Narrator: A YOUNG COUPLE BUYS A HOUSE WITH A TRAGIC PAST...
...WHERE TENANTS STILL ROAM THE HALLS...
SOMETHING IN THAT HOUSE WAS TRYING TO GET MY ATTENTION.
Narrator: ...WHILE A HIDDEN TERROR WAITS...
IT'S COMING.
...TO UNLEASH THEIR DARKEST FEARS.
OH, MY GOD.
LEAVE US ALONE!
AAH! [ BABY CRIES ]
ANDREW!
THERE WAS SOMETHING EVIL IN MY HOME.
ANDREW! NOOOOO!
Narrator: IN AMERICA, THERE IS REAL EVIL.
IT LURKS IN THE DARKEST SHADOWS AND IN OUR MOST ORDINARY TOWNS.
BETWEEN THE WORLDS WE SEE...
SOMEONE IS IN MY ROOM.
...AND THE THINGS WE FEAR...
[ SCREAMS ]
...THERE ARE DOORS.
WHEN THEY ARE OPENED...
[ SCREAMS ]
Narrator: ...NIGHTMARES BECOME REALITY.

COME HERE, BULL. COME ON, BABY. YOU WANT YOUR BALL?
YOU WANT TO CATCH THE BALL, BABY? GO.
IN THE SUMMER OF 2012, JAMIE AND DARRIN SHRIVER
FIND A HOUSE TO MOVE INTO JUST IN THE NICK OF TIME.
COME ON, BULL. OH, THAT'S MY GOOD GIRL.
OHH! YES.
THEY WERE IN THE PROCESS OF BUYING A CONDO
WHEN THE SALE FELL THROUGH.
COME HERE, BULL. Jamie: WE WANTED TO START,
YOU KNOW, TRYING A FAMILY,
WHICH YOU NEED ROOM TO GROW.
READY? GO.
GOOD JOB, BULL.
AT THE LAST MINUTE,
THE ASSOCIATION DENIED US BECAUSE OF OUR DOGS.
THEY SAID THAT THEY WILL NOT ALLOW PIT BULLS.
COME HERE, LUCY. COME ON, BABY.
Darrin: WE DID PIT-BULL RESCUE THROUGH THE YEARS,
SO WE NEVER CONSIDERED GETTING RID OF ANY OF OUR PIT BULLS.
WE HAD TO TAKE THE FIRST THING WE COULD GET AT THAT POINT.
YEAH. YEAH.
Narrator: A FEW DAYS AFTER SETTLING IN,
DARRIN IS ORGANIZING BOXES.
Darrin: WHEN WE FIRST MOVED IN THE HOUSE,
I REMEMBER FEELING LIKE SOMETHING WAS WATCHING US.
IT WAS ODD, BUT IT WASN'T ODD ENOUGH
TO WHERE I WAS THINKING IT WAS ANYTHING OUT OF THE ORDINARY.
IT WAS JUST A WEIRD FEELING.
THE HISTORY ON THE HOUSE, ACCORDING TO THE NEWSPAPERS
AND THE NEIGHBORS
WAS THAT THE FAMILY OF FOUR
HAD PASSED AWAY OF CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING.
HONEY, HAVE YOU SEEN THAT BOX WITH THE DISHES OR --
OH.
I THINK IT BELONGED TO ONE OF THE CHILDREN.
YEAH.
IT'S SO SAD, WHAT HAPPENED.
Jamie: WE'D KNOWN ABOUT THAT HOUSE FOR A WHILE
BECAUSE OF WHAT HAD HAPPENED THERE.
HEY, ARE YOU OKAY MOVING INTO THIS HOUSE?
THEY ASSURED US IT'S SAFE.
IT CAN'T HAPPEN AGAIN.
ONCE I FOUND OUT THAT ALL THE GAS APPLIANCES
HAD BEEN RIPPED OUT, EVERYTHING WAS FULL ELECTRICAL
AND, YOU KNOW, THAT SITUATION
COULDN'T HAPPEN AGAIN, IT PUT ME AT EASE,
AND I WAS WILLING TO GIVE IT A SHOT.
HEY, COME ON.
[ WHEEL SQUEAKING ]
[ CHILDREN LAUGHING ]
Narrator: THE COUPLE WORKS OPPOSITE SHIFTS,
AND FINDING TIME AT HOME TOGETHER IS TOUGH.
DARRIN'S GONE MOST NIGHTS, WORKING SECURITY.
JAMIE'S GONE DURING THE DAY.
Jamie: I WAS WORKING RETAIL FROM 9:30 TO 8:00 AT NIGHT.
Darrin: I SAW WHAT APPEARED TO BE
A CHILD'S SILHOUETTE PASS THE TV,
AND IT BLACKED THE TV OUT BEHIND IT.
IT WAS VERY BRIEF, BUT IT WAS VERY DISTINCT.
DID YOU SEE THAT?
WHAT?
I JUST SAW A CHILD...
THE SHADOW OF A CHILD.
I DON'T KNOW.
OKAY.
YOU'VE BEEN WORKING TOO MUCH.
NO. I SAW IT.
IT WALKED RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE TELEVISION.
Jamie: I DIDN'T SEE IT.
I JUST CHALKED IT UP TO, "OKAY, IT WAS JUST THE SHADOW
OF THE ROOM OR, YOU KNOW, SOMETHING, YOU KNOW,
PLAYED TRICKS ON YOUR EYES," BUT HE WAS VERY ADAMANT
THAT HE SAW A LITTLE CHILD'S SHADOW.
I SAW IT.
I KNOW WHAT I SAW.
I'VE WORKED IN A PSYCHIATRIC ENVIRONMENT.
I'M NOT HALLUCINATING.
I DON'T BELIEVE IN GHOSTS, BUT I KNOW WHAT I SAW.
[ DOG WHINES ]
IT WAS DURING THE DAYLIGHT HOURS.
I HAD WORKED THE NIGHT BEFORE
AND WAS SLEEPING.
DARRIN.
I KEPT HEARING A VOICE, A LOW VOICE.
DARRIN.
JAMIE?
I LOOKED UP, AND I SAW BRIEFLY
WHAT APPEARED TO BE A FEMALE WITH YELLOW-ISH HAIR.
THAT WAS ENOUGH THERE TO REALLY PUT ME ON GUARD.
MY HEART'S RACING.
DARRIN.
AAH!
Narrator: SOON AFTER MOVING INTO A NEW HOME
WITH A TRAGIC PAST,
DARRIN SHRIVER WAKES TO A VISION
HE CAN'T EXPLAIN.
DARRIN.
JAMIE?
THERE WAS NO, REALLY, FACIAL FEATURES
OTHER THAN HER EYES WERE BLACK.
DARRIN.
AAH!
OH! OH!
SORRY.
I DIDN'T MEAN TO STARTLE YOU.
BABE, YOU OKAY?
YOU'RE NOT GONNA BELIEVE ME.
I THINK I SAW HER.
THE WOMAN WHO DIED IN THE HOUSE.
OH, DID YOU HAVE A NIGHTMARE?
NO.
I WAS AWAKE.
I KNOW WHAT I SAW.
BETWEEN HIM JUST BEING EXHAUSTED FROM WORK AND HIS SLEEP APNEA,
I THOUGHT MAYBE HE WAS DREAMING.
GOOD MORNING.
IT'S SATURDAY.
IS IT TIME TO GET UP ALREADY?
MUCH AS I LOVE SLEEPING IN...
WE HAVE A LOT TO DO,
AND I HAVE TO GO TO THE STORE.
IT'S TIME TO FEED THE DOGS, ANYWAY.
I WANT ONE.
DID YOU...HEAR THAT?
YEAH.
JAMIE AND I BOTH HEARD A CHILD'S VOICE
SAY, "I WANT ONE," PLAIN AS DAY.
DO YOU THINK SOME KID GOT IN THE YARD AND...?
I'M LIKE, "OKAY, MAYBE THE NEIGHBOR KIDS,
YOU KNOW, SAW THE DOG OUTSIDE AND WAS LIKE, 'OH, I WANT ONE.'"
THERE WERE NO KIDS OUTSIDE.
AT THAT POINT, IT BECAME NO DOUBT IN MIND.
THERE'S SOMETHING HERE IN THIS HOME.
THAT CAME FROM INSIDE THIS HOUSE.
IT'S GOT TO BE ONE OF THE CHILDREN WHO DIED HERE.
Jamie: I NEVER BELIEVED IN GHOSTS. I NEVER BELIEVED IN PARANORMAL.
THAT WASN'T WHAT I BELIEVED.
I ALWAYS BELIEVED THAT THERE'S A HEAVEN AND YOU GO THERE,
BUT I DIDN'T BELIEVE THAT THERE WAS THIS LINGERING.
I DIDN'T THINK YOU COULD GET TRAPPED.
[ GROWLING ]
IT'S COMING.
I WAS JUST TO THAT POINT
WHERE I WAS ABOUT TO FALL ASLEEP, YOU KNOW,
DEEP SLEEP FOR THE NIGHT.
[ GROWLING ]
I HEARD THIS REALLY DARK,
RASPY GROWL IN MY EAR,
AND I THOUGHT IT WAS MY DOG.
[ GROWLING ]
MM.
OKAY, BULL. IT'S OKAY.
GO BACK TO SLEEP.
I SWATTED MY ARM AND TOLD HIM TO SHUSH.
WELL, WHEN I SWATTED, I DIDN'T FEEL ANYTHING.
SO I ROLLED OVER, AND BULL'S NOT THERE.
BULL?
IN MY HEAD, I'M LIKE, "OKAY, THAT WAS REALLY WEIRD.
IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE. I KNOW WHAT I HEARD,
BUT NOTHING'S THERE TO MAKE THAT SOUND."
NOT HAVING A WHOLE LOT OF PARANORMAL EXPERIENCE,
IT KIND OF TOOK ME A LITTLE BIT TO, YOU KNOW,
SEE MAYBE SOMETHING IS GOING ON.
Narrator: NOT FEELING THREATENED,
JAMIE BELIEVES SHE CAN LIVE WITH THE GHOST IN THEIR HOME.
I WASN'T SCARED OF IT BECAUSE WE HADN'T HAD ANYTHING,
YOU KNOW, THAT HAD TRIED TO HURT US.
I WAS FINE WITH IT AS LONG, YOU KNOW, AS IT WAS FRIENDLY.
Narrator: ONE MORNING AFTER WORKING THE NIGHT SHIFT,
DARRIN IS HOME SLEEPING.
AAH!
Narrator: DARRIN SHRIVER HAS SENSED HARMLESS SPIRITS
IN HIS HOUSE UNTIL NOW.
Darrin: I WAS LAYING IN BED ONE MORNING.
I HAD WORKED NIGHT SHIFT.
ALL OF A SUDDEN, I FELT MY LEG JERK.
AAH! AAH!
SOMETHING GRABBED MY LEG
AND PULLED ME HALFWAY DOWN THE BED.
TO PULL ME, IT TOOK SOME FORCE.
I FELT LIKE THIS THING'S GETTING PHYSICAL.
I REMEMBER FEELING, LIKE, A HEAT SENSATION ON MY LEG,
AND I LOOKED DOWN, AND THERE WAS, LIKE, A REDDISH PRINT,
LIKE A HANDPRINT.
AH!
WHAT THE...?
Narrator: DARRIN IS ALARMED.
IF THE GHOSTS OF THE FAMILY WHO DIED TRAGICALLY
ARE HAUNTING HIS HOME,
WHY ARE THEY TURNING ON HIM?
OR IS SOMETHING DARKER AT WORK?
Darrin: I KNEW THEN WE WERE DEALING WITH SOMETHING
THAT WAS NOT ON THE GOOD SIDE OF NATURE.
Narrator: NOT WANTING TO ALARM HIS WIFE, JAMIE,
DARRIN DECIDES TO KEEP THE INCIDENT TO HIMSELF.
A FEW WEEKS AFTER THE ATTACK,
DARRIN IS PLAGUED BY RECURRING NIGHTMARES.
[ CHILDREN LAUGHING ]
DARRIN.
AAH!
[ BREATHING HEAVILY ]
Jamie: HE ALWAYS HAD THESE DREAMS THAT SOMETHING WAS AFTER HIM.
YOU KNOW, LIKE THOSE DREAMS
WHERE YOU ACTUALLY FEEL LIKE YOU'RE AWAKE THE WHOLE TIME?
YOU KNOW, SO IT WAS LIKE HE WASN'T SLEEPING.
HE WOULD JUST WAKE UP EXHAUSTED,
AND YOU GET TO THAT POINT OF EXHAUSTION,
AND IT AFFECTS EVERYTHING ELSE.
AAH! OH!
YOU OKAY?
I JUST HAD A BAD DREAM. SAME ONE?
YEAH, IT'S THE SAME ONE.
WELL, YOU DON'T HAVE TO SNAP MY HEAD OFF.
[ SIGHS ]
I'M SORRY. I'M JUST REALLY TIRED.
CAN WE TRY AND GET SOME SLEEP?
HE WOULD, YOU KNOW, SAY THINGS TO UPSET ME,
AND I WOULD JUST, YOU KNOW, FIRE BACK,
AND, I MEAN, I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY TIMES
WE JUST EXPLODED AND SCREAMING,
AND WE'RE NOT THOSE PEOPLE.
[ SIGHS ]
Darrin: I DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING 'CAUSE I DIDN'T WANT TO WORRY JAMIE,
BUT SOMETHING WAS IN THAT HOUSE AT THAT TIME
THAT WAS TRYING TO COMMUNICATE WITH ME
OR SCARE THE LIVING HELL OUT OF ME.
Narrator: AS THE NIGHTMARES CONTINUE, DARRIN BEGINS TO GROW ILL.
HIS FATIGUE IS COMPOUNDED BY CONSTANT NAUSEA.
HEY, BABY, HOW YOU FEELING?
Darrin: I THOUGHT ABOUT, "WELL, MAYBE
THERE'S A STOMACH FLU GOING AROUND."
YOU KNOW, THE BUG.
BUT THE NAUSEA WAS UNEXPLAINABLE.
THERE YOU GO. HOW'S THAT FEEL?
BETTER?
Narrator: DARRIN BEGINS TO WONDER IF HE'S EXPERIENCING THE SAME SYMPTOMS
AS THOSE WHO DIED IN THE HOUSE.
Darrin: IT'S JUST A WEIRD FEELING.
THE SYMPTOMS OF CARBON-MONOXIDE POISONING
ARE VERY SIMILAR TO FLU-LIKE SYMPTOMS.
YOU GONNA BE OKAY?
I'LL BE ALL RIGHT. OKAY.
JUST GO TO SLEEP, ALL RIGHT?
GET SOME REST.
I LOVE YOU.
Jamie: AT THAT POINT, I WAS TERRIFIED,
BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO LOSE MY HUSBAND.
HE'S MY BEST FRIEND, HE'S EVERYTHING,
AND SOMETHING IS PHYSICALLY WRONG WITH HIM
THAT I CAN'T FIX, I CAN'T HELP.
Narrator: A FEW DAYS LATER, WHILE STILL EXHAUSTED,
DARRIN IS BACK ON THE NIGHT SHIFT,
JAMIE IS OUT GROCERY SHOPPING,
AND THE DOGS ARE HOME IN THEIR CRATES.
Jamie: WITH THE RESCUE, HOW WE HAD IT SET UP
AT THE TIME, WITH IT BEING COLD,
WE DIDN'T WANT THEM BEING OUTSIDE.
ALL THE DOGS WERE PUT IN CAGES,
AND JUST BECAUSE THEY DO HAVE HOUDINI COMPLEXES,
THEY WERE ALSO PADLOCKED WITH CHAINS
SO THAT THEY COULDN'T BREAK THE DOOR AND GET OUT.
[ DOOR CREAKS ]
[ DOG BARKING ]
[ DOG GROWLING ]
[ BARKING CONTINUES ]
[ GROWLING ]
[ CLATTERING, DOG CRIES ]
[ ALARM BEEPING ]
I'M COMING. I'M COMING.
I OPEN THE DOOR,
AND I HEAR MY ALARM GOING OFF.
I HAD A HANDFUL OF GROCERIES.
WHOA! WHAT THE...?
AND I FEEL SOMETHING BRUSH BEHIND ME,
AND IT, LIKE, ALMOST TRIPPED ME.
[ BEEPING CONTINUES ]
ALL RIGHT. ALL RIGHT.
[ TIRES SCREECH, CRASH, DOG CRIES ]
WHAT?
[ TIRES SCREECH ]
NO.
LUCY!
Jamie: [ CRYING ]
LUCY!
MY BABY.
Narrator: JAMIE SHRIVER HAS JUST WITNESSED THE MOST HORRIFYING MOMENT
OF HER LIFE --
HER DOG LUCY BEING STRUCK AND KILLED BY A PASSING CAR.
Jamie: I RAN OUTSIDE, AND THERE SHE WAS.
I COULDN'T SCREAM. I COULDN'T -- LIKE, INSIDE WAS JUST --
YOU CAN'T PHYSICALLY MAKE ANY SOUNDS.
[ CRYING ]
JAMIE.
OH, MY GOD.
Darrin: IT WAS AROUND 10:30 IN THE EVENING.
JAMIE HAD CALLED ME AND SAYS, "YOU NEED TO COME HOME."
SHE WAS OUT OF BREATH, AND SHE GOES, "LUCY'S GONE."
LUCY WAS VERY SPECIAL TO US, VERY DEAR.
WE LOVED HER LIKE OUR OWN CHILD.
WHAT HAPPENED?
Jamie: I DON'T KNOW.
SHE WAS LOCKED IN HER CRATE
IN THE -- THE LOCKED BACK BEDROOM.
I DON'T UNDERSTAND.
I DIDN'T KNOW SHE WAS OUT.
JAMIE, COME IN HERE.
YOU'RE NOT GONNA BELIEVE THIS.
OH, MY GOD.
IT LOOKS LIKE SHE CHEWED HER WAY OUT.
Jamie: HER CAGE DOOR HAD BEEN UNLOCKED.
HER CAGE HAD PHYSICALLY BEEN MOVED INTO THE HALLWAY.
THE BACK OF IT WAS ALL BLOODY
FROM HER TRYING TO CHEW HER WAY OUT.
THAT WAS THE SECOND I KNEW
THAT THERE WAS SOMETHING EVIL IN MY HOME.
THAT'S THE DAY THAT I WAS READY TO BATTLE.
THAT IS IT.
WHATEVER IS IN THIS HOUSE,
WHATEVER YOU ARE,
WHOEVER YOU THINK YOU ARE,
YOU ARE OUT OF HERE.
LEAVE US ALONE!
Darrin: AT THAT POINT, IT WAS GLOVES OFF.
THIS WAS THE LAST STRAW.
Narrator: DARRIN KNOWS HE MUST DO SOMETHING TO HELP HIS FAMILY.
HE INVITES HIS OLD ACQUAINTANCE
PARANORMAL EXPERT STEVEN LaCHANCE TO INVESTIGATE.
LaChance: HI. HELLO.
HEY. HOW YOU DOING? HEY, STEVE.
YOU DOING OKAY? YEAH, YEAH.
IT'S JUST...
[ SPEAKS INDISTINCTLY ]
LaChance: THE MOMENT I SAW DARRIN, I WAS SHOCKED.
HIS EYES WERE SUNKEN.
YOU COULD TELL HE HADN'T BEEN SLEEPING.
HE'S A VERY HAPPY-GO-LUCKY KIND OF PERSON.
ALL OF THAT WAS GONE.
ALL RIGHT.
Narrator: STEVEN BRINGS ALONG THERESA REAVEY, A SENSITIVE.
BUT BEFORE THEY START, JAMIE HAS AN ANNOUNCEMENT.
WE REALLY HOPE YOU CAN HELP US,
ESPECIALLY WITH A BABY ON THE WAY.
OH. CONGRATULATIONS.
I'M SO HAPPY FOR YOU BOTH.
WE'RE GONNA DO WHAT WE CAN.
NOW, I UNDERSTAND THAT TWO ADULTS, TWO CHILDREN
DIED IN THIS HOUSE UNDER TRAGIC CIRCUMSTANCES.
IT'S REALLY SAD.
I-I THINK I SAW THE WOMAN,
AND...WE BOTH BELIEVE THAT WE HEARD ONE OF THE CHILDREN.
[ SIGHS ]
WELL, FROM WHAT YOU TOLD ME EARLIER,
I BELIEVE THAT WE'RE DEALING WITH SOMETHING
FAR MORE DANGEROUS THAN HUMAN SPIRITS.
IT'S LIKELY DEMONIC.
LaChance: WHEN YOU HEAR SOMEONE SAY
THAT IT WAS BIG ENOUGH TO OPEN A DOOR,
IT WAS BIG ENOUGH TO MOVE A DOG IN A DOG CRATE,
IT CAUSED THAT DOG TO CHEW THROUGH A CAGE,
INSTANTLY YOU GO, "THIS IS NOT YOUR NORMAL HAUNTING."
SO WHAT CAN WE DO?
WELL, THERESA'S GONNA TAKE A WALK AROUND THE HOUSE.
I'M GONNA USE WHAT'S CALLED A GHOST BOX
TO DETECT ANY SPIRIT VOICES.
AND IF WE DETECT ANYTHING DEMONIC, WE WILL DO A CLEANSING.
[ DEVICE BEEPING ]
Reavey: I SENSED THE WOMAN THAT PASSED IN THAT HOUSE.
SHE WAS VERY QUIET,
VERY TIMID,
ALMOST LIKE SHE WAS AFRAID.
OUT OF THE CORNER OF MY EYE,
I SAW A SHORT FIGURE KIND OF RUSH PAST.
IT LOOKED ALMOST LIKE A CHILD.
THE MORE I WALKED THROUGH THE HOUSE,
IT WAS SO INTENSE,
IT WAS LIKE I COULDN'T BREATHE.
THE AIR FELT THICK.
IT WAS A VERY BAD ENERGY THAT I WAS FEELING.
A DEMONIC ENERGY WILL FEED OFF A TRAGEDY,
SO SORROW, SUDDEN DEATHS, A CHILD DYING --
TRAGEDY ATTRACTS NEGATIVE THINGS.
[ DOG WHINES ]
Narrator: THERESA FINDS HERSELF DRAWN TO THE DOG ROOM.
HEY THERE.
HOW YOU DOING?
[ GASPING ]
Reavey: THAT ROOM WAS SO FULL OF NEGATIVE ENERGY,
IT ALMOST MADE ME SICK TO MY STOMACH.
IT WAS LIKE HITTING A WALL IS WHAT IT WAS LIKE.
THERE WAS ENOUGH ENERGY IN THAT ROOM
TO PROBABLY PICK UP ONE OF THOSE CRATES
AND MOVE IT OR THROW IT.
WHAT'S WRONG, BOY?
[ DOG WHINING ]
[ GROWLING ]
[ WHINING CONTINUES ]
WHAT'S WRONG, BOY? [ DOG WHINING ]
Narrator: A SENSITIVE FINDS HERSELF IN HARM'S WAY
WHILE INVESTIGATING A HAUNTED HOME.
Reavey: I LOOKED OUT OF THE CORNER OF MY EYE, AND THERE IT WAS.
IT WAS LIKE A BLACK -- ALMOST LIKE A CLOUD-LIKE THING.
A VERY DARK, INHUMAN SPIRIT --
MORE DEMONIC.
Narrator: THERESA IMMEDIATELY LIGHTS SAGE TO PROTECT HERSELF
AND TO CHASE THE DARK ENTITY AWAY.
SAINT MICHAEL THE ARCHANGEL,
DEFEND US IN BATTLE,
BE OUR SAFEGUARD AGAINST THE WICKEDNESS AND SNARES
OF THE DEVIL. [ GASPS ]
AND DO THOU, O PRINCE OF THE HEAVENLY HOST,
BY THE POWER OF GOD, CAST INTO HELL SATAN
AND ALL THE EVIL SPIRITS WHO WANDER THE WORLD,
SEEKING THE RUIN OF SOULS.
I WAS SAYING THIS PRAYER,
AND I WATCHED THIS MASS LEAVE THIS ROOM.
WE WERE ON A CHASE TO GET IT OUT OF THE HOUSE.
I'VE JUST SEEN IT. THERE'S A DEMON IN THIS HOUSE.
THERE'S NO TIME TO WASTE.
WILL YOU LEAVE THESE PEOPLE ALONE?!
Narrator: SUDDENLY, A VOICE SPEAKS THROUGH THE GHOST BOX.
NO.
Darrin: THEY WERE TELLING IT TO LEAVE,
AND IT JUST KEPT SAYING REPEATEDLY, "NO."
NO. NO.
OUT! LEAVE THIS HOUSE NOW!
NO!
IT'S DONE.
I REALLY COULD NOT SENSE THE WOMAN AT THAT POINT.
Narrator: THERESA DOESN'T SENSE THE SPIRITS OF THE CHILDREN
IN THE HOUSE, EITHER.
Reavey: IT DOES NOT MEAN THEY WERE NOT THERE.
NEGATIVE THINGS WILL NOT STAY WITH WHAT I DO.
GOOD THINGS IN THE HOUSE WON'T LEAVE
UNLESS THEY REALLY WANT TO LEAVE.
HOW YOU FEEL?
FEELS GOOD.
Jamie: YOU JUST FELT THAT DARKNESS GONE,
AN THE ATMOSPHERE WAS SO DIFFERENT.
I DIDN'T FEEL AFRAID,
AND I KNEW EVERYTHING WAS GONNA BE OKAY.
OH, THANK YOU.
THANK YOU SO MUCH. THANKS, STEVEN.
THIS GHOST-BOX THING REALLY WORKS.
[ CHUCKLES ] YES, IT DOES.
BEFORE WE LEAVE, I HAVE SOME ADVICE.
IT'S TIME TO FOCUS ON THE POSITIVE THINGS
IN YOUR LIFE.
YOU'RE HAVING A BABY.
LaChance: WHEN WE LEAVE THE HOUSE, I ALWAYS HAVE A TALK --
FIND THE THINGS IN YOUR LIFE THAT ARE GOOD
TO MOVE ON AND GO BACK INTO A NORMAL LIFE,
WHERE YOU'RE NOT LIVING IN THE MIDST OF THE PARANORMAL
ALL THE TIME.
AND DON'T PLAY WITH ONE OF THESE.
YOU GOT IT.
Narrator: AFTER THE CLEANSING, THE SHRIVERS
FOLLOW STEVEN'S ADVICE TO THINK POSITIVE THOUGHTS,
AND THE HOUSE REMAINS FREE OF PARANORMAL ACTIVITY.
IN THE SPRING OF 2014, ANDREW SHRIVER IS BORN.
Jamie: LIFE WITH ANDREW, IT'S NEVER DULL.
HE'S JUST THE BRIGHTEST THING IN OUR LIFE.
[ BABY COOING ]
Narrator: BUT ONE EVENING, DARRIN HAS A LAPSE IN JUDGMENT.
HE IGNORES STEVEN'S WARNING AND DOWNLOADS A GHOST BOX.
Darrin: MY COUSIN HAD PASSED AWAY, AND I WAS A LITTLE UPSET.
I DOWNLOADED THIS APP FROM MY PHONE,
AND I'M THINKING, "OH, YEAH, WHATEVER."
IF THERE'S ANYBODY HERE,
TALK TO ME.
ONLY ONE PERSON IN THE WORLD CALLED ME BALDY,
AND IT WAS HIM.
I STARTED SEEING THINGS OUT OF THE CORNER OF MY EYE,
LIKE A QUICK MOVEMENT.
IS THERE SOMEONE HERE WITH ME?
DARRIN, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
IS THAT A GHOST BOX?
STEVEN WARNED YOU NOT TO MESS AROUND WITH STUFF LIKE THAT.
WE HAVE THE BABY.
GET RID OF IT.
OKAY, IT'S GONE.
IT'S GONE.
[ BABY CRIES ]
Jamie: I WAS LIKE, "NO, DON'T."
YOU KNOW, "THAT COULD POSSIBLY OPEN IT AGAIN."
SO HE DELETED IT RIGHT AWAY,
AND WE THOUGHT, "OKAY, WE'RE SAFE."
[ CRYING CONTINUES ]
Narrator: A FEW NIGHTS LATER, JAMIE HEARS BABY ANDREW CRYING.
Jamie: OUT OF NOWHERE, AT LIKE 3:00 IN THE MORNING,
ANDREW JUST STARTED SCREAMING BLOODY MURDER.
AND IT WASN'T THE CRY THAT, "I'M HUNGRY,"
IT WASN'T THE CRY THAT, "I NEEDED CHANGED."
IT WAS, "I'M SCARED TO DEATH.
COME GET ME."
MAMA'S COMING, ANDREW.
[ BABY CRYING ]
[ CRYING STOPS ]
ANDREW?
OH, GOD.
ANDREW?
ANDREW?!
NOOOOO!
WHERE'S MY BABY?!
AAH! [ BREATHING HEAVILY ]
ANDREW.
Narrator: BUT IT WAS ONLY A NIGHTMARE --
A TERRIFYING NIGHTMARE.
Jamie: EVERY NIGHT, IT WAS A NIGHTMARE
OF SOMETHING TERRIBLE HAPPENING TO HIM.
LIKE, ONE NIGHT, IT WAS HE GOT KIDNAPPED.
THE NEXT NIGHT, HE DROWNED IN THE BATHTUB.
[ BABY CRYING ]
Narrator: ONCE AGAIN, ANDREW WAS CRYING,
BUT THIS TIME, JAMIE IS CERTAIN SHE IS NOT DREAMING.
ANDREW!
[ CRIES ]
ANDREW!
Narrator: FOR MORE "A HAUNTING," VISIT...
Narrator: EVER SINCE THEIR HOUSE WAS CLEANSED OF A DEMON,
JAMIE AND DARRIN SHRIVER HAVE SLEPT SOUNDLY.
BUT ONE NIGHT, THEIR BABY
CRIES OUT IN DISTRESS AS IF HE WERE NOT ALONE.
[ BABY CRYING ]
AAH! [ BREATHING HEAVILY ] ANDREW.
[ CRYING CONTINUES ]
ANDREW!
[ SCREAMING ]
ANDREW.
OH!
THANK GOD.
OH.
JAMIE, WHAT IS IT? IT'S OKAY.
THE DANGER HAS PASSED,
BUT BABY ANDREW HAS CLEARLY SEEN SOMETHING.
Jamie: THE ACTIVITY STARTED AGAIN WHEN OUR SON WAS 6 MONTHS OLD.
HE WOULD JUST SCREAM AND KEEP HIS EYES CLOSED.
LIKE, HE WAS TERRIFIED TO OPEN THEM.
IT'S BACK.
IT WAS THAT STUPID GHOST-BOX APP YOU DOWNLOADED.
STEVEN WARNED YOU NOT TO MESS AROUND WITH THAT STUFF.
Narrator: DARRIN ADMITS THE GHOST BOX
HE USED TO COMMUNICATE WITH SPIRITS IS TO BLAME.
Darrin: I KNEW THAT I'D OPEN THE DOORWAY,
THINKING THAT IT'S JUST A TOY OR JUST A PHONE APP.
AND FIND OUT, IN REALITY, THIS IS THE REAL DEAL.
MY FAMILY NEEDED TO BE PROTECTED IMMEDIATELY,
ESPECIALLY MY YOUNG SON.
Narrator: TOO ASHAMED TO CONTACT THE FIRST INVESTIGATORS
WHO CLEANSED THE HOUSE,
DARRIN CALLS UPON PASTOR FRED WELLS.
HE AND HIS WIFE, SHAWNA, A SENSITIVE,
AGREE TO PERFORM A BLESSING OF THE FAMILY
AND THE HOUSE.
LORD, WE ASK FOR YOUR PROTECTION
AND YOUR BLESSING OVER YOUR SERVANT JAMIE
DURING AND AFTER THIS BLESSING.
NAME IN JESUS CHRIST, AMEN.
BEFORE WE GOT STARTED, I ACTUALLY PRAY OVER THEM,
MAKING A SIGN OF THE CROSS AND ANOINTING THEM WITH OIL
SO NONE OF THESE THINGS CAN ATTACK THEM
DURING THIS HOUSE BLESSING.
WE CAST ANY UNCLEAN THING IN HERE OUT
AND REMOVE YOU FROM THIS PROPERTY.
THERE ARE NO GOOD SPIRITS.
THEY'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE HERE.
I DON'T COMMUNICATE WITH THEM.
I DON'T CARE TO KNOW WHO THEY ARE,
WHY THEY'RE THERE, WHAT THEIR NAME IS.
THEY'RE ALL EVIL, EVEN IF THEY APPEAR TO BE FRIENDLY.
MY ONLY JOB IS TO GET RID OF THEM.
WE CAST ANY UNCLEAN THING IN HERE OUT
AND REMOVE YOU FROM THIS PROPERTY.
YOU MUST LEAVE IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST.
WE THEN WENT THROUGH THE REST OF THE HOUSE.
WE ANOINTED ALL THE DOORS AND THE CLOSETS AND THE WINDOWS.
NOW LET'S HOLD HANDS IN A CIRCLE AND PRAY.
LORD, WE ASK FOR YOUR BLESSING AND YOUR PRESENCE
TO DWELL WITHIN THIS HOUSE,
FOR YOUR SERVANTS, DARRIN, JAMIE, AND ANDREW.
[ BABY CRYING ]
ANDREW.
Shawna: THE BABY, HE STARTED CRYING,
AND I GOT A CHILL UP MY BACK THAT SOMETHING WAS IN HIS ROOM.
YOU TWO STAY HERE AND KEEP PRAYING.
WE'LL GO CHECK ON THE BABY.
[ CRYING CONTINUES ]
LORD, WE ASK FOR YOUR BLESSING.
NO! NO!
THE DEMON IS HERE.
WHAT?!
THERE WAS A PRESENCE OVER HIM.
THERE WAS NO FORM, JUST A MIST,
AND IT WAS HOVERING OVER THE BABY.
WE NEED TO BANISH IT NOW.
GIVE ME YOUR HAND. [ CRYING ]
WE REBUKE YOU AND CAST YOU OUT NOW
IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER, THE SON, AND THE HOLY GHOST.
Both: WE REBUKE YOU AND CAST YOU OUT NOW
IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER, THE SON, AND THE HOLY GHOST.
[ BABY CRYING ]
[ CRYING STOPS ]
[ SIGHS ]
IT'S DONE.
IT'S GONE.
[ CHUCKLES ]
Jamie: IT JUST FELT SO GREAT TO HAVE ALL THAT DARKNESS GONE.
I DIDN'T HAVE TO FEAR
THAT MY HUSBAND WAS GONNA WAKE UP SICK.
I DIDN'T HAVE TO FEAR THAT MY SON
WAS GONNA BE SCARED, TERRIFIED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT.
I DIDN'T HAVE TO, YOU KNOW, WORRY ABOUT, YOU KNOW,
OUR DOGS BEING HURT AND TORTURED ANYMORE.
AND IT'S BEEN PEACEFUL.
[ COOS ]
Narrator: SINCE THE CLEANSING, THE SHRIVERS' HOME
HAS BEEN FREE OF DEMONIC ACTIVITY.
AND WITH THE TERROR BEHIND THEM,
JAMIE AND DARRIN HAVE BEEN FREE TO BUILD THE LIFE TOGETHER
THEY HAD ALWAYS WANTED.
Darrin: ME AND JAMIE RIGHT NOW ARE SO CLOSE.
WE DO EVERYTHING TOGETHER.
THE THREE OF US HAVE BECOME THAT FAMILY NOW,
AND WE CHERISH EVERY MOMENT WE HAVE.
Jamie: LIFE TODAY IS WONDERFUL.
NOW WE'RE JUST BACK TO BEING WHAT WE WANTED.
IT'S JUST AMAZING TO KNOW THAT IT'S ALL BEHIND US.
Darrin: LUCY'S IN OUR HEART EVERY DAY.
SHE'S BURIED RIGHT OUTSIDE OUR HOME.
WHATEVER SCARED HER, WE WEREN'T --
WE WEREN'T THERE TO PROTECT HER,
AND WE CAN ONLY KEEP HER ALIVE IN OUR HEART NOW.
Jamie: I THINK ABOUT LUCY ALL THE TIME.
TO THIS DAY, I STILL DON'T KNOW
WHY WAS IT THAT HOUSE, WHY WAS IT US,
WHY WAS IT HER?
I AM FURIOUS, AND I WILL BE TO MY DYING DAY.
TO LOSE HER THE WAY WE DID,
THAT'S WHAT MADE ME KNOW 100%
THAT THERE IS OTHER THINGS IN THIS WORLD
THAT YOU CANNOT SEE THAT CAN HURT YOU.
