[Shari] We'll leave you alone in this room.
[Jason] You can talk to any of these devices.
[person whispering]
[Jason] A jail from the Wild West...
There was early reports of death within the Bastille.
[Jason] ...has Chandler Riggs and the TAPS...
-Hey, you guys. -Nice to meet you.
[Jason] ...closing in on the walking dead from behind bars.
No!
He walked into what I thought was a door.
It was a brick wall.
[indistinct chatter]
[whispers] Did you hear a little kid?
You feel guilty.
[ringing]
[Jason] What the [bleep] was that?
The Bastille in Hanford, California.
Man, this is gonna be cool.
This place has been around for 125 years,
and I love places that
have seen different reiterations over time.
It was an old jail, and it's been bars,
it's been restaurants, I love that.
[Jason] TAPS has been called to Hanford, California
to investigate the Bastille.
This former jail built during the Wild West heyday
had a reputation for inhumane conditions.
It now sits abandoned
with remanence of its horrific past
and stories of frightening hauntings.
There's been claims of paranormal activity,
they have gone on for decades.
[Steve] Some people are feeling like
they're being followed around the building.
Hmm.
[Jason] There is claims of people seeing
the apparitions of former inmate,
uh, former jailer,
shadow figures.
Uh, you gotta think,
people taking their own lives,
just gruesome ways of people dying, I mean,
it's possible that this place could hold a lot of that energy from the past.
[Steve] Even now people are trying to rent out some of the spaces,
but people are afraid of it.
[Shari] Can't wait to investigate.
Let's do it.
[Jason] Later in the investigation,
Satori and Cody are going to be with us.
Yes.
And we've got our good friend,
Chandler Riggs from The Walking Dead.
[Steve] Man, he's always said that
he would love to come along with us
and investigate this on his own,
and what a great way to have him.
[Jason] Absolutely.
I'm excited to see how he can help.
Look at this.
-[Shari] Oh, wow. -[Dave] Wow.
TAPS Case, The Bastille, Hanford, California.
-Hi, Randy. -Hi.
-Jason Hawes. -Nice to meet you.
-Steve. -Nice to meet you, Steve.
Wow, thanks for having us.
-You bet. -[Steve] Yeah.
So what's some of the history of this property?
Well, this was the first, uh, real jail for Kings County.
Uh, you know, in those days in 1897,
this was still Wild West town,
everybody carried guns,
and they had, uh, everything from
murderers, um, clear up to the town drunks.
And, uh, over a period of years,
it inflated from about 65 inmates,
which is what it was designed for,
to about 204.
So they housed women and men in this building.
-Yes. Yeah. -Okay, were there children here?
[Randy] Up until 1957,
they had women and children on the second floor.
What were the conditions like
when it had 204 people in here?
[Randy] Terrible, when it's cold, it stayed cold
with all the granite around the structure and brick.
And when it got hot, it stayed hot a long time.
[Jason] Due to its overcrowding,
torturous and unsanitary living conditions,
many prisoners died during its days of operation.
[Jason] When was it a jail up till?
1964.
And then after that, the County used it for storage.
[Jason] In the 80s, the building was remodeled
and turned into a bar named the Bastille.
Restaurants came and went over the years.
And in 2009, the building was boarded up and closed.
Today, the Bastille is owned by the city
and remains unoccupied.
[Steve] What have you heard from people over the years about the building?
[Randy] There's been a lot of stories about what's going on here.
Some of the people were concerned about working in here.
[Jason] We hear that there is claims of just
all crazy types of activity that go on here.
Fill us in on that.
[Randy] There is word of seeing a woman's face in the windows.
-Uh-- -Any window specifically or...
[Randy] The windows in the tower.
[Jason] So now we also heard reports,
it appears like lights are on in here when they are not.
I hear things like that all the time.
Especially upstairs.
What could be like candlelight or maybe lantern light
-which would've been, you know, in the time. -Common back then.
So what's the claims here on the first floor?
[Randy] People have a feeling like they're being touched.
Like, a presence in here that they can't explain.
Often times, our employees would open by themselves or close by themselves,
and we started to have employees say they saw something.
Or they were downstairs cleaning,
and they saw somebody upstairs looking down,
and where they felt a presence next to them.
It was a really creepy time.
There were a lot of things that were unexplainable.
And there's been a lot of different claims of shadow type things
people have been seeing as well?
Yeah, um, in the solitary confinement cells.
Also on the first floor, near solitary confinement,
a male apparition has been seen.
I turn my head over my right shoulder,
and I've seen a guy,
and he was just staring there with a blank look on his face,
and then he walked into what I thought was a doorway,
and I looked, I see that it was a brick wall.
I know the Bastille is haunted.
So what about the second floor?
The barkeeper that was last here,
turned a shoulder and looked up that way,
and he could just make out the upper level,
and he saw a jailer in appropriate cloths
for that time period back maybe in the 20s,
standing like you and me, right here.
And then he kinda took a doubletake,
and he was gone.
Not an inmate...
-[Randy] Right. -...but a prison worker
-a guard or an overseer of sorts. Okay. -[Randy] Yes. Mmm-hmm.
So were there any deaths that you know off on the property?
[Randy] The common story is,
uh, a girl named Mary that, uh,
hung herself.
That is the one that they think they're seeing in the window.
[Jason] People have also seen a female apparition
in 1920s clothing on the staircase.
So what are you hoping that we're able to accomplish here?
So many people have similar stories that
something's going on that we can't explain.
People are really scared
that the Bastille is not a good venue for a new business,
and so if you guys can figure out
some kind of explanation of what's going on,
that, that'd be great.
All right, I think from here, we're gonna go talk to the rest of the crew,
start figuring out set up,
and, uh, go from there.
Lot of great info, thank you very much.
-Thank you. -All right, we'll talk to you soon.
Hey.
We just got done talking to Randy.
I mean, there's claims of them seeing a lady Mary in the windows,
-[Dave] Hmm. -And local legend says that this lady Mary took her life,
and, uh, she's still here.
What's kinda interesting is at some point in time,
on the second floor, they did house women and juveniles.
Oh, really?
[Jason] I mean, if you broke the law,
this was the only place they had for you,
so they put you in there with the rest of the people
no matter what they had done.
It was the Wild West.
All right, well, I say, let's, uh, start getting stuff step up
-and get investigating. -It's time.
[Steve] Behind me is the Bastille,
this was an old jail from the days of the Wild West.
There were murderers in there,
there were insane people in there,
people died in there, so this really is almost a perfect storm
for paranormal phenomena.
All right, uh, that camera needs to be straightened.
They have a big concern that
people are so uncomfortable, they don't wanna go in there,
and that's a big issue.
Nobody wants to rent it.
And it's been sitting here for about 13, 14 years vacant,
so we're gonna do the best we can to try to figure out
what's truly going on here at the Bastille.
-All right, guys. -Hey.
We're all set.
So everywhere there is a claim, we have a camera.
- [Jason] Great, amazing coverage. - [Steve] Yeah.
-[Jason] And it's just us tonight. -Yup.
[Jason] Chandler, Satori, and Cody will be here tomorrow,
-so get ready to investigate. -[Steve] Yeah.
All right, so, I mean, Shari, if you want,
you and I could head in first.
Absolutely.
-Dave and I can man center here. -Yeah.
-Remember, there's claims out here, too, so. -Yeah, true. Yeah.
[Jason] Jay and Shari, heading into Bastille.
All right.
If there's somebody here...
...can you come down the stairs?
So we can talk to you.
[tracker chiming]
[device beeps]
[Shari] What is that?
[Jason] Sounds like somebody dragging something.
[loud thud]
[Shari whispers] What is it?
[loud thud]
-Yep. -[Jason] Yeah.
It keeps on sounding like somebody walking upstairs.
Mmm.
[loud thud]
[Shari] We heard that.
This is where they see the woman
going up and down the stairs.
-[device beeps] -[door opens]
[Shari] I heard your foot tracker just go off.
-[device beeps] -[Jason] Yeah, it's going off.
I'm... I'm gonna put this...
vibration sensor upstairs.
[Shari] Are there any prisoners here with us?
This is where the guard was, right?
[Jason] Yeah.
Let's set these cigarettes and booze right here
as a trigger object.
[Shari] Okay.
We brought them in here for you,
so you can go ahead and take it.
[Jason] I'm sure you've heard of the urban legend of Mary.
We'd like to talk with you.
[Shari] Mary, are you the woman that people see in the window?
You know, I actually wonder
if the lights that people are seeing,
like a glow, like a lantern, if it's a car,
like, on the other end that people can't see.
Yeah.
[Steve] This is Steve for Jay and Shari.
[Shari] Go for Jay and Shari.
Tango and I are out here talking about,
uh, these lights that they're seeing.
So, we're wondering if we drive around,
it may make sense to have you guys outside
seeing if there's an internal illumination.
[Jason] All right, 10-4.
[Shari] We'll leave you alone in this room.
I wanted to leave the camera in here.
[Jason] Yeah, I'm gonna leave my recorder in here, too.
I mean, you can talk to any of these devices.
You can take the cigarettes. You can take the alcohol.
-[whispers] After you. -[Shari whispers] Thank you.
[door squeaks]
[voice on device] I think they're gone.
[wolf howling]
Steve, you got a walkie, right?
[Steve] Yep.
-[Dave] Driver? Drive me. -[Steve] Yes, yes.
[Shari] There are claims,
they see lights going on and there's nobody in there.
All right, Jay and Shari,
we are, uh, on our way out to the street.
Gotcha.
[Dave] Let us know if you see anything.
[Jason] Yeah, I'm not seeing anything.
[Dave] Okay, we are turning back now.
[Jason] See anything?
[Shari] You could see just the reflection
-of the lamp, but that's it. -[Jason] Yeah.
-Looks like an alien head. -[Shari] Yeah, oh, my God.
[Jason] Seeing a lady in the window
is one of the claims.
You know what, if somebody took a picture of that,
they'd be like, "Holy crap,
-there's something in there." -Oh, definitely, yeah.
That one's creepy.
-[Dave] We're here. -[car doors closing]
So, anything? Anything at all?
No. I mean, we caught this crazy thing in the window, though.
Oh, what is that?
[Dave] Is that what people are seeing?
I don't know.
[Steve] It could look like a lady's head.
Is it just a lamp?
[Shari] No, it's the chandelier.
[Dave] Wow, yes.
[Jason] What is in the window?
I'm gonna have to shoot that down.
Yeah, I think so.
[Jason] All right, well...
So, do you guys wanna head there?
[Steve] Yeah.
All right.
-Bastille... -[door opens]
...you've met your match.
[doors creaking]
I love these gate doors.
[Dave] What is that? You gotta be [bleep] me!
I felt like something touched my back.
-[Steve] You did? -[Dave] Yeah.
[Steve] We've been in here two seconds.
[Dave speaking]
But I'm standing here,
and I felt it, like, right in here.
I don't feel anything.
[Dave] I mean, that was the claim here.
-[thud] -Ooh.
-That was coming from in there 100%. -Oh, yeah, 100%.
Could be a boot.
-[Dave] Sounds of boots. -[Steve] Sounds of boots.
[Dave] 'Cause that would make a sound like that.
So, they've seen multiple apparitions in this area.
They've seen... looked like a jailor.
Over here, they saw a man who walked through a wall.
-Maybe there is a doorway that isn't there now. -[Dave] Right.
-[Steve] You know? -[Dave] And that would be very interesting.
Steve and Dave, we are in solitary.
And this is where they've seen shadow figures
walking up and down the corridor.
Ooh!
[Dave] What?
I just felt like I was going to back up into somebody.
[Dave] Mmm-hmm.
Like, there is something there behind me.
And I started to say "Excuse me."
[Dave] Did you see anything?
-Like, you're being followed? -[Steve] No. I don't know what to make of it.
Well, so far, that's two times
-something with... behind us, you know? -Yeah.
[Dave] Uh...
[Steve] Hello?
Is it possible that people are seeing you in here?
[Dave] Mmm.
[clicking on device]
[gasps]
[Steve] That was footsteps.
[loud thud]
Ooh.
That was, like, above us.
[low tone]
[loud thud]
Did you hear a little kid?
No, I heard footsteps walking.
[whispers] We should go up there,
-what do you think? -Yeah.
[whispers] How's he going?
They wanna hear that last one.
[Steve] Oh, yeah.
[Dave whispers] I hope it's not a child.
Hello?
Were you a prisoner here?
We'd just like to know...
if we should come talk to you.
[Dave] Steve and Tango, we're up on the second floor.
This is where they've seen many apparitions.
And this is where females and children were held.
[Steve] That woman supposedly, you know...
-They think her name is Mary. -[Dave] Mmm-hmm.
There's no reason for it. It's just legend.
But just in case there's some truth to it,
we might as well try, you know?
Yeah, of course, always.
Gotta hit every angle.
[Steve] Mary?
Who is up here?
And maybe if her name isn't Mary,
-that might aggravate her. -[Dave] Right.
Anything else you wanna say to us?
[Dave] Mmm.
We're gonna be leaving.
The sun's gonna be up soon.
What do they care if the sun's coming up soon?
[Dave speaking]
[loud thud]
What was that?
[Steve] Hello?
[Dave] Did it sound like it was below us?
[Steve] It did.
It was like a door opening and closing.
It sounded like something going [mimics fast beat].
-[Steve] Right. -Like a spring-loaded whatever.
[Steve] The front door's spring-loaded.
[Dave] But let's just take a look.
[Steve] All right, let's check it out.
Wasn't this door.
[door creaking]
-[Dave] It wasn't it, no. -[Steve] It wasn't that door.
[Dave] So, then what was it?
Any of these things?
-[cupboard door thudding] -[gasps]
[Steve] Ooh! Oh!
I mean, that's... that's it.
[cupboard door thudding]
-That's... yeah. -[Dave] That's it.
[Steve] That's what the sound was.
[Dave] Something opened this cabinet.
Hello?
[Dave] Are there any prisoners here with us?
[Steve] Can you talk to us?
What can we help you with?
-I think it has gone quiet. -[Dave] Yeah.
[Steve] Steve and Tango to TAPS van.
I think it'd probably be a good time
to wrap it for the night, what do you say?
[Jason] All right, 10-4.
[Dave] All right, so here's that moment I felt that tap on my back.
-Right, when we first got in. -Yeah.
And you're looking at the gate.
That's the moment.
[Jason] Before Satori, Cody and Chandler join us tonight,
Steve and Dave are going to start off by going through last night's evidence.
While Shari and I meet with the Kings County Sheriff
who is an expert in the history in Hanford
and its historical buildings.
Well, thanks for, uh, sitting down with us.
Yeah, absolutely. Pleasure to meet both of you.
-[Shari] Nice to meet you. -You as well.
We're looking into some of the history of The Bastille.
And, uh, I know the history goes back quite a ways.
When, uh, Hanford and Kings County came to fruition in 1893,
it saw a huge population growth.
But it also attracted that whole Wild West atmosphere...
between the bandits and the train robbers that were here.
They had shootouts that occurred in the downtown area.
-Yeah. -[David] And so The Bastille was opened up in 1897.
[Jason] So, were there any deaths that you know of on the property?
Mmm-hmm. Early on in the history of the jail,
there was a couple of suicides that are documented.
John Alves who had been arrested for murder of his wife and child,
attempted suicide by taking a barber's razor
and slicing his arm.
And he was unsuccessful in that attempt.
But we actually, in our historical artefacts,
have that barber's razor.
John Alves was later successful in suicide by hanging.
He was still alive when he was pulled down,
but later died at the hospital.
[Jason] I'm sure you've heard of the urban legend about Mary
who's been seen in the building.
Has there ever been any evidence of a Mary
-who hung herself? -So...
So, we haven't been able to find evidence
of a Mary hanging herself.
But we did have a Mary Fincher...
-[Jason] Fincher. -...who died in 1939.
The coroner record does indicate
-that it was of a heart attack. -[Jason] Oh, wow.
-[Shari] Oh. -And so it was not a suicide.
So, what other things did you bring?
The suicide article from 1906
where inmate Frank McMurty
committed suicide within the facility.
And a few days later, inmates reported
that they were awakened
by the ghost of Frank McMurty in that cell,
which is very interesting.
[Jason] Especially when there's two people
-claiming to have had... -[David] Right.
-...the same experience. -[Shari] Yeah.
[reading] "McMurty's ghost showed up
and was as natural as life."
-So as solid as us right here. -[David] Yeah.
-[Shari] Yeah. -[David] That's exactly right.
There was early reports of death within The Bastille,
-that's for sure. -[Jason] Yeah.
All right, Sheriff, I thank you so much
for taking the time out of your day...
-Yeah. Thank you. -...to sit down with us.
-Yes, thank you so much. -Pleasure to meet both of you. Thank you.
[Jason] We now have new insight
into some of the deaths and paranormal activity
that occurred while The Bastille was still a jail.
-[Steve] Hey, what's going on? -Hey, what's happening, guys?
-Hey. -[Shari] Hey, guys.
-How you guys doing? -[Dave] Welcome.
-Good to have you two here. -[Steve] Yeah.
-[Cody] We're excited. -[Satori] Thank you for having us.
[Jason] And tonight,
our friend and paranormal enthusiast Chandler Riggs,
who's best known for his role as Carl Grimes on The Walking Dead,
will be joining us for our investigation.
-[Chandler] Hey, guys, how's it going? -What's going on, man?
I've been a huge fan of Ghost Hunters
since I was, like, seven, eight years old.
So this is like a dream come true for inner-child me.
So great to see you guys.
This is my first time doing a full-fledged investigation,
and I'm so happy to, uh, to be a part of the team for a night.
I know you've... you've actually
messed around with investigating in the past, right?
A little bit, yeah, yeah.
Me and my friends, we just did some stuff,
caught some stuff here and there,
-but I'm really excited to see how it's, like, really done. -Oh, good.
-Yeah. [chuckles] -So, we just got done talking with Sheriff Robinson.
So, he did say that there were people that have passed away here.
There was one his name is John Alves, in 1937.
Convicted of murdering his wife and son.
-And he actually slashed his arms with a razor. -[Dave] Oh, no.
-And we actually have the razor right here. -What?
-[Dave] Real razor? -This is... Yeah.
[Jason] It was leant to us by the sheriff
to use tonight as a trigger object.
But here's the thing. There was a lady, Mary, who died here.
-[both] No way! -[Jason] Yep.
Mary Edna Fincher.
She ended up having a heart attack.
-But that's a Mary who did pass away here. -[Dave] Jeez.
-Having these names now is gonna help us so much. -[Dave] Yep.
-Nice job. This was great research. -Yeah.
-It's gonna be getting dark soon. -[Dave] Yeah.
-Let's get everything set and get investigating. -[Dave] All right.
-Sounds good. Great job. -All right.
[Jason] While Cody, Satori, Shari, and Tango
keep an eye on the monitors for any activity,
I'll start out tonight with Steve and Chandler.
Jay, Steve, and Chandler...
in The Bastille.
[Steve] Thank you.
-[Chandler] Walking in, it's just, like, heavy. -[Jason] Yep.
All right.
Is there anyone in here who'd like to talk with us?
EMF is remarkably just still.
Radiation is what this device reads.
And no fluctuations anywhere.
Frank McMurty, are you here with us?
[Chandler] So, I wonder if upstairs
is where they held more of these guys.
-[Steve] Up there is the women and juveniles. -[Chandler] Okay.
[thudding]
Dude.
What?
[Steve] Did you hear that, Jay?
Yeah, that sounded like walking.
It was like "Boom, boom, boom."
-[Steve] Yep. -That's why I'm facing up here
'cause it sounded like it was just happening up in this area.
-[thudding] -Oh, there it is again.
[Jason] There it is again.
[Steve whispers] This is crazy.
Up here, Steve.
[Steve] Holy crap.
-[Steve] I say we go up there. -Come on up.
[Chandler] Oh, man.
[Steve] Steve, Jay, and Chandler
going to the second floor.
This is where they kept the females and juveniles.
They've seen the apparition of a female on the staircase
and a jailor on the balcony.
Somebody was banging
while we were downstairs just a couple of minutes ago.
It seemed like you led us up here.
We'd just like to understand why you would still be here.
[Jason] Are there any women with us tonight?
[thudding]
Oh, that was a "boom boom".
[Steve] It sounded like a knocking?
-[thud] -Whoa.
-Yeah, yeah. -Dead below us.
I felt it come past me.
[thud]
Dude, what?
-[Jason] That was right behind you. -[Chandler] Yeah.
Hello?
[Steve] You're getting our attention,
so what you're doing is working.
If you wanna get out, you can come with us.
[Chandler] Well, you can go with him.
[all laughing]
-Holy [bleep]! -[laughing]
[Steve] You have to follow us right downstairs.
And that's actually one of the claims here,
is that staff members
feel like there is something following them around.
You've got that razor on you.
-I do. -We can go downstairs and try to just...
'Cause that's where John Alves would have been kept.
Yep.
Whoever is coming over towards us, keep doing it.
[Dave] They're hearing knocking.
[Shari] Footsteps.
[Steve] John Alves was the gentleman with the razor.
[Jason] Who murdered his wife and child.
-[Steve] He was in this jail. -[Jason] Yeah.
I'm just trying to think of the best spot
to use this trigger object.
[Jason] Definitely down here.
-So, maybe this area. -Yeah.
John Alves,
we heard you murdered your wife and child.
We have something here that you may not wanna think about.
Your razor blade.
[Chandler] How do you feel about the things that you did?
Do you feel guilty?
Regret?
Is that why you used this very razor on the table here?
[Steve] You may not wanna grab it.
You know,
what if that's painful for him to see
and he's staying as far away from it as he can?
That's true, yeah.
If he does reach for that and try to grab it.
-And that proximity sensor shows... -Yeah.
[Steve]...we'll capture it on our cameras.
[Chandler] Yeah.
[Jason] All right, let's head out.
[Steve] Chandler, nice job.
-[Chandler] Thank you. -[Jason speaking]
[ringing sound]
[Chandler] What was that?
[Jason] What the [bleep] was that?
-[Steve] What was that? -[Jason] What was that?
That was loud.
[Satori] Whoa.
[Cody whispers] What was that coming from?
Do you see anything?
[Dave] No.
-That thing's loud as hell. -[Satori] Yeah.
[Chandler] Did... did the razor move?
[Steve] It sounded like metal hitting metal.
[razor clangs]
-[both] No. -[Jason] Nope.
-That wasn't it. -[Jason] That's not it.
[Steve] Wow, that was loud.
Hello?
John Alves?
Are you here with us?
-[Jason] Hey, Steve. -[Steve] Yo.
[Jason] Come down here for a second.
[Steve] Coming.
[Jason] There's a big piece of metal in this room.
-[Steve] Yep. -[Jason] There's a...
imprint from where he was sitting on the bench.
But now it's on the floor.
There's a big spider.
[Jason] Hello?
[Jason speaking]
[giggling]
-[laughing] -What was that?
-[Jason gasps] -[Steve] What... what's wrong?
Seriously, you didn't just...
-I didn't hear anything. -You weren't...
"Oh-oh." You didn't do a "Ooh-ooh"?
-I just... -[Chandler] I marked it.
-[Jason] Okay. -[Steve] There you go.
[Jason on tape] Steve, I swear to God.
[giggling on tape]
[Jason gasping] What... what was that?
[Jason talking]
-[Steve] I know! -[Chandler] Yeah.
[gasps]
Maybe that means it was in there.
[dragging metal]
[Jason] All right, okay.
Now...
I want you to go to the door, Steve.
-Tell me if this... -[Steve] Yep. Yep.
Good idea.
[Jason] All right, Steve. I'm gonna try to do this now.
[Steve] Copy that, I'm at the door.
[loud clanging]
That was...
-That sounded like it. -That's it.
That's it.
Frank McMurty.
Are you here with us?
Something picked it up and dropped it.
Well, how else do you explain it?
[Jason] John Alves,
are you still here in the jail?
[whispering] Man...
[Jason] Let's get Satori and Cody
in here with Chandler, see what they find.
[Chandler] Yeah.
I cannot wait to get some more action.
[Jason] So, we good to go?
-I think we are. -All right.
All right.
-Thank you. -All right.
[Cody] Honestly, I just want to talk
to some of these people that are in there.
[Satori] Be prepared.
Hopefully we catch something.
[door creaks]
All right.
[Cody] The place definitely kinda has an energy
when you're walking in here, doesn't it?
-[Satori] Mmm-hmm. -[Cody] Spooky.
It's like they're in the rooms watching us walk by.
-It's just-- -Whoa.
[Chandler] See something?
[Satori] I could have sworn I just saw a silhouette
of somebody in that corner.
But then I went back and they're not there,
so I'm not sure if that was shadow play...
Should we walk by again and see if maybe it was you that I caught?
-Me, yeah. 'Cause I was... -You wanna... Okay.
So, walk again like we just were.
Do you see any shadows?
[Cody] No, I didn't see anything.
[Satori] It was either a light play, or it was somebody.
[Cody] I think I wanna maybe try upstairs,
where they've seen the apparition of a jailer.
[Chandler] Sure, yeah.
[Satori] You wanna try this method?
[Chandler] Break it down for me.
[Cody] When Satori and myself started dating,
we found that when we connected,
like holding hands,
it seems to elevate activity even more.
[Satori] So, we are able to communicate intelligently
with somebody that is no longer
in our physical form.
-Oh... -Ah.
[Satori] Joining hands together, friends?
-Okay. -[Satori] All right. Okay.
Can you move around a little bit
in this little circle we've made
to let us know you're here?
One for yes, two for no, okay?
Whatever noise you're making.
We're gonna spell out your name.
A, B, C, D, E, F, G,
H, I, J, K, L...
M, N, O, P...
-[Satori] O. -[soft knock]
-O! Okay. -O, okay.
Okay.
O, P, Q, R...
-[Satori] R? -[soft knock]
O-R.
[Chandler faintly] A, B, C, D, E, F...
Q, R, S, T, U, V.
[Satori] O-R-V?
[Chandler] A, B, C, D...
[Steve] That type of communication is, uh...
[whispering] So weird.
...outside of my wheelhouse.
F, G, H, I...
-[Satori] I? -[soft knock]
So, "Orvi"?
"Orvi."
Do you wanna give us your last name?
[soft knock]
Okay.
-A, B, C... -[soft knock]
C.
A, B, C, D, E, F, G,
-H, I, J, K, L... -[soft knock]
L.
"Clyde"?
-[Cody] Clyde. -[soft knock]
-Orvi Clyde. -Orvi Clyde.
[Cody] Were you a prisoner here?
-[Satori] No... -No.
Did you work here?
[soft knock]
-Yes, okay. -[Cody] Okay.
[Satori] Sheriff?
[soft knock]
[Satori] Oh, okay.
-Let's head into his office. - [Chandler] Yeah.
[Jason] Can you give me the sheriff's name? O-R-V...
[Shari] O-R-V-I Clyde.
C-L-Y-D-E.
[Jason] C-L-Y-D-E.
Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa.
In the 1940 census,
he was 37 years old
and lived in Hanford, California.
[Dave exclaims]
[Jason] So... [groans]. Uh, let's see.
Oh.
-[Dave] There it is. -[both] Kings County Sheriff.
[Dave] That's our guy.
That name did not come up in our research.
Wow.
[Satori] We're gonna keep going.
[Cody] A, B, C, D, E, F, G,
H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P...
-[soft knock] -P?
-A, B, C, D, E... -[soft knock]
E?
A, B, C, D, E, F, G,
-H, I, J, K, L, M, N... -[soft knock]
-"Pen"? -[soft knock]
-Your pen? -Like a writing pen?
[soft knock]
[Satori] Is it in this room?
[soft knock]
I'm gonna take a gander around the room
and you just knock when I'm here.
[soft knock]
-[Satori] Oh. -Certainly got something.
[Chandler] Right here?
[Satori] Right there.
In the floor?
Here? Yes?
[soft knock]
[Cody] That is nuts, man.
[Cody speaking]
Uh, Tori to Dad.
[Jason over radio] Go ahead.
[Satori] I was just wondering
if you could come take a look upstairs?
Um, all right. I'll be there.
[Satori] Thank you.
[Satori] Hey, Dad. We're in here.
[Jason] Yo.
[Satori] So, we have somebody that came through
and he says his name is Orvi Clyde.
[Jason] Yeah, we checked him out.
He was a sheriff.
-[Satori] Are you serious? -[Jason] Yeah.
-Okay. -Amazing.
[Satori] And he said,
"I need help finding my pen."
And then he pointed us right over here.
I'm not sure if maybe you could take a look.
[Jason] Here. Just take that, ready?
[Dave] Yep.
[Satori] Two, three...
[Jason straining]
Oh, there is a pen.
[Satori] There's a pen in there?
-[Cody] Really? -[Satori] Is there really a pen in there?
-[thuds] -[all exclaim]
That'll do it.
This is crazy!
[excited laughter]
-[Jason] All right. -[Dave] Yeah!
[Satori] It's an old pen.
[Jason] Oh, no, it's old.
-[all exclaiming] -[Satori] Oh, it's like a quill pen.
[Jason] This is awesome.
Holy crap.
[Dave] You can't explain that.
That's crazy!
Wow.
It's old.
[Satori] It's a piece of History.
Man, we have a lot of things happening.
Probably wrap it up for the night.
-[Satori] Okay. -[Cody] Yeah.
[Chandler] I had a blast.
I can't thank you guys enough for having me.
I mean, it turned out to be a great investigation
having you on, really.
-Yeah. -So...
And you're always welcome back, you know that.
Thank you.
We caught a ton of stuff
during the investigation tonight.
From being able to talk to those people in there
and find the pen in the floor.
It was really cool seeing them go through their whole process.
It's just so crazy to me.
It's legit, it's real.
I say, now we get wrapped up
and get back to start analyzing.
-[Chandler] All right. -Yeah.
-Thanks, dude. -Dude!
-Thank you so much, man. -You're welcome.
That was so much fun.
We were hearing voices, we were hearing footsteps.
Tango thought that he was touched by something.
And I think we're gonna have a lot of answers for Randy.
It may not be all of the answers that he wants to hear,
because some things are leading us to believe
that The Bastille is most certainly haunted.
[car door slams dramatically]
[Jason] This was a really interesting case, man.
We were able to document some wild stuff.
I love the history we were able to uncover.
And the fact that each team had these amazing experiences.
This turned out to be a phenomenal case.
-[Jason] Absolutely. -I mean...
We'll just have to see what Randy thinks of everything.
Yeah, fingers crossed.
Well, thanks for coming and sitting back down with us, Randy.
I'm really excited to find out what you found.
There was a Mary who died here.
Really?
[Jason] But she died of a heart attack.
You know, people claim to see...
-her in the tower area. -Right.
But I think we were able to disprove that.
Because when you're outside at night,
the whole lamp system that's up there
looks like somebody's standing there.
[Steve] Is that what people are seeing?
-[Jason] Huh. -That's what I'm thinking.
So, it's possible it could be her
walking around that people are seeing.
I just wouldn't say it was her in the window.
Tango and I, we were investigating
and we did hear what sounds like
a child's voice.
[Jason] I'll play this for you
and see if you can pinpoint the exact era.
There again, twice.
Sounds like a child.
The whimpering or something of a child.
[Steve] Maybe it was a child who was imprisoned here.
It makes sense.
During the investigation, me, Steve and Chandler,
we were all in here investigating.
And as we were leaving,
there's all of a sudden, this extremely loud sound.
Like, some piece of metal just fell down.
[loud clang]
Oh!
-That was back here. -[Jason] So, here you see...
-And you guys were leaving out the front door. -[Jason] Yeah.
[loud clang]
[Steve] What was that?
-[Jason] So, while we were trying to... -Wow.
...figure out what that sound came from,
we realized that there's a rather large black widow spider in there.
[chuckles nervously]
Steve makes a sound.
Well...
strangely, right after he makes this sound...
Just take a listen.
[Jason on tape] Hello?
Steve, I swear...
[giggling]
[Jason] Right there.
[Jason] Hello?
Steve, I swear...
[giggling]
What was that?
That sounded like a child mimicking what you just did.
But you actually heard it happen.
Oh, I heard it when it happened, yeah.
So, that's interesting enough, but...
this last voice that happened is really wild.
So, Shari and I were investigating.
And as we were walking out,
a voice appeared on the recorder
right after the door closed.
-[door creaking] -Hear the door closing.
Whoa.
"I think they're gone."
One hundred percent.
-That's exactly... yeah. -What the heck.
[Jason] It wasn't until later on,
when we were going through the evidence,
that we actually found that.
That's crazy.
So, we also had my daughter Satori
and Cody, from the TAPS home team,
in to investigate.
And they have this technique
where they'll ask for communication
through, like, letters of the alphabet,
asking for knocks on certain letters.
And they'll be able to spell out things.
A, B, C... C.
[Randy] Wow. Okay.
They got this name. Have you ever heard of Orvi Clyde?
I've heard of that name.
I guess he worked here in 1942 through the '60s.
He was a sheriff out here.
But this Orvi
asked my daughter Satori and Cody for help
to find his pen.
And then as I pried out some of the molding,
there was an old pen.
Oh, there is a pen.
-Wow. -[Chandler] Yeah!
This is crazy!
[Chandler] I'll be darned.
[Randy] That's crazy. That's unbelievable.
You guys found more than I was even expecting.
It's creepy.
But it's not, like, injuring anybody or anything, so...
Nothing here is going to hurt any of your staff.
These were once people.
It's very much a human experience
and not anything that they need to be afraid of.
Well, knowing that could actually put some people at ease.
[Jason] But the evidence does point towards the jailor
or possibly an imprisoned child still being here.
Right.
People end up being too fearful,
they don't wanna come in here.
And just give us a call.
We're always here to help, bottom line.
So glad that you did this investigation.
-Thank you so much. -Thank you.
[Jason] It's been fantastic.
[Randy] The investigation shows that there's something
going on here.
Just totally unexplainable.
Finding the pen upstairs,
the voice of the child,
I wasn't expecting to hear something like that, at all.
I think the City of Hanford
will be excited to hear that all of these claims have validity.
But I don't see it being a negative.
And this may help settle some fears.
[Jason] That went awesome.
I'm just hoping that it helps out people
who work at The Bastille.
And also the locals,
who had all these experiences throughout the years.
And having Chandler Riggs out from The Walking Dead...
He was actually a great investigator.
-Oh, he was. -Yeah, and...
I had a great time investigating with him.
Yeah. Satori and Cody, of course, coming in
became very fruitful.
I mean, we were able to find that pen
in the wall.
[Steve] Yeah, this was a great case.
One for the books, I would say.
-[Jason] Absolutely, man. -Yeah.
Onto the next, brother.
