I've been workin' for the Morgan City Police Department
34 years.
In recent weeks,
with reports of strange and unusual activity
that we just can't explain.
The people down here
are lookin' for answers, so we're gonna try something
that we've never tried before.
You heard a growl? There was a growl.
We've got a team of some of the best
paranormal investigators in the country.
Is there a negative entity here?
Oh, my God! What the hell?!

If this paranormal team can't figure out
what's goin' on down here,
we're in a lot of trouble.

We just had an emergency call come in from Berwick.
Berwick?
That's, like, right across the river from Morgan City.
Yeah, it's not far from here.
The PD is on scene right now.
I really feel like there's a female spirit
connected to this one.
Really? Yeah.
There's been a rash of hauntings spreading across
all of St. Mary Parish.
We originally came here to help Morgan City,
but almost immediately, we started getting calls
about unusual activity in the surrounding towns.
We're trying to figure out how all these hauntings are related.
Wow.
But they've been escalating so quickly...
Oh, my God!
It's kind of hard to find any real patterns
to help us contain it.
And now we're being called to the town of Berwick,
and this will be our second case reporting poltergeist activity.
So we need to figure out what's going on
and how to solve this before things get any worse.

Hey, guys.
I'm patrolling the area earlier,
seeing three young girls out past curfew.
And get out and talk with them.
So, they explained to me some very disturbing things
going on inside their house.
They're refusing to go back inside.
Say their dads are out shopping,
and things just started happening.
The dads, Jon and Bubba, actually just pulled up,
if you guys want to come talk to them.
Thanks, sir.
Berwick PD has been getting a lot of strange calls recently.
Some strange things have been happening...
Some things we just can't explain.
I mean, I can't exactly arrest a ghost,
so at the end of the day, I'm definitely glad
that the paranormal team was able to come out
and check it out further.
Excuse me, gentlemen.
Can I talk to y'all over here, guys?
This is Bubba and Jon.
Nice to meet you. Thank you.
They'll take of y'all from here, okay?
Alright, thanks, Officer. Yes, sir.
So, we just got back from the grocery store.
We left Taylor in charge... She's 17...
With her two little sisters.
And all we know is, the girls
were running out the house, panicking.
Okay.
So, come here, girls.
So, my name's Ben, and this is Sarah and this is Jereme.
Hi.
And we've been working with the local police,
helping them with unusual cases...
Things that happen in people's homes.
And I understand the police officer came
because you guys had run outside your house, right?
Okay.
Do you feel comfortable talking about this
and kind of telling us what happened?
Yeah.
Okay, whoever wants to describe what happened first...
What?
So, I was in my room.
And I was playing with my doll.
And...
its arm moved.
And then I screamed.
I was running from my room,
trying to figure out
why they were just screaming all of a sudden.
And then the lights started flickering.
And you could hear banging on the walls.
♪♪
I was like, "Well, let's just get out of the room."
So, right before we got to the door,
the door just slammed in our face.
And then we said we're not going back in there.
♪♪
So we stayed outside,
and then the cop pulled up.
- Oh, my gosh. - That's pretty scary.
I would like to go in there,
so I'm gonna let the rest of my team
ask you some more questions here.
Since the poltergeist activity just happened,
I don't want to leave this family alone,
so Jereme and Sarah are gonna stay with them
while I head inside with my equipment
to see if it picks up on any anomalies.
♪♪
Turning on my EMF meter.
It's constantly...
really high.
We're reading right now about 7 milligauss.
Steady 7.
So this tells me there's some serious background EMF fields.
So, I think she said the living-room door...
I think it was this door that slammed.
Poltergeist activity is actually pretty rare.
It takes a lot of energy to physically move an object...
A very powerful spirit.
♪♪
Get chills walking in here.
How old is this house?
Look at that roof.
I can feel my skin kind of tingle.
It felt like walking through a curtain of static.
♪♪
It's constantly high EMF.
This is higher than you would like it in your home,
and that's probably caused by the old wiring.
But since spirits are believed to emit
their own electromagnetic field, it could have something to do
with whatever just caused the poltergeist activity here.
So, guys, this must have been
so scary for y'all, huh?
Has this ever happened to y'all before,
or is this the first time?
I've actually seen something
in my room, as well.
I was tossing and turning all night, couldn't sleep.
I woke up, and I saw a woman
in the corner of my room.
So, you actually saw a ghost? Yeah.
Would you mind giving us details?
An older lady.
Older lady with big glasses,
like stop signs.
I mean, they were really big.
Her hair is salt-and-pepper and kind of pulled up.
I think it's really interesting that Bubba
has experienced a female energy.
Part of me honestly thinks that it might be an owner
or somebody else that used to be close to the home.
I have a male presence here, also.
Not sure who he is yet.
So, how long have you guys been in the house?
We bought it in 2015. Okay.
In Taylor's room,
the ceiling is the original ceiling.
We've never touched it.
Only thing we've done is there was a lot of hooks.
We just took them down. It was time.
Yeah, we took them all down.
Taylor didn't want them up there.
They have big hooks, small hooks.
It's kind of creepy.
Okay.
Whoever was living in here...
They did have some stuff in the attic, too.
Yeah.
And they had a lot of religious stuff
that we just couldn't get rid of, so we kept.
So, you... you have things
that belonged to the past owner?
Yeah, they had some kids' toys in the attic.
The dolls that were in the attic,
you and Riley went in the attic and got out.
Yeah, me and Riley went, and she wanted a few out.
So, who has the dolls now? Riley.
And that's the doll that moved, right?
Yeah. Okay, got it.
It's not a myth
that spirits are often attracted to dolls.
That's why there's so many stories
of evil forces possessing dolls.
Negative spirits like to trick people.
They like to disguise themselves
as something that appears harmless.
♪♪
And there's some creepy dolls.
I would not want to see any of those dolls moving.
Oh, you're a creepy little thing, aren't you?
She says one of these dolls'...
I think it's one of these... Arms moved.
Now, I could see if it was already propped up,
and it falls down.
It's starting to fall right now.
But I think a child would know,
I mean, if they had set the arm up
and then it fell down and moved,
and then everything happening all at once...
Something that would make them all come screaming
and running out of the house together,
has got to be pretty intense.
I don't know why anyone would have a life-size doll.
But it's always been one of my worst fears,
is that I would be in a room with dolls
and they'd start moving.
My brother locked me in a room with ventriloquist dummies
when I was a kid, and I was screaming bloody murder.
Did not want to be in that room.
So, uh, first thing I would do is get rid of this stuff.
I don't know if it has anything to do
with the reason this was going...
Oh, it's spiking.
Got a fluctuation here.
There's someone in this room.
Do you like how I'm talking about the dolls
and what's going on?
♪♪
Just a few weeks ago,
my mom saw something also.
I think, maybe if y'all could reach out to her...
Yeah.
She could tell y'all some stuff that happened.
So, it... it really seems like
this whole thing has affected
each and every one of you pretty dramatically.
We need to get you guys some answers,
and that's what we're gonna try and do.
It was pretty heartbreaking to hear
what the girls were going through,
and then you have two really great dads
who are doing the best they can.
They're also experiencing stuff.
It is so important that we find answers
and bring peace back to this home.

Did you not like that? I said, "Get rid of this stuff."
What do you think about me moving stuff?
Is that a problem?
There it goes.
Did you see it?

It's going up to like...

I think we better wrap it up tonight and talk to Diane.
We're gonna have our historian look up the history of the home
and maybe more about the history of these dolls.
♪♪
Well, I have some information
that I think is gonna help us in this case.
So, regarding the history of Bubba and Jon's house,
we found that that location was owned by Ouida Swearingen.
Ouida lived in the house during the 1940s,
but in addition to being her home,
it was also a place of business for her
because Ouida was a dressmaker.
That would explain the hooks in the ceiling...
True.
Because it was common then, and maybe even now,
where dressmakers would have hooks in their ceilings
to hang dresses that they either have made
or that they're working on,
so that certainly would tie in to Ouida.
She was a prominent seamstress here in this area,
and she made clothes for dolls.
♪♪
Let me show you some pictures of Ouida.
Here's one in the local newspaper,
the Daily Review, where she's receiving an award.
She's the one in the middle.
Jereme, check it out.
That's her in the middle?
This is exactly what Bubba explained.
He said he saw a woman
in his bedroom,
huge glasses like stop signs,
salt-and-pepper hair.
This is incredible.
How did she pass? Did she pass in the home?
No, she did not pass in the home.
Ouida lived to be a ripe old age of 87.
We have reports of knocking on walls,
doors opening and closing by themselves,
reports of dolls moving on their own.
And we have a prominent woman here
that spent her life making dresses,
making dolls for children.
That's not gonna be the kind of person
that's gonna try to scare kids.
I think we need to go back to this house.
We need to figure out what's going on there
and what this secondary energy might be.
Clearly, there's something else
affecting this home.
To me, it feels like it likes scaring these children.
It feels very dangerous, almost evil.
♪♪
It's Day 2, and I'm back here in Berwick.
I'm at the house of Jon and Bubba.
I'm gonna be talking with Bubba's mother, Dorothy,
who says that she had her own experience,
and I want to get the details from her.
I'm gonna set up my camera here
if that's okay with you.
Okay.
So, as we were here last night,
Bubba had mentioned that you had
had some experiences of your own.
Yes.
I think it would be really great if you can
just give me the details of what's been going on.
Okay.
The activity has really been escalated,
and it kind of scares you.
Over the past few months, things had been happening.
Just started with simple things...
Doors opening or shutting behind us.
Anything that you noticed
that has changed in the house,
that happened right before this?
No, just...
No, they did do
a lot of digging in the attic
and took quite a bit down.
Is this when they brought down the dolls, all that stuff?
Yes, and I thought that's when...
things escalated.
So, what would you say
is the most kind of frightening,
disturbing thing that you've had happen here?
What recently happened to me,
the little girl I saw...
playing with Riley.
I was video-chatting with Riley
one afternoon.
♪♪
Who's your friend there with you?
♪♪
There's nobody here.
And the little girl
had her hand on Riley's shoulder.
I'll be right back.
Oh, my gosh, Dorothy, wait.
You saw this little girl in the background
of the video chat while you were talking to her?
She was standing right on the side of Riley.
And Riley was in
the front yard of this house, right?
Yes. What did she look like?
She had a strange look about her.
She had shoulder-length coal-black hair,
bangs cut straight across,
which kind of looked like '60s.
She looked at me like she knew me.
She looked straight at me.
♪♪
Oh, my gosh, Dorothy, wait.
You saw the ghost of a little girl
in the background of the video chat
while you were talking to her?
She was standing right on the side of Riley.
We're trying to figure out what's causing this
very aggressive poltergeist activity
that scared all three of Dorothy's granddaughters
out of the house last night.
She looked straight at me.
♪♪
Wow.
The little girl kind of looked familiar.
She kind of resembled the little Verrett girl
from an incident that happened in the neighborhood
back in the '60s.
We were friends with the neighborhood children,
and that's who she kind of reminded me of.
You say "Verrett"?
Verrett. That's a last name?
Yes, the last name of Lucy Verrett.
Lucy Verrett?
This family, the Verrett family,
the mother and three children
were murdered.
It was a really horrible ordeal.
Oh, my gosh.
So, you and Lucy were childhood friends?
Yes.
Everybody knew everybody around, you know?
I remember these children.
How old was she at the time?
I think she was about 13.
Where did she live? Was she close by?
It was down the road a bit.
Um, Lima Street...
I think that's where their house was.
I don't think the house is still there.
I don't like to talk about it.
I don't like to go into details.
I don't like to think about it.
It was a horrible, horrible situation.
What would you like to see come out of this,
if we can do something for you guys?
It would be to clear any lost souls.
And if it is anything to do
with the Verrett family,
just set them free.
If this happens again, like, if you're watching them
and it happens, what are you going to do?
Take the children and leave.
Okay.
We don't want you to have to do that,
'cause we want you guys to be at peace in your house.
Yes. Thank you.
Thank you so much, Dorothy. Thanks.
Dorothy's telling me that she believes
not only was this girl from the '60s
but that she knows her.
And it's possible that this little girl named Lucy Verrett,
who was murdered with her siblings,
has now come back to visit the children of Bubba and Jon,
and there's some reason why.
♪♪
Alright, let's see what we have here.
Do you know the name of this case?
- No. - Mnh-mnh.
Well, it's called the Berwick Bloody Four.
What? Yeah.
It was the murder of a mother
and her three children, thus the Bloody Four.
It happened in Berwick, Louisiana,
and it was the Verrett family.
You can see down there, Jereme,
the first picture is the lady, Barbara Verrett.
Next to her are her children
that were brutally killed
by the nephew of her husband, Roy Mejia.
- Notice the description? - Yeah.
That's what Dorothy told me she saw.
She believed that she had seen Lucy Verrett
and kind of looked like out of the '60s.
And the little girl looked at her.
She felt like she made eye contact
with her through the video chat.
Wow. It was one of the most tragic,
hideous cases that ever happened in St. Mary Parish.
Lucy's playing with her dolls in her bedroom,
when suddenly, she hears gunshots...
one after another, and screaming...
people screaming for their lives,
and that's her family.
And she's frightened.
And she does what any child or anyone would do.
She hides.
The murderer then comes into her room...
and he finds Lucy.
And he shoots her.
But according to his own testimony,
she just won't die,
and he then takes a claw hammer and he beats her...
♪♪
Until she's dead.
Oh, my gosh, no.
But it gets worse.
And then you wonder how worse can it get?
How? Yeah.
He takes the bodies to a swampland area nearby,
and he buries the children in a triangle.
This is something that we had never witnessed
here in St. Mary Parish.
The Berwick Bloody Four
is something that they instill in officers
from day one working in St. Mary Parish.
To this date, it is the most gruesome murder
that we've had here.
People began to lock their doors in fear.
Roy Mejia, a very close relative of the family,
committed the murders.
Why?
Why would somebody take the life of a child?
There was never any documented motive.
He was a psychopath just looking for victims, and he found them.
He was found in a swamp, where he was arrested,
and he went to prison.
♪♪
This is the house that they were murdered in,
which was right down the street from Bubba and Jon's house.
In fact, I have a little map here that shows the distance.
It's not more than a couple blocks.
The house was torn down,
and the overpass and freeway was built.
And now underneath is a playground.
It's a playground.
Isn't that kind of ironic?
Here's a photo taken after the murder.
♪♪
There's a lot of dolls in this crime-scene photo.
♪♪
When I went in Riley's room
and did the baseline sweep,
she has a doll...
A life-size doll like this...
Standing in the corner.
Just like this one?
Not just like this, but very similar.
Kind of the same height and everything.
But didn't you tell me she pulled them down,
they got them from the attic?
Yeah.
Is it possible that maybe if this is Lucy,
that she's coming back to Riley and Emily's room
because the dolls look very similar to the ones she had?
We have a key component here is dolls.
And Riley's grandmother Dorothy knows Lucy
and grew up with her.
If you're asking, "Why would Lucy go to this house?"
Well, she's friends with Dorothy,
and Dorothy visits the house a lot.
And from being a medium,
I know that when you have spirits with you,
they can go anywhere they want.
So I think Lucy's attracted to the house
because her friend Dorothy brought her there.
I think when she got there, she saw the dolls
that reminded her of her own childhood,
and she started to play with those dolls
and interacting with the girls.
I think that Lucy may have caught on
to the other activities happening in the home
and decided to stay and protect those girls.
What I want to know, is this really scary,
frightening event that happened at Jon and Bubba's house
that scared the girls, who's responsible for that?
Alright, we have doors slamming,
we have objects moving.
Could this be Lucy?
And if so, why?
Why would she be doing that to scare them?
Well, what we've learned in the other cases is,
sometimes it's given as scary,
but it's protection sometimes,
because I think we have something
that's much darker here.
You know, guys, I just want y'all
to hear me out for a moment, okay?
And I want you to not only
think about this case in particular,
but I want you to look at the big picture
and everything we've done so far.
What's connected to all of these cases that we have?
Violent deaths.
And bodies being buried in strange situations.
I mean, this Berwick murder might not just be the key
to this case but to all of our cases so far.
♪♪
Do you know the name of this case?
No. Mnh-mnh.
It's called the Berwick Bloody Four.
We don't know what's causing
this extreme poltergeist activity in this Berwick home,
but we do know there's a common denominator
through all of our cases.
What's connected to all of these cases that we have?
Violent deaths and bodies being buried in strange situations.
I mean, this Berwick murder might not just be the key
to this case but to all of our cases so far.
Jean Lafitte... okay? He had two pirates' throat slit.
Okay, we have the Battle of Irish Bend.
All these bodies are just dumped in one spot.
Okay, we have Yvette's case, where the...
Where the father and the daughter were buried together,
and our current case,
where the Verrett family was shot, bludgeoned,
and buried in the shape of a triangle.
This is the killer. Look at that face.
♪♪
This man, what he done was a pure evil act.
He killed his victims very violently
and had zero respect for the bodies of this family.
So, could this be the spirit that's not only causing
the poltergeist activity in Bubba's home
but also stirring up all the hauntings in the Parish?
Maybe, but why would he be haunting
Bubba and Jon's house?
I'm not yet convinced that Roy Mejia
is the one causing all this poltergeist activity.
He didn't live here.
He wasn't even from this town.
There's just not enough connection
that would place him here for a motive.
So, we have a lot of theories we can test
in the night investigation.
And keeping in mind what Jereme's told us,
to be very careful because all of the activity
of what we are perceiving as aggressiveness
may not actually be caused by Lucy.
It could be something much darker.
So, with that being said,
who's ready to go hunt?
♪♪
We want this family to feel safe in their home,
so tonight, we're going to try and make contact
with the spirit of Lucy

who's slamming doors

Well, I can't have the little girl by herself, either.
Okay, all right. I think I have an idea.

So, the murderer that killed Lucy and her family
thrives off of fear,
and I think he's still stalking her.
He likes to scare Lucy and he likes to scare
the little girls that live in this house,
so we need to show him that he cannot scare us.
As both a demonologist and an ordained minister,
I'm gonna do a cleansing,
then remove this evil spirit from this home.
♪♪
In the name of God Almighty,
I command the spirit of Roy Mejia to leave this home!
You are evil and I condemn you back to hell where you belong!
I banish the murderer of the Verrett family
from ever stepping foot in this house again.
Go to the foot of the cross for judgement.
You are to never return.
I now close any portals in this place
so the evil spirits may no longer enter into our realm.
I now vanquish you from this home.
In the name of the Father...
and the Son...
and the Holy Spirit.
Amen.
♪♪
I think he's gone.
I feel like the negative spirit of this murderer is gone.
I'm gonna ask the guys to step out
so that I can try communicating with Lucy again.
Lucy.
Lucy, it's Sarah.
Please, if you're here, I need to know you're here.
Are you here?
Okay.
Do I have someone here that was friends with Dorothy?
So you were friends with Dorothy?
Okay.
Is your name Lucy?
There you go. All right.
Good job, Lucy.
Good job.
♪♪
Do you come here to play with the dolls...
with the other girls and make them move?
Can I ask you a question about the house?
Does it look like your house?
It does.
Lucy, you're safe, sweetie.
The evil man is gone forever.
The man who hurt you will never, ever hurt you again.
♪♪
Lucy, are you still here?
♪♪
Hmm.
♪♪
Hey, Sarah?
Yeah.
So, I was just in the dining room,
and it just feels like
the house has just gone silent.
It feels like the energy has, like, shifted.
It's, like, calmed down.
Oh, definitely.
I think this more aggressive poltergeist activity
was Lucy's murderer.
She came to play,
and it's almost like he followed right behind her.
I don't know that it's gonna return.
Do you feel like it's gonna?
Yeah, I'm thinking that we're good.
I think we got the answers we need.
I believe that Lucy is the spirit
that was moving the dolls,
but I don't think she was doing it
to scare the girls that are living in the house.
I think she was doing it to catch their attention.
She wanted to let them know that there was
this negative energy in the house.
She was trying to protect them, and now he's gone.
So Lucy has nothing to protect the girls from anymore.
She's in a peaceful place now, and the family in this home
doesn't have to be scared anymore, either.
What do you say we pack up and regroup in the morning?
Sounds like a good idea. All right.
♪♪
Last night was quite the experience.
You definitely have an active home,
and I just wanted to reaffirm for you
that we experienced many of the same things
that you have in the house.
Apparently, Bubba's mom, Dorothy,
had already told them about the Verrett family murder
and about the ghost of Lucy in their yard.
This is a picture of Lucy.
Oh, wow, that's the bangs my mom was talking about.
Yeah.
We believe we know
why she's interacting with Riley.
She lived approximately
a block and a half from you.
Oh, wow.
In fact, your house looks very similar
to the house that Lucy grew up in.
Not just the outside, but the inside, too.
Both have kids in the house,
they have lots of dolls.
Look at the doors.
The doors inside Lucy's house are painted black
like yours are.
Now, the Verrett family house
was torn down after the murders,
but because your houses are so similar,
it's possible that Lucy may actually be
mistaking your house as her own.
Wow.
And she may be mistaking Riley
as her old childhood friend,
you know, Grandma Dorothy.
In fact, it felt like
she was actually giving commands to Sarah
to get down, to hide, to do all this stuff
when another sort of darker energy started to enter.
We think that that darker energy
could have been Lucy's murderer,
and we believe that Lucy
was just protecting your children from him.
But you don't have to worry
because I performed a cleansing ceremony,
and I believe that both their spirits are gone now.
So now the hauntings in the home should subside.
Thank you so much. Thank you so much.
I think the girls are gonna be less terrified
and less scared of everything.
I think we're gonna donate the dolls
to the local Goodwill
or we're gonna put it back in the attic.
♪♪
Wow!
Hey, officer.
Hey, how we doing?
Pretty good. Checking on things.
I see we got some smiles back at the house.
That's always good. Absolutely.
Doing well. Hopefully they stay.
Again, if we get anymore calls,
we'll definitely be in touch with you guys.
Sounds good. Thank you.
All right, thanks.
I'm not quite convinced that Roy Mejia is the one responsible
for all the paranormal activity in the parish,
but I think it's possible that there's one powerful presence
that's stirring up all the souls in the parish
who died violent deaths and were buried in unusual ways,
and maybe it's trying to tell us something.
We need to try and figure out what that something is.
♪♪
Them calls seemed to increase, not decrease.
This entity is haunting our own headquarters building.
There's a very powerful energy stalking us.
We need you to make the big light light up.
Whoa!
There's something walking around here.
Ben, we got a crisis on our hands at the station.
