Deadly Possessions (2016–…): Season 1, Episode 6 - Dr. Kevorkian's Death Van and Natalie Wood's Yacht - full transcript

Your mother predicted
Natalie Wood's death?

Yes!

- What are you trying to do? **** my wife?
- What?

There wouldn't be autopsies?

Nope.

ZAK: I bought
the Kevorkian Deathmobile.

Can you try to get
in the back of the van?

ZAK:
Since I was a young boy,

I've been collecting
haunted artifacts,

drawn to the dark and mysterious
energy they carry.

The Manson murders
will go down as



one of the most heinous crimes
of all time.

Through my career
as a paranormal investigator,

I've been able
to build my collection.

Now I'm building a museum....

MAN: The Conjure Chest
is one of the deadliest

- haunted artifacts in existence.
- WOMAN: Robert the Doll.

He has affected
thousands of people.

ZAK:
...and providing a place

for people
to bring their haunted items

and hear their stories.

We aid people
into coming into the world.

Why can't we aid them
in exiting the world?

These are my deadly possessions.

We are about to discuss
a very sad, a very mysterious,



and a very famous story

that is connected
to these objects.

All these times
came from the Splendour yacht.

In 1981,
Academy Award-nominated,

Golden Globe-winning actress
Natalie Wood

died mysteriously when she was
aboard the Splendour yacht.

She was on the boat
with her husband, Robert Wagner,

who played Number Two
in "Austin Powers,"

actor Christopher Walken,

and the boat's captain,
Dennis Davern.

With so many
unanswered questions

about her death that night,

there's a lot
of paranormal activity

that is attached
to these objects.

We are about to welcome
Ron Nelson,

the current owner
of the Splendour yacht --

the same yacht

that Natalie Wood
mysteriously died on.

My name is Ron Nelson.

I'm here in Hawaii,

standing in front
of my vessel, Splendour.

Zak asked
if I could bring up some objects

from the vessel to his museum,
so he could examine them and see

if there's any paranormal
activity involved with them.

I'm not sure if I believe in
ghosts and spirits,

but with the strange things

that have happened
aboard Splendour,

I certainly don't discount
the possibility.

ZAK: Ron has agreed
to bring several items

from the original
Splendour yacht to my museum,

including the steering wheel,
radar, and life preservers.

Because of
the strange experiences

Ron has had aboard the yacht

and the mystery surrounding
Natalie Wood's death,

I want to see
if these specific objects

have any residual energy
connected to them.

Ron Nelson, tell me who you are

and what you have to do
with the Splendour yacht

and these items.

I have owned Splendour
for about, oh, 30 years --

about five or six years
after the death of Natalie Wood.

Very, very famous case,
very famous person.

Even to this day,
people still are curious

about what happened that night
and the mystery of her death.

Mm-hmm.

Yeah, you say that, and in 2011,
they reopened the case,

because the captain,
Dennis Davern,

actually stated some things
in his book.

Nine months later,

the chief medical examiner
changed her death certificate

from "drowning" to "drowning
with undetermined factors."

[ Water lapping ]

[ Siren wailing ]

And I know
that there were some bruises

and stuff like that
on Natalie Wood,

and they were unable
to determine

if she suffered those before
or after she got off the boat.

With a lot of unanswered
questions with this case

and a death attached to it,

there's going to be what
I believe an unrested soul --

that of Natalie Wood.

ZAK: Natalie Wood's body
was discovered

in the water
near the Splendour yacht

and close to the boat's dinghy,
named The Valiant.

Do you believe in ghosts?

I won't say I believe in ghosts,

but I won't say I don't believe
in ghosts, you know, 'cause...

Because of what?

Like I say, strange occurrences.

Who sold it to you?

I bought it at an auction
from a doctor,

and I used to go back and forth
from Hawaii to California

to fix it up.

One day,
I was working on the boat,

and I was finished
for the night,

and the phone started ringing
on the boat.

I'm going,
"Who would call me?"

[ Telephone rings ]

The phone was
down in Natalie's bedroom.

I stepped on the bottom stairs,

and it felt like
someone grabbed my ankles.

What?

And I went through the floor

and hit one of the studs
on my shin.

Then the phone stopped ringing,

soon as I went through the floor
to the bottom of the boat.

Dang. You're giving me
chills now.

I had 40 stitches in my shin,

and the scar's
in the shape of a "V."

Wasn't the dinghy named Valiant?

- Yes, it was.
- It was, wasn't it?

So, you connected that to that.

Yes, it was.

[ Laughing ]
That's crazy.

The dinghy named Valiant
was missing from the Splendour

when Natalie Wood's body

was found
floating facedown in the ocean.

Could this be a clue

in the mysterious death
of Natalie Wood?

So, you believe
that she did that to you?

If I believed in ghosts,
I would.

Well, it's starting to sound
like you are, Ron.

I've been hurt.
I'm not gonna argue with her.

Maybe she just
wants me to remember her,

so she put a scar on me.

Maybe that night,
when she did drown --

and, you know,
we don't know how --

maybe her spirit came back
to the boat -- to the yacht.

I believe that Natalie Wood
is at unrest.

She knows what happened.
We don't.

I can't help but think
that Natalie lingers here,

waiting for her story
to be told --

perhaps even attached
to these very objects.

I need to speak to
one of the only three survivors

of that night

who can fully confirm
the origins of these items --

ship captain Dennis Davern.

How's it feel
to look at that stuff?

Yeah, it's kind of, um...

It's kind of weird
looking at it.

You know, that steering wheel

was there all the time
in front of me.

When's the last time
you saw this stuff?

Almost two years ago.

I went to Hawaii and...

Wait -- Is that
when they reopened the case?

That's when
they reopened the case,

and I went to Hawaii with
two L.A. homicide detectives.

[ Siren wailing ]

Dennis, did they reopen the case
because of you?

Not because of me.

I think it was so they could
continue the investigation.

Dennis, you were on board
that night.

Yes, I was.

The four of us -- myself...

Christopher Walken --
Actor Christopher Walken,

Robert Wagner, Natalie Wood,
and yourself.

We had returned to the boat

after dinner and some drinks
and stuff like that.

Was everybody pretty drunk
at that time?

Yes. Mm-hmm. Yeah.
Very drunk.

Everybody gets drunk,
there's one woman...

Yeah, things change.
Mm-hmm.

Do you think
that Christopher Walken was...

...hitting on Natalie?

No. I don't think
he was really hitting on her.

But the way Robert Wagner saw it
in his eyes, he was.

The anger was just --
It was just incredible.

It was horrible.

Did you hear him say something
in that argument?

The one main sentence
in his anger to Christopher was,

"What are you trying to do?
**** my wife?"

And after that, everything
that was said after that was...

He picked up a bottle of wine

and smashed it on the table...

...the glass
shattering all over.

So there was a lot of anger.

Oh, God, it was horrible.

When that took place,

Christopher decided
to go to his room,

and Natalie went to her room.

Robert Wagner followed.

The fighting continued
in the stateroom.

I mean, it was, like,
things being thrown around --

just a horrible,
horrible physical fight.

There were so many loud noises.

And I had two beeswax candles
that were on the table.

I had one of the candles lit,
and it shows how long

the arguing was
before her death.

Do you think
if you went in there

and tried to calm down
the situation,

you would've been hurt?

He told me to go away
when I knocked on the door,

so I walked up on the bridge,

and then
when everything became silent,

I thought, "I need to go down
and check what's going on."

He told me,
"Natalie's missing."

He says,
"Could you check the boat?

Could you check to see if she's
anywhere else on the boat?"

I thought,

"Well, maybe just let me check
Christopher's stateroom."

I opened the door --
Christopher was asleep.

Whether he was really asleep,
I don't know,

but he was asleep.

And I came back
and I told Robert Wagner,

I said, "She's not on this boat.

We need to turn on
the searchlight.

We need to notify people.

We need to find her."

So, your mother
predicted Natalie's death?

Yes!

ZAK: I've been speaking
to Dennis Davern

about the night
that Natalie Wood disappeared

on the very yacht
that he was the captain of.

And I told Robert Wagner,

I said, "She's not on this boat.

We need to turn on
the searchlight.

We need to notify people.

We need to find her."

What time of night was this?

11:00-something at night.

He said,
"Let's have a drink."

I felt like
I was just getting --

made to drink
more and more and more,

and finally,
after a long time...

we notified the people ashore.

And then the police did
a helicopter search at daybreak.

And then
they discovered her body.

How do you know

that Natalie Wood
didn't just get angry

and try to take the dinghy
back to shore?

Well, number one,
she would've called me and said,

"Dennis, could you
move the boat?"

And that's my job.

So she wouldn't have done that.

You know, when we're drunk,
we make bad decisions.

Do you ever think Natalie Wood

just got so fed up
of this stuff?

Absolutely not.

She wasn't...

She wasn't that drunk,
and even if she was,

I guarantee
she wouldn't even attempt...

Mm-hmm.

...to do anything
with the dinghy.

Mm-hmm.

Absolutely not.

She was deathly afraid of water.

Mm-hmm.

Terrified of the water.

A woman terrified of the water

is found floating in it
under mysterious circumstances.

This is too bizarre.

I feel like I need to know more
about who Natalie was

and the root of her fear.

To do that, I will speak
to her sister, Lana Wood,

who is here to share
intimate details about Natalie.

I want to ask you
some questions,

but if there's any
that you don't want to answer,

anything like that,
just let me know.

[ Laughing ] Okay.

These are some objects
from the...

Yes, they are. Wow.

...from the yacht.

- Mm-hmm.
- Wow.

They were brought here from Ron.

Yeah.

Do you believe that your sister,

her spirit is not at rest?

And has she ever made contact
with you, Lana?

I-I don't...

I don't really know.

I don't know
whether she's at rest or not.

I think she's trying to be.

Um...

She was a very, very concerned,
very loving mother

and was very worried
about her girls.

One time, when I was in my home,

I saw white,
but diaphanous white, moving.

And I thought,
"What on Earth is that?

Oh, maybe condensation
from the air conditioner."

Like a mist?

Yeah, but moving.
Yeah.

Yeah, I don't think
I've ever seen a heater

or air conditioner
cause visible mist before.

- No.
- Did you feel anything?

- Obviously, that wasn't it.
- Right.

It was unnerving to me,

and I actually said,
"I don't know why you're here,

but I can't deal with you
right now.

Please go.
Rest in peace.

Please leave.
I don't want you here."

And I never saw it again.
Never.

I didn't feel

that it was threatening
or anything frightening.

It doesn't really bother me.

And I would welcome it now.

Scared me before,
but it doesn't anymore.

Natalie drowning or...

...ending up
in the water...

in itself is completely bizarre,

because she was
terrified of water,

going back to when I was a kid.

Our mother
was rather superstitious.

She used to always tell
Natalie and I both

that in China,
a gypsy woman told her

that she was going to have
two daughters,

that she saw fame,

there was gonna be
a great deal of fame,

but they said there would
a loss through drowning.

- What?
- Yeah.

And she had been
telling me that story --

Who told --
told your mother this?

Yes!

Your mother told you and Natalie

there would be a loss
from drowning in your family?

Yes.

So your mother predicted
Natalie's death?

Yes.

[ Waves lapping ]

Can I ask you
what you believe happened

to your sister that evening?

Alcohol...

anger...

I don't believe for an instant

that anything
was done purposely.

I don't think she's at rest yet.

Too many things have happened.

What kind of things?

I've had this clock for years,

and it never worked.

A clock that she gave you?

Yeah.

About a month ago...

...the clock starts to chime
all by itself.

What?

After years?

I just couldn't figure out

why that clock
would just start again.

[ Clock chiming ]

Okay,
there's one other thing, Zak,

that you might be interested in.

The Hawaiian people are
very into their culture...

- Very spiritual.
- Yes.

And I had a kahuna --

They call them kahunas
in Hawaii.

Like a Hawaiian priest.

We flew him up
to bless Splendour.

Wait -- Why would you
have this kahuna

come to the Splendour
and have him bless it

if you don't believe in ghosts?

Eh, maybe I believe
a little bit.

Okay, we're getting
somewhere now.

I picked him up at the airport.

He's about the size
of a football player,

sunglasses, and I can see tears

coming down his cheek
through the sunglasses.

- He was crying.
- Really?

He says,
"There's so much sadness here."

He says, "I'm having
a hard time with it."

So he believed that there was
also bad spirits on the boat...

Oh, yes.

...from the moment, maybe,
of her death.

After he blessed it,

we went up
to the very top of the boat.

He says,
"The bad spirits are gone.

It's time for you to make
the good spirits welcome here."

And when he said that,
it was like you walked into

an air-conditioned,
ice-cold room.

I've experienced that.

- Yeah, you have?
- I know. I know.

It's a beautiful moment, though.

- It is.
- It's surreal.

You were talking about
her using other elements.

That was --

See? I am.

That was a real thing.

So that marked you, that moment?

Oh, yeah,
I'll never forget that,

and the feeling
about how quickly it changed.

It wasn't like a wind came up.

It was the atmosphere --

hot and humid
to crisp, cold air.

How do you feel
about these objects?

You want to stand up and...

- Yes. I would.
- This is the actual wheel, and...

[ Groans ]

[ Exhales sharply ]

I don't want to go near
the life preserver.

[ Sighs ]

She could've been saved.

It's mixed-feeling, these items,

'cause she did have
good memories there, as well,

but, um...

there's isn't any happiness now.

Right.

Thank you.

Thank you.
[ Laughs ]

These were on the coffee table

the last night
of Natalie's life.

ZAK: There were
a pair of beeswax candles

on the coffee table
aboard the Splendour yacht

the night
Natalie Wood disappeared.

Two beeswax candles
that were on the table.

I had one of the candles lit,

and it shows
how long the arguing was

before her death.

The ship's captain,
Dennis Davern,

lit one of the candles

when the argument between
Robert and Natalie began.

So, the amount of time
the argument started

till her death
was that amount of time.

He's held on to them
for over three decades

as a reminder
of this tragic event.

I would like
to show Lana Wood them.

Have you ever
showed these objects to her?

- No, I haven't.
- Okay.

Do you think
that you would like to share

and show her the candles?

It's fine with me,
if it's okay with her.

I want Dennis
to share these candles

and their story with Lana

in hopes of giving her
some emotional closure

about her sister, Natalie Wood.

I was wondering
if you wanted to see them.

Yes, I would like to, actually.

- You would? Okay.
- Yes. I would.

I just wanted to ask you first,

and he wanted me
to ask you first.

ZAK: Lana, have a seat.

Okay.

Dennis, it's okay.

And I'd like for you
to show Lana

what these objects are.

- Okay.
- Okay?

- Lana.
- Yeah.

These...

You know Natalie liked
beeswax candles.

Yes.

Well, these were
on the coffee table

the last night of her life,

when the wine bottle
smashing on that table.

These candles
were in the candle holders,

and when we returned to the boat

from the restaurant
that evening,

from when the fight began,
this candle here was lit.

I didn't light this candle.

But from this time,

that's from the beginning
of the fight

to the end of Natalie's life.

Wow.

[ Sighs ]

When did you --

Did you take these the next day,

or when did you
take the candles?

It took me at least three months
to even go down to the boat,

because I just couldn't
get myself to go there.

But I started taking
everything off the boat,

and that's when I took those.

Mm-hmm.

And they meant something to me.

Oh, absolutely.

Natalie loved candles.

I just wanted him
to show you these...

Thank you.

...just so
you could see them.

I think it's important.

Mm-hmm.

I do, too.

- Thank you, Dennis.
- You're welcome.

Thank you for everything.

You're welcome, too.

Yeah. Thank you both
for coming here.

I really appreciate it, okay?

This story and these interviews
have inspired me

to dedicate a room of my museum
to the memory of Natalie Wood.

I will make it my mission

to continue
reaching out to her spirit

so that one day,
I truly hope she can find peace.

A short time ago,
I bought an object,

and when I bought this object,
it made the news.

I bought
the Jack Kevorkian Deathmobile.

And we had to
actually demo a wall

to get it into this room,
so right now,

the van is just sitting
in that room over there.

And Jack Kevorkian's attorney,
Geoffrey Fieger,

is about to arrive.

Geoffrey Fieger, at first,

said that he didn't believe
that the van still existed,

but I don't think that he's sure
that it was demolished.

So he took
a last-minute flight here

to sit down to talk with me,

and we're gonna settle this
once and for all.

ZAK:
Got lost there, huh?

Yeah. Boo.

Many twists and turns
in this place.

Geoffrey Fieger, you were
Jack Kevorkian's attorney

for a number of years.

- About 10.
- 10 years?

That's right.

I need to know
if this van is possessed.

While my crew finishes
putting it in the museum

for us to investigate later,

I want to hear more
about its history

from someone
who experienced it firsthand.

Geoffrey,
do you believe in ghosts?

Do you believe
in the spirit world?

No, but I'd love
to have evidence of that.

Everybody would, wouldn't they?

Kevorkian thought this was it --

You make what you make
out of what you have.

Dr. Kevorkian was persecuted
by the courts in the 1990s

for assisting
with at least 130 suicides.

Geoffrey Fieger repeatedly
cleared his name in that time.

You got him out of a lot.

Yeah, until the end,

when he decided
her wanted to represent himself.

[ Cell door closes ]

In 1999, he was charged with,

I believe,
second-degree homicide,

sentenced to 20 to 25 years
in prison.

He only served eight.

Which was absurd.

He no more killed that patient
than hospice kills patients

when they give them
unlimited amounts of morphine,

which you can do today
because of Kevorkian.

So, this van that I acquired --

I know that when we were
speaking with you,

trying to get you out here
to do an interview,

you didn't believe that it was
Jack Kevorkian's van.

I heard a little radio show
that you did.

FIEGER: I don't think
it's his microbus.

We knew that there was a danger
that sometime in the future,

someone would want to make
a profit off of this van,

so we took it to this junkyard.

We had it crushed
into a metal ball.

It was always my belief
that that van had been destroyed

as a result
of us paying the guy.

But you never saw it destroyed.

I never did,
and neither did Kevorkian.

Okay.

I took the steering wheel
and the hubcaps,

and I still have those
in my office,

so that's why
I always was very suspicious

that somebody said they were
selling Kevorkian's van.

And your staff
subsequently has shown me

pretty irrefutable evidence
in terms of pictures taken

by the Oakland County
Sheriff's Department

when Janet Adkins died

and which are identical
to dents and creases in the van,

and I don't think anybody
could have contemplated that.

It's just impossible to do.

In history,
that van will be valuable

not because of its macabre,
but because it's so important

in terms of medical advancement
of assisted suicide.

Part of medical history.

That van
will be considered important.

In fact, that van --

you'll find that the Smithsonian
would want that van.

130 -- That's the number
that there is to the public.

There were a lot more --
well over 200.

He was doing them in the van.

Janet Adkins wasn't
the only one in the van.

He was doing the assisted
suicides in the van?

There wouldn't be autopsies?

Nope.

ST. JOHN: I guess
he overdosed on pills.

ZAK: I'm speaking
with Geoffrey Fieger,

Jack Kevorkian's
former attorney,

about the van Kevorkian used
to perform assisted suicides.

130 -- That's the number
that there is to the public.

There were a lot more --
well over 200.

He was doing them in the van.

Janet Adkins wasn't
the only one in the van.

He was doing the assisted
suicides in the van?

Yeah. There was one where
we were traveling behind --

Pretty funny story, actually.

The gentleman was quite tall.

He couldn't fit in the van,
so his feet were out the window.

Oh, my...

And Jack was assisting.

We were following,

and you could see the guy's feet
outside the van

while somebody else
was driving the van.

Oh, my...

That story's never been told.

How many different people
do you think died in the van?

The only one you know of
is Janet Adkins.

Janet Adkins was the first.

Janet Adkins
was the first patient

that Dr. Kevorkian
helped euthanize

in the van that I now own.

Could any of these patients'
residual energy

still be present in the van?

That's the one that you know of.

I know of others, yeah.

Others?
We'll just say "others"?

I know of others.

After Janet Adkins,
the police took the van.

I got that van back.

He never again
left anyone in that van,

because the police
would've taken the van again.

Where would they go? Where would
he take these bodies?

There were hotels.

There were various places.

He was living in a home
that I owned on a lake.

So Jack Kevorkian
was doing assisted suicides

at your house?

Not my house, but a house I own.

Okay.

But, I mean,
Kevorkian got smart.

Unless Jack told them
that he had assisted,

the police never knew.

These were sick people.

This isn't like they found
young, healthy people dead.

You're talking about people

who had been sick
for a very long time.

- So, there wouldn't be autopsies?
- Nope.

So, when is the last time
you saw the van that I now own?

When we took it to the junkyard.

- When you took it to the junkyard.
- [ Laughs ]

I have the title, too,
with Jack's signature on it.

Here's the title
that came with it.

Where's his signature?
On the back?

On the back.

Yeah, that's his signature, too.

And his address is my home.

Really?

Where he was living.

So this checks out?

- It does.
- Okay.

What would it be like

to live in a house
once occupied by Kevorkian,

with all of the potential
residual energy

still lingering on?

Annie St. John knows the answer
to that question

and has come to me seeking help.

So, you live in
Jack Kevorkian's old house?

This is something I found out
through a few of the people

that had lived there
before me, actually.

I hear that there's some things

that have been going on
in the house.

There was one event
that happened,

where I was in my bedroom

and my bedroom door was closed

and my knob was just
twisting and turning,

like something was
on the other side of the door.

That was the first thing
that really, really scared me.

I also had a neighbor
who had lived upstairs,

and he ended up
committing suicide.

He was right in the apartment
above me,

so I could hear him at night,

and he was a loud guy,
so I would hear him often.

During that night,
I didn't hear anything up there.

And I did have a weird thought
in my head,

like, "Is he all right?"

just 'cause
he wasn't being loud.

And I do remember hearing
kind of like a...

sort of like a moaning sound
or, like, gurgly sound.

I guess he overdosed on pills,

and he was taking it
with alcohol.

Do you believe
that him committing suicide --

What do you believe
it was caused from?

[ Sighs ]
You know, I don't know.

I don't know
if there's something

that was kind of left over
from when Jack was there,

maybe something unfinished.

Mm-hmm.

I have no idea.

After hearing
these firsthand accounts

of the activity and death

in the very house
Kevorkian once called home,

I wonder if similar energy
also occupies the van.

Do you believe that maybe
spirits in the home

that were patients
of Dr. Jack Kevorkian

could have influenced him?

Do you believe that that could
be a possibility or no?

Yeah, I do.
100%, I do.

ZAK: Annie,
you haven't seen the van yet.

Oh, my God.
She's going inside of it?

ZAK: Did lingering spirits
with unfinished business

follow Kevorkian home,

tormenting the current residents
in their confusion?

Did they attach themselves
to that house

and the van that I now own?

The only living person
who can confirm

the identity of the van
is Geoffrey Fieger.

Construction is going on here.
There's some old insulation.

So I got to wear this
for my asthma.

Geoffrey Fieger, here's the van.

Yep.

A little worse for wear.

Now, where is the hubcaps?

I'm looking for mine.

There's the one you're missing.

And this steering wheel...

They must have put on.

They've put on.

And this is what Kevorkian used.

So, Geoffrey Fieger,
do I own Jack Kevorkian's van?

You own a piece of history.

This is
Dr. Kevorkian's van,

where at least three people
that we know of

lost their lives.

If Annie's experience
in Kevorkian's home

has shown me anything,

it's that there is
a very real possibility

that spirits
with unfinished business

may be attached to this van
that I now own.

With Annie's help,
I need to reach out to them.

Okay, right now, we are
going to do an experiment.

Annie, you haven't
seen the van yet.

Nope.

I want you to go in there alone.

I want you to just see

if you have the same feeling
around the van

that you do when you're
at Jack Kevorkian's old house.

I'm gonna give you
a digital recorder,

and I want you to ask questions
to the spirits in there.

- Okay?
- All right.

And I want to ask you --
we were just sitting here

just before
the camera started rolling.

What did you and I both hear?

We heard someone saying
"Hello" -- a female voice.

- In a female voice.
- Yeah.

ZAK: Hey,
roll cameras for a second.

**** There's nothing recording

to where we couldn't have
captured that.

WOMAN:
And she heard it, too.

We could not
debunk this voice at all.

Could it be a spirit
from the van?

Go and find out.

- Okay.
- Okay.

I'm in the room.

[ Sighs ]

We also have an EMF detector
inside the van

so that if any
spirit manifestations occur,

we'll have scientific proof
that there was some type

of electromagnetic field
manifesting.

Do you think you recognize me?

If there are any spirits
in the room,

give me a sign.

Oh, my God.
She's going inside of it?

Okay.

We've got no visual on her
right now.

If anyone is here,
can you give me a sign?

Can you zoom in?

[ Faint moan ]

What was that?

- Did you hear that?
- Like a moan?

- Yeah!
- Yeah.

Hey, Annie, did you just hear
a moan or something?

I definitely heard a moan.

- She heard it.
- She heard it.

So, now
she just gave confirmation

that she heard the same
female moan that we did.

ZAK: Not only do we all hear
this unexplained female moan

with our own ears,
but at the same exact time,

our EMF detector
receives a large spike,

scientifically documenting
a change

in the electromagnetic energy
inside the death van.

Can you zoom in?

What was that?

How are you feeling right now?

Um... very scared.

I'm a little --
I definitely felt something.

Can you try
to get in the back of the van?

Um... we're gonna do it.

Are you stuck?

Do you feel stuck where you are?

[ Light thud ]

- Did you hear that? - Definitely.
- Yeah.

It was a slam or something.

Okay, I don't know
if you guys could hear that,

but I definitely
just heard, like, a...

We just heard a slamming noise.

Yes, I heard that.

Did that come
from inside the room with you?

It may have came from, like,
sort of the back of the room.

Do you feel stuck where you are?

- Did you hear that? - Definitely.
- Yeah.

- It sounded like a door on it shut or something.
- Yeah.

Can you go look
at the backside of the van?

That's fine.

This girl came here
for just a simple interview.

I don't think she had any idea

we were gonna put her
inside the Deathmobile.

Decided to send Aaron in there
to do a spirit-box session.

[ Garbled voice ]

- Whoa!
- Whoa!

That's that same female
three times.

ZAK: We're currently investigating
Dr. Jack Kevorkian's death van

with Annie St. John,
who lives in his former home.

So, because we heard
this female moan audibly

and we heard this bang

that apparently came
from this room,

I decided to send Aaron in there
to do a spirit-box session

so we could try to hear these
spirits live in the moment.

Can you tell us
whose van this belongs to?

Are you happy
that this van still exists

and are you attached to it?

Not getting any responses.

Let's see
if Annie can get a response.

Do you recognize me?

[ Garbled voice ]

"Bridget."

Whoa.

ZAK: Is this spirit mistaking
Annie for someone named Bridget,

or are they saying
that their name is Bridget?

Do you recognize me?

"Bridget."

Do you recognize me?

[ Garbled voice ]

It's a female response.

"What do you mean?"

She lives in a place
where the doctor used to live.

Does that make sense at all?

[ Garbled voice ]

- Whoa!
- Whoa!

That's that same female
three times.

And it sounds like almost
the same tone of the moan.

She lives in a place
where the doctor used to live.

Does that make sense at all?

- Whoa!
- Whoa!

I got chills, man.

Yeah, I'm, like...

She's definitely in this room.

- You okay?
- Yeah.

What?

I don't know.
I'm just...

- Spooked?
- Yeah.

ZAK: With Annie
starting to feel affected,

I decide
to end the investigation,

as she and Aaron

have already established
intelligent communication,

validating to us
that there's at least one spirit

still attached
to Dr. Kevorkian's death van.

We received confirmation
of the van's origin

from the only living person
who could validate its identity.

Geoffrey Fieger,
do I own Jack Kevorkian's van?

You own a piece of history.

And now we've received
an intelligent response

from a spirit

trying to communicate
with Annie St. John...

Whoa!

...current resident
of Kevorkian's former home.

This is just the beginning
of a long process

with the newest part
of my collection.

As people come
to visit the museum,

I'm curious to see
how their energy will interact

with such an iconic
piece of history.
