>> 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 PARANORMAL INVESTIGATOR
MARY VOGEL DISCOVERS A SATANIC
SANCTUARY, SHE UNLEASHES THE
FURY OF A VENGEFUL SPIRIT.
SOON, SHE'S LOCKED IN A STRUGGLE
AGAINST AN ENTITY SEEKING TO
CONQUER HER MIND AND BODY.
WHEN THE BATTLE TURNS PHYSICAL,
THE PRICE OF VICTORY MAY BE HER
LIFE.
BETWEEN THE WORLD WE SEE AND THE
THINGS WE FEAR, THERE ARE DOORS.
WHEN THEY ARE OPENED, NIGHTMARES
BECOME REALITY.

ON EVERY CONTINENT IN EVERY
COUNTRY, THE SUPERNATURAL WEAVES
ITSELF INTO THE FABRIC OF OUR
VERY REALITY.
IN THE COMPLEXITY OF MODERN
EXISTENCE, INVISIBLE FORCES
OFTEN GO UNNOTICED BY ALL EXCEPT
PARANORMAL INVESTIGATORS.
SOMETIMES, HOWEVER, ENTITIES
THREATEN INNOCENT PEOPLE.
WHEN THEY DO, PARANORMAL
INVESTIGATORS RELY ON YEARS OF
STUDY, AN INNATE COURAGE, AND IN
MANY CASES, THEIR PIETY TO
DEFEND THE DEFENSELESS AGAINST
ENTITIES HELL-BENT ON
DESTRUCTION.
IN THE FALL OF 2000, PARANORMAL
INVESTIGATOR MARY VOGEL LEADS
HER TEAM INTO THE VIRGINIA
COUNTRYSIDE.
>> WHAT ARE WE DOING HERE?
>> WE ARE INVESTIGATING A BARN I
GOT A CALL ABOUT.
>> Narrator: A WEEK BEFORE, A
GENERAL CONTRACTOR HAD BEEN
RENOVATING THE BUILDING.
>> HE WAS UNABLE TO COMPLETE HIS
JOB BECAUSE OF THE SUPERNATURAL
ACTIVITY THAT WAS GOING ON
THERE.
>> Narrator: TO PROTECT HER
IDENTITY, MARY APPEARS UNDER THE
CONDITION OF ANONYMITY.
>> AT ONE POINT IN TIME, THE
CIRCULAR SAW HAD GONE ON, AND IT
WASN'T EVEN PLUGGED IN.
>> WHEW!
>> Narrator: JANE REEVES IS NEW
TO PARANORMAL RESEARCH.
>> [ COUGHS ]
>> Narrator: SHE AND MARY HAVE
ALREADY FORGED A CLOSE
FRIENDSHIP.
>> FROM THE FIRST TIME WE MET,
IT WAS ALMOST LIKE WE HAD KNOWN
EACH OTHER FOREVER.
>> I'M GOING TO GO TAKE
SOME TEMPERATURE GAUGES.
I'M GOING TO CHECK OUT THE LOFT.
YOU GUYS STAY DOWN HERE, OKAY?
>> WELL, I DECIDED IT WAS JUST
BEST FOR ME TO GO UP BY MYSELF.
I DIDN'T WANT ANYBODY TO FALL
THROUGH ANY HOLES OR WHATNOT.
>> Narrator: USING A
MICROCASSETTE RECORDER, MARY
HOPES TO CAPTURE AN EVP, OR
ELECTRONIC VOICE PHENOMENA, OF
ANY PRESENCE IN THE LOFT.
>> CANDLE WAX, A PENTAGRAM --
THAT BASICALLY TOLD ME THAT
THERE WAS SATANIC RITUALS THERE.
>> [ GASPS ]
[ PANTING ]
[ GRUNTING ]
[ GAGGING ]
>> AND VERY SUDDENLY, I HAD A
STABBING PAIN IN MY STOMACH AS
IF I WAS VIOLENTLY ILL.
>> GET OUT!
>> MARY, WHAT'S HAPPENING?
>> GET OUT!
>> THERE WAS SOMETHING THAT
DEFINITELY DIDN'T WANT US THERE.
>> LET'S GO.
>> THAT FRIGHTENED ME, AND I
BECAME FRIGHTENED FOR MY TEAM
AND THEIR SAFETY.
>> Narrator: LATER THAT NIGHT --
>> [ GASPS ]
[ PANTING ]
IT'S A SATANIC FORCE.
GET OUT!
>> COME ON, MOM, YOU KNOW IT
FREAKS ME OUT.
>> Narrator: MARY'S 13-YEAR-OLD
SON, JOSH, HAS NEVER BEEN
COMFORTABLE WITH HIS MOM
INVESTIGATING THE SUPERNATURAL.
>> WELL, YOU KNOW WHAT?
THEN I WILL DO IT WHEN YOU ARE
NOT HERE.
HOW IS THAT?
>> OKAY.
>> GOOD.
[ KNOCK AT THE DOOR ]
OH, SEE WHO'S HERE.
>> HEY!
>> Narrator: MARY AND MIKE HAVE
BEEN DATING FOR SEVERAL YEARS,
AND THEY'RE ENGAGED TO BE
MARRIED.
>> I MISSED YOU LAST WEEKEND.
>> I MISSED YOU, TOO.
I EVEN BROUGHT YOU SOMETHING
BACK FROM THE COUNTRY.
>> OH, REALLY?
>> HEY, YOU DIDN'T BRING ME BACK
ANYTHING.
>> WELL, WHAT ABOUT A KISS?
>> NO WAY.
>> Narrator: LIKE JOSH, MIKE IS
WARY OF THE SUPERNATURAL.
>> HE HAD SOME SKEPTICISM WHEN
IT CAME TO PARANORMAL RESEARCH
IN GENERAL.
AT THE SAME TIME, HE WAS MY
BIGGEST SUPPORT SYSTEM.
>> Narrator: A FEW DAYS LATER,
MARY CONTINUES LISTENING TO THE
BARN RECORDING WITH HER FRIEND
JANE.
>> I HAVEN'T HEARD ANYTHING.
SEE IF YOU CAN HEAR ANYTHING.
>> OKAY.
>> [ GASPS ]
[ PANTING ]
[ GRUNTING ]
NOTHING?
>> WHAT IS WRONG?
>> I DON'T KNOW.
I FEEL LIKE SOMEBODY'S GOT
AHOLD OF ME AND IT'S NOT
LETTING GO.
>> LET ME HELP YOU.
>> YOUR GOD CAN'T HELP YOU NOW.
>> WHO WAS THAT?
WHO WAS THAT?
>> YOUR GOD CAN'T HELP YOU NOW.
YOUR GOD CAN'T HELP YOU NOW.
>> THAT WAS THE FIRST TIME
ANYTHING LIKE THAT HAD EVER
HAPPENED TO ME.
IT JUST SCARED ME TO DEATH.
[ TELEPHONE RINGING ]
>> Narrator: MARY CALLS HER
LONGTIME MENTOR.
>> JOHN ZAFFIS SPEAKING.
>> Narrator: BASED IN
CONNECTICUT, ZAFFIS HAS
INVESTIGATED THE SUPERNATURAL
FOR MORE THAN THREE DECADES.
>> IN THE PARANORMAL FIELD, IT'S
VERY IMPORTANT TO ESTABLISH
CONNECTIONS WITH PEOPLE.
MARY AND I HAVE ESTABLISHED A
VERY GOOD WORKING RELATIONSHIP
PLUS A FRIENDSHIP.
>> LISTEN, WE JUST HEARD A
REALLY -- A REALLY DISTURBING
EVP, AND WE WANTED YOUR OPINION.
>> YEAH, OF COURSE.
I'M HAPPY TO HELP.
>> THE VOICE ON THE EVP JUST
SAID, "YOUR GOD CAN'T HELP YOU
NOW."
>> LISTEN, SATANIC WORSHIPERS,
THEY OFTEN EVOKE NEGATIVE
SPIRITS.
IT'S A MEANS TO PROTECT THEIR
SITE.
>> SATAN WORSHIPING -- THAT'S
VERY, VERY HARDCORE.
WHEN YOU'RE A SENSITIVE
INDIVIDUAL LIKE MARY, THAT CAN
PROVE TO BE EXTREMELY, EXTREMELY
DANGEROUS.
>> YEAH, WHAT, WHAT DO WE DO?
>> ALL RIGHT, LISTEN.
GO TO MASS.
GO TO CONFESSION.
>> I HAD RECOMMENDED THAT SHE
PROTECT HERSELF JUST IN CASE
SOMETHING MIGHT HAVE GRAVITATED
TOWARDS HER.
>> JOHN ADVISED US TO DROP THAT
CASE.
IT WASN'T WORTH ANY DANGER TO
MYSELF OR MY INVESTIGATORS.
>> Narrator: THAT NIGHT, MARY
TAKES PRECAUTIONS TO PROTECT HER
HOUSE AND LOVED ONES.
>> IN EVERY ROOM, I MADE SURE
THAT THERE WAS A CRUCIFIX.
>> Narrator: SHE ALSO WEARS
BLESSED SAINT MEDALLIONS.
LIKE MANY CATHOLICS, MARY
BELIEVES THESE MEDALLIONS OFFER
DIVINE PROTECTION.
>> I JUST WANTED TO FEEL
SURROUNDED BY A HOLY TYPE OF
PROTECTION, REPULSIVE TO
ANYTHING EVIL.
[ TELEPHONE RINGS ]
>> HELLO.
>> HEY, SIS. YEAH, LISTEN.
>> Narrator: MARY'S SISTER,
ALLISON, ATTENDS GRAD SCHOOL IN
CALIFORNIA, WHERE SHE'S STUDYING
TO BECOME A PSYCHOTHERAPIST.
DESPITE LIVING 3,000 MILES
APART, THEY TALK REGULARLY.
>> DO YOU REMEMBER THAT BARN
CASE I WAS TELLING YOU ABOUT?
>> HUH, YEAH SURE, I REMEMBER
YOU MENTIONING IT.
>> SHE WAS WORRIED ABOUT SOME OF
THE CASES THAT SHE HAD
INVESTIGATED.
THAT WAS UNUSUAL FOR HER.
>> Narrator: BUT THEN A FAMILY
CRISIS ARISES.
>> MY MOM HAD A KNEE REPLACEMENT
SURGERY THAT WENT AWRY.
>> MOM.
MOM, DID YOU HAVE A GOOD REST?
>> YES.
>> SHE GOT SYSTEMIC STAPH
INFECTION FROM THE SURGERY.
AND AT ONE POINT, THE DOCTORS
DIDN'T KNOW IF SHE WAS GOING TO
SURVIVE OR NOT.
>> HE WAS HERE EARLIER.
YOU JUST GET SOME SLEEP, AND I
WILL STAY.
>> IT WAS ONE OF THE MOST
STRESSFUL TIMES I HAD EVER BEEN
THROUGH IN MY LIFE.
I WASN'T ON MY GUARD.
>> Narrator: A FEW NIGHTS LATER,
MARY ANSWERS E-MAILS FROM PEOPLE
REQUESTING PARANORMAL
INVESTIGATIONS.
SHE TELLS THEM THAT THERE IS A
MEDICAL EMERGENCY IN HER FAMILY
AND SHE'LL CONTACT THEM LATER.
[ CLATTER ]
[ RUSTLING ]
>> TABBY?
KITTY?
TABBY?
KITTY, KITTY, KITTY, KITTY,
KITTY.
WHERE ARE YOU?
>> Narrator: CONSUMED WITH
STRESS, MARY HAS DIFFICULTLY
MAINTAINING HER SPIRITUAL
DEFENSES.
[ SQUEALING ]
>> [ PANTING ]
[ SQUEALING CONTINUES ]
>> IT WAS GRUNTING, GRUNTING
LIKE A PIG.
>> OH, GOD, JOSH.
>> I WAS CONCERNED ABOUT MY
SON'S SAFETY.
I WANTED HIM TO BE PROTECTED,
BUT I DIDN'T WANT HIM TO BE
FRIGHTENED BECAUSE THAT WOULD
MAKE HIM VULNERABLE.
>> Narrator: MARY'S MOTHER
SLOWLY RECUPERATES FROM HER
SEVERE INFECTION.
>> SHE'S DOING MUCH BETTER.
>> GOOD.
THANK YOU.
>> YOU'RE NOT GETTING ENOUGH
SLEEP.
>> I AM GETTING ENOUGH SLEEP.
>> OH, HONEY, YOU LOOK TERRIBLE.
>> THANKS, MOM.
THANKS.
>> TIME TO CHANGE YOUR BANDAGE.
>> I'M FEELING SO MUCH BETTER.
>> ARE YOU ALL RIGHT, MA'AM?
>> I'M -- I'M -- I'M SORRY.
I'M FINE.
>> I HAD A LOT OF NIGHTMARES,
WHILE I WAS AWAKE DURING THE
DAY.
>> YEAH, I'M...
>> MAYBE I WAS GOING CRAZY.
MAYBE I HAD SCHIZOPHRENIA.
MAYBE IT WAS BROUGHT ON BY
STRESS.
AND IF THAT'S THE CASE, I CAN
GET HELP FOR THAT.
I CAN GET MEDICATION.
[ TELEPHONE RINGING ]
>> THIS IS ALISON.
>> Narrator: MARY DESPERATELY
HOPES HER SISTER'S KNOWLEDGE OF
MENTAL HEALTH WILL PROVIDE
CLARITY.
>> I'VE GOT TO ASK YOU SOMETHING
REALLY IMPORTANT, OKAY?
I'VE BEEN SEEING HORRIBLE
THINGS, AND I JUST -- I NEED TO
KNOW IF YOU THINK I MIGHT BE
GOING CRAZY.
>> NO.
>> SHE DIDN'T HAVE ANY OF THE
CLASSIC INDICATORS FOR
PSYCHOSIS.
THERE WAS NO MANIA,
NO EVIDENCE OF SCHIZOPHRENIA.
NONE OF THE TYPICAL SIGNS THAT
YOU'D FIND FOR DIAGNOSIS.
>> OKAY.
>> THERE IS A WORLD OF
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WHAT YOU'RE
DESCRIBING AND A REAL MENTAL
BREAKDOWN.
>> THAT MEANT THAT WHAT WAS
GOING ON IN MY HOME WAS REAL.
IT'S ALMOST AS IF YOU ARE BEING
DIAGNOSED WITH CANCER IN A
SPIRITUAL WAY.
>> LOOK, JUST GET THE HOUSE
BLESSED SOON, AND CALL ZAFFIS.
>> LORD GOD OF HEAVEN AND EARTH,
BLESS THIS HOUSE AND ALL WHO
INHABIT IT.
FILL THEM WITH THE LIGHT OF
CHRIST --
>> Narrator: MARY ASKS HER
PARISH PRIEST TO BLESS HER HOME.
>> THEIR LOVE FOR GOD --
>> Narrator: HER MOTHER, NOW
RECOVERED, AND JANE JOIN MARY
FOR SUPPORT.
>> WE ASK THROUGH CHRIST OUR
LORD, AMEN.
>> AMEN.
>> OH, FATHER, CAN YOU BLESS MY
MEDALLIONS AS WELL, PLEASE?
>> OF COURSE.
>> THANK YOU.
>> COULD YOU BLESS MINE, TOO?
>> YES, I WILL.
LORD GOD OF HEAVEN AND EARTH,
BLESS THESE EMBLEMS OF YOUR
SAINTS AND BLESS ALL WHO WEAR
THEM.
FILL THEM WITH THE LIGHT OF
CHRIST, AND GIVE THEM YOUR
PROTECTION.
WE ASK THROUGH CHRIST OUR LORD.
AMEN.
>> AMEN.
[ COUGHS ]
[ CLOCK TICKING ]
[ SCREECHING ]
>> OH!
>> SOMETHING I COULDN'T SEE
ATTACKED ME.
>> Narrator: EVERY EMOTION
INSIDE MARY SCREAMS FOR HER TO
FLEE.
BUT SHE KNOWS THE HOUSE ISN'T
HAUNTED, SHE IS.
>> THERE WAS NOWHERE TO GO.
THERE WAS NOTHING I CAN DO.
>> MOM'S DOING FINE.
SHE IS UP AND WALKING, AND I
EVEN GOT HER TO COME OVER FOR
THE BLESSING.
UH-HUH.
>> MOM, I'M GOING TO BED.
>> OKAY, SWEETHEART.
COME HERE. GIVE ME A KISS.
LOVE YOU.
>> LOVE YOU, TOO.
>> OH, AUNT ALLISON SAYS SHE
LOVES YOU, TOO.
YOU'RE COMING BACK IN WHAT,
TWO WEEKS, RIGHT?
>> AND FOUR DAYS UNTIL
GRADUATION.
>> GOOD NIGHT, MOM.
>> GOOD NIGHT.
YEAH, CAN I TALK TO YOU ABOUT
SOMETHING?
>> SURE.
>> ALLISON, I HAVE STARTED TO
FEEL LIKE SOMETHING IS --
>> Narrator: MARY TELLS HER
SISTER ABOUT HER TERRIFYING
ATTACK.
>> ALLISON, I'M JUST STARTING TO
FREAK OUT.
>> WOULD YOU JUST CALL
JOHN ZAFFIS?
>> CALLING JOHN WOULD HAVE
PROBABLY BEEN THE SMARTEST THING
THAT MY SISTER COULD HAVE DONE
BECAUSE HE WOULD HAVE ACTUALLY
SET SOME THINGS INTO MOTION TO
TRY AND HELP HER.
>> I DON'T REALLY FEEL
COMFORTABLE CALLING JOHN.
I'M AFRAID OF WHAT HE MIGHT WANT
TO DO.
>> IT IS NOT GOING TO GET ANY
BETTER UNTIL YOU GET SOME HELP.
MARY?
>> [ Demonic voice ] HOW REAL IS
YOUR FAITH?
YOUR FAITH IS NOTHING!
>> AND I HUNG UP THE PHONE ON
HER BECAUSE I THOUGHT, "THIS IS
RIDICULOUS.
THAT'S NOT MY SISTER."
>> SOMETHING WAS STARTING TO
TAKE CONTROL OF ME.
I FELT COMPLETELY HELPLESS.
>> Narrator: MARY AGAIN TURNS TO
HER FAITH, DESPITE THE PREVIOUS
REPERCUSSIONS.
>> HE LEADETH ME IN THE PATHS OF
RIGHTEOUSNESS -- OH!
AH!
>> THE NECKLACE WAS ITCHING AND
BURNING.
IT FELT LIKE I COULDN'T BREATHE.
>> OW!
[ GRUNTS ]
[ PANTING ]
[ SCREECHING ]
[ PUNCHES THROWN ]
>> EVERY TIME I HAD ANYTHING
DONE TO TRY TO MAKE THE
SITUATION BETTER, I WOULD BE
ATTACKED.
I WOULD BE BEATEN.
>> [ GROANING ]
>> I FELT LIKE GOD HAD FORSAKEN
ME...AND WHEN I NEEDED HIM, GOD
WASN'T THERE.
I STARTED TO LOSE MY FAITH.
[ TELEPHONE RINGING ]
>> JOHN ZAFFIS.
>> JOHN.
>> MARY?
MARY, IS THAT YOU?
>> JOHN, I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S
HAPPENING.
I THINK I MIGHT HAVE AN
ATTACHMENT.
[ GROWLING ]
>> ONCE THAT GROWL SOUND
STARTED, THAT TELLS ME WE WERE
DEALING WITH A DEMON.
>> [ Demonic voice ] WE DON'T
NEED ANY HELP.
>> I KNEW RIGHT THEN AND THERE
THAT THIS WAS GOING TO REALLY
DEVELOP INTO A VERY, VERY
SERIOUS SITUATION.
AND I DIDN'T WANT TO LOSE MARY.
>> MARY?
>> I NEED TO TALK TO SOMEBODY.
>> OKAY, COME ON IN.
>> NO, I NEED TO STAY OUT HERE.
>> SURE.
WHAT'S WRONG?
>> I WAS ATTACKED LAST NIGHT.
>> DID YOU CALL THE POLICE?
>> UNH-UNH.
I WASN'T ATTACKED BY A PERSON.
DO YOU REMEMBER THE DEMONIC
SOUND ON THE TAPE?
>> OH, MY GOD!
>> [ SOBS ]
[ Demonic voice ] GET AWAY
FROM ME!
I DON'T NEED ANY HELP.
I SAID I DON'T NEED ANY HELP!
GO!
>> MOMMY?
>> GO BACK IN.
I'LL BE THERE REAL SOON, OKAY?
>> I CAN'T STAY.
>> I WAS READY TO LISTEN, MARY.
>> JANE WAS VERY FEARFUL, AND I
COULD SENSE IT, LIKE A SHARK
COULD SENSE BLOOD IN WATER.
HER FEAR MADE HER VERY
VULNERABLE.
[ ENGINE SHUTS OFF ]
[ CAR DOOR OPENS, CLOSES ]
[ GASPS ]
>> WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?
I'VE BEEN SITTING HERE HALF
THE NIGHT, WORRIED SICK ABOUT
YOU.
I THOUGHT THAT YOU WERE IN A
CAR WRECK OR SOMETHING.
WHAT -- WHAT'S THAT?
>> I DON'T LOVE YOU, MIKE.
>> OH, COME ON.
YOU DON'T MEAN THAT.
LOOK, LOOK, YOU HAVE BEEN GOING
THROUGH A LOT.
LET'S GO INSIDE.
>> YOU KNOW VERY LITTLE, MIKE!
>> MARY!
>> GET OUT OF OUR LIFE!
>> GET OUT OF HERE BEFORE I CALL
THE POLICE AND TELL THEM YOU DID
THIS.
>> THINGS COME OUT OF YOUR MOUTH
THAT YOU DON'T WANT TO SAY.
IT'S AS IF YOU ARE A HOSTAGE IN
YOUR OWN BODY, AND SOMETHING
ELSE IS TAKING CONTROL.
THESE ENTITIES DROVE HIM AWAY.
THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT THESE
ENTITIES WANTED, ME ALONE WITH
NO HELP.
[ GROWLING ]
>> [ SNIFFLING ]
>> JOSH?
SWEETHEART.
SWEETHEART, WHAT'S WRONG?
>> WE HEARD SOME NOISES.
>> OH, HONEY.
>> LIKE TWO WOLVES GROWLING.
>> YOU KNOW WHATEVER IT IS WE
CAN PRAY ABOUT IT.
>> I DON'T BELIEVE IN PRAYER.
>> WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
>> I PRAYED TO GOD.
>> AND HE TOLD ME THAT FOR YEARS
HE PRAYED TO GOD TO MAKE ME STOP
DOING DEMONIC CASES BECAUSE HE
WAS AFRAID FOR ME.
AND GOD NEVER ANSWERED HIS
PRAYERS.
>> I DON'T BELIEVE IN GOD
EITHER.
>> WHAT?
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
DON'T SAY THAT.
>> AND THAT BROKE MY HEART.
IT JUST FELT LIKE A KNIFE GOING
RIGHT THROUGH ME.
>> I BELIEVED IN GOD.
I JUST WAS VERY ANGRY AT HIM.
>> OUR FATHER, WHO ART IN --
OUR...
OUR FATHER WHO ART IN HEAVEN.
>> THAT MADE IT VERY EASY TO BE
TAKEN OVER.
>> Narrator: MARY ATTEMPTS TO
CARRY ON WITH EVERYDAY LIFE FOR
JOSH'S SAKE.
>> MOM, HURRY UP OR WE'LL BE
LATE!
>> Narrator: HE'S EXCITED TO
VISIT ALLISON, WHO IS IN TOWN
FOR THE 4th OF JULY.
>> THERE WAS THIS STRANGE
CHURNING INSIDE OF ME...
LIKE A THOUSAND SCREAMS WAITING
TO GET OUT.
[ ENGINE STARTS ]
[ TIRES SQUEAL ]
[ HORNS HONKING ]
>> LOOK AT THE ROAD, MOM!
LOOK AT THE ROAD!
[ HORNS HONKING ]
MOM? MOM?!
>> MOM'S LOST IT!
SHE'S CRAZY!
>> JOSH?
>> Narrator: THOUGH HER MOTHER
LIVES ONLY A FEW MILES AWAY,
MARY HAS NO RECOLLECTION OF THE
PERILOUS DRIVE.
>> AFTERWARDS, HE SAID THAT I
STARED AT HIM THE WHOLE ENTIRE
TIME.
HE DIDN'T KNOW HOW WE GOT THERE
WITHOUT HAVING AN ACCIDENT.
>> JOSH!
>> OH, GOD.
I NEED HELP.
>> DO YOU NEED ME TO CALL
SOMEONE?
>> NO, WHERE DOES MOM KEEP HER
HOLY WATER, ALLISON?
AH!
[ Demonic voice ] WE DON'T NEED
ANY HELP, AND DEFINITELY NOT
FROM YOU.
>> WHAT LOOKED AT ME WAS NOT MY
SISTER.
>> I KEPT MY DISTANCE FROM HER.
>> WHAT WAS THAT WITH MOM IN
THERE?
>> I WAS SCARED.
>> WHY DO YOU CARE ABOUT THAT
MOTHER OF YOURS?
>> GO BACK INSIDE.
I NEED TO TALK TO YOUR MOTHER
ALONE.
>> WHY DO YOU EVEN BELIEVE IN
GOD?
WHAT'S HE EVER DONE FOR YOU?
>> HE'S MY PROTECTOR.
>> I FELT TOTALLY UNEQUIPPED.
AND I PRAYED, LITERALLY, THE
ENTIRE TIME I WAS THERE.
[ ENGINE STARTS ]
[ TIRES SQUEAL ]
>> WHERE DID MOM GO?
>> DON'T WORRY.
JUST STAY HERE.
[ BEEPING ]
[ TELEPHONE RINGING ]
>> JOHN ZAFFIS.
>> JOHN, SOMETHING TERRIBLE IS
HAPPENING WITH MARY.
I THINK SHE MIGHT BE POSSESSED.
>> I KNEW WHAT WE WERE DEALING
WITH AT THAT POINT.
>> TELL ME EXACTLY WHAT'S
HAPPENING, TOO.
>> THERE WAS NO DOUBT IN MY MIND
WHATSOEVER.
>> ALL RIGHT, ALLISON, LISTEN,
LISTEN.
YOU GOT TO KEEP JOSH THERE WITH
YOU, ALL RIGHT?
>> CAN YOU IMAGINE WHAT WAS
GOING THROUGH THAT POOR LITTLE
GUY'S MIND?
IT HAD TO BE HORRIFYING.
>> DON'T LET HIM GO NEAR HIS
MOTHER.
>> I WANTED TO MAKE SURE HE WAS
OKAY.
>> ALL RIGHT, IN THE MEANTIME,
I'M GOING TO START CALLING SOME
PEOPLE.
I'M GOING TO START TRYING TO
ARRANGE GETTING MARY SOME HELP,
OKAY?
>> WHEN A PERSON IS IN THAT
POSSESSED STATE, YOU DON'T KNOW
HOW THEY'RE GOING TO REACT.
YOU DON'T KNOW IF THAT PERSON IS
GOING TO BECOME VIOLENT.
YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT THE
CAPABILITIES ARE.
[ TIRES SQUEALING ]
[ HORNS HONKING ]
[ TELEPHONE RINGING ]
>> HELLO?
>> MARY, IT'S JOHN.
>> Narrator: ZAFFIS PLEADS WITH
MARY TO UNDERGO AN EXORCISM.
>> I'M WORRIED ABOUT YOUR SON.
DON'T YOU WANT TO PROTECT HIM?
>> JOSH?
WELL, JOHN, OF COURSE, I LOVE
JOSH MORE THAN ANYTHING IN THE
WORLD.
>> THAT WAS THE ONE KEY THING
THAT CONVINCED MARY THAT SHE
WANTED TO HAVE THE EXORCISM
DONE.
>> [ Demonic voice ] GET OUT OF
OUR LIFE!
>> SOMETHING MIGHT ESCALATE OUT
OF CONTROL AT HER HOME, AND SHE
DID NOT WANT HER SON TO FALL
VICTIM TO THAT.
>> Narrator: ALLISON AND JANE
WILL DRIVE MARY TO CONNECTICUT
FOR THE EXORCISM.
MARY KNOWS THAT AT BEST THE
EXORCISM WILL BE EXTREMELY
PAINFUL.
AT WORST, IT COULD BE FATAL.
>> THE CLOSER IT GOT TO THE
EXORCISM, THE MORE THERE WERE
SECOND THOUGHTS.
THERE WAS MORE FEAR.
I MIGHT NOT MAKE IT THROUGH
THIS.
AND WHO IS GOING TO RAISE MY
SON?
>> Narrator: AFTER AN EIGHT-HOUR
DRIVE, THE WOMEN ARRIVE IN
STRATFORD, CONNECTICUT.
>> IT'S ALL RIGHT.
[ GROWLS ]
>> SHE HAD THAT LOOK OF PURE
HATE TOWARDS ME.
I KNEW RIGHT THEN AND THERE THAT
I WAS THE ENEMY.
>> Narrator: THE EXORCISM WILL
BE CONDUCTED BY
FATHER LARRY ELWARD.
HAVING WORKED WITH ZAFFIS FOR 25
YEARS, HE KNOWS THE PERSONAL
RISKS.
>> MARY, WHY DON'T YOU TAKE A
SEAT RIGHT HERE?
>> THESE SPIRITS CAN ATTACK US.
BUT I'M MORE THAN WILLING TO DO
IT BECAUSE THEY WON'T BE ABLE TO
FIND HELP ANYWHERE ELSE.
>> ALL RIGHT, I'M GOING TO HOLD
HER LEGS.
OKAY, ALLISON, I WANT YOU TO
HOLD HER LEFT ARM.
JANE, I NEED YOU TO HOLD HER
RIGHT ARM, ALL RIGHT?
>> EXORCISM IS NEVER A SURE
THING.
YOU NEVER KNOW IF IT'S GOING TO
BE A SUCCESSFUL TYPE OF
SITUATION.
>> * LORD HAVE MERCY
>> * CHRIST HAVE MERCY
>> * CHRIST HAVE MERCY ON US
>> * GOD, THE HOLY SPIRIT
>> HAVE MERCY ON US *
>> * GOD, THE FATHER IN HEAVEN
>> * HAVE MERCY ON US
* GOD THE SON REDEEMER OF THE
WORLD *

VERY VIOLENTLY DURING THE
OPENING PRAYERS.
>> * CHRIST HAVE MERCY
>> * HAVE MERCY
>> * GOD THE FATHER IN HEAVEN
>> [ GROWLING ]
[ Demonic voice ] YOUR GOD
DOESN'T HAVE THE POWER TO WIN.
[ GROWLING CONTINUES ]
>> GOD, THE HOLY SPIRIT,
COMMANDS YOU.
[ SHRIEKING ]
THE HOLY APOSTLES PETER AND
PAUL.
>> YOU'RE DEALING WITH SOMETHING
THAT YOU'VE READ ABOUT IN
SCRIPTURES, AND THERE IT IS,
FACE TO FACE.
>> [ Demonic voice ] JANE, WE
HAVE A PRESENT FOR YOU.
DON T YOU WANT YOUR PRESENT?
>> HOLY LORD, LISTEN TO OUR CALL
FOR HELP, AND SNATCH FROM
RUINATION AND FROM THE
CLUTCHES OF THE NOONDAY
DEVIL...
>> I COMPEL YOU, MOST UNCLEAN
SPIRIT.
EVERY SPECTER OF SATAN...
>> Narrator: THE EXORCISM
CONTINUES FOR MORE THAN AN HOUR.
>> HER PHYSICAL STRENGTH WAS
TERRIFYING.
>> [ Demonic voice ] YOUR GOD
WON'T WIN!
>> AND IT FELT LIKE SHE COULD
PHYSICALLY HAVE FLUNG ME ACROSS
THE ROOM.
>> JESUS CHRIST OF NAZARETH, WHO
WAS LED IN THE DESERT AFTER HIS
BAPTISM BY JOHN, WILL VANQUISH
YOU...
>> [ SQUEALING ]
>> MAKE WAY, YOU BEAST.
MAKE WAY FOR CHRIST, FOR HE HAS
ALREADY DEPRIVED YOU OF YOUR
KINGDOM.
SURRENDER YOU BEAST.
SURRENDER TO CHRIST, THIS HUMAN
BEING MADE IN YOUR IMAGE AND
LIKENESS.
INSTILL FEAR, LORD, INTO THE
MONSTER THAT PLUNDERS YOUR
VINEYARD.
>> Narrator: JANE FINDS
REASSURANCE IN HER BLESSED
MEDALLIONS.
>> IT'S JUST A REMINDER THAT GOD
IS WITH YOU.
IT MAKES ME FEEL STRONGER.
>> [ SHRIEKING ]
YOUR GOD IS NOTHING!
TAKE YOUR PRESENT, JANE.
DON'T YOU WANT OUR PRESENT?
DON'T BE RUDE, JANE.
TAKE YOUR PRESENT OR SATAN WILL
SHIFT YOUR SOUL!
>> I KNEW IT WAS SAYING, "COME
WITH US, JANE, TO HELL."
>> OUR FATHER WHO ART IN HEAVEN,
HALLOWED BY THY NAME.
THY KINGDOM COME, THY WILL BE
DONE ON EARTH AS IT IS IN
HEAVEN.
>> I CAST YOU OUT, UNCLEAN
SPIRIT, ALONG WITH EVERY SATANIC
POWER OF THE ENEMY.
I COMMAND YOU, UNCLEAN SPIRITS,
ALONG WITH YOUR ALLIES, NOW
BESIEGING THIS LAMB OF GOD, BY
THE COMING OF OUR LORD FOR
JUDGMENT.
>> Narrator: THE EXORCISM
CONTINUES FOR NEARLY TWO HOURS.
>> SUBMIT THEN TO GOD, WHO
THROUGH DAVID, HIS FAITHFUL
SERVANT, BANISHED YOU, THE
DECEIVER.
FOR HE NOW FLAILS YOU AND
SCOURGES YOU WITH FLAMES.
>> I COMMAND YOU, UNCLEAN
SPIRIT --
>> 33 YEARS OF BEING INVOLVED
WITH THIS WORK, MARY WAS THE
FIRST LEVITATION THAT I WAS EVER
WITNESS TO.
>> [ GROWLING ]
>> I COMMAND YOU BY THE COMING
OF THE LORD OF JUDGMENT, THAT
YOU TELL ME YOUR NAME.
I COMMAND YOU THAT YOU TELL ME
YOUR NAME!
>> BELIAL.
>> DEPART THEN, O IMPIOUS ONE.
DEPART, ACCURSED ONE, DEPART
WITH ALL YOUR TREACHERY.
IT IS HE WHO EXPELS YOU AND WHO
IS COMING TO JUDGE BOTH THE
QUICK, THE LIVING, AND THE DEAD
OF THE WORLD WITH FLAMES.
>> I FELT CLEAN AND HAPPY LIKE A
NEWBORN BABY.
IT FELT LIKE I COULD FINALLY
TAKE A DEEP BREATH AND THE AIR
WAS FRESHER.
IT FELT LIKE BEING ALIVE AGAIN.
>> AFTER YOU'VE BEEN TOUCHED BY
THE PARANORMAL, ESPECIALLY ON A
NEGATIVE LEVEL, THESE THINGS
DON'T FORGET WHO YOU ARE.
THEY'LL ALWAYS REMEMBER YOU,
AND THEY WILL TARGET YOU.
>> Narrator: MARY GIVES UP
PARANORMAL RESEARCH AND
RECONCILES WITH JOSH.
>> [ LAUGHS ]
>> RIGHT, OKAY, WHAT HAVE WE GOT
HERE NOW?
>> IT JUST BROUGHT US CLOSER.
I KNOW HE'S ALWAYS GOING TO BE
THERE FOR ME JUST AS I ALWAYS AM
THERE FOR HIM.
I KNOW NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS TO
ME, THAT EVERYTHING WILL BE
OKAY.
IF YOU CAN SURVIVE DEMONIC
POSSESSION, I THINK YOU CAN
SURVIVE JUST ABOUT ANYTHING.
