Ghost Adventures (2008–…): Season 16, Episode 4 - Old Gila County Jail and Courthouse - full transcript
Zak and the crew head to Globe, Arizona, to investigate a jail and courthouse riddled with violence and mystery. The chilling lockdown reveals a trail of darkness that lingers in every inch of the strange buildings.
We are in Globe, Arizona.
It's a very strange scenario
that works here.
ZAK: Murders, suicides,
it has it all.
What was that?
Hey, little girls.
I can't do this.
That's the piano.
No!
ZAK:
There are things in this world
that we will never
fully understand.
[ Distorted ] Understand.
[ Echoing ] We want answers.
We have worked years to build
our credibility, our reputation,
working alongside
the most renowned professionals
in the field,
capturing groundbreaking proof
of the paranormal.
It's working!
I can't give you
an explanation.
[ Birds cawing ]
This is our evidence...
our ghost adventures.
[ Thunder cracks ]
♪♪
We are in Globe, Arizona,
and we are going to investigate
the Gila County Jail
and Courthouse.
♪♪
Hangings, murders,
suicides, it has it all.
ZAK:
The courthouse, erected in 1906,
followed by the jail in 1910,
are connected by
the Bridge of Sighs.
After criminals were convicted
in the courthouse,
it was just a short walk,
40 feet above freedom,
to undetermined confinement,
stuffed into an 8-by-6 cell.
The Gila County Jail was no
stranger to gruesome violence.
Now, the most interesting part
is why we are going here
to investigate.
We received a phone call
from a news reporter named Ozzy.
Ozzy was doing a segment
about the jail and courthouse.
Something unseen attacked her.
Stop hurting me.
This experience
has traumatized her...
I'm just scared.
...and, more importantly,
she can't believe just how real
this unseen force was.
I'm going to go meet her.
I'll be back.
♪♪
Hey, Ozzy.
Hey, Zak.
-How you doing?
-Good.
It's cold.
I know.
I'll put my jacket on.
You want to put your jacket on?
It's cold in Arizona.
Right now.
Yeah.
[ Laughs ]
So this really intrigued me
to come out here
because something
happened to you
that you're still trying
to find answers for.
It was just an experience
I never went through before.
It's like they know me,
and I know I sound crazy,
and I don't like
talking about it
because when I talk
about it with people,
they're like, "Whatever."
I'm like, "No," like,
"This is what I felt."
So why don't you
take us in there,
and show us where this happened,
if that's okay with you.
Yeah.
That's fine.
You want to go back in there?
Yeah.
Can I say a prayer first?
-Absolutely.
-Okay.
ZAK: I can sense Ozzy's fears
of facing this dark entity
that confronted her
inside the jail.
♪♪
Okay. Right now we're inside
the Gila County Jail.
You okay?
Yes.
You sure?
-Yeah.
-Okay.
I just need to breathe.
Okay.
Let's go in here real quick.
I know that you said one thing
before we went back up
on the second floor.
That's where you had
the experience.
What did you want to do?
I wanted to pray.
-For your protection.
-Yes.
You also mentioned that
you have a little daughter.
-I have a 1-year-old.
-You have a 1-year-old daughter.
Mm-hmm.
Okay.
♪♪
Why are you
getting emotional?
I just remember
seeing my aunt,
and she's the one
that passed away recently.
I remember before I came
to the jail, like,
I pray to her
to protect me.
I think that's why I'm so,
like, emotional and scared.
I just hope she's here
with me.
It's okay, you know?
Your experiences just speaks
of the magnitude
of what happened to you.
We come to try and help
people like you
that had experiences like this
and want to find out
a little bit more about it
without getting too close
to where it turns
into an attachment, okay?
Yeah.
[ Cell door closes ]
What was that?
Did you hear that?
That sounded like a door shut.
It started, right,
like, around here.
What was that?
MAN: Yeah, Zak, right here.
Come here.
♪♪
Quickly bring me
your boom mic.
Everybody be silent, please.
Billy, stay with Ozzy,
and keep the camera on her,
and make sure she's okay.
Guys, stay -- Be quiet.
Is there somebody up there?
Okay, quiet, quiet.
Let me unmount this.
Okay.
[ Door closing in background ]
What was that?
What was that?
I don't know. I just heard what
sounded like a door slam shut.
[ Whispering ] The hell?
Somebody is moving
around up there.
There is movement.
We're picking up tons of strange
activity from the second floor,
so I decide to grab Ozzy
and go straight to the source.
ZAK: Ozzy...
-Yeah.
-Come with me.
♪♪
BILLY:
Zak, you got to look at this.
This thing is all
over the place.
It was 72.
It was 24.
It was 33.
Shoot it.
This shouldn't...
Shoot that.
What the hell?
Yeah.
Yeah.
I've never seen it do that,
130 just now.
It spiked.
Watch.
Hold it still.
AARON: Now, it's chill
when you walk up.
3.4.
Watch.
It'll do it again.
Just -- Whoa.
21.
0.1, 0.9.
Look at that,
17.8 by her arm.
Right?
Right?
See, back down to a 0.0.
ZAK: These EMF spikes
are off the charts,
and the most compelling part
is that they are transient.
Could this indicate a presence
of the powerful type of spirit
that has affected Ozzy?
If they are, this type of power
contained inside
of a negative entity
could be very dangerous.
♪♪
[ Oscillating static ]
MAN: Ozzy.
What?
Did you hear that?
What?
What?
It sounded like, "Z."
-Ozzy?
-Yes.
What?
Did you hear -- You heard that.
It was, like, a Z.
I didn't hear the "Ozzy."
Yeah.
I heard, "Z."
I just heard, "Z."
BILL: Zak...
ZAK: Yeah.
This thing just jumped
to 114.
Look at this, 73,
right there, 150.
ZAK: Hold on.
It's at zero...
It's at zero, right.
...and it's staying on zero.
Billy was getting
the highest ratings
I've ever seen
on an EMF detector.
Ever.
I come over here,
and I witness it,
but as I'm standing
here with him,
now this Mel meter, Aaron,
is based onto 0.2 milligals
and will not move off of that.
AARON: For real?
Yes.
So that's not something
affecting the air around it.
No.
Something was here causing it to
go crazy and then just left.
Do you want to try something?
Dude, that is so crazy.
I'm going to put...
If you're with us, you know,
I'm going to put you
on the front lines
only because I want
you to face it.
Can you go in that jail cell?
[ Oscillating static ]
Ah!
Whoa.
Did you hear that growl?
There was, like, a growl,
like, right here.
-Are you okay?
-Oh, my God.
I'm, like, shaking.
There was a growl, right there.
♪♪
Are you okay?
I don't feel good.
ZAK: It's time to get Ozzy
out of here.
Whatever this entity is
that's affecting her,
literally making her sick,
is dangerous
and could very well be connected
to the off-the-chart
EMF spikes.
We immediately do an analysis,
but we are unable to hear
anything regarding a growl
through the Spirit Box data,
so we can conclude that is
must have been directly heard
in only Ozzy's ears.
Now we meet Tom,
a local historian
with a wealth of knowledge
about the courthouse and jail.
Maybe he can help us understand
why the energy here
is so mysterious
and compelling.
I want you to describe to me
the feeling you get
when you walk in here.
A sad feeling, heaviness.
Basically it's when
you walk in the door,
and it doesn't go away.
When you walk in, it's here.
When you leave, it stays.
Is it true that you are aware
of the very strange
EMF fields
throughout this jail?
Oh, yeah.
When we brought in
a news reporter earlier,
we started documenting
EMF spikes of things that
I've never seen before.
Is there anything here to
explain why we were receiving
those EMF spikes like that?
It's a very, very strange,
strange scenario
that works here.
I've talked to other
technical people
about that, and they don't
understand it, either.
They've come in, like you have,
and taken readings, and they go,
"This is unbelievably high."
I don't understand
why it's here, but it is,
and it needs to be looked
into further, which is hasn't.
So a place with all of these
unexplained EMF spikes...
I mean, ladies and gentlemen,
we're not just talking
about regular spikes.
We're talking about
nuclear blasts...
You're talking
about dangerous...
...of electromagnetic --
Yeah.
...yeah, dangerous levels.
Right,
so with your expertise,
you just can't come up
with a full explanation?
No.
Somebody attacked all
three of them.
The next morning, that's when
he was shot and killed.
I'm serious, Aaron.
That's not funny.
ZAK: At the Gila County Jail
and Courthouse,
we're about to hear
an incredible story
that could help explain
the concentration of energy
that has consumed
this chilling location.
Debe, we are sitting directly
outside of the Kingsley cell,
one of the most notorious
deaths here at the jail.
Can you tell me
who Kingsley was?
Kingsley Olds was the man
who drowned the Gosswick girls
in the river.
Ah!
[ Water splashing ]
He shot himself in the chin
to make it look like
they were attacked.
To make it look like somebody
attacked all three of them?
Correct.
They arrested him,
so he was in here
being treated for his wounds,
so he could attend his trial.
So is it true that Kingsley,
while he was in this cell, here,
claimed he was being visited by
the spirits of the little girls?
Is that accurate?
That is accurate.
If you pick up
the inquest documents,
they interview the nurse
who was attending him,
and she said he saw the girls
standing outside his cell.
He said they were trying
to say something,
but he couldn't
make out anything,
and she said, then,
the second night,
the night that he died,
that the girls came back
and this time motioned for him
to follow them in death,
and then sure enough,
the next morning,
that's when he was
shot and killed.
How was he murdered if he was
in the protection of a jail?
Someone snuck into
the courthouse...
Next door.
...next door and fired down
into his jail cell
and killed him.
-Really?
-Really.
Who killed him?
They believe it was
the girls' father.
But they don't know.
They saw a man walking out
of the courthouse
after they heard the shots,
but nobody ever said who it was.
Really?
It was kind of
frontier justice.
As Debe is leaving, the story
starts to consume me,
and I have a thought
that Debe needs to hear...
Just bring Debe here.
...a thought that could
add more fuel
to this incredible ghost story.
I know you were leaving,
but I wanted to bring
you back in here.
Did these little girls' spirits
visit Kingsley and mess
with his mind
to put salt in the wound
of really making this guy scared
and not only knowing
that their father was going
to kill him next day,
but, "Let's visit him
before his death
and make him panic even more."
And what's interesting to me
is did the spirits
of the little girls
then influence their father's
decision to take justice
in his own hands
and revenge their deaths
because if they visited
their killer,
why wouldn't they have
visited their father
and told their father,
"You have to go kill him.
He killed us,"
and if those little
girls' spirits visit Kingsley,
and Kingsley said
that to the nurse,
and the nurse wrote that down in
the inquest and documented that,
then there's some form of solid
documentation and authenticity
to the hauntings
of these little girls
being able to vocally
send a message
to this man that he's going
to die the next day,
and just asks the question,
did the little girls'
spirits stay here
after they visited here?
♪♪
Is there anything that connects
the jail to the courthouse?
There's the Bridge of Sighs.
The Bridge of Sighs.
What is this?
It's the connection
between the two buildings.
And so when you were
convicted of your crime,
they walked you
across the bridge.
You walked into the jail,
and here you were.
Have men jumped to
their deaths from there?
Men have jumped
to their death.
Really?
Hang on 1 second.
Your guy, he says that the piano
is playing by itself.
Where?
What piano?
In the next building over here,
the courthouse.
Oh, next door?
-Yeah.
-Follow me.
MAN: Even in this room,
you can hear it playing.
ZAK: Are you kidding me?
All right.
Come here.
Come here.
Come here.
Come on.
Hurry up.
Come here.
Debe and I get interrupted
by a report of a piano
playing by itself
in the courthouse
just as I'm discussing
the idea of the girls
still being in these buildings.
Could this be an attempt
to get our attention?
Okay. So we're not only
investigating the jail,
but we are also investigating
this courthouse building.
So where is this piano?
♪♪
It literally just starts
playing when we...
He came out and said,
"Who's sitting in here
in the dark playing the piano?"
Who heard it, here?
The man with
the long white beard.
What's his name?
He's on your crew.
Maybe, yeah.
He heard it, and it
scared him, and he ran.
He ran.
He literally ran out.
Where is Bacon?
MAN: I'll get him.
ZAK: So right now, we're going
to go get Bacon.
Bacon is my assistant.
Did you hear this playing?
-Yeah.
-When? Where were you?
I was in the...
to the bathroom, and I heard
a couple keys playing on there.
All I heard was this,
like, a...
[ Playing piano ]
And that's what's been
playing all night, is that.
WOMAN: Yes, couple notes.
All right.
You just heard two keys?
-That was it.
-Where were you?
I was somewhere through
wherever the bathroom...
Go show me.
So when you went to go see
the piano, the room was dark.
It was dark.
Okay,
and nobody was in there?
-Nobody was in there.
-Who were you with?
I was by myself, but then there
was two ladies that were...
Did you run away?
Yeah.
I left.
Were you scared?
I was just like,
"I've had enough of this."
Can you play for us now?
Are you a little girl?
Somebody put you underwater?
Lulu, Myrtle, and Kingsley
are here.
I believe the incredible
EMF spikes we encountered
are fueled
by their horrific murders.
This concentrated energy
could be a direct result
of their attempts
to communicate.
I can feel them.
I can hear them.
They're watching us.
So right now we're
navigating through
the enormous old
courthouse building.
WOMAN: Yes. Yup.
ZAK:
Guys, keep your cameras on,
your ears open.
We are on the top level,
and we are getting ready to go
to the Bridge of Sighs.
KELLI:
This was the courtroom.
You would be walked
through here...
All right.
...and here's the bridge.
Are you sure
the bridge is still?
Oh, it's totally fine.
I promise.
How do you know?
Is it just your word?
Well I come out here
all the time, so...
I know, but that still
doesn't mean anything.
Would you take my word
for it?
I promise.
You're going to be all right.
-Take your word for it?
-Take my word for it.
I promise you.
I do not like heights.
Yup.
A lot of people don't,
and this is high.
It is really high.
I do not like heights.
Yeah. I can tell you
don't like heights.
You know what I mean?
Okay. Let's go.
Open the door, Aaron.
AARON: No!
Stop.
Now you know how it feels
all the time.
I'm serious, Aaron.
That's not funny.
That's a phobia that I have.
It's not funny.
Open it, Aaron.
No.
Aw.
-I do not like that.
-Oh, that sucks, huh?
That's not cool.
Oh, woo-hoo-hoo.
-I do not like...
-Woo-hoo-hoo.
I don't like heights,
and now you're...
Oh, I don't like getting
locked into places...
Now you're being a bully.
...and locking the door on me
so I can't get out.
I don't like that
either, but...
Now you're being a bully.
Oh, yeah.
I'm glad everybody can see,
now, that you're being a bully.
[ Laughs ]
Okay. So, Kelli, let me
ask you one question.
KELLI: Yeah.
Mm-hmm.
What would you do
if I would ask you
if I can lock you in a room,
pitch black, for an hour,
on lockdown night, by yourself?
I won't do it, no,
because that's...
-Ladies and gentlemen...
-No, I won't.
She just passed the test.
Do you want to know why?
Usually everybody wants to do it
on "Ghost Adventures"
and partake in a cool thing,
and be on TV and have
a great, fun time,
and be adventurous and brave,
but you know what?
She just rejected it.
True fear emanating
from a courthouse
building connected to a jail
from a bridge where many people
have jumped to their deaths,
coming from a courthouse
where a man stood in a window
and assassinated a prisoner
in the jailhouse named Kingsley,
who killed two girls.
How?
Drowning, drowning, drowning.
Not only that, but the little
girls did visit Kingsley...
Yes, they did.
...the night before he died.
How did he die?
He was killed, assassinated,
by a bullet.
What bullet?
From a gun.
What gun?
We don't know because
there's no killer.
-Nope.
-The killer hasn't been found.
Who is the killer?
We don't know.
I can't do this, dude.
ZAK: Shh, shh.
Did you hear that?
No!
ZAK:As we make our way upstairs,
we will target our investigation
in finding out exactly
who or what has been affecting
this news reporter
since she's visited here.
The energy in this location
is very strong,
and we are all on guard.
Shh.
BILLY: Was that a bang?
AARON: A bang.
I thought it was
on this level.
It sounded like
it was here.
And the vibe
is different.
Way different at night.
♪♪
♪♪
And it's nice and cold
in here, too.
That's what it was
when it calmed down
after the interviews,
1.6, 2, right in there.
That's just the normal
baseline for the jail.
As we begin strategizing
our investigation plan,
something interrupts us.
It was in this area.
I know that.
Was it upstairs
or downstairs?
[ Indistinct conversation ]
[ Bang ]
BILLY: Shh, shh.
Did you hear that?
AARON: What was that?
[ Indistinct conversation ]
[ Bang ]
[ Indistinct conversation ]
[ Bang ]
Shh.
Did you hear that?
ZAK: As Aaron immediately begins
searching for what could have
possibly made that loud bang,
he enters into an area
where he earlier
felt something jab him
in the neck,
and he begins to have
a panic attack.
It felt like something grabbed
me and was, like, trying to...
Wait.
Wait, dude.
Do you know what?
We're on the
second floor, right.
That's where I got
my neck jabbed.
Yeah, around the corner.
That's the...no, that didn't.
No.
Uh-uh.
I can't do this, dude.
That's a lot, too much.
No, dude.
[ Sighs ]
ZAK:
Because Aaron is being affected
by an earlier event,
I have a great new
game plan in mind.
[ Oscillating static ]
Yes.
That's what I'm saying.
No!
Aaron...
Yeah?
What?
-I just locked...
-You did that?
Did you do that?
No.
Why would you do that?
No.
Why would you do that
to somebody?
And then Jay, you will be
on the first floor
watching a camera on him.
JAY: Okay.
You just, like, basically
did the worst thing
you could do to somebody.
I'm just stating a fact.
What a lot of people don't
understand is a lot of people
just go and investigate
just nonchalant,
just blah blah blah blah
blah blah blah blah,
and we have to put ourselves
in situations like this, too,
so that now, this real-life
struggle between you and I,
just like there would be
one prisoner here
and a prisoner over here.
We have to calibrate
our emotions, our consciousness,
just as it was
when it was full of people.
I know that, but, dude...
I just got jabbed
in the throat, earlier.
Like, you really think
this is smart?
[Bleep].
This is the one time
out of all the times
I've ever locked
Aaron in anywhere
where I actually felt bad.
As Aaron will be
in total isolation
inside of the jail cell,
Billy and I begin
our investigation next door
at the courthouse where the
unknown assassin shot an inmate
through the third-floor window.
Billy and I are going to go
to the piano right now.
Yesterday, when we were
doing interviews,
the piano was playing by itself.
Two different women heard it,
and also my assistant heard it.
It would play...
Yeah.
...and I was like,
"Who is doing that?"
As I'm aiming my camera
inside the courthouse,
the onboard infrared light
mysteriously turns on and off
twice right as
I'm talking about the piano.
BILLY:
Hey. Your infrared light,
while you were doing that...
Yeah.
...turned on
and off four times.
My infrared light?
Yeah.
I could see it.
You couldn't see it because
I can see it through my...
-This light?
-This light.
Are you serious?
Yeah.
You were talking about
the little girls,
and it went on, off,
and then on and then off.
-What?
-That -- Yeah.
Hey, little girls.
Little girl,
can you play that piano?
Can you do, like, one or
two keys like you did yesterday?
We set up an X camera to watch
the piano closely in case
it mysteriously plays again
while Billy and I head up
to the second floor
where we will use
a new piece of equipment.
So let's try something here.
I've got a parabolic
microphone...
Mm-hmm.
...and I would love
to aim it at this entrance
to the grand staircase
to see if we can listen
with a bionic ear
more than our
digital recorders can.
The highest-powered microphone
I think we've ever used.
Yeah, a parabolic...
Just aim it at the staircase
and see if we can pick up
any residual voices
or possibly communicate
with a spirit.
This staircase
is very unique as well
in that all of its handrails
are made of copper,
which is a conductor
of electricity.
Could this allow spirits to
manifest themselves more easily?
Can you hear me?
I just heard a guy
screaming for his life.
The streetlights all went out.
ZAK: In the Gila County Jail,
Aaron is still locked in a cell
and starting to get
strange messages
on the Ovilus III.
[ Sighs ]
What's your name?
Who are you?
Jim, light.
It just said "Jim,"
and then it said "Light."
I wasn't fast enough
to show you.
I asked its name.
It said "Jim"...
Who are you?
...and then it said, "Light."
Hey, Jim.
I'm just going to
call you Jim, okay?
Oh, that's weird.
The streetlights,
after I said Jim's name,
just all went out
in the background.
You can kind of see.
Let me show you.
See that?
There's a window.
There is a window.
This was all light because
the streetlights were on,
and then right when I said
Jim's name, they turned off.
So why I think that's crazy is
because I just said "Jim,"
and then I said, "Hey, Jim.
I'm going to call you Jim,"
and then those
streetlights came off.
ZAK: Could Jim's spirit
be giving Aaron a clue
to watch the light
which Jim then manipulates
in order to affirm his presence?
This is a great example
of an audio message
being confirmed
through visual evidence,
and what happens next adds even
more validity to this theory.
I do not want to turn
any Spirit Box on.
That, right there,
that communication
was almost too much.
Huh, streetlight is back on.
That's weird.
Look at this.
See how much brighter it is now?
If you take the old shot
from what I had
and bring it back now,
you can tell there's
a light on outside.
It's the streetlight.
So as soon as I said Jim's name,
that powered down,
and what did he say?
He said, "Jim, light."
ZAK: Is there any spirits here?
Can I hear your voice, please?
Talk to me.
[ Disembodied voice shouts ]
All of a sudden, I hear
an unknown voice right after
I asked the spirit
to make itself known.
Is there any spirits here?
Can I hear your voice, please?
Talk to me.
[ Disembodied voice shouts ]
[ Disembodied voice shouts ]
[ Disembodied voice shouts ]
Can you do that again?
Who just went...
[ Shouts ]
BILLY:
Oh, wait, wait, Zak.
There's cold air right here.
Yeah.
Hang on.
I'm feeling...
You feeling it too?
I feel something.
Something just came up on us.
There's something here.
We continue trying
to make contact,
making our way
towards the staircase
where the locked door
is located.
This woman told us all of
the activity occurs right here.
Yeah because a lot of people
that this is, like,
the most hauntedest
floor in the building.
As we reach the staircase,
I hear this chilling voice.
Hey.
What's going on?
19 minutes and 30 seconds,
I just heard a guy in pain,
like, screaming for his life.
-Really?
-Yeah.
I'm aiming -- I was aiming
this up the stairs.
The stairs where
we haven't gone?
The stairs where the door
is that she said
is the most haunted room
in the whole courthouse.
Hey.
Billy, I'm scared, man.
I don't hear
any of that stuff.
That scared me,
listening to that.
It was like, "Ah, ah, ah!"
For real?
I swear to God, like a guy
just got his death
sentence from the judge.
Jay, come in.
Yeah.
Go ahead.
Hey, about, like, a couple
minutes ago, did you hear a guy
just, like,
screaming for his life?
No.
I couldn't hear anything.
I was listening to Aaron
when you guys were back there,
and I didn't hear anything.
Okay. Aaron wasn't screaming
like, "Ah, ah,"
like, a couple minutes ago.
Was he?
No, not at all.
You're the only one that heard
that with the bionic ear.
What?
No, dude.
No, no, no.
God, I hope I didn't
hear that in my head.
Maybe you did.
Billy, I think we need to go up
into that room, right?
Yeah.
Hey, think about it.
You had those things
in your ears.
It's...
[ Thudding ]
What was that, dude?
Who are you?
I'm having trouble with this.
ZAK:
Can you get on the tricycle,
little girl?
ZAK:
Still investigating the Gila
County Jail and Courthouse,
Billy and I hear a loud bang.
[ Thudding ]
What was that, dude?
You know where that came from?
The staircase where
you just heard that.
-Yeah, dude.
-That's where it just came from.
ZAK: After about 2 hours
of being locked up
inside of this jail cell,
Aaron is trying
very hard to escape.
[ Grunts ]
Ugh.
[ Sighs ]
I'm having trouble with this
because I don't know
if I even want to connect
with this energy here.
I mean, we do it all the time,
but this one, man,
this one was like,
"Just leave me alone."
All right.
Here's what I'm going to do,
try to ask it why, and...
[ Thudding ]
Here's what I'm going to do,
try to ask it why, and...
ZAK: Approximately 8 seconds
after this loud bang,
a very strange anomaly
appears on the left-hand
side of the frame.
Watch closely as this weird
shape appears to glow and shift
its shape
as it continues downward,
becoming two conjoined anomalies
before turning into a mist
and shooting behind our camera.
Wait.
Maybe it's my energy
that it doesn't like.
Oh, my God.
Right when I said that, look.
This has been sitting here
at a zero-point base,
and I said, "Maybe it's my" --
These are my gloves.
Look.
Look at that.
It's been sitting here
at a zero base the whole time.
ZAK: Could this extreme
force of energy
that created a very loud
banging sound close to Aaron
have also caused
the electronics
inside of the Mel Meter
to go haywire?
At the start of our
investigation,
the device was showing
accurate baseline readings.
[ Sighs ]
[ Bells ringing in distance ]
The church bell outside.
[ Creaking ]
ZAK: Billy and I have made
our way up the staircase
and through
the infamous attic door
to discover a very
creepy atmosphere
full of old, forgotten clothes
and narrow passageways.
BILLY:
There's a bunch of rooms.
I feel like I'm in a place
I'm not supposed to be.
This is huge.
Dude, it just keeps on going.
Look.
There's another room over here.
I thought this was just going
to be, like, a closet.
No.
I only have SLS vision, Zak.
I can't really see
what's up here, but it's safe,
but it looks like there's a
little plywood walkway up here.
I hope it's...
ZAK:
Careful, Billy, serious.
No idea what that...
Just listen.
[ Piano playing ]
That's the piano!
I can hear it!
Shh!
Hey. I distinctly just
heard piano notes.
I swear.
So did I.
I swear to you, like,
doo-doo-doo, a piano.
ZAK: We both hear what sounds
like piano music
coming from below us.
We check our X camera
covering the piano,
but it's not coming
from this room,
and as we check our X camera
rolling in the theater,
which was the old courtroom,
we make a shocking discovery.
This unknown music is heard
the loudest in here.
Billy and I quickly run down
to the theater to investigate.
Can you get on the tricycle,
little girl?
Do you want to try
and push this tricycle
to show us that you're here?
Hearing no music in this room,
we continue onto the Bridge
of Sighs to investigate.
BILLY: What do you see?
ZAK: Whoa.
Who is that?
Who is this guy?
He's, like, a guard.
He just showed up just now.
That's the first figure
we've gotten.
Figures it's
on the jail side.
It's like it can't leave.
Who are you?
JAY: We're in Kingsley's cell.
This feels crazy.
Aaron!
[ Pop! ]
ZAK: In Globe, Arizona, while
standing on the Bridge of Sighs,
a mysterious figure
appears before us.
What are you doing,
standing right there?
Ooh.
That's a good one.
BILLY: Yeah.
That's weird.
Arm's going crazy.
He must have jumped
or something.
Maybe it's the guy
that jumped.
Look, look, look.
He just climbed.
It looks like he just climbed
on the fence and jumped, dude.
He's gone.
He went over this.
He's gone, Billy.
He had his hands
on the rail, Zak.
He had his hands on the rails,
and it looked like his legs...
If you freeze-frame it,
it looked like his legs
went up on the fence
and then disappeared.
It is documented that a man
jumped to his death
after crossing this bridge
from the courthouse to the jail.
Have men jumped
to their deaths from it?
Men have jumped
to their death.
Could we be seeing a residual
loop of that suicide?
Watch how incredibly you see
this figure's arms
grab the railing,
and it even lifts its leg
in order to climb up it
before vanishing into thin air.
It's been over 4 hours now,
and Aaron is mentally exhausted.
It seems as though
the spirits here have been
not only feeding off his energy,
but they've also
gotten very personal.
[ Static ]
[ Static spikes twice ]
Aaron!
[ Static ]
[ Static spikes twice ]
[ Static spikes twice ]
Aaron!
What?
I just heard my name,
go, "Aaron."
I have no energy.
I have to sit here,
and I'm done.
I'm done.
ZAK: Jay feels that it's time
to release
Aaron from the jail cell,
and it isn't long before we see
Aaron's face peek out from
within Kingsley's cell.
Is that Kingsley's?
JAY: Mm-hmm. Yeah.
We're in Kingsley's cell.
So let's get ready to do
our Kingsley experiment.
Right now, I'm in the exact spot
where the assassin used a rifle
to shoot through the jail
window of Kingsley's cell,
which is right here
in front of me.
I have Jay laying down
in the exact bed
where Kingsley was laying
when he was shot and killed.
This feels crazy,
and Aaron is over there,
monitoring a live EVP device,
a full-spectrum camera
and a night vision camera,
so we're going to try
a few different shots
and see if any activity happens.
This is not a real gun.
This is just an air rifle,
and there are no pellets
in it at all.
This is just an air rifle.
Again, it's believed the shooter
was using books just like this,
and he was never captured.
They say it was the father of
the two girls who were drowned
by the man
that was killed in the cell
where I'm aiming this rifle.
The purpose of this experiment
is to recreate the event
in hopes that the air rifle's
blank shot will ignite activity,
whether it's residual
or intelligent,
in order to give us
more information
about who the killer was
and if Kingsley did indeed
kill the two girls
that he was on trial for.
[ Pop! ]
Geez.
Head.
AARON: Head.
It just said, "Head."
Could this be confirmation
of the head shot
that killed Kingsley
Olds in 1910?
MACHINE: Rapture.
What did it say?
Rapture.
Rapture?
Yeah.
Right before you fired,
I heard a girl,
little girls talking.
I swear.
ZAK: The night before Kingsley
was shot and killed,
he said that the little girls
came to his cell
and told him to visit them
in the afterlife,
and as Jay mentions
these little girls,
two more back-to-back messages
come through
the talking EVP device.
Lake.
What did it say?
[ Pop! ]
Pappy.
Pappy?
What did it say before that?
Lake.
Lake?
Yeah.
Didn't they drown in a lake?
Hey, Zak, were the two girls
drowned in a lake?
What?
Did the two girls
drown in a lake?
Yeah.
Are you serious?
It said, "Lake"?
Zak, after you did
that last shot, it said, "Lake,"
and then, "Pappy,"
like someone's dad.
Could this be the spirits
of the little girls
telling their pappy,
which is slang used by children
to address their father,
that while they passed on
while being drowned in a lake,
they believed it was
part of the rapture,
and they were moving
onto a divine place?
We hope that they were able
to find this kind of peace
in the afterlife.

ZAK:
The courthouse, erected in 1906,
followed by the jail in 1910,
are connected by
the Bridge of Sighs.
After criminals were convicted
in the courthouse,
it was just a short walk,
40 feet above freedom,
to undetermined confinement,
stuffed into an 8-by-6 cell.
The Gila County Jail was no
stranger to gruesome violence.
Now, the most interesting part
is why we are going here
to investigate.
We received a phone call
from a news reporter named Ozzy.
Ozzy was doing a segment
about the jail and courthouse.
Something unseen attacked her.
Stop hurting me.
This experience
has traumatized her...
I'm just scared.

she can't believe just how real
this unseen force was.

So this really intrigued me
to come out here
because something
happened to you
that you're still trying
to find answers for.
It was just an experience
I never went through before.
It's like they know me,
and I know I sound crazy,
and I don't like
talking about it
because when I talk
about it with people,
they're like, "Whatever."
I'm like, "No," like,
"This is what I felt."
So why don't you
take us in there,
and show us where this happened,
if that's okay with you.
Yeah.
That's fine.
You want to go back in there?

to the off-the-chart
EMF spikes.
We immediately do an analysis,
but we are unable to hear
anything regarding a growl
through the Spirit Box data,
so we can conclude that is
must have been directly heard
in only Ozzy's ears.

of the very strange
EMF fields
throughout this jail?
Oh, yeah.
When we brought in

we started documenting
EMF spikes of things that
I've never seen before.
Is there anything here to
explain why we were receiving
those EMF spikes like that?
It's a very, very strange,
strange scenario
that works here.
I've talked to other
technical people
about that, and they don't
understand it, either.
They've come in, like you have,
and taken readings, and they go,
"This is unbelievably high."

why it's here, but it is,
and it needs to be looked
into further, which is hasn't.

three of them.
The next morning, that's when
he was shot and killed.
I'm serious, Aaron.
That's not funny.
ZAK: At the Gila County Jail
and Courthouse,
we're about to hear
an incredible story
that could help explain
the concentration of energy
that has consumed
this chilling location.
Debe, we are sitting directly
outside of the Kingsley cell,
one of the most notorious
deaths here at the jail.
Can you tell me
who Kingsley was?
Kingsley Olds was the man
who drowned the Gosswick girls
in the river.
Ah!
[ Water splashing ]
He shot himself in the chin
to make it look like
they were attacked.
To make it look like somebody
attacked all three of them?
Correct.
They arrested him,
so he was in here
being treated for his wounds,
so he could attend his trial.
So is it true that Kingsley,
while he was in this cell, here,
claimed he was being visited by
the spirits of the little girls?
Is that accurate?
That is accurate.
If you pick up
the inquest documents,
they interview the nurse
who was attending him,
and she said he saw the girls
standing outside his cell.
He said they were trying
to say something,
but he couldn't
make out anything,
and she said, then,
the second night,
the night that he died,
that the girls came back
and this time motioned for him
to follow them in death,
and then sure enough,
the next morning,
that's when he was
shot and killed.
How was he murdered if he was
in the protection of a jail?
Someone snuck into
the courthouse...
Next door.
...next door and fired down
into his jail cell
and killed him.
-Really?
-Really.
Who killed him?
They believe it was
the girls' father.
But they don't know.
They saw a man walking out
of the courthouse
after they heard the shots,
but nobody ever said who it was.
Really?
It was kind of
frontier justice.
As Debe is leaving, the story
starts to consume me,
and I have a thought
that Debe needs to hear...
Just bring Debe here.
...a thought that could
add more fuel
to this incredible ghost story.
I know you were leaving,
but I wanted to bring
you back in here.
Did these little girls' spirits
visit Kingsley and mess
with his mind
to put salt in the wound
of really making this guy scared
and not only knowing
that their father was going
to kill him next day,
but, "Let's visit him
before his death
and make him panic even more."
And what's interesting to me
is did the spirits
of the little girls
then influence their father's
decision to take justice
in his own hands
and revenge their deaths
because if they visited
their killer,
why wouldn't they have
visited their father
and told their father,
"You have to go kill him.
He killed us,"
and if those little
girls' spirits visit Kingsley,
and Kingsley said
that to the nurse,
and the nurse wrote that down in
the inquest and documented that,
then there's some form of solid
documentation and authenticity
to the hauntings
of these little girls
being able to vocally
send a message
to this man that he's going
to die the next day,
and just asks the question,
did the little girls'
spirits stay here
after they visited here?

-No, I won't.
She just passed the test.
Do you want to know why?
Usually everybody wants to do it
on "Ghost Adventures"
and partake in a cool thing,
and be on TV and have
a great, fun time,
and be adventurous and brave,
but you know what?
She just rejected it.
True fear emanating
from a courthouse
building connected to a jail
from a bridge where many people
have jumped to their deaths,
coming from a courthouse
where a man stood in a window
and assassinated a prisoner
in the jailhouse named Kingsley,
who killed two girls.
How?
Drowning, drowning, drowning.
Not only that, but the little
girls did visit Kingsley...
Yes, they did.
...the night before he died.
How did he die?
He was killed, assassinated,
by a bullet.
What bullet?
From a gun.
What gun?
We don't know because
there's no killer.
-Nope.
-The killer hasn't been found.
Who is the killer?
We don't know.
I can't do this, dude.
ZAK: Shh, shh.
Did you hear that?
No!
ZAK:As we make our way upstairs,
we will target our investigation
in finding out exactly
who or what has been affecting
this news reporter
since she's visited here.
The energy in this location
is very strong,
and we are all on guard.
Shh.
BILLY: Was that a bang?
AARON: A bang.
I thought it was
on this level.
It sounded like
it was here.
And the vibe
is different.
Way different at night.
♪♪
♪♪
And it's nice and cold
in here, too.
That's what it was
when it calmed down
after the interviews,
1.6, 2, right in there.
That's just the normal
baseline for the jail.
As we begin strategizing
our investigation plan,
something interrupts us.
It was in this area.
I know that.
Was it upstairs
or downstairs?
[ Indistinct conversation ]
[ Bang ]
BILLY: Shh, shh.
Did you hear that?
AARON: What was that?
[ Indistinct conversation ]
[ Bang ]
[ Indistinct conversation ]
[ Bang ]
Shh.
Did you hear that?
ZAK: As Aaron immediately begins
searching for what could have
possibly made that loud bang,
he enters into an area
where he earlier
felt something jab him
in the neck,
and he begins to have
a panic attack.
It felt like something grabbed
me and was, like, trying to...
Wait.
Wait, dude.
Do you know what?
We're on the
second floor, right.
That's where I got
my neck jabbed.
Yeah, around the corner.
That's the...no, that didn't.
No.
Uh-uh.
I can't do this, dude.
That's a lot, too much.
No, dude.
[ Sighs ]
ZAK:
Because Aaron is being affected
by an earlier event,
I have a great new
game plan in mind.
[ Oscillating static ]
Yes.
That's what I'm saying.
No!
Aaron...
Yeah?
What?
-I just locked...
-You did that?
Did you do that?
No.
Why would you do that?
No.
Why would you do that
to somebody?
And then Jay, you will be
on the first floor
watching a camera on him.
JAY: Okay.
You just, like, basically
did the worst thing
you could do to somebody.
I'm just stating a fact.
What a lot of people don't
understand is a lot of people
just go and investigate
just nonchalant,
just blah blah blah blah
blah blah blah blah,
and we have to put ourselves
in situations like this, too,
so that now, this real-life
struggle between you and I,
just like there would be
one prisoner here
and a prisoner over here.
We have to calibrate
our emotions, our consciousness,
just as it was
when it was full of people.
I know that, but, dude...
I just got jabbed
in the throat, earlier.
Like, you really think
this is smart?
[Bleep].
This is the one time
out of all the times
I've ever locked
Aaron in anywhere
where I actually felt bad.
As Aaron will be
in total isolation
inside of the jail cell,
Billy and I begin
our investigation next door
at the courthouse where the
unknown assassin shot an inmate
through the third-floor window.
Billy and I are going to go
to the piano right now.
Yesterday, when we were
doing interviews,
the piano was playing by itself.
Two different women heard it,
and also my assistant heard it.
It would play...
Yeah.
...and I was like,
"Who is doing that?"
As I'm aiming my camera
inside the courthouse,
the onboard infrared light
mysteriously turns on and off
twice right as
I'm talking about the piano.
BILLY:
Hey. Your infrared light,
while you were doing that...
Yeah.
...turned on
and off four times.
My infrared light?
Yeah.
I could see it.
You couldn't see it because
I can see it through my...
-This light?
-This light.
Are you serious?
Yeah.
You were talking about
the little girls,
and it went on, off,
and then on and then off.
-What?
-That -- Yeah.
Hey, little girls.
Little girl,
can you play that piano?
Can you do, like, one or
two keys like you did yesterday?
We set up an X camera to watch
the piano closely in case
it mysteriously plays again
while Billy and I head up
to the second floor
where we will use
a new piece of equipment.
So let's try something here.
I've got a parabolic
microphone...
Mm-hmm.
...and I would love
to aim it at this entrance
to the grand staircase
to see if we can listen
with a bionic ear
more than our
digital recorders can.
The highest-powered microphone
I think we've ever used.
Yeah, a parabolic...
Just aim it at the staircase
and see if we can pick up
any residual voices
or possibly communicate
with a spirit.
This staircase
is very unique as well
in that all of its handrails
are made of copper,
which is a conductor
of electricity.
Could this allow spirits to
manifest themselves more easily?
Can you hear me?
I just heard a guy
screaming for his life.
The streetlights all went out.
ZAK: In the Gila County Jail,
Aaron is still locked in a cell
and starting to get
strange messages
on the Ovilus III.
[ Sighs ]
What's your name?
Who are you?
Jim, light.
It just said "Jim,"
and then it said "Light."
I wasn't fast enough
to show you.
I asked its name.
It said "Jim"...
Who are you?
...and then it said, "Light."
Hey, Jim.
I'm just going to
call you Jim, okay?
Oh, that's weird.
The streetlights,
after I said Jim's name,
just all went out
in the background.
You can kind of see.
Let me show you.
See that?
There's a window.
There is a window.
This was all light because
the streetlights were on,
and then right when I said
Jim's name, they turned off.
So why I think that's crazy is
because I just said "Jim,"
and then I said, "Hey, Jim.
I'm going to call you Jim,"
and then those
streetlights came off.
ZAK: Could Jim's spirit
be giving Aaron a clue
to watch the light
which Jim then manipulates
in order to affirm his presence?
This is a great example
of an audio message
being confirmed
through visual evidence,
and what happens next adds even
more validity to this theory.
I do not want to turn
any Spirit Box on.
That, right there,
that communication
was almost too much.
Huh, streetlight is back on.
That's weird.
Look at this.
See how much brighter it is now?
If you take the old shot
from what I had
and bring it back now,
you can tell there's
a light on outside.
It's the streetlight.
So as soon as I said Jim's name,
that powered down,
and what did he say?
He said, "Jim, light."
ZAK: Is there any spirits here?
Can I hear your voice, please?
Talk to me.
[ Disembodied voice shouts ]
All of a sudden, I hear
an unknown voice right after
I asked the spirit
to make itself known.
Is there any spirits here?
Can I hear your voice, please?
Talk to me.
[ Disembodied voice shouts ]
[ Disembodied voice shouts ]
[ Disembodied voice shouts ]
Can you do that again?
Who just went...
[ Shouts ]
BILLY:
Oh, wait, wait, Zak.
There's cold air right here.
Yeah.
Hang on.
I'm feeling...
You feeling it too?
I feel something.
Something just came up on us.
There's something here.
We continue trying
to make contact,
making our way
towards the staircase
where the locked door
is located.
This woman told us all of
the activity occurs right here.
Yeah because a lot of people
that this is, like,
the most hauntedest
floor in the building.
As we reach the staircase,
I hear this chilling voice.
Hey.
What's going on?
19 minutes and 30 seconds,
I just heard a guy in pain,
like, screaming for his life.
-Really?
-Yeah.
I'm aiming -- I was aiming
this up the stairs.
The stairs where
we haven't gone?
The stairs where the door
is that she said
is the most haunted room
in the whole courthouse.
Hey.
Billy, I'm scared, man.
I don't hear
any of that stuff.
That scared me,
listening to that.
It was like, "Ah, ah, ah!"
For real?
I swear to God, like a guy
just got his death
sentence from the judge.
Jay, come in.
Yeah.
Go ahead.
Hey, about, like, a couple
minutes ago, did you hear a guy
just, like,
screaming for his life?
No.
I couldn't hear anything.
I was listening to Aaron
when you guys were back there,
and I didn't hear anything.
Okay. Aaron wasn't screaming
like, "Ah, ah,"
like, a couple minutes ago.
Was he?
No, not at all.
You're the only one that heard
that with the bionic ear.
What?
No, dude.
No, no, no.
God, I hope I didn't
hear that in my head.
Maybe you did.
Billy, I think we need to go up
into that room, right?
Yeah.
Hey, think about it.
You had those things
in your ears.
It's...
[ Thudding ]
What was that, dude?
Who are you?
I'm having trouble with this.
ZAK:
Can you get on the tricycle,
little girl?
ZAK:
Still investigating the Gila
County Jail and Courthouse,
Billy and I hear a loud bang.
[ Thudding ]
What was that, dude?
You know where that came from?
The staircase where
you just heard that.
-Yeah, dude.
-That's where it just came from.
ZAK: After about 2 hours
of being locked up
inside of this jail cell,
Aaron is trying
very hard to escape.
[ Grunts ]
Ugh.
[ Sighs ]
I'm having trouble with this
because I don't know
if I even want to connect
with this energy here.
I mean, we do it all the time,
but this one, man,
this one was like,
"Just leave me alone."
All right.
Here's what I'm going to do,
try to ask it why, and...
[ Thudding ]
Here's what I'm going to do,
try to ask it why, and...
ZAK: Approximately 8 seconds
after this loud bang,
a very strange anomaly
appears on the left-hand
side of the frame.
Watch closely as this weird
shape appears to glow and shift
its shape
as it continues downward,
becoming two conjoined anomalies
before turning into a mist
and shooting behind our camera.
Wait.
Maybe it's my energy
that it doesn't like.
Oh, my God.
Right when I said that, look.
This has been sitting here
at a zero-point base,
and I said, "Maybe it's my" --
These are my gloves.
Look.
Look at that.
It's been sitting here
at a zero base the whole time.
ZAK: Could this extreme
force of energy
that created a very loud
banging sound close to Aaron
have also caused
the electronics
inside of the Mel Meter
to go haywire?
At the start of our
investigation,
the device was showing
accurate baseline readings.
[ Sighs ]
[ Bells ringing in distance ]
The church bell outside.
[ Creaking ]
ZAK: Billy and I have made
our way up the staircase
and through
the infamous attic door
to discover a very
creepy atmosphere
full of old, forgotten clothes
and narrow passageways.
BILLY:
There's a bunch of rooms.
I feel like I'm in a place
I'm not supposed to be.
This is huge.
Dude, it just keeps on going.
Look.
There's another room over here.
I thought this was just going
to be, like, a closet.
No.
I only have SLS vision, Zak.
I can't really see
what's up here, but it's safe,
but it looks like there's a
little plywood walkway up here.
I hope it's...
ZAK:
Careful, Billy, serious.
No idea what that...
Just listen.
[ Piano playing ]
That's the piano!
I can hear it!
Shh!
Hey. I distinctly just
heard piano notes.
I swear.
So did I.
I swear to you, like,
doo-doo-doo, a piano.
ZAK: We both hear what sounds
like piano music
coming from below us.
We check our X camera
covering the piano,
but it's not coming
from this room,
and as we check our X camera
rolling in the theater,
which was the old courtroom,
we make a shocking discovery.
This unknown music is heard
the loudest in here.
Billy and I quickly run down
to the theater to investigate.
Can you get on the tricycle,
little girl?
Do you want to try
and push this tricycle
to show us that you're here?
Hearing no music in this room,
we continue onto the Bridge
of Sighs to investigate.
BILLY: What do you see?
ZAK: Whoa.
Who is that?
Who is this guy?
He's, like, a guard.
He just showed up just now.
That's the first figure
we've gotten.
Figures it's
on the jail side.
It's like it can't leave.
Who are you?
JAY: We're in Kingsley's cell.
This feels crazy.
Aaron!
[ Pop! ]
ZAK: In Globe, Arizona, while
standing on the Bridge of Sighs,
a mysterious figure
appears before us.
What are you doing,
standing right there?
Ooh.
That's a good one.
BILLY: Yeah.
That's weird.
Arm's going crazy.
He must have jumped
or something.
Maybe it's the guy
that jumped.
Look, look, look.
He just climbed.
It looks like he just climbed
on the fence and jumped, dude.
He's gone.
He went over this.
He's gone, Billy.
He had his hands
on the rail, Zak.
He had his hands on the rails,
and it looked like his legs...
If you freeze-frame it,
it looked like his legs
went up on the fence
and then disappeared.
It is documented that a man
jumped to his death
after crossing this bridge
from the courthouse to the jail.
Have men jumped
to their deaths from it?
Men have jumped
to their death.
Could we be seeing a residual
loop of that suicide?
Watch how incredibly you see
this figure's arms
grab the railing,
and it even lifts its leg
in order to climb up it
before vanishing into thin air.
It's been over 4 hours now,
and Aaron is mentally exhausted.
It seems as though
the spirits here have been
not only feeding off his energy,
but they've also
gotten very personal.
[ Static ]
[ Static spikes twice ]
Aaron!
[ Static ]
[ Static spikes twice ]
[ Static spikes twice ]
Aaron!
What?
I just heard my name,
go, "Aaron."
I have no energy.
I have to sit here,
and I'm done.
I'm done.
ZAK: Jay feels that it's time
to release
Aaron from the jail cell,
and it isn't long before we see
Aaron's face peek out from
within Kingsley's cell.
Is that Kingsley's?
JAY: Mm-hmm. Yeah.
We're in Kingsley's cell.
So let's get ready to do
our Kingsley experiment.
Right now, I'm in the exact spot
where the assassin used a rifle
to shoot through the jail
window of Kingsley's cell,
which is right here
in front of me.
I have Jay laying down
in the exact bed
where Kingsley was laying
when he was shot and killed.
This feels crazy,
and Aaron is over there,
monitoring a live EVP device,
a full-spectrum camera
and a night vision camera,
so we're going to try
a few different shots
and see if any activity happens.
This is not a real gun.
This is just an air rifle,
and there are no pellets
in it at all.
This is just an air rifle.
Again, it's believed the shooter
was using books just like this,
and he was never captured.
They say it was the father of
the two girls who were drowned
by the man
that was killed in the cell
where I'm aiming this rifle.
The purpose of this experiment
is to recreate the event
in hopes that the air rifle's
blank shot will ignite activity,
whether it's residual
or intelligent,
in order to give us
more information
about who the killer was
and if Kingsley did indeed
kill the two girls
that he was on trial for.
[ Pop! ]
Geez.
Head.
AARON: Head.
It just said, "Head."
Could this be confirmation
of the head shot
that killed Kingsley
Olds in 1910?
MACHINE: Rapture.
What did it say?
Rapture.
Rapture?
Yeah.
Right before you fired,
I heard a girl,
little girls talking.
I swear.
ZAK: The night before Kingsley
was shot and killed,
he said that the little girls
came to his cell
and told him to visit them
in the afterlife,
and as Jay mentions
these little girls,
two more back-to-back messages
come through
the talking EVP device.
Lake.
What did it say?
[ Pop! ]
Pappy.
Pappy?
What did it say before that?
Lake.
Lake?
Yeah.
Didn't they drown in a lake?
Hey, Zak, were the two girls
drowned in a lake?
What?
Did the two girls
drown in a lake?
Yeah.
Are you serious?
It said, "Lake"?
Zak, after you did
that last shot, it said, "Lake,"
and then, "Pappy,"
like someone's dad.
Could this be the spirits
of the little girls
telling their pappy,
which is slang used by children
to address their father,
that while they passed on
while being drowned in a lake,
they believed it was
part of the rapture,
and they were moving
onto a divine place?
We hope that they were able
to find this kind of peace
in the afterlife.
