1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,000
deals with controversial subjects.

2
00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:05,000
The theories expressed are not the only possible interpretation.

3
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:09,000
The viewer is invited to make a judgment based on all available information.

4
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:15,000
Tonight, on a special sightings, we search for ghosts in America's most haunted locations.

5
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:16,000
This thing has overtaken my home.

6
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:21,000
And what our team of paranormal experts and psychics uncover, even we can't explain.

7
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:23,000
It was evil.

8
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:27,000
An exclusive sightings investigation, hunting for ghostly apparitions.

9
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:29,000
Next.

10
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:01,000
Welcome to Sightings.

11
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:03,000
I'm Tim White.

12
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:07,000
Tonight, a special edition of Sightings dedicated to ghosts.

13
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:12,000
We'll help a viewer contend with a ghostly presence she believes is haunting her home.

14
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:16,000
And we'll show you the anatomy of a scientific ghost investigation.

15
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:21,000
But first, a trip to 100-year-old Manrasa Castle in Port Townsend, Washington.

16
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:25,000
It's a former Jesuit seminary where people try to make contact with what they believe

17
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:28,000
is the tortured spirits of the dead.

18
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:35,000
It's not unusual for Seattle-based photographer Steve Holderman to bring his cameras here to the Manrasa Castle

19
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:37,000
in historic Port Townsend, Washington.

20
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:41,000
The castle is over 100 years old, but Steve doesn't come here for the architecture.

21
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:45,000
We came to the castle today to try to capture ghosts.

22
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:49,000
We want to see images on film that we can't explain.

23
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:53,000
A paranormal agenda is quite common for the guests at the Manrasa.

24
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:59,000
People come from all over the country because they believe the third-floor castle turret is an energy vortex

25
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:03,000
that allows spirits to travel between dimensions.

26
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:09,000
People commonly come from all around to see the ghosts.

27
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:13,000
There are people in Seattle that come here regularly to see ghosts, especially on equinoxes.

28
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:18,000
And Halloween night, you will always find somebody occupying 306.

29
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:24,000
The third floor of the Manrasa Castle is supposedly haunted by several different ghosts.

30
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:28,000
Historical documents show that at least two people committed suicide here.

31
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:32,000
In room 306, a woman jumped to her death in 1921.

32
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:37,000
Room 302, the famous turret room, is popular with amateur ghost hunters

33
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:42,000
who request the room months in advance and record their experiences in this special book.

34
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:46,000
Records indicate that when the castle was used as a seminary,

35
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:50,000
one disturbed Jesuit priest hanged himself here.

36
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:59,000
If suicide is somehow a bridge to the paranormal dimension,

37
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:06,000
then that would explain the frightening apparitions with which hotel guests and employees report having come face-to-face.

38
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:12,000
People are often introduced to the castle by newspaper accounts or from former guests.

39
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:18,000
Rod Freeman and Sue Johnston come here regularly with their teenage sons and their friends.

40
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:22,000
They all claim to communicate with spirits through their Ouija board.

41
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:26,000
Definitely the darkest feeling that comes out is this Jesuit priest.

42
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:31,000
We decided to ask him for page numbers in the Bible because that's easy to get through the Ouija board.

43
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:34,000
There's a row of numbers there, sure enough.

44
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:43,000
He revealed to us a page number and it's something that went along with the idea that he was perhaps evil or perverted in his life.

45
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:46,000
And this is what brought him to the point of suicide.

46
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:50,000
And we found a passage here in Psalm 101,

47
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:53,000
A perverse nature shall be absent from me, I will not entertain.

48
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:57,000
Evil I will silence him who secretly slanders his neighbor,

49
00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:00,000
I will not tolerate one who is conceited and arrogant.

50
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:03,000
So perhaps he's trying to tell us something about himself.

51
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:07,000
People want to be scared, people want to be scared.

52
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:15,000
That's why we're here, that's why we come to experience what others have written about in these diaries that are in the rooms.

53
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:19,000
Sue and her friends have had eerie experiences here.

54
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:22,000
You will find their paranormal accounts in this hotel diary.

55
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:26,000
I've seen Kate and I'm pretty sure that she'd exist.

56
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:29,000
You could make out a face in the shadow.

57
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:36,000
You just, you're frozen and just wait for a morning to come so you can share your experiences.

58
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:39,000
You don't dare get up, you're too afraid to get up.

59
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:44,000
The forlorn ghost of Kate is by far the most common sighting reported at the castle.

60
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:50,000
Although Kate lost her life in room 306, she's often reported lingering in the turd room.

61
00:04:51,000 --> 00:05:00,000
With so much haunting activity in such a concentrated area, sightings arranged for psychic Rhonda Griffin to come here.

62
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:04,000
Psychics claim to be able to tune in to a ghost's paranormal channel.

63
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:10,000
Rhonda has a history of investigating hauntings and asked to be told nothing about the history of the castle.

64
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:16,000
As a professional psychic, Rhonda allows us to see publicly how other guests have reported feeling privately.

65
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:21,000
It's right in here. I can feel something right in here. It comes right up to the back of my neck.

66
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:26,000
Someone's crying, someone's crying here. Someone's waiting here.

67
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:38,000
Did she jump out this window?

68
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:46,000
The picture I just saw, I saw somebody fall out of this, fall out of a window.

69
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:50,000
And when I saw it, my heart just jumped.

70
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:02,000
Rhonda claimed to be tapping into another dimension.

71
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:08,000
With great emotion, she was able to articulate the tremendous pain and suffering she felt reliving Kate's suicide.

72
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:14,000
Rhonda was describing in great detail shocking events that other guests had only reported seeing briefly.

73
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:20,000
The psychic energy Rhonda was experiencing led her down the hallway to the turd room.

74
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:25,000
I'm feeling an energy vortex coming right down through the center of this.

75
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:32,000
Now, a lot of times, the way things are built, they'll help to amplify particular energies.

76
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:36,000
Now, most places are built on what's called lay lines, okay?

77
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:39,000
And it's a concentration of energy.

78
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:44,000
Where these lay lines cross is where energy vortexes are created.

79
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:49,000
Rhonda felt that the energy vortex was at its strongest in the castle's attic.

80
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:53,000
Then she began to sense the period when the man race was a seminary.

81
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:57,000
It feels like right about here, and I'm like walking through like a time warp.

82
00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:02,000
And it feels like I'm going back to another time that this place was very different.

83
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:07,000
The structure was very different. It was used. It didn't have a family.

84
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:11,000
I don't feel a family. Oh, I don't feel a family.

85
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:17,000
I'm not the base thought to attract energy. I despise it as a practice.

86
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:24,000
I'm watching a man sitting on the floor.

87
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:29,000
He's isolated. He's alone. He's holy. I see him.

88
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:41,000
He's almost like he's seated, and he would come up here to...

89
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:48,000
God. Oh, God.

90
00:07:54,000 --> 00:08:00,000
It's not... It's not right. It's despair.

91
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:08,000
It's a feeling of hopelessness, helplessness.

92
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:13,000
He's very religious person. He's...

93
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:30,000
I see a body swinging. I see a body swinging from a rope.

94
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:37,000
More messages came from the Jesuit priests through Rambe.

95
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:43,000
They were the very same page numbers for the Psalms that Sue Johnston reported finding on the Ouija board weeks before.

96
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:45,000
103.

97
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:49,000
Bless the Lord, O my soul, and all that is within me, bless his holy name.

98
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:53,000
Bless the Lord, O my soul, and give him that, all his benefits.

99
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:59,000
All your nicotine, all your diseases, who redeems your life from the grave,

100
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:02,000
who crowns you with loving kindness and...

101
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:06,000
You watch someone do this, and you have to think in the back of your mind,

102
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:10,000
well, this could be some kind of a put-on type of deal.

103
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:14,000
But then she came up with a couple things tonight that were unexplainable.

104
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:17,000
And how'd she come up with the page number in the Bible?

105
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:21,000
I can't explain that. No one else can either. It just happened.

106
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:29,000
After taking over 1,000 photographs at the castle, Steve processed the film in his Seattle studio.

107
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:36,000
Using five different types of black and white and three kinds of high-speed color film, he discovered something he can't explain.

108
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:41,000
This was taken on the same camera, the same film stock.

109
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:44,000
It's just the first frame, it's the second frame.

110
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:49,000
And as you can see right here, there's a weird little bit of density on the film.

111
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:53,000
I've looked at it with a loop and I can't tell what it is.

112
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:59,000
And on this one, you can't see it. I just can't explain why this is like it is.

113
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:06,000
Some experts claim that this optical phenomenon is typical of other ghost photographs.

114
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:11,000
The castle seems to touch everyone who travels here with an open mind.

115
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:14,000
Is there an energy vortex at work?

116
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:19,000
Believers insist that it trip to man-race at castle, especially during a full moon.

117
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:22,000
It's like taking a cruise to another dimension.

118
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:34,000
Of the thousands of photographs he's taken, Steve Holderman believes the ones he took during our sightings investigation show the clearest evidence of haunting activity.

119
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:39,000
No one's been able to explain the images in the photos using conventional means,

120
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:44,000
a camera malfunction or a light leak or bad film have all been eliminated.

121
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:49,000
The cause of the strange images in the photographs remains a bona fide mystery.

122
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:50,000
Coming up.

123
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:52,000
This thing has overtaken my home.

124
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:54,000
A family is terrorized by a sinister entity.

125
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:56,000
The antlers, evil.

126
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:59,000
Is this its ghostly image captured on film?

127
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:08,000
The sightings hotline was instituted to offer our viewers a chance to bring their paranormal experiences directly to our investigative team.

128
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:15,000
We receive hundreds of phone calls every week and a large portion of those calls are about ghosts, polar guists and haunting phenomena.

129
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:21,000
We screen every call, looking for those cases where we feel sightings might make a difference.

130
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:28,000
It's very unusual to watch the black ghost, the good man really bad.

131
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:30,000
More than we need to cause to my guy.

132
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:34,000
My sightings are experienced by anything like this, my entire life.

133
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:41,000
When we first began offering our hotline service, we were astonished at the number of people who called to report haunting phenomena.

134
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:46,000
James Brown of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania shared his personal haunting experience with us.

135
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:52,000
We've had a ghost who run up and down our steps while everybody's there and watched it.

136
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:57,000
Hi, I'm calling from Northern Kentucky.

137
00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:01,000
We have a spirit in our house and it's appeared to us as a little boy.

138
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:05,000
One of my sons sees it almost nightly in the form of a clown.

139
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:07,000
My son's terrified of this.

140
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:18,000
Just outside of Cincinnati in this Northern Kentucky suburb, the Thomasson family called sightings about a presence they feel is tormenting their lives.

141
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:26,000
On the surface, this young family appears to be coping well, but scratch this thin veneer and a stalker truth emerges.

142
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:30,000
I can't do anything about it. This thing has overtaken my home.

143
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:35,000
We've heard voices, laughing, things have been moved.

144
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:39,000
It was evil. I mean, you could feel it.

145
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:44,000
The nightmare began in 1991 when the Thomasons moved into this house.

146
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:47,000
They claim strange phenomena hit them immediately.

147
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:50,000
Doors that had been closed and locked started slamming.

148
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:54,000
Objects came off the walls and Kathy felt a mysterious presence watching her.

149
00:12:54,000 --> 00:13:00,000
I was in the bathroom and he was looking in at me as I was taking a shower.

150
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:03,000
I turned a look and he disappeared.

151
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:14,000
Things got much worse for the family when three-year-old Mikey started describing apparitions in his bedroom at night, an apparition that took the form of a clown.

152
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:19,000
He's just totally, deathly afraid to be in his room by himself.

153
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:25,000
He will sit there and cry and scream that he's scared and he would say, the clown is in my room.

154
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:29,000
Why is it that the image of a clown is tormenting this family?

155
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:36,000
The Thomasons believe it may be the spirit of a boy who followed them home after a weekend trip to what had been a country club.

156
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:42,000
We had come here to see what was going on because we had heard the rumors of devil worship.

157
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:46,000
It's since burned down. It was arson.

158
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:50,000
But we think this is where we picked up the spirit of the little boy.

159
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:56,000
Many parapsychologists theorize that spirits can attach themselves to living people for security.

160
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:59,000
But why then would the little boy be tormenting the family?

161
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:09,000
It just seems like it wants us apart and it wants me out of the picture. I feel that very strongly.

162
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:15,000
They need something done because it's going to end up tearing up their family.

163
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:24,000
In desperation, Cathy called the sightings hotline. We responded by asking Dr. William Rowe to survey the home using scientific instrumentation.

164
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:39,000
I brought in a magnetometer that measures magnetic fields and we have found that psychic experiences seem to occur in regions where there are strong magnetic fields.

165
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:44,000
Unusually high levels of electromagnetism were found in the hallway between the two boys' rooms.

166
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:47,000
So we have a high magnetic field in this area.

167
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:53,000
Then he interviewed each family member. He was particularly sensitive to the fears expressed by Mikey.

168
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:55,000
You like the clown or you don't like him?

169
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:56,000
I don't like him.

170
00:14:56,000 --> 00:15:00,000
Show me where you saw the clown. Just point to it.

171
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:01,000
That.

172
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:03,000
Okay. All right.

173
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:09,000
The results of Dr. Rowe's investigation failed to prove conclusively that a ghost exists in the home.

174
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:12,000
He did however have a recommendation based on his findings.

175
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:17,000
They need to get rid of the strong magnetic fields in the bedrooms of the two boys.

176
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:22,000
The main electrical wires coming into the home are located directly adjacent to the boys' rooms.

177
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:28,000
There may be a connection between this electric source and the experiences of Jimmy and Mikey.

178
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:34,000
Psychic Irene Hughes was also part of our sightings investigation.

179
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:41,000
She carefully examined each room and tried to telepathically communicate with any spirits in the home.

180
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:46,000
Irene then worked with Mikey, guiding him through a series of specially designed exercises.

181
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:50,000
Her goal was to help him cope with his fears.

182
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:51,000
Clown leave.

183
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:52,000
Clown leave.

184
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:55,000
Okay. We're going to tell you bye-bye.

185
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:56,000
Bye-bye.

186
00:15:56,000 --> 00:16:02,000
That night, for the first time in more than a year, nothing unusual happened in the Thomason home.

187
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:05,000
Apparently what she did took care of the problem.

188
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:12,000
There were no unusual sounds, no bouncing around, no footsteps, there was nothing.

189
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:18,000
After Irene Hughes left the house, our investigative team took more videotape and photographs at the site.

190
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:23,000
Later, when the still camera film was developed, something strange appeared.

191
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:28,000
This photograph shows an unusual and unexplained formation on the right side of the frame.

192
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:33,000
Ghost experts we showed at two said this image is consistent with other alleged ghost photographs.

193
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:38,000
As soon as we discovered this new photographic evidence, we alerted the family.

194
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:45,000
Although they feel the ghost is now out of their lives, they promise to keep us informed if the haunting phenomenon returns.

195
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:47,000
Coming up, a sightings exclusive.

196
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:53,000
A team of paranormal experts attempts to contact a frightening ghost haunting this California landmark.

197
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:54,000
Next.

198
00:16:55,000 --> 00:17:02,000
In previous ghost investigations, we've often called in the experts at the Office of Scientific Investigation and Research.

199
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:06,000
But in this case, they contacted us with an important new investigation.

200
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:13,000
In Ventura, California, there have been unsettling reports of spirits haunting what was a turn of the century hospital.

201
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:18,000
And now, the haunting activity appears to be spreading to the surrounding neighborhood.

202
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:22,000
The haunting began at a city landmark.

203
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:27,000
High above Ventura, California, the old barred hospital has been the scene of numerous ghost sightings.

204
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:32,000
And now, reports of haunting activity are coming from almost every building on this block.

205
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:41,000
Local residents are scared, and they've called in Christopher Chacon, Peter Ackroyd and John Berry from the Office of Scientific Investigation and Research.

206
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:47,000
We were contacted by various people in this community because there had been a variety of strange events occurring, including apparitions,

207
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:51,000
or ghosts if you want to call them. We haven't been able to discern that specifically.

208
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:56,000
But some pretty spooky kind of stuff has been going on up here, so we thought we'd check it out.

209
00:17:56,000 --> 00:18:04,000
It opened up this far for fully a beat, and then it closed again.

210
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:12,000
I was sleeping. It was about 2.30 in the morning, and a voice said, hey, woke me up, and I felt a tap on the shoulder.

211
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:17,000
He had a very cold, strange look in his face, almost very empty.

212
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:28,000
For the last several years, residents claim that an entity, or entities, have made the presence felt to those who live and work around the hospital, now converted to offices.

213
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:32,000
Tina, a former office worker, claims to have encountered several spirits.

214
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:36,000
Her identity is hidden because Tina fears were prizels from the spirits.

215
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:49,000
I felt a cold hand touch my shoulder, and I looked in the direction, and standing there was this old man with white, gray hair, and I just remember his face was very defined.

216
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:55,000
This startled me so bad, I just stormed down the stairs and headed out the door, and the door slammed shut.

217
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:59,000
And I looked, and the guy was there again.

218
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:08,000
Some believe this old man, who has been spotted on several different occasions, is actually the spirit of Cephas Bard, founder of the original hospital.

219
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:19,000
It's assumed it's Dr. Bard. I'm told that there's another presence, which is a young girl. She was apparently run over by a milk wagon or something, and she died in this hospital as well.

220
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:24,000
But there are other theories about the paranormal activity plaguing this neighborhood.

221
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:31,000
I have found that ghosts seem to be active in areas where you have different cultures in conflict.

222
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:39,000
And here we have the Indian people, the Spaniards, Mexicans, Chinese, Yankees, all sorts of different people.

223
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:45,000
And when you have these groups, sometimes a bloody confrontation that leaves things behind.

224
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:51,000
The structures in this Manchura neighborhood were built on the site of an ancient Chubash Indian burial ground.

225
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:54,000
Could this be the source of the haunting?

226
00:19:54,000 --> 00:20:02,000
You were walking through the parking lot, and you looked over to one side, and there was a group of Native Americans standing there in paint.

227
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:05,000
No clothes, but with some sort of paint on?

228
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:10,000
Right. And I remember beads, and there was men, and there was children, women.

229
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:17,000
I got in my car, started to drive away, and as I backed up, I looked in the window, and all of a sudden, just like that, no one was there.

230
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:22,000
Later that night, I participated in an overnight surveillance of the old hospital.

231
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:26,000
The equipment that you're using is pretty high-tech stuff. This is the what now?

232
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:33,000
These are Generation 3 night vision goggles, and these are able to give us complete visual capability and total darkness.

233
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:43,000
So in complete darkness, I could still see something. It's really pretty amazing. You can see everything, and it's all washed in green light,

234
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:50,000
but you can see quite a bit of tail. Would I see everything I could normally see in daylight here?

235
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:53,000
That and more, I'd say. You can see more?

236
00:20:53,000 --> 00:21:01,000
In the infrared mode, it picks up aspects of the luminous environment that we can't perceive with a normal naked eye.

237
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:10,000
Peter Acroyd and the other members of the OSIR research team have conducted over 600 paranormal investigations,

238
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:16,000
and in each case, they must find unique solutions to the problems associated with finding ghosts.

239
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:25,000
This particular investigation is just beginning, and it will be many more months before the team can draw any conclusions about the source of the paranormal activity in this neighborhood.

240
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:32,000
They are hopeful, however, that this will be the case where they can not only pick up the presence of spirits through their equipment,

241
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:36,000
but also communicate with the entities reported here.

242
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:41,000
As you've seen tonight, viewer participation is essential to our sightings investigations.

243
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:49,000
If you've experienced what you believe to be a ghost or any other type of paranormal activity, our sightings investigative team wants to know about it.

244
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:55,000
If you've had a paranormal experience, call the sightings hotline at 1-900-740-SITE.

245
00:21:55,000 --> 00:22:01,000
Each call 75 cents a minute, average call less 2 minutes, and you must be 18 years or older.

246
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:06,000
Join us next time for new investigations into the Unexplained.

247
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:09,000
For Sightings, I'm Tim White.

248
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:16,000
Tomorrow, officers risk their lives to free a hostage from a gang of drug dealers,

249
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:21,000
witness incredible police rescues on a special edition of Code 3, right after cops.

250
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:24,000
Now, stay tuned for more sightings next.

251
