Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:11,344 --> 00:00:13,211
There's so much chaos.
2
00:00:13,213 --> 00:00:15,480
I think a lot of people
died here.
3
00:00:15,482 --> 00:00:18,549
I've had an employee
pushed down the stairs.
4
00:00:18,551 --> 00:00:19,885
I need your help
desperately.
5
00:00:19,887 --> 00:00:23,555
They have to leave us alone.
6
00:00:23,557 --> 00:00:25,557
She's oozing blood.
7
00:00:25,559 --> 00:00:27,959
She was telling me,
"Don't trust men.
8
00:00:27,961 --> 00:00:29,027
They will kill you."
9
00:00:29,029 --> 00:00:30,695
My God.
10
00:00:30,697 --> 00:00:34,232
This is a very bad person.
11
00:00:34,234 --> 00:00:36,834
And I just feel fear.
12
00:00:36,836 --> 00:00:38,836
My name is Amy Allan.
13
00:00:38,838 --> 00:00:41,973
This is like Grand Central
Station for the dead.
14
00:00:41,975 --> 00:00:43,174
I see dead people.
15
00:00:43,176 --> 00:00:45,477
They have pain
that they suffered.
16
00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:47,378
I speak to dead people.
17
00:00:47,380 --> 00:00:50,314
She hates them, hates them.
18
00:00:50,316 --> 00:00:52,717
And they speak to me.
19
00:00:52,719 --> 00:00:56,187
But there's only one way to
know if my findings are real.
20
00:00:56,189 --> 00:00:59,457
It's a demon.
It's Satan.
21
00:00:59,459 --> 00:01:00,992
I rely on my partner.
22
00:01:00,994 --> 00:01:02,593
I'm Steve Di Schiavi.
23
00:01:02,595 --> 00:01:04,863
I'm a retired New York City
homicide detective.
24
00:01:04,865 --> 00:01:06,330
What was the body count,
what happened?
25
00:01:06,332 --> 00:01:10,001
And I know every person,
every house has secrets.
26
00:01:10,003 --> 00:01:11,469
I don't know if
it's a demon or not,
27
00:01:11,471 --> 00:01:12,937
but it sure as hell
looks like one.
28
00:01:12,939 --> 00:01:14,539
It's my job to reveal them.
29
00:01:14,541 --> 00:01:17,008
I feel like I'm crazy.
30
00:01:17,010 --> 00:01:18,877
But Steve and I never speak...
31
00:01:18,879 --> 00:01:20,946
We never communicate
during an investigation.
32
00:01:20,948 --> 00:01:22,280
...until the very end...
33
00:01:22,282 --> 00:01:24,349
I don't even want
to show you this.
34
00:01:24,351 --> 00:01:26,517
...when we uncover if it's
safe for you to stay...
35
00:01:26,519 --> 00:01:28,619
I just don't want anything
to happen to my mother.
36
00:01:28,621 --> 00:01:30,555
...or time to get out.
37
00:01:30,557 --> 00:01:32,089
You have to get out.
38
00:01:45,838 --> 00:01:48,973
So, I'm down here in
the Big Easy, New Orleans,
39
00:01:48,975 --> 00:01:50,775
and I got a call
from a guy named Alec.
40
00:01:50,777 --> 00:01:53,578
Now, he bought an old church
in town and turned it into
41
00:01:53,580 --> 00:01:56,314
what he thought would be
his dream restaurant,
42
00:01:56,316 --> 00:01:58,115
but the activity is so violent,
43
00:01:58,117 --> 00:02:00,185
he wishes he never set foot
in the place.
44
00:02:00,187 --> 00:02:02,587
He told me activity is
getting worse by the day,
45
00:02:02,589 --> 00:02:03,788
and it's only a matter of time
46
00:02:03,790 --> 00:02:05,657
before someone gets
seriously hurt.
47
00:02:09,930 --> 00:02:14,733
I can't hide the fact that this
is a church-turned-restaurant,
48
00:02:14,735 --> 00:02:16,667
but I still need to cover
leading information
49
00:02:16,669 --> 00:02:21,005
like religious symbols,
artwork, and menus
50
00:02:21,007 --> 00:02:23,608
that could influence
Amy's findings.
51
00:02:23,610 --> 00:02:26,811
When I'm done, the location will
be ready for tonight's walk.
52
00:02:39,026 --> 00:02:41,059
There's so much chaos.
53
00:02:43,096 --> 00:02:44,229
There's a lot of people.
54
00:02:44,231 --> 00:02:47,032
There's people in the ground,
55
00:02:47,034 --> 00:02:49,834
and I'm seeing, you know,
people being killed.
56
00:02:52,105 --> 00:02:53,237
It's bad.
57
00:03:02,916 --> 00:03:04,115
All right, Alec,
I'm glad I'm here
58
00:03:04,117 --> 00:03:05,383
'cause when we talked
on the phone,
59
00:03:05,385 --> 00:03:07,919
it didn't sound too good,
so what's going on?
60
00:03:07,921 --> 00:03:11,723
Paranormal activity here
is out of control.
61
00:03:11,725 --> 00:03:13,591
It's not only
hurting my business,
62
00:03:13,593 --> 00:03:16,994
I'm worried about the
endangerment of my employees,
63
00:03:16,996 --> 00:03:18,729
my customer base.
64
00:03:18,731 --> 00:03:20,665
I need your help
desperately.
65
00:03:20,667 --> 00:03:23,334
So, obviously this place
used to be a church, right? Yes.
66
00:03:23,336 --> 00:03:25,203
Do you know any history
about the property?
67
00:03:25,205 --> 00:03:28,739
Built in 1914, operated
as a Lutheran church
68
00:03:28,741 --> 00:03:33,878
until it was bought by the first
restaurant owners in 1977,
69
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:38,149
and in 2005, Katrina hit,
flooded, closed.
70
00:03:38,151 --> 00:03:39,484
How long
have you been here?
71
00:03:39,486 --> 00:03:41,486
My partner, Eddie, and I
bought it sight unseen
72
00:03:41,488 --> 00:03:42,820
at the end of 2015.
73
00:03:42,822 --> 00:03:44,222
So you bought this
sight unseen?
74
00:03:44,224 --> 00:03:46,291
- Absolutely.
- Now, why would you do that?
75
00:03:46,293 --> 00:03:47,959
This place
just called to me,
76
00:03:47,961 --> 00:03:49,960
but from the minute
I walked in here,
77
00:03:49,962 --> 00:03:51,362
something was not right.
78
00:03:51,364 --> 00:03:54,966
I turned to Eddie, and I said,
"I think we made a mistake."
79
00:03:54,968 --> 00:03:56,101
You regretting it?
80
00:03:56,103 --> 00:03:58,002
Many days I regret, yes.
81
00:03:58,004 --> 00:04:00,972
Give me a list of what
everybody's experiencing here.
82
00:04:00,974 --> 00:04:03,641
Most of us feel like we're
being watched all the time.
83
00:04:03,643 --> 00:04:04,909
Okay.
84
00:04:04,911 --> 00:04:07,845
Objects flying in the air.
85
00:04:07,847 --> 00:04:10,581
We hear disembodied voices,
86
00:04:10,583 --> 00:04:12,984
and we see shadow figures.
87
00:04:12,986 --> 00:04:15,120
A lot of the people here
get touched,
88
00:04:15,122 --> 00:04:18,056
and, honestly, we have
a lot of bad luck here.
89
00:04:18,058 --> 00:04:19,791
And the bad luck --
what's that all about?
90
00:04:19,793 --> 00:04:22,860
If anything can go wrong,
it will go wrong here.
91
00:04:22,862 --> 00:04:23,994
From the minute
we walked in here,
92
00:04:23,996 --> 00:04:25,996
turned on the air conditioner --
blew.
93
00:04:25,998 --> 00:04:28,866
Refrigerator, two years old --
blew.
94
00:04:28,868 --> 00:04:32,403
Tables, brand-new --
after 6 months, warped.
95
00:04:32,405 --> 00:04:33,671
All right.
So you guys own a restaurant.
96
00:04:33,673 --> 00:04:35,740
It's a business.
Things go wrong.
97
00:04:35,742 --> 00:04:36,875
Why is this paranormal?
98
00:04:36,877 --> 00:04:38,342
We have four other
restaurants.
99
00:04:38,344 --> 00:04:41,012
Nothing like this happens
at any of them, ever.
100
00:04:41,014 --> 00:04:43,080
All right, look,
you got four other restaurants.
101
00:04:43,082 --> 00:04:45,550
Why don't you just sell this one
and focus on the other ones?
102
00:04:45,552 --> 00:04:50,621
This is the one that was
a labor of love, passion,
103
00:04:50,623 --> 00:04:51,889
but we're not leaving.
104
00:04:51,891 --> 00:04:54,158
They have to leave us alone.
105
00:05:00,700 --> 00:05:03,734
There's a lot of dead people.
106
00:05:03,736 --> 00:05:08,306
It's literally like all of these
people are running around you.
107
00:05:11,111 --> 00:05:13,645
I can't breathe.
Like, I can't...
108
00:05:13,647 --> 00:05:15,713
Like, someone can't
catch their breath,
109
00:05:15,715 --> 00:05:19,317
so I think that the living
would feel this.
110
00:05:19,319 --> 00:05:21,653
I think that some people
could become overwhelmed
111
00:05:21,655 --> 00:05:23,388
to the point where
they're feeling all of this,
112
00:05:23,390 --> 00:05:26,725
and I think that they could have
a panic attack because of it.
113
00:05:33,900 --> 00:05:36,134
Okay, Alec, so what's
going on out here?
114
00:05:36,136 --> 00:05:38,469
Every time
I come out here,
115
00:05:38,471 --> 00:05:40,271
It's like somebody's
watching me.
116
00:05:40,273 --> 00:05:42,540
Like,
something is curious,
117
00:05:42,542 --> 00:05:44,542
or you think it's, like,
kind of leering at you?
118
00:05:44,544 --> 00:05:48,279
Leering at me, watching me,
every move I make.
119
00:05:48,281 --> 00:05:50,548
Okay.
What else is going on?
120
00:05:50,550 --> 00:05:52,550
Well, a lot of times
in the office,
121
00:05:52,552 --> 00:05:54,152
I'll be sitting there
working.
122
00:05:54,154 --> 00:05:55,753
All of a sudden,
I'll feel something
123
00:05:55,755 --> 00:05:57,622
touching
the back of my neck.
124
00:05:57,624 --> 00:05:59,690
Can you tell
male, female?
125
00:05:59,692 --> 00:06:00,958
No, just...
126
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:04,362
It's just this light brush,
hand on the neck.
127
00:06:04,364 --> 00:06:05,763
How often
does that happen?
128
00:06:05,765 --> 00:06:08,098
Probably happened 10, 15 times
since we've been here.
129
00:06:08,100 --> 00:06:09,367
And you're alone in the office
when this --
130
00:06:09,369 --> 00:06:11,302
I'm alone normally, yeah.
131
00:06:11,304 --> 00:06:13,204
All right, so anything else
weird like that?
132
00:06:13,206 --> 00:06:17,041
Yeah. Actually, coming down
the stairs a lot of times,
133
00:06:17,043 --> 00:06:20,377
I'll feel, like,
a whish of cold air.
134
00:06:20,379 --> 00:06:23,448
And how long does that
sensation of that cold last?
135
00:06:23,450 --> 00:06:24,649
Three or four seconds.
136
00:06:24,651 --> 00:06:26,050
All right, we're in the South.
It's hot.
137
00:06:26,052 --> 00:06:27,452
You got air-conditioning.
Are you sure it's not that?
138
00:06:27,454 --> 00:06:29,253
There's no air ducts
in that area.
139
00:06:29,255 --> 00:06:31,455
I look around. I'm like,
"Where did that come from?"
140
00:06:31,457 --> 00:06:32,923
What do you think
this is all about?
141
00:06:32,925 --> 00:06:35,793
I think whatever is here,
they just don't want us here.
142
00:06:35,795 --> 00:06:37,595
They want us gone.
143
00:06:42,735 --> 00:06:46,070
There is this dead woman.
144
00:06:46,072 --> 00:06:49,140
She's wearing red
and a red wig.
145
00:06:49,142 --> 00:06:51,409
She says she does not like men,
146
00:06:51,411 --> 00:06:54,411
and she wrapped
her left arm around me.
147
00:06:54,413 --> 00:06:55,546
She hugged me.
148
00:06:55,548 --> 00:06:58,148
She sent ice-cold chills
through my body.
149
00:06:58,150 --> 00:07:00,218
The living would
experience this.
150
00:07:02,822 --> 00:07:05,957
This woman is surrounded
by the color red.
151
00:07:05,959 --> 00:07:09,761
Red --
just being engulfed in red,
152
00:07:09,763 --> 00:07:15,166
like a aura, basically,
the type of Hell.
153
00:07:21,508 --> 00:07:22,873
What's going on in here?
154
00:07:22,875 --> 00:07:26,244
I've seen a misty figure
outside the kitchen doors.
155
00:07:26,246 --> 00:07:28,178
Okay, so what's it
look like to you?
156
00:07:28,180 --> 00:07:30,114
- The outline of a monk.
- A monk?
157
00:07:30,116 --> 00:07:31,782
- Yes.
- Okay.
158
00:07:31,784 --> 00:07:34,586
So, now, is anybody else
besides you seeing this?
159
00:07:34,588 --> 00:07:37,855
The staff sees shadows
all over the building.
160
00:07:37,857 --> 00:07:39,323
All right, Alec.
So, anything else?
161
00:07:39,325 --> 00:07:40,525
Came in one morning.
162
00:07:40,527 --> 00:07:42,393
All the burners were on.
They were all on.
163
00:07:42,395 --> 00:07:45,396
Every burner on that stove
was on.
164
00:07:45,398 --> 00:07:46,664
Did somebody come in
in the middle of the night?
165
00:07:46,666 --> 00:07:48,333
Impossible.
The alarm is set.
166
00:07:48,335 --> 00:07:50,734
We know if anybody
enters or leaves.
167
00:07:50,736 --> 00:07:54,072
I got to tell you --
you're lucky nobody got hurt
168
00:07:54,074 --> 00:07:56,740
or this place didn't burn down
or explode, as well.
169
00:07:56,742 --> 00:07:58,075
Yes.
170
00:07:58,077 --> 00:07:59,543
Okay, so anything else?
171
00:07:59,545 --> 00:08:04,081
We've had dishes fly off
the rack over here.
172
00:08:04,083 --> 00:08:07,218
The chef actually was standing
right over here,
173
00:08:07,220 --> 00:08:10,221
and they flew off, and he turned
and basically freaked out.
174
00:08:10,223 --> 00:08:12,089
The last thing you want
is somebody getting hurt.
175
00:08:12,091 --> 00:08:14,158
That's the worst thing
that could happen here.
176
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:16,361
I've had an employee
pushed down the stairs.
177
00:08:16,363 --> 00:08:19,230
I mean, we have got to make it
safe here for them.
178
00:08:19,232 --> 00:08:21,699
It's more than
just a business.
179
00:08:21,701 --> 00:08:24,768
They are family, and we want
to take care of them.
180
00:08:24,770 --> 00:08:27,305
We have got to stop
the insanity, the madness.
181
00:08:27,307 --> 00:08:29,040
We've got to
solve the problem.
182
00:08:29,042 --> 00:08:30,642
What's going on?
183
00:08:33,980 --> 00:08:37,515
This lady in red is really bad.
184
00:08:37,517 --> 00:08:39,517
Do you know if the living
have any experiences with her?
185
00:08:39,519 --> 00:08:44,254
She is very physical --
punching, pulling hair, pushing,
186
00:08:44,256 --> 00:08:48,259
anything like that
to get them away from her.
187
00:08:50,864 --> 00:08:54,298
I think if she felt
severely threatened,
188
00:08:54,300 --> 00:08:56,601
she might be dangerous.
189
00:08:56,603 --> 00:08:58,002
She would freak out.
190
00:08:58,004 --> 00:09:00,471
If she's in a mood,
it's not gonna be a good day.
191
00:09:03,076 --> 00:09:06,945
This lady in red has these
weird shadow things with her,
192
00:09:06,947 --> 00:09:08,479
but they're not human.
193
00:09:08,481 --> 00:09:10,214
They're destructive.
194
00:09:10,216 --> 00:09:14,218
What's happening is like
a chaos and destruction.
195
00:09:17,690 --> 00:09:19,290
So that's not good.
196
00:09:19,292 --> 00:09:21,492
Now, the woman in red is saying
197
00:09:21,494 --> 00:09:24,095
that she just wants to get
the **** out of here,
198
00:09:24,097 --> 00:09:27,231
and that's why
she's doing what she's doing.
199
00:09:27,233 --> 00:09:28,966
She stirred up a whole storm.
200
00:09:57,796 --> 00:09:59,029
So, Eddie, talking to Alec,
201
00:09:59,031 --> 00:10:01,398
he was convinced
that this place is dangerous.
202
00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:03,501
I mean,
do you agree with that?
203
00:10:03,503 --> 00:10:04,969
I'm concerned.
204
00:10:04,971 --> 00:10:07,771
I've always been a skeptic,
but after three years
205
00:10:07,773 --> 00:10:09,906
of seeing these things
constantly happen to you,
206
00:10:09,908 --> 00:10:12,443
it can't be explained
rationally.
207
00:10:12,445 --> 00:10:13,844
This is abnormal.
208
00:10:13,846 --> 00:10:15,112
Okay.
What are you experiencing?
209
00:10:15,114 --> 00:10:18,115
My experiences have been
more listening to everyone else
210
00:10:18,117 --> 00:10:19,850
bringing all these experiences
to me.
211
00:10:19,852 --> 00:10:21,519
Okay, so let's talk
about them.
212
00:10:21,521 --> 00:10:24,588
A bartender called
during an event,
213
00:10:24,590 --> 00:10:29,593
and a beer can flew at him
and smashed against the wall.
214
00:10:29,595 --> 00:10:32,596
He assumed, where else would it
come from but a customer?
215
00:10:32,598 --> 00:10:34,898
Right. I mean, was a customer
drinking that beer?
216
00:10:34,900 --> 00:10:37,334
There were no customers
drinking that beer,
217
00:10:37,336 --> 00:10:41,004
and we have security cameras,
so we reviewed the video
218
00:10:41,006 --> 00:10:42,539
and couldn't find
any indication
219
00:10:42,541 --> 00:10:44,608
that a customer
had thrown anything.
220
00:10:44,610 --> 00:10:47,745
Now, have you heard of any other
violence towards employees?
221
00:10:47,747 --> 00:10:49,946
Yeah. I've actually heard
of one employee
222
00:10:49,948 --> 00:10:52,616
being pulled backwards
down the stairs.
223
00:10:52,618 --> 00:10:54,884
So do you think that whatever's
here is capable of doing that?
224
00:10:54,886 --> 00:10:56,019
Well, apparently so.
225
00:10:56,021 --> 00:10:57,354
I wouldn't have thought that
three years ago,
226
00:10:57,356 --> 00:10:59,023
but it's happening
too often.
227
00:10:59,025 --> 00:11:00,357
Now, is there anything else
going on?
228
00:11:00,359 --> 00:11:02,559
It's just a lot of
bad luck --
229
00:11:02,561 --> 00:11:04,895
things breaking,
things going wrong.
230
00:11:04,897 --> 00:11:06,697
Alec mentioned
the bad luck to me.
231
00:11:06,699 --> 00:11:07,964
I feel like we're cursed.
232
00:11:07,966 --> 00:11:11,167
We even had a situation
where a food critic came in,
233
00:11:11,169 --> 00:11:13,236
and the water glass
just basically
234
00:11:13,238 --> 00:11:15,706
jumps off the tray
onto the critic.
235
00:11:15,708 --> 00:11:17,107
- Geez.
- Yep.
236
00:11:17,109 --> 00:11:19,175
Of all people, of course,
it spilled on him,
237
00:11:19,177 --> 00:11:22,512
and he actually did his review
on the radio later on.
238
00:11:22,514 --> 00:11:24,848
He'd said that they spilled
the pitcher of water on him,
239
00:11:24,850 --> 00:11:27,184
so that's not really
the publicity
240
00:11:27,186 --> 00:11:28,786
you want to get out
in the marketplace.
241
00:11:28,788 --> 00:11:31,388
What are you hoping
we can do for you guys?
242
00:11:31,390 --> 00:11:33,323
Well, I hope we can
solve the problem
243
00:11:33,325 --> 00:11:35,926
and most importantly
make it a safe environment.
244
00:11:35,928 --> 00:11:38,729
Restaurants generally are
a fairly dangerous environment.
245
00:11:38,731 --> 00:11:41,365
We've got hot grills.
We've got knives.
246
00:11:41,367 --> 00:11:43,133
We've got glass everywhere.
247
00:11:43,135 --> 00:11:45,936
It concerns me that
it could get even worse.
248
00:11:49,609 --> 00:11:51,675
There's a dead guy
wandering around.
249
00:11:51,677 --> 00:11:55,078
It looks like, to me, like he's
wearing a jester outfit
250
00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:56,579
but fancier.
251
00:11:56,581 --> 00:12:01,485
He's saying, "It's a fun
madhouse, this place."
252
00:12:04,223 --> 00:12:09,560
I feel like this guy --
he runs this place.
253
00:12:09,562 --> 00:12:11,428
This is his.
254
00:12:11,430 --> 00:12:13,697
Do you know how he might
interact with the living?
255
00:12:13,699 --> 00:12:17,634
He would be able to influence
perceptual experiences,
256
00:12:17,636 --> 00:12:21,105
manipulating them to see things
or hear things.
257
00:12:23,508 --> 00:12:24,708
Do you know
what sort of things
258
00:12:24,710 --> 00:12:26,910
he might make people
see and hear?
259
00:12:26,912 --> 00:12:32,048
Things that would embarrass
or humiliate that person.
260
00:12:32,050 --> 00:12:35,519
That's what really
makes him tick.
261
00:12:35,521 --> 00:12:37,721
If he could embarrass
or humiliate someone,
262
00:12:37,723 --> 00:12:39,522
he's going to do it.
263
00:12:43,529 --> 00:12:45,262
So, after talking
to Alec and Eddie,
264
00:12:45,264 --> 00:12:47,598
I wanted to see what
their employees had to say.
265
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:50,400
A lot of times, I'll be
doing something in here,
266
00:12:50,402 --> 00:12:52,269
and I'll feel
somebody behind me,
267
00:12:52,271 --> 00:12:54,604
and I'll turn around,
and nothing will be there.
268
00:12:54,606 --> 00:12:56,339
And each one of them
had an experience
269
00:12:56,341 --> 00:12:58,341
more intense than the last.
270
00:12:58,343 --> 00:13:02,946
I came in at 8:00 a.m.,
and the first-aid kit was open,
271
00:13:02,948 --> 00:13:05,816
and everything was thrown
on the ground everywhere.
272
00:13:05,818 --> 00:13:07,351
I was the last person here.
273
00:13:07,353 --> 00:13:09,553
I saw a tall figure
in a long, blue robe,
274
00:13:09,555 --> 00:13:11,622
and I just bolted.
275
00:13:11,624 --> 00:13:13,623
When I was trying to go
up the stairs,
276
00:13:13,625 --> 00:13:16,160
I would reach over for
the handrail with my left hand.
277
00:13:16,162 --> 00:13:17,294
Every time,
it felt like something
278
00:13:17,296 --> 00:13:19,429
was pushing my hand away
from the handrail,
279
00:13:19,431 --> 00:13:21,365
and I would trip
on the first step.
280
00:13:21,367 --> 00:13:23,967
But what's got me the most
concerned is the violence.
281
00:13:23,969 --> 00:13:26,436
This does not seem to be
a safe place to work.
282
00:13:26,438 --> 00:13:28,639
I was on the landing
on the stairs,
283
00:13:28,641 --> 00:13:30,440
and I heard someone
behind me,
284
00:13:30,442 --> 00:13:32,376
and then I fell
down the stairs.
285
00:13:32,378 --> 00:13:33,911
I was scared,
and I was embarrassed,
286
00:13:33,913 --> 00:13:35,646
and I just got out of there.
287
00:13:38,250 --> 00:13:41,185
This jester dude --
he's making himself
288
00:13:41,187 --> 00:13:46,256
extremely physically present.
289
00:13:46,258 --> 00:13:51,461
This is something that
the living would experience,
290
00:13:51,463 --> 00:13:53,530
like,
physically hurting people --
291
00:13:53,532 --> 00:13:57,267
something as simple as pulling
a chair out from under somebody
292
00:13:57,269 --> 00:14:00,937
so that they fall
on their ass.
293
00:14:00,939 --> 00:14:04,141
It would make them feel
humiliated or embarrassed
294
00:14:04,143 --> 00:14:07,277
to getting more severe,
295
00:14:07,279 --> 00:14:10,947
doing something to cause
a physical injury.
296
00:14:10,949 --> 00:14:15,486
I'm seeing glass breaking
and cutting someone.
297
00:14:15,488 --> 00:14:17,955
The only way he really gets off
is, like,
298
00:14:17,957 --> 00:14:20,290
harming people,
manipulating them,
299
00:14:20,292 --> 00:14:22,292
and that's, like,
the only thing that really
300
00:14:22,294 --> 00:14:25,562
even remotely stimulates him.
301
00:14:25,564 --> 00:14:28,832
This is a very bad person.
302
00:14:28,834 --> 00:14:30,434
He's insane.
303
00:14:50,188 --> 00:14:51,520
If you're into celebrity chefs,
304
00:14:51,522 --> 00:14:54,256
then you know the name
Chris Montero.
305
00:14:54,258 --> 00:14:56,192
Now, he's a local here
and actually got his start
306
00:14:56,194 --> 00:14:58,194
working at Alec's restaurant.
307
00:14:58,196 --> 00:15:00,329
He says he knows all about
the history of Vessel,
308
00:15:00,331 --> 00:15:01,931
and it's a colorful one.
309
00:15:09,540 --> 00:15:10,940
Well, Chris,
it's good to meet you.
310
00:15:10,942 --> 00:15:13,009
On the phone, you mentioned
that my client's property
311
00:15:13,011 --> 00:15:13,876
had a crazy story.
312
00:15:13,878 --> 00:15:15,344
What can you tell me
about that?
313
00:15:15,346 --> 00:15:18,481
It was originally
a Lutheran church,
314
00:15:18,483 --> 00:15:21,150
and then sometime
in the early 1970s,
315
00:15:21,152 --> 00:15:22,618
a prominent
restaurant family
316
00:15:22,620 --> 00:15:24,687
known as the Galatoire family
purchased it
317
00:15:24,689 --> 00:15:28,490
and converted the old church
into a restaurant.
318
00:15:28,492 --> 00:15:30,025
It was called Christian's.
319
00:15:30,027 --> 00:15:32,094
I understand you actually
worked there, though.
320
00:15:32,096 --> 00:15:33,295
When was that?
321
00:15:33,297 --> 00:15:37,233
In the late 1980s,
I worked there for about a year.
322
00:15:37,235 --> 00:15:39,702
Okay, so obviously it's not
Christian's anymore.
323
00:15:39,704 --> 00:15:41,704
- Correct.
- Why'd it close down?
324
00:15:41,706 --> 00:15:43,238
Well, the restaurant itself
325
00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:47,309
had began to sort of wane
in popularity,
326
00:15:47,311 --> 00:15:49,178
and then
Hurricane Katrina hit.
327
00:15:49,180 --> 00:15:51,513
That was pretty much the end
of Christian's as a restaurant.
328
00:15:51,515 --> 00:15:54,049
Okay, so Katrina
was in '05, correct?
329
00:15:54,051 --> 00:15:56,185
- Correct.
- You were here for that?
330
00:15:56,187 --> 00:15:57,987
Absolutely.
Every minute, yeah.
331
00:15:57,989 --> 00:15:59,388
All right.
So what was that like?
332
00:15:59,390 --> 00:16:00,989
The scene was insane.
333
00:16:00,991 --> 00:16:04,192
I have some articles.
This one kind of sums it up.
334
00:16:04,194 --> 00:16:05,594
There was
no drinkable water.
335
00:16:05,596 --> 00:16:06,929
There was no gas
in the city,
336
00:16:06,931 --> 00:16:09,665
no electricity whatsoever,
and everything was flooded
337
00:16:09,667 --> 00:16:12,001
to varying degrees
throughout the city.
338
00:16:15,139 --> 00:16:18,274
Out here, it's different,
339
00:16:18,276 --> 00:16:21,143
and I'm, like, just hearing
people yelling and crying,
340
00:16:21,145 --> 00:16:27,349
and, I mean, it's, like,
a little bit of, like, a panic.
341
00:16:27,351 --> 00:16:29,485
There's so much chaos.
342
00:16:34,158 --> 00:16:38,094
There's pain and loss
and suffering,
343
00:16:38,096 --> 00:16:44,566
and so many people
are feeling so...
344
00:16:44,568 --> 00:16:48,504
like...just devastated.
345
00:16:52,377 --> 00:16:54,710
Okay, so the storm hits.
The restaurant's closed.
346
00:16:54,712 --> 00:16:55,711
What was
the neighborhood like?
347
00:16:55,713 --> 00:16:57,580
I mean,
paint a picture for me.
348
00:16:57,582 --> 00:17:01,450
We were at one of the
worst-affected flood zones.
349
00:17:01,452 --> 00:17:05,387
There was approximately
8 feet of water in the streets,
350
00:17:05,389 --> 00:17:08,457
and in Christian's case,
there was about 4 feet inside.
351
00:17:08,459 --> 00:17:09,925
So what happened?
352
00:17:09,927 --> 00:17:12,928
After the storm, Christian's was
used for a gathering place
353
00:17:12,930 --> 00:17:14,596
for people
who had been displaced,
354
00:17:14,598 --> 00:17:16,598
who had been through
the trauma of the storm.
355
00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:18,734
You have any idea
what the death toll
356
00:17:18,736 --> 00:17:20,469
was like
in your neighborhood,
357
00:17:20,471 --> 00:17:22,338
where my client's property is,
as well?
358
00:17:22,340 --> 00:17:23,872
There's a lot of
unknown there,
359
00:17:23,874 --> 00:17:26,208
but there was a really tragic
incident at a hospital
360
00:17:26,210 --> 00:17:28,077
that was within
short walking distance
361
00:17:28,079 --> 00:17:32,348
from Christian's restaurant
where they lost power,
362
00:17:32,350 --> 00:17:33,682
and as a result
of the flooding
363
00:17:33,684 --> 00:17:36,752
and the inability
to access the hospital,
364
00:17:36,754 --> 00:17:39,889
they lost 19 patients
that were intensive care.
365
00:17:39,891 --> 00:17:41,557
That's a lot.
366
00:17:41,559 --> 00:17:44,827
It's still abandoned,
and standing water, actually,
367
00:17:44,829 --> 00:17:46,828
in the basements
of the hospital today.
368
00:17:46,830 --> 00:17:49,298
- Still?
- Still today, yes.
369
00:17:52,103 --> 00:17:54,970
We're having a lot of sickness.
370
00:17:54,972 --> 00:17:58,040
That does not feel
very good at all.
371
00:17:58,042 --> 00:18:01,243
This is multiple people,
372
00:18:01,245 --> 00:18:04,113
and it's, like,
this horrible, horrible pain,
373
00:18:04,115 --> 00:18:06,115
and, like, ****.
374
00:18:09,587 --> 00:18:11,120
They're rolling people
in and out of here
375
00:18:11,122 --> 00:18:16,458
on, like, gurneys,
and they're carrying them.
376
00:18:16,460 --> 00:18:18,527
I think a lot of people
died here.
377
00:18:18,529 --> 00:18:21,263
It's so much pandemonium.
378
00:18:21,265 --> 00:18:23,933
I can't make sense of it.
379
00:18:23,935 --> 00:18:29,471
It feels like something
very important happened.
380
00:18:29,473 --> 00:18:31,340
I'm getting people
yelling and screaming.
381
00:18:31,342 --> 00:18:33,542
I'm getting a fight.
382
00:18:33,544 --> 00:18:35,010
What the **** is going on?
383
00:18:35,012 --> 00:18:36,878
It's like a little riot.
384
00:18:40,418 --> 00:18:46,222
It was a place
where sick people were.
385
00:18:46,224 --> 00:18:49,091
I think living people here
would feel sick,
386
00:18:49,093 --> 00:18:52,628
nauseous, panic again.
387
00:18:52,630 --> 00:18:54,363
There's so much chaos.
388
00:18:57,235 --> 00:19:00,236
The first thing I do when I get
to town is call the local cops.
389
00:19:00,238 --> 00:19:02,304
I just heard back
from a retired detective.
390
00:19:02,306 --> 00:19:04,507
Now, he says there was
a homicide
391
00:19:04,509 --> 00:19:07,109
right next to Alec's restaurant.
392
00:19:07,111 --> 00:19:08,444
He's pulling the files
for me now
393
00:19:08,446 --> 00:19:10,846
and says the case involves
a family dispute,
394
00:19:10,848 --> 00:19:12,981
deception, and insanity.
395
00:19:20,191 --> 00:19:21,790
So, Ronald, thanks for
looking into this case for me.
396
00:19:21,792 --> 00:19:23,659
When we spoke on the phone,
you said there was a murder
397
00:19:23,661 --> 00:19:25,628
a couple of doors down
from my client's property.
398
00:19:25,630 --> 00:19:26,862
What happened?
399
00:19:26,864 --> 00:19:29,565
September 5th, 1941,
gentleman by the name
400
00:19:29,567 --> 00:19:32,334
of Louis Reuter Sr.
was at work.
401
00:19:32,336 --> 00:19:35,470
He received a phone call
that there may be trouble
402
00:19:35,472 --> 00:19:36,872
at the house
with his son.
403
00:19:36,874 --> 00:19:37,907
What happened next?
404
00:19:37,909 --> 00:19:39,608
Louis Sr. goes over
to the residence
405
00:19:39,610 --> 00:19:42,812
where his son's at
with two coworkers. Okay.
406
00:19:42,814 --> 00:19:45,147
As soon as Louis Sr.
arrives on the property,
407
00:19:45,149 --> 00:19:47,683
he sees his son,
Louis Reuter Jr.,
408
00:19:47,685 --> 00:19:49,285
armed with a handgun.
409
00:19:49,287 --> 00:19:50,685
Okay, so how old's
the kid?
410
00:19:50,687 --> 00:19:53,889
At the time of the shooting,
Junior was 24 years old.
411
00:19:53,891 --> 00:19:55,424
Okay, so what happened?
412
00:19:55,426 --> 00:19:57,893
Junior fires at him
multiple times.
413
00:19:57,895 --> 00:19:59,428
Okay, where's he hit him?
414
00:19:59,430 --> 00:20:02,731
He struck three times --
once in chest, twice in abdomen.
415
00:20:04,968 --> 00:20:07,436
All right, so out of nowhere,
this kid kills his own father.
416
00:20:07,438 --> 00:20:08,571
So what's the background
on this kid?
417
00:20:08,573 --> 00:20:10,306
I mean, any other issues?
418
00:20:10,308 --> 00:20:11,773
During the course
of the investigation,
419
00:20:11,775 --> 00:20:14,376
the police did learn that Junior
had actually been committed
420
00:20:14,378 --> 00:20:17,046
to an asylum
three separate times.
421
00:20:17,048 --> 00:20:18,647
- Kid's a nut-bag.
- Yes, sir.
422
00:20:18,649 --> 00:20:20,649
Another thing is that
Junior had been
423
00:20:20,651 --> 00:20:22,450
cut out of Senior's will.
424
00:20:22,452 --> 00:20:23,652
Okay, so he may be
a nut-bag,
425
00:20:23,654 --> 00:20:25,321
but he also may be pissed
about the money.
426
00:20:25,323 --> 00:20:26,388
Correct.
427
00:20:26,390 --> 00:20:27,456
So what kind of jail time
did he do?
428
00:20:27,458 --> 00:20:30,993
None. Because of
his mental capacity,
429
00:20:30,995 --> 00:20:33,061
the judge decided that
he couldn't tell the difference
430
00:20:33,063 --> 00:20:34,396
between right and wrong,
431
00:20:34,398 --> 00:20:36,731
so he ultimately
was sentenced to time
432
00:20:36,733 --> 00:20:38,333
in a mental-health facility,
433
00:20:38,335 --> 00:20:40,936
and it's not exactly clear how
long he actually spent there.
434
00:20:40,938 --> 00:20:43,004
So he could've did 5, 10 years
and then got out?
435
00:20:43,006 --> 00:20:44,540
Yes, sir.
436
00:20:48,613 --> 00:20:50,613
There's this young guy.
437
00:20:50,615 --> 00:20:53,149
He's so shy.
438
00:20:53,151 --> 00:20:55,684
He's all twisted up in his head.
439
00:20:55,686 --> 00:20:58,153
He's all twisted up inside.
440
00:20:58,155 --> 00:21:00,089
I think he's tied up
with regret.
441
00:21:00,091 --> 00:21:05,094
He's definitely not accepting
any responsibility
442
00:21:05,096 --> 00:21:07,162
for anything that's happened.
443
00:21:10,902 --> 00:21:12,634
And I'm getting a fight --
444
00:21:12,636 --> 00:21:16,372
horrible pain on the left side
of my stomach,
445
00:21:16,374 --> 00:21:19,575
so I can't tell if
it's a stabbing or a handgun.
446
00:21:19,577 --> 00:21:22,978
This was one man on another man.
447
00:21:29,586 --> 00:21:31,586
For more information
about the show,

00:21:31,588 --> 00:21:33,055

to investigate

00:21:33,057 --> 00:21:34,990
unexplained activity

453
00:21:54,344 --> 00:21:56,610
So far, I've got clients
worried about the safety
454
00:21:56,612 --> 00:21:59,280
of their employees
and guests on a property
455
00:21:59,282 --> 00:22:01,482
that was at the heart
of Hurricane Katrina
456
00:22:01,484 --> 00:22:04,084
where nearly
2,000 people died,
457
00:22:04,086 --> 00:22:07,688
but I want to see
if there's anything else.
458
00:22:07,690 --> 00:22:08,689
Looking through old records,
459
00:22:08,691 --> 00:22:10,424
I find one of
the original owners
460
00:22:10,426 --> 00:22:12,226
of Alec and Eddie's property
461
00:22:12,228 --> 00:22:16,630
was a wealthy baroness
with a lot of legal troubles.
462
00:22:16,632 --> 00:22:18,298
I got to know more
about this baroness,
463
00:22:18,300 --> 00:22:20,768
so I'm heading over to meet
with a local historian.
464
00:22:20,770 --> 00:22:23,236
Now, she said the woman's story
is so wild,
465
00:22:23,238 --> 00:22:26,640
it would make a great movie,
if anyone could even believe it.
466
00:22:32,982 --> 00:22:34,382
So, Diana,
on the phone you mentioned
467
00:22:34,384 --> 00:22:36,917
that this baroness
had a pretty wild story.
468
00:22:36,919 --> 00:22:38,719
What do you know
about her?
469
00:22:38,721 --> 00:22:41,989
So this is
Micaela Almonester.
470
00:22:41,991 --> 00:22:45,192
She was born here
in New Orleans in 1795,
471
00:22:45,194 --> 00:22:47,527
and she was heir
to the Almonester fortune,
472
00:22:47,529 --> 00:22:49,463
and the fortune
that she inherited
473
00:22:49,465 --> 00:22:52,600
also included the property
which you are investigating.
474
00:22:52,602 --> 00:22:58,672
At 16, she was married
with her cousin.
475
00:22:58,674 --> 00:23:01,542
Very shortly after that,
they moved to France.
476
00:23:01,544 --> 00:23:03,143
That's where the trouble
started.
477
00:23:03,145 --> 00:23:04,678
Okay, so what are we
talking about?
478
00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:06,147
What kind of trouble?
479
00:23:06,149 --> 00:23:10,284
Her mother had arranged that
she would come into the marriage
480
00:23:10,286 --> 00:23:12,686
maintaining control
of half of her fortune,
481
00:23:12,688 --> 00:23:16,824
and this enraged her
father-in-law, Joseph Pontalba.
482
00:23:16,826 --> 00:23:21,628
He spent the rest of his life
trying to extort the other half.
483
00:23:21,630 --> 00:23:23,030
How's he go about that?
484
00:23:23,032 --> 00:23:24,832
So, he begins with litigation
485
00:23:24,834 --> 00:23:28,636
and filed lawsuits against her
trying to seize that money.
486
00:23:28,638 --> 00:23:30,037
Is he trying to
get the property
487
00:23:30,039 --> 00:23:32,706
where my clients
have their place now?
488
00:23:32,708 --> 00:23:36,243
Yes. Actually, the property
would've been the most valuable
489
00:23:36,245 --> 00:23:39,313
because he would've been able to
collect rents on that property.
490
00:23:39,315 --> 00:23:41,115
Okay.
Is he successful at all?
491
00:23:41,117 --> 00:23:44,117
No. She was
an incredible fighter
492
00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:47,054
and won the lawsuits
that were taken up against her.
493
00:23:47,056 --> 00:23:49,390
All right, so the father-in-law
had to be pissed.
494
00:23:49,392 --> 00:23:50,658
Absolutely.
495
00:23:50,660 --> 00:23:53,327
That's when things
get really ugly.
496
00:23:53,329 --> 00:23:57,398
They lock her in the chateau
for two years,
497
00:23:57,400 --> 00:24:00,400
so she's basically
put in solitary confinement.
498
00:24:00,402 --> 00:24:02,202
Does the husband step in
at all and stop it?
499
00:24:02,204 --> 00:24:03,337
No.
500
00:24:03,339 --> 00:24:07,675
He is very much under the thumb
of his father
501
00:24:07,677 --> 00:24:09,943
and too weak-willed
to protect her.
502
00:24:09,945 --> 00:24:11,679
So this guy is basically
a noodle.
503
00:24:11,681 --> 00:24:13,080
Yeah.
He's a bit of a weenie.
504
00:24:13,082 --> 00:24:16,416
All right, so she's stuck there
for two years.
505
00:24:16,418 --> 00:24:17,751
What happens?
506
00:24:17,753 --> 00:24:21,621
Joseph becomes so frustrated,
so enraged, he snaps.
507
00:24:21,623 --> 00:24:25,559
In 1834, he bursts
into her bedchamber
508
00:24:25,561 --> 00:24:28,696
and shoots her
at point-blank range,
509
00:24:28,698 --> 00:24:29,964
nips an artery.
510
00:24:29,966 --> 00:24:31,698
She's oozing blood.
511
00:24:31,700 --> 00:24:35,302
Joseph, thinking she's dead,
goes into his study,
512
00:24:35,304 --> 00:24:38,372
reloads the pistols,
turns them on himself,
513
00:24:38,374 --> 00:24:39,907
and shoots himself
in the head.
514
00:24:39,909 --> 00:24:41,509
And does she die
from this?
515
00:24:41,511 --> 00:24:43,043
No, she does not.
516
00:24:43,045 --> 00:24:44,979
So this is
a really tough woman. Yes.
517
00:24:44,981 --> 00:24:46,714
Okay, the father-in-law
is dead.
518
00:24:46,716 --> 00:24:49,049
She survives.
What does she do next?
519
00:24:49,051 --> 00:24:50,985
Her next move is
to come back
520
00:24:50,987 --> 00:24:52,720
to what is now
the United States.
521
00:24:52,722 --> 00:24:54,788
She was able to procure
a divorce,
522
00:24:54,790 --> 00:24:57,725
and she's finally able
to regain control
523
00:24:57,727 --> 00:25:00,127
of what she wanted
from the beginning
524
00:25:00,129 --> 00:25:03,397
which was her half
of her fortune.
525
00:25:03,399 --> 00:25:04,999
Okay, so how old is she
when she dies?
526
00:25:05,001 --> 00:25:06,333
78.
527
00:25:06,335 --> 00:25:08,068
Okay, so she lived
a pretty long life.
528
00:25:08,070 --> 00:25:10,537
Especially with shrapnel
in her chest.
529
00:25:10,539 --> 00:25:12,139
Okay, so her remains
brought back here
530
00:25:12,141 --> 00:25:13,207
and buried in New Orleans?
531
00:25:13,209 --> 00:25:15,675
No.
She is buried in France
532
00:25:15,677 --> 00:25:19,213
in a family mausoleum
much like one of these... Okay.
533
00:25:19,215 --> 00:25:23,083
...right next to her husband
and her father-in-law.
534
00:25:23,085 --> 00:25:25,553
Let me get this straight.
She spends her entire adult life
535
00:25:25,555 --> 00:25:27,154
trying to get away
from these two men,
536
00:25:27,156 --> 00:25:28,622
and now she's buried
with them?
537
00:25:28,624 --> 00:25:30,424
Yes, she is.
538
00:25:30,426 --> 00:25:33,560
I suppose in death,
all is forgiven.
539
00:25:36,899 --> 00:25:40,233
I'm seeing that lady
in red again.
540
00:25:40,235 --> 00:25:41,968
Do you get anything
on who she was in life?
541
00:25:41,970 --> 00:25:46,707
She is from a long time ago --
1840s or earlier.
542
00:25:46,709 --> 00:25:49,309
I think, like,
she came from money.
543
00:25:49,311 --> 00:25:52,713
At one point, she was married.
544
00:25:52,715 --> 00:25:55,783
And then something happened.
545
00:25:55,785 --> 00:26:00,054
She told me when we came in here
that she came here for safety.
546
00:26:03,326 --> 00:26:09,997
Something with this woman in red
went really bad,
547
00:26:09,999 --> 00:26:12,866
and this is where she ran.
548
00:26:12,868 --> 00:26:16,603
There's some connection
between her and the jester guy,
549
00:26:16,605 --> 00:26:20,074
so I think she had some
really bad experiences with him.
550
00:26:20,076 --> 00:26:25,346
I just think, boy, he did
some really, really bad things.
551
00:26:25,348 --> 00:26:29,016
She says, "Do not trust men
because they are bad,
552
00:26:29,018 --> 00:26:31,418
and they will hurt you
and/or kill you."
553
00:26:39,428 --> 00:26:41,962
I saw several disturbing things
on my walk,
554
00:26:41,964 --> 00:26:45,632
but two stood out --
first, the jester.
555
00:26:45,634 --> 00:26:50,504
He was thin,
very, very pale.
556
00:26:50,506 --> 00:26:54,241
He had a very long face.
557
00:26:54,243 --> 00:26:56,510
Next, I describe the lady in red
558
00:26:56,512 --> 00:26:59,580
and the tall, shadowy things
by her side.
559
00:26:59,582 --> 00:27:01,982
She's a big, bigger lady.
560
00:27:01,984 --> 00:27:04,451
And then there's, like,
this really super-light
561
00:27:04,453 --> 00:27:06,987
haze around her,
562
00:27:06,989 --> 00:27:09,522
but it has the sleeves
that come down.
563
00:27:17,466 --> 00:27:21,001
Amy, is this
what you saw?
564
00:27:21,003 --> 00:27:22,936
Yes.
That's what I saw.
565
00:27:49,464 --> 00:27:52,465
Now that Amy and I have
completed our investigations,
566
00:27:52,467 --> 00:27:54,668
we're ready to reveal
our findings to each other
567
00:27:54,670 --> 00:27:57,670
and our clients
for the first time.
568
00:27:57,672 --> 00:27:59,005
So, Amy, I'd like you
to meet Alec
569
00:27:59,007 --> 00:28:01,341
and his business partner,
Eddie.
570
00:28:01,343 --> 00:28:05,011
Believe it or not, these guys
bought this place sight unseen.
571
00:28:05,013 --> 00:28:08,348
They busted their asses making
it their dream restaurant,
572
00:28:08,350 --> 00:28:09,682
but since they got here,
573
00:28:09,684 --> 00:28:13,486
activity has been violent
and nonstop.
574
00:28:13,488 --> 00:28:14,554
They're convinced
their customers
575
00:28:14,556 --> 00:28:16,089
and employees
are in danger,
576
00:28:16,091 --> 00:28:20,226
and whatever's here is dead set
on running them out of business.
577
00:28:20,228 --> 00:28:21,628
So now that Amy knows
who you guys are
578
00:28:21,630 --> 00:28:22,895
and what's going on here,
579
00:28:22,897 --> 00:28:24,998
I'll ask her to describe
her walk for us.
580
00:28:28,770 --> 00:28:33,973
So, outside, the residual energy
is extremely heavy,
581
00:28:33,975 --> 00:28:37,243
and it's filled
with sadness.
582
00:28:37,245 --> 00:28:39,579
What I was seeing was
a ton of people
583
00:28:39,581 --> 00:28:44,250
running around in a panic,
yelling and crying nonstop.
584
00:28:44,252 --> 00:28:49,121
I also got a lot of illness,
was feeling nauseous,
585
00:28:49,123 --> 00:28:52,458
and had a lot of
trouble breathing.
586
00:28:52,460 --> 00:28:55,662
I was seeing
people on gurneys,
587
00:28:55,664 --> 00:28:59,932
so what I assumed was that many
people would have died here.
588
00:28:59,934 --> 00:29:04,737
The entire atmosphere outside
is extremely chaotic
589
00:29:04,739 --> 00:29:07,340
and just,
like, pandemonium.
590
00:29:07,342 --> 00:29:09,609
Okay.
When I go out there,
591
00:29:09,611 --> 00:29:14,748
I feel this --
exactly what you described.
592
00:29:14,750 --> 00:29:16,215
You just want to throw up.
593
00:29:16,217 --> 00:29:17,950
You're just like, "God,
I can't deal with this anymore."
594
00:29:17,952 --> 00:29:19,552
So for Amy, I want to give her
a little history
595
00:29:19,554 --> 00:29:20,754
about the building.
Okay.
596
00:29:20,756 --> 00:29:22,688
Obviously, this wasn't
always a restaurant.
597
00:29:22,690 --> 00:29:24,758
It was a Lutheran church
for over 50 years.
598
00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:29,629
In 1977, it became a popular
restaurant called Christian's,
599
00:29:29,631 --> 00:29:33,299
but on August 28th, 2005,
everyone had to evacuate here
600
00:29:33,301 --> 00:29:35,835
because Hurricane Katrina
was moving in.
601
00:29:35,837 --> 00:29:37,037
Ohhhh.
602
00:29:37,039 --> 00:29:38,772
As you know, the devastation
from that storm
603
00:29:38,774 --> 00:29:40,840
was unprecedented,
604
00:29:40,842 --> 00:29:44,644
and at its worst, this room
was 4 feet under water.
605
00:29:44,646 --> 00:29:46,713
****
606
00:29:46,715 --> 00:29:48,714
Now, something you mentioned
really caught my attention.
607
00:29:48,716 --> 00:29:50,716
You mentioned gurneys
608
00:29:50,718 --> 00:29:53,052
and a place where
sick people were.
609
00:29:53,054 --> 00:29:55,188
Well, there's an old hospital
about 200 yards...
610
00:29:55,190 --> 00:29:57,590
...down the block from here.
611
00:29:57,592 --> 00:30:00,794
Unfortunately, they weren't able
to evacuate all the patients.
612
00:30:00,796 --> 00:30:04,130
Between the rising waters
and electrical-power outages,
613
00:30:04,132 --> 00:30:06,533
it resulted
in 19 people dying.
614
00:30:06,535 --> 00:30:08,067
The hospital never reopened.
615
00:30:08,069 --> 00:30:10,669
As for this building,
it became a gathering place
616
00:30:10,671 --> 00:30:15,075
for people to worship and deal
with the aftermath of the storm.
617
00:30:21,683 --> 00:30:24,884
Okay. Now, here
I encountered
618
00:30:24,886 --> 00:30:27,487
an individual
that did concern me.
619
00:30:27,489 --> 00:30:29,355
It's a male.
620
00:30:29,357 --> 00:30:33,626
He was dressed strangely.
621
00:30:33,628 --> 00:30:35,295
The best way
I can describe it
622
00:30:35,297 --> 00:30:39,432
is kind of as a jester
but fancier.
623
00:30:39,434 --> 00:30:42,235
He was from
quite some time ago --
624
00:30:42,237 --> 00:30:44,770
I would say, like, 1820s.
625
00:30:44,772 --> 00:30:46,506
I don't like
this person at all.
626
00:30:46,508 --> 00:30:48,908
I felt like he was the owner,
and he still feels like
627
00:30:48,910 --> 00:30:52,111
he's the owner
of this place.
628
00:30:52,113 --> 00:30:56,115
And my concern
for people here
629
00:30:56,117 --> 00:31:00,786
is that this individual
is completely insane.
630
00:31:00,788 --> 00:31:03,923
He can make the living
see and hear things
631
00:31:03,925 --> 00:31:05,992
that aren't
necessarily there.
632
00:31:05,994 --> 00:31:08,127
He's extremely present.
633
00:31:08,129 --> 00:31:10,663
Living people
might see him.
634
00:31:10,665 --> 00:31:12,398
Right after we started
working in here,
635
00:31:12,400 --> 00:31:15,868
I would see something like
a shadow, a monk apparition,
636
00:31:15,870 --> 00:31:18,470
over in this area,
and it was constant.
637
00:31:18,472 --> 00:31:21,207
I thought I was crazy,
but it happened a lot.
638
00:31:21,209 --> 00:31:26,546
His focus would be on,
like, females.
639
00:31:26,548 --> 00:31:29,682
One of the things
I saw him doing potentially
640
00:31:29,684 --> 00:31:31,217
was pulling a chair out
641
00:31:31,219 --> 00:31:33,619
so somebody would fall
on their ass.
642
00:31:33,621 --> 00:31:36,689
When we first opened,
somebody sat down on a chair,
643
00:31:36,691 --> 00:31:38,424
and it was like
they were pushed over.
644
00:31:38,426 --> 00:31:40,826
The whole chair was right
over here on the ground.
645
00:31:40,828 --> 00:31:42,895
- She falls flat on the floor...
- Flat on the floor.
646
00:31:42,897 --> 00:31:44,196
...has to be taken away
on a stretcher.
647
00:31:44,198 --> 00:31:45,364
Man.
648
00:31:45,366 --> 00:31:49,235
He likes to embarrass,
and he likes to humiliate.
649
00:31:49,237 --> 00:31:52,171
He is definitely
a psychopath.
650
00:31:52,173 --> 00:31:54,307
Talk about the glass of water
with the critic.
651
00:31:54,309 --> 00:31:55,642
I knew
that was gonna come up
652
00:31:55,644 --> 00:31:57,309
because when you say
"embarrassed,"
653
00:31:57,311 --> 00:31:59,645
we even had an incident
where we had a warning
654
00:31:59,647 --> 00:32:01,047
the food critic
was coming in,
655
00:32:01,049 --> 00:32:04,384
so whatever you do, make sure
it's perfect, perfect.
656
00:32:04,386 --> 00:32:07,920
And the glass of water just goes
ka-plump on top of the critic.
657
00:32:07,922 --> 00:32:09,855
I mean, what could be
more embarrassing
658
00:32:09,857 --> 00:32:13,659
than dumping water
on a food critic? Right.
659
00:32:13,661 --> 00:32:16,329
Now, Amy, you said
this guy was a psychopath.
660
00:32:16,331 --> 00:32:17,863
Tell her what happened
with the burners.
661
00:32:17,865 --> 00:32:19,199
There's a checklist.
662
00:32:19,201 --> 00:32:21,267
Every night when they leave,
they make sure the gas is off,
663
00:32:21,269 --> 00:32:23,002
the burners are off,
the hood's off.
664
00:32:23,004 --> 00:32:24,137
We come in.
665
00:32:24,139 --> 00:32:27,339
Every single burner
on the cooktop is on.
666
00:32:27,341 --> 00:32:29,408
The chef had turned them
all off.
667
00:32:29,410 --> 00:32:31,010
This is bad.
668
00:32:31,012 --> 00:32:33,413
I did have a sketch done.
669
00:32:44,359 --> 00:32:45,825
That's interesting.
670
00:32:49,164 --> 00:32:51,430
My God.
671
00:32:51,432 --> 00:32:54,167
So this is the guy
that's causing the problems... Yes.
672
00:32:54,169 --> 00:32:56,035
...wants to hurt,
wants to embarrass.
673
00:32:56,037 --> 00:32:57,770
Yes. Like, he likes
to humiliate.
674
00:32:57,772 --> 00:32:59,772
He likes to make people
feel uncomfortable.
675
00:32:59,774 --> 00:33:01,640
He likes to hurt.
676
00:33:07,548 --> 00:33:10,449
Anything else?
677
00:33:10,451 --> 00:33:13,719
Another dead person that
I encountered was a female.
678
00:33:13,721 --> 00:33:16,723
She's the one
I'm the most worried about.
679
00:33:16,725 --> 00:33:20,326
She was dressed completely
in red from head to toe,
680
00:33:20,328 --> 00:33:25,231
and I felt maybe 1840s,
maybe earlier,
681
00:33:25,233 --> 00:33:27,066
came from a lot of money,
682
00:33:27,068 --> 00:33:30,602
but I think that
she may have lost it.
683
00:33:30,604 --> 00:33:32,538
She had been married,
684
00:33:32,540 --> 00:33:35,541
and then she said
something really bad happened
685
00:33:35,543 --> 00:33:39,412
and changed her
significantly.
686
00:33:39,414 --> 00:33:42,281
She was telling me,
"Don't trust men
687
00:33:42,283 --> 00:33:45,217
because they will hurt you.
They will kill you."
688
00:33:45,219 --> 00:33:47,953
She said that she had to
come here for safety
689
00:33:47,955 --> 00:33:52,225
because she was escaping men --
bad men that were after her.
690
00:33:52,227 --> 00:33:56,095
One of those men
may have murdered her.
691
00:33:56,097 --> 00:33:58,364
I do know for a fact
that someone tried
692
00:33:58,366 --> 00:33:59,765
to make her disappear.
693
00:33:59,767 --> 00:34:03,102
Amy just hit on just about
everything that makes me think
694
00:34:03,104 --> 00:34:05,438
of one of the original owners
of the property.
695
00:34:05,440 --> 00:34:09,308
Her name was
Baroness Micaela Pontalba.
696
00:34:09,310 --> 00:34:13,246
She was born in New Orleans
in 1795 to a filthy-rich family.
697
00:34:13,248 --> 00:34:16,783
Micaela became the sole heir
to a massive fortune.
698
00:34:16,785 --> 00:34:19,385
That fortune included
this property.
699
00:34:19,387 --> 00:34:20,586
Geez.
700
00:34:20,588 --> 00:34:23,189
When she was 16, she got
involved in an arranged marriage
701
00:34:23,191 --> 00:34:26,192
to her French cousin,
Celestin Pontalba,
702
00:34:26,194 --> 00:34:29,061
and this is a portrait
of him right here.
703
00:34:29,063 --> 00:34:30,463
A short time after
they married,
704
00:34:30,465 --> 00:34:33,399
they went to live
with his family in Paris.
705
00:34:33,401 --> 00:34:35,068
Now, when she got married,
her family
706
00:34:35,070 --> 00:34:39,004
gave the husband's family
half of her fortune as a dowry.
707
00:34:39,006 --> 00:34:41,740
That wasn't good enough
for her father-in-law,
708
00:34:41,742 --> 00:34:44,143
Baron Joseph Pontalba.
709
00:34:44,145 --> 00:34:48,547
Joseph felt like he was
entitled to all the money.
710
00:34:48,549 --> 00:34:50,682
He spent the rest of his life
torturing her,
711
00:34:50,684 --> 00:34:52,752
trying to get every penny.
712
00:34:52,754 --> 00:34:54,553
Her husband was
such a noodle
713
00:34:54,555 --> 00:34:56,689
that he just let his father
get away with it.
714
00:34:56,691 --> 00:34:59,358
Now, you mentioned someone made
the woman you saw disappear.
715
00:34:59,360 --> 00:35:01,294
Well, her father-in-law,
Joseph,
716
00:35:01,296 --> 00:35:03,896
locked her up in a chateau
for two full years.
717
00:35:05,300 --> 00:35:07,100
She still wouldn't give up
her money, though.
718
00:35:07,102 --> 00:35:09,902
I mean, she was a tough,
tough woman.
719
00:35:09,904 --> 00:35:11,170
Now, you said the woman
you saw
720
00:35:11,172 --> 00:35:12,505
might have been murdered
by a man.
721
00:35:12,507 --> 00:35:14,440
Well, that almost happened.
722
00:35:14,442 --> 00:35:16,776
Her father-in-law was
so pissed
723
00:35:16,778 --> 00:35:19,378
he couldn't get her money
that he snapped.
724
00:35:19,380 --> 00:35:22,248
One morning in 1834,
he busted into her bedroom
725
00:35:22,250 --> 00:35:24,650
and shot her three times
at point-blank range.
726
00:35:24,652 --> 00:35:26,652
- My God.
- What the ****?
727
00:35:26,654 --> 00:35:28,321
Yeah.
The father-in-law panicked,
728
00:35:28,323 --> 00:35:30,590
and he shoots himself
in the head.
729
00:35:30,592 --> 00:35:33,326
Unbelievably, she lives.
730
00:35:33,328 --> 00:35:38,330
She comes back to New Orleans
and files for divorce.
731
00:35:38,332 --> 00:35:42,268
This is how she looked
during her portrait.
732
00:35:42,270 --> 00:35:45,337
Is it possible that this
baroness is the woman you saw?
733
00:35:45,339 --> 00:35:48,207
Yeah. Her face looks
just like the face
734
00:35:48,209 --> 00:35:51,543
of the woman
that I encountered.
735
00:35:51,545 --> 00:35:53,479
It really makes sense.
736
00:35:53,481 --> 00:35:55,147
Now, I was also able
to get a picture
737
00:35:55,149 --> 00:35:57,750
of her father-in-law,
Joseph Pontalba.
738
00:35:57,752 --> 00:35:59,352
This is him here.
739
00:36:03,358 --> 00:36:06,959
My God.
It looks like this guy.
740
00:36:11,766 --> 00:36:13,499
You know what?
I agree with Alec.
741
00:36:13,501 --> 00:36:14,967
Could he be the jester?
742
00:36:14,969 --> 00:36:17,570
I think it's possible
because, yeah,
743
00:36:17,572 --> 00:36:20,373
his mouth did do
that weird curlicue thing.
744
00:36:20,375 --> 00:36:22,374
He does sort of have
a little bit of a smirk.
745
00:36:22,376 --> 00:36:24,911
Yeah, with the mouth,
yeah.
746
00:36:24,913 --> 00:36:26,378
So, now, this lady in red --
747
00:36:26,380 --> 00:36:27,980
would they have experiences
with her?
748
00:36:27,982 --> 00:36:31,717
Yes. She's very present
and very physical.
749
00:36:31,719 --> 00:36:34,387
She wrapped
her left arm around me,
750
00:36:34,389 --> 00:36:38,324
and she sent ice-cold chills
through my body.
751
00:36:38,326 --> 00:36:39,926
There's an area
on the stairwell.
752
00:36:39,928 --> 00:36:42,595
There is absolutely no air vents
there, and all of the sudden,
753
00:36:42,597 --> 00:36:47,266
there's this whisk of cold,
freezing air in that area.
754
00:36:47,268 --> 00:36:50,536
She hates men,
considers them a threat.
755
00:36:50,538 --> 00:36:54,206
She may hit, punch,
pull hair, push them,
756
00:36:54,208 --> 00:36:56,342
anything to get them
away from her.
757
00:36:56,344 --> 00:36:57,543
Eddie, you talked about
an employee
758
00:36:57,545 --> 00:36:58,811
who was pushed down
the stairs, right?
759
00:36:58,813 --> 00:37:00,679
- Right.
- Tell Amy about that.
760
00:37:00,681 --> 00:37:01,881
He just tripped
for no reason.
761
00:37:01,883 --> 00:37:05,751
Like, somebody grabbed
his ankle, and he tripped.
762
00:37:05,753 --> 00:37:09,087
One of the most concerning
things about her
763
00:37:09,089 --> 00:37:14,693
is that she has
some shadow beings with her.
764
00:37:14,695 --> 00:37:19,498
She wanted to work with them
to get rid of people.
765
00:37:19,500 --> 00:37:21,366
Your employees see
shadow figures, right?
766
00:37:21,368 --> 00:37:23,035
Yes, very often.
767
00:37:23,037 --> 00:37:26,438
Do they tell you what
the shadow figures look like?
768
00:37:26,440 --> 00:37:28,174
I had a sketch done.
769
00:37:28,176 --> 00:37:29,842
Of these shadow things?
770
00:37:29,844 --> 00:37:31,711
Yes.
771
00:37:43,791 --> 00:37:45,458
My gosh.
772
00:37:49,463 --> 00:37:50,463
Now, was it you
that got touched
773
00:37:50,465 --> 00:37:51,597
on the back of the neck,
or was it...
774
00:37:51,599 --> 00:37:53,866
Many times
in the small office.
775
00:37:53,868 --> 00:37:55,268
Many times that happened.
776
00:37:55,270 --> 00:37:57,803
She wants people gone.
Yes.
777
00:37:57,805 --> 00:38:00,272
She's doing a good job of it,
that's for sure --
778
00:38:00,274 --> 00:38:03,142
a really good job.
779
00:38:03,144 --> 00:38:06,278
So the reason we're doing
a daytime reveal
780
00:38:06,280 --> 00:38:07,613
is because these guys
are getting ready
781
00:38:07,615 --> 00:38:09,415
to open up the restaurant
in about an hour.
782
00:38:09,417 --> 00:38:12,485
I mean, is it really
a safe thing to do?
783
00:38:12,487 --> 00:38:16,422
I don't know
because these shadow entities
784
00:38:16,424 --> 00:38:18,490
were never human.
785
00:38:18,492 --> 00:38:20,760
The baroness --
she doesn't understand
786
00:38:20,762 --> 00:38:22,695
what she's working with here.
787
00:38:22,697 --> 00:38:27,232
Whatever she's doing will
potentially make them go rogue,
788
00:38:27,234 --> 00:38:29,902
give them kind of
more of a consciousness,
789
00:38:29,904 --> 00:38:31,571
and it could become
very serious
790
00:38:31,573 --> 00:38:35,374
and very destructive
and out of her hands.
791
00:38:35,376 --> 00:38:38,711
So what happens if these
shadow figures get a conscious?
792
00:38:38,713 --> 00:38:39,978
What could happen here?
793
00:38:39,980 --> 00:38:44,049
Well, then they will function
as independent entities,
794
00:38:44,051 --> 00:38:47,086
and then it'll just
be destruction and mayhem.
795
00:38:49,456 --> 00:38:51,524
My God.
796
00:39:09,409 --> 00:39:12,010
Alec and Eddie, I'm glad
you called us in when you did.
797
00:39:12,012 --> 00:39:15,213
You got a lot going on in here,
and it's obviously dangerous.
798
00:39:15,215 --> 00:39:17,081
It's time to answer
the big question --
799
00:39:17,083 --> 00:39:19,350
is there any way to stop
the violent activity
800
00:39:19,352 --> 00:39:21,552
so that you can make
this place safe
801
00:39:21,554 --> 00:39:25,356
and save the business that you
obviously care about so much?
802
00:39:25,358 --> 00:39:27,625
For that answer, I'm gonna
turn it over to Amy.
803
00:39:29,829 --> 00:39:35,032
I believe
that you can stay.
804
00:39:35,034 --> 00:39:40,371
But you're going to have to do
a lot of steps initially.
805
00:39:40,373 --> 00:39:41,706
- Okay.
- Okay.
806
00:39:41,708 --> 00:39:45,843
The first thing is to take care
of the jester, the torturer,
807
00:39:45,845 --> 00:39:49,980
so I would like a male
who's a physical medium
808
00:39:49,982 --> 00:39:53,718
who is very big, very strong,
and very assertive
809
00:39:53,720 --> 00:39:58,656
who will put him in his place
and will then remove him.
810
00:39:58,658 --> 00:40:01,525
The following week,
bring in now
811
00:40:01,527 --> 00:40:04,462
a very strong
female medium
812
00:40:04,464 --> 00:40:08,333
to come in
and remove her.
813
00:40:08,335 --> 00:40:12,736
Now, as far as
the shadow entities,
814
00:40:12,738 --> 00:40:17,475
they will move outside,
and she will take care of them.
815
00:40:17,477 --> 00:40:18,809
So when the baroness goes,
816
00:40:18,811 --> 00:40:20,744
the shadow things
go with her?
817
00:40:20,746 --> 00:40:22,079
Correct.
818
00:40:22,081 --> 00:40:24,148
Once you get rid of them,
then, hopefully,
819
00:40:24,150 --> 00:40:26,818
your employees won't be harassed
or afraid to come to work.
820
00:40:28,088 --> 00:40:31,756
You won't have critics
getting water spilt on them.
821
00:40:31,758 --> 00:40:34,892
Now, for the patio,
that's a lot of residual
822
00:40:34,894 --> 00:40:37,161
that has to be dealt with,
823
00:40:37,163 --> 00:40:40,431
so the first thing is
to bring in a psychic
824
00:40:40,433 --> 00:40:43,367
who will show you how
to do a proper cleansing.
825
00:40:43,369 --> 00:40:47,438
They're going to remove
as much residual
826
00:40:47,440 --> 00:40:52,042
as they can
out of that patio space.
827
00:40:52,044 --> 00:40:53,511
Okay.
828
00:40:53,513 --> 00:40:57,648
And also then have that same
individual do a proper blocking.
829
00:40:57,650 --> 00:41:00,785
What they're gonna do
is put up a barrier
830
00:41:00,787 --> 00:41:04,989
to prevent anything
from coming back in there.
831
00:41:04,991 --> 00:41:06,524
So with all this
being done --
832
00:41:06,526 --> 00:41:07,925
let's say it's all
said and done.
833
00:41:07,927 --> 00:41:10,261
They shouldn't have any more
dangerous problems here
834
00:41:10,263 --> 00:41:11,595
when it comes
to the paranormal.
835
00:41:11,597 --> 00:41:16,667
You are in a very active
location regardless,
836
00:41:16,669 --> 00:41:20,738
and so you're going to
have things come and go,
837
00:41:20,740 --> 00:41:23,474
but it won't be this bad.
838
00:41:23,476 --> 00:41:25,142
Are you -- you're willing
to do all this stuff.
839
00:41:25,144 --> 00:41:26,411
- Of course, of course.
- Okay.
840
00:41:26,413 --> 00:41:29,013
- I mean, we have no choice.
- You have to do it.
841
00:41:29,015 --> 00:41:31,282
You have to have an outlook
for a solution.
842
00:41:31,284 --> 00:41:33,217
You can't keep going down
the same path
843
00:41:33,219 --> 00:41:34,752
that's not working, right?
844
00:41:34,754 --> 00:41:37,354
But we have
a great opportunity.
845
00:41:37,356 --> 00:41:40,358
It's like a ton of bricks
has been lifted off us.
846
00:41:40,360 --> 00:41:41,959
It's pretty amazing.
847
00:41:41,961 --> 00:41:45,763
- Thank you both.
- Thank you.
848
00:41:45,765 --> 00:41:48,565
I really hope
Alec and Eddie follow my advice.
849
00:41:48,567 --> 00:41:51,235
If they do, they can continue
running the restaurant
850
00:41:51,237 --> 00:41:54,238
they love so much,
and more importantly,
851
00:41:54,240 --> 00:41:57,575
their employees and guests
will be safe from harm.
852
00:42:01,380 --> 00:42:04,449
We wanted to give you an update
on what has been going on
853
00:42:04,451 --> 00:42:06,850
since Amy and Steve
came to Vessel.
854
00:42:06,852 --> 00:42:11,188
Before they came, every single
day was a challenge for us.
855
00:42:11,190 --> 00:42:12,390
After meeting with them,
856
00:42:12,392 --> 00:42:15,326
everything became really
so clear and made sense.
857
00:42:15,328 --> 00:42:16,727
We followed Amy
and Steve's advice,
858
00:42:16,729 --> 00:42:18,930
and we're still looking
for one more medium
859
00:42:18,932 --> 00:42:20,731
and have some good leads
and are confident
860
00:42:20,733 --> 00:42:22,467
we'll have somebody
really, really soon.
861
00:42:22,469 --> 00:42:24,936
We're grateful to Amy and Steve
for all their help.
862
00:42:24,938 --> 00:42:27,204
Things are really
looking up,
863
00:42:27,206 --> 00:42:28,873
and we really feel like
we have a bright future now.
864
00:42:28,923 --> 00:42:33,473
