The Dead Files

They wanted to, like, physically hurt me.

I was picked up and thrown up against that wall.

She does something to a person's brain.

That's three deaths now on my property? Yes.

She's going to torture them.

That knife cut me on the arm.

She feels like her death was a mistake.

She's a problem.

This seems like a possession.

My name is Amy Allan.

Everything was built on blood.

I see dead people.

Very disturbing.

I speak to dead people.

There's victims around him.

Ow! And they speak to me.

Her voice sounds like death.

But there's only one way to know

if my findings are real.

The living don't stand a chance here.

I rely on my partner.

I'm Steve Di Schiavi.

I'm a retired New York City

homicide detective.

You could have got killed.

And I know every person,

every house has secrets.

This comes straight from hell.

It's my job to reveal them.

Your mom was murdered, right here, in this room.

Yes, she was. But Steve and I never speak...

We never communicate during an investigation.

...until the very end... This was just the beginning.

...when we uncover

if it's safe for you to stay...

Oh, my God.

Or time to get out.

They're very bad.

This house is going to kill me.

I'm in the city of Connie, Missouri.

It's about a half hour outside of Kansas City.

I got a call from a guy who says that things are so bad

his wife and three daughters refuse to be home alone.

He's trying to be brave, but he told me

he's been cut and even thrown against the wall.

He says if we don't help him out, he thinks somebody's gonna get killed.

Before Amy arrives,

I clear the house of any leading information.

Artwork, family photos,

even religions icons can influence her findings,

so it's important I remove them all.

When I'm finished tonight's walk can begin.

This feels weird-- I don't like this, I don't like this.

I feel terribly ill in here.

There are three, uh,

main dead people here.

The one that I'm gonna talk about right now, she's very active.

She's a problem.

She is making somebody very ill, mentally and physically,

so she'll eat the person's body, basically,

and then eat their mind.

So Lance, when we spoke on the phone you sounded pretty distraught.

What the hell are you guys going through?

My family's just terrified-- I'm terrified.

I don't know what to do or where to turn.

All right. So, who's living in the house?

Here's a picture of my family.

This is my wife, Jennifer.

That's our daughter, Chloe, she's 17.

That's Heidi, she's 12, and that's Emi, she's 8.

All right, so what are you guys going through here?

Uh, we're hearing a woman scream.

Things are moving on their own.

We see apparitions, and now things are just getting violent,

and I'm afraid someone's gonna get hurt.

Had anybody try to come in. Have you done any proactive stuff?

Yeah, we had a paranormal team come out and investigate.

The lead guy, he said "We gotta get out of here, it's not safe",

and they packed up everything and left.

So what do you think may be here?

Hell. Plain, old fashioned hell.

I'm worried about my kids.

It's heartbreaking when my daughter,

Emi--

when she comes running to me screaming, crying

and there's nothing I can do to protect her.

Nothing. I can see it's upsetting you.

I am the first and last line of defense

and I-- I can't do anything.

There's a male here who hates this dead girl.

Uh, this is a living male,

and she wants his acceptance.

She tries to talk to him-- he does not hear her.

She also feels like she's not getting a lot of attention,

and she's also extremely jealous of any attention

he gives anybody else which is not good.

It's bad.

All right-- so, what's going on?

This drawer right here... Right?

...one day it just would open,

and it would close,

and it would open and it would close,

and I was in the back bedroom... Okay.

...working, and I kept hearing it.

I just decided you know what? I'm just gonna try to get it on video.

All right, so did you actually get anything?

Yeah, I did.

I want you to take a look at it.

Either you're a big time scam artist and you me,

or you got a serious problem here.

I got a very serious problem.

Anything else going on in this place, or in the kitchen area?

One time I was in the kitchen

and I was cleaning the kitchen

and a knife flew off the counter

and cut me in the arm

and flew onto the wall right down there.

Cut you? Yeah. This is the picture.

I was petrified.

It's gotten to the point this is violent.

What if it would have been Emi?

This dead lady, her reality is very physical.

She's aware of walls and you know,

chairs and things like that which also means

she can interact with these things if she wants to.

But this causes issues for the living.

So Lance, it's pretty obvious this space bothers you.

Oh, yeah. I hate it.

I hate this basement.

I hate it with a passion.

So, have you had experiences down here?

Well, I mentioned that we brought in another paranormal team in here.

Something happened that just, really just shook me up--

I-- it just scared me to death.

Okay, what happened?

I was picked up and thrown up against that wall,

right there, and I didn't know any of it happened.

I came to, and they said "You got picked up--

lifted up into the air and just thrown up against the wall."

I don't remember any of it.

Ever suffered from a seizure or anything like that before?

No. Never.

And there has been another thing.

If I come down here by myself,

and if I'm gonna leave out that door, that door slams right in front of me.

Let me just make this perfectly clear to you.

If I find out you me, and I will, 'cause Amy's doing her walk.

If you guys are me, I'm gonna really be pissed and we're gonna have a problem.

If not, and everything you told me is legit,

this is probably one of the worst cases we worked on.

It's not I'm scared to death for my kids.

I'm scared to death for my wife. I feel hopeless.

I want to know what this is and how do I get rid of it?

The dead woman, she likes to break down the physical aspect of a person.

She wears down their body and she feeds off of it.

And the other thing is, like,

the mental deterioration.

She feeds off their memories.

She's, like, stealing memories.

It's really weird,

and it's all energy for her,

so that's really scary.

I have never seen a dead personal feed like that.

So, Jennifer, I was talking with your husband, Lance,

and I gotta tell ya, he's either the best actor in the world

or you guys got a serious problem.

We do have a problem, definitely.

As far as experiences go, what about yourself?

I was standing over here, and I saw an apparition

of a man looking into the mirror so I saw his reflection.

Okay, can you describe what you saw?

He was wearing a T- shirt-- blue T-shirt and he just had his head down.

All right, so anything else going on?

One night I was sleeping and I got woke up

because my legs slammed into the bed so hard

that I felt like they had to have been up high

and then thrown down.

Did you hear or see anything?

Hm-nh, but sometimes I'll get woke up

and I'll have scratches on my neck

and my arms will have fingerprints, bruises.

Now my understanding is that you breed dogs.

How many do you have here at any given time?

We usually have 20.

20? Yeah.

Okay, so is it possible one of the dogs might have scratched you

in the middle of the night that came in through the house, or?

No, they don't sleep with us.

I don't like this room.

Mn-nm. I don't like it, at all.

There's this guy, uh, and he's a weirdo.

He's wearing a big ol' hat, but he is-- he's like a shadow hat man.

The hat man comes in here a lot

and he's in the back corner, specifically.

And he's waiting and watching.

Very creepy.

And he feels trapped by whoever stays in here.

Do you think the person he's fixated on is in danger?

Yes. I do, because...

he hates them.
