The Dead Files

Subs created by: David Coleman.

These people were dying.

The house has a personality of its own.

She did some bad things.

There was a being in my bed with me.

She's pissed.

They had a funeral for her in that front parlor.

Why'd they have to go and ruin everything?

1898 we think is when she...

She went insane.

She's a sociopath, period.

My name is Amy Allan.

There's something down there.

I see dead people.

He doesn't want me back there.

I speak to dead people.

She's pissed.

And they speak to me.

She doesn't like the people who live here.

But there's only one way to know if my findings are real.

Someone did hang themselves here.

- Where? - There.

I rely on my partner.

I'm Steve Dischiavi.

I'm a retired New York City homicide Detective.

Did you want to kill him?

And I know every person, every house... has secrets.

She did die in this house.

It's my job to reveal them.

Would you be surprised if there were bodies in his basement?

No.

But Steve and I never speak...

We never communicate during an investigation.

Until the very end... not good.

When we uncover if it's safe for you to stay...

Will it get worse?

Or time to get out?

- Oh, yes. - Whew.

Steve will do all of the research.

He'll look into the history.

He'll interview witnesses.

He'll find out all the facts that he can.

Then later, we come together to compare our findings

to see if there's any significant results.

I'm about an hour out of Syracuse, heading to a

small farming town in upstate New York called Erieville.

Of all places.

And I'm meeting with a man named Elvis Restaino.

Now Elvis wound up buying an old barn and farmhouse.

He's trying to maybe turn it into a bed and breakfast.

The problem is, he's having some strange and unexplained things going on.

He had an apparition meet him middle of the night in his home.

So he's having issues and he's wor... concerned about

if he should spend the money or the time to renovate

this place if he's gonna have a problem with it.

So I'm going to meet with him now.

Once I get the details from him, I can do some research

and find out what's going on.

Matt will go in before me,

and he'll remove any information that may distract me

from communicating with the dead.

So he cleans the slate.

And then I come in not knowing anything and do my walk through the location.

She would hurt her children.

All right.

Okay.

This woman...

She's pissed.

She hates me... with a passion.

She's right there.

- Elvis. - Hey, Steve. How are you?

- How are you? - Come on in.

Thank you, uh, for coming.

Man, you are in the middle of nowhere.

Elvis is a designer based out of the West Coast.

He wanted to renovate a farmhouse,

so he bought this one sight unseen on the Internet.

Okay. So why don't you tell me what's going on?

I bought this house, 3,000 miles away from where I live.

Now I'm a bit concerned.

The house has a, uh...

A personality of its own.

Okay.

It's a bit of a concern for me.

Because who's gonna want to come to a bed and breakfast that

has this negative energy to it?

So has anything specifically happened to you in the house in any part of the house?

- Yes. - Okay.

The back room, which is the oldest part of the house, and then my bedroom.

- You want to show me one of those spots? - Yeah. Let's go right up the stairs.

There's, like, this dominating woman who knows

how to manipulate how she is perceived.

That's how she gets her messages across.

Entities can control how you perceive them,

so they can present themselves in any way, shape, or form.

She always wanted, like, red hair, so she, like, shows herself with red hair,

but really, it's like a dark, mucky brown.

She's young and she...

She's in her nightdress, so she did die in her nightdress.

Here we go.

Wow. This is beautiful. Okay.

- This is your bedroom? - This is where I sleep.

Elvis, why don't you describe to me what you felt

or what you saw here in the bedroom?

I was coming in from night, had some wine.

I was a bit foggy. I was tired.

I was kind of drifting in and out of sleep.

I woke up, and there was this, uh...

Young woman, really heavy hair... like, I felt the weight of her hair

kind of draped over my chest...

Kind of looming... over me.

Okay. I'm gonna ask the obvious questions.

Did you drink enough that you think you wouldn't recall it.

- Or was it dreaming? - No, no. Not at all.

Now I see you got lights on the headboard here.

Were the lights on so you could see clearly, or was it pretty dark in here?

No, this was pitch-black in here.

There was, you know, there's a nice kind of,

uh, country glow from the stars and the moon here.

Okay, so you had a little bit of light, a little natural

light, but you didn't have any artificial light on?

- No. - Now you're positive this wasn't some

girl that may have came by that knows you and...

No. Not at all.

Okay. So you thought about all this stuff?

There was a being in my bed with me.

This is the oldest section of the house, built in 1790.

I was renovating this room, this section of the house.

Huge project. There was a loft up here.

And there was wood spanning the distance of the loft...

Beautiful wood that this table was made from.

This is the size that the planks were?

And you decided to make a table out of it.

Yeah, 14 feet. I was obsessed...

To make a 14-foot dining room table.

What... I don't need a 14-foot table.

So as I'm taking down the walls...

I find...

This picture.

In the wall or on the wall?

In the wall.

And this was between a wallpaper and the outer wall.

I made this 14-foot table before I found this picture in the wall.

It happens that everyone in this photograph could fit around this table.

Well, there's a lot of people in this photograph, that's for sure.

You're right. This size table would fit them perfect.

And they're all dressed for Sunday dinner.

Or Thanksgiving or something like that.

So everything that's happening to you is only in the older part

or whatever's attached to the older part of the house?

I could hear things...

- Okay. - Throughout the whole house.

I could sense things throughout the whole house.

But... just something peripherally...

Moving or walking by me.

So...

I'm concerned.

- Well... - And that's...

That's why I have you here. It's just, uh...

It's... it's... it's odd, you know? It's really odd.

Now did you hear about anybody dying here,

getting killed here, committing suicide here, anything like that?

No.

Okay, as far as, like, finding out the background, the facts...

If there was anything crime-wise or history-wise...

I'm gonna look into all of that.

You know I work with a partner.

This is her... end of it.

- I don't deal with any of this stuff. - Okay.

Not that I don't believe it or I disbelieve it, I just...

- That's not my forte. - Okay.

I'm an investigator. It's what I do.

I don't really know much about that.

I only deal with the facts.

Uh, what's with the dandelion in the jar over there?

So I made these blocks and I put letters on them.

And this was my interpretation of a...

A board to communicate with whoever wanted to communicate with me.

You mean like a Ouija Board?

I don't even want to say what it was like.

I'm just saying, this is an open line of communication.

So I had these letters and numbers on these blocks...

And then I had this mason jar...

With...

A dandelion in it.

And I said, if anyone was gonna communicate with me...

That the petals...

These dried petals of this dandelion...

Would blow off inside that jar.

All right, so this was your attempt at trying to contact whatever's here?

Yes, yes. I... yes. It's...

So do you have a background in this

or was this something you just... you... you know, something you just did?

It... it...

Something...

That I was compelled to do.

Okay, but you haven't done this before?

No.

Well, let me ask you this question then... was this, all this stuff before or after...

The incident in the bedroom?
