1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:10,000
Would you ever think that rebuilding a home would cause such devastation?

2
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:13,500
I saw what appeared to be a man.

3
00:00:13,500 --> 00:00:16,000
They were coming from inside the walls.

4
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:20,000
There was a lot of pressure going on. I gotta get out of here.

5
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:22,000
They conjured up demons.

6
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:25,000
All this time they had been lurking down there.

7
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:29,000
They're gonna keep hurting me.

8
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:34,000
Stay away from me!

9
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:37,000
It's like the final conflict. For me.

10
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:51,000
Good evening. A burning building turns into a death trap.

11
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:56,000
The blaze in a four-story apartment house trapped the firefighters on the top floor.

12
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:58,000
All six were forced to jump.

13
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:07,000
I'm sad to tell the people of this great city that we have lost two of our bravest today.

14
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:10,000
My husband, Kurt, was a New York City firefighter.

15
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:12,000
I never thought that he wouldn't come home.

16
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:17,000
We just loved being a family. We just had a kind of a plan.

17
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:24,000
This is the way I saw my parents do it, and it just is a natural flow of things.

18
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:26,000
Never thinking.

19
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:28,000
That, uh...

20
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:32,000
Then it all fell apart so quickly.

21
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:40,000
They were faced with the horrifying choice of either jumping from the fourth floor window or being burnt to death.

22
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:48,000
Lieutenant Curtis Myron of Battalion 26 and firefighter John Holt.

23
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:59,000
The first thing I thought of was, how do I tell these children

24
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:02,000
that they'll never see their father again?

25
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:09,000
They were inconsolable. How can I get them through this? They don't have a father.

26
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:14,000
I mean, I don't think you ever really could be prepared, but it definitely hit me really hard.

27
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:20,000
I just remember sitting crying our eyes out. I'll never forget that day.

28
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:28,000
This was a very high-profile tragedy. There were those towers and cameras all over the block.

29
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:33,000
No, I have nothing to say. Just leave us alone.

30
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:38,000
The power-officer from hell. It was terrible. There was no compassion.

31
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:46,000
It was just constant. You know, they wanted pictures. They wanted interviews. They wanted to talk to us.

32
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:48,000
And we just wanted to be left alone.

33
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:55,000
I said, maybe we should try to find some sort of small place that we could maybe escape from this.

34
00:02:55,000 --> 00:03:00,000
Away from the city, away from the cameras, and hopefully to find some peace.

35
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:06,000
We stumbled across a house.

36
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:13,000
The attraction was that it was a big piece of property in Acre-Land, which was actually unheard of on Long Island.

37
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:23,000
I began to see that this may be a way to give them a new life, to wean them from their daddy's place that he built.

38
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:32,000
When we were finally able to move into the house, you know, we brought bags of stuff.

39
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:36,000
We were all very anxious to kind of just get in and get everything where it needed to be.

40
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:39,000
I felt like it was going to be the start of something really good.

41
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:42,000
I was going to get a lot of help in building this new home.

42
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:45,000
My husband's firemen buddies, all chipped in.

43
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:49,000
One in particular was a fireman, my husband's friend, Tom.

44
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:52,000
We have a strong brotherhood of firefighters.

45
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:57,000
There were a lot of members of the fire department that wanted to help Jeanette.

46
00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:01,000
Listen, Jen, just a couple of more weeks and we're done, huh?

47
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:03,000
A couple more weeks.

48
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:10,000
I was determined to make these children have hope and feel better.

49
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:18,000
In your wildest dreams, would you ever think that rebuilding a home would cause such devastation to a family?

50
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:22,000
While the house was being built, it was all open.

51
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:25,000
I was worried about vandalism. I was worried about tools being left up.

52
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:29,000
We put up seven security cameras every corner of the house.

53
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:38,000
The fee from the cameras was patched through to the computer.

54
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:42,000
So the first night doing this, it was a new toy for me.

55
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:45,000
So I tuned in.

56
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:50,000
Now they were in black and white, we really couldn't see much.

57
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:07,000
But right in the middle of frame, I saw what appeared to be a man.

58
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:10,000
It just made no sense.

59
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:15,000
Maybe there's something on the lens or maybe there's something wrong with the camera.

60
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:20,000
I really didn't know what I was looking at.

61
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:36,000
Pretty soon after we moved in, I was laying in my room and I was feeling really restless.

62
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:40,000
And I had a very uneasy feeling.

63
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:47,000
I remember hearing these sounds.

64
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:52,000
They were coming from inside the room.

65
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:56,000
I remember hearing these sounds.

66
00:05:56,000 --> 00:06:00,000
They were coming from inside the room.

67
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:04,000
I remember hearing these sounds.

68
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:08,000
I remember hearing these sounds.

69
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:13,000
They were coming from inside the walls, like thumps or knocking.

70
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:25,000
Hello.

71
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:29,000
It was like someone was knocking on the door like knock back.

72
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:33,000
Hello.

73
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:50,000
The second time I heard it, it was notice me, notice me, notice me.

74
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:04,000
They were coming from inside the walls.

75
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:33,000
I'd make like a little fortress.

76
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:40,000
It didn't feel safe, but it felt good enough that I could just sleep and wake up and it wouldn't be there in the morning.

77
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:45,000
What's up?

78
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:47,000
You two girls look terrible.

79
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:52,000
I asked her the next morning if she was walking around at night or if she was thumping or doing something.

80
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:55,000
I heard it too. It was banging.

81
00:07:55,000 --> 00:08:01,000
I honestly had not heard anything and they were telling me something was banging on the walls.

82
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:03,000
They couldn't describe it.

83
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:06,000
Girls, it's just a new house.

84
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:10,000
I didn't let her know that I was really as scared as I was.

85
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:26,000
When I just said, you know, maybe it's the house settling or maybe it's the plumbing and the heating and the pipes, it's new to us.

86
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:30,000
We have to learn the sounds of the house.

87
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:44,000
I just need to reassure them and calm them down.

88
00:08:44,000 --> 00:09:12,320
I just need to reassure them and calm them down and just give them some sort of peace

89
00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:16,480
of mind that it's nothing to be afraid of.

90
00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:26,320
It was a unique basement to say the least. There was a lot of debris down there.

91
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:40,320
The backyard was huge and to me it was personally just like a playground. It was

92
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:48,320
like my heaven. I thought it was really cool that we had this whole backyard full of all these

93
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:50,720
trees and symbols.

94
00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:57,760
There were bones in my backyard.

95
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:09,120
Me and my sister found this really exciting. We were going to use the symbols that we had found

96
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:12,160
and we were going to draw maps to help us find things.

97
00:10:14,560 --> 00:10:18,480
Well I tried to help Jinnah as much as I can. They already had enough to deal with

98
00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:23,840
with the loss of their husband and father and I had a couple of guys that worked for me and

99
00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:28,960
cleaned out a lot of the stuff from the previous owners and that's when some things were discovered

100
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:30,960
down in the basement.

101
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:47,520
I drew her a map to get to her doll.

102
00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:57,360
Hey no, go right. All she had to do was follow the directions on the map when she would be able

103
00:10:57,360 --> 00:11:00,160
to figure out where her doll was and then if she got it she won't.

104
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:02,160
Go forward.

105
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:09,200
The health?

106
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:13,600
Jinnah, I think you should come down here.

107
00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:25,760
Hi guys. What's up? What's the matter? I just saw the looks on their faces.

108
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:30,560
Jen, we found this under some junk that was on the floor.

109
00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:39,120
The whole thing was exposed. I saw it for the first time.

110
00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:44,720
I don't want the girls to see this.

111
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:55,440
Just get rid of it. Cover it up.

112
00:11:56,560 --> 00:12:01,040
Yeah, we'll concrete the whole thing, Jen. The girls will never even know it was here.

113
00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:05,280
Hey, nobody has to see it. You paint over something, you don't see it anymore.

114
00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:07,760
It's gone. So you think.

115
00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:15,680
There was no reason to say anything to my mom because there were stars on the ground. I

116
00:12:15,680 --> 00:12:17,440
didn't think my mom would really care.

117
00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:32,960
My mom had left me alone in the house. She had given me instructions when she laughed that she

118
00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:39,440
wanted me to clean up. And I just remember feeling like I wasn't alone.

119
00:12:56,720 --> 00:13:00,640
I looked back behind me a couple of times and there was nobody there.

120
00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:08,080
Mom? I couldn't shake this feeling of having somebody watching me and it was really starting to

121
00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:09,440
bother me.

122
00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:49,680
When I came home and walked in the front door, I saw every cabinet, every drawer,

123
00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:55,920
the place looked like it had been ransacked. Everything was open and I didn't see Angela.

124
00:13:57,680 --> 00:14:05,200
Angela? I thought that Angela had a tantrum. Angela. Some kind of fit. I'm

125
00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:06,480
earth for you thinking.

126
00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:13,680
Angela. When I approached her and I saw the look on her face and her eyes. It wasn't me.

127
00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:19,360
There's something in the house. I knew that it was not her.

128
00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:20,160
I just knew it.

129
00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:26,720
Was someone trying to hers? Was someone physically here?

130
00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:37,040
When I went down there, I definitely was uncomfortable.

131
00:14:49,360 --> 00:15:06,000
Hey guys. Tom? Oh, hey Jen. Wanted to show me something? They pulled out these pieces of paper

132
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:07,040
bound together.

133
00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:31,760
I saw 1927. Okay. I know this is when they built the house. The pages seem to be written by the

134
00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:36,480
young girl that was the daughter of someone in this house. I saw the name Christina.

135
00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:45,440
I realized that she was only a few years older than my own daughter. As I read through the pages,

136
00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:53,280
it was an incredibly dark story. She would talk about her father. There were sacrifices. He hurt

137
00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:59,040
me again. Or he hurts the animals. They're bleeding and I believe like they believe.

138
00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:02,400
These people were sick. This is what went on in this house.

139
00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:14,880
But it's mine now. It's going to be fresh and new. No one needs to know and it's over and it's done

140
00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:22,080
with. Oh, hey Jen. Thanks again. I can do it.

141
00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:29,920
Okay, you take care now. Okay. We'll see you soon. Okay. All right boys, let's go.

142
00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:34,080
Thanks everyone.

143
00:16:44,880 --> 00:17:11,280
I thought maybe at first it was the oil burner backfired or something that kind of pressure.

144
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:19,200
It sounded like almost a shot. I felt that it was coming from the cellar, the basement,

145
00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:26,640
because you would feel that impact mostly in the floor and vibrating almost up through the ceiling.

146
00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:36,640
I knew that I had to go see or at least try to find out what it was.

147
00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:40,480
You couldn't just ignore it.

148
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:54,000
I went to the cellar door and I started to head down.

149
00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:24,000
Okay.

150
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:31,840
I felt something evil. I was so frightened.

151
00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:38,640
I did not feel at that point in the wall that there was something when we're plumbing or anything

152
00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:49,200
backfiring. You had a feeling that it was something that was not of this world.

153
00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:49,200
I remember it was very faint and you would think let's try really, really hard to listen and

154
00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:54,960
hear what they're saying. It was a conversation back and forth between two people, very low,

155
00:19:54,960 --> 00:20:01,200
almost secretive. Like they didn't want you to hear what they were saying.

156
00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:05,200
Okay.

157
00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:15,200
Mom? Mom, is that you?

158
00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:21,200
I get this very uneasy feeling that I'm being watched.

159
00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:35,600
I would hear them, you know, use our names.

160
00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:44,240
They started using my sister's name. I heard him tell me that he was...

161
00:20:51,120 --> 00:20:55,200
Sorry.

162
00:20:56,080 --> 00:21:04,400
I'm still getting this creepy feeling that someone's really watching,

163
00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:08,560
focusing, and I look through the frosted glass of the shower door.

164
00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:20,320
I heard this blood curdle.

165
00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:28,960
Mom! At the top of her lungs, over and over again. Mom! Mom! I never heard anything like that in my life.

166
00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:40,560
I remember being more scared, not knowing how to protect her or if I was even going to be able to

167
00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:43,040
get there before they did.

168
00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:49,840
He was going to hurt me. There was no doubt in my mind he was going to hurt me.

169
00:21:59,120 --> 00:22:08,640
No! No! No!

170
00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:22,640
It looked like she was having a seizure. She was that frightened.

171
00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:32,640
It was right there. There was a shower right there.

172
00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:34,640
There's nobody here. There's nobody.

173
00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:35,840
He said I would.

174
00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:37,840
Come on. No. Come on.

175
00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:39,840
Come on. Okay, come on.

176
00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:41,840
Shhh. Shhh. Come on.

177
00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:47,840
I can't just keep on doing it.

178
00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:58,320
You could hear this chanting.

179
00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:05,040
Sounds like a group of people performing a ritual.

180
00:23:07,120 --> 00:23:09,840
It was very scary. You felt trapped.

181
00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:29,840
I said, you just call daddy. Just call daddy. And that's what we did.

182
00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:33,840
Daddy! Daddy!

183
00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:35,840
Daddy! Daddy!

184
00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:43,840
This is a time more than anything that I needed my dad. That I needed him to be there.

185
00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:47,840
And I knew that if he was there, everything would just be fine.

186
00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:57,840
How do you make your baby feel better? How do you protect your children? How can you fight what you can't see?

187
00:23:59,840 --> 00:24:07,840
My husband has a friend, Tony. We talked quite often. They were very close.

188
00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:11,840
If anyone would believe me, it would be Tony.

189
00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:17,840
I remember getting a call from Jeanette after she built the house and there was weird stuff going on.

190
00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:23,840
Her husband, Kurt, was one of my very dear friends. He was a good man.

191
00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:28,840
I explained to him about this circle with this star and trying to explain to him these journals.

192
00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:32,840
So that's when he agreed to go downstairs and have a look at things.

193
00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:38,840
I took him to the door. I said, I'll wait here. I just refused to go down.

194
00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:46,840
I'll go down and see what's down there. She was very frightened at the basement for some reason.

195
00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:52,840
There's very few things I fear besides my father and my dentist. But he just felt like he was being watched.

196
00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:57,840
There was a lot of pressure down there like, I gotta get out of here.

197
00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:26,840
Something will drag my attention to this door.

198
00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:35,840
It's behind the door down here, Jeanette.

199
00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:40,840
It could be wind. It could be something down there.

200
00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:54,840
Shot.

201
00:25:56,840 --> 00:25:59,840
I said, well, time for me to go.

202
00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:07,840
I worked for 24 years as a correction officer and I fear very little. But that basement made me scared.

203
00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:15,840
From that point on, we all felt it was a good idea that we had one person stand guard while one of us showered.

204
00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:21,840
Why didn't I leave the house?

205
00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:29,840
I've invested everything in this house. Time, money, energy, emotions, everything we had.

206
00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:36,840
Define them and they built that with such pride. And I felt like I would be letting them down.

207
00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:45,840
I knew that unless I could find a solution quickly, that we were going to have to leave this house and move out.

208
00:26:56,840 --> 00:27:01,840
The priest knows what to do. The church knows what to do. This is where you find your refuge.

209
00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:10,840
Really, to my surprise, he was in total agreement. The priest came up with how to handle it, how to get rid of it through your faith.

210
00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:16,840
And you must use holy water.

211
00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:21,840
This isn't going to be enough.

212
00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:31,840
He gave me gallons of holy water.

213
00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:46,840
I spent so much time in my room by myself that I wanted to breathe.

214
00:27:52,840 --> 00:28:01,840
I loved being outside on the swing because it took me away from the house.

215
00:28:04,840 --> 00:28:09,840
She became more and more withdrawn. She spent more time alone.

216
00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:17,840
When we five, ten minutes or so, I would look out and just check on her. And it wasn't fully lit back there.

217
00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:22,840
So I decided to look at the cameras in the backyard.

218
00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:39,840
I wasn't going really high. I wasn't going really fast. I just kind of kept a really steady, consistent pace.

219
00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:46,840
Everything seemed to be alright. And she was swinging back and forth, back and forth.

220
00:28:48,840 --> 00:29:13,560
Then I found the power to

221
00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:15,560
I saw these figures.

222
00:29:15,560 --> 00:29:16,560
Oh, Angela.

223
00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:19,560
All of a sudden, I felt this really heavy push.

224
00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:20,560
Ah!

225
00:29:20,560 --> 00:29:21,560
Mom!

226
00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:23,560
I hit the ground really hard.

227
00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:26,560
I remember hearing this horrible pop.

228
00:29:26,560 --> 00:29:28,560
And I knew I broke something.

229
00:29:28,560 --> 00:29:30,560
Somebody help me!

230
00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:31,560
Mom!

231
00:29:31,560 --> 00:29:32,560
Mom!

232
00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:34,560
I'm so sorry.

233
00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:36,560
I'm so sorry.

234
00:29:36,560 --> 00:29:37,560
I'm so sorry.

235
00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:38,560
I'm so sorry.

236
00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:39,560
I'm so sorry.

237
00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:40,560
I'm so sorry.

238
00:29:40,560 --> 00:29:41,560
I'm so sorry.

239
00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:42,560
I'm so sorry.

240
00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:43,560
Help!

241
00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:46,560
Help!

242
00:29:46,560 --> 00:29:47,560
Help!

243
00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:48,560
Help!

244
00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:49,560
Help!

245
00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:50,560
Help!

246
00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:52,560
And here she was crying.

247
00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:55,560
Mom, they hurt me.

248
00:29:55,560 --> 00:29:58,560
They're going to keep hurting me.

249
00:29:58,560 --> 00:30:00,560
We have to leave.

250
00:30:00,560 --> 00:30:04,560
Our ankle was broken in so many places.

251
00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:06,560
Went outside with that holy water.

252
00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:07,560
You're so sorry.

253
00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:10,560
Thank you, all of our out-of-use society bitches.

254
00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:13,560
Take me, but this is not going to happen again.

255
00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:30,560
In the middle, did I realize that the war was about to begin.

256
00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:33,560
Battling for my daughter's life.

257
00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:50,560
Because I broke my foot, I spent a lot more time alone in my room than I even had before this.

258
00:30:50,560 --> 00:30:51,560
Bye, Ange.

259
00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:54,560
I'm just going to pick up your men.

260
00:30:54,560 --> 00:30:59,560
If I had to leave them alone, or had to go somewhere, it was only during the day.

261
00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:03,560
She was incapacitated, so she knew I was there to run errands.

262
00:31:03,560 --> 00:31:04,560
She was safe.

263
00:31:04,560 --> 00:31:06,560
She had everything she needed.

264
00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:08,560
She could reach me by phone.

265
00:31:25,560 --> 00:31:31,560
It was definitely better during the day, but when the sun went down, the house definitely seemed to come more alive.

266
00:31:36,560 --> 00:32:05,560
I started to hear the sound of my closet door shaking back and forth.

267
00:32:05,560 --> 00:32:14,560
Very softly at first, it started to look to me like there was almost somebody standing on the inside of my door trying to come out.

268
00:32:18,560 --> 00:32:21,560
It's like a train wreck when you can't look away.

269
00:32:26,560 --> 00:32:31,560
I saw a black figure that kind of stepped out of my mirror.

270
00:32:31,560 --> 00:32:32,560
Stay away from me!

271
00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:33,560
What could I do?

272
00:32:33,560 --> 00:32:34,560
I couldn't run.

273
00:32:34,560 --> 00:32:35,560
I hear one make it to the door.

274
00:32:35,560 --> 00:32:36,560
Where can I go?

275
00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:40,560
And the only thing that came to mind was to jump underneath my bed.

276
00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:45,560
It smelled like death.

277
00:33:05,560 --> 00:33:10,560
I grabbed the house phone and I brought it with me underneath the bed, and I called my mom.

278
00:33:17,560 --> 00:33:18,560
Hi, honey.

279
00:33:19,560 --> 00:33:20,560
What's the matter?

280
00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:21,560
Mom!

281
00:33:21,560 --> 00:33:22,560
I'm scared to death!

282
00:33:22,560 --> 00:33:23,560
No, I know!

283
00:33:23,560 --> 00:33:24,560
Please help!

284
00:33:24,560 --> 00:33:27,560
You could tell she was frightened beyond belief.

285
00:33:27,560 --> 00:33:29,560
She was so terrified.

286
00:33:29,560 --> 00:33:31,560
I just left everything.

287
00:33:31,560 --> 00:33:33,560
I'm going to be very sick.

288
00:33:34,560 --> 00:33:37,560
And I'm running to the car.

289
00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:43,560
She's trying to tell me that I need to pray and it's going to take her at least 45 minutes to get here.

290
00:33:43,560 --> 00:33:46,560
And I'm thinking to myself, I don't know if I have 45 minutes.

291
00:33:46,560 --> 00:33:47,560
Please come here, please!

292
00:33:47,560 --> 00:33:50,560
I really felt the key that's going to hurt me.

293
00:33:51,560 --> 00:33:52,560
Stay with me!

294
00:33:52,560 --> 00:33:53,560
Just say your prayers!

295
00:33:53,560 --> 00:33:54,560
Mom, really?

296
00:33:54,560 --> 00:33:55,560
Where is it?

297
00:33:55,560 --> 00:33:56,560
Where is it?

298
00:33:56,560 --> 00:33:58,560
I'm going to be open in a minute!

299
00:33:58,560 --> 00:34:00,560
Mom, I'm really, really scared!

300
00:34:00,560 --> 00:34:01,560
Dad!

301
00:34:03,560 --> 00:34:04,560
Mom!

302
00:34:04,560 --> 00:34:05,560
Mommy, he's coming closer!

303
00:34:05,560 --> 00:34:06,560
He's coming!

304
00:34:06,560 --> 00:34:07,560
He's coming!

305
00:34:07,560 --> 00:34:08,560
Mom, what are we doing?

306
00:34:08,560 --> 00:34:09,560
Are you okay?

307
00:34:24,560 --> 00:34:25,560
I think it's a bug!

308
00:34:25,560 --> 00:34:26,560
I don't know what it means!

309
00:34:26,560 --> 00:34:30,560
This growl was like nothing I've ever heard before.

310
00:34:30,560 --> 00:34:32,560
Angela! Angela!

311
00:34:33,560 --> 00:34:41,560
To actually hear it is showing itself, that's what's in my house right now with my children.

312
00:34:56,560 --> 00:35:00,560
I opened the door, nothing I could...

313
00:35:00,560 --> 00:35:01,560
Angela!

314
00:35:01,560 --> 00:35:02,560
Angela!

315
00:35:03,560 --> 00:35:04,560
I heard...

316
00:35:04,560 --> 00:35:05,560
Angela!

317
00:35:05,560 --> 00:35:09,560
I went up slowly and I kept calling her.

318
00:35:09,560 --> 00:35:13,560
Please God, let me not let this not be what I think it is.

319
00:35:15,560 --> 00:35:21,560
And I just pictured her ripped apart by this creature.

320
00:35:22,560 --> 00:35:26,560
I walked in the bedroom door and I didn't see anything.

321
00:35:26,560 --> 00:35:33,560
I heard it was weeping, very faint.

322
00:35:33,560 --> 00:35:35,560
She was so weak.

323
00:35:36,560 --> 00:35:38,560
And I said, I'm here.

324
00:35:40,560 --> 00:35:44,560
And I had to pull her out because she couldn't move.

325
00:35:47,560 --> 00:35:50,560
She was just begging me.

326
00:35:51,560 --> 00:35:53,560
To please make it go away.

327
00:35:53,560 --> 00:35:55,560
It was terrible.

328
00:35:55,560 --> 00:35:57,560
How do you make it go away?

329
00:35:57,560 --> 00:35:59,560
The priest doesn't know.

330
00:35:59,560 --> 00:36:02,560
The holy water is not cutting it anymore.

331
00:36:08,560 --> 00:36:09,560
I worked too hard.

332
00:36:09,560 --> 00:36:11,560
This was for my children.

333
00:36:12,560 --> 00:36:16,560
The money, the time, the energy, they deserve to be happy.

334
00:36:16,560 --> 00:36:18,560
We deserve a life.

335
00:36:19,560 --> 00:36:21,560
This is not right.

336
00:36:21,560 --> 00:36:23,560
We have had enough tragedy.

337
00:36:23,560 --> 00:36:25,560
We've had enough heartache.

338
00:36:27,560 --> 00:36:34,560
That night, I took my kids to my mom's because I did not want them staying in that house anymore.

339
00:36:42,560 --> 00:36:44,560
We were at our wit's end.

340
00:36:44,560 --> 00:36:46,560
We call this paranormal investigator.

341
00:36:46,560 --> 00:36:48,560
They'll hopefully know what to do.

342
00:36:48,560 --> 00:36:50,560
I'm sorry to call so late.

343
00:36:50,560 --> 00:36:52,560
I didn't know where else to turn.

344
00:36:52,560 --> 00:36:56,560
I made the phone call to Liz, the paranormal investigator.

345
00:36:56,560 --> 00:36:59,560
This was like three, four o'clock in the morning.

346
00:36:59,560 --> 00:37:02,560
Jeanette, I spoke with that night for about an hour.

347
00:37:02,560 --> 00:37:04,560
I wanted to help her.

348
00:37:04,560 --> 00:37:10,560
Nobody deserves to live in fear the way Jeanette and the girls did.

349
00:37:10,560 --> 00:37:17,560
They had so much tragedy in their life with their dad and her husband.

350
00:37:17,560 --> 00:37:20,560
And then this thing creeps in and takes over.

351
00:37:23,560 --> 00:37:27,560
I thought the only solution at this point was to do a cleansing and a blessing on the home.

352
00:37:28,560 --> 00:37:31,560
So I called Don Joly Psychic Medium.

353
00:37:35,560 --> 00:37:39,560
It was like a heavy cloud on that whole piece of property.

354
00:37:40,560 --> 00:37:49,560
When Don walked through the door, I could sense she knew instantly where to go, who was there.

355
00:37:50,560 --> 00:37:57,560
She explained that there were cults that conjured up evil spirits called the Pond Demons.

356
00:37:57,560 --> 00:38:01,560
All this time, they had been lurking down there.

357
00:38:02,560 --> 00:38:08,560
The demolition disturbed all the energy and made an opening.

358
00:38:08,560 --> 00:38:10,560
This was theirs.

359
00:38:10,560 --> 00:38:13,560
No one could be on that property but them.

360
00:38:13,560 --> 00:38:15,560
It's released something.

361
00:38:16,560 --> 00:38:18,560
Something terrible.

362
00:38:30,560 --> 00:38:33,560
The idea is to put salt around the perimeter of the house.

363
00:38:33,560 --> 00:38:40,560
It's like a force field. One can't come over, one can't come out.

364
00:38:51,560 --> 00:38:53,560
Don started burning the stage.

365
00:38:55,560 --> 00:38:58,560
It had to end one way or the other.

366
00:38:58,560 --> 00:39:01,560
It was like the final conflict for me.

367
00:39:03,560 --> 00:39:09,560
The tree rust went down into the basement and Don had the sage. It was filling the air.

368
00:39:13,560 --> 00:39:16,560
It was a fight as we were going more and more into the house.

369
00:39:16,560 --> 00:39:19,560
The basement was the center of all the activity.

370
00:39:20,560 --> 00:39:23,560
And it was so intense down there.

371
00:39:24,560 --> 00:39:27,560
The air protection against the wickedness of the...

372
00:39:27,560 --> 00:39:34,560
I just did what I had to do but I have to tell you, I was so frightened.

373
00:39:45,560 --> 00:39:48,560
It was like a battle. I heard chanting, I heard screaming.

374
00:39:53,560 --> 00:39:55,560
I was like, oh, please.

375
00:39:57,560 --> 00:39:59,560
I was like, oh, please.

376
00:40:01,560 --> 00:40:03,560
I was like, oh, please.

377
00:40:05,560 --> 00:40:08,560
The house is the hell, the stage is the home.

378
00:40:08,560 --> 00:40:10,560
The evil spirit.

379
00:40:11,560 --> 00:40:13,560
Come out from this place.

380
00:40:13,560 --> 00:40:15,560
Make a man you can believe.

381
00:40:15,560 --> 00:40:17,560
Jesus.

382
00:40:23,560 --> 00:40:25,560
Jesus.

383
00:40:44,560 --> 00:40:46,560
It burst into flames.

384
00:40:47,560 --> 00:40:51,560
Then as quick as that happened, it stopped.

385
00:40:54,560 --> 00:40:59,560
That part of the house was wicked. It really was.

386
00:41:13,560 --> 00:41:15,560
The blessing actually worked.

387
00:41:19,560 --> 00:41:21,560
We still live in the house.

388
00:41:21,560 --> 00:41:22,560
Good morning.

389
00:41:22,560 --> 00:41:24,560
Is it okay to go outside and play?

390
00:41:24,560 --> 00:41:26,560
Of course it is. Let's all go.

391
00:41:26,560 --> 00:41:27,560
Okay.

392
00:41:28,560 --> 00:41:32,560
It was done. It was over. Everything was going to be fine.

393
00:41:32,560 --> 00:41:35,560
Now I really do like living there.

394
00:41:35,560 --> 00:41:37,560
My house is full of life.

395
00:41:38,560 --> 00:41:40,560
It was a battle one.

396
00:41:40,560 --> 00:41:44,560
It's not an easy thing to just make that decision to stay or to go.

397
00:41:44,560 --> 00:41:48,560
And we are still there but we've learned and we've grown.

398
00:41:48,560 --> 00:41:51,560
It changes you. It changes you forever.

399
00:42:18,560 --> 00:42:20,560
You
