1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:16,966
This series presents information based in part on theory and conjecture.

2
00:00:16,966 --> 00:00:21,490
The producer's purpose is to suggest some possible explanations, but not necessarily

3
00:00:21,490 --> 00:00:28,496
the only ones to the mysteries we will examine.

4
00:00:28,496 --> 00:00:37,583
A sudden draft from a window that was supposed to have been closed, a chill at the back of

5
00:00:37,583 --> 00:00:45,189
the neck, groans, creaks, and bumps in the night.

6
00:00:45,189 --> 00:00:50,874
Man has always been frightened by the dark, troubled by noises just beyond the reach of

7
00:00:50,874 --> 00:00:57,439
lights, occurrences just beyond the reach of understanding.

8
00:00:57,439 --> 00:01:04,445
A very dark, hooded, evil presence came from the hall.

9
00:01:04,445 --> 00:01:06,086
I didn't even have to see her distinctly.

10
00:01:06,086 --> 00:01:11,130
I just knew this is trouble, you know, and I'm going to do something about it.

11
00:01:11,130 --> 00:01:14,453
A ghostly apparition in the dark of night.

12
00:01:14,453 --> 00:01:15,454
What was it?

13
00:01:15,454 --> 00:01:17,135
And why did it come?

14
00:01:21,739 --> 00:01:30,066
There are stories of ghosts and of hauntings to suit every taste, from the playful to the

15
00:01:30,066 --> 00:01:31,507
macabre.

16
00:01:31,507 --> 00:01:35,751
But those who have studied ghosts claim to have discerned patterns in their behavior,

17
00:01:35,751 --> 00:01:39,113
what might be set down as rules of the haunt.

18
00:01:39,113 --> 00:01:42,916
For example, a ghost might be thought of as the spirit of someone who died in emotional

19
00:01:42,916 --> 00:01:43,917
turmoil.

20
00:01:43,917 --> 00:01:48,961
Further, it seems the spirit remains close to the place associated with the turmoil.

21
00:01:49,362 --> 00:01:54,366
Finally, it appears that the ghost wanders in its restless limbo until relieved of whatever

22
00:01:54,366 --> 00:01:56,768
its burden is.

23
00:01:56,768 --> 00:02:01,772
The best way to learn more about ghosts is to consult a ghost hunter.

24
00:02:04,774 --> 00:02:10,579
Hans Holzer understands the rules of ghostly behavior perhaps better than anyone else.

25
00:02:10,579 --> 00:02:14,182
It is his business to investigate hauntings.

26
00:02:14,182 --> 00:02:20,988
Holzer is a doctor of parapsychology and has written dozens of books on ghosts.

27
00:02:20,988 --> 00:02:25,791
Over the years, I've developed some pretty foolproof methods to explore the phenomena

28
00:02:25,791 --> 00:02:26,792
scientifically.

29
00:02:26,792 --> 00:02:34,078
I've used highly sensitive cameras and even more sensitive people, psychics, to get information

30
00:02:34,078 --> 00:02:37,801
which will lead to the discovery of a ghost.

31
00:02:37,801 --> 00:02:42,805
But in all my years of ghost hunting, I have never been afraid.

32
00:02:42,805 --> 00:02:47,009
After all, a ghost is only a fellow human being in trouble.

33
00:02:47,009 --> 00:02:51,813
Holzer may not be frightened by ghosts, but most of the people who call on him for help

34
00:02:51,813 --> 00:02:54,815
are.

35
00:02:54,815 --> 00:03:00,120
Perhaps this is because it is all so strange, because people instinctively fear what they

36
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:03,622
do not understand.

37
00:03:03,622 --> 00:03:08,066
Ghosts are the surviving emotional memories of people who've died tragically and cannot

38
00:03:08,066 --> 00:03:10,508
leave the spot of their passing.

39
00:03:10,508 --> 00:03:15,912
They keep reliving the final moments over and over again, like a phonograph needle stuck

40
00:03:15,912 --> 00:03:17,794
in the final brew.

41
00:03:17,794 --> 00:03:25,120
You see, ghosts are not aware that they're dead.

42
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:29,644
Ichabod Crane and the headless horseman came to life in the home and the work of Washington

43
00:03:29,644 --> 00:03:34,007
Irving.

44
00:03:34,007 --> 00:03:41,974
Some who care for the author's retreat think Irving may still be around himself.

45
00:03:41,974 --> 00:03:45,136
Holzer was asked to find out.

46
00:03:45,136 --> 00:03:49,980
It looked a part of a haunted house, all right, but the more I looked for hard evidence of

47
00:03:49,980 --> 00:03:54,184
a ghost, the more doubtful I became.

48
00:03:54,184 --> 00:03:57,707
Holzer had to pin down what had actually occurred in the old house.

49
00:03:57,707 --> 00:04:01,309
Well, I thought it was rather unusual one day.

50
00:04:01,309 --> 00:04:07,835
Our former librarian was reading Irving's will in the basement, and all the interpreters

51
00:04:07,835 --> 00:04:12,759
were down there, and we suddenly heard a crash upstairs.

52
00:04:12,759 --> 00:04:13,760
We ran up.

53
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:18,283
It sounded like someone had fallen down the steps, and when we got upstairs, there was

54
00:04:18,283 --> 00:04:24,528
an iron sitting in the middle of the laundry, falling from the table.

55
00:04:24,528 --> 00:04:29,172
Ghosts have been known to do such things, but Holzer feels there must be a suitable

56
00:04:29,172 --> 00:04:31,874
motive.

57
00:04:31,874 --> 00:04:39,020
He talked to Joseph Butler, curator of the Irving Museum and Library.

58
00:04:39,020 --> 00:04:44,465
During your years here, have you ever heard of any legends, a legend that ghosts or uncanny

59
00:04:44,465 --> 00:04:46,106
happenings are bound here?

60
00:04:46,106 --> 00:04:51,831
Well, of course Irving himself said that when he died, he was sure that he would return

61
00:04:51,831 --> 00:05:04,041
to haunt sunny side as a friendly ghost.

62
00:05:04,041 --> 00:05:08,284
Irving's whimsical warning that he might return as a playful ghost didn't square with

63
00:05:08,284 --> 00:05:15,010
Holzer's experience, his knowledge of ghost behavior.

64
00:05:15,010 --> 00:05:20,374
The ghost at Washington Irving's cottage had no substance after all, but in the little

65
00:05:20,374 --> 00:05:26,979
fishing village of Port Clyde, I found a different kind of story.

66
00:05:26,979 --> 00:05:34,786
Port Clyde is a fishing village wedged in a rocky enclave of the main coast.

67
00:05:34,786 --> 00:05:38,509
Indians fished these waters long before the Europeans came.

68
00:05:38,509 --> 00:05:44,274
Then, for a time, the Yankee whalers held sway here.

69
00:05:44,274 --> 00:05:47,356
They were strong, practical men.

70
00:05:47,356 --> 00:05:53,281
Indians steeled for long voyages in search of whale.

71
00:05:53,281 --> 00:06:00,367
They were replaced in time by fleets of caught fishermen, the same practical Yankee breed.

72
00:06:00,367 --> 00:06:06,171
Now it's lobster that lures the men of Port Clyde, but little else has changed.

73
00:06:06,171 --> 00:06:11,216
Making a living from the sea still demands courage and skill, and there's little time

74
00:06:11,216 --> 00:06:17,341
for frivolous pursuits and wild imaginings.

75
00:06:17,341 --> 00:06:22,785
Carl Schwab has fished Port Clyde's waters for years, a spiritual descendant of the Yankee

76
00:06:22,785 --> 00:06:27,189
whalers.

77
00:06:27,189 --> 00:06:32,993
He and his family once lived in a house that some in Port Clyde say is haunted, but had

78
00:06:32,993 --> 00:06:38,598
Schwab ever seen or heard anything unusual at the old house?

79
00:06:38,598 --> 00:06:43,082
Not unusual, not for winds here in the winter time, but I don't know much history of the

80
00:06:43,082 --> 00:06:50,888
house, other than what this has come out.

81
00:06:50,888 --> 00:06:54,491
This is the ghost Carl Schwab was talking about.

82
00:06:54,491 --> 00:07:01,497
I first heard about it from brother and sister Carol Schulte and Bob Oliveary.

83
00:07:01,497 --> 00:07:05,940
Carol and Bob had spent lazy summers with their parents in the Port Clyde house Carl

84
00:07:05,940 --> 00:07:08,342
Schwab once lived in.

85
00:07:08,342 --> 00:07:10,704
It was a fine retreat for the young people.

86
00:07:11,185 --> 00:07:15,989
A wonderful old house full of nooks and crannies and creaking wood.

87
00:07:15,989 --> 00:07:18,991
It was weatherworn, but comfortable.

88
00:07:18,991 --> 00:07:25,797
There was a night in the summer of 1972, however, which was not comfortable at all.

89
00:07:25,797 --> 00:07:31,401
It was the night Bob Oliveary became aware of a presence in his bedroom.

90
00:07:31,401 --> 00:07:38,487
One night I was awakened by a noise in the hallway, like a pacing of footsteps.

91
00:07:38,527 --> 00:07:40,448
I had no idea what it was.

92
00:07:40,448 --> 00:07:44,372
I got up and the sound stopped.

93
00:07:44,372 --> 00:07:49,376
As soon as I got back in bed, I heard the noise again, these footsteps.

94
00:07:49,376 --> 00:07:54,620
I got up again, I came to the same spot and stopped.

95
00:07:54,620 --> 00:07:59,944
And so then I checked my parents' room and they were sound asleep.

96
00:07:59,944 --> 00:08:02,547
I thought maybe it was my three-year-old nephew.

97
00:08:02,547 --> 00:08:08,231
I went down the hallway and I checked in his room and he was sound asleep in a crib in

98
00:08:08,231 --> 00:08:10,233
my sister was sound asleep.

99
00:08:12,234 --> 00:08:14,236
So then I came back in bed again.

100
00:08:16,758 --> 00:08:21,042
And while I was in bed, I got in bed, I heard the footsteps again.

101
00:08:21,042 --> 00:08:25,205
And they were coming up the hall and they stopped.

102
00:08:25,205 --> 00:08:27,887
It seemed like it was at the edge of the hallway.

103
00:08:27,887 --> 00:08:33,972
And a few minutes later, I could feel something on my sheets, like a pressing, like someone pressing down.

104
00:08:33,972 --> 00:08:38,976
And there was nothing near, but I could see the sheets being indented.

105
00:08:38,976 --> 00:08:44,060
And it kept on coming up my body till finally at the end, something pulled my hair.

106
00:08:44,060 --> 00:08:48,544
And I was just scared for the rest of the night I couldn't get to sleep.

107
00:08:51,266 --> 00:08:55,870
Carol, what exactly happened to you in this house when you slept here one night?

108
00:08:55,870 --> 00:09:01,595
OK, first of all, I was sleeping in this bedroom in here, which is generally my mother's and father's bedroom.

109
00:09:01,675 --> 00:09:04,037
But I just happened to be sleeping here that night.

110
00:09:04,037 --> 00:09:09,681
And I was in a deep sleep and my girlfriend was sleeping in that room with her animals.

111
00:09:09,681 --> 00:09:17,408
Now, one of her animals, a Siamese cat, came in and woke me up or tried to wake me up several times and I finally did wake up.

112
00:09:17,408 --> 00:09:23,212
I lie down and I thought, well, it'll go away, you know, and then it just kept rubbing against like my face and everything.

113
00:09:23,212 --> 00:09:28,096
So I was like this and I sat up to turn this light on.

114
00:09:28,096 --> 00:09:31,339
And I said, this is the only way I'm going to get rid of this cat by turning the light on.

115
00:09:31,339 --> 00:09:33,261
And I sat up to do that.

116
00:09:33,261 --> 00:09:35,022
And I never got the light turned on because I sat up.

117
00:09:35,022 --> 00:09:37,864
I realized that there was a light there.

118
00:09:37,864 --> 00:09:44,310
And the cat who was still here was also looking at, you know, this light, which was right at this window.

119
00:09:44,310 --> 00:09:46,952
At first I saw a little figure.

120
00:09:46,952 --> 00:09:50,275
It was female and she had her hands up to her mouth.

121
00:09:50,275 --> 00:09:52,276
And so she wasn't quite sure whether or not she wanted to do it.

122
00:09:52,276 --> 00:09:55,159
She was very shy, you know, going like this.

123
00:09:55,159 --> 00:09:58,121
And of course, all this happened in a matter of split seconds.

124
00:09:58,121 --> 00:10:09,210
She got larger and I realized that definitely it was a female figure with a white, very, the brightest white I'd ever seen nightgown on.

125
00:10:09,210 --> 00:10:12,453
And very small shoulders, you know, slender.

126
00:10:12,453 --> 00:10:15,095
And I said, Marion, Marion.

127
00:10:15,095 --> 00:10:19,378
Carol awakened me in the middle of the night by calling out my name quite urgently.

128
00:10:19,378 --> 00:10:25,103
And I woke up and the first time I heard my name, I didn't want to respond to it because it frightened me.

129
00:10:25,103 --> 00:10:28,346
And then she screamed up my name louder again.

130
00:10:28,346 --> 00:10:33,470
So I blinked my eyes again and I realized that I could see through her.

131
00:10:33,470 --> 00:10:36,913
And I realized then that it wasn't Marion.

132
00:10:36,913 --> 00:10:42,317
And she right away started communicating to me through her hands.

133
00:10:42,317 --> 00:10:45,840
And her hands started to go through washing movements.

134
00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:48,522
And she got larger as she came to me.

135
00:10:48,522 --> 00:10:54,247
Now, as I got scared in direct proportion to her approach.

136
00:10:54,247 --> 00:10:56,609
And I knew that she wanted me to do something.

137
00:10:56,609 --> 00:10:59,051
She was desperate in a way.

138
00:10:59,051 --> 00:11:04,976
And at that point, I really was scared and I ducked under the covers, so to speak.

139
00:11:04,976 --> 00:11:07,257
And I just called Marion.

140
00:11:07,257 --> 00:11:09,739
And then she screamed out my name louder.

141
00:11:09,739 --> 00:11:12,262
And there was quite a note of urgency in her voice.

142
00:11:12,262 --> 00:11:22,630
So I got out of bed and I went running across the hall to the room in which she was sleeping.

143
00:11:22,630 --> 00:11:28,034
And she clutched at me and said, Marion, I have just seen a ghost.

144
00:11:28,034 --> 00:11:31,117
And I believed her because it was very real.

145
00:11:31,117 --> 00:11:34,880
Past my fear, I sensed that there was something evil.

146
00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:37,802
It was an evil presence.

147
00:11:37,802 --> 00:11:42,686
If Bob, Marion, and Carol truly experienced a ghostly visit,

148
00:11:42,686 --> 00:11:47,050
then Hans Holzer must determine whose ghost was abroad that night.

149
00:11:47,050 --> 00:11:49,092
And find a way to put it to rest.

150
00:11:53,655 --> 00:11:59,660
Hans Holzer is convinced there is merit to the eyewitness accounts of a haunting at Port Clyde.

151
00:11:59,660 --> 00:12:05,665
He has enlisted the help of psychic Ingrid Beckman for the next phase of his investigation.

152
00:12:09,668 --> 00:12:13,672
Ingrid works as a book designer for a New York publisher.

153
00:12:13,672 --> 00:12:20,677
She became aware of her psychic abilities, her special sensitivities to emanations five years ago,

154
00:12:20,677 --> 00:12:24,681
and has worked with Holzer on a number of similar investigations.

155
00:12:24,681 --> 00:12:31,686
She knows nothing about Port Clyde, the former occupants of the old house, or the circumstances of the haunting.

156
00:12:36,690 --> 00:12:39,693
Hans, immediately I feel the presence of a woman.

157
00:12:40,694 --> 00:12:42,695
What about this room?

158
00:12:43,696 --> 00:12:47,699
Well, this presence comes from another house that was on this property,

159
00:12:47,699 --> 00:12:52,704
so that I don't feel it in any particular room, but I do feel that I should go upstairs,

160
00:12:52,704 --> 00:12:54,705
because I think there will be more up there.

161
00:12:55,706 --> 00:13:00,710
Hans depends on Ingrid's sensitivity to impressions of the past that may remain in the structure,

162
00:13:00,710 --> 00:13:04,713
and to any non-visible emanations she may detect.

163
00:13:04,713 --> 00:13:11,719
As I go through this house, I can see in my mind's eye the house that was on the property before.

164
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:19,726
And in my mind, I sense a field back in this direction, and there was land that went with this.

165
00:13:22,728 --> 00:13:28,733
Now we're upstairs, and I want you to look at every room and give me your impressions of it.

166
00:13:29,734 --> 00:13:31,735
Well, the upstairs is the most active.

167
00:13:32,736 --> 00:13:39,742
I sense a woman who is waiting, and I have an impression now of a storm,

168
00:13:39,742 --> 00:13:44,746
that she is very upset about a gale of some kind. It seems to be November.

169
00:13:45,747 --> 00:13:52,753
I also feel that she has looked out of not this very same window, but windows in this direction of the house.

170
00:13:52,753 --> 00:14:02,761
And I just got an impression where she says she, meaning a schooner, was built on the Kennebec, the Kennebec River.

171
00:14:02,761 --> 00:14:12,769
It seems to be a, oh, I think it's a double-masted schooner, and it seems to be her husband who's on this.

172
00:14:13,770 --> 00:14:19,775
Ship registries of the 19th century confirm that a whaler named Catherine sailed from these waters.

173
00:14:19,775 --> 00:14:22,777
Records of her crew, however, are lost.

174
00:14:23,778 --> 00:14:24,779
What does she look like?

175
00:14:24,779 --> 00:14:33,786
I see a tall woman who's rather thin and frail with dark hair, and it appears to be a white gown.

176
00:14:33,786 --> 00:14:40,792
Could be a night gown I see her in. Looks like a night gown to me, with a little embroidery on the front.

177
00:14:40,792 --> 00:14:41,793
Hand done.

178
00:14:42,793 --> 00:14:44,795
I'd better see if she cares to make contact with us.

179
00:14:44,795 --> 00:14:47,798
All right. We'll go back into that first room then.

180
00:14:54,803 --> 00:15:00,808
If the entity is present and wishes to talk to us, we've come as friends.

181
00:15:02,810 --> 00:15:08,815
She's very unhappy here, Hans. She says her family hails from England.

182
00:15:08,815 --> 00:15:11,817
I get her name as Margaret.

183
00:15:12,818 --> 00:15:13,819
Margaret what?

184
00:15:14,820 --> 00:15:20,825
Something like H or something of that sort. I'm not getting the whole name.

185
00:15:20,825 --> 00:15:22,826
What period are we in now?

186
00:15:22,826 --> 00:15:27,830
This is... now she says 1843.

187
00:15:27,830 --> 00:15:34,836
She's very unhappy because she wanted to settle in Kennebunk. She does not like it here.

188
00:15:35,837 --> 00:15:38,839
She doesn't like the responsibilities of the house.

189
00:15:38,839 --> 00:15:39,840
How did you get here?

190
00:15:40,841 --> 00:15:45,845
Her husband liked it in this fishing village. She was very unhappy about his choice.

191
00:15:45,845 --> 00:15:46,846
Oh, is she here?

192
00:15:46,846 --> 00:15:51,850
She calls Kennebunk the city. That to her is a center.

193
00:15:51,850 --> 00:15:53,852
Why is she still here?

194
00:15:53,852 --> 00:15:55,853
She's left with all this responsibility.

195
00:15:56,854 --> 00:15:59,856
Her husband went on a ship.

196
00:16:00,857 --> 00:16:01,858
Her husband had a commission.

197
00:16:01,858 --> 00:16:03,860
What kind of a commission?

198
00:16:03,860 --> 00:16:04,861
On a whaling ship.

199
00:16:04,861 --> 00:16:06,862
What was the name of the ship?

200
00:16:06,862 --> 00:16:09,865
St. Catherine or St. Catharines.

201
00:16:09,865 --> 00:16:10,865
The ship didn't come back?

202
00:16:10,865 --> 00:16:11,866
No.

203
00:16:12,867 --> 00:16:15,870
Where did they get married? In what church?

204
00:16:17,871 --> 00:16:18,872
Lutheran.

205
00:16:18,872 --> 00:16:19,873
Lutheran?

206
00:16:19,873 --> 00:16:22,875
Does she remember the name of the minister?

207
00:16:23,876 --> 00:16:26,879
Thorpe. Thomas Thorpe.

208
00:16:26,879 --> 00:16:28,880
When they were married, was that in this town?

209
00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:29,881
No.

210
00:16:29,881 --> 00:16:31,883
What town was it in?

211
00:16:31,883 --> 00:16:34,885
Long way away. Some kind of a province of a place.

212
00:16:35,886 --> 00:16:37,888
And they came right here after that?

213
00:16:37,888 --> 00:16:38,888
Went into Sacco.

214
00:16:39,889 --> 00:16:41,891
And then where did they move to?

215
00:16:42,892 --> 00:16:45,894
Clive. Clive. Poor Clive.

216
00:16:45,894 --> 00:16:47,896
Now, she and her husband lived here alone?

217
00:16:48,897 --> 00:16:49,897
Two children.

218
00:16:49,897 --> 00:16:50,898
What were they like?

219
00:16:51,899 --> 00:16:52,900
Philip.

220
00:16:54,901 --> 00:16:55,902
But he went to sea.

221
00:16:55,902 --> 00:16:56,903
And the other one?

222
00:16:58,905 --> 00:16:59,905
Francis.

223
00:17:00,906 --> 00:17:01,907
Did he go to sea too?

224
00:17:01,907 --> 00:17:02,908
No.

225
00:17:02,908 --> 00:17:03,909
What happened to him?

226
00:17:03,909 --> 00:17:05,910
I think Francis died.

227
00:17:05,910 --> 00:17:06,911
Or did he die?

228
00:17:06,911 --> 00:17:08,913
I get cholera.

229
00:17:09,914 --> 00:17:10,914
What?

230
00:17:10,914 --> 00:17:11,915
Cholera.

231
00:17:15,919 --> 00:17:17,920
And he was seventeen.

232
00:17:19,922 --> 00:17:23,925
Ingrid has come up with some hard information about the ghost.

233
00:17:23,925 --> 00:17:27,928
The family name Hatton, the time they lived in poor Clyde,

234
00:17:27,928 --> 00:17:29,930
and a ship named Catherine.

235
00:17:36,936 --> 00:17:39,938
Holzer would eventually seek out the town historian,

236
00:17:39,938 --> 00:17:42,941
Colonel Albert Smaley, for corroboration.

237
00:17:43,941 --> 00:17:46,944
Now, to the best of your knowledge,

238
00:17:46,944 --> 00:17:52,949
does the name Samuel and Hatton mean anything in connection with this area?

239
00:17:52,949 --> 00:18:01,956
Yes, Samuel Hatton lived in poor Clyde prior to 1850, that I'm sure about.

240
00:18:01,956 --> 00:18:02,957
What profession did he have?

241
00:18:02,957 --> 00:18:03,958
Sailor.

242
00:18:04,959 --> 00:18:07,961
Was there a ship called to say Catherine in this place?

243
00:18:07,961 --> 00:18:08,962
Yes, there was.

244
00:18:09,963 --> 00:18:12,965
And would it have been built at the Kennebick River?

245
00:18:12,965 --> 00:18:15,968
Or connected with it in some way?

246
00:18:15,968 --> 00:18:22,973
As I recall, it was, and I believe it was built in the Sewell Yard in the Kennebick River.

247
00:18:23,974 --> 00:18:27,977
Do you know the area of poor Clyde where the Lea Davis house now stands?

248
00:18:27,977 --> 00:18:34,983
Prior to this house, were there any houses in the immediate area?

249
00:18:34,983 --> 00:18:38,986
I've always been told that there was a house there.

250
00:18:38,986 --> 00:18:42,990
The Davis that owned it told me that he built on an old cellar.

251
00:18:42,990 --> 00:18:44,991
And how far back would that go?

252
00:18:44,991 --> 00:18:47,994
The new house was built around 1870.

253
00:18:47,994 --> 00:18:48,995
And there was one before that?

254
00:18:48,995 --> 00:18:50,996
There was one before that.

255
00:18:53,999 --> 00:18:59,003
A sailor's wife living alone for months at a time in a town she didn't like,

256
00:18:59,003 --> 00:19:02,005
with the burden of her duties weighing heavily on her.

257
00:19:03,006 --> 00:19:07,009
Heavily enough holds her things to have kept her long past her time.

258
00:19:07,009 --> 00:19:09,011
The problem is clear.

259
00:19:09,011 --> 00:19:11,013
Freer if he can.

260
00:19:12,013 --> 00:19:13,014
And she's alone now?

261
00:19:13,014 --> 00:19:14,015
Yes, she is.

262
00:19:14,015 --> 00:19:16,017
Is she aware of her passing?

263
00:19:17,017 --> 00:19:20,020
No, she's very concerned over the flocks.

264
00:19:20,020 --> 00:19:24,023
She says it's now come April and it's time for sheering.

265
00:19:25,024 --> 00:19:27,026
Is she aware of the people in the house now?

266
00:19:29,027 --> 00:19:31,029
She wants to communicate.

267
00:19:31,029 --> 00:19:33,031
What does she want them to do for her?

268
00:19:33,031 --> 00:19:36,033
She wants for them to help her with the farm.

269
00:19:36,033 --> 00:19:38,035
She says it's too much.

270
00:19:38,035 --> 00:19:41,037
And she, the soil is all rocky.

271
00:19:42,038 --> 00:19:44,040
And she can't get labor from the town.

272
00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:47,042
She's having a terrible time.

273
00:19:47,042 --> 00:19:48,043
Can you see her?

274
00:19:49,044 --> 00:19:50,044
Yes, I do see her.

275
00:19:50,044 --> 00:19:51,045
Can she see you?

276
00:19:52,046 --> 00:19:53,047
Yes.

277
00:19:53,047 --> 00:19:59,052
Tell her that this is 1976 and that much time has passed.

278
00:20:00,053 --> 00:20:02,054
Does she understand this?

279
00:20:03,055 --> 00:20:04,056
She just keeps complaining.

280
00:20:04,056 --> 00:20:06,058
She has no one to write letters to.

281
00:20:08,059 --> 00:20:13,063
Does she understand that her husband has passed on that she herself is a spirit?

282
00:20:14,064 --> 00:20:15,065
She's free to go.

283
00:20:16,066 --> 00:20:17,067
Does she understand that...

284
00:20:17,067 --> 00:20:18,067
She said to Kenny Bunk?

285
00:20:18,067 --> 00:20:24,072
Any place she wishes to the city or better to join her husband on the other side of life.

286
00:20:24,072 --> 00:20:27,075
She said, oh, what I would do for a townhouse.

287
00:20:27,075 --> 00:20:30,077
Ask her to call out to her husband to take her away.

288
00:20:30,077 --> 00:20:31,078
He's waiting for her.

289
00:20:32,079 --> 00:20:34,080
She, she's wanting to turn on the lights.

290
00:20:35,081 --> 00:20:36,082
She's talking about the oil lamps.

291
00:20:37,083 --> 00:20:38,084
She wants them all lit.

292
00:20:39,085 --> 00:20:44,089
Tell her the people here will take good care of the house, of the lamps and of the land.

293
00:20:44,089 --> 00:20:46,090
And she's saying no tallow for the kitchen.

294
00:20:47,091 --> 00:20:48,092
Not to worry.

295
00:20:48,092 --> 00:20:50,094
And the root cellar is empty.

296
00:20:51,094 --> 00:20:52,095
Does she see him?

297
00:20:52,095 --> 00:20:53,096
Yes.

298
00:20:55,098 --> 00:20:56,098
Are they going off together?

299
00:20:58,100 --> 00:21:05,106
Only time will tell if Hans Holzer was successful.

300
00:21:10,110 --> 00:21:14,113
We've learned some things from Hans Holzer's ghost-hunted port Clyde.

301
00:21:14,113 --> 00:21:18,116
Learn, for example, that if we accept the possibility that ghosts exist,

302
00:21:18,116 --> 00:21:21,119
we can begin to study their behavior in a systematic way.

303
00:21:22,120 --> 00:21:27,124
The study of ghosts is more than just a fascinating mental exercise, however.

304
00:21:27,124 --> 00:21:32,128
If Professor Holzer is right about ghosts being nothing more than people in trouble,

305
00:21:32,128 --> 00:21:34,130
it is our responsibility to help them.

306
00:21:35,130 --> 00:21:40,134
It would be nice to think that help would be available to us if our lives went awry,

307
00:21:40,134 --> 00:21:44,138
if our spirits were to move restlessly in the night.
