Paranormal Witness

I heard about this house.

It hit everything we were looking for.

It seemed like the deeper I got into the house,

the sicker I got.

2:45 every night.

It never skipped a night.

Matt?

Is that you?

I knew something was hunting me.

Oh, God.

Something's gonna happen.

- Mom? -

We've disturbed something

that we should have never disturbed.

- Get out! -

Coffee's ready.

Honey?

Came right out of the blue.

You know, she was a normal, healthy-type lady.

Honey, what's wrong?

It affected my family.

Basically shook us to the roots.

Get in, kids.

Thank you.

Dad, what is it?

My Mom means everything in the world to me, so...

It was... It was hard.

Dad?

Listen to me, kids.

We thought, "oh, God, we're not gonna have a Mom,"

and it was kind of one of those, like, reality checks to me,

saying that, "do I have to grow up without a Mom?"

When I had my stroke,

it was very difficult.

My speech came back, but my...

My thought process was not 100%,

but I knew that it was in me to be a fighter,

and just looking at my kids on a daily basis...

How are you?

Hey, Matt, can you get the bags?

I want to see them grow up.

That was the first time I saw the house.

We originally were staying in a rental unit

trying to find a bigger, better place to make permanent.

We needed a home.

This was it.

It's a new start, baby.

Gonna start over.

Today's the first day of our new life.

And it's even got a spooky basement.

I don't know what it was,

but the basement had a really... Kind of a weird feel to it.

I think I've had enough for today.

When I finally got my room set up,

I started putting my stuff away.

I brought out these two bunnies that I was given for easter,

and they're really cute, and they had this little rope

connecting them by their paws.

The boy bunny,

it was right in the middle of my room.

Why are they torn apart?

I go straight to my Mom.

Mom.

"Mom, my bunnies are broken."

She was really upset.

Well, honey, it's probably just from the move.

I more or less told her,

"oh, you must've ripped it by accident."

She stomped up those stairs

and was very irritated with me

in the fact that I would not acknowledge that somebody broke

her kissing bunnies.

I just want you to get better.

Ever since my stroke,

the doctors had issued me a cpap,

and this is to help me regulate my breathing.

If I didn't wear my cpap,

doctors were very clear,

"your heart can stop beating.

"You can have another stroke.

"You have to use it nightly

or you're taking your own life in your own hands."

I catch a whiff of something.

It's not a normal smell

that you would have in your house.

I mean, I know this.

This is a familiar smell.

The door to the basement is open.

There should be no reason why this door should be open.

And then that's when it registered.

It was the smell of cherry pipe tobacco...

But nobody smokes in our home.

I don't like going in the basement,

so I shut that door.

I made sure to push it, and I heard it click.

Today's contestants are...

From the midwest...

Reducing parasitic drag

and much improving fuel economy across all models.

I'm going to go to bed. I'm tired.

Got an early day.

That door is open again.

I know I shut that door.

You try to rationalize it.

Okay, did the house settle? No, didn't feel anything.

Did we have an earthquake?

No, we didn't have an earthquake.

That's crazy.

I shut it... Shoop.

Click. It's shut.

This door keeps coming open.

It's very odd to me.

Very odd.

As I looked at my bedroom window

and then Amber's bedroom window,

it almost looked like somebody had, like, two fingers

and pushing the... One of the blinds down

and looking through.

My heart just started racing.

Nelson's not home.

Who's in the house?

What is a disabled woman supposed to do

if it really is an intruder?

Maybe I should've called Nelson,

but I just didn't want to be defeated.

When I got up to Amber's room...

I got hit with a wall of cold.

And there was nothing there.

There's nowhere anybody could be...

But yet I could still see the two-finger indentation

in the blind.

Just...

Baffled me,

but I'm a rational adult.

Okay, it must have been the light playing on the window

or something.

You know, there's nothing there.

In the house,

the way I slept was... Not right.

I would usually sleep through the night,

but in this house,

I was waking up at a specific time.

2:45 every night.

It never skipped a night.

Matt?

Is that you?

First thought: Matt's trying to play a trick on me.

Stop it!

It's shaking. I don't know what to do.

Please, stop it!

Oh, God.

Stop it! Stop it!

The shaking finally stopped after a few minutes...

But I'm still thinking,

"is it gonna happen again?"

"Okay, it's done."

I'm calming down.

And then suddenly...

_

_

I jolted up from the bed, grabbed my pillows,

grabbed my cover.

I went downstairs to my parents' room.

Next thing I know,

there's a little boy giggling.

My heart starts pounding really fast.

Oh, God. Something's gonna happen.

- Get out! -

Mom! Dad!

Something's wrong. You know, this is your child.

- What's wrong? - There's someone in the house.

She's so... upset.

He was right here.

Who's in the house?

I don't know. I-i heard somebody.

Okay. Okay.

She was so scared.

I'll go look. Okay? All right?

- - It's okay, honey.

She was shaking like a little leaf.

Daddy's looking after it.

What do you think it is?

Nelson's looking around and turning on lights
