F*** this! 394 00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:47,720 There's a few things going on, but listen for what sounds like a kind of a low voice. 395 00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:48,720 Let's play it. 396 00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:50,720 Right there. 397 00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:53,720 That sounds like someone's saying leave. 398 00:19:56,720 --> 00:19:58,720 Oh my god, I heard it that time. 399 00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:00,720 That was really weird. 400 00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:04,720 If a ghost tells you to leave, you don't mess around. You get out of there. 401 00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:09,720 Josh, this is during your EVP session. 402 00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:10,720 Okay. 403 00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:13,720 If you want us to leave this place, please tell us. 404 00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:17,720 Right there. 405 00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:18,720 Right there. 406 00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:20,720 I definitely heard something right there. 407 00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:21,720 Can you isolate that? 408 00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:22,720 Sure. 409 00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:23,720 Amplify it? 410 00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:27,720 Like, I think it's a similar voice as the other EVP. 411 00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:28,720 Right. 412 00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:30,720 And I think it's also saying leave. 413 00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:37,720 It's funny though that there are two different recordings that distinctly sound like they say leave. 414 00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:38,720 Sure. 415 00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:41,720 It sounds like a voice. It really does. 416 00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:46,720 That's actually pretty compelling stuff, you know, because it does, Gile. 417 00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:49,720 It sticks out like a sore thumb in the recording. 418 00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:56,720 For analysis of our strange video footage and to put this whole investigation to rest, we turned to some bona fide experts. 419 00:20:56,720 --> 00:21:00,720 Oh, like I could feel it. It's like killing me. 420 00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:01,720 I don't know what to make of it, you know. 421 00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:02,720 Hey guys, how are you? 422 00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:03,720 Good to see you, man. 423 00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:05,720 Good to see you as well. How you been? 424 00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:06,720 How are you? 425 00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:08,720 I'm Gile Gonsolves and Dave Tango from Ghost Hunters. 426 00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:11,720 I sat down with them for their expert opinions. 427 00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:13,720 Came across some really interesting things. 428 00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:16,720 One thing is the doll's eye here. 429 00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:19,720 Oh my God. 430 00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:20,720 That is creepy. 431 00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:22,720 So what do you make of that? 432 00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:24,720 You know, energy can attach to an item. 433 00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:32,720 You know, if someone had a strong emotional bond to this object when they were alive, perhaps that bond is going to continue to stay there. 434 00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:36,720 So you definitely have the possibility that something is attached here. 435 00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:38,720 Now this here. 436 00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:42,720 Mike, don't move. Take a half a step to your left. 437 00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:49,720 There's an anomaly behind him. The trees could absorb that heat from the day or whatever. 438 00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:53,720 But I don't think it would just concentrate on one little section of the trunk. 439 00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:56,720 That heat has to be coming from somewhere. 440 00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:03,720 Now this here. 441 00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:06,720 Mike, don't move. Take a half a step to your left. 442 00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:10,720 So what do you make of that? 443 00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:16,720 I would think there's something there. There's something with energy there for some reason. 444 00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:23,720 As far as linking it to something paranormal, I would be a little more convinced if it was free-floating, you know, from the tree. 445 00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:26,720 Now this next thermal footage here. 446 00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:31,720 Looks like you're close enough that if there were animals or people, you would hear the rustling and all that stuff. 447 00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:35,720 The easiest shape for energy to take is a circle. 448 00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:41,720 I mean, if you're going to capture energy on a thermal camera, that's very well what it may look like. 449 00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:44,720 Well, let's talk about the audio evidence. 450 00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:47,720 This is the point when Mike is in the cabin. 451 00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:51,720 Ah! 452 00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:52,720 F*** this! 453 00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:59,720 After he runs out, it almost sounds like a door or like somebody trying to get in. 454 00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:06,720 You hear that? 455 00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:07,720 I do hear that. Wow. 456 00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:12,720 Well, something has to be making those noises. 457 00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:13,720 Possibly paranormal? 458 00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:16,720 Yeah.

It's a labyrinth of huge extensive caves. 774 00:42:47,720 --> 00:42:49,720 This would be a perfect habitat for them. 775 00:42:49,720 --> 00:42:51,720 You're doing something huge in this cave? 776 00:42:51,720 --> 00:42:55,720 So when you go through this cave, you see a lot of things that are very large. 777 00:42:55,720 --> 00:42:57,720 This would be a perfect habitat for them. 778 00:42:57,720 --> 00:42:59,720 You're doing something huge in this cave? 779 00:42:59,720 --> 00:43:05,720 So when you go through this kind of checklist of can those creatures exist or not, maybe. 780 00:43:05,720 --> 00:43:06,720 Wait, I saw something right here. 781 00:43:06,720 --> 00:43:08,720 What is that thing? 782 00:43:08,720 --> 00:43:11,720 It's very hard to prove something doesn't exist. 783 00:43:11,720 --> 00:43:14,720 In the end, Dr. Cooper couldn't positively ID what we saw. 784 00:43:14,720 --> 00:43:19,720 And so my opinion on the Luska's existence is as murky as the waters of Andro's blue holes. 785 00:43:19,720 --> 00:43:23,720 Here, in prehistoric tunnels that no human has ever fully catalogued, 786 00:43:23,720 --> 00:43:25,720 there is little doubt that something is alive. 787 00:43:25,720 --> 00:43:31,720 As to its identity, for now it remains shrouded in the depths and darkness beneath the waves of the Caribbean, 788 00:43:31,720 --> 00:43:34,720 hiding from the bright light of the truth.
