[footsteps approaching]
[mark twain] "to find a petrified man,
or break a stranger's leg,
or cave an imaginary mine,
or discover some dead indians in a gold hill tunnel,
or massacre a family at dutch nick's,
where feats and calamities that we never hesitated about devising
when the public needed thrilling matters for breakfast.
The seemingly tranquil enterprise office
was a ghastly factory, of slaughter,
-mutilation... -Mutilation.
...And general destruction, back in those days."
[aaron] zak, you coming?
[zak] yeah.
[theme music playing]
[zak] there are things in this world that we will never fully understand.
[echoes] understand.
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.
It's working!
I can't give you an explanation.
[zak] this is our evidence.
Our ghost adventures.
Can we please be done with climbing mountains today?
We are making our way up into the original territorial enterprise building.
The one that mark twain himself used to work at.
The building has been abandoned for years now.
There's a guy, now, who owns this place.
He has told us that there's something in his building
that's affecting a lot of people.
So this is it.
This is the building.
All right, guys, so we're just waiting here
for the owner of the building, he's supposed to meet us here.
[thomas] there's horsehair and hide in the mortar.
If you grab it.
-[zak] there's a horse in here? -No, no,
the horsehair and the hides is what they used inside the mortar.
You feel the hair in the mortar?
-[zak] in the old mortar. -[thomas] yeah.
[zak] do you know who owns it?
[thomas] I happen to be the owner.
You are?
-[all laughing] -[thomas] yes, that's me.
That's who we're waiting for.
I guess, okay.
Do you need me to come on down there?
Yeah, if you want to, tom.
[man 1] bet he'll like this one.
[man 2] parkour!
Wow, that's impressive.
Now you gotta say, "parkour."
"parkour!"
yeah, you just did the parkour.
I don't even know what parkour is.
[zak] do you believe in ghosts and stuff?
Well, I'm starting to. [chuckles]
since being in here?
A little unusual.
[zak] built in 1876,
this building was home to the newspaper known as the territorial enterprise.
This weekly publication was known for the flamboyant style of journalism,
developed by writers such as mark twain.
[zak] what is all this stuff, tom?
[thomas] well, it's all historical equipment.
[zak] these are, like, printing blocks, huh?
[thomas] these are the printing blocks.
The printing press there was the original press that
the territorial enterprise printed on,
and mark twain wrote for the newspaper.
Have you heard about a woman who used to work here, when the museum was open?
She warned me, when I started doing the restoration of the building, to be careful.
And what we've done has been real respectful
to keep the building restored original.
[zak] why'd she tell you to be careful? For what?
[thomas] for spirits that are in the building
that we don't want to disturb their environment.
For instance, this is a portal for the spirits to go up.
This is where the printing plates were used, to be moved up.
So this is a portal where spirits traveled up?
That's what I was told. That's what was relayed to me.
[zak] look a this. Wow.
[thomas] so, this is actually mark twain's desk.
-[zak] this is his desk? -[aaron] no way.
[thomas] mark twain actually wrote on that desk.
-[others] whoa. -This was his desk.
[mark twain] "presently, when things began to look dismal again,
a desperado killed a man in a saloon and joy returned once more."
samuel clemens, mr. Twain.
We know that your house, your former house in connecticut, is very haunted.
It is.
I really admire your quotes on the afterlife,
because I really connect with it and agreed with it.
[mark twain] "I said to the murderer, 'you have done me a kindness this day
which I can never forget.'"
he, actually, pen right there.
[mark twain] "I wrote up the murder and experienced but one regret.
Namely, that they had not hanged my benefactor on the spot,
so that I could work him up too."
you know, I feel like...
I have a weird connection to mark twain.
[zak] is it possible the spirit
of one of america's most treasured writers
is here in this very building?
Nobody disclosed to me when I purchased the building
that there were remains in the building.
[zak] are you serious?
[thomas] we lifted up this blanket here and found this.
-[thomas] and it looks like... -[zak] oh, my gosh.
-[thomas] I don't know how you determine-- -[zak] wow.
Look, I have-- I own some odd fellows' human skeletons,
I own a mummified head.
-[thomas] so, is this-- -[zak] this is a mummified human.
-[thomas] it is genuine, not... -[zak] it is genuine.
-[thomas] ...Fake? -[zak] no, this is real.
[thomas] see, we don't know that.
[zak] there's bits and pieces of actual clothing from this.
It is mummified.
-[thomas] we... Somebody... -[zak] wow.
[thomas] we're not sure what it is,
or if it's native american or not or if it's a female.
Nobody told you that this was here?
-No. -[man] oh, my gosh.
[zak] when did you discover this?
[thomas] when I walked down here and was moving the blankets
and got freaked out.
[zak] I was not expecting this at all.
Whose remains are these?
How did they die? And does this have something to do with the activity here?
Billy takes emf readings near the body.
[beeping]
-[billy] look, as we're walking up... -[jay] oh, my gosh!
-[zak] is that the first one? -[billy] yeah.
-What was it? -It went to 18 milligauss just now.
Are your serious?
[billy] yes, and now, it's on zero. You see it right?
[zak] go closer to the thing.
[zak] to get a reading this strong so quickly,
likely means there is energy here.
The question is, is it residual or intelligent?
Hey, you guys, come up here quick.
As the storm intensifies outside,
I immediately head upstairs to see if the energy we are feeling in the basement
permeates the entire building.
But as soon as I reach the top of the stairs,
I am instantly overwhelmed with fear.
-[zak] billy. -Yeah.
[zak] come here.
[billy] yeah.
I was just walking up here.
Got to where he was, just looking up there.
[billy] yeah.
I just got a feeling like, uh...
Just the worst feeling ever,
it was just like, boom!
-Like, come up here, I will [bleep] kill you. -Really?
Hold on, hold on. There's readings around you.
There's readings around you, zak. I was on zero...
[zak] yeah, I can still feel it on me.
[billy] it hit 2.4.
[zak] you okay, aaron? What are you doing?
[aaron] what was weird is that I didn't even think we were filming.
It was a weirdest thing. I was so zoned looking at...
-[billy] 12, 15, 14... -[aaron] it's...
It's over here. It's over here.
-[woman speaking] -[aaron] I don't feel good.
I'm feeling what you guys are feeling right now.
[billy] it must be right in between zak and I.
-[zak] sandy. -Yes.
[zak] please, come on up. Okay, sandy is here now. Good.
Sandy come up to the fifth step, please.
Let me see that device.
See if it'll balance there.
Sandy just got here. I don't know you. Hi, how are you?
Hi, pretty good.
[zak] I just had a moment here,
and we just had a moment.
So, instead of interviewing you,
which is what I need to do right now, I'm not.
We're going to get in a circle.
Tom is there, this is it.
Listen, if you are here,
I respect you and we're in this building now.
I don't know what attachment you have to this building,
if your body is downstairs in the basement,
or what your story is.
But what I can say is that I can feel you,
we can feel you, my friend aaron and I.
Sandy, what kind of things happened here?
What kind of things have happened to you?
When we first came into the building, in early 2000,
people were being pushed on the stairs.
-This one? -Uh-huh.
-That's what... -This staircase...
-That's where that happened. -[billy] like you said.
That's where that happened to me.
[sandy] there was a lot of negative energy in the building,
people would be followed and just literally pushed,
just in midair, or they'd hit the wall.
Do people ever get overtaken...
-Yes. -...By energies?
[sandy] yes.
We've had books from shelves fly off,
from the shelving towards the people.
That weren't nice at all.
I got up on the fifth stair, like you asked.
May I move back down to the other one?
Why?
Um... I don't like it on this one.
It's not pleasant.
You don't like it on that step?
Correct.
-That's fine. -Thank you.
-Can I point out the coincidence? -[billy] yeah.
In fact, all we're doing is talking.
And she asked to move off of the step.
After near that same area is where that happened to me.
-[billy] camera's rolling. -[zak] roll, roll, roll.
-Cameras are coming. -[zak] come on. Come here.
Okay.
A really bad snowstorm is hitting virginia city right now.
I just was talking to somebody out here.
We have another building that we're going to go to right now.
-[billy] really? -Yes.
This guy owns this building. It's the knights of pythias building,
there are some people that want to talk to us,
but what they're saying is, it's just absolutely negative.
And a guy is trying to open up this building,
and I don't know, that's all I know,
is that multiple people have been attacked there.
I'm just going with it, because like I said,
things are just gonna fall in front of us and we're just gonna go with it.
-So why not? We're here already. -[man] yes.
-This storm is is crazy. I don't know. -[man] yeah.
And f we feel as though that this is a true lead,
we're going to add this to our investigation.
We're not gonna investigate just one building,
if we go up there and start hearing some crazy stuff
and we're allowed to film it,
we're going to add this to our investigation.
It's going to be a double lockdown at double location.
Let's go.
[zak] so, we're going right now.
[zak] we have all been affected by our investigation here at the territorial.
We head three blocks north to what may become our second investigation,
the pythian hall.
Built in 1876,
this structure was the first knights of pythias lodge in the state of nevada.
Knights of pythias. Right building, right?
-[man 1] yes, sir. -[man 2] absolutely.
Are you the owner?
-What's your name? -[speaks indistinctly]
jeffrey? He's a bouncer.
Okay. So, you guys own the place.
Yes, sir.
So, we were down at the territorial enterprise
we heard that you guys own this building, I've seen this building before.
What's going on here?
Like, what what is this place?
It's a fraternal hall, that's where the knights of pythias...
Oh, secret society.
[zak] they used to do some really weird stuff back in the day.
Yeah, this the lodge 1 of the knights of pythias.
[zak] the knights of pythias is a fraternal organization and a secret society,
much like the masons.
New candidates have to go through an initiation ceremony where they are blindfolded
and brought into a room where there is an open coffin with a skeleton inside.
Across from the skeleton are two crossed swords.
This ritual is about death, resurrection and mortality.
I've been hearing that this is a dangerous building
because of some of the things that are happening to people in here.
Is this true or false?
[debbie] there's plenty of stories of people getting pushed on these stairs,
and people getting really sick inside the building.
I know seasoned paranormal investigators who do not like to step foot in here
because of how it physically affects them.
[zak] okay.
You walk into this ballroom here,
you can imagine how many different secretive events...
Occurred in this building that nobody will ever know.
I mean, that's what this building was used for, for secret societies.
It's, like, my mind's eye just sees a row of people...
Standing all along the walls, ceremoniously.
That's the vibe you get.
Can you imagine the things that happened in here that we have no idea about?
Cannot even imagine.
So, talk to us about some of the things that you've witnessed,
tom, your partner.
Yeah, he was pushed out of
what used to be a women's bathroom at the top of the stairs.
This little area here has a short hallway.
Here was the men's restroom,
it had two stalls.
And then right through this doorway, there was another doorway here,
at the women's restroom.
And this is where I got tossed out.
I mean, literally, grabbed me by the arm,
they squeezed my arm and just threw me out.
Whoa! And you're a tough dude.
Yeah.
So, that takes a lot of force of some sort of energy.
It was quite the experience.
Ever since we started coming up here, the moment I'd walk through this door,
my eyes was set right onto that corner over there.
And to me, over in that corner has always been, like, a child's spirit, in a way.
I'm a mom, so I think that connects to me the most.
One of the guys that was with us during an investigation,
he walked me as close as I could get over that corner
and I just completely broke down crying.
-[zak] aaron. -Yeah.
Let me see polaroid.
Take a picture of that corner.
[shutter clicks]
-[aaron] felt a little dizzy. -[zak] you feeling dizzy?
[aaron] yeah, it was weird.
[zak] what was that?
[billy] that was like a loud breath.
[zak] almost, like, a voice.
-[debbie] I heard it. -[aaron] heard something move.
It's, like, tin. Going clink, clink, clink, or something like that.
[zak and billy] what was that?
[zak] at this very moment we begin hearing strange disembodied voices.
Keep in mind we are the only people in this building.
Although these two structures are, approximately, three blocks apart,
the experiences being told to us at both locations seem eerily similar.
When we first came into the building, people were being pushed on the stairs.
-[zak] this one? -Uh-huh.
There's plenty stories of people getting pushed on these stairs.
We've had children playing here when there was no children here at all.
To me, over in that corner has always been, like, a child's spirit.
[zak] before we lock down, we regroup to go over the evidence
we captured in both locations.
You guys find some stuff? Find some voices?
-Yeah. -There was a lot we got.
[billy] remember the stairs, and you got angry as soon as we hiked...
-Hiked up the stairs. -Yeah. That was my biggest reaction.
It was just like, boom!
-Like, come up here, I will [bleep] kill you. -Really.
I'm still not, physically, feeling good
from whatever shocked my body in that respect.
You're about to be blown away. Are you ready for this?
We're standing at the stairs in the circle.
Remember the circle we made at the top of the stairs,
-and you said, "this is possibly a portal." -yeah.
I put the device on the railing.
[zak] billy plays me four different voices,
all with vocal tone that we caught in that moment.
Each one sounds like children.
[indistinct audio playing]
-that's insane. That's insane. -[billy] okay, ready?
-I have, I have, wow... -That sounds like a kid.
Listen to this.
[zak] hearing what sounds like the spirit of a child
once again reminds me of something sandy told me earlier.
[sandy] we've had children playing here when there was no children here at all.
[zak] listen to this again. This is incredible.
It sounds like a young girl responding to aaron, who asks...
"did you break the glass?"
to us, it sounds like she's saying, "I touched the glass."
[aaron] did you break the glass?
[indistinct audio playing]
-that's insane. -[billy] that's weird.
These are vocal tones.
It's like they're in another room yelling at us or something.
Full vocal tone voices that we didn't hear.
Here's the next one.
[indistinct audio playing]
[billy] "aaron goodwin."
[indistinct audio playing]
[both] "aaron goodwin."
-"aaron goodwin." -[aaron] oh, [bleep]!
-And we're going back there. -Good luck, buddy.
Hey, because that spirit just called you by first and last name,
I'm sending you there to investigate tonight.
Because you were capturing these,
-you're going back with him. -[laughs] wait, wait, wait.
That was amazing. Hey, that was amazing.
[aaron] that was amazing.
-[zak] aaron goodwin. -[billy] aaron goodwin.
This sounds like a female.
[indistinct audio playing]
[billy] "aaron goodwin."
[zak] shockingly, our investigation yielded seven more unexplainable evps,
all with similar vocal tone.
[indistinct audio playing]
-[billy] what the hell is going on? -That is crazy, bro!
[billy] holy [bleep]!
It only gets better and better.
This is just classic, class-a evps.
Just full vocal tone.
If we were gold miners, and we hit a vein and we found the motherlode,
this would be it.
So, right now, we're switching gears,
because after that we came here,
where we're at right now, knights of pythias,
and we went upstairs.
[billy] this is when you and I went to the corner,
started the recording, I heard, like, a deep breath.
-[zak] yes. -You heard a...
We reacted to it.
[billy] but no one else heard it. It was captured.
Okay, so it was a disembodied voice.
[indistinct audio playing]
that's exactly what I heard, man.
-We reacted to the voice. -Wow. Dang.
And no one else heard it but us.
That is exactly what I heard.
[indistinct audio playing]
okay, so then it must lead it into this little bit.
-Did you hear that? -Yeah, right before the car honk.
-[debbie] I heard it. -[aaron] heard something move.
[indistinct audio playing]
yeah, a little kid or a female.
[indistinct audio playing]
[zak] as I listen to these evps, I'm excited,
but I still feel affected from the territorial enterprise.
When you're in this town, you don't just feel something and have it pass.
It stays with you, especially when they know we can hear them.
Virginia city never disappoints us with evps.
Oh, my god.
So to know this and to hear these voices,
it sets a completely different stage for the investigation.
I got chills, man. That was creepy.
People wonder why we keep coming back here. Because of this.
We just listened to some incredible evps.
Probably the most that we've captured with so much vocal tone.
And some that we heard inside this building that we even reacted to. Two of them.
It's incredible to begin an investigation
to know that these spirits are communicating like this.
That we are hearing physical voices from spirits with no physical bodies
and they seemed to be speaking to us and even saying our full name.
-Yep. -Which we heard, aaron goodwin.
[indistinct audio playing]
[both] "aaron goodwin."
[bleep] dude.
So with that said, myself, jay, you and I,
are going to go to the knights of pythias building.
'cause I heard that voice and I felt like that voice was speaking to me.
-What was that? -What was...
There was like a loud breath.
So I want to further investigate what that means.
Aaron, that voice said your full name
back at the territorial enterprise where mark twain worked.
There is also something very disturbing in the basement that we were shown,
the human remains of a mummified person that is unknown.
Billy, I want you going with aaron.
We will be split up. Two and two investigating simultaneously.
As aaron and billy head over to the territorial enterprise,
jay and I immediately start our investigation at the knights of pythias building
using a thermal sensor.
This is directional. So you can see, when I go over it,
the red lights follow my hand. Red indicates heat,
blue is cold. I have baselined it to the ambient room temperature.
We're going to go back there and see if anything moves by us. Start with this.
[zak] before aaron and billy enter the territorial enterprise,
they are going to use bolt cutters to open a mysterious gate on the property.
What's beyond ye gate over there, sir?
Well, this door here, I don't know what's under there.
It's underneath the wooden sidewalks that go through the whole town.
I have never been in there at all.
I have no idea, but it looks too creepy for me to get into.
-I picked up some bolt cutters today. -[chuckling]
[billy] let's cut the lock off and see what's under there.
[metal snaps]
got it.
-[billy] look at the vines. -[aaron] wow, dude.
[men grunting]
[billy] if you look up there, that's the boardwalk. That's where everybody walks.
[aaron] this is holding up the boardwalk? This little...
-[billy] yeah. This is it. -[aaron bleeps]
[billy] that's all that's holding up the boardwalk, under here, is these.
Wow, look how that is! That's just hanging on to the block wall.
That support broke.
[zak] billy notices a small passageway, so he climbs up to look inside.
[billy] look right there.
-[aaron] I know. -[billy] there's an opening.
And that old ladder right there, I don't know if it'll support me, but...
[aaron] go up there.
[grunting]
[zak] okay, we're just moving back now, into the back of the bottom floor
of the knights of pythias building.
We've got to remember that there were several negative encounters
that people have had in this building.
Including being pulled out and dragged out of a bathroom upstairs.
People get sick, so we got to be careful,
if there is something here that is that negative, we can be in danger.
Do you have plans for us?
[jason] what will happen if we go upstairs?
[zak] the upstairs is the secretive part.
They said they had somebody stand at the top of the stairs
to guard what was happening up there.
Hey, man, I just want to know...
Who you are? What you're doing?
-[instrument beeping] -whoa!
As I direct my communication to the spirit,
we capture this unusual light anomaly in front of me.
Listen, if there's somebody down here with us,
can you make one of our gear pieces move on our table?
Can you make something move in here?
I know you have a lot of power.
I now decide to roll on my digital recorder
and both, jay and myself are totally unaware of what we are soon to capture.
Zak and jay, downstairs, first floor, knights of pythias.
Can you come speak to us?
Right now, aaron is sitting at mark twain's old desk.
I've got the sls camera pinned on him
to see if there's any type of figures that show up maybe around him
or on the desk.
Aaron is using the polterpod device.
This device, to try and see if we can get some sort of communication going on.
Go ahead, aaron.
[zak] as billy is doing this intro to camera,
he is unaware that he just captured a figure standing next to aaron.
Is this mark twain standing at his desk?
What makes this even more compelling
is that no other figures are ever captured on the sls again.
[zak] do you like what these owners are doing to the building?
They said they're very careful about what they do.
Do you like the bar they put in?
Stopping. Stopping.
I now review the evp burst session audio.
[indistinct audio playing]
-what was that? -[bleep]
listen.
[indistinct audio playing]
[jay] something. I don't know.
It sounds kind of evil.
[indistinct audio playing]
what the [bleep]?
[indistinct audio playing]
you know how quiet it was.
[indistinct audio playing]
-do you know how quiet it was? -Dead silence.
-Do you know how quiet it was? -Yeah, dude.
-Listen. -[indistinct audio playing]
hold on.
[indistinct audio playing]
what the [bleep]?
This is mind-blowing. We will now show you where this evp was captured.
It was absolutely silent.
I demand you to make something move.
[zak on recording] do you like what these owners are doing to the building?
[indistinct audio playing]
[zak on recording] they said they're very careful about what they do.
-[jay] that's shocking, that's evil. -That was like a...
[zak on recording] do you like what these owners are doing with the building?
[indistinct audio playing]
[zak on recording] they said they're very careful about what they do.
Do you like the bar they put in?
[indistinct audio playing]
what the [bleep], jay?
Listen!
[zak on recording] they said they're very careful about what they do.
Do you like the bar they put in?
[indistinct audio playing]
-[both exclaiming anxiously] -[jay] holy [bleep]!
Dude, are you serious? What the hell is that?
[zak] this is incredible.
Multiple unknown voices captured in a very short period of time
during complete silence. And this is only the beginning.
I immediately roll on the recorder to do a second session right away.
Settling. Settling.
You were just talking to us.
We could hear you making voices,
but we couldn't understand what they are.
What is in this building?
As I say, "what is in this building?" we capture another anomaly.
I now review the evp session.
[indistinct audio playing]
[jay] you're kidding me. What the hell was...
-[zak] jay...- -[jay] holy [bleep]! Dude I--
-[jay] oh, my god. -[zak] listen.
[zak on recording] can you tell us your name?
[indistinct audio playing]
-[zak] it gives me chills. -[jay] dude.
[zak on recording] what is in this building?
[indistinct audio playing]
[zak on recording] are we...
[zak] jay and I become very excited, but even more terrified
because we know these voices were captured seconds ago during absolute silence.
[jay] that is craziest [bleep] I have ever heard.
Dude, holy [bleep]! Dude, that is straight-up something evil.
[billy] I'm approaching the area over here where the mummified body is.
[aaron] if this is your body, could you come next to it?
We want to know what you want us to do with it.
[billy] if this is your body that's in this case, is there some message you can give us?
That you can give to the owner of...
-[aaron] dispose, lift! -[billy] it does say that?
-[aaron] yeah, dispose, lift, right when you said that. -[billy] wow.
Dispose or lift it out of here?
Get it out of here. Lift it up, get it out. He doesn't want to be here.
Are you a male or a female?
[aaron] if you can just stand here right next to your body
that will be proof for us to tell the owner that he needs to get these out of here.
That he needs to dispose off your body from this place. To lift you out of this basement.
[zak] the guys continue investigating the basement but receive no further activity,
so they make their way to the third floor apartment
to use the spirit portal device, but before they arrive,
this strange groaning sound is captured on the x camera that's rolling up there.
[indistinct audio playing]
[aaron] you said my name!
[billy] hello! We can hear you through this device.
[indistinct audio]
[zak] they receive a male voice that we hear as saying, "I'm trapped."
[billy] we can hear you through this device.
[male voice speaks]
-[billy] ...Device. -[male voice speaks]
[billy] yes! Continue to speak, please.
Focus all of your energy on this device in my hand
and make it light up and beep. That's how we know for sure that you're here.
[zak] both aaron and billy all of a sudden start to become agitated for no reason at all.
Where's the spirit that ran through me on this staircase?
That took my breath away. Where are you at?
Who are you? [bleep] just talk to me, tell me. You know who I am.
Come out and talk to us!
[aaron] who are you? [bleep] just talk to me, tell me. You know who I am.
Come out and talk to us! Where are you?
Man, I'm really [bleep] angry right now.
Come on!
Why are you being so quiet?
This device has not gone off one single time.
No spikes, nothing. Not once in the basement. Nothing upstairs.
Like, what was causing the emf to spike so high?
[zak] billy is referencing when during our interviews
the device was documenting huge unexplained spikes.
-[billy] look, as we're walking up... -[jay] oh, my gosh!
[zak] after receiving several amazing evps,
I decide to conduct another session, but this time with the recorder undisturbed
and set on a piece of furniture about 20 feet away from us.
Are we in danger for being inside this building?
[jay] I know you don't want to tell your secrets,
but we know something happened here.
Was something opened in here? Some kind of ritual?
[zak] I now retrieve the recorder for immediate playback.
[indistinct audio playing]
[gasping]
[zak on recording] are we in danger for being inside...
[bleep]
[indistinct audio playing]
[jay] whoa! What the... Oh, dude!
[zak] what the [bleep] is in here?
Listen.
[indistinct audio playing]
what was that... [mimicking strange sound]
-I don't know, dude. -Here.
[jay on recording] was something opened in here? Some kind of ritual?
[indistinct audio playing]
some kind of ritual?
[gasping]
[zak on recording] are we in danger for being inside...
-[jay bleeps] dude. -That spirit just screamed.
[screeching]
[zak on recording] are we in danger for being here?
Everybody watching us right now, we were 20 feet away from this recorder
just to show you that we weren't contaminating it.
There was nothing. It's as quiet as in here as it is inside of a vault.
All of a sudden we feel compelled to head upstairs to the ballroom,
where all of the secret society ceremonies took place.
I won't lie, I'm extremely frightened in this building.
Especially after just hearing all those voices.
Careful.
-[zak] hold the railing. -[jay] I got it.
[zak] keep going, you're about a quarter of the way there.
Keep going.
[stairs creaking]
whoa! Did you just hear that?
What? What did you hear, jay?
It was like a... [grunting]
right in front of me.
[zak] they say that most people can't make it all the way up the stairs,
because back in the day when this was a secret society,
they had people standing at the top of the stairs
preventing anybody from going in there that wasn't allowed.
I now make my way up the stairs,
and as we reach the ballroom, it just feels like we are not allowed in here
and every move we make further into the room
is going to result in some type of punishment.
[zak] we heard you downstairs.
And we heard your voice up here.
Dude, I just heard something in that [bleep] corner.
[zak] go towards it.
Nice and easy.
Back at the territorial enterprise,
billy and aaron are both very agitated.
Billy challenges the spirit.
You were messing with aaron so bad, that he couldn't even see straight.
He didn't even know where he was at. Why can't you make this device light up?
You got us both pissed off now, we're both angry.
I feel it, he feels it.
[zak] as billy stands on the fifth step,
where the psychic felt a very negative energy...
I don't like it on this one. It's not pleasant.
-You don't like it on that step? -Correct.
[zak] and where during our interviews, I got badly affected.
It was just like, boom, like,
-"come up here, I will [bleep] kill you." -really.
Aaron notices the infrared light on the x camera begin to flash unexplainably.
-[aaron] hey! -[billy] what?
[aaron bleeps] the ir light's flashing on and off.
-[billy] what? -[aaron] film it.
Oh, that's weird.
[aaron bleeps] the ir light's
flashing on and off.
-[billy] what? -[aaron] film it.
Oh, that's weird.
[zak] billy now uses the paranormal puck 2 device to see if he can make contact.
[electronic voice] sit.
Sit? You want me to sit? Okay.
One, two, three, four, five. All right, I'm going to sit right here.
I'm sitting here on the fifth step.
[camera shutter clicks]
who wants to talk?
-[electronic voice] person. -Person?
-[aaron] person? -Yes.
What person?
-Can we talk? -[electronic voice] malevolent.
Malevolent? Oh, [bleep]! I know what's going on here. Who said aaron's name?
-[electronic voice] crystal. -[aaron] crystal?
-[billy] crystal. Do you know any crystals? -No.
[billy] interesting, it gave me a female's name. Isn't that kind of weird?
-Yeah. -Okay. Who is crystal?
-[electronic voice] burn. -Burn?
-Did you die in a fire? -[electronic voice] ceiling.
-Ceiling! -[aaron] ceiling?
[billy] yes.
What did tom say earlier during the interview?
That this building caught on fire and the ceiling fell in and definitely killed people.
That there were dead bodies in this building.
[tom] there was a fire here and the floors collapsed in.
1875.
[billy] what if crystal's one of those spirits, aaron?
[zak] back at the knights of pythias building, jay and I use the sb-11 device.
And after 15 minutes we receive one male voice
at which time we feel an energy press up on us
and hear something else in the room.
Are we alone in here?
What is the name of this group?
[indistinct audio]
-did that say, "pray for"? -[jay] pray for?
[zak] yeah, like, pray for... Like pray for me.
[jay exclaiming] dude! What the... Something's over there. Holy [bleep]!
[zak] something just came up on me.
[zak] right after this, jay sees a ball of light
that we believe not to be a flying insect on his camera
and then follows it and captures it again.
Do you see us?
[jay] whoa, there's something over there. Look.
[zak] do you see us?
[jay] whoa, there's something over there. Look.
Look! What was that? Did you see it?
-[zak] where? -[billy] it's gone.
It was just something big just flying all around in that corner.
[zak] I tell jay to walk in front of me
and put his hand out to see if the anomaly will grab his hand.
And incredibly we capture it going towards him.
[jay speaking]
[zak] yes, really?
[zak] jay says he feels something holding his hand
at the same exact time that the light anomaly appears moving towards his hand.
[jay speaking]
[zak] yes? Really?
[zak] this next chapter for us at virginia city
will go down as one of the most incredible in terms of overall evidence collected.
However the series of multiple voices captured on our digital recorder...
[indistinct audio playing]
I feel caused a very negative spirit attachment to follow me home
that affected me for about three days.
[indistinct audio playing]
and as terrifying as that sounds,
I can't wait to come back and do it again.
