>> Narrator: IN THIS WORLD,
THERE IS REAL EVIL...
IN THE DARKEST SHADOWS AND IN
THE MOST ORDINARY PLACES.
THESE ARE THE TRUE STORIES OF
THE INNOCENT AND THE
UNIMAGINABLE.
MARIE POTTER KNOWS THAT HER
DAUGHTER, JULIE, HAS POWERS OF
PERCEPTION...
BEYOND THE FIVE SENSES.
IN PROFOUND SILENCE, SOMETHING
UNKNOWABLE SPEAKS TO HER,
SOMETHING THAT TORMENTS THE
FAMILY...
>> OH! OH!

DESTROY EVERYTHING THEY HOLD
SACRED.
BETWEEN THE WORLD WE SEE AND THE
THINGS WE FEAR, THERE ARE DOORS.
WHEN THEY ARE OPENED, NIGHTMARES

THE HUDSON VALLEY OF
UPSTATE NEW YORK HAS LONG BEEN
RUMORED TO BE A LAND OF GHOSTS
AND DEMONS.
EARLY DUTCH EXPLORERS NAMED IT
"THE DEVIL'S PLAYGROUND."
AND PIONEERS TOLD STORIES OF
TERRIFYING SUPERNATURAL
ENCOUNTERS.
EVEN TODAY, SOME INHABITANTS
REPORT HORRIFYING HAUNTINGS.
IN THE FALL OF 1998, SINGLE
MOTHER MARIE POTTER STRUGGLES TO
CARE FOR HER CHILDREN, PAUL,
ANGELA, AND JULIE.
>> YOU LOOK TIRED.
>> Narrator: JULIE SUFFERS FROM
A SEVERE BIRTH DEFECT.
>> THERE WE GO.
>> Narrator: SHE CANNOT WALK OR
TALK.
TO PROTECT HER IDENTITY, MARIE
APPEARS IN SHADOW.
>> HER COMPREHENSION SEEMED TO
BE OKAY, BUT HER EXPRESSIVE
ABILITIES WERE LESS.
HER COMMUNICATION WAS MORE
FACIAL EXPRESSIONS OR SOUNDS.
>> HERE WE GO.
THERE YOU ARE.
OKAY?
>> Narrator: THE FAMILY MOVED
INTO THE HOUSE THREE YEARS
EARLIER.
>> MOMMY WILL BE RIGHT BACK,
OKAY?
>> Narrator: EVER SINCE, JULIE
HAS SEEMED TO WATCH AND SMILE AT
UNSEEN VISITORS.
>> [ CHUCKLES ]
[ INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS ]
[ LAUGHS ]
>> TO ME, THE WAY SHE WAS
REACTING, IT LOOKED LIKE SOMEONE
WAS PLAYING PEEK-A-BOO THROUGH
THE WALL.
>> JULIE?
>> 'CAUSE SHE'D LOOK AT IT FUNNY
AND LOOK STARTLED WHEN IT WOULD
COME BACK.
I THOUGHT IT WAS...ANGELS.
>> Narrator: MARIE IS CONFIDENT
THAT, WHATEVER THE CAUSE OF
JULIE'S STRANGE BEHAVIOR, IT
DOESN'T POSE ANY THREAT TO HER
DAUGHTER.
>> I JUST ASSUMED IT WOULD BE
GOOD...
JUST 'CAUSE OF HOW SHE WAS.
>> Narrator: IN 1998, MARIE
VISITS HER CHILDHOOD
NEIGHBORHOOD IN BROOKLYN,
NEW YORK...
WHERE FRIENDS INTRODUCE HER TO
AN INTRIGUING STRANGER NAMED
CHRIS.
>> HE SEEMED DOWN-TO-EARTH AND
HONEST, AND HE HAD A GOOD SENSE
OF HUMOR, SO WE KIND OF HIT IT
OFF.
>> Narrator: CHRIS ADMIRES
MARIE'S GRIT AND DETERMINATION
AND IMMEDIATELY FALLS FOR HER.
>> SHE DOESN'T TAKE ANY GARBAGE
FROM ANYBODY, AND I KIND OF LIKE
THAT.
[ DOORBELL RINGS ]
>> Narrator: A FEW WEEKS LATER,
MARIE INVITES CHRIS TO HER
HOUSE.
>> HI.
GLAD YOU COULD MAKE IT.
>> Narrator: CHRIS HAS AN
OMINOUS FEELING AS SOON AS HE
STEPS THROUGH THE DOOR.
>> I FELT VERY CROWDED.
IT'S LIKE YOU'RE WALKING OUT
FROM OUTDOORS INTO A CLOSET --
THAT MUCH OF AN ATMOSPHERIC
FEELING, AS YOU WENT FROM A LOT
OF AIR TO NO AIR.
AND IT WAS A BIG, OPEN ROOM, SO
THERE SHOULD HAVE BEEN PLENTY OF
AIR.
>> Narrator: HE TRIES TO IGNORE
THE UNEASY FEELING.
>> THIS IS PAUL, AND THIS IS
ANGELA.
KIDS, THIS IS CHRIS.
>> THE KIDS AND I REALLY HIT IT
OFF.
THEY'RE WONDERFUL KIDS.
>> THIS...IS JULIE.
JULIE. JULIE, HONEY, I'D LIKE
YOU TO MEET CHRIS.
>> HI, JULIE.
>> SHE COULD KIND OF SEE THROUGH
YOU OR INTO YOU.
>> IT'S OKAY.
>> IF YOU WERE NOT NICE, SHE
WOULD KNOW.
>> IT'S REALLY NICE MEETING YOU.
>> SHE KIND OF GLANCED AT ME,
AND SHE GAVE ME A BIG SMILE, AND
I JUST SMILED BACK.
>> CAN I TALK TO YOU FOR A
MOMENT?
>> SURE.
>> Narrator: CHRIS DECIDES TO
TELL MARIE ABOUT THE UNEASY
FEELING HE GOT WHEN HE ENTERED
THE HOUSE.
HE EXPLAINS THAT, AS A TEENAGER,
HE STUDIED THE PARANORMAL AND
DISCOVERED THAT HE HAD A NATURAL
ABILITY TO SENSE SPIRITS.
>> WHAT TO YOU MEAN?
>> Narrator: CHRIS BELIEVES THAT
THERE IS SOME KIND OF
SUPERNATURAL ACTIVITY INSIDE
MARIE'S HOUSE.
>> LOOK, I'M NOT TRYING TO SCARE
YOU.
I JUST THINK THAT YOU HAVE
SOMETHING LIKE THAT IN THIS
HOUSE.
>> Narrator: MARIE ASSUMES THAT
CHRIS IS TALKING ABOUT WHATEVER
JULIE IS COMMUNICATING WITH,
WHAT MARIE THINKS OF AS ANGELS.
>> HE SAID, "THEY'RE NOT GOOD."
I THOUGHT, "WHY WOULD IT BE
BAD?"
IT DIDN'T MAKE ANY SENSE WHY IT
WOULD BE BAD.
[ INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS ]
[ CONVERSATIONS STOP ]
[ CONVERSATIONS RESUME ]
[ LAUGHTER ]
>> [ GASPS ]
>> MOMMY, THERE'S SOMEBODY IN MY
ROOM.
>> SHE CAME INTO MY ROOM.
"THERE'S A BOY WITH BLOND HAIR
IN MY ROOM.
I WANT HIM OUT."
>> SO, WHERE IS HE?
>> WELL, HE WAS RIGHT THERE.
>> SHE GOT ANGRY.
"HE WAS HERE!"
>> LET'S GO TO SLEEP.
>> SO, WHAT ABOUT YOUR JOB IN
THE CITY?
>> I COULD COMMUTE.
I MEAN, IT'S ONLY AN HOUR AND
10 MINUTES BY TRAIN.
>> Narrator: OVER THE FOLLOWING
WEEKS, MARIE AND CHRIS GROW
CLOSER.
>> I LIKE IT HERE.
>> Narrator: EVENTUALLY, HE
MOVES IN AND BECOMES A FATHER
FIGURE TO THE CHILDREN.
>> AND THEY WOULD START DOING
STUFF TO MAKE ME AND MARIE
HAPPY.
AND IF THEY DIDN'T WANT ME
THERE, THEY WOULD HAVE MADE IT
PAINFULLY OBVIOUS.
THEY WERE VERY OPEN.
AND ONCE THE RELATIONSHIP
STARTED, IT JUST BLOSSOMED.
>> CAN YOU PASS THOSE ROLLS DOWN
HERE?
>> YEAH.
>> YOU GUYS REALLY EXCITED ABOUT
GOING ON VACATION?
[ LAUGHTER ]
>> I DON'T SEE ANYTHING.
DO YOU?
[ SQUEAKING ]
>> THE NATURAL ASSUMPTION WAS
THAT IT MUST HAVE BEEN A FIGMENT
OF OUR IMAGINATION OR A GHOST.
>> I DON'T KNOW WHAT WE'RE GONNA
DO, BUT WE GOT TO DO SOMETHING.
>> I'VE GOT AN IDEA.
HAVE YOU EVER USED A
OUIJA BOARD?
>> Narrator: CHRIS BELIEVES THAT
A OUIJA BOARD WILL HELP HIM
COMMUNICATE WITH THE SPIRITS IN
THE HOUSE.
>> I WANTED TO FIND OUT IF THERE
WAS A MESSAGE THEY WERE TRY TO
TELL US, FIND OUT WHAT THEY
WANT.
>> Narrator: MARIE HAS DOUBTS.
>> "DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE
DOING?
'CAUSE I NEVER DID THIS."
HE'S LIKE, "OH, YEAH, I'VE USED
THIS BEFORE."
HE SAID TO ME, "THIS IS WHAT YOU
DO.
YOU PUT YOUR HANDS ON THE
PLANCHETTE, AND I'LL ASK THE
QUESTIONS, AND IT WILL MOVE."
>> IS A SPIRIT HERE THAT WISHES
TO SPEAK?
>> AND I SAID, "YEAH, OKAY."
SAID, "SURE."
IT'S NOT GONNA MOVE.
THAT DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE.
HOW CAN THIS THING MOVE ON ITS
OWN?
>> IS THERE A SPIRIT HERE THAT
WISHES TO SPEAK?
IS THERE A SPIRIT HERE THAT
WISHES TO SPEAK?
>> "YES."
CHRIS, IF YOU'RE DOING THAT...
>> I SAID, "YOU DID IT."
HE GOES, "NO, I DIDN'T MOVE IT."
>> I SWEAR TO GOD.
>> ARE YOU SURE YOU KNOW WHAT
YOU'RE DOING?
>> I'M SURE.
>> WHAT IS YOUR NAME?
>> "F"...
"R"...
"A"...
"N"...
"K."
FRANK!
>> FRANK, WHY ARE YOU HERE?
>> Narrator: THE PLANCHETTE
MOVES TO THE LETTERS "J" AND
"P."
>> THAT'S JULIE'S INITIALS.
HE WANTS JULIE.
>> WE DON'T KNOW THAT FOR SURE.
>> WELL, WHAT ELSE COULD IT BE?
>> FRANK, WHAT DO YOU WANT WITH
JULIE?
FRANK, WHY ARE YOU HERE?
>> THERE WAS NO RESPONSE FOR
THAT.
>> Narrator: CHRIS REFUSES TO
GIVE UP.
>> IS THERE A SPIRIT HERE THAT
WISHES TO SPEAK?
>> HE GOES, "OKAY, IS THERE
ANYBODY ELSE HERE?"
AND IT WENT TO "YES."
>> "YES."
>> AND HE SAID, "WHAT'S YOUR
NAME?"
AND IT WENT TO "ADAM."
AND HE ASKED, "WHO ARE YOU?"
AND IT SPELLED OUT THE WORD
"SON."
CHRIS FREAKED...
'CAUSE HIS EX-WIFE HAD ABORTED A
CHILD.
SO HE THOUGHT IT WAS HIS SON.
>> THAT'S WHEN I KIND OF GOT
FREAKED OUT.
AND THAT WAS LIKE, "WHY IS HE --
WHY ARE YOU FOLLOWING ME?"
AND IT WOULDN'T ANSWER.
>> WHAT IF IT'S MY SON?
WHAT IF IT'S MY SON?!
>> I SAID TO CHRIS -- I SAID,
"IT MIGHT NOT BE YOUR SON."
HE SAID, "IT IS.
I KNOW IT IS."
>> ADAM, ARE YOU HERE?
>> WE SHOULD HAVE STOPPED.
[ SCREECHING ]
>> DID YOU HEAR THAT?
>> HE SAID, "DID YOU HEAR THAT?"
"I DON'T HEAR ANYTHING.
WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?"
[ THUMPING ]
>> OH, MY GOD!
HOLD ON.
IT WAS BANGING UNDERNEATH THE
FLOOR OF THE KITCHEN...
AND THEN SOUNDS FROM THE HALLWAY
AND THE BASEMENT.
AND WAS LIKE, "WHAT IS GOING
ON?"
>> OH, MY GOD!
HOLD ON, CHRIS.
CHRIS!
>> THEY WERE TRYING TO DO
EVERYTHING THEY COULD TO START
SCARING US.
>> Narrator: A FEW DAYS LATER...
>> IT LOOKED LIKE PAINT, AND IT
FELT LIKE PAINT.
I ASKED THE KIDS.
AND THEY SAID, NO, IT WASN'T
THEM.
>> Narrator: MARIE KNOWS THERE
IS NO WHITE PAINT IN THE HOUSE.
AND THE HANDPRINTS DO NOT MATCH
THE SIZE OF HER CHILDREN'S
HANDS.
SHE HAS NO RATIONAL EXPLANATION.
CHRIS.
>> Narrator: MARIE AND CHRIS
BELIEVE THAT WHATEVER SPOKE TO
THEM THROUGH THE OUIJA BOARD IS
STILL IN THE HOUSE.
>> 555-2636.
[ TELEPHONE RINGS ]
>> Narrator: THEY SEEK HELP FROM
A LOCAL INVESTIGATOR WHO RUNS AN
INTERNET WEBSITE ABOUT THE
PARANORMAL.
>> YEAH, WE'VE SEEN WHAT WE
THINK IS A GHOST.
>> Narrator: THE INVESTIGATOR
SUGGESTS A WAY TO MAKE SURE
THEIR CHILDREN ARE NOT PLAYING
A PRANK.
>> TRY THIS.
>> SHE SAID, IF WE PUT BABY
POWDER ON THE GROUND THAT IT WAS
LIGHT ENOUGH TO BE DISTURBED BY
ENERGY GOING OVER IT.
>> A PASSING SPIRIT WILL LEAVE A
TRAIL.
>> Narrator: THE INVESTIGATOR
SAYS THAT TRACKS LEFT IN THE
POWDER WILL SHOW WHETHER OR NOT
THEY'RE DEALING WITH SOMETHING
SUPERNATURAL.
>> PUT DOWN FLOUR OR BABY
POWDER.
>> Narrator: THE NEXT MORNING,
CHRIS AND MARIE CALLED THE
PARANORMAL INVESTIGATOR TO THE
HOUSE.
>> ...BABY POWDER DOWN, LIKE YOU
TOLD US TO, AND THE NEXT
MORNING, IT WAS LIKE THIS.
THERE'S THE "J" THERE AND THE
"A" AND AN "F."
>> Narrator: THE INVESTIGATOR
TURNS PALE WHEN MARIE POINTS OUT
THE NAME WRITTEN IN THE POWDER.
>> WHAT CAN WE DO ABOUT IT?
>> DO EITHER OF YOU KNOW A
LILLITH?
>> NO.
>> I CAN'T HELP YOU ANYMORE.
>> WHY NOT?!
>> THAT'S MY DAUGHTER'S NAME.
>> SHE FELT THREATENED.
NOBODY KNEW HER DAUGHTER'S NAME.
>> Narrator: IT HAS BEEN WEEKS
SINCE MARIE AND CHRIS USED A
OUIJA BOARD TO COMMUNICATE WITH
SPIRITS INSIDE THEIR HOUSE.
EVER SINCE, MARIE HAS HAD
TROUBLE SLEEPING.
>> WHO ARE YOU?
>> I'M FRANK.
[ LAUGHS ]
>> FRANK WHO?
>> HE GOES, "YOU'RE SUCH A
STUPID WOMAN."
>> WHAT DO YOU WANT?
>> "YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING
ON."
>> YOU'RE TOO LATE.
>> HE GOES, "YOU CAN'T HELP
HER."
"WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
HELP WHO?"
"JULIE."
>> [ LAUGHS ]
>> YOU STAY AWAY FROM MY
DAUGHTER.
"YOU CAN'T HELP HER...
'CAUSE YOU'RE NOTHING."
[ BREATHING QUICKLY ]
>> WHAT'S THE MATTER?
>> THERE'S A MAN IN THE
BACKYARD.
HE WANTS JULIE.
>> IT'S OKAY.
IT'S JUST A DREAM.
>> NO.
>> IT IS.
>> NO, IT'S REAL.
>> IT'S OKAY.
>> Narrator: MARIE TRIES TO
DISMISS HER NIGHTMARES, HOPING
THAT THEY'RE SIMPLY A PRODUCT OF
ANXIETY.
[ RATTLING ]
>> [ SCREAMING ]
>> IS THAT PAUL?
PAUL, WHAT'S THE MATTER?
IT'S OKAY.
ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?
>> HE WAS CRYING.
AND HE KEPT SAYING, "THE FACE
CAME THROUGH THE WALL.
THE FACE CAME THROUGH THE WALL."
>> IT'S OKAY.
>> Narrator: MARIE FEELS
HELPLESS TO PROTECT HER FAMILY
FROM AN UNKNOWN ENTITY.
>> IT WAS JUST A DREAM.
>> I DIDN'T WANT THE KIDS
GETTING HURT.
DIDN'T REALLY CARE ABOUT ME, BUT
I DIDN'T WANT THEM GETTING HURT.
>> Narrator: THE NEXT DAY, MARIE
REARRANGES PAUL'S ROOM.
THE BOY REFUSES TO SLEEP WITH
HIS BED SET AGAINST THE WALL.
>> THERE WAS AN "F" ON THE
FLOOR.
AND IT LOOKED LIKE IT WAS
BURNED, AND I COULDN'T GET IT
OFF.
>> CHRIS!
>> I GOT CHRIS, AND I GO, "WHAT
IS THIS, AND WHY IS THIS HERE?"
HE GOES, "I DON'T KNOW."
>> Narrator: TO MARIE, IT SEEMS
LIKE PROOF THAT FRANK IS REAL.
CHRIS AND MARIE CONSIDER MOVING
TO A NEW HOUSE, BUT FEAR THAT
THEIR PROBLEMS ARE NOT ATTACHED
TO THE HOUSE, BUT TO JULIE.
>> JULIE.
>> IF I PICKED UP AND MOVED, I
WOULD LEAVE BRINGING HER WITH
ME.
COULDN'T LEAVE HER THERE BY
HERSELF.
SO IT WOULD JUST BE A NEW HOUSE,
SAME STUFF.
>> Narrator: NEITHER MARIE NOR
CHRIS WANT TO LEAVE THE HOUSE.
THEY SIMPLY WANT THEIR LIVES
BACK.
>> WHAT ABOUT ANOTHER
INVESTIGATOR?
>> IT WAS VERY TIRING 'CAUSE
YOU DON'T SLEEP.
YOU START THINKING YOU'RE NUTS.
IT ENDS UP BEING KIND OF LIKE
THIS BIG WHIRLWIND, AND YOU'RE
TRYING NOT TO BE SUCKED INTO THE
MIDDLE OF IT.
>> WE DECIDED TO MAKE A STAND.
WE WERE NOT GOING TO LET THIS
GUIDE OUR LIVES.
>> LET'S DO THIS TOGETHER.
>> IT'S 555...
>> Narrator: DESPERATE, THE
COUPLE CONTACTS ANOTHER
PARANORMAL INVESTIGATOR.
[ TELEPHONE RINGS ]
DAVE CONSIDINE IS A LAY
RELIGIOUS DEMONOLOGIST.
HE DRAWS ON THE POWER OF THE
CATHOLIC CHURCH TO COMBAT
HAUNTINGS.
>> TELL ME WHAT'S BEEN GOING ON.
>> I HAD FELT IN HER VOICE THAT
SHE WAS SINCERE.
SHE WAS TRYING TO GET THE
INFORMATION OUT TO ME AS QUICK
AS POSSIBLE AND WANTED US THERE
IMMEDIATELY.
>> ONE OF THEM IS DISABLED --
>> IT WAS JUST THAT SENSE OF
URGENCY, THAT SENSE OF FEAR IN
HER VOICE.
>> Narrator: DAVE BECOMES DEEPLY
CONCERNED WHEN HE LEARNS THAT
THE COUPLE USED A OUIJA BOARD.
>> A OUIJA BOARD IS BASICALLY AN
ORACLE, WHEREAS A SPIRIT CAN
ENTER THROUGH IT, A HUMAN SPIRIT
OR A DIABOLICAL SPIRIT.
>> Narrator: DAVE FEARS THAT THE
COUPLE HAS RELEASED A DEMONIC
SPIRIT INTO THEIR HOME.
HE'S EVEN MORE WORRIED WHEN HE
LEARNS THEY BURNED THE BOARD.
>> NEVER, EVER BURN A OUIJA
BOARD.
WHEN YOU BURN THAT OUIJA BOARD,
YOU'RE BURNING THE ORACLE IN A
PHYSICAL SENSE, BUT YOU HAVE NOT
CLOSED DOWN THE GATEWAY.
[ DOORBELL RINGS ]
>> HELLO.
>> Narrator: DEMONOLOGIST
DAVE CONSIDINE ARRIVES AT THE
HOUSE WITH A MEMBER OF HIS
INVESTIGATIVE TEAM, BARBIE HEID.
>> THERE WAS AN AIR ABOUT THE
HOUSE.
IT FELT LIKE SOMETHING
INTIMIDATING WAS BEHIND YOU.
IT WAS A VERY, VERY
UNCOMFORTABLE FEELING.
>> THIS IS JULIE.
JULIE?
THESE NICE PEOPLE HAVE COME TO
HELP US.
CAN YOU SAY HELLO?
JULIE, THESE NICE PEOPLE HAVE
COME TO HELP US.
CAN YOU SAY HELLO?
>> HI, JULIE.
>> WHEN I FIRST MET JULIE...
THERE WAS NO FEAR UPON HER FACE.
YOU ONLY SAW THE FEAR IN THE
OTHER MEMBERS OF THE FAMILY.
>> DO YOU MIND IF I LOOK AROUND
FOR A LITTLE BIT?
>> NOT AT ALL, PLEASE.
>> OKAY, I'M GOING TO SIT HERE
WITH JULIE.
>> THANK YOU.
>> Narrator: DAVE SENSES THAT
JULIE CAN SEE AND HEAR SPIRITS.
>> IT'S VERY RARE, BUT THERE ARE
SOME CHILDREN WHO ARE BORN
MEDIUMISTIC.
>> Narrator: THE INVESTIGATORS
INTERVIEW CHRIS AND MARIE
IN-DEPTH ABOUT WHAT HAS BEEN
HAPPENING.
>> PLEASE, TELL ME, WHAT HAVE
YOU SEEN?
>> WELL, MARIE'S BEEN HAVING BAD
NIGHTMARES.
>> IT LOOKED AS THOUGH THEY WERE
AT THE END OF THEIR ROPE.
>> I HAVE A NIGHTMARE OF THIS
MAN, MID-30s, DRESSED IN BLACK.
>> Narrator: INVESTIGATOR
BARBIE HEID SENSES THE FAMILY'S
FRUSTRATION.
>> "HOW LONG IS THIS GOING TO
TAKE?
WHAT CAN YOU DO?
HOW SOON CAN YOU GET THIS OUT OF
THE HOUSE?
WHAT'S THE BEST WAY TO PROTECT
THE CHILDREN?"
THE BEST YOU CAN DO IS SAY, "YOU
HAVE TO WORK WITH US AND BE
PATIENT WITH US."
>> AS BEST AS YOU CAN, DO NOT
SHOW ANGER OR FEAR.
>> HE SAID NOT TO ACKNOWLEDGE
IT...OR GIVE IT ANY RECOGNITION,
BECAUSE THAT GIVES IT POWER.
HE SAID ANGER OR FEAR FEEDS IT.
>> IT'S NOT THAT THEY'RE AFRAID
BECAUSE THERE'S THINGS HAPPENING
IN THE HOUSE.
THIS THING IS CENTERING ON THEIR
FEAR.
IT KNOWS WHAT SCARES YOU.
>> ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU.
>> THANK YOU FOR COMING.
I APPRECIATE IT.
>> Narrator: DAVE REALIZES THAT
IF THERE IS A DIABOLICAL SPIRIT
IN THE POTTERS' HOUSE, ITS MAIN
GOAL IS TO POSSESS AND DESTROY
THEM.
THE PARANORMAL INVESTIGATORS
RETURN...
WITH TWO ADDITIONAL
RESEARCHERS...
AND VIDEO AND AUDIO EQUIPMENT.
THEY HOPE TO DOCUMENT THE
SUPERNATURAL OCCURRENCES INSIDE
THE HOME, IN CASE THEY NEED TO
CONVINCE THE CATHOLIC CHURCH TO
BECOME INVOLVED.
TECHNICAL SPECIALIST JOHN AREL.
>> BEFORE WE CAN HAVE ANY SORT
OF INTERVENTION, WE HAVE TO
PRESENT THEM WITH ENOUGH
EVIDENCE -- SAY, "OKAY, HERE'S
WHAT'S GOING ON IN THE HOUSE."
>> Narrator: CHRIS HAS TAKEN
THE CHILDREN TO A MOTEL...
EXCEPT FOR JULIE.
SINCE JULIE WAS THE FIRST TO
ACKNOWLEDGE THE SUPERNATURAL
PRESENCE, THE INVESTIGATORS
BELIEVE THAT SHE MAY BE A SOURCE
OF ENERGY FOR THE SPIRITS.
THEY CONVINCE THE FAMILY THAT
SHE SHOULD REMAIN IN THE HOUSE
TO INCREASE THE LIKELIHOOD OF
PARANORMAL ACTIVITY.
THE INVESTIGATORS DIVIDE INTO
TWO TEAMS AND PLACE RECORDING
EQUIPMENT THROUGHOUT THE HOUSE.
>> I'LL PUT ON SOME COFFEE.
>> OKAY.
THANKS.
[ RUMBLING ]
>> I HEARD WHAT SOUNDED LIKE
BOWLING BALLS ROLLING AROUND
UPSTAIRS.
[ CEILING CREAKING ]
>> Narrator: THE INVESTIGATOR
KNOWS THAT NO ONE IS ON THE
SECOND FLOOR.
>> I GOT THIS FEELING THAT
SOMETHING OR SOMEBODY WAS
WATCHING ME.
[ CREAKING CONTINUES ]
>> DAVE.
DAVE, YOU THERE?
DAVE?
WE DEFINITELY NEED HOLY WATER
HERE.
>> STAND BY.
>> I NEED HOLY WATER.
>> STAND BY.
>> I'LL TAKE IT UP.
>> THANKS.
>> I GOT A COLD SWEAT ON MY
NECK.
I KNEW THERE WAS SOMETHING
BEHIND ME.
>> YOU OKAY?
>> I COULDN'T BELIEVE WHAT I WAS
SEEING.
>> BARBIE, YOU OKAY?
>> HEY, IS SHE ALL RIGHT?
>> THE NEXT THING I REMEMBER IS
EVERYBODY SURROUNDING ME.
>> BARBIE, ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?
WHAT HAPPENED?
HONEY?
WHAT HAPPENED?
ARE YOU ALL RIGHT, BARBIE?
>> SOMETHING YOU CAN'T GRASP OR
FIGHT AGAINST IS IN COMPLETE
CONTROL OF YOU.
>> BARBIE?
>> I'M FINE.
>> IT MAKES ME THINK IF IT JUST
DID THAT, IF IT JUST TOSSED ME
DOWN THE STAIRS, WHAT ELSE IS IT
CAPABLE OF?
>> I'LL BE FINE.
>> Narrator: THANKFULLY, BARBIE
IS UNHARMED.
>> I'LL JUST STAY HERE WITH
JULIE.
>> THE DIABOLICAL WILL DO THESE
PHYSICAL ATTACKS UPON THE
INVESTIGATORS IN THE HOME TO
CREATE FEAR, TO CREATE A SENSE
THAT...IT'S IN CONTROL, THAT YOU
HAVE NO RIGHT TO BE THERE AND
IT'S GOING TO DO TO YOU EXACTLY
WHAT IT'S DOING TO THE FAMILY.
IN A DIABOLICAL HAUNTING, ANYONE
WHO STEPS INTO THAT HOUSE IS IN
DANGER.
>> Narrator: DEMONOLOGIST
DAVE CONSIDINE KNOWS HE WILL
NEED HELP TO COMBAT A SPIRIT
THIS THREATENING.
>> AFTER WHAT JUST HAPPENED, I
SAY WE HAVE NO OTHER CHOICE BUT
TO GET THE CHURCH INVOLVED.
>> WELL, LET'S DO IT.
>> YOU SEE, IT'S NOT THAT
SIMPLE.
>> WE NEED TO KNOW EXACTLY WHAT
THIS IS TO BE ABLE TO BRING THE
PROPER AUTHORITIES INTO THE
HOUSE TO TAKE CARE OF THE
PROBLEM.
>> WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO COME
BACK HERE SEVERAL MORE TIMES TO
COLLECT ENOUGH EVIDENCE.
>> ENOUGH FOR WHAT?
>> ENOUGH EVIDENCE TO CONVINCE
THE CHURCH THAT THEY HAVE TO
COME HERE AND PERFORM AN
EXORCISM.
>> Narrator: WHEN THE
INVESTIGATORS RETURN, THEY BRING
A CLAIRVOYANT WITH THEM, HOPING
SHE CAN DETERMINE THE SPECIFIC
CAUSE OF THE HAUNTING.
>> I WAS NOT SURE IF WE WERE
DEALING WITH ONE PARTICULAR
SPIRIT, OR POSSIBLY, HUMAN
SPIRITS, THAT WERE RESIDING IN
THE HOME ALONG WITH THE
DIABOLICAL.
THAT'S WHY I BROUGHT IN SOMEONE
TO DISCERN THE HOME.
>> JOHN, I'M GOING TO WALK THE
HOUSE.
>> Narrator: THE CLAIRVOYANT IS
DRAWN TO ONE PARTICULAR ROOM.
>> OH.
>> IS EVERYTHING ALL RIGHT?
>> THERE'S A SPIRIT, AND HE'S
USING THIS CHILD AS A PORTAL.
>> SHE GOES, "HE USES HER."
AND I SAID, "WHAT ARE YOU
TALKING ABOUT?"
SHE GOES, "HE USES HER.
HE HIDES IN HER."
[ DOORKNOB CREAKING ]
>> OH!
>> I NEED SOME HELP HERE!
WHAT'S GOING ON?
WHAT'S WRONG?
ARE YOU OKAY?
>> THE LOOK ON THIS
CLAIRVOYANT'S FACE WAS A LOOK OF
A PREDATOR.
>> SHE'S...
LET'S CARRY HER OUT.
>> IT'S OKAY.
IT'S OKAY.
>> THE CLAIRVOYANT HAD...
>> IT'S ONE DEMON.
>> ...DISCERNED THERE WAS ONE
PARTICULAR ENTITY IN THE HOME,
AND IT WAS OF DIABOLICAL NATURE.
>> LET ME TAKE YOU HOME.
>> THANK YOU.
>> Narrator: DAVE CONSIDINE
CONCLUDES THAT THE VISIONS SEEN
BY THE FAMILY MEMBERS -- THE
LITTLE BOY AND THE DEMONIC
FRANK -- ARE DISGUISES ASSUMED
BY A SINGLE ENTITY THAT IS
TRYING TO MANIPULATE THE FAMILY.
>> DIABOLICALS WILL ALWAYS TRY
TO MAKE THEMSELVES LOOK BIGGER
AND THEY WILL ALWAYS TRY TO
APPEAR AS MULTITUDES.
THEY CALL THEMSELVES LEGION.
>> Narrator: AFTER REPEATED
VISITS TO THE HOUSE, DAVE
PRESENTS HIS EVIDENCE TO THE
CHURCH.
AN EXORCIST AGREES TO HELP THE
FAMILY.
THE EXORCIST FIRST MEETS IN
PRIVATE WITH MARIE.
>> ARE YOU TELLING ME THAT YOU
THINK MY DAUGHTER'S POSSESSED?
>> Narrator: HE EXPLAINS THAT
JULIE CANNOT BE POSSESSED
BECAUSE SHE HAS NO ABILITY TO
CHOOSE BETWEEN GOOD AND EVIL.
>> HE SAID, "YOUR DAUGHTER'S A
VICTIM."
>> BUT WE DO NEED TO STOP THIS
DEMON FROM OPPRESSING HER, USING
HER TO ENTER YOUR HOME.
I PROPOSE A MINOR EXORCISM, A
BLESSING OVER THE HOUSE AND THE
PEOPLE IN IT, TO GET RID OF THIS
DEMON.
I THINK WE'D BETTER GET STARTED.
>> OH!
>> GOD...
>> Narrator: A ROMAN CATHOLIC
PRIEST PREPARES FOR AN ANCIENT
RITUAL TO PROTECT A FAMILY
TORMENTED BY A DEMON.
>> ...AS SMOKE IS DRIVEN AWAY,
SO ARE THEY DRIVEN.
AS WAX MELTS BEFORE...
>> Narrator: HE RECITES A MINOR
FORM OF EXORCISM TO DRIVE THE
DIABOLICAL SPIRIT OUT OF THE
HOUSE.
>> ...SO THE WICKED PERISH
BEFORE THE PRESENCE OF GOD.
>> IT WAS USING THE CHILD AS A
GATEWAY, AN ENTRY POINT.
>> WE DRIVE YOU FROM US.
>> THIS CHILD HAS NOT THE
ABILITY TO SAY YES, NOR DOES THE
CHILD HAVE THE ABILITY TO SAY
NO.
>> UNCLEAN SPIRITS, ALL SATANIC
POWERS...
>> I HAD TWO INVESTIGATORS SIT
ON BOTH SIDES OF THE SMALL GIRL
BECAUSE SHE WAS THE POSSIBLE
ENTRY POINT.
>> SHE DIDN'T HAVE THE
COMPREHENSION TO UNDERSTAND THE
SEVERITY OF THE SITUATION.
IT REALLY DIDN'T HAVE A WILL ONE
WAY OR THE OTHER TO INITIATE OR
BREAK OFF THE COMMUNICATION.
>> IN THE NAME AND BY THE POWER
OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST, MAY
YOU BE SNATCHED AWAY AND DRIVEN
FROM THE CHURCH OF GOD.
>> Narrator: JULIE GROWS ANGRY.
>> HER HANDS WERE SORT OF IN A
RAKING GESTURE.
>> ...PRECIOUS BLOOD OF THE
DIVINE LAMB.
[ ELECTRICITY CRACKLING ]
WE HUMBLY PROSTRATE OURSELVES
BEFORE...
AND WE BESEECH THEE TO DELIVER
US WITH THY POWER...
WE DRIVE YOU FROM US, WHOEVER
YOU MAY BE...
SATANIC POWER...
[ ELECTRICITY CRACKLING ]
...DRIVEN FROM THE CHURCH OF
GOD.
[ PRIEST SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY ]
>> SHE WAS STARING INTENTLY AT
THE PRIEST -- YOU KNOW, "IF I
CAN GET MY HANDS ON YOU" TYPE OF
THING -- BUT IT REALLY WASN'T
HER.
IT WAS THE ENTITY THAT WAS
POSSESSING HER.
>> OUR GUT WAS IT WANTED TO GET
UP AND GO AFTER THE PRIEST.
AND IF WE WEREN'T WATCHING, IT
WOULD HAVE.
[ LOUD BOOMING ]
>> WE HEARD THREE DISTINCT LOUD
BOOMS...
INDICATING THAT THE ENTITY THAT
WAS THERE LEFT THE HOUSE.
>> IT'S GONE.
>> Narrator: THE FAMILY SENSES
THAT THEIR HOME IS SAFE AGAIN.
>> YOU OKAY?
YOU ALL RIGHT, SWEETIE?
>> THE HOUSE CHANGED.
THE HOUSE GOT MUCH LIGHTER.
THE HOUSE SMELLED DIFFERENTLY.
THE AIR FELT BETTER.
>> JULIE?
JULIE, BABY?
>> JUST FEELS AS THOUGH THERE'S
A TREMENDOUS WEIGHT THAT'S TAKEN
OFF THE HOUSE.
>> Narrator: IN THE FOLLOWING
DAYS, THE HOUSE REMAINS AT
PEACE.
>> WE WERE VERY GRATEFUL AND WE
WERE VERY HAPPY.
WE THOUGHT, YOU KNOW, THIS HAD
DONE THE TRICK.
>> SWEET DREAMS.
[ WIND CHIMES JINGLING ]
[ SQUEAKING ]
>> Narrator: THE EXORCISM
REMOVED THE DIABOLICAL ENTITY
FROM THE HOUSE...BUT DID NOT
DESTROY THE EVIL.
THE POTTER FAMILY HAS SINCE
MOVED...
BUT THEIR NIGHTMARES...
CONTINUE.
