1
00:00:07,700 --> 00:00:10,300
[Phil]
This forest is awfully still.
2
00:00:13,500 --> 00:00:16,333
[strange sweeping noise]
3
00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:18,767
-What the [bleep] was that?
-It was that way.
4
00:00:18,767 --> 00:00:20,033
It was that way.
Let's go. Let's go.
5
00:00:21,700 --> 00:00:25,300
[Josh] On this episode
of Expedition X...
6
00:00:25,300 --> 00:00:28,266
my team continues
its terrifying investigation
7
00:00:28,266 --> 00:00:29,567
into Savannah, Georgia...
8
00:00:29,567 --> 00:00:30,367
[Phil] Look at this.
9
00:00:30,367 --> 00:00:33,567
-What?
-That is too [bleep] crazy.
10
00:00:33,567 --> 00:00:37,467
...supposedly the most
haunted city in America,
11
00:00:37,467 --> 00:00:39,567
exploring a legendary
theater...
12
00:00:39,567 --> 00:00:41,100
[Phil] Wow, there's the stage.
13
00:00:41,100 --> 00:00:43,467
...that was the site of
a terrible tragedy.
14
00:00:43,467 --> 00:00:44,667
A little boy named Ben
15
00:00:44,667 --> 00:00:46,867
got trampled to death
in that stampede.
16
00:00:46,867 --> 00:00:51,266
[Josh] And an infamous creek
with a truly horrifying past.
17
00:00:51,266 --> 00:00:53,567
They went
from enslaved to free,
18
00:00:53,567 --> 00:00:56,867
and perhaps they were free
for an hour or two.
19
00:00:56,867 --> 00:01:00,100
Some were shot
and drowned in the river.
20
00:01:00,100 --> 00:01:03,133
[Josh]
They discover disturbing
secrets long hidden,
21
00:01:03,867 --> 00:01:05,800
uncovering the possible source
22
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:08,333
of powerful
paranormal activity.
23
00:01:19,166 --> 00:01:21,266
[Phil] Our first night at
Savannah's Sorrel Weed House
24
00:01:21,266 --> 00:01:23,800
was an unforgettable
experience.
25
00:01:25,266 --> 00:01:26,533
[screams]
26
00:01:27,166 --> 00:01:28,667
But there's
much more to explore
27
00:01:28,667 --> 00:01:32,367
in what's allegedly
America's most haunted city.
28
00:01:32,367 --> 00:01:36,000
With reports of
unexplained activity
surging all over town,
29
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:38,467
Heather and I have
organized a town hall
30
00:01:38,467 --> 00:01:40,667
for locals to
share their experiences
31
00:01:40,667 --> 00:01:43,734
and hopefully point us
to our next investigation.
32
00:01:45,367 --> 00:01:46,967
Well, thank you
so much for being here.
33
00:01:46,967 --> 00:01:49,166
I love seeing so many faces,
34
00:01:49,166 --> 00:01:50,567
although that also tells me
35
00:01:50,567 --> 00:01:52,700
there's a lot of work
to be done here.
36
00:01:52,700 --> 00:01:55,000
Who here has experienced
anything they can't explain
37
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:56,100
by a show of hands?
38
00:01:58,066 --> 00:02:00,233
Wow, that's a lot of hands.
39
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:02,700
Okay, let's get some stories.
40
00:02:03,667 --> 00:02:05,066
One night,
me and one of my partners,
41
00:02:05,066 --> 00:02:08,266
we was walking
and we heard in the distance,
42
00:02:08,266 --> 00:02:10,667
you know, a... [moaning]
43
00:02:10,667 --> 00:02:14,300
And it was a lady,
and she had on long clothes,
44
00:02:14,300 --> 00:02:16,166
and she was just strolling.
45
00:02:16,166 --> 00:02:18,567
And by the time
she walked about 20 feet,
46
00:02:18,567 --> 00:02:20,100
then she disappeared.
47
00:02:20,100 --> 00:02:21,300
Faded away.
48
00:02:21,667 --> 00:02:22,667
My jaws kind of dropped.
49
00:02:22,667 --> 00:02:24,100
But I'm seeing a lot
of people in this room nod
50
00:02:24,100 --> 00:02:25,767
and just be like,
"It makes sense.
51
00:02:25,767 --> 00:02:27,033
It's Savannah."
52
00:02:28,100 --> 00:02:31,400
I've had many experiences
all around Savannah
53
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:33,667
my whole entire life
since I was a child.
54
00:02:33,667 --> 00:02:37,166
And I did have an experience
at the Savannah Theatre.
55
00:02:37,166 --> 00:02:40,500
All of a sudden,
I felt something kind of
brush against my hair
56
00:02:40,500 --> 00:02:41,867
and touch my back.
57
00:02:41,867 --> 00:02:44,467
So it was--
it was pretty interesting.
58
00:02:44,467 --> 00:02:45,700
[woman] I definitely
recommend you guys hit
59
00:02:45,700 --> 00:02:46,900
the Savannah Theatre
while you're here.
60
00:02:46,900 --> 00:02:50,266
It is the oldest
operating theater in America.
61
00:02:50,266 --> 00:02:52,667
Personally, I've
experienced shadow figures.
62
00:02:52,667 --> 00:02:54,200
I've seen things move.
63
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:58,166
I've had disembodied voices
when there's nobody in there.
64
00:02:58,166 --> 00:03:00,567
It's definitely a hot spot
here in Savannah.
65
00:03:00,567 --> 00:03:03,333
I've had numerous experiences
in Wright Square.
66
00:03:04,166 --> 00:03:06,567
Wright Square was the gallows
67
00:03:06,567 --> 00:03:09,667
from the original colony
in 1733.
68
00:03:09,667 --> 00:03:12,400
It is where the first woman
in the state of Georgia,
69
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:15,800
Alice Riley,
was executed by hanging.
70
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:19,667
Alice Riley is arguably
the most famous spirit
in the city,
71
00:03:19,667 --> 00:03:22,100
so I always
have crazy experiences
72
00:03:22,100 --> 00:03:23,634
seeing her in the square.
73
00:03:25,066 --> 00:03:27,667
You guys definitely
need to hit
Moon River Brewing Company.
74
00:03:27,667 --> 00:03:30,100
It used to be
the finest hotel in the city.
75
00:03:30,100 --> 00:03:32,500
But also there has been
a number of tragedies.
76
00:03:32,500 --> 00:03:34,867
We are talking about multiple
deaths in the building.
77
00:03:34,867 --> 00:03:36,867
Now we have shadow figures
in the building,
78
00:03:36,867 --> 00:03:38,300
REM pods going off,
79
00:03:38,900 --> 00:03:40,266
spirit box activity,
80
00:03:40,266 --> 00:03:43,166
and it's been going crazy.
81
00:03:43,166 --> 00:03:45,800
I live outside of Savannah,
off of Ebenezer Creek,
82
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:48,634
and there's a lot
of paranormal activity
out that way.
83
00:03:49,767 --> 00:03:51,567
Orbs, dust clouds.
84
00:03:51,567 --> 00:03:54,700
There's been some strange
noises down there.
85
00:03:54,700 --> 00:03:56,567
I've never believed
in a lot of stuff like that
86
00:03:56,567 --> 00:03:58,166
and never had
experiences like that
87
00:03:58,166 --> 00:04:00,100
until I moved there.
88
00:04:00,100 --> 00:04:03,567
I'm a photographer and a kayak
guide out on Ebenezer Creek.
89
00:04:03,567 --> 00:04:05,333
A lot of history
out on that creek.
90
00:04:06,367 --> 00:04:09,000
A lot of slaves died out there
during the Civil War.
91
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:12,400
What they refer to
as the Massacre of Ebenezer.
92
00:04:13,467 --> 00:04:16,133
There's multiple places
that draw me on that creek.
93
00:04:16,567 --> 00:04:17,567
Highly recommend it.
94
00:04:17,567 --> 00:04:18,567
[Phil] Okay.
95
00:04:18,567 --> 00:04:20,667
You gotta go
to Ebenezer Creek.
96
00:04:20,667 --> 00:04:24,166
I am a 7th-generation
descendant of enslaved people.
97
00:04:24,166 --> 00:04:26,900
My ancestors are there
in the water.
98
00:04:27,667 --> 00:04:30,100
Their remains are
on the ground,
99
00:04:30,100 --> 00:04:32,266
and they are angry.
100
00:04:32,266 --> 00:04:37,100
And maybe we could give them
some solace that all is well.
101
00:04:37,100 --> 00:04:40,367
They're waiting for you there
at Ebenezer Creek.
102
00:04:40,367 --> 00:04:43,567
[Heather] As we hear about
one haunted hot spot
after another,
103
00:04:43,567 --> 00:04:46,600
it's clear Phil and I have
our work cut out for us.
104
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:49,100
We map the most
compelling locations,
105
00:04:49,100 --> 00:04:50,567
the Savannah Theatre,
106
00:04:50,567 --> 00:04:52,166
Wright Square,
107
00:04:52,166 --> 00:04:53,967
and the
Moon River Brewing Company,
108
00:04:53,967 --> 00:04:56,834
continuing out of the city
to Ebenezer Creek.
109
00:04:57,567 --> 00:04:59,600
Tracing a line from
the Sorrel Weed House,
110
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:01,166
where we first investigated,
111
00:05:01,166 --> 00:05:04,266
an interesting pattern
emerges.
112
00:05:04,266 --> 00:05:08,367
All of the hot spots
line up almost perfectly.
113
00:05:08,367 --> 00:05:11,200
We've got
almost a straight line.
114
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:13,867
Right through the center
of historic Savannah.
115
00:05:13,867 --> 00:05:16,300
Right! This could be
something like a ley line.
116
00:05:16,300 --> 00:05:18,100
Theoretical lines of energy
that are said
117
00:05:18,100 --> 00:05:21,000
to enable paranormal activity
to manifest.
118
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:22,166
It could explain
119
00:05:22,166 --> 00:05:25,066
why there's so much activity
along this line.
120
00:05:25,066 --> 00:05:26,600
[Phil]
It is an interesting pattern.
121
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:30,266
So I think it is worth us
dividing and conquering.
122
00:05:30,266 --> 00:05:31,967
Let's reach back out
to some of the witnesses,
123
00:05:31,967 --> 00:05:34,467
see if they can meet us
at these locations.
124
00:05:34,467 --> 00:05:36,100
You know, I always wanted
to do musical theater,
125
00:05:36,100 --> 00:05:37,700
so maybe
I'll start at the theater.
126
00:05:37,967 --> 00:05:38,767
That's perfect.
127
00:05:38,767 --> 00:05:41,166
I always wanted
to go grab a beer.
128
00:05:41,166 --> 00:05:43,500
I will start at
Moon River Brewing Company.
129
00:05:43,967 --> 00:05:45,000
Let's keep in touch.
130
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:46,500
-Stay on walkie.
-You got it.
131
00:05:46,500 --> 00:05:47,934
Let's go.
132
00:05:51,767 --> 00:05:54,100
[Phil] While I'm not sold
on Heather's ley line theory,
133
00:05:54,100 --> 00:05:56,700
it's definitely notable that
most of the stories we heard
134
00:05:56,700 --> 00:06:00,200
involve locations in
Savannah's historic downtown.
135
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:03,500
I reached back out to one of
our town hall witnesses, Cat,
136
00:06:03,500 --> 00:06:04,433
and arranged to meet her
137
00:06:04,433 --> 00:06:07,300
in front of downtown's
Savannah Theatre.
138
00:06:07,567 --> 00:06:08,767
-Hi, Cat.
-Hey.
139
00:06:08,767 --> 00:06:10,567
-Good to see you.
-Good to see ya.
140
00:06:10,567 --> 00:06:12,266
So this is
the Savannah Theatre.
141
00:06:12,266 --> 00:06:13,667
This is the historic
Savannah Theatre.
142
00:06:13,667 --> 00:06:15,600
-[Phil] Should we head in?
-Let's go.
143
00:06:16,467 --> 00:06:18,100
[Phil]
Cat Galagan is a tour guide
144
00:06:18,100 --> 00:06:21,166
who has traced the Savannah
Theatre's paranormal history
145
00:06:21,166 --> 00:06:22,967
to its earliest days.
146
00:06:22,967 --> 00:06:24,500
I'm hoping she can
shed some light
147
00:06:24,500 --> 00:06:27,767
on why it's considered one of
the most haunted locations
148
00:06:27,767 --> 00:06:29,166
in all of Savannah.
149
00:06:29,166 --> 00:06:30,967
Wow, there's the stage.
150
00:06:30,967 --> 00:06:31,967
[Cat] Gorgeous, right?
151
00:06:31,967 --> 00:06:33,166
[Phil] Yeah.
152
00:06:33,166 --> 00:06:35,266
[Cat] Now this is the oldest
continuously operating theater
153
00:06:35,266 --> 00:06:36,700
in the United States.
154
00:06:37,100 --> 00:06:38,834
Originally built in 1818.
155
00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:40,300
[Phil] Wow.
156
00:06:41,300 --> 00:06:43,233
This is amazing.
157
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:45,133
A beautiful theater.
158
00:06:45,133 --> 00:06:48,200
So, obviously, there's a lot
of history to this place.
159
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:50,166
But what about
these stories of hauntings
160
00:06:50,166 --> 00:06:51,300
and strange occurrences?
161
00:06:51,300 --> 00:06:52,667
Is that a modern thing,
162
00:06:52,667 --> 00:06:53,967
or is there a history
to that, too?
163
00:06:53,967 --> 00:06:57,000
The hauntings basically
date back from
when the building opened.
164
00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:00,066
We actually have newspaper
articles dating back to 1895
165
00:07:00,066 --> 00:07:01,867
talking about
disembodied voices.
166
00:07:01,867 --> 00:07:03,767
Even people running from
the building screaming.
167
00:07:03,767 --> 00:07:06,100
[Phil] Wow.
So that's well over 100 years
168
00:07:06,100 --> 00:07:08,166
of documented
potential hauntings here.
169
00:07:08,166 --> 00:07:10,467
-Yes.
-What happens these days
when people come in?
170
00:07:10,467 --> 00:07:12,900
What is it that--
that people encounter?
171
00:07:12,900 --> 00:07:16,200
I've had people nightly
get touched, hair pulled.
172
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:18,233
We've had shadow figures
throughout the whole building.
173
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:21,700
Do you want to see something
that we've actually caught?
174
00:07:22,100 --> 00:07:23,567
Yes, I do.
175
00:07:24,567 --> 00:07:26,767
So this is the camera
basically right here
at the stage,
176
00:07:26,767 --> 00:07:28,567
giving you a view up
into the balcony
177
00:07:28,567 --> 00:07:31,066
all the way to that
emergency exit door up there.
178
00:07:31,066 --> 00:07:33,500
-Gotcha.
-We're going to watch
that closed door.
179
00:07:35,667 --> 00:07:36,834
[Phil] Whoa!
180
00:07:37,367 --> 00:07:38,700
Are you kidding me?
181
00:07:39,667 --> 00:07:42,367
It looks like something
is coming through that door.
182
00:07:42,367 --> 00:07:43,867
[Cat] Yes.
183
00:07:43,867 --> 00:07:45,667
That looks like a person,
184
00:07:45,667 --> 00:07:47,367
-but it's transparent.
-Right?
185
00:07:47,367 --> 00:07:48,567
[Phil]
And then it just disappears.
186
00:07:48,567 --> 00:07:49,934
[Cat] It disappears.
187
00:07:49,934 --> 00:07:51,567
[Phil] You knew where
everybody in the building was
at that time?
188
00:07:51,567 --> 00:07:53,266
Yes, we were cleaning up
that night.
189
00:07:53,266 --> 00:07:54,700
'Cause there was only
two people in the building.
190
00:07:54,700 --> 00:07:55,667
Was anybody up there?
191
00:07:55,667 --> 00:07:56,700
No.
192
00:07:56,700 --> 00:07:58,967
One was actually coming down
to grab the camera.
193
00:07:58,967 --> 00:08:01,000
The other was putting
everything away in the lobby.
194
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:02,567
So no one actually
saw this happen.
195
00:08:02,567 --> 00:08:04,600
It wasn't until the footage
was reviewed the next day.
196
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:05,367
Yes.
197
00:08:05,367 --> 00:08:06,500
That is wild.
198
00:08:06,500 --> 00:08:08,300
-If we're looking at it
from down here...
-[Cat] Yep.
199
00:08:08,300 --> 00:08:10,166
...that is the door,
200
00:08:10,166 --> 00:08:12,467
and it just comes
right out from there.
201
00:08:12,467 --> 00:08:13,900
[Cat] Yep.
202
00:08:13,900 --> 00:08:16,000
[Phil] For me.
I can never look at a video
of a shadow figure like this
203
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:19,000
without at least trying
to recreate it.
204
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:20,100
-Definitely.
-Okay.
205
00:08:20,100 --> 00:08:21,767
So I'm gonna
get a camera set up here.
206
00:08:21,767 --> 00:08:22,700
Of course.
207
00:08:27,300 --> 00:08:28,367
-Micah.
-Hey, Heather.
208
00:08:28,367 --> 00:08:29,500
-How are you?
-Great.
209
00:08:29,500 --> 00:08:32,000
-Great to see you again.
-Good to see you again
as well.
210
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:33,467
[Heather] Micah Watkins
is a tour guide
211
00:08:33,467 --> 00:08:35,166
at Moon River Brewing Company.
212
00:08:35,166 --> 00:08:36,700
He claims some of
the bar's patrons
213
00:08:36,700 --> 00:08:39,000
are much more spirited
than others.
214
00:08:40,367 --> 00:08:41,767
Do you want to take
a walk through history?
215
00:08:41,767 --> 00:08:43,300
I would love to.
Please lead the way.
216
00:08:43,300 --> 00:08:44,667
Let's go.
217
00:08:44,667 --> 00:08:47,166
Micah takes me
to Moon River's fourth floor,
218
00:08:47,166 --> 00:08:49,667
considered the most
active spot in the brewery.
219
00:08:49,667 --> 00:08:51,567
Judging by the paint
peeling off the walls,
220
00:08:51,567 --> 00:08:53,233
it's also the creepiest.
221
00:08:53,867 --> 00:08:55,934
Wow, this is a huge room.
222
00:08:56,967 --> 00:08:59,567
It definitely does not feel
like we're in a bar anymore.
223
00:08:59,567 --> 00:09:01,166
[Micah] No, definitely not.
224
00:09:01,166 --> 00:09:03,000
[Heather] What was this space?
225
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:04,100
Was this an attic?
226
00:09:04,100 --> 00:09:06,200
So this was actually built
in 1821,
227
00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:08,266
and it was named
the City Hotel.
228
00:09:08,266 --> 00:09:10,700
So there would have been
hotel rooms up here.
229
00:09:11,667 --> 00:09:13,467
What kind of activity
have you had up here?
230
00:09:13,467 --> 00:09:15,166
We've had
shadow person activity,
231
00:09:15,166 --> 00:09:18,467
things moving,
things being thrown.
232
00:09:18,467 --> 00:09:21,667
We actually just found out
last week maybe why.
233
00:09:21,667 --> 00:09:22,867
-Really?
-Yeah.
234
00:09:22,867 --> 00:09:24,567
We just found
a newspaper article
235
00:09:24,567 --> 00:09:26,700
about a man named
William Sartelle
236
00:09:26,700 --> 00:09:28,700
that comes up here
and rents a room.
237
00:09:28,700 --> 00:09:31,500
He actually plunged a knife
into his own throat,
238
00:09:31,767 --> 00:09:33,367
killing himself.
239
00:09:33,367 --> 00:09:35,700
-In this very room.
-In this very room.
240
00:09:35,700 --> 00:09:38,100
We haven't even investigated
with the name yet.
241
00:09:38,100 --> 00:09:40,367
So this is research
that we can use tonight
242
00:09:40,367 --> 00:09:41,467
in our investigation?
243
00:09:41,467 --> 00:09:42,533
Absolutely.
244
00:09:43,166 --> 00:09:44,166
[Heather] Let's get started.
245
00:09:44,166 --> 00:09:45,367
With a promising new lead
246
00:09:45,367 --> 00:09:47,467
on why Moon River
could be so haunted,
247
00:09:47,467 --> 00:09:48,333
Micah and I get to work
248
00:09:48,333 --> 00:09:50,200
attempting to
establish communication
249
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:52,400
with William Sartelle.
250
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:54,367
I place a REM pod
at the top of the stairs...
251
00:09:54,367 --> 00:09:56,000
I gotta put
a REM pod right there.
252
00:09:58,000 --> 00:09:59,967
...where Micah says
disembodied noises
253
00:09:59,967 --> 00:10:02,734
and shadow figures are
often reported.
254
00:10:03,367 --> 00:10:05,100
And I pull out the Ovilus.
255
00:10:05,100 --> 00:10:06,467
If William is present,
256
00:10:06,467 --> 00:10:08,500
perhaps he'll use it
to respond.
257
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:11,233
Gonna turn on my Ovilus.
258
00:10:18,367 --> 00:10:19,500
My name is Heather.
259
00:10:19,867 --> 00:10:20,934
My name is Micah.
260
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:24,767
If there's anyone
here with us...
261
00:10:24,767 --> 00:10:28,100
please feel free to use
this device in my hand
to communicate.
262
00:10:30,567 --> 00:10:32,200
Is there a William here?
263
00:10:35,867 --> 00:10:37,667
[footsteps]
264
00:10:37,667 --> 00:10:38,734
Did you hear that?
265
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:41,433
[Micah]
That was on the staircase.
266
00:10:42,567 --> 00:10:44,000
That was footsteps
on the staircase.
267
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:46,000
[footsteps resume]
268
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:49,200
[Heather]
There's no one there.
269
00:10:57,767 --> 00:10:59,667
[Heather] It sounded like
someone coming up the stairs.
270
00:10:59,667 --> 00:11:01,100
[Micah] Yeah.
271
00:11:01,100 --> 00:11:02,533
[Heather]
William, is that you?
272
00:11:05,300 --> 00:11:06,700
You can use our REM pod,
273
00:11:08,066 --> 00:11:09,233
and we'll know it's you.
274
00:11:15,166 --> 00:11:17,300
[REM pod beeping]
275
00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:27,133
[Heather] Okay.
276
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:30,400
My name is Heather.
277
00:11:31,266 --> 00:11:32,567
Again,
you can tell us your name
278
00:11:32,567 --> 00:11:33,734
through this Ovilus.
279
00:11:33,734 --> 00:11:36,500
Or you can continue
to communicate
through the REM pod.
280
00:11:38,900 --> 00:11:40,300
We're not gonna
disturb anything.
281
00:11:40,300 --> 00:11:41,900
We just want to
communicate with you.
282
00:11:43,166 --> 00:11:44,000
[voice on device]
283
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:45,567
"Bill." Bill.
284
00:11:45,567 --> 00:11:47,300
-Bill! William!
-Bill. William!
285
00:11:49,367 --> 00:11:51,200
William, do you prefer
to go by, Bill?
286
00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:52,834
We can call you Bill
from now on.
287
00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:59,867
Bill probably hasn't heard
his name called
288
00:11:59,867 --> 00:12:01,767
in over 100 years.
289
00:12:01,767 --> 00:12:02,900
Yeah.
290
00:12:05,166 --> 00:12:07,100
[REM pod beeping]
291
00:12:14,767 --> 00:12:16,600
[Phil] I set up a camera
on the theater's stage
292
00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:19,600
to match the angle seen
in the shadow figure video.
293
00:12:20,166 --> 00:12:22,400
All right.
I'm gonna press record.
294
00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:24,967
Then Cat and I
head up to the balcony.
295
00:12:24,967 --> 00:12:27,066
I want to see if
I can debunk that footage
296
00:12:27,066 --> 00:12:30,233
by creating a similar shadow
with my flashlight.
297
00:12:31,867 --> 00:12:33,367
So here's the door.
298
00:12:33,367 --> 00:12:34,467
Can you pull up
the video one more time?
299
00:12:34,467 --> 00:12:35,834
Of course.
300
00:12:36,667 --> 00:12:38,767
[Phil] I'm most curious
about the height of the shadow
301
00:12:38,767 --> 00:12:40,233
from where we are.
302
00:12:40,967 --> 00:12:42,166
Its height is here.
303
00:12:42,166 --> 00:12:44,066
-Yeah.
-Very short.
304
00:12:44,066 --> 00:12:46,033
It's almost like
if it were a person,
305
00:12:46,467 --> 00:12:47,767
they stood up here,
306
00:12:47,767 --> 00:12:49,667
stayed low
to stay out of sight,
307
00:12:49,667 --> 00:12:51,467
and then the light cuts out.
308
00:12:51,467 --> 00:12:52,800
[Cat] The light cuts out.
309
00:12:53,667 --> 00:12:56,100
All right. Let me try
one thing real fast
310
00:12:56,100 --> 00:12:58,467
with just my light
and a shadow.
311
00:12:58,467 --> 00:12:59,900
So...
312
00:12:59,900 --> 00:13:04,233
can I create a shadow
that starts there,
313
00:13:04,967 --> 00:13:06,600
works its way across.
314
00:13:08,166 --> 00:13:10,266
Now, there's no chance
that you guys would have left
315
00:13:10,266 --> 00:13:12,100
some kind of flashlight
up here or anything.
316
00:13:12,100 --> 00:13:13,567
Nope. Once this door's closed,
317
00:13:13,567 --> 00:13:15,300
that signaled everything
up here is cleaned out,
318
00:13:15,300 --> 00:13:17,467
and no one returns
back up here for any reason.
319
00:13:17,467 --> 00:13:19,200
No chance someone
did sneak in?
320
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:21,900
Nope. You can't open
the door from the outside.
321
00:13:21,900 --> 00:13:24,800
I am at a bit of a loss here.
322
00:13:25,700 --> 00:13:27,066
It's definitely one
that gives people chills
323
00:13:27,066 --> 00:13:28,600
-when they see it.
-Yeah.
324
00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:30,800
[Phil]
So what is your theory?
325
00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:32,066
Who do you think
this might be?
326
00:13:32,066 --> 00:13:34,800
So in 1948, there was a fire
inside the building.
327
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:36,367
It started up
in the projection room,
328
00:13:36,367 --> 00:13:37,900
and that caused an evacuation.
329
00:13:38,300 --> 00:13:39,567
That caused panic
330
00:13:39,567 --> 00:13:41,467
and which
turned into a stampede.
331
00:13:41,467 --> 00:13:44,500
A little boy named Ben
got trampled to death
in that stampede.
332
00:13:44,500 --> 00:13:46,467
-Hmm.
-And his body was found
in the dressing room
333
00:13:46,467 --> 00:13:48,400
after the balcony collapsed.
334
00:13:49,066 --> 00:13:50,300
Straight below us.
335
00:13:50,900 --> 00:13:52,333
Wow. How old?
336
00:13:52,700 --> 00:13:54,367
-Eight.
-Eight.
337
00:13:54,367 --> 00:13:57,233
I hate to say it,
but 8-year-olds are
about this tall.
338
00:14:00,100 --> 00:14:01,300
Well, I'm not giving up yet.
339
00:14:01,300 --> 00:14:03,000
Let's leave
that camera running because
340
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:05,000
I want to review the footage
of what we just did.
341
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:06,967
-[Cat] Yeah.
-Maybe we'll get a good
compelling shadow
342
00:14:06,967 --> 00:14:08,166
up here of our own.
343
00:14:08,166 --> 00:14:09,567
But before I leave,
344
00:14:09,567 --> 00:14:12,200
I want to do one last
walk-through downstairs.
345
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:14,166
We'll see if I can't cast
any strange shadows
346
00:14:14,166 --> 00:14:15,567
from a lower angle.
347
00:14:15,567 --> 00:14:16,767
Maybe I'll get lucky.
348
00:14:16,767 --> 00:14:17,667
All righty.
349
00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:26,700
Bill, do you want
your story to be told?
350
00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:31,867
[device beeping]
351
00:14:31,867 --> 00:14:33,600
[Micah] There it is.
There's your answer.
352
00:14:34,066 --> 00:14:35,433
[Heather] Oh, my God.
353
00:14:35,867 --> 00:14:36,767
[voice on device]
354
00:14:36,767 --> 00:14:38,133
"Weeps."
355
00:14:39,100 --> 00:14:40,300
Bill.
356
00:14:41,266 --> 00:14:42,600
Are you weeping?
357
00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:45,100
What happened to you?
358
00:14:47,467 --> 00:14:49,333
Did you stay in this hotel?
359
00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:55,333
Is anyone still here with us?
360
00:15:00,166 --> 00:15:02,100
I feel like
the activity's died off.
361
00:15:02,100 --> 00:15:03,900
[Micah] Yep. But whoever
that was earlier,
362
00:15:03,900 --> 00:15:05,166
they reacted to us.
363
00:15:05,166 --> 00:15:05,967
Yeah.
364
00:15:05,967 --> 00:15:07,467
We got Bill,
365
00:15:07,467 --> 00:15:08,867
footsteps coming up,
366
00:15:08,867 --> 00:15:10,266
Ovilus activity,
367
00:15:10,266 --> 00:15:12,166
and REM pod activity.
368
00:15:12,166 --> 00:15:15,200
With Moon River living up
to its haunted reputation,
369
00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:17,767
I'm eager to investigate the
next hot spot we heard about,
370
00:15:17,767 --> 00:15:19,100
Wright Square,
371
00:15:19,100 --> 00:15:20,967
where Alice Riley
became the first woman
372
00:15:20,967 --> 00:15:23,200
in the state of Georgia
to be executed.
373
00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:24,300
Hung for murder.
374
00:15:25,567 --> 00:15:28,000
Before I leave, Micah gives me
a piece of evidence
375
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:29,667
to aid our investigation,
376
00:15:29,667 --> 00:15:32,567
a video he took on
the anniversary
of Alice Riley's death
377
00:15:32,567 --> 00:15:35,500
that he believes proves
she still haunts the square.
378
00:15:35,500 --> 00:15:37,166
[Micah] A thermal picture
that actually shows
379
00:15:37,166 --> 00:15:38,900
somebody walking
by the camera.
380
00:15:39,667 --> 00:15:41,100
What?
381
00:15:41,100 --> 00:15:42,667
With Micah's evidence in hand,
382
00:15:42,667 --> 00:15:45,266
I radio Phil to meet me
at Wright Square.
383
00:15:45,266 --> 00:15:47,000
-Hey.
-Hey. Wright square.
384
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:48,000
What's up?
385
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:49,233
I've got something
to show you.
386
00:15:51,367 --> 00:15:52,767
This video was taken
on the anniversary
387
00:15:52,767 --> 00:15:54,700
of the day
that Alice Riley died.
388
00:15:54,700 --> 00:15:57,600
-Okay.
-This is where the gallows
would have been set up.
389
00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:01,300
Micah believes this
is actually
the spirit of Alice Riley.
390
00:16:03,300 --> 00:16:04,400
That?
391
00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:05,300
I mean, it's all red.
392
00:16:05,300 --> 00:16:06,400
It's a solid color.
393
00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:08,066
It's weird.
394
00:16:08,066 --> 00:16:10,700
It is a little unusual
that the color is all solid.
395
00:16:10,700 --> 00:16:13,266
You would expect to see
a lot more contrast.
396
00:16:13,266 --> 00:16:15,166
But also,
depending on the calibration,
397
00:16:15,166 --> 00:16:18,166
occasionally,
you can get video like that.
398
00:16:18,166 --> 00:16:20,166
Actually,
let me look at that tree.
399
00:16:20,166 --> 00:16:23,100
I think I saw that tree
when I walked in here.
400
00:16:23,100 --> 00:16:25,667
How about this?
I have the FLIR in my bag.
401
00:16:25,667 --> 00:16:27,667
Let's go to
that exact same spot.
402
00:16:27,667 --> 00:16:30,367
I'm gonna have you
walk behind that tree
403
00:16:30,367 --> 00:16:32,000
and see if
we can't recreate this.
404
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:34,266
Okay, I'm always game
for an experiment.
405
00:16:34,266 --> 00:16:35,400
Okay, let's go.
406
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:42,100
I think it was this tree
right over here.
407
00:16:42,100 --> 00:16:47,467
-Yeah.
-So that means
this would be the gallows.
408
00:16:47,467 --> 00:16:50,100
This is where Alice Riley
would have been hung.
409
00:16:50,100 --> 00:16:52,033
Oh, you know what
I see back here, Heather?
410
00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:54,133
-Look at this.
-Oh.
411
00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:56,133
There's a path.
412
00:16:56,133 --> 00:16:58,900
-Yeah, I see it, I see it.
-Which means, in that video,
413
00:16:58,900 --> 00:17:01,700
maybe someone was walking
on the other side of that.
414
00:17:02,300 --> 00:17:03,834
All right,
let me get the FLIR out.
415
00:17:09,667 --> 00:17:11,233
Same orientation.
416
00:17:16,467 --> 00:17:17,867
Go for it.
417
00:17:22,367 --> 00:17:25,400
-How do I look?
-You pretty clearly look
like a person.
418
00:17:25,967 --> 00:17:27,300
Come here. I'll show you.
419
00:17:29,100 --> 00:17:30,000
Okay, let's see.
420
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:31,467
So here's the deal.
421
00:17:31,467 --> 00:17:34,667
Our FLIR is essentially
a professional
military-grade FLIR,
422
00:17:34,667 --> 00:17:38,166
so it has a lot more contrast
than I'm guessing his does.
423
00:17:38,166 --> 00:17:42,200
See how there's only roughly
three different color tones
in that entire thing?
424
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:43,900
You don't see
a lot of variation.
425
00:17:43,900 --> 00:17:46,667
In this one,
I've got similar color tones.
426
00:17:46,667 --> 00:17:48,166
-Okay.
-But, when you walk,
427
00:17:48,166 --> 00:17:50,000
you could see
a lot more contrast.
428
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:51,367
You could see
that your face is hotter.
429
00:17:51,367 --> 00:17:53,166
But my assumption is,
for his camera
430
00:17:53,166 --> 00:17:55,867
and that quality
of thermal imaging,
431
00:17:55,867 --> 00:17:57,700
it's probably
not that strange.
432
00:17:57,700 --> 00:18:00,667
But we didn't totally
debunk it.
433
00:18:00,667 --> 00:18:03,800
Micah believes that no one
was walking over there
at the time.
434
00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:05,467
If he didn't see
a person walk by there,
435
00:18:05,467 --> 00:18:06,867
but only the FLIR
picked it up,
436
00:18:06,867 --> 00:18:08,467
that would be unusual.
437
00:18:08,467 --> 00:18:12,567
So how about I set my FLIR up
on a tripod in the same spot,
438
00:18:12,567 --> 00:18:14,166
and we'll see who shows up?
439
00:18:14,166 --> 00:18:15,800
While you're doing
your experiment,
440
00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:18,300
I'm gonna do my own
and bring out the spirit box.
441
00:18:18,300 --> 00:18:19,400
Okay.
442
00:18:33,967 --> 00:18:35,100
My name is Heather.
443
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:38,333
Is anyone there?
444
00:18:40,500 --> 00:18:43,800
You can use this spirit box
to communicate with me.
445
00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:47,500
-[voice on device]
-Hello!
446
00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:50,233
Who is there?
447
00:18:53,100 --> 00:18:54,300
Are you trapped here?
448
00:18:56,667 --> 00:18:58,967
-[voice on device]
-"Dead."
449
00:18:58,967 --> 00:19:00,166
I just got "dead."
450
00:19:01,767 --> 00:19:03,834
Is this the place
that you died?
451
00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:07,900
Can anyone show
themselves right now?
452
00:19:09,567 --> 00:19:10,266
[voice on device]
453
00:19:10,266 --> 00:19:12,000
-Alice!
-Alice.
454
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:13,133
Yes.
455
00:19:14,700 --> 00:19:17,400
Alice,
do you still walk this square?
456
00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:22,900
Can you show yourself
right now?
457
00:19:24,900 --> 00:19:26,166
All you have to do
is just walk
458
00:19:26,166 --> 00:19:27,600
right behind the tree.
459
00:19:31,500 --> 00:19:33,400
Okay. What the [bleep]
was that?
460
00:19:34,100 --> 00:19:35,233
Oh, my God.
461
00:19:38,767 --> 00:19:39,667
Heather.
462
00:19:39,667 --> 00:19:41,166
You got something?
463
00:19:41,166 --> 00:19:42,500
There's no one over there
right now, right?
464
00:19:42,667 --> 00:19:43,667
No.
465
00:19:43,667 --> 00:19:45,600
-You are sure?
-I'm positive.
466
00:19:47,567 --> 00:19:49,100
Look at this right here.
467
00:19:50,367 --> 00:19:52,300
-That.
-What?
468
00:19:55,667 --> 00:19:58,000
Oh, my God. What is that?
469
00:19:58,000 --> 00:19:59,266
I don't know.
470
00:19:59,266 --> 00:20:01,367
If you asked me to
recreate that right now,
471
00:20:01,367 --> 00:20:02,367
I could not.
472
00:20:02,367 --> 00:20:03,667
That looks like a spirit.
473
00:20:03,667 --> 00:20:04,767
I mean, there's no legs.
474
00:20:04,767 --> 00:20:06,467
It's a solid color.
475
00:20:06,467 --> 00:20:08,700
I just have to make sure
there's no one over there,
476
00:20:08,700 --> 00:20:11,433
because that
is too [bleep] crazy.
477
00:20:13,066 --> 00:20:14,600
So, yeah,
it would be right here.
478
00:20:17,667 --> 00:20:18,767
I don't know
what to make of that.
479
00:20:18,767 --> 00:20:20,000
Is there anything back there?
480
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:21,567
Absolutely nothing back there.
481
00:20:21,567 --> 00:20:23,200
There's no one there.
482
00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:24,934
I mean, listen,
I've used this FLIR
483
00:20:26,367 --> 00:20:27,567
probably well over 100 times.
484
00:20:27,567 --> 00:20:29,400
And you have never seen
anything like that?
485
00:20:30,266 --> 00:20:31,400
Never.
486
00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:34,000
[Heather] You got that after
I heard the name Alice.
487
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:36,834
And I was asking for her
to show herself.
488
00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:41,266
So, listen, we're not
the only ones out here.
489
00:20:41,266 --> 00:20:43,300
I've seen a couple of people
on bicycles
490
00:20:43,300 --> 00:20:45,800
go by on that path out there.
491
00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:47,233
And they've shown up
on the FLIR.
492
00:20:47,367 --> 00:20:49,000
Okay?
493
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:50,567
Were they legless?
494
00:20:50,567 --> 00:20:52,800
No, but... I don't know.
495
00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:55,166
I don't. I don't.
496
00:20:55,166 --> 00:20:57,033
This is what people
say happens here.
497
00:20:58,066 --> 00:20:59,667
I still don't
want to believe it,
498
00:20:59,667 --> 00:21:01,667
but I also...
499
00:21:01,667 --> 00:21:03,834
don't really know
what to make of that.
500
00:21:07,166 --> 00:21:09,100
[Heather]
I think we have some more
digging to do in the morning.
501
00:21:09,367 --> 00:21:10,834
[Phil] I agree.
502
00:21:12,567 --> 00:21:14,767
[Heather]
With so much evidence of
paranormal activity
503
00:21:14,767 --> 00:21:16,567
in Savannah already secured,
504
00:21:16,567 --> 00:21:18,367
we decided to broaden
our investigation
505
00:21:18,367 --> 00:21:20,000
beyond the city limits.
506
00:21:20,767 --> 00:21:22,400
We turn our focus
towards the swamps
507
00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:24,600
of nearby Ebenezer Creek,
508
00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:27,133
where we heard multiple
accounts of strange activity.
509
00:21:28,467 --> 00:21:31,400
Phil stays in Savannah
to learn more
about the creek's history
510
00:21:32,166 --> 00:21:34,000
while I venture out
to the water's edge
511
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:35,667
to hear a firsthand account
512
00:21:35,667 --> 00:21:38,367
of the area's
paranormal activity.
513
00:21:38,367 --> 00:21:40,800
-Wendy,
good to see you again.
-Hi.
514
00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:41,767
Good to see you again.
515
00:21:41,767 --> 00:21:43,400
Thanks for having me out.
516
00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:46,166
Wendy Higgins' family has
owned land on Ebenezer Creek
517
00:21:46,166 --> 00:21:48,567
for over 100 years.
518
00:21:48,567 --> 00:21:50,800
She recently moved
onto the family property
519
00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:53,100
and began witnessing activity
near the creek
520
00:21:53,100 --> 00:21:55,367
that she can't explain.
521
00:21:55,367 --> 00:21:57,266
There's a couple of things
I've seen.
522
00:21:57,266 --> 00:22:00,367
That field in that direction,
for the whole property,
523
00:22:00,367 --> 00:22:02,867
I think that the backside,
right there,
524
00:22:02,867 --> 00:22:05,400
is probably the weirdest.
525
00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:07,100
[Heather]
What activities have you seen?
526
00:22:07,100 --> 00:22:09,467
My husband called me outside
and said
527
00:22:09,467 --> 00:22:11,667
that he saw something
in the driveway.
528
00:22:11,667 --> 00:22:12,900
So when I walked out,
529
00:22:12,900 --> 00:22:17,600
I could see like
a tall-shaped dust figure.
530
00:22:18,300 --> 00:22:20,166
It was just moving real slow
531
00:22:20,166 --> 00:22:23,467
across the field
and towards the wood line.
532
00:22:23,467 --> 00:22:25,367
We watched it
for like 10 minutes.
533
00:22:25,367 --> 00:22:26,867
And when it got to the trees,
534
00:22:26,867 --> 00:22:28,100
you just couldn't
see it anymore.
535
00:22:28,467 --> 00:22:29,600
That's creepy.
536
00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:34,467
[Phil] Sister Patt.
537
00:22:34,467 --> 00:22:35,867
Hi, Phil. How are you?
538
00:22:35,867 --> 00:22:36,967
I'm very good.
539
00:22:36,967 --> 00:22:38,166
-Very nice to see you.
-Welcome.
540
00:22:38,166 --> 00:22:39,600
-Thank you.
-Nice to see you.
541
00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:42,100
[Phil] Sister Patt Gunn
is a local historian
542
00:22:42,100 --> 00:22:45,000
and descendant of
Savannah's enslaved people.
543
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:48,100
She has made it her mission
to chronicle and publicize
544
00:22:48,100 --> 00:22:51,900
the horrific history
of the Savannah slave trade.
545
00:22:51,900 --> 00:22:56,266
How important was Savannah
to the slave trade in the US?
546
00:22:56,266 --> 00:22:58,100
Essential.
547
00:22:58,100 --> 00:23:03,266
Auctions three times a month
for 116 years.
548
00:23:03,266 --> 00:23:06,900
That's over 4,100,
plus slave sales.
549
00:23:06,900 --> 00:23:09,433
So, yes,
this is a very dark city.
550
00:23:09,767 --> 00:23:11,700
So what was life like
551
00:23:11,700 --> 00:23:13,467
for the enslaved people
of Savannah?
552
00:23:13,467 --> 00:23:16,367
There were laws in Savannah
553
00:23:16,367 --> 00:23:21,567
that forbid planters from
being kind to their enslaved
554
00:23:21,567 --> 00:23:24,567
because of the fear of
others seeing the kindness.
555
00:23:24,567 --> 00:23:27,166
-It was illegal
to be kind to slaves?
-It was illegal
556
00:23:27,166 --> 00:23:28,667
in a public setting.
557
00:23:28,667 --> 00:23:33,000
There were whipping stations
all over downtown
558
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:35,600
for the enslaved to be beaten.
559
00:23:36,667 --> 00:23:40,266
The children were placed
at the feet of the owners
560
00:23:40,266 --> 00:23:44,767
as bed warmers in the winter
to keep their bodies warm.
561
00:23:44,767 --> 00:23:47,567
The treatment
was unimaginable.
562
00:23:47,567 --> 00:23:51,300
-Hmm.
-And until
we have conversations
563
00:23:51,300 --> 00:23:53,567
to talk about
what happened here,
564
00:23:53,567 --> 00:23:55,166
then we're going to
have darkness
565
00:23:55,166 --> 00:23:58,600
and we're going to have
spirits that are angry.
566
00:24:02,166 --> 00:24:03,400
That's Ebenezer Creek.
567
00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:04,367
Mmm-hmm.
568
00:24:04,367 --> 00:24:05,767
Is there any other experiences
569
00:24:05,767 --> 00:24:08,200
that you've had around
the water or down here?
570
00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:11,667
If I tell you what I saw,
you're gonna think I'm crazy.
571
00:24:11,667 --> 00:24:13,266
What did you see?
572
00:24:13,266 --> 00:24:15,367
[Wendy] I was walking
where the water is here.
573
00:24:15,367 --> 00:24:17,266
I heard the leaves rustling.
574
00:24:17,266 --> 00:24:19,800
I heard, like a high-pitched
whistling noise,
575
00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:23,000
like air being pushed through
real small space real fast.
576
00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:23,934
And I turned around
and looked.
577
00:24:23,934 --> 00:24:26,233
And what I saw,
whatever it was, was awful.
578
00:24:27,266 --> 00:24:29,700
It was just a white shape.
579
00:24:29,700 --> 00:24:32,900
It was pale-colored, like
what a dead person looks like
580
00:24:32,900 --> 00:24:34,367
when they turn
that bluish color.
581
00:24:34,367 --> 00:24:37,066
It was that kind of
shade of pale.
582
00:24:37,066 --> 00:24:39,567
It didn't have
any features in its face.
583
00:24:39,567 --> 00:24:42,066
There was like indentions,
but no eyeballs.
584
00:24:42,066 --> 00:24:43,767
You couldn't see anything.
585
00:24:43,767 --> 00:24:46,700
But you could see like a head
shaped like a person.
586
00:24:47,567 --> 00:24:48,667
How big was it?
587
00:24:48,667 --> 00:24:50,000
Human size.
588
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:51,300
Was it moving at all?
589
00:24:51,300 --> 00:24:54,667
It was coming up
with its arms like that,
590
00:24:54,667 --> 00:24:56,734
like it was something
trying to army crawl.
591
00:24:57,400 --> 00:24:59,300
[Heather]
Was it going towards you?
592
00:24:59,300 --> 00:25:01,667
-Mmm-hmm.
-That's terrifying.
593
00:25:01,667 --> 00:25:04,100
That's the fastest
I ever ran in my life.
594
00:25:04,100 --> 00:25:06,367
And when I turned around,
I didn't see anything.
595
00:25:06,367 --> 00:25:07,567
There was nothing there.
596
00:25:07,567 --> 00:25:09,667
Do you think maybe
that thing
597
00:25:09,667 --> 00:25:11,567
could have made
the whistling sound?
598
00:25:11,567 --> 00:25:13,467
Anything's possible.
599
00:25:13,467 --> 00:25:15,300
I don't know what that was.
600
00:25:17,367 --> 00:25:20,000
We've heard
about Ebenezer Creek.
601
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:21,567
What can you tell us about it?
602
00:25:21,567 --> 00:25:24,500
Ebenezer Creek is
a sacred place in space
603
00:25:24,500 --> 00:25:27,100
because of the atrocity
and the horror
604
00:25:27,100 --> 00:25:29,166
of the drownings
that occurred there
605
00:25:29,166 --> 00:25:30,867
during the Civil War.
606
00:25:30,867 --> 00:25:34,400
The eve before
freedom came in Savannah,
607
00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:37,467
word got out
that the Union soldiers
608
00:25:37,467 --> 00:25:40,000
were coming to free
these enslaved people
609
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:42,867
in Sherman's
famous March to the Sea.
610
00:25:42,867 --> 00:25:47,066
The records show
that there were approximately
2,500 freed slaves
611
00:25:47,066 --> 00:25:49,266
following those generals.
612
00:25:49,266 --> 00:25:52,567
And some of the generals
did not want them to follow
613
00:25:52,567 --> 00:25:55,066
because they felt
they would slow them down...
614
00:25:55,066 --> 00:25:57,100
-Hmm.
-...in arriving to Savannah.
615
00:25:57,100 --> 00:26:00,567
Ebenezer Creek
runs directly into Savannah.
616
00:26:00,567 --> 00:26:02,367
On the other side
of that river
617
00:26:02,367 --> 00:26:05,567
is the Confederate soldiers
that are shooting.
618
00:26:05,567 --> 00:26:08,066
There was a pontoon bridge.
619
00:26:08,066 --> 00:26:10,166
The general was
at the end of that trek,
620
00:26:10,166 --> 00:26:12,000
when they got
all of those soldiers out,
621
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:14,767
cut the pontoon bridge's
ropes.
622
00:26:14,767 --> 00:26:17,100
-They cut the ropes.
-They cut the ropes,
623
00:26:17,100 --> 00:26:20,567
so that all that was following
were shot at.
624
00:26:20,567 --> 00:26:21,867
Some were shot and killed,
625
00:26:21,867 --> 00:26:25,500
and others were shot
and drowned in the river.
626
00:26:26,266 --> 00:26:28,767
And they went
from enslaved to free,
627
00:26:28,767 --> 00:26:31,400
and perhaps, they were free
for an hour or two.
628
00:26:31,900 --> 00:26:32,900
And then they drowned.
629
00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:36,600
What kind of numbers
are we talking about here?
630
00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:38,500
I would say about 200 or so.
631
00:26:38,500 --> 00:26:42,700
But no direct number
has been given,
632
00:26:43,166 --> 00:26:44,934
nor any names.
633
00:26:45,266 --> 00:26:46,033
Hmm.
634
00:26:46,033 --> 00:26:49,000
And those souls are
not resting.
635
00:26:50,367 --> 00:26:53,834
Have you experienced anything
unusual at Ebenezer Creek?
636
00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:56,100
That land is troubled.
637
00:26:56,100 --> 00:26:58,266
I went there
and did a libation.
638
00:26:58,266 --> 00:27:00,300
The libation is just water
639
00:27:00,300 --> 00:27:02,200
that you're pouring
into the earth.
640
00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:03,066
And it's paying homage
641
00:27:03,066 --> 00:27:05,667
to those who have
come here before us.
642
00:27:05,667 --> 00:27:08,600
So if you have anyone
beloved in your family,
643
00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:10,767
you call the name of
that ancestor,
644
00:27:10,767 --> 00:27:14,000
and they will come because
you're asking their permission
645
00:27:14,367 --> 00:27:16,000
for their protection.
646
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:18,500
And as I poured
the water into the creek,
647
00:27:18,500 --> 00:27:21,867
the water rippled,
began to kind of talk.
648
00:27:21,867 --> 00:27:24,467
And to my left,
I could see the swiftness
649
00:27:24,467 --> 00:27:27,300
of two or three people
dusting away,
650
00:27:27,300 --> 00:27:29,233
like a poof of dust.
651
00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:32,266
Those are spirits.
652
00:27:32,266 --> 00:27:33,467
So do you believe
that the spirits
653
00:27:33,467 --> 00:27:37,600
are still here and being seen
because they are unsettled?
654
00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:38,700
I do.
655
00:27:38,700 --> 00:27:41,800
I believe it with all my heart
because I've seen it.
656
00:27:46,300 --> 00:27:47,667
[Phil]
Now, knowing the full extent
657
00:27:47,667 --> 00:27:50,066
of the horrors
of Ebenezer Creek,
658
00:27:50,066 --> 00:27:51,800
I'm eager to meet
back up with Heather
659
00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:54,300
and get to work investigating
the strange activity
660
00:27:54,300 --> 00:27:57,166
reported around its waters.
661
00:27:57,166 --> 00:27:59,600
We start on the edge
of Wendy's property,
662
00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:01,367
which Heather tells me
could be the home
663
00:28:01,367 --> 00:28:04,400
of some kind of
otherworldly creature.
664
00:28:05,667 --> 00:28:07,433
So, Heather,
I've been thinking about it,
665
00:28:07,967 --> 00:28:08,734
and I think I agree with you.
666
00:28:08,734 --> 00:28:10,734
Wendy did see
something special.
667
00:28:11,266 --> 00:28:12,333
What'd she see, then?
668
00:28:12,333 --> 00:28:15,967
Well, have you ever heard
of an albino alligator?
669
00:28:15,967 --> 00:28:18,567
-No.
-They're incredibly rare.
670
00:28:18,567 --> 00:28:21,367
We're talking like
maybe one in 100 million.
671
00:28:21,367 --> 00:28:22,367
But they are real.
672
00:28:22,367 --> 00:28:23,100
Think about it.
673
00:28:23,100 --> 00:28:24,900
It's not camouflaged
very well.
674
00:28:24,900 --> 00:28:26,066
It gets attacked.
675
00:28:26,066 --> 00:28:27,200
It gets eaten.
676
00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:29,200
There's a chance
that Wendy saw
677
00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:32,967
this incredibly rare
albino alligator
678
00:28:32,967 --> 00:28:36,000
essentially on its last legs.
679
00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:38,867
Well, that doesn't explain
the whistling Wendy heard.
680
00:28:38,867 --> 00:28:41,567
It sounded like a ton of air
681
00:28:41,567 --> 00:28:43,500
going through
a really small opening.
682
00:28:43,500 --> 00:28:44,767
-It was very loud.
-[branch snaps]
683
00:28:44,767 --> 00:28:46,100
Whoa!
684
00:28:47,667 --> 00:28:49,500
-[rustling]
-[Phil whispering]
Do you hear that?
685
00:28:49,500 --> 00:28:50,800
It sounded like
a branch breaking.
686
00:28:53,767 --> 00:28:55,300
I definitely heard it
in that direction.
687
00:28:56,800 --> 00:28:59,133
[Phil] All right,
let's keep pushing this way.
688
00:29:06,800 --> 00:29:09,133
This forest is awfully still.
689
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:14,734
[strange sweeping noise]
690
00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:17,367
What the [bleep] was that?
691
00:29:17,367 --> 00:29:18,367
It was that way.
It was that way.
692
00:29:18,367 --> 00:29:19,700
Let's go. Let's go.
693
00:29:26,367 --> 00:29:28,133
[Phil] [bleep]
It's getting thick back here.
694
00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:35,667
Whoa, whoa! Water.
695
00:29:35,667 --> 00:29:38,100
This, to me,
looks like a dead end.
696
00:29:38,100 --> 00:29:40,000
I don't see any tracks,
do you?
697
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:42,500
I don't see any tracks.
Have you seen
any movement in the water?
698
00:29:43,166 --> 00:29:45,567
No, the water is smooth
as glass.
699
00:29:45,567 --> 00:29:46,867
[Phil] It does look
very still.
700
00:29:46,867 --> 00:29:49,133
But maybe we just didn't
get here fast enough.
701
00:29:50,367 --> 00:29:52,000
That had to be the noise
that Wendy heard.
702
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:54,066
I mean, it was loud.
703
00:29:54,066 --> 00:29:55,667
It sounded like
a lot of pressure,
704
00:29:55,667 --> 00:29:58,100
and it led us
directly to this creek.
705
00:29:58,100 --> 00:30:00,333
[Phil] This must be
Ebenezer Creek.
706
00:30:01,767 --> 00:30:05,700
I think all these signs
are pointing to us
getting out on that water.
707
00:30:05,700 --> 00:30:07,400
-[Heather] All right.
-[Phil] Let's move.
708
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:13,200
[Heather] With our evidence
pointing us toward
Ebenezer's waters,
709
00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:15,634
we planned an investigation
for the following afternoon.
710
00:30:16,667 --> 00:30:19,066
Grabbing our kayaks
and a couple of maps,
711
00:30:19,066 --> 00:30:21,166
we plot a course
to Ebenezer Crossing,
712
00:30:21,166 --> 00:30:24,433
the site where over
200 enslaved people
were killed.
713
00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:31,166
All right.
You got the maps out, huh?
714
00:30:31,166 --> 00:30:32,100
Ready to go.
715
00:30:32,100 --> 00:30:33,867
[Phil] I see here,
this is the boat launch
716
00:30:33,867 --> 00:30:35,667
right at Ebenezer Creek,
where we are right now.
717
00:30:35,667 --> 00:30:38,000
-[Heather] Uh-huh.
-[Phil] If you keep
following downstream,
718
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:42,000
you get to the Ebenezer
Massacre location right there.
719
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:44,367
And if we keep
going downstream from that,
720
00:30:44,367 --> 00:30:47,166
-Ebenezer Creek turns
into Savannah River.
-Mm-hmm.
721
00:30:47,166 --> 00:30:48,467
Savannah River...
722
00:30:48,467 --> 00:30:52,567
Leads us right to Savannah,
right to the locations
in Savannah.
723
00:30:52,567 --> 00:30:56,066
Some people believe
that water is a conduit
for paranormal energy,
724
00:30:56,066 --> 00:30:58,767
and at the site of such
a horrific massacre,
725
00:30:58,767 --> 00:31:01,100
it has to hold
a lot of energy.
726
00:31:01,100 --> 00:31:05,367
Could it be that
this is a highway
for paranormal energy?
727
00:31:05,367 --> 00:31:09,400
And that is why Savannah
is the most haunted city
in America.
728
00:31:10,100 --> 00:31:11,400
It's a bold theory.
729
00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:14,166
But I think the only thing
left to do is we got
to get paddling.
730
00:31:14,166 --> 00:31:16,133
-Let's get out on that water.
-All right.
731
00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:18,867
[mysterious music playing]
732
00:31:18,867 --> 00:31:21,000
[water splashing]
733
00:31:36,800 --> 00:31:39,100
[Heather] Look how many
cypress trees there are.
734
00:31:39,100 --> 00:31:40,900
[Phil] Everywhere.
735
00:31:45,567 --> 00:31:47,800
It seems real easy
to get lost in here too.
736
00:31:48,467 --> 00:31:49,967
But at least
we got those coordinates.
737
00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:55,967
[Heather] We pushed deeper
into the heavily wooded cover
of the creek
738
00:31:55,967 --> 00:31:58,467
towards the site
where hundreds
of enslaved people
739
00:31:58,467 --> 00:31:59,533
reportedly died.
740
00:32:01,300 --> 00:32:04,000
As night falls, Phil and I
put on our headlamps,
741
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:06,867
keeping a lookout for signs
we've reached the crossing,
742
00:32:06,867 --> 00:32:11,100
searching for the ruins
of the pontoon bridge
cut by Union soldiers.
743
00:32:13,100 --> 00:32:15,000
[Phil] All right, Heather,
GPS says we should be
744
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:17,834
basically right on top
of the crossing.
745
00:32:18,467 --> 00:32:19,800
You seeing anything?
746
00:32:20,500 --> 00:32:21,800
[Heather] Oh...
747
00:32:24,500 --> 00:32:26,567
Wait, is that
what we're looking for?
748
00:32:26,567 --> 00:32:27,700
[Phil] I think that's it.
749
00:32:31,367 --> 00:32:32,500
This is pretty incredible.
750
00:32:32,500 --> 00:32:33,667
Look at the aging
on these posts.
751
00:32:33,667 --> 00:32:35,900
This is clearly
a very old structure.
752
00:32:35,900 --> 00:32:39,800
I think this has got to be
the remnants of the bridge
that crossed the stream.
753
00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:41,066
[Heather] I mean,
I think you're right.
754
00:32:41,066 --> 00:32:42,667
[Phil] I'll try
to find some dry land.
755
00:32:42,667 --> 00:32:45,166
[Heather] Yeah.
What about over there?
756
00:32:45,166 --> 00:32:46,500
That would have been
where the bridge ended.
757
00:32:46,500 --> 00:32:48,667
[Phil] Yeah,
I think you're right.
Lead the way.
758
00:32:48,667 --> 00:32:50,233
[mysterious music continues]
759
00:32:52,567 --> 00:32:53,900
[Heather] Once we reached
dry land,
760
00:32:53,900 --> 00:32:55,867
Sister Patt recommended
pouring a libation
761
00:32:55,867 --> 00:32:59,400
to ask Ebenezer spirits'
permission for us
to investigate.
762
00:33:00,567 --> 00:33:02,200
We want to pick a spot
close to the crossing
763
00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:06,500
where any residual energy
left behind by the massacre
may be at its strongest.
764
00:33:12,700 --> 00:33:14,200
[Phil] Whoa, whoa.
765
00:33:15,500 --> 00:33:16,700
Look at that.
766
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:21,767
I'm no expert in old meta
or anything,
767
00:33:21,767 --> 00:33:24,667
but this looks like
a cable anchor.
768
00:33:24,667 --> 00:33:28,867
This is definitely
strong enough to hold up parts
of a suspension branch.
769
00:33:28,867 --> 00:33:30,100
[Heather] Yeah,
that's pretty clearly cut,
770
00:33:30,100 --> 00:33:32,166
and you cannot pull this out.
771
00:33:32,166 --> 00:33:36,066
[Phil] This could be
one of the spots
where it was cut
772
00:33:36,066 --> 00:33:38,200
and hundreds of people died
because of it.
773
00:33:38,200 --> 00:33:41,000
And this is
in the middle of the woods.
774
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:44,767
No sign,
no acknowledgement
of what happened.
775
00:33:44,767 --> 00:33:48,567
Sister Patt mentioned
that she believes
the spirits are present here
776
00:33:48,567 --> 00:33:49,900
because of that.
777
00:33:49,900 --> 00:33:51,467
I think this is where we need
to do the libation.
778
00:33:51,467 --> 00:33:52,400
Okay.
779
00:33:54,166 --> 00:33:55,233
Okay.
780
00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:59,900
So the important thing
to do here
781
00:33:59,900 --> 00:34:02,266
is to ask for permission
to be here
782
00:34:02,266 --> 00:34:03,600
as you pour the water.
783
00:34:03,600 --> 00:34:07,166
To do that, to actually thank
your own ancestors,
784
00:34:07,166 --> 00:34:08,667
your ancestors can--
785
00:34:08,667 --> 00:34:12,000
Can then essentially reach out
to those who were lost here
786
00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:14,333
and ask permission
on your behalf.
787
00:34:16,667 --> 00:34:21,100
It's really important for us
to acknowledge that
this is a sacred space.
788
00:34:21,100 --> 00:34:23,767
This is us saying
you are not forgotten.
789
00:34:23,767 --> 00:34:25,433
We ask your permission
to be here.
790
00:34:26,100 --> 00:34:27,200
We honor you.
791
00:34:28,667 --> 00:34:29,800
And we remember you.
792
00:34:42,100 --> 00:34:44,166
I ask for permission
to be here.
793
00:34:44,166 --> 00:34:46,667
I reach out to my ancestors
794
00:34:46,667 --> 00:34:48,467
those who lost
their lives here
795
00:34:48,467 --> 00:34:50,934
so that we may remember
and acknowledge them.
796
00:34:58,667 --> 00:35:00,700
-So...
-[frogs croaking loudly]
797
00:35:06,066 --> 00:35:07,300
[whispers] It just got
really loud.
798
00:35:08,767 --> 00:35:10,867
-My God.
-Yeah.
799
00:35:10,867 --> 00:35:13,667
Lots of times when a group
of frogs kicks up like that,
800
00:35:13,667 --> 00:35:15,834
that means
there's something around them.
801
00:35:21,667 --> 00:35:24,367
In the aftermath
of the Ebenezer
Creek Massacre,
802
00:35:24,367 --> 00:35:26,066
one true villain emerged,
803
00:35:26,066 --> 00:35:29,367
Union Brigadier
General Jefferson C. Davis.
804
00:35:29,367 --> 00:35:32,567
His callous order to sever
the Creek's pontoon bridge
805
00:35:32,567 --> 00:35:35,567
condemned countless
innocent people to death.
806
00:35:35,567 --> 00:35:39,867
But this wasn't the first time
General Davis's actions
were cruel.
807
00:35:39,867 --> 00:35:44,467
Two years earlier, Davis got
into a heated argument
with a superior officer,
808
00:35:44,467 --> 00:35:46,066
General William Nelson.
809
00:35:46,066 --> 00:35:49,734
Things got ugly fast,
and Davis ended up
shooting Nelson
810
00:35:49,734 --> 00:35:52,467
-in the chest
at point blank range.
- [gunshot]
811
00:35:52,467 --> 00:35:53,867
He died hours later.
812
00:35:53,867 --> 00:35:56,367
But desperate for
experienced commanders,
813
00:35:56,367 --> 00:36:00,100
the Union shockingly turned
a blind eye to Davis's crime,
814
00:36:00,100 --> 00:36:02,166
sending him back to the front.
815
00:36:02,166 --> 00:36:06,567
The killing of General Nelson
remains a singular event
in American history,
816
00:36:06,567 --> 00:36:10,500
the only instance
of one US general
killing another.
817
00:36:10,500 --> 00:36:14,100
And if there
had been repercussions
for Davis, who knows?
818
00:36:14,100 --> 00:36:18,133
Perhaps the horrors
of Ebenezer Creek
could have been averted.
819
00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:23,734
[frogs croaking]
820
00:36:23,734 --> 00:36:25,834
[whispers] So we've had
this baseline
of frog call tonight,
821
00:36:25,834 --> 00:36:26,867
but that...
822
00:36:27,967 --> 00:36:30,567
That's a really loud group
and that sounds close.
823
00:36:31,500 --> 00:36:32,433
What could have disturbed 'em?
824
00:36:34,667 --> 00:36:37,233
I don't know,
but they're really sensitive
825
00:36:37,233 --> 00:36:39,834
to presence
in their environment.
826
00:36:39,834 --> 00:36:42,266
By the sounds of it,
something has shifted.
827
00:36:42,266 --> 00:36:44,734
Sister Patt said that
when she was here,
828
00:36:44,734 --> 00:36:47,033
the moment
she poured the libation
829
00:36:47,033 --> 00:36:49,433
is the moment
she started seeing the dust
830
00:36:49,433 --> 00:36:51,867
and shadow figures
around here.
831
00:36:51,867 --> 00:36:55,767
According to her,
the spirits will be out.
832
00:36:55,767 --> 00:36:58,667
[Heather] I want to do
a call and response
on the spirit box.
833
00:36:58,667 --> 00:37:01,166
-What do you think?
-Okay.
834
00:37:03,767 --> 00:37:05,400
-[Heather] Recording.
-[spirit box crackling]
835
00:37:06,066 --> 00:37:07,834
My name is Heather.
836
00:37:07,834 --> 00:37:10,166
You can use this device
to communicate.
837
00:37:10,166 --> 00:37:11,467
[incoherent music crackling]
838
00:37:12,233 --> 00:37:13,734
Is there anyone here with me?
839
00:37:16,033 --> 00:37:17,700
-[spirit box voice]
-[Heather] You're here?
840
00:37:21,100 --> 00:37:22,200
Did you die here?
841
00:37:25,467 --> 00:37:26,634
[spirit box voice]
842
00:37:27,867 --> 00:37:29,000
[Heather] You're hurt.
843
00:37:31,333 --> 00:37:32,767
[spirit box voice]
844
00:37:32,767 --> 00:37:35,467
"Target".
I just heard "target".
845
00:37:35,467 --> 00:37:36,867
Mmm.
846
00:37:38,433 --> 00:37:39,500
You were targeted.
847
00:37:40,166 --> 00:37:41,900
I'm so sorry
it happened to you.
848
00:37:44,166 --> 00:37:46,634
[spirit box voice]
849
00:37:48,500 --> 00:37:51,567
I just got "help"
and I just got "angel".
850
00:37:57,667 --> 00:37:59,233
-[spirit box voice]
-"Peace".
851
00:37:59,233 --> 00:38:02,400
-[spirit box voice]
-[sighs] You are free.
852
00:38:03,166 --> 00:38:06,133
And you are finally safe.
853
00:38:06,133 --> 00:38:08,500
Is there anything
you would like to say?
854
00:38:11,166 --> 00:38:12,734
[spirit box crackling]
855
00:38:22,567 --> 00:38:25,100
It seems like the spirits
have quieted down.
856
00:38:25,100 --> 00:38:26,634
[Phil] It seems like it.
857
00:38:27,967 --> 00:38:30,133
I heard "free",
I heard "peace".
858
00:38:30,133 --> 00:38:31,600
It's powerful.
859
00:38:32,500 --> 00:38:35,600
And it's gotten
[whispers] much quieter.
860
00:38:35,600 --> 00:38:36,667
[whispering] Yes.
861
00:38:36,667 --> 00:38:41,066
I don't think we should
disturb this place anymore.
862
00:38:41,934 --> 00:38:44,900
Before we go,
if there is someone listening,
863
00:38:45,567 --> 00:38:47,400
thank you for letting us
be here.
864
00:38:48,333 --> 00:38:50,734
I know that
I will not forget this place.
865
00:38:55,233 --> 00:38:58,500
[Josh] Is Savannah, Georgia,
the most haunted city
in America?
866
00:38:59,433 --> 00:39:02,467
My team undertook
an unprecedented investigation
867
00:39:02,467 --> 00:39:04,867
throughout its streets
and its surroundings
868
00:39:04,867 --> 00:39:06,066
to discover the truth.
869
00:39:08,133 --> 00:39:11,000
The Polaroid taken by Heather
at the Sorrel Weed house,
870
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:13,567
seemingly showing
a shadow entity...
871
00:39:13,567 --> 00:39:15,467
[Phil] Woah!
Look at that behind you.
872
00:39:15,467 --> 00:39:17,667
...was further analyzed.
873
00:39:17,667 --> 00:39:21,133
The image does appear
to contain
a figure-shaped shadow,
874
00:39:21,133 --> 00:39:23,266
but crucially,
we could not determine
875
00:39:23,266 --> 00:39:26,367
any light source or object
that would create it.
876
00:39:26,367 --> 00:39:28,600
The entity
remains unexplained.
877
00:39:29,467 --> 00:39:31,867
Our attempts to capture
a shadow figure
878
00:39:31,867 --> 00:39:34,600
at the Savannah Theatre
were less successful.
879
00:39:34,600 --> 00:39:37,767
The camera Phil left behind
did not record anything
880
00:39:37,767 --> 00:39:39,600
like the evidence
we were shown.
881
00:39:42,667 --> 00:39:45,367
Ultimately, it would be
the sounds of Ebenezer
882
00:39:45,367 --> 00:39:47,567
that would prove
the most disturbing.
883
00:39:47,567 --> 00:39:48,967
[frogs croaking loudly]
884
00:39:50,066 --> 00:39:51,100
[whispers] It just got
really loud.
885
00:39:51,100 --> 00:39:54,000
[Josh] We'd heard reports
of eerie whistling.
886
00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:56,367
I heard like a high
pitched whistling noise
887
00:39:56,367 --> 00:40:00,266
like air being pushed through
a real small space real fast.
888
00:40:00,266 --> 00:40:02,567
[Josh] And then
encountered them ourselves.
889
00:40:02,567 --> 00:40:04,400
[high-pitched whistling]
890
00:40:05,967 --> 00:40:07,133
What the [bleep] was that?
891
00:40:07,133 --> 00:40:08,934
It's that way!
It's that way! Let's go!
892
00:40:08,934 --> 00:40:12,000
[Josh] Phil undertook
a detailed analysis,
893
00:40:12,000 --> 00:40:15,500
but could not match them
to any known source.
894
00:40:15,500 --> 00:40:19,066
And there was an even more
disturbing revelation to come.
895
00:40:19,066 --> 00:40:21,066
As Heather reviewed
her recordings
896
00:40:21,066 --> 00:40:23,333
from her final EVP session
at the Creek...
897
00:40:23,333 --> 00:40:25,133
-My name is Heather.
-[spirit box crackling]
898
00:40:25,133 --> 00:40:27,467
You can use this device
to communicate.
899
00:40:27,467 --> 00:40:30,100
[Josh] ...she discovered
the same strange whistle
900
00:40:30,100 --> 00:40:32,834
as if something
had been following them.
901
00:40:32,834 --> 00:40:35,700
[Heather] And you are
finally safe.
902
00:40:36,433 --> 00:40:38,500
[high-pitched whistling]
903
00:40:40,166 --> 00:40:43,433
[Josh] Heather is certain
Savannah deserves
its haunted reputation
904
00:40:43,433 --> 00:40:46,467
and is convinced
she's uncovered
the reason why.
905
00:40:47,734 --> 00:40:50,266
Plotting the many places
the team investigated,
906
00:40:50,266 --> 00:40:55,667
Sorrel Weed, Moon River,
Savannah Theater,
Wright Square,
907
00:40:55,667 --> 00:40:58,600
a remarkable pattern
does emerge.
908
00:40:59,567 --> 00:41:01,734
Heather believes
a paranormal conduit
909
00:41:01,734 --> 00:41:06,166
or ley line links
all of these locations
to the Savannah River.
910
00:41:06,166 --> 00:41:08,367
And that the river itself
may be carrying
911
00:41:08,367 --> 00:41:12,333
paranormal energy downstream
from Ebenezer Creek.
912
00:41:12,333 --> 00:41:16,233
Could the unforgivable
massacre at Ebenezer
be the root cause
913
00:41:16,233 --> 00:41:18,367
of Savannah's
paranormal activity?
914
00:41:18,367 --> 00:41:20,500
[Phil] Okay,
what the [bleep] was that?
915
00:41:21,467 --> 00:41:23,133
[Josh] Whether that's
the case or not,
916
00:41:23,133 --> 00:41:26,600
we can confidently say
the so-called City of Spirits
917
00:41:26,600 --> 00:41:29,433
lives up
to its deadly reputation.
