Kindred Spirits (2016–…): Season 3, Episode 1 - No Salvation - full transcript
Amy and Adam investigate a massive compound and encounter what seems to be a malevolent entity.
BERRY: Whoever's down here
that can hear us talk,
we've come to find out
who you are.
I saw something
down the hallway.
BERRY: He's come to collect.
- What is that?
- Yeah.
**** just
touched me on the arm.
I just saw something
go across the ceiling.
It's mimicking what we do to
get others to interact with it.
Oh, no.
He's after the kids.
BRUNI:
When the dead are forgotten,
they become restless.
Oh, my God!
Did you just touch me?
What?!
I did not touch you.
I'm Amy Bruni.
A haunting encounter
re-defined my life.
I live with that experience
and seek answers to the unknown.
Ooh, it says I am!
I'm Adam Berry.
At Gettysburg, the shadows
and screams of dead soldiers
told me into
a supernatural believer.
Oh, my God!
BRUNI:
Together, our investigations
bring peace to the living.
You can't scare us.
You can't deter us.
BERRY: By giving a voice
to the dead.
I'm gonna ask you
one more time.
What is your name?
BRUNI:
Because we believe the dead
and the living are all...
♪♪
Adam and I are
in rural Missouri,
headed to a haunted
inn and winery.
Three other abandoned buildings
sit on the property
and are also known
paranormal hot spots.
They have been investigated
for years.
The owner's been here
for two decades
and says the activity hadn't
been threatening until now.
So, Jesse's gonna meet us,
and Jesse is the owner
and operator of the inn
and everything.
They have this huge,
scary set of buildings.
The place
is undoubtedly haunted.
We've helped them a few times
to validate
that there is something here.
And I think to them,
them being haunted,
it was kind of a novelty,
but now, suddenly,
they're actually scared.
Something has changed
in the last couple months.
He's hearing more stories from
people that have investigated
or are staying there
that there is something
more sinister at play.
These people
are being attacked.
Ugh.
And that's just very out
of character for here.
A century ago,
this 27-acre property
was owned by the fraternal
organization the Odd Fellows.
They built a hospital,
orphanage, nursing home,
and old folks' home.
Many of the residents of the
Odd Fellows compound died here.
- This is it, right?
- Yep.
Oh, my God, it's so big.
They successfully renovated
the orphanage,
which is now an inn.
But they want to renovate
these other buildings,
but they're concerned now
because there's
this kind of dark presence
hanging over them.
They're really worried to get
in there and see what happens.
We need to fix this for them.
We need to fix this for
whatever's in those buildings.
♪♪
Jesse doesn't rattle easily.
So for him to be scared enough
to call us makes this urgent.
Jesse, man, hey.
- How you doing?
- What's going on?
- Good to see you.
We got here
as soon as we good.
Yes, I'm glad
you guys are here.
Yes, let's head
down this way.
So, what's happening?
Yeah, so, we're having
a lot more activity
in some
of the other buildings.
We're just trying to figure out
what's happening
and what we need
to do about it.
And we're not sure what it is.
- Okay.
Take us right where
we need to go.
We'll head right down.
BRUNI: Jesse's taking us
to the morgue,
that is directly under
the former nursing home.
This is the building
that's right next to the inn.
Ugh!
- I feel, like, an immense chill.
We've had things, like, thrown
down here and stuff like that.
We've had, like,
figures show up.
That's so crazy.
It is.
Whoever's down here
that can hear us talk,
we've come to find out
who you are.
We're gonna be back.
- Ooh!
- Oh, God.
- [ Groans ]
So, this is
the nursing home, right?
LEIMKUEHLER: Yeah.
So, what's been happening
down here
that's different than
the last time we were here?
Before, it was, like,
voices and footsteps,
and then, like, mainly,
it's on the left-hand side --
like, visual stuff
as far as them coming out
the doors
and things like that.
Okay. All right.
Now, that's where we have
a lot of touching,
a lot of physical contact.
Where at specifically?
Do you mind taking us?
Is it touchings or,
like, shoving?
- Both.
- Oh, really?
- Both. Yeah, yeah.
- Okay.
Here, too.
Like, women -- like, hair-pull.
Oh, my goodness.
Do people ever get concerned
that their loved ones
could be haunting this place?
Yeah.
Do you have family members
that come back specifically
looking for their loved ones
still here?
I mean,
that happens a lot.
- Okay.
- Yeah.
Where else do you need
to show us?
We're gonna head out
to the old folks' home.
BERRY: The old folks' home
sits between the nursing home
and the hospital.
It's one of the oldest buildings
on the property
and needs the most repair.
My gosh.
We'll go down
to the left here.
So this was all just rooms
people lived in.
- Oh, yeah.
- Yes.
Almost like assisted living.
It wasn't necessarily
a nursing facility.
I had an experience back
in the hallway
all the way down
at the end,
but I saw something
down the hallway
with another person here,
so it wasn't just me.
It was one other person.
So you both saw
the same apparition?
Yeah. Yeah.
It looked like somebody had,
like, put their hands
on the door frame
and then, like, peeked out.
I remember looking at my arm
and seeing the goose bumps
and the hair standing up
and that sort of stuff.
It was right in here.
- Oh, so, it came out this --
-37.
- Yeah.
- Room 37.
- Room 37.
- Yeah.
So, about how many people
would you say passed away?
There was about 10,000
recorded deaths on site.
Oh, my God!
The vast majority
were in these buildings.
♪♪
In this whole compound
of buildings,
where would you think
is the place people
feel most unsafe
or afraid?
As far as, like,
physical activity,
it would be, like, upstairs
in the nursing facility.
Okay.
We've got a lot to cover,
but I feel like we go back --
we get our equipment --
and just try to talk
to whatever's here.
Like, as fast as we can.
Light's fading.
We got to get going.
♪♪
The Odd Fellows Compound
is a known paranormal hot spot,
attracting plenty
of investigators.
Our experience says when the
living pay attention to spirits,
activity spikes.
So we can have three cameras.
That's what we have.
BERRY: We can. Yeah,
and the third one's already in.
BRUNI: Jesse has closed down
the entire property
so we can have
a controlled investigation.
We are making the old orphanage
our home base
because it's the only building
that has power.
It's next to the nursing home,
where people get pushed,
and the old folks' home,
where Jesse sees shadow figures.
Camera 1, you could straighten
it out a little bit.
Both of them could use
some IR light.
Because of the power issue
in those buildings,
we'll be setting up
wireless cameras
to continually run
even when we are not in them.
Hey, Amy, what do these cameras
look like?
The angles look great.
Great.
[ Crickets chirping ]
BERRY: What is that
at the end of the hallway?
BRUNI: What is it?
What, what, what?
There's something on the camera
in the nursing home.
- What is that?
- Yeah.
It's, like, totally
a shadow figure
at the end of the hallway.
Let's go. Come on.
- I got something.
- Go, go, go, go.
It sounds very --
Yeah, on this side,
on the right side
of the thing.
Nursing home.
Right here,
on the right side.
Yeah, down this way,
right?
♪♪
I just saw something cross
in front of that.
♪♪
This is literally where Jesse
said he had crazy activity.
- My heart is beating so strong right now.
- Yeah. [ Sighs ]
Okay, I will --
If you stay here,
I'm gonna go down
and be very
non-threatening,
and I'm just gonna
leave the recorder
'cause I want to get a name
out of this person.
- Right.
- I want to figure out who it is.
Right.
Whoever you are,
I'm gonna come down there.
I'm just gonna leave something
that can help us hear you.
Oh, look.
What is that?
What is that?
It just, like,
totally stopped.
I literally just put
new batteries in it.
I saw you put
new batteries in it.
It drained that thing.
We need more batteries.
Yes, we need --
We need to figure out
who this is.
Does anybody
have any AAA's?
MAN: They're supplying them
right now.
- Thank you.
- Okay.
Do you not want us
to record you?
Those that own this building
have asked us to come in here.
We have permission to be here.
So we're gonna have to come
and talk to you.
Thank you.
These are the dead ones
right here.
Thanks.
Take that.
- I can see it.
- I know. On the right side.
Yeah.
♪♪
Oh, my God, every hair on my
body is standing up right now.
Okay.
I'm just gonna leave something,
okay?
You don't have
to go anywhere.
This can just help us hear you,
okay?
I'm gonna leave it
right here.
All right?
It's right there.
Do you ever think
about how crazy we are?
Yeah, well,
I mean, it takes --
"There's a big shadow man
at the end of the hallway."
It takes crazy
to find crazy.
"Let me walk on down there and
leave my recorder next to him."
Okay.
All right.
Whoever you are,
can you introduce yourself?
Can you tell us your name?

Is there something
happening with you
and the others
here right now?
♪♪
Should we know something
for our own safety?
Did you hear that?
- What was that?
- Like, a voice?
- Yes, it was a voice.
It was right here,
though.
Are you back here?
- Be careful.
- Hello?
I just saw something
go across the ceiling.
- Like, a person doesn't move like that.
- BERRY: No, it doesn't.
A person does not climb
upside-down across the ceiling.
It's trying to scare us.
Seriously, right now?
♪♪
BERRY:
We're in Liberty, Missouri,
investigating
a historic compound,
where the long-standing
paranormal activity
has taken a dark turn.
We need to figure out
who this is.
The owner is trying to renovate
the century-old buildings,
but he's afraid
of what's here.
Is there something
happening with you
and the others
here right now?
- Did you hear that?
- What was that?
- Like, a voice?
- Yes, it was a voice.
It was right here,
though.
The thing that freaks me out
almost more
than anything
is a disembodied voice
because it comes from
where a mouth should be
if someone
were standing there.
♪♪
Are you back here?
That sounded, like,
childlike to me.
Yeah. Yeah.
It was a little kid.
Why would a kid be
in the nursing home?
BRUNI: The inn was once
an orphanage.
Staff and investigators
have reported seeing
and hearing the spirits
of children on the grounds,
but never in the nursing home
or morgue below it.
Wait.
It happened again
down here.
Be careful.
Hello?
Can you talk
a little bit louder?
It's okay. You're not usually
in this building, right?
You can be here.
It's okay.
Can you talk again,
just like before?
It almost sounds
like a whimper.
♪♪
♪♪
- Amy?
- I just don't --
I was --
I don't understand
why there would be
a child in this building.
So it's just kind
of throwing me off.
Is it trying to get us
out of that area?
- You know, like, the kid is like --
- Oh!
"You! Out!
Get out of that area."
Oh, yes!
Yes!
Like, that is exactly
what that kid was doing.
Yes.
"Get away from there."
It's leading us
out of there.
"Get away from there."
BERRY: What the hell is at
the other end of the hallway?
Why would another spirit be
trying to lead us away from it.
Stopping down our investigation
is not an option.
We need to get the recorder
down there
and see
if it caught anything.
Listen, I know that you're
trying to help us
and get us away from there,
but we --
we kind
of don't have a choice.
What ****
Okay, I just saw something
go across the ceiling.
No, don't tell me that,
please.
I just saw something
go across the ceiling.
Like, that's one of the most
jacked-up things
that I've ever seen.
- Like, a person doesn't move like that.
- No, it doesn't.
A person does not climb
upside-down across the ceiling.
It's trying to scare us.
Seriously, right now?
Okay.
Night one, right?
We're on night one.
We just started.
- Yeah.
- All this stuff is happening.
- Yeah.
- We don't know yet what it is.
- No.
- But we'll figure it out.
- Mm-hmm.
- It's just --
It's gonna continue --
I mean, it's not gonna
let up on us.
No, it's just really
frustrating.
Oh, my stomach feels sick.
♪♪
Let's listen to this.
Hopefully we can hear our
questions from way down there.
[ Indistinct conversation ]
- Ooh! - Was that what I think
it was saying?
Hold on.
"Get out."
It sounds like,
"Get out."
Ooh!
Ooh!
It's angry.
It's angry.
It's angry.
We have someone who was in
the old folks' home
who killed themselves.
We're just looking to see
where to find room 19.
Wait.
Something just touched me.
♪♪
BRUNI:
Adam and I are investigating
an old nursing home,
which seems to be the center
of violent attacks.
Let's listen to this.
And we just got a very
threatening response
on our recorder.
Ooh!
Ooh!
What did that say?
Something ****
**** It says ****
It's angry.
That's anger.
It's angry.
All right,
so, whatever's here,
it clearly
does not want us here.
I have, like, full body shivers
happening right now.
Because, like, all right.
"Get out."
And something "F-word."
I want to go outside
for a minute.
- Okay.
- I just need a minute.
BERRY: Something is clearly
at the end of this hallway.
Our cameras caught it before
we even began investigating.
- What is that?
- Yeah.
It's, like, totally
a shadow figure
at the end of the hallway.
I just saw something cross
in front of that.
And we saw it
with our own eyes.
But whatever it is isn't
giving us any clues
as to who they are
or why they're doing this.
Let's just take a breather
for a second.
I don't know.
It's like --
It feels so jacked up
in there right now.
Like, it's not anything
like it's been.
But it fits exactly
what Jesse said.
Jesse said the activity's
ramping up.
It's more negative.
- There's darker things happening.
- Yeah.
And suddenly, we walk in here,
it's, like,
shutting down equipment,
yelling at us,
saying obscenities, like,
crawling across
the crooked ceiling.
I've never had equipment
shut down that quickly.
And I -- This --
It doesn't make any sense to me.
I don't know.
I feel like we need to be
doing something else.
We need to figure out
who this is.
♪♪
BRUNI" Last night,
we encountered a dark spirit
that did not want us
in the nursing home.
Today, while Adam reviews
last night's footage,
I'm calling in John Tenney,
a leading expert in paranormal
and occult theory.
He's going to meet me
at the Clay County archives.
There's been thousands
of deaths on the property,
so we'll need to search
strategically through newspapers
and police reports
for any suspicious deaths.
We need the dead to start
talking to give us clues.
Hey.
Oh, my gosh.
Thank you so much
for coming straight here.
Not a problem.
I'm hoping
you were able to kind
of dig up
some information for us
because we investigated last
night and crazy things happened
and I would love
to get some information
we can correlate with it.
I'm glad that you called me,
but I've been buried,
just working, trying
to put this all together,
and there's a lot of dots.
But we have someone who was
in the old folks' home
who killed themselves.
Okay.
I saw something down the hallway
with another person.
It looked like somebody had,
like, put their hands
on the door frame
and then, like, peeked out.
The newspaper reports,
the death certificate all has
his name misspelled differently.
Even on the gravestone, it's
different than the newspapers.
That's who --
What's the name?
Fred.
In some of the instances,
Groots.
Groots?
Yeah.
But then in other instances,
WF Lietz.
How do you get --
Like, that's --
- Those are two
very different names. - So...
Yeah, yeah.
Even Frederick W. Goats
here.
"Acting strangely and
was thought to be out
of his right mind.
Yeah, he actually pulled
a knife on someone.
Really?
And they got the knife
away from him.
And then later on in the day,
they heard a bang
and ran into his room and he had
shot himself in the head.
Now that we have a name,
we can hopefully connect
with the spirit.
Fred was clearly violent
to other patients and staff
before committing suicide.
Is he still angry?
Is he going after the living
now, like he did before he died?
What room?
Do we know?
We don't know.
I can't figure it out.
All right, well,
we want to focus on him
because there's clearly
negativity here.
We have a lot of ground
to cover.
Do you want to come with us
tonight and investigate?
Yes.
All right, together,
with all of this
and with what we have already,
it might give us some answers.
♪♪
- There he is.
- Ah, there he is.
- Mr. Coffey, how are you?
- Hey.
- Good to see you.
- It sounded urgent.
- I'm glad you could get here so quickly.
- Yeah, me, too.
- Thank you for getting out here so fast.
- Oh, my gosh.
BERRY: Along with John,
we brought in Chip Coffey,
our friend and psychic medium.
Even if the spirit wants nothing
to do with us again,
it won't be able
to hide from him.
Things here
have changed a bit.
We don't want to get too
far into it because we want you
to get out there
into the buildings
and give us your impression.
You know, to see if you
pick up anything
that's violent or aggressive.
Okay.
I'm thinking let's go
to the old folks' home.
- Yeah.
- 'Cause that's that --
There's another shadow figure
seen out there.
And we found at least
one documented suicide.
All right, you have your
recorder. I'm taking SLS.
BERRY: Since we saw
the shadow figure last night,
the SLS will scan
for anomalies
and clearly outline
anything present tonight.
BRUNI: Let's go.
If Fred is in the old
folks' home
or if Chip picks up
on a bad feeling,
it's a good sign he's the one
we were dealing with last night.
This is such a big area.
There's a whole other hall.
Yeah.
You guys go down
this hall way,
and Adam and I
will go down this hallway.
And we'll see what we get.

- My name is John.
- I'm Chip.
Could you communicate with us

or on the wall?
It's quiet.
Very quiet.
Let's do an EVP session.
Is there someone in this room
right now?
We heard there was
an incident here
where a man
took his own life.

He was a violent person
before he died.
What is this?
Now that we have his name,
we can try to call him out
to make contact with him
specifically
and see if he is the reason
the paranormal activity
has taken a turn.
This has an 8.
This has a 9,
but the 1 is missing.
- But no... - Wait, something
just touched me.
No.
I thought it was you
touching my back.
No, no, no, no.
It was, like, soft.

the right place.
Whoever just touched me,
it didn't feel aggressive.
It was almost like a nudge,
telling me to stop here.
- Let's do an EVP session.
- Okay.
We're looking for the man
who took his own life.
Frederick.
Or Fred.
Now, we found a number
of last names.
We can't figure out
which one's right.
What do we have, John?
JOHN: Lietze.
Or Gruensi.

sound familiar to you?
Let's listen and see if we got
any responses with those.
- Fred.

- What?!
- What was that?
- Lietze!
- Lietze!
- He said Lietze.
- He says Lietze.
So, we have Fred Lietze.
Yep.
Think about it.
We just gave that man
his name back.
Yeah.
He had six different names
in there.
We just gave him
his name back.
But that doesn't feel like what
we were dealing with last night.
No.
It's not trying to scare us
or mess with us.
I think I probably would have
gotten some sort of a blip
of something
had there been something here.
- I think so, yeah.
- That wasn't weird.
BERRY: We believe we found
an answer
to the activity
in the old folks' home,
but we still need to figure out
who's going after people.
Show me where you got
the activity
'cause that's where I want
to confront this thing.
It's in the nursing home.
The nursing home is where we got
all of the activity last night
and where Jesse the owner has
had people grabbed and pushed.
This building has
a distinctly different feel.
Last night, whoever was there
didn't want anything
to do with us.

Chip just revealed
a very disturbing fact
about the source

It's low-level demonic.
What?!
There's something here
simply for the fact
that there are innocent souls
that are still hanging out here.
Why now? Why would it come here
now, of all times?
Because everybody's
been investigating
and everybody's been looking
for these souls
and they've been coming out
and they've been communicating.
Chip's just hit on the fact that
as a known haunted location,
the souls here
have made their presence
known to curious visitors
and investigators.
But apparently, revealing
themselves and being so active
has attracted something nasty.
Oh, no.

Always, I guess, this is kind
of where it's made its home?

- Can it travel?

BERRY: Our fear is that this
dark entity is traveling.
Chip told us it is
after the child spirit,
so we are going to check
the storage bunker
where they have been
known to play.
Chip and John are going
to the hospital.
We need to know
if this thing is moving.
Let's put the K2s
out on this thing.
We have three different ways
here.
We've got K2s.
We'll do the flashlight
technique,
and then we have
Boo Buddy.
BRUNI: BooBuddy
detects vibrations, motion,
changes in EMF,
and temperature.
We use this because it looks
and sounds like a toy.
It's so effective and convincing
my own daughter
will steal him to play.
- You're probably very excited,
but can you turn those off? - Please?
BOOBUDDY: I like holding hands
with you.
That means something
just touched it.
- Yeah, absolutely.
- Okay.
Do you like that bear?
Can you turn off
those flashlights for us?
Just twist it
the other way?
I know you really want
to play with those.
- Oh!
- Oh, oh!
Okay, good job.
The flashlight technique
helps us confirm
that what's here is intelligent
and isn't just residual energy.
It also shows they want
to communicate with us.
I'm gonna record you
on this little recorder.
This little box can hear
your voice, okay?
Even if we're not
hearing you...
Do you know what time it is?
...this little box
can hear you, okay?
Right here in the red light,
tell me is there somebody here
who's kind of a bully?
Did you make it cold in here?
Temperature's changing.
- When that happens --
- Mm-hmm.
Every time the lights
start going off,
the temperature
gets colder.
Are you hiding
from somebody?
Does it ever come in here?
- Let's listen back now.
- All right, let's listen.
Well, it sounds like
it's not in here.
No, I think the lack
of talking to us means
it's not in any danger.
Well, that's what I --
yeah.
They're playing.
- Right.
They're playing with us
right now.
For sure.
And that makes me feel
really good.
More importantly,
that thing is not in here.
No, not at all.
So we know it's not gotten
to the bunker, which is good
because this is where
the kids come to hide and play.
And we do not
want that in here.
So now we just need to make
sure it's not in the hospital.
So we've got to go find Chip
and John and see how they did.
But thank you
for playing with us.
In their suite, Chip and John
confirmed what we did --
the dark spirit has not breached
the bunker or hospital,
which is great, but we're
not done with this thing.
We still need to go
to the morgue,
which is in the basement
of the nursing home,
and where Jesse, the owner,
has also had things thrown.
BRUNI: Okay, let's do an EVP
session in the dark.
You look so excited, Chip.

Ohh.
- That is weird.
- What?
I thought I was about to ram
my head into a pipe.
- There is no pipe.
- No, no, no, no, no.
Like, right as I walked
into this room,
I made, like, a real weird

I have nightmares about this
exact thing, just so you know.
Really? Is this, like,
your worst nightmare?
Worst.
BERRY: Even though it hasn't
moved to other buildings,
it seems like
it's definitely below
the nursing home
in the morgue.
All right.

This is the violent grabbing

he called us.

were asking EVP questions,
I'm hoping something will be on

Oh, yeah, it just did -- it just
did one of those to my arm.

that we were --
Yeah, we were
telling it to leave.
Let's stop this ****
- It didn't talk a whole lot.
- No.
I think right now it's trying
to collect information.
It's trying to figure out
what we're capable of.
Do you know what's odd
about what you just said?
We've been talking about, like,
"This is trying to be
different things."
And so what you said is it's,
like --
It knows we're a threat.
It's collecting information.
That's what we're doing.
That's right.
It's mimicking what we do to
get others to interact with it.
- I just got weird chills.
- Me, too!
I'm sorry, you guys.
That's so **** up.
I'm gonna suggest that since
it's not made its way
over into the other building
that we plan a course of action.
We do it outside
of this space.
Yeah, let's figure out a way
to get rid of this.
BRUNI: That was intense.
It's strong, more chilling.
It's learning from us
how to lure out souls
so it can absorb them.
This thing has to go now.
BERRY: What's going on in there
is definitely negative.
It's dark.
It's aggressive.
It moved things.
It grabbed you.
It slithered up the wall
like a black mass.
- Yeah.
- We caught it on camera.
We got it on camera.
It is definitely one
of the most negative
hauntings I have encountered.
Is there a term for what
we're experiencing out there?
In occult sciences,
in occult practices,
they call it an egregore.
An egregore
like this is rare.
It can be borne out
of the concerns
and fears that so many people
have toward this compound.
It can grow more powerful
as it absorbs
the massive spiritual energies
which cover this place.
So, it's the result of people
going in there
over and over again,
investigating,
or dark things
that happen there,
and this strange entity
has been born out there.
So, in theory, if it's created
like that,
then couldn't we combat it
by using, like, positivity?
Right. The positive intention
will push it out.
BERRY:
So, tomorrow's game plan.
- I'm ready to get it
out of there. - Right.
Especially for Jesse
and the family
because they're here every day.
This is an extension
of their home.

The owner, Jesse, needs to know
what he's got going on here.
We're meeting with him
to explain
that it isn't
a simple haunting --
that we've got to get it out,
and for that,
we'll need his help.
So, we think there is something
negative and dark
in the nursing home now.
That being said, what is it?
We started looking into the idea
of thought forms,
and we realized that people
have always thought
there was something dark
in that nursing home
and that investigators
keep coming in looking
for this dark thing,
and that over time,
they created this thing.
We think people have looked
at that building so much
as a space
for something negative
that they created
this thought form out there,
and that's why it took a while
and it built up
and now it's become
its own ghost.
- Right.
- And we need to get rid of it
because it's only
gonna get bigger
and it's only gonna
get stronger.
It's just gonna get worse.
- Right.
And it could go
to the other buildings.
It could come into your inn.
And so that's why we need
to get rid of it today.
Okay.
So that's why I asked you
to ask everyone you knew
who had a connection to these
buildings to come here today
because we are gonna
fight fire with fire.
We're gonna create our own
positive thought form,
and we are gonna put it
back in that building.
We're gonna banish it.
BERRY: Right now
we're going to battle.
We had Jesse call in family,
friends, and employees.
It will take the strength of all
these people to fight this.
It's a classic case
of evil versus good.
And there's no way
we're gonna let it win.
We believe that there's
something dark in this building.
And today you guys are gonna
help us get rid of it.
I want you guys to think about
your most positive,
happy experience
with these buildings,
whatever makes you happy
when you think about this place.
And I want you to envision
that light in you.

that positive, wonderful moment.

"You are not welcome."
ALL: You are not welcome.
"You are banished."
You are banished.

The idea of positive energy
may not seem like much,
but in the paranormal realm,
it's extraordinarily powerful.
BRUNI: You keep telling it,
"This is our space."
If something like that comes
back, like, immediately,
you need to reclaim that space

It's, like, totally
a shadow figure
at the end of the hallway.
I just saw something cross
in front of that.
And we saw it
with our own eyes.
But whatever it is isn't
giving us any clues
as to who they are
or why they're doing this.
Let's just take a breather
for a second.
I don't know.
It's like --
It feels so jacked up
in there right now.
Like, it's not anything
like it's been.
But it fits exactly
what Jesse said.
Jesse said the activity's
ramping up.
It's more negative.
- There's darker things happening.
- Yeah.
And suddenly, we walk in here,
it's, like,
shutting down equipment,
yelling at us,
saying obscenities, like,
crawling across
the crooked ceiling.
I've never had equipment
shut down that quickly.
And I -- This --
It doesn't make any sense to me.
I don't know.
I feel like we need to be
doing something else.
We need to figure out
who this is.

BRUNI" Last night,
we encountered a dark spirit
that did not want us
in the nursing home.
Today, while Adam reviews
last night's footage,
I'm calling in John Tenney,
a leading expert in paranormal
and occult theory.
He's going to meet me
at the Clay County archives.
There's been thousands
of deaths on the property,
so we'll need to search
strategically through newspapers
and police reports
for any suspicious deaths.
We need the dead to start
talking to give us clues.
Hey.
Oh, my gosh.
Thank you so much
for coming straight here.
Not a problem.
I'm hoping
you were able to kind
of dig up
some information for us
because we investigated last
night and crazy things happened
and I would love
to get some information
we can correlate with it.
I'm glad that you called me,
but I've been buried,
just working, trying
to put this all together,
and there's a lot of dots.
But we have someone who was
in the old folks' home
who killed themselves.
Okay.
I saw something down the hallway
with another person.
It looked like somebody had,
like, put their hands
on the door frame
and then, like, peeked out.
The newspaper reports,
the death certificate all has
his name misspelled differently.
Even on the gravestone, it's
different than the newspapers.
That's who --
What's the name?
Fred.
In some of the instances,
Groots.
Groots?
Yeah.
But then in other instances,
WF Lietz.
How do you get --
Like, that's --
- Those are two
very different names. - So...
Yeah, yeah.
Even Frederick W. Goats
here.
"Acting strangely and
was thought to be out
of his right mind.
Yeah, he actually pulled
a knife on someone.
Really?
And they got the knife
away from him.
And then later on in the day,
they heard a bang
and ran into his room and he had
shot himself in the head.
Now that we have a name,
we can hopefully connect
with the spirit.
Fred was clearly violent
to other patients and staff
before committing suicide.
Is he still angry?
Is he going after the living
now, like he did before he died?
What room?
Do we know?
We don't know.
I can't figure it out.
All right, well,
we want to focus on him
because there's clearly
negativity here.
We have a lot of ground
to cover.
Do you want to come with us
tonight and investigate?
Yes.
All right, together,
with all of this
and with what we have already,
it might give us some answers.
♪♪
- There he is.
- Ah, there he is.
- Mr. Coffey, how are you?
- Hey.
- Good to see you.
- It sounded urgent.
- I'm glad you could get here so quickly.
- Yeah, me, too.
- Thank you for getting out here so fast.
- Oh, my gosh.
BERRY: Along with John,
we brought in Chip Coffey,
our friend and psychic medium.
Even if the spirit wants nothing
to do with us again,
it won't be able
to hide from him.
Things here
have changed a bit.
We don't want to get too
far into it because we want you
to get out there
into the buildings
and give us your impression.
You know, to see if you
pick up anything
that's violent or aggressive.
Okay.
I'm thinking let's go
to the old folks' home.
- Yeah.
- 'Cause that's that --
There's another shadow figure
seen out there.
And we found at least
one documented suicide.
All right, you have your
recorder. I'm taking SLS.
BERRY: Since we saw
the shadow figure last night,
the SLS will scan
for anomalies
and clearly outline
anything present tonight.
BRUNI: Let's go.
If Fred is in the old
folks' home
or if Chip picks up
on a bad feeling,
it's a good sign he's the one
we were dealing with last night.
This is such a big area.
There's a whole other hall.
Yeah.
You guys go down
this hall way,
and Adam and I
will go down this hallway.
And we'll see what we get.
♪♪
- My name is John.
- I'm Chip.
Could you communicate with us
by tapping on the ceiling
or on the wall?
It's quiet.
Very quiet.
Let's do an EVP session.
Is there someone in this room
right now?
We heard there was
an incident here
where a man
took his own life.
Is that person
still up here?
Fred, are you here?
If this isn't the right room,
where is the right room?
What number?
[ Recorder crackling ]
[ Crackling ]
I hear a number.
Was that a number.
It sounds almost like 13.
19.

Where is room 19?
37, 36, 35.
JOHN:
It's quiet down there.
We got one number.
So we're just looking to see
if we can find room 19.
What is this?
BERRY: This has a 9.
This has an 8.
This has a 9,

BERRY: We found a death record
of a suicide victim
in the old folks' home.
He was a violent person
before he died.
What is this?
Now that we have his name,
we can try to call him out
to make contact with him
specifically
and see if he is the reason
the paranormal activity
has taken a turn.
This has an 8.
This has a 9,
but the 1 is missing.
- But no... - Wait, something
just touched me.
No.
I thought it was you
touching my back.
No, no, no, no.
It was, like, soft.
I think we have
the right place.
Whoever just touched me,
it didn't feel aggressive.
It was almost like a nudge,
telling me to stop here.
- Let's do an EVP session.
- Okay.
We're looking for the man
who took his own life.
Frederick.
Or Fred.
Now, we found a number
of last names.
We can't figure out
which one's right.
What do we have, John?
JOHN: Lietze.
Or Gruensi.
Gruetez.
Any of those names
sound familiar to you?
Let's listen and see if we got
any responses with those.
- Fred.
- Fred.
Fred.
- What?!
- What was that?
- Lietze!
- Lietze!
- He said Lietze.
- He says Lietze.
So, we have Fred Lietze.
Yep.
Think about it.
We just gave that man
his name back.
Yeah.
He had six different names
in there.
We just gave him
his name back.
But that doesn't feel like what
we were dealing with last night.
No.
It's not trying to scare us
or mess with us.
I think I probably would have
gotten some sort of a blip
of something
had there been something here.
- I think so, yeah.
- That wasn't weird.
BERRY: We believe we found
an answer
to the activity
in the old folks' home,
but we still need to figure out
who's going after people.
Show me where you got
the activity
'cause that's where I want
to confront this thing.
It's in the nursing home.
The nursing home is where we got
all of the activity last night
and where Jesse the owner has
had people grabbed and pushed.
This building has
a distinctly different feel.
Last night, whoever was there
didn't want anything
to do with us.
We've got Chip, and now
we're going to force
this thing out of hiding.
Wow.
It's started messing
with me already.

You got me in here now.

Whoa.

So, you wanted us in here,

- It was a kid.
- Kid, right?
- It was a little, "Ha."
- What was that?
- Wait, what was that?
BRUNI: That's exactly
what I heard last night.
That's the voice of the kid
that tried to lead me
out of the nursing home.
What is going on here?
Last night, when we were in here
and everything was happening,
we heard a voice of a child,
like we just heard...
- Did you hear that?
- What was that?
- Like, a voice?
- Yes, it was a voice.
Hello?
And I'm getting all "Ugh"
thinking about it,
but it was almost like it was
trying to get us out of here.
It was leading us out the door,
like, calling to us to leave.
- It wants you to go.

They're trying
to protect you.

CHIP:
Noise from in here.
BRUNI:
Chip Coffey and John Tenney
are helping Adam and I
find out who was attacking
people in the old nursing home.
So, you wanted us in here,
and here we are.
Chip just revealed
a very disturbing fact
about the source
of the violence.
It's low-level demonic.
What?!
There's something here
simply for the fact
that there are innocent souls
that are still hanging out here.
Why now? Why would it come here
now, of all times?
Because everybody's
been investigating
and everybody's been looking
for these souls
and they've been coming out
and they've been communicating.
Chip's just hit on the fact that
as a known haunted location,
the souls here
have made their presence
known to curious visitors
and investigators.
But apparently, revealing
themselves and being so active
has attracted something nasty.
Oh, no.
He's after the kids.
BERRY: Wait, the spirits
of the orphans?
Yeah.
Do the kids know
that it's here?
- Yes.
- And are they afraid of it?
Yes.
Is it in this area?
Like, is this where it --
- Yes.
Always, I guess, this is kind
of where it's made its home?
- Yes.
- Can it travel?
I don't know.
The biggest thing we have
to tackle is making sure
that thing doesn't grow
and go anywhere else.
Yeah, we got to keep it
contained.
We got to get rid of it.
♪♪
BERRY: Our fear is that this
dark entity is traveling.
Chip told us it is
after the child spirit,
so we are going to check
the storage bunker
where they have been
known to play.
Chip and John are going
to the hospital.
We need to know
if this thing is moving.
Let's put the K2s
out on this thing.
We have three different ways
here.
We've got K2s.
We'll do the flashlight
technique,
and then we have
Boo Buddy.
BRUNI: BooBuddy
detects vibrations, motion,
changes in EMF,
and temperature.
We use this because it looks
and sounds like a toy.
It's so effective and convincing
my own daughter
will steal him to play.
- You're probably very excited,
but can you turn those off? - Please?
BOOBUDDY: I like holding hands
with you.
That means something
just touched it.
- Yeah, absolutely.
- Okay.
Do you like that bear?
Can you turn off
those flashlights for us?
Just twist it
the other way?
I know you really want
to play with those.
- Oh!
- Oh, oh!
Okay, good job.
The flashlight technique
helps us confirm
that what's here is intelligent
and isn't just residual energy.
It also shows they want
to communicate with us.
I'm gonna record you
on this little recorder.
This little box can hear
your voice, okay?
Even if we're not
hearing you...
Do you know what time it is?
...this little box
can hear you, okay?
Right here in the red light,
tell me is there somebody here
who's kind of a bully?
Did you make it cold in here?
Temperature's changing.
- When that happens --
- Mm-hmm.
Every time the lights
start going off,
the temperature
gets colder.
Are you hiding
from somebody?
Does it ever come in here?
- Let's listen back now.
- All right, let's listen.
Well, it sounds like
it's not in here.
No, I think the lack
of talking to us means
it's not in any danger.
Well, that's what I --
yeah.
They're playing.
- Right.
They're playing with us
right now.
For sure.
And that makes me feel
really good.
More importantly,
that thing is not in here.
No, not at all.
So we know it's not gotten
to the bunker, which is good
because this is where
the kids come to hide and play.
And we do not
want that in here.
So now we just need to make
sure it's not in the hospital.
So we've got to go find Chip
and John and see how they did.
But thank you
for playing with us.
In their suite, Chip and John
confirmed what we did --
the dark spirit has not breached
the bunker or hospital,
which is great, but we're
not done with this thing.
We still need to go
to the morgue,
which is in the basement
of the nursing home,
and where Jesse, the owner,
has also had things thrown.
BRUNI: Okay, let's do an EVP
session in the dark.
You look so excited, Chip.
Sitting in the dark
in a morgue.
With a demon.
Ohh.
- That is weird.
- What?
I thought I was about to ram
my head into a pipe.
- There is no pipe.
- No, no, no, no, no.
Like, right as I walked
into this room,
I made, like, a real weird
ducking my head
to get into here.
- Really?
- Yeah.
BERRY: Uh, there is something
in the ceiling.
- Are you **** kidding me?
- Stop!
- Let me see.
- Right above you.
Look.
Look.
Right there.
Oh, you guys.
Hanging across the ceiling.
I don't need
to know that.
- No.
- Oh, it's gone.
It's gone now.
- It's gone.
I have nightmares about this
exact thing, just so you know.
Really? Is this, like,
your worst nightmare?
Worst.
BERRY: Even though it hasn't
moved to other buildings,
it seems like
it's definitely below
the nursing home
in the morgue.
All right.
So, we're gonna stand
in the dark with this thing.
Lovely.

CHIP:
It just grabbed my arm.
This is the violent grabbing
that scared
Jesse the owner and the reason
he called us.
Since it happened when we
were asking EVP questions,
I'm hoping something will be on
this recorder besides "Get out."
Chip,
are you sure you're okay?
Oh, yeah, it just did -- it just
did one of those to my arm.
Let's listen to it.

Oh.
- Yeah, it said something.
It says, "I am Chip."
- What?
- No.
Listen.
- "I am Chip."
- What are you doing here?
Oh, God!
Yeah, it got really mad
that we were --
Yeah, we were
telling it to leave.
Let's stop this ****
- It didn't talk a whole lot.
- No.
I think right now it's trying
to collect information.
It's trying to figure out
what we're capable of.
Do you know what's odd
about what you just said?
We've been talking about, like,
"This is trying to be
different things."
And so what you said is it's,
like --
It knows we're a threat.
It's collecting information.
That's what we're doing.
That's right.
It's mimicking what we do to
get others to interact with it.
- I just got weird chills.
- Me, too!
I'm sorry, you guys.
That's so **** up.
I'm gonna suggest that since
it's not made its way
over into the other building
that we plan a course of action.
We do it outside
of this space.
Yeah, let's figure out a way
to get rid of this.
BRUNI: That was intense.
It's strong, more chilling.
It's learning from us
how to lure out souls
so it can absorb them.
This thing has to go now.
BERRY: What's going on in there
is definitely negative.
It's dark.
It's aggressive.
It moved things.
It grabbed you.
It slithered up the wall
like a black mass.
- Yeah.
- We caught it on camera.
We got it on camera.
It is definitely one
of the most negative
hauntings I have encountered.
Is there a term for what
we're experiencing out there?
In occult sciences,
in occult practices,
they call it an egregore.
An egregore
like this is rare.
It can be borne out
of the concerns
and fears that so many people
have toward this compound.
It can grow more powerful
as it absorbs
the massive spiritual energies
which cover this place.
So, it's the result of people
going in there
over and over again,
investigating,
or dark things
that happen there,
and this strange entity
has been born out there.
So, in theory, if it's created
like that,
then couldn't we combat it
by using, like, positivity?
Right. The positive intention
will push it out.
BERRY:
So, tomorrow's game plan.
- I'm ready to get it
out of there. - Right.
Especially for Jesse
and the family
because they're here every day.
This is an extension
of their home.
Yep.
And we are gonna attack
it tomorrow
with what it hates most.
- Right.
- And that is positivity.
- It's never dealt with an organized
attack back at it. - Right.
Like, it's not gonna know
how to handle it.
- No.
- You're coming in...
Yeah.
- Guns blazing.
- ...guns blazing.
I do not think it's going
to know what hit it.
I just don't think
it's ready
for what's gonna
happen tomorrow.
♪♪
BERRY:
The owner, Jesse, needs to know
what he's got going on here.
We're meeting with him
to explain
that it isn't
a simple haunting --
that we've got to get it out,
and for that,
we'll need his help.
So, we think there is something
negative and dark
in the nursing home now.
That being said, what is it?
We started looking into the idea
of thought forms,
and we realized that people
have always thought
there was something dark
in that nursing home
and that investigators
keep coming in looking
for this dark thing,
and that over time,
they created this thing.
We think people have looked
at that building so much
as a space
for something negative
that they created
this thought form out there,
and that's why it took a while
and it built up
and now it's become
its own ghost.
- Right.
- And we need to get rid of it
because it's only
gonna get bigger
and it's only gonna
get stronger.
It's just gonna get worse.
- Right.
And it could go
to the other buildings.
It could come into your inn.
And so that's why we need
to get rid of it today.
Okay.
So that's why I asked you
to ask everyone you knew
who had a connection to these
buildings to come here today
because we are gonna
fight fire with fire.
We're gonna create our own
positive thought form,
and we are gonna put it
back in that building.
We're gonna banish it.
BERRY: Right now
we're going to battle.
We had Jesse call in family,
friends, and employees.
It will take the strength of all
these people to fight this.
It's a classic case
of evil versus good.
And there's no way
we're gonna let it win.
We believe that there's
something dark in this building.
And today you guys are gonna
help us get rid of it.
I want you guys to think about
your most positive,
happy experience
with these buildings,
whatever makes you happy
when you think about this place.
And I want you to envision
that light in you.
Inject this building with
that positive, wonderful moment.
BERRY: Repeat after me.
"You are not welcome."
ALL: You are not welcome.
"You are banished."
You are banished.
BRUNI:
The idea of positive energy
may not seem like much,
but in the paranormal realm,
it's extraordinarily powerful.
BRUNI: You keep telling it,
"This is our space."
If something like that comes
back, like, immediately,
you need to reclaim that space
because it is yours.
It's not theirs.
There's no doubt
this made a difference,
but it's up to Jesse
and his family
to stay vigilant
and keep control.
Let us know if anything else
happens in here.
- Sure.
- But I feel like what we did --
I could feel it working
as we did it.
Yeah, it's great.
Thanks for coming in.
Yeah.
Our number-one priority
is always the living,
but in this case,
we got to do even more.
Our battle with evil is going
to make it safe
for the innocent spirits
who remain here,
like the orphans.
