1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,000
I'm a logical thinker.

2
00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:05,000
Paranormal is not something in my vocabulary.

3
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:07,000
Mom, did you say something?

4
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:08,000
No.

5
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:10,000
Is there somebody in my house?

6
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:18,000
I didn't know what it was.

7
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:21,000
There's a secret here. I'm scared.

8
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:25,000
My family is being attacked now.

9
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:26,000
I'm scared.

10
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:27,000
I'm scared.

11
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:28,000
I'm scared.

12
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:30,000
I'm being attacked now.

13
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:34,000
I have to do something.

14
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:37,000
Mom!

15
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:41,000
I wanted to protect my family.

16
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:42,000
Mom!

17
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:44,000
But I didn't know how.

18
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:47,000
Something was dragging it to the window.

19
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:05,000
I was a single mom with two daughters, K.K. and Hailey.

20
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:09,000
Honestly, I wasn't looking for a relationship.

21
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:11,000
It snuck up on me.

22
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:13,000
I met Sergio.

23
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:16,000
We tease each other a lot.

24
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:18,000
We're not going to be friends.

25
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:20,000
We're not going to be friends.

26
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:22,000
We're not going to be friends.

27
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:24,000
We're not going to be friends.

28
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:26,000
We're not going to be friends.

29
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:28,000
We tease each other a lot.

30
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:30,000
They pick on me and I pick on them.

31
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:32,000
It's the bear.

32
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:35,000
It made me feel really good to hang out with the kids

33
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:38,000
and feel like a father figure to them.

34
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:39,000
So, where are we going?

35
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:41,000
He's really funny.

36
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:44,000
He does the craziest things just to make you laugh.

37
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:46,000
I have fun with Sergio.

38
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,000
He's kind of like my best friend.

39
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:50,000
Come on, John. Step on it.

40
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:52,000
Things were going really well.

41
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:54,000
So we started looking to find a place to live.

42
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:55,000
Oh, wow.

43
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:56,000
Oh, sweet home.

44
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:58,000
I instantly fell in love with the house.

45
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:00,000
Instantly, it was beautiful.

46
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:05,000
It couldn't have been any more perfect for our family.

47
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:07,000
One, two, three.

48
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:09,000
Happy family.

49
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:20,000
We had to redecorate the whole entire house.

50
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:23,000
We decided to start painting Hailey's room.

51
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:25,000
We bought this man again.

52
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:26,000
And it's really nice.

53
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:29,000
And I put different, like, clothes and stuff on it.

54
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:32,000
I was excited to make the room my own.

55
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:35,000
And we painted it red and made it my style.

56
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:36,000
It's good.

57
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:38,000
We got to do it together.

58
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:39,000
And it was a family.

59
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:41,000
That's good.

60
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:45,000
Girls don't get old messies.

61
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:47,000
We finished one wall.

62
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:49,000
We finished one wall.

63
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:51,000
We finished one wall.

64
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:53,000
We finished one wall.

65
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:55,000
We decided it was a good time to break for lunch

66
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:57,000
because the paint needed to dry.

67
00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:00,000
And we took the paint can and we hammered the lid down

68
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:03,000
with the hammer to make sure that everything was secure.

69
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:13,000
We were gone, I think, about 45 minutes.

70
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:23,000
I'm sorry.

71
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:42,000
There's paint everywhere.

72
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:53,000
It's all over the walls.

73
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:56,000
It's all over the carpet.

74
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:59,000
I'm a little freaked out.

75
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:01,000
The lid was ripped off.

76
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:04,000
Like, somebody ripped it off and tossed it on the floor.

77
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:08,000
Did you do this?

78
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:11,000
She asked me, did you touch the paint?

79
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:13,000
And I said, no.

80
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:14,000
No, Mom.

81
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:16,000
The children hadn't been in the room.

82
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:19,000
We couldn't make any sense of it at all.

83
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:25,000
I had no logical answer for what happened.

84
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:37,000
So we went to get more paint.

85
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:39,000
Sergio had to go to work.

86
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:42,000
It's getting late and the girls are tired.

87
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:47,000
I go to unlock the door.

88
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:51,000
I try to nudge it open because it's an old house

89
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:54,000
and the door will stick sometimes.

90
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:58,000
I don't understand why it's not opening.

91
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:02,000
So I go and check the back door.

92
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:06,000
But it's not budging either.

93
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:09,000
I call Sergio at work.

94
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:12,000
Hi, Sergio. The door's locked.

95
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:14,000
And he said, well, I'm not going to be home

96
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:16,000
for another three and a half hours.

97
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:18,000
You know, what are you going to do?

98
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:20,000
Girls, get back, please.

99
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:23,000
I have to take drastic measures.

100
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:26,000
And I kick, and I kick, and I kick.

101
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,000
But I finally got the door to open.

102
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:36,000
The bolt was locked from the inside.

103
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:42,000
I'm scared.

104
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:44,000
Is there somebody in my house?

105
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:48,000
I thought about calling the police,

106
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:50,000
but I just kicked the door in.

107
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:51,000
If there's somebody in the house,

108
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:53,000
they're going to be aware I'm there.

109
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:54,000
Girls, wait here.

110
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,000
So I just decided to check it out myself.

111
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:58,000
I started in the kitchen, come through the door,

112
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:00,000
I look around.

113
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:29,000
I grab the first thing I see, which is a pan.

114
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:43,000
I felt very uneasy.

115
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:46,000
I felt just extremely afraid.

116
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:58,000
I'm scared.

117
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:13,000
It's dark in the house.

118
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:15,000
I'm opening doors, looking around corners.

119
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:17,000
My heart is pounding out of my chest.

120
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:19,000
I'm just, I'm scared.

121
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:28,000
I go to the front door.

122
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:36,000
The bolt's locked there, too.

123
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:38,000
I was sick to my stomach.

124
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:40,000
You can't lock it from the outside.

125
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:59,000
And then I hear, behind me,

126
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:02,000
somebody's coming down the steps.

127
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:06,000
I kind of freeze.

128
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:09,000
It sounds very lightweight.

129
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:11,000
It's like a child's footsteps.

130
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:15,000
I don't want to turn around.

131
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:18,000
But I know that I've got to look.

132
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:22,000
I slowly turn around.

133
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:25,000
But there's nobody.

134
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:27,000
There's nothing.

135
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:32,000
I'm thinking old homes make noises.

136
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:34,000
So I just missed it.

137
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:46,000
Thank you.

138
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:50,000
A couple days later, Sergio and Hailey went out to get some drive-through.

139
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:53,000
Me and Mommy were in the living room.

140
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:57,000
I was playing with my toys, and she was on the computer.

141
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:05,000
The TV's off.

142
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:08,000
It's very quiet in our neighborhood at that time of the day.

143
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:23,000
Mom.

144
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:33,000
Mom.

145
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:35,000
I hear mom.

146
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:37,000
It didn't sound like my kid.

147
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:39,000
And I said, KK, did you...

148
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:41,000
Did you see something?

149
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:43,000
No.

150
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:45,000
I asked, did you hear them?

151
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:47,000
She said, what... what did you hear?

152
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:49,000
And I said, a little boy saying, mom.

153
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:51,000
He was right behind me.

154
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:55,000
It just gives me the chills.

155
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:57,000
I heard it clearly.

156
00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:59,000
He was scaring me.

157
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:01,000
He didn't know what it was.

158
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:03,000
It's okay.

159
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:10,000
We looked out the window.

160
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:12,000
No children.

161
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:14,000
There's nothing.

162
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:17,000
I had no explanation for where this voice came from.

163
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:21,000
Mom.

164
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:45,000
Scared us.

165
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:47,000
Her look on her face, she was so startled.

166
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:49,000
Did you say mom?

167
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:51,000
No.

168
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:54,000
Trying to explain something that's unexplainable,

169
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:56,000
it's a very difficult thing to do.

170
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:58,000
We heard a little boy say, mom.

171
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:00,000
Me and Hailey looked at each other like,

172
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:02,000
what are they talking about?

173
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:06,000
He just starts making little jokes about it.

174
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:09,000
Maybe it was your stomach rumbling.

175
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:11,000
We were just kind of like,

176
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:13,000
that's crazy.

177
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:16,000
Hailey!

178
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:18,000
Even though K.K. had heard it too,

179
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:20,000
I didn't know what to do at that point.

180
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:24,000
We just put it back in her heads and moved on.

181
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:34,000
One night I was just taking out the trash.

182
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:39,000
I left the door open.

183
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:46,000
It was cold outside.

184
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:48,000
It was dark.

185
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:56,000
I had kind of an uneasy feeling.

186
00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:00,000
Something felt different.

187
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:16,000
I just looked at the door.

188
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:18,000
I was really scared.

189
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:45,000
I was scared.

190
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:52,000
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang.

191
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:54,000
Mom, mom!

192
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:56,000
And Hailey was screaming, mom, mom, let me in.

193
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:58,000
Lock the door!

194
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:00,000
So I go to the door and I try to open it.

195
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:04,000
It won't open.

196
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:07,000
But then I realized that bolt is locked.

197
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:12,000
I'm in!

198
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:14,000
Where's K.K.?

199
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:17,000
K.K. couldn't have done it because she's too short.

200
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:19,000
It's all the way up there.

201
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:21,000
I left the door wide open.

202
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:24,000
I didn't like that something locked me out of my own house.

203
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:26,000
I didn't like it at all.

204
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:28,000
I was trying to calm her down.

205
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:31,000
But deep down inside, I'm freaking out.

206
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:37,000
The footsteps, the child's voice, the paint, now the door.

207
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:42,000
There's only so much of a blind eye I can turn to these things.

208
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:52,000
It was the next day I was in my room.

209
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:56,000
I had this chest.

210
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:58,000
It had black and white beads on it.

211
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:05,000
I noticed beads were missing.

212
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:08,000
I thought it was my sister because she likes to prank people.

213
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:10,000
I didn't think too much about it.

214
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:33,000
I was watching a movie on my laptop.

215
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:38,000
I heard something.

216
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:40,000
I thought it was weird.

217
00:14:57,000 --> 00:15:01,000
Underneath the bed, there's like a big old hole.

218
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:07,000
And I looked into the hole.

219
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:26,000
I saw a little boy.

220
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:30,000
She's out of breath scared.

221
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:34,000
She says there was a boy under the bed.

222
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:36,000
KK has an imagination, definitely.

223
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:38,000
But I could see in her face.

224
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:40,000
She was very sure of what she's seeing.

225
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:46,000
I see the springs.

226
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:48,000
I don't see anything.

227
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:51,000
But then I looked down and I saw something else.

228
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:01,000
One of Hailey's beads.

229
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:04,000
How did this bead get in this box spring?

230
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:21,000
I'm a light sleeper.

231
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:25,000
And one night I had fallen asleep on the couch.

232
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:34,000
And I hear a sigh.

233
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:36,000
Kind of like...

234
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:43,000
I assumed it might be KK because she gets up a lot, wanting to sleep with mom.

235
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:47,000
I opened my eyes expecting to see KK.

236
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:52,000
I see nobody.

237
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:00,000
There's this boy.

238
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:04,000
I'm not sure if he's asleep.

239
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:09,000
And then he just vanished.

240
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:12,000
My heart felt like it went to my throat.

241
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:14,000
It just scared me so bad.

242
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:19,000
Tonya had a terrified face on her.

243
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:22,000
I'm like, I'm trying to sleep.

244
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:26,000
And she said, no, honey.

245
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:28,000
I was wide awake when I saw him.

246
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:31,000
I kind of brushed it off at that point.

247
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:41,000
I'm a logical thinker.

248
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:44,000
Paranormal is not something in my vocabulary at this time.

249
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:47,000
But I couldn't deny it anymore.

250
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:49,000
There's a ghost of a boy in my home.

251
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:56,000
Why is he here?

252
00:17:57,000 --> 00:18:01,000
If it was my child, I would want somebody to help my child.

253
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:07,000
So the next day I contacted a local paranormal team.

254
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:12,000
Hi. This sounds kind of silly, but I've seen a ghost.

255
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:16,000
They recommended that I purchase some recording equipment.

256
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:17,000
Okay.

257
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:20,000
And try to communicate and ask questions.

258
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:22,000
Okay. Thank you.

259
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:30,000
Tonya got really into it.

260
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:32,000
I didn't think anything would happen.

261
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:35,000
But I was kind of curious on what was going on.

262
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:40,000
We turned everything off.

263
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:44,000
Fans, air conditioning, turned the lights out.

264
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:46,000
I turned the recorder on.

265
00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:57,000
I felt really awkward being in there.

266
00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:01,000
I'm a little nervous.

267
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:03,000
I'm a little nervous.

268
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:05,000
I'm a little nervous.

269
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:07,000
I'm a little nervous.

270
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:09,000
I'm a little nervous.

271
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:11,000
I'm a little nervous.

272
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:14,000
I'm a little nervous.

273
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:20,000
We were listening. It was really quiet.

274
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:34,000
I couldn't believe it.

275
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:36,000
The microphone was pushed right off onto the floor.

276
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:39,000
And I asked, was that you?

277
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:41,000
You got knocked the microphone over?

278
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:48,000
Who are you?

279
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:49,000
Why are you here?

280
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:50,000
How old are you?

281
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:52,000
What's your name?

282
00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:57,000
We couldn't hear anything.

283
00:19:57,000 --> 00:20:00,000
I think we should get some sleep.

284
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:03,000
We didn't think we got anything to be honest.

285
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:05,000
I wasn't even sure I was recording.

286
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:21,000
Later that night, I played it back.

287
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:23,000
I couldn't hear anything.

288
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:50,000
I heard the microphone get knocked over.

289
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:53,000
Was that a use of that knock the microphone over?

290
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:56,000
I heard my voice asking questions.

291
00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:58,000
Who are you?

292
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:01,000
There's nothing.

293
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:08,000
And I was to the point where I thought,

294
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:10,000
I'm not going to hear anything.

295
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:12,000
OK.

296
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:22,000
There is a boy going, mom, mom.

297
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:26,000
Like he's trying to get my attention.

298
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:31,000
I'm just in shock.

299
00:21:40,000 --> 00:22:02,000
I felt all the hairs on my neck stand up.

300
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:07,000
I'm sorry.

301
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:08,000
I'm sorry.

302
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:10,000
You're in the middle of this.

303
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:17,000
Tommy and I said, well, babe, this is the same voice that I heard before of that little

304
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:19,000
boy saying, mom.

305
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:23,000
Something, where's going on in this house?

306
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:31,000
I looked at her like, okay, sweetie, I believe you.

307
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:34,000
How are you here?

308
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:37,000
We continued listening.

309
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:39,000
How old are you?

310
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:44,000
And on the question when I asked, what's your name?

311
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:48,000
Two.

312
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:58,000
I hear Joseph.

313
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:07,000
Once I had the name, I started researching and trying to find out who Joseph was.

314
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:11,000
At the library, I found old maps.

315
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:14,000
The city was divided up into block sections.

316
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:21,000
In the section that I lived in, the whole block was called Lynchville.

317
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:25,000
And then I discovered some old land records.

318
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:32,000
The man that owned my property, his name was J.W. Lynch.

319
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:36,000
I wanted to find out who J.W. Lynch she was.

320
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:39,000
I went as far as I could with the library.

321
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:45,000
But I wanted to know what connection he had to this little boy, Joseph.

322
00:23:45,000 --> 00:24:12,000
I couldn't sleep.

323
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:18,000
And all of a sudden, it just gets hot, hot, hot in the living room.

324
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:27,000
And I'm sweating.

325
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:29,000
I went and checked the AC.

326
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:31,000
Maybe it got flipped to heat by accident.

327
00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:32,000
It's on AC.

328
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:37,000
The air conditioner's going.

329
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:40,000
Then it got worse.

330
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:45,000
It was so hot in there, it felt like there was like a bonfire in the middle of the living room.

331
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:58,000
It was just excruciating hot.

332
00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:03,000
I feel this pain on my side and it burned horribly.

333
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:05,000
And I raised my shirt.

334
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:08,000
There's nothing there.

335
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:17,000
It felt like something burned me.

336
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:23,000
And then I hear talking coming from upstairs.

337
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:28,000
It sounds like men carrying on a conversation.

338
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:31,000
I hit record on the recorder.

339
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:44,000
I quietly sneak over to the end of the stairs.

340
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:53,000
I have to go upstairs.

341
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:55,000
Everything's dark.

342
00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:59,000
I'm scared to have to death, but I have to check it.

343
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:28,000
I don't know what I was thinking.

344
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:36,000
I don't know what I was thinking I would see.

345
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:43,000
But I don't see anything.

346
00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:47,000
I play it back.

347
00:26:47,000 --> 00:27:01,000
I heard my footsteps.

348
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:04,000
The little girl's mom is looking.

349
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:08,000
Obviously they're talking about me.

350
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:16,000
We can't see them, but they can see us.

351
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:19,000
And then horrible things started coming across the screen.

352
00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:24,000
Letters over and over and over again.

353
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:28,000
I tried to stop it, but it wasn't stopping.

354
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:32,000
I'm hitting the button.

355
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:45,000
It's not stopping.

356
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:55,000
It just goes flying across the room.

357
00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:58,000
I guess mom is looking.

358
00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:00,000
I'm not looking.

359
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:03,000
I'm just looking.

360
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:05,000
I'm just looking.

361
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:08,000
I'm just looking.

362
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:10,000
I'm just looking.

363
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:16,000
I'm just looking.

364
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:21,000
I just lose everything that I had saved to the computer.

365
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:23,000
All these recordings that we had gotten.

366
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:28,000
All these recordings I had saved.

367
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:32,000
The smoke detector starts to go off.

368
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:34,000
I'm looking around.

369
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:35,000
There's no smoke.

370
00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:37,000
There's no fire.

371
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:41,000
And then the other smoke detector goes off.

372
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:47,000
It's just going crazy.

373
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:50,000
I found my wife's a smoke alarm going off.

374
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:52,000
I looked around the house.

375
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:57,000
No fire, no smoke, no nothing was going on.

376
00:28:57,000 --> 00:29:10,000
So I pulled the bat and went out.

377
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:12,000
Tanya was really upset.

378
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:14,000
I was trying to calm her down.

379
00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:18,000
Something threw my laptop.

380
00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:23,000
I was kind of worried too because it was actually getting physical.

381
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:33,000
Somebody's going to get hurt.

382
00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:39,000
I just lay awake and all these thoughts go through my head.

383
00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:42,000
We have a little boy, Joseph.

384
00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:45,000
And now with the growly recording and the male voice.

385
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:48,000
Who is the second ghost?

386
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:51,000
Is this man J.W. Lynch maybe?

387
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:54,000
Why is he erasing my recordings?

388
00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:59,000
Why is he shutting down my computer?

389
00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:00,000
There's a secret here.

390
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:08,000
I was determined to find more answers.

391
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:16,000
I found a local historian in the area.

392
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:19,000
I'm just interested in this city.

393
00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:22,000
She gave me a lot of information.

394
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:25,000
Ponca City was founded in 1893.

395
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:27,000
It was a frontier town.

396
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:30,000
Ponca City back then was the wild west.

397
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:35,000
J.W. Lynch was one of the founding fathers of Ponca City.

398
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:38,000
He was the man that had owned my property.

399
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:40,000
J.W. Lynch was a very rich and powerful man.

400
00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:43,000
He was actually the mayor.

401
00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:45,000
He looked kind of mean in his pictures.

402
00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:47,000
He was not smiling.

403
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:49,000
He was quite a tough customer.

404
00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:51,000
It was his way or the highway.

405
00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:54,000
You didn't sway from J.W. Lynch's way.

406
00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:56,000
That's the kind of man he was.

407
00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:58,000
Did he have any children?

408
00:30:58,000 --> 00:30:59,000
Yes, he did.

409
00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:01,000
The historian told me J.W. Lynch had two sons.

410
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:04,000
The first son, we have a record of his life.

411
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:06,000
He was in the military.

412
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:08,000
The youngest son.

413
00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:10,000
There's information that he was born.

414
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:11,000
He's in the census.

415
00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:13,000
But after 1910...

416
00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:16,000
When he would have been roughly about five years old.

417
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:18,000
We don't have any information on him.

418
00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:20,000
There's nothing.

419
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:23,000
He drops off the face of the earth.

420
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:25,000
Then she told me something incredible.

421
00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:27,000
One of his sons...

422
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:29,000
His name is Joseph.

423
00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:32,000
Joseph.

424
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:34,000
Light bulbs just started to go off.

425
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:36,000
I'm thinking, that's it.

426
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:38,000
That's the name I got on recording.

427
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:40,000
What happened to this boy?

428
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:42,000
Did he die in my home?

429
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:55,000
It was late at night.

430
00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:57,000
I was laying in my bed.

431
00:31:57,000 --> 00:32:00,000
And I was almost asleep.

432
00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:06,000
The house felt different.

433
00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:15,000
It was a creaky noise.

434
00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:23,000
The door of the closet was slowly opening.

435
00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:28,000
And I was just staring at it.

436
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:34,000
I could see fingers.

437
00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:37,000
It was opening it really slowly.

438
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:44,000
It was just staring at me.

439
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:48,000
Mom!

440
00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:50,000
Mom!

441
00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:52,000
What's wrong with her?

442
00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:54,000
She's just in shock.

443
00:32:57,000 --> 00:32:59,000
I'm trying to calm her down.

444
00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:01,000
There's a man.

445
00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:04,000
You know, peeping in my daughter's room or something.

446
00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:33,000
I look, there's nothing.

447
00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:36,000
There's nothing here.

448
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:44,000
It's not cool when things like this happen in your own home.

449
00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:48,000
It's really scary.

450
00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:50,000
I'm not sleeping here.

451
00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:55,000
It's a healing week.

452
00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:58,000
It's like someone picked up the water bottle and threw it.

453
00:33:58,000 --> 00:34:01,000
It slams into the wall just right by her head.

454
00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:04,000
I felt like something was trying to be intentionally vindictive.

455
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:06,000
I didn't like it.

456
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:12,000
And I felt like I was unable to protect my daughter.

457
00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:31,000
The door of the closet was slowly opening.

458
00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:33,000
I was just staring at it.

I'm like, Oh, oh, damn it, KK.

474

I'm thinking, you know, KK is smacking me in my head

to wake me up.

476
00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:23,000
I saw a figure of a man.

477
00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:26,000
I was frightened, felt really scared.

478
00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:29,000
And he was gone.

479
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:32,000
If he can hurt me like that,

480
00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:35,000
he can hurt somebody else in the house.

It didn't make any sense to me at all.

None of them had the batteries in it.

Her legs were barely on the floor.
