IN THE CANADIAN CITY OF MONTREAL
IN THE FALL OF 1996...
SINGLE MOTHER KELLY FONTAINE AND
HER 6-YEAR-OLD DAUGHTER HALEY
FANTASIZE ABOUT LIVING IN A BIG
HOUSE.
>> 1, 2, 3!
>> WE WOULD WALK ALONG AND PICK
A STREET.
AND SHE'D PICK HER FAVORITE
HOUSE, AND I'D PICK MY FAVORITE
HOUSE.
THAT WAS KIND OF A GAME WE
ALWAYS PLAYED.
>> Narrator: OUT OF CONCERN FOR
HER FAMILY, KELLY AGREED TO BE
INTERVIEWED ONLY ON THE
CONDITION OF ANONYMITY.
>> WE BOTH SEEMED TO LIKE THIS
HOUSE.
EVERY OTHER STREET, I WOULD LIKE
ONE AND SHE'D LIKE A DIFFERENT
ONE.
I GUESS THAT'S WHY THIS GAME
CAME ABOUT, BECAUSE WE ALWAYS
DREAMED OF LIVING IN A NICE
HOUSE.
>> SOMEDAY, WE ARE GONNA HAVE A
HOUSE JUST LIKE THIS.
>> Narrator: FOR MORE THAN A
YEAR, KELLY HAS BEEN DATING
CONSTRUCTION SUPERVISOR
AL GOODWIN.
>> WE SEEMED TO JUST CONNECT
REALLY WELL.
AND THERE WAS NEVER ANYTHING WE
COULDN'T TALK ABOUT.
IT WAS GREAT.
>> Narrator: AL SAYS HE'S FOUND
THE IDEAL HOUSE FOR THEM TO LIVE
IN TOGETHER.
AND THEN ODD COINCIDENCE, IT'S
THE SAME HOUSE THAT KELLY AND
HER DAUGHTER HAD BOTH PICKED A
FEW DAYS EARLIER.
>> YOU KNOW THAT OLD PLACE ON
SYCAMORE?
>> THAT'S OUR FAVORITE.
>> OH, MY GOSH, WE LOVE THAT
HOUSE.
>> WELL, THEN, THAT'S PERFECT.
>> WHEN WE FOUND OUT IT WAS THIS
HOUSE, WE WERE JUST SO EXCITED
ABOUT IT.
>> WE THOUGHT, "THIS IS THE
PLACE WHERE WE'RE GONNA BE VERY,
VERY HAPPY FOR A LONG TIME."
>> OOH, WOW.
I LOVE THE YELLOW.
IT'S GREAT.
>> Narrator: BEFORE MOVING IN,
AL AND KELLY HAVE THE ROOMS
REPAINTED.
>> IF WE HAVE A BABY...
>> WHEN WE HAVE A BABY.
>> Narrator: THEY BEGIN PLANNING
HOW TO DECORATE THE NURSERY.
>> BABY'S CHANGING TABLE RIGHT
HERE.
>> OUR DREAM WAS TO START
ANOTHER FAMILY, TO GIVE HALEY A
BROTHER OR SISTER, AND HAVE
ANOTHER BABY.
AND EVERYTHING JUST SEEMED SO --
LIKE IT WAS GOING WONDERFUL FOR
US.
>> MMM.
[ FLOOR CREAKING ]
[ FOOTSTEPS ]
DID YOU HEAR THAT?
>> YEAH.
LET'S CHECK IT OUT.
>> WE HEARD SOMEBODY COMING UP
THE STAIRS.
AND THERE WAS NOBODY THERE.
>> MAYBE IT WAS NOTHING.
>> WE LOOKED ALL AROUND AND
DIDN'T SEE ANYONE OR ANYTHING.
AND WE JUST KIND OF SAID, "WELL,
IT'S AN OLD HOUSE.
MAYBE THERE'S GONNA BE NOISES WE
HAVE TO GET USED TO."
>> I'LL CHECK OVER HERE.
>> Narrator: A FEW WEEKS LATER,
AL IS AT WORK AND HALEY IS AT
SCHOOL.
[ TELEPHONE RINGING ]
>> HELLO?
>> Narrator: KELLY GETS A CALL
FROM HER DOCTOR.
>> WOW. ARE YOU SURE?
>> Narrator: SHE'S PREGNANT.
>> THAT'S GREAT NEWS.
YEAH, OKAY.
>> I WAS JUST TIDYING UP.
[ FOOTSTEPS ]
I HEARD FOOTSTEPS IN THE SAME
ROOM AS ME.
BUT I THOUGHT, "OKAY, I'M NOT
GONNA OVERREACT."
I JUST KIND OF PRETENDED IT
DIDN'T HAPPEN AND CARRIED ON
WITH WHAT I WAS DOING.
>> Narrator: THAT EVENING, KELLY
BREAKS THE NEWS TO AL.
>> I'M PREGNANT.
>> Narrator: SHE ALSO TELLS HIM
ABOUT THE EERIE FOOTSTEPS.
>> AND I DIDN'T WANT TO MAKE IT
LIKE I WAS THIS NERVOUS WRECK
KIND OF PERSON.
OUR RELATIONSHIP LIVING TOGETHER
WAS STILL SO NEW THAT I DIDN'T
WANT TO SOUND LIKE I WAS CRAZY.
>> I MEAN, THERE'S NOBODY THERE.
I JUST -- HEARD FOOTSTEPS.
>> I COULDN'T BELIEVE IT.
I JUST COULDN'T BELIEVE IT.
>> MAYBE IT'S SOMEBODY WALKING
OUTSIDE.
>> YEAH. MAYBE.
[ FOOTSTEPS ]
>> THEN I THOUGHT, "YEAH,
THERE'S SOMETHING GOING ON IN
HERE."
>> Narrator: KNOWING THERE ARE
NO INTRUDERS IN THE HOUSE, AL
CALLS A FRIEND --
RICHARD PALMISANO, WHO WORKS AS
A PARANORMAL RESEARCHER IN HIS
SPARE TIME.
AL BELIEVES RICHARD IS THE IDEAL
PERSON TO RESOLVE THE MYSTERY OF
THE PHANTOM FOOTSTEPS.
>> HEY, RICHARD, HOW YOU DOING?
>> THEY WERE VERY WORRIED.
THEY JUST SIGNED THE LEASE FOR A
NEW PLACE.
THEY HAD A SMALL CHILD.
THEY WERE CONCERNED THEY WERE
GETTING INTO SOMETHING THEY
SHOULDN'T BE GETTING INTO.
>> Narrator: AL ARGUES THAT
THERE'S PROBABLY A SIMPLE
EXPLANATION FOR THE SOUNDS.
>> HE WAS SORT OF HOPING IT
WASN'T PARANORMAL.
HE WANTED TO HAVE SOME
REASONABLE EXPLANATION FOR WHAT
WAS GOING ON.
I'VE INVESTIGATED PHENOMENA
WHERE IT WAS JUST MICE OR, YOU
KNOW, THE HOUSE SETTLING.
THEN WE CAN IDENTIFY THE CAUSE.
>> Narrator: RICHARD SUGGESTS
TRYING TO RECORD THE SOUNDS IN
THE HOUSE WHEN IT IS EMPTY.
THE NEXT DAY, KELLY PREPARES TO
LEAVE TO PICK UP HER DAUGHTER
HALEY FROM SCHOOL.
>> I'M LEAVING NOW.
>> I DELIBERATELY WALKED WITH
HEAVY FOOTSTEPS DOWN THE STAIRS.
AND I SLAMMED THE DOOR SO THAT
ANYTHING THAT HAPPENED PAST THAT
POINT OF THE DOOR SLAMMING, THEY
WOULD KNOW WASN'T ME.
>> Narrator: THAT NIGHT WHEN AL
AND RICHARD GET OFF WORK, THEY
RETRIEVE THE TAPE RECORDER.
>> I DID NOT TOUCH THE TAPE
RECORDER.
I DID NOT REWIND IT.
I DIDN'T WANT TO BE THE ONE TO
FIND OUT WHETHER THERE WAS
ANYTHING ON IT OR NOT.
>> I'M LEAVING NOW.
>> Narrator: WHAT THEY HEAR ON
THE TAPE TAKES THEM ALL BY
SURPRISE.
>> YOU COULD HEAR A TINKLING
THAT SOUNDED LIKE A CHARM
BRACELET AND THEN THE FOOTSTEPS
STOPPED.
[ VOICE MUMBLES ]
IT WAS ALMOST -- NOT EVEN A
HUMAN SOUND.
IT WAS AWFUL.
IT WAS JUST AWFUL.
>> I LOOKED AT AL, AND I DIDN'T
NEED TO TELL HIM HE HAD
SOMETHING IN THE HOUSE.
HE ALREADY KNEW FROM THE TAPE
THERE WAS SOMETHING UNSEEN
ROAMING THAT HOUSE.
>> Narrator: AL REPLAYS THE
EERIE RECORDING.
PARANORMAL RESEARCHER
RICHARD PALMISANO.
>> YOU HEAR FOOTSTEPS COMING
DOWN THE STAIRS, JUST BARE FEET.
AND YOU CAN HEAR BRACELETS
JINGLING.
[ VOICE SIGHS ]
THEN THERE'S A SIGH.
AND THE SIGH IS ALMOST LIKE
ABANDONMENT OF A CHILD.
>> IT WAS ACTUALLY VERY
OVERWHELMING TO THINK THAT, YOU
KNOW, YOU HAVE A SPIRIT IN YOUR
HOUSE AND NOW YOU HAVE NO CHOICE
BUT TO BELIEVE IN SOMETHING YOU
NEVER BELIEVED IN BEFORE.
>> WHO DO YOU THINK IT IS?
>> IT DEFINITELY SOUNDS FEMALE
TO ME.
>> I BET IT WAS --
>> Narrator: AL TELLS RICHARD
THAT HE HAD MET THE HOUSE'S
PREVIOUS OCCUPANTS, A WOMAN AND
HER 15-YEAR-OLD DAUGHTER.
HE SAYS THAT THE DAUGHTER WORE A
CHARM BRACELET.
AND HE THINKS THE VOICE ON THE
TAPE SOUNDS LIKE HER.
>> HERE'S WHAT I HEARD.
>> Narrator: BOTH THE MOTHER AND
DAUGHTER WERE FORCIBLY EVICTED
FOR FAILURE TO PAY RENT.
AL SAYS THE MOTHER WAS A DRUG
ABUSER WHO DRESSED PROVOCATIVELY
AND HUNG OUT IN BARS.
>> NOTICE TO VACATE!
>> Narrator: HER MANY LOVERS AND
UNPAID BILLS MADE LIFE DIFFICULT
FOR HER DAUGHTER.
AL SAYS HE HEARD THAT AFTER
MOVING TO AN APARTMENT, THE
MOTHER CONTINUED TO FREQUENT
BARS.
>> I KNEW THE MOTHER, AND SHE
WASN'T A VERY GOOD PERSON.
>> BYE, MOM.
>> DON'T WAIT UP AND STAY OUT OF
TROUBLE.
>> SHE WAS INTO A LOT OF DRUGS.
>> Narrator: THE 15-YEAR-OLD
GIRL BECAME INCREASINGLY
DESPERATE ABOUT HER MOTHER'S
DESTRUCTIVE BEHAVIOR.
THE GIRL DECIDED THAT DEATH WAS
NOT THE RIGHT ANSWER AND CALLED
911.
>> I NEED SOME HELP.
>> Narrator: BUT THE AMBULANCE
ARRIVED TOO LATE TO SAVE HER.
>> I DON'T THINK SHE WAS REALLY
TRYING TO KILL HERSELF.
>> IT SEEMED LIKE IT WAS A CRY
FOR HELP AND NOT THAT SHE REALLY
WANTED TO KILL HERSELF.
IT SEEMED LIKE SHE WAS TRYING TO
GET HER MOTHER'S ATTENTION.
>> I THINK YOU'RE RIGHT.
>> WE KIND OF PUT TWO AND TWO
TOGETHER.
AND THE THREE OF US BELIEVED THE
GIRL HAD COME BACK TO THE HOUSE
SEEKING HER MOTHER AND, MOST
LIKELY, FOLLOWING KELLY AROUND
AS A MOTHER IMAGE.
>> AL JUST KIND OF REALLY GOT
CURIOUS ABOUT IT.
I WAS A BIT CURIOUS, BUT I WAS
MUCH MORE AFRAID THAN I WAS
CURIOUS.
>> Narrator: DURING THE DAYS AND
NIGHTS THAT FOLLOWED, WHENEVER
THE HOUSE IS EMPTY, AL AND
RICHARD LEAVE TAPE RECORDERS
RUNNING.
>> AND WHEN NO ONE'S AROUND AND
THE HOUSE IS QUIET, THEY'LL
TALK.
THEY'LL DO THINGS.
[ TELEPHONE RINGS ]
>> YOU COULD HEAR A PHONE
RINGING.
>> YEAH, IT'S ME.
>> AND HER ANSWERING THE PHONE.
AND YOU COULD HEAR HER SIDE OF
THE CONVERSATION.
>> [ TALKING INDISTINCTLY ]
I KNOW.
>> IT WAS COMPLETELY OBVIOUS IT
WAS THIS GIRL.
>> Narrator: RICHARD RETURNS ONE
SATURDAY NIGHT TO INVESTIGATE
FURTHER.
KELLY ARRANGES FOR HALEY TO STAY
WITH FRIENDS TO KEEP HER FROM
BEING FRIGHTENED BY THE MEN'S
ACTIVITIES.
AL AND RICHARD SET UP THEIR
EQUIPMENT IN KEY LOCATIONS
AROUND THE HOUSE.
>> WE WERE RUNNING VIDEO
UPSTAIRS.
WE HAD TAPE RECORDERS RECORDING
UPSTAIRS.
WE HAD TAPE RECORDERS DOWNSTAIRS
OPERATING.
>> I'M GLAD YOU COULD COME OVER.
>> Narrator: RICHARD'S WIFE
ARRIVES TO KEEP KELLY COMPANY.
>> I'M GOING TO GET THE COFFEE.
AND IF YOU DON'T MIND, THE CARDS
ARE IN THE CLOSET.
>> Narrator: THEY DECIDE TO PLAY
CARDS.
>> HERE YOU GO.
>> THANK YOU.
YOUR CLOSET IS FREEZING COLD.
>> IT WAS REALLY STRANGE THAT
THE CLOSET WOULD BE COLD BECAUSE
ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE WALL
THERE WAS A HOT-WATER HEATER AND
THE PIPE WENT THROUGH THAT
CLOSET AND THAT CLOSET WAS
ALWAYS HOT.
>> HEY, WE DECIDED WE WERE GOING
TO PLAY SOME BRIDGE.
>> OKAY.
>> YOU DEAL FIRST.
>> THANK YOU.
>> VERY NICE.
[ CREAKING ]
[ INDISTINCT VOICE ]
>> Narrator: AL AND RICHARD ARE
EAGER TO LISTEN TO THE TAPES.
>> AH!
>> WHAT'S WRONG?
>> AND SOMETHING HIT ME.
MY ENTIRE BODY WAS JUST
TINGLING.
AND I COULDN'T SEE.
MY EYES WERE WATERING.
I WAS DISORIENTED.
>> AND I SAID, "WHAT'S WRONG?"
AND HE SAID, "IT'S LIKE
SOMETHING RAN THROUGH ME."
>> CAN I GET YOU SOMETHING, SOME
WATER, AN ASPIRIN, ANYTHING?
>> NO, IT'S ALL RIGHT.
>> LET'S LISTEN.
>> I'M CURIOUS WHAT'S ON THERE.
>> DON'T YOU TURN YOUR BACK ON
ME.
I WILL GET YOU.
>> IT'S LIKE SOMETHING JUST WENT
RIGHT THROUGH ME.
>> ARE YOU OKAY?
>> OH, MAN.
>> THERE WAS ONLY AL AND I
UPSTAIRS, SO WHERE THIS VOICE
CAME FROM, I DON'T KNOW.
[ FOOTSTEPS ]
>> [ SCREAMS ]
>> THIS DOOR HAS AN OLD HABIT OF
OPENING BY ITSELF.
>> AL --
>> KELLY AND RICHARD'S WIFE --
THEY SAID, "THAT'S ENOUGH.
WE'RE NOT STAYING HERE TONIGHT."
IT WAS THAT BAD.
EVERYBODY WAS JUST TOO SCARED.
>> Narrator: AL, KELLY, RICHARD,
AND HIS WIFE RETURNED TO THE
HAUNTED HOUSE AFTER A
FRIGHTENING EXPERIENCE THE NIGHT
BEFORE.
>> I DON'T KNOW, I JUST --
>> Narrator: KELLY REMAINS
UNNERVED.
>> RICHARD AND I WILL CHECK IT
OUT FIRST.
>> I WAS TOO AFRAID AT THAT
POINT TO LEARN ANY MORE THAT WAS
GOING ON.
>> Narrator: AL AND RICHARD
VENTURE INTO THE HOUSE TO FACE
THE UNKNOWN.
THE TWO MEN FIND NOTHING UNUSUAL
UNTIL THEY GO TO THE SECOND
FLOOR.
>> WE WENT THROUGH THE HOUSE,
UPSTAIRS, ONLY TO FIND ALL THESE
BLACK SKID MARKS THROUGHOUT THE
ROOMS.
>> IT CERTAINLY WOULD EXPLAIN
HOW BAD IT WAS LAST NIGHT.
>> THE ONLY THING I CAN REASON
IS SOME OTHER ENTITY, SOME MALE
ENTITY IN THIS HOUSE, WAS
CHASING THIS GIRL.
AND SHE WAS TRYING TO GET AWAY.
KELLY WANTED OUT, AND AL WANTED
TO KNOW MORE.
>> THIS IS JOHN, THE
CLAIRVOYANT --
>> Narrator: A FEW WEEKS LATER,
RICHARD INVITES A CLAIRVOYANT TO
SEE IF HE CAN HELP.
>> LET ME GIVE YOU A LITTLE BIT
OF BACKGROUND.
I'VE HAD THIS ABILITY TO SENSE
SPIRITS --
>> Narrator: THE CLAIRVOYANT,
JOHN, HAS BEEN ABLE TO SENSE THE
PRESENCE OF SPIRITS SINCE
CHILDHOOD.
HE'S COMMUNICATED WITH THE DEAD
IN MORE THAN 1,000 READINGS.
>> ...HIERARCHY OF GHOSTS.
>> THE PENDULUM IS AN INSTRUMENT
I'VE USED FOR YEARS.
SOME PEOPLE REFER TO IT AS A
DOUSING TOOL.
IT GIVES A SENSE OR FEELING
THROUGH YOUR HAND, ALMOST LIKE A
CURRENT OF ELECTRICITY.
>> ...THE SPIRIT WORLD.
IT'S AN ANCIENT METHOD THAT...
>> Narrator: PENDULUMS HAVE BEEN
EMPLOYED FOR MILLENIA TO DETECT
IMPERCEPTIBLE VIBRATIONS AND
OFTEN TO COMMUNICATE WITH
SPIRITS.
JOHN EXPLAINS THAT HE ASKS
QUESTIONS AND THAT THE SPIRITS
MOVE THE PENDULUM CLOCKWISE FOR
"YES" AND COUNTERCLOCKWISE FOR
"NO."
>> I'VE HAD IT MOVING SO
STRONGLY THAT I'VE HAD TO HOLD
ON OR IT WOULD HAVE FLOWN OUT OF
MY HAND.
>> IS THERE A SPIRIT HERE THAT
WOULD LIKE TO COMMUNICATE?
>> I DID GET A POSITIVE
RESPONSE.
>> ARE YOU A MALE SPIRIT?
>> THE PENDULUM INDICATED A VERY
STRONG "YES."
>> YES.
CAN YOU TELL ME ABOUT IT?
>> THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN, BOOM,
FEAR WOULD COME RIGHT THROUGH
ME.
>> WHOEVER WAS SPEAKING TO US IS
NOW TERRIFIED.
NOT TONIGHT.
>> Narrator: JOHN TELLS THEM
THAT THE DARK ENTITY HAS
SILENCED THE OTHER SPIRITS.
>> WE CAN TRY AGAIN.
>> I THINK THAT JUST COMPLETELY
SPARKED AL AND RICHARD'S
CURIOSITY, AND THEY JUST WANTED
TO CONTINUE AND DO AS MUCH
INVESTIGATING AS POSSIBLE TO
FIND OUT WHAT WAS GOING ON AND
HOW -- HOW WE COULD CHANGE IT.
>> Narrator: A FEW NIGHTS LATER,
JOHN RETURNS FOR ANOTHER TRY.
>> I USUALLY RUN EQUIPMENT AT
THE SAME TIME AND THEN
AFTERWARDS I WOULD REVIEW THE
TAPE AND I WOULD HEAR THE OTHER
SIDE OF THE CONVERSATION.
>> IS THERE A SPIRIT HERE WHO
WISHES TO COMMUNICATE?
DO YOU KNOW THE NAME...
>> Narrator: THE CLAIRVOYANT
TRIES TO FIND OUT MORE ABOUT THE
DARK ENTITY.
>> I SPECIFICALLY REMEMBER
ASKING, "DOES HE HAVE A NAME?
DO YOU KNOW HIS NAME?"
AND THE ANSWER CLEARLY WAS --
AND THEN IS WHEN THE PENDULUM
BEGAN TO ACCELERATE IN ITS
INTENSITY -- "YES."
>> PLEASE INDICATE WHEN I GET TO
THE FIRST LETTER OF HIS NAME.
"A," "B,"
"C," "D," "E."
GOOD. FIRST LETTER IS "E."
NOW FOR THE SECOND LETTER.
"A," "B," "C."
"C."
HE'S HERE.
"A," "B," "C."
>> HE'S COMING.
IT'S EDWARD!
>> THAT NIGHT WHAT WE GOT ON
TAPE WAS VERY CLEARLY...
>> YOU DIDN'T TELL THEM MY NAME,
DID YOU?
>> "YOU DIDN'T GIVE THEM MY
NAME, DID YOU?"
>> DID YOU?!
[ WOMAN SCREAMS ]
>> I DON'T WANT ANY PART OF THIS
ANYMORE.
>> Narrator: KELLY FINDS IT
TERRIFYING.
>> WE WANT TO GET RID OF THIS
GHOST.
>> I SAID, "I DON'T WANT TO KNOW
ANYTHING THAT'S GOING ON
ANYMORE."
BECAUSE I WAS JUST TOO AFRAID.
>> Narrator: RICHARD BEGINS
RESEARCHING THE HISTORY OF AL
AND KELLY'S HOME.
HE DISCOVERS THAT IN THE 1930s
AND '40s, IT WAS HOME TO THE
HIRED HELP FOR A NEARBY MANSION.
HE ALSO DISCOVERS THAT THE
MANSION WAS MANAGED BY A MAN
NAMED EDWARD, THE SAME NAME
HEARD ON THE TAPE.
EDWARD HAD BEEN APPOINTED TO
MANAGE THE HUGE ESTATE DURING
WORLD WAR II.
>> THERE'S STREAKS.
WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?!
>> Narrator: HE QUICKLY BECAME A
BRUTAL TYRANT.
>> I WILL TEACH YOU TO OBEY.
>> DON'T EVER TOUCH ME.
>> HE WAS A MEAN-SPIRITED
INDIVIDUAL.
HE WOULD TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE
FEMALE WORKERS ON THE PROPERTY.
HE THOUGHT HE WAS VERY POWERFUL.
>> SO RICHARD WAS DOING SOME
RESEARCH, AND HE FOUND OUT THERE
REALLY WAS AN EDWARD.
>> Narrator: AL TRIES TO TELL
KELLY ABOUT THEIR RESEARCH.
>> STOP IT!
I DON'T WANT TO HEAR IT.
COME ON.
>> Narrator: A FEW HOURS LATER,
KELLY FINDS HERSELF ALONE IN THE
HOUSE.
[ DOORKNOB CREAKING ]
>> [ SCREAMS ]
>> IT SEEMED LIKE THIS --
WHATEVER IT WAS -- WAS REALLY
TRYING TO SCARE US NOW.
>> HE WAS HERE AGAIN TODAY.
I WAS COMING OUT OF THE
BATHROOM.
>> Narrator: THAT NIGHT, KELLY
TELLS AL WHAT'S HAPPENED TO HER.
>> IT WAS REALLY PRETTY SCARY.
>> Narrator: THE NEWS FRUSTRATES
HIM.
>> I'M GOING TO...
>> Narrator: HIS DESIRE TO PUT
AN END TO THE HAUNTING HAS BEGUN
TO DRIVE A WEDGE BETWEEN THE TWO
OF THEM.
>> LOOK, WHY DON'T WE JUST
CANCEL OUR LEASE AND MOVE OUT?
>> AL SEEMED LIKE HE WAS
POSSESSED AT TIMES.
>> AND GIVE UP OUR DREAM HOME?
>> I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND WHAT WAS
DRIVING HIM TO WANT TO STAY
THERE AND GET TO THE BOTTOM OF
IT.
>> I'M GONNA GET OUR HOME BACK.
>> Narrator: AL CONVINCES KELLY
THAT EDWARD IS SOMEHOW THE KEY
TO BRINGING ALL THE TERRIFYING
EXPERIENCES TO AN END.
>> WHAT ABOUT HALEY?
>> Narrator: HE PROMISES THAT
WHILE HE TRIES TO SOLVE THE
MYSTERY, HE WILL PROTECT BOTH
HER AND HALEY.
>> HE REASSURED ME THAT THEY
WERE SO CLOSE TO PUTTING THE
PUZZLE TOGETHER AND SOLVING IT,
THAT HE WAS VERY CONFIDENT THAT
IT WOULD STOP.
>> OKAY.
>> I COULDN'T REALLY DESCRIBE
WHY I CHOSE TO STAY WHEN I
SHOULD HAVE BEEN OUT OF THERE.
>> DID YOU HEAR THAT?
>> Narrator: WHENEVER AL HEARS
AN UNUSUAL SOUND, HE SNAPS A
PHOTO...
HOPING TO CAPTURE IMAGES FROM
THE SPIRIT WORLD.
>> CHECK IT OUT.
HERE ARE THE PICTURES I TOLD YOU
ABOUT.
>> Narrator: AL SHOWS ONE OF THE
PHOTOS TO RICHARD AND JOHN.
>> I REMEMBER JUST SEEING INFANT
FACES.
THIS IS NOT US IMAGINING.
THERE'S ONE FACE.
THERE'S A FACE, THERE'S A FACE,
THERE'S A FACE, THERE'S A FACE.
>> Narrator: ONE NIGHT, HALEY
GOES DOWNSTAIRS TO GET A DRINK
OF WATER.
>> AL?
>> TELL ME WHAT'S WRONG.
>> Narrator: HER TERROR MAKES IT
DIFFICULT FOR HER TO TALK.
>> AND I SAW SOMEONE.
I THOUGHT IT WAS AL, BUT IT
WASN'T.
>> I WAS PETRIFIED FOR MY
DAUGHTER.
SHE WAS YOUNG.
SHE WAS SO INNOCENT.
>> IT'S OKAY, SWEETIE.
>> MAYBE IT COULD HAVE BEEN A
NIGHTMARE.
>> NO, I SAW HIM.
HE WAS WALKING TOWARDS ME.
>> Narrator: THE NEXT MORNING...
[ VACUUM STOPS ]
>> I THOUGHT, "OKAY, THE CORD'S
STILL HERE.
I DIDN'T PULL IT OUT OF THE
WALL.
THIS IS STRANGE."
>> [ GASPING ]
AL? IT'S ME.
I NEED YOU TO COME HOME.
NO, I NEED YOU TO COME HOME
RIGHT NOW.
NO, I'M SERIOUS.
I'M NOT LEAVING THE BEDROOM
UNTIL YOU GET HERE!
PLEASE, JUST COME HOME.
OKAY.
>> I JUST -- I SAT ON THE BED,
AND I WAS PETRIFIED.
[ FOOTSTEPS ]
>> AH!
>> KELLY, IT'S ME -- AL.
OPEN THE DOOR.
I SEARCHED THE WHOLE HOUSE.
THERE'S NO ONE HERE.
NOTHING'S BEEN MOVED.
>> I DON'T CARE.
THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT.
IF YOU AND YOUR FRIENDS HADN'T
STIRRED EVERYTHING UP.
IT'S JUST GETTING WORSE.
>> THAT'S NOT TRUE.
WE'RE TRYING TO GET RID OF THEM.
>> IT STARTED PUTTING A REALLY
BIG STRAIN ON OUR RELATIONSHIP
BECAUSE IT WAS LIKE HE WAS MORE
CONCERNED WITH THE UNKNOWN THAN
HE WAS FOR US.
>> KELLY...
>> AND I FELT VERY FRUSTRATED
THAT HE WAS SO INTO DOING THIS
AND FIGURING IT ALL OUT THAT HE
WAS PUTTING OUR FEELINGS ASIDE.
>> A FEW MORE WEEKS?
>> HE, AGAIN, CONVINCED ME THAT
THEY WERE JUST SO CLOSE TO
PUTTING THIS PUZZLE TOGETHER AND
THAT THINGS WERE GOING TO CHANGE
AND THINGS WOULD BE OKAY ONCE
THEY FIGURED IT OUT.
>> Narrator: AL, RICHARD, AND
JOHN DECIDE TO ONLY DO RESEARCH
OUTSIDE THE HOUSE, OUT OF
RESPECT FOR KELLY.
>> I SAW THAT SHE WAS VERY
NERVOUS.
SHE DIDN'T WANT TO DISTURB HER
HOUSEHOLD.
AT THE SAME TIME, HER HOUSEHOLD
WAS UNDER ATTACK AND SO WAS SHE.
>> Narrator: JOHN WARNS AL THAT
EVIL SPIRITS MAY BE TRYING TO
RUIN HIS RELATIONSHIP WITH
KELLY.
>> I DID SAY THIS TO AL -- "BE
CAREFUL WITH THE RELATIONSHIP
WITH YOUR WIFE."
BECAUSE VERY OFTEN THEY WILL DO
THINGS TO GET YOU ARGUING, TO
GET YOU FIGHTING, TO GET YOU TO
HURT EACH OTHER.
THEY FEED OFF THAT NEGATIVE
ENERGY.
THEY ALSO KNOW THAT, YOU KNOW,
THEY BREAK YOUR MARRIAGE UP,
YOU'RE LEAVING.
THE FACT THAT IT MANIFESTED
SOLID AS IT DID, I FELT IT WAS
SAYING, "OH, I KNOW YOU SEE ME.
I DON'T CARE.
I WANT YOU TO SEE ME.
I WANT YOU TO GET A GOOD LOOK AT
ME."
>> Narrator: AL TELLS THE OTHERS
THAT HE HEARD THAT A MAN LIVING
IN THE OLD MANSION NEXT DOOR HAD
REPEATEDLY SEEN THE DARK,
GHOSTLY FIGURE IN HIS BASEMENT
APARTMENT.
THE MAN MOVED OUT AFTER A
SECTION OF THE FLOOR IN HIS
BEDROOM MYSTERIOUSLY SANK.
>> IT'S INTERESTING THAT THIS
FIGURE IS SHOWING UP IN
DIFFERENT AREAS OF THE PROPERTY.
IT DOESN'T SEEM THAT HE JUST
SHOWED UP IN ONE ROOM OF THE
HOUSE.
I SAID, "WE NEED TO LOOK IN TO
IT."
>> THAT'S NOT GOOD.
>> Narrator: THEY DECIDE TO
INVESTIGATE.
>> Narrator: IN WHAT USED TO BE
AN OLD MANSION...
THREE MEN HUNT FOR CLUES TO A
HAUNTING.
>> WE BASICALLY MADE A PORTABLE
OUIJI BOARD, FOR LACK OF A
BETTER TERM.
"A," "B," "C," "D," "E"...AND
NUMBERS.
WE LAID THIS OUT ON THE FLOOR,
AND I USED THE PENDULUM.
I FELT WE WERE GONNA NEED MORE
THAN JUST YES OR NO DOWN HERE.
>> EVERYBODY READY?
>> YEAH.
>> IS THERE ANY SPIRIT HERE WHO
WISHES TO COMMUNICATE?
>> Narrator: JOHN CONTACTS THE
SPIRIT OF A 19-YEAR-OLD GIRL.
>> I ASKED THE YOUNG GIRL HER
NAME.
SHE VERY CLEARLY SPELLED OUT
"ANGELA."
>> HOW OLD WERE YOU WHEN YOU
DIED?
>> Narrator: JOHN DISCOVERS THAT
IN 1943, THE GIRL DIED ON THE
PROPERTY.
>> AND I ASKED HER, "WHAT IS IT
THAT CAUSED YOUR DEATH?"
AND THE WORD I GOT WAS "BLEED."
B-L-E-E-D, "BLEED."
AND THEN, VERY CLEAR, "MY BABY."
>> Narrator: JOHN LEARNS THAT
SHE HAD GONE TO SEE A DOCTOR.
SHE IDENTIFIES HIM AS THE
BUTCHER.
THE NEXT DAY, JOHN APPROACHES AN
EXPERT ON LOCAL HISTORY.
>> I CHECKED WITH A PROFESSOR AT
THE UNIVERSITY.
AND I ASKED HER, "CAN YOU TELL
ME ANYTHING ABOUT THIS NAME?"
AND SHE SAYS, "OH, THERE WAS A
VERY FAMOUS ABORTIONIST THAT
WORKED IN THE LOCAL AREA."
>> IT CAME UP IN SOME OF MY
RESEARCH.
>> WHAT?
>> Narrator: JOHN DEVELOPS A
THEORY ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED AT
THE ESTATE.
>> YOU'RE WELCOME.
>> THE DOCTOR HAD TO FLEE THE
U.S. BACK IN THE EARLY '40s.
AND THIS BUTLER, EDWARD, SAW A
BEAUTIFUL OPPORTUNITY THAT HE
COULD MAKE A LOT OF MONEY.
>> YOU CAN STAY AS LONG AS YOU
WANT.
>> THANK YOU.
>> I KNOW YOU DON'T WANT TO HEAR
ABOUT IT.
>> Narrator: AL TRIES TO TELL
KELLY ABOUT THEIR NEW THEORY.
>> I HAD A CRUCIFIX ON MY
NIGHTSTAND, AND IT LANDED WITH
SUCH FORCE THAT IT BROKE.
I WAS PETRIFIED.
I SAID, "NOW, THIS IS ENOUGH.
WE HAVE TO GET OUT OF HERE.
YOU KNOW, THIS IS -- THIS IS
INSANE."
>> I'M TOO SCARED TO GO TO BED
AT NIGHT AND WHEN I DO, I CAN'T
SLEEP ANYWAY.
WE NEED TO GET OUT OF HERE...
TOGETHER, AS A FAMILY.
>> COME ON OUT AND FACE ME!
COME ON!
>> Narrator: THE SHATTERING OF
THE CRUCIFIX FRUSTRATES AL.
>> THIS ISN'T GONNA HELP
ANYTHING.
HONEY, CALM DOWN.
>> I SAID, "YOU COME OUT.
YOU FACE ME.
WHERE ARE YOU? COME ON OUT."
NOTHING.
>> OH!
>> IS THIS IT?
>> UH-HUH.
>> OKAY, EASY.
LET'S GO. EASY.
>> Narrator: DESPITE THE
PRESSURES DURING HER PREGNANCY,
KELLY DELIVERS A HEALTHY BABY
GIRL.
THE COUPLE NAMES HER CHARITY.
TWO DAYS LATER, KELLY RETURNS
HOME WITH HER NEW DAUGHTER...
UNSURE OF WHAT AWAITS THEM.
>> Narrator: AT THE FORMER
MANSION, THE THREE MEN HUNT FOR
INFORMATION THAT WILL HELP THEM
EXPEL A POWERFUL, DARK ENTITY.
>> WE WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK WITH
ANGELA.
IS ANGELA HERE?
>> Narrator: JOHN CONTACTS THE
SPIRIT OF A GIRL WHO SAYS SHE
DIED IN 1943.
>> CAN YOU HELP US FIND YOUR
BODY?
>> HE ASKED THE QUESTION, "WELL,
COULD YOU GIVE US AN INDICATION
WHERE YOU'RE BURIED?"
AND THE PENDULUM, BEING ON A
CHAIN, STOOD STRAIGHT UP.
>> Narrator: THIS AMAZES
PARANORMAL RESEARCHER
RICHARD PALMISANO.
>> TOTALLY DEFIES PHYSICS.
IT JUST BOGGLES MY MIND.
IF I HAD NOT WITNESSED IT, I
PROBABLY WOULD NOT BELIEVE IT.
>> IS THIS WHERE YOU'RE BURIED?
IS THIS IT?
YES, THIS IS WHERE SHE'S BURIED.
>> Narrator: AL, JOHN, AND
RICHARD PIECE TOGETHER ANGELA'S
LAST HOURS.
SHE HAD GONE TO THE ESTATE FOR
AN ABORTION...
BUT THE PROCEDURE WAS BOTCHED,
NEARLY KILLING HER.
EDWARD AND THE DOCTOR CARRIED
THE DYING GIRL TO THE BASEMENT
AND DUG A SHALLOW GRAVE.
>> HE AND THE DOCTOR DUMPED HER
IN THE HOLE IN THE BASEMENT.
>> PLEASE.
>> TOSSED SOME LARGE ROCKS ON
HER, MAKE SURE SHE WAS DEAD.
AND THEN COVERED HER UP.
AND THIS 19-YEAR-OLD IS STILL
THERE, AND SHE WANTS TO BE
RELEASED.
SHE WANTS OUT OF THAT HOUSE.
>> THE NIGHTMARE IS ALMOST OVER.
>> Narrator: AL HAS A BACKGROUND
IN CONSTRUCTION.
HE TELLS THE OWNER HE WILL TEAR
UP THE SUNKEN FLOOR FOR FREE.
THE FLOOR HAS TO BE REPLACED
ANYWAY, SO THE OWNER AGREES.
>> WE WENT ABOUT 8 OR 9 INCHES
DEEPER.
AND WE FOUND THE FLAGSTONE THAT
MATCHED THE FLAGSTONE AROUND THE
FIREPLACE WHICH WAS IN THAT
ROOM.
>> GUYS, IT'S REALLY LATE.
>> Narrator: THE MEN NEED MORE
EQUIPMENT TO REMOVE THE HEAVY
STONES, SO THEY DECIDE TO
CONTINUE IN THE MORNING.
THE NEXT DAY, THE MEN RETURN TO
THE MANSION TO CONTINUE DIGGING.
>> HEY, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
>> Narrator: BUT THE OWNER HAS
HIRED WORKERS TO REPAIR THE
FLOOR.
THEY'VE ALREADY POURED NEW
CONCRETE.
>> WE SHOULDN'T HAVE STOPPED.
WE SHOULD HAVE KEPT GOING.
I COULD HAVE BEEN AS LITTLE AS 6
INCHES AWAY FROM A STARTLING
REVELATION, AND I BELIEVE SHE'S
STILL THERE.
>> Narrator: AL AND RICHARD ARE
FRUSTRATED THAT THEY CANNOT
CONTINUE THEIR SEARCH.
WITHOUT HARD EVIDENCE, THEY
CANNOT GO TO THE POLICE.
>> JOHN, YOU OKAY?
>> JOHN, WHAT IS IT?
>> DOES THAT FEEL BETTER, HONEY?
>> Narrator: MEANWHILE, KELLY
GETS CHARITY READY FOR HER BATH.
>> JOHN, WHAT IS IT?
>> REVENGE.
I THINK WE'VE MADE HIM MAD.
>> Narrator: JOHN SUDDENLY
SENSES THEY'VE DEEPLY ANGERED
THE DARK ENTITY.
>> ...NEWBORN.
>> KELLY!
>> WE'RE UP HERE IN THE NURSERY,
HONEY.
>> OH! OH, MY GOD!
>> KELLY.
>> OH, MY GOD.
THAT BOTTLE JUST FLEW ACROSS THE
ROOM.
IT CAME THIS CLOSE TO HITTING
HER.
IT COULD HAVE REALLY HURT HER.
>> I TOLD HIM THAT WAS IT.
>> NO, IT'S NOT OKAY!
>> WHAT?
>> "I'M TAKING THE GIRLS, AND
I'M GONE OR YOU CAN COME WITH ME
IF YOU WANT."
>> ...BUT I AM LEAVING.
I AM NOT GOING TO STAY HERE.
>> I THINK THAT'S WHEN AL
THOUGHT SOMETHING BAD'S GONNA
HAPPEN TO HER, TOO.
AND THAT'S WHEN HE REALLY
FINALLY AGREED THAT, "YEAH, IT'S
TIME FOR US TO GET OUT OF HERE."
>> I LOVE YOU.
LET'S MOVE.
>> Narrator: THE FAMILY FINALLY
MOVES OUT, LEAVING THE DARK
ENTITY IN CONTROL.
BUT EVEN TODAY, AL WISHES HE HAD
RESCUED ANGELA'S BONES AND LAID
TO REST THE MYSTERY BEHIND THE
HAUNTING.
>> THERE'S NO END FOR ME.
I DON'T THINK EVEN KELLY KNOWS
THAT.
I DON'T THINK I COULD EVEN TELL
HER ABOUT THAT.
IF I EVER FOUND OUT THAT I COULD
WALK IN THAT HOUSE AND -- I'D
PROBABLY DO IT AGAIN, JUST TO
FIND OUT.
