that... 375 00:23:39,518 --> 00:23:42,386 things weren't like they should be. 376 00:23:42,421 --> 00:23:44,422 [clapping] 377 00:23:46,858 --> 00:23:50,027 [Gord] I knew my parents were in the room next door. 378 00:23:51,730 --> 00:23:54,498 There was a meeting room where 379 00:23:54,533 --> 00:24:00,104 there was my mom, my dad, the nurse, a doctor. 380 00:24:02,707 --> 00:24:05,776 And still, there was a feeling that something was there. 381 00:24:05,811 --> 00:24:09,947 I didn't know what or who it may have been. 382 00:24:13,718 --> 00:24:16,120 But there was something in that hallway with me. 383 00:24:20,792 --> 00:24:22,493 I just didn't know what was going on. 384 00:24:22,527 --> 00:24:24,195 [man] Hi. 385 00:24:29,568 --> 00:24:30,601 [Gord] I tried to put it out of my mind 386 00:24:30,635 --> 00:24:32,436 as best as I could. 387 00:24:34,673 --> 00:24:38,275 I had brought a couple small toy cars with me. 388 00:24:38,310 --> 00:24:39,543 I got down on the floor 389 00:24:39,578 --> 00:24:41,479 and started playing with the cars. 390 00:24:41,513 --> 00:24:43,447 I would, kind of, roll the car down 391 00:24:43,482 --> 00:24:45,649 three or four feet before it would veer off. 392 00:24:45,684 --> 00:24:48,953 I'd run, pick it up, come back. 393 00:24:49,654 --> 00:24:52,289 I had pushed the cars maybe 394 00:24:52,324 --> 00:24:53,657 two or three times down the hall 395 00:24:53,692 --> 00:24:56,560 and gone and collect them up... 396 00:24:56,595 --> 00:24:58,462 [clapping] 397 00:24:58,497 --> 00:24:59,530 [Gord] ...when I heard a sound. 398 00:24:59,564 --> 00:25:01,799 [clapping] 399 00:25:01,833 --> 00:25:03,434 [Gord] It sounded like clapping. 400 00:25:03,468 --> 00:25:04,702 [clapping] 401 00:25:04,736 --> 00:25:08,439 It wasn't like your typical, like, applause, 402 00:25:08,473 --> 00:25:10,708 but it was more like somebody's just super excited 403 00:25:10,742 --> 00:25:13,844 about something fun happening. 404 00:25:14,546 --> 00:25:17,448 I stood up, looked around. 405 00:25:17,482 --> 00:25:21,051 It sounded like it was at the end of the hallway. 406 00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:24,288 Couldn't see anything. 407 00:25:24,322 --> 00:25:26,223 There was nobody there. 408 00:25:29,261 --> 00:25:31,495 I kept trying to find it. 409 00:25:31,530 --> 00:25:35,232 The hairs on the back of my neck were standing up. 410 00:25:37,636 --> 00:25:38,736 There was nobody around 411 00:25:38,770 --> 00:25:40,804 that could've made that sound. 412 00:25:40,839 --> 00:25:44,174 The dread really started to rise up in me. 413 00:25:47,812 --> 00:25:51,582 I had that feeling that I wanted to run, 414 00:25:51,616 --> 00:25:54,151 but there was nowhere I could run to. 415 00:25:54,185 --> 00:25:57,321 [clapping] 416 00:25:57,355 --> 00:25:58,889 [Morgan] Kids like Gord are often 417 00:25:58,924 --> 00:26:00,858 more receptive to paranormal activity. 418 00:26:00,892 --> 00:26:04,528 Their minds just aren't as busy as we are as adults. 419 00:26:04,563 --> 00:26:06,530 Their brainwaves tend to be a lot different than adults 420 00:26:06,565 --> 00:26:07,765 and often, if you've got 421 00:26:07,799 --> 00:26:09,700 a hotspot of paranormal activity, 422 00:26:09,734 --> 00:26:12,336 kids will be the ones to pick up on it, 423 00:26:12,370 --> 00:26:14,371 whether it'd be frightening or not. 424 00:26:18,510 --> 00:26:20,611 I had to, kind of, 425 00:26:20,645 --> 00:26:23,347 just gather my thoughts, 426 00:26:23,381 --> 00:26:24,315 try to convince myself 427 00:26:24,349 --> 00:26:25,616 that maybe I was just hearing it, 428 00:26:25,650 --> 00:26:28,052 that it wasn't actually there. 429 00:26:31,756 --> 00:26:34,258 But then this blast of cold air 430 00:26:34,292 --> 00:26:36,093 came from behind me 431 00:26:38,663 --> 00:26:40,598 and pushed the car down, 432 00:26:40,632 --> 00:26:42,533 not to four feet, not five feet, 433 00:26:42,567 --> 00:26:45,636 but pushed it down the entire length of the hallway. 434 00:26:45,670 --> 00:26:49,173 [eerie music playing] 435 00:26:52,177 --> 00:26:53,477 [clapping] 436 00:26:53,511 --> 00:26:55,479 [Gord] And I heard the clapping again. 437 00:26:55,513 --> 00:26:56,880 [clapping] 438 00:26:56,915 --> 00:27:01,151 [Gord] It was very excited, like uncontrollable joy. 439 00:27:01,186 --> 00:27:02,620 It was almost like 440 00:27:02,654 --> 00:27:05,255 somebody or something wanted to play. 441 00:27:07,525 --> 00:27:09,760 I walked slowly down the hallway. 442 00:27:09,794 --> 00:27:13,163 This sense of terror and dread 443 00:27:13,198 --> 00:27:14,665 just came over me. 444 00:27:14,699 --> 00:27:16,467 This dread just kept increasing 445 00:27:16,501 --> 00:27:19,069 the closer I got to the car. 446 00:27:21,172 --> 00:27:23,674 [panting] 447 00:27:23,708 --> 00:27:26,377 The car had flipped over on to its roof. 448 00:27:27,412 --> 00:27:29,647 The car just started spinning 449 00:27:29,681 --> 00:27:32,750 and there's no way that it could've been doing that. 450 00:27:32,784 --> 00:27:35,786 It was just spinning around, and around, and around. 451 00:27:35,820 --> 00:27:37,721 Almost as if somebody had taken their finger 452 00:27:37,756 --> 00:27:40,157 and flicked the front of the car. 453 00:27:41,393 --> 00:27:43,093 It wasn't explainable. 454 00:27:46,765 --> 00:27:48,332 It just drained the blood from my body. 455 00:27:48,366 --> 00:27:49,933 I just felt ice cold. 456 00:27:49,968 --> 00:27:52,636 I had this pit in the bottom of my stomach 457 00:27:52,671 --> 00:27:55,339 and just this fear that I haven't felt before. 458 00:27:56,574 --> 00:27:58,509 I quickly reached down, 459 00:27:58,543 --> 00:27:59,643 grabbed the car, 460 00:27:59,678 --> 00:28:01,278 ran as fast as I could 461 00:28:01,312 --> 00:28:02,680 back down the hallway. 462 00:28:02,714 --> 00:28:05,949 I curled up into a little tiny ball. 463 00:28:05,984 --> 00:28:08,285 My heart is pounding, I'm out of breath, 464 00:28:08,319 --> 00:28:11,321 and I just want to go home. 465 00:28:11,356 --> 00:28:13,323 I just want to go to some place safe. 466 00:28:13,358 --> 00:28:16,360 [eerie music playing] 467 00:28:20,665 --> 00:28:22,466 [Gord] That's when I saw 468 00:28:22,500 --> 00:28:25,169 the first glimpse of a shadow. 469 00:28:25,203 --> 00:28:28,739 [eerie music playing] 470 00:28:28,773 --> 00:28:31,308 It just didn't make sense why a shadow would be 471 00:28:31,342 --> 00:28:32,409 where it was. 472 00:28:32,444 --> 00:28:35,612 It was just there, watching me, 473 00:28:35,647 --> 00:28:37,347 almost like it wanted me to keep playing 474 00:28:37,382 --> 00:28:39,216 with the cars. 475 00:28:39,250 --> 00:28:41,318 [eerie music playing] 476 00:28:41,352 --> 00:28:43,587 [Gord] I just froze. 477 00:28:43,621 --> 00:28:46,323 I knew my parents were in the room next door, 478 00:28:46,357 --> 00:28:47,591 but I couldn't get to them. 479 00:28:47,625 --> 00:28:48,892 I tried to scream, 480 00:28:48,927 --> 00:28:52,763 but it was as if there was no air in my lungs. 481 00:28:52,797 --> 00:28:54,431 It was a face that I will 482 00:28:54,466 --> 00:28:55,833 - never forget. - [laughs] 483 00:28:55,867 --> 00:29:00,404 [Gord] And there was just this big smile on his face. 484 00:29:00,438 --> 00:29:04,708 Almost like a crazy, happy smile. 485 00:29:04,743 --> 00:29:08,579 The arms and the body were in a straitjacket. 486 00:29:08,613 --> 00:29:11,548 It was moving towards me. 487 00:29:11,583 --> 00:29:13,117 This was not my imagination. 488 00:29:13,151 --> 00:29:14,218 This was a ghost. 489 00:29:14,252 --> 00:29:17,254 [eerie music playing] 490 00:29:25,430 --> 00:29:27,397 - Hi. - [screams] 491 00:29:28,700 --> 00:29:34,271 [Gord] It was the most terrifying thing 492 00:29:34,305 --> 00:29:36,306 that I've ever experienced. 493 00:29:36,341 --> 00:29:39,309 [dramatic music playing] 494 00:29:41,546 --> 00:29:43,180 My parents came out of the room. 495 00:29:43,214 --> 00:29:44,515 I instantly jumped up, 496 00:29:44,549 --> 00:29:46,517 and I ran over to my mother, 497 00:29:46,551 --> 00:29:49,386 and gave her a huge hug. 498 00:29:49,420 --> 00:29:51,221 What's the matter, sweetie? 499 00:29:53,358 --> 00:29:55,793 [dramatic music playing] 500 00:29:55,827 --> 00:29:58,195 I could see the shadowy figure still down 501 00:29:58,229 --> 00:29:59,263 at the end of the hall. 502 00:30:00,331 --> 00:30:01,965 What is that? 503 00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:04,034 Do you see anything at the end of the hallway? 504 00:30:06,104 --> 00:30:08,338 [Gord] My mom said she didn't see anything. 505 00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:11,508 No. 506 00:30:11,543 --> 00:30:13,610 Gord, we're here now. 507 00:30:13,645 --> 00:30:15,245 - What is it? - What is it? 508 00:30:16,314 --> 00:30:18,348 I was playing with my cars, 509 00:30:18,383 --> 00:30:20,284 and then it started going by itself, and... 510 00:30:20,318 --> 00:30:22,452 [Gord] I began to tell 511 00:30:22,487 --> 00:30:24,521 what had happened to my mom and dad. 512 00:30:24,556 --> 00:30:26,490 And then I saw a man in a straitjacket... 513 00:30:26,524 --> 00:30:27,858
