>> 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.
WHEN A YOUNG FAMILY MOVES INTO
AN OLD HOUSE, THEY SOON DISCOVER
THEY ARE NOT ALONE.
LATE-NIGHT ATTACKS BY VIOLENT
SPIRITS TURN THEIR LIVES INTO A
LIVING HELL UNTIL A COURAGEOUS,
YOUNG BOY CHALLENGES THE DEAD
WHO REFUSE TO DIE.
BETWEEN THE WORLD WE SEE, AND
THE THINGS WE FEAR, THERE ARE
DOORS.
WHEN THEY ARE OPENED, NIGHTMARES
BECOME REALITY.

GLEN BURNIE, MARYLAND -- A SMALL
COMMUNITY IN THE SHADOW OF
BALTIMORE.
FOR GENERATIONS, IT'S BEEN HOME
TO HONEST, HARD-WORKING
FAMILIES.
BUT WHEN EVIL SPIRITS RISE,
THERE'S NO REFUGE FOR THE
INNOCENT.
EVEN HERE, RESTLESS SOULS ROAM
IN ANGER, SEEKING VENGEANCE FROM
THE LIVING.

>> WELL, FOLKS, I'M GLAD TO SAY
WE HAVE A SPECIAL GUEST IN OUR
STUDIO.
HE'S MR. BILLY BEAN, AND HE HAS

STORY.
MAYBE I SHOULD START FROM THE
BEGINNING.
>> HEY, WE HAVE PLENTY OF TIME
FOR AN HONEST-TO-GOD, TRUE-LIFE
GHOST STORY, AND IT'S A TRAGIC
GHOST STORY, AT THAT.
BILLY, I GOT TO TELL OUR
AUDIENCE FIRST, WHEN I HEARD

EVIL SPIRITS WHO INVADED HIS
CHILDHOOD HOME AND DESTROYED HIS
FAMILY.
>> CRAZY, STRANGE HAPPENINGS.
AND, YEAH, I WAS PRETTY MUCH
HAUNTED BY...
AS I ADVANCED IN MY ADULT YEARS,
I JUST REMAINED HAUNTED BY WHAT
HAPPENED AND WHO WAS IT AND WHY.
SO I GIVE MY STORY OUT, AND I
TELL IT -- TELL IT ALL.
>> WOW.
>> IT JUST KEPT HAUNTING.
SO I DECIDED TO SHARE MY STORY
AND ACTUALLY AGREED TO GO ON A
RADIO TALK SHOW.

RENTING AND SAVING, FINALLY
MOVING INTO THEIR OWN HOME IS A
DREAM COME TRUE.
[ INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS ]
>> DAD, CAN I USE THE PHONE?

THEY'RE HOOKING IT UP TOMORROW.
[ INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS ]
HEY, BUDDY, LIKE YOUR NEW HOME?
[ SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY ]
[ SMOOCHES ]
>> CAN I TAKE THIS UP TO MY
ROOM?
>> YEAH, GO AHEAD.
YOU KNOW WHERE IT IS, RIGHT?
>> YEAH.
THERE WAS A HEAVINESS.
IT JUST HAD AN EERIE LOOK AND AN
EERIE FEEL.
I JUST KNEW THAT SOMETHING WAS
SCARING ME.
I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT IT WAS.
[ CLATTER ]
>> WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT?
>> NOTHING.
>> Narrator: FROM THE MOMENT SHE
MOVES IN, 14-YEAR-OLD PATTI IS
UNCOMFORTABLE IN THE HOUSE...
PARTICULARLY IN THE HALLWAY.
>> IT WAS SCARY.
YOU JUST FELT FEAR, GOING DOWN
THIS HALLWAY.
I HAD THE ROOM AT THE END OF THE
HALL.
AND IT WAS ALWAYS COLD.
>> ALL RIGHT.
BETTER HURRY UP.
THE BUS IS HERE.
>> BEFORE WE MOVED TO THE HOUSE,
WE HAD A VERY TYPICAL FAMILY.
EVERYTHING SEEMED FINE.
EVERYONE SEEMED HAPPY.
>> ALL RIGHT, DAD.
>> BYE, MOM. BYE, DAD.
>> BYE.
[ ENGINE TURNS OVER ]E
>> MY MOTHER WOULD MAKE THE BEDS
IN THE MORNING, AFTER EVERYONE
WAS OFF.

[ GASPING ]
[ TELEPHONE RINGS ]
HELLO?
[ Voice breaking ] HI, MOM.
YEAH, I'M FINE.
I, UH...
WELL, NO, I'M NOT REALLY FINE.
I JUST -- I THINK I'M GOING A
LITTLE NUTS.
UH...
>> WHAT'S GOING ON OVER THERE?
>> Narrator: PATRICIA'S MOTHER,
HELEN, LIVES JUST A FEW MINUTES
AWAY.
>> DOORS DON'T SLAM SHUT BY
THEMSELVES.
WHAT IS HAPPENING?
>> IT WAS OVER AND OVER AND OVER
AGAIN.
IT WASN'T LIKE THAT.
I WENT IN, THERE WAS NOTHING
GOING ON IN THERE.
NOBODY'S THERE -- I HOPE,
ANYWAY.
THEY...TOOK...
YEAH, MOM?
MOM, CAN I -- CAN I CALL...
HOLD ON JUST A SECOND, MOM.
>> PATRICIA, ARE YOU THERE?
PATRICIA, YOU ALL RIGHT?
>> OH, NO. OH, OH, NO.
OH, GOD.
OH, OH, NO.
>> Narrator: PATRICIA TELLS HER
MOTHER SHE FEARS THE HOUSE MAY
BE HAUNTED.
>> SORRY ABOUT THAT.
I HEARD SOMETHING DOWN THE HALL.
WELL, I WENT DOWN TO THE
BATHROOM, AND IT WAS -- THE
WATER WAS POURING ALL OVER THE
SIDES.
>> AND I OVERHEARD MY MOTHER
TALKING ON THE TELEPHONE WITH MY
GRANDMOTHER ABOUT THE
WATER-FAUCET INCIDENT, AND THAT
REALLY ALARMED ME, BUT REALLY
HAD NO TRUE IDEA OF WHAT WAS
GOING ON.
>> NO, I DIDN'T PUT IT ON.
NOBODY IN THIS HOUSE PUT THAT
ON.
NO. I KNOW, I KNOW, BUT THERE'S
SOMETHING NOT OF THIS WORLD IN
THIS HOUSE.
I CAN FEEL IT.
>> THIS GUY TOOK A SKATEBOARD,
AND THE TEACHER TOOK IT.
>> I'M TELLING YOU, THERE WAS
WATER ALL OVER THE FLOOR.
>> IT'S ON OLD HOUSE.
THERE'S GOING TO BE ALL KINDS OF
THINGS THAT NEED TO BE FIXED.
>> WELL, THEN HOW DO YOU EXPLAIN
THE BEDS?
>> YOU'RE TIRED. YOU FORGOT.
>> I DID NOT FORGET.
I MADE THE BEDS, AND
SOMETHING -- I DON'T KNOW
WHAT -- UNMADE THEM.
>> MY FATHER WAS A VERY TOUGH
MAN.
HE WAS A NO-NONSENSE TYPE OF
MAN.
HE JUST DID NOT WANT TO ACCEPT
THAT THERE WAS EVEN THE
POSSIBILITY OF ANY TYPE OF
GHOSTLY PHENOMENA GOING ON IN
THE HOUSE.
[ THUDDING ]
>> [ GASPS ]
[ BREATHING HEAVILY ]
[ THUDDING CONTINUES ]
[ KNOCKING ]
IT SOUNDED LIKE HEAVY FOOTSTEPS,
LIKE SOMEONE THAT WOULD HAVE A
HEAVY-SOLED SHOE.
[ THUDDING CONTINUES ]
>> COME ON, GUYS.
LET'S GET A MOVE ON.
YOU DON'T HAVE MUCH TIME,
SWEETIE.
>> YOU HEAR ANY FOOTSTEPS?
>> YOU HEARD FOOTSTEPS?
WHERE DID YOU HEAR FOOTSTEPS?
>> ON THE CEILING.
>> TELL ME WHAT HAPPENED.
>> I WAS LYING IN BED, AND I
HEARD SOUNDS FROM THE WALLS.
>> THE WALLS OR THE CEILING?
>> FOOTSTEPS ON THE CEILING!
>> IT WAS A SQUIRREL OR
SOMETHING.
IT GOT IN A HOLE IN THE SOFFIT
OR SOMETHING.
>> SQUIRRELS DON'T WEAR BOOTS.
YOU GOT ME ON THAT ONE.
THERE'S A SQUIRREL OR SOMETHING
UP THERE CRAWLING AROUND.
THERE'S A HOLE IN THE SOFFIT.
I'LL CHECK IT OUT, OKAY?
>> Narrator: BILL'S LACK OF
CONCERN FOR WHAT HIS FAMILY IS
TRYING TO TELL HIM BEGINS TO
DRIVE A WEDGE BETWEEN HIM AND
HIS WIFE.
AS THE MONTHS SLOWLY PASS, BILLY
CONTINUES TO HEAR STRANGE
TAPPING SOUNDS AND HEAVY
FOOTSTEPS IN THE NIGHT.
BUT SOON, IT'S HIS FATHER WHO
BECOMES HIS GREATER CONCERN.
>> NOT EVEN A YEAR AFTER THESE
EVENTS STARTED OCCURRING ON A
REGULAR BASIS, HE STARTED
DEVELOPING THIS HEAVY DRINKING
PROBLEM.
IT PROGRESSIVELY GOT WORSE AND
TO THE POINT WHERE HE WAS
STAYING OUT FOR A COUPLE DAYS
AT A TIME.
BUSINESS WAS FAILING BECAUSE
OF IT.
I TRULY BELIEVE THAT THESE
ENTITIES WERE PUSHING BUTTONS
AND JUST TRYING TO DIVIDE AND
CONQUER US AS A FAMILY.
>> IF YOU JUST IGNORE IT, IT
WILL GO AWAY.
>> BILL, THERE IS SOMETHING
UNNATURAL IN THIS HOUSE, AND I'M
AFRAID FOR THE CHILDREN.
>> LOOK, I'M NOT MOVING MY
FAMILY FOR SOMETHING THAT
DOESN'T EXIST.
OKAY, LIKE I SAID, IF YOU
IGNORE IT, IT WILL GO AWAY.
>> IT'S NOT THAT SIMPLE.
>> IT IS THAT SIMPLE!
JUST DROP IT.
I'M NOT MOVING MY FAMILY FOR
SOMETHING THAT DOESN'T EXIST.
>> BILL, I'M NOT SAYING THAT.
>> THIS IS MY HOUSE!
I DON'T WANT TO LEAVE THE HOUSE!
LOOK, WE'RE NOT GOING ANYWHERE!
WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?!
YOU WANT TO LEAVE?!
IS THAT WHAT YOU WANT?!
WE TRIED TO BUILD THIS HOUSE.
WE SAVED A LONG TIME FOR THIS,
AND YOU JUST WANT TO WALK AWAY
BECAUSE OF SOME IMAGINATION.
IF YOU WANT TO LEAVE, JUST PACK
UP YOUR CRAP AND GET OUT!
SHUT UP AND LISTEN TO ME.
>> AT THE TIME, I DIDN'T KNOW
WHAT TO THINK.
[ INDISTINCT CONVERSATION ]
NOW, AS AN ADULT, LOOKING BACK
ON IT, THERE'S NO QUESTION IN MY
MIND THAT THESE ENTITIES WERE
FUELING HIM.
[ TAPPING ]
[ GASPING ]
I WANTED TO SCREAM OUT FOR MY
PARENTS, AND I COULDN'T.
MY MOUTH WOULDN'T EVEN WORK.
[ MOANING AND GASPING ]
[ GASPS ]
[ WHIMPERING ]
[ BREATHING HEAVILY ]
>> [ MOANS ]
WHAT, SWEETIE? WHAT IS IT?
WHAT'S GOING ON?
>> I SAW SOMETHING.
>> YOU'RE JUST HAVING A BAD
DREAM.
NOW GO ON BACK TO BED.
>> I ABSOLUTELY DID NOT WANT TO
GO BACK IN THERE.
I WAS TERRIFIED.
>> OKAY.
ALL RIGHT, SWEETIE.
I'LL GO IN THERE WITH YOU.
>> NO, YOU STAY HERE.
BILLY, JUST GO BACK TO BED.
>> BUT, DAD.
>> GO BACK TO BED.
>> BUT, DAD.
>> NOW.
BILLY.
>> THE MOST TRAUMATIC THING HAD
JUST OCCURRED, AND MY PARENTS
WERE SENDING ME BACK TO MY BED.
I DID NOT WANT TO GO BACK TO
THAT ROOM.
AND IT'S SOMETHING THAT HAS
STAYED WITH ME ALL THESE YEARS.
I'LL NEVER FORGET IT.
>> Narrator: TWO YEARS OF
UNEXPLAINED EVENTS HAVE TAKEN
THEIR TOLL ON THE BEAN FAMILY.
>> I HAVE TO GET OUT.
MY PARENTS ARE FLIPPING OUT.
WHEN I WAS 16, BEING IN THAT
HOUSE WAS DIFFICULT.
WE CAN'T STAY HERE ANYMORE.
ONE REASON BEING THE PRESENCE
THAT I ALWAYS FELT, THE FEAR --
CONSTANT FEAR.
BYE.
>> I'LL PICK YOU UP.
[ CREAKING ]
>> IT WAS VERY UNSETTLING.
IT JUST GOT CRAZY.
I COULDN'T STAND IT.
I DIDN'T WANT TO BE THERE.
[ CREAKING ]
[ SIGHS ]
[ FOOTSTEPS OVERHEAD ]
[ GASPS ]
[ BREATHING HEAVILY ]
I FELT SOMETHING TOUCH MY LEG.
MOM!
MOM, COME HERE!
THERE'S SOMETHING IN THE BED!
>> WHAT?
YOU'RE FREEZING, SWEETIE.
>> NOT FOR ONE SECOND DID I
THINK THERE WAS AN INTRUDER IN
THE HOUSE OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.
I KNOW IT WAS SOMETHING ELSE.
IT WASN'T A REAL PERSON THAT
TOUCHED ME.
>> IT'S OKAY, IT'S OKAY.
JUST A BAD DREAM.
>> [ SOBS ]
>> COME ON.
LET'S CALM DOWN FIRST.
>> THAT SCARED ME VERY MUCH --
SO MUCH THAT I JUST DIDN'T EVEN
WANT TO BE IN THAT ROOM ANYMORE.
>> Narrator: AT 16 YEARS OLD,
PATTI DECIDES TO MARRY HER
BOYFRIEND AS A WAY OUT OF THE
HOUSE.
PATTI'S MOTHER BEGS HER TO
CHANGE HER MIND, BUT PATTI WILL
NOT LISTEN.
>> ANYTHING AT ALL, YOU CALL ME.
UNDERSTAND?
ANYTHING.
>> I KNOW.
IT WOULDN'T HAVE MATTERED WHO
MY BOYFRIEND WAS.
I JUST WANTED TO GET OUT.
>> AND IT'S SO UNFORTUNATE, IT
WENT FROM BEING A LOVING FAMILY
TO A -- JUST A VERY COLD FAMILY
THAT WAS EXISTING ON A
DAY-TO-DAY BASIS.
>> YOU DO YOUR HOMEWORK?
>> I'M GOING TO DO IT AFTER
DINNER.
>> I SAID YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO DO
IT BEFORE DINNER.
>> LIGHTEN UP.
>> I WAS VERY ANGRY.
I WAS WITHDRAWN AND JUST HAD
TREMENDOUS HATRED FOR MY FATHER
FOR NOT GETTING US OUT OF THAT
ENVIRONMENT, WITH THESE EVIL
ENTITIES THAT WERE DESTROYING
US.
>> I'LL BE BACK.
>> Narrator: AND THEN, ONE DAY,
BILLY'S FATHER LEAVES AND NEVER
COMES BACK.
>> WHERE DID DAD GO?
>> HE WENT OUT FOR A WALK,
SWEETIE.
>> IT WAS SO IRONIC BECAUSE MY
FATHER WAS THE ONE THAT WANTED
TO FIGHT AND STAY, AND HE ENDED
UP LEAVING, AND MY MOTHER WAS
THE ONE THAT WANTED TO LEAVE THE
WHOLE TIME.
>> Narrator: BILLY REALIZES THAT
HIS MOTHER IS THE ONLY PERSON
LEFT WHO CAN HELP HIM COPE WITH
WHATEVER IS HAUNTING THE HOUSE.
>> [ BREATHING HEAVILY ]
[ GASPS ]
>> [ MOANING ]
>> NO! NO!
NO! NO!
AAH! AAH!
[ COUGHS ]
[ BREATHING HEAVILY ]
SWEETHEART, I'M GOING TO SLEEP
WITH YOU TONIGHT, OKAY?
>> WHAT?
>> JUST GO BACK TO SLEEP, ALL
RIGHT.
>> DID YOU SEE THEM?
>> JUST JUST GO BACK TO SLEEP,
SWEETIE, JUST GO BACK TO SLEEP.
OKAY?
>> BUT DID YOU SEE THEM?
>> [ BREATHING HEAVILY ]
[ Voice breaking ] YES.
>> OKAY.
>> [ SOBS ]
>> Narrator: BILLY'S MOM BEGINS
SPENDING EVERY NIGHT WITH HER
SONS.
>> SO, THERE WAS THREE OF US
LEFT IN THE HOUSE, AND WE WERE
LIVING OUT OF ONE BEDROOM.
>> AND YOU PUT IT INTO THE HOLE.
AND THERE'S THIS BALL.
IT'S REALLY, REALLY COOL.
AND YOU HAVE, LIKE, SO MANY
COURSES.
MOM, I DON'T LIKE PEAS.
DO YOU REMEMBER?
>> I'M SORRY, SWEETIE.
I...
[ SIGHS ]
[ CHUCKLES ]
IT'S GOING TO BE FINE.
MOMMY'S JUST NOT FEELING GOOD.
UGH.
>> WHAT'S GOING ON?
>> GO CALL YOUR SISTER, SWEETIE.
THE PHONE'S, UH...
>> OKAY.
>> OH.
[ BREATHING HEAVILY ]
>> I DIDN'T KNOW EXACTLY WHAT
WAS WRONG, BUT I KNEW THAT
SOMETHING WAS WRONG WITH MY
MOTHER, SO I RAN TO THE
TELEPHONE AND CALLED MY SISTER,
WHO LIVED NEAR US WITH HER
HUSBAND.
HELLO?
MOM'S SICK.
SHE'S DOWN ON THE FLOOR.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S WRONG WITH
HER.
SHE'S JUST SICK.
>> UGH!
[ MOANING ]
UGH.
>> [ GASPS ]
>> YOUR MOTHER WASN'T GETTING
ENOUGH OXYGEN TO HER BRAIN.
THAT'S WHAT CAUSED HER TO FALL.
OKAY?
BUT SHE'S GOING TO BE FINE.
EXCUSE ME. EXCUSE ME, MISS?
HOW ARE YOU?
PATTY BEAN'S MOTHER?
I'M GOING TO NEED TO SPEAK
WITH YOU.
>> HOW IS SHE? WHY IS SHE HERE?
>> YOUR DAUGHTER HAD A SLIGHT
STROKE.
>> A STROKE?
>> Narrator: THE DOCTOR ASSURES
PATRICIA'S MOTHER THAT THE
STROKE IS A MILD ONE, BUT SHE'LL
NEED TO BE HOSPITALIZED FOR
ADDITIONAL TESTS FOR ANOTHER
CONDITION.
>> THE KIDNEYS AREN'T
FUNCTIONING THE WAY THEY SHOULD.
>> Narrator: A FEW DAYS LATER,
PATRICIA FULLY RECOVERS FROM THE
STROKE, BUT SHE WILL EVENTUALLY
REQUIRE DIALYSIS FOR HER FAILING
KIDNEYS.
>> PATRICIA, COULD I TALK WITH
YOU A MINUTE?
COME DOWN HERE.
>> WHAT IS IT?
>> Narrator: PATRICIA'S MOTHER
IS CONVINCED THAT THE ENTITIES
IN PATRICIA'S HOUSE ARE
RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL HER
PROBLEMS.
>> SHE WAS IN POOR HEALTH,
AND SHE COULDN'T WORK.
AND WE WERE STUCK THERE.
>> THIS HOUSE IS ALL WE'VE GOT
LEFT, AND I AM NOT GONNA BE
MOVING.
WE'RE NOT.
>> CAN'T YOU COME AND LIVE WITH
ME FOR A WHILE?
>> NO.
>> AS MUCH AS SHE WOULD HAVE
LOVED TO HAVE GOTTEN OUT OF THAT
HOUSE, THERE WAS AN UNDERLYING
FACTOR HERE, AND I TRULY BELIEVE
IT WAS THE ENTITIES THEMSELVES
THAT WERE CONTROLLING MY MOTHER
AND KEEPING HER IN THIS
ENVIRONMENT.
[ CABINETS RATTLING ]
[ GLASSES CLINKING ]
[ GLASS SHATTERS ]
>> AAH!
[ GRUNTS ]
>> WHAT'S GOING ON?
MOM, WHAT HAPPENED?
>> GO CALL YOUR SISTER.
I'M GONNA NEED STITCHES.
THE PHONE -- THE NUMBER'S RIGHT
THERE, OKAY?
BE CAREFUL, THERE'S GLASS ALL
OVER THE FLOOR.
>> SOMETHING JUST HAPPENED TO
MOM.
I NEED YOU OVER HERE NOW.
SHE NEEDS HELP.
>> WE WERE LIVING A DAILY
NIGHTMARE.
>> [ SOBS ]
>> THESE THINGS THAT OCCURRED IN
THIS HOUSE...
ARE TRULY ATROCITIES.
>> IT'S GONNA BE OKAY.
>> I WOULD GO OUTSIDE EVERY
NIGHT AND LOOK UP AT THE SKY...
AND JUST WANT SOMETHING TO TAKE
ME.
>> [ GROANS ]
JUST TAKE ME AWAY FROM ALL THIS,
EVERY NIGHT.
>> Narrator: MONTHS PASS.
PATRICIA MEETS RICHARD TYSON, A
MAN WHO FALLS FOR HER RATHER
QUICKLY.
>> IT WAS JUST ONE OF THEM
THINGS.
I NEVER EXPERIENCED FEELINGS
LIKE THAT TOWARDS ANYBODY.
>> COME ON, GUYS.
LUNCHTIME.
>> CERTAINLY, THE LAST THING ON
HER MIND WAS FINDING ANYBODY TO
DATE, WITH HER HEALTH PROBLEMS
AND THE PROBLEMS WE WERE
ENDURING IN THE HOUSE.
BUT THEY TOOK A LIKING TO EACH
OTHER AND THEN BEGAN TO DATE.
>> PATRICIA?
PATRICIA?
WHO WAS THAT WHO WAS JUST IN
HERE?
>> THERE WASN'T ANYBODY IN HERE.
>> I SAW A LADY, WITH BLONDE
HAIR, STANDING RIGHT HERE.
SHE WAS IN A NIGHTGOWN.
>> A NIGHTGOWN?
NO, NO, I WAS JUST PUTTING THE
KIDS DOWN.
>> I KNOW WHAT I'M SEEING.
I'M NOT DRINKING.
I'M NOT DOING ANY DRUGS.
I DON'T THINK I'M CRAZY.
I'M THINKING, "WHAT IS GOING ON
HERE," YOU KNOW?
AND I CAN'T EXPLAIN IT.
>> ARE YOU TELLING ME THIS HOUSE
IS HAUNTED?
>> NO, I'M NOT TELLING YOU THIS
PLACE IS HAUNTED.
>> BECAUSE IF YOU'RE TELLING ME
THIS HOUSE IS HAUNTED, THEN YOU
AND THE KIDS NEED TO GET OUT OF
HERE.
>> WE'RE NOT GOING ANYWHERE.
THIS IS OUR HOME.
>> SHE DIDN'T WANT TO LEAVE THE
HOUSE.
>> I-IT'S FINE.
IT'S FINE.
IT DOESN'T MATTER.
WE'RE FINE.
>> SHE HAD NOWHERE ELSE TO GO.
SHE COULDN'T AFFORD ANYTHING
ELSE, AND SHE WAS THE TYPE OF
PERSON WHO WAS SO PROUD, SHE
DIDN'T WANT TO ACCEPT ANYTHING
FROM ANYBODY.
>> Narrator: DESPERATE FOR HELP,
PATRICIA ASKS FATHER JOHN HAUER,
A ROMAN CATHOLIC PRIEST FROM A
LOCAL PARISH, TO BLESS HER
HOUSE.
>> PATRICIA TOLD ME THAT THEY
WERE HAVING A LOT OF STRANGE
ACTIVITY, AND...
SEEING SPIRITS AND GHOSTS AND
HEARING NOISES.
SO, SHE ASKED ME TO COME DOWN
AND SEE WHAT I COULD DO TO,
PERHAPS, TO SOLVE THIS
SITUATION.
>> PATRICIA, WHY DON'T YOU TELL
ME WHAT YOU'VE BEEN
EXPERIENCING.
>> WE'VE HAD SOME OBJECTS MOVING
AROUND AND THINGS FLYING OUT OF
THE CABINETS.
THINGS CUT ON BY THEMSELVES.
I'VE ACTUALLY SEEN A COUPLE OF
THINGS AND FELT PEOPLE TOUCHING
US AND STUFF.
WE'RE JUST HOPING YOU COULD GIVE
A GENERAL BLESSING.
>> IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST,
LEAVE THIS HOUSE.
GO BACK TO WHERE YOU CAME.
IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST,
LEAVE THIS HOUSE.
GO BACK TO WHERE YOU NAME.
IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST,
LEAVE THIS HOUSE.
GO BACK TO WHERE YOU CAME.
IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST,
LEAVE THIS HOUSE.
GO BACK TO WHERE YOU CAME.
>> THIS IS OUR DINING ROOM.
>> IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST,
LEAVE THIS HOUSE.
>> Narrator: FATHER HAUER DOES
NOT SENSE THE PRESENCE OF ANY
SPIRITS.
HE TELLS PATRICIA THAT IF THE
SPIRITS RETURN, SHE SHOULD
SPRINKLE HOLY WATER THROUGHOUT
THE HOUSE AND RECITE WHAT'S AN
INTERCESSORY PRAYER.
>> AN INTERCESSORY PRAYER IS A
PRAYER REQUESTING THAT GOD WOULD
COME IN IN SOME DRAMATIC WAY OR
EFFECTIVE WAY AND REMOVE THE
EVIL SPIRITS.
>> WE CAN DO THE BLESSING?
YOU DON'T HAVE TO?
>> YES, BILLY.
YOU OR YOUR MOTHER CAN DO THE
BLESSING.
>> OH, THANK YOU SO MUCH.
>> ARE YOU SURE I CAN'T GET YOU
ANYTHING?
>> NO, THANK YOU.
I HAVE TO GO.
>> THANK YOU.
>> TALK TO YOU LATER, OKAY?
SEE YOU ON SUNDAY.
>> Narrator: LATER THAT SAME
DAY...
>> GUYS, I'M PRETTY EXCITED
ABOUT THIS.
WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO?
YOU WANT TO GET SOME ICE CREAM?
>> YEAH.
YEAH, ICE CREAM.
[ GLASS SHATTERS ]
>> AAH!
>> Narrator: BILLY CANNOT TAKE
IT ANYMORE.
HE DECIDES TO CONFRONT THE
ENTITY HIMSELF.
>> I BECAME ENRAGED.
I WAS READY TO DO BATTLE WITH
THESE ENTITIES, AND I SAID TO
THEM, "IN THE NAME OF JESUS
CHRIST, I COMMAND YOU TO SHOW
YOURSELF.
I COMMAND YOU TO LEAVE OUR
FAMILY ALONE."
>> All: I COMMAND YOU TO LEAVE
THIS HOUSE AND GO BACK TO WHERE
YOU CAME FROM.
IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST, I
COMMAND YOU TO LEAVE.
IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST,
I COMMAND YOU TO LEAVE THIS
HOUSE AND GO BACK TO WHERE YOU
CAME FROM.
>> IN THE NAME OF JESUS
CHRIST...
I COMMAND YOU TO LEAVE THIS
HOUSE.
>> All: IN THE NAME OF
JESUS CHRIST, I COMMAND YOU TO
LEAVE THIS HOUSE AND GO BACK TO
WHERE YOU CAME FROM.
IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST, I
COMMAND YOU TO LEAVE THIS HOUSE
AND GO BACK TO WHERE YOU CAME
FROM.
>> OH, NO. NO, NO.
>> BUT MY RADIO.
>> I DON'T CARE.
WE'LL GET YOU ANOTHER RADIO.
>> Narrator: PATRICIA FINALLY
LEAVES WITH WHAT'S LEFT OF HER
FAMILY.
>> IN THE BACK. COME ON.
HOP IN THE BACK.
DON'T WORRY ABOUT THE RADIO.
>> Narrator: BILLY IS RELIEVED
BUT IS TORTURED BY NOT KNOWING
WHO OR WHAT HAUNTED THEIR HOUSE.
[ ENGINE TURNS OVER ]
[ TIRES SQUEAL ]
>> I TRIED TO LET THIS GO.
I TRIED TO JUST FORGET ABOUT IT
AND NOT LOOK BACK ON IT.
AND, UNFORTUNATELY, IT STILL
HAUNTS ME.
>> Narrator: 10 MONTHS AFTER
LEAVING THE HOUSE, BILLY'S MOM
DIES OF A CEREBRAL HEMORRHAGE.
HIS FATHER DIES SEVERAL YEARS
LATER.
HE AND HIS SIBLINGS ARE LEFT TO
WONDER WHY HIS PARENTS WERE
UNABLE TO PROTECT THEM ALL THOSE
YEARS.
>> THEY DID THE BEST THEY COULD,
AND THEY MADE THE DECISIONS THEY
FELT WERE THE RIGHT DECISIONS.
BUT I JUST WISH, TO GOD, THAT
THEY WOULD HAVE FOUND SOME OTHER
WAY OR SOME OTHER HOME OR
SOMEPLACE ELSE THAT WE COULD
HAVE GONE AND HAD SOME NORMALCY
IN OUR LIFE BECAUSE OUR
CHILDHOODS WERE ROBBED BECAUSE
OF THIS HOUSE AND THESE THINGS
THAT TRANSPIRED IN THE HOUSE.
>> THIS IS A MAN WHO HAS BEEN
HAUNTED BY A STRANGE AND
TERRIFYING SERIES OF
SUPERNATURAL EVENTS FOR WHAT,
BILLY, 30 YEARS NOW?
>> 30 YEARS.
THAT'S RIGHT.
>> OKAY.
I KNOW ALL OF YOU OUT THERE HAVE
QUESTIONS, JUST AS I DO.
WE'RE GOING TO TAKE A SHORT
BREAK AND COME BACK WITH MORE
WITH BILLY BEAN.
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
DID YOU EVER FIND AN ANSWER TO
THESE HAUNTINGS?
>> NO.
I WISH I DID.
I REALLY DO.
>> Narrator: BILLY RECEIVES A
CALL FROM A MAN WHO HEARD HIM ON
THE RADIO.
HE CLAIMS HE MAY KNOW THE
IDENTITY OF THE SPIRITS THAT
HAUNTED HIS CHILDHOOD HOME.
>> I HEARD YOU ON THE RADIO.
>> HIS NAME WAS JOHN ROMINE.
HE WAS A POLICE OFFICER IN THE
AREA FOR MANY YEARS.
NOT ONLY DID HE HAVE A HOME THAT
HAD SIMILAR OCCURRENCES TO WHAT
OUR HOME DID, HE ALSO WAS AWARE
OF MANY OTHER HOMES IN THE AREA
THAT WERE HAVING THESE
DISTURBANCES, AS WELL.
>> TAKE A LOOK AT THAT.
>> Narrator: ROMINE TELLS BILLY
HE'S WRITING A BOOK ABOUT THESE
SUPERNATURAL EVENTS.
>> THESE ARE PHOTOS FROM THAT
SPOT.
>> DURING MY RESEARCH, I FOUND
THAT THE HOUSE THAT BILLY BEAN
LIVED IN AS A CHILD WAS
ACTUALLY, AT ONE TIME, A RIFLE
RANGE, USED BY BOTH THE MILITARY
AND THE STATE MILITIA.
BUT IT WAS MORE THAN A RIFLE
RANGE.
>> Narrator: THE PROPERTY WAS
ALSO THE SITE OF A TENT CITY
WHERE SOLDIERS AND MILITIAMEN
LIVED IN THE EARLY 1900s.
>> THIS WHOLE AREA RIGHT THERE
BORDERS WHERE YOUR HOUSE IS.
YOU MENTIONED TWO SPIRITS.
>> YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT.
>> Narrator: BILLY DESCRIBES THE
WOMAN WITH BLOND HAIR...
AND THE MAN WITH THE SCAR THAT
TORMENTED HIS MOTHER.
>> AAH!
>> I DID SOME RESEARCH ON SOME
MEDICAL RECORDS HERE.
>> I DID LOCATE ONE FORMER
SOLDIER, WHO, IN 1904, HAD
RECEIVED A GRIEVOUS BODILY
INJURY AT SAUNDERS RANGE, WHICH
IS WHERE BILL'S HOUSE WAS BUILT.
>> Narrator: HIS NAME WAS
EDWARD ZIPPRIAN.
>> EDWARD ZIPPRIAN.
>> Narrator: WHEN ROMINE
CONTACTED THE MARYLAND NATIONAL
GUARD, HE LEARNED THAT WHILE NO
PHOTOGRAPHS SURVIVED OF
ZIPPRIAN, HIS PHYSICAL
DESCRIPTION MATCHES THE
APPARITION THAT BILLY'S MOTHER
SAW IN THE GLEN BURNIE HOUSE.
ROMINE POINTS OUT THAT RIFLES
USED AT THE TIME WERE PRONE TO
MISFIRE.
INJURIES WERE OFTEN SEVERE.
THE RED STREAKS BILLY'S MOTHER
SAW IN THE SPIRIT'S HAIR...
COULD HAVE BEEN CAUSED BY BLOOD.
>> AND THE HEAVY-SOLED WALKING
IN THE HOUSE COULD BE ATTRIBUTED
TO COMBAT BOOTS.
>> [ GASPS ]
>> Narrator: ACCORDING TO
ROMINE, ZIPPRIAN LATER DIED
A BITTER AND ANGRY MAN.
>> IT'S NOT PROOF BEYOND A
REASONABLE DOUBT.
IT WOULD NEVER STAND UP IN A
CRIMINAL TRIAL.
BUT AS FAR AS A PREPONDERANCE OF
THE EVIDENCE, I FEEL FAIRLY
CONFIDENT THAT THE DESCRIPTIONS
MATCH.
>> Narrator: ROMINE HAS NO
EXPLANATION FOR THE FEMALE
APPARITION.
>> THIS IS WHAT I'VE BEEN
FINDING.
>> Narrator: BUT HE ASSURES
BILLY HE WILL CONTINUE TO SEARCH
FOR ANSWERS.
FOR BILLY, THE INTEREST OF A
RETIRED POLICE OFFICER GIVES A
LITTLE INSIGHT INTO AN UNHAPPY
CHILDHOOD.
>> I THINK KNOWING THE REASONS
WHY SOME THINGS HAPPENED
THERE...
>> IT HIT ME IN THE HEAD.
>> ...AND WHO CAUSED THEM TO
HAPPEN...
AND KNOWING THAT HE WASN'T TO
BLAME FOR EVERYTHING THAT
HAPPENED, I FEEL HE'LL REST
EASIER AT NIGHT.
AND IT GIVES ME GREAT
SATISFACTION KNOWING THAT, IN
SOME SMALL WAY, MAYBE I HELPED
THE MAN.
I GAVE HIM SOME ANSWERS TO
QUESTIONS HE WAS TRYING TO FIND.
>> SINCE JOHN HAS SHED LIGHT ON
SOME OF THESE EVENTS, I CAN JUST
GO ON WITH MY LIFE.
