Okay, I'm just testing this night vision thing.
So maybe you can
go up to the loft.
I am.
Why do you think I've got my torch?
Okay, get the...
Get the purple suitcase
'cause that will fit
both our stuff.
I can't hear a word
you're saying.
It's actually better
without the light, you know.
Not for me.
- Well, I know.
- Whoa!
Are you, uh, ready
for the next three days?
Right now, the image is me.
But what happens when the image is something else?
- Shut up.
- What?
You're five steps
away from me.
And then your face looks
a bit stripy.
But what's that next to you?
Shut up!
Maybe we don't even have to go to a church to find ghosts.
Anywhere could be haunted.
This house could be haunted.
Yeah, don't freak me out
in my own house.
I have heard
of Clophill Church.
The way I know it actually
is the old St. Mary's Church
in Bedfordshire.
It's about
500 years old.
It stands on top of a hill,
well above the village.
And that used to be the parish church for the area.
But then, of course,
in the Victorian period,
with new architects,
new buildings
and also population increases,
they built a new
St. Mary's Church
towards the town center
of that area.
And sadly, the old St. Mary's
became redundant.
Eventually, it just became a mortuary chapel.
They actually stopped using it
as a church as such.
But then, somebody stole
all the lead off the roof.
When the lead was gone,
that's when all the weird stuff started happening.
And, you know,
people started using it
for alleged devil worshipping,
black magic, that kind of thing.
It also had the reputation of being somewhere
where, on Halloween,
you used to get groups of people
doing some kind of rites
and things like that up there.
Sometimes you drive past on Halloween,
you see fires up there.
Well, Clophill wasn't a cult landmark in the 1960s and '70s.
As well as all
the satanic stuff,
it also had many sightings
of apparitions
in and around the churchyard.
Until the 1960s it was a rather nondescript place.
Since then it has been a breeding ground,
if you like,
for paranormal activists
and paranoid individuals.
Okay. Hi, everyone.
So here we go.
It's Friday morning,
and the sun is shining
at the moment.
And we're now just getting set
to get in the car,
and basically go off
to meet the guys.
Um, but we are kind of
running slightly late
so I'm gonna go
and find my wife now.
We need to hurry, though,
'cause we're running slightly late.
Okay, well, I'm done.
I'm just putting these out for them.
We still gotta get
everything in the car.
- Hey, hon.
- Yeah.
Maybe we should take
this cross with us.
Which one?
This big one
on the wall.
Maybe give us a bit of protection.
What do you reckon?
Any advice you wanna
give me and Dad?
Good luck
and bring your rosary.
I do have. I already have it in my bag.
- Yeah.
You think we'll be successful?
- What do you think?
- Yeah.
Yeah, it's gonna be really good,
all right? You be safe.
There are gonna
be ghosts, Mummy.
- Well, that's...
- Real ghosts.
That's what we're trying to find out, really.
But there's gonna be
real ghosts.
- What do you think?
- Real ghosts.
You think they'll come out?
Would you be scared
if you see a ghost?
You won't?
Because when I go to bed,
I see friendly ghosts
beside my bed.
Do you? Do you still
see them up to now?
I thought that's only
when you were little.
- Witches.
- What?
- Witches?
- But they're nice.
You never told me
about witches.
- They're nice.
- They're nice?
But they're ghosts.
Any advice that you'd give me?
Ghosts that have big eyes
might be friendly.
All right.
Are they normally friendly when they've got big eyes?
My witches are.
All right.
But if they don't have big eyes,
would they be friendly?
I don't know.
All set to go.
- Have you locked the backdoor?
- Yep.
Well, I got involved
with this project.
Um, obviously I knew...
I knew Kevin and Mike, uh...
Producers of the film,
for a while now.
They also knew that I'd had
a previous experience myself
with a ghost.
Which was interesting
with someone like me,
because I have never
previously been someone
who's been that kind of,
you know, person to believe
in that kind of stuff.
I'm not religious. I...
I've never... Never have been.
Never been christened
from birth so...
You know, then I had
an undeniable experience,
that when you have it,
you just can't deny,
and Kevin knew this.
So he asked me
to come along
and be involved, you know,
with that obviously as an experience I've had in the past
to maybe give
some insight into things
that we might see
up at Clophill.
I first heard about Clophill Church about 20 years ago.
All I knew back then was that it was a ruined church on top of a hill,
had a history of witchcraft
and allegedly had faced
the wrong way towards Satan.
There's the legend
of Sophia's ghost,
all kinds of things.
A guy I knew from the local university at Bedford,
who I'd known for years,
contacted me.
He sent me a video
of an investigation
that he carried out
for Clophill Church.
Basically, a group of them
had spend the night there
and set up cameras in different areas of the churchyard
and inside the church.
And the night went
without incident.
But then,
the next day they were searching through the tapes,
they noticed certain things
on the tapes
they couldn't explain.
Well, they were pretty
creeped out by this.
So knowing that
I was a local filmmaker,
they thought it might be something I'd be interested in.
So they contacted me,
and that was kind of the catalyst for the project.
- Hey! Morning.
- Hello. Morning, Kev.
Hey, Mike.
- Hey, Kevin, my man, how's it going?
- Good to see you.
- Good.
It's very hot and...
Really hot in my house.
- Every time we sh**t...
Every time
we sh**t a film, this happens.
- It's been too long.
- Yes, it has.
Hey, Cris,
how you doing?
I'm good, thank you.
Craig's just driving.
Yeah, if you park
in the hotel car park,
we're gonna be
downstairs in the bar,
just checking Mark
and Mike out now.
Very patriotic shot
with you guys
with the Union Jack.
My name is Mark Jeavons.
I'm 29 and I'm a filmmaker
from Wolverhampton.
Do you believe
in the paranormal?
Um, I don't believe per se
because I've never...
I've never experienced
or seen ghosts.
But, I'm... I've got
a very open mind
about paranormal
and such subjects,
and I'm totally open to, uh...
I think with so much evidence over the years,
and so many stories,
that there's definitely
something to it.
Are you filming me?
I'm filming you filming me, yes.
- Yeah.
We've got lots of cameras this weekend.
When they
mentioned about the project
and said it's about
paranormal activity,
and, uh, the role is going
to be a presenting role,
also bearing in mind
that Craig and I have had,
you know, experiences
with the paranormal before...
And there's the man himself.
Pull over. There he is.
Looking very serious as well.
There's only gonna be
a small crew for the film.
And given the subject matter,
they had to be people
that Mike and I trusted.
We've worked with Craig
and Cris before,
and knowing that they shared
a paranormal experience,
thought they're ideal
candidates for the project.
Rob was very cynical
about the whole subject,
but Mark, Mike and myself
were much more open-minded.
So it was a good mix
of opinions.
It's an
amazing location.
- Yeah?
- It really is.
You know, seeing photos
of it is one thing,
but just being there...
It... It's just so rare
to find something like that.
Um, it's so kind of isolated.
Whoo! I can really feel
that sun on my skin.
Scorching hot.
Well, I hope it's
gonna be feeling spirits
as well as the sun
this weekend.
Hopefully, the spirits
like the heat.
Yeah.
- Okay, let's take a wander.
The church itself,
there's always been rumors.
The rumor is that the vicar,
he put the rumor around that there was a ghost in the church.
Because he made this rumor,
everybody went out with their black magic,
the whole lot.
And from that day to this,
it's always had that stigma
that it's haunted,
black magic.
All sorts of things.
I remember
Reverend Barker
as being a very congenial,
nice person,
but did like a drink.
The vicar... He was a vicar,
and he used to take these bones round to the pub
so he could get
his beer free.
No, it was true.
Was it true?
- Yeah, yeah, it was true, yes.
- Okay.
- What bones were they?
Human bones.
What had been dug up in the black magic at the church.
Do you actually know who did this black magic up there?
- No. No.
- No?
Or where they come from?
No, I didn't know nothing
at all about them.
I used to come in the night
and they were gone,
you know.
Do you walk
up there at night?
Do I? No. No.
No.
There's nobody up there to haunt you at night anyways.
Dead people
don't hurt nobody.
Yeah, the people
in Clophill were interesting.
A lot of them have lived there
for a very long time,
so you get the impression
that they surely must know,
you know, a lot of the stuff
that's gone on there.
We got the impression
that they weren't
too happy to talk about it,
whether it's to get people
away from Clophill,
to, sort of, get rid
of the interest in the area
or if it's something else.
If I lived in Clophill,
I'd like its reputation
to just disappear.
But the fact it is haunted,
it's almost impossible
to investigate.
I found it almost
impossible to go up there
without loads of people
turning up.
They'd all turned up there
to scare themselves.
Now, I'm sure that the locals aren't particularly happy with that.
Very, very quiet site.
And literally out
in the middle of nowhere.
There are no houses around.
There's a farm
in the distance,
and there's Clophill itself
down the bottom of the valley.
We are talking probably about a kilometer from the nearest habitations.
A very quiet site.
But it has a reputation,
a very bad reputation.
Basically, it was the site
of a black mass,
people worshiping Satan,
or worshiping evil.
When we first
got to the site,
during the daytime,
we were setting up
and just looking
around the area, really.
It was very peaceful,
beautiful, in fact, scenery,
looking around.
But we walked
into the church itself.
You know,
just looking at the walls.
Loads of writings
on the walls.
And at the corner
we just saw this little...
- It's a stick.
- No, it is a leg.
That is gross.
- No, it's bigger.
- Oh, God!
It's bigger.
There were, like, big teeth.
And we were, like, "Wow!
"That's gross. What is it?
"Is it human teeth
or is it animal teeth?"
'Cause it was hard to tell.
sh*t!
Underneath the rock.
- What's that?
- It's a horn.
At the back of the grass,
against the wall,
was this horn.
Hearing the stories
from the past
of all the black magic
that's gone on up there,
you know, these items
are often linked
to things like that.
It was very bizarre
and very kind of unsettling
for the beginning
of the sh**t, you know.
Paranormal or not,
there's things that go on up there that people aren't aware of.
Yeah, someone's had
a little fire up here.
This is precisely the area,
I think, where the ritual
that was found in '63 was.
It was in the middle
of the church
in the nave, which is where we are.
- Oh, yeah.
In March, 1963,
one of the graves
of one of the people
who were buried there,
near the doorway, was dug up.
Jenny Humberstone.
She was the wife
of an apothecary.
And her grave had been dug up and they'd found her bones in a circle
inside the nave of the church,
her skull impaled on a spike
and c*ck feathers
placed in the circle.
Yeah,
back in 1963, March,
Calvin Smith,
my friend, and I,
we took a bike ride
from Luton to Clophill,
and made our way up to St.
Mary's Church, where I'm standing now.
When I first saw
the church, I thought,
"What a lovely old ruin."
You know,
it was such a peaceful place.
There was tranquility
about it.
And it wasn't till we found
the skull and the bones
that things changed,
where it was
a peaceful start to the day
ended up in turmoil.
The Jenny Humberstone grave.
Yes, the bones
were taken from that,
laid out in ceremonial order
for a black mass.
When Calvin and I
looked through the archway,
the skull was
on an iron spike.
And the bones
were scattered around
in a circle around the spike.
There were black magic symbols
or crosses on the wall.
There'd been a fire.
I'm sure there must
have been watchdogs
to watch out for anybody
approaching the church.
I picked the skull up,
and Calvin,
he picked the bones up.
And we was walking
around with them
after the initial shock
of finding them.
And a couple came along
and they sort of told us off,
and they went away
and informed the vicar.
When we went back
down the lane,
there was the vicar
and some policemen.
And we was brought
back up here
and explained what happened.
They tried
to blame Calvin and I
for desecrating the tomb,
but it took five policemen
and the vicar
to put the tomb cover back on.
So two little boys
couldn't have done that.
Well,
there are other stories
about Reverend Barker
having a lot of bad luck.
And one of them
was his daughter,
who was run over in Shefford.
I don't think his mental state
was very good after that
or the black magic
that happened here.
I think possibly
the drinking was a crutch
because of what had happened.
This thing
did worry him so much
that he eventually
gave up the church
because of the black magic.
We were here
roughly 2006, 2007.
Uh, we came here
towards midnight.
- Nobody else was around.
- Yeah.
We came around
this corner over here,
and that's really
as far as we got,
where we seen a white figure
over some tombstones.
The figure was there.
We kind of looked at each other.
And when we turned back,
the figure was a lot closer.
What did
this figure look like?
It was
roughly 5 foot tall.
If you can imagine it
pitch-black right now,
and you seen
a figure 5 foot tall,
you can see, like,
a head shape and the shoulders
and everything else
is just kind of going down.
And it looks like, you know,
it's just standing there.
And it just took, like, you know,
eight to 10 steps forward
- in a matter of seconds.
- You know, literally seconds, yeah.
Yeah. It just looked like, you know,
it was gonna come towards us,
at that point.
I'm a bit of a coward so I didn't even bother looking
where these guys were.
I just... Straight down.
I didn't really wanna
come here today.
But I'm here now, but...
- This is not a very nice place in my opinion.
- Mmm-hmm.
- This is exactly the spot...
- Yeah. This is... This is the area...
- ...where we were standing.
- ...where you saw, right?
'Cause it was all dark,
you could just notice something white.
Yeah.
It wasn't there when we first took that corner.
Yeah.
It was when we got
to that arch.
Then we looked forward
and thought, "Hang on.
- "There's something a little bit dodgy there."
- Yeah.
And when we sort of looked at each other and looked back,
this thing was a lot closer.
Thing is, when you tell people
about these things,
they don't tend
to believe you, do they?
When you've seen something
like this for yourself,
you tend to take it
a lot more seriously.
- Yeah.
- Which is why I'm here today, I suppose.
These are the kind of things
you are expecting to do
later on tonight
then, are they?
Well, we don't know
what to expect,
so we want to do
a little investigation,
- and see what we find out, really.
- Yeah, yeah.
You know, if it's true or not or...
It'd be good maybe.
I definitely think you should concentrate your cameras on this area.
- Yeah, you would, you would.
- In this area?
This... This area here.
- Is it okay if we just move over there?
- Yeah.
'Cause I don't feel
too comfortable standing here.
No, sure, sure, sure.
I understand.
Sunny... Actually,
that's a really interesting story that Sunny told us.
And he was so scared.
He genuinely did not wanna go
around the back
of that church to the corner
where he said he saw
that white figure.
Usually, when you have
group hysteria,
it takes one person
to trigger it
and the others to believe
they also experienced it.
But when you have two people
who simultaneously experienced
a shocking apparition
coming that close to them
in the space
of a split second,
and then feeling
the need to flee and scarper,
that can't be
a group hallucination
because it's too
immediate for that.
So, Craig,
do you want to tell us what we're up to tonight?
Yeah.
Well, we're just kind of doing an initial scout out, really.
Just to get a general vibe of who comes up here
and, you know,
what happens over the course of the night, really.
Don't go too far.
I don't think it's...
Oi, Josh.
Oi, there's a huge
light down there!
You heard that, right?
- Yeah, I heard it.
Yeah.
What's down that way, Kev?
Goes all the way down
to Chicksands Wood, I think.
Whoa, whoa, Kev.
There is someone down here.
Are you sure?
I can't see anything.
Yeah. I'm sure
there was someone there.
Let's just go back.
It's getting late now anyway.
Yeah, okay.
So...
Try to introduce where we are.
We're, um, currently
at the bed and breakfast.
It's called House Beautiful.
And as you can see,
it's beautiful.
Wow!
Who's down here?
Uh... And it's Mike.
- Heya. Trying to k*ll mosquitoes.
- How you doing?
Yeah, we've just been trying to get daddy longlegs.
Yeah, I've caught...
I think I got that one.
Right.
Well, we're gonna see you in the morning.
- All right, Craig, good night.
- Good night.
- See you in the morning.
- See you later.
Okay. Yeah.
So, here we are, day two.
I've got my rosary here.
So, are you scared...
Are you scared of just simply being alone in the dark,
or are you scared of things actually being there?
Both, really. I mean, I hate
sort of, being outdoors
in the dark without a light.
Anything that would
maybe touch your leg,
or even if it's just the wind,
because of what the area
is known for, you know.
Obviously, maybe your imagination might start playing up as well.
And, you know, I've got
quite a vivid imagination,
to say the least.
I've got Chaucer.
- It is Sophie.
- Sophia.
"In loving
memory of Sophia,
"the beloved wife
of Bennet Stimson."
Stim... Yeah, Stimson.
Uh... "Who died June 28,
1915, aged 70."
Good start.
Well, I mean,
we'll obviously have a look around later
and see if there are any other Sophies or Sophias,
- just in... I mean, we don't know for sure...
- Yeah, it could be.
- ...that that's the one, but...
- Could be.
That's quite interesting
that it's just
under this tree on its own.
Ooh, well...
Right on the top, Sophia,
right across the...
There has allegedly
been a ghost
that has been seen there.
A couple
were visiting the church.
And they took a picture
through one of the windows
in the side of the nave,
and they saw
a misty-looking figure,
a white figure
standing in the window.
This figure was actually standing about a meter off the ground.
The locals have
nicknamed it Sophie.
Sophie's ghost.
With this site,
the things we'll be doing tonight
are completely different
to anything else
we've done at this site before
because we never really had a chance to investigate it.
Yeah, the second night,
Bill and his team
from the Luton Paranormal Society joined us for the investigation.
They experienced something unusual the last time they were up there,
but had been disturbed
by a load of teenagers.
So this time, with our
security team in place,
it was a good opportunity
to work together,
maybe test out a few experiments and see what we could find.
All so off.
- Something "Sophia."
- "Samuel Stimson.
"Died November the 5th."
Have you got any paper?
There's another Sophia,
isn't there?
Yeah, that's right.
You could do a rubbing, couldn't you?
Well, that's one word,
whatever that is.
"Above." "Above."
"Wife of above."
- "Sophia, the wife of above."
- "The wife of above."
Arthur and Samuel Stimson
were likely to be brothers
'cause they're both
on two separate gravestones,
and died at roughly the same time.
- Mmm-hmm.
But they've both got wives
called Sophia.
Oh! So there's two of them.
- Two Sophias.
- Mmm-hmm.
Would it take too long
for you to power down
your camera
- and power it back up again?
- Why?
'Cause I've got this squealing
that's going off.
It's like a sort of
high-pitched sort of...
- All right.
- Getting higher and higher in pitch.
It's off now.
- There's someone with a chainsaw...
- There's... Yes.
No, it's not that.
Flick it back on again.
Okay, all right.
That's not bad.
Surely, you can get
closer than that, Rob.
Andy, Bill and Steph
were over this area,
behind the church,
over this side.
And Dee and myself
were just talking
and I saw someone
behind Bill and Steph.
We were taking
the EMF readings,
'cause we had some
high EMF activity going on.
And that's when Sarah
saw us and thought
there was somebody else
over there.
We didn't know that.
And I sensed something over
where Andy had been so...
And then that was backed up
with the EMF readings.
Well, we were about here
at the time.
Um, probably
near those bushes,
in between the bushes and the graves, wasn't it?
- Yeah.
It was just there.
And this all led
to obviously thinking about
whether this place
is actually haunted or not.
And to looking at the places
where people had sighted
or felt things going on.
And it all seemed
to be outside of the church.
It turned out to be
by these gravestones,
which, prior to us
finding them,
no one seemed to be aware
that they were even there.
Day two. Hang on.
It's day two.
We're driving up
to Clophill at night.
We'll see
the place in a minute.
Nice shot here of Cris driving.
- Is this video diary?
Yeah, absolutely.
- It's a really bumpy road, isn't it?
Just coming up
to the church now.
Nice clear sky.
The stars are out.
Yeah, looks like it could be a full moon.
It's very bright.
It's good that Gerry's
sorted himself out.
I'm gonna have the police to tell him where to go, though.
- What, literally?
- Yeah.
My name is Gerry McGovern.
I work as a CPO.
Client Protection Officer
in the security world.
Also, I do security
for celebrities.
I do private filming
location work.
I've done various bits of
security in the 25 years
that I've been doing it.
Married to Dana.
We've got three children,
two girls and a boy.
Basically, it was this call
from my cousin.
Richard rang me and told me
that he'd spoke
to Michael Bartlett.
And our first night
was out in Clophill.
We had security
in place. We had to.
Because you get
so many kids going up there,
it just makes it impossible
to carry out an investigation.
So Gerry and his team
are positioned
at all the entrances
to the churchyard.
So, basically,
nobody could get in or out.
So you're setting up
your stills cameras there?
They're homemade
DIY equipment.
Your camera,
your DVD recorder.
You've also got a sound recorder on there for EVP.
Investigation tools,
that sort of thing.
Where do you start
and where do you end?
You can take
as much as you like
or as little as you like.
I've known people
who just take themselves.
Because they say
that the best detective
for a ghost is yourself.
You can see it,
you can hear it, you can feel it.
I tend to take
every single bit
of electronic equipment
you can imagine.
Um, night vision cameras,
digital still cameras,
sound recorders,
um, EMF meters
'cause there is a theory
that if a ghost manifests,
the local
magnetic fields change
and you can detect
that change.
And, hopefully,
might give an idea
that a ghost
might be appearing.
If there's EMF, that will light up.
- Okay.
Another thing
that we should mention
- is that you should get a feel for where you are.
- Mmm-hmm.
Because there's a lot of psychological factors at work.
When you come
to a place that's got
a lot of mythology
attached to it,
you know, you got
a full moon...
...you got, you know, blah, blah, blah.
- Yeah.
If it were raining,
- ...you know, and thunder storms were up.
- Yeah, yeah.
We got a
large infrared source.
So he's looking in towards the bit which is supposed to be where
Sophie's ghost is.
So I suggest we try and keep
away from that area.
No, Sarah and I were just...
All right, everyone
was having a break,
and we walked
around the corner.
And we saw the security man
and we stopped dead
because we could hear
somebody moving around,
or something moving
around in the...
In the undergrowth,
and so we got closer,
couldn't see anything.
Took him right
the way out to the road,
investigated around there.
Absolutely nobody.
No animals, nothing.
And all three of us
heard it for about...
He said it was going on
for about five minutes
before Sarah
and I said anything.
It sounds like someone heavy.
It doesn't sound like it's an animal.
It's too... Too noisy.
It sounds like someone putting their foot down onto the...
Onto the leaves
or something.
You know that crackling noise?
- This is where I'm hearing it.
- This exact grave?
I didn't know
it was that grave.
But this is where
I'm hearing the noise,
from these bushes
and this tree.
This is where it sounds
like someone's walking around.
Let's spend two
or three minutes.
So, why not see what happens?
We might send
a camera person over.
Um... When we do the...
When we do any activity there,
stuff happens on the outside.
Yeah.
It's a good idea.
There.
All right.
Well, let's keep our ears out for that again if it happens.
- Thanks, Gerry. Cheers.
- No, no problem.
If a couple of you stand over that side,
and a couple stand over this side...
The reason being
is what's been seen
has been walking down
this way,
heading in that direction.
So if anything comes through there and you, say,
pick something up,
if you do, let us know.
Don't just keep
your mouth shut.
So if you feel something...
Say you suddenly feel a cold shiver
or a raging headache or anything like that,
just say.
Because then
we may feel something
and you might feel it
down there later,
as if something's
gone through.
It just got colder.
- Freezing cold hands.
- Sorry.
- Oh, you're awfully warm.
- I am.
Is there anybody here who would like to communicate with us?
If there are any spirits
present with us now,
who's willing to
communicate with us,
then we ask you now
to give us some sort of sign.
On the floor you'll see
a green light.
That's affected by magnetic fields.
Try to move that light.
There's two sound recorders
on the floor.
Try to say something
into those if you can.
There's a figure been seen walking down this path.
Was that you? Can you come and tell us,
who you were?
Can you come
and walk through this circle?
- Got a rustling noise.
- I know.
Down there.
There was a click down there.
- It was down there.
It was right behind...
Just had
a cold shiver.
Yeah,
just felt a breeze.
Straight down my back.
I'll just have a quick check around the back.
Is that Bill?
- Is that Bill still behind?
There was definite
movement then.
I think...
I think I hear Bill coming.
Do you know where Bill is?
- Bill's down there.
- Yeah.
No way. I heard that.
- Did you hear that?
- Did you hear that?
I did, yes.
Listen, listen.
Hello?
That is creepy.
That was definitely footsteps.
Hello?
- Somebody going to have a look?
- Yeah.
- Craig's gone to look.
There it is.
Again.
- f*ck!
- What?
- Oh, my God.
- What's up?
I just...
I was walking in towards the other, um...
Sophia's grave,
just to kind of point the camera...
I don't know if that was a trick of my eyes or not.
It may well have been.
Did you see something?
- I just saw something go past me,
but I'm pretty sure
it was a trick of the light.
I was just stepping in
towards that stone.
I was kind of
halfway in and...
I mean,
it could have just been something in the tree above me,
but something just cracked,
as I stepped in as if...
As if, you know,
I was walking
towards something I shouldn't.
What we're about to use now is a thing called the ghost box.
All the ghost box is,
is a modified radio,
and what it's been modified is so that when you press the scan button,
normally the scan,
it just goes through frequencies
and locks on
to a frequency and stops.
This actually
continuously scans.
What you do
is you ask it questions
and every now and again you get an answer,
which is just...
It's taking snippets from all
the different channels
and you just occasionally hear an answer
which corresponds to the question you asked.
And it's remarkable
how often that occurs.
In some respects,
this works the same way
as doing Ouija
and things like that.
It's a case of calling out and looking for a response.
- Yeah.
Is there anybody here you would like to give a message to?
If so, please tell us
that person's name.
What did he say?
I thought
it said, "Stimson."
Stimson. Stimson.
What was your first name?
Sophia.
I thought I heard
use of the word.
- Use of the word.
- Yeah, use of the word.
I heard Sophia. Yeah.
"Change place."
Yeah? Okay.
Go on, do as it says.
Change place.
Were you the dark shadow
that Sarah saw
in the northeast corner
of the churchyard?
- Yes.
- Yes.
Do you have anyone with you that wants
to communicate with someone here?
If so, please say their name.
Said, "him," to me.
Did you say Gerry?
- Yeah.
- Yeah, Gerry.
Gerry is here
with us now.
Do you have a message
for Gerry?
If so, let us know
what that message is.
- "It's him."
- Do you have a message for me?
That's me.
Did you just say Craig?
"Of course."
Did you want to talk to me?
Do you have
a clear message for me?
Oh look,
the EMF is going crazy.
Something white has just gone past the edge of the hill just over there.
It's quite large,
going from left to right.
- It was right there.
- What do you see, Bill?
It was something...
Can you see, it drops down
and there's distinctly
something white.
Almost... At that distance it would have been about football size,
going across that way.
Oh, just seen a dark shadow go across that way now as well.
That was
a bit creepy actually.
Traveled straight
across my vision.
Quite large, long and thin.
I'd say probably about
1.6, 1.7 meters high and traveled about 4 meters.
It was leaning over,
like an angle like that.
So if you saw it
moving very fast.
Everything's there,
focused in that area there.
There's a lot of rustling,
isn't there?
When we were up here earlier
there was a bit of rustling.
No matter where you go,
this is where it's happening.
This is where I'm hearing
all the noise here.
It's this area.
Absolutely weird.
Yeah.
Argh!
What the f*ck?
Jesus, what the f*ck is that?
Some kind of bird?
That's bird heads.
What about Gerry?
The security guy.
- Yeah.
- Good old Gerry.
He called me and Mark over
and said, "I've been hearing
"like sort of panting
and rustling."
He took me about five paces to the left and he pointed into the bushes
and literally underneath his hand that he
was pointing was the broken headstone.
And I'm thinking to myself,
"Do you know?"
Well, no one told him.
And he didn't know
the name of the person anyway.
He said he heard a panting as well,
didn't he, like a dog?
Yes, he said it
was like a dog.
He said...
He said he literally expected a dog to come out from the, uh...
You know, the pathway.
Yeah,
so what do you think?
Tomorrow night, we'll bring...
I think it'd be really interesting if it was just us there.
I think the more people
that are there,
the less likely it is
that anything would happen.
The less people there are
to observe a phenomena,
the less people
there are to
conflict or doubt that something actually happened.
It's usually
with less people where,
kind of,
legends and rumors and these sort of stories are established.
You should never hear of,
you know,
one particular sighting
where a group of, you know,
a dozen people or something saw,
you know...
A group of a dozen people
were in the same sort of place
and they saw or they heard or experienced something together.
It's usually only, like, small groups,
you know, one, two, sort of people.
I think, you know,
they've thrown everything at it, haven't they?
They've thrown all their tools at it tonight.
- Yeah.
Just because we've got all these magic boxes and Ouija boards
and all this kind of stuff,
that we want
to communicate with them,
whatever they are,
I'm not even saying they're dead,
deceased people or whatever,
but whatever they are,
who said that those things
are what...
What bring spirits to us?
Who said... Who said that?
Who created them?
Who's to say that that's what they want to use
if that's what they are?
So I don't believe that...
That... That you can...
I do not personally believe that you can
communicate with anything that way.
But I do believe that you can
visually see things,
'cause people have and I...
I do believe that.
If this is the witness that we're interviewing today...
- Yep, the witnesses of the 1970 satanic services.
- ...I would need the board.
- Day three, by the way.
- Final day.
Just arrived in the morning
at the church.
Final day, hurrah!
Quite relieved actually.
Looking forward to a decent sleep tonight...
Or not.
- Let's call it The Final Day.
- Final day.
- Here are Kevin and Mike...
- Final day.
...already here with someone.
This is Mick,
everybody.
- Hi, Mick.
- Good morning.
- Pleased to meet you. Rob.
- And you.
Mick Peters, he arrived up there before we did,
to be interviewed.
He's one of the witnesses of the black magic from the '70s.
- I mean, 35 years is a long time.
- Yeah.
So I thought,
"Well, I'll just wander up."
And I didn't come up this track way.
I came across the footpath,
just took some photos,
walked in and there's a...
I think it's a small lizard,
small snake-like creature
in an "S" shape.
Well, the weird thing is, letter "S."
Do you not make the connection?
Ew.
Should we get that "S"?
It looks
like a snake.
The slow worm
is a form of snake.
But what, that's like
directly, like...
I mean, you know.
- ...symmetrical with the whole...
...directly in the middle.
I mean,
let's not get carried away.
Who knows how it got there,
but it's definitely
interesting.
Intriguing.
Again, it's actually pretty much where
we found the horn and it was in the...
Under the tower,
in the shape of an "S."
Our instant thought went straight to Sophie's ghost
and the gravestones
of Sophia.
Coincidence or not, it was,
you know, very intriguing.
Did a bird drop the worm,
but in the perfect shape
of an "S"?
I came up here with my brother and some other friends in 1975
on Halloween,
All Hallow's Eve,
'cause we were young, enthusiastic,
we'd got an interest in the occult.
We'd heard about this church
at Clophill,
so we thought it was a natural place to come to.
As we got into
the churchyard,
we could see light coming
from the church.
I don't remember hearing anything at that point.
The three of us carried on
along there.
We could observe people
through the broken,
side of the church.
They were certainly
people in there.
There was a sound of,
we can only describe as chanting.
I wouldn't have said it was rhythmic Gregorian chant,
but there was chanting,
there was noise there.
And the church was lit by what appeared to be fat candles
or something similar.
We then carried on to the end
of the churchyard,
crawling between the stones,
and it was at that point
we observed there was
definitely two adult females
who were
in a state of undress.
We also then saw
other people in there.
I thought they were
dressed in purple,
but they were attired in something similar to monks' habits.
Just while we were laying in the grass between the headstones,
there was a loud bang.
I seem to recall
it may have been a shotgun.
But at that point we decided someone's sh**ting at us to scare us off
and we duly took to our heels
and we ran back along here
and back down the lane.
When we got to the end of the lane where it joins the tarmac road,
there was a police van
and some police cars there,
and we were treated just as young people would be today,
"Stop causing trouble.
Go home."
And even though we were quite forceful with them, saying,
"You got to go up there.
There's something happening. There's a black mass,"
they almost rubbished the idea
and told us to clear off.
And it was almost like they didn't believe us, or,
as we thought afterwards,
they knew something
was going on.
They were either covering
for it
or maybe even the police
themselves were scared of it.
I came back the next day,
basically because I was still
inquisitive
about what had happened.
Parked the car in a different place,
walked into the churchyard,
observed numerous headstones had been damaged and pushed over,
the church had got
burnt-out candles.
It was generally
in a state of disarray
and there was bones
on the floor
which, I'm not a pathologist,
but I recognized a vertebra, certainly.
On the far side of the wall,
right hand side of the church wall,
was two words.
I think they were written
in blood. I can't be certain.
And it said, "Ne vide,"
which to me meant nothing.
I later found out, I was told,
that it is Latin for no future.
So something had definitely
taken place here,
relative to the occult.
And I'm still open-minded
on it.
I don't know whether there is such a thing as,
you know, satanic masses,
but certainly from what I've witnessed,
I believe there is.
Kevin was
interviewing him,
the rest of the team were kind of with
him inside the church and I was up,
on the top looking down.
And I noticed, while he was talking,
I saw these three scratch marks
down his arm.
'Cause a common paranormal thing is three long scratches...
Scratches, yeah.
It's kind of a demonic attack.
It means the mocking of the trinity
and tried to make sure that obviously we captured that on camera
because that was pretty interesting and he
had no idea how it could have happened.
Well, the guises
and forms of demons,
really, I suppose,
depend on the context in which they manifest themselves.
We got to be careful not to get mixed
up between ghosts and demons here.
Ghosts are the spirits
of dead human beings,
spirits that haven't
got through to the other side.
But demons
have never been human.
Demons are the spirits or souls that have fallen from grace
and have never,
ever lived in the form of a human body.
And they're dying,
they're itching to get into our world.
We're in the middle
of the woods,
somewhere around the vicinity of the Clophill Church.
We have to try
and find the church,
but I don't know if you can hear on the microphone,
but there's really loud drums banging,
which is very bizarre.
So we're just heading
towards it, but I...
Sounds like a train.
That's definitely drums now.
It's getting louder.
I don't know
if there's some kind of, um,
ritual of some kind
going on.
- Certainly don't want to be seen by them.
- No.
- I can smell fumes. There's a fire.
- Yeah.
Let's cut around here and then see if we can catch them
from an angle
that they can't see us.
In the background behind us,
I don't know if you can hear the drums still,
but we can hear them
in the distance.
We're not going to disturb them because I...
I don't know what they're up to.
But we'll carry on
now up this path.
I think the church is somewhere in the,
kind of,
left hand side
of where we're heading,
but we'll try
and make our way through.
I see gravestones.
Oh, man, this is spooky.
These gravestones over here,
can you see them?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Put your torch.
Oh, there we go.
- See that?
- Yeah.
Oh, rabbit.
Rabbit, see the rabbit?
Yeah, I got it. I got it.
I got it.
I think that was
a ghost rabbit.
The gravestones were over here so it's got to be...
Got to go
on the left somewhere.
God.
Oh, wow.
All right, we're going to
the back of the church.
Oh, wow.
Um... Yeah,
I mean, basically...
We were in Spain,
me and Cris, in a villa.
It was an old villa.
We were with our two kids.
It's probably been a couple of years ago now so she was probably...
The youngest was probably four,
eldest about 10.
And the little one, you know,
like kids do often, she'll come into our room,
come down
the side of the bed to me
and then, you know,
she might want a glass of water
or you know,
she's had a nightmare or something like that.
So this night,
we're all in bed asleep,
it's probably about
2:00 in the morning.
All of a sudden,
Caitlyn basically comes in the room.
So she then starts to walk down the side of the bed towards me,
right down the side until she gets right next to me.
And it's at that point that naturally,
you know, as I do,
I put my hand out
to, sort of, hold her hand,
grab on to her or whatever,
and say, "What does she want?"
But as I put my hand out
towards her,
she stood literally
as close as you are to me now,
I put my hand out,
it just goes
straight through her.
She disappeared.
It wasn't Caitlyn.
She just vanished right in front of my eyes, literally.
Um, and I just lie there,
for probably a couple of minutes just thinking,
"What the f*ck
happened there?"
And then I got up,
walked out of the room,
into where their room is,
they're in a totally
separate room,
just to check.
I mean,
it's stupid because she vanished in front of my eyes,
but I just wanted to check
that Caitlyn and Cassie
were in bed.
And I opened their door and there they are,
fast asleep,
snoring, literally laid out,
flat on the bed.
Um... So I don't know who it was,
but it wasn't Caitlyn.
People think
of ghosts as being like
billowous things
you can see through,
but that's not the case.
Most ghosts that people see
are actually solid.
And if you saw a ghost
in the street,
you would think
it was a person, not a ghost.
You can actually go up
and touch it
and you would think
it was there.
It was only when it disappeared that you'd realize.
On the plane home,
said to her,
"Got something to tell you."
And then as I sort of
was telling her,
expecting her to be sort of freaked out by what I was saying.
She suddenly turned around...
She said... What the...
God...
What the hell?
Whatever it is,
it doesn't like your stories, Craig.
No. Clearly not.
Like I said,
I thought she was going to sort of freak out from me
telling her this ghost story,
and she's being staying there for the last four nights.
But she turned around
and went, "Oh, my God!"
I didn't want to say anything
'cause I just thought maybe
it was just my imagination
or something.
I was doing the laundry.
I was sorting out the clothes and then
looked through the hallway like this.
I just saw something
that went in the room...
- What's that?
- What was that?
Plank went against the wall
by the sounds of it.
Yeah. It's a rock.
Rock just hit that wall.
- How'd you know?
- I heard it.
- I heard it.
- I did, I heard it.
It was behind me,
like a snap.
- Interesting.
- It's from there.
Somewhere.
There's no one else here.
Think something's
telling us something.
No, there was
definitely something...
Someone just threw the rock.
No, something
definitely...
See if Gerry's seen
anyone out there.
Rocks started to come in
through the windows,
quite close to us.
They started off hitting the wall with quite a loud bang.
And it kind of startled us
and, you know,
we carried on talking
and then more came in
and they ended up
getting quite close,
which made me uncomfortable,
not just...
Not so much because of what
it might be throwing them,
which was a question also,
but I didn't want to
get hit by one.
So one of the guys
just went out to have a look.
But no one was there.
So very,
very odd things to begin the evening
occurred there,
and no explanation.
I heard various noises.
Amongst all the noises,
I also saw strange things going on.
Obviously, being curious and in security,
I have to go a bit closer to have a look.
It doesn't sort of faze me.
I actually put off...
I had the torch here.
I was just talking to Dana
and I had the torch here.
And in that,
where that bush is,
to the white stone,
I just saw a...
It was like a dark shadow.
It just went
from there to there.
This is exactly what the eyewitnesses saw as well, yeah.
A cold...
I just shivered.
I don't know, the whole body just, like,
went into a tingle.
It went from there,
from that bush to there, and then I lost it.
I quickly put the torch
back up and it was gone.
Unbeknownst to me,
I was informed by the film crew
that two gentlemen
were walking past that way.
They saw a shadow come across and move very quickly towards them,
from the same location
I was at.
I heard
footsteps behind me,
and it sort of sounded like there was
someone running through the bushes,
and then up towards where the gravestones were.
And we saw a dark
shadow move across.
So I just stood here and I've come over feeling really overwhelmed.
Cold, shivering...
I'm shaking...
Um, I just feel like
I want to cry.
I just felt my body go really cold and all goosepimply.
And I just could not move,
and then I just started to cry.
I felt really overwhelmed.
It was really quite emotional.
Even now thinking about it
is really emotional.
We both
sort of asked each other,
"Is this really... You know,
was it real? Did we actually see it?"
And we said yes.
We both felt shivers go through our body
as if we've never
seen this before.
It's bizarre.
It really is strange.
Really, really is strange.
Dear God,
please protect us.
Please make sure
that if we open up a portal
that no evil entities can follow us after we close it.
Let's do it.
We'll see you shortly.
So they've started
the Ouija board in there
and we're now walking over here to see if anything happens.
We've synchronized
the cameras,
so whatever's going on
in there
we can map to whatever's
happening at that moment.
It actually seems
like it's got a lot darker.
It has.
Please give us a sign
that you're here.
Any spirits
here with us tonight?
Please let yourself be known.
Please communicate with us
by moving the marker.
If there is a spirit who
would want to talk to us...
...please give us a sign.
- Whoa, whoa, whoa... My God!
That's all five lights.
I'm just picking this up
to show that this is just...
This is not connected
to anything.
Anyone there?
Who's got the other radio?
Someone there on the other end of this?
Anybody there?
Here comes Gerry,
and he's flying over.
- What's happened?
- What's up, Gerry?
All right, listen,
just over there,
from where we were standing, just this area here...
- Yeah.
A shadow that's just gone from there straight over to here.
- Same as it did before?
- How long ago?
Just two seconds,
it went from there across to here.
Dana spotted it.
I spotted it and I wasn't sure
and she confirmed and it just moved straight across there to here
and I saw you.
I mean,
it was answering questions to her.
Like, every time she asked it a question,
it would respond.
- It wasn't, like, randomly happening.
- Exactly...
Exactly after my question.
I tried questions,
Craig tried questions, nothing.
How's Dana?
- She's all right now, she's fine.
But it's just that we both
saw that shadow,
and it moved from there very fast over to here.
We both saw it.
And that's why I came running over,
in case you...
You know, you got the senses of it.
- Yeah.
This thing's
kicking off now,
so we might as well
get it while we can.
We're only here for
a few more hours.
Yeah.
- Does Cris want to do the Ouija board?
Well, going by how freaked out she just was,
I wouldn't have thought so.
Yeah, well,
we basically set up this little table outside
where the activity
was happening.
I suppose
the Ouija board just...
Just with its history,
it had a little element of, uh,
I guess a little fear element
of what's going to happen
when we sort
of get it out, but I...
I didn't really think
too much about it
because I'm not
a religious person.
Never have been.
I don't believe in any of that kind of stuff.
I come from a very religious family and a religious country.
Most of the people back home practice the Catholic faith.
My thoughts about Ouija boards
is that nothing good
can ever come from it,
in fact, the opposite
can only come from it.
I don't know any situation
where one has been used,
where the people that used it have walked away happy about it.
Well, there's been
stories about people being possessed by spirits,
followed home by spirits.
I think we need to be clear what you're inviting in,
first of all.
Uh, prayer is important,
but also the nature
of your questions.
We would very much like
to communicate with you.
If you are here,
could you please let us know somehow
by moving the marker
or even by any other means,
touching us,
in any way you can to
let us know you're here,
but just show us something.
So, they did one round,
nothing much happened and, uh,
then Kevin said, you know, "Cris,
do you want to have a go?"
I was a bit reluctant to join.
Um, didn't particularly
want to do it.
So, you know,
I reluctantly went and sat and I just thought,
"Well, hopefully, you know,
nothing will happen."
So far nothing's happened.
We used a different method,
I think.
We used a ring.
This ring is, um,
quite special to me.
It's my father's ring.
My father died 25 years ago.
So it's his wedding ring.
So if you have interest
to try this out...
How are we
gonna hold it?
How do you
wanna work this?
Okay, if there's any spirits here with us tonight,
please communicate with us
by the board.
I would have people with me who are quite experienced
in working
in ghost investigations.
I would have a clairvoyant there that I trust.
You need those people there
who are experienced.
I wouldn't dream of doing
it without them.
sh*t, that's scary.
What the hell happened?
- That was weird.
- It just jumped.
- Did you feel that, it was like...
- Yeah, that just...
- It vibrated. It...
- Yeah, it just kind of...
Just went and then,
I don't know...
Please let us know
that you are here.
That's moving.
Well, it's on
"S" definitely.
I don't know.
- Well, I'm barely touching it.
After a while,
there was definitely some kind of movement there
and again with Ouija boards
it's hard to determine
whether something's happening
or whether you're just...
You know, someone's
pushing it with their finger
or too much
weight on it or,
you know, nothing necessarily
going on on purpose, but, um,
just moving it by
accident maybe.
- Is it a "Q"?
- It is "Q."
It moved on
to different letters and...
Didn't really have any idea of what it was trying to spell out.
And we sort
of jotted them down
uh, just a random...
I think six, seven letters,
something like that.
It didn't really make
any sense at all.
I couldn't even
really pronounce it.
It started with an "S," I think.
"Seqour" or something like that.
Didn't really mean anything.
But when we sort of got back and, uh,
researched and sort of
figured out anagrams
of these particular letters,
they actually made up a Latin
word that meant "to follow."
Which, uh, upon
discovering was
not fun to hear.
I can't imagine,
well, I guess one of us
could have known
some Latin words,
but it seems...
It just doesn't seem...
Seem possible to me. Um...
It was very bizarre,
very bizarre.
What we thought would be
an interesting idea once we
locked down the fact that
there was a hot spot,
would be if each
of us spent 10 minutes alone.
The "10 minutes alone"
was an experiment
based around
what Sunny and his friend
had seen up at Clophill
a few years before.
When we interviewed him,
it was daylight and lots of people around,
he said, "Well, typical,
nothing's happened.
"I guarantee if I was on my own,
something would happen."
So, we thought, "Well,
why don't we try that?"
Each of us will spend 10 minutes on our own over by the line of graves
and set the camera up
and just see what happens.
The 10-minute
experiment was...
My heart was pounding
so, so strong
because I really didn't want
to be there on my own.
Still no activity
to report so far.
This is the time when it's
going to happen, 1:00.
- It's your turn, Rob.
- See you in a bit.
- How you feeling?
- Good luck, Rob.
Feeling well,
feeling good.
Yeah?
- Evening.
- Evening.
- How's it going?
- Nothing to report really.
No? Nothing to report?
- No signs.
- No signs.
- Not a jiffy.
- Not a jiffy.
How do?
Just here for my
10 minutes of fame.
I suppose I should take the hood off, really,
so I can hear what's going on.
Lots of moonlight.
Ah, let's do the hair.
Cheers, Mark.
Ah, so, what we got here?
Ah. Got a little
bit of rustling
over this way.
Is that Mr. Fox?
Okay, torch off.
So, I can definitely
hear footsteps now.
Definitely movement.
You see movement there, Mike?
- Are you ready, Cris?
- Oh, God.
- Here we go.
- Really?
Go for it.
I see a torch.
Is that Cris on her way?
Yep. She's just approaching the, uh,
church now.
I've just been advised
to be quiet a bit,
so that I can
hear any noises.
Okay, there are some
noises behind me,
right by the path.
Did you say you heard noises?
What sort of noises?
In the bushes.
Yeah, that's exactly what I heard.
- Hmm.
There is a lot
of movement there.
How long? How much longer
do I have to be here?
Okay, there's definitely something there.
I don't know what it is.
But it's just behind there.
Oh, thank God.
So, I'm going
to go now. Hurrah!
My 10 minutes is over.
I'm so glad.
Make sure you give
Craig the walkie-talkie.
Yep, he's here now.
I'm leaving him the walkie-talkie.
And I'm so glad I'm done,
because this noise ain't stopping, mate.
- It's just right there.
- What kind of noise?
Well, just now,
it's like walking on the gravel, I swear.
Okay.
- Have you had your torch on the whole time?
- Yeah, what'd you think?
Can you feel my heart?
Good luck.
- Bye.
- Bye.
- Well, here she comes.
- She's actually running.
- Oh, wow.
- She's running.
If you can see me from here,
this is, uh...
Roughly where the sightings
have been seen. Just here.
f*ck!
The biggest scare of the night was that, Mike. Cheers.
There is definitely something.
Can you hear that?
There are definitely
noises. Uh...
It seems to have
stopped now, but, um...
For a while it was like something was rushing through the trees.
Is there anybody here
that would like to talk to me?
We're not here
to harm you at all.
We're just here literally
to try and say hello,
and, um, see if there's
anything we can do
to even possibly help you.
Is that you?
Are you here with me?
There's something
in the trees down below.
It's a really dark path,
but there's something.
Actually, it seems
like the security.
They may have heard it, too,
'cause I can see their torches
shining in exactly the same direction that I'm pointing,
straight down this pathway.
Okay, Kev, how are you doing
up there? Are you ready?
Yeah, I'm in position
and the camera is rolling.
Um...
I'm over here by the graves,
it's all pretty quiet at the moment.
- Okay, keep us posted if anything happens.
- Ten minutes start now.
Ten minutes start now.
What's that?
Definitely heard
something, in the...
Behind the grave,
below the tree.
All right.
Behind the graves.
He's hearing sounds
behind the grave.
When you say, "strange,"
what do you mean?
Like, breathing, uh, movement,
what kind of thing?
Definite movement.
If it's quiet, then hopefully
the mics can pick stuff up.
Five minutes, exactly.
Half the time.
I'm gonna go
check it out.
- Mark?
- Mmm-hmm?
How's Rob doing?
Is he all right?
Um, he said he wasn't
feeling very well.
- He just needed a breather.
- Oh, okay.
I think he said he'll rest in the car for a bit.
Okay, that's fine.
Okay, Kev,
how's the hunt going?
- How long are we in?
- He is eight minutes now.
All right, Kev, you're eight minutes, so,
in a minute's time
we're going to probably
come look for you anyway.
How you doing?
- I think we should go.
- We got to give him his full 10 minutes.
Unfortunately that's the agreement we had when we did this thing.
Just a bit worrying that he's not answering.
- Yeah, I know.
Yeah, let's go on there.
- Is it 10 minutes?
- Yeah, close enough.
By the time we get over there,
it will be 10 minutes.
Is there someone with
a torch over there?
Kev? No, he's not there.
Kev.
Okay, so he's probably...
- Kev.
- Kev.
What's happened here, man?
I thought I just
heard him walking.
I, uh, will check for these...
- Has he got a torch?
- Is the camera still rolling on Kevs?
- Yeah, it's still rolling.
- It's still rolling.
Kev got a torch.
He would have
heard us, though.
He's probably
not that far away.
That's all right. You guys,
just hang on a sec.
Well, me and Mark will just
go around the path.
All right.
We'll wait here.
Mark, can I use your light?
That is weird.
Well, did he...
Did he not
maybe go down that way?
Yeah, but then he would
have radioed us
and the radio would have...
Can you hear that,
in there?
Kev?
I think I heard
a voice around this way.
Is that you?
Hang on, that's the...
That's the radio.
- Where? Where?
- Kev?
There's a light over there.
There's the walkie-talkie.
Where the hell is he now?
I saw movement in there.
- Yeah, you all right?
- Yeah.
He couldn't go far from here.
- Keep it down.
- Okay. Sorry.
When I was
over there, there was...
There was definite footsteps
coming from behind the graves.
Literally over there.
There was a shape,
a dark shape.
It moved right across,
left to right.
Okay.
I can't even hear
Mike or Mark now.
- Where they hell has everyone gone?
- I really don't know...
- Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!
- Psst.
They've just gone round the corner to look for Kev, but...
I don't even
have the radio now, so, I...
What the hell is that?
f*cking sh*t!
Get out
of there, Craig!
- Gerry, get over here!
- What's happening?
We need to go... Gerry!
Give us a hand.
- You all right?
- Yeah.
I don't know what the f*cking hell,
something's in there.
- It's down there in the bushes.
- Kev!
They saw something
that froze them to the spot.
Something...
- You all right?
- Yeah, no. Something...
Something was in there.
I don't know what it was,
some kind of face or something.
She freaked out, she ran and now she's...
Now she can't move.
Did you just push this on
her ankle or something?
Yeah... I don't know
if she's fallen or...
She's shivering.
I don't know.
I can't move it.
But we need to go... Something... Seriously,
go and have a look down there.
I can't
feel anything!
Gerry, help me out.
- Gerry, did you see anything?
- I didn't.
I shone the torch there,
but there was nothing.
- Are you okay?
- I can't walk.
You can't walk?
Literally, you can't walk?
- I can't move my legs.
- Let's get her out of here...
Let's get back over to church.
Come on, guys.
Hello, Rob.
Can you hear me, Rob?
Oh, man...
I swear to God,
I don't know what the hell that was,
but there was something behind the gravestones,
in the tree.
- Did anyone go back around there?
- Yeah, there was...
I didn't see anything at all.
You didn't, did you, Gerry?
I did. I shone the torch around,
I couldn't see anything.
You know, if one of you guys was, like,
around there trying to trick us or something,
I would have known.
That wasn't normal.
I swear to God,
that wasn't normal.
Come on. Let's just get out,
let's just go.
Let's just go home.
Over this way.
Guys, just do me a favor.
Just head back to the car.
Just make sure
Cris is all right.
Me and Kev
will just head this way,
see what we could find, yeah.
We'll be back in a minute.
Okay.
Right here.
Just mind your head.
You think
this is the best idea?
Kev, seriously,
there was something there.
If you play that tape back,
you'll see it.
Gerry's on round.
Shh.
Which way?
I don't know.
Just keep going.
Turn the torch off.
Do you see that?
Yeah, I see it.
What are they doing?
We should go.
sh*t! f*ck!
f*ck! f*ck! Do you think
they followed us?
I don't know, man.
sh*t!
Shh...
Did you hear that?
What?
Oh, f*ck. sh*t!
f*ck! Oh!
- Come on! f*ck!
- Go!
sh*t!
sh*t!
Give me your hand! Come on!
The police were all over the area by this point,
and we told them what happened,
what we just witnessed.
They went back down there to have a look and scout the whole area.
When they came back up,
they said there was no sign of anything down there.
They hadn't seen
anybody at all.
When we arrived
home that evening, the...
The night wasn't over.
Here she is.
- I'm exhausted, I'm really tired.
Cris was recovering
from what had happened.
She got feeling back and started to feel a little normal again.
This was, like,
4:00 in the morning.
And apart from the tiredness,
I was quite distressed.
We just really wanted to go to bed and not think about anything until...
Until the next day, really.
We have to be quiet, though,
because everyone's going to be asleep.
Maybe we should
take our shoes off.
Yes, we should take
our shoes off and go.
sh*t! sh*t!
I can't see a bloody thing.
It's pitch black.
We have
to be really quiet.
But if we use
the night vision,
at least that will show us
where we're going.
What I was thinking. Genius.
Where the hell is the switch?
Oh, here we go. Hang on.
My God! sh*t!
Caitlyn!
And there,
right in front of us
was our six-year-old
daughter, standing
with her head down,
hair over her face.
It was quite frightening
at the time.
It was, um...
Obviously, it's our own daughter, but, um,
it just was
a shock to see her
standing in the living room
at that time in the morning,
in the pitch blackness.
Turn the lights on.
Turn the lights on.
For goodness sake,
what the hell?
And right in front
of her, on the floor
was our huge wooden cross
that's usually hung
above the stairs.
How it got there,
I have no idea and why...
Why she was standing
in the living room
in the darkness
at 4:00 in the morning,
I could never really explain.
She wasn't aware of anything.
She wouldn't wake up.
Cris was panicking about things because of what we'd just experienced.
Uh, so I just had to
calm her down
and tell her it was all fine.
I picked Caitlyn up,
I took her upstairs.
Um, put her in bed.
Oh, night-night, tiny girl.
Peaceful, carried on sleeping.
We'd obviously had experiences with Caitlyn in the past as a young girl,
talking about
being able to communicate,
but we thought it had finished
because she was now
getting to the age where
most people sort of say that
if the children do experience things,
they start to lose it.
But then she came to us, uh,
the morning after the event,
I think, really, it was,
and said that someone new
was talking to her.
Someone she hadn't
seen before.
And that
they weren't very nice.
And that they wanted
to cause harm,
and that they were
pretending to be her friend.
She's not really one to
make things up like that.
And she's talked
about this friend since,
on numerous occasions.
And it's made Cris...
Really petrified about being on their own in that house, really.
It is a concern, and it's
obviously bothering me.
Maybe it's just
your imagination.
But it's the same thing
like when I was in Spain.
I'd say, "Oh, maybe
that was nothing."
Or maybe there is something.
All the events
that happened up at Clophill
point, quite clearly,
to the idea that
something followed us home.
As much as possible,
we obviously do not want to frighten the children.
If it carries on,
you know, we might have to
do something about it.
I don't know
who's up there.
I don't know
if anyone's up there.
I guess you just have to go up
and make your own mind up.
