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 SINGLE MOTHER SELENA WARNER MOVES INTO A NEW HOUSE,
A CHILDHOOD FEAR COMES BACK TO HAUNT HER.
SHE TRIES TO IGNORE IT.
BUT WHEN HER SISTER ENCOUNTERS SOMETHING SUPERNATURAL,
SELENA CAN NO LONGER DENY THAT WHAT SHE FEARS IS REAL.
BETWEEN THE WORLD WE SEE AND THE THINGS WE FEAR,
THERE ARE DOORS.
WHEN THEY ARE OPENED, NIGHTMARES BECOME REALITY.
IN THE NORTHERN STATE OF MICHIGAN,
THE DARK SHADOW OF WINTER DOMINATES MUCH OF THE YEAR.
VAST NUMBERS OF RESTLESS SOULS ARE BURIED HERE.
DESPITE THE BARRIERS OF ICE AND HARDENED EARTH,
THEIR SPIRITS ROAM THE FROZEN LANDSCAPE...
LOST...
UNAWARE OF THEIR OWN DEATH...
STILL SEEKING THE WARMTH OF HUMAN CONTACT.
THANK YOU.
IN THE SPRING OF 2000,
SELENA WARNER SEPARATES FROM HER HUSBAND
AND TRIES TO MAKE A FRESH START.
THIS IS MY STREET!
ARE YOU EXCITED?
Selena: OUT OF ALL THE HOUSE SEARCHING I HAD DONE,
THERE WAS NOTHING THAT WAS QUITE LIKE THIS HOUSE.
AND, YOU KNOW, IT WAS PERFECT.
I WAS SO EXCITED ABOUT GETTING THE STUFF IN THERE
SO I COULD JUST START LIVING MY LIFE IN THIS BIG HOUSE.
WOW!
Narrator: SELENA'S SISTER ADRIENNE LIVES NEARBY
AND IS A CONSTANT SOURCE OF SUPPORT.
Adrienne: SELENA AND I ARE VERY CLOSE.
WHEN SHE WAS A CHILD, I ALWAYS PLAYED SECOND MOTHER TO HER.
AND IT GREW STRONGER AS WE GREW OLDER.
SO, THIS IS GABE'S ROOM.
Narrator: SELENA'S 3-YEAR-OLD SON, GABE,
STAYS WITH HER GRANDMOTHER WHILE SHE FINISHES MOVING.
IT'S SO MUCH BIGGER THAN HIS LAST ONE.
I KNOW -- A PLACE FOR HIS TOYS, EVERYTHING.
NOW, WHICH ONE'S THE CLOSET?
THIS ONE RIGHT HERE.
IT'S BIG. IT'S NICE. IT'S TOO BIG FOR HIM.
IS THAT ANOTHER CLOSET, OR WHERE DOES THAT GO?
THAT ACTUALLY GOES UP TO THE ATTIC.
CAN I SEE IT?
OKAY.
Narrator: SELENA HAS ALWAYS BEEN SCARED OF ATTICS...
EVER SINCE SHE SLEPT IN ONE AS A CHILD.
WELL, THERE IT IS.
WELL, GO UP.
OH, ALL RIGHT.
[ CREAKING ]
IT'S KIND OF SMALL UP HERE,
BUT THIS COULD BE USED FOR SOMEBODY'S ROOM.
DON'T YOU THINK?
OH! OH! OH!
WHAT'S WRONG?
MY HEAD.WHAT IS WRONG? TALK TO ME.
MY HEAD.
OKAY, YOU WANT TO GO DOWNSTAIRS?
OKAY, LET'S GO. OH, MY GOD.
Selena: IT WAS LIKE MY HEAD WAS FILLED WITH FOG OR SOMETHING.
IT WAS JUST A LOT OF PRESSURE AND TENSION.
ARE YOU OKAY? ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?
CAN I GET YOU SOMETHING?
AS SOON AS I GOT TO THE BOTTOM OF THE STEP,
IT JUST LIFTED OFF OF ME.
I FEEL BETTER NOW.
IT JUST BECAME CALM AGAIN.
IT WAS JUST WHEN WE WERE UPSTAIRS.
ALL RIGHT, WELL...
[ SIGHS ]
YOU KNOW WHAT? I DON'T...
WILL YOU HELP ME PUT THIS IN FRONT OF THE DOOR?
I DON'T WANT GABE GOING UP THERE.
I TELL YOU WHAT.
WHY DON'T WE JUST GO
GET THE REST OF YOUR STUFF MOVED IN, OKAY?
IT'S GOING BE ALL RIGHT.
[ HAMMERING ]
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
OH, HONEY, THAT LOOKS GREAT!
OH, SHOOT. WOULD YOU GRAB MY -- THANK YOU.
GOT IT?
Narrator: LATER THAT DAY...
TAKE THESE.
HUH.
IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S BEEN CUT.
IT PROBABLY JUST BREAKS THAT WAY.
THAT'S OKAY, THOUGH.
I WILL FIX THIS LIKE IT WAS NEVER, EVER BROKEN.
THAT NIGHT, ONCE THE HOUSE IS READY,
SELENA PICKS UP HER SON, GABE, FROM HER GRANDMOTHER'S HOUSE.
COME HERE.
OH, GOD, YOU'RE GETTING BIG.
DID YOU HAVE A GOOD DAY? YEAH.
YOU HAD A GOOD TIME? YEAH?
THAT REMINDS ME.
DID YOU GET A CHANCE
TO THINK ABOUT THAT QUESTION I ASKED YOU?
I DID.
AND?
OF COURSE I WOULD LIKE TO WATCH GABE.
Narrator: WITH HER GRANDMOTHER GETTING OLDER,
SELENA NEEDS SOMEONE TO TAKE CARE OF GABE WHILE SHE WORKS.
OH, THANK YOU! OH, MY GOD!
Selena: IT WAS A VERY PERFECT ARRANGEMENT.
WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO PLAY WITH?
I KNEW THAT HE WAS GOING TO BE WITH SOMEONE SAFE
AND, YOU KNOW, HE WOULD BE OKAY.
Good night, sweetheart.
Mommy's big boy.
Gabe: MOMMY!
MOMMY!
HEY, WHAT'S WRONG?
I DON'T LIKE IT HERE.
WHY DON'T YOU LIKE IT HERE?
IT'S SCARY.
WHY IS IT SCARY? 'CAUSE IT'S NEW?
Selena: HE COULDN'T REALLY EXPLAIN TO ME WHAT WAS WRONG.
OH, HONEY, THAT'S ALL RIGHT.
LIE BACK DOWN. LIE BACK DOWN.
GOOD BOY.
I AM GOING TO BE HERE WITH YOU, OKAY?
I'M ALWAYS RIGHT DOWN THE HALL, ALL RIGHT?
[ CAR ALARM ACTIVATES ]
Narrator: THE NEXT DAY, ADRIENNE RETURNS TO WATCH GABE.
Adrienne: HEY, IT'S ME.
HEY.
HEY, I'M SO SORRY I'M LATE.
THAT'S ALL RIGHT.
OH, MAN, OKAY.
OKAY, GABE IS TAKING A NAP.
OKAY.
I USUALLY FEED HIM AROUND NOON.
OKAY.
I'LL BE AT WORK IF YOU NEED ANYTHING.
YOU KNOW HOW TO REACH ME.
OH, AND I MADE A KEY FOR YOU, MADAME.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
YOU'RE VERY WELCOME.
CALL ME IF YOU NEED ANYTHING.
OKAY. HAVE A GOOD DAY. I'LL SEE YOU LATER.
[ CREAKING ]
Adrienne: I KNEW SOMEBODY WAS THERE, JUST WATCHING.
LEAVE ME ALONE.
STAY AWAY FROM ME!
[ BREATHING HEAVILY ]
HEY.
WHAT'S WRONG?
I DON'T WANT TO FREAK YOU OUT,
BUT SOME REALLY WEIRD THINGS
HAVE BEEN GOING ON AROUND HERE.
LIKE WHAT? WHAT'S GOING ON?
I WAS BOTHERED BY THE FEELINGS THAT I WAS HAVING,
BUT I HAD TO LET HER KNOW.
I FEEL LIKE I'M BEING WATCHED.
I COULD SWEAR THERE IS SOMEBODY HERE.
Selena: MY SISTER WAS LIKE, "WELL, YOU KNOW,
COULD SOMETHING BE GOING ON HERE?"
AND I WAS LIKE, "I DON'T KNOW."
DO YOU EVER FEEL THAT?
SHE KIND OF SHRUGGED IT OFF A LITTLE BIT --
DIDN'T WANT TO BELIEVE IT.
I DON'T EITHER.
[ CREAKING ]
[ CRASH ]
[ BREATHING HEAVILY ]
[ WATER RUNNING ]
[ BREATHING HEAVILY ]
I MEAN, I SERIOUSLY THOUGHT I WAS GOING INSANE.
Narrator: THE NEXT MORNING...
[ TELEVISION PLAYING INDISTINCTLY ]
HONEY, YOU'RE STANDING TOO CLOSE TO THE TV, SWEETIE.
COME ON.
NOW, ISN'T THAT BETTER?
YOU ARE NOT GOING TO GET ANY HEADACHES NOW.
OH, MY GOD.
HEY.
HEY! HOW ARE YOU, DARLING?
[ SIGHS ]
ARE YOU OKAY?
NOT REALLY.
IS GABE OKAY?
YEAH, YEAH. HE'S FINE. HE'S FINE.
UM...I WANT TO MOVE OUT.
Narrator: SELENA BELIEVES HER HOUSE IS HAUNTED.
ADRIENNE DOES, TOO.
I THINK I GOT US SOMETHING THAT CAN HELP.
BUT SHE'S MORE INTRIGUED THAN FRIGHTENED.
Selena: SHE HAD BROUGHT IN A BOOK THAT IF YOU TAKE A PICTURE
IF SOMETHING'S THERE, IT'S GOING TO COME OUT ON THE PICTURE.
HOPEFULLY THESE PICTURES MIGHT BE ABLE TO TELL ME SOMETHING.
WE CAN FIGURE OUT WHAT TO DO,
OR WE CAN TAKE THE PICTURES TO THE EXPERTS
AND SEE IF THEY CAN SHOW US WHAT TO DO.
WHAT DO YOU THINK?
I THINK IT'S WORTH A SHOT.
OKAY.
HERE. I'LL TAKE THIS.
OKAY. THANKS.
OKAY, I'LL BE RIGHT BACK.
SELENA...
SELENA, COME HERE.
COME HERE. TAKE A PICTURE.
THERE IS SOMETHING RIGHT BESIDE ME.
[ CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS ]
OH, THAT IS SO WEIRD.
I TOLD HER THAT I FELT THAT SOMEBODY WAS THERE.
OKAY.
IT WAS SO WEIRD.
I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO THINK.
I HAD NEVER EXPERIENCED ANYTHING LIKE THIS EVER BEFORE.
LET'S TAKE THE REST OF THE HOUSE.
OKAY. ALL RIGHT.
OKAY.
[ CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS ]
Adrienne: ARE YOU OKAY?
YEAH. IT'S COMING BACK, BUT I'M OKAY.
[ CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS ]
HEY.
Narrator: THE NEXT NIGHT, SELENA RETURNS HOME FROM WORK
WITH THE DEVELOPED PHOTOGRAPHS
THAT SHE AND ADRIENNE TOOK AROUND THE HOUSE.
WHAT'S WRONG?
LOOK AT THESE.
Adrienne: SURE ENOUGH, RIGHT AWAY I CAUGHT IT.
IT LOOKS LIKE A MAN.
IT WAS A MAN, A SLENDER MAN, VERY TALL.
I COULD SEE A CIGARETTE
WITH SMOKE COMING FROM THE CIGARETTE.
AND LOOK AT THAT.
OH, MY GOD.
SCREAMING -- IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S SCREAMING.
Selena: THERE WAS A FACE.
IT WAS LIKE A GHOSTLY FACE, AND I WAS GETTING THE IMPRESSION
THAT HE WAS SCREAMING AT ME TO GET OUT.
WHAT AM I GONNA DO? WHAT CAN I DO?
I'M SAVING, BUT IT'S GONNA BE A MONTH BEFORE I CAN MOVE OUT.
I KNEW I COULDN'T LEAVE,
SO I NEEDED TO TRY TO FIGURE OUT WHAT ELSE I COULD DO.
I MEAN, THERE'S A HEAD.
I WAS TERRIFIED.
I WANT TO MOVE GABE INTO MY ROOM.
I WANT HIM TO SLEEP WITH ME.
I DON'T WANT HIM NEAR THAT DOOR.
I COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND.
I DIDN'T KNOW IF WHAT WAS THERE WAS GOOD OR BAD.
WE'LL GET THROUGH THIS. I PROMISE.
Narrator: ADRIENNE INSISTS THAT SHE AND SELENA
ASK THEIR NEIGHBORS WHAT THEY KNOW ABOUT THE HOUSE.
LOOK, THIS STUFF HAPPENS ALL THE TIME.
DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT.
WHOEVER WE TALK TO, WE CAN JUST ASK THEM
IF THEY'VE EVER NOTICED ANYTHING WEIRD
HAPPENING AT OUR HOUSE.
Selena: I WAS A LITTLE EMBARRASSED
TO BRING THIS UP BECAUSE I KNOW NOT EVERYBODY
BELIEVES IN CERTAIN THINGS LIKE THIS.
LOOK, THERE'S SOMEBODY RIGHT THERE.
COME ON.
HEY, THERE.
OH, HI.
HI.
I'M SELENA.
AND THIS IS MY SISTER, ADRIENNE.
I'M LOUISE. NICE TO MEET YOU.
I JUST MOVED INTO THAT HOUSE RIGHT THERE ON THE CORNER.
I'M GLAD TO SEE SOMEONE FINALLY MOVE IN.
UM...
WE WERE JUST WONDERING IF ANYTHING STRANGE
HAD HAPPENED IN THE HOUSE OR ANYTHING ODD.
NOBODY EVER TOLD YOU?
TOLD ME WHAT?
THE MAN WHO LIVED THERE BEFORE YOU DIED IN THE HOUSE.
HE DIED OF A DRUG OVERDOSE.
WHAT HAPPENED TO THE FAMILY AFTER HE DIED?
THEY MOVED... RIGHT OVER THERE.
THAT RED BRICK RIGHT THERE, THAT HOUSE.
HI.
I JUST MOVED INTO YOUR OLD HOUSE ON THE CORNER.
Adrienne: UM, SOME WEIRD HAVE BEEN GOING ON,
AND WE WERE WONDERING IF THOSE WEIRD THINGS HAPPENED
WHEN YOU LIVED THERE?
MY FATHER DIED IN THAT HOUSE.
I'M SO SORRY.
SO AM I.
I WAS VERY, VERY RELUCTANT TO SHOW HER THE PICTURES AT FIRST.
I DIDN'T KNOW HOW SHE WAS GONNA REACT TO THEM.
DOES IT MEAN ANYTHING TO YOU?
WHERE DID THIS COME FROM?
I TOOK THEM IN, IN MY KITCHEN WITH ADRIENNE.
THAT'S MY DAD IN THE PHOTO.
THE LAST TIME I SAW HIM WAS IN THAT HOUSE.
HEY, DAD!
YOU SAID YOU QUIT.
WE ARGUED AND...
Man: HONEY, I TRIED. HONESTLY I DID.
DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING TO US?
DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING TO US?!
NO, IT'S JUST THAT...
I HATE YOU!
HE DIED OF AN OVERDOSE THAT NIGHT.
I'M SO SORRY.
DO YOU THINK THAT MAYBE HIS GHOST
IS CAUSING PROBLEMS IN THE HOUSE NOW?
NO. HE MADE MISTAKES, BUT...
Adrienne: THE DAUGHTER HAD SAID THAT HE WAS A GOOD MAN.
HE WOULDN'T HARM A SOUL.
[ DOOR OPENS ]
WHAT'S GOING ON?
HELLO.
THESE PEOPLE MOVED INTO OUR OLD HOUSE.
HI.
TAKE A LOOK.
IT'S HIS SPIRIT, MOM.
HE'S STILL THERE. THEY TOOK A PICTURE.
HOW DID YOU GET THIS?
I-I TOOK IT IN MY KITCHEN.
[ Crying ] THIS IS HOW WE USED TO TALK.
HE WOULD STAND THERE, AND WE WOULD TALK...
THE MOTHER TOLD ME WHEN SHE DID THE DISHES,
THEY WOULD HAVE CONVERSATIONS.
AND THAT'S WHAT HE WAS DOING.
HE WAS STANDING BEHIND ME,
POSSIBLY WANTING TO HOLD A CONVERSATION...
POSSIBLY WANTING TO GET SOME HELP.
I'M SO SORRY THAT WE BOTHERED YOU.
I'M JUST REALLY SORRY.
IT'S OKAY.
Selena: THANK YOU.
YEAH.
Selena: I FELT LIKE I HAD SOME QUESTIONS ANSWERED.
I MIGHT BE ABLE TO DEAL WITH THIS A LITTLE BIT BETTER.
I KNEW THAT THE MAN THAT PASSED THERE
WAS NO HARM TO ME OR MY SON.
Narrator: THE HOUSE REMAINS CALM FOR A FEW WEEKS.
[ FOOTSTEPS ]
JEEZ! GOD. HI.
HEY.
SORRY.
SO, HOW WAS EVERYTHING TONIGHT?
OH, IT WAS FINE.
YEAH? NOTHING UNUSUAL?
NO, NO. NOT AT ALL.
EVEN WITH THE ATTIC?
NO. IT WAS DEAD QUIET.
OKAY. GOOD.
BY THE WAY, GABE WANTED ME TO SHOW YOU THIS.
HE DREW THIS FOR YOU.
OH!
YEAH. OH, MY GOD.
YEAH.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH IT.
Gabe: MOMMY!
GABE...
OH, MY GOD.
HONEY, HONEY, WHAT'S THE MATTER?
GABE, ARE YOU OKAY?
OH, MY GOD, HE'S BURNING UP.
Selena: I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WAS GOING ON WITH HIM.
GABE, LOOK AT ME. LOOK AT ME.
HE LOOKED LIKE HE WAS POSSESSED, LIKE HE WAS IN A TRANCE.
WE GOT TO TAKE HIM TO THE HOSPITAL.
Adrienne: OKAY.
OH, BABY.
I'LL GET YOUR KEYS, OKAY?
THANK YOU. THANK YOU. JUST GO, GO, GO, GO, GO.
HEY.
DID YOU SEE MY STETHOSCOPE?
YOU HOLD THAT WHILE I GO TALK TO YOUR MOM.
THERE'S -- THERE'S NO SIGN OF THE HIGH FEVER.
WE'VE DONE NEUROLOGICAL TESTS, AND EVERYTHING'S FINE.
OKAY. THEN WHAT IS IT, THEN?
IT COULD BE PSYCHOLOGICAL.
THEY TOLD ME THAT POSSIBLY THE REASON
WHY HE WAS WAKING UP THIS WAY
WAS DUE TO -- MY HUSBAND AND I HAD SPLIT,
AND POSSIBLY IT WAS AFFECTING HIM BECAUSE OF THAT.
IT'S VERY TRAUMATIC FOR A CHILD.
HE MAY STILL BE GETTING OVER THE BREAKUP.
IT'S OKAY. HE'S GONNA BE FINE.
LET'S GO BACK.
Narrator: DESPITE THE DOCTOR'S REASSURANCE,
SELENA WONDERS IF THE SPIRIT IN HER HOME
WAS CAUSING GABE'S NIGHT TERRORS.
HEY. WHAT IS ALL THIS?
WELL, I'M NOT GONNA BE AFRAID IN MY OWN HOUSE ANYMORE,
AND I WANTED TO GET STUFF THAT MAKES ME FEEL SAFE.
SHE HOPES THAT SURROUNDING HERSELF WITH RELIGIOUS SYMBOLS
WILL PREVENT THE SPIRIT FROM BECOMING AGGRESSIVE.
HOW WAS GABE TODAY?
OH, HE WAS FINE. HE WAS FINE.
HE WAS A LITTLE TIRED,
BUT I STAYED WITH HIM WHILE HE NAPPED, SO HE WAS FINE.
YOU ARE SO GOOD TO US.
IT'S ALL RIGHT.
NO, I MEAN IT. THANK YOU.
NO PROBLEM.
[ GLASS SHATTERS ]
[ CREAKING ]
[ GASPS ]
GABE, HONEY, WAKE UP. WAKE UP.
WE GOT TO GO, SWEETIE.
WE'LL GO FOR A WALK, OKAY?
YOU'LL BE JUST FINE. OKAY.
Narrator: AFTER SEVERAL PARANORMAL EVENTS,
SELENA DECIDES GABE WILL BE SAFER
STAYING WITH HER GRANDMOTHER.
MEANWHILE, ADRIENNE IS DETERMINED
TO HELP HER SISTER CLEAR THE GHOST FROM THE HOUSE.
Adrienne: I GOT FRUSTRATED. I GOT TIRED OF IT.
I WANTED THEM GONE,
AND I WENT THROUGH EVERY ROOM
REBUKING IN THE NAME OF THE LORD.
"AND THESE SIGNS SHALL FOLLOW THEM THAT BELIEVE.
IN MY NAME, THEY SHALL CAST OUT SPIRITS."
[ CREAKING ] OH, GOD.
"AND THESE SIGNS SHALL FOLLOW THEM THAT BELIEVE.
IN MY NAME, THEY SHALL CAST OUT SPIRITS."
[ BREATHING HEAVILY ]
IN THE NAME OF THE LORD, I REBUKE YOU!
I COMMAND YOU TO LEAVE!
I JUST FELT IF I WENT ANY FURTHER,
SOMETHING BAD WAS GONNA HAPPEN TO ME,
AND I WALKED AWAY.
[ BREATHING HEAVILY ]
I WAS SO SCARED.
AM I DOING SOMETHING RIGHT, OR IS THIS GONNA GET WORSE?
I'M JUST WANTING A HOUSE BLESSING.
NO, WE'RE NOT MEMBERS.
Narrator: SELENA CALLS SEVERAL LOCAL CHURCHES,
HOPING TO FIND SOMEONE TO BLESS HER HOUSE.
YOU CAN'T DO ANYTHING SOONER THAN THAT?
BUT NO ONE IS IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE.
OKAY. ALL RIGHT, FATHER. THANK YOU.
I MAY CALL YOU BACK.
FOUND IT.
ADRIENNE HAS ANOTHER IDEA.
REMEMBER THAT PROGRAM I LISTENED TO
ABOUT THOSE GHOST HUNTERS? I FOUND THEIR NUMBER.
SHE HEARD A RADIO SHOW
THAT FEATURED LOCAL PARANORMAL RESEARCHERS.
JUST CALL THEM.
ALL RIGHT. ALL RIGHT.
Selena: I CONTACTED THIS ORGANIZATION,
REQUESTING THAT THEY COME AND DO AN INVESTIGATION.
I'VE TRIED EVERY OTHER AVENUE, DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO.
[ TELEPHONE RINGING ]
HELLO.
Narrator: BRENDA MIKULKA IS THE CO-DIRECTOR
OF THE SOUTHEAST MICHIGAN GHOST HUNTERS SOCIETY.
WELL, THINGS LIKE...
Brenda: WHEN I FIRST SPOKE TO HER,
I BECAME REALLY CONCERNED
BECAUSE SHE SOUNDED VERY FRIGHTENED.
WOULD IT BE OKAY IF WE CAME OUT
ONE NIGHT NEXT WEEK TO INVESTIGATE?
I WANTED TO DO THE INVESTIGATION RIGHT AWAY.
SHE WAS PRETTY FRIGHTENED.
Narrator: BRAD MIKULKA IS THE TEAM'S DIRECTOR.
BRENDA IS GOING TO INTERVIEW YOU
WHILE I SET UP THE TECHNICAL EQUIPMENT AROUND THE HOUSE.
Brad: WE MET THE TENANT
AND WE SPOKE TO HER FOR A VERY FEW MINUTES
ABOUT WHAT OUR INVESTIGATION WAS GOING TO ENTAIL.
IF EVEN HALF OF WHAT SHE SAID WAS TRUE
THAT WAS ACTUALLY HAPPENING,
IT WAS GOING TO BE A GOOD INVESTIGATION.
IS THERE ANY ROOM YOU DON'T WANT US TO GO INTO?
NO. NO. THE HOUSE IS YOURS.
GO ANYWHERE YOU NEED TO.
Adrienne: I FELT A SENSE OF RELIEF.
OH, GOSH, THIS IS GOING TO GO AWAY,
AND WE'RE GOING TO GET HELP.
Narrator: THE TEAM'S PSYCHIC, MARY MEYKA,
IS DRAWN TO THE ATTIC.
Mary: I COULD FEEL AN ENTITY WATCHING ME.
OH, JESUS.
THAT ENERGY DID NOT WANT US THERE AT ALL.
IT WAS VERY NEGATIVE.
YOU COULD FEEL THE ENTITY SUCKING ENERGY FROM YOU.
EVERYBODY LIVING THERE WAS INVADING ON HIS SPACE,
HIS PRIVACY, AND HE JUST WANTED PEOPLE OUT.
Narrator: BRAD SETS UP A MOTION DETECTOR.
[ BEEPING ] IT WILL TRIGGER AN ALARM
WHEN ANYTHING MOVES IN FRONT OF THE CAMERA.
Brenda: HOW MANY PEOPLE LIVE HERE?
Selena: THERE IS JUST TWO OF US -- MY SON GABE AND I.
BUT ADRIENNE BABYSITS DURING THE DAY, SO SHE'S HERE A LOT.
ADRIENNE, YOU DON'T LIVE HERE,
BUT YOU'VE WITNESSED THESE EVENTS, TOO?
YES, I HAVE.
BOTH OF US HAVE FELT LIKE WE ARE BEING WATCHED.
Selena: THEY MADE ME FEEL REALLY CALM
AND LET ME KNOW THAT IT WOULD BE OKAY
AND THEY SAID THEY KNOW IT SEEMS LIKE IT'S A BIT OVERWHELMING,
BUT THEY WERE HOPEFULLY GOING TO BE ABLE TO TELL ME
WHAT WAS GOING ON THERE.
[ GROAN ]
Narrator: THE SPIRIT MARY SENSES
IS FAR LESS HOSTILE THAN THE ONE SHE ENCOUNTERED IN THE ATTIC.
IT'S ALL RIGHT.
IT'S OKAY.
Mary: I SENSED A LOT OF SADNESS.
YOU CAN TRUST ME.
I DIDN'T SENSE ANY HOSTILITY WHATSOEVER.
HE WANTED TO MAKE GOOD WITH HIS FAMILY BEFORE HE CROSSED OVER.
THAT'S WHERE THE VERY SAD ENERGY WAS COMING FROM.
IT'S OKAY.
YOU CAN TRUST ME.
ANYTHING ELSE UNUSUAL HAPPEN?
A PICTURE FELL OFF THE WALL IN MY ROOM.
THAT WAS REALLY SCARY.
[ ALARM BUZZING ]
WHAT WAS THAT?
MOTION DETECTORS.
[ BUZZING CONTINUES ]
DID WE GET SOMETHING?
I DON'T KNOW. I'M REWINDING IT RIGHT NOW.
THERE. DID YOU SEE THAT?
THERE.
WHAT?
DID YOU SEE THAT?
WHAT IS IT?
IT'S AN ORB --
TRACES OF A SPIRIT.
THERE IT IS AGAIN.
WELL, WHAT'S IT DOING?
I'M THINKING, "OH, MY GOSH, WHAT DID WE GET OURSELVES INTO?"
WELL, WHAT'S IT DOING?
ARE YOU OKAY?
RIGHT HERE. LET'S GO.
WE HAVE TO GO BACK, REVIEW ALL THE TAPES,
FIND OUT EXACTLY WHAT YOU DO HAVE.
Narrator: AFTER SPENDING SEVERAL HOURS IN THE HOUSE,
THE RESEARCHERS ARE CONFIDENT
THAT THERE ARE AT LEAST TWO ENTITIES PRESENT.
SO WHAT HAPPENS NOW?
Selena: HOW DO WE GET RID OF THESE?
I WANT THEM GONE. I TOLD THEM I COULDN'T MOVE OUT.
I COULD CARE LESS IF THE NICE ONE STAYED,
BUT THE ONE UPSTAIRS HAS GOT TO GO.
ONCE WE KNOW MORE...
Narrator: THE RESEARCHERS ARE RELUCTANT TO TELL SELENA
THAT THEY MAY NOT HAVE A SOLUTION.
YOU HAVE TO BE CAREFUL BECAUSE YOU CAN'T TELL SOMEONE
WHO MIGHT NOT HAVE THE MEANS TO MOVE,
"YOU NEED TO GET OUT NOW
OR SOMETHING BAD IS GOING TO HAPPEN."
SO YOU HAVE TO KIND OF TREAD LIGHTLY
AND JUST ADVISE THEM THE BEST THAT YOU POSSIBLY CAN.
OKAY, THANK YOU.
Selena: SO I WAS TRYING TO FORCE MYSELF
TO BE A LITTLE BIT MORE COMFORTABLE WITH IT,
BUT ON THE INSIDE, I WAS TERRIFIED.
Selena: YEAH, SWEETIE, I'LL BE HOME FOR DINNER TONIGHT.
OKAY? ALL RIGHT. I'LL SEE YOU LATER.
CAN YOU PUT NANA ON THE PHONE?
Narrator: SELENA KEEPS GABE AT HER GRANDMOTHER'S HOUSE
WHILE SHE WAITS FOR NEWS FROM THE INVESTIGATORS.
YEAH. THANKS AGAIN.
OKAY, YEAH, I'LL TALK TO YOU LATER. BYE.
WHAT'S WRONG?
WHAT IF THEY CAN HEAR US?
AT LEAST THEY KNOW WE ARE TRYING TO GET RID OF THEM.
THAT'S WHAT I'M WORRIED ABOUT.
[ KNOCKING ]
ARE ANYBODY?CTING NO.
I'M NOT EITHER.
Narrator: ADRIENNE RECOGNIZES THE DAUGHTER
OF THE MAN WHO DIED IN THE HOUSE.
YOU REMEMBER MY SISTER ADRIENNE.
I'M HERE SO I CAN MAKE PEACE WITH MY FATHER.
Selena: SHE SAYS,
"I THINK THIS IS GOING TO BE THE ONLY THING
THAT IS GOING TO HELP MY DAD MOVE ON."
THIS IS A FRIEND OF MINE,
AND I THINK SHE CAN HELP MY FATHER MOVE ON.
I'M A SPIRITUALIST,
AND I'D LIKE TO TRY AND COMMUNICATE
WITH THE SPIRIT IN THE HOUSE.
IF YOU GUYS DON'T MIND,
I'D REALLY LIKE TO WALK AROUND THE HOUSE.
NOT AT ALL. PLEASE.
THANK YOU. THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT WE NEED.
Narrator: THE WOMAN WILL USE PURIFIED SALTWATER AND PRAYER
TO BLESS THE HOUSE.
DEAR LORD, PLEASE PROTECT ME FROM HARM AND WICKEDNESS.
Narrator: SELENA AND ADRIENNE HOPE THAT HER BLESSINGS
MIGHT ALSO EXPEL THE ANGRY SPIRIT IN THE ATTIC.
YOU HAVE PASSED ON.
YOU DON'T BELONG HERE ANYMORE.
YOUR FAMILY LOVES YOU AND FORGIVES YOU.
YOU CAN BE AT PEACE.
Narrator: THE DAUGHTER RETURNS TO THE BASEMENT
TO MAKE PEACE WITH HER FATHER'S SPIRIT.
DAD, IT'S ME.
DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING TO US?
I NEVER WANT TO SEE YOU AGAIN.
I JUST WANT TO LET YOU KNOW
THAT YOU DON'T HAVE TO STAY HERE ANYMORE.
WE WANT YOU TO BE AT PEACE.
I LOVE YOU VERY, VERY MUCH.
AND I'M NOT ANGRY AT YOU.
I FORGIVE YOU.
AND I HOPE THAT YOU CAN FORGIVE ME.
HOW DID IT GO?
I THINK HE'S CROSSED OVER.
OH, THAT'S GREAT.
YEAH. GOOD.
IT FEELS KIND OF DIFFERENT IN HERE, DOESN'T IT?
IT SEEMED LIKE THERE WAS LIGHT IN THE HOUSE.
IF ANYTHING CHANGES --
IF YOU FEEL ANYTHING DIFFERENT,
ANYTHING UNUSUAL HAPPENS,
PLEASE FEEL FREE TO GIVE ME A CALL.
ANYTHING UNUSUAL.
OKAY. OKAY.
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
Selena: IT WAS LIKE AN INSTANT CALMNESS.
A TON OF TENSION WAS JUST LIFTED OFF OF US.
Narrator: THE HOUSE REMAINS PEACEFUL FOR SEVERAL DAYS.
SELENA DECIDES IT'S SAFE TO BRING HER SON BACK HOME.
YOU WANT SOME COOKIES? YEAH.
YEAH? HOW MANY DOES MOMMY LET YOU HAVE?
TWO.
I WILL LET YOU HAVE THREE. [ CHUCKLES ]
ALL RIGHT, I'M GOING TO GO GET SOME COOKIES, OKAY?
ALL RIGHT.
HERE, JUST... DOES THAT LOOK GOOD?
YEAH.
OKAY. I'LL BE RIGHT BACK.
OKAY. OKAY.
GABE? [ SCREAMS ]
GABE!
NO! NO! GABE!
NO. GABE. GABE.
OH, LOOK AT ME. LOOK AT ME!
COME ON. THERE'S NOTHING THERE.
COME ON. LOOK AT ME, SWEETIE.
COME ON, BEAUTIFUL KID. COME ON.
COME ON. COME ON. GABE.
HELP ME, COME HERE.
WHAT HAPPENED? I DON'T KNOW.
I JUST TURNED AROUND,
AND THE MINUTE I TURNED AROUND --
I'LL TAKE HIM. COME HERE, SWEETIE.
HE WAS ON THE GROUND.
IT WAS JUST LIKE BEFORE.
CAN YOU GET HIS COAT?
Selena: YOU COULD SEE, JUST THE LOOK IN HIS EYES,
THAT SOMETHING WAS WRONG.
HERE SHE IS. OKAY. OKAY.
"I'M OUT OF HERE."
I KNEW THAT THE MAN WHO HAD PASSED HADN'T DONE IT.
HE WENT ON TO WHERE HE NEEDED TO BE.
BUT THAT THING IN THE ATTIC STAYED BEHIND.
Narrator: THAT NIGHT, SELENA, ADRIENNE, AND GABE
FINALLY LEAVE THE HOUSE FOR GOOD.
KNOWING THAT I DIDN'T HAVE TO GO BACK TO THE HOUSE
WAS A RELIEF.
IS HE GOOD?
YEAH, HE'S ALL RIGHT. GO AHEAD.
OKAY. ARE YOU SURE?
Selena: WHEN I LEFT THAT HOUSE,
IT WAS LIKE AN INSTANT SENSE OF PEACE.
I JUST HOPE THAT WHATEVER THAT WAS, IT'S MOVED ON
AND IT NO LONGER HURTS OR BOTHERS ANYBODY ELSE.
