00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:08,000
On this episode of Destination Truth, my team travels to Romania to investigate reports of a real-life vampire monster.

2
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:16,000
After a harrowing trek through the backwoods of Transylvania, we discover that this beast might be more than just a legend.

3
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:19,000
Everywhere you look, there's just death down here.

4
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:29,000
Next, we set in a course for the icy coast of Sweden, where a lonely island is reported to be haunted by the ghosts of witches.

5
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:31,000
Were many witches killed in Sweden?

6
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:32,000
300.

7
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:34,000
And the bodies were burned.

8
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:40,000
In the rugged Scandinavian backcountry, our paranormal investigation takes a terrifying turn.

9
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:41,000
Hold it!

10
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:44,000
Hold on!

11
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:46,000
I'm Josh Gates.

12
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:51,000
In my travels, I've seen some unexplainable things, and I've done some things I can't quite explain.

13
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:58,000
Now, I've pulled together a team armed with the latest technology in the search for answers to the world's strangest mysteries.

14
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:02,000
I'm not sure what's out there waiting for me, but I know what I'm looking for.

15
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:04,000
The truth.

16
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:12,000
When it comes to creature popularity contests, there's no question that the homecoming king of monsters is the vampire.

17
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:18,000
From twilight to true blood to the Olsen twins, these pale insomniacs are kings of pop culture.

18
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:22,000
And no place on earth is as closely linked with these demonic creatures as Transylvania.

19
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:25,000
But could there be a real-world monster behind the legends?

20
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:32,000
According to eyewitness accounts, Transylvanians true vampires come in the form of a terrifying animal.

21
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:39,000
The creatures are said to live in the isolated wilderness in southern Romania, pouncing through the woods on powerful legs,

22
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:42,000
with speed that allows them to exist virtually undetected.

23
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:46,000
They have frightening claws and a large muscular body.

24
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:52,000
The unidentified animals can easily rip through flesh, giving them easy access to the blood they crave.

25
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:57,000
With a recent string of livestock maulings attributed to these Transylvanian chupacabras,

26
00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:03,000
we packed up our equipment and a few cloves of garlic and headed to the vampire capital of the world.

27
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:09,000
From Los Angeles, our transatlantic journey took us 6,600 miles to the Romanian capital of Bucharest.

28
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:15,000
We gathered our gear and made our way across town to the central train station, excited to get our journey underway.

29
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:21,000
In order to track down the real-world vampire, we'd have to travel to the source of the vampire legend.

30
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:28,000
From Bucharest, it was a 180-mile train ride north to Sigashuara, the birthplace of Vlad the Impaler, the inspiration for Count Dracula.

31
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:35,000
I was just having this terrible dream of you're on this awful, awful long train ride.

32
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:37,000
It's happening, Ryder.

33
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:44,000
The reward for the grueling 6-hour train ride was our arrival in this charming, historic 12th century city.

34
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:48,000
This is it. Dracula's hometown.

35
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:51,000
Always great to see our young torturers grow up.

36
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:56,000
We finally tracked down Vlad's actual boyhood home and headed inside for a closer look.

37
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,000
This is pretty amazing. This is actually Vlad's yearbook.

38
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:05,000
It says here he was voted most likely to impale.

39
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:09,000
In Vlad's basement, we discovered an array of primitive torture devices.

40
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:13,000
Check this little torture device out.

41
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:15,000
Nice rack.

42
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:17,000
Sure is.

43
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:19,000
This thing ain't bad either.

44
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:28,000
Having seen Dracula's home, I met with a prominent local historian who helped separate fact from legend.

45
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:32,000
So tell me a little bit about Vlad. He has a bad reputation.

46
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:37,000
He became famous as Vlad the Impaler because he used to punish people just to stop them doing bad things.

47
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:44,000
The punishment goes into the victim body, through the rectum, around the spine, comes out to your neck or to your mouth.

48
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:52,000
Despite Vlad's well-earned reputation as a murderer, it was Bram Stoker's novel that turned him into the vampiric Dracula we know today.

49
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:56,000
But I wanted to know if people were serious about seeing actual bloodsuckers in Transylvania.

50
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:59,000
Do people today still claim to see vampires?

51
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:02,000
They are hundreds, thousands of them. They actually search for them.

52
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:06,000
And if I want to go talk to people that claim to see these creatures, where would I go?

53
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:09,000
You have to go deep in the country out from the city.

54
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:18,000
He directed us to the heart of the sightings and we got back on our train, headed deep into the Carpathian Mountains and 80 miles south.

55
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:28,000
The nearly thousand-year-old Saxon city of Brasov is brimming with medieval charm and is lorded over by the imposing 14th century fortress known as Dracula's Castle.

56
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:34,000
On the way to our interview, we spotted a touristy vampire haunted house.

57
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:39,000
For seasoned monster hunters like us, this was sure to be a walk in the park.

58
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:09,000
Monsters I can deal with, but I am terrified of out-of-work Romanian actors.

59
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:22,000
After a quick underwear change, we headed to the outskirts of town to meet with the most recent eyewitness who had just returned from the countryside and claimed to have seen the beast.

60
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:25,000
What do these creatures look like? How do they appear?

61
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:36,000
You really don't want to see this thing. It looks a little bit like a human, but it's an animal. It has legs like a horse.

62
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:38,000
If I want to find these things, where would you send me?

63
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:54,000
There is this forest in southern Romania. This is where it has been sited recently. There is an abandoned village also in there and if you can make it there, you'll find the creature.

64
00:05:56,000 --> 00:06:00,000
Back on the train, we rode the rail south, deep into the mountains of Transylvania.

65
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:05,000
We eventually arrived near the forests where the most recent eyewitness accounts have taken place.

66
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:09,000
We sought out a farmer who claimed to have encountered the unknown creature just days earlier.

67
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:11,000
What exactly did you see there?

68
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:15,000
Yes, there was food and outside there was a moon, and there was no one on the earth.

69
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:21,000
One night he saw this big, huge creature, but it was dark outside. He couldn't see what it was. It was big.

70
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:24,000
I've heard about this abandoned village. Can you tell me about the village?

71
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:26,000
It moved here.

72
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:34,000
There is this village that was built in 1600s that was completely abandoned. It's out there in the woods and people have seen and heard strange things in there.

73
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:40,000
Many locals believe this abandoned village situated near a river to be a shelter for the creature.

74
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:43,000
However, getting deep into the forest was no easy hike.

75
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:48,000
Alright, let's pick it up a little bit guys.

76
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:53,000
After several hours trudging through the back country, we reached a substantial impasse.

77
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:55,000
Whoa, stop, stop, stop!

78
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:03,000
Okay, let's break out the climbing gear. Let's be quick about this. Let's get it rigged up and go.

79
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:06,000
One by one, my team made the precarious descent down the slippery rock face.

80
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:14,000
Definitely went wild guys, hang on!

81
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:20,000
This is nuts!

82
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:27,000
One by one, my team made the precarious descent down the slippery rock face.

83
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:29,000
Whoa! You got it! You got it! Come here! Nice work!

84
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:34,000
After reaching the bottom of the waterfall, we continued our trip floating downstream.

85
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:39,000
But just a half mile later, we reached another obstacle.

86
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:45,000
Alright guys, we got another drop. Let's get the ropes and the harnesses.

87
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:47,000
Oh, the hell.

88
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:49,000
Okay guys, let's rest up on the bank. Make our way to base camp.

89
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:54,000
After a short hike, we reached a clearing near the abandoned village.

90
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:57,000
The exact area where the creature was thought to be hiding.

91
00:07:58,000 --> 00:07:59,000
We quickly prepared for the night.

92
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:02,000
We were able to get the rope and harnesses.

93
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:05,000
We were able to get the rope and harnesses.

94
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:08,000
We were able to get the rope and harnesses.

95
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:11,000
We were able to get the rope and harnesses.

96
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:13,000
Oh, the hell.

97
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:18,000
We were able to hide ahead.

98
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:20,000
Let's get set up before it gets too dark.

99
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:27,000
We strung infrared cameras throughout the area, as well as motion-activated trap cameras and a series of perimeter alarms.

100
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:30,000
Josh, base camp, perimeter alarm sensors are active and ready to go.

101
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:34,000
We're looking for vampires, kind of.

102
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:39,000
You know, most people think of vampires, they think of undead, you know, blood-sucking humans.

103
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:41,000
We're looking for something that's a little more rooted in reality.

104
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:43,000
Whatever this thing is, it's vampiric.

105
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:49,000
They say that it's drained other animals' blood, that it's dragged livestock off into the woods, and people believe that this is something real.

106
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:53,000
We'll break out into two different sweep teams, we'll search as much of the forest as we can.

107
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:56,000
Tristite, you'll be back here at base camp, manning all the surveillance equipment.

108
00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:58,000
Tell them to get it.

109
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:04,000
Where do you think this trail leads?

110
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:07,000
I don't know. Keep your ears open, though.

111
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:15,000
Keep an eye out for any tracks.

112
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:20,000
Oh, oh, stop, stop, please, stop, stop, stop, stop.

113
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:26,000
I got some of that thermal. Kyle, come here. Get the astroscope, come here.

114
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:29,000
I just got a hit on the thermal down there.

115
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:32,000
Something's back there.

116
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:39,000
Oh, there it is!

117
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:41,000
See it? You see it?

118
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:42,000
Oh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh.

119
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:44,000
Back up, back up, back up.

120
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:46,000
What do you guys see?

121
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:48,000
Very carefully.

122
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:54,000
Listen, listen, listen.

123
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:02,000
Oh my god, what is that?

124
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:09,000
Listen, listen, listen.

125
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:13,000
Oh my god, what is that?

126
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:16,000
What did you see?

127
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:20,000
Eyes coming right at us.

128
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:24,000
It seemed like there was like two sets of eyes just running left and right.

129
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:25,000
Like, almost like we're getting surrounded.

130
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:33,000
Just stop for Josh.

131
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:35,000
Go for Josh.

132
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:37,000
Go for Josh.

133
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:39,000
Go for Josh.

134
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:40,000
Go for Josh.

135
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:47,000
Hey Josh, um, on my IR camera number three, I just saw some bright flashes coming through the woods.

136
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:53,000
Uh, did you guys see anything over in that area?

137
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:55,000
Yeah, we're seeing stuff down here in the woods as well.

138
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:57,000
We think we got sight of a couple of animals.

139
00:10:58,000 --> 00:10:59,000
We're gonna head back up that way and check it out.

140
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:01,000
Copy that.

141
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:03,000
Let's go check out that camera. Come on.

142
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:11,000
We know that Romania is filled with wolves and bears.

143
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:15,000
So, we definitely have to be on our guard tonight.

144
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:20,000
Oh, look at this, look at this.

145
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:28,000
Looks like it's sort of an old gated entry that should lead us to the village beyond.

146
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:32,000
Can we open it?

147
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:34,000
No. It's a rusted shot.

148
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:37,000
Gonna have to use some brute force.

149
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:39,000
Go for it.

150
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:40,000
Alright, stand back.

151
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:43,000
Nicely done.

152
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:45,000
I've always wanted to do that.

153
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:50,000
Oh, look at this, look at this.

154
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:53,000
Oh, creepy.

155
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:55,000
Looks like one of the old buildings in here, guys.

156
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:57,000
I can't believe it's still here.

157
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:00,000
For being hundreds of years old, these things are in pretty good shape.

158
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:04,000
It's amazing that people just up and left.

159
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:09,000
I wonder what would be so scary that everyone just left.

160
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:12,000
That's what we're here to find out.

161
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:22,000
Everybody stay together, here we go.

162
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:28,000
Guys, look around. See if you can see anything.

163
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:31,000
He thought he saw something near this camera. Try to look around. Spread out.

164
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:35,000
Hey, Tristan, I'm in front of IR camera 3.

165
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:37,000
I don't see anything around here right now.

166
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:38,000
We're gonna search the whole perimeter.

167
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:39,000
We'll let you know if we can move from anything.

168
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:43,000
Okay, copy that. It would be directly behind you to your left.

169
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:45,000
Okay, we're gonna head in there now. Copy that.

170
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:51,000
Wow.

171
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:53,000
I wonder how old this place is.

172
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:55,000
God, I'm 300 years old.

173
00:12:58,000 --> 00:12:59,000
Smells like it.

174
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:00,000
Yeah, it does.

175
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:02,000
Did you hear that?

176
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:03,000
No.

177
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:04,000
What did you hear?

178
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:05,000
It sounded like something's right behind the building.

179
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:07,000
Oh, let's check it out.

180
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:15,000
You know, the ground's kind of soft. We might be able to see some prints.

181
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:18,000
Look at this. Look at this.

182
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:22,000
It looks like some sort of impression in the ground.

183
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:25,000
It might have been left by something big, but it's hard to tell.

184
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:27,000
Sort of indistinct.

185
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:29,000
That's about the size of your hand.

186
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:32,000
I wish you'd definitely photograph it.

187
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:35,000
Rider for Tristan?

188
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:37,000
Go ahead, rider.

189
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:40,000
We're hoping maybe you could bring the evidence kit out to us.

190
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:43,000
Copy that. Get your location from the GPS.

191
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:44,000
The ASO brings evidence kit.

192
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:56,000
Something in the thermal, the ground.

193
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:57,000
Oh, look at this.

194
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:00,000
Guys, look at this huge hole.

195
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:02,000
Careful, careful, it goes way down.

196
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:05,000
Predators sometimes use caves for shelter.

197
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:06,000
Maybe this thing does too.

198
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:08,000
Let's get down there.

199
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:12,000
Nice and slow.

200
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:19,000
Guys, I'm down.

201
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:21,000
Alright, let's do this. Come on, let's see where this tunnel goes.

202
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:29,000
Be careful, guys. I have no idea how stable any of this is.

203
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:32,000
Let's see if we can figure out what's down here.

204
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:34,000
Josh, you got a skeleton over here.

205
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:38,000
I got bones down here too.

206
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:40,000
I got bones down here.

207
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:42,000
I got bones down here.

208
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:44,000
I got bones down here.

209
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:46,000
I got bones down here.

210
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:48,000
I got bones down here.

211
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:51,000
This is like a graveyard.

212
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:55,000
Either a lot of animals are falling down that hole or something's dragging them down.

213
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:57,000
What do you got up there? We see.

214
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:09,000
Oh man, it's like a wolf or a dog or something.

215
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:16,000
No animal could make it up and down that.

216
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:17,000
Definitely. We just came down.

217
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:20,000
Right at the other entrance. Let's keep pushing on and see if we can find it.

218
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:29,000
We wanted to run you out because we're worried this weather's going to come in.

219
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:30,000
Wash all this away.

220
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:34,000
Yeah, the thunder and lightning is definitely moving in.

221
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:42,000
Look at this, look at this.

222
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:46,000
Hey Katie, it looks like there's another structure up ahead.

223
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:48,000
Oh yeah, it looks like a church.

224
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:50,000
Let's check this thing out.

225
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:53,000
Look at this.

226
00:15:55,000 --> 00:16:02,000
I mean this is something right out of like the Dracula movie, you know?

227
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:04,000
This is like Bram St-

228
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:13,000
Look at this.

229
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:22,000
This is something right out of like the Dracula movie, you know?

230
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:24,000
This is like Bram St-

231
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:28,000
What is this? What?

232
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:30,000
Something really big.

233
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:31,000
It just went past this way.

234
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:36,000
Whatever it was, it was moving really fast.

235
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:42,000
Oh, there it is again.

236
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:44,000
Right up ahead.

237
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:48,000
Sounds like something's moving through the brush.

238
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:51,000
Right in these high trees, huh?

239
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:53,000
Looks like it's all blocked off through here.

240
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:57,000
Starting to rain.

241
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:01,000
This is definitely a good time to get into that church, protect all of our gear.

242
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:25,000
Oh, look at this.

243
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:28,000
Creep city.

244
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:31,000
Their eyes are clawed out.

245
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:39,000
Jeez, where did that come from?

246
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:49,000
That looks like a wooden stake.

247
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:53,000
That's probably one of the creepiest things that's ever happened.

248
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:05,000
Everywhere you look, there's just death down here.

249
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:09,000
This whole place is just littered with bugs.

250
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:11,000
Look at this.

251
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:15,000
Dude, this tooth is the size of my finger.

252
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:18,000
The tooth is from something huge. I don't know what that is.

253
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:24,000
We'll bag some samples, take them back, maybe get some usable DNA and see if we can not get some answers on what these things are.

254
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:27,000
Sorry, let's keep moving. Come on.

255
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:39,000
It's dead end.

256
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:41,000
This is it.

257
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:44,000
This thing doesn't go on any further. Let's get back to the surface.

258
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:46,000
We're going to long climb back up. Come on.

259
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:59,000
We hoisted ourselves back to the surface, packed up our gear, and with the sun rising, began the soggy march back to Los Angeles where we would analyze our findings.

260
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:04,000
We poured over the footage from our overnight investigation and found intriguing evidence.

261
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:10,000
Our thermal imager did catch something lurking in the darkness, and our infrared cameras spotted something in the woods.

262
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:15,000
Based on shape, the images suggest that we may have seen a Romanian grey wolf.

263
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:22,000
Rider's print was too muddy to identify, and her animal encounter didn't yield a clear shot of whatever spooked her team.

264
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:28,000
We then headed to the Los Angeles Museum of Natural History to show our physical findings to mnemologist Dr. Jim Dines.

265
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:32,000
So what I see in these photographs are actually several different species.

266
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:36,000
The first set of photographs here are clearly the remains of a dog.

267
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:41,000
In addition to the canine skull, Jim identified the bones of a cow, as well as a large goat.

268
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:45,000
The tooth we found, however, proved particularly interesting.

269
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:51,000
Yeah, this is actually really cool. What we have here is the upper canine tooth from Cave Bear.

270
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:58,000
The Cave Bear, or Ursa spelius, has been extinct since the last Ice Age, 27,000 years ago.

271
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:04,000
The find is significant since teeth like these are rare and were once attributed to beasts such as dragons.

272
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:07,000
And, you guessed it, vampires.

273
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:11,000
Vampire myths may date back to prehistoric times.

274
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:15,000
Our modern fascination with bloodsuckers was sparked by Vlad the Impaler.

275
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:25,000
But beyond today's merchandise, pop culture and cheap scares, in the most inaccessible corners of Transylvania, locals claim that there is something real.

276
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:29,000
You really don't want to see this thing. It looks like a human, but it's an animal.

277
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:39,000
But with ancient monsters giving rise to legends and real-world predators on the prowl, I'm inclined to believe that this is one horror story that's best left on the pages of fiction.

278
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:47,000
Off the coast of Sweden, in the middle of the Baltic Sea, lies the lonely island of Bla Youngfron.

279
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:52,000
And while the outcropping may be beautiful, it also has a dark history of being haunted.

280
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:57,000
So, Ryder, this island's got a pretty nasty reputation. It was thought to be a gathering place for witches.

281
00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:01,000
All sorts of occult ceremonies and demonic rituals were supposedly carried out there.

282
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:06,000
Yeah, from our research, it looks like there are hundreds of documented supernatural encounters from the island.

283
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:11,000
Sounds pretty terrifying. Maybe you want to go this one alone? Solo case? Let us know what happens?

284
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:13,000
Really?

285
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:17,000
No? Okay, the whole group can go. Sorry, guys. So much for the vacation we were planning.

286
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:23,000
Everybody thank Ryder for this trip. It's going to be pretty great. Very, very selfish individual.

287
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:28,000
Reports about the ghosts of witches date back half a millennium.

288
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:37,000
And today, vessels passing by Bla Youngfron have reported seeing flashes of light, ghastly apparitions, and the sounds of tortured screams.

289
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:44,000
The island's dark power is so great that it is believed that anyone who removes even a single stone from its shores will be cursed.

290
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:55,000
Investigating a satanic island surrounded by freezing waters would be dangerous, but despite the risks, we packed up our gear and headed to Scandinavia to kick off our haunted island getaway.

291
00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:03,000
We flew across the nation and the Atlantic to Sweden's capital city of Stockholm.

292
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:11,000
We started our investigation with another automotive classic, thanks to Ryder.

293
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:13,000
Seriously?

294
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:14,000
It's alive.

295
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:16,000
My mom's Volvo from high school. What's what we're doing here?

296
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:18,000
Classic Swedish technology.

297
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:20,000
It's been a while.

298
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:22,000
Buckle up. It's about to get really Swedish.

299
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:40,000
My kids, this is Sweden. Sweden, of course, famous for many things. Swedish meatballs, Swedish fish, Swedish chef, Swedish massages, Swedish women.

300
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:42,000
Oh, my bad.

301
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:54,000
There's a famous folklorist here in Stockholm who knows the history of this island really well, so we're definitely going to stop there and chat with him.

302
00:22:56,000 --> 00:23:03,000
We dropped off the wagon in downtown Stockholm and set out on foot. However, navigating the public transportation in the city was no easy feat.

303
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:06,000
I'll pay anybody five bucks if they could say that word.

304
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:11,000
What are you talking about? We're all getting on the Jörggård Jögfärdgöntan. All aboard.

305
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:17,000
Crossing the bay, it was hard to deny Stockholm's scenic charms.

306
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:23,000
Oh, these Swedes have it all figured out. If only they could figure out a way to sell furniture cheaply that I assemble at home.

307
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:25,000
Wait a minute.

308
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:32,000
The ferry took us to the other side of the city where we would conduct our first interview.

309
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:40,000
As we navigated the streets of Stockholm, we were distracted by her siren song of cheap t-shirts and cheap psychics.

310
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:47,000
You're born into the sun in Leo, so it means that you really want to be the center of the attention.

311
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:49,000
I don't know what you're talking about.

312
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:52,000
You have a great self-confidence and you feel good about yourself.

313
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:55,000
I think you're going to have a better position in your career.

314
00:23:56,000 --> 00:24:01,000
Better than hosting Destination Truth? Not possible, ma'am. I'm at the pinnacle of my career right now.

315
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:03,000
No, I'm not.

316
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:10,000
Just blocks from the psychics office was the home of renowned Swedish folklorist and unintentional Gandalf impersonator, Ebbi Schoen.

317
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:13,000
I wanted to learn more about the island's reputation.

318
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:16,000
Tell me a little bit about what you know of this island.

319
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:24,000
It's a very mystical place. The island frightened people very, very much, especially the sailors when they passed the island.

320
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:35,000
They say that that was one of the places where the witches, sorcerers, medutions of all kinds met there and also met the devil.

321
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:38,000
Were many witches killed in Sweden?

322
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:44,000
Three hundred by the neck and afterwards the bodies were burned.

323
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:53,000
With details on the history of witchcraft in Sweden, we piled back in the family truckster and headed out of Stockholm and began a scenic 210 mile drive to Oskarsham.

324
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:57,000
The jumping off point for the island, which sits off the coast.

325
00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:04,000
After three hours on the road, we arrived on the outskirts of Oskarsham and planned the next step in the investigation.

326
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:08,000
Okay guys, before we head out to this island, I want to speak to a couple of modern day witches.

327
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:12,000
There's actually two of them that live in the interior. Unfortunately, there's no good road that gets out there.

328
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:18,000
And our most recent eye witness is actually a photographer and he's working out in this archipelago where there's also no good roads.

329
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:22,000
Richie, why don't you come with me? We'll take a set of ATVs and try to find these witches.

330
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:27,000
Ryder, why don't you lead a team with Tristan, Katie and Adam? You can try to get out around this archipelago in kayaks.

331
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:29,000
See if you can catch up to this guy.

332
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:31,000
Why do you get the ATVs?

333
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:33,000
Oh, I'm sorry, do you want to go find the creepy witches out in the middle of the woods?

334
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:35,000
Good point.

335
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:37,000
Okay, let's do it. Come on.

336
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:42,000
Hey guys, wind's coming in. Be careful.

337
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:50,000
While Ryder's group paddled through choppy, frigid waters, Richie and I began a challenging off-road ride in search of real life witches.

338
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:55,000
After nearly an hour on Backwood's trails, we discovered the witches in the middle of a ritual.

339
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:08,000
Richie and I located the modern-day witches, practicing a ritual in the forest.

340
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:11,000
They believed the island to be a place of intense energy.

341
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:16,000
What can you tell me about this island? It has a reputation, kind of a dark reputation.

342
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:18,000
It's magic. It's magic over there.

343
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:20,000
Do you think that it is a haunted place?

344
00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:25,000
Yes, absolutely, I think so. There are both good and bad spirits there.

345
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:32,000
There's a labyrinth on the island and it's been there for a very, very long time and it's very powerful.

346
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:37,000
And if you walk the whole labyrinth, that's the time when the witches are there.

347
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:44,000
The stone labyrinth on the island is hundreds of years old.

348
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:49,000
It may represent a trap for spirits or a depiction of the path from hell to ward heaven.

349
00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:54,000
Meanwhile, Ryder and her team tracked down eyewitness Peter Gerdihad.

350
00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:59,000
While photographing the island on assignment, he claimed to have had a supernatural encounter.

351
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:01,000
Can you tell me a little bit about what happened out there?

352
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:08,000
Yeah, I was out on an assignment and we spent three nights in the only house on the island.

353
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:15,000
And then I suddenly woke up and the room was bathing in light and it had no source.

354
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:17,000
What do you think the light was that you saw?

355
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:24,000
I don't know. I can't have a clue. I haven't had any experience of this kind in my whole life.

356
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:31,000
With the cabin and labyrinth identified as paranormal hotspots on the island,

357
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:37,000
the team reunited and we headed into Oskar Shem to meet a city official who had vital information about the island's power.

358
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:42,000
What can you tell me about this island?

359
00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:51,000
People say the island is haunted. If you take a stone from the island, you will have bad luck for the rest of your life.

360
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:55,000
Every year we have a shipping of stones going over to the island.

361
00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:57,000
How many people return these stones?

362
00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:00,000
Many. Two, three hundred people.

363
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:06,000
There are letters about people begging us to turn the stones back to the island.

364
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:13,000
There's one who tells us that I took this stone from the island and everything is a mess for me now.

365
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:15,000
So I want you to bring them back.

366
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:18,000
There's another one who got cancer.

367
00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:26,000
Last time when we were out leaving a lot of stones on Bløjungfrund, this one was left here and maybe for one purpose.

368
00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:28,000
I think this is your pass.

369
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:30,000
You want me to bring this stone back?

370
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:32,000
Yes, I want you to bring this stone back to the island.

371
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:34,000
Okay, I will return it to the island.

372
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:37,000
Thank you very much. I hope this does not bring me bad luck.

373
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:47,000
With our research complete and a cursed rock in my pocket, I was anxious to brave the icy waters of the Baltic Sea and reach the haunted island.

374
00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:52,000
Ryder, how are you feeling?

375
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:54,000
Why do you ask?

376
00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:56,000
Because you're always seasick.

377
00:28:57,000 --> 00:28:58,000
Even when I'm not boat.

378
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:00,000
All the time. Everywhere we go.

379
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:02,000
I'm okay right now. My don't matter.

380
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:03,000
I'm thinking about puppies and kittens.

381
00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:05,000
Clam-shouter. No.

382
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:07,000
Roller coasters. Absolutely not.

383
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:09,000
Tunicassarole. None of this is helping.

384
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:14,000
Guys, there she is.

385
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:18,000
Do we have a docker or a pier up there or anything?

386
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:21,000
No, there's no docks. We'll circle it and try to find a place to go ashore.

387
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:25,000
The island is an inhospitable place to spend the night.

388
00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:31,000
While it's less than one kilometer across, the granite outcropping rises nearly 250 feet out of the ocean.

389
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:35,000
The eastern side is exposed and noises are often heard here on the wind.

390
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:39,000
While a thick forest with mysterious shadows cloaks the western side.

391
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:48,000
The labyrinth is in the south and though the island is uninhabited, a lone cabin serves as shelter for the occasional scientist or paranormal investigator.

392
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:56,000
After finding a safe place to unload the boat, we climbed onto the island and prepared for the night ahead.

393
00:29:57,000 --> 00:30:02,000
With temperatures dropping and daylight running out, we set up our remote cameras and a shelter for the evening.

394
00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:04,000
Home sweet home.

395
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:09,000
This is a pretty unique environment for us to be investigating in.

396
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:13,000
We are 10 miles away from land in any direction. This is a small island.

397
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:15,000
We are completely alone out here.

398
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:18,000
People say that very strange things happen on this island.

399
00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:23,000
It has a very dark reputation. It's associated with witchcraft. People believe that it's haunted.

400
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:25,000
Some people even say this is the home of the devil himself.

401
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:29,000
We've got the whole island to ourselves. We're going to canvas as much of it as we can.

402
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:32,000
We'll split into two teams. We'll work our way around the exterior of the island.

403
00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:34,000
I'm going to head out with Katie and Adam and Kyle.

404
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:37,000
Ryder, you and Rich will head out with Dave.

405
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:40,000
You'll head to the west. We'll go to the east. We'll meet down in the southern part of the island.

406
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:42,000
And we'll see what we find along the way.

407
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:46,000
Everybody needs to be really careful. We saw huge cliffs from the ocean. Steep drop-offs.

408
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:50,000
So keep your wits about you tonight. Tristan will stay in touch with you via walkie-talkie.

409
00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:53,000
You'll be here at base camp. Let us know if you see anything on those cameras.

410
00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:55,000
Alright, let's do it again. Come on.

411
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:05,000
Looks like the trail goes back here into the woods.

412
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:11,000
You know, I was concerned this island was going to be really small, but you get out here and it's actually got a whole forest.

413
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:13,000
And here...

414
00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:23,000
Hear that?

415
00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:27,000
Shhh. Hear that?

416
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:30,000
I do. What is it?

417
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:34,000
There it is again. There it is again.

418
00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:40,000
I don't see anything. But I definitely heard it that time.

419
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:41,000
Shhh.

420
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:43,000
What did you hear?

421
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:45,000
Low voices chatter, all female.

422
00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:47,000
You heard a voice for sure?

423
00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:48,000
More than one voice.

424
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:51,000
For sure. And it was distinctly women, it wasn't men.

425
00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:54,000
Very soft. Straight that way.

426
00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:03,000
What did you hear?

427
00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:05,000
Low voices chatter, all female.

428
00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:06,000
You heard a voice for sure?

429
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:07,000
More than one voice.

430
00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:08,000
More than one voice.

431
00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:11,000
For sure. And it was distinctly women, it wasn't men.

432
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:13,000
Very soft. Straight that way.

433
00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:20,000
It was a real familiar sound. Like voices.

434
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:21,000
Where did you hear it exactly?

435
00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:24,000
I mean, it was right down by the water.

436
00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:27,000
Almost the way we were headed on the trail.

437
00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:28,000
Okay, I'll take it down there.

438
00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:29,000
Okay.

439
00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:39,000
Starting to get cool over here.

440
00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:46,000
Okay, let's have a closer look.

441
00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:49,000
Kyle, this bay must have been one of those noises we're coming from.

442
00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:51,000
Whoa, whoa, careful, careful, careful.

443
00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:53,000
What? Sheer drop right there.

444
00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:58,000
Oh, jeez. It's almost like it was a siren call.

445
00:32:58,000 --> 00:33:03,000
Yeah, we followed the voices that led us up to these really dangerous cliffs.

446
00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:07,000
Let's see if we can keep chasing these noises down.

447
00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:11,000
Really careful on these rocks, guys.

448
00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:14,000
Pretty quiet up here.

449
00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:15,000
Yeah, man.

450
00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:20,000
You know, for being a really small island, there's a heck of a lot of ground to cover.

451
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:21,000
It feels like it.

452
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:25,000
What is that?

453
00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:26,000
What is that?

454
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:34,000
It sounds like footsteps.

455
00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:35,000
Is there anyone here?

456
00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:37,000
Show yourself. You're here.

457
00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:40,000
Did you hear that?

458
00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:41,000
Yeah. Did you hear that?

459
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:43,000
It sounds like a woman screaming.

460
00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:54,000
We need to find another way to get around to the other side to see if, you know, there's something natural making that noise or...

461
00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:59,000
Something worse.

462
00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:13,000
Guys, I got something weird on the thermal pad.

463
00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:14,000
What do you see?

464
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:15,000
Oh, this is the labyrinth.

465
00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:17,000
Look at this.

466
00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:28,000
So this has been here for hundreds of years.

467
00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:33,000
Nobody knows who first put it here, but there's written accounts of it that are hundreds of years old.

468
00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:36,000
So this is the entrance right here.

469
00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:41,000
We head to the right, we follow the entire labyrinth, and we try to exit right out of here.

470
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:47,000
We've been told that if we walk the maze, the ghosts and witches will appear.

471
00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:58,000
How long is this thing?

472
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:02,000
It looks like the center of the maze.

473
00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:05,000
Got a missing stone that we were asked to bring here.

474
00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:08,000
What is that?

475
00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:14,000
Josh, I got something really weird on this camera. Come check this out.

476
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:15,000
What do you got?

477
00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:16,000
I don't know. There's some kind of weird light.

478
00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:17,000
Let's see.

479
00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:24,000
Right in between you and I, in the maze, there's a ball of light like an orb of some sort that we can't see.

480
00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:27,000
It went from here to here.

481
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:30,000
It whipped across.

482
00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:31,000
Insect?

483
00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:34,000
No, definitely not an insect. I've seen millions of insects on this thing.

484
00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:37,000
Alright, great. We'll mark it and we'll look at it when we get back to headquarters.

485
00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:38,000
Great.

486
00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:39,000
Spooky dude.

487
00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:44,000
Here's the cabin.

488
00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:51,000
This is where that eyewitness had his encounter and saw the bright light.

489
00:35:55,000 --> 00:36:09,000
Oh, this must be the back bedroom. This is where our eyewitness, Peter, had his experience.

490
00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:16,000
Maybe we should set up and do an EVP session in here and see if we can ask some questions, maybe conjure up whatever you saw.

491
00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:17,000
Sounds good.

492
00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:18,000
Okay.

493
00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:26,000
My name is Ryder.

494
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:28,000
My name is Richie.

495
00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:32,000
And we come in peace. We mean you no harm.

496
00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:35,000
Is there anybody here?

497
00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:45,000
This strange ringing in my ears has drive me crazy.

498
00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:51,000
It's, I mean, it's almost giving me a headache. It's... it's so strong.

499
00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:54,000
Do you hear that?

500
00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:55,000
Yes, I do hear that.

501
00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:05,000
Hello?

502
00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:07,000
Go look.

503
00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:08,000
Go look.

504
00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:09,000
You're closer.

505
00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:10,000
Go look.

506
00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:11,000
Go look.

507
00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:12,000
Go look.

508
00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:13,000
Go look.

509
00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:14,000
Go look.

510
00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:15,000
Go look.

511
00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:16,000
Go look.

512
00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:17,000
Go look.

513
00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:18,000
Go look.

514
00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:19,000
Go look.

515
00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:20,000
Go look.

516
00:37:21,000 --> 00:37:22,000
Pull it!

517
00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:30,000
Hello?

518
00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:34,000
Go look.

519
00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:35,000
You go look.

520
00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:36,000
You're closer.

521
00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:38,000
Pull it!

522
00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:39,000
I just saw something in the hallway.

523
00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:40,000
Where?

524
00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:41,000
I just saw something right in the hallway.

525
00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:42,000
Where? Where?

526
00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:43,000
There's a dark shape that just went in that room just now.

527
00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:44,000
Where?

528
00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:45,000
Right there.

529
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:47,000
Right there.

530
00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:52,000
Is there anyone here?

531
00:37:53,000 --> 00:37:55,000
What was that?

532
00:37:56,000 --> 00:37:58,000
It was right here.

533
00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:06,000
I saw something in this house, in this kitchen, right here.

534
00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:12,000
Alright, well, let's keep looking around,

535
00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:14,000
and then start making our way back out the front,

536
00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:17,000
and hopefully nothing else like that happens that are way out.

537
00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:19,000
Yeah, let's get out of this cabin.

538
00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:24,000
Both teams continue to sweep every inch of the island

539
00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:28,000
until eventually the sun rose up over the ocean in the eastern sky.

540
00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:31,000
At first light, we dismantled our base camp, packed out our gear,

541
00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:35,000
and steamed toward land, beginning a long voyage back to Los Angeles

542
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:37,000
where we'd review our findings.

543
00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:41,000
We heard a lot of strange things while we were on the island.

544
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:44,000
This is from when my team was investigating. Listen to this.

545
00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:49,000
I heard like women's voices, like a couple of them.

546
00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:52,000
What is that?

547
00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:54,000
Kyle describes it as a female voice.

548
00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:57,000
To go along with this, we heard something very similar on our suite.

549
00:38:57,000 --> 00:38:59,000
Is there anybody out there?

550
00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:03,000
Did you hear that? Yeah.

551
00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:06,000
And this goes along with a lot of the witness testimony

552
00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:09,000
that say that they hear women, or what they believe to be witches,

553
00:39:09,000 --> 00:39:11,000
you know, still on the island.

554
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:15,000
Absolutely, and your team actually heard more noises inside the old cabin.

555
00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:22,000
Did you hear that? Yes, I did.

556
00:39:22,000 --> 00:39:24,000
We had done a full exterior sweep at this place.

557
00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:26,000
It's not old, broken down, there's no shutters,

558
00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:28,000
flapping in the wind, and we weren't hearing that.

559
00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:31,000
What we heard was coming from inside the cabin.

560
00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:33,000
And right after this, you actually see something.

561
00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:39,000
Come on, you go look. You're closer.

562
00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:41,000
Oh my god! Come here.

563
00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:43,000
I just saw something in the hallway. Where?

564
00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:45,000
I just saw something right in the hallway. Where? Where?

565
00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:48,000
You look like a person. You know, I describe it as saying a shadow,

566
00:39:48,000 --> 00:39:50,000
it was a shape, a dark shape moving by,

567
00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:52,000
and I swear someone was in there with us.

568
00:39:52,000 --> 00:39:55,000
Unfortunately, there's no camera facing into that room.

569
00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:58,000
Dave has to actually pan the camera over there to get an image of it.

570
00:39:58,000 --> 00:40:00,000
Right. And by that time, whatever you saw isn't there.

571
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:04,000
So we went back and actually amplified the recordings from that EVP session.

572
00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:06,000
It seemed like there was some sort of activity in the room.

573
00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:08,000
Check this out, this is what we heard.

574
00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:10,000
Is there anyone here?

575
00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:17,000
There's something there.

576
00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:19,000
Right? I mean, it sounds like there's something there.

577
00:40:19,000 --> 00:40:22,000
It's a voice, but I don't know if it's saying anything in English.

578
00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:23,000
Exactly.

579
00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:27,000
So we went and tried to cross-reference it against Swedish,

580
00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:30,000
and the one thing that we got a pretty close match on is Lam Nahar.

581
00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:31,000
Listen.

582
00:40:32,000 --> 00:40:35,000
And Lam Nahar actually means leave now.

583
00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:39,000
It's a pretty strong message, and without even, you know, hearing that while we were there,

584
00:40:39,000 --> 00:40:40,000
that's exactly what we did.

585
00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:42,000
The other piece of evidence I want to show you is visual.

586
00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:44,000
While my team was investigating inside the labyrinth,

587
00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:46,000
Kyle saw something on his night vision scope.

588
00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:47,000
Check this out.

589
00:40:47,000 --> 00:40:52,000
In the maze, there's a ball of light, like an orb of some sort that went from here to here.

590
00:40:56,000 --> 00:40:59,000
I've tell you, I've looked at a lot of video footage from these investigations.

591
00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:00,000
I've never seen anything like that.

592
00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:03,000
At first you think, oh, maybe it's something floating on the wind,

593
00:41:03,000 --> 00:41:05,000
but it almost steps across the frame.

594
00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:06,000
It looks like it's walking over the rocks.

595
00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:09,000
I mean, this thing has a very weird profile.

596
00:41:09,000 --> 00:41:11,000
People believe that labyrinth is haunted,

597
00:41:11,000 --> 00:41:14,000
and it looks like there's something in that labyrinth with us.

598
00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:19,000
So look as a whole, I think that we have a few pieces of evidence here,

599
00:41:19,000 --> 00:41:20,000
but the few pieces we have are great.

600
00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:21,000
Right.

601
00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:24,000
The things we're hearing here, the things we're seeing here, I can't explain.

602
00:41:24,000 --> 00:41:28,000
And I think that really goes a long way to supporting the legends that surround this island.

603
00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:31,000
Sweden is a country alive with history,

604
00:41:31,000 --> 00:41:34,000
from its celebrated capital and Scandinavian settlements

605
00:41:34,000 --> 00:41:37,000
to its stunning wilderness and natural beauty,

606
00:41:37,000 --> 00:41:39,000
but it is also a place of legend,

607
00:41:39,000 --> 00:41:41,000
of Viking lore and tales of witchcraft.

608
00:41:41,000 --> 00:41:46,000
Whether Blah, Young Front was really the site of demonic rituals may never be known for sure.

609
00:41:46,000 --> 00:41:49,000
But to those who make the effort to reach the island shores,

610
00:41:49,000 --> 00:41:52,000
take note to cast off again before sundown,

611
00:41:52,000 --> 00:41:55,000
or spend the night wondering if you're truly alone.

612
00:41:55,000 --> 00:41:56,000
Is there anyone here?
