Kindred Spirits (2016–…): Season 2, Episode 3 - Home Sweet Holmes - full transcript
A full-bodied apparition terrorizes two young girls at night and Adam and Amy catch it on camera! A heinous murder committed more than 100 years ago might help close this investigation.
ON THE COUNT OF THREE,
CAN YOU DO SOMETHING FOR US?
ONE...
SHE WAS JUST
STANDING AT THE...
- WHO WAS?
- ...EDGE OF MY BED.
I DON'T KNOW HER NAME,
BUT...
A PERSON?
- YEAH.
- ...TWO...
MY KIDS ARE SCARED,
AND THERE'S NOTHING I CAN DO.
...THREE.
[ CHUCKLES ]
THAT TICKLES.
WHAT IS THAT?
THAT'S IN THE KID'S ROOM.
I'M GOING TO GO FIND OUT.
WHOA.
I JUST SAW A SHADOW.
Berry:
IT WENT THROUGH THE FLOOR.
WE'VE COLLECTED MORE EVIDENCE
ON THIS CASE THAN IS NORMAL.
WE HAVE A LOT
TO SHOW YOU.
[ DOOR CREAKS ]
Bruni: I'M AMY BRUNI.
I WAS ONLY 8
WHEN A PARANORMAL INCIDENT
CHANGED MY LIFE FOREVER.
[ GIRL LAUGHS ]
SINCE THEN,
I'VE DEDICATED MY TIME
TO SOLVING THE MOST TERRIFYING
HAUNTINGS IMAGINABLE.
Berry: I'M ADAM BERRY.
MORE THAN A DECADE AGO,
AN ENCOUNTER AT GETTYSBURG
ROCKED MY BELIEFS
ABOUT THE SUPERNATURAL.
Bruni: TOGETHER,
WE UNCOVER THE TRUTH
- BEHIND THE UNEXPLAINABLE.
- OH.
OH, MY GOD.
NOW WE ARE ON
OUR MOST IMPORTANT MISSION YET.
♪♪
HELPING FAMILIES
OVERCOME THEIR FEAR,
TAKE BACK THEIR HOMES,
AND RECLAIM THEIR LIVES.
♪♪
- WHAT'S HAPPENING?
- WELL, I HAVE A CASE.
IT'S THIS WOMAN NAMED NICOLE.
SHE'S AN EMT.
SHE LIVES IN THIS REALLY
SPOOKY OLD FARM HOUSE.
AND HER YOUNGER DAUGHTER
IS TERRIFIED TO THE POINT
THAT SHE WON'T EVEN SLEEP
IN HER BED ANYMORE.
- OKAY.
- SO I HAVE A VOICEMAIL FROM HER.
HER KIDS ARE SAYING
THIS WOMAN.
NICOLE WAS SLEEPING,
AND HER YOUNGER DAUGHTER
CAME IN JUST BAWLING
AND CRYING,
AND SHE SAID THAT THIS, LIKE,
OLDER WOMAN IN PERIOD DRESS
WALKED INTO THE ROOM,
LOOKED AT HER,
AND THEN JUST
WALKED UP THE STAIRS.
OKAY.
THAT'S TERRIFYING.
YEAH. NOW,
THEY HAVE NEW ACTIVITIES.
THEY'VE STARTED HEARING THE
VOICES OF CHILDREN IN THE HOUSE.
- WHOA.
- YEAH.
- THAT'S SPOOKY.
- YEAH.
TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE
IT SEEMS.
IT IS.
♪♪
Bruni:
I THINK AT THIS POINT, NICOLE IS
MOST CONCERNED ABOUT HER KIDS.
THERE'S THIS SENSE OF URGENCY
THAT COMES WITH THAT
BECAUSE YOU WANT
THEM TO FEEL SAFE.
YOU WANT THEM
TO FEEL SECURE.
AND IT'S A VERY
HELPLESS FEELING,
SO I AM HOPING WE'LL BE
ABLE TO GIVE HER ANSWERS.
ALL RIGHT.
- SO THIS IS MY HOUSE,
AND IT'S A VERY DIFFICULT PLACE
TO COME HOME TO EVERY DAY.
WHAT HAPPENS
PARANORMAL-WISE IN THIS AREA?
OKAY. THIS SEEMS
TO BE WHERE IT IS.
IT'S FOOTSTEPS AND DOORS
OPENING AND SHUTTING.
THERE SEEMS TO BE A PATTERN
AND A ROUTINE WITH THE NOISES,
AND IT'S 9, 9:30 NIGHTLY.
I KNOW YOU HAD
MENTIONED AN APPARITION.
WHO HAS SEEN AN APPARITION?
MY CHILDREN.
THIS IS WHAT
IT WAS DESCRIBED AS.
A PLAIN-FACED LADY...
- MM-HMM.
...WITH DARK HAIR
IN A WHITE DRESS.
YOU KNOW, THESE ARE KIDS
THAT HAVE NEVER HAD NIGHTMARES.
- YEAH.
- SO I WAS TAKEN OFF GUARD BY IT,
AND I DIDN'T WANT
TO DISCARD IT,
BUT I ALSO DIDN'T
WANT TO FEED IT.
- NO, OF COURSE, THAT'S PERFECT.
- MAKE THE PROBLEM WORSE.
YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?
SO...
SO IT ONLY HAPPENED ONCE
FOR EACH CHILD, RIGHT?
- THAT VIVID OF AN IMAGE, YES.
- OKAY.
BUT BOTH OF THEM ARE VERY VOCAL
ABOUT THE FACT THAT, LIKE,
IT'S STILL HERE.
Berry: AMY AND I HAVE
INTERVIEWED A LOT OF CLIENTS,
AND WE CAN TELL
WHEN THEY'RE NERVOUS.
NICOLE SEEMS
REALLY UNCOMFORTABLE
AND GENUINELY CONCERNED
ABOUT HER KIDS.
SO WHO LIVES UP HERE?
SO THIS WAS, LIKE,
PRETTY MUCH VACANT SPACE.
I ATTEMPTED TO PUT
MY BEDROOM UP HERE,
AND I DIDN'T DO IT.
IT FELL THROUGH.
IT WAS TOO FREAKY.
WHEN YOU SAY IT WAS TOO FREAKY,
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
THE MOST UNNERVING
I'VE EVER FELT.
LIKE, TALK ABOUT
NOT FEELING ALONG.
- RIGHT.
- LIKE, THAT WAS IT.
AND THE NOISES THAT I HEAR
FROM MY LIVING ROOM,
THEY'RE STILL UP HERE, EXCEPT
I'M UP HERE NOW WITH THEM.
DO YOUR KIDS
EVER COME UP HERE?
- NO. NO WAY.
- NO.
DO YOU THINK THAT WHATEVER
IS UP HERE IS DIFFERENT
FROM WHAT YOU EXPERIENCE
IN THE REST OF THE HOUSE?
SOMETIMES.
THE MAJORITY
OF THE ACTIVITY, LIKE,
I FEEL LIKE IT'S FROM
THE SAME PERSON.
BUT ESPECIALLY
AS OF LATELY, I'M, LIKE,
THERE'S NOT
JUST ONE THING HERE.
SO WHAT'S HAPPENED
IN THE KITCHEN?
WE WERE IN HERE
EATING DINNER ONE NIGHT,
AND I HAD ONE OF THOSE, LIKE,
PORTABLE BLUETOOTH SPEAKERS.
AND, LIKE, A VOICE CAME THROUGH
AND WAS LIKE, "STOP."
AND I ENDED UP, LIKE,
SMASHING THAT THING.
REALLY JUST TO MAKE IT STOP?
- YEAH.
- WOW.
- AND THE SWITCH WAS ON OFF.
- OH.
- OKAY.
- THE WHOLE TIME?
YEAH. BUT THAT WAS LIKE PROBABLY
ABOUT A YEAR AND A HALF AGO NOW.
- OKAY.
- AND THERE'S BEEN NOTHING
IN THIS KITCHEN SINCE.
- OKAY.
- UNTIL...
- OH, GOSH.
...I HEARD KIDS' VOICES
IN HERE THE OTHER DAY.
SO IT JUST KIND OF SEEMS LIKE
ACTIVITY IS KIND OF SPREADING.
- YEAH.
- SPREADING OUT NOW.
- OKAY.
- OKAY.
WHAT CAN YOU, LIKE,
WHAT DO YOU HOPE AS AN OUTCOME?
WHAT'S YOUR ULTIMATE
GOAL FOR US?
I THINK WHY,
FOR STARTERS.
AND NO PARENT WANTS
TO SEE THEIR KIDS
IN A CONSTANT
STATE OF PANIC.
AND, LIKE, MY YOUNGEST,
LIKE I SAID, SHE BROAD DAYLIGHT,
I HAVE TO BE
IN WHATEVER ROOM.
LIKE, SHE DOESN'T DO WELL
BEING AWAY FROM ME.
- YEAH.
- LIKE, I WANT HER TO HAVE
SOME PEACE
PRIMARILY ON THIS.
- RIGHT. OKAY.
- YOU KNOW, SO...
WHO DO YOU THINK IT IS?
HONESTLY, ONE OF THE VERY
FIRST FEMALE AUTHORS
WAS BORN AND RAISED
IN THIS HOUSE.
HER NAME WAS
MARY J. HOLMES.
- OKAY.
- I HAVE A BUNCH OF BOOKS
THAT WERE FOUND
ON PROPERTY.
♪♪
ALL RIGHT.
SO THIS WAS MY DAUGHTERS' ROOM.
THEY REFUSE TO
SLEEP IN IT ANYMORE.
- OKAY.
- SO IT'S BECOME MINE.
THESE ARE THE ONES THAT
WERE FOUND IN THE BARN
UNDERNEATH ONE
OF THE FLOORBOARDS.
- CAN WE SEE THE BARN?
- IT'S GONE.
SO IT WAS A FIRE HAZARD.
- SURE.
- SO THEY TOOK IT DOWN.
SO IF IT WASN'T FOR THAT,
THESE PROBABLY WOULDN'T
HAVE BEEN FOUND,
OR AT LEAST NOT FOR,
LIKE A LONG TIME.
I'M SUPER INTERESTED IN THIS.
YEAH.
IT'S STRANGE THAT BOOKS
WOULD BE BURIED UNDER A BARN.
SUPPOSEDLY, ONCE THOSE BOOKS
MADE THEIR WAY INTO THE HOUSE,
ACTIVITY STARTED GOING OFF
THE CHARTS FOR THEM.
SO WHAT IS IT ABOUT THOSE BOOKS
THAT MADE THE ACTIVITY INCREASE?
WHY WERE THEY HIDDEN UNDER
THE FLOORBOARDS IN THE BARN?
RESEARCH IS GOING TO BE CRUCIAL
TO FINDING OUT
WHAT'S GOING ON HERE.
SO ARE YOU FAMILIAR WITH WHERE
MARY HOLMES LIVED IN THE AREA?
ON RICE CORNER ROAD.
YEAH.
THAT'S THE HOUSE
THAT I'M INVESTIGATING.
BUT AT SOME POINT,
THEY WENT OUT INTO THE BARN...
- YEAH.
- ...THAT THEY HAD TO TEAR DOWN.
AND THEY FOUND A TON OF HER
BOOKS OUT THERE AND EVERYTHING.
- REALLY?
- WOW.
AND THEY WERE UNDER
THE FLOORBOARDS...
- REALLY?
- ...AS THOUGH THEY WERE HIDDEN.
I DON'T KNOW WHY.
SO THEY STILL HAVE THEM,
AND I BELIEVE
THEY WERE PROBABLY HERS.
SO I'M JUST
KIND OF CURIOUS
AS TO WHAT THE HISTORY
OF HER WAS IN THIS AREA.
MARY LIVED HERE
FOR ABOUT 25 YEARS.
- OKAY.
- UNTIL SHE GOT MARRIED
1850 THEREABOUTS.
SHE WAS AN AUTHOR. SHE WAS
WRITING WHEN SHE WAS HERE.
- MM-HMM.
- WHEN SHE LIVED HERE,
SHE STARTED WRITING
WHEN SHE WAS A LITTLE KID.
- OH, WOW.
- AND SHE SOLD
2 MILLION BOOKS
DURING HER LIFETIME.
WHICH IN THAT PERIOD
FROM 1850 TO 1900, WAS AMAZING.
I MEAN, SHE WAS SECOND
IN BOOK SALES
TO HARRIET BEECHER STOWE.
RIGHT, RIGHT.
UNFORTUNATELY,
SHE'S NOT WELL KNOWN HERE
BECAUSE SHE WASN'T HERE
FOR A LONG TIME.
NOW, SHE CAME BACK
TO VISIT HER FAMILY.
BUT I'VE ACTUALLY READ
THE FIRST ONE,
"HOMESTEAD ON THE HILL."
AND I MEAN, THIS IS SUPPOSEDLY
BASED ON HER LIFE...
- LIFE IN BROOKFIELD.
- ...AT THAT HOUSE
AND EVERYTHING.
- YES.
I MEAN, I WOULD SAY
SHE LIVED HERE
DURING PROBABLY THE MOST
IMPORTANT YEARS OF HER LIFE.
I MEAN, HER CHILDHOOD
AND TEENAGE...
THEY WERE THE FORMATIVE
YEARS, OH YEAH.
YEAH. YEAH, THIS IS WHERE
SHE LEARNED EVERYTHING. YEAH.
SO IT WAS PROBABLY
LOTS OF MEMORIES THERE.
OH, I'M SURE. I'M SURE.
♪♪
WE HAVE ESTABLISHED
THAT MARY HOLMES, THE AUTHOR,
LIVED IN THIS HOUSE
BACK IN MID 1800S,
WHICH COINCIDES
WITH THE KID'S STORY
ABOUT A WOMAN IN PERIOD DRESS.
IT ALSO MEANS THOSE MIGHT
HAVE BEEN MARY'S BOOKS.
THAT GIVES US A GOOD
STARTING POINT.
NICOLE TOLD US
THE ACTIVITY KICKS OFF
EVERY NIGHT AROUND 9 P.M.
SO THE CLOCK IS TICKING.
Berry: HOW IS THAT?
CAN YOU PUT IT DOWN
JUST A LITTLE BIT?
WE'RE SETTING UP A 24-HOUR
SURVEILLANCE SYSTEM
TO HELP US MONITOR
THE ENTIRE HOUSE.
WE HAVE THE ACTUAL
STAIRCASE.
- WE HAVE THE TOP
OF THE STAIRCASE.
AND OVER HERE WE HAVE THE BOTTOM
OF THE STAIRCASE.
AND THEY SEE THIS WOMAN
APPEAR IN THEIR ROOM
AND THEN WALK OUT HERE
AND THEN GO UP THE STAIRS.
WE'RE BOUND
TO HEAR SOMETHING.
I HOPE.
SHE SAYS EVERY NIGHT.
OKAY. ANYTHING ELSE?
WE MIGHT NEED
THE SLS CAMERA.
-100 PERCENT.
- YEAH.
OKAY. LET'S DO IT.
Berry: THE SLS CAMERA
USES TWO LENSES
AND INFRARED LIGHT
TO SCAN A ROOM.
THE LENSES DETERMINE HOW FAR
AWAY OBJECTS ARE IN THE ROOM.
THE INFRARED REVEALS ANOMALIES
NOT VISIBLE TO THE NAKED EYE.
NICOLE'S CHILDREN SAW AN
APPARITION IN THEIR BEDROOM.
THIS DEVICE WILL HOPEFULLY
HELP US SEE WHAT THEY SAW.

THAT'S SO STRANGE.
COMPLETELY GONE.
- IT'S GONE.
LIKE, IT WENT
THROUGH THE FLOOR.
- OKAY.
- THIS ANOMALY
SEEMS CHILD-LIKE.
RIGHT. IT WAS SMALL
THE WHOLE TIME.
I KNOW THEY SEE HER
AS THIS WOMAN,
BUT DO YOU THINK
THERE ARE OTHER...
- VERSIONS OF MARY?
- ...IN THE HOUSE?
SOMETIMES GHOSTS WILL COME BACK
IN WHAT THEY REMEMBER
AS THE HAPPIEST TIME
OF THEIR LIVES.
RIGHT.
THIS PLACE WAS
VERY IMPORTANT TO HER.
- OF COURSE. SHE KEPT VISITING.
- SHE GREW UP HERE.
HER FAMILY STAYED
HERE FOR GENERATIONS.
BUT WE DON'T KNOW YET.
I'LL HAVE TO TALK
TO NICOLE FURTHER,
BUT THERE IS SOME
HISTORY WE'LL DIG INTO,
LIKE HER BROTHER
BEING ATTACKED.
BUT IT HASN'T COME BACK,
WHATEVER IT WAS.
Bruni: THE SPIRIT WE DETECTED
LAST NIGHT DOESN'T SEEM VIOLENT,
BUT I KEEP THINKING
ABOUT NICOLE'S VOICEMAIL.
SHE SAID HER BROTHER HAD
A LIFE-ALTERING EXPERIENCE
IN THE HOUSE.
ADAM AND I ARE GOING TO FIGURE
OUT WHAT REALLY HAPPENED.
♪♪
SO WHAT EXACTLY HAPPENED
TO YOUR BROTHER?
I HAD A FRIEND
THAT WAS OVER.
MY FRIEND HAD A CELTIC CROSS ON.
SHE'S VERY RELIGIOUS.
AND SHE WAS HOLDING IT
GOING INTO THE ROOMS.
SHE WAS SAYING, "YOU DON'T
BELONG HERE. YOU NEED TO LEAVE."
AND THEN THAT'S WHEN MY
BROTHER HAD HIS EXPERIENCE.
I WAS STANDING HERE,
WALKING IN HERE WITH ONE
OF NICOLE'S FRIENDS
KIND OF MAKING A JOKE.
AND THE BEST WAY
I CAN DESCRIBE IT
IS THE BIGGEST CHILL
YOU COULD POSSIBLY GET.
- OKAY.
- AND IT WENT, IT WAS, LIKE,
HONESTLY, LIKE,
A SURGE THAT WENT, LIKE,
ZOOM AND UP THROUGH MY ARMS,
UP THROUGH MY HEAD.
LIKE, MY FACIAL HAIR WAS
STANDING UP, LIKE, EVERYTHING.
- YEAH. YEAH, YEAH.
- AND IT WAS LIKE THAT.
DO YOU EVER GET
CONCERNED FOR THE GIRLS
WITH ALL OF THIS GOING ON?
- I DO.
BEING AFRAID OF SOMETHING
AND YOU DON'T KNOW
EXACTLY WHAT IT IS,
IT'S ALMOST
LIKE YOU'RE TRAPPED.
AND IT'S LIKE
YOU CAN'T GET OUT.
IT'S ALMOST
LIKE A SUFFOCATION.
AND IT, LIKE, KILLS ME TO KNOW
THAT, LIKE, THEY COULD BE
GOING THROUGH THAT, AND I CAN'T
DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT.
- YEAH.
- LIKE, I GO TO WORK,
AND SOMEBODY CALLS
BECAUSE THEY CAN'T BREATHE.
I CAN FIX THAT.
- RIGHT.
SOMEBODY IS HAVING
A HEART ATTACK. I CAN FIX THAT.
MY KIDS ARE SCARED,
AND THERE'S NOTHING I CAN DO.
IT'S, LIKE, THE MOST
HELPLESS FEELING.
♪♪
YOU TALKED TO HER
BROTHER TODAY, RIGHT?
- I DID. I DID.
- AND HOW DID THAT GO?
IT WAS NICE
TO TALK TO SOMEONE
WHO HAD AN EXPERIENCE
THAT MADE HIM STOP
AND IMMEDIATELY THINK LIKE,
"WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?"
HE WAS WALKING INTO
THE KIDS' ROOMS
WHERE WE GOT THE ANOMALY.
- REALLY?
YES, LIKE, WALKING
INTO THE SPACE
FOLLOWING NICOLE'S FRIEND.
HE SAID THAT HE FELT INTERNAL
COLD CHILL THAT WENT, LIKE, UP.
DID HE MENTION TO YOU
WHAT THE FRIEND WAS DOING
AT THAT TIME
WHEN THAT HAPPENED?
THEY WERE LAUGHING.
SEE BECAUSE I HEARD
THAT WOMAN HAD A CROSS
AND WAS WALKING
THROUGH THE HOUSE...
- OH.
- ...TELLING WHATEVER WAS HERE
TO GET OUT.
THAT'S WHAT I HEARD.
WELL, HE DIDN'T, HE DID NOT
TELL ME ABOUT A CROSS.
YEAH. SHE HAD, LIKE,
A CELTIC CROSS NECKLACE,
SO SHE, LIKE, TOOK IT
AND WAS SAYING,
"WHOEVER YOU ARE, LEAVE."
AND, YOU KNOW,
THAT'S WHEN THAT HAPPENED.
WELL, HE DID NOT SAY THAT.
THAT CHANGES THE WHOLE STORY.
WELL, THEY PROBABLY PROVOKED
THE SPIRIT, AND IT LASHED OUT.
NO WONDER
HE WAS FREAKED OUT
BECAUSE SHE WAS, LIKE,
LITERALLY SAYING,
"GET OUT. DON'T,
LEAVE US ALONE."
AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN,
HE HAS THIS EXPERIENCE.
YEAH. WHATEVER WAS THERE
WAS PROBABLY PISSED.
- YEAH.
- AND, LIKE, PROBABLY RAN
THROUGH HIM.
THAT MUST BE WHY IT
ONLY HAPPENED ONCE.
THERE IS SOMETHING HAPPENING
IN THAT SECTION OF THE HOUSE
BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT
GOING TO BELIEVE
WHAT WE CAUGHT
ON THE DVR.

ON OVERNIGHT. RIGHT.

KNEW NO BOUNDS.
EVEN THAT
JUST ONE PASSAGE,

IT COULDN'T BE HER GHOST.
THE FACT OF THE MATTER
IS IT'S BUILT
IN THE EXACT SPOT
WHERE HER HOUSE WAS,
AND SO THERE'S A VERY GOOD
CHANCE THAT IT'S STILL HER,
BUT IT DOES KIND OF
CHANGE THINGS A LITTLE BIT.
SO I HAD THE LIBRARIAN
PULL SOME INFORMATION FOR ME

ANY TRAGEDIES IN THE AREA.
AND SO SHE FOUND SOMETHING
NEARBY OF INTEREST.

IT WAS LITERALLY ACROSS
THE STREET FROM THEIR HOUSE.

HOUSE TO THE LEFT.
THIS IS REALLY GROSS.
A NEIGHBOR WALKED
INTO THE HOUSE,
AND UPON ENTERING THE HOUSE,
HE RECALLED THAT
AN OVERPOWERING STENCH
PERMEATED THE ENTIRE INTERIOR.
APPARENTLY THE MUTILATED AND
MANGLED BODIES OF MRS. NEWTON
AND HER DAUGHTER, ELSIE,
BOTH LAY IN A POOL OF BLOOD,
WHICH WAS ALSO SPATTERED
ON THE WALLS AND CEILING.
RECOILING IN HORROR,
HE RUSHED FROM THE ROOM
AND INTO A CONNECTING HALL WHERE
HE STUMBLED OVER A BLOODY AXE.
AS HE ENTERED
THE MASTER BEDROOM,
THERE LAY MR. NEWTON IN THE
IDENTICAL STATE AS HIS FAMILY.
THERE WAS A CRAZY MURDER
THAT HAPPENED VERY CLOSE
ACROSS THE STREET
IN THE LATE 1800s.

SO I JUST WANTED TO,

MARY HOLMES GREW UP IN.
- WHAT?
- THAT HOUSE BURNED DOWN IN 1910.
ON THE PROPERTY, THOUGH?
YES.
IT'S STILL THE SAME PROPERTY.

WAS BUILT IN THE SAME SPOT.
OH, OKAY.

SOMETHING ELSE OUT

TERRIBLE THAT HAPPENED.
THERE WAS, IN 1898,
A TRIPLE HOMICIDE.
