The Dead Files

There's this thing, like, running.

If it got in, it would probably just kill everybody.

She thinks it's the devil.

Hands come up from under the bed.

It has its hooks in them.

It was just a black shadow with sharp claws.

What do we know about the victim?

The straps for her mail pack were wrapped tightly around her neck.

If I could see her, I'd kick her ass.

She can't get my child. I'd die for him.

I just keep hearing, "It's a beast.

It's a beast."

Weird.

I just saw some dead girl crawling around out here.

She can't walk,

but she can go on her hands and knees and move.

And when she does, she can go fast.

She, like, does make a weird noise,

and it's like a growl.

She's aggressive.

I think that after her death, she got nuts.

And I see her over here on the fence, like,

climbing it like an animal.

I'm here in the small town of Madison, Florida.

It's about an hour outside of Tallahassee.

I got a desperate call from a mother named Annie.

She sounds bad.

Says she's convinced something in the house

is trying to kill her family.

Annie says we're her last hope.

So Amy and I have to find a way to help this family out.

So, Annie, you've got a beautiful spot here.

But when we spoke on the phone,

you sounded pretty frightened.

So what's it like living in this place?

It's hell.

That simple, right?

We're getting attacked by something we can't see.

And I believe that it's something

that's just trying to pick us off one at a time.

How long has this been going on?

We've been living here now for 11 years.

Okay.

And when we first moved in, everything was great.

And then in the last few years,

it has just exploded.

Did anything change?

We started working on the house.

Okay.

Why don't you guys just pack up and get the hell out of here?

We put everything into this house.

Okay.

I mean, we have put blood, sweat and tears,

and I'm going to fight for what's mine.

And who all lives in the house?

Let's get to the basics here.

Myself, my mother-in-law Sandy...

Okay.

My husband Harry, and my son Tristan.

He's 11.

Logan, my oldest son.

He's 22.

He just moved out a few weeks ago.

Okay, let's talk about your youngest.

So how's it affecting him? What are you seeing?

Tristan has been sleeping on the couch.

He refuses to sleep in his room.

And a few nights ago,

he had something that scared him.

And he has been in my bed

ever since with my husband and I.

So, Annie, do me a favor and give me a list

of what you guys are experiencing.

We have mysterious sounds and noises.

Bad health for numerous people.

We've been seeing shadow figures.

And it's come to the point that it's physically violent.

How is all this affecting

your relationship with your husband?

My husband's not sleeping.

It's causing chaos between me and him.

When we leave this house, we're like lovebirds,

like we just got married again.

And when I get closer to home,

I become a raging bitch.

Hmm.

How are you dealing with it? - Not well.

I'm barely holding it together.

And it's so hard because

it's something I can't fight and I can't fix it.

I'm the caretaker, and I can't fight this.

I'm seeing a crying grandma.

She has very soft, fine white hair.

So that little old lady, she likes to sit on the couch.

Living people have felt her.

A living person sitting on the couch and like

catching her out of the corner of their eyes,

seeing like, this movement,

it's weird though

because even if people are around,

she's not seeing them.

She's like, oblivious to, like, the living.

But the living are having experiences with her.

They are feeling her in the room.

She has moved through them, so they would feel like,

"Oh, my God, like somebody just walked through me,"

and like all the hairs are standing up

and they feel all weird and dizzy.

You know what I mean? - Mm-hmm.

Spooky, scary .

All right, so what's going on?

I hear footsteps.

Sounds like running in the hallway.

And when I turn and I look,

I see the boys, my kids,

running down the hallway, and then I go behind them

'cause we're not supposed to be running in the house.

And they're gaming.

And I'm like,

"Why were y'all just running in the house?"

"We weren't."

Are you actually seeing them

or you're seeing what you think is them like?

I mean, when I say, it looks like a shadow of them.

It looks almost just like my children.

It's like a doppelganger?

Basically. Yes.

That's weird. - Yeah.

It makes me uneasy thinking that something else

is in that room with my kids.

All right, so anything else you can tell me?

I woke up one morning and I discovered

some marks on my hand,

and they looked like bite marks.

What kind of bite marks are we talking about?

They were, like, in the shape of a triangle.

I mean, this looks pretty vicious.

Anything that you could have banged against

or something sharp that could have did this

while you were sleeping? - No, sir.

And what do you think whatever's here wants?

Honestly, Steve, I think they want to kill us.

Okay.

Dead girl from outside does come in here.

She doesn't want me back here.

She mostly hangs out on the ceilings.

She likes to run back and forth there.

She just thinks that's fun.

She's losing her mind right now.

So this is her favorite area.

She lives in here.

So she's dropping down on the floor.

She can go under the bed.

She can go in the closet.

I think she's hurting somebody in here.

So she's physical.

So person's laying here.

I see her hands come up from under, like, the bed.

And then she's grabbing the toes and squeezing them

like she wants to pop them.

I would not be surprised that this person is waking up

with bruises and, like, pain.

Annie told me her mother-in-law, Sandy,

is terrified of living here.

Poor woman is legally blind and deaf.

So with Annie help, I'm going to find out

what she's experiencing.

She said that she's seen dark shadow figures

throughout the house.

Has she ever described what they look like to you?

A woman?

Did she say anything else to you about what's going on?

She'll talk to something up in the corner of the room.

It's the corner over top of her door in her bedroom.

And then she will lose it.

She screams that somebody is pointing a gun at her

and is going to shoot her.

Is she scared, does she want to get out of here?

Yeah.

She ever mentioned to you what she thinks might be here?

She said that she thinks it's the devil.

Dead girl, she likes to hurt people.

She just likes to torture them.

It's fun for her.

Like, I'm seeing, like,

a woman, I think, getting her hair pulled.

The dead chick.

She's trying to drag this person out of bed.

She wants this bed.

I feel like this is a female.

So I'm thinking like older sister or aunt.

So this person like nightmares,

getting yanked on by this dead lady

'cause she's like, this is...

I just need to handle this.

Then I can get what I want, which is child.

She's got her sights set on a living child in this house.

She wants to have the child as hers.

Like, she wants to own the kid.

Any idea why?
