1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:20,000
It was kind of our last year of freedom and fun before the rest of our lives began.

2
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:24,000
Hey, did you come up to my room last night?

3
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:26,840
Something in my room completely changed.

4
00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:28,840
It gave me this creepy feeling.

5
00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:30,840
Like, I was being watched.

6
00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:32,840
I was becoming so paranoid.

7
00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:34,840
It was overwhelming.

8
00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:37,840
And I kept saying, stop watching the horror movies.

9
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:45,840
I'd had the sense that you stayed with me tonight.

10
00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:46,840
I wasn't alone.

11
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:53,840
I'm right as it is.

12
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:55,840
Wendy!

13
00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:00,840
It wasn't my roommates. It wasn't me.

14
00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:02,840
There was something in the house.

15
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:10,840
It's just a dream.

16
00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:30,840
It was fall of 2004, and I was heading into my final year of art school.

17
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:34,840
I'm an artist. I love color, obviously, my hair.

18
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:38,840
I was really looking forward to still having some parties and fun times.

19
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:41,840
Not having to worry about life stuff.

20
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:55,840
Hey!

21
00:01:57,840 --> 00:01:58,840
Hey, honey.

22
00:01:58,840 --> 00:01:59,840
So easy.

23
00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:00,840
Lindsay and I knew each other in high school.

24
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:01,840
How was your day?

25
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:02,840
Not bad.

26
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:04,840
Lindsay was a life of the party.

27
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:10,840
She influenced us, you know, with that and helped me develop who I was, you know, just by being her friend.

28
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:12,840
And she was just a blast.

29
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:14,840
Reba, you know, I loved her.

30
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:19,840
No matter what time of day it was, if you had a problem and you needed to talk, you know, she would sit down with you.

31
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:20,840
Where's Amber?

32
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:21,840
We met Amber in the dorm.

33
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:24,840
We just became best friends, all three of us.

34
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:26,840
The three of us got along great.

35
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:28,840
It's okay. We haven't been waiting long.

36
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:30,840
We enjoyed spending a lot of time together.

37
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:32,840
We always had fun.

38
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:33,840
Don't ask.

39
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:36,840
From the moment we met Amber, we just loved her.

40
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:40,840
You know, she was just such a fun person to be around.

41
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:46,840
We are three completely different people, but we were kind of like the three musketeers.

42
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:47,840
Okay, Migos.

43
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:50,840
Today, we nailed this, okay?

44
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:53,840
I like this one.

45
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:56,840
It was very difficult to find a three bedroom place.

46
00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:57,840
That's a no.

47
00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:02,840
We really went back and forth. We were, you know, coming up with ideas and none of them seemed to work.

48
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:03,840
I'm not doing that one.

49
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:08,840
We just kind of pounded the pavement and it was starting to look pretty bleak.

50
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:11,840
Like, okay, maybe we're not going to have this work out.

51
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:12,840
Oh, hi.

52
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:13,840
Hi.

53
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:14,840
Welcome.

54
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:15,840
Nice to meet you.

55
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:16,840
I'm Rebecca.

56
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:18,840
Finally, we ended up at the realty office in camp.

57
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:19,840
You as well.

58
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:20,840
Have a seat, ladies.

59
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:21,840
First thing she said was,

60
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:24,840
These have all been rented already.

61
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:27,840
My heart just sunk and I thought, are you kidding me?

62
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:29,840
I'm just a little too late.

63
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:32,840
How can there not be three bedrooms? This seems crazy.

64
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:35,840
Um, actually, I may have one.

65
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:36,840
Hang on one second.

66
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:40,840
She opened a drawer and she pulled out a folder.

67
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:41,840
Okay.

68
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:43,840
And she flipped it open.

69
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:47,840
And the first thing she said was, this could work.

70
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:49,840
It is a three bedroom house.

71
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:51,840
The house itself was beautiful.

72
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:52,840
It looks great.

73
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:57,840
Any three girls in a college town, I mean, that's the kind of house you want.

74
00:03:57,840 --> 00:03:58,840
I like it.

75
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:00,840
It looked perfect on paper.

76
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:06,840
You know, it had everything that we wanted and we really couldn't understand why she wouldn't offer this up from the get-go.

77
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:10,840
Actually, I'm not sure it's a perfect match for you.

78
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:12,840
Um, why was she being so negative?

79
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:14,840
Why didn't she think this would work out?

80
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:15,840
What's wrong?

81
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:19,840
And she said, you know, they had head issues with tenants in the past.

82
00:04:20,840 --> 00:04:23,840
Well, we're good people.

83
00:04:23,840 --> 00:04:24,840
Yeah.

84
00:04:24,840 --> 00:04:25,840
Okay.

85
00:04:25,840 --> 00:04:28,840
Okay, I'll talk to the landlord.

86
00:04:28,840 --> 00:04:29,840
Thank you.

87
00:04:32,840 --> 00:04:33,840
Is this your bed?

88
00:04:33,840 --> 00:04:35,840
Yeah, you just put it on the ground.

89
00:04:35,840 --> 00:04:36,840
Oh my God.

90
00:04:36,840 --> 00:04:37,840
So we got the keys.

91
00:04:37,840 --> 00:04:40,840
We were extremely excited to move in.

92
00:04:40,840 --> 00:04:42,840
We really thought we got a great deal.

93
00:04:42,840 --> 00:04:46,840
We're excited that we were able to find a place together.

94
00:04:46,840 --> 00:04:49,840
It just seemed like the perfect house.

95
00:04:58,840 --> 00:04:59,840
Hey.

96
00:04:59,840 --> 00:05:00,840
Hey.

97
00:05:02,840 --> 00:05:03,840
How you liking it?

98
00:05:03,840 --> 00:05:05,840
Oh, it's great, right?

99
00:05:16,840 --> 00:05:20,840
My boyfriend Adam was a big help in moving us in.

100
00:05:20,840 --> 00:05:23,840
We'd been dating for a year.

101
00:05:23,840 --> 00:05:26,840
We just got along and it was a very easy thing.

102
00:05:26,840 --> 00:05:30,840
She made me laugh and she was always joking.

103
00:05:30,840 --> 00:05:32,840
Don't I deserve a kiss for helping you move in?

104
00:05:32,840 --> 00:05:33,840
Later.

105
00:05:33,840 --> 00:05:37,840
I don't know how she managed it, but somehow Lindsay got the best room in this house.

106
00:05:37,840 --> 00:05:43,840
After unloading stuff in my bedroom and I shut my bedroom door, I don't know something odd.

107
00:05:44,840 --> 00:05:48,840
There were two dead bolts on my bedroom door.

108
00:05:48,840 --> 00:05:49,840
Come check this out.

109
00:05:49,840 --> 00:05:55,840
Not just a little lock. Two large, large deadbolt locks. One, two.

110
00:05:56,840 --> 00:06:01,840
Two dead bolts on the back of the door and you would think maybe it's a college place.

111
00:06:01,840 --> 00:06:06,840
You live with some shady roommates and they might be taking stuff so you want to have that privacy.

112
00:06:06,840 --> 00:06:08,840
In this case, the lock wasn't on the other side.

113
00:06:08,840 --> 00:06:10,840
It was on the inside.

114
00:06:10,840 --> 00:06:20,840
And it was very odd to me as if, you know, somebody was trying to keep themselves locked in or something locked out.

115
00:06:40,840 --> 00:06:45,840
It had been a long day, you know, we were pretty exhausted and we went to bed.

116
00:06:59,840 --> 00:07:02,840
All of a sudden the room was really cold.

117
00:07:03,840 --> 00:07:07,840
You could feel a breeze blowing past your face.

118
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:12,840
What's up?

119
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:17,840
The fan turned on.

120
00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:31,840
I rubbed my eyes, clicked off the light and we went back to sleep.

121
00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:42,840
The doorbell rings.

122
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:54,840
Click, click, click, click.

123
00:07:56,840 --> 00:07:58,840
You could hear the fan blade again.

124
00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:01,840
As soon as she flipped the switch,

125
00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:08,840
it stopped.

126
00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:13,840
This is ridiculous, right? So I got out of bed.

127
00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:19,840
You just stopped.

128
00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:21,840
Dendrit's tracks.

129
00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:24,840
We were standing there looking towards the floor.

130
00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:31,840
The plug is laying right there on the floor.

131
00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:43,840
It's not plugged in and yet we heard it and we felt it.

132
00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:52,840
We heard the door.

133
00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:57,840
The door was literally moving, shaking.

134
00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:00,840
I had called out Rebecca.

135
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:04,840
Amber.

136
00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:15,840
Hello?

137
00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:18,840
And it was still moving.

138
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:22,840
Hello?

139
00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:26,840
I like somebody trying to come in.

140
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:33,840
Rebecca?

141
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:37,840
Amber?

142
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:53,840
Rebecca?

143
00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:55,840
Amber?

144
00:09:59,840 --> 00:10:02,840
As soon as I go to put my hand on the door,

145
00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:08,840
it stopped.

146
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:12,840
Just stop moving.

147
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:15,840
Madam opened the door.

148
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:16,840
Hello?

149
00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:18,840
I'm sorry.

150
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:20,840
Madam opened the door.

151
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:21,840
Hello?

152
00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:27,840
Hello?

153
00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:31,840
Nothing.

154
00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:33,840
There's nobody there.

155
00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:37,840
There was no way that somebody could come up those stairs

156
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:39,840
or go down them without you hearing them.

157
00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:43,840
And I couldn't understand that.

158
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:44,840
You know what?

159
00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:45,840
This is just something odd.

160
00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:46,840
Don't worry about it.

161
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:49,840
We were exhausted.

162
00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:52,840
We were tired and we didn't give it any more thought than that.

163
00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:02,840
I was sitting at my desk.

164
00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:03,840
I needed to write a paper.

165
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:05,840
It was due in the next few days.

166
00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:09,840
I took my studies very seriously and I worked really hard.

167
00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:12,840
All of a sudden, I heard this loud pounding sound

168
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:14,840
and it was like, thump, thump, thump, thump.

169
00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:20,840
I really had no clue what it was.

170
00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:29,840
I was so nervous.

171
00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:31,840
I was so nervous.

172
00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:32,840
I was so nervous.

173
00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:34,840
I was so nervous.

174
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:36,840
I was so nervous.

175
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:37,840
I was so nervous.

176
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:41,840
It sounded like somebody going up and down the stairs.

177
00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:42,840
Guys, come on!

178
00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:46,840
I just thought, oh, it's Adam and Lindsay.

179
00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:48,840
It was really close.

180
00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:51,840
Adam and Lindsay, the stairs are going to...

181
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:56,840
Nobody was there.

182
00:11:58,840 --> 00:11:59,840
Lindsay, is that you?

183
00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:05,840
I felt like they were playing a joke on me.

184
00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:06,840
Adam?

185
00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:16,840
I just thought they were totally stunned, like,

186
00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:18,840
okay, what am I missing here?

187
00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:19,840
Did somebody run off?

188
00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:30,840
I thought it had to be Lindsay and Adam,

189
00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:31,840
or one of two of them,

190
00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:34,840
because they were the only ones that would go up that staircase.

191
00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:37,840
I was so tired.

192
00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:39,840
I had finally gotten to sleep.

193
00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:56,840
It seemed as quickly as I had fallen back asleep.

194
00:12:57,840 --> 00:12:59,840
I realized I'm streaming.

195
00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:08,840
I couldn't move my arms.

196
00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:11,840
Couldn't move my legs.

197
00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:14,840
I was pinned.

198
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:23,840
I want to scream.

199
00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:25,840
I want to scream at the top of my lungs.

200
00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:27,840
Help me.

201
00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:29,840
But I can't...

202
00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:30,840
I can't...

203
00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:34,840
In the shadows.

204
00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:37,840
I can see a figure.

205
00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:57,840
She was shaking.

206
00:13:57,840 --> 00:13:58,840
It's okay.

207
00:13:58,840 --> 00:13:59,840
She was just beside herself.

208
00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:00,840
Everything's okay.

209
00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:03,840
I realized it had only been a dream,

210
00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:06,840
but my heart was still pounding.

211
00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:09,840
I was covered in sweat, my hair was wet.

212
00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:13,840
I was just trying to kind of bring her back down.

213
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:18,840
That feeling that something was in the room in my dream

214
00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:20,840
was actually still with me in my bedroom.

215
00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:22,840
It was so scary.

216
00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:24,840
And I was terrified to look around.

217
00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:27,840
It felt real.

218
00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:30,840
I was just trying to get her back down.

219
00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:32,840
I was just trying to get her back down.

220
00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:39,840
One afternoon I was taking a nap.

221
00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:42,840
Turned over and was facing the wall.

222
00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:48,840
You know how you can tell when somebody is there?

223
00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:55,840
I slowly opened my eyes.

224
00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:03,840
There was a giant black spider

225
00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:08,840
right next to my bed.

226
00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:14,840
I was totally terrified.

227
00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:17,840
It gave me this creepy feeling.

228
00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:19,840
Like I was being watched.

229
00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:21,840
Like something was watching me through it.

230
00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:32,840
It had a silver diamond down the back.

231
00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:47,840
It just went straight down my wall.

232
00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:50,840
Faster than anything I've ever seen move.

233
00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:52,840
So I jumped out of bed.

234
00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:53,840
I tore the sheets off.

235
00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:55,840
I was tearing my room apart.

236
00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:00,840
I combed through my whole room.

237
00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:01,840
I had to get rid of it.

238
00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:03,840
And I couldn't find it.

239
00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:12,840
I was so spooked by this that I had to figure out

240
00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:13,840
what this thing was.

241
00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:15,840
You know, I should be able to find this in a book.

242
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:18,840
So I went to the library.

243
00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:20,840
Got a bunch of spider books out.

244
00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:21,840
Looked through all the pictures.

245
00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:23,840
And I couldn't find anything that looked like that.

246
00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:26,840
Not in Ohio, not in any other state.

247
00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:28,840
Anything that was the right size or the right color.

248
00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:31,840
I went back to the house.

249
00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:33,840
Nobody that I knew of was up.

250
00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:38,840
I heard it again.

251
00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:39,840
Thump, thump, thump.

252
00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:46,840
I heard it again.

253
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:47,840
Thump, thump, thump.

254
00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:48,840
I heard it again.

255
00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:49,840
Thump, thump, thump.

256
00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:53,840
And then I heard the cackling laugh.

257
00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:08,840
I, I thought for sure it was Lindsay playing a joke on me.

258
00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:26,840
I was really upset because, you know, she was my oldest friend.

259
00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:29,840
And now all of a sudden she's behaving like this.

260
00:17:51,840 --> 00:18:02,840
Reba came out of her room and just said,

261
00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:04,840
So what was going on last night, guys?

262
00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:05,840
Pardon?

263
00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:08,840
You know, you guys are just so disrespectful.

264
00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:12,840
The noise all night from 1 a.m. to 4 a.m. and the night before.

265
00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:14,840
Hey, you using her anything?

266
00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:20,840
She starts just kind of yelling.

267
00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:23,840
You know, I have a big test today and I haven't slept in two nights now.

268
00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:25,840
Rebecca, I have no idea what you're talking about.

269
00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:28,840
Running up and down the stairs all night.

270
00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:30,840
Rebecca, I wasn't even here last night.

271
00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:34,840
Lindsay looked genuinely puzzled.

272
00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:36,840
Her face kind of said it all.

273
00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:39,840
But still, you know, in the back of my mind,

274
00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:42,840
I kind of built it up, you know, as it's got to be them.

275
00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:45,840
So I'm the only one that heard this.

276
00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:47,840
They're pretty much all staring at me at this point,

277
00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:49,840
looking at me like I'm totally nuts.

278
00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:52,840
Yeah, right.

279
00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:58,840
It was very out of character for Riva to kind of be that confrontational.

280
00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:01,840
Somebody has been working too hard.

281
00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:08,840
I really felt like I was on my own at that point.

282
00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:12,840
I shut myself off, you know, didn't really talk to anybody.

283
00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:14,840
Didn't trust them.

284
00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:18,840
And for them to not take me seriously, at least that's what I felt

285
00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:23,840
when I told them these things, it really hurt my feelings quite a bit.

286
00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:26,840
All of a sudden we move into this place and it's like, poof, it's just like,

287
00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:28,840
everything's different.

288
00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:34,840
Like, oh, they must be, you know, trying to play a trick or whatever on me.

289
00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:36,840
Why would I think that of her?

290
00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:38,840
Something was driving me to think that way.

291
00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:42,840
And I really think that it was something in the house.

292
00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:47,840
Rebecca started to become very distant.

293
00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:49,840
She didn't socialize anymore.

294
00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:51,840
She wasn't part of the group.

295
00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:53,840
She was not normal Riva.

296
00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:01,840
It come to a point we weren't even speaking anymore.

297
00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:05,840
These are a group of girls who were extremely close.

298
00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:08,840
And now they're extremely distant.

299
00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:12,840
Rebecca was the first to move out.

300
00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:14,840
It was sad.

301
00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:17,840
The house that was supposed to bring us so much joy and bring us together

302
00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:21,840
and be the best year of our college was tearing us apart.

303
00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:42,840
I was just so tired. I was so exhausted.

304
00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:52,840
The minute I put my head on the pillow, I fell asleep.

305
00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:10,840
I woke up.

306
00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:17,840
I woke up.

307
00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:27,840
My television had turned on full volume to just static.

308
00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:42,840
Static was just shaking, rattling my room.

309
00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:44,840
It was so loud.

310
00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:01,840
And I walked back to bed.

311
00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:10,840
Suddenly, this horrific sound...

312
00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:21,840
I was being sucked into the darkness back into the nightmare.

313
00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:30,840
I was being sucked into the nightmare.

314
00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:38,840
Sometimes you're in a dream.

315
00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:40,840
You can talk yourself out.

316
00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:42,840
There was no way out.

317
00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:53,840
In the shadows, it was a woman.

318
00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:57,840
She's coming towards me.

319
00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:12,840
I did not want to see her face.

320
00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:30,840
Her hair was covering me.

321
00:23:54,840 --> 00:24:00,840
It was visceral. It was tactile.

322
00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:04,840
I could feel the tension and I could feel the fear.

323
00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:09,840
And I was so terrified that what had just happened in a dream

324
00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:12,840
was about to happen to me for real.

325
00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:19,840
She was so scared.

326
00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:22,840
And she needed someone to confide in.

327
00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:24,840
Adam wasn't there.

328
00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:28,840
And I still couldn't figure out why she was so scared.

329
00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:31,840
I feel like I'm losing my mind to Amber.

330
00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:34,840
Every time I go to sleep, I see her.

331
00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:36,840
I just kept telling her...

332
00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:38,840
I've got to calm down.

333
00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:40,840
Lindsay, I'm sure it's just your imagination.

334
00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:43,840
Lindsay, there's really nothing going on.

335
00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:46,840
You have to stop scaring yourself.

336
00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:48,840
It's just a dream.

337
00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:51,840
I kept trying to reassure her.

338
00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:53,840
I'm like, you know, this isn't happening.

339
00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:55,840
I'm not seeing this.

340
00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:58,840
There's no logical reason for any of this stuff to be bothering you.

341
00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:00,840
Can you stay with me tonight?

342
00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:20,840
One night, the girls are all at class.

343
00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:22,840
And I had the place to myself.

344
00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:24,840
I was looking forward to it, just having a night,

345
00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:26,840
having control of the TV for once.

346
00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:42,840
For some reason, I just... I didn't feel comfortable.

347
00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:47,840
I could feel the kind of the air pressure around me,

348
00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:49,840
kind of building and building and building.

349
00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:53,840
I'm a college guy, right?

350
00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:56,840
I'm a young dude. It's supposed to be masculine.

351
00:25:56,840 --> 00:25:58,840
I was becoming, like, so paranoid.

352
00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:00,840
It was overwhelming.

353
00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:02,840
Why am I feeling like this?

354
00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:12,840
I got up.

355
00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:22,840
What?

356
00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:41,840
Paul, Lindsay's painting's in the living room.

357
00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:45,840
They were just staring at me.

358
00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:48,840
And I just snapped.

359
00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:52,840
I had this feeling of being watched.

360
00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:56,840
I didn't want to look up.

361
00:26:57,840 --> 00:26:59,840
It was almost like a chant in the card.

362
00:26:59,840 --> 00:27:01,840
Do not look up at that window.

363
00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:03,840
Do not look up at that window.

364
00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:15,840
This was real. This woman was real.

365
00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:17,840
I called Lindsay.

366
00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:19,840
Lindsay, Lindsay. I saw her.

367
00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:21,840
I saw the woman.

368
00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:23,840
Woman in your nightmare.

369
00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:27,840
As if that woman stepped right out of Lindsay's dreams

370
00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:29,840
and right in front of me.

371
00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:31,840
Maybe I'm not going crazy.

372
00:27:31,840 --> 00:27:33,840
She was standing at your window, just like you said she was.

373
00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:35,840
I had seen her in my dreams,

374
00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:37,840
and now he had seen her in the flesh.

375
00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:40,840
Lindsay, I'm scared.

376
00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:43,840
We both knew at that very moment that this was real.

377
00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:51,840
I started worrying about Lindsay's safety.

378
00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:54,840
I come from a pretty religious family.

379
00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:58,840
My father was a subdeacon in our church.

380
00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:03,840
Adam said I think that he's the one to talk to.

381
00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:08,840
Lindsay, how nice to see you.

382
00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:11,840
I don't know where to start.

383
00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:16,840
Dreams keep recurring over and over.

384
00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:18,840
He didn't seem to be judging me.

385
00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:20,840
He's scared to sleep. He believed me.

386
00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:23,840
I think I may have something that will help you.

387
00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:25,840
100%.

388
00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:29,840
I'm going to give you a lot of holy water.

389
00:28:29,840 --> 00:28:33,840
This holy water will help to purify your house.

390
00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:37,840
He gave us this small icon,

391
00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:41,840
and he said this holy icon

392
00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:44,840
will help to protect you against evil.

393
00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:48,840
This will prevent anything from ever coming in your bedroom again.

394
00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:53,840
The icon he was giving us had to do with a patron saint

395
00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:56,840
who was known for kind of warding off evil spirits.

396
00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:04,840
Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name.

397
00:29:04,840 --> 00:29:05,840
Thy kingdom come.

398
00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:08,840
I thought I'm going to go from the bottom to the top of the house.

399
00:29:08,840 --> 00:29:11,840
I will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

400
00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:13,840
Give us this day.

401
00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:14,840
Good day.

402
00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:15,840
Good day.

403
00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:16,840
Really, bread.

404
00:29:16,840 --> 00:29:18,840
And forgive us our trespasses.

405
00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:22,840
Let's forgive those trespasses.

406
00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:23,840
Jesus.

407
00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:24,840
Let's leave this room.

408
00:29:24,840 --> 00:29:25,840
Hey.

409
00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:28,840
At this point, I thought they were nuts.

410
00:29:28,840 --> 00:29:30,840
You guys have got to get a grip.

411
00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:32,840
Quit watching so many movies.

412
00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:33,840
It's just a house.

413
00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:38,840
They had such fear and such, you know, anxiety.

414
00:29:38,840 --> 00:29:40,840
It was starting to get overwhelming.

415
00:29:40,840 --> 00:29:42,840
Something not right here, Amber.

416
00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:45,840
Yeah, you guys are not right here.

417
00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:48,840
I thought, is everyone losing their mind?

418
00:29:48,840 --> 00:29:52,840
Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name.

419
00:29:57,840 --> 00:29:59,840
Do you think that's enough?

420
00:29:59,840 --> 00:30:00,840
I think so.

421
00:30:03,840 --> 00:30:08,840
I took the icon and I hung it just beside my door.

422
00:30:13,840 --> 00:30:16,840
Something in my room completely changed.

423
00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:19,840
The air in that room was different.

424
00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:22,840
It was the first time I felt safe in my own room.

425
00:30:25,840 --> 00:30:26,840
You all right?

426
00:30:26,840 --> 00:30:28,840
Yeah.

427
00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:32,840
For whatever reason, it felt different.

428
00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:34,840
It felt lighter.

429
00:30:34,840 --> 00:30:38,840
It felt like a weight had kind of been lifted.

430
00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:44,840
I was upstairs sleeping.

431
00:30:44,840 --> 00:30:46,840
Lindsay was downstairs.

432
00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:54,840
I remember just hearing this bang.

433
00:31:13,840 --> 00:31:17,840
And then hearing like two other bangs.

434
00:31:20,840 --> 00:31:21,840
Boom.

435
00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:24,840
Boom.

436
00:31:24,840 --> 00:31:25,840
Boom.

437
00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:45,840
Lindsay's paintings had fallen on the floor.

438
00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:49,840
Every single painting except one.

439
00:31:58,840 --> 00:31:59,840
Lindsay!

440
00:32:08,840 --> 00:32:09,840
Lindsay!

441
00:32:12,840 --> 00:32:13,840
Lindsay!

442
00:32:24,840 --> 00:32:25,840
Are you okay?

443
00:32:25,840 --> 00:32:28,840
The paintings that I had been hanging in every single room.

444
00:32:28,840 --> 00:32:29,840
What happened?

445
00:32:29,840 --> 00:32:31,840
Had fallen off the wall.

446
00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:37,840
Whatever was in the house was angry, was violent.

447
00:32:37,840 --> 00:32:40,840
It did not want us there.

448
00:32:42,840 --> 00:32:44,840
Do you see now?

449
00:32:44,840 --> 00:32:45,840
It can move things.

450
00:32:45,840 --> 00:32:47,840
Adam kept telling me, do you see now?

451
00:32:47,840 --> 00:32:48,840
It's strong.

452
00:32:48,840 --> 00:32:49,840
It's showing us what it can do.

453
00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:52,840
And I kept saying, Adam, you're talking crazy.

454
00:32:52,840 --> 00:32:54,840
Baby, the nails just weren't secure.

455
00:32:54,840 --> 00:32:55,840
Come on.

456
00:32:55,840 --> 00:32:56,840
Are you serious?

457
00:32:56,840 --> 00:32:59,840
All the paintings fell down upstairs and down here.

458
00:32:59,840 --> 00:33:00,840
Look.

459
00:33:00,840 --> 00:33:02,840
Amber was clearly still in denial.

460
00:33:02,840 --> 00:33:05,840
Even after she saw every single painting.

461
00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:07,840
Like, what coincidence is that?

462
00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:10,840
But it doesn't necessarily mean what you think it means.

463
00:33:11,840 --> 00:33:14,840
You have got to be kidding me that you do not believe

464
00:33:14,840 --> 00:33:16,840
that this is the house.

465
00:33:18,840 --> 00:33:19,840
I thought it was a little weird,

466
00:33:19,840 --> 00:33:22,840
but there was nothing to explain it.

467
00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:31,840
One night I came home from class.

468
00:33:31,840 --> 00:33:33,840
I had a very small window of time

469
00:33:33,840 --> 00:33:36,840
to get from class to work.

470
00:33:40,840 --> 00:33:44,840
I brushed home, got changed, got something to eat.

471
00:33:44,840 --> 00:33:47,840
I went to the bar to see if there was anything to eat.

472
00:34:08,840 --> 00:34:09,840
I yelled out.

473
00:34:09,840 --> 00:34:10,840
Lindsay?

474
00:34:10,840 --> 00:34:12,840
To see if Lindsay or Adam was in the house.

475
00:34:12,840 --> 00:34:13,840
Adam.

476
00:34:13,840 --> 00:34:15,840
No one was in the house.

477
00:34:42,840 --> 00:34:45,840
So I get into the car.

478
00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:48,840
I start the car,

479
00:34:48,840 --> 00:34:51,840
and something draws my attention to the house.

480
00:34:51,840 --> 00:34:54,840
Something telling me to look up.

481
00:35:01,840 --> 00:35:03,840
I go to the bar,

482
00:35:03,840 --> 00:35:05,840
and I see a little girl.

483
00:35:05,840 --> 00:35:07,840
She's a little girl.

484
00:35:07,840 --> 00:35:09,840
She's a little girl.

485
00:35:10,840 --> 00:35:12,840
Oh, my God.

486
00:35:12,840 --> 00:35:15,840
I could very clearly see a woman standing in the window.

487
00:35:15,840 --> 00:35:17,840
I'm staring at her.

488
00:35:17,840 --> 00:35:20,840
Her staring directly back at me.

489
00:35:22,840 --> 00:35:26,840
Everything, everybody has been telling me was true.

490
00:35:27,840 --> 00:35:28,840
Lindsay?

491
00:35:28,840 --> 00:35:29,840
This woman was real.

492
00:35:29,840 --> 00:35:30,840
Okay.

493
00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:32,840
I believe you.

494
00:35:32,840 --> 00:35:33,840
Everything that you've been telling me,

495
00:35:33,840 --> 00:35:35,840
everything that you've been trying to explain to me.

496
00:35:35,840 --> 00:35:37,840
Wait, you mean to me?

497
00:35:37,840 --> 00:35:38,840
I saw her.

498
00:35:38,840 --> 00:35:40,840
She said, I saw her.

499
00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:41,840
I'm so sorry.

500
00:35:41,840 --> 00:35:42,840
I didn't believe you.

501
00:35:42,840 --> 00:35:44,840
It was a bittersweet moment

502
00:35:44,840 --> 00:35:46,840
because she was scared.

503
00:35:46,840 --> 00:35:48,840
But it was good for me

504
00:35:48,840 --> 00:35:50,840
because someone else saw her

505
00:35:50,840 --> 00:35:52,840
proving that I hadn't lost my mind.

506
00:35:54,840 --> 00:35:56,840
It united all of us.

507
00:35:56,840 --> 00:35:58,840
We are now on the same team.

508
00:35:58,840 --> 00:36:01,840
There's no more amber thinking that we're crazy.

509
00:36:01,840 --> 00:36:03,840
Everybody take one.

510
00:36:03,840 --> 00:36:07,840
I had the idea that we've all seen this figure.

511
00:36:07,840 --> 00:36:09,840
So why don't we all sit down

512
00:36:09,840 --> 00:36:12,840
and why don't we draw what we saw?

513
00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:14,840
Let's put pen to paper.

514
00:36:20,840 --> 00:36:21,840
Ready?

515
00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:24,840
Flip your papers over and let's see what we got.

516
00:36:26,840 --> 00:36:27,840
One.

517
00:36:31,840 --> 00:36:32,840
Two.

518
00:36:34,840 --> 00:36:35,840
Three.

519
00:36:38,840 --> 00:36:39,840
Four.

520
00:36:42,840 --> 00:36:44,840
All of us have the same figure

521
00:36:44,840 --> 00:36:46,840
on the piece of paper.

522
00:36:55,840 --> 00:36:57,840
The dark hair,

523
00:36:57,840 --> 00:37:00,840
the gnarly, nasty teeth.

524
00:37:01,840 --> 00:37:04,840
At that point, I couldn't believe

525
00:37:04,840 --> 00:37:07,840
that we were all experiencing the same thing.

526
00:37:09,840 --> 00:37:12,840
For Amber, you know, I think it was the biggest revelation

527
00:37:12,840 --> 00:37:15,840
because she went from being a complete skeptic

528
00:37:15,840 --> 00:37:18,840
to somebody who absolutely believed.

529
00:37:24,840 --> 00:37:27,840
If anyone was going to have any information about the house,

530
00:37:27,840 --> 00:37:29,840
it was going to be the historical society.

531
00:37:29,840 --> 00:37:33,840
Your property is one of the oldest houses in Kent,

532
00:37:33,840 --> 00:37:34,840
if not the oldest.

533
00:37:34,840 --> 00:37:36,840
And I thought, wow, he knows our house.

534
00:37:36,840 --> 00:37:37,840
And he said,

535
00:37:37,840 --> 00:37:39,840
Over 90 years ago,

536
00:37:39,840 --> 00:37:42,840
a doctor lived in that house with his wife.

537
00:37:45,840 --> 00:37:47,840
Their marriage broke down.

538
00:37:47,840 --> 00:37:50,840
She became unfaithful.

539
00:37:50,840 --> 00:37:52,840
And he lost his mind.

540
00:37:53,840 --> 00:37:55,840
When he said that,

541
00:37:55,840 --> 00:37:58,840
my heart began to beat so hard in my chest.

542
00:37:58,840 --> 00:38:02,840
Now I have some very disturbing things to tell you.

543
00:38:06,840 --> 00:38:07,840
He attacked her.

544
00:38:07,840 --> 00:38:09,840
He stabbed her.

545
00:38:09,840 --> 00:38:11,840
He mutilated her face.

546
00:38:12,840 --> 00:38:14,840
And then he killed her.

547
00:38:22,840 --> 00:38:24,840
All the pieces fit.

548
00:38:24,840 --> 00:38:25,840
That's the woman.

549
00:38:25,840 --> 00:38:27,840
Everything made sense to me.

550
00:38:27,840 --> 00:38:29,840
She's the one we've been seeing.

551
00:38:29,840 --> 00:38:31,840
This woman was real.

552
00:38:31,840 --> 00:38:33,840
This is the woman that's been haunting us.

553
00:38:33,840 --> 00:38:35,840
I'm sorry to have had to tell you this.

554
00:38:35,840 --> 00:38:37,840
This woman had been killed in our house,

555
00:38:37,840 --> 00:38:39,840
had been murdered in our house.

556
00:38:39,840 --> 00:38:40,840
You okay?

557
00:38:40,840 --> 00:38:41,840
Suffered.

558
00:38:41,840 --> 00:38:44,840
Who knows what kind of brutalities.

559
00:38:44,840 --> 00:38:45,840
I looked at Amber and I said,

560
00:38:45,840 --> 00:38:49,840
Amber, I think she wanted us to suffer like she suffered.

561
00:38:49,840 --> 00:38:53,840
I think she wanted me to feel the fear she felt.

562
00:38:53,840 --> 00:38:58,840
And this was the woman that we had all been seeing.

563
00:38:58,840 --> 00:39:01,840
There was no doubt in my mind, not at all.

564
00:39:01,840 --> 00:39:04,840
This was who Amber had seen, who Adam had seen,

565
00:39:04,840 --> 00:39:06,840
and who I had been dreaming about.

566
00:39:06,840 --> 00:39:08,840
I flipped off the light.

567
00:39:36,840 --> 00:39:38,840
I lost all control.

568
00:39:40,840 --> 00:39:42,840
I ran.

569
00:39:45,840 --> 00:39:47,840
Turn the corner to my stairs.

570
00:39:51,840 --> 00:39:54,840
I literally feel too much pain.

571
00:39:54,840 --> 00:39:56,840
I feel so much pain.

572
00:39:56,840 --> 00:39:58,840
I feel so much pain.

573
00:39:58,840 --> 00:40:00,840
I feel so much pain.

574
00:40:00,840 --> 00:40:02,840
I feel so much pain.

575
00:40:02,840 --> 00:40:04,840
I feel so much pain.

576
00:40:04,840 --> 00:40:09,840
I literally feel two hands grab my ankles

577
00:40:09,840 --> 00:40:12,840
and pull me down so hard.

578
00:40:15,840 --> 00:40:17,840
Lindsay!

579
00:40:25,840 --> 00:40:28,840
I am just completely frozen.

580
00:40:31,840 --> 00:40:33,840
She starts to growl.

581
00:40:35,840 --> 00:40:37,840
She starts to growl.

582
00:40:40,840 --> 00:40:42,840
Like animalistic.

583
00:40:42,840 --> 00:40:44,840
From your gut roar.

584
00:40:47,840 --> 00:40:49,840
And I kept...

585
00:40:51,840 --> 00:40:53,840
I slam it shut.

586
00:41:04,840 --> 00:41:07,840
I began here, violent scratching.

587
00:41:08,840 --> 00:41:11,840
Door moved, the door handle was turning.

588
00:41:24,840 --> 00:41:27,840
It got quieter and quieter and quieter.

589
00:41:35,840 --> 00:41:37,840
Door closed.

590
00:41:54,840 --> 00:41:58,840
helps

591
00:42:04,840 --> 00:42:06,840
It all tore us apart.

592
00:42:06,840 --> 00:42:08,840
It took a toll on us.

593
00:42:08,840 --> 00:42:09,840
Yeah, it did.

594
00:42:09,840 --> 00:42:12,840
It was several years before any of us

595
00:42:12,840 --> 00:42:15,840
were able to truly talk about what happened to all of us

596
00:42:15,840 --> 00:42:17,840
in that house.

597
00:42:17,840 --> 00:42:21,840
The best thing to do was to just leave the house.

598
00:42:21,840 --> 00:42:23,840
They had been friends since they were teenagers,

599
00:42:23,840 --> 00:42:29,840
and this situation just completely shredded all of that.

600
00:42:29,840 --> 00:42:31,840
Ready?

601
00:42:31,840 --> 00:42:32,840
Yeah.

602
00:42:32,840 --> 00:42:34,840
What we went through in that house, you know,

603
00:42:34,840 --> 00:42:36,840
it changed us forever.

604
00:42:36,840 --> 00:42:38,840
It altered every single one of us.

605
00:42:38,840 --> 00:42:42,840
This woman had caused some pretty long-term damage.
