1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,000
It was a beautiful old fireplace.

2
00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:05,000
The only thing was it was boarded up.

3
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:12,000
It was beyond my wildest imagination.

4
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:15,000
There was blood dripped around his head.

5
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:18,000
Whatever's in there is coming out.

6
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:21,000
I'm trying to get into my house.

7
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:23,000
It's not a good place to be.

8
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:25,000
I'm trying to get into my house.

9
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:27,000
I'm trying to get into my house.

10
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:29,000
It's my hard stuff for a man.

11
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:30,000
Full-harder!

12
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:32,000
What are you looking at, baby?

13
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:33,000
Honey.

14
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:34,000
Mandy?

15
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:37,000
It was something evil.

16
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:41,000
I just know what I could call it.

17
00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:04,000
In 1984, my dad passed, and it was devastating.

18
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:06,000
I loved him so much.

19
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:11,000
I was just 21 years old.

20
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:15,000
I had a daughter, Mandy, and I was pregnant with my son.

21
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:17,000
I was so happy.

22
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:19,000
I was so happy.

23
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:21,000
I was so happy.

24
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:23,000
I was so happy.

25
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:25,000
I was so happy.

26
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:26,000
Mandy lived quite a lot with me and I was very thankful for Mandy.

27
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:30,000
I knew Mandy was the best.

28
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:32,000
I knew Mandy and I was pregnant with my son.

29
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:34,000
Linda took it the hardest.

30
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:36,000
She was the baby of the family.

31
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:42,000
My boyfriend was a truck driver.

32
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:45,000
Months at a time I wouldn't see him.

33
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:48,000
So I was on my own with me and Mandy a lot.

34
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:52,000
Dad left us small inheritance.

35
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:55,000
I felt like I needed to stand on my own two feet.

36
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:02,000
So I started looking for a place to live,

37
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:05,000
a place where I could raise my children.

38
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:11,000
I seen this apartment building

39
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:14,000
that was in a familiar neighborhood.

40
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:16,000
It was gorgeous.

41
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:19,000
This is the home for me and my babies.

42
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:23,000
I remember it being there since I was a kid.

43
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:26,000
It was comforting and it was perfect.

44
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:34,000
The one thing that really caught my eye

45
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:36,000
was a beautiful old fire.

46
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:39,000
It was a beautiful old fire.

47
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:42,000
It was a beautiful old fire.

48
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:45,000
It was a beautiful old fire.

49
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:48,000
The one thing that really caught my eye

50
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:50,000
was a beautiful old fireplace.

51
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:55,000
The only thing was it was boarded up.

52
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:58,000
I thought maybe later on when I had a bit more money

53
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:01,000
that I might be able to restore it.

54
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:04,000
A few days later, I started fixing the back bedroom up

55
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:07,000
because I was going to be Mandy's room.

56
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:33,000
Here it is.

57
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:56,000
In one corner of the room was a closet.

58
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:58,000
When I opened it up,

59
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:03,000
When I opened it up, I noticed that there's an object in there.

60
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:19,000
The object was round, and it had shapes and designs.

61
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:22,000
It was pretty, so I kept looking at it.

62
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:27,000
It felt like it had a meaning, so I didn't want to just throw something away

63
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:31,000
because I figured someone will come back for this.

64
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:39,000
So I hung it back into the closet, and I just didn't think about it again.

65
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:57,000
After I got settled into my apartment, every morning I'm pulling my curtains over,

66
00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:03,000
and it's like there was no light beam, nothing.

67
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:09,000
And I thought, well, this is really strange.

68
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:19,000
So I thought, well, okay, well, I'm just going to scrub them down and see if I can get them to shine a little bit.

69
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:29,000
But still no light.

70
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:35,000
It was almost like some kind of shield that kept the sun from coming into the house.

71
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:38,000
It was gloomy.

72
00:05:38,000 --> 00:06:06,100
내

73
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:13,000
But I just put it down to settling in, new place,

74
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:16,000
and maybe being a little lonely.

75
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:21,000
And I was always waiting to find out

76
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:23,000
where Mandy's dad would be in.

77
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:27,000
I was always waiting to find out where Mandy's dad would be in.

78
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:59,000
Hanzel and Gretel went to bed thinking they were in heaven.

79
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:04,000
So at night Mandy always looked forward to her bedtime stories.

80
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:07,000
But the old woman had only pretended to be family.

81
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:13,000
I'm hearing this really heavy breathing,

82
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:16,000
and it's right by me.

83
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:22,000
I'd only pretended to be family.

84
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:27,000
She was a wicked witch who was lying in waiting for children.

85
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:30,000
So we're sitting there and I'm reading to her.

86
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:32,000
She had built her house.

87
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:39,000
It was like...

88
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:41,000
It was like...

89
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:53,000
The wicked witch thought, now I've got you.

90
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:05,000
I was right at my left ear.

91
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:07,000
Honey, you know what?

92
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:10,000
It's getting late. Let's take this into your room, okay?

93
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:12,000
I'll meet you there.

94
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:17,000
I started wondering what was that.

95
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:22,000
I couldn't get over the breathing I kept hearing.

96
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:26,000
I got to thinking I'm just tired, I'm stressed.

97
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:30,000
I just tried to forget about it. It didn't happen.

98
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:34,000
We haven't been in the apartment long when my cousin Jeannie

99
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:37,000
ended up coming over to see me.

100
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:39,000
It's pretty dark in here, honey.

101
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:42,000
I drove to her and I said, you need to wash your windows.

102
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:45,000
She gave me her Linda look.

103
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:50,000
I was in the kitchen talking to her and she was doing laundry.

104
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:53,000
How are you feeling anyway? Pregnant.

105
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:55,000
I noticed me in the kitchen.

106
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:57,000
I was in the kitchen talking to her.

107
00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:59,000
Pregnant.

108
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:04,000
I noticed Mandy nodding her head as if she's having a conversation

109
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:10,000
and she's answering back to whoever may be talking to her.

110
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:14,000
What is Mandy doing?

111
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:18,000
She was looking the same place all the time and it was always up.

112
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:21,000
Like, it was somebody bigger than her.

113
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:23,000
She's just playing.

114
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:27,000
Well, I took it as a child's imagination.

115
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:29,000
Isn't it strange though?

116
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:32,000
It's like she's talking to an adult.

117
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:34,000
It's her imaginary playmate.

118
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:37,000
And I said, Linda, I've got five kids.

119
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:40,000
None of them have ever done that.

120
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:42,000
She's fine.

121
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:49,000
Here you go.

122
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:58,000
Because I have Mandy in bed in my room,

123
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:03,000
when I would have company, I pulled my bedroom door part ways shut.

124
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:10,000
So I turn around and my bedroom door is pushed completely shut.

125
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:18,000
I go over and I turn the knob and I can't get in my bedroom.

126
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:21,000
So I'm pushing on the door.

127
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:26,000
Mandy, I was really concerned that an intruder had gotten into my home.

128
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:27,000
Open up.

129
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:29,000
Mommy, mommy!

130
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:31,000
Mandy!

131
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:33,000
Mommy!

132
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:43,000
Mandy, Mandy, honey.

133
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:47,000
Mandy, open up.

134
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:51,000
And I'm going, Mandy, Mandy.

135
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:53,000
Why are you shouting?

136
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:58,000
I'm throwing my whole body against this door, trying to get into my bedroom.

137
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:00,000
What's the matter?

138
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:11,000
Oh my God, honey, how did this get here?

139
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:16,000
The bed had been lodged up against the door.

140
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:18,000
Is someone in here?

141
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:19,000
I don't know.

142
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:24,000
For someone to move something like that, had to take a lot of strength.

143
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:30,000
She couldn't understand why I was so upset and why I was yelling her name.

144
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:33,000
I had a little girl to think about.

145
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:36,000
I could feel something wasn't right.

146
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:39,000
I was really scared.

147
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:43,000
I was scared.

148
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:52,000
So the next morning I get up, I'm getting cup of coffee.

149
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:55,000
I'm standing at the window.

150
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:59,000
And I'm hearing this crack, crack.

151
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:06,000
And it started on me a little bit and I turn around and I start hearing this creaking.

152
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:11,000
I realize that it is coming from the fireplace.

153
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:14,000
And I hear this loud pop.

154
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:21,000
I walk over and try to peek in there.

155
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:24,000
But when I did, it stopped.

156
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:28,000
So I just kind of let that go.

157
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:32,000
I thought, well, it might have been a breeze.

158
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:40,000
Or maybe it was a little bit of a shock.

159
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:42,000
I was like, I don't know.

160
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:44,000
I don't know.

161
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:46,000
I don't know.

162
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:48,000
I don't know.

163
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:53,000
Or maybe a bird fell down there.

164
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:01,000
You're not hearing what I'm saying.

165
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:06,000
So a couple days later, I fall in rings and it's my boyfriend.

166
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:09,000
And I start telling him what's going on.

167
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:12,000
He's thinking that I got baby blues.

168
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:17,000
He's trying to tell me that it's just my imagination.

169
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:22,000
It was very frustrating because this wasn't my imagination.

170
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:25,000
And it wasn't my hormones.

171
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:51,000
I thought it was just time to start getting Mandy used to sleeping in her new bedroom in the back.

172
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:56,000
So I would have more space for the baby in my room.

173
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:10,000
All of her toys are set up.

174
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:13,000
It was so cute.

175
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:15,000
Mandy.

176
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:17,000
Come on, honey.

177
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:20,000
What do you think of your room?

178
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:23,000
I love it. Thank you.

179
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:24,000
Yeah?

180
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:26,000
You're helping Mummy.

181
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:28,000
There you go.

182
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:35,000
Mummy worked very hard.

183
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:42,000
I figure, well, the doors are open.

184
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:45,000
If she needs me, I can hear her.

185
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:56,000
It was around midnight.

186
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:59,000
I'm laying in my bed.

187
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:07,000
All of a sudden, I hear this horrible scream.

188
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:11,000
The scream was just blood curling.

189
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:15,000
I ran so fast, like her life depended on it.

190
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:17,000
Mandy?

191
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:20,000
The bed was just violently shaking.

192
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:22,000
It was just banging so hard.

193
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:27,000
Mandy is hanging on and she's screaming.

194
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:31,000
I grabbed her so fast.

195
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:35,000
All I kept thinking was, how am I going to protect my babies?

196
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:43,000
On the couch, honey. On the couch.

197
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:45,000
Are you okay?

198
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:47,000
I'm sitting there and I'm holding Mandy.

199
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:49,000
I start hearing this sound.

200
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:51,000
You're fine. You're fine.

201
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:55,000
It's the fireplace.

202
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:00,000
What is that, Mummy?

203
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:01,000
Stay there.

204
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:05,000
The wood is popping and it's pushing outward.

205
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:11,000
I'm thinking, oh my God, whatever's in there is coming out.

206
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:14,000
My heart was pounding so hard.

207
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:17,000
I thought it was going to pound out my chest.

208
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:21,000
It's terrified.

209
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:28,000
There's something trying to get into my house.

210
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:30,000
Be careful, Mummy.

211
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:55,000
I could see a shadow of a shape pushing and scratching.

212
00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:59,000
And it wasn't no bird. It wasn't a giraffe.

213
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:01,000
I'm going to go.

214
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:18,000
This was something trying to come through that fireplace.

215
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:23,000
Come on up. Come on.

216
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:27,000
I turn around and I grab Mandy and we went back into the bedroom.

217
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:32,000
And at this point, I knew that something paranormal was going on in my house.

218
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:41,000
But I had that little tiny seed of doubt that maybe it was me.

219
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:46,000
Maybe I was going a little crazy.

220
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:53,000
I kept Mandy close to me and I couldn't sleep.

221
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:57,000
All I could do was pray for morning.

222
00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:03,000
Everything right now was revolving around keeping me and D as safe as I could.

223
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:08,000
And then my other big concern was the baby coming.

224
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:11,000
I don't have my dad.

225
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:16,000
My boyfriend was driving on a truck across country.

226
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:22,000
It was late at night and there was no one I could call and say,

227
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:25,000
Please come get me.

228
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:29,000
I got up the next morning. I walked back into Mandy's bedroom.

229
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:35,000
Everything was calm.

230
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:43,000
I was so nervous.

231
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:45,000
I was so nervous.

232
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:47,000
I was so nervous.

233
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:49,000
I was so nervous.

234
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:51,000
I was so nervous.

235
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:53,000
I was so nervous.

236
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:56,000
I was so nervous.

237
00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:01,000
I don't remember if I went back to the bedroom or not,

238
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:03,000
but I stayed in my room.

239
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:04,000
I didn't want to stay there.

240
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:08,000
But I invested everything I had in the apartment.

241
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:17,000
Whatever was here, I was really hoping it would just go away.

242
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:20,000
This was supposed to be our home.

243
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:21,500
This was supposed to be our home.

244
00:19:24,500 --> 00:19:26,500
I decided to call my sister Audrey

245
00:19:26,500 --> 00:19:28,500
and ask her if she can come over.

246
00:19:33,500 --> 00:19:35,500
Me and Dee was asleep.

247
00:19:35,500 --> 00:19:37,500
Hey, what's going on?

248
00:19:37,500 --> 00:19:39,500
It's a fireplace.

249
00:19:43,500 --> 00:19:49,500
Then all of a sudden, there was a slow breathing sound, right?

250
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:52,000
Next to my ear.

251
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:54,000
And I got scared and I jumped up.

252
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:56,000
Audrey?

253
00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:58,000
I was trying to get it away from me.

254
00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:00,000
I was hitting at it.

255
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:03,000
Are you okay?

256
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:05,000
Audrey's standing there and she's trying to

257
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:07,000
swap this thing away from her.

258
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:10,000
She's pushing it and fighting it, trying to swing it away.

259
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:15,000
Something raised my arm up just like this.

260
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:16,000
Something's got me.

261
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:17,000
Audrey.

262
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:18,000
Pull harder.

263
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:20,000
Something had a hold of her arm.

264
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:22,000
And she's trying to help me.

265
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:26,000
It was like a tug of war, trying to get her away from this.

266
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:30,000
It finally released me.

267
00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:34,000
She fell backwards and landed on the couch.

268
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:36,000
We just hung on to each other.

269
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:38,000
We just couldn't believe what just happened.

270
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:41,000
It was beyond my wildest imagination.

271
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:44,000
She was breathing hard and her being pregnant.

272
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:46,000
The baby's coming.

273
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:49,000
I told Lennis that we need to get out of here.

274
00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:59,000
Here we go.

275
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:00,000
New home.

276
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:02,000
It's beautiful, isn't it?

277
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:06,000
Aaron is born and he was beautiful.

278
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:08,000
We went back home.

279
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:09,000
Yeah.

280
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:12,000
After she had the baby, she seemed almost like

281
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:14,000
her old self again.

282
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:18,000
Okay.

283
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:19,000
Go on in.

284
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:22,000
You all right?

285
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:27,000
So I get him home and nothing happened.

286
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:29,000
It was very peaceful.

287
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:30,000
It was calm.

288
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:33,000
You sure you're gonna be okay?

289
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:34,000
Yeah.

290
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:36,000
Gotta make a go at this.

291
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:39,000
I felt like I turned a corner.

292
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:20,000
The novice son and the popping and the scratching

293
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:23,000
from the fireplace, it's so much worse.

294
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:28,000
It's like something is trying to fight

295
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:31,000
to get into the apartment.

296
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:32,000
I was scared.

297
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:34,000
I didn't know what to do.

298
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:36,000
It was late, but I called my cousin Jeannie.

299
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:41,000
Hello?

300
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:42,000
Jeannie?

301
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:43,000
Linda?

302
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:45,000
What's wrong, sweetie?

303
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:48,000
Jeannie, whatever's here, it won't go away.

304
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:50,000
I'm not kidding.

305
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:52,000
Please, can you get here?

306
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:53,000
Just come.

307
00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:57,000
I'm coming right over, Linda.

308
00:22:57,000 --> 00:22:58,000
Linda?

309
00:22:58,000 --> 00:22:59,000
Jeannie?

310
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:01,000
The phone went dead.

311
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:05,000
She sounded really anxious, stressed.

312
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:09,000
I need you here now and I told her I'd be right over.

313
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:11,000
I've gotta go over to the windows.

314
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:19,000
As soon as I walked in the door,

315
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:22,000
she goes, this place is haunted.

316
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:25,000
She didn't tell stories.

317
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:27,000
There's something in the fireplace.

318
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:29,000
She had a lot to deal with.

319
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:31,000
Come on, let's settle down a little, okay?

320
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:34,000
She was by herself basically raising them.

321
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:36,000
I wanted to be there for as much as I could.

322
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:47,000
You got a screwdriver?

323
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:49,000
I thought maybe, you know,

324
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:52,000
birds might have got down in there, flopping around.

325
00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:00,000
I started taking the screws out.

326
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:04,000
Whoever put the board there wanted to make sure it stayed up.

327
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:10,000
I just got this really bad feeling

328
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:12,000
that I shouldn't take the board off.

329
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:15,000
And I started putting the screws back in.

330
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:21,000
What are you doing?

331
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:23,000
And I just told her, I said, Linda,

332
00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:25,000
I don't think this has meant to come down.

333
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:27,000
Every time you take out a screw, I get a worse feeling

334
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:29,000
like this is something I'm not supposed to do.

335
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:31,000
I'm not gonna take it off.

336
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:38,000
The feeling that came over me,

337
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:40,000
it was a feeling of dread,

338
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:42,000
and then I heard the voice.

339
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:08,000
I knew the kids were in danger.

340
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:10,000
You guys need to get out of this apartment.

341
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:12,000
You need to move.

342
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:14,000
And she started crying.

343
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:16,000
She said the kids weren't safe there.

344
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:18,000
An apartment.

345
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:26,000
It was devastating.

346
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:29,000
I suggested she come with me,

347
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:31,000
and she said she couldn't.

348
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:36,000
I couldn't pile in on my family, you know.

349
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:38,000
They still had their life.

350
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:40,000
I have to go.

351
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:42,000
So I was stuck in a place where I couldn't keep my baby.

352
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:46,000
I'll stay.

353
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:48,000
Take them with you.

354
00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:56,000
Can you get me a different one?

355
00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:59,000
She gathered up stuff through it in the bag real quick,

356
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:01,000
and I walked out of the apartment.

357
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:04,000
I said, I'll bring them back tomorrow, daylight.

358
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:07,000
And I said, okay, just be careful.

359
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:15,000
I love you.

360
00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:17,000
I felt so bad leaving Linda there.

361
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:27,000
I had to make it work.

362
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:29,000
It was my home.

363
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:31,000
It was supposed to be my home.

364
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:01,000
I took out LED.

365
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:03,000
Of course, they sent out feces and energy.

366
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:05,000
To be far away, perhaps.

367
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:07,000
No.

368
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:09,000
Please carry me up, if myособrows.

369
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:12,000
Um...

370
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:20,000
No 0h.

371
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:27,000
You are from the约.

372
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:37,000
I knew something wasn't right.

373
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:47,000
Something was on top of me.

374
00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:56,000
It was suffocating me.

375
00:27:56,000 --> 00:28:01,000
All I could do was pray.

376
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:04,000
Whatever this was released me.

377
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:08,000
It let me up.

378
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:13,000
I was so frightened that I didn't have any idea what it was.

379
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:15,000
Maybe it's just all a bad dream.

380
00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:25,000
I started wondering if it was all in my mind.

381
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:28,000
I was lost on what direction to go.

382
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:32,000
I didn't know what to do or who to go to.

383
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:35,000
I couldn't leave the kids with my family

384
00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:50,000
because my first instinct was my children should be with me.

385
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:53,000
My boyfriend was still away on a long job

386
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:56,000
and still wouldn't be back for weeks.

387
00:28:56,000 --> 00:29:02,000
And I wonder if I'm ever going to wake up from this nightmare.

388
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:07,000
I was beginning to get angry at the kids' father

389
00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:21,000
for not putting more effort into taking us out of this situation.

390
00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:23,000
Sorry I haven't been around before.

391
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:26,000
I invited Becky to come over for dinner.

392
00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:30,000
I met Linda when I was probably about 16, 17.

393
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:32,000
We were really good friends.

394
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:36,000
I was just happy that I wouldn't be alone.

395
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:40,000
I felt like I was just going to be safer with my friends there.

396
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:45,000
I think it started with the fireplace.

397
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:47,000
And there's whispering.

398
00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:49,000
There's something in here.

399
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:52,000
She insisted there's something wrong.

400
00:29:57,000 --> 00:29:59,000
There's constant.

401
00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:04,000
We heard this crash.

402
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:11,000
Now I'll have her loose open cabinets

403
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:14,000
and taking dishes out and just throwing them.

404
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:17,000
Dishes are starting to fly off the counter.

405
00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:21,000
Like somebody invisible came in there and was just raging mad.

406
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:23,000
It's like telling us to get out.

407
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:28,000
The bedroom door was shaking.

408
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:31,000
Erin! Stay here!

409
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:42,000
Erin, the baby was in there.

410
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:46,000
It just started harrying that there was something on the other side of the door.

411
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:48,000
Push!

412
00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:54,000
Oh my God! Oh my God!

413
00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:56,000
Something was so wrong!

414
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:06,000
Oh my God!

415
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:08,000
There's something in there for my baby!

416
00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:12,000
Oh my God!

417
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:14,000
And I flipped the light on.

418
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:18,000
Honey!

419
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:23,000
And there was blood dripped around him.

420
00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:31,000
What is it?

421
00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:34,000
It was like almost somebody stood over him.

422
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:37,000
Maybe the eye drop or something. Just perfect spots.

423
00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:39,000
I don't know. There's blood coming from him.

424
00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:41,000
I don't know. They're still cut.

425
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:44,000
Just when we did start thinking maybe a ritual.

426
00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:46,000
My God, they was going to take the baby.

427
00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:50,000
I'm checking everything. Trying to figure out where this came from.

428
00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:52,000
I stripped him down.

429
00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:55,000
There was no marks, no cuts.

430
00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:58,000
No reason for the blood.

431
00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:01,000
Doesn't make any sense.

432
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:08,000
I felt helpless.

433
00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:11,000
I didn't know what to do.

434
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:18,000
Big children have to be protected.

435
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:20,000
We're going to call the church.

436
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:23,000
We're going to have a preacher exercise this house.

437
00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:35,000
In the name of the Father.

438
00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:38,000
The priest began to read from the Bible.

439
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:40,000
And do his blessings.

440
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:42,000
Amen.

441
00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:46,000
Amen.

442
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:48,000
Amen.

443
00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:52,000
Most glorious prince of the heavenly armies.

444
00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:54,000
St. Michael the Army.

445
00:32:54,000 --> 00:33:00,000
You could start hearing the sound of muffling in the fireplace.

446
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:02,000
My heart stopped for a minute.

447
00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:05,000
Against the rulers of this world of darkness.

448
00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:09,000
Against the spirits of wickedness in the high places.

449
00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:20,000
It was like an invisible creature.

450
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:23,000
And those who hate him flee before him.

451
00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:27,000
As smoke is driven away, so are they driven.

452
00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:47,000
As wax melts before the fire.

453
00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:49,000
It ran.

454
00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:51,000
And it hit Audrey's leg.

455
00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:55,000
But you could hear whatever this was.

456
00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:58,000
It was going around the table and it was going fast.

457
00:33:58,000 --> 00:34:02,000
All satanic power flee before him.

458
00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:13,000
It ran up the chimney.

459
00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:15,000
It went.

460
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:18,000
You could hear it hitting the inside of the wall.

461
00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:29,000
After it went up the chimney, everything got really, really quiet.

462
00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:34,000
But you could feel there was a lightness in the air.

463
00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:38,000
The sun was starting to shine through the windows.

464
00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:43,000
We were just ecstatic that this was over.

465
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:48,000
She was going to be safe and wouldn't be afraid to stay in that apartment with her two babies.

466
00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:10,000
Thanks.

467
00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:41,000
I'll just get you some milk, honey.

468
00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:10,000
I'm sorry.

469
00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:26,000
My phone rings.

470
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:29,000
Hello?

471
00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:38,000
It's the priest and he says,

472
00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:40,000
You need to get the babies and get out of that apartment.

473
00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:42,000
What?

474
00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:44,000
It's not gone.

475
00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:51,000
And at that point, I got sick to my stomach.

476
00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:56,000
Something was trying to break through the board from the inside.

477
00:36:56,000 --> 00:36:59,000
But the board is nailed shut.

478
00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:04,000
Whatever this thing was, it was back and it was just horrifying.

479
00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:11,000
Mandy, honey, please, I need your help.

480
00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:14,000
Grab everything that you want. We're going to Antietes tonight.

481
00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:17,000
Come on. Let's go.

482
00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:21,000
I need help with your brother.

483
00:37:21,000 --> 00:37:23,000
Mandy.

484
00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:26,000
No playtime right now.

485
00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:29,000
She says, who is that mommy?

486
00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:31,000
Who's that mommy?

487
00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:33,000
Who's who honey?

488
00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:35,000
And she went quiet.

489
00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:39,000
And I'm looking, I'm like, what are you looking at baby?

490
00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:40,000
Honey.

491
00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:43,000
When she moved her head towards me.

492
00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:50,000
Mandy.

493
00:37:53,000 --> 00:37:56,000
Please Mandy, Mandy, please, I need your help.

494
00:37:58,000 --> 00:38:00,000
Honey.

495
00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:07,000
She had this grin.

496
00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:09,000
Mandy.

497
00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:11,000
And her eyes weren't her eyes.

498
00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:13,000
Mandy.

499
00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:15,000
They had her black.

500
00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:17,000
Mandy.

501
00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:19,000
Something took her.

502
00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:21,000
Come on.

503
00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:24,000
And I just grabbed.

504
00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:26,000
Mommy.

505
00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:30,000
And it was Mandy again.

506
00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:34,000
She's looking at me and she doesn't understand.

507
00:38:36,000 --> 00:38:38,000
Are you okay?

508
00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:41,000
How could I tell her that it wasn't her I was looking at?

509
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:43,000
She was just a baby.

510
00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:48,000
I was clinging on and it's kept her right above me.

511
00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:54,000
My heart starts racing.

512
00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:56,000
I've got to get my kids out of here.

513
00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:04,000
I was done with the apartment.

514
00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:06,000
It was over.

515
00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:19,000
So a week or two later I had a few things still left in my apartment

516
00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:23,000
and I asked my cousin Jeannie if she would help me.

517
00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:38,000
I went back in the back bedroom.

518
00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:40,000
I opened the closet door to see if there's anything.

519
00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:42,000
Else in the closet.

520
00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:48,000
And there was this thing hanging there.

521
00:39:53,000 --> 00:39:55,000
It was really odd looking.

522
00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:57,000
I'd never seen anything like it before.

523
00:39:57,000 --> 00:40:01,000
And I called the Linda and I asked her.

524
00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:03,000
Linda, does this thing go to?

525
00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:05,000
What's inside?

526
00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:07,000
Come here, sir.

527
00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:11,000
I said when I moved in here I seen it, but I figured it just belonged here.

528
00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:17,000
I said doesn't that look like a pentagram?

529
00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:20,000
And she goes, oh my god, yes.

530
00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:25,000
She's like this really looks like this is something evil.

531
00:40:25,000 --> 00:40:27,000
Something that a witch would work with.

532
00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:29,000
I said, I'm sorry.

533
00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:31,000
I'm sorry.

534
00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:33,000
I'm sorry.

535
00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:35,000
I'm sorry.

536
00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:37,000
I thought a witch would work with.

537
00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:48,000
And at that moment I got the remembering that when I was a child

538
00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:52,000
there was an old woman who lived in this apartment.

539
00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:54,000
Hi, girl.

540
00:40:54,000 --> 00:40:57,000
The very same apartment that I'm living in right now

541
00:40:57,000 --> 00:41:00,000
it suddenly made sense to me.

542
00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:04,000
People used to always make a comment.

543
00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:08,000
Don't go too close to her house.

544
00:41:08,000 --> 00:41:12,000
She's a witch and she's mean.

545
00:41:12,000 --> 00:41:15,000
And it was very clear she did not like children.

546
00:41:15,000 --> 00:41:18,000
She was always looking out the windows,

547
00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:21,000
especially when she heard kids out there.

548
00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:28,000
I couldn't believe that I did not remember about this woman living in my apartment

549
00:41:28,000 --> 00:41:32,000
and everybody accusing her of being a witch.

550
00:41:35,000 --> 00:41:40,000
How could I forget that?

551
00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:43,000
She kept shaking her head. How could I forget that?

552
00:41:43,000 --> 00:41:45,000
I was with Linda.

553
00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:48,000
It was a long time ago. You were what, six, seven years old?

554
00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:51,000
I said, let's get out of here now.

555
00:41:51,000 --> 00:41:54,000
And so we grabbed the other boxes from that room

556
00:41:54,000 --> 00:41:57,000
and we were gone no time flat.

557
00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:26,000
I knew in my heart that I may never truly know

558
00:42:26,000 --> 00:42:29,000
what really was in that apartment.

559
00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:40,000
I didn't know if it was the soul of this old woman tormenting me

560
00:42:40,000 --> 00:42:42,000
or if it was something that she may have conjured up.

561
00:42:42,000 --> 00:42:45,000
These are things I'll never know.
