Ghost Adventures (2008–…): Season 20, Episode 10 - London Bridge - full transcript

This is an iconic investigation.

Aaron and I are inside
the london bridge.

What is going on here?

People committed suicide
off the bridge.

There was over 80 bodies
that we've found.

Five of them were children.

This bridge could be
insanely haunted.

- Did you just hear that?
- We just lost the drone.

There are things in this world

that we will never
fully understand.

Understand.



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.

This is our evidence...

Our ghost adventures.

In 1968, the london bridge

was moved here
to lake havasu city, arizona,

brick by brick.

And since then, there have
been countless reports

of paranormal activity,
some very malevolent.



Could the violent
residual energy

stored within the bridge
from its time in london

be fueled by
the hundreds of deaths

that have occurred
in the very body of water

that flow beneath it.

This may be the most deadly
900 feet of stone

that we have ever investigated.

Okay, so right now,
this is really cool.

We flew somebody in
from london, England,

to do an interview.

He's a historian.

He currently works
at the london bridge experience

in England and he just flew in

because this information
about the bridge's dark history

is so important and there's
so many different layers,

and I started going through it
just a little bit,

and then in complete shock
of just how dark

this bridge that was taken
from london and put here is.

But before we delve
into the dark history

of this historic bridge,

I've asked aaron and billy
to begin investigating

this structure's
interior chambers and tunnels

without knowing
any of the details

of its hauntings or history.

- So, billy, come in.
- Yeah, go ahead.

Have you got in yet?

Yeah, we're just
starting to do our intro.

Alright, right now, aaron and I

are inside the london bridge,

and zak wants us to
basically explore

and go from one end to the next
and see what we find.

We've got some equipment
in the bag.

We're going to see
if we can document

a few things along the way.

Ready?

Yeah.

Thank you for coming here.

This is an iconic
investigation of ours.

It's a very important
investigation of ours.

Tell me a little bit about
the bridge's history, this one.

Wasn't this one constructed in,
like, 1825 or something?

Yeah, absolutely, absolutely.

Well, it was built
back in the 1800s.

So, certainly the bridge itself

was stood up during
world war ii,

and so it's had a lot
of historical characters

walk over it during its history.

What is going on here?

Because a lot of people
would think

this is kind of crazy
for this bridge to be haunted

when it's not in its
original site in london.

But this is made out of granite.

And granite stores energy,
you know.

"the stone tape" theory.

So if this is
a residual energy going on

and I have my guys
inside the bridge

because it's hollow inside,

there's a lot of scary things
going on here

associated with the bridge.

The history of the bridge
goes all the way back

to roman times.

In actual fact there's been

a total of 10 bridges, really,
in different variations

over the history
of london bridge.

So a few of them
from the roman periods,

they were pontoon bridges.

All were very, very important
to the actual whole passage

into london.

Then we get the stories
of the vikings

and king olaf coming up
and very much pulling down

london bridge
and arrows raining down

upon his ships as he does so.

But the darker history
really sort of

comes really with the old bridge
with the houses of parliament.

The first stone bridge
was completed in 1209.

Some believe there is
a gruesome secret

buried in its very construction.

What is this thing they say

about some kind
of human sacrifice?

Well, a lot of people
say it's legend

and a bit of a bunkum, really.

However, in preparation to build
the tourist attraction

we have over in london,
we actually found human remains.

Immurement,
a form of imprisonment,

usually until death,
in which a person

is placed within an enclosed
space with no exits.

In some cultures,
immuring living persons

as a type of human sacrifice

is also part of their
grand burial ceremonies.

There was over 80 bodies
that we found,

five of them were children.

- 80?
- Yes.

Under the foundation
of what bridge?

- That bridge?
- London bridge.

Is it possible children
were entombed as an offering

to bring health and prosperity
to the london bridge?

Some believe a clue lies
in a medieval nursery rhyme.

- Bill?
- Yeah.

Look at this.

- What have you got?
- This is the archway.

Let's see.

Oh yeah, that is.

Yeah, and look, bats.

The bridge itself was
very famous

for its gatehouse
and the gatehouse itself

was very famous for displaying
heads upon spikes.

So we have all sorts of
wonderful historical characters

having their heads
put upon spikes.

The first one goes
all the way back

to william wallace
back in the 1300s.

- "braveheart"?
- Absolutely.

He got taken from
the point of incarceration,

dragged behind a horse

because you weren't worthy
to walk upon god's earth.

Then you were suspended
between heaven and hell

'cause they don't want
your spirit to pass over

to heaven or hell 'cause
your spirit was not worthy.

You were cut down,
you were drawn open.

Your inner organs
were brought out.

Your genitalia, unfortunately,

was chopped off and burnt.

Oh, man.

And then very much,
head would be removed,

the body would be quartered,
and then you'd be...

All of this
on the london bridge?

The actual execution itself

wouldn't take place
upon london bridge,

but the display
of the body parts would be.

The body parts,
after this barbaric killings?

Yes, yeah.

They would use the bridge
for the showcase,

the display case? Yeah. Yeah.

If you were coming into
one of the southern ports

of England, as you walk
across london bridge,

you're faced by
this big gatehouse

with all these heads
and body parts on it

facing down at you.

Now, are you going to stand
against the crown?

Are you going to break
the rules in the city?

- No.
- No.

Tragedy and death

have always been a part
of this structure's history.

This is gary asbury
of the london bridge

historical ghost tours.

Gary is well acquainted with
this bridge's malevolent past.

People committed suicide
off the bridge.

Most of them were dying from,

you know, venereal diseases,
starvation.

And the way they would
commit suicide off the bridge

is they would walk down
to the railing of the bridge

and they would
jump off head first.

And we were doing a recording
on the left side.

We had the lady in black,

and many people have reported
her and what she would do

is they would see her jump off.

We were doing evp's one night,

and we got a recording that
sounded like a woman crying,

and you could hear water
splashing, saying,

"both my legs are broke.
Help me."

and what we figured was instead

of jumping off the bridge
head first,

she jumped off the bridge
knees first

and broke her legs on the water

when she went onto
the river thames.

Wait! Wait! Wait! Wait!

London, late 1800s.

Jack the ripper
was one of the most

infamous serial killers
of all time.

The murders
may have gone unsolved,

but the legend has never died.

We've got a guy with a cape
and a black top hat

which is classic
jack the ripper.

It's almost certain
this bloodthirsty murderer

walked this very bridge.

Could his dark energy
be forever tied

to this massive structure?

Yeah, yeah, yes.

Okay.

You did?

So this is it. This is the
city of london, london bridge.

This is still just
blows my mind that this is here.

When England was at war
with France,

they ended up catching
napoleon bonaparte,

and they collected
all of his firearms

and they took the cannons
and anything made of iron

and they melted it all down.

And what they ended up doing...

So they're in these?

All of these old lamps are iron

from napoleon bonaparte.
What? Are you serious?

So these are
the cannons of napoleon?

Yes. All melted down.

So wait a minute. These lanterns
have killed a lot of people.

Right?

Have you had experiences with
ghosts on this bridge, spirits?

Not on the bridge,
but in the channel.

- I have.
- In the channel?

- Yep, yep.
- You have?

Yeah. There's a lot of
people that have died

in the channel here from
carbon monoxide poisoning

because of all the boaters that
come out here for spring break.

Really?

So all of the carbon
gets into the air,

and a lot of people
ended up drowning.

And some time in the '80s,

they were pulling bodies
out of the water

because of the carbon monoxide.

So is this why you think

people are seeing spirits
within the water?

Oh, yeah. There's been
a lot of death in the channel.

Uh-huh.

There was a whole bunch
of spirits

angrily telling us
to jump off the bridge.

This bridge could be
insanely haunted.

It's crazy right now
to look at this huge bridge

and to know that there's
hollow chambers inside of it

that nobody's allowed to go.

They're dangerous, physically,

and it's even crazier

to know that aaron and billy
are somewhere in that

climbing around.

It's the end
of the bridge. The wall.

- Oh, that's it?
- That's the last arch.

This is the last arch.
Does it seem to you

like it's getting way different
on this end of the bridge?

Yeah.

- Vega, right?
- Yep.

Okay.
So I want to know what happened.

You heard a spirit voice
when you were on the bridge.

- Is that correct?
- Yes.

Okay. Who were you with?

I was with my mom
and her boyfriend at the time.

Okay. What did you hear?

We were just up there,
and, like,

there was a whole bunch
of male spirits

angrily telling us
to jump off the bridge.

Okay. Can you tell me exactly?

Did it say
"jump off the bridge"?

Or did it say "jump"?
It just said, "jump,"

and then there was another one
that said, "jump off."

- did that freak you out?
- Yeah.

At that time that you
were hearing this,

did you feel anything?

It did feel very
uncomfortable and queasy,

like, you can tell there's
something not right there.

It was just very uncomfortable.

The bridge is right
behind you right now.

What section?
Was it, like, in the center,

or was it towards this side
or that side?

It was towards
that side over there.

Okay. Was it towards the end?

- Mm-hmm.
- It was towards the end?

- Yeah.
- Of that side of the bridge?

- Uh-huh.
- Well, I just met with

a historian who told me that
that side of the bridge,

in london, underneath is
where the vault was

where there still is,
to this day,

the remains of about 80 people

that they have no idea
how or why they died.

At this very moment,
aaron and billy exit the bridge

at the very point
where vega heard the voices

and the bodies were found.

I'm going to go up here.

Okay.

It's like we just went
through something totally...

Dude, that was
the weirdest feeling.

Get these off.

Keep in mind, without knowing
the history of this bridge,

they have no idea
the significance

of this section
of the structure.

- You okay?
- No.

I was shaking like I've just...

Panic. Pure panic.

It was the weirdest
thing dude, seriously.

Well, what did you hear? 'cause
I didn't hear what you heard.

Oh.

Dude...

Unh-unh.

- I heard it, dude.
- Really?

Sorry, I don't...

All I heard is it go,
like "you, again".

And my head said, "you, again",
but what I heard was "you."

and as soon as we got out here,
all of a sudden,

I just started getting shaky

and I just ripped that off.

Like, oh, god.

It was like, oh, I don't know.

I'm irritable.

Yeah, you're very irritable.

Very irritable.

You feel a little better?
I mean, maybe...

I don't feel normal.

I feel like a little panic rage.

Something there got you.

- Don't worry about it.
- Alright.

I don't know.
I can't think right.

So we know that there's a lot of
dark history about the bridge.

You guys don't know
the details of it

because you were
inside the bridge.

Right.

But I found out
a lot of dark details

about the bridge and the reason

why I think it's so haunted

and why people here
in lake havasu

are having these experiences
and seeing apparitions.

I want to talk to you
about a guy,

his name is wayne,

and wayne is having surgery.

He was supposed to talk with us,

but he can't 'cause he just
had a really major transplant.

Wow.

So I want to share with you guys

some details that this guy,
wayne, who belongs to

the london bridge yacht club,
experienced.

On Friday nights,
the club takes out

a 52-foot boat
for drinks and dinner.

His father-in-law and him

were on the top deck
of the boat.

He said it was a chilly evening.

I looked out and saw
this strange creature

swimming by the boat.

I mean the event lasted maybe
30, 45 seconds, and then gone.

Then it came up swimming again.

This time it lasted
maybe 30 seconds

before it went under
and was gone.

Now, I know these waters well.

Me and my father-in-law, we
couldn't believe what we saw.

And then he said
on another occasion,

they were cruising
under the bridge.

I saw this black smoky mass
just floating under the bridge,

but hovering above the water.

And he said that
it's not like anything

that he's ever seen before.

These are two separate
eye witness accounts

that brings us
to this investigation

that this isn't just a bridge
we're investigating.

It's also the water beneath it.

So I got to run upstairs
real quick on the roof here

and go meet with jay

because he has some information

that I need about deaths
in this water.

- Hey, jay.
- Hey.

I know that lake havasu
is dangerous

but let's get into
some of the details

about the deaths that happened
right here in this water.

Yeah. So I mean, even
just for being here

and talking to people,
everyone keeps telling us,

like "oh, yeah.
There's tons of deaths.

There's been crashes."

so I started doing some research

and I found one kind of
crazy story

was back in 2017,

which wasn't really
that long ago.

It was a single boat accident.

One boat flipped on its own.

The man died,
and the woman went missing.

The creepy thing
is the woman's body

didn't show up until later on,

and then they finally found
the body way later.

There's multiple articles.
She was missing for a while.

Yeah. Last night I was down here

amongst the locals
and somebody was telling me

about a boat accident that
killed like six or seven people.

Right.

Why does lake havasu
seem to be plagued

by such an unnatural
amount of tragedy?

And is all of this death
fueling the energy

brought here from london,

trapped within
these very stones?

I never thought I would
be in the desert

in arizona

looking at a bridge from london.

And you know what?

I never knew this investigation

was going to be so intense

and the discoveries
of information

that we are learning about

is really making sense
to me that,

yes, this bridge could be
insanely haunted.

It's so still out here.

It's like an eerie calm.

- Oh!
- Oh, man.

Okay, we are going to
start our investigation

of the london bridge.

Billy and I,
we're going to start off here

on this roof top deck.

And we are going to do
some visual surveillance

with some infrared binoculars.

And we're just going to scan
the bridge up and down

because we have heard reports
and I even talked to somebody

who told me that they do see
a lot of apparitions

go up and down this bridge.

So we're going to start
with this,

and while we're here,

aaron and jay are suiting up,

getting ready to start their
investigation inside the bridge.

And then after billy
and I finish with this,

we're going to head down
to the water.

We have a boat, and we are going
to do our investigation

of the water underneath
the bridge.

They gave you
the key to this place?

Aaron, you okay?

Oh, wow.

With frequent reports
of phantom figures

hovering across
the bridge in groups,

I begin using these high-powered
infrared binoculars

to try and document this claim.

So quiet.

Do you see anything?

No. I scanned the bridge
I don't know how many times.

I didn't see anything.
I didn't see any figures.

So I think it's a good time
to head down there now.

Let's jump in the boat

and carry out
our investigation in the water

and underneath the bridge
and see what happens.

Let's do it.

As the guys head deeper and
deeper into the london bridge,

they face many
dangerous obstacles

while trying to move around
in total darkness.

My senses are heightened,

but I'm not feeling
anything paranormal in here.

- Keep on going?
- Yeah.

The guys unknowingly capture
this strange mist line anomaly

hovering along the floor.

Billy and I now board
our pontoon boat

to begin our investigation
of the mysterious claims

by a london bridge yacht club
member,

witnessing some type of creature
swimming under the bridge

and a black mass
hovering above the water.

I saw this black smoky mass
just floating under the bridge.

We'll also continue surveillance

for the apparition claims
on top of the bridge.

So billy and I rigged
a full-spectrum camera

in the front of the boat

as well as a night vision
x camera to scan

whatever is in front of us
along the water.

But once we get out
into the water,

we are going to be doing
something underneath the water

using a submersible drone.

This is unique.
This is adventurous.

Let's do this.

It's so still out here.
It's like an eerie calm.

The water's like glass,
as you can see right there.

- Like glass.
- Yeah.

It's just crazy to be out here.

There's nobody else
on the water,

and right now,
we're just turning around

and you can see
the london bridge now.

You've been transferred to
the other side of the continent.

- Oh the hell was that?!
- Oh!

Did you just hear that?

I felt something go like this.

Oh!

As our lock down
intensifies here in lake havasu,

aaron just had
a chilling encounter

while calling out to the spirits
within the bridge.

The other side of the continent.

- Oh the hell was that?!
- Oh!

What was that?

Oh, geez.

Oh, god.

You've been transported to
the other side of the continent.

Oh!

The other side of the continent.

Oh! The hell was that?

Aaron decides to start sweeping
the tunnels and chambers

with the sls camera.

Don't be shy.

On cue, a floating figure

incredibly appears to be
hovering up near the ceiling

and as jay asks it to appear
again, watch what happens.

Oh

Incredibly, the figure
appears again on cue,

appearing to be free
floating and clear

from any possible
background matrixing...

Truly compelling evidence.

Could these spirits be connected
to the countless human remains

that were discovered
underneath the foundation

when this bridge
was moved here from london?

And there was over 80 bodies
that we found,

five of them were children.

As billy and I are in the middle
of the lake havasu channel,

I begin scanning the bridge
with a thermal camera.

At this moment, we capture
something very unusual

traveling across the bridge.

We cannot explain what
this dark ring-type shape is.

At first, we think it may just
be a bat or a bird

flying in the far distance,
however,

this is what a bat looks like
as shown here in orange color

representing body heat.

Also, notice the bat does not
have a dark ring around it

like the unexplained
anomaly does.

Now we are not concluding
this is paranormal.

We will tag it "inconclusive."

As jay sees the water
beneath him through a crack,

aaron captures the figure again.

You see that? That's water
all the way down there.

It's right next to you. Jay?

It's on your right.

It's on that side,
on my right side.

It's actually reaching
for your head!

It's like hitting
your head, dude.

Oh, I got the chills.

Not only does this figure
appear right next to jay,

but it also seems to be doing
something to him with its arms.

It is ice cold.

What is this?!

Did you just hear that?!

Dude, what was that?

Aaron and jay hear
a blood-curdling scream,

and what makes this
even more terrifying

is that billy and I
never hear any screams outside.

It is ice cold.

What is this?!

What is this?!

What was that?

I heard something move,
and I thought I saw something.

It was like a little bit
of ambient light

at the end of the tunnel.

Oh!

What was that?

Aaron, what the...

- Crap!
- What happened?!

My camera's down.
There's something.

Hold on. Oh, hang on.

What was that?

It was scratching at the wall?

Yeah.

Dude...

Okay, we just lost the drone.
It's under the boat.

This thing has a mind
of its own.

Look, look.

As our investigation
continues here

at the london bridge,

we're about to begin
a brand-new experiment.

Billy and I now decide to use
our underwater submersible drone

to see what lies beneath
the surface of the water,

while also investigating
the eyewitness report

of something unidentifiable
swimming under the bridge.

We looked down and saw
this strange creature

swimming by the boat.

Tested this in my bathtub
in my hotel room.

Trying to figure this thing out.

Dive.

Alright so this
is a underwater drone.

There's a camera
on the front of this device

that's going to be
shooting facing forward.

It's got led lights
that we can control,

and it's got propulsion devices

that allow it to sink,
go up, and down.

Just like a drone in the sky,
but underwater.

We're using it to try and see
what's under the water.

Maybe we'll come across
a creature.

We don't know
what we're going to find.

Okay.

This is what the drone
is seeing.

That's the underwater shot.
See the particles.

Alright.

Oh

What did you do?

I don't know, but is the motor
shut off on this thing?

Yeah.

It appears that billy's lack

of underwater submersible drone
operation experience

is severely affecting
our investigation.

Okay. We just lost the drone.
It's under the boat.

Hold on.

There it is.

It hasn't even been
a few minutes,

and we can't get the submersible
drone out from under our boat.

There it is. There it is.

- There it is.
- There.

There you go, go forward.

Geez. This is not like
a regular drone,

and someone has to mind
the cable, too.

What the...

Dude, this thing is not
easy to control.

Hold on.

Oh, my god.

This damn underwater drone
is scaring me

more than any creatures.

This thing has
a mind of its own.

Look. Look.

It's doing flips,
making creepy noises.

While billy and I
keep trying to figure out

how to operate this thing,

we'll check in on jay and aaron

who are setting up a laser grid.

Whoa!

As jay asks the spirit
to come closer,

the laser device detects
something in the distance

that disrupts the laser beam.

Could this be
the same intelligent spirit

that also showed itself
on command with the sls?

Can you show
yourself to us again?

Oh there it is!

Back on the boat, I decide
to take over the controls

of the submersible, and while we
search underwater

investigating
claims of a creature,

I want to also scan
to see if anything

is laying on the bottom
under the bridge

that may contribute
to the mysterious phenomenon

associated with
the london bridge.

There you go. Lookit.

Lookit, you're going
straight down.

What the was that?

I see something moving
over there.

Steer, steer, steer.

It's just after 2:00 a.M.,

and we are about to explore
the unchartered territory

beneath the london bridge.

That thing just went down.

- Scanning the bottom right now.
- Oh, that's awesome.

That is cool, man,
you're right on the bottom.

Just keep creeping along.
Now you're heading towards...

What's weird is it wants
to pop back up, you notice that?

Yeah.

No, you were doing good.

I want to get back down there.

- There's the ground.
- Whoa! Yeah, there's the ground.

- Now I come back.
- Oh, that's cool, look at that.

That's awesome.

We aren't seeing anything
so far,

no remains of any bodies,

no weapons that may have
been thrown off the bridge.

No shipwrecks, no treasure
chests and no mermaids.

Who knows? When we watch
this footage later,

we might capture something,
a glimpse of something

that we're not seeing right now.

- There's something.
- Yeah, hang on.

Now it should show you
a shot of the ground.

As we continue to search
for anything underwater,

I see a dark mass
under the bridge near the dock.

And as I scramble to try
to capture it on camera,

the lens won't focus.

Oh there's something.

I see something
moving over there.

Give me a different camera.

Hurry up.

Steer, steer, steer.
Go that way.

As I grab a different camera,

we can now see
a dark figure being captured.

The unknown figure then appears
to move to the left

as we capture a second figure.

We want to be very clear
that we are not confirming

these figures to be paranormal,

as it could just be
a couple of people watching us.

However, at this time,
we just can't explain it.

We now rush to the dock
while using our thermal camera

to try to debunk these figures
as two living people.

And as we dock the boat
and disembark,

we begin searching everywhere.

Look, we can't say what I saw
was a spirit, a ghost,

but I can't say that it was,
for sure,

a living person either.

So this is inconclusive,

and we're going to leave it
at that.

As aaron and jay continue
to go further inside the bridge,

they hear and capture
another unexplained scream.

Well, we keep hearing you,
we keep seeing you.

There has to be something
that this shows up.

It can't be human, right?

The bodies that they found in
the foundation of this bridge,

how did they die?

Were they a sacrifice
to some kind of entity?

Some kind of god
or some kind of creature?

What the is that?

These screams, again,

were not heard
or captured outside the bridge.

We believe they are
residual sounds

stored within
the granite blocks...

Truly amazing audio evidence.

The bodies that they found in
the foundation of this bridge,

how did they die,
some kind of creature?

Our investigation of this
incredible iconic structure

that was moved here all the way
from london, England,

has proved to us that
these residual screams,

incredible figures
and unknown evidence

substantiate the many claims

that this bridge was haunted
while in london

and it still is to this day

here at lake havasu, arizona.

This structure,
colossal in size,

is matched only by the massive
energy stored within it.
