Like, I just see pain and suffering.
It feels like something's draining the life out of me.
Somebody is screaming and yelling.
Kinda going crazy.
You think she should move out?
If it were me, I would.
I don't like feeling like I'm being watched.
There was a massacre in the 1830s.
Bandits, outlaws.
I don't know. I think this guy was murdered.
There was some Ku Klux Klan activity.
I get some uncomfortable gatherings, probably like KKK.
Uh, a lot of death.
There's something down there.
My name is Amy Allan.
A lot of dead people are here.
I see dead people. This is not good.
I speak to dead people..
He is very pissed off.
And they speak to me.
The house is angry.
But there's only one way to know if my findings are real.
He's killed people.
I rely on my partner.
I'm Steve Di Schiavi.
I'm a retired New York City homicide Detective.
He got shot at his house?
And I know every person, every house has secrets.
Aren't you terrified being here?
It's my job to reveal 'em.
That sounds like something out of "The Exorcist."
But Steve and I never speak..
We never communicate during an investigation.
Until the very end.
It's bad.
When we uncover if it's safe for you to stay..
I'd like some answers.
Or time to get out.
To avoid influencing each other,
Amy and I conduct our investigations separately.
I'm here to meet with a woman who claims to have experienced
a lot of crazy things in and around her home.
She lives in the middle of the woods and feels trapped inside
by the evil she believes is outside.
She thinks her life is in danger, but she's refusing to leave.
I'm hoping Amy and I can help her out.
Before Amy enters the location, I have to cover or remove all personal items,
including religious icons.
This way the client's possessions
won't influence Amy's perceptions during her walk.
As I approach this location, I can already hear dead people speaking to me.
There's lots of death and pain and sorrow here.
They're telling me this is a very unstable place,
and that there are many different entities here..
All with their own agendas.
I'm seeing, like, a lot of..
Bones?
There is pain..
And suffering.
I'm so glad you're here.
What's going on?
I'm seeing things, hearing things, and I think it's affecting my health.
Okay.
It's probably the worst health I've ever had in my life.
Well, let me ask you a question. Do you own this place, or you rent?
I'm renting it.
- You rent. - Right.
So walking away from it is not a big deal.
It shouldn't be at all. I should be, like, running.
Yet I feel it would be the end of the world if I leave this property.
So you have a connection to this property.
Uh, an emotional connection like a woman to a bad man.
All right. The stuff that's going on, is it more in the house or outside?
I'd say 85% of it is out here.
- Outside. - Yes.
There is um..
A strong dislike for the people who live here.
With the people who are outside.
There's a major clash.
But they don't come in here.
Okay.
They don't come inside.
They make it known in other ways.
Like what?
Knocking at the door.
Shaking the trees.
Hooting and hollering.
Pretty powerful stuff.
Big clash.
So, Annie, you said a lot of activity happens..
Out here in the woods.
What's going on? What do you see here?
Up over here I've seen men that look like Indians just moving amongst the trees.
And you mentioned shadow people?
The shadow people.
There's two to four of them.
And where I've seen them is literally right here where we're standing..
Right in this area.
I watched them just kind of move around back in here between the trees.
They're about as black as your shirt, deep black smoke.
That's contained in the shape of a figure.
Now is there anyplace else on the property you can show me that,
you've seen some stuff?
Absolutely.
Okay.
In the middle of the night, I got up, got out of bed.
Got my dog.
And saw what appeared to be figures in hoods and long robes.
Walk in a line from one end of the this field across in front of me.
And simply fade into the brick wall.
Scared me to death.
They come across.
They hit that wall and disappear.
Yes. Right through it, as if it wasn't there.
There's these people and..
They're making a big bonfire.
They're drinking and hanging out.
There's, like, some negative reason why they're together.
Okay. How did they look?
They're completely white.
Their jeans are white.
Their shirt's white.
Their skin's white. Their hair's white.
Their eyes are completely white.
It's not good.
It's bad, really bad.
Annie, can you describe the kind of pains you're going through?
Well, I have a degenerative disc disease in my back.
And it seems the more the activity, the pain spikes with it.
And the fatigue gets worse.
The activity and your pain seems to go hand in hand.
Does that sound right?
Yes, it does.
It feels like something's draining the life out of me.
The people who are outside..
They're causing issues.
It's causing emotional distress.
I think it might make them physically sick.
Are you picking up on some symptoms?
Gut.
Intestine.. You know.
Very bad.
It's all inside of them.
In this particular room, I've seen a man.
Who is always in this area when I see him.
- This corner here? - That corner right there.
And he's medium height..
50-ish, kind of rotund with a ruddy complexion.
Does he look at you?
I think sometimes he's watching me.
What it feels to me emotionally is that he's lost.
Uh-oh.
What's wrong?
"Something" standing there.
Why do you say "thing"?
Uh-oh.
Oh.
Oh, boy.
I think it's a shadow person.
Uh-oh.
What's wrong?
Oh, boy.
I think it's a shadow person.
Shadow people are evil entities.
No one knows where they come from, but they're very dangerous.
Somebody is screaming and yelling..
Like a maniac.
A woman yelling at..
"Something"..
"Something" standing there.
I'm seeing this shadow person through the eyes of a woman who is terrified.
I'm, like, trying to figure out if it's a real shadow person
or if that's how she's perceiving it.
Because I'm definitely seeing it from her..
Her perspective.
If that's really what she saw, that's really..
Creepy.
But as I take a closer look, it appears that this is really a dead man.
I just see his hair, kind of wavy..
Thick wavy..
Maybe 40s, and bad things did happen.
Bad things did happen.
Joel, how long have you lived here?
Uh, since August last year.
Now what's your relationship with Annie?
She's.. She's like a step-mom to me.
She's a very, very close friend of mine.
- You work as a truck driver? - Mm-hmm.
How often are you here?
Normally I'm here once every six months.
When you first moved in here and Annie told you what was going on,
I mean, what was your impression of that?
I thought it was just hocus pocus.
And I'd.. I'll believe it when I see it, you know?
Unfortunately, I have seen it, and I've felt it.
Let me ask you, do you think she should move out?
Yeah. Because I don't know if it's gonna hurt her.
What experiences have you had here?
I've walked into the room about 2:00 in the morning,
and it feels like somebody just stuck my finger in a light socket.
You mean, like a elec.. Uh charge?
Yeah, it's like an electrical charge. You get shocked.
- Just by walking in. - Just by walking in the room.
Your hair will stand up on end. I've been touched on that bed.
Like, I've had a full hand on the side of my face, stroking my face.
It's freezing cold when it touches me.
It's like icicles.
What about outside?
Outside is a totally different story.
Normally I don't go out after sunset.
Big guy like you?
There's just stuff out there that I don't know,
and I don't like feeling like I'm being watched.
There were bad things around.
It was, like, outside.
What's happening outside?
All I know is that it's not right.
I hear the word "Satan."
Satan. Satan..
So, Joel, why are we out here?
I've been grabbed in the driveway, literally, like, forcibly grabbed.
And at the same time it happened uh, it sounded like somebody was saying
"hey" really loud.
Has anything else happened to you over here?
There's been a couple times that I've come out here,
and if you look by where those trees are at,
you'll see, like, a full-bodied person standing there.
What time of the day you seeing it?
Right as the sun starts to go down.
You'll see 'em up in the trees.
- In the trees? - Yeah.
And you can actually see them looking down on you.
I'm trying to figure out what's going on.
There's, like, people in the trees?
A lot of people in the trees.
Was this something that happened in the past, or is this happening now?
I don't know.
Describe 'em for me.
You don't ever see the whole, entire, like..
A human body, three-dimensional. It's only two-dimensional.
You just see the front side, or you see the back side.
So like a cutout.
Yeah, it's kind of like a cardboard cutout of a human body.
Okay.
They do look weird.
What do they look like?
Like if you drew them on a piece of paper and then just cut it out.
But they're like white paper cutouts?
Like paper, paper white.
And they're, like, jumping from tree to tree to tree to tree to tree.
Um..
And there's, like, yelling and hollering.
Do you see the facial features at all?
If they get close enough, sometimes you can see, like, a white mist.
- Okay. - But you don't actually
see eyes or anything like that.
Okay, so you don't.. You're not seeing features.
No, I'm not actually seeing features.
What's your biggest concern?
I don't know what this stuff is,
and I don't know if it's gonna come in the house.
And they, hmm..
Like, make the trees shake and hit the house.
And they bang on the walls.
They knock at the door.. Things like that.
And they make noises.. Like, weird noises.
Why?
They just.. They don't like the people who live here.
They are disgusted.
I'm trying to figure out what's going on with the people in the trees.
There's, like, a celebration going on, but..
I don't think it's good.
They're completely white, like if you drew them on a piece of paper
and then just cut it out.
They just.. They don't like the people who live here.
They are disgusted.
Annie mentioned seeing an apparition of a guy in her dining room.
So I'm looking into the property's history.
And it turns out that the last resident was a man named Fermin Goforth.
He died in 2001, but I've still got questions that these records can't answer.
Well, Marlene uh, during my research, I understand
that you lived here with your husband?
- Yes. - Okay.
Fermin.
Now I saw in the records that he had passed away.
- Yes, he did. - I'm sorry for your loss.
Thank you.
Okay, did he die in the house?
Yes. He died may 22nd on our wedding anniversary.
I'm gonna ask you a bizarre question, and you're gonna think I'm crazy,
but did you ever experience seeing things in the woods
or in the house or anything like that?
Only on the night that my husband died.
I know that sounds crazy.
And I swear, that night when I went to bed..
He was over me in the bedroom.
And I swear I saw him.
And, like, he was making sure I was okay.
And then after that, I never saw him again.
Uh, someone wanted to be here.
I think it's just a dead guy.
Yeah, I think it's a dead guy.
As I walk around this location, I keep encountering the dead man I saw inside.
He has a strong attachment to this property
and seems to be searching for something or someone that's no longer here.
He died, uh, in.. At the property.
Or very, very, very close to here.
And he walks through the house.
He walks around in there.
But he is.. He's kind of a scary guy.
I don't like him.
During my research, I was able to find the original owner of Annie's property,
this guy named S.C. Inman.
Even though this was the 1800s, I've tracked down
one of his descendents, who still lives in the area.
And his wife is the family historian.
I'm hoping she can help me figure out what's going on.
So, Kathy, it turns out that your husband's ancestors
were the first settlers on the property I'm investigating.
- That's correct. - Okay.
I have a picture of them.
This is uh, Samuel Chelton Inman.
He, uh, came into Texas in 1844.
Did he die on the property?
I'm sure he must have.
Uh, there were no hospitals in the area.
Was there a home already there when they bought the property?
No, they built a home.
This is the homestead.. The old homestead.
And as you can tell, it's very small.
The family history was that he took in uh, homeless boys
and gave 'em room and board for.. In exchange for work.
And they all fit in this house?
I don't know how they did, but I guess they were on the floor.
So what else can you tell me about S. C. Inman?
He was a Deacon.
In the.. In the church, the first church in the area.
I'm hearing, like, a church, but it's a barn.
And, like, there's actually a lot of people.
They're busy.. Just busy doing stuff.
This was a long time ago.
- When would you.. - Like, 18..
Shoot.
1860s, 1870s.
You know, like, everybody was, like, sleeping, like..
On the ground and stuff.
Oh, there's sick people sometimes.
Uh, there's sermons sometimes.
I'm definitely getting, uh..
Lots of graves.
And again hearing cemetery.
Now what was it like in Texas back in those days?
It was very rough, very rough.
There were Indians, and there were outlaws.
There were a lot of bandits.
There was a massacre in the 1830s.
But it was a hard, hard life.
Right. So they had to deal with all the elements..
- Yes. - The outlaws, Indians.
Mm-hmm. Droughts.
- Right. - Very common in this area.
Well, it looks like they had a rough life.
Oh, yes.
I'm seeing, like, some guy digging a..
Digging a grave.
So who's the guy digging it?
Some little, skinny guy.
- Uh-huh. - He was, like, a preacher
or something like this.
Mm-hmm.
He definitely is not a pleasant person.
And, uh..
He killed him and buried him.
He was, like, a preacher or something like this.
Mm-hmm.
He.. He definitely is not a pleasant person.
And, uh..
He killed him and buried him.
I saw a skinny man kill another man, but I don't know why.
He was also digging a shallow grave for him.
Annie and Joel both say they're seeing dark shadow figures wearing hooded robes.
I'm on my way to meet with a local historian to see
if he can help me figure out who might fit that description
and why they're on Annie's property.
The place I'm investigating in Cedar Park,
I'm talking to the witnesses that live there,
and they're claiming to see people in robes and hoods.
Does that make any sense to you?
The only thing I can think about with robes..
There was some Ku Klux Klan activity
here in Williamson County back in the 1920s.
Like, seeing a..
Little old white house.
And, like, something with fire?
They burned it down. They did.
I don't know. I think those guys might've burned down a house.
As I do my walk, I'm able to see what the paper
people in the trees looked like when they were alive.
And they're showing themselves in white hooded robes.
I think they burned down a structure
that used to be here, and they want to do it again.
They're all white, probably, like, 10 to 20 of 'em.
And, like, this place might burn down.
The Klan was prevalent all over Texas, uh, in the early 1920s.
But it was particularly vicious here in Williamson County.
Uh, and in the Austin area, which, of course, is just South of here.
What kind of violent activity did the Klan do down here?
They would do anything short of murdering, and sometimes even murder.
I mean, they would, uh, tar and feather people.
They would beat people. The general goal was to get people out of the County.
They'd burn down their house. They'd burn down their church.
Uh, you know, anything to, uh..
To try to take control and, like I said..
Get rid of people that they thought were undesirable.
I get some uncomfortable gatherings.
What do you mean?
Probably like KKK.
I think they want to burn this house down.
They're talking about it.
Yeah, they really want to burn it down.
Mm-hmm, yeah.
Why do they want to do that?
Uh, because they don't like the people.
- The people? - They just.. They don't like them.
I know that.
And I think it might happen.
While I was uh, interviewing witnesses, they were talking about Indians.
Would that make sense in that area?
Oh, yes. This area's been occupied really for 10,000 years.
Those were pretty violent tribes back then.
Uh, they were violent among themselves.
I mean, they fought uh, the comanches fought the apaches.
Uh.. Uh, they had a long struggle for control of uh, this part of Texas.
A lot of Indian activity here in the Central Texas area
around the Cedar Park area..
A lot of brutality, a lot of death.
There were a lot of entities lurking around the property,
but the skinny man who was digging the grave
for the man he killed stood out above them all.
I saw a male, and he was very thin.
Okay.
Would you tell me about his eyes?
Very light eyes, very light eyebrows.
What's your impression of the rest of his face?
Thin lips.
His nose is very straight.
He was not pretty.
So, Amy, is this..
Is this the man you saw?
Yes.
During the course of our investigations, Amy and I have no contact whatsoever.
Now we're going to reveal our findings to Annie and Joel.
Now Annie's been living here for about ten years.
We're here because she's experiencing some pretty bizarre stuff.
Not only is she having experiences here, she feels she needs to be here.
Uh, she doesn't want to move.
She feels that she's drawn to this.. This property.
Joel considers Annie like a Mother to him.
He's a truck driver, but he can't go back on the road
till he finds out if it's okay for her to stay or not.
With that being said, uh, Amy, why don't you start telling us about your walk.
When I first got here..
I got that there were..
A lot of scattered bones.
And it was both, like, human and animal bones.
I kept hearing, um, "cemetery, cemetery, cemetery,"
like, over and over and over again.
So doing a background check on the property
that we're on, uh, I went back pretty far.
And Native Americans did inhabit this property.
The Native Americans hunted here.
They fished here. They lived here.
They also buried their dead here.
So when she mentioned about finding human bones, it didn't surprise me.
And Annie's been seeing apparitions of Native Americans.
I've seen them off and on the last ten years.
Amy, what else did you see?
When I entered the house, I was all of a sudden kind of inside..
Uh, of a woman and viewing what she was seeing.
And the woman was extremely angry um..
Because she was scared.
She was screaming and yelling and throwing things
at this thing that I saw through her eyes..
Which looked to be a shadow person.
Oh, boy.
If that's really what she saw, that's really..
Creepy.
Uh..
So you saw this in the dining room?
Yes, and it was actually a dead man.
He was a pretty stocky, kind of chubby..
Guy with the big, kind of chubby face.
That's my guy in the corner.
I've been seeing him since I moved into the house.
Did you know the previous people that lived here?
- No. - Okay.
The man that lived here before, his name was Fermin Goforth.
He loved this house.
His widow Marlene, when I spoke to her..
She said he died in the house.
And he died on their anniversary of all things.
Oh, Lord.
Okay.
That night when she went to bed, she saw him floating above her..
Oh, wow.
And not in his sick state, but the way he was.
This is him right here.
Yeah.
That's him.
Yeah.
That's him.
I see him in the dining room.
I'm sure it's terrifying for Annie seeing a dead man like this in her home.
But he's unaware that he's scaring her, and he poses no real harm.
What else?
I saw a building that's no longer here.
Um, and it was, like, a church.
1860s and 1870s is what I got.
They utilized it for, like, sermons and..
People were sleeping on the ground outside of it.
It was a church?
Yeah.
The first settler on your land here was a man named S.C. Inman.
He started the first church here, and he was a Deacon.
What he would do is take in orphaned boys and give 'em shelter
in exchange for working on the farm.
You see the size of the house.
- Yeah. - Whoa.
- Okay, you can't fit.. - No.
More than a couple people, so they had to sleep around it
I'm sure they were on the ground itself.
Wow.
- No wonder why there were so many of them. - Amazing.
Okay.
And here's a photo of S.C. Inman.
Joel, you had a really big reaction just now.
Yeah.
What's going through your mind?
I've seen that guy before.
- They look alike. - I've seen him.
You've seen him?
In the driveway.
Is that the guy that grabbed you?
Yeah.
I got touched..
Angrily and physically grabbed.
He pulled me forward, and all you could hear was, "hey!"
And just to talk about it right now has got me really unnerved..
Mm-hmm.
Because it's got me scared to the point where I don't come out here at night.
I've seen him, too, on my walk.
And I saw that he killed a man, and, uh, he was digging a grave.
So who's the guy digging it?
Some little, skinny guy..
He really really, really hated the big guy.
This guy was murdered.
Alright, you gotta understand something. This is back in the 1870s
when they settled here.
They were fighting off Indians, other settlers.
- Mm-hmm. - He's defending all his kids.
It was a very violent time.
- Right. - This was the wild, wild west.
This is what it was here.
Right.
I got a good look at him, and he's the one I sketched.
Amy says she saw the same dead man that attacked Joel.
So if her sketch matches this photo,
it'll prove to Joel that what he saw was real.
I never know who it's gonna be.
So, this is the first time I'm gonna see it.
Oh, my gosh.
Wow.
Oh..
Wow.
Oh..
That's him.
Oh, my gosh.
Joel, you think it's him?
Yeah.
The picture to me, just made me feel like..
Like I just knew it was him.
Okay, so, uh, what else did you encounter?
The next thing that I saw was all of these people in the trees,
and they looked like paper cutouts.
If you draw a person on white paper..
And then cut it all out.
They're, like, jumping from tree to tree to tree to tree to tree.
And they make noises.. Like, weird noises.
This is crazy.
I know it's really bizarre. I know it's strange.
- And they were like.. - No.
Oh, okay.
This is nuts.
- You just described exactly.. - Exactly what I've been..
- Really? - Exactly.
I mean, you couldn't get more to a "T"
what I see.
You just confirmed I'm not crazy.
Literally, I see exactly what you just described.
I mean like how..
Have you ever seen what you saw..
- Before like that? - No.
Because it was tough for him to explain it.
- And then he used those exact words. - It is. It's really hard..
Really hard to explain.
- What they.. Yeah. - How do you describe it to someone?
Exactly.
So I did see them for a moment uh, when they were just regular people-looking.
Mm-hmm.
And there was a bonfire that wasn't good.
They were all dressed in white.
That's weird.
1920s, the Klan was really powerful down here..
Yep.
Right where we are. They burned down churches.
They would actually tar and feather.
- Huh? - What?
Everything you'd think the Klan would do, they did.
That's how powerful they were.
Really?
I did see them burning a house down.
I did get the distinct impression that they would like to burn your house down..
The reason being they're disgusted by you.
Could the fact that I did a lot of civil rights work..
- Yes. - In the '60s have anything..
Yeah, they probably are really repulsed by that.
How would they do it?
They'll make it look like an accident, so, like, shorting out wiring.
You've been having electrical problems. She had a light bulb burst
over the kitchen.
Out of nowhere, for no reason.
I know that they can go into the house,
but they were telling me that they couldn't,
because they were just so repulsed.
Good.
When I first saw the paper people, I was confused.
But now it's clear to me that this is the form
the Klan members took after their deaths.
They still haunt this place, and I believe they're just as hateful
and destructive in death as they were in life.
The big question is, is it safe for you to be here?
I can't answer that, but Amy can.
I would probably move.
The reason is because there is so much here.
Then you have the KKK.
And it's so many people..
That they may accomplish their mission..
Which frightens me for you.
So our investigation went well, and I hope
we gave you the answers you were looking for.
I know it was a hard answer.
Uh, but are you gonna move?
Yes, absolutely gonna move.
- I'm taking her advice. - Okay.
She's had this unnatural pull to this place, and it really disturbed me.
So if she separates from this place,
- her health will get a lot better? - Her health will probably improve.
Yes. Mm-hmm.
I really hope that Annie and Joel follow through with their plans to move out.
If not, I'm afraid that all of the entities
inhabiting their property could put them in serious danger.
