1
00:00:05,872 --> 00:00:07,106
I love this house.
2
00:00:08,174 --> 00:00:09,608
I love you.
3
00:00:09,610 --> 00:00:12,277
Get the door though,
all right? Let's get in here.
4
00:00:12,279 --> 00:00:14,446
[narrator] Childhood
sweethearts reconnect.
5
00:00:14,948 --> 00:00:16,281
[Joe] It was just...
6
00:00:16,283 --> 00:00:18,884
you know, it was
perfect timing, actually.
7
00:00:18,886 --> 00:00:20,986
[narrator] But their
happily ever after...
8
00:00:21,021 --> 00:00:22,221
is threatened.
9
00:00:22,989 --> 00:00:24,089
[Danika] Joe...
10
00:00:26,092 --> 00:00:27,526
[screams] Joe!
11
00:00:27,528 --> 00:00:28,927
[banging on wall]
12
00:00:28,929 --> 00:00:31,096
[Danika] It was just like,
random things...
13
00:00:31,698 --> 00:00:33,032
until it wasn't.
14
00:00:33,933 --> 00:00:34,933
- [eerie growling]
- Dan!
15
00:00:34,935 --> 00:00:36,835
We were both pretty terrified.
16
00:00:36,837 --> 00:00:39,671
[narrator] When a darkness plots
17
00:00:39,673 --> 00:00:41,073
to tear them asunder.
18
00:00:41,075 --> 00:00:42,975
[Danika] Oh, my God, Joe!
19
00:00:43,710 --> 00:00:45,177
[narrator] In this world,
20
00:00:45,412 --> 00:00:46,845
there is real evil.
21
00:00:46,847 --> 00:00:50,682
[child] Someone's in my room.
22
00:00:50,684 --> 00:00:53,285
[narrator] It lurks
in the darkest shadows.
23
00:00:56,056 --> 00:00:58,190
Between what we see,
24
00:00:58,725 --> 00:01:00,993
and the things we fear,
25
00:01:01,861 --> 00:01:03,662
there are doors.
26
00:01:03,664 --> 00:01:05,064
When they are opened...
27
00:01:06,833 --> 00:01:11,036
nightmares become reality.
28
00:01:18,678 --> 00:01:19,745
[narrator] Providence,
Rhode Island,
29
00:01:19,747 --> 00:01:22,648
one of America's oldest cities.
30
00:01:22,650 --> 00:01:25,984
Founded as a haven
for religious pilgrims,
31
00:01:25,986 --> 00:01:28,420
its name means
providing protection
32
00:01:28,422 --> 00:01:30,389
or spiritual care.
33
00:01:35,495 --> 00:01:39,164
And that's exactly what former
police officer, Joe Menano
34
00:01:39,166 --> 00:01:42,101
hopes it will be
for his new family.
35
00:01:42,368 --> 00:01:44,069
Dream house, yeah.
36
00:01:44,071 --> 00:01:46,905
[Joe] I just really needed
somebody in my life I can trust and...
37
00:01:46,907 --> 00:01:48,006
care about and...
38
00:01:48,008 --> 00:01:50,142
who just brought some
levity into my life.
39
00:01:50,144 --> 00:01:52,244
I'd gone through
so much for so long,
40
00:01:52,246 --> 00:01:55,481
it was just, you know, it was
perfect timing actually.
41
00:01:55,483 --> 00:01:59,084
[narrator] After a string of bad
luck and near-fatal work injuries,
42
00:01:59,086 --> 00:02:03,422
Joe has reconnected with his
childhood sweetheart, Danika.
43
00:02:03,424 --> 00:02:04,957
They've recently married
44
00:02:04,959 --> 00:02:06,959
and are building
a new life together.
45
00:02:06,961 --> 00:02:07,826
[Danika] Hey, Joey.
46
00:02:07,828 --> 00:02:09,962
You got that box?
That's the heavy one.
47
00:02:09,964 --> 00:02:12,998
Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's good,
it's good. I got it. [chuckles]
48
00:02:13,233 --> 00:02:14,967
I love this house.
49
00:02:15,135 --> 00:02:16,869
Okay.
50
00:02:16,871 --> 00:02:19,605
-All right. I love you. Get the door though.
-[both chuckle]
51
00:02:19,607 --> 00:02:21,006
In a hurry, over here.
52
00:02:21,008 --> 00:02:24,409
[Joe] By the time Danika
and I met back later in life,
53
00:02:24,411 --> 00:02:27,446
we had both gone
through divorces.
54
00:02:27,448 --> 00:02:29,748
And when we found
each other, it was...
55
00:02:29,750 --> 00:02:32,751
it was kind of funny, we picked
right back up where we left off.
56
00:02:32,753 --> 00:02:35,954
[narrator] The couple settle
into their new home.
57
00:02:35,956 --> 00:02:38,757
Also unpacking baggage
of a different kind.
58
00:02:38,759 --> 00:02:40,392
Uh, yeah, I'm...
59
00:02:40,394 --> 00:02:41,793
trying to make the
place look perfect
60
00:02:41,795 --> 00:02:44,763
and I'm not sure this
is gonna have a place.
61
00:02:44,765 --> 00:02:46,298
I went three for four
on that game.
62
00:02:48,768 --> 00:02:50,002
We'll figure it out.
63
00:02:56,809 --> 00:02:59,211
Look Joe, it's your Pop!
64
00:03:00,213 --> 00:03:02,014
He's so handsome.
65
00:03:04,784 --> 00:03:06,385
I love a man in uniform.
66
00:03:08,388 --> 00:03:09,922
My husband became
a police officer
67
00:03:09,924 --> 00:03:12,191
because his father was
a police officer and...
68
00:03:12,193 --> 00:03:13,025
it's all he knew.
69
00:03:13,027 --> 00:03:14,960
And I think that
it was something that
70
00:03:14,962 --> 00:03:17,296
made his father
pretty proud of him.
71
00:03:19,499 --> 00:03:21,200
You ever miss the job, babe?
72
00:03:22,235 --> 00:03:24,937
I had some very serious
injuries. I was almost killed.
73
00:03:24,939 --> 00:03:27,372
I actually looked down the barrel
of the gun and watched it go off.
74
00:03:28,875 --> 00:03:29,575
Sometimes you gotta...
75
00:03:29,577 --> 00:03:31,977
take the hint and move on, no?
76
00:03:37,684 --> 00:03:41,853
[narrator] Not long after
Joe and Danika move in,
77
00:03:41,855 --> 00:03:45,958
they begin to feel they're not
the only ones living there.
78
00:03:50,563 --> 00:03:51,997
Hon!
79
00:03:51,999 --> 00:03:55,400
I understand about a lot of
complicated things, but this?
80
00:03:55,402 --> 00:03:57,336
I got it, I got it, I got it.
81
00:03:59,572 --> 00:04:03,008
You press this button
on that remote, right?
82
00:04:03,910 --> 00:04:07,446
Then you press the up
arrow on this one.
83
00:04:07,914 --> 00:04:11,116
Then you press the up
arrow on this one.
84
00:04:11,118 --> 00:04:13,919
Then the center button
after you scroll down,
85
00:04:13,953 --> 00:04:15,754
and over,
86
00:04:15,756 --> 00:04:18,257
press select.
It auto-signs you in.
87
00:04:18,958 --> 00:04:20,025
It's nothing to it.
88
00:04:20,693 --> 00:04:21,827
Joe.
89
00:04:21,829 --> 00:04:22,728
[Joe] Danika and I...
90
00:04:22,730 --> 00:04:23,762
when we would have...
91
00:04:23,764 --> 00:04:25,897
I don't even want
to call them arguments.
92
00:04:25,899 --> 00:04:27,432
Some of them were but
some of them were like,
93
00:04:27,434 --> 00:04:29,835
two people who are best friends,
who have known each other a long time,
94
00:04:29,837 --> 00:04:32,537
who can kind of yell
at each other and not mean it.
95
00:04:32,539 --> 00:04:34,439
What do you want from me?
Look, you want to watch your shows,
96
00:04:34,441 --> 00:04:36,908
I got you the manner
by which to watch your shows.
97
00:04:36,910 --> 00:04:38,977
You used to have 18 remotes,
I got it down to three.
98
00:04:38,979 --> 00:04:39,878
Are you kidding me right now?
99
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:41,346
[loud banging]
100
00:04:43,416 --> 00:04:44,516
[Joe] Out of the blue,
101
00:04:44,518 --> 00:04:46,718
on the wall of the
room we were in.
102
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:48,687
Enough where it kind of,
shook the room.
103
00:04:48,689 --> 00:04:51,189
Three very loud bangs, like...
104
00:04:51,191 --> 00:04:55,227
like a grown man was taking
his fist and punching the wall.
105
00:04:56,129 --> 00:04:57,296
What was that?
106
00:05:02,835 --> 00:05:03,935
[Joe] I don't know, baby.
107
00:05:06,873 --> 00:05:07,973
I'm gonna go find out.
You stay here.
108
00:05:07,975 --> 00:05:09,241
Okay.
109
00:05:19,686 --> 00:05:20,786
[Joe] I tried to figure out
110
00:05:20,788 --> 00:05:23,155
what exactly was happening.
111
00:05:23,157 --> 00:05:26,091
And I actually walked
around a little bit.
112
00:05:41,074 --> 00:05:42,674
[banging on wall]
113
00:05:42,676 --> 00:05:44,876
And right then,
114
00:05:44,878 --> 00:05:47,145
three bangs happened
again on the wall,
115
00:05:47,147 --> 00:05:49,114
right in front of my face.
116
00:05:51,784 --> 00:05:52,751
Sake.
117
00:05:52,753 --> 00:05:54,453
[Joe] I actually felt
118
00:05:54,455 --> 00:05:56,755
the wind of what...
119
00:05:56,757 --> 00:05:58,657
if a human being was
standing in front of you,
120
00:05:58,659 --> 00:06:00,192
hitting the wall,
121
00:06:00,194 --> 00:06:02,494
you'd sense their arm moving,
and feel that wind.
122
00:06:02,496 --> 00:06:03,862
That's what I felt.
123
00:06:03,864 --> 00:06:06,365
And it really scared
me half to death.
124
00:06:20,913 --> 00:06:22,381
- Joe.
- [Joe screams]
125
00:06:23,015 --> 00:06:24,216
Baby!
126
00:06:24,951 --> 00:06:26,118
What was it, Joe?
127
00:06:26,686 --> 00:06:27,686
I don't know, baby but...
128
00:06:27,688 --> 00:06:29,821
you scared the crap out of me.
129
00:06:29,823 --> 00:06:31,790
I was scared [bleep] less.
I didn't know what to do.
130
00:06:31,792 --> 00:06:33,992
Geez.
131
00:06:35,762 --> 00:06:38,296
Oh, baby, baby. Behind me.
Behind me. Behind me.
132
00:06:51,411 --> 00:06:52,411
[Joe] I don't know.
133
00:06:52,678 --> 00:06:53,612
I don't know.
134
00:06:54,747 --> 00:06:57,849
Joe, do you think
it's your dad trying to...
135
00:06:57,851 --> 00:07:00,051
get in touch with you,
trying to get your attention?
136
00:07:00,653 --> 00:07:01,420
Babe,
137
00:07:01,854 --> 00:07:03,154
Dad's been dead for years.
138
00:07:03,389 --> 00:07:04,689
- What do you mean, get my attention? That's crazy.
- I don't know
139
00:07:04,691 --> 00:07:07,726
but I don't understand,
there's any other explanation.
140
00:07:07,728 --> 00:07:10,729
[Joe] And that was when we
kind of realized that something...
141
00:07:10,731 --> 00:07:11,930
that was happening
there that we...
142
00:07:11,932 --> 00:07:13,398
we were out of control of.
143
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:15,167
We were both pretty terrified.
144
00:07:16,803 --> 00:07:21,139
[narrator] With no explanation
for what's going on in their home,
145
00:07:21,141 --> 00:07:24,843
Joe Menano spends
a restless night.
146
00:07:24,845 --> 00:07:26,244
[wood creaking]
147
00:07:29,415 --> 00:07:30,949
[footsteps]
148
00:07:30,951 --> 00:07:33,051
- Babe...
- [footsteps approaching]
149
00:07:33,118 --> 00:07:34,319
Babe!
150
00:07:38,758 --> 00:07:39,825
I heard two or three...
151
00:07:39,827 --> 00:07:41,159
distinct footsteps
152
00:07:41,161 --> 00:07:43,895
of what sounded like
a grown man walk up
153
00:07:43,897 --> 00:07:45,397
to the side of my bed.
154
00:07:45,399 --> 00:07:47,232
And I can feel...
155
00:07:48,134 --> 00:07:50,368
something or someone
standing there.
156
00:07:52,171 --> 00:07:53,338
Babe.
157
00:07:59,212 --> 00:08:00,312
Dan.
158
00:08:02,748 --> 00:08:04,015
Dan, wake up.
159
00:08:05,885 --> 00:08:08,053
[in demonic voice]
You're not gonna wake up.
160
00:08:10,089 --> 00:08:10,989
Dan!
161
00:08:10,991 --> 00:08:11,857
Wake up!
162
00:08:11,859 --> 00:08:14,926
What I felt was sheer terror.
163
00:08:14,928 --> 00:08:17,462
- Wake up!
- What? What... what--
164
00:08:17,464 --> 00:08:18,930
The hell is wrong with you?
165
00:08:18,932 --> 00:08:21,299
There was somebody
watching me, then you were...
166
00:08:21,601 --> 00:08:23,935
- talking like a zombie.
- What?
167
00:08:23,937 --> 00:08:26,137
Yeah, like you were possessed
or whatever. There was a...
168
00:08:26,973 --> 00:08:27,973
felt somebody...
169
00:08:27,975 --> 00:08:29,407
just staring at me.
170
00:08:29,409 --> 00:08:30,542
The foot of the bed, there.
171
00:08:30,544 --> 00:08:32,410
What are you talking about, Joe?
172
00:08:32,412 --> 00:08:34,379
[Danika] Really, I thought
that he was... he was nuts.
173
00:08:34,381 --> 00:08:36,815
I'm talking and I don't
know I'm talking,
174
00:08:36,817 --> 00:08:40,018
and he's sensing something at
the same time that I'm talking?
175
00:08:40,419 --> 00:08:42,954
It's... it's just
not believable.
176
00:08:43,856 --> 00:08:46,124
- Your voice, it was like a deep growl.
- Joe...
177
00:08:48,027 --> 00:08:48,894
You really don't remember?
178
00:08:48,896 --> 00:08:50,195
No, Joe.
179
00:08:51,130 --> 00:08:53,098
Maybe it was just a nightmare.
180
00:08:54,867 --> 00:08:56,434
But I'm up now.
181
00:08:57,103 --> 00:08:59,037
Gonna go get a glass of water.
182
00:08:59,272 --> 00:09:01,072
You go to sleep, Joe.
183
00:09:02,108 --> 00:09:03,141
Yeah.
184
00:09:06,279 --> 00:09:07,345
Yeah.
185
00:09:10,750 --> 00:09:12,951
[Joe] You know, you don't
want to go to sleep.
186
00:09:12,953 --> 00:09:13,818
You don't want to be
alone in the house.
187
00:09:13,820 --> 00:09:15,020
You get up in the middle
of the night,
188
00:09:15,022 --> 00:09:17,055
you get that feeling like
something's watching you
189
00:09:17,057 --> 00:09:19,257
and that's kind of when...
190
00:09:19,859 --> 00:09:22,060
it really got bad.
191
00:09:22,261 --> 00:09:24,095
It really got bad after that.
192
00:09:27,066 --> 00:09:28,133
Crazy nut.
193
00:09:28,135 --> 00:09:29,901
Sure, Dan.
194
00:09:29,903 --> 00:09:31,202
Talking in your sleep.
195
00:09:31,938 --> 00:09:33,204
I'm a zombie.
196
00:09:38,110 --> 00:09:40,111
[eerie breathing]
197
00:10:06,872 --> 00:10:07,906
[screeching]
198
00:10:07,908 --> 00:10:09,341
[screams]
199
00:10:22,088 --> 00:10:23,221
[shrieking]
200
00:10:24,991 --> 00:10:26,291
What?
201
00:10:26,293 --> 00:10:27,959
What is it? What, baby?
202
00:10:27,961 --> 00:10:29,060
Baby, what, what, what--
203
00:10:29,062 --> 00:10:30,862
Did something bite me?
204
00:10:30,864 --> 00:10:31,997
- What?
- Right here.
205
00:10:31,999 --> 00:10:33,398
Where, where? Here we go.
206
00:10:33,833 --> 00:10:35,233
- Okay.
- Oh, Dan.
207
00:10:36,168 --> 00:10:39,270
- Oh, Dan, baby, you got scratches.
- What?
208
00:10:40,239 --> 00:10:42,107
Three in a row.
209
00:10:42,109 --> 00:10:46,778
[narrator] A series of disconcerting
and unexplainable experiences
210
00:10:46,780 --> 00:10:49,147
has been happening to
Joe and Danika Menano
211
00:10:49,149 --> 00:10:51,883
since they moved
into their new home.
212
00:10:51,885 --> 00:10:53,118
It looks deep. Does...
213
00:10:53,252 --> 00:10:54,419
does this hurt?
214
00:10:55,388 --> 00:10:56,788
Yes.
215
00:10:56,790 --> 00:10:57,956
Tonight,
216
00:10:57,958 --> 00:10:59,124
it turned physical.
217
00:10:59,126 --> 00:11:00,392
Baby, baby.
218
00:11:00,926 --> 00:11:02,994
This isn't my dad, okay?
219
00:11:02,996 --> 00:11:04,229
He would never hurt you.
220
00:11:05,931 --> 00:11:07,265
This is something different.
221
00:11:08,234 --> 00:11:11,269
Something bad, baby.
222
00:11:11,271 --> 00:11:13,571
[Danika] He would have tried
anything to get rid of this negativity,
223
00:11:13,573 --> 00:11:15,173
because, as a man,
224
00:11:15,175 --> 00:11:16,975
this is your family.
I'm his wife.
225
00:11:16,977 --> 00:11:19,544
Somebody's trying
to hurt his wife.
226
00:11:19,546 --> 00:11:21,446
So, at this point,
he had had enough.
227
00:11:22,548 --> 00:11:24,749
[narrator] While Danika
is away on a work trip,
228
00:11:24,751 --> 00:11:28,687
Joe begins watching
ghost hunting tv shows
229
00:11:28,689 --> 00:11:32,057
and is curious about
electronic voice phenomenon.
230
00:11:32,059 --> 00:11:34,192
And how it might
be able to tell him
231
00:11:34,194 --> 00:11:36,394
what's going on in the house.
232
00:11:41,033 --> 00:11:42,934
Select, arrow up,
233
00:11:42,968 --> 00:11:44,302
volume down.
234
00:11:44,737 --> 00:11:47,105
Doesn't take a rocket scientist.
235
00:11:49,942 --> 00:11:52,877
[narrator] He buys
a digital tape recorder
236
00:11:52,879 --> 00:11:55,146
and begins to ask questions.
237
00:11:55,148 --> 00:11:56,347
Who are you?
238
00:11:59,418 --> 00:12:00,351
What's your name?
239
00:12:02,855 --> 00:12:03,955
You know what,
240
00:12:03,989 --> 00:12:05,290
what do you want?
241
00:12:05,758 --> 00:12:07,292
Why are you bothering me?
242
00:12:09,795 --> 00:12:11,963
[Joe] It wasn't until
I kind of found
243
00:12:11,965 --> 00:12:14,699
paranormal investigations on tv
244
00:12:14,701 --> 00:12:16,401
and really started
getting into it,
245
00:12:16,403 --> 00:12:18,069
that all of this stuff...
246
00:12:18,071 --> 00:12:20,171
really started going crazy.
247
00:12:20,973 --> 00:12:21,773
[recorder clicks]
248
00:12:21,775 --> 00:12:22,974
[Joe, on recorder]
Who are you?
249
00:12:23,409 --> 00:12:25,076
[faint growling]
250
00:12:25,811 --> 00:12:26,878
What's your name?
251
00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:27,946
[recorder clicks]
252
00:12:27,948 --> 00:12:29,180
Who are you?
253
00:12:29,815 --> 00:12:30,415
[faint growling]
254
00:12:32,051 --> 00:12:33,284
Who are you?
255
00:12:36,689 --> 00:12:38,056
What do you want?
256
00:12:38,691 --> 00:12:39,991
Why are you bothering me?
257
00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:42,160
[dramatic music playing]
258
00:12:46,766 --> 00:12:48,333
[faint whispering on recorder]
259
00:12:49,401 --> 00:12:51,770
[narrator] Joe begins
to obsessively record.
260
00:12:51,772 --> 00:12:56,040
Listening for any electronic
voice phenomenon.
261
00:12:56,776 --> 00:12:59,310
[Joe] As I started listening,
and doing more and more,
262
00:13:00,012 --> 00:13:02,046
I realized as
I would listen back,
263
00:13:02,048 --> 00:13:03,815
I would hear whispering.
264
00:13:03,817 --> 00:13:06,284
[faint whispering]
265
00:13:09,188 --> 00:13:11,856
[Danika] It was just like
random... random things,
266
00:13:11,924 --> 00:13:13,725
until it wasn't.
267
00:13:13,727 --> 00:13:14,726
[Danika] Hey, Joe,
they were out of, um,
268
00:13:14,728 --> 00:13:17,962
Moo Shu Pork, so I got you
some Mongolian beef.
269
00:13:19,799 --> 00:13:22,734
Joe, can you take the
headphones off and talk to the living?
270
00:13:22,736 --> 00:13:23,968
[Joe] Shh.
271
00:13:25,871 --> 00:13:27,038
[fast whispering]
272
00:13:31,043 --> 00:13:33,077
I swear it's...
273
00:13:34,013 --> 00:13:35,380
saying I'm worthless.
274
00:13:36,816 --> 00:13:38,316
Oh, Joey.
275
00:13:38,884 --> 00:13:40,785
You're starting to scare me.
276
00:13:40,787 --> 00:13:43,188
Either you're hearing
something that...
277
00:13:43,190 --> 00:13:46,224
is there or you're hearing
something that isn't there.
278
00:13:47,560 --> 00:13:48,993
Joe!
279
00:13:56,669 --> 00:13:59,037
[Joe] I couldn't tell
what it said at first,
280
00:13:59,039 --> 00:14:00,104
but I could hear it.
I knew it was there.
281
00:14:00,106 --> 00:14:01,873
It was in the white noise
of the recorder,
282
00:14:01,875 --> 00:14:03,908
kind of, that static.
283
00:14:03,910 --> 00:14:06,311
I would hear what sounded
like, talking, to me.
284
00:14:12,818 --> 00:14:14,118
Very fast,
285
00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:16,321
very quiet whispering.
286
00:14:17,623 --> 00:14:19,090
[faint whispering]
287
00:14:19,825 --> 00:14:20,959
I slowed it down a little bit
288
00:14:20,961 --> 00:14:22,594
and it was all just...
289
00:14:22,596 --> 00:14:24,195
swearing at me, vulgar.
290
00:14:24,197 --> 00:14:26,030
Telling me it was
going to kill me.
291
00:14:26,032 --> 00:14:27,966
It wants my soul.
292
00:14:27,968 --> 00:14:28,900
It's gonna kill my family.
293
00:14:28,902 --> 00:14:30,935
It wants Danika and I apart.
294
00:14:30,937 --> 00:14:32,337
It has a right to be there.
295
00:14:32,339 --> 00:14:33,804
[ghoulish voices]
296
00:14:43,415 --> 00:14:47,919
[narrator] Joe keeps the darker
contents of the EVPs from Danika.
297
00:14:47,921 --> 00:14:52,090
Eventually, he begins
hearing them in real time.
298
00:14:52,925 --> 00:14:55,026
You're a fun date.
299
00:14:56,095 --> 00:14:59,063
Yeah. Okay, baby,
I'll be done in a minute.
300
00:15:00,299 --> 00:15:01,299
Yeah.
301
00:15:01,366 --> 00:15:02,367
Sure.
302
00:15:08,908 --> 00:15:11,075
[Danika] So, he started
running a recorder,
303
00:15:11,844 --> 00:15:14,679
when we would watch tv
at night, I'd fall asleep.
304
00:15:14,681 --> 00:15:16,014
He'd have the recorder on
305
00:15:16,016 --> 00:15:17,982
and he would just listen to it,
306
00:15:18,083 --> 00:15:19,250
and listen to it.
307
00:15:19,885 --> 00:15:21,352
[woman on tv]
308
00:15:23,756 --> 00:15:25,089
[faint whispering]
309
00:15:34,967 --> 00:15:36,935
[eerie sound]
310
00:15:38,203 --> 00:15:40,038
[whooshes]
311
00:15:43,943 --> 00:15:46,077
[ghoulish voices]
312
00:15:46,979 --> 00:15:48,746
[whispering]
313
00:15:48,748 --> 00:15:50,915
[ghoulish voice]
Kill yourself, Joe.
314
00:15:50,917 --> 00:15:52,884
[Joe] All of a sudden,
now I'm hearing
315
00:15:52,886 --> 00:15:54,719
this thing, this energy,
316
00:15:54,721 --> 00:15:57,088
this... this spirit.
I don't know.
317
00:15:57,090 --> 00:15:59,190
You know, it's all a big,
kind of mystery to me.
318
00:15:59,192 --> 00:16:02,961
[ghoulish voices]
319
00:16:04,763 --> 00:16:08,833
[voices continue]
320
00:16:08,835 --> 00:16:11,035
I'm coming to kill you.
321
00:16:11,037 --> 00:16:12,170
Dan, did you hear that?
322
00:16:13,005 --> 00:16:13,972
No!
323
00:16:14,039 --> 00:16:15,873
Baby!
324
00:16:15,875 --> 00:16:18,009
- No.
- Tell me that you heard that.
325
00:16:18,677 --> 00:16:19,877
No.
326
00:16:19,879 --> 00:16:21,846
I'm sorry, baby, I didn't.
327
00:16:21,848 --> 00:16:23,381
I didn't hear anything.
328
00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:45,703
[narrator] Joe is certain there is
a message for him in the static.
329
00:16:45,705 --> 00:16:49,907
Something that could solve the
strange occurrences in their home.
330
00:16:49,942 --> 00:16:51,642
Every waking hour,
331
00:16:51,644 --> 00:16:54,112
Joe continues his quest.
332
00:17:07,426 --> 00:17:10,395
[Joe] I sat there
every night while she slept,
333
00:17:10,896 --> 00:17:12,397
with headphones on,
334
00:17:12,399 --> 00:17:13,731
trying to figure out
335
00:17:13,733 --> 00:17:16,067
what this thing was saying.
336
00:17:17,503 --> 00:17:20,104
Because I thought,
maybe there's a message here.
337
00:17:20,106 --> 00:17:22,340
Maybe if I can figure out
what it wants...
338
00:17:22,841 --> 00:17:24,075
I can...
339
00:17:24,077 --> 00:17:25,109
give it what it wants,
340
00:17:25,111 --> 00:17:28,046
help it get somewhere
and get this out of my life.
341
00:17:29,048 --> 00:17:31,249
Effing drive yourself
nuts, Menano.
342
00:17:45,998 --> 00:17:47,231
[knocking at window]
343
00:17:47,433 --> 00:17:48,433
[knock]
344
00:17:54,073 --> 00:17:55,139
What?
345
00:17:56,842 --> 00:17:58,009
Dan!
346
00:18:01,814 --> 00:18:04,382
[narrator] Retired
police officer, Joe Menano
347
00:18:04,384 --> 00:18:07,085
has become obsessed with
documenting the voices
348
00:18:07,087 --> 00:18:09,120
he hears in his home.
349
00:18:09,922 --> 00:18:10,621
Tonight,
350
00:18:10,623 --> 00:18:12,857
the unexplained incidents
351
00:18:12,859 --> 00:18:16,060
take an even darker,
more menacing turn.
352
00:18:20,132 --> 00:18:22,300
[knocking on window]
353
00:18:25,070 --> 00:18:26,170
What?
354
00:18:27,973 --> 00:18:29,407
- Dan!
- What?
355
00:18:29,409 --> 00:18:31,008
- Dan! The window!
- What?
356
00:18:31,010 --> 00:18:32,944
What did you want me to see?
357
00:18:32,946 --> 00:18:34,011
There... there was something...
358
00:18:34,046 --> 00:18:36,147
someone
359
00:18:36,149 --> 00:18:38,082
right there outside the window.
360
00:18:39,084 --> 00:18:40,084
No, Joe.
361
00:18:40,086 --> 00:18:41,185
Couldn't have.
362
00:18:41,687 --> 00:18:42,386
Wha...
363
00:18:42,388 --> 00:18:44,856
think about it, it's...
364
00:18:44,858 --> 00:18:47,725
second floor. How is anybody
even gonna get up here?
365
00:18:47,727 --> 00:18:49,160
There's no way
366
00:18:49,162 --> 00:18:51,295
that anybody would
be out there. Just...
367
00:18:52,164 --> 00:18:52,497
think about it, Joey.
368
00:18:52,499 --> 00:18:55,032
Hey, I...
369
00:18:55,034 --> 00:18:57,835
[Danika] It was impossible for it to be
somebody standing outside of our window
370
00:18:57,837 --> 00:18:59,670
because there was
no fire escape,
371
00:18:59,672 --> 00:19:01,873
there was nothing over there.
372
00:19:01,875 --> 00:19:04,075
I thought he was fricking crazy.
373
00:19:04,077 --> 00:19:05,109
Yeah, but I...
374
00:19:05,978 --> 00:19:07,078
I swear.
375
00:19:08,013 --> 00:19:09,147
I swear,
376
00:19:09,149 --> 00:19:10,982
I saw.
377
00:19:10,984 --> 00:19:12,984
It had these eyes.
378
00:19:13,752 --> 00:19:15,052
Oh, Joe.
379
00:19:15,420 --> 00:19:17,088
You gotta stop the recordings.
380
00:19:17,090 --> 00:19:19,157
You gotta stop
listening to them.
381
00:19:20,192 --> 00:19:21,959
Go to sleep, Joe.
382
00:19:22,895 --> 00:19:23,995
Go to sleep.
383
00:19:26,231 --> 00:19:27,265
Yeah.
384
00:19:28,967 --> 00:19:30,268
Yeah.
385
00:19:35,707 --> 00:19:38,276
Yeah, yeah.
You're probably right.
386
00:19:57,729 --> 00:19:58,863
[narrator] Knowing
Joe is struggling,
387
00:19:58,865 --> 00:20:01,332
and time together is rare,
388
00:20:01,334 --> 00:20:04,936
Danika makes a special
dinner for them both.
389
00:20:07,639 --> 00:20:10,107
[Danika] There was one night
where Joey was working a double,
390
00:20:10,109 --> 00:20:12,843
and I tried to do
something nice for him.
391
00:20:12,845 --> 00:20:15,046
I had lit candles around.
392
00:20:20,919 --> 00:20:21,953
Oh!
393
00:20:21,955 --> 00:20:24,222
For heaven's sakes, Joe.
394
00:20:25,958 --> 00:20:28,693
You scared me half to death
395
00:20:28,695 --> 00:20:30,428
and now my clothes
are going to be ruined.
396
00:20:30,430 --> 00:20:32,430
[Joe] I'll tell you what,
397
00:20:32,432 --> 00:20:35,800
I'll finish with dinner and
everything. You go upstairs and...
398
00:20:35,834 --> 00:20:37,935
take a shower.
399
00:20:37,937 --> 00:20:40,838
Soak out the stain or
whatever and just...
400
00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:42,240
Hey, just relax. Okay?
401
00:20:50,849 --> 00:20:51,315
Aw!
402
00:20:51,383 --> 00:20:53,084
Joe...
403
00:21:07,065 --> 00:21:11,702
[Danika] The messages on the mirror,
they were all negative towards him.
404
00:21:11,704 --> 00:21:14,138
So, it was like,
"He's a liar."
405
00:21:14,140 --> 00:21:15,973
"He doesn't deserve you."
406
00:21:17,876 --> 00:21:18,409
Joe.
407
00:21:20,145 --> 00:21:21,345
Joe!
408
00:21:21,913 --> 00:21:22,212
I swear,
409
00:21:23,782 --> 00:21:24,882
I saw.
410
00:21:24,884 --> 00:21:26,684
It had these eyes.
411
00:21:26,686 --> 00:21:27,718
[narrator] Danika Menano,
412
00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:31,555
is worried about her
husbands mental state.
413
00:21:31,557 --> 00:21:34,992
She isn't sure if she's more
afraid that he might be insane
414
00:21:36,094 --> 00:21:39,230
or if there really
is something sinister afoot.
415
00:21:41,099 --> 00:21:42,933
Joe!
416
00:21:44,936 --> 00:21:46,871
Baby, baby! Are you okay?
417
00:21:46,873 --> 00:21:47,772
You okay?
418
00:21:47,774 --> 00:21:48,673
- What's going on?
- Look.
419
00:21:48,675 --> 00:21:50,941
Did you do this?
420
00:21:50,943 --> 00:21:52,910
[Joe] She's like,
when were you in here?
421
00:21:52,912 --> 00:21:55,046
And I told her, I said,
I wasn't in here.
422
00:21:55,048 --> 00:21:56,881
I was in the living room
the whole time.
423
00:21:56,883 --> 00:21:58,316
She just turned
around and looked.
424
00:21:59,151 --> 00:22:01,319
And on the mirror, was...
425
00:22:02,988 --> 00:22:05,823
something written in the steam.
426
00:22:05,825 --> 00:22:09,060
I've been in the living room. I was in
the living room the whole time, I swear.
427
00:22:11,963 --> 00:22:13,164
Oh, Joe.
428
00:22:14,733 --> 00:22:16,167
We gotta talk.
429
00:22:27,913 --> 00:22:29,980
I'm really afraid, Joe.
430
00:22:30,982 --> 00:22:32,983
All this stuff that's
been going on,
431
00:22:34,219 --> 00:22:35,386
is it you?
432
00:22:37,122 --> 00:22:38,322
Is it not you?
433
00:22:43,195 --> 00:22:44,328
Are you okay?
434
00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:49,333
Yeah.
435
00:22:52,871 --> 00:22:54,939
There's even more
I didn't tell you.
436
00:22:59,644 --> 00:23:01,245
I'm hearing these voices.
437
00:23:03,915 --> 00:23:06,317
Especially this
male voice... yells.
438
00:23:08,387 --> 00:23:09,720
I'm home alone and...
439
00:23:09,755 --> 00:23:11,122
at night.
440
00:23:11,923 --> 00:23:14,024
When I'm alone in the
house, it's been...
441
00:23:16,962 --> 00:23:17,661
it's been telling me some
442
00:23:17,663 --> 00:23:18,762
bad things.
443
00:23:21,066 --> 00:23:23,033
[Joe] It was telling me
it wanted to kill me.
444
00:23:23,035 --> 00:23:25,169
It was telling me it wanted
to end my marriage
445
00:23:25,171 --> 00:23:27,004
and get me alone and kill me.
446
00:23:27,672 --> 00:23:28,973
God, Joe.
447
00:23:30,142 --> 00:23:31,976
I had no idea it was this...
448
00:23:32,077 --> 00:23:33,177
dark.
449
00:23:33,979 --> 00:23:35,146
This violent.
450
00:23:37,983 --> 00:23:39,183
Yeah.
451
00:23:40,485 --> 00:23:42,019
I didn't want to tell you.
452
00:23:42,954 --> 00:23:45,322
I didn't want to scare you
more than you already were.
453
00:23:48,093 --> 00:23:49,393
Do you think that...
454
00:23:50,695 --> 00:23:53,197
whatever this thing is...
455
00:23:54,833 --> 00:23:56,934
it's what's writing
on the bathroom mirror?
456
00:24:00,839 --> 00:24:02,106
I don't know...
457
00:24:06,945 --> 00:24:08,312
but I do know,
458
00:24:09,047 --> 00:24:10,347
that I'm not crazy.
459
00:24:12,884 --> 00:24:14,318
And I'm not...
460
00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:16,320
playing games with you.
461
00:24:18,990 --> 00:24:22,059
[Danika] At this point, we
definitely think something's up.
462
00:24:22,794 --> 00:24:24,895
Like, it's not... it's not...
463
00:24:24,897 --> 00:24:26,697
a little tiny, like, ghost
464
00:24:26,699 --> 00:24:28,933
Casper, the Friendly Ghost
haunting.
465
00:24:28,935 --> 00:24:30,701
This is now something that
we're starting to think
466
00:24:30,703 --> 00:24:34,071
is at a demonic level.
467
00:24:34,806 --> 00:24:39,043
He really felt like it was something
that wanted to separate us.
468
00:24:39,578 --> 00:24:43,013
[narrator] With the paranormal
activity escalating,
469
00:24:43,015 --> 00:24:47,017
they are willing to go to
extremes to get some answers.
470
00:24:47,085 --> 00:24:48,619
Danika suggests
471
00:24:48,621 --> 00:24:51,188
an unorthodox method.
472
00:24:51,190 --> 00:24:53,257
Maybe we need to
ask it what it wants.
473
00:24:53,825 --> 00:24:55,092
What it is.
474
00:24:56,761 --> 00:24:59,096
I've been asking, baby.
475
00:24:59,898 --> 00:25:02,166
The only response
I get are curses.
476
00:25:03,802 --> 00:25:05,269
We need to communicate with it.
477
00:25:10,408 --> 00:25:11,976
We need a truce.
478
00:25:15,914 --> 00:25:17,014
I got this.
479
00:25:18,850 --> 00:25:20,017
What?
480
00:25:20,886 --> 00:25:22,086
What are you doing?
481
00:25:22,621 --> 00:25:24,188
Look, this is what I got.
482
00:25:24,756 --> 00:25:26,357
I think we need
to use this thing.
483
00:25:26,791 --> 00:25:28,893
[Joe] We get to a point where
484
00:25:28,895 --> 00:25:31,829
we were gonna try anything
to see what's up.
485
00:25:31,831 --> 00:25:34,064
We decided this was
something we were gonna do.
486
00:25:42,941 --> 00:25:45,409
Is there someone in this house
487
00:25:45,411 --> 00:25:47,344
who's trying to get
our attention?
488
00:25:51,182 --> 00:25:52,349
[Joe] Yes.
489
00:25:57,022 --> 00:25:58,188
Do we know you?
490
00:26:02,961 --> 00:26:03,961
Are you related?
491
00:26:11,202 --> 00:26:12,303
No.
492
00:26:15,140 --> 00:26:16,807
What is it?
493
00:26:16,809 --> 00:26:18,275
- What? What?
- Baby?
494
00:26:18,944 --> 00:26:20,077
Baby, I...
495
00:26:20,144 --> 00:26:21,812
feel hands
496
00:26:21,879 --> 00:26:23,647
- on my shoulders.
- No.
497
00:26:23,649 --> 00:26:26,116
No, this can't be.
Joe, I don't see anyone.
498
00:26:26,118 --> 00:26:28,218
Yeah, baby. I'm telling
you, I feel it.
499
00:26:31,289 --> 00:26:32,389
Who are you?
500
00:26:38,563 --> 00:26:39,496
A...
501
00:26:40,899 --> 00:26:42,199
- Baby, you doing this?
- [Danika] Mmm-mmm.
502
00:26:43,101 --> 00:26:44,168
Z...
503
00:26:48,807 --> 00:26:49,974
E...
504
00:26:52,944 --> 00:26:54,278
[Danika] Who's Z?
505
00:26:55,981 --> 00:26:56,981
[Danika whimpers]
506
00:26:58,216 --> 00:26:59,249
E.
507
00:27:04,089 --> 00:27:05,155
L.
508
00:27:06,358 --> 00:27:07,391
Azazel?
509
00:27:07,993 --> 00:27:08,892
Well, what the hell is that?
510
00:27:08,894 --> 00:27:10,661
What? Is it a name?
511
00:27:10,663 --> 00:27:13,063
Azazel? I don't
frickin' know, baby.
512
00:27:14,733 --> 00:27:16,767
What? What's that on your leg?
513
00:27:16,769 --> 00:27:18,636
Joe! What's on your leg?
514
00:27:18,638 --> 00:27:21,038
- Oh, my God, Joe!
- Oh!
515
00:27:21,973 --> 00:27:24,808
[narrator] Joe and Danika
Menano have taken a chance
516
00:27:24,810 --> 00:27:27,778
trying to communicate
with a spirit
517
00:27:27,780 --> 00:27:30,214
they believe is
haunting their home.
518
00:27:32,017 --> 00:27:33,317
[Joe screams]
519
00:27:33,985 --> 00:27:35,953
What is that on your leg?
520
00:27:35,955 --> 00:27:40,858
But the message it had
is seared into Joe's skin.
521
00:27:40,860 --> 00:27:42,893
Oh, my God, Joe,
what is that on your leg?
522
00:27:42,895 --> 00:27:43,560
-Baby,
-What?
523
00:27:43,562 --> 00:27:44,962
What happened? What?
524
00:27:44,964 --> 00:27:46,830
Don't even worry about it.
Don't even worry about it.
525
00:27:46,832 --> 00:27:48,232
What the hell is Azazel?
526
00:27:50,135 --> 00:27:51,168
[Joe groans]
527
00:27:53,872 --> 00:27:54,872
Uh...
528
00:27:54,939 --> 00:27:56,273
Azazel.
529
00:27:57,409 --> 00:28:00,044
Biblical demon with yellow eyes.
530
00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:04,314
Biblical demon with yellow eyes?
531
00:28:06,751 --> 00:28:09,420
[Joe] Where have I been that
something this old or evil
532
00:28:09,422 --> 00:28:11,588
could be attached
to me or my house?
533
00:28:11,590 --> 00:28:13,757
You know, I'm just a regular
guy from Rhode Island.
534
00:28:13,759 --> 00:28:15,859
Like, why would this
thing be in my house?
535
00:28:15,861 --> 00:28:17,161
Uh, I mean...
536
00:28:17,163 --> 00:28:19,229
It's obviously
something intelligent.
537
00:28:19,431 --> 00:28:20,430
It's uh...
538
00:28:20,432 --> 00:28:22,966
paying attention to everything
that's going on.
539
00:28:24,135 --> 00:28:27,237
I never had anything like this
happen to me until I met you, Joe.
540
00:28:29,574 --> 00:28:30,974
[dramatic music playing]
541
00:28:31,609 --> 00:28:34,845
[narrator] Realizing
they need extra help,
542
00:28:34,847 --> 00:28:38,849
Joe contacts renowned
demonologist, Carl L. Johnson
543
00:28:38,851 --> 00:28:39,550
and his associate,
544
00:28:39,552 --> 00:28:41,418
Elise Carlson.
545
00:28:42,987 --> 00:28:46,790
[Carl] I'm a paranormal researcher
who specializes as a demonologist.
546
00:28:46,792 --> 00:28:49,493
I define demonology as,
547
00:28:49,495 --> 00:28:51,829
the systematic study
of the lore,
548
00:28:51,831 --> 00:28:54,698
and cultural traditions
of wicked spirits.
549
00:28:54,700 --> 00:28:58,535
[narrator] Johnson began his
paranormal career decades earlier.
550
00:28:58,537 --> 00:29:00,904
Investigating the
Perron family haunting
551
00:29:00,906 --> 00:29:02,906
in nearby Harrisville,
Rhode Island.
552
00:29:02,908 --> 00:29:04,108
That case...
553
00:29:04,110 --> 00:29:07,244
inspired the first
Conjuring movie.
554
00:29:09,814 --> 00:29:11,381
You know, Joe started
out when he called saying,
555
00:29:11,383 --> 00:29:13,117
"I hope you won't
think I'm crazy."
556
00:29:15,153 --> 00:29:16,186
Interesting.
557
00:29:17,188 --> 00:29:18,255
Ready?
558
00:29:18,590 --> 00:29:20,023
Let's do it.
559
00:29:23,695 --> 00:29:26,163
[Carl] Elise and I
work very well together.
560
00:29:26,798 --> 00:29:29,399
She has a background
in law enforcement
561
00:29:29,401 --> 00:29:31,335
and investigative procedure.
562
00:29:36,941 --> 00:29:39,676
I'm Danika, Joe's wife.
563
00:29:39,678 --> 00:29:41,411
- We're really glad you came.
- Yeah.
564
00:29:41,413 --> 00:29:43,413
I'm Carl. This is
my colleague, Elise.
565
00:29:44,415 --> 00:29:46,283
Joe's been making
a lot of recordings.
566
00:29:47,852 --> 00:29:49,887
We're just gonna talk
for a bit right now.
567
00:29:49,889 --> 00:29:51,388
Gather some information.
568
00:29:51,390 --> 00:29:53,423
All right? So, Joe...
569
00:29:53,425 --> 00:29:56,693
tell us what you believe these
voices have been saying to you.
570
00:29:56,695 --> 00:29:58,595
Uh, do you mind if
we record the conversation?
571
00:29:58,597 --> 00:30:01,098
So I don't miss anything.
572
00:30:01,100 --> 00:30:03,667
[Danika] I think that they came
just to make sure that we're not crazy.
573
00:30:03,669 --> 00:30:05,569
And honestly,
574
00:30:05,571 --> 00:30:08,906
I kind of wanted to make sure
that my husband wasn't crazy.
575
00:30:08,908 --> 00:30:11,575
[narrator] Carl and Elise
listen intently
576
00:30:11,577 --> 00:30:14,812
as Joe and Danika describe
what's been happening.
577
00:30:14,814 --> 00:30:17,848
[Elise] We learned
a little bit more about Joe.
578
00:30:17,850 --> 00:30:21,118
That he had been through
a very traumatic experience.
579
00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:23,420
You were grazed by a bullet
over your ear, in the line of duty?
580
00:30:24,088 --> 00:30:25,122
Yes.
581
00:30:26,591 --> 00:30:27,424
Yeah.
582
00:30:28,726 --> 00:30:30,427
Thought I was going
to meet my maker.
583
00:30:32,797 --> 00:30:35,232
That's when we started hearing
the voices in the house.
584
00:30:42,707 --> 00:30:44,408
It's telling me
some horrible things.
585
00:30:46,711 --> 00:30:48,111
Telling me I'm worthless.
586
00:30:50,782 --> 00:30:52,282
That I should off myself.
587
00:30:55,053 --> 00:30:56,320
They're trying to break us up.
588
00:30:58,790 --> 00:30:59,857
I see.
589
00:30:59,859 --> 00:31:03,026
[Carl] I thought there was
no ghost haunting Joe.
590
00:31:03,028 --> 00:31:05,028
Oh, there were strange things
happening in the house,
591
00:31:05,030 --> 00:31:06,997
but his main problem
592
00:31:06,999 --> 00:31:09,867
I thought was rooted
in his psyche.
593
00:31:09,869 --> 00:31:12,936
A manifestation of his own
thoughts, his own mind,
594
00:31:12,938 --> 00:31:14,304
his own conscience.
595
00:31:14,906 --> 00:31:16,039
Ah, but, uh...
596
00:31:16,708 --> 00:31:18,075
but maybe, uh...
597
00:31:18,743 --> 00:31:20,911
maybe the most
disturbing thing is uh,
598
00:31:20,945 --> 00:31:22,379
this writing on the...
599
00:31:23,381 --> 00:31:25,082
on the steamed up
bathroom mirror.
600
00:31:27,185 --> 00:31:28,986
That's fascinating, Joe.
601
00:31:29,754 --> 00:31:31,088
Just fascinating.
602
00:31:32,557 --> 00:31:33,991
[Elise] Interesting scripts.
603
00:31:35,960 --> 00:31:38,095
Do you mind if we just
have a look around?
604
00:31:40,031 --> 00:31:40,697
Sure.
605
00:31:40,699 --> 00:31:42,366
Yeah, yeah, sure. Sure.
606
00:31:46,638 --> 00:31:49,640
[Elise] So, Carl and I looked
around the house to...
607
00:31:49,642 --> 00:31:50,874
find handwriting samples
608
00:31:50,876 --> 00:31:52,609
without alerting the homeowners
609
00:31:52,611 --> 00:31:54,411
because we didn't want
to make them feel
610
00:31:54,413 --> 00:31:56,246
like we were calling
them out on it.
611
00:32:04,389 --> 00:32:05,656
We wanted to match up
612
00:32:06,024 --> 00:32:08,258
who could have possibly
written those words on the mirror.
613
00:32:09,794 --> 00:32:10,961
Interesting.
614
00:32:11,930 --> 00:32:12,763
What did you find?
615
00:32:12,797 --> 00:32:14,431
Well...
616
00:32:14,433 --> 00:32:17,234
you see how the A's and E's
are written on that mirror?
617
00:32:18,202 --> 00:32:20,971
I don't know anyone who writes
an A or an E like that.
618
00:32:21,339 --> 00:32:22,406
Agreed.
619
00:32:23,675 --> 00:32:26,777
These are written by
a number of different people.
620
00:32:26,779 --> 00:32:29,112
None of them match the
writing on that shower mirror.
621
00:32:29,747 --> 00:32:32,249
Yeah, none match
here in the mail either.
622
00:32:33,217 --> 00:32:35,118
Now this is getting
interesting, isn't it?
623
00:32:36,788 --> 00:32:37,621
Hmm.
624
00:32:39,390 --> 00:32:42,125
I just want to rule
out a few things.
625
00:32:43,828 --> 00:32:46,930
Rule out any possible
anomalies or...
626
00:32:46,932 --> 00:32:50,033
Yeah, or debunk any
paranormal causes. Look,
627
00:32:50,902 --> 00:32:51,635
steady readings.
628
00:32:51,702 --> 00:32:53,236
Oh.
629
00:32:53,238 --> 00:32:56,139
Oh. Right here is where
Danika said she was scratched.
630
00:33:03,381 --> 00:33:06,550
Yeah, but you see, there's nothing
in the red here, even the orange.
631
00:33:06,552 --> 00:33:09,886
I mean, there's nothing
unexplainable here except maybe...
632
00:33:09,888 --> 00:33:11,955
maybe the microwave
is leaking a bit.
633
00:33:12,890 --> 00:33:15,792
[Carl] I did not attribute it
to anything paranormal.
634
00:33:15,794 --> 00:33:18,862
So, that's how
I would have logged it,
635
00:33:18,864 --> 00:33:21,231
had not other information
come to light.
636
00:33:29,774 --> 00:33:30,407
[Elise] Thanks.
637
00:33:30,409 --> 00:33:31,375
[clears throat]
638
00:33:31,743 --> 00:33:33,810
Well, Carl, Elise...
639
00:33:33,812 --> 00:33:35,312
there's something
I want you to hear.
640
00:33:36,080 --> 00:33:37,848
I think we've got enough
information right now
641
00:33:37,850 --> 00:33:39,116
for our initial investigation.
642
00:33:39,118 --> 00:33:41,251
We'll check our notes
and get back to you, okay?
643
00:33:42,020 --> 00:33:43,553
Well, you see...
644
00:33:43,555 --> 00:33:45,155
there's a spirit and...
645
00:33:45,157 --> 00:33:48,225
he told us his name was Azazel
through the spirit board.
646
00:33:48,559 --> 00:33:50,827
Joe, it's okay.
647
00:33:50,829 --> 00:33:54,131
A real demon wouldn't
give its name like that.
648
00:33:54,133 --> 00:33:56,366
We're gonna gather our notes and
thoughts and we'll get back to you.
649
00:33:56,868 --> 00:33:57,767
Okay?
650
00:34:00,138 --> 00:34:01,771
[narrator] Back at their office,
651
00:34:01,773 --> 00:34:06,777
Elise begins reviewing the recording
they made at the Menano interview.
652
00:34:06,779 --> 00:34:11,081
Subject believes he is being
targeted by a negative entity.
653
00:34:13,918 --> 00:34:16,019
[audio static]
654
00:34:18,056 --> 00:34:20,157
[faint whispering]
655
00:34:30,601 --> 00:34:32,903
[audio static]
656
00:34:32,905 --> 00:34:33,970
[whispering] I'm
going to kill you.
657
00:34:33,972 --> 00:34:35,439
Ca-- Carl!
658
00:34:35,973 --> 00:34:37,174
Come in here.
659
00:34:38,376 --> 00:34:40,944
What's going on?
660
00:34:40,946 --> 00:34:44,281
I'm transcribing the notes from the
conversation over at the Menanos.
661
00:34:44,982 --> 00:34:47,117
I can hear someone...
662
00:34:47,119 --> 00:34:48,852
it sounds like someone inhaling.
663
00:34:48,854 --> 00:34:49,753
Like,
664
00:34:49,755 --> 00:34:51,054
about to speak.
665
00:34:51,889 --> 00:34:53,490
Like, a deep voice whisper.
666
00:34:53,492 --> 00:34:56,960
So, I rewind the
recording and...
667
00:34:56,962 --> 00:35:00,363
I can clearly hear there's another voice
that wasn't anyone there at the table.
668
00:35:00,965 --> 00:35:02,232
Listen to this.
669
00:35:02,533 --> 00:35:03,633
I'll boost it a bit.
670
00:35:12,910 --> 00:35:15,112
This may be a bit more
complicated than we thought.
671
00:35:16,848 --> 00:35:17,447
Play it again.
672
00:35:19,851 --> 00:35:21,418
[Carl] It's taunting Joe.
673
00:35:21,420 --> 00:35:22,853
It's got personality to it.
674
00:35:22,855 --> 00:35:25,021
It's putting him down.
675
00:35:25,023 --> 00:35:27,257
This then, was the voice
that Joe was hearing.
676
00:35:27,992 --> 00:35:30,127
[whispering] I'm
going to kill you.
677
00:35:31,395 --> 00:35:33,497
It was not his imagination.
678
00:35:33,499 --> 00:35:36,833
And it wasn't purely
a psychological anomaly.
679
00:35:36,835 --> 00:35:40,971
It was something detached
and something real.
680
00:35:41,839 --> 00:35:44,007
Something separate
from Joe himself.
681
00:35:45,510 --> 00:35:47,077
It's...
682
00:35:47,144 --> 00:35:50,647
actually responding intelligently to the
questions we're asking Joe and Danika.
683
00:35:50,649 --> 00:35:52,682
Or that they're asking us.
684
00:35:52,684 --> 00:35:54,985
And we have ourselves
a genuine haunting.
685
00:36:03,427 --> 00:36:06,596
[narrator] The demonologists
return to the Menanos.
686
00:36:06,598 --> 00:36:07,898
To Joe and Danika,
687
00:36:07,900 --> 00:36:10,367
it couldn't happen fast enough.
688
00:36:11,636 --> 00:36:13,470
We're so glad you guys are back.
689
00:36:13,472 --> 00:36:16,006
You said you'd got
voice on the tape.
690
00:36:16,008 --> 00:36:17,974
[Joe] When they called
and said that they
691
00:36:17,976 --> 00:36:19,376
had captured...
692
00:36:19,744 --> 00:36:21,711
speaking on their recording,
693
00:36:21,713 --> 00:36:23,647
I felt validated because
I knew it was real.
694
00:36:23,649 --> 00:36:26,082
Several, actually, Joe.
695
00:36:27,718 --> 00:36:31,588
What we think has been happening
to you is caused by a poltergeist.
696
00:36:31,590 --> 00:36:33,823
Brought on by the stress
of your near-death experience
697
00:36:33,825 --> 00:36:37,127
and opening up
your latent abilities.
698
00:36:37,129 --> 00:36:39,796
When someone has what we call
a near-death experience,
699
00:36:39,798 --> 00:36:41,364
[eerie sound]
700
00:36:43,234 --> 00:36:46,002
It opens up a whole
new dimension for them.
701
00:36:46,004 --> 00:36:48,638
They're suddenly aware
that there's more out there.
702
00:36:48,640 --> 00:36:51,174
And someone's life
is never the same
703
00:36:51,176 --> 00:36:53,009
after a near-death experience.
704
00:36:53,011 --> 00:36:57,247
Not only are poltergeists known to
wreak havoc by physically moving things,
705
00:36:57,448 --> 00:36:59,783
they can have a voice too.
706
00:36:59,785 --> 00:37:02,385
And it's that voice we're able to
hear through the recording we made.
707
00:37:03,721 --> 00:37:05,021
Listen to this.
708
00:37:05,122 --> 00:37:07,824
When I was transcribing the
notes from our last conversation,
709
00:37:07,826 --> 00:37:08,758
I realized,
710
00:37:08,760 --> 00:37:12,128
we'd also captured
an unnerving, deep growl.
711
00:37:13,030 --> 00:37:16,099
As well as several,
quite aggressive EVPs.
712
00:37:17,034 --> 00:37:18,301
Like this one.
713
00:37:22,039 --> 00:37:23,974
Do you have a message for me?
714
00:37:28,212 --> 00:37:30,180
[audio static]
715
00:37:32,650 --> 00:37:33,516
That's it.
716
00:37:34,852 --> 00:37:36,820
That's the voice
that's been torturing me!
717
00:37:36,822 --> 00:37:38,288
That's what I've been hearing.
718
00:37:39,790 --> 00:37:41,424
And now you're
hearing it too, right?
719
00:37:41,426 --> 00:37:42,993
Yes, Joey.
720
00:37:42,995 --> 00:37:44,261
We can hear it too.
721
00:37:44,695 --> 00:37:46,062
Oh, my God.
722
00:37:46,064 --> 00:37:48,798
[Carl] This voice that previously
only Joe Menano had heard,
723
00:37:48,800 --> 00:37:51,568
within his own hearing,
within his mind,
724
00:37:51,570 --> 00:37:53,803
had been taunting him,
deriding him,
725
00:37:53,805 --> 00:37:56,072
telling him he's worthless,
give it all up.
726
00:37:56,974 --> 00:37:58,041
Now we hear the voice.
727
00:37:58,043 --> 00:38:00,410
This turned everything around.
728
00:38:00,412 --> 00:38:02,145
It's a game changing moment.
729
00:38:02,413 --> 00:38:03,813
No longer do we think
730
00:38:03,815 --> 00:38:06,916
it is just what's
happening in Joe's mind.
731
00:38:06,918 --> 00:38:09,252
It's assaulting him,
it's talking to him.
732
00:38:09,954 --> 00:38:11,354
This is a real,
733
00:38:11,989 --> 00:38:13,890
parapsychological,
734
00:38:13,892 --> 00:38:14,991
phenomenon.
735
00:38:15,092 --> 00:38:16,192
So,
736
00:38:16,827 --> 00:38:18,328
this is real?
737
00:38:19,130 --> 00:38:21,097
Poltergeists are real?
738
00:38:22,733 --> 00:38:24,000
What are they?
739
00:38:24,635 --> 00:38:26,069
It's a German phrase,
740
00:38:26,071 --> 00:38:27,837
that literally means
noisy ghosts.
741
00:38:27,839 --> 00:38:30,040
But in today's terms,
742
00:38:30,042 --> 00:38:33,843
it's usually energy
coming from a living person.
743
00:38:33,845 --> 00:38:35,845
It's a call for attention.
744
00:38:35,913 --> 00:38:37,947
A call for help.
745
00:38:37,949 --> 00:38:40,950
A release of excess
energy that a person has.
746
00:38:40,952 --> 00:38:44,187
Leaving some sort of
mark on the universe.
747
00:38:44,855 --> 00:38:46,823
See, a poltergeist
is a construct.
748
00:38:46,825 --> 00:38:48,925
It takes a force.
It's very real.
749
00:38:48,927 --> 00:38:51,828
It's been documented.
It can move things.
750
00:38:51,830 --> 00:38:54,064
They can appear
as living beings,
751
00:38:54,066 --> 00:38:55,165
even though they aren't.
752
00:38:56,834 --> 00:38:58,268
[Joe] So, it's me?
753
00:38:59,470 --> 00:39:02,405
But it's not me?
That's a lot to take in.
754
00:39:02,407 --> 00:39:05,075
Now, just to be clear, Joe.
It is coming from you,
755
00:39:05,077 --> 00:39:07,777
from your emotions
needing a release,
756
00:39:07,779 --> 00:39:10,046
fear, stress, guilt...
757
00:39:10,048 --> 00:39:12,182
manifested outwards.
758
00:39:12,184 --> 00:39:14,784
It could be feelings connected
to leaving the force
759
00:39:14,818 --> 00:39:15,618
or...
760
00:39:16,921 --> 00:39:18,154
worry about letting
your father down.
761
00:39:18,889 --> 00:39:20,290
Joe.
762
00:39:21,192 --> 00:39:23,993
Your father was proud of you
till the day he died.
763
00:39:24,362 --> 00:39:26,162
And so am I.
764
00:39:27,431 --> 00:39:31,167
[Carl] In my long experience
with investigating, I've...
765
00:39:31,169 --> 00:39:33,970
encountered the demonic
numerous times.
766
00:39:35,005 --> 00:39:36,973
Never have I found a situation
where it was...
767
00:39:36,975 --> 00:39:39,042
so internalized.
768
00:39:41,846 --> 00:39:43,146
Joe's was unique,
769
00:39:43,148 --> 00:39:44,381
because...
770
00:39:44,383 --> 00:39:46,850
it was his inner demon
that was speaking to him.
771
00:39:46,852 --> 00:39:50,053
And I'm not talking about
a psychological inner demon.
772
00:39:50,721 --> 00:39:52,989
It was living on its own.
773
00:39:53,090 --> 00:39:54,824
Except, within him.
774
00:39:54,859 --> 00:39:56,760
Speaking to him.
775
00:39:56,762 --> 00:39:59,028
Never had a situation
like that before.
776
00:39:59,864 --> 00:40:00,797
Can we get rid of it?
777
00:40:00,799 --> 00:40:03,933
Yes, but it's going to
take time and effort.
778
00:40:03,935 --> 00:40:07,404
This entity has become very
real to you and that's it's power.
779
00:40:07,406 --> 00:40:10,774
You've got to treat it as a
separate personality and banish it.
780
00:40:10,808 --> 00:40:11,674
Diminish it.
781
00:40:12,843 --> 00:40:15,044
It's time to take back
your life, Joe.
782
00:40:16,881 --> 00:40:18,281
You got to treat the...
783
00:40:18,916 --> 00:40:20,450
activity like a... um,
784
00:40:20,452 --> 00:40:22,051
unruly child.
785
00:40:22,053 --> 00:40:25,722
Okay, don't give it any
unnecessary attention, especially,
786
00:40:25,724 --> 00:40:27,090
for behaving badly.
787
00:40:27,558 --> 00:40:29,225
We can't thank you enough.
788
00:40:33,864 --> 00:40:35,932
[Joe] I eventually
just learned how to
789
00:40:35,934 --> 00:40:37,801
block it out
and forget about it.
790
00:40:37,803 --> 00:40:39,235
You just have to find a balance.
791
00:40:53,851 --> 00:40:55,285
- Hey!
- Hi.
792
00:40:57,922 --> 00:40:59,155
This is for you.
793
00:40:59,857 --> 00:41:01,291
Thanks, baby doll.
794
00:41:02,560 --> 00:41:05,061
White wine? Smart.
795
00:41:05,663 --> 00:41:06,796
[Joe] I learned a lot
about the paranormal.
796
00:41:06,798 --> 00:41:10,266
I feel like I've learned
a lot about myself.
797
00:41:10,268 --> 00:41:13,102
And yeah, I mean, I still deal
with it from time to time but
798
00:41:13,104 --> 00:41:15,805
because I'm able to manage
it now I definitely think it's been
799
00:41:15,807 --> 00:41:17,407
more of a blessing than a curse
800
00:41:17,409 --> 00:41:18,775
because I came out the other end
801
00:41:18,777 --> 00:41:21,110
a little bit wiser,
a little bit smarter.
802
00:41:21,112 --> 00:41:23,079
Understanding a lot more.
803
00:41:23,948 --> 00:41:25,381
[eerie growling]
804
00:41:25,983 --> 00:41:27,116
Joey.
805
00:41:28,719 --> 00:41:30,119
What was that noise?
806
00:41:36,827 --> 00:41:38,428
I must have left
the faucet running
807
00:41:38,430 --> 00:41:40,063
when I washed my hands.
808
00:41:40,898 --> 00:41:41,931
- Okay.
- [Joe] Be right back.
809
00:41:41,933 --> 00:41:42,999
Okay.
810
00:41:47,104 --> 00:41:48,304
[eerie growling]
