>> 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.
IN FLORIDA, THE DUNNAM FAMILY
MOVES INTO A HOME THAT SEEMS
IDEAL.
BUT THEY SOON FIND THEMSELVES
UNDER ATTACK.
AN UNSEEN ENEMY TRIES TO DRIVE
THEM OUT, FORCING THEM TO FIGHT
A WAR AGAINST THE WORLD OF THE
DEAD.
BETWEEN THE WORLD WE SEE AND THE
THINGS WE FEAR, THERE ARE DOORS.
WHEN THEY ARE OPENED, NIGHTMARES
BECOME REALITY.
IN CENTRAL FLORIDA, HALFWAY
BETWEEN ORLANDO AND
DAYTONA BEACH LIES THE TOWN OF
DELTONA.
LEGEND CLAIMS EXPLORERS CAME
HERE SEARCHING FOR A FOUNTAIN OF
EVERLASTING LIFE, BUT SOME FOUND
ONLY HARDSHIP AND DEATH.
THE SWAMPS HAVE LONG SINCE
DISPOSED OF THEIR BODIES.
YET MANY SAY THEIR GHOSTS STILL
HAUNT THE LIVING.
THE DUNNAM FAMILY ARRIVES IN
DELTONA IN JUNE 2001, LOOKING
FOR A LARGER HOME TO FIT THEIR
GROWING FAMILY.
>> IS THIS THE RIGHT PLACE?
>> Narrator: EDD EARNS A LIVING
RENOVATING HOUSES AFTER RETIRING
FROM A CAREER AS A U.S. ARMY
RANGER.
>> A GENTLEMAN THAT I DID SOME
WORK FOR, HE HAD A BUNCH OF
PROPERTY.
HE KNEW THAT WE WERE LOOKING FOR
A DIFFERENT PLACE.
HE'S LIKE, "HERE'S A SET OF
KEYS, BRING YOUR WIFE OUT HERE,
AND LET HER TAKE A LOOK AT IT,
AND, YOU KNOW, LOOK AROUND."
>> THAT'S REALLY SOMETHING?
WHAT DO YOU THINK?
>> Narrator: BETH HAS TAKEN TIME
OFF FROM HER WORK TO RAISE THEIR
DAUGHTER, EMILY.
>> I WAS REALLY EXCITED WHEN WE
PULLED UP AND SAW THIS NICE
HOUSE IN A NICE NEIGHBORHOOD.
THIS WAS A HOUSE WITH ITS OWN
YARD, AND IT WAS GONNA BE ENOUGH
FOR EVERYBODY TO, YOU KNOW, HAVE
THEIR OWN SPACE.
>> MATT.
>> Narrator: 12-YEAR-OLD MATT IS
EDD'S SON FROM A PREVIOUS
MARRIAGE.
HE STAYS WITH EDD AND BETH ON
WEEKENDS.
>> IT WAS AWESOME.
IT WAS JUST PICTURE-PERFECT.
I LIKED IT ALL.
>> WHEN'S HE GONNA MOVE HIS
STUFF?
>> HE SAID HE DIDN'T WANT IT
ANYMORE.
SAID WE COULD USE WHAT WE WANTED
AND PUT THE REST IN THE GARAGE.
>> THAT'S WEIRD.
>> Narrator: EDD AND BETH FIND
IT PUZZLING THAT THE OWNER
HASN'T MOVE HIS BELONGINGS.
>> CHECK OUT THE BEDROOMS.
SEE IF THERE'S ONE YOU LIKE.
>> OKAY, EDD, THERE'S A
HALF-EATEN FOOD PLATE.
THAT'S GROSS.
>> THAT MUCH?
>> LEFTOVER FOOD ON THE COUNTER,
OLD MILK IN THE REFRIGERATOR.
HE GOT UP AND LEFT, AND IT JUST
DIDN'T MAKE ANY SENSE.
>> WHAT DO YOU THINK?
HUH? SHOULD WE TAKE IT?
>> IT IS A GOOD DEAL, ESPECIALLY
IF WE CAN RENT TO OWN.
WE'RE NOT GONNA GET ANYTHING
ELSE FOR THIS PRICE, SO, YEAH.
>> WHAT ABOUT YOU, CHAMP?
>> IT'S AWESOME.
I'LL COME HERE ALL THE TIME.
>> WE WERE SO EXCITED ABOUT
GETTING THIS HOUSE.
WE WERE LIKE, "OKAY."
WE JUMPED RIGHT ON IT.
WE JUST WENT FOR IT.
>> Narrator: WITHIN DAYS, THE
DUNNAMS HAVE SETTLED COMFORTABLY
INTO THEIR NEW HOUSE.
>> IT WAS REALLY COOL.
EVERYBODY WAS HAPPY.
>> EVERYTHING WAS VERY QUIET,
AND WE WERE ALL COMFORTABLE AND
RELAXED.
I FELT LIKE SOMEBODY WAS
WATCHING ME.
>> HI, HONEY.
WHAT'S THE MATTER?
>> I JUST FEEL LIKE SOMEONE'S
WATCHING ME.
>> WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
>> I JUST FEEL LIKE SOMEBODY'S
OUT THERE.
>> THERE'S SOMEBODY OUT THERE?
>> SEEMS LIKE IT.
>> DID YOU SEE SOMETHING?
DID YOU HEAR SOMETHING?
>> I HEARD A LITTLE SOMETHING.
>> LIKE WHAT?
>> JUST A SMALL NOISE.
I DON'T KNOW.
>> COME ON, IT'S NOTHING, ALL
RIGHT?
>> YEAH.
>> TOMORROW I'LL PUT UP SOME
BLINDS, ALL RIGHT?
>> OKAY, GREAT, THANKS.
>> Narrator: A FEW NIGHTS
LATER...
>> I WAS IN A DEEP SLEEP WHEN I
SMELLED SMOKE.
>> HONEY, HONEY, GET UP.
I THINK I SMELL FIRE.
GET EMILY!
GO GET EMILY!
HEY, HEY, GET OUT!
GET OUT!
>> WHERE'S THE FIRE?
>> I DON'T KNOW.
THERE WAS A GUY IN HERE.
>> IS THERE A FIRE?
>> I DON'T KNOW.
>> I'M EITHER LOSING MY MIND OR
THERE WAS SOMETHING THERE.
>> WELL, WHAT EXACTLY DID YOU
SMELL?
>> IT WAS CIGAR SMOKE.
>> THERE WAS A GUY SITTING ON
THE BED, AND SHE GOES, "THERE'S
NO GUY THERE NOW."
>> I'M LIKE, "THERE WAS A GUY
HERE.
I SWEAR TO GOD, THERE WAS A GUY
HERE."
>> I BELIEVE YOU.
>> I JUST TOLD HIM THAT I'M
GONNA GO TO BED NOW BECAUSE
THERE'S NO FIRE AND YOU CAN
FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS GOING ON.
>> HEY, WHAT YOU GOT?
>> HERE YOU GUYS ARE.
>> YEAH.
>> THERE'S SOMETHING WE NEED TO
TALK ABOUT.
>> GOOD NEWS OR BAD?
>> UM, GOOD, I THINK.
UM...I'M EXPECTING.
>> WELL, THAT'S GOOD NEWS,
RIGHT?
>> WELL, HOW CAN WE AFFORD
ANOTHER CHILD WHEN WE CAN BARELY
MAKE ENDS MEET AS IT IS?
>> WE'LL MANAGE.
>> THE RESPONSIBILITY HIT FIRST,
AND THEN, YOU KNOW, "OKAY, THIS
IS A GOOD THING, THOUGH.
THIS IS A GOOD THING."
>> WHAT DO YOU THINK?
>> IT WAS AN EXPECTED PREGNANCY
BUT A WELCOMED ONE.
SO WE WERE VERY EXCITED ABOUT
IT.
>> Narrator: AS BETH'S PREGNANCY
PROGRESSES, SHE BEGINS TAKING
NAPS WHENEVER EMILY SLEEPS.
>> EDD, CAN YOU COME HOME RIGHT
AWAY, PLEASE?
I THINK SOMEONE'S IN THE HOUSE.
>> AND THERE SHE WAS IN THE
DOORWAY.
>> Narrator: EDD FINDS BETH AND
EMILY SAFE BUT SHAKEN.
>> AND SHE JUST STOOD THERE
STARING.
THEN WHEN I CALLED YOU, SHE
DISAPPEARED.
>> HEY, YOU ALL RIGHT?
>> I THINK SO.
>> WHAT DID SHE LOOK LIKE?
>> OLDER.
SHE WAS 60s, 70s.
>> THIS WOMAN SHE DESCRIBED FIT
MY MOTHER'S DESCRIPTION TO A TEE
BEFORE SHE HAD THE CANCER.
>> SOUNDS LIKE MY MOTHER.
>> YOUR PARENTS ALWAYS SAY WHEN
I DIE, I'M GONNA COME BACK AND
I'LL BE WATCHING OVER YOU.
I WAS KIND OF THRILLED BY THE
IDEA THAT MY MOTHER MIGHT HAVE
MADE A VISIT.
>> BUT THEN WHY IS SHE SCARING
YOUR PREGNANT WIFE HALF TO
DEATH?
I MEAN, THAT'S NOT PROTECTIVE.
>> YOU'RE RIGHT.
>> Narrator: BETH FINDS HER
GHOSTLY ENCOUNTER SO UNNERVING
THAT SHE BEGINS AVOIDING HER OWN
HOME.
>> I STARTED TAKING A LOT MORE
WALKS WITH EMILY.
WE SPENT AS MUCH TIME OUT OF THE
HOUSE AS WE COULD.
>> YOU'RE THIRSTY, AREN'T YOU?
WE'LL GET YOU SOMETHING TO
DRINK, SWEETIE.
YEAH, YOU'RE SUCH A GOOD GIRL.
[ WATER RUNNING ]
EDD?
EDD, IS THAT YOU?
OH, EMMY.
OH, EMMY, HONEY.
MOMMY'S SORRY.
LET'S GO.
LET'S GO, EMMY.
>> THAT WAS, LIKE, STRAIGHT OUT
OF THE SCENES FROM MOVIES.
THAT MADE ME RUN OUT OF THE
HOUSE.
>> Narrator: EDD IS SURPRISED TO
FIND HIS WIFE AND DAUGHTER
WAITING OUTSIDE.
>> HONEY, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
>> IT'S STILL HAPPENING, EDD.
IT'S STILL HAPPENING.
WE WALKED IN THE KITCHEN, ALL
THE CABINET DOORS WERE WIDE
OPEN.
I DON'T THINK THEY COULD HAVE
DONE THAT BY THEMSELVES.
AND THEN I HEARD THE SHOWER
GOING FULL BLAST, SO I THOUGHT
MAYBE IT WAS YOU, AND SO I WENT
DOWN THERE TO LOOK.
NO, NOBODY WAS THERE.
I'M SO SCARED, EDD.
>> I KNOW SHE WAS FEELING UNEASY
STAYING IN THE HOUSE BY HERSELF.
>> PLEASE.
>> IT WAS REALLY FRUSTRATING
BECAUSE I COULDN'T DO ANYTHING.
>> GET OUT.
GET OUT AND LEAVE US ALONE!
IF YOU WANT TO MESS WITH
SOMEBODY, MESS WITH ME, NOT WITH
MY PREGNANT WIFE!
>> I THINK IF I GET LOUD, IT
WILL MAKE IT GO AWAY.
>> I SWEAR TO YOU, I WILL MAKE
OUR HOUSE SAFE, OKAY?
ALL RIGHT.
>> Narrator: THAT NIGHT, EDD AND
BETH ARGUE ABOUT HOW TO DEAL
WITH THE GHOSTS.
>> THEY HAVEN'T DONE ANYTHING
HARMFUL.
>> YOU DON'T THINK THEY'RE
DANGEROUS.
>> THEY'RE JUST MESSING WITH
YOU.
>> I STILL DON'T LIKE IT.
>> YOU WANT TO GIVE UP THE
HOUSE?
>> NO, I LOVE THE HOUSE.
I JUST DON'T LOVE THEM.
>> I'LL FIX IT.
>> HOW?
>> I DON'T KNOW.
I'LL FIND A WAY.
IN THE MEANTIME, JUST LIGHTEN
UP, OKAY?
LOTS OF PEOPLE LIVE WITH GHOSTS,
HMM?
[ KNOCKING ON WALL ]
IT'S OKAY.
IT'S ALL RIGHT.
[ KNOCKING CONTINUES ]
>> I HAD CHILLS UP AND DOWN MY
SPINE.
>> IT'S PROBABLY JUST THE PIPES.
>> SCARED THE HELL OUT OF ME.
>> Narrator: A FEW DAYS LATER,
EDD'S SON, MATT, RETURNS FOR THE
WEEKEND.
>> YEAH, DAD?
YOU CALLED ME.
>> NO, I DIDN'T CALL YOU.
WHAT'S GOING ON, BUDDY?
WHAT ARE YOU HEARING?
HUH?
IS SOMETHING WRONG?
>> MATT, WHAT'S GOING ON?
>> NOTHING, HE DIDN'T HEAR
ANYTHING.
>> MATT, WHAT DID YOU HEAR?
>> NOTHING.
>> BUT HE SAID --
>> NO.
>> YOU COULD FEEL THE TENSION.
>> I'M GONNA GO OUTSIDE.
>> YOU KNEW IT WAS THERE, BUT
YOU DIDN'T KNOW WHAT IT WAS
ABOUT.
>> LOOK, I DON'T WANT THE
CHILDREN INVOLVED.
LET'S LEAVE THEM OUT OF IT, ALL
RIGHT?
>> WELL, MAYBE HE SHOULDN'T COME
OVER HERE UNTIL WHATEVER THIS
THING IS, IS OUT.
>> ANY CONTACT WITH THE
TERRORISTS WAS AN OPPORTUNITY TO
GATHER INTELLIGENCE.
THE GUNMEN WHO ACCEPTED THE
PHONE WAS --
>> [ SPEAKING NATIVE LANGUAGE ]
>> THE TERRORISTS DEMANDS WERE
COMPLEX.
>> I WAS PETRIFIED.
I WAS JUST SO FREAKED OUT.
>> EDD, IS THAT YOU?
>> Narrator: MATT RETURNS TO HIS
MOTHER'S HOUSE.
HE DOESN'T TELL ANYONE ABOUT HIS
EXPERIENCE.
[ RATTLING ]
>> DID YOU HEAR THAT?
>> YEAH, WHAT WAS THAT?
[ RATTLING CONTINUES ]
ALL RIGHT, CALM DOWN, ALL RIGHT?
I'LL CHECK IT OUT, OKAY?
>> YOU COULD HEAR SOMEBODY BEING
DRAGGED.
I COULD HEAR IT.
NOTHING WOULD BE THERE.
>> GET OUT OF HERE.
GET OUT NOW!
GET OUT AND LEAVE US ALONE!
WE DON'T WANT YOU HERE!
LEAVE, NOW!
>> EDD, PLEASE DON'T DO THAT.
I'M GONNA CHECK ON EMILY.
>> I WAS STARTING TO PANIC
BECAUSE I WAS CONCERNED FOR HER.
WHAT DO WE DO?
WHO DO WE TURN TO?
I COULDN'T DO ANYTHING, AND IT
MADE ME FEEL HOPELESS.
THAT'S WHEN I GOT ONLINE AND
TRIED TO FIND ANSWERS.
[ E-MAIL ALERT RINGS ]
>> Narrator: EDD RECEIVES A
REPLY FROM DUSTY SMITH, FOUNDER
OF THE DAYTONA BEACH PARANORMAL
RESEARCH GROUP.
[ TELEPHONE RINGS ]
>> DUSTY SMITH.
MAY I HELP YOU?
>> IT'S ED -- EDD DUNNAM.
>> HI.
>> YEAH, THANKS FOR YOUR OFFER.
>> WHY DON'T YOU START BY
TELLING ME A LITTLE BIT MORE
ABOUT WHEN YOU SAW THE GHOST?
>> WE TALKED ON THE PHONE FOR A
GOOD WHILE.
SHE WASN'T BEING JUDGMENTAL.
SHE WAS VERY COOL.
>> HE KEPT SAYING OVER AND OVER,
"I'M NOT CRAZY.
THIS IS REALLY GOING ON."
IT'S BEEN MY EXPERIENCE OVER THE
YEARS THAT WHEN SOMEBODY TELLS
YOU THAT, THEN YOU'VE GOT A
SOLID HAUNTING.
>> Narrator: DUSTY ARRANGES A
TIME FOR HER RESEARCH TEAM TO
VISIT THE DUNNAMS' HOUSE TO
CONDUCT AN INVESTIGATION.
>> WE'LL SEE YOU THEN.
>> THANKS.
>> Narrator: TWO NIGHTS LATER...
DUSTY AND HER TEAM ARRIVE.
THEY BRING EQUIPMENT TO MEASURE
AND RECORD POSSIBLE PARANORMAL
ACTIVITY.
>> WE'RE GONNA GO INSIDE, MEET
THE FAMILY.
WE'LL GET TO WORK, OKAY?
HI, I'M DUSTY SMITH.
>> HI, I'M EDD.
THIS IS MY WIFE, BETH.
>> HI, BETH.
>> SO, I GUESS THE SOONER YOU
GET STARTED, THE SOONER WE CAN
GET RID OF THOSE GHOSTS.
>> YEAH, WELL, IT COULD TAKE A
LITTLE TIME.
>> MOST CLIENTS THINK YOU'RE
GONNA WALK IN AND TAKE A MAGIC
WAND AND WAVE IT AROUND THE AREA
AND EVERYTHING'S GONNA BE FINE
AND DANDY, AND, UNFORTUNATELY,
IT DOESN'T WORK THAT WAY.
>> WHAT HAPPENED IN THE HALF
HOUR BEFORE YOU SAW THE FEMALE
APPARITION?
>> Narrator: DUSTY INTERVIEWS
EDD AND BETH AS HER TEAM SETS UP
ITS EQUIPMENT.
THE RESEARCHERS RECORD THE
BASELINE TEMPERATURE IN EACH
ROOM SO THEY CAN IDENTIFY SUDDEN
CHANGES.
THEY ALSO RECORD EMF READINGS.
DUSTY THEORIZES THAT
FLUCTUATIONS IN ELECTROMAGNETIC
FIELDS CAN BE CAUSED BY
PARANORMAL ACTIVITY.
>> I STARTED NOTICING MORE
NOISES AND ACTIVITY SINCE I
FOUND OUT I WAS PREGNANT.
>> MY WIFE SAW THE GHOST HERE.
>> Narrator: THE RESEARCHERS
INVESTIGATE THE AREAS WHERE EDD
AND BETH REPORT SEEING
APPARITIONS.
>> I SMELLED SMOKE, AND I WORKED
MY WAY DOWN THE HALLWAY.
SOMETHING OVER IN HERE.
THE FIRST GHOST WAS HERE, AND I
WAS STANDING RIGHT HERE, AND
THEN HE WAS JUST SEATED THERE ON
THE BED.
>> CAN YOU SHOW ME EXACTLY WHERE
HE WAS ON THE BED?
>> AAH!
>> YOU ALL RIGHT?
>> IT YANKED MY HEAD BACKWARDS
TO WHERE IT LITERALLY HURT MY
NECK.
>> YOU ALL RIGHT?
>> IT WAS VERY DISTINCT, VERY
FIRM, VERY "I AM HERE, AND I
WANT YOU TO KNOW IT."
>> OKAY.
I AM DETECTING A LOT OF ACTIVITY
HERE, SO LET'S SET UP AN AUDIO
RECORDER HERE ON THIS TABLE AND
A VIDEO CAMERA DOWN THE HALL.
>> WHAT ARE THE RECORDERS FOR?
>> EVPs.
IT'S ELECTRONIC VOICE PHENOMENA.
SPIRIT VOICES ARE SOMETIMES
CAPTURED BY RECORDERS WHEN WE
CAN'T HEAR THEM WITH THE NAKED
EAR.
>> Narrator: FOR THE NEXT FEW
HOURS, THE RESEARCHERS CONTINUE
TO DOCUMENT TEMPERATURE
FLUCTUATIONS AND EMF READINGS.
DUSTY LEAVES WITH A WEALTH OF
RAW DATA TO ANALYZE.
>> FIRST WE NEED TO FIGURE OUT
EXACTLY WHAT YOU'VE GOT.
>> OUR RULE OF THUMB, WE HAVE TO
HAVE THREE PIECES OF EVIDENCE
THAT BACK ONE ANOTHER UP.
AND THEN WE CAN SAY, "OKAY, THAT
WAS A PARANORMAL EXPERIENCE."
>> Narrator: THE NEXT DAY, DUSTY
PICKS UP PROPERTY RECORDS FROM
THE COUNTY COURTHOUSE.
SHE DISCOVERS THE DUNNAMS' HOUSE
HAS BEEN SOLD SEVERAL TIMES,
OFTEN FOR MUCH LESS THAN NEARBY
PROPERTIES.
SHE LEARNS THAT LOCAL NATIVE
AMERICANS ONCE CONSIDERED AREAS
AROUND DELTONA SACRED LAND.
DUSTY BELIEVES TWO PREVIOUS
OWNERS, A MAN AND AN ELDERLY
WOMAN, DIED INSIDE THE HOUSE.
>> IT GAVE ME HOPE THAT WE WERE
ACTUALLY FINDING A REASON FOR
THE LEVEL OF ACTIVITY THAT WAS
GOING ON IN THE HOUSE.
[ INDISTINCT VOICES ]
>> Narrator: DUSTY IS ALARMED TO
HEAR SO MANY VOICES ON THE TAPE.
>> WE MAY BE UP AGAINST
SOMETHING THAT WE WEREN'T READY
TO HANDLE.
>> Narrator: THE RECORDING FROM
THE DUNNAMS' HOME CONTAINS MORE
THAN A DOZEN POSSIBLE SPIRIT
VOICES.
DUSTY REALIZES SHE CANNOT HANDLE
THIS ALONE.
HER RESEARCH LEADS HER TO A
PSYCHIC MEDIUM IN PENNSYLVANIA
NAMED KELLY WEAVER.
[ E-MAIL ALERT RINGS ]
KELLY IS INTRIGUED BY DUSTY'S
MESSAGE.
>> THERE WAS JUST SOMETHING
ABOUT IT -- PLEASE HELP -- THAT
CAUGHT MY EYE AND I REALLY
WANTED TO SEE WHAT I COULD DO.
>> Narrator: KELLY ASKS DUSTY TO
SEND PHOTOS OF THE HOUSE WITHOUT
ANY PEOPLE OR PARANORMAL
ACTIVITY IN THEM.
>> I DON'T LIKE TO KNOW
ANYTHING.
JUST SEND ME THE PHOTO, YOU
KNOW, AND LET ME SEE WHAT I GET.
>> IT LOOKS LIKE SHE PROBABLY
DIED IN THIS ROOM.
AND THEN THE MAN WOULD HAVE DIED
DOWN THE HALL.
>> AT LEAST WE'RE STARTING TO
GET SOME ANSWERS.
I WAS HOPING THAT WE COULD MAKE
IT GO AWAY.
>> THAT DOESN'T MAKE ME FEEL ANY
BETTER.
>> WHAT IF THIS IS NOT A
FRIENDLY SPIRIT OR A BUNCH OF
FRIENDLY SPIRITS?
>> IT COULD HELP US FIGURE OUT
HOW TO GET RID OF THEM.
>> WE WERE HOPEFUL THAT WE WERE
GOING TO COME UP WITH AN ANSWER
FOR THE REASON OF THE HAUNTING.
>> Narrator: IN PENNSYLVANIA,
KELLY RECEIVES THE PHOTOS DUSTY
SENT HER.
>> EVERY TIME I TRIED TO TOUCH
THEM, I GOT A HEADACHE.
IT'S VERY UNUSUAL FOR ME TO GET
A HEADACHE OR A BAD FEELING FROM
A PHOTOGRAPH.
THAT'S WHAT REALLY SET THESE
PHOTOS APART.
IT JUST WAS REALLY STRANGE.
I WAS DREADING DOING THE
READING.
I DREADED IT.
>> Narrator: A FEW WEEKS LATER,
EDD ARRIVES HOME ONE NIGHT TO
FIND HIS WIFE AND YOUNG DAUGHTER
WAITING FOR HIM OUTSIDE.
>> I JUST FELT REALLY UNEASY
ABOUT THE WHOLE HOUSE NOW.
I WAS NOT GOING ANYWHERE IN THE
HOUSE BY MYSELF ANYMORE.
>> YEAH, WELL, I FEEL MUCH SAFER
OUT HERE THAN I DO IN THERE.
>> THAT IS YOUR HOUSE!
YOU HAVE A RIGHT TO LIVE IN YOUR
HOUSE!
>> WE WERE FIGHTING JUST TO
FIGHT BECAUSE WE WERE IRRITATED
WITH THE SITUATION.
>> WE CAN'T STAY HERE.
>> WE DON'T HAVE IT.
>> EMILY WAS NOT HOLDING UP VERY
WELL.
YOU COULD TELL, THOUGH, SHE
WASN'T GETTING ANY SLEEP.
[ EMILY CRYING ]
>> IT INTERFERED IN EVERY ASPECT
NOW OF OUR LIFE.
I WAS REALLY TURNING NASTY.
[ TELEPHONE DIALING ]
>> DUSTY SMITH.
>> DUSTY, EDD.
LOOK, WE CAN'T TAKE THIS
ANYMORE, ALL RIGHT?
WE NEED TO YOU COME OVER HERE
TONIGHT AND TELL US WHAT OUR
OPTIONS ARE.
WE NEED THESE GHOSTS OUT OF HERE
NOW.
[ BUSY SIGNAL ]
[ RATTLING ]
WHERE ARE YOU?
I HEARD YOU.
GO ON, GET OUT OF HERE!
YOU BETTER RUN!
>> OH, I KNOW YOU'RE THERE.
I'M COMING!
>> EDD, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
>> IT'S ON THE ROOF.
>> YOU HAVE TO STOP CONFRONTING
IT.
>> THE FACT THAT EDD WAS EX-ARMY
RANGER BASICALLY DICTATED HIS
PERSONALITY.
HE LITERALLY TOOK THE STANCE OF
"THIS IS MY GROUND.
YOU'RE NOT GONNA TAKE IT FROM ME
OR MY FAMILY."
>> HEY.
LET'S FIGURE THIS OUT.
WE COULD TRY TO GET A PRIEST OUT
TO BLESS THE HOUSE.
>> WE DON'T BELONG TO A CHURCH.
>> THEN A PRIEST PROBABLY
WOULDN'T COME ANYTIME SOON.
>> THAT'S NOT GONNA WORK.
WHAT ELSE HAVE YOU GOT?
>> HE WAS GETTING LOUDER...
MORE CHALLENGING TO EVERYONE,
INCLUDING MYSELF.
>> WELL, WE COULD TRY TO DO A
CLEANSING OURSELVES.
WE COULD COMBINE OUR USUAL
TECHNIQUES WITH SOME NATIVE
AMERICAN TECHNIQUES BECAUSE OF
THEIR HISTORY IN THIS AREA.
>> SOUNDS GREAT.
CAN YOU DO IT AS SOON AS
POSSIBLE, RIGHT, BETH?
>> UM, YOU'VE GOT TO GIVE ME A
COUPLE DAYS.
>> THERE'S ANOTHER THING.
EMILY HASN'T BEEN SLEEPING, AND
I DON'T KNOW WHY.
>> SHE'S GETTING TIRED, MORE
TIRED AND MORE TIRED, AND EVERY
LITTLE THING WAS SETTING HER
OFF.
SO I COULDN'T FIGURE OUT WHY SHE
WOULDN'T BE SLEEPING.
>> COULD YOU USE ONE OF YOUR
VIDEO CAMERAS TO FIND OUT?
>> YEAH, THAT'S A GREAT IDEA.
>> OKAY, THANKS.
>> ALL RIGHT, GOOD, LET'S GO.
>> SO, WHAT WE'LL DO IS SET UP A
VIDEO RECORDER, A SOUND RECORDER
IN THIS ROOM, AND IT WILL RECORD
EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENS IN
EMILY'S ROOM WHEN YOU CAN'T
BE --
[ EMILY CRYING ]
>> I'M SWEATING, I'M SO MAD.
NOW IT'S FOCUSING ON EMILY.
>> WHERE ARE YOU?
WHERE ARE YOU, HUH?
WHAT ARE YOU, HIDING?!
WHERE ARE YOU, HUH?!
YOU THINK YOU'RE IN HELL NOW?!
WAIT TILL I GET DONE WITH YOU!
LEAVE MY DAUGHTER ALONE!
>> EDD, EDD!
>> SO, WE'LL HAVE EMILY'S WHOLE
NIGHT'S SLEEP ON VIDEO.
>> Narrator: EDD AND BETH MOVE
EMILY'S CRIB TO THEIR BEDROOM
WHERE THEY FEEL SHE WILL BE
SAFE.
A FEW NIGHTS LATER, DUSTY
RETURNS WITH HER RESEARCHERS TO
PERFORM A CLEANSING RITUAL.
DUSTY'S TEAM USES HOLY WATER AND
A CHRISTIAN PRAYER...ALONG WITH
A NATIVE AMERICAN TRADITION OF
BURNING SAGE.
>> GOOD, THAT'S RIGHT.
GET IT INTO THE CORNERS.
>> THE SMELL OF THE SAGE IS
SUPPOSED TO MAKE SPIRITS LEAVE.
>> AND WHILE YOU'RE DOING THAT,
YOU CAN SAY NOTHING NEGATIVE IS
ALLOWED TO STAY IN THIS SPACE.
ONLY GOOD AND POSITIVE ENERGY
CAN REMAIN IN THIS SPACE.
>> NOTHING NEGATIVE CAN STAY IN
THIS SPACE.
ONLY GOOD AND POSITIVE ENERGY
CAN STAY IN THIS SPACE.
>> GOOD.
OVER HERE.
>> NOTHING NEGATIVE CAN STAY IN
THIS SPACE.
ONLY GOOD...
>> Narrator: BETH HELPS THE
GROUP CLEANSE THE ENTIRE HOUSE.
>> BETH, I'LL GIVE YOU THIS
CARD.
IT'S A PRAYER TO SAINT MICHAEL.
IT MAY MAKE YOU FEEL BETTER IF
YOU'RE EVER UNCOMFORTABLE IN THE
HOUSE.
>> AFTER EVERYTHING WAS OVER, I
FELT A CALM.
I FELT LIKE THEIR COMING OUT AND
TRYING WAS REALLY HELPFUL.
>> I'D BETTER SWITCH OUT THE
VIDEOTAPE IN YOUR ROOM.
>> OH, SURE.
SHE'S FINALLY SLEEPING WELL.
>> I'LL TRY NOT TO WAKE HER.
>> MY HOPE AT THAT POINT WAS WE
DID IT.
WE HELPED THIS FAMILY.
THEY'VE TAKEN THE HIGH GROUND.
THEY WON THEIR HOUSE BACK.
>> Narrator: THE NEXT DAY, DUSTY
REVIEWS THE SURVEILLANCE TAPE.
>> Narrator: DUSTY CONTINUES TO
STUDY THE SURVEILLANCE VIDEO OF
EMILY'S CRIB.
900 MILES AWAY, PSYCHIC MEDIUM
KELLY WEAVER PREPARES TO READ
DUSTY'S PHOTOS.
>> MAY MY GUARDIAN SPIRITS AND
ANGELS GUIDE ME AS I READ.
KEEP ME SAFE.
>> I HEARD A VOICE THAT WAS
NEITHER MALE NOR FEMALE.
IT CALLED OUT EMILY'S NAME.
>> IT SEEMED TO PULSATE IN MY
HAND.
IT FELT LIKE THERE WAS JUST A
PORTAL OF ENERGY WAITING TO
EXPLODE.
THERE WAS SO MUCH NEGATIVE
ENERGY IN THIS HOUSE, THE ROOF
WOULD JUST BLOW OFF.
THIS IS SOMETHING MORE EVIL.
THIS IS A DARKNESS.
>> Narrator: DUSTY FEARS EMILY
IS IN IMMINENT DANGER.
[ BUSY SIGNAL ]
[ CELLPHONE RINGS ]
>> DUSTY SMITH.
>> I TOLD HER I REALLY HAD BAD
FEELINGS OF WHAT WAS HAPPENING.
>> I ALSO SENSE AN EVIL
NONHUMAN ENTITY.
>> THE ONLY THING I COULD THINK
OF WAS PLEASE DON'T LET
SOMETHING ELSE HAPPEN.
>> I'M ON MY WAY OVER THERE NOW.
>> WHAT'S GOING ON?
>> WHERE'S EMILY?
>> IN OUR ROOM WITH EDD.
WHY?
[ EMILY CRYING ]
>> OH, THANK GOD.
>> DUSTY, WHAT IS IT?
>> WE HAVE TO GET YOU OUT OF
THIS HOUSE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
>> WHY NOW?
>> BECAUSE OF WHAT'S ON THIS
TAPE.
>> Narrator: DUSTY BELIEVES THAT
AN ENTITY IS THREATENING THEIR
DAUGHTER.
>> WHY WOULD ANYTHING WANT TO
HURT HER?
I WAS PHYSICALLY SICK.
>> WE'RE GETTING OUT OF HERE.
WE'RE GETTING OUT OF HERE.
GET THE BAGS!
WE'RE GONNA STAY WITH MY
PARENTS.
I AM NOT RAISING ANOTHER CHILD
IN THIS HOUSE.
>> LET'S GO.
LET'S JUST GET OUT OF HERE.
>> JUST GO, JUST GO!
HERE, YOU TAKE THE BABY.
I'LL GET THE SUITCASE.
JUST TAKE THE BABY.
GO.
JUST GO.
GO! GO! GO!
>> WE ESCAPED, LITERALLY.
BARELY.
>> Narrator: THE DUNNAMS FIND A
NEW HOME IN A NEIGHBORING TOWN,
AND BETH GIVES BIRTH TO A
HEALTHY BABY BOY.
>> I JUST LOVE YOU.
>> WHO'S THAT, HUH?
>> Narrator: THE DUNNAMS ARE
RELIEVED THAT EMILY HAS NO
MEMORY OF WHAT SHE ENDURED.
>> SEE BABY.
LOOK AT THE BABY.
>> I KEPT THINKING THAT SHE'S
NOT GONNA BE ABLE TO RECOVER
FROM THIS.
YOU KNOW, SHE'S GONNA BE DAMAGED
HER WHOLE LIFE.
BUT EMILY IS TOTALLY FUNCTIONAL,
NORMAL CHILD.
WE'RE A VERY STRONG FAMILY NOW.
>> Narrator: EDD FINALLY ACCEPTS
THAT HE CANNOT FIGHT WHAT HE
DOESN'T UNDERSTAND.
>> BE PROTECTIVE, THAT'S GREAT,
BUT LISTEN TO THE PEOPLE AROUND
YOU.
I DON'T CARE HOW BIG OR MEAN OR
TOUGH YOU THINK YOU ARE, YOU'RE
NOT GONNA WIN.
