Eli Roth Presents: A Ghost Ruined My Life

Go! Go! Go, go, go!

This is a bad idea. I never should've let you guys

come in here. - Why did you come?

I didn't know we were gonna be... - Guys, enough!

Let's go this way.

This way.

Through here!

Watch your step, you guys.

I want out of here! - Come on, come on!

I'm Eli Roth.

I've spent my life telling horror stories.

But imagine if those stories were real.

And suddenly, you found yourself stalked

and tormented by an evil spirit

and no one believed you.

These are the actual accounts of terror

as told by the victims who came face to face

with their demons and survived.

Even several years later,

I don't stop thinking about Central State.

I can't help it.

It was terrifying to say the least.

It truly truly was.

What I did primarily was just playing video games,

hang out with friends,

go see movies, you know, the cliché American weekends,

you know, after school.

Central State was a mental institution.

Opened in 1848 till its closure in 1994.

It seemed like a normal park,

but just with abandoned buildings.

From dusk, you know, till dawn it has

a totally different feel, of course.

There's a lot of damage, too. I mean,

with kids coming through,

there could have been homeless as well.

It kind of digs into the cliché

of a mental institution

that's allegedly haunted with the dark past

of, you know, satanic rituals, evil doctors,

the mad scientist.

Are you sure about this?

Come on. - Come one, you wuss.

Let's go in for a thrill, you know.

I'm a kid just looking for something different.

There's a journey? An adventure? We're in.

Are we going inside?

Hell yeah.

Hello!

Anybody home?

Calling all ghosts!

Come out!

Come out wherever you are!

How about we split up? Cover more ground.

You're not scared, are you?

No.

As you walk down the hallways,

you can hear that scary creepy water drip

along with the smells that kind of puts in the atmosphere

that you're in this creepy Hollywood movie.

There's no working lights,

there's no electricity, everything's dilapidated

and just decaying around you.

It's very, very barbaric.

Pipes are all over the place.

There's broken glass shards in there.

It was pitch black, not only to your eyes,

but it's pitch black to my being. My energy.

There's something weird going on.

There's probably something in here

that we may not wanna find.

Stop messing with me.

What are you talking about?

Nice try. The moaning. The hand.

Wasn't me.

I swear.

Maybe we should go.

Not a chance.

Let's go.

Check it out.

You coming?

There was over five miles of tunnels

underneath Central State and that would take you

throughout all the other buildings.

Hello!

Come on! If you're a ghost, show yourself!

Hold up.

Check it out.

What is it?

What happened in there?

Some poor prisoners scratched

the hell out of the walls.

Yeah, let's get out of here.

Wanna hang at my place?

Yeah, let's do that.

Agh!

Guys.

Go! Go! Go, go, go, go!

Rocks are being thrown at this point in time.

Apparently, whatever it was, I'm seeing multiple rocks

being levitated off the ground in front of me and launched.

And now they're hitting me in the face.

They're hitting me in the chest.

My buddies are getting hit.

So, that's when we pretty much figured

we are in a little too deep.

There's the door.

Come on! Come on! Come on!

Hey!

These are fresh batteries.

We made our bad decision.

A really bad mistake.

Now I'm using negative energy to bring something out.

I challenged them. I threatened them.

I'm like, "This is what I'm asking for,

so be ready for it."

But the fact is, I wasn't ready for it.

Come on, come on, come on!

Is it over?

I don't know.

We need more light.

Come on!

Okay, now what?

Get out of here. That's what.

This way.

There is something down there with us.

It's not me playing games.

It's not them playing games.

The more we reacted in a negative, fearful way,

the more it gained power.

This is a bad idea.

I never should've let you guys come in here. - Then why did you come?

I didn't know we were gonna be... - Guys, enough!

Let's go this way.

This way!

No, no, no, no, no!

There was no way of us getting out.

We were pretty much stuck.

There was something real there

and it, it was very angry.

Very, very angry.

You know, it's like, "Hey, you asked for trouble.

Here I am. Here I am."

Come on.

Let's go!

Through here!

Watch your step, you guys.

I want out.

I want out of here! - Shh!

We're right back where we started.

Now let's get the hell out of here.

Did you see that?

I almost had my head taken off!

Guys, guys, guys!

I think we're safe now.

That was... - Yeah.

There's a woman in white, literally

comes into view like smoke.

She has a full white gown.

She has a face but no details.

She had no emotion. She had no characteristic.

She was just there.

Like that's just... so unreal.

We just survived this.

We just survived something new.

Something crazy.

But little did we know there was a much larger plan,

a much larger agenda.

It's one thing to provoke.

It's another thing to even challenge

but it's especially bad when you offer your energy.

And whatever this thing was, it was negative,

and it accepted my offer.

That, that's terrifying.

Schuler!

What happened to your eye?

Nothing.

Goodnight.

It actually had scratches on the paint,

as if somebody took the edge of a knife and carved

the paint and that's where I started thinking,

you know, what exactly is going on?

I feel this thing was trying to tell me is,

"I'm more powerful than you.

You've messed with something that you should've never

messed with."

I thought maybe it just could have been,

you know, PTSD type of thing.

I've had a scary encounter and I'll get over it eventually.

And that didn't help me either because it didn't stop.

I felt completely lost.

I felt like a patient at Central State.

I felt abandoned, I felt hopeless,

and I'm starting to lose my mind.

I most definitely felt like this was a message

from Central State.

Whatever this thing was, it was a messenger.

I opened the door for the messenger,

I asked for it, and I was receiving.

Central State most definitely does have a dark past.
