Ghost Nation (2019–…): Season 2, Episode 2 - An Unholy Haunting - full transcript
Jason, Steve, Dave and Shari head to Waynesville, Ohio, to investigate claims of paranormal activity at a former Catholic church. The team suspects a disgraced priest may be behind the scratches, bizarre apparitions and chilling EVPs.
Next, on "Ghost Nation"...
We bought this church
built in 1877.
I started doing renovations.
That's when all hell
broke loose.
Out of shame and guilt,
the priest locked the child
away in the basement.
I actually saw the little boy.
One of the neighbors told us
about a triple ax murder.
Blood soaked everything.
Our oldest daughter
won't live with us
because she's terrified.
That was a loud male voice.
"Hallowed be thy name."
We're not alone.
Can you let us know
that you're here?
What the hell?
"There is something else
in this house."
Make some sort of a noise.
Let us know you're here with us.
I'm right beside you.
We are a community of searchers.
This family is under attack.
We are...
..."Ghost Nation."
We've traveled to the village
of Waynesville, Ohio,
to investigate
some unusual claims
coming out of
a former Catholic church.
The local investigator
who called us in
to help on this case is
an established member of UPRO,
who teaches a weekly class
on the paranormal
at a museum
in the heart of town.
People see this, and they think,
"Oh, it's a camcorder."
Well, it's not just a camcorder.
It's a full-spectrum camcorder,
so this actually sees
what our eyes can't see.
I got some special friends that
I'd like to introduce you to.
We got Steve Gonsalves,
Jason Hawes.
We have Dave Tango.
Guys?
What sort of advice
can you offer to the class?
I would say don't think
everything is a ghost, you know?
Have your common sense
and wits about you
and knowing
what you're looking at.
I agree, and just go
in understanding
that most claims are able to be
disproved as something else.
Bring a flashlight, number one.
Don't trip.
Thanks again for coming out.
Adam and Jona Powell
is the client's name.
They've been having a lot
of activity going on.
From what you said,
this is a church
being converted into a house?
Yes. They bought it as their
dream home, plus her business.
Doing the investigation,
I had the thermal.
We were outside by the shrine,
and this was sitting inside.
That was inside the shrine?
Yes.
Almost looks like the arms
are crossed or something.
So, that's it inside,
and I actually got a EVP.
We were in the basement,
and I'll share this with you.
Where did you go?
What I got is, "Hey, help me,"
like, "Help me, hey."
It's, like, using any energy
it can to get it out.
Scroll back to the beginning.
You'll hear it. Listen.
Where did you go?
Hello?
You said that a sensitive
had picked up some stuff.
I had my medium come in.
He walked the building.
He actually picked up a priest
in the '30s -- 1930s.
Hmm.
Did he pick up a name
with this priest?
Yes. Jim.
Okay.
And then he picked up a boy
about 8, 10 years old,
named Thomas,
picked him up in the basement.
Everybody has different feelings
on sensitives.
I actually saw the little boy.
My medium was saying
that Priest Jim
was having an affair
with someone.
From this town?
From this town.
Okay. And Thomas was his son.
So, did the boy supposedly die
at the location?
He picked up that the boy
had a tragic accident
in the basement,
and that's where he passed.
So, what do the family think
is going on?
They believe the activity
is being caused
by the priest, Jim,
and the little boy, Thomas.
They put all their heart
and soul into this building
to make it their home,
into their business,
and the 18-year-old daughter
doesn't even stay
on the property.
She stays with the grandma.
Okay.
How close is the place?
From here, it's just
a half a mile down the road.
You want to ride with us?
Sounds good.
Here we are, guys.
It's right there.
Oh, it looks like a church.
Yeah.
We're meeting
with Adam and Jona Powell
in the main church area
of their property
that they've converted
into an antique shop
and a printing business.
Hey, how are you?
I'm Jason.
It's our job to get to
the bottom of the disturbances
that are terrifying this family.
Welcome. Come on in.
All right.
So, this is obviously what was
the church and is now your shop.
Have either of you had
any experiences
with the paranormal
prior to coming here?
No.
Oh, no.
Did you believe in it
before coming here?
Kind of skeptical, to be honest.
Actually, a big skeptic.
This place kind of
changed my mind.
You know, we've always said
that a skeptic is just somebody
who's never had
a paranormal experience yet.
When we bought this building,
we loved the history
surrounding it.
We knew it was a church
built in 1877.
The architecture
was beautiful --
the original floors.
It was everything my wife
and I wanted.
It was her dream house.
The plan was to renovate
the church here
so that we could live
in the church
and run our business out of it.
I started doing renovations.
That's when all hell
broke loose.
Within a week,
we started hearing footsteps...
...whispers...
...elevating from there
to shadows.
The most active area
is the main church area.
We'll hear candles drop and bang
and then roll across the floor.
We'd always hear the front door
opening and closing.
Each door has a 4-pound
counterweight,
so they should not
be able to open,
but on a regular basis,
we'll hear these doors open
and close on their own.
The activity in our house
could be one of the priests
that was here.
Being an old church,
it makes sense
that they were attached
to this building.
One of the most active areas
is in the basement.
We've also heard
a young child crying.
There's a shrine that was built
with the church
in 1877 in the backyard.
And we hear voices by it.
We brought in Lee,
a local paranormal investigator.
During an investigation,
it was rather
cold outside that evening,
and that's when we picked
up the thermal image...
...that was in the shape
of a priest.
It was startling.
And nobody was standing there.
It was just empty space.
As part of Lee's investigation,
he brought in a medium.
And the medium sensed the priest
had an illegitimate child
named Thomas...
out of shame and guilt,
the priest locked the child
away in the basement...
...he kept the boy
a total secret, hidden away,
and that the child died
of an accident at a young age.
My wife runs a small print
business out of this church.
One night,
I was printing shirts,
and I just felt completely
uncomfortable.
Somebody was watching me.
I knew I was not alone.
I was standing up at the press,
and all of a sudden,
I just felt a huge rush
come up behind me,
and I felt something
sharp on my arm.
I pulled back my sleeve,
and there was this
long scratch mark.
Adam and I both
watched it turn red,
so we knew it had just happened.
It was terrifying.
The activity has escalated
so much that now,
it's coming after me.
There's something trapped here,
and we're not alone.
The most traumatic thing
of this whole experience is
our oldest daughter
won't live with us
because she's terrified.
It's been devastating,
knowing that you are not
providing your child
with a safe home.
That's what's parents do,
and we are not doing that,
so that's why we need help.
We cannot go on living
like this.
I heard that you guys also had
a sensitive come in?
When the medium came in,
he actually came up with Jim.
Okay, so he didn't come up
with a last name.
It was just the first.
Mm-hmm.
So, then we reached out
to the archdiocese
and got a list of priests that
was assigned to this location.
In the 1920s,
- there was actually a priest named
James O'Brien. - James O'Brien.
That had been
in this church prior.
What are you all hoping
that we're able
to accomplish here for you?
We want to know if we're safe,
because it's getting physical.
We want to know what's here.
We want to be comfortable in our
own house, basically, you know?
Right now, we're not.
We'll do everything we can
for you.
Thank you for your help.
Thank you very much.
The Powells have agreed
to close up shop
and vacate the property
for a week
so we can investigate
the paranormal activity
they're experiencing
and analyze the evidence
that Lee has collected.
Plug it in over here, Dave.
We're going to set up a camera
in each of
the paranormal hot spots...
Just make sure the I.R.
doesn't blast each other.
...one in the main church...
Ready to connect.
...one in the basement...
Dave, we can put it over there
'cause this is
where they saw it.
...and in the backyard.
You can cover a wide area.
Longtime paranormal investigator
Shari DeBenedetti
has joined our team
to help monitor cameras
and review evidence.
Awesome.
While Shari keeps an eye
on the monitors...
Let's do it!
To the basement!
...Tango is heading
down to the basement
to look for evidence
that supports the crying
heard by the homeowners...
This is Tango in the basement.
...and the EVP
that Lee recorded.
Hello?
Is your name Thomas?
It's really no place
for a little boy to be.
If your name is Thomas,
can you let me know somehow?
Are you trapped down here?
Jay and Steve,
heading into a church --
Waynesville, Ohio.
In here we have the main area.
This is the room
where Jona was scratched.
Jim O'Brien?
Is there a reason
that you're in this church?
Was that you
that scratched Jona?
Were you trying
to get her attention?
Are you here with us,
James O'Brien?
Are you living in this church?
We're not here to bother you,
scare you.
We're not even here
to ask you to leave.
Hello?
That was a sentence --
like, a full sentence.
We're not here to bother you,
scare you.
We're not even here
to ask you to leave.
Hello?
That was a sentence,
like, a full sentence.
That was a loud male voice.
Let me just make sure no one's
next to the front door.
Whoo!
It's like every hair on the back
of my neck standing up.
I mean, this would be
the only place
sound could have
traveled in from.
Nobody.
All right.
That was a sentence --
like a full sentence.
That was **** loud.
That was loud.
There is nobody outside,
Jay, at all.
Dude, my **** hands are shaking.
We're not here
to bother you, scare you.
We're not even here
to ask you to leave.
Jay to Dave.
Can you come up to the main
church area for a second?
Yeah, I'm on my way.
Man, I would love to know
what it says.
If we could figure out
what it's saying,
I mean, that legitimately
could change the course
of our investigation.
Hey.
There was a voice.
What?
And it's frigging loud.
What? You can hear it?
You got it on recorder?
Yeah.
Wow.
I think we're gonna go
in there and listen to it.
All right. Great.
I want to hear this.
We're not even here
to ask you to leave.
"Hallowed be thy name."
"Hallowed be thy name."
Oh, my God. There's no way you
could pick it up like this.
Play it again.
Holy ****.
Holy ****.
That's clear as hell.
Holy ****.
That was loud.
That was extremely loud.
Our father, who art in Heaven,
hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come.
Thy will be done on Earth
as it is in Heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread
and forgive us our trespasses
as we forgive those
who trespass against us.
Yeah.
After recording
a disembodied voice
saying a line
from the Lord's Prayer
during last night's
investigation,
we sent Tango out to see
what information he can find
about the priest and child
whose presence
Lee's sensitive picked up.
Meanwhile, Steve and I
will check out
the counterweight
on the front door
that the Powells claimed
to hear opening
and shutting on its own.
John?
Thank you so much
for meeting me.
I really appreciate it.
You know why I'm here.
We're trying to help
a family out.
They're having some strange
occurrences in their home.
The family themselves
did some research,
and they found
the name James O'Brien.
Do you know this name at all?
Was this an actual priest?
I'm familiar with that name
from historical readings.
I assume he was a priest here,
but I can't tell you for sure
because that was before my time.
Right.
The priest, Jim --
now maybe James O'Brien --
had an affair, had a child,
kept that child
secret in the basement.
Is there any truth
to that at all?
That's a pretty serious
accusation.
I can't confirm that's true
or not true.
Okay.
Any historical records
we have at this point
would be in the office.
We've just
cleaned out our library,
but I'm certain that you're
more than welcome
to take a look in there
if you so desire.
I would appreciate that very much.
Okay.
Do you think this piece of wood
might ever get crooked
and get stuck in this?
Oh, absolutely.
Hello.
Hi.
I heard that you were doing
an investigation in town.
Well, thanks for stopping by.
There's rumors all over town
about ghosts in every building.
Anything you can tell us
about this area?
Yes.
In 1879, a horrible thing
happened here in Waynesville.
Three women were ax-murdered...
and had their throats slit.
Ooh!
The mystery of this whole thing
revolves around a young man
named Willie Anderson,
his mother,
her sister, and daughter.
Willie went in the house and
ax-murdered these three women.
The bodies were still
in the house for a week
until they pried open
the doors and the windows,
and they said it was the most
ghastly thing they'd ever seen.
Could never get the blood
out of the floorboards.
Next morning, the railroad
people found Willie
shot in the head,
and they said it was suicide.
And how far is that from here,
do you think?
Down this street, and it's three
or four doors down.
It's literally just a rock's
throw right over there.
Hey, hold on a second.
- I'm gonna put you on speakerphone.
- Okay.
I got Tango here.
So, I got some information.
There is an actual
James O'Brien.
So, what years was he actually
here at this church?
1936 and '37.
Okay, and the psychic said
the child was,
what, 8 years old?
Eight.
That would mean he would have
had to have had the child,
what, in 1928?
Right.
But where was he in 1928?
I actually found the obituary
for James O'Brien.
During the time he was supposed
to have a secret child,
he was posted in Switzerland.
In 1928?
Right.
The whole time line
just does not match up.
Yeah, it doesn't make sense.
Yeah, and how do you
hide a kid for 8 years?
It's funny.
We had one of the neighbors
over here show up
while Steve and I
were checking out the door,
but she told us about a murder,
a triple ax murder
that happened in 1879
only about 100 yards
from this building.
Oh, my God.
Let's use that tonight
and see what happens.
I agree. All right.
See you soon, buddy.
All right.
See you soon.
She was selling a lot
of that information.
It's a classic case of taking
what a sensitive said
and taking it as fact...
And running with it.
...and running with it
when there's no fact behind it.
Hey, Willie!
Are you here?
We'd really like to talk to you
about some things that you did.
We're in Waynesville, Ohio,
investigating a former
Catholic church
that the Powells purchased
to remodel into their dream
home and family business.
Welcome.
Come on in.
But frightening,
unexplained activity
has torn this family apart.
Our oldest daughter --
she won't live with us
because she's terrified.
The Powells believe
what they are experiencing
is caused by the spirits of a
priest and his illegitimate son,
who was trapped on the property.
The child died of an accident
at a young age.
But our research uncovered
a conflict
in the time line of events,
allowing us to rule out
this possibility.
During the time he was supposed
to have a secret child,
he was posted in Switzerland.
We then learned
about a triple ax murder...
...that happened in a home
right nearby back in 1879.
Just blood soaked everything.
So, now we're trying to
contact the murderer, Willie Anderson.
Hey, Willie.
Are you here?
We'd really like to talk to you
about some things that you did.
Willie?
We know that you see
this as a church.
Are you maybe here
to try to get some forgiveness
for what you did?
Um...
This was in the garage, right?
And they were killed with an ax.
Willie, we have an object
that you are familiar with,
I'm sure.
You see what my friend
Steve here has in his hands?
This has likeness of the weapon
that you used
when you chopped up your family.
Willie, what you did
was horrendous.
Willie, we'd like to know
how this ax makes you feel.
Can you take it from me?
This place seems like it's
pretty active. It does.
So, there's a good chance --
hopefully, a good chance --
that we caught something
on the recorder.
Yeah, well,
let's let it keep rolling.
After reviewing our evidence
from last night's investigation,
we decided to dig deeper
into the history of this town
and the Powells' property.
Our research has led us
to a local historian
whose family traces back to the
earliest days of Waynesville.
Milton? Yeah.
Its nice to meet you.
I'm Dave. Pleasure to meet you.
Nice to meet you.
Thank you for making some time
to meet up with us.
We're helping the Powell family,
and we're just wondering a lot
about the property and the area.
Well, the Quakers first
moved to Waynesville
in the early 1800s.
They moved from North Carolina
and South Carolina
to get away from slavery.
Then -- 1807,
Samuel Rogers bought the
property you're looking into.
Now, the Rogers family --
were they Quakers?
When they first moved to
Waynesville, they were Quakers.
His son Joseph died of cholera
when cholera hit Waynesville.
Hmm.
And he lost his cousin Seth
from cholera when he was only 2.
The Rogers family
lost six people.
Oh, geez.
So, when was the land sold
for that church
to be built, then?
After Samuel died,
his son sold the land
to the archdiocese in 1877.
And that's when the church
was built?
Yes.
Milton, thank you so much for
taking the time out of your day.
You're welcome.
This is gonna be very valuable.
The Rogers family were Quakers,
and it makes you wonder, though.
I mean, that thermal
that Lee caught
that he believes
to be a guy in a robe,
I mean, Quakers' attire --
were they dressed that way?
Were they dressed in robes?
Picture Pilgrims.
That's exactly what
they look like -- Quakers.
That's exactly how they dressed,
same kind of hats.
I mean, we could see
this hat here.
I mean, in the thermal,
could that shape
be one of those type of hats?
I think later tonight,
we should try to re-create that,
use our thermal, put on a jacket
and throw on a hood...
Sure.
...and see how
it really radiates.
That's a great idea.
The details that Milton shared
about the Powell property
have added new pieces
to this ever-growing puzzle.
Okay, let's head to the shrine.
We're going to try to re-create
the thermal image Lee captured.
If a person in similar clothing
can generate
a heat signature
with this shape and intensity,
but we know no one
was actually there...
It was startling,
and nobody was standing there.
It was just empty space.
...this adds credibility
to Lee's evidence,
and given the Rogers'
family history here,
maybe the image
wasn't a priest at all,
but a Quaker.
So, do you want to do this?
And then he'll go out, and then I'll
stand by you. Yes, I'll do this.
Okay.
You can actually look
around on this, too.
Yeah, I'm watching this.
Cool.
You think this way, or...
Yeah.
Now, Dave, if you maybe want
to turn around and kneel.
Right, 'cause they would be
praying towards it.
Right. And maybe kneel a little,
if you could?
It's close.
It's close.
Would you turn your body
to your left?
Yep, a little more.
There, you look like
you're onto something.
Would you just turn in the same
position but face us?
Oh, there it is.
Ohh!
Is it, yeah?
Lee, you might be
onto something out here.
Yeah.
I'm telling you what.
That's it.
But where I was standing
was back here.
Right there is where
I caught that.
We're at the shrine in
the Powell property's backyard,
attempting to re-create
and authenticate
a thermal image
that Lee captured.
So, do you want to do this?
And then he'll go out?
Yes.
You think this way, or...
Yeah.
Now, Dave, if you maybe want
to turn around and kneel.
Right, 'cause they would be
praying towards it.
Right. And maybe kneel a little,
if you could?
It's close.
It's close.
Would you turn your body in
the same position but face us?
Wow.
Let me reference this.
Ohh!
That's close, man.
Wow!
There you go.
Wow.
That's the original,
our re-creation.
Wow, yeah.
To me, it looks just like it.
Yeah.
Wow.
That is awesome.
The image we caught indicates
that the haunting
could be attributed
to the Rogers family of Quakers,
so we join Jason back inside
to try to draw out
members of that family,
who we'd learned
had died here from cholera.
All right.
You see that mister shooting
near that mirror.
That's pretty wild.
This big, thick cloud
comes up on it.
See, now this is when
this technique works great.
Watch -- I walk through this,
and look what the mist does.
Yeah, it just
displaces with you.
Exactly, and that's
what we're looking for.
Yeah, because it doesn't have
to be visible to our eyes.
That's absolutely right.
So, this is the area
where Adam and Jona
hear the most voices.
Is there anyone from the Rogers
family here with us?
Are you here with us, Samuel?
Joseph, are you here with us?
Hello?
Don't...
What the hell?
Wow.
There's nobody there.
I'm gonna crap my pants.
Hello?
Don't...
What the hell?
There's nobody there.
I'm gonna crap my pants.
Are you kidding me?
There's nobody there.
Are you kidding me right now?
Are you kidding me right now?
That was even...
That was good.
We even heard the bell!
That was force!
Was it this door or that door?
It was the left door, I think.
I don't --
This one doesn't have a bell.
It was this one.
That's the one.
That's it.
There's the bell.
This one.
You -- kidding me.
Oh, my God!
No way.
So, think of it this way,
though --
we've always said human spirits
are limited with the abilities
that they're able to --
So, moving small objects,
usually under 3 pounds,
so if something
could just give this
just enough of a tug...
Right.
Nobody was over
next to this door.
We instantly looked.
There was no one there.
Nobody there.
That's true!
I know! I looked!
We instantly looked!
We all looked at the same time.
We pretty much ran to the door.
Dude, that was fun.
That was nice.
Wow.
Oh.
We know that most
of the Rogers family
who were on this property
died of cholera.
Seth Rogers,
are you here with us?
We can only imagine what you
were going through
when you were sick.
Look at this thing.
Look in here.
Wait a second.
That's...
Oh.
It looked like it was dispersing
- around something there for a minute.
- It did.
Like that -- It's doing it again.
Oh, I see it.
Yeah, it looks like
it's going around.
Oh, wait, that's not
the back of the --
No, it looks like it's going
around something small.
Is that a void around the mist?
I think that's
exactly what's going on.
Give me the EMF.
So, I'll stay --
Keep the light on it, Dave.
EMF's dropping.
0.6, 0.5,
Ah, that was weird
'cause it looked like --
like right here.
Ooh, come here.
That's a weird,
staticky feeling.
Look, right here.
Do you think that's the mist?
It feels colder, though.
Now it's, like,
really cold right there.
It does feel colder
right here, yeah.
Now it's here.
Now it's here.
Now it's further ahead.
Feel right here,
compared to right there.
Oh, now it's here.
Now it's here. Feel here.
Oh, wait a second.
That's...
Oh, right here?
Right here. Yeah.
That is cold,
compared to everything else.
It moved.
Dave, you're right!
Yeah.
Right here it is really cold!
That's like 10 degrees colder.
What the hell?
That's crazy.
I mean, cold is only
the absence of heat,
so something is removing
the heat here.
You can see it being blocked.
Oh, yeah.
You can see it being blocked
right there.
Something is going on
in this place.
The Powell property presented
us with a very perplexing case.
After reviewing all the video
and audio evidence
captured
during the investigation,
we're ready
to share our findings
with Adam, Jona,
and their daughters.
Hey, Jona, Adam,
thanks for having us back.
I'm glad you came.
Thank you.
You guys were telling us
about how this was
your dream house.
You guys wanted
to take this church
and convert it into a home.
Throughout
the course of us being here,
we did have some
strange things that happened.
Adam and Jona believe
the spirits of a priest,
Jim O'Brien,
and his illegitimate son,
Thomas,
could be the source
of their paranormal phenomena,
so we focused our first night's
investigation on these subjects.
Are you here with us,
Jim O'Brien?
We looked further into the rumor
of the priest
who allegedly kept his son
trapped on the property.
The time lines
were completely off.
During that time,
that father would have
actually been in Switzerland.
While continuing
our investigation,
we were presented
with another possible suspect.
The mystery of this whole thing
revolves around a young man
named Willie Anderson.
Three women were ax-murdered.
Can you take this ax from me?
We tried a lot of techniques,
and we had no results,
so we firmly believe
that what happened over there
is not here.
Okay, good. Yeah.
Our research
into the Powell property
next led us to a local farmer
with a rich knowledge
of the town's history.
There was a cholera epidemic,
and the Rogers family
lost six people.
This made us wonder
if the thermal image
Lee captured by the shrine
may be that
of the original landowner,
a Quaker named Samuel Rogers.
So this here is the original.
Mm-hmm.
Mm-hmm. Oh, wow.
And then that
was our re-creation.
Wow.
That's cool.
That looks like it is some sort
of free-floating tangible energy
that is over there.
After learning
of the cholera outbreak
that decimated
the Rogers family,
we reached out to other members
who perished on the property...
Seth Rogers,
are you here with us?
...and finally made contact.
Ooh, come here.
That's, like, really cold
right there.
It does feel colder right here.
It was about this high,
which was strange
because that's about
the height of a 2-year-old.
The discovery of the cold spot,
along with the EVP
that Lee captured...
...leads us to believe that
these could indeed be members
of the Rogers family who died
here during the outbreak.
The Powell family also claimed
to hear the front door open
and close on its own
several times a day.
We were standing over here,
and the door opened and closed,
and there was
absolutely nobody here.
Don't...
What the hell?
We didn't see the door move.
We heard it move.
So it could be a residual-type
sound.
One of the most mind-blowing
things was, at one point,
Steve and I heard
a really loud voice.
Wow.
Now take a listen.
Oh, my God.
That was what you heard?
That's what we heard. Wow.
So, what do you think
that's saying?
- "Hallowed be thy name"?
- You heard it that clear?
That's exactly what Dave heard.
We heard it with our ears,
so this is a disembodied
sound in the room with us.
Could be what we call
a layered haunting,
where there could be
a residual type of haunting,
which could be the
"Hallowed be thy name,"
could be the door.
It's easy to have more
than one type of haunting.
You have the Rogers family.
You have the cold spot.
That's an
intelligent-type haunt,
and I know some of the concern
was also the scratch
on your arm.
When your body flushes
with adrenaline
and with emotion,
you may not
quite have remembered
perhaps brushing
your arm on something.
We're sort of thinking that
it might be more environmental
than something paranormal.
What really struck us most
is having children
that don't even want
to be in here.
That's a sad thing.
This should be a place
of comfort, of fun,
of family, of love.
There's nothing here
that we feel
is going to hurt you
or cause any of you harm.
I think you got
a great place here,
and it's got
paranormal activity,
but it's paranormal activity
that seems to be people
who love the place
as well as you guys do.
Anything happens or you guys
feel threatened,
Lee's got a direct line to us.
We'll come right back.
I feel so much more comfortable
in our own home.
That's a huge help.
Thank you.
The storied past of this
19th-century church
and the tragedy
that proceeded it
makes the property
a prime location
for paranormal activity,
but we hope our findings can
help reunite the Powell family
under one roof --
a roof that previously
brought so many others together.
We bought this church
built in 1877.
I started doing renovations.
That's when all hell
broke loose.
Out of shame and guilt,
the priest locked the child
away in the basement.
I actually saw the little boy.
One of the neighbors told us
about a triple ax murder.
Blood soaked everything.
Our oldest daughter
won't live with us
because she's terrified.
That was a loud male voice.
"Hallowed be thy name."
We're not alone.
Can you let us know
that you're here?
What the hell?
"There is something else
in this house."
Make some sort of a noise.
Let us know you're here with us.
I'm right beside you.
We are a community of searchers.
This family is under attack.
We are...
..."Ghost Nation."
We've traveled to the village
of Waynesville, Ohio,
to investigate
some unusual claims
coming out of
a former Catholic church.
The local investigator
who called us in
to help on this case is
an established member of UPRO,
who teaches a weekly class
on the paranormal
at a museum
in the heart of town.
People see this, and they think,
"Oh, it's a camcorder."
Well, it's not just a camcorder.
It's a full-spectrum camcorder,
so this actually sees
what our eyes can't see.
I got some special friends that
I'd like to introduce you to.
We got Steve Gonsalves,
Jason Hawes.
We have Dave Tango.
Guys?
What sort of advice
can you offer to the class?
I would say don't think
everything is a ghost, you know?
Have your common sense
and wits about you
and knowing
what you're looking at.
I agree, and just go
in understanding
that most claims are able to be
disproved as something else.
Bring a flashlight, number one.
Don't trip.
Thanks again for coming out.
Adam and Jona Powell
is the client's name.
They've been having a lot
of activity going on.
From what you said,
this is a church
being converted into a house?
Yes. They bought it as their
dream home, plus her business.
Doing the investigation,
I had the thermal.
We were outside by the shrine,
and this was sitting inside.
That was inside the shrine?
Yes.
Almost looks like the arms
are crossed or something.
So, that's it inside,
and I actually got a EVP.
We were in the basement,
and I'll share this with you.
Where did you go?
What I got is, "Hey, help me,"
like, "Help me, hey."
It's, like, using any energy
it can to get it out.
Scroll back to the beginning.
You'll hear it. Listen.
Where did you go?
Hello?
You said that a sensitive
had picked up some stuff.
I had my medium come in.
He walked the building.
He actually picked up a priest
in the '30s -- 1930s.
Hmm.
Did he pick up a name
with this priest?
Yes. Jim.
Okay.
And then he picked up a boy
about 8, 10 years old,
named Thomas,
picked him up in the basement.
Everybody has different feelings
on sensitives.
I actually saw the little boy.
My medium was saying
that Priest Jim
was having an affair
with someone.
From this town?
From this town.
Okay. And Thomas was his son.
So, did the boy supposedly die
at the location?
He picked up that the boy
had a tragic accident
in the basement,
and that's where he passed.
So, what do the family think
is going on?
They believe the activity
is being caused
by the priest, Jim,
and the little boy, Thomas.
They put all their heart
and soul into this building
to make it their home,
into their business,
and the 18-year-old daughter
doesn't even stay
on the property.
She stays with the grandma.
Okay.
How close is the place?
From here, it's just
a half a mile down the road.
You want to ride with us?
Sounds good.
Here we are, guys.
It's right there.
Oh, it looks like a church.
Yeah.
We're meeting
with Adam and Jona Powell
in the main church area
of their property
that they've converted
into an antique shop
and a printing business.
Hey, how are you?
I'm Jason.
It's our job to get to
the bottom of the disturbances
that are terrifying this family.
Welcome. Come on in.
All right.
So, this is obviously what was
the church and is now your shop.
Have either of you had
any experiences
with the paranormal
prior to coming here?
No.
Oh, no.
Did you believe in it
before coming here?
Kind of skeptical, to be honest.
Actually, a big skeptic.
This place kind of
changed my mind.
You know, we've always said
that a skeptic is just somebody
who's never had
a paranormal experience yet.
When we bought this building,
we loved the history
surrounding it.
We knew it was a church
built in 1877.
The architecture
was beautiful --
the original floors.
It was everything my wife
and I wanted.
It was her dream house.
The plan was to renovate
the church here
so that we could live
in the church
and run our business out of it.
I started doing renovations.
That's when all hell
broke loose.
Within a week,
we started hearing footsteps...
...whispers...
...elevating from there
to shadows.
The most active area
is the main church area.
We'll hear candles drop and bang
and then roll across the floor.
We'd always hear the front door
opening and closing.
Each door has a 4-pound
counterweight,
so they should not
be able to open,
but on a regular basis,
we'll hear these doors open
and close on their own.
The activity in our house
could be one of the priests
that was here.
Being an old church,
it makes sense
that they were attached
to this building.
One of the most active areas
is in the basement.
We've also heard
a young child crying.
There's a shrine that was built
with the church
in 1877 in the backyard.
And we hear voices by it.
We brought in Lee,
a local paranormal investigator.
During an investigation,
it was rather
cold outside that evening,
and that's when we picked
up the thermal image...
...that was in the shape
of a priest.
It was startling.
And nobody was standing there.
It was just empty space.
As part of Lee's investigation,
he brought in a medium.
And the medium sensed the priest
had an illegitimate child
named Thomas...
out of shame and guilt,
the priest locked the child
away in the basement...
...he kept the boy
a total secret, hidden away,
and that the child died
of an accident at a young age.
My wife runs a small print
business out of this church.
One night,
I was printing shirts,
and I just felt completely
uncomfortable.
Somebody was watching me.
I knew I was not alone.
I was standing up at the press,
and all of a sudden,
I just felt a huge rush
come up behind me,
and I felt something
sharp on my arm.
I pulled back my sleeve,
and there was this
long scratch mark.
Adam and I both
watched it turn red,
so we knew it had just happened.
It was terrifying.
The activity has escalated
so much that now,
it's coming after me.
There's something trapped here,
and we're not alone.
The most traumatic thing
of this whole experience is
our oldest daughter
won't live with us
because she's terrified.
It's been devastating,
knowing that you are not
providing your child
with a safe home.
That's what's parents do,
and we are not doing that,
so that's why we need help.
We cannot go on living
like this.
I heard that you guys also had
a sensitive come in?
When the medium came in,
he actually came up with Jim.
Okay, so he didn't come up
with a last name.
It was just the first.
Mm-hmm.
So, then we reached out
to the archdiocese
and got a list of priests that
was assigned to this location.
In the 1920s,
- there was actually a priest named
James O'Brien. - James O'Brien.
That had been
in this church prior.
What are you all hoping
that we're able
to accomplish here for you?
We want to know if we're safe,
because it's getting physical.
We want to know what's here.
We want to be comfortable in our
own house, basically, you know?
Right now, we're not.
We'll do everything we can
for you.
Thank you for your help.
Thank you very much.
The Powells have agreed
to close up shop
and vacate the property
for a week
so we can investigate
the paranormal activity
they're experiencing
and analyze the evidence
that Lee has collected.
Plug it in over here, Dave.
We're going to set up a camera
in each of
the paranormal hot spots...
Just make sure the I.R.
doesn't blast each other.
...one in the main church...
Ready to connect.
...one in the basement...
Dave, we can put it over there
'cause this is
where they saw it.
...and in the backyard.
You can cover a wide area.
Longtime paranormal investigator
Shari DeBenedetti
has joined our team
to help monitor cameras
and review evidence.
Awesome.
While Shari keeps an eye
on the monitors...
Let's do it!
To the basement!
...Tango is heading
down to the basement
to look for evidence
that supports the crying
heard by the homeowners...
This is Tango in the basement.
...and the EVP
that Lee recorded.
Hello?
Is your name Thomas?
It's really no place
for a little boy to be.
If your name is Thomas,
can you let me know somehow?
Are you trapped down here?
Jay and Steve,
heading into a church --
Waynesville, Ohio.
In here we have the main area.
This is the room
where Jona was scratched.
Jim O'Brien?
Is there a reason
that you're in this church?
Was that you
that scratched Jona?
Were you trying
to get her attention?
Are you here with us,
James O'Brien?
Are you living in this church?
We're not here to bother you,
scare you.
We're not even here
to ask you to leave.
Hello?
That was a sentence --
like, a full sentence.
We're not here to bother you,
scare you.
We're not even here
to ask you to leave.
Hello?
That was a sentence,
like, a full sentence.
That was a loud male voice.
Let me just make sure no one's
next to the front door.
Whoo!
It's like every hair on the back
of my neck standing up.
I mean, this would be
the only place
sound could have
traveled in from.
Nobody.
All right.
That was a sentence --
like a full sentence.
That was **** loud.
That was loud.
There is nobody outside,
Jay, at all.
Dude, my **** hands are shaking.
We're not here
to bother you, scare you.
We're not even here
to ask you to leave.
Jay to Dave.
Can you come up to the main
church area for a second?
Yeah, I'm on my way.
Man, I would love to know
what it says.
If we could figure out
what it's saying,
I mean, that legitimately
could change the course
of our investigation.
Hey.
There was a voice.
What?
And it's frigging loud.
What? You can hear it?
You got it on recorder?
Yeah.
Wow.
I think we're gonna go
in there and listen to it.
All right. Great.
I want to hear this.
We're not even here
to ask you to leave.
"Hallowed be thy name."
"Hallowed be thy name."
Oh, my God. There's no way you
could pick it up like this.
Play it again.
Holy ****.
Holy ****.
That's clear as hell.
Holy ****.
That was loud.
That was extremely loud.
Our father, who art in Heaven,
hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come.
Thy will be done on Earth
as it is in Heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread
and forgive us our trespasses
as we forgive those
who trespass against us.
Yeah.
After recording
a disembodied voice
saying a line
from the Lord's Prayer
during last night's
investigation,
we sent Tango out to see
what information he can find
about the priest and child
whose presence
Lee's sensitive picked up.
Meanwhile, Steve and I
will check out
the counterweight
on the front door
that the Powells claimed
to hear opening
and shutting on its own.
John?
Thank you so much
for meeting me.
I really appreciate it.
You know why I'm here.
We're trying to help
a family out.
They're having some strange
occurrences in their home.
The family themselves
did some research,
and they found
the name James O'Brien.
Do you know this name at all?
Was this an actual priest?
I'm familiar with that name
from historical readings.
I assume he was a priest here,
but I can't tell you for sure
because that was before my time.
Right.
The priest, Jim --
now maybe James O'Brien --
had an affair, had a child,
kept that child
secret in the basement.
Is there any truth
to that at all?
That's a pretty serious
accusation.
I can't confirm that's true
or not true.
Okay.
Any historical records
we have at this point
would be in the office.
We've just
cleaned out our library,
but I'm certain that you're
more than welcome
to take a look in there
if you so desire.
I would appreciate that very much.
Okay.
Do you think this piece of wood
might ever get crooked
and get stuck in this?
Oh, absolutely.
Hello.
Hi.
I heard that you were doing
an investigation in town.
Well, thanks for stopping by.
There's rumors all over town
about ghosts in every building.
Anything you can tell us
about this area?
Yes.
In 1879, a horrible thing
happened here in Waynesville.
Three women were ax-murdered...
and had their throats slit.
Ooh!
The mystery of this whole thing
revolves around a young man
named Willie Anderson,
his mother,
her sister, and daughter.
Willie went in the house and
ax-murdered these three women.
The bodies were still
in the house for a week
until they pried open
the doors and the windows,
and they said it was the most
ghastly thing they'd ever seen.
Could never get the blood
out of the floorboards.
Next morning, the railroad
people found Willie
shot in the head,
and they said it was suicide.
And how far is that from here,
do you think?
Down this street, and it's three
or four doors down.
It's literally just a rock's
throw right over there.
Hey, hold on a second.
- I'm gonna put you on speakerphone.
- Okay.
I got Tango here.
So, I got some information.
There is an actual
James O'Brien.
So, what years was he actually
here at this church?
1936 and '37.
Okay, and the psychic said
the child was,
what, 8 years old?
Eight.
That would mean he would have
had to have had the child,
what, in 1928?
Right.
But where was he in 1928?
I actually found the obituary
for James O'Brien.
During the time he was supposed
to have a secret child,
he was posted in Switzerland.
In 1928?
Right.
The whole time line
just does not match up.
Yeah, it doesn't make sense.
Yeah, and how do you
hide a kid for 8 years?
It's funny.
We had one of the neighbors
over here show up
while Steve and I
were checking out the door,
but she told us about a murder,
a triple ax murder
that happened in 1879
only about 100 yards
from this building.
Oh, my God.
Let's use that tonight
and see what happens.
I agree. All right.
See you soon, buddy.
All right.
See you soon.
She was selling a lot
of that information.
It's a classic case of taking
what a sensitive said
and taking it as fact...
And running with it.
...and running with it
when there's no fact behind it.
Hey, Willie!
Are you here?
We'd really like to talk to you
about some things that you did.
We're in Waynesville, Ohio,
investigating a former
Catholic church
that the Powells purchased
to remodel into their dream
home and family business.
Welcome.
Come on in.
But frightening,
unexplained activity
has torn this family apart.
Our oldest daughter --
she won't live with us
because she's terrified.
The Powells believe
what they are experiencing
is caused by the spirits of a
priest and his illegitimate son,
who was trapped on the property.
The child died of an accident
at a young age.
But our research uncovered
a conflict
in the time line of events,
allowing us to rule out
this possibility.
During the time he was supposed
to have a secret child,
he was posted in Switzerland.
We then learned
about a triple ax murder...
...that happened in a home
right nearby back in 1879.
Just blood soaked everything.
So, now we're trying to
contact the murderer, Willie Anderson.
Hey, Willie.
Are you here?
We'd really like to talk to you
about some things that you did.
Willie?
We know that you see
this as a church.
Are you maybe here
to try to get some forgiveness
for what you did?
Um...
This was in the garage, right?
And they were killed with an ax.
Willie, we have an object
that you are familiar with,
I'm sure.
You see what my friend
Steve here has in his hands?
This has likeness of the weapon
that you used
when you chopped up your family.
Willie, what you did
was horrendous.
Willie, we'd like to know
how this ax makes you feel.
Can you take it from me?
This place seems like it's
pretty active. It does.
So, there's a good chance --
hopefully, a good chance --
that we caught something
on the recorder.
Yeah, well,
let's let it keep rolling.
After reviewing our evidence
from last night's investigation,
we decided to dig deeper
into the history of this town
and the Powells' property.
Our research has led us
to a local historian
whose family traces back to the
earliest days of Waynesville.
Milton? Yeah.
Its nice to meet you.
I'm Dave. Pleasure to meet you.
Nice to meet you.
Thank you for making some time
to meet up with us.
We're helping the Powell family,
and we're just wondering a lot
about the property and the area.
Well, the Quakers first
moved to Waynesville
in the early 1800s.
They moved from North Carolina
and South Carolina
to get away from slavery.
Then -- 1807,
Samuel Rogers bought the
property you're looking into.
Now, the Rogers family --
were they Quakers?
When they first moved to
Waynesville, they were Quakers.
His son Joseph died of cholera
when cholera hit Waynesville.
Hmm.
And he lost his cousin Seth
from cholera when he was only 2.
The Rogers family
lost six people.
Oh, geez.
So, when was the land sold
for that church
to be built, then?
After Samuel died,
his son sold the land
to the archdiocese in 1877.
And that's when the church
was built?
Yes.
Milton, thank you so much for
taking the time out of your day.
You're welcome.
This is gonna be very valuable.
The Rogers family were Quakers,
and it makes you wonder, though.
I mean, that thermal
that Lee caught
that he believes
to be a guy in a robe,
I mean, Quakers' attire --
were they dressed that way?
Were they dressed in robes?
Picture Pilgrims.
That's exactly what
they look like -- Quakers.
That's exactly how they dressed,
same kind of hats.
I mean, we could see
this hat here.
I mean, in the thermal,
could that shape
be one of those type of hats?
I think later tonight,
we should try to re-create that,
use our thermal, put on a jacket
and throw on a hood...
Sure.
...and see how
it really radiates.
That's a great idea.
The details that Milton shared
about the Powell property
have added new pieces
to this ever-growing puzzle.
Okay, let's head to the shrine.
We're going to try to re-create
the thermal image Lee captured.
If a person in similar clothing
can generate
a heat signature
with this shape and intensity,
but we know no one
was actually there...
It was startling,
and nobody was standing there.
It was just empty space.
...this adds credibility
to Lee's evidence,
and given the Rogers'
family history here,
maybe the image
wasn't a priest at all,
but a Quaker.
So, do you want to do this?
And then he'll go out, and then I'll
stand by you. Yes, I'll do this.
Okay.
You can actually look
around on this, too.
Yeah, I'm watching this.
Cool.
You think this way, or...
Yeah.
Now, Dave, if you maybe want
to turn around and kneel.
Right, 'cause they would be
praying towards it.
Right. And maybe kneel a little,
if you could?
It's close.
It's close.
Would you turn your body
to your left?
Yep, a little more.
There, you look like
you're onto something.
Would you just turn in the same
position but face us?
Oh, there it is.
Ohh!
Is it, yeah?
Lee, you might be
onto something out here.
Yeah.
I'm telling you what.
That's it.
But where I was standing
was back here.
Right there is where
I caught that.
We're at the shrine in
the Powell property's backyard,
attempting to re-create
and authenticate
a thermal image
that Lee captured.
So, do you want to do this?
And then he'll go out?
Yes.
You think this way, or...
Yeah.
Now, Dave, if you maybe want
to turn around and kneel.
Right, 'cause they would be
praying towards it.
Right. And maybe kneel a little,
if you could?
It's close.
It's close.
Would you turn your body in
the same position but face us?
Wow.
Let me reference this.
Ohh!
That's close, man.
Wow!
There you go.
Wow.
That's the original,
our re-creation.
Wow, yeah.
To me, it looks just like it.
Yeah.
Wow.
That is awesome.
The image we caught indicates
that the haunting
could be attributed
to the Rogers family of Quakers,
so we join Jason back inside
to try to draw out
members of that family,
who we'd learned
had died here from cholera.
All right.
You see that mister shooting
near that mirror.
That's pretty wild.
This big, thick cloud
comes up on it.
See, now this is when
this technique works great.
Watch -- I walk through this,
and look what the mist does.
Yeah, it just
displaces with you.
Exactly, and that's
what we're looking for.
Yeah, because it doesn't have
to be visible to our eyes.
That's absolutely right.
So, this is the area
where Adam and Jona
hear the most voices.
Is there anyone from the Rogers
family here with us?
Are you here with us, Samuel?
Joseph, are you here with us?
Hello?
Don't...
What the hell?
Wow.
There's nobody there.
I'm gonna crap my pants.
Hello?
Don't...
What the hell?
There's nobody there.
I'm gonna crap my pants.
Are you kidding me?
There's nobody there.
Are you kidding me right now?
Are you kidding me right now?
That was even...
That was good.
We even heard the bell!
That was force!
Was it this door or that door?
It was the left door, I think.
I don't --
This one doesn't have a bell.
It was this one.
That's the one.
That's it.
There's the bell.
This one.
You -- kidding me.
Oh, my God!
No way.
So, think of it this way,
though --
we've always said human spirits
are limited with the abilities
that they're able to --
So, moving small objects,
usually under 3 pounds,
so if something
could just give this
just enough of a tug...
Right.
Nobody was over
next to this door.
We instantly looked.
There was no one there.
Nobody there.
That's true!
I know! I looked!
We instantly looked!
We all looked at the same time.
We pretty much ran to the door.
Dude, that was fun.
That was nice.
Wow.
Oh.
We know that most
of the Rogers family
who were on this property
died of cholera.
Seth Rogers,
are you here with us?
We can only imagine what you
were going through
when you were sick.
Look at this thing.
Look in here.
Wait a second.
That's...
Oh.
It looked like it was dispersing
- around something there for a minute.
- It did.
Like that -- It's doing it again.
Oh, I see it.
Yeah, it looks like
it's going around.
Oh, wait, that's not
the back of the --
No, it looks like it's going
around something small.
Is that a void around the mist?
I think that's
exactly what's going on.
Give me the EMF.
So, I'll stay --
Keep the light on it, Dave.
EMF's dropping.
0.6, 0.5,
Ah, that was weird
'cause it looked like --
like right here.
Ooh, come here.
That's a weird,
staticky feeling.
Look, right here.
Do you think that's the mist?
It feels colder, though.
Now it's, like,
really cold right there.
It does feel colder
right here, yeah.
Now it's here.
Now it's here.
Now it's further ahead.
Feel right here,
compared to right there.
Oh, now it's here.
Now it's here. Feel here.
Oh, wait a second.
That's...
Oh, right here?
Right here. Yeah.
That is cold,
compared to everything else.
It moved.
Dave, you're right!
Yeah.
Right here it is really cold!
That's like 10 degrees colder.
What the hell?
That's crazy.
I mean, cold is only
the absence of heat,
so something is removing
the heat here.
You can see it being blocked.
Oh, yeah.
You can see it being blocked
right there.
Something is going on
in this place.
The Powell property presented
us with a very perplexing case.
After reviewing all the video
and audio evidence
captured
during the investigation,
we're ready
to share our findings
with Adam, Jona,
and their daughters.
Hey, Jona, Adam,
thanks for having us back.
I'm glad you came.
Thank you.
You guys were telling us
about how this was
your dream house.
You guys wanted
to take this church
and convert it into a home.
Throughout
the course of us being here,
we did have some
strange things that happened.
Adam and Jona believe
the spirits of a priest,
Jim O'Brien,
and his illegitimate son,
Thomas,
could be the source
of their paranormal phenomena,
so we focused our first night's
investigation on these subjects.
Are you here with us,
Jim O'Brien?
We looked further into the rumor
of the priest
who allegedly kept his son
trapped on the property.
The time lines
were completely off.
During that time,
that father would have
actually been in Switzerland.
While continuing
our investigation,
we were presented
with another possible suspect.
The mystery of this whole thing
revolves around a young man
named Willie Anderson.
Three women were ax-murdered.
Can you take this ax from me?
We tried a lot of techniques,
and we had no results,
so we firmly believe
that what happened over there
is not here.
Okay, good. Yeah.
Our research
into the Powell property
next led us to a local farmer
with a rich knowledge
of the town's history.
There was a cholera epidemic,
and the Rogers family
lost six people.
This made us wonder
if the thermal image
Lee captured by the shrine
may be that
of the original landowner,
a Quaker named Samuel Rogers.
So this here is the original.
Mm-hmm.
Mm-hmm. Oh, wow.
And then that
was our re-creation.
Wow.
That's cool.
That looks like it is some sort
of free-floating tangible energy
that is over there.
After learning
of the cholera outbreak
that decimated
the Rogers family,
we reached out to other members
who perished on the property...
Seth Rogers,
are you here with us?
...and finally made contact.
Ooh, come here.
That's, like, really cold
right there.
It does feel colder right here.
It was about this high,
which was strange
because that's about
the height of a 2-year-old.
The discovery of the cold spot,
along with the EVP
that Lee captured...
...leads us to believe that
these could indeed be members
of the Rogers family who died
here during the outbreak.
The Powell family also claimed
to hear the front door open
and close on its own
several times a day.
We were standing over here,
and the door opened and closed,
and there was
absolutely nobody here.
Don't...
What the hell?
We didn't see the door move.
We heard it move.
So it could be a residual-type
sound.
One of the most mind-blowing
things was, at one point,
Steve and I heard
a really loud voice.
Wow.
Now take a listen.
Oh, my God.
That was what you heard?
That's what we heard. Wow.
So, what do you think
that's saying?
- "Hallowed be thy name"?
- You heard it that clear?
That's exactly what Dave heard.
We heard it with our ears,
so this is a disembodied
sound in the room with us.
Could be what we call
a layered haunting,
where there could be
a residual type of haunting,
which could be the
"Hallowed be thy name,"
could be the door.
It's easy to have more
than one type of haunting.
You have the Rogers family.
You have the cold spot.
That's an
intelligent-type haunt,
and I know some of the concern
was also the scratch
on your arm.
When your body flushes
with adrenaline
and with emotion,
you may not
quite have remembered
perhaps brushing
your arm on something.
We're sort of thinking that
it might be more environmental
than something paranormal.
What really struck us most
is having children
that don't even want
to be in here.
That's a sad thing.
This should be a place
of comfort, of fun,
of family, of love.
There's nothing here
that we feel
is going to hurt you
or cause any of you harm.
I think you got
a great place here,
and it's got
paranormal activity,
but it's paranormal activity
that seems to be people
who love the place
as well as you guys do.
Anything happens or you guys
feel threatened,
Lee's got a direct line to us.
We'll come right back.
I feel so much more comfortable
in our own home.
That's a huge help.
Thank you.
The storied past of this
19th-century church
and the tragedy
that proceeded it
makes the property
a prime location
for paranormal activity,
but we hope our findings can
help reunite the Powell family
under one roof --
a roof that previously
brought so many others together.
