Destination Fear (2019–…): Season 2, Episode 3 - Old Montana Prison - full transcript
The team investigates a former Montana prison haunted by dark entities known for choking, shanking and even possessing visitors. Dakota must overcome his fear of violent spirits in order to...
Welcome to
Big Sky Country, Montana.
This time around,
I'm the one in control.
Oh, Tanner! A prison!
Yeah.
I hate prisons.
You had to do something
pretty bad to be sent here.
I got shanked.
It actually felt like somebody
had taken a knife and just...
It's got to be close
to about 200 inmates
and guards that have died here
at the prison.
How many pieces of people
still exist on this landscape?
Now it's time to go sleep alone.
Whoa!
****
What the **** was that?
My name is Dakota Laden.
I am a documentary filmmaker.
For the past few years,
I've been investigating
the paranormal with Zak Bagans
and the "Ghost Adventures" crew.
Dakota Laden.
Welcome, buddy.
I grew up in a house
where paranormal activity
terrorized my entire family.
It has gripped my sister,
my childhood best friend,
and me ever since.
So, I had an idea --
a psychological experiment...
Aah!
...where I would test how terror
affects the human mind,
what it reveals about
our true selves,
and just how much of it
a person can withstand.
To understand the paranormal,
first we need to overcome
our fear.
I'm leading us on a road trip
to explore
the most haunted abandoned
locations in all of America.
Each night, we'll separate
and sleep alone.
The catch is, I'm the only one
who knows where we're going.
Welcome
to Big Sky Country, Montana.
Normally, Dakota is the one
who plans the whole trip.
But this time around,
I'm the one in control.
We've decided that each of us
gets a chance
to pick a haunted location.
So, I'm the only one who knows
where we're going this time.
The team right now is
hanging out a hot springs spa.
I think it's gonna be
their one chance of happiness
right before
we go to this location.
Tanner's talking
about some whatever --
the location we're going to.
Well, we don't care right now.
'Cause we're about
to have some fun!
Whoo! Oh, yeah, baby!
Ohhh!
Oh, my God!
I'm a flying dolphin!
Aaah!
I can hear the guys
back there having a blast,
but I don't think
that they're ready,
'cause they're gonna be
screaming
even more once
they see the location.
Last time, Chelsea picked
a hospital in Texas,
and this time, I picked
an extremely secluded
abandoned prison
in the middle of Montana.
In operation for 108 years,
the facility had hundreds
of recorded violent deaths,
including botched executions,
accidental fatalities,
murders, and suicides.
This prison has incredibly
violent spirits,
known to choke, possess,
push, and even shake visitors.
I ultimately selected
this location because of Dakota.
Last time we went to a prison,
Dakota was physically attacked
by a spirit of an inmate.
Go! Get up!
Get up! Get up!
My back was, like, burning.
****
Are you kidding me?
Are you serious?
Yes.
Okay, I'm -- no.
We got to go.
I'm getting out of here.
I am nervous
for every single one of us.
But the main goal
is I want Dakota to be able
to face his fears of violent
spirits head-on this time.
Okay, I don't know
if I can jump that far.
I can! I can!
Oh, my gosh!
He's so athletic!
I think you guys are gonna be
thoroughly impressed
about how messed up
this location is.
I just want to yell it out,
because I just can't hold it in.
Can we get a frickin' hint
already about where we're going?
Geez, all right.
I can give you guys
a couple of teases.
So, there's been a report
that someone's been stabbed
by a spirit here.
What?
Stabbed?
How?
Like, physically been stabbed.
What the hell? No.
Yeah.
Does it make sense with the
location that we're going to?
100 percent.
200 people have died
on this property.
I haven't even seen 200 people
while I've been here.
Like, I've seen more cows
than people, honestly.
True.
There was a certain point
in time over 100 years ago
where there was
a huge population burst.
And that actually alludes to
where we're going to right now.
Right now?
Right now.
So, I know that Montana is known
as Big Sky Country.
But it's actually
what's underground
that put this city on the map.
What are we talking about here?
We are gonna go underground
into a mine. Ohh!
I've never been.
Me neither.
Is there, like, a reason
why you picked a mine?
So, because of the population
boom here,
it really brought about the
reason for the next location
that we're going to
tomorrow night.
It's gonna be really cool.
We're going deep underground.
Oh, my gosh.
That's scary.
I don't know why.
That scared me, too.
Well, it's time
to get down and dirty.
All right!
You guys ready for this?
Let's do it.
Oh, black cat.
Oh, you see a black cat.
Black cat.
That's not a good sign.
That's not a good sign.
Well, looks cute, though.
Hi, guys. How's it going, Larry?
Tanner.
Welcome to Butte.
Thank you.
Excited to be here.
Can you tell us a little bit
about the history here?
Butte was the biggest
mining camp
in the United States
at one time.
We produced
a third of the copper
used in the United States.
That's incredible.
There were 17,000 men
just working underground.
Wow.
One of our local residents here
calls Butte a damn big deal.
Makes a lot of sense.
You guys will see
when you go underground.
By all means, turn off
all your electronic equipment
and your lights one time,
'cause you've never seen
darkness like underground.
It's a completely -- it comes in
and just envelops you.
So, I'm assuming, with hard
working conditions like this
and so many people,
there must have been a lot
of deaths down in the mines.
Oh, there were.
There were a lot of accidents
and a lot of deaths.
I've seen 2,500 men
killed in the mines.
Ooh!
You'll notice there's
a lot of ghosts here, so...
Perfect.
That's what we're here for.
Thank you so much.
I appreciate your time.
You're welcome.
Enjoy yourself.
Thank you for everything.
I hope you find
what you're looking for.
Hey, you guys,
be safe down there.
Okay. Thank you.
Thank you.
You never know what can happen.
I just got nervous.
Yeah, me too.
Did anyone else
get freaked out by that?
Oh, my gosh, yes.
It's so dark in here.
Dude, you could easily
get lost in these places.
Oh, totally.
It all looks the same.
100 percent.
I feel, like, really unsafe.
Not gonna lie.
Do you guys want
to shut the lights off
and see what it's really like?
Let's see what it looks like.
This is what pitch dark
looks like.
Alex is the only one
who can see anything
'cause he's got night vision.
That's insane.
I have an idea.
Let's go quiet for a second
and see if we hear anything.
Is there anybody here?
It's a cat!
It's a cat!
What the **** There's a cat!
Whoa!
No way!
That's insane!
Like, what are the odds?
Oh, my gosh!
On command --
"Is there anyone down here?"
"Meow!"
Oh, that was great!
That was gold.
All right.
Let's keep moving.
Oh, my gosh.
So, Tanner,
what does this have to do
with the location
that we're going to?
You know,
there was a bunch of men
that came here to find riches,
and with greed comes aggression.
So, they had to build
the location
that we're gonna go to next.
Let's just say, I think this
would be a great spot
to do the packet read
and find out where we're going.
Let's go a little bit deeper.
All right.
So, in this packet
is our next location.
I can't wait for you guys
to get into this.
Dakota?
Oh, man.
I am so nervous.
You want me to open it?
I want you open it.
Okay.
Old Montana State Prison.
Old Montana State Prison?
Oh, Tanner! A prison!
Yeah.
I hate prisons.
What?
This will be the first prison
I go to since Moundsville.
Yeah, I wanted to do a prison
because I wanted to give you
a second shot.
But this isn't just for you.
This is gonna be a true test
for everybody.
Sitting at the base
of the imposing Mount Powell
lies the bones
of the old Montana State prison.
Originally built in 1871,
the prison housed
both men and women
and had to expand numerous times
over the years to accommodate
Montana's many criminals.
You had to do something
pretty bad to be sent here.
And I think when people
entered this place,
they've probably thought
they might never come out.
In the 1860s, Montana's
population began to soar,
as people came to the area
during the Gold Rush,
in search of jobs,
fortune, and new opportunities.
And because there was
this eclectic population,
and because there was
this frenzy for the Gold Rush,
pretty soon it was necessary
to have a facility
to put people
that broke the law.
Most of the inmates were housed
in the 1912 cellblock,
but women were housed
separately, in a facility
that eventually became
maximum security.
While incarcerated,
they were kept in their cells
24 hours a day
and forced to dress
in proper, nice clothing
to make them more feminine
and act more ladylike.
Really?
The women who did get sent here
were really very unfortunate
because this was a place
built for men.
They couldn't take advantage
of even going out into
the fresh air in the courtyard
because that's where
the men were.
The prison had a long,
violent history
during its 108 years
in operation.
Before maximum security
was built,
inmates who acted out,
were sent to the hole --
solitary confinement
located in the basement
of the 1912 cellblock.
On record, it's got to be close
to about 200 inmates and guards
that have died here
at the prison.
How many pieces of people
still exist on this landscape?
While some believe the spirits
only turn to violence
when they're ignored,
others know that those who were
violent in life
often remain so
in the afterlife.
Hey, on the real,
I usually ignore things
when I get scared on purpose.
I feel like
I can't do that here.
It's not gonna work here.
It doesn't like being ignored.
So, what do I --
I have to engage with it?
You have to at least...
Acknowledge the presence?
...acknowledge it.
The prison is said to be
especially active
with the spirits
of several notorious inmates.
Paul "Turkey Pete" Eitner was
the prison's most famous inmate.
Convicted on a life sentence
for murder in 1918,
he oversaw the prison's
turkeys until 1932.
Turkey Pete died
of natural causes.
He was a murderer, and then
he just kind of lost his mind.
He was eligible for parole,
but he just didn't
have anywhere to go.
And because of his mental state,
they actually felt it's safe
for him to stay here.
After he passed, they held his
funeral in the Clark Theater.
It was the only funeral ever
held inside the prison walls.
And afterwards, his cell,
number 1, was retired.
This is the weirdest --
What the heck?
It gets weirder.
In 1959, a riot broke out
when Jerry Myles and Lee Smart
led 12 other inmates
to try and escape.
They broke into
the deputy warden's office
and shot him point blank.
After 36 hours, the warden took
back control of the prison
with the help
of the National Guard.
They fired a bazooka
at the northwest corner
of the cell house,
causing damage
that can still be seen today
and eventually cornered
Myles and Smart,
where they committed
murder-suicide.
They shot a bazooka at this place?
Seriously.
Like, I found out that fact,
and I was like,
"We have to go to this."
Today, many people report
seeing two male shadow figures
staring outside the windows
of the death tower.
We walked in, and it
wasn't but three seconds
that we were in that building
that we both came flying out,
coughing.
It was just like
all of a sudden,
we were sick to our stomach
and, like, a huge amount
of pressure on our chest.
Holy ****
Yeah, this is
the real deal, guys.
If you are in any kind
of emotional state
or you're vulnerable, it's not
a good place for you to be.
I think if you don't
treat the spirits here
with respect,
they're gonna let you know it,
and maybe not in a way
that you will like.
There's not a safe place
in this building.
The only safe place in this
building is out of it.
If you want to use that device,
Turkey Pete, you can --
Whoa! There it is.
It's going off!
He's here.
Today's the day.
Today is the big day.
It's gonna be a long night
ahead of us.
How are you feeling?
You're in control now.
I don't know.
I just feel uneasy right now,
to be honest.
Like, 'cause I know
that this place
is supposed to be aggressive.
I feel like there's
a responsibility --
if anything happens to you guys,
like, that's on me.
That's my fault.
Like, you're a leader
here tonight.
Like, we need you.
We need you sharp.
You know more about this
location than any of us,
so I wouldn't put too much
pressure on yourself tonight.
All right.
So, where are we
headed right now?
So, we're actually gonna meet up
with a woman
named Heather Gregory.
And she's actually the person
who got stabbed.
I am so curious to hear
her perspective
and what happened to her.
I'm already scared,
and we're about
to go talk to a girl
who just got shanked by a ghost.
Hi.
Hi.
Hey, hey!
Hi, how are you?
Good.
Welcome to Deer Lodge.
All right.
Well, it's nice to meet you,
Heather.
You too. Welcome.
And I've heard you know a ton
about the Montana State Prison.
Is there certain parts
of the prison
that you'd like to tell us about
or warn us about or...?
Maximum security.
Really?
Anything can happen to anybody.
In maximum security,
if the particular female entity
in there
particularly likes one of you,
she'll make it known.
How so?
You'll feel it.
What do you mean?
Caressing.
Like, a lot of the men
have felt that,
where they've pinched
your backside.
Okay.
They want to let you know
that they're here, you know?
And so don't ignore them.
That's one thing you don't do,
is ignore them.
Don't ignore them?
And I'll tell you another story
of I did ignore one.
I was really tired.
All I wanted to do was go home.
And all of a sudden,
one of my crew said,
"Did you hear that?"
And I said,
"Yeah, yeah, whatever."
And I ignored it.
And then as I walked
out of the theater,
I doubled over in pain.
And I'm thinking,
"What is that?"
You know? And I thought, "Oh,
maybe I just banged myself."
And it turned out I got shanked.
It actually felt like somebody
had taken a knife and just...
sliced right across here.
And it bled.
Was it bleeding?
Yeah, it took, actually,
three days to heal.
It's not fun,
being physically attacked.
It's one of the scariest
things you can go through.
You have to remember when you go
inside prisons, okay?
They're inmates.
They were inmates.
They're not gonna obey the rules
when they were alive,
so I doubt they're gonna obey
the rules when they're dead.
It's just the only way they know
how to say, "Hey, I'm here."
She scared me
with everything she said.
It's like, "Oh, gosh,
this is real."
This isn't just some story
on a piece of paper.
Right.
This is all real.
This place is so physical.
It's gonna try.
Something's gonna try
to get into one of us.
So, I think you two
should go up front.
All right.
Let's go up front.
Go check it out.
All right.
I am so nervous.
We're getting close,
aren't we, Tanner?
Keep your eyes peeled.
What are you thinking?
Are you scared?
I'm nervous as all heck.
This one's gonna be brutal,
but they all are.
So many physical things
have happened here.
Like, I just do not want that
to happen to anyone tonight.
I know.
My heart's beating.
I'm freaking out.
Like, I feel like
I'm vulnerable.
And this is not a place to be --
Holy crap!
That's it!
Oh, my gosh!
There it is.
That is huge!
That is so massive.
Four bodies in that huge
building? No way.
All by ourselves?
You guys ready for this?
Let's do it.
Let's get going.
Gosh!
I mean, just look
how tall these walls are, guys.
This is like 20 feet tall,
just this wall.
Dude!
Screw this crap, man!
I'm not ready for this.
Here goes nothing, you guys.
Look at this entrance.
Oh, my God!
Come on!
I know!
All right, so, we just got
to the penitentiary,
we set up a gear room
with all of our gear,
and now we are about
to go walk through
this massive abandoned prison.
Tanner, you want
to lead the way?
Let's do it.
This is our entrance.
Here goes nothing, guys.
Oh, what's down there?
This is the tunnels.
This is where the guards
were able to walk back and forth
without being seen by the
inmates the whole entire time.
If anyone was rowdy, this is
where they'd put their guns
and be able to stop
what's going on.
God!
Oh **** God!
There's a frickin, like,
fake head!
Why do you open doors, Chelsea?!
Curiosity killed the cat,
Chelsea.
All in favor of Chelsea not
being allowed to touch anything?
Aye. Aye.
Aye. Aye.
Chelsea
even says, "Aye."
This is the hole.
This is solitary confinement?
Yeah.
Let me see what this feels like.
I'm gonna shut you in.
Okay.
This is so freakin' creepy
in here, dude.
I don't think I would make it
more than a day in here.
My thoughts alone would drive
myself crazy.
People were sentenced here
for a very long time.
I mean, sometimes
they were punished here
and sentenced down here for,
like, over a couple of weeks.
Obviously, you were put
in here for a reason
and you deserved it,
but this would suck.
I would hate that.
Oh, that'd have been horrible.
Wow.
Holy crap.
Man.
Damn.
I mean, just look how small
these jail cells are.
Yeah, not a lot of room
for one person.
This place gives me the creeps.
Dang, look at this, you guys.
This is the infamous
cellblock 1.
That's Turkey Pete.
They actually retired his cell
because
he was so beloved in here.
What do you guys want to do?
Do you want to go silent
to see if anything here
wants to make itself known?
Sure. Let's do that.
Let's just sit right here
and go quiet
and wait for something
to get our attention.
This is the first prison in
Montana, right? Mm-hmm.
That's crazy to think about,
the first prison in Montana.
Whoa! Whoa!
Let's just sit
right here and go quiet
and wait for something
to get our attention.
This is the first prison in
Montana, right? Mm-hmm.
That's crazy to think about,
the first prison in Montana.
Whoa! Whoa!
Dude, that felt like
the whole building shook.
That was so loud.
That's crazy to think about,
the first prison in Montana.
Whoa! Whoa!
The noise we heard sounded like
it came from Turkey Pete's cell.
You think this is where we
should put the music box? Yeah.
So, right now, I have what's
called the music box in my hand.
This is
a motion-activated device.
If anything comes
in front of this,
it's gonna play an old tune.
So, if there's someone
in this cellblock
who wants to come out
and play some music,
you can come and stand
right in front of this device
and it'll go off like that.
Before we leave,
let's just see if anything wants
to go
and play with the music box.
You can come out of your cell
and play with this device
without having
any repercussions.
If you want to use that device,
Turkey Pete, you can --
Whoa!
There it is!
It's going off!
What the heck?
He's here.
Can you hold on to it,
make it go off a lot longer?
It's trying.
Holy crap.
Tell it to stop.
Can you stop?
It stopped.
What is going on?
Seriously.
That thing is dead silent.
All right.
We're gonna leave right now.
We're gonna keep walking
around the property, the prison.
You can keep playing with
that device while we're gone.
We're gonna leave it here
for you.
Let's do it.
Let's do it.
Here we go.
Dang, right there.
It's the death tower.
See that, right there?
Oh, yeah.
That's the bazooka hit.
You can even see that
the metal frame is blown.
Oh, my gosh!
That's where a bazooka hit.
And they were hiding out
right in there in that room?
Yeah, in '59, two prisoners,
Jerry Myles and Lee Smart,
led a riot to try to escape.
They stole a gun and were
cornered by the National Guard.
They ended up taking
their own lives, too.
Watch your step, guys.
Yeah, these are really
tight corridors here.
Should we just climb to the top?
Yeah, let's go
where the action happened.
So, this is the room
they died in.
That's what I've been told.
Holy crap.
Do you guys want to sit down
and go quiet?
Sure.
So, right now we are sitting
inside of the room
in the death tower
where Myles and Smart died.
I wonder what, like,
their last conversation was
when they were in here
and they knew
they were gonna get caught
by the National Guard.
No one knows the real story.
I have the digital recorder.
I could ask them questions
right now.
You should.
All right.
So, right now, I have
the digital recorder in my hand.
We're gonna ask some questions,
and if there's any sort
of a voice that wasn't ours
when we play it back,
that means we got something.
Myles, Smart?
Are any of you two here
with us right now?
What the ****
My battery just went from 86 --
This just died.
Dude, I'm not kidding.
My battery just went
from 86 minutes
to 54 minutes to 93 minutes.
Do you want me
to record your camera?
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Get over here.
Okay, watch this.
Trying to roll the digital
recorder, and boom --
it doesn't even let me roll.
It just dies.
I just put in a fresh battery
in this, too.
Tanner's gonna need a new
battery real quick here.
Dude, I literally
put in a new battery.
I'm only at 40 minutes now.
Holy crap.
- 39. 38.
- 38.
I put a battery in
at the same time as you, Tanner,
and right now,
I'm at 110 minutes.
I don't understand
what's going on.
13, 18.
13, 18.
What?
What does that mean?
Something is trying to, like,
use the energy from the camera.
5. Change.
I'm dead.
It's dead?
It's dead.
Oh, my gosh!
Okay, that happened
just like that.
You had a new battery.
Same time we all
switched batteries
was when you switch batteries.
Digital recorder -- I switched.
This was the first time
even trying to use it tonight,
so it hadn't even been used yet.
There's no reason
for this to even die.
This is pretty creepy.
Should we keep moving?
Should we get out of here?
Let's do it.
Let's get out of here.
Wow, it feels really good
to be outside after that.
Yeah.
If we can take a left
down this path,
we'll be going into
the maximum security,
as well as where
they'd house the women.
They weren't allowed
to come into the courtyard.
They were stuck in their cells
24 hours a day.
Later on, it turned
into maximum security.
They put the worst
of the worst in there
and the people that couldn't
interact with other people.
Is this it right here?
We have to go past this wall,
and then it'll lead us
into an entirely different
enclosed area.
Okay.
I don't like this.
Hello?
Oh, this is the disciplinary cell.
Yeah.
The disciplinary cell?
What?
It just blows my mind that,
like, people who stole things
and, like, made one bad decision
that wasn't necessarily
hurting anyone
ended up in jail.
Oh, what was that?
What was that?
This is it.
This is maximum security
and the old women's prison.
It just blows my mind,
that, like,
people who stole things
and, like, made one bad decision
that wasn't necessarily
hurting anyone
ended up in jail.
Oh, what was that?
What was that?
That was back in here.
That sounded
like a door opening.
That was loud, too.
Can you do that again?
Hello?
All right, it came
from over in here somewhere.
I wish we would have
seen this room before
to tell if one of these doors
shut or not.
Half of them are open.
Half of them are shut.
Tanner, do you have the Ovilus
in your bag? Yeah, I do.
Here, I'm gonna grab it out.
I'm gonna see if we can get
any sort of a response
to validate maybe who's in here
and what we just experienced.
So, right now, I have
the Ovilus in my hand.
This device has a word database
inside of it.
It's said that spirits
can manipulate frequencies,
so they can manipulate
this device
to choose
whatever word they want.
Is there anybody
in here with us?
You can use this device
to talk to us.
You can give us a message.
Let's keep walking, and if it
wants to say anything, it will.
What? "Still."
It said, "Still."
Like, "Still."
Like, "Stay still."
Okay.
That's creepy.
Right when we started to walk.
Let's stay still, then.
All right,
we are gonna stay still.
We're gonna stand right here.
Do you have
another message for us?
Can you tell us more
about who you are?
We heard that you like
to touch people, men and women.
Can you prove that to us?
Can you show us that
that's what you do?
I don't know
if that was my backpack,
but I got, like, a pinch
on my shoulder.
You got a pinch on your
shoulder? Seriously?
I don't know if it was, like,
my backpack straining on me,
but it was, like, literally
right underneath the strap.
Are you serious?
Yeah, I'm not even joking.
Okay.
It said, "Guy."
It said, "Guy."
Shut up!
Guy.
Just when Tanner thought
he was getting touched
on the shoulder,
it said, "Guy."
What did it feel like?
Like this.
Ohh, it's creepy.
I thought it was my backpack,
but it was, like,
literally right here.
I'm just, like, trying
to keep my cool right now,
but it's, like -- I don't know.
That's not supposed to happen.
Maybe we are just
freaking ourselves out.
That is the story, but we
haven't felt anything all night.
Dude, I'm not really
liking this spot at all.
Something's messing
with you, clearly.
Do you like
our friend here, Tanner?
That's his name, is Tanner.
Can you keep touching him?
Can you do something else,
something more aggressive?
Oh!
Not gonna lie.
My butt just got touched.
It said, "Did"!
It said, "Did"!
It said that it did!
Oh, my God!
My butt got touched,
and it said, "Did."
What are the chances of that?
I freakin felt something
touch my butt
at the same time
as it says "Did."
Like it did. Okay.
Now I know what it feels like
to get touched.
That's what I'm saying.
It's, like, a weird sensation.
It actually feels like
a physical touch.
I was like
it was messing with you,
and it's coming into me now.
It touched my butt --
like, at the top part
of my butt. lower back.
What?
Squeeze!
It just said, "Squeeze"!
It just said, "Squeeze"!
Holy crap!
This is wild.
I mean, honest to God,
this is so intelligent.
We're getting
so many great responses
that match
exactly what's going on
and the stories
that are said to be here.
Thank you for making
yourself known.
Thank you for showing us
both physically
and through this device
that you are here.
We are gonna move on,
we're gonna leave this place,
and one of us
will be back later.
Oh, my gosh, it feels so good
to be out in the fresh air.
Seriously.
All right, Tanner,
where are you taking us next?
Where we going?
So, I purposely saved this one
for last.
We're going to be going into
the theater/the gallows.
Ohh! No!
Is this it right here?
Yeah, this big building.
Ohhh, frick.
Shut up!
Holy crap. That's it.
That's the gallows.
What?
What was that?
Was that talking?
Guys, what's actually happening?
Oh, there are birds
all over the place.
Oh, thank God.
Pigeons. Yeah,
we got a bunch of pigeons in here.
So, it's gonna be hard to, like,
hear anything audible.
This is actually disgusting.
Yeah, this is gross.
Just look on the ground.
That's all it is, is poop.
Yeah, I don't know how
much longer
we should really stay in here.
Yeah, I mean, what sucks
about this is this is where,
like, one of the most
craziest claims was.
Someone got stabbed in here.
But there are hundreds
of pigeons
above our heads right now.
There's feces everywhere,
and it's probably not
the healthiest thing
to be in here.
And I'm more than okay
getting out of here,
because I really don't want
to be in a spot
where someone said
they were stabbed.
You know,
I picked this location,
and it has surpassed
my expectations,
but to be honest with you,
I'm extremely disappointed
that we can't go in there.
I was looking forward
to going in there
and giving that place a shot.
I think it's a smart decision
to think about our health first.
I mean, that wasn't dust
flying around in that room.
That was particles
of bird feces.
All right, everybody,
it's time to go to bed
at my location.
**** Whoa!
I'm coming to you right now.
All right, everybody,
it's time to go to bed
at my location.
This is something that we do
at every single location.
This whole road trip is
about conquering our fears,
overcoming our fears.
And there's no better way
to get scared
and overcome your fear
than being alone
for several hours at a time.
We've all agreed on the four
scariest locations to go sleep.
We have the death tower.
This is where Jerry Myles
and Lee Smart died
during the prison riot
from a murder-suicide.
When we were up there earlier,
Tanner's camera battery drained.
Change.
I'm dead. It's dead?
It's dead.
Digital recorder
battery drained.
This just died.
I just put in a fresh battery
in this, too.
All of this happened
at the same exact time.
For the next sleeping location,
we have the 1912 cell house.
When we were in there earlier,
we got the music box
to go off on command
when we thought we were talking
to Paul or Turkey Pete.
If you want to use that device,
Turkey Pete, you can --
Whoa! There it is.
It's going off!
What the heck?
We also have the hole
down in the basement.
This is where prisoners went
for solitary confinement.
This is where people
have been pushed, shoved.
Someone had their head
thrown up against the wall.
For our fourth
and final sleeping location,
we have
the maximum security building.
Before it was maximum security,
it was the women's prison.
They say that it's haunted
by an unknown female spirit
who likes men being in there.
Tanner was getting touched.
I got touched on the butt.
It's hundreds and hundreds of
feet away from everything else.
Those are our four scariest
locations.
Tanner's gonna write
these out on a piece of paper,
and then we're gonna draw,
and that's where you go sleep
for the rest of the night.
Who do you want to draw first?
How about this? How about
you go first, my friend?
Oh, crap. Okay.
All right, I'm gonna go first.
All right. Here I go.
No!
What'd you get?
What'd you get?
I got the maximum security. Yes!
I got my frickin' butt
pinched in there.
Whatever is hunting inside
of that maximum security prison
is gonna be very happy
that I just drew that.
Who wants to go next?
I don't ever want to go,
but I'll go.
**** crap!
What'd you get?
What'd you get?
I got death tower.
Oh, no!
I'm sleeping in a place
that got shot by a bazooka.
Alex, you're up.
Whatever Alex gets
is what he gets,
and whatever he doesn't get
is what Tanner gets.
I got the hole.
You got the hole.
Ohh!
Okay, people
get attacked down there.
There's no light.
There's no window.
That means Tanner got
the 1912 cell house.
This is where a lot of reported
paranormal activity happens.
This is a very big, big room,
and I'm gonna be all by myself.
All right, now it's time
to bundle up and go sleep alone.
Oh, gosh.
****
I'm currently sleeping where
a murder-suicide happened.
Good night, Chelsea.
Oh, my gosh.
I cannot believe I drew
this sleeping arrangement.
This is honestly the one
I did not want to draw.
This is frightening, for sure.
Well, I just got
into my sleeping arrangement.
All right, man, good luck.
Okay, you too, guys.
This is where a lot of people
have seen shadow figures,
heard screaming, loud bangs.
I'm really nervous
to be here by myself.
Okay, well,
I'm down in the hole.
Good luck, man.
This is a creepy spot.
I'm really nervous
to be down here.
Prisons scare the hell
out of me.
The people that were locked up
in here
are definitely still here today.
Right now, I'm in
the maximum security building.
I am the farthest person away
from anyone else.
Whoever the female is
that is haunting this building
is probably
a little happy right now
that it's me who's back,
because she decided to show me
some affection earlier.
So, I really hope
I have a smooth night
and that whoever is here
can just go easy on me.
I'm gonna check in on Dakota,
see how he's doing.
Hey, Dakota?
Go for Dakota.
How you doing, dude?
Just checking in on you.
It's going good over here
so far -- nothing crazy yet.
Nothing to report on.
All right,
then I'll leave you alone.
I'll jump back onto my line.
Good luck, man, and stay safe.
Oh, that's good.
I'm nervous
about Dakota being in there.
I mean, the last time
we were at a prison,
he got scratched
and physically hurt,
and he got the location
where that can happen.
Right now, I'm going to whip
out the Ovilus.
Earlier when we were in here,
were getting very intelligent
responses on the Ovilus.
Whatever is in here
knows how to use this.
It was using this earlier.
Oh, my gosh.
Nope, nope, nope, nope, nope.
It just said, "Lay."
It just said, "Lay."
She's seen me. She's watching me
lay down right now.
I know it.
I can feel it.
Is there anything else
you want to tell me?
Do you like that I'm in here.
Do you like me?
If you could do anything
to me right now,
what would you do?
Kiss! Oh, my gosh.
It just said, "Kiss"!
Holy crap! It just said, "Kiss"!
It just said, "Kiss"!
No way. No way.
I have never been
in a situation like this.
Usually, it's the exact
opposite,
where whatever
it is haunting these places
doesn't want me in the room.
She wants me in here.
She wants to kiss me.
Well, you can.
You can kiss me.
I don't know if I can kiss you,
'cause I don't know where you
are, but you can come kiss me.
'Cause you're, like,
the first girl
I've talked to in a long time.
I'm nervous.
I want to know more about you.
Can you tell me your name?
At the very least, can you tell
me why you're in prison?
I was gonna turn the Ovilus off.
She's not telling me anything
about herself,
what her name is,
why she's here.
I am just so perplexed
right now.
I don't know what
the hell just happens.
Alex for Chelsea.
Holy ****
Yeah, what's up?
Hey, I'm just
checking in on you.
How are you doing?
It's pretty quiet in here,
actually.
So far, so good.
All right, I'm gonna go
back to my channel now,
but good luck, and walkie me
if you need anything.
Oh, man.
Whoa!
****
What the **** was that?
Dude!
Whoa!
****
What the **** was that?
Dude!
Al?
Yeah, yo.
Did you hear that?
Dude, I'm coming to you
right now.
Yeah, okay.
Come down here.
What the **** was that?
Dude, it sounded like
it came from right up here.
What the **** do you think
it could have been?
I'm looking around,
and I don't see anything
that would have made that noise.
Was it a jail cell?
There's nothing over here
that would have made that noise.
I literally have no idea
what that was.
I can't tell where that came
from or what that was,
but it was loud enough
to get us both
out of our sleeping situations.
I mean, you heard it
from in the hole,
and I heard it all the way down
in the 1912 cellblock.
Let's just go back to our rooms
and just --
I don't know --
wait out the night.
I'm gonna pull up
the digital recorder
and see if I can
get any answers.
So, I brought
the digital recorder with me.
Did one of you inmates
make that loud bang?
Do you have anything to say?
Do you not want us to be here?
...on the digital recorder?
I don't know if I'm
gonna get anything
on the digital recorder in here.
I don't think these people want
to talk to me, for some reason.
Maybe they feel it's like
it's snitching or -- what?
I have no idea.
But they're just not talking.
It's past 7:00
in the morning now.
The sun is about
to start coming up.
I think it's just time for us
to get out of here.
Oh, my gosh!
Let's get the hell
out of here, huh?
Seriously.
I consider myself
the protector of the group.
But being the one
who picks this location
and being the one
who brings on the terror,
I was just so worried
about my friends.
The fact that we got
through this one unscathed
is just the biggest weight
off my shoulders.
Tanner picked
this location to challenge me,
to confront my fears
of violent entities.
But I'm glad he did because
I feel like I overcame something
that I didn't even know
I needed to overcome.
We're getting a lot better
at facing our fear,
chasing the fear.
A year ago, we probably would've
ran and never came back.
Sometimes, I feel like
Dakota puts himself in positions
that are risky for him.
Like, then I feel like my job
as his sister is to make sure
that he's not doing anything
to put himself in harm's way.
You know,
there's no greater fear
than worrying
about my younger brother.
Dakota's tolerance for fear
has definitely gone up a lot.
And now that
he's conquered that,
he's going to try to take it
to the next level.
Oh, my God, the RV!
Let's get out of here.
I am back in the driver's seat.
The rest of the road trip
is up to me.
And it's not gonna be good.
Let's enjoy this long road trip
because we do have a very long
drive ahead of us again.
We're gonna need every ounce
of strength and energy
that we have.
Big Sky Country, Montana.
This time around,
I'm the one in control.
Oh, Tanner! A prison!
Yeah.
I hate prisons.
You had to do something
pretty bad to be sent here.
I got shanked.
It actually felt like somebody
had taken a knife and just...
It's got to be close
to about 200 inmates
and guards that have died here
at the prison.
How many pieces of people
still exist on this landscape?
Now it's time to go sleep alone.
Whoa!
****
What the **** was that?
My name is Dakota Laden.
I am a documentary filmmaker.
For the past few years,
I've been investigating
the paranormal with Zak Bagans
and the "Ghost Adventures" crew.
Dakota Laden.
Welcome, buddy.
I grew up in a house
where paranormal activity
terrorized my entire family.
It has gripped my sister,
my childhood best friend,
and me ever since.
So, I had an idea --
a psychological experiment...
Aah!
...where I would test how terror
affects the human mind,
what it reveals about
our true selves,
and just how much of it
a person can withstand.
To understand the paranormal,
first we need to overcome
our fear.
I'm leading us on a road trip
to explore
the most haunted abandoned
locations in all of America.
Each night, we'll separate
and sleep alone.
The catch is, I'm the only one
who knows where we're going.
Welcome
to Big Sky Country, Montana.
Normally, Dakota is the one
who plans the whole trip.
But this time around,
I'm the one in control.
We've decided that each of us
gets a chance
to pick a haunted location.
So, I'm the only one who knows
where we're going this time.
The team right now is
hanging out a hot springs spa.
I think it's gonna be
their one chance of happiness
right before
we go to this location.
Tanner's talking
about some whatever --
the location we're going to.
Well, we don't care right now.
'Cause we're about
to have some fun!
Whoo! Oh, yeah, baby!
Ohhh!
Oh, my God!
I'm a flying dolphin!
Aaah!
I can hear the guys
back there having a blast,
but I don't think
that they're ready,
'cause they're gonna be
screaming
even more once
they see the location.
Last time, Chelsea picked
a hospital in Texas,
and this time, I picked
an extremely secluded
abandoned prison
in the middle of Montana.
In operation for 108 years,
the facility had hundreds
of recorded violent deaths,
including botched executions,
accidental fatalities,
murders, and suicides.
This prison has incredibly
violent spirits,
known to choke, possess,
push, and even shake visitors.
I ultimately selected
this location because of Dakota.
Last time we went to a prison,
Dakota was physically attacked
by a spirit of an inmate.
Go! Get up!
Get up! Get up!
My back was, like, burning.
****
Are you kidding me?
Are you serious?
Yes.
Okay, I'm -- no.
We got to go.
I'm getting out of here.
I am nervous
for every single one of us.
But the main goal
is I want Dakota to be able
to face his fears of violent
spirits head-on this time.
Okay, I don't know
if I can jump that far.
I can! I can!
Oh, my gosh!
He's so athletic!
I think you guys are gonna be
thoroughly impressed
about how messed up
this location is.
I just want to yell it out,
because I just can't hold it in.
Can we get a frickin' hint
already about where we're going?
Geez, all right.
I can give you guys
a couple of teases.
So, there's been a report
that someone's been stabbed
by a spirit here.
What?
Stabbed?
How?
Like, physically been stabbed.
What the hell? No.
Yeah.
Does it make sense with the
location that we're going to?
100 percent.
200 people have died
on this property.
I haven't even seen 200 people
while I've been here.
Like, I've seen more cows
than people, honestly.
True.
There was a certain point
in time over 100 years ago
where there was
a huge population burst.
And that actually alludes to
where we're going to right now.
Right now?
Right now.
So, I know that Montana is known
as Big Sky Country.
But it's actually
what's underground
that put this city on the map.
What are we talking about here?
We are gonna go underground
into a mine. Ohh!
I've never been.
Me neither.
Is there, like, a reason
why you picked a mine?
So, because of the population
boom here,
it really brought about the
reason for the next location
that we're going to
tomorrow night.
It's gonna be really cool.
We're going deep underground.
Oh, my gosh.
That's scary.
I don't know why.
That scared me, too.
Well, it's time
to get down and dirty.
All right!
You guys ready for this?
Let's do it.
Oh, black cat.
Oh, you see a black cat.
Black cat.
That's not a good sign.
That's not a good sign.
Well, looks cute, though.
Hi, guys. How's it going, Larry?
Tanner.
Welcome to Butte.
Thank you.
Excited to be here.
Can you tell us a little bit
about the history here?
Butte was the biggest
mining camp
in the United States
at one time.
We produced
a third of the copper
used in the United States.
That's incredible.
There were 17,000 men
just working underground.
Wow.
One of our local residents here
calls Butte a damn big deal.
Makes a lot of sense.
You guys will see
when you go underground.
By all means, turn off
all your electronic equipment
and your lights one time,
'cause you've never seen
darkness like underground.
It's a completely -- it comes in
and just envelops you.
So, I'm assuming, with hard
working conditions like this
and so many people,
there must have been a lot
of deaths down in the mines.
Oh, there were.
There were a lot of accidents
and a lot of deaths.
I've seen 2,500 men
killed in the mines.
Ooh!
You'll notice there's
a lot of ghosts here, so...
Perfect.
That's what we're here for.
Thank you so much.
I appreciate your time.
You're welcome.
Enjoy yourself.
Thank you for everything.
I hope you find
what you're looking for.
Hey, you guys,
be safe down there.
Okay. Thank you.
Thank you.
You never know what can happen.
I just got nervous.
Yeah, me too.
Did anyone else
get freaked out by that?
Oh, my gosh, yes.
It's so dark in here.
Dude, you could easily
get lost in these places.
Oh, totally.
It all looks the same.
100 percent.
I feel, like, really unsafe.
Not gonna lie.
Do you guys want
to shut the lights off
and see what it's really like?
Let's see what it looks like.
This is what pitch dark
looks like.
Alex is the only one
who can see anything
'cause he's got night vision.
That's insane.
I have an idea.
Let's go quiet for a second
and see if we hear anything.
Is there anybody here?
It's a cat!
It's a cat!
What the **** There's a cat!
Whoa!
No way!
That's insane!
Like, what are the odds?
Oh, my gosh!
On command --
"Is there anyone down here?"
"Meow!"
Oh, that was great!
That was gold.
All right.
Let's keep moving.
Oh, my gosh.
So, Tanner,
what does this have to do
with the location
that we're going to?
You know,
there was a bunch of men
that came here to find riches,
and with greed comes aggression.
So, they had to build
the location
that we're gonna go to next.
Let's just say, I think this
would be a great spot
to do the packet read
and find out where we're going.
Let's go a little bit deeper.
All right.
So, in this packet
is our next location.
I can't wait for you guys
to get into this.
Dakota?
Oh, man.
I am so nervous.
You want me to open it?
I want you open it.
Okay.
Old Montana State Prison.
Old Montana State Prison?
Oh, Tanner! A prison!
Yeah.
I hate prisons.
What?
This will be the first prison
I go to since Moundsville.
Yeah, I wanted to do a prison
because I wanted to give you
a second shot.
But this isn't just for you.
This is gonna be a true test
for everybody.
Sitting at the base
of the imposing Mount Powell
lies the bones
of the old Montana State prison.
Originally built in 1871,
the prison housed
both men and women
and had to expand numerous times
over the years to accommodate
Montana's many criminals.
You had to do something
pretty bad to be sent here.
And I think when people
entered this place,
they've probably thought
they might never come out.
In the 1860s, Montana's
population began to soar,
as people came to the area
during the Gold Rush,
in search of jobs,
fortune, and new opportunities.
And because there was
this eclectic population,
and because there was
this frenzy for the Gold Rush,
pretty soon it was necessary
to have a facility
to put people
that broke the law.
Most of the inmates were housed
in the 1912 cellblock,
but women were housed
separately, in a facility
that eventually became
maximum security.
While incarcerated,
they were kept in their cells
24 hours a day
and forced to dress
in proper, nice clothing
to make them more feminine
and act more ladylike.
Really?
The women who did get sent here
were really very unfortunate
because this was a place
built for men.
They couldn't take advantage
of even going out into
the fresh air in the courtyard
because that's where
the men were.
The prison had a long,
violent history
during its 108 years
in operation.
Before maximum security
was built,
inmates who acted out,
were sent to the hole --
solitary confinement
located in the basement
of the 1912 cellblock.
On record, it's got to be close
to about 200 inmates and guards
that have died here
at the prison.
How many pieces of people
still exist on this landscape?
While some believe the spirits
only turn to violence
when they're ignored,
others know that those who were
violent in life
often remain so
in the afterlife.
Hey, on the real,
I usually ignore things
when I get scared on purpose.
I feel like
I can't do that here.
It's not gonna work here.
It doesn't like being ignored.
So, what do I --
I have to engage with it?
You have to at least...
Acknowledge the presence?
...acknowledge it.
The prison is said to be
especially active
with the spirits
of several notorious inmates.
Paul "Turkey Pete" Eitner was
the prison's most famous inmate.
Convicted on a life sentence
for murder in 1918,
he oversaw the prison's
turkeys until 1932.
Turkey Pete died
of natural causes.
He was a murderer, and then
he just kind of lost his mind.
He was eligible for parole,
but he just didn't
have anywhere to go.
And because of his mental state,
they actually felt it's safe
for him to stay here.
After he passed, they held his
funeral in the Clark Theater.
It was the only funeral ever
held inside the prison walls.
And afterwards, his cell,
number 1, was retired.
This is the weirdest --
What the heck?
It gets weirder.
In 1959, a riot broke out
when Jerry Myles and Lee Smart
led 12 other inmates
to try and escape.
They broke into
the deputy warden's office
and shot him point blank.
After 36 hours, the warden took
back control of the prison
with the help
of the National Guard.
They fired a bazooka
at the northwest corner
of the cell house,
causing damage
that can still be seen today
and eventually cornered
Myles and Smart,
where they committed
murder-suicide.
They shot a bazooka at this place?
Seriously.
Like, I found out that fact,
and I was like,
"We have to go to this."
Today, many people report
seeing two male shadow figures
staring outside the windows
of the death tower.
We walked in, and it
wasn't but three seconds
that we were in that building
that we both came flying out,
coughing.
It was just like
all of a sudden,
we were sick to our stomach
and, like, a huge amount
of pressure on our chest.
Holy ****
Yeah, this is
the real deal, guys.
If you are in any kind
of emotional state
or you're vulnerable, it's not
a good place for you to be.
I think if you don't
treat the spirits here
with respect,
they're gonna let you know it,
and maybe not in a way
that you will like.
There's not a safe place
in this building.
The only safe place in this
building is out of it.
If you want to use that device,
Turkey Pete, you can --
Whoa! There it is.
It's going off!
He's here.
Today's the day.
Today is the big day.
It's gonna be a long night
ahead of us.
How are you feeling?
You're in control now.
I don't know.
I just feel uneasy right now,
to be honest.
Like, 'cause I know
that this place
is supposed to be aggressive.
I feel like there's
a responsibility --
if anything happens to you guys,
like, that's on me.
That's my fault.
Like, you're a leader
here tonight.
Like, we need you.
We need you sharp.
You know more about this
location than any of us,
so I wouldn't put too much
pressure on yourself tonight.
All right.
So, where are we
headed right now?
So, we're actually gonna meet up
with a woman
named Heather Gregory.
And she's actually the person
who got stabbed.
I am so curious to hear
her perspective
and what happened to her.
I'm already scared,
and we're about
to go talk to a girl
who just got shanked by a ghost.
Hi.
Hi.
Hey, hey!
Hi, how are you?
Good.
Welcome to Deer Lodge.
All right.
Well, it's nice to meet you,
Heather.
You too. Welcome.
And I've heard you know a ton
about the Montana State Prison.
Is there certain parts
of the prison
that you'd like to tell us about
or warn us about or...?
Maximum security.
Really?
Anything can happen to anybody.
In maximum security,
if the particular female entity
in there
particularly likes one of you,
she'll make it known.
How so?
You'll feel it.
What do you mean?
Caressing.
Like, a lot of the men
have felt that,
where they've pinched
your backside.
Okay.
They want to let you know
that they're here, you know?
And so don't ignore them.
That's one thing you don't do,
is ignore them.
Don't ignore them?
And I'll tell you another story
of I did ignore one.
I was really tired.
All I wanted to do was go home.
And all of a sudden,
one of my crew said,
"Did you hear that?"
And I said,
"Yeah, yeah, whatever."
And I ignored it.
And then as I walked
out of the theater,
I doubled over in pain.
And I'm thinking,
"What is that?"
You know? And I thought, "Oh,
maybe I just banged myself."
And it turned out I got shanked.
It actually felt like somebody
had taken a knife and just...
sliced right across here.
And it bled.
Was it bleeding?
Yeah, it took, actually,
three days to heal.
It's not fun,
being physically attacked.
It's one of the scariest
things you can go through.
You have to remember when you go
inside prisons, okay?
They're inmates.
They were inmates.
They're not gonna obey the rules
when they were alive,
so I doubt they're gonna obey
the rules when they're dead.
It's just the only way they know
how to say, "Hey, I'm here."
She scared me
with everything she said.
It's like, "Oh, gosh,
this is real."
This isn't just some story
on a piece of paper.
Right.
This is all real.
This place is so physical.
It's gonna try.
Something's gonna try
to get into one of us.
So, I think you two
should go up front.
All right.
Let's go up front.
Go check it out.
All right.
I am so nervous.
We're getting close,
aren't we, Tanner?
Keep your eyes peeled.
What are you thinking?
Are you scared?
I'm nervous as all heck.
This one's gonna be brutal,
but they all are.
So many physical things
have happened here.
Like, I just do not want that
to happen to anyone tonight.
I know.
My heart's beating.
I'm freaking out.
Like, I feel like
I'm vulnerable.
And this is not a place to be --
Holy crap!
That's it!
Oh, my gosh!
There it is.
That is huge!
That is so massive.
Four bodies in that huge
building? No way.
All by ourselves?
You guys ready for this?
Let's do it.
Let's get going.
Gosh!
I mean, just look
how tall these walls are, guys.
This is like 20 feet tall,
just this wall.
Dude!
Screw this crap, man!
I'm not ready for this.
Here goes nothing, you guys.
Look at this entrance.
Oh, my God!
Come on!
I know!
All right, so, we just got
to the penitentiary,
we set up a gear room
with all of our gear,
and now we are about
to go walk through
this massive abandoned prison.
Tanner, you want
to lead the way?
Let's do it.
This is our entrance.
Here goes nothing, guys.
Oh, what's down there?
This is the tunnels.
This is where the guards
were able to walk back and forth
without being seen by the
inmates the whole entire time.
If anyone was rowdy, this is
where they'd put their guns
and be able to stop
what's going on.
God!
Oh **** God!
There's a frickin, like,
fake head!
Why do you open doors, Chelsea?!
Curiosity killed the cat,
Chelsea.
All in favor of Chelsea not
being allowed to touch anything?
Aye. Aye.
Aye. Aye.
Chelsea
even says, "Aye."
This is the hole.
This is solitary confinement?
Yeah.
Let me see what this feels like.
I'm gonna shut you in.
Okay.
This is so freakin' creepy
in here, dude.
I don't think I would make it
more than a day in here.
My thoughts alone would drive
myself crazy.
People were sentenced here
for a very long time.
I mean, sometimes
they were punished here
and sentenced down here for,
like, over a couple of weeks.
Obviously, you were put
in here for a reason
and you deserved it,
but this would suck.
I would hate that.
Oh, that'd have been horrible.
Wow.
Holy crap.
Man.
Damn.
I mean, just look how small
these jail cells are.
Yeah, not a lot of room
for one person.
This place gives me the creeps.
Dang, look at this, you guys.
This is the infamous
cellblock 1.
That's Turkey Pete.
They actually retired his cell
because
he was so beloved in here.
What do you guys want to do?
Do you want to go silent
to see if anything here
wants to make itself known?
Sure. Let's do that.
Let's just sit right here
and go quiet
and wait for something
to get our attention.
This is the first prison in
Montana, right? Mm-hmm.
That's crazy to think about,
the first prison in Montana.
Whoa! Whoa!
Let's just sit
right here and go quiet
and wait for something
to get our attention.
This is the first prison in
Montana, right? Mm-hmm.
That's crazy to think about,
the first prison in Montana.
Whoa! Whoa!
Dude, that felt like
the whole building shook.
That was so loud.
That's crazy to think about,
the first prison in Montana.
Whoa! Whoa!
The noise we heard sounded like
it came from Turkey Pete's cell.
You think this is where we
should put the music box? Yeah.
So, right now, I have what's
called the music box in my hand.
This is
a motion-activated device.
If anything comes
in front of this,
it's gonna play an old tune.
So, if there's someone
in this cellblock
who wants to come out
and play some music,
you can come and stand
right in front of this device
and it'll go off like that.
Before we leave,
let's just see if anything wants
to go
and play with the music box.
You can come out of your cell
and play with this device
without having
any repercussions.
If you want to use that device,
Turkey Pete, you can --
Whoa!
There it is!
It's going off!
What the heck?
He's here.
Can you hold on to it,
make it go off a lot longer?
It's trying.
Holy crap.
Tell it to stop.
Can you stop?
It stopped.
What is going on?
Seriously.
That thing is dead silent.
All right.
We're gonna leave right now.
We're gonna keep walking
around the property, the prison.
You can keep playing with
that device while we're gone.
We're gonna leave it here
for you.
Let's do it.
Let's do it.
Here we go.
Dang, right there.
It's the death tower.
See that, right there?
Oh, yeah.
That's the bazooka hit.
You can even see that
the metal frame is blown.
Oh, my gosh!
That's where a bazooka hit.
And they were hiding out
right in there in that room?
Yeah, in '59, two prisoners,
Jerry Myles and Lee Smart,
led a riot to try to escape.
They stole a gun and were
cornered by the National Guard.
They ended up taking
their own lives, too.
Watch your step, guys.
Yeah, these are really
tight corridors here.
Should we just climb to the top?
Yeah, let's go
where the action happened.
So, this is the room
they died in.
That's what I've been told.
Holy crap.
Do you guys want to sit down
and go quiet?
Sure.
So, right now we are sitting
inside of the room
in the death tower
where Myles and Smart died.
I wonder what, like,
their last conversation was
when they were in here
and they knew
they were gonna get caught
by the National Guard.
No one knows the real story.
I have the digital recorder.
I could ask them questions
right now.
You should.
All right.
So, right now, I have
the digital recorder in my hand.
We're gonna ask some questions,
and if there's any sort
of a voice that wasn't ours
when we play it back,
that means we got something.
Myles, Smart?
Are any of you two here
with us right now?
What the ****
My battery just went from 86 --
This just died.
Dude, I'm not kidding.
My battery just went
from 86 minutes
to 54 minutes to 93 minutes.
Do you want me
to record your camera?
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Get over here.
Okay, watch this.
Trying to roll the digital
recorder, and boom --
it doesn't even let me roll.
It just dies.
I just put in a fresh battery
in this, too.
Tanner's gonna need a new
battery real quick here.
Dude, I literally
put in a new battery.
I'm only at 40 minutes now.
Holy crap.
- 39. 38.
- 38.
I put a battery in
at the same time as you, Tanner,
and right now,
I'm at 110 minutes.
I don't understand
what's going on.
13, 18.
13, 18.
What?
What does that mean?
Something is trying to, like,
use the energy from the camera.
5. Change.
I'm dead.
It's dead?
It's dead.
Oh, my gosh!
Okay, that happened
just like that.
You had a new battery.
Same time we all
switched batteries
was when you switch batteries.
Digital recorder -- I switched.
This was the first time
even trying to use it tonight,
so it hadn't even been used yet.
There's no reason
for this to even die.
This is pretty creepy.
Should we keep moving?
Should we get out of here?
Let's do it.
Let's get out of here.
Wow, it feels really good
to be outside after that.
Yeah.
If we can take a left
down this path,
we'll be going into
the maximum security,
as well as where
they'd house the women.
They weren't allowed
to come into the courtyard.
They were stuck in their cells
24 hours a day.
Later on, it turned
into maximum security.
They put the worst
of the worst in there
and the people that couldn't
interact with other people.
Is this it right here?
We have to go past this wall,
and then it'll lead us
into an entirely different
enclosed area.
Okay.
I don't like this.
Hello?
Oh, this is the disciplinary cell.
Yeah.
The disciplinary cell?
What?
It just blows my mind that,
like, people who stole things
and, like, made one bad decision
that wasn't necessarily
hurting anyone
ended up in jail.
Oh, what was that?
What was that?
This is it.
This is maximum security
and the old women's prison.
It just blows my mind,
that, like,
people who stole things
and, like, made one bad decision
that wasn't necessarily
hurting anyone
ended up in jail.
Oh, what was that?
What was that?
That was back in here.
That sounded
like a door opening.
That was loud, too.
Can you do that again?
Hello?
All right, it came
from over in here somewhere.
I wish we would have
seen this room before
to tell if one of these doors
shut or not.
Half of them are open.
Half of them are shut.
Tanner, do you have the Ovilus
in your bag? Yeah, I do.
Here, I'm gonna grab it out.
I'm gonna see if we can get
any sort of a response
to validate maybe who's in here
and what we just experienced.
So, right now, I have
the Ovilus in my hand.
This device has a word database
inside of it.
It's said that spirits
can manipulate frequencies,
so they can manipulate
this device
to choose
whatever word they want.
Is there anybody
in here with us?
You can use this device
to talk to us.
You can give us a message.
Let's keep walking, and if it
wants to say anything, it will.
What? "Still."
It said, "Still."
Like, "Still."
Like, "Stay still."
Okay.
That's creepy.
Right when we started to walk.
Let's stay still, then.
All right,
we are gonna stay still.
We're gonna stand right here.
Do you have
another message for us?
Can you tell us more
about who you are?
We heard that you like
to touch people, men and women.
Can you prove that to us?
Can you show us that
that's what you do?
I don't know
if that was my backpack,
but I got, like, a pinch
on my shoulder.
You got a pinch on your
shoulder? Seriously?
I don't know if it was, like,
my backpack straining on me,
but it was, like, literally
right underneath the strap.
Are you serious?
Yeah, I'm not even joking.
Okay.
It said, "Guy."
It said, "Guy."
Shut up!
Guy.
Just when Tanner thought
he was getting touched
on the shoulder,
it said, "Guy."
What did it feel like?
Like this.
Ohh, it's creepy.
I thought it was my backpack,
but it was, like,
literally right here.
I'm just, like, trying
to keep my cool right now,
but it's, like -- I don't know.
That's not supposed to happen.
Maybe we are just
freaking ourselves out.
That is the story, but we
haven't felt anything all night.
Dude, I'm not really
liking this spot at all.
Something's messing
with you, clearly.
Do you like
our friend here, Tanner?
That's his name, is Tanner.
Can you keep touching him?
Can you do something else,
something more aggressive?
Oh!
Not gonna lie.
My butt just got touched.
It said, "Did"!
It said, "Did"!
It said that it did!
Oh, my God!
My butt got touched,
and it said, "Did."
What are the chances of that?
I freakin felt something
touch my butt
at the same time
as it says "Did."
Like it did. Okay.
Now I know what it feels like
to get touched.
That's what I'm saying.
It's, like, a weird sensation.
It actually feels like
a physical touch.
I was like
it was messing with you,
and it's coming into me now.
It touched my butt --
like, at the top part
of my butt. lower back.
What?
Squeeze!
It just said, "Squeeze"!
It just said, "Squeeze"!
Holy crap!
This is wild.
I mean, honest to God,
this is so intelligent.
We're getting
so many great responses
that match
exactly what's going on
and the stories
that are said to be here.
Thank you for making
yourself known.
Thank you for showing us
both physically
and through this device
that you are here.
We are gonna move on,
we're gonna leave this place,
and one of us
will be back later.
Oh, my gosh, it feels so good
to be out in the fresh air.
Seriously.
All right, Tanner,
where are you taking us next?
Where we going?
So, I purposely saved this one
for last.
We're going to be going into
the theater/the gallows.
Ohh! No!
Is this it right here?
Yeah, this big building.
Ohhh, frick.
Shut up!
Holy crap. That's it.
That's the gallows.
What?
What was that?
Was that talking?
Guys, what's actually happening?
Oh, there are birds
all over the place.
Oh, thank God.
Pigeons. Yeah,
we got a bunch of pigeons in here.
So, it's gonna be hard to, like,
hear anything audible.
This is actually disgusting.
Yeah, this is gross.
Just look on the ground.
That's all it is, is poop.
Yeah, I don't know how
much longer
we should really stay in here.
Yeah, I mean, what sucks
about this is this is where,
like, one of the most
craziest claims was.
Someone got stabbed in here.
But there are hundreds
of pigeons
above our heads right now.
There's feces everywhere,
and it's probably not
the healthiest thing
to be in here.
And I'm more than okay
getting out of here,
because I really don't want
to be in a spot
where someone said
they were stabbed.
You know,
I picked this location,
and it has surpassed
my expectations,
but to be honest with you,
I'm extremely disappointed
that we can't go in there.
I was looking forward
to going in there
and giving that place a shot.
I think it's a smart decision
to think about our health first.
I mean, that wasn't dust
flying around in that room.
That was particles
of bird feces.
All right, everybody,
it's time to go to bed
at my location.
**** Whoa!
I'm coming to you right now.
All right, everybody,
it's time to go to bed
at my location.
This is something that we do
at every single location.
This whole road trip is
about conquering our fears,
overcoming our fears.
And there's no better way
to get scared
and overcome your fear
than being alone
for several hours at a time.
We've all agreed on the four
scariest locations to go sleep.
We have the death tower.
This is where Jerry Myles
and Lee Smart died
during the prison riot
from a murder-suicide.
When we were up there earlier,
Tanner's camera battery drained.
Change.
I'm dead. It's dead?
It's dead.
Digital recorder
battery drained.
This just died.
I just put in a fresh battery
in this, too.
All of this happened
at the same exact time.
For the next sleeping location,
we have the 1912 cell house.
When we were in there earlier,
we got the music box
to go off on command
when we thought we were talking
to Paul or Turkey Pete.
If you want to use that device,
Turkey Pete, you can --
Whoa! There it is.
It's going off!
What the heck?
We also have the hole
down in the basement.
This is where prisoners went
for solitary confinement.
This is where people
have been pushed, shoved.
Someone had their head
thrown up against the wall.
For our fourth
and final sleeping location,
we have
the maximum security building.
Before it was maximum security,
it was the women's prison.
They say that it's haunted
by an unknown female spirit
who likes men being in there.
Tanner was getting touched.
I got touched on the butt.
It's hundreds and hundreds of
feet away from everything else.
Those are our four scariest
locations.
Tanner's gonna write
these out on a piece of paper,
and then we're gonna draw,
and that's where you go sleep
for the rest of the night.
Who do you want to draw first?
How about this? How about
you go first, my friend?
Oh, crap. Okay.
All right, I'm gonna go first.
All right. Here I go.
No!
What'd you get?
What'd you get?
I got the maximum security. Yes!
I got my frickin' butt
pinched in there.
Whatever is hunting inside
of that maximum security prison
is gonna be very happy
that I just drew that.
Who wants to go next?
I don't ever want to go,
but I'll go.
**** crap!
What'd you get?
What'd you get?
I got death tower.
Oh, no!
I'm sleeping in a place
that got shot by a bazooka.
Alex, you're up.
Whatever Alex gets
is what he gets,
and whatever he doesn't get
is what Tanner gets.
I got the hole.
You got the hole.
Ohh!
Okay, people
get attacked down there.
There's no light.
There's no window.
That means Tanner got
the 1912 cell house.
This is where a lot of reported
paranormal activity happens.
This is a very big, big room,
and I'm gonna be all by myself.
All right, now it's time
to bundle up and go sleep alone.
Oh, gosh.
****
I'm currently sleeping where
a murder-suicide happened.
Good night, Chelsea.
Oh, my gosh.
I cannot believe I drew
this sleeping arrangement.
This is honestly the one
I did not want to draw.
This is frightening, for sure.
Well, I just got
into my sleeping arrangement.
All right, man, good luck.
Okay, you too, guys.
This is where a lot of people
have seen shadow figures,
heard screaming, loud bangs.
I'm really nervous
to be here by myself.
Okay, well,
I'm down in the hole.
Good luck, man.
This is a creepy spot.
I'm really nervous
to be down here.
Prisons scare the hell
out of me.
The people that were locked up
in here
are definitely still here today.
Right now, I'm in
the maximum security building.
I am the farthest person away
from anyone else.
Whoever the female is
that is haunting this building
is probably
a little happy right now
that it's me who's back,
because she decided to show me
some affection earlier.
So, I really hope
I have a smooth night
and that whoever is here
can just go easy on me.
I'm gonna check in on Dakota,
see how he's doing.
Hey, Dakota?
Go for Dakota.
How you doing, dude?
Just checking in on you.
It's going good over here
so far -- nothing crazy yet.
Nothing to report on.
All right,
then I'll leave you alone.
I'll jump back onto my line.
Good luck, man, and stay safe.
Oh, that's good.
I'm nervous
about Dakota being in there.
I mean, the last time
we were at a prison,
he got scratched
and physically hurt,
and he got the location
where that can happen.
Right now, I'm going to whip
out the Ovilus.
Earlier when we were in here,
were getting very intelligent
responses on the Ovilus.
Whatever is in here
knows how to use this.
It was using this earlier.
Oh, my gosh.
Nope, nope, nope, nope, nope.
It just said, "Lay."
It just said, "Lay."
She's seen me. She's watching me
lay down right now.
I know it.
I can feel it.
Is there anything else
you want to tell me?
Do you like that I'm in here.
Do you like me?
If you could do anything
to me right now,
what would you do?
Kiss! Oh, my gosh.
It just said, "Kiss"!
Holy crap! It just said, "Kiss"!
It just said, "Kiss"!
No way. No way.
I have never been
in a situation like this.
Usually, it's the exact
opposite,
where whatever
it is haunting these places
doesn't want me in the room.
She wants me in here.
She wants to kiss me.
Well, you can.
You can kiss me.
I don't know if I can kiss you,
'cause I don't know where you
are, but you can come kiss me.
'Cause you're, like,
the first girl
I've talked to in a long time.
I'm nervous.
I want to know more about you.
Can you tell me your name?
At the very least, can you tell
me why you're in prison?
I was gonna turn the Ovilus off.
She's not telling me anything
about herself,
what her name is,
why she's here.
I am just so perplexed
right now.
I don't know what
the hell just happens.
Alex for Chelsea.
Holy ****
Yeah, what's up?
Hey, I'm just
checking in on you.
How are you doing?
It's pretty quiet in here,
actually.
So far, so good.
All right, I'm gonna go
back to my channel now,
but good luck, and walkie me
if you need anything.
Oh, man.
Whoa!
****
What the **** was that?
Dude!
Whoa!
****
What the **** was that?
Dude!
Al?
Yeah, yo.
Did you hear that?
Dude, I'm coming to you
right now.
Yeah, okay.
Come down here.
What the **** was that?
Dude, it sounded like
it came from right up here.
What the **** do you think
it could have been?
I'm looking around,
and I don't see anything
that would have made that noise.
Was it a jail cell?
There's nothing over here
that would have made that noise.
I literally have no idea
what that was.
I can't tell where that came
from or what that was,
but it was loud enough
to get us both
out of our sleeping situations.
I mean, you heard it
from in the hole,
and I heard it all the way down
in the 1912 cellblock.
Let's just go back to our rooms
and just --
I don't know --
wait out the night.
I'm gonna pull up
the digital recorder
and see if I can
get any answers.
So, I brought
the digital recorder with me.
Did one of you inmates
make that loud bang?
Do you have anything to say?
Do you not want us to be here?
...on the digital recorder?
I don't know if I'm
gonna get anything
on the digital recorder in here.
I don't think these people want
to talk to me, for some reason.
Maybe they feel it's like
it's snitching or -- what?
I have no idea.
But they're just not talking.
It's past 7:00
in the morning now.
The sun is about
to start coming up.
I think it's just time for us
to get out of here.
Oh, my gosh!
Let's get the hell
out of here, huh?
Seriously.
I consider myself
the protector of the group.
But being the one
who picks this location
and being the one
who brings on the terror,
I was just so worried
about my friends.
The fact that we got
through this one unscathed
is just the biggest weight
off my shoulders.
Tanner picked
this location to challenge me,
to confront my fears
of violent entities.
But I'm glad he did because
I feel like I overcame something
that I didn't even know
I needed to overcome.
We're getting a lot better
at facing our fear,
chasing the fear.
A year ago, we probably would've
ran and never came back.
Sometimes, I feel like
Dakota puts himself in positions
that are risky for him.
Like, then I feel like my job
as his sister is to make sure
that he's not doing anything
to put himself in harm's way.
You know,
there's no greater fear
than worrying
about my younger brother.
Dakota's tolerance for fear
has definitely gone up a lot.
And now that
he's conquered that,
he's going to try to take it
to the next level.
Oh, my God, the RV!
Let's get out of here.
I am back in the driver's seat.
The rest of the road trip
is up to me.
And it's not gonna be good.
Let's enjoy this long road trip
because we do have a very long
drive ahead of us again.
We're gonna need every ounce
of strength and energy
that we have.
