Kindred Spirits

I WOULD SWEAR I SAW SOMEBODY OUT THERE STANDING

AGAINST ONE OF THE TREES.

ADAM!

- I SAW SOMETHING MOVE. - I DID, TOO.

DO YOU WATCH FROM THE WOODS?

WHAT IS YOUR NAME?

ACCIDENT. SHE DIED WHEN SHE WAS 3.

GOD.

THERE WAS A HUGE SPINNING BLADE AND SHE WALKED INTO THAT BLADE.

I'M AMY BRUNI.

AND I'M ADAM BERRY.

WE'VE SPENT A COMBINED 30 YEARS

INVESTIGATING THE WORLD'S MOST TERRIFYING HAUNTINGS.

AFTER THOUSANDS OF CASES,

WE ARE READY FOR OUR MOST IMPORTANT JOURNEY YET.

RESCUING FAMILIES TERRORIZED BY PARANORMAL ACTIVITY

IN THEIR OWN HOMES.

WE UNCOVER THE TRUTH BEHIND THE HAUNTING

TO HELP FAMILIES RECLAIM THEIR HOMES...

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

...AND THEIR LIVES.

CAPTIONS PAID FOR BY DISCOVERY COMMUNICATIONS

BASICALLY, CATHERINE LIVES WITH HER DAUGHTER

ON THIS MASSIVE PROPERTY, 30-SOME-ODD ACRES,

35 ACRES, I GUESS.

11 YEARS AGO, SHE STARTED HAVING CRAZY EXPERIENCES.

SHE THINKS IT'S HER FAMILY MEMBERS.

OKAY.

BUT THERE ARE EXPLODING LIGHT FIXTURES.

HER DAUGHTER WAS SCRATCHED.

SHE HAS SEEN AN APPARITION OR SOMETHING STANDING BY A TREE

STARING AT HER WHILE SHE'S SITTING IN HER HOME.

SO IT DOESN'T SOUND LIKE IT'S ENTIRELY HER FAMILY.

I MEAN, SOME OF THAT ACTIVITY SOUNDS DIFFERENT.

ABSOLUTELY.

THERE AREN'T ANY DEATHS IN THE HOUSE

BECAUSE THE HOUSE WAS BUILT IN '82, '83.

THEY BUILT IT, SO THERE WAS NO HOUSE

ON THIS PROPERTY BEFORE THEN.

LOOKING AT THE ADDRESS,

THIS PLACE IS IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE.

NOWHERE. IT IS ON A LONG ROAD BY ITSELF.

WE ARE NOT WOODSY PEOPLE.

YEAH.

WE NEED TO GET YOU SOME CAMOUFLAGE CARGO SHORTS.

WHAT IF WE WORE CAMOUFLAGE IN THE WOODS?

WE WOULD CATCH THE SPIRIT. THEY WOULDN'T SEE US.

THEY'D BE LIKE "THAT'S JUST A TREE."

NO? CHECK, PLEASE.

- HI, GUYS. - HI!

- HI! - ADAM, HI!

- MARY. - MARY. AMY.

COME ON IN. I'LL SHOW YOU THE HOUSE.

- AFTER YOU. - THANK YOU.

WELL, THIS IS NICE.

THANK YOU. BUILT IT OURSELVES.

AND NOW, IS IT JUST YOU HERE ALL THE TIME?

NO, MY DAUGHTER LIVES HERE WITH ME

SINCE MY HUSBAND LEFT.

SO IT's JUST THE TWO OF US.

ALL RIGHT.

SO, WE OBVIOUSLY KNOW A LITTLE ABOUT YOUR CASE.

BUT WE'D LOVE TO HEAR ABOUT THE ACTIVITY

AND ABOUT THINGS, SO TAKE US THROUGH THE HOUSE.

TELL US EVERYTHING. GIVE US THE HOT SPOTS.

WE DID HAVE AN INCIDENT THAT HAPPENED HERE.

I CAME HOME FROM WORK ONE DAY.

AND THERE WAS GLASS AND WOOD SPLINTERS

ALL OVER THE FLOOR HERE.

MARY TOLD ME,

THAT SHE HAD BEEN BACK IN THE LAUNDRY ROOM.

SHE HEARD A LOUD CRASH, CAME OUT HERE.

AND THE LIGHT UP THERE... HAD BROKEN.

THIS ONE?

THE LIGHT WAS THE SAME DESIGN

AS THE ONE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE STAIRS.

OKAY.

THEY WERE, LIKE, A SET, ONLY THIS WAS A SWING LIGHT.

SO THIS WAS SOMETHING?

THIS HAD -- THIS WAS SOMETHING? - IT WAS, YEAH.

THERE WAS A WOOD BASE ON THE BOTTOM JUST LIKE THE TOP.

AND YOU CAN SEE RIGHT HERE WHERE IT'S RIPPED OFF.

THIS IS THE MASTER BEDROOM.

JUST THIS LAST SATURDAY,

I HAD SOMETHING REALLY THAT KIND OF REALLY FREAKED ME OUT.

WHILE I'M LAYING THERE QUIETLY,

I HEARD FOOTSTEPS START TO COME INTO THE ROOM.

AND I OPENED MY EYES, AND IT WAS, LIKE,

STANDING NEXT TO THE BED,

JUST A SMALL FIGURE WATCHING ME SLEEP.

AND ALL OF A SUDDEN,

I HEARD THIS LOUD BREATHY SIGH IN MY EAR.

WHOLE SIDE OF MY BODY WENT ICE-COLD.

THAT'S REALLY STRANGE.

JUST CHILLS FROM HEAD TO TOE.

ABOUT A MONTH AGO, MY ONE DAUGHTER CAME TO VISIT.

AND WE WERE STANDING OVER HERE.

AND ALL OF A SUDDEN,

I WOULD HEAR VOICES COME FROM DOWN THE HALL.

- OKAY, SO IN THAT ROOM THERE? - IT CAME FROM THAT DIRECTION.

YES. AND MY DAUGHTER LOOKED AT ME.

HER EYES WERE AS BIG AS SAUCERS. SHE SAID, "DID YOU HEAR THAT?"

THERE WERE TIMES WHERE I'D BE SITTING HERE

AND LOOKING OUT THE SLIDING GLASS DOOR

WHERE I WOULD SWEAR I SAW SOMEBODY OUT THERE STANDING

AGAINST ONE OF THE TREES.

THE TABLE MAKES A VERY DISTINCT SOUND WHEN YOU MOVE IT.

- RIGHT. - I WAS IN THE LIVING ROOM.

AND I HEARD THAT NOISE, THAT CREAK,

LIKE SOMEBODY LEANING UP AGAINST THE TABLE.

HERE, I WANT TO SEE.

YEAH. OKAY.

IT GIVES THIS CREAK WHEN YOU MOVE IT.

YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE TO MOVE IT HARD.

JUST LEAN AGAINST IT.

ALL RIGHT. WHAT COULD WE DO FOR YOU?

WHAT DO YOU THINK IS GONNA BE THE IDEAL...

WELL, I THINK A LOT OF IT WAS FAMILY.

BUT I DON'T KNOW WHO FROM THE FAMILY IS HERE.

WHICH OF YOUR FAMILY MEMBERS HAVE PASSED

THAT YOU THINK MIGHT WANT TO STICK AROUND?

WELL, THE -- THE FIRST AND FOREMOST, MY SON.

HIS NAME WAS ADAM. HE DIED AN INFANT.

WE TALKED ON THE PHONE, AND I'M WONDERING,

YOUR -- YOUR DAUGHTER GOT SCRATCHED.

- YES. - RIGHT.

AND YOU GET SCRATCHED, THAT'S NOT NECESSARILY WELCOMING.

RIGHT. AND THAT CONCERNED ME BECAUSE I THOUGHT,

"IS THERE SOMETHING ELSE HERE THAT WE DON'T WANT?"

CAN I TELL YOU SOMETHING?

YES.

WHEN WE WERE STARING OUT AT THE WOODS,

I SAW SOMETHING MOVE IN THE WOODS.

I DID, TOO.

NEXT TO THE TREE RIGHT WHERE SHE SAID.

YES. RIGHT WHERE SHE SAID.

OKAY, 'CAUSE I DIDN'T WANT TO OVERREACT.

I DIDN'T WANT TO FREAK HER OUT.

IT WAS WEIRD 'CAUSE I DIDN'T --

I WASN'T TRUSTING MYSELF COMPLETELY.

YOU STARED, YOU KEPT LOOKING AT THAT SPOT FOREVER.

I WAS STARING FOR THE LONGEST TIME.

AND YOU WOULD NOT MOVE.

BECAUSE I WAS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT

IF MY EYES WERE PLAYING TRICKS ON ME.

BUT I WAS LIKE, "I KEEP THINKIN' I'M SEEIN' SOMEBODY,

LIKE A SHADOW, PEAK OUT FROM BEHIND THAT TREE."

RIGHT. EXACTLY. THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I SAW.

WE NEED TO FIGURE OUT WHAT'S ON THE PROPERTY BACK THERE.

YES, 100%.

SO I WANT TO TALK TO THE DAUGHTER.

I JUST WANT TO KNOW WHAT THE DAUGHTER'S THINKING.

I WANT TO KNOW WHAT THE DAUGHTER'S FEELING.

I MEAN, WE NEED TO FIND OUT MORE ABOUT THE SCRATCHES

AND WHAT TYPE OF SPIRIT WOULD DO THIS

BEFORE WE START ANY TYPE OF INVESTIGATION.

SO TOMORROW, WE HAVE TO HIT IT

VERY, VERY HARD AND GET TO THE BOTTOM OF WHO'S HERE.

SO TELL ME ABOUT THE SCRATCHES AND WHERE THEY WERE,

WHAT WAS HAPPENING.

OKAY. THE WHOLE STORY OF IT IS I FELL ASLEEP DOWNSTAIRS

ON THE COUCH WATCHING TV.

WHICH COUCH WAS IT?

IT WAS THE COUCH DOWNSTAIRS.

OKAY. SO YOU WERE SLEEPING THE LIVING ROOM?

YEAH. YEAH.

AND THE NEXT MORNING FROM, LIKE,

HERE ON MY LEG TO HERE, MAYBE A LITTLE BIT HIGHER,

- THERE WERE, LIKE... - SO, LIKE, ABOUT A FOOT?

YEAH. THERE WERE, LIKE, THESE SCRATCHES.

BUT THEY TENDED -- IT WASN'T JUST LIKE ONE SCRATCH DOWN.

THEY WERE KIND OF, LIKE, CIRCULAR.

COULD YOU DRAW THEM FOR ME?

PROBABLY, YEAH.

SAY THIS IS MY LEG.

THEY WERE KIND OF LIKE THIS.

LIKE, IT WASN'T STRAIGHT.

THEY WERE REALLY WEIRD.

OKAY. DO YOU THINK THAT IT'S FAMILY MEMBERS?

MY MOM ALWAYS THINKS IT'S FAMILY.

BUT HOW SHOULD I PUT THAT?

IT MADE ME FEEL LIKE

I -- IT MADE ME FEEL LIKE IT REALLY WASN'T FAMILY.

YOU KNOW, THIS IS ONE OF THOSE CASES

WHERE IT COULD LITERALLY BE ANYTHING HERE.

IT'S ALL SUPER DIFFERENT TYPES OF ACTIVITY.

IT'S NOT THE SAME THING OVER AND OVER AGAIN.

WE NEED SOME VERY CLEAR, DISTINCT ANSWERS

TO GIVE TO CATHERINE.

THE MORE I TALK TO THE FAMILY, THE MORE I FEEL LIKE

WE'RE DEALING WITH A MUCH DARKER SPIRIT.

WE HAVE TO BE PREPARED FOR TONIGHT'S INVESTIGATION,

SETTING UP CAMERAS INSIDE AND OUTSIDE THE HOUSE.

SO, ADAM IS SETTING UP A TRAIL CAM OUT HERE

JUST BECAUSE WE'VE ALREADY SEEN A SHADOW FIGURE IN THIS AREA.

THE GAME CAMERAS ARE I.R. CAMERAS

THAT ARE MOTION-ACTIVATED.

SO THEY'RE MEANT FOR, LIKE, SPOTTING WILDLIFE.

SO IF SOMETHING MOVES IN FRONT OF THE CAMERA,

IT WILL RECORD FOR ONE MINUTE.
