Kindred Spirits - Seventh Season

The activity here is not shy.

It's aggressive.

I woke up in the middle of the night with a scratch that was burning.

I hate where I'm standing right now. Like, it's creeping me out.

No.

No.

She's looking at you.

She says, "You hurt me."

Amy, I can already tell you...

...it's like an overwhelming sadness.

Whoever's in here, do not **** touch me.

Yeah, we need to get him out.

****

'The dead want a voice.'

We just wanna help this family.

'The living need our help.'

Have you always been here?

He was watching already.

Woo. Well, the house is old.

Yeah. So we have the Lotze family.

We're gonna be meeting with Kimberly and Jaime today,

and the activity here is not shy.

Apparently we have people getting scratched,

shadow figures footsteps, but... aggressive.

Yeah, they said that they were gonna move out of the house,

and we're their last resort.

But she's got a rent-to-own situation,

and she doesn't wanna just give up

on the entire plan they've had... Yeah.

...because the activity is so intense.

Kimberly's son, Colton, seems to be getting the brunt of the activity.

But I guess right now,

the priority is meet the family and see how dire it actually is.

Let's see what's going on here.

Hi. Hi.

You must be Jaime. Yes.

Nice to meet you. Kimberly, how are you?

Nice to meet you. Hello. How are you?

Hi, I'm Amy. Nice to meet you. Hi.

It sounds like things are getting pretty desperate at this point.

So what's happening?

Why did you guys call us?

Things have gotten so bad that...

...it's gotten the whole family.

It's upset...

...and it gets angry sometimes

when it gets really ramped up.

And everybody's on edge, anxious...

...and you just don't feel comfortable when this is happening.

OK. How long have you lived in the house?

Since 2014.

OK. OK.

Has there always been activity since the moment you moved in?

Or did it change somewhere?

It changed. OK.

It wasn't...

...active until...

...maybe two years of living here.

OK. OK...

And it's just gotten worse, yeah. OK.

Who seems to be affected the most by it?

- My son, Colton. - OK.

He was on the couch.

He heard his name in his ear say "Colton."

Wow. And he left the house for two weeks.

He was very emotional and just took off.

You wanna head into this room now?

Yes. Alright.

What goes on in here, exactly?

My friend Terry was staying with us

for about four or five months.

We both were sitting here, watching TV,

and the cabinet over here by the TV was open,

because we were getting DVDs out, and it just...

...like that.

OK. OK.

So, so your son, Colton, isn't the only one experiencing activity.

Right. OK. Where to next?

Kitchen. Kitchen? Alright.

I was cutting some vegetables right here,

and I started getting, like this...

...uneasy kind of feeling,

and I started feeling sweaty and clammy,

and just not feeling well at all.

And there was something telling me

to continue to put my finger underneath the knife,

and just go ahead and do it,

and cut my finger.

And I pulled it away, and walked away,

and I told my wife and I was like, "I'm not doing this right now."

I had to get away.

That's bizarre. That's weird.

Has anything like that happened before or after?

Not since then, no.

OK. Nothing like that.

And so that was Thanksgiving how long ago?

Last year? Last year.

Wow. OK. Yes.

And the other thing is our basement door is always key-locked.

I was sitting in a stool,

he was out here with his friend, Terry,

and that door just opened on its own.

Just comes open like this.

It does on a regular basis?

Three or four times a month.

OK. OK. OK.

And, um, you do get a really...

...horrible feeling down there. Um...

It's...

You get chills on your back,

and I'm getting chills talking about it now,

on, on my shoulders right now. Um...

Yeah. So you guys probably avoid

going down there as much as possible?

I will not go down there unless somebody's with me.

As a guy, I wanna say that I try to be a tough guy,

and feel comfortable going down there.

But if I have to go down there for some reason,

I usually have somebody go with me.

So has anything happened down there? Or is it just a feeling?

A feeling. Just a feeling.

Where else should we go? Our room.

One morning...

...my wife woke up,

and she told me she had gotten this huge scratch on her thigh.

Yes.

I had three scratch lines on my thigh.

OK.

And I had showed it to him, and he suggested I did it myself,

and I said, "No, I didn't."

I didn't wanna say I didn't wanna believe her,

but it was so bad that it kind of scared me.

Right. And...

...two days later,

I woke up in the middle of the night

with a scratch like this...

...all the way down my arm.

And it woke me up. It was burning.

And for something to do that,

and me to wake up and feel it, was pretty incredible.

How long ago did this happen?

About two months ago. OK.

Wow. Recent.

Very recent.

We were sleeping, and something had pulled my hair...

...so bad

that my neck flew backwards.

And she... I hit him.

Yeah. I said, "What did you do that for?"

I was out, sleeping.

And he goes, "What?"

I said, "You just pulled my hair." He's like, "No, I didn't."

So...

Yeah. And then another time

is we were coming to bed, and I'm like...

"...I can't do this." Yeah...

It felt like heaviness, like I couldn't breathe...

...my heart racing.

I had to get out of here.

And she turned around to me,

and she's like, "I'm not doing this room right now.

"I'm not. I'm going downstairs, I'm sleeping downstairs."

You just felt it yourself, too... Yeah, you could feel it.

It's an uneasy, it's a tightness.

It's a, um, anxious breathing, kind of like,

I, I can't even explain. But it's like a...

I explain it like a thickness just hits you...

Yeah. Yeah, thickness.

...and it just hits you... Yeah.

...and you're like, it's...

The room is supposed to be comfortable.

These couple of nights that this happens, you just... leave the room.

Yeah. I mean, that's scary.

It sounds like things are getting pretty desperate at this point.

Haven't felt comfortable

in quite a long time.

This family is riddled with anxiety,

and they've had really intense paranormal activity

in the last two to three years.

When you have paranormal activity

that is making you feel uncomfortable and uneasy,

and it's triggering your anxiety, that's when it's really a problem.

The scratching and physical attacks

Jaime and Kimberly suffer through is crazy on its own,

but they say that their son is having even more aggressive activity.

'I'm gonna set up the surveillance, and Amy is gonna meet with Colton.'

We really need to figure out what's happening here,

in order to get to the bottom of this.

Hey, Colton.

Welcome to your house.

You can have a seat here.

Um, so we just wanted to talk to you kind of separately.

What happens to you here?

The first time was... I woke up around, like two-ish...

...and my door was open.

It looked like a little girl ran in front of my doorway.

I thought it was my sister.

I go in her room.

She's in bed, sleeping.

And... I was in my room.
