Kindred Spirits

Erica's been dealing with activity in this space

for almost 10 years.

I have these claw marks.

I feel like it's trying to kill me.

He watches them.

whoa!

At one point in time, things got really, really bad.

Correct.

Bruni: Like, have you gotten the sense from her

that she was psychic or sensitive?

Yeah.

Something happened.

Stop.

I see you.

The dead want a voice.

We just want to help this family.

Berry: The living need our help.

Have you always been here?

He was watching already.

bruni: Here we are.

definitely not a house you would envision crazy

haunted, but from everything they're saying,

there's wild stuff happening in there.

So, erica, reached out

and she's been experiencing everything

from a shadow figures to voices, things moving in the home.

But, like, the whole family's being affected.

She's got two small children -- liam, who is 2 years old,

lily is 11 months old, and an older son

who lives here, as well, who's being affected.

His name is jordan. There's her husband.

Yeah. Didn't say -- something about it

as an attachment to her husband at some point.

She feels as though he might be possessed.

Eric's been dealing with activity in this space

for almost 10 years,

and she just feels like the activity has escalated

and escalated and escalated.

Her message is just increasingly desperate

over the last few weeks, and the kids are terrified.

She's brought in priests, she's brought in shamans,

and now she's called us.

So she has exhausted all of her resources,

all this crazy stuff

is happening that she can't explain.

It's overwhelming. She's in the house all the time

taking care of her kids, and we're the last hope?

Yeah.

All right, let's go in, meet the family.

Bruni: Erica has so many concerns. She's here by herself a lot.

And, you know, you have this small house.

And if the activity is as crazy and frequent as erica says,

there's no place in the house for her to feel safe.

And I think it just really heightens the urgency for us

to figure out what's going on here.

All right, so erica, seemed very urgent when you contacted us.

Can you just give us kind of an idea

of what's going on here that you wanted our help?

Okay, first off, shadow figures everywhere.

I have seen full-body apparitions.

And it is changing our moods.

Right. It's making me feel sick.

So this has been happening since day one moving here.

Oh, yes. Oh, yes. Berry: Okay.

So do you think it's associated with you

or do you think it's associated with the house?

I don't...

There's just so much that's going on...

Mm-hmm.

...That it picked up after we,

you know, we had someone to come and bless the house.

Mm-hmm.

What do you mean?

She claimed that she was a shaman.

Mm-hmm. She went outside,

took junior around property, and she had drums.

She claimed that something was on him.

And after that

is when the activity went through the roof.

Well, I will say that sometimes

when people try to cleanse a house,

it will cause an uptick in activity

because what's there is like, "I don't want to go.

I'm here trying to communicate with you.

And now you're just trying to get rid of me." mm-hmm.

So what happened in here in terms of activity?

Okay. I was sitting right there on the couch

and distinctly heard a deep male voice say,

"erica!"

huh.

Something in here knows my name.

Mm-hmm. Right.

And that got me scared.

Yeah. Who do you think is responsible for the activity?

I don't really know. Right.

But my oldest, jordan,

his dad, james robert, he tragically passed away.

Is there anything of his in the house, or...

There is something in jordan's room.

All right. Yeah, we'll go back there.

This is jordan's room.

That is his dad's guitar.

And that was one thing that was given to him.

He died June 27, 2017.

Did you feel like the activity changed after

he passed away or...

A little bit.

And so what does he experience in here?

He'll be coming home from work.

He'll lay down and watch a movie,

and he'll cut the light off. Mm-hmm.

And it'll come back on,

and actually, he'll see the chains swinging.

The chains moving.

Oh, wow. Wow, okay.

That, and he always says he's watched.

Okay. Okay.

All right.

Erica: This is my bedroom.

This is where I see little old lady.

I was walking in and there she was.

And I literally screamed, and she was gone.

And in the bathroom, I was attacked in that shower.

I was in there in the shower and was...

...Trying to wash my hair.

Sorry.

It's okay. It's okay.

You can take your time.

And I felt scratches.

I had these claw marks that were bleeding.

Like, there's blood coming to the surface.

Mm-hmm.

And I felt like it was trying to kill me.

So we went to a priest. Mm-hmm.

We've got holy water, we've got crucifixes.

Yeah, I noticed all that. We've done everything,

but it got just -- just continually getting worse.

Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

Berry: Erica is in a fragile state.

She's genuinely terrified.

She's worried about the activity affecting her children,

effect it's having it on her husband, junior.

She thinks some of it might be from her oldest son's father,

but he passed away a little over two years ago

and she's been experiencing activity for more than a decade.

Whatever's here seems to be weighing heavily on them

and it's affecting a lot of things in the house.

Bruni: It seems like what you and your family

are going through is super intense.

What can we do here to make you feel better?

I just want to know what it is...

Mm-hmm. ...Why it's doing it,

and the negative has to have boundaries and go.

- Mm-hmm. - Okay.

Okay. We're gonna do everything we can.

Berry: Yeah, we're gonna do our best.

Berry: A lot of the things that she's experiencing,

she can't explain.

Is it playing into her fears? Is it exacerbating the activity?

Did someone else come in and make it worse?

So I'm going to talk to junior about his experiences

that have happened in the house

and really correlate them with erica's experiences,

find out what he is afraid of most,

and then maybe we can figure out what's happening here.

What happened to you specifically in the house

that's occurred?

Sometimes I'll occasionally hear

whispering in the baby's room.

I definitely have seen the shadow figure

in our bathroom kind of out of sight, into sight.

When you reached out for help,

you reached out to a lady,

and she was blessing and cleansing the house.

What did you think of when she was doing that?

What did she tell you? Did you feel anything?

She was telling me that someone was attached to me.

She grabbed my hands and looked into my eyes, you know.

When I looked into her eyes, I felt bad.

Yeah. Just something just bad.

Mm-hmm. And at one point,

my wife said that I started sweating.

Mm-hmm. Said that my fists clenched.

You don't remember any of this?

Don't remember that. I lost that.

I don't remember at all, and I'm like, "no, no.

Seriously?" yeah, yeah.

I would remember that. I would know if I was sweating.

Yeah. You know?

I don't.

Out of all the possibilities,

who do you think is causing the activity?

I don't -- I just have a bad feeling about it.

Mm-hmm.

It almost doesn't feel human.

Junior has experienced things in the house

and erica has, and they aren't trying to exaggerate.

They're genuinely freaked out by it.

At this point, we need to see if we can see these shadows.

We need to see if we can have these experiences,
