This little thing comes out from the earth.
The land's been cursed.
Something's really going after my mom.
Things are getting pretty violent.
He liked to kill things.
He killed at least six women.
It makes me sick, physically.
I broke my neck.
What?!
There will only be darkness here.
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.
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 Di Schiavi.
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 Springfield, Ohio.
It's about 30 minutes outside of Dayton.
So, I got a call from a young guy named Josh.
Now, he says the house he grew up in
was a paranormal war zone.
He got out, but his parents are still there and won't leave.
He said Amy and I need to either fix this or convince them to go.
Before Amy arrives,
I clear the house of any leading information.
Photographs, antiques,
even pieces of furniture can influence her findings,
so it's important that I cover or remove them all.
When I'm finished,
the location will be ready for tonight's walk.
Lots of negativity back in here.
You can feel it. It comes right into your gut.
I don't think this is a good place
for a living person to be.
They are trying to get ahead
or trying to fulfill wishes or dreams,
but the land won't let you.
And I heard the dead guy say
there will only be darkness here for them.
So, Josh, when we spoke on the phone,
you made it sound like things were pretty bad in this house.
What the hell's going on?
Something's really going after my mom.
Things are getting pretty violent,
especially towards her,
and I have a feeling that if we don't solve this soon,
it's gonna get really bad.
Does your mom realize the kind of danger she's in?
I think she does now.
Then how come she didn't call us in?
There's a point where your parents take care of you in your life,
and there's a point where you return the favor.
- So I know you moved out. - Yes.
So who's living in the house now?
My mom and dad.
So, I assume you growing up here, you had experiences?
Yeah. Things would happen you couldn't explain,
and just kind of had to deal with them.
Do me a favor and give me a list of what's happening in the house.
Things like objects move on their own,
footsteps, voices,
shadows and apparitions,
and then there's been times where things will get physical.
Okay, so when you say "physical," give me an example.
My mom's been pushed down the stairs.
I've seen people die from falling eight feet --
you know, breaking their neck.
Her neck was actually broken.
I literally watched her torso go forward
ahead of her feet, ahead of her head, everything,
and just -- bam! -- comes crashing down.
So, what all is going on?
How's your mom dealing with it?
It's just causing a lot of stress,
having several health issues that are unexplainable.
Why do you think your mother's health problems are paranormal?
It's unexplainable.
Doctors will see some sort of medical condition
and say, "You're that one-in-a-million case."
It's just gotten worse and worse and worse.
And, now, how old is mom?
Mom is 50.
So she's still a young woman.
Yes. I think something here kind of has its own agenda.
My mom's the target,
and I think it just kind of takes pleasure in abusing her.
So, one of the main things that's here
originated from out there.
This little thing comes out from the earth.
It has a weird, long neck,
really skinny arms that are always up.
It just has, like, big round blobs for eyes,
like white blobs.
How might the living here experience this thing?
I think that the living would feel this fear and this anxiety.
There's a living female here who has heart trouble
directly related to the land thing.
It's always, like, kind of growling and snorting.
It's always making disgusting sounds.
It can go anywhere it wants.
It's physical. It can do physical harm.
Then I saw these two shadow people
standing up by the trees.
So, one shadow person --
it was actually a living person at one time.
The other one is a shadow man.
I think they're both connected to this strange creature.
This isn't good.
All right, so Josh, I assume this was your room?
Yeah. Yeah, this was the room I grew up in. Okay.
So let's get to some of the experiences you had
when you were growing up.
I saw a shadow at the stairs that lead up here,
flipped on the light, and I looked down.
I saw my shadow, and then I saw
this little bit taller, skinnier figure
and it was black -- I mean, absolutely black.
I took off after it when it moved away from the wall,
started flipping lights the whole way through the house,
and there was nothing.
Were you home alone?
No. My parents were upstairs asleep.
Okay, so there was nobody downstairs, though?
- No. - All right, anything else?
There was a presence one night,
and it felt like something literally came up behind me.
I was sitting down,
and you could just feel it breathing down your neck.
This breathing that you felt -- I mean,
did you get a sense of what it could have been?
Was it a man, woman?
I honestly have no clue.
It was bad, for sure.
Is there anything else?
I was almost asleep, and someone slapped me.
I felt somebody slap the left side of my face.
How hard of a slap? Show me.
Just...
- Across your face? - Yeah.
Did you think you were dreaming or...
That's kind of what I thought
until I walked into the bathroom
and I saw the just -- they were faint,
but there were finger marks, like, right here.
This is some pretty serious stuff.
My biggest concern is one day I'll get a call
my mom and dad were seriously hurt, or worse.
I mean, it's just bad here.
Whatever's causing the problem, I want it out.
All right.
This strange creature is very dangerous,
and I did see it grabbing somebody in bed,
and I thought maybe it was a teenage boy,
and he's getting hurt,
and he's getting hit really hard on their upper back,
to the point where it's like, "- "
I'm getting, like, really dizzy.
I'm scared, and I just feel fear.
I feel like something in here is being strangled.
So, Collin, I was talking to your son, Josh,
and he's concerned that something in this house
is going after your wife.
I mean, do you agree with that at all?
Yeah. She's not doing as well as she used to.
We've been to -- I don't know --
every doctor that you can think of.
Do you think this house is causing that?
Something's causing it,
so it could be very possible.
You know, you don't want your wife to be sick,
and you don't want your wife to be
waking up in the middle of the night screaming.
What about experiences? Have you had anything?
We had a situation with our television.
It will just come on in the middle of the night
for no reason.
Was it an electrical problem, do you think?
No, I don't think so. We actually put new wiring in.
Okay, anything else?
My boots will slide across the floor on their own.
So how far are these boots actually moving?
Four or five feet.
Josh was saying to me that he's really worried
about both of you.
You ever think about just getting up and leaving?
Yes and no.
How do you sell a house
that could be something wrong with it?
How can you do that to somebody else?
You know, that's the reason you're here.
I'm seeing a living man sitting,
watching this shadow person coming out of the door,
walking through here, walking back.
I think it's the dead shadow man from outside.
He can project this shadow-person form.
He's, like, just flipping out.
I think he's crazy.
He...
doesn't like this place.
There's bitterness about it,
hatred about it.
He says that these living people that done him wrong --
he said that they're liars, cheats, and whores,
and he has a personal grudge against them.
Do you have any idea how he might act on that?
Definitely getting physical --
pushing, shoving, possibly choking people.
He hates them.
He wants to hurt them. It's really bad.
So, Beth, obviously, you know that Josh called us in. Yes.
He's pretty convinced that whatever's going on here
is pretty dangerous.
- I totally agree. - Okay.
Josh told me about some pretty scary experience
you had on the staircase.
Yes. I've been shoved down it multiple times.
The first one, I have a picture of what happened.
This is my leg. Geez.
The second time, I went head first.
It was bad. It was very bad.
Ended up in the hospital with a broken neck.
You could have died, you know that?
Yeah, definitely, or been paralyzed.
- Right. - Yeah.
I'm getting somebody's falling down.
Somebody's being shoved.
And it feels like they've been shoved or pushed more than once.
Any idea what's causing that?
I think it's that strange creature,
so it can make you feel dizzy, nauseous,
and you could fall down because of that.
Okay, anything else?
The other morning, I just woke up out of the blue
and just threw up all over the place for no reason.
You know, so Josh mentioned to me about your health issues.
What are we talking about here?
I have fibromyalgia. I have a blood disorder.
I have a cyst in my heart called a pericardial cyst.
One in a million get it.
Okay, anything else?
I've seen a smoky brown mist go through the kitchen.
Now, did you ever see anything like that before?
Yes. I've seen a female apparition
going across the kitchen,
probably about five-foot tall.
She was a white lady,
and she had, like, a period gown on.
She was going from room to room.
Now, was this a solid figure
or something you see through?
She was solid.
What do you think whatever's here wants?
I guess me dead.
It sounds horrible, but I really feel that now.
So what's keeping you here?
I guess we worked so hard on this.
We've been here 18 years.
But one more thing, I'm out of here.
It feels -- it's not my home anymore.
Okay, there's a dead woman in here.
She was in a gown of some kind.
She's actually a big, big threat here.
But I don't think anybody knows.
She's sneaky -- very sneaky.
She's being very, very bad, bad.
How exactly?
She's trying to sneak into somebody --
a living woman, I believe.
She's trying to take over their life.
She's doing it very subtly.
She's been doing this,
and she's able to do it rather successfully
because everyone is distracted
by the other phenomena that's going on here.
Do you have any idea why she's doing that
to this living person?
She wants another life. She wants a fair life.
So what would happen to the living
if she did get inside them?
A lot of behavioral changes with this person.
So I'm worried that the living woman
could think she's gone crazy.
All right, so what's going on up here?
I just feel like the presence here
has just changed our personalities.
Our moods are changing. We fight constantly.
When we enter this room, it gets worse.
Why isn't this just husband-and-wife stuff,
and why is it the paranormal?
When we leave the house, we're fine.
Get back here, we're not in here 10 minutes,
we're at each other.
All right, anything else happening in here?
I've actually felt like someone has gotten in bed with me.
It feels like someone sits down,
and the covers came back.
Does your husband feel it?
No. He is out cold.
What about the dogs?
They don't sleep in my room.
The door's shut.
Okay. How the hell are you sleeping?
I don't sleep. I have horrible insomnia.
I mean, you got a lot going on.
- It is a lot. - Anything else happen?
I wake up to this black, tall figure with red eyes
staring at me, and then it will disappear.
Okay, so how long do you think it's staring at you?
It seems like forever.
Probably 40 seconds or so.
I got to be honest with you -- after listening to you,
I don't know how the hell you're living like this.
It's just very hard.
I know. I know.
What do you do, you know?
If we can help you, we're gonna do our best to do it, okay?
I appreciate that.
I'm seeing a woman being attacked.
I see light hair.
She's yelling, and she's being strangled,
and then crying.
The dead chick sleeps here.
And what kind of experiences
would the living have with her here?
I think that they can feel her in bed with them.
It would make you uncomfortable.
It would make you not be able to sleep.
She wants, I think, to take over the lady
who has the heart problems now.
What do you mean by "taking her over"?
Tearing down that person's personality
and putting her own personality into that person's body
and then having a new life.
It's trapping them inside of themselves.
They kind of die in a way then.
You know, just about every property I investigate
has some Native American history,
so most of the time I don't even bother.
But I'm heading over to meet a local professor
who says Beth's property
was the site of an epic and bloody battle,
and I'm definitely gonna want to know about it.
I know this battle happened on my client's land,
so who lived there, and when did this happen?
In 1780 there is a group of Shawnee villages here
called Piqua. Okay.
Your client's property's in that area.
In the long run what will be at stake
will be who controls the region.
What prompted it?
At this point, we're in the middle
of the American Revolutionary War.
The Shawnee were allies of the British.
At the urging of the British,
the Shawnee have been attacking settlements
south of the Ohio River.
All right, so we know how things turned out
for the Indians and the British.
So what happened?
Colonel George Rogers Clark organized
a contingent of settlers of about 1,000,
and they drove northward up toward the Shawnee villages.
And the Shawnee decided to make a stand up here
at the villages of Piqua.
Okay, so how bad did the fighting get?
Well, you can get some idea from this illustration.
Both sides have muskets.
They'd have had hand-held weapons like knifes, hand axes,
and Clark also had cannon.
That battle went on for the next few hours,
raged miles into the woods.
So, when all's said and done, what's the final death toll?
Clark wrote a letter to Governor Thomas Jefferson
about two weeks after the battle.
It's right here.
And he said that he lost 14 men, and he had 13 wounded.
He indicated that the Indians had lost
probably three times that number.
For the two days after the battle,
Clark's men stayed around,
and they destroyed 800 or so acres of planted corn.
So the immediate impact on the Shawnee
really is quite enormous and devastating.
Do you have any idea whatever happened to the Shawnee?
Most of the Shawnee ended up out West on reservations.
Okay, so they were displaced and put in a reservation.
That's right, absolutely displaced.
Okay.
That's not good.
I see it's muddy, but it's because
there's blood and guts and pieces of flesh.
Now I know that the land's been cursed.
Can you tell anything about what this curse is from?
It was some kind of massacre or something like that.
It's hard to walk because it's all muddy.
This is symbolic of what this land does
to the living who are here.
You can't move ahead.
You're always gonna fall down, and now even worse,
'cause the creature came into existence
from this land that was cursed.
So it's like a physical manifestation of a curse.
So far, I've got a family under attack
on property where a brutal massacre occurred
between Shawnee warriors and white settlers.
But I want to see if there's anything else.
Searching through old records, I come across Margaret Keifer,
who used to own my client's property.
Turns out she died from a rare condition
that began as a stomachache.
I'm heading over to meet with a local genealogist
who's looking in this for me,
and she says the poor woman suffered a slow, painful death,
and it happened right on Beth's property.
I know one of the previous owners
of my client's property died there.
What can you tell me about her?
That was Margaret Keifer and her husband, George,
and they bought about 465 acres in the area,
including the property where your client is, in 1816.
Okay, so how did it go for them when they got here?
It was pretty unremarkable for their first few years,
but after they lived there for about six years,
Margaret started having really bad stomach pains. Okay.
And she was eventually diagnosed with dyspepsia.
Okay, so what do we know about this illness?
What are the symptoms?
She would have had nausea, vomiting, difficulty eating --
just extremely painful to the point
where it would become difficult to even breathe.
So I know she winds up dying,
but how long did she suffer?
It probably would have been for at least a few months,
and then she ended up dying eventually in 1822.
She was only 49 at the time.
This is her interment card.
All right, so what do we know about her burial?
Well, at that time period, there was wasn't funeral homes,
so her husband, George,
would have had her wake there at the home,
and then she was buried in a family cemetery
about 1,000 yards from the property.
Okay.
I'm seeing that dead lady again.
She's extremely pale, as if she was frozen.
I feel like she was in her coffin here.
She must have been viewed, so she had to have lived here.
And she got something sick in her stomach -- bad.
Oof. Very bad stomach.
It made her feel like...
It made her feel like she couldn't breathe.
Her diaphragm was compressed.
I think she died here.

Another thing caught my attention in research.
Back in the '90s, there was a brutal double homicide
right down the road from Beth's house.
I'm driving over to meet a true-crime author
who studied this case,
and she says the perp turned out to be a vicious serial killer.
Carol, I appreciate you helping me out with this case.
So, I know this double homicide happened
pretty close to my client's property.
What can you tell me about it?
Okay, on August the 22nd, 1992,
Phree Morrow, 12, and Martha Leach, 11,
went for a walk to a local bakery
and were never seen alive again.
And the next day, two little boys
found their bodies behind the bakery.
This is the headline that was in the paper.
"Girls found slain." Okay.
What kind of a condition did they find these bodies in?
They were found nude, and they were bruised.
They had both bone been sexually abused,
had been raped.
All right, so I know autopsies were done.
What was the official cause of death?
A blunt-force trauma to the head.
Did they recover any other physical evidence
at the scene or near it?
About two blocks from there,
they recovered Phree Morrow's shorts,
and they had been cut off of her
in a very meticulous manner.
All right, so I know they eventually get this guy.
But who was he?
He was William Sapp.
He was 30 years old,
and he lived in Springfield most of his life.
That's him.
If you saw "low-life child molester"
and "killer" in the dictionary,
this guy's photo would pop up.
There's something else that happened here that was...
not good.
I just see a chalk outline.
- Like of a body? - Yeah.
So I'm gonna say possible murder here.
And someone was very happy about it.
He liked to kill things.
Feels good, really good.
All right, so I know they eventually get this guy,
but when and what were the circumstances of it?
Well, in 1996, he attacked a woman,
but she lived. Okay.
And he went to prison for that.
And as a routine,
they did a DNA test on him. Okay.
And it came back positive match to Phree and Martha.
So they confronted him with the DNA result
and he confessed not only to Phree and Martha
but with some other cases
that were unsolved in Springfield.
Did he brag about anything?
'Cause I know they love to brag.
Well, in the confession, he talked about
slowly cutting a woman's jeans with a scalpel
and he talked about it being like
opening Christmas presents --
doing it very slowly and enjoying it, savoring it.
So I assume this sicko got convicted?
He was found guilty of all the charges against him,
and he received three death sentences.
He's been on death row since 1999.
I feel like this killer has done this before.
Does he interact with the living?
Yes. He is...
very capable of getting inside a person.
So, what would happen to the living
if he did get inside them?
Well, he kind of makes you want to, like,
stab people and do harm.
He likes to make people try to hurt themselves.
This is weird.
I don't like it.
I don't feel good.
Are you okay?
It makes me sick, physically,
like I want to vomit.
I saw several horrifying things during my walk,
but two stood out --
first, the curse manifestation attacking a living person.
There's, like, a little being.
It's about, like, two feet tall.
Its head is kind of flat.
The eyes are, like, gelatinous.
At one point, I saw it attacking --
I believe it was a male.
But the guy had his back to me and this thing was, like...
Next, I described the dead woman
laying in bed with a living person.
In the center of this large bed is a coffin.
There was no lid,
and she's wearing a wedding gown.
Amy, is this 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 Josh and his mother, Beth.
Josh grew up in this house
and had all kinds of experiences while he was here.
But now that he's moved out, the activity has turned violent.
Josh called us in because he doesn't think it's safe
for his mom to be here,
and if we can't find a way to fix it,
he thinks this house is gonna kill her.
So now that Amy knows who you guys are,
I'll ask her to describe her walk for us.
I came into contact with a creepy male.
I can absolutely say that he was disturbed,
crazy, and evil.
Possibly this male had murdered somebody here.
I was able to feel how he felt
when he committed this crime,
and he felt awesome.
This individual really enjoyed killing.
I was getting that he had killed before this murder.
Possibly he killed after this murder.
I was like, this guy, to me,
felt like a wannabe, like, Ed Gein,
who was a serial killer.
My gosh.
I got a pretty good idea who she's talking about.
His name is William Sapp.
He's a local guy who lived here
most of his life in this area.
He's also a serial killer.
August 22nd, 1992,
Sapp killed a couple of young girls not far from here.
The victims were a 12-year-old and her 11-year-old friend.
Both girls were killed with blunt-force trauma to the head.
Both girls, during the investigation,
had been shown they were sexually assaulted.
My God.
I actually got a newspaper article.
Now, you talk about how happy this guy was
when he was killing.
The expert I talked to said Sapp had a bizarre way
of taking his victims' pants off.
He would cut each stitch individually with a scalpel
so that he could take his time and enjoy it.
I could see that.
So, this sick bastard eventually confessed
and got three death sentences.
Now, I got a photo of Sapp.
So, could this be the guy you saw?
Yes.
You just want to get your hands on somebody.
So let me ask you a question.
Would our clients experience him in any way?
Well, when I first encountered his energy,
I felt disgusted, like I wanted to vomit.
We talked about you being nauseous.
Yeah, all the time.
I mean, for months, nonstop.
I feel he could get inside of someone
and possibly influence them to do bad things.
Have you ever felt anything like that?
I snap really easy -- really easy --
which never did before.
When I went to the backyard area,
it was really hard to walk.
I see it's muddy, but it's because
there's blood and guts and pieces of flesh.
Now I know that the land's been cursed.
Obviously, there must have been some kind of massacre.
It's not a lot to go on,
but massacre kind of caught my attention.
Now, this land was the site of a bloody battle
that took place during the Revolutionary War.
During that time, this area
was a Shawnee Indian village known as Piqua.
The Shawnee saw white settlers
as a threat to their control of the land,
so they traveled around attacking the settlements.
Now, by 1780, the settlers
and the colonial government had enough,
so a guy named Colonel George Clark
mobilized a group --
over 1,000 revolutionaries and militia.
Clark's men stormed the Shawnee village at Piqua.
Even by conservative estimates, the body count was big.
Clark said he lost at least 14 men,
and the Shawnee lost at least triple that.
So we're looking at a minimum
of about 56 dead right here in this area.
Now, before Clark's men left the area,
they burnt 800 acres of crops,
basically destroying all the Shawnees' food supply... Geez!
...so they couldn't come back here and live here.
Then the Native Americans put a curse
because they kind of got **** every which way.
So, how does this curse affect these guys?
It manifested somehow into a conscious entity.
It actually took on a physical form.
I've not encountered this before.
That curse --
it's working with two other entities.
The first one that it's working with
is an actual shadow person.
The second one was a deceased male
who used to live here.
Basically, all three of them are working against you guys.
My God!
And I think there are several ways
that you would experience them.
The first thing is that you would see shadow people.
Tell Amy about the shadow figures you've seen.
I was upstairs one night, and I saw this thing
that looked like a very tall, skinny man.
Upstairs I see a tall shadow -- dark black --
and it, like, hangs in the corner.
And I just saw that a couple nights ago,
and it was, like, standing over my husband.
These three also create serious anxiety issues.
I have horrible anxiety now.
It just pisses me off.
The curse manifestation is also capable
of being very physical with the living.
It can push, shove, and choke.
I saw that it was shoving a living person down.
This has happened multiple times.
Well, this is the main reason Josh called us in.
Beth has been pushed down the stairs several times.
I got a photo of one of the times.
This is her leg.
Believe it or not, though,
this time wasn't the worst of it.
Tell her about what happened to your neck.
I was shoved down the stairs,
and I broke my neck.
What?!
You broke your neck?
- Yeah. Had surgery. - What?!
I was lucky I wasn't paralyzed.
I had slivers of bone into my spinal column.
All right, so two of these things look like shadows.
Did you get a good look at the original curse thing?
I had a sketch done of the curse manifestation
attacking a person.
My gosh.
Josh got attacked when he was here as a younger man.
I was upstairs, and I was just getting ready
to shut my eyes, and someone just slapped me.
I went into the bathroom and looked,
and three little marks, like, right here
on the side of my face where somebody hit me.
It's weird 'cause that thing only had three fingers.
My God.
Just want to strangle them. That's all you want to do.
I just can't believe that this is here.
Okay, anything else?
Then there's one more,
and this next person is super sneaky.
The things I got about her are she did live here
I think in the '20s.
She was extremely sad, very depressed --
very depressed during her life.
And she is miserable now in death.
She had nice dark-brown hair.
She was wearing what looked like a gown of some sort.
I see a lady in a white gown.
I see her go through the kitchen.
When I first saw her, she was laying in this coffin.
Then I got that she had died from some kind of illness,
possibly with the stomach.
It took her a long time to die.
It made it extremely painful to breathe.
I felt very much that she probably died here.
And the coffin --
because she's so attached to the coffin --
I felt like she was displayed here.
A few things you mentioned made me think of a woman
who used to live on the property.
Now, her name was Margaret Keifer.
She moved here with her family in 1816.
Now, you said she was a woman
that might have died from a stomach illness. Yes.
Well, after just a few years of living here,
Margaret got really sick.
I mean, she suffered from an infected ulcer in her stomach
and eventually got diagnosed with dyspepsia.
The expert I talked to said it's a pretty miserable condition.
Basically, she would have suffered from stomach pains,
nausea, vomiting,
trouble eating and even breathing.
Now, she died from that illness in 1822,
and she was only 49 years old.
Now, back then there were no funeral parlors, obviously,
and they displayed her in the house.
Now, is it possible Margaret Keifer
is woman you might have seen?
Yes.
Now, you said you were worried about this woman. Why?
The ways that she actually is affecting you
is she likes to get into bed with the living people.
I saw it in the big bedroom upstairs,
and I thought that the living people would feel this.
When she does it, it would make you uncomfortable
and hard for you to sleep.
I actually have felt someone sit on the side of my bed
and pull my covers back.
Like, I'm afraid to roll over.
I had a sketch done of the dead woman
in her coffin in your bed.
Geez.
I don't even want to show you this.
My gosh.
So that's why I don't sleep.
What does she want from Beth?
Her goal is to
take over the living woman in this house.
- Why? - She hated her life.
She wants to create a new life for herself.
What she's currently doing, and has been doing,
is slowly chipping away at elements of you
and replacing them more with elements of herself.
She's chipping away? What better way to do it?
In the short term, you might experience,
or other people might perceive, like,
some small personality changes, behavioral changes.
Then you might think you're kind of going nuts.
This can bring on depression, self-destructive thoughts.
It just really upsets me,
I mean, 'cause my whole personality has changed.
I mean, I'm, like, depressed.
Pisses me off.
The thing that's scary --
she would like to reduce your personality
down to the bare minimum
and take over your body.
I knew something was bad, but not this bad.
I think it's horrible. That's just horrible.
So, Josh, you called us in
because you thought your mother was in danger here.
And after what Amy told us tonight,
looks like the situation here
is even worse than what we thought.
Now it's time to answer the big question --
is there any way to fix this
so your mom and dad can stay here safely,
or should they just pack up and get the hell out while they can?
So, for that answer, I'm gonna turn it over to Amy.
First thing is to bring in a male medium
to move the dead woman on.
All right, you're talking about Margaret Keifer? Yes.
The medium must call on her dead relatives
to come and remove her.
But why do the dead relatives
have to come to get this lady?
Because once she sees them again,
it's going to make her feel happiness,
and she hasn't felt that in a very long time.
Once this has been done,
you will feel better physically.
All right. Now, what can they do to get rid of this thing?
For the curse manifestation,
a Shawnee descendent would have to come
and remove the curse and bless the land.
This is the only way to truly dissolve
that curse manifestation.
But here's some good news.
The shadow man was not directly related to this house.
He will leave with the curse manifestation
to try to find another victim,
so there will be much less physical phenomena, if any.
All right, will the other dead guy working with them go, too?
Correct. Yes.
That's incredible.
What about this man?
He was only here because I was here.
He'll leave once we're gone.
Okay. That's good.
That's awesome.
It sounds like you got a game plan. Yeah.
I got to ask -- are you gonna take Amy's advice?
No doubt about it. I have to do it.
I want a life back. I want to feel better.
- It's gonna get done. - Thank you.
It's going to take some work,
but if Josh and Beth contact a medium
and a Shawnee descendent,
they can remove the dead and banish the curse manifestation.
Once they're gone, Beth will begin to feel better,
and this family can find the peace they deserve.
