The Dead Files (2011–…): Season 9, Episode 2 - Night Terrors - full transcript

There are so many dead people.

I hear, "Crime scene,
crime scene."

There's no way that I will ever
live in this house again.

It seems like chaos.
It's just, like, chaos.

You're lucky you
didn't get killed.

I'm scared to death.

He's not okay.

It's just out of control.

This seems like a possession.

My name is Amy Allan.

Everything was built on blood.



I see dead people.
Very disturbing.

I speak to dead people.

There's victims around him.

Ow.
And they speak to me.

Her voice sounds like death.

But there's only one way
to know if my findings are real.

The living don't
stand a chance here.

I rely on my partner.

I'm Steve Di Schiavi.

I'm a retired New York City
homicide detective.

You could've got killed.

I know ever person,
every house has secrets.

This has come
straight from hell.

It's my job to reveal them.



Your mom was murdered,
right here, in this room.

Yes. She was.
But Steve and I never speak...

We never communicate
during an investigation...

...until the very end...
This was just the beginning.

when we uncover if it's safe
for you to stay...

Oh, my God.

...or time to get out.

They're very bad.

This house
is going to kill me.

I'm in the tiny Ozarks
town of Brumley, Missouri.

Population 91.

I got called in by
a guy named Nick.

Now, he grew up here
and came back with his wife.

And they bought
a little B&B.

Problem is,
the activity's out of control.

Nick says Amy and I
are his last hope

to save his marriage,

his business,
and maybe even his town.

Before Amy arrives,

I need to make sure
any photographs,

religious symbols,
or personal items

that may influence her
findings are removed

or hidden from sight.

When I'm finished,

the location will be ready
for tonight's walk.

Oh.
There are so many dead people.

And it's almost like
you're bumping into people.

There's, like, these two
dominant dead people

that are here.
They were very tran--

like, translucent-looking,
like, um, water.

One is a woman.

She thinks that
living people play games

with her or something.

Then, uh, there's a male.

They hide in the walls
and they watch.

But I caught the male.

And he came out of the wall.

And he was walking
through a hallway.

And he said, uh,
"Why won't they let me go?

I need to go."

So, Nick, once I found
out you were a former Marine

and a former cop,
like myself,

I had to take the case.

What's goin' on?

We have this
beautiful house

that we bought to
live in forever.

It was gonna be
our retirement home.

But we started to find

that there was
paranormal activity

that increased and increased

and got so bad
that my wife

won't even step
in the house anymore.

We actually had
to move out of this house

because of everything
that was happening.

Unless whatever's
in here is gone,

I'm not gonna be able
to get her to move back in.

So you got this
beautiful place,

but you guys
can't live in it?

I could, but I'd be
living here alone.

How much did you
put into this place?

We sunk a ton of time

and money and effort
into restoring it.

This is an old building,

and there's a lot of history,
I'm sure,

but anything
that you might know

that can give me
a lead on my investigation?

Probably biggest thing
is that it was a doctor's office

for many years.

Okay. What made you
turn it into a B&B?

I just couldn't fathom
leaving this place empty.

Has the activity affected
your customers?

Quite a bit.
In 6 months,

we lost 14 couples

that didn't make it
through the night here.

They just left?

They got too creeped out,
packed their bags, left.

I was really afraid that

we were gonna have
to close the doors.

And then, all of a sudden,

we started having
people calling us

because they have heard about
the paranormal activity.

And because of that,
they wanted to come here.

So now it is
a haunted bed-and-breakfast.

Okay.
So let me get this straight.

So it's now no longer
a regular B&B?

Yep.

And you're advertising
it like that?

- We are.
- Big problem for Amy.

- Mm-hmm.
- Just so you know.

If we had not catered
to that group

of people, we would've
gone out of business.

And the house would be
sitting empty today.

Tell me about some
of the activity.

A constant banging...

the feeling of being
watched, apparitions,

shadows,
and major health issues.

What kind of major health
issues and who?

It was my wife.

She'd become sick
in this house.

When we moved,
she got better.

If Amy tells you that
you could keep the place,

but you can't run it
as a haunted attraction anymore,

what would you do?

If we closed it
as a haunted bed-and-breakfast,

we'd disappoint
a lot of people.

The translucent guy who
hides in the walls,

he's pissed.

He, I know, does stuff
to the living directly.

So he's upset.
And he wants out of here,

um, pretty desperately,
actually.

I don't know
who's keeping him here.

I'm, like, seeing, like,
all these things,

like him, like,
being on camera.

I'm definitely thinking
that people come here.

Or they're doing
something here with,

like, recording or videoing
or something with him.

Is this one of the rooms
you rent out to guests?

We do rent this out
to our guests.

And this also was
the hospital room

where sick patients
were treated by the doctor.

A lot of people passed
in this room.

This is the most active room

in the house
for paranormal activity.

Okay.
So what are the experiences?

They just feel like there
is something or someone

standing in the room

watching them
that they can't see.

- Have you ever felt that?
- Many times.

All right, Nick.
Anything else?

I heard a woman
absolutely sobbing.

And now we have
visitors that hear her.

And the big thing is
the banging noises that...

I've heard it,
our guests hear it.

Sounds like it's coming
from the attic.

- You sure it's not rodents?
- Absolutely not.

The structure is checked
on a regular basis

by a professional.

No animal activity up
there at all.

These translucent dead people,

they like to stare
at the living.

And there's a lot of issues
with the walls.

Because they travel
through the walls,

because they live
mostly in the walls,

you know, you would get
your knocks and bangs

and all this kind of.

But the woman really
makes a lot of noise

when she sees this
other dead guy.

She starts crying
when he's around.

Okay.
She's slightly hysterical now.

I think people would
hear her crying, yelling.

It's just out of control.

So, Nick, when a client
brings me to staircases,

I know it's not good.
So what happened.

Well, I'd been up
here working one day.

And as I came down
the stairs,

I felt like a grown man
had come up behind me

and assaulted me
and just hit me, flat-handed,

right in
my shoulder blades.

And I was able to catch myself
on the banister

to keep from going
all the way to the bottom.

Okay. You're
lucky you didn't get killed.

Very!
If I'd gone down those stairs,

I might not be here today.

What are you hoping to get out
of this investigation?

Want to find out what is here
and get rid of

anything that's bad,
anything that's gonna harm us

or our staff or our guests.

And, eventually,
get it to where Marcy

and I can move
back in here,

live here, retire here.

The dead guy lurking
in the walls,

he is very physical.

And he comes out
from the walls over beds.

He likes to poke
the people in the faces

when he comes out
of the walls, over the beds,

to get their attention so that
maybe they'll talk to him.

So he can tell them
that he needs help to get out.

I feel very uncomfortable.

So, Marcy, the house
must really upset you

for not wanting to even
do the interview inside.

Yes.
It scared me.

It scared me
deep into my soul.

I can't live here.

- What have you experienced?
- When we first moved in,

I looked over into the corner
of the dining room,

and I saw a white fog.
And it just --

It just hovered
there in the corner,

where the two walls meet.

And all of a sudden,
it just went -- shoom --

right up into the ceiling,
disappeared.

Okay.
So, smoke wouldn't do that.

No.
It wouldn't stick
around then move.

No. And we don't allow smoking
in the house anyway.

Okay.
So, anything else goin' on?

Well, whenever I walked
around the house,

I heard
footsteps behind me.

I think it was
possibly a soldier.

And he was pacing his steps
like a soldier does.

- So like a march?
- Yeah.

Well, that would have
to scare the hell out of you.

Mm-hmm.

So, Marcy, when I was talking
to Nick, he was telling me

that you've had
some health issues

when you moved in here.
What was going on.

I had a preexisting condition
called cardiomyopathy.

What were the symptoms?

Shortness of breath,
nausea, racing heart.

All right. So I'm a little
confused here though.

If you had this condition
when you came here,

and you were having
the symptoms here,

what makes you think
it's paranormal?

Well, it got so much worse
when we were here,

where I couldn't even
get out of bed some days.

Okay.

And once we moved,
I feel great.

It was something
in this house.

So, Marcy, now that
you're away from the house,

and Nick is basically here
on his own,

I'm sure you're
worried about him.

Yes.
His health is bad.

And he's got all sorts
of heart problems

and stomach problems.

I worry about him
the whole time he's gone.

Marcy, talking to Nick,
he's hoping we can get rid

of whatever's nasty in here
and getting you sick

so that you guys can move back.
Would you be open to that?

You can't pay me
to move back here.

Really?
No. You could give me
a million dollars.

It wouldn't be enough.

Is that causing any kind
of friction between you guys?

- Yes.
- Okay.

How could it not?

He has one dream,
and I have another dream.

And there's no way

that I will ever live
in this house again.

I feel sick.
I feel sick in here.

And I feel, like,
stomach pain very bad.

That could be, like,
a living person though.

Um, like they're
having some kind of

major stomach problems
or intestinal, maybe?

Like, a really bad,
horrible ulcer.

It's really bad.

Like, bad, like, really
need-to-go-to-the-doctor bad.

So, Cherie, I understand
that you and your husband,

Rich, run the place, right?

- We're the innkeepers here.
- Okay.

How do you feel about Nick
wanting this as a haunted hotel?

I apologize to the spirits after
paranormal groups are here.

Why do you feel
the need to apologize?

I apologize to the spirits

because I feel like some
groups stir up.

And then they leave
after they've done their fun.

And then we're left to deal
with the aftermath.

Have you had any experiences
in this place?

Yes.
When I'm downstairs a lot,

I feel the presence
of an old man

in the room.
Okay, explain that to me.

I can just be
cleaning or doing whatever,

and all of a sudden,
I'll feel like somebody's there.

Okay.
Anything else?

I feel like somebody's
looking at me.

It's creepy.

I have a feeling,
one day I'm gonna look up,

and I'll see
something there.

Not sure
how I'm gonna react.

I'm scared to death here.

Okay.

I see a doctor

just standing there.

He's not okay.

He's, like, all up.

You have much idea
if the living perceive him

or how they would
or anything?

I think they
would see a man...

standing in the corners.

I think he's, like,
checking us out.

Like, he seems...

shady, like shifty.

I don't like it in here.

He's not okay.

Nick told me his B&B
used to be a doctor's office.

Now, I can't tell you
how much misinformation

I get from clients.

But in this case,
the lead checked out.

I'm on my way to meet with
a local historian who says

the property was ground zero

for every sick person
for miles around.

So, Greg, thanks for helping me
out with this case.

Turns out, the B&B
was a doctor's office.

Yes.
As a matter of fact,

there were two doctors
that lived in that house

and used it
as their office.

Okay. So what can you tell me
about the first guy?

Dr. Walter Dixon,
born in Canada.

Wound up in Brumley,
Missouri, in 1928

with his wife
and two children.

Okay. So Dr. Dixon, how long
did he last on the property?

Just 2 years.

Okay.
Why only 2 years.

In June of '29,
he became very ill.

- What was goin' on with him.
- He was havin' heart ailments.

Okay.
And then what happens?

November 1930,
he keels over

and passes away
there at the house.

- Okay.
- He was 57 years old,

according to his
death certificate.

The doctor is not
a happy camper.

Can you describe him?

He has a very specific
kind of mustache.

He's wearing a nice suit
'cause he's a doctor.

- So he's educated.
- Uh-huh.

Came from money.
He's very ill.

He's dying.

This guy had way
more going on

than just being a doctor.

I don't know,
something with guns,

guns and fighting.

All right, great.
So after Dixon dies,

what happens
to the property?

The property
went to his son, James.

What can you
tell me about him?

James had a job
with the US Postal Service.

But he became mixed
up with alcoholism

and lost his job

and blamed it
on a certain person.

Okay.

And went and bought
a handgun

and went down
to the post office

looking for this gentleman.

And, of all people
who walked in while

James was frightening
everyone was Dr. Myron Jones.

And he physically took
ahold of James

and disarmed him.

All right. So another doctor
disarms this kid.

Yes. And actually,
that is the second doctor

who owns
your clients' property.

- You're kidding.
- Nope.

- This gentleman right there.
- How long was he here?

He practiced in Brumley
for 12 years.

And he's practicing
out of the house?

- Absolutely.
- All right.

So what kind of illnesses
would he have treated

on my clients' property?

They had rabbit fever,
malaria,

uh, they had typhoid
and Spanish Flu.

All right, Greg.
With the combined 14 years

of practicing
medicine there,

how many patients
would've went through?

Could've been hundreds.

- Hundreds?
- Yes.

Of those hundreds
of patients,

is it chance that somebody
died at the property?

It's very likely that someone
did die at the property, yes.

I'm seeing, like,

all these people coming
and going and coming and going.

It seems like chaos.
It's just, like, chaos!

It's overwhelming.
There's so much,

and there's so much movement
and things happening.

It seems very much
like a pit stop here.

That's, like, the best way

I can describe
all this activity.

It's, like, just, like, crazy.

It's crazy.

This town is
so small, Nick's B&B

is pretty much
the biggest thing going.

So the second I called
the local genealogist,

she knew all about
the property.

She told me the original owner

has a story I'm definitely
gonna want to hear about.

So, Mary, you mentioned
on the phone

that the original owner
of my clients' property here

had a pretty
interesting story.

Yes, he did. His name was
Reverend Jacob Shaw McComb.

So what did this guy do?

Jacob was actually
a preacher,

an educator, and a farmer.

When's he wind up here?

Well, he wound up
here about 1859.

Was he married at the time?
Was he single?

He married a local girl
named Emily in 1853.

Okay.
So what do we know about her?

We don't know
a whole lot about Emily,

but she came from
a large religious family.

All right. So he's here
with his wife, Emily.

- Any kids?
- They actually had 10 children.

Wow.

Now, you had mentioned
on the phone that

he had an interesting story
I'd want to know about.

Tragically, about 1860,

his 5-week-old son
died on the property.

What was the cause?

We don't know
what the cause was.

There were no records
back then of cause of death.

Okay.
So anything else interesting

about this guy
that may help my investigation.

A few years after
his 10th child was born,

his wife passed away.

She died in 1872.
She was only 40 years old.

Okay. Are we pretty confident
she died on the property?

Yes.

Mm.

I'm seeing the translucent
dead woman again.

To me, it seems
like she lived here.

I'd be surprised if
she didn't die here, too,

because she was sick
for a while, you know?

And she's showing me
her wasting away.

How old would you
say she is?

She says, "46."

Any idea what
period she's from.

Maybe 1890s?

Nineteen -- Between
1890 and 1910, I think.

She seems to be,
pretty religious.

So how did the reverend
take his wife's death?

Pretty well.
He actually remarried

3 months later
to a woman named Julie Ann.

He was 36.
And she was about 21.

- Didn't waste no time.
- No, he did not.

- And they had six more children.
- All right.

So now he's on the property
with his second wife

and 15 kids.

- Yes.
- Things go well for him then?

Well, not especially, because
in 1884, Julie Ann died.

And she was only 35.

Okay.
Were they here when she died?

No. They'd already moved
to Kansas by then.

That's a little odd.
This guy's got two young wives,

and both of them drop dead.

- Yes.
- Okay.

So how'd it end up
for this guy? I mean...

He lived to be 92,
actually.

He died in 1927.

So he lived quite a life.

He did.

She's hysterically
crying over

this other dead guy that's here.

Any sense of who
he was in life?

I think he was always
on the move.

There's something
about libraries with him.

He's very, uh --
loves libraries.

And...

But then I
see him farming.

I want to say he died around,
like, 1925, maybe, 1930.

Yeah.
She just starts crying

like a baby when he's around.

in your home,

to submit your story,

and we'll help if we can.

So far, I know

the original owner
of Nick's property

lost his baby
and young wife there.

And chances are good
some patients

may have died
in the upstairs bedrooms

when this house used to be
a doctor's office.

But I need to see
if there's anything else.

Searching through old records,

I find a murder-suicide
that took place in 1971.

Turns out, it happened
right down the street

from Nick and Marcy's property.

So I managed to track down
a relative of the guy

who shot and killed his wife
and then himself.

I know it can't be easy
to talk about.

But she's gonna give me
the inside story

of what led to this tragedy.

Okay.
How were you guys related?

He was
my grandmother's cousin.

His name was
Harold Whittle.

And he was married
to a woman named Ruby.

They were married
for about 21 years.

Here is a picture
of Ruby that I found.

I wasn't able to find
one as an adult.

But I did find one
as a child.

Okay. She was a cute kid.
How old do we think she is here?

I'd say about 8 years old
in that picture.

- About 8? Okay.
- Yes.

Kelly, I know this homicide
happened on July 1, 1971.

- Mm-hmm.
- Take me through the day.

Well, the deputy sheriff

had served Ruby
with divorce papers

earlier that morning.

Okay. So what happens
after that?

Then they had an argument.

And then Ruby had left
the home to go next door

to her brother's house.
Okay.

And, oh, about
10 minutes later,

the son heard a gunshot.

And so he went outside
to investigate,

to see what had happened.

And he'd seen that his mother
had been shot by his father.

Okay.
How old was he?

He was probably about
17 at the time.

- Okay.
- And then the father,

he tried to turn
the gun on himself.

And the gun jammed.

So he went in the house
and got another gun.

I believe it was
a.22-caliber rifle.

And he was successful
in shooting himself.

So he did this all right
in front of the kid?

Yes.

So how far from my clients'
B&B was she murdered?

I'd say about 500 yards.

- Close.
- Very, very close.

Kelly, I appreciate
you talking about this with me.

- I know it can't be easy.
- No, it's not.

It's actually a skeleton
in my family closet.

So, I see a young girl
running,

running, running, running.

It is summertime.

And it's recent because
she's wearing shorts

and a tank top, flip-flops.

Uh, like, I would put it,
like, '80s or '90s.

There's only one
individual chasing her.

It's a male, and it seems to be
a family member.

I hear, "Crime scene,
crime scene."

And I heard a whisper
saying, "Cemetery."

During my walk,
I saw multiple dead people.

But two stood out --
first, the doctor.

His hair was very nice.

He did have
a pretty dark mustache.

He was dressed very well.

Next, I described
the translucent man

coming out of the walls
to attack the living.

He had long, brown hair
that was kind of a mess.

And he's, like, a poker,
so he likes to poke people.

He was poking
the person on the bed.

Amy, is this
what you saw?

Yes.

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.

So, Amy, this is
Nick and Marcy.

They're married.
And they both own this B&B.

But they're hoping
for different outcomes tonight.

Nick loves this place
and is hoping you can show him

a way to keep it running safely.

Marcy can't take
the activity anymore

and asked Nick to move them
out 9 months ago.

She wouldn't come back here if
you gave her a million dollars.

She's hoping you were
gonna tell Nick

to sell it and move on.

With that being said,
I'm gonna ask Amy

to tell us about her walk.

When I first got here,

I was getting
a lot of information.

There was a lot of residual
energy everywhere.

And it was very overwhelming.

So then I came in.

And I went into the bathroom.

And I started to get
physically ill.

And I felt like
a living person

was having issues
with intestines.

And the pain
was extremely sharp.

I was thinking, like, ulcer,

but, like, a really,
really, really bad one.

And it really does need to be
taken care of by a doctor.

- For you to say this is...
- My heart dropped in my stomach.

Wow.

I'd been fighting
a stomach-pancreas issue...

- Oh, no.
- ...for almost a year.

In fact, I'm supposed
to have a surgery this week.

What?

That's funny 'cause you
never mentioned it to me.

I just never thought that was
pertinent to even talk about.

Marcy, tell her
about your health issues.

I have cardiomyopathy,
which is the heart disease.

Okay.

And I have had stomach problems
since we lived here.

And the doctors still have
no understanding of why.

The dead will do
that to you.

I mean, if you have
a heart condition

or any kind of anything,
they'll exacerbate it.

So, when I was in
the downstairs bedroom,

there was this dead guy
standing in the corner.

I got that
he was a doctor.

He was obviously
well-educated.

He came from money.

And I also got that there
was something about guns

and fighting with him.

And I think that the living
could see this guy.

He's just kind
of a stalker.

Now, that room you were talking
about where the doctor is,

that is occupied
by the new innkeepers here.

Cherie always feels there's
a presence in the house.

It's as if someone
is following or watching her.

Did you ever feel
that way, Marcy?

- Uh-huh.
- You did?

Always. I felt like there was
somebody walking behind me.

Amy, this place used to be
a doctor's office, actually.

Wow.

In fact, there was two
different doctors

that lived and treated
patients right here.

First guy was named
Dr. Walter Dixon.

Now, he bought
this place in 1928.

Within a year, he developed
a heart condition.

He was in and out
of the hospital,

ended up dying on
November 11, 1930.

Oh, wow.
What?

Of a heart attack
right on the property.

And I got his
death certificate.

He was 57, though,
when he died.

That is really bad
for you then.

Nick is full of
heart disease, too.

I've had three heart attacks,
five stents.

Oh, boy.

If you're subjected
to dead energy

all the time,

it can physically
affect heart issues,

breathing issues, sleep issues,
and things like that.

So, preexisting
conditions, it just --

Can be made worse.

You mentioned something
about guns, right?

After Dixon's death,
the property went to his son,

James, who happened
to be an alcoholic.

Now, in 1934, James worked
for the post office.

But he got fired.
So he got drunk,

went back to the post office
with the gun,

then tried to take out the guy
that he thinks got him fired.

Now, as he's
in the post office

looking for revenge,

he gets punched by a doctor
named Myron Jones.

And he takes
the gun off of him.

This is where
it gets strange.

The next year,
Jones bought this place

and was the second doctor...

Uh-huh.

...that started treating
patients here.

Now, like Dixon, he treated
people from miles away,

anything from malaria,
typhoid, the flu, dysentery.

Now, I don't have
a photo of Dixon,

but I managed to track
down one of Myron Jones.

So, this is him.

So do you think
this is who you saw?

I did a sketch.

Okay.

I don't know, Amy.

This is a pretty
similar-looking guy.

You take that
mustache away...

I'd say that,
without the mustache,

this drawing looks like
Dr. Jones.

- I definitely see it.
- Mm-hmm.

It could be him.

Marcy, how do you feel

knowing he might be
in your house?

Makes me sad for Nick

because this is such
a huge part of who he is.

So there are two dead people
living in the walls

that I'm concerned about.

The way that I was
seeing them was,

like, translucent with,
like, a watery shimmer.

So, first, I got a female.

And she feels like
the living that are here

are trying
to mess with her.

So what she's done is taken
to the walls and spying.

Wow.

I think that the living
could experience this

in a couple of ways.

The first one
is really feeling

her intense anxiety
and stress.

And the living might
hear this crying.

One night, about 1:00
in the morning,

I heard a woman
absolutely sobbing.

You guys had a reaction when
she said, "Intense anxiety."

Yeah. We have a lot
of visitors here.

And they may be in there

for 30 seconds
and feel anxious.

Lot of 'em,
they can't stay there.

They got to get out.

So did you get any idea

of who she might've been
when she was alive?

The things that I got were
she's super religious,

extremely judgmental
when she was alive.

She's also, to me,
still that way in death.

I got around 1890
to 1910 with her.

I do think
that she died here.

She indicated
that she got an illness

that she wasted from.

Felt like she died
when she was in her 40s.

As for all the crying,
it's over a male.

He was important to her
when she was alive.

And he's important
now in her death.

He was very
well-educated.

He was kind of fixated
with libraries.

And I did see him then,
later, farming.

And I got that he died
between 1925 and 1930.

That's pretty wild,
'cause I have a feeling

I know exactly who
she's talking about.

So now, back in 1859,

a woman named Emily McComb

moved onto the property
with her husband,

Reverend Jacob McComb.
You said the woman

you saw was religious
and judgmental.

Well, Emily came from
a large religious family,

which may be how she wound up
marrying a preacher.

As far as the age
or the time period you got

was pretty damn close.

Emily died right here
on the property in 1872.

- She was only 40 years old.
- Whoa.

Now, you said
the man was educated

and that you also
saw him farming.

Jacob McComb was a reverend.
He was a teacher and a farmer.

- Wow.
- He did all three.

Wow.

Now, you said that
the woman gets really emotional

about the guy, right?

Well, get this.
Her husband, Jacob,

moved on pretty quick
after she died.

Within 3 months,
he buried her and remarried.

Oh, my.

Now, you said the man died
between 1925 and 1930?

Yes.

Well, Reverend McComb died
in 1927.

Wow.

Now, do you think the woman
could've been Emily McComb?

Could be.

Oh, I feel bad
for her now.

The other translucent
entity upstairs

turned out to be a male.

He was upset and angry

because he doesn't want
to be here anymore.

Someone is keeping
him here.

And he's been here
a long time.

He was indicating to me,
like, him being on cameras.

So I did get the impression
that people were coming here

and doing stuff
with recording devices

and video cameras.

I think, Nick, now's a good time
for you to tell Amy

how you're actually
promoting this place.

We promote this as

the Haunted Castle House
Bed-and-Breakfast.

We bought the Castle House
to live in it as our residence.

But the paranormal activity
was so intense

that we wound up
converting it over

into a haunted
bed-and-breakfast.

We've lost 25 percent
of the people

that come and try and stay here.

They can't make it
through the night.

You know, I'm surprised
you're not pissed off about this

'cause you've told
other people off.

Well, to me, it's always
situation by situation.

And in the majority
of those cases,

it's because they were
exploiting horrific situations.

And that, to me,
is unacceptable.

We have the same issues.

Yeah.
We don't allow any of that.

- Things like that.
- We don't do any of that.

We're very,
very respectful.

So, speaking of this guy,

can he do anything
to the living?

He can get a little
physical with the living.

One of the things,
he can, like, bang on doors.

He wants
to get attention.

We hear a loud banging
noise on the second floor.

It's very loud.
It's almost like somebody,

you know, has dropped
a weight up in the attic.

Now, she said,
"He can get physical."

- Yeah.
- Tell her what happened to you.

I was up cleaning
and doing my thing.

And as I started down
the stairs, all of a sudden,

something hit me right
in my shoulder blades.

And I caught myself
before I went

all the way
down the stairs.

Could that be the guy?

Oh, yeah.

And I also saw
this dead guy

coming out of the wall

and poking people
in the bed in the face.

I had a sketch done
of what I saw.

What the?

Wow.

It's creepy.

We get that from
a lot of our visitors.

Someone thumping them
on the gourd,

pulling, playing
with their hair,

pulling their covers down.

I'm not coming back
here after tonight.

Now, Marcy,
you seem pretty dead set

on never
moving back in here.

And that decision's totally
up to you, obviously.

But right now, we're gonna see
if that's even a possibility,

and what that's gonna take.

For that, I'm gonna
turn it over to Amy.

Well, you have options
if you wanted to stay.

But honestly,

you wouldn't be able
to occupy this location

for at least 6 months

because the residual here
is literally out of control.

Now, is that from
all the sick patients

that came through here?

Yes.

And it's affecting
your health directly.

So what would have
to happen is, like,

doing a cleansing

that you would have
to do once a week.

- Mm-hmm.
- Mm.

So putting a mixture of
saltwater in a spray bottle.

Every week, having to spray
down all the walls,

the doors, the floors.

Then, following that,
you would have to burn sage.

Burning sage inside,
top to bottom.

Then going outside,
burning sage outside.

All right. So, once they do
this cleansing stuff,

that'll take care
of the health issues?

Yes.

As far as the dead guy

and the woman.

I'm gonna take 'em home
and then move 'em on.

So you're gonna take the people
in the walls home with you?

Yeah.

Wow.

So that means this
won't happen no more?

- No more banging?
- Right.

No more footsteps
and the crying of the woman.

- Oh, yeah.
- That's all gonna stop tonight?

Yeah.

So what do we do
with this doctor?

Just leave him alone.
He's fine.

Well, now that all
the bad kind of stuff

is gonna be leaving
with her tonight,

would you consider
just going right back

to a regular B&B
and not...

doing the ghost thing?

Yeah, probably so.

It's how we started out as,
as historical, not haunted.

So, yeah.

I wouldn't have
a problem with that.

I see that look
on your face.

Anything that would make you
reconsider moving in here?

Mnh-mnh.
Nothing.

Hmm. No.
You can suggest all you want,

but there are
no alternatives for me.

I understand her concern.

And, uh...
I mean, I respect that.

I don't want her
to come back here,

where she is not going
to be comfortable.

I want Nick to, you know,
do what he wants to do.

But I can't be
part of it.

You gonna try to
talk her out of it?

No.

Sorry.

Nick has a lot
of work to do

if he wants to keep
his employees

and guests
out of harm's way.

But if he does regular
cleansings to clear

all of the residual energy

and goes back to being
a regular B&B,

he should be able to run
his place safely

for many years to come.
