00:06You
00:33I would die!
00:41He actually came to the back of the table.
00:43And every time he was still here, he'd do some drawing.
00:46He had so much fun to eat, and he was too excited for that and everyone was on the table.
00:50He was...
00:56He was the one that he was watching.
00:58He different things to us, as shown as I'm talking to him.
00:59When I'm talking to partner with him, he's a god for his first time!
01:20Out of all the haunts in Utah, this cemetery holds quite a few creepy stories.
01:26Headstones bearing the number of the beast, mausoleums with ghostly faces staring back
01:31out at you.
01:32But no solid evidence of spirits or demons.
01:36That, my friends, is what me and my team will set out to do.
01:41Boo-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
01:43I want to split, and we gotta get this on.
01:46Get serious, I gotta split.
01:50it. We'll just use electronic devices to capture voices of what might be ghosts in haunted houses
01:57or buildings. ITC and EVP are the most popular ways of conducting studies. All we got to do is
02:05clean it up on a computer. Yeah, but if there's nothing, we should fake it. Ghost documentaries
02:12are always so boring because there's never any good proof. Just a bunch of speculations and hearsay.
02:18We have to bring something unique to the table that no one has experienced or it all goes
02:22nowhere. Yeah, well, Chris should already be on it. He's supposed to be researching local
02:29areas for actual hauntings. Oh, speaking of Chris, I forgot to tell you. His mom wished for
02:35the agency trying to sell the old Von Schaffert house. Wait, you mean like serial killer Von
02:40Schaffert house? The one and only. Anyways, he swiped the coat to the lockbox. He said
02:46he left a voice recorder in the house last night. He sent me a text while we were filming
02:50at the cemetery. He wants us to meet up at his place later tonight. I thought Von Schaffert
02:55was a murder case. Not a haunting. You think he got something? I don't know. I can never
03:01take him seriously. But if he did, then we got our story.
03:18And that's what it picked up. What freaks me out is this begins from the start of the recording.
03:26time. Right from the start. Which is impossible. Because I would have heard it as I walked down
03:34the hall. That house was empty.
03:38That's insane.
03:46This isn't another one of your pranks, is it? Because you know that won't fly in Johnson.
03:50Look, man. This is real. When I first heard it, my heart sank into my stomach. I couldn't
04:00sleep last night. Not even with the lights on. Every time I walk into a dark room, I feel like
04:09someone is standing behind me. You know that feeling? And you're scared to turn around
04:16because you think something's there.
04:21Alright, look. I say we do more research on the house. Back that file and we'll see if
04:30we can go back in that house tomorrow night.
04:32Go back? I want to go back to church.
04:38Look, Josh. I'm actually a little freaked out by this.
04:50Damn it. Caleb.
04:54You're an asshole.
04:56You're a jerk.
04:57And you make it fun every time.
05:00I wish I had seen the look on your faces.
05:03All right, Ghostbusters. What are we looking at?
05:09That's insane. I mean, it sounds like bullshit.
05:16But okay. Say this is not a prank. And those voices are really coming out of that house.
05:22I say we do more research like Josh said.
05:25And get a little bit more background on the house.
05:27Get more recordings. And see if we can make out what these sounds are.
05:30You can't be serious, Caleb. We all know what happened there.
05:34Yes. What happened back then was horrible.
05:37But this ghost aspect is something else.
05:40We could be onto something big here.
05:42A real haunting.
05:45You sound like a psycho.
05:46Babe, come on.
05:48I know it's real.
05:51It's upsetting.
05:52But this could be an opportunity.
05:58To get something unique.
06:00That no one's experienced before.
06:07But what if we're hearing it wrong?
06:09Oh, you heard it as well as I did.
06:12Look at Zoe.
06:13She's just as freaked out.
06:15Calm down. I'm just saying.
06:16Okay, enough.
06:19Whatever.
06:21Look, I couldn't find much online since it happened so long ago.
06:25So I'll hit up the library tomorrow and I'll look through the archives.
06:29And hopefully figure out what really happened there.
06:34Why don't you three go to the house and try to get some footage?
06:38I have a bad feeling about this.
06:42Stop!
06:44Hey.
06:46There's this girl, Carrie.
06:48She works at the library.
06:50She's way into the occult stuff.
06:53Maybe she'd know something about the Von Schaffert killings.
06:58And...
06:59If you could see if she's single?
07:05No.
07:08Okay.
07:11Okay.
07:52That's quite the stack you got there.
07:54Hmm?
07:56You doing some ghost hunting or something?
07:59Oh, um...
08:00Yeah.
08:02Kind of.
08:05I think you know my friend Chris.
08:07Chris?
08:09Yeah.
08:09He, um...
08:11Told me you might be able to help me.
08:12I'm looking for anything on the Von Schaffert legend.
08:17Oh, yeah!
08:18Oh, and you mean myth.
08:21Oh, well, um...
08:23I'm making a documentary about local urban legends, and I hear he is quite the character.
08:30Was.
08:33Legend has it that those who enter the Von Schaffert house shall be plagued by the events that brought his
08:38demise.
08:39He who see him shall be consumed by said events.
08:42Blah, blah, blah.
08:43Uh...
08:44Is that it?
08:45Honestly, there's not much to say.
08:48I mean, he was real, and he was an old man that used their daughter to lure people into their
08:53house.
08:54One time, a kid went missing, and all signs pointed to him.
08:57When the police finally figured it out, they searched his house and found three bodies.
09:02All kids.
09:04One boy with a broken neck.
09:06A girl with so many broken bones, her body barely made sense.
09:11And one kid with his eyes gouged out.
09:16And...
09:17The missing boy was one of them?
09:19No.
09:20He was never found.
09:22See, on the night when they found the bodies, Lars von Schaffert was gunned down in front of his house,
09:28when he tried to kill a cop with an axe.
09:31His daughter went missing, so there were no leads on the missing kid.
09:35So his daughter just disappeared?
09:37Well, six months after the shooting, this building was renovated into a library.
09:43And in doing so, they found a decomposing body in the basement.
09:48Forensics showed that it was the daughter.
09:50She died from a gunshot wound.
09:52It's speculated that she was shot by a stray bullet on the night that her father was killed.
09:57And she tried sneaking away into the basement to hide away, and she died from blood loss.
10:02The house is only a few blocks down, so it makes sense.
10:07But others say that she was in on the killing and luring of those kids,
10:12and she was dragged and brought here by angry parents, where they shot her.
10:17But there's no proof of that.
10:21Some say that she still haunts the very floors of this building,
10:25and you can see her sneaking around from time to time.
10:35That last bit isn't actually part of the myth, is it?
10:41Oh, very.
10:44Anyways, archives can be found across the corner from American History,
10:48down the hall, and to the left.
10:52Thanks.
10:53Happy haunting.
10:54Oh, and tell your friend Chris I say hi.
10:57Bye.
11:05Bye.
11:12Bye.
11:14Bye.
11:17Bye.
11:26I don't know.
11:54Oh, I'm sorry.
11:57I thought I saw a little grudge.
11:59Hey, are you okay?
12:01Yeah.
12:03I guess, uh, my mind's just playing tricks on me.
12:22What's up?
12:23Any luck on that history lesson?
12:26Nada.
12:27Just a bunch of BS on how old the house is, and I'm getting a headache from reading how boring
12:33the newspapers used to be.
12:36We tried calling Chris to see if he can let us in the house, but he's not replying to my
12:40text, and he won't answer the phone.
12:42We were thinking about stopping by his house.
12:44All right.
12:44Sounds like a good idea.
12:46I'll meet you over there.
12:47Bye.
12:52Chris?
12:53Josh, you've got to get to my house.
12:56Bring me equipment.
12:57Whatever is on that recorder is here now.
12:59It's in my house.
13:00What?
13:01Who's in your house?
13:03It's in my house.
13:05Whatever it is the recorder captured followed me here.
13:08Recorder in my...
13:10Don't...
13:11Message on it.
13:13Don't...
13:15I'm sorry.
13:34I've been knocking for a few minutes, but there's no response.
13:37The house looks empty.
13:38Have you tried calling?
13:39Yes.
13:40Straight to voicemail every time.
13:42Is he even here?
13:42His car is here.
13:44Just try opening the front door.
13:46He might be downstairs.
13:47What exactly did he say to you?
13:49Just to meet up here and bring the gear.
13:51Why?
13:52I think he found something on the recorder.
13:54He sounded all riled up.
13:56Maybe he's just trying to get us back for scaring him last night.
13:59I don't think so.
14:02Did you bring the gear?
14:04All right.
14:05Let's see what we can find.
14:19This kind of reminds me of that one scene in Poltergeist where the film crew and that psychic are going
14:24to try to attempt to make contact with the spirit of the house and save Carolyn.
14:31It's too dark in here.
14:33Is the camera even picking up anything?
14:41Chris!
14:42Chris, come on, man!
14:44Chris!
14:45Chris!
14:49Chris!
14:50It's not funny anymore!
14:53Dude, we told us how you're just walking to your room.
14:56You're trying to get us back for scaring you last night.
14:59It's not working.
15:36Where is he?
15:37I swear I saw him come in here.
15:39Relax, Zoe.
15:40He's just messing with us.
15:42Caleb.
15:43Take a look at this.
15:46Looks like he was just here.
15:50He found a lot more on that house than I did.
15:58Why don't you go take a look for Chris?
16:01I want to go through these articles.
16:03Wait.
16:04This doesn't feel right.
16:05I think we should leave.
16:06Hey, seriously?
16:07He's probably in the basement playing with the breakers, making the lights go off and on.
16:13What'd I tell you?
16:14It's just one of his shitty jokes that he always ends up taking too far.
16:17Caleb, you should go look in the basement.
16:21Sure.
16:22Send the camera guy to investigate.
16:24The footage will be gone when you find my dead body in the basement.
16:26Hey, you're the one who said that it was just Chris playing a bad prank.
16:29What are you afraid of?
16:30I'm not.
16:32I'm coming for you, Chris.
16:34I'm going to kick your ass when I find you.
16:36And see if you can get the lights turned on.
16:39You say it like he's not down there.
16:42Bye.
17:07I don't know.
17:17Chris!
17:19Your prank sucks!
17:22Ooh, flickering lights.
17:24Come on, Chris.
17:25This blows worse than my bloody Valentine.
17:30Oh, God.
17:31I didn't want to scare you out on a date. You scared your cat.
17:35Where are you, Chris?
17:39You're really gonna kick your ass when I find you.
17:43I'm behind door number one.
17:49Alright, Chris.
17:52Marco!
17:54I'm behind door number two.
18:01I'm behind door number three.
18:08Oh!
18:09What's up, handsome?
18:10Look at those curls.
18:13You're gonna do it behind door?
18:17Come on, Chris.
18:21I'm behind door number three.
18:25Come on, please.
18:31Oh!
18:33Oh!
18:36Oh!
18:48What the heck?
18:51Holy shit, are those?
18:56What the?
19:03Ah!
19:10Ah!
19:11Chris?
19:12Chris!
19:31Josh, I think we should go.
19:33I don't like being here.
19:35Zoe, try to relax.
19:37Caleb and Chris will be back soon, and we can just finish this and go home.
19:40Just saying, maybe we shouldn't have picked this subject for our documentary.
19:43No, this is how we stand out.
19:49What?
19:50What is it?
19:53Come on, let's get out of here.
19:55Finally.
19:59Caleb!
20:01Caleb!
20:03Caleb!
20:05Caleb!
20:06Caleb!
20:06Caleb!
20:08Caleb!
20:11Caleb!
20:13Caleb!
20:14Caleb!
20:15No!
20:16Zoe!
20:18Zoe!
20:26Josh, help me.
21:09What the fuck was that?
21:12Oh God, fuck, what the hell?
21:18Oh God, fuck, what the hell?
21:46Oh God, fuck, what the hell?
21:52Oh God, fuck, what the hell?
