Ghost Adventures (2008–…): Season 17, Episode 4 - Cape Disappointment - full transcript
Zak and the crew conclude their investigation of the Graveyard of the Pacific with a visit to Washington State, where they explore a lighthouse that bore witness to some of the most tragic shipwrecks on the Pacific Coast.
This is not just
an ordinary lighthouse.
♪♪
This is a graveyard.
I sense
a very angry being.
♪♪
So their bodies
washed ashore here?
-Yes.
-This is a real ghost story.
There are spirits alive.
ZAK: What is that
to the right of Jay?
-BILLY: I don't know.
-AARON: Hello?
Someone was gonna
get in a fight.
ZAK AND AARON: Whoa.
ZAK: Get out
of the [Bleep] house!
♪♪
ZAK: There are things
in this world
that we will never
fully understand.
Understand.
We want answers.
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!
-Whoa! What was that?
I can't give you
an explanation.

As we continue our investigation
of the Graveyard of the Pacific,
we finally head
to the center of it all,
the treacherous stretch of sea
that has taken countless lives
and entombed thousands of ships.
♪♪
All right, we just got to
Cape Disappointment.
Now, Cape Disappointment
is right at the mouth
of the Columbia River where it
meets the Pacific Ocean,
in between Oregon
and Washington.
I think it is the most
dangerous areas for ships.
AARON: Damn.
It's called
the Graveyard of the Pacific,
but unlike most graveyards
where people are laid to rest
after they die,
this graveyard kills.
♪♪
We are going to be
investigating here,
on Cape Disappointment,
a very haunted lighthouse.
There was
a very mysterious suicide
that we're going
to learn more about.
We're headed right now
to a place
called Dead Man's Hollow.
ZAK: As we arrive
at these haunted shores,
we see how easy it was
for ships to be attacked
by these vicious waters.
Jeff, how you doing?
Over here, there's a place
called Dead Man's Hollow.
Why is it called
Dead Man's Hollow?
Well, in 1853, a barquentine,
a ship called
the Vandalia, wrecked,
and nine of her crew,
their bodies,
the current carried them
around from that spot,
from where the shipwreck was,
and they all ended up
in that one hollow.
So their bodies
washed ashore here?
Yes.
♪♪
♪♪
ZAK: Several eyewitnesses
have reported
seeing the lost souls
of the Vandalia crew,
both here in the hollow
and on the cliffs
leading up to the lighthouse.
♪♪
[ Thunderclap ]
We leave Dead Man's Hollow
and head to
the North Head Lighthouse.
♪♪
-You rolling?
-Yeah.
ZAK: You can hear
the angry ocean in the distance.
You can hear the waves
coming up through these trees,
and there's nobody here.
You don't see
any living people at all.
It's just the ocean meets
this creepy forest,
and somehow, you feel like
you're being watched constantly.
♪♪
-Holy cow! Aaron!
-AARON: Hang on!
Hurry up and get over here
and look at this!
♪♪
Now, this is not just
an ordinary lighthouse.
This lighthouse is still
in use today.
This structure,
commissioned in 1893,
was designed
to protect crews at sea,
yet it would still bear witness
to a multitude of catastrophes
in the waters
just below its perch.
Mary's spot.
ZAK: Barbara Christian,
a local historian,
is a long-time member
of the Keepers of
the North Head Lighthouse.
What'd you say?
I said, "That's Mary's spot
out there."
That's where she went
around the fence.
ZAK: In 1898, Alexander Pesonen
and his new bride, Mary,
became the first Keepers
of the North Head Lighthouse.
Many believe
Mary and her husband
were affected by a dark force
that resulted
in her untimely death.
♪♪
Before Mary's
mysterious passing,
she sat down to write
one final letter.
This is a copy
of the letter...
-Yes, it is.
-...that Mary wrote.
Mm-hmm.
"My man is reading his paper
here by this..."
WOMAN'S VOICE:
By this kitchen table.
I think I'll see
if I can sleep tonight.
I will change my way of living
from now on.
I'm even going to try
and do without this medicine
and just pray
I'll do better and better.
♪♪
CHRISTIAN:
She walked around the edge
and was deciding
not to take her medication
and try to get better
by prayer, and it failed her.
ZAK: Was she praying for
protection from the very force
that may have driven her
to kill herself?
Her death was ruled a suicide.
I do not know.
I believe, in the stuff
that I've read, they...
decided not to say.
-Mm-hmm.
-We are unsure.
ZAK: Why did Mary mention
her husband in the letter
as if she was in fear of him?
Were they both at the mercy
of evil spirits
while in isolation,
here in the woods,
above the Graveyard
of the Pacific?
♪♪
♪♪
We're in the Caretaker's House
right now.
Wendy, can you please tell me
a little bit about yourself?
Are you a clairvoyant?
-I'm a sensitive psychic.
-Okay.
ZAK: Wendy Stanton-Phillips
has previously visited
the lighthouse
and the surrounding grounds.
Is there any negativity
anywhere on these grounds?
-Well, there was anger...
-Mm-hmm.
...which I think came from
the caretaker and his wife.
There was a bit of...
They didn't get along well.
Okay.
And I felt that in here
and out at the lighthouse.
[ Wind gusting ]
I went into the lighthouse.
As soon as I walked in,
my stomach became upset.
I got disoriented.
My head hurt.
I, at one point, had to
sit down on the stairs
because I was about ready
to kind of black out,
which is not, you know,
a daily occurrence for me.
So there is a negativity
in the lighthouse?
Yeah. You know, I sensed
a very frustrated, angry being.
[ Voice echoing ] A friend of
mine saw a man in a old uniform.
♪♪
Did you ever make contact
with this woman
that is documented to have
fallen over the cliff?
I can't honestly say
if I made contact with her,
but I felt
a smaller presence.
Okay.
I felt them staring out that
window over there and upstairs,
looking out at the water.
In this Caretaker's House?
-Mm-hmm.
-Of a female?
-Mm-hmm.
Okay.
♪♪
Is there anything else
that you sensed
within any
of the grounds here?
Coming down, originally,
in the forest, I felt...
It made me
very emotional there,
something very heavy that
came down through there.
[ Wind gusting ]
And it was...
I'm not positive what it was.
It seemed very old.
What do you mean old?
Like ancient?
I'm not sure if it was
a Native American set of spirits
in there...
-Mm-hmm.
...almost like...
people may have...
Was this something --
they had misbehaved,
and a group of people took 'em
down to deal with them...
-Mm-hmm.
-...at the edge of the cliff?
I'm not sure, but it was
just very heavy
and very emotional
through that one spot.
[ Tribal chanting ]
ZAK: If, in fact,
great violence occurred here,
could it have manifested
an ancient dark energy
that affected both Mary
and her husband,
ending in tragedy and binding
their souls to these grounds?
♪♪
As we end our interview,
something begins
to severely affect Wendy.
Wendy, why did you say you were
happy to get out of there?
My head was being
just crushed in there,
just the pressure.
-Of inside here?
-Yeah.
What is that from?
From the more negative...
presence that seems
to be in there.
I think it was him.
-Who's him?
-Her husband.
♪♪
Hey, go in there right now
and take one --
one person with you.
Go see if you hear somebody
in there.
♪♪
[ Oscillating static ]
Was that you who fell --
that fell down the hill?
WOMAN'S VOICE: Someone coming.
ZAK:
Is this Mary speaking to Aaron
and telling him
that someone is coming?
Could this someone
coming be Mary's husband,
who Wendy just sensed
moments ago?
-I think it was him.
-Who's him?
Her husband.
ZAK: Incredibly,
a man's voice who we believe
is Mary's husband
tells us we need to know.
MAN'S VOICE: Need to know.
[ Oscillating static ]
ZAK: After receiving
two clear voices,
Aaron heads to the window...
-AARON: Where we going?
...where the spirit of Mary
has been seen.
[ Oscillating static ]
Is that where you got...
-MAN'S VOICE: You'll see.
-"You'll see."
"You'll see."
ZAK: We believe these voices
are from Mary and her husband.
What they are saying indicates
that they are not at rest
because there are details
that we...
and later, we will see.
But none of us will be prepared
for who shows up
and threatens our investigation.

ZAK: To further our
understanding of the hauntings
at the North Head Lighthouse,
we head to the Maritime Museum
in Astoria, Oregon,
to learn more about
one of the area's
most infamous tragedies.
"Mere description can give
little idea
"of the terrors
of the bar of the Columbia.
"All who have seen it have
"spoken of the wildness
of the scene
and the incessant roar
of the waters..."
♪♪
"...representing it as one of
the most fearful sights
that can possibly meet
the eye of a sailor."
This was Commander Wilkes
of the U.S. Navy, 1841.
♪♪
-Wow. How you doing?
-Fine.
-Zak Bagans.
-Jeff Smith.
-Nice to meet you.
-Yeah.
-So, uh, Jeff.
-Mm-hmm?
We are investigating
the North Head Lighthouse.
This is a graveyard.
-It certainly is.
And these little boats
you have here are tombstones.
Are these all the shipwrecks
of the Graveyard of the Pacific
here at...
Not by any means at all.
This only represents
50 of the thousands.
-Of the thousands!
-Yes.
I'm going to push
this button here,
representing
vessel number 39...
-Yeah.
-...on your map.
And when it lights up
right there...
Yep.
...as you can see that,
number 39 is
the shipwreck
of the Vandalia.
Can you tell me a little bit
about the Vandalia?
What year did it wreck?
Anything about its crew?
Yes. In fact, the Vandalia
went down January 9, 1853,
with the loss
of all lives onboard.
Uh-huh.
The captain washed ashore
just north of the North Head,
and the fact that...
-Is that Beard's Hollow?
-Yes, it is.
Okay. That's...
It was named after
Captain Edward Beard.
The majority of
the remainder of the crew
washed in another area
called Dead Man's Hollow.
Dead Man's Hollow.
We were there yesterday.
Yeah.
How did they
get stuck in one of
the most dangerous areas
of the ocean and the world?
Well, it's hard enough today
with motorized vessels,
but in the age of sail,
it was doubly so
because a captain
and a handful of men
for a crew would have to
commit to a course
based on prevailing winds
or current wind conditions,
current wave conditions.
And any minute,
those could change,
and so a captain and crew
would set sail
and set course
to enter the river,
and all of a sudden,
the wind would die.
And when that happens,
a sailing ship doesn't
go very far
and is at the mercy of waves,
and quiet often,
sailing ships wrecked
at the mouth of the river
because of just that.
♪♪
Are you a believer
in ghosts?
There's no question
in my mind
that there are spirits alive
in this waterway
that some people in this world
are connected to.
-Really?
-Yeah.
What types
of forces or spirits?
Well, I'm thinking namely
of the Native Americans.
Uh-huh.
They have strong beliefs
in spirits.
Mm-hmm.
And who are we
to question that?
ZAK: Is it possible
ancient spiritual energy
could be responsible
for the magnitude of hauntings
in this area?
I meet up with the guys
in a neighboring ship
to further our research.
You guys know what ship
we're on right now, right?
-Columbia.
-ZAK: This is the Columbia.
This was the last light ship...
-Ah.
...to be on the waters
of the Graveyard
of the Pacific here.
-Oh, really?
-BILLY: No way.
Yeah. It was
decommissioned 1979.
This vessel that we're in
right now
was in the thick
of all of the emotion
of the Graveyard of the Pacific.
-Wow.
So before we head out
and do our investigation,
which is going to be dangerous
because it's going to be
very dark out there.
It's gonna be windy.
It's gonna be unpredictable.
-Yeah.
-Yeah.
The ocean's unpredictable,
and we're doing
a lot of investigation
out off the cliffs.
I want to make sure
that we are all plugged in
with all
the accurate information
of whatever spirits
we do come into contact with.
Did you come up
with anything else
about this
Native American element?
Yeah.
It absolutely makes sense,
and it makes sense why
this area could be so haunted.
[ Tribal chanting ]
The Chinook tribe lived here
for 2,500 years,
before even settlers
came out here.
-Wow.
-So this was their land,
and they're actually
very peaceful people.
They worshipped the land.
They worshipped the animals.
Very spiritual.
They believed everything was
a gift from a higher power,
the Greater Spirit,
things like that.
So in the 1790s,
they estimated
16,000 Chinook Indians
lived in this area.
-Wow. That's a lot.
-JAY: 16,000.
In 1805, when Lewis and Clark
came here on their expeditions,
they counted 400.
By 1830, within 25 years...
-Yeah.
...after settlers came here,
there were only 30 to 40 left.
Most of the others
were dead,
victims of infectious disease
introduced by the Whites.
ZAK: God.
♪♪
And Lewis and Clark,
they did the counting
on Cape Disappointment.
-JAY: Mm-hmm.
-On where...
JAY AND ZAK:
On Cape Disappointment.
-Yeah.
-Wow.
And remember what Wendy said...
-Yeah.
-...and the visions that
she was getting of the Chinook.
-Yeah.
Coming down, originally,
in the forest,
I felt a Native American
set of spirits in there.
Aaron, real quick,
before we go...
Yes?
...'cause we gotta
get going, guys.
You wanted to go back
to Mary again?
Yeah, let's go to Mary.
I want to go back to Mary
because you know their letter?
Yeah, that we were reading
with Barbara?
Well, I was reading
this little quote.
It goes, "I see where I have
been wrong in many great ways."
ZAK: See, I was unable to make
that out in her handwriting.
ADAM: Right.
"Please, God, I will try
and change and do better."
Why did she say...
What did she do wrong?
Why would she address
to God that,
"I've done
some very bad things"?
BILLY: Right.
AARON: "And I'll try
to do better."
What are the bad things
that she's done?
♪♪
This is such a good story
to be involved in.
-Mm-hmm.
-But it just happens to be
submerged in an already
spiritual cake of history...
Right.
-JAY: Yeah.
-...of Native Americans...
Right.
...of the Graveyard
of the Pacific,
the Vandalia, the nine...
We have a lot of
different dark history...
-Yeah.
-...that could lead to what
we're gonna come into
contact with.

ZAK:
Before our investigation,
Billy wants to share with us
the Spirit Box voices
we captured earlier
in the lighthouse keeper's home.
We've got Mary, the head
lighthouse keeper's wife.
Did she die of a suicide,
did she die from an accident,
or was there even more
to the story that we don't know?
A lot of suspicious things
in the letter that she wrote...
-BILLY: Yeah.
-...the day before she died.
A lot of suspicious things.
So when Wendy
came through here,
and she started telling us
about an angry male
that's in this house...
-AARON: Yeah.
...that would be
Mary's husband.
In Mary's letter,
she does reference her husband.
She wrote this letter
right here,
at this table, and she says,
"As I'm writing this,
my husband is right over there."
-Like, it's just...
-Weird.
...it doesn't add up,
but for Wendy to say that
there's an angry
male presence in here...
I sensed a very frustrated
angry being.
And then we get these voices.
You've had a chance
to analyze them.
Is there evidence
that her husband is here,
and is he angry?
We heard his voice
come through.
Right.
You were in here by yourself
and heard it.
-Yep.
-And now I've heard them
'cause I went over
the voices.
I want to hear
what these voices say.
But before you start
playing 'em,
how many different spirits
did we capture here,
and what are their sexes?
Male and a female.
We captured a male
and a female?
-Distinctly.
-AARON: Yeah.
How surprising.
So we're speculating here
that we captured Mary's voice
and her husband.
-BILLY: Mm-hmm.
-I want to hear the first voice.
Okay,
here's the first one.
[ Oscillating static ]
WOMAN'S VOICE: Someone coming.
Whoa!
Very distinct female voice.
Go ahead.
[ Oscillating static ]
-Whoa! [ Chuckles ]
-Hold on. Hold on.
[ Oscillating static ]
I hear, "Someone coming."
Yep.
[ High-pitched voice ]
"Someone coming."
-That's what I hear.
[ Oscillating static ]
Yep. You can hear it like,
"coming."
-Let me hear it.
[ Oscillating static ]
Very clearly, "Someone coming."
-Yep.
Is this Mary? This is...
-It's a woman's voice.
-This is chilling.
-It's a woman's voice.
-And you captured this?
I think it is.
I captured that.
After she says,
"Someone coming"...
Yeah.
...remember, in her letter,
she goes,
"As I'm writing this, my husband
is right over there."
-He's coming.
-Is he coming?
-Right. And she came --
-Oh, my God, dude.
-I just got --
-BILLY: Does...
Did it get cold right now
or what?
She just came through.
Does a man's...Oh, wow.
-It's freezing right here.
-Hold on. Holy cow.
Oh, my God. It is!
Jay, get over here.
All up and down my body
right now.
ZAK: Dude, feel this.
All of a sudden, as we play who
we believe to be Mary's voice,
one of the coldest masses
of energy we've ever felt
aggressively moves in
towards us.
We then hear a very loud
snarl-type sound,
and that's when something
very scary happens.
Did you hear that?
Did you hear that?
Holy...
-It was like, "Eh..."
-JAY: Yeah.
Tell me we caught that.
[ Mel meter clatters ]
Tell me we caught that.
-Dude, holy [Bleep].
What the hell?
-It goes... [ Laughs evilly ]

felt like this guy
jumped right in me.

-JAY: Oh, yeah.
-AARON: I'm shaking, dude.
I'm, like, frozen to...
I felt that thing, too.
The second we played
her voice...[Bleep]
And then we got preoccupied
with what she said.
JAY: Well, did you hear
the voice?
There was a voice coming
from right behind you, Zak.
-Sit down.
-Right before you did that,
something goes...
[ Laughs evilly ]
-Yeah.
-You heard that, right?
-I heard it in my own ears.
-Think about it.
We didn't even get to hear
his voice yet.
No. He's probably trying
to stop us.
BILLY: He didn't like us
playing her voice at all,
and his aggression was --
-And what did the girl say?
"It's coming.
Someone is coming."
-JAY: Yeah.
-BILLY: Right.
I hear, "Someone coming."
I gotta, uh...break.
I-I just gotta break this
real quick.

images of spirits in the past,
I have never had long,

in the North Head Lighthouse.
We're getting some great
responses from the Spirit Box,
so I found this in
a local shop.
It's a 1950s
Zenith Transoceanic Radio.
So this radio was used on boats
in the 1950s.
Being this is a lighthouse

coming around here,
we could dial into
specific frequencies
that sailors would use

it has a huge antenna.

to hopefully make contact

an old distress signal --

Before our investigation,
Billy wants to share with us
the Spirit Box voices
we captured earlier
in the lighthouse keeper's home.
We've got Mary, the head
lighthouse keeper's wife.
Did she die of a suicide,
did she die from an accident,
or was there even more
to the story that we don't know?
A lot of suspicious things
in the letter that she wrote...
-BILLY: Yeah.
-...the day before she died.
A lot of suspicious things.
So when Wendy
came through here,
and she started telling us
about an angry male
that's in this house...
-AARON: Yeah.
...that would be
Mary's husband.
In Mary's letter,
she does reference her husband.
She wrote this letter
right here,
at this table, and she says,
"As I'm writing this,
my husband is right over there."
-Like, it's just...
-Weird.
...it doesn't add up,
but for Wendy to say that
there's an angry
male presence in here...
I sensed a very frustrated
angry being.
And then we get these voices.
You've had a chance
to analyze them.
Is there evidence
that her husband is here,
and is he angry?
We heard his voice
come through.
Right.
You were in here by yourself
and heard it.
-Yep.
-And now I've heard them
'cause I went over
the voices.
I want to hear
what these voices say.
But before you start
playing 'em,
how many different spirits
did we capture here,
and what are their sexes?
Male and a female.
We captured a male
and a female?
-Distinctly.
-AARON: Yeah.
How surprising.
So we're speculating here
that we captured Mary's voice
and her husband.

We're getting some great
responses from the Spirit Box,

a local shop.
It's a 1950s
Zenith Transoceanic Radio.
So this radio was used on boats
in the 1950s.
Being this is a lighthouse
and all the ships
coming around here,
we could dial into
specific frequencies
that sailors would use
or ship captains would use,
things like that.

the frequencies
like a Spirit Box,

it has a huge antenna.
There's all tube amps
and things in the background.
It's actually

to hopefully make contact
