00:00:36,229 --> 00:00:34,750
scared to death it was the summer of

9
00:00:38,389 --> 00:00:36,239
2004.

10
00:00:39,830 --> 00:00:38,399
at the time i was selling real estate in

11
00:00:42,069 --> 00:00:39,840
warren county virginia

12
00:00:42,869 --> 00:00:42,079
but mostly in the front royal virginia

13
00:00:44,470 --> 00:00:42,879
area

14
00:00:46,869 --> 00:00:44,480
the vicinity is known more for the

15
00:00:49,110 --> 00:00:46,879
shenandoah valley as well as its history

16
00:00:51,270 --> 00:00:49,120
during the american civil war

17
00:00:52,790 --> 00:00:51,280
it seems that most of the older property

18
00:00:55,750 --> 00:00:52,800
has a story behind it

19
00:00:57,270 --> 00:00:55,760
and it's usually tied to the civil war i

20
00:01:00,310 --> 00:00:57,280
moved there in 2000

21
00:01:02,470 --> 00:01:00,320
not long after i graduated from college

22
00:01:03,590 --> 00:01:02,480
real estate sales was not my first

23
00:01:06,310 --> 00:01:03,600
choice for a career

24
00:01:07,910 --> 00:01:06,320
but i was doing well so i decided to see

25
00:01:10,870 --> 00:01:07,920
how far i could go

26
00:01:11,270 --> 00:01:10,880
in march 2004 a house with many acres of

27
00:01:14,149 --> 00:01:11,280
farm

28
00:01:16,230 --> 00:01:14,159
property was listed for sale the former

29
00:01:18,149 --> 00:01:16,240
resident had recently passed away and

30
00:01:19,749 --> 00:01:18,159
the family was selling it

31
00:01:21,590 --> 00:01:19,759
from what i gathered none of the

32
00:01:22,310 --> 00:01:21,600
relatives wanted to take over the

33
00:01:24,310 --> 00:01:22,320
property

34
00:01:25,830 --> 00:01:24,320
and it was decided that it be sold as

35
00:01:27,910 --> 00:01:25,840
soon as possible

36
00:01:29,990 --> 00:01:27,920
on the day i first toured the old place

37
00:01:31,910 --> 00:01:30,000
it was obvious that the previous owner

38
00:01:33,910 --> 00:01:31,920
took very good care of it

39
00:01:37,030 --> 00:01:33,920
it was quite a nice house with an old

40
00:01:39,190 --> 00:01:37,040
barn a smokehouse and a large greenhouse

41
00:01:40,950 --> 00:01:39,200
a nephew of the former owner accompanied

42
00:01:42,630 --> 00:01:40,960
me during the inspection

43
00:01:44,950 --> 00:01:42,640
he assured me that there would be no

44
00:01:45,670 --> 00:01:44,960
attempts by any family member to impede

45
00:01:47,429 --> 00:01:45,680
a sale

46
00:01:48,950 --> 00:01:47,439
and that everything in the house was to

47
00:01:52,149 --> 00:01:48,960
be sold as is

48
00:01:54,069 --> 00:01:52,159
all furniture appliances tools etc were

49
00:01:55,830 --> 00:01:54,079
to be included in the sale

50
00:01:58,310 --> 00:01:55,840
i explained to him that they would most

51
00:02:00,389 --> 00:01:58,320
likely realize more profit if the items

52
00:02:02,310 --> 00:02:00,399
were removed for sale in an auction

53
00:02:03,990 --> 00:02:02,320
but he insisted it must be sold as

54
00:02:06,149 --> 00:02:04,000
issues and that the buyer would be

55
00:02:08,309 --> 00:02:06,159
responsible for the contents

56
00:02:10,150 --> 00:02:08,319
i thought this was quite odd but i

57
00:02:10,949 --> 00:02:10,160
promised that i would do as the sellers

58
00:02:13,510 --> 00:02:10,959
wanted

59
00:02:15,350 --> 00:02:13,520
to my surprise the property was listed

60
00:02:17,350 --> 00:02:15,360
for only three weeks

61
00:02:18,630 --> 00:02:17,360
the overall housing market was starting

62
00:02:20,869 --> 00:02:18,640
to get very tight

63
00:02:21,670 --> 00:02:20,879
and large properties were difficult to

64
00:02:24,229 --> 00:02:21,680
sell

65
00:02:25,670 --> 00:02:24,239
but in fact i made the sale to a couple

66
00:02:27,750 --> 00:02:25,680
from washington dc

67
00:02:30,150 --> 00:02:27,760
who was the second party that showed

68
00:02:32,790 --> 00:02:30,160
interest they made a counter offer which

69
00:02:34,550 --> 00:02:32,800
was quickly accepted by the sellers

70
00:02:36,070 --> 00:02:34,560
everything went quite smooth though the

71
00:02:38,550 --> 00:02:36,080
day of settlement was a bit

72
00:02:40,390 --> 00:02:38,560
strange the nephew and his sister were

73
00:02:42,630 --> 00:02:40,400
representing the sellers

74
00:02:44,869 --> 00:02:42,640
their demeanor was very distant and cold

75
00:02:47,430 --> 00:02:44,879
during the entire procedure

76
00:02:49,270 --> 00:02:47,440
at one point the buyers asked the nephew

77
00:02:50,949 --> 00:02:49,280
if there was any property in the house

78
00:02:52,949 --> 00:02:50,959
that he would like to keep

79
00:02:54,790 --> 00:02:52,959
the nephew gave them a glaring look and

80
00:02:55,430 --> 00:02:54,800
told them that he didn't care if they

81
00:02:58,070 --> 00:02:55,440
burned at

82
00:03:00,630 --> 00:02:58,080
all several weeks later the new owners

83
00:03:02,790 --> 00:03:00,640
invited me for dinner and their new home

84
00:03:05,110 --> 00:03:02,800
they were quite proud and wanted to tell

85
00:03:07,190 --> 00:03:05,120
me about the history of the place

86
00:03:08,869 --> 00:03:07,200
it was once owned by a former british

87
00:03:10,550 --> 00:03:08,879
officer who had defected and

88
00:03:12,229 --> 00:03:10,560
fought with the colonists during the

89
00:03:14,229 --> 00:03:12,239
revolutionary war

90
00:03:16,790 --> 00:03:14,239
later it became a working farm and

91
00:03:18,949 --> 00:03:16,800
remained so until the 1950s when it was

92
00:03:19,990 --> 00:03:18,959
purchased by a pentacostal preacher and

93
00:03:21,589 --> 00:03:20,000
his wife

94
00:03:23,830 --> 00:03:21,599
the couple was considered quite

95
00:03:25,430 --> 00:03:23,840
eccentric and the preacher never had a

96
00:03:27,430 --> 00:03:25,440
large congregation

97
00:03:28,550 --> 00:03:27,440
the new owners were told by an attorney

98
00:03:30,630 --> 00:03:28,560
who lived nearby

99
00:03:32,789 --> 00:03:30,640
that the preacher held worship services

100
00:03:33,670 --> 00:03:32,799
in the barn because there was never a

101
00:03:35,350 --> 00:03:33,680
church

102
00:03:37,350 --> 00:03:35,360
there were many rumors of strange

103
00:03:38,470 --> 00:03:37,360
rituals being performed during these

104
00:03:40,710 --> 00:03:38,480
services

105
00:03:42,710 --> 00:03:40,720
it was a very enjoyable evening and we

106
00:03:45,350 --> 00:03:42,720
agreed to get together again

107
00:03:47,830 --> 00:03:45,360
i really did like this couple they were

108
00:03:49,430 --> 00:03:47,840
very intelligent and quite polite

109
00:03:51,190 --> 00:03:49,440
the husband worked for the federal

110
00:03:53,270 --> 00:03:51,200
government and the wife was a

111
00:03:54,789 --> 00:03:53,280
pharmaceutical representative

112
00:03:56,869 --> 00:03:54,799
they had grown tired of the urban

113
00:03:59,509 --> 00:03:56,879
lifestyle in washington dc

114
00:03:59,990 --> 00:03:59,519
and wanted a home where they could relax

115
00:04:01,670 --> 00:04:00,000
one thing

116
00:04:03,750 --> 00:04:01,680
i did notice was that much of the

117
00:04:05,990 --> 00:04:03,760
furniture and appliances left in the

118
00:04:07,110 --> 00:04:06,000
house remained and was being used by the

119
00:04:09,350 --> 00:04:07,120
new owners

120
00:04:11,750 --> 00:04:09,360
on the july 4th weekend the couple

121
00:04:13,670 --> 00:04:11,760
invited me to join their cookout

122
00:04:16,229 --> 00:04:13,680
my boyfriend was staying with me for the

123
00:04:18,629 --> 00:04:16,239
week so he decided to come along

124
00:04:19,430 --> 00:04:18,639
i hadn't seen the couple in over a month

125
00:04:21,270 --> 00:04:19,440
and was very

126
00:04:22,710 --> 00:04:21,280
interested to know how life in their new

127
00:04:24,629 --> 00:04:22,720
home was going

128
00:04:26,230 --> 00:04:24,639
when we arrived instantly i knew

129
00:04:28,150 --> 00:04:26,240
something was wrong

130
00:04:30,390 --> 00:04:28,160
we started walking towards the back of

131
00:04:32,070 --> 00:04:30,400
the house and noticed that no one other

132
00:04:34,230 --> 00:04:32,080
than the couple were there

133
00:04:36,070 --> 00:04:34,240
i asked if we were the first to arrive

134
00:04:38,150 --> 00:04:36,080
and was told that none of their friends

135
00:04:40,070 --> 00:04:38,160
accepted the invitation

136
00:04:41,670 --> 00:04:40,080
we sat down in the lawn chairs and

137
00:04:43,670 --> 00:04:41,680
started to talk

138
00:04:46,070 --> 00:04:43,680
they both looked worried though i didn't

139
00:04:48,710 --> 00:04:46,080
understand what was going on

140
00:04:50,469 --> 00:04:48,720
i'm a very direct person so i asked if

141
00:04:52,550 --> 00:04:50,479
there was anything wrong

142
00:04:54,070 --> 00:04:52,560
the wife looked at me and explained that

143
00:04:55,990 --> 00:04:54,080
none of their friends would come to the

144
00:04:58,870 --> 00:04:56,000
house anymore and that they had all

145
00:05:00,550 --> 00:04:58,880
had bad experiences when visiting she

146
00:05:02,310 --> 00:05:00,560
started to get more specific

147
00:05:05,029 --> 00:05:02,320
and said that they thought the property

148
00:05:07,990 --> 00:05:05,039
was haunted i tried not to laugh

149
00:05:09,749 --> 00:05:08,000
but the smile quickly came to my face i

150
00:05:12,710 --> 00:05:09,759
looked back at both of them

151
00:05:14,469 --> 00:05:12,720
they were deadly serious and not smiling

152
00:05:15,909 --> 00:05:14,479
they said that something tried to push

153
00:05:17,749 --> 00:05:15,919
people down the stairs

154
00:05:19,350 --> 00:05:17,759
and that a bad odor would permeate the

155
00:05:22,150 --> 00:05:19,360
living room for a few minutes

156
00:05:23,749 --> 00:05:22,160
then fade away they also heard screaming

157
00:05:25,590 --> 00:05:23,759
sounds outside at night

158
00:05:27,270 --> 00:05:25,600
and thought it may have been coming from

159
00:05:29,270 --> 00:05:27,280
the barn as well

160
00:05:31,990 --> 00:05:29,280
they were both having dreams about dead

161
00:05:33,830 --> 00:05:32,000
bodies buried in the greenhouse and barn

162
00:05:35,830 --> 00:05:33,840
i had never experienced anything

163
00:05:38,710 --> 00:05:35,840
paranormal while on the property

164
00:05:39,350 --> 00:05:38,720
so i simply dismissed it the day went by

165
00:05:41,749 --> 00:05:39,360
without an

166
00:05:42,790 --> 00:05:41,759
incident and in fact it was quite

167
00:05:45,189 --> 00:05:42,800
enjoyable

168
00:05:47,110 --> 00:05:45,199
it was starting to get late and i needed

169
00:05:49,270 --> 00:05:47,120
to get up early the next morning

170
00:05:50,550 --> 00:05:49,280
so we thanked them for their hospitality

171
00:05:52,469 --> 00:05:50,560
and drove home

172
00:05:54,790 --> 00:05:52,479
i really didn't think much about what i

173
00:05:55,590 --> 00:05:54,800
was told and quickly went to sleep that

174
00:05:57,749 --> 00:05:55,600
night

175
00:05:59,909 --> 00:05:57,759
the next morning i woke early and got

176
00:06:02,230 --> 00:05:59,919
myself together because i had several

177
00:06:04,550 --> 00:06:02,240
homes scheduled to show that day

178
00:06:06,950 --> 00:06:04,560
i needed to first stop by the office so

179
00:06:09,350 --> 00:06:06,960
i could pick up the newest listings

180
00:06:11,510 --> 00:06:09,360
when i arrived at the office i noticed a

181
00:06:13,270 --> 00:06:11,520
police car in the parking lot

182
00:06:15,189 --> 00:06:13,280
i walked into the office and was

183
00:06:15,830 --> 00:06:15,199
immediately approached by the office

184
00:06:17,909 --> 00:06:15,840
manager

185
00:06:19,110 --> 00:06:17,919
and told that the authorities wanted to

186
00:06:20,950 --> 00:06:19,120
talk to me

187
00:06:23,990 --> 00:06:20,960
i introduced myself to the police

188
00:06:25,830 --> 00:06:24,000
officers and asked what was going on

189
00:06:28,469 --> 00:06:25,840
one of them handed me a photograph of

190
00:06:31,189 --> 00:06:28,479
the couple they were lying on the ground

191
00:06:32,710 --> 00:06:31,199
side by side and obviously dead they

192
00:06:35,110 --> 00:06:32,720
were both very pale

193
00:06:36,710 --> 00:06:35,120
like all the blood had been drained i

194
00:06:38,790 --> 00:06:36,720
acknowledged that i had sold them the

195
00:06:40,070 --> 00:06:38,800
property and that we had socialized the

196
00:06:41,749 --> 00:06:40,080
previous day

197
00:06:43,909 --> 00:06:41,759
he explained that their bodies were

198
00:06:44,390 --> 00:06:43,919
found by a police officer the previous

199
00:06:46,950 --> 00:06:44,400
night

200
00:06:48,870 --> 00:06:46,960
after a 911 call was placed for a

201
00:06:51,430 --> 00:06:48,880
disturbance and that they were found

202
00:06:53,670 --> 00:06:51,440
laying in the barn as seen in the photo

203
00:06:54,710 --> 00:06:53,680
the only information i could provide was

204
00:06:56,390 --> 00:06:54,720
what they told me

205
00:06:59,189 --> 00:06:56,400
and that they thought the property was

206
00:07:01,589 --> 00:06:59,199
haunted over next few days i was told

207
00:07:03,189 --> 00:07:01,599
that they both died from natural causes

208
00:07:06,070 --> 00:07:03,199
and that there would be no further

209
00:07:07,990 --> 00:07:06,080
investigation that's all i was ever told

210
00:07:10,390 --> 00:07:08,000
and that's all i would ever find

211
00:07:12,390 --> 00:07:10,400
out i asked a physician if it was

212
00:07:14,390 --> 00:07:12,400
possible that two people could be scared

213
00:07:16,309 --> 00:07:14,400
to death at the same time

214
00:07:18,390 --> 00:07:16,319
the look he shot back at me was of otter

215
00:07:19,430 --> 00:07:18,400
bewilderment which was followed by

216
00:07:20,950 --> 00:07:19,440
laughter

217
00:07:23,270 --> 00:07:20,960
he said that it was practically

218
00:07:26,150 --> 00:07:23,280
impossible to scare a person to death

219
00:07:28,070 --> 00:07:26,160
let alone two people at the same time

220
00:07:30,070 --> 00:07:28,080
since that incident i moved to the west

221
00:07:32,629 --> 00:07:30,080
coast and no longer sell real

222
00:07:34,550 --> 00:07:32,639
estate i know their debts will haunt me

223
00:07:36,550 --> 00:07:34,560
for the rest of my life

224
00:07:38,550 --> 00:07:36,560
i wouldn't feel so bad if i hadn't

225
00:07:39,990 --> 00:07:38,560
dismissed what they said so quickly and

226
00:07:41,990 --> 00:07:40,000
so out of hand

227
00:07:43,990 --> 00:07:42,000
i feel that something on that property

228
00:07:52,869 --> 00:07:44,000
frightened them so bad that it resulted

229
00:07:57,350 --> 00:07:55,430
man in black hoodie hunting until i got

230
00:07:58,309 --> 00:07:57,360
married i was always on the fence about

231
00:08:00,309 --> 00:07:58,319
ghosts

232
00:08:02,150 --> 00:08:00,319
according to my parents we lived in a

233
00:08:03,350 --> 00:08:02,160
haunted house and i had some odd

234
00:08:05,430 --> 00:08:03,360
experiences

235
00:08:07,830 --> 00:08:05,440
i had always believed in god but was

236
00:08:09,990 --> 00:08:07,840
unsure of ghosts until i got married

237
00:08:12,309 --> 00:08:10,000
when i got married my wife and i moved

238
00:08:14,070 --> 00:08:12,319
into a nice little townhouse when we

239
00:08:15,909 --> 00:08:14,080
originally were looking at it i got a

240
00:08:18,309 --> 00:08:15,919
strange vibe in the place

241
00:08:19,990 --> 00:08:18,319
i took it as nerves when we moved and

242
00:08:22,230 --> 00:08:20,000
the feelings got worse

243
00:08:24,070 --> 00:08:22,240
it always felt like something was there

244
00:08:25,990 --> 00:08:24,080
i would always hear what sounded like

245
00:08:27,830 --> 00:08:26,000
talk radio in our place

246
00:08:29,670 --> 00:08:27,840
whenever i laid my head down i would

247
00:08:31,670 --> 00:08:29,680
hear it as soon as i sat

248
00:08:33,430 --> 00:08:31,680
up you could not hear it i would hear

249
00:08:35,269 --> 00:08:33,440
footsteps in my room when i would be

250
00:08:37,269 --> 00:08:35,279
downstairs by myself

251
00:08:39,509 --> 00:08:37,279
while all this was going on i had just

252
00:08:41,909 --> 00:08:39,519
started working in a soap factory

253
00:08:43,829 --> 00:08:41,919
i worked third shift on my shift we

254
00:08:45,590 --> 00:08:43,839
would all see this man in black

255
00:08:47,030 --> 00:08:45,600
it looked like a man in a black hoodie

256
00:08:49,110 --> 00:08:47,040
with black glasses

257
00:08:50,550 --> 00:08:49,120
he would always kind of power walk past

258
00:08:52,710 --> 00:08:50,560
the room we worked in

259
00:08:53,990 --> 00:08:52,720
after a few months i noticed this black

260
00:08:55,829 --> 00:08:54,000
figure was gone

261
00:08:58,230 --> 00:08:55,839
we all noticed it and thought nothing of

262
00:09:00,310 --> 00:08:58,240
it a few weeks later it was thanksgiving

263
00:09:02,550 --> 00:09:00,320
and i was on my way to my mom's

264
00:09:03,590 --> 00:09:02,560
i forgot my wedding ring and ran back to

265
00:09:05,990 --> 00:09:03,600
my place

266
00:09:07,590 --> 00:09:06,000
as i ran inside i closed the door behind

267
00:09:10,070 --> 00:09:07,600
me but not completely

268
00:09:10,870 --> 00:09:10,080
i was the only one there it was close to

269
00:09:12,949 --> 00:09:10,880
a crack

270
00:09:13,990 --> 00:09:12,959
when i came back downstairs i went to

271
00:09:16,389 --> 00:09:14,000
pull the door open

272
00:09:18,470 --> 00:09:16,399
but it would not budge not only did the

273
00:09:19,509 --> 00:09:18,480
door close completely but the deadbolt

274
00:09:21,509 --> 00:09:19,519
activated

275
00:09:23,670 --> 00:09:21,519
my wife and i never used a deadbolt

276
00:09:25,670 --> 00:09:23,680
because it was so hard to activate

277
00:09:27,509 --> 00:09:25,680
a few weeks later i was getting ready

278
00:09:29,750 --> 00:09:27,519
for work when i seen the man in black

279
00:09:30,949 --> 00:09:29,760
pass from my guest room past my bathroom

280
00:09:33,190 --> 00:09:30,959
into my bedroom

281
00:09:34,949 --> 00:09:33,200
he was moving swiftly from there on

282
00:09:37,269 --> 00:09:34,959
things kicked into high gear

283
00:09:38,949 --> 00:09:37,279
the feeling of being watched got worse

284
00:09:40,470 --> 00:09:38,959
you know that feeling as a kid you got

285
00:09:42,310 --> 00:09:40,480
when you pissed off your parents

286
00:09:44,870 --> 00:09:42,320
and you could tell they were mad that

287
00:09:47,590 --> 00:09:44,880
was how the atmosphere was in my place

288
00:09:49,670 --> 00:09:47,600
my alarms would change i originally used

289
00:09:51,110 --> 00:09:49,680
to have three alarms to wake me up i am

290
00:09:53,269 --> 00:09:51,120
not good at getting up

291
00:09:54,630 --> 00:09:53,279
one particular incident all my alarms

292
00:09:56,470 --> 00:09:54,640
were be set for buzzer

293
00:09:59,030 --> 00:09:56,480
and i woke up an hour after they went

294
00:10:00,310 --> 00:09:59,040
off alarms were set to radio and turned

295
00:10:02,870 --> 00:10:00,320
all the way down

296
00:10:04,949 --> 00:10:02,880
one night i came home early from work my

297
00:10:07,030 --> 00:10:04,959
wife got up out of bed and as she was

298
00:10:08,790 --> 00:10:07,040
gone i noticed what looked like shadows

299
00:10:10,710 --> 00:10:08,800
of trees swaying on my way

300
00:10:12,630 --> 00:10:10,720
i immediately got scared because there

301
00:10:15,350 --> 00:10:12,640
were no trees behind my place

302
00:10:17,430 --> 00:10:15,360
and it was not windy outside in fact as

303
00:10:18,310 --> 00:10:17,440
soon as my wife came back the shadows

304
00:10:20,630 --> 00:10:18,320
were gone

305
00:10:22,470 --> 00:10:20,640
i was wide awake when this happened it

306
00:10:24,389 --> 00:10:22,480
was too early for to sleep

307
00:10:26,230 --> 00:10:24,399
i also began to have a recurring

308
00:10:27,670 --> 00:10:26,240
nightmare of being held down in my bed

309
00:10:30,230 --> 00:10:27,680
by this little girl

310
00:10:32,870 --> 00:10:30,240
i refused to sleep in our room keep on

311
00:10:35,269 --> 00:10:32,880
mind it was daylight out even if my wife

312
00:10:37,190 --> 00:10:35,279
was home i would not sleep upstairs

313
00:10:38,949 --> 00:10:37,200
during the day when i would try to sleep

314
00:10:39,990 --> 00:10:38,959
on the couch i would hear footsteps

315
00:10:42,310 --> 00:10:40,000
upstairs

316
00:10:43,990 --> 00:10:42,320
no one was home it got to a point where

317
00:10:46,230 --> 00:10:44,000
i never slept anymore

318
00:10:47,829 --> 00:10:46,240
one night after my wife and had just got

319
00:10:50,230 --> 00:10:47,839
over an argument i laid down

320
00:10:52,150 --> 00:10:50,240
upstairs against my will i was wide

321
00:10:54,150 --> 00:10:52,160
awake when my foot my grabbed

322
00:10:56,389 --> 00:10:54,160
i looked over and my wife was curled up

323
00:10:57,990 --> 00:10:56,399
asleep it was not long after that

324
00:10:59,829 --> 00:10:58,000
incident we moved out

325
00:11:01,829 --> 00:10:59,839
even though my wife really had no

326
00:11:04,230 --> 00:11:01,839
incidents i was becoming a wreck

327
00:11:05,829 --> 00:11:04,240
i had other experiences after this but

328
00:11:07,829 --> 00:11:05,839
it never felt like i was being

329
00:11:12,829 --> 00:11:07,839
personally targeted like i was in our

330
00:11:12,839 --> 00:11:15,910
jm

331
00:11:20,949 --> 00:11:18,790
the zombie ghost on roberts road this

332
00:11:23,190 --> 00:11:20,959
happened in 1992

it was around three in the morning i was

334
00:11:27,990 --> 00:11:25,600
coming home from a party with a friend

335
00:11:29,990 --> 00:11:28,000
we were driving down roberts road and i

336
00:11:32,230 --> 00:11:30,000
know you're thinking resurrection mary

337
00:11:34,230 --> 00:11:32,240
but this has nothing to do with her

338
00:11:35,190 --> 00:11:34,240
there was somebody standing by the curb

339
00:11:37,350 --> 00:11:35,200
with a lantern

340
00:11:38,630 --> 00:11:37,360
and he got in front of the car and we

341
00:11:41,190 --> 00:11:38,640
slowed down

342
00:11:43,110 --> 00:11:41,200
he walked toward the car we looked he

it was stained to look like blood or

347
00:11:52,230 --> 00:11:51,279
whatever this was really gruesome

348
00:11:54,949 --> 00:11:52,240
looking

349
00:11:56,069 --> 00:11:54,959
his mouth was a gape his eyes were like

350
00:11:58,790 --> 00:11:56,079
rolled in back of his

351
00:12:01,350 --> 00:11:58,800
head his leg was missing and you could

352
00:12:03,110 --> 00:12:01,360
see like a translucent face through him

353
00:12:04,710 --> 00:12:03,120
we just looked at each other and were

354
00:12:07,590 --> 00:12:04,720
just like whoa

355
00:12:08,629 --> 00:12:07,600
we drove on he walked in back of the car

356
00:12:10,949 --> 00:12:08,639
in the other car

357
00:12:12,150 --> 00:12:10,959
we looked in back and the other car went

358
00:12:17,030 --> 00:12:12,160
right through him

359
00:12:19,190 --> 00:12:17,040
and he was right by the side of us

360
00:12:20,629 --> 00:12:19,200
we drove and he continued to walk across

361
00:12:21,430 --> 00:12:20,639
the street and there was another

362
00:12:23,430 --> 00:12:21,440
cemetery

363
00:12:24,790 --> 00:12:23,440

00:12:26,710 --> 00:12:24,800
other cemetery

365
00:12:28,949 --> 00:12:26,720
and there was another car in back that

366
00:12:31,670 --> 00:12:28,959
drove right through this apparition

367
00:12:33,030 --> 00:12:31,680
i mean it blew me away for like a year

368
00:12:35,509 --> 00:12:33,040
i'm telling you

369
00:12:36,870 --> 00:12:35,519

police

373
00:12:44,629 --> 00:12:42,480
but they didn't want to get into it and

374
00:12:52,470 --> 00:12:44,639
then i called a famous chicago-based

375
00:12:54,870 --> 00:12:52,480
paranormal investigator

00:13:03,430 --> 00:13:01,200
i didn't know that when i took this job

380
00:13:04,230 --> 00:13:03,440
i was an overnight dj at a classic rock

381
00:13:06,310 --> 00:13:04,240
station

382
00:13:07,910 --> 00:13:06,320
it was k sky radio in deadwood south

383
00:13:11,269 --> 00:13:07,920
dakota the address

384
00:13:13,509 --> 00:13:11,279
believe it or not dead sirius was 666

385
00:13:15,430 --> 00:13:13,519
main street deadwood we thought it was a

386
00:13:17,550 --> 00:13:15,440
portal for ghosts because of the strange

387
00:13:20,470 --> 00:13:17,560
address in deadwood south dakota

388
00:13:22,310 --> 00:13:20,480
666 main street but everybody that

389
00:13:24,310 --> 00:13:22,320
worked at that radio station knew about

390
00:13:26,550 --> 00:13:24,320
a ghost named not smiley

391
00:13:28,949 --> 00:13:26,560
he was a dentist from the 1880s to the

392
00:13:30,790 --> 00:13:28,959
1920s in deadwood and he had an old

393
00:13:31,430 --> 00:13:30,800
practice at the location of the radio

394
00:13:33,430 --> 00:13:31,440
station

395
00:13:34,949 --> 00:13:33,440
on the second floor or where the radio

396
00:13:36,710 --> 00:13:34,959
station was located

397
00:13:38,870 --> 00:13:36,720
we will locate it right across from the

398
00:13:40,870 --> 00:13:38,880
number 10 saloon where while bill hecock

399
00:13:43,590 --> 00:13:40,880
was shot and killed by jack nicole

400
00:13:44,870 --> 00:13:43,600
you know in the 1800s there was a lot of

401
00:13:46,870 --> 00:13:44,880
history in that town

402
00:13:48,470 --> 00:13:46,880
a lot of people met untimely deaths in

403
00:13:49,990 --> 00:13:48,480
deadwood south dakota

404
00:13:51,829 --> 00:13:50,000
that's why i think there were a lot of

405
00:13:53,430 --> 00:13:51,839
ghosts in that town too

406
00:13:55,430 --> 00:13:53,440
and one of them used to hang out at the

407
00:13:56,069 --> 00:13:55,440
radio station and do crazy things at

408
00:13:57,910 --> 00:13:56,079
night

409
00:13:59,990 --> 00:13:57,920
you remember the old ap teletype

410
00:14:01,910 --> 00:14:00,000
machines one night we were there and the

411
00:14:02,550 --> 00:14:01,920
dentist office was converted into a

412
00:14:04,550 --> 00:14:02,560
newsroom

413
00:14:06,710 --> 00:14:04,560
and through double pane glass we saw a

414
00:14:08,790 --> 00:14:06,720
man standing there in old west garb

415
00:14:10,710 --> 00:14:08,800
we thought that was pretty strange as we

416
00:14:11,269 --> 00:14:10,720
walked around the corner and nobody was

417
00:14:13,509 --> 00:14:11,279
there

418
00:14:15,430 --> 00:14:13,519
he was gone and then another time we

419
00:14:17,350 --> 00:14:15,440
were working there for whatever reason

420
00:14:19,269 --> 00:14:17,360
whenever we played led zeppelin's whole

421
00:14:20,870 --> 00:14:19,279
lot of love things would came to kick up

422
00:14:23,030 --> 00:14:20,880
at that radio station

423
00:14:24,389 --> 00:14:23,040
crazy things would happen we would have

424
00:14:26,710 --> 00:14:24,399
clocks on the wall would turn

425
00:14:28,550 --> 00:14:26,720
upside down the old cards that we used

426
00:14:30,629 --> 00:14:28,560
to play that had commercials on them

427
00:14:31,829 --> 00:14:30,639
we find them stacked weird or turned

428
00:14:34,310 --> 00:14:31,839
upside down

429
00:14:35,829 --> 00:14:34,320
just all kinds of stuff remember how we

430
00:14:37,910 --> 00:14:35,839
used to stack those

431
00:14:39,430 --> 00:14:37,920
well they would be all changed around as

432
00:14:40,389 --> 00:14:39,440
soon as you walked out of the room and

433
00:14:42,389 --> 00:14:40,399
came back

434
00:14:44,150 --> 00:14:42,399
so it was just crazy things like that

435
00:14:45,750 --> 00:14:44,160
used to happen when you worked overnight

436
00:14:47,350 --> 00:14:45,760
at that radio station

437
00:14:49,430 --> 00:14:47,360
through the corner of your eyes you'd

438
00:14:51,269 --> 00:14:49,440
see dark figures walking down the hall

439
00:14:53,590 --> 00:14:51,279
doorways would creak and slam by

440
00:14:55,750 --> 00:14:53,600
themselves one night i was working late

441
00:14:57,509 --> 00:14:55,760
during a blizzard and about 3 30 in the

442
00:14:59,189 --> 00:14:57,519
morning i heard a really loud demonic

443
00:15:01,030 --> 00:14:59,199
roar come from down the hallway

444
00:15:02,389 --> 00:15:01,040
so i thought it was one of my friends

445
00:15:04,389 --> 00:15:02,399
playing a trick on me

446
00:15:05,750 --> 00:15:04,399
i went running down the hall to see what

447
00:15:07,670 --> 00:15:05,760
if i could catch him

448
00:15:09,350 --> 00:15:07,680
i walked down the stairs i looked out

449
00:15:10,470 --> 00:15:09,360
the door and there was no tracks or

450
00:15:12,470 --> 00:15:10,480
anything in the snow

451
00:15:13,670 --> 00:15:12,480
so i knew that nobody else was at the

452
00:15:15,509 --> 00:15:13,680
station other than me

453
00:15:21,350 --> 00:15:15,519
so it came to freak me out the rest of

454
00:15:24,790 --> 00:15:23,910
