The Dead Files (2011–…): Season 8, Episode 4 - Gateway to Hell - full transcript
The team heads to rural Texas, where a Lesbian couple believes it's being tormented by the dead, but Amy finds a lot more than they were bargaining for.
This is a guy who has
killed several people.
She calls him "the big, scary man."
Something grabbed my chest.
My eyes were pitch-black.
We're dealing with a demon.
You don't mess with my kids.
"I'm gonna tear your [Bleep] apart."
Bad, bad little girl.
There's a dark presence.
My name is Amy Allan.
These things, they're freaking out.
They're from hell.
I see dead people.
They were being hunted.
I speak to dead people.
They were setting people on fire,
burning them alive.
And they speak to me.
Her neck got broken.
But there's only one way to
know if my findings are real.
I hear a gunshot.
I rely on my partner.
I'm Steve Di Schiavi.
I'm a retired New York
City homicide detective.
Something's not right here.
And I know every person,
every house has secrets.
It's not safe here.
It's my job to reveal them.
Are any of them buried on the property?
They're all buried here.
But Steve and I never speak...
We never communicate
during an investigation.
Until the very end...
I can't do it no more.
When we uncover if it's
safe for you to stay...
Holy [Bleep] Look at this.
Or time to get out.
It does not have a happy ending.
Something kills people here.
I'm out here in the small
town of Lake Jackson, Texas.
It's about an hour south of Houston.
I got called in by a mother of four.
Now, she sounded bad,
says whatever's in the house
is torturing her family.
They've been pushed, scratched, bruised,
and had things thrown at them.
She's fighting mad and
says if we can't help her,
someone's gonna get seriously hurt.
Before Amy arrives,
I clear the area of
any leading information.
Photographs, personal items,
and names throughout this house
need to be covered or removed.
When I'm done, the location
will be ready for tonight's walk.
There's this little
girl, and she comes out.
And her name's Casey.
And she has long blonde hair,
and she's, like, got
this little dress on.
Uh, she's probably
like 8 or 9 years old,
and she said, "If you
don't believe in God,
you're dead and going to Hell."
So as she's, like, saying that,
she, like, gets all demonic-looking.
And then, this creepy guy comes up.
And he looks like seven-foot,
like, trying to be
intimidating and scary.
This guy
is definitely interacting
with several people here.
I think this is a guy who
has killed several people.
So, Lisa, when
we spoke on the phone,
you sounded scared, but you
also sounded really angry.
It's hard.
It's really hard, and
it gets harder every day.
I just want to, like, break
down and cry and scream,
but if I lose it, my kids'll lose it.
We're done, you know? We're done.
This is our final straw.
All of our eggs are in this basket.
So who exactly lives here with you?
We have my partner, Jennifer;
my son Gary Paul; my daughter Victoria;
my daughter Jillian; my
son Ayden; and myself.
You have a special-needs child?
- It's Victoria.
- Victoria.
- And how old is Victoria?
- 11.
- What is her special need?
- She has Down syndrome.
Okay.
Give me an idea of exactly
what's happening in the house.
It started out with doors
opening, doors closing.
Then, it was, like, noises.
Now we're seeing
apparitions, shadow people,
and it's getting physical.
You know, I can't tell my kids,
"Don't be scared of the dark,"
because I'm scared of the dark.
I'm scared of everything that we see.
I'm scared of what's gonna happen next.
You know, you just don't
feel like you're ever alone.
You feel like you're
being watched constantly.
You know, it's like,
"Am I losing my mind?"
Just looking at you, I can see
it's taken an emotional toll on you.
Yeah.
It's also taken a toll,
like, on my health.
I have anxiety.
My chest is tightening.
Migraines, depression.
I constantly feel like
I'm having a panic attack
in my own house.
- Have you been to the doctor?
- Been to the doctor.
They don't know why I'm having it.
I'm getting my ass kicked, you know?
And I feel like I'm fighting
a battle I can't win.
Somebody's [Bleep] a
lot of [Bleep] pain.
I keep getting illness,
just constant illness.
Sick, sick, sick.
High blood pressure, cancer, migraines,
possibly, like, heart issues.
I feel sick to my stomach.
I'm feeling like that
creepy man is, like,
standing right behind me and,
like, breathing on my neck.
I don't usually get creeped
out, but I'm kind of creeped out.
So, Lisa, why'd you bring me in here?
This is my 4-year-old
daughter Jillian's room,
and she's had experiences.
Okay. Like what?
She was about a year and a half old.
And I was getting her
dressed, and the door opened.
And she turned and looked
at it and said, "Oh, no.
Not you again."
That was her first, like, full sentence.
What else has she experienced in here?
She has been pulled out of her bed.
So what happened?
She was asleep up here,
and she was out cold.
And then, there was this
loud bang and crying.
I come in.
Jillian's on the floor.
And there was, like,
these lines in the bed
like she had been pulled.
She had nightmares where
she jumps out of bed
or anything like that?
- Seizures?
- Mnh-mnh.
There's really no explanation.
This would kill me, as a
father, to have to hear this.
It's rough.
Your room is supposed to be
your spot, your safe zone,
your comfort zone.
Well, this kid's 4 years old, and
she's been through a lot already.
Is it affecting her in any way?
She just, like, gets, like,
these anger rages, like,
mood swings like a teenager.
I'm just pissed because I can't stop it.
You know, it's, like
You can't stop it.
You can't see it. You can't fight it.
I just hear crying,
crying... weeping, sobbing.
It's, like, in the walls.
Bad, bad little girl.
All the time, getting in
trouble, acting out, being bad.
Something's making
her do these things...
and I think she is possessed
by the dead little girl.
It's bad. It's really bad.
It's really bad.
The other living people
here think it's, um, like,
night terrors.
I don't know if they know
how dire it is, actually.
Well, Lisa, to be honest with you,
I was hoping you weren't
gonna take me into this room.
- This is Tori's room, right?
- Mm-hmm.
This is your daughter
with Down syndrome.
Right.
So obviously, she's going
through something in here.
Definitely.
We've had toys that
go off by themselves.
She's mentioned that she has
seen a little girl in here
that plays with her toys.
Okay. Does anything else go on in here?
She has told me that
there is a big...
She calls him "the big, scary man."
And he stands here in
her room, and he yells.
Did she describe him to you?
It's kind of hard for her because,
like, unfortunately, mentally,
she's around like 3, 4.
Right. Okay.
And then, she also used
to have a chair in here.
There was a man that sat in the chair
and just watched her.
He's a friggin' coward, is what he is.
We would hear her at night
just screaming, you know,
"Stop. Shut up. Leave me alone."
Now, you're sure it wasn't
a nightmare she was having?
No, she was awake.
It's hard. It's gotten unbearable.
I don't even know what we're gonna do.
I need to know what I'm up against.
I need to know how to get rid of it.
I think this is the worst room.
I see a girl, older.
She's got, like, brown hair.
Creepy dead guy is... influencing her.
So we have the dead little girl
who's influencing that
person in that room...
and the dead creepy guy
who's influencing this girl.
I've never seen dead people,
two in the same place,
trying to [Bleep] possess kids.
I don't know. That
seems suspicious to me.
This one's way more influenced
than that one so far.
She's way gone.
So why don't you tell me
about some of the
experiences you're having?
I don't really remember it,
but my mom told me that,
uh, I got up out of my bed.
And my eyes were pitch-black,
and I started attacking her.
I don't remember anything.
How old were you when this happened?
12 or something.
You're 13 now?
Yeah, almost 14.
When you were awake, have
you ever attacked your mother?
No.
That's my mom. You would
never attack your mom.
- I mean, that's pretty strange.
- Mm-hmm.
Anything else?
One night in the summer,
I woke up freezing cold,
and I looked at my shirt,
and it was being pulled up like this.
And then, when I stared at it,
it just went down like that.
So it looked like something
was pulling on your shirt?
- Yeah.
- And you were freezing?
Were you sick?
Did you have a fever
or anything like that?
- No.
- Okay. Where were you?
- Top bunk.
- Top bunk.
Okay. Well, I got to tell you,
I've heard a lot of
stories doing what I do now.
This is pretty out there.
Yeah.
I mean, it's like something
you see in a movie.
If it's really happening,
you guys got a problem.
Bad. Ooh, it's so bad up there!
Bad physical attack.
It's all up there.
Nothing down here, though.
It's this creepy guy
yanking on their jaw.
Yeah, this is [Bleep] nuts.
So, Jennifer, I was talking to Lisa,
and she told me that
you were a skeptic...
- Yes.
- ...before you moved here.
Very much so.
Not anymore, though,
from what I understand.
- No.
- Okay.
So what changed your mind?
Well, one night, my brother
Daniel came to me in a dream.
- Your brother?
- Yes.
He told me I need to
get Lisa and these kids
out of this house.
Okay, so I'm assuming
your brother passed.
Yes.
What happened, if you
don't mind me asking?
He shot himself with
my grandfather's gun.
Okay. Uh, how long ago was that?
Well, it's been about 10 years.
I have a picture of him right here.
How old was he when he passed?
- 24, 25.
- All right.
- So he was young.
- He was young.
What kind of guy was he?
He would give the shirt
off his back for anybody
that he loved and cared about.
That had to be a tough loss.
Mm-hmm.
Lisa and him were friends.
- Is that right?
- That's how I knew who Lisa was.
She was the little girl
running around with my brother.
Okay. That's interesting.
So did he know the kids?
He knew the boys, and
Tori was just a baby.
Okay.
I believe he's here,
and I believe he's trying to protect us.
It sounds like he gave you a warning.
I believe so.
Would you like to get
the hell out of here?
- Yes.
- You would?
In a heartbeat.
I think that there's somebody here
related to these people, I think,
who live here,
who killed himself...
shot himself in the head.
I don't know if he did it here,
but he's attached to them
somehow, and he's here.
He's telling me that
this little girl, Casey,
is evil and not to be trusted.
He's concerned.
I think he's concerned
about somebody here.
He's trying to help, but he can't.
He's, like, trying to intervene.
But creepy guy...
he's got more power.
There's a lot of
activity that happens in here.
Okay. Tell me about some of it.
Well, I was laying in
the middle of the bed,
and Lisa was taking a hot shower.
All of a sudden, I just seen a shadow,
the steam coming out of the bathroom.
It walked down the hallway.
This shadow thing, did it
have an appearance of a human,
or was it just a blob?
It looked like, uh, I
guess like a tall man.
Okay.
Take the Marlboro man
and take his hat off.
You guys taking any kind of drugs that
are making you hallucinate a little bit?
No. I've seen it several
times in our house.
It comes and goes as it pleases.
That's interesting. Anything else?
Well, I was sleeping perfectly fine,
and something grabbed my chest
and started pulling on me.
And it lifted me up off the bed,
and it was pulling me off the bed.
And I kept fighting it and fighting it,
and I couldn't get it off me.
You sure it wasn't a dream?
No, it wasn't a dream.
Whatever it was stunk like death.
Awful smell.
I ended up passing out
from fighting it so hard.
I just kind of collapsed.
What happened to you the
next morning when you woke up?
I had scratches and bruises on my chest.
Did it happen again after that?
It came back to me
about two weeks later,
so I immediately asked,
"What's your name?"
And it said, "My name's
Demas," and it left.
- Demas?
- Demas.
I tried researching
it and looking it up,
and I couldn't find anything.
How do you stay here if
there's something like that?
'Cause I don't want to leave
her alone with the kids.
Abandoning somebody
you love is not right.
Okay.
Okay. So crazy guy likes this room.
He stomps around in
here, crawls on the bed.
I see him, like... jumping.
This big mother[bleep]
is jumping on their bed,
you know?
I feel like they feel, like,
this energy move through them.
He wants to hit them.
Only when there's two people in
the bed, he wants to hit them.
I don't know if they've noticed
if they sleep apart that they sleep,
but if they're together,
all hell breaks loose.
He doesn't like them.
He doesn't approve.
This, you know, is
repulsive. They're disgusting.
He says, "Those kinds of people just,
uh, need to be wiped from
the face of the earth."
I think that we're dealing with a demon.
Comes from outside,
and it comes through.
And I feel really dizzy, and I'm scared.
This thing is really powerful.
It's so angry, like, boom.
The dead people do whatever
the demon wants them to do.
So it's this demon that's
trying to possess the kids?
Yes.
As soon as I got to town,
I called a bunch of locals trying to see
if anyone could help me
out with my investigation.
A local archaeologist
just called back and said
one of the original owners of
Lisa and Jennifer's property
has a wild and tragic story
that ended in bloodshed.
So, Johnney, you mentioned on the phone,
one of the original owners
of my client's property
had an interesting story
I'm gonna want to hear about.
Who was he?
The original landowner was a
man by the name of Abner Jackson,
and he was a planter that came
to Texas originally from Georgia
and settled on this property.
But at the time, he didn't
actually own the property.
And through various
business deals, he was able
to mortgage this property
owned by someone else
to various people so that
he could acquire money
to actually buy the property
from the original landowner.
Okay. So this guy did a scam deal?
- Correct.
- Okay.
So we know this guy's a swindler.
Do you know anything else about him?
He married a wealthy
widow from South Carolina.
Her name was Margaret.
And Margaret and Abner
had five children.
Okay.
In 1857, things really begin
to become very interesting.
Margaret dies, and Abner
takes this opportunity
to bring the family
together and convinces them
that they should not take
their mother's inheritance.
So this guy swindled his kids, too?
Correct. By 1860, he has 285 slaves,
6,000 acres in three
different plantations,
which makes him the
second-largest slave owner
in the state of Texas.
In 1861, the Civil War starts.
The sons all go off to war,
and at the end of the year,
Abner Jackson comes down with malaria.
And he dies.
This demon... it
comes through the back,
and it'll come right in.
And I feel like there's
a lot of activity
that happens in this area
because of this kind of path
that this thing takes.
When it comes in from
outside, it's angry.
It's just like
Goes, "I'm gonna [Bleep]
tear your [Bleep] apart."
Oh, I don't feel good.
It doesn't want me to come out here.
It's like, "Don't you dare."
Doesn't want me to go
there because we'll find it,
and it feels very
threatened if we do that.
It goes after weaknesses,
whether it's physical
or emotional or mental.
It finds it, and that's
how it makes you weak.
I feel really sick and
weak right now, so...
So what happens to the
plantation after Abner dies?
The eldest son, John, gets
sick and returns from the war,
and he operates the plantations,
all three properties,
throughout the Civil War.
Okay. So what about the other sons?
Two of the sons died during the war.
Okay.
The third, George,
comes back after the war,
and he wants his share
of his inheritance.
John basically says, "Why
should I give you anything?"
Okay.
So they get into an argument
here on the plantation.
John gets really upset with George,
and he beats him with a whip.
George sues for his
share of the inheritance.
And he wins his case,
and he gets the Lake Jackson plantation.
So that means George gets the property
that my client's house now sits on.
That is correct.
Did they live in harmony
after that, or what?
No. No.
In 1867, this came to a head.
John came over to ask his brother
to come in to a business deal with him.
Okay.
And George said, "No. I
don't want to do that."
So they got into an argument.
Okay.
And John said,
"Then I'm gonna whip you just
like I whipped you before."
George loses it, pulls out a revolver,
and at point-blank range shoots
John in the chest six times.
He shoots him?
- Kills him.
- All right.
So did the shooting
actually happen right here
- on the property?
- Yes, sir.
It did.
George is indicted, but
he's never brought to trial.
He develops tuberculosis,
and he dies in Galveston.
How old was he when he died?
George was 29 years old when he died.
Like Cain and Abel.
Very much so.
Creepy guy... He's not good.
I think he killed
someone when he was alive.
I think he might have
killed several people.
Any idea when this was?
I think that he was
from a long time ago,
I think before these houses were built.
And he owned this property, this land.
And this is his property,
and what he says goes.
If you need us to investigate
unexplained activity in your home,
Click on "Help Me, Dead
Files!" to submit your story,
and we'll help if we can.
So far, I know
my client's property
was home to hundreds of slaves
and was the site of
a brutal family fight
that ended in murder.
But I need to see if
there's anything else
that could help my case.
Searching through old records,
I find out after the
Jacksons sold the land,
it became a prison camp.
And the conditions there were terrible.
I'm on my way to meet with
a former corrections officer
who says that torture and
abuse were just the beginning
of the story.
So, Reginald, what'd you
find out about this prison camp?
Well, after the Civil War,
the state had to come up with
a way to get free labor back.
And they came up with
this ingenious idea
of using inmate labor as
another form of slave labor.
So it was like slavery all over again.
Exactly.
So in 1872, the Jackson
family lost their property.
Okay.
And at the same time,
it was a company called Ward and DeWitt.
And the state said "We
have these individuals,
and we need to farm them out."
And that's what they did.
They leased the prisoners from
this prison unit in Huntsville.
So I read that the abuse
was pretty bad there.
How bad did it get?
They beat them. They scald them.
They whooped them.
These guys were dying from
scurvies and malnutrition,
and it was just a terrible scene there.
Basically treated like animals.
Yes.
It got so bad that these guys
would cut their fingers off
to keep from having to work.
Some would cut the
tendons in their ankles
so that they wouldn't be able to walk.
Left hand chopped off
to the second joint.
Some even to the extreme of suicide.
Wow.
And when they would run, they
would be shot on the spot,
and they didn't have the
decency to a proper burial.
So they'd just turn over a little soil
and put the dead body in there.
And then, they continued
to move forward.
Okay, so I can assume
the property I'm
investigating has dead bodies
from during this time period.
No doubt.
There's a man, like,
a man on the ground.
His ear... his
ear hurts so bad.
He worked nearby.
He had to wear a uniform of some kind.
Do you know what happened?
It's dark.
It's dirt and grass.
I think people were chasing.
He's very confused.
I think he got attacked.
Very, very painful death.
Very, very [Bleep] painful death.
He's dying. He's dying.
He's dying.
Ah!
Oh There's a neck thing.
Oh
During my walk, I saw
several disturbing scenes,
but the creepy guy
trying to posses the girl
in the green room had
me the most concerned.
There was a little
girl that was in the bed,
and there was this thing next to her.
It had big eyes, weird, bulging.
And they were glowing, and its mouth
was all of these really
sharp, like, teeth.
Amy, is this what you saw?
Yes. That's what I saw.
Now that Amy and I have
completed our investigations,
we're ready to reveal our findings
to each other and our
clients for the first time.
Well, Amy, I'd like you
to meet Lisa and Jennifer.
They live in this house together
and have been going through
a horrible time here.
But that's not why they called us in.
This is why they called us in.
They're raising four
beautiful kids here.
This is Gary Paul, who's 12.
This is Ayden, who's 13.
This is Victoria, who's
11, who has special needs.
This is Jillian, who's
an adorable 4-year-old.
These guys are desperate.
They think the kids are in danger
and have no idea how to fight it.
Oh, how long have you all lived here?
Five years.
When did you start
noticing the strange things?
Almost immediately.
Okay.
This was an extremely intense walk.
I actually was frightened several times,
and I very rarely get unnerved.
When I first arrived, I saw this male,
and he's a conscious dead person.
I thought perhaps there was
some kind of relationship
with somebody who's alive in the house.
I thought maybe in his 30s,
and I got that he killed himself
with a gunshot to the head.
He's concerned about
somebody in the house.
He's reliving his death over and over,
and he's aware of what's
going on around him.
And he's trying to help,
but he's very limited because
he is in a lot of physical pain.
And that makes it very
difficult for him to focus.
I was hoping we wouldn't have
to discuss this at the table,
but... Jennifer, if you don't mind,
would you tell Amy about your brother?
My brother committed suicide.
And... how I met Lisa
was through my brother.
They were best friends.
He came to me in a
dream not too long ago
and said I need to get Lisa
and the babies out of the house.
You know, we had our suspicions,
but it's just painful to
hear that he's not rested.
It's been... a long time,
and, you know, you just
want them to be at peace.
And to find out he's not...
It's very sad.
He'd give the shirt off
his back for anybody.
And he knew the kids.
He was a protector.
I want him to be at peace.
I don't want him suffering or hurting.
Anything else on your walk?
I encountered another dead male,
and I saw that he was
a very big problem here.
I was seeing, like, this weird
dual personality with him,
where it would be, like,
this is how he was in life.
And then, he would morph into
this really awful-looking,
creepy thing with these
teeth and these eyes.
The first location
that I saw there being incidents
was in the master bedroom.
He's looking at the bed, and he's like,
"I hate the people
who sleep in that bed."
He said, "What they're
doing is sick and disgusting.
Those kinds of people
need to be wiped away from
the face of the earth."
I felt that it's possible
that the living might feel his attacks
because he seems like a physical guy.
Might feel him jumping on the bed.
I was sleeping, and
something got on top of me
and was, like, like, on my chest.
- And I was trying to fight it.
- Mm-hmm.
And then, I passed out,
but when I woke back up,
there were scratches and
bruises all over my chest.
Did it say anything?
It said, "My name's Demas."
And what other room'd
you see this guy attack?
The second place that I saw
physical attacks going on
was in the room with the bunk beds.
That's Ayden's room.
And what I saw in there was a
direct line from the nasty guy
to the person in the top bunk.
The creepy guy was trying to wake him up
by taking his hand and
putting it in his mouth
and, like, pulling on his jaw
and trying to make him talk.
And it was... seemed
to be very direct,
like, attack on this person.
Tell Amy about the time
with Ayden where he woke up
and the shirt was being pulled.
He said that, like,
his shirt was being pulled
out, away from his body,
like somebody was pulling on it.
Didn't he black out and attack you?
He, all of a sudden,
had, like, this
outburst of, like, anger.
And he started hitting
me and kicking me.
I don't know what happened,
but that was not my son.
Now, this thing you saw...
was this a person at one time?
- Uh, yes.
- All right.
So who is this [Bleep] You
know anything about them?
He lived here a long time ago.
He owned all this land.
He was not a good man when he was alive
and that I did, in fact, see him,
like, kill a few people
when he was alive.
Well, it
reminds me of somebody
that actually was one
of the original owners
of the property.
Now, back in the 1840s,
a guy named Abner Jackson
settled onto the land with his family.
This is Abner.
Wow.
The thing was this wasn't his land.
What he did was he just settled
on it and pretended it was.
And then, he mortgaged
it to other people,
and with the money he got from them,
he winds up owning over
6,000 acres and 3 plantations,
285 slaves.
He was the second-largest owner
of slaves in Texas at the time.
1861, the war breaks out,
and Abner's four sons go off to war.
Now, about that time,
Abner dropped dead of
malaria within two days,
but he drops dead without a will.
His oldest son, John, got sick,
and they released him
on medical discharge.
And he came back, took over, and
started running the plantation.
I got a map that'll give you
an idea what I'm talking about.
Your house is right about here.
Plantation house was right about
here, where these marks are.
So it's very short distance.
During the war, two of
John's other brothers died.
One other brother, George,
survived and came home,
and he wanted a piece of the action.
John told him, "Forget about it.
You're not getting anything."
John got to the point where they started
a physical fight, and
he whipped his brother.
So George sues him, and he wins.
He gets the property you guys are on.
Little time later, John
decides, "Well, you know,
I got a business deal
for my brother, and I'm
gonna try to hook him into
going into business with me."
Comes over here with his horse,
gets into an argument with him
right in front of the house.
And George pulls out a gun
and shoots him six times
right in the chest,
kills his own brother.
Wow.
You think George could
be this creepy guy?
No. It's this guy.
I just want to know what
his deal is with Ayden.
He hates everyone.
The next thing that happened
was I went into the green room.
That's Tori's room.
I saw a living girl
sitting up in the bed.
That was another person
of interest for him,
and she had dark-brown hair.
He was trying to possess
her and take over her.
This seemed to me that
she's been influenced
pretty successfully by him.
That is pretty far along.
I thought that perhaps the
living would notice some changes
to her personality or behaviors.
The male that I met
earlier, your brother...
he was extremely present in that room,
trying to protect her,
but the creepy guy is
much stronger than him.
You look pretty pissed.
I am.
3:00 in the morning one night,
I heard her saying,
"Stop! Stop! Get off
me! You're hurting me!
You're hurting me!"
Didn't you tell me that she told you
it was a big, scary man in there?
She said he is a big, scary
man, and he yells all the time.
Hmm. I did do a sketch of what I saw.
This is kind of weird.
Oh, geez.
What the [Bleep]
That would be the scary monster
Jill and Tori are seeing.
No wonder our kids can't [Bleep] sleep.
- They don't sleep.
- 'Specially Tori.
You don't [Bleep] with my kids,
and this [Bleep] needs
to get out of our house.
I'm afraid to ask if
there was anything else.
- But is there?
- Yes, there was.
Then, I went into the pink bedroom,
and things were not any better in there.
So that's Jillian's room.
What I heard was crying,
weeping, and sobbing
from the living girl.
I was getting that the living
were thinking that
she was just being bad,
but she was really also being influenced
to act out.
And in her case, it's actually not him.
In her case,
it was a little girl, who
I met outside initially.
What was the reaction
to the little girl?
When she was younger,
she would say that there was
a little girl in a red dress...
- Mm-hmm.
- ...that played with her toys.
Wow.
This living little girl was
feeling a loss of control.
She was very frightened.
She's been ripped out of that bed.
I mean, she's okay,
tucked in, sleeping good.
By the time I hit our bedroom door,
you hear thump.
Started screaming.
Something has ripped her
out of the bed, on the floor,
and it has happened more than once.
Oh, my gosh.
Okay.
My belief is that there
is some kind of devil here.
And it's been here for a very long time.
And it influenced the creepy guy,
more than likely when
he was still alive.
And it's feeding off
of him in his death.
Same with the little
girl, unfortunately.
And he's utilizing her soul
and taking on her appearance
and things of that nature.
Like, this is the frickin' devil.
I had a feeling that there was
a demonic or dark spirit here.
I felt it. I'll go down fighting.
You know, I will go to the
end of the world for my kids.
I will do whatever it takes.
Now, I been doing this
a long time with Amy,
and when you guys were
telling me about the activity,
I had a funny feeling this
wasn't gonna be a good night.
But I never imagined this.
Now we know what you're up against.
Big question is, how do you fight it?
For that answer, I'm
gonna turn it over to Amy.
Many, many people believe
that there are certain areas
across the world that have
these gateways to Hell.
Unfortunately, I think that
this is one of those places.
I think, unfortunately,
the best thing to do is to
get out and get out fast.
And it doesn't end there because
this thing has attached to you.
You guys need someone to
come and do an exorcism
on each one of you.
My worst nightmare just... came true.
Need to leave quickly.
And then, you cannot come back.
Don't even come back
to the frickin' area.
You need to save their souls.
That's the
worst-case scenario, period.
Amy's telling you you
got to get the frig out.
What're you gonna do?
Are you guys gonna take Amy's advice?
- We're gone.
- Yeah, gone, like, tomorrow.
What about the exorcist part?
- Oh, yeah.
- Oh, that's happening.
I'm sorry that it turned
out to be like this.
I honestly knew.
I'll do what I have to do...
For my kids.
The only way Lisa and
Jennifer can save their family
from this demon is to move
as far away as possible.
If they do that and get an exorcism
for every member of their family,
they should be able to
lead a peaceful life.
killed several people.
She calls him "the big, scary man."
Something grabbed my chest.
My eyes were pitch-black.
We're dealing with a demon.
You don't mess with my kids.
"I'm gonna tear your [Bleep] apart."
Bad, bad little girl.
There's a dark presence.
My name is Amy Allan.
These things, they're freaking out.
They're from hell.
I see dead people.
They were being hunted.
I speak to dead people.
They were setting people on fire,
burning them alive.
And they speak to me.
Her neck got broken.
But there's only one way to
know if my findings are real.
I hear a gunshot.
I rely on my partner.
I'm Steve Di Schiavi.
I'm a retired New York
City homicide detective.
Something's not right here.
And I know every person,
every house has secrets.
It's not safe here.
It's my job to reveal them.
Are any of them buried on the property?
They're all buried here.
But Steve and I never speak...
We never communicate
during an investigation.
Until the very end...
I can't do it no more.
When we uncover if it's
safe for you to stay...
Holy [Bleep] Look at this.
Or time to get out.
It does not have a happy ending.
Something kills people here.
I'm out here in the small
town of Lake Jackson, Texas.
It's about an hour south of Houston.
I got called in by a mother of four.
Now, she sounded bad,
says whatever's in the house
is torturing her family.
They've been pushed, scratched, bruised,
and had things thrown at them.
She's fighting mad and
says if we can't help her,
someone's gonna get seriously hurt.
Before Amy arrives,
I clear the area of
any leading information.
Photographs, personal items,
and names throughout this house
need to be covered or removed.
When I'm done, the location
will be ready for tonight's walk.
There's this little
girl, and she comes out.
And her name's Casey.
And she has long blonde hair,
and she's, like, got
this little dress on.
Uh, she's probably
like 8 or 9 years old,
and she said, "If you
don't believe in God,
you're dead and going to Hell."
So as she's, like, saying that,
she, like, gets all demonic-looking.
And then, this creepy guy comes up.
And he looks like seven-foot,
like, trying to be
intimidating and scary.
This guy
is definitely interacting
with several people here.
I think this is a guy who
has killed several people.
So, Lisa, when
we spoke on the phone,
you sounded scared, but you
also sounded really angry.
It's hard.
It's really hard, and
it gets harder every day.
I just want to, like, break
down and cry and scream,
but if I lose it, my kids'll lose it.
We're done, you know? We're done.
This is our final straw.
All of our eggs are in this basket.
So who exactly lives here with you?
We have my partner, Jennifer;
my son Gary Paul; my daughter Victoria;
my daughter Jillian; my
son Ayden; and myself.
You have a special-needs child?
- It's Victoria.
- Victoria.
- And how old is Victoria?
- 11.
- What is her special need?
- She has Down syndrome.
Okay.
Give me an idea of exactly
what's happening in the house.
It started out with doors
opening, doors closing.
Then, it was, like, noises.
Now we're seeing
apparitions, shadow people,
and it's getting physical.
You know, I can't tell my kids,
"Don't be scared of the dark,"
because I'm scared of the dark.
I'm scared of everything that we see.
I'm scared of what's gonna happen next.
You know, you just don't
feel like you're ever alone.
You feel like you're
being watched constantly.
You know, it's like,
"Am I losing my mind?"
Just looking at you, I can see
it's taken an emotional toll on you.
Yeah.
It's also taken a toll,
like, on my health.
I have anxiety.
My chest is tightening.
Migraines, depression.
I constantly feel like
I'm having a panic attack
in my own house.
- Have you been to the doctor?
- Been to the doctor.
They don't know why I'm having it.
I'm getting my ass kicked, you know?
And I feel like I'm fighting
a battle I can't win.
Somebody's [Bleep] a
lot of [Bleep] pain.
I keep getting illness,
just constant illness.
Sick, sick, sick.
High blood pressure, cancer, migraines,
possibly, like, heart issues.
I feel sick to my stomach.
I'm feeling like that
creepy man is, like,
standing right behind me and,
like, breathing on my neck.
I don't usually get creeped
out, but I'm kind of creeped out.
So, Lisa, why'd you bring me in here?
This is my 4-year-old
daughter Jillian's room,
and she's had experiences.
Okay. Like what?
She was about a year and a half old.
And I was getting her
dressed, and the door opened.
And she turned and looked
at it and said, "Oh, no.
Not you again."
That was her first, like, full sentence.
What else has she experienced in here?
She has been pulled out of her bed.
So what happened?
She was asleep up here,
and she was out cold.
And then, there was this
loud bang and crying.
I come in.
Jillian's on the floor.
And there was, like,
these lines in the bed
like she had been pulled.
She had nightmares where
she jumps out of bed
or anything like that?
- Seizures?
- Mnh-mnh.
There's really no explanation.
This would kill me, as a
father, to have to hear this.
It's rough.
Your room is supposed to be
your spot, your safe zone,
your comfort zone.
Well, this kid's 4 years old, and
she's been through a lot already.
Is it affecting her in any way?
She just, like, gets, like,
these anger rages, like,
mood swings like a teenager.
I'm just pissed because I can't stop it.
You know, it's, like
You can't stop it.
You can't see it. You can't fight it.
I just hear crying,
crying... weeping, sobbing.
It's, like, in the walls.
Bad, bad little girl.
All the time, getting in
trouble, acting out, being bad.
Something's making
her do these things...
and I think she is possessed
by the dead little girl.
It's bad. It's really bad.
It's really bad.
The other living people
here think it's, um, like,
night terrors.
I don't know if they know
how dire it is, actually.
Well, Lisa, to be honest with you,
I was hoping you weren't
gonna take me into this room.
- This is Tori's room, right?
- Mm-hmm.
This is your daughter
with Down syndrome.
Right.
So obviously, she's going
through something in here.
Definitely.
We've had toys that
go off by themselves.
She's mentioned that she has
seen a little girl in here
that plays with her toys.
Okay. Does anything else go on in here?
She has told me that
there is a big...
She calls him "the big, scary man."
And he stands here in
her room, and he yells.
Did she describe him to you?
It's kind of hard for her because,
like, unfortunately, mentally,
she's around like 3, 4.
Right. Okay.
And then, she also used
to have a chair in here.
There was a man that sat in the chair
and just watched her.
He's a friggin' coward, is what he is.
We would hear her at night
just screaming, you know,
"Stop. Shut up. Leave me alone."
Now, you're sure it wasn't
a nightmare she was having?
No, she was awake.
It's hard. It's gotten unbearable.
I don't even know what we're gonna do.
I need to know what I'm up against.
I need to know how to get rid of it.
I think this is the worst room.
I see a girl, older.
She's got, like, brown hair.
Creepy dead guy is... influencing her.
So we have the dead little girl
who's influencing that
person in that room...
and the dead creepy guy
who's influencing this girl.
I've never seen dead people,
two in the same place,
trying to [Bleep] possess kids.
I don't know. That
seems suspicious to me.
This one's way more influenced
than that one so far.
She's way gone.
So why don't you tell me
about some of the
experiences you're having?
I don't really remember it,
but my mom told me that,
uh, I got up out of my bed.
And my eyes were pitch-black,
and I started attacking her.
I don't remember anything.
How old were you when this happened?
12 or something.
You're 13 now?
Yeah, almost 14.
When you were awake, have
you ever attacked your mother?
No.
That's my mom. You would
never attack your mom.
- I mean, that's pretty strange.
- Mm-hmm.
Anything else?
One night in the summer,
I woke up freezing cold,
and I looked at my shirt,
and it was being pulled up like this.
And then, when I stared at it,
it just went down like that.
So it looked like something
was pulling on your shirt?
- Yeah.
- And you were freezing?
Were you sick?
Did you have a fever
or anything like that?
- No.
- Okay. Where were you?
- Top bunk.
- Top bunk.
Okay. Well, I got to tell you,
I've heard a lot of
stories doing what I do now.
This is pretty out there.
Yeah.
I mean, it's like something
you see in a movie.
If it's really happening,
you guys got a problem.
Bad. Ooh, it's so bad up there!
Bad physical attack.
It's all up there.
Nothing down here, though.
It's this creepy guy
yanking on their jaw.
Yeah, this is [Bleep] nuts.
So, Jennifer, I was talking to Lisa,
and she told me that
you were a skeptic...
- Yes.
- ...before you moved here.
Very much so.
Not anymore, though,
from what I understand.
- No.
- Okay.
So what changed your mind?
Well, one night, my brother
Daniel came to me in a dream.
- Your brother?
- Yes.
He told me I need to
get Lisa and these kids
out of this house.
Okay, so I'm assuming
your brother passed.
Yes.
What happened, if you
don't mind me asking?
He shot himself with
my grandfather's gun.
Okay. Uh, how long ago was that?
Well, it's been about 10 years.
I have a picture of him right here.
How old was he when he passed?
- 24, 25.
- All right.
- So he was young.
- He was young.
What kind of guy was he?
He would give the shirt
off his back for anybody
that he loved and cared about.
That had to be a tough loss.
Mm-hmm.
Lisa and him were friends.
- Is that right?
- That's how I knew who Lisa was.
She was the little girl
running around with my brother.
Okay. That's interesting.
So did he know the kids?
He knew the boys, and
Tori was just a baby.
Okay.
I believe he's here,
and I believe he's trying to protect us.
It sounds like he gave you a warning.
I believe so.
Would you like to get
the hell out of here?
- Yes.
- You would?
In a heartbeat.
I think that there's somebody here
related to these people, I think,
who live here,
who killed himself...
shot himself in the head.
I don't know if he did it here,
but he's attached to them
somehow, and he's here.
He's telling me that
this little girl, Casey,
is evil and not to be trusted.
He's concerned.
I think he's concerned
about somebody here.
He's trying to help, but he can't.
He's, like, trying to intervene.
But creepy guy...
he's got more power.
There's a lot of
activity that happens in here.
Okay. Tell me about some of it.
Well, I was laying in
the middle of the bed,
and Lisa was taking a hot shower.
All of a sudden, I just seen a shadow,
the steam coming out of the bathroom.
It walked down the hallway.
This shadow thing, did it
have an appearance of a human,
or was it just a blob?
It looked like, uh, I
guess like a tall man.
Okay.
Take the Marlboro man
and take his hat off.
You guys taking any kind of drugs that
are making you hallucinate a little bit?
No. I've seen it several
times in our house.
It comes and goes as it pleases.
That's interesting. Anything else?
Well, I was sleeping perfectly fine,
and something grabbed my chest
and started pulling on me.
And it lifted me up off the bed,
and it was pulling me off the bed.
And I kept fighting it and fighting it,
and I couldn't get it off me.
You sure it wasn't a dream?
No, it wasn't a dream.
Whatever it was stunk like death.
Awful smell.
I ended up passing out
from fighting it so hard.
I just kind of collapsed.
What happened to you the
next morning when you woke up?
I had scratches and bruises on my chest.
Did it happen again after that?
It came back to me
about two weeks later,
so I immediately asked,
"What's your name?"
And it said, "My name's
Demas," and it left.
- Demas?
- Demas.
I tried researching
it and looking it up,
and I couldn't find anything.
How do you stay here if
there's something like that?
'Cause I don't want to leave
her alone with the kids.
Abandoning somebody
you love is not right.
Okay.
Okay. So crazy guy likes this room.
He stomps around in
here, crawls on the bed.
I see him, like... jumping.
This big mother[bleep]
is jumping on their bed,
you know?
I feel like they feel, like,
this energy move through them.
He wants to hit them.
Only when there's two people in
the bed, he wants to hit them.
I don't know if they've noticed
if they sleep apart that they sleep,
but if they're together,
all hell breaks loose.
He doesn't like them.
He doesn't approve.
This, you know, is
repulsive. They're disgusting.
He says, "Those kinds of people just,
uh, need to be wiped from
the face of the earth."
I think that we're dealing with a demon.
Comes from outside,
and it comes through.
And I feel really dizzy, and I'm scared.
This thing is really powerful.
It's so angry, like, boom.
The dead people do whatever
the demon wants them to do.
So it's this demon that's
trying to possess the kids?
Yes.
As soon as I got to town,
I called a bunch of locals trying to see
if anyone could help me
out with my investigation.
A local archaeologist
just called back and said
one of the original owners of
Lisa and Jennifer's property
has a wild and tragic story
that ended in bloodshed.
So, Johnney, you mentioned on the phone,
one of the original owners
of my client's property
had an interesting story
I'm gonna want to hear about.
Who was he?
The original landowner was a
man by the name of Abner Jackson,
and he was a planter that came
to Texas originally from Georgia
and settled on this property.
But at the time, he didn't
actually own the property.
And through various
business deals, he was able
to mortgage this property
owned by someone else
to various people so that
he could acquire money
to actually buy the property
from the original landowner.
Okay. So this guy did a scam deal?
- Correct.
- Okay.
So we know this guy's a swindler.
Do you know anything else about him?
He married a wealthy
widow from South Carolina.
Her name was Margaret.
And Margaret and Abner
had five children.
Okay.
In 1857, things really begin
to become very interesting.
Margaret dies, and Abner
takes this opportunity
to bring the family
together and convinces them
that they should not take
their mother's inheritance.
So this guy swindled his kids, too?
Correct. By 1860, he has 285 slaves,
6,000 acres in three
different plantations,
which makes him the
second-largest slave owner
in the state of Texas.
In 1861, the Civil War starts.
The sons all go off to war,
and at the end of the year,
Abner Jackson comes down with malaria.
And he dies.
This demon... it
comes through the back,
and it'll come right in.
And I feel like there's
a lot of activity
that happens in this area
because of this kind of path
that this thing takes.
When it comes in from
outside, it's angry.
It's just like
Goes, "I'm gonna [Bleep]
tear your [Bleep] apart."
Oh, I don't feel good.
It doesn't want me to come out here.
It's like, "Don't you dare."
Doesn't want me to go
there because we'll find it,
and it feels very
threatened if we do that.
It goes after weaknesses,
whether it's physical
or emotional or mental.
It finds it, and that's
how it makes you weak.
I feel really sick and
weak right now, so...
So what happens to the
plantation after Abner dies?
The eldest son, John, gets
sick and returns from the war,
and he operates the plantations,
all three properties,
throughout the Civil War.
Okay. So what about the other sons?
Two of the sons died during the war.
Okay.
The third, George,
comes back after the war,
and he wants his share
of his inheritance.
John basically says, "Why
should I give you anything?"
Okay.
So they get into an argument
here on the plantation.
John gets really upset with George,
and he beats him with a whip.
George sues for his
share of the inheritance.
And he wins his case,
and he gets the Lake Jackson plantation.
So that means George gets the property
that my client's house now sits on.
That is correct.
Did they live in harmony
after that, or what?
No. No.
In 1867, this came to a head.
John came over to ask his brother
to come in to a business deal with him.
Okay.
And George said, "No. I
don't want to do that."
So they got into an argument.
Okay.
And John said,
"Then I'm gonna whip you just
like I whipped you before."
George loses it, pulls out a revolver,
and at point-blank range shoots
John in the chest six times.
He shoots him?
- Kills him.
- All right.
So did the shooting
actually happen right here
- on the property?
- Yes, sir.
It did.
George is indicted, but
he's never brought to trial.
He develops tuberculosis,
and he dies in Galveston.
How old was he when he died?
George was 29 years old when he died.
Like Cain and Abel.
Very much so.
Creepy guy... He's not good.
I think he killed
someone when he was alive.
I think he might have
killed several people.
Any idea when this was?
I think that he was
from a long time ago,
I think before these houses were built.
And he owned this property, this land.
And this is his property,
and what he says goes.
If you need us to investigate
unexplained activity in your home,
Click on "Help Me, Dead
Files!" to submit your story,
and we'll help if we can.
So far, I know
my client's property
was home to hundreds of slaves
and was the site of
a brutal family fight
that ended in murder.
But I need to see if
there's anything else
that could help my case.
Searching through old records,
I find out after the
Jacksons sold the land,
it became a prison camp.
And the conditions there were terrible.
I'm on my way to meet with
a former corrections officer
who says that torture and
abuse were just the beginning
of the story.
So, Reginald, what'd you
find out about this prison camp?
Well, after the Civil War,
the state had to come up with
a way to get free labor back.
And they came up with
this ingenious idea
of using inmate labor as
another form of slave labor.
So it was like slavery all over again.
Exactly.
So in 1872, the Jackson
family lost their property.
Okay.
And at the same time,
it was a company called Ward and DeWitt.
And the state said "We
have these individuals,
and we need to farm them out."
And that's what they did.
They leased the prisoners from
this prison unit in Huntsville.
So I read that the abuse
was pretty bad there.
How bad did it get?
They beat them. They scald them.
They whooped them.
These guys were dying from
scurvies and malnutrition,
and it was just a terrible scene there.
Basically treated like animals.
Yes.
It got so bad that these guys
would cut their fingers off
to keep from having to work.
Some would cut the
tendons in their ankles
so that they wouldn't be able to walk.
Left hand chopped off
to the second joint.
Some even to the extreme of suicide.
Wow.
And when they would run, they
would be shot on the spot,
and they didn't have the
decency to a proper burial.
So they'd just turn over a little soil
and put the dead body in there.
And then, they continued
to move forward.
Okay, so I can assume
the property I'm
investigating has dead bodies
from during this time period.
No doubt.
There's a man, like,
a man on the ground.
His ear... his
ear hurts so bad.
He worked nearby.
He had to wear a uniform of some kind.
Do you know what happened?
It's dark.
It's dirt and grass.
I think people were chasing.
He's very confused.
I think he got attacked.
Very, very painful death.
Very, very [Bleep] painful death.
He's dying. He's dying.
He's dying.
Ah!
Oh There's a neck thing.
Oh
During my walk, I saw
several disturbing scenes,
but the creepy guy
trying to posses the girl
in the green room had
me the most concerned.
There was a little
girl that was in the bed,
and there was this thing next to her.
It had big eyes, weird, bulging.
And they were glowing, and its mouth
was all of these really
sharp, like, teeth.
Amy, is this what you saw?
Yes. That's what I saw.
Now that Amy and I have
completed our investigations,
we're ready to reveal our findings
to each other and our
clients for the first time.
Well, Amy, I'd like you
to meet Lisa and Jennifer.
They live in this house together
and have been going through
a horrible time here.
But that's not why they called us in.
This is why they called us in.
They're raising four
beautiful kids here.
This is Gary Paul, who's 12.
This is Ayden, who's 13.
This is Victoria, who's
11, who has special needs.
This is Jillian, who's
an adorable 4-year-old.
These guys are desperate.
They think the kids are in danger
and have no idea how to fight it.
Oh, how long have you all lived here?
Five years.
When did you start
noticing the strange things?
Almost immediately.
Okay.
This was an extremely intense walk.
I actually was frightened several times,
and I very rarely get unnerved.
When I first arrived, I saw this male,
and he's a conscious dead person.
I thought perhaps there was
some kind of relationship
with somebody who's alive in the house.
I thought maybe in his 30s,
and I got that he killed himself
with a gunshot to the head.
He's concerned about
somebody in the house.
He's reliving his death over and over,
and he's aware of what's
going on around him.
And he's trying to help,
but he's very limited because
he is in a lot of physical pain.
And that makes it very
difficult for him to focus.
I was hoping we wouldn't have
to discuss this at the table,
but... Jennifer, if you don't mind,
would you tell Amy about your brother?
My brother committed suicide.
And... how I met Lisa
was through my brother.
They were best friends.
He came to me in a
dream not too long ago
and said I need to get Lisa
and the babies out of the house.
You know, we had our suspicions,
but it's just painful to
hear that he's not rested.
It's been... a long time,
and, you know, you just
want them to be at peace.
And to find out he's not...
It's very sad.
He'd give the shirt off
his back for anybody.
And he knew the kids.
He was a protector.
I want him to be at peace.
I don't want him suffering or hurting.
Anything else on your walk?
I encountered another dead male,
and I saw that he was
a very big problem here.
I was seeing, like, this weird
dual personality with him,
where it would be, like,
this is how he was in life.
And then, he would morph into
this really awful-looking,
creepy thing with these
teeth and these eyes.
The first location
that I saw there being incidents
was in the master bedroom.
He's looking at the bed, and he's like,
"I hate the people
who sleep in that bed."
He said, "What they're
doing is sick and disgusting.
Those kinds of people
need to be wiped away from
the face of the earth."
I felt that it's possible
that the living might feel his attacks
because he seems like a physical guy.
Might feel him jumping on the bed.
I was sleeping, and
something got on top of me
and was, like, like, on my chest.
- And I was trying to fight it.
- Mm-hmm.
And then, I passed out,
but when I woke back up,
there were scratches and
bruises all over my chest.
Did it say anything?
It said, "My name's Demas."
And what other room'd
you see this guy attack?
The second place that I saw
physical attacks going on
was in the room with the bunk beds.
That's Ayden's room.
And what I saw in there was a
direct line from the nasty guy
to the person in the top bunk.
The creepy guy was trying to wake him up
by taking his hand and
putting it in his mouth
and, like, pulling on his jaw
and trying to make him talk.
And it was... seemed
to be very direct,
like, attack on this person.
Tell Amy about the time
with Ayden where he woke up
and the shirt was being pulled.
He said that, like,
his shirt was being pulled
out, away from his body,
like somebody was pulling on it.
Didn't he black out and attack you?
He, all of a sudden,
had, like, this
outburst of, like, anger.
And he started hitting
me and kicking me.
I don't know what happened,
but that was not my son.
Now, this thing you saw...
was this a person at one time?
- Uh, yes.
- All right.
So who is this [Bleep] You
know anything about them?
He lived here a long time ago.
He owned all this land.
He was not a good man when he was alive
and that I did, in fact, see him,
like, kill a few people
when he was alive.
Well, it
reminds me of somebody
that actually was one
of the original owners
of the property.
Now, back in the 1840s,
a guy named Abner Jackson
settled onto the land with his family.
This is Abner.
Wow.
The thing was this wasn't his land.
What he did was he just settled
on it and pretended it was.
And then, he mortgaged
it to other people,
and with the money he got from them,
he winds up owning over
6,000 acres and 3 plantations,
285 slaves.
He was the second-largest owner
of slaves in Texas at the time.
1861, the war breaks out,
and Abner's four sons go off to war.
Now, about that time,
Abner dropped dead of
malaria within two days,
but he drops dead without a will.
His oldest son, John, got sick,
and they released him
on medical discharge.
And he came back, took over, and
started running the plantation.
I got a map that'll give you
an idea what I'm talking about.
Your house is right about here.
Plantation house was right about
here, where these marks are.
So it's very short distance.
During the war, two of
John's other brothers died.
One other brother, George,
survived and came home,
and he wanted a piece of the action.
John told him, "Forget about it.
You're not getting anything."
John got to the point where they started
a physical fight, and
he whipped his brother.
So George sues him, and he wins.
He gets the property you guys are on.
Little time later, John
decides, "Well, you know,
I got a business deal
for my brother, and I'm
gonna try to hook him into
going into business with me."
Comes over here with his horse,
gets into an argument with him
right in front of the house.
And George pulls out a gun
and shoots him six times
right in the chest,
kills his own brother.
Wow.
You think George could
be this creepy guy?
No. It's this guy.
I just want to know what
his deal is with Ayden.
He hates everyone.
The next thing that happened
was I went into the green room.
That's Tori's room.
I saw a living girl
sitting up in the bed.
That was another person
of interest for him,
and she had dark-brown hair.
He was trying to possess
her and take over her.
This seemed to me that
she's been influenced
pretty successfully by him.
That is pretty far along.
I thought that perhaps the
living would notice some changes
to her personality or behaviors.
The male that I met
earlier, your brother...
he was extremely present in that room,
trying to protect her,
but the creepy guy is
much stronger than him.
You look pretty pissed.
I am.
3:00 in the morning one night,
I heard her saying,
"Stop! Stop! Get off
me! You're hurting me!
You're hurting me!"
Didn't you tell me that she told you
it was a big, scary man in there?
She said he is a big, scary
man, and he yells all the time.
Hmm. I did do a sketch of what I saw.
This is kind of weird.
Oh, geez.
What the [Bleep]
That would be the scary monster
Jill and Tori are seeing.
No wonder our kids can't [Bleep] sleep.
- They don't sleep.
- 'Specially Tori.
You don't [Bleep] with my kids,
and this [Bleep] needs
to get out of our house.
I'm afraid to ask if
there was anything else.
- But is there?
- Yes, there was.
Then, I went into the pink bedroom,
and things were not any better in there.
So that's Jillian's room.
What I heard was crying,
weeping, and sobbing
from the living girl.
I was getting that the living
were thinking that
she was just being bad,
but she was really also being influenced
to act out.
And in her case, it's actually not him.
In her case,
it was a little girl, who
I met outside initially.
What was the reaction
to the little girl?
When she was younger,
she would say that there was
a little girl in a red dress...
- Mm-hmm.
- ...that played with her toys.
Wow.
This living little girl was
feeling a loss of control.
She was very frightened.
She's been ripped out of that bed.
I mean, she's okay,
tucked in, sleeping good.
By the time I hit our bedroom door,
you hear thump.
Started screaming.
Something has ripped her
out of the bed, on the floor,
and it has happened more than once.
Oh, my gosh.
Okay.
My belief is that there
is some kind of devil here.
And it's been here for a very long time.
And it influenced the creepy guy,
more than likely when
he was still alive.
And it's feeding off
of him in his death.
Same with the little
girl, unfortunately.
And he's utilizing her soul
and taking on her appearance
and things of that nature.
Like, this is the frickin' devil.
I had a feeling that there was
a demonic or dark spirit here.
I felt it. I'll go down fighting.
You know, I will go to the
end of the world for my kids.
I will do whatever it takes.
Now, I been doing this
a long time with Amy,
and when you guys were
telling me about the activity,
I had a funny feeling this
wasn't gonna be a good night.
But I never imagined this.
Now we know what you're up against.
Big question is, how do you fight it?
For that answer, I'm
gonna turn it over to Amy.
Many, many people believe
that there are certain areas
across the world that have
these gateways to Hell.
Unfortunately, I think that
this is one of those places.
I think, unfortunately,
the best thing to do is to
get out and get out fast.
And it doesn't end there because
this thing has attached to you.
You guys need someone to
come and do an exorcism
on each one of you.
My worst nightmare just... came true.
Need to leave quickly.
And then, you cannot come back.
Don't even come back
to the frickin' area.
You need to save their souls.
That's the
worst-case scenario, period.
Amy's telling you you
got to get the frig out.
What're you gonna do?
Are you guys gonna take Amy's advice?
- We're gone.
- Yeah, gone, like, tomorrow.
What about the exorcist part?
- Oh, yeah.
- Oh, that's happening.
I'm sorry that it turned
out to be like this.
I honestly knew.
I'll do what I have to do...
For my kids.
The only way Lisa and
Jennifer can save their family
from this demon is to move
as far away as possible.
If they do that and get an exorcism
for every member of their family,
they should be able to
lead a peaceful life.
