[00:00:42]No, no, no, no.

[00:00:57]Help me.

[00:01:53]No.

[00:01:58]I'm >> sorry.

[00:02:00]I'm asleep. You're going to kill us.

[00:02:04]>> Oh, no.

[00:04:07]Hey, bud. You're up early.

[00:04:10]>> Couldn't sleep.

[00:04:11]>> Why not?

[00:04:13]I >> miss my old room.

[00:04:15]>> You'll adjust. It's only our first night.

[00:04:19]Why are you up so early?

[00:04:21]>> I guess I'm adjusting, too.

[00:04:24]>> When's Wes going to get here?

[00:04:25]>> He'll be here soon. He's just closing the deal on our old apartment, and then he's going to bring the rest of our stop up from Birmingham.

[00:04:31]>> What you looking at?

[00:04:32]>> Family photos. Want to see?

[00:04:35]>> Recognize them?

[00:04:37]>> Of course, silly. That's me. That's you.

[00:04:41]And that's Wes.

[00:04:42]>> Yeah, that's right.

[00:04:45]I'm miss mom and dad.

[00:04:47]>> Me, too.

[00:04:48]But they're watching over us now.

[00:04:54]Hey, since we're both up so early, how about I go get this?

[00:05:01]So, do you want blueberry or chocolate chip or original with just some syrup?

[00:05:07]It's too much to decide.

[00:05:10]>> These are some tough life choices, bud.

[00:05:21]Hey, where can I put my birdhouse? I think I saw a nice bench out front. You could put it on.

[00:05:27]What? Hey, and after that, you need to come in and clean up. Wes will be home any minute.

[00:05:46]Mirror, is that you?

[00:06:14]Hey. Hey. What up?

[00:07:20]You all right?

[00:07:22]>> I'm sorry. You scared me.

[00:07:25]>> I think I'm calling it a night.

[00:07:26]>> Hey, uh, were you in the attic just now?

[00:07:29]I thought I heard something.

[00:07:31]>> Attic's locked. Don't have a key.

[00:07:35]Look, it's an old house. You're going to hear strange noises. Just don't let it get to you. Good night.

[00:10:39]Ethan.

[00:11:33]Looking good in here, sis.

[00:11:34]>> Oh, you remembered. Ethan, go wash your hands.

[00:11:38]>> I can't find my comic book.

[00:11:41]They have to be around here somewhere.

[00:11:42]We packed them.

[00:11:43]>> I packed them. And I can't find them anywhere, which I should know because we've been unpacking these boxes all day.

[00:12:18]Busy day, huh?

[00:12:19]>> Oh, yeah. Work, work, work.

[00:12:21]>> Any interesting new stories?

[00:13:19]Yeah.

[00:13:29]Ethan, >> Ethan, >> are you all right?

[00:13:40]>> I saw something. What did you see?

[00:13:43]>> A monster.

[00:13:45]>> Where?

[00:13:52]>> Wes. No.

[00:13:53]>> I'll be all right, bud.

[00:13:56]It tried to attack me.

[00:13:59]>> Ethan, buddy, there's nothing over here.

[00:14:03]>> Yeah. And Ethan, you shouldn't have been up here in the first place, especially not in the dark. My comic books were in here.

[00:14:09]>> Are you hurt?

[00:14:11]>> I hit my head.

[00:14:12]>> Can you stand up? I >> think so.

[00:14:15]>> All right, come on. Let's get you downstairs.

[00:14:20]>> You about scared us to death, buddy.

[00:15:49]Okay, remember Ethan, look, don't touch.

[00:15:52]>> I'm not five, you know.

[00:15:54]>> Welcome to High Antiques. Be with you in a minute.

[00:15:57]>> Hey, Vera, look at this.

[00:16:03]>> Cute, isn't it?

[00:16:06]That belonged to a local family. It's been sitting there collecting dust for 30 years. I can't believe no one wanted it.

[00:16:12]>> You're new in town, aren't you?

[00:16:13]>> Just moved in.

[00:16:15]>> Came from an old house on the old back road. The locals think it's haunted.

[00:16:21]Several brutal murders happened there.

[00:16:24]>> How awful.

[00:16:26]>> But it it's just a legend, right? I mean, every town has something like this.

[00:16:30]>> If you say so.

[00:16:32]>> I'm so sorry I didn't introduce myself.

[00:16:34]My name is Alfred.

[00:16:35]>> It's nice to meet you. I'm Vera.

[00:16:38]You know, it's crazy, but I think I've seen you somewhere before.

[00:16:43]>> I don't think so.

[00:16:44]>> He's just being modest. You probably saw him on the news.

[00:16:47]>> Yes, that's it. I'm Wes.

[00:16:50]>> Oh, and this right here is Ethan.

[00:16:51]>> Hello.

[00:16:55]>> Where'd you get this?

[00:16:56]>> It was in an old trunk in our attic.

[00:16:58]>> Uh, >> we were wondering if you could tell us something about it.

[00:17:05]Yeah.

[00:17:19]Where did you say you found this?

[00:17:20]>> In our attic?

[00:17:22]>> No. What house?

[00:17:23]>> Uh, it it's out on the old county road.

[00:17:25]Uh, Bell Houseian. The the one with the big columns.

[00:17:28]>> I'm sorry, folks. I don't think I can help you with this.

[00:17:30]>> But it is an antique, right?

[00:17:32]>> It's nothing valuable. I suggest you get rid of it. Get rid of it.

[00:17:36]>> Yes. Yes. Yes.

[00:17:38]>> Look, I'm really very sorry. There's nothing I can do to help you. Nothing.

[00:17:44]>> Do yourselves a favor. Get out of that house.

[00:18:23]I swear there's got to be 100 rats in that attic.

[00:18:41]I hate to say it, but we're going to have to call the exterminator.

[00:18:46]>> Great. Something else we can afford.

[00:18:50]>> Our finances have out.

[00:18:52]>> Heading that way.

[00:18:56]Well, if we need to, we can sell some things. This house is full of antiques.

[00:19:04]>> That is absolutely out of the question.

[00:19:10]>> I uh I mean, I don't think we should.

[00:19:15]They're part of the house.

[00:19:23]>> Should you be drinking all that coffee right before you go to bed? You know what makes you cranky?

[00:19:28]>> I'm not cranky. I just have a lot of work to get done.

[00:19:33]>> I understand. I just wanted to let you know.

[00:19:37]>> Thanks.

[00:19:42]>> How's Ethan?

[00:19:44]>> He's sleeping. I think he finally got over what happened the other night.

[00:19:48]>> That's good.

[00:19:51]>> Better yet, how are things at work?

[00:19:57]I'm trying to make the best of it, but ever since I've come back, they think they can load me up. And with inflation through the roof, they know I can't afford to say no.

[00:20:10]>> Just promise me something.

[00:20:12]>> What?

[00:20:14]>> Promise me that you won't fall into the same trap as last time.

[00:20:18]>> Vera, I'm trying my best. Promise me, Wes.

[00:20:24]>> All right, I promise.

[00:20:27]>> Thank you.

[00:20:30]>> I'm going up. Try not to stay up too late yourself.

[00:20:45]You know, it's the strangest thing. She keeps hearing the scratching, but we can't figure out what's making it.

[00:20:52]>> Could be mice or squirrels.

[00:20:55]>> Well, you know, that's what we thought, too. But, uh, >> well, they could be burning through the walls, which can lead to all kinds of problems, >> such as worst case scenario, they could chew through the electrical, and that could start a fire.

[00:21:10]>> Great.

[00:21:13]Well, let's hope not.

[00:21:16]>> All right. Well, uh, I'll let you get to your work.

[00:21:18]>> All right.

[00:22:55]Get out.

[00:23:06]Okay.

[00:23:08]Okay. Yeah, sure. I'll take it.

[00:23:12]Yeah, thanks.

[00:23:16]>> What's wrong?

[00:23:18]>> Some big new story they want me to cover on top of my usual stuff.

[00:23:22]>> Is it a lot?

[00:23:24]>> It's an ongoing investigation. And uh it's going to take several nights a week.

[00:23:29]>> Well, everything will be all right.

[00:23:31]You'll get through this.

[00:23:33]>> Yeah.

[00:23:34]>> Come on. It's late and you need to get some sleep.

[00:23:37]>> Yeah. I'll be up in a bit. I've got a few things to do.

[00:23:39]>> All right. Good night.

[00:23:40]>> Good night.

[00:24:19]Lights out. 2 minutes.

[00:25:46]Come on. Dad.

[00:26:42]Hey, Come on. Move.

[00:26:55]>> Ethan.

[00:26:57]Ethan.

[00:26:59]>> What's wrong? What happened?

[00:27:01]>> Someone's in here.

[00:27:03]>> What? Where?

[00:27:05]They're over there.

[00:27:08]>> Ethan, buddy, no one is here.

[00:27:11]>> No. Yes. I saw it with my own eyes. It's just your imagination.

[00:27:17]>> No, I know what I saw. It started scratching all over the walls and then it attacked me.

[00:27:25]I think it must have hurt.

[00:27:42]Now, Ethan, I think it's best if you stay up here and take it easy for the rest of today. All right. I don't want to.

[00:27:52]I think it's best if you do.

[00:27:55]Is it because you're afraid?

[00:28:01]Remember what we discussed, Ethan?

[00:28:04]Face my fears.

[00:28:07]>> That's right.

[00:28:09]>> It'll be all right. We're just going to go downstairs. Do you want me to keep your door open?

[00:28:15]>> We're just going to go down and talk for a bit >> and then I'll come back up to see you.

[00:28:19]All right.

[00:28:25]>> See you later, Ethan.

[00:28:29]>> Good evening. I'm Wes Winters filling in tonight for Tom Harris. Crime and government red tape are no longer just issues of big American cities. They're now reaching small towns. For many small cities and towns, city halls are struggling to deal with increasingly complex economic and social problems, some of which are beginning to threaten their ways of life.

[00:28:54]Over the next two months, I will be conducting an ongoing investigation looking at the difficulties many small American cities are now facing and what this means for North Alabama.

[00:30:03]Ethan, what are you doing in my bed?

[00:30:06]>> The scratching was too loud. I couldn't sleep.

[00:30:10]>> Ethan, buddy.

[00:30:17]Stay here.

[00:31:55]Who is that?

[00:31:58]Who's up there?

[00:32:14]Whoever you are, you better show yourself right now or I'm going to call the police.

[00:32:49]More than that.

[00:33:01]Part of the thing. Part of the thing.

[00:33:26]Apple.

[00:34:23]Nothing.

[00:34:25]>> No, Wes. I know. I saw something.

[00:34:28]>> Then I don't know what else to say.

[00:34:30]There's nothing up there.

[00:34:31]>> What? Do you think I'm lying?

[00:34:34]>> I think the move has been stressful on all of us.

[00:34:37]>> Wes, I don't like it here. I want to go home. This is our home. There's nothing to be scared of.

[00:34:46]I know it isn't easy, but you have to move on. Don't forget, we moved here to get away from the past. We packed up our memories. We packed up our clothes. But all of this, we agreed to leave that behind us.

[00:35:02]>> Wes, that is not what this is about.

[00:35:04]While you're out there, I'm here in a different town in a different house and I'm alone.

[00:35:10]>> You have Ethan.

[00:35:11]>> That's not the same. And you know it.

[00:35:13]Look, while you're out in the adult world, I'm just >> jumping at shadows.

[00:35:28]Wait.

[00:35:32]I'm sorry.

[00:35:40]Look, tomorrow's Friday.

[00:35:42]I'll take off early and we'll have dinner together and uh maybe we'll go see a movie or something.

[00:35:50]Okay.

[00:35:53]>> All right.

[00:36:00]See, isn't this exciting?

[00:36:06]>> Why do bad things happen to good people?

[00:36:12]>> I don't know, Ethan. I I don't know.

[00:36:18]Everything happens for a reason, I guess.

[00:36:20]>> But why did God take mom and dad away from us?

[00:36:26]Some things we just can't explain. But we don't go through anything we can't handle.

[00:36:32]>> But why are bad things happening to us here?

[00:36:38]>> Well, Ethan, maybe it isn't God.

[00:36:42]Maybe it's the devil.

[00:36:47]>> Is there something wrong with Wes?

[00:36:49]>> Why?

[00:36:51]>> He seems different. I mean, like after mom and dad died, but worse.

[00:36:57]>> He's had a lot of bad breaks lately, but he's trying to keep it together now.

[00:37:01]>> But when I talk to him, it seems like he's a completely different person.

[00:37:05]>> Are you scared of him?

[00:37:08]>> Sometimes.

[00:37:11]>> Ethan, Wes would never do anything to hurt you. I wouldn't let him.

[00:37:16]Understand?

[00:37:17]>> Uhhuh.

[00:37:20]Hey, look over there. I didn't even know that was on the property. I'll race you to the way here.

[00:37:25]>> Ethan, we don't know that it's safe.

[00:37:30]>> Ethan, please slow down. That pier might be dangerous.

[00:37:38]>> All right, Ethan, you win.

[00:37:41]Let's walk the rest way. Huh?

[00:37:42]>> Okay.

[00:37:43]>> All right.

[00:37:45]Hey, careful. Stay close to me.

[00:37:49]Isn't it beautiful?

[00:37:51]>> I can't believe we didn't know this was back here.

[00:37:53]>> Yeah.

[00:37:54]>> Oh, we should go swimming next summer.

[00:37:55]Doesn't that sound like fun?

[00:37:57]>> Yeah.

[00:37:58]>> It's peaceful out here, don't you think?

[00:38:00]>> Yeah.

[00:38:01]>> We'll have to show Wes. He'll love it.

[00:38:03]>> Yeah.

[00:38:04]>> Yeah. Is that the best you can do?

[00:38:07]>> Yeah.

[00:38:08]>> Come on, we better get back to the house. Arisa, >> last one back to the house is a rotten egg. Hey, no fair. Come on. You're going to have to run faster than that. I'm >> Hey, I meant to call earlier.

[00:38:40]>> Wes, you promised.

[00:38:42]>> I know, but >> it's a big story. You can't afford to lose your job.

[00:38:48]>> So, you can't be mad at me.

[00:38:52]>> Can't you just say no?

[00:38:54]>> This story could be a big break for me.

[00:38:59]>> Wes, it was just for one night.

[00:39:04]I've got a lot to do.

[00:39:07]Don't wait up.

[00:40:31]I think I'm losing my mind.

[00:40:35]>> Aren't the anti-depressants helping?

[00:40:38]>> I'm not taking my anti-depressants.

[00:40:40]>> Fra, in order to get better, it is imperative to take your medication.

[00:40:44]exactly is prescribed.

[00:40:46]>> No, no, it's it's I I can't find them anywhere. It's like they just vanished into thinner.

[00:40:54]>> Some of the side effects when you abruptly stop taking your anti-depressants include the experiencing of disturbing thoughts or images.

[00:41:02]>> But Ethan seen them, too.

[00:41:04]>> What about your brother Wes? Has he also experienced these occurrences?

[00:41:10]>> Wes has a way to explain everything.

[00:41:14]It's You know what? He's got his own problems. Okay. I thought he was in a better place, but he has gone to a much darker place and it was way worse than 5 months ago.

[00:41:27]Miss Winters, I'm going to ask this just once, and I only want you to answer if you feel completely comfortable.

[00:41:35]Have you experienced any kind of mistreatment from your brother, physical or mental?

[00:41:41]>> No. No. Wes, he would never. Okay, there's something you have to understand about Wes.

[00:41:49]He is the most compassionate person I know. He would do anything for Ethan and me.

[00:41:57]He's been through so much trauma and he just bottles it all inside cuz he thinks he has to be strong for us.

[00:42:04]He went through so much trauma during the war and then with the accident so shortly after that it's it just sent him over the edge and he has these bouts of uncontrollable rage. But that's what happens, isn't it?

[00:42:20]When you've been through that much trauma, especially as much as Wes has.

[00:42:28]I think this sudden relapse is my fault.

[00:42:35]Oh, do you mind if I check in on Ethan before I go?

[00:42:39]>> You know, Ethan's just really tired after everything that's happened. I think it's better if we just let him sleep.

[00:42:44]>> Then that's all the more reason I should check in on him.

[00:42:48]>> Dr. McNeil, I appreciate it, but we should wait till next time.

[00:42:53]Vera, clearly something about your brother has disturbed you, and I feel like there's something you're not telling me. Are you and Ethan? All right. You don't have to cover for your brother, especially not to me. I'm not covering for him. Often people construct these fantastic stories, ghosts, and ghouls, to protect themselves from the horrible truth so they can carry on.

[00:43:18]It's >> Dr. McNeel, thank you so much. But please not right now.

[00:44:53]Come on.

[00:45:19]Ethan.

[00:45:22]Ethan, don't be afraid. It's just Dr. McNeel.

[00:46:17]Ethan, is that you?

[00:46:20]>> Ethan, are you up?

[00:46:35]Dr. McNeely scared me. What are you doing?

[00:46:42]How did you get back in?

[00:46:46]Dr. McNeel, are you all right?

[00:46:50]Dr. McNeel.

[00:46:52]Dr. McNeel. Dr. McNeel.

[00:47:06]What do you know, >> Miss? Would you mind keeping your voice down, please?

[00:47:13]What on earth are you talking about?

[00:47:14]>> Spare me. You know something. You know that something was going on in that house, and you didn't say a word. Now I want to know everything.

[00:47:21]>> I was trying to protect you.

[00:47:23]>> Oh, by keeping me in the dark.

[00:47:24]>> I warned you to leave, but you didn't believe me. My brother and I are scared for our lives and we don't know where to go or who to turn to. And you're our only hope.

[00:47:39]>> Where is it?

[00:47:41]>> My brother Wes, he's wearing it.

[00:47:44]>> How long?

[00:47:46]>> Long enough.

[00:47:53]>> I'm afraid there's nothing left that can be done. No, I I can't accept that. No, it's trying to destroy my family.

[00:47:58]>> Miss, something malevolent resides in that ring.

[00:48:04]>> I tried to help a family with it back in the 40s, but the entity was too strong.

[00:48:09]>> There must be something.

[00:48:16]>> All right, I know someone who could help.

[00:48:43]Vera.

[00:49:56]Part of the family part of the house.

[00:50:19]Part of the family. Part of the house.

[00:50:23]Part of the family. Part of the house.

[00:50:26]Part of the family. Part of the house.

[00:50:30]Part of the family. Part of the house.

[00:50:33]Part of the family. Part of the house.

[00:50:37]Part of the family. Part of the house.

[00:50:40]Part of the family. Part of the house.

[00:51:05]Part of the family. Part of that house.

[00:51:36]A no.

[00:52:13]Shine off. Shine.

[00:52:37]Ethan, what are you doing out of bed?

[00:52:43]Are you okay, Ethan? Why won't you answer me?

[00:52:57]What happened to your neck?

[00:53:00]Ethan, please say something. Just talk to me. Talk to me.

[00:53:06]He tried to kill me.

[00:53:10]Who?

[00:53:11]The man in the secret room.

[00:54:28]Good evening, Mr. Winters.

[00:54:38]What?

[00:54:40]It's me.

[00:54:58]>> What'd you see?

[00:55:01]>> Nothing.

[00:55:02]Absolutely nothing.

[00:55:05]>> And you were up in the room in the attic the same Ethan was in.

[00:55:08]>> Yes. There's only one room up there.

[00:55:11]>> And he didn't find anything.

[00:55:13]>> I didn't see a thing.

[00:55:17]How's Ethan?

[00:55:19]>> I put him to bed. I think he's sleeping.

[00:55:21]>> That's for the best.

[00:55:27]I'm sure he'll be much better by tomorrow, just like last night. But there must have been some mistake. There must be more than one room.

[00:55:36]>> It had to be the same room. There was a hole in the wall just like Ethan said.

[00:55:43]>> That's just This doesn't make any sense.

[00:55:48]>> I mean, how else do you explain his injuries? Something had to have happened to him.

[00:55:55]>> Ethan must have done it to himself.

[00:56:01]I won't accept that.

[00:56:03]>> Outside of everything he's told us, there isn't anything else.

[00:56:08]With everything going on, he hasn't gotten enough attention.

[00:56:13]I think this is his way of letting us know.

[00:56:16]>> Are you kidding?

[00:56:18]>> Well, how do you explain it?

[00:56:19]>> I can't.

[00:56:23]But I know someone who can. The antique shop owner. He has a sister and she's a parasychologist. Maybe she can help us.

[00:56:29]Oh, this is just like you to do something this crazy once I'm finally bringing in some money. And I bet they're giving you a great discount just because you're so desperate. How much deeper in debt do I have to go before you realize?

[00:56:43]Living under a bridge, digging through dumpsters, holding little signs at intersections. Sounds like fun, doesn't it? Yes.

[00:56:51]>> Vera, I think the only demons you're facing are your own. We don't need someone to help the house. We need someone to help you.

[00:57:12]>> Excuse me, miss.

[00:57:13]>> Please leave me alone.

[00:57:15]>> But I'm Dr. Jackie Hayyatt from the university.

[00:57:19]>> Oh, please forgive me. I'm Vera.

[00:57:22]>> Nice to meet you.

[00:57:24]So, how does a psychologist become involved in the supernatural?

[00:57:29]>> Well, actually, I grew up with psychic abilities, so I thought it was a good idea to pursue parasychology.

[00:57:35]>> Did Alfred tell you anything about what's been happening?

[00:57:37]>> Only in a very general way.

[00:57:39]>> Did he tell you about my brother?

[00:57:42]>> Only that you have, too.

[00:57:44]>> So, he really didn't tell you anything about her experiences.

[00:57:47]>> No, not a word.

[00:57:50]So, I guess he wanted to rely on your judgment.

[00:57:54]>> Well, that's usually the case. The university is a bit skeptical of my department. It isn't widely accepted in the academic community.

[00:58:03]>> So, say someone approaches you because they believe they're experiencing paranormal phenomena.

[00:58:10]>> What do you do?

[00:58:12]>> Well, first I would need to research the case myself to see if there's any weight to the claim. And what if this person believes the spirit is trying to control someone else?

[00:58:22]>> Well, then I would highly suggest seeking psychological treatment before diving off into the supernatural.

[00:58:29]>> Well, it just so happens that I think Mouse is haunted.

[00:58:33]It's it's um it's changing my older brother and I think it's trying to hurt my family.

[00:58:40]>> Well, then that's even further reason to look for a medical explanation first.

[00:58:44]>> Why? Well, because if there's a psychological problem, looking to the paranormal will only make the situation a lot worse.

[00:58:52]>> Nothing could make this worse.

[00:58:53]>> You don't understand. Before the university will even think about opening this, I've got to do a psychological exam first. And if that fails, I have to provide physical proof that there's intervention needed.

[00:59:05]>> Can you please just come to the house?

[00:59:07]>> Well, yes, I can, but I have to perform a psychological exam.

[00:59:11]>> No, that's not what we need. I already saw a psychiatrist and even she was attacked. You're our last hope. Why won't anyone help us?

[00:59:17]>> Look, you you're still not understanding.

[00:59:19]>> No, I know my brother. You could create a copy that looks and sounds just like him. But you couldn't fool me. I know it was a fake in my heart, IN MY SOUL. I WOULD KNOW IT. THIS PERSON who is living in my house, PARADING AROUND HIM, ISN'T MY BROTHER.

[00:59:34]NOW, when you come to the house, you better be absolutely certain that all that is wrong with us is just in our heads and isn't something paranormal.

[00:59:41]You better be certain.

[01:00:08]It feels like it's watching us.

[01:00:12]Yeah.

[01:00:24]>> Sensing something.

[01:00:27]>> It wants us here.

[01:00:36]>> Thanks for coming. Please come in.

[01:00:43]Are you alone?

[01:00:45]>> Um, no. Ethan, my little brother, he's upstairs somewhere. He's just a little shy.

[01:00:50]>> And your other brother, where's >> Wes? Uh, he's at work.

[01:00:55]He actually doesn't know I invited you here today. Uh, he won't be home till later tonight.

[01:01:02]So, where should we start?

[01:01:04]>> Uh, I think we should start where the most activity is occurring.

[01:01:07]>> That'll be the attic. this way.

[01:01:13]>> With everything happening, why not just leave?

[01:01:17]>> Uh, trust me, I would if I could, but um things are tight. We sank our inheritance into fixing this place.

[01:01:44]Yeah, we stay out of there without the key to lock it. We did the best we could.

[01:02:16]Help me.

[01:02:32]Part of them. Part of the part of the family. Part of the Did you pick something up?

[01:02:49]>> This isn't good.

[01:02:52]Isn't good.

[01:02:55]Usually, this is something I like to ease my clients into slowly, but it just it just takes too long and I don't I don't think we have much time to waste.

[01:03:05]>> Are we in danger?

[01:03:09]It's difficult to explain.

[01:03:12]There's there's so much pain here, so much yearning and remorse, terror, grief, and anger. This place is infested with spirits caught in the paramagnetic grip of this house.

[01:03:29]>> But what >> it's it's the darkness.

[01:03:33]See, it's a magnetic force created by tragic events that release psychic energy into the surroundings.

[01:03:40]It it works much the same way as a battery. The darkness is attracted to the negative energy that's released by trauma and distress.

[01:03:52]>> It inspires negative energy and it inflicts anger and sorrow into the minds of its inhabitants.

[01:04:02]But that still isn't enough.

[01:04:06]It requires bloodshed to survive. See, the souls it's claimed remain trapped in limbo between our world in the next.

[01:04:17]They're merely pawns, torture souls that are made to relive their demise over and over again just just for this house's pleasure.

[01:04:29]But there's there's one spirit that frightens me, though.

[01:04:35]In many ways, it seems to be the heart of this house.

[01:04:40]>> What does it want?

[01:04:51]It wants your brother, Wes.

[01:04:54]More specifically, it wants to be your brother. It needs to be your brother in order to keep this house from dying.

[01:05:02]>> This entity has bonded itself to that ring and through that can inhabit a person's body.

[01:05:09]>> But I I think eventually the spirit will break its bonds with that ring and make a more permanent one with your brother.

[01:05:16]>> What happens then?

[01:05:22]There won't be any of Wes to bring back.

[01:05:27]>> This dark entity craves life and will stop at nothing to get it.

[01:05:31]>> But first things first, we need to gather a small team and the proper equipment.

[01:05:39]>> We need to leave. I need to get my family out of here right now.

[01:05:42]>> It won't do any good. The bonding process has already begun.

[01:05:48]just separating yourself from that ring or or leaving this house won't won't do any good.

[01:05:55]This spirit craves your family and will stop at nothing until he devours each of you.

[01:06:03]And this isn't the first time.

[01:06:07]Your ancestors built this house, and it has a long history of claiming their lives.

[01:06:17]I wouldn't be at all surprised if the entity we're dealing with is a member of your family.

[01:06:27]>> Part of the family, part of the house.

[01:06:35]Look, you are stronger than it is. We'll do everything in our power to protect you and your family. Do you understand?

[01:07:09]Where are they?

[01:07:24]That's What do you think you're doing?

[01:07:51]>> Wes, >> what do you think you're doing?

[01:07:59]>> I just thought we should talk about what happened earlier tonight.

[01:08:02]>> Is it because you think we're in danger?

[01:08:05]>> I'm scared for Ethan. Wes, >> are you taking your medication? Would I lie to you?

[01:08:13]>> I don't know.

[01:08:20]>> Would you?

[01:08:23]>> You took them?

[01:08:25]>> I found them in the trash.

[01:08:28]>> They're so far gone that you can't even remember throwing them away.

[01:08:31]>> No, that's impossible. I would never do that.

[01:08:33]>> How could you, Veron?

[01:08:35]I can't believe you would do this to our family. Think of Ethan.

[01:08:41]>> Wes, I swear they just vanished.

[01:08:44]>> Is that what all of these ghost sightings are? Hallucinations? Because you can't be a responsible adult.

[01:08:50]>> I would even be surprised if you were the one who attacked Ethan the other night.

[01:08:55]>> Please just listen to me and take off the ring. It'll feel better. It's preventing you from seeing the truth and it's trying to divide us. All this time you've been trying to make me out to be the monster when it's you. You leave me no choice but to have you locked away.

[01:09:12]>> Let's let go of me.

[01:09:17]>> I'm so sorry.

[01:09:20]I didn't mean to.

[01:09:48]Oh, come on.

[01:09:50]Oh, come on.

[01:10:16]Thank you.

[01:11:17]Okay.

[01:11:20]So, what's all of this for? Well, we want to see if we can capture any phenomena that may occur during the table tipping as proof for the university.

[01:11:30]>> Guy will be filming the entire session.

[01:11:34]Chris over there will be snapping some pictures and Nancy will be putting all this on tape.

[01:11:39]>> Where's Ethan?

[01:11:40]>> He's staying with relatives tonight during this. He'll be back tomorrow.

[01:11:43]>> I think it's best that he isn't here for this.

[01:11:52]wear this.

[01:11:53]>> Is that really necessary?

[01:11:56]>> We need to do everything that we can to contact the spirits. It seems that this entity is connected to that ring, so maybe this will elicit some kind of response.

[01:12:07]>> Couldn't we just put the ring back in the box and dispose of it?

[01:12:11]>> I wish it were that easy, but we're worried that simply removing the ring from the house won't be enough. What about destroying it?

[01:12:20]>> That could make the situation much worse. See, destroying that ring will set him free and allowing more of a connection with you.

[01:12:28]>> We'll get started when you're ready to place the ring on your finger.

[01:12:50]Okay, is everyone ready?

[01:13:05]All right, let's begin.

[01:13:09]>> Everyone place their fingertips on the edge of the table.

[01:13:13]This will give the spirit energy.

[01:13:16]Remember, contact with the spirit is never guaranteed. But if we do make contact, the spirit will tilt the table in response.

[01:13:25]A single tilt will mean yes, where a rocking of the table will mean no.

[01:13:30]Whatever you do, do not speak unless you're asking a question.

[01:13:36]And absolutely do not remove your hands from the table as this will break the circle and connection will be lost.

[01:13:43]Yes.

[01:13:45]Lastly and most importantly, envision yourself surrounded by the white light of protection.

[01:13:54]This will ward off all evil spirits.

[01:14:00]Okay, everyone place their fingers around the perimeter.

[01:14:08]Do you feel the energy moving through the table?

[01:14:13]Good.

[01:14:14]Let's begin.

[01:14:19]We are calling out to the spirits of this house. If you are present, make yourself known.

[01:14:27]Is anyone there?

[01:14:30]Is there anyone that wants to make contact?

[01:14:36]I say again, is there anyone there?

[01:14:42]>> Are we in the presence of the spirit residing in this house?

[01:14:51]>> Yes.

[01:14:53]>> Were you murdered in this house?

[01:15:01]Did you commit suicide?

[01:15:07]>> What? What's wrong?

[01:15:10]>> Are you the one acting through Wes right now?

[01:15:29]Are you the one playing the music?

[01:15:33]>> Okay, you need to stop now. Don't >> break the circle. We need to hear what the spirit has to say. It might be our only way to save him.

[01:15:41]>> Wes, can you hear me? Please stay with us. Wes, >> are you the one oppressing this family?

[01:15:52]Is that what you call it?

[01:15:54]>> Who are you?

[01:15:55]>> The master of this house.

[01:15:58]>> What is your name?

[01:15:59]>> Pattius.

[01:16:05]>> Why won't you let my brother go?

[01:16:07]>> He's already mine.

[01:16:08]>> Now you're all going to die.

[01:16:12]>> Break the connection now.

[01:16:14]>> Stop.

[01:16:16]I COMMAND SOME OF THEM.

[01:16:20]All right.

[01:16:21]All right then. How's everybody?

[01:16:24]>> Clearly, we have >> made contact with something.

[01:16:28]>> We're okay.

[01:16:28]>> I just need everyone to be calm. Try to to get your bearings together.

[01:16:31]>> Is everyone else okay?

[01:16:34]>> I want everybody to go back through your footage and make sure you >> uh Nancy Did you get it?

[01:17:00]>> It's okay.

[01:17:01]>> Yeah, it's okay. It's going to be okay.

[01:17:03]>> We got it.

[01:17:07]>> Okay.

[01:17:13]>> Can you believe that? fancy bailing on us like that. She had a physical encounter with an entity, something most of us only dream of. And instead of being in awe, she freaked out.

[01:17:25]>> I guess she realized she was in the wrong field tonight.

[01:17:29]>> She'll be sleeping with the lights on for a while.

[01:17:34]>> Do you feel the energy moving through the table?

[01:17:41]>> Is anyone there?

[01:17:45]Is there anyone that wants to become?

[01:17:57]>> Were you murdered in this house?

[01:18:03]>> Did you commit suicide?

[01:18:09]>> What's wrong?

[01:18:11]Are you the one acting? West right now.

[01:18:15]>> Okay, this has gone too far. We need to stop now.

[01:18:17]>> Don't break the circle. We need to hear what the spirit has to say. It might be our only way to save him.

[01:18:24]>> Can you hear me? Please stay with this.

[01:18:28]>> Guys, come look at this.

[01:18:33]>> What do you make of it?

[01:18:35]>> Are you sure this isn't double exposure or something?

[01:18:38]>> No, I don't think so.

[01:18:40]>> Take a look at that one.

[01:18:42]call Jackie.

[01:19:42]Hello.

[01:19:43]Is anyone there?

[01:19:45]>> It's Chris. I need to talk to Jackie.

[01:19:48]>> This is an emergency. Hello.

[01:21:46]Oh.

[01:21:59]What's that? Please, please help me.

[01:22:00]Please.

[01:22:27]guy. There he is.

[01:22:28]>> Wait.

[01:22:35]>> Okay, go.

[01:22:38]>> Let's check over there.

[01:22:43]Hey, what's that out in the water?

[01:22:50]It's Vera.

[01:22:52]Grab her.

[01:22:54]>> Come on, Vera. Breathe.

[01:22:55]>> You can do it. Breathe.

[01:22:57]>> You can do it. Breathe.

[01:23:02]Very.

[01:23:05]>> Well, you didn't do it well enough, Wes.

[01:23:07]She's still alive.

[01:23:08]>> What are you talking about?

[01:23:09]>> Don't give me that. You know what you did.

[01:23:11]>> I didn't do anything. I've been asleep on THE COUCH. YOU TRIED TO KILL VERA. WE FOUND HER FLOATING IN THE SWAMP OUT BACK.

[01:23:17]>> That's impossible.

[01:23:19]>> Wes, when did you put that ring on?

[01:23:22]>> I didn't.

[01:23:26]>> Where is she?

[01:23:27]>> She's out front with Chris.

[01:23:31]>> Vera. Oh, Vera. Vera, I'm so sorry. It wasn't me. I would never do that to you.

[01:23:37]>> I know it wasn't you.

[01:23:39]>> Are you okay? I'm just a little shaken, but I'm fine.

[01:23:44]>> Okay, good.

[01:23:56]>> Hey, >> what's wrong?

[01:23:58]>> Work called me in. Is that okay?

[01:24:00]>> Yeah, just don't get into trouble.

[01:24:02]>> You sure?

[01:24:02]>> Yeah, we'll be fine.

[01:24:04]>> All right. I love you.

[01:24:05]>> I love you, too. Be careful.

[01:25:40]You're Alice. You were murdered in this house.

[01:25:45]>> Help me stop it from happening again.

[01:25:48]>> I tried. I tried to scare them away, but it didn't work. It's too late.

[01:25:57]>> No, there has to be something. It collects the souls of the living to torture them. But they must be taken by someone they love. It makes them do it.

[01:26:11]>> But But Wes isn't wearing the ring. It has no control. It always has control.

[01:26:19]Once it makes the connection, it won't stop till it destroys every last bit of you.

[01:26:25]>> No. No. There has to be another way.

[01:26:33]It doesn't want me saying anymore.

[01:26:35]>> Please, just tell me. It will try everything to stop you. But no, some of us here aren't like the others.

[01:27:05]It's you, isn't it?

[01:27:11]I can sense your foul presence.

[01:27:17]>> But you don't scare me.

[01:27:36]You were trapped in here, weren't you?

[01:27:42]>> Your family did this to you.

[01:27:46]They boarded you up in here with nothing but a candle and a rope to hang yourself.

[01:28:04]I can help you.

[01:28:06]>> Don't you want help?

[01:28:15]>> So, you exist in darkness and you want them to be in darkness, too, don't you?

[01:28:26]Well, if you won't let me help you, then let me go.

[01:28:51]Help me. Help me.

[01:28:59]Jackie.

[01:29:03]>> Jackie, help me.

[01:29:14]Jackie, >> how did it steal itself?

[01:29:16]>> Here.

[01:29:24]I don't know what happened, Wes. It was like the room sealed itself with Jackie still inside. Alfred had to take her to the hospital.

[01:29:33]>> Are you alone right now?

[01:29:35]>> No. Angela dropped Ethan off a little while ago and Chris and Guy stayed behind to help.

[01:29:41]>> I'm coming home right now.

[01:29:43]>> No, you can't afford to get in trouble.

[01:29:46]>> I don't care.

[01:29:48]This thing was too powerful for Jackie.

[01:29:51]I want to make sure you and Ethan are all right.

[01:29:55]>> It's fine.

[01:29:57]Strangely enough, I actually feel good.

[01:30:00]Really, I do. With everything Jackie's done, the house feels so much better.

[01:30:06]>> Yeah. Don't get used to it because we aren't staying.

[01:30:09]>> I know.

[01:30:11]I know. We had such high hopes for this place.

[01:30:15]I guess I'll see you tonight. Hey, call me if anything happens.

[01:30:19]>> I will.

[01:30:20]>> All right.

[01:30:22]Well, >> bye, Vera.

[01:30:25]>> I was guy. Where are you going?

[01:30:46]Is guy out here? Oh, yeah. He just went around the back of the house. Oh, great.

[01:30:50]If you hurry, you might be able to catch him.

[01:30:54]>> What's wrong?

[01:30:56]>> Alfred just called. He said we need to bring the box back to the lab ASAP.

[01:31:00]>> Okay. Well, if you need me, I'll be inside.

[01:31:02]>> Thanks.

[01:31:04]>> Guy. Guy.

[01:31:08]Guy.

[01:31:10]Guy.

[01:31:15]What is he?

[01:31:22]Guy, what are you doing out here? Are you okay?

[01:31:29]What are you doing?

[01:31:33]Guy.

[01:31:34]Guy, what's wrong?

[01:31:56]Hello, >> Vera.

[01:31:58]>> It's Alfred.

[01:32:00]>> Hi, Alfred. How's Jackie?

[01:32:03]>> She's She's fine. But Vera, I need you to listen to me right now.

[01:32:06]>> Did Guy and Chris get the box back to you?

[01:32:08]>> What?

[01:32:10]Chris told me that you called earlier and asked him to bring the box back.

[01:32:13]>> Vera, I never called them.

[01:32:18]>> Alfred, I think we have a bad connection.

[01:32:23]>> Vera. Vera, I need you to leave the house right now.

[01:32:30]We're on our way now.

[01:32:34]>> Alfred, >> wait here. You think I'm going to let you face this alone?

[01:32:39]>> I almost lost you once. I am not risking it again.

[01:32:42]>> You won't. This family needs us both.

[01:32:45]Come on.

[01:33:03]Are you guys okay?

[01:33:27]Ethan, wake up.

[01:33:29]>> We're leaving now.

[01:33:44]Go back go.

[01:34:17]Come on.

[01:34:22]Come on.

[01:34:30]It's okay. It's okay. It's okay.

[01:34:42]Please help me.

[01:34:48]>> Very >> Ethan. SOMEBODY HELP. Please help.

[01:35:04]Vera.

[01:35:07]>> Vera, open the door. It's me.

[01:35:13]Open the door. Oh, Vera. Ethan, open the door.

[01:35:35]LRA, help. Help me, LRA. Someone help, please.

[01:35:40]Help. VERA.
