00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,000
The End

2
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:08,000
Tonight on Unsolved Mysteries

3
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
He was a once and future king, truly an American icon.

4
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:18,000
But for 20 years, the details of his untimely death have been cloaked in mystery.

5
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:23,000
Now a trusted member of Elvis Presley's inner circle has sparked a stunning controversy.

6
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:28,000
Is it possible that the king of rock and roll took his own life?

7
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:32,000
Is there a big foot in Florida's Everglades?

8
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:37,000
Or could the photographs, footprints and hair samples be an elaborate hoax?

9
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:42,000
She was an eccentric heiress known for her reclusive lifestyle,

10
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:47,000
her devotion to her 58 show dogs, and for occasionally dressing like a man.

11
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:49,000
Then she disappeared.

12
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:52,000
What happened to Camilla Lyman?

13
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:57,000
Welcome to the house on 37th Street.

14
00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:01,000
It may look perfectly normal, but don't be fooled.

15
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:05,000
The folks who live here say their modest home is in fact haunted,

16
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:11,000
and not by a single ghost, but by an entire gang of restless spirits.

17
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:15,000
Join me for these intriguing stories and more.

18
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:20,000
Perhaps you may be the one chosen by fate to solve a mystery.

19
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:01,000
The End

20
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:12,000
He once reigned supreme as a world's greatest entertainer,

21
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:19,000
but on August 16, 1977, Elvis Presley's remarkable life came to a shocking end.

22
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:22,000
At first it was said he died of a heart attack.

23
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:26,000
Later reports suggested a massive drug overdose.

24
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:34,000
The mystery of Elvis's death is so baffling that even those closest to him can't agree on the cause.

25
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:38,000
Yet Elvis's own stepbrother, a trusted member of the Inner Circle,

26
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:41,000
maintains that the king's death was not accidental.

27
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:44,000
He says that Elvis committed suicide.

28
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:50,000
Elvis Presley woke up on the 16th of August, premeditated,

29
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:53,000
planned, took and killed himself deliberately.

30
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:56,000
But why?

31
00:02:56,000 --> 00:03:01,000
Why would a man who could have anything and everything he desired take his own life?

32
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:05,000
What dark secrets could bring him to such a desperate act?

33
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:12,000
Not surprisingly, most people refuse to believe that Elvis Presley died by his own hand.

34
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:17,000
However, David Stanley's eyewitness account, along with the circumstantial evidence,

35
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:20,000
is compelling and warrants a closer look.

36
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:23,000
Tonight we'll hear both sides of this ongoing controversy

37
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:29,000
and learn the bizarre and intriguing details of Elvis's final days from those who knew him best.

38
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:37,000
It had become part of Elvis Presley's daily routine,

39
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:40,000
three times a day on a strict schedule,

40
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:45,000
nearly a dozen different prescription drugs, including demoral and second-all,

41
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:48,000
administered by members of his entourage.

42
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:57,000
According to insiders, this dangerous cycle of drug use had its beginnings in 1958,

43
00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:01,000
when Elvis was drafted into the army and sent overseas.

44
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:05,000
I went to Germany with him after I got out of the Marine Corps.

45
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:09,000
Bodyguard Red West was a close friend of Elvis Presley's from junior high school,

46
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:14,000
and was a key figure in the biographical film Elvis, All the King's Men.

47
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:17,000
He was on guard duty on the Russian front,

48
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:20,000
and if you went to sleep, you're in and got caught asleep, you're in trouble.

49
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:24,000
So this sergeant said, take these little things here, they'll keep you up.

50
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:29,000
And wow, man, it started feeling good, and that's how it began.

51
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:32,000
After his army discharge,

52
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:37,000
Elvis starred in a long series of inconsequential but highly profitable movies.

53
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:42,000
Elvis's greatest desire was to be a serious dramatic actor,

54
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:45,000
and this was denied him because he was a hero.

55
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:50,000
And this was denied him because his management felt that they wouldn't make as much money

56
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:52,000
if they put him in a dramatic role.

57
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:55,000
They wanted him to be in the formula.

58
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:57,000
So this depressed him a great deal.

59
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:01,000
Frustrated by the unsatisfying movie roles,

60
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:04,000
and overwhelmed by the crushing demands of his fans,

61
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:10,000
Elvis retreated into a shadow world behind the gates of his Memphis mansion, Graceland.

62
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:14,000
Elvis sort of put himself into a cocoon.

63
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:20,000
He surrounded himself with paid friends, for the most part, called the Memphis Mafia.

64
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:27,000
And Graceland, more or less, became a tomb for him, or a cave to go hide from life.

65
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:31,000
The windows were sealed, the outside did not enter in.

66
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:35,000
So his day-to-day touch with reality had really been removed.

67
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:40,000
The hardest thing for Elvis was being Elvis.

68
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:43,000
People say, what do you think the most difficult part of Elvis's freshest life was?

69
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:49,000
Being Elvis Presley, looking out a window, seeing 10,000 people who think you can walk on water.

70
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:55,000
Walking out on a stage and seeing 22,000 flashbubs going off, thinking you are a king.

71
00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:03,000
The combination of high times on tour and isolation at home, extracted an unforeseen toll.

72
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:10,000
Elvis's affairs, abscesses and drug use led to the end of his celebrated six-year marriage to Priscilla.

73
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:15,000
The divorce punctured the protective bubble around Elvis's carefully maintained image.

74
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:24,000
When she did leave him, it wasn't so much that his heart was broken, that the love of his life is gone.

75
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:31,000
It was more because he was Elvis, and Elvis always got his way, this time he didn't.

76
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:34,000
He would get himself in a rage over that.

77
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:42,000
He would get himself so worked up over it, that he would begin to take the medications to deal with the depression of the rage.

78
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:45,000
And then suddenly some shows are starting to be canceled.

79
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:55,000
By the mid-1970s, insiders say that Elvis' dependency on drugs was so complete that he required around-the-clock care and supervision.

80
00:06:55,000 --> 00:07:00,000
It was provided by David Stanley and a group of men known as the Lifers.

81
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:03,000
They catered to the king's every need.

82
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:07,000
We were the ones who were with Elvis all the time.

83
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:15,000
Elvis needs something to eat. Elvis needs to be woken up at a certain time. Elvis needs his medication.

84
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:25,000
A dangerous and destructive routine of medication was administered on a steady schedule to Elvis at his insistence.

85
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:30,000
He received the drugs in three separate doses that were called attacks.

86
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:40,000
Each attack contained numerous medications and pillars syringe form, among them Valium, Nambuton, Demerol, Coilud and Sekinol.

87
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:47,000
The first attack was usually delivered between 2 and 3 a.m.

88
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:58,000
After he'd take his attack, what attack one, he would have a couple of cheeseburgers, potatoes.

89
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:09,000
The attack one effect would get him groggy and sleepy. We would have to watch Elvis, because sometimes he'd be eating to fall asleep with a food in his mouth, oftentimes choking on his own food.

90
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:15,000
After sleeping for a few hours, Elvis would awaken for attack two.

91
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:26,000
That would last for several hours, and now you're in the morning hours. You know, you're looking at 10 or 11, then it'd be attack three, which was the same contents of attack one and two.

92
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:32,000
So you're talking, by the time you got done, let's just call it 11 sleeping pills per attack. That's 33.

93
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:37,000
Let's call it three shots of demerol per. That's nine shots.

94
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:44,000
And some people would say, well, golly, that's six months worth. That was a nightly dose.

95
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:54,000
I talked to him about drugs. He said, you don't need this stuff. He said, no, you're wrong. I do need it.

96
00:08:54,000 --> 00:09:00,000
I looked at him and said, you're serious. You really need this stuff. He says, right, I need it.

97
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:08,000
And that's when I threw my hands up and said, I've done all I can do. And I was gone shortly thereafter.

98
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:19,000
David Stanley says he also tried to intervene to save Elvis from himself. But the king didn't welcome these intrusions of reality.

99
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:20,000
No, you don't got to have me.

100
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:24,000
You don't tell me anything. I'm telling you right now, you work for me and I've got to have my shot.

101
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:25,000
You pay me to take care of you.

102
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:26,000
And I'm not going to hear it.

103
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:27,000
And I'm not going to do it tonight.

104
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:29,000
I'm not going to hear what you think you are, man. I'm telling you right now.

105
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:31,000
No, you can't have me right now.

106
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:38,000
Now, I knew Elvis wouldn't have shot me. But I knew right then we have got a serious, serious drug problem here.

107
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:46,000
Elvis's depression deepened in the weeks prior to his death. Despite the millions he'd made, he was short of money.

108
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:54,000
His manager had booked another tour, which Elvis was dreading. He was visibly overweight in poor health and in a final humiliation.

109
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:59,000
Rock and Roll's greatest sex symbol was now reportedly impotent.

110
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:09,000
Perhaps Elvis was most despondent about a book some former employees, including Red West, were about to publish.

111
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:16,000
The book chronicled their years in the King's Inner Circle. Their revelations threatened to expose the secret Elvis.

112
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:20,000
The one his adoring fans knew nothing about.

113
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:26,000
This would be the first time that the fans saw him overweight, not looking good.

114
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:33,000
With the knowledge of what the book contained. And it was, oh my god, they'll know.

115
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:37,000
And he knew the whistle had been blown on his clean image and he was terrified.

116
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:43,000
And you could just look at him and see the depression. You could see the God, I don't know if it's worth going on mentality.

117
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:50,000
Kind of dreading the tour one day. I don't want to go on a tour. They're going to think this. They're going to think that.

118
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:52,000
He was just really confused.

119
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:56,000
David, come over here and pray with me. Come over here and kneel down.

120
00:10:56,000 --> 00:11:03,000
The last days he was really searching. He was digging into it. He was looking for the answer. He was looking for a way out.

121
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:12,000
The last time I saw Elvis, he said goodbye to me. He was crying. I love you. He hugged me. I'll never ever see you again.

122
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:16,000
The next time you see me, it'll be in a higher place in a different plane.

123
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:26,000
The exact sequence of events is still a mystery. But this much is known about Elvis' last day. It was suspiciously different in several ways.

124
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:37,000
He ignored his usual late night feast. He was given his three attack envelopes. Nearly three dozen pills and nine syringes full of demoral at their usual times.

125
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:41,000
But he left them untouched.

126
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:53,000
Elvis' girlfriend, Ginger Alden, was the last person to see him alive. According to reports, around 9.30 am, Elvis got out of bed and went to the bathroom to read.

127
00:11:53,000 --> 00:12:03,000
Elvis was a very busy person. He was very busy. He was very busy. He was very busy. He was very busy.

128
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:07,000
Elvis was very busy. He was very busy.

129
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:12,000
Elvis was very busy. He was very busy. He was very busy. He was very busy. He was very busy.

130
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:20,000
That's where Elvis' body was found a few hours later. Paramedics were already there by the time David Stanley arrived.

131
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:33,000
I looked and saw Elvis in the fetal position and knew he was gone. First thing I said was, you son of a bitch. I knew right there and then at that time that Elvis said, I am out of here.

132
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:46,000
David says he found all three attack envelopes and several demoral syringes nearly empty. He believes Elvis took all three attacks simultaneously. The purpose? To end his life.

133
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:56,000
The official autopsy found that Elvis died of an irregular heartbeat due to severe cardiovascular disease.

134
00:12:56,000 --> 00:13:04,000
I don't think there's any evidence that there was a tremendous amount of drug abuse or anything misuse.

135
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:13,000
Dr. Kevin Marigian is a well-known clinical pharmacologist. He has studied the official coroner's toxicology report that was released to the public.

136
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:24,000
I know there's been a lot of theories and there's been a lot of conjecture. There's always a debate. That kind of adds to the mystique of Elvis.

137
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:30,000
But he didn't die of an overdose. He died of some event, probably cardiac an origin.

138
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:36,000
Good lord. That'd kill an animal, kill a cow, that much medication.

139
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:43,000
So when I talk to you about this, I am not looking for reasons to back up what I believe.

140
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:50,000
I'm telling you what I know and the fact is that much medication will kill you and Elvis knew that.

141
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:58,000
Especially because he knew the physician's death's reference, because he was educated on drugs. He knew that that would take him out.

142
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:04,000
No one in the Elvis can tell you what he was thinking that last night.

143
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:08,000
David Stannock can't tell you what he was thinking. I can't tell you what he was thinking.

144
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:14,000
Doctors can look at all the charts they want to look at, but it's not going to tell you what Elvis was thinking.

145
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:23,000
I know him like a book. I know he's religious and I know what he would do and what he wouldn't do.

146
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:26,000
And he would not kill himself purposely.

147
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:36,000
Did Elvis Presley take his own life? The controversy may one day be settled.

148
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:42,000
Elvis' father Vernon reportedly commissioned a private autopsy after the official report was completed.

149
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:46,000
Exactly what those doctors found is still unknown.

150
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:51,000
At Vernon's request, the results will remain sealed until the year 2027.

151
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:15,000
The Florida Everglades, hot, humid, mosquito-infested swamp land, an exotic setting for some unusual creatures, and some unusual people too.

152
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:28,000
For eight months, David Shealy has sat all alone in the middle of a swamp, looking for a legendary creature said to roam the Everglades. Florida's answer to Bigfoot.

153
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:41,000
David's quest began in 1973. He was just 10 when he and his older brother Jack trekked through the swamps near O'Choppy, 75 miles west of Miami.

154
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:44,000
It was a muggy day he would never forget.

155
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:48,000
Look, that's why I call that snake a frog. It's huge.

156
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:51,000
My brother noticed something in the distance.

157
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:53,000
What is that?

158
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:57,000
And he said to me, he said, what's that? What is that over there?

159
00:15:57,000 --> 00:16:02,000
What is it, man? Let me see. Let me see.

160
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:08,000
And I couldn't see it because the grass was too high, so he had to pick me up where I could get a better look.

161
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:15,000
And when I looked out across the prairie, I could see a huge figure, probably eight feet tall, maybe 300 pounds.

162
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:19,000
It was walking on two legs like a man would walk.

163
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:20,000
Oh, man.

164
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:22,000
It was like a giant skunk ape.

165
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:25,000
I knew it had to be the skunk ape.

166
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:29,000
The skunk ape? Just the sound of it brings a smile.

167
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:34,000
The idea of a creature larger than a gorilla with a motor like a skunk might seem far-fetched.

168
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:40,000
But since that time, 25 years ago, David Shealy has spent his free time searching for this elusive creature.

169
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:46,000
Is a skunk ape the product of a fertile imagination nourished by the hot steamy nights of the Everglades?

170
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:49,000
Or is it real?

171
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:54,000
Folks, you sure picked a beautiful day for your trip through the Everglades.

172
00:16:54,000 --> 00:17:01,000
July 19, 1997 started out as an ordinary day for Everglades tour guide John Vickers.

173
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:05,000
We're driving the bus down to Turner River Road, and I'm pointing out wildlife.

174
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:10,000
If you look over to your right, you'll see a couple of the alligators taking their afternoon nap.

175
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:20,000
All of a sudden, about 200 yards in front of our bus, a creature, a hairy, standing upright on its hind legs,

176
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:26,000
crossed the road. At this point, one of the passengers tapped me on the shoulder.

177
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:28,000
What was that?

178
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:31,000
Well, I'm not sure. But it's nothing to worry about.

179
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:34,000
I think it's probably the old man that lives out the Everglades here.

180
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:36,000
I don't think he bought that.

181
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:41,000
A total of five people on the bus claimed they saw what John saw.

182
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:47,000
I don't know whether it was a real skunk ape or whether it was a hoax.

183
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:50,000
But it's something real.

184
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:55,000
John and his group are not the only ones to see the odd creature that week.

185
00:17:55,000 --> 00:18:00,000
Two days later, local real estate agent Jan Brock was on her way to work.

186
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:08,000
I was driving probably about 7.30, 7.45 in the morning, and I noticed something getting ready to cross the road.

187
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:15,000
My first thought was that it had to be a bear, and this particular time I looked and I was like, something was not right.

188
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:22,000
The animal just kind of scurried off across the road, and that's when I realized it couldn't have been a bear.

189
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:30,000
I wasn't sure what I saw, and didn't really want people to think I was a little nuts, so I didn't say anything about it.

190
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:36,000
Fire Chief Vince Doar left for work slightly later than Jan. He and Jan are neighbors.

191
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:42,000
I've seen something go across the road. It wasn't dressed in regular shirt and pants like a man.

192
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:49,000
It was more brown or looked more like a bear color, but I knew it wasn't a bear because it was walking upright.

193
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:53,000
So I speeded up, got up to that area, I got out.

194
00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:05,000
I yelled out, and it stopped and turned, and at that time I snapped one photograph.

195
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:10,000
This is the actual photograph of the creature taken by Vince Doar.

196
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:14,000
I saw the picture that Vince had taken, and it was the same thing I saw.

197
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:17,000
Jan seen it, so that made me feel like I wasn't seeing things.

198
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:24,000
When you hear people talking about what they saw, and then you actually see it yourself, obviously you're going to believe that there's something out there.

199
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:31,000
A year has gone by. It is now September of 1998.

200
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:39,000
David Shearey keeps up his long eight-month vigil, hoping to obtain his own proof of the skunk ape's existence.

201
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:46,000
I was sitting in my tree stand, and I dozed off, and I heard something splashing in the water.

202
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:49,000
And it sounded like a person walking towards me.

203
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:55,000
When I looked up, there it was, coming right at me at about a hundred yards away.

204
00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:58,000
I started taking pictures right away.

205
00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:06,000
I took 27 photographs over a period of about three or four minutes as it crossed the marsh.

206
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:09,000
I couldn't believe what I saw.

207
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:26,000
It was almost ghostly, and it wasn't until the next day when I took the camera to the developer that I realized that I had actually captured a skunk ape on film.

208
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:32,000
With his photographs, David knew he needed some sort of corroboration.

209
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:38,000
He called upon Dade County archaeologist Bob Carr to study his pictures.

210
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:40,000
These photographs were very compelling.

211
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:49,000
The statue, the size, the motion of this creature did not appear to be a human being, and the suggestion of the gate is very primate light.

212
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:57,000
I think there are enough details to make one realize that this would have to be a very, very clever hoax to be perpetrated.

213
00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:01,000
Now Bob Carr felt he should get some more verification.

214
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:05,000
He brought an Everglades tracker, TL Riggs.

215
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:13,000
On two occasions I found footprints in the soft earth.

216
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:19,000
All the tracks that I saw at that particular time, only the ball of the foot and the toes showed.

217
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:24,000
There were none that showed that a heel had been left down.

218
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:28,000
Riggs made plaster castings of the footprints.

219
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:37,000
Looking at just the front end of the foot, which is all we can do, I would say that it would have to weigh at least 300 pounds.

220
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:41,000
TL Riggs came up with an idea for gathering more evidence.

221
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:50,000
He wanted to collect hair samples, so he snapped a number of branches at a height of 4 to 5 feet, far too high a reach for most animals.

222
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:56,000
That way he could snag some hair should a skunk ape come in contact with the jagged edges.

223
00:21:56,000 --> 00:22:10,000
By setting a great number of those along trails, I've been able to harvest several legitimate looking hairs that are unlike anything I've ever seen.

224
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:17,000
Was the hair collected by TL Riggs from some unknown creature or simply from a man in an ape suit?

225
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:24,000
Unsolved mystery sent two samples to a lab at Trinity University in San Antonio, Texas.

226
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:31,000
In my mind, the evidence we've looked at from O'Choppe indicates there's definitely a phenomena that's real.

227
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:34,000
What we don't know is what that phenomena is.

228
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:43,000
We are closer to the answer probably than we've ever been, but the answer will only come when the hair is analyzed and DNA is extracted,

229
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:50,000
and then we will know the molecular and genetic footprint and who and what this creature might be.

230
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:54,000
We are still waiting for the results of the DNA tests.

231
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:59,000
However, electron microscopy has ruled out synthetic fibers as might be used in an ape costume.

232
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:09,000
And so far, many mammals have been eliminated as well, including bears, gorillas, chimpanzees, kunks, dogs and cats, and humans.

233
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:13,000
We'll update the story when the DNA results become available.

234
00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:27,000
Coming up, one day a millionaire heiress disappeared.

235
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:32,000
Ten years later, police discovered her body in a mysterious double life.

236
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:35,000
Who killed Camilla Lyman and why?

237
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:45,000
September 24, 1997, Hopkinson, Rhode Island.

238
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:52,000
Dog beater Greg Siner was cleaning out the kennels on his newest state when he made a shocking discovery.

239
00:23:52,000 --> 00:24:01,000
I was hosing down the kennel and I smelt a fall loader and thought that maybe the septic system wasn't working properly.

240
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:07,000
I decided to look inside to see if it needed to be pumped.

241
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:12,000
And when I did, there was a skull staring straight back at me.

242
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:23,000
Once I saw the bottom jaw, I realized it was human and just knew that this was Camilla.

243
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:28,000
Millionaire heiress Camilla Lyman, the estate's previous owner.

244
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:31,000
Ten years earlier, she had mysteriously vanished.

245
00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:36,000
In October 1998, dental records confirmed the skull was Camilla's.

246
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:38,000
Police determined she'd been murdered.

247
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:42,000
A missing person's case had suddenly become a homicide.

248
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:48,000
Ironically, the clues to Camilla Lyman's murder might not be found in the bizarre nature of her death,

249
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:52,000
but in the strange and mysterious nature of her life.

250
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:56,000
Camilla Lyman grew up rich.

251
00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:59,000
Her parents were old money Boston aristocrats.

252
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:03,000
Camilla shared her father's passion for show dogs.

253
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:08,000
Arthur Lyman soon discovered that his youngest daughter had quite a gift.

254
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:11,000
In the dog world, she was very successful.

255
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:14,000
She was a good handler and she was a good breeder.

256
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:17,000
And she showed her dogs extremely well.

257
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:19,000
She was very proficient.

258
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:23,000
Camilla never dated, never married.

259
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:25,000
Her dogs were her life.

260
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:30,000
A solitary spinster, she lived with her parents on their 100 acre estate.

261
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:33,000
Arthur Lyman died in 1968.

262
00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:38,000
When Camilla's mother died five years later, her world seemed to fall apart.

263
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:41,000
Forty, alone.

264
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:44,000
Her behavior became more and more bizarre.

265
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:49,000
Probably in the middle to late 70s,

266
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:55,000
it began to be apparent that the westward place was not being taken care of the way it should be.

267
00:25:57,000 --> 00:25:59,000
Camilla became a recluse.

268
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:03,000
She spent more time with her dogs than she did with people.

269
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:06,000
Camilla's appearance began to change as well.

270
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:10,000
She bought animal steroids, then took them herself.

271
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:14,000
Her voice deepened. She developed facial hair.

272
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:17,000
She began wearing men's clothing.

273
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:22,000
To the outside world, Camilla had been transformed into a middle-aged man.

274
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:26,000
And then my sister in California called me up and said,

275
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:29,000
hey, Camilla's on the TV dressed as a man.

276
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:30,000
What do you think?

277
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:33,000
And I said, well, I'd heard that she did sometimes do that.

278
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:39,000
In this rare video, shot in 1978, Camilla was dressed as a woman.

279
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:45,000
By 1985, she'd legally changed her name to Cam Leiman

280
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:47,000
and was dressing as a man.

281
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:52,000
It was shocking in a way and very surprising.

282
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:56,000
But because of your respect for people's privacy,

283
00:26:56,000 --> 00:27:00,000
unless Camilla wished to explain why she was doing this,

284
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:02,000
we didn't ask any questions about it.

285
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:04,000
We just accepted it the way it was.

286
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:10,000
I remember people talking about Camilla and the changing of her clothing

287
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:12,000
and her appearance.

288
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:15,000
But you have to remember, you were at dog shows.

289
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:17,000
You're judging dogs, not people.

290
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:22,000
I think Camilla felt very comfortable amongst her dog friends.

291
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:29,000
In the early 1980s, now dressing as a man, isolated from her family,

292
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:33,000
Cam became friends with fellow dog lover George O'Neill.

293
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:40,000
George O'Neill became the sole confidant, advisor, accountant,

294
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:43,000
and representative of Camilla.

295
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:48,000
He took care of paying her bills.

296
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:51,000
He took care of arranging for her to get to dog shows

297
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:53,000
and many times getting her to the shows.

298
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:57,000
He was a friend who she socialized with

299
00:27:57,000 --> 00:28:03,000
and had great confidence in his abilities to help her conduct her affairs.

300
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:11,000
As George O'Neill took over more and more duties and chores for Camilla,

301
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:13,000
he became her sole confidant.

302
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:16,000
She associated with no one other than George O'Neill.

303
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:19,000
Camilla became more and more eccentric.

304
00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:22,000
She would often carry a briefcase with hundreds of thousands of dollars

305
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:24,000
and large amounts of jewelry in it.

306
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:29,000
She would go out to the store and have $10,000 in her pocket to buy a quart of milk.

307
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:38,000
December 1987, Camilla's friends didn't receive their usual Christmas card.

308
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:41,000
Camilla hadn't been heard from for months.

309
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:46,000
Concerned, the family contacted the law firm in charge of the Lyman Trust.

310
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:49,000
They in turn hired Charles Allen.

311
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:56,000
They were very concerned because checks that had been sent to Camilla

312
00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:59,000
had rather than being endorsed with her signature,

313
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:03,000
were being endorsed with an account number of a bank account in Rhode Island.

314
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:10,000
Allen claims that George O'Neill had been depositing Camilla's trust fund checks.

315
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:14,000
He was surprised to discover O'Neill held Camilla's power of attorney.

316
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:20,000
Even more surprising to Allen, George O'Neill was Camilla's sole beneficiary

317
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:23,000
and stood to inherit her estate.

318
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:24,000
Yeah?

319
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:26,000
Mr. O'Neill, my name is Charles Allen.

320
00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:28,000
I'm here to inquire about Camilla Lyman.

321
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:30,000
I haven't seen her.

322
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:33,000
Mr. O'Neill did not express any concern for her safety.

323
00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:39,000
He felt that she had done this before and that she had just gone off on a trip.

324
00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:42,000
I understand all of that.

325
00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:47,000
Reportedly, O'Neill claimed he'd last spoken with Camilla in July 1987,

326
00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:49,000
a full year earlier.

327
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:52,000
In the middle of an argument, she hung up on him.

328
00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:59,000
He told me that on the following day, he went to Camilla's house

329
00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:02,000
and found the telephone ripped out of the wall

330
00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:05,000
and found no sign of Camilla

331
00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:08,000
and found her dogs unattended, unfed,

332
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:12,000
and found the kennel somewhat in disarray.

333
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:13,000
Camilla!

334
00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:19,000
Mr. O'Neill indicated that he felt that Camilla may have gone off to Europe

335
00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:21,000
to have a sex-change operation.

336
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:25,000
Camilla had been missing for over a year.

337
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:27,000
No police report had been filed.

338
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:30,000
Nobody in the family had been notified.

339
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:36,000
Yet according to Charles Allen, George O'Neill continued to deposit Camilla's checks.

340
00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:41,000
I found it very hard to believe that a woman who didn't like going to the dentist,

341
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:47,000
who didn't like going to the doctor, would go off to Europe and have a sex-change operation.

342
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:49,000
This woman didn't like leaving her home.

343
00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:56,000
George O'Neill hired full-time caretakers for the kennels.

344
00:30:56,000 --> 00:31:01,000
Greg Siners says O'Neill began showing Camilla's champion spaniel as his own.

345
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:08,000
Camilla was no longer around, but the dog was still out there being campaigned.

346
00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:13,000
He was now campaigned under the ownership of George and June O'Neill.

347
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:22,000
Charles Allen claims that much of Camilla's net worth from bank accounts to family heirlooms had simply disappeared.

348
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:26,000
We're talking about between three and five million dollars here.

349
00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:31,000
Some of that was in antiques, some of it was in money, some of it was in stock.

350
00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:34,000
And its whereabouts are unknown at this time.

351
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:40,000
And then there was the question of Camilla's beloved dogs.

352
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:47,000
When I first heard George O'Neill's story, I'd absolutely never crossed my mind that it was a true story

353
00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:52,000
because she never ever would have left her dogs. It was totally out of character.

354
00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:55,000
Any chance that we could maybe go over and get on the property and maybe take a look around?

355
00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:57,000
She's not there, I'm telling you.

356
00:31:57,000 --> 00:32:04,000
On a number of occasions I wanted to search the property and this search would have certainly included the septic system,

357
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:06,000
but George O'Neill would not allow it.

358
00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:12,000
In December 1994, a probate hearing was held.

359
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:16,000
Camilla Cam Lyman was declared legally dead.

360
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:20,000
Three years later, her body was found in the septic tank.

361
00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:32,000
The fact that we could bury Camilla and physically put an end to her life in a peaceful way was a wonderful sense of closure for us.

362
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:38,000
On the other hand, there's still more that we need to pursue.

363
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:46,000
We need to bring the person who committed this unbelievable crime to justice.

364
00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:54,000
A strange life, a mysterious death, a family searching for answers.

365
00:32:55,000 --> 00:33:10,000
Music

366
00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:16,000
Next, he's no ordinary investigator, but this is no ordinary case.

367
00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:20,000
Join us for a spine-tingling tour of a real haunted house.

368
00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:31,000
It seemed like a nice house, on a nice street, in a nice neighborhood.

369
00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:34,000
Nothing extraordinary about it at all.

370
00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:38,000
Or so thought Ed and Mary Woods of Vancouver, Washington.

371
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:43,000
But that was before the peculiar noises and the eerie encounters with things that go bump in the night.

372
00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:48,000
At first it was almost imperceptible.

373
00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:53,000
A quiet rattle, a slight chill, the barest whisper of a presence.

374
00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:57,000
Until some seven months after Ed and Mary moved in.

375
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:04,000
I've heard the sound of a music box.

376
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:08,000
It was very faint.

377
00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:20,000
I went into my husband's office and looked around.

378
00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:26,000
There was no sign of anything in there, but I kept hearing it.

379
00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:32,000
And it wasn't something I heard in my mind, like you would imagine it.

380
00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:35,000
It was an actual sound in the house.

381
00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:39,000
I thought somebody had opened up a music box and it was playing.

382
00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:44,000
The first time I had an experience where I noticed something actually happening,

383
00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:47,000
I was sitting in my office with the door closed.

384
00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:57,000
Mary had warned Ed that there was something very odd about the house.

385
00:34:57,000 --> 00:35:01,000
But Ed just assumed his daughter was playing a prank.

386
00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:05,000
I thought I'd surprise her by opening the door.

387
00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:08,000
There was nobody there.

388
00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:11,000
I checked and everyone in the house was asleep.

389
00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:17,000
I called University of Washington because they have a seismograph station down here.

390
00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:21,000
In Vancouver, monitoring the fault lines from Mount St. Helens.

391
00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:26,000
They told me at that time there were no fault lines running through the area.

392
00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:28,000
There was no underground aquifer.

393
00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:33,000
There was no weakness that could account for any type of movement in the house,

394
00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:37,000
other than normal settling that will happen with the house as it gets older.

395
00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:43,000
But if Mother Nature wasn't responsible,

396
00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:46,000
then who or what was stirring up all the trouble?

397
00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:49,000
Mary was about to find out.

398
00:35:57,000 --> 00:35:59,000
I actually saw the figure of a woman.

399
00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:05,000
She was about my height, wearing a scarf around her head and like a long, flannel night gown.

400
00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:09,000
I was not scared of her.

401
00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:13,000
I did not get the impression that she was mean.

402
00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:15,000
I was startled.

403
00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:18,000
I mean, you have something come out of the hall and you're going, okay.

404
00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:21,000
But no, I was not frightened of her.

405
00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:23,000
I was a startled buyer.

406
00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:28,000
After several encounters, Mary decided to do a little research.

407
00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:33,000
I have been able to identify her through going through records.

408
00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:36,000
She was a former resident.

409
00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:39,000
Who had died in the home of a prolonged illness.

410
00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:41,000
She had died of cancer.

411
00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:47,000
The latter part of her life towards him because of the heavy radiation and chemotherapy,

412
00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:50,000
she wore scarves because she had lost all her hair.

413
00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:54,000
And she practically lived in flannel night gowns.

414
00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:57,000
I get the feeling of protectiveness.

415
00:36:57,000 --> 00:36:59,000
Like she's watching over the kids.

416
00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:02,000
Going in, checking on the kids, making sure they're okay.

417
00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:08,000
I found out later that her children were in the same bedrooms that my children are in.

418
00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:11,000
And it could be she's just looking for hers.

419
00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:16,000
It didn't take long for word to get around.

420
00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:19,000
The house on 37th Street was haunted.

421
00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:22,000
Even the local newspaper wrote it up.

422
00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:25,000
About a week after the article came out,

423
00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:30,000
I received a phone call from the mother of one of my daughters.

424
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:34,000
She had known the woman who lived in the house prior to us.

425
00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:37,000
She had helped take care of her before she died.

426
00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:39,000
She asked me if I'd ever seen any pictures of her.

427
00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:41,000
I said no, I've never seen any pictures.

428
00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:44,000
She said the two of you could pass as twins.

429
00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:50,000
She said that might be one of the reasons that she's attached herself to you.

430
00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:54,000
It's because you're about the same age as she was when she passed away.

431
00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:57,000
And the two of you look quite a bit alike.

432
00:37:58,000 --> 00:38:01,000
But the lady in white was just the beginning.

433
00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:06,000
The first thing I actually saw was a man standing in the living room.

434
00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:08,000
What a must-see on the hill.

435
00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:13,000
It looked like an old riverboat gambler with a little ribbon tie and a mustache.

436
00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:17,000
You look at him twice because you're not too sure if he's going to do something.

437
00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:19,000
He never moves though.

438
00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:22,000
He's always perfectly still,

439
00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:24,000
just looking down the hallways.

440
00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:27,000
He seems just very inimical.

441
00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:30,000
I couldn't want to cross this guy.

442
00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:37,000
Yet another apparition, seen by both Ed and Mary, is far less sinister.

443
00:38:37,000 --> 00:38:39,000
They call her Pinky.

444
00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:46,000
Pinky is a little girl, 8 to 10 years old.

445
00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:51,000
And once in a while, you hear a giggle.

446
00:38:51,000 --> 00:38:54,000
First time, I thought it was our youngest daughter.

447
00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:57,000
We'd been sitting in the living room watching movies,

448
00:38:57,000 --> 00:39:01,000
and I thought it was my youngest daughter giggling at the movies.

449
00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:04,000
So I looked down and realized she had fallen asleep in front of the TV

450
00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:07,000
and was sound asleep, so there was no way.

451
00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:14,000
For Ed and Mary, the extraordinary was becoming commonplace.

452
00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:17,000
Consider the spirit in the story of the young woman.

453
00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:20,000
The extraordinary was becoming commonplace.

454
00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:22,000
Consider the spirit in the shower.

455
00:39:22,000 --> 00:39:25,000
Never seen, but definitely felt.

456
00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:31,000
Our cells and many people that have been guests of ours who have taken baths or showers

457
00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:36,000
have found themselves accompanied in the shower

458
00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:43,000
by a friendly hug and a general body rub that seems to be quite female in nature.

459
00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:47,000
It doesn't seem to matter if the person taking the shower is male or female.

460
00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:51,000
Somebody's been gone a long time, I think,

461
00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:55,000
and missed some of the things that the world had to provide.

462
00:39:57,000 --> 00:40:02,000
When Ed's son came to visit, he got the welcome of a lifetime.

463
00:40:02,000 --> 00:40:05,000
He went into the shower, came out, and the first thing out of his mouth

464
00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:08,000
is he looked at his dad and said, OK, what's with the shower?

465
00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:11,000
Honestly, I thought they were teasing me.

466
00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:14,000
I thought they were just giving me a line about the ghosts.

467
00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:17,000
About a week later, I went in and took a shower

468
00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:21,000
and got a very friendly hug, and I came out and I looked at my husband

469
00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:25,000
and I says, I think your ghosts like see their sex.

470
00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:30,000
According to Ed and Mary, the ghostly activities in the house

471
00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:34,000
often go beyond shadowy specters and gentle caresses.

472
00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:37,000
Four, five years?

473
00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:39,000
I mean, it's ridiculous.

474
00:40:39,000 --> 00:40:41,000
What?

475
00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:47,000
Now you'll hear a crash in the bathroom, and you walk back in.

476
00:40:47,000 --> 00:40:50,000
Everything will be laying down on the counters or on the floor.

477
00:40:50,000 --> 00:40:53,000
Nothing ever seems to be broken.

478
00:40:53,000 --> 00:40:56,000
You'll see things being moved around rattled,

479
00:40:56,000 --> 00:41:00,000
pictures being moved almost every day for about three or four months,

480
00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:03,000
and then it'll die down for a couple of months.

481
00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:10,000
I've come to accept it just under the fact that there are things in this world

482
00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:13,000
we can't explain.

483
00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:17,000
As far as the woodses were concerned, there was little doubt.

484
00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:19,000
The house was haunted.

485
00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:24,000
We called in an expert in all things paranormal,

486
00:41:24,000 --> 00:41:28,000
a professional ghost buster, if you will, to conduct a thorough investigation.

487
00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:33,000
Perhaps he could make some sense out of the house on 37th Street.

488
00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:35,000
All right.

489
00:41:35,000 --> 00:41:37,000
Let's go ahead and move down the hallway here.

490
00:41:37,000 --> 00:41:40,000
Now, I want you to tell me, both of you tell me just pretty much

491
00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:43,000
where we're at the Lady in White and where things happen.

492
00:41:43,000 --> 00:41:46,000
Lloyd Auerbach, a lecturer and writer, has been investigating

493
00:41:46,000 --> 00:41:49,000
paranormal phenomena for nearly two decades.

494
00:41:49,000 --> 00:41:53,000
Our cameras were on hand when he paid his first visit to the house.

495
00:41:53,000 --> 00:41:58,000
Auerbach came armed with an open mind and an instrument called a magnetometer.

496
00:41:58,000 --> 00:42:01,000
It was reading next to nothing, literally.

497
00:42:01,000 --> 00:42:07,000
The magnetometer that I use is sold for detecting whether or not you have electromagnetic pollution.

498
00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:10,000
It's not a ghost detector, by any way, shape or form.

499
00:42:10,000 --> 00:42:14,000
It's a good indicator that there's a physical connection in the environment to their experience

500
00:42:14,000 --> 00:42:18,000
that helps validate that they're not completely making it up in their minds.

501
00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:22,000
It helps me understand that they're not completely making it up in their minds also.

502
00:42:22,000 --> 00:42:24,000
There is some correlation.

503
00:42:26,000 --> 00:42:29,000
Our back painstakingly made its way through the house.

504
00:42:29,000 --> 00:42:32,000
OK, now we got a reading again.

505
00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:36,000
In several areas, the magnetometer spiked without explanation,

506
00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:39,000
most notably in the back bathroom.

507
00:42:39,000 --> 00:42:40,000
It's fairly high.

508
00:42:40,000 --> 00:42:41,000
The living room.

509
00:42:41,000 --> 00:42:43,000
I'm getting some things in the corner.

510
00:42:43,000 --> 00:42:44,000
And the hallway.

511
00:42:44,000 --> 00:42:46,000
I'm getting actually a high reading again, high energy reading,

512
00:42:46,000 --> 00:42:48,000
which I just kind of suddenly spiked up.

513
00:42:48,000 --> 00:42:52,000
This is a very unusual pattern that we're seeing here

514
00:42:52,000 --> 00:42:56,000
that seems to relate to the phenomena, or at least to the sensation of it,

515
00:42:56,000 --> 00:42:58,000
but doesn't seem to relate to anything else.

516
00:42:58,000 --> 00:43:02,000
So I can pretty much rule out the physical environment for causing this.

517
00:43:02,000 --> 00:43:05,000
You know how like a generator under the house somewhere, do you?

518
00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:06,000
No!

519
00:43:06,000 --> 00:43:08,000
Over the years I've done investigations.

520
00:43:08,000 --> 00:43:10,000
I have started feeling things myself.

521
00:43:10,000 --> 00:43:13,000
I wouldn't call myself by any means, a psychic.

522
00:43:13,000 --> 00:43:17,000
But I would say that I'm becoming more aware of my sensitivities.

523
00:43:17,000 --> 00:43:21,000
And I tend to get a sinus pressure that often makes me feel like

524
00:43:21,000 --> 00:43:24,000
I need more oxygen, which makes me yawn or start feeling tired.

525
00:43:24,000 --> 00:43:27,000
And this was happening to me on a cyclical basis while I've been here,

526
00:43:27,000 --> 00:43:30,000
and it was connecting directly to the magnetometer reading.

527
00:43:30,000 --> 00:43:32,000
You're feeling like somebody's around right now?

528
00:43:32,000 --> 00:43:33,000
Any sense of it?

529
00:43:33,000 --> 00:43:34,000
Well, once in a while.

530
00:43:34,000 --> 00:43:35,000
Just once in a while?

531
00:43:35,000 --> 00:43:39,000
For myself, there was an odd correspondence, I guess,

532
00:43:39,000 --> 00:43:43,000
with the spike in the meters, and I'd get a real cold feeling,

533
00:43:43,000 --> 00:43:48,000
or a chill down the back of my neck, or the hair on my arms would raise up.

534
00:43:48,000 --> 00:43:50,000
Like goosebumps.

535
00:43:50,000 --> 00:43:53,000
It didn't happen all the time.

536
00:43:55,000 --> 00:43:59,000
But on several of the occasions, I felt like there was somebody in the room.

537
00:43:59,000 --> 00:44:03,000
I don't know if I'm just picking up on things that have been going on,

538
00:44:03,000 --> 00:44:07,000
or if there actually was somebody there.

539
00:44:07,000 --> 00:44:11,000
No, this one I've seen several times, but he's been at the end of the hallway.

540
00:44:11,000 --> 00:44:14,000
Was somebody or something there?

541
00:44:14,000 --> 00:44:20,000
Perhaps a few agitated spirits trying to bridge the gulf between the dead and the living.

542
00:44:20,000 --> 00:44:24,000
Lloyd Auerbach believes it is possible, but by no means definite.

543
00:44:24,000 --> 00:44:30,000
Ed and Mary Woods, however, have moved beyond possibility to certainty.

544
00:44:30,000 --> 00:44:35,000
The stories we have examined are still shrouded in mystery,

545
00:44:35,000 --> 00:44:39,000
still needing at one final clue that will unlock the truth.

546
00:44:39,000 --> 00:44:43,000
Perhaps someone watching can shed light on these perplexing cases.

547
00:44:43,000 --> 00:44:46,000
Perhaps that someone is you.
