>> 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.
FOR CLARA DANDY, LIFE IN THE
COUNTRY PROMISES PEACE AND HOPE,
BUT IN HER NEW HOUSE, THESE
THINGS ARE HARD TO FIND.
SOMETHING SINISTER LURKS IN THE
WOODS AND STALKS HER FAMILY.
CLARA RELIES ON HER FAITH AND ON
THE SIXTH SENSE OF A RESPECTED
PSYCHIC TO FIGHT A LEGION OF
LOST SOULS.
BETWEEN THE WORLD WE SEE AND THE
THINGS WE FEAR, THERE ARE DOORS.
WHEN THEY ARE OPENED, NIGHTMARES
BECOME REALITY.
FOR NEARLY 200 YEARS, THE TOWN
OF HINSDALE, NEW YORK, HAS HAD A
KIND OF RURAL CHARM.
FAR FROM THE CONCRETE AND CRIME
OF THE CITY, THE MOUNTAINS KEEP
THEIR SECRETS.
>> THE HOUSE SITS ON 8 ACRES
OF LAND.
YOU'RE GOING TO LOVE IT.
>> Narrator: FOR CLARA DANDY,
WESTERN NEW YORK IS A RURAL
PARADISE.
HER FAMILY HAS VACATIONED HERE
FOR YEARS TO ESCAPE THE STRESS
OF THEIR LIFE IN BUFFALO.
>> THAT's IT. I TOLD YOU. SEE?
>> WE FIGURED THE COUNTRY WAS
OUR REDEMPTION.
WE SEEMED TO GET ALONG BETTER
THERE, AND I THOUGHT "WELL,
MAYBE WE SHOULD MOVE TO A
COUNTRY PLACE."
>> Narrator: IN 1970, A
REAL-ESTATE AGENT SUGGESTS THEY
LOOK AT A HOUSE FOR SALE IN THE
TOWN OF HINSDALE.
>> SEE THAT?
>> WHEN WE SAW THE HOUSE, I
CAN'T REALLY DESCRIBE THE
FEELING WE HAD, BECAUSE IT WAS
SO PEACEFUL.
>> IT'S NICE.
>> AND THE AIR, THE AIR WAS LIKE
BREATHING IN CHAMPAGNE.
IT WAS GREAT.
>> IT SITS ON 8 ACRES OF LAND.
>> RIGHT.
>> BEAUTIFUL TREE, BEAUTIFUL
MOUNTAINS OVER THERE.
THE HOUSE IS OVER 100 YEARS OLD.
>> Narrator: CLARA AND HER
HUSBAND, PHIL, ARE IMPRESSED
WITH THE HOUSE.
>> AS YOU CAN SEE.
>> IT WAS GORGEOUS.
IT WASN'T MODERN OR ANYTHING,
BUT IT JUST GLOWED.
IT WAS JUST PERFECT FOR US.
IT WAS JUST PERFECT.
>> I WILL SHOW YOU AROUND.
>> WE THOUGHT, "OKAY, THIS IS A
GOOD PLACE FOR THE FAMILY."
>> LOOK AT THE NICE STAIRS OVER
HERE.
>> YOU KNOW WHEN I FIRST TALKED
TO YOU ABOUT DAVID CASSIDY?
JAN AND JUDY ARE, LIKE, FIVE --
>> Narrator: THE CHILDREN,
13-YEAR-OLD TINA AND 14-YEAR-OLD
MIKE, ARE EXCITED ABOUT THE
MOVE.
>> BUFFALO IS A TOUGH TOWN, AND
A LOT OF TOUGH GUYS.
I WAS VERY MUCH INTO WILDLIFE,
AND SO THAT WAS, LIKE, JUST
PERFECT FOR ME, AND THAT'S WHERE
I WANTED TO BE.
>> IT'S A WONDERFUL HOME.
>> OKAY.
>> A BEAUTIFUL HOUSE.
>> I'M SOLD.
>> [ LAUGHS ] THANK YOU.
>> WHAT IS THAT DOOR FOR?
>> OH, LET ME SHOW YOU.
THAT IS THE CRAWL SPACE OF THE
HOUSE.
I'LL SHOW IT TO YOU.
>> SO, WHAT'S IN THERE?
>> UM, IT'S LIKE A STORAGE.
IT'S NOT BEEN OPENED FOR A WHILE
NOW.
WE CAN DO THIS ANOTHER TIME.
>> NO, NO. I'LL GET IT.
>> DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT IT
NOW.
>> IT'S VERY STUCK.
IT PROBABLY HASN'T BEEN OPEN IN
A WHILE.
>> THE CRAWL SPACE WAS WEIRD
TO ME.
IT GAVE ME A FUNNY FEELING.
BUT I THOUGHT, "OKAY, YOU KNOW,
IT'S JUST YOUR CITY UPBRINGING."
>> WELCOME TO COUNTRY LIVING.
>> Narrator: CLARA THINKS IT IS
STRANGE THAT THERE'S A FIREPLACE
IN THE STORAGE AREA.
>> YOU CAN MAKE A USE FOR
SOMETHING.
>> Narrator: A FEW MONTHS LATER,
THE DANDY FAMILY MOVES TO THE
COUNTRY.
PHIL PLANS TO COMMUTE TO HIS JOB
IN BUFFALO, 70 MILES AWAY.
ON MOVE-IN DAY, CLARA'S BROTHER
ARRIVES AT THE HOUSE A FEW HOURS
BEFORE THE REST OF THE FAMILY.
[ BEE BUZZES LOUDLY ]
[ BEES BUZZING ]
>> WHAT'S GOING ON?
>> I DON'T KNOW, SIS.
LOOK, I CAME HERE --
>> WHAT IS THAT?
>> THEY WERE BEES.
THEY WERE ALL OVER THE WINDOW IN
THERE.
THIS PLACE IS FLOODED WITH THEM.
I CALLED THE EXTERMINATOR TO
COME OUT HERE.
>> HE SAID HE'D NEVER SEEN SO
MANY BEES IN ONE PLACE, AND IT
WASN'T THE TIME OF YEAR FOR THEM
TO SWARM.
SO, I THOUGHT, "OKAY, THIS IS
ONE OF MY FIRST LESSONS.
I'M GOING TO HAVE TO LEARN TO
LIVE WITH THIS, BECAUSE THIS IS
THE WAY IT IS IN THE COUNTRY.
>> I GOT TO SHOW YOU.
>> Narrator: A FEW WEEKS LATER,
MIKE EXPLORES THE WOODS WITH HIS
NEW NEIGHBORS.
>> I GUESS SO.
SO, YOU GUYS EVER GET LOST
AROUND HERE?
>> NO WAY.
>> WE KNOW THESE WOODS LIKE THE
BACK OF OUR HAND.
>> WHICH WAY IS MY HOUSE?
>> UP THERE.
>> NO, IT'S THAT WAY.
WE COULD FIND IT IF WE HAD TO.
[ BRUSH RUSTLING ]
>> WHAT WAS THAT?
>> PROBABLY NOTHING.
>> WE SAW A TALL TEENAGE BOY
WALK PAST US WITH A GUN.
>> COME ON.
HEY, THIS IS PRIVATE PROPERTY!
>> THAT'S A GHOST.
>> WHAT?!
>> WE WANTED TO CATCH UP WITH
THIS KID AND SAY "WHAT ARE YOU
DOING ON OUR PROPERTY?"
>> [ BREATHING HEAVILY ]
>> I COULD NOT EXPLAIN HOW HE
COULD HAVE JUST DISAPPEARED.
>> NO, IT'S JUST --
>> MOM, YOU WON'T BELIEVE WHAT
WE JUST SAW.
>> HOLD ON A SECOND.
HOLD ON, JUST -- WHAT'S UP?
>> WE SAW A GHOST, MRS. D.
>> THE GUY DISAPPEARS.
>> I WAS PREOCCUPIED WITH WHAT I
WAS DOING.
>> I KNOW WHAT I SAW.
>> I SHOULD HAVE LISTENED.
I COULDN'T BE BOTHERED WITH A
GHOST.
>> HEY, WHAT'S WRONG?
>> Narrator: A FEW WEEKS LATER,
CLARA HAS FORGOTTEN ALL ABOUT
MIKE'S STORY.
[ LITURGICAL CHANTING IN
DISTANCE ]
HEAR THAT?
DO YOU HEAR THAT, MADISON?
[ CHANTING CONTINUES ]
[ DOG BARKING ]
>> I STOPPED AND I LISTENED AND
I HEAR THIS CHANTING.
[ BARKING CONTINUES ]
>> I KNOW.
>> I FELT SURROUNDED BY
SOMETHING.
>> WHAT IS THAT? WHAT IS THAT?
I KNOW, I KNOW!
MADISON, WHERE ARE YOU GOING?!
MADISON!
[ CHOPPING ]
>> THE REASON I SAY THAT IS
BECAUSE THINGS ARE A LITTLE
CRAZY AROUND HERE WITHOUT YOU,
YOU KNOW?
>> Narrator: CLARA'S HUSBAND
CALLS FROM HIS WORKPLACE IN
BUFFALO.
>> OH, YOU CAN'T?
>> Narrator: SHE TELLS HIM ABOUT
THE STRANGE SOUNDS SHE HEARD IN
THE WOODS.
>> I DON'T KNOW THAT HE WAS
DISBELIEVING, BUT HE DIDN'T
ENTIRELY BELIEVE EITHER.
>> OKAY, ALL RIGHT. I WILL.
OKAY, BYE.
>> SO I WAS LOSING HIS SUPPORT
RIGHT THERE.
>> IS EVERYTHING OKAY?
>> [ SIGHS ] YEAH.
[ SIGHS ]
>> YOU ALL RIGHT?
>> I HEARD THIS, UH, THIS
STRANGE SOUND TODAY.
I WENT UP TO THE WOODS AND THERE
WAS A STRANGE SOUND, LIKE A
GREGORIAN CHANT.
>> LIKE MONKS?
>> ABOVE OUR FARM WAS A
CAMPGROUND.
I JUST THOUGHT, "WELL IT'S THE
CAMPERS, YOU KNOW.
THERE'S CAMPERS UP ABOVE THERE.
>> COME ON.
MY MOM SAID SHE HEARD THE
CHANTING OVER THIS WAY.
>> I DECIDED TO GO UP INTO THE
WOODS AND FIND OUT WHAT THAT
WAS.
>> THE OLDER OF THE NEIGHBOR
BOYS DECIDED HE'D HAD ENOUGH.
MATT AND I WERE THE SKEPTICS, SO
WE JUST KEPT GOING.
IT WAS SLOW GOING WITH THE
DENSENESS OF THE UNDERBRUSH.
[ BRUSH RUSTLING ]
[ WOODPECKER TAPPING ]
[ BIRD SQUAWKING ]
>> THIS IS A WEIRD AREA.
REALLY DON'T THINK ANYTHING IS
GOING TO HAPPEN.
>> Narrator: MATT TRIES TO
MEDITATE, THINKING THIS MAY HELP
HIM TO CONTACT THE SUPERNATURAL.
>> I'M NOT GETTING ANYTHING,
MATT.
>> JUST CONCENTRATE.
[ THUD ]
>> DID YOU HEAR THAT?
>> WHAT WAS THAT?
>> I DON'T KNOW.
IT SOUNDED LIKE AN AX HITTING
WOOD OR SOMETHING.
[ WOMAN SCREAMS ]
>> LET'S GO, LET'S GO!
MATT! MATT!
MATT!
>> WHAT?
WHAT?
>> MY ANKLE, MY ANKLE.
>> WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU GUYS?
>> [ SIGHS ]
>> [ BREATHING HEAVILY ]
>> WANT TO TAKE THIS PLATE TO
THE TABLE?
>> YEAH.
>> Narrator: CLARA AND MIKE TRY
TO DISMISS THE STRANGE
EXPERIENCES THEY'VE HAD IN THE
WOODS.
>> MADISON.
>> ALL RIGHT.
>> I'M SO HUNGRY.
>> SO, WE HAD A GREAT LIFE OTHER
THAN THESE WEIRD THINGS THAT
HAPPENED, AND IT WAS TOO EASY TO
EXPLAIN THEM AWAY AND SAY "OKAY,
THAT'S ALL RIGHT.
YOU KNOW, MAYBE IT'S JUST
SOMETHING I DON'T UNDERSTAND."
>> YEAH, ME TOO.
CAN I GET SOME OF THOSE?
>> MM-HMM.
>> ALL RIGHT, DO YOU WANT TO
PASS THE BURGERS OVER THIS WAY.
>> YEAH.
>> Narrator: A FEW NIGHTS
LATER...
>> [ BREATHING HEAVILY ]
>> THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO WAY
THAT I CAN COME UP WITH ANY
PHYSICAL EXPLANATION.
THERE'S NO GRAVITATIONAL SHIFT
OR VORTEX THAT CAN CAUSE
SOMETHING TO COME FROM THE
BOTTOM OF THE PILE AND LEAVE THE
TOP ON THERE.
>> MOM!
MOM, CAN YOU COME IN HERE?!
>> MIKE.
>> MAMA, MAMA, I WAS SLEEPING,
AND -- AND THIS CHESS SET AND --
AND THE CHECKERS, THEY --
THEY FELL ON ME FROM UNDER THAT
STACK OF MAGAZINES.
IT FELL FROM RIGHT UNDER THERE.
>> MIKE IS VERY LOGICAL, AND
THIS DIDN'T MAKE SENSE TO HIM.
>> Narrator: CLARA FEARS THAT
WHATEVER HAS BEEN LURKING IN THE
WOODS IS STARTING TO INVADE HER
HOME.
>> WHAT WAS THAT?
>> MATT!
>> YOU WHAT?
>> AT FIRST, IT WAS LIKE [SIGHS]
LIKE, YOU KNOW, ALL THESE
STRANGE THINGS, LIKE WINDOWS
SLAMMING.
>> Narrator: CLARA TURNS TO HER
FAITH FOR ANSWERS.
SHE CONTACTS FATHER AL, A
CATHOLIC PRIEST AT A NEARBY
UNIVERSITY.
>> BUT, FATHER, THIS THING WITH
MIKE, I MEAN, HE'S RUNNING
AROUND SCARED NOW.
>> I HAD TO FIND OUT ANSWERS
SOMEHOW SO I COULD FIGHT
WHATEVER THIS THING WAS, AND THE
ONLY WAY TO GO WAS FIND A
PROFESSIONAL -- SOMEBODY WHO HAD
STUDIED THIS.
>> WOULD YOU LIKE FOR ME TO COME
BY YOUR HOUSE TOMORROW AND SAY A
MASS?
[ FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING ]
>> IS THERE ANYTHING I CAN DO
FOR YOU, FATHER?
>> YOU CAN GET THE FAMILY
TOGETHER IN HERE.
>> OKAY.
>> I WENT TO A CATHOLIC SCHOOL,
AND I WAS QUITE CONFIDENT MY
FAITH COULD TAKE CARE OF IT,
WHATEVER IT WAS.
>> WHAT'S GOING ON?
>> WE'RE GOING TO DO MASS.
>> IT REALLY BONDED US CLOSER,
IN A WAY, BECAUSE WE WERE
TOGETHER MORE FOR SUPPORT.
>> WE WERE ALL QUITE SURE THIS
WAS IT, AND WE WOULDN'T HAVE ANY
MORE PROBLEM.
>> LET US PRAY.
IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER, THE
SON, AND THE HOLY SPIRIT, AMEN.
>> Narrator: ONE NIGHT, WHILE
CLARA'S HUSBAND IS AWAY ON
BUSINESS...
[ FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING ]
[ GIRL WHIMPERS ]
[ GIRL WHIMPERING ]
>> THIS FIGURE PASSED BY, AND I
THOUGHT IT WAS MY DAUGHTER.
>> TINA?
[ DOOR CREAKS ]
>> GOOD MORNING.
THERE YOU GO.
BON APPéTIT.
[ WHISTLING ]
[ SCREAMS ]
[ BREATHING HEAVILY ]
[ Voice breaking ] MOM.
>> WHAT? WHAT'S WRONG, HONEY?
>> SHE'S BY THE WINDOW.
>> WHAT'S BY THE WINDOW?
>> A WOMAN WITH STRINGY HAIR.
>> SHE'S GONE, SWEETIE.
WHATEVER IT WAS, IT'S GONE,
OKAY?
>> Narrator: CLARA REALIZES THAT
THE PRIEST'S BLESSING WAS
INEFFECTIVE.
>> IT'S GOING TO BE OKAY, MY
LOVE.
>> I THOUGHT, "WAIT A MINUTE,
I'VE BEEN TAUGHT THAT THIS
WORKS.
I'VE BEEN TAUGHT THAT A PRIEST
CAN COME IN AND SAY A PRAYER,
AND EVERYTHING IS OKAY."
IT DID NOT WORK.
>> [ SCREAMS ]
[ ROTARY TELEPHONE DIALING ]
>> [ BREATHING HEAVILY ]
[ Telephone ringing ]
>> THIS IS FATHER AL.
MAY I HELP YOU?
>> FATHER AL, IT'S STILL
HAPPENING.
YEAH, THIS -- NO, TINA -- TINA
JUST SAW SOMETHING IN HER ROOM.
>> EVERYTHING I HAD EVER
BELIEVED IN SUDDENLY WAS CRASHED
AROUND MY FEET.
>> PERHAPS I COULD, UH, ASK HIM.
>> Narrator: FATHER AL PROMISES
THAT HE WILL BRING A PARANORMAL
EXPERT TO THE HOUSE AS SOON AS
POSSIBLE.
>> I'M KEEPING A LOG.
I WROTE -- I'M WRITING DOWN
EVERYTHING THAT'S HAPPENING,
BECAUSE IT'S -- IT'S NOT
STOPPED.
>> Narrator: IN THE MEANTIME,
CLARA KNOWS SHE MUST KEEP HER
FAMILY CALM.
>> THANK YOU, FATHER.
ALL RIGHT, BYE.
>> "I'M GOING TO STAY IN CONTROL
OF MYSELF, AND IF I CAN DO THAT,
THEN THEY WILL BE ABLE TO STAY
IN CONTROL, TOO."
>> Narrator: THAT WEEKEND, MIKE
IS OUT WITH FRIENDS.
TINA IS ASLEEP.
>> YOU HAVE A DIRTY CONDENSER
BACK HERE, MRS. SHAKE.
I CLEANED IT UP FOR YOU, NO
CHARGE.
>> I CERTAINLY HOPE SO,
CONSIDERING YOU...
>> WHAT?
>> I HEARD SOMETHING.
[ CLATTER ]
>> WHAT WAS THAT?
>> Narrator: PHIL AND CLARA HEAR
SOMETHING OUTSIDE.
>> GOING OUTSIDE.
[ CLATTER ]
>> OH!
>> [ SIGHS ] RACCOONS.
>> OKAY.
TINA?
DID YOU SEE THAT?
GO! JUST GO, GO, GO, GO, GO!
TINA?
[ Voice breaking ] TINA?
SHE'S NOT RESPONDING. PHIL!
OH, MY GOD, PHIL, LOOK AT HER
EYES.
TINA, ARE YOU OKAY?
TINA?
TINA [SOBS] TALK TO ME, PLEASE.
OH, MY...
>> AM I GOING CRAZY?
>> NO, YOU'RE NOT GOING CRAZY.
[ SOBBING ]
YOU'RE OKAY.
IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT, NOT YOUR
FAULT.
>> I'M IN DEFENSE MODE.
I'M IN MAMA BEAR MODE.
"DON'T MESS WITH MY KIDS."
I WAS STARTING TO GET MAD.
[ THUMPING ]
>> I'M GOING TO CHECK.
DON'T LEAVE THIS ROOM.
[ TELEPHONE RINGS ]
>> HELLO?
>> Narrator: MIKE CALLS HOME TO
ASK IF HE CAN SPEND THE NIGHT AT
A FRIEND'S HOUSE.
>> NO, NO, NO.
I DON'T THINK YOU CAN STAY LATE.
>> Narrator: WHEN HIS MOTHER
TELLS HIM WHAT'S BEEN HAPPENING,
HE RUSHES HOME AND BRINGS HIS
FRIEND RANDY WITH HIM.
>> HE'S SHAKEN.
HE'S PALE.
HE -- ALMOST LIKE HE CAN HARDLY
KEEP HIS HAND ON THE STEERING
WHEEL.
I SAID, "WHAT'S WRONG, MIKE?"
AND HE JUST SAID, "THINGS --
THINGS ARE GOING ON AT THE HOUSE
THAT I CAN'T UNDERSTAND."
>> WHAT'S GOING ON?
>> MY FATHER IS RUNNING LIKE A
CHICKEN WITH HIS HEAD CUT OFF,
BECAUSE HE'S GOING TO DO BATTLE
WITH WHATEVER IS HAPPENING.
ARE WE REACHING SOME KIND OF
COMMUNAL PSYCHOSIS OR SOMETHING?
WHAT'S HAPPENING?
[ THUMPING CONTINUES ]
>> ALL RIGHT, QUIET.
>> WAIT, IT'S IN THERE.
>> QUIET, QUIET!
>> Narrator: THE OVERHEAD LIGHTS
GO OUT, EVEN THOUGH THE POWER IS
STILL ON IN OTHER PARTS OF THE
HOUSE.
>> I HEAR SCRATCHING.
>> I KNOW.
>> IT'S THE CRAWL SPACE.
STAY BACK, MIKE.
>> IS IT STUCK?
>> IT'S STUCK.
IT'S COMING.
>> HAVE YOU BEEN WORKING ON
THE...
>> Narrator: BRICKS FROM THE
FIREPLACE HAVE BEEN STACKED IN
THE MIDDLE OF THE FLOOR.
>> NO!
NOBODY HAS BEEN IN THIS ROOM.
>> [ GASPS ]
OH, MY GOD.
>> IT TOOK SOME DOING TO CART
ALL THOSE BRICKS ALL THE WAY
ACROSS THE CRAWL SPACE.
>> OH, MY GOD.
>> I THOUGHT, "OH, NO, THIS --
I CAN'T FIGHT THIS THING.
WHATEVER IT IS, IT'S TOO
STRONG."
>> Narrator: FATHER AL RETURNS
TO THE HOUSE, ACCOMPANIED BY
ALEX TANOUS, A RESPECTED PSYCHIC
WHOSE ABILITIES WERE STUDIED AT
THE AMERICAN SOCIETY FOR
PSYCHICAL RESEARCH.
>> ALEX TANOUS WAS A REAL
PRESENCE.
WHEN HE LOOKED AT YOU, THERE WAS
AN INTENSITY.
IT WAS LIKE HE WAS LOOKING INTO
YOUR SOUL.
>> Narrator: THE FAMILY LEADS
HIM TO THE CRAWL SPACE.
>> [ SIGHS ]
>> THIS IS WHERE THE NOISE CAME
FROM.
>> PLEASE, PLEASE, DON'T TELL ME
ANYTHING.
[ SIGHS ]
>> WHAT DO YOU SEE?
>> I SEE BODIES.
[ GASPS ]
>> OH!
TINA?
>> [ CLEARS THROAT ]
[ SIGHS ]
I HAVE A VERY STRONG FEELING
THAT MANY PEOPLE DIED IN THIS
HOUSE.
SOME DIED OF NATURAL CAUSES.
SOME WERE MURDERED.
>> [ SIGHS ]
>> THIS PROPERTY USED TO BE A
STOPPING POINT FOR STAGECOACH
PASSENGERS.
WHAT I'M GETTING IS THAT SOMEONE
NEARBY ROBBED AND KILLED THE
TRAVELERS.
>> [ SIGHS ]
>> THEIR BODIES WERE PLACED IN
THE CRAWL SPACE UNTIL THEY COULD
BE BURIED.
I SENSE THE PRESENCE OF SEVEN
DIFFERENT SPIRITS.
>> IT WAS FREAKY.
IT WAS REALLY SCARY, AND I
THOUGHT, "MAN, WE GOT THE GUY.
THIS IS THE GUY.
HE KNOWS WHAT WE'RE TALKING
ABOUT."
>> LET US PRAY THAT THESE SOULS
MIGHT FIND RELEASE.
>> MISSING PIECE OF THE PUZZLE.
>> I THINK THINGS SHOULD CALM
DOWN.
>> Narrator: CLARA HAS RENEWED
HOPE.
THE HOUSE FEELS MORE PEACEFUL.
>> WHATEVER HIS PRESENCE DID, IT
CALMED THE PLACE DOWN.
>> Narrator: MIKE AND RANDY ARE
SKEPTICAL OF THE PSYCHIC'S STORY
ABOUT THE MURDERED TRAVELERS.
THEY SEARCH FOR PROOF OF AN OLD
STAGECOACH ROUTE NEAR THE HOUSE.
>> OKAY, SO ACCORDING TO THE
MAP, THE STAGECOACH WENT THROUGH
HERE.
AND SEE, THE TRACK GOES ALL THE
WAY DOWN THAT WAY.
[ THUD ]
>> Narrator: THEY SEE A STRANGE
LIGHT IN THE TREES.
>> THIS HAS GOT TO STOP.
>> I COULDN'T BREATHE.
SOMETHING WAS PUSHING AGAINST
ME, ALMOST LIKE SOMEBODY IS
HAVING YOU IN A BEAR HUG,
SQUEEZING YOU.
>> MIKE, WHAT'S GOING ON?
WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?
>> RANDY AND I, WE WENT INTO THE
WOODS AND...
>> MIKE WAS, "OH, LORD, YOU
KNOW, SOMETHING IS GOING ON."
>> AND WHILE WE WERE OUT THERE,
WE SAW THESE, LIKE, THESE ORBS
OF LIGHT IN THE TREES.
>> "WE GOT TO DO SOMETHING."
WE GOT TO DO SOMETHING.
I SAID, "WHAT?
WHAT ON EARTH CAN WE DO?"
>> HONEY, IT'S DANGEROUS.
>> WE GOT TO DO SOMETHING, MOM.
>> GO! GO INSIDE, GUYS.
JUST GO.
>> MOTHERS DEAL WITH, YOU KNOW,
CUTS AND BRUISES AND FALLS AND
HOMEWORK AND STUFF LIKE THAT.
THEY DON'T DEAL WITH THINGS THAT
CAN'T HAPPEN AND THAT COULDN'T
HAVE HAPPENED.
>> [ SOBBING ]
>> Narrator: CLARA FEARS THAT
THERE IS NOTHING LEFT TO DO BUT
MOVE OUT OF THE HOUSE, BUT THIS
SEEMS LIKE AN UNREALISTIC
SOLUTION.
>> THERE WAS REALLY NO PLACE
TO GO.
WE HAD SUNK ALL OUR MONEY INTO
THAT HOUSE, AND I DIDN'T WANT TO
BE BEATEN.
NEITHER DID THE KIDS.
[ DOORBELL RINGS ]
>> Narrator: A FEW DAYS LATER...
>> YES, ARE YOU MRS. DANDY?
>> YES.
>> DO YOU HAVE A SON MIKE?
>> YES, I DO.
>> THERE HAS BEEN AN ACCIDENT.
>> WE JUST TOOK MICHAEL TO THE
EMERGENCY ROOM.
>> IT WAS BAD.
>> HE HAS A SERIOUS HEAD INJURY
AND A RUPTURED SPLEEN.
WE'RE TAKING HIM TO SURGERY NOW.
>> HE WAS BLEEDING SO BAD, THEY
SAID THEY;D HAVE TO REMOVE HIS
SPLEEN.
>> [ SOBBING ]
>> ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT.
>> [ SNIFFLES ]
>> EXCUSE ME.
I'M SORRY, FOLKS, I KNOW THIS IS
A TOUGH TIME FOR YOU.
>> YES?
>> IN THE AMBULANCE...
>> THE STATE TROOPERS WHO HAD
GOTTEN HIM OUT OF THE CAR SAID
THAT MIKE HAD SAID SOMEONE WAS
IN THE CAR WITH HIM.
>> WE'VE SEARCHED FOR A
PASSENGER BUT WERE UNABLE TO
FIND ANYBODY ELSE AT THE SCENE.
>> HONEY, HE WAS BY HIMSELF.
>> DR. WILSON, YOU'RE NEEDED
IN ICU.
>> Narrator: WEEKS LATER, MIKE
WAKES UP FROM A COMA.
>> MIKE? MIKE?
CAN YOU HEAR ME?
>> MOM, I -- I CAN'T SEE.
>> MIKE, JUST DON'T MOVE, HONEY.
>> MOM.
>> YOU'VE BEEN IN A BAD
ACCIDENT.
>> MAYBE I WAS CLUTCHING AT
STRAWS, MAYBE I WANTED SOMEBODY
TO BLAME, BUT MY GUT REACTION
WAS THAT WHATEVER WAS IN THE
HOUSE HAD DONE SOMETHING.
>> MANY PEOPLE HAVE DIED IN THIS
HOUSE.
>> Narrator: FATHER AL AND
PSYCHIC ALEX TANOUS RETURN TO
THE HOUSE TO MAKE ONE FINAL
ATTEMPT TO END THE HAUNTING.
>> I'M GOING TO TRY TO DE-PSYCH
YOUR HOUSE.
>> CONFESSION IS GOOD FOR THE
SOUL, EVEN AFTER DEATH.
OBVIOUSLY, THERE ARE SOME
SPIRITS HERE THAT FEEL THEY HAVE
A STORY TO TELL.
OKAY?
>> GOD BLESS YOU, FATHER.
>> WE'LL BE FINE.
WE'LL BE FINE.

VISION OF ONE PARTICULARLY ANGRY
SPIRIT IN THE ROOM.
>> THE ENERGY, A YOUNG WOMAN,
IS TELLING ME SHE DOES NOT WANT
TO LEAVE.
>> [ WHISPERS INDISTINCTLY ]
>> THE WOMAN USED TO LOCK
HERSELF IN THIS ROOM AND NOT
COME OUT.
>> [ WHISPERS INDISTINCTLY ]
>> SHE DOES NOT WANT THE OTHER
ENERGIES TO LEAVE.
>> [ WHISPERS INDISTINCTLY ]
>> NO. NO, YOU MUST LEAVE.
YOU MUST LEAVE!
>> I WANT TO STAY.
>> NO, THE ANSWER IS NO!
YOU MUST LEAVE!
YOU CANNOT STAY IN THIS HOUSE!
YOU CANNOT STAY!
>> I WANT TO STAY IN THIS HOUSE.
>> LET GO.
JESUS, LET GO.
>> Narrator: THE PSYCHIC AND THE
PRIEST MUST TRY TO RELEASE THE
NEGATIVE ENERGIES IN THE HOUSE.
>> WE'LL START BY HOLDING HANDS.
>> OKAY.
>> Narrator: THE PRIEST PREPARES
FOR A COMMON EXORCISM, THE MOST
EXTREME ACTION THAT HE CAN TAKE
ON HIS OWN AUTHORITY.
>> AND RELEASE THE ENERGY THAT
IS EVIL.
>> HE SAID THERE WERE MULTITUDES
OF ENTITIES THERE.
WHETHER THESE WERE PEOPLE WHO
WERE MURDERED THERE, I DON'T
KNOW.
HE DIDN'T SAY THAT.
BUT THAT WAS THE IMPLICATION.
>> DEFEND US IN THE CONFLICT
WHICH WE HAVE TO SUSTAIN AGAINST
THE PRINCE OF THIS WORLD OF
DARKNESS...
>> THIS WAS THE CULMINATION.
THIS WAS GOING TO DO IT.
>> ...AGAINST THE SPIRITS OF
WICKEDNESS IN HIGH PLACES.
>> IT HAD TO WORK THIS TIME.
>> COME TO THE RESCUE OF MEN
WHOM GOD HAS CREATED TO HIS
IMAGE AND LIKENESS, AND WHO HE
HAS REDEEMED AT A GREAT PRICE
FROM THE TYRANNY OF THE DEVIL.
CEASE BY YOUR AUDACITY, CUNNING
SERPENT, TO DELUDE THE HUMAN
RACE, TO PERSECUTE THE CHURCH,
TO TORMENT GOD'S ELECT, AND TO
SIFT THEM AS WHEAT.
THIS IS THE COMMAND MADE TO YOU
BY THE MOST HIGH GOD!
LET GOD ARISE AND LET HIS
ENEMIES BE SCATTERED AND LET
THEM THAT HATE HIM FLEE FROM
BEFORE HIS FACE!
AS SMOKE VANISHES, SO LET THEM
VANISH AWAY AS WAX MELTED BEFORE
THE FIRE, SO LET THE WICKED
PERISH AT THE PRESENCE OF GOD!
GOD THE FATHER COMMANDS YOU!
GOD THE SON COMMANDS YOU!
GOD THE HOLY SPIRIT COMMANDS
YOU!
[ ALL BREATHING HEAVILY ]
>> DEAR GOD.
>> WHAT I REMEMBER WAS THE
FEELING OF, "WOW, THEY'VE GOT
TO GO.
I MEAN, THIS IS STRONG.
THIS IS POWERFUL."
>> Narrator: FOR SEVERAL MONTHS,
THE DANDY FAMILY LIVES IN PEACE.
BUT WITHIN THE YEAR, THE
HAUNTING BEGINS AGAIN.
THE FAMILY IS FORCED TO MOVE.
UNABLE TO FIND A BUYER FOR THE
HOUSE, THEY DECLARE BANKRUPTCY.
CLARA HAS COME AWAY FROM HER
EXPERIENCE CONFLICTED ABOUT HER
OWN RELIGIOUS BELIEFS.
>> I HAVE TROUBLE BELIEVING IN
ANYTHING ANYMORE -- I REALLY
DO -- BECAUSE I THINK FORMAL
RELIGIONS, MAYBE EACH ONE OF
THEM HAS A LITTLE BIT OF THE
TRUTH, BUT NONE OF THEM HAVE IT
ALL, AND NOT ENOUGH OF THEM
ADMIT THAT THIS TYPE OF THING
HAPPENS.
