19x04 - Serial k*ller Spirits: Ted Bundy Ritual House

[bunniefuu]

I'm getting scratches that
are breaking the skin open.

- They burn.
- They burned the hair off my chest.

Now our 3-year-old
has started getting scratched.

I'm really upset.
I'm angry.

Really nasty, negative energy.

[ Voice breaking ]
I hate living like this.

We cast thee out,
every unclean spirit.

Now it's just us,
so take your best shot.

- Show us that you're here.
- Come on!

[ Whispering ]

Don't you want
mark one of us?

Oh, God! [ bleep ]!
[ clattering ]

[♪♪]

Zak:
There are things in this world

that we will never
fully understand.

[ Distorted ] understand.

[ echoing ] we want answers.

We have worked years to build
our credibility, our reputation,

working alongside
the most renowned professionals

in the field,

capturing groundbreaking proof
of the paranormal.

It's working!

I can't give you
an explanation.

[ Birds cawing ]

This is our evidence...

Our ghost adventures.

[♪♪]

[ Sighs deeply ] all right,
we got to go.

This is, like,
a crisis situation

of literal life and death.

Zak: This unassuming house
in amarillo, texas,

home to the Prather family,

may be harboring something
as dark as we've ever faced.

[ Groaning ]

The Prathers report
violent scratches

at the hands of a dark entity,

and they believe the lives
of their children

may actually be at stake.

[♪♪]

We were gonna be
investigating

another entirely
different location

that we prepared for
with research and everything.

We canceled that today

'cause we got the call
about this last night.

That's how critical
this situation is.

Four kids... the two sons
can't live in the house anymore

because of this entity.

They need desperate help.

[♪♪]

- Let's go, guys.
- Let's go.

Zak: As soon as we arrive,
the activity begins.

The Prathers' dogs
mysteriously force their way

out of the front door
and run away at top speed.

- Let's go. Let's go. Let's go.
- Coming up right behind you.

Zak: So we offer to help the
mother, Janella, track them down.

- Are you rolling still?
- Yeah.

- Jay, ready.
- Watch gear.

[ Car dinging ] jay: Watch your feet.
Watch your feet.

I saw them dart down this road.
I promise.

Is that them right there?
Is that her?

Oh, she said
give thumbs up.

- Oh, got them.
- Oh, she's got them.

- She's got them.
- Oh, okay, good.

- Okay, yes.
- Did something spook them?

There was a loud
thump in the house,

and then they darted
out the front door.

- Okay.
- Wow.

And everyone in the house
heard it.

- Okay.
- Wow.

[ Barking ]

[♪♪]

Zak:
Janella and her husband, jason,

can't escape this house
due to financial hardship.

How many children
do you have?

We have four total.

How many live here
in the house?

Only one lives here
full-time

because our other three
are scared of this house.

[ Rising high pitch ]

My two boys both insist

that there's a bad man
that lives in our house.

There's a specific room
in our house

that none of the kids
will sleep in

because they say
the bad man is there.

He talks to them

and says things
like he's going to k*ll them.

The bad man says
this to your son.

Yes.

Janella believes
this malicious entity

may have affected
the health of one of her sons.

And the boys are not the only
ones who have seen the bad man.

There is a thing that
I have seen since I was little.

It seemed as though it almost
comes to me as a warning

that something bad
is about to happen.

What does the entity
look like?

He has dark stringy hair,
and you can see on his face

he's got a symbol that looks
like it's burned into his face.

What type of a symbol?

It's kind of a cross,

but instead of being
just two straight lines,

it's got a circle at the top,
but it's upside down,

and anytime he tries
to tell me something,

- you can smell burning flesh...
- Mm-hmm.

And it starts to bleed.

[♪♪]

What are the really
disturbing attacks

that are happening
physically to you?

I think the worst ones are when
I'm getting scratches

that are breaking
the skin open.

It always in a set
of three claw marks

down my back
or across my throat.

[♪♪]

Now our 3-year-old
has started getting scratched.

- Your 3-year-old daughter?
- Yes.

She started getting
scratched about six months ago.

She woke up crying,

and she really couldn't tell me
what had happened.

She just says, "it hurts."

she was pretty upset.

[♪♪]

Zak: Family hauntings can be
extremely difficult to pin down,

but I have found
that the kids involved

often reveal the whole truth.

Gracelynn, do you ever get
scared in the house?

You do?

Do you ever see your mom
get hurt inside the house?

You do?
Does she get scared after that?

[♪♪]

This eyewitness is uncomfortable
appearing on camera

because of the severity
of this case,

so we have concealed
her identity.

I ask her if she has noticed
any emotional change in Janella.

Witness: [ distorted ] she was seeming
to be mad at everyone quite often.

She's always had slight
anger issues

but not as bad as
what's been happening lately.

[♪♪]

Okay, have you ever seen her
be attacked?

Have you ever seen
the scratches forming on her?

Not actually forming, but I did
see them after the fact.

Okay. Do you think she could be
attacking herself?

Um... I'm not sure.

I've never really thought
about it that way.

[♪♪]

Zak: I ask jason about
the effect of all of this

on his relationship
with Janella.

We've had some what I would call
knockdown drag-outs

after the scratching
started on her.

That's when I really
noticed things

were kind of
getting out of hand.

She would be fine one minute

and just some little...
Some trigger,

and she would blow up,
and it would be,

like, totally out
of character for her.

[♪♪]

I'll slam doors,
or I'll throw things.

- No explanation.
- No explanation.

- It just hits you.
- Yeah.

[♪♪]

So you're stuck in this house.
You can't leave financially.

This is destroying
your children.

This is destroying
relationships.

This is destroying your family
to be together, right?

Yes.

I, actually, things got so bad

that I attempted suicide
a few months ago...

Um, because I didn't think
I could live with this anymore.

I was getting scratched
nearly nightly,

something is coming to me
in my dreams,

and I was waking up
with horrible night terrors.

[♪♪]

- What do you want? What do you...
- I... I...

What do you want from us?
I don't want to just sh...

[ voice breaking ] I want to
be rid of this. I want to have

peace of mind in my house.

I want my kids to feel safe
staying with me.

I want our family
back together.

And this has been
tearing it apart.

[ Sniffles ]

Okay.

This is a matter
of life and death.

This is as serious
as it gets, okay?

Would you be open
to having an exorcist

come here and assist us?

Yes, I would be willing
to try anything.

Okay.

Zak: Jay pulls me aside
to give context

to Janella's description
of the entity.

She said about that symbol with
the circle on top and a cross.

It's kind of a cross,
but it's got a circle at the top,

but it's upside down.

It's an ankh which has been
around since, like,

ancient egypt times,
and the ankh symbol

represents the key of life,
but when you invert...

- But it was upside down, she said.
- Right, it's inverted.

Inverted is the exact opposite.
It's straight death.

[♪♪]

- The symbols are important.
- Yeah.

- And she described that symbol to a t.
- Right.

Whoever is coming here
and haunting her,

she said
maybe warning her... death.

- It's, "you're going to die."
- Yeah.

[♪♪]

What's going on here?
Hold on. Hold on. Hold on.

I get an unexpected call
telling me that a local minister

has important information
about the case.

So I'm gonna go
meet this guy.

- I want you to stay here.
- Okay.

There's another lady
that I talked to named Tonya,

and she's gonna
meet you here

and tell you some things that
happened to her, as well,

- here, okay.
- Oh, okay. Okay.

Let me know.

Okay. Let's go.

I go to
the Amarillo Public Library

to meet with Jason Row,

an ordained minister who has
blessed the house three times.

When I went through it
this last time,

and we discussed
more and more,

and I found out
how many times

she had had the house blessed
before even I got to it,

and I told her, I said,
"it's getting worse each time."

After the house
was blessed again,

things will calm down for...

- For a little bit.
- a couple months.

And then
it's worse than ever.

Do you have any explanation,
any reason

as to why you think
that this evil force

is there, doing this
to her and her family?

Now, of what I understood
from her

and a few other people
that live around,

there was a really bad incident
that happened in the house

that caused
a person's death.

I've heard stories on the house.

I've heard that a little girl
died out in the backyard.

[♪♪]

Just a lot of really nasty,
negative energy,

and you know as well as anybody
that that's what they feed on.

[♪♪]

Zak: After extensive research,

we are unable to find
any documentation

to support these reports
of deaths at the house.

Aaron and Billy meet
with Tonya Trimble

who says she was
scratched in the house.

- Hey, this is Bill.
- How's it going?

I was actually sitting
on the couch,

and they were talking about
the things that had happened.

- The couch over here?
- This couch over here.

Okay.

And I felt a burning sensation
on the back of my neck.

Oh, wow. We pulled my hair back,
and there was a good scratch

that went across
the back of my neck,

kind of lower back,

- and I was like... I got scratched.
- You got scratched...

While you were
talking about it.

While we were talking
about it, yeah.

[♪♪]

They gave us a tour
of the house,

and the wife, Janella,

started complaining
about her back burning,

so we lifted up her shirt.

She had good scratches
going down her back,

and then while we were
looking at those scratches,

we watched other
scratches appear.

- I mean, watched them appear.
- We watched them appear.

- You saw it. Wow.
- And that's when I decided,

"okay, maybe this is
worth checking out."

zak: Jason says he also witnessed
Janella getting scratched.

As I was blessing
the house inside,

it attacked her literally
outside on the front porch.

She wound up getting
scratches and welts

all across her back.

It left marks.

[♪♪]

Zak: Did anything happen
to you personally?

Yes.

I was left
with a huge bruise

that basically covered
right here,

- and you could count finger marks.
- Are you kidding me?

No, and it burned the
hair off my chest.

What?!

I had to actually put
burn medication on my chest

when I got home.

It left blisters.

Did you get burned while
you were doing the blessing?

- Yes, actually.
- You did.

Were you using God's
name,

- Jesus' name?
- Yes.

- So it attacked you for doing that.
- Yeah.

[♪♪]

Back in one of
the kids' bedrooms,

Aaron and Billy begin
an audio recorder session.

Can you state your name,
or who you are, or what you do?

What's your deal with messing
with the family so much?

Who's the one that's making
all the scratches,

scratching people,
scratching the family...

Scratching visitors?

Zak:
They receive no responses.

Are you concerned
for her children?

Very much so.

I don't feel them being safe
in the house at all.

I've told her so.

I said, "you need
to seriously look into

getting out of this house,
getting away from it."

- she's got little children, you know?
- Exactly.

I mean, a 3-year-old,
you know, getting marked.

That really upset me
when I found out about that.

Yeah, this is serious stuff.

- Very much so.
- These are as serious claims

as you can make.

Yes, sir.

Let us see how you manifest.

They burn.

This is not
a safe situation.

[♪♪]

All right, this is day two
of our investigation.

This morning,
I was just made aware

that the little


was attacked last night.

A 3-year-old child.

[♪♪]

I was sent video of huge
scratches going down her back,

and now I'm really upset.

I'm angry.

This is getting real personal
and getting real serious.

[♪♪]

I've invited Bishop Bryan
and sister Mary Joan

to join us in case an exorcism
needs to be performed

on the house
or any of its occupants.

Bishop Ryan is on his way.

He's just arriving right now
at the airport.

This is the first time
that I've been in the house.

The mother is there, and
I want to know what happened.

[♪♪]

[ Gracelynn crying ] As we
approach the Prathers' house,

we hear Gracelynn in distress.

[ Gracelynn crying out ]

So what happened?

I saw the video this morning.
What happened with her?

[ Shouting and crying
indistinctly ]

[♪♪]

Were you sleeping with her
when that happened?

Yes.

Did you feel anything
at that moment?

I had another dream
about the same time.

- [ Crying continues ]
- so what did you dream about?

- I had a dream that something came to me...
- Jason: [ shushing quietly ]

And once again told me

that they weren't going to leave
this house,

that it was their house.

[ Crying continues ]

[ Speaking indistinctly ]

I'm right here.

Nothing's gonna happen.

Is she scared from us
or is something here?

No, she started saying it as
soon as we walked in the house.

- What did she start saying?
- "I'm scared."

over the last
probably three weeks,

she says it a lot
when we're in the house.

[♪♪]

I would like somebody
to show me the bedroom

where this happened
to her

- last night, okay. - Dude, dude!
- What? What? What?

You're talking about
the bedroom,

and it just started
going nuts.

- How big was the spike?
- This one wound up to four.

[♪♪]

Zak: The trifield meter,

which detects variations
in the electromagnetic field

that could be caused
by an entity,

spikes as Aaron
moves towards the bedroom

where Gracelynn was scratched.

We head to the bedroom to do
a pre-lockdown investigation.

She sleeps in this bedroom
over here,

and she sleeps right here,

so you can plainly see that
there was nothing on the bed

that could've scratched her.

[♪♪]

Is there something
in this room?

[♪♪]

You don't like us here.

We're gonna prevent you
from doing

what you keep on
doing to this family.

[♪♪]

We're gonna bring in
the opposite power of you,

and you're really
gonna get pissed off.

[♪♪]

How does that
make you feel,

that we're gonna use power
to eradicate you from this home?

Let us see how you manifest.

Do something right now.

Zak: I notice that Janella is
showing clear signs of discomfort.

You okay?

I just feel burning
on my back.

Okay. Hang on.
Stay right there, please.

[♪♪]

Okay. Where?

Across my back.

Can I lift it up?

[♪♪]

Uh, yeah, are you okay?

[ Voice breaking ] yeah,
it's just, they burn.

[ Crying ]

- Are you okay, Janella?
- Yeah, yeah.

Okay. Do you want
to get out?

- Yeah.
- Okay. Let's get out.

Get her out. Get her out.
Get her out.

[♪♪]

- You okay?
- [ voice breaking ] yeah.

[ Breathing rapidly ]

[♪♪]

[ Exhales deeply ]

[ Sniffles ]

I got scratched.

[ Crying ]

[ Breathing deeply ]

How often does that happen?
'cause I just saw that.

Every couple of months,
they'll get real bad.

There have been ti...
There was one time

that it actually broke skin,

that the scratches stayed there
for almost two weeks.

[♪♪]

This is not
a safe situation, okay,

and I can't leave this house
knowing that something is here

causing that and doing this
to a 3-year-old little girl,

- your daughter.
- Yes.

So, it would make me
feel better

if you guys got out of
the house right now. Okay.

And we're gonna start
the first stage of this battle.

Zak: I am increasingly disturbed
by what I am seeing in this house.

[ Gracelynn crying ]

Do you think she could
be attacking herself?

[ Distorted ]
um... I'm not sure.

I've never really thought
about it that way.

Zak: But I'm not convinced
at this point

that any kind of
demonic entity is responsible.

As I become aware of some
red flags in this case,

I'm already on high alert

for inconsistencies
or contradictions.

But with a 3-year-old
child involved,

I have to take that vigilance
to another level.

This is pretty bad.

They can even make you do things
without you knowing it.

[ Voice breaking ]
I hate living like this.

[♪♪]

Zak:
Bishop Bryan and sister Mary

with the old catholic
order of exorcists

now arrive to assist us
with this case,

but before we go inside
to introduce them to the family,

I want to hold a quick
debriefing in our SUV.

Here's the big concern
that I have.

The children
are being affected.

There's a 3-year-old girl

th's being scratched
on her back,

being, like,
attacked, okay?

Now, the mother upon looking
at the scratches

the way that they are,

I don't think that she's able
to do these herself.

It's really bothering me...
Is this 3-year-old.

- Wow.
- That is very compelling

and disconcerting
at the same time,

but particularly since
a child's involved,

we need to try
to help them.


She's a little girl.

- Yeah, that's kind of...
- That's crossing the line.

It is crossing the line.

I mean, somebody asked me
recently, you know,

what was the youngest
I've ever seen

with an oppression
or a possession,

and I said 12, confirmed.

I suspected
a 6-year-old once,

but it's not very common to see
anybody younger than that.

Okay.
This is pretty bad.

Yeah, it's
a 3-year-old girl.

- She's helpless.
- Yeah.

So we need to do something

and just keep your
eyes and ears on everything.

- Oh, yeah, definitely.
- All right, well,

let's see what happens.
Are you guys ready to go in?

- Oh, yeah. Yeah.
- Let's do it. Let's do it.

Zak: It is now time
to introduce the family

to Bishop Bryan and sister Mary.

[♪♪]

I'm sister Mary Joan.

Janella Prather,
nice to meet you.

- Bishop Bryan.
- Jason.

So I understand you're having some
disturbances in this place.

Yes, sir.

I'd like to ask you
a few questions,

- if I may.
- Yes, sir.

I can get a better idea
about what's going on.

Okay.

Zak: Bishop Bryan spends some
time getting as much information

as he can from the family

so that he and I make a proper
diagnosis on how to proceed,

whether it's using a blessing,
a minor rite of exorcism,

or a full-scale exorcism
on the individual.

I'm concerned that
it's targeting your daughter.

I mean, I'm concerned
it's targeting any of you,

but to go after a 3-year-old
girl is kind of unusual.

Right.

Uh. Has anybody in this house
been baptized?

I've been baptized.

- Everyone has.
- Yeah, yeah.

Everyone, even
your daughter has.

- Yes. - She is.
- Okay, excellent. That's wonderful.

What it's sounding
like so far...

I mean, of course
we have to kind of...

And it's always
three scratch marks.

Always in threes, okay.

In our work,
our primary obligation

is to seek out and eradicate
a demonic presence,

but in that work, of course,
there's...

You okay?
Something's happening.

- You're feeling something.
I- 've got...

That burning
on my back again.

Can you... can you...
Can you show us?

Zak: All of a sudden,
Janella once again

feels something
burning her back,

so we immediately have her
stand up to show us

if there are any marks.

Zak: You got burning
on your back again?

- Yes.
- Where at?

Sister mary:
Have the other ones faded?

[♪♪]

Where are you feeling it?

Can you point to where
you're feeling it?

- Is it these?
- Kind of towards the center.

This just looks like
a fresh blotch.

I mean, she was saying,
"back," but...

Yeah, but look at these redder ones here.
This right here is blotchy.

Oh, oh.

Those are a lot,
like, bigger.

Zak: These scratches
are much larger and longer

than what we witnessed
during our interviews.

However, they do seem to be
located in the same area

and are following the same
outwards motion towards her side

which now raises
a flag for me,

and at this time, I ask Janella
if she can take her right arm

and see if she can reach
the area

where these scratches are

in order to rule out
the possibility

that she is doing this
to herself.

Can I have you stand up
for a second?

Can you just reach
your arm back?

Can you reach your back?

I just want to make sure
you're not doing

- anything involuntarily.
- No.

I can't bend more than that
because I have...

Oh, wow.
What happened to your shoulder?

- I dislaocated...
- Okay...

Bishop Bryan: So you can't go any
higher than that. So I want to make sure

- you're not doing anything
subconsciously... - No.

'Cause sometimes
demonic entities,

things like that...
No, I can't go further back than this.

- Okay.
- Okay.

But sometimes, they can
even make you do things

- without you knowing it.
- Okay.

That's called
subconscious actions.

Zak: Janella proceeds to show me
a large scar on her shoulder

where she had
rotator cuff surgery,

which she claims prevents her
from reaching her arm back

any further than seen here.

However, during her earlier
scratches with us

in her bedroom
the previous day,

Aaron's video camera on his
phone told a much different.

Seconds before Janella
shows us her back,

you can see her
quickly reach her arm much,

much farther behind her back

than what she is
telling us right now.

Here is a split-screen
comparison of the footage.

Now I'm not saying
that in this moment,

Janella scratched her own back,

but it is our job
as investigators

to present all of the evidence
that we are collecting

in order to get to the bottom

of what is going on
with this family

and to protect the safety
of this 3-year-old girl.

So you're feeling it
right here.

- Mm-hmm.
- Okay.

And towards the lower back,
as well.

Sister mary:
To the left or right?

- To the right.
- Okay.

Bishop Bryan: So, that's
what she's seeing,

and that's what she's feeling.

And it felt like a quick burn,
or is it consistent?

No, it's consistent burning.

Zak: So now with the investigation
raising more questions

about what is really
going on here,

is Janella scratching
herself for attention,

or is she suffering from
some type of dark influence

that's causing her to do
these things subconsciously?

Um... Okay.

My biggest fear is I don't want
it going from me to her.

Like I told zak earlier,

I would prefer it
happening to me than her.

Have we checked her back today?

No.

I'll have to untie
her shirt.

Okay, just to make sure that
there's nothing on there.

- No.
- Come here.

- No...
- Hey.

[ Whimpering ]

They just need to see
your back, honey.

Jason:
Let's look at your back.

Sister mary: Oh,
one right down the middle.

- Is that the same one from earlier?
- Mommy! [ whimpering ]

- No.
- Okay, so let's kind of remember this

- and see if that's...
- Here, can I take a picture real quick?

- Yeah.
- Okay.

Zak: Gracelynn does appear
to have a distinct red mark

running down
the center of her back,

but we are unsure
what exactly has caused this.

I'm just gonna put a little
water on your back, okay?

It's all right.
[ whimpering continues ]

[ Bishop Bryan and sister Mary
whispering ]

- Okay.
- You okay, Janella?

[ Voice breaking ]
I just hate this.

I hate living like this.

Now it's just us,
so take your best shot.

We are going to remove you
from this house.

- She doesn't like this room.
- [ whimpering ]

[♪♪]

Zak: The mother and daughter
in this Amarillo, Texas,

family home are still being
scratched by something.

- [ Whimpering ]
- okay.

We're gonna work
on fixing this, okay?

- [ Whines ]
- don't worry.

We have seen all sorts
of things,

and we have been able
to resolve them.

You don't have to listen
to everything we tell you to do,

- but we can fix this.
- That's fine.

- [ Chuckles ]
- we're willing to do anything.

[ laughing ] okay.

Zak: I begin to take emf
readings around Janella

because if something
did just scratch her,

I would think I'd be able
to pick up on the spirit

and its energy
attached to her,

and I'm not documenting
any spikes around her at all,

but then I move it
towards Bshop Bryan

and begin receiving this.

Zak: Guys, we're getting
some insane readings.

It's weird because look
at what's on Bishop Bryan.

- Do you see this needle?
- Yeah.

Watch when I go
away from him.

[♪♪]

See that?

Go again.

[♪♪]

How interesting is that?

Zak: These strong readings

I'm getting on Bishop Bryan's
right side

are quickly debunked
because he suddenly recalls

that his wireless mic's
battery pack,

which is typically placed
on his waistband,

is currently up in his
right jacket pocket.

This is debunked.

I'd like you to go back
into the bedroom.

[ Sighs heavily ] is that okay?
'cause look, I just...

- Yeah.
- That's where I felt this.

- That's where we saw this
happen to you... - Okay.

And I kind of would like you
to be there.

If this entity

- is in that space...
- Okay.

It's best to do there
where it's at.

- Is that okay?
- Okay. That's fine.

- Okay. Bishop Bryan...
- Yes.

- Is that okay if we bless
her in the bedroom? - Yes.

- Is that okay?
- Yeah, we can do that.

- Do you want to do
- We can come back?

Gracelynn's in there

since that's where
she gets scratched at, too?

- Both of you...
- Actually, that would probably

- Let's bring both of you in here.
- be a good idea.

We'll do them both at
the same time with this.

Sister Mary:
That sounds good.

Yeah, even though it's not
specifically for children,

it will work for both.

[♪♪]

So this is where you get
the most disturbed... here?

- Yes.
- Okay.

[♪♪]

- You don't have to be scared. This is fine.
- She doesn't like this room.

Oh, she doesn't like the room.
Well, don't worry about it

because what I'm gonna do right now
is gonna make this room a lot better.

In the name of the father
and of the son

and of the holy spirit,
peace be unto this home.

And unto all
who dwell herein.

Our health is in the name
of the lord.

Who made heaven and earth...

Oh, lord,
hear our mighty prayer.

And let my cry
come unto thee.

- The lord be with you.
- And with your spirit.

Let us pray.

We pray that of
thy boundless love thou

was at our humble coming,

visit these, thy serpents
lying on their beds of pain.

May the lord Jesus christ

be with you
to guard you within you,

to preserve you before you,
to lead you behind you,

to watch you above you,

to bless you who liveth
and raineth with the father

and the holy spirit in eternity.
[ whimpering ] no, no.

Amen.
Amen.

May the blessing
of almighty God,

the father and the son
and the holy spirit,

[ whimpers ]
Come down upon you

and remain with you forever.

[ Whimpers ]
Amen.

Zak: As Bishop Bryan
douses holy water

on both Janella
and her daughter,

we see no immediate reaction
from the mother.

[ Bishop Bryan and sister mary
whispering ]

[♪♪]

[♪♪]

How do you feel,
Janella?

I feel calmer...

Almost like peaceful

that I haven't felt
in a long time.

Zak: My instincts are telling me
that Janella does not have

a demonic attachment
or possession.

However, I do believe
that some people

who are very vulnerable could be
affected by a negative energy

bound to a property or home,

and I'm even unsure
if this is even happening here,

but I do feel it's right to have
Bishop Bryan and sister mary

still do a blessing
on this house

to cleanse the atmosphere
as a first step,

but before we do this,
I want to see if the guys

and myself can document
any evidence of demons

or spirits in the house
with the family gone

to a motel for the night.

If something is here,
we will detect it.

With Janella and her family
now leaving for the night,

we are very unsure of exactly
what we are dealing with here,

so to rule out the possibility
of actual demonic activity,

we will try to document
any evidence of paranormal

occurrences inside this house.

[ Screen creaking ]

[♪♪]

All right, now it's just us,
so take your best shot.

[♪♪]

We got the people
out of the house.

They're gone.

[♪♪]

Zak: Where are you at?

We are going to remove you
from this house.

[♪♪]

Zak: As I scan the entire house
with the SLS camera,

I am not detecting
any figures whatsoever,

and billy isn't picking up
on any unusual temperature

or emf readings
using the geophone.

Why don't you scratch
one of us?

[♪♪]

If you're here,
you have an advantage.

We can't see you.

Why wouldn't you attack us?

Don't you want
to mark one of us?

Focus all of your energy
right here in my hand.

Let's see what happens
when you walk in that door.

Oh, God!

[♪♪]

Zak:
We're attempting to provoke

whatever might be lurking
in this Amarillo house.

Zak: I can't imagine that you're
just gonna let us come in here,

remove your prey,

intervene...

This whole little hold
you have on this family,

and not do
anything to us.

I'd have to say that means
that you're weak.

Extremely weak.

Super weak,
laughable weak,

a disgrace
to your Dark Lord.

Show yourself, coward.

How'd you like Bishop Brya
being in here and sister Mary?

Can't do nothing?
Can't make a sound?

Can't throw nothing
at my head?

I don't even believe you.

What a coward.

Zak: As I continue to provoke,
we still don't experience

any unexplained activity.

Typically
when I would provoke like that,

I would feel something.
I just don't feel anything.

I still just don't
feel anything.

[♪♪]

Go down there.

[♪♪]

[ Device clicking ]

You getting hits?

Yeah, there might
be electronics.

I'm backing out,
backing out.

[ Clicking continues ]

It wasn't going off there.
I'm backing out.

Zak: Billy begins receiving
strong emf spikes in the kitchen.

Is this where you're at?

Focus all of your energy
right here in my hand.

Make the lights light up.
Show us that you're here.

Come at us!
I'm tired of playing this game.

Show us you're here.

[♪♪]

I got to debunk it, make sure
it's not something electrical.

[ Device clicking ] there's
a lot of appliances in here.

It might be this refrigerator.
It might be the oven.

[ Clicking increases ]

- Fridge.
- Okay, fridge.

[ Clicking increases ]

Oven.

Okay, that's debunked.

Billy debunks the emf readings

to be coming from
the kitchen appliances.

[♪♪]

Here, go ahead and do
a spirit box session.

[♪♪]

I want everybody out.
I want to see Aaron in here.

[ Bleep ]
what?

It's fine.
No, I just want to see what happens

when someone's in here
by themselves.

- I know, but it's just...
- We might be intimidating

- with the four of us.
- Yeah, let's go.

It's just I have never seen
just somebody in here alone.

Okay.

[♪♪]

Yeah, thanks, guys.

Hey, and if it's gonna be
anybody,

it should be you.

[♪♪]

[♪♪]

[ Exhales sharply ]

All right. Look.

When I turn this device on,

it's gonna be real easy
for you to talk, okay?

[ Oscillating static ]

[ Static continues ]

Why are you scratching people?

[ Static continues ]

Are you angry about that?

[ Static continues ]

Just say something.

Why are you tormenting
this family?

Why do we have to bring
in someone special to help?

What is it with this house?

Come on!

[ Static continues ]

[♪♪]

Okay, so, what's interesting
is we're observing

that he's not getting any voices
with the spirit box, nothing.

- It's kind of surprising.
- Let's see what happens.

I want to observe when you
walk in that door.

Okay.
I don't want him knowing.

I'm not gonna have you
scare him or anything.

I just want to see if something
starts talking

when you enter the house.

- Okay.
- Okay. Will you do that?

Do you want me to just stay
in the living room, or...

- Yeah.
- Okay.

[♪♪]

[ Static continues ]

I'm gonna set this
right here.

Bishop Bryan's walking in.

[ Muffled ] who are you?

[ Static continues ]

Do you like us here?

Is that what you want?

[ Static continues ]

Hey, Aaron, I'm in here.

Aaron.

- I'm in here. Oh, God!
- [ bleep ]! What?!

Oh... Jesus.

I think I bit my lip.

I heard a growl.

We cast thee out,
every unclean spirit.

[♪♪]

Zak: Aaron gets a traumatic
shock in this Amarillo home,

but it turns out
to be a false alarm.

[ Oscillating static ]

I'm in here. Oh, God!
[ bleep ]! What?!

Oh... Jesus.

I think you're
gonna be fine.

[ Both laughing ]

- You all right?
- God, dude.

[ laughter continues ]

Oh, my God.

- You didn't get hurt?
- Sorry, sorry.

[ laughter ]
oh, man.

[ laughter continues ]

I just about lost it.

- I thk I bit my lip.
- Zak sent me in here.

He said, "stay,
just stay in the living room."

oh, my God,
I was like, "oh,

I'm getting m*rder*d."

[ laughter ]

Oh...

Zak: While Aaron just got
one of the biggest scares

of any of us so far
this location,

it was definitely not caused
by any type of entity.

[♪♪]

[ Oscillating static ]
do you want to fight me?

Do you want to attack me?

Give me your name.

In the name of Jesus christ,

I command you
to identify yourself.

[ Static continues ]

It's not even doing anything.
You're not even getting,

like, you know,
words that are hard to...

- Sorry. My arm is burning.
- Oh, man.

- All right, let me head out.
- Sure.

[♪♪]

- You okay?
- Did you see that?

Zak: As me and the guys
join Aaron and Bishop Bryan

back in the house,
we decide to see what happens

if we try to elicit
a response in the bedroom.

Bishop Bryan: And I think if we
go right into an exorcism,

it won't be able
to hold out against that.

You know, typically we draw it
out more methodically

before we reach that step,
but I think because, you know,

we're limited with time,
we should...

Whoa.

Was that
someone's stomach, I hope?

- No.
- It wasn't mine.

I heard a growl.

Yeah, I heard it, too.

It just sounded like it
was over here

by this basket
or whatever's...

[ indistinct chatter ]

No, no, no,
it was in this room.

It went...[growls]
just like that.

Zak: We all do, indeed,
hear what sounds

like some type of deep growl
come from the bathroom area.

Because, you know, we're
limited with time, we should...

Whoa.

Whoa.

- Was that someone's stomach,
- I hope?

Zak: But just as we are reacting
to this growl,

the toilet begins to run.

That sound came through the tv.
We did hear it out here.

[ Rushing water ]

- Whoa.
- Whoa, that's never done that.

[ Rushing continues ]

What is running?
Is that a toilet?

The toilet just all of a sudden
started running.

Zak: While we can't identify
what made the growling sound,

we can possibly connect it
to plumbing problems

with the toilet
leading us to believe

it is probably not paranormal.

As we begin wrapping up
our investigation of the home,

we conclude that while we did
not capture any evidence

of anything paranormal
happening inside,

we are still extremely concerned

for the mental well-being
of the mother

and the safety of her daughter,

so Bishop Bryan decides to
perform a minor rite of exorcism

on the house
as a last-ditch effort

to see if anything demonic
will react to it

because if demons are here
bound to the property,

they will most
definitely respond.

By the name and power
of our lord Jesus christ,

I command thee to fly far
from the church of God

and from all who are made
to the image of God

and redeemed by the precious
blood of the divine lamb.

[ Whispering ]

[♪♪]

[ Polaroid sliding ]

Zak: After analyzing all of

the questionable evidence
and moments

that raised a lot of flags
during this investigation...

- I feel calmer.
- I make a quick phone call.

Bishop Bryan and myself
both agree

on his final thoughts
on this case.

Bishop Bryan: Well,
the whole time that we were there,

at no time did I feel anything
demonic in the house.

There was definitely
a spiritually charged

environment there,

and I think
this might be affecting

the psychological health

of the family
that lives there,

but I have many doubts

about there being any type
of demonic oppression

at work in this case.

I feel calmer.
