A non-believer, quite frankly. 43 00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:15,000 And then it happens to me. 44 00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:19,000 Sometimes I really feel as if I'm being watched. 45 00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:25,000 Sometimes I feel almost like whatever is here doesn't want me here. 46 00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:33,000 Ventura, California. The Olivas, Adobe. 47 00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:36,000 One of the region's wealthiest estates. 48 00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:40,000 This ranch was a center of social and political activity 49 00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:45,000 until the patriarch of the family, Raimundo Olivas, died. 50 00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:52,000 Greed ripped the family apart, forcing his bride to live the rest of her days here in poverty. 51 00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:53,000 Alone. 52 00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:57,000 Now the Adobe is a museum open to the public. 53 00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:02,000 The Olivas family is long gone, but their spirit still lingers. 54 00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:07,000 We started to get reports of a woman in black being seen inside the house. 55 00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,000 Wonderful, strong jaw. 56 00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:15,000 Defined face. It's a strong, powerful, attractive face. 57 00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:17,000 And they thought it was someone who had broken hand. 58 00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:19,000 So they would call the police. 59 00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:22,000 In fact, they'd call the police five or six times. 60 00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:24,000 They would come inside the building. No one here. 61 00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:27,000 How did you explain a figure like that? 62 00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:33,000 It's almost as if I had a black mantilla on and it covered me almost completely. 63 00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:37,000 I did a double take, stepped back and looked in the room. Whatever it was was gone. 64 00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:40,000 Who or what is the woman in black? 65 00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:44,000 Could she be the desperate widow of Raimundo Olivas? 66 00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:46,000 Or is it something else? 67 00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:48,000 Many historic sites are haunted. 68 00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:51,000 And I think there's a really logical reason why. 69 00:03:51,000 --> 00:04:00,000 They are historic sites because lots of passionate, violent, important things happen within those walls. 70 00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:05,000 Most people would avoid visiting places with terrifying pasts. 71 00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:11,000 But for some, the thrill of seeing a ghost is what draws them to these places. 72 00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:21,000 A ruined castle standing above the mist-shrouded moors of southern England. 73 00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:26,000 It might be the kind of place you would expect to be haunted if you believed in ghosts. 74 00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:32,000 The whole thing really about this place is amazing. The ghosts that occur here. 75 00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:37,000 You had a strange feeling of something wrong. It would just start getting pretty weird. 76 00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:47,000 You learn to control your imagination because at Barry Pomroy, if you let your imagination run away with you, you could be a raven lunatic. 77 00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:51,000 Barry Pomroy Castle has been abandoned for over 300 years. 78 00:04:51,000 --> 00:05:02,000 Venturing to this remote location, visitors are surrounded by eroding buildings, forgotten cemeteries, crumbling parapets, and something else. 79 00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:09,000 It's just brooding and evil. Evil is there in the atmosphere. 80 00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:14,000 Tony Cornell is one of England's most respected paranormal investigators. 81 00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:20,000 He's here at Barry Pomroy to conduct the first comprehensive investigation of the castle. 82 00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:24,000 In my view, it's one of the most interesting cases I think I've come across. 83 00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:30,000 Basically because so many people have seen things and felt things. You don't get that in all hauntings. 84 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:37,000 Cornell meets up with historian Derek Seymour, an expert on the castle and its dark secrets. 85 00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:41,000 The best-known ghost here is the white lady. 86 00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:50,000 And the white lady is, of course, the unfortunate Lady Margaret, who is seen to walk at the top of the stairs in that tower down in the dungeon. 87 00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:53,000 She is really quite frequently seen. 88 00:05:53,000 --> 00:06:01,000 Seymour believes that this white lady is the ghost of Lady Margaret Pomroy, who died of starvation imprisoned in this dungeon. 89 00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:06,000 Her sister locked her up after discovering they were both in love with the same man. 90 00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:11,000 Those brave enough to enter the dungeon have felt her ghostly presence. 91 00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:18,000 When we first went down the stairs into the chamber, it was dark. It was damp. 92 00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:22,000 And it wasn't a nice place to be. 93 00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:28,000 But then this evil presence, you could sense it was evil. 94 00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:31,000 I don't know how to describe it any other way, really. 95 00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:36,000 And then I heard the footsteps very quick, very light. 96 00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:41,000 And the closer she got, the more panic-stricken I felt. 97 00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:46,000 I just wanted to get out of the place and not come back. 98 00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:53,000 In his investigation, Seymour interviewed Jack Hazard, who used to work at the ruins as a master stone mason. 99 00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:57,000 Hazard not only had a ghostly encounter here, he photographed it. 100 00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:01,000 He started to rain and the wind started to blow. 101 00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:05,000 And I thought there was something happening unusual. 102 00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:11,000 So I got the disc camera out and I took five or six shots. 103 00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:16,000 And on five of the prints, white shapes came out. 104 00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:21,000 Whatever they were, I had no idea, but it was the most unusual Sunday morning. 105 00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:24,000 There have also been sightings of a blue lady at the castle. 106 00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:31,000 According to some, she is the spirit of a young maiden who was raped by her father, a prominent Norman Lord. 107 00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:36,000 When she gave birth to his child, she killed it rather than live with the shame. 108 00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:41,000 And this unfortunate child was strangled. 109 00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:49,000 Now, she's quite frequently seen. She's very evil and people don't like the sight of her at all. 110 00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:54,000 Another entity has also been identified by psychic investigator Bob Dalby. 111 00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:58,000 I was conducting an investigation, expecting nothing at all. I was about to leave. 112 00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:03,000 When just by the vampire walls and the stairs leading down, I saw this huge black cloud. 113 00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:08,000 And to me, it seems that probably the hugest and blackest deepest thing I'd ever seen. 114 00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:13,000 Dalby quickly fled the castle, but the menacing force followed him to his house. 115 00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:17,000 It later revealed itself to his wife. 116 00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:21,000 I actually had the experience of somebody sitting on the back of my legs while I was lying on the bed, 117 00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:25,000 thinking it was Bob messing about. I told him to get off, turned around and it was actually a little girl. 118 00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:30,000 Well, they both came to see me the next afternoon. They were so terrified. 119 00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:33,000 And I can tell you that they were frozen with shock. 120 00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:39,000 Everyone who visits Berry-Palmeroy Castle seems to experience something unexplainable. 121 00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:47,000 To me, this is probably, I go farther and say it is, the most haunted castle in England. 122 00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:52,000 There is something pretty potent here. There's a very evil force. 123 00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:58,000 And if ever you encounter it, I'm going to Berry-Palmeroy.

You know, you were just imagining things. 170 00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:11,000 But then this went on every night for a good week, about the same time this man would come to the room. 171 00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:15,000 Meredith also had her own close encounter with this male spirit. 172 00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:18,000 I was laying in bed, and there was lightning, so there was lots of shadows. 173 00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:23,000 But a couple of times I looked, and I saw an old wrinkly-faced man. 174 00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:26,000 And not only, I mean, he was looking in the window at me. 175 00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:30,000 And the first time I saw it, I was scared, but I wasn't sure if he was really there or not. 176 00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:34,000 But I looked again, and he was there each time, just looking. 177 00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:40,000 I was so frightened because his face was there clearly, and there was no balcony, there's no steps, there's no tree. 178 00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:42,000 There's no way he could hold himself there. 179 00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:45,000 So finally she moved out of the room. 180 00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:51,000 And actually, until today, no one has ever slept in that room again. 181 00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:55,000 And near this inns famous gazebo lurks something else. 182 00:12:55,000 --> 00:13:02,000 We have a young woman who likes that area. It's very comforting. It's very romantic, so maybe she's just drawn to that area. 183 00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:08,000 Joanne was intrigued with this female spirit and wanted to know who she was. 184 00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:18,000 She contacted local historian Docia Williams, who told her that the house was once owned by Park Street, a prominent San Antonio lawyer. 185 00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:23,000 Street lived here back in the 1950s with his young wife, Joleen. 186 00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:29,000 Joleen Wood Street died very, very young of cancer. 187 00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:34,000 She was in her 30s. She did have one youngster at the time, or her dad. 188 00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:37,000 But she was a very beautiful woman. 189 00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:39,000 Had always been very, very lovely. 190 00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:50,000 And I understand she is probably one of the entities or spirits that still closely watches over the house because she was very possessive of it when she lived here and very protective of it and loved it very much. 191 00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:56,000 Park and Joleen had everything. Money, fame, love. 192 00:13:56,000 --> 00:14:01,000 But shortly after his wife's tragic death, Park decided to take his own life. 193 00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:13,000 I take for granted the story that was in the Express News and on the police blotters that from a four-poster bed with a taster he is supposed to have hung himself. 194 00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:18,000 Of course, it's also said that perhaps he didn't hang himself that he was murdered. 195 00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:22,000 This real-life mystery may hold the key to the haunting. 196 00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:29,000 Part of the reason that I'm here and that the energies and the spirits that are putting up with me is that I'm here to resolve some of their issues. 197 00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:31,000 And maybe that's Park's death. 198 00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:36,000 To help solve this mystery, Joanne contacted psychic Peter James. 199 00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:43,000 After his initial survey of the end, Peter comes to a shocking conclusion about Park Street's death. 200 00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:53,000 This person died very tragically. I think it was, his life was taken at the hand of another, I think. 201 00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:55,000 Was Park Street really murdered? 202 00:14:55,000 --> 00:15:07,000 In the many years that I've investigated hauntings, there's no doubt in my mind that the nature of the circumstances as to how Park's died was in fact murder. 203 00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:11,000 And I would wager all of my psychic ability on that fact. 204 00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:19,000 There was a blow to the head or something to the head. There was an injury to the head is what I'm feeling. 205 00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:28,000 Peter was now ready to meet with Joanne and delve deeper into this mystery. Why was Park Street murdered and who was responsible? 206 00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:34,000 So far I've found that there's at least four, maybe six entities, ghosts here. 207 00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:36,000 What's the name, Wood, have any spirit? Wood. 208 00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:38,000 Wood, that's the Joleen Woods. 209 00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:39,000 That's the name? 210 00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:42,000 Yes. When Peter said the word Wood, it was a very good feeling. 211 00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:49,000 It's nice to know that Joleen is here and that other people can sense her and feel her presence here too. 212 00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:53,000 I also get a sense like I'm being watched through a window. What about an older gentleman? 213 00:15:53,000 --> 00:16:00,000 Peter noticed that there was a man that used to stare in the bedroom. There's two men upstairs, I think. 214 00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:09,000 One is the old man that looks through the windows that my daughter experienced and also the man that comes into my bedroom and would stand at the foot of the bed. 215 00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:13,000 Peter leads Joanne to the south wing of the house. 216 00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:15,000 This hallway is very active. 217 00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:17,000 I really hate this hallway. 218 00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:22,000 He is drawn to the closet that earlier terrified Joanne. 219 00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:25,000 What's there? What's there? A death here less than 20 years ago? 220 00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:37,000 Yes. When Peter talked about the closet that I really don't like to go into and feel very uncomfortable about, he acknowledged that there was a lot of energy there. 221 00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:47,000 Now, did anyone ever tell you I'm receiving it vibrationally? Is there some kind of a treasure here? 222 00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:50,000 There's supposed to be. I haven't found it. 223 00:16:50,000 --> 00:17:01,000 There is a very aggressive spirit there and I think he's trying. I think there are two that are still battling over a buried treasure. 224 00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:04,000 Was this treasure the cause of the bloody crime? 225 00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:11,000 There was something in that closet that they were after. I believe that he may have come home unexpectedly. 226 00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:16,000 I have a sense that there were two men that were involved with whatever was in that closet. 227 00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:27,000 I think the treasure is in the south wing of the house somewhere and I think the ghost that's back there trying to keep Joanne from finding this buried treasure. 228 00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:32,000 I think that when I find that treasure, that that will open the door to Park's death. 229 00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:41,000 Coming up on Unexplained Mysteries, Scariest Places on Earth, the southern plantation where a bloody battle tore two lovers apart. 230 00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:50,000 There's crying, a lot of crying. It's very possible that he may have died from a broken heart. She's here. She's just a part of Abinem. 231 00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:54,000 The Seattle Hotel where guests check in to check out the ghosts. 232 00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:56,000 People want to be scared. 233 00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:58,000 People commonly come from all around to see the ghosts. 234 00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:01,000 And a prison where tortured souls can't escape. 235 00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:05,000 There is an energy here unlike any other that I've ever experienced. 236 00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:09,000 Sounds of the cell door closing. Somebody appearing and then disappearing. 237 00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:14,000 And we'll unlock the mystery of these historic haunts in our Unex report. 238 00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:18,000 Coming up on Unexplained Mysteries, 239 00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:24,000 Unexplained Mysteries, Scariest Places on Earth. 240 00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:32,000 There is someone here. And I feel like whoever she is, she means no harm. 241 00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:45,000 Avonelle is a perfectly preserved piece of southern history. Confederate soldiers marched by these doors on the way to war. 242 00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:49,000 And then there was the beautiful lady left behind. 243 00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:52,000 She's here. She's just a part of Avonelle. 244 00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:57,000 The house was built in 1836 in Bedford, Virginia by William Burrell. 245 00:18:57,000 --> 00:19:04,000 In its finer days, it was the centerpiece of social, cultural and political life in Bedford. 246 00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:10,000 But when Burrell died and left Avonelle to his wife Frances, hardship fell on the plantation. 247 00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:15,000 She had four daughters. She had 50 servants plus. 248 00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:18,000 Everyone, of course, had their own lives to live. 249 00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:23,000 Everyone on occasion would be sick, hungry, giving birth. 250 00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:25,000 She had a lot to take care of. 251 00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:28,000 The house is now a bed and breakfast. 252 00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:34,000 But what unwary guests don't expect is the unsettling sight of empty chairs rocking 253 00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:38,000 and beds mysteriously being turned down by themselves. 254 00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:42,000 This has been going on for years at Avonelle. 255 00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:46,000 Now you're going to ask me if I believe in ghosts. 256 00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:49,000 Yes, I believe in them because I've seen one. 257 00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:51,000 I saw the white lady. 258 00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:53,000 Peggy grew up at Avonelle. 259 00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:59,000 For her and her family, sightings of the white lady were a normal part of life here. 260 00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:02,000 She came on up that way the street is now. 261 00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:07,000 And when she got over across the street there, there was a big old tree. 262 00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:09,000 She disappeared. 263 00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:14,000 And my mother turned and said, did any of you see what I've just seen? 264 00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:17,000 Well, several of us said yes. 265 00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:22,000 Well, I always thought it was Ms. Burrell just looking after the place. 266 00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:25,000 Is the white lady of Avonelle, Frances Burrell? 267 00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:27,000 Many have their doubts. 268 00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:31,000 To find out, psychic Deborah Caravelli is called in. 269 00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:33,000 There definitely is a presence here. 270 00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:39,000 I think that there's a little bit of sadness too because of all the hardships and the difficulties that they went through. 271 00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:45,000 But I definitely feel that there's that particular feeling here. 272 00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:49,000 Deborah seems to make contact with an entity in this bedroom. 273 00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:53,000 But it's not Frances who everyone knew as Old Miss. 274 00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:56,000 There's a woman's face. 275 00:20:56,000 --> 00:21:00,000 And there's crying, a lot of crying. 276 00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:03,000 I feel it's Fan. I do not think it's Old Miss. 277 00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:08,000 She wants to get it back, but she knows it won't be in the same way. 278 00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:13,000 The family and the closeness and all part of life. 279 00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:18,000 It was home. It was happy, even though there were some sorrow. 280 00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:23,000 Fan was the nickname of William and Frances' daughter, Fanny. 281 00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:29,000 She was close to everyone and I think she just must have a wonderful personality that anyone could love. 282 00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:32,000 She was known as the flower of Avonel. 283 00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:36,000 And every man who met her tried to win the young woman's heart. 284 00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:41,000 But Fanny was engaged to her childhood sweetheart, James Breckenridge. 285 00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:45,000 They got back together when they got a little older and just found out they had a lot in common. 286 00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:48,000 And just felt very deeply in love. 287 00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:53,000 When the civil war started and James was called to duty, the two were married. 288 00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:57,000 A few days after the wedding, James went off to battle. 289 00:21:57,000 --> 00:22:01,000 Fanny visited her husband a few months later when he was on leave. 290 00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:05,000 It would be the last time they would see each other. 291 00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:15,000 Apparently she contracted typhoid, came back to Avonel and in August, 1862, just months after she had married, Captain Breckenridge, she died. 292 00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:20,000 When he received the news of his wife's death, James made a decision. 293 00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:27,000 Captain Breckenridge, rather than to come back to a fallen country, south had lost and his bride had died, 294 00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:31,000 put himself before enemy fire and was killed. 295 00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:36,000 A tombstone in Bedford is inscribed with the names of Fanny and James. 296 00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:39,000 But James' body was never found. 297 00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:42,000 Fanny lies in this crypt alone. 298 00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:49,000 Deborah believes that Fanny is the white lady, forever doomed to wander Avonel in her wedding dress. 299 00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:52,000 Waiting for her husband to return. 300 00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:59,000 Love is a very powerful emotion and it can withstand all time. 301 00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:06,000 Coming up on Unexplained Mysteries, a psychic witnesses the violent death of a Jesuit priest. 302 00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:10,000 I see a body swinging from a rope. 303 00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:12,000 A photographer on a mission. 304 00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:15,000 We came to the castle today to try to capture ghosts. 305 00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:18,000 An anguished spirit with a message. 306 00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:21,000 Perhaps he's trying to tell us how he was tormented in his life. 307 00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:24,000 And one of the most terrifying places in America. 308 00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:29,000 Sounds of the cell door closing, of somebody appearing and then disappearing. 309 00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:35,000 At least a hundred ghosts here, a hundred entities that walk these corridors. 310 00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:39,000 And you'll get the climactic update with our Unex report. 311 00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:42,000 Coming up on Unexplained Mysteries. 312 00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:49,000 Unexplained Mysteries, scariest places on earth. 313 00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:57,000 People commonly come from all around to see the ghosts, especially on equinoxes and Halloween night. 314 00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:07,000 The Manresa Castle stands just as it did when it was first built in 1892. 315 00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:15,000 Located near Puget Sound in Washington, two tragic suicides have been committed on the third floor of this hotel. 316 00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:21,000 In 1921, a woman leapt to her death from the window of room 306. 317 00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:30,000 Further down the hall, in the turret room, a Jesuit priest hung himself when the castle was being used as a monastery. 318 00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:41,000 People who commit real, genuine suicides do tend to bring on hauntings or haunt a place where they met their demise by their own hands. 319 00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:51,000 While the thought of spending a vacation in a hotel filled with tormented spirits doesn't appeal to everyone, many visitors come to the Manresa hoping to see a ghost. 320 00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:59,000 Rob Freeman and Sue Johnston regularly bring their children and their friends to the infamous turret room for seances. 321 00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:03,000 Definitely the darkest feeling that comes out is this Jesuit priest. 322 00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:08,000 We decided to ask him for page numbers in the Bible because that's easy to get through the Ouija board. 323 00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:10,000 There's a row of numbers there, sure enough. 324 00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:20,000 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 325 00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:23,000 and this is what brought him to the point of suicide. 326 00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:26,000 And we found a passage here in Psalm 101, 327 00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:30,000 A perverse nature shall be absent from me, I will not entertain. 328 00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:36,000 Evil I will silence him who secretly slanders his neighbor, I will not tolerate one who is conceited. 329 00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:44,000 Arrogant. So perhaps he's trying to tell us something about himself and something about his life and how he was tormented in his life 330 00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:48,000 and now in death that he feels he's done pentatons. 331 00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:52,000 People want to be scared. People want to be scared. 332 00:25:52,000 --> 00:26:00,000 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. 333 00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:07,000 This journal is a record of the ghostly encounters which have occurred in this room over the years. 334 00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:14,000 I've seen Kate and I'm pretty sure that she exists. You could make out a face in the shadow. 335 00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:21,000 You just, you're frozen and just wait for morning to come so you can share your experiences. 336 00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:24,000 You don't dare get up. You're too afraid to get up. 337 00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:30,000 They're referring to the spirit of a woman who committed suicide here by jumping out her window. 338 00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:36,000 To better understand why these two spirits are here, the hotel contacted psychic Rhonda Griffin. 339 00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:43,000 Without being told any details of the hotel's history, Rhonda is led to room 302. 340 00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:47,000 Someone's crying. Someone's crying here. 341 00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:57,000 Someone's waiting. Something's... Someone's waiting here. 342 00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:08,000 Did she jump out this window? 343 00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:16,000 Picture I just saw. I saw somebody fall out of this, fall out of a window. 344 00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:19,000 And when I saw it, my heart just jumped. 345 00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:45,000 Before she can recover from her encounter with Kate, Rhonda feels another presence. 346 00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:48,000 It draws her toward the turret room. 347 00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:54,000 I'm feeling an energy vortex coming right down through the center of this. 348 00:27:54,000 --> 00:28:01,000 Now, a lot of times, is the way things are built, they'll help to amplify particular energies. 349 00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:05,000 Now, most places are built on what's called lay lines, okay? 350 00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:08,000 And it's a concentration of energy. 351 00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:13,000 Where these lay lines cross is where energy vortexes are created. 352 00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:18,000 Rhonda senses that this energy vortex is centered in the upstairs attic. 353 00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:21,000 She makes her way deeper into the hotel. 354 00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:25,000 It feels like right about here, and I'm like walking through like a time warp. 355 00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:30,000 And it feels like I'm going back to another time that this place was very different. 356 00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:33,000 The structure was very different. 357 00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:36,000 It was used, it didn't have a family. 358 00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:38,000 I don't feel a family. 359 00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:40,000 Oh, I don't feel a family. 360 00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:46,000 Rhonda appears to have crossed into a time when the hotel was used as a Jesuit monastery. 361 00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:50,000 I'm watching a man sitting on the floor. 362 00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:52,000 He's isolated, he's alone. 363 00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:55,000 He's holy. I see him. 364 00:28:56,000 --> 00:29:00,000 He's almost like a... 365 00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:05,000 He's seated, and he would come up here. 366 00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:08,000 God. 367 00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:11,000 Oh, God. 368 00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:14,000 Oh, God. 369 00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:19,000 It's not... 370 00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:21,000 It's not ready to... 371 00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:25,000 It's not ready to... it's despair. 372 00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:33,000 It's a feeling of hopelessness, helplessness. 373 00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:35,000 He's very... 374 00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:37,000 He's a religious person. 375 00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:40,000 He's... 376 00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:45,000 I see a body swinging. 377 00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:48,000 I see a body swinging. 378 00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:50,000 From a rope. 379 00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:15,000 Bless the Lord, O my soul, and all that is within me, bless his holy name. 380 00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:19,000 Bless the Lord, O my soul, and give that all his benefits. 381 00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:23,000 If it gives all your iniquities, we heal all your diseases. 382 00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:25,000 It redeems your life from the grave. 383 00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:28,000 It crowns you with loving kindness and... 384 00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:32,000 You watch someone do this, and you have to think in the back of your mind, 385 00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:36,000 well, this could be some kind of a put-on type of deal. 386 00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:39,000 But then she came up with a couple things tonight that were unexplainable. 387 00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:43,000 And how'd she come up with the page number in the Bible? 388 00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:46,000 I can't explain that. No one else can either. It just happened. 389 00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:52,000 Whatever haunts this castle continues to draw in tourists from all around the world, 390 00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:56,000 each hoping to come away with their own ghost story to tell. 391 00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:04,000 Next on Unexplained Mysteries, we'll take you on a tour of one of the most brutal places in America. 392 00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:06,000 Men were kept chained down in there. 393 00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:11,000 I'm feeling that if I stay here much longer, I'll die. 394 00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:14,000 The killer who still lurks these corridors. 395 00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:18,000 Joseph Kreitzer, he was one of the toughest of the bunch. 396 00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:24,000 Joseph is keeping me captive here. Joseph is placing me here against my will. 397 00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:28,000 And the psychic encounter that brought the suffering back to life. 398 00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:35,000 There could not be any crime in the world worth the punishment that I feel this ends in. 399 00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:37,000 This entity endured. 400 00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:45,000 And finally, we'll unlock the secret of these cursed sights in our Unex report on Unexplained Mysteries. 401 00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:52,000 Unexplained Mysteries, scariest places on earth. 402 00:31:54,000 --> 00:32:00,000 Sounds of the cell door closing. Somebody appearing and then disappearing. 403 00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:06,000 Those type of things would really send chills up your spine. 404 00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:15,000 The cold shark infested waters of San Francisco Bay. 405 00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:19,000 At its center, Alcatraz, the rock. 406 00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:25,000 As a military prison, Alcatraz was known as the most brutal place to serve time. 407 00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:31,000 Prisoners were chained to the walls, beaten and forced to do backbreaking labor. 408 00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:36,000 Alcatraz, wound, and by 1909, the cell house that it dominates the top of the island, 409 00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:40,000 had been built for the incarceration of military prisoners. 410 00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:46,000 By the 1930s, Alcatraz was turned into a federal penitentiary to house gangsters. 411 00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:54,000 For the next 30 years, this was the final stop for criminals who were too violent and dangerous for the normal prison system. 412 00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:58,000 In 1963, the prison was shut down. 413 00:32:58,000 --> 00:33:02,000 Ten years later, it was reopened as a tourist attraction. 414 00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:08,000 But some say the spirits of the men who endured the brutality of the rock are still here. 415 00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:12,000 When you walk in, it's really dark and it's very cold in there. 416 00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:15,000 And I got the chills and I had to leave. I didn't like it at all. 417 00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:20,000 Normally, I don't believe in ghosts, but in a place like that where there have been so many violent deaths, 418 00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:24,000 and the kind of people that were there, you know, it's quite possible. 419 00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:32,000 The official policy about ghosts on Alcatraz is we would say that, in fact, well, maybe things that happened, maybe they didn't. 420 00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:37,000 It's just something that wasn't officially sanctioned. 421 00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:45,000 To determine whether or not Alcatraz is haunted, psychic Peter James agreed to spend the night on this desolate island. 422 00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:52,000 Although he has been investigating haunted sites for years, nothing had prepared him for what he was about to encounter. 423 00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:55,000 Alcatraz was a place that drove men mad. 424 00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:56,000 My dear. 425 00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:57,000 Military prison. 426 00:33:57,000 --> 00:33:58,000 I like it. 427 00:33:58,000 --> 00:34:01,000 They're in pain and I'm in pain and there's blood here. 428 00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:04,000 They couldn't break out of the prison. 429 00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:05,000 There's trouble on the rock. 430 00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:10,000 The voices of a hundred tortured souls echo in Peter's brain. 431 00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:17,000 I know little or nothing about Alcatraz other than what I learned here during the past two days that I've been here. 432 00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:27,000 And my feelings are strongly that there is an energy here unlike any other that I've ever experienced. 433 00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:34,000 Ex-guard and Alcatraz historian Al Blumquist agreed to review Peter's psychic impressions for accuracy. 434 00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:37,000 One episode brought back chilling memories. 435 00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:44,000 I feel like I'm being trapped here in this particular area. 436 00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:46,000 We were told there's trouble on the rock. 437 00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:53,000 On May the 2nd, 1946, six inmates with other lesser accomplices decided to blast their way out of the prison. 438 00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:58,000 I feel like I'm being thrown into this cell and I'm being thrown into that cell. 439 00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:04,000 During that time they gathered up nine officers, put them inside of cells to be used as hostages. 440 00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:06,000 I am a person of authority. 441 00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:13,000 I feel like I should be on the other side of the bars, but I'm here against my will. 442 00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:25,000 I am placed here by force and at the point of the gun there's a... that Joseph is involved here. 443 00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:32,000 Joseph Kretzer, he was one of the toughest of the bunch. He was really a mean dog. 444 00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:37,000 Joseph is keeping me captive here. Joseph is placing me here against my will. 445 00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:43,000 Joe Kretzer took the 45 automatic and started shooting these innocent officers inside the cell. 446 00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:49,000 I'm sensing that I, Bill or William lost his life here. 447 00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:54,000 William Miller later died in the hospital in San Francisco. Other officers were very seriously wounded. 448 00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:56,000 The name starts with a C. 449 00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:59,000 Cecil Corwin had his lower jaw torn away. 450 00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:04,000 I wonder if they weren't all killed in this spot because they were in there in massive humanity. 451 00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:11,000 And here they've been firing into that cell. You could tell what kind of a person this Kretzer really was by when he had to do a thing like that. 452 00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:19,000 When the military arrived to put down the uprising, Kretzer and the other inmates fled to a utility corridor in Seablock. 453 00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:23,000 Peter follows the psychic trail of the doomed prisoners. 454 00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:30,000 Joseph, I'm coming through. 455 00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:43,000 Mark, Mark, Mark, Marty, Marty, Mark. Give me a better verification of a name. Marv, Marvin, Marvin, is that Marvin? 456 00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:48,000 Marvin Hubbard died in the utility corridor of Seablock. 457 00:36:48,000 --> 00:37:03,000 I am responding to a sensation here and I feel like I'm losing consciousness and what Joseph is telling me is that he's been shot. 458 00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:09,000 Joseph Dutch Kretzer died in the utility corridor of Seablock. 459 00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:14,000 Oh, it's cold. It's freezing back here. There's a cold spot here. 460 00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:23,000 Oh, yes. Hello. There is a third soul here with a letter B. 461 00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:28,000 Bernard Paul Coy died in the utility corridor of Seablock. 462 00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:40,000 They're moaning. The pain is so intense. They're like little boys back here. They're moaning, almost asking for the guidance of their parents right now. 463 00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:55,000 Peter James leaves Alcatraz with a new appreciation for the horror that went on here. Decades of violence, death and despair forever imprinted in the walls of this cold, dark prison. 464 00:37:55,000 --> 00:38:08,000 There are at least 100 ghosts here, 100 entities that walk these corridors looking for a way out, looking for that life force that they seem to have lost somewhere. 465 00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:10,000 Tragedy. 466 00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:20,000 I can't really say that I'm a believer myself, but like many people, I guess there are some things that just simply are unexplained. 467 00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:30,000 Next, the Unex Report. We'll examine the evidence and answer the questions. Why are these the scariest places on Earth? 468 00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:40,000 Mysteries left unsolved? Murders left unpunished? Lovers torn apart by tragedy? Or is it something else that we don't yet understand? 469 00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:52,000 We'll bring it all together next with our Unex Report when unexplained mysteries return. 470 00:38:52,000 --> 00:39:07,000 And now for the Unex Report. For some, these sites are a chance to get in touch with the past. But as we've seen, sometimes the past is still alive within the walls of these notorious haunts. 471 00:39:07,000 --> 00:39:10,000 People are there and you're not in this room. 472 00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:14,000 Sometimes I really feel as if I'm being watched. 473 00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:16,000 There definitely is a presence here. 474 00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:25,000 To discover why the ghosts of the past still wander these famous sites, we need to open up our minds to the paranormal possibilities. 475 00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:30,000 I never believed in ghosts and then when I moved in here, I saw it for myself and I believed it. 476 00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:37,000 Here I come out here, a non-believer, quite frankly. And then it happens to me. 477 00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:42,000 If you let your imagination run away with you, you could be a raven lunatic. 478 00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:46,000 Sunkics seem to offer a window into this past. 479 00:39:46,000 --> 00:39:54,000 My sense in seeing this man was this was not a suicide. That someone murdered this man. 480 00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:58,000 I see a body swinging from a rope. 481 00:39:58,000 --> 00:40:04,000 Joseph is keeping me captive here. Joseph is placing me here against my will. 482 00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:10,000 Experts who have visited these sites and experienced the horror have their own theories. 483 00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:19,000 Many historic sites are haunted because lots of passionate, violent, important things happened within those walls. 484 00:40:19,000 --> 00:40:27,000 We are seeing not what's actually occurring at the time, but what did occur many, many, many times in the past. 485 00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:30,000 We've heard from the terrified witnesses. 486 00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:34,000 I did a double take, stepped back and looked in the room, whatever it was was gone. 487 00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:38,000 I just wanted to get out of the place and not come back. 488 00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:41,000 I feel a lot of anger and a lot of negative violence. 489 00:40:41,000 --> 00:40:45,000 And the people who are drawn to these places of torment and sorrow. 490 00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:49,000 We came to the castle today to try to capture ghosts. 491 00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:51,000 People commonly come from all around to see the ghosts. 492 00:40:51,000 --> 00:40:55,000 People want to be scared. That's why we're here. 493 00:40:55,000 --> 00:41:03,000 One thing that everyone agrees on is that in places like Berry-Palmeroy Castle, the Black Swan Inn and Elcatraz, 494 00:41:03,000 --> 00:41:07,000 the past is still very much alive. 495 00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:12,000 But no one is sure what exactly that past is trying to tell us. 496 00:41:12,000 --> 00:41:18,000 That is why these infamous haunts must remain an unexplained mystery. 497 00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:37,000 This is the key to putting a criminal behind bars.
