Oh, boy. It's a demon!
And I looked up, and there was an apparition of an old man.
She's not good, and the person has, like, nightmares.
He laid down on his bed and he shot himself in the chest.
So I think he's insane.
I saw a dark figure with red eyes.
They're probably gonna die.
The people who live here need help.
This seems like a possession.
My name is Amy Allan.
Everything was built on blood.
I see dead people. Very disturbing.
I speak to dead people.
There's victims around him.
Ow. And they speak to me.
Her voice sounds like death.
But there's only one way to know if my findings are real.
The living don't stand a chance here.
I rely on my partner.
I'm Steve Di Schiavi.
I'm a retired New York City homicide detective.
You could have got killed.
I know every person, every house has secrets.
This is coming straight from hell.
It's my job to reveal them.
Your mom was murdered right here in this room. Yes, she was.
But Steve and I never speak...
We never communicate during an investigation.
...until the very end.
This was just the beginning.
When we uncover if it's safe for you to stay...
Oh, my god.
Or time to get out.
They're very bad.
This house is trying to kill me.
I'm in the small town of Ripley, West Virginia.
It's about an hour north of Charleston.
I got a call from a guy named Scott
who is a father of three.
Now, he told me activity in the house is violent
and out of control.
And he's worried one of the kids are going to get seriously hurt.
I really hope Amy and I can help this guy out.
Before Amy arrives, I clear the home of anything
that might influence her findings.
Religious icons, family photos, and personal items
must be covered or removed.
When I'm finished,
the location will be ready for tonight's walk.
What the hell?
Is there a demon here?
Ooh, boy.
I'm seeing a tall guy who looks like a devil.
What is it doing?
Causing havoc.
He's got a lot of little demons running around.
The living here have interactions with the devil,
and the people who live here need help
because of the crazy that's going on.
When we spoke on the phone, you sounded really desperate.
What the hell's going on here?
There's something evil, something paranormal.
I mean, it's causing problems.
It's attacking my wife and my kids, and I need help.
One of the reasons I took the case is because of the kids.
Who exactly lives in the house?
Donovan, Kayden, my wife Wendy, me, and Lacey.
How long have you guys been living here?
About a year and a half.
We moved here because where we came from
was a bad neighborhood.
And then we came here hoping this was going to be a home.
But it's not a home.
Did you notice activity right away?
No. Six months after we moved in,
the neighbor's house burned clear to the ground.
That's when the activity started.
Was anybody hurt in that fire?
No, nobody was hurt,
but I feel that something dark was awakened.
Do me a favor and give me a list
of what you guys are experiencing.
We've heard noises, heard voices.
We've seen apparitions.
We've seen shadow figures.
and my wife and daughter's been attacked.
Now is everybody in the house being affected?
Yeah, they're getting the physical.
And my oldest son, Donovan, he's getting more of the emotional.
What do you mean, emotional?
I mean, what was he like before you moved in here?
Laughing, joking, happy.
Right. So what happened?
A change overnight. I mean,
it just went from straight to, like, no communication.
Trying to shove everybody out.
Did anything happen in his life?
Did he break up with a girlfriend?
I don't know.
He's even kept things from us.
It's scary. It really is.
All right, so what makes you think that's paranormal?
Because it seems like it's controlling him.
It's like he doesn't want to leave the house.
He doesn't want to leave the room.
So if you take him away from the house, what happens?
He wants to go back home to his room.
- Has he seen a doctor? - Yes.
- What's the doctor say? - They're not really sure.
But there's nothing they can do.
If anything ever happened to my kids,
I couldn't live with myself. I could live.
Well, I gotta ask you, Scott.
I mean, why don't you just pack up and leave?
- I mean... - We thought about it.
Scared it's going to follow us.
I'm scared it's gonna cause more damage.
It's weird.
I'm seeing the tall devil guy again,
but now he's dressed like a Catholic priest.
He's like, "Don't go any further."
And he shows me that the people put a barrier over their house.
He burrows into the ground, goes under the fence
and pops up inside.
And he goes, "Ha ha!
They can't keep me out, and neither can you."
So there's no hallowed ground here.
This is where the fire was, right?
Yes. Yes, it was.
You weren't kidding when you said
it burnt down to the ground.
Oh, man, it burned clear down.
All right, Scott, so what kind of experiences have you had?
Well, I got woken up from a sound of a gunshot.
Okay, this is West Virginia. I mean, there's guns everywhere.
How sure are you that it didn't come from outside?
I could actually feel the concussion.
- You keep guns in the house? - No, I do not.
I thought maybe Donovan might have shot his self.
I was terrified.
Okay, so now you've realized it's not Donovan.
What the hell do you think it was?
The neighbor told me that a previous owner
done suicide in the house in the '90s.
- Really? - Yes.
All right. I'll have to definitely check that out.
Anything else?
I just hear bangs and knocks throughout the house.
Can you describe the sounds?
It sounds like someone's, like, beating on the wall.
And sometimes it sounds like silverware
dropping into the sink.
It's a pretty old house. You're sure it's not the plumbing?
- I don't think it is. - Have you ever had it checked?
No, I have not.
Anything else?
I was out here in the backyard and I heard three knocks.
And I looked up and there was an apparition of an old man
that was looking through the window there.
- He had, like, peppered hair. - Okay.
Older-like man, and his nose right here was wide.
- Okay. - A little bit wide.
Skinny, slim guy. Tall.
- Did he seem solid to you? - Oh, yes.
It's just like me looking at you right now.
There's elderly people here.
So there's two men and two women who are old.
80s, 90s.
One couple definitely lived here.
I'm not sure about that other couple exactly.
They walk the halls.
The living would hear that.
What do you think whatever's here wants?
I think it's wanting us out.
But if I have to go, I'll go.
For my kids' safety, you know, I'm out of here.
This is probably bothering you
a lot more than you're letting on.
It is.
I don't want to show my kids if I break down and cry.
I want to stand strong.
My first priority is to keep my family safe.
I want them to know that they're protected as much as they can.
And what the hell do you think is here?
I'm not sure what it is, but I know it's evil.
And it's not human.
Oh, boy.
Something is going on in the closet.
I think he comes from up there.
Is the person in here having experiences with this devil?
Probably. It definitely hangs out in that closet a lot.
Do people see it? Do the living see it?
Yeah. Like Satan,
but he's dressed still in the priest outfit.
This is, like, chaos in here.
Chaos.
So, Lacey, how old are you?
I'm 10.
Daddy told me that you were afraid to be alone.
- Is that right? - Yeah.
Why?
I feel like something's watching me in the closet,
and the closet door opens.
I got so scared that I'm sleeping with my mom now.
Now have you seen or heard anything else that's scared you?
In my mom's room, I saw a dark figure with red eyes.
Then I started crying and I wouldn't quit
until my brother told me it's okay.
And what did you think it was, honey?
I really couldn't tell.
All right, so what else is going on?
I have nightmares.
Okay. Do you remember the nightmares,
what they're about?
No. Mom said that I was in my room
and I was crying in the middle of the night,
and I didn't -- I don't remember that.
It sounds like you're having a tough time here.
Anything else?
About a week ago, I had a burning on my chest,
so I looked down and there was three scratches.
Lacey, do you have any idea
what might have caused that to happen?
- No idea. - Okay.
Do you want to stay here or do you want to move away?
Move away.
So the devil guy is beating on somebody.
Smacking someone on the back of the head.
She's freaking out.
And then he is beating on this child,
so I think this person has nightmares.
He's just torturing the [bleep] out of this person.
He's insane.
So, Donovan, how old are you?
15.
Your father seems to think
that something in this house is affecting you.
- You agree with him? - Mm-hmm.
I feel like it's controlling me.
It's like my mind goes completely blurry.
I black out, and then it's like something else just takes over.
I just feel hopeless.
Your father was telling me your personality has changed
and you don't like leaving your room. Is that true?
Yeah. If I leave, it feels like I'm out of place.
It feels like I'm complete in here.
Like, all my worries go away.
Besides the personality changes,
what about experiences with the paranormal?
I'm seeing this dark figure that walks in my room.
He'll pace from the hallway to this wall.
Okay, so what's it look like?
Like a shadow.
And what do you think it is?
I think it's something evil.
I think it's demonic.
You taking any drugs and not telling anybody here?
- No. - Don't [bleep] me.
- I'm serious. - No.
Okay.
I see a younger boy.
And this is weird because he's, like, organically a witch.
Can you elaborate on what you mean?
People who automatically how to do things that witches do,
like protecting yourself.
Is this something he's doing intentionally?
No.
He does not know what he's doing.
So if he's protecting himself, does that mean
he doesn't have any experiences?
No, no, no, no, no.
Just because someone's protected
doesn't mean that they're bulletproof.
What sort of experiences would they have?
Things get through,
and the person has, like, nightmares.
What's causing that?
This is the devil priest guy.
The kid sometimes gets scared, but doesn't know how bad it is.
I mean, is this something that could be dangerous for him?
Yes. It's a demon!
So, Wendy, I was talking to your husband,
and it sounds like things got crazy here.
- And you agree with that? - Yeah.
I spoke to Donovan. You gotta be worried about him.
Yes.
Have you ever seen him have an experience?
Yes.
He came into the kitchen, his eyes was black.
Immediately went to his room,
started crying and said, "Make it stop."
What do you think is going on?
I don't know. It's like he's -- Somebody's in him.
I don't know how else to explain it.
It was not my son.
That's got to be hard on you as a mom.
Yeah.
So you think whatever is here is influencing him?
Yes.
What experiences have you been going through?
Around 3:00 in the morning,
I woke up to a man screaming in my face.
What did he say?
"Get up. What the [bleep] are you doing sleeping?"
I immediately jumped out of bed.
And you're sure you weren't dreaming? Mm-hmm.
Was it a voice you recognized?
No. It was just a deep voice.
- Okay. - A deep man's voice.
It scared me to death.
I didn't sleep the rest of the night.
There's a dead kid here.
He is a bad, bad, evil child.
The living here have interactions with the child,
and he's, like, slithering along the walls.
The living would see him in the hall
and they would hear him and they would feel him.
They would feel like they're being inappropriately watched.
When he's stalking the living,
will turn into this creepy old man
with, like, a stretched face.
Like, super deformed.
He is a threat, this old, old man.
The old couples that are here don't like him.
He used the elderly people when they were alive,
but now he needs new victims,
new living people to feed off of.
He gets them when they're sleeping in their beds at night.
How the hell are you sleeping at night
with all this stuff that's going on?
Not very good. I have nightmares all the time.
What kind of nightmares?
Like I'm trying to protect my kids, and they don't want it.
All right. Anything else?
Since we've moved in,
I've constantly felt like I'm tired all the time.
No matter how much sleep I get, I'm still sleepy and drained.
Everybody feels tired when they wake up.
I mean, why is it different for you?
Mine's all day, every day,
like I haven't slept for weeks.
Now, are you on any medication that might make you tired?
- No. - All right,
so what do you think caused that feeling?
I think it was the house.
Do you think whatever's here is dangerous? Yes.
Scratching my daughter, Donovan going through everything...
Someone's gonna get hurt bad.
It scares me every day.
- How you holding it together? - By a thread now.
It's tough when you don't know what to do or how to help.
Person in here is being assaulted
by the elderly child man.
This is a living woman.
What exactly is he doing to her?
The child old man is sucking her energy out of her.
How does that affect her?
It feels like choking,
something standing on her chest,
can't catch her breath,
gagging, coughing.
So this person is sick.
They're getting sicker and sicker and sicker.
This person is probably a physical medium,
but they're not open to their abilities right now
because they're sick.
He's trying to kill them.
They're probably gonna die.
Most of the time, my clients don't know anything
about the history of their property.
But in this case, Scott thinks there was a suicide
that took place right in his house.
So I had a local PI look into it for me.
He says not only is it true,
but it's also one of the saddest things to happen to this town
in over a half a century.
What can you tell me about this guy that committed suicide?
His name was Robert Lucas, born in 1927.
Mr. Lucas was 60 years old
when he bought your client's house in 1987.
Did you find out anything about his life
that could explain why he killed himself?
Well, Lucas married his first wife.
Her name was Joyce Cameron.
In 1952, she died at age 45 of throat cancer.
And here's the death certificate for Joyce.
She died in 1978.
- Does he remarry? - Yep.
About 10 years later, he marries his second wife.
Her name is Stella.
She was 33 years old.
He was 60.
Okay.
Shortly after Lucas married his second wife,
they moved into your client's home.
All right, so now he's married to a much younger woman.
- How's it go? - Not so well.
And after 5 years of marriage, Stella left him.
All right, so he's basically at my client's house alone.
Yes. I think about 5 months after she left,
he committed suicide.
All right. So how does he kill himself?
The morning of January 5, 1993,
he goes back into his bedroom.
He laid down in his bed and he shot himself in the chest.
- In the chest? - Yes.
That's usually rare for a man to do that.
And that was the official cause of death?
Yes, gunshot wound to the thorax.
It's here on his death certificate.
Okay.
It looks like the heartache finally got to him.
Yes.
I, like, feel really horrible.
Sick and dizzy and...
bad. Like, not good.
It's weird. It feels like somebody died in here.
Feels like death and horrible, ill sickness.
Very bad.
I think I'm feeling the death of the evil little kid
who can transform into the creepy old man.
And the boy did live here
at some point.
But he lived to be old.
He shows himself when he was little and he was, like, 5.
And that was, like, in the 1920s.
I don't think he died until, like, the 1980s
or, like, the 1990s.
One thing keeps nagging at me.
Everyone in the house is complaining about
banging and clanking sounds.
Of course, they think it's the paranormal.
But the house is old and I think it could just be bad plumbing.
I'm headed back to Scott's property to meet a plumber
who's going to give the place a full inspection.
- How you doing, Landon? - Good. How are you doing?
Good, good. Thanks for meeting me. I appreciate that.
So this is the deal.
My clients here are complaining
about banging and clanking in the walls.
Now, in your experience, have you come across
pipes making those kinds of noises?
Okay. So if you could, do me a favor
and see if the pipes can be making those noises?
- Okay. We can do it. - Okay.
- I'll get my tool bag. - Okay, great.
With all the strange sounds
Scott and his family are hearing,
I know I have to rule out the obvious first.
And if there isn't a physical explanation...
...our only hope for answers will have to come from Amy.
- What'd you find? - Nothing.
Okay, so nothing you saw could explain
the noises the clients are hearing?
- No, sir. - All right.
Well, I appreciate your hard work.
- Thank you so much. - Yeah, you're welcome.
The kid, he's creepy.
I asked him if he haunted the place, and he laughed at me.
He's the reason those old dead couples are trapped here.
And they, like, bump into the walls
because their minds are gone.
The living people would hear that.
So they'd hear, like, people walking into the walls.
This kid, he's not good.
I don't like him.

So far, I've got a family living in fear
on a property where a previous owner
committed suicide in the house.
But I want to see if there's anything else.
Searching through old records, I come across
another former property owner named Henry Pfost.
Turns out Henry's mother was one of the victims
of a brutal triple homicide
right near Scott and Wendy's house.
I'm headed out to meet my old buddy Jim Casto,
who looked into this case for me.
Now he says this was the bloodiest homicide
in this town's history.
And when it came time for justice to be served,
people traveled from miles around to see it.
Jim, thanks for meeting me again. I appreciate that.
Now I know one of the victims
of this homicide was the mother of Henry Pfost,
who owned my client's property.
What do you know about this woman?
In 1891, Henry's mother, Chloe,
adopted a 16-year-old orphan boy
by the name of John Morgan.
She treated him as if he were her own son.
And her other children -- James, Matilda, and Alice --
also looked on him as simply their other brother.
- They raised him for 6 years. - Okay.
Then he got married, got his own place nearby.
But he still frequently was a visitor at the home.
Okay, so walk me through the murder. What happened?
Well, Morgan had learned that Chloe had sold a valuable horse
for a tidy sum of money.
And so he arranged to visit the farm and stay the night.
Okay, I can see where this is going.
He clearly intended to lay his hands on that money.
The next morning Chloe's son, James,
went out early to feed the animals.
John Morgan followed him, took a pickax,
hit him several times in the head,
then grabbed a large rock
and crushed his skull with it.
He went into the house then, picked up a hatchet,
and attacked the two sisters.
Killed Matilda outright.
Gravely injured Alice.
At that point, he turned his attention to Chloe.
Broke down her bedroom door,
took his hatchet, and attacked her.
Eventually she made it out to the front porch,
where he hit her a fatal blow
and she collapsed in a pool of blood.
I see two males here.
I'm not exactly getting brothers,
but it's like brothers or something.
One's here and then gone, and then here and then gone.
One of them is not good. Bad, bad, bad.
I'm hearing a woman scream.
And I hear a man say,
"Shut up, bitch!"
And then I heard a nasty cracking,
like a mushy, wet sound.
And then she stops.
So obviously he killed her.
Okay, so we got three dead,
one daughter who survives, and our perp on the loose.
What happens next?
They made quick work of tracking down Morgan.
The authorities feared that Morgan might be lynched,
so they put him on trial the very next day.
The trial was quick, and it took the jury
just an hour to come back with a guilty verdict.
The headline on this newspaper article from the time
is "Swift Justice."
And that's certainly what was unfolding here.
So what happens next?
On December 16, they marched Morgan
from the jail to a gallows
that had been especially built for the occasion.
It was only 1,700 feet from the home you're investigating.
Really?
On the day of execution,
they had a crowd that was estimated at 10,000.
There was a circus-like atmosphere in town that day.
At 12:05, the trap door was sprung,
and Morgan fell to his death,
paid for his crimes.
I'm in a crowd of people, okay?
And it's pitch-black, and I can just feel bodies,
you know, up against me.
And I know there's a crowd. There's a bunch of people there.
I don't know what the [bleep] was going on.
And I'm hearing men and women screaming.
There's panic and chaos, and it's pitch-black,
and then it feels like I'm falling.
I'm falling in the darkness.
I saw several disturbing things on my walk,
but the evil kid who can transform into a creepy old man
had me the most concerned.
I was in a bedroom.
There was a person in the bed.
This elderly male,
he's attempting to suck the life force
out of the person's mouth and into his hands.
Amy, is this what you saw?
Yes, that's what I saw.
Now that Amy and I have completed our investigations,
we're ready to reveal our findings to each other
and our clients for the first time.
So, Amy, I'd like you to meet Scott and Wendy.
They moved into this house about a year and a half ago
with their three kids.
Got a photo of the kids here.
This is Donovan, who's 15,
Kayden, who's 12, and Lacey, who's 10.
For 6 months, they were fine here. Everything was good.
But then the next door neighbor's house
burnt down to the ground.
And since that day, activity has gotten violent
and out of control.
Wendy and the kids are being attacked,
and Scott thinks that nobody in the house is safe.
So now that Amy knows a little bit about you guys,
I'm going to ask her to describe her walk.
When I first got here,
I heard a woman.
She was screaming and freaking out.
And then I heard a male,
and he told her to "Shut up, bitch."
And then I heard, like, this mushy,
uh, cracking, wet sound.
I knew that he had, you know, killed her.
That's not a lot to go on, but you did say
that the man you thought killed the woman.
Correct.
Back in 1897, there was a brutal, brutal triple homicide
just down the road from here.
The victims were a woman named Chloe Pfost
and two of her kids.
- This is Chloe, the mother. - Huh.
And get this -- at the time of the murders,
one of her sons lived right on your land.
Now six years earlier, Chloe took in
a 16-year-old orphan named John Morgan.
This is John Morgan.
Now, the expert I talked to said Chloe treated Morgan like a son.
Now Morgan grew up and moved off the property.
In November of 1897,
Chloe sold a high-priced horse for some money.
It seems like John Morgan heard about it,
and he came here that night hoping to rob the family.
He didn't get away with any money,
but he did kill three of the four people in the house.
Now, he started out by killing Chloe's son, James,
with a pickax and a rock.
Then he went inside and attacked the two sisters.
Matilda died right away,
and he thought he killed Alice, but she actually escaped.
The expert I talked to said
that Chloe was the last to get killed.
He basically grabbed her,
hit her in the head with a hatchet,
and left her for dead in a pool of blood on the front porch.
He was convicted of the murders and sentenced to hang.
They built the gallows 1,700 feet from here.
Over 10,000 people showed up to watch the guy hang.
Just after noon, on December 16, 1897,
trap door opened and this guy fell to his death.
You think this homicide is what you were picking up on?
Yeah.
She looks very, very much like the woman who was screaming.
Okay, so what else did you see on your walk?
When I went in the back bedroom, by the bathroom...
Okay, that's where Donovan sleeps.
I saw a young, living male,
and I got that he's an organic witch.
Now what that means is that typically
it's an individual who has abilities.
So he unconsciously is able to protect himself.
He puts up a protective wall in his room.
The only problem is, is that he is young,
and even if you protect yourself,
you're not bulletproof.
You are still open to random attacks.
Probably seems like a good time to tell you
that Donovan is one of the main reasons we were called in.
- Okay. - You know, Wendy,
why don't you tell Amy a little bit about Donovan?
He all of a sudden just started acting funny.
He's came into the kitchen
and his pupils was fully dilated.
He turned around, walked back to his room,
and just started crying and says, "Make it stop."
Now, Scott, tell Amy how he doesn't want to leave that room.
We go out to leave or anything, it irritates him.
I mean, it doesn't matter where we go.
He's gotta come back.
And once he's in that room, he says he feels more secure.
Has he had any rage episodes or anything like that?
He could be fine.
The next thing you know, he'll snap at you.
Like, jump at you.
And that's not my son.
None of that is unusual for somebody with abilities.
Well it runs through your family.
Okay, so what else?
I was in that room.
Now that's Lacey's room.
I met this individual,
and he was walking towards me and he was a priest.
Then he turned into, like, a stereotypical Satan character.
I figured out, finally, that he's some kind of a demon.
He is extremely active in that room
because he likes to torture her.
He is always watching.
So I think the living would obviously feel watched.
He gives her nightmares.
I saw lots of screaming with her.
One of the things I saw him doing
was trying to smack her on the back of the head.
Well, there's a lot going on in Lacey's room
that we need to talk about.
Scott, why don't you tell her how Lacey feels
like she has a presence in her room?
She keeps saying somebody is watching her.
Like they don't want her in there.
Now, she mentioned nightmares.
Lacey's had several nightmares, yeah.
I've caught her crying in her sleep.
And she sit up in the middle of the bed
in the middle of the night
and she just starts screaming in her sleep.
Wendy, you've had nightmares too, right?
I was deep sleep one night.
Get woke up to a man screaming in my ear.
He says, "Get up!
What the [bleep] are you doing sleeping?"
Mm-hmm.
The other thing that got me worried was
the scratches.
- Yes. - Tell Amy what happened.
She was taking a shower.
She came out and she says she felt a burning on her...
across her chest here.
And you pulled her shirt and there was scratches, like,
from here that just went up.
I actually have a photo of it.
- Mm. - This is the scratches.
Okay.
Okay, so now all the experiences that she's having,
or had in that bedroom, is from this devil guy.
Yes. He likes to torture her.
The next dead person I met has me very concerned.
There's an elderly man and, initially when I met him,
he presented as a child about 5 years of age.
And he is a very substantial problem here.
He flips back and forth between being this 5-year-old child,
which apparently he was that age in the '20s,
and turning into a very elderly male
who, I think, died in the 1980s or the 1990s.
And it was indicated to me that he had lived here
at some point in time.
That's really not a lot to go on either.
One guy came up in my research that stands out.
His name was Robert Lucas,
and he bought this house in 1987.
I have a photo of him here.
Now you said the guy you saw was 5 years old in the 1920s?
Lucas here was born in 1927, so he would have been 5
in the early '30s, which is pretty close.
Yeah. Lucas here went through a messy divorce
5 years after moving in here.
After that, he fell into a deep depression.
Now you said the guy died in the '80s or '90s.
Well, get this.
On January 5, 1993, he laid down in his bed,
put a pistol to his chest, and shot himself.
I've got his death certificate right here.
And he died in this house?
Right in their bedroom.
Now you think Lucas is the guy you probably saw?
Yes, I do.
One of the things that really creeped me out
was his movements along the hallway.
I would assume that, at times, you guys would hear this.
I've gotten woken up in the middle of the night
with knocking on the walls.
Oh, Scott, you've heard it too, right?
Yes, I have. I've heard knocking.
When Scott and Wendy told me they were hearing these things,
I thought it sounded like
they could have rusty pipes or bad plumbing.
So I had a plumber come in to check the place out.
Mm-hmm.
And he said no way it could be that.
This guy do anything else?
I thought maybe you would see him because he's solid.
He stretches and turns his face,
where he looks not human, really.
He has a hunch.
It's extremely disturbing.
Now he and Lacey have both seen an old man.
He's got, like, peppered hair.
His nose is wider and his ears,
they're kind of sticking out a little bit.
The thing that he causes living people to experience
is trouble breathing,
feeling like they're being choked,
and he does this because he's a psychic vampire.
People who are psychic vampires will often feed off
of the living energy of people around them.
Okay? And unfortunately it makes
everybody around them kind of sick.
Wendy, do me a favor.
Explain to Amy exactly how you feel when you're drained.
It's like I've never slept.
Sick to my stomach constantly.
I wake up in the middle of the night
and it's hard to breathe.
I just don't feel like myself at all.
Now is this something that this old guy could be doing?
Yes. Absolutely, yes.
So the person who is getting attacked the most
by this elderly man
is the person in that back bedroom.
That's Wendy and Scott's bedroom.
I had a sketch done of what I saw
and what he was doing in that room.
Oh,.
No!
- Wow. - Mm-hmm.
This may explain a lot why you're not feeling well.
Oh, my god.
I would like to put my hands around it.
Just can't.
I was concerned over the kids.
I didn't think that was coming after me.
That's a nightmare.
Worse than a nightmare.
Any reason why he's picking on Wendy?
I mean, I know that you have abilities.
It's easier for these things to latch onto sensitives.
My concern right now is that Wendy would die.
Heart attack, sudden death.
Well, Scott, Wendy, you were worried
it wasn't safe here for you and the kids.
And you were 100% right.
But we haven't answered the big question.
Is it fixable?
Can you stay here safely, or do you have to pack up
and get the hell out of here before it's too late?
For that answer, I'm going to turn it over to Amy.
There's a lot you have to do,
so I first want to deal with the demon.
There is a twofold process.
The first thing is, go and find a Catholic priest.
What you need this Catholic priest to do
is to come to your home
when you guys are not here and do a home blessing.
The second thing is that this priest
has to leave blessed crosses
in every single room of this home.
The blessing is going to get rid of that demon,
and the crosses are going to prevent
any of those others from coming in here.
So the second thing is the old man.
You have an elderly dead lunatic that needs to be removed.
Get a very physically intimidating male
who's a medium
who is also in very good health.
This guy is going to come here
to engage and remove this elderly man.
Now how soon will she start feeling better
once Lucas is gone?
Physically, you'll begin to feel 100% better.
As for Donovan, typically when they're teenagers,
all of their abilities, like, really become heightened.
If you go out, say, to a busy place,
it's going to literally overwhelm your senses.
That's what your son is experiencing.
That made me understand a lot
why Donovan stays in his room now.
He might always kind of be like that,
but I think he should go and see a clinical psychologist
or a psychiatrist
to help him work through all of his thoughts and emotions.
Yes, definitely.
So to be clear, the house burning down next door
had nothing to do with what these guys are going through?
No.
The question I'll always ask is,
are you going to take her advice?
Yes. I want it gone.
Hearing this and knowing this could be done,
it's going to help take care of the problem, I'm glad,
'cause I can't lose my wife or my kids.
I can't do that.
Listen, I don't care if I have to do a million things.
You know, you gave us what we wanted.
We can have our life back.
I really hope Wendy and Scott follow my advice
and contact a priest and a medium to remove the dead
and the demon terrorizing their family.
Once they're gone, they'll all be safe,
and this family will find the peace it's been looking for.
