Portals to Hell (2019–…): Season 2, Episode 6 - Haunted Hill House - full transcript
Jack and Katrina travel to Mineral Wells, Texas, to investigate an infamous home plagued by rumors of murder, prostitution, devil worship and demonic activity.
I need to step off site.
There's something more negative,
something more...
Malevolent in there.
Jack: Mm-hmm.
So you believe
there is something in there
other than human.
[ sighs ]
I do.

is this place a portal to hell?

♪♪
alright, katrina, where are we?
We are in mineral wells, texas...
Yep.
...And we are going to
haunted hill house.
And this place is a good one...
Yeah.
...'cause it's, uh,
pretty diabolical.
It is diabolical.
This is the first
televised investigation of it.
So it's kind of new territory.
Absolutely.
This place has got a really
dark, twisted history. Yeah.
Involved prohibition,
it was a brothel.
And then some kind of
devil worshiping satanic cult
allegedly moved in.
Yeah. So kind of all
the things we look for
on our checklist
of super duper haunted.
Yeah. And there's weird motives
connected to it, too.
So it's -- it's -- it's dark.
Shall we?
We shall.
♪♪
so, mineral wells,
like the name would suggest,
they had a lot
of mineral wells here.
They what?! [ laughing ] I know.
Hard to believe.
But people would come
from all over
because they believe
that the water
had healing properties.
People spent so much money here
thinking the mineral wells
would heal them.
And I wonder
if all those people dying
and all that lost hope
actually has something to do
with the paranormal activity
here.
Yeah, I agree.
♪♪
the hill house
was actually built in 1840
originally as a residential home
and then became a brothel
at the turn of the century,
a speakeasy during
prohibition in the '20s,
and then allegedly
a satanic death cult
took it over in the 1970s.
And the current owners bought it
to turn it into
a bed and breakfast,
and then they realized
it's haunted a.F.
Now the only thing
they can really do with it
is utilize it
in paranormal tourism.
Kathy and sonny,
who are the current owners,
don't necessarily want
to shut this place down.
It's still very much open.
They're just wondering if it is
dangerous for people to come in,
and if so, how dangerous?
Mm.
♪♪
oh.
♪♪
ooh.
This is ominous.
Yes.
This looks like
a horror movie poster.
♪♪
let's go meet with the owners.
Alright.
I mean, it's definitely
a scary looking house.
It's not really
the most welcoming.
5-0-1.
♪♪
"welcome to
the haunted hill house."
alright. Shall we? Alright.
I guess we shall.
♪♪
- hello.
- Hello.
- Hi, how are you?
- Hi!
- How's it going?
- Good. How are you?
Awesome.
Welcome to the haunted hill house.
Come on in. Thank you.
Thank you.
Cool.
Thank you.
Jack: So this house has gone
from a brothel in the 1900s
to a speakeasy
during prohibition,
and then allegedly
a satanist lived here
in the 1970s.
But let's talk
about the present.
How long have you guys
owned this place?
About a year and a half now.
How often are people
getting scratched and bit
here, presently?
I would say
once a week, at least.
How many people
have been scratched here now?
We're at 218 scratches.
And do your documentation
of all of that?
Not on all of them,
but we do have
some photos and documentation.
Okay.
Do you believe anything here
is demonic?
I do.
Do you believe that
the satanist group
that lived here
had something
to do with this evil...
Yes. Yes.
...Entity?
Okay.
Okay, so you want to go ahead
and had this way... Yeah.
...And we'll show
you some -- yeah.
♪♪
so, this is our carousel room.
[ erie carousel music plays ]
and right here is our carousel.
I don't know the exact
age or date of it,
but we know it's been here
for a long time.
People that have touched this
have suffered
headaches and nausea
from messing with that.
Huh.
♪♪
this is also the room
where we found
the, um, scratches
and the pentagram --
the little pentagrams.
And you said those are still here, right?
There are parts of them.
I have polished
and tried to get them off
as much as I can,
but you can see a little
star thing right there. Yeah.
And there was
a whole bunch of them.
I would say, like, 6 to 10
of them all over the floor.
You know, my dad
was kind of labeled
a satanist from a lot of people
during the, kind of,
satanic panic, 1980s.
And so I've kind of grown up
being on the receiving end
of people being like,
"you're a satanist.
You're a satanist."
and it's like, well, number one,
they might not be;
number two,
if they are, it's their right.
But if they're doing, like,
nasty ****
and killing people
and doing, kind of,
really crazy diabolical rituals,
that's concerning.
Kathy: Then we have this room
right over here to the left.
Jack: Okay.
♪♪
sonny: And that door
crack right there,
we caught some awesome evidence,
and I'd like to show
you the video... Yeah.
...Where you can
see the spirit looking at us
through the crack of the door
right... There.
Oh, wow.
Watch.
And it goes away.
Out of our investigating,
we found out that
that was toby that did that.
Katrina:
And who's toby?
He's one of
the negative energies
that was brought here
from the family.
Why do you call him toby?
Because his name rings out
in this house.
Kathy: So he says
he is on our --
yeah... On our security cam.
We've got a lot
of video recordings
where he lets us know
what he is.
He says, "I'm a demon.
I'm toby."
[ radio static ]
♪♪
so, want to go ahead and show
you some more locations. Yeah.
♪♪
so, this is a location
where most of the people
have been scratched at.
We believe that the man that ran
the illegal activity here,
the brothel
and the gambling, h--
well, we know his name is willie
and we believe that he's the one
that does the scratches.
How do you know
his name is willie?
Well, we have
the death certificates
and everything from him,
um... That he, you know,
lived here.
So based off of
your paranormal experiences,
this is where everybody
tends to get scratched,
this is where the physical stuff happens.
That's right.
You've had a lot of willie's
name come through... Yes.
...Who, he was believed to be
the guy who started
the gambling
and the prostitution here.
Right.
Okay.
Alright. Alright.
You want to head
to the next...
Yeah.
...Area? Okay.
Alright, this is
our shadowman room.
Come right this way.
♪♪
we have a shadow man here.
He has appeared a few times
in this room.
There's also someone
that has been bit on this bed.
Okay.
The thing that is really tough
about this case is that...
So much of the stuff
that they're telling us
is passed down.
I mean, it's all
secondhand conversations.
So I think
there's a lot of confusion
with that right now.
Kathy: I would like him to go
and take you guys upstairs.
I do not go up there.
I don't like
the feeling up there.
Okay. Alright.
So I guess we go off
with you then.
Okay.
♪♪
♪♪
if you want,
we'll go into joshua's room
and I'll go ahead
and tell you that story.
Okay.
So this is joshua's room.
They hid him from society
back here
because he was different.
He had an elongated skull,
webbed hands, webbed feet.
He was conceived out of a rape.
Willie raped his niece
elizabeth.
She was a prostitute here.
♪♪
[ sighs ] I'm sorry.
He's getting on me right now.
You're feeling
something right now?
[ exhales deeply ]
yeah.
♪♪
[ sighs ] I'm sorry.
He's getting on me right now.
You're feeling
something right now?
[ exhales deeply ]
yeah, oh.
What are you feeling?
I'm feeling goose bumps
and my hair's raising up.
I'm sorry.
Are you okay?
He's on me.
What do you say to him to --
joshua, you know who I am
and you know that I care for you
and that we're just here
telling your story.
And while we're up here,
you're more than welcome
to come with us to each room.
What have you heard as far as
who joshua was and how he died?
Willie was running the brothel
and his niece elizabeth
worked here.
He raped her.
Joshua was conceived.
One day, he was up here
beating joshua.
Elizabeth came up here
and tried to stop it.
He killed her,
took her down the stairs,
came back up here, and --
and and killed joshua.
Mm.
He'll open this door.
I think that he got mad
when we closed it off
'cause there, for a while,
the door,
it wouldn't stay closed.
I would just like to show you
a picture of joshua,
right... Here.
♪♪
you can see
he's got a big skull.
You can see
his little webbed hand.
♪♪
mm-hmm.
Okay?
Mm-kay.
Alright, where to next?
Jack: Lead on.
Joshua, come and follow us.
♪♪
this is the room where
the previous owners of the home
told us that they had
a lot of seances in this room.
And through
our paranormal experiences,
we -- the spirits told us
that they brought forth
seven negative energies
in this room.
Seven demons.
Mm.
Toby is one of the demons.
This is the room where I said,
"is there anybody in the room
with us right now?"
"toby."
and I'm thinking in my mind --
and I didn't say anything.
I'm like, "oh, crap.
He's gonna do something to me."
and that's when I felt -- bam.
It felt like somebody hit me
with a spiritual
two by four bat.
My head...
Like, it felt like it swole
from the back and went forward,
and just -- [ raspberry sound ]
they had helped me
down the stairs.
Katrina: Hmm.
♪♪
jack: Got a lot here. Yeah.
It is a lot.
If we are operating
under the pretense
that this place
is incredibly haunted, um...
We're gonna have
our work cut out for us.
But there's a lot of hearsay,
there's a lot of
convoluted go around.
It's -- it's hard to map out.
So we're gonna pack up,
head out, go back to hotel,
circle the wagons.
Katrina's gonna reach out
to some people she knows
who've come here to investigate.
And I'm just -- I-I want to get
more into the facts, though,
about what
could actually be here
versus speculation.
♪♪
alright.
So, it's day 2
of our investigation
of the hill house
here in mineral wells, texas.
We got a lot
of information yesterday
just kind of dumped
on us by sonny,
and I was having a hard time
tracking... The timeline
between who owned the house
when, when it was built,
what was -- everything.
So I want to talk
to some more witnesses.
I want to get
a better understanding
of the who, what, when,
where, how, and why.
Let's dive on in.
♪♪
katrina: So, right now,
jack and I
are gonna meet with martha,
who is a former police officer
who was later a detective
and now a private eye.
She's also
a paranormal investigator.
And I'm very eager
to talk to her
because as a police officer,
you're trained to be observant.
How did you get involved
with the haunted hill house?
A friend of mine
had me go over there
for an event initially,
because I was a former journalist, also.
Oh, okay.
And I just thought, you know,
this is the house
to do to a-a --
do a historical book on.
I've spent the last year
working on the book
and digging in and trying to
pull out everything I can,
documentation wise.
So then let me ask you,
because, honestly,
jack and I want to
slam our head against the wall.
[ laughter ]
so, elizabeth,
who was apparently
a prostitute killed by willie...
Right.
...Drug down the stairs.
Is there anything
to back that up?
Not yet.
And that's --
and that's one of the things
I'm working on,
is trying to find some
documentation of that. Okay.
And they pretty sure
who the willie is,
who was a former owner of the house.
Right.
And they have
all the documentation
back to the 1880s, 1890s of former
owners of the place. Jack: Mm.
Anything for her son,
or supposed son, joshua?
Any documentation on him?
Not yet.
Not yet.
Have you found any evidence
of anyone dying
on that property?
No, not any hard evidence.
Hmm.
Now, shifting gears
a little bit,
we've heard rumors of...
You know, people practicing
what they call satanism...
Right... And, you know,
do occult-type stuff
and ceremonies and sacrifices.
Have you found anything
that would lead you
to believe that that is real?
Yes, I --
one of my longest interviews,
I had -- I spent several hours
with one of the people who grew
up in the house. Oh, really?
And she talked to me
about that --
them conjuring
or bringing up something,
you know, a little over
10 years ago into the house.
Did she ever say
what her mom was practicing,
or what religion
they were or...?
Well, she said
she was practicing,
you know, dark magic,
black magic.
She said they were
not allowed upstairs.
There's a false fireplace
in the house. Mm-hmm.
And it was open
on the second floor.
And they used to climb up there.
And that's where she had claimed
her mother had her altar in --
in that one room.
I've got some
of the interview here,
if you want to hear
and see -- yeah.
And this is from a girl that
grew up in the house. Yes.
Okay. Do you know what years
she lived there?
Less than 10 years ago.
But how long did she live in the house?
20 years.
Her mother owned the
house for 20 years. Okay.
She doesn't want her name used
or her family's name used.
Jack: Okay.
Martha: Do you have any idea
who the shadowman might be?
How do you describe
the shadowman?
Did you ever find
any weird stuff out
around close to here?
Where'd you found the fingers?
In the jars?
Okay. Did you use
the ouija board?
So is it something --
do you think it's...
Something attached
to the house or the land?
Okay.
Past life of who?
Your family.
That's it.
What do you think she was doing
based off of your interviews?
Based off the interviews,
they were trying
to bring something there
that was never human.
And, uh, you can feel
that energy upstairs --
it's mainly upstairs.
I've been growled at.
I've been scratched.
You've been scratched?
Yeah.
Where?
Right here.
That little dark spot. Yeah.
It looks like somebody
taking their fingernail
and just peel the skin down.
Where were you in the house
when this happened?
I was in the shadowman room
they call it,
which, that's the room where --
the person we're talking about,
that was her room.
What did they conjure in?
Did she ever tell you?
She said they --
they they called toby in.
♪♪
some of her other --
other people with her mother
were up there,
and they -- they conjured him up
and bound toby to the house.
What did she believe toby was?
A demon.
♪♪
her mother owned the house
for 20 years.
♪♪
and based off the interviews,
they were trying
to bring something there
that was never human.
What did they conjure in?
Did she ever tell you?
A demon.
If it's true
that people were calling
entities into the house...
...And that they bound it
to the house,
well, then things start making
a lot of sense, don't they?
Why is this place so haunted?
Is it the town
or is it the house?
I think it's a combination
of all of that.
Martha was able to, I think,
guide us the best
out of everyone we've talked to
about, uh...
Truth versus fiction.
You know, initially, jack and I
had a lot of questions
about what was really
going on in the house.
♪♪
katrina: I think there are some
stakes in this investigation.
One, if there is
something negative and inhuman,
which there sounds
like there is...
♪♪
...You know, any time you mess
with something like that...
...We don't really know
what we're putting ourselves
at risk for.
It's always a risk
when you come in to --
I mean, really,
any investigation,
but especially
investigations like this,
because I have known
investigators
who has severely derailed
since going on an investigation
that was, like,
of a darker nature.
Jack: So, we're gonna leave
these light panels
at the end of our beds.
And if something triggers them,
we'll surely know about it
and hopefully...
Capture some good evidence
in the process.
♪♪
I'm up for whatever.
Okay.
Whatever you want to do.
I -- for some --
whatever reason,
I've been very attracted to this room.
Mm-hmm.
But I can do the shadow room.
No, I'm fine. Honestly. Yeah?
That's fine.
I'll go hang out
with the two twin
terrifying statues in there.
Do you want a mel meter or
rem pod, or anything like that?
You know, I might go quiet
for a little bit. Okay.
Just to start.
Alright.
