1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,000
Alaska, a vast remote wilderness twice the size of Texas.

2
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:10,000
You could walk for a year without seeing another person.

3
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:14,000
In one of the most mysterious corners of the globe.

4
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:17,000
Everything in your being is telling you to get the hell out of there.

5
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:22,000
This is a place hundreds of times more deadly than the Bermuda Triangle.

6
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:24,000
Oh my God!

7
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:27,000
Stories of alien abductions.

8
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:29,000
That was definitely something not from this world.

9
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:33,000
The paranormal, vanishing airplanes and strange beasts.

10
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:36,000
Bigfoot could be anywhere in Alaska hiding out.

11
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:39,000
Have hunted those who dare set foot here.

12
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:43,000
Who's that? Now I feel like something's after me.

13
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:51,000
In the last 30 years, 16,000 people have disappeared without a trace.

14
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:55,000
In the vastness of this country, it's easy to be swallowed up in it.

15
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:59,000
Witnesses tell us their shocking stories.

16
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:00,000
It was horrified.

17
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:04,000
And we've gathered some of the world's leading experts in their field.

18
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:10,000
I wanted to go out and get the evidence myself and say, this is real. This stuff exists.

19
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:15,000
To try and unlock the mystery of the Alaska Triangle.

20
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:29,000
Skagway, one of the most haunted towns in Alaska.

21
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:36,000
Where dreams were broken and men died on the trail of the 19th century gold rush.

22
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:45,000
People bet their entire lives on the possibility of finding these tiny little nuggets of gold.

23
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:49,000
Untold riches and sometimes those hopes were dashed.

24
00:01:50,000 --> 00:02:00,000
From haunted hotels to murder and its brothels, the ghosts from the past continue to taunt its people.

25
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:05,000
He saw the stabbing. It was pretty terrifying.

26
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:10,000
The paranormal here can scare even the heartiest of ghost hunters.

27
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:14,000
Oh, what is it picking up now?

28
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:16,000
What's your name?

29
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:20,000
Oh my God.

30
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:32,000
1897, the beginning of the Klondike gold rush.

31
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:38,000
When stories of striking it rich hit newspaper stands across the US,

32
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:42,000
over 100,000 men would set sail to the port town of Skagway,

33
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:50,000
in the southeastern corner of the Alaska Triangle, in the hope of making their fortune.

34
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:56,000
Historian Steve Levi has written about their journey.

35
00:02:56,000 --> 00:03:08,000
It's a wild time. Doctors, lawyers, piano players, crooks, convicts, prostitutes, everybody was coming through Skagway.

36
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:15,000
The so-called Stam Peters set off on a treacherous 500-mile trek from the port of Skagway

37
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:26,000
up the infamous Golden Staircase, over Alaska's coast mountains to Canada's prized gold fields in Dawson.

38
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:34,000
Most, however, went home penniless, and many never even made it out of Skagway.

39
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:41,000
It's a very violent city, a city that had a death a day.

40
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:46,000
A doctor couldn't make a living in Skagway because people just got shot.

41
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:50,000
Then no one got sick, everybody just got killed.

42
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:57,000
With Skagway's dark history, it's no wonder it's such a draw for lost spirits.

43
00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:07,000
Its cemeteries seem haunted by victims of murder and gold mining tragedies.

44
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:16,000
Hotels seem possessed by women whose husbands went to the gold fields and never returned.

45
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:26,000
Even ghost ships like the Princess Sophia left Skagway cursed with tragedy.

46
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:39,000
Taking more than 300 lives to a watery grave, their ghosts are still seen to this day.

47
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:45,000
Paranormal expert Jeff Richards has been investigating the hauntings here.

48
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:49,000
Those dire circumstances, unfortunately, they leave a mark.

49
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:53,000
They leave a mark, loss of life, loss of hope.

50
00:04:53,000 --> 00:05:05,000
The mysterious forces that comprise the Alaska Triangle could be what keep the spirit here in Skagway present and so active.

51
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:13,000
No more so than in one of the most haunted bars in Skagway, the Red Onion Saloon.

52
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:18,000
But it sold more than liquor during the gold rush.

53
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:25,000
It also sold sex, according to operations manager Elizabeth Levoix.

54
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:33,000
When a miner wanted to enjoy the company of a woman, he would be taken upstairs escorted by the bouncer.

55
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:40,000
He would be shown in to the woman of his choice and then he would pay.

56
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:47,000
Our brothel was one of the most expensive with the highest class ladies.

57
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:59,000
Corey Giacomazzi helped turn the former brothel upstairs into a museum and arrived here in 2004 to become its curator.

58
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:07,000
But soon she realized this place had a dark history of hauntings.

59
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:12,000
She heard footsteps.

60
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:18,000
And fellow workers told Corey about other unexplained experiences.

61
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:27,000
Things will start happening like they can't get into the safe downstairs or they get shoved down the stairs or different things happen.

62
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:39,000
There have been times I've walked into the brothel and you just get this feeling that you just shouldn't be in here.

63
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:46,000
One of her colleagues experienced something even more sinister.

64
00:06:46,000 --> 00:07:01,000
End of the month inventory, she was in the freezer counting pizza doughs.

65
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:05,000
Next thing you know, she ended up being pushed.

66
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:11,000
She felt two hands on her back and a push.

67
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:17,000
But when she tried to escape, things took a turn for the worse.

68
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:20,000
She was struggling to get out.

69
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:28,000
She was ready to yell at somebody for harassing her this way.

70
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:35,000
And there was nobody there.

71
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:42,000
Corey's coworkers soon told her more about the spirit responsible for these ghostly goings on.

72
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:52,000
They called her Lydia.

73
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:59,000
They believe she was one of the working girls who plied their trade at the Red Onion Saloon.

74
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:08,000
She was forced into prostitution, like many women during the gold rush, whose husbands deserted them for the gold fields.

75
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:13,000
Quite often they didn't come back, so the ladies would end up staying here waiting.

76
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:24,000
Some of them turned to the world's oldest profession and Lydia, from what we can gather, came to work here.

77
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:32,000
But the Alaska Triangle, it seems, would soon reveal a more sinister twist to its hauntings.

78
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:44,000
The Red Onion's ghosts would reveal a more ominous history, one of suicide and murder.

79
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:52,000
The Red Onion Saloon, one of the most haunted places in the gold rush ghost town of Skagway.

80
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:59,000
In 1898, it was perhaps the town's most prolific brothel.

81
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:08,000
But a ghost of one of its working women, Lydia, continues to taunt the staff here.

82
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:14,000
One day, a tour guide put her call girl costume on, ready to start her shift.

83
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:19,000
Then, came across a site she'd never forget.

84
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:26,000
She walked into this room at one point. She looked up into this particular corner.

85
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:37,000
She saw this woman hanging from the ceiling. She got scared.

86
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:40,000
And that's when she realized it was Lydia.

87
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:51,000
There also seemed to be something sinister on Lydia's face.

88
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:57,000
She was seen with a scar on her right cheek.

89
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:08,000
This scar had a tragic significance.

90
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:17,000
The thought is, back in those days, they would sometimes brand women if they had syphilis, so that everyone would know.

91
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:29,000
So we're assuming Lydia may have taken her own life because she didn't have any other way to make a living, no way out, and she was sick.

92
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:36,000
This is what this poor woman had to do to survive, and then in the end, didn't.

93
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:47,000
But soon, Corey would finally witness Lydia for herself.

94
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:56,000
Late one Halloween evening, she was taking guests on a tour of the brothel museum.

95
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:05,000
We were doing a night ghost tour up here, which we rarely do. It was a special event.

96
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:13,000
Suddenly, Corey sensed a presence in one of the rooms.

97
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:32,000
There was a figure who walked from one room across the hallway to the other room. It was Lydia.

98
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:42,000
But Corey was then drawn to something even more sinister, lurking in the shadows.

99
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:48,000
You could definitely feel this heavy presence.

100
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:58,000
There was a dark, shadowy figure. It really freaked me out.

101
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:05,000
I got the feeling that it was time to leave, and we left pretty quickly after that.

102
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:19,000
No one knew the identity of this dark spirit until a young bartender came to work at the Red Onion.

103
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:28,000
One day, he saw a terrifying scene played out in front of his eyes from the brothel's violent gold rush days.

104
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:35,000
The bartender said he witnessed a stocky, surly male apparition.

105
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:43,000
He saw him being a brute, being ruthless and brutal with these women, being violent and aggressive.

106
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:48,000
And the bartender was shocked by what he saw next.

107
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:52,000
So this kid is telling me what he's seeing.

108
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:04,000
He had been stabbed with a knife by a woman.

109
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:12,000
The identity of the murderer was unknown, but the bartender believed this brute was a bouncer at the brothel.

110
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:16,000
And it's his steps that are often heard haunting the hallway.

111
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:26,000
His job was to keep the clients to time and kick them out after their 15 minutes of pleasure.

112
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:33,000
The young employee never recovered from what he had witnessed.

113
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:41,000
He was basically tormented and had horrific dreams.

114
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:46,000
Nightmares felt like the presence here followed him home.

115
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:49,000
He ended up as a result leaving.

116
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:53,000
He doesn't want to have anything to do with Skagway or the Red Onion again.

117
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:56,000
I can't blame him. It was pretty terrifying.

118
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:03,000
It seems the forces of the Alaska Triangle are set on driving out the living.

119
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:10,000
And with Skagway's violent past, spirits of the dead seem to stalk this town.

120
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:20,000
That's why paranormal investigator Mike Cook has made a special 800 mile journey here from Anchorage.

121
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:28,000
I've always wanted to come to Skagway. It is one of the most haunted cities in Alaska.

122
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:32,000
This is the place for paranormal.

123
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:39,000
And the fact that I now have the chance to be in Skagway really is a dream come true.

124
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:45,000
Tonight, Mike's planning an investigation at the Red Onion Saloon.

125
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:52,000
He wants to find out more about the evil entity of the bouncer named John

126
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:57,000
and about the ghost of working girl Lydia.

127
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:02,000
He wants to know why their spirits seem to remain so restless.

128
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:09,000
I would really love to meet Lydia tonight to answer a lot of questions that I have.

129
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:11,000
Why did she hang herself?

130
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:17,000
I'd like to meet John and see why he's doing what he's doing.

131
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:22,000
It's up to the spirits. If they want me to know the true story, they're going to tell it.

132
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:26,000
So this is our main room.

133
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:34,000
Mike meets the brothel museum curator Corey and is given a tour so he knows what to look out for during his investigation.

134
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:40,000
And this is where Lydia is often seen.

135
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:42,000
In this corner.

136
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:45,000
In this corner. This is where she has been seen hanging.

137
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:52,000
Then as darkness falls, Mike begins setting up.

138
00:15:56,000 --> 00:16:05,000
Night vision cameras are placed all over the saloon and brothel upstairs including Lydia's room and the hallway that's stalked by the bouncer John.

139
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:13,000
We'll have one set up for Lydia, one set up in the hallway.

140
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:18,000
I definitely want to get Lydia's area where she's shown up before.

141
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:21,000
Maybe she'll up here on camera for us.

142
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:26,000
Mike also has a ghost hunting scanner called the REM pod.

143
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:29,000
The REM pod, it's got an electromagnetic field around it.

144
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:35,000
So anything that has some kind of electricity to it, ghost spirits, anything that comes near this will set it off.

145
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:37,000
It's also got a temperature sensor in the top.

146
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:42,000
So if the temperature up here changes plus or minus five degrees, we'll hear another audible tone.

147
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:49,000
So we're going to go set this up down the hall because that's the most active part of this whole place.

148
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:55,000
Finally, Mike sets his infrared camera to detect for apparitions.

149
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:59,000
The dots on the wall represent its laser beams.

150
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:12,000
Mike's overnight investigation begins in the most haunted place in town.

151
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:17,000
I'm excited. Let's go.

152
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:28,000
Mike settles down to monitor his cameras.

153
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:35,000
Oh, what you'll see here right there came out of the wall and then shot that way.

154
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:40,000
A strange orb descends from the haunted brothel upstairs.

155
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:48,000
Watch again. It came from upstairs there, wham, and goes all the way down and shoots.

156
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:52,000
Then it seems a strange force is at work in Lydia's room.

157
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:57,000
This camera's wigging out. It's a brand new camera.

158
00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:00,000
This is where she hung herself.

159
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:02,000
Her camera's off now.

160
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:04,000
Wait, it came right back on.

161
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:06,000
I'm going to go back to the room.

162
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:09,000
I'm going to go back to the room.

163
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:11,000
I'm going to go back to the room.

164
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:14,000
I'm going to go back to the room.

165
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:16,000
Her camera's off now.

166
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:18,000
Wait, it came right back on.

167
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:20,000
Holy cow.

168
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:26,000
Perhaps the spirits of Skagway are trying to sabotage Mike's investigation.

169
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:33,000
Their plan may be to steer him off course from digging any deeper.

170
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:43,000
It's the dead of night in Skagway, one of the most haunted places in the Alaska Triangle.

171
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:48,000
In former Gold Rush brothel, the Red Onion Saloon,

172
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:54,000
paranormal investigator Mike Cook is trying to communicate with the spirits who passed here.

173
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:58,000
An aggressive bouncer, John.

174
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:01,000
And a former prostitute, Lydia.

175
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:07,000
But perhaps these entities are hampering his investigation.

176
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:13,000
Look at that. The camera actually shut off.

177
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:16,000
This is a brand new system.

178
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:21,000
The interference appears to come from Lydia's room, where she hung herself.

179
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:26,000
Wow, look at this.

180
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:29,000
Right there.

181
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:32,000
Mike spots some kind of orb.

182
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:36,000
It literally comes from where the light is and just shoots straight at the camera.

183
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:41,000
I seriously feel like there's somebody here, but I just don't know who.

184
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:47,000
So Mike goes up to Lydia's room to investigate.

185
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:52,000
Oh, it's strong right now. It is strong.

186
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:56,000
Who's up here? Did Lydia's at you?

187
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:01,000
Whoever's up here, I can feel you.

188
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:12,000
Using his spirit box, Mike listens for messages while it scans the local radio frequencies.

189
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:15,000
Lydia, can you come say hello up please?

190
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:24,000
Yeah, that was a female.

191
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:27,000
Lydia, is that you?

192
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:37,000
That is going nuts.

193
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:44,000
Something's entered the electromagnetic field surrounding Mike's REM pod device.

194
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:50,000
Lydia, is that you? Can you make it go off again?

195
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:57,000
That was, see? It responded. As soon as I said do it again.

196
00:20:57,000 --> 00:21:02,000
When people see her or feel her, they get a cold breeze.

197
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:04,000
And that's the...

198
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:09,000
That tone right there means there's a 5 degree temperature change in the room.

199
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:16,000
That's the area where they've said they've seen her apparition of her hanging.

200
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:19,000
Lydia's in the room.

201
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:25,000
That's the area where they've said they've seen her apparition of her hanging.

202
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:28,000
Lydia, did you hang yourself?

203
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:31,000
There's something in this room.

204
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:40,000
Minutes later, a sound in the hallway.

205
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:46,000
Ooh, I heard something.

206
00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:52,000
It was like a... Oh, it was like a breath. Like someone breathing.

207
00:21:56,000 --> 00:22:02,000
And this is the same hallway that the ghost of the murdered bouncer, John, is said to stalk.

208
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:05,000
John, is that you down at the end of the hallway?

209
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:06,000
Yo!

210
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:18,000
It literally sounds like somebody's walking down there.

211
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:21,000
Like just back and forth, back and forth.

212
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:27,000
If this is John, Mike senses him moving downstairs to the bar.

213
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:34,000
This is where the bouncer kicked the clients out after their 15 minutes spent in the brothel.

214
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:37,000
Who's here with us in the saloon?

215
00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:39,000
What's your name?

216
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:43,000
Mike uses his spirit box to reach out to him.

217
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:48,000
Ooh, my God!

218
00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:54,000
On replay.

219
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:55,000
What's your name?

220
00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:58,000
It sounds like the name John.

221
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:04,000
Ooh, my God!

222
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:07,000
That was just...

223
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:11,000
Who am I talking to?

224
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:17,000
But there's no more word from the evil entity John.

225
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:24,000
So Mike considers a change of tack to try and communicate with the spirits.

226
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:33,000
I want to turn the lights on because what I really want to do is get the atmosphere the same as it was

227
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:39,000
when people have seen these apparitions or felt them or heard them.

228
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:47,000
Mike moves the electromagnetic sensing REM pod into the hallway where he heard footsteps.

229
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:50,000
Perhaps from bouncer John.

230
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:54,000
Mike waits for a response.

231
00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:00,000
This thing is going nuts.

232
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:06,000
It just stopped.

233
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:08,000
It just stopped.

234
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:10,000
Everything was going off.

235
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:14,000
That is the most that we've seen tonight and this is the hallway too.

236
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:16,000
Holy cow.

237
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:20,000
No more from the REM pod device.

238
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:23,000
But in Lydia's room...

239
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:27,000
Oh, oh, it's going off man.

240
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:28,000
Something's over here.

241
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:34,000
It seems some kind of apparition has appeared on Mike's infrared light sensor camera.

242
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:44,000
The way it works is it actually emits an infrared laser grid and so anything that comes into that laser grid field

243
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:48,000
and manipulates the dots it'll actually outline the apparition with that.

244
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:54,000
Any human shape that's detected is shown on screen as a stick-like figure.

245
00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:58,000
This strange form could be Lydia herself.

246
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:02,000
Wow.

247
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:04,000
Lydia is that you?

248
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:06,000
I think that that's a mirror.

249
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:11,000
What you're seeing there's a mirror and then a lampshade.

250
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:13,000
It's crazy though.

251
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:15,000
It's tracking whatever's right there.

252
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:21,000
Oh my God.

253
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:26,000
So it's looking right here at this case and this lamp and this mirror.

254
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:28,000
Now it's gone.

255
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:30,000
Wait, there it is.

256
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:32,000
There it is again.

257
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:33,000
Oh my God.

258
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:37,000
Then the apparition seems to disappear.

259
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:41,000
I'm not getting anything right here anymore.

260
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:47,000
Oh, what is it picking up now?

261
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:50,000
That is over.

262
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:53,000
That's over by Lydia's corner.

263
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:55,000
That's pointing at Lydia's corner.

264
00:25:57,000 --> 00:26:01,000
And this is the corner of the room where Lydia is said to have hung herself.

265
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:08,000
Then it seems the spirit vanishes.

266
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:11,000
No more signs from the ghosts here.

267
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:16,000
But for Mike, it's been a successful evening at the Red Onion Saloon.

268
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:27,000
It seems the entities of evil bouncer John and working girl Lydia are both trying to send him some kind of message.

269
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:31,000
I don't know what exactly is going on.

270
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:35,000
But I do know that they were trying to communicate, so that was pretty interesting.

271
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:38,000
This place is phenomenal.

272
00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:41,000
This place definitely has spirits.

273
00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:48,000
Mike calls it a night, knowing that he has plenty of evidence to sift through back at base.

274
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:53,000
Now he's pouring down the glass.

275
00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:56,000
And he's trying to get the spirit back.

276
00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:58,000
Back at base.

277
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:02,000
Now he's pouring through the footage.

278
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:06,000
He's found something rather mysterious.

279
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:14,000
I had actually set this camera down on the floor midway down the hallway.

280
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:21,000
I then went off and did something else in a totally different part of the saloon.

281
00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:27,000
And the noise that is caught on the mic of this camera is pretty interesting.

282
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:33,000
There was a loud bang.

283
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:35,000
And that got my attention.

284
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:39,000
What was that?

285
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:42,000
I said what is that?

286
00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:46,000
The finger points to the brothel's evil bouncer.

287
00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:51,000
The bouncer is obviously trying to get my attention.

288
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:53,000
And then this happens.

289
00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:59,000
I found an electronic voice phenomena that said this.

290
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:10,000
She made grave mistakes.

291
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:18,000
An electronic voice phenomenon, or EVP, is a recording captured of a spirit's speech.

292
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:25,000
Man, that is so clear.

293
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:30,000
You could clearly hear the gentleman say, she made a great mistake.

294
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:33,000
That's what makes this clip so amazing.

295
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:39,000
Mike is in no doubt that this was a message from the ghost of the bouncer.

296
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:45,000
All of the evidence that he is up there is right here, and I got it all.

297
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:52,000
This stunning message could relate to one of the working women.

298
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:57,000
Perhaps the victim of the violent bouncer murdered him.

299
00:28:57,000 --> 00:29:02,000
They got into an argument and she stabbed him and he died.

300
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:09,000
So he could be referring to, she made a great mistake, of stabbing him.

301
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:14,000
But Mike has another theory.

302
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:21,000
The victim who sought revenge could be the woman who was mercilessly branded on her face.

303
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:25,000
Lydia.

304
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:29,000
She couldn't make money as a working girl.

305
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:32,000
The bouncer was throwing her out.

306
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:35,000
She probably got mad, turned around, stabbed him.

307
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:41,000
And when she realized that she had made the biggest mistake of her life of killing somebody,

308
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:44,000
that's when she probably hung herself.

309
00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:52,000
This could be the entity of the bouncer letting us know that Lydia made a grave mistake.

310
00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:55,000
Everything would add up.

311
00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:01,000
But this case is not closed for Mike.

312
00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:04,000
There's definitely spirits there.

313
00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:12,000
There's just more to that story and I feel they want to tell it, which is why this investigation is not over.

314
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:21,000
And it seems the red onion saloon will always rightly stake a claim as the most haunted place in Alaska.

315
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:28,000
But the evil in the triangle is perhaps not only evident in the paranormal.

316
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:33,000
It also manifests itself in creatures that come out in the night.

317
00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:38,000
And even the smallest of them are deadly.

318
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:43,000
The Alaska Triangle.

319
00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:48,000
A place where paranormal entities are said to stalk the forests.

320
00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:58,000
Legend tells of a tiny but deadly evil known as the Little People.

321
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:07,000
You have to be careful because they could steal your children. They could vanish into thin air.

322
00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:14,000
Perhaps these sinister creatures play a part in Alaska's thousands of strange disappearances.

323
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:21,000
Here we have a newspaper report that shows evidence for the abduction of humans by Little People.

324
00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:26,000
There is definitely something going on in the Alaska Triangle.

325
00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:40,000
Alaska. Thousands of square miles of unexplored terrain and forest.

326
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:51,000
But deep underground there's supposedly an even murkier, hidden, subterranean world.

327
00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:56,000
It's believed this is where the Little People live.

328
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:05,000
Cryptozoologist Lance Hightower has been investigating this sinister phenomenon.

329
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:12,000
All around the world we have legends that exist of gnomes, leprechauns and the like.

330
00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:17,000
In the Alaska Triangle you have what's called the Little People.

331
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:24,000
A lot of the locals say that they are small in stature but also have superhuman strength.

332
00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:28,000
Such as being able to pick up a boulder or a caribou.

333
00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:33,000
Author and researcher Hugh Newman has also been looking into the legends.

334
00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:38,000
There's been lots of stories about who these people really are.

335
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:41,000
Whether they're actual, alive, kind of small human beings.

336
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:49,000
Or whether they're other worldly beings who just emerge at certain times when the veil is thin between this world and the next world.

337
00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:56,000
These Little People live underground and so you rarely see them.

338
00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:02,000
But these terrifying creatures may not be mere legend.

339
00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:08,000
Incredibly there's believed to be physical evidence that the Little People do exist.

340
00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:19,000
Mysterious, tiny, tool like objects close to an inch in length have been dug up by archaeologists all over North Alaska.

341
00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:26,000
In 2011 some were found near Lake Maturak in the gates of the Arctic National Park.

342
00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:38,000
They found spearheads, knives, different blades and other such things which are so small that not only would normal sized human beings find them difficult to make.

343
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:47,000
Using them would be a whole other story and so is this small, tooled tradition actually evidence of Little People living in the Alaska area?

344
00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:52,000
This could be proof that this tiny race of people existed.

345
00:33:57,000 --> 00:34:06,000
But for native Alaskans like Kidu Viduak Lichard, the proof comes from the many stories of the Little People that strike terror among the communities.

346
00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:15,000
Otherwise known as the Ursonrat, these creatures have a fearsome reputation for stealing children.

347
00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:23,000
They're often seen by people in the villages. A lot of the population has had encounters with them.

348
00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:32,000
One native woman reported that her daughter was targeted by Little People in the south of the triangle.

349
00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:43,000
In a place called Palmer in Alaska in 2005, a little person was witnessed running through the landscape.

350
00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:50,000
The young girl was thought to be in the same area, alone and vulnerable.

351
00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:56,000
She was way out in the country and a little person came up to her.

352
00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:14,000
Her mother reported her missing.

353
00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:19,000
She completely disappeared and was never seen again.

354
00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:30,000
And so the relationship between these Little People and disappearances in the Alaska triangle has become quite a big story and they suggest there may be a connection between them.

355
00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:35,000
Where the girl was taken, it seems no one knows.

356
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:44,000
But one place on the southwest edge of the Alaska triangle, Pilcher Mountain, has long been linked to the Little People.

357
00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:54,000
Folklore says this is where they have their base, deep underground and small tools have reportedly been found here.

358
00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:03,000
Cryptozoologist Cliff Berwickman believes there may be more to the myth than legend.

359
00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:12,000
The local people believe that Pilcher Mountain is the place where the Little People reside and that's where they come from.

360
00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:16,000
Take people, take captives and bring them back to there.

361
00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:26,000
And Cliff has found what seems like evidence of one such kidnapping near Pilcher Mountain in a local newspaper article dated May 2008.

362
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:35,000
Here we have a newspaper report from 2008 that shows evidence for the abduction of humans by Little People.

363
00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:45,000
A very unusual story where a hunter was out in a remote area, three hours walk outside a town and he stumbles across a little boy.

364
00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:54,000
To add further weight to the story, Kidu Viduak knows the hunter himself and he told him what happened next.

365
00:36:57,000 --> 00:37:05,000
He found a child in the middle of nowhere. The child was very confused and disoriented.

366
00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:14,000
He was wondering what the heck this kid was doing in the middle of nowhere. There's a lot of grizzlies around.

367
00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:21,000
While the hunter gave him shelter, the boy had an incredible story to tell.

368
00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:30,000
This little boy who said he had been abducted by Little People and just been returned minutes before the hunter found him.

369
00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:36,000
All around the area he saw no footprints in this marshy land.

370
00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:43,000
It's almost like he had been just dropped off there from this strange place that he had just been.

371
00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:51,000
The kid starts telling a story and he says that the Little People took him underground.

372
00:37:54,000 --> 00:38:00,000
He said he was taken to their subterranean base, deep into the earth, below Pilcher Mountain.

373
00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:12,000
They grabbed him and they pulled him through the rocks and he was all of a sudden in this tunnel.

374
00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:20,000
He was brought into this huge massive room filled with thousands of them.

375
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:38,000
While he was there he met a little girl.

376
00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:42,000
What this girl wanted, the boy did not know.

377
00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:48,000
But soon it seems he'd find out what these demons had done to her.

378
00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:52,000
The truth would be terrifying.

379
00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:59,000
Cryptozoologist Cliff Berwickman has found a newspaper report about the incident.

380
00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:07,000
During the boy's absence he claims to have met a little girl who had been abducted who begged him to help her.

381
00:39:09,000 --> 00:39:16,000
The boy discovered a cruel truth. They'd been taken into another dimension where time stood still.

382
00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:22,000
They had kept this girl there for 40 years yet she had not aged.

383
00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:28,000
There have been people coming in contact with these Little People and there's time displacement.

384
00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:31,000
There's missing time that no one can account for.

385
00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:40,000
Tragically the little girl is said to have asked the boy to pass on a message to her family.

386
00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:46,000
The little girl wanted him to talk to her family to tell him that she's okay.

387
00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:52,000
But as 40 years had passed her family were long dead and gone.

388
00:39:55,000 --> 00:40:02,000
It seems however the little demons decided to release the boy and spare his life.

389
00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:13,000
When he was found and returned to his village the story spread fear across Alaska.

390
00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:26,000
It generated a huge buzz all around Alaska because for generations stories of these Little People have been out there and these little people abducted children.

391
00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:32,000
You would go what these stories have been hearing for decades are true are my children safe.

392
00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:39,000
And here we are with this newspaper report for everybody to see with multiple named witnesses.

393
00:40:39,000 --> 00:40:43,000
Well that's some pretty compelling evidence that something is going on.

394
00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:56,000
So if this is evidence that these little demons do exist then perhaps this is proof that they have played some role in the strange disappearances that have plagued the Alaska Triangle.

395
00:40:58,000 --> 00:41:07,000
If it is true that little people are abducting humans for whatever purpose I don't think we're going to have any shortage of missing people in the future.

396
00:41:08,000 --> 00:41:17,000
The missing boy may have been saved but others seem to have not been so lucky when they've crossed paths with these sinister creatures.

397
00:41:19,000 --> 00:41:23,000
The numbers of missing people here seem on a relentless rise.

398
00:41:24,000 --> 00:41:29,000
It could only happen in this place Alaska.
