for Karyll, right now,

I would suggest learning

about crystal protection.

Uh, learning about various,

uh, types of herbs and oils

that she can use

to protect herself.

This is all doable.

-[Sarah] Absolutely.

-Yeah.

You guys feel good about it?

Yes.

-We have answers.

-[Sarah] Yeah.

It's a weight off

of our shoulders,

I feel like.

-We have a plan.

-[Sarah] Yeah.

Which is more

than we've had

in a long time.

I'm gonna ask you two

the same question

I ask everybody,

are you gonna

take Amy's advice?

-Absolutely.

-[Jon] Yup.

-He's gotta go.

-[Steve] Yeah.

I have no patience

for bullies.

I mean, knowing that we can

protect our kids and they can

actually sleep at night

and won't be living

day-to-day scared.

There's no words for it.

I mean, I think that we're

incredibly thankful.

Thank you guys so much.

[Amy] I really hope Jonathan

and Sarah follow my advice

and work with a witch

to remove the dead men

and cleanse their house

of negative energy.

If they do that, and help

their daughters learn how

to control their abilities,

I believe this family can live

peacefully in their home

for many years to come.

Thank you, Steve and Amy,

for coming out.

After the reveal,

Jon and I found

the witch that Amy

had recommended.

[Jon] Since then,

the activity in the house

has pretty much vanished.

[Sarah] Everybody in the home

seems to be at peace.

And we're happy

with everything

that is going on now.
