I heard him say, "These are my killing fields."
Somebody bashed her face in.
He had a vision that he killed me.
It scares the hell out of me. It scares the hell out of her.
Yeah, it does.
He just really likes fire.
- Well, he screamed a lot. - So they tortured this poor guy.
How do I know he's not gonna
be hovering over my bed with a knife?
He can make people kill themselves
or kill other people.
Panic, panic, panic.
My name is Amy Allan.
I'm seeing, like, blood.
The house just feels bad.
I see dead people.
This man is completely insane.
I speak to dead people...
Whoo. Okay. She doesn't like it in there.
...and they speak to me.
He likes to twist that knife.
But there's only one way to know if my findings are real.
Something paranormal is trying to kill them.
I rely on my partner.
I'm Steve DiSchiavi.
I'm a retired New York City homicide detective.
Now does he die right there, on the spot?
I know every person, every house has secrets.
I think it's trying to steal my soul.
It's my job to reveal them.
You ever get touched like that again?
But Steve and I never speak...
We never communicate during an investigation.
...until the very end.
I'm as stunned as you guys are.
When we uncover if it's safe for you to stay...
I don't want anything to happen to my daughter.
Or time to get out.
His goal is to kill you guys.
I'm in Wymore, Nebraska.
It's a small farm town about an hour south of Lincoln.
I got a call from a woman named Shannon.
Now she says the activity in her house
is violent and out of control.
And get this -- she also thinks whatever's in there
is possessing her husband.
And if we can't help,
she doesn't think her marriage will survive.
Before Amy arrives,
I clear the house of any leading information.
Photographs, historical items,
even furniture can influence her findings,
so it's important I cover or remove them all.
When I'm finished,
the location will be ready for tonight's walk.
There's a deceased girl.
Looks to me like somebody bashed her face in.
I heard there was darkness here.
I heard a male say, "These are my killing fields."
So, Shannon, when we spoke on the phone,
I can hear in your voice
that you're going through hell here.
What's going on?
I think there's something here,
pushing my husband and I away from each other,
tearing our marriage apart.
My husband's not the same.
Shannon, let me back it up.
Who exactly lives in the house now?
Keith, my husband, and I.
Now is this you guys on your wedding day?
- Yeah. - You make a nice couple.
So how long have you guys lived in the house?
Almost eight years.
So you've been here a while.
Did the activity start right away?
Yes, it was, like, an apparition on the stairs,
and then gradually got worse.
And over the last six months it's been intolerable.
And you think it's changing your husband. How?
He's not the man that I married.
The tone of his voice, his attitude,
everything about him, to me, has changed.
We don't speak, we don't sleep in the same room.
We don't really eat together.
What you're describing to me
sounds like husband and wife stuff.
What makes you think what's going on here
has anything to do with the paranormal?
Something bad has ahold of him.
Something is there, attached to him.
He had a dream or a vision that he killed me.
And he told you this?
I mean, his face was blank, his eyes were dark.
He was just yelling and screaming,
and he has no recollection of it at all.
- Why don't you guys just move? - I stayed for him.
Marriage is hard enough.
Yeah, but my marriage wasn't.
I've lost my best friend,
and I have nothing.
So most women would just walk away from this mess,
but the love you have for your husband sounds pretty deep.
It is.
I don't know how far it's gonna go,
how much harm it's gonna cause.
Can it influence him to kill me?
I don't need to state that I'm afraid of dying.
I'm afraid to be here.
Doesn't feel good in the kitchen.
I'm seeing an old lady in here.
Something wrong with her,
her esophagus, then she drops.
How'd she die?
More than likely a heart attack.
So would the living have any experiences with her?
So they might see a woman in here,
or they might feel the, like, a throat issue she had.
While she was dying, she was extremely sad.
The living would experience sadness in this area.
Okay, so what's going on in here?
I'll see faces come around the corner
right there by that kitchen door.
So you can see a little old lady, just the head.
Can you tell me what the old lady's face looked like?
Wrinkly. You can see her gray hair.
I mean, there's no reflection from the kitchen
that can do that, can it? - No.
- Okay, anything else? - Every once in a while,
you can hear footsteps going up and down the stairs.
As far as the footsteps go, how do you know
it's not your husband or maybe one of the pets?
Usually when I hear the footsteps, no one's home,
so Keith is usually gone, the animals are outside.
All right, so you're seeing faces, you got footsteps.
Anything else?
I went up these stairs.
It felt like something shoved me in my lower back.
So how hard a shove are we talking?
Pretty good shove.
Just, just -- okay, but it feels like a hand?
Yes, so I grab the rail and hang on to the wall
when I come down the stairs to this day.
Okay, anything else?
Seen a little girl on the landing right there,
an apparition of her. - How old do you think she is?
I'd say between 6 and 8.
You can see through her.
She'll just stand there, and then just disappear.
She has long hair. She's wearing a white frilly nightgown.
She hums, she giggles. I've never seen her face.
Okay, interesting.
I see two young females up here.
They're sisters. I don't know age.
Up here, they get more privacy.
Problem is, they, like, fight all the time,
so I think the living would hear a lot of yelling and arguing.
They would hear laughing, crying, stomping around.
So, Shannon, I assume this is your room.
Yes. Okay, so what's going on up here?
The closet opens and closes by itself.
Mainly, it closes by itself, like that.
Okay, so this happens while you're sleeping in bed?
Yes. Recently, the crack in the door
appeared out of nowhere.
So you didn't see that happen?
I did not see that happen at all.
You talk about Keith's rage.
You sure maybe he didn't come here and bash that door in?
Yes.
One of the girls from the attic
likes to come into this room.
I saw her in a corner, peeling old wallpaper off the wall.
I think the living would hear a scratching,
scratching, scratching, scratching.
Her fingers are bleeding from it.
She's in the closet, sits there and scratches.
She giggles a lot.
All right, so what else is going on?
I was physically held down in the bed.
So what did it feel like to you?
Something on my chest pushing me down
and just holding me down.
I literally could not gasp and get air.
- That had to freak you out. - It was very terrifying.
Okay, and anything else?
I tried to get up to go to the restroom,
and Keith was standing in my door.
He wasn't himself. He wouldn't let me by.
He had no recollection of nothing.
Now has he pulled any more crap like that?
Yes, as a matter of fact, when I'm sleeping,
I get this really eerie feeling, and I wake up,
and he's standing on the side of my bed
and just kind of hovering, looking at me.
Like, just staring at ya?
Yeah, and this is in the middle of the night.
- That's freaking creepy. - It is creepy.
That is the only word I can use to describe it.
That's not him.
Okay, I'm taking your word for it --
nobody cheated on nobody, none of this crap?
Nope. Think something in him is causing him to do this?
Yes, definitely.
If Amy tells you, "Listen, you gotta
get the hell outta here," what would you do?
If there's no way to fix this, I want out.
I want to be safe.
I'm seeing this dead guy,
and I think he's a trickster.
And it does bring nightmares.
He'll make a person dream about
somebody that they're friends with,
and that person's hurting them, turning on them,
trying to instill paranoia or distrust.
There's a lot of physical stuff going on.
Person in here is the one being strangled...
...smothered, held down.
So, Keith, I was talking to your wife earlier.
She's convinced that whatever's in the house has changed you.
- Do you agree with that at all? - Yes, absolutely.
Now she also told me that you have these episodes
where you kind of black out and scare her pretty bad,
and then don't remember it?
Yes, I don't know what I'm doing when that happens.
I don't. I have no idea.
So are you taking any medication
or anything like that, that would cause any of this?
Ibuprofen is the only thing I take.
I would never intentionally hurt my wife.
- You know, I love her so much. - Right.
Wouldn't happen. She's my best friend and my soul mate.
All I want is to make it work,
but it's bad enough I don't know if I can.
Well, this is the first step -- figuring out what the hell's
going on in this house. - Yep.
What about experiences? Have you had anything?
A lot of banging noises.
It sounds like a large shelf full of tools
falls on the floor and just crashes.
So I know you guys got dogs and cats.
You sure they're not running around out here making noises?
Yeah, they're not allowed out here.
- Okay, anything else? - Yeah, I'll see black mists.
They just form and then follow me around here.
And you can't see through it.
And then it dissipates and is gone.
I mean, you got a wood-burning stove here, right?
I see 'em winter and summer. I don't use this in the summer.
Okay, any problems with the electric?
- Nope. - That's strange.
Anything else?
Stuff goes missing out here all the time.
- Out of the garage? - Yes.
- Like what? - Nuts, bolts,
car parts, tools.
Shannon playing games with you?
Nope. I've asked her, you know,
if she was out here and moved something.
- That's gotta drive you insane. - It does.
I want this thing gone. I want it driven out.
I'll find some way to get rid of this.
I feel it. I feel that fear.
That trickster guy does come in this area.
He does move things out here.
Would the living be affected by this?
I think that they would experience things going missing
and also hearing noises, banging,
things like that out here.
The other thing is, somebody is seeing a black streak thing,
which I think is him.
This trickster thing is here.
The energy is always very hyper down here.
He was psychotic or schizophrenic.
I'm trying to find out.
He's crawling along the ceiling, but then he, like, fades,
so I think the living would see shadow people down here.
He'll growl, like a dog, to get people out of here.
So what's going on down here?
Growling.
What kind of growling we talking about?
Something that I've never heard before,
not animal, not human. - I know you got dogs,
but they don't sound like that, do they?
No, and they're outside.
- Had you ever heard it again? - No.
- All right, anything else? - I've been physically attacked.
What happened?
I was in the process of getting out of bed.
Something rushed up the stairs, knocked me back into bed,
and it just hit me several times.
- What was it? - It was a black mass.
Long, very long, muscular arms, kinda long, stringy black hair.
I couldn't really see a face.
Now were you ever able to stop the attack?
Two or three minutes in,
I was finally able to move my right arm.
I swung through, and it just dissipated.
Did this ever happen again?
Not that, but I got woke up being dragged out of bed,
down the stairs, and thrown on the living room floor.
This is something you see
in one of these freaking horror movies.
- Exactly. - After what you just described,
I'm afraid to ask if there's anything else.
One of the biggest things, um,
I have an issue with is mood swings.
So this is part of the personality change
we talked about before? - Yes.
Okay, so describe for me how it feels when these things happen.
Normally, I can feel it coming on.
It escalates very quickly.
When you say mood changes, what do you mean?
Sometimes anger, sometimes extreme depression.
It's like something flips a switch, and you have to fight
to get back out of it.
That scares the hell out of me.
Scares the hell out of her.
Yeah. Yeah, it does.
You know, and that makes me feel this big.
I can imagine. Why do you wanna stay?
I don't have anywhere where I can go.
I'm -- I'm backed into a corner here.
She's afraid of you, though.
I know. It's -- it's hard to take.
I don't know what to do.
I know. I know, it's tough.
It's obvious you love her.
It's all right. We're gonna try to make it better.
This trickster, there's been a lot of people here
who've been like him --
crazy, schizo, psycho, depressed.
That's why I'm asking him, "Are you, like, somehow
drawing mentally ill people to you?"
If there are mentally ill people,
he can then influence them,
so it's not good for people to live here.
There's something wrong with the living person in here.
I can't put my finger on it.
I think that they're unstable, they're mentally ill.
I feel like the person in here is the one
being strangled, smothered, held down.
They're having all these experiences.
Do you have any idea why this person in particular
is having these experience?
The illness takes over.
- Because of him. - Yes.
What would happen to this person to continue to be here
and be influenced by this guy?
Well, according to the trickster crazy guy,
he can make people kill themselves or kill other people.
You know, Wymore is a tiny city, not even 1,500 people.
So when I made my calls,
everyone knew Shannon and Keith's house.
I'm on my way to meet with a local genealogist
who says the original owners of the property
suffered from the moment they set foot on the land.
Well, Phyllis, I appreciate you helping me out with this case.
Now on the phone you mentioned the family suffered a lot
on my clients' property.
But before we get to all that,
who were they and when did they get here?
The first owner of your clients' property
was John D. Shock. - Okay.
He came from northern Ohio in 1868.
In 1869, he bought 165 acres of land
that included your clients' property.
What happened next?
Within five years he married a woman,
Susan Staveley, and they eventually had six children.
All right, so they're on my clients' property,
they started a family.
When did the suffering start?
In 1878, their middle daughter, Sarah,
came down with scarlet fever
and died within just a couple days.
Okay, so how old was she at the time?
2 years old.
And then four days later her older brother was 4,
and he came down with the same thing,
scarlet fever, and he died.
So within a week, they buried two children.
You're kidding? Within one week? What happened next?
They moved to the nearby town of Blue Springs,
which is just about a mile away.
- Okay. - So didn't move far,
but that's where where they lost two more children.
What happened?
Well, in 1883, Shock's 6-year-old daughter,
Ida Mae, she died mysteriously.
Okay, do we know why?
No, the death records are real sketchy back then,
and so we couldn't find a cause of death.
All right, so now we got three that are dead.
- What about the fourth? - Well, in 1889,
their 9-month-old baby, George, he died.
All right, so do we know how George died?
At that time, there was a lot of diphtheria
in the area affecting small children.
So the original owners of my clients' property
lost two girls and two boys from disease.
And, I mean, that's a lot for one family to go through.
Yeah, it is, and especially at such a young age.
They're buried in a cemetery
that's not far from your clients' property.
I'm seeing those two young sisters again.
One of them got sick and died.
I don't know what happened to the other one.
Any idea when they're from?
I'm hearing 1930s. Maybe this is earlier.
I wanna see if they actually go about the house.
One of the sisters is in here.
Can you describe her?
She has fine brown hair, bangs.
She's wearing a yellow dress, and I got the name Sue,
and I think she's insane.
She was unstable when she was alive.
Do you know if she has any kind of connection
to the property?
I think she lived here.
And she died here from an illness.
So far, I've got a client who believes
her husband's possessed, on a property
where one of the original owners lost four young children.
But I wanna see if there's anything else.
Searching through old records, I find that
Shannon and Keith's house used to be a funeral home.
Turns out, morticians prepared dead bodies right on site.
I'm headed over to meet a local historian
who says Shannon's house
was like Grand Central Station for dead bodies.
Well, Laureen, I want to thank you for meeting with me.
- I appreciate that. - My pleasure.
I know a guy used to use my clients' property
to run a funeral home. - Yes.
What do you know about this guy?
Actually, we have two undertakers
that lived in that house over the years.
Okay, so tell me about the first guy.
Well, the first person that owned it
was this man, Thomas F. Houston.
He bought it in 1906.
He owned the mortuary in downtown Wymore,
but in 1914, there was a huge fire...
...and that fire destroyed his business downtown.
Anybody die in this fire?
People were injured, but no one died.
All right, so what happens next?
He moved all of his business to his home.
Okay, so Houston is now running his funeral home
out of my clients' house.
- How long did he do that for? - Least a year.
In an average, how many people would have died within a year?
Easily, he could be handling more than
a couple hundred deaths a year. - Wow.
Now who was the second mortician?
Well, Houston sells it in 1917 to the next owner
of both the business and the property.
That's Edward Miller.
Part of the time when Mr. Miller owned the mortuary,
he also owned a furniture store.
Explain to me why a mortician would have a furniture business.
The people who made the furniture
also made the coffins.
I'm seeing 12 coffins,
and they all have crosses or crucifixes on them, okay?
So religion involved.
They're nice wood coffins, not cheap.
Interesting thing about the coffins
is that they're not buried.
What does that mean?
I'm thinking it's just the deaths associated
with this property.

So every single investigation I do with Amy,
I call the local cops,
and this time, it's paid off.
I'm driving over to meet a retired police chief
who says there was a bizarre case
near Shannon and Keith's house.
It started as a robbery and ended in torture and murder.
Well, Rick, I appreciate you helping me out with this case.
So what can you tell me about this homicide?
A 71-year-old bachelor named David Jones
was murdered in his home.
All right, what do we know about David?
Mr. Jones was a very successful farmer,
and apparently, rumors were that he kept
a lot of his money in cash in his house.
All right, so I can see where this is going.
So this guy's got cash, he's elderly.
Correct, and on March 18th of 1897,
these two gentlemen with masks on broke into his house.
They told him they wanted his cash.
- So did they get any cash? - No.
What they did was they ended up tying Mr. Jones
to the bed, and bound him, and eventually they took
some old rags, soaked them in coal oil,
and wrapped them around his feet, and then set it on fire.
So they lit this guy on fire?
Yes. Well he screamed a lot,
but he still claimed he didn't have money in the house.
So they put some soaked clothing on his stomach
and lit that on fire.
All right, so they tortured this poor guy.
Yes, they did. And finally, what they ended up
doing was putting a rag around his neck
and setting that on fire.
And then they left him for dead.
And this is an article about Davy Jones' death.
And this is pretty vicious.
Yes it is, it's the most horrendous kind of a case
I've ever even heard of.
All right, so, Rick, was anybody arrested and charged?
Actually, there were several people arrested and charged,
and they all had alibis, and finally a detective
in Lincoln, Nebraska, about five years later,
got information about a subject by the name of Fred Holds,
who was in a mental hospital in Lincoln, Nebraska.
This is an article about the initial arrest.
A detective interviewed him. He confessed to the murder.
He gets arrested and charged, and eventually he was released
because even doctors testified that he wasn't mentally sane.
All right, so it's still an open case? It's still an open case.
I am seeing that trickster dude.
Do you know when he's from?
1800s. I'd say 60s, 70s...
maybe into the 80s?
Before there were houses here, for sure.
So do you get anything on who he was in life?
Well, apparently he liked to set things on fire.
I think he burned some important things.
I think he just really likes fire.
I see him starting fires.
I think he killed somebody.
Okay, so is he causing all the deaths?
A gun, and then he's just showing me this murder.
I think he feels like he assisted in that situation.
How?
By influencing a guy who was crazy.
Would the living be affected by this?
He could influence them to the point
where they might commit homicide or suicide.
I saw a lot of dead people during my walk,
but two stood out.
First, the young sister
who was scratching the walls of the house.
Both hands, they were bleeding.
Her face is really damaged.
One of her eyes is, like, hanging out.
There's no lips left.
Next, I described the trickster
strangling the living person in the upstairs bedroom.
And this thing was easily 7-feet tall.
And it was kinda in the wall, and out of the wall.
The eyes, the were squiggly black lines
that just kept moving.
Amy, is that what you saw?
Yes.
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 Shannon and her husband Keith.
Both of them say they had a very happy marriage.
Here's a photo of them in a lot happier times.
But because of the violent paranormal activity
in this house, their relationship is hanging on a thread.
Now Shannon doesn't think it's safe here,
and if you can't find a way to fix it she's leaving,
with or without Keith.
So now that Amy knows a little bit about you guys,
I'm gonna ask her to describe her work for us.
Something I came across in this room was really bizarre,
and what I saw was 12 coffins.
They were like a nice wood.
They all had crosses on them.
The weird thing was, none of them were buried.
That made me believe they were deaths
that were related to this location.
Since we moved in, I felt like there was a body
buried on this property.
I think I have an idea what you might have seen.
Two different morticians actually lived on the property
over a 40-year span. - Wow.
First one was a guy named Thomas Houston.
He bought the property in 1906.
Now he had a formal office down in Wymore, in downtown.
But in 1914, there was a massive fire.
The fire destroyed most of downtown,
including Houston's business.
Pretty bad damage.
Fortunately, there was no fatalities.
Houston set up shop after the fire on this property,
and we know he worked here for at least a year.
So the expert I spoke to said that Houston
probably dealt with up to about 250 dead bodies
during that one year.
Houston sold the property in 1917 to another undertaker.
His name was Edward Miller.
In addition to running a funeral home in town,
Miller also ran a furniture business,
so it's pretty likely that Miller was building coffins
for all the dead people, preparing them for burial.
So do you think that could be why you saw all these coffins?
Yes.
The next thing that I got was two sisters.
Now these two are active here.
What I felt was that they lived here at some point,
maybe in the 1920s or 30s.
They looked pretty young, between 11 and 16 years of age.
And one of them, she doesn't look too good.
Got the name Sue with her.
She has damage on her head, a little bit on her face.
So I think the girl got sick and died here.
Not a lot to go on, but a couple of things you said
made me think of the original owners.
The original owner is a guy named John Schott
that built this property in 1869.
You mentioned the name Sue. Schott's wife's name was Susan.
Okay.
Now the two of them had six kids --
three boys and three girls.
In 1878, their 2-year-old daughter Sarah
came down with scarlet fever.
She died from the illness
within a couple of days after she got it.
To make matters worse, Schott's son died of the same disease
three or four days later.
The family wind up moving to a town called Blue Springs,
which is about a mile from here.
That's when they lost another daughter named Ida May,
who was 6 years old at the time,
but the death record doesn't show what she died of.
We can assume it was an illness.
Interesting.
Now you said these sisters are active.
- What do these kids do? - They're up in the attic.
That's where they're the most active,
yelling at each other, fighting,
so I think that the living would hear
yelling, screaming, stomping around up there.
Shannon, you told me about a little girl
you saw up here on the landing.
She was, like, between 6 and 8... Okay.
...and wore a white flow-y, like, nightgown,
and she just appears on occasion
and hums and giggles.
One in particular likes the large bedroom.
I saw her in the corner,
peeling old wallpaper off the wall.
She was in the closet.
She sits there and scratches.
The closet, it opens by itself.
It slams shut by itself.
And now it's cracked.
Could all this stuff be from the two little girls,
or the one girl, at least? - Yes.
I had a sketch done of what I saw.
Okay.
That's creepy.
Wow.
You can hear that in my closet.
I mean, it just sounds like
someone taking their nails down a chalkboard.
She was just showing me that to the point
where her bones are coming out of her fingers.
Scares the hell out of me.
So the person I am the most concerned with is a dead male.
He's extremely powerful
and has the ability to take on different images,
so he's behaving like a trickster and he's been
affecting and influencing living people here
for a very very long time.
I got that he lived on this land before there were any houses.
I think that he was either psychotic
or a sociopath, or possibly schizophrenic.
When he was alive, he was a pyromaniac.
He would set things on fire.
He actually did kill someone.
So, Amy, couple of things you mentioned
reminds me of a homicide that was pretty brutal
that I came across during my research.
Back in 1897,
a 71-year-old farmer by the name of David Jones
was basically attacked in his home
not far from where this house is.
A couple of guys wearing masks
broke into the guy's house, looking for money.
Now what they did do to him
was set him on fire three different times.
They wrapped rags in oil,
first around his feet, lit it on fire.
Then they put it on his stomach and lit that on fire.
Then they wrapped it around his neck and lit that on fire.
Even after all that,
Jones never told them where the money was,
and they left him for dead.
There was a big article on it here. Poor guy.
You mentioned about the crazy guy.
It was a guy that the cops locked up
who was in an insane asylum,
and he actually confessed to the murder.
The doctors said he was too insane to make a confession
so they just said, "All right, you gotta let him go."
So the murder charges were dropped.
To this day, the murder is still unsolved.
Holy...
You said you were worried about him.
What does this guy do?
There's quite a few ways that you would experience him.
First thing is that he always has
an excessive amount of energy.
He can actually move things physically.
I'll be working on a car. I know where all my tools are.
I go in, come out the next day, my tools are gone.
Okay. He is capable of making a lot of noise,
like crashes and bangs.
One of the other things that he does
is sometimes he'll growl,
and I heard it specifically in the basement.
Keith and I spoke about that. Tell her what you heard.
I've heard it a couple of times.
It's not an animal. It's not human.
I mean, it sounds like if you cross a cougar with a bear.
I believe if you see him you'd probably see black streaks,
like just a streak of black. You know what I'm saying?
And then possibly as a shadow figure.
You told me about mist that you see.
I've seen black mists,
anywhere between like a softball size
to little bit bigger than a basketball,
and then they'll just dissipate.
The other thing he likes to do is cause nightmares,
and those nightmares are to make you become paranoid
of somebody you care about
and to try to get you to turn on that person.
You know, Amy, Shannon told me
about a disturbing dream Keith had.
He said I had left him for my ex-husband,
and he killed me.
I woke up to him just getting out of bed as fast as he could
to run to the bathroom because he had to look in the mirror
because he told me he could taste my blood.
Do you remember that nightmare?
110%, like it happened, like I did it.
That's how vivid it was.
I've never had a nightmare that vivid in my life.
Okay, so now all this stuff that we're talking about,
is that all this trickster guy? - Yeah.
And what I saw specifically
was him strangling somebody upstairs.
I did have a sketch done of what I saw.
You're not gonna like this.
That's our room.
That's me.
You know, Amy,
Shannon's felt like she was held down in her bed.
I was completely compressed in the bed.
It was to the point of almost being unconscious.
Wow.
You told me something that happened to you
that, like, right out of a movie.
I started to get up out of bed.
A big black shadow runs up, tackled me back into the bed,
and just started swinging.
Beat hell out of me in bed.
Two, three weeks later,
I'm getting dragged down both flights of stairs
and pretty much getting thrown, like, right where this table is.
So is this all this guy?
Yeah.
He is a mad man.
He takes any weakness you might have and he exploits it.
And then, if you're mentally unstable
in any way, shape, or form, he can jump you
and kind of take over your mind,
which can change your mood and your behaviors.
So his ultimate goal, I felt,
was for him to affect people to either harm themselves
or better yet, harm another person or people
and then themselves.
Shannon, I think it's best you tell Amy
about what you think is happening with Keith.
I wake up, I'll have an eerie feeling.
He'll be hovering over my bed.
I've never seen his eyes black. I've never seen --
You know, he just -- It was so blank.
I had no idea why she was ticked off at me the next day.
So when Keith goes into one of these trances,
what the hell exactly is happening?
More than likely he's jumping him.
This is very scary.
How do I know he's not going
to be hovering over my bed with a knife?
Or standing at the end of my bed with a gun?
So Shannon, you told me you're afraid something here
might influence Keith to hurt you.
And you nailed it. You were right.
Now it's time to find out if there's anything you two can do
to save your marriage and your lives.
For that, I'm gonna turn it over to Amy.
I think you can fix this,
but there are quite a few things that you'll need to do.
There is a team that I would like to have come here,
and it does consist of a medium
as well as other types of sensitives.
They can remove this negative dead male.
Basically, what'll happen is
while half of the team is removing this deceased male,
the other half of the team
will be working on the both of you,
and that means removing any negative attachments,
or things,
that have been influencing and or affecting you.
Once all of that's been done, then they'll also assist,
like, the dead sisters and whoever else.
I feel like until the people can get here
who can help you, I would recommend
that one of you stays somewhere else
to prevent anything from occurring.
Wow.
I'm just gonna pack a bag so I don't have to stay here.
I don't feel safe in my home.
And the last thing I would like to see you guys do
is reach out to a psychotherapist
and someone who does specialize in marriage.
There has been damage done to both of you as individuals
and to you as a couple, okay?
Even though you were influenced by this maniac,
you said and/or did things that hurt the other person,
and that's going to stay with them.
So once they bring this team in,
do you think all this activity will stop?
Yes, I do, I do.
So it sounds like
once you get all the paranormal taken care of,
then you guys work on this.
- Yeah. - Very doable.
The question I have for both of you -- Is it too late?
I hope not.
- You gonna take Amy's advice? - Yes.
Absolutely.
We're not gonna be able to work through our problems
until this is taken care of.
I walked in here not even considering working it out.
At least now I'm considering.
We'll get through this.
Shannon and Keith have a long road ahead of them,
but if they bring in a team of sensitives to remove the dead,
and meet with a psychotherapist to work on their relationship,
I believe the activity will stop
and they can go back to being a loving couple.
