1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,000
I just fell in love with this house.

2
00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:06,000
I didn't want to live there.

3
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:10,000
Something was just not right with the house.

4
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:14,000
There were dead body parts of squirrels and rodents.

5
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:19,000
I just felt very unsettled.

6
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:21,000
I was so scared.

7
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:24,000
I was so scared.

8
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:26,000
I was so scared.

9
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:30,000
I just felt very unsettled.

10
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:36,000
And then the nightmare started.

11
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:44,000
If it was up to me, I would have moved out of the house.

12
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:48,000
I was never so scared in my life.

13
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:55,000
These are things that I can't explain.

14
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:58,000
I don't know what was causing it.

15
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:32,000
I moved to Mansfield in 1994.

16
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:36,000
It's really quaint. It's pretty.

17
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:41,000
I have three grown children.

18
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:48,000
And I had gone through a bad divorce and it was time for us to move on.

19
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:53,000
And I was on lookout for houses for me and my daughter.

20
00:01:53,000 --> 00:02:01,000
And as I drove by this house, it was peeling paint.

21
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:07,000
The trees were overgrown, but even in the condition it was in, it was beautiful.

22
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:10,000
Absolutely beautiful.

23
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:13,000
Alissa!

24
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:17,000
I could fix it up.

25
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:21,000
Don't you think?

26
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:29,000
And there was a big plywood sheet that said, going to auction, sealed bids, and there was a phone number.

27
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:33,000
And I'm going, oh yeah, that's for me.

28
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:38,000
I couldn't believe that my mom would even think about buying a house like this.

29
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:43,000
Windows were all broken into, paint was all peeling off of it.

30
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:47,000
You could tell that nobody lived there for a few years.

31
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:52,000
Like something was just not right with the house.

32
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:58,000
Here we go.

33
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:01,000
I called up the property manager.

34
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:04,000
Hi, I'm calling about the property on Black Creek Drive.

35
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:07,000
We set up a time and a day.

36
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:10,000
Thank you. Bye.

37
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:12,000
Tomorrow!

38
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:22,000
I was getting extremely excited about the possibilities.

39
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:30,000
When I pulled up in my car, the property manager was already there.

40
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:32,000
Hi.

41
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:37,000
We walked around the outside.

42
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:47,000
There was like a sad situation that a house that gorgeous was so run down.

43
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:59,000
The property manager went to the back of the house to get to the basement because I wanted to check out the foundations.

44
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:15,000
He went first and it was damp, it was dark.

45
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:22,000
And in the middle of this floor is a stone structure.

46
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:25,000
I've never seen anything like that.

47
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:28,000
There was no reason for it to be there. It just was odd.

48
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:31,000
Shall we?

49
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:50,000
When we opened the door and walked through, it was dirty, it was mess.

50
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:58,000
The third floor was an all in all the worst floor of all.

51
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:02,000
The ceiling was falling down.

52
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:07,000
There were dead body parts of squirrels and rodents.

53
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:12,000
There were old dressers, old beds and a wheelchair.

54
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:18,000
And there was a board that said Mansfield Training School.

55
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:22,000
So I started asking him about the history of this house.

56
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:23,000
What is this place?

57
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:28,000
And he told me that the records had been lost and that's all they knew about it.

58
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:35,000
But it didn't put me off because I visualized what it would be when I finished with it.

59
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:39,000
And that was going to be the most magnificent house.

60
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:45,000
Honestly, I thought this is going to be my Picasso.

61
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:54,000
And the minimum bid was $100,000 and I just couldn't resist bidding on it.

62
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:02,000
The property manager called me and he goes, you got it.

63
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:03,000
That's wonderful.

64
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:06,000
And I'm just going, what? What? I got it, I got it.

65
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:09,000
And I was so excited, I couldn't believe it.

66
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:18,000
She was so excited about having this project.

67
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:24,000
As for me, I didn't want to live there.

68
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:29,000
But she put almost all of her money into this one house.

69
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:33,000
So I'm going to go along with it and just give it a shot.

70
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:38,000
I mean, I really didn't have a choice.

71
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:44,000
I wanted to get on with it straight away.

72
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:53,000
I had a full-time job, so I renovated at night.

73
00:06:53,000 --> 00:07:00,000
I was on the 12-foot step ladder close to the ceiling, ripping the wallpaper down.

74
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:10,000
And I'm very focused on what I'm doing.

75
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:20,000
Damn it.

76
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:25,000
And then it was afterwards.

77
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:28,000
As if something was running.

78
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:33,000
I was really scared.

79
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:39,000
I'm out in this abandoned house at night surrounded by fields, no neighbors.

80
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:41,000
I didn't even go to investigate.

81
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:49,000
I left the house, got my vehicle and went home.

82
00:07:49,000 --> 00:08:02,000
I was so scared.

83
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:04,000
The next day was a Saturday.

84
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:07,000
And as soon as I got up, I came back to the house.

85
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:14,000
I wanted to know if someone was in that house.

86
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:25,000
Hello?

87
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:37,000
I looked around to see if there was anything out of the ordinary.

88
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:59,000
And there was nothing there.

89
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:03,000
I put it down to just a freak accident or something.

90
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:05,000
I had no clue what it was.

91
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:25,000
None.

92
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:32,000
The day my daughter Alyssa and I moved into the house, it was a really exciting time.

93
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:34,000
No, I love her.

94
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:36,000
I was ecstatic.

95
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:41,000
And my daughter liked the house and she thought it was great.

96
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:52,000
My mom was all excited about it, but my gut feeling was that we should not have moved into the house.

97
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:58,000
I just felt very unsettled.

98
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:09,000
There was definitely a presence there.

99
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:21,000
I finally got the courage to go explore the house.

100
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:26,000
There was this door going up to the third floor.

101
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:31,000
There was paint chipping and they had this weird old latch on it.

102
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:41,000
Right away, I just got a weird feeling.

103
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:48,000
When I opened the latch, it just got this gust of cold air.

104
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:53,000
And it just kind of took my breath away.

105
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:59,000
I was terrified, but I remember I was just so curious and scared at the same time.

106
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:15,000
I really wanted to see what was up there.

107
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:17,000
All I wanted to do is run back down the stairs.

108
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:24,000
But I just was like, okay, let me look around.

109
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:29,000
But every step, the feeling got worse.

110
00:11:48,000 --> 00:12:03,000
I was paralyzed for a few seconds and then somebody or something was standing behind me, breathing down on me.

111
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:05,000
It was evil.

112
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:11,000
Like an evil spirit.

113
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:42,000
I was paralyzed for a few seconds and then somebody or something was standing behind me, breathing down on me.

114
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:53,000
It was evil. Like an evil spirit.

115
00:12:53,000 --> 00:13:08,000
I just burst the door open and I ran like my life was at stake.

116
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:14,000
I told my mom and she was like, I'm sure it was just the wind, but I wasn't imagining it.

117
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:20,000
There was definitely something up there.

118
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:26,000
A few weeks later, my mom and I started cooking dinner in the kitchen.

119
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:30,000
We're talking about the day, which he had done, what I had done.

120
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:34,000
So, how was school?

121
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:35,000
Good?

122
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:37,000
What does that mean?

123
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:40,000
All of a sudden, we hear...

124
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:41,000
What was that?

125
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:45,000
And we heard these footsteps.

126
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:47,000
It was very loud, very heavy.

127
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:50,000
My daughter hears it, I hear it.

128
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:54,000
We're startled and we're scared and we didn't know what it was.

129
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:56,000
Mom, what's happening?

130
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:58,000
I don't know.

131
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:02,000
My mom was like, I don't know, let's go see.

132
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:04,000
You coming?

133
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:08,000
My mom went ahead of me and I was holding onto her shirt.

134
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:10,000
Shh.

135
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:19,000
It's okay. I got you. I got you.

136
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:26,000
We stood at the bottom of the stairs listening and I said, well, I'm going up there.

137
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:29,000
She wouldn't come up. She was afraid.

138
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:36,000
My heart stopped and I just ran out the door and I didn't want to come back inside.

139
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:37,000
Melissa?

140
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:38,000
Yeah.

141
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:39,000
Are you okay?

142
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:40,000
Yeah.

143
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:43,000
I walked up the stairs.

144
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:46,000
I had a hammer in my hand.

145
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:53,000
I turned to look down the hall.

146
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:58,000
And there's not a thing in there.

147
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:05,000
And so I went down the hall and I checked the bedrooms one by one.

148
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:14,000
And I've never felt the terror I'm feeling.

149
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:31,000
Mom!

150
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:50,000
And there was nothing there. There was nothing there. There was no reason for those noises.

151
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:52,000
Mom!

152
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:57,000
If it was up to me, I would have moved out of the house that day.

153
00:15:57,000 --> 00:16:00,000
But there was really nothing I could do.

154
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:16,000
All this time I was doing work on the house and as I was tearing things down,

155
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:22,000
the more it seemed that the noises were escalating.

156
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:24,000
We were downstairs. We were here stomping upstairs.

157
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:29,000
If we were upstairs, we'd hear stomping downstairs and doors slamming.

158
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:35,000
It was progressively getting worse.

159
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:43,000
And there was this door going up to the third floor.

160
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:48,000
And every day I would walk past the door, it would be open.

161
00:16:55,000 --> 00:17:03,000
And so I took a metal rod and wedged it so you couldn't lift the latch up unless that piece of rod was out.

162
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:08,000
I'd be halfway down the hall and I'd hear...

163
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:15,000
...a sound of a door opening.

164
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:29,000
And I thought, I'm going nuts.

165
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:32,000
Because there's no logical explanation for this.

166
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:38,000
I didn't believe it could be anything supernatural or out of the ordinary.

167
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:40,000
I did not want to believe that.

168
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:44,000
Hey, Mom. Hi, baby.

169
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:48,000
You okay?

170
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:49,000
Yeah.

171
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:57,000
I knew she kept things from me.

172
00:17:57,000 --> 00:18:03,000
She knew I was scared and that it would just make it worse if she told me things that happened to her.

173
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:08,000
So I'd come in every day and just make believe like nothing's happening.

174
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:14,000
But I'd always feel like I'm just waiting for the next thing to show up or that next sound.

175
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:16,000
That night I heard this moaning coming from my mom's bedroom.

176
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:21,000
And it was loud.

177
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:22,000
And it was getting louder.

178
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:24,000
And it sounded to me like she was having sex.

179
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:33,000
And I heard a sound coming from my mom's bedroom.

180
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:39,000
And it was loud.

181
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:40,000
And it was getting louder.

182
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:43,000
And it sounded to me like she was having sex.

183
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:46,000
And it sounded to me like she was having sex.

184
00:18:57,000 --> 00:18:59,000
Mom, I can hear you.

185
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:02,000
I listened for a second and it almost sounded like it was getting louder.

186
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:03,000
So I banged again.

187
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:05,000
Mom!

188
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:10,000
And then all of a sudden I'm thinking, I saw my mom leave.

189
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:17,000
I got nauseous and I felt like I was going to get sick.

190
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:22,000
And then I heard the door click behind me.

191
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:29,000
My heart stopped and I just turned and I ran down the stairs.

192
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:46,000
And then I heard the door click behind me.

193
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:52,000
It lets you experience that kind of fear.

194
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:54,000
Like it's so hard to describe.

195
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:56,000
Like it's just terror.

196
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:17,000
I just got home from work and it was horrible to see her so scared.

197
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:20,000
And I could not come up with any sort of idea of what it could possibly be.

198
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:47,000
Finally, I had the opportunity to move in with my boyfriend.

199
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:51,000
And it wasn't that I was ready.

200
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:55,000
It was just a chance for me to leave.

201
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:10,000
Take care, okay?

202
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:16,000
I was concerned about my mom living there by herself, but I just had to get away from the house.

203
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:21,000
And it was the first perfect opportunity to move.

204
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:43,000
Summer came and I had to have a dishwasher installed.

205
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:47,000
So I called an electrician and told him where the main panel was, which was down in the basement.

206
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:08,000
He told me he had opened the doors.

207
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:13,000
He walked down the stairs.

208
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:18,000
Took a few steps ahead.

209
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:31,000
Turned around and there's no one there.

210
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:33,000
No one there.

211
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:41,000
He was so scared.

212
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:43,000
He wouldn't come back into the house.

213
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:45,000
He wouldn't come back in.

214
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:55,000
It was disturbing that someone had something happen to them in my home.

215
00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:58,000
And now a part of my home is out of bounds.

216
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:04,000
The first time I saw him, I was like,

217
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:06,000
I'm going to be a part of this.

218
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:13,000
Shortly after that, a friend of mine, Dave McGahn, needed a place to live.

219
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:16,000
I was going through a divorce.

220
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:19,000
I decided I wanted to leave my home.

221
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:26,000
And Amy said, I'm living here alone and you're more than welcome to come and take one of the rooms.

222
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:33,000
You okay?

223
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:35,000
I'll be fine.

224
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:37,000
Yeah.

225
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:40,000
Okay, let's go see your new home.

226
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:45,000
All I had was my television and my bed and a nightstand and that's pretty much all I needed.

227
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:55,000
Amy had told me you would hear noises, you would hear bangs.

228
00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:59,000
I'm a police officer for over 20 years.

229
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:01,000
I'm not easily scared.

230
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:03,000
I thought it was her imagination running wild.

231
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:20,000
Often in the evening, Amy would have to work.

232
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:22,000
And one night I was in my room.

233
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:25,000
I was lying on the bed watching television.

234
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:32,000
And suddenly I heard the floorboard creaking outside the door.

235
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:41,000
And I looked over and I saw a shadow moving past my door.

236
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:50,000
Immediately I was nervous because I knew that Amy wasn't home and I was the only one in the house.

237
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:54,000
And I picked up the gun and I slid off the bed.

238
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:12,000
And I unlatched my door and I peeked my head out and looked down the hallway.

239
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:16,000
And I couldn't see anything.

240
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:22,000
Worried, I kept my gun down at my side and I walked down the hallway.

241
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:32,000
I checked every single room.

242
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:45,000
There was nobody there.

243
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:49,000
I just kind of shook it off.

244
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:52,000
Maybe I'm tired, maybe I've just got to get more sleep.

245
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:05,000
I had gathered up the plates and the cups and things and I had to go down the staircase to get to the kitchen.

246
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:19,000
And I was just minding my own business and moving along like I normally would.

247
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:32,000
Suddenly...

248
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:38,000
I didn't understand what I just saw.

249
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:45,000
Something stepped in front of me and as quickly as it moved in front, it was gone.

250
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:49,000
These are things that I can't explain.

251
00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:54,000
I saw it with my own eyes but I don't know what was causing it.

252
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:16,000
All the noises and occurrences were starting to bother me a lot and kept getting worse.

253
00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:23,000
There was a night that I just finished working, I was tired.

254
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:26,000
And I'm watching TV.

255
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:28,000
All of a sudden I hear this click.

256
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:42,000
And I'm so petrified, I can't move.

257
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:50,000
And then I hear this growl.

258
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:57,000
I was never so scared in my life.

259
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:03,000
There was nothing there and the door was shut.

260
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:07,000
It's upset to me, it's still upset to me.

261
00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:10,000
That was bad.

262
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:21,000
That same evening, I was in my room, I was lying on the bed watching television.

263
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:28,000
And I heard a water bottle hitting the floor.

264
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:37,000
I thought that was pretty unusual but things like that happened.

265
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:41,000
So I put it back in the bag.

266
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:56,000
Suddenly that same water bottle went flying and it heard this growling sound and it moved to the closet.

267
00:28:57,000 --> 00:29:00,000
I was scared to death.

268
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:07,000
My mind was racing trying to figure out what was happening, what was going on, what was that growling sound, what threw the bottle past my head.

269
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:09,000
I wasn't sure.

270
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:20,000
So at this point I knew that there was something there that I couldn't understand.

271
00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:29,000
And that's what's still difficult to me.

272
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:42,000
Baby.

273
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:46,000
At this point I knew that it was real.

274
00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:48,000
It happened.

275
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:50,000
And I knew I had to move on.

276
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:53,000
Take care of yourself.

277
00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:57,000
You know where I am?

278
00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:07,000
I felt a little bit weird because I didn't want to leave her alone in the house.

279
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:13,000
But it was made easier because her son had decided to move in.

280
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:24,000
My son was laid off and they had no place to go so he and his fiance came to stay.

281
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:25,000
You ready?

282
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:34,000
It felt more comforting to have more people in the house and not be in there by myself.

283
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:37,000
Where is he?

284
00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:41,000
Hello, Baba.

285
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:43,000
Hello.

286
00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:46,000
Come on in.

287
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:47,000
Look at this.

288
00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:53,000
Just remember walking in the first time I was just like, wow, this is a gorgeous house.

289
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:54,000
Do you like it?

290
00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:55,000
Yeah, I do want to come in.

291
00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:56,000
Do you like this place?

292
00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:57,000
I thought it was beautiful.

293
00:30:58,000 --> 00:30:59,000
Very enchanting in a way.

294
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:03,000
Welcome to your new home.

295
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:05,000
What do you think, Baba?

296
00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:07,000
I got along very well with Amy.

297
00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:10,000
I always thought she was very friendly, very warm, very funny.

298
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:11,000
What a drink.

299
00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:13,000
I thought it would be a big happy family.

300
00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:18,000
Baba.

301
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:28,000
Soon after I moved in, we put my son, Baba, down for his morning nap

302
00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:33,000
and two feet away from his crib is his baby monitor on his dresser.

303
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:43,000
I went downstairs into the kitchen and we start making our lunch.

304
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:46,000
Wow, sleeping like a baby.

305
00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:47,000
Nice.

306
00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:48,000
Never heard that.

307
00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:55,000
All of a sudden we hear what sounds like twinkle twinkle little star.

308
00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:02,000
And we're like, what is that?

309
00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:04,000
We don't have any toys in the crib.

310
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:07,000
We don't have anything that could produce that music.

311
00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:09,000
So what is that?

312
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:17,000
Yeah, that's weird.

313
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:25,000
But then it started up again.

314
00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:30,000
What is it?

315
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:37,000
We just kind of look at each other and think maybe it's interference,

316
00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:40,000
but it didn't make any sense that it would be.

317
00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:46,000
No, he's sleeping.

318
00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:49,000
We're thinking it's okay.

319
00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:50,000
He's not crying.

320
00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:51,000
He'll be fine.

321
00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:53,000
You know, nothing's going on.

322
00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:59,000
And all of a sudden we hear my son's nickname, Baba.

323
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:04,000
Within seconds, our son is screaming his head off.

324
00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:10,000
Whatever was up in that room had some intention to scare or harm our son.

325
00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:15,000
I

326
00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:23,000
No, he's sleeping.

327
00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:29,000
All of a sudden we hear Baba.

328
00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:34,000
Whatever was up in that room had some intention to scare or harm our son.

329
00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:45,000
What's happening? What is this?

330
00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:46,500
I felt very frightened.

331
00:33:46,500 --> 00:33:48,500
I was nervous for my son's well-being.

332
00:33:51,500 --> 00:33:54,500
But I didn't have the funds to get another home.

333
00:33:54,500 --> 00:33:56,000
So all we could do at this point

334
00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:58,500
is just make sure this doesn't happen again.

335
00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:04,000
So we grabbed any religious charms we had

336
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:06,500
and either hung them up around his mobile

337
00:34:06,500 --> 00:34:08,500
or hung up around the room

338
00:34:08,500 --> 00:34:11,500
just to keep anything demonic out of that bedroom.

339
00:34:11,500 --> 00:34:14,000
Because at this point, I was highly convinced

340
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:16,000
that there's something in this house.

341
00:34:30,500 --> 00:34:32,500
Soon after the nightmare started...

342
00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:37,500
Bill had this one dream in particular

343
00:34:37,500 --> 00:34:40,500
where his fist was up in the air about ready to hit me.

344
00:34:41,500 --> 00:34:42,500
And I remember going,

345
00:34:42,500 --> 00:34:44,500
Bill, stop!

346
00:34:47,500 --> 00:34:48,500
I'm sorry.

347
00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:51,500
I had one nightmare.

348
00:34:53,500 --> 00:34:56,500
It was the most disturbing nightmare I have ever had.

349
00:35:01,500 --> 00:35:03,500
I was in a low-girl's body.

350
00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:08,500
I'm looking down and I see a white dress.

351
00:35:09,500 --> 00:35:11,500
And I'm afraid to look up.

352
00:35:11,500 --> 00:35:15,500
And every time I peek up, there are adults around.

353
00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:19,000
And they're glaring at me.

354
00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:22,500
And I never felt such terror in my life.

355
00:35:22,500 --> 00:35:26,500
I mean, absolute bone-chilling terror.

356
00:35:30,500 --> 00:35:31,500
One of the adults said,

357
00:35:31,500 --> 00:35:33,500
Go wash your hands!

358
00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:36,000
Next thing I know, I'm in a bathroom.

359
00:35:39,500 --> 00:35:43,500
And a woman says,

360
00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:48,000
And I jump into the wall.

361
00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:55,500
I woke up with crystal clarity.

362
00:35:55,500 --> 00:35:58,500
I knew everything and felt everything.

363
00:35:59,500 --> 00:36:02,500
And that child died that moment.

364
00:36:09,500 --> 00:36:12,500
I was very upset, very angry.

365
00:36:15,500 --> 00:36:19,500
I knew that these dreams had to do with something

366
00:36:20,500 --> 00:36:22,500
that has happened in the house.

367
00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:28,500
I felt definitely this house had secrets.

368
00:36:28,500 --> 00:36:30,500
Absolutely had secrets.

369
00:36:30,500 --> 00:36:32,500
I felt definitely this house had secrets.

370
00:36:38,500 --> 00:36:41,500
More and more, I wanted to get out of the house.

371
00:36:41,500 --> 00:36:44,500
It was getting to be nasty, really nasty in there.

372
00:36:48,500 --> 00:36:52,500
And I was at the American Eagle Saloon one night.

373
00:36:52,500 --> 00:36:55,500
And a friend of mine, Tad, comes out and says,

374
00:36:55,500 --> 00:36:57,500
Hey, Amy, what you looking at there?

375
00:36:58,500 --> 00:37:00,500
Some pictures in my house.

376
00:37:02,500 --> 00:37:05,500
And Tad had been around a long time and he said,

377
00:37:05,500 --> 00:37:07,500
You know about that house you're in, don't you?

378
00:37:08,500 --> 00:37:11,500
And I'm going, huh? What?

379
00:37:11,500 --> 00:37:14,500
He goes, yeah. You know what the house was.

380
00:37:14,500 --> 00:37:16,500
No? What?

381
00:37:16,500 --> 00:37:18,500
It was the men's field training school.

382
00:37:21,500 --> 00:37:22,500
And what was that?

383
00:37:22,500 --> 00:37:24,500
It was a mental asylum.

384
00:37:25,500 --> 00:37:28,500
It all began to make sense.

385
00:37:30,500 --> 00:37:33,500
Now I remember going through the house with the property manager

386
00:37:33,500 --> 00:37:35,500
and seeing the sign.

387
00:37:35,500 --> 00:37:37,500
Mansfield Training School.

388
00:37:37,500 --> 00:37:44,500
The beds, the wheelchairs, all the equipment was from a hospital.

389
00:37:47,500 --> 00:37:50,500
He told me that my house was the superintendent's house.

390
00:37:50,500 --> 00:37:52,500
There were stories of abuse going on.

391
00:37:52,500 --> 00:37:54,500
Patient abuse.

392
00:37:54,500 --> 00:37:56,500
And there were children there, too.

393
00:38:00,500 --> 00:38:02,500
So I started researching.

394
00:38:07,500 --> 00:38:12,500
I found this report dated 1917 at the library.

395
00:38:12,500 --> 00:38:15,500
But at this time, the hospital was not called

396
00:38:15,500 --> 00:38:17,500
the Mansfield Training Center.

397
00:38:17,500 --> 00:38:20,500
It was called the House of Embezzles.

398
00:38:23,500 --> 00:38:29,500
And it incorporated all the negative aspects of that word.

399
00:38:29,500 --> 00:38:31,500
Here, you get a swan.

400
00:38:31,500 --> 00:38:34,500
In the report, they would explain how they considered

401
00:38:34,500 --> 00:38:38,500
certain handicaps to be, like, a very bad thing.

402
00:38:38,500 --> 00:38:41,500
Like, you're a bad person for having Down syndrome.

403
00:38:41,500 --> 00:38:44,500
You're a stupid person for being an epileptic.

404
00:38:45,500 --> 00:38:48,500
They would explain, like, how they would do lobotomies

405
00:38:48,500 --> 00:38:50,500
on the patients, electroshock on the patients.

406
00:38:50,500 --> 00:38:53,500
And I'm thinking to myself, they're really torturing

407
00:38:53,500 --> 00:38:55,500
these poor people.

408
00:38:55,500 --> 00:38:59,500
Now it began to make sense why things are occurring in my house,

409
00:38:59,500 --> 00:39:01,500
why there are disturbances.

410
00:39:04,500 --> 00:39:08,500
Some of the newspaper clippings said that there was abuse going on.

411
00:39:09,500 --> 00:39:11,500
There was a rape in that house.

412
00:39:15,500 --> 00:39:18,500
And a child was also killed there.

413
00:39:20,500 --> 00:39:24,500
What I was dreaming was what happened to a child in that facility.

414
00:39:32,500 --> 00:39:34,500
That's her.

415
00:39:35,500 --> 00:39:39,500
I was horrified. I was horrified. Absolutely horrified.

416
00:39:51,500 --> 00:39:57,500
And the basement had always been a focus of a lot of the activity going on.

417
00:40:00,500 --> 00:40:04,500
And there was a concrete structure in the floor that should not be there.

418
00:40:04,500 --> 00:40:06,500
There's no reason to be there.

419
00:40:07,500 --> 00:40:11,500
And it was time to find out what it was.

420
00:40:20,500 --> 00:40:22,500
I was not going to open it by myself.

421
00:40:22,500 --> 00:40:24,500
I was afraid to see what was in it.

422
00:40:26,500 --> 00:40:28,500
Are you sure?

423
00:40:28,500 --> 00:40:30,500
I am not sure.

424
00:40:30,500 --> 00:40:32,500
I know what I'm talking about.

425
00:40:32,500 --> 00:40:34,500
I'm not sure what I'm talking about.

426
00:40:34,500 --> 00:40:36,500
I'm not sure what I'm talking about.

427
00:40:37,500 --> 00:40:39,500
I am not sure.

428
00:40:39,500 --> 00:40:41,500
I am not sure.

429
00:40:41,500 --> 00:40:43,500
I am not sure.

430
00:40:43,500 --> 00:40:45,300
I was not going to open it by myself.

431
00:40:45,300 --> 00:40:47,300
I was afraid to see what was in it.

432
00:40:47,300 --> 00:40:49,500
You sure?

433
00:40:52,500 --> 00:40:56,500
We used crowbars to lift off the concrete slab.

434
00:40:56,500 --> 00:40:58,500
Oh.

435
00:40:58,500 --> 00:41:00,500
Oh.

436
00:41:00,500 --> 00:41:02,500
Oh.

437
00:41:02,500 --> 00:41:05,500
Initially, it looked like dirt and stone.

438
00:41:05,500 --> 00:41:07,500
Oh.

439
00:41:07,500 --> 00:41:09,500
Oh.

440
00:41:09,500 --> 00:41:11,500
And then looking at it and I'm going,

441
00:41:11,500 --> 00:41:15,500
this looks like pre-made body parts.

442
00:41:19,500 --> 00:41:24,500
I was pretty upset

443
00:41:24,500 --> 00:41:29,500
because I feel they were the remains of that child that was killed there.

444
00:41:42,500 --> 00:41:43,500
13 MP

445
00:41:43,500 --> 00:41:45,500
HERE WELL

446
00:41:45,500 --> 00:41:48,500
THE Gift

447
00:41:48,500 --> 00:41:49,500
THANKS

448
00:41:49,500 --> 00:41:51,340
Spray

449
00:41:53,500 --> 00:41:54,600
THANKS

450
00:41:56,500 --> 00:41:58,500
Sorry, I didn't do it in time.

451
00:41:58,500 --> 00:42:01,500
Sorry, I did it in time.

452
00:42:03,500 --> 00:42:05,500
There'll be times where it's peaceful

453
00:42:05,500 --> 00:42:08,500
and all of a sudden like a light switch being turned on.

454
00:42:08,500 --> 00:42:10,500
You'll hear things, you'll see things.

455
00:42:10,500 --> 00:42:12,000
and you're just thinking to yourself,

456
00:42:12,000 --> 00:42:14,000
oh my gosh, I just want this to end.

457
00:42:14,000 --> 00:42:17,000
Oh, grandma's here.

458
00:42:17,000 --> 00:42:21,000
I feel uncomfortable sometimes.

459
00:42:21,000 --> 00:42:24,000
I feel scared sometimes.

460
00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:28,000
But the way I rationalize it is it's my home,

461
00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:30,000
and I'm staying.

462
00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:36,500
People have said, no, no, you're just making it up.

463
00:42:36,500 --> 00:42:39,000
And I have told them,

464
00:42:39,500 --> 00:42:41,500
come to my house,

465
00:42:41,500 --> 00:42:44,500
spend 12 hours in it, from dusk to dawn.

466
00:42:44,500 --> 00:42:47,500
I can guarantee you will either be touched,

467
00:42:47,500 --> 00:42:50,500
you will have a nightmare, or you will hear something.
