This is a very strange arrival
to a location that we're investigating.
We're at a park.
Shadow Ranch Park in West Hills, California.
There's people over here playing soccer.
There's some little kids over here on a playground,
literally against the very building
that we're here to investigate.
And that is a ranch house
that is also currently being used
as a school for children.
It's just a strange dynamic,
because this very park,
it's a place where a lot of bad, violent things have happened.
Most recently, two people were shot and killed here.
And not only that, but in 1936,
the family that lived in this house,
four members of that family died
within a week of each other.
And many claim it is the curse
of Shadow Ranch Park.
And this is the reason we're here.
To help figure out what this is.
There are things in this world
that we will never fully understand.
[distorted voice] Understand.
[Zak Bagans] We want answers.
We have worked years to build our credibility...
Our reputation...
Working alongside the most renowned professionals
in the field.
Capturing groundbreaking proof of the paranormal.
-[Aaron] It's working! -[Zak] Whoa, look at that.
I can't give you an explanation.
[Zak] This is our evidence.
Our ghost adventures.
Present-day Shadow Ranch
was once the homeland of Native Americans
who lived here for 8,000 years.
A nearby cave is believed to be the home of Munits,
a mythical Chumash shaman
who was killed by an eagle
after murdering the son of a Chumash chief.
It is this dark event
that has been claimed to have cursed this park.
In 1869, Workman Ranch was built here.
The first of many deaths occurred
during a drunken brawl
when one ranch hand killed another
with his bare hands.
In the early 1900s,
Willard and Bessie Paul bought the ranch
for their large family.
In March of 1936,
Willard, both of his parents and his wife
all died within one short week.
Many claim they were the victims of the Shadow Ranch curse
and still haunt the home that now serves as a preschool.
Our critical mission here
is to try and document evidence of this curse
and to see if the claims are true,
that something truly dark resides in the basement.
Upon arrival, there's some homeless people
that are living literally right against the wall
of the ranch.
And we're gonna go see if they know anything
about the hauntings.
Have you heard about this place being haunted?
The ghosts?
It is now time to enter this strange building,
and I must admit, I'm very uncomfortable.
Something just doesn't feel right in here.
We now meet Ashlyn, who grew up near Shadow Ranch Park
and had a terrifying experience in the basement
when she visited here with her aunt.
She hasn't dared to return since, until today.
It's kind of a strange place.
It really is. As soon as I walked in, I kinda... started getting...
Wary.
So what's up with the whole basement?
People are saying how there's something down there.
Was there a point when you--
I physically couldn't go down there when we came here.
-[Zak] What do you mean? -[Ashlyn] There was something
holding me back, like, at my chest,
telling me, "No, do not come in."
And what was that pressure like?
Did it feel like something
-literally-- -Putting a hand on my chest,
telling me, "You cannot come in." Holding me back.
[Zak] Lydia is a former custodian
who tells us how this dark entity
affected her and others' ability to work.
Now tell me about the basement.
I had to go there
only when they told us we had to clean it
because there was a leak down there.
And that's when we saw the writing on the wall.
Somebody had wrote something, I think it's "Get out."
One of our workers we had,
she came flying up...
And she wouldn't go back down there again.
-So-- -[Zak] Did you feel something down there?
-Did you-- -Oh, yeah.
-[Zak] What-- What did-- What was the feeling? -[Lydia] Just tense.
Feeling like there's some people there.
And I said I would never work here alone ever.
-[Zak] Really? -Yeah.
-[Zak] It was that intense. -Yes.
Did you ever make it down into the basement?
No. I got so scared
to where I started panicking and I cried
and I ran out.
-It was that powerful? -Yeah.
-And you could not be here anymore. -[Ashlyn] Yeah.
Like, I'm already feeling it right now.
[Zak] Ashlyn now opens up about a very personal tragedy.
My friend's little brother...
Passed away here.
On one of the benches, they found him.
-Really? -Yeah.
When?
Halloween 2021.
Was he killed?
With him, he had a lot of problems.
There was a big ol' fight,
and we were told he OD'd.
We never got another full investigation done
on his death.
And he died just outside here.
Yeah. I actually took some time to sit at the bench with him.
[Zak] With his spirit?
There was a recent murder, a double murder here.
In 2019, two men came to Shadow Ranch Park to play basketball.
But after getting into an argument
with a third man in the parking lot,
-both were violently shot in the neck. -[gun fires]
Neither of them survived.
Why are these things happening here at this park?
It's a place where there's small kids coming to a school.
You know, back in 1936,
four family members that lived here died within a week of each other.
Do you think that there could be an underlying-type curse
-centralized-- -[Ashlyn] Oh, I don't doubt it.
You honestly see the old man
that sits up in the window all the time.
[Zak] The spirit?
-He lives on the second floor? -[Ashlyn] Mmm-hmm.
I begin to notice something is visibly wrong with Ashlyn.
Are you okay?
Um...
Do you wanna get outta here?
I quickly end the interview to get Ashlyn outside.
[whimsical music plays]
[automated voice] Bye-bye.
[Zak] It's weird to me that her friend's brother died right over there
and we have these double murders that just happened,
and all this violence and death
-is being attracted... -Right.
...all around this.
Where I think, in the basement,
-where that evil energy is. -[Billy] Yeah.
-[Zak] And I think that it needs this violence. -That's the net.
And I brought you guys here
because somebody just showed up.
When those four family members died,
they had 13 children.
They were all orphaned.
The youngest were two twins.
That little twin boy,
his daughter is here.
-Really? -[Zak] We have a direct family member.
-[Aaron] Whoa. -[Billy] So her dad--
[Zak] I have no idea if she knows about the hauntings,
but let's go talk to her.
I want you guys there with me on this one, okay?
Sure. Okay.
[Zak] How much more do you know
about why these four family members of yours
died within a week of each other?
Willard, my grandfather biologically,
died of pneumonia brought on by influenza.
And then, his parents died a few days later.
And Bessie, my grandmother,
she collapsed at the funeral of her in-laws.
And did not survive.
She was at the funeral...
-And collapsed. -...and collapsed
-and died at the funeral. -Yeah.
Was she sick with influenza?
Not that I know of. Not that I ever heard.
[Zak] Do you know what happened to the house after that or anything?
I-- I don't. I just know what happened to the children
is they were all separated.
So they were all adopted off.
We've heard about some people saying that there's a curse
-of Shadow Ranch. -[Embleton] Mmm-hmm.
[Zak] And some people have mentioned the timely deaths
-of your four family members... -[Embleton] Mmm-hmm.
...being a part of that.
-Being a victim of that. -That would make sense. Yes.
[Zak] I feel like before you leave...
Will you go upstairs
and see if we can document evidence
of this figure that you witnessed?
Are you going with me?
-[Zak] Come again? -Are you going up with me?
-[Zak] Yes. -Okay.
-[Zak] Unless you want to go down into the basement. -No, thank you.
-[Zak] No? -No.
[Zak] The fear is very real,
and I still can't wrap my head around how a place like this
serves as a preschool by day.
Our first step to diagnose and document what's here
is to observe someone who seems to be severely affected
by her encounters.
I have a lead-off camera.
We're gonna use this piece of equipment, the SLS camera.
Aaron, I want you to take some Polaroids.
And we're gonna see if we can find this spirit.
So where did you see this figure?
[Lydia] It went into that room.
This is the room that always gave me vibes.
[Zak] Is there somebody in there?
[metal creaking]
What's that noise?
[creaking continues]
[Jay] It's like metal swings...
-swinging. -It sounded like swings.
[Billy] It just started since we came up here.
[Zak] We all hear what sounds like an old, rusty swing
swaying back and forth.
Is there somebody in there?
[metal creaking]
[Zak] What's that noise?
[creaking continues]
[Jay] It's like metal swings.
[Zak] Do you wanna go in there?
[Lydia whispering]
[Zak] You don't have to, Lydia. If you don't wanna do it, don't do it.
[lock clicks]
That noise has stopped, too.
Whoa, whoa!
That was weird.
I just felt, like, a strong energy just go right through my body, like...
[whooshes]
All these rooms up here would be the family's bedrooms
where they would sleep.
-Yeah. -[Zak] True. If they did die in here,
they probably died up here, right?
[Zak] Who is up here?
Is there something in the basement that we should be fearful of?
[Aaron] Whoa, guys.
I literally was just taking some Polaroids
down that walkway outside,
and I heard Jay going, "It's time to go."
And I literally turned around and you guys are
all the way in here, dude.
It sounded just like Jay. I swear, dude.
[Billy] Oh, what is that?
-[Zak] What? -[Billy] There's a figure
laying on the ground right here
under the piano.
-[Zak] What? -[Billy] Yeah, yeah, it's on the ground.
-[Zak] Lydia. -[Billy] It's on the wall.
-Hold on, guys. -[Zak] We're documenting a figure inside of here.
[Billy] It's literally on the wall.
It's gone.
It was right here
on the floor under the piano.
And then it got up, grabbed onto this,
and then was standing here like this.
And then disappeared.
-[Zak] Really? -[Billy] Is this where you saw it?
[Zak] Disturbed by our evidence,
Lydia leaves the house immediately
and we now try to make verbal communication.
[static blaring]
-[voice speaking indistinctly] -[Billy] Who is this?
I'm Zak, who are you?
[voice speaking indistinctly]
[Zak] What is this letter?
[voice speaking indistinctly]
-[Zak] Is there evil in this house? -Wait,
it sounds like a little kid that goes, "Mommy," or something.
-[Zak] It sounds like a little kid. -Yeah.
[Zak] Is there evil in this house? Where?
[voice speaking indistinctly]
[man] That was right.
-[Zak] It's right. -That was right.
-[Zak] What? -[Billy chuckling]
-[Zak] What the [bleep] was that? -It was right.
[voice speaking indistinctly]
[man speaking indistinctly]
-[Zak] "Zak, you go to a gym?" -"Do you go to the gym?"
-"Zak, do you go to the gym?" That's what I heard! -[all laughing]
[Zak] Not anymore!
Whoa, whoa. That was weird on the side of my face.
-Did you breathe on me or anything? -No--
[man] Just passed...
[both] "I just passed!"
-[Zak] Yeah. "I just passed." -In the same voice!
-[man speaking indistinctly]
[Zak] Hold on, guys, real quick, come here. Come here real quick.
If there's anybody in here that we were just talking to,
can you come into this room?
We were told there's a little girl
that likes to come in and out of the house
by a little secret door.
I put that doll there for you.
Can you play with the doll?
[object clatters]
-[Billy] What was that? -[Zak] What the [bleep].
-That was my water. -[Billy] But where was it?
[Zak] It was all the way in my pocket.
[Jay] Think it was in your jacket pocket.
-[Billy] Was it? -[Jay] I remember, yeah.
-[Zak] That was weird. -[all] Yeah.
[Zak] Hold on.
[man speaking indistinctly]
[Zak] What was that? It says, "Pull out."
Listen.
[voice speaking softly]
Pull out, and then, what happened to your water bottle?
[Billy] Oh, it pulled it out of your--
-Pull it out. -Pulled it out of your pocket.
Pulled out of your pocket.
[Aaron] Dude.
-What the [bleep]. -[Billy] That's exactly what it did.
[Zak] Can you play with the doll?
[water bottle clatters]
-[Billy] What was that? -[Zak] What the [bleep]. That was my water.
[voice speaking softly]
[Aaron] "Pull out,"
and then, what happened to your water bottle?
[Zak] We heard a lot of different spirit voices.
We did experience some strange activity.
But for some reason,
why did we avoid the basement?
That is the hottest spot of the entire house.
And also said to be the most scariest,
and the darkest, and the most evil.
Why, the whole time in the house, did we never go in there?
I don't know.
[Zak] There's one area of this entire building
where everybody seems to fear
and that is the basement.
Even the staff, they refuse to go down there.
So we wanna give a clear answer to the school
to see if we have evidence
that may be of a very, very huge concern.
What the [bleep].
-[Billy] Dude, did you-- -[Zak] What the [bleep] was that?
Hey, that came straight from behind you.
-[Zak] No, it was down there. -[Billy] That's what I'm saying!
-You were standing like this and it was-- -[Zak] Watch out!
[Billy] It came right up.
[Zak] Unfortunately, our X-cameras aren't set up in the basement
for lockdown.
So we don't capture this growl on audio.
But to hear it in the moment is very chilling
and puts us all on edge.
[Zak speaking]
You wanna identify yourself?
Who is making noises down here?
-[Aaron] Whoa. -[Jay] What the [bleep].
[all] What?
[Jay] Somebody just straight up touched my, like...
-Full on, like... Yeah. -[Aaron] Really?
-[Zak] Where? Where? Where? -[Jay] I thought it was somebody. On my shoulder.
I was standing right here and it felt like someone came up and literally, like,
went like that on my shoulder hard as hell.
[Zak] Are you a demon?
Are you a beast?
[Billy] Whoa, whoa, whoa. You said that,
and the TriField spiked from 0.9
-to a 4.7. Yes. -[Zak] Whoa.
[Billy] That's the first spike I've seen on this device.
-[Zak] I don't wanna be down here. -[Billy] I don't either.
It feels really, really [bleep] down here.
[Zak] I suddenly feel this overwhelming wave of dark energy
and must leave the basement.
I need to get out and get some air.
I just have to.
But I'm not the only one who's being affected by this negative force.
Let's get out of here, dudes. I need to get out of here.
We're gonna try another, uh, EVP session.
Thanks for staying with me, Lauren.
Jay's gone now. So is Aaron.
Do you feel threatened because we're staying down here in your area?
[Zak] Upstairs, I begin pacing through the classrooms.
It almost feels like something is trying to take over my body.
Do you not like it when we call out "the beast"?
[Zak] I feel confused, like I don't know where I am,
but I'm still in control of myself.
Or say that you're a beast?
What does that mean to you?
Really?
I wasn't watching. Oh, there it is again.
Oh, wow. Is that you?
That was a 7.7.
[Zak] Again, the EMF detector responds to a surge
of unknown EMF
as Billy says, "The Beast."
LAUREN: Huge spike.
[Zak] I now wonder if this entity is racing back and forth
between the basement, trying to attach itself to me.
All I can do is keep moving to try to distract it
from attacking the rest of the team.
[Billy on recording] You don't like it when we call out "the beast"?
Or say that you're a beast?
What does that mean to you?
So that's pretty impressive.
When it goes... [growls]
...that's when the spike happened.
We need to show Zak that.
[Zak] I make the call for everyone to leave the house
so we can regroup and go over our evidence.
And what we discover is shocking.
When we arrived here,
it's a very interesting dynamic,
because it's a very haunted, very old ranch house.
One of the oldest.
[Zak] That is extremely haunted. I'm gonna say that right off the bat.
-[Billy] I believe it. -[Aaron] For sure.
All the deaths in a very mysterious park.
And all of these spirits were victims of these violent crimes,
including this recent murder.
Are they all drawn, their spirits
to the house?
And these are the multiple words and multiple spirits
that we were making contact with?
And is the basement harboring something so dark,
so powerful and so vicious
that it has something to do
with attracting these spirits to this house and keeping them here?
This probably was one of the most
incredible Polterpod communication sessions
that we have had in quite some time.
-Sentences. Not just words. -In quite some time.
Okay, ready?
-[indistinct radio chatter] -[Zak on recording] Whoa.
-[Billy] Who is this? -"Who is this?"
-[Aaron] "Who is this?"
[Zak] Can you imagine that? You walk into a location
and there's, like, literally a spirit.
If you could see them in goggles, he's just like, "Who is this?"
-[Zak on recording] Whoa. "Who is this?" -[man speaking]
Now's when we just started getting more and more different spirits, right?
Yes.
[static blaring]
[Zak on recording] Is there evil--
Is that a little kid?
-It sounded like a little kid. -[Billy] Yes.
Sounds exactly like a little kid.
When we first arrived to this location,
there was a person that is homeless
that lives right here at the front of the building.
And I want you to tell me,
what is the spirit that he said
is very known for coming in and out of this ranch house?
-A little kid. -Not just a little kid.
-But a little girl. -[Billy] Mmm.
[little girl giggling]
[static blaring]
[Zak on recording] Is there evil here?
Where?
So I remember that there was about four syllables there.
-Or four words. -[mimics voice undulating]
-Right. -[Zak] And we really couldn't make it out.
It's kind of unintelligible,
but it is a response to my question.
If any of you are watching at home
and you're listening to this,
if you have any idea of what you think this says,
please post it on social media
with #GhostAdventures.
[Zak on recording] Where?
All right, this next one...
-"That's right." -Whoa!
-[Billy] Clear as can be. -"That's right."
[man speaking]
Go on.
[Zak on recording] What was that?
Let me hear that.
[Zak on recording] ...was that?
"They're sad and afraid."
Like with an accent.
Is he talking about the spirits?
But what are they afraid of?
Of what's in the basement.
-[Zak on recording] ...was that? -[man speaking]
Same exact voice, four different words
-spoken on a fast-sweeping ITC device. -Right.
This is the type of responses that
I would consider are gold.
Here's another one.
Does it say, "You wanna go to the gym,"?
[Zak] I mean, like, look, I take that a little personal
'cause I've, like, stopped lifting weights a few years ago.
I know, like, I've been a little insecure about the dad bod.
[Aaron and Billy laughing]
But I mean, like, this is, like, the first time
a frickin' ghost has said...
[Aaron] Said to go to the gym.
..."Time to go back to the gym."
-"Time to go to a gym." -[Zak] Why don't you go to the gym?
[laughing continues]
So this, this was a moment that I felt something breathe on me.
[Aaron] Right, and you went like that.
[Zak] And right at the exact moment that I felt something breathe on me,
I heard a spirit or something go, "You just passed."
[Billy] Listen to this.
[Zak on recording] Did you breathe on me or anything?
[Aaron on recording] No.
[all] "You just passed."
-Is the spirit telling me that I just passed a spirit? -[Billy] Right.
[Zak on recording] Did you breathe on me or anything?
-[Aaron on recording] No. -[voice speaking]
[Billy] We're in the basement, and you guys left
and Lauren and I stayed for one more recording.
Thanks for staying with me, Lauren.
And we said the word "beast,"
-and it spiked to a peak of 15. -Okay.
[Billy on recording] When we call out "the beast,"
or say that you're a beast...
Watch.
...what does that mean to you?
Whoa!
-[Lauren] Huge spike. Huge spike. -[Billy] Really?
So let me get this straight.
The only two spikes that we got on EMF
the whole time of it being down there
-is when we used the word "beast." -Yes.
Once when I was down there and said "beast" and left.
Are you a beast?
-What do you-- -[Billy] Whoa, whoa, whoa.
You said that and the TriField spiked
from a 0.9 to a 4.7.
Second time, you said the word "beast"
and you got a spike when you used that word.
An even larger spike than when you were holding it.
-[Lauren] Huge spike. Huge spike. -[Billy] Really?
Let me show you the EVP that we got
-during that section. -[Aaron] No way.
You got an EVP during that?
Several.
So you're telling me during that spike that you received,
at that same exact moment, you received an EVP.
It's trying to speak as we're calling it out,
-and it's showing up on the TriField in EMF spikes. -[Zak] Okay. Okay.
Do you feel threatened
because we're staying down here in your area?
Who are you?
What are you?
Do you not like it when we call out "the beast"?
Or say that you're a beast?
What does that mean to you?
Did you catch the second one?
It almost sounds like it says, "Demon."
Or something.
[both] Yeah!
[in gruff voice] Demon.
[gruff voice speaking]
-[Zak in normal voice] You... You... -[Aaron] I hear it.
...were not only detecting the beast's presence
through an EMF,
but you were also recording the beast.
Yeah.
[Zak] The basement was a completely different world.
It was entering into a whole other dimension.
-[Billy] Totally different. -[Zak] And this is the danger
of what the staff is telling us about.
We have to fully determine more evidence of what is in here,
because if we believe there's something truly dark
and even demonic down in the basement,
that is not a place for this type of entity,
where there's little children.
That's extremely serious [bleep].
[Zak] Okay, we are now sealed
inside of this historic Shadow Ranch.
It is a very old, creepy building
that is now being used as a school.
We just listened to several different, intelligent voices
that we captured on our Polterpod.
[male voice speaking]
[gruff voice speaking]
[Zak] But our focus is the beast,
this entity that is reported
to be existing in the basement.
So we have to be very careful for ourselves, but also,
give very accurate information
to the operators that run this school
for little children.
We captured a little child's voice earlier,
so I've set a teddy bear out for it
to see if the little girl goes and plays with the teddy bear.
Do you see the teddy bear on the table?
If you touch it,
it'll make the lights go up on the hands.
[Billy] Go ahead and touch it.
[Zak] As I start taking thermal stills,
I notice what appears to be a small-type figure.
Okay, just wanted to document.
I thought I saw, like, a little child
standing right here.
And if you look at my thermal,
it looks to be just like the shape
of whatever this stuff is.
When you go back this way,
it kind of creates the silhouette of a little child.
But I just debunked it.
Oh, what was that?
-[Aaron] What was that? -[Zak] I just heard a little kid.
I just heard a little kid going... [makes high-pitched noise]
I very clearly hear a little girl,
and wonder if it came up from the basement.
This little girl has also been seen
by homeless people living in the park.
[Zak] Okay, so right now, we've basically set
trigger objects in this classroom here.
We have some motion balls
that will light up only if they're touched.
They're not EMF balls.
We also have on that same table
a couple of actual playing balls
and seeing if those move.
We're gonna have Jay keep an eye on that.
And we're gonna go upstairs
where Lydia came running down these stairs
after she saw an apparition in the same room
where we captured the XLS figure.
I came down the stairs
and I said, "I'm not going back up there."
-[Zak] After you saw this. -Yes.
[footsteps advancing]
[Billy] Anyone else feel, like, weird?
[Aaron] I [bleep] feel like I got zapped.
[Billy] And I was fine yesterday.
[Aaron] I can't keep my balance.
It's really weird, you guys, I'm serious.
I'm experiencing the same thing you're experiencing.
[Zak] Okay, well, don't move.
[Billy] I'm, like, grabbing the wall right now.
[Zak] Everything seems to be normal right now
in terms of any unknown energies.
Hey, is the beast here?
Let's see the beast.
Oh, my God!
-Are you [bleep] serious right now? -[Billy] What?
-[Zak] How long have I been standing here doing EMF? -[Billy] A while.
[Zak] But the entire time, I've had nothing higher than a two milligauss spike.
[Billy] What did it spike to?
[Zak] The second that I said, "Beast,"
it went up to, like, a four or five milligauss spike.
[Billy] Are you serious?
[Zak] That's the only time.
You can see this needle's not doing anything.
-But when I said the word "beast"-- -[Billy] Oh, you said it again
and it spiked all the way in the red!
[Zak] I want everybody to watch this.
Not only did the device spike the first time
when I said "beast."
Let's see the beast.
But now, I say "beast" a second time,
and immediately receive a massive spike.
I said the word "beast"--
[Billy] Oh, you said it again and it spiked all the way in the red!
[Zak] As we continue on to the piano room,
Billy starts getting dizzy, and he has to sit down.
[Zak] What are you feeling, Billy?
I just, I-- I don't know.
-I feel, um-- -[Zak] Hey, Aaron.
-Yeah? -[Zak] Hold on a second. Billy's not feeling good.
Like, to the point where I need to sit down.
I feel like I need to take this jacket off
'cause I'm burning up.
[Zak speaking]
[Billy] Just for a sec... I mean, like...
[Zak] This is a very rare occasion
where we just started,
and Billy, uh--
[Billy] I don't know what this is. I really don't know what this is.
I just feel really [bleep] dizzy right now.
To the point where I'm worried about falling over.
Uh, I need some water, though, or something. I'm...
-[Zak] Hang on a second. -...feeling funky, man.
[Zak] We gotta pause the investigation for a moment.
Jay, can you bring some water up to the second floor immediately?
[Jay] Okay.
[Zak] We're literally ten minutes into our investigation
and it's just really weird in here.
I don't know how they have kids here. I don't get it.
Or... Or something else happens when it turns night time.
[Billy] I don't know. You start talking about the beast, dude,
and everything starts spinning.
Is it because we captured its voice?
What?
[Zak] If there's something here that's affecting our friend,
in the name of Jesus Christ,
you have no power, you have no permission to be doing this,
do you understand?
If you're angry right now,
then let's see you manifest.
Let's see you throw something.
Why are you choosing me? Is it because I recorded your voice
and was asking you
if you're threatened by us?
That was the question I asked in the basement.
"Are you threatened by us?"
[Zak] Did this start when you were in the basement
setting up the camera?
-Is that when this all started? -Yes. Yes.
[Zak] Can I ask you a question?
Do you know what day it is today?
Uh, the Thursday?
[Zak] "The Thursday"?
Thursday. It's Thursday.
-[Zak] Okay. Why did you say, "The Thursday,"? -I had to think about it.
-[Zak] Okay. -I'm okay.
Let me see your head-- Oh, oh!
[Zak coughing]
What's wrong?
[Zak] Oh, my God.
-[Aaron] Dude, you all right? -[Zak] No.
-[Aaron] What happened? -[Zak coughs]
[Zak] Dude, the second I said, "Let me see your head,"
it felt like I swallowed ten feathers
and they got stuck in my throat.
I have a mask on. There's no reason why that should happen.
[Aaron] Right.
[Zak] Something is here with us.
And we know it is the beast.
Billy removes his hat,
and I immediately notice a mark on his head.
-Oh, my God. -[Aaron] Damn.
[Zak] Jesus Christ, dude. Why didn't you tell us that it was bad?
Do you even remember hitting your head, Billy?
[Billy] Well, I was getting out of there
and I felt like something was around me,
so I was rushing to get out.
And I felt something on my left shoulder
push me, and then, I bumped into the, uh--
[Zak] That's really bad, Bill. That is really bad.
Aaron and I are super confused right now.
Billy reveals a very serious fresh injury to his head
and tells us he felt something push his shoulder
setting up X-cams in the basement earlier.
We are shocked that he is just now recalling all of this for us.
And as we review our footage from that X-cam,
we see that this event was captured on camera.
[Billy] Ow!
[groans]
[bleep]
[groans]
It's the same exact place, Jay.
Yeah, it was right on the left shoulder.
[Zak] That's really bad.
And it was my left shoulder,
pushed me right into the thing.
I can show you where, but I don't even wanna go down there.
[Zak] This has caused a shift in our investigation.
So we head downstairs,
and now, I don't feel well.
And we are all just off.
[Aaron] You okay?
Ohh. Oh!
That... You know that feather thing you just said?
It felt like hands of feathers
going on my neck,
like, and then going... [whooshes]
-Did you just hear someone yell? -[Billy] No.
I heard a girl scream.
What is going on right now?
[Aaron] Dude, I am not kidding, Zak.
Something just grabbed the back of my neck, just went... [whooshes]
-[Billy] Feathers? -[Aaron] Like four feathers.
Oh, my God, you know what's going on? I just [bleep] figured this out.
I think this is something, like, ancient.
Feathers in your throat, feathers, you felt, like, feathers.
-[Aaron] On my neck. -Something...
There was a cave right near here, literally, where a Chumash shaman
was killed by an eagle.
-[Billy] Oh. What? -[Aaron] No way.
Think about it. Killed by an eagle, the feathers, like--
And you said feathers in your throat.
[Zak] Could the spirit of that shaman be here with us?
[Zak] You guys go to the basement.
-[Aaron] Okay. -[Zak] I'll stay up here
-in case the beast, it could be up here. -[Billy] Yeah.
[Aaron] Brought you a gift.
Brought my friend Bill, you remember him.
[whispering]
[Billy] Hey.
Be careful, because Jay was pushed,
-I was pushed. -Oh, I know.
I wanna be the most careful.
Seriously.
[Billy] This house was built in the 1800s, dude.
[object clatters]
[bleep] was that?
[person speaking indistinctly]
[Zak] What was that?
I just heard a voice go, "Hi."
I hear a faint child's voice say hi.
[voice speaking]
[Zak] What was that?
-[Billy] Aaron? -Yeah?
I was on my way outta here like this...
And as I was coming by right here,
something pushed my shoulder
right into this thing right here.
And almost knocked me out.
[Zak] As Aaron very dangerously starts trying to make contact
with the beast,
Billy hears something shuffling.
[static blares]
Wait, stop, stop, stop, Aaron.
Did you hear that?
-[Aaron] What? -Something shuffled over there.
Something shuffled around there. I heard that.
Soon as I said the word "beast."
[Aaron speaking]
[Billy] Yeah.
-[Billy] Nothin'? -[Aaron] Nothin'.
-Keep going with this or no? -[Billy] Keep going with that.
'Cause I'm... I'm hearing.
-Bro... -[Billy] What?
What is that?
[Zak] Aaron starts freaking out
as he feels something on his neck.
But our footage confirms that it's just a fly.
That thing just started swirling around and hitting my neck.
It was a fly.
-Weird that it was a-- -[Aaron] Oh, God.
I literally almost [bleep] my pants, dude.
I-- That was bad.
[Zak] As I joined Jay at nerve,
we immediately see a strange-shaped black mass
move past a window.
What the [bleep] is that?
-[Jay] I don't know. -[Zak] See that?
[Jay] Yeah.
[Zak] Without hesitation,
I immediately grab my camera
and run out there to try to debunk it.
[Jay] It'll be the first window,
so you need to go around the corner.
[Zak] That's the window right there.
As you can see...
That...
You can see, there is nobody here.
We were told by numerous people
that they have seen black shadow figures in this park
where a recent double murder took place
and where this lady's friend died
on this very bench.
[static blaring]
-[Billy] Speak. -[voice speaking indistinctly]
[Billy] What was that?
-[Billy] Speak. -[voice speaking]
[Billy] What was that?
Who are we talking with?
-[voice speaking indistinctly] -"Found out about us."
That's what I heard.
Who are we talking with?
[voice speaking indistinctly]
-[voice speaking indistinctly] -"Found out about us."
That's what I heard.
Who runs this? Who's the beast?
-[object clatters] -What the [bleep].
[Jay] Something just... It was like a big movement,
or something got dragged or moved
or something. I heard it in the basement.
That's the camera I have on.
-You guys heard it, too, right? -[Billy] Absolutely.
-Yeah, it shuffled. -We can't find anything.
Who runs this? Who's the beast?
What the [bleep].
[Zak] As Aaron and Billy hear something shuffle,
watch what happens next.
It feels like it's just something that no one talks about,
and let it be,
-but-- Yeah. -And stay out of its area, man.
[Aaron] And they, like, there's a house, a school--
-[metal clanging] -[Aaron] Oh, my God!
[Billy] What the [bleep].
Aaron?
What was that, dudes?
[Zak] This unexplained sound happens at the same exact moment
as when this anomaly appears.
-[Aaron] ...a school-- -[metal clanging]
-[Aaron] ...a house, a school-- -[metal clanging]
-[Aaron] Oh, my God! -[Billy] What the [bleep].
-Go see what it-- -You go see!
[Billy] We gotta see what the [bleep] it was.
[Aaron] Go see what it was! You go first.
[Jay on radio] I got eyes on everybody. I don't know what that was, guys.
[Billy] I don't see anything, man.
-I have no idea what that was. -[Aaron] I don't know.
It came from over here, right? Is it under the house?
[Zak] I head over to check on Aaron and Billy,
and as I look down into the basement,
I get dizzy.
Whoa.
[groans]
Dude... I'm freaking out.
[Zak] I just walked over to the top of the steps
and I just... Everything started moving.
Where are you at, Zak?
[Zak] I'm just sitting down right here. I just went
to the top of the stairs and I just got really dizzy.
Was that you, the beast?
The moment I call out the beast,
watch what happens to our motion-activated balls
over in the classroom.
Is that you, the beast?
And then, after the balls go off,
this ball of light moves away from them.
At the end of our investigation,
Billy goes upstairs
and uses the Paranormal Puck 2 to ask who is trapped here.
And he receives this very sad response.
How many spirits are trapped here?
[automated voice speaking]
[Billy] How many spirits are trapped here,
it said, "Children."
I don't like that.
[Zak] Our investigation here is one we won't soon forget.
We experienced high levels of activity
that we believe makes the curse
of Shadow Ranch undeniable.
Most importantly, to anyone who dares visit this terrifying structure,
we warn you to avoid the basement at all costs.
