00:05I released a curse from Shepardstown.
00:13After the paranormal team wrapped up their investigation last summer,
00:16things have certainly died down in Shepardstown, that's for sure.
00:20The problem is, I'm beginning to get all types of strange reports from the neighboring towns.
00:25Chief Fridge from the fire department, Shepardstown.
00:27I was referred by Martinsburg police.
00:34You know, maybe it's bigger than what I thought.
00:36Well, maybe it's bigger than Shepardstown.
00:40Last year, we had a very significant spike in unusual emergency calls.
00:46I gotta tell you, I've never seen anything like it in my 36 years of police work.
00:53I assembled a team of top paranormal investigators
00:56to help us solve some of these bizarre cases.
01:02There's somebody here.
01:03Go, go, go, follow it.
01:05There's a negative presence here.
01:07A lot of folks already believe Shepardstown is the most haunted town in the country.
01:11But now, the dark presence is back.
01:20And it's spreading.
01:34Shepardstown, please.
01:35Chief King.
01:35Hey, Mike.
01:36We just got a call for an odor of smoke in the old opera house.
01:40The call seemed pretty worked up.
01:42It's just something about paranormal activity.
01:47So the Charlestown Fire Department went in there.
01:49They didn't see any fire.
01:51No fire.
01:52But the manager had some pretty strange stories to tell them,
01:54and they said it was, quote, paranormal.
01:57Right.
01:57So how close is Charlestown to the Potomac River?
02:00Yeah, it's not.
02:01It's not close at all?
02:02No.
02:03Everything is south of us.
02:04I thought there'd be some sort of water because that was one of our theories.
02:08This dark energy, it's going away from the Potomac River,
02:11which doesn't make sense to me because I thought that this dark energy
02:15was moving and traveling through the Potomac River from Shepardstown as an energy source.
02:20This is why I gave you a call again because I seem to be the go-to guy
02:23where people call and they have problems that are not normal.
02:27Well, at least they're calling this stuff in now, right?
02:29Yeah.
02:31It's right up here.
02:32All right, let's go talk to her.
02:34All right.
02:37It's just an awesome location.
02:39This is cool looking.
02:50Hello?
02:51Anybody here?
02:58Hello?
03:01Hey.
03:01Hey.
03:02Thanks for coming.
03:03What's going on?
03:04I got a call from the fire captain?
03:06I've been working here for 12 years and I've been the director of the children's acting
03:10studio.
03:10Strange things have been happening for years.
03:12I used to think that it was just me and I thought that I was being paranoid, but then
03:16the kids started to notice things.
03:18And then after tonight, I knew that we're dealing with something paranormal.
03:22I opened the door, it smelled like smoke.
03:25The fire department got here and they found nothing.
03:28Okay.
03:29I'm going to go take a look downstairs.
03:31Let me know if you need anything, Mike.
03:32My walkie's on.
03:33All right.
03:33Will do.
03:34When did all this start?
03:35I've always had little things happen.
03:37The first show that I ever was in, I was with the director of the show and we shut down
03:42the building together.
03:43And when I walked out, we were talking in the parking lot and we saw the dressing room light
03:46go on from outside.
03:47And there are multiple times that we've been on stage and I feel like there's something
03:53watching from the pin rail.
03:55And when I look, there's nothing there.
03:56Even the other day, the little cord on the ceiling thing was hitting the light very repetitiously.
04:02Bing, bing, bing, bing.
04:04And it's never happened.
04:04So I pulled out my camera and as soon as I pulled my camera out, that swinging thing
04:09just stopped.
04:10Really?
04:11Like, still.
04:12So for 12 years, it's just been random innocent things?
04:16Yeah.
04:17Until tonight.
04:21We were finishing up rehearsal and all the kids had left.
04:24I was just going through all the rooms, making sure everything was picked up and turned off.
04:29And I realized I forgot my bag in the rehearsal hall.
04:42Then I heard something move, like it was coming from the basement.
04:47And that's when I smelled the smoke.
04:59Hello?
05:03Hello?
05:08Hello?
05:12And I felt like I was walking down to the bottom of the stairs.
05:41I just had to get out of there.
05:43You felt warm, like the sensation of something like a heat signature?
05:47Yeah, almost like I was like in a spotlight or by the fire.
05:51And I've felt other things here before, but nothing like that.
05:55Typically in a paranormal experience, you will feel the sensation of a cold mask.
05:59But I think this is very rare where she felt this heat.
06:03And warmer temperatures can sometimes point to something darker and more negative.
06:07Have the kids actually experienced something this dramatic that you just had happen to you?
06:12Nothing like this.
06:13The kids will always ask me if there are ghosts here.
06:16And, you know, I've always said, oh, you know, there's nothing negative here.
06:19Yeah, you don't want to scare the kids.
06:20Right, but whatever was in the basement, that's new.
06:23I want to make sure that this sort of thing doesn't happen to them, not when they're around, or to
06:29anybody, because...
06:32What was that?
06:34Something literally just fell behind the stage.
06:38What was that?
06:40I don't...
06:41Did you hear that?
06:42Yeah.
06:43It's almost like someone's walking around.
06:45Can we get up for a second?
06:46Yeah.
06:50Yeah, it came from...
06:51Actually, it came from right back here.
06:55Yeah, right here.
06:57Mike!
06:58Is that you?
07:00Hey, Mike, what's your location?
07:02I'm in the basement.
07:04We heard a clanging noise near the main stage.
07:06I'm guessing it wasn't you?
07:08Negative.
07:08It wasn't me.
07:11Like, this is not okay.
07:12It's like somebody was up there adjusting the lights or something.
07:18Does that happen?
07:19When you're in here by yourself, these type of things?
07:22I've honestly never had...
07:25Oh.
07:26Did you hear that again?
07:27It's like someone walking around up here.
07:30And there was a...
07:31There was a hit on the wall.
07:32Did you...
07:32You hear that, Scott?
07:34Yeah, I did.
07:36I can't find a natural explanation for the source of the noise.
07:40It definitely wasn't an old building moving or creaking.
07:43Something was banging right above us, and there was nothing there.
07:49It just seems like whatever this is is trying to get my attention.
07:53Can you take me to the spot where the entity passed right through you?
07:56Sure.
08:00It seems like a consistent temperature in here, though.
08:03So, I came here, and I just kind of stopped here, because I just wanted to see.
08:07I didn't want to go too far in case anything was...
08:09Yeah.
08:11Oh, this is crazy.
08:12I know.
08:14Watch that stuff.
08:14I got to this area, and I looked around.
08:19I didn't see anything, and then I felt like something...
08:24Something was here.
08:25Like, I just felt it first touch my seat.
08:29Hey, Mike.
08:30We're in the basement right now.
08:31What's going on?
08:32Hey, I found something down here you're definitely going to want to see.
08:36Where?
08:37Where are you?
08:38I'm in the back part of the basement.
08:39There's definitely been a fire here.
08:41All right.
08:42We're headed there now.
08:45Hey, Nick.
08:57Hey, I found something down here you're definitely going to want to see.
09:00All right.
09:01We're headed there now.
09:03Hey, Nick.
09:04Yeah.
09:04So, I'm back here.
09:05What'd you find?
09:06Oh, wow.
09:07I mean, this is not fresh, but there's definitely been a fire down here.
09:10I mean, I'm not a fire investigator, but I'd say right here was where everything happened.
09:14This is limestone, right?
09:16We have limestone here?
09:18Yeah, all this limestone is all charred up, and these beams right here.
09:21And look, see how charred these are?
09:24But look, these are fine.
09:26Ashley, did you know about a fire that took place here?
09:29You know, years ago, we had a patron come in and say that he was one of the responders
09:33for a fire here, but that was years ago.
09:37Mike found indication of a fire that looks like it took place here a very long time ago,
09:42which could be related to what Ashley experienced.
09:45It's almost like she's tuning into some sort of phantom fire.
09:49So, where are we right now in the opera house?
09:51We are, uh, we're under our green room right now, which is actually where the kids do their rehearsals.
09:59The kids dance right above?
10:01Yeah.
10:04We have to research more about this location.
10:06This is our third case with a haunted basement.
10:09I definitely think there's a pattern here.
10:11If it's okay with you, I'd love to come back, talk to some of the kids here,
10:15because I want to know what they have seen.
10:18I'll let them know.
10:26There's something that's triggering, not just the opera house.
10:29It's everywhere in these surrounding towns.
10:31So, where did we start?
10:32This is where we were the last time we were here.
10:35All of our cases were in Shepherdstown.
10:37Right.
10:38But our first case since we've been back has been Harper's Ferry,
10:41which went along the lines of this theme with water.
10:44And, you know, the same thing with Nina's house in Sharpsburg.
10:47Right.
10:48But then...
10:49We ended up in Martinsburg, and there was no water theme there.
10:51Exactly.
10:52This is kind of, like, moving us further away.
10:56And then now we're taking on this case in Charlestown.
10:59Back to Charlestown.
11:00So, that's two cases now that are moving us away from this water theme.
11:04But Shepherdstown is still the hub of it all.
11:06It's, like, still the central point of the activity.
11:09During our investigation in Shepherdstown last year,
11:11we were able to connect all the cases together to a woman from the 1700s
11:15who was drowned in the Potomac River because the villagers thought she was a witch.
11:21But these new hauntings seem to involve some sort of negative male presence
11:25that doesn't appear to have anything to do with the river at all.
11:28So, what's the first theme that we started recognizing at all these locations?
11:33I would still consider water as a possible theme, even though we're moving away.
11:37There's definitely some sort of underground theme because all these locations, we end up in the basement.
11:44Male presence seems to be the theme from all of our investigations so far.
11:48This dark, darker entity.
11:50Yeah, you know what I would put under that is attachment.
11:53Okay.
11:54Because I feel like this dark entity is definitely trying to attach itself.
11:57Remember, John was experiencing the first stages of possession in our Sharpsburg case.
12:04And then in Martinsburg, we had Jen Fortune's possession.
12:09He's all over me.
12:12Which, at every single location we've been to, that's exactly what has happened.
12:15Hey, Dana.
12:17Hey, Dana.
12:18So, what'd you find on the opera house?
12:20Okay.
12:21Was it anything to do with the fire?
12:22There was indeed a fire.
12:24There was?
12:24In 1951 at that location.
12:27It wasn't an opera house then.
12:29It was a pool hall.
12:31Percival Snyder, the owner of the pool hall, was the one who died there.
12:36Here's Percival's death certificate.
12:39He died of smoke inhalation and exposure to the heat.
12:43That makes perfect sense because, actually, the manager at the opera house, she was telling us that she felt this
12:48really warm sensation overtake her body where she couldn't breathe.
12:52So, where did Percival die?
12:54He died in the basement.
12:57I wonder if Percival Snyder is actually the one that's haunting the place.
13:02Burning to death is one of the most dramatic ways to die.
13:05And we could actually be dealing with the ghost of Percival Snyder.
13:09But why would he be haunting the theater now, so many years after his death?
13:14There's something else that you guys may be interested in.
13:18You had asked me about the caves and some of the other cases.
13:21Well, this is Charlestown.
13:25And you see these red lines?
13:26Yeah.
13:27Those are underground limestone caves.
13:31So, the opera house is practically built on top of the cavern system.
13:37This is crazy.
13:39This isn't the first time we've been heard by caves recently, either.
13:42No.
13:42Caves and basements.
13:45I mean, this is definitely another theme, I think, of ours.
13:48I have a picture here of what it looked like back in the day when they had parties in the
13:53caves.
13:54That's really cool.
13:54It is.
13:55Can you go down there anymore?
13:57No, the caves were all sealed off because they were contaminated by toxic gases.
14:02Okay, so we can't go down there.
14:04No.
14:04You said that there was limestone down in the basement of the...
14:07The whole foundation of the opera house is all built with limestone.
14:11Similar to water, the properties of limestone we've actually found to be, you know, a really great spiritual conductor.
14:18And it's also the foundation of all these locations that we've been investigating.
14:21I think we have our work cut out for us.
14:24I'll reach out to Lori.
14:25Okay.
14:25And see if she can do a psychic sweep.
14:28Do you want to head back over with me to the opera house?
14:30Yeah, let's go do that.
14:31Since Ashley actually never saw what was in the basement, we can't just assume it was the spirit of Percy.
14:37I think we need to talk to the kids who rehearsed there to see if they've seen anything so we
14:41can try to identify who the spirit is.
14:49Hey Ashley, how are you doing?
14:50Good to see you.
14:51Good to see you.
14:52So, uh, this is the acting class, guys.
14:54This is Nick and Elizabeth.
14:56Hello.
14:57You having fun?
14:58Yeah.
14:58Yeah?
14:59What are you guys doing right now?
15:00Oh, we're playing a taxi game.
15:02Taxi.
15:03Taxi game.
15:03Can I join you?
15:04Sure.
15:05Okay.
15:06Hey, what's up?
15:07This car's getting bigger.
15:08Where are we headed to?
15:09California.
15:11California?
15:11West Coast?
15:12I can't wait.
15:13You're going to California too?
15:14Yeah.
15:15Awesome.
15:16So, to be serious, because sometimes we have to be serious, unfortunately, what kind of strange things have you guys
15:22experienced here at the opera house?
15:26We hear footsteps and we go to check and there's no one there.
15:29Really?
15:30And the lights flicker on and off.
15:32Just randomly flicker on and off?
15:34If you're in acting or dance class, sometimes just turn off.
15:37Did it scare you?
15:38It freaks me out to go in here when the lights are off.
15:41Yeah.
15:42So, anything else that you can think of?
15:45Like, an occasional bell ringing.
15:47Bell ringing?
15:48Yeah.
15:48It's nothing really, but it's just a little, like, the sound of, like, bells are, like, jingling.
15:52Okay.
15:53So, has anybody actually seen anything?
15:56No.
15:57Okay.
15:58All right.
15:58Thank you, guys.
16:00I'll see you.
16:00Take care.
16:01We'll talk to you soon.
16:02Bye.
16:02Bye, guys.
16:02Bye.
16:03All right.
16:03See you next.
16:03Ashley.
16:04Hearing what all the kids have to say definitely validates that there's something going on.
16:08here, but because they haven't seen anything necessarily, it doesn't exactly help us figure
16:13out whether it's Percy Snyder haunting the opera house or some other entity.
16:18Everything that they experienced was really playful.
16:20Yeah.
16:21But then when we think about Ashley's experience, it was just a lot darker.
16:25Right.
16:25Hi.
16:26Sorry to interrupt.
16:27Is everything okay?
16:28Yeah.
16:29I just want to tell you guys something that I didn't feel comfortable telling the kids.
16:33Really?
16:45I just want to tell you guys something that I didn't feel comfortable telling the kids.
16:49Really?
16:50Just a few nights ago, I heard this faint ringing noise.
16:58I didn't know it was creating the ring, but I did know that it was from the balcony.
17:09When I got to the top of the stairs, I could see this faint gray figure.
17:22I didn't believe what I was seeing.
17:24It didn't have any facial features.
17:27It was just indents where the eyes, nose, and mouth should be.
17:32All of a sudden, she raised her hand and the bell rang again.
17:37And then she completely vanished.
17:41It was just pure, genuine fear.
17:43I had never been that scared in my entire life.
17:45How old would you say she was?
17:47Um, middle-aged to older.
17:49Could you make out any details on her?
17:51Like, what did she look like?
17:52She definitely had a gray dress on and, like, I remember right, like a wreath.
17:56There's something around her neck.
17:57I don't know.
17:57And that's the only time that you've seen her?
17:59That's the only time I've seen her.
18:01I thought I'm about dropping out of the show because I look up there and that's all I can think
18:04about.
18:04And I can't feel like my lines are going to blink.
18:06Really?
18:07I haven't seen the ghost lady again, but I have heard the bell ring.
18:12And something in me tells me that it's bad luck or a bad omen or something bad is definitely about
18:18to happen.
18:18I just hope I can be comfortable in here so I can perform next week.
18:22I'm sorry I couldn't be of more help.
18:23No, no, that's big help, actually.
18:25Having an actual description of a ghost is a huge clue for us.
18:29But what Addison saw is definitely not the ghost of Percy Snyder.
18:33So we might actually be dealing with multiple spirits at this location.
18:37All right.
18:38Lori's parking, so she should be here soon.
18:41Hi.
18:41How are you?
18:42So this is the theater room.
18:44You want to start there?
18:45Oof.
18:46It's a lot of energy here.
18:48Lori, as a psychic medium, can actually communicate with the dead.
18:52She doesn't like to know anything before she goes into a psychic suite because that can sometimes influence her first
18:58impressions.
18:59There's a lot of stories here.
19:03I hear a lot of laughing, crying.
19:11I'm being told to get off this stage.
19:13Get off my stage.
19:18Can we go up there?
19:20Yeah.
19:20Okay.
19:34There's an older woman here.
19:36I do censor her.
19:37You do?
19:39Okay, I'm going to let her channel through a little bit, okay?
19:47She's not a negative person at all.
19:49She really isn't, so I'm not threatened by her.
19:51Is this a place that she would frequent a lot, that she once lived here or work here?
19:57All the above, really.
19:59It was her home away from home.
20:00And she's trying to warn people that come in and out of this place.
20:07There's more to this story than you think.
20:10There is a negative here.
20:12But I don't believe he's here.
20:13I believe he's downstairs.
20:15Is there a downstairs?
20:16Yeah, there's actually a basement I can take you to.
20:19Okay.
20:19I've actually never been down in the basement.
20:42I just got this really crazy, I don't know.
20:49Vision, image?
20:50Mm-hmm.
20:51Of the negative.
20:52Negative.
20:53Like, he just walks back and forth very, like, uh...
20:57Yeah, I sense it behind you is what I feel.
21:00Monitoring us, I guess.
21:01Honestly, we don't really know what this negative entity is yet,
21:04and that makes it really hard to figure out what it wants,
21:07why it's here, and how to deal with it.
21:13Do you hear that?
21:15Yeah.
21:15Someone was shuffling back there.
21:17Yep.
21:17Somebody here?
21:20There's, uh...
21:21There's something back here, maybe?
21:24Hello?
21:25Um, my heart is just pounding big time.
21:27There's more.
21:28It is really bad.
21:42It is really bad.
21:45Be careful.
21:48Whoa!
21:49Oh, my God.
21:50No, no, no, no, no, no.
21:52Elizabeth, what are you feeling?
21:53I don't know.
21:54I felt like I was going to fall over just a second ago.
21:56Like, I just felt like I was being sucked...
21:58Drawn.
21:59Sucked.
22:00Yep.
22:00Down.
22:01Do you have a flashlight?
22:03Here, hold on.
22:03Oh, s***.
22:04It is in there.
22:05It's in there.
22:09What the hell happened down here?
22:11I feel...
22:12I feel like I need...
22:13I need to...
22:14I need to fall through here.
22:16What is down below us?
22:18Right here.
22:19Right in here.
22:20It's bigger than this, but it's right in here.
22:22Dana actually told us about this massive cavern right underneath of the opera house.
22:28This negative is down there.
22:31It's huge.
22:32And it doesn't want us down there.
22:46This negative is down there.
22:48It's big.
22:49It's huge.
22:50And it doesn't want us down there.
22:54The dark entity that you're picking up on, how long has this negative been here?
22:59This negative's been here for centuries.
23:03Is this entity male or is it female?
23:06It's neither.
23:09It's not human.
23:10It never was a human.
23:12If Lori's right about this negative entity being here for centuries and not ever being human,
23:18then there's a chance that we're not actually dealing with the spirit of Percy Snyder at all.
23:22We need to get down there where it lives.
23:24I mean, as far as I know, you know, everything's been sealed off.
23:27There's no way to get down there.
23:28We have to find a way.
23:31The dark entity is living under the ground, and it's going to take all of us to get rid of
23:35this negative.
23:36Because this thing that's below here, it's going to fight back.
23:39We'll have to try to drive it out.
23:41All right, you want to get out of here?
23:43Yeah.
23:54Hey, Dana.
23:55What did you dig up for us this time, Phil?
23:56Well, I was researching around Charlestown, and a lot of people there have seen this lady in gray in the
24:04old opera house.
24:06In fact, right prior to the 1951 fire, a woman was seen in the balcony in gray, frantically waving her
24:14fan like she was trying to get attention.
24:16That's what Addison was saying that she saw as a lady, but not waving her fan, but ringing a bell.
24:22And she heard a bell, too.
24:23Well, we know the lady in gray is there, but do we know who she is?
24:26Well, I'll tell you who I think she is.
24:31At the turn of the century, there was a prominent citizen in Charlestown named Annie G. Packett.
24:37She was a socialite, a maven of the arts, and influential person whose family tree included George Washington.
24:47And in 1910, Annie single-handedly raised $50,000 to construct a 500-seat theater.
24:56She hired the most prominent architect in Washington, D.C. to design and build it.
25:04And in 1911, the new opera house opened.
25:13And brought in a new era of music and theater and culture to Charlestown.
25:25This was her baby.
25:27I wouldn't be surprised if she stayed around to protect it.
25:31But did she actually pass away in the opera house, though?
25:34No, no, no.
25:35She didn't pass away in the building, but I do have her death record here.
25:39She passed away in 1943 of heart and kidney problems.
25:46Is there any connection between Percival and Annie?
25:50I have some deeds here that showed that Percy rented part of the opera house from Annie G. Packett in
25:591940.
26:00So that would make them business partners, then.
26:04Right.
26:04So do you guys actually think maybe this woman in gray is trying to alert us about Percy?
26:10I wouldn't necessarily say alert us about Percy, just because when I was walking through with Laurie, she wasn't tuning
26:16into the spirit of Percy at all.
26:18And she did mention that whatever this entity was, it was ancient, that it had been there for centuries.
26:24Originally, Annie was seen waving this fan to warn patrons of fire that was about to start.
26:30Maybe now she's using this bell to warn people about whatever negative presence is down in the basement.
26:35Well, there's a couple of other things.
26:37You know, the cave system under Charlestown?
26:41It's not just Charlestown.
26:43There's a whole network of tunnels and caves under the whole area.
26:48You mean all of the locations, all of them are connected by tunnels?
26:51We don't know that they're all connected, but every location has caves.
26:55So far, it's had something.
26:57Let's just take a minute to actually work through all of this.
27:00Our first case was in Harper's Ferry.
27:02What do we know about Harper's Ferry?
27:04Well, there's caves there.
27:05They're on private property, and they're closed off.
27:08We also know that there was limestone also present at this location.
27:12Sharpsburg with Nina.
27:13Yep, nice caves there, too.
27:15Yeah, that's where the Native Americans stalled refuge.
27:17Our next case was in Martinsburg.
27:19I think during our investigation, we asked the spirits how they were getting there, and
27:24they said they were caves.
27:25And it said 2,000 years ago, too.
27:27And now we have our case in Charlestown, which we absolutely know that there's that massive
27:31cave underneath the opera house.
27:34We've been missing the biggest clue of them all.
27:36It's under the ground.
27:37We thought we've been dealing with different dark entities, but it's very possible that we've
27:42been dealing with the same one the entire time.
27:44I mean, this just takes the investigation to a whole new level.
27:47If we can't get into the cave system, Rory did say that we could try to lure it out somehow
27:54and take care of it that way.
27:55So I think it's really important to conduct this night investigation and figure out if
27:59we can do just that.
28:01Let's go confront this negative entity.
28:12We're getting set up right now.
28:13We have the whole entire opera house to ourself.
28:15We want to try to make contact with Energy Packet, the lady in gray, who has been seen
28:20up there on the balcony.
28:21There's also a negative presence in the basement, but we're going to try to confront and get rid
28:25of it.
28:26The command center is right outside this door.
28:28We have all these infrared night vision cameras set throughout the whole entire opera house.
28:33So camera one is where the charred remains of the fire is found, and it's also where
28:36Laurie believes that there is an opening to a cave.
28:40I'm setting up Pandora's box, which is a wide-angle infrared motion detector.
28:44What's really cool about it is that if it picks up on any motion, an audible alarm will
28:48sound, and then it'll rotate to monitor the other sides of the room.
28:52Camera two is where Addison says she sees the gray lady.
28:55We have the GTS that monitors ground, temperature, and sound.
28:59If the lady in gray makes physical contact with this reality, this will detect it.
29:03Camera three is a full view of the rehearsal studio right from the basement door, and number
29:08four is a full view of the theater itself.
29:11Hey, guys.
29:13Hey, Laurie.
29:13Hey, Laurie.
29:14So since we can't get into the cave system, then, Laurie, you're going to try your best
29:17to bring out this negative entity back up so we can actually confront this.
29:22I want to bring it up, out of the ground, out of those caves, and then I want to be
29:25able to demolish it.
29:27This negative wants to scare us, but we have to scare it back.
29:30To be able to destroy this thing, you have to envision yourself destroying it.
29:34It feeds off your thoughts.
29:35So if you're not believing in it, and you're not fearing it, it pretty much gets rid of
29:40itself.
29:40While you're doing that, we'll try to communicate through our devices.
29:44Yep.
29:44Because it seems like these spirits are trying to warn the living to get away from this
29:48negative.
29:48Most definitely.
29:48I think we need Annie's help to get rid of this thing.
29:51Oh, yeah.
29:52So let's just keep our guards up.
29:54All right.
29:54You guys ready?
29:55Absolutely.
29:55Let's do this.
29:57To cover the entire theater, we're going to have Laurie start at the main stage while
30:01Nick and I go and check out the kids' rehearsal room.
30:04The sun's slowly going down.
30:05We're going to get all the lights shut off and see if we can talk to the other side.
30:23It's very weird what I see and feel.
30:26There's a concerned feeling that I'm getting.
30:32I'm just getting goosebumps all through my entire body.
30:40Oh, wow.
30:41There she is.
30:42I see her.
30:44Hey, Bill.
30:45Go ahead.
30:46Um, I'm sensing and seeing the lady on the balcony.
30:50Are you seeing anything with your cameras?
30:52Jesus.
30:53The device that's up there, it is flickering like crazy.
31:06Okay.
31:08There she is.
31:10Hey, Bill.
31:12Go ahead.
31:13Um, I'm sensing and seeing the lady on the balcony.
31:17Are you seeing anything with your cameras?
31:19Jesus.
31:19I'm looking at the device that's up there, and it is flickering like crazy.
31:23Okay, because I'm seeing her.
31:25Is there any way we can send Elizabeth and Nick up?
31:27I'm going to run over there now.
31:31Hold on.
31:32She's telling me something.
31:36The lady on the balcony is wanting me to go to the basement.
31:39She wants to help.
31:41Hey, guys.
31:42Hey.
31:43I'm looking up, and she's standing right there, and she's worried.
31:47She's giving me that, you know, the hyper feeling of she's worried about something.
31:52I hear the bell.
31:54Do you hear that?
31:55No, I can't hear it.
31:57I don't know what her name is, even though I still see everything about her.
32:00Her name is, what is it?
32:02Uh, Annie.
32:03Annie.
32:04Okay.
32:04Let's do an experiment.
32:05Okay.
32:06How about, if you want, take the geoport.
32:08I'll go up there.
32:09I'll try to communicate with Annie, and then if you go down here...
32:12You'll ask the questions, and I'll see what comes to Ronnie and receive again.
32:15Yeah, let's do that.
32:16What I'm going to do is, I'm going to go to that basement.
32:18All right, walk here, so if anything happens...
32:20Guys, be careful, please.
32:21Yes, you too, Lori.
32:27Yeah, I have to go down that basement.
32:35Don't come down here.
32:36That's what I just got her told.
32:37Don't come down here.
32:51It's making me feel, um, anxious.
32:59Elizabeth's going to be downstairs on the first floor, but she's going to be using the geoport,
33:03which works on electricity, EMF, vibrational wave, and radio frequencies,
33:08and it takes all of them and it modulates them into audio.
33:10Hopefully, Annie can communicate with us.
33:14All right, I'm up on the second floor in the balcony where Addison saw this lady in gray.
33:19Looks like I'm being watched.
33:21Standing up here, it does feel like there is somebody up here.
33:23You can totally feel the energy.
33:26Hey, Nick.
33:27I'm ready for you to start asking questions.
33:29I'll be there.
33:30We're using a different approach with the geoport by having Nick go upstairs where I can't hear him,
33:35so whatever responses I do get can't be influenced by the questions he's asking.
33:41Is there someone over here?
33:45So, look at that.
33:46Nick is on the other side of the balcony and GTS is going off again.
33:49It's going crazy.
33:54Are you the one that everyone's been seen?
34:00Can you show yourself for me?
34:04Are you the woman in gray?
34:12I swear to God, I just heard packet.
34:15What did you just ask?
34:17I just asked if she's the lady in gray.
34:21I got a very clear response from the geoport.
34:27Oh, wow.
34:28That's crazy.
34:32Annie, are you up here with me?
34:39Are you trying to warn people from that negative spirit that's here?
34:44Hello?
34:46It seems like whatever this is, it's overpowering everybody else from talking.
34:52Annie, is the negative entity in the basement in the caves?
34:58Ha ha.
35:00Whoa.
35:02What did you just ask?
35:04If the negative entity is in the basement or the caves.
35:07Oh, my God.
35:08That's so crazy.
35:10Geoport just went ha ha ha ha really loud.
35:15This is nuts.
35:17Y'all hear that?
35:18It's laughing.
35:22I'm telling you, something's in here.
35:25I know you're here.
35:31I just heard a growl.
35:36Oh, I can see it.
35:37This thing is moving and we have to go.
35:40Hey, guys, I'm downstairs in the basement.
35:43I need you in the basement now.
35:44Lori, I'm going to come to you right now.
35:46All right, I'm on my way.
35:48It's pissed.
35:49I know you're down here.
35:52What in the hell?
35:54Lori, are you okay?
35:55Oh, Lord Jesus God, help.
35:57Lori?
35:58Lori?
36:10Oh, Lord Jesus God, help.
36:13Lori, are you okay?
36:15Look.
36:17What's going on?
36:18I started following the negative and then all of a sudden I trip over a bell.
36:23What?
36:24Like it just appeared?
36:26Yes.
36:28Where did that appear from?
36:29Right around here.
36:30I'm coming through here.
36:32I felt something.
36:33All of a sudden the bell went.
36:35It wasn't there before?
36:37No.
36:37I walked through the hallway a couple times.
36:40And it wasn't there before that?
36:41Nothing was in my way.
36:42It was like she took over me and I went through this place.
36:45Like I knew this place.
36:46Like I lived here.
36:47I can't believe that.
36:49I mean, I know theaters have costumes and props, but I don't think it's coincidence that
36:55this antique looking bell just suddenly appeared in front of Lori.
36:58I honestly believe that Annie Packett is trying to tell us something.
37:01You know, she protects this place with bell.
37:03That's the question I was asking too.
37:05I go, are you protecting people?
37:07Is that why the bells, are you protecting people from the negative entity?
37:10But I believe that Annie wants to stay.
37:13She loves the place.
37:14She loves the opera.
37:15I think they're fine with Annie.
37:17Yeah.
37:17I think everybody's fine with Annie.
37:19Especially once they hear that the whole reason she's been here was to protect the location.
37:23I know what she wants.
37:25She wants me to pull that negative out of here.
37:28I think we should use this bell and see what it has to say.
37:31Because Addison saw the lady in gray ringing a bell, we're going to try to use this bell as
37:36a trigger object.
37:37Trigger objects can actually have meaning.
37:39They can hold the energy from the person that was once living that used these objects.
37:42Hopefully, we can try to lure out this dark entity and communicate with it through the
37:47geoport.
37:53Whoa.
37:55Get out of here.
38:01Okay, now stop and see what happens.
38:05I don't like it.
38:10You're not supposed to like it.
38:12Where are you?
38:16Underground.
38:17Underground.
38:18Underground.
38:18Yeah, it said underground.
38:19Where are you?
38:29This thing is pissed.
38:31Bring yourself forward.
38:38Whoa, it's getting pissed.
38:40It's getting mad.
38:40It's coming to us.
38:42Hey, guys.
38:43What's the matter, Bill?
38:45Everything is going nuts inside there.
38:49Are you guys okay?
38:51I don't know.
38:56Oh, wow.
38:57It's very strong.
38:58Change of plans, guys.
39:00It's too powerful to confront right now.
39:02My meter's going off like crazy.
39:05And Dora's box is going off like something is going past it.
39:07Let's go there.
39:08All right, let's go.
39:11Be careful.
39:13We need to seal this negative underground right now.
39:16What I want to do is I'm going to put a shield above the ground to where it cannot come
39:21back through.
39:24What I'm doing with this belt is space clearing.
39:27Certain tones can purify, clear, and heal certain places.
39:31I'm basically retuning the atmosphere.
39:33And what this does is it puts a positive vibration out and it keeps the negative away.
39:39It's cursing at you.
39:40Because it's pissed off.
39:54I'm going to take the sage and I'm going to make a cross that keeps it away.
40:01Entrap anything to be able to come through.
40:17Can we stay with you for a second?
40:18Yeah, it's fine.
40:19We had some stuff that happened to us during our investigation here.
40:22Okay.
40:23And we think the lady in gray is Annie G. Packett, who was the founder of the Opera House.
40:27That's amazing.
40:28After the investigation, Elizabeth and I walked through the building one last time.
40:33She's absolutely protecting this place.
40:36Annie, are you still here with us?
40:39You see that?
40:41Annie, thank you so much for helping us today on our investigation.
40:46We sealed the negative entity underground so it can't hurt anyone anymore.
40:53I think it's her way of saying thank you.
40:56We believe she's here.
40:58We believe that it's a peaceful entity who's overlooking anything negative coming in.
41:03The ghost of Annie Packett, she's not going anywhere.
41:06She's kind of like the guardian angel of the theater.
41:09And as long as people understand that, there's no reason for anyone to be afraid of her anymore.
41:14So why don't you show them some of the pictures?
41:16Well, this is Annie G. Packett.
41:18Both as a younger woman and an older woman.
41:22That's definitely what she looked like.
41:23I said it looked like a wreath and that's exactly what I saw.
41:27So with the dark presence that's in the basement, is that going to come back?
41:32Lori managed to seal it underground where we believe it came from.
41:36So it does not come back into this location.
41:39That's reassuring.
41:40Yeah.
41:40I definitely think that we haven't gotten rid of the dark entity yet.
41:44But I do think Lori has managed to lock it out in the theater for now.
41:47So it can't hurt Ashley or any of the kids.
42:08That was good.
42:19It's been crazy lately.
42:20I agree.
42:21You know, we have a new theory going on that this dark entity is actually using these limestone
42:24cave systems to travel from one town to the next.
42:28I haven't had any calls in the last few days.
42:30So, I mean, I'm keeping my fingers crossed right now.
42:33I've battled some dark forces through my years.
42:35But this is by far one of the most powerful entities I've ever had to face.
42:39It's only a matter of time before it strikes again somewhere else.
42:43We have to find some way to get down into those caves.
42:47All right.
42:47I'll keep you in the loop, man.
42:49Talk soon.
